  Speaker 1: Welcome in. It's Jaguars Happy Hour. It is Thursday. It
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: is the f a f C Divisional Playoff coming up.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: We've got a busy two hours ahead, starting with Jaguars
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Happy Hour. Analyst Jeff Logaman standing by as is tight
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: end Chris Manherts will get his final thoughts on last week,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: but look ahead to the Kansas City Chiefs visit to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Arrowhead coming up the loudest place in the NFL, the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show, coming up at five o'clock. We'll hear
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: from the Jaguars head coach and get his final thoughts
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: about the trip ahead to a place he knows very well.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Of course, this Jaguars team knows it very well. They
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: played their back in week number ten. Let's start with
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Doug Peterson earlier today. A fast start was not the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: case last week in the wild card playoff game. It
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: would be key and very much welcomed against the Chiefs.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: You always try to go into every game and try
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: to start fast. Um hasn't been that way, probably going
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: back to the Houston game, probably the when we got
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: off to a quick start there. But yeah, you want
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: to do that, and um, games like this, uh, everything's
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: on the line. You want to you know, you don't
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: want to get behind, especially against you know, good teams. Um,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: it's just not a recipe for success. Trevor Lawrence earlier
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: this week was asked about the noise and Arrowheads Stadium,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and of course it was taken out of context nationally,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: It's being flashed all over national media outlets over the
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: last day or so. Here's the full answer from the
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Jaguars quarterback about the noise. Obviously, the environment and atmosphere
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: we're going to play in is one of, if not
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the best, in the NFL. I mean, I can't imagine
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: it will be much louder than our fans were here
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: on Saturday, honestly, but that was when we were on defense,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: not often so we played there earlier in the year,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: but this is a little bit different. You know, it's
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: a playoff game, divisional round. Um, so the stakes are higher,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: so I expect them to be even crazier and more
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: packed stadium. But um, I mean at the end of
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the day, you just gotta you gotta go play, and
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: you gotta make sure you communicate. That's the one thing
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: we gotta get in and out the huddle. We gotta
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: get the line of scrimmage so we have time to communicate,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: because everything naturally takes a little longer when it's loud.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: So everybody takes one little piece out of that answer
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and flashes it all over ESPN and everywhere else, all
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the press conferences, in locker room availability on Jaguars dot com.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: More with Doug Peterson of course at five o'clock on
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the Doug Peterson Show, and the Doval Divisional launch party
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: has been announced. It's Saturday, of course, at Daily's Place,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: presented by Vera and Vera and Patron Tequila. The lot
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: open at three o'clock. Gate one opens at three thirty.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: The game kicks off at four thirty. Reserve your free
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: seats at Jaguars dot com. Also tomorrow morning a send
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: off nine thirty to eleven thirty on the west side
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: of the stadium. You can send the Jaguars on their
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: way to Kansas City. Come out early tomorrow. We welcome
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: in Jeff Lagerman and Jaguars Tight end, Chris Man hurts here.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: We are still playing football, Chris, How are you? I'm
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: doing well? How are you great? We're still playing football.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: So all's well in the building these days. And it
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: we'll get to this Chiefs game coming up. But I mean,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: come on, twenty seven down in the first half, five giveaways,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: four of those on offense. Uh, and you won the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: game that that has never happened in NFL history, the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: minus five turnover deal, third largest comeback ever. We've seen
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the sounds of the game, some of the stuff behind it,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: but you're in the midst of this thing. At what
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: point did you think that this could really happen? I mean,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: to be honest with you. Um, obviously not the most
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: ideal way to start a game in the first half.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: But I have to credit Trevor, I have to credit everybody,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: the coaching staff, all the players on this team. Uh,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: everybody was poised throughout it all, um, And and that
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: just speaks to the resolve that we have on this team,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the leadership that we haven't on this team, and just
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: knowing that the game isn't over until you know, the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: clock says zero zero. Yeah, there was I think a
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: lot of people probably counting you guys out at halftime
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: even though you gotta score, which was critical. Defense comes out,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: gets to stop you guys, take it down and score
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and then score on the ensuing four possessions. I mean, what,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: what a what an amazing game, and just so many
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: different levels of excitement for you guys throughout this game.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: At what point did you feel like there's no way
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: we're gonna lose, you know what. To be honest with you,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I can't think of a particular moment. All I could
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: recall is just the momentum that we had, especially like
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you said that, uh, the last touchdown and a half
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: by Evan. Uh. We went into the half knowing and
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the message throughout the whole locker room was just just
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: keep plugging, take things one play at a time, and
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you know, do the things that we could control. And ultimately,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: you know, we did that and we ran away with
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: a victory. There was a big key play there towards
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: the end fourth and one, yeah, and he called time
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: out because you guys didn't like the look that you
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: had previously. You end up having the coaches talk about
