- 0:19Speaker 2: And Welcome in The Doug Peterson Show, presented by Fresh
- 0:22Speaker 2: from Florida from the Hyundai Studios at the Miller Electric Center.

- 0:32Speaker 2: us as always.
- 0:33Speaker 3: Good to see you, coach, Good to see you too,
- 0:34Speaker 3: Thank you so much. Yeah, so, Monday night football.
- 0:36Speaker 2: So the first time this franchise has played on Monday
- 0:40Speaker 2: night football since the twenty eleven season. It's a long
- 0:43Speaker 2: time ago, so most of us around here have no
- 0:46Speaker 2: idea how the schedule works. So we were waiting to
- 0:49Speaker 2: see what your schedule was this week and your adjustment
- 0:51Speaker 2: moving things back just today.
- 0:53Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, you know, I've always kept it, first of all,
- 0:55Speaker 4: It is amazing that it's been since twenty eleven, first
- 0:58Speaker 4: of all, and hopefully this is the beginning of many
- 1:00Speaker 4: more you know, Monday and Sunday night football games.
- 1:03Speaker 5: But you know, for me, I try to keep the players.
- 1:05Speaker 4: I do keep the players in a normal seven day week,
- 1:09Speaker 4: so I just kind of pushed the days back. So
- 1:11Speaker 4: Tuesday is like our Monday. Today is a Wednesday, you know,
- 1:17Speaker 4: Friday is a Thursday, and Saturday is a Friday. So
- 1:21Speaker 4: if that makes any sense to anybody, good luck, because
- 1:23Speaker 4: I still haven't been able to figure it out. But
- 1:25Speaker 4: I just keep the guys on a normal seven day
- 1:27Speaker 4: work week and it seems to seems to work pretty good.
- 1:29Speaker 2: But it does help at the start of that having
- 1:32Speaker 2: that extra off day to get guys right coming off
- 1:35Speaker 2: the Texans game.
- 1:36Speaker 5: It does, you know, and we need another little break
- 1:38Speaker 5: at this time of the year.
- 1:39Speaker 4: We've got some guys that are nicked up and banged up,
- 1:41Speaker 4: and and you know, it's kind of another little three
- 1:44Speaker 4: day mini bye, so to speak. So yeah, the guys
- 1:48Speaker 4: used it, you know, to their advantage to get rest
- 1:50Speaker 4: and now we make a push here in the month
- 1:52Speaker 4: of December.
- 1:53Speaker 3: You know.
- 1:54Speaker 2: One final thought about last week's game, and the game
- 1:57Speaker 2: turned obviously when Houston took the lead third quarter fourteen thirteen,
- 2:02Speaker 2: there was a question, Hey, which way is this Jags
- 2:04Speaker 2: team going to go? How do they respond, the next
- 2:05Speaker 2: two offensive drives scores, the next two defensive drives, you
- 2:09Speaker 2: get off the field, and that tells you about this
- 2:12Speaker 2: this group and their ability to handle a situation like
- 2:15Speaker 2: that where things might not have gone the right way
- 2:17Speaker 2: middle of the game, but they can come back and
- 2:20Speaker 2: bounce back immediately.
- 2:21Speaker 4: Yeah, And the other positives are really could have been
- 2:24Speaker 4: positives was Calvin's touchdown pass that was dropped and then
- 2:27Speaker 4: again possibly scoring at the end of the half. So
- 2:30Speaker 4: you're going up maybe you know, twenty to seven, twenty
- 2:34Speaker 4: to three, you know, some something like that, twenty to
- 2:37Speaker 4: you know, whatever it might be, or twenty seven points
- 2:40Speaker 4: at that particular time. But you know, I was really
- 2:42Speaker 4: pleased at how, you know, you know, how the team responded.
- 2:46Speaker 4: We did have the adversity there early third quarter, we
- 2:48Speaker 4: turned the ball over, they go down and score it,
- 2:50Speaker 4: as you mentioned, to take the lead. But you know,
- 2:52Speaker 4: after that, our team really settled in and and you know,
- 2:55Speaker 4: did an outstanding job. Defense, came up big obviously, and
- 2:58Speaker 4: just you know, making some critical critical stops, especially late
- 3:02Speaker 4: in the game to you know, make him kick that
- 3:04Speaker 4: long field goal.
- 3:06Speaker 2: Head coach Doug Peterson with us on the Doug Peterson show. Well,
- 3:09Speaker 2: let's get to the offensive line now. On the shuffle
- 3:11Speaker 2: up front. We saw the frustration on Cam Robinson's face
- 3:14Speaker 2: on the screen last week. It's gonna gonna be down
- 3:17Speaker 2: for a little bit. So Walker, little little left tackle,
- 3:20Speaker 2: Ezra Cleveland and left guard.
- 3:21Speaker 3: They had to jump in there during the game last week.
- 3:24Speaker 2: How did they perform and what's the confidence level up
- 3:27Speaker 2: front right now?
- 3:28Speaker 5: You know, they performed really well. There were no sacks giving.
- 3:30Speaker 4: Up and and you know, it just it's it's why
- 3:35Speaker 4: you it's why you go get veteran guys. It's why
- 3:38Speaker 4: you hang on two big bodies this time of year
- 3:41Speaker 4: because offensive and defensive linemen are gonna get banged up
- 3:43Speaker 4: and they're gonna miss a game or two, possibly three,
- 3:46Speaker 4: or you know, maybe Cam's case four. So you know,
- 3:49Speaker 4: they both stepped in, Ezra on about two weeks of preparation,
- 3:52Speaker 4: quite frankly, three weeks of preparation, and Walker bouncing out
- 3:55Speaker 4: to left tackle, which he hasn't been out there in
- 3:57Speaker 4: a while. So guys handled that extremely well. Now that
- 4:01Speaker 4: this is a full game week coming up, both those
- 4:04Speaker 4: guys will get more comfortable in their roles. Walker at
- 4:07Speaker 4: left tackle, Ezrat left guard and really solidify working together.
- 4:11Speaker 5: You know, going into this game, what's the first.
- 4:13Speaker 2: Thing that stands out about the Bengals on defense? We
- 4:16Speaker 2: all know about their offense. We'll get to that coming up,
- 4:18Speaker 2: But who are these guys on defense? What do they
- 4:21Speaker 2: do well?
- 4:22Speaker 5: You know, what they do well is this is a
- 4:24Speaker 5: sound defense.
- 4:24Speaker 4: They they don't give up a ton of yards, a
- 4:27Speaker 4: ton of explosive plays. I mean, much like the Buffalo Bills,
- 4:31Speaker 4: much like you know, the teams that have been together
- 4:35Speaker 4: for a while. This team has been together. There's some
- 4:37Speaker 4: this team has been to a super Bowl. This defense
- 4:39Speaker 4: has been there and they've done it, and they've been
- 4:41Speaker 4: on big games. They've been on the big stage, so
- 4:44Speaker 4: to speak.
- 4:45Speaker 5: And so you know, they've.
- 4:46Speaker 4: Got two good edge rushers, you know, and Hendrickson and Hubbard.
- 4:50Speaker 4: I think these are two quality dns. They're big in
- 4:53Speaker 4: the middle. Readers is a huge man inside, you know,
- 4:57Speaker 4: fifty five. Their middle linebackers is smart, young talented player.
