- 0:37Speaker 4: It is? It is my mood. I'll tell you what.
- 0:39Speaker 4: This is a this is a great day.
- 0:40Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 0:41Speaker 4: We just get off the field, walked through and uh
- 0:44Speaker 4: now we're now we're back in back in the building.
- 0:46Speaker 4: This is this is this is it? I mean, uh,
- 0:48Speaker 4: you know, listen, Uh, I've been in a good mood
- 0:51Speaker 4: now for the last couple of days.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Good.
- 0:53Speaker 4: You know, Monday was obviously rough Tuesday with the players
- 0:57Speaker 4: back in the building here back in the hotel, you know,
- 0:59Speaker 4: we had we had some to hearts and you know,
- 1:02Speaker 4: I think, I honestly think it was good. It was
- 1:04Speaker 4: good that we did that. Players or players seem to
- 1:07Speaker 4: be in a in a good spot, you know, heading
- 1:08Speaker 4: into this week.
- 1:09Speaker 2: Jeff, two words I've heard from players this week, Doug,
- 1:12Speaker 2: focus and accountability. Give me your thought on those two
- 1:14Speaker 2: words and how they apply to your football team.
- 1:16Speaker 4: I think it's perfect. I think they hit the nail,
- 1:19Speaker 4: as they say, on the head. You know, there's there's
- 1:22Speaker 4: lapses during the game, which is that focus they're talking about.
- 1:24Speaker 4: There's those those mental mistakes you know that show up there.
- 1:28Speaker 4: You know, if you take out the you know, the
- 1:30Speaker 4: first part of the game where things were really going
- 1:32Speaker 4: well both offensively and defensively, you get in that middle
- 1:35Speaker 4: part of that game and we struggled offense to stay
- 1:38Speaker 4: on the field on third down, and then defensively, you know,
- 1:41Speaker 4: we had gosh, we had twelve men on the field,
- 1:43Speaker 4: we had a defensive holding, a defensive holding. We you know,
- 1:46Speaker 4: we did get created takeaway, but offense couldn't do anything
- 1:49Speaker 4: with it, and vice versa. They have a takeaway, they
- 1:51Speaker 4: go down and score. So that's kind of that focus
- 1:54Speaker 4: that that I think the players and myself were talking about.
- 1:57Speaker 4: And then you know, the accountability of just doing your job.
- 2:00Speaker 4: Just do what we ask you to do. That's all.
- 2:02Speaker 4: That's all you need to do. Don't don't you know
- 2:04Speaker 4: I'm not going to do your job and you don't
- 2:06Speaker 4: do mine. I'll do mine, you do yours, and then
- 2:08Speaker 4: let's go play.
- 2:09Speaker 3: And watching the defense, that seems to be kind of
- 2:12Speaker 3: a little bit of the theme where you have mental
- 2:15Speaker 3: errors that are hurting you guys. I mean the penalties
- 2:17Speaker 3: you talked about there, and obviously the couple first downs
- 2:19Speaker 3: that were converted, but defensively, until you clean that up,
- 2:23Speaker 3: I mean, it's going to be hard for you guys
- 2:25Speaker 3: to compete.
- 2:26Speaker 4: It is, it is, and those are things that we
- 2:28Speaker 4: keep showing our players. And look, we've got the right people.
- 2:31Speaker 4: We got the right players, the coaches, everybody, we're all
- 2:33Speaker 4: on the same page with it. Now. It's just a
- 2:36Speaker 4: matter of just we got to go do it. And
- 2:39Speaker 4: it's not showing up all the time, right, you know,
- 2:42Speaker 4: it's it does show up a lot, but we need
- 2:45Speaker 4: it to show up for the entire sixty minute football game.
- 2:48Speaker 3: Have you ever been in a position like this as
- 2:50Speaker 3: a coach and a player, You know where your record
- 2:53Speaker 3: is what it is, but you know the expectations were higher.
- 2:56Speaker 4: I think, gosh, probably not the expectation as high as
- 3:00Speaker 4: they are for our football team.
- 3:02Speaker 3: I know, I was.
- 3:02Speaker 4: I started the season one and five, and in Kansas
- 3:04Speaker 4: City we actually it's interesting I was. I was actually
- 3:07Speaker 4: talking to coach Reid last night and we were talking,
- 3:10Speaker 4: texting back and forth, and I was reminding him of
- 3:12Speaker 4: that we were one and five, and he says, yeah,
- 3:14Speaker 4: I also remember we were nine to zero how to
- 3:16Speaker 4: Buy and then didn't win a game after that. So
- 3:19Speaker 4: in Kansas City, so I've been on both ends of this, right.
- 3:21Speaker 4: So it's just a matter of just sticking to sticking
- 3:25Speaker 4: to what I believe in best for the football team
- 3:29Speaker 4: and lead like that, and and just you know, I
- 3:31Speaker 4: don't think you changed just to change.
- 3:33Speaker 2: Now.
- 3:33Speaker 4: You're gonna do some little things here and there to
- 3:35Speaker 4: try to help improve some stuff, but I think overall,
- 3:37Speaker 4: you you got to stick to your plan and and
- 3:39Speaker 4: and you know, believe in what you're doing.
- 3:41Speaker 2: I asked you about this yesterday, but you had a
- 3:43Speaker 2: good answer, So I'd like to ask again. Mike McCarthy's
- 3:45Speaker 2: Cowboys had a tough loss on Sunday night to the
- 3:47Speaker 2: Detroit Lions, and the next morning. I don't want to
- 3:50Speaker 2: use the word defiant, but instead of woe is me right,
- 3:53Speaker 2: and it stinks to be whatever their record is, he
- 3:56Speaker 2: stood there and set them up for the challenge, right,
- 3:58Speaker 2: I relish the challenge. I hope my players do too.
- 4:01Speaker 2: Is that where you're at today, I believe so you'd
- 4:03Speaker 2: rather not be here, But you don't want to be
- 4:05Speaker 2: one and five. You want to be five to one, yeah,
- 4:07Speaker 2: or six and o. But you do have to relish
- 4:10Speaker 2: the opportunity that's in front of you. This this game
- 4:13Speaker 2: is you know, passes us by quickly, and these moments
- 4:16Speaker 2: pass us by as coaches and players relatively fast. And
- 4:20Speaker 2: so every time it's a great opportunity to take the field,
- 4:24Speaker 2: as a coach and a player, you need to you
- 4:27Speaker 2: need to maximize that opportun You need to relish that opportunity.
- 4:30Speaker 2: You need to, you know, do everything you can in
- 4:33Speaker 2: your power right to help win that football game. And
- 4:35Speaker 2: so I get what he says. I understand that as
- 4:38Speaker 2: a coach. I understand that as a player, And that's
- 4:40Speaker 2: got to be the message to the team that we
- 4:43Speaker 2: have to relish in these moments.
- 4:45Speaker 4: It's a great opportunity. Nobody's gonna feel sorry for us
- 4:48Speaker 4: around the league. You know, we've got eleven ball games left.
- 4:51Speaker 4: The Patriots aren't gonna feel sorry for us in Green
- 4:53Speaker 4: Bay and Minnesota, Philly, all those teams coming up. So
- 4:56Speaker 4: you know, hey, let's maximize this opportunity right now. Now,
- 5:00Speaker 4: see what we can do.
- 5:01Speaker 3: Your quarterback talked about the need of not being fragile, uh,
- 5:05Speaker 3: in response to certain parts of adversity that always come
- 5:09Speaker 3: in a ballgame. As a coach, how do you how
- 5:13Speaker 3: do you create a mental toughness of your team that
- 5:16Speaker 3: when you do at you know, encounter the adversity, you
- 5:19Speaker 3: can not only just respond to it, but you can
- 5:22Speaker 3: respond to it in a positive fashion to change the momentum.
- 5:25Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, that's a that's a great question, and
- 5:27Speaker 4: it's obviously the one thing that when you're in a
- 5:31Speaker 4: when you're in a position like this, you're always trying
- 5:33Speaker 4: to find the answer to that. You know, how do
- 5:34Speaker 4: you how do you respond? I think you know it's
- 5:37Speaker 4: it's it's just like I've used that word resiliency or
- 5:40Speaker 4: being resilient, right, It's that comeback after a setback, And
- 5:43Speaker 4: it's just a mindset of like, you know what, enough's enough?
