0:02
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Doug Peterson Show, brought you by the
0:05
Speaker 1: Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. J Shadrick
0:10
Speaker 1: and former Jaguar Jeff Logoman discussed the latest Jaguars news
0:14
Speaker 1: with the head coach. The Doug Peterson Show starts right
0:18
Speaker 1: now and welcome in. It's week thirteen and the Doug
0:21
Speaker 1: Peterson Show continues. J P. Shadrick with Jeff Logoman and
0:25
Speaker 1: the Jaguars head coach Doug Peterson. After a fantastic win
0:29
Speaker 1: a week ago, early stops in the red zone by
0:32
Speaker 1: the defense kind of kept it within reach. The offense
0:35
Speaker 1: then got going eight lead changes in the game, three
0:38
Speaker 1: of those in the fourth quarter, the two minute drive
0:41
Speaker 1: to get it done at the end with big time
0:43
Speaker 1: throws from Trevor Clutch catches. That's a full team win
0:47
Speaker 1: last week. Coach, it was, it was, and it was
0:50
Speaker 1: it was really something I think that um one, we
0:53
Speaker 1: needed it, you know, in in really um the sense
0:57
Speaker 1: of sort of finishing finishing game, finishing a drive, finishing
1:02
Speaker 1: a series. You know, it's kind of something I talked about,
1:05
Speaker 1: you know, coming out of the bye week, things that
1:07
Speaker 1: we haven't been able to do. You know for the
1:08
Speaker 1: first ten weeks of the regular season and and we
1:11
Speaker 1: found a way and you know, it's one of those
1:13
Speaker 1: games where, um, you know, defensively, I thought did a
1:16
Speaker 1: nice job of of stopping them, you know, a touchdown
1:19
Speaker 1: here there by Baltimore. Maybe it's a different outcome whatever,
1:22
Speaker 1: but I thought the defense holding them to field goals
1:25
Speaker 1: and kicks, and that's a that's a that's a high
1:27
Speaker 1: powered offense. You know, they got a dynamic quarterback. They
1:30
Speaker 1: run the football extremely well. He can throw the ball
1:33
Speaker 1: and he can beat you with his legs. So um,
1:36
Speaker 1: and then the offense, you know, stepping up struggled early.
1:38
Speaker 1: I think the first and third quarters we had some
1:40
Speaker 1: difficulty they're moving to football. But the second and the
1:43
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, which is where we've struggled. Um. You know,
1:46
Speaker 1: early in the season we came out scored points and
1:48
Speaker 1: then you know, ultimately put the two minute drive together
1:51
Speaker 1: two point conversion for the win. Early in the game,
1:53
Speaker 1: when you talk about the struggles, Travis Cytiang goes down
1:56
Speaker 1: with an injury. But man the third drive of the game,
2:00
Speaker 1: Michael Haste he played a prominent role running the ball
2:03
Speaker 1: and then catching the ball down the boundary on a
2:05
Speaker 1: touchdown pass. Uh. That was big for him to contribute
2:09
Speaker 1: like that in a game in which Travis c E.
2:11
Speaker 1: Tien is not there and the running game is really
2:14
Speaker 1: kind of struggling the game it's footing exactly. You know,
2:17
Speaker 1: Ja Michael has been a um been having a backup role,
2:21
Speaker 1: you know, as a running back. He's been a special
2:22
Speaker 1: team's contributor for us. You know, really did a nice
2:25
Speaker 1: job stepping in understanding, uh, the job that that that
2:30
Speaker 1: we asked him to do in the situations that really
2:32
Speaker 1: some of those plays where Travis's plays, you know, and
2:35
Speaker 1: and the touchdown passed to him was actually a Travis play,
2:38
Speaker 1: and um, you know, it just goes to show you
2:41
Speaker 1: just the type of person he is. He understands his role.
2:45
Speaker 1: You know, he didn't get a lot of reps at
2:47
Speaker 1: that particular play during the week, but he understood it.
2:49
Speaker 1: What a great catch you know for the touchdown and
2:52
Speaker 1: really still played special teams, still ran hard for us,
2:56
Speaker 1: you know when when we could run the football. Just
2:59
Speaker 1: a great performance by by Jamichael. How important is it
3:03
Speaker 1: for the running back position to have good hands in
3:07
Speaker 1: your offense because you're doing a lot of things with
3:09
Speaker 1: those guys out of the backfield. I think it's important.
3:12
Speaker 1: You know, It's one of the things we look for
3:14
Speaker 1: in the off season when we're looking at Nick College
3:16
Speaker 1: on these college players is how well can they catch
3:18
Speaker 1: the football out of the backfom You don't see a
3:19
Speaker 1: ton of it in college when you're scouting these guys,
3:22
Speaker 1: you know, because college the passing game is a little
3:24
Speaker 1: bit different at that level. Um, but guys like t J,
3:28
Speaker 1: guys like Jamichael even Snoop Connor, Um, you know, we're
3:32
Speaker 1: gonna throw him a screen from time to time, and
3:34
Speaker 1: we love for them to catch the football or out
3:35
Speaker 1: of the backfield. It just opens up your offense a
3:38
Speaker 1: little bit more maybe when you can you know, empty
3:40
Speaker 1: the backfield and use these guys on some choice routes
3:43
Speaker 1: and some shin routes and different things that uh, you know,
3:47
Speaker 1: um to utilize their strength and and just uh it
3:50
Speaker 1: makes you a little more diverse on offense. Alright, So
3:52
Speaker 1: I got the choice route, you know, lingo down shin route.
3:56
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to explain that to me at some point.
3:59
Speaker 1: Jamal Ladnew was also kind of in that role. I mean,
4:01
Speaker 1: here's a guy that, uh, I don't know what you
4:03
Speaker 1: would call him running back, wide, receiver, do all whatever
4:08
Speaker 1: you want to call it. But he had a big
4:10
Speaker 1: part in this offense as well. He did. And you know,
4:14
Speaker 1: coming back from his injury there a couple of weeks ago,
4:16
Speaker 1: he's really uh, kind of settled into a role where
4:19
Speaker 1: we've used him, um in a in a couple of
4:22
Speaker 1: different positions. You know, he we understand he's got some
4:24
Speaker 1: great speed, right we utilize that speed down the field
4:26
Speaker 1: and and try to create some matchup opportunities with him.
4:29
Speaker 1: And and you know, he's such a smart savvy player
4:33
Speaker 1: that you know, you can kind of line them up
4:35
Speaker 1: anywhere within your within your system, and he's gonna he's
4:39
Speaker 1: gonna get open. He he just understands what we're asking
4:41
Speaker 1: him to do. And and um, you know, kind of
4:44
Speaker 1: that Swiss army knife a little bit, you know, utility guy,
4:47
Speaker 1: great returner for US. UM getting healthier and stronger now,
4:51
Speaker 1: you know, down the stretch and and we're gonna need
4:53
Speaker 1: that by everybody. Doug Peterson show rolling along, of course,
4:56
Speaker 1: the quarterback Trevor Lawrence, now over one d the last
5:00
Speaker 1: three games in a row, a career high rating last week,
5:04
Speaker 1: great in the fourth quarter, even better on the final
5:07
Speaker 1: drive of the game to get down the field after
5:09
Speaker 1: a sack and then things weren't going so great, and
5:12
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the third down throw to make
5:14
Speaker 1: it fourth and short. He's executing big time throws in
5:17
Speaker 1: a big time situation. And that's got the fan base
5:21
Speaker 1: certainly fired up and ready to go. I know it
5:22
Speaker 1: has the locker room fired up and ready to go too.
