• 0:35
  Speaker 1: star rating. Let's begin with the best of the press
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: conferences and locker rooms sound this week, starting with head
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: coach Doug Peterson Wednesday, every quarterback, every NFL quarterback, head
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: coach is going to go through um adversity scrutiny. Everything's
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: under a microscope, um, you know, and and it's just
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: it's just a matter of um, you know, if you
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: want it to go away, you start, you start working
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: on it, and you work, you work on it to
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: go away. And you know that's something that I can
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: help him with. I know the staff can help him
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: with and and try to put put most of this,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: most of this behind him. And you know, that's one
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: thing and I've said this before with with Trevor too,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: is he does a nice job of sort of compartmentalizing
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: things and kind of keeping things on the back burner
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: and just focusing on you know, his job and and
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: uh improving, improving just this week and getting better. So uh,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: that's that's what we expect. That's what I expect, and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and uh, I know I know he'll do that. You know,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I think I think he Number one, you gotta be honest,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: you know, with the player, um and and that's good
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: and bad, right, and you just you're up front with him,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: and you gotta have constructive dialogue, you know, with with
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: him and with really with all your players and your team,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and and uh, I never want to be someone that
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: wants to kind of sugarcoat anything. I think we have
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: to be honest that way, even even in my performance
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: um as well. And you know, and in taking that,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I think from what I learned in Philly during that time,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: it's just just doing that, being being open and honest
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and really sometimes you gotta have tough different you know,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: tough conversations with with players, and um, you know, whether
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: it's a quarterback or not, and you know it's it's
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: we're gonna work through everything together and and that's what
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: we do. And and uh, you know, we we dig
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: ourselves out of whatever we're in and and you know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: continue to improve. If any did you have with Trent
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: prior to pulling the trigger around the Calvin Ridley trade
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and what are your thoughts about it? I mean, you know,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: trying I talk a lot about a lot of different
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: situations and and we obviously talked about this one. And
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and you know, um, listen, it's you guys have heard
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: us talk about this before. We're gonna always look to
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: add talent to this roster, you know, any any way possible,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: any shape form, and and and I feel like we've
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: done that. Now. Obviously we won't know what we have
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: until you know, the league clears him and and all
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: of that, and we understand that. But you know, at
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the same time, we feel like we're getting a really
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: good football player to to already adding to a good
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: a good room and great leaders in that room that
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: will that will embrace him when he when he finally
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: gets here. You worry about that from love and being
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: you know, being a motivation, motivating pack. I love the
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: second time I was. I mean that just that's proves
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the point. I mean, you know, Um, we had a
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: game just like that this season where where we held
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: a held a team to zero and then you know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: next thing, you know, they're over thirty points the next
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: next time we play them. So each week is different,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: and each game plan is different, and the set of
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: circumstances are different, and you you put the past in
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the past and you focus focus on the current. So, UM,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I would expect a different you know, Raider team this weekend.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Now to the quarterback Trevor Lawrence. He through two interceptions
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: in the loss of the Brown Goes in London, including
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: one on a first and goal play at the one
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: yard line in the second quarter. Lawrence Wednesday, after practice,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: you know, we talked about part of the job. You know,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: no matter who you are, you're gonna face criticism, you know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: especially when you don't feel like you're playing your best. Um,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: And that's just kind of where we're at right now.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: And you know, I don't feel like I've played my
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: best the past couple of weeks, and um, you know,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: from my standpoint, it's just every week trying to put
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the best plan together and prepare the best so I
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: can go go and play my best on Sunday. And
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: so that doesn't change this week no matter what the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: criticism is, Um, good or bad. You know. I mean,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: when we're playing well, you know, I'm gonna get too
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: much credit, and when we're when we're not playing well,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: when we're losing some games, and I'm gonna sometimes get
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: too much blame, and um, you know some sometimes though
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: it's it's warranted. You know, I know I haven't played
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: my best, so um, that's it just is what it is.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: It's part of the job. It's part of this game. Um,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: we're fortunate enough to play it. And that's just one
