• 0:18
  Speaker 2: And Welcome in the Doug Peterson Show, presented by Fresh
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: from Florida from the Hyundai Studios at the Miller Electric Center.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: JP Shadrick with Jeff Logoman and Jaguars head coach Doug
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: Peterson in studio with us as always, good to see you, hey, everything,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: this guy's not falling right. The Jaguars are still in
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: command of this thing, and as early as this week
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: you could clinch the division title a win and a
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: couple losses from the other teams. I know you're not
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: gonna want to hear that right now. It's all about
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: the Jaguars though, right it is.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: And we've got enough on our plates to work on
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: and to improve upon, and so we you know, it
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: just comes down to just us taking care of us
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: and doing our jobs and taking care of our business
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: and and and focusing internally, you know, improving as a
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: football team. And if we do that, then, you know,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: then good things are gonna happen for.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: Us, and part of that is bouncing back from a
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: game that was disappointing in all aspects. I mean, you've
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: been a part of that, I'm sure as a player.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: I've been a part of that as a player, and
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: you've been a part of that as a coach. How
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: do you kind of regain the focus to bounce back
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: from a game like that?
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: You know, I think the number one thing is is
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: to put it behind you as fast as possible.
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: Obviously, you know, given given.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: The players obviously Christmas Day and Tuesday off to kind
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: of get away from us and us away from them
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: and and really come back the next day and say, hey, listen, guys,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: our goals are still right in front of us.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: The goal to win the AFC South is still right there,
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: you know, and we've.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Got to do everything we can to to figure out
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: how to win a game and and and you know,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: try to win the AFC South. So you know, I'll
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: tell you this, the guys are still talking the right things,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: they're still believing the right things. There's no finger pointing.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: If anything is, it's bringing us a little bit closer.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: And I think, uh, you know, that's a good thing
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: this time of year.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Well, and getting closer is you can't do it with
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: unless you're close. Do you bring in kind of that
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: leadership group that you have on this football team to
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: talk to them kind of before the week starts, or
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: do you just kind of do that throughout the week.
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: You do it kind of throughout the week, and you
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: kind of let it. For me, it's it's kind of organic, right,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: you just kind of let it naturally happen. And and
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: you know, in our guys, our leadership group, when I
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: met with them on Wednesday, you know, again they were
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: saying the right things and and you know they know
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: that as a team and as individuals, we got to
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: play better. Coaches know that we have to coach better,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: and we got to prepare our players better.
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: And it's not a bunch of like major change.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: It's just focus on the details, focus on some of
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: the little things, some of the simple things that keep
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: you know, creeping up in ball games and and uh
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: and making sure that.
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: We take that to the practice field and we work
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: on them.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: So you know, but when it comes to the players,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: just kind of letting that have and naturally has been
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: the best practice because again, the best teams I've been
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: a part of, player or coach are the ones that
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: are led by the team.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Hey, coach Doug Peterson with us The latest done quarterback
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence. Now is the fourth time he's been on
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: the injury list this season. He's come back to play
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: the next week the last three times, but ac joint sprain,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: throwing shoulder. How different is this one? What have you
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: seen from Trevor this weekend? Have you had one of
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: those injuries before?
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I haven't had necessarily this type of injury. I've had,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: you know, soreness in my shoulder from throwing in different.
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: Things, but not like this.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: And and the challenge is that it's sore right and
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: it's on your on your throwing shoulder, and you know,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: you don't do a lot of throwing during the week,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: and and so that kind of.
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: Hurts you just a little bit because it's a quarterback.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: You need your arm to throw, you know. So you know,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: everything else is fine with Trevor. He does feel good
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: other than that, and it's kind of a day by day,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: you know situation. He's feeling better every single day, getting
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: you know, all the mental reps and staying you know,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: focused and engaged in practice. But you know, again, the
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: biggest thing is just you know, he's not getting the
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: throws that he needs to necessarily prepare for a game.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: One of the biggest things from looking from afar, which
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: is what I do, how do you get this offense?
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Because we're talking about the quarterback position here and it's
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: obviously so probably important in the NFL, But how do
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: you make your offense a little bit less dependent upon
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: that quarterback in other words, to take some of the
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: pressure off of that position to be able to have success.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Maybe if hey, look if it's a little off or
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: if he's not playing, that you're better.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: I think the biggest thing we have to do to
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: take pressure off any quarterback, especially ours.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Is you got to run the football, and you've got
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: to be committed to running to the football. And then
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: that comes from from myself and Press and Phil Rauscher
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: and the guys that are in that that putting those
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: run plans together. That one that we have the right
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: place right that our players are good at, and two
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: as play callers and decision makers, that we stay committed
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: to that it may not look pretty early in a game,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: but you have to stick to the run and you
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: know you can't obviously turn the football over. It kind
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: of gets you out of your rhythm, right, It gets
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: you out of the flow of what you want to
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: get done through your game plan. And then the other thing,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I think the other aspect of that is putting the
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: quarterback on the edge, putting him on the perimeter, getting
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: some movement, throw some simple little completions where the ball's
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: coming out of his hands, things are right in front
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: of him. All those things can help spark your offense
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: and get.
