0:03
Speaker 1: Welcome to The Doug Peterson Show, brought to you by
0:06
Speaker 1: the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. J T.
0:10
Speaker 1: Shadrick and former Jaguar Jeff Logoman discussed the latest Jaguars
0:14
Speaker 1: news with the head coach. The Doug Peterson Show starts
0:18
Speaker 1: right now and welcome in, Yes, The Doug Peterson Show,
0:22
Speaker 1: Week fourteen, the Jaguars and the Tennessee Titans coming up.
0:25
Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick with Jeff Logoman and Jaguars head coach
0:29
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson and moving off of last week's performance in Detroit,
0:33
Speaker 1: the defensive issues there, the offense had some drops, some
0:37
Speaker 1: things like that. But I guess the question moving ahead
0:40
Speaker 1: is how has the team responded in the meetings on
0:42
Speaker 1: the practice field coming off that game, and and how
0:45
Speaker 1: do you challenge the team to put together a bounce
0:48
Speaker 1: back performance after a week like that. Yeah, the first thing,
0:51
Speaker 1: you know, looking back, that wasn't it wasn't that wasn't
0:53
Speaker 1: us last weekend. Um, you know, there wasn't really anything
0:57
Speaker 1: positive that came out of that game in all three phases.
0:59
Speaker 1: You know, I think all offense, defense, and special teams
1:01
Speaker 1: all kind of we got our tail kicked, you know,
1:03
Speaker 1: in all three phases and and um, you know that's
1:06
Speaker 1: the thing about this league and and and it just
1:08
Speaker 1: goes to show you that every week is a different
1:10
Speaker 1: set of circumstances. You've got to be prepared every single
1:13
Speaker 1: week against every opponent. Every team is good, you know.
1:16
Speaker 1: And and and the beauty of where we sit, uh
1:19
Speaker 1: as we get an opportunity to go on the road
1:21
Speaker 1: again against the division opponent, you know, Tennessee Titans, and
1:25
Speaker 1: uh and try to rebound and and put our best
1:27
Speaker 1: foot forward. And the guys have, uh had had a
1:30
Speaker 1: really good couple of days and and you know they're
1:33
Speaker 1: they're they're upset, they're disappointed. You know, they put that
1:36
Speaker 1: out on tape, that that that's now you're only as
1:40
Speaker 1: good as your last game or as bad as your
1:42
Speaker 1: last game. And so that's the that's what people remember.
1:45
Speaker 1: And UH so they're uh, they're obviously disappointed and focused
1:48
Speaker 1: and uh and ready for another opportunity. And never fun,
1:50
Speaker 1: but you gotta learn from it. And and you know,
1:52
Speaker 1: to go back earlier in the season when you had
1:55
Speaker 1: a couple of wins. I remember the phrase, so what
1:57
Speaker 1: now what? And that really applies even now after a
2:01
Speaker 1: bad performance. It does, it does, You're exactly right, and
2:04
Speaker 1: and you know, the faster you can put things behind you.
2:08
Speaker 1: And um, you know that's so what it's now, what
2:11
Speaker 1: it's now? Now? What is the time. It's the time
2:13
Speaker 1: to go, and it's time to play and and um,
2:15
Speaker 1: you know you have five ball games left and in
2:18
Speaker 1: you know, quite honestly, everything is still you know, right
2:21
Speaker 1: in front of us. Um. You know, from an opportunity standpoint,
2:23
Speaker 1: you know, we we dug ourselves a little bit more
2:26
Speaker 1: into a hole. Um, you know with the lost last weekend.
2:29
Speaker 1: But but I'm excited for this football team and where
2:32
Speaker 1: we're headed. With your defense. Earlier in this season, you
2:35
Speaker 1: guys were playing the run really well, and that gave
2:38
Speaker 1: you an opportunity to rush the past or better. How
2:41
Speaker 1: do you get back to being a defense that controls
2:44
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage in the run game to allow
2:47
Speaker 1: yourself better opportunities and down in distant situations when you
2:50
Speaker 1: get the third down. You know what you've seen, And
2:53
Speaker 1: I think how teams are are scheming our defense. Uh
2:57
Speaker 1: number one, Uh, they feel like our base defense. It's
3:01
Speaker 1: hard to run against our base defense. And that's that's
3:03
Speaker 1: where teams. They don't want to they don't want to
3:05
Speaker 1: get in big personnel, they don't want to get in
3:07
Speaker 1: twelve personnel. They want to stay little, uh, put nickel
3:10
Speaker 1: on the field and give the opportunities and not only
3:12
Speaker 1: throw the football, but also run the football, you know. Um.
