0:32
Speaker 1: show ahead. Analyst Jeff Lockman standing by Jaguars and the Commanders.
0:38
Speaker 1: The Jacks have only beaten Washington one time in their

Speaker 1: previous seven meetings all time. That was in two thousand two.
0:45

Speaker 1: for this week one match up. Some light drizzle at
1:06
Speaker 1: t i A Bank Field for Thursday's practice. Doug Peterson
1:10
Speaker 1: earlier this week discussing some of the challenges you could
1:13
Speaker 1: see in game number one. It's the hardest thing, um,
1:19
Speaker 1: because you don't know what they've been working on in
1:21
Speaker 1: the off season through training camp, and those are things
1:23
Speaker 1: you don't show during the during you know, during the
1:25
Speaker 1: preseason games. But you know there's obviously history, uh no
1:29
Speaker 1: one coached over Yo and and just studying his past
1:31
Speaker 1: and having coached against him in the past and coach
1:33
Speaker 1: Rivera and you know they've got a great staff over there.
1:36
Speaker 1: But at the same time, there's always the unknown and
1:39
Speaker 1: those unscouted looks as we call them. You know that
1:42
Speaker 1: you don't you don't see on tape, and you know
1:44
Speaker 1: it's just, um, if it happens, it happens. We just
1:46
Speaker 1: make the corrections on the sideline and and move on
1:49
Speaker 1: and um. But yeah, these first you know, game or
1:53
Speaker 1: two into the season, you're always gonna something's gonna surprise
1:55
Speaker 1: you a little bit. And now on to the quarterback.
1:58
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, entering season number two of the National Football League,
2:01
Speaker 1: started all seventeen games as a rookie a season ago.
2:06
Speaker 1: His confidence level now entering year two as QB one,
2:11
Speaker 1: it's exciting. You know, it's exciting because just to see
2:14
Speaker 1: how far we've come in a year and my through
2:17
Speaker 1: my lens, you know, obviously it's different for everyone else.
2:19
Speaker 1: I haven't seen as much as I've seen just because
2:21
Speaker 1: we've only had a couple of preseason games and now
2:23
Speaker 1: we're about to start the season. But to see the
2:25
Speaker 1: improvement guys of the of the guys that were here
2:27
Speaker 1: and see how much better that we've gotten than Obviously
2:29
Speaker 1: the new editions have helped a ton um and just
2:32
Speaker 1: the whole mindset. I think the culture is really flipped,
2:35
Speaker 1: and that's something that doesn't happen overnight. So it's taken
2:38
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of work by a lot
2:39
Speaker 1: of people, and I think we're in a great spot
2:41
Speaker 1: right now, and we just gotta keep building on that. Obviously,
2:43
Speaker 1: you've got to sustain it. And I'm just really excited
2:46
Speaker 1: to now have an opportunity to prove it. You know,
2:48
Speaker 1: this one, this one counts, and we're gonna, you know,
2:50
Speaker 1: have seventeen games at least to prove who we are.
2:53
Speaker 1: Running backs under the microscope for the Jaguars this week,
2:56
Speaker 1: of course, Jane Robinson, set to play Sunday for the
2:58
Speaker 1: first time, said as an achilles injury ended his season
3:03
Speaker 1: early in the last couple of weeks of last season.
3:05
Speaker 1: He explained this week how the athletic training staff helped
3:08
Speaker 1: keep him on track this offseason. Little trackers that we
3:11
Speaker 1: got on our jersey and stuff like that. Uh, they
3:14
Speaker 1: kind of try to keep my yards up with other guys.
3:17
Speaker 1: I mean I wasn't up there obviously at the beginning,
3:20
Speaker 1: but um, they tried to limit how much how much
3:23
Speaker 1: I do but day by day and stuff like that,
3:25
Speaker 1: and just seeing how I feel coming in the next day,
3:28
Speaker 1: and if I felt good, then we were good to
3:31
Speaker 1: move on from an achilles injury at the end of
3:34
Speaker 1: last season to eight months later playing on Sunday and
3:37
Speaker 1: finally the defense Trayvon Walker the number one overall pick.
3:40
Speaker 1: Of course, he'll make his regular season debut Sunday. Draft
3:43
Speaker 1: status though no longer matters for him. Men. Yeah, that
3:48
Speaker 1: they'll lean on me. Of course. That's why I'm drifting
3:50
Speaker 1: in that position back them them knowing me. I'm not
3:52
Speaker 1: that type of guy. Don't like you don't have to
3:54
Speaker 1: refer to me in no first round. So I'm just
3:56
Speaker 1: I'm a regular football player like everybody else. I'm here
3:58
Speaker 1: to get paid just like just like everybody else. So
4:02
Speaker 1: you have it. Some of the best sound of the
4:04
Speaker 1: week on Jaguar's Happy hour, and you know, we mentioned
4:08
Speaker 1: the missed today at t I A A bank Field
4:12
Speaker 1: and on Twitter earlier. Jeff Lagman made an appearance at
4:15
Speaker 1: practice today and we tweeted this out of him walking
4:18
Speaker 1: out of the tunnel in a light missed with the
4:20
Speaker 1: umbrella and hence the reference. At the beginning of the show,
4:26
Speaker 1: there was a response say, calling you Mr Poppins today, Jeff,
4:29
Speaker 1: good afternoon. How are you well. You're not supposed to
4:32
Speaker 1: do that indoors, By the way, that's not good luck
4:36
Speaker 1: for any of us. I gotta share share with people.
4:39
Speaker 1: It was not even raining. What is going on? And
4:41
Speaker 1: then the head coaches coming over it was raining. And
4:44
Speaker 1: so as we're we're in standing in the tunnel, you know,
4:47
Speaker 1: because the Jaguars now are actually practicing in the stadium,
4:51
Speaker 1: and so standing in the tunnel out of the rain,
4:54
Speaker 1: JP and I walk out. JP sees that the training
4:56
Speaker 1: and JP turns around and goes back inside says, I
4:58
Speaker 1: gotta get a hat. I gotta protect my hair. My
5:01
Speaker 1: first thought was for what I mean, this uh, this
5:06
Speaker 1: flowing main that I had, Tell me what you're trying
5:09
Speaker 1: to protect with your hat? So I went back in
5:14
Speaker 1: and grabbed an umbrella because I don't want to get
5:17
Speaker 1: my shirt all way I'm gonna be wearing for this show.
5:20
Speaker 1: Isn't it a dry fit. It's not a dry And
5:24
Speaker 1: I don't have a locker here like I don't either, okay,
5:26
Speaker 1: And I can't change clothes at a moment's notice. Okay.
5:29
Speaker 1: All I know is that we're standing out there practicing.
5:32
Speaker 1: Here comes the head coach, Here comes the quarterbacks. Here
5:35
Speaker 1: comes some other people asking about your umbrella. They didn't
5:38
Speaker 1: ask about my hats. Fine, you walk out to a
5:41
Speaker 1: football practice with umbrella and they were asking me while
5:44
Speaker 1: I was dry. Thank you very much. Okay, I'm not
5:47
Speaker 1: gonna apologize for being smarter than the average bear. Good
5:50
Speaker 1: for you do like wearing a hat. Let me get
5:53
Speaker 1: a hat because my hair might get messed up. It
5:57
Speaker 1: might all right, Hey, it's it's football time. It counts
6:00
Speaker 1: this week finally, right, a long off season, the free
6:03
Speaker 1: seasons done that two week many by before the season
6:07
Speaker 1: has now gone. It is Thursday. The Jaguars tea it
6:11
Speaker 1: up on Sunday against the Washington Commanders at FedEx Field
6:15
Speaker 1: in land Over, Maryland. Here we are, and and I'm
6:17
Speaker 1: looking forward to it, and and look I'm gonna apologize
6:20
Speaker 1: right now if I end up using the wrong team
6:23
Speaker 1: name this week, because for fifty years, of fifty three
6:29
Speaker 1: years of my life, they've been known as the Washington
6:34
Speaker 1: Okay starts with an R. I guess you're not supposed
6:36
Speaker 1: to anymore. They are not anymore. Um, And it's sometimes
6:40
Speaker 1: it's hard to break the old habits. I mean sometimes
6:43
Speaker 1: I still say San Diego Chargers. I mean, you grew
6:46
Speaker 1: up in that area too. I mean you grew say
6:48
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders. You're a Washington fan when you were a youngster.