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: On a roll.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I coach a lot of that starts on the offensive
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: line though, obviously, and Cam Robinson was talking in the
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: locker room yesterday, we know he brings a different kind
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: of intensity, energy to the to the line. What is
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: the state of affairs up front right now?
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, we're excited to get Cam back. It's
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: a good time for Cam to come back.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: We are a little beat up on that left side
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: with with Walker and Ezra and both those.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: Guys that played extremely well for us.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: But we are we are.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: Excited to get Cam back out there.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: And as you mentioned, he brings a level of enthusiasm
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: and physicality to the offensive line, and that'll be that'll
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: be a good thing, you know, moving forward, and then
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: and then with with Ezra and Walker too, and then
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: you know with Tyler Shatley. We got to just see
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: how that all kind of plays out this week to
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: see who's gonna take that left guard spot. But all
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: three of those guys are are veteran players. They've all
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: played in there. They know exactly what to expect, and
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: so you know, we're still in pretty good hands with that.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: But we do, you know, love the fact that Camp's.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: Back to do that this week. You've got to go
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: through a guy that wears number ninety five for the
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Carolina Panthers watching the film this week, Doug Derek Brown.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: He doesn't get a lot of fanfare because he doesn't
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: have the sack numbers. But I don't know if there's
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: a better, more dominant player in the run game that
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: I've watched all year long.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: I agree with you this guy is.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: He's fun to watch, even even when you're game planning
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: against him.
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: He's fun to watch.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: He's very powerful, he's quick, got a great first step
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: coming off the ball.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: He can go through you and he can go around you.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: But as you mentioned, there may not be the necessary
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: the pass rush numbers, but in the run game, he
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: is a physical, dominant guy that can take, you know,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: three hundred and thirty pound men.
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: And dump them on their ear with relative ease. And
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: and it's.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Impressive to see, obviously, And so our guys up front
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: know that and will be prepared, you know, for Sunday
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: and do everything they can to slow them down.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: It's one of those games. Brandon Sheriff's gonna have to
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: buckle that chims just a little bit.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: A little bit tighter.
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: That's right, hey, Coach Chuck Peterson with us on the
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: other side. Bryce Young five foot ten, two hundred and
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: four pounds, maybe two hundred and four pounds. But over
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks, it seems like, you know,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: he's battled through this season. It's been a tough stretch
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: for them there, but he's still out there. He's fighting
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: and he's putting together, okay, a little better performances. What
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: do you like about Bryce Young as a quarterback?
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: You know, the.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: Biggest thing is he's improven each week, you know, and
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: you watch what they did against Green Bay and really
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: these last couple of weeks and you're seeing the improvement
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: and the and the you know, the the consistency and
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: the offense just a little bit more. You know, he
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: he's not necessarily turning the ball over like it was
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: early in the season, and and they're just doing things.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: They're kind of simplifying some things for him. And and
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: you know, again defensively, they're kind of keeping teams or
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: keeping them in in these football games, you know, and
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: and and creating some not so many takeaways, but they're
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: creating some punt situations and getting the ball back to
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: their offense. And you know, it's one of the things
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: with with Bryce too, is you know, if you're gonna
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: rush him, you.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: Better be careful because he can escape the pocket.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: He's very mobile, he can he throws well on the run,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: and and he's doing some of that and he is
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: getting help though from the defenses he's playing. There are
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: some penalties and costly mistakes that defenses are allowing their
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: offense to stay on the field. But but you know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: they are consistently getting getting better play.
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: Out of all their guys, and Bryce has been one
• 8:49
  Speaker 5: of them.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: And he's had it was his best performance as a pro. Yeah,
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: the season high points scored for them but traditionally they
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: haven't been scoring a lot of points. Does that change
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: your mindset as a coach going into this ball game? Hey, look,
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: they're not scoring a lot of points and we need
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: to play a style of X because they're not scoring
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: a lot of points. Do you have that mindset?
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Well, you do think about that obviously, But listen again,
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: it goes back to us, and we've got it.
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: We've got our own problems to fix.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: And you know, anytime you can, you can create a
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: three and out or create a takeaway, you know from
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: our defense, right give our offense an opportunity to stay
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: on the field. Those are good things, and so we've
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: got to focus a little bit more on that. We
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: haven't been able to create the takeaways that we did
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: early in the season.
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: We're obviously giving the ball up way too much.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: We got to take care if we can just kind
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: of control those two elements right there, that give away
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: takeaway ratio, at least that gives you a chance to
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: win games.
