• 0:19
  Speaker 2: And Welcome in The Doug Peterson Show, presented by Fresh
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: from Florida from the Honday Studios the Miller Electric Center.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: We're on the Jaguars Radio Network presented by the University
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: of Florida, JP Shadrick, Jeff Logerman and head Coach Doug Peterson.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: And studio with us as always each and every Thursday.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: And here we go to week ten, Yeah ten, Week ten, right,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: rolling three weeks to Thanksgivings. Crazy about halfway more of
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: the season now, but all right, we know the record.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: But we also saw what happened last week in Philly,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: down twenty two, nothing, another early hole, but found a way,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: cobbled together a way to stay in the game and
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: had the ball with a chance to win late.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: And I mean the fight of this team just shows
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: week after week. Still.
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I don't sweat it out. I wait
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: to the second quarter, I mean, you know, or maybe
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: the third quarter.
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: We just uh, I hate to, I hate to keep
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: making light of it, but it is something that's it's
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: it's alarming that that it takes us a second to
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: get warmed up and get into these games. And it's
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: and I think defensively too. I mean, I think defensively
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: we're off the field again. Right we had a special
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: team's mishap that allowed that touchdown, much like we had
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: in Houston, you know, the reverse of that. So I
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: think defense has really stepped their game up early in
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: football games. And actually, i'd say for the most part,
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: take away obviously there's some there's some plays there, but
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: those are the.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: Ones we have to eliminate.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: But overall, I thought they improved, they played better, they
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: kept the offense really in the football game for the
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: most part.
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: But we got to start faster.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: I think it comes down to really the efficiency on
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: first down, whether we're running it throwing it got to
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: be efficient on first down in order to stay on
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: the field and really to get into any kind of tempo,
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: because if you're second, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, there's no
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: need to be on the ball. Quite frankly, h Miles,
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: huddle up, get your best call and and go from there.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: So I think we've got to do a better job
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: on first and ten uh to start the game and
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: you know, hopefully get that gets us into a rhythm
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: as we as we continue the game.
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: Then how do you do that?
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Is that? Is that?
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: Is it better performance? Is it better play calls? Is
• 2:29
  Speaker 7: it running a script? I mean, because there's so many
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: different ways that people kind of look at successful ways
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: of starting a game.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean we script everything. I mean we look
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: at everything, we take it. You know, we get we
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: reviewed on Saturday. The players know exactly what's coming. So
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: it's not like we hide eathing from the guys, right,
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: It's it's we're open and transparent as a staff with
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: our guys, and and we want their feedback and dialogue
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: as well. If they don't like something, we take it out.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: If the quarterbacks don't like something, we take it out.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: We put something else in that they like. So we're
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: all on the same page. And sometimes I would say
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: sometimes we may get a little different look to start
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: a football game from a defense, but I would say
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: ninety five six seven percent of the time, we're getting
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: what we expected.
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: So it comes down to just execution.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: And making sure that again as a staff, we're making
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: making sure our players are in the right positions on
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: the field right to you know, start the game fast.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Head coach Doug Peterson with us Trevor Lawrence on the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: injury report this week coming out of the game. And
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: we went through this a little bit last year obviously,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: where he would practice limited or not practice, and then
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: you had to wait as a week went along. How
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: much of what challenge is that when you're putting a practice,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: playing together every day, you don't know how many reps
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Trevor Or mac Jones might have.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: And how is the quarterback?
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, he's doing fine. It's day
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: to day. You know, he improves every day. You know,
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Mac mac prepares each week as if he's playing, and
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: rightfully so he's the backup and he should I mean,
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: I know the drill there, having spent a lot of
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: time in that role.
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: And and then just really you know during the during
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: the week too.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Trevor is going to be limited as far as
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: taking the amount of reps he can take. But he's
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: out there, he's listening, he's he's going through the calls,
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: he's processing the information, he's with his teammates, he's talking
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: to the receivers. Yes, it's not like taking a live rep,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: but he's also banks some reps with these guys.
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: And and then for us, we got to make sure
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: Mac is ready to go. Uh if need be.
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: Kind of a two part question here, because you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: last year you went through Trevor having some injuries and
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: different injuries throughout the end of the year last year,
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: what did you learn through that process? And also number two,
• 4:44
  Speaker 7: with Mac Jones, if he's got to play, how much
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: does the offense change or does that not change?
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: So with Trevor, what I learned last year.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: Is if if we know early in the week that
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: he's not going to play, don't play. Don't play him,
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: let him, let him get healthy, let him let him,
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: let him heal right, because because he can't miss those
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: reps in practice. Just like we talked about, he's got
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: to stay on he's got to stay on track. He
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: can't miss the necessarily a Wednesday, Thursday, maybe even a Friday,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: a limited Friday, and expect from the quarterback position, you know,
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: to play. So that's one of the big big takeaways
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: I learned. If if it's significant enough, you know, like
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: he had the hit injury last year, right, he was
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: in the protocol for a while.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: I believe he had another the knee, different things like that.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: If there's you know, if there's a way to kind
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: of if we got to go to the backup, we
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: go to the backup. Right, So that's the first thing.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Make sure he's make sure he's one hundred percent. And
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: then in max case, you know, we'll tweak some things
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: to what he likes. You know, we can't go into
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: it and saying hey, go be Trevor, because you're not Trevor,
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: so go be Mac Jones.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: And Mac is smart. He studies the game, he's articulate.