6:51
Speaker 1: I mean around them, You're around him a lot. They
6:54
Speaker 1: were there. I was around him a lot, and I
6:55
Speaker 1: didn't have a choice but to be around him a
6:57
Speaker 1: lot because the town that I grew up in, which
7:00
Speaker 1: was in Sterling, Virginia, Northern Virginia, Redskin the Redskins Park,
7:04
Speaker 1: which was their training facility, was literally right down the road,
7:07
Speaker 1: and so there was a lot of Redskins players that
7:10
Speaker 1: lived in our community. When I say lived in and
7:12
Speaker 1: around the town of Sterling that I lived in, and
7:16
Speaker 1: in the town that I lived in. Sterling was one
7:18
Speaker 1: of the first Nautilus fitness centers in the country at
7:23
Speaker 1: that time. Which happened in the seventies, and you guys
7:25
Speaker 1: will get a kick out of this, which is hard
7:27
Speaker 1: to believe. That there wasn't other fitness centers around in
7:31
Speaker 1: the country at that time. So a lot of the
7:33
Speaker 1: Redskins players used to come to that place, which was
7:37
Speaker 1: called Capital Courts at that time, and would come in
7:40
Speaker 1: there to work out because there was no other places
7:42
Speaker 1: to go to work out. It wasn't like there was
7:45
Speaker 1: a Gold's gym or you know, there was another place.
7:48
Speaker 1: They had an open facility, and they weren't training year round.
7:51
Speaker 1: Joe Eisman was actually the Capital Course Club racquetball champion
7:56
Speaker 1: two years running. And I used to watch him as
7:59
Speaker 1: a kid and watch him play in the club tournament.
8:02
Speaker 1: I mean he was that good and uh so, yeah, so,
8:06
Speaker 1: I mean I was kind of growing up around the
8:09
Speaker 1: quote unquote Redskins football team, and uh I wasn't necessarily
8:13
Speaker 1: a big fan, but I didn't have a choice because
8:16
Speaker 1: my dad and all his buddies they got together on
8:19
Speaker 1: Sundays after church and it was it was watching football
8:23
Speaker 1: that team on Sundays somewhere as a group. And as kids,
8:28
Speaker 1: we were kind of tag, you know, we just kind
8:30
Speaker 1: of dragged along to go to experience the whole thing,
8:33
Speaker 1: and it was cool. Man. That's how I grew up.
8:36
Speaker 1: So let's get to these two another quick stories. It's
8:40
Speaker 1: another quick story. When I love story, you go, you
8:43
Speaker 1: go back to the old days. And I actually experienced
8:46
Speaker 1: a little bit of this when I was a player
8:47
Speaker 1: and I was young, and that NFL players used to
8:51
Speaker 1: be a little bit more I don't say involved in
8:55
Speaker 1: the community, but more involved in the community on a
8:57
Speaker 1: personal basis. As far as when I was player in
9:00
Speaker 1: New York, we used to go and play like a
9:02
Speaker 1: high school staff for charity, and the Redskins used to
9:06
Speaker 1: do that. They came to play at our high school
9:09
Speaker 1: and it was like a you know, basketball game, and
9:11
Speaker 1: it was our staff against them, and so you get
9:15
Speaker 1: to interact with him and the players. I think Redskins
9:17
Speaker 1: players they made a little bit of money, pocket money
9:19
Speaker 1: on the side and stuff and so, uh so, yeah,
9:21
Speaker 1: I had a lot of experience around a lot of
9:23
Speaker 1: those guys, the players that played the game, you know,
9:25
Speaker 1: Rich mult Dave but uh dexter Manly, I mean all
9:29
Speaker 1: those guys you know that I used to grow up
9:31
Speaker 1: watching his kid, Jeff Bostick, You know one time I
9:33
Speaker 1: actually sized him for a tuxedo when I was a
9:36
Speaker 1: high school kid working at a tuxedo shop. Believe it
9:39
Speaker 1: or not. Wow, that's alright. So to these two teams,
9:45
Speaker 1: Washington has a new quarterback, they old quarterback. Yes, they've
9:50
Speaker 1: got Carson Winson. There Ron Riverez in year three. Now,
9:54
Speaker 1: um gave up a lot to get them too, which
9:56
Speaker 1: is kind of surprising. They gave up a second, a
9:59
Speaker 1: third this year and then they gave up a conditional
10:02
Speaker 1: pick for three, which is a lot to give in
10:05
Speaker 1: a year in which there was a lot of quarterbacks
10:08
Speaker 1: that were available. And the reason that he became available
10:13
Speaker 1: was because the last time he played a real game,
10:15
Speaker 1: which was right here and t I a bank on
10:19
Speaker 1: t I bank field, he played poorly, and Mr Jim Ursey,
10:24
Speaker 1: the owner of the Colts, was, from what I understand,
10:28
Speaker 1: beside himself, at Carson Wentz's performance in that game, not
10:32
Speaker 1: to mention some of the previous games leading up to
10:35
Speaker 1: that game, because when they had an opportunity at going
10:38
Speaker 1: to the playoffs with a win in your end scenario
10:40
Speaker 1: and then he failed, Mr Ersey lost his mind and
10:44
Speaker 1: said get him out through an interception in that game.
10:46
Speaker 1: He was sacked six times by the Jaguars defense that
10:50
Speaker 1: day here at the Bank, and they couldn't get him
10:52
Speaker 1: out of town fast enough and Indy he ends up
10:54
Speaker 1: in Washington. Of course, Doug Peterson had Carson Winson Philadelphia
10:59
Speaker 1: if you who have missed the last seven years of
11:01
Speaker 1: the NFL, uh, he had them when he was drafted
11:04
Speaker 1: in the first round and then he got injured. Here
11:07
Speaker 1: comes Nick Foles. We know the story of the Philadelphia
11:10
Speaker 1: Eagles when they won the Super Bowl in seen. So
11:12
Speaker 1: he knows Carson pretty well, I would say, sure, bringing
11:16
Speaker 1: him up at the draft and how he kind of
11:18
Speaker 1: operates in ticks. And the reality is is that there's
11:21
Speaker 1: a lot of people that understand how Carson Wentz operates
11:25
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of film and there's no secrets.
11:28
Speaker 1: It's not like Doug has all this insider information. Because
11:31
Speaker 1: he was able to work with Carson Wentz for a
11:33
Speaker 1: couple of years, maybe he knows him a little bit
11:35
Speaker 1: more than somebody else that didn't have the opportunity to
11:37
Speaker 1: work with him in a one on one basis. But
11:39
Speaker 1: the reality is is that what Carson does well and
11:42
Speaker 1: doesn't do well is clearly on film and it's for
11:46
Speaker 1: there for everybody to see. When Carson Wentz is at
11:50
Speaker 1: his best, he is playing reckless with his body and
11:53
Speaker 1: he's using and utilizing his mobility. He's not a pocket passer.
