- 0:03Speaker 1: It is Thursday, September twenty eight. This is Jaguars Happy Hour.
- 0:12Speaker 1: Kaguars Happy Hour is brought to you by the Saint
- 0:14Speaker 1: John's River Water Management's history and now finally somebody with
- 0:20Speaker 1: air guys Steaven.
- 0:24Speaker 2: Oh we love that. Welcome into Jaguars Happy Hour of
- 0:27Speaker 2: filling in for JP Shadrick today. He's already jetted off
- 0:30Speaker 2: to London without us. Jeff Logman is here with us
- 0:33Speaker 2: as always in the Hyundai studios as we get ready
- 0:36Speaker 2: for two games in London, and we're going to talk
- 0:39Speaker 2: over whatever that is that we saw in week three. Jeff,
- 0:41Speaker 2: I haven't seen you since I adjusted that.
- 0:45Speaker 3: Yeah I did, Yeah, I did then, And I actually
- 0:49Speaker 3: chose to watch the film Sunday night.
- 0:51Speaker 2: Oh you're you just went for it and I'm already down.
- 0:54Speaker 2: I'm gonna rewatch this well.
- 0:56Speaker 3: Two reasons why okay. One is is because of travel
- 1:00Speaker 3: in the London Fair today. I want to make sure
- 1:02Speaker 3: that everything's kind of behind you in your head a
- 1:05Speaker 3: little bit. But also because I wanted to take the
- 1:07Speaker 3: pain in one day.
- 1:08Speaker 2: Yes, just get it out of the way. It was
- 1:11Speaker 2: a tough one and I think everybody was kind of
- 1:13Speaker 2: just it was a snowball effect, right, because it was
- 1:16Speaker 2: one thing went wrong, you know, you miss a kick,
- 1:17Speaker 2: and then the special teams is doing whatever they are doing,
- 1:20Speaker 2: Agnees fumbling the ball, Calvin's dropping balls. It was everybody,
- 1:24Speaker 2: and I think that was different for us, at least
- 1:27Speaker 2: in the other two games, maybe we could say the
- 1:28Speaker 2: defense was okay, but it was every facet of the game.
- 1:30Speaker 3: On Sunday it was and I think it really started
- 1:33Speaker 3: out exactly how you wouldn't want it to start, okay,
- 1:36Speaker 3: because you've got a Texans team coming in that's injured
- 1:39Speaker 3: number one, number two, that's a roster that is rebuilding,
- 1:43Speaker 3: and they have a rookie quarterback. So you felt really
- 1:45Speaker 3: good about where you were at from that standpoint, at
- 1:47Speaker 3: least those of us choking from the outside, and the
- 1:51Speaker 3: offense for the Jaguars has been a little bit clunky,
- 1:54Speaker 3: So what you would like to have is, I don't
- 1:57Speaker 3: want to say it fast start, but you want to
- 1:58Speaker 3: have some success early. And so the first possession that
- 2:02Speaker 3: you have, which you get after the Jaguars hold the
- 2:05Speaker 3: Texans to a three and out, you have a great
- 2:09Speaker 3: matchup opportunity. You got a motion that brings Evan Ingram
- 2:13Speaker 3: across and you get a linebacker on Calvin Ridley and
- 2:17Speaker 3: you're going, here.
- 2:19Speaker 4: We goor was thinking, yeah, and it's the perfect route
- 2:24Speaker 4: combination because it's kind of a speed fade, you know,
- 2:27Speaker 4: corner route, whatever you want to call it.
- 2:30Speaker 3: And Trevor throws an absolute dime and it hits Calvin
- 2:34Speaker 3: in the hands and he's not able to catch it,
- 2:36Speaker 3: and look, it could have happened to anybody. But the
- 2:40Speaker 3: hard part is is that when you're struggling on offense,
- 2:44Speaker 3: you go into a game, you're looking for something positive,
- 2:47Speaker 3: to get the snowball in a positive direction, and it
- 2:50Speaker 3: doesn't happen. But then it provides hope for a Texans
- 2:55Speaker 3: team because they turn around on the next possession, they
- 2:58Speaker 3: catch the Jaguars in a a defensive mistake because you
- 3:04Speaker 3: get Tank Dell running down the field for a forty
- 3:06Speaker 3: six yard game. It gives them first and goal inside
- 3:09Speaker 3: to five. So exactly how you wanted things to go
- 3:12Speaker 3: early in the ball game, it doesn't happen. You make mistakes,
- 3:15Speaker 3: you create negative energy for yourself, and then the Texans
- 3:19Speaker 3: get positive energy on the road in a place that
- 3:21Speaker 3: they've had great success, and then from there it snowballed
- 3:24Speaker 3: in the wrong direction, and it felt.
- 3:26Speaker 2: Like they were really getting in their own heads at
- 3:27Speaker 2: a certain point because it was just mental mistakes, penalties,
- 3:31Speaker 2: things that you know, you don't don't normally see out
- 3:33Speaker 2: of a discipline team. Even on special teams, they're just
- 3:35Speaker 2: going for the ball because you see the ball on
- 3:37Speaker 2: the ground when it's like that, do you just is
- 3:40Speaker 2: it kind of catching? Is just everybody freaking out, like
- 3:42Speaker 2: is that a mentality on the sideline or what kind
- 3:45Speaker 2: of happened when all of those things start to go wrong.
- 3:47Speaker 3: I think football players are humans, sure, so human nature
- 3:52Speaker 3: is sometimes when things haven't been going well, you have
- 3:55Speaker 3: that attitude, we're like, oh here we go again, okay,
- 3:59Speaker 3: And sometimes that's not the right attitude to have, and
- 4:01Speaker 3: you got to fight it. Well, they appeared to fight
- 4:04Speaker 3: it and then climb back in the game, but then
- 4:05Speaker 3: another mistake would set him back. And so every time
- 4:09Speaker 3: you'd have something positive in that game, something negative happened
- 4:11Speaker 3: to slow the momentum down, and special teams was guilty,
- 4:16Speaker 3: defense was guilty, the offense continues to be guilty. And
- 4:22Speaker 3: until you can make better plays on all three phases
- 4:28Speaker 3: of the game. I think that you are what you are.
- 4:30Speaker 3: But I will say this, I think that the negative
- 4:34Speaker 3: performance by the offense, which the offense struggled a little
- 4:37Speaker 3: bit with Indianapolis needed defensive help, definitely struggled against the
- 4:41Speaker 3: Kansas City team. You felt great about. Okay, we held
- 4:43Speaker 3: kan City sevent team. We should have won that game.
- 4:46Speaker 3: And now all of a sudden, you have an offense
- 4:48Speaker 3: that makes mistakes early in this ballgame, and I think
- 4:50Speaker 3: that that affected the defense a little bit and you
- 4:53Speaker 3: can't let that happen. But it did.
- 4:56Speaker 2: And we've been hanging our hat or hanging our hat
- 4:58Speaker 2: but saying we were really what the defense would had
- 5:01Speaker 2: been able to do so far, and then you know,
- 5:03Speaker 2: this isn't necessarily a team built on the defense, had
- 5:05Speaker 2: built on that offense, and a lot of people had
- 5:07Speaker 2: been giving them credit. On paper, they look like they're
- 5:09Speaker 2: very talented. Doug Peterson talked a little bit postgame about
- 5:13Speaker 2: that hype, and maybe some of the players listening to
- 5:15Speaker 2: what they were hearing.
- 5:17Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's I think that's real.
- 5:19Speaker 6: I do.
- 5:20Speaker 7: I think that's real.
- 5:23Speaker 6: And and.
- 5:25Speaker 7: You know, you know, I've been around this game too
- 5:27Speaker 7: long to know that you can't you can't live in
- 5:30Speaker 7: the past or you're gonna you're gonna fail in the future.
- 5:32Speaker 7: And you know, we've just got to focus one day
- 5:35Speaker 7: at a time. We got to get better each day
- 5:37Speaker 7: and can't worry about next week or the week after,
- 5:41Speaker 7: can't worry about the London trip coming up. We can't
- 5:43Speaker 7: you know, we just got to focus in on on
- 5:45Speaker 7: the week at hand. And and you know that that
- 5:48Speaker 7: that part of it starts with me and making sure
- 5:50Speaker 7: that the guys are you know, hearing that message, you know,
- 5:54Speaker 7: loud and clear for me, and and we'll make sure
- 5:57Speaker 7: that they get that message.
- 5:59Speaker 2: Jeff, is there a little bit of that, you know
- 6:01Speaker 2: looking around the room, Hey, we have a bunch of
- 6:02Speaker 2: talent here. We should be good and not necessarily you know,
- 6:06Speaker 2: just I'm not saying they're not putting in the work,
- 6:08Speaker 2: but just assuming things might be easier than they actually are.
- 6:11Speaker 2: Calvin Ridley is new to this offense. He's very talented,
- 6:14Speaker 2: but he hasn't played football in a while. Andy's new here,
- 6:16Speaker 2: so to kind of be going to him as much
- 6:18Speaker 2: as they are, are they forcing that a little bit.
- 6:20Speaker 3: Possibly, you know, last year, just just a kind of
- 6:24Speaker 3: overall thought though with the offense and as far as
- 6:27Speaker 3: you say, well, we thought we were going to be good. Yeah,
- 6:30Speaker 3: you know, the players sometimes have the Tennessee to externalize that.
- 6:34Speaker 3: You know, it's the media they're hyping us. Well, you
- 6:36Speaker 3: know sometimes as players, again human nature, hear it. You
- 6:39Speaker 3: think you're pretty good, and sometimes when you think you're
- 6:42Speaker 3: pretty good, you don't put the work in. But I
- 6:45Speaker 3: will say that this football team worked hard in training,
- 6:47Speaker 3: absolutely and one of the hardest working teams, so they
- 6:49Speaker 3: the work is put in, but transitioning from putting the
- 6:53Speaker 3: work into executing on game day is different. Now you
- 6:57Speaker 3: have to understand that this is hard. Okay. The guys
- 7:01Speaker 3: on the other side get paid to and they have talent,
- 7:04Speaker 3: whether you think they do or you don't. Because it
- 7:07Speaker 3: would have been easy to follow on the trap against
- 7:09Speaker 3: the Texans, Well, this team is just you know, it's rebuilding,
- 7:11Speaker 3: it's got a rookie quarterback. They can't beat us. We're
- 7:14Speaker 3: just you know, we're too good. Well, it's the NFL.
- 7:17Speaker 2: It's certainly what we were saying.
- 7:19Speaker 3: And stay in every given Sunday. But as far as
- 7:23Speaker 3: the offense and trying to find a rhythm on offense
- 7:27Speaker 3: last year, I think one of the trademarks of this
- 7:30Speaker 3: Doug Peterson offense was it was the system. Okay, system,
- 7:35Speaker 3: system system. Trevor would find the open guy. And we've
- 7:39Speaker 3: seen in the past with Doug Peterson, even when he
- 7:41Speaker 3: was in Philadelphia, it wasn't about star individuals. It was
- 7:45Speaker 3: about the offense and making sure the quarterback delivered the
- 7:48Speaker 3: ball to open guys. And I think anytime you have
- 7:50Speaker 3: a Calvin Ridley or a Justin Jefferson, or you know,
- 7:54Speaker 3: one of the great receivers in the league that we
- 7:56Speaker 3: see occasionally on highlights and sometimes in person, you always
- 8:01Speaker 3: feel the need to feed that player because they're great
- 8:04Speaker 3: for a reason, and so you should feed that player.
- 8:07Speaker 3: But you have to have a balance for that, and
- 8:10Speaker 3: it also has to be earned. You know, Calvin Ridley
- 8:13Speaker 3: hasn't played football in a long time prior to the
- 8:15Speaker 3: first game in Indianapolis, and so I think even he
- 8:19Speaker 3: has to earn that respect and to earn that ball
- 8:24Speaker 3: coming his way of a high percentage of times compared
- 8:27Speaker 3: to other people. And was there maybe a little bit
- 8:31Speaker 3: of overestimating that maybe, But you know the great thing
- 8:37Speaker 3: is is that, look, this is a long season. Getting
- 8:39Speaker 3: ready to start game number four here, this week, and
- 8:43Speaker 3: you've got plenty of time the rights you ship, because
- 8:45Speaker 3: it's not about where you're at week two or week three.
- 8:48Speaker 3: It's about trying to find that rhythm and that role
- 8:51Speaker 3: that you can get to into the postseason. So there's time,
- 8:55Speaker 3: but it's not like there's a luxury of time. I mean,
- 8:58Speaker 3: sooner or later you've got to start turning the corner
- 9:00Speaker 3: and start showing them some signs. But I definitely think
- 9:04Speaker 3: that there needs to be I will tell you this
- 9:07Speaker 3: guy in that game against Houston, I said in our broadcast,
- 9:11Speaker 3: at what point do you think about taking Calvin Ridley out?
- 9:15Speaker 2: I thought that that might be a possibility because at
- 9:18Speaker 2: a certain point we talked about I know Doug had
- 9:20Speaker 2: talked about the whole team pressing, but Calvin feels like
- 9:22Speaker 2: he's pressing. He's putting as much pressure on himself and
- 9:25Speaker 2: hyping him, psyching himself out. It seems like at times, Yeah.
- 9:28Speaker 3: And I'm not saying that like like he gets benched.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Oh no, certainly not. It's just even great player, you're
- 9:33Speaker 2: gonna get him open by going to other people and
- 9:36Speaker 2: then going back to him rather than throwing him every
- 9:38Speaker 2: single time in double coverage. Yes, he is capable of
- 9:41Speaker 2: making those catches and making those plays. He's not right now,
- 9:44Speaker 2: but maybe don't force it. If he's double covered, somebody
- 9:46Speaker 2: else should be open.
- 9:47Speaker 3: Right well, and sometimes you got to calm this.
- 9:49Speaker 2: World down absolutely.
- 9:50Speaker 3: And and and show the players also on the team. Hey, look,
- 9:54Speaker 3: you know the reality is it's a bottom line business. Okay.
- 9:58Speaker 3: Productivity is one of the three key components of being
- 10:01Speaker 3: a good player in this league. And he was not
- 10:04Speaker 3: productive in that game, you know, with the false starts,
- 10:07Speaker 3: the couple drops and the one that was early was
- 10:09Speaker 3: was obviously big, but he wasn't the only one that
- 10:11Speaker 3: made mistakes. But of course, you know, at some point
- 10:14Speaker 3: you got to start thinking, okay, what's the best thing
- 10:17Speaker 3: for our team? And I thought in that game, maybe
- 10:20Speaker 3: they were going to just take them out just to
- 10:22Speaker 3: let them take a deep breath.
- 10:24Speaker 2: I'm with you, I think that might have been a
- 10:25Speaker 2: little more helpful. Kinnanni Stevens filling in for JP Shadrick.

- 10:39Speaker 2: now in terms of things with Trevor, He's been throwing
- 10:42Speaker 2: some great balls, but we saw a little frustration at
- 10:44Speaker 2: the end of the game throwing that pick. He talked
- 10:47Speaker 2: postgame on Sunday about wanting to be a little more
- 10:50Speaker 2: vocal with his teammates.
- 10:53Speaker 8: We got great players that have proven that they can
- 10:56Speaker 8: play and play well in this league, and for some
- 10:59Speaker 8: reason right now, it's just not all clicking and we
- 11:01Speaker 8: gotta we gotta figure that out. And I think leading
- 11:03Speaker 8: and just and still in confidence in those guys, but also,
- 11:06Speaker 8: like I said, that sense of urgency of it's not
- 11:08Speaker 8: all right, all right, we're getting to the point where
- 11:09Speaker 8: it's not okay, Like it's I get it and I'm
- 11:12Speaker 8: gonna miss some throws and you guys hold me accountable.
- 11:15Speaker 8: I'm not gonna There's gonna be plays that I want back.
- 11:17Speaker 8: There's you know, three or four today that I went
- 11:19Speaker 8: back where I didn't do my job, and I expect
- 11:22Speaker 8: the coaches to hold me accountable, and they will. And
- 11:23Speaker 8: I'm gonna hold the white outs of tight ends, the
- 11:26Speaker 8: running backs to o line accountable as well for stuff
- 11:28Speaker 8: that you know, they're not doing the best in their job.
- 11:30Speaker 8: So we all no one can get their feelings hurt,
- 11:33Speaker 8: and we don't have guys that do. But we all
- 11:34Speaker 8: have to have that accountability, and I think that's the
- 11:37Speaker 8: biggest thing, and we all have to lead in that
- 11:39Speaker 8: way of taking accountability for what we're doing.
- 11:42Speaker 2: Jeff Doug had the locker room closed for for a
- 11:44Speaker 2: good chunk of time after the game against the Texans
- 11:48Speaker 2: that I don't know, said, I can imagine, but is
- 11:50Speaker 2: this the point where some of the players, some of
- 11:52Speaker 2: the guys need to be like, all right, guys, let's
- 11:53Speaker 2: let's cut it out. We got to figure this out
- 11:55Speaker 2: and do what we need to do.
- 11:56Speaker 3: Yeah, sometimes you need a moment, you know, when you
- 11:59Speaker 3: have disappointment and you didn't meet your own expectations, and
- 12:03Speaker 3: so sometimes a little bit of quiet time will help.
- 12:06Speaker 3: By the way, how about the shirt Trevor's got on there.
- 12:10Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie. I loved that out there there
- 12:11Speaker 2: matching shorts as well. I mean, obviously it's not as
- 12:14Speaker 2: good when you don't win. But on the way to
- 12:16Speaker 2: the game, I was like, Oh, we're gonna do great today.