- 5:00Speaker 4: And their secondary they got some really good young players
- 5:03Speaker 4: back there who play extremely well. And they do a
- 5:06Speaker 4: variety of stuff on defense just to keep you.
- 5:08Speaker 5: Off balanced offensively.
- 5:10Speaker 4: So you know, it's just a it's a style of
- 5:13Speaker 4: play that that there's a blend of a couple of
- 5:15Speaker 4: different defenses because of some of their personnel and really
- 5:18Speaker 4: their defensive staff, you know, come from different teams and
- 5:22Speaker 4: they're bringing a couple of things together and so you're
- 5:24Speaker 4: seeing a lot of that, but just a solid overall defense.
- 5:29Speaker 2: How much do you know about Zach Taylor and how
- 5:31Speaker 2: much do you pick Press's brain about his brother this
- 5:34Speaker 2: week at all?
- 5:35Speaker 3: Or does that even I know him?
- 5:37Speaker 5: You know, I know him a little bit.
- 5:38Speaker 4: I know him from being at the meetings and and
- 5:40Speaker 4: things of that nature and and whatnot. And we've spoke
- 5:42Speaker 4: on the phone, you know, several times, you know, in
- 5:44Speaker 4: the off season and things like that. But listen, I
- 5:46Speaker 4: don't I don't talk to you know, Press about it
- 5:49Speaker 4: at all. I just you know, Press is prepared for
- 5:53Speaker 4: you know, a game, just like just like Zach is.
- 5:55Speaker 4: And and you know, obviously they'll they may or may
- 5:58Speaker 4: not talk during the week, you know, I I wouldn't
- 6:00Speaker 4: expect them to talk. But uh, you know, I've I've
- 6:03Speaker 4: always admired Zach and what he's done there.
- 6:05Speaker 5: You know, he had some adversity early in his coaching career.
- 6:08Speaker 4: Uh in in Cincinnati and obviously led him to a
- 6:11Speaker 4: super Bowl, and and so he knows what it takes
- 6:14Speaker 4: right and he's a great leader.
- 6:15Speaker 5: Uh, he's done a nice show.
- 6:17Speaker 2: Joe Burrow's not around, you know, from a marketing perspective
- 6:22Speaker 2: in things that would have been a huge match up
- 6:24Speaker 2: Burrow versus Lawrence. From a coaching perspective, Okay, well, next
- 6:28Speaker 2: guy up, it's Jake Browning.
- 6:30Speaker 3: So where do you dig for Jake Browning tape? As
- 6:33Speaker 3: you know, after the.
- 6:34Speaker 2: Last two weeks that's always really had in games.
- 6:37Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the only only real meaningful reps he's taken.
- 6:40Speaker 4: And then you know, and and is that is that
- 6:42Speaker 4: enough to know exactly who he is? Probably not, you
- 6:44Speaker 4: really have to maybe dive back and and look into
- 6:47Speaker 4: some of the archives and just kind of figure out
- 6:48Speaker 4: who he is and and the and the things that
- 6:50Speaker 4: they're trying to do with him. But you know, ultimately
- 6:53Speaker 4: they're gonna try to do things through the run game.
- 6:55Speaker 5: They're gonna move him, they're gonna they're.
- 6:57Speaker 4: Gonna throw screens, they're gonna do everything they can to
- 6:59Speaker 4: keep defense off balance. They know, you know, we've got
- 7:02Speaker 4: a good run defense, and really the last couple of
- 7:05Speaker 4: weeks being able to put pressure on the quarterback. It
- 7:08Speaker 4: has been something that we've been able to do. So, uh,
- 7:10Speaker 4: you know they're gonna utilize the quick passing. Ball is
- 7:12Speaker 4: gonna be out of out of his hand extremely fast.
- 7:15Speaker 4: And you know he's smart enough and he's good enough
- 7:19Speaker 4: to to beat you down the field. You can't go
- 7:21Speaker 4: to sleep on him. But uh, you know, Zach will
- 7:25Speaker 4: be smart and and he'll he'll do the things that
- 7:28Speaker 4: he feels necessary to win a game.
- 7:30Speaker 2: Still got mixing back there, Still got Jamar Chase of
- 7:33Speaker 2: the outside. He's right there in the upper echelon of
- 7:35Speaker 2: wide receivers in the league exactly.
- 7:37Speaker 4: I mean there's still a lot of talent on offense.
- 7:40Speaker 4: And like I said, if it goes through the through
- 7:42Speaker 4: the run, game, through mixing, I mean he he.
- 7:44Speaker 5: Can do it all.
- 7:44Speaker 4: He can catch the ball out of the backfield, you
- 7:46Speaker 4: can screen it to him, obviously, he can hand it
- 7:48Speaker 4: to him. And then you know with with with Jamar Chase,
- 7:51Speaker 4: obviously we know the type of receiver he is. If
- 7:53Speaker 4: t Higgins comes back, there's another dangerous receiver on the outside.
- 7:57Speaker 4: So you know this this team is not shy of talent.
- 8:01Speaker 4: I mean, they've got plenty of talent on offense, and
- 8:03Speaker 4: and and Jake understands that. That's one of the things
- 8:06Speaker 4: you appreciate about the quarterback play is let those guys
- 8:08Speaker 4: work for you and just just try to find the
- 8:10Speaker 4: open receiver and give them the ball.
- 8:12Speaker 2: You had that role, you were backup quarterback, had to
- 8:14Speaker 2: jump in there occasionally.
- 8:15Speaker 4: Right, That's right, and that's what you got to do.
- 8:17Speaker 4: You just keep steering the ship.
- 8:18Speaker 2: Head coach Doug Peterson with us start of a three
- 8:21Speaker 2: game stretch against the AFC North big picture number three
- 8:25Speaker 2: seed currently, how much do you present that to the team?
- 8:28Speaker 2: Do you show them all the scenarios or is it hey,
- 8:30Speaker 2: all eyes on the Bengals this week.
- 8:32Speaker 5: I think big picture.
- 8:33Speaker 4: I want I want to I want to show the
- 8:35Speaker 4: team where we are and what we've kind of accomplished
- 8:37Speaker 4: and where we sit big picture. But uh that that
- 8:41Speaker 4: lasts about twenty seconds, and then and then the next
- 8:44Speaker 4: the next six days is about this football game and
- 8:47Speaker 4: and really focusing in on doing our job. And you know, listen,
- 8:51Speaker 4: if we just continue to take care of business, well
- 8:53Speaker 4: the dust will settle at the end of the season.
- 8:55Speaker 4: We'll figure out where we are, and we're not gonna
- 8:56Speaker 4: worry about that right now. And and we've got a
- 8:58Speaker 4: talent at Cincinnati team coming here on Monday night. They
- 9:01Speaker 4: again have been on the big stage. They know how
- 9:03Speaker 4: to handle these moments. And and so you know, for
- 9:06Speaker 4: me as the head coach here, making sure our guys,
- 9:09Speaker 4: you know, don't make it bigger than it already is,
- 9:11Speaker 4: right and and uh, stay level headed, stay grounded, control
- 9:15Speaker 4: the emotions, all that type of thing, and go out
- 9:17Speaker 4: and play our best football.