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: He tells us what exactly what he likes and doesn't like,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: and it really helps us shape a game plan for
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: the week tailored really to him. And then and then
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: in his case, he now needs to start throwing to
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: BT and Gabe and Evan and all those guys, because
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: he's throwing to you know, uh, Austin Trammel and Elijah
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Cooks and and Joshuasifa.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: So it gets a little bit.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Skewed a little but at the same time, we want
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: to make sure that he's comfortable with the plan and
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: what he can what he can execute.
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: Uh, kind of along those lines of the injuries that
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: you're talking about, Cooper Hodges last week goes down, I
• 6:29
  Speaker 7: mean a feel for the guy. Significant injury as you
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: talked about earlier in the week. Ezra Cleveland, how is he?
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: How's Gabe Davis and the rest of your offense that
• 6:40
  Speaker 7: so many different guys were missing time last week.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, unfortunate with Coop, but he's he's definitely gonna miss
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: you know, the rest of the season, and and uh
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: just unfortunately. He put himself in a great position through.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: Camp and battled back from last year's.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: Injury and and uh just a just a crazy, crazy injury,
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: you know, Sunday afternoon there.
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: And gave fine. Gabe is doing well, BT is doing well.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Should have both those guys at full strength and healthy
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: going into this football game.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: Ezra is probably another week away.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: You know, those high ankles are finicky and and kind
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: of a day to day you know. Mason Smith is
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: another one. It's kind of day to day, but getting
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: he's probably a little bit closer than Ezra. And you know,
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: and then at this time of year too, like etn
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: you know, still nagging hammy right tank has an ankle.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: All these guys are showing up on the injury report.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: That's just what it is this time of year. As
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: you know, bodies get sore, bodies get beat up, but
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: bodies will heal during the week if we give them
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: the amount of rest that they need. But at the
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: same time, we can't shut the brain down and not
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: execute mentally out there on the field.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Head coach Doug Peterson with us, let's take a look
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: at the Minnesota Vikings now, and let's.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Start with their defense.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Brian Floor is a scheme and it feels like they've
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: got some veteran guys on the back end and some
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: edge players starting to take a step in the right direction.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: What is it about his scheme in the way a
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: play that has them so successful?
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: You know, I think you're right.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: He has some veteran players, and he's got he's got
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: his his younger.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: Players too that are also playing well.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: He went out and got you know, Grenard in the
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: off season from Houston, and he's he's making a difference there.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: And and so you know, you look at this team
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: and and they're multiple in what they do defensively. They'll
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: put a four down front out there. They'll put a
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: three down odd front out there.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: They'll put six guys out there.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: You know, any any time, uh, you know, any down,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: any distance. And and and then he disguises coverage really well.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: And he can also he can also match you. So
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: for instance, if we're going no huddle right and we
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: want to be on the ball, or we want to
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: do something fast, he's got calls for that. Plus he
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: can he can actually check a call defensively if he
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: wants to. I mean he So these guys are smart, right,
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: they they can they can handle the information and they
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: do a great job of that. And and it's really
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: a group that that flies around there. They're gonna be
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: movement up front, right, They're gonna stem and slant and
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: run a lot of games uh pace zero. The linebacker
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: is a run through guy. Van gyinkle is. You know,
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: he's got two pick sixes this year. I mean, it's
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: just it's a defense. It's it's really playing together as
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: a unit.
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: Watching them on film, and you talk about Brian Flores,
• 9:13
  Speaker 7: there's a lot of guys that he has on that
• 9:15
  Speaker 7: defense that can kind of do different things Like Van
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: Gyankle can rush the pass or he can play linebacker.
• 9:21
  Speaker 7: They got Mattelis that can play safety, he can play linebacker.
• 9:25
  Speaker 7: And when they start and they line up, all of
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: a sudden, what they end up in coverage wise is
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: completely different.
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: One from what they started.
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: Is this the most challenging defense maybe in the league
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: to face a f a quarterback?
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: It is because they they posed that problem, right, And
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: then they'll show you seven up eight up right if
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: you have if you have five guys in there, they're
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: gonna show you six. If you got six, they're gonna
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: show you seven. They're always gonna have one more than
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: what you got on your your your formation. So you know, yeah,
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: so it poses problems that way. But you're right, they've
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: got guys that can line up in multiple spots and
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: and and move them around, and they do it well
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: and and so that's that's the issue that we have.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: And and you know, we got to.
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: Study the tape obviously and listen though, you know, every
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: defense has indicators.
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: You know, every every coverage has an indicator.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: Every there's all there's always but you got to study
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: the film and you got to find them and then
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: and then you got to work on those during.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: The week, all right, final thoughts here flipping it around now.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I asked you earlier in the week in the press
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: conference about Sam Darnel and his success, and your answer
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: was Justin Jefferson and you have that guy, right, you
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: got Naylor, and you got Addison and all these parts
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: and pieces that are really fantastic players. What's the approach
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: on defense this week when you have that many weapons,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: including Justin Jefferson, who leads the league in past or
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: receiving yards.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the number one thing is is we
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: we got to we got to minimize, if not eliminate,
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: the explosive plays. They've they pride themselves on explosive plays.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: They do a great job of it, as you mentioned
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: those guys, and and Sam does a good job of
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: getting him, you know, getting.
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: Them the football.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: Justin Jefferson is by far one of the top receivers
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: in this in this league and will be for a
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: long time. And then and then after that, you know,
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: we have to eliminate that. So we have to stay
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: on top. We've got to be deep at the deepest, widest,
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: the widest, and we can't let guys run free and
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: and and run wide open. You know, we've had that
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: mistake in the secondary last last week, and and and
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: we can't.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: We can't have that, not against not against these guys.
