  Speaker 2: Welcome in The Doug Peterson Show, presented by Fresh from
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Florida from the Hyundai Studios, JP, Shadrick, Jeff Logoman. We're
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: on the Jaguars Radio Network presented by the University of Florida.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Doug Peterson will join us live in person again week
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: one before the Jaguars Dolphins match up. Well, now it's
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: preseason week two. The Jaguars just had two days of
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: practices against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Miller Electric
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Center just outside of here Logs and got a lot
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: of good work.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: In against the good football team.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: The Buccaneers have a lot of talented players on that squad.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: The Jaguars feel like they do as well, and I
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: think they got some good work in against each other
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: for two days. Well, definitely got some good work. And
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: you talk about the perfect setup for having joint practices here,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: the combination of having the Miller Electric Center and then
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: also EverBank field in the stadium right here. It's the
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: perfect ideal setup. Why because you have a team that
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: comes in they can utilize the locker room facilities at
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: the stadium, which they'll use on game day as well.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: They have the ability to even use the Jaguars game
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: day laundry room, so to speak, so they can even
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: do the laundry in the Jaguars old facility and the
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: equipment room over there which is still functional. They also
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: had the ability to use Daily's Place, the indoor facility
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: behind the stage, if they wanted to do an indoor
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: walk through. So yeah, really good setup for a team
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: to come in here and practice with the Jaguars. You
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: know it's here. The other day, Florida State was there.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: The other day the Seminoles were in town practicing at
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: the Daily's place. Really well, the Jags were doing us
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: over here. Really yeah.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't known an either.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Why were they just get out of Tallahassee for a
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: few days and yeah, but they were at the same
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: time the Jaguars.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I didn't even had no idea they did.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: They practice just inside I think so okay, yeah, how
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: about that? Okay, got him too? I think that I
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: got you I got you. Yeah, but I mean look
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: at I mean, look at all the facilities. I mean,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I mean the middle of Electric Center is amazing, right,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, but let's not forget that Daily's place with
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: the you know, the stadium and all of that. I mean,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: it's it's it's the perfect setup. Like with the UH
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: for example, the last year, we had to go to Detroit,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: so the entire team would get dressed at the hotel
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: and then ride the bus to the Detroit Lines practice facility,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: which was Ballpark thirty ish minutes. Yeah, right, right, depending
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: on yes. Okay, so after practice, after sweating profusely for
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: two hours, what did you do? You got on that
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: bus all sweaty with all your gear and then he
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: had arrived thirty minutes in the bus to get back
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: to the hotel so you could shower back at the hotel,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: and then all the Jaguars equipment staff had to line
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: up places to do laundry and to range for all
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the equipment. And whereas here it's it's a it's a
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: it's a great setup. I know. The Buccaneers staff was
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: very grateful for having the opportunity to come here for
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the joint practices, let's hear from Doug Peterson on having
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: the joint practices and getting a lot of work done.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought of it, well, good good competition out there.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: You know, it's a lot of plays when you think
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: about I think we had ninety plus reps on both sides,
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: you know, so you know you're playing maybe a game
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: and a half of practice. But it was good, you know, again,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: great competition. It was good to go against another opponent.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Todd does a great job of coaching his players, obviously,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: and it was just it was good.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Ninety plus reps. They're getting it in, there's no doubt
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: about it. Yeah, it's it's probably it's probably a little
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: bit less than your own practice, you know what I mean,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: because you're you're practicing the same amount of time, I guess,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: and so I think the numbers are just a little
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: bit less, but the quality is like because you're facing
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: a yeah, that's much better. The intensity is higher. The
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: competitive nature obviously comes out in players, and you know,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: the Buccaneers I'm sure are going to probably have the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: same type of approach where their starters did a lot
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: of reps in the practices the last two days and
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: then they may not play a lot in the games,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: and so you get a higher level of commitment I
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: think to the practice that way. But but you know,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: and here's the one thing I think that they did
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: a great job. I'm giving a lot of credit to
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Todd Bowles and to Doug Peterson that the practices were
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: very had a great tempo, they were competitive. There wasn't
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: really any fit to cuffs. There was, you know, maybe
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: a couple pushes here and there, but for the most part,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: very civil and productive. And that's exactly I think what
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: they were hoping for and wanting, and that's exactly what
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: they got.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's two professional teams getting work done, not
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: worried about trying to show the other up or anything
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: like that. And you know, part of that is the
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: coaching staff too, is efficient because as Doug Peterson said earlier,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: you know, we we wrote off signed off on this
