• 0:29
  Speaker 2: in studio with us coming off a win last week. Coach,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: how's the feeling in the building after the winning result?
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Gosh, it's great, It's great.
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: It's it's obviously a different air, different feeling, you know, guys,
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: guys are obviously excited. It's been a while and and
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: but you know what, I don't care how they come, right,
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: I don't care if it's two to nothing. A win
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: is a win is a win in this league. And
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: guys are to be commended. They played for sixty minutes,
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: they battled their tails off and uh, you know, we
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: found out and figured out a way to win.
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: What I loved is that, Uh, you know, the game
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: was close, like many games have been before where you've
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: had seven games you lost by one possession. But you
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: guys made the plays necessary. It wasn't like you made
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: a ton of plays on offense, but you made just
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: enough to get the win. Boy, And I love the
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: way that the defense really rose up and just kind
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: of made the plays when they had to to give
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: the ball back to your offense.
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: And the defense has done that, you know, for the.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Most part all season, right, they've they really kept our
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: offense in the in the game. And it was the
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: same way you know this past Sunday, you know, four quarters,
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: offense didn't get rolling to really till the fourth quarter,
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: and and you know, we had we had some opportunities offensively,
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: we just we just you know, sort of shot ourselves
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: in the foot. But I thought defensively, you know it,
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: I know, we gave up the rushing yards and some
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: of that, but when the plays needed to be made,
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: especially down the stretch, we were able to make them.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: We kept them out of the end zone, you know,
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: and some critical fourth down stops deep into the red
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: zone things like that. So you know, hats off to
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: the defense to announce standing Joe.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: And one guy that really I thought came to play,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: which you know, the opportunities were there in the second half.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Brian Thomas Junior. Yeah, I don't know what it is.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: It seems like he is an igniter, kind of a
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: firestarter for your football team, and when he gets the ball,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: the energy level just seems to raise amongst the whole team.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: It does, it does, and and you know, coaching tip
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: of the week is get him the ball sooner and
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: so you know, but that's the thing is is you
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: try early in a football game to to dial up
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: his number, and sometimes the ball is going to go
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: other places, right, I mean, that's that's just the nature
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: of the game. But when he does get the ball
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: in his hand, he's dynamic, he's electric. He's a physical
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: runner more than people think, and he does he brings
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: a nice little spark to our offense. And that's what
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: we needed in that second half to to, you know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: obviously get the ten points to win the game.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Coach, He's one of a number of younger players that
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: really stepped up in that game. Jarian Jones on the
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: defensive side with a sack, couple of passes defense. We
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: know about Tank Bigsby in the touchdown late second year player.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: That's a good sign guys. Really, you know, at this
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: time of year, especially for rookies, there's that wall, right,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: but when they were taking steps in gaining that's gotta
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: be a great feeling for.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: This It's a great feeling. It's a great feeling.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Jarian played probably his best game total, you know, in
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: in total BT, we know BT obviously, you know Buster
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: Brown on Terry Brown played played an outstanding football game
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: last week. I even thought Mason Smith had a better
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: football games as a D lineman last week. So a
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: lot of our young players are beginning to I think
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: the light bulb is coming on on on just how
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: they need to play in these games. Every NFL game
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: is different, but but every NFL game is tough, and
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: there's more of a mental toughness there than there is
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: a physical toughness, right. So I think these guys are
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: learning that they're understanding what we're asking them to do
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: from a coaching standpoint, and you're starting to see that growth,
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: you know, in all those players.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: There was a two defensive plays that kind of stood
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: out in my mind in this ball game. When Tennessee
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: had the ball first and goal with the four Trayvon's tackle.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know if.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: They get any more physical than that. And then going
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: back to the Jari and Jones sack, Tennessee's got slide protection,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: They've got it covered. They've got to tackle on them.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Did you teach Jari and the old dip rip and
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: bend the corner or.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: What they teach that our defensive staff they teach that.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: They teach on.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: Edge rushers like that to really grab some grass if
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: you can, you know, and dip that inside shoulder. And
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: just go back to the play before where he had
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: a PBu I think on Calvin the play before, broke
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: that one up. Then he comes back the exact next
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: play and gets the sack on with Levis. So again,
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: that's just the growth and maturity. And I told Jarion
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: after the game, that's what it looks like when you
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: just do your job and do the things that we've
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: asked you to do. There's maturity in that. And he
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: played an outstanding game and was happy for him.
