Speaker 2: studio with us. Finally it's here Week one Jaguars Colts
0:38
Speaker 2: this Sunday, and you can just kind of feel it
0:40
Speaker 2: in the.
0:40
Speaker 3: Building this week, you really can, you know, the excitement
0:43
Speaker 3: of Week one obviously around the National Football League and
0:46
Speaker 3: of course with us having this new building and breaking
0:49
Speaker 3: it in like we did during training camp, and you know,
0:51
Speaker 3: and then nothing better too than going on the road
0:54
Speaker 3: and you got a division opponent to start right, an
0:56
Speaker 3: AFC South opponent, so a lot of things, you know,
1:00
Speaker 3: to be excited about.
1:01
Speaker 2: How unnerving is the first game for a coach because
1:04
Speaker 2: there's so many unknowns, I mean, especially with the Colts,
1:06
Speaker 2: I mean, new staff, a lot of new players and
1:09
Speaker 2: a new quarterback.
1:10
Speaker 3: It's the reason I play the starters in training camp
1:13
Speaker 3: quite frankly, so that we are prepared for week one.
1:16
Speaker 3: And you know, but there's still there's still always going
1:19
Speaker 3: to be some unknowns, right as you mentioned, new head coach,
1:22
Speaker 3: new first year, young rookie, talented quarterback, big athletics, strong,
1:26
Speaker 3: can throw it about ninety yards. You know, you can't
1:29
Speaker 3: go to sleep on this kid, and and and so
1:31
Speaker 3: you just you just have a little uncertainty there as
1:33
Speaker 3: to how they're gonna come out and play. You uh
1:36
Speaker 3: but but you know, you just prepare, You stay in
1:38
Speaker 3: the moment, You stay focused on our jobs and what
1:41
Speaker 3: we're supposed to do this week, and you know, go
1:44
Speaker 3: play and compete.
1:46
Speaker 2: Log I know you can speak to this as well.
1:48
Speaker 2: But coach, the challenge of defending Richardson just his skill
1:52
Speaker 2: at Florida, what you saw on tape there, what they
1:55
Speaker 2: might use him with in Indianapolis. You know, how do
1:59
Speaker 2: you teach that, How you defend an RPO's running style quarterback.
2:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a challenge.
2:04
Speaker 3: I mean, you think of some of the bigger quarterbacks
2:07
Speaker 3: that we've faced over the year. You think of you know,
2:08
Speaker 3: a Cam Newton, right, you put him in that Cam Newton,
2:12
Speaker 3: you know, big, strong, athletic, physical quarterback. And you can
2:15
Speaker 3: also take it take a look at some of the
2:17
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones stuff that they did in New York with
2:19
Speaker 3: him with the same type of offensive line and coordinator.
2:22
Speaker 4: That are there in Indianapolis.
2:23
Speaker 3: And then of course what coach Stikeen did in Philly,
2:26
Speaker 3: you know with Jalen Hurts, another not a big guy,
2:29
Speaker 3: but a strong.
2:30
Speaker 4: Quarterback who could run and very athletics.
2:32
Speaker 3: See, there's a lot of tape to go through, but
2:34
Speaker 3: go back and watch the Florida stuff. I mean, his
2:36
Speaker 3: kid is big and he's powerful. We mentioned he's hard
2:39
Speaker 3: to bring down. Look at some of these preseason games.
2:41
Speaker 3: He's tough to arm tackle. You need to gang tackle him,
2:44
Speaker 3: you need to wrap him up and get him on
2:46
Speaker 3: the ground.
2:46
Speaker 2: Guys are falling off of them literally in the preseason.
2:49
Speaker 2: And I don't know, I mean, like you mentioned Cam Newton,
2:52
Speaker 2: I mean that that might be the only quarterback in
2:55
Speaker 2: the history of the league to where you had to
2:56
Speaker 2: have a defensive tackling plan for the quarterback. But Anthony
3:00
Speaker 2: Richardson I think probably takes it to another level. Strength
3:03
Speaker 2: wise than even Cam.
3:05
Speaker 4: He does. He does.
3:06
Speaker 3: And you know, you say you throw in a Michael Vick, right,
3:08
Speaker 3: Michael Vick's way different. You know, he's quick and twitchy
3:11
Speaker 3: and fast. These guys are big, strong and powerful, and
3:13
Speaker 3: they got great lower bodies. And that's why you have
3:16
Speaker 3: to wrap up. You have to spend time tackling in
3:19
Speaker 3: practice and doing drill work in practice this week to
3:23
Speaker 3: emphasize that. And when you get the opportunity to make
3:26
Speaker 3: the play, you just make the play and get him
3:28
Speaker 3: on the ground.
3:28
Speaker 2: You mentioned earlier about watching what he did in college,
3:31
Speaker 2: You watch what they did in Philadelphia, and you watch
3:34
Speaker 2: what you can in the preseason. I'm sure it's gonna
3:36
Speaker 2: be a little stressful to figure out what they're going
3:39
Speaker 2: to do offensively. But the one thing that is for
3:41
Speaker 2: certain you're going to see that RPO kind of offense.
3:44
Speaker 2: Is that one of the most challenging offenses that linebackers
3:48
Speaker 2: face on a day in day out basis. I mean,
3:51
Speaker 2: I never had to face that when I was playing linebacker.
3:53
Speaker 2: But I can't imagine is it a run. Is a
3:55
Speaker 2: quarterback going to keep it or is he gonna pull
3:57
Speaker 2: it back out and throw the.
3:58
Speaker 3: Football right challenge. You know, it takes a lot of discipline,
4:03
Speaker 3: a lot of eye discipline. You know our R O
4:06
Speaker 3: R P O game. When we do it with Trevor
4:08
Speaker 3: and our guys, I mean, the defense can't be right.
4:11
Speaker 3: You know, the linebacker is going to try to make
4:12
Speaker 3: a play. Well, then he's out of his gap and
4:15
Speaker 3: we throw it in behind him where he wants to
4:17
Speaker 3: stay in his gap.
4:18
Speaker 4: Well, now they're one man.
4:19
Speaker 3: Removed on defense, so it opens up a running lane
4:22
Speaker 3: and you kind of block him without blocking him, you know,
4:25
Speaker 3: so to speak. And so it's a it's a challenge
4:27
Speaker 3: for your linebackers.
4:28
Speaker 4: It's a challenge.
4:28
Speaker 3: And they got to stay completely disciplined, and then once
4:31
Speaker 3: they they key, once they diagnose, they have to run
4:34
Speaker 3: and react, and then they got to be good tacklers,
4:36
Speaker 3: you know, and to get the ball carrier on.
4:38
Speaker 4: The ground and or the quarterback.
4:39
Speaker 2: It's the Doug Peterson Show, the first one of the
4:41
Speaker 2: regular season. All right, let's turn it around. You mentioned
4:45
Speaker 2: the Jaguars offense and all the weaponry that's out there
4:49
Speaker 2: for you. I mean it's week one. It's like Christmas Day.
4:53
Speaker 2: What do you pick out from the tree?
4:54
Speaker 4: First?
4:55
Speaker 2: How do you how do you narrow it down for
4:58
Speaker 2: a game plan, and we.
