Speaker 1: Fresh from Florida JP Shadrick and former Jaguar Jeff Logoman
0:10
Speaker 1: discuss the latest Jaguars news with the head coach. The
0:14
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show starts right now.
0:17
Speaker 2: Welcome in it this Thursday, preseason Week three and this
0:21
Speaker 2: is The Doug Peterson Show presented by Fresh from Florida
0:24
Speaker 2: J P. Shadrick with Jeff Logoman. We'll have head coach
0:27
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson in studio with us in week one, couple
0:30
Speaker 2: of weeks away before the Jaguars visit the Colts to
0:33
Speaker 2: open the regular season. This week. The Dolphins Jaguars game
0:37
Speaker 2: Saturday at EverBank Stadium, seven o'clock kickoff time. It's brought
0:41
Speaker 2: to you by ticket Baster, the official ticket marketplace with
0:44
Speaker 2: the Jaguars and the NFL we logs. First of all,
0:47
Speaker 2: good afternoon training camp is in the books officially today
0:51
Speaker 2: and the final preseason tune up coming up Saturday, and
0:55
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson is going to put the starters out there.
0:58
Speaker 2: Let's see some clean operation from this group. Yeah, and
1:01
Speaker 2: he feels like that that's what's best for his football
1:04
Speaker 2: team to kind of work out get everybody used to
1:07
Speaker 2: kind of that game action, and I like it. I mean,
1:10
Speaker 2: it's you've got two weeks prior to the opener from
1:12
Speaker 2: this game forward, so you got plenty of time to
1:15
Speaker 2: kind of get rest and also to get recuperated from
1:19
Speaker 2: the jury front. Are you are you worried about injuries?
1:22
Speaker 2: I think everybody's always worried about injuries, and you can't
1:26
Speaker 2: let that kind of hinder some of your decision making.
1:29
Speaker 2: But I've had the same token. All of a sudden,
1:32
Speaker 2: you go out there and one of your main guys
1:35
Speaker 2: gets nicked. You're like, what are we doing? Why are
1:37
Speaker 2: we playing these guys? You know? But it's look, you
1:40
Speaker 2: got to get ready to play football. That's the only
1:42
Speaker 2: way you get better is by playing and executing and
1:46
Speaker 2: playing together. And it's not like they've had a ton
1:49
Speaker 2: of reps in game type of action. I mean, so
1:52
Speaker 2: this is a great opportunity for them to kind of
1:54
Speaker 2: work out some of those kings before the opener. We've
1:56
Speaker 2: heard a lot about the offense starting fast or the
2:00
Speaker 2: idea of wanting to start fast. I would say they
2:03
Speaker 2: didn't start fast in Dallas two weeks ago. They threw
2:06
Speaker 2: an interception in the second play and then went three
2:10
Speaker 2: and out and got a short field on a takeaway
2:12
Speaker 2: on special teams, scored on a fourth down play to
2:15
Speaker 2: get it done, and a two point play, which was nice,
2:18
Speaker 2: a nice finish. But I think they'd like to start
2:21
Speaker 2: a little bit smoother, let's say, offensively. Yeah, I mean,
2:23
Speaker 2: you'd always like to start out a little bit faster,
2:26
Speaker 2: especially in a game where you've got limited reps. You know,
2:31
Speaker 2: like the Dallas game. You'd like to have started faster there,
2:33
Speaker 2: but the interception prohibited that. And you know, I hope
2:37
Speaker 2: that the reps are quality against a quality opponent in
2:42
Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphin, because no indication for Mike McDaniel as
2:45
Speaker 2: far as what they're going to do the Miami Dolphins,
2:48
Speaker 2: and I hope that they play their guys, just because
2:51
Speaker 2: if you're going to be playing your guys, I'd like
2:53
Speaker 2: to have a matched up against kind of guys of
2:55
Speaker 2: equal talent. And look, I don't know expect the Dolphins
3:01
Speaker 2: to play everybody, but if you can get the majority
3:05
Speaker 2: of their front line starters, then you're going to feel like, Okay,
3:08
Speaker 2: if we have some production, then we feel like, okay,
3:10
Speaker 2: that was quality work. If all of a sudden you
3:13
Speaker 2: have a okay day against backups. I mean, what does
3:17
Speaker 2: that make you feel? It doesn't make you feel particularly
3:20
Speaker 2: great about it, but it does make you feel terrible
3:22
Speaker 2: about it. So, I mean, I'd like to get some
3:24
Speaker 2: good reps in and he's talked about a half, but
3:27
Speaker 2: I think that there's going to be a little mixing
3:29
Speaker 2: and matching would be my guess, even in the first half,
3:33
Speaker 2: because there are certain guys that you have to get
3:35
Speaker 2: a look at. You know that you want to evaluate
3:38
Speaker 2: with the first teamers in that situation against a quality
3:42
Speaker 2: opponent or quality players that are still on the field
3:44
Speaker 2: maybe at that stage of the game, instead of playing
3:47
Speaker 2: against a bunch of guys than second half that aren't
3:49
Speaker 2: even going to be on an NFL roster. So there
3:53
Speaker 2: could be certain players or positions that have more players
3:58
Speaker 2: put in at a sooner point just because of the
4:01
Speaker 2: evaluation process. Curious about the defensive look as well for
4:05
Speaker 2: this Jags team, and a lot of it depends on
4:08
Speaker 2: what happens on the Dolphins offensive side, as two of
4:11
Speaker 2: playing are the big receivers playing, and Tyreek Hill and
4:15
Speaker 2: Jalen Waddle. Their speed changes a lot, and it would
4:18
Speaker 2: be a good look if you had that type of speed.
4:21
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's any speed in the NFL
4:24
Speaker 2: as fast as those two guys at that position. Well,
4:27
Speaker 2: it's a good challenge for this defensive back room if
4:30
Speaker 2: they can match up against that group. Look, I mean
4:32
Speaker 2: these two guys are really good. I mean, we know
4:35
Speaker 2: about the speed of Cheetah Tyreek Hill. Last year, you know,
4:39
Speaker 2: number of second in receptions with one hundred and nineteen,
4:42
Speaker 2: second in yards with seventeen hundred and ten. I mean,
4:45
Speaker 2: he's one of the elite players in the National Football League.
4:48
Speaker 2: And then Jalen Wattle on the other side led the
4:50
Speaker 2: league and yards per catch average at eighteen point one
4:54
Speaker 2: with you know, you have a minimum receptions, and then
4:58
Speaker 2: he was seventh in yards himself. He's excellent football player
5:02
Speaker 2: to the number one rated passer from last year. So,
5:04
Speaker 2: I mean, in a perfect world, you'd like to get
5:05
Speaker 2: some reps against that, But I don't know if you're
5:09
Speaker 2: going to get that. I mean, the receivers have been
5:10
Speaker 2: a little bit banged up in Miami. They haven't been
5:13
Speaker 2: practicing to is a little bit of a question markus
5:16
Speaker 2: he's going to play and Mike McDaniels, if he has
5:19
Speaker 2: a press conference. If he does state that who is
5:22
Speaker 2: going to player who's not going to play, you might
5:24
Speaker 2: take a little bit of time to figure that out
5:26
Speaker 2: from him. He's a he's a different guy. I was
5:30
Speaker 2: driving today and pulled his latest or last press conference
5:36
Speaker 2: that was available this morning up, and he's a different guy,
5:40
Speaker 2: and he definitely takes some time to you know, he
5:43
Speaker 2: has like a twenty five minute press conference that probably
5:45
Speaker 2: can happen in about eight to ten minutes if he
5:48
Speaker 2: was a little bit more concise but concise. And uh,
5:54
Speaker 2: what's the person who's good with words that makes it concise?