- 12:19Speaker 3: Mean, Styalin was looking it was good, looking good, But uh,
- 12:23Speaker 3: sometimes you need time after a game like that to
- 12:25Speaker 3: reflect a little bit and let it, let it soak
- 12:28Speaker 3: in sure, disappointment. Allowing it to marinate a little bit
- 12:33Speaker 3: after a game is good and and sometimes it's also
- 12:36Speaker 3: good from a from a media availability standpoint that look,
- 12:39Speaker 3: let these guys take a deep breath before they get
- 12:41Speaker 3: in front of the camera, maybe say something that they regret,
- 12:45Speaker 3: and uh, you know, so that's just part of the deal.
- 12:48Speaker 3: But you know the great thing about this situation is
- 12:51Speaker 3: is that you've got Doug Peterson at the home who
- 12:55Speaker 3: I have full confidence in. And this is not his
- 12:58Speaker 3: first rodeo, certainly not talking about a first year head coach. Okay,
- 13:03Speaker 3: he has been around the league for a long time
- 13:05Speaker 3: and he's experienced in moments like this. He dealt with
- 13:09Speaker 3: it last year, and so I believe that he will
- 13:12Speaker 3: turn this team around. How good will they be, I
- 13:16Speaker 3: don't know, but I believe that they will be again
- 13:19Speaker 3: contending for the division title and then be contenders at
- 13:22Speaker 3: the end of the season. But they've got work to do,
- 13:25Speaker 3: yes they do, and serious work to do.
- 13:26Speaker 2: And they run out of that. It's new. It's the
- 13:29Speaker 2: beginning of the season. Excuse for now in week four,
- 13:31Speaker 2: and you gotta figure it out. At this point. All right,
- 13:33Speaker 2: Jaguars Happy I were brought to you by the Saint
- 13:35Speaker 2: John's River Water Management District, Florida's water it's worth saving.
- 13:40Speaker 2: Coming up a little bit later on after the break,
- 13:42Speaker 2: we're gonna go more into this offense what they need
- 13:44Speaker 2: to figure out going into Week four against the Falcons.
- 13:47Speaker 2: That's coming up next on Jaguars Happy Hour.
- 14:02Speaker 7: I grabbed him actually, you know, coming off the field,
- 14:05Speaker 7: and I just just reiterated to him that, you know,
- 14:09Speaker 7: take a deep breath, stay locked in, stay engaged. I
- 14:13Speaker 7: told him he was a big part of part of
- 14:14Speaker 7: our system and the offense and he's going to have
- 14:17Speaker 7: a lot of success, and just wanted to reiterate that
- 14:19Speaker 7: confidence in him. Excuse me, and really and Trevor does
- 14:23Speaker 7: a great job of that too, of getting with those guys,
- 14:26Speaker 7: and you know, Calvin, Calvin wants to do.
- 14:31Speaker 6: So well, so good, so much.
- 14:34Speaker 7: He wants to prove, you know, and he doesn't have
- 14:36Speaker 7: to he's a good player and he doesn't have to
- 14:38Speaker 7: do I'll just be Calvin. And so those are the
- 14:41Speaker 7: things that we're trying to just get him to do.
- 14:43Speaker 7: Just relax, focus on his job and the and the
- 14:47Speaker 7: plays that you know, have his number attached to him.
- 14:53Speaker 2: Welcome back into Jaguars Happy Hour brought to you by
- 14:55Speaker 2: the Saint John's River Water Management District, Florida's water water
- 14:58Speaker 2: It is worth saving. Nannie Stevens filling in for JP.
- 15:01Speaker 2: Shadrick Jeff Logman still here with us as we get
- 15:03Speaker 2: Happy Hour underway. And that was head coach Doug Peterson
- 15:07Speaker 2: talking a little bit. We had touched on Calvin Ridley
- 15:09Speaker 2: pressing a little bit, you know, some of those drops
- 15:11Speaker 2: getting in his own head, and we talked a little
- 15:13Speaker 2: bit about the offense maybe you know, involving him but
- 15:16Speaker 2: not always going to him as the number one target,
- 15:18Speaker 2: because he's probably going to be best when he can
- 15:20Speaker 2: just kind of run out of nowhere and get himself open,
- 15:22Speaker 2: and if you focus elsewhere, that should open him up.
- 15:26Speaker 3: He's a talented player, and look, you got to remember
- 15:29Speaker 3: that he had a lot of time away from football, yes,
- 15:31Speaker 3: and so getting back into it. Look, it's not without missteps,
- 15:35Speaker 3: and so I think that he'll be fine, but it
- 15:38Speaker 3: will take a little bit of time to get back
- 15:40Speaker 3: up to speed. And I think part of this kind
- 15:44Speaker 3: of evolution with him in this offense also is finding
- 15:47Speaker 3: a comfort zone for everybody. And when you have a
- 15:50Speaker 3: new player that has the talent of his stature, I
- 15:53Speaker 3: think press Taylor and Doug Peterson and Trevor, they all
- 15:56Speaker 3: got to find a comfort level on when he needs
- 16:00Speaker 3: to get the ball and when you need to let
- 16:02Speaker 3: the ball go elsewhere. That's all part of the process.
- 16:05Speaker 3: And you know, the one thing I think I have
- 16:07Speaker 3: great respect for is Trevor's ability to lead and Trevor smart.
- 16:12Speaker 3: He figures things out. The good thing and all this,
- 16:15Speaker 3: I think Trevor has been pretty good.
- 16:16Speaker 2: I believe so as well. Specifically when things aren't going great.
- 16:20Speaker 2: Other than maybe that one interception, he hasn't been making errors.
- 16:23Speaker 3: Yeah, the interception, you're pressing a little bit, and linebacker
- 16:26Speaker 3: tracked him pretty good bit as far as staring his
- 16:30Speaker 3: But you know, when you're at that point of the
- 16:31Speaker 3: ball game, you're trying to force something to happen, make
- 16:33Speaker 3: something to happen, So, yeah, you're pressing a little bit.
- 16:37Speaker 3: The game before against Kansas City, Trevor was not at
- 16:39Speaker 3: his best. But I mean, Trevor overall this year has
- 16:41Speaker 3: been pretty good. Got to get the offensive line to
- 16:44Speaker 3: play better as well. Running game part of this, Yeah,
- 16:47Speaker 3: Running Game showed some good signs though in this past game.
- 16:50Speaker 2: If there is a bright spot, I will have to
- 16:52Speaker 2: say the Running Game so far has been looking good.
- 16:53Speaker 2: Traves Etn just looks he's adding to his repertoire a
- 16:57Speaker 2: little bit, right. Just I don't know if he feels
- 16:59Speaker 2: he can expand his game a little bit differently, or
- 17:01Speaker 2: if he's just you know, purely healthy now or whatever
- 17:04Speaker 2: it is, but he looks a little bit different.
- 17:05Speaker 3: Yeah. He's the one thing about Travis when he was
- 17:09Speaker 3: a first year player, which was last year, even though
- 17:12Speaker 3: it wasn't his rookie year yeah after Yeah, was he
- 17:16Speaker 3: was trying to hit the hole so fast and a
- 17:19Speaker 3: lot of times he didn't have the patience that allowed
- 17:22Speaker 3: the vision and everything else to take over. Now he's
- 17:25Speaker 3: having And they use this term before speed through the hole,
- 17:28Speaker 3: not to the hole, and you're really seeing that, and
- 17:31Speaker 3: they were preaching that with him all pre season, and
- 17:34Speaker 3: you can see that it's paying off because when he
- 17:37Speaker 3: goes through a hole, it's happening. And what who benefits
- 17:42Speaker 3: from that? First of all, he does, but second of all,
- 17:45Speaker 3: the blocking system does because blocks don't have to be
- 17:48Speaker 3: held as long when he's rolling through that hole at
- 17:50Speaker 3: a high rate of speed, and it was encouraging, even
- 17:54Speaker 3: though it's hard to see it. Sometimes when when the
- 17:56Speaker 3: team doesn't play well, the first thing you want to
- 17:59Speaker 3: do is everything's bad. We're terrible, we have clunky offense.
- 18:03Speaker 3: We're not going to be better. White a minute. The
- 18:06Speaker 3: offensive line did better in the run blocking game. The
- 18:09Speaker 3: run game was so much better, and that I think
- 18:13Speaker 3: took a lot of pressure off of Trevor. And also
- 18:15Speaker 3: Etn was involved in the passing game, so I think
- 18:18Speaker 3: there was if there was a positive end that game,
- 18:20Speaker 3: and you want to you need something to seek your
- 18:23Speaker 3: teeth into. The Jaguars offense got better in that aspect,
- 18:27Speaker 3: and I thought they got a little bit better in
- 18:29Speaker 3: pass protection as well. Not against as a formidable front
- 18:33Speaker 3: okay in Houston, Okay, And I understand that. Then I
- 18:36Speaker 3: don't want to take away all the excitement there, but
- 18:39Speaker 3: that's what you need to have, is to take steps.
- 18:42Speaker 2: When we look at this offensive line, We've been talking
- 18:45Speaker 2: about this at nauseum. I feel like at this point,
- 18:47Speaker 2: but is it getting better? What will is Cam coming
- 18:50Speaker 2: back going to help? Because you can shift some things around.
- 18:52Speaker 2: Where do you look at how it is right now,
- 18:54Speaker 2: because it's not where it needs to be for this
- 18:56Speaker 2: offense to be as successful as we want them to be.
- 18:58Speaker 3: It's a great question what happens when Cam comes back?
- 19:02Speaker 3: And and also the question is what do you do
- 19:04Speaker 3: right now?
- 19:05Speaker 2: Yeah, in the meantime, Walker Little, I.
- 19:08Speaker 3: Think is playing very well left tackle. And what's amazing.
- 19:12Speaker 3: And I think that's like his fifth or second, fifth
- 19:14Speaker 3: or sixth start of the regular season tackle that's it.
- 19:17Speaker 3: I know, we forget that, you know, and a lot
- 19:19Speaker 3: of people don't realize that. I mean playing left tackles hard.
- 19:22Speaker 3: I mean there's a lot of studs out there that
- 19:24Speaker 3: left tackles got a block. And he's still a very
- 19:27Speaker 3: young player as far as time spent on task, and
- 19:31Speaker 3: so that's been impressive and he's probably been the best
- 19:34Speaker 3: offensive lineman so far. The inside guy struggled against Kansas City,
- 19:40Speaker 3: they struggled against Indianapolis. Got to remember now, though, Okay,
- 19:44Speaker 3: there was ninety five and ninety and ninety nine. Okay,
- 19:48Speaker 3: these three guys, and two of them in Indianapolis, one
- 19:51Speaker 3: of them with Kansas City, Chris Jones, the Forrest Buckner
- 19:54Speaker 3: and then Grover Stewart. I mean, three excellent players. There,
- 19:58Speaker 3: and they struggled up front, as most teams do a
- 20:00Speaker 3: little bit, but they've got to settle down. And I
- 20:04Speaker 3: think Bartch has got to play better than he did
- 20:06Speaker 3: this past game. He struggled a little bit and needs
- 20:09Speaker 3: sheriff to get a little stronger. Anton needs to play better,
- 20:12Speaker 3: but he's a rookie. He will. And the question is
- 20:16Speaker 3: is that if you're not satisfied with where they're at,
- 20:20Speaker 3: do you consider doing something else?
- 20:23Speaker 5: And do they That's real?
- 20:25Speaker 3: I think that's real. And as coaches, I think you
- 20:28Speaker 3: have to look at everything. And I'm not saying that
- 20:30Speaker 3: you should or you shouldn't do it. But you got
- 20:32Speaker 3: a guy in Shatley who started I think twelve games
- 20:35Speaker 3: last year, who did a really good job. And oh,
- 20:38Speaker 3: by the way, you were thinking about replace them with
- 20:41Speaker 3: Walker little throughout the season, and you know what, you
- 20:44Speaker 3: couldn't because he played that well. Well, he's there and
- 20:47Speaker 3: he's still on your roster. So do you consider playing Shatley?
- 20:51Speaker 3: And when I say consider playing him, do you consider
- 20:53Speaker 3: playing him at left guard or center center? Yeah, because
- 20:56Speaker 3: he can play both. I think that'll be an trusting you. See,
- 21:00Speaker 3: I think you're most likely the coaching staff will have
- 21:03Speaker 3: little patients. But as uh as the wins don't stack up,
- 21:08Speaker 3: patients starts to wane.
- 21:10Speaker 2: Get to try something new. Absolutely. Pr Productions, the official
- 21:14Speaker 2: event production company of the Jaguars, has everything that you
- 21:17Speaker 2: need to bring your next idea to life. Is it
- 21:19Speaker 2: pri I Productions dot com? Jeff, we were talking out
- 21:23Speaker 2: fair about this. I wanted to bring it up. Now.
- 21:24Speaker 2: Special teams, which I had been heralding for weeks now,
- 21:28Speaker 2: they fell apart on Sunday. What was going on with that? Yeah,
- 21:32Speaker 2: it was a little bit of everybody.
- 21:34Speaker 3: Wasn't wasn't their best outing, It wasn't. The reality is
- 21:38Speaker 3: is that special team so far this year has been
- 21:41Speaker 3: a positive.
- 21:42Speaker 2: Absolutely, and probably swung that game for them, you know,
- 21:44Speaker 2: Agnew's return against the Colts probably otherwise they're zero to three.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Maybe if made them and you know, and they didn't
- 21:50Speaker 2: capitalize on it. But getting the kick return in the
- 21:54Speaker 2: red zone against the Chiefs that should have been a
- 21:56Speaker 2: touchdown that was not. But yeah, I mean, and it
- 22:00Speaker 2: was a little bit of So you bring in McManus
- 22:04Speaker 2: because you want a veteran kicker that you can trust.
- 22:06Speaker 2: He misses his first kick and then another one's blocked
- 22:09Speaker 2: which obviously isn't his fault, but it was just when
- 22:12Speaker 2: it rains at pours with them.
- 22:14Speaker 3: Yeah, he had a tough day. And again it's not
- 22:18Speaker 3: all Brandon McManus's fault, and he had a tough day
- 22:21Speaker 3: for multiple reasons. One because on the blockfield goal he
- 22:25Speaker 3: got involved in the scrum and the scramble for the ball,
- 22:28Speaker 3: and then on the kick return for a touchdown, he's
- 22:31Speaker 3: trying to he's trying to run to chase down the
- 22:35Speaker 3: full back slash tight end that's making the return.
- 22:38Speaker 2: It's never good when the kickers trying to make the
- 22:40Speaker 2: tackle at the end.
- 22:41Speaker 3: You don't want kickers having to play football, Okay, kickers,
- 22:44Speaker 3: you want kicking and that's it. But you know a
- 22:47Speaker 3: couple you know missfires by Jaguar special teams. The let
- 22:53Speaker 3: start with the blockfield goal. All blockfield goals defense or
- 22:58Speaker 3: opponents typically will attack one guy, okay, and you send
- 23:02Speaker 3: three at one guy and say you have the guy
- 23:05Speaker 3: in the middle and then one guy on each side.
- 23:07Speaker 3: The guy in the middle literally goes after one guy
- 23:10Speaker 3: right down the middle and tries to punch him in
- 23:12Speaker 3: the nose. And then you send a guy on his inside,
- 23:15Speaker 3: and then you send a guy on his outside, okay,
- 23:17Speaker 3: and the guy down the middle is trying to, you know,
- 23:19Speaker 3: punch him in the nose so that he can't block
- 23:21Speaker 3: those two guys on either side, and the Walker Little
- 23:24Speaker 3: was the target. So they went after Walker Little with
- 23:27Speaker 3: the guy down the middle of the guy to the
- 23:28Speaker 3: inside happened to be Anderson Junior, the third overall pick
- 23:31Speaker 3: of the draft for the Texans, and Anton Harrison, who
- 23:35Speaker 3: is the tackle right beside Walker Little, kind of lunges
- 23:39Speaker 3: for just a little bit, just a little bit. Well,
- 23:42Speaker 3: then when Walker Little gets punched in the nose, and
- 23:44Speaker 3: I use that he gets hit, okay, his right leg
- 23:48Speaker 3: kind of loses its placement and it swings open just
- 23:51Speaker 3: a little bit, just enough space. So now you have
- 23:53Speaker 3: Anton Harrison just a little bit forward Walker a little
- 23:56Speaker 3: with a little opening of the gate and then there
- 23:58Speaker 3: goes will Anderson Junior right through and gets two hands
- 24:01Speaker 3: to block the kick. And that's unfortunate. It gave the
- 24:06Speaker 3: Texans great field position and it took points off of
- 24:09Speaker 3: the board for you, you know, the kickoff return for a touchdown,
- 24:13Speaker 3: you had a major faux Paul. You had an excellent
- 24:17Speaker 3: mortar kick, which is a high hangar. That put the
- 24:20Speaker 3: Texans exactly where you wanted them where they were having
- 24:23Speaker 3: confusion and who's going to fill the ball the returner
- 24:25Speaker 3: or up back. I mean, that's perfect, right, And the
- 24:29Speaker 3: ball's floundering around on the ground a little bit. Well,
- 24:31Speaker 3: the left side of the Jaguars coverage kickoff team starts
- 24:34Speaker 3: to collapse, and when they start to collapse, they lose
- 24:37Speaker 3: a little bit of leverage. Okay, and so they all
- 24:40Speaker 3: take shots. But you got to remember they're trying to
- 24:43Speaker 3: figure out who's going to pick the ball up, right,
- 24:45Speaker 3: So that means that the guys that are coming down
- 24:46Speaker 3: the field out of control.
