0:21
Speaker 2: I mean we're about ten minutes away from head coach
0:24
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson inside the Hyundai Studio, inside the Miller Electric Center,
0:30
Speaker 2: the cocoon, inside the kacoon if you will. For Jaguars
0:34
Speaker 2: Radio and Jaguars Media. Good to see you, logs, good
0:36
Speaker 2: to good to be seen. Happy new Year, yeah, seas
0:40
Speaker 2: Happy football New Year? Yes that yeah, that time of
0:44
Speaker 2: year it is. Training camp is here. Jaguars are two
0:47
Speaker 2: practices in. They're on the field again Friday and Saturday.
0:50
Speaker 2: Day off Sunday, and then the first day in full
0:52
Speaker 2: pads is coming up Monday. That's when you'll see a
0:55
Speaker 2: lot of the big work in the trenches start to develop,
0:58
Speaker 2: and that that'll take a little time of its own.
1:00
Speaker 2: But hey, two days in Trevor Lawrence the offense, that's
1:04
Speaker 2: what a lot of eyes are turning to the first day,
1:07
Speaker 2: especially Calvin Ridley really showed up, showed out Day two.
1:11
Speaker 2: Some drops from some receivers, not as Chris but to
1:14
Speaker 2: be expected. But that first day out on Wednesday, Trevor
1:19
Speaker 2: Lawrence to Calvin Ridley, look out, Yeah, it was constant.
1:24
Speaker 2: It was exciting. And then watching what Calvin Ridley was
1:28
Speaker 2: doing kind of after the catch, a little bit of
1:30
Speaker 2: the movements that he had was fun to watch. He's different,
1:32
Speaker 2: you know. And then today the offense starts out. He
1:36
Speaker 2: got a one on one opportunity with Travis etn kind
1:39
Speaker 2: of on a little quick out out and go, and
1:42
Speaker 2: Josh Allen's trying to cover and that's what you call
1:44
Speaker 2: a mismatch, okay, And Trevor throws it in there perfectly
1:49
Speaker 2: to Travis and he's off to the races. I mean,
1:52
Speaker 2: those are the things that you love to see with
1:54
Speaker 2: this offense. And then you know, as a on the
1:57
Speaker 2: defensive side of things, you're like, hey, wait a minute, now,
2:00
Speaker 2: we don't want to see too much of that on
2:02
Speaker 2: the defensive side though. I mean, they're out there too,
2:05
Speaker 2: and there's not a lot of new personnel, at least
2:08
Speaker 2: frontline personnel. A lot of the guys that they've invested
2:11
Speaker 2: in the last couple of years draft equity, free agent dollars.
2:15
Speaker 2: They're counting on those guys to step up. And it's
2:18
Speaker 2: early in camp, but there's a lot of camp to go.
2:21
Speaker 2: I think on the defensive side of the ball, there's
2:23
Speaker 2: the obvious ones that you want to see take that
2:25
Speaker 2: next step, you know, from Muma to Devin Lloyd to
2:29
Speaker 2: Trayvon Walker. And then in the back end, you're hoping
2:33
Speaker 2: somebody can really rise up and show themselves as a
2:37
Speaker 2: viable third, maybe a fourth corner. And I think that
2:41
Speaker 2: the defensive coaches are going to get a little creative,
2:43
Speaker 2: maybe even with the safety position, to get more safeties
2:47
Speaker 2: on the field, maybe with the corner situation is what
2:50
Speaker 2: it is. But you want to see the development from
2:53
Speaker 2: within because right now that's really the only development and
2:56
Speaker 2: improvement that's going to happen is from within, because there
2:59
Speaker 2: is no help on the way at this point of
3:02
Speaker 2: the season. You are pretty much gonna be stuck with
3:05
Speaker 2: what you've got, which is not a bad thing. You
3:08
Speaker 2: can improve your team slightly, maybe with some other cast
3:11
Speaker 2: offs from teams as the cuts are made, or maybe trade,
3:16
Speaker 2: but this football team needs to improve, not only from
3:19
Speaker 2: a personnel standpoint, but I think the coaching staff is
3:22
Speaker 2: going to be able to take some great strides as
3:24
Speaker 2: well in their second year. Yeah, second year, there's only
3:26
Speaker 2: a couple of new faces on the coaching staff this year.
3:30
Speaker 2: Most of the guys stuck around. There was a very
3:32
Speaker 2: minor turnover. But yeah, they've got a baseline of what
3:36
Speaker 2: they put on tape last year. The base offense, let's
3:40
Speaker 2: start on that side of the ball, is in Trevor
3:42
Speaker 2: Lawrence and all the weapons, and the coaching staff and
3:45
Speaker 2: the play caller can build upon that. So it's a
3:50
Speaker 2: step in another direction for this offense to just build
3:54
Speaker 2: upon what they did a year ago. Well, and it's
3:57
Speaker 2: much like you know, if you're in college, you're in
4:00
Speaker 2: high school, you know, you start out with basic math,
4:03
Speaker 2: you work to algebra, and then it goes to calculus,
4:06
Speaker 2: et cetera. I mean, I was told there would be
4:08
Speaker 2: no math. Well, and just like you know, when you
4:11
Speaker 2: go to college, you have you know, one hundred level
4:13
Speaker 2: classes and they go up to five and six hundred
4:15
Speaker 2: and seven hundred level classes. You know, So you know,
4:17
Speaker 2: this offense and Trevor Lawrence are they're now advancing to
4:21
Speaker 2: these classes that are higher level, which allows them to
4:24
Speaker 2: learn more about some of the flexibilities of the offense.
4:28
Speaker 2: It gives them the ability to maybe change plays. It
4:31
Speaker 2: gives them the ability to maybe change some routes on
4:34
Speaker 2: a play in game. You know. So it's gonna put
4:38
Speaker 2: more pressure on defenses this year than it did last
4:42
Speaker 2: year because the quarterback will have that flexibility from Doug Peterson,
4:49
Speaker 2: Press Taylor and the offense as a whole. And I'm
4:53
Speaker 2: sure at some point may not come even this year,
4:56
Speaker 2: there'll be a point where Trevor just kind of runs
4:59
Speaker 2: it right. I mean he's not just maybe calling plays,
5:02
Speaker 2: but like a practice like out here, there's a point
5:05
Speaker 2: where Peyton was just like running things right well. And
5:08
Speaker 2: may not be there yet. In one of the areas
5:10
Speaker 2: I think you'll see significant improvement is no huddle, two
5:13
Speaker 2: minute drill. Okay, Now Trevor knows the offense, he knows
5:16
Speaker 2: the plays. He can probably call plays at the line
5:19
Speaker 2: of scrimmage without even thinking twice now compared to last year,
5:22
Speaker 2: whereas last year he's still trying to learn it. And
5:25
Speaker 2: so these things are kind of the natural progression if
5:29
Speaker 2: you have a smart quarterback. And Trevor is a smart
5:31
Speaker 2: young man and he's going to be able to make
5:33
Speaker 2: significant advances this year just because of his familiarity with
5:37
Speaker 2: the offense and the offseason work that he put in.