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: And then I think once they do get the football,
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: much like last week, I thought we did a great
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: job of tackling. You know, last week, I thought I
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: thought we got these guys on the ground. Uh, when
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: we had opportunities, we got to be able to do
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: that really well. And then sometimes if you're gonna play
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: a light box, mean, if you're gonna play six in
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: the box in your nickel defense or your dime defense,
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: whatever you're gonna be in, you've got to shut the
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: gaps down.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: You got to stop the run.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: So, you know, it's a challenge because they do they do,
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: you know, want to shoot the ball down the field.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: They're gonna use their tight ends. You know, Hawkinson's another
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: you know, good tight end. He's coming back really off
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: the injury and and you know poses a problem there,
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: So challenges on both sides.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: But guys have had a good week of practice so far.
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and Aaron Jones, they're running back pretty good back.
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: So I mean, a good challenge for you guys. But
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: man eliminating the explosive that's got to be number one.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: It's number one on the list. It's it's number one
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: on the list. I think, you know, I think if
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: we do that, now.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: Look, they get paid to right, I mean, they're gonna
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: get theirs. I mean there's opportunities. They're gonna get theirs.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: We're gonna get ours. You know, we've shown that offensively
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: with BT and the guys. And but if you can.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: Eliminate or at least minimize maybe one a game, I'd
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: like to see none. Obviously, it gives yourself an opportunity
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: and then and then take care of the football.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: We can't. We can't give teams. You know, we've done
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: this the last two weeks. Now as we give give.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: Our opponents opportunities that we can't, we can't turn the
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: football over.
• 12:48

• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Vikings Jaguars Game this Sunday, delivered by CSX CSX How
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: tomorrow moves Well, there's a lot on the plate for
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: the head coach, a lot of injuries creeping up, certainly,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: and they're in the middle of this stretch against these
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: NFC teams, most notably three of the four NFC North teams,
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: the toughest division in football this year, with all three
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: are four teams really five hundred better of the Bears
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: at four and fourth at the bottom of that division.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: But of course Vikings this week in the mix next
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: week Detroit, we know what they're about. And then a
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: defense that's scuffling at times and trying to slow down
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: a Vikings offense that has the ability and the playmakers
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: to put up some numbers on you.
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: We need to change that graphic.
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: It needs to read the NFC Norris Division. Oh, the
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: Norris the old, the old Chris Berman. Yeah, Chris Berman
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: used to call it the Norris Division.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: That's right, right.
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: So red Wings was a Timberwolves, the hockey teams man
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: black Hawks.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: No, I think the Norris was the football one.
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, I don't know. No, it's never
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: been called. He always used to joke around that because.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Oh got it. Yeah, okay, yeah, that's that's way before
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: my time.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's when Cable had an actual box on your TV,
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: the cable time ago. So hey, explosive plays, we heard
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: it at the very end there. That's the number one
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: priority for this defense. They've given up.
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: What the most in the league, Yeah, the most in
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: the league right now, seventy nine. A little bit of
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: research and that the average amount of explosives given up
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: in like a seven since the NFL has gone to
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: seventeen games is one hundred and fifteen on the season.
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: That's the average, and obviously the Jaguars are on pace
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: for significantly more than that. The Chicago Bears I think
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: had the most if you go back, I think to
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: two thousand, they had the number one hundred and sixty
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: two allowed and I was in twenty thirteen and that
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: was in a sixteen game slate, which is not so good.
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: But yeah, they've got to fix that number. It's going
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: to be a challenge this week because look, Jordan Addison
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: is also.
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: A pretty good player.
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: By the way, Yes, Justin Jefferson is is a premier player,
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: and Addison is he was a first round pick yeah
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: last year.
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: I mean good player. So it's going to be a challenge.
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: And the tight ends.
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: I think there's also some concern in my department anyway
• 16:01
  Speaker 7: for that position because I think the Jaguars have struggled
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: a little bit with the tight end group. And you
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: could save that statement and run it back the last decade.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Well, and look, j always have issues covering the tight
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: end well.
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: And it's against a team that has has a pretty
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: good running back, you know, and Aaron Jones. I don't
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: want to say he's a great back, but he's a
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: good back.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: Definitely not Sakuon Barkley. But at the same token, he's
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: pretty good. Offensive line is okay in Minnesota, definitely not
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: to the caliber of Philadelphia like the Jaguars saw last week.
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: Who by the way, Uh, Devon Hamilton I got. I
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: got to give him some props. He did a great
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: job in stopping the tush push a couple times. Great job.
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: And Cam Jurgens is no Kelsey. I can tell you that, okay, okay,
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: Cam Jurgens is the center for the Eagles now and
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: Jason Kelsey was the longtime center of the Philadelphi Eagles.
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: Was one of the main reasons why that Tush push
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: was at a ninety three percent success rate, and Von
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: Hamilton did a great job on Cam Jurgens in that game.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: Another thing I found interesting with from Doug Peterson just
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: a moment ago with us was when you asked him
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: about what did you learn from the Trevor Lawrence practice
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: schedule experience last year?
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: And I think it was very telling. Absolutely, I think
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: it was very telling.
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: I don't think we got an answer out of that,
• 17:22
  Speaker 7: but maybe we got an idea of where he might
• 17:24
  Speaker 7: be leaning.
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, if he's not gonna go, then take him.
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: Out early, you know.