11:59
Speaker 1: He's not a guy that and sit back in the
12:00
Speaker 1: pocket and survey of field and diagnose it and go
12:03
Speaker 1: through a progression and be successful that way. That's not
12:06
Speaker 1: what he is. That's not what he does best. So
12:09
Speaker 1: if you're the Jaguars, you want to make sure that
12:11
Speaker 1: you keep him in the pocket, make sure that his
12:14
Speaker 1: legs does not hurt, his legs don't hurt you, and
12:17
Speaker 1: then uh, play good coverage, play good solid coverage with him.
12:21
Speaker 1: Just don't just don't let him hurt you in that
12:23
Speaker 1: way though, because if he has the mobility and if
12:25
Speaker 1: his legs are an impact in a ball game, that's
12:27
Speaker 1: gonna be difficult to stop him. It would be a
12:30
Speaker 1: nice start for this Jaguars defense. New look group, new
12:34
Speaker 1: new scheme, new coordinator, a lot of new personnel. I
12:37
Speaker 1: think there's a there's always the word new. When you
12:40
Speaker 1: use that word, that's uh. I think week one it's
12:44
Speaker 1: it's it totally fits because there's a lot of new
12:48
Speaker 1: for a lot of teams, and there also can be
12:51
Speaker 1: a lot of new for teams that have the same
12:55
Speaker 1: players in the same staff back. I mean, every team
12:59
Speaker 1: goes in of the all season trying to find ways
13:02
Speaker 1: to tweak their system, to tweak their roster, to make
13:06
Speaker 1: it quote unquote better. So there are a lot of
13:10
Speaker 1: things that you may not expect in week one or
13:13
Speaker 1: week two, But once you get to week four or five, six,
13:18
Speaker 1: kind of you've seen what teams are are trying to
13:21
Speaker 1: be in the new calendar year. So I think you
13:23
Speaker 1: have to be ready for some things that you're not
13:26
Speaker 1: expected to see in week one. But the Jaguars might
13:30
Speaker 1: have one of the great advantages in all of football
13:33
Speaker 1: with other teams that have new staffs, because when you
13:37
Speaker 1: put a new staff together, as Doug Peterson has, there's
13:40
Speaker 1: always influence from a lot of different parts of that staff,
13:44
Speaker 1: and so there are tweaks and there are nuances that
13:46
Speaker 1: are a little bit different. So this offense may not
13:48
Speaker 1: be completely like exactly what Doug Peterson ran when he
13:52
Speaker 1: was in Philadelphia. There might be changes that maybe Press
13:56
Speaker 1: Taylor brought in, or Mike McCoy brought in r or
13:59
Speaker 1: Jim Bob hooter brought in you just don't know, or
14:01
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence through Trevor Lawrence, you know, or they see
14:04
Speaker 1: something with Trevor they're like, hey, look, let's run this
14:07
Speaker 1: because he does this well, and so that part of
14:12
Speaker 1: the newness. I I'll bet you that the Washington Commander
14:17
Speaker 1: staff is more likely more nervous about this game than
14:23
Speaker 1: the Jaguars staff, just from a what Doug terms unscouted
14:27
Speaker 1: looks standpoint. Let's come back putting ahead on this game.
14:32
Speaker 1: Coming up at five o'clock. It's the Doug Peterson Show.
14:35
Speaker 1: Speaking up the head coach. We'll hear from him. Good
14:38
Speaker 1: on this set with us coming up at five o'clock.
14:42
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to that. We always will be each
14:45
Speaker 1: and every week on Jaguars Radio putting ahead. We'll get
14:48
Speaker 1: into the Jaguars offense a little bit more. We heard
14:52
Speaker 1: from the Jaguars quarterback, will hear from Press Taylor, offensive
14:56
Speaker 1: coordinator as well. We are off and running. It's Jaguars
14:58
Speaker 1: Happy Hour on the jag Wars Digital Network. That's the
15:11
Speaker 1: benefit of having spent five years with Doug, of knowing
15:13
Speaker 1: what he expects on the headset, what the communication like is,
15:16
Speaker 1: and through the four preseason games as well of everybody
15:19
Speaker 1: kind of understanding what that is. And you know, I
15:21
Speaker 1: think I have a good feel for what kind of
15:23
Speaker 1: communication he expects and he likes. And then kind of
15:26
Speaker 1: when he's he's in his flow and you kind of
15:28
Speaker 1: give him time to make the play call. There's not
15:30
Speaker 1: a lot of extra chatter on the headsets for him. UM,
15:33
Speaker 1: And usually we're in lockstep with most things. You know,
15:35
Speaker 1: we've talked about. We've gone through scenarios, whether it's throughout
15:38
Speaker 1: this week as we built each section of the game
15:40
Speaker 1: plan to even Sunday morning, we'll get a chance to
15:42
Speaker 1: sit and meet before the game in the locker room
15:45
Speaker 1: in the air conditioner, kind of talk through all right,
15:47
Speaker 1: if you get this, what are we thinking? Where we
15:49
Speaker 1: have both of us just bouncing ideas around um, and
15:51
Speaker 1: so we're all kind of on the same page. So
15:53
Speaker 1: then once he's going, he's got it going. That's offensive
15:56
Speaker 1: coordinator Press Taylor earlier today, Welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy
16:00
Speaker 1: Hour j P. Shadrick with Jeff Lockman. Glad you're along
16:03
Speaker 1: with us. The Jaguars faced the Washington Commanders Sunday one
16:06
Speaker 1: o'clock FedEx Field landover Maryland, and it will be the
16:10
Speaker 1: offenses debut press, Taylor up in the box, Doug Peterson
16:14
Speaker 1: pushing the buttons from the field. The operation of that
16:18
Speaker 1: is was kind of the topic there. He was asked
16:20
Speaker 1: about that today. How is it gonna go. It's not
16:22
Speaker 1: like their first rodeo together. I mean they've been in
16:24
Speaker 1: coaching staffs together, but in this set up with him
16:27
Speaker 1: as the coordinator upstairs and and Doug on the field,
16:30
Speaker 1: and and they experimented with that. Yeah, they played with
16:32
Speaker 1: it a couple of different ways in the preseason, but
16:34
Speaker 1: now it's for real Sunday, and I think that, uh,
16:38
Speaker 1: the coaching staff the preseason, I think it was very
16:41
Speaker 1: beneficial them too, because this is a new staff and
16:43
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people on Dug staff that he
16:45
Speaker 1: hasn't worked with before. You've got a first time defensive coordinator,
16:48
Speaker 1: Mike called Wilson. Mike, I'm sure has to find who
16:51
Speaker 1: he's comfortable with being that main voice in his ear
16:54
Speaker 1: from the press box or from the eye and the sky,
16:57
Speaker 1: so to speak. And that's what preseason is. But but
17:01
Speaker 1: it's still an evolving process when you have a new staff.
17:04
Speaker 1: I don't think that the changes over with like you're
17:06
Speaker 1: a you're not a finished product when you go into
17:09
Speaker 1: game one from a coaching staff standpoint, and I think
17:12
Speaker 1: they're gonna going to continue to be uh, what's the
17:16
Speaker 1: right term? I think because because Doug, I'm trying to
17:18
Speaker 1: use the term that Doug talks about, because he said,
17:20
Speaker 1: you know, it's about the journey and not the results
17:22
Speaker 1: a lot of times, and that you're trying to be
17:24
Speaker 1: the best once you get towards the regular season, which
17:26
Speaker 1: is a great thought process to have, but I think
17:28
Speaker 1: that also applies for for the coaching staff, and that
17:33
Speaker 1: you're trying to evolve and to progress and to get
17:36
Speaker 1: better as a coaching staff, and so you're gonna find
17:39
Speaker 1: little nuances or changes to the to the dynamic of
17:43
Speaker 1: what you were initially start with to get to a
17:45
Speaker 1: better place at the end of the season. Let's stick
17:49
Speaker 1: on offense here, and yes, Trevor Lawrence will get a
17:52
Speaker 1: lot of the headlines. Yes, the running backs are both back,
17:56
Speaker 1: Travis e. T n And and James Robinson. But and
17:58
Speaker 1: there's new faces at wide receiver, all that free agents
18:01
Speaker 1: and everything coming in. But the revamped and retooled offensive
18:06
Speaker 1: line has their hands full this week and a battle
18:09
Speaker 1: right out of the gate against the Washington Commander's defensive line.