5:40
Speaker 2: And he's a dedicated player. You know, he works hard,
5:43
Speaker 2: and so I'm looking forward to watching that. But the
5:45
Speaker 2: improvement's going to come from that. But it's also going
5:47
Speaker 2: to become very apparent that the personnel on the offensive
5:51
Speaker 2: side of the ball has been improved. You've added draft
5:54
Speaker 2: picks that I think they are going to be immediate contributor.
5:56
Speaker 2: I think Anton Harris is going to be a starter
5:58
Speaker 2: right away, you know, making sure there's no injury there
6:01
Speaker 2: at right tackle. Tank Bigsby is going to be contributor
6:04
Speaker 2: right right away as a running back. And then you've
6:07
Speaker 2: got the tight end Breton Strange. I think it's going
6:10
Speaker 2: to be the number two tight end with his offense,
6:12
Speaker 2: Evan Ingram being the number one, but Strange is a
6:15
Speaker 2: great space blocker. I think Doug Peterson the offensive staff
6:19
Speaker 2: are going to have an absolute ball I know a
6:21
Speaker 2: lot of people aren't talking about him, but Brenton Strange
6:24
Speaker 2: has some abilities that are going to make this offense
6:28
Speaker 2: have a physical element to it, but a physical element
6:31
Speaker 2: to it while being in a spread formation, and that's
6:35
Speaker 2: that's going to be special, you know. And so now
6:37
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you've got three wide receivers that
6:40
Speaker 2: you love with Kirk and Zay Jones and Calvin Ridley.
6:43
Speaker 2: Christian Kirk is going to be I think more comfortable
6:47
Speaker 2: than ever because he can really play in that three
6:50
Speaker 2: wide receiver set in that slot position. So it's going
6:54
Speaker 2: to be fun to watch how these coaches have all
6:58
Speaker 2: these different components and are gonna end up working them
7:01
Speaker 2: in a game and how those game plans will look
7:04
Speaker 2: because they're gonna have some defensive coordinators only on their heels,
7:08
Speaker 2: not knowing exactly how they're gonna play the game. And
7:11
Speaker 2: coming up in just a little bit here on the
7:12
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson Show, we'll hear from Christian Kirk and get
7:15
Speaker 2: his thoughts on you know, there's one football, there's all
7:19
Speaker 2: these playmakers. What is the answer when they walk in
7:23
Speaker 2: every day. We'll get the answer of the answer coming
7:26
Speaker 2: up from a Christian Kirk. I caught up with him
7:29
Speaker 2: a little earlier this week. When we return, though, head
7:33
Speaker 2: coach Doug Peterson joining us in the Hyundai Studios for
7:35
Speaker 2: the first time in the twenty twenty three season. We
7:38
Speaker 2: are off and running in training camp at the Miller
7:41
Speaker 2: Electric Center as the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars
7:44
Speaker 2: Radio Network.
7:51
Speaker 1: Welcome Back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
7:56
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Doug Peterson Show from the Hyundai
7:59
Speaker 2: Studios at the Miller Electric Center.
8:01
Speaker 3: J P.
8:02
Speaker 2: Shadwick, Jeff Logoman, and Jaguars head coach Doug Peterson. Another
8:06
Speaker 2: training camp, different facility, but training camp all the same.
8:11
Speaker 2: Good to see you, coach.
8:11
Speaker 3: Hey, good to see you guys. Yeah, this is beautiful.
8:13
Speaker 3: We got a great studio right here. We're excited to
8:15
Speaker 3: be in this building, the Miller Electric Center. Been a
8:18
Speaker 3: lot of hard work, you know, behind the scenes obviously
8:21
Speaker 3: getting getting this building ready to go. But we're excited
8:23
Speaker 3: and players are excited and uh, training camps off and running.
8:27
Speaker 2: It's amazing how everything in this building just flows towards
8:32
Speaker 2: football and which is what it should be. I mean,
8:34
Speaker 2: it's amazing. I mean there's no amenity that you don't
8:37
Speaker 2: have for your football team right now exactly.
8:40
Speaker 3: And and I think I think one of the things
8:42
Speaker 3: that that I'm most appreciative of is is how well
8:45
Speaker 3: this building is laid out for the players, And uh,
8:48
Speaker 3: you know it's it's everything's on the first flour for them.
8:51
Speaker 3: You know, they can get to they can get to
8:52
Speaker 3: the classrooms, they can get to the team dining, they
8:54
Speaker 3: can get to the auditorium, the weight room, everything is
8:56
Speaker 3: right there. We're they're they're kind of centrally located in
8:59
Speaker 3: our building. And as you mentioned, there's there's every amenity
9:03
Speaker 3: that they want in this building. It free flows a
9:07
Speaker 3: lot of sunlight upstairs for the coaches, which is a
9:09
Speaker 3: good thing to have.
9:10
Speaker 4: And uh, we're just excited to be in it.
9:12
Speaker 2: You mean you didn't like the bat cave of the
9:14
Speaker 2: old that was that was rough.
9:16
Speaker 3: My My first few weeks over in the stadium was
9:18
Speaker 3: uh something to get used to, you know, not being
9:21
Speaker 3: able to have a window and looking outside. I just
9:23
Speaker 3: sat last week before camp started just watching it rain,
9:26
Speaker 3: you know, and uh, that's uh, you take things for granted.
9:29
Speaker 2: Sometimes the ramp up schedule early in training camp. This
9:33
Speaker 2: is the first week of that, so each day you
9:35
Speaker 2: can kind of build up towards it. How challenging is
9:38
Speaker 2: that for from a coaching perspective, you'll want to get
9:41
Speaker 2: them going faster, but the CBA has that in place
9:45
Speaker 2: for a reason. Full pads go on early next week.
9:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, you do things for a reason.
9:49
Speaker 3: And you know, guys just show up on you know,
9:53
Speaker 3: on on Tuesday and they report, but they're traveling from
9:55
Speaker 3: all over the country. They've they've been flying or driving,
9:57
Speaker 3: and you know some of the guys might have got
9:59
Speaker 3: here early. So I do appreciate the ramp in phase
10:02
Speaker 3: just a little bit. And then I can progress the
10:04
Speaker 3: practices from a from an hour and ten to an
10:06
Speaker 3: hour and thirty a couple of days and you know,
10:08
Speaker 3: tomorrow will be a day where we can put the
10:10
Speaker 3: spider or the shells, you know, underneath the jerseys tomorrow
10:13
Speaker 3: and still stay in helmets for a couple of days.
10:15
Speaker 4: But it's a progression.
10:17
Speaker 3: And you know, the conditioning after practice, just trying to
10:20
Speaker 3: get their football legs and trying to get them in
10:22
Speaker 3: shape the best we can from a football perspective. So
10:26
Speaker 3: you know, the acclimation, it's it's a little slow from
10:29
Speaker 3: a football side, but it's really good for them physically
10:33
Speaker 3: as we prepare for pads.
10:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love the acclamation period. I'm not just grumpy
10:37
Speaker 2: old ex player that said that they should go right
10:39
Speaker 2: into two days. I mean it's smart. I mean with
10:41
Speaker 2: today's athlete, especially the investment that you guys have in
10:45
Speaker 2: these football players where their bodies are essentially higher performance engines.