• 17:28
  Speaker 7: But he was limited yesterday, limited today, you know, and
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: not limited to what extent.
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: I don't know. You know, you don't get to watch
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: the whole practice.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: He didn't have pads on. Everybody else had pads on today.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: He was the only one without pads on when the media,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: So you don't know what happens after that. I'm gonna
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: guess he didn't put pads. I don't know it's what
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: you would be good. I'm just guessing.
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know, So we'll see what happens. But uh,
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: but I thought his answer was very thoughtful. And I think, look,
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: you know, I think you learn things is the more
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: you go, because you got to learn more about your players, right.
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: I mean, certain guys cannot practice and play well for
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: a period of time. Some guys can. They need the
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: practice to play well. And I'm not saying that Trevor
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: is one way or the other, but I think that
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: as a as a coach, you get a feel for
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: it one way or the other after a certain amount
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: of time, and especially when it comes to what the
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: injury may or may not be.
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: So we'll see how that plays out.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: By the way, you're right about the Norris being a
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: hockey division, and apparently there were three cities that had
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: teams in both leagues.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: That's why he started. I thought that was just what
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: it was called.
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: I didn't know that was a stick, No, that was
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: a whole Yeah, Chris Berman used to do that forever.
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: How about that?
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: Pretty cool? The only team obviously Green Bay.
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that doesn't have a hockey correct theow much of anything.
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: Somehow they got an NFL ten years ago too, and
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: they kept it. We're back in a moment, and you know,
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: let's stick into Sam Darn.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: A little bit. Yeah, come back.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: It's been the scenic to get to where he is
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: in Minnesota. Let's say plenty ahead. We'll hear from Ben
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Lever coming up as.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Well from the Vikings Radio Network.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: And this is the Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Welcome back.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: It is the Doug Peterson Show, presented by Fresh from Florida.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: We are on the Jaguars Radio Network, presented by the
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: University of Florida, number one university in the US News
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: and World Reports, number one state for education. J P.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Shadwick with Jeff Logoman.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Glad you're with us on the Jaguars Radio Network today
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: as we get ready for week ten, the Vikings coming
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: to town. Salute to service game, white helmets for the
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Jaguars for the first time ever.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: A lot going on at the bank.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Hope you can make it down, and they're facing the
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Vikings team that's second in the NFC North and Sam
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Darnold has been really the story of this. There's a
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: lot of really fantastic players in the Vikings, justin Jefferson,
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: but to make it all kind of click, Sam Donald
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: the unexpected story, I guess for Minnesota this year.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: It's his fourth team in the National Football.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: League and a former first round pick of the Jets,
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: didn't work out there, moved a couple different places and
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: somehow has kind of found a way in this offense
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: with a running game and great receivers, and he's managed
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: it pretty well. He has turned it over a little bit,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: but especially as of late. But Sam Donald stepping in
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: when JJ McCarthy got hurt, and here we go, the
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Vikings are in the race.
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah, McCarthy had who was their tenth overall pick out
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: of Michigan, was the starter, and then in the preseason
• 20:44
  Speaker 7: he ended up having a full meniscous repair, which takes
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: a lot of time to rehab from because they're sewing
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: the meniscus back, they're not just trimming it, and so
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: the rehab is pretty lengthy. And so Sam Donald, who
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: signed as a free agent from the forty nine ers,
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: spent one year with the forty nine ers, and I
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: think that one year was extremely valuable for Sam Darnold
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: because of the opportunity to be underneath of Kyle Shanahan
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: for a year, who many view as the best offensive
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: mind in football, whether you agree with that or not.
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: But then also Sam Donald has had some success prior
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: to San Francisco. I mean, if you look at his
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: record in Carolina, he did okay and when he was
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: in Carolina, but then Carolina got a high draft pick,
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: you know, Bryce Young and moved on from him, and that, yeah,
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: that the world. But yeah, I mean it's been a
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: long road for Sam Donald to get back into the
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: starting lineup. You know, I had a conversation with Tom
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: Coughlin back when we had the alumni weekend Legends Weekend,
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: and we were actually talking about Sam Donald, and he said,
• 21:51
  Speaker 7: you know, it's amazing how little patience a lot of
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: organizations have with quarterbacks and how quickly they are too
• 22:00
  Speaker 7: move on to the next hot thing. And Sam Donald
• 22:04
  Speaker 7: is one of those guys. And he's got a good arm.
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: He has got experience now, and I think the experience
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: has has given him a lot of confidence. And he's
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: playing very well for the Minnesota Vikings right now. And
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: and also, I think helps him that they're playing good defense,
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: they have a pretty solid running game, They've got some
• 22:23
  Speaker 7: really good receivers. So it's not all on him because
• 22:26
  Speaker 7: you know, in his previous stops with the New York
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: Jets and then also with the Carolina Panthers, I mean,
• 22:31
  Speaker 7: the pressure to win, carrying that weight on your shoulders,
• 22:34
  Speaker 7: you've got to be the guy. I think it's much credit.
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: Whereas now in Minnesota he's just a part of the operation.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: And remember, too, if you're a first round pick, a
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: high first round pick, you're probably on a bad football team.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: You know, there's not a lot of That's exactly Ryan's right.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: I mean they were not ready for prime time in
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: his rookie season, right. I clearly a lot of things
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: going on this way. That's normally how it works.
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: Sam Donald's career record, take a guess, Okay, I bet
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: he's thirty percent.
• 23:03
  Speaker 6: Fifties played in uh sixty four games. Okay, So what
• 23:07
  Speaker 6: do you think? What sixty percent?