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: right after the schedule came out. But then in the
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: week or so leading into these is when the coordinators
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: get together and organize the actual number of plays. Here's
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: here's our personnel groupings for this day, so you can
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: kind of match it. So they're not worried about that
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and kind of make an even playing field, and then
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I think some of today might have been scripted, but
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: not all of it, so you kind of they've had
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: that done in the last.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Week or two, So pretty cool.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: I'm a I'm a first of all, I'm a big
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: fan of Doug Peterson.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: You know that.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: But I'm a big fan and I've always been. I
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: don't know him from Adam. I'm a big fan of
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Todd Bowles and I have been going all the way
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: back to win. He was the head coach of the Jets,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: and I thought he handled himself in a big media
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: market incredibly well. He never was a guy that was
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: about him. He was always about the team. And he's
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: got a I think a tremendous amount of respect from
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: those in the league circles for the type of person
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: that he is and the type of coach that he is,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: and players want to play for him. So a great,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: great coach to kind of have come in and to
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: work with, I think from the Jaguar standpoint, Todd Bowles,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: at least last about three days ago, told the Tampa
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Bay media the same idea for starters that in theory
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: he would lean towards preseason Week three they're playing the
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: Dolphins in preseason Week three to get the starters some times,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: so you may not see Mayfield and the starter as
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Mike Evans all those guys Saturday DA. I mean, if
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I'm him, I'm not playing those guys. I mean, I'm
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: definitely not playing Mike Evans. But I mean there might
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: be a few starters that I would consider playing, you know,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: like Graham Barton, who's their first round pick out of Duke,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: who was a tackle at Duke. I would consider playing him,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: just you know, he's young to get the reps. But
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I think, you know, for the most part,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: your experienced, veteran guys that have been there, done that. Yeah,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: I don't want to have him playing. In about twenty minutes,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: we'll hear from offensive lineman Cooper Hodges, in his second year,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: coming off an issue and played well last week. We'll
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: get his thoughts on the recovery process and much more.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: But up next how the Jaguars quarterback experience helps them
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: in this preseason. This is the Doug Peterson Show on
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the Jaguars Radio Network.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: The addition of Mac was was great, for that room. Uh,
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: it was great for CJ. They've both those guys have
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: really embraced the challenge.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: We've been up front with.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: Both of them and explained exactly how camp was going
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: to go. And and you know, really both of them
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: I think are within three or four reps of having
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: you know, fifty to fifty, you know, split right down
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: the middle. So it's been good. It's been good competition,
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: you know, and CJ has been a really positive influence
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: on Mac just learning the system too. And and and
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: that's something you don't see when when when somebody's challenging
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: for your spot, you know, and you see that other
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: player coach him up a little bit. That's that's encouraging.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Head coach Doug Peterson Earlier today, Welcome back to Doug
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Peterson Show, presented by Fresh from Florida on the University
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: of Florida Jaguars Radio Network uf number one university in
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: the US News and World Reports, number one state for
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: education and quarterback talk. Yes, the Jaguar is not expected
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: to run Trevor Lawrence out there this week, so Mac
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Jones and CJ. Bethard will each get a half of
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: football and Doug Peterson Today would not officially say who
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: is starting the game. You get a pretty good idea
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: that Mac Jones will probably be the first quarterback out there.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: At least I would think that, Yeah, it would be cool.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, look, he's a hometown guy, CJ. You know,
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: comfortable in his own shoes, you know, So I think
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: it would be a cool moment for Jacksonville and then
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: also for mac Jones.
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: But think about the dynamic, right, and.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: It's I mean, it's actually a similar path to what
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield has had to go through. He was the
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: first round pick, didn't work out. He's worked a couple
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: different teams. Well, Mac Jones first round pick in New
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: England no longer in New England, got traded away, and
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: there's an established franchise quarterback in Jacksonville, so you know
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: he's not going to start here.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: You got CJ.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Bethrid who's been the backup for a couple of years
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: around here, basically the incumbent backup if you will, and
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: you know, in theory could be supplanted of that spot.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: But CJ's here to help. This is a group that
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: just they help each other move along. It's not it's competition,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: but it's a healthy competition and the rising tidle lifts
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: all ships. Well, I think you got to give a
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: lot of credit, I mean to Mac Jones, but I
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: believe the most of the credit goes to the ones
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: that were already in the room, which is Trevor and
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: also CJ. You know, because I mean, look, it's been
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: their room. So when you have a newcomer, it's how
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: are you going to treat them?
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: In this guy?