18:13
Speaker 1: There's a new center. Obviously, Brandon Sheriff was in Washington
18:16
Speaker 1: his whole career. He's going back to his old place
18:19
Speaker 1: at right guard. Um Jowan Taylor is the right tackle,
18:23
Speaker 1: Ben Bartschett left guard, and here comes Cam Robinson, newly
18:26
Speaker 1: extended at left tackle. Yes, Chase Young is not playing
18:30
Speaker 1: for Washington, but they still have some guys up front,
18:33
Speaker 1: and this is a battle of watching the trenches. So
18:36
Speaker 1: this is uh, making you probably little tied. This is
18:39
Speaker 1: an Alabama reunion of sorts here. I don't know. Uh,
18:43
Speaker 1: he got a couple of big guys there up in
18:46
Speaker 1: Washington in the middle that are Alabama guys. Cam Robinson's
18:49
Speaker 1: in Alabama. God no, but this is this game could
18:52
Speaker 1: be one or lost at this battle. And this battle
18:55
Speaker 1: that we're talking about is the Commander's defensive line versus
18:59
Speaker 1: the Gi Wars offensive line. And there's some great matchups
19:02
Speaker 1: that are gonna be happening. Chase Taylor, yes is not
19:06
Speaker 1: playing or Chase Young, and Chase has typically been a
19:10
Speaker 1: right end and so that would be a Cam Robinson matchup.
19:15
Speaker 1: But that's not gonna happen to have a backup playing there,
19:17
Speaker 1: and from what I saw from his name is James Smith.
19:21
Speaker 1: Williams is the backup. He is not anything close to
19:25
Speaker 1: a Chase Young. On the other side, montest Sweat, I
19:28
Speaker 1: think this is a This is a tough matchup for
19:31
Speaker 1: Joan Taylor. Montest Wet has been a very consistent athletic.
19:37
Speaker 1: He's fast, he's strong, He's got a lot of traits
19:40
Speaker 1: that make it challenging. He's more athletic than most left
19:45
Speaker 1: defensive ends. In other words, more athletic than most right tackles.
19:48
Speaker 1: Face from a pass rush standpoint twenty one over twenty
19:53
Speaker 1: one sacks and three years, I mean very consistent as
19:55
Speaker 1: numbers have always been there. It's not like he's had
19:58
Speaker 1: a big year and then a down you and then
20:00
Speaker 1: an okay year. He's been very consistent. I think that's
20:03
Speaker 1: a tough match up there. I would also say that
20:06
Speaker 1: Luke Fortner, with being a rookie and facing two guys
20:09
Speaker 1: in the middle and Jonathan Allen and Deron Payne as
20:12
Speaker 1: good as that right out of the gate um, it
20:15
Speaker 1: doesn't get any more difficult. This is like going to
20:18
Speaker 1: face Georgia, but another step up. Well maybe not, because
20:22
Speaker 1: George is already a step up. And then the other thing,
20:25
Speaker 1: I think when you go to a sub situation, so
20:28
Speaker 1: in other words, when you go to okay, we're in
20:30
Speaker 1: an obvious passing situation. The commanders are in their nickel package.
20:36
Speaker 1: Jonathan Allen has been their most successful pass rusher from
20:41
Speaker 1: a number standpoint, coming off a career high nine sacks.
20:44
Speaker 1: If you look at his numbers as far as pass
20:47
Speaker 1: rush success, he's right up there with an Aaron Donald
20:51
Speaker 1: and then the guy uh in Kansas City, Chris Jones.
20:57
Speaker 1: Those those two guys are kind of the bar Chris Jones,
21:00
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald. But then right just I mean just a
21:03
Speaker 1: little notch below, a little bit more than Aaron Donald,
21:06
Speaker 1: but but a notch below that is Jonathan Allen. You
21:09
Speaker 1: think he's right there, well, I mean, if you look
21:12
Speaker 1: at him from a production standpoint and a number standpoint
21:15
Speaker 1: that you know last year's numbers, this guy is is
21:19
Speaker 1: a top five interior pass rusher and he pass rushes
21:25
Speaker 1: over ninety percent of the time from the right defensive
21:29
Speaker 1: tackle spot, which means that he's gonna be facing Ben Barge.
21:34
Speaker 1: So that's a matchup that's gonna be a tough one.
21:37
Speaker 1: So what do you do? Okay, if you slide the
21:40
Speaker 1: line to Jonathan Allen, now you're leaving the other two
21:43
Speaker 1: guys which are gonna be facing more than likely a
21:46
Speaker 1: durn Payne and a Montest sweat. You're right side of
21:49
Speaker 1: the line, Sheriff and Joan Taylor. You're gonna leave them
21:51
Speaker 1: all alone in a one on one type of situation
21:54
Speaker 1: unless you keep you know, back in. But I mean,
21:56
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's a great matchup. It's great test right
21:59
Speaker 1: out of the gate because they are really good up
22:01
Speaker 1: front and the Redskins, excuse me, the commanders are is
22:04
Speaker 1: there's one The commanders are looking to go back to
22:08
Speaker 1: where they were a couple of years ago, when two
22:10
Speaker 1: years ago there were top five defenses past year they weren't.
22:13
Speaker 1: You know, del Rio is trying to get him back
22:14
Speaker 1: to where where they were at Jack del Rio is there.
22:17
Speaker 1: We we we missed one of the headlines. Yeah, Jack's
22:19
Speaker 1: still there. How about that? Yeah he's uh, he's been
22:22
Speaker 1: a he's been a good defensive coordinator, you know for
22:25
Speaker 1: many years. And Jackson got a great defensive mind many
22:29
Speaker 1: years here when we saw the Stroud Henderson combo that
22:33
Speaker 1: was in the Del Rio years with Mike Smith as
22:35
Speaker 1: a defensive coordinator and obviously Jack was the defensive mind
22:38
Speaker 1: as well. So uh so a little. I don't want
22:41
Speaker 1: to say it's a reunion of sorts, but but it's
22:43
Speaker 1: a great test this week. And it's a it's a
22:45
Speaker 1: great test for a young quarterback, great test for his weapons.
22:49
Speaker 1: You've got a really good corner on the other side
22:51
Speaker 1: in Kendall four. I think he's one of the better
22:52
Speaker 1: corners in the league. He's probably a he's a top
22:55
Speaker 1: ten corner for sure. You might make an argument that
22:58
Speaker 1: he's the top five corner. So some some good tests
23:01
Speaker 1: this week and right out of the gate, which is good.
23:03
Speaker 1: You know, that's what you're playing for. It's the NFL.
23:07
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a test most weeks. Well, and here's
23:12
Speaker 1: the reality. It's not like the Commanders are this high
23:15
Speaker 1: level football team that has been winning a ton of games. Look,
23:21
Speaker 1: they've been a mediocre football team at best. They've got
23:24
Speaker 1: a lot of things going on with their organization that
23:27
Speaker 1: aren't involving football. Congressional hearings with with their owner, with
23:34
Speaker 1: the former head of the organization and Bruce Allen and uh,
23:40
Speaker 1: it's not the exactly the focal point of an organization
23:43
Speaker 1: that you would like to have. You'd like to have
23:45
Speaker 1: it always be about ball, but it's not the case
23:48
Speaker 1: in Washington. We'll come back and here from Devin Lloyd. Yes,
23:52
Speaker 1: there were two stars round picks Den Lloyd this year.