5:24
Speaker 1: I'm sure, well I would love to take credit for
5:27
Speaker 1: his rating, um, but but quite honestly, this guy, this
5:31
Speaker 1: guy works at his craft every single day, every single
5:34
Speaker 1: week in practice. I mean, you look at some of
5:36
Speaker 1: his numbers and where he is right now and just
5:39
Speaker 1: how um I'll say this, I've I've kind of gone
5:43
Speaker 1: on record, I think saying this is that Denver game,
5:46
Speaker 1: you know, the mistake he made in the goal line
5:48
Speaker 1: deepen on, you know, in the red zone there. I
5:49
Speaker 1: think that really bothered him and it really affected him
5:52
Speaker 1: and and kind of a wake up call, you know,
5:55
Speaker 1: uh to where he's played extremely well since that point.
5:58
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously don't want to be the guy
6:00
Speaker 1: that kind of lets your team down at any at
6:02
Speaker 1: any time, but you know, particularly Trevor, he's he's really
6:05
Speaker 1: hard on himself. He's critical on himself, but at the
6:08
Speaker 1: same time, you know he takes coaching extremely well. And
6:12
Speaker 1: you're just seeing those gradual kind of incremental increases and
6:16
Speaker 1: in in in his performance each and every week. And
6:19
Speaker 1: and that's what as a staff we're excited about. And
6:21
Speaker 1: of course myself as a head coach, just understand your
6:23
Speaker 1: quarterback is getting better taking care of the football, you
6:27
Speaker 1: know here in the last few games, and and um,
6:30
Speaker 1: you know, playing playing within himself and playing within the system.
6:33
Speaker 1: Interesting that you talk about that Denver game, but the
6:36
Speaker 1: maturity that he's displayed I think throughout has been impeccable.
6:41
Speaker 1: But you talk about the Denver game before the half
6:44
Speaker 1: against Baltimore, same exact play call that he threw the
6:47
Speaker 1: interception against Denver. This time he immediately throws it out
6:50
Speaker 1: of bounds. Earlier in the year, he threw an interception
6:53
Speaker 1: on a third and very long when he tried to
6:55
Speaker 1: gain all of the yardage in one throw. You have
6:57
Speaker 1: the same type of situation in this ball game on
7:00
Speaker 1: a third and twenty one and he takes what's there
7:02
Speaker 1: and knowing that it's gonna be a four down situation.
7:05
Speaker 1: I mean, those are are things that he's shown now
7:08
Speaker 1: that he's learning from and you've played the position, do
7:12
Speaker 1: you sometimes have to go through it every time and
7:14
Speaker 1: sometimes maybe multiple times and fail to learn? You do, um,
7:19
Speaker 1: you really do. And and you know sometimes as coaches,
7:22
Speaker 1: we we feel like we're we're very redundant. We like
7:25
Speaker 1: where we're like, I feel like I'm a broken record.
7:27
Speaker 1: Sometimes we keep repeating ourselves, repeating ourselves, repeating ourselves. But
7:31
Speaker 1: you need to repeat yourself one more time, and you've
7:34
Speaker 1: got to repeat it again the next week because you
7:36
Speaker 1: know you want to drive the point home. But we
7:38
Speaker 1: understand too that possessions, possessions in this league and in
7:43
Speaker 1: each game are important, right and and the more we
7:46
Speaker 1: can number one, take care of the football, or stay
7:48
Speaker 1: on the field on third down, get off the field
7:50
Speaker 1: defensively on third down, just or take an on site
7:54
Speaker 1: kick at Kansas City and steal an extra possession or
7:57
Speaker 1: maybe a fourth down, those are all the things that
8:00
Speaker 1: you know, we put our quarterback with our team in
8:01
Speaker 1: those situations and scenarios so that you know they ask
8:06
Speaker 1: for the two point conversion. They want to go and
8:08
Speaker 1: win the game last week, and it doesn't necessarily have
8:11
Speaker 1: to be my decision. It can be it can be
8:13
Speaker 1: just that. And so the team is building confidence with
8:17
Speaker 1: amongst themselves. Were building confidence you know, uh, within the
8:20
Speaker 1: players and and it's really good to see that this
8:23
Speaker 1: time of year. Um, you know things sure, you know
8:27
Speaker 1: we're four and seven or whatever, but but things are
8:30
Speaker 1: beginning to sort of click and and sort of hitting
8:32
Speaker 1: that right direction. Let's go to the Microsoft surface for
8:35
Speaker 1: a social media question for the head coach, and this
8:38
Speaker 1: is about the defense and a change last week from
8:41
Speaker 1: that Stevie one, how did Chad MoMA played his first
8:44
Speaker 1: career started? Do you see that continuing? Chad played, um,
8:49
Speaker 1: you know, of the snaps on defense and and really
8:52
Speaker 1: did a nice job. Plus he played special teams for us.
8:54
Speaker 1: He he's a great young kid. Um, he'll get better
8:57
Speaker 1: each and every week. He will play again this week,
8:59
Speaker 1: and and and being the being the starting rotation in
9:03
Speaker 1: the mix and and and again this is nothing it's
9:06
Speaker 1: nothing against Devin. I don't there's no lack of confidence
9:08
Speaker 1: with Devon. This is just a matter of making sure
9:10
Speaker 1: we have the best of eleven on the field and
9:13
Speaker 1: and and making sure that we're helping everybody. But Chad,
9:16
Speaker 1: Chad played well and Um, you know, looking forward to
9:18
Speaker 1: watching him and play again this week. Found it interesting
9:20
Speaker 1: that I guess he farewell didn't want to give him
9:23
Speaker 1: up on punk protection. How I mean punk protection. Know,
9:26
Speaker 1: you have to have guys that you trust on that unit,
9:29
Speaker 1: and he just didn't want to take him off of that.