5:59
Speaker 2: What would call that a wordsmith? Sure, you know there's
6:04
Speaker 2: another there's a term I'm thinking of, you know, as
6:07
Speaker 2: far as using words in the right way to where
6:09
Speaker 2: you don't have to use a lot of words to
6:10
Speaker 2: get the expression of cross. Trying to use words right now,
6:14
Speaker 2: I can't think it's not very efficient with the words.
6:17
Speaker 2: Ok I think it's a way to say that that's great,
6:20
Speaker 2: we got that done. Let's come back in a moment,
6:23
Speaker 2: like I wasn't very efficient in explaining that you took
6:25
Speaker 2: the scenic route, and that's okay. We're back in a
6:27
Speaker 2: moment and we'll hear from head coach Doug Peterson discussing
6:31
Speaker 2: the operation and the cleanliness of set operations Saturday night
6:36
Speaker 2: against the Dolphins. We're off and running. It's the Doug
6:39
Speaker 2: Peterson Show presented by Fresh from Florida on the Jaguars
6:43
Speaker 2: Radio Network.
6:49
Speaker 3: Clean operation. You know, you want the starters to go
6:51
Speaker 3: in there, and you know, you remember what happened in
6:55
Speaker 3: the Dallas game, you know, first series and we turned
6:57
Speaker 3: the ball over. You don't you don't want that. You
6:59
Speaker 3: want them to go in there and execute the offense.
7:03
Speaker 3: You know, we still don't game plan these games. We
7:06
Speaker 3: just want to execute our plays and and get get
7:09
Speaker 3: the starters working together, you know, for a number of
7:13
Speaker 3: snaps and and just try to try to you know,
7:16
Speaker 3: eliminate mistakes, try to eliminate airs, things like that, and
7:21
Speaker 3: try to play, you know, a clean football game at
7:24
Speaker 3: least for the first half.
7:25
Speaker 2: As head coach Doug Peterson and welcome back to The
7:28
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson Show presented by Fresh from Florida from the
7:31
Speaker 2: Hyundai Studios at the Miller Electric Center in JP Shadwick
7:34
Speaker 2: Jeff Loghman, we'll hear from the head coach in studio.
7:37
Speaker 2: Week one, we heard from him in the press conference
7:41
Speaker 2: earlier today before the Dolphins game, and word from Miami today.
7:46
Speaker 2: In Mike McDaniel's press conference, he was asked about playing
7:50
Speaker 2: time and was asked specifically about twa tongue of Bailoa
7:54
Speaker 2: playing on Saturday, and he said, quote, and you're talking
7:58
Speaker 2: about him, take in the long route to get to
8:01
Speaker 2: certain answers. It's a long quote. I don't know how
8:03
Speaker 2: much time we have in this segment. Quote. Read the
8:06
Speaker 2: quote here. It is quote. By and large, things always
8:08
Speaker 2: fluctuate depending on variables that are both with play and
8:11
Speaker 2: personnel around players. My plan has been in the back
8:14
Speaker 2: of my mind. The starting point was more than a series,
8:16
Speaker 2: less than a half for all the starters. That is
8:19
Speaker 2: dependent on today's practice and overall you're just trying to
8:21
Speaker 2: prepare guys for the regular season. I had in the
8:24
Speaker 2: back of my mind if things were even too it
8:26
Speaker 2: would play on Saturday. But that's something I'll revisit with
8:28
Speaker 2: the coaches after we completed this practice and kind of
8:31
Speaker 2: solidify that. But he's been prepared to all week. I
8:34
Speaker 2: told him that after the last game, he's prepared as
8:36
Speaker 2: though he's playing, and we'll revisit that after today's practice
8:40
Speaker 2: end quote. So maybe we have an idea, but we're
8:44
Speaker 2: not sure. We're not ready to say, let's see how practice. Yeah,
8:47
Speaker 2: there's all that today, So I would guess they'd be
8:50
Speaker 2: out there. If he's saying in the back of my
8:52
Speaker 2: mind more than a series less than a half, maybe
8:55
Speaker 2: it'll get some time. I don't know. I love Doug Peterson,
9:00
Speaker 2: and right, Doug's like, yep, yeah, I mean, you know,
9:05
Speaker 2: just to answer the question. But anyway, you know, he
9:10
Speaker 2: is a very bright offensive mind. Okay, what he was
9:16
Speaker 2: able to do with Miami's offense last year to weigh.
9:20
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, he did a tremendous job
9:22
Speaker 2: I think in developing too, even though the Toua was
9:26
Speaker 2: dealing with concussion issues. I mean, they started out hot
9:30
Speaker 2: last year as a football team. Then he hit I
9:33
Speaker 2: think it was like a five game skid. Ended up
9:36
Speaker 2: winning a game to get back into the playoffs the
9:38
Speaker 2: last game of the year and dang near almost beat
9:42
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills. You know, it was down there. Darryl
9:46
Speaker 2: bevill as the quarterbacks coach he is last year and
9:49
Speaker 2: still there passing game coordinator as well, which he was
9:52
Speaker 2: the interim coach here for a time after the Urban
9:56
Speaker 2: debacle and super nice guy like there Bevell and uh
10:01
Speaker 2: and got a great appreciation for him. He did this
10:03
Speaker 2: show for what four weeks, and he was awesome. I
10:05
Speaker 2: mean he sat in and you know, it was a trooper,
10:08
Speaker 2: you know, and which was a very tough situation. But
10:12
Speaker 2: I mean, they're they're offensive mind. I mean, look, Mike McDaniels,
10:16
Speaker 2: the reason he was hired is because he's considered a
10:19
Speaker 2: very bright offensive mind. And now all of a sudden
10:23
Speaker 2: you've paired him with one of the brightest defensive minds
10:27
Speaker 2: in all of football. And Vic Fangio, who is one
10:30
Speaker 2: of the most respected coordinators. I mean for years years,
10:35
Speaker 2: Vic Fangio has been a respected guy. And that's gonna
10:38
Speaker 2: you know, because Miami's defense last year wasn't great and
10:43
Speaker 2: I think in the they signed Jayalen Ramsey, who has
10:46
Speaker 2: a need He is going to be out for some time.
10:48
Speaker 2: He's got a meniscus injury. But the addition of Vic
10:51
Speaker 2: Fangio will do more for Miami's football team, just like
10:57
Speaker 2: it did last year. Having Mike McDaniel lead their offense.
11:01
Speaker 2: Are they better than the Jets? I would not be
11:06
Speaker 2: surprised to see them better than the Jets at all.
11:08
Speaker 2: I'm not a big believer and that Okay, you just
11:11
Speaker 2: go out and you sign Aaron Rodgers, then all of
11:12
Speaker 2: a sudden, all your ills are cured. They got a
11:15
Speaker 2: lot of other guys other than Aaron though, I mean
11:18
Speaker 2: he did. But it's hard to develop the chemistry and
11:24
Speaker 2: developed to develop the rapport when you put together a
11:29
Speaker 2: group of guys like that in a short period of time,
11:32
Speaker 2: and maybe it happens. Maybe it happens, but JP, I mean,
11:35
Speaker 2: think about when some of the great quarterbacks in the
11:38
Speaker 2: NFL have changed teams. Has it always worked? Not always?