10:49
Speaker 2: I mean, it just makes sense.
10:50
Speaker 3: It does, it does, and being able to you know, utilize,
10:54
Speaker 3: you know, the two fields that we have in the
10:56
Speaker 3: classrooms and the meeting rooms all part of acclimate, getting
10:59
Speaker 3: them back acclimated of football in the meetings. But more importantly,
11:03
Speaker 3: we can continue each day to sort of introduce new things,
11:07
Speaker 3: ramp up a little bit again. It's all leading up,
11:09
Speaker 3: you know, to the first day of pads next week,
11:11
Speaker 3: and the guys appreciate that.
11:14
Speaker 2: One of the things that you can really analyze now,
11:17
Speaker 2: even though you're not in pads is that seven on
11:19
Speaker 2: seven aspect of football, which is the passing game. And
11:23
Speaker 2: first impressions that I saw was your quarterback looks a
11:26
Speaker 2: little bit bigger than what he finished last year at
11:29
Speaker 2: Is that something that you noticed or is that something
11:31
Speaker 2: that was intentional.
11:32
Speaker 3: I think I think it's something that everybody sees. I
11:34
Speaker 3: think two is coming with with age, with maturity, with
11:36
Speaker 3: him his body's growing. You know he's still still young,
11:40
Speaker 3: but that's everybody develops a little bit differently in their
11:44
Speaker 3: stage of life, and I think he's at that point
11:45
Speaker 3: now where we're going to see a little bit of
11:47
Speaker 3: you know, weight come on, you know, with Trevor a
11:50
Speaker 3: little bit. But he's thrown the ball extremely well. He's strong, love,
11:54
Speaker 3: his love, his demeanor around the team, his leadership ability
11:57
Speaker 3: around the team, and and really kind of picked up
12:00
Speaker 3: where he left off at the end of the year.
12:01
Speaker 4: And that's that's.
12:02
Speaker 3: Encouraging not only to us, but I think to the
12:04
Speaker 3: to the guys in that locker.
12:05
Speaker 2: Room and press. Taylor talked about this earlier today as well.
12:08
Speaker 2: Having a baseline to work from an offense going into
12:11
Speaker 2: year two now you're not installing the entire playbook again.
12:14
Speaker 2: You can just kind of start from where you finished
12:16
Speaker 2: and that's a huge step in the right direction.
12:19
Speaker 3: It is it is Year two is big that way,
12:21
Speaker 3: both offensively, defensively, and even on special teams. To be
12:24
Speaker 3: able to pick up and sort of plug our players
12:26
Speaker 3: back in. It's kind of my messaging to the team
12:28
Speaker 3: the other night was just guys, you know, we gotta
12:30
Speaker 3: understand we got to hit the reset button and we're
12:33
Speaker 3: starting over and we're we're doing things differently from the
12:37
Speaker 3: standpoint of that, and and understanding that, you know, what
12:41
Speaker 3: we did last year is great, but that's over and
12:43
Speaker 3: we haven't done anything yet this year. We're zero and
12:45
Speaker 3: zero sitting here and we continue, we must continue to
12:49
Speaker 3: put in the hard work and preparation to prepare for
12:51
Speaker 3: the regular season.
12:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, hard work, preparation is never shorted. But one thing
12:55
Speaker 2: that is new for your football team this year, you
12:57
Speaker 2: have some new components. Calvin Ridley Strange to Tank Bigsby.
13:02
Speaker 2: I mean, these are components of your offense that are
13:04
Speaker 2: going to be new and quite frankly, I'm excited to
13:07
Speaker 2: watch him play.
13:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, we are too as a staff.
13:10
Speaker 3: And and you know, Calvin brings a level of energy,
13:13
Speaker 3: a level of excitement, enthusiasm and his route running, Uh
13:17
Speaker 3: he's a long strider. He can cover some ground in
13:19
Speaker 3: a hurry. And and you know, you can just see
13:22
Speaker 3: the the the readiness by Calvin. He he he's so
13:26
Speaker 3: hungry to get back out on the football field from
13:28
Speaker 3: the time that he's missed and and just so appreciative
13:32
Speaker 3: of the opportunity to play football again. And and you know,
13:35
Speaker 3: Christians in a great spot and Zay and having Evan
13:38
Speaker 3: back now and in training camp and getting him getting
13:40
Speaker 3: him locked up for a few more years is tremendous offensively.
13:43
Speaker 3: And you know, you look at Brenton Strange, you look
13:46
Speaker 3: at Tank, you look at something, you look at Anton,
13:47
Speaker 3: you look at these guys now as we put them
13:50
Speaker 3: in with that first unit a little bit, uh, just
13:52
Speaker 3: seeing their athleticism, seeing what they can bring, you know,
13:55
Speaker 3: to our offense.
13:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, to your point about Calvin the first practice, if
14:00
Speaker 2: he stands out like that in NFL practice like this,
14:03
Speaker 2: other players are like, WHOA, Okay, that's a that's a
14:06
Speaker 2: different level of skill.
14:07
Speaker 4: It is.
14:08
Speaker 3: And and what I like about Calvin number one, it's
14:11
Speaker 3: his it's his way. He approaches every single day. Every
14:13
Speaker 3: day is a new day, but every day is a
14:15
Speaker 3: day to get better. And he again, he appreciates every
14:18
Speaker 3: moment he gets to practice with his teammates. And that's
14:21
Speaker 3: something I think that some guys take for granted until
14:24
Speaker 3: the until football is taken away from them. And that's
14:26
Speaker 3: what's happened to Calvin. And we're just so excited to
14:29
Speaker 3: get to get him in the mix and and really
14:31
Speaker 3: to see where he can he can fit and kind
14:33
Speaker 3: of plug and play with our system. And how well
14:36
Speaker 3: like he and Christian can work, you know, in tandem together.
14:39
Speaker 3: He and Zay can work in tandem together with combination routes.
14:41
Speaker 4: And all that. But big asset to our offense.
14:44
Speaker 2: On the defensive side of the ball. I'm sure that
14:47
Speaker 2: you and your staff evaluated that extremely closely, like most
14:51
Speaker 2: staffs do postseason analysis. As part of that analysis, what
14:55
Speaker 2: did you find and where do you want to go
14:57
Speaker 2: with your defense this year?
14:59
Speaker 3: You know, the biggest thing I think that we came
15:01
Speaker 3: away with is is you know, base defense versus sub defense,
15:05
Speaker 3: right the five man looks versus the four man looks,
15:07
Speaker 3: and this is a passing league and being able to
15:11
Speaker 3: get your best players on the football field at any
15:14
Speaker 3: given time, especially the pass rush. I think that's where
15:17
Speaker 3: we can make big strides this offseason is and are
15:20
Speaker 3: really going into the training camp is in the pass rush.
15:23
Speaker 4: And that was an area that we studied last year.