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you guys have had ten giveaways in
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: the last four games which you've lost. When you've lost
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: like four games in a row and you're trying to
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: get back on the winning side of things. How important
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: is a fast start, particularly against the Carolina team that
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: really has only scored about two points in the first
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: quarter all year long.
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, you look at what Green Bay did.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: They jumped out to a pretty good lead last week,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: I think fourteen points, you know, right away, and teams
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: have done that, and then of course Carolina comes back
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: and works themselves back in these football games. And it's
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: something that I've really talked to our team about these
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: last couple of weeks, is starting fast, whether it's defense
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: or offense. Offense getting points on that opening drive and
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: defense creating either a three and out or a punt
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: situation in that first drive. And you know, we haven't
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: been very good there, and really that kind of takes
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: that takes over again in the third quarter.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: Right that.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: We talked about that middle eight all the time and
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: creating points there, and we haven't done a good job
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: of that as well either. So there's those are areas
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: that we look at and focus on, and but starting
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: fast is something that's critical to the success. I think
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: it's eighty plus percent with teams that are going into
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: a halftime with leads, you know, win games.
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: That's what you want to do right.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: You want to score as many points in the first half,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: take that lead into the second half, and and that's
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: when your defense can take over.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: All right, coach, final thought, final home game of the
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: regular season.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: Gotta have it moment for this team, right it is.
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: It's a gotta have it moment.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: You know, I think back just a couple of years
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: ago when when when the Jags were on the flip side.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: You know, Indy was rolling in here with a with
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: a must win to get in the postseason, and the
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Jags were the spoilers. And you know, it's something that
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: our team is very aware of. I made it aware
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: to them the other day. And uh but but everything's
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: flipped right, and you know, we're the team that that
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: is out in front and Carolina can come in here
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: and and you know, treat this like a playoff game
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: in which.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: We have to and we have to they have to
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: as well.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: And you know, but just again, we just have to
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: continue to focus everything internally about us, you know, minimize
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: the mistakes, play good football, and you know, good things
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: usually happen.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: Coach, thanks a lot, I'd love to you.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: I appreciate it.

• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Thanks to head coach Doug Peterson in the opening segment
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: each and every week, and a lot to digest their
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: quarterback situation up in the air. Trevor Lawrence has not
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: practiced this week Wednesday or Thursday with a ac joint
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: sprain and his right throwing shoulder, So okay.
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: C J.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Bether has been taking the reps. It's happened a few
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: times this season, and Trevor's been back out there on
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Sunday or the game day each short week. You know,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: a couple of short weeks where he's had to do it,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: then coming off the concussion last week.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: But this has got to have a game.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, you got to have your best opportunity to
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: go put together a winning performance. So I wonder what
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: that could be. And I think that's the big question
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: for the head coach this week.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: You know well, and I think Friday tells you a lot,
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: just like it did last week. You know, with a
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: with a quarterback who you respect, and that he can
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: get ready to play a game by having essentially one
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: day of practice, which he's been able to do in
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: the past last year. In this year, you feel confident.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: If he doesn't practice tomorrow, then I think your confidence
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: has waivered a little bit and you may say, well,
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: maybe the best thing that we should do is to
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: get by with CJ. And that's not trying to downgrade
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: CJ or put him down in any way. Okay, He's
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: just he's not the starter, okay, And I think that
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: this team can win with CJ if he has to play.
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: I think he's played well in relief, even though a
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: lot of times when he's played, the games have not
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: exactly been where you'd like it to. Be it's a
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: nice way to say it. Yeah, well, I mean it's
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: easier like in Tampa. With CJ's performance against Tampa and
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: his numbers were eleven to fifteen, ninety four yards a
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: touchdown throw a quarterback rating of one eleven point five,
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: playing ten yards off the ball like it's a blowout,
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: zactly talking about it's very different. You know when the
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: score at that point when he went in, oh gosh,
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: he went in after the last score was Ridley. So
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: the score is thirty to six. You think Todd Bowles
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: is going to play a tight defense when he's got
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: a twenty four point lead. It felt worse than that.
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: Actually it did feel worse than that, but it wasn't.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: So it's different. And look, I think CJ's a good
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: backup quarterback. I think he's a good backup quarterback to
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: one thing, if he has to play that. I and
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: here's what makes me think that, I don't know if
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: Trevor's going to be able to go. And in his
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: press conference yesterday, I mean, you were talking about this
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: a while back, and I'm going to find the exact quote,
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: and he was asked he said on if he feels
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: that he will play this week, and he said, I
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: honestly can't even answer that question right now. Of course,
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: I'll do anything I can be to be out there
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: and play, which he's tough as nails. Give him credit.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: This is a little unique because it's my throwing shoulder,
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: which can make things a little more challenging as a quarterback.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: That right there tells me it's a little different. And
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: when he says unique and he turns the thing unique
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: and it's my throwing shoulder, because I mean, first of all,
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: he's speaking the truth, and Trevor is very honest and upfront.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: So I think I think CJ ends up playing this week,
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: but I don't know. Again, I thought a couple of
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: weeks ago again that he wasn't gonna play with the
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: high ankle and then leaping tall buildings with a single
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: bound all the time. We watched him kind of the
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: first part of practice on Thursday that week, and he
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: was kind of gimping a little bit, and then we
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: saw him kind of jog from one place to another.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: We're like, oh my gosh, you kind of ran. We're like, ah,
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: that's just for show, because then you know, he went
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: in after that and he was done and then Friday
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: came out and had a regular practice. I mean, this
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: dude heals fast. He's young, he heals fast. Could he
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: heal fast with an ac sprain on the shoulder. I
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: don't know, but we'll see. That'd be a heck of
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: a turnaround for sure.