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: Head coach Jack Peterson with US.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Speaking of maturity, Aaron Rodgers is coming to town this week,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: twentieth year in the NFL, of course, with the New
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: York Jets now, and you know they don't have the
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: record to show for it. We'll get to their defense
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: at a moment. But still Aaron Rodgers, the guy's got
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: over sixty two thousand passing yards in his career.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: It's a lot of yards. It's a lot of yards.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers is still Aaron Rodgers. And you know he's
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: got the weapons around him. You know, Devonte Adams is
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: back with him, obviously, and Garrett Wilson is there, Conklin
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: the tight end, you know, brief Hall earlier. He didn't
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: play last week. But these running backs are electric and
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: their dynamic, you know, and look he our young players
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: in the secondary are really in for a treat because
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: the ball is going to go whistling by their ear
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: and they're gonna go, where'd that come from? You know,
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: because that's who Aaron Rodgers is. He gets the ball
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: out of his hand. He's seen just about every defense
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: out there. He's smart.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: He knows how to manipulate things within his within his
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: own offense.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, sure he may not scramble like he used to
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: or think, but he's still very dangerous outside of the pocket.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: So you know, as somebody that you know, we've got
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: to control the line of scrimmage. I think our d
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: line has got to step up and have a big
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: game this week and then put pressure on Aaron. Miami
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: did some of that last week and and kept him
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: in some longer third down situations, got off the field
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: a little bit, you know.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: So listen, it's it's got to be all hands on deck.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: It's got to be eleven guys doing their job this
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Sunday and and understanding, really studying the tape and understanding
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: what Aaron can do schematically.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: When you've got a quarterback like that and then you've
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: got two weapons, it's it's a lot easier. Like Minnesota
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: came in here and you've got Justin Jefferson one main guy.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: But when you have two like a Davante Adams and
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson took a guy to school last week with
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins that we know pretty well. And how
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: do you how do you schematically stop two guys like that?
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: It's hard to stop too And and that's the thing
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: about it is is Aaron does a great job of
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: getting the ball to these guys fast, right, so whatever
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: he sees, he beats the blitz with a throw. He
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: he's not going to change a lot of protection stuff.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: He just be And and that play you're talking about,
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: he beat Jalen Ramsey on a quick inside slant and
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: the ball goes whistling past the linebacker and it's the
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: next thing you know, it's a twenty five thirty yard
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: game down the middle of the field on a fourth
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: and four.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: I think it was.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: And and and those are the things that you have
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: to you have to prepare for. I don't know necessarily
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: if you're gonna be able to eliminate or stop them completely,
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: because they're good too, right, But if you if you
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: can anticipate and know exactly what is coming, it gives
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: you a better opportunity to to sort of anticipate, you know,
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: those types of plays.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: And minimize them the damage, right so to speak. I mean,
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: because they're going to get their balls, and you know,
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: you try to eliminate that yack the yards after catch, right.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: That's right, that's right.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: So being able to do that, I think I think
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: this team too. If you can get second longs and
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: third and longs and allow your defensive line where he's
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: got to hold the ball a bit, that that right there,
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: I think is where he They're they're giving up some
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: sacks in those areas, right, So that's where.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: We need to you know, kind of hone in on
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: this week.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: Hey, coach Doug Peterson with us.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: You said earlier in the week that this is not
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: a three to ten defense for the Jets. Well, in fact,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: it's the top five defense ranked fourth in total d
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: sixteenth against the run, fourth against the past, good in situations.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: They've got players at every level on this defense, don't they.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, and and and unfortunately, you know, Robert
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: Sala was let go, but it's it's his his kind
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: of fingerprints on this, you know, And and really kind
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: of bringing that San Francisco style of defense and that mentality.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: And now you know, you know o Breaks taking it
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: over and kind of continuing that same thing and putting
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: his spin on it a little bit.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: But look, it starts with ninety five.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, mister Williams as a d tackle, you have
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: to give this guy a lot of respect, just like
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: you did, you know, ninety.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Eight for Tennessee right, Simmons Simmons last.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: Week, and the Chris Joneses of the world, and those
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: interior guys and you know, it starts with him, and
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: then I think that's where Javon Kinlough fifty four is
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: kind of feeding off of that a little bit. And
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: next thing, you know, this whole defense is feeding off
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: of that.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: So solid defense.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: You know, it was a it was a really a
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: close game a couple of years ago. You know up
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: there we had some success, you know, moving the football
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: in that game, but solid defense is going to take
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: a solid performance.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: How important is a game because a lot of people
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: are talking about this, the headlines are kind of like, hey,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: two teams mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. The desire and
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: the want to in a game like this has got
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: to be big and also a fast start.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Right percent, you know. And it's something I've I've talked
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: to my team.