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: it with Trevor on the sideline. You come back out
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: there and you're lined up in the backfield and three
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: three back set kind of like the old wing T right,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I mean the T formation. Take us through the play, Chris,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I mean everything about that play in formation. I guess
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: from a defensive perspective, they were probably thinking that, uh,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: you know, we was going to do some type of
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: QB sneak or you know, shooting the inside gaps. But um,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: we were that was the plan. But you know, um
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: E t N just saw an opportunity to take it
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: on the edge and use his great God given ability
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: and hitting the edge around with speed and and just
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: making a very instinctive play again you know. Um that's
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: that's one of those things that I've I've been saying
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: from Jump Street about him. You know, once he puts
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: his foot in the ground and hits it, you know
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: he's rolling. Yeah, a lot of people are thinking, okay,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: that Trevor is gonna run the sneak and then you
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and Ferrell, the tight ends in the backfield would help
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: push as well as Travis help push. You put a
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: guy on his rear end, are you're hitting me? But
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: but if you go back and you look at the formation,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and I remember looking at it and I went, Travis
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: is just a slight hair behind the two tight ends,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: and I said, I think they're gonna And then the
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: ball was snapped and then sure enough, there goes Travis
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: from the outside. Because it's hard to see that when
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you're a defensive player, but up from up in the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: booth where I was at, you could see that Travis
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: was just a hair behind you. Guys to allow him
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: the clearance to be able to get around. You get
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: a great block on the outside on Kyle van Noy
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and crush him. And then you know that Zay Jones
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: right on the outside of you ends up cracking on
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the safety and does a great job, which is amazing.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Wide receivers blocking like your guys do. I mean, just
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: total team effort overall. Yeah, and it takes everybody, you know,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: beyond the tight ends, beyond the old line. Like you said,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the wide receivers play a big part in our run
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: game as well, and I'm just glad that everyone executed
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: their job at a high level. All right, So it's
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: fourth and one at that moment, you're at the forty one.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is do or die, So you guys
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: get the play call after the time out well, you
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: know what's going through the huddle at that moment. You know,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: at that point, you know, I could recall in the huddle,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: you know, Trevor looking all of us in the eyes
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: and saying, guys, this is the season right here. You know,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: let's go get this thing. And uh, you know that
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: was just enough for us to to go out there,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: bow up and you know, just make a play. And
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I'm just glad that it happened the way that it did.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: You've been around the league for a number of years,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Travis E t n It's only a second year, first
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: year playing, and he has the awareness to not go
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: out of bounds. I mean, that's I mean, I don't
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: know if he was coached up before the play or
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: or what, but I mean, I mean, you're talking about
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: being fundamentally sound. I thought that was a perfect display
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: of awareness by Travis. Yeah, having the presence of mind
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: to do that in that particular situation in the game.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Hats off to Travis. But I also have to give
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of credit to our coaches because they put
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: us through various scenarios throughout the week. Um in every situation,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: situational football play, or situation in the game, that might
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: come up, so we we get draw those things on
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a weekly basis, and um, you know, at that point
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: for him, it was probably second nature. All right. I
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: want to take you back to one other play because, uh,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: it was the two point conversion. Okay, and you know
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Evan Ingrand's assignment on the play. Okay, you're a tight end.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: You might get called, you know, out to maybe do
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: that at some point, maybe maybe not. Okay, when Trevor
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: and you guys are aware of what the play call
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: is on the sideline, When you saw Trevor take the
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: snap and then do the old superman across the goal line,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: what was your thought process? My thought process was a
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: quick oh no, oh, yes, you know, it was one
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: of those things. But like I said, great instincts by Trevor.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: You know, he made the play and I'm glad that
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: he got in there, and uh, you know, didn't nothing
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: unfortunate happened to let people know. When I was watching
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the play and I saw him dive, I was like,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: something didn't look right because you got too offensive linemen.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: You got Sheriff and Fortner that are pass blocking. And
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: then after the fact, you go back, you watch the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: film and you see that there's clearly a little design
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: play on the left side of Evan Engraham. Then Trevor's
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: diving through two guys pass blocking. I was going, oh
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: my gosh, he just did that and he saw an opportunity.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: And I can't fault them for it because we sore,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: you know, So I'm just glad it all worked out,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: but me too, all of us. But that play, I mean,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: it took all the pressure on the Chargers. I mean
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: you're talking about puckering up. I mean, you guys get
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: that two point conversion. Now all of a sudden, Phil
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Goald wins it. I mean that just I mean puts
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: even more pressure on the Chargers. And that was when