23:56
Speaker 1: Trey bon Walker was number one overall. Devin Lloyd also
23:59
Speaker 1: a first round pick. And yes he will start kind
24:02
Speaker 1: of not I don't want to say that's surprising, but
24:06
Speaker 1: I think that there's gonna be a shared role there. Okay, well,
24:10
Speaker 1: we'll discuss when we return. And check out The Official
24:14
Speaker 1: Jaguars podcast network gets free on iTunes, Spotify, or wherever
24:18
Speaker 1: you download your podcasts. Jaguars Happy Hour my Jaguars Digital Network,
24:26
Speaker 1: the station that the Jaguars listened to ten ten XL,
24:31
Speaker 1: home of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Because you don't have classes,
24:48
Speaker 1: and it's really it's really nice, and I really feel
24:50
Speaker 1: like I have a good balance. Now. How much is
24:53
Speaker 1: enough for not too much? Because I feel like even
24:54
Speaker 1: a Utah I might have done I wouldn't say too much,
24:57
Speaker 1: but um, there can be to a point where you
24:59
Speaker 1: watched too much and the over thing on the field
25:00
Speaker 1: versus just watching the right amount, getting good amount and
25:03
Speaker 1: then going out and trusting, but also just playing boss.
25:05
Speaker 1: So I feel like I got that good amount, and
25:08
Speaker 1: like I said, it's a lot more time, So that's nice.
25:11
Speaker 1: That's Devin Lloyd, first round pick linebacker out of the
25:14
Speaker 1: University of Utah, discussing the difference in time availability to
25:19
Speaker 1: watch film. He was a film rab at Utah, Welcome Back,
25:23
Speaker 1: It's Jaguar's Happy Hour, j P. Shadrick with Jeff Lockman.
25:27
Speaker 1: Yet he was in the film room all the time,
25:29
Speaker 1: even with class and everything at the University of Utah.
25:32
Speaker 1: But now all that's gone, he says, he has all
25:34
Speaker 1: the time in the world, but you have to balance
25:36
Speaker 1: it out. And we're all excited to see all these
25:39
Speaker 1: new faces, certainly in some of the old faces to
25:42
Speaker 1: why not this whole new defense. Devin Lloyd will have
25:45
Speaker 1: a part in that. There was some question that in
25:48
Speaker 1: the preseason with a hamstring issue. He told me the
25:51
Speaker 1: other day in the locker room that after that final
25:53
Speaker 1: preseason game in Atlanta the next day when he didn't
25:57
Speaker 1: feel anything, he felt fine. That when he realized, okay,
26:01
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be okay, I can move forward here, and
26:03
Speaker 1: that's important because hamstrings can linger, and so I hope
26:07
Speaker 1: that that is the case, that it's not going to
26:09
Speaker 1: be a problem moving forward for him, because again, those
26:12
Speaker 1: things can be a major headache. But there's a lot
26:15
Speaker 1: of new with this defense. He's a part of that
26:18
Speaker 1: new Trayvon Walker is a part of that, might calledwell
26:21
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator is a part of that, and there's
26:25
Speaker 1: a lot of new components and so it's I think
26:27
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of fun to see how
26:32
Speaker 1: they perform, how they're deployed, how they will attack offenses,
26:38
Speaker 1: because there's just a lot of unknowns. A lot of
26:40
Speaker 1: times the decisions that you make as a coordinator a
26:44
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator is based on the personnel that you have,
26:48
Speaker 1: and as a coach, you kind of get an idea
26:51
Speaker 1: in the first year, in the preseason of what your
26:53
Speaker 1: personnel can and cannot do, but sometimes you discover more
26:57
Speaker 1: as the season wears on. Sometimes you don't know, like
27:00
Speaker 1: a guy like Devon Lloyd, who hasn't really played much
27:03
Speaker 1: except for that last preseason opportunity in Atlanta, And I
27:08
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be interesting too to see what role
27:11
Speaker 1: that Devin Lloyd and Chad Muma will have How will
27:15
Speaker 1: they operate? You know, with Devin having not as many
27:19
Speaker 1: reps as Chad, do they share that role in Washington
27:24
Speaker 1: on Sunday? I think they might. Who starts, Well, Devin
27:28
Speaker 1: Lloyd's the starter. I mean, he's on the depth chart.
27:30
Speaker 1: That could literally be one play and then you're off
27:33
Speaker 1: and you've started. What I mean? What do I think
27:36
Speaker 1: they'll have Devin Lloyd prepared for everything just because that's
27:40
Speaker 1: what you have to do and that's just part of
27:42
Speaker 1: the deal. Well, they have some packages with both of
27:46
Speaker 1: them on the field, they might could they have packages
27:49
Speaker 1: that maybe Chad Muma is a little bit more accustomed
27:53
Speaker 1: to doing. Maybe will they try to rotate the two
27:57
Speaker 1: guys just from a conditioning standpoint and because both of
28:02
Speaker 1: the guy are because they feel confident with Chad the
28:05
Speaker 1: amount of reps that he got. Maybe, But that's all
28:08
Speaker 1: part of the mystery. And it's not like Doug Peterson
28:11
Speaker 1: is gonna share that information with us here coming up
28:13
Speaker 1: in about twenty five minutes, and we may not even ask, Yeah,
28:17
Speaker 1: why would we? Because he's not gonna put it out there?
28:20
Speaker 1: Why why is he? Why would he? I wouldn't tell
28:22
Speaker 1: you anything. I mean, that's like, that's part of our
28:25
Speaker 1: competitive advantage is to not disclose information like that. Read
28:29
Speaker 1: the injury report, Jake, Yeah, that's what i'd say. Yeah, well,
28:32
Speaker 1: speaking of it is time for the injury Report, presented
28:36
Speaker 1: by Baptist Health and the Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute, the official
28:40
Speaker 1: sports medicine provider of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Like you're producing
28:43
Speaker 1: this shows pretty good. That was pretty good. Uh yeah,
28:46
Speaker 1: I like a little transition, like you've done this a
28:49
Speaker 1: time or two. Only one player on the report for
28:51
Speaker 1: the Jaguars officially this week fully Phino Caussie defensive lineman
28:55
Speaker 1: free agent edition this offseason. With a calf issue. He
28:59
Speaker 1: has been lim it did Wednesday and Thursday. Uh. Washington,
29:03
Speaker 1: on the other hand, has one, two, three, four or
29:06
Speaker 1: five six seven players on the list. Three of those
29:10
Speaker 1: have been practicing full all week with then some different injuries.
29:14
Speaker 1: Phil Mathis defensive tackle, Trade Turner and guard John Bates
29:18
Speaker 1: are full both Wednesday and Thursday, but then you get
29:21
Speaker 1: up to a couple of tight ends. Cold Turner and
29:23
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas have been limited Wednesday and Thursday. Cam Simms,
29:28
Speaker 1: wide receiver had a concussion. He's limited Wednesday Thursday. And
29:32
Speaker 1: then Cameron Curl, the starting safety, has a thumb injury
29:36
Speaker 1: and has not practiced this week, So Washington is a
29:39
Speaker 1: little deeper. Cameron Curl, starting safety, pretty good player, supposedly
29:45
Speaker 1: might have had a procedure on his thumb and that
29:49
Speaker 1: could keep him out of this game. That would be
29:52
Speaker 1: a I think a pretty significant loss for Washington. They're
29:55
Speaker 1: tight end. What was his status for Logan Thomas? Logan
29:59
Speaker 1: Thomas has been both days and I don't I don't
30:02
Speaker 1: think that he's gonna be available for this game either.