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: About here really over the course of the lit really
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: since we were eliminated, you know, the loss to Houston
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: and even going into Tennessee, it's like, guys, I know,
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: we're not playing for postseason, you know, the chance to
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: play in the postseason and continue our season, but you're
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: everybody's playing and coaching for something, and and it's pride,
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: and you want to put your best foot forward and
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: you want to go out and compete, and and and
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: so I think from that standpoint, there's enough, there's enough
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: energy and excitement around that to just go out and
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: cut it loose, have fun, play with your brothers for
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: another another three hours on a Sunday afternoon.
• 10:18
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: But play well, and you play against good teams, obviously
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: you need to play your best football. And and this
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: is gonna be one of those games where we have
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: to play our best football again, you know, in order
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: to in order.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: To beat this team, because they're very cay.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: There's you know, they're scoring twenty plus points a game,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: you know, and and Aaron's gonna score. I mean, that's
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: just the thing about it. So we have to do
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: our part offensively. We've got to stay on the field.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: We did a better job on third down last week.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: I think forty eight or something percent last week. But
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: we've got to score. That's the that's the key right
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: now is we got to score points.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: And obviously the key to that is your quarterback. Mac
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Jones is gonna make is a fourth start of the season.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: What do you expect out of him now that he's
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: got some games under his belt, you know.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: The expectation is just for him to just see it
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: and cut it loose, don't hang on to it. He
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: he he sees things very well, but I need him
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: to just trust it right And I think I think
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: there's some hesitation just just to touch not not a
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: not a lot.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Because he puts us in the right plays all the time.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: He gets this going.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: But I just needed to go, go be Mac Jones,
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Go do what you do in practice, and cut it loose,
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: have some fun.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Trust the guys. If you see BT open, he's probably open.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Get him the football. And that's that's really just run
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: the run the show.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Don't do anything more or anything less. Just run the
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: offense the way it's designed to go. And and he'll
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: have a lot of success. And and I think building
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: off a couple of weeks ago the Houston game, a
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: little bit last week, putting all of that together, the
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: more comfortable he gets, you know, the better he becomes.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Second time wearing the throwbacks this year, gotta win the
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: last time. So I'm sure you like these right.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Great, I mean, let's do it. Let's wear them every
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: week right here on out. Let's wear the throwbacks. But yeah,
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: it's it's a great uniform.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: It's an honor to wear, you know, the throwback and
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: just kind of represent the old teams of the Jaguars
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: and it'll be a lot of fun.

• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Well that's what that's what you play the game for.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: And when you don't win, it causes a lot of
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: anxiety and a lot of stress across a lot of
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: different uh, a lot of different people. Just the way
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: it is. It's I mean, that's what you sign up for. Yes,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: that's why they get paid the Big Bucks too, you know,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: standards are high. You think the Bucks are pretty good. Hey,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: I just might have mentioned this earlier. I was just curious,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: you know, because Aaron Rodgers is this year cash that
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: he's making with the Jets, because there was a lot
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: made that Aaron Rodgers kind of gave the Jets a
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: discount for them to be able to have the ability
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: to go out and sign some other people. Okay, so
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: cash this year he's making about thirty eight million.
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: Not bad, that's all.
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, right, Okay, in his career he has made ten
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: times that, over three hundred and eighty million dollars. Pretty good,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: that's great. I mean he's that's a twenty year career.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's impressive, very impressive, and Trevor Lawrence will
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: surpass that absolutely if he stays healthy and plays and
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: everything else.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: Hey, enhing.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: That's why they pay those guys the big money because
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: they can be the difference in winning and losing. When
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: you have one, you can win Super Bowls, as Aaron
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: is shown to do. Now that was a few years ago,
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: and Trevor that's the idea as well.