- 24:48Speaker 2: Flying by because that the fullback's bracing to get hit
- 24:51Speaker 2: and the three guys run right by him.
- 24:53Speaker 3: And the three guys were I think weren't sure when
- 24:56Speaker 3: we say three guys, Okay, it was Daniel Thomas Harris,
- 25:00Speaker 3: think Harris who was elevated off of the practice squad,
- 25:03Speaker 3: and then the linebacker Caleb Johnson. So those three guys,
- 25:07Speaker 3: so they all take a shot, and I'm sure they're
- 25:08Speaker 3: trying to figure out who's going to pick up the ball.
- 25:10Speaker 3: And so now they're coming in out of control trying
- 25:12Speaker 3: to figure out who's picking up the ball. They all miss.
- 25:15Speaker 3: Now you got a safety in Trey Herndon, who now
- 25:17Speaker 3: is kind of the last layer of defense. He's the
- 25:20Speaker 3: safety okay on that second layer. And he doesn't do
- 25:23Speaker 3: a great job. Okay, his angle's bad and the full
- 25:26Speaker 3: back out runs him to the boundary and then it's
- 25:28Speaker 3: a foot race and this full back and give him credit. Now,
- 25:32Speaker 3: Andrew Beck did a good job, okay, and actually showed
- 25:35Speaker 3: some pretty good speed and everybody's kind of making fun
- 25:37Speaker 3: of him about him being a fullback. I gotta give
- 25:41Speaker 3: him credit. He was running pretty fast.
- 25:43Speaker 2: He did not right for himself. I mean, it wasn't
- 25:45Speaker 2: complete embarrassing. It wasn't like alignment picked it up.
- 25:47Speaker 3: And I thought he was better than all right, I
- 25:49Speaker 3: thought he was really good. Give him credit now. So
- 25:52Speaker 3: but that was unfortunate because the Jaguars were starting to
- 25:55Speaker 3: get back into that ball game, and then that play
- 25:57Speaker 3: happens and and once again there goes the wind out
- 26:01Speaker 3: of your sales or the life getting sucked out.
- 26:02Speaker 6: Of you again.
- 26:03Speaker 2: Just an absolute momentum killer when you're on special teams
- 26:07Speaker 2: like that. Is that another human nature thing where the
- 26:08Speaker 2: ball's out and everybody kind of just runs towards it,
- 26:11Speaker 2: or did people in a discipline thing or am I
- 26:14Speaker 2: read well.
- 26:14Speaker 3: No, you bring up a great point about a discipline.
- 26:16Speaker 2: Thing, because you got to stay your spot right.
- 26:19Speaker 3: You have ten coverage guys on kickoff, let's ignore the kicker.
- 26:23Speaker 2: Kickers kick right, yes, hopefully not making tackles. Yes.
- 26:26Speaker 3: So then you have ten guys that are running down
- 26:29Speaker 3: the field. You have typically two safety valves. So now
- 26:32Speaker 3: you have eight okay, that are running down the field,
- 26:35Speaker 3: four on the left side, four on the right side,
- 26:38Speaker 3: two safeties and a kicker that you don't want to
- 26:40Speaker 3: have be involved. So the guys that are on the
- 26:43Speaker 3: left side, the four they need to make sure that
- 26:46Speaker 3: the ball is a is are running down the field.
- 26:48Speaker 3: The ball stays on their right because if they miss,
- 26:52Speaker 3: there's four other guys on the right side that are
- 26:55Speaker 3: going to help them. Okay, just like the right side
- 26:58Speaker 3: guys when they go down the field, they want to
- 27:00Speaker 3: keep the ball on their left because they know the
- 27:02Speaker 3: left side guys are going to be there. Well when
- 27:04Speaker 3: they come down the field. The three guys that kind
- 27:07Speaker 3: of collapse on the left side, Okay, Harris and Daniel
- 27:10Speaker 3: Thomas and Caleb Johnson they all took a shot and
- 27:14Speaker 3: then once they missed, Okay, now that whole left side
- 27:17Speaker 3: is completely collapsing in the middle of the coverage team
- 27:20Speaker 3: had actually already started to drift to the right where
- 27:23Speaker 3: a return was actually set up to be returned. That
- 27:26Speaker 3: was the planned return side of the Texan Wodgels the
- 27:28Speaker 3: other side of the field. So so yeah, partly self
- 27:32Speaker 3: inflicted bad angles and then just flat out missus.
- 27:36Speaker 2: And just tough timing in the game too, because then
- 27:38Speaker 2: it just very tough out of the sale at that point.
- 27:41Speaker 2: And then also I think that tank Dell pass that C. J.
- 27:45Speaker 2: Stroud had was another one where I think had they
- 27:47Speaker 2: gotten it within ten again after the fact, and then
- 27:49Speaker 2: it was well the one late, Yeah, that late one.
- 27:51Speaker 2: That was another that was probably your dagger where you're
- 27:53Speaker 2: just like ends over and.
- 27:54Speaker 3: That one hurt in a big way because Okay, you're
- 27:59Speaker 3: you're essentially it's a two man route. Okay, Texans only
- 28:02Speaker 3: have two wide receivers out on this particular play, I believe,
- 28:05Speaker 3: and you're you have confusion. There's a bunch formation, which
- 28:10Speaker 3: a bunch formation for people that don't know, you basically
- 28:13Speaker 3: get three Texans wide receivers that are standing close together
- 28:17Speaker 3: and the Jaguars are playing man covered, so you need
- 28:19Speaker 3: to identify who you got. So Kayath and you are
- 28:22Speaker 3: covering the two microphones in front of us, I'm gonna
- 28:25Speaker 3: look at you and say.
- 28:26Speaker 6: I got that one.
- 28:26Speaker 3: Okay, you got that one?
- 28:28Speaker 1: All right?
- 28:28Speaker 3: Okay. There wasn't any of that communication. They just went
- 28:31Speaker 3: over there on the Jaguars defensive side of the field.
- 28:33Speaker 3: So you ended up having two guys, which was Trey
- 28:36Speaker 3: Herndon and Darius Williams covering this Tank Dell guy or
- 28:40Speaker 3: excuse me, not covering Tank Dell. They both went to it. Yeah,
- 28:43Speaker 3: they went to a guy that was in the flat
- 28:45Speaker 3: and then when Tank Dell turned it up, he was
- 28:47Speaker 3: all alone. And you know, again, communication that there is
- 28:52Speaker 3: not a physical air.
- 28:53Speaker 5: That's a mental air just lapses if not in the
- 28:55Speaker 5: rental lace.
- 28:55Speaker 2: Yep, it's tough to combat a mental error, that's for sure.
- 29:00Speaker 2: Happy Hours brought to you by the Saint John's River
- 29:02Speaker 2: Water Management District. Florida's water is worth saving. Coming up,
- 29:06Speaker 2: we're gonna talk a little bit about the defense. We've
- 29:08Speaker 2: been talking about everybody else, so exactly what's going on
- 29:10Speaker 2: with the d and what they need to change going forward.
- 29:13Speaker 2: This is Jaguars Happy Hour. We'll be right back.
- 29:23Speaker 7: We have to do better.
- 29:24Speaker 6: We have to do better.
- 29:26Speaker 7: Starts up front, starts with the offensive line on offense,
- 29:29Speaker 7: starts with the defensive line on defense.
- 29:31Speaker 6: It starts right there. Again, I'm gonna say this again.
- 29:34Speaker 6: We need to coach better.
- 29:37Speaker 7: We need to play better.
- 29:38Speaker 6: We need to execute better.
- 29:42Speaker 7: Whether we are reading our press clippings, we need to
- 29:46Speaker 7: get out of our own way right now. We need
- 29:49Speaker 7: to evaluate ourselves, beginning with me, and we got to
- 29:58Speaker 7: figure out how to win a game.
- 30:01Speaker 2: Back here on Jaguar's Happy Hour, brought to you by
- 30:03Speaker 2: the Saint John's Riverwater Management District. Florida's water is worth saving.
- 30:07Speaker 2: Doug Peterson seemed like he was lost for words in
- 30:10Speaker 2: that moment after the game, a man who has never
- 30:12Speaker 2: lost for words. Brian Sexton joins us now on the
- 30:15Speaker 2: Happy Hour, thinking he's not my problem stopping this, and
- 30:18Speaker 2: Doug's usually not lost for words either. Brian and I
- 30:21Speaker 2: think he was just as dumbfounded as we were to
- 30:23Speaker 2: a certain degree about all of the mistakes in that
- 30:25Speaker 2: game against the Texans and just how bad it got
- 30:28Speaker 2: so quickly.
- 30:29Speaker 5: I just stopped writing them down.
- 30:31Speaker 9: I mean I filled up a whole piece of paper
- 30:33Speaker 9: and at one point I said, I don't know that
- 30:35Speaker 9: I've ever seen anything like this. I think I stopped
- 30:38Speaker 9: when the two hundred and fifty five pound full back.
- 30:40Speaker 9: By the way, do you know this, he is the
- 30:42Speaker 9: heaviest person in NFL history to return a kick for
- 30:45Speaker 9: a touchdown.
- 30:46Speaker 2: Jeff was just saying he thought he's pretty fast, so
- 30:50Speaker 2: impressive now that he's the biggest guy.
- 30:51Speaker 3: But there was a call years ago that Brian called
- 30:54Speaker 3: out of defensive lineman. Look at that fat guy run.
- 30:58Speaker 5: That was Keith Traylor in Chicageah.
- 31:01Speaker 9: Yeah, it wasn't that, No, well it kind of was,
- 31:04Speaker 9: but it was a fumble recovery, not a kickoff.
- 31:06Speaker 3: So yeah, I remember it was a But when you
- 31:09Speaker 3: talk about you.
- 31:11Speaker 9: Mentioned something about the baby elephant walk. I was trying
- 31:14Speaker 9: to be funny. It didn't work, but thanks.
- 31:17Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought it was funny and Wayne laughed too.
- 31:19Speaker 5: But I got a lot of help for that.
- 31:21Speaker 2: So yeah, oh goodness. We talked a little bit about
- 31:25Speaker 2: this on jags Am that it was all facets of
- 31:28Speaker 2: the game that messed up against the Texans. It wasn't
- 31:31Speaker 2: just you know, the offense again, special teams were touched
- 31:34Speaker 2: on that, and then the defense, for the first time
- 31:36Speaker 2: this season, really did not This is a new show.
- 31:38Speaker 9: I haven't done the show. So can I just throw
- 31:40Speaker 9: my wild theory out and you will? I think maybe
- 31:43Speaker 9: I've said it to both of you. Doug came into
- 31:45Speaker 9: his press conference before the Chiefs game on Wednesday, and
- 31:48Speaker 9: Doug is an affable guy. He's got a quick wit
- 31:50Speaker 9: to him.
- 31:51Speaker 5: He seems to enjoy a little bit of banter.
- 31:53Speaker 9: That Wednesday, Jeff he came in and he gripped both
- 31:55Speaker 9: sides of the podium and he didn't really look up,
- 31:58Speaker 9: and he talked kind of like this, and I said, somebody,
- 32:00Speaker 9: something that's wrong, and ah Na, you're reading too much
- 32:03Speaker 9: into it. I went, just something doesn't feel right. And
- 32:06Speaker 9: then they didn't play all that well on offense, which
- 32:09Speaker 9: I mean, I think if we thought they were gonna
- 32:10Speaker 9: play well against Kana City with thought of them in defense, right,
- 32:12Speaker 9: but the defense plays great in the offense, where are they,
- 32:16Speaker 9: I mean, nowhere to be found?
- 32:17Speaker 5: Three field goals? And then last week, I mean, just
- 32:19Speaker 5: the cascading effective mistake, mistake, mistake, mistake, mistake.
- 32:23Speaker 9: It just kept going there's something off about this team
- 32:26Speaker 9: and I can't put my finger on it. And maybe
- 32:28Speaker 9: it's confidence, and you know, maybe they just are are
- 32:31Speaker 9: like a like a bunch of teenagers who don't know
- 32:33Speaker 9: how to get out of their own way, which is.
- 32:35Speaker 5: A phrase that Doug has used. I don't know, but
- 32:37Speaker 5: it's tough for me to figure it out.
- 32:39Speaker 3: I think sometimes we overcomplicate it. It's I think it's
- 32:43Speaker 3: pretty simple and that the player, the players that are
- 32:47Speaker 3: out there, when given the opportunity, just need to make
- 32:50Speaker 3: the plays that are there number one, number two, don't
- 32:53Speaker 3: make the mistakes. I mean six penalties in this ball game,
- 32:56Speaker 3: which you had six the least penalized team in the
- 32:58Speaker 3: league going into that game, and then you equal that
- 33:01Speaker 3: total in one game. And then you got to have
- 33:04Speaker 3: some energy, and that energy is created from with them.
- 33:08Speaker 3: And I don't think it's any more complicated than that.
- 33:11Speaker 5: But why can't they I mean, that's my question.
- 33:12Speaker 3: Why.
- 33:13Speaker 9: I mean, we all were excited for this team to
- 33:15Speaker 9: start the season because we thought, based on last year
- 33:17Speaker 9: and what we saw in August, that we would see something.
- 33:21Speaker 9: If we're excited about it, what did they know that
- 33:24Speaker 9: we don't? Why are they unable to generate that.
- 33:26Speaker 3: Well. Sometimes last year it starts with just one play, okay,
- 33:31Speaker 3: and then okay, now let's make another positive play. You know,
- 33:34Speaker 3: I go back to guy in ninety six game. Brian
- 33:37Speaker 3: was there for that and that we were struggling as
- 33:40Speaker 3: a football team and it was not good, and we
- 33:44Speaker 3: kind of overcomplicated the situation. Then we just said, all right, look,
- 33:47Speaker 3: let's let's block everything out and let's focus on this game.
- 33:51Speaker 3: Let's focus on one play at a time. We just
- 33:53Speaker 3: started stacking plays. And all of a sudden, we started
- 33:55Speaker 3: stacking plays and start of ignoring the big picture and
- 33:58Speaker 3: started to live in the moment and tried to excel
- 34:00Speaker 3: in the moment. And then all of a sudden, the
- 34:02Speaker 3: big picture stuff just started to come together because we
- 34:04Speaker 3: were putting play after play together and then we started
- 34:07Speaker 3: to win.
- 34:07Speaker 9: Him he won't tell you this because he's far too modest,
- 34:10Speaker 9: but he was the guy that made the play. Late
- 34:12Speaker 9: in the ballgame at the Old Memorial Stadium in Baltimore
- 34:15Speaker 9: against Vinnie Testaverdi and the Ravens, he came up with
- 34:18Speaker 9: a fumble fumble recovery that gave the Jaguars a.
- 34:21Speaker 5: Chance to tie it.
- 34:22Speaker 9: And score the two point conversion and send the game
- 34:25Speaker 9: into overtime, and it started a seven game winning streak
- 34:27Speaker 9: all the way to the AFC Championship game. So you
- 34:32Speaker 9: know exactly what you speak of. They were four and
- 34:35Speaker 9: seven that year, Kai and the coach was under fire.
- 34:39Speaker 9: The word in the street really was it. They didn't
- 34:42Speaker 9: the players didn't like Tom Coughlin, didn't like playing for him.
- 34:45Speaker 9: They cut Andre Rising. You remember at the circus. I
- 34:47Speaker 9: mean it felt like the whole thing was melting down
- 34:50Speaker 9: and they were going to fire Tom and they were
- 34:51Speaker 9: going to move on. And then, as Jeff said, made
- 34:54Speaker 9: a play, made another one the next week in the rain.
- 34:56Speaker 9: They come home from Baltimore and Cincinnati and can't do
- 34:59Speaker 9: any They score field goals, but the defense plays well.
- 35:02Speaker 9: I mean, it was just that's what it takes. So
- 35:04Speaker 9: who on this team Jeff is capable of making that play?
- 35:08Speaker 3: Quarterback?
- 35:09Speaker 5: Okay, it has to be him.
- 35:10Speaker 3: Yeah, well no, it doesn't have to be him, But
- 35:12Speaker 3: at the quarterback and to me, the quarterback, excuse me,
- 35:16Speaker 3: Travis Etn Christian Kirk Gridley. I mean, there's a lot
- 35:20Speaker 3: of guys that are capable, but the man that's delivering
- 35:23Speaker 3: it yeah, has got to be the guy, and I
- 35:24Speaker 3: believe he can be the guy.
- 35:26Speaker 9: So last week, at one point, kay, maybe it was
- 35:29Speaker 9: after the first touchdown, he came to the sidelines and
- 35:31Speaker 9: Doug met him. Do you remember and Doug said something
- 35:35Speaker 9: and he kind of gestured Trevor did, and Doug said, no, no,
- 35:38Speaker 9: everyone relaxed, Just make everyone relax. And it seemed like
- 35:41Speaker 9: for the first time he was relaxed. Have you noticed
- 35:45Speaker 9: that about him? The offense wasn't great against the Colts,
- 35:47Speaker 9: and then it didn't show up against Kansas City. Do
- 35:49Speaker 9: you think Trevor, who has been in the spotlight since
- 35:52Speaker 9: he was in middle school, has struggled this year with
- 35:56Speaker 9: just calming himself down.
- 35:59Speaker 3: No, I think you know, this past game he impressed me. Okay,
- 36:03Speaker 3: and so, but I think every year is different, and
- 36:06Speaker 3: there's always an adjustment when you have a change of components,
- 36:09Speaker 3: and even when you return the same components, you know,
- 36:11Speaker 3: because everybody's at a little different level, whether it's one.