30:05
Speaker 1: And he's their starting titan. He's pretty good one. He's
30:07
Speaker 1: a former quarterback at Virginia Tech. Remember, Yeah, last year
30:10
Speaker 1: he had an A C O believe a p CL
30:14
Speaker 1: and then two different meniscus were torn. Meniscus menis guy, Yeah,
30:21
Speaker 1: but I don't know, you don't want both that. I
30:25
Speaker 1: don't know exactly what the pearl is, but an a
30:27
Speaker 1: C L M c O with meniscus something meniscus and
30:30
Speaker 1: then something else meniscus. Yeah. Yeah, So, uh so it
30:35
Speaker 1: looks like he's going to be unavailable. That that's that's
30:38
Speaker 1: a good thing. And then boy went a tragic obviously
30:41
Speaker 1: with Brian Robinson being on the non football injury list.
30:45
Speaker 1: He's the attempted car Jackie got shot once. I ended
30:49
Speaker 1: up one bullet winning the glute the butt, and then
30:53
Speaker 1: the other one went through his knee and somehow didn't
30:55
Speaker 1: damage any parts of his knee. I mean, and he
30:58
Speaker 1: was what a third round pick account of Alabama's absolutely
31:02
Speaker 1: uh wow. How fortunate is he? And that's scary stuff.
31:06
Speaker 1: But I saw him a couple of days after he
31:08
Speaker 1: got out of the hospital and came to the facility
31:12
Speaker 1: and brought his The rookies had to bring oreos to
31:15
Speaker 1: the meetings, so he stopped and got a bag of
31:17
Speaker 1: oreos and brought him with him on crutches and the
31:20
Speaker 1: whole deal, which is pretty cool. I'd be more than
31:22
Speaker 1: happy to bring a box of oreos and having having
31:26
Speaker 1: the upbar. And good for him that he's you know,
31:27
Speaker 1: they think he's gonna expect him to make a full recovery.
31:31
Speaker 1: He was expected to be the starting running back in
31:33
Speaker 1: just a little site noting on that the guy who's
31:35
Speaker 1: gonna starts a thousand yard back, which is Antonio Gibson.
31:40
Speaker 1: I like the fact that Gibson's gonna be their starter.
31:45
Speaker 1: Why because he fumbles. And Ron Rivera was asked about
31:50
Speaker 1: it this week. Okay, the media up there in Washington,
31:53
Speaker 1: they know the deal. Maybe he was asked and and
31:56
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera said, you know, we have complete confidence in
32:00
Speaker 1: Antonio and we're not gonna hesitate one minute to give
32:04
Speaker 1: him the ball. Well, the fact of the matter is
32:07
Speaker 1: that Antonio Gibson last year fumbled the ball six times,
32:12
Speaker 1: lost it four, okay, six times. So I guarantee you
32:17
Speaker 1: that Mike Caldwell is making his defense aware that when
32:21
Speaker 1: you see twenty four toting the rock, you go for
32:24
Speaker 1: the ball. You go for the ball. And here's the
32:27
Speaker 1: other thing. What do you think del Rio is telling
32:30
Speaker 1: his team about James Robinson that that lower left the
32:34
Speaker 1: exact note that he's telling him the exact same thing,
32:37
Speaker 1: because James Robinson fumbled the ball a couple of times
32:39
Speaker 1: last year and he's coming back from an injury. JP
32:43
Speaker 1: right over. No, that would be targeting g I dont no.
32:51
Speaker 1: They're gonna hit him hard and they're gonna probably take
32:54
Speaker 1: James low just to see what his where his mind
32:57
Speaker 1: is at. You know, you're right, I mean, you're right
32:59
Speaker 1: from that stand point. But also look, if you don't
33:01
Speaker 1: go low on James Robinson, then take a shot at
33:04
Speaker 1: the ball. Because last year James had a couple of
33:07
Speaker 1: fumbles which were very uncharacteristic of him. So think, I
33:11
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a situation where you're gonna see
33:14
Speaker 1: some mis tackles because both both defensive teams are going
33:19
Speaker 1: to be going for the football with these two running backs.
33:23
Speaker 1: What's going on with the kicking game. We haven't talked
33:24
Speaker 1: about that in a couple of weeks. While I was
33:26
Speaker 1: hoping you would tell me j P. It's a good question.
33:28
Speaker 1: Riley Patters is the roster is on the roster? Is
33:32
Speaker 1: the kicker? James the Courts on the practice squad. I
33:36
Speaker 1: will say, in the open parts of practice this week
33:39
Speaker 1: we've been at Patterson has missed some kicks, some field goals.
33:44
Speaker 1: Today looked like he made him because I was looking
33:48
Speaker 1: peering out from underneath of my umbrella umbrella. It was
33:51
Speaker 1: in the way you might have missed some. But yesterday
33:54
Speaker 1: you thought that he missed something. He did. Yes in
33:56
Speaker 1: the open periods we were out there, which is not
34:01
Speaker 1: which is not very long. But I look, you're gonna
34:05
Speaker 1: go into this game and and put him out there
34:08
Speaker 1: and see what he does. And then after you have
34:13
Speaker 1: something to evaluate, then you evaluate and then make a
34:18
Speaker 1: decision and move forward for the next step. And unfortunately,
34:22
Speaker 1: this is not a position that you're gonna sit there
34:25
Speaker 1: and go, yeah, you know, you feel really good about it,
34:27
Speaker 1: it's just not gonna happen. You're gonna say in public, well,
34:32
Speaker 1: we feel really good about it, yeah, just because you
34:35
Speaker 1: don't want to have it be are scared to death. Yeah,
34:38
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't say that as a coach. I mean,
34:40
Speaker 1: you're you're gonna you're going to exude confidence in in
34:44
Speaker 1: your kicker. You can't go out with even on the
34:47
Speaker 1: back of your mind, you're going, oh my god, what
34:49
Speaker 1: do you gotta do. We're gonna make them. I don't know,
34:51
Speaker 1: we're gonna make him. I don't know. We may not
34:53
Speaker 1: make them, but we're just gonna have to see. But
34:56
Speaker 1: that's probably what you're thinking in the back of Doug
34:59
Speaker 1: Peter and mind. I mean I would be thinking that.
35:02
Speaker 1: I would say to you, j P and to me
35:05
Speaker 1: and to all the other members of the media. I
35:07
Speaker 1: was said, yeah, we'll work. We feel very confident in
35:11
Speaker 1: our kicking situation. We feel like we have a great operation.
35:15
Speaker 1: Snapper holder, kicker looks good, we feel great about it,
35:21
Speaker 1: and I would leave it at that. And then then
35:24
Speaker 1: and nose grown when I said that, we'll see. You
35:30
Speaker 1: just gotta go out there and and kick. The only
35:34
Speaker 1: way you find out, you know, I mean, you go
35:36
Speaker 1: out there and you and you try to make some kicks,
35:38
Speaker 1: and if the kicks don't happen, and you look look
35:41
Speaker 1: at doing something differently. You know, that's just how you
35:43
Speaker 1: do it, That's how you operate. If you're looking for
35:46
Speaker 1: the m v P of the truck game, then look
35:48
Speaker 1: no further than four D F one fifty. Loaded with
35:50
Speaker 1: impressive capability and designed to dominate, work, play and everything
35:55
Speaker 1: in between. This truck makes tough look easy. Your local

Speaker 1: the Washington Commanders coming up this Sunday. It's Week one
36:50
Speaker 1: in the National Football League and we take a look
36:53
Speaker 1: if you're watching on Jaguars dot Com Jaguars social media,
36:56
Speaker 1: we look outside at the Miller Electric Center. Construct shouldn't
37:00
Speaker 1: continues at a feverish pace. Well, it slowed a little
37:05
Speaker 1: bit today with the rain. I bet none of those
37:07
Speaker 1: guys had an umbrella out there blogs today. Well, the
37:12
Speaker 1: guys that didn't, they were actually working underneath of the roof. JT,
37:16
Speaker 1: I know, an umbrella. It's fine. Yeah, it'll be scheduled
37:21
Speaker 1: to be open by training camp. That's the hope. That's
37:24
Speaker 1: the plan, and it'll be ready. Yeah, so it'll be ready.