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I when I saw that play happened, that was the
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: moment for me and I said, this team is not
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: gonna lose. There's no way, right and that and that
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: was our mentality. Like I said, throughout the whole even
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to call what transpired in the first half,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: we we just have an unmatched um what I would
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: call just just will um and positivity throughout the whole situation,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: whether that be people on the sideline, players, defensive players
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: coming up to Trevor giving him him that assurance, that
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: confidence that that we have his back. So um, it
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: was just great to be a part of J P.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Shatrick with Jeff Flagman and Chris Mann hurts us Jaguar
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: is happy hour less. Moving ahead now to Kansas City,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: a place you guys know from back in week ten.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: We just heard Trevor Lawrence talking about the noise in
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the place, and he's getting called out by a bunch
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: of national media types taking that one little bite about
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: it's not as you know, Jacksonville is as loud, but
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: it's loud. It's noisy there. That's what it is, Chris, right.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I mean it's the loudest place in football. How do
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: you guys handle that environment? I mean I could confidently
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: say we've been there before. We played them, uh this
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: season at some point, so we know exactly uh what
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: we're in for, what we're going up against, the type
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: of team that we're going up again. So I'm just
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: glad that at least we've played them before and guys
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: are now more acclimated to that type of environment. You
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: guys are practicing all week long with the noise. Okay,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: that's what let people know. One way that you kind
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: of get yourself ready is to try to simulate the
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: environment you're going into and in practice today and yesterday,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: you guys are piping in this loud, white noise. It's
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: just I mean, it's like it sounds just like something
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: from Dumb and Dumber, but it's I mean, it's so
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: loud you can't even talk. And uh, if there is
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: ever a way to practice something, at least getting the
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: practice and that kind of environment's gotta help. It only helps.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: And we know it's gonna be loud. Um, So coach
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: does a great job and trying to put us in
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: situations where obviously we're uncomfortable in practice, but once the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: game comes around, it's almost feels like second nature. Did
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: you see the forecast, Possibly a little bit better than rain.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: No big deal, you know. Um, I feel like, uh,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: environments like that or distractions like that will only be
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: a big deal if you make them. So we those
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: are things we can't control. But um, we're we're just
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: excited to go out there and just play some ball.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Keep playing football, that's the whole goal. Let's move ahead
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: now to the Chiefs defense. You've seen him once this year.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: It starts up front and it starts with the big
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: guy in the middle. Chris Jones, what stands out about
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the veteran defensive lineman. I mean, the guy's a disrupted
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: to be honest, He's he's good in UM both phases
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: run and pass uh, and he's he's long, he's strong, UM,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: and he has a great motor for being a big guy.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: So I know, UH, particularly as a tight end, I
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: might not see him from a matchup standpoint, but I
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: know that guys on the inside UM definitely have their
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: their their work cut up. Douglas talking this week, logs
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: about you gotta have four hands of this guy, and
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: sometimes that may not even be enough, right Chris, Yeah,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: for sure, he's a he's a good player. I take
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: my hat off to him. But at the same time,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I'm fully confident in our line and what we're capable
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: of and what we've been shown we're able to do.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: So it should be a fun matchup. Going back to
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: watching the previous matchup, he was a force in that game,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: and in the last three games, I think he's had
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: four and a half sacks to close the season out.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, this guy's gotten hot. There's not many defensive
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: tackles in the league that ever ever get fifteen and
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: a half sacks. I mean, this is a rarity. This
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: guy is a rare blend of of power, size, length, speed.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: He's got it all and you know, and like like
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: you said, by the way, you got four hands on you, Yeah,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: I got, I got enough, I got Okay, Yeah, he's
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: pretty good now now, But he's not the only guy. Okay.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: The Chiefs have really fast flow linebackers. Okay, Bolton and Gay.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I believe their names are inside and will linebacker. Really
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: good players, but also on the edge. And that you're
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: gonna be facing Frank Clark, who uh didn't play the
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: last game. I don't think against you guys. I think
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: he was inactive. And then Carlo's Dunlap And these guys
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: are kind of two different types of players, aren't they
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: for you? And I know you may have to block
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: both of these guys. And when you kind of approach
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: these guys, it's a little different approach, isn't it. Yeah,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: it is a little bit bit different, especially a guy
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: like done Lap. He's been around for a while. Uh,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: he's a longer, longer guy, taller guy. Um, but he's
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: he's a savvy vet you know, he's he's he's decent
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: in the run game as well. He's he wants to
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: pass rush to pass it. So, uh, we definitely have
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: to have a plan for those guys. And more than anything,
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I'm just excited too, you know, for the matchups altogether,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: whether it's my matchups, whether it's for the inside with
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: the old lineman in Chris Jones. So it's just an
