Speaker 1: all of those places only us a comment and a
0:38
Speaker 1: five star rating. Let's start with head coach Doug Peterson.
0:42
Speaker 1: He met the media before Tuesday's opening practice of the
0:45
Speaker 1: second week of organized team activities, and he was asked
0:48
Speaker 1: about the turnover of the team and much more. How unusual, listener,
0:54
Speaker 1: something happens a lot to slip over, like an entire
0:58
Speaker 1: side of the ball in terms of starters, and just
1:01
Speaker 1: you know, the one thing that I've learned, I think
1:04
Speaker 1: in this business, in this league is that um, you know,
1:07
Speaker 1: every year, uh, I don't want to say you flip it,
1:11
Speaker 1: but you're definitely gonna bring in some new new faces. Um.
1:15
Speaker 1: It's just the way the game is evolved over the
1:18
Speaker 1: years with free agency and trades and different things, and
1:21
Speaker 1: you know it's a you know, it's just it's a
1:24
Speaker 1: part of it, um. And you know, there there's there's
1:28
Speaker 1: certain things as you evaluate, you know, as a staff,
1:31
Speaker 1: as a personnel staff, coaching staff that you know, um
1:35
Speaker 1: that that you may want to may want to switch out,
1:38
Speaker 1: you know, and and a lot of times too it's
1:40
Speaker 1: it's it's out of our control, right, I mean, you know,
1:44
Speaker 1: with the the u f A S, the r f
1:47
Speaker 1: A s, the different things that you know, players um,
1:52
Speaker 1: you know are are provided to be able to move
1:54
Speaker 1: around and really attest the waters. You know, some of
1:58
Speaker 1: it's out of our control. But I do think it's
2:01
Speaker 1: good too and healthy that you can you know, flip
2:03
Speaker 1: out your roster a little bit and kind of trade
2:05
Speaker 1: some guys out and and really bringing a kind of
2:08
Speaker 1: an influx of of of new blood so to speak
2:10
Speaker 1: into your you know, int your locker room. Do you
2:12
Speaker 1: think the defense has a has a chance to be
2:14
Speaker 1: pretty good? Giving it every position to three round pick
2:19
Speaker 1: or a high price free Yeah, yeah, I love it.
2:33
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it. Everybody was feeling it.
2:37
Speaker 1: Everybody was feeling it. No, it's great, it's great. I'll say,
2:41
Speaker 1: I'll say that's right. I know, I believe, I know,
2:44
Speaker 1: I know, I know. I'll say this. And there's there's
2:47
Speaker 1: thirty two teams obviously that really think this time of
2:50
Speaker 1: year that that everybody has has a chance. I'll just
2:53
Speaker 1: I'll just start there. Um, I do like I do
2:56
Speaker 1: like the youth on this roster. Um. You know, obviously
3:00
Speaker 1: the draft picks are are fitting are fitting in nicely
3:03
Speaker 1: right now, some of the you know, the undrafted guys.
3:06
Speaker 1: But um, there there's enough veteran leadership on that football
3:11
Speaker 1: team on that side of the ball, on defense that
3:14
Speaker 1: has really embraced everything that we're doing. Um, I'm encouraged
3:18
Speaker 1: by that obviously as the coach, and I know the
3:20
Speaker 1: defensive staff is encouraged by that. And and again it's uh,
3:25
Speaker 1: it's gonna be exciting. I think once camp and you know,
3:27
Speaker 1: we start putting pads on and really kind of the
3:31
Speaker 1: banging and start playing games. I think having the extra
3:34
Speaker 1: preseason game is going to help us to evaluate some
3:37
Speaker 1: of that. And um, just looking forward to you know
3:40
Speaker 1: where we are as a defense as we move forward.