5:00
Speaker 3: You know, the thing that I've been really impressed with
5:02
Speaker 3: our guys and there is talent on offense, is they're
5:05
Speaker 3: they're very unselfish, they're very team oriented players. It doesn't
5:10
Speaker 3: really matter who whoever's going to have the hot hand
5:12
Speaker 3: is going to have the hot hand. It could be
5:14
Speaker 3: Christian for six or seven catches, could be Evan, maybe
5:17
Speaker 3: it's Calvin, maybe it's a maybe it's Etn Jamal, whoever
5:20
Speaker 3: it is, and you continue to, you know, continue to
5:24
Speaker 3: feed that that hot hand. I think the one thing
5:27
Speaker 3: as coaches and play callers, you can't get caught up
5:29
Speaker 3: into saying, Okay, I've got to get all our guys
5:32
Speaker 3: this many targets, this many touches.
5:33
Speaker 4: That's not the way the game is played.
5:35
Speaker 3: And and we ask our quarterback to do the right
5:38
Speaker 3: thing with the football. So it's exciting to have weapons
5:41
Speaker 3: available to you, but it's also you got to stay
5:45
Speaker 3: within the game plan and the framework of team right
5:48
Speaker 3: to be able to get a get a win.
5:50
Speaker 4: And go on the road and do that.
5:51
Speaker 2: How excited are you for this offense to take the
5:55
Speaker 2: next step? And what I mean by that you have
5:56
Speaker 2: a quarterback now in your two of your system and
6:00
Speaker 2: your system last year, I'm sure you wanted to keep it.
6:02
Speaker 2: I don't want to say basic, but simplified. Because it's
6:05
Speaker 2: the first year of the system. How much more advanced
6:08
Speaker 2: can it be for you and Trevor in year two
6:12
Speaker 2: as far as giving him flexibility out the lot of scrimmage,
6:15
Speaker 2: it can be.
6:15
Speaker 3: It can be a little more flexible for him, you know.
6:18
Speaker 3: And that's the thing that you know, the key that
6:20
Speaker 3: that as coaches we gotta we got to keep in
6:22
Speaker 3: mind is, yes, these guys are in the second year
6:25
Speaker 3: with us, They're very.
6:25
Speaker 4: Familiar, you know, with the scheme and what we're doing.
6:28
Speaker 3: But we also don't want to bog our quarterback down
6:31
Speaker 3: mentally with too many checks and calls and different things
6:34
Speaker 3: and kills and alerts and all this stuff. But still
6:36
Speaker 3: give him the tools available to put us in the
6:39
Speaker 3: right play right, to get us out of a bad
6:40
Speaker 3: play into a better play. And this is why I
6:44
Speaker 3: think in year two, we've seen that with Trevor. We've
6:47
Speaker 3: seen the dialogue with him, We've seen that communication of
6:50
Speaker 3: the things that he likes, doesn't like, even even new
6:53
Speaker 3: plays that he wants to to bring to us and
6:55
Speaker 3: see if we can implement him in the game plan.
6:57
Speaker 3: And you know, we just we just continue to coach
6:59
Speaker 3: him to do the right thing with the football, take
7:02
Speaker 3: care of the football, and and then and then move
7:05
Speaker 3: our pieces around by by formation, motions and shifts that
7:09
Speaker 3: we create the most advantageous you know, matchup on the
7:13
Speaker 3: field on any any given play.
7:15
Speaker 2: Do you have to sometimes look at it, Trevor and go, God,
7:18
Speaker 2: he's still only twenty three.
7:21
Speaker 3: You know, it's amazing because he's very mature for twenty three.
7:25
Speaker 3: But yeah, sometimes you you have to just kind of
7:28
Speaker 3: pull back just a.
7:28
Speaker 4: Little bit and and and.
7:30
Speaker 3: You know, you're like, wow, we could we we We've
7:33
Speaker 3: got a lot of years with this quarterback, and and uh,
7:37
Speaker 3: you know, and and and that's the to me, that's
7:40
Speaker 3: the exciting part I think about this entire offense is
7:43
Speaker 3: just where he is and his maturity where he is,
7:45
Speaker 3: and his growth year two with US, year three in
7:48
Speaker 3: the National Football League. He's played a ton of football already.
7:51
Speaker 3: He's had success now on this stage, it's not the
7:54
Speaker 3: success that we ultimately want, but you know, he's been
7:58
Speaker 3: in big games and he's he's been able to put
8:01
Speaker 3: the team on his back and go win that football game.
8:03
Speaker 4: Right.
8:03
Speaker 3: So those are the things that we're excited about. His
8:06
Speaker 3: leadership ability. He's in a really good spot. He's throwing
8:09
Speaker 3: the ball extremely well, had a great training camp, you
8:12
Speaker 3: know that way. Just looking forward to, uh watching these
8:15
Speaker 3: guys play on on on Sunday.
8:18
Speaker 2: How well do you know Shane Steichen.
8:20
Speaker 3: I really don't know him personally, just more professionally. You know,
8:23
Speaker 3: it's head coaches and things of that nature. But I've
8:26
Speaker 3: had a lot of respect for him. He's done a
8:27
Speaker 3: nice job. Frank Brch and I of course are close
8:30
Speaker 3: and he's Frank. They've worked together before, and you know,
8:33
Speaker 3: if I know, Frank speaks highly of him, and you know,
8:36
Speaker 3: I look forward over the next several years getting to
8:38
Speaker 3: know him.
8:39
Speaker 2: And he worked for he worked for Mike McCoy, didn't
8:41
Speaker 2: He is like a quality control guy.
8:43
Speaker 3: They were all together and the old San Diego Chargers,
8:45
Speaker 3: they were all they were all together.
8:47
Speaker 2: That's right. Yeah, There's there's so many things that I
8:49
Speaker 2: know that coaches always right down and and I'll never
8:52
Speaker 2: forget sitting in Tom Coffin meetings. His keys to victory
8:55
Speaker 2: were about it was about fifty of them you know,
8:58
Speaker 2: and and most coaches like to be a little bit
8:59
Speaker 2: more simplified than that. Yeah, I would have to think
9:02
Speaker 2: that number one on your list is protect the football
9:04
Speaker 2: in this ball.
9:05
Speaker 3: Game, it's protect the football and then of course create
9:08
Speaker 3: takeaways on defense. Those that's the biggest thing. If you
9:10
Speaker 3: you know this, and the numbers don't lie, right, if
9:12
Speaker 3: if you don't turn the ball over, you're about seventy
9:14
Speaker 3: five percent chance to winning the football game. You know,
9:16
Speaker 3: if you turn it over one time or you know,
9:19
Speaker 3: something like it just drops too. I mean, so the
9:21
Speaker 3: numbers are obviously in your favor, and that's the that's
9:24
Speaker 3: the one thing that we have to really do a
9:27
Speaker 3: great job in is protecting the football offensively creating takeaways,
9:32
Speaker 3: which they did during the preseason. We got to continue
9:34
Speaker 3: that obviously, we preach that now with our defense creating
9:37
Speaker 3: takeaways and then when we do, our offense has to
9:40
Speaker 3: score touchdowns and and if you do that, you're gonna win.
9:44
Speaker 3: You can win a lot of games in this league.
9:46
Speaker 3: But but that you know, critical penalties, you know, at
9:50
Speaker 3: the wrong time, can also can also.