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: No?
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, thirty percent, thirty five percent.
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: He's twenty seven and thirty seven, okay, Okay. Trevor Lawrence
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: is twenty two and thirty seven.
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: Okay, I'm just saying.
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: I mean, talk about quarterbacks that have records, you know
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: that get picked that from bad teams which obviously have
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: the higher draft pick. I think that that number right
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: there can can be telling some what he's a career
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: sixty percent passer, But this year he is having a
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: career best year. Okay, numbers don't lie. He's completing passes
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: at a career high sixty nine point five percent. His
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: previous career high was with the Jets, and that was
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: in his second year and he was a sixty one
• 23:51
  Speaker 7: point nine percent.
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: So that's pretty impressive. Eight nine with the Carolina.
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: Panthers as a starter overall with the Jets thirteen and
• 23:59
  Speaker 7: twenty five San Francisco oh to one.
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah, only had one start with forty nine ers that year.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: You know what would cure all this is pass rush
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: on this guy, right well, I mean a.
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: Pass rush always fixes that. But I mean the problem
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: is is that, look, this this Jaguars defense hasn't exactly
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: been the most dominant pass rushing team.
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: They haven't been.
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: I mean last week was kind of a struggle against
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: Jalen Hurts. The week before that against the grin look,
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: and Josh got two sacks last week. Okay, I understand that,
• 24:33
  Speaker 7: but the last this season as a whole, it's not
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: exactly been you know, a dominant pass rush this year.
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: And you know, I think it's gonna be a good
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: matchup Cam Robinson against Josh Hines. Allen, get your pop
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: going ready for that one, absolute because Cam's gonna be
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: amped up. I'm sure Josh is gonna be ready to go.
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: And the right tackle O'Neill for the Minnesota Vikings. Brian O'Neill,
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: good football player, good football player, Team captain, you know,
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: high level player, one of the best right tackles in
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: the league. He's not Alane Johnson, who is, Okay, nobody is.
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: There's not another right tackle that compares to him in
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: the last ten years in the National Football League.

  Speaker 2: former NFL linebacker, and plenty to discuss this week.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: But we obviously we talk about.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: This Vikings defense and what they do to be so successful.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: But justin Jefferson, the number one receiver in the NFL,
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: what drives their star fifth year player?
• 26:26
  Speaker 8: He just wants to be the greatest. And I think
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: a lot of it is against We're so much of
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: our own journey just kind of forges who we are
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: as people, as athletes, and for him being a late bloomer.
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: You know, he was not He was not a top
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: tier athlete growing up in high school. You know, he
• 26:48
  Speaker 8: wasn't one of these kids that you see in Pop
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: Warner and you're like, oh my god, like look at
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: Derek Henry run in high school like he's going to
• 26:54
  Speaker 8: be a Hall of Fame running back.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: Everybody.
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: Everybody knew that, Like unless something like major happens injury
• 27:00
  Speaker 8: wise or otherwise, this guy's destined to be an NFL
• 27:04
  Speaker 8: Hall of Famer. And Justin Jefferson wasn't that. You know,
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: he was under recruited, only really went to LSU because
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: of because of family ties, and he really had to
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: work for everything. And I think that that humility to
• 27:20
  Speaker 8: work and prove yourself every day, even though he's the
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: top of the league as far as receivers go, like,
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: I think that still burns inside of him that he's
• 27:29
  Speaker 8: got to do more. He's got to go out and
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: prove it again every day in practice, He's got to
• 27:32
  Speaker 8: go out and prove it. I mean, you know, when
• 27:34
  Speaker 8: he was going through his contract situation in the off season,
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: I think so much for all of us around here,
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: so much of about was more about what he does
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: off the field. He's such a great leader, he's great
• 27:45
  Speaker 8: for the community. He has a right he has the
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: right amount of cockiness and superstardom to him, but the
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: humility to go along with it. He's got self awareness,
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: like He's sort of the total package, and it's like, yeah,
• 27:57
  Speaker 8: pay for what he does on the field, Yes, but
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: he's so important to building the locker room and building
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: the team, and and those guys are so lucky to
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: have him.
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: There's a fine line between confidence and arrogance, and a
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: lot of receivers we know just jump right over that line.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: Sometimes.
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: Ben liber with us from the Vikings radio network. You
• 28:17
  Speaker 7: and I called a game in London Vikings Jets on
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: Westwood One where the Vikings defense had three interceptions off
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: Aaron Rodgers in that game, a.
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Couple of underthrown balls. However, this is a group that's
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: done it all year. I mean they're second in the
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: league in takeaways, number one interceptions. I love the veteran
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: back end, I mean Harrison Smith, like the all time
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: Viking you know, stuff on Gilmore does pass rush. Guys
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: are starting to really heat up, it feels like, but
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: you know, and they haven't really changed their strikes, right,
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: Bryan Flores brings pressure in a lot of different ways.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: What's what is the status of this Vikings defense now
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: going into Week ten?
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: Well, listen, they are gonna they are gonna heat you up.
• 28:55
  Speaker 8: You know, we lead the league and blitz straight and
• 28:58
  Speaker 8: I think pressure rate as well well. But that doesn't
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: come without some weaknesses. You know, when we when we
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: give up five six rushers, sometimes that only leaves a
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: few guys in the back end.
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: Of this defense.