11:43
Speaker 2: Not always? When has it? I would say when Joe
11:47
Speaker 2: Montana went to Kansas City, I mean, you know what,
11:50
Speaker 2: you got to talk about guys that are of that level.
11:52
Speaker 2: It worked for a short time. It worked for a
11:53
Speaker 2: short period of time. Peyton went to Denver, but that
11:56
Speaker 2: was defensive heavy. He was throwing it all over the
11:59
Speaker 2: r Peyton, you know, had the neck and so his
12:01
Speaker 2: arm wasn't the same. But I mean Joe's arm wasn't
12:04
Speaker 2: the same when he went to Kansas City. But they won. Yeah,
12:06
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, So it can work. Kurt
12:09
Speaker 2: Warner Kurt Warner did that with Arizona, took him to
12:13
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl. Yeah, I mean, so it can happen,
12:18
Speaker 2: But there's a lot of the list is much longer.
12:21
Speaker 2: He hasn't worked Kenny Stabler in Houston. I mean in
12:24
Speaker 2: the Saints, right, I mean, there's a bunch of them, right,
12:27
Speaker 2: you know where quarterbacks you sit there and he says,
12:29
Speaker 2: how many times have we heard the IEP? He stayed
12:31
Speaker 2: too long? You should have gotten out, you know, while
12:33
Speaker 2: he was at the top of his game. He's just
12:35
Speaker 2: you know, hanging on Tom Brady. Tom Brady, Come on,
12:39
Speaker 2: I won a Super Bowl right at the top. But
12:42
Speaker 2: I mean, isn't that that right there which you just
12:45
Speaker 2: mentioned Tom Brady in Tampa Bay. I mean, isn't that
12:48
Speaker 2: the gauge of whether Aaron Rodgers to the New York
12:52
Speaker 2: Jets is a success or not. Yeah. So, Brett farv
12:57
Speaker 2: I mean, Brett fav went to Minnesota. Farvar went to Minnesota,
13:01
Speaker 2: I love the way madd used to say, and went
13:02
Speaker 2: to New York after that. Farvara, Yeah, yeah, Oh, Brett's
13:06
Speaker 2: in a little bit of a pickle right now. We're
13:08
Speaker 2: back in a moment plenty ahead. We'll discuss the Jaguars
13:12
Speaker 2: defense and the evaluation process that goes into a final
13:17

13:30
Speaker 2: presented by Fresh from Florida on Jaguars Radio.
13:39
Speaker 3: You know, it's more than just the games, right we
13:41
Speaker 3: can evaluate that, that's the easy part. It's just the
13:44
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's the the off the field stuff that we
13:47
Speaker 3: look at, you know, and and can a player be trusted?
13:50
Speaker 3: You know, because the end of the day, you're down
13:52
Speaker 3: to you know, fifty three forty eight on game day
13:55
Speaker 3: and and you you go play and you got to
13:57
Speaker 3: be able to, you know, account and count on those
14:00
Speaker 3: those forty eight guys that they're gonna be there on Sunday.
14:03
Speaker 2: Welcome back. It's the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars
14:06
Speaker 2: Radio Network, presented by a fresh from Florida. That was
14:09
Speaker 2: head coach Doug Peterson. Of course, I'm JP Shadrick Jeff
14:12
Speaker 2: Logaban alongside and if you've just joined us on the
14:16
Speaker 2: network program The Doug Peterson Show, The Secret word of
14:19
Speaker 2: the day is trust. You just heard it from the
14:22
Speaker 2: head coach. It's a big word and it has a
14:25
Speaker 2: lot of applications when you talk about evaluating your roster
14:29
Speaker 2: and evaluating personnel. You know, when when you are trying
14:34
Speaker 2: to figure out who's going to make the final fifty three,
14:37
Speaker 2: but then really above and beyond that, the guys that
14:40
Speaker 2: are going to be active on gamdy is kind of
14:42
Speaker 2: what you look at when you're determining those fifty three
14:46
Speaker 2: and trust is a big factor. Trust from the standpoint
14:50
Speaker 2: of can you trust the player to mentally handle a
14:52
Speaker 2: game plan? Can you trust him from a mental standpoint
14:56
Speaker 2: to make the right decisions away from the football field? Okay?
15:00
Speaker 2: Can you trust that player to be available on a
15:04
Speaker 2: weekend and week out basiness? Or is that person gonna
15:06
Speaker 2: be hurt a lot? Do you trust him? By hurt? Okay,
15:10
Speaker 2: injured is different than hurt. Right, get injured, you're injured
15:14
Speaker 2: and you can't play and some guy. Everybody plays hurt
15:17
Speaker 2: at some point, right, everybody plays hurt, okay, but not
15:21
Speaker 2: everybody plays injured, right, Okay, So and there's a difference.
15:25
Speaker 2: There's a big difference. The reality is is that you're
15:28
Speaker 2: never gonna I mean from the from the first game
15:30
Speaker 2: that you play in the NFL, You're never gonna feel
15:33
Speaker 2: one hundred percent. That's just the way it is, and
15:37
Speaker 2: you have to learn that you have to play with
15:41
Speaker 2: discomfort and with pain. That's part of the deal. That's
15:44
Speaker 2: why it's a gladiator sport. And if you can't do that,
15:48
Speaker 2: if you feel like that you have to be one
15:50
Speaker 2: hundred percent to play, your availability is gonna drop, which
15:53
Speaker 2: means your dependability and the trust level and you is
15:56
Speaker 2: going to drop. And so that's what has to be proven.