3:15
Speaker 1: And so that's that's what we've seen, you know, in
3:17
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. But you know, it really
3:19
Speaker 1: doesn't matter who's on the field. You know, we've got
3:21
Speaker 1: to be really disciplined in in um, you know, our
3:24
Speaker 1: our run fits that the guys up front have have
3:26
Speaker 1: got to do a great job of of shedding blocks.
3:28
Speaker 1: Linebackers gotta be downhill. I mean, there's there's a physicality
3:32
Speaker 1: as you know, you know to the run game, and
3:34
Speaker 1: and you know we're we're gonna see a ton of
3:36
Speaker 1: it this weekend, um, you know, with Derrick Henry and
3:39
Speaker 1: and uh, the tremendous run game that they have. So
3:42
Speaker 1: you know, regardless of its base defense or nickel defense,
3:46
Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna take eleven guys doing their job,
3:49
Speaker 1: um to make sure that we you know, kind of
3:51
Speaker 1: kind of nullify the run a little bit. And then
3:54
Speaker 1: you know, obviously you know, try to slow down Derrick Henry. Alright, coach,
3:59
Speaker 1: let's go to the Microsoft surface for a fan question,
4:01
Speaker 1: and it involves the quarterback position, which is under the
4:05
Speaker 1: microscope this week at how difficult is it for an
4:08
Speaker 1: offense to practice and perform with a backup quarterback stepping
4:11
Speaker 1: into practice this late in the season, And of course
4:14
Speaker 1: that's coming off the toe issue for Trevor Lawrence didn't
4:17
Speaker 1: practice Wednesday. What's the latest with him? And then c J.
4:20
Speaker 1: Bethard on the practice field this, Yeah, No, Trevor is
4:23
Speaker 1: doing fine. He's uh, he's doing he's doing great his
4:26
Speaker 1: day to day. Uh. I just want to make sure
4:28
Speaker 1: he's a hundred percent or at least close to a
4:30
Speaker 1: you know, before we get him back out there. But
4:33
Speaker 1: you know, for us, we're we're blessed to have a
4:34
Speaker 1: veteran quarterback. And c J. H. He understands our system,
4:37
Speaker 1: he understands the offense, he understands the personnel that we
4:40
Speaker 1: have on the field, you know, and and and I
4:42
Speaker 1: know exactly how he feels. You know, he's the backup
4:44
Speaker 1: quarterback stepping in you know, for a starter during the
4:47
Speaker 1: week of practice, and and you know he's preparing to
4:51
Speaker 1: play if need be. You know, and and um, you know,
4:54
Speaker 1: obviously we're optimistic and hopeful that that Trevor you know,
4:57
Speaker 1: is ready to go on game day. But but if not,
5:00
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm telling you right now, c J. C
5:02
Speaker 1: J will be prepared and and he's excited for the opportunity.
5:04
Speaker 1: He's had a great week so far. And and um,
5:07
Speaker 1: veteran guy that you know, just uh sort of cherishes
5:11
Speaker 1: the moment. Trevor being a young quarterback, you know, it's
5:14
Speaker 1: important for young quarterbacks to take reps in the week
5:17
Speaker 1: leading up to a game. He's never been in a
5:20
Speaker 1: situation like this where he hasn't had practice reps you know,
5:23
Speaker 1: one day now, who knows what happens going forward. But
5:26
Speaker 1: if he has to play, how do you emphasize to
5:29
Speaker 1: your quarterback and you obviously probably had to do this
5:32
Speaker 1: in the past, how do you emphasize to your starting
5:34
Speaker 1: quarterback that may miss some time during the week, what
5:36
Speaker 1: does he have to do to get ready to play
5:38
Speaker 1: on Sunday. The biggest thing is the mental preparation during
5:42
Speaker 1: the week and and understanding and watching the tape in
5:45
Speaker 1: the film, watching practice see how see how the game
5:48
Speaker 1: plan kind of folds throughout the course of the week.