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: I mean there was there was times in the Los
• 29:13
  Speaker 8: Angeles Rams game where you know, I saw only five
• 29:16
  Speaker 8: guys in coverage and they're playing They're not even playing
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: a you know, a straight up man. They're playing a
• 29:20
  Speaker 8: zone with three over the top and two underneath. And
• 29:23
  Speaker 8: it's like, all right, guys, if if you're going to
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: leave these two underneath guys to cover all this ground,
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: somebody better get home and get to the quarterback. And
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: that didn't happen. And so if you're well coached up
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: and you understand where the blitzes are coming from, and
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: you use your six blockers against our six rushers, well
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: you're gonna throw the ball on us. And and I
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: think Brian Flores is okay with that. It very much
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: is a bend, but don't break. It's you know, you
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: typically see that in a true cover two scheme. But
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: because he uses so many guys in the rush, he
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: knows that you're gonna get your yards. But he also knows,
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: all right, when you get into that red zone, guess
• 30:03
  Speaker 8: what everything gets is going to get compressed. And that
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: helps our defense out in our secondary, so we do
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: a really good job of just keeping points off the board,
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: but you can throw the ball on us.
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: The biggest thing.
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: For us the last couple of years with Brian Flores
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: is our run defense. Our run defense has gotten so
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: much better. Harrison Phillips, Jonathan Bullard, all these guys, these
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: big bee feeders up front, they do a really good
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: job of not getting pushed back off of double teams.
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: Allows you know, Cashman when he's in there to fly around,
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: allows Ivan paced he's such a downhill player, allows those
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: guys to get clean reads and get down into those
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: A and B gaps and make plays. And so we
• 30:42
  Speaker 8: do a really good job of contacting ball carriers behind
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: the line of scrimmage. And that, as you know, JP
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: is the number one thing. Stop the run, make it frustrating,
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: and make the team one dimensional, and then we heat
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: him up on the blitzes.
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: So that's why we've been so disruptive.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: That's been Lever Vikings Radio Networks sideline reporter, former NFL
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: linebacker the full conversation on the official Jaguars Podcast network
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: will return and get back into the Jaguars quarterback room.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: It is crowded all of a sudden, and the connections
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: with the wide receivers who are on the injury report
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: this week as well. Plenty ahead is the Doug Peterson
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Show on Jaguars Radio.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Doug Peterson Show, presented by Fresh from Florida. We're on
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: the Jaguars Radio Network, presented by the University of Florida,
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: number one university in the US News and World Reports,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: number one.
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: State for education.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: JP Shadwick with Jeff Flagman are thanks to head coach
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Doug Peterson and the opening segment each and every week,
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: and then then Leber of the Vikings Radio Network does
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: a great job for that crew at local radio in
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: the Twin Cities. But now back to the Jaguars and
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: and all the sudden crowded quarterback room. The Aguars signed CJ.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Bethard off the Dolphins practice squad, so three on the roster.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: John Rice Plumbley is on the practice squad as well,
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: so four bodies in there to go along with Mike McCoy,
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: of course, the quarterbacks coach, and a lot happening there.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence on the injury report this week, left shoulder
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: limited both days of practice this week. Mac Jones getting
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: some work and at least in the open period today,
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence the only one without shoulder pads on. Everybody
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: else had pads on. What does that mean? Who knows.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: We'll find out maybe tomorrow or it could go into
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: the weekend. Maybe not, maybe you don't, We'll see, Yeah,
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: we'll see.
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: Cj is a guy I think is a really good
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: insurance policy to have, and that even though he has
• 32:44
  Speaker 7: been in Miami on their practice squad, he's a guy
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: that literally when you bring him in, he kind of
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: knows the system already.
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: I mean, there's not gonna be.
• 32:51
  Speaker 7: An acclamation understanding learning period for him with this offense.
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: I think it's gonna be pretty seamless for him to
• 33:00
  Speaker 7: be the backup if so called upon.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: But we will see and will see.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: And if mac Jones is called upon, it would be
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: his first start since Week twelve of last season. Of course,
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: it would be his first with the Jacksonville Jaguars. It
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: is a contract year for him, these moments would be huge.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: You didn't know, come again, if he would even have
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: any opportunities to play this season. But if he is playing,
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: then obviously you could play a similar style offense. Now
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: you can argue the offense has moments where it hasn't
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: been great, but you don't have to change a whole
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: lot of the preparation with mac Jones if he.
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: Has to go with no, I don't think so.
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: And I think, you know, hopefully this week you also
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: get Gabe Davis back. You also would like to have
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: Brian Thomas Junior a little bit more healthy than he
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: was last week. Not that I could say that he
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: wasn't healthy last week, but I mean, look, he's on
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: a report for a reason. Yeah, I mean he's on
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: a report for a reason. So you hope that he's better.
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: And Parker Washington, you hope that continues to kind of
• 33:59
  Speaker 7: refrain his understanding of the offense with the opportunity that
• 34:02
  Speaker 7: he's been given with the broken collar bone of Christian Kirk.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: And Parker has been working with Mac Jones a lot.
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: I think they also they they need to kind of
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: clarify the whole running backs situation. Look I think this
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: team has been running the ball very well with Tank
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: Bigsby very well, and I think they kind of got
• 34:26
  Speaker 7: to define those roles. If you look at the numbers,
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: when when you've had both guys active, Tanks numbers have
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: been down. When Tanks had to be the guy, his
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: numbers have been up. So I think you got to
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: got to find a nice comfort zone in there. You
• 34:44
  Speaker 7: wonder how good or how healthy Etn's hamstring is. And
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: the reason I asked that at the end of the
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: ball game, you have de Ernest Johnson in there instead
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: of your guy, right, I.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: Mean he's your starter, all right, And yeah, and he's
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: been a lot more involved in the passing game as
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: of late, right when he's been healthy. And by the way,
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: all three running backs are on the injury report today.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Tank Bixy with an ankle, has been on there a
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks. Now you mentioned Eats again. But Jaronis
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Johnson up with a hamstring today was limited. He was
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: not on the report yesterday, so that's popped up.