15:25
Speaker 3: And even though we're like a thirty four base defense
15:29
Speaker 3: on base, you know we're gonna we're gonna. I think
15:31
Speaker 3: one of the things you're gonna see is a little
15:32
Speaker 3: more fore man and four man front you're gonna see
15:34
Speaker 3: more of the the pass rush stuff because you get
15:36
Speaker 3: in those second long scenarios around the league and that
15:39
Speaker 3: becomes a high passing you know, situation down a distance
15:43
Speaker 3: for teams and so being able to do that and
15:45
Speaker 3: combinations of guys and you know, Trayvon Walker, you know,
15:50
Speaker 3: learning learning how to to you know, put different moves together,
15:54
Speaker 3: you know, going into a second year, being able to
15:56
Speaker 3: watch all of his tape from last year and learn
15:58
Speaker 3: from that. Josh Allen comes back, it looks a little bigger,
16:01
Speaker 3: a little thicker, and being able to you know, press
16:04
Speaker 3: the pocket, and you know, I look at you know,
16:07
Speaker 3: with DeVaughn and Roy Photicasi. I mean, these guys are
16:11
Speaker 3: all guys that can they can really play the interior
16:13
Speaker 3: spots and.
16:14
Speaker 4: Play it well.
16:16
Speaker 3: But those are areas that we looked at, even on
16:18
Speaker 3: the back end with combinations in the secondary, possibly playing
16:23
Speaker 3: more three safety you know, maybe even three corner whoever
16:26
Speaker 3: that might be, and providing more depth, you know, on defense.
16:29
Speaker 4: But those are all areas that we studied a little bit.
16:31
Speaker 3: Situationally, got to get better in the red zone, got
16:33
Speaker 3: to get better on third down from a year ago.
16:35
Speaker 4: So we understand that as well.
16:37
Speaker 2: Doug, thanks for the time two days into training camp,
16:40
Speaker 2: but you didn't have to walk far. Same building, new place,
16:42
Speaker 2: a new studio, and we'll look forward to talking to
16:44
Speaker 2: you again on the Doug Peterson Show once the regular
16:47
Speaker 2: season begins. We're gonna give you a few weeks off.
16:49
Speaker 3: How about I'd appreciate that. Let's let us get into
16:51

16:52
Speaker 4: But this is beautiful. I love this building again.

17:23
Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
17:28
Speaker 2: This is the Doug Peterson Show, the first one of
17:30
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty three season on the Jaguars Radio Network.
17:33
Speaker 2: JP Shadwick, Jeff Logman or thanks to head Coach Doug
17:35
Speaker 2: Peterson for stopping by on he goes about halfway down
17:40
Speaker 2: the building. That's where his office is. It's a big facility.
17:43
Speaker 2: He got a good view from his office. Yeah, he
17:45
Speaker 2: really does of the practice field and downtown and everything.
17:48
Speaker 2: But coming to our corner of the building here and
17:51
Speaker 2: joining us, and we'll, as we said there, give him
17:53
Speaker 2: a few weeks away to get training camp in the books.
17:56
Speaker 2: The team selected the fifty three. All that, and we'll
17:59
Speaker 2: talk to him again at least on this program. You'll
18:02
Speaker 2: hear from a lot, but you'll hear from the in
18:04
Speaker 2: studio live with us starting week one of the regular season.
18:08
Speaker 2: So that's on into September. Well, I mean between now
18:12
Speaker 2: and then, there's a lot of work to do. Obviously,
18:14
Speaker 2: we're only two practices in logs. This is the ramp
18:17
Speaker 2: up period, So as coach just talked about, each day,
18:21
Speaker 2: you can expand it by a few minutes, and then
18:24
Speaker 2: as the days go along you can add shells or
18:27
Speaker 2: spider pads. It's what they're doing tomorrow, and then full
18:31
Speaker 2: pads can go on Monday. Right. But by the way,
18:33
Speaker 2: spider pads are, I don't even know why they even
18:37
Speaker 2: have them. I mean, all they are is there. I mean,
18:40
Speaker 2: it's really no benefit. It gives you maybe a little
18:44
Speaker 2: protection if you bump into somebody. And it's an explanation
18:47
Speaker 2: of what they are. It's like a web. It's like
18:49
Speaker 2: a spider web, so different components. Or it's not a
18:54
Speaker 2: solid pad on the shoulders. It's literally like a netting.
19:00
Speaker 2: That's pad that goes across the drapes across the top
19:03
Speaker 2: of the shoulders. In fact, years ago, they used to
19:07
Speaker 2: have those that went under the shoulder pads to give
19:10
Speaker 2: the players a little extra protection their shoulders. And I
19:13
Speaker 2: don't know, I mean it's totally useless. But and then
19:16
Speaker 2: they go to shoulder pads I believe on one Saturday
19:20
Speaker 2: and Saturday and then full pads money and then full
19:22
Speaker 2: pads on money. But the contact will be there on Saturday,
19:25
Speaker 2: because I mean, once you get shoulder pads on, then
19:27
Speaker 2: you can go ahead and have you know, the pass
19:30
Speaker 2: rush offensive lineman versus defensive lineman. You're not going now,
19:33
Speaker 2: it's not happening at all. You're not going low anyway
19:36
Speaker 2: in these kind of practices. No, no, I mean you
19:38
Speaker 2: could probably have an NFL practice all the time without
19:43
Speaker 2: you know, pads you know, in the pants so to speak,
19:47
Speaker 2: just because of how of a controlled environment it is now,
19:50
Speaker 2: if you were working against another team, you'd want to
19:52
Speaker 2: be in full pads. But I think the acclamation period
19:56
Speaker 2: is fantastic. I wish the league had a little bit
20:01
Speaker 2: smarter approach years ago, just it would have been being selfish.
20:05
Speaker 2: Would have helped me out a whole lot, I think,
20:07
Speaker 2: and would have allowed me to go into the season
20:09
Speaker 2: healthier and a lot of other players that played this
20:11
Speaker 2: game for a very long time, you know, because the
20:12
Speaker 2: reality is, you know, not to reflect on the old days,
20:15
Speaker 2: but the way it used to be, it was first day,
20:19
Speaker 2: you had two days and it was three hour practices
20:21
Speaker 2: in full pads, and then they didn't come off until
20:25
Speaker 2: you had a day off after a game or a
20:28
Speaker 2: pad that a practice that wasn't in pads after a
20:32
Speaker 2: preseason game. So it's certainly different, and it's so much
20:35
Speaker 2: better now. It's so much smarter. You know, I'm not
20:37
Speaker 2: one of these guys. All these guys aren't tough. No,
20:39
Speaker 2: these guys are tough. These guys are tough as nails.
20:42
Speaker 2: Today it's just a much smarter approach on how they
20:46
Speaker 2: ramp up or acclimate the players into the season, into
20:50
Speaker 2: the training. You had to walk up hill both ways
20:52
Speaker 2: to practice. So I mean it was rough, real junction,
20:58
Speaker 2: no water, the whole deal. Right, Yeah, you know, it's look,
21:01
Speaker 2: it's just a smarter approach now, you know, give an example, JP.
21:06
Speaker 2: I mean, we're looking at this amazing facility, and there's
21:10
Speaker 2: been facilities around the league for a long time.