- 36:15Speaker 3: I mean, even though let's start to say, for example,
- 36:17Speaker 3: that there was no Calvin Ridley, you still have to
- 36:20Speaker 3: develop chemistry for this year with the guys that are
- 36:23Speaker 3: out there, Christian Kirk and Jay Jones and Evan Ingram.
- 36:26Speaker 3: You still have to establish that. So every year is different,
- 36:30Speaker 3: and every year you have to establish things just from
- 36:33Speaker 3: the beginning like they never happened before. And I think
- 36:35Speaker 3: Trevor's just in that process, that's all.
- 36:38Speaker 2: If you're looking for the MVP of the truck game,
- 36:40Speaker 2: then look no further than Ford F one fifty, loaded
- 36:42Speaker 2: with impressive capability and designed to dominate, workplay, everything in between.
- 36:46Speaker 2: This truck makes tough look easy. Your local Ford dealer,
- 36:50Speaker 2: proud partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars, kay Nani Stevens filling
- 36:53Speaker 2: in for JP Shadwick, Bryan Sexton has joined us, and
- 36:56Speaker 2: Jeff Logerman is here. As always we've been ragging on everybody.
- 36:59Speaker 2: We should probably spread the wealth a little bit and
- 37:01Speaker 2: talk about the defense because they had been playing better
- 37:03Speaker 2: than we thought. But also, where's this past rush we've
- 37:06Speaker 2: been talking about?
- 37:06Speaker 1: Right?
- 37:06Speaker 2: They said they were going to keep with their guys
- 37:08Speaker 2: and look at me like.
- 37:09Speaker 9: I have the answer, tell us, I don't know where
- 37:14Speaker 9: it is. And Jeff, that to me may have been
- 37:16Speaker 9: the most maddening part of that game. I mean, that
- 37:18Speaker 9: was an offensive line playing without Laramie Tunsel, who who
- 37:22Speaker 9: didn't even travel. Uh at Tyas Howard, you know the
- 37:25Speaker 9: right tackles on injured reserve. Uh, they're playing with the
- 37:28Speaker 9: backup left guard. They're playing with the backup center. And
- 37:31Speaker 9: and the Jaguars got no pressure at all. Were they
- 37:35Speaker 9: too stubborn about it? We're going to get there with four?
- 37:39Speaker 10: Well?
- 37:40Speaker 5: No, the second half when they started.
- 37:41Speaker 3: Saying, I don't think so, because when they ended up
- 37:43Speaker 3: trying to bring pressure, they got burned. It kind of
- 37:46Speaker 3: got backfired in their face a little bit. But I
- 37:50Speaker 3: will say the right tackle that played for the Texas
- 37:53Speaker 3: George fan, good football player.
- 37:54Speaker 6: Yeah, right.
- 37:55Speaker 3: And there was some backups and one of the guy
- 37:57Speaker 3: that was a backup left guard.
- 37:58Speaker 5: Was a former first last year.
- 38:00Speaker 3: Okay, but I'm with you. Left tackle was a guy
- 38:03Speaker 3: that normally plays left guard. The center's a six round
- 38:05Speaker 3: pick rookie. Okay, let's beat him up a little bit.
- 38:08Speaker 2: Also, Stroud's been sacked eleven times in the first two games.
- 38:11Speaker 2: Hits there. He stays in the pocket. He's not running
- 38:14Speaker 2: away from the hits.
- 38:15Speaker 3: Let me let me say this though, I think we're
- 38:18Speaker 3: in for a long haul with CJ.
- 38:20Speaker 5: Struts.
- 38:20Speaker 3: Oh, I know, you know what I mean. But before
- 38:24Speaker 3: we start looking at ourselves and saying, you know, what
- 38:26Speaker 3: did we do wrong, let's give credit where credit is due.
- 38:29Speaker 2: He fully took advantage of those opportunities.
- 38:31Speaker 3: I love his college film. I said this for all
- 38:34Speaker 3: the draft stuff that we did that I said he
- 38:36Speaker 3: would be my quarterback of I was picking picking first overall,
- 38:41Speaker 3: just because he has so much arm talent and you
- 38:45Speaker 3: have to defend the entire field. Well, now you add
- 38:48Speaker 3: a football IQ that he clearly has and a calmness
- 38:52Speaker 3: in the pocket. That's a dangerous combination. And so give
- 38:56Speaker 3: him credit. He played outstanding and his throws are just effortless.
- 39:01Speaker 5: I mean he said that last weekend.
- 39:03Speaker 3: You're right, I watched that effortless.
- 39:05Speaker 2: He says all the right things too. He's going to
- 39:07Speaker 2: be a perfect franchise quarterback. I watched some of his availabilities.
- 39:10Speaker 2: He's just talking, you know, talking about making his teammates better.
- 39:12Speaker 3: You watched this press conference last week, yes.
- 39:14Speaker 2: And I was like, I would want this to be
- 39:18Speaker 2: my quarterback. Nothing against Trevor. I'm just saying if that
- 39:20Speaker 2: was my team, I'd be happy with the choice they made. Also,
- 39:23Speaker 2: he was talking, They asked someone innocently asked him about
- 39:25Speaker 2: the Jaguars defense, and he listed off every single starter
- 39:28Speaker 2: on the defense by name and number, and.
- 39:30Speaker 3: He gave him numbers I know, and he told me
- 39:32Speaker 3: you want names.
- 39:33Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 39:35Speaker 3: And by the way, that was on a Wednesday. Okay,
- 39:38Speaker 3: this was not Thursday or and this was not Friday,
- 39:40Speaker 3: which could be Wednesday.
- 39:41Speaker 2: You know, when you're getting ricky quarterbacks, some of the
- 39:43Speaker 2: hardest thing is learning how to study film. And he's
- 39:45Speaker 2: already scouted the team.
- 39:46Speaker 3: I've heard he's a football junkie and he definitely has
- 39:49Speaker 3: football IQ. I know there was a lot of criticism
- 39:52Speaker 3: about around him when he was being drafted and all that,
- 39:55Speaker 3: and I don't know who came up with that, but
- 39:57Speaker 3: that was inaccurate.
- 39:59Speaker 9: You're right, long Haul. I have the same feeling about
- 40:01Speaker 9: him that I had. The Jaguars beat Deshaun Watson when
- 40:04Speaker 9: they first saw him. Remember he played the second half
- 40:06Speaker 9: of the twenty seventeen opener because they had ten sacks
- 40:10Speaker 9: in that game and knocked the other guy out, the
- 40:12Speaker 9: other guy whose name I can't remember. And I had
- 40:16Speaker 9: the answer, great question. He was a kid from pitt Yes,
- 40:19Speaker 9: Dan something or other, and he was just to fill
- 40:22Speaker 9: in until the rookie was ready, and the rookie was
- 40:24Speaker 9: ready in the second half, and DeShawn then we didn't
- 40:26Speaker 9: beat him again, right, I mean, we didn't touch him
- 40:29Speaker 9: again until he left and was suspended.
- 40:32Speaker 3: So but I will say that I'd never had that
- 40:35Speaker 3: feeling with Deshaun Watson, like watching his college film and
- 40:39Speaker 3: then watching him in the pro game, went oh, we
- 40:42Speaker 3: got a long decade here of this guy. When I
- 40:46Speaker 3: watched c J. Stroud, I go, jeez, which is gonna
- 40:50Speaker 3: be some incredible battles Trevor Lawrence versus c J. Strauss. Sure,
- 40:54Speaker 3: because right now, I mean this obviously this is a
- 40:57Speaker 3: quarterback league. It appears that the Jaguars have a quarterback,
- 41:01Speaker 3: Texans now have a quarterback, and the other teams don't.
- 41:05Speaker 9: I like how you say appears, I mean because you
- 41:08Speaker 9: still are waiting. You are still waiting for more evidence.
- 41:10Speaker 3: That's right.
- 41:11Speaker 9: You know, long playing career, long broadcasting career. You want
- 41:14Speaker 9: to see more. What do you want to see more.
- 41:16Speaker 3: Of out of this team or out of c J. Stroud?
- 41:19Speaker 5: No, of this quarterback of Trevor. You want to see
- 41:22Speaker 5: him carry this out.
- 41:23Speaker 3: First of all, a quarterback of the great quarterbacks elevate
- 41:29Speaker 3: everybody around them, everybody.
- 41:31Speaker 5: Which I think he did at the end of last year.
- 41:32Speaker 3: Which they do it in two ways. They do it
- 41:34Speaker 3: by their performance, right, and they also do it by
- 41:38Speaker 3: their leadership. Okay, Okay, in the huddle, in the locker room, set,
- 41:42Speaker 3: in the temple, all season wise, those are what the
- 41:44Speaker 3: great ones do, and it appears that Trevor has done
- 41:48Speaker 3: some of those things. Okay. But here comes the challenge.
- 41:51Speaker 3: And when you're a young player, it's hard to be
- 41:54Speaker 3: a leader because number one, you got to have performance, okay,
- 41:58Speaker 3: and number two, you got to have respect you have performance.
- 42:01Speaker 3: And so Trevor is still in the infancy stages of
- 42:04Speaker 3: being a leader. But that's got to grow, and it
- 42:07Speaker 3: will grow, and it's starting to grow. You can see
- 42:09Speaker 3: that he's more vocal. But there's also got to be
- 42:13Speaker 3: some leadership from elsewhere, okay, and he needs help okay.
- 42:18Speaker 3: And I'm not talking coaching wise, because the greatest leadership
- 42:21Speaker 3: comes from within, okay, because if we're all teammates, okay,
- 42:24Speaker 3: and Kyle, you look at me and say, why aren't
- 42:27Speaker 3: you doing this? And we need I need you to
- 42:28Speaker 3: do X. Okay. I hear that a lot better than
- 42:31Speaker 3: I do. From a coach. Sure, Okay, So the greatest
- 42:34Speaker 3: leadership is always from within, and I see that with Trevor,
- 42:38Speaker 3: and I think that's part of what's missing a little
- 42:41Speaker 3: bit not having Cam Robinson. Cam, even though look, he's
- 42:45Speaker 3: not a top ten tackle in the league.
- 42:48Speaker 5: I mean, he's a top performer, but he's a leader.
- 42:50Speaker 3: You know, And I think that also not having some
- 42:53Speaker 3: of that hurts a little bit. But I think Trevor's
- 42:56Speaker 3: going to be fine, and he's still young and we're
- 42:57Speaker 3: still in the infancy stages of his all right.
- 43:01Speaker 2: Jaguars Happy Hour brought to you by the Saint John's
- 43:03Speaker 2: River Water Management District, Florida's water it's worth saving. Brian's
- 43:07Speaker 2: gonna stick with us. We'll be right back after the break,
- 43:09Speaker 2: do the injury report and get some final thoughts before
- 43:12Speaker 2: the Doug Peterson show.
- 43:19Speaker 10: By hanging on too much of last year like that's over,
- 43:25Speaker 10: it's a long football season. We have a lot of
- 43:27Speaker 10: work to do, that's all we know. Right now, we're
- 43:29Speaker 10: gonna we're gonna put our head down.
- 43:30Speaker 2: We're gonna get to work back here on. Jaguars Happy
- 43:33Speaker 2: Hour brought to you by the Saint John's River Water
- 43:35Speaker 2: Management District, Florida's water is worth savings. Kanyannie Stephen's in
- 43:40Speaker 2: here for JP, Shadick, Jeff Logman as always, Brian Sexton
- 43:42Speaker 2: joining us as well. Quickly gonna do the injury report
- 43:46Speaker 2: now presented by Baptist Health and the Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute,
- 43:49Speaker 2: the official sports medicine provider of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now
- 43:53Speaker 2: we're headed to London, but two of the big names.
- 43:56Speaker 2: There's some people working through some stuff, but the two
- 43:58Speaker 2: names I'm looking at here are gonna be Zajoe who's
- 44:00Speaker 2: did not play last week because of his knee injury,
- 44:02Speaker 2: and then Devin Lloyd, who hurt his thumb or his
- 44:05Speaker 2: hand during the game against the Texans. He missed a
- 44:08Speaker 2: good chunk of that game. We saw a lot of
- 44:09Speaker 2: Chad Muma. He'll probably be a game time decision by
- 44:13Speaker 2: the time we get to Sunday, because they don't know
- 44:15Speaker 2: exactly where that's at yet. And Zay as well. Is Ay's,
- 44:18Speaker 2: you know, at some point probably going to play in London,
- 44:21Speaker 2: but we don't know if that will be against the Falcon.
- 44:23Speaker 9: I don't know that it's very likely this week. Just
- 44:25Speaker 9: the sense I'm getting talking to people, but more likely
- 44:27Speaker 9: to be he'd be ready to go for Buffalo.
- 44:29Speaker 2: How much did they miss him on offense when he
- 44:31Speaker 2: wasn't in there?
- 44:31Speaker 5: That's a great question.
- 44:32Speaker 2: I mean, I know everything was going wrong, so I
- 44:34Speaker 2: don't know if he was going to save the day,
- 44:35Speaker 2: but he don't have to imagine.
- 44:36Speaker 9: That guy at the sticks that makes that clutch catch
- 44:38Speaker 9: that gets things started.
- 44:40Speaker 5: I think they miss him.
- 44:41Speaker 9: And in fact, let me throw this theory at you,
- 44:45Speaker 9: I think Calvin Ridley might be the problem right now.
- 44:48Speaker 9: I think that last year, and I know it was
- 44:50Speaker 9: last year, but you had that rhythm with Kirk Ingram
- 44:52Speaker 9: and Jones and it was working, and it seems to
- 44:55Speaker 9: me like they are forcing it to Calvin, and maybe
- 44:57Speaker 9: they would do better to include Calvin in the med
- 45:00Speaker 9: and not make it Calvin's offense.
- 45:02Speaker 3: I think there's something to be said for that get
- 45:05Speaker 3: back to what worked. But I will say this too,
- 45:07Speaker 3: that when you have what you believe as a great player,
- 45:10Speaker 3: you need to feed a great player. And sometimes you're
- 45:14Speaker 3: going to be a little bit more willing to do that, okay,
- 45:17Speaker 3: because you know he's special.
- 45:18Speaker 9: But if you're trying to get back to some efficiency,
- 45:22Speaker 9: right I mean the third down numbers are abysmal.
- 45:24Speaker 3: Yes, if you're.
- 45:25Speaker 9: Trying to just at one point, I look down and
- 45:27Speaker 9: they were seven of twenty nine for the season in
- 45:29Speaker 9: the third quarter of this game and I went seven
- 45:31Speaker 9: for twenty nine. Holy hell. That explains a lot. And
- 45:34Speaker 9: if you just want to get back to an efficiency
- 45:36Speaker 9: where you stay on the field, you know what, if
- 45:37Speaker 9: you're just you go back to what really worked well
- 45:40Speaker 9: and then oh they're paying attention to this over the
- 45:44Speaker 9: top to Calvin, I'm over simplifying.
- 45:45Speaker 5: I know.
- 45:46Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to go back to the Day's Jones
- 45:49Speaker 3: thing here just for a minute. Because when you look
- 45:52Speaker 3: at that wide receiver room and we always say this
- 45:54Speaker 3: is a talented group, the.
- 45:56Speaker 5: Leader is a totally right, totally.
- 45:59Speaker 3: Who's the best, best double move wide receiver they have? Okay,
- 46:04Speaker 3: so do you need them?
- 46:06Speaker 11: Yeah?
- 46:07Speaker 3: I mean, look, look you want like well, I was
- 46:08Speaker 3: just saying, you know you want leaders, right, I mean
- 46:10Speaker 3: there's a leader that you didn't have, you know, for
- 46:12Speaker 3: this past game on the field, so you want to
- 46:15Speaker 3: have him back. Now what it looks like when he
- 46:18Speaker 3: comes back, or what it looks like this week? Okay,
- 46:20Speaker 3: with Calvin Ridley, there's got to be a comfort level
- 46:24Speaker 3: with the quarterback. And when I say that, there's got
- 46:27Speaker 3: to be a comfort level that he feels confident and
- 46:29Speaker 3: that he's going to make the right decisions and make
- 46:32Speaker 3: him quick. And it doesn't necessarily have to be forcing
- 46:35Speaker 3: it to one particular individual, right it can be feeding
- 46:38Speaker 3: the ball around. But then in certain situations, in certain situations,
- 46:43Speaker 3: calculated risk wise, you're going to force it to a
- 46:45Speaker 3: guy because you believe in them. But right now, I think,
- 46:48Speaker 3: if I'm Trevor, I'm just thinking out loud here, if
- 46:51Speaker 3: I'm Trevor, do I trust Calvin Ridley yet to where
- 46:54Speaker 3: I'm going to force the ball?
- 46:56Speaker 2: Sure seems like he does.
- 46:57Speaker 3: I mean he has, but are you going to trust
- 47:00Speaker 3: him this week?
- 47:01Speaker 2: I don't know. At certain point doesn't wear out because
- 47:03Speaker 2: I thought it was going to take a while for
- 47:05Speaker 2: them to get on the same page, because I didn't
- 47:07Speaker 2: believe that Trevor was going to trust him rut of
- 47:09Speaker 2: the gate. But from what I've seen, he goes to
- 47:10Speaker 2: him in double coverage whenever he's you know, and obviously
- 47:13Speaker 2: we've seen Calvin do crazy things. He's seen the same thing,
- 47:15Speaker 2: but he seems to be going to him more than
- 47:17Speaker 2: he's going to, you know, maybe his safety blanket.
- 47:19Speaker 5: That's why, Yeah, that's why I asked the question.