- 9:18Speaker 2: Finally, it's the my cause, my cleats game? Are you
- 9:21Speaker 2: doing shoes this year?
- 9:23Speaker 3: I am am? What is the cause?
- 9:25Speaker 6: Uh?
- 9:25Speaker 4: Pancratic cancer, you know, to honor my brother, you know,
- 9:28Speaker 4: and and what he went through and and a couple
- 9:30Speaker 4: of years ago. Uh so yeah, so you know, the
- 9:32Speaker 4: family again, we'll we'll do that and and you know,
- 9:35Speaker 4: obviously but before you know, before you just kind of
- 9:41Speaker 4: maybe pick and choose a cause that maybe you support
- 9:44Speaker 4: or something like that. But this one now, being closer
- 9:47Speaker 4: to to us as a family, is something that we
- 9:50Speaker 4: can we can honor and cherish and obviously honor my
- 9:52Speaker 4: brother you know through this and and it's a great opportunity.
- 9:56Speaker 4: I love doing it and we'll continue to do it and.
- 9:58Speaker 2: The players have all their great call well, it's always
- 10:01Speaker 2: a fun week to see what the guys come up
- 10:03Speaker 2: with on the field. So really cool the NFL is
- 10:06Speaker 2: allowing the players to do this and for great causes
- 10:09Speaker 2: all around the league. Monday night football lights are on
- 10:13Speaker 2: packed house, a blackout, can't wait, right, This is what
- 10:16Speaker 2: you live.
- 10:16Speaker 5: For, This is what you live for.
- 10:18Speaker 4: These are the moments that you want to be in
- 10:19Speaker 4: as a football player, as a coach. And it's like
- 10:22Speaker 4: I told our team, you know, last week, expect to
- 10:24Speaker 4: be in these games.
- 10:25Speaker 5: Don't just think that we're going to be in them
- 10:27Speaker 5: once in a while. Expect to be in these games.
- 10:29Speaker 4: And how we handle this, I think goes a long
- 10:32Speaker 4: way to you know, having more games in the future,
- 10:35Speaker 4: you know, in prime time.
- 10:36Speaker 3: Great to see you, coach, Thanks for the time as always.
- 10:38Speaker 5: Yep, you bet, Thank you.

- 10:50Speaker 2: the Jaguars Radio Network.
- 11:05Speaker 1: Welcome back the Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
- 11:09Speaker 2: The Doug Peterson Show, presented by Fresh from Florida from
- 11:12Speaker 2: the Hyundai Studios at the middle of Electric Center. JP
- 11:15Speaker 2: Shadick with you know Jeff Logoman this week. He'll be
- 11:17Speaker 2: back with us next week. Our thanks to head coach
- 11:19Speaker 2: Doug Peterson joining us in the opening segment each and
- 11:23Speaker 2: every week and joining us now in studios. Jaguars dot
- 11:27Speaker 2: Com senior writer John Osier, Good afternoon.
- 11:30Speaker 7: John, And that's why I've ever followed that before.
- 11:32Speaker 3: Kind of it's tough, tough to do, can do it,
- 11:35Speaker 3: it is nearly impossible.
- 11:37Speaker 7: We'll start there.
- 11:38Speaker 3: So this is where we are.
- 11:40Speaker 2: Hey, you know, it's a head coach that has a
- 11:44Speaker 2: confident football team. It feels like right now they're missing
- 11:47Speaker 2: some things. Yeah, they missed on the touchdown before halftime.
- 11:50Speaker 2: Yeah they threw the interception, but they found a way
- 11:53Speaker 2: to take the lead right back in the third quarter
- 11:55Speaker 2: when they lost it and won another football game. And
- 11:58Speaker 2: now it's seven of eight and you just kind of
- 12:00Speaker 2: feel this little surge of momentum from this group of
- 12:04Speaker 2: that locker room.
- 12:05Speaker 8: Well, they know how to win, and it's such a
- 12:08Speaker 8: striking difference, you know, from this time last or actually
- 12:12Speaker 8: at this time last year, but about midway through last season.
- 12:16Speaker 8: They've played twenty two games since this little stretch start
- 12:22Speaker 8: at sixteen and six, and the teams they've lost to
- 12:25Speaker 8: are with Kansas City three times, a good Houston team,
- 12:28Speaker 8: a good San Francisco team, and a good Lions team.
- 12:32Speaker 8: This team knows how to win games they ought to
- 12:34Speaker 8: win because they know that at certain points of the
- 12:38Speaker 8: game they know how to take control and key moments.
- 12:41Speaker 8: That's kind of what you're talking about. They had every
- 12:45Speaker 8: reason early on Sunday in the second half to sort
- 12:49Speaker 8: of be deflated. You know, they had not gotten the
- 12:51Speaker 8: touchdown at the end of the half. They come out
- 12:54Speaker 8: and throw the pick. Not really its fault necessarily, but
- 12:58Speaker 8: it was picked nonetheless, and then you're down by one.
- 13:02Speaker 8: You know, I had not a great feeling about that
- 13:07Speaker 8: game at that point.
- 13:08Speaker 3: They had.
- 13:10Speaker 7: Your classic is.
- 13:13Speaker 8: You leave a team the opportunity to be in the game,
- 13:16Speaker 8: and then that team's playing at home in a big game.
- 13:20Speaker 8: A lot of times that goes the other way, and
- 13:22Speaker 8: as you point out in the locker room, a couple
- 13:24Speaker 8: of times today they took control of it, got a
- 13:27Speaker 8: defensive stop, got up by ten and from that time
- 13:30Speaker 8: on in the game, the Texans are playing uphill. They
- 13:32Speaker 8: almost completed the hill climb. Sure, but when you're playing
- 13:35Speaker 8: uphill in the NFL, it's hard to get over that top.
- 13:38Speaker 8: And that's where the Jaguars if and coaching has to
- 13:42Speaker 8: do with it. I think players stay calm, but they
- 13:44Speaker 8: have confidence in those situations that they're going to win
- 13:46Speaker 8: the game. And at sixteen and six over the last
- 13:51Speaker 8: twenty two games, they should have confidence. They're a veteran
- 13:54Speaker 8: team that knows how to win.
- 13:56Speaker 2: John will is the biggest takeaway from the locker room today. Endo,
- 14:00Speaker 2: this Monday night came.
- 14:02Speaker 3: For you.
- 14:03Speaker 8: Probably that again, that confidence and you know they go
- 14:09Speaker 8: into this maybe it's time to share the locker room.
- 14:11Speaker 7: Just my vibe about the game.