- 5:46Speaker 4: If something negative happens in the game, by god, defense,
- 5:50Speaker 4: you go out and you go out and try to
- 5:51Speaker 4: you know, go three an out or get a takeaway
- 5:53Speaker 4: if if something happens, if if they score offensively, we
- 5:56Speaker 4: need to go back out on the field and we
- 5:58Speaker 4: need to score, right. It needs to be. That's sort
- 6:01Speaker 4: of that complimentary aspect of football. And right now we're
- 6:04Speaker 4: not doing that complete enough, you know, for sixty minutes.
- 6:07Speaker 3: Yeah, and I go back to what we're talking about
- 6:09Speaker 3: about complimentary football. You know, Cisco had the interception and okay, now, okay,
- 6:16Speaker 3: here we go right, let me can offensively, let's do
- 6:18Speaker 3: something with it. And then you had a couple of
- 6:21Speaker 3: plays and then you were.
- 6:21Speaker 4: Out like three and out of moth you know, stuff
- 6:23Speaker 4: like that. It's and that's the other thing too, is
- 6:26Speaker 4: like you look at the game last week. I mean,
- 6:28Speaker 4: it was a seven to three ball game with under
- 6:30Speaker 4: five minutes. I think to go in the half, you know,
- 6:33Speaker 4: so we're sitting right there and I believe it was
- 6:35Speaker 4: about that time they go down on that two minute
- 6:37Speaker 4: drive I think at the end and score make it
- 6:39Speaker 4: fourteen to three there at half. But you know, we're
- 6:41Speaker 4: in those games that's where that's where the mindset has
- 6:44Speaker 4: to come in and it's like, guys, no, we need
- 6:46Speaker 4: to stop defensively and offense, we need to be on
- 6:49Speaker 4: the field and go down and score ourselves.
- 6:50Speaker 3: So now, now, as a coach, okay, now you're in
- 6:52Speaker 3: that position, okay where it's not happening and you have
- 6:56Speaker 3: maybe performances that don't need to be where they are.
- 7:00Speaker 3: As a coach, accountability is always, you know, one of
- 7:03Speaker 3: the most important things. What do you do as a
- 7:05Speaker 3: coach to make sure that the accountability is there in
- 7:08Speaker 3: the future going forward with your football team? I think
- 7:12Speaker 3: you know, And it's much.
- 7:14Speaker 4: It's interesting because I think coach Mayo in New England's
- 7:17Speaker 4: kind of in the same position i am. And from
- 7:19Speaker 4: the standpoint we're both one and five. And you listen
- 7:22Speaker 4: to his comments this week, and I think he's dead
- 7:23Speaker 4: on when he says, you know what, you got to
- 7:26Speaker 4: find the right eleven, right, you gotta find and it
- 7:29Speaker 4: doesn't matter who it is. You got to find the
- 7:30Speaker 4: right eleven who are gonna do the right thing every
- 7:33Speaker 4: single time, or at least at least, let's say most
- 7:35Speaker 4: of the time. Most of the time, right, there's gonna
- 7:37Speaker 4: be mistakes happened. I'm not We're not We're not perfect, right,
- 7:40Speaker 4: there's gonna be a mistake happening. But if defensively, I
- 7:43Speaker 4: got to be in the big gap, be in the
- 7:44Speaker 4: big gap, right if I'm if I'm you know, if
- 7:47Speaker 4: I'm a receiver and I need to be you know,
- 7:49Speaker 4: sixteen to eighteen yards down the field, I need to
- 7:50Speaker 4: be there, right. So you got to have that accountability
- 7:53Speaker 4: with the team, and you got to create competition with
- 7:55Speaker 4: your team because they can't feel comfortable, right I listen,
- 8:00Speaker 4: I I you, the media, the po they don't. I'm
- 8:04Speaker 4: not comfortable right now, you know. I mean my tail
- 8:07Speaker 4: is on the line, right, so I need to I
- 8:09Speaker 4: needs to carry it. Not in a pressure moment, but
- 8:11Speaker 4: you got to say, hey, guys, listen, we're in this together.
- 8:14Speaker 4: There's gonna be competition, there's gonna be accountability. If you're
- 8:18Speaker 4: not one of those eleven or one of the forty
- 8:19Speaker 4: eight on Sunday, then you got to look at yourself
- 8:22Speaker 4: too and say, hey, I gotta do better. So you're
- 8:24Speaker 4: saying there could be some changes, maybe there's a chance.
- 8:27Speaker 4: I think there's an opportunity, and I think I think
- 8:28Speaker 4: that's what you gotta do. You're always searching for for
- 8:31Speaker 4: for ways, and and you know that's one way to
- 8:33Speaker 4: do it.
- 8:34Speaker 2: Well, there's at least one because Roy Robertson Harris was
- 8:36Speaker 2: traded on Monday of the Seattle Seahawks. So who steps
- 8:40Speaker 2: into the gap? Who are young players? Who are other
- 8:42Speaker 2: players that you're looking to get something from Doug on
- 8:44Speaker 2: Sunday against New England.
- 8:45Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's you know, Roy obviously was a
- 8:47Speaker 4: big piece and a big part, and and unfortunately, I mean,
- 8:50Speaker 4: you know, that is what it is. We were heavy
- 8:54Speaker 4: at the d tackle spot. We were heavy with the
- 8:55Speaker 4: D line and this time of year, injuries start, you know,
- 9:00Speaker 4: piling up around the league and and teams are looking right.
- 9:02Speaker 4: So it's a great opportunity for Roy, unfortunately for us.
- 9:05Speaker 4: But you know, now it's a great chance for guys
- 9:09Speaker 4: like Miles Cole, right, it's it's a great chance for
- 9:12Speaker 4: Mason Smith and the Jordan Jeffersons, those young players who
- 9:15Speaker 4: we who we drafted to. Now they got to go
- 9:18Speaker 4: and they gotta play, and they gotta you know, they've
- 9:20Speaker 4: got to Okay, this this means business. Now, this is there.
- 9:23Speaker 4: They're serious. When when when stuff like this happens, right,
- 9:26Speaker 4: because the roster is constantly shaping, you know, and changing
- 9:30Speaker 4: every week, or someone like a Joe, you know, Gaziano
- 9:33Speaker 4: on the practice roster might have to be elevated, things
- 9:36Speaker 4: like DJ Coleman. So everybody has an opportunity, you know,
- 9:40Speaker 4: to win a jersey during the week, and so some
- 9:42Speaker 4: of those young players are going to have.
- 9:43Speaker 3: To do that.
- 9:43Speaker 2: There's one more I want to ask you about. You're
- 9:45Speaker 2: gonna get Tyson Campbell back. I would imagine, or get
- 9:47Speaker 2: least you very close to that. When he comes back.
- 9:49Speaker 2: You have a player who's earned playing time in Monterrey
- 9:51Speaker 2: Brown that that that's a good problem to have. It's
- 9:55Speaker 2: nice to be able to look and see a guy
- 9:56Speaker 2: that you can can counter. And I think he's one
- 9:58Speaker 2: of the better players so far.
- 10:00Speaker 4: Yeah, he's been playing really consistent football on defense. It's
- 10:03Speaker 4: great to get Tyson back his caliber of play. It's
- 10:05Speaker 4: really going to help us there on the back end.
- 10:07Speaker 4: I think too, you know, I look at Ronald Darby too,
- 10:10Speaker 4: and and and look at his role and give him
- 10:13Speaker 4: an opportunity to take a break here and there too,
- 10:15Speaker 4: and and and save him and keep him fresh. Just
- 10:17Speaker 4: like it's no different than rotating the D line, We're
- 10:20Speaker 4: keeping those guys fresh throughout the course of the game
- 10:22Speaker 4: and throughout the course of the season. Same way at linebacker.
- 10:25Speaker 4: I think this would be a great opportunity for, you know,
- 10:27Speaker 4: for Darby to to embrace that if if that's the
- 10:30Speaker 4: way the defense wants to go, because because Monterak has
- 10:32Speaker 4: definitely earned a right to play, and then it gives
- 10:36Speaker 4: you more rotational pieces on the back end as you
- 10:39Speaker 4: as you gain plan this scheme.
- 10:40Speaker 3: One position, you don't really have the flexibility yet because
- 10:43Speaker 3: Foyer is still on injury reserve, not eligible to come back.