5:51
Speaker 1: And you know that I think the biggest thing in
5:53
Speaker 1: our conversations, you know, with Trevor, are just gonna be this, like, hey,
5:57
Speaker 1: just just execute the offense. Don't don't do too much right,
6:00
Speaker 1: you know, you haven't had the full complement of reps
6:02
Speaker 1: during the week, and let's just go out and execute
6:04
Speaker 1: what we've been able to do, uh, throughout the course
6:07
Speaker 1: of the year. That's that's given us some success on offense.
6:10
Speaker 1: And you know, and honestly to you gotta you gotta
6:12
Speaker 1: rely a little bit on the offensive line in the
6:14
Speaker 1: run game and and get that going. And you know,
6:16
Speaker 1: that's that's an area that we've kind of struggled in
6:18
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks of getting that run game going.
6:20
Speaker 1: And and uh, that would be a big help to uh,
6:23
Speaker 1: you know, helping Trevor, you know, on Sunday and with
6:26
Speaker 1: Travis et in last week put the ball on the
6:28
Speaker 1: carpet early in the ball game. So he's had a
6:31
Speaker 1: couple of fumbles. You know, the Giants game had one
6:33
Speaker 1: tight red area or red zone area and then this one.
6:36
Speaker 1: And you know how that works. I mean, once you
6:38
Speaker 1: kind of put that on film, opponents are gonna say Hey, look,
6:40
Speaker 1: this guy has put the ball on the ground. They're
6:42
Speaker 1: gonna be going after it now at a higher level
6:44
Speaker 1: maybe than they ordinarily would. So how do you prepare
6:47
Speaker 1: Travis for that? You know, it's just a matter of
6:50
Speaker 1: just continuing to show him and and actually, you know,
6:53
Speaker 1: work it in practice, have our have our look team
6:56
Speaker 1: punch and and strip and try to pull the ball out,
6:58
Speaker 1: and just you make it conscious effort to to hang
7:00
Speaker 1: onto the football and get back to the fundamentals of
7:03
Speaker 1: of what we teach during the course of the week
7:06
Speaker 1: with with ball security. Um still have a lot of confidence,
7:09
Speaker 1: you know, but but yeah, you're right, you know, those
7:11
Speaker 1: are the things that you're putting out there on tape,
7:12
Speaker 1: and teams see that. It's sort of like you know,
7:16
Speaker 1: blood in the water, you know, and and the and
7:18
Speaker 1: the sharks begin to swarm a little bit and and
7:21
Speaker 1: and they see that, and they'll go after the football. So,
7:23
Speaker 1: you know, we just continue to to to educate all
7:26
Speaker 1: our players on ball security, put them through ball security circuits,
7:29
Speaker 1: you know, drills during the course of the week, and
7:31
Speaker 1: just uh, you know, when they get to when they
7:33
Speaker 1: get to game time, and just make a conscious effort
7:35
Speaker 1: of you know, hanging up, wrapping up the ball and
7:38
Speaker 1: holding on to it. Is there a way that you
7:40
Speaker 1: teach a running back in the league to hold the ball?
7:42
Speaker 1: You know? I go back to the memory bank. Tom
7:44
Speaker 1: Coffin was tike barber and kind of change the way
7:47
Speaker 1: that he held it and made him hold it up higher.
7:50
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure that everything works differently for different
7:53
Speaker 1: running backs, but does there a belief or a way
7:55
Speaker 1: to carry the ball? You are Bernie Parmly have you know?
7:57
Speaker 1: You're running backs coach? You know, we um we preach
8:00
Speaker 1: a lot about wrist above the elbow number one. Anytime
8:02
Speaker 1: that wrist drops below the elbow, you expose the football.
8:05
Speaker 1: And and then we talked about a class. We talked
8:07
Speaker 1: about the off off hand coming over the top of
8:10
Speaker 1: the ball when we you know, brace for contact and
8:12
Speaker 1: and keeping the ball tight to your pack in your
8:14
Speaker 1: chest just like you were talking about. You're keeping it
8:16
Speaker 1: up a little bit higher. But keep that wrist above
8:18
Speaker 1: the elbow, uh clasp, hold it tight, don't get it loose,
8:22
Speaker 1: you know, and keep the ball away from the defender.
8:25
Speaker 1: You know, you see ball carriers switch hands, which is okay.