15:59
Speaker 2: And it's hard to prove in such a short amount
16:02
Speaker 2: of time in training camp because it's not really a
16:05
Speaker 2: true test. And so in a lot of ways, there's
16:09
Speaker 2: a lot of faith that the coaches are going to
16:11
Speaker 2: put in certain players because they're not going to have
16:14
Speaker 2: a true sample side to be able to make a
16:16
Speaker 2: great decision that's going to be able to let them
16:18
Speaker 2: know whether they trust him or not. So it's an
16:22
Speaker 2: interesting time of year and there's a lot of decisions,
16:28
Speaker 2: especially given some of the injuries that they have had
16:32
Speaker 2: to where now you're you're going to be looking at
16:35
Speaker 2: do I trust this guy or not? Because of the
16:39
Speaker 2: injuries that you have. You probably weren't even thinking about
16:42
Speaker 2: making some of those decisions, but now you're thinking about, right,
16:47
Speaker 2: and I mean, the decision might be okay for a
16:51
Speaker 2: few weeks, and then you have to make another one
16:52
Speaker 2: again when another guy's healthy. Well, I mean, for example,
16:55
Speaker 2: let's look at the offensive line. I mean, we thought
16:57
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the year, this was a easy cut, okay,
17:01
Speaker 2: and and ignore Cam Robinson because he's going to be
17:04
Speaker 2: on the suspended list. Okay. I had like Walker, Little,
17:09
Speaker 2: Josh Wells, Tyler Shatlee, Ben Bart, Blake Cants, Luke Fortner,
17:16
Speaker 2: Brandon Sheriff, Cooper Hodges, Anton Harrison nine. That was my note. Okay, well, okay, Well,
17:23
Speaker 2: now you've got Wells has an abductor issue, Shatley's got
17:30
Speaker 2: a fib right, Okay, that's a question mark. You've got
17:34
Speaker 2: an injury to Anton Harrison, he's a he's gonna make
17:37
Speaker 2: the team. And but that kind of works into your
17:41
Speaker 2: thought process a little bit. So now you know, one
17:45
Speaker 2: guy that I didn't have on the list at the
17:47
Speaker 2: beginning and when I started to figure out where this
17:49
Speaker 2: roster would go was Daryl Williams. Well, we mentioned Hodges,
17:53
Speaker 2: has got an issue now and Hodges has you know,
17:56
Speaker 2: a teller issue. You know, how long is he going
17:59
Speaker 2: to be out? Anyway? So Darryl Williams, So Daryl Williams
18:02
Speaker 2: is a guy there, you're thinking, Okay, Chandler brew is
18:05
Speaker 2: a guy. You're thinking, Okay, maybe he's a guy. Corey
18:07
Speaker 2: Kronk's a guy. Okay, can he make it? Because I
18:12
Speaker 2: think Wells is probably going to be an injury settlement
18:16
Speaker 2: guy and that's the best way I think that that
18:19
Speaker 2: situation could end. But I mean, that's Bobby Evans. I mean,
18:24
Speaker 2: it's Bobby Evans in play now. You know, the free
18:27
Speaker 2: agent guy that you signed who could play some tackle
18:29
Speaker 2: that you added the last week. I mean, could he
18:34
Speaker 2: be a guy that you consider? You know, practice squad
18:38
Speaker 2: is also an area for some of these guys. I mean,
18:40
Speaker 2: but I mean that's how different all of a sudden
18:43
Speaker 2: at the beginning of camp, you know, the mindset was, Okay,
18:45
Speaker 2: these are the guys. Well, all these injuries have changed
18:49
Speaker 2: some of them they are until they aren't, so one
18:51
Speaker 2: way or another. Right, it's different. You know, defensive back,
18:54
Speaker 2: which is not really been hampered by injuries whatsoever, would
19:01
Speaker 2: because you know, the one injury that you have in
19:03
Speaker 2: the back end is Antonio Johnson's gonna be some time
19:05
Speaker 2: with a hamstring, but he's not going anywhere. No, he's fine. Right,
19:10
Speaker 2: He's not going anywhere. Okay, he's gonna be on the
19:13
Speaker 2: fifty three. He's just gonna take some time. But he's
19:16
Speaker 2: so good. You're gonna keep five safeties, Okay. How many
19:19
Speaker 2: corners are you gonna keep? Yeah, I mean, and my
19:22
Speaker 2: guess would be five, maybe maybe six, Yeah, because you're
19:26
Speaker 2: gonna have your three that start, and you know in
19:29
Speaker 2: a couple of backups. Right and right now, when you
19:31
Speaker 2: say those three, who are those three? Well, you know
19:34
Speaker 2: the outside guys or Williams and Tyson Campbell. The question
19:37
Speaker 2: is the third corners number three? It goes back to trust,
19:41
Speaker 2: right and right now, JP, who do you trust? The
19:47
Speaker 2: question is Greg Reed Junior, who's coming off a practice
19:50
Speaker 2: squad year last year, was up on the regular roster
19:52
Speaker 2: at the end of the season and has been here
19:54
Speaker 2: all off season. He was a late draft pick last year.
19:57
Speaker 2: Or is it Trey Herndon, Who's what year? Is he
19:59
Speaker 2: six year in the league, been around six years. If
20:03
Speaker 2: it comes to trust, Trey's going to be there, right,
20:07
Speaker 2: He's gonna be out there. He's going to be available.
20:10
Speaker 2: Has Gregory Junior done enough in training camp to earn
20:13
Speaker 2: that over him in the starting role? He had a
20:15
Speaker 2: cause Fumber, recovered Fumbel interceptions, been involved in three takeaways. Yes,
20:22
Speaker 2: could that change as the season goes along. But do
20:24
Speaker 2: you trust him? I think you trust him to have
20:27
Speaker 2: him on this team? Sure? Do you trust him as
20:29
Speaker 2: the starting nickel right now? Maybe it depends on who
20:33
Speaker 2: you're playing against, because I mean, you trust Trey because
20:37
Speaker 2: you know he's going to be physical, He's going to
20:39
Speaker 2: be available. It's gonna be the right spot. He's a
20:41
Speaker 2: dependable Okay. Is he sometimes not as good in man
20:45
Speaker 2: coverage against a speeded receiver. Absolutely? But can he play
20:49
Speaker 2: zone in a nickel package, which I think this defense
20:53
Speaker 2: is going to be more zone dependent than they were
20:56
Speaker 2: than they were last year? Sure, But I mean that
21:00
Speaker 2: word JP trust, Trust, Trust. You know where he's gonna be.
21:04
Speaker 2: He may not be the fastest after that, but he's
21:07
Speaker 2: gonna be in the right place with a chance to
21:10
Speaker 2: make plays. Trust is a big deal now, I mean
21:12
Speaker 2: that's that's that word is gonna be talked about extensively.
21:18
Speaker 2: After this preseason game with the staff that Trent Balkey
21:22
Speaker 2: has and the staff that Doug Peterson has, when they
21:26
Speaker 2: come together to figure out who they're gonna be riding with,
21:30
Speaker 2: you know, the franchise trusts Trevor Lawrence. Yes, and we'll
21:33
Speaker 2: hear from his position coach when we come back. Quarterbacks
21:37
Speaker 2: coach Mike McCoy will take us through what he's improved
21:42
Speaker 2: the most technically this offseason and much more that's next
21:45
Speaker 2: on The Doug Peterson Show presented by Fresh from Florida
21:48
Speaker 2: on the Jaguars Radio Network.
21:51
Speaker 1: Come Back The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
21:55
Speaker 2: The Doug Peterson Show presented by Fresh from Florida's preseason
21:59
Speaker 2: Week three, the jag Wars and the Dolphins Coming up.
22:01
Speaker 2: The game presented by Ticketmaster this Saturday, seven o'clock at
22:05
Speaker 2: EverBank Stadium. A few tickets available six three three two thousand,
22:09
Speaker 2: or visit Jaguars dot com. You'll see Jaguars quarterback Trevor
22:13
Speaker 2: Lawrence and the starters go maybe two quarters in Saturday's game.
22:19
Speaker 2: I caught up with Jaguars quarterbacks coach Mike McCoy this week.
22:22
Speaker 2: He enters his second season with Trevor Lawrence, and I
22:25
Speaker 2: asked him where Lawrence has taken the greatest strides in technique.
22:30
Speaker 4: I think really if you look at his footwork and
22:32
Speaker 4: the way, you know, he's playing with his feet underneath
22:34
Speaker 4: him this year. You know last year, you know, we've
22:36
Speaker 4: seen a couple of snaps. Just a couple of days
22:37
Speaker 4: ago you were talking about, you know, how wide his
22:39
Speaker 4: base is. You know, whether he is when he was
22:41
Speaker 4: dropping back, setting up or throwing with a big, long stride,
22:44
Speaker 4: and you know, now he's playing with his fet underneath them,
22:46
Speaker 4: and then it really is target line, setting up to
22:48
Speaker 4: the target where he's throlling the ball. And he's done
22:51
Speaker 4: a really nice job of kind of you know, at
22:52
Speaker 4: the end of the year, you kind of talk about
22:54
Speaker 4: a couple of things, and last year, number one, he
22:56
Speaker 4: had to understand the system. So there's so much focus
22:59
Speaker 4: for you know, day to day and just hate learning
23:00
Speaker 4: what we're doing, and you know sometimes you forget about
23:03
Speaker 4: those little things, and so we really honed it in
23:05
Speaker 4: that this offseason. He's done a great job with that.