9:52
Speaker 4: Get you beat, especially in games like this.
9:54
Speaker 2: All right, coach, final thought with your division game on
9:56
Speaker 2: the road. Jags haven't won an Indy since seventeen. They've
9:59
Speaker 2: dropped nine of the last ten at Lucas Oil Stadium.
10:01
Speaker 4: That's the past.
10:03
Speaker 2: It's history. This Jags team is poised to write its
10:06
Speaker 2: own history.
10:07
Speaker 4: Isn't it.
10:08
Speaker 3: It is and and you know, and that's the exciting
10:10
Speaker 3: thing about it is it's a it's a new season,
10:12
Speaker 3: it's a new football team. Yeah, we wear the same
10:14
Speaker 3: colors and all that, but you know, these guys are excited.
10:17
Speaker 4: They're excited to take the field.
10:18
Speaker 3: To play with each other and to really to really
10:22
Speaker 3: begin this journey. It's a long season, but we take
10:25
Speaker 3: them one at a time, one day at a time,
10:26
Speaker 3: one game at a time, and really looking forward to
10:29
Speaker 3: these guys playing on Sunday.
10:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking forward to watching them. And by the way,
10:32
Speaker 2: it's Thursday night, Okay, the Big openers tonight. You're gonna
10:35
Speaker 2: get a chance to maybe watch a little bit of
10:37
Speaker 2: the game tonight.
10:38
Speaker 3: I'm gonna watch it, you know, I just want to
10:40
Speaker 3: see obviously, you know, we play the Chiefs in Week two,
10:43
Speaker 3: so you're gonna kind of watch it from a coach's
10:45
Speaker 3: perspective at the same time. But but just to kind
10:47
Speaker 3: of you know, you're a fan of the game, you know,
10:49
Speaker 3: and you love watching football, and it's entertaining obviously, and
10:53
Speaker 3: so yeah, I'll have that.
10:54
Speaker 4: I'll have it on in my office.
10:55
Speaker 5: Doug.
10:55
Speaker 2: Thanks for the time, Good luck to you.
10:57
Speaker 4: Thank you.
10:57
Speaker 2: Head coach Doug Peterson with us plenty more ahead pre
11:00
Speaker 2: previewing Jaguars Colts in Week one. This is the Doug
11:03
Speaker 2: Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
11:13
Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
11:17
Speaker 2: The Doug Peterson Show, presented by Fresh from Florida from
11:20
Speaker 2: the Hundai Studios at the Miller Electric Center in Jacksonville, JP, Shadwick,
11:24
Speaker 2: Jeff Logman, our thanks to head coach Doug Peterson for
11:27
Speaker 2: joining us. Coming up in just a little bit on
11:30
Speaker 2: this show, Kenny Albert of the NFL on Fox a
11:34
Speaker 2: portion of a conversation that will air in full on
11:37
Speaker 2: the Official Jaguars Podcast Network. But hey, Doug's ready, The
11:40
Speaker 2: Jags are ready. They're going on the road divisional game
11:44
Speaker 2: to get it started. Focus should all be there, And
11:48
Speaker 2: it sounds like some confidence coming out of this building. Yeah,
11:52
Speaker 2: I think he's confident, But I think as a coach
11:54
Speaker 2: you probably always have the butterflies, I guess you could say,
11:59
Speaker 2: just because you know, until you see your product, you
12:02
Speaker 2: really don't know what your football team has become. You know,
12:05
Speaker 2: every day that they spend on game day is when
12:08
Speaker 2: they're going to start to identify who they are and
12:10
Speaker 2: how they're going to be. But until you get there,
12:13
Speaker 2: you just don't know. Sometimes we've seen this offense and
12:16
Speaker 2: training camp and doing things in the preseason, some things
12:19
Speaker 2: in the preseason, but now you're out there for seventy plays, well,
12:24
Speaker 2: and that's that's a big deal.
12:26
Speaker 4: You know.
12:27
Speaker 2: I was having this conversation with with Biselli and Bucky
12:31
Speaker 2: and you were talking having our broadcast meeting earlier today,
12:35
Speaker 2: and you know, back in the day when you prepared
12:38
Speaker 2: for the season, you know you'd play a quarter, and
12:41
Speaker 2: then the second preseason game a half, and then the
12:43
Speaker 2: third preseason game, you know you'd like to go the
12:45
Speaker 2: first half and then come out after halftime take a series,
12:48
Speaker 2: and then the last game you didn't play at all. Well,
12:51
Speaker 2: it kind of got you acclimated a little bit close
12:54
Speaker 2: to the number of snaps that you would play in
12:55
Speaker 2: a game, which typically will fall anywhere in that sixty
12:58
Speaker 2: to seventy five range nowadays with the game. But I
13:02
Speaker 2: mean these guys played maybe thirty snaps at the most.
13:07
Speaker 2: I think a lot of the first team guys for
13:09
Speaker 2: the entire preseason, you know, the first game in Dallas,
13:12
Speaker 2: and then the second game they didn't play at all
13:14
Speaker 2: against the Detroit Lions, and you played some against the
13:17
Speaker 2: Miami Dolphins and expected to play a whole half, but
13:19
Speaker 2: then it didn't go on. So it's hard. It's hard
13:23
Speaker 2: to simulate game conditioning or getting ready to be game
13:28
Speaker 2: conditioned until you actually play games. And I would say
13:32
Speaker 2: that on average, it took my body about three games
13:35
Speaker 2: to feel like, Okay, now I'm going into week three
13:38
Speaker 2: or week four, Okay, I can I can handle sixty
13:41
Speaker 2: five snaps or seventy snaps and feel like I was okay.
13:45
Speaker 2: Whereas the first couple of games, you know, you get
13:46
Speaker 2: in that second half, you're like, sounds realistic, Wow, you're
13:53
Speaker 2: gas pretty good sound effects gassed, I mean gas for real.
13:57
Speaker 2: So and then if it's hot, that's a whole another
14:00
Speaker 2: layer to deal with. Fortunately, in Indianapolis climate controlled or
14:06
Speaker 2: the windows, doors will be open, and it should be
14:09
Speaker 2: pretty nice plenty to get to. We'll come back in
14:12
Speaker 2: a moment and break down this Jaguars defense and what
14:16
Speaker 2: they have to do to slow down Anthony Richardson and
14:20
Speaker 2: what the heck that's going to look like in the
14:24
Speaker 2: Indianapolis offensive scheme. The Doug Peterson Show presented by Fresh

Speaker 1: Welcome Back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
14:55
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Doug Peterson Show is presented by Fresh
14:58
Speaker 2: from Florida JPHA, Chadwick, Jeff Flagman. Our thanks to head
15:03
Speaker 2: coach Doug Peterson joining us in the opening segment each
15:05
Speaker 2: and every week during the regular season. Coming up, Kenny
15:09
Speaker 2: Albert NFL on Fox. He has the call of the
15:12
Speaker 2: game this Sunday at Indianapolis. All right, so we promised
15:17
Speaker 2: to Anthony Richardson is the starting quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts.
15:21
Speaker 2: The starting running back is not available. Jonathan Taylor, one
15:26
Speaker 2: of the top running backs in the NFL. Oh, let's
15:30
Speaker 2: get your microphone on there. We go is he on?