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: There.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: But obviously Doug Peterson had nothing but complimentary things to
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: say about Rogers there, and rightly so. He's seen him
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: a bunch of times and knows the position well and
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: knows that he can be a real danger to a
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: defense that has some younger players.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: On the field.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden, well, look, the Jaguars defense has struggled,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: and I think there's legitimate concern there. The Jaguars have
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: given up more explosive plays than anybody in the National
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Football League. Ranked thirty one against the past they were
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: a thirty second against the Titans. Helped a little bit,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: so now they're not the bottom of the basement, but
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: there's still the bottom of the basement as far as
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: yards allowed. Per game at thirty second, not an easy
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: matchup for them, and Doug is rightly concerned and very
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: complimentary of Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodge is not the same
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: player that he was a few years ago, but he's
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: still a really good player. He still sees the field well,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: gets the ball out of his hands pretty quickly. But
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: they've got some issues and at times he's been the issue,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: and at times the issue has been offensive line or
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: wide receivers. Because you look at the numbers in points
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: per game, they're averaging nineteen point three. You look at
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: the last three games, are averaging about twenty four.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: The last three games, they've had fourth quarter leads that
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: they've blown.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: So they're playing better as an offense in the last
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: couple games. So that's a little bit of an eye
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: opener that they are getting better on the offensive side
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: of the ball. And I think Aaron Rodgers got something
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: to prove. You know, look, when you get brought in
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: to lead a franchise to a Super Bowl and your
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: record is what it is, you know, Look, you're talking
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: about a Hall of Fame guy that's got a lot
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: of pride and from what he said, he wants to
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: play well, if you want to play next year, you
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: need to show that you can lead a team to wins.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: And so he's got a few games left to do that,
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: and he's going to be looking to prove that starting
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: this Sunday here in Jacksonville.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: We're back in a moment.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: We'll get into the other side of the equation this
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: week at quarterback Mac Jones getting another start for the Jaguars.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: That's coming up next, It's to Doug Peterson Show on
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Jaguars Radio.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: And we continue on the Jaguars Radio Network, presented by
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: the University of Florida number one university and the US
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: News and World Reports number one state for education. The
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Doug Peterson Show presented by Fresh from Florida JP Shadick
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: with Jeff Logman or thanks to head coach Doug Peterson
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: joining us the opening segment each and every week. Coming
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: up in about ten minutes a little less than that,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Chris Myers of the NFL on Fox, You'll have the
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: call of this Jets Jaguars game.
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: This week.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: We'll get his thoughts on two teams that are out
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: of the race. The first matchup of mathematically eliminated teams
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: of this NFL season coming up. Mac Jones, though loves
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: logs to see the Jets on the schedule, loves it,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: absolutely has to.
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: I haven't asked him, but I'm sure he does.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: He's five and zero against the Jets in his career,
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: all with New England, so obviously those are again Sack Wilson.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: He's no longer there. He's the backup in Denver. Now,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: we'll see if any of that can carry over this week.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: But it is interesting that the Patriots just kind of
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: have the Jets number. Even though the Jets have this
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: defense that has pieces to it and good parts and
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: good players, Mac Jones has had their number.
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: Well.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: I think we'll give a little credit to Bill Belichick too.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: By the way, congratulations to him. Yeah, to get the
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: job at Chapel Hill. If you were under a rock today, yes,
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Bill Belichick arrived in Chapel Hill. Not going to be
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: so good for my Virginia Cavaliers that high. You don't
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: think so, now, I don't think so. No, I don't
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: think that's gonna help out much. A little more NIL
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: money might help Charlottesville. Yeah, there's not a whole lot
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: floating around in TROLI. I got a feeling that the
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: nil money will become flowing very freely in Chapel Hill
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: now that Bill Belichick.
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: Is in the mix. Absolutely, but it's gonna be fun
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: to watch.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: By the way, I'm totally sidetracking the conversation here, but
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: it's totally worthy of doing that. He's one of the
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: greatest coaches of all time. I mean, and for the
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: greatest coach of all time to sign what was like
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: a five year deal supposedly correct five year deals out there.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: It's an actual public record because it's a public university.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: So yeah, five years ago, five year deal, about ten
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: million a year and how many games away from being
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: the all time winning his head coach in the national.
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: Fifteen to surpass Shula? I mean, isn't that amazing? Yeah?
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: But now, I mean in theory, how many teams would
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: really give him a chance? I mean, the interviewed with
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: what the Falcons last year? Yeah, I don't know, and
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know, like, all right, maybe how many players
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: are really willing to give him full control of everything
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: anymore than Yeah. I think that's probably the big concern
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: that people have about him is that can he work
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: well with others.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: That's just right because it may.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Start out where you know, you know, I want to
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: let the general manager be the general manager.