23:07
Speaker 2: CJ. Bethard, number two quarterback on this roster. He's a veteran.
23:11
Speaker 2: He's been in this league for a while, What what
23:13
Speaker 2: is his role, what what does he need to show
23:16
Speaker 2: you to maintain that and what does he do to
23:18
Speaker 2: help Trevor on a day to day basis? Was CJ? CJ?
23:21
Speaker 2: You know that you always say that about him.
23:23
Speaker 4: He goes in there, he runs the show when he's
23:25
Speaker 4: in the huddle, you know, whether it's the off season program,
23:27
Speaker 4: training camp, preseason games. You know, you don't you don't
23:30
Speaker 4: see a lot of the things that he does sometimes,
23:32
Speaker 4: you know, watching the game and just you know, directing traffic,
23:35
Speaker 4: making sure you guys are lining up the right way,
23:36
Speaker 4: the communication with the guys. You see him in the
23:39
Speaker 4: meeting rooms. You know, he's never gonna be he's never
23:41
Speaker 4: gonna be shy. He's always gonna speak up.
23:43
Speaker 2: You know.
23:44
Speaker 4: Actually this morning in a meeting, he said made a
23:46
Speaker 4: comment to press about something and then you know he
23:48
Speaker 4: was dead on. And that's that's the great thing. And
23:50
Speaker 4: you know just how he's helped Trevor the past couple
23:53
Speaker 4: of years. You know, all the time they spend in
23:55
Speaker 4: the film room on their own and just really teaching
23:58
Speaker 4: Trevor how to be a pro, you know, from his
24:00
Speaker 4: rookie year torius today, because there's so much time, not
24:03
Speaker 4: just with the coaches, but that they spend in there,
24:04
Speaker 4: and he's just really helped him and you know, talked
24:06
Speaker 4: to about little the tricks of the trade game, you know,
24:09
Speaker 4: game days, about defense, is about coordinators, all those things.
24:11
Speaker 4: So he's really another coach out there. So he's really
24:14
Speaker 4: we're very fortunate to have him in the role that
24:16
Speaker 4: he's in.
24:16
Speaker 2: It's one thing to hear it from Doug or Press
24:18
Speaker 2: or you, but when another player is telling you that
24:21
Speaker 2: it maybe it registers in a different way.
24:23
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, definitely, you know, they and you know, the
24:25
Speaker 4: great thing about it is, you know a lot we've
24:27
Speaker 4: all played the position, and then having someone like Cig
24:30
Speaker 4: that that Trevor has so much trust in, you know,
24:32
Speaker 4: when you come to the sideline, you know, because cjn
24:33
Speaker 4: are always talking during the game, how things come up
24:35
Speaker 4: and at times you know whether I'm you know, talking
24:38
Speaker 4: to Phil about something and CJ sits down and hey,
24:40
Speaker 4: here's what we said. So you know, he's great to
24:43
Speaker 4: have on this team.
24:44
Speaker 2: Finally, Nathan Rourke, CFL player. The last couple of years,
24:47
Speaker 2: he's had some flashy plays in this preseason. What has
24:50
Speaker 2: stood out about him in this training camp? So far,
24:53
Speaker 2: what does he do well, what has he been working
24:55
Speaker 2: on the last few weeks.
24:56
Speaker 4: Well, you know, the great thing is that you know
24:58
Speaker 4: the improvements he's made from the offseason. You know, it's
25:00
Speaker 4: just like we were talking earlier about Trevor learning the
25:02
Speaker 4: system last year when Nathan came in. He was fortunate
25:04
Speaker 4: enough he could be here early, but the rules he
25:06
Speaker 4: did so, he watched so much film on his own,
25:08
Speaker 4: spent endless hours here, you know, just getting adjusted to everything,
25:12
Speaker 4: living here and everything and learning the system and taking
25:15
Speaker 4: care of his body and getting ready back in football shape.
25:18
Speaker 4: And then you know, we left this summer and he
25:20
Speaker 4: came back. We talked about working on a couple of things.
25:22
Speaker 4: He came back and it was obvious that he worked
25:24
Speaker 4: on those things. And he's made the most of every opportunity.
25:27
Speaker 4: And that's what you always tell the guys, come priests
25:29
Speaker 4: and don't worry about how many reps you get, just
25:31
Speaker 4: when you get in there, and make the most of
25:32
Speaker 4: every opportunity and go go do your thing. And that's
25:34
Speaker 4: what he's done. And you know, he's very fortunate for
25:37
Speaker 4: the room that he's in. You know, you talk about CJ.
25:39
Speaker 4: You know CJ and Trevor. Both they go out there
25:42
Speaker 4: and they do whatever they can to help him, and
25:44
Speaker 4: that was they did the same thing last year with EJ.
25:46
Speaker 4: And so you know, I'm very fortunate that I've got
25:48
Speaker 4: the three of them in the room and they work
25:50
Speaker 4: so well together. But he's just he's learned from those
25:53
Speaker 4: two guys and he's made the most of the opportunities.
25:55
Speaker 2: That's Mike McCoy, Jaguars quarterbacks coach, plenty to discuss there
26:00
Speaker 2: the Doug Peterson Show. The full conversation in the Official
26:02
Speaker 2: Jaguars podcast network in Jaguars dot Com. You'll hear it
26:05
Speaker 2: again on Saturday in the Public Steelgates Show. Well, yeah,
26:08
Speaker 2: one of those things start with the footwork of the quarterback, right,
26:12
Speaker 2: There's always something to work on. And Mike McCoy's been
26:16
Speaker 2: around this for a long time, around a lot of
26:18
Speaker 2: great quarterbacks and they can really kind of break this
26:22
Speaker 2: thing down, and they certainly have with Trevor, and he's
26:24
Speaker 2: open to it and has adjusted. Yeah, i mean, look,
26:28
Speaker 2: every quarterback, if you were to literally just put a
26:33
Speaker 2: video camera and watch the footwork, you can tell whether
26:38
Speaker 2: or not a lot of times that the play is
26:39
Speaker 2: going to have success or not. I mean some guys
26:41
Speaker 2: like Patrick Holmes who sometimes the footwork are not traditional,
26:45
Speaker 2: a little off the beaten path. He's kind of one
26:47
Speaker 2: of those guns. Let a little bit, yeah, because he
26:51
Speaker 2: can throw the ball so many different ways and that
26:54
Speaker 2: may not be the case. But for everybody else, okay
26:58
Speaker 2: that has to play quarterback from the traditional way in
27:01
Speaker 2: a sense, you've got to have good feet. Trevor's feet
27:03
Speaker 2: are definitely better this year. As Mike said, they're more
27:06
Speaker 2: underneath of him. I think CJ. Bethett at times needs
27:10
Speaker 2: to get more disciplined with his footwork and get his
27:14
Speaker 2: feet underneath of him and actually have his feet work
27:17
Speaker 2: to his advantage. Sometimes they're not going where they need
27:20
Speaker 2: to be going. And that's something that I think he
27:22
Speaker 2: can continue to work on because sometimes he tries to
27:24
Speaker 2: play the game throw you know, fade away throws and
27:27
Speaker 2: things of that nature. But the other thing about Trevor
27:29
Speaker 2: that most people are a lot of people haven't talked about.