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: So when Doug Peterson talks about how CJ's helping Mac
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Jones learn the system and stuff, I mean that, you know,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: that just goes to show you once again that c J.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Buthert is very comfortable in his own skin and very
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: comfortable with where he's at as a professional. So a
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: lot of respect for CJ. Bethert from that standpoint, because
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of guys that would have the attitude. Look,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: that's not my job to help him out, because if
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: I'm going to help him out, it's going to help
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: me get help me out out the door. I don't
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: want that, That's right. So you know, it's an interesting dynamic.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: And but you know, you hear all of them talk
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: about how good of a room that is, and I
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: think part of the reason that that room is good
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: is that I'm a big fan of Mike McCoy, the
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks coach. He's he's been around the league a while,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: he's played the game. High level respect for him, and
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: I think the players in that room have a high
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: level respect for him as well. And so without good
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: coaching and leadership from the head coach, the offensive coordinator,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: and in particular when you talk about the day to
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: day of being in that room, the quarterback coach, that
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: makes a big deal. Well, here from Mike McCoy in
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: countdown to kickoff this Saturday. It's a six thirty start time.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Brian Sexton caught up with him after PRA just this week,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: and former head coach. Guys been around the league for
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: a long time and coach a lot of coach Philip
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Rivers in San Diego, So yeah, right, he kind of
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: gets what's going on. Always an interesting conversation with him. So,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: what's the best thing you've seen from Mac Jones on
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: the field this training camp?
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: The energy, the.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Consistent energy day in and day out has been really
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: really good and really consistent. The the accuracy, you know,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: the way that he gets the ball out on time
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: has been really good. And again the arm talent, you know,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: to go back to what I was saying about how
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: you don't have to change the offense if all of
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: a sudden you go from Trevor to mac Jones, because
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: they're similar. And this is not a knock on CJ.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: But CJ just doesn't have the level of arm strength
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: that Trevor and mac Jones have. I think he has
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: a good arm, but he has to get there by
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: throwing the ball sooner and anticipating because he just doesn't
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: generate the velocity or the zip on the ball. And
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: there's nothing wrong with that. Quarterbacks accomplished things in different ways.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Chad Pennington, for example, had one of the weakest arms
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: in football. I mean had literally like a lollipop arm.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Everything was you know, arcd because he couldn't generate velocity.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: But Peyton at the end, oh Peyton Manning at the end.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: We know from the neck he lost a lot of
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: zip on the ball. But I mean, look, both of
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: those guys are incredibly high completion percentage guys and and
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: did a great job. That's the quarterback set up this week.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Interested to see what comes out of that and in
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: theory as Trevor Lawrence would start next week in Atlanta
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: on Friday.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you would expect.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: Curious how long the starter is going that game, because
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: there's what sixteen days off between the game and the
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: regular sees a lot, so you got to get some
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: work in. Kind of weird, but that's how it is.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, they've had it that week, so you got
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: to get some work in in that last game now
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: and you know how much time and who plays after
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: that in the last game kind of tells you a
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: lot of who might be on the bubble, right, because
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: if you're going to protect a guy and put him
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: on your roster, you might not throw him out there
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: like in the second half of the game in some
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: of these positions. Yeah, some guys just have to play.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: You have to have bodies out there to play. Yeah,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: you got to be able to fill a team. And
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: we'll discuss this in depth next week before that Atlanta game,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: but it's something to think about going into that Atlanta game.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Who's really going to be playing in that one? Yeah,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: And I like the setup to where you have the
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: bigger window between the end of the preseason to the
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: beginning of the season and I like it because at
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: least it makes the last preseason game have some meaning.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, how many times have we seen in years
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: past to where the last preseason game is nine days
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: away from the opener and then you have coaches that say.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: I'm not playing anybody.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, Belichick was the first one to kind of
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: do that, where he just didn't play anybody that was
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: going to be active and on opening day, and it
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: makes the last preseason game. I mean just you know, look,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: if it's to be honest, I mean, it was painful
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: to broadcast at times, you know, because you're like, who
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: am I talking about here?