15:33
Speaker 2: By the way, is it the PUP NFI injured Reserve?
15:42
Speaker 2: I mean there's three possible designations because he's not available
15:45
Speaker 2: to play until after week four, I believe correct. So
15:50
Speaker 2: I'm just kind of curious as to because he's It's like,
15:53
Speaker 2: I guess he's holding in because he wants a new
15:55
Speaker 2: contract even though he's had an ankle procedure. He is
15:59
Speaker 2: on the physically unable to perform PUP. Yes, okay, here's that.
16:06
Speaker 2: That means Anthony Richardson. And then then now the next
16:11
Speaker 2: running back who would be first string on the depth
16:13
Speaker 2: chart is on the injury report this week. Okay, it's
16:17
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson. Welcome to the NFL. You don't have your
16:19
Speaker 2: full assortment of weapons with you. You're playing a team
16:23
Speaker 2: that went to the playoffs last year, that has every
16:25
Speaker 2: defensive starter back for the most part, that's hungry to
16:30
Speaker 2: get home. Good luck, Anthony. How do you defend him?
16:34
Speaker 2: The way he plays, the way he runs the side, Well,
16:37
Speaker 2: everything that comes with that, Well, the first thing is
16:39
Speaker 2: what you do with your eyes. I think that's the
16:41
Speaker 2: first decision that you make as a coaching step. What
16:44
Speaker 2: are we going to do with our defensive eyes, and
16:47
Speaker 2: you have to keep eyes on him. And what I
16:50
Speaker 2: mean by that is you don't want to play man
16:53
Speaker 2: coverage versus a quarterback that could tuck it and run
16:56
Speaker 2: it at any time. So you have to be able
16:59
Speaker 2: to play zone so that you have eleven potential tacklers
17:04
Speaker 2: on the field all the time, because if you're playing man,
17:06
Speaker 2: you don't have eleven potential tacklers in reality, because people
17:10
Speaker 2: have their backs turn. And because he is a very
17:16
Speaker 2: wish I say, a talented prospect. I don't want to
17:18
Speaker 2: say talented quarterback because it's yet to be determined. Oh,
17:21
Speaker 2: he's a freak prospect, but he's a talented prospect. You
17:24
Speaker 2: know that he has the ability to make some throws
17:27
Speaker 2: and make special runs. We've seen that, but can he
17:31
Speaker 2: do it consistently? So when you as far as his
17:35
Speaker 2: arm goes, it's better if you make sure you've got
17:37
Speaker 2: a safety that's playing deep to prevent you know, the
17:41
Speaker 2: monster home run play, which if you're playing man, you're
17:45
Speaker 2: probably more apt to give up. And then also when
17:48
Speaker 2: you're playing man, you don't have your eyes on him.
17:50
Speaker 2: So you play a zone and play a softer zone.
17:53
Speaker 2: And here's the way to kind of compare it. Play
17:56
Speaker 2: like Gus Bradley, right, I mean, play like Gus Bradley,
18:00
Speaker 2: play that that zone that softs on. Let him try
18:02
Speaker 2: to complete the stuff underneath to see if he can
18:05
Speaker 2: do it. And then also you have all your guys
18:08
Speaker 2: underneath that have eyes on him, so that if he
18:11
Speaker 2: tucks it and runs it, you got people coming up
18:14
Speaker 2: to lay the wood on a running quarterback to see
18:17
Speaker 2: if that two hundred and forty four pounds it runs
18:20
Speaker 2: four four to three, which is legitimate, four four three,
18:24
Speaker 2: if he can take the pounding. Because you know, college
18:27
Speaker 2: and pros is different. Okay, the licks that they put
18:32
Speaker 2: on in the pros is way different than they put
18:35
Speaker 2: on in college. I'm just gonna tell you some of
18:37
Speaker 2: them are the same. But play in and play out,
18:41
Speaker 2: you're playing with men. This idea of the RPO scheme,
18:48
Speaker 2: you know, the mesh point and everything that comes to
18:50
Speaker 2: the running back if he pulls it out. I mean
18:53
Speaker 2: that from a defensive perspective has to be just difficult.
18:57
Speaker 2: One more thing to look at to think about, to
18:59
Speaker 2: worry about, to make a decision if am I going
19:02
Speaker 2: on after the running back or am I going to
19:04
Speaker 2: let him loose?
19:04
Speaker 4: And get by me.
19:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, and here's a decision for a middle linebacker. Okay,
19:09
Speaker 2: quarterback takes the snap, he opens up to his right,
19:13
Speaker 2: Here comes the running back. He sticks it in the
19:16
Speaker 2: stomach of the running back, and now the linebacker has
19:18
Speaker 2: to make a decision. Is that my responsibility? So I
19:21
Speaker 2: attack the running back? Well, what happens if he pulls
19:23
Speaker 2: it out of the running back stomach and then keeps
19:26
Speaker 2: it on the outside. Okay, So now you've got the linebacker.
19:30
Speaker 2: He's trying to figure out am I going to tackle
19:32
Speaker 2: the running back or is he going to keep it
19:34
Speaker 2: and run to the outside. Well, then here comes the
19:37
Speaker 2: third thing. He pulls that ball out of the stomach
19:40
Speaker 2: of the running back, shuffles back two steps or one step,
19:44
Speaker 2: and throws it to a slant route right behind the
19:46
Speaker 2: linebacker who's coming up to attack the line of scrimmage
19:48
Speaker 2: in the handoff. Look. I mean, that's a hard position
19:52
Speaker 2: to be in if you're a linebacker. It's hard to
19:54
Speaker 2: play fast and furious when you're I don't want to
19:58
Speaker 2: say indecisive, but you're unsh sure as to what the
20:01
Speaker 2: play is actually gonna be. We'll come back in just
20:05
Speaker 2: a moment and hear from Kenny Albert NFL on Fox.
20:09
Speaker 2: He as the call of the game this Sunday. A
20:11
Speaker 2: little later Jaguars offensive line talk and the challenge this week.
20:16
Speaker 2: I get some pretty good players up front for the
20:18
Speaker 2: Indianapolis Colts and in the front seven of that defense.
20:22
Speaker 2: This is the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
20:32
Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
20:37
Speaker 2: And The Doug Peterson Show is presented by Fresh from Florida,
20:40
Speaker 2: the Jaguars and the Indianapolis Colts. Coming up Sunday, Lucas
20:44
Speaker 2: Oil Stadium, JP, Shadwick, Jeff Logman coming back in just
20:47
Speaker 2: a few minutes. Kenny Albert of Fox Sports sat down
20:50
Speaker 2: with me earlier this week. The full conversation available tomorrow
20:54
Speaker 2: in the Official Jaguars Podcast Network. It's the thirtieth year
20:58
Speaker 2: of the NFL on Fox. The only game announcer to
21:03
Speaker 2: be there all thirty years, Kenny Alberts of Fox Sports,
21:07
Speaker 2: who knows momentum is building for the.