- 14:14Speaker 8: It's a game they ought to win, and I think
- 14:16Speaker 8: they are concentrating on it to that degree. Monday night
- 14:20Speaker 8: lights were a big topic today. I think they're excited
- 14:25Speaker 8: about that. I would think that excitement. Maybe it's not
- 14:30Speaker 8: a locker room takeaways, it's a vibe you get from
- 14:32Speaker 8: talking to the players. Seventy five percent of the nation
- 14:35Speaker 8: saw San Francisco, and seventy five er sent the Nation
- 14:38Speaker 8: therefore saw the Jaguars play pretty bad. Sure, I don't
- 14:42Speaker 8: think they want to get just like last week when
- 14:46Speaker 8: I thought going into that, I think Doug probably at
- 14:50Speaker 8: some point told the guys last week, hey see this
- 14:55Speaker 8: first Houston game. Do you think you're that no coach? Well,
- 15:00Speaker 8: then go show them, you know what I mean. So
- 15:01Speaker 8: I think this is another sort of go show him game. Look,
- 15:06Speaker 8: you're better than you played the last time. You showed
- 15:08Speaker 8: the nation what you were. If you don't want them
- 15:11Speaker 8: to think that you're that team, you better go out
- 15:13Speaker 8: and play. And I think combination of Monday night, combination
- 15:18Speaker 8: of the Bengals, to me, don't feel right now like
- 15:21Speaker 8: a team that's going to get away from you offensively.
- 15:25Speaker 8: So I think there'll be a calmness on the Jags part.
- 15:28Speaker 8: I expect it to be a game where the defense
- 15:31Speaker 8: plays well in the first half, gives the offense a
- 15:33Speaker 8: chance to go start functioning, and then in the second half.
- 15:38Speaker 8: I think they'll maybe a little like the Tennessee game
- 15:41Speaker 8: when the defense stop stop stopping, then the offense said, Okay, now.
- 15:45Speaker 7: We're ready to go.
- 15:46Speaker 8: I mean, it could feel a little like that, maybe
- 15:49Speaker 8: not the blowout that that game was, but I think
- 15:51Speaker 8: the defense right now is playing well enough to give
- 15:53Speaker 8: the offense a chance to get rolling.
- 15:56Speaker 2: We got plenty of head John stick around. We'll come
- 15:58Speaker 2: back and get to the defense. And Josh Allen, we
- 16:01Speaker 2: were both around his locker today and hey, he's feeling.
- 16:05Speaker 3: It right now. Good player, there's no doubt about that. Jackson.

- 16:23Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
- 16:28Speaker 2: And The Doug Peterson Show is presented by Fresh from
- 16:31Speaker 2: Florida J P. Shadrick. With you, Jeff logoban out this week.
- 16:35Speaker 2: You'll be back with us next week. The Jaguars have
- 16:37Speaker 2: Monday Night Football this week, Week thirteen. The Cincinnati Bengals
- 16:42Speaker 2: at five and six, the Jaguars at eight and three,
- 16:44Speaker 2: first place in the AFC South, two games clear of
- 16:47Speaker 2: the Colts and the Texans, and the number three seat
- 16:50Speaker 2: currently in the AFC playoff Chase Jaguars dot Com Senior
- 16:54Speaker 2: writer John Osier with us in studio and we were
- 16:58Speaker 2: both around the locker today of one Josh Allen outside linebacker,
- 17:03Speaker 2: thirty eight tackles, twelve sacks, ten tackles for loss, twenty
- 17:08Speaker 2: two quarterback hits.
- 17:11Speaker 3: And he had him in big moments last week.
- 17:13Speaker 2: Obviously the sack and a half on the key final
- 17:16Speaker 2: drive and the difference in yardage was obviously the difference
- 17:19Speaker 2: in the in the field goal hitting the crossbar and
- 17:22Speaker 2: not on the sack that he split with Trayvon Walker
- 17:24Speaker 2: at the end. It was a nine yard sack. They
- 17:26Speaker 2: got seven back on the next play, two yards different.
- 17:29Speaker 2: It is a big deal. But hey, the numbers are
- 17:32Speaker 2: racking up for him. His confidence is there and he's
- 17:35Speaker 2: playing big. He's he has turned into a game wrecking
- 17:40Speaker 2: player an outside linebacker.
- 17:42Speaker 7: Yeah, and as he couldn't be happier for me. He's such.
- 17:48Speaker 8: A good guy in my opinion, and has worked hard
- 17:52Speaker 8: to get here. I you know, I don't really necessarily
- 17:58Speaker 8: believe that he's that much better than he always has been,
- 18:03Speaker 8: and that's not to take away from what he's doing.
- 18:06Speaker 8: I just think he's always been a really good player
- 18:08Speaker 8: for this team who has been unfairly criticized at times
- 18:12Speaker 8: because the sack total wasn't where ideally it was. I
- 18:16Speaker 8: think a lot of that for a lot of years
- 18:17Speaker 8: had to do with you know, when you trail by
- 18:20Speaker 8: a bunch of points, teams aren't gonna be in passing
- 18:23Speaker 8: situations to allow you to get home. So I think
- 18:26Speaker 8: that had something to do with it. I think he
- 18:28Speaker 8: is better. I'm not saying he's not closing better, but
- 18:32Speaker 8: I guess my point in that is, I'm.
- 18:35Speaker 7: Not sure it's fair necessarily for people to say.
- 18:38Speaker 8: And I get a lot of emails like this, it's
- 18:39Speaker 8: contract years playing great. Yeah, I don't know that it's
- 18:43Speaker 8: necessarily Josh is in his head and I'm gonn get
- 18:45Speaker 8: a big contracts.
- 18:45Speaker 7: I'm gonna play good. I think he continues to improve, continues.
- 18:48Speaker 8: To work hard, and he's to be professional and this
- 18:51Speaker 8: is the result. And I don't think you're necessarily running
- 18:53Speaker 8: a risk by signing him.
- 18:56Speaker 7: To a big deal.
- 18:58Speaker 8: He's so reliable, so motivated, such a good leader, such
- 19:02Speaker 8: a good locker room guy, that he's the kind of
- 19:06Speaker 8: guy that you want to have a contract year in
- 19:08Speaker 8: the right year, right, Like some guys, you have it
- 19:12Speaker 8: and you think, well, the team's got to resign him
- 19:14Speaker 8: now that might not be a great thing with this guy.
- 19:17Speaker 8: You know, I think he's the whole package and always
- 19:20Speaker 8: has been. I've always thought with Josh his floor is
- 19:23Speaker 8: so high. I mean, even when he's not having a
- 19:25Speaker 8: big sack year. To me, you heard me say it
- 19:29Speaker 8: a million times last year, JP, he was always the
- 19:32Speaker 8: guy that when there was a defensive guy down and
- 19:35Speaker 8: you sort of look up and you know you're trying
- 19:37Speaker 8: to figure out who it is everybody's surrounding him. He
- 19:39Speaker 8: was always the guy that I said, boy, I hope
- 19:41Speaker 8: it's not Josh, because he was the one guy even
- 19:43Speaker 8: on a non big sack year.
- 19:45Speaker 7: I don't know how you replace him.
- 19:47Speaker 8: You know everything that he does, you don't want him
- 19:50Speaker 8: off the field, and you sure don't want him on
- 19:51Speaker 8: the field this year.
- 19:52Speaker 3: No, not at all.
- 19:53Speaker 2: The way he's playing right now. And then on the
- 19:55Speaker 2: other side, Trayvon Walker twenty nine tackles four and a
- 19:58Speaker 2: half sacks. They're moving those guys around in different scenarios
- 20:01Speaker 2: last week, which was cool.
- 20:03Speaker 8: Yeah to me, Trayvon. If Josh was the most overly
- 20:09Speaker 8: criticized player last year, I don't think.