27:32
Speaker 2: He's bigger now. He is noticeably bigger than he was
27:36
Speaker 2: last year. He's he's heavier. He told me that he's
27:39
Speaker 2: about two twenty five and I wouldn't be a bit
27:42
Speaker 2: surprised if he's gained weight a little bit in the
27:44
Speaker 2: camp so far, and he looks he looks great. And
27:49
Speaker 2: I'll never forget. I was listening to Vic Fangio's press
27:52
Speaker 2: conference from I guess it was yesterday or the day before,
27:57
Speaker 2: and he was talking about this matchup coming up against
28:00
Speaker 2: Jaguars and what a great opportunity that it is for
28:02
Speaker 2: his defense, you know, but sure, I mean, just like
28:04
Speaker 2: we're talking about this matchup against Tua and these two
28:07
Speaker 2: great receivers, you know, are like, yeah, you know, it's
28:09
Speaker 2: a good matchup, good test for our defense, excuse me,
28:13
Speaker 2: our defensive backs. And what Fangio said next has made
28:16
Speaker 2: me chuckle. He said, you know, it's a really good test.
28:19
Speaker 2: It's a good offense in that quarterback. Now, Trevor Lawrence
28:22
Speaker 2: is a dude, a dude. He's a dude, a dude okay,
28:27
Speaker 2: and a dude okay. In Vic Fangio's world, a dude
28:30
Speaker 2: means he's a stud. Hey, And so when he said that,
28:33
Speaker 2: I just kind of chuckled. He's like, yeah, he's a dude.
28:37
Speaker 2: He certainly is a great line. The other part of
28:39
Speaker 2: that conversation, there's been a lot of talk amongst fans
28:43
Speaker 2: social media, talk radio. I'm sure on this and many
28:47
Speaker 2: of these stations on the network about the backup quarterback situation,
28:52
Speaker 2: has Nathan Norke played his way into number two? Well,
28:54
Speaker 2: that's that was clearly shot down by Doug Peterson after
28:57
Speaker 2: the game in Detroit. It's CJ. Beth, his number two,
29:00
Speaker 2: gig Rourke is getting the reps that he can and
29:04
Speaker 2: you heard reasons why from Mike McCoy right there. I
29:06
Speaker 2: mean the trust to go back to the word again
29:09
Speaker 2: that the quarterback Trevor Lawrence has in his number two guy,
29:14
Speaker 2: and the trust that the coaching staff has in Beth
29:18
Speaker 2: to help get the quarterback ready to go well, and
29:20
Speaker 2: the team. I mean, there's got to be trust from
29:23
Speaker 2: the team to the backup quarterback. And also you got
29:26
Speaker 2: to remember the backup quarterback is not a guy that's
29:30
Speaker 2: going to be getting fifty percent of the reps during
29:32
Speaker 2: the regular season's week of work. Okay. They don't get reps.
29:35
Speaker 2: They don't get sometimes any a lot of times zero
29:38
Speaker 2: reps okay in a practice, and so they have to
29:40
Speaker 2: be able to take mental reps. They have to be
29:43
Speaker 2: able to use the scout team show reps that they're given.
29:46
Speaker 2: The defense to be able to play kind of a
29:48
Speaker 2: mental game of applying some of the plays that they
29:52
Speaker 2: have to that execution of what you're trying to give
29:55
Speaker 2: a look for the defense and so trying to groom aga.
30:01
Speaker 2: If you want to keep three quarterbacks, okay, that's fine,
30:04
Speaker 2: then you can do that. But where are the reps
30:06
Speaker 2: gonna be for that guy in a practice as well?
30:09
Speaker 2: You know? So I like the possibility of Nathan Rourke
30:14
Speaker 2: being a practice squad guy and letting him continue to
30:17
Speaker 2: develop to see if at some point then he can
30:20
Speaker 2: then compete for the number two. This year, he's competing
30:22
Speaker 2: to be a number three, because here's the reality. You
30:26
Speaker 2: don't have to have three. I know they've got a
30:28
Speaker 2: new rule, okay, but the reality is if you're the
30:32
Speaker 2: third quarterback, you count against the fifty three. Okay, on
30:36
Speaker 2: game day you don't count, But on a week to
30:38
Speaker 2: week basis, a third quarterback counts against your roster and
30:42
Speaker 2: you have to show something really special. And one thing
30:44
Speaker 2: that Nathan Rourke has shown his athleticism, but he's got
30:47
Speaker 2: to still show the ability to diagnose and execute in
30:50
Speaker 2: the pocket. He's learning plenty ahead. We'll return with some
30:54
Speaker 2: tough roster cuts ahead. More from the head coach Doug
30:58
Speaker 2: Peterson on The Dug Peterson Show presented by Fresh from
31:01
Speaker 2: Florida on Jaguars Radio.
31:08
Speaker 1: Welcome back, The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
31:14
Speaker 3: You disrupt the lives of guys that have been busting
31:16
Speaker 3: their tail for about six weeks you know here plus
31:18
Speaker 3: the off season, and you know, it's it's a it's
31:22
Speaker 3: a tough time. You know, it's a tough time to
31:24
Speaker 3: and I just I said, I I tell the guys
31:27
Speaker 3: all the time. You know, you're you're competing for our roster,
31:30
Speaker 3: but there's thirty one other rosters that are watching you too.
31:32
Speaker 3: So again it's may not be the end of the line.
31:36
Speaker 3: Maybe the end of line here, but not the end
31:37
Speaker 3: of the line you know on another team. So you know,
31:40
Speaker 3: put your best foot forward.
31:45
Speaker 2: That's head coach Doug Peterson of course, press conference earlier today.
31:48
Speaker 2: The full press are available on Jaguars dot Com and
31:51
Speaker 2: Jaguars YouTube and Welcome back to The Doug Peterson Show
31:55
Speaker 2: presented by Fresh from Florida and the Dolphins Jaguars game
31:59
Speaker 2: this Saturday, brought to you Buy a Ticketmaster, the official
32:01
Speaker 2: ticket marketplace of the Jaguars, and the NFL. Yeah, it's
32:06
Speaker 2: never fun. I mean, we've heard plenty of former coaches
32:09
Speaker 2: around here discuss the cut day and how difficult that is,
32:14
Speaker 2: especially for guys who've played in the league and maybe
32:17
Speaker 2: have been in that situation on the other side of
32:20
Speaker 2: the desk from a head coach or a general manager
32:22
Speaker 2: telling them, hey, you're no longer on this roster. That
32:26
Speaker 2: that's a difficult day for anyone. But certainly a guy
32:31
Speaker 2: and Doug Peterson was a backup quarterback in this league
32:33
Speaker 2: for a long time, had to face that at a
32:35
Speaker 2: time or two. And you know, Doug Marone certainly had
32:38
Speaker 2: to do that before. We've heard the stories from him.
32:41
Speaker 2: It's a difficult day. It's part of the business though,
32:44
Speaker 2: and as he said, hey, you put your best tape
32:46
Speaker 2: out there, somebody will take notice. Well. And also there
32:50
Speaker 2: are sixteen practice squad spots that are going to be
32:53
Speaker 2: available for this football team and then also every other
32:56
Speaker 2: team in the National Football League. So once the fifty
33:01
Speaker 2: three is made, I mean, there's going to be still
33:03
Speaker 2: some jockeying with roster spots because, for example, if somebody
33:08
Speaker 2: becomes available off of the waiver wire or whatever, you
33:11
Speaker 2: may end up adding somebody, then subtracting somebody, so it
33:16
Speaker 2: until you get to the week of the games. Sometimes
33:20
Speaker 2: it can be a little bit unnerving, I think for
33:22
Speaker 2: a lot of guys, because I mean the reality is,
33:25
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson and Trent balk you're going to have to
33:27
Speaker 2: tell some of these guys that look in a different
33:32
Speaker 2: kind of way that your dream is over, you know.