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: exciting time. It certainly is, uh, confidence of sky high
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: in that locker room. Just walking through the last few days,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: it feels like and rightly, so you guys are on
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: a roll right now, so um got to carry that over.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: And and you're the enemy this week on the road
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Arrowhead playoff game. But that brings you guys closer together,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: it could right, definitely will um And like I said,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: we've been here before. You know, it's not the first
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: situation or adverse situation we've been in over the course
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: of the season. So uh, you know, the guys will
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: be ready. The last couple of weeks we talked about
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: that long wait Saturday night, right that kick. Nice to
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: have a four thirty kick this week. I like that
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah me too. Get a good breakfast in
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: maybe it'll workout. I mean for me not, you know, okay,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: and then for you guys, you get to have a
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: nice breakfast, sleep in a little bit more. I mean
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: as a player, that was probably my favorite kickoff time
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: was the four o'clock kicks, just because you never felt
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: rushed in the morning. And it's it's it's a happy
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: medium in between, you know, the early game, the one
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: o'clock game, and the primetime eight o'clock game. So, um,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: for me, I just want to wake up and play ball.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: That's That's the way I'm worried. That's the way I operate.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: And once I wake up on game game day, I'm
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: just I'm just wide and ready to go. I gotta
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: get your thoughts on on one guy in particular, because
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I know you're not going against him, but as a
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: tight end, you've got to. I'm sure appreciate what Travis Kelsey.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: He is doing in Kansas City. Just completed his seventh
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: thousand yard receiving season. He's a dominant player. Um, and
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you probably watched him on film many times
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: just to watch and appreciate the player he is. Yeah,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: He's one of those guys that changed the tight end
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: position and and the way it's viewed. And I know
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: him personally him. I've been a part of the tight
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: end you tuned University UM summit these past two years
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: and got got a chance to talk to him, be
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: around him, and you know, there's a reason why he's
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: he's been able to do what he's been able to
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: do for so long just from a technique standpoint, his
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: knowledge of the game, and it's just a credit to
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: the work he's put in. And um, definitely one of
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: those guys that you know, he'll probably end up being
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: one of the better tight ends this game has ever seen.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean his numbers are right on part
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: with what you're talking about. I mean, it's just incredible.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: It's like the fastest tight end ever. The ten thousand
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: yards receiving seven consecutive thousand yards receivings has never been
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: done before. And he doesn't look like he's slowing down, No,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: not at all. That's the scary part. Yeah, yeah, hopefully
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: slows down Saturday. Let's start Saturday with that. Locks Um. Hey,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: good luck to you, safe travels, bring back another w
• 17:53

• 18:32
  Speaker 1: to oh in the postseason. So you know, that's a
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: start not where he obviously or or myself where we
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: need to be or want to be, but it's a
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: start in the right direction, you know, just much like
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: this season has been for us, and um, you just
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: want to be at the end of it each year.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: You want to be in the conversation, You want to

  Speaker 1: have those meaningful games. You want to be playing for
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: the a f C South and giving yourself an opportunity
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: get in the postseason. And then you gotta win post
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: season games and that is a measure of you know, quarterbacks,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: I think in the league. But ultimately, you know, you
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: have to win the you have to win the championship
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: to to really, you know, take that next step, I

• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I know, he's He's very insightful and I appreciate him
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: because I like I like watching him play. He's an
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: excellent blocker, excellent blocking tight end. I'm disappointed though that
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: he didn't get one more ball thrown his way this year.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: The year's not over, no, I know, but I mean
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: for a personal season high, he would have had to
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: have had it in the Tennessee game and he just
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: needed one more per career guests that he would give
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: that up for a playoff time, A key is perfectly
• 20:01

• 20:53
  Speaker 1: be fun. It's a great way for the fans to
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: kind of be a part of it. I remember going
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: back to when we beat Buffalo and we came back
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and we landed, and at that time we would take
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: the buses as players to and from the airport, and
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: so as we're leaving the airport to come back to
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: the stadium, the airport road was literally lined with people
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: and trucks and cars and people celebrating and they just
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: had to have some way of just showing their support
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: and energy towards the victory that we got in Buffalo,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: and it was incredible. And then the following week was
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: when they encourage people to go to the stadium instead
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: of the airport. Saw that again. Of course after the
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: game in Pittsburgh, everybody came down for that. Um, you
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: know those things as a player, I mean when you
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: when you see that excitement, it's just it's cool, you know,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: it's it's uh, it takes you back a little bit too.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say high school, but the college,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: you know, where people are fired up, and you know
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: in the city is alive right now with with Jaguar's fever,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: and that's awesome. I was gonna say, how many other
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: cities in the league would do do that kind of thing?