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: of the one of the Um, I guess, it's just
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: one of the parts of the game. So for me,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: it's it's just always been trying to blow that out.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: You know, sometimes it's easier than others, but just sticking
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to my process, what I know, preparing each week the
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: same way. UM. You know, I got a lot of
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: faith in myself and in this team, and UM yeah,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: so I just I just blocked that out and just
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: try to do my job the best I can every day,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and I can do that better, no doubt, And um,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I know I know moving forward, I will. So I
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: got a lot of confidence in that. Really you know
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: about it today? Yeah, I mean, I you know, I
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: don't know. I honestly don't know too much about him.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I've watched him and he's a he's a I mean,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: he's a great player. So obviously that's exciting moving forward
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: and uh, next season, being able to have a guy
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: like that here, and you know, I've heard some good
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: things some people that know him, Um, and you know,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: so I don't know him personally, but it's just as
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: far as what I've heard, I've heard good things and
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: heard he loves the game. And obviously you watch his tape,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: it speaks for itself. So that'll be an exciting thing,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: you know, next season to look forward to Trevor as
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: far as the red zone goes. Um, obviously you know,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: similar situation with the interceptions, the one the Texans game,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: when when that moment happens. I mean, how as much
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: as and completions other mistakes you can put you behind
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you put them behind you. You're on to the next
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: play that one in particular, How hard was it to
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: push that one's the side and go to the next play,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, it's it's definitely frustrating. Obviously you
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: make a make an critical air like that, and that
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: point in the game, you know we're up, we're up
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: seven zero, and you just you think about how would
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: that change the game if we end up scoring on
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: that drive and make it fourteen zero and really kind
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: of take the life out of their sideline and and
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: and kind of keep all the momentum. Um. I think
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: that's the most frustrating thing when you look back on
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and just how the game changes. But playing this position,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: playing I mean, just playing the sport, it's all about
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: the next play. So you know, I think that's something
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I've had to learn in my career, is how to
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: move on to the next play. Like You're gonna have
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: some bad plays. And obviously that one is just you know,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: that one's that one's not acceptable just the situation. You
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: gotta we gotta eliminate those. So I'm obviously learning my
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: lessons there and moving forward not gonna make that mistake.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: And um, so it's frustrating, But at the same time,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: you got, hey, that was in the first quarter, so
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you've got you've got three more quarters to play, UM,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: and you can't. You gotta do your best to not
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: let that affect the rest of the game. So, UM,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I don't necessarily feel like I feel like it did.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't think I or I know I
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: didn't play I didn't play a great game really from
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: that point forward. UM, But really don't necessarily think that
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: that was from that play. UM. I just think that
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: obviously some thing's happened. Didn't play my best ball, and
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: that's that's disappointing. But you know, as far as just
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: moving on, I think that's something that I've that I've
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: learned kind of the past year and a half and
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: even before that is just the importance of being able
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: to do that because you can't get that play back.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Wide receiver Christian Kirk in the locker room this week
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: discussed how things could be better in the red zone,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: making sure, you know, we keep the ball, you know,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: limiting penalties and you know another important thing for us is,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: you know, just just running the ball and being physical
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: down there and you know, capitalizing. I don't want to
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: want opportunities. So those are all things that you know,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: we said from day one, we need to be great,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: and we just haven't been able to put them all together.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: The bright spot last week on offense, running back Travis E.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: T N Jr. Who for one fifty six on the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: ground and now has four straight games with over one
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: d scrimmage yards. Just keep trusting open to the line
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: and do what they've been doing. They're doing a great
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: job getting me to the second level and I feel
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: like it's all as for now and they had to
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: just tackle the job and I just had to keep
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: trusting it and just in the film room, just keep studying,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: and uh, just keep that hunger about myself. I mean,
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: this is really my first year, so I'm I'm learning
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: weekend and week out, and uh, I feel like as
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I just keep getting up, I just keep getting more comfortable.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I feel like this is what I get paid to do.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: It why then be the best player I can be?