9:31
Speaker 1: He did not want to give that one up. And
9:33
Speaker 1: and I don't I don't blame him. You know, Chad's
9:35
Speaker 1: Chad has been one of our best protectors on on
9:37
Speaker 1: punk protection. And and look, with the way the Special
9:40
Speaker 1: Team's rules are nowadays, you know, you can't afford to
9:43
Speaker 1: give up a block kick or a punt um and
9:46
Speaker 1: so punt protection becomes critical. He's done a nice job
9:48
Speaker 1: there and we'll continue keeping him there on punt protection. Yeah,
9:52
Speaker 1: this week, Detroit Lions and good offensive line, really good
9:56
Speaker 1: running game. Chad hopefully learns a little bit. It's a
9:59
Speaker 1: little bit better this week, for you had a great
10:01
Speaker 1: game last week. Those guys are gonna have to play
10:03
Speaker 1: pretty well. They're gonna have to play extremely well, you know,
10:06
Speaker 1: stopping the run. Um, you know, Jared Goff is playing better,
10:08
Speaker 1: They're scoring points on offense, and and you know it's
10:11
Speaker 1: a it's a dangerous football team. I I feel like
10:14
Speaker 1: they're in a very similar situation that we're in, you know,
10:16
Speaker 1: four and seven, and and they're getting better as well
10:19
Speaker 1: as the season goes on. And and defensively they've got
10:22
Speaker 1: they've got some talented guys over there. You know, Aidan Hutchinson,
10:25
Speaker 1: second overall pick at defensive and five and a half
10:27
Speaker 1: sacks this year. He's playing, he's playing pretty well. So
10:30
Speaker 1: you know, again it's um you know, an opportunity for
10:34
Speaker 1: us to go on the road, UM Dome stadium, loud
10:37
Speaker 1: environment and try to pull out a win. Stretch run
10:40
Speaker 1: is upon his final thought here, coach, chasing the Titans
10:44
Speaker 1: in the division. Everybody is right now, three back, six
10:46
Speaker 1: to go to head to head matchups. Do you put
10:48
Speaker 1: that out in front of the team or is it
10:50
Speaker 1: a little too early still for that? I don't think so.
10:53
Speaker 1: I don't think he. I don't think it's too early
10:54
Speaker 1: for that. You know, with six games to go, everything's
10:56
Speaker 1: right in front of us, Our goals are right in
10:58
Speaker 1: front of us. It's obviously a you know, a one
11:01
Speaker 1: game sort of season as we as we continue here
11:04
Speaker 1: down this stretch, but we know we're chasing Tennessee and
11:07
Speaker 1: and really the coulture in front of us two by
11:09
Speaker 1: half a game, and um, I just don't think it's
11:13
Speaker 1: too soon. You know, I want the guys to understand that.
11:16
Speaker 1: You know, I'm I'm hopeful and optimistic that this comes
11:19
Speaker 1: down to week eighteen and and we got a chance
11:21
Speaker 1: for the division then. But you know, we gotta take
11:23
Speaker 1: care of business each week. We know that it's a
11:25
Speaker 1: it's a one game mentality at a time, but um,
11:29
Speaker 1: you know, I want to make I want to make
11:31
Speaker 1: sure the guys understand just just where we are. Coach,
11:34
Speaker 1: thanks for the time. Is always good luck in Detroit.
11:36
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. That's head coach Doug Peterson. Back
11:38
Speaker 1: with more on The Doug Peterson Show after this on
11:41
Speaker 1: the Jaguarriors Radio Network. We're back. It is the Doug
11:46
Speaker 1: Peterson Show. J P. Shadrick with Jeff logging in. Our
11:49
Speaker 1: thanks to head coach Doug Peterson of course for joining
11:52
Speaker 1: us on the program. Of course each and every Thursday,
11:56
Speaker 1: well the Thursdays, we have a program. It's been a
11:59
Speaker 1: few weeks, but hey, we're glad to be back. The
12:02
Speaker 1: Jaguars have the Lions this week in Detroit at Ford
12:06
Speaker 1: Field and uh Hey, what you First? Of all, um,
12:10
Speaker 1: I asked coach right after he walked out, Um, what
12:13
Speaker 1: is a shin route? You didn't ask him? You were
12:17
Speaker 1: you're kind of joking with him, but you said you'll
12:19
Speaker 1: last later. Well, I was actually pretty curious. And it's
12:23
Speaker 1: a short end route. So what would be a shout
12:28
Speaker 1: route by I'm you know, I'm not a detective, but
12:33
Speaker 1: I think it's a short out. Maybe you have to
12:37
Speaker 1: put your hands up while you do it. Maybe I
12:39
Speaker 1: have no idea. It's it's it's funny though, that, uh
12:43
Speaker 1: football terminology is pretty simple. It really is. When you
12:47
Speaker 1: think about it. For example, defensively, let's say you're you're
12:52
Speaker 1: gonna have a blitz and it and it's gonna use
12:54
Speaker 1: the will in the sam. It'll be some form of
12:59
Speaker 1: let's say saw dog O case s W sam will
13:05
Speaker 1: dog blits. Okay. If it's the mike and the will,
13:11
Speaker 1: it might be uh a wham dog Okay, all right,
13:16
Speaker 1: I mean it's okay. And when quarterbacks come to the
13:20
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, you'll see them go chack chack check
13:27
Speaker 1: red eighty two, red eighty two. Okay. If you're a
13:31
Speaker 1: defensive lineman, what are you thinking about with red, well
13:35
Speaker 1: not the color probably, or you're thinking snap count red, white, blue,
13:41
Speaker 1: one to three, oh in order, okay. Early in a ballgame,
13:45
Speaker 1: quarterbacks says chack check check, check to one to one,
13:51
Speaker 1: and the ball snapped okay and it was on one. Okay.
13:56
Speaker 1: So you now know that for the rest of the
13:58
Speaker 1: game that the snap count is going to be the
14:00
Speaker 1: last number of what he says. So if he goes
14:04
Speaker 1: on two, gon be on two because it's the last number.
14:10
Speaker 1: If he goes one, one beyond one, what if he
14:15
Speaker 1: switches to two numbers? Could But here's the problem with that. JP.
14:20
Speaker 1: Once it's set okay, starts everywhere. You've got ten other
14:24
Speaker 1: guys in the huddle that when you let them know
14:27
Speaker 1: that it's changed, are they all gonna remember? So the
14:31
Speaker 1: chances of actually changing in game are slimming on and
14:34
Speaker 1: slims on the outskirts of town. Interesting. What else? Yeah,
14:39
Speaker 1: I found it interesting that yes, Doug does bring up
14:43
Speaker 1: the division and the race and six games to go
14:46
Speaker 1: and they talk about it. Yeah, gets out there, Well
14:49
Speaker 1: you can, you can talk about it. And because I
14:51
Speaker 1: think that that gives you the gem that you're you're
14:55
Speaker 1: after and it's and even if you don't talk about
14:58
Speaker 1: the players are talking about it. But I think if
15:02
Speaker 1: you put it as a coach, you talk about it,
15:05
Speaker 1: but then you also talk about look, so what now?
15:09
Speaker 1: What if we don't take care of our business this week,
15:11
Speaker 1: then all this conversation is probably going to be out
15:13
Speaker 1: the window. So I think it's good that you talk
15:16
Speaker 1: about it, and then you you put it in context
15:19
Speaker 1: of what has to be able to take place for
15:22
Speaker 1: us to to continue to have this conversation. So so
15:26
Speaker 1: I think, look, I got I got a great amount
15:29
Speaker 1: of respect for Doug and his abilities as a coach.