  Speaker 2: and we'll hear from him in just a little while.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: The offensive line though with some possible changes again, we'll
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: get to that next on The Doug Peterson Show on
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: Jaguars Radio.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: The Doug Peterson Show, presented by Fresh from Florida. Food
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: tastes better when it's grown closer to home.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: That's a fact.
• 17:28
  Speaker 6: J P.
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Shadwick, Jeff Logeman.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: I made up that last part, but it is a
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: fact that it tastes better when it's grown closer to home.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: Oh, it always does. You know why? Why? It's pressure.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: It's from Florida raftly Florida Jaguars offensive line homegrown if
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: you will. For the Jaguars offensive lineman could be back
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: in the fold this week.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: Cam Robinson.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: He's been around here for a long time and he's
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: seen some highs around here obviously two playoff runs, and
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: seen some lows around here. And he has the type
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: of temperament to kind of maybe will a group towards
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: some better success up front. So if he's back out
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: there at left tackle, that would be nothing but positive
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: things for the Jaguars.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: There's a there's a number out there, the number with
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: the team's record when he starts and the team record
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: when he doesn't start. Do you have those numbers by chance?
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: Not in front of me? Okay, but they are significant.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: I think that there's only one loss that this team
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: has had when he's been in the lineup, and that's
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: amazing because he was he played in that stretch if
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: you go back, because let's go back. He first came
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: back was with the Buffalo Bills, and then he got hurt.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: I believe it was in the Tennessee game. Uh, the
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: home game against Tennessee. So one, two, three, four, five,
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: six and one, when he's been in the lineup six
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: and one, when he's been on the line of half. Now,
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: is that happenstance or is that because he's really good
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: and he's a great leader. I think it's I think
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: it's partly both. I think part of it happenstance, but
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: also part of it is that he helps his football
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: team in the attitude category. Oh, there's no doubt about that,
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: because and I'm I think and again it's looking ahead.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: You know, we're allowed to do that here. We can
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: do that. We can look ahead the next year, we
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: can do we can look ahead to wherever we wanted to.
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: He's still under contract for next year.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then you know that's that was a lot
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: of the conversation earlier in the season, right was Okay,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: he's out for four games to start the year because
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: of this performance enhancing drug suspension. Oh when he comes back,
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're gonna have to slide him inside because
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Walker Little's been playing left tackle at a high level
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: and this and that, and of course he comes back,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: it's like, oh, that's the reason why he's the left
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: tackle here, right. He has a different sensibility about him,
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: and it's you know, and there was the talk, hey,
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: you can get out of a lot of money after
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: this season against the cap if you just get rid
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: Why but why are you getting rid of good football player?
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: Well?
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Where do you need that money for next year? Right?
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: There's always talk about the quarterbacks signing and all this. Well,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: I don't think that right now. Is that a priority
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: at this moment?
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: I don't think so, no, because I think he still
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: got time to do that contract and just looking ahead here.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: And I've said this for the last number of years
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: and Cam probably would be mad at me if he
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: knew that I was saying this. I think he's the
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: perfect right tackle I do. I think Anton Harrison has
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: natural left tackle feet natural. I mean you heard me
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: earlier talk about how this matchup with Brian Burns that
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: I feel extremely confident that Anton Harrison can handle him.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: I think Anton Harrison has amazing feat and Cam does
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: not have the feet that Anton Harrison has. But Cam
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: has the attitude, the bulk, the size that I think
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: most right tackles you sit there and have a desire
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: for And the Cincinnati Bengals this year they went out
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: in free agency and signed the guy from Baltimore Ravens
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: and then he went to Kansas City and then they
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: ended up signing him. Oh gosh, I can't even remember.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: I can't believe I'm forgetting his name, but his dad
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: was a famous right tackle for the Baltimore Ravens back
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: in the day, Orlando Brown. So Orlando Brown goes to
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: free agency, goes to Kansas City and goes to Cincinnati.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: And then your guy from Alabama, who was the first
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: round pick tackle for them, what's his name they moved him,
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: was your guy. They moved him the right tackle and
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: he was not happy. But you know what, the Cincinnati
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: Bengals said, it's what's best for our team. And so
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: is that maybe what's best for this team in the future.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: Just looking ahead, jumping ahead. And I know a lot
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: of people don't want to do that yet, but I
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: don't want to let good football players go. And I
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: think Cam Robinson is a good football player and I
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: think he would make an exceptional right tackle.