8:29
Speaker 1: But but we talked a lot about body ball boundary right.
8:32
Speaker 1: You want your your body and the ball to the
8:35
Speaker 1: boundary side so that you use your off hand or
8:37
Speaker 1: inside hand as a stiff arm and protect the football
8:40
Speaker 1: that way. So these are all things that we've educated
8:42
Speaker 1: our players on all the way back to the off season.
8:45
Speaker 1: We continue to use them each week now during the
8:48
Speaker 1: regular season. And um, you know, it just comes down
8:50
Speaker 1: to a conscious effort of just understanding guys are gonna
8:53
Speaker 1: go after the football. And Tennessee is another good defense of,
8:56
Speaker 1: you know, trying to punch that ball out. Doug Peterson
8:58
Speaker 1: with us on the Doug Peters Some show. And speaking
9:01
Speaker 1: of stiff arms, Derrick Henry is on the other side
9:04
Speaker 1: this week. The numbers haven't been there really the last
9:06
Speaker 1: month or so. But it really only takes one breakdown,
9:10
Speaker 1: one missed opportunity to bring him down or one two
9:13
Speaker 1: or three stiff arms and he can flip the field
9:15
Speaker 1: in a hurry. How do you slow him down? Uh, yeah,
9:19
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's a challenge, you know, but it's it's
9:22
Speaker 1: all it's all eleven, you know, it's all eleven on defense.
9:25
Speaker 1: And and obviously it starts with the defensive line and
9:28
Speaker 1: linebackers and and then it works its way to the
9:31
Speaker 1: secondary with safety is being downhill. Corners are gonna have
9:33
Speaker 1: to get physical in the run game, you know, and
9:36
Speaker 1: and do the best they can to you know, stop
9:38
Speaker 1: his charge. He'll he'll get back there seven and a
9:40
Speaker 1: half eight yards deep and and here he comes, and
9:43
Speaker 1: and he's tremendous running back. And you know, um teams
9:47
Speaker 1: have been able to kind of swarm and control the
9:48
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage have had success, you know, against him,
9:51
Speaker 1: and UM, you know that's something we've got to try
9:53
Speaker 1: to do this week and and um again, the more
9:57
Speaker 1: we can slow him down and keep him, you know, uh,
10:01
Speaker 1: under control easier said than done. Uh, the better your chances.
10:06
Speaker 1: I've heard terms used with him before you know, you
10:08
Speaker 1: try to stop him before he gets started populate Derrick Henry.
10:12
Speaker 1: But the one thing I think that that has really helped,
10:15
Speaker 1: when when you're trying to stop Derrick Henry's you score
10:18
Speaker 1: early and often against Tennessee, kind of takes them a
10:20
Speaker 1: little bit out of their groove and wanting to run
10:22
Speaker 1: the football because that's not what their offense does best
10:25
Speaker 1: exactly right. And and the more the more we can
10:28
Speaker 1: play great offense, which is kind of like a playing
10:31
Speaker 1: great defense right and and keeping them off the field
10:33
Speaker 1: or as you say, score and the more you can
10:35
Speaker 1: score and and and get get a lead and sustain
10:38
Speaker 1: the lead. Um, you know, puts the ball in the
10:40
Speaker 1: air just a little bit more, you know, for them.
10:42
Speaker 1: But you know, and that's and that's where the offense
10:45
Speaker 1: you know, again, I think that's where ball control offensively,
10:48
Speaker 1: getting the run game going, be efficient in the passing game,
10:51
Speaker 1: you know, stay on schedule, stay ahead of the sticks,
10:54
Speaker 1: stay out of those third and long situations which you
10:56
Speaker 1: know defenses you know, and this is a great defense
10:59
Speaker 1: on third down, UM, and they pride themselves and getting
11:02
Speaker 1: off the field. So you know, those are all keys
11:05
Speaker 1: to really helping us win this game. You know, Sunday
11:08
Speaker 1: number one in the league on third downs on defense.