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: But then you know, you.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Coach wants to pick the groceries a little bit, you know,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: is uh? I think is what he said here are
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Bill Parcell said that years ago.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: Certainly did.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: But yeah, but congratulations to him. It's cool and it's
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: good for the sport. It's good for football, and it's
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: really good for college football. Bill Walsh did it coming out,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: won three Superstars for San Francisco, went to Stanford, had
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: a five year deal there, I think, but ended up
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: really good. The first year didn't perform so well the
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: next twoesay is like nineteen ninety to ninety two, but
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: different time, and then retired a different times. You can
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: pay a good football team now, I mean you can
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: make a team good.
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: Like that pretty quick. Yeah, because you can bring guys
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: in with the nil money, portal everything. Yeah, it's crazy
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: how that is.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: It's literally I mean the college football mid as well,
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: go ahead and just get a union, get a collective
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: bargaining agreement, get a salary cap or however they're going
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: to manage that because it's not going to be equal
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: across the board. But right now it's the wild, wild West,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: and for those that can run it and could fund it,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: can beat everybody else. Absolutely, it's no doubt you can
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: get all the players for the money, right, I mean
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: you it's like it's like baseball. I mean, you know
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: that the Dodgers are going to be good because they
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: got the highest payroll the Yankees. Right, they're going to
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: pay the luxury tax and it's fine.
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: Then they don't care. They don't care. There is no
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: luxury tax to the village football right now.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: By the way, they just gave Soto the mess, just
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: gave him seven hundred and fifty million dollars over like what.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: Ten I forget how many years?
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: It's crazy eighty I think seven eighty.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, all guaranteed, by the way, gosh, Baseball's that's amazing.
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: Good for them though, makes you want to go pick
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: up a glove baseball bat. Yeah. A little too late
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: for me, and you're a little late for us. A
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: little too late. Unfortunately we're back in a moment maybe
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: in the next life.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, come back as a baseball player, left hand switch hitting,
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: switch pitching, home run hitting, Babe Bruce, the whole deal.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah right, I mean you want to be sho he
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: Tani is what you want to know. I want to
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: be Babe Bruce. He pitched right, he was.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: He wasn't a switch hitter though, no I know he
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: was a lefty.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: But I mean, I don't need to switch it as
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: long as I'm busting them out of them out of
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: the fence and all that.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: That's true. We're back in a moment.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Chris Myers has covered some baseball over Here's illustrious career,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: and we will hear from him coming up. He has
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: the call of the game this week on the NFL
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: on Fox. That's next on The Doug Peterson Show on
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: the Jaguars Radio Network.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Welcome Back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: The Doug Peterson Show presented by Fresh from Florida, JP
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Shadrick with you more Jeff Logman coming up shortly. Chris
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Myers has the call of the Jets Jaguars game this
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: week on the NFL on Fox longtime broadcast of course
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: with ESPN. Back in the early days with Sports Center
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: The Up Close Show, he won an Emmy. He covers
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Major League Baseball for Marquee covering the Cubs and of
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: course all over the NFL on Fox each and every week.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: Two three and ten teams going at it this week,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: and we discussed the motivation down the stretch of both
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: the Jets and the Jags.
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well, you know, I have analyst who played the game,
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: and you still have a job to do, right, I mean,
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: whether you're a coach or player, you're still getting paid,
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: and you're still you have fans watching your give a
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: TV audience. You have a responsibility just like we do
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: to call it and you can have a competitive, exciting game,
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: and this one I think will be I don't want
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: to stay there. You know, they're equally disappointing teams from
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: what I know we all expected coming into the year.
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: But I saw some flight for both of them last
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: week and just doing it a little early, you know,
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: scouting Obviously, the Jets, let let's slip away against the
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: rival Dolphins, who they can't seem to be done and
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: in Miami, and they do have Aaron Rodgers who was
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: moving a little bit better than I think he had
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: earlier in the in the year. And for the Jags,
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: you know, the defensive effort was outstanding to be able
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: to pull that off on the road against the team
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: in the division and against the team again they're trying
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: to find their way. But I do think Max, you know,
• 24:41
  Speaker 6: Max got to play better, right, Max Jow's got to
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: you know, thrust into that position. He's had some time
• 24:46
  Speaker 6: in different places he gets to win, but didn't do
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: enough I think really from from his side of things.