3:42
Speaker 1: The full Doug Peterson press conference available now on Jaguars
3:45
Speaker 1: dot Com or the Jaguars social media channels. NFL Network
3:49
Speaker 1: analyst Bucky Brooks flew across the country this week to
3:53
Speaker 1: catch a couple of Jaguars practices, and he joined us
3:55
Speaker 1: in person for the Huddle Up Podcast this week. It
3:58
Speaker 1: ran on Tuesday afternoon after practice. Like the number one
4:01
Speaker 1: thing that you're looking for when you go to these practices,
4:03
Speaker 1: you can't really evaluate the physicality, You can't really evaluate
4:06
Speaker 1: some of the toughness part of the game. But what
4:09
Speaker 1: you can evaluate is who knows exactly what they're doing,
4:12
Speaker 1: who can exhibit the kind of effort that you want
4:15
Speaker 1: to see. Are the guys paying attention to the details
4:18
Speaker 1: that have been expressed in the classroom, meaning they understand
4:21
Speaker 1: what they're being asked to do, they understand why they're
4:23
Speaker 1: doing it, and then they go and do it on
4:26
Speaker 1: the grass. And I think we could see some of that,
4:28
Speaker 1: and so for me, a lot of it was the
4:31
Speaker 1: organization of practice. Does this team look organized dually, look
4:34
Speaker 1: like they're paying attention to detail. Do they look like
4:38
Speaker 1: a team that can play and play good football? Yes,
4:40
Speaker 1: they do look like a team that can play is
4:42
Speaker 1: good football, and that is a huge step in the
4:45
Speaker 1: right direction when we think about the way this team
4:47
Speaker 1: has played in the past few years. Some highlight guys
4:50
Speaker 1: to me today. You know, I always hesitate to highlight
4:54
Speaker 1: guys during this time of year. But Christian Kirk looks fast,
4:59
Speaker 1: Evening Room looks fast. Dan Arnold looks like a player
5:03
Speaker 1: that Bucky's talking about, like he knows where he's supposed
5:06
Speaker 1: to be. That's because he had a nice play down
5:09
Speaker 1: the scene. If he hadn't had a nice play down
5:10
Speaker 1: the scene that I'm talking about, Dan Arnold, probably not.
5:13
Speaker 1: But overall, I here with Bucky, there the starters who
5:18
Speaker 1: all three of those guys, I would assume we're gonna
5:20
Speaker 1: play key, key roles, maybe the three key roles in
5:23
Speaker 1: this offense. They all look like they're on the same
5:26
Speaker 1: page as Trevor Lawrence. I'm kind of Bucky. You know,
5:30
Speaker 1: you're not surprised to see that, but you're glad to
5:33
Speaker 1: see that as opposed to not seeing what Bucky's talking about.
5:37
Speaker 1: The as we talked about the last three or four weeks,
5:40
Speaker 1: it only really happens this time of year is if
5:42
Speaker 1: you're not seeing certain things you're really concerned. So far,
5:46
Speaker 1: I think you're seeing what you want to see out
5:48
Speaker 1: of this team. I think offensively, and to make it
5:51
Speaker 1: I think we should break it up offense and defense.
5:53
Speaker 1: So I would say offensively. The first thing, your eyes
5:55
Speaker 1: go right naturally to the quarterback, Trevor Lawrences. First time
5:57
Speaker 1: I've seen Trevor throw since the end of the season,
6:00
Speaker 1: and so and watching him what you want to see
6:03
Speaker 1: from elite quarterbacks. One, when they're throwing, the ball doesn't
6:05
Speaker 1: hit the ground. The ball doesn't hit the ground because
6:07
Speaker 1: there's a level of execution and consistency between thrower and catcher.
6:12
Speaker 1: It's easy. The ball doesn't hit the ground, it looks like, um,
6:16
Speaker 1: they're in rhythment and sink. And I saw that today.
6:19
Speaker 1: I saw what I would deem to be a high
6:21
Speaker 1: level set of execution up practices and what they're being
6:24
Speaker 1: asked to do. From Trevor. I wanted to see the
6:27
Speaker 1: ball in the strike zone consistently. When we talk about
6:29
Speaker 1: the strike zone, the strike zone is torso ball ways
6:34
Speaker 1: to hire inside the window. The receivers are not having
6:36
Speaker 1: to work a lot to make catches, and we're seeing
6:39
Speaker 1: that Trevor launch is very accurate. We're seeing the ball
6:41
Speaker 1: come out with plenty of pace and those things. And
6:43
Speaker 1: then the final part of it is when you transition
6:46
Speaker 1: from doing individual to group stuff to then competing against
6:50
Speaker 1: the team. Does Trevor know where to go with the
6:53
Speaker 1: ball and doesn't know how to do it in a
6:55
Speaker 1: timing fashion? I think we saw that even when they
6:57
Speaker 1: ramped it up in seven or seven and nine on
6:59
Speaker 1: seven things against the defense, he looked like he had
7:01
Speaker 1: a pretty clear idea where to go. For a young
7:04
Speaker 1: quarterback entering in his second year, those are the things
7:07
Speaker 1: that you want to see, and I think he is
7:09
Speaker 1: trending in the right direction. Catch it on Jaguars dot

9:23
Speaker 1: the people here, UM, the coaching staff, the players, a
9:26
Speaker 1: locker room is amazing. Um. It's been a very um,
9:29
Speaker 1: smooth and fun and very motivating adjustment as well. So
9:33
Speaker 1: I'm enjoining my time here. We're getting in a lot
9:35
Speaker 1: of work, um, and a lot of guys are motivated
9:38
Speaker 1: and um, that's that's really refreshing to be around. And um,
9:41
Speaker 1: it's it's helping me continue to better my craft each
9:43
Speaker 1: and every day as well. We talked a little bit
9:46
Speaker 1: before the podcast started. Uh, New York media can be
9:50
Speaker 1: a strange thing, um, and the New York market can
9:54
Speaker 1: be a different place. You talked to players who have
9:56
Speaker 1: played it. Um, some guys embrace and some guys don't
10:00
Speaker 1: love it that much. Was it a good thing for
10:02
Speaker 1: you to get a fresh start? Was that appealing about
10:05
Speaker 1: free agency to you? Um? Definitely. Uh, you know I
10:08
Speaker 1: had the last five years in New York was or
10:10
Speaker 1: a blessing? Oh yeah. I grew up a lot, um,
10:14
Speaker 1: and uh learned a lot. Like you said, grew up
10:17
Speaker 1: a lot, and I met a lot of amazing people
10:19
Speaker 1: and and and gained a lot of amazing relationships. So UM,
10:23
Speaker 1: I wouldn't I wouldn't change anything. But you know coming
10:26
Speaker 1: down here, um, the Florida Sun um, and then just
10:29
Speaker 1: the just the people in this building. I can't say
10:32
Speaker 1: enough how great they've been, from from the coaching staff
10:35
Speaker 1: all the way down to the custodians. Um, it's been amazing.