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: All these guys, I mean, you know who they were.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: But you know, you get my point. You know, it's
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: just you're not talking about guys are gonna be with football? Yeah,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: who are these guys gonna play for next week? Yes,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: it ain't gonna be the Jaguars. No, I mean some
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: of them were. I mean, you know, some of the
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: backups had to play. But it was just like, geez, tough, painful.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: We're back in a moment. We'll hear again from the
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: head coach Doug Peterson discussing some young defensive backs who
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: are battling for spots and Eric Armstead back in the
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: fold kind of this week. This is the Doug Peterson
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Show on Jaguars Radio.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: You know, monterk I think last year playing even confidence
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: going into this year, and he competed well. Christian, you know,
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: he battled through some injury last year, ir kind of
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: most of the season, if not all of it, I think,
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: and really kind of came out this year. I think,
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: something to prove and he's done that, and he's done
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: a nice job, you know, this year. And so those
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: two have really taken the steps you want to see,
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: you know, and I think too it's a credit to
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: you know, Chris and Corey coaching everybody back there and
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: getting everybody, you know, equal time.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Doug Peterson earlier today on some young defensive backs one

  Speaker 4: J P.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Shatick with Jeff Logoman on The Doug Peterson Show, and
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: we're hearing some of the best of Doug Peterson's press
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: conference from earlier today. The head coach will be back
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: with us for his show in person starting week one
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: ahead of the Dolphins game.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: Coming up in less than ten minutes.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Cooper Hodges, second year guard Rappalachian State and Baker County,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: right outside Jacksonville, playing for a team he grew up watching.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: We'll hear from Cooper coming up in a little bit.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Young corners trying to make a mark. You know pretty
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: much what the front line will be on defense. You
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: have a good idea at least, yeah, pretty good. I
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: like you still need guys out there that can do
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: it if they are injuries, and guys that can do
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: it on the special teams units as well. The I
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: think this is one of the most intriguing positions if
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: you're trying to figure out the roster looking at you know,
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: we kind of know Tyson Campbell's gonna be a guy,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: and Ronald Darby's gonna be a guy. You feel like
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Braswell can be a Nickel Savage who they acquired and
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: free agency who has been wearing the red Jersey all
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: through camp so far, is another guy that can play nickel,
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: and I think he's probably gonna end up being your
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: guy at that spot. And once you kind of get
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: into the depth, though, I think it becomes a little
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: bit interesting. You really like the chances for your draft
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: picks to make the team just because they're draft picks.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, typically you have a lot of patience with
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: that and you have a belief in that. I really
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: like Deentre Prince, I really do. I think he's got
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: an opportunity to being a starting caliber cornerback down the
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: Road's got excellent hips, he got legitimate speed. I'm talking
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: legitimate speed, both him and Jerry and Jones. And Jerry
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: and Jones, I think is going to be the one
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: that probably plays more right away because he's playing a
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: lot of different positions. He's playing in the slot as
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: a nickel, he's playing on the outside.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: But I think he.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: He's got a great attitude, you just I mean the
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: attitude that he has on the field, the way he
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: carries himself is just you know, I think he's if
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: you're looking at him from a character standpoint, you're you're
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: feeling really good about what you got there's a confidence
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: that he's kind of been around it before. It feels like, well,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: it's really a confidence that he's been around it, but
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: also an understanding that he hasn't right. And then he's
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: still thirsty and hungry to learn and to experience more.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: And and that's really what I like about him. And
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: so and I think the more exposure experience that he gets,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: the better that he's going to be. And the reality is,
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: you know, you probably don't have to play him right away,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: you know, unless you go, unless he's your next guy
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: up when you go to dime. I think, like I
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: said before, Nickel, I really believe that Darnell Savage is
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: going to be your Nickel. So it'll be interesting to
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: see how it plays out. But then once you get
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: past your draft picks, Okay, who's next Monteric Brown?
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Or is it Trey Flowers over Warria? I mean, you know,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: is he going to have five safeties or you know,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: five corners or six corners? How is that number gonna be?
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: That's always interesting to me. And then yeah, I mean
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: certain traits on guys too, I mean trade Flowers is
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: they're long long as can be? Right, So yeah, twenty
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: seven and for people you know, thirty seven and twenty seven,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: and I mentioned them as numbers because they're very similar
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: in the measurables. You okay, and thirty seven is tray Flowers.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: He's six three to two oh three. That's a long corner. Okay,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: O six two two o five, another long corner. These
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: guys get to get their hands on you. It's it's
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: tough for receivers to kind of get out of out
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: of their own way after that point. And those two
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: guys I think got a legitimate chance to fight for
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: a roster spot. The ones that don't make the roster spot.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Corner is always a position that is well fortified in
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: the practice squad and always will be just because you're
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: trying to develop guys and you need insurance at that position.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: That's a you know, if you look at it from
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: a roster standpoint, behind offensive lineman, if you consider defensive
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: ends and defensive tackle separate, that's the one position group
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: that carries the most bodies.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: Let's come back and hear from Cooper Hodges.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: The young offensive lineman coming off a knee injury last
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: year sidelined him for the whole season, but he's out
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: there and he's playing well so far in training camp.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: That's next a little later. Coordinators, they were both on
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: the field last week. Where will they be this week?