- 47:21Speaker 9: I just you know, last year, it didn't matter, was
- 47:23Speaker 9: it Ingram, was it Zay, was it Kirk. He seemed
- 47:26Speaker 9: comfortable throwing to all of them. And this year he
- 47:29Speaker 9: just my perspective, he just doesn't seem as comfortable as
- 47:32Speaker 9: he was. I'd like to see them lean back in
- 47:35Speaker 9: the direction of Kirk, Zay when he's there and Ingram,
- 47:38Speaker 9: and then take your shot to Calvin until he's.
- 47:41Speaker 3: Comfortable with I think there's something to be said for that.
- 47:43Speaker 3: But but if I'm Trevor again, I'm gonna say this,
- 47:47Speaker 3: If I'm Trevor, I lost a little confidence in Calvin Ary. Yeah,
- 47:50Speaker 3: the ball was I'm not necessarily going to be willing
- 47:53Speaker 3: to force a ball right as I was before.
- 47:56Speaker 2: And I don't think before he had lost confidence in
- 47:58Speaker 2: any of the other guys. I think it was just
- 47:59Speaker 2: like Calvin was the shiny new toy, and I think
- 48:01Speaker 2: that's kind of why he was going there. But I
- 48:03Speaker 2: think you might be right. I think they might shift away,
- 48:05Speaker 2: and for what it's worth, I don't want to speak
- 48:07Speaker 2: for Calvin, but he seems to me a little bit
- 48:09Speaker 2: to be you know, when he's hot, he's hot, and
- 48:11Speaker 2: right now he's not. So let's wait until he gets
- 48:14Speaker 2: himself back into this and then start feeding.
- 48:16Speaker 3: He earns his way back a little. I mean, there's
- 48:18Speaker 3: two guys that if I'm Trevor right now, I'm a
- 48:20Speaker 3: little hesitant to throw the ball to maybe three.
- 48:22Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 48:23Speaker 3: Calvin, Yeah, probably gonna not be as excited to throw
- 48:26Speaker 3: the ball his way. Tang Bigsby.
- 48:29Speaker 5: Oh, I wouldn't throw to him again.
- 48:30Speaker 3: Okay, he bounced off his hands.
- 48:33Speaker 2: He's not for throwing. Hey, just send him down the middle.
- 48:36Speaker 3: Yeah. And Jamal, Yeah, Jamal. A'm not gonna throw to Jamal.
- 48:40Speaker 3: He's fumbled a couple of times.
- 48:41Speaker 9: Three fumbles in his last four games, which, again I
- 48:44Speaker 9: point and go, that just doesn't seem like, you know,
- 48:47Speaker 9: he was making plays last year.
- 48:49Speaker 5: That's part of the whole off.
- 48:51Speaker 6: You know.
- 48:52Speaker 5: I can't put my finger on him. What is that?
- 48:54Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 48:55Speaker 9: But I look at at Trevor right now and think,
- 48:59Speaker 9: not Trevor. I look at Calvin right now and I
- 49:01Speaker 9: think maybe he's a little over anxious. He talked about
- 49:03Speaker 9: wanting his name back, so he has something to prove.
- 49:06Speaker 9: He's on a one year deal essentially, and he wants
- 49:08Speaker 9: to get paid like receivers get paid. I wonder if
- 49:11Speaker 9: there's a little anxiety there, like I have got to
- 49:13Speaker 9: be the star right now, and maybe they don't need
- 49:16Speaker 9: to just calm him down a little bit. You know,
- 49:18Speaker 9: we all know some people in Atlanta who cover the Falcons,
- 49:21Speaker 9: and they said he tends to get that way, he
- 49:23Speaker 9: tends to get anxious, and they might need to just
- 49:26Speaker 9: calm him down again. I mean, I'm not talking about
- 49:29Speaker 9: third down percentage of talking about someone's feelings. It's hard
- 49:31Speaker 9: to say that unless he sits here and says, yeah,
- 49:33Speaker 9: I'm anxious about it.
- 49:34Speaker 5: But you get what I'm.
- 49:35Speaker 3: Saying, right not, I totally get it.
- 49:36Speaker 2: He's been through a lot. It's completely understandable.
- 49:38Speaker 5: And he said totally.
- 49:39Speaker 2: He's in a new setting as well. We were just expecting, oh,
- 49:41Speaker 2: he'll just be this all star right out of the gate.
- 49:44Speaker 5: Do you know where he got me?
- 49:44Speaker 9: In our first preseason television production meeting before the Dallas game,
- 49:49Speaker 9: he was the first one in and I'm sitting there
- 49:51Speaker 9: with Bucky and he looks at me, he goes, you know,
- 49:53Speaker 9: how good I am don't you, And I said, well,
- 49:55Speaker 9: I think he goes, oh no, no, no, I'm really good,
- 49:59Speaker 9: and I went, I like this guy, right, I want
- 50:02Speaker 9: to see that Calvin right clearly at this moment he
- 50:06Speaker 9: isn't feeling that. Hopefully he does at some point in
- 50:08Speaker 9: near future, because then I think you have that explosive
- 50:11Speaker 9: combination that we all.
- 50:12Speaker 5: Always looks to see this year.
- 50:14Speaker 2: All right, Brian, thank you for joining us.
- 50:15Speaker 5: That's it.
- 50:16Speaker 2: That's it for today. Jeff Logovan Conati Stephens here. When
- 50:20Speaker 2: we return the Jaguars Network coverage of the Doug Peterson
- 50:24Speaker 2: Show coming up, We're going to talk to Doug before
- 50:25Speaker 2: we jet off to London. Thank you for listening in
- 50:28Speaker 2: its Jaguars Happy Hour.
- 50:52Speaker 12: Welcome to the Doug Peterson Show, brought you by Fresh
- 50:56Speaker 12: from Florida.
- 50:59Speaker 6: JT.
- 50:59Speaker 12: Schaffrick conformer Jaguar Jeff Logoman discuss the latest Jaguars news
- 51:04Speaker 12: with the head coach. That Doug Peterson Show starts right now.
- 51:09Speaker 2: Welcome into the Doug Peterson Show. I'm kind of Honnie
- 51:11Speaker 2: Steven's filling in for J. P. Shaddrick who abandoned us
- 51:14Speaker 2: for London early. Jeff Logoman still here and Doug Peterson.
- 51:16Speaker 2: Of course, good to see you, coach.
- 51:17Speaker 6: Good to see you guys.
- 51:18Speaker 5: Thank you, coach.
- 51:19Speaker 2: Are you a last second packer like me or did
- 51:21Speaker 2: you already have stuff ready to go earlier this week?
- 51:23Speaker 2: Because we've been talking about this, there's two strategies, and
- 51:25Speaker 2: I am the last second person.
- 51:26Speaker 7: I'm last second. I'm last second. I spent about an
- 51:30Speaker 7: hour and a half last night late putting my stuff
- 51:34Speaker 7: in the back, you know, because for us it's different
- 51:36Speaker 7: because I get to just kind.
- 51:37Speaker 2: Of where true.
- 51:40Speaker 7: Yeah, really, it's hard for me to pack on this trip,
- 51:42Speaker 7: you know, because I don't know what I really need.
- 51:44Speaker 6: But that was really easy. It was last minute.
- 51:47Speaker 2: Coach, You're going for two games this year, which is
- 51:49Speaker 2: a little bit different. I know they have all the
- 51:51Speaker 2: operations set for that, but what's the mental kind of
- 51:54Speaker 2: that goes into that, and is it kind of like
- 51:56Speaker 2: joint practices? How do you look at it?
- 51:58Speaker 7: Well, for us, you know, with the Jaguar organizations, we've
- 52:02Speaker 7: done this for many years now, and obviously I've been
- 52:05Speaker 7: over there about three times and you know last year
- 52:08Speaker 7: we were there and we do I tell you what,
- 52:11Speaker 7: We've got a great team of people behind the scenes
- 52:13Speaker 7: that really put this trip on and really make it
- 52:16Speaker 7: easy for us as a football team to get over there,
- 52:19Speaker 7: you know, and we have to treat it just like
- 52:21Speaker 7: we're here in Jacksonville, you know, on a daily basis.
- 52:24Speaker 7: You know, this first game, we get the bulk of
- 52:25Speaker 7: our work done, you know, Wednesday, Thursday before we get
- 52:28Speaker 7: on the plane, and then we got one day over
- 52:29Speaker 7: there Friday and you know, a little review, we play Sunday,
- 52:32Speaker 7: and then the following week.
- 52:34Speaker 6: We just keep it as normal as possible. You know.
- 52:37Speaker 7: I do want the guys to kind of enjoy, you know,
- 52:39Speaker 7: their time in London since we're going to be there
- 52:41Speaker 7: for about ten days and and get some time to relax.
- 52:44Speaker 7: We'll have a day off, you know, after the game,
- 52:47Speaker 7: but after that it's it's back to work and coaches
- 52:50Speaker 7: will be game planning and and try to keep it
- 52:52Speaker 7: as normal as I can as if we were here
- 52:54Speaker 7: in Jacksonville.
- 52:55Speaker 3: Now. You guys have a great setup over there. And
- 52:58Speaker 3: the challenge of this is that the second game, because
- 53:01Speaker 3: you're going to be moving from one location to another.
- 53:05Speaker 3: Was talking to George down the equipment room and and
- 53:08Speaker 3: they're shipping containers out over there because you're at a
- 53:10Speaker 3: different location and uh and then there was also a
- 53:14Speaker 3: shipment that was airshipped over there this week. I mean,
- 53:16Speaker 3: it's amazing the logistics that go into this.
- 53:18Speaker 7: Yeah, just to get you know, an NFL football team
- 53:21Speaker 7: over there, and for all the teams that go over,
- 53:23Speaker 7: you know, I think about Atlanta having to go over
- 53:25Speaker 7: and then of course.
- 53:25Speaker 6: Buffalo the next week.
- 53:26Speaker 7: And of course for us, yeah, we we we you know,
- 53:30Speaker 7: spend a lot of time ahead of time preparing for
- 53:33Speaker 7: this and shipping a lot of equipment and gear and
- 53:34Speaker 7: things like that over there.
- 53:35Speaker 6: And you know, and and and like I said, it's
- 53:38Speaker 6: it makes it easy on us.
- 53:39Speaker 7: We just we just kind of show up and and
- 53:41Speaker 7: sort of plug and play, as they say, and and
- 53:46Speaker 7: you know it it it it makes it nice, It
- 53:48Speaker 7: makes it easy.
- 53:49Speaker 6: It makes it simple.
- 53:51Speaker 7: But at the same time, our main main goal and
- 53:52Speaker 7: focus is to play, you know, to play a football game.
- 53:55Speaker 3: Well, and a big football game coming up against an
- 53:57Speaker 3: Atlanta Falcons team that did pretty well the first two weeks.
- 54:01Speaker 3: Struggle a little bit offensively against the Detroit lines, but
- 54:04Speaker 3: that's a good football team that offensively they got a
- 54:07Speaker 3: really good running back and a really good rushing attack.
- 54:09Speaker 7: They really do and they're you know, and that's kind
- 54:12Speaker 7: of how they are built and how they how they
- 54:14Speaker 7: operate writers.
- 54:14Speaker 6: Through the run game, and.
- 54:17Speaker 7: You know, they got an excellent tight end who can
- 54:19Speaker 7: beat you, a very athletic guy. And you know, you
- 54:21Speaker 7: look at the defensive side of the ball too. This
- 54:23Speaker 7: is a physical kind of an athletic group. They're they're
- 54:26Speaker 7: an older, veteran group. At the same time, they want
- 54:28Speaker 7: to anyway on film, it looks like they want to
- 54:32Speaker 7: impose their will and their physicality, you know, especially with
- 54:34Speaker 7: the offensive line. So you know, we have to be
- 54:37Speaker 7: in the right frame of mind. We've talked all week
- 54:39Speaker 7: about being a physical game. Defensively, stopping the run and
- 54:43Speaker 7: controlling that because they are controlling the ball for almost
- 54:45Speaker 7: thirty minutes you know, average time of possession, so you know,
- 54:49Speaker 7: and then offensively, we've got to make sure that when
- 54:51Speaker 7: we do have the ball that we're doing the most
- 54:53Speaker 7: of it. We can't turn it over. We have to
- 54:55Speaker 7: score you know, touchdowns, field goals, things of that nature,
- 54:58Speaker 7: and play for sixty men.
- 55:00Speaker 2: Doug mixed results against rookie quarterbacks so far this year.
- 55:03Speaker 2: Obviously Anthony Richardson and then c J. Stroud. I know,
- 55:05Speaker 2: Desmond Rider played some last year, but this is kind
- 55:07Speaker 2: of his first full season going what have you seen
- 55:09Speaker 2: from him on tape and what do you expect to
- 55:11Speaker 2: see from him on Sunday.
- 55:12Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, it's it's interesting how many young quarterbacks
- 55:16Speaker 7: were facing here early in the season. And uh, you know,
- 55:20Speaker 7: one of the things that with with Atlanta and with
- 55:23Speaker 7: Desmond Ritter, they're there with all these young quarterbacks. They
- 55:26Speaker 7: do a great job as a staff to kind of
- 55:28Speaker 7: protect these guys. They're not putting them out there and
- 55:30Speaker 7: really exposing them to too much and and really just
- 55:33Speaker 7: using their strengths right and and letting the run game
- 55:37Speaker 7: really handle a lot of things for these guys. And
- 55:39Speaker 7: then the passing game is is a lot of play action,
- 55:42Speaker 7: a little movement, you know, high percentage type completions where
- 55:45Speaker 7: the ball's coming out of their hands and are not
- 55:47Speaker 7: having to process a lot of information.
- 55:48Speaker 6: And and he's been doing a good job with that.
- 55:50Speaker 7: And you know, you try to get these guys into
- 55:53Speaker 7: the into the third down world where where you can
- 55:56Speaker 7: create some exotic fronts, you can you can do some overloads,
- 55:58Speaker 7: you can pressure and try to disguise some coverages and
- 56:01Speaker 7: try to you know, affect their eyes just a little bit.
- 56:05Speaker 7: Young quarterbacks tend to you know, rush things or get
- 56:08Speaker 7: through their progressions too fast and the ball comes out.
- 56:10Speaker 6: But you know, I thought c J.
- 56:13Speaker 7: Stroud last last week did a nice job of that.
- 56:15Speaker 7: He handled that extremely well. But again, coaches put him
- 56:18Speaker 7: in a position to be successful, and that's what you
- 56:20Speaker 7: expect this week as well.
- 56:21Speaker 3: Yeah, watching him his film looks like he holds the
- 56:24Speaker 3: ball at times, and so started going back. I did
- 56:29Speaker 3: looked at some of his statistics from college at Cincinnati.
- 56:32Speaker 3: It's amazing. The guy ran the ball over five hundred
- 56:34Speaker 3: times at Cincinnati. I mean, so this is a guy
- 56:36Speaker 3: that's capable of running.
- 56:38Speaker 7: He is very capable of running, and that's something that
- 56:40Speaker 7: we have to, you know, pay attention to. You know,
- 56:42Speaker 7: it's the one one position on the field defensively that
- 56:45Speaker 7: sometimes you don't account for as a runners, the quarterback,
- 56:47Speaker 7: and so we got to make sure that we do
- 56:49Speaker 7: a good job there. And of course, as you mentioned,
- 56:51Speaker 7: they got a couple of running backs that are the
- 56:53Speaker 7: NB John Robinson. I think it's going to be an
- 56:54Speaker 7: excellent running back in this league for a long time.
- 56:56Speaker 7: And he's very talented. He got some speed the physicality,
- 57:00Speaker 7: so you know, it's it's a it's a it's a
- 57:04Speaker 7: full team effort, you know, come Sunday.
- 57:07Speaker 2: On the defensive side of the ball, Atlanta spent some
- 57:09Speaker 2: money in the off season. They I think I have
- 57:11Speaker 2: seven new starters on defense something like that this year.
- 57:13Speaker 2: Familiar phrase to Jaguars fans. Kalais Campbell, a bunch of
- 57:15Speaker 2: other names there. What do you look at defensively? They're
- 57:18Speaker 2: doing better than projected from what we've seen so far.
- 57:21Speaker 7: You know, ran Nielson came over from New Orleans, their decordinator,
- 57:24Speaker 7: and he brought a little bit of that you know,
- 57:26Speaker 7: Dennis Allen style of defense over there. And and and
- 57:30Speaker 7: you're seeing that with you know, with Atlanta, this is
- 57:32Speaker 7: a physical group. You know, Grady Jarrett's one of the
- 57:35Speaker 7: more quick twitch as a nose tackle interior d Lineman,
- 57:39Speaker 7: quick twitch, fast, a great leader, get off the ball
- 57:42Speaker 7: type guy. You know, Bud Dupree and Kalais on the outside.
- 57:46Speaker 7: These two guys are just a lot of experience right there.
- 57:49Speaker 7: And they you know, Bud can still move and we
- 57:51Speaker 7: we know him from playing in Tennessee. And you know
- 57:53Speaker 7: Kalais Is Kalais.
- 57:54Speaker 6: He's he's a team leader. He's got some energy, you
- 57:57Speaker 6: see it, you know.
- 57:58Speaker 7: And then on the back end they went out and
- 58:00Speaker 7: Bates is back there in a safety position, and and you.
- 58:03Speaker 6: Know, Arrell's a corner.
- 58:05Speaker 7: He's is a guy that you know has been there,
- 58:07Speaker 7: and he's you know, a kind of a veteran, young
- 58:10Speaker 7: veteran guy that really has done some nice things.
- 58:14Speaker 6: And and this this group.