33:34
Speaker 2: I mean some of these guys, I mean their dream
33:36
Speaker 2: in their whole life. I mean, they wanted to play
33:39
Speaker 2: pro football and some of these guys are going to
33:42
Speaker 2: be told that that dream is not coming true and
33:45
Speaker 2: it's not going to come true with this team. And
33:48
Speaker 2: I'm sure that they'll be encouraging that maybe can happen elsewhere,
33:51
Speaker 2: but the reality is it may not help it happen
33:54
Speaker 2: elsewhere either, And that's not an easy thing to do.
33:58
Speaker 2: I know that the way that they do it now
34:01
Speaker 2: with cell phones and everything, and the way the agents
34:06
Speaker 2: seem to get involved more now than ever, it's a
34:09
Speaker 2: little different. I Mean, back in the day, they had
34:12
Speaker 2: what a guy was called the Turk, you know, and
34:15
Speaker 2: he was somebody that was in the organization that would
34:18
Speaker 2: go up to a player and say, hey, coach wants
34:21
Speaker 2: to see and bring your playbook. Oh that's not good.
34:24
Speaker 2: He was that guy. I mean, he was the grim reaper.
34:27
Speaker 2: He was the guy that went to go get people
34:30
Speaker 2: so that the coach or general manager could tell them
34:33
Speaker 2: that they were cut. And nowadays it happens a little differently,
34:38
Speaker 2: but it's you know, it's a tough time and these guys,
34:40
Speaker 2: you know, look, they bust their hump for you, not
34:43
Speaker 2: just through training camp. They've done it in a lot
34:45
Speaker 2: of cases, going all the way back to April when
34:47
Speaker 2: the OTAs and off season training activities began in the
34:51
Speaker 2: weight room and all that kind of stuff. So you know,
34:54
Speaker 2: you appreciate the hard work and the dedication that these
34:57
Speaker 2: guys have. And the reality is that the this is
35:00
Speaker 2: the best of the best, and this is a it's
35:03
Speaker 2: a it's a it's a ruthless business. And the minute
35:06
Speaker 2: that your skill set drops, you're gonna be out. If
35:08
Speaker 2: you're not good enough, you're not gonna make it. It's
35:11
Speaker 2: a it's a survival of the fittest. You may be
35:14
Speaker 2: out of the NFL, but there are some other opportunities
35:18
Speaker 2: out there these days that weren't over there a couple
35:21
Speaker 2: of years ago, especially in the spring, right, I mean XFL.
35:23
Speaker 2: We've seen a couple of guys in the NFL. There's
35:26
Speaker 2: those are that that's arena leagues, I mean, but still,
35:29
Speaker 2: but I mean this is where it's Yeah. I mean, look,
35:32
Speaker 2: you don't grow up saying ah man, I always wanted
35:34
Speaker 2: to play for the XFL. But the point is, yes, uh,
35:37
Speaker 2: you're this NFL moment might be over, but there is
35:42
Speaker 2: there are pathways to maybe get back out there some
35:45
Speaker 2: more tape. One of the guys that I had an
35:48
Speaker 2: amazing amount of respect for was Warren Moon. Warren was
35:56
Speaker 2: the longtime quarterback of the Houston Oilers, and before that
36:00
Speaker 2: he was in Canada and he played in Canada for
36:04
Speaker 2: a number of years before given an opportunity in the
36:06
Speaker 2: National Football League. And he was tremendous, I mean, tremendous guy,
36:10
Speaker 2: tremendous player, And I mean there's been other guys, I mean,
36:15
Speaker 2: but I think he's one of the ones that comes
36:16
Speaker 2: to mind, just because he would be played in Canada
36:18
Speaker 2: for like six or five six years, yeah, I mean,
36:22
Speaker 2: I mean that's a long period of time, and he
36:24
Speaker 2: never gave up on his dream of being a quarterback
36:26
Speaker 2: in the National Football League and led one of the
36:29
Speaker 2: most dynamic offenses in league history when he had that
36:34
Speaker 2: offense down there in Houston that had I mean Ernest
36:37
Speaker 2: Givens and I mean just wide I mean running backs,
36:39
Speaker 2: I mean just goalore. I mean, and they threw the
36:42
Speaker 2: ball a ton, a ton and uh so, I mean
36:47
Speaker 2: CFL is an option for some, but Doug Doug Flutie
36:50
Speaker 2: did that too. He was in the league for a minute.
36:52
Speaker 2: Then it went up there for like, I mean for years,
36:54
Speaker 2: like three different teams. Yeah, he got a chance later. Yeah,
36:58
Speaker 2: he was up there for a while, and he was
37:00
Speaker 2: kind of a run around guy, you know. But I
37:02
Speaker 2: mean he never had an NFL career that you went, Wow,
37:06
Speaker 2: what a great NFL career. But Warren Moon, I mean,
37:09
Speaker 2: you're talking Hall of Fame gay, you know, Hall of
37:11
Speaker 2: Fame guy, you know. So, I mean, and I have
37:14
Speaker 2: respect for those guys that continue, you know. And I'll
37:18
Speaker 2: never forget when I was calling games over in NFL Europe,
37:22
Speaker 2: there were some guys that ended up making it out
37:24
Speaker 2: of NFL Europe, Guys that never gave gave up on
37:27
Speaker 2: their dream, that continued to work at it and and
37:29
Speaker 2: in some cases turn turned out to be really good
37:32
Speaker 2: football players. I mean the guys that stuck to it.
37:34
Speaker 2: I mean I got a lot of respect for them
37:37
Speaker 2: that they could stick to it and continue to work
37:40
Speaker 2: to try and get better. And the reality is that
37:43
Speaker 2: it's easy if once you say you know, you're told
37:46
Speaker 2: you're not good enough to make this football team, to
37:48
Speaker 2: just give it up. In some cases, some guys truly
37:51
Speaker 2: need to give it up. But some guys that believe
37:53
Speaker 2: in themselves and continue to have a work ethic, and
37:56
Speaker 2: our late developers, the ones that stick to it. I mean,
37:58
Speaker 2: I got a lot of respect for him. Remember the
38:02
Speaker 2: cornerback Luke bark who played here. Yeah right, I had
38:05
Speaker 2: great ball skills in twenty twenty, really good balls year
38:08
Speaker 2: and twenty one was with the Cardinals. Was also on
38:11
Speaker 2: the Niners, Chiefs, and Jets practice squads during the offseason.
38:15
Speaker 2: The next two years, well, then he went to the XFL.
38:18
Speaker 2: This year he was in San Antonio and played really
38:21
Speaker 2: well for them. He got signed by the Steelers. Not
38:24
Speaker 2: sure if he's gonna make it, who knows, but that
38:25
Speaker 2: gave him another chance to get some more tape out there,
38:28
Speaker 2: and he was. He really starred in that league he played.