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: And uh that's I try to do every time I
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: step on the field. And finally, on offense, tight end
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Dan Arnold explained how the Jags locker room will stay
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: together even with a five game skid. For a lot
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: of the guys that were, you know here last year,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: we kind of got that tempering um and we hardened
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: a little bit, uh, just going through some of the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: stuff from last year, and you know, and that Colt
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: S game at the end of the year. Last year,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: it was kind of like, hey, we're just gonna come
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: out and play football. Um, you know, just not even
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: care about everything else that's going on. First, gonna go
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: out here to play football and trying and the football game.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: And that kind of has carried over from from this year,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: you know, just being in the rut that we are now,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. We have a game in front of us,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna go out and we're gonna practice as
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: hard as we can all week and then when we
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: get on the game on Sunday, we're gonna try and
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: make all the plays that we can and just get
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: after people and run the ball on them and you know,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: have success. And yeah, right now, it's just coming down
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: to those one or two plays and unfortunately, and it's
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: just not swinging our way. But that's not gonna stop
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: any of us. And I think all of us are
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: in it together, and this locker room is a very
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: tight knit group, which is it's gonna get us through
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: this entire season and after that too. I mean, it's
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: all gonna be worth it, but it's gonna be worth
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: it when we're winning games left and right. Now over
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: to the defensive side, jag Wars outside linebacker Josh Allen
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: hasn't had a sex since Week four, and he knows
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: his play could be better. I haven't absolutely not been
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: playing to the standard. Did I know I could play
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: consistently bad? I I don't feel like I've been consistently bad.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I just have make consistently making those plays that I
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: know I can make it shouldn't make at this point now,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: you know, being consistent, which is making the plays I
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: need to be made. The Jaguars secondary gave up a
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: big pass on the first play of the Broncos game
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: winning drive last week Thursday. Defensive coordinator Might called well
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: said he still has faith and Trey Herndon out wide.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: That's the plan, I think, Uh, other than one play
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: last week, you didn't hear Trey's name, and we go
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: to it and he played some really good plays, just
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: like we all did. And one place stands out, but
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: his heads up. He's confident, We're confident in him, and
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: he's gonna go back out there this weekend, continue to
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: play and finally linebacker for Yeah louik and I'm this
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: week's opponent, the Las Vegas Raiders. No, boys are good
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: and you gotta bring your a game. You gotta be
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: able to tackle twenty eight wherever they put back there,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: tight ends, good receivers, good being, coverages and tackle. That's
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: that's really the name of defense. But you gotta do it.
• 10:51

• 12:03
  Speaker 1: of those shows this week, starting with Huddle Up with
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks. Bucky Oshan and I had a conversation about
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: quarterback Trevor lawrences struggles a week ago. I have a
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: question for the Scout. Okay, when you look at Trevor
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: every email I get this week, if I get a
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: hundred of them, there's eighty of them wanted to be benched,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: which is absolutely ridiculous because it's not gonna happen, nor
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: should it. But what are you seeing? Um? I guess
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: that concerns you and the counter What do you like overall?