- 10:46Speaker 3: And then over the last couple of weeks, Tanner Muse
- 10:48Speaker 3: has been activated kind of in that special team's role. Uh,
- 10:52Speaker 3: you can't do that anymore with him, and you don't
- 10:56Speaker 3: have the ability to bring Foyer back. I know that
- 10:59Speaker 3: from my eye this past couple of games, I've seen
- 11:02Speaker 3: Devin Lloyd struggled a little bit at times. I mean, so,
- 11:05Speaker 3: do you do something different possibly at that linebacking position
- 11:08Speaker 3: for this game, you know, because this game's kind of
- 11:11Speaker 3: that last opportunity before Foya comes back.
- 11:15Speaker 4: You know, again, interesting question, but you know we're probably
- 11:18Speaker 4: going in with five five get We got Anthony Pittman
- 11:20Speaker 4: sitting there, a veteran or a young player who we
- 11:22Speaker 4: brought onto our practice squad who's learning the defense and
- 11:26Speaker 4: is a really good special teams player too. So he's
- 11:28Speaker 4: another one you could you could potentially, you know, elevate.
- 11:31Speaker 4: But you know, Devin, Devin's one That's got to continue
- 11:34Speaker 4: to just keep developing and keep working. You know, it's
- 11:36Speaker 4: one of the things that you know, with with him again,
- 11:40Speaker 4: a young player kind of still I don't want to
- 11:42Speaker 4: say he's learning the position because it's been three years now,
- 11:44Speaker 4: but it is kind of a new position for him
- 11:46Speaker 4: in a way. And so you know, he's got to
- 11:49Speaker 4: continue to just study and learn and grow and and
- 11:53Speaker 4: get better. Trust his eyes. He's such a good athlete
- 11:56Speaker 4: and a good player. Sometimes he lets his his eyes
- 11:59Speaker 4: trick him and he's just got to trust his instincts.
- 12:02Speaker 4: I encouraged him the other day just to just to
- 12:04Speaker 4: do that, just to just to trust what he sees
- 12:06Speaker 4: and and believe in that and how he's being coached
- 12:09Speaker 4: and and you know, but like you said, we're you know,
- 12:12Speaker 4: we could go in with five, you know, five linebackers
- 12:14Speaker 4: for this game, and majority of them are special teams guys,
- 12:17Speaker 4: and and uh, you know Ventrel continues to grow as well.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Can I flip it up with the offensive side for
- 12:21Speaker 2: a minute. You have obviously with the travese tandle hamstring.
- 12:25Speaker 2: How do you balance the load because I know that's
- 12:27Speaker 2: been important to you not to be leaning too heavily
- 12:29Speaker 2: on one back. How does the running back position shake
- 12:31Speaker 2: out if he's not one hundred percent and can't help you.
- 12:33Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, if he can't go, then obviously Tank
- 12:35Speaker 4: has a bigger role. Uh, Dearn Deernest has a bigger
- 12:39Speaker 4: role obviously. And then you know we're sitting there with
- 12:41Speaker 4: with Jake Hunt on the on a practice squad who
- 12:43Speaker 4: who again could be could be you know, elevated as
- 12:46Speaker 4: a third running back and or a special teams player.
- 12:48Speaker 4: So you know, you start to get thin one one
- 12:52Speaker 4: one injury away from getting kind of thin. We'll see
- 12:54Speaker 4: where etn is Travis is at the end of the week.
- 12:56Speaker 4: But you know that's that's what it is. And you
- 12:59Speaker 4: go and and then you know you got to rely
- 13:01Speaker 4: on your on your quarterback and maybe your four tight
- 13:03Speaker 4: ends and do some things there too. But you know,
- 13:07Speaker 4: Tank has shown that he can handle the load I think,
- 13:10Speaker 4: and you know, we'll we'll try to load him up
- 13:13Speaker 4: as much as we can.
- 13:14Speaker 3: You talked about your quarterback. A lot of people, you know,
- 13:17Speaker 3: want to say, oh, you lost the game. Quarterback didn't
- 13:19Speaker 3: play very well. I thought he played pretty good. Not perfect, okay,
- 13:23Speaker 3: but pretty good. You missed the one throw the drops?
- 13:26Speaker 3: So how do you as a coach kind of and
- 13:30Speaker 3: because I mean you're talking about, you know, a veteran group,
- 13:32Speaker 3: with the exception of Brian, how do you coach a
- 13:36Speaker 3: team to get over the drops? I mean, and that's
- 13:39Speaker 3: probably the hardest thing in the world to do, because
- 13:41Speaker 3: I mean you just go, hey, guys, we got to
- 13:43Speaker 3: catch the ball. But I mean, is there something that
- 13:45Speaker 3: you can do to kind of bring the focus and hey, look,
- 13:49Speaker 3: we've got to make those plays.
- 13:51Speaker 4: Well, you got to show them. You got to show
- 13:53Speaker 4: them on tape obviously, But then you have to go
- 13:56Speaker 4: back in practice, right, you have to in your individual
- 13:59Speaker 4: periods or or when there's opportunities to throw. You know,
- 14:03Speaker 4: with Trevor, you get with Trevor and you just keep throwing.
- 14:06Speaker 4: Get on a jugs machine before practice, after practice, where
- 14:09Speaker 4: you're constantly trying to focus on the ball, focus on
- 14:12Speaker 4: the tip of the ball. Do whatever you can, you know,
- 14:15Speaker 4: distraction drills, all kinds of things that you can work
- 14:18Speaker 4: on as a receiver to to try to minimize drop.
- 14:21Speaker 4: Are they going to happen. They're gonna happen, but but
- 14:24Speaker 4: they're kind of happening for us at an alarming rate.
- 14:26Speaker 4: And that's you know, in order for us to have
- 14:28Speaker 4: success and stay on the field, particularly a third down,
- 14:30Speaker 4: red zone, you got to make those catches.
- 14:32Speaker 3: Because I'm not just a dumb defensive guy. I mean, you.
- 14:37Speaker 4: Don't worry about the just rush the paster.
- 14:41Speaker 2: Hey, we spend so much time the last couple of
- 14:42Speaker 2: weeks talking about what you have to fix, what isn't
- 14:45Speaker 2: working when you watch the tape, when you're on the
- 14:47Speaker 2: practice field, What are two or three things that are working.
- 14:50Speaker 2: What are things that give you reason to believe this
- 14:52Speaker 2: team can turn this around?
- 14:53Speaker 4: Well, I think I think the number one thing, and
- 14:55Speaker 4: this is you see it on the film, you know,
- 14:57Speaker 4: and you see it is one the efforts there right
- 15:00Speaker 4: that nobody's quitting, nobody's shutting down. Even though I know
- 15:02Speaker 4: what Cisco said and all that, but I don't believe that.
- 15:04Speaker 4: I don't believe guys are quitting and shutting it down,
- 15:06Speaker 4: So that's that's a positive. I think the way we
- 15:08Speaker 4: started the game last week, we started, you know fast
- 15:11Speaker 4: on defense, got a three and out, offense goes down. Sure,
- 15:14Speaker 4: we dropped a passing the end zone, but you know,
- 15:16Speaker 4: we got the three points and you take the lead.
- 15:18Speaker 4: And those are some positives right there. And then there's
- 15:21Speaker 4: I think our offensive line plays improved. I think there's
- 15:24Speaker 4: some some good double team blocks. We're coming off the
- 15:26Speaker 4: ball a little bit better, you know that way. I
- 15:28Speaker 4: think I think two when you look at it from
- 15:32Speaker 4: a secondary standpoint, there's there's we play a lot of
- 15:35Speaker 4: match or man type coverages. There's not a lot of
- 15:37Speaker 4: when you look at the big picture, and not a
- 15:39Speaker 4: lot of places to throw the football. Now, we have
- 15:42Speaker 4: to get the pass rush better. But but I think
- 15:44Speaker 4: that secondary with some young players, we're still making some
- 15:48Speaker 4: young critical errors back there. But I think there's some
- 15:51Speaker 4: positive to to continue, you know, to to work on.
- 15:54Speaker 4: So you know, it's it's bt being able to get
- 15:58Speaker 4: down the field, get hind the defense. Those are all
- 16:01Speaker 4: successful things and we've got to continue to to find
- 16:04Speaker 4: ways to do that. And you know, I do think
- 16:07Speaker 4: I do think our tight ends. I think our tight
- 16:08Speaker 4: ends have been playing I have been playing well. Evan
- 16:10Speaker 4: had a you know, a big game coming back last week.