- 20:12Speaker 7: I don't hear that much.
- 20:12Speaker 8: Chris is about Trayvon anymore the last couple of weeks.
- 20:15Speaker 8: But you know, with apologies to Josh, I think Trayvon
- 20:19Speaker 8: might be the key to the whole thing now just
- 20:21Speaker 8: Josh's numbers, but he is so stout when when Tomlin
- 20:26Speaker 8: called him a wrecking.
- 20:27Speaker 7: Ball the last before.
- 20:30Speaker 8: They played the Steelers, a lot of people dismiss that
- 20:33Speaker 8: he he takes away sides of the field in the
- 20:36Speaker 8: run game. To me, and you watch him collapsing the pocket,
- 20:43Speaker 8: I don't think this defense wants to be without Josh
- 20:45Speaker 8: Allen then would be about Trayvon Walker either. Those two
- 20:48Speaker 8: guys to me make this defense really really hard to attack.
- 20:55Speaker 8: I think it's hard to run against this team because
- 20:57Speaker 8: you've got to run away from Trayvon Walker and then
- 20:59Speaker 8: you running away from and you're running toward Josh Allen.
- 21:03Speaker 8: That's not good either, So and you got to go
- 21:07Speaker 8: up the middle and I try to find a way
- 21:09Speaker 8: to run around Foyer. So a really good front seven.
- 21:15Speaker 8: And to me, Treyvon and Josh are maybe the two keys.
- 21:19Speaker 8: With apologies to four or five other guys.
- 21:21Speaker 3: There's a bunch of guys. Yeah, raise their hand as well.
- 21:23Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean folly fight Acasi Roy Lucan Roy. I mean,
- 21:28Speaker 8: this is a hard, hard defense to run against, and
- 21:32Speaker 8: that sets up everything else.
- 21:34Speaker 3: Let's come back in a moment.
- 21:35Speaker 2: The offensive line shuffling around a little bit, but this
- 21:37Speaker 2: could be the starting five for the foreseeable future for
- 21:41Speaker 2: the Jaguars. That's after this with John Oser It's the
- 21:44Speaker 2: Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
- 21:51Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now and.
- 21:55Speaker 2: The Doug Peterson Show is presented by Fresh from Florida
- 21:59Speaker 2: JP Shadow with you, Jeff Vlog wan out this week.
- 22:02Speaker 3: Can be back with us next time around.
- 22:04Speaker 2: John Osier, Jaguars dot Com senior writer, stepping in for
- 22:08Speaker 2: a few segments tonight. Always a pleasure, John. This is
- 22:11Speaker 2: like the old days. It's like the original Jaguars dot Com.
- 22:14Speaker 7: That's right, the original team crew, getting the crew of
- 22:17Speaker 7: at you get one bomb.
- 22:18Speaker 3: Yeah, here we go, and now we get a brand
- 22:20Speaker 3: new building.
- 22:20Speaker 2: All these fantastic folks in the department getting things done
- 22:24Speaker 2: here on Jaguars dot Com and the Jaguars Radio Network.
- 22:27Speaker 2: Glad you're along with us tonight for the Jaguars and
- 22:30Speaker 2: the Bengals coming up this Monday on Monday Night football.
- 22:34Speaker 2: And again, stop me if you've heard this before. This season,
- 22:38Speaker 2: there are changes in the offensive line for the Jaguars.
- 22:41Speaker 2: That's been quite a season up front. Of course, the
- 22:44Speaker 2: start of the season it was Walker a Little left
- 22:46Speaker 2: tackle with Cam Robinson out with the suspension. Then Game
- 22:50Speaker 2: five in London they switched that up. It lasted eleven plays.
- 22:53Speaker 2: Walker Little got hurt in the game against Buffalo. He
- 22:57Speaker 2: had to leave and was out for a little bit
- 23:00Speaker 2: it and then finally came back to play left guard.
- 23:04Speaker 2: And then Cam Robinson gets hurt at left tackle. So
- 23:07Speaker 2: last week they switched during the game and Walker Little
- 23:11Speaker 2: goes to left tackle. Ezra Cleveland, who was added at
- 23:14Speaker 2: the deadline from Minnesota, jumps into the game at left
- 23:17Speaker 2: guard and this could be the foreseeable left side of
- 23:22Speaker 2: the line for at least the next month with Cam
- 23:25Speaker 2: Robinson on the shlf.
- 23:26Speaker 8: Yeah, and as you alluded to, we've done a lot
- 23:29Speaker 8: of show together over the years, So stop me if
- 23:31Speaker 8: you've heard this before. Okay, in the off season and
- 23:36Speaker 8: even during the season, we have we've become an age
- 23:39Speaker 8: where people like to play depth.
- 23:40Speaker 7: Chart football, like, oh, you know.
- 23:43Speaker 8: It, And there's always a thing of everybody thinks about
- 23:47Speaker 8: the starting five, and you know, if you're a starter,
- 23:50Speaker 8: you're great, and if you're not a starter, you suck, right.
- 23:53Speaker 8: I mean that's sort of the you know, oh, he's
- 23:55Speaker 8: not starting, he must be a he must be a bust.
- 23:58Speaker 7: He's not starting. You know.
- 24:00Speaker 8: Well, the Jaguars in the last couple of years have really,
- 24:05Speaker 8: I think every team thinks this. The Jaguars have really,
- 24:07Speaker 8: you know, done it. They believe they need seven or
- 24:12Speaker 8: eight offensive linemen to get through a season.
- 24:14Speaker 7: You saw it last year.
- 24:15Speaker 8: Tyler Shatley comes in for BArch and Walker Little steps
- 24:19Speaker 8: in for Cam Robinson. I don't think they make the
- 24:21Speaker 8: postseason if those two guys don't play at a high
- 24:23Speaker 8: level last year. They they have played it this year,
- 24:28Speaker 8: bringing in Ezra Cleveland, having Walker Little, they're and available
- 24:32Speaker 8: at left guard to kick out. Shattley is still there.
- 24:40Speaker 8: People have asked me, do you you know what happens
- 24:43Speaker 8: when Cam comes back?
- 24:44Speaker 3: Whatever?
- 24:45Speaker 8: I truly think these coaches look at these guys. Not
- 24:48Speaker 8: much between Walker Little and Cam Robinson. Not much between
- 24:51Speaker 8: Walker Little and Ezra Cleveland. Maybe even Shatley put him
- 24:54Speaker 8: in that bunch. I expect the offensive line to play
- 24:57Speaker 8: just as well, if not better as they get continuity
- 25:00Speaker 8: with these guys. I don't think they think there's much
- 25:03Speaker 8: of a difference between those seven five have to start,
- 25:06Speaker 8: But Walker little, I don't think they think there's that
- 25:09Speaker 8: much of a diference between him and Cam on the outside.
- 25:11Speaker 2: Well they didn't last year either, right, so uh oh,
- 25:16Speaker 2: well why don't you trade them?
- 25:17Speaker 7: Well all off season that's all I heard about Cam? Camp? Trade,
- 25:20Speaker 7: Cam trade, Cam, trade this guy. Trade. Have good players
- 25:25Speaker 7: available because.
- 25:26Speaker 8: In the NFL, you always there's not twenty two stars.