- 58:17Speaker 7: One of the things you see on film too, is
- 58:19Speaker 7: they're a game plan team that is going to scheme
- 58:23Speaker 7: you differently than.
- 58:24Speaker 6: They played the week before.
- 58:25Speaker 7: Right, So what we saw against Green Bay or Carolina
- 58:28Speaker 7: or even Detroit might even be a little bit.
- 58:30Speaker 6: Different against us.
- 58:31Speaker 7: It's just just the way he you know, he handles
- 58:33Speaker 7: his his game plan. So you know, we look at everything.
- 58:37Speaker 7: We go back and even watch some New Orleans tape,
- 58:39Speaker 7: you know, when he was there, and and really get
- 58:41Speaker 7: a feel for for how he's going to try to
- 58:42Speaker 7: defend us.
- 58:43Speaker 3: How important is it for you guys on offense to
- 58:47Speaker 3: have some positive things happen early in that ball game,
- 58:50Speaker 3: to snowball in the positive direction.
- 58:53Speaker 6: It's a must.
- 58:54Speaker 7: I mean, you go back to last week, we dropped
- 58:56Speaker 7: the touchdown pass, you know early on the on the
- 58:58Speaker 7: opening drive. Then of course we you know, I miss
- 59:01Speaker 7: the field goal, so we gave up points right there,
- 59:03Speaker 7: right away. And those things are those are game changers.
- 59:06Speaker 7: When you go down the field and score on that
- 59:08Speaker 7: opening possession, it changes, It changes your attitude on the sideline,
- 59:11Speaker 7: your demeanor. Defense goes out, and of course defense has
- 59:14Speaker 7: been going out and getting off the field extremely early.
- 59:18Speaker 7: But what happened last week is it compounded. Right, we
- 59:21Speaker 7: missed a touchdown, missed the field goal, they go down
- 59:23Speaker 7: and score, miscommunication in the back end. Those are the
- 59:26Speaker 7: things that you know, we can't we can't let happen.
- 59:30Speaker 7: Those are the mistakes and the mental areas that we're
- 59:32Speaker 7: trying to clean up right now. And you know, for us,
- 59:35Speaker 7: it's a matter of offensively, we got to take care of
- 59:37Speaker 7: the football. You know, again, we know that Atlanta is
- 59:39Speaker 7: a ball controlled, possession type team, and every time we
- 59:42Speaker 7: get the ball offensively, again, we got to make sure
- 59:45Speaker 7: that that we're scoring and doing the things that we
- 59:47Speaker 7: need to do.
- 59:47Speaker 6: We got to take care of the football.
- 59:49Speaker 7: Can't turn it over, and you know, that's kind of
- 59:52Speaker 7: been our achilles heel, you know, the last two weeks.
- 59:54Speaker 7: And so those are things that we're working on fixing
- 59:57Speaker 7: and you know, you know, see you know Sunday exactly
- 1:00:01Speaker 7: exactly how that that.
- 1:00:02Speaker 2: Plays out, Doug, You've coached for a long time. I
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: know after the game last week there was you know,
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: just a lot of question marks because the team kind
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: of beating themselves. Does that make it harder to coach
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: them when you know they're good and they're just making
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: silly mistakes? Or is it more difficult because you know
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: what they're capable of.
- 1:00:17Speaker 6: You know, it's it's a little of both. And you know,
- 1:00:20Speaker 6: I was, I was very.
- 1:00:23Speaker 7: I was really disappointed last last week after that game,
- 1:00:26Speaker 7: probably probably the most disappointed I've been as a head coach,
- 1:00:30Speaker 7: you know, with a football team, because it was all
- 1:00:31Speaker 7: three phases. It wasn't just the defense or the offense,
- 1:00:34Speaker 7: or it was all three phases. We had a hand
- 1:00:37Speaker 7: in that loss last week. And you know, of course,
- 1:00:40Speaker 7: as a head coach, you look at a lot of
- 1:00:42Speaker 7: different things, right, and you try to put a finger
- 1:00:45Speaker 7: on it. But at the same time you got to
- 1:00:47Speaker 7: realize too, you know, the sun comes up on Monday,
- 1:00:49Speaker 7: and it's not as bad as you think. We're We're
- 1:00:52Speaker 7: really close in a lot of areas. We're making a
- 1:00:55Speaker 7: lot of silly mistakes, and some of it is obviously
- 1:00:58Speaker 7: very fixable and correctable, and and and it's really keep
- 1:01:01Speaker 7: I keep harping.
- 1:01:03Speaker 6: With the guys.
- 1:01:03Speaker 7: It's always going to be about us and what we
- 1:01:05Speaker 7: do in our preparation and the things that we put
- 1:01:10Speaker 7: into the week and you know, work to win our
- 1:01:13Speaker 7: mantra is our process. It's our process, you know, from
- 1:01:17Speaker 7: from Monday through Saturday, right up until game time on Sunday.
- 1:01:20Speaker 6: So you know, we just got to get back to that,
- 1:01:22Speaker 6: get get focused in on that.
- 1:01:25Speaker 7: I think this was an eye opener for our football
- 1:01:27Speaker 7: team for a lot of players obviously, and look for
- 1:01:30Speaker 7: a better, better performance this.
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: Weekend, hopefully a point to move forward from Doug. Thanks
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: for joining us. We'll see you in London. We'll be
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: right back with Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
- 1:01:42Speaker 12: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
- 1:01:47Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:01:47Speaker 11: I think you stay through to the division, understand that
- 1:01:50Speaker 11: the vision will take care of all the work. When
- 1:01:52Speaker 11: you understand where you're going, you know what roles won't
- 1:01:54Speaker 11: take you there. So I think for us it's just
- 1:01:55Speaker 11: about you know, keeping the vision in mind and not
- 1:01:57Speaker 11: letting you know, a loss here, laws there, take leave
- 1:02:01Speaker 11: off track, stay disciplined, and you know it's it's a
- 1:02:05Speaker 11: simple game. You know when you do things right. You know,
- 1:02:07Speaker 11: you overcomplicate things when you, you know, put yourself in
- 1:02:10Speaker 11: positions that you don't practice, things that we don't coach
- 1:02:13Speaker 11: and then don't communicate. It makes things like yesterday happened.
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Doug Peterson Show, presented by Fresh
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: from Florida from the Hyundai Studios at the Miller Electric
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: Center KA. Nannie Stevens in for j P. Shadrick. Jeff
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: just got to talk to Doug and now we're heading
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: to London later on tonight. Did you pack everything already?
- 1:02:33Speaker 9: You're late?
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: Are you a late packer or do you try to
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: pre pack?
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: Well, I know we had to prepack, you know, so unfortunately,
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: but I'm not a prepacker for them.
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: You were Wednesday night like getting everything.
- 1:02:43Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, it's gotta be double checking bags tomorrow.
- 1:02:46Speaker 3: So I'm gonna pack my bags tonight. Yeah, I'm not.
- 1:02:49Speaker 3: I'm not one of those guys like my wife. Oh,
- 1:02:51Speaker 3: she'll pack days in advance.
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: She's good at that. I'm so bad.
- 1:02:55Speaker 3: I can't do that.
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: I gotta do laundry, and then I'm like throwing everything
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: in last second. I'm stressed, and then I tried to
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: this time leave a little bit of space because I
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: know I'm going to buy stuff, probably because we're for
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: like ten days now.
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: Well, and what's very different is in the past it's
- 1:03:08Speaker 3: been I think the longest time we were there. One
- 1:03:10Speaker 3: year we flew right to London right after a game
- 1:03:14Speaker 3: on Sunday that was home. And then one year we
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: did it right after a game in Cincinnati. And so
- 1:03:19Speaker 3: the longest time we've spent over there has been basically
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: a week, and now you're talking about two games ten days.
- 1:03:25Speaker 3: So a little different for this football team, different for us,
- 1:03:30Speaker 3: for staff, et cetera, just because you're packing for a
- 1:03:34Speaker 3: little longer and hopefully there are some facilities where we
- 1:03:36Speaker 3: can wash clothes. But for the players, they're wearing football
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: stuff for the most fine, and they've got a great setup.
- 1:03:44Speaker 3: I will say that of all the years that the
- 1:03:47Speaker 3: Jaguars have been going over since I think twenty thirteen,
- 1:03:50Speaker 3: maybe the first year it was or whatever it was,
- 1:03:52Speaker 3: they haven't figured out. Homs and his staff do an
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: amazing job and the facility that they have typically stayed
- 1:04:00Speaker 3: at for the last number of years is called the Grove.
- 1:04:02Speaker 3: It's awesome setup. The players literally have great hotel. It's
- 1:04:08Speaker 3: got grounds where the football field is at. They've got
- 1:04:10Speaker 3: a workout room, weight room under a tent, and they
- 1:04:14Speaker 3: can walk out of the hotel literally right to the
- 1:04:16Speaker 3: practice field and then the food hall and everything is
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: right there. It's a perfect setup. But this year it's
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: a little different. So you have that set up for
- 1:04:25Speaker 3: the first week and it's your home game against the
- 1:04:27Speaker 3: Atlanta Falcons, but then after that you go somewhere else.
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: Yes, I think it's because the home team gets to
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: pick where they go, right And yeah, I think the
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills wanted the good setup.
- 1:04:38Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know exactly why, but it's that it's
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: a little bit different. And then also two games back
- 1:04:46Speaker 3: to back will be a little bit different from from
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: the player's standpoint, But the organization does it first class.
- 1:04:52Speaker 3: You know, the players have every kind of amenity that
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: they need, so it's not like they're going over there
- 1:04:59Speaker 3: in the rough and they're without all the great things
- 1:05:03Speaker 3: that they have here. Obviously, they don't have the Miller Electric.
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: Center, true, not that.
- 1:05:07Speaker 3: No, not to that level, but it's good. Nonetheless, have you.
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: Ever traveled like, I don't know if you're playing days, like,
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: you know, some teams will go to California and they'll
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: stay out there for if they have back to back
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: games or the West Coast anything like, did you ever
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: do anything like that for your career? Because I'm curious
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: trying to stay there for as long as we're going
- 1:05:24Speaker 2: to be there for these two games and then come
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: back what that might be like.
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: Yeah, the coming back part is it could be.
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: Tough because you'll be acclimated to you know, the five
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: hour time difference.
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: For me, it's it's always I've always had an easier
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: time going west than going east. Okay, okay, because when
- 1:05:41Speaker 3: you go west, you just stay up a little bit
- 1:05:43Speaker 3: later and then you go to bed and or you
- 1:05:46Speaker 3: can even go to bed a little bit earlier and
- 1:05:47Speaker 3: you get a little extra sleep. When you go east,
- 1:05:51Speaker 3: you get all discomputed. It's messed up, yeah, because you're
- 1:05:54Speaker 3: going back and it's tomorrow. Well wait a minute, it's
- 1:05:56Speaker 3: not tomorrow. It's still tonight, but it's tomorrow. Yeah, you know,
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: so it's a little bit different from that aspect of it,
- 1:06:03Speaker 3: but never as a player, never really had to go
- 1:06:06Speaker 3: to California and stay there for a long period of time.
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: But have gone out to the West Coast many times early,
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: you know, on a Thursday or even on a Friday,
- 1:06:15Speaker 3: with the opportunity to acclimate to a West Coast time.
- 1:06:20Speaker 3: And I hated that. I never liked going out early.
- 1:06:23Speaker 3: I'd rather just fly into a game. But London is
- 1:06:26Speaker 3: very different. But it's what's incredible is that over the
- 1:06:29Speaker 3: years they've done sleep studies. They have it down to
- 1:06:33Speaker 3: a science. When I say they have it down to
- 1:06:35Speaker 3: a science, they have it down to science from a
- 1:06:37Speaker 3: logistical standpoint, getting everything over there that they need to
- 1:06:41Speaker 3: but then also from a performance football player standpoint. They've
- 1:06:46Speaker 3: done sleep studies, They've done diet studies. What's the best
- 1:06:49Speaker 3: way to have your What do you do on the plane?
- 1:06:55Speaker 3: Do you try to sleep the whole way? Do you
- 1:06:57Speaker 3: take a sleeping pill, do you hydrate? Do you eat?
- 1:07:00Speaker 3: You know when you get there? You know when you
- 1:07:03Speaker 3: get there. Okay, what's the best thing to do? And
- 1:07:05Speaker 3: now they got it where they fly through the night Thursday,
- 1:07:08Speaker 3: get as much sleep as you can and you get there,
- 1:07:10Speaker 3: go right to the practice. Field and then let the
- 1:07:12Speaker 3: players get a nap if they need to on Friday afternoon,
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: and then let them have a little bit of free
- 1:07:18Speaker 3: time on Friday night, and then you know, Saturday, you
- 1:07:21Speaker 3: get back to work.
- 1:07:22Speaker 2: Do you alter it when you come back a little bit?
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: What have they done in the past? Is Monday maybe
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: a day off because we fly back right after the
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: game the second game?
- 1:07:28Speaker 3: Yeah, and you get back late Sunday night.
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: Yep, and then kind of give that a day off
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: instead of what you normally do on Monday.
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:07:34Speaker 3: And I think again, it's easier going west, so it's
- 1:07:36Speaker 3: easier coming back. But at the same token, you still
- 1:07:40Speaker 3: have to be able to recoup because you're talking about
- 1:07:43Speaker 3: spending what is it seven eight hours in the air
- 1:07:46Speaker 3: on an airplane. It's never easy traveling whether you go
- 1:07:50Speaker 3: east or west. I'd rather go, like I said, west.
- 1:07:55Speaker 3: But when you have so much new, okay new traveling
- 1:08:00Speaker 3: to London, having a game, changing hotels, another game which
- 1:08:05Speaker 3: has never been done before, and then traveling back in
- 1:08:07Speaker 3: and getting right back into game mode again, and then
- 1:08:10Speaker 3: a short week after that first game back, it's different.
- 1:08:14Speaker 3: It's different. It'll be a challenge, and that's why you
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: want to make sure that you try to get back
- 1:08:19Speaker 3: to performing well this first week against the Falcons, because
- 1:08:23Speaker 3: if you don't play well this week, there's other challenges
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: that are associated with the next week and then the
- 1:08:30Speaker 3: week after that.
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: There are other hurdles. But as we said, they've got
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: it down pretty good, and it's gonna be ten games
- 1:08:36Speaker 2: now that they've played in London, so that'll be pretty
- 1:08:38Speaker 2: impressive and we'll have two in a row this year.

- 1:08:49Speaker 2: going to London, let's talk Falcons. When we get back,
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: we're gonna preview this week's matchup against Atlanta right here
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: on the Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio.
- 1:08:58Speaker 12: Welcome back. Peterson Show continues right now.
- 1:09:04Speaker 13: So Jacksman, like like you just brought it up, they're
- 1:09:06Speaker 13: a team that's gonna come in this game desperate because
- 1:09:10Speaker 13: they got a really good coaching staff and they got
- 1:09:12Speaker 13: a good team, a talented player team. That's right, They've
- 1:09:15Speaker 13: invested in essentially, you know, four pass catchers in the quarterback.
- 1:09:19Speaker 13: They took number one and a good player and they
- 1:09:21Speaker 13: played well at in the last season, and we got
- 1:09:25Speaker 13: gotta play real well.
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Doug Peterson Show, presented by fresh
- 1:09:30Speaker 2: from Florida Kindannie Stevens here with Jeff Logman. That was
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: Art Smith, Falcons head coach. They're in a tough spot too.
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: They just had a tough loss to the to the
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: Detroit Lions and or both of these teams are going
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: to be kind of desperate going into this needing this
- 1:09:43Speaker 2: win and never good win. Both teams are desperate because
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: you don't know what's gonna happen. But hopefully the Jaguars
- 1:09:49Speaker 2: are the good kind of desperate where they get back
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: on track and don't just try to play crazy.
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: This is gonna be a challenging game. And Atlanta Falcons
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: came out and nobody gave them any respect, and then
- 1:10:01Speaker 3: they opened the season up with two wins too and oho.
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: And what's scary about the Atlanta Falcons is that they've
- 1:10:07Speaker 3: got some serious skill position players and a really good
- 1:10:11Speaker 3: offensive line that will challenge the Jaguars defensively. The one
- 1:10:17Speaker 3: position that's a little bit unsettled which most people are like,
- 1:10:21Speaker 3: that's a big question mark. Is Desmond Ritter the quarterback,
- 1:10:25Speaker 3: but there's no doubting Bijon Robinson the running back from Texas,
- 1:10:29Speaker 3: who they drafted very high. They've got arguably the most
- 1:10:33Speaker 3: talented tight end. Kyle Pitts is a freak freak, an
- 1:10:37Speaker 3: absolute freak of a tight end. Drake London excellent player
- 1:10:42Speaker 3: offensive line, two really good tackles, both of them veteran guys.
- 1:10:46Speaker 3: They've got a highly rated center, arguably one of the
- 1:10:49Speaker 3: best guards in football in Chris Littram, Noah's uncle. Very well.
- 1:10:54Speaker 3: But this is a challenge this week, and the Jaguars
- 1:10:59Speaker 3: Allen will be challenged as well because the Falcons aren't
- 1:11:02Speaker 3: giving up a lot of points.
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: They are not, and we're trying to get our offense
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: back on track, so that could be troublesome.
- 1:11:08Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's why I mean from a challenging standpoint.