- 16:12Speaker 4: I know he had the big you know fumble there
- 16:14Speaker 4: to start the third quarter. But I think that's a
- 16:17Speaker 4: positive too that we can continue to lean on.
- 16:19Speaker 3: By the way, I got to throw this out there
- 16:21Speaker 3: because Brenton Strange might be my favorite football player. I mean,
- 16:25Speaker 3: the guy plays he plays it right. He plays it
- 16:28Speaker 3: like a defensive mentality. I mean, just I'm on to
- 16:30Speaker 3: bury a guy. I'm going to finish. I mean, I
- 16:32Speaker 3: just I love watching him. Yeah, he plays the game right.
- 16:35Speaker 4: And and on that Trevor scramble, I mean he turned
- 16:38Speaker 4: and he wheels on the on the nickel there it
- 16:39Speaker 4: was as the block and.
- 16:41Speaker 3: It is whistle to whistle guy.
- 16:43Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 16:43Speaker 3: Anyway, looking ahead with the New England Patriots up, what
- 16:47Speaker 3: do you see with them as being the most challenging
- 16:50Speaker 3: thing with the Patriots.
- 16:51Speaker 4: Well, I think the number one thing is obviously their defense.
- 16:54Speaker 4: I think their defense is good. It's a typical New
- 16:58Speaker 4: England Patriots style of defense. They're gonna give you multiple fronts.
- 17:01Speaker 4: It's it's it's game plan week to week. So you
- 17:03Speaker 4: never know, they do a great job of matching, you know,
- 17:06Speaker 4: dbs with receivers, so you know we might see some
- 17:09Speaker 4: some matching there. You know, DB's traveling with our guys
- 17:13Speaker 4: and and really you know, I know they got a
- 17:16Speaker 4: young quarterback and then they're working through some things there.
- 17:18Speaker 4: But but you know, you just can't let this this
- 17:22Speaker 4: kid get started. And and they're gonna rely on the
- 17:24Speaker 4: run game, you know, I think screens some play action
- 17:26Speaker 4: stuff and you know, still a dangerous football team, very
- 17:29Speaker 4: typical you know, New England kind of esque, very disciplined group,
- 17:34Speaker 4: you know, and and you know coach Mayo has them,
- 17:37Speaker 4: has them playing hard and and that's that's what you
- 17:39Speaker 4: see on film.
- 17:40Speaker 2: All right, just one quick thought of getting hot, right,
- 17:43Speaker 2: I mean, I know everyone looks at one in five
- 17:45Speaker 2: and says, well, they can't do anything right. They're won
- 17:48Speaker 2: in five. Last year, you're eight in three and you
- 17:51Speaker 2: finished one in five. You started one in five. So
- 17:53Speaker 2: there's a possibility to be strong finish if what happens.
- 17:56Speaker 4: I think if we just focus internally, honestly, I think
- 17:59Speaker 4: it's that focus on accountability, just like the players are
- 18:01Speaker 4: talking about. If we do that, eliminate some of the
- 18:04Speaker 4: mental layers in the game. Take advantage I think offensively,
- 18:07Speaker 4: take advantage of what's there. Then you know, like I
- 18:12Speaker 4: told the team, we can't get all four back in
- 18:16Speaker 4: one game, right, but we can slowly get one back
- 18:19Speaker 4: this week and the next week and just methodically move
- 18:21Speaker 4: throughout the season. So let's just focus on that, stay
- 18:24Speaker 4: focused internally, don't listen to the outside noise, and just
- 18:27Speaker 4: go to work and play passive.
- 18:28Speaker 2: Look at Wembley on Sunday against the Pacriots.
- 18:30Speaker 3: Doug, thank you.
- 18:31Speaker 2: And this is the Doug Peterson Show, presented by Fresh
- 18:33Speaker 2: from Florida and it's presented on the Jaguars Radio Network
- 18:36Speaker 2: by the University of Florida. And we're back after this
- 18:38Speaker 2: on the Jaguars Radio Network.
- 18:43Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
- 18:49Speaker 2: And welcome back to the Grove Outside of London. Brian
- 18:53Speaker 2: Sexton in for JP Shadwick along with Jeff Logoman Jaguars
- 18:56Speaker 2: one in five heading to Wembley Stadium on Sunday for
- 18:59Speaker 2: a showdown with the Patriot's. Patriots have lost five consecutive games,
- 19:03Speaker 2: They've got a rookie quarterback. How do you think the
- 19:09Speaker 2: coach is approaching that well.
- 19:12Speaker 3: I can tell you this watching the New England Patriots film.
- 19:15Speaker 3: I mean, that's a team that's really struggling, okay, and
- 19:17Speaker 3: then when you listen to their head coach, Drod Mayo,
- 19:20Speaker 3: he starts talking about evaluation building. I mean when anytime
- 19:24Speaker 3: a coach is using those words, then you kind of
- 19:28Speaker 3: understand where they're at, right and that's where they're at.
- 19:31Speaker 2: So Doug seems to be working to keep his energy
- 19:36Speaker 2: level up. One in five not easy, no, and you've
- 19:40Speaker 2: experienced it. I've experienced it with this team many times,
- 19:43Speaker 2: the ninth one in five beginning in the Jaguars thirty
- 19:45Speaker 2: years so we know a little something about it. But
- 19:47Speaker 2: when you're responsible for not just yourself as a player,
- 19:50Speaker 2: you're responsible for yourself but also the coaching staff and
- 19:53Speaker 2: the support staff, it's a heavy burden.
- 19:55Speaker 3: And I think as a coach it's very challenging because
- 19:59Speaker 3: I think the psyche of a losing team is very fragile.
- 20:03Speaker 3: I mean, just like Trevor talked about it, you know,
- 20:05Speaker 3: we're fragile. We haven't been able to overcome any kind
- 20:08Speaker 3: of adversity in a ballgame. Well, I think also a
- 20:11Speaker 3: team can be fragile with their psyche when it comes
- 20:15Speaker 3: to keeping the attention, keeping the focus, the effort, and
- 20:19Speaker 3: everything else. And to go back to what Doug mentioned
- 20:23Speaker 3: about Cisco and was Andre Cisco right and that this
- 20:27Speaker 3: team quit. I don't believe that they quit, But I
- 20:29Speaker 3: also believe at the opposite side of that that there
- 20:33Speaker 3: could have been cases of better effort. Okay, it definitely
- 20:36Speaker 3: could have been cases of better effort in that ballgame
- 20:38Speaker 3: and better execution. And sometimes as a player, it feels
- 20:43Speaker 3: like your team quit, but in reality, it's not a
- 20:47Speaker 3: matter of quitting. It's a matter of execution and energy
- 20:50Speaker 3: and everything else that kind of comes along with winning football,
- 20:53Speaker 3: which they don't have right now.
- 20:54Speaker 2: All right, I want to dive into that execution side
- 20:56Speaker 2: of it, but I got to go back to the
- 20:58Speaker 2: fragility part real quick. To me, when Gave Davis dropped
- 21:02Speaker 2: that ball right first and goal from the eight yard line,
- 21:05Speaker 2: he jumps off sides on first down, so you get
- 21:07Speaker 2: to third and goal from you the nine or ten
- 21:10Speaker 2: and travel through a beautiful pass. I mean, they're about
- 21:14Speaker 2: to overcome the mistakes. And they had two offside penalties
- 21:17Speaker 2: inside the red zone on that drive, and they're about
- 21:20Speaker 2: to overcome it. Yes, overcome the obstacle, the adversity that
- 21:23Speaker 2: they hadn't been able to and he drops the ball
- 21:25Speaker 2: and I thought, at that moment, they're probably not going
- 21:28Speaker 2: to win.
- 21:28Speaker 3: This game today. Yeah, And I think when when plays
- 21:31Speaker 3: like that continue to happen. Okay, you drop a touchdown pass,
- 21:35Speaker 3: or let's say you get a defensive penalty that extends
- 21:39Speaker 3: the drive of the opponent, or you have another drop touchdown,
- 21:43Speaker 3: or you have an underthrown ball. I mean, all of
- 21:45Speaker 3: these things with a losing football team really impacts their
- 21:49Speaker 3: psyche and it makes them fragile, It makes them not
- 21:52Speaker 3: as mentally tough to fight through it, and then this
- 21:56Speaker 3: football team has got to clean it up. If they
- 21:57Speaker 3: don't clean it up, they're not going to win. And
- 21:59Speaker 3: that's one of the reasons when we were talking to Doug,
- 22:01Speaker 3: I asked him about accountability. I mean, because in players speak,
- 22:05Speaker 3: the only way that you make players and teams accountable.