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Because I still like a lot about what you're seeing overall,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: But you can't not say that there's not some concerning
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: stuff right now. Yeah, just like us, we've gotta be
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: honest about what we've see and what we're we're seeing
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: from the quarterback. What I like about the quarterback first
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: and foremost, I think he's super talented. Um. I think
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: he has supreme talent. I think he has the talent
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: to be an elite quarterback in this league, from his
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: arm talent to his athleticism to the intangibles that you
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: need to have to be a franchise quarterback. Smart tough.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Um does a great job of leading his team. Uh.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: The things that you're worried about are too decision making,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: particularly done in the red zone, because that requires situational awareness,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: understanding how to live to play another down. And then
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the accuracy issues that have popped up consistently throughout his
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: time in Jacksonville. Uh, he misses a handful of throws
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: that you expected lead quarterbacks to be able to make consistently.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Now he turns around and makes them absolute dimes. Uh,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Like high end throws, high level throws that you want
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: to see from the upper echel line quarterbacks. But it's
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: a level of consistency with the ball placement that you
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: would like to see. So he can operate this offense efficiently.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: But the one thing is the situational awareness and being
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: able to know, you know what, I probably should throw
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: this one away. I need to live to fight another down.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: I need to understand where the team is at in
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: this moment and make sure I don't do anything to
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: compromise the team's opportunity to score points and to win games. Uh.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I will say this because sometimes it's overlooked in the
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: scouting process. How many close games to trup of Lawrence
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: really play in, not only in college but in high
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: school when you've won to the level that he's won.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: But if you may not have played in close games,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: you don't understand how valuable the ball is, so you
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: can be a little careless and reckless in those things.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: And so we can say, look, man, the Jaguars have
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: lost nine straight one score games, sixth straight this year.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: He's had a hand in a bunch of those with
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: his turnovers, and eventually he has to learn. But he's
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: learning on the fly and sometimes, man, you have to
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: touch the stove before you realize the hot. At some point,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: it's going to click with him that when I'm in
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: the red zone, I can't make these bad decisions because
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I'm killing our team. Hand off the stove job. Yeah, yeah,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: it's uh, that's a good one. That's a good one.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I can't even follow that. J K. Pretty good. Huddle
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: up with Bucky Brooks Wednesdays at four o'clock on the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Jaguars social media channels and Jaguars dot Com now the
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Jack's Drivetime. Wednesday, the Jaguars made a trade for Falcons
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: wide receiver Calvin Ridley, who should be ready for work
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: next season if he's reading day they buy the NFL.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: The voice of the Falcons, West Gerham, explained what he
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: could mean to the Jags offense. Plus he had a
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: hometown perspective on Trevor Lawrence West, thank you for waking
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: up with us. Good morning, Nashlyn. How are you. We
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: are doing great, Very excited about this trade and a
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: lot to talk about with this. But I think big picture, West,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: what kind of player the Jaguars getting with Calvin Ridley? Well,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: when he left the field at the front end of
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: last year, Calvin Ridley I thought was one of the
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: ten best wide receivers in the National Football League. And
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: when you go back and look at his career in Atlanta, Uh,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: you know, when he stepped away from the field a
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: year ago, he had played in less than fifty games
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: and yet was averaging almost fifteen yards or fourteen yards
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: of catch. And so I think you're getting number one,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: a relatively young wide receiver who's got some veteran presence
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: about him, which is probably a good thing. I mean,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: less than fifty games and the success he's had, it's
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: probably exactly what Doug Peterson and UH and those guys
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: were looking for. And I think he'll be a guy
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: that that Trevor can lean on early because he's gonna
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: be anxious to get back on the field after not
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: only the mental health situation but obviously the suspension this year.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: And I think he's gonna want to make an impact
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: in his new home. All right, let's talk about Cartersville's
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: favorite son and and and we should say, you know,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I think your wife has worked with Trevor's mom. They
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: know one another, they know one another, So yeah, and
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: I know Jeremy and then look he's uh, you know,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I got to meet him and you know this story.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I saw him for the first time before a sophomore
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: year in high school, so I've kind of seen the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: full legacy, if you will, of what he's done. All right,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: So are you surprised that he's making the same error
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: right the throw into the end zone that costs against
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: the Texans last week in London? Are you surprised that
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: he's not thriving yet or do you just figure that's
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: the rise of a young quarterback. And by the way,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: for folks who don't know, I mean you watched Matt
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Ryan come in as a youngster and work his way up,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: so you know, give us the view from Cartersville on Lawrence. Well,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: obviously there are a lot of sixteen jerseys running around
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: up here in Falcon Territory. Still, by the way, um,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: I think the I think the stuff he's going through
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: now is what you would have gone through in a
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: typical rookie year, had he had a typical rookie year. Um.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: And I'm not trying to write off the bad chapters
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: of what's happened in Jacksonville the last you know year
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: and a half or so. But but I think Doug
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Peterson is a perfect coach for him. And I told
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: you that when I saw you in the preseason. And
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the reason I think he's the perfect coaches because of
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: his track records, Um, And I think the maturation process
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: of the quarterback is just a year behind schedule because
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: of all the stuff that went on a year ago.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: And look at my surprised that the stuff happened the
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: other day. Yeah, I am a little bit. In fact,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I was watching the game, you know, getting ready for
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: our game against the Panthers, and I saw the throat.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I'm like, man, that's a bad throw. How did that happen? Um?