10:37
Speaker 1: So um. And I'm really looking forward to you know,
10:41
Speaker 1: building the relationships here as well, UM and putting a
10:44
Speaker 1: good product on the field and keeping everybody excited fascinated by.
10:48
Speaker 1: As a free agent, you have to sign a one
10:51
Speaker 1: year deal, which is basically saying I'm gonna gamble on myself.
10:55
Speaker 1: I believe in my ability and I believe I can
10:58
Speaker 1: do more than I've done so far. Uh was that
11:01
Speaker 1: your approach? And tell me about the details that went
11:03
Speaker 1: into that of saying, Hey, I want to do this
11:05
Speaker 1: for a year and then see what my market value
11:07
Speaker 1: is next. Yeah, definitely. Um, you know the fridge, See,
11:10
Speaker 1: it was it was my first time and it was
11:12
Speaker 1: it was a wild experience. Um yeah, it's it was.
11:16
Speaker 1: It was a lot of adjusting and a lot of
11:19
Speaker 1: trying not to think that much. But um, like I said,
11:22
Speaker 1: it's it's been a blessing and everything happens for a reason,
11:24
Speaker 1: and I think I'm here for a reason, and um,
11:27
Speaker 1: the one year deal is definitely it's a it's a
11:29
Speaker 1: bet bet on myself. Um man. I just I saw
11:32
Speaker 1: the situation. I saw Doug and the staff he put
11:35
Speaker 1: together and the history he's had with tight ends and
11:38
Speaker 1: um type of tight ends like myself, have been really
11:41
Speaker 1: successful in his systems. And I'm getting to know him
11:44
Speaker 1: more and getting to know his philosophies and even getting
11:46
Speaker 1: in the offense. UM, I couldn't be any more happier
11:49
Speaker 1: with my decision. And like I said, just the people
11:52
Speaker 1: that are here, UM, in the in the locker room. UM,
11:54
Speaker 1: it's a great um attitude and a great environment for
11:58
Speaker 1: me to come in and continue to work a single day,
12:00
Speaker 1: improved myself each and every day. I'm in. All the
12:02
Speaker 1: work we're putting in, all the work on putting in,
12:04
Speaker 1: UM is gonna show up on Sundays. It's interesting you
12:07
Speaker 1: brought up Doug and that was a thing you hit
12:10
Speaker 1: on when you first signed at your into a press conference,
12:14
Speaker 1: and I'm curious you brought it up again today. That's
12:16
Speaker 1: a big deal to you him being here. Did you
12:20
Speaker 1: watch his offenses in Philadelphia from across the field and say, hey,
12:23
Speaker 1: I like that. How much is that a factor for you?