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: You know, It's not there might be some well I'm sure,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I'm sure some of them do it, but you know,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: the realities. Look at it's winning has been kind of
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: hard to find around here, so you know, the fan
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: base is really enjoying it as they should. And I
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: was talking to I did an interview with Bob Popa
• 22:19

• 22:32
  Speaker 1: and then flies up to New York or wherever to
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: do the Giants games. And and he was telling me
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: the story that he was coming back from the Giants
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: game and he landed in Jacksonville and he said, as
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: soon as hit the ground and uh, they turned off
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: the fastened seatbelts. And he said, they had a guy
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: stand up on the plane and just go dual. And
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: he said, as soon as he said it, he said,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: the entire plane just echoes the duval chant. And he
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: said it was in doable. But that's I mean, that's
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: where the city is at right now. It's it's it's
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: boiling over and teal and it's fantastic Jaguar gear everywhere
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: you go, the grocery store, public s where shopping is
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: a pleasure, to the watering hole, to the restaurants. I mean,

• 23:27
  Speaker 1: so it's it's cool, man. It takes me back to

• 23:33
  Speaker 1: days and happy times for Jaguar fans. Let's come back

• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Hour and the Jaguars Digital Network. There's more things that
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: pull you away from your job. You know, what you're
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: what you're focused on, and um, yeah, I think it
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: can be a little bit more of a distraction, especially
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: going on the road. But you know, for me, it's
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: about keeping everybody together, you know, at the hotel and
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the meetings and how we do things and handle things.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: But I also want the guys to enjoy these times too.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: These are they don't come around very often, and anytime
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: you get a chance to play in the postseason, um,
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: it's a great accomplishment for your for your guys, So
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: I do want them to to also enjoy uh these opportunities.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Doug Peterson of course, Jaguars head coach, on the opportunity
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: ahead of this Jaguars team at Arrowhead this week, a
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: road playoff game and welcome back gets Jaguars happy. Our
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: j P Shadrick with Jeff Logaman, I think that Chris
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Man hurts Jaguars tied end. Joining this to the opening segment.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Five o'clock today is the Doug Peterson Show. Well here
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: from the Jaguars head coach and get his final thoughts
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: ahead of the a f C Divisional playoff game. Well,
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes has eight playoff wins in his career. The
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars as an organization have eight in their history.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: So Patrick Mahomes gets Trevor Lawrence, who's playing in his
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: second career playoff game. They won't face off against each other, obviously,
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: that's the quarterback matchup and two of the eight quarterbacks
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Now that they're all twenty nine years
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: or younger, it feels like Patrick Mahomes has been around
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: forever already. He's twenty seven years old, right, They're gonna
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: be around for a long time. And boy, what this is? Um,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: they've seen Mahomes before. I think that at least you've
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: seen it in person. Doesn't mean it's any easier to
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: defend from week ten, but here he is again. Yeah,
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: and it's not gonna be easier. Andy Reid's had a
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: bye week to be able to add him. Maybe a
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: little wrinkler two to his offense about Andy Reid's twenty
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: seven and four coming off a bye week in his career, Well,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: this is not really a bye week, is it. Yeah,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to the playoff by So look, he's got
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: four losses. Okay, let's let's make it a good even
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: total number. And you don't put that at five and
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: so then twenty seven and five would be nice, It
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: would be nice. Now, he's a great coach. He's a
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: great coach, and he's an innovator on offense. And yes,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: I know that he has an offensive coordinator that calls plays.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: But Andy is instrumental in the play design and the
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: calling as well. And I don't know if there's a
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: better offensive coach in the league. I mean, he truly
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: is innovative. I mean he comes up with stuff that
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: you go wow. And I think against the Raiders they
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: had something new, this circular merry go round huddle thingy
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: that they did against the Raiders and call him off
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: guard a little bit. Yeah, in the red zone especially,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: he'll get creative with this kind of stuff with a
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: pre snap and the motions and and everything that comes
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: with that. But but but here, here's the basis. Okay,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: the basis is is that Andy Reid has Patrick Mahomes.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: You can do a lot more of that stuff when
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: you have fifteen throwing it around, when you have the
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: number one rated quarterback, the guy that can throw it
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: from any angle any way you want, got touch velocity.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, he's athletic and mobile and
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: does a lot of creative things on his own by
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: extending the play with his legs. I mean, he's he's
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: he's a handful. So ask me JP, how are the
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Jaguars gonna stop him? Hey, Jeff flagman, How will the
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Jaguars stop Patrick Mahomes. So here's what you gotta do. Okay,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: first and foremost, you have to be fundamentally sound, So
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: you have to make sure that your entire defense is
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: on the same page. You can't have breakdowns like you
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: did in week ten, okay, where you had Travis Kelsey
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: running with the nearest defender about fifteen yards away. You
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: can't have that. You have to be assignment clean. You
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: have to be I'm not saying you don't. You don't
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: have to be perfect with from an execution standpoint, but
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: you have to make them earn everything. You have to tackle. Well,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: they're gonna make plays, and that's okay, but if you
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: minimize the damage that the plays have, then you're better
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: served lighting up again and making them earn another down.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: And that's what you have to do. And then also
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: you have to find a way to pressure Patrick Mahomes.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: And how are you do that. Whether you do it
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: with a four man rush, whether you do it with
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: a five man rush, whether you do it with a
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: zone dog, whether you do it whether they cover zero blitz,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: however you do it, you've got to find a way
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: to make him uncomfortable, but you can't allow him to
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: run around wild because he will make you pay. The
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: one difference I think from last year to this year
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: with him, he doesn't have the greatest deep threat in
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: the league anymore. With Tyreek Hill. That's impacted him in
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: in a big way. And I think it's in impacted
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: his numbers. And I know you've got some numbers that
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: you can share with Patrick Mahomes without being pressured. Patrick
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Mahomes being under pressure. You know, in the past he's
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: actually been better against Blitz than he was just standing
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: there and that's when he had is weird right, Well,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: this year he passerrating without pressure is a hundred nine
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: team pretty good, really good. That's that's that would be
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: number one in the league. His passerrating with pressure in
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: regular season fifty seven point seven. That's a sixty one
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: point decline. That's a losing number. It's the third largest