11:11
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons has a big hand in that. Where where
11:13
Speaker 1: does he rank in terms of maybe comparing to some
11:16
Speaker 1: of the guys you've seen this year on the D line. Yeah,
11:17
Speaker 1: we've We've played a ton of great interior guys and
11:20
Speaker 1: and edge rushers, you know, and he's one of the
11:22
Speaker 1: top guys. Well we'll see all season. You know, he's
11:24
Speaker 1: in our division. Uh, you think of you know, the
11:27
Speaker 1: two big guys there in Indianapolis. And you know, and
11:30
Speaker 1: and you know, our our guards have done a nice job,
11:34
Speaker 1: you know this year, you know, defending. But but listen,
11:36
Speaker 1: he's a guy that gets rolling. He can get on
11:38
Speaker 1: edge and create an edge and and get after the
11:41
Speaker 1: past or he's he's physical in the run game. Just
11:43
Speaker 1: an overall great player and um, you know, one of
11:46
Speaker 1: the one of the top leaders on their football team.
11:48
Speaker 1: He's kind of a little bit of a microcosm of
11:51
Speaker 1: their team because I mean, that's a physical football team,
11:53
Speaker 1: both offensively and defensively. And I don't want to say
11:56
Speaker 1: they play bullyball, but they play a physical brand of football.
11:59
Speaker 1: And that's what Mike Abel's been teaching him ever since
12:01
Speaker 1: he's been there. You're exactly right. They feed off of
12:03
Speaker 1: what Mike uh you know of Abel teaches and and
12:05
Speaker 1: of course him being a defensive guy himself and in uh,
12:09
Speaker 1: you know, being a physical guy and and you know
12:11
Speaker 1: that's that's the emotion of the football team. And and
12:14
Speaker 1: then they're well coached, well disciplined. You see it. You
12:16
Speaker 1: see it all over the field, uh, in all three phases.
12:19
Speaker 1: They're good on special teams as well. And and um,
12:22
Speaker 1: you know you see why. Obviously they're they're the top
12:25
Speaker 1: of the a f C South right now and everybody's
12:27
Speaker 1: chasing them. Final thought with the coach setting the tone
12:30
Speaker 1: in the a f C South, Jacks haven't won in
12:32
Speaker 1: Nashville in a long time, but the importance of a
12:37
Speaker 1: win this week against the perennial power in the division
12:40
Speaker 1: too maybe set the tone maybe not for this year,
12:42
Speaker 1: but for the years ahead that the Jags aren't getting
12:46
Speaker 1: pushed around by the division anymore. How big would that
12:48
Speaker 1: be to score a win this week? Well, I think
12:50
Speaker 1: I think it'd be number one to be huge and
12:52
Speaker 1: obviously it's um it would it would go a long
12:55
Speaker 1: way to the goals that we still have you know
12:57
Speaker 1: in place for this season. And and um, you know,
13:00
Speaker 1: just would just be a great indication that that we're improving,
13:04
Speaker 1: you know, as a football team and and things have
13:06
Speaker 1: changed in Jacksonville and and gives the guys a lot
13:09
Speaker 1: of confidence, you know going into the last you know
13:11
Speaker 1: month of the season. So, um, do everything you can
13:14
Speaker 1: to try to try to get a win against a
13:16
Speaker 1: good opponent on the road. Um, and uh, and see
13:19
Speaker 1: if we can get that done. Doug. Thanks for the
13:21
Speaker 1: time as always. Good luck to you in Nashville. All right,
13:23
Speaker 1: thank you, it's head coach Doug Peterson. We're back with
13:26
Speaker 1: more of the Doug Peterson Show after this on the
13:28
Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome Back. The Doug Peterson Show continues
13:45
Speaker 1: right now. Welcome back. It is the Doug Peterson Show,
13:49
Speaker 1: j P. Shadrick, Jeff Flagerman our thanks to the Jaguars
13:52
Speaker 1: head coach Doug Peterson for joining us each and every week,
13:56
Speaker 1: and this week it's Week fourteen, the Jaguars and the
13:59
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans coming up. He had a little, uh, I
14:03
Speaker 1: don't know if that was a nervous energy chuckle when
14:06
Speaker 1: I asked him how to tackle Derrick Henry or what
14:08
Speaker 1: that was. But it's never easy. And that's what stood
14:12
Speaker 1: out to me about that conversation. Yeah, the big backs,
14:15
Speaker 1: you just gotta get a lot of guys there. You
14:18
Speaker 1: need to hit him as as much as they can.