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: That's coming up as part of the Doug Peterson Show
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: on the Jaguars Radio Network.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: Though I did some good things. You watched the one
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: on one pass rush. I thought we did good there.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: You know, Vita Veya is a big, strong, powerful human being,
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: and you know, but that's that's good for us. It's
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: good for Mitch and and the guys to go against him.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: I thought we thought we did some good things. Now
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: it's a it's a unique scheme. You know, we haven't
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: seen it for a year. Obviously, it's the same one
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: that we had here, and so some of the pressure
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: and again we're not go understand too. We're not game
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: planning or scheme in anything. It's just what we're going
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: against and kind of using our rules. But not overall,
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: they did they did some good things.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Doug Peterson earlier today when asked about the offensive line
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: play in day one of joint practices against the Bucks,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: and this is the Doug Peterson show presented by Fresh
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: from Florida J P. Shatwick with Jeff Logoman and Yeah Feicky. Yeah,
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: the Vita Vea stands out in the crowd and in
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: a game filled with large human beings, he's right there
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: near the biggest on the field. They list him at
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: six foot four three and forty seven pounds, and I
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: don't have any reason to believe that that's not accurate.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: But imagine if vidavea or to lose. Just looking at
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: him out there on the field, right you see those tackles,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: got a little bit of the extra this right here,
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: you know, that midsection stuff. Imagine if he kind of
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: got rid of some of that and then was able
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: to play instead of you know, he's probably been in
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: the thirty five to forty five snap range. Imagine he
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: could bump it up to fifty to sixty and then
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: really give you, you know, fifty to sixty really good snaps.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Imagine what type of a player that he would be
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: then scary, Yeah, I mean scary, and what Doug's talking about.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: It was good for us because he's one of the
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: strongest human beings in the National Football League. I mean,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: so Mitch Morrison, every other offensive line that has to
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: block this dude. I mean you talk about wanting to
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: drop the anchor. You want to drop the anchor against
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: this cat Sheriff and Ezra Cleveland and whoever he's lined up. Yeah,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: I mean even good for like Luke Fortner. I don't
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: know if he got many reps against him, probably not,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: but I mean that's a big dude. That's a probably
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: a handful for Cooper Hodges as well, who I caught
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: up with after a practice in fact, after that first
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: practice against the Buccaneers yesterday, and it's his second year,
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: but he missed his first year with the knee injury.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: He's coming back. He discussed the toughest part of his
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: recovery from that last year injury, and much more for me.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: Because it was I was having really good camp. It
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: was you know, I was thinking about it this way,
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: drafted hometown to my hometime team team I grew up going.
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: I was peaked and then that happened, and Uh, for me,
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: it was all it's more mental than anything. You have
• 24:37
  Speaker 5: to be able to just lock in and just develop
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: without being on the field. It's really you know, it's
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: kind of sounds crazy, but you got to get better
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: without being able to play. And you do that, you know,
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: through your your film study, your group study, just being
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: around getting the chemistry or under understanding the actual concept
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: of every play. And that's really what I tried to
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: dial into while I was dealing with this injury.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: And then you get back on the field and you
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: feel almost a up ahead since you've been in the
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: classroom so much and not able to do anything. So
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: once you step back on the field, how long did
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: it take to feel right again physically?
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: Luckily it was I got a We did a lot
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: of stuff here in OTAs, and so once I got through,
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: you know, I'd say once we started the third phase
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: of OTAs, I was feeling really good, you know, and
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: I felt where I should be, you know, where I
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: was where I needed to be, and yeah, I just
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: felt It took me probably, i'd say a month two
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: months after I was fully clear to just feel like
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: myself again, you know. But it was a long process.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: But I'm just glad I'm back, you know.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: So Cooper Hyde is with US Jaguars Guard. Your performance
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: in pre season Week one, What did you take out
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: of that game and where can you build upon that now?
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: This week? Going into Tampa Bank.
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, so, I mean that was that was my
• 25:46
  Speaker 5: first game in ever Bank. So it was huge for me.
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: A lot of emotions, a lot of feelings. I think
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: it was I think I played, you know, for me,
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: the biggest thing, I was like, I want to be
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: I want to get be fast off the ball. I
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: don't play extremely hard, and I definitely feel like I've
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: got those things done for now. It's just cleaning up
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: the little things and just just growing every week, week
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: by week, practice by practice.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: You got a bunch of veteran guys on this line.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, dudes that have played a lot of football.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: Much more is just luck by us a second ago.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, how much do you lean on those guys now?
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: You've been around it for almost going into the year
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: two now, But to have that type of knowledge, guys
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: that can lean on, how have they helped you kind.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Of move along?
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: I mean they're extremely I mean essential to how I've developed.
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: I mean these guys, they I mean, they just they
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: have coaching points on almost every rep. And for me,
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: it's being able to be What makes a really good
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: office line, in my opinion, is consistency and what they're
• 26:41
  Speaker 5: helping me do is be the most consistent player I
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: can beat. And their advice, their help, their tips are
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: extremely appreciating. They're just helpful. I mean they know what
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: they're talking about. They played I think we did it.