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: Anton Harrison on the injury report.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: Harrison is not on this injury okay, so that's good.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Scared last week with his left knee.
• 35:28
  Speaker 7: And I'm sure that that there's a little something there
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: to where he's got to ice it, but not enough
• 35:33
  Speaker 7: maybe put on the injury report. And I'm not exactly
• 35:35
  Speaker 7: sure what you have and have to not report on
• 35:38
  Speaker 7: the injury report. He's obviously going to be playing this
• 35:41
  Speaker 7: week without any question, correct, So do you have it
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: banked up?
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: Football team? Let's return.
• 35:46
  Speaker 7: Everybody is everybody in the National Football League. And I
• 35:50
  Speaker 7: don't want people to think that you're saying that to
• 35:52
  Speaker 7: make an excuse for this football team, because the reality
• 35:54
  Speaker 7: is every team in the league has beat up right now.
• 35:57
  Speaker 7: In fact, remember everybody's dealing with something.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: Remember twenty seventeen when the Jaguars defense missed two starts
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: all season across the board, and it was the two
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: weeks that Telvin Smith had a concussion. At the end,
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: it was all the starters were out there. Everything it does, crazy.
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: Doesn't That never happens? Oh, never happens.
• 36:14
  Speaker 7: Now the Vikings are dealing with injuries too, just like
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: the Eagles were dealing with injuries last week.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: So it happens.

  Speaker 2: the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.

• 37:06
  Speaker 2: with Jeff Logoman, the Vikings and the Jaguars at the
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: one o'clock kickoff time this Sunday at EverBank Stadium. In
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: the tough stretch against NFC teams and contenders continues three
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: of the four against the NFC North, which has proven
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: to be the toughest division so far in the NFL.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: They haven't played a lot of division games against each
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: other yet. That's when it gets really fun in late
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: November December and the NFC North, when those physical teams
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: start punching each other.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: That's coming up.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: But the Jaguars of all years have the NFC Dwars
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: on the calendar, on the schedule, and they're right in
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: the mix of it right now with the Vikings coming in.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: There's second place in that division. Of course, the Lions
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: on the road next week. On the other side of things,
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: the Jaguars right there at the bottom of the AFC
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: South unfortunately, and a lot of.
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: Questions, here's the reality.
• 37:55
  Speaker 7: At the beginning of the year, you were sitting there
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: looking at the Vikings with the rookie, potentially rookie quarterback,
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: and you're going, okay, great, now we got a rookie.
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: When ye going to the Bears. Caleb Williams rookie?
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: When right?
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: The Patriots that worked out?
• 38:14
  Speaker 7: When yeah, right, all the rookies that you were going
• 38:16
  Speaker 7: to have on your schedule, sure had worked out that way.
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: And now you're not getting a rookie.
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: You're getting Sam Donald this week with a football team
• 38:25
  Speaker 7: that well, by the way, I think has one of
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: the best coaches in the league. I think I think
• 38:31
  Speaker 7: Kevin O'Connell. What makes him so, what's why do you
• 38:35
  Speaker 7: say that he's been winning? He won with Kirk Cousins.
• 38:40
  Speaker 7: He's been winning with Sam Donald had one heck of
• 38:45
  Speaker 7: a year a couple of years ago. Has handled a
• 38:47
  Speaker 7: lot of change very well.
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 38:50
  Speaker 7: And here's the other thing that I will say. The
• 38:53
  Speaker 7: NFLPA has a survey that goes out that the players
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: literally give a grade and all these different categories, and
• 39:01
  Speaker 7: he was literally the second highest rated coach according to
• 39:06
  Speaker 7: the player survey. I don't know the whole list, but
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: I just know that he was number two. If I
• 39:12
  Speaker 7: had to guess, maybe Andy Reid number one, I'd guess that.
• 39:15
  Speaker 7: I mean, coaches that help you get a Super Bowl.
• 39:17
  Speaker 7: When you're gonna give hi pretty high marks, right, I
• 39:19
  Speaker 7: would greet him in a sure But I mean for
• 39:23
  Speaker 7: a coach that isn't winning a ton of playoff games
• 39:28
  Speaker 7: to have the second highest grade amongst coaches in the
• 39:31
  Speaker 7: National Football League, that's pretty impressive.
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: It'll be a matchup this week.
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: Favorite Viking of all time goo for me Chris Dolman,
• 39:40
  Speaker 7: just because I used to watch him to try to
• 39:42
  Speaker 7: learn to gain some of the things that he had
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: in his game. But you know, when they had it
• 39:47
  Speaker 7: was Keith Millard, Chris Doleman, Al Noga and I'm trying
• 39:52
  Speaker 7: to remember the other guy was big defensive lineman, was
• 39:56
  Speaker 7: a defensive tackle, and you could probably find out who
• 39:58
  Speaker 7: it was. They had four guys in Minnesota that could
• 40:01
  Speaker 7: flat out ball, and I used to turn the film
• 40:04
  Speaker 7: on and watch those guys play, and it was not
• 40:07
  Speaker 7: quite as good as watching Clyde Simmons, Reggie White, Mike Golick,
• 40:13
  Speaker 7: and Jerome Brown, because that was the best watching I
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: ever had. Those guys were amazing. But the guys in
• 40:20
  Speaker 7: Minnesota were just I mean crazy John Randall, Thanks Randall.