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: So thankfully the defense was able to pull them out
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: the big run by by Bigsby. So what will we
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: get this week? Well, at the Jags defense, they have
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: to be on their game against a guy like Rogers
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: who always gives people that jump off size. He does
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: have his array of receivers when you think of you know,
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: Wilson and Devanta Adams and less Art is one of
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: his favorites who's back, so that makes him always always difficult.
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: And again, as I said, he's moving around a little
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: bit better. And all it takes is one big play
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: from him and the offense. And if your offense, meaning
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: the Jags can't can't put up points, then you're in trouble.
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: So that to me is a key this week. I
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: think the defense will be fine, improving and at home.
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: That's the plus. The offense has to have some dries,
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: but get touchdowns at the end of matfield goals.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Chris, You know, there's a lot of big picture talk
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: around the Jaguars these days. It's year three for head
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: coach Doug Peterson, it's year four for Trevor Lawrence. He
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: had a lost season in his rookie year in twenty one.
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: He was injured a lot last year. At some point
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: this the injury bug has to be a concern when
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: you've already paid a guy two hundred and fifty million
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: dollars in a contract.
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: You know, I know you're not a doctor. If maybe
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: you are, we haven't really talked.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: That much, but how concerning is that when your franchise
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: guy just continues to get injured year after year.
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you could ask the Dolphins about that as well,
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: right just now. And then you look at guys like
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: Baker Mayfield that are running and jumping and falling and
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: playing hurt. So sometimes it's just unfortunate, And I don't
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: think it's a lack of Having covered some of the
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: jag games in the past, have been around Trevor Wilson,
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: his his commitment and what he does to prepare physically.
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: I have, and this is what coaches have told me
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: in the past, or those that who played the game.
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: The taller, more angular quarterbacks, you know, the frame that
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: the big the taller you a get. You have to
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: be a certain size obviously to be able to throw
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: over people. But they they do seem more susceptible to
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: some injuries, whether it's you know, the bigger wind up
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: or when they slide or a bigger target. I'm not
• 26:49
  Speaker 6: sure about that, and no I'm not a doctor, but
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: it is a concern, especially when the organization, the franchise
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: has committed so much to Trevor Lawrence. But you talk
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: to him, You like the guy. He prepares, You believe
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: in him. His teammates do and again early and I've
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: been playing well even before the injury, or is he
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: the offense wasn't in fairness to him, but you know,
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: you lose Gabe Davis and Christian Kirk and they're going
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: you know, he's starting receivers. So some other teams can
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: adapt a little bit easier. The Jags didn't. And and
• 27:18
  Speaker 6: I really, in the bigger picture of things, I expected
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: having been around Doug Peterson covered some of those successful
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: years with the Eagles. I expected big things here and
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: I'm not sure why it hasn't worked. Obviously, the health
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: of the quarterback is one thing, but I'm just I
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: can't seem to figure that out. And that's up to
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: ownership and the front office, and if there's needs to
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: be changes there when they review things and they know
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: better than I they've been watching on a daily basis,
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: then I think that's what around the league. I think
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: that's what's anticipated. And I hate to speak like that
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: for coach Peterson or Trent Bulk, who you know have
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: their current jobs, but ultimately that's what's out there, and
• 27:57
  Speaker 6: I don't know what ownership is thinking, but ultimately we'll
• 28:00
  Speaker 6: find out what a strong finish in a team fighting

• 28:59
  Speaker 5: You're right, Yeah, that's.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: No Mark A long time. That's your guy, super super
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: good guy. Was a really good guard in the National
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: Football League. Played for the Washington Redskins now the Washington Commanders.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: But and he was tough guy. Part of the Hogs,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: you know, the kind of Hogs, Part two, not the original.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: And the one thing about that was remarkable about Marshall
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: ureth is the number of knee surgeries that he had.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: I don't remember the exact number, but I'll have to
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: research that, you know, which means google that. But he
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: had some crazy amount of knee surgeries through his career.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Probably got knee replacements now, I would think so. But
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: also not only was he good in Washington, he continued
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: his career in Denver and won a Super Bowl there
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: with John Elway during their heyday as well. So I
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: think he was on three or four Super Bowl teams
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: in his career. Wo Yeah, and a very good broadcaster,

• 30:14
  Speaker 5: He does Tampa in the preseason. Yeah.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: I believe so because we always see him at you know,

  Speaker 2: and got the job done, allot only six points to Tennessee.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: A little different challenge this week. Hall of fame quarterback,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: guys on the outside that can really play and DeVante
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Adams who's been at it for a long time, with
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers and Garrett Wilson, young up and coming player
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: in the league and a talented wide receiver. And they've
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: got a running game a little bit too. I mean,
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: now they're three and ten, we get that, but they
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: they have the weapons that can hurt a defense like this,
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: Well they've been I'm actually was sitting in here typing
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: up my uh you know, asked the experts about the
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: outcome of the game with John Oacher. John Osher publishes
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: on Saturdays on Jaguar Do you got.