38:31
Speaker 2: I've just never I mean the reason I remember him
38:33
Speaker 2: is that he had outstanding ball skills. I mean much
38:36
Speaker 2: like Cisco, Okay, Andre Cisco that's got excellent balls in
38:39
Speaker 2: the area, he's gonna catch it. And Bark who had
38:41
Speaker 2: the same thing back in the moment. We'll hear more
38:43
Speaker 2: from the head coach and the offensive weapons when we
38:46
Speaker 2: come back. It's the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars
38:49
Speaker 2: Radio Network.
38:54
Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
38:59
Speaker 3: They really picked up where they left off a year
39:01
Speaker 3: ago and and you know, going into year two, just
39:06
Speaker 3: the growth and development of those guys. The you know,
39:09
Speaker 3: I've said this before, the teaching aspect is we're not
39:13
Speaker 3: teaching plays, right, we're teaching fundamentals more and we're working
39:17
Speaker 3: on their skill sets and helping them become better football
39:20
Speaker 3: players and taking that next step you know as a team.
39:26
Speaker 3: Those are the things that I think this training camp
39:29
Speaker 3: really has sort of emerged, you know, on both sides
39:33
Speaker 3: of the ball. You know, when you got you know,
39:35
Speaker 3: we had all where we have all eleven guys, you
39:38
Speaker 3: know on defense that we are coming back basically, and
39:42
Speaker 3: the communication, the execution, you know, those are all things
39:47
Speaker 3: that have been more on point I should say, you
39:53
Speaker 3: know this year, I.
39:55
Speaker 2: Said coach Doug Peterson in his press conference earlier today.
39:58
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the Doug Peterson Show, presented by Fresh
40:02
Speaker 2: from Florida J P. Shadwick Jeff Lagoman. He's talking about
40:06
Speaker 2: a lot of the offense there and the improvement and
40:09
Speaker 2: the change. You know, we're teaching fundamentals more than actual plays.
40:14
Speaker 2: Now the plays are there, like they have a base
40:16
Speaker 2: offense and now they can build upon that later. So
40:19
Speaker 2: that said, a final chance to see the starters Saturday.
40:23
Speaker 2: What is the one thing you want to see the
40:26
Speaker 2: most out of this offense in the first half? You
40:29
Speaker 2: want to see production and energy, you know, I mean
40:33
Speaker 2: that's two things, but yes, I like that. I mean
40:36
Speaker 2: I think they coincide all together. But I mean, yeah,
40:38
Speaker 2: I mean the one thing that's special about game days
40:41
Speaker 2: is and with his football team, especially at home, you
40:43
Speaker 2: want to make home have that energy. And whether it's
40:47
Speaker 2: a preseason game, whether it's a regular season game, you
40:49
Speaker 2: want to make it feel like it's it's your place.
40:52
Speaker 2: And production breeds energy though absolutely, And so I want
40:57
Speaker 2: to see the energy. I want to see the positivity
41:00
Speaker 2: and you want to see guys be excited to play
41:04
Speaker 2: together because we really haven't seen him very much, you know,
41:07
Speaker 2: and you want to see Calvin Ridley have an impact.
41:10
Speaker 2: You want to see everybody else look like, Okay, that's
41:12
Speaker 2: the Evan Ingram that we know, that's the Zay Jones
41:15
Speaker 2: that we know, that's the guy that can get great separation.
41:18
Speaker 2: Christian Kirk, you know, and Trevor you know. I mean
41:22
Speaker 2: a lot of the fans have heard Doug and a
41:24
Speaker 2: lot of people talk and give Trevor rave reviews. I'm
41:27
Speaker 2: sure they want to see it for themselves, you know.
41:30
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of excitement I think on the
41:33
Speaker 2: offensive side of the ball, and then the defense has
41:35
Speaker 2: got excitement as well, but there's I think a little
41:38
Speaker 2: bit more questions on that side of the ball when
41:41
Speaker 2: we return Doug Peterson's player mindset going into the final
41:46
Speaker 2: preseason game, it's the Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio.
41:53
Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
41:58
Speaker 3: You just didn't know how much time you were going
42:00
Speaker 3: to get in that game to really showcase yourself, and
42:03
Speaker 3: and for me, it was just a matter of, you know,
42:06
Speaker 3: again making the most of the opportunity, you know, not
42:09
Speaker 3: forcing the issue or anything like that, but just going
42:11
Speaker 3: out and execute the offense right, you know, find the
42:13
Speaker 3: open receiver, make the right checks, whatever it might be.
42:16
Speaker 3: I think the older I got in the league, you know,
42:20
Speaker 3: the coaches again, they kind of understand what you can do,
42:24
Speaker 3: and they can trust you as a player. And so
42:27
Speaker 3: I didn't play as much in those last couple of
42:29
Speaker 3: preseason games because we let the younger guys, you know, play,
42:31
Speaker 3: and and and that's kind of where we are right now.
42:34
Speaker 3: Right we understand the Tyson Campbell's and you know, the guys,
42:39
Speaker 3: guys of that nature who we know they're on the team, right,
42:44
Speaker 3: So now we want to see these younger guys play
42:46
Speaker 3: and make the most of their opportunity and just see
42:49
Speaker 3: what they can do.
42:50
Speaker 2: That is head coach Doug Peterson. He said the secret word.
42:53
Speaker 2: So the duck comes down from the ceiling and he
42:55
Speaker 2: gets one hundred dollars. Trust is the key word in
42:59
Speaker 2: today's Doug Peterson's show. Where where does that come from?
43:02
Speaker 2: This from the show Mark's Uh, what's the name of
43:05
Speaker 2: that show? Duck comes down from the ceiling and you
43:08
Speaker 2: get a hundred bucks? You bet your life was the
43:10
Speaker 2: name of that show. When was that in the fifties.
43:14
Speaker 2: You weren't even a lot. I wasn't even close to
43:16
Speaker 2: a lot. Yeah. Did you watch it? Like three runs
43:19
Speaker 2: of that? I've seen it. Yeah, okay, all right. Trust
43:23
Speaker 2: is the word of the day. Well, and it's it's big,
43:26
Speaker 2: and we've talked about it and a lot of different applications.
43:30
Speaker 2: And you know, Doug is also talking about preseason games,
43:35
Speaker 2: and you know, the older I got and the more
43:37
Speaker 2: trust they had in me, and so they were playing
43:39
Speaker 2: the young guys, and I always liked that. I remember
43:42
Speaker 2: in preseason games, you know, the coaches would give you
43:44
Speaker 2: an idea of kind of the pitch count. They'd say, okay, hey, look,
43:47
Speaker 2: you know, we're we're looking to get you. You know,
43:50
Speaker 2: maybe you know, for example, like first game, you'd be like,
43:53
Speaker 2: you know, they'd say like eight to ten plays. Okay,
43:55
Speaker 2: You'd be out there on the field and you got
43:58
Speaker 2: one to come off sideline. After two series and it
44:04
Speaker 2: was let's say he was eight place total and you
44:06
Speaker 2: come off sideline and defensive line coach Greg, Hey, Greg,
44:09
Speaker 2: that was eight place? Am I done? Always keeping track? Oh?
44:14
Speaker 2: You're always keeping track?
44:15
Speaker 1: Right?
44:16
Speaker 2: You just wanted to get your time in and you
44:17
Speaker 2: know when you were a starter like Tyson Campbell, like
44:19
Speaker 2: Doug's talking about, not only do you know about him,
44:21
Speaker 2: but he's counting because he wants to get out. That
44:24
Speaker 2: is Jeff Logman. I'm JP Shadricker. Thanks to Mike McCoy,
44:27
Speaker 2: quarterbacks coach, as well in our entire crew. The Dolphins