• 40:24
  Speaker 7: John Randall was in that mix as well. Yeah, I
• 40:27
  Speaker 7: mean those guys were fantastic. Give me Randy moss All day.
• 40:31
  Speaker 7: That was prime, you know, like teenage years for me
• 40:33
  Speaker 7: when he came out of Marshall and then burst on
• 40:35
  Speaker 7: the scene. He had the three touchdowns and three catches
• 40:38
  Speaker 7: on Thanksgiving that year, remember the infamous graphic where he's
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: saying hi to Mom and the whole I love that
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: stuff and just the.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Way he went about it. And as his career went,
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: we know what happened. Certainly Hall of Fame player Chris Dolmano,
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: and I mean he was just so athletic and strong
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: and then John Randall was just yeah, I mean just sick.
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: Let's come back in a moment.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: Our final thoughts ahead of this Vikings Jaguars matchup. Jags
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: back home this week we're in the White Helmets Salute
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: a service game. This is the Doug Peterson Show on
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Jaguars Radio.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: The Doug Peterson Show presented by Fresh from Florida on
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: the Jaguars Radio Network JP Shadwick with Jeff Vlogerman Our
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: thanks to head coach Doug Peterson. The opening segment each
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: and every week. Ben Leber of the Vikings Radio Network.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: That full conversation soon on the Official Jaguars Podcast Network,
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: and the Minnesota Vikings come to town second place in
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: the NFC North facing the Jacksonville Jaguars. The game delivered
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: by CSX see SX how Tomorrow moves. It's a one
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: o'clock kickoff time. We'll go in the air on the
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: network with countdown to kickoff at twelve noon and get
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: you ready for the matchup. And what a matchup it
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: should be. And this Jags team team has got themselves
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: in early holes. We heard the coach talk about it earlier,
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: and somehow the last couple of times, they'll be able
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: to fight their way back a few times. But at
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: some point, I mean, you can't. You can't do that,
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: get away with it. Look, you're just trying to just
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: trying to get one game right now. I mean, that's
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: all you're trying to do. And you got a wide
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: receiver coming in that's gonna be amped up to play
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: this defense. One hundred and forty million dollar contract, wide receiver,
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: one hundred and ten million dollars guaranteed, and Justin Jefferson
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: he's worth every penny he's he's a heck of a
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: football player, heck of a football player.
• 42:36
  Speaker 7: And then it's going to be Look, I can't I
• 42:38
  Speaker 7: want to see what Ryan Nielsen's going to do. I mean,
• 42:41
  Speaker 7: you've you've got to do something besides just say, hey.
• 42:44
  Speaker 6: You know, hey, we're going to play our defense. Can't
• 42:47
  Speaker 6: do that.
• 42:48
  Speaker 7: You got to do something to stop one of those
• 42:51
  Speaker 7: elite players in the league, like Justin Jefferson. And you know,
• 42:55
  Speaker 7: like last week you got two. It's kind of hard
• 42:57
  Speaker 7: to kind of focus on one of the other because
• 42:59
  Speaker 7: they're both really good good in this game.
• 43:02
  Speaker 6: He's clearly the elite of the two.
• 43:04
  Speaker 7: Addison's not in that category. You're good, so you have
• 43:07
  Speaker 7: to put attention on Justin Jefferson.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: Jalen Naylor is another guy who they've thrown to effectively.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: He's caught most every ball that's been thrown to him.
• 43:15
  Speaker 7: This he's having a career year. But I mean, he's
• 43:17
  Speaker 7: not an that Yeah, he's he's not a shooting tgory.
• 43:21
  Speaker 7: It's not in that category. So Hockinson's back, I mean,
• 43:23
  Speaker 7: so this is a challenge and Hockinson, you know, last
• 43:26
  Speaker 7: week was his first game back, yeat the ACL in
• 43:29
  Speaker 7: December of last year.
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: One of the best tight ends in football. Amazing.
• 43:32
  Speaker 7: The Detroit Lions traded him within the division, which usually
• 43:36
  Speaker 7: doesn't happen.
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: They got though over.
• 43:38
  Speaker 7: There, they got a really good one. But but Hawkinson
• 43:41
  Speaker 7: is a good football player. But you can tell he's
• 43:43
  Speaker 7: not he's not quite. He doesn't have that snap, that
• 43:48
  Speaker 7: that quick twitch that most guys have and that he
• 43:51
  Speaker 7: had before. But he's he's a good player. He's a
• 43:54
  Speaker 7: good player and I think he's gonna help the Minnesota
• 43:56
  Speaker 7: Vikings this year. He's not wearing a knee brace of
• 43:58
  Speaker 7: any kind that you can see watching the film running
• 44:01
  Speaker 7: good routes.
• 44:02
  Speaker 6: It looks like he's got some speed to him.
• 44:04
  Speaker 7: If Josh Heines Allen wasn't available, you think Hawkinson was
• 44:06
  Speaker 7: the pick in twenty nineteen with the Jack.
• 44:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I do. I think he would have been that guy.
• 44:11
  Speaker 7: I think nobody was expecting Josh Allen at that time
• 44:14
  Speaker 7: would be available.
• 44:15