21:09
Speaker 5: Jags, absolutely, and it's sort of reminiscent. I remember doing
21:13
Speaker 5: a couple of games early on around ninety five, ninety six,
21:17
Speaker 5: ninety seven when the Jaguars first came into the league,
21:20
Speaker 5: and I specifically remember a game. I'm pretty sure it
21:23
Speaker 5: was ninety five, meeting with Tom Coughlin for the first time,
21:26
Speaker 5: and then the next year they have the great success
21:29
Speaker 5: in the playoffs, as did Carolina the two expansion teams
21:32
Speaker 5: from ninety five. So I've always been a big fan
21:35
Speaker 5: of Doug. Peterson did many Eagles games during his tenure there,
21:38
Speaker 5: and he's done a terrific job in Jacksonville watching the
21:42
Speaker 5: progression of Trevor Lawrence and the entire team. Haven't worked
21:46
Speaker 5: a game, like I said, since twenty eighteen involving the Jaguars,
21:49
Speaker 5: but watched the playoff games last year in preparing for
21:53
Speaker 5: this game. Very excited to sit down with Doug and
21:56
Speaker 5: Trevor and a couple of the others on Saturday and
21:58
Speaker 5: then call the game on Sunday.
22:00
Speaker 2: Robert NFL on Fox with US Jaguars Colts coming up. Well,
22:04
Speaker 2: you know what helps the head coach has great success
22:06
Speaker 2: as a franchise quarterback, and they seem to have one
22:09
Speaker 2: here in Jacksonville and Trevor Lawrence and we all know
22:12
Speaker 2: what happened his rookie season. Not an ideal start for him,
22:15
Speaker 2: but a reset last year and about halfway through he
22:18
Speaker 2: really started to figure it out. But that growth can continue.
22:21
Speaker 2: Now everybody's back. This is this is a rare moment
22:24
Speaker 2: that everybody almost is back from an offense and a
22:28
Speaker 2: defense for that matter, from last season before all the
22:30
Speaker 2: contract things happen in the next year or two, and
22:33
Speaker 2: that can help the quarterback continue to grow. But what
22:36
Speaker 2: can that growth do. Yeah, for the football team, but
22:39
Speaker 2: for the organization as a whole.
22:41
Speaker 5: Hell, you're right jp that continuity having just about every
22:44
Speaker 5: starter back is huge. You know, we've seen teams that
22:47
Speaker 5: have had success in the past just get decimated in
22:50
Speaker 5: free agency, lose players along the way. But when you
22:54
Speaker 5: talk about Trevor Lawrence, you know, I think back to
22:56
Speaker 5: so many quarterbacks who didn't necessarily have that success right
23:00
Speaker 5: away or even play much the first year. You know,
23:04
Speaker 5: Drew Brees sat his first year out in San Diego,
23:08
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers sat for three years in Green Bay behind
23:11
Speaker 5: Brett Farr before he got an opportunity. And you think
23:14
Speaker 5: back to Troy Aikman and Eli Manning and Peyton Manning
23:17
Speaker 5: their first years. You know, the stats weren't that great.
23:20
Speaker 5: It was a learning experience, so it does take time,
23:22
Speaker 5: and when you look at what Trevor did last year
23:25
Speaker 5: during the second half of the season, you could tell
23:28
Speaker 5: just the confidences building, you know, working with with Doug
23:32
Speaker 5: Peterson and the coaching staff, you know, for the first time,
23:35
Speaker 5: and just growing each each week. And it certainly plateaued
23:41
Speaker 5: up during the latter stages of the regular season last
23:43
Speaker 5: year into the postseason, and the Jaguars certainly hope that
23:46
Speaker 5: it carries over to the start.
23:48
Speaker 4: Of this season.
23:49
Speaker 2: Kenny, how do you defend this Jaguars offense? His weapons everywhere.
23:54
Speaker 2: They've got a running game. If they want it, they
23:56
Speaker 2: can throw it around. They've got to tie the end
23:58
Speaker 2: or two. They've had Alvin Ridley pound for pound, they
24:02
Speaker 2: can hang with almost anybody.
24:04
Speaker 5: No, you're right, and defensive coordinators are going to have
24:07
Speaker 5: some tough choices as far as who to double team.
24:09
Speaker 5: For example, I saw Calvin Ridley play so many games
24:12
Speaker 5: in Atlanta, and he's obviously a top talent in the NFL.
24:16
Speaker 5: So I can't wait to watch them on Sunday. And
24:19
Speaker 5: you know, the Cults are a team that headed in
24:21
Speaker 5: the other direction during the second half of last season,
24:23
Speaker 5: losing their last seven games. They made the coaching change
24:26
Speaker 5: from Frank Wright to Jeff Saturday. Now they bring in
24:29
Speaker 5: Shane Steichen from the Eagles, So again, cults are gonna
24:33
Speaker 5: have some decisions to make defensively and it should be
24:35
Speaker 5: a lot of fun to watch.
24:37
Speaker 2: Final thought with you in speaking of the Colts, Yeah,
24:39
Speaker 2: a lot of changes. Their new head coach as you mentioned,
24:41
Speaker 2: but new quarterback as well, running back issues. There's a
24:45
Speaker 2: lot going on in Indianapolis. But just the unknown of
24:48
Speaker 2: Week one can be a challenge. What is that going
24:51
Speaker 2: to look like with Anthony Richardson? What are the Colts
24:55
Speaker 2: actually roll out there on Sunday? In terms of a scheme,
24:58
Speaker 2: you don't really know. One has a lot of surprises
25:01
Speaker 2: most years.
25:02
Speaker 5: Well, I'm sure the Jaguars and I've read it they've
25:04
Speaker 5: been watching a lot of Eagles tape, which is where
25:07
Speaker 5: the head coach, Shane Steichen, as we just talked about,
25:09
Speaker 5: came from excited to watch Anthony Richardson to sit down
25:13
Speaker 5: with him on Friday and hear his thoughts. I watched
25:16
Speaker 5: their last preseason game against Philadelphia and you could just
25:19
Speaker 5: see the size, the strength, the athleticism. From all accounts,
25:23
Speaker 5: He's so smart both on and off the field only
25:26
Speaker 5: thirteen starts in college, so not a lot of experience.
25:29
Speaker 5: But at the running back position, you know, you mentioned
25:33
Speaker 5: some flux with Jonathan Taylor missing at least the first
25:35
Speaker 5: four games. They do have some young wide receivers and
25:39
Speaker 5: some weapons around Richardson, so we'll see what happens. But
25:42
Speaker 5: you're right week one, you know, we get these assignments
25:45
Speaker 5: months in advance for week one, and you spend so
25:47
Speaker 5: much time focusing on week one, and then the game's over,
25:50
Speaker 5: and all of a sudden, you have another one in
25:51
Speaker 5: seven days. And I'm sure it's the same way for
25:53
Speaker 5: the players and coaches. But everybody's record is even. Everybody's
25:58
Speaker 5: zero and zero at this point. A lot of optimism,
26:00
Speaker 5: I'm sure in all thirty two NFL cities.
26:04
Speaker 2: Kenny alberts the NFL on Fox and he's got a
26:08
Speaker 2: new book coming out in October and it is entitled
26:12
Speaker 2: A Mic for All Seasons. He is the only announcer
26:15
Speaker 2: to cover regularly all four major US sports at the
26:19
Speaker 2: same time. Crossover season is something else for him. We'll
26:22
Speaker 2: see Kenny Albert on television this Sunday for the Jaguars
26:27
Speaker 2: and the Colts on Fox Sports.