- 22:09Speaker 3: You can't take it away out of their pocketbook because
- 22:11Speaker 3: the money's just too big nowadays. You can't say, oh,
- 22:14Speaker 3: you know what, we're gonna sit you for for practice
- 22:18Speaker 3: today and you know you're we're gonna let somebody else
- 22:20Speaker 3: take some practice reps. You got to take away their playtime.
- 22:22Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's what impacts players. If somebody's not
- 22:25Speaker 3: playing well, okay, you take away their playtime. Okay. And
- 22:30Speaker 3: even if the option that's behind that player is not
- 22:33Speaker 3: as good, you still have to do it.
- 22:36Speaker 2: You have to send the message.
- 22:37Speaker 3: And it's not so much sending a message, Brian, as
- 22:40Speaker 3: it's making players accountable, okay. And I think sometimes people
- 22:44Speaker 3: get a little off about sending the message, and because
- 22:47Speaker 3: that's not the purpose. The purpose is is to get
- 22:50Speaker 3: your team better. It's not about sending a message.
- 22:53Speaker 2: And I do agree with you on that, but you
- 22:55Speaker 2: do when somebody loses playing time, it does. It doesn't
- 22:58Speaker 2: go unnoticed right by other players who maybe you're not
- 23:00Speaker 2: getting it up.
- 23:01Speaker 3: But the purpose of it isn't to send the message,
- 23:03Speaker 3: but it's actually it happens. I mean, we're both on
- 23:05Speaker 3: the same page. Both both on the same page here,
- 23:08Speaker 3: and I think you know, in a couple of cases,
- 23:10Speaker 3: I mean, if if Gabe Davis is dropping touchdown passes,
- 23:14Speaker 3: then you know what, Parker Washington might have to get
- 23:16Speaker 3: some more reps. Okay, If Devin Lloyd is missing a
- 23:19Speaker 3: coverage on defense. Then you know what, in some situations
- 23:22Speaker 3: when maybe you end up going to a single linebacker
- 23:24Speaker 3: on the field and you don't have any any other option,
- 23:26Speaker 3: maybe you play somebody else for a little bit.
- 23:29Speaker 2: In the offseason, when the Jaguars signed a couple of
- 23:31Speaker 2: veteran free agents, part of the reason they were brought
- 23:34Speaker 2: in was to impact the locker room and help take
- 23:37Speaker 2: a young team to the next level. When we come back,
- 23:39Speaker 2: I want to talk about some of those guys and
- 23:41Speaker 2: guys you think can lead by example, can impact the
- 23:47Speaker 2: mental toughness of this team. This is the Doug Peterson Show,
- 23:50Speaker 2: Live from Kind of Life from the Grove outside London,
- 23:54Speaker 2: Ryan Sexton along with Jeff Logiman, and we're back after
- 23:57Speaker 2: this on Jaguars Radio.
- 24:03Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Dog Peterson Show continues right now. Well.
- 24:10Speaker 2: Zipchair is furniture for fans. Check out their fully customizable
- 24:15Speaker 2: line Jaguars furniture by visiting zipchair dot com. Doug Peterson Show,
- 24:20Speaker 2: Who's brought to you on the Jaguars Radio Network by
- 24:23Speaker 2: the University of Florida. Ryan Sexton along with Jeff Logman
- 24:26Speaker 2: and has promised I want to go back to some
- 24:28Speaker 2: of those players that Doug and Trent talked about bringing
- 24:31Speaker 2: in in the offseason as guys who've been there, done that,
- 24:34Speaker 2: and could help a team that didn't finish strong last year.
- 24:39Speaker 2: Eric Armstead Mitch Morse gave Davis those are the three
- 24:43Speaker 2: guys that stand out the most as being guys who
- 24:46Speaker 2: were brought in the only one who strikes me he's
- 24:48Speaker 2: playing well enough right now to be able to stand
- 24:50Speaker 2: up and say this is how we do it is
- 24:53Speaker 2: Mitch Morris.
- 24:54Speaker 3: I would agree with that. Okay, I would agree with that,
- 24:56Speaker 3: and Mitch might be your most consistent, best performing offensive lineman.
- 25:01Speaker 3: You could make the argument for that. Gabe Davis is
- 25:05Speaker 3: shocking to me. I mean, I thought that he would
- 25:09Speaker 3: be a perfect fit for this offense, and I still
- 25:11Speaker 3: believe he can be that. But he's just got to
- 25:14Speaker 3: start performing better. I mean, bottom line business.
- 25:16Speaker 2: You see anything in particular that you think he has
- 25:19Speaker 2: to do better.
- 25:20Speaker 3: To catch the ball? I mean, in reality, if he
- 25:22Speaker 3: just catches the ball, if he makes the catches that
- 25:25Speaker 3: have been there for him, he's exceeding expectations I think
- 25:29Speaker 3: with this offense, and I think he fits the offense
- 25:33Speaker 3: in a perfect way because he gives them another option
- 25:37Speaker 3: at getting deep. Brian Thomas is the guy that's going
- 25:39Speaker 3: to run by people, and Gabe is the guy that's
- 25:42Speaker 3: going to be crafty that can get deep. But he's
- 25:44Speaker 3: just got to catch the ball. And until he starts
- 25:47Speaker 3: catching the ball, I mean, you can't have that impact
- 25:50Speaker 3: that you were expected to have coming in. And Eric
- 25:54Speaker 3: Armstead has just been average at best.
- 25:56Speaker 2: Is he got a position?
- 25:58Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I mean I'm trying to figure out why
- 26:02Speaker 3: he's playing defensive end. Look, he's been a defensive tackle,
- 26:08Speaker 3: you know, a really good one the bulk of his career.
- 26:11Speaker 3: And I know that. You know, he's coming back from
- 26:13Speaker 3: a knee so I mean that may have something to
- 26:15Speaker 3: do with it. But when you watch him at defensive tackle,
- 26:20Speaker 3: he is more impactful than when he is at plane edge.
- 26:23Speaker 3: And I use the term edge because edge encompasses everything
- 26:27Speaker 3: that could be a defensive end or an outside linebacker.
- 26:31Speaker 2: And uh, he says he has the explosiveness.
- 26:33Speaker 3: Off he Well, you know, here's the thing that I
- 26:35Speaker 3: would say, and look, I like him as a player
- 26:38Speaker 3: as a defensive tackle, but the whole concept of the
- 26:42Speaker 3: position is in the name edge. Okay, edge, what does
- 26:46Speaker 3: that mean? Well, it means you're on the edge and
- 26:47Speaker 3: you can threaten the edge of an offensive tackle. And
- 26:51Speaker 3: if you don't have the speed to be able to
- 26:53Speaker 3: threaten the edge of an offensive tackle, then you're just
- 26:57Speaker 3: a defensive tackle playing on the outside. You're not an edge.
- 27:00Speaker 2: So give me one guy that you think can by
- 27:03Speaker 2: his play, stand in the locker room and lead right now,
- 27:07Speaker 2: right now.
- 27:07Speaker 3: I mean, Josh Heines Allen has been consistent all along.
- 27:10Speaker 3: Brian Thomas Junior has been consistent for the most part
- 27:12Speaker 3: all along, besides the drop that he had this past game.
- 27:15Speaker 3: You know, so you know, but I mean it's it's
- 27:17Speaker 3: kind of hard to figure out. You know. The offensive
- 27:19Speaker 3: line been pretty good. I thought even Aser Cleveland's been
- 27:22Speaker 3: playing pretty consistent the last few weeks.
- 27:24Speaker 2: And of course your favorite, Brenton Strange.
- 27:26Speaker 3: I love them. I love them. I mean eighty five.
- 27:29Speaker 3: I'm serious. I'm gonna get me an eighty five jersey.
- 27:33Speaker 2: I've never heard you say that. I will years I've
- 27:35Speaker 2: known you.
- 27:35Speaker 3: If there's one guy from this football team that I
- 27:38Speaker 3: would wear his jersey, it would be Brenton Strange. I
- 27:40Speaker 3: love them.