15:33
Speaker 1: He's been to the ultimate playground in one and so
15:37
Speaker 1: I think he's got a great mind, and I think
15:39
Speaker 1: he does a real lot of really good things. And
15:42
Speaker 1: I think the other thing that impressed me because when
15:43
Speaker 1: I were talking about the quarterbacks and that you know,
15:47
Speaker 1: you do some quarterbacks have to continue to make make
15:49
Speaker 1: mistakes to learn, and he said, yeah, sometimes that is
15:53
Speaker 1: the case. But then he also talked about it from
15:56
Speaker 1: a coaching standpoint and that you can be redundant. I
16:00
Speaker 1: would have a really hard time being redundant without losing patience.
16:06
Speaker 1: And I think it takes a special person to be
16:08
Speaker 1: able to have the patience to teach, to continue to
16:14
Speaker 1: teach when you're frustrated as a teacher or as a
16:18
Speaker 1: coach because the mistakes have been made again. I can
16:22
Speaker 1: only imagine how this scenario went with the goal to
16:25
Speaker 1: go interceptions, that's what you're kind of talking about. I
16:29
Speaker 1: think that's probably one of them. I might have lost
16:31
Speaker 1: my mind. Can you imagine? The second one is like, really, Trevor, Trevor,
16:38
Speaker 1: we talked about this and you know what, Hey, now
16:42
Speaker 1: it's starting to he's throwing it away when it's not there,
16:44
Speaker 1: and hey, but it takes patience. But I mean, that's
16:48
Speaker 1: a lot of times you're always looking for different ways
16:53
Speaker 1: to address it, and sometimes the frustration will creep in
16:59
Speaker 1: if you're a coach, because as as a coach, you
17:01
Speaker 1: know what the right decision is, you've been teaching it.
17:04
Speaker 1: But sometimes you gotta have It's just like being a parent.
17:07
Speaker 1: Sometimes sometimes you got to have the patients to be
17:10
Speaker 1: able to continue to stress what the important decision is
17:15
Speaker 1: or what the right decision is, even though there's been
17:19
Speaker 1: a couple of bad decisions being made, and that's not
17:23
Speaker 1: easy j P. Sometimes we've got plenty ahead. We'll come
17:28
Speaker 1: back in a moment. A little more on the quarterback
17:31
Speaker 1: and his play over the last months. It's been fantastic
17:34
Speaker 1: in the month of November. Well now it's December. He's
17:38
Speaker 1: got to carry it over down the street here. And
17:40
Speaker 1: one of the big question marks I think going forward
17:42
Speaker 1: right now is Travis c e tns foot. We'll talk
17:47
Speaker 1: about that. That's I mean, that is a really big
17:50
Speaker 1: question mark with this football team because if you look
17:54
Speaker 1: at Trevor's performance up until this past game, the game's prior,
17:59
Speaker 1: he has had great performances by his running back. Is
18:03
Speaker 1: he gonna have that going forward? We'll find out in
18:06
Speaker 1: just a moment. It's time to deck the halls due
18:08
Speaker 1: I'll join us Sunday, December eighteenth. This is Trevor Lawrence
18:11
Speaker 1: leads the charge against Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys.

18:33
Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now. Welcome back,
18:39
Speaker 1: It is the Doug Peterson Show, j P. Shadrick with
18:42
Speaker 1: Jeff Lockerman Our thanks to head coach Doug Peterson joining
18:45
Speaker 1: us to the opening segment every week on Thursday on
18:47
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Radio Network. Joe Fortunato on the audio, Brent
18:51
Speaker 1: Reaver on the video side, and yes, logs, we will
18:55
Speaker 1: get to the running back coming up in just a
18:56
Speaker 1: little bit. Travis e t end but it is a
19:00
Speaker 1: quarterback's best friend, and it is up to wherever Lawrence
19:05
Speaker 1: who's now turned the corner. It feels like three games,
19:09
Speaker 1: thank you, three games in a row, over a hundred
19:12
Speaker 1: rating and last time out his best career rating. He
19:16
Speaker 1: was great in the fourth quarter obviously that final drive
19:19
Speaker 1: with seven of nine making big time throws in key moments,
19:23
Speaker 1: and um, has he turned the corner in your opinion? Well, look,
19:30
Speaker 1: as as soon as you feel like somebody's turned the corner,
19:32
Speaker 1: you can all of a sudden turn the corner and
19:34
Speaker 1: go the wrong way. But but I really feel like
19:38
Speaker 1: that his performance this past game was just outstanding. I mean,
19:42
Speaker 1: that's when you have a franchise quarterback. You want to
19:45
Speaker 1: be able to have a franchise quarterback put a football
19:47
Speaker 1: team on his shoulders and lead them to victory with
19:50
Speaker 1: a with a game winning drive at the end of
19:52
Speaker 1: the game. And how many game winning drives has he
19:56
Speaker 1: had in his career that one exact, Clee. And it's
20:01
Speaker 1: taken quite some time to get to this point. But
20:05
Speaker 1: now that we've seen it, now you go, Okay, we
20:10
Speaker 1: know he's capable, we know he can do it. We
20:12
Speaker 1: know that he can protect the football, and like Doug
20:17
Speaker 1: talked about, that Denver game in London probably was a
20:23
Speaker 1: key moment. And sometimes it takes, you know, the the
20:29
Speaker 1: hit up against the side of the head sometimes to
20:31
Speaker 1: be able to wake you loose and and wake you
20:34
Speaker 1: up sometimes. And I'm not saying that you know he
20:36
Speaker 1: needed that, but it's sometimes you got to have big
20:40
Speaker 1: bumps in the road to have growth. And that performance
20:44
Speaker 1: in London was a really big bump. I mean, that
20:48
Speaker 1: was not a good performance at all by trumpor In fact,
20:51
Speaker 1: you remember me coming in here that following week saying
20:54
Speaker 1: this game here, which was the ensuing week against the Raiders,
20:59
Speaker 1: this game is as important as any game that Trevor
21:02
Speaker 1: Lawrence has ever played because he has to be able
21:06
Speaker 1: to bounce back and then when the Raiders game started,
21:08
Speaker 1: we were like, oh no, this is not going how
21:12
Speaker 1: we wanted to see it go. But then he climbed
21:15
Speaker 1: back out of it, climbed back out of it, and
21:18
Speaker 1: Travis et In was a big part of that. Trevor
21:20
Speaker 1: played well, protected the ball and he was able to
21:24
Speaker 1: make a really strong performance out of that game. It
21:27
Speaker 1: wasn't all him, and this pass game wasn't all him
21:30
Speaker 1: because of the defense kind of kept him in place
21:32
Speaker 1: early in the ball game by being good in the
21:35
Speaker 1: red zone. Defense made some plays to be able to
21:37
Speaker 1: get the ball back to be able to get the
21:39
Speaker 1: go ahead score with the winger cause fumble. So I
21:41
Speaker 1: mean there was and there was a moment where the
21:44
Speaker 1: defense let it down in the second half, but but yeah,
21:47
Speaker 1: I mean it was encouraging. And consistency is everything about
21:51
Speaker 1: being a franchise quarterback though JP and and the consistency's
21:55
Speaker 1: got to be there. I'm not saying that he's got
21:57
Speaker 1: a throw for thirty yards and three touched ounds every
22:00
Speaker 1: week to be consistent. That's not not what I'm saying.