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: The Falcons have spent a bunch of money in free
- 1:11:15Speaker 3: agency on the defensive side of the ball, and they
- 1:11:17Speaker 3: got new faces across the board. Kalais Campbell our friendly face, yeah,
- 1:11:21Speaker 3: which I love. Kalayis he and I think they try
- 1:11:25Speaker 3: to get him here again in the off season. I
- 1:11:27Speaker 3: know he visited yep and some other guys. Jeff o'cuda,
- 1:11:31Speaker 3: who is a high first round pick for the Detroit
- 1:11:35Speaker 3: Lions cornerback. They signed Jesse Bates the third, who is
- 1:11:39Speaker 3: a safety from the Cincinnati Bengals who's a very good player.
- 1:11:44Speaker 3: Grady Jarrett's been there forever defensive tackle. He's still really good.
- 1:11:48Speaker 3: Bud Dupree, who used to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers,
- 1:11:51Speaker 3: most recently with the Tennessee Titans, is there. So they've
- 1:11:55Speaker 3: got some good players on defense. And Terrell the corner
- 1:11:59Speaker 3: from Clemson. And by the way, there may be more
- 1:12:01Speaker 3: players from Clemson in this game than any other game.
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: They're going to be well represented abround at.
- 1:12:07Speaker 3: Clemson guys in this game, man Dabo would would like
- 1:12:11Speaker 3: the tennis game.
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: I'm sure if you have some time. You mentioned the defense.
- 1:12:15Speaker 2: I think I looked and there was maybe at least
- 1:12:17Speaker 2: seven different starters they have on defense this year compared
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: to last year. And that's a different philosophy than the
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: Jaguars took in terms of standing pat on defense. Pretty
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: much the.
- 1:12:26Speaker 3: Same it is, but it's similar to the Jaguars approach
- 1:12:29Speaker 3: that they took in twenty seventiers and they went in
- 1:12:31Speaker 3: free agency or signed a bunch of guys and it
- 1:12:34Speaker 3: paid off for the Jaguars, and right now it's paying
- 1:12:37Speaker 3: all for the Falcons. I mean, they're top ten points allowed,
- 1:12:40Speaker 3: averaging eighteen points a game. They're the number four rated team,
- 1:12:44Speaker 3: and against the pass, I'm giving you some numbers here, Okay,
- 1:12:48Speaker 3: third down efficiency, they're top ten.
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: I think we were doing good score.
- 1:12:52Speaker 3: I know you know you think about all these Okay, like, okay,
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: you wanted this offense to go ahead and get better.
- 1:12:58Speaker 3: These are some things red zone and they're just out
- 1:13:00Speaker 3: of the top ten, number eleven. So there's some challenges
- 1:13:04Speaker 3: this week with this Atlanta Falcons football team. And Author
- 1:13:07Speaker 3: Smith is a really good football coach, one of the
- 1:13:10Speaker 3: best offensive mines in football. But I think he's a
- 1:13:12Speaker 3: really good head coach. He hasn't had the results yet
- 1:13:15Speaker 3: in Atlanta, but he also hasn't had the trigger man yet.
- 1:13:18Speaker 3: He's had a lot of quarterback issues, going from Marcus
- 1:13:21Speaker 3: Mariota last year, which was I don't want to say
- 1:13:25Speaker 3: a train wreck, but it didn't go very well, and
- 1:13:27Speaker 3: then Desmond Ritter is, you know, the hopeful one and
- 1:13:30Speaker 3: they're building everything around that quarterback position. I think they're
- 1:13:33Speaker 3: hopeful that Desmond Ridder is the answer, but I don't
- 1:13:36Speaker 3: know if he necessarily. As we'll see, time.
- 1:13:38Speaker 2: Will tell the second week in a row where the
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: Jaguar's gonna be facing off against a quarterback that's been
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: sacked a lot. Desmond Ritter has been sacked a lot.
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: Segar Stroud had been sacked a lot until he faced us.
- 1:13:48Speaker 2: Is this where we see the pass rush step up? Hopefully?
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: Should we? Should I stop calling them out and start
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: looking elsewhere before.
- 1:13:56Speaker 3: What concerns me is twofold one. The offense of line,
- 1:14:00Speaker 3: Matthews at left tackle, Mcgarriot right tackle. Good players, good
- 1:14:04Speaker 3: good guard, good center. This is a good offensive line.
- 1:14:08Speaker 3: They got good skill positioned players. But the other part
- 1:14:10Speaker 3: is is because he's been sacked twelve times, a lot
- 1:14:14Speaker 3: of people say, oh, easy target, He's easy to sack.
- 1:14:17Speaker 3: Desmond Ridder is a mobile quarterback and if you need
- 1:14:20Speaker 3: any evidence of that, look at his college stats. In
- 1:14:24Speaker 3: college when he was at Cincinnati, had five hundred over
- 1:14:26Speaker 3: five hundred rushes. Five hundred rushes as a quarterback. Okay,
- 1:14:32Speaker 3: he doesn't have that many in the pros obviously, because
- 1:14:34Speaker 3: he hasn't been playing that much, but he has mobility.
- 1:14:38Speaker 3: He's not Anthony Richardson okay, which the Jaguars faced week one, okay,
- 1:14:43Speaker 3: And he's not CJ. Strout okay, because Anthony Richardson is
- 1:14:47Speaker 3: a mobile quarterback who's not afraid to run, and he's
- 1:14:49Speaker 3: big and strong like Cam Newton yep Okay.
- 1:14:53Speaker 8: C J.
- 1:14:53Speaker 3: Strout is a pocket passer and he'll sit there. Desmond
- 1:14:57Speaker 3: Ridder is somewhere in the middle there. So you got
- 1:15:00Speaker 3: to make sure that you've got an awareness that he
- 1:15:02Speaker 3: can run and that he is willing to run because
- 1:15:05Speaker 3: he has a history of running in college and he's
- 1:15:08Speaker 3: got a young NFL cris where a lot of people
- 1:15:10Speaker 3: are using him. I guarantee you the Jaguars defensive staff
- 1:15:14Speaker 3: is part of the preparation this week. Have went back
- 1:15:17Speaker 3: and watched his college film just to get get an
- 1:15:20Speaker 3: idea of what he does.
- 1:15:22Speaker 2: You have to see it firsthand in a couple of days.
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: Stay with us here on the Doug Peterson Show on
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: the Jaguars Radio Network.
- 1:15:31Speaker 12: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
- 1:15:36Speaker 13: No even a game like yesterday. And that's the one
- 1:15:38Speaker 13: thing too, where like those guys have been in some
- 1:15:42Speaker 13: You got some salty bets over there, right, that's what
- 1:15:46Speaker 13: you're lying on when you bring book, you know. But
- 1:15:48Speaker 13: in Dave David kalaiis Jesse Caden.
- 1:15:52Speaker 3: You old analogy that won their first rodeo on the road.
- 1:15:56Speaker 3: You know. Sometimes that's that's what the XP station is.
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: Welcome back into the Doug Peterson Show, presented by Fresh
- 1:16:05Speaker 2: from Florida, Ka Nannie Stevens here with Jeff Loghaman. That
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: was Art Smith of the Atlanta Falcons. We talked a
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: little bit about this just in the segment before. But
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: all those new names on defense, they are salty vets,
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: as Art called them. And they had a little bit
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: of a tough time with Detroit last week. But before
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: that they didn't looking real good. They did, I will say,
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: I will say on the road, yeah, and Detroit, as
- 1:16:29Speaker 2: we've seen, beat the Chiefs there. They're nothing to be
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: messed with either.
- 1:16:32Speaker 3: Atlanta's offense just struggled mightily. They ended up having I
- 1:16:37Speaker 3: can't remember how many sacks of Ritter I have, six, seven,
- 1:16:41Speaker 3: whatever it was, which is why he's now one of
- 1:16:43Speaker 3: the most sacked quarterbacks in the league. Yep Aiden Hutchinson
- 1:16:47Speaker 3: I think had two. But look, this Falcons defense, as
- 1:16:54Speaker 3: author Smith was just talking about, is kind of that's
- 1:16:57Speaker 3: going to be the rock for this football team Atlanta,
- 1:17:01Speaker 3: and that's why he said they brought in these veteran
- 1:17:03Speaker 3: guys to kind of stabilize that side of the ball.
- 1:17:06Speaker 3: And Kalais is a guy that definitely is perfect kind
- 1:17:11Speaker 3: of example of a guy you want to bring in
- 1:17:13Speaker 3: free agency because he's all about team, he's productive, and
- 1:17:17Speaker 3: he's going to make sure that he brings everybody along
- 1:17:19Speaker 3: with him. Jesse Bates the safety, He's got three interceptions
- 1:17:23Speaker 3: already three games, he's got three interceptions. Surprised that Cincinnati
- 1:17:30Speaker 3: let him go, but they had to pay Joe Burrow,
- 1:17:33Speaker 3: so you.
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: Got you gotta find the money somewhere. You gotta go
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: in the couch and find the coins.
- 1:17:36Speaker 3: So well, the Jaguars offensive line will be challenged.
- 1:17:39Speaker 8: You know.
- 1:17:40Speaker 3: Grady Jarrett has been probably one of the better football
- 1:17:43Speaker 3: players that nobody ever talks about in the National Football League,
- 1:17:47Speaker 3: just because Atlanta hasn't been good and he's been there
- 1:17:50Speaker 3: his whole career, but he's a good football player that's
- 1:17:53Speaker 3: been active. He's a challenge to block what I'm going
- 1:17:57Speaker 3: to be anxious about is and I still want to
- 1:18:00Speaker 3: watch more film. Where's bud Dupree at? You know, bud
- 1:18:03Speaker 3: Dupree was hurt so much when he was in Tennessee.
- 1:18:06Speaker 3: You know, when he was with the Pittsburgh Steelers, he
- 1:18:08Speaker 3: was pretty dog gone. Good is he back to form
- 1:18:11Speaker 3: at all? And then a couple other guys, one of
- 1:18:14Speaker 3: them that Lorenzo Carter has been productive, but then Arnold
- 1:18:18Speaker 3: and I haven't learned how to pronounce his name yet. Okay, second,
- 1:18:21Speaker 3: your player out of Penn State? He where is number seventeen?
- 1:18:24Speaker 3: He bickety bikity. I'm still trying to figure that out.
- 1:18:29Speaker 2: They'll give us the pronunciations.
- 1:18:30Speaker 3: But they've got some good young players mixed with these
- 1:18:32Speaker 3: veteran guys, and it's going to be challenge for the
- 1:18:34Speaker 3: Jaguars football team. But you know the great thing about
- 1:18:37Speaker 3: playing at Wembley is this has really become a home
- 1:18:41Speaker 3: field advantage. When it first started, it was there was
- 1:18:46Speaker 3: a million jerseys from all teams and all eras of
- 1:18:50Speaker 3: professional football. I mean you saw Zonka jerseys and you know,
- 1:18:55Speaker 3: Joe Namath jerseys and like jeez, and you'd see so
- 1:18:58Speaker 3: many different teams, they were always reper in it. Well
- 1:19:01Speaker 3: over the years, the Jaguars following has increased, and obviously
- 1:19:06Speaker 3: the more success that this team has, even the bigger
- 1:19:08Speaker 3: that it's going to get. But it really has become
- 1:19:11Speaker 3: a home atmosphere now that the team runs the operations
- 1:19:14Speaker 3: at Wimbley and it's not a league thing. You know,
- 1:19:17Speaker 3: the stadium has a Jaguars feel to it, it has
- 1:19:20Speaker 3: a Jaguars fan feel to it, and it's a tremendous atmosphere,
- 1:19:26Speaker 3: tremendous atmosphere and I love feeling that atmosphere every year.
- 1:19:30Speaker 3: And now Tottenham I've never been to and that's going
- 1:19:33Speaker 3: to be totally foreign. Been in a foreign country and
- 1:19:35Speaker 3: you're an away game.
- 1:19:36Speaker 2: It's going to be different a little bit. But we'll
- 1:19:38Speaker 2: be there for the week, so we'll get the land
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: of land. This should be okay. And when you have
- 1:19:44Speaker 2: that advantage, we go there every year. Right, it's a
- 1:19:46Speaker 2: little different for us this year with the two games,
- 1:19:48Speaker 2: but Atlanta doesn't do that every year, so that you
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: have that little bit of an advantage in that regard.
- 1:19:53Speaker 2: And as we mentioned, Desmond Ritter I did want to
- 1:19:56Speaker 2: mention we talked about some of the sacks on him.
- 1:19:58Speaker 2: Smith went over some of those in availability and he
- 1:20:01Speaker 2: said three. So there were seven. He said, three happened
- 1:20:04Speaker 2: on play action. One was we held on and that
- 1:20:07Speaker 2: was a coverage sack, and then two were quick hitters,
- 1:20:10Speaker 2: just bum rushes, and then one was Ridder holding onto
- 1:20:13Speaker 2: the ball.
- 1:20:14Speaker 3: He said, so, and that's that's typically a trait of
- 1:20:17Speaker 3: a young quarterback.
- 1:20:18Speaker 2: Sure trying to figure things out.
- 1:20:20Speaker 3: And which was shocking about c J. Stroud this past
- 1:20:24Speaker 3: week because he didn't hold would you wouldn't have known
- 1:20:27Speaker 3: that he was a rookie and Desmond Ridder is not
- 1:20:29Speaker 3: a rookie, but he's still a young quarterback, and young
- 1:20:32Speaker 3: quarterbacks hold onto the ball because they're still trying to
- 1:20:35Speaker 3: go through progressions. You know, when Tom Brady and Peyton
- 1:20:39Speaker 3: Manning were going through their progressions in their heyday, they
- 1:20:42Speaker 3: were already starting the progression before the play was snapped. Okay,
- 1:20:45Speaker 3: they had pre snap reads and tips and they figured
- 1:20:48Speaker 3: things out, already knew and so the you know, Tom
- 1:20:50Speaker 3: Brady might have been on his fourth read before the
- 1:20:53Speaker 3: ball was even snapped because he knew. And it was
- 1:20:55Speaker 3: the same thing with Tom Brady. Well, young quarterbacks like
- 1:20:58Speaker 3: Trevor and Desmond Riddard even more so because he's not
- 1:21:01Speaker 3: as experienced as Trevor. It takes more time, they hold
- 1:21:04Speaker 3: the ball a little bit longer and so they're going
- 1:21:06Speaker 3: to get sacked more. But again, the concern for me
- 1:21:10Speaker 3: with this game is Desmond Ritter does have the ability
- 1:21:15Speaker 3: to run and that concerns me. With a Jaguars defensive
- 1:21:20Speaker 3: front that has not been consistent at getting pressure on the.
- 1:21:25Speaker 2: Quarterback, they have not been consistent. That is definitely an
- 1:21:27Speaker 2: area that needs to be worked on, among other things
- 1:21:30Speaker 2: this week in Week four, So we're going to take
- 1:21:32Speaker 2: a quick break. Coming back, we'll talk a little bit
- 1:21:34Speaker 2: more about the Falcons and Jean Robinson, who lit the
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: world on fire, cooled off a little bit last week,
- 1:21:39Speaker 2: but we'll see what we're going to see from him
- 1:21:41Speaker 2: coming up on the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars
- 1:21:43Speaker 2: Radio Network.
- 1:21:48Speaker 12: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now here.
- 1:21:54Speaker 2: On the Doug Peterson Show, Kaid Nannie Stevens with Jeff
- 1:21:56Speaker 2: log him in and talking Falcons, because why not get
- 1:21:59Speaker 2: a pre things for this weekend. A lot of if
- 1:22:03Speaker 2: anyone hadn't followed them too closely, Jon Robinson was a
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: high pick this year, and he really has lit the
- 1:22:08Speaker 2: world on fire out of Texas. Those first couple of
- 1:22:10Speaker 2: games really lit things up against the Packers. Was held
- 1:22:13Speaker 2: a little bit and check against the Lions because we
- 1:22:15Speaker 2: know that defense. We saw that in training camp and
- 1:22:17Speaker 2: the co practices that defense over there is pretty good.
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: And what does he bring to the table, because as
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: we talk about a young quarterback, it's so helpful to
- 1:22:25Speaker 2: have a running back that can open things up for you.
- 1:22:28Speaker 3: He's a true bell cow running back. What I mean
- 1:22:32Speaker 3: by bell cow for those who don't know that lingo.
- 1:22:35Speaker 3: He's a guy you can hand it to him twenty
- 1:22:37Speaker 3: twenty five thirty times a game and he can carry
- 1:22:40Speaker 3: the load. And he was that at Texas and I
- 1:22:43Speaker 3: think he can continue to be that now. The running
- 1:22:46Speaker 3: back out of Alabama that ended up getting drafted by
- 1:22:50Speaker 3: the Detroit Lions, I liked him a little bit better
- 1:22:52Speaker 3: just because he was so dynamic in the passing game.
- 1:22:54Speaker 3: But Robinson is a true pounded out running back and
- 1:22:57Speaker 3: he's also proven to be a very capable waters. You know,
- 1:23:00Speaker 3: he's got thirty nine rushes on the air and he's
- 1:23:02Speaker 3: averaging five and a half yards of carrier, which is impressive.
- 1:23:06Speaker 3: But he's their leading receiver also, which is one of
- 1:23:09Speaker 3: two things.
- 1:23:10Speaker 2: Rightly problematic, because well it's one.
- 1:23:12Speaker 3: He's good, yes, but it also shows that you've got
- 1:23:15Speaker 3: a young quarterback, right okay, and the quarterback is dumping
- 1:23:17Speaker 3: it down to the running back because he's not seeing
- 1:23:19Speaker 3: the field to be able to deliver it to other players.