- 27:40Speaker 2: They better be loading those up at the pro shop, folks.
- 27:42Speaker 2: Get yours today, Brenton Strange, a guy to watch. On Sunday,
- 27:47Speaker 2: We'll be back with more of the Doug Peterson Show
- 27:49Speaker 2: from the grove outside London. And you were listening to
- 27:52Speaker 2: the Doug Peterson Show on the jack Wars Radio Network.
- 27:59Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Dumb Peterson Show continues right now.
- 28:05Speaker 2: Head, We're back on the Jaguars Radio Network presented by

- 28:25Speaker 3: Why is it that I have a real hunger for
- 28:27Speaker 3: potato chips right now?
- 28:29Speaker 2: Really?
- 28:29Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know what it is. I mean, just
- 28:31Speaker 3: for some reason, I just you know, I'm really hungry
- 28:34Speaker 3: potato chuck crisps here, And maybe it's because the guys
- 28:37Speaker 3: behind the cameras are eating potato chips right now.
- 28:40Speaker 2: So what you're saying is you should share, right bring
- 28:42Speaker 2: it on out.
- 28:43Speaker 3: That's great.
- 28:44Speaker 2: Hey, we had what I thought was an insightful conversation
- 28:47Speaker 2: with the head coach at the top of the show
- 28:49Speaker 2: about the secondary Tyson Campbell will return on Sunday. At
- 28:52Speaker 2: least seems like he's going to be back on the
- 28:53Speaker 2: field on Sunday. And there's a bit of a domino
- 28:56Speaker 2: effect that gives you some leverage. Boy, I think Monterrek
- 28:58Speaker 2: Brown's a guy that needs to be on the field.
- 29:00Speaker 3: Well, I do, And but I will point this out
- 29:03Speaker 3: that Montera had a bust and coverage his past game,
- 29:05Speaker 3: so he's not without some guilt in the loss. And
- 29:08Speaker 3: then he also had an opportunity to come up and
- 29:10Speaker 3: make a play and make a tackle and he kind
- 29:12Speaker 3: of turned it down, you know. I mean, so you know,
- 29:15Speaker 3: he has to be better as well. But you know,
- 29:17Speaker 3: when Doug was kind of answering the question about Tyson,
- 29:20Speaker 3: he kind of freely offered that, hey, maybe baby Darby needs,
- 29:24Speaker 3: you know, some some rest and games like we've been
- 29:27Speaker 3: doing with other positions. And that tells me right there
- 29:29Speaker 3: that Montery Brown's coming go over and get more reps.
- 29:32Speaker 3: And you know, and it's the head coach being nice
- 29:34Speaker 3: about saying that, you know, And the reality is is that, look,
- 29:37Speaker 3: Darby had two interference calls as passed the game drive
- 29:40Speaker 3: that kept a drive alive. And by the way, let
- 29:41Speaker 3: me just go to that drive for a minute, okay,
- 29:43Speaker 3: because you know what, you just scored on offense and
- 29:46Speaker 3: you ended up closing the gap to what was it?
- 29:49Speaker 2: And then and then Alan and Walker give you two
- 29:51Speaker 2: sacks in three plays and you're gonna get it back,
- 29:54Speaker 2: I'm saying.
- 29:55Speaker 3: And on that drive you had the two penalties on Darby, okay,
- 30:00Speaker 3: and then on top of that, your run defense was
- 30:04Speaker 3: not good. You're out of gaps and Swift ends up
- 30:08Speaker 3: running for I think fifty four yards on five carries,
- 30:11Speaker 3: you know, And I mean that was like a four
- 30:14Speaker 3: minute not a four minute offense by the Chicago Bears.
- 30:17Speaker 3: That was run perfectly. And you will talk about sucking
- 30:19Speaker 3: the life out of a team for a game. I
- 30:21Speaker 3: mean again, you know that goes to are you fragile
- 30:26Speaker 3: or are you just not making enough plays to keep
- 30:29Speaker 3: momentum or to create momentum for your own football team?
- 30:32Speaker 3: But that drive would It made me so angry. And
- 30:35Speaker 3: then I watched the film on it for the last
- 30:37Speaker 3: couple of days again it made me angry again. It's like, guys,
- 30:40Speaker 3: come on, this is where you've got to be better.
- 30:43Speaker 2: That was what set me off on Jaguars AM earlier
- 30:45Speaker 2: this week. That moment you come out of the halftime
- 30:48Speaker 2: and you have the turnover and you give up a touchdown,
- 30:50Speaker 2: you're down twenty one to three, and the quarterback makes
- 30:53Speaker 2: a great throw and get you back to twenty one
- 30:55Speaker 2: to ten, and then Josh Heinz Allen and Trey Von
- 30:58Speaker 2: Walker come up with two big plays and twelve men
- 31:02Speaker 2: on the field. I mean, it just you.
- 31:04Speaker 5: And that's what the twelve men is on coaches, I
- 31:06Speaker 5: get that, ye I mean as a coaching staff, Okay,
- 31:10Speaker 5: going into the game, and I'll pour down a couple
- 31:12Speaker 5: of things that I'll I'll kind of pin on the
- 31:13Speaker 5: coaches just from my perspective.
- 31:15Speaker 3: Number One, twelve minute on the field is always coaching.
- 31:18Speaker 3: And so when you're trying to do substitution change on
- 31:21Speaker 3: an offense that's running a little bit of tempo, you
- 31:23Speaker 3: have to have an awareness that, hey, look when we
- 31:26Speaker 3: do this, Okay, the guy that's running onto the field,
- 31:28Speaker 3: he needs to get his tail out on the field
- 31:30Speaker 3: and get lined up. But then the guy also that's
- 31:32Speaker 3: coming out needs to get his tail off the field.
- 31:34Speaker 3: And Von Hamilton was the twelfth guy who, by the way,
- 31:37Speaker 3: could have been running a little bit faster to get
- 31:39Speaker 3: off film. I'm not saying he was loafing, but it
- 31:42Speaker 3: wasn't a full blown sprint. And somebody's got to be saying,
- 31:46Speaker 3: role brother, let's go, you know, get off the field.
- 31:49Speaker 2: So that drives.
- 31:51Speaker 3: That was disappointing.
- 31:52Speaker 2: Wherever this season ends, I think that drive is when
- 31:55Speaker 2: we will talk about next off season.
- 31:57Speaker 3: Well, and let me point one other thing that I
- 31:59Speaker 3: put on coaching. You know, the ball was on the
- 32:01Speaker 3: grass four times in that ball is turf. Okay, wasn't grass,
- 32:05Speaker 3: but it looks like grass. Four times the Chicago Bears
- 32:08Speaker 3: punched the ball out in the game. One of them
- 32:10Speaker 3: ended up getting overturned because etn they ruled it not
- 32:12Speaker 3: a fumble. But then you only lost the one. It
- 32:15Speaker 3: doesn't matter. You still had the ball on the turf
- 32:17Speaker 3: four times, and against a team that you knew was
- 32:20Speaker 3: going to they do the Charles Peanut Tillman punch out thing.
- 32:23Speaker 3: Have some more awareness, protect the ball.
- 32:24Speaker 2: Better awareness, accountability, focus the keywords this week around the
- 32:28Speaker 2: Grove outside London. We're back after this on Jack Wars Radio.
- 32:38Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
- 32:43Speaker 2: All right, the Doug Peterson Show presented by Fresh from
- 32:46Speaker 2: Florida from the Grove in London, Bryan Sexton along with
- 32:49Speaker 2: Jeff Logman. Second straight week, the Jaguars will here a
- 32:53Speaker 2: rookie quarterback. This one not quite the same as as
- 32:57Speaker 2: Caleb Williams and the Patriots aren't quite the same team
- 33:00Speaker 2: as you alluded to, no as the Bears. Whatd you
- 33:02Speaker 2: see from him on tape? Three touchdown passes last week,
- 33:05Speaker 2: two interceptions.