22:03
Speaker 1: But you've got to have good, solid performances and then
22:06
Speaker 1: on occasion you gotta have a performance like you just
22:09
Speaker 1: had to be able to lead your team to victory
22:11
Speaker 1: performance like that without your starting running back on the
22:15
Speaker 1: field a lot of the day. Jamichael Hasy wasn't you know,
22:19
Speaker 1: it wasn't too bad. And his brother Jamal wasn't bad either. Well,
22:22
Speaker 1: they've stood in and both played well. Um, but the
22:26
Speaker 1: starter I'm talking abou Travis, I'm talking. What I mean
22:31
Speaker 1: by that is that when you have somebody that gets
22:34
Speaker 1: hurt like E. T n did in that game, Okay,
22:37
Speaker 1: others need to step up. The performances of Jamal Agnew
22:41
Speaker 1: and Jamachael Hasty in that game and then the outstanding
22:45
Speaker 1: performance by Za Jones allowed that offense to just keep
22:49
Speaker 1: rolling and it was impressive. It was impressive, and a
22:53
Speaker 1: lot of the quick passing game ended up being kind
22:55
Speaker 1: of the the replacement running game because Baltimore is tough
22:59
Speaker 1: up front. Now they are, I mean they're tough. I
23:02
Speaker 1: mean give him credit. Now that Baltimore defense came to play.
23:05
Speaker 1: Clay's play really well off year. I had a conversation
23:10
Speaker 1: with him. I didn't get down there to see him, unfortunately,
23:13
Speaker 1: and uh, I said this, you know, you know, just
23:15
Speaker 1: catching up a little bit. And I was like, you know,
23:17
Speaker 1: I said, look, man, you're still playing well, and he goes,
23:20
Speaker 1: you know what, I feel great? He goes. I kind
23:22
Speaker 1: of was thinking this was gonna be my last year.
23:25
Speaker 1: He goes, but I'm feeling so good. I don't know
23:27
Speaker 1: if it will be Wow. So next year, if he
23:31
Speaker 1: does play, next year, he would be thirty seven years old,
23:35
Speaker 1: but he still playing me. He took Fortner to school
23:37
Speaker 1: a little bit. Luke Fortner had a hard time with Calais, which,
23:41
Speaker 1: you know, look everybody whatever and nothing, nothing to be
23:47
Speaker 1: ashamed of. But he's a good football player and and
23:51
Speaker 1: it was great to see him. He's uh. I thought
23:54
Speaker 1: it was pretty cool to the they put him up
23:56
Speaker 1: on the board and he was waving to the fans
24:00
Speaker 1: in the stadium. That was that was pretty cool moment.
24:02
Speaker 1: Let's come back. Jaguars defense had some changes last week.
24:07
Speaker 1: How much of that carries over to whatever the opponent
24:10
Speaker 1: is week to week we'll find out. It's the Doug
24:13
Speaker 1: Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome Back. The
24:19
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show continues right now. Welcome Back Week thirteen.
24:25
Speaker 1: Jaguars Lions, Ford Field, Detroit. The site one o'clock eastern
24:29
Speaker 1: kickoff time. We'll be on the Network Sunday at noon
24:33
Speaker 1: with countdown to Kickoff. That's where we imagine this count
24:38
Speaker 1: down to kickoff ahead of the Jags Lions matchup an
24:42
Speaker 1: hour ahead of the kickoff time every week here on
24:45
Speaker 1: the network. Glad you're with us, j P Shadrick, Jeff Lockerman,
24:48
Speaker 1: our Jaguars head coach Doug Peterson joining us in the
24:51
Speaker 1: opening segment every week. Jaguars Defense. Now you mentioned it
24:55
Speaker 1: just a little bit ago, some good, really good earlier
24:58
Speaker 1: in the game to get out of those red zone
25:00
Speaker 1: situations with only field goals. Game could have got away
25:02
Speaker 1: from this Jags team, but it didn't. They stood up
25:05
Speaker 1: in key moments early. There was a couple of plays
25:08
Speaker 1: late that got away from them. Obviously the long throw
25:11
Speaker 1: the Sean Jackson set up to go ahead touchdown for
25:14
Speaker 1: the Ravens in the fourth quarter, that's one big one
25:17
Speaker 1: that kind of stands out. So a little bit of
25:19
Speaker 1: a mixed bag on defense last week, but there were
25:21
Speaker 1: a lot of new different looks because of the personnel
25:25
Speaker 1: that Bolltimore had to offer on the offensive side, and
25:29
Speaker 1: Baltimore runs a ton of tight ends, and then they
25:31
Speaker 1: got a fullback Patrick Rickard who's kind of a little
25:34
Speaker 1: bit of everything. You know, he's a tight end, fullback,
25:37
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, and so that's kind of one of the
25:40
Speaker 1: reasons why that you had some of this new personnel
25:43
Speaker 1: packages as a defense and Uh, the defensively first of all,
25:49
Speaker 1: a couple of guys that I thought really stood up
25:50
Speaker 1: for you, obviously Luke and had a tremendous game eighteen
25:53
Speaker 1: tackles career high. And I mean, I don't want I'm
25:57
Speaker 1: not saying this to criticize Devin Lloyd, but when you
26:00
Speaker 1: can worry about your own responsibility, sometimes it allows you
26:03
Speaker 1: to be free and allows you to play. And I
26:05
Speaker 1: think there was at times that Foya was trying to
26:08
Speaker 1: get Devon line lined up in previous games, and sometimes
26:12
Speaker 1: that can distract you and take away from what you're
26:14
Speaker 1: responsible for. And as a as a middle linebacker, sometimes
26:18
Speaker 1: you have to be able to do some of that,
26:20
Speaker 1: but you just don't want to have to do more
26:22
Speaker 1: than usually is what is required. So credit to him.
26:25
Speaker 1: I thought he played really well. He made some some
26:27
Speaker 1: fantastic plays that wingered. Uh possibly earned a role going
26:31
Speaker 1: forward in some capacity because of their issues at corner
26:35
Speaker 1: and also because of his performance. I think that's kind
26:37
Speaker 1: of twofold. I thought Josh Allen had a real nice
26:41
Speaker 1: game because I thought the previous three or four weeks
26:46
Speaker 1: he was not playing very well. This past game, I
26:49
Speaker 1: thought he played well, I mean really well and was
26:53
Speaker 1: disrupting the pocket, had Lamar Jackson on the run a
26:56
Speaker 1: couple of different times, was active against the run. That
27:00
Speaker 1: was impressive. I thought that Trayvon Walker had maybe his
27:06
Speaker 1: worst game yet, how just just not. I mean, he
27:09
Speaker 1: had to hold call, which was good. That uh, that
27:14
Speaker 1: definitely helped. But I mean other than that, his impact
27:17
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't didn't feel much impact from him.