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: To do that to haven't done mine?
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: I was in the midst of doing that, and I
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: was just writing that this is a game that you're
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: gonna have to worry about stopping the two wide receivers
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: that Aaron Rodgers has. I mean, if you look, both
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: of those guys are coming off their best game of
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: the year, both of them combined. They had twenty three catches.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: I will just type this in twenty three or excuse me,
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: sixteen catches for two hundred and twenty three yards and
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: a touchdown. So these guys are legit, and Garrett Wilson
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: will get anybody turned around.
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: Turned around.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Jalen Ramsey quite a bit, as Doug Peterson talked about,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: and it was multiple times that he got Jalen Ramsey,
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: not just one, he got him multiple times. And then
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Jalen have some good plays as well, but Jalen used
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: to be able to lock down anybody. Garrett Wilson's a
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: talented player. I don't know if you happened to see
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: that circus catch that he had earlier this year. I
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: think it was against the Texans where it was just
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: a crazy catch. I mean, just guys got super souper
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: or talent and he gets targeted a ton. I mean,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: I think he's one of the most targeted wide receivers
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: in the National Football League. So Aaron Rodgers is going
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: to throw the ball his way a ton. By the way,
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: second most targeted in the National Football League. Wow, one
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: hundred and twenty eight targets. Geez, it's a lot feed him. Yeah,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: Well to Waynean, Devonte Adams is not getting those kind
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: of targets, and I think he's getting a little ticked
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: off about it, you know, because Aaron's supposed to be
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: his guy, and he gets the trade to come to
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: hang with Aaron, and he's not getting the targets that
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson is. But then again, Garrett Wilson's a little
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: bit He's got a little bit of juice to him.
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: He does.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: He's young player, good player. Jet's gonna have to pay
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: him after this year.
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: Probably, so do they have any money left? Yeah, that's
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: a great question. Yeah, I don't know. We'll see, we will.
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: We're back in a moment.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Three former Jaguars named to the College Football Hall of Fame.
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: We'll get to those guys when we come back. It's

  Speaker 2: former Jaguar inducted to the College Football Hall of Fame

  Speaker 2: Justin Blackman, Oklahoma State.
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: The freak. Absolutely. When I say the freak, he just
• 35:54
  Speaker 5: for a freak athletically and two.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Time Politnikoff Award winner and two time unanimous All American
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: and ten and eleven fantastic receiver in college.
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: Sir.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: I just hope that Justin is doing okay in life.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: You know, he's one of those guys that I always
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: kind of worried about, always rooted for, liked him, had
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: some demons, always rooted for him, always will, and I
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: hope he's doing good. They were all at the words ceremony.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: It looked like on the video the other night they
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: had him all on the dais together and everybody get
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: to speak a few words and things, and so you
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: get to hear from all those guys. Yeah, Justin was
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: one of those guys that never had blazing speed, but
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: he just had a dynamic control of his body. And
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: I used to say this about him back when he
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: was playing here. I was like, you know, he's you.
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: Know, like a cat.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: If a cat loses balance and falls off of a fence,
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: it lands on its feet, right, And you always wonder
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: how in the world do they do that?
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: They just had that ability.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Justin athletically used to have a freakish ability to contort
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: and control his body kind of in that fashion. Obviously
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: you couldn't throw him up and he couldn't land on
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: his feet, you know, from a fence or whatever. But
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: my point is it's just the freakyt athleticism and balance
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: and coordination.
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: Wait, super super talented guy, but again, massive catch radious too.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: If anything's like near him, he's that was and it
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: wasn't because of any of his measurables. It was because
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: of that athletic control that he had of his body,
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: which was just impressive to watch.
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: And uh yeah, a super guy. Liked the guy. I
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: know he had his issues and I wish him well.
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: I hope he's doing good.