21:13
Speaker 4: You know.
21:14
Speaker 2: The cafeteria here is incredible with many food options for
21:18
Speaker 2: the players, in quality food options for the players. When
21:23
Speaker 2: when I was in New York back in the late eighties,
21:27
Speaker 2: they didn't provide any food in the facility after training
21:31
Speaker 2: camp was over with once you got into the regular season,
21:34
Speaker 2: which is crazy to think of, right, what did you
21:37
Speaker 2: eat for breakfast if you you know, maybe had a
21:40
Speaker 2: bowl cereal at home, or you stopped on the way
21:43
Speaker 2: in at a deli and got a breakfast sandwich, or
21:45
Speaker 2: may maybe McDonald's pancakes, the hotcakes, yeah, the hotcakes, which
21:50
Speaker 2: I like the hotcakes. Okay, I'm a pancake guy. Now
21:54
Speaker 2: for lunch, we would send the Hampton Boys, which was
21:59
Speaker 2: they ran equipment row and we'd send them out and
22:02
Speaker 2: they would go and get deli sandwiches from local delis.
22:06
Speaker 2: There was no eating to win performance diet I mean
22:11
Speaker 2: there was none of that eating to survive. It was
22:15
Speaker 2: get whatever you could get right so and then I'll
22:19
Speaker 2: never forget. I mean that all changed. It changed league
22:23
Speaker 2: wide when Jimmy Johnson had the success that he had
22:27
Speaker 2: in Dallas, because he was the one that brought that
22:30
Speaker 2: that to the NFL. The year round training, the you know,
22:34
Speaker 2: making sure they're eating great food. I mean, Jimmy was.
22:38
Speaker 2: He's a Hall of Famer in my mind just because
22:41
Speaker 2: of how he changed the NFL and changed the NFL's
22:45
Speaker 2: mindset to what we see today. Of course, training camp
22:49
Speaker 2: for the next couple of weeks. First pre season game
22:52
Speaker 2: lones is August twelfth at the Dallas Cowboys, so travel
22:57
Speaker 2: day the day before that, and then the next the
23:00
Speaker 2: Jaguars head to Detroit for joint practices against the Lions
23:04
Speaker 2: for a couple of days. I'm a big fan of
23:06
Speaker 2: that JPN And let me just talk about that for
23:08
Speaker 2: a minute, because you know, when you're in training camp
23:10
Speaker 2: and you're going against your teammates, you're going against the
23:13
Speaker 2: same body, type of guy who has the same tenancies
23:16
Speaker 2: and traits. It's good to practice against another team, and
23:20
Speaker 2: especially the Detroit Lions, who if any view as an
23:23
Speaker 2: up and coming team and a team that's got some talent.
23:26
Speaker 2: Could this be a Super Bowl preview? Well, I mean
23:29
Speaker 2: about that be con stretching a little bit, but I
23:32
Speaker 2: mean it's good to work against other players that have
23:35
Speaker 2: other traits, other techniques, other different body types. You're seeing
23:39
Speaker 2: different schemes. It's a controlled environment. It's a way to
23:44
Speaker 2: get really quality work with your veterans in a practice environment.
23:49
Speaker 2: And then once you get to the games, you're gonna
23:51
Speaker 2: protect some of those veterans. And then Week three of
23:54
Speaker 2: the preseason August twenty sixth, the only Jaguars home game
23:57
Speaker 2: of the preseason, the Miami Dolphins come north. And remember
23:59
Speaker 2: there's no cutdowns on the roster this year until after
24:02
Speaker 2: the preseason. Wow. I mean, it's that's a dramatic change.
24:06
Speaker 2: You know, for many years you had cut down dates.
24:10
Speaker 2: You know, you have step down you know in your
24:13
Speaker 2: roster numbers. You know you go from you know, ninety
24:16
Speaker 2: and seventy seventy five and then whatever, and then down
24:20
Speaker 2: to fifty three eventually, and now it's gonna be one
24:23
Speaker 2: one cut. But you know what, the expanded practice squads
24:25
Speaker 2: is not as dramatic as it seems. Though multiple playmakers.
24:30
Speaker 2: One football wide receiver Christian Kirk says what they do
24:34
Speaker 2: when they walk in the door every day to keep
24:36
Speaker 2: everyone grounded. That's coming up next, we'll hear from Christian
24:39
Speaker 2: Kirk on the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
24:51
Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
24:56
Speaker 2: This is the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
24:59
Speaker 2: Versus one of the two only twenty three season JP Shadwick,
25:02
Speaker 2: Jeff Logman, and earlier this week, I had a chance
25:04
Speaker 2: to catch up with Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk. That
25:08
Speaker 2: was on Wednesday, after the first practice of training camp.
25:11
Speaker 2: There's a lot of confidence around this Jaguars offense. A
25:16
Speaker 2: lot of folks are picking this Jaguars team to go
25:18
Speaker 2: a long way. And I asked Christian Kirk why he's
25:21
Speaker 2: so confident in this twenty twenty three Jaguars team.
25:25
Speaker 5: I think because of, you know, the type of guys
25:28
Speaker 5: that we have in our group, and just the approach
25:30
Speaker 5: day in and day out, spending time with one another
25:33
Speaker 5: off the field, and just the like cohesiveness we have
25:36
Speaker 5: as a group I think will hold us together and
25:39
Speaker 5: it sets the tone, everybody's on the same page. You know,
25:41
Speaker 5: when we come out here to be the best group
25:43
Speaker 5: and that's our standard. And so you know, when you
25:46
Speaker 5: have guys like that in a group to be able
25:48
Speaker 5: to push one in each other and on days when
25:50
Speaker 5: another guy's not playing to the level of our standard,
25:53
Speaker 5: those guys are gonna bring them with, you know, because
25:55
Speaker 5: you're only as good as your worst guy. And so
25:58
Speaker 5: you know, for us, it's just a hacking every day
26:01
Speaker 5: and you know, being able to scratch the surface of
26:03
Speaker 5: what we can be last year into this year, I
26:06
Speaker 5: think there's a lot of expectations from us to go
26:08
Speaker 5: out and you know, perform at a high level.
26:10
Speaker 2: Going into year six. How different are you feeling than
26:13
Speaker 2: you were as say you're one year two in the NFL.
26:15
Speaker 2: Now you've you've been at this for.
26:17
Speaker 5: A while, way different, way different. I'm a little more
26:21
Speaker 5: chill on day one, you know, just taking it day
26:23
Speaker 5: by day, not trying to kill myself on the first
26:25
Speaker 5: day because I know it's a long camp, and you know,
26:28
Speaker 5: just being smart, being efficient, making the plays when they
26:31
Speaker 5: come to me. But also, you know, honestly, this camp
26:33
Speaker 5: just focusing more on being a leader, being more of
26:36
Speaker 5: a vocal leader, and you know, just teaching these guys
26:39
Speaker 5: and coaching these guys up to the level of our
26:41
Speaker 5: sander and what we do here, and you know, pushing
26:43
Speaker 5: ourselves to be the best group in the league. That's
26:45
Speaker 5: our goal right now. So it's definitely a different role.