27:21
Speaker 1: The pass rush stuff still a little bit indecisive, which
27:25
Speaker 1: is that's gotta get that's gotta get cleaned up. And
27:28
Speaker 1: then usually when if he's not much of a factor
27:32
Speaker 1: as a pass rusher, he impacts the game in a
27:35
Speaker 1: real positive way and run defense because he is strong,
27:38
Speaker 1: he closes fast, he's you know, he can wreck a
27:42
Speaker 1: lot of plays and didn't have a lot of that
27:45
Speaker 1: this game. And I think it's a challenging game to
27:49
Speaker 1: face the Ravens. And I'm not trying to make an
27:51
Speaker 1: excuse for him, just trying to maybe explain maybe what
27:53
Speaker 1: happens when you face the Ravens. You have read options,
27:59
Speaker 1: you have run, pass options, you have Lamar Jackson. And
28:04
Speaker 1: that can make people very noncommittal or indecisive because you're
28:08
Speaker 1: hesitant because you don't want him to all of a
28:10
Speaker 1: sudden split the defense or is it a run or
28:13
Speaker 1: is it a pass? He's gonna keep it? Is he
28:14
Speaker 1: gonna hand off? Is he gonna split the pass rush
28:18
Speaker 1: and run downhill? Do I need to make sure I
28:21
Speaker 1: sent a Russia guy to be able to come off
28:22
Speaker 1: either way? I mean, there's so much to be aware of,
28:25
Speaker 1: and that's what makes Lamar Jackson so dynamic and challenging
28:29
Speaker 1: to face sometimes. And then also because of the the
28:32
Speaker 1: style of offense that they play with the multiple tight
28:35
Speaker 1: ends and and things of that nature, and the tight
28:38
Speaker 1: ends that can catch the ball. So maybe that was
28:42
Speaker 1: part of it. But but he needs to get back
28:45
Speaker 1: to be in better than that, because I think he's
28:48
Speaker 1: capable truly better than that. And and and again I
28:50
Speaker 1: want to say this, Ray Sean Jakins and Cisco I
28:55
Speaker 1: think are playing hard and playing pretty good. I'm not
28:58
Speaker 1: saying that they're perfect because Cisco, oh can't get caught
29:01
Speaker 1: up when You've got that to Sean Jackson deep route
29:04
Speaker 1: late in the game, even though that was a little
29:06
Speaker 1: bit on pass rush. But I thought Cisco. I thought
29:10
Speaker 1: Cisco has definitely improved his game because he's been more physical.
29:16
Speaker 1: Mike calledwell weeks ago challenged him to play faster, and
29:20
Speaker 1: he is. He's playing much faster. Ray Sewn Jenkins continues
29:24
Speaker 1: to be physical and I love the way he plays
29:28
Speaker 1: the game. So there's a lot of really good things,
29:31
Speaker 1: but there's also some components you got to see to
29:34
Speaker 1: get a little bit better, and then some of the
29:36
Speaker 1: components the reality is you're not going to be able
29:40
Speaker 1: to address until you get to the off season, whether
29:43
Speaker 1: you address that in free agency, which may be limited
29:46
Speaker 1: because of the resources, or in the draft, which is
29:49
Speaker 1: more than likely where you're gonna have to address a
29:52
Speaker 1: lot of these these issues. When we return, we'll get
29:56
Speaker 1: into the Detroit Lions and what they have to offer.
30:00
Speaker 1: This Sunday for the Jaguars, It's The Doug Peterson Show
30:02
Speaker 1: on Jaguars Radio. Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues
30:11
Speaker 1: right now, Welcome back JP Shatterick with Jeff Flagger. When
30:14
Speaker 1: The Doug Peterson Show continues Jack's head coach with us
30:17
Speaker 1: in the first segment each and every Thursday here on
30:20
Speaker 1: the Network. This Sunday at one o'clock, the Jaguars space
30:23
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions battle of four and seven teams at
30:26
Speaker 1: board Field in downtown Detroit. Team's kind of similar, kind
30:31
Speaker 1: of looking in the mirror a little bit here. The Lions,
30:33
Speaker 1: playing better lately, won three straight before a loss on
30:35
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving to the Bills. They had them all the ropes.
30:38
Speaker 1: The Jaguars have now won two out of the last
30:40
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks playing well for both sides. The Lions, boy,
30:45
Speaker 1: they've got that run game going. It's their best rushing
30:48
Speaker 1: attack through eleven games since that's when Barry Sanders was
30:53
Speaker 1: still on the team. In the Detroit Um. This is
30:56
Speaker 1: not that, of course, but they do have some uh
31:01
Speaker 1: pretty powerful running game. This is this is no easy
31:04
Speaker 1: task this week to defend this group. It's a two
31:07
Speaker 1: headed backfield, a good offensive line well, and they do
31:10
Speaker 1: it from what is called eleven personnel. Just give people
31:14
Speaker 1: an idea when when you talk about personnel, when different
31:19
Speaker 1: places call it different things. Some have it a like
31:22
Speaker 1: a like a card terminology like kings or queens or whatever.
31:26
Speaker 1: But a lot of people use a numbering system, and
31:29
Speaker 1: so you'll have one personnel, so one personnel, twelve personnel,
31:35
Speaker 1: and eleven personnel for example, eleven personnel, you got one
31:38
Speaker 1: tight end, one running back, and then the one that
31:41
Speaker 1: you never actually say is the number of wide receivers
31:44
Speaker 1: that's left. So twelve personnel, one running back, two tight ends,
31:49
Speaker 1: and obviously two receivers that are left. And Detroit runs
31:53
Speaker 1: a lot of three wide receiver sets with one tight
31:56
Speaker 1: end and one running back. And their offensive line is
31:59
Speaker 1: really good, and that makes it challenging because when they
32:03
Speaker 1: are in that three wide receiver set, you naturally kind
32:07
Speaker 1: of spread the defense out a little bit. And that's
32:09
Speaker 1: it's really become more of a of a nickel slash
32:13
Speaker 1: three wide receiver league anyway. But that's what Detroit loves.
32:18
Speaker 1: So big challenge this week. And you've got two backs
32:22
Speaker 1: that are good and and I will tell you that
32:24
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift is a guy that can scare you from
32:27
Speaker 1: the standpoint of he when he gets in space. He's
32:31
Speaker 1: a great receiver. He would in fact, you know from
32:34
Speaker 1: talking to Doug, you know the running backs, well, he
32:37
Speaker 1: would be a good fit in an offense like this
32:39
Speaker 1: because he's such a capable back out of the backfield.
32:42
Speaker 1: So he will challenge some of the Jaguars wide receivers
32:44
Speaker 1: this week on some some patterns and in the passing game.
32:49
Speaker 1: But most importantly, that Detroit lines offensive line is going
32:53
Speaker 1: to challenge the Jaguars upfront. Jamal Williams leads the league
32:57
Speaker 1: in rushing touchdowns this year, thirteen of those. He's he's
33:01
Speaker 1: in the seven hundreds with his yardage this year, but
33:04
Speaker 1: he has a nose for the end zone. He does.