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: And I heard you at the top say, you know,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: he had the other throw available and didn't take it,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: you know, And I he can only speak to that process,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: but I will tell you the one thing is I've
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: always found out with him is that he's wired to
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: get better. Even when you think he's reached the top
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: of it, Brian, I think he's still wired to improve.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: And I think now this process of learning and going
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: through these experiences now with coach Peterson will benefit him.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: And I would like to thank the Jaguars down the Road.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: Jack's drivetime here is Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at nine
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: thirty am on Jaguars dot Com and the Jags Social
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Channel's Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. And now our preview of
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: an interview that will air in full on the Official
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Jaguars Podcast Network Saturday, and we'll run again Sunday and
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: countdown to kickoff on the Jaguars Radio Network. It's CBS
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Sports play by play announcer Andrew Catalan on the performance
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: from the Raiders last week and a shutout loss to
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: the Saints. You can make the case that the Raiders
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: performance last week in New Orleans was the worst game
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: any team in the NFL has played this year. I mean,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: it was that bad. And there was some momentum too,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: because you know, they had played really well and Arrowhead
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: against the Chiefs, just came up a little bit short
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: and had a bye week blew out the Texans. Uh,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: they were feeling pretty good against the Saints team that
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: hasn't done much and they completely laid an egg. Now,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the interesting thing with them this week is they've been
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: training down in I M G and sarah Sota, so
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: maybe some team bonding, maybe getting away from home and
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: families will kind of galvanize them a little bit. Um.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: If you're a Jaguars fan, you're hoping that's not the case.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: But I think they're gonna come out with a bit
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: of a chip on their shoulder because there wasn't one
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: player that played well in that game for the Raiders
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: last week, and the head coach took the responsibility for
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: an apologize to the fans, and they got a lot
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: to play for here against Jacksonville. So I'd expect to
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: see a better Raiders team than we saw a week ago,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: you know, And when you put out a performance like
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: that the next week, a lot of times you go
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: back to what you've been doing the best, what's the
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: easiest route to success, And that for them, at least
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: as in Blade has been running the football was Josh Jacobs.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: You might see a healthy dose of him. Jaguar has
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: been pretty good against the run this year overall except
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, but for the most part. But Jacobs is
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: a real deal. He was on a little run there
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: before last week's game. Two. Yeah, he's been running the
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: ball great. He runs the ball hard. Uh, he does
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: not get tired, it appears, And you're right. The Jacks
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: have played some pretty good run defense for the most
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: part this year, so that'll be a big match up.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: And I also expect them to get Davante Adams is involved.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: He only had one catch last week in New Orleans.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: That's not why they brought that guy in there. He's
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: in there to get seven to ten catches, and I
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: think him and maybe Darren Waller coming back if he's healthy.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: They are a talented team. I mean, they scored twenty
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: nine points in Kansas City. Not that the Chiefs have
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: a great defense, but you know they can score points.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: The big surprise to me has been on the defensive side,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: where Chandler Jones has done nothing. He's got a half
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: a sack. Obviously, Max Crosby's leading the way, but I
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: think you want to make sure, if you're Jacksonville, that
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: this is the game that Chandler Jones does not wake
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: up again. The full interview coming Saturday on the Official
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Jaguars podcast network. It's week nine, the Las Vegas Radars
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: at two and five and the Jacksonville Jaguars at two
• 21:07