26:48
Speaker 5: I'm enjoying it and like I said, just taking it
26:50
Speaker 5: day by day.
26:50
Speaker 2: Let's start with Ridley. How different is he now all
26:53
Speaker 2: of a sudden with the route running and the stop startability,
26:57
Speaker 2: everything he brings is just a different.
26:59
Speaker 5: Gear one hundred percent. You know, he operates at a
27:01
Speaker 5: different level of movement, as we like to say, you know,
27:05
Speaker 5: but just his explosiveness and to be able to have
27:07
Speaker 5: that on the outside, to be able to put a
27:09
Speaker 5: guy out there one on one and tear apart of defense, Uh,
27:13
Speaker 5: just adds to the dynamic ability of what we're able
27:15
Speaker 5: to do because we have so many different guys that
27:18
Speaker 5: can burn you in different ways. Uh, it's gonna be
27:20
Speaker 5: it's gonna be hard for defenses to prepare. But you know,
27:23
Speaker 5: for us, it's just you know, maximizing our ability. But
27:26
Speaker 5: he had a great day today, and you know, I'm
27:28
Speaker 5: excited to see where he goes from from here.
27:30
Speaker 2: But back to the group now as a whole with
27:32
Speaker 2: him in it, and Ingram just signed his deal, so
27:36
Speaker 2: throw him into the mix too. There's one football Yeah,
27:38
Speaker 2: we talked about that a lot last year. You guys
27:40
Speaker 2: handled that pretty well, it felt like. But it's all
27:42
Speaker 2: about the team and the offense movement. I had just
27:44
Speaker 2: to keep everybody on the same day.
27:46
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, we said it last year. It's check
27:47
Speaker 5: your ego in at the door. Uh, And that's got
27:50
Speaker 5: to be the key. If you're gonna have players like this,
27:52
Speaker 5: it's gonna you know, everybody needs to get their own
27:55
Speaker 5: and you know when that happens, that's how you win
27:58
Speaker 5: football games.
27:59
Speaker 4: Uh.
27:59
Speaker 5: You know, one person on gonna win you a football game.
28:01
Speaker 5: There may be times where yeah, one guy's gonna get
28:02
Speaker 5: relied on and you know he's gonna carry us towards
28:04
Speaker 5: that way. But you know, when we get into the
28:06
Speaker 5: playoffs and we get into the nitty gritty and you know,
28:09
Speaker 5: adversity starts to strike, we need everybody. So you know,
28:11
Speaker 5: as a unit, you know, we need to operate that
28:13
Speaker 5: way and just kind of buy into what we're doing
28:15
Speaker 5: and keep our long term goal in sight.
28:17
Speaker 2: How much NFL Network or ESPN you watch, or any
28:21
Speaker 2: of the preseason hype shows or any of that, but
28:24
Speaker 2: most of those you watch, the Jaguars are the favorites
28:27
Speaker 2: to win the AFC South. Do you guys buy into that?
28:29
Speaker 2: Do you worry about that stuff? Is there added pressure
28:33
Speaker 2: with that being the hunted team instead of the team
28:37
Speaker 2: that's up and coming like you were last year?
28:39
Speaker 4: Yeah?
28:39
Speaker 5: You know, I think the only apprehension to it is,
28:42
Speaker 5: you know, guys looking into that and listening to that.
28:46
Speaker 5: You know, because last year we weren't even in the conversation.
28:49
Speaker 5: We were still in the conversation as being one of
28:51
Speaker 5: the worst teams in the NFL, And so I remember
28:54
Speaker 5: that feeling. I know all the other guys remember that feeling,
28:56
Speaker 5: and you know, the motivation, the edge that we had
28:59
Speaker 5: to get to the point where we need to be
29:00
Speaker 5: and we can't lose that. You know, Doug said it
29:03
Speaker 5: best yesterday in our team meeting. He said, you know,
29:06
Speaker 5: greatness isn't about what you did, It's about what you're
29:08
Speaker 5: going to do. And you know, we can't listen to
29:11
Speaker 5: the noise. And when we win a couple of games
29:13
Speaker 5: this season, nobody's gonna stand up and cheer allow for us.
29:15
Speaker 5: They're going to say that's what they're supposed to do,
29:17
Speaker 5: and so we just got to go out there and
29:19
Speaker 5: you know, manage expectations and you know, control our energy
29:22
Speaker 5: and what we do.
29:24
Speaker 2: I think I can talk to Christian Kirk all day long.
29:27
Speaker 2: The full conversation available on the Official Jaguars Podcast network logs.
29:31
Speaker 2: He's awesome. Yeah, I've been at it for a while.
29:33
Speaker 2: Understands his role. Check your ego at the doors. Some
29:36
Speaker 2: good quotes in there, and and the boy the last
29:39
Speaker 2: one there from Doug Peterson the team meeting says a
29:41
Speaker 2: lot and it was what he said, Greatness is not
29:45
Speaker 2: what you've done, but what you're gonna do. That's right,
29:47
Speaker 2: and that that tells me something that the Jaguars are
29:52
Speaker 2: very fortunate to have a great leader in Doug Peterson.
29:55
Speaker 2: Because when you talk about messaging, the messaging to get
30:00
Speaker 2: through and be heard by the players, then how many
30:02
Speaker 2: times last year did we hear the players echo the
30:07
Speaker 2: messaging that Doug Peterson was giving to them. And that's
30:11
Speaker 2: what you got to have. That's what leadership is all about.
30:14
Speaker 2: So it starts at the top, great leadership by Doug,
30:17
Speaker 2: and then when you listen to Christian Kirk talking about
30:20
Speaker 2: him wanting to be a more vocal leader. He's a
30:22
Speaker 2: natural leader because you just listen to him talk and
30:25
Speaker 2: he's just he's an excellent talker, but he backs up
30:29
Speaker 2: his eloquence with great performance. You know, that wide receiver group,
30:35
Speaker 2: They've got a new offensive position coach in Chad Hall.
30:39
Speaker 2: I mean, how fortunate is Chad Hall to have a
30:42
Speaker 2: group like this that has the maturity to as Christian
30:47
Speaker 2: Kirk talked about, check the ego at the door when
30:50
Speaker 2: it comes to game time and it's about winning and
30:54
Speaker 2: it doesn't matter about how the individual performs, but how
30:58
Speaker 2: the group performs, and long as they get that win,
31:01
Speaker 2: that's exactly what coaches strive for. And to hear that conversation,
31:06
Speaker 2: it just reveals so many different things with that one
31:09
Speaker 2: conversation that you had with Christian Kirk, and it just
31:12
Speaker 2: makes you feel good about where this team is in
31:14
Speaker 2: the direction that it's heading. And let me just send
31:18
Speaker 2: out a kudos to Doug Peterson and Trent Balky because
31:21
Speaker 2: you go back to last year in the off season
31:25
Speaker 2: when they take over a football team that had a
31:27
Speaker 2: lot of disarray with a young quarterback that many viewed
31:30
Speaker 2: as being talented. The first thing that they did was
31:34
Speaker 2: surround him with the talent that we're talking about, Christian Kirk,
31:38
Speaker 2: Zay Jones, Evan Ingram, guys that come to work every day.