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: decline in the NFL this year, behind Kyler Murray and
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. And those numbers. Just so that we can
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: make sure that we're being open and honestly, they don't
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: explain exactly what pressure means. Doesn't mean that they've got
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: somebody that beat somebody in one on one pass rush
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: or is that a five man pressure or greater if
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: they don't really clarify that, but we get the point.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: The point is is that if you can get Patrick
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Mahomes off the spot, you've got an opportunity to be
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: able to have an impact in the ball game. But
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: so if your assignment clean, you tackle well, you make
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: sure you have no open guys running down the field,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: You've got a chance if you make them earn everything
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: that they can get. You know that that one thing
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: you just mentioned, guys running open down the field, it
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: felt like that happened a lot in Week ten guys wide.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: It did if you If you'll remember, you had Travis
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Kelsey running across the route. There was nobody anywhere near him,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: and then he had a across the field formation and
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: it was um the newly acquired wide receiver. Yeah, could
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: could Darius Tony on a little swing route? There was
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: nobody on literally anywhere within twenty yards of him. I
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: think there was at that point. I remember a stat
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: he I think he was the most open receiver in
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: the league that through Week ten, and that's when he
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: hopped down the It wasn't like he was town feeling.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: So you can't have those plays, okay, and uh so
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: that's why I mean, you gotta be assignment clean. But here,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: here's the other thing the defense can do. Root for
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: the offense when they have the ball, told to hope
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: that they and route them on and putting some plays together,
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: putting drives together, putting plays together, so it keeps Patrick
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Mahomes on the sideline and then you want to score
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: touchdowns on the end of those sustained drives. Jackson had
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: plenty of defensive changes since week ten as well. They
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: were still trying to figure out the secondary little bit
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Devin Lloyd in that game, how is it different? De
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Lloyd was lost in that game, Well, how's it different now?
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: For this defense? Got Darius Williams is now outside and
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: they got they kind of flip flop that corner in
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: the nickel position. As far as the responsibility they uh,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: I think he started to get better performance out of
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Devon Lloyd. Muma has been playing a little bit more
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: and actually he's been doing pretty good lately. So and
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: actually both of them had been doing a better job.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: So you've you've improved from that aspect and you've got
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: to continue to improve. And I think also now you're
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: starting to get some consistent pass rush, especially lately. Trayvon
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: Walker I thought had a good game against the Chargers.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Thought Josh was solid again. Josh has been playing really
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: well the last you know, four or five, six weeks,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: maybe somewhere in that rain. So you've got to continue
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: to get that. I think arden Key has been key.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: I mean about to use the same last name, but
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: but he was good now this past game. You know,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: he didn't have the numbers to back it up, but
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: he was just so disruptive and he created opportunities for
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: other guys, And that's what you want to have. Somebody's
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: got to be that guy. And I think arden Key
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: has been has been really good. Big Roy was outstanding
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: last week, the tackle for losses. You know, he's been
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: really good the last couple of weeks. So those kind
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: of performances need to happen again against the Chiefs. And
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: and here's why. It's Patrick Mahomes. Yes, but it's not
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: just Patrick Mahomes. Look, they got a really good offense
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: with really good talent. How do you slow down Kelsey keywords?
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Slow down? Yeah, because you're not gonna stop him, and
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have to double him, and you're gonna have
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: to lean a safety his way, which means you're gonna
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: take some attention away from another aspect of your coverage.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: But that's what you have to do because he's that good.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: And uh, you know you you hope that Cisco and
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: ray Sean those guys will see plenty of Travis Kelsey.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: The linebackers will see plenty of Kelsey. They just got
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: to do a good job. And when you're playing zone
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: and Kelsey is going from one zone to the other,
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: you have to anticipate and match him in your own
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: and that's not easy to do because Kelsey. Look, he
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: is who he is for a reason. Okay, he puts
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: season after season together. He's really good and it's gonna
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: be a challenge to stop him. If you're looking for
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: the m v P of the truck game, then look
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: no further than Ford F one fifty. Loaded with impressive
• 34:09

• 37:37
  Speaker 1: change the mojo. So folks, listen to me. Now, If
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: you wore a pair of certain underwear last week on Saturday,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: were the same thing again this Saturday? If you got
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: a certain favorite Jaguar shirt. Wear that Jaguar shirt again. Okay,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: we gotta we cannot break mojo. And I'm not talking
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: about Maurice. Maurice. Yeah, he was on drivetime this week.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: But I saw that. I saw that, all right. Hey, Um,
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence had the worst, well, he had
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: the worst performance arguably in Jaguars history in the first half,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: and then followed it up with one of the best
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: performances in Jaguars history in the second half, and really
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: at the end of the first half of that final drive.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: It's all in one game together. And I don't I
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: don't think I've seen anything like this before. Yea. And
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: if if I broke the numbers down a little differently,
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: those are first half, second half. If you break it
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: down after the fourth interception, he was thirty one for
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: two forty one yards and four touchdowns before the before
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: the last interception, or from the beginning of the game
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: until that fourth interception, he was four of sixteen for
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: thirty yards and four interceptions, so only thirty yards passing
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: up until that pointing through that fourth pick. I mean,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: it was a struggle and two of them were on him.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: One of them was a tip, one of them probably
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: a wide receiver, and uh and then of course, uh,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: the one that's not credited to him, which obviously had
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with him, the muff punt that happens
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: to land right on Chris Claybrooks help clay Brooks helmet,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: and the Chargers were able to recover and have great
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: field position. I mean it was at that point it
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: was like, can anything go right? That was? That was
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: the one You were just like, oh no. And I
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: was sitting there at JP, I was going, nobody's ever won, right,
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: And I didn't know that, but I was sitting there
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: saying to myself, nobody has ever won with a turnover
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: differential of minus five. So this team's got to find
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: a way to get back in it with takeaway and
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: the fact that they wanted without getting a takeaway and
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: scoring on every possession. I mean, it's five straight scoring possession.