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: I can't remember how many games it was. We counted
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: up how many games Mitch, Brandon and Chatley have played
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: and it was an absurd number. So there's a lot
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: of knowledge in that room just by those three people,
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: you know, so it's huge.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken, you've done a little cross training,
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: maybe at center, taking some snaps there. I don't know
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: how much you've done, But what's the challenge there. I mean,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: you played tackle in college. Now all of a sudden,
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: you're all across the line.
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: I think for me, a center's a mental a mental game.
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: You know, it's you're you're calling out the IDs, you're
• 27:19
  Speaker 5: underdoing the protection, so you kind of have to understand
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: every position. But like I said, diving into the concepts
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: and understanding what's going on really helped me be able
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: to take the step inside to center. And then once
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: you figure out how to snap and step at the
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: same time, it's his gold from there. So just I
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: think he just adds another tool to the toolbox, you know,
• 27:38
  Speaker 5: being able to play wherever they need me. However, I
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: can be there and let's just be as available as possible.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: That is Cooper Hodge is a great conversation with a
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: guy who grew up just outside of Jacksonville and a
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: Jaguars fan. He also told me later that I asked
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: him what was his favorite Jaguars memory as a fan.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: He's like, probably that twenty seventeen playoff team. I'm like,
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: you know what, Yeah, we were in high school then,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: that's how long.
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: Ago that was.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: But he that's a memorable team for him, and Lake
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Portles and Jalen Ramsey and that defense and the whole thing.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: But getting to run out of the tunnel last week
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: for the first time. By the way, I know you're
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: looking it up right now, I beat you to it.
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: The number of games played by those three guys, I
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: would say, well over three hundred. Oh yes, well, well,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: well not over four hundred, though close to it. Yeah,
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: shat you're talking about Sheriff Morse and Shatley games played.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Let me guess. Okay, I'm gonna go with because I
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: didn't get Shatley.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Okay, Like you just.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Wrote him down. I didn't know if you Yeah, I'm
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: gonna say Shatley's probably I'm gonna say three.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: What fifty games played? Oh? Games played?
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Games played?
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: What did you think I was talking about? Hold on,
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: houndh what did you think we were talking about?
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Well, it's games played, So I'm thinking, now, hold on, no,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: what do you got? There were sixteen games in a season,
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: and this is what eleventh year, eleventh year four for Shatley
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: or whatever. No, well, Shatley is in year eleven. Yes,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: I mean you were an economics major. You should know
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: math pretty good. Yeah, I know math eleven years. Three
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: hundred No, no, no, no, I'm saying combined three hundred. I'm
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: saying the combined number of regular season games of share hundreds.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Shatlee okay, and Sheriff is three hundred and seventy. Talking
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: about Yeah, it's in that ballpark. Shatley won forty five. Okay,
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: that's more than I thought. Morse won twenty six. Shatley
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: has more than both of those two guys. Sheriff won
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: twenty three. That's that's interesting. I would not have thought
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: has had some injury stuff. Sheriff had some injury.
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: See, I was off because I'm I'm thinking with Shatley
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: that he hasn't started as many games, and so I
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: knocked him below Morse and Sheriff. And that was not
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: what the right thing to do, because he's played in
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: a lot of games. Even though he didn't start a
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: lot of games. Now, starts would be a different thing.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: Oh much different thing. Yes, yes, So take my handy
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: downy calculator. The grand total is three hundred and ninety four. Okay,
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: it's a lot of games, so start. I mean, I'm
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: just curious for starts here. Mitch Morris has three hundred
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: or excuse me, not three hundred the number of starts
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: he has, or one hundred and twenty six of every
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: game he's playing he started, and same for Shriff, Same
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: for Shriff. Yeah, and Shatley would be a different story.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: That's the one that would drop a lot.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Of special teams significantly.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Backup rotational player's right, So pull him up. Yeah, I
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: mean Shatley has played, as we said, in one hundred
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: and forty five games, fifty one starts fifty one. Yeah, okay,
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: that's that's where I got my number kind of skewed.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Was I was thinking more of the playtime start could Coop?
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, how did he play last week? Cooper Hodges?