12:28
Speaker 1: It was huge. I mean the Eagles were in the
12:30
Speaker 1: division for four of the years UM I was there. Man,
12:35
Speaker 1: I definitely see a lot of myself and the guy
12:37
Speaker 1: like zach Ertz. Um. You know he's UM. He's a
12:39
Speaker 1: physical and strong guy, but UM, he's definitely a more
12:42
Speaker 1: receiving tight end and UM just the way he was used,
12:45
Speaker 1: the way he was moving moving around on the field. Um,
12:48
Speaker 1: the relationships I can see across the further relationships he
12:51
Speaker 1: had was quarterback. UM, and just Trevor being here as well,
12:55
Speaker 1: and UM seeing Doug over the years, and obviously Zack's
12:59
Speaker 1: numbers UM through duck stint there were record breaking. So UM,
13:04
Speaker 1: I definitely saw that as a huge opportunity and UM
13:08
Speaker 1: and uh that that went, that was a big factor
13:11
Speaker 1: in my decision. And UM, so far it's it's looking
13:14
Speaker 1: looking really well. The full ozone podcast available now on
13:17
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com and the Official Jaguars Podcast Network. Let's
13:21
Speaker 1: wrap this week with Jaguars Happy Our Radio. Thursday afternoon,
13:25
Speaker 1: new wide receiver Christian Kirk sat in with us and
13:28
Speaker 1: explained what the Jaguars receivers must know and the Jags
13:32
Speaker 1: offense and plenty more. How are you feeling so far? O?
13:35
Speaker 1: Tas are here? Week two? What's up? It's great? You know,
13:37
Speaker 1: like you said, it's week two, O t A s.
13:39
Speaker 1: And I was just talking about it a little bit earlier.
13:42
Speaker 1: It's it's hard not to to get into that that
13:45
Speaker 1: groove and and feel like, oh I gotta be ready.
13:47
Speaker 1: You know and and be ready to play like we
13:49
Speaker 1: have a game on Sunday and just the competitive juices
13:51
Speaker 1: are flowing and we're going against the defense, and just
13:54
Speaker 1: the important thing right now is just working through all
13:56
Speaker 1: the kinks. These are the times to make mistakes and uh,
13:59
Speaker 1: now that we're learning a new system and whatnot, you know,
14:01
Speaker 1: we're just trying to learn all the nuances and you know,
14:04
Speaker 1: get ready for training camp. I'm curious about that process
14:08
Speaker 1: of learning a new offense. We talked about the quarterbacks
14:10
Speaker 1: part of it all the time. He's got so many
14:12
Speaker 1: things to worry about line play, You guys on the outside,
14:17
Speaker 1: running back, the running get everything. But from a wide
14:19
Speaker 1: receiver's perspective, how friendly is this offense for a guy
14:23
Speaker 1: like you? And how difficult is it to to learn
14:25
Speaker 1: all the nuances of it? Yeah, it's very you know,
14:28
Speaker 1: friendly for a receiver and you know, all of us
14:31
Speaker 1: as weapons because it allows us to be all interchangeable,
14:35
Speaker 1: and you know, it challenges you to know every position
14:37
Speaker 1: on the field. And the more you know, the more
14:40
Speaker 1: opportunities you get to be in different spots to go
14:42
Speaker 1: out and make plays. And uh, Coach Peterson and you
14:45
Speaker 1: know Press have done a great job of you know,
14:47
Speaker 1: making this offense uh, you know, fairly easy to learn,
14:51
Speaker 1: and the transition has been you know, very fairly simple.
14:54
Speaker 1: And you know we get a lot of time during
14:55
Speaker 1: O T A S you know, in the classroom man
14:57
Speaker 1: on the field, So uh, they don't just throw it
14:59
Speaker 1: all that you and tell you to learn it. Uh.
15:01
Speaker 1: They do a good job facilitating, you know, being able
15:05
Speaker 1: to to get through and get some reps and and
15:07
Speaker 1: just learning all the things that they want to accomplish.
15:09
Speaker 1: When you hear Trevor Lawrence talking through the offense and
15:12
Speaker 1: those different things you guys install over time, I'm guessing
15:16
Speaker 1: it comes out pretty clear from him that he knows
15:18
Speaker 1: what's up on this offense. Yeah, and you know he
15:20
Speaker 1: does a great job in meetings, um, you know kind
15:23
Speaker 1: of adding you know what he's thinking on a certain
15:26
Speaker 1: play or you know, what he's expecting in certain expectations
15:29
Speaker 1: you know for us, and it keeps that open line
15:31
Speaker 1: of you know, communication and everything's transparent. So uh, you
15:34
Speaker 1: know he's done a great job in that aspect. Christian
15:36
Speaker 1: Kirk is with US Jaguars wide Receiver here on Jaguar's
15:39
Speaker 1: Happy Hour. You know there's a lot of new faces
15:41
Speaker 1: around here. You're one of them. Here's a Jones coming in,
15:45
Speaker 1: got a couple of Vets in that room, and Marvin
15:48
Speaker 1: Jones has been in the league forever. It feels like, um,
15:51
Speaker 1: how difficult is it or is it at all to
15:54
Speaker 1: to get that camaraderie? Is that overplayed? Is that overhyped?
15:57
Speaker 1: Sometimes that oh they gotta get time to get there
16:00