- 33:05Speaker 3: On their loss on first full I'm glad he's a
- 33:07Speaker 3: third overall pick because Trevor has not had a win
- 33:10Speaker 3: against a first overall pick. You know, just kind of
- 33:13Speaker 3: joking there. But May's a you know, athletic, He's got
- 33:17Speaker 3: a big arm. The reports are that he's smart. The
- 33:22Speaker 3: thing that impressed me in that ballgame is the Patriots
- 33:25Speaker 3: offensive line is in shambles, and but yet he fought
- 33:30Speaker 3: through the entire game and stayed in the pocket as
- 33:34Speaker 3: best he could to end up having the most passing
- 33:38Speaker 3: yards that the Patriots have had all year long. And
- 33:41Speaker 3: for a quarterback in a position for the Patriots that
- 33:44Speaker 3: has been under duress almost the entire season, that's impressive.
- 33:47Speaker 2: Well, they only had two touchdown passes in their first
- 33:49Speaker 2: five games total, and he had three, So that tells
- 33:51Speaker 2: you they're more efficient.
- 33:52Speaker 3: Here's the crazy thing the Patriots offensive line. Six games,
- 33:57Speaker 3: they've had six different starting combinations offensive line. Wow, okay,
- 34:01Speaker 3: and that's hard to play winning football when you have that.
- 34:04Speaker 3: And it gets even better. You know, the one position
- 34:07Speaker 3: that you would like to have stability at when you
- 34:10Speaker 3: have a young rookie quarterback gives the center position, right, yeah,
- 34:13Speaker 3: I mean you know there telling me they have it.
- 34:15Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 34:16Speaker 3: No, So they had David Andrews for a long time.
- 34:20Speaker 3: David Andrews gets hurt in Week four and then a
- 34:23Speaker 3: guy by the name of Nick Leverett ends up finishing
- 34:26Speaker 3: Game four and then starts Game five and he's he's
- 34:29Speaker 3: horrendous in Game five. So last week the Patriots end
- 34:34Speaker 3: up signing a guy, Ben Brown off of the Las
- 34:37Speaker 3: Vegas Raiders practice squad. On a Thursday, he flies to
- 34:41Speaker 3: New England practices Friday, practices Saturday. They start him on
- 34:46Speaker 3: a Sunday. He played well, But I mean, is that
- 34:50Speaker 3: not that's crazy bold and that you you're getting ready
- 34:54Speaker 3: to start a third overall pick quarterback. He's going to
- 34:56Speaker 3: get his first career start. You're going to put him
- 34:59Speaker 3: with a who has been with your team for two days. Brian,
- 35:03Speaker 3: think about that time.
- 35:04Speaker 2: Now that you put it like that, that's it speaks well.
- 35:07Speaker 3: Of Mays and that that's exactly right. First of all,
- 35:11Speaker 3: I mean, how much do you think of your quarterback
- 35:13Speaker 3: when you're willing to put him out on the field
- 35:15Speaker 3: with the center that's been there two days and you
- 35:17Speaker 3: really don't know about But the Patriots offensive line, to
- 35:20Speaker 3: go back to the original point, is that it's in
- 35:22Speaker 3: shambles and it's gonna be I think, even in worst
- 35:26Speaker 3: shape this week because their best offensive lineman, Viderian Lowe
- 35:30Speaker 3: left tackle, ended up hurting an ankle like the twelfth
- 35:33Speaker 3: play of the game this past week against the Houston Texans,
- 35:36Speaker 3: So they may end up having their seventh offensive line
- 35:40Speaker 3: combination in as many weeks.
- 35:42Speaker 2: I wonder if that guy is with them this weekend, London,
- 35:44Speaker 2: whoever's gonna start?
- 35:45Speaker 3: I mean, if you're Drake may look, I mean, you'd
- 35:50Speaker 3: like to have a little consistency up front. And here's
- 35:52Speaker 3: the other thing. They don't have a running game to
- 35:54Speaker 3: go with them.
- 35:54Speaker 2: All right, So Mason Smith Jordan Jefferson get more time
- 35:57Speaker 2: this week can they Can they show something against this group.
- 36:00Speaker 3: I think Jordan Jefferson is playing pretty good. I think
- 36:05Speaker 3: he can actually take some snaps from Devon Hamilton, whose
- 36:08Speaker 3: play has been average at best, and that's being nice.
- 36:12Speaker 3: Mason Smith has got to find the ball and has
- 36:15Speaker 3: got to play faster than he's playing right now. For
- 36:17Speaker 3: a second round pick. I mean, you should have a
- 36:19Speaker 3: starting caliber player, and I'm not saying that he can't
- 36:22Speaker 3: get there, but right now he's not anywhere near that.
- 36:24Speaker 2: All right, you are listening to The Doug Peterson Show,
- 36:27Speaker 2: and we've got more from the Grove outside London in
- 36:29Speaker 2: advance of the Jaguars matchup with the Patriots coming up
- 36:33Speaker 2: at Wembley Stadium on Sunday, and we'll return with more
- 36:36Speaker 2: after this on the Jaguars Radio Network, presented by the
- 36:39Speaker 2: University of Florida.
- 36:44Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
- 36:49Speaker 2: Our show is presented as always by Fresh from Florida.
- 36:52Speaker 2: Brian and Jeff with you from the Grove, and we'll
- 36:54Speaker 2: flip it around and take a little bit of a
- 36:56Speaker 2: a gander at the Patriots.
- 37:01Speaker 3: And a try hard group. You know, I don't think
- 37:04Speaker 3: it's the most talented group. There's a couple of guys
- 37:08Speaker 3: that I think are pretty good football players. Map, who
- 37:11Speaker 3: wears number fifteen. He's one of the biggest safeties I
- 37:13Speaker 3: think in the league. Does a lot around that box,
- 37:16Speaker 3: and I think he will make it challenging for the
- 37:18Speaker 3: Jaguars to run the football a little bit with Tank Bigsby.
- 37:22Speaker 3: Could I expect Tank to kind of have to carry
- 37:24Speaker 3: the load a little bit with the injury to Etn
- 37:27Speaker 3: On the outside. Christian Gonzales was a guy that I
- 37:31Speaker 3: really liked watching his college.
- 37:32Speaker 2: Film Wonnerback for Morgan.
- 37:33Speaker 3: Yeah, I got great hips, competitive, will travel with the
- 37:38Speaker 3: better wide receivers, and I don't know if there's anybody
- 37:42Speaker 3: in the league that's got the speed to keep up
- 37:44Speaker 3: with Brian Thomas. Junior Jalen Johnson, who they placed last week,
- 37:48Speaker 3: I think is one of the corners that can. But
- 37:51Speaker 3: I think that that will be a test and see
- 37:54Speaker 3: what they do with him against Brian.
- 37:55Speaker 2: When you watch this Patriots defense, do you see the
- 37:57Speaker 2: hallmarks of Bill Belichi defensive scheme and Rod Mayo obviously
- 38:02Speaker 2: played and coached with Belichick. Is this something similar?
- 38:05Speaker 3: Yeah? It is, and it if you'll go back to
- 38:07Speaker 3: what Doug talked about. He said, you know, they play
- 38:10Speaker 3: a lot of different things on defense. I mean that
- 38:12Speaker 3: was classic Bill Belichick. You know, Belichick was a master
- 38:15Speaker 3: of Okay, He's got this shelf of game plans and
- 38:19Speaker 3: then they'll say there's like fifteen twenty different books. You know,
- 38:22Speaker 3: each week he just you know, will close his eyes
- 38:25Speaker 3: and then just grab one in whichever one he pulls down,
- 38:27Speaker 3: that's what he wants to do. So he keeps offenses
- 38:30Speaker 3: very off balance. And Mayo has learned from him. You know,
- 38:33Speaker 3: his entire coaching and playing career has been with Bill Belichick.
- 38:37Speaker 3: So that's the system that he knows. Now I understand
- 38:40Speaker 3: that they have a defensive coordinator of this last name's Covington. Okay,
- 38:43Speaker 3: but look that's girod Mayo's defense. I mean, when you're
- 38:45Speaker 3: the head coach and that's your specialty, that's your defense.
- 38:48Speaker 2: I once heard a story from a coach who had
- 38:50Speaker 2: been on Bill Belichick's staff who said that game planning
- 38:53Speaker 2: with Bill was like, Okay, here's the Cleveland game from
- 38:55Speaker 2: two thousand and two. There's our offense, and here's the
- 38:58Speaker 2: Steelers game from two thousand and eight. Theirs our defense.
- 39:00Speaker 2: Here's the special team's plan from the the Rams game
- 39:03Speaker 2: in twenty twelve. We're gonna go with this.