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: By the way, the official number is thanks to Dave
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: decandas for these By the way, Cam Robinson went in
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: the lineup, Jags are six and one and have a
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: plus thirty one point differential, went out of the lineup
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: two and six for a minus forty one point different
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: It's amazing.
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: And that first game he was in the lineup was
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: the game at Tottenham Buffalo Bills games, and then the
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: last game that he played was the at home game
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: against Tennessee, which I believe he got kind of rear ended,
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: not friendly fire, but he had rolled from behind right.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Was that Houston, No, that was Houston game. It was
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: like a.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Weird kind of around the pocket from the other side
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: of the pocket.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Got it it was it was their first round pick.
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: Defensive end Will Anderson ran into the back of him,
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: I believe from the other side right. Kind of a strange,
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: strange situation.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: So I will see it through back in the fold
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: this week and what else could change up front.
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: We're back in a moment though.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Jaguars defense trying to get it on track this week
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: against another number one overall.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: Pick your guy, Bryce Young, Yeah, he's not my guy.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: I like CJ. Stroud better. I told you that last
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: year in a springtime I told you it's a big
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: man sport. And you don't take a five foot nine,
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: two hundred pound quarterback. He's five ten. That's high school measurements.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: It's final. I would love to put him with a
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: real measuring stick up against the wall with no shoes,
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: no carpet.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: I don't believe it's the final home game of the season.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: It's all about you. Jags fans join us this Sunday

• 24:21
  Speaker 2: Week seventeen. Panthers Jaguars coming up at the Bank this Sunday.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: It's a one o'clock kickoff time. We're on the air
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: on the network at twelve noon with countdown to kickoff
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: coming up about five minutes or so. We'll here from
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Fred Taylor. I caught up with him this morning and
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: he is a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: Fame Class of twenty twenty four.
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: We'll get his thoughts on that coming up.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: The Jags defense, though, trying to get back on track
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: your logs, and they have to do it against an
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: offense in Carolina's not playing so well. Bryce Young the
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: number one overall pick in the draft this year, and
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: they've got Adam Thielen, They've got DJ Chark wide receiver.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: But it is far from an explosive group on offense
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: in Carolina.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: No, it's not. And Dj had a heck of a
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: game last week though against the Green Bay Packers, had
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: a couple of touchdowns. Got some former Jags with the
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: Carolina organization right now this week, By the way, just
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: a real quick little snippet on that got Todd Wash.
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: The Jaguars former d line coach defensive coordinator is their
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: defensive line coach in Carolina. Dom Capers is a senior
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: defensive assistant. He was here for a little while. Leaviscus
• 25:36
  Speaker 4: Channault is on injured reserve. Former second round pick for
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: the Jaguars. He's on injured reserve for them. CJ. Henderson,
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: former first round pick of the Jaguars, has been inactive
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: the last number of weeks. I think he started six
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: or seven games earlier in the season for them, and
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: he didn't play very well. And then obviously DJ Shark
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: so Shack Griffin who was with the Houston Texans earlier
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: in the year, they released him and Carolina picks him up.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: So there's a number of former Jaguar coaches and players
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: that are going to be facing this Jaguars team. But
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: how to bring it back in on those offensive weapons.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: I thought DJ had had a fantastic game this past week,
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: fantastic game and had you know, he's capable of some
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: plays like that, And this year has been kind of
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: a tough year for them, But they've got if they
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: both play well, which doesn't happen all the time because
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: DJ sometime is inconsistent. Thelan has his teeth are getting
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: long and can get older. Now I know what that means.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: Thank you. You'dn't have to just I'm just trying to
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: Some people don't JP, and I know sometimes you don't
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: get those things. A little long in the tooth is
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: the way to say that. Thelan is a good possession guy.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: Did you see that one handed catch that he made
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: this past week. I missed that one. He made a
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: one handed catch and it was a little roll out
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: where I can't remember if Bryce Young was scrambling or
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: if it was a design rollout. I think it was
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: design rollout. He throws it to feeling and it's an
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: inaccurate throw. It's way out in front of feeling feeling.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: Literally one hand kind of stops the momentum and then
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: runs into the ball and pulls it. An amazing catch.