33:07
Speaker 1: And and Ben Johnson, the offensive coordinator who is kind
33:11
Speaker 1: of a rising star in the league and a lot
33:14
Speaker 1: of people are talking about him, is maybe the next
33:17
Speaker 1: offensive you know, young head coach. You know, it kind
33:20
Speaker 1: of comes from the Sean McVeigh tree a little bit,
33:22
Speaker 1: I believe. But he's been very successful. And when you
33:25
Speaker 1: have a running back like Jamal Williams, it helps. And
33:30
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson is uh has taken a franchise that has
33:34
Speaker 1: not been very good and he's led them to build
33:36
Speaker 1: a top ten offense. And if you look at the
33:39
Speaker 1: at the Lions JP, do you see top ten personnel
33:44
Speaker 1: on offense? No, I think offensive line, I would say yes, Yeah,
33:51
Speaker 1: the skill guys and that's one of the reasons why
33:53
Speaker 1: they took a flyer on Jamison Williams in the first round,
33:56
Speaker 1: who was towards a c L in the and one
33:58
Speaker 1: of the playoff games last year with Alabama National Title game.
34:02
Speaker 1: And he just started practicing I think yesterday last week
34:06
Speaker 1: he did some walk through stuff. This week, he's starting
34:08
Speaker 1: to do some practice stuff. I don't think it's likely
34:11
Speaker 1: that he's gonna play this week. But um, but the
34:15
Speaker 1: point of that being is that they knew how they
34:18
Speaker 1: knew how needy they were at the skill position, and
34:22
Speaker 1: they I don't want to say reach, but they took
34:25
Speaker 1: a chance on a guy. I mean, JP, you know,
34:27
Speaker 1: but you probably tell most people about Jameson Williams. I mean,
34:30
Speaker 1: was is he one of the best wide receivers that's
34:32
Speaker 1: come out of Alabama recently? Oh? Yeah, I mean they've
34:34
Speaker 1: had a they've rolled through pun intended a few different
34:38
Speaker 1: waves of wide receivers and that at that school over
34:41
Speaker 1: the last ten years really. But he came in as
34:44
Speaker 1: a transfer, so he transferred Ohio State. Couldn't get on
34:47
Speaker 1: the field at Ohio State because they had Garrett Wilson
34:49
Speaker 1: and Olave and they which a lot of guys like
34:52
Speaker 1: one of the best receivers in the league. Right, So
34:54
Speaker 1: he left went to Alabama and um yeah, I mean
34:58
Speaker 1: he had like cards just out of curiosity. Fast, super fast. Yeah,
35:03
Speaker 1: I mean that's really his calling card. That's speed, deep
35:06
Speaker 1: deep speed. But if you jp, because you know him
35:08
Speaker 1: so well, the Alabama wide receivers in the NFL, okay,
35:13
Speaker 1: and there's quite a few of them. Yeah. Have you seen,
35:15
Speaker 1: like every year there's a couple of first round picks
35:17
Speaker 1: start with Julio. I'm talking about the best in the
35:20
Speaker 1: league right now. Not Julio because he's the first wave
35:24
Speaker 1: of Alabama receivers, but i mean modern day Alabama receivers
35:29
Speaker 1: in the league right now, production right now, give me
35:32
Speaker 1: the top three? Um wattle, he's doing well? Is he
35:36
Speaker 1: number one? He's up there? Right, He's got to be
35:39
Speaker 1: uh Cooper, Mariy Cooper still Cooper. Okay, that's too he's Cleveland, right,
35:45
Speaker 1: I think he's there now? Yeah? Oh gosh, guy in
35:50
Speaker 1: uh Slim Slim Reaper. Yeah, yea, well what's his name? Yeah?
35:59
Speaker 1: That was that I can't remember. So there's there's a
36:03
Speaker 1: bunch which is it's unbelievable. They're everywhere here's a crazy thing.
36:08
Speaker 1: If if you want to hit on the draft, increase
36:11
Speaker 1: your percentages draft Alabama guys, I mean right, I mean
36:17
Speaker 1: there's a lot of backups that are getting drafted from
36:19
Speaker 1: alabamat Smith and maybe some of the n I L
36:23
Speaker 1: changes changes that possibly, I don't know. I doubt it.
36:27
Speaker 1: Not In Alabama they got money there too. They of
36:31
Speaker 1: a lot of Hey, let's come by the money. We
36:34
Speaker 1: gotta come back in just a moment and go to
36:36
Speaker 1: social media lot. It's your favorite. Yes, you're a social
36:39
Speaker 1: media maven. If we which social media are we going to?
36:43
Speaker 1: Which platform we're probably I think it's Twitter. I think
36:49
Speaker 1: because if we've learned anything on the Doug Peterson Show
36:51
Speaker 1: this year, it's that you're a social media maven. This
36:55
Speaker 1: is the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
37:05
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Doug Peterson Show, presented by the
37:07
Speaker 1: Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles JP Shadrick
37:11
Speaker 1: with Jeff Lockman and Jeff it's your favorite moment of
37:15
Speaker 1: every show. I think you know what it is, um
37:22
Speaker 1: social media tasks. It is time to go to the
37:25
Speaker 1: Microsoft surface and go to social media. What are they
37:29
Speaker 1: asking you on Twitter today? This is at Jags Fan
37:32
Speaker 1: five eight. Agnew brings good speed to the offense when
37:35
Speaker 1: in the game. Do you expect to have him play more?
37:38
Speaker 1: Especially him returning to face his old team, the Lions.
37:42
Speaker 1: By the way, he's not the only Lion former Lion
37:44
Speaker 1: going back. Marvin Jones Jr. Also played there. Correct well,
37:47
Speaker 1: Agnew was drafted by Detroit, whereas Marvin Jones Jr. Was
37:51
Speaker 1: not correct the does does his role increase just because
37:57
Speaker 1: he's facing his old team? Well, no, that doesn't. You
38:01
Speaker 1: don't play guys more just because they're facing their old team.
38:05
Speaker 1: I think Agnew, Jamal Agnew has a very defined role
38:08
Speaker 1: and it's it's not a primary role because the reality is, Okay,
38:12
Speaker 1: if Jamal Agnew is gonna get more reps, who's gonna
38:16
Speaker 1: get reps taken away from them? A you're gonna take
38:19
Speaker 1: it away from Christian Kirk. I don't think so. No, Oh,
38:24
Speaker 1: we're gonna take it away from z Jones. No, uh no,
38:29
Speaker 1: we're gonna take it away from Marvin Jones Jr. Depends
38:33
Speaker 1: on what you want. Do you want do you need
38:37
Speaker 1: a little more getting up? Maybe? Right? I mean, if
38:40
Speaker 1: that's maybe need a possession, let's catch this ball in
38:42
Speaker 1: fourth down. Guy. I think the unique thing about Jamal
38:45
Speaker 1: Agnew is that he also is kind of a quasi
38:49
Speaker 1: running back, So you can put him on the field.
38:54
Speaker 1: If something were to not go well with Travis Etienne
38:58
Speaker 1: this week, you put all Agnew on the field, and
39:02
Speaker 1: then he's the only quote unquote running back on the field.