26:29
Speaker 4: Back in the moment.
26:29
Speaker 2: Jeff Logman back with US Jaguars offensive line, how do
26:34
Speaker 2: they handle the front seven for the Indianapolis Colts and
26:37
Speaker 2: Gus Bradley's defense. It's The Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio.
26:48
Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
26:53
Speaker 2: The Doug Peterson Show presented by Fresh from Florida, JP Shadwick,
26:59
Speaker 2: Jeff Logoman. I'm glad you're with us thanks to head
27:01
Speaker 2: coach Doug Peterson joining us in the opening segment, or
27:04
Speaker 2: thanks to Kenny Albert for the time this week NFL
27:07
Speaker 2: on Fox. The full conversation again tomorrow on the Official
27:10
Speaker 2: Jaguars Podcast Network. He does more than football. Yeah, he
27:14
Speaker 2: does every major US sport. Yeah. I was gonna say
27:17
Speaker 2: he's all over the place. Yeah, and it's it's constant it.
27:21
Speaker 2: He's like the Rangers hockey announcer in New York. He's
27:25
Speaker 2: doing baseball on Fox occasionally now not as much as
27:28
Speaker 2: he used to. Is he doing basketball? He's doing basketball
27:33
Speaker 2: like he's everywhere. Yeah, it's nonstopping. He literally works all
27:37
Speaker 2: the time. Yeah, there was a stretch I think in
27:41
Speaker 2: what year it was there he was on the air
27:46
Speaker 2: like thirty eight of thirty forty four days or something. Wow,
27:51
Speaker 2: like different sports back and forth, whatever, and how somebody
27:55
Speaker 2: can kind of reprogram names numbers on a day to
28:00
Speaker 2: day basis like that, right, just info on teams and people.
28:03
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it's a lot. Yeah, I mean that's impressed.
28:06
Speaker 2: And the knowledge of all the sports and the rules
28:08
Speaker 2: and everything that comes like that, the details that grow
28:10
Speaker 2: into the actual game itself. A kind of a savant well,
28:15
Speaker 2: I mean yes, yeah, I mean it runs in the
28:18
Speaker 2: family though, oh absolutely, Marv Albert his dad, the legendary broadcaster.
28:22
Speaker 2: Hopefully something other things don't run in this out It's
28:25
Speaker 2: but Kenny was really good with his time and we're
28:28
Speaker 2: looking forward to hearing that full conversation on the Official
28:31
Speaker 2: Jaguars Podcast network. Jaguars Offensive Line the challenge this week
28:36
Speaker 2: to Forrest Buckner on the interior of that front. Strong
28:41
Speaker 2: good player. Yeah, he's he's kind of odd a little
28:44
Speaker 2: bit in that. You know, for many years, people didn't
28:47
Speaker 2: think that a six foot six guy could play defensive
28:50
Speaker 2: tackle because they thought, you know, they were suspect to
28:53
Speaker 2: low blocks and couldn't handle them. And you go back
28:57
Speaker 2: to the Colts back in the early days and they
28:59
Speaker 2: had a couple of big, tall, long guys when they
29:02
Speaker 2: were running a three to four John I think Jonathan
29:04
Speaker 2: hand was his name. Kind of reminds me of him
29:06
Speaker 2: a little bit. But it's amazing that the Colts were
29:09
Speaker 2: able to get a premier player like him in a
29:12
Speaker 2: trade and gave up just a first round pick. I mean,
29:16
Speaker 2: that's a small price to pay for a player who
29:20
Speaker 2: is going to give you and has given you many
29:23
Speaker 2: years of great service. And he's been dependable. He's been reliable,
29:29
Speaker 2: he's been consistent. He's good against the run as he
29:33
Speaker 2: is against the pass. You know, he's not one of
29:36
Speaker 2: those one trick ponies that can either stop the run
29:39
Speaker 2: or rush the pastor he does both very well. I
29:43
Speaker 2: think he's I think Gus Bradley is very happy to
29:46
Speaker 2: have him. And he's got positional flexibility. He could play tackle,
29:51
Speaker 2: he could play end. He can rush from the edge,
29:54
Speaker 2: although that's kind of not his forte, but he could
29:58
Speaker 2: like from a five technique, a three technique to a
30:01
Speaker 2: one technique, he can play them all. You go to
30:04
Speaker 2: the second level of the defense and Leonard is back
30:07
Speaker 2: out of the concussion protocol. He's back after back surgery
30:11
Speaker 2: last year, he's missed most of the season and when
30:14
Speaker 2: he's when he's on, he's an All Pro caliber player.
30:17
Speaker 2: He is, and I don't know if he's going to
30:18
Speaker 2: be on right away, but look, the guy that's right
30:22
Speaker 2: alongside him is a good football player. To Msire Franklin,
30:25
Speaker 2: the two really good linebackers, especially if if Shaquille Leonard
30:29
Speaker 2: is back to play in the way that he used
30:30
Speaker 2: to play when he was a what three time All
30:34
Speaker 2: Pro in the National Football League, And here's the reality,
30:38
Speaker 2: he was should have been four time. I mean his
30:40
Speaker 2: rookie year, he probably should have been an All Pro
30:42
Speaker 2: player then, but you know, typically takes a year to
30:45
Speaker 2: get the recognition and then the second year to get
30:48
Speaker 2: the votes. And you know, the weakness though with the
30:53
Speaker 2: Colts defense is on the perimeter, on the perimeter of
30:56
Speaker 2: the of the front seven and the perimeter in the
31:00
Speaker 2: back end. Quity Pay is a good football player, and
31:05
Speaker 2: they went out and signed in free agency of San
31:07
Speaker 2: Francisco for forty nine or Sampson ibu Kom is a
31:10
Speaker 2: defensive end, a pretty productive player. Can he be good?
31:14
Speaker 2: Can Quity Pay be good on the edges? And then
31:17
Speaker 2: you've got a second year corner on one side, a
31:19
Speaker 2: first year corner on the other with a draft pick
31:22
Speaker 2: corner in the second round as your nickel kind of player,
31:27
Speaker 2: or should I say fourth corner because Kenny Moore is
31:29
Speaker 2: your nickel. Your safeties are young either one of them
31:33
Speaker 2: I think are over their second year. So I mean,
31:35
Speaker 2: this is a young group overall. But I think it's
31:38
Speaker 2: a This is an advantage Jaguars with that secondary, but
31:43
Speaker 2: advantage Jaggs. Yeah, advantage Jaguars. But you got to make
31:48
Speaker 2: sure that you're patient because again they're not going to
31:50
Speaker 2: be playing up tight and be aggressive. They're going to
31:52
Speaker 2: be playing off a little bit, playing a lot of
31:55
Speaker 2: zone how much like they did last year. That's okay,
32:00
Speaker 2: be a patient team. Well, and I think and I
32:02
Speaker 2: think Trevor last year, I remember it was it week two,
32:06
Speaker 2: the first Colts matchup. Yeah, I believe it was week two,
32:11
Speaker 2: and we were talking about it leading up to the
32:13
Speaker 2: game and knew how Gus Bradley played. Can Trevor has
32:16
Speaker 2: a patient because you know a lot of young quarterbacks
32:18
Speaker 2: they don't want to have the patients to continue to
32:20
Speaker 2: take what the defense has given them. Sometimes they want
32:23
Speaker 2: to force it for an extra ten yards, try to
32:25
Speaker 2: make a big play instead of, you know, be happy
32:28
Speaker 2: with a five yard completion every now and again, and
32:32
Speaker 2: you know, hopefully he gets run after the catch. And Trevor,
32:34
Speaker 2: did I think a masterful job against the Colts last year?