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: So he still got some high level skills, but again
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: he's getting a little bit older. Chark is a little
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: inconsistent their tight end position. The one guy, Tommy Tremble
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: had a career day last last week. He had four
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: catches for fifty nine yards. For our guy, Evan Ingram,
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: that's just another day at the office, and that's a
• 27:37
  Speaker 4: career day for their guy. They're running backs are just
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: kind of so so they're not particularly good at yards
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: per carry. So I don't think very much of this offense.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: I don't, I can tell, And I think the Jaguars
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: defense should have a have a really strong day. Did
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: we say that, No, No, we didn't say that. Last week.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: Last we said you got Mike Evans and God went
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: on the other side of the quarterback who oh, by
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: the way, just went to Green Bay and threw up
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: a perfect quarterback rating. That's what we were worried about,
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: especially when Tyson Campbell hadn't been playing. Didn't we say
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: that a few weeks ago? Against the Browns?
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: Though?
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: What was the fourth quarterback we did Flaco. That's the
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: week we talked kind of like this that worries just
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: they didn't do a great job. They had communication errors, Jakes,
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: they certainly did. You better not have any communication airs
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: this week, and you better not have any communication airs
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: early in this game because if you don't again, I'm
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: gonna go back to this. You got to have early success.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: If not, then all of a sudden, there's gonna be
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: doubt that creeps into this football team's mind. Unfortunately, that's
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: the way it works. That's human nature. And if you
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: give them positive, positive results early in this ball game,
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: then they're going to gain confidence because they just they
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: just played a tight game. And the reality is they
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: felt good about that game. Even though they lost by
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: three points, they felt good about it, and they scored
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: the most points that they've scored all year long. So
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: they're probably going yeah, yeah, yeah, We're turning a corner.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: Give him a reason to feel that feeling again. Might
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: be a long day for you.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: In a moment, we'll hear from Fred Taylor, pred the
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Jaguars running back. He's now a Pro Football Hall of
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Fame finalist. Down to the final fifteen and the modern
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: era candidates, and five of those will be enshrined in Canton.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: We'll hear from Fred in just a moment after our conversation.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Earlier today, it's the Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: The Doug Peterson Show, presented by Fresh from Florida. Food
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: tastes better when it's grown closer to home.
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: J P.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: Shadrick Jeff Vlog. I'm been glad you're with us.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: The Panthers and Jaguars coming up with Jack's trying to
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: snap a four game losing skid, still in first place
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: in the AFC South. Fred Taylor, now a finalist for
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of twenty twenty four,
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: announced last night on NFL Network fifteen Modern Era finalists.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Five will be chosen from that list, and earlier today,
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: I caught up with Freddie t for a reaction.
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: Good. I feel really good.
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: It hasn't all, It hasn't completely sun came. Yeah, I'm thankful,
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: you know, I'm grateful. It's another step closer.
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: Man.
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: It's I try to downplay it, but at the same
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: time it's a big thing.
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: But I'm just I'm happy. I guess that's all internal.
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: I don't know how to kind of process it on
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: the outside, you know, because I've gotten a ton of texts,
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: a ton of calls, a ton of people.
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: You deserve it.
• 30:58
  Speaker 7: The public they're rooting for me, and social media people
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: I don't know their rooting for me. So it makes
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: you feel great, right, It makes you feel really good
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: about it all.
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: I know, it's still a lot of work to be done.
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: But what we asked for was an opportunity to be
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: in the room, and this gives us that opportunity. I
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: think that now the fifty selectors, they have an opportunity
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: to understand or get to know who fred Taylor.
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: Was as a player, as a person.
• 31:28
  Speaker 7: You know, maybe understand that I don't have as many
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: touchdowns because I was taken out on them one or
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: two a few times because I was that type of
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: teammate or maybe understand that I faced the best defenses
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: and coaches in a particular division early on in my career.
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: Wasn't a one off. It was fairly consistent. Minus the injuries.
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: That's one of the bigger things highlights. Truly unfortunate, but
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: that was because of how I played the game.
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: But when you look.
• 31:58
  Speaker 7: At some consistency, the seven one thousand yard Russian seasons
• 32:04
  Speaker 7: yard per carry average, I do have sixty six touchdowns,
• 32:08
  Speaker 7: not a ton, but there's a lot of touchdowns there
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: and some other stuff. I played against some amazing Hall
• 32:13
  Speaker 7: of famers who can actually vouch for my career. And
• 32:17
  Speaker 7: when we talk about the eye test, and I'll say
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: this and we can wrap up Hall of Fame talk JP.
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: When Jim Brown said Taylor he's my best favorite back
• 32:28
  Speaker 7: to watch.
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: He's my guy.
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: You know, I think that should, you know, wrap up
• 32:33
  Speaker 7: and solidify the eye test category. I don't believe the
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: selectors need to hear from anyone else when it comes
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: to the eye test part and the rest. They can
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: get it from the guys that I actually played against.
• 32:44
  Speaker 7: Other coaches and in front office people that coached against me.
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: They knew what I brought to the table when I
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: showed up on Sunday.
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: Fred Taylor with us. How did you find out?
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: Well, if I tell you, I might have to hurt you. JP.
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: You know yesterday, you know, I had been talking.
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: I had been working with Sam throughout this process, and Sam.
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: Called me, he said, I think we got a shot.