39:06
Speaker 1: Does do the Detroit Lions try to match up with him,
39:10
Speaker 1: which they play a ton of man? Do they try
39:12
Speaker 1: to put the rookie linebacker that they have against him,
39:16
Speaker 1: and that's Malcolm Rodriguez. If that's the case, let's go, baby,
39:21
Speaker 1: that's a great matchup. That's one you can win, right
39:24
Speaker 1: Or if they put Anzeloni on them, Okay, let's go,
39:30
Speaker 1: let's take that every day of the week. But uh,
39:33
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think there's within reason. One thing is
39:38
Speaker 1: for certain, Agnew's first and primary responsibility is as a returner,
39:44
Speaker 1: and so you want to make sure that he is
39:47
Speaker 1: really good on that and that the tension doesn't kind
39:50
Speaker 1: of wane on that just because all of a sudden, Okay,
39:53
Speaker 1: now we're gonna maybe increase his stuff. But yeah, I mean,
39:55
Speaker 1: I think that's a great question. But it's not because
39:58
Speaker 1: you're facing the Lions. It would be more so because hey,
40:02
Speaker 1: look this pass game that we played Jamal at and
40:04
Speaker 1: we had five catches for thirty seven yards and a
40:07
Speaker 1: touchdown in which he was awesome, which, by the way,
40:09
Speaker 1: that play design on the touchdown was awesome. He split
40:13
Speaker 1: out wide right like a wide receiver, got a defensive
40:16
Speaker 1: back on him. He comes in motion towards the inside
40:20
Speaker 1: of the formation, and he's and he's really at a
40:23
Speaker 1: high level of speed running the motion because there's no
40:25
Speaker 1: rules about well, motions have to be jogging. There can
40:28
Speaker 1: be any speed you want. It can be jogging, can
40:30
Speaker 1: be fast. Well, he turns on the burners like he's
40:32
Speaker 1: gonna maybe go across the formation. And then since the
40:36
Speaker 1: Ravens weren't man, that guy's got to find a way
40:38
Speaker 1: to get across the formation to cover him, and that's
40:43
Speaker 1: a hard thing to do because of the traffic. Well,
40:46
Speaker 1: he gets that tempo up, the defensive back goes, oh crap,
40:52
Speaker 1: I've got to get across the formation with all this traffic,
40:55
Speaker 1: and so he turns on the jets a little bit,
40:58
Speaker 1: and as soon as he does, the ball snapped and
41:01
Speaker 1: Jamal agnew puts on the brakes, turns and goes right
41:04
Speaker 1: back where he came from, but across the line of
41:06
Speaker 1: scrimmage and a little quick speed out Trevor hits him
41:09
Speaker 1: perfectly and the defensive back couldn't recover. And great play
41:13
Speaker 1: design by Doug Peterson in this past game, and and
41:18
Speaker 1: Press Taylor and and Mike McCoy. It'should it's fun. I
41:23
Speaker 1: will tell you I've been doing this for quite some time.
41:26
Speaker 1: It's fun watching this offense and some of the play
41:28
Speaker 1: designs that they come up with. It's did they know?
41:33
Speaker 1: They know where to attack and how to attack, and
41:36
Speaker 1: it's fun to watch. And when you have a weapon
41:39
Speaker 1: like Agnew, you can stick in there in a certain
41:41
Speaker 1: situation and maybe have an advantage. That's what this offense
41:45
Speaker 1: is all about. And not just him, the other receivers too.
41:47
Speaker 1: Is they've obviously they found something was Za Jones against
41:50
Speaker 1: the Ravens last week, exploited it. And if something like
41:54
Speaker 1: I said, if something is wrong with E t n
41:56
Speaker 1: where you're not confident about him, you know, look you
42:00
Speaker 1: you can run some plays with Jamal Agnew running back.
42:03
Speaker 1: And the one thing that the coaches and I remember,
42:07
Speaker 1: Press Taylor talking about this earlier in the year because
42:09
Speaker 1: he was asked about Jamal Agnew and Press Taylor just
42:13
Speaker 1: literally started just gushing about how smart, how how he
42:19
Speaker 1: can be asked to do so many different roles and
42:23
Speaker 1: it's never an issue. Got great high football i Q,
42:26
Speaker 1: great football awareness, productivity and multiple positions. And that's man.
42:31
Speaker 1: It's the more guys that you have like that, the
42:34
Speaker 1: better off you're gonna be. When we return, our final
42:37
Speaker 1: thoughts ahead of Week thirteen, the Jacksonville Jaguars and the
42:40
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, a battle of four and seven teams. Coming up,
42:44
Speaker 1: It's the Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio. We're back.
42:55
Speaker 1: Maybe it's the Doug Peterson Show presented by the Florida
42:57
Speaker 1: Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicle Japey Shadrick with
43:01
Speaker 1: Jeff Flagman. Week thirteen, the Jaguars and the Lions, a
43:04
Speaker 1: battle at four and seven teams and hey, some former
43:09
Speaker 1: Lions on the Jaguars of course, a former Jaguar on
43:12
Speaker 1: the Lions and d J. Chark and of course Mark
43:15
Speaker 1: Brunel's the quarterback coach there. Todd wash Is on the
43:18
Speaker 1: coaching staff there. Jaguars defensive coordinator act and then of
43:22
Speaker 1: course we mentioned Jamal Agnew, former Lion draft pick, is
43:25
Speaker 1: a defensive player, and then transitioned over. But Marvin Jones Jr.
43:30
Speaker 1: Was a free agent edition for the Lions or in
43:33
Speaker 1: just years ago. But now he's going back. A quick
43:35
Speaker 1: comment about him because we were talking about how do
43:37
Speaker 1: you who do you take reps away from? If Jamal
43:40
Speaker 1: ag knew or to get more reps and it was
43:42
Speaker 1: based on one of the social media questions that we got.
43:46
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing that I just want to make
43:48
Speaker 1: mention of. In that ball game against the Ravens, there
43:52
Speaker 1: were a couple of critical moments that the ball goes
43:55
Speaker 1: to Marvin Jones Jr. And so we you know, an
43:59
Speaker 1: I say, okay, we're gonna maybe take Marvin Jones Junior
44:02
Speaker 1: off the field for reps from Jamal Agnew. Well wait
44:05
Speaker 1: a minute, fourth and five, Big, that ball goes to
44:08
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones Junior. Because Trevor trust him, and he he
44:12
Speaker 1: proves why he's trusted. He called a great ball that
44:15
Speaker 1: was contested on fourth and five and then the touchdown
44:19
Speaker 1: throws it to him at the critical moment. I mean,
44:21
Speaker 1: those things are important. All Access TV tonight. Who you
44:23
Speaker 1: got Trevor Lawrence. Oh my gosh, Trevor Lawrence quarterback big time.
44:29
Speaker 1: Looking forward to it. String Sports Brewery in Springfield. They
44:34
Speaker 1: might already be crowded. Yeah, parking might be an issue
44:37
Speaker 1: for me. They don't save me a parking spot like

Speaker 1: they will for Trevor. That's Jeff Logoman. I'm JP Shadrick.