- 25:31Speaker 8: In the NFL, you need about thirty and run the
- 25:33Speaker 8: offensive line. They got a bunch of starters, and credit
- 25:37Speaker 8: to them for coaching acquiring players that way and for
- 25:40Speaker 8: the players to buy an into it. I think they'll
- 25:44Speaker 8: be fine moving forward with this with this bunch. I
- 25:46Speaker 8: don't know what will happen in four weeks when that
- 25:47Speaker 8: Cam comes back.
- 25:48Speaker 3: I mean, you can't really predict the future.
- 25:50Speaker 2: But you know, if this group in theory is playing
- 25:53Speaker 2: well to above average, then why would you, you know,
- 25:58Speaker 2: shake up.
- 25:58Speaker 3: The Apple car? Right?
- 25:59Speaker 8: You may not, but then they also may at that
- 26:01Speaker 8: point need Cam to come back, because you just don't
- 26:04Speaker 8: know what you know you have got to plan for
- 26:08Speaker 8: attrition on the offensive line. May attration might be too strong,
- 26:12Speaker 8: but ins and outs, which is what they've had this year,
- 26:15Speaker 8: and I think they'll be fine moving forward with as much.
- 26:17Speaker 2: It'll be something to watch certainly, and hey, it's been
- 26:20Speaker 2: a storyline all season long, but this will be the
- 26:23Speaker 2: left side of the line for at least the next month.
- 26:26Speaker 2: You know, the receiving corps is back, and everybody's back,
- 26:30Speaker 2: and say Jones is back, and everybody's making catches and
- 26:35Speaker 2: for the most part, and you know, the only one
- 26:37Speaker 2: of those big four that doesn't have a touchdown catch
- 26:40Speaker 2: this year is Evan Ingram.
- 26:43Speaker 8: Yeah, and I think Trevor Price said it best today. Well,
- 26:46Speaker 8: I haven't thrown that many, so it's probably not Evan's fault.
- 26:49Speaker 8: I'm paraphrasing that. I think that's just sort of coincidental.
- 26:55Speaker 8: You know, a little stretch where the offense wasn't converting
- 26:59Speaker 8: in the red zone, didn't work great in the red
- 27:02Speaker 8: zone last week and still won. Probably combines to account
- 27:09Speaker 8: for that a little bit. I think Kevin will have
- 27:11Speaker 8: a couple of touchdowns for the end of the season.
- 27:13Speaker 8: He still very much matters, I don't you know, I
- 27:15Speaker 8: know he'd like to have touchdowns. I don't think he's
- 27:17Speaker 8: that overly worried that he's never gonna catch a touchdown
- 27:20Speaker 8: pass again. It was interesting last week that in the
- 27:25Speaker 8: biggest output game passing wise, it was eighty nine Redly
- 27:29Speaker 8: eighty nine, Kirk fifty five, Luke Ferrell forty nine, Ingram.
- 27:34Speaker 8: You know a lot of guys contributing. I think that's
- 27:38Speaker 8: what they think works best, and it felt last week
- 27:43Speaker 8: smoother and more organic than anything they've done in the
- 27:47Speaker 8: passing game so far. I don't think the passing game
- 27:51Speaker 8: is going to be a major issue going forward.
- 27:53Speaker 6: Me.
- 27:53Speaker 7: I think it's gonna be fine.
- 27:54Speaker 3: Sure.
- 27:54Speaker 8: To me, the key is when this team gets in
- 27:57Speaker 8: the red zone and starts getting close, can they run
- 28:01Speaker 8: when they need to run? If they can unlock that,
- 28:07Speaker 8: I think all of a sudden, your red zone gets easier.
- 28:12Speaker 8: Teams believe even more that you're going to run, and
- 28:15Speaker 8: that sets up the pass to work. I think the
- 28:19Speaker 8: passing game will start moving if they can just get
- 28:23Speaker 8: this short yardage thing figured out. Then I think all
- 28:25Speaker 8: of a sudden, you start seeing points go way way up.
- 28:29Speaker 3: Like there's a short yardage thing. Oh yeah, that we
- 28:31Speaker 3: kind of buried the lead.
- 28:32Speaker 2: That's a lot of the fans are kind of worried
- 28:35Speaker 2: about over the last a little while.
- 28:37Speaker 7: And fairly so. I mean it, third and short feels
- 28:41Speaker 7: like third.
- 28:41Speaker 8: And long for this team sometimes. And don't mean I
- 28:46Speaker 8: was a line played better last week as a pass
- 28:48Speaker 8: blocking unit. Still you just wonder about that push hasn't
- 28:53Speaker 8: been there consistently enough. You know, Ezra Cleveland coming in times.
- 28:59Speaker 8: It looked better last week. So with cohesion, does that
- 29:02Speaker 8: start moving? Uh, it's what you hope. I don't know
- 29:07Speaker 8: how to predict that because we haven't seen it yet,
- 29:09Speaker 8: but it's there are times that cohesion with the right
- 29:13Speaker 8: bunch can unlock that even when it hasn't been there before.
- 29:16Speaker 8: It's maybe the position that depends most on cohesion.
- 29:18Speaker 7: So maybe we'll see it.
- 29:21Speaker 2: Johnny Oh, I owe you a bullet bob next time
- 29:24Speaker 2: we're it strings.
- 29:26Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, I can do that too.
- 29:29Speaker 7: Appreciate you, man, fantastic buddy.
- 29:30Speaker 2: Appreciate you, John Oh's you're joining us here in the
- 29:33Speaker 2: Miller Electric Center in the Hyundai studios. Will return with
- 29:37Speaker 2: Fred Taylor Pride to the Jaguars running back. He's a
- 29:40Speaker 2: Hall of Fame semi finalist. We'll get his thoughts on
- 29:43Speaker 2: that right after this. It's the Doug Peterson Show on
- 29:46Speaker 2: Jaguars Radio.
- 29:57Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
- 30:02Speaker 2: And The Doug Peterson Show is presented by Fresh from Florida,
- 30:05Speaker 2: J P. Shadwick with you on this Thursday. No Jeff
- 30:08Speaker 2: Logman this week. I'll be back with us next time around,
- 30:12Speaker 2: right thanks to head coach Doug Peterson. He joins us
- 30:14Speaker 2: in the opening segment each and every Doug Peterson Show.
- 30:17Speaker 3: And we caught up with the head coach earlier today.
- 30:20Speaker 2: John Oser, Jaguars dot Com senior writer, was some great analysis.
- 30:25Speaker 2: Josh Allen talk offensive line. A lot going on for
- 30:27Speaker 2: this eight and three Jaguars team. They'll entertain the Cincinnati
- 30:31Speaker 2: Bengals this Monday Night Monday Night Football for the first
- 30:34Speaker 2: time for the Jags since twenty eleven. We'll get to
- 30:37Speaker 2: more of that in just a little bit. Also this week,
- 30:40Speaker 2: the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced the semi finalist
- 30:43Speaker 2: group twenty five players in the semifinals for the Pro
- 30:47Speaker 2: Football Hall of Fame Class of twenty twenty four, including
- 30:51Speaker 2: now for the fifth time, Pride of the Jaguars running
- 30:54Speaker 2: back Fred Taylor again a semi finalists.