37:28
Speaker 1: I like that. Yeah, I'm looking forward to, uh to
37:31
Speaker 1: seeing it. It's gonna be pretty amazing. And most importantly,
37:34
Speaker 1: the fields are gonna be priority number one for next year.
37:39
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the practice fields for sure. Yeah. I mean
37:42
Speaker 1: you can probably make do and delay moving into that
37:46
Speaker 1: facility by a couple of weeks if you had to,
37:50
Speaker 1: because you still have the stadium facility here, but from
37:53
Speaker 1: a from a field standpoint, you need the field, which
37:58
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be intra seemed to see today.
38:01
Speaker 1: You know, we walk out into the stadium where the
38:03
Speaker 1: team has been practicing in the stadium. How will that
38:07
Speaker 1: field hold up for the practices that they have in
38:11
Speaker 1: there on top of the games. Yes, I know there
38:15
Speaker 1: are a number of possible UM field changes, new fields
38:21
Speaker 1: that they can put in this year. It's already budgeted in,
38:23
Speaker 1: so they're gonna change, They're gonna put completely change the surface,
38:27
Speaker 1: I think a couple of different times. But still still right,
38:30
Speaker 1: how's it really? I mean, there's one game in the
38:32
Speaker 1: first month of the season here, but over gets here
38:35
Speaker 1: because there's college games and pro games and everything going on.
38:39
Speaker 1: And and have you seen the forecast right lately? It's
38:43
Speaker 1: like rain every day and when you put big football
38:46
Speaker 1: players on a field that's very wet, it gets torn
38:49
Speaker 1: up pretty quickly. And by the way, the Jaguars and
38:52
Speaker 1: the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville are partnering to bring
38:55
Speaker 1: public arts to the Miller Electric Center. That was announced
38:59
Speaker 1: today UM and they're issuing calls to artists by the
39:04
Speaker 1: Jaguars at Cultural Council dot org slash call dash too
39:10
Speaker 1: dash artists. Submissions are due by October. Are you an artisan?
39:16
Speaker 1: I'm not. I wouldn't put myself in that category either,
39:19
Speaker 1: but a lot of people are and we're looking forward
39:22
Speaker 1: to seeing some of those ideas moving ahead. And by
39:26
Speaker 1: the way, um ain't no fees, no problem, say big
39:30
Speaker 1: when you purchase your tickets for the home opener against
39:33
Speaker 1: the Colts of September eight. This deal won't last long,
39:36
Speaker 1: so don't miss out. Get your fee free tickets today.
39:40
Speaker 1: That's coming up in week two. The Colts coming in.
39:42
Speaker 1: They haven't one here since um Obama was president. That's
39:46
Speaker 1: a long time. It's been a minute. Matt Try that's right,
39:49
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan at the helm. That's gonna look different. It's
39:52
Speaker 1: been a while. What did they did? Uh? What did
39:54
Speaker 1: the Colts give up? Good question for Matt Ryan. Just
39:59
Speaker 1: had to cury pity because you you ended up getting
40:03
Speaker 1: a second and a third for Carson Wentz and so
40:07
Speaker 1: did you have to give up the same Did you
40:11
Speaker 1: turn around and flip those picks for Matt Ryan? I
40:17
Speaker 1: don't know anyway, just throwing that out there, but I'm
40:21
Speaker 1: not a third round draft pick, third round pick, so
40:23
Speaker 1: you netted you you traded Carson Wentz, and then you
40:28
Speaker 1: netted a second round pick out of that deal. So
40:31
Speaker 1: you got Matt Ryan a second round pick, and you
40:33
Speaker 1: got rid of Carson Wentz. Essentially, that's a pretty good
40:36
Speaker 1: deal for the Coals third round pick than a two
40:39
Speaker 1: year deal for Ryan. Wow. We'll get more into that
40:43
Speaker 1: next weekend. It's just interesting to me because, I mean,
40:46
Speaker 1: we're you're talking about two organizations that just did a
40:48
Speaker 1: deal with the with the organization of the Jaguars faced
40:51
Speaker 1: in the last week of the preseason. And so when
40:55
Speaker 1: you're looking at which organizations are doing things the right way,
41:00
Speaker 1: in this case, you would look at the the Washington
41:03
Speaker 1: Commanders is not doing at the smart way because it
41:07
Speaker 1: was a year in which there was a lot of
41:08
Speaker 1: quarterbacks available and you ended up giving up a pretty
41:12
Speaker 1: good amount of draft equity to get somebody that really
41:17
Speaker 1: wasn't in high demand and Carson Wentz, and yet the
41:20
Speaker 1: Colts end up getting somebody for only one pick that
41:25
Speaker 1: has I think, in my opinion, is a much better
41:28
Speaker 1: quarterback than what they got rid of, and yet they
41:33
Speaker 1: ended up netting a draft pick out of that. So
41:37
Speaker 1: clearly the Colts are are doing things the right way.
41:42
Speaker 1: So and hopefully this football team with some of the
41:45
Speaker 1: acquisitions will look back on them and say, you know what,
41:48
Speaker 1: that three hundred and twenty three million dollars in contracts
41:51
Speaker 1: that were spending the year man did that payoff? That's
41:55
Speaker 1: what you hope I mean because that's the number right
41:59
Speaker 1: million worth contracts. A lot of money, a lot of money.
42:03
Speaker 1: It happens when you deal in free agency. Well, and
42:06
Speaker 1: that's what happens when you're you're not drafting and developing
42:10
Speaker 1: at at the rate that you need to do it
42:13
Speaker 1: at and speaking, So now instead of just supplementing your
42:18
Speaker 1: roster and free agency, this team had to go out
42:20
Speaker 1: and had to spend deeply in free agency to to
42:23
Speaker 1: make this roster a competitive one going into the regular season.
42:26
Speaker 1: So that's you know, that's where you want to get
42:29
Speaker 1: to the point where you're not having to do that
42:31
Speaker 1: every year, because here's the reality, you can't do it
42:34
Speaker 1: every year. They've got something called a salary cap. JP
42:40
Speaker 1: they may not have the same cat the rams they
42:43
Speaker 1: just gave. They just gave having Steen the right tackle
42:47
Speaker 1: a new deal, rolling it over so um at what point,
42:55
Speaker 1: because the Rams have a ton of money that it's
43:00
Speaker 1: on point they're gonna have to pay the piper on well,
43:02
Speaker 1: I mean whoever is in charge there of course ums
43:07
Speaker 1: which I don't know if you saw this, uh less
43:10
Speaker 1: need and Sean McVeigh just got extended to today the
43:15
Speaker 1: news was announced and with the amount of money that
43:21
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh supposedly was offered for network television, I'll bet
43:28
Speaker 1: you he's the highest paid coach in football right now,
43:31
Speaker 1: just because of the offers that he had in the
43:34
Speaker 1: off season to put the whistle down and pick up
43:38
Speaker 1: a headset and be the next John Madden. Maybe, what
43:42
Speaker 1: do you think? What do you think his number to
43:44
Speaker 1: be the coach right now? What do you what do
43:46
Speaker 1: you think Sean McVeigh just got in his deal? I
43:49
Speaker 1: bet you it's to being the coach. It's ten, ten
43:53
Speaker 1: to twelve a year's do you think he got ten
43:57
Speaker 1: to twelve That's what I think. I don't know. I
44:00
Speaker 1: would bet that it's at least that because what before
44:04
Speaker 1: Jon Gruden was getting ten a year with the Raiders
44:07
Speaker 1: until he got run out of town, right, that's right?