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's unheard on. It's the perfect game.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: The second it was awesome. I mean, I get home,
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: I know you were. I was listening to you on
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: the drive home and you signed off the air before
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: I got home. I mean, oh, Okay, we're all texting
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: it like to to thirty pancakes up late at three.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: I got a te killer too at to thirty or
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: so in the morning and just just wired, you know,
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: likes going through all the videos on Twitter and stuff.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: It was awesome. Man, was the pancakes, Joey, We're delicious.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: You know. It's funny though. Um, about three o'clock on
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: NFL Network, they showed the game. So my wife and
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: I were still up, we're watching, but it was twenty
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: seven nothing, so we went to bed and turned it off.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: They're never gonna come back, unbelie Alright, So moving it
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: ahead now. He spread the wealth on those touchdowns. Four
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: different players caught touchdown passes in the game last week.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: That's kind of been the story of the season. They
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: spread things out. If it's one guy in a week,
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: it could be another guy that stands out the next week.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: It took all hands on deck last week to get
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: it done. So what's the what's the matchup that you
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: you like this? Well, let me let me first go
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: to those touchdowns, because I think there was something that
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: was unique for every one of the touchdowns that were scored.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: And we gotta start with Evans, which was the first
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: one before the half. What a great route that he
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: had on that because he runs up the field and
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: then he breaks a sharp end route towards the back
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: or to freeze him. While that is going on, He's
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: got two wide receivers running in and then pulling the
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: safeties away so that Evan can break that end route
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: and go vertical, and so you're trying to keep the
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: safeties away as much as possible. So I mean, a
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: great job by Trevor, great route by Evan Ingram. The
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: next touchdown, Marvin Jones, that one right there that we're seeing.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: You want to talk about pulling a cornerback way inside
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: a Sante Samuel almost got and hit his head on
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: the goal post because a great head fake by Marvin
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: there had him falling down to the ground the inside.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: And then the thirty nine yards a that was a
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: great check by Trevor. He saw something in the coverage
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: check to this play and God's behind mind Derwin James
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: on that left side, and you needed a chunk play
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: score somewhere in the second half to make all of
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: this possible, and bam z Jones for thirty nine yards
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: and then the one to Christian Kirk for nine yards. Okay,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: you want to talk about boxing a guy out, Christian
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: Kirk literally slows down a little bit. Has First of all,
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: he's got a great route, gets good separation, but then
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: he uses his body to kind of shield the defender
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: away from making a play on the ball. He said,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: he slows down a little bit there, slows down just
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: enough to make sure that the defender can't go through.
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: And then if the defender does hit him, he would
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: get an interference call and get first and goal at
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: the one. I mean, so all of these plays were
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: just tremendous, and of course Trevor making it up as
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: he goes with the Leaf being superman quarterback, sneak on
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: the two point conversion and then on the drive the
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: fourth and one. I mean, there's so many great plays
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: and great efforts and great individual plays to speak of,
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: and it was it was a game for the ages,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: There's no doubt. All right, let's move it ahead and
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: out of Kansas City. Week ten at Arrowhead, Christian Kirk
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: at twelve targets, nine catches, one oh five through the
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: year and two touchdowns leading the way. Um, can you
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: expect that again? What's the what's the matchup this Yes,
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: I think I think I think he will have an
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: opportunity at another big game because Kansas City likes to
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: play aggressive. Okay, Spags Bagnola, the defensive coordinator likes to
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: play man likes to be aggressive. And I don't think
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: Kim's City has anybody that can cover them. I don't,
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: especially if you don't get hands on him quick. They
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: didn't cover them last time. So what are they gonna
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: do this time? I don't know. I think they're gonna
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: maybe mix it up a little bit. Maybe, I don't know,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: but I think Christian is gonna be a guy that
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: you can go to. I think Evan is going to
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: have his handful with those two linebackers. They're pretty good
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: and uh, but I think Christian's gonna be able to
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: have a have a good day. I think Zay will
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: have some opportunities as well. You just want the offense
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: to stay aggressive and have balance as well, because every
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: offense has a great opportunity to putt a lot of
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: points on the board when you got balanced, if you
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: got balanced on a running game, to go with a
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: great performance by your quarterback. You know, because I think
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have to score thirty plus, you know, against
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: his Chief's team to be able to win it. Because look,
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: there are the number one scoring team in the National
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Football League. They're the number one offense in the National
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Football League. They're the number one passing offense I believe
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: in the National Football League. I mean, they're all of
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: that and more. So you gotta be ready. It is
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: time now for the injury report, presented by Baptist Health