- 30:58Speaker 6: I'm good man, thank you so much.
- 31:00Speaker 9: It feels good to be back amongst those top twenty
- 31:04Speaker 9: five and be a semi finalist for.
- 31:06Speaker 6: The fifth time. I believe that's encouraging, you know.
- 31:11Speaker 9: I think that, you know, the more opportunities I am
- 31:14Speaker 9: a semi finalist, I should be able to crack the room,
- 31:17Speaker 9: the top fifteen as we like to call it, and
- 31:19Speaker 9: be able to get in the room to where the
- 31:21Speaker 9: conversation gets a bit more serious and people pay a
- 31:25Speaker 9: little bit more attention to you, to your resume and
- 31:29Speaker 9: the things you were able to do as a player.
- 31:32Speaker 9: I like my chances this year of getting in the room,
- 31:36Speaker 9: chances of being you know, nominated for the final five.
- 31:42Speaker 9: You know, you kind of play look at the list
- 31:44Speaker 9: and do this and do that. You know, not that
- 31:47Speaker 9: I'm being pessimistic, but I'm being more realistic. When you
- 31:50Speaker 9: look at those guys breaking that list down, I think
- 31:54Speaker 9: Julius Pepper's gotta go, Antonio Gates gotta go. These are
- 31:57Speaker 9: two guys who are statistically in the top five at
- 32:02Speaker 9: their respective positions. Tory hope he's been a semi finalist.
- 32:06Speaker 9: I believe this is his tenth year. He's also been
- 32:09Speaker 9: a finalist. So they have a backlog of receivers. They
- 32:12Speaker 9: got to start clearing some of those guys out. So
- 32:14Speaker 9: I believe they'll probably take two receivers this year, maybe Toy,
- 32:18Speaker 9: maybe Reggie Wayne, Jared Allen who had a monster career
- 32:22Speaker 9: as well. I'm thinking about Devin Hester, one of the
- 32:27Speaker 9: greatest returners ever.
- 32:28Speaker 6: You know, are they gonna make him? Wait?
- 32:30Speaker 9: Are they gonna look and say, hey, you're supposed to
- 32:32Speaker 9: be in there? So when you try to crunch those
- 32:36Speaker 9: numbers and say, how can we it's five guys, are
- 32:40Speaker 9: they ever going to push it to seven?
- 32:43Speaker 6: Like?
- 32:43Speaker 9: You can take two more, right, you can increase it
- 32:46Speaker 9: by twenty percent or so and create room and more
- 32:51Speaker 9: space and get rid of a bit of a backlog there.
- 32:54Speaker 9: But I don't know, you know. I say all that
- 32:57Speaker 9: to say, I'm thankful when it happens God time and
- 33:00Speaker 9: it's the best timing. But for now, JP, it's time
- 33:04Speaker 9: for Monday night football in doo ball, baby, And.
- 33:07Speaker 6: That's what is about.
- 33:09Speaker 2: That's Fred Taylor, of course, Pride of the Jaguars running back.
- 33:12Speaker 2: The full conversation with Freddie t most of it ran
- 33:16Speaker 2: earlier on a show here in Jacksonville, Jaguars Happy Hour,
- 33:19Speaker 2: and the archive of that available in the official Jaguars
- 33:22Speaker 2: podcast Network. Coming Up or Countdown to Kickoff that will
- 33:26Speaker 2: run on Saturday on the podcast network, and yes, Countdown
- 33:30Speaker 2: to Kickoff the show on Monday Night ahead of Monday
- 33:34Speaker 2: Night Football, we'll hear from Fred again at seven o'clock
- 33:38Speaker 2: is when that show begins here on the network. Ahead
- 33:40Speaker 2: of Week thirteen the Bengals and the Jaguars. We always
- 33:44Speaker 2: have Fred Taylor in Jaguars postgame as well with instant
- 33:47Speaker 2: analysis after the game. And by now we all know
- 33:51Speaker 2: for the most part, Fred's totals in his career seventeenth
- 33:55Speaker 2: on the old time rushing yardage list in the National
- 33:57Speaker 2: Football League, eleven six ninety five yards, forty second on
- 34:01Speaker 2: the career rushing touchdown list, and a career rushing the
- 34:06Speaker 2: yards per rush average of four point six pretty incredible. Obviously,
- 34:12Speaker 2: we remember the highlight plays from Fred and those will
- 34:15Speaker 2: stand out once. The next step now is to get
- 34:18Speaker 2: into the finalist mode down to fifteen.
- 34:21Speaker 3: We've gone through this before with Bisselli. Obviously, well you
- 34:25Speaker 3: get down to fifteen, that gets you in the room.
- 34:27Speaker 3: So to speak. That's the.
- 34:30Speaker 2: Verbiage they use for it, and that gets you talked
- 34:33Speaker 2: about and discussed on Super Bowl weekend when the selection
- 34:38Speaker 2: committee meets for the Hall of Fame. And it could
- 34:41Speaker 2: still be a process for Fred, but it's a good
- 34:44Speaker 2: step to be a semi finalist again and then at
- 34:47Speaker 2: some point he'll get into that top fifteen and they'll
- 34:49Speaker 2: have to discuss and they'll have to talk about some
- 34:52Speaker 2: of the huge highlight moments and plays and longevity he
- 34:55Speaker 2: had at the running back position here in Jacksonville. We'll
- 34:59Speaker 2: look for to that day when it happens. We're back
- 35:03Speaker 2: in a moment. We'll hear from Walker Little, Jaguars left
- 35:06Speaker 2: tackle moving back to the outside this week again. He
- 35:10Speaker 2: jumped over there last week in place with Cam Robinson
- 35:13Speaker 2: who was injured in the game in Houston. We'll hear
- 35:15Speaker 2: from Walker Little and much more ahead the injury report
- 35:18Speaker 2: ahead as well, ahead of this Monday night football matchup
- 35:22Speaker 2: the Jaguars and the Bengals coming up. This is the
- 35:24Speaker 2: Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
- 35:31Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
- 35:36Speaker 2: This is the Doug Peterson Show, presented by Fresh from Florida.
- 35:40Speaker 3: JP Shadwick with you. Jeff Logman back with us next week.
- 35:43Speaker 2: Our thanks to head coach Doug Peterson joining us in
- 35:45Speaker 2: the opening segment each and every Thursday. John Osier, Jaguars
- 35:49Speaker 2: dot Com senior rider stepping in a little bit tonight
- 35:52Speaker 2: as well. Ahead of this Monday night football matchup the
- 35:55Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals five and six the Jaguars eight and three.
- 35:59Speaker 3: It was going to be.
- 36:00Speaker 2: Burrow versus Lawrence, but Burrow has a wrist injury and
- 36:03Speaker 2: he's out for the year, So it's Trevor Lawrence's show.
- 36:08Speaker 2: Jake Browning, we'll get the start at quarterback for the
- 36:10Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals, an undrafted player a few years ago, now
- 36:14Speaker 2: making his second career start this week, second in a row.