31:45
Speaker 2: But it wasn't just the wide receiving group and the
31:47
Speaker 2: tight endrom on the offensive line. You ended up bringing
31:50
Speaker 2: in Brandon Sheriff leaders Right, Okay, you got to have
31:55
Speaker 2: moments like that and transactions like that in order to
32:00
Speaker 2: change the culture. And so you've got to give credit
32:03
Speaker 2: to Balkey and Peterson for what they were able to do,
32:06
Speaker 2: and ownership as well, because you know what, it costs
32:09
Speaker 2: a lot of money. Because a lot of people around
32:12
Speaker 2: the league were scratching their head when that Christian Kirk
32:14
Speaker 2: contract came out and people were like, oh, he's over paid.
32:17
Speaker 2: Well you know what he's not. I mean, if you
32:20
Speaker 2: don't have the support of ownership from a financial standpoint,
32:23
Speaker 2: you none of that happens. So, I mean a lot
32:26
Speaker 2: of revelation, I would say in that conversation you had,
32:29
Speaker 2: and we didn't even get into his role in the offense.
32:32
Speaker 2: I think we can get to that a little later
32:33
Speaker 2: in training camp, and we certainly will with Christian not
32:36
Speaker 2: the last time. We're gonna speak with him when we
32:38
Speaker 2: come back though, Defense Pass Rush, Where do they find it?
32:43
Speaker 2: What changes on defense will they make? Moving ahead, it's
32:46
Speaker 2: the Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio.
32:52
Speaker 1: Welcome back. That Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
32:57
Speaker 2: The first Doug Peterson Show of the twenty twenty three
33:00
Speaker 2: campaigned for the Hundai studios at the Miller Electric Center.
33:03
Speaker 2: That just sounds good rolling off the tongue. I must say,
33:07
Speaker 2: it's beautiful news space. Glad you're with us on the
33:09
Speaker 2: Jaguars Radio Network. JP Shadrick with Jeff Logoman. You know
33:14
Speaker 2: what I'd like to see about the Miller Electric Center.
33:16
Speaker 2: What's that is the electric bill for that indoor facility.
33:23
Speaker 2: It's big. It's got this big tube that runs around
33:29
Speaker 2: the entire circumference of the field, about halfway up the
33:34
Speaker 2: height of the sides of the building. And that is
33:37
Speaker 2: the air conditioning vent. And the air conditioning vent is
33:42
Speaker 2: probably wider than this table in this table, probably about
33:46
Speaker 2: what six feet wide. It's about seven maybe eight foot
33:50
Speaker 2: in diameter. This big thing that runs all the way
33:53
Speaker 2: around that blows air out of all these holes. Oh buddy,
33:58
Speaker 2: that's a mighty good election bill. It's quite an HVAC system. Yeah,
34:02
Speaker 2: and see the secret is JP is when you watch practice,
34:06
Speaker 2: is to sneak on over there by those open garage doors,
34:09
Speaker 2: by an indoor facility when it's blazing hot out and
34:12
Speaker 2: to get a little bit of that cool air coming out.
34:14
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. The first thing that the media
34:16
Speaker 2: crew noticed was when we walked out there practice the
34:21
Speaker 2: first day was on the field nearest the main building,
34:24
Speaker 2: was that sideline is in complete shade all practice long. Yeah,
34:28
Speaker 2: it's just well, unfortunately the practices in the morning are
34:33
Speaker 2: in complete shade. Okay, if practices were moved to midday,
34:38
Speaker 2: you would not have complete show right now. Appreciate the
34:41
Speaker 2: schedule of a morning early early morning practice, Thanks, Doug,
34:45
Speaker 2: appreciate that. It's very nice. It's all about the the
34:48
Speaker 2: appreciated thinking of us media's comfort. It's priority number one
34:52
Speaker 2: around here. Let me tell you pass rush defense, defensive backs,
34:57
Speaker 2: linebacker play all the above three levels of D defense.
35:00
Speaker 2: What's different looking about this group? Maybe you can't tell yet,
35:04
Speaker 2: but what do you think could be different? Doug touched
35:07
Speaker 2: on it just a little bit earlier, maybe some more
35:10
Speaker 2: four man fronts. I think we're gonna see more four
35:13
Speaker 2: man fronts less I think trying to fool the opponent,
35:17
Speaker 2: so to speak, hand in the ground. We saw a
35:20
Speaker 2: little bit more of that towards the end of last season,
35:24
Speaker 2: and I think it's what's needed. It puts players in
35:26
Speaker 2: the best position to pass rush and that once you
35:30
Speaker 2: get into second long and third and long. I mean,
35:32
Speaker 2: occasionally you want to fool somebody, but for the most part,
35:35
Speaker 2: it's about putting the player in the best position to
35:38
Speaker 2: win and not about fooling the quarterback into Okay, who's
35:43
Speaker 2: coming and who's not coming. I think it's gonna be
35:46
Speaker 2: really good for Trayvon Walker. I think it's going to
35:48
Speaker 2: be good for Josh Allen, you know, and I think
35:51
Speaker 2: specifically about Trayvon Walker. You know, when you're a rookie,
35:54
Speaker 2: you're thinking so much about responsibility and where I'm supposed
35:58
Speaker 2: to be, and now I'm thinking about, Okay, what pass
36:00
Speaker 2: rush move do I want to do? I want to
36:02
Speaker 2: have You want to get to the point to where
36:05
Speaker 2: you're just not thinking. Your body in your mind are
36:09
Speaker 2: just reacting. And in order to get to that, you
36:13
Speaker 2: have to have a very clear mind and a very
36:16
Speaker 2: clear objective and four man fronts when you get into
36:20
Speaker 2: that situation, I think can provide some of that to
36:23
Speaker 2: the mind of a player to allow him to just
36:26
Speaker 2: get after it. I mean Trayvon Walker, when he gets
36:30
Speaker 2: his head of steam going and he's decisive, he's a handful.
36:34
Speaker 2: I mean, he's as strong and I mean a big
36:36
Speaker 2: of a load as anybody that you can imagine on
36:39
Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball. I think it will
36:42
Speaker 2: help everybody. It will help the pass rush, the edge guys,
36:45
Speaker 2: the guys that are inside. It will also help the
36:48
Speaker 2: back end because the pass rush will be better. We'll
36:51
Speaker 2: come back in a moment and look at the schedule
36:54
Speaker 2: ahead for the Jaguars, including Saturday, a lot going on,
36:59
Speaker 2: a kind of special across the league. It is. That's
37:02
Speaker 2: just ahead. It's the Doug Peterson Show and the Jaguars
37:04
Speaker 2: Radio Network.
37:07
Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.