- 39:05Speaker 3: And he's not doing it in a random fashion. No,
- 39:07Speaker 3: you know exactly what he knows, exactly what he wanted
- 39:11Speaker 3: as a coach. And you know, look now towards the end,
- 39:13Speaker 3: Bill Belichick wasn't great.
- 39:16Speaker 2: Brady had something to do with that.
- 39:17Speaker 3: Well, I mean Tom Brady had something to do with
- 39:19Speaker 3: it also, but you know Bill's lack of ability to
- 39:22Speaker 3: be really good at talent evaluation. And then also what
- 39:25Speaker 3: he did with the New England Patriots offense after Tom
- 39:28Speaker 3: Brady left, you know, as far as what the offensive
- 39:30Speaker 3: coaches was just, you know, it failed miserably.
- 39:33Speaker 2: Brought Mac Jones in here to tell us a little
- 39:34Speaker 2: bit about it.
- 39:35Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure Mac could go on and on and
- 39:36Speaker 3: on about that. But bringing in a former defensive coach
- 39:39Speaker 3: and then also a special teams coach to run your offense,
- 39:42Speaker 3: I mean, that just doesn't make a whole lot of
- 39:43Speaker 3: sense either.
- 39:44Speaker 2: The defensive coach had a pencil behind his ear, and yeah,
- 39:47Speaker 2: probably didn't work all that well all the time, I
- 39:49Speaker 2: guess it.
- 39:50Speaker 3: You know, but I will say that greatest coach of
- 39:53Speaker 3: all time Bill Belichick.
- 39:55Speaker 2: Well, and he still hopes to pass down shootless some day.
- 39:57Speaker 2: He needs thirteen to fourteen more winsday.
- 40:00Speaker 3: I was looking at his numbers and I actually wrote
- 40:03Speaker 3: it down with the Patriots two hundred and sixty six
- 40:06Speaker 3: wins with the Patriots alone, hundred and twenty one losses,
- 40:09Speaker 3: six times super Bowl winner, lost three of them by
- 40:11Speaker 3: the way, eighteen playoff years, seventeen division titles. Can we
- 40:17Speaker 3: get some of that? I mean just saying, can we
- 40:21Speaker 3: get some of that?
- 40:22Speaker 2: Four division titles? Let's get five five before we get
- 40:26Speaker 2: to seventeen. All right, we'll take a break, folks, We've
- 40:29Speaker 2: got one more segment. When we returned to the Doug
- 40:30Speaker 2: Peterson Show here on Jaguars.
- 40:32Speaker 1: Radio, Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
- 40:41Speaker 2: And the final minutes of the Doug Peterson Show, presented
- 40:44Speaker 2: by our friends from Freshet from Florida, Bryan and Jeff
- 40:46Speaker 2: with you here to wrap it up. Let's wrap it
- 40:48Speaker 2: up with a quarterback. Obviously. You know I heard you
- 40:50Speaker 2: tell Doug at the top of the show when we
- 40:52Speaker 2: had him here that you thought he played pretty well.
- 40:55Speaker 3: Yeah. I thought I thought he did okay, you know,
- 40:58Speaker 3: and that was a look. I thought that Trevor was
- 41:01Speaker 3: mentally tough in that game. The only bad throws that
- 41:05Speaker 3: he had in that ballgame was he underthrew Brian on
- 41:08Speaker 3: the one and then the interception was a force which
- 41:12Speaker 3: never should have happened. And that's trying to score fourteen
- 41:15Speaker 3: points in one throw. You can't do that as a quarterback.
- 41:18Speaker 3: And at that point, I don't know if they would
- 41:21Speaker 3: have gotten back in it even if he were Tom Brady.
- 41:24Speaker 3: You know, the team just I thought at that point
- 41:27Speaker 3: was just mentally out of it. But he's just got
- 41:31Speaker 3: to keep pushing, you know. And part of the drops,
- 41:33Speaker 3: I think is his responsibility to get those guys out
- 41:36Speaker 3: of the funk. Because the quarterback, you are the leader. Okay,
- 41:39Speaker 3: you are looked at every single play in the huddle.
- 41:42Speaker 3: Everybody's looking at you. You have to be able to
- 41:45Speaker 3: use some of your will to raise the level of
- 41:48Speaker 3: play of those around you.
- 41:50Speaker 2: Does that mean raise the level of your voice?
- 41:52Speaker 3: And if that's what it takes, then that's what it takes. Now,
- 41:54Speaker 3: if you're constantly raising your voice, then you get tuned out. Okay,
- 41:58Speaker 3: but you've got to pick your and certain guys need
- 42:01Speaker 3: to have it done in a different way, and you
- 42:03Speaker 3: need as a player you have to kind of have that,
- 42:06Speaker 3: and as a quarterback you have to have that awareness
- 42:08Speaker 3: as a leader that hey, look if I yell at you, Brian,
- 42:12Speaker 3: you know, maybe you'll go into a shell. But over here,
- 42:14Speaker 3: I can yell at this guy because he won't.
- 42:16Speaker 4: You know.
- 42:16Speaker 3: I mean, everybody's different then, Even though you know the
- 42:19Speaker 3: people always say you can't treat players differently, everybody is different.
- 42:23Speaker 3: And so as a leader, I think there's an art
- 42:25Speaker 3: form to doing that somewhat, and he's got to be
- 42:28Speaker 3: able to do it, you know, because I mean, look,
- 42:30Speaker 3: here's the reality. Like we talked about Gabe Davis earlier. Okay,
- 42:34Speaker 3: maybe he has to sit, but the reality is is
- 42:36Speaker 3: that Gabe Davis is one of their best wide receivers
- 42:39Speaker 3: when he's playing well, Okay, what can you do to
- 42:42Speaker 3: get him to play well? You know? And I think
- 42:44Speaker 3: that's part of it. But you got to change the
- 42:46Speaker 3: fortunes of this football team. I think in the last
- 42:49Speaker 3: twelve games are two and ten and they're not even
- 42:51Speaker 3: scoring twenty points a game on average.
- 42:52Speaker 4: You know.
- 42:53Speaker 3: Okay, that needs to change, and Trevor's been a part
- 42:55Speaker 3: of that. Now a couple of those games he was
- 42:57Speaker 3: hurt and he wasn't starting, okay, but the majority of
- 43:00Speaker 3: those games he has been the starter.
- 43:02Speaker 2: Can one good offensive performance, right, I mean, they come
- 43:07Speaker 2: out against a defense that's not playing that well, against
- 43:09Speaker 2: a team it's not playing well. I don't want to
- 43:12Speaker 2: say can it get him right? But can it give
- 43:14Speaker 2: him something to chew on as they go home? It
- 43:16Speaker 2: can then start a tough stretch of schedule here to Packers,
- 43:19Speaker 2: Vikings Eagles.
- 43:20Speaker 3: I mean, it can be a start, Brian, but it
- 43:22Speaker 3: does it's not going to carry you over. I mean,
- 43:24Speaker 3: because then you would have said, well, the Indianapolis game
- 43:26Speaker 3: would have getten you that start, and then you know
- 43:27Speaker 3: you kind of gained some momentum and you didn't gain it.
- 43:31Speaker 3: You know, It's that's the hard part about playing professional
- 43:34Speaker 3: sports is that you know it's it's a week to
- 43:36Speaker 3: week thing, but you've got to be able to build
- 43:38Speaker 3: from one week to the next. They didn't build from
- 43:40Speaker 3: Indianapolis to the Chicago Bears. And now you just got
- 43:43Speaker 3: to start one game of a time. You know, you
- 43:44Speaker 3: can't worry about playoffs and division title and expectations. You
- 43:49Speaker 3: just need to get a win, right.
- 43:50Speaker 2: Now focus is the most important you.
- 43:52Speaker 3: Need to win. Get focus and get one win and
- 43:55Speaker 3: worry about the rest as it comes.
- 43:56Speaker 4: Right.
- 43:56Speaker 2: Well, we'll see if the Jaguars can get their second
- 43:58Speaker 2: win of the season, the first here on this trip
- 44:01Speaker 2: to this side of the pond. That'll do it for
- 44:03Speaker 2: the Doug Peterson Show, presented by Fresh from Florida here
- 44:06Speaker 2: on the Jaguars Radio Network presented by the University of Florida.
- 44:10Speaker 2: Have a great evening, everybody, and we'll talk to you
- 44:12Speaker 2: on Sunday from Wembley Stadium.