32:37
Speaker 2: I mean, you look at the numbers and I've got
32:40
Speaker 2: them right here. Forty five of fifty two. That's an
32:42
Speaker 2: eighty six point five percent completion rate, four hundred yards passing,
32:46
Speaker 2: three touchdown passes, zero interceptions. If he continues to have
32:51
Speaker 2: the patients like he had last year, this should be
32:55
Speaker 2: a good day for the Jaguars offense against a Colts
32:59
Speaker 2: defense that I think is going to be put on
33:02
Speaker 2: the field more than they want to be. I like
33:07
Speaker 2: that when I say more than they want to be.
33:09
Speaker 2: I think the Colts offense is going to struggle like
33:12
Speaker 2: most young quarterbacks will in their first game, quick changes,
33:16
Speaker 2: whatever it is, well three and outs or you know,
33:18
Speaker 2: turnovers or things of that nature, which will put even
33:21
Speaker 2: more pressure on a Colts defense. And the reality is
33:26
Speaker 2: your strength is your wide receiver, skill set, your skill position, guys.
33:30
Speaker 2: Okay in Trevor and the Colts weakness is the cornerbacks,
33:36
Speaker 2: the secondary as a whole, And can they can they
33:41
Speaker 2: hold up? I think that that's a lot to ask
33:43
Speaker 2: of them. Back in the moments. More preview of this
33:48
Speaker 2: Jaguars Colts matchup at Lucas Oil Stadium Sunday, one o'clock
33:53
Speaker 2: the kickoff time. And this is the Doug Peterson Show
33:56
Speaker 2: on the Jaguars Radio Network. The Doug Peterson Show is
34:07
Speaker 2: presented by Fresh from Florida, JP Shadrick and Jeff Logman.
34:12
Speaker 2: The Jaguars and the Colts coming up Sunday, one o'clock
34:15
Speaker 2: Lucas Oil Stadium, Downtown India. Thanks to Doug Peterson joining
34:18
Speaker 2: us in the opening segment. Kenny Albert NFL on Fox.
34:22
Speaker 2: He has the play by play of the game on
34:24
Speaker 2: Sunday on television. It's time now for the Microsoft Question
34:28
Speaker 2: of the Night and yeah, Microsoft surface the official tablet
34:33
Speaker 2: of the NFL. Hey, logs, here's the question for you.
34:36
Speaker 2: But you got a couple of them, I guess, questions plural.
34:40
Speaker 2: What is your greatest concern for the Jaguars entering Week one?
34:44
Speaker 2: And what are you most confident in about this team
34:48
Speaker 2: entering week one? Well, confidence wise, it's Trevor and the
34:54
Speaker 2: coaching staff. I mean, I think the two of them
34:56
Speaker 2: are a perfect fit and it can't get any better
34:59
Speaker 2: than that. Concerns, are you talking about concerns just for
35:03
Speaker 2: this game this week or concern for the season. You know,
35:08
Speaker 2: let's go with the game, the game against for the game.
35:13
Speaker 2: The only concern that I have is that in Week one,
35:18
Speaker 2: a lot of times surprises happen and unknowns can happen.
35:24
Speaker 2: And if that happens to the Jaguars, or if they
35:29
Speaker 2: turn the ball over or something like that or in
35:32
Speaker 2: this ball game, then all of a sudden, you get
35:34
Speaker 2: a young team in Indianapolis that's going to get generate
35:37
Speaker 2: some momentum at home and gain confidence. And that that
35:41
Speaker 2: obviously concerns me, is that if you turn the ball
35:43
Speaker 2: over early in a game like that and you're like,
35:45
Speaker 2: whoa wait a minute, you know, in a game like
35:50
Speaker 2: that for the season, though as a whole concerns, I
35:52
Speaker 2: mean there's some concern. I mean, can the defense with
35:55
Speaker 2: as potent as the offense is we believe it's gonna
35:59
Speaker 2: be and jp you know, they're gonna be playing with
36:02
Speaker 2: all those you know, two possession leads that you say
36:04
Speaker 2: they're gonna blow them out every week. I mean, they
36:06
Speaker 2: get used to it, get used to it. That's what
36:09
Speaker 2: I say, can you rush the passer effectively with all
36:13
Speaker 2: these two possessional leads? JP said around here? This ain't
36:17
Speaker 2: two thousand and eight. I mean that's you know, the
36:22
Speaker 2: past defense. I mean, you look at the numbers last year,
36:25
Speaker 2: because that's what you have to do. You have to
36:27
Speaker 2: go back and you have to look at the numbers
36:29
Speaker 2: from last year of the history. And last year, I
36:31
Speaker 2: think the takeaways by the defense was a big help
36:34
Speaker 2: for them overall performance wise, absolutely, and it's hard to
36:37
Speaker 2: argue that. I mean, it had twenty seven takeaways that
36:40
Speaker 2: led to one hundred and four points of the offense.
36:42
Speaker 2: I mean that's a tremendous number, twenty seven, and that
36:45
Speaker 2: was the fourth most takeaways of the National Football League.
36:49
Speaker 2: And because of those numbers of the takeaways that it
36:53
Speaker 2: kind of covered up maybe some warts in the overall
36:56
Speaker 2: performance of the defense, you know, because if you look
36:58
Speaker 2: at some of the other categories defense against the pass,
37:01
Speaker 2: they were like twenty eighth and third down production they
37:04
Speaker 2: were twenty ninth and percent in July owed. I mean,
37:06
Speaker 2: so those aren't very favorable numbers. I mean that's bottom
37:09
Speaker 2: five of the league, right, and so you want to
37:11
Speaker 2: make sure that you improve on those categories this year,
37:15
Speaker 2: but you may not have twenty seven takeaways to help
37:18
Speaker 2: bail you out, to help those categories out. So that's
37:21
Speaker 2: that would be a concern of mine about this football team.
37:27
Speaker 2: For example, you remember, let's go back in Jaguars history.
37:30
Speaker 2: I can't wait for this history twenty seventeen, which was
37:34
Speaker 2: one of the most prolific defenses in the history of
37:36
Speaker 2: the National Football League that year, twenty seventeen, the Jaguars
37:40
Speaker 2: defense takeaways, I mean they were made statistically, yes, they
37:44
Speaker 2: were up there, Yes they were starting. You know, they're
37:47
Speaker 2: eighty five bears ish, you know, I mean the numbers
37:50
Speaker 2: were incredible, yes, But then next year what happened. I mean,
37:54
Speaker 2: the wheels fell off, you think, especially from a takeover standpoint.