37:31
Speaker 2: do you think. Yeah, I know, And we'll get him
37:34
Speaker 2: back week one, getting ready for the opener, and we'll
37:38
Speaker 2: get his thoughts on the Jaguars Radio network coming up. Then. Well,
37:42
Speaker 2: there's a busy schedule ahead of course the rest of

38:18
Speaker 2: And then some Jacksonville Jaguars legends will be in attendance
38:21
Speaker 2: as well. That was really really good. Saved Jacks almost
38:24
Speaker 2: you almost read it off of it, which would have
38:27
Speaker 2: taken the surprise away from Saturday for all of these
38:32
Speaker 2: youth football players. Sorry, kids, No, it'll be fun. But
38:36

38:54
Speaker 2: training camp information, Jaguars dot com slash training Camp the
38:59

Speaker 2: you got the big, big ass fans, you got everything
39:09
Speaker 2: you want. I can't believe you're saying that he's got
39:12
Speaker 2: everything you want. I wasn't gonna say that earlier, you know,
39:15
Speaker 2: but you made me said it first. So, by the way,
39:19
Speaker 2: there's some other big news today that happened in the
39:21
Speaker 2: National Football League and uh, one of the reasons why
39:25
Speaker 2: we have not seen our seen our friend this week,
39:29
Speaker 2: mister Tony Biselli. Oh yeah, Tony, yeah, I forgot about him.
39:33
Speaker 2: Yeah I remember that guy. Oh yeah, that guy. Where's
39:36
Speaker 2: he been. He's been, Uh, he've been doing some Hall
39:40
Speaker 2: of Fame things. He's got in the Hall of Fame
39:41
Speaker 2: and we've yeah, we forgot about him. But uh, look,
39:46
Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of one guy in particular that's
39:49
Speaker 2: up for the Hall of Fame this year, a big
39:51
Speaker 2: fan and his name is Tom Coughlin, and I wanted
39:53
Speaker 2: to say congratulations Tom. He made the cut down to
39:58
Speaker 2: I believe twelve and the Coaches Contributors category, and he's
40:04
Speaker 2: got some very worthy people that are joining him in
40:08
Speaker 2: that twelve. But I'm gonna be rooting so hard for
40:13
Speaker 2: Tom to get in the Hall of Fame this year
40:14
Speaker 2: because he deserves it. The other eleven outside of Tom Coughlin,
40:19
Speaker 2: Mike Holmgren, Frank Bucko Kilroy, Robert Kraft, Buddy Parker, Dan Reeves,
40:25
Speaker 2: Art Rooney Junior, Marty Schottenheimer, Mike Shanahan, Clark Shaughnessy, Lloyd Wells,
40:31
Speaker 2: and John Wooton. So congratulations to a Tom Cloughlin for
40:35
Speaker 2: making the move at least into the semi finals. And
40:39
Speaker 2: there's a meeting on August fifteenth to select one for
40:43
Speaker 2: final consideration for the Class of twenty twenty four. That's
40:46
Speaker 2: a hard decision to make, I mean, it really is.
40:50
Speaker 2: And in the other category, you know, I believe Shannon Sharp,
40:55
Speaker 2: Albert Lewis Jojacobe. There's some really good ones. And one
41:01
Speaker 2: of the guys that I'm a big fan of that's
41:02
Speaker 2: on that player side is Ken Anderson, quarterback of the
41:06
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals, And if you look at his numbers, I mean,
41:09
Speaker 2: even comparing him to quarterbacks of today, incredibly impressive. And
41:14
Speaker 2: I'm a little biased because Ken was a longtime coach
41:17
Speaker 2: and that guy that I got to spend a lot
41:21
Speaker 2: of time with, and he's one of my favorite coaches
41:24
Speaker 2: that I've ever had the pleasure of kind of doing
41:27
Speaker 2: a broadcasting job alongside. And I hope he gets in.
41:30
Speaker 2: I really do. Seniors committee will meet August twenty second.
41:33
Speaker 2: They may select up to three seniors for final consideration
41:37
Speaker 2: as members of the class of twenty twenty four, and
41:40
Speaker 2: the expansion of that seniors pool was approved back in
41:43
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two for the classes of twenty three, twenty four,
41:47
Speaker 2: and twenty five. We'll return in a moment with the
41:50
Speaker 2: upcoming schedule for the Jaguars training camp is underway. Two
41:54
Speaker 2: practices in and this is the Doug Peterson Show on
41:57
Speaker 2: Jaguars Radio.
42:01
Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
42:05
Speaker 2: Final moments of the opening Doug Peterson Show of the
42:08
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three season, JP, Shadwick, Jeff Logerman are thanks
42:12
Speaker 2: to head coach Doug Peterson joining us earlier in the program.
42:16
Speaker 2: We'll give him a few weeks off. He'll be back
42:18
Speaker 2: with us in week one of the regular season. Brent Reever,
42:22
Speaker 2: Max Hackman on the video side today, Joe Fortunado on
42:26
Speaker 2: the audio or thanks to Richie Clemens for coming in
42:29
Speaker 2: hot today right before the show to get us going.
42:31
Speaker 2: And hey, training camps here two practices down. Doug said
42:35
Speaker 2: it earlier, Spider pads going on and it just continues
42:39
Speaker 2: to ramp up. We're looking forward to full pads on
42:43
Speaker 2: Monday for the first time. Yeah, I mean, and looking
42:45
Speaker 2: forward to really every aspect of training camp. And you know,
42:48
Speaker 2: the one thing you always want to see is for
42:49
Speaker 2: the team to stay healthy in every practice that you
42:52
Speaker 2: get under the belt and there's not a player hurt,
42:54
Speaker 2: you feel good about and then the work that's going
42:57
Speaker 2: to be happening in the future. You know, I'm looking
42:59
Speaker 2: forward this ball team going up against the Cowboys that
43:02
Speaker 2: in the first preseason game, the opportunity to practice against
43:05
Speaker 2: the Detroit lines. You know, we talked about pass rush
43:08
Speaker 2: and how to improve it. This Detroit Lions football team
43:12
Speaker 2: has a really good offensive line that's going to be
43:14
Speaker 2: really good work in training camp this year with Taylor
43:17
Speaker 2: Decker and Pine Steel is the two tackles that they have. Yeah,
43:21
Speaker 2: that's that's great work. That's the kind of work that
43:23
Speaker 2: you want to get in the preseason. I'm glad that
43:25
Speaker 2: Doug is open to that because I think it's it's
43:28
Speaker 2: incredibly beneficial to all football teams and players. And not
43:32
Speaker 2: just that, but the Jaguars offensive line against that defensive
43:35
Speaker 2: front for Detroit too goes the other way. Yeah. And
43:37
Speaker 2: then they've got some good players there on that defensive
43:40
Speaker 2: side of the ball that are very young, and so
43:43
Speaker 2: it's going to be a test. And you know, Jared
43:45
Speaker 2: Goff will give him a test. You know, he's a
43:48
Speaker 2: veteran guy. I mean, those are all things that you
43:50
Speaker 2: want to see in the preseason, and you know, fingers crossed,
43:53
Speaker 2: everybody stays healthy and comes out of it, you know, intact,
43:58
Speaker 2: and so that this football team kind of acomplish what
44:00
Speaker 2: they have set in mind. First things, First, two more
44:04
Speaker 2: weeks of training camp before we even get to the
44:06
Speaker 2: preseason games. Logs. Hey, we got it started, We'll do
44:10
Speaker 2: it again next week. Happy Football New Year, Happy Football