44:10
Speaker 1: And Belichick, nobody really knows what Belichick has never been
44:13
Speaker 1: out there, it's never been published, and people only speculate.
44:17
Speaker 1: But since he is the best coach in football in
44:21
Speaker 1: my opinion, I would I would think that he's worth
44:25
Speaker 1: twenty million a year, right, or a share or a
44:27
Speaker 1: slice of ownership or something which is not far fetched
44:31
Speaker 1: up there that I mean, it's that's not far fetched.
44:33
Speaker 1: I mean, he's I think he's that valuable to a
44:37
Speaker 1: franchise twenty million a year. I mean, okay, there's a
44:42
Speaker 1: lot of teams that end up having twenty million lost
44:45
Speaker 1: every year on players that don't produce. I would think though,
44:48
Speaker 1: that would have to come out at some point and
44:50
Speaker 1: be public, and at least in the NFL world, if
44:52
Speaker 1: you're your ownership of the team does not you don't
44:56
Speaker 1: have to do. Nobody know that does not have to
44:59
Speaker 1: be Nobody else has to know what they do in
45:03
Speaker 1: New England between coach and ownership that nobody else has
45:07
Speaker 1: to know. And that's why the speculation is just it's
45:11
Speaker 1: so far all over the place. I mean, just like
45:13
Speaker 1: the speculation last year of where this coach that was
45:17
Speaker 1: here in Jacksonville with or Mayer where he was at.
45:19
Speaker 1: I mean, nobody really knew who knows. Let's get to
45:23
Speaker 1: our final thoughts about this Jaguars Commanders game coming up Sunday,
45:28
Speaker 1: one o'clock FedEx Field, Land over Maryland. The Jaguars have
45:31
Speaker 1: beaten the Washington franchise only one time in seven all
45:35
Speaker 1: time meetings. That was in two thousand two. Washington's won
45:38
Speaker 1: the last four matchups, including overtime wins over the Jaguars
45:42
Speaker 1: and OH six and the last meeting eighteen here in Jacksonville.
45:47
Speaker 1: The Jags lost that one to sixteen to thirteen. It
45:50
Speaker 1: is the season opener Jaguars at fourteen and thirteen all
45:53
Speaker 1: time to open a season, including three of the last
45:56
Speaker 1: five years a win. I think the coach of the
46:00
Speaker 1: only win in Jaguar's history against the Washington team. I
46:05
Speaker 1: believe del Rio was the coach two thousand two would
46:08
Speaker 1: have been Um, it would have been Tom's last season, right, yeah,
46:14
Speaker 1: you got run out right? Okay, you might be right.
46:19
Speaker 1: I thought it was del Rio for some reason. Why
46:21
Speaker 1: am I thinking that? Ye? But you you probably no
46:24
Speaker 1: better than me. You know. The other little set a
46:28
Speaker 1: little bit of history that is uh gonna We're gonna
46:32
Speaker 1: talk about this during the radio broadcast of the game.
46:36
Speaker 1: JP who scored the first touchdown in Jaguar's history. First
46:44
Speaker 1: touchdown in a regular season game, yes, j preseason games.
46:50
Speaker 1: It sounded like a trick question. No no, no, no no, no.
46:53
Speaker 1: Preseason games don't count. You know that? About in a
46:56
Speaker 1: regular season game first touchdown could have been against the
47:00
Speaker 1: UH I don't know, I was, I don't know. You
47:04
Speaker 1: don't know. Desmond Howard, he scored the first touchdown in
47:08
Speaker 1: preseason believe, Okay, I have no idea. And then and
47:13
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a link this week. It
47:15
Speaker 1: would make sense since you're bringing it why I'm bringing
47:17
Speaker 1: it up exactly, But the Washington Commander's running backs coach
47:23
Speaker 1: is Randy Jordan's okay, and Randy in week two, the
47:29
Speaker 1: first week we lost to the Houston Oilers ten to three,
47:32
Speaker 1: so we didn't score a touchdown here at the Bank,
47:36
Speaker 1: and then Jars history didn't get shut out. He barely
47:39
Speaker 1: did get shut out. But in week two we traveled
47:42
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati and in the first quarter, Steve Burline through
47:46
Speaker 1: a pass to running back Randy Jordan's who took at
47:49
Speaker 1: seventy one yards for the touchdown for the first Jaguars
47:53
Speaker 1: touchdown in history. About that so he's with Washington. He
47:56
Speaker 1: is on the staff. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Randy's a
47:59
Speaker 1: good guy, good guy, been been a coach I think
48:03
Speaker 1: since his playing career ended, and uh, he's been doing
48:06
Speaker 1: a great job. So I'm actually I'm hoping I get
48:08
Speaker 1: to catch up with him. Yeah. Conference last year was
48:11
Speaker 1: oh two and it was O two that this team
48:15
Speaker 1: beat the Washington Yep, Washington. Whatever's the only time it's
48:21
Speaker 1: happened years ago? Washington. Okay, they've got the Redskins football
48:26
Speaker 1: team and now commanders. What I liked the football team?
48:29
Speaker 1: That was cool. Yeah, what was wrong with that? Unique?
48:33
Speaker 1: But if you were going to do a logo, then
48:34
Speaker 1: just keep the w right and just always call it
48:36
Speaker 1: the Washington football still have it? They didn't? Ask us said,
48:40
Speaker 1: I think they should have kept that. Well, it's what
48:44
Speaker 1: it is. And it's going to be at one o'clock
48:46
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I'm looking forward to it. And what do
48:49
Speaker 1: you think? What's your gut here? My gut, I mean,
48:53
Speaker 1: my gut is is that Carson Wentz is Carson Wentz.
48:57
Speaker 1: And you can figure that out, thank you. I'm not
49:00
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of Carson Wentz. I think he'll
49:02
Speaker 1: throw you one or two. No, his interception percentage is
49:05
Speaker 1: actually very low. But some of his decision making has
49:09
Speaker 1: been poor. But he does not throw a lot of interceptions.
49:14
Speaker 1: That's one thing about him. Now can he can he
49:17
Speaker 1: hurt himself in other ways? Yeah, he can do that,
49:20
Speaker 1: but then he if he gets on a roll and
49:22
Speaker 1: he has confidence with his legs. I just know this
49:25
Speaker 1: JP when when Douck Peterson had him in like year two,
49:29
Speaker 1: he was considered the top young quarterback in the league. Oh,
49:36
Speaker 1: he was on an m v P pace. People were going,
49:39
Speaker 1: he is the next great quarterback. And it didn't work
49:45
Speaker 1: out that way. So, like I said, I think Carson
49:50
Speaker 1: Wentz is Carson Wentz. And I think that we're gonna
49:52
Speaker 1: see Trevor Lawrence pick up where he left off because
49:56
Speaker 1: I thought his best performance of the year last year
49:59
Speaker 1: was that last game of against Indianapolis. And my hope
50:02
Speaker 1: is is that he just literally picks up right from
50:04
Speaker 1: there and then continues to get better with a with
50:08
Speaker 1: a much better arsenal of weapons on the offensive side
50:12
Speaker 1: of the ball. I like what I'm hearing. Let's hear
50:15
Speaker 1: from head coach Doug Peterson coming up bullmits away the
50:18
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network ahead of
50:22
Speaker 1: Week one, The Commanders and the Jaguars. This is Jaguars
50:25
Speaker 1: Happy Hour on Jaguars Radio