- 36:19Speaker 2: He came in relief in week eleven at Baltimore and
- 36:24Speaker 2: last week against Pittsburgh. Gonna start two hundred and twenty
- 36:27Speaker 2: seven yards touchdown an interception in a losing effort for
- 36:30Speaker 2: the Bengals. So time to stop the run and get
- 36:33Speaker 2: after the young quarterback, inexperienced quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals,
- 36:38Speaker 2: and let Trevor do his thing. Certainly on the other
- 36:41Speaker 2: side of the Ledger and to let Trevor do his
- 36:44Speaker 2: thing on the other side. Starts up front of the
- 36:46Speaker 2: offensive line and changes continue and we as we talked
- 36:49Speaker 2: about with John just a little while ago, the change
- 36:53Speaker 2: of the offensive line this time around.
- 36:54Speaker 3: Cam Robinson on the reserve injured list for at least
- 36:57Speaker 3: four weeks.
- 36:57Speaker 2: So Walker Little in the game last week, moved out
- 37:00Speaker 2: to left tackle or take his spot. Ezra Cleveland moves
- 37:03Speaker 2: up to left guard. They finished the game. You heard
- 37:06Speaker 2: Doug Peterson talk about it tonight and like the way
- 37:09Speaker 2: they played and has a lot of confidence in this group.
- 37:12Speaker 3: Moving ahead.
- 37:12Speaker 2: I caught up with Walker Little in the locker room
- 37:15Speaker 2: today and the difficulty of making a mid game change
- 37:20Speaker 2: from guard to left tackle.
- 37:22Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, it's it's a challenge, but uh, you know,
- 37:24Speaker 10: obviously I've got a lot of reps that left tackle,
- 37:26Speaker 10: and so it was so often comfortable weh and someone
- 37:29Speaker 10: was able to do and you know, we had a
- 37:31Speaker 10: great game plan. So we are alexcus an offense and
- 37:33Speaker 10: able to get away with wins.
- 37:34Speaker 2: It was awesome guy, as are Cleveland, who moved in
- 37:36Speaker 2: there with you also into the left guard, a guy
- 37:39Speaker 2: who's been around the league for a while what are
- 37:40Speaker 2: your first impressions of him and how has he fit
- 37:43Speaker 2: in amongst the schools.
- 37:44Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean he's a great player. Obviously, he's played
- 37:46Speaker 10: a lost Naps in Minnesota and played really well, and
- 37:48Speaker 10: so he stepped in to that game obviously coming in
- 37:51Speaker 10: and playing left guard, and it was it was fun
- 37:53Speaker 10: to play next to him.
- 37:54Speaker 2: You know, last week, pretty clean game of the offensive line,
- 37:57Speaker 2: only two quarterback hits on Trevor, no sense of the quarterback.
- 38:02Speaker 2: How does this group now with six to go, start
- 38:04Speaker 2: to take a step together as a starting five upfront?
- 38:07Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean I think we're focusing on playing within ourselves,
- 38:10Speaker 10: just running the ball well to open up the past game.
- 38:13Speaker 10: And then obviously, you know, we feel confident in our
- 38:16Speaker 10: past protection and our ability to go into any defensive
- 38:18Speaker 10: line right now. So we're going against a good one
- 38:21Speaker 10: again this week, so it's a great challenge for us.
- 38:23Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 38:23Speaker 3: What stands out about the Bengals front?
- 38:26Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean they have a lot of big, big,
- 38:28Speaker 10: strong guys inside and then on the outside they have
- 38:30Speaker 10: two really good edge rushers and they're deep as well.
- 38:33Speaker 10: I mean their twos are just as good. So we
- 38:36Speaker 10: are a challenge cut up for us.
- 38:39Speaker 2: Up too with six to go in the division, all
- 38:42Speaker 2: the seating and everything in play, do you guys look
- 38:44Speaker 2: at that at all? Just Doug present that stuff to you.
- 38:46Speaker 2: Do you worry about it or you just kind of
- 38:48Speaker 2: play one at a time.
- 38:49Speaker 10: I mean it's presented to us obviously, and we know
- 38:52Speaker 10: we stand. But the focus is just to win one
- 38:55Speaker 10: game at a time at this point and try to
- 38:58Speaker 10: win each game where you go out and play. You know,
- 39:00Speaker 10: right now we're folksing on the Bengals.
- 39:02Speaker 3: The last time the Jaguars played Monday night football was
- 39:04Speaker 3: twenty eleven. It's been a long time, so.
- 39:06Speaker 2: Obviously your first chance to get out there on Monday
- 39:09Speaker 2: night as well, what is your excitement level?
- 39:11Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean it'll be great. Obviously, Monday night football
- 39:13Speaker 10: anywhere is awesome. But I'm really excited that it's hearing
- 39:16Speaker 10: jackson Mill from our home fans and so we're only
- 39:19Speaker 10: it's a great team and it'll be really fun to
- 39:21Speaker 10: play in the bank.
- 39:22Speaker 3: Thanks for the time, Walker, appreciate it. Thank you.
- 39:24Speaker 2: That is Walker Little, now playing left tackle for the
- 39:27Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars, former second round pick out of Stanford and
- 39:32Speaker 2: the guy who's played a lot of football here, you know,
- 39:35Speaker 2: nine games in that twenty twenty one season with three
- 39:38Speaker 2: starts that was his rookie year, and then played an
- 39:41Speaker 2: litll seventeen last year with three starts. Those were down
- 39:43Speaker 2: the stretch in a similar circumstance to right now where
- 39:47Speaker 2: Cam Robinson was hurt. Walker little comes in and the
- 39:51Speaker 2: Jags really didn't miss a beat on the offensive line
- 39:54Speaker 2: at the end of last season, and they would love
- 39:57Speaker 2: obviously to replicate that moving ahead. And there were some
- 40:01Speaker 2: that really really enjoyed his play down the stretch and
- 40:07Speaker 2: so far, at least in the half of football that
- 40:10Speaker 2: happened last week with him and left tackle and Ezra
- 40:13Speaker 2: Cleveland at left guard. Doug Peterson likes what he saw
- 40:16Speaker 2: out of that. That would be a nice start up
- 40:19Speaker 2: front for this offense this week against the Cincinnati Bengals,
- 40:22Speaker 2: who are really talented, certainly on the interior of the
- 40:26Speaker 2: defensive line. Statistically they may not show it, but they
- 40:30Speaker 2: do have some really good personnel up front. Hendrickson a
- 40:32Speaker 2: sack leader at ten and a half sacks on the
- 40:35Speaker 2: defensive line on the edge as well, so they do
- 40:38Speaker 2: have some guys that can get after you a little bit.
- 40:40Speaker 2: And let's see what Walker Little has to offer. Now
- 40:44Speaker 2: back out to his natural position. He had never played
- 40:47Speaker 2: guard before, then, well now he has, and now he's
- 40:50Speaker 2: back to left tackle, and let's see it for the
- 40:53Speaker 2: next month at least, and check out what this offense
- 40:56Speaker 2: can do with the offensive line solidified. Hopefully five starters
- 41:01Speaker 2: the same five starters for the next month at least.
- 41:05Speaker 2: Bootleggers get ready. Luke Combs is bringing two nights to
- 41:08Speaker 2: the Growing Up and Getting Old Tour to EverBank Stadium,

- 43:49Speaker 2: the Jaguars against the AFC North, where we'll find out