- 1:23:23Speaker 3: But I love Robinson. He's got speed, he's got strength,
- 1:23:28Speaker 3: he's got great vision. And the Jaguars have been pretty
- 1:23:32Speaker 3: good against the run so far this year, but this
- 1:23:34Speaker 3: will be their biggest challenge in stopping the run for
- 1:23:39Speaker 3: two reasons. One the offensive line that Atlanta has, but
- 1:23:42Speaker 3: then number two, the commitment that they have to it.
- 1:23:46Speaker 3: And then number three, and I wouldn't necessarily rank it
- 1:23:48Speaker 3: as three is Robinson the running back because he's really good.
- 1:23:52Speaker 2: I was going to say before this game against the Texas,
- 1:23:54Speaker 2: I would have said, oh, the run defense is a
- 1:23:57Speaker 2: strong suit. They shouldn't have too much of an issue,
- 1:23:59Speaker 2: but kind of fell apart on us in every aspect
- 1:24:02Speaker 2: in that last game. So this is going to be
- 1:24:04Speaker 2: a true tesque because, as you mentioned, he's multifaceted as well,
- 1:24:07Speaker 2: and there's not always guys coming out of college that
- 1:24:09Speaker 2: are immediately like that. So he is rare in that respect.
- 1:24:12Speaker 3: No, yeah, he was. You know, he probably could have
- 1:24:14Speaker 3: played in the NFL three years ago, which is wild.
- 1:24:18Speaker 3: You know, he's a man. You know. The other thing
- 1:24:21Speaker 3: I think about the Atlanta offense is that, you know,
- 1:24:23Speaker 3: you've got Drake London who's a tremendous player, and Mac
- 1:24:27Speaker 3: Hollins another guy who Hodge is also wide receiver that
- 1:24:32Speaker 3: they have. But when you look at a young quarterback,
- 1:24:34Speaker 3: and it always kind of remains true, you look at
- 1:24:38Speaker 3: who the leading receivers are and typically it's tight ends
- 1:24:42Speaker 3: and running backs, and that's exactly what it is with
- 1:24:45Speaker 3: the Atlanta Falcons, and they're willing to play that style
- 1:24:49Speaker 3: of football because Arthur Smith knows that, look, they need
- 1:24:52Speaker 3: to play in the way they're going to play and
- 1:24:54Speaker 3: win football is they're going to play good defense, depend
- 1:24:57Speaker 3: and lean on those veteran guys that they acquired, and
- 1:24:59Speaker 3: then also ball control offense. Don't get sloppy with the ball.
- 1:25:04Speaker 3: Desmond Ridder has done a pretty good job at protecting
- 1:25:06Speaker 3: a ball. He's only got one in reception, one lost fumble,
- 1:25:09Speaker 3: and then be able to run the ball, control the
- 1:25:11Speaker 3: tempo of the game, and they were able to do
- 1:25:13Speaker 3: that two out of three games. And the Jaguars will
- 1:25:16Speaker 3: have their hands full again because that offensive line with
- 1:25:20Speaker 3: Atlanta and a good running attack will make it harder
- 1:25:24Speaker 3: for them to rush the passer, which has been their
- 1:25:26Speaker 3: achilles heels so far.
- 1:25:28Speaker 2: These two teams seem to be in similar situations as well.
- 1:25:31Speaker 2: Right well. Obviously the Falcons, I'm getting a little bit better.
- 1:25:33Speaker 2: They had a hiccup against the Lions, but still trying
- 1:25:36Speaker 2: to figure things out. Obviously, Trevor's been in the league
- 1:25:39Speaker 2: a little bit longer than Ridder has, but trying to
- 1:25:41Speaker 2: get that identity going. A lot of new faces on defense,
- 1:25:45Speaker 2: and they're in a division that is you know, last
- 1:25:48Speaker 2: year was deplorable and now they're looking pretty good. Other
- 1:25:51Speaker 2: than the.
- 1:25:51Speaker 3: Panthers, Yeah, I think it's still I'm still going to
- 1:25:56Speaker 3: keep it back into last year's category because I think
- 1:25:59Speaker 3: they got a They've got a long way to go.
- 1:26:01Speaker 13: And the.
- 1:26:02Speaker 3: To me, you can evaluate every division by starting with
- 1:26:05Speaker 3: one position, and that's the quarterback. And you look at
- 1:26:08Speaker 3: all of the quarterbacks that are in that division. You know,
- 1:26:11Speaker 3: you got a rookie, you got a journeyman, you got
- 1:26:13Speaker 3: an unproven young player. It's just it's not happening in
- 1:26:16Speaker 3: that division. And you know, the Jaguars, I think, but
- 1:26:21Speaker 3: I still believe that they have their handsful because again,
- 1:26:25Speaker 3: Author Smith does such a really good job of running
- 1:26:29Speaker 3: this offense the way that's going to give them the
- 1:26:31Speaker 3: best chance to win. He's a good football coach, and
- 1:26:35Speaker 3: there's been a lot of really good football coaches that
- 1:26:38Speaker 3: have never gotten the credit because they've never had the man,
- 1:26:40Speaker 3: that quarterback, and Author Smith hasn't even had anything coming
- 1:26:44Speaker 3: close to being the man yet. Okay, but he's done
- 1:26:47Speaker 3: a good job of making them competitive, and Jerry Foutna,
- 1:26:50Speaker 3: their general manager, has done a good job of putting
- 1:26:53Speaker 3: some pieces in place. The Atlanta Falcons are a quarterback
- 1:26:56Speaker 3: away from being a really good football team right now.
- 1:27:00Speaker 3: Their quarterback is not there, you know, and hopefully he
- 1:27:03Speaker 3: doesn't get there this week.
- 1:27:05Speaker 2: Yes, hopefully not this week. Coming up, we've talked a
- 1:27:07Speaker 2: lot about the Falcons. After the break, we're going to
- 1:27:09Speaker 2: talk about what the Jaguars need to do to turn
- 1:27:11Speaker 2: things around. We're here on the Doug Peterson Show on
- 1:27:13Speaker 2: the Jaguars Radio Network.
- 1:27:17Speaker 12: Welcome back the Doug Peterson Show. Continues right now.
- 1:27:22Speaker 2: Back here on The Doug Peterson Show presented by Fresh
- 1:27:25Speaker 2: from Florida, we talked a lot about the Falcons with
- 1:27:27Speaker 2: the Jaguars have a lot of their own figuring out
- 1:27:30Speaker 2: that they need to do. Doug Peterson was saying in
- 1:27:33Speaker 2: his availability back on Monday, I think someone asked him
- 1:27:37Speaker 2: if this could be a turning point, right because after
- 1:27:40Speaker 2: that game he was almost speechless at points trying to
- 1:27:42Speaker 2: figure out what went wrong when everything went wrong. And
- 1:27:46Speaker 2: last season he kind of pointed to that Detroit game
- 1:27:48Speaker 2: that went just about as poorly as could go, and
- 1:27:50Speaker 2: they used that a little bit as a turning point,
- 1:27:53Speaker 2: you know, and turn their season around, made the playoffs,
- 1:27:56Speaker 2: have that crazy comeback, and this will be a marker game.
- 1:27:59Speaker 2: I think the Texans game, good or bad.
- 1:28:02Speaker 3: Jeff Well, I hope so. I hope it is a
- 1:28:05Speaker 3: game that we look at and we look back at
- 1:28:07Speaker 3: and say, okay, that that was the game that spurred
- 1:28:10Speaker 3: them on to great things. And it's not going to
- 1:28:14Speaker 3: be easy because you had multiple aspects of your game
- 1:28:19Speaker 3: that were off against the Texans, and you've got to
- 1:28:22Speaker 3: you've got to fix some things pretty quick. And that's
- 1:28:24Speaker 3: the hard part about the season is that you just
- 1:28:26Speaker 3: you don't have a whole lot of time to fix things,
- 1:28:28Speaker 3: and you don't have the ability to have lengthy practices
- 1:28:31Speaker 3: or padded practices to fix things. You're kind of fixing
- 1:28:34Speaker 3: things on the fly. But the great thing is is
- 1:28:37Speaker 3: that I believe that you've got a quarterback who is
- 1:28:40Speaker 3: exceptional and I think he's going to be able to
- 1:28:42Speaker 3: help this football team in a huge fashion. You've got
- 1:28:45Speaker 3: an excellent head coach who has been there and done that.
- 1:28:49Speaker 3: And I like what they did. And I'm going to
- 1:28:52Speaker 3: go back to this again because I mentioned it earlier.
- 1:28:56Speaker 3: The Jaguars established their their physical nature a little bit
- 1:28:59Speaker 3: against the Texans a bit. And when I say that,
- 1:29:03Speaker 3: we can't forget that they did one good thing in
- 1:29:05Speaker 3: that game. They ran the ball well with ETN and
- 1:29:08Speaker 3: I think that's going to carry them and give them
- 1:29:11Speaker 3: something to kind of lean on against this Falcons football team,
- 1:29:16Speaker 3: and everything else will come. Evan Ingram's a good football player, okay,
- 1:29:20Speaker 3: Christian Kirk is a good football player. Calvin Ridley is
- 1:29:23Speaker 3: a good football player. When these guys start making the
- 1:29:26Speaker 3: plays that are there, this team is going to be
- 1:29:28Speaker 3: really special. It's not there yet, but I believe they
- 1:29:32Speaker 3: will be there, and the running game is going to
- 1:29:34Speaker 3: be a little bit of a crutch until they can
- 1:29:36Speaker 3: get back to that. And I hope that Trevor continues
- 1:29:39Speaker 3: to protect the ball fairly well, because that is something
- 1:29:43Speaker 3: that if you all of a sudden start turning the
- 1:29:45Speaker 3: ball over on top of what you've had, you're going
- 1:29:48Speaker 3: to have a really hard time.
- 1:29:50Speaker 2: I'll give Trevor credit as well, because he's looked good
- 1:29:52Speaker 2: and some of those passes that were not caught are
- 1:29:56Speaker 2: beautiful throws. He hasn't been making a lot of dumb mistakes.
- 1:30:00Speaker 2: Sometimes he gets a little excited early on overthrows some
- 1:30:02Speaker 2: people or an interception here or there. Hasn't been doing that.
- 1:30:05Speaker 2: He's been making good decisions things. Other things have been
- 1:30:08Speaker 2: going wrong.
- 1:30:08Speaker 3: We got to catch the ball. Yeah, we got to
- 1:30:10Speaker 3: catch the ball. Okay. And last year the Jaguars had
- 1:30:14Speaker 3: the most drop passes in the league, and I made
- 1:30:18Speaker 3: a note of this. At the beginning of the season,
- 1:30:19Speaker 3: it was twenty five. The year before that they had
- 1:30:22Speaker 3: twenty eight. I don't know what the number is now.
- 1:30:25Speaker 3: I think it's right around six.
- 1:30:26Speaker 2: Are we leading so far?
- 1:30:28Speaker 3: Okay? And that's not where you want to be you
- 1:30:30Speaker 3: need to kind of move past that category. Okay, in
- 1:30:33Speaker 3: this past game, Evan had one and Calvin had two.
- 1:30:37Speaker 3: You've got to be better in that category, especially when
- 1:30:41Speaker 3: you have a gimmey Okay, when the balls are easier
- 1:30:44Speaker 3: and they're right there, and three of those drops in
- 1:30:47Speaker 3: this past game were right there and should have been calling.
- 1:30:51Speaker 2: All right, one more quick break. We'll be back here
- 1:30:53Speaker 2: on The Doug Peterson Show on Jaguarts Radio.
- 1:30:59Speaker 12: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
- 1:31:04Speaker 7: I just think it comes down to each man. Just
- 1:31:06Speaker 7: it's a want to, a will to, you know. You know,
- 1:31:11Speaker 7: obviously we can it's a staff. You can create it
- 1:31:13Speaker 7: with the games and different things, you know, stunts and stuff.
- 1:31:16Speaker 7: But I'll say it's hard when the ball's out of
- 1:31:19Speaker 7: the quarterback's hand, you know fast, so you're on your
- 1:31:23Speaker 7: second step or maybe your third step making a move
- 1:31:25Speaker 7: and the ball's gone.
- 1:31:26Speaker 6: It does affect that a little bit. But but we
- 1:31:28Speaker 6: can be better.
- 1:31:31Speaker 7: Just understanding the uh, the pass rush, the game plan
- 1:31:35Speaker 7: you know that.
- 1:31:35Speaker 6: Week, and and really use that to our advantage. You know,
- 1:31:41Speaker 6: when you can't.
- 1:31:44Speaker 2: Back here on the Doug Peterson Show, presented by fresh
- 1:31:47Speaker 2: from Florida. That was Doug Peterson talking about the pass
- 1:31:50Speaker 2: rush and at a certain point he said, as much,
- 1:31:53Speaker 2: you got a man up and make it happen. And
- 1:31:55Speaker 2: I know we talked to Jeff a little bit about
- 1:31:57Speaker 2: the physicality we saw from the offense finally get the
- 1:31:59Speaker 2: running game going. But for lack of a better phrase,
- 1:32:02Speaker 2: does the defense just need to be more physical?
- 1:32:04Speaker 3: Well, I think they're doing a really good job of
- 1:32:06Speaker 3: being physical against the run, and then I think that's
- 1:32:09Speaker 3: allowing them the opportunity to rush the passer. And they're
- 1:32:13Speaker 3: in lives of the challenge this week because of Robinson,
- 1:32:16Speaker 3: who's a good back, and you got a good offensive line.
- 1:32:19Speaker 3: I think this is a bigger challenge than the Jaguars
- 1:32:22Speaker 3: have faced yet this season because they've given themselves a
- 1:32:26Speaker 3: chance to rush the passer by being pretty stout against
- 1:32:29Speaker 3: the run. Well, here comes the greatest challenge that stopping
- 1:32:32Speaker 3: the run, because this is the best running football team
- 1:32:34Speaker 3: that they faced. So can they continue to be able
- 1:32:37Speaker 3: to stop the run like they did before? Then once
- 1:32:40Speaker 3: they do, can they rush the passer better than they
- 1:32:42Speaker 3: have in the past. And I think that this is
- 1:32:45Speaker 3: going to be a season long. I don't want to
- 1:32:49Speaker 3: say struggle, but it's going to be a season long
- 1:32:52Speaker 3: conversation that we may have because the old saying it's
- 1:32:56Speaker 3: not about the x's and o's is about the Jimmys
- 1:32:59Speaker 3: and the Joe's. When you get Aaron Donald or you
- 1:33:02Speaker 3: have one of those TJ. Watts okay or Nick Bosa's okay,
- 1:33:08Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, your pass rush is pretty good.
- 1:33:11Speaker 3: And right now there's not one of those guys on
- 1:33:14Speaker 3: this football team on the front four, And so you've
- 1:33:17Speaker 3: got to be able to do some things I think
- 1:33:19Speaker 3: that are one creative and number two, you just got
- 1:33:22Speaker 3: to stay after it. And when I say stay after it,
- 1:33:25Speaker 3: you've got to have four guys that are pinning their
- 1:33:28Speaker 3: ears back, that are in the best position possible and
- 1:33:31Speaker 3: have in order to have a chance. And Josh has
- 1:33:35Speaker 3: to get healthy and to be better for this football
- 1:33:37Speaker 3: team because right now he's their best pass rusher.
- 1:33:41Speaker 2: He certainly has the mentality for it, and we know
- 1:33:43Speaker 2: he's had that shoulder injury against the Chiefs and hopefully
- 1:33:46Speaker 2: if we can get them back one hundred percent. He's
- 1:33:47Speaker 2: in a contract here, so you think you'd see the best.
- 1:33:49Speaker 3: He has, well, you can tell that he's he's not
- 1:33:53Speaker 3: quite at one hundred percent, okay, and that's not a
- 1:33:57Speaker 3: good thing, but it's part of playing in the NFL.
- 1:34:00Speaker 3: Nobody's at full strength. Trayvon needs to take a step, Okay,
- 1:34:04Speaker 3: Trayvon needs to get on the edges of players and
- 1:34:07Speaker 3: become a more of a successful pass rusher. He's trying
- 1:34:11Speaker 3: to bully guys. Okay, you can do that in college.
- 1:34:14Speaker 3: You can't do that in the National Football League. He's
- 1:34:16Speaker 3: got to get on the edges of offensive linemen and
- 1:34:19Speaker 3: use that power, because that power becomes even greater when
- 1:34:23Speaker 3: there's indecisiveness on the offensive lineman's part when you're on
- 1:34:26Speaker 3: their edges.
- 1:34:28Speaker 2: All right, Jeff, we're getting on a plane soon. We're
- 1:34:29Speaker 2: going to London. Where's your go to spot is tourists?
- 1:34:32Speaker 3: I just follow JP because he's big.
- 1:34:35Speaker 2: Over there, and you know what, he left us early,
- 1:34:37Speaker 2: so he gets no credit for today because he's just
- 1:34:40Speaker 2: left us to clean total pubou that's true. He knows
- 1:34:45Speaker 2: all the spots and he's already probably at a party
- 1:34:47Speaker 2: right now. He's probably out a pub right now. Oh
- 1:34:49Speaker 2: of course, he's big over there closing things down.
- 1:34:52Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to it, though, because uh, staying in
- 1:34:55Speaker 3: a different place, staying in downtown London this year. Typically
- 1:34:58Speaker 3: I've stayed with the team. This year, I'm not which
- 1:35:01Speaker 3: there's some positive and some negative to that, but I'm
- 1:35:03Speaker 3: going to try to take a little bit more of
- 1:35:05Speaker 3: the sites and sound of London in while still enjoying
- 1:35:08Speaker 3: some good football.
- 1:35:09Speaker 2: I'll be there with you. As for our viewers and