37:59
Speaker 2: So you hope that. And Doug mentioned it early about
38:04
Speaker 2: the takeaways, because I brought it up about protecting the
38:06
Speaker 2: football and his first response was, but also taking the
38:09
Speaker 2: ball away, And I think this defense, you know, you hope,
38:13
Speaker 2: And they did in the preseason. They did a really
38:15
Speaker 2: good job of it in the preseason. Obviously, Mike Caldwell
38:18
Speaker 2: does a really good job of emphasizing that, and his
38:20
Speaker 2: coaching staff does a really good job of teaching that
38:23
Speaker 2: because last year it showed so far in the preseason,
38:26
Speaker 2: it showed, you know, and you just wanted to continue
38:29
Speaker 2: to show in the regular season. Yeah. And there's ballhawks
38:33
Speaker 2: in the back end that are flying around, eager to
38:36
Speaker 2: see some in the air this week, and that can
38:39
Speaker 2: be where you can take an advantage on a rookie quarterback.
38:41
Speaker 2: Everything's moving fast if you can keep him contained in
38:44
Speaker 2: that pocket and he's got to throw one up in
38:46
Speaker 2: a hurry. Yeah, okay, And look, Anthony Richardson was a
38:51
Speaker 2: you know, barely over fifty four percent completion percentage quarterback
38:54
Speaker 2: in college. And you've got a secondary that's been working
38:59
Speaker 2: together for quite some time and pretty good. And you
39:02
Speaker 2: got four guys on the defense that had three interceptions
39:06
Speaker 2: last year, one of them being a linebacker and Devin Lloyd,
39:09
Speaker 2: which is crazy I to have a linebacker to have
39:11
Speaker 2: those kind of numbers. But you know, I really like
39:14
Speaker 2: Andre Cisco in the back end. Ray Shawn was tremendous
39:17
Speaker 2: last year. I mean, to two games, the two big
39:20
Speaker 2: plays that he had the Tennessee game the Dallas game.
39:24
Speaker 2: I mean, you're talking about game winning type of place
39:27
Speaker 2: Tyson Campbell looks ready to take that next step into
39:31
Speaker 2: the the the group of elite cornerbacks in the National
39:35
Speaker 2: Football League. Maybe, you know, so you're excited about those
39:38
Speaker 2: guys because they're all back, you know, but you know,
39:41
Speaker 2: the question mark still remains. You know, Darius Williams, how's
39:44
Speaker 2: he going to do? And who's going to be the
39:46
Speaker 2: third corner? Trey Hern It's gonna be the third corner?
39:49
Speaker 2: Right Well? I think this week, I mean, I think
39:51
Speaker 2: you're gonna lean on Tray a little bit this week
39:52
Speaker 2: because trades are really good tackler. Trades a very physical
39:56
Speaker 2: presence when he plays Nicole, and I don't know what
39:58
Speaker 2: and he's gonna do. I mean, what what personnel group
40:00
Speaker 2: you know are they going to do? I mean, you
40:02
Speaker 2: look at the way their roster is constructed. They've got
40:07
Speaker 2: four wide receivers on their roster and I believe four
40:11
Speaker 2: tight ends. I mean, so how are they going to
40:14
Speaker 2: play the game. What's what's the style that they're going
40:16
Speaker 2: to play? You be lining up with a notre dame box.
40:19
Speaker 2: What are they doing? I mean with four receivers? I'm kidding,
40:22
Speaker 2: of course, I don't expect them to come out in
40:24
Speaker 2: a lot of three wide receiver sets. I don't I
40:28
Speaker 2: think that they're going to run a lot of tight
40:31
Speaker 2: end heavy groupings, whether it be two tight ends maybe
40:35
Speaker 2: three tight ends. Limit the number of wide receivers on
40:37
Speaker 2: the field because they're going to come out and they're
40:40
Speaker 2: going to try to pound the football and then try
40:42
Speaker 2: to do a lot of short stuff for Anthony Richardson
40:45
Speaker 2: to make some easy completions, do a lot of the
40:47
Speaker 2: rpo stuff, Let him run, get him comfortable, get him
40:51
Speaker 2: in the flow of the game, and fill the Jaguars
40:55
Speaker 2: to minimize some of the effectiveness of that offense. You're
40:58
Speaker 2: going to have to tackle well, because if if you
41:00
Speaker 2: don't tackle well, then all of a sudden, the leaky
41:01
Speaker 2: yard is going to start hurting. Yet, we're back in
41:04
Speaker 2: just a moment a preview of Sunday's game and television tonight.
41:09
Speaker 2: This is The Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio.
41:18
Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
41:23
Speaker 2: Yes it does. Presented by Fresh from Florida, JP Shadwick,
41:27
Speaker 2: Jeff Logoman, Jaguars Colts one o'clock kickoff time, Lucas Oil
41:31
Speaker 2: Stadium Week one Kickoff Weekend can't wait. I can't wait.
41:35
Speaker 2: I can't wait for tonight. Oh yeah, this football tonight too.
41:39
Speaker 2: The World champs. The Chiefs are hosting the Lions. Right, yes, yes,
41:45
Speaker 2: they're Super Bowl champ that's right. Get to that would
41:48
Speaker 2: get to open at home? Right, that would be a
41:50
Speaker 2: rough draw if you had to all of a sudden,
41:53
Speaker 2: you go on the road to Detroit Week one. I
41:55
Speaker 2: said this earlier. I think this is going to be
41:57
Speaker 2: a good football game. I think it's going to be
41:59
Speaker 2: closer than what many people believe. I think Detroit is.
42:02
Speaker 2: I don't want to say that they're ready to to contend,
42:06
Speaker 2: but look at the list of contenders in the NFC.
42:10
Speaker 2: He's pretty sure saying that division is different now, Aaron
42:12
Speaker 2: Rodgers walking through that door. I think that they're gonna
42:15
Speaker 2: be I think there'll be top dogs in that division.
42:18
Speaker 2: I like Dan Campbell. Talked with him at the Jaguars
42:23
Speaker 2: joint practices that they had, and and he's kind of
42:26
Speaker 2: an old school coach, but he's still got a little
42:30
Speaker 2: new newness flare to him. What was his line about
42:33
Speaker 2: biting kneecaps or something when he first got the gig. Yeah,
42:36
Speaker 2: I mean it's kind of that that Monty Python approach.
42:41
Speaker 2: He's got the attitude, you know, keep biting them even
42:46
Speaker 2: if you don't have any arms left. I've not yet
42:49
Speaker 2: begun to fight. That's right, all right, So that would
42:52
Speaker 2: be tonight tonight. By the way, if I get into
42:55
Speaker 2: a like a like a back room barroom fight, I
42:59
Speaker 2: want Dan Campbell there. He's still dude. Yeah, you want
43:03
Speaker 2: him on your side. I think he could still block
43:05
Speaker 2: some people.
43:06
Speaker 4: You can do a lot of things.
43:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, he can do whatever he wants. I think tonight
43:11
Speaker 2: television Jaguars All Access, Strings Sports Brewery in Springfield, great venue,
43:17
Speaker 2: TV's all over. The place should be a packed house.
43:19

43:21
Speaker 2: Kai and then Evan Ingram. Evan Ingram excited about having him.
43:27

43:32
Speaker 2: very thoughtful when you talk to him. He's as good
43:35
Speaker 2: of a guy as you'll ever imagine. And so I
43:38
Speaker 2: know that people are really excited to kind of kick

44:06