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: I thought he was the best grated offensive lineman in
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: the game. And that's looking at both both teams from
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: that standpoint, and City and Jacksonville. I thought he played
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: extremely well. He played multiple positions, both the right side
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: and the left side. You could tell that he's a
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: little more comfortable on the right side than on the
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: left side. And having a conversation with him, he said
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: that he is. And again he's never played the left
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: side up until that game the other night. But I look,
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: I now, there's two ways to look at this. Number
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: One is like, Okay, let's continue to develop him because
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: you know, you got a ten year guy in Brandon Sheriff,
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: you know. And then if another way to think of
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: it is, you know, hey, let him compete, you know,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: let him compete. But I'm talking compete now, do you
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing, JP, Yeah, Let's say you go to
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: Atlanta for the last preseason game. Okay, you'd like to
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: build some continuity with your offensive line, right, and that's great,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: but do you consider playing some guys that are different
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: for that game, Like maybe let's say put let's say
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Cooper plays well this game here coming up against the Bucks,
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: because you know he's gonna play a lot, And you
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: go into Atlanta and say, you know what, we know
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: what Brandon Sheriff can do. We don't need to see
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: him in a preseason game. The only reason you're playing
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: him is just to maybe build some continuity and that
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: feeling of playing together with your five offensive lineman, which
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: is very important. But from a personnel standpoint, you know
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: what he is, right, And I'm not saying it's good,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: batter and different. I'm just saying, you know what he is.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: He's been consistently good his whole career. Why not play
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Cooper Hodge is to let him get the reps to
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: get more experience under his belt. Why not play Walker
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Little at left tackle? I mean, you know what Cam is, Okay,
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: let Walker Little get some reps at left tackle, let
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: him compete. You know, I think it would be invaluable.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: But I don't know what they're gonna do. I'm just
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: throwing something out there that would be a different way
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: of thinking. Then, Oh, let's just gain some continuity for
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: our five offensive linemen so that they hit the regular
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: season they've been working together and they can feel what
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: the other guy's doing without talking about it. You know
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: that kind of stuff.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that idea.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: Play the guys you don't know about. And I'm not
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: saying that you sit everybody out, but I'm saying certain
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: guys like Brandon Sheriff and like Mitch Morse, you know
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: what they are, let's come back coordinators. Where were they
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: last week? How did it work out? We'll find out
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: in a moment. It's the Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: He's been doing a really nice job, you know, and
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: it showed up, you know, a couple of plays in
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: the game last week, and then you know this week
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: in practice, and he continues to grow. And I'm just
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: I and Trevor keep keep talking and working and then
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: that's what's going to take you know, not going to
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: be a finished product right away, but he continues to
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: improve and and just you know, learn with the offense,
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: grow with the offense. But he's been doing.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Really good job that he that Doug Peterson referred to
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: as Brian Thomas Junior, and welcome back to the Doug
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Peterson Show.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Presented by Fresh from Florida.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: We're on the Jaguars Radio Network, presented by US number
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: one University and the us DUS and World Reports number
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: one state for education. So BTJ Brian Thomas Junior. Is
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: that where we're calling him now? I just I don't
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: know if we are. I keep hearing people use that
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: term BTJ. Brian Thomas, Brian Thomas J. I'm not a
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: big fan of the acronym thing. No, no, are you.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: An acronym police. I didn't realize, Like, oh b J,
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: I didn't know. I had to ask permission to you know.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: Shordell's Beckham Junior. That's okay, OBJJ OBJ Yeah, but you
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: got you know, you gotta it's too early for that.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: You gotta like earn it or no, it's just too
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: early for that. Let's just stick with Brian Thomas Junior.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: By the way, man, can he fly? He had a
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: couple of great plays today. Uh and they hit him
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: on a couple of deep balls today. That was nice
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: to see. I think I think there's a there's a
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: lot of learning going on with Brian Thomas Junior. And
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: when I say a lot of learning going on from
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: the standpoint of the quarterback. The coaches are learning to
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: see what he really can do, you know, because I mean,
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: he got a young player that comes in and he's
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: a little bit slow to unleash some of his physical
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: talents because he's trying to figure everything out. Well, the
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: one thing that he can do that we're starting to
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: see that because he's getting confident in the system and
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: understanding what they're asking of him. He can run, and
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: I mean he can run. There was a play yesterday
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: in Pads to where I was literally yelling, not yelling,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: but I was just to myself kind of I was
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: going to throw it, Trevor, throw it, throw it, throw
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: it through it. And it was the deep ball that
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: they would have blown it dead as a sack. But
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: Brian was three four yards away from the defender. But
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: you could just tell that there was no way the
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: defender was going to keep up.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: But Trevor was.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Still Okay, I need to see him get past him first.
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: But if you were kind of from my perspective, which
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: was at the side, you're seeing that the rate of
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: speed that he was carrying was going to blow him
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: past the defensive back in no time. So I think
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: there's a level of understanding with Trevor and also the
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: coordinators said, hey, look when he's four yards away from
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: the defender, unleash it because his speed, that's he's already,
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: but he's gonna be behind him. Trust that he's gonna
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: get behind him because the rate of speed that he's carrying.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: When's when's the last time we've seen somebody run like that?