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: I'll never forget twenty twelve, that game down in Houston
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: where they go up and down the field all game one,
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: Blaine Gabbert gets hurt and he comes in on relief
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: in the first quarter and it is game on, and
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: it's Blackman and Cecil Shorts going off with the Jags,
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: and of course Johnson going off for the for the
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: Houston Texans in that game, and Johnson got to catch
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: it overtime for the touchdown. In a perfect world, you'd
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: love to have a guy that has kind of that
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: skill set that Justin Blackman had to pair with a
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: guy that has the go deep ability of a Brian
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Thomas junior. You know, I mean, if I had to
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: like pick one of the most unherlded wide receivers in
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Jaguars history, not you know, the lesser known guys are
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: the guys that haven't proved it yet or still we're
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: very young or are young. I mean, those two guys
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: would be right there the top. And obviously Jimmy and
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Keenan and those guys are, you know, at the top
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: of the list. But as far as young guys going,
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: and obviously Justin's not young anymore. But we didn't see
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: him past his youth here. You know, he never got
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: asked that point. You never did black men in that game.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: By the way, seven catches two hundred and thirty six
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: yards a touchdown, eighty one year arder Andre Johnson fourteen
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: for two seventy three in a touchdown in overtime, and
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: just jose if I remember right, Justin had like a
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: like a size fifteen shoe or something like right, yes, I.
• 39:12
  Speaker 5: Remember when somebody told me that.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: I mean literally the first time I met him, I said,

  Speaker 3: Jake P.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Shadwick with Jeff Flogoman. Jets Jaguars coming up. Our final
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: thoughts in a moment left a former Jaguar out.
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: Of the college football He did, Dion and former Pittsburgh Steelers.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, first round pick Thorpe Award winner in ninety two,
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: part of the nineteen ninety Colorado National Championship team and
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: was here with the Jaguars ninety seven to ninety eight.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: My apologies to Dion figures. Dion was a talented corner.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: It was kind of surprised that, you know, there was
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: there was always something about him that never kind of
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: made him latch on, you know, one place for very long,
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: because first round pick, and Pittsburgh moved on from him,
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: lasted in Jacksonville for a while and the Jaguars moved
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: on from him. But outstanding college football player that was
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: back when Colorado was paying the hell out of their
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: players before anil not quite the SMU version of nil. No,
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: they didn't get the death penalty, but they got pretty
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: close to it.
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: Got a national championship.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I share one at least. Yeah, they get many.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Georgia Tech that year best money can buy right there
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: that year. JP they were paying them. Now, I mean yeah,
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm just saying they.
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: Were paying them a little jealous. There's someone.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not jealous. I mean, look in the A
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: c C. Back in the day when we used to
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: play Clemson, we knew they were getting paid way better
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: than we. We didn't get any money. Oh yeah, like
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Lily White and okay, no money really zero, squeaky clean Clemson. No, okay, man,
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: they've been paying their players long before n I l
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: As was.
• 41:34
  Speaker 5: Listen to this. This is you know, old rivalries. Die hard.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: Come on, man, No, I kind of know that for
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: But tell us about Virginia to I bet those guys
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: all got No. I don't know anything about that. Yeah,
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: I don't know anything about Virginia Tech. I just know
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: first hand at Clemson players got paid.
• 41:52
  Speaker 5: That's fine, Okay, some friends who went there JP.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: I know, but don't tell me how much Shatley made.
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: Big.
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: We gotta ask Shatley.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: We got to get him on the show and ask
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: him how much money Clemson was paying after show podcasts
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: that we're still trying to do all right, Jets Jaguars
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: just joking about that. Of course Chaleie getting paid. He
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: was probably like mal Trevor is probably getting paid.
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: Just kid love it.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Hey, two teams out of the race, but four games
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: to go. You gotta finish. Hey, the game of want JP?
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: How much do the Jags want it? It's a game
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: of want, you know, and I mean where that's where
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: you're at. You know, both teams are at that point
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: this year. The Jets a little bit more, uh, facing
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: that news recently. So it'll be interesting to see how
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: they respond this week facing their reality because they are
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: now mathematically eliminated and the Jaguars have had that reality
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: for a week already and we're able to win last week.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: So it's gonna be a game of want. Who wants
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: to play? Who wants to play? Well, who's got more
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: to play for? I think everybody's got something to play
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: for him because you're always trying to play for the
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: individual corporation that you are as a football player, in
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: the individual corporation that you are as a coach. You know,
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of coaches that are going to be