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: and the Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute, the official sports medicine provider
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: of the Jacksonville Jaguars. We have breaking news. The game
• 44:41

• 44:54
  Speaker 1: played a long time either. He's out. Yeah, he didn't
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: play the last time against the Jaguars. He's been out
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: like almost the entire season. He's out of this game.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: That's all we care. I mean, it's like, I hope
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: he's okay and he gets healthy. But yeah, three other
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: guys on the list this week, Frank Clark defensive in

• 45:26
  Speaker 1: games like they have been the last two correct Kendrick
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Prior the shoulder issue, Trevor Lawrence with the toe of course,
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: Jamal Agne with the shoulder issue, Ross Madison with a
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: back issue, Random Sheriff of the abdomen, and Luke Fortner
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: with a back issue. Is on the list this week
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: for the first time. Limited all week, but questionable for
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: the game. Those are the status ees, and you can
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: expect most of those guys, if not all, to suit
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: up and play. You hope, you hope. I mean, it's
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars football football man. Yeah, you're you're gonna make
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: it happen. I mean, if you're banged up in little bit,
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be banged up for a little bit. It's
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: just kind of nature of the business. But this team
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: has been pretty healthy all year, pretty pretty fortunate to
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: have the health level that they've had. And I know
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: that there's been significant losses with Smooth and Cam Robinson
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: and Ben Bartch and and those hurt. I get that.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: But uh, you know, if you compared the Jaguars too
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of other teams as far as number of
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: games lost with starters this year, uh, I mean, it
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: would probably pale in comparison to some of the teams
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: that they've played recently, especially Tennessee. I mean, the Jaguars
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: used the fewest amount of players in the league this year,
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: sixty one players saw the field. And on the other side,
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: you mentioned Tennessee, they had the most eighty six players played. Yeah,
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: that's a that's a good a sign of good health,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a lot of luck involved, but
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: also a credit to the players for for getting their
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: bodies ready for the riggers. But again, that is a
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: lot of good fortune and luck. Staff put him out obviously,
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: all you know, the training staff, the strength conditioning staff.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, all of those people play a significant role
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: in players health and the ability of players availability. But uh,
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: and that's awesome, you know they they the one thing
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: that the Jaguars have right is the strength training, the rehab,
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: the training room and that right there has been I
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: mean perfect this year and then last year it was
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: it was pretty good too. Coming up tonight at Strings,
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: it's Jags All Access on Fox. Dirty what he got tonight? Um,
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen, I think we got some specialists tonight. Oh,
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: they always draw a crowd. I think I think I'm
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: not that. I think that's the case. I think we
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: got some specialist. I was gonna say you have the
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: specialist tonight, but I was gonna let you lead into
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: we got the game winners. All of them are there,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: Ross Madison, Logan Cooke, the Hunter and holder of course,
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: and Riley Patterson and the one who kicked it through
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: love it. Yeah. So what time seven o'clock, seven o'clock
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: at Strings? And and Brent Martineau, Oh yeah, I've heard
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: of him. Yeah, he's a big kind of a big deal,
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: big big deal. What do you want to hear from
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Doug Peterson coming up on his radio program moments from now?
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: I want to have a little flashback to the game,
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: you know, and and uh, we were just talking about
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: how we took a bit of time to kind of
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: wind down from the game, you know, and ask him
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: what it was like for him and uh, you know
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: the game, some of the play calling that he had
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: in that game and talk about the sneak or the
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: Superman thing. You know, how did that go? And what
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: did you think about that? I mean it's Look, there's
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of things also Kansas City, Andy Reid,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: that stuff. Man, I've gone back a long way. Great
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: storyline right there, you know, having Doug having played for
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: Andy Reid in UH with Philadelphia and and then coaching
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: with him before was his offensive coordinator in Kansas City
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: at UH. I think games like this, when you compete
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: against people you know, it makes it even more intense.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: They've done it once this year. Doug has not gotten
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: him yet oh for two against Andy Reid. And maybe
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: that'll change this week too. I hope it does. I
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: hope it does. Look look, the dog and his coaching
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: staff have been grinding all week. They're trying to put
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: the players in the best position that they can. What
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: will be interesting is what kind of wrinkles will be
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: will be shown in this game. Might Doug have a wrinkle,
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he usually does. Andy Reid might have a wrinkle,
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: I'm sure he has a handful of them, and could
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: some of them wrinkles originated from the other coach M
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: That would be kind of sticking it to a ring
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: around the huddle thing. But I don't know. Let's go
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: maybe opening kickoff on sidekick again, why not maybe and
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: do that again? Yeah, And here's the thing. JP you
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: think that that's like the last thing that they're gonna do, right,
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: if you're Kansas, there's no ever gonna do it. We're
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: gonna do it again. We're not worried about that. And
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: then do it all right, coming up the Doug Peterson
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: Show here from the head coach in just moments. Thank
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: you for listening to Jaguars Happy Hour on Jaguars Radio.