• 33:15
  Speaker 7: You know, he went to Silly Beings, he said, look,
• 33:17
  Speaker 7: I think we got a shot. And then last night
• 33:20
  Speaker 7: he called me again. He was like, this thing is
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: going to go on at eight o'clock. You know, I
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: was like, okay, what is he saying? Is he saying
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: I should tune in? But I fell asleep because I
• 33:31
  Speaker 7: drove back nine hours from Destin from a Christmas trip,
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: So I slept through the entire thing, much like I
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: had been done in the past.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: I didn't know what it.
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: Would come of what would come of it.
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: But again I woke up to a couple hundred text
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: messages and that was how I found out.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: That's Fred Taylor, Pride of the Jaguars running back now
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: Hall of Fame finalists, And yeah, he's now one of
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: fifteen dogs in. This is gonna be a fun little
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: while here.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm proud of him and very very deserving. He
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: is one of one of the truly great Jaguars and history.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: Texted him early today, told him congratulations, and we had
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: a great little text exchange back and forth, and hoping
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: to celebrate his induction at some point in the future.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it's going to happen this year
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: or in years to come. But there's some great candidates,
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: and he is one of the great candidates. He's the
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: only running back of the candidates. Yeah, that's and that's
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: positive and uh. And there's some great candidates. There are
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: some first timers that are on that list that are
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: amazing players. You know, Darrell Reeves, Dwhite, Freeny Gosh, the
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: Julius Peppers, Carolina Panthers, and Julius Peppers is a guy
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: I think fourth all time in sacks. You know, just
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: on my mind because the Carolina Panthers are coming to town.
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: One of the great players in the history of the league.
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: Played a very long time and to be able to
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: get a one hundred and four nine and a half sacks,
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: oh my god, that crazy number.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: Here are the fifteen finalists. Eric Allen cornerback of the Eagles,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: Saints and Raiders. Jared Allen defensive end from the Chiefs, Vikings, Bears,
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: and Panthers. Willie Anderson offensive tackle Bengals and Ravens. Jerry
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Evans a guard from the Saints and the Packers. Dwight
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: Freeney of course with the Colts, Forever, Chargers, Cardinals, Falcon Seahawks, Lions,
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Antonio Gates tight end, Rodney Harrison a safety, Devin Hester
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: punt returner, kick returner and wide receiver, Tory Holt wide receiver,
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: Andre Johnson wide receiver for the Texans for a long time,
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Julius Peppers, Fred Taylor, Reggie Wayne of the Colts, Patrick
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: Willis linebacker of the Niners, and Darren Woodson safety for
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys.
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: Has some great names, great names, well deserving. You know,
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: Joe Thomas was a guy that played a long time
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: and was a really good pass protector. But here's the thing.
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: I like Joe Thomas, don't get me wrong. Of the Browns. Yes,
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: he's no Tony Biselli. I'm here to tell you that
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: right now. If you're trying to put it this way,
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: If I'm build a football team and I've got a
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: choice of Tony BISSELLI or Joe Thomas at left tackle.
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: There's not even a doubt in my mind it's Tony Biselli.
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: Tony was that much better than a Joe Thomas and
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: Joe Thomas good football player for a long time. But
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: he doesn't. He's not in the same category of Baseli.
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: But some great names on there, Dwight Freeneye, Ronnie Barber,
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, Jared Allen. Jared Allen, I'm a huge fan
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: of played the position obviously, just like Julius Peppers. I'm
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: a big fan.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Fresh from Florida is proud to partner with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Eat like a Jag when you choose Fresh from Florida.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Plenty more ahead when we returned some playoffs scenarios the
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: Jags could clinch this Sunday the AFC South. This is
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: Now and The Doug Peterson Show is presented by Fresh
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: from Florida. Food tastes better when it's grown closer to home.