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: Here? You know, Justin Blackman had a little of that.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Justin was that Justin was at best of four to
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: six Justin for real, Justin Blackman was.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: He got moving, he could he could run.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: He was a four to six guy. Okay, I mean
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: we're talking about a four four sub four four guy
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: that when he's got the pads on, he doesn't get slower,
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: he might get faster. Didn't have that, ab didn't have that. Okay,
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: here's another question, another way to ask him.
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: Think earlier years.
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: When's the last time the Jaguars had a legitimate I'm
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: talking a legitimate consistent deep threat game in and game out.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: Jimmy Smith?
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Right, that's I mean, really, and I'm not I'm not
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: trying to compare him to Jimmy Smith. I'm just saying,
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: is that there hasn't been a guy that could just
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: blow the doors off of single coverage on a moment's notice.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: You know, Look, it's hard to find guys that have
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: that speed. I mean, that's one of the reasons why
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: they they wanted Brian Thomas Junior. He can take the
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: top off of a defense in no time. We're back
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: in a moment. Coordinators, where were they last week? Press
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Taylor's response to that this week? How did it go?
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: Well, we'll discuss it when we come back.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: This is the Doug Peterson Show and the Jaguars Radio Network.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: And I think there's some really good battles going on
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: the defensive line, offensive line as well, you know, with
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: some of the young guys that are emerging, and it's
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: not again you want him to make your fifty three,
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: but you also would love to give him back on
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: practice squad if possible. So there's always that fine line.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: I think the secondary, as we mentioned another one another spot,
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: it's just good. It's good and bad, you know, because
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: there's a potential of losing good football players. But if
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: you lose good players, that means you've got good players
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: already on your roster, so.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: Head coach Doug Peterson earlier today and some bubble positions
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: cuts coming in a couple of weeks. Welcome Back Doug
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: Peterson Show presented by Fresh from Florida. The full press
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: conference from head coach Doug Peterson available at Jaguars dot
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: com and Jaguars YouTube.
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: All Right.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Last week, Ryan Nielsen ended up being on the sideline
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: defensive coordinator for the Jaguars. Doug Peterson was asked going
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: into the game, where is he up or down?
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: He's like, I don't know.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: Well, he was asked by you would he be in
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: the press box or in the coach's booth or would
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: he be on the sideline to be the defensive coordinator
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: calling the signals, etc. And I thought the answer was
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: incredibly revealing, even though there really wasn't an answer, and
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: that Doug paused for a second and then said, you know,
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know, And he said, hmm, that's a good question.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: I have to get back to you. That said so
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: much to me. It spoke volumes. And here's why when
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: the head coach, who's an offensive minded head coach is
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: not worried at all about the defensive side of the ball.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: That's a really good thing. I'm talking he's not worried
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: about that side of the ball of all. You could
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: tell that with his answer. He was saying indirectly, I
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: don't know, I'm not worried about it. I completely trust
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: whatever he decided, whatever they're going to do over there,
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: because I trust them. And as a head coach, that's
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: incredibly important because it allows you to focus on the
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: big thing, which is being the head coach game management
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: on game day, and then also contributing what your skill
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: set is where it's at, which is on the offensive
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: side of the ball, and that's having an influence on
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: what kind of plays are called, and also talking to
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: the players on the offensive side of the ball. Meanwhile,
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: in that same answer, he also volunteered the information that
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: Press Taylor would be on the sideline, which is different.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: It's much different than Press later said, you know, yeah,
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: it's a different perspective. You can see players eye to eye,
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: you get that instant you know, feedback and all that
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: that goes with it. Yeah, and it's great because, I mean,
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: for an offensive coordinator, you can you can interact with
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: the players, you can coach them up on the sideline.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: You can feel their pulse where they're at. You know,
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: you hear this saying all the time, it's not about
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: the x's and o's, but it's about the Jimmies and
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: the Joe's. Well, you're talking to Jimmy and Joe if
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: you're on the sideline, Okay, if you're upstairs, it's only
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: about the x's and no's. The one thing that I
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: will say, though, is the benefit of being in the
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: booth is that it detaches you from the emotion of
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: the game. So you're trying to create the most strategic
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: advantage that you have, and in some respects on the
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: sideline sometimes you react to the emotion of being on
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: the sideline. And also you may end up not seeing
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: certain things on the opponent. Hey, so and so got
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: hurt on that play with the opponent, so hey, let's
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: go after him over there. We're on the sideline. You
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: may not see that. So I don't know who Press
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: has in the booth right now that he trusts. But
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: you got to have somebody that can be your eye
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: and the sky that you trust at a high level.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: Just went through the entire roster. We have no Jimmy's
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: or Joe's on the roster. Really none of the enemy.
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: I'm looking look to the whole thing. How about that?
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Is that not crazy? We're back at a moment to close
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: up shop for the week, and this is The Peterson