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: J P. Shadwick, Jeff Lagoman.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Week seventeen, the Carolina Panthers and the Jacksonville Jaguars with
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: a one o'clock kickoff time at the Bank in the
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: home finale for the regular season. Well, the Jaguars have
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: a scenario where they can clinch the AFC South this Sunday.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: The Jaguars must win and the Texans must lose and
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: the Colts must lose, and the Jaguars will be passing
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: out shirts and hats after the game on Sunday if
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: that were to happen. Either way, if the Jaguars win
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: and one of those other two teams wins, would they
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: both win, then it's status quol.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: You move on to next week.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: If the Jaguars win, they would be the division champs
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: next week. So two wins, you can win and be
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: fine no matter what happens. But it can be clinched
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: as early as this week, or you put yourself behind
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: the eight ball, so to speak. If you lose and
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: both of those teams win, you could say goodbye to
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: the division and then you're hoping, like heck for a
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: wild card.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: I hope everybody wins this week. Make it exciting moving
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: on down. Yeah, I'd rather go ahead and get it
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: over with. I know you would, honestly, No, I get
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: what you're saying, but I mean to me, I mean
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: that's the excitement of the NFL is that it comes
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: down to the wire, just like it did last year.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: I mean, it made last year so unique and special,
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: and why not have it be that way again, you know,
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: with the same kind of matchup that that's on the table,
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: but a little different in terms of, you know, who
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: has the ability to get it or not. I was
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: I got I got nullified on that. I buzzed out.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: I got buzzed out. Yeah, But I mean, look, I
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: like and here's the other thing that I like about
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: that scenario. Okay, no buzzer allowed here on this one. Okay.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: The reason I like that it would mean that you
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: have won two games to get in and you've created
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: some momentum for yourself. That's why I like that scenario
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: the best. Yeah, and that's the correct answer. Well done.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: I appreciate the positive thing.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: It would be back to back division titles for the Jaguars.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: The only other time they've done that was ninety eight
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: to ninety nine. And think about like the Patriots, right,
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, they had this great dynasty and quarterback and
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: coach and things they want they want eleven straight AFC
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: East titles some guy by the name of Tom Right.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: But that's that's a different level of back to backness.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: Right that you will is a word, it's unprecedented.
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: But I mean that would be an accomplishment for the Jaguars,
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: back to back division titles and then okay, you can
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: build upon that moving forward.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: The goal is to be a competitive team year in
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: and year out. And you can look at the New
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: England franchise in that era of Tom and Bill, which
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: was I don't think there's ever going to be repeated
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: in the National Football League in its history, I don't think.
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: But every time it seems like you say that that
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: then records get broken anyway. But in today's day and age,
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: that's so incredibly hard. If you looked at the organizations
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: in the National Football League not right now is like
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: model franchises. Who would you model this team after? Baltimore
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: with John Harbaugh, right, Pittsburgh Tom they always have a
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: winning record or better, Patriots with Bill Belichick and Tom
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: Brady all though things haven't been great lately, But you can't.
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, the greatest team ever is that era, that
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: stretch that New England had, But I mean those San
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: Francisco has done a great job lately. I mean the
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: Chiefs Shanahan, the Chiefs with Patrick Mahomes and and the
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: guy that wants to steal the Nuggies. Yeah, it's a
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: great commercial, Andy Reid. And then yeah, I mean that's
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: that's what it is.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: The Bills have kind of taken over the East, but
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: you know, hey, that's in the AFC. So those are
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: the teams that you felt like at the end of
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: the playoffs last year you were trying to compete with
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: and be with.
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: Is the Chiefs and the Bills and those.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: Perennial playoff teams, And right now, at least from the
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: last month, it's like, oh gosh, can we even get
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: to the dance again?
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: It's you haven't played very well, you know, you know,
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: as good as this defense has been, go back to
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: this again, as good as this defense has been at
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: taking the ball away, that things have dried up a
• 41:50
  Speaker 4: little bit in that category lately, which that also has
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: been part of the reason why you're in a four
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: game losing streak. But most importantly offensively, the miss that
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: you've made and turning the ball over is the main
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: reason why you've got to clean that up. You know,
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: the defense ton of takeaways on the season twenty five,
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: but the offense has turned the ball over twenty eight times,
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: twenty eight times this year. That's the number. That's I mean,
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: that's you got to stop the bleeding with that number. Bootleggers,
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: get ready.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: Luke Combs is bringing two nights of the Growing Up
• 42:27

• 42:42
  Speaker 2: in a moment. Our final thoughts ahead of Week seventeen.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: This is the Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Don Peterson Show continues right now.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: Deduc Peterson Show, presented by Fresh from Florida. Food tastes
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: better when it's grown closer to home. The Jaguars entertain
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: the Carolina Panthers this Sunday, one o'clock. Johnson and Johnson
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: sponsor the game this Sunday. The makers have acuve You
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: brand contact lenses, making Vision possible. Proudly based in Jacksonville,
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: visit jjvision dot com. Jags have dropped four straight. That's
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: gotta stop. And we've said that for four straight games.
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's not going to be easy to get back
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: on the winning side of things. And you know, even
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: though I'm saying earlier that this is the worst team
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: in football, you should win. That's why they play the
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: games on the National Football League. And I think Carolina
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: Panthers are gonna come a little bit confident. Yeah, why not. Look,
• 43:47
  Speaker 4: they were able to put up thirty against the Green
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: Bay Packers. They fought until the end. Their quarterback had
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: his best game yet as a pro. So I think
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: they're gonna feel good about themselves in that category. They
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: gotta win a couple of games ago, which was only
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: their second of the season, So I think they're gonna
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: feel good about themselves. But if you're the Jaguars, you
• 44:10
  Speaker 4: have to win this game. Gotta win, gotta have it,
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: gotta have it for so many different reasons, so many
• 44:18
  Speaker 4: different reasons. All right, logs, all Access TV tonight, question,
• 44:21