14:20
Speaker 1: And and with most big guys, even Derrick Henry to
14:24
Speaker 1: some extent because he's out standing back, they sometimes need
14:29
Speaker 1: a little room to get going. And well, not necessarily
14:33
Speaker 1: a runway if it's a short runway, but they need
14:35
Speaker 1: a runway. So I mean I like that. Thanks, that
14:39
Speaker 1: was great, JP. I appreciate it. Actually, that was incredible
14:41
Speaker 1: one for me. Really made up for your movement thing
14:46
Speaker 1: earlier ring the bell. But if you can get to
14:51
Speaker 1: him a little bit early, because Derek, once he gets going,
14:53
Speaker 1: I mean that's when you see the stiff arms and
14:56
Speaker 1: the power just running through guys. And I used to
15:00
Speaker 1: great back. I mean, he's, uh, you gotta populate him.
15:03
Speaker 1: You gotta hit him, you gotta hit him low, you
15:05
Speaker 1: gotta hit him high, hit him as much as you can.
15:08
Speaker 1: You're gonna hit him high. You better have some guys
15:10
Speaker 1: around you, though. But and here's the thing that's very
15:14
Speaker 1: surprising about him. Most big backs that are tall, you know,
15:21
Speaker 1: six four to fifty or whatever he is, they don't
15:25
Speaker 1: get to the outside and get vertical very well. But
15:28
Speaker 1: they love to do that. That's actually one of the
15:31
Speaker 1: things that he does best. If you go back to
15:33
Speaker 1: the memory bank and you remember that famous run that
15:37
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry had against the Jaguars, it was a play
15:40
Speaker 1: that he bounces out to the perimeter and then he's
15:43
Speaker 1: just stiff farming the small guys. They love to get
15:45
Speaker 1: him on DBS. I mean, of course, who wouldn't, but
15:49
Speaker 1: a lot of running backs don't handle the smaller tackles,
15:53
Speaker 1: the low tackles. But Derrick Henry does such a great
15:55
Speaker 1: job with his stiff arm that they like that. And
15:58
Speaker 1: he's got the speed to get outsiding and not many
16:02
Speaker 1: big backs have that and that that's uh, that's impressive,
16:05
Speaker 1: and that's why he's arguably one of the best backs
16:09
Speaker 1: in the league. But over the last four weeks he
16:12
Speaker 1: slowed down a little bit, or they have been or
16:14
Speaker 1: he has been slowed down by the opponent. So you
16:17
Speaker 1: hope the Jaguars can keep that trend going because if
16:22
Speaker 1: you can't, it will make it much more difficult to win.
16:26
Speaker 1: What else stood out about our conversation with the head
16:28
Speaker 1: coach tonight? Quarterback was the big, big topic, but everybody's
16:31
Speaker 1: kind of got their ears on it at least, and
16:33
Speaker 1: we'll see kind of a thing I think that you
16:35
Speaker 1: come away with that, um, you know, I think definitely
16:40
Speaker 1: also just the big picture thing. And one thing I
16:42
Speaker 1: think that impresses me about Doug is that he never
16:48
Speaker 1: reacts in a knee jerk way, whether it's positive or
16:51
Speaker 1: whether it's negative. And I don't want to say steady
16:55
Speaker 1: Eddie but he's one of those Hey, let's just stay
16:58
Speaker 1: the course. We we have long term objectives that we're
17:02
Speaker 1: trying to reach. We just need to continue to work.
17:05
Speaker 1: And that's what I like about them. And you know,
17:10
Speaker 1: if you go back and you look at at every
17:13
Speaker 1: game prior to the Detroit game, this team had been
17:16
Speaker 1: in every game for the most part, and one possession
17:21
Speaker 1: games all of them, but the one game in Kansas City.
17:23
Speaker 1: So you like that. So you hope that this is
17:27
Speaker 1: one of those games that is kind of an anomaly.
17:31
Speaker 1: I guess you could say one of the outliers, outcast,
17:33
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. You hope that that's
17:36
Speaker 1: the case with this game and that you just had
17:40
Speaker 1: a bad day. And sometimes that happens. Kansas City can't
17:44
Speaker 1: even have a bad day. They got beat by Indie
17:48
Speaker 1: earlier this year, and who would have thought that Indye
17:52
Speaker 1: could have beat Kansas City. Nobody. So it can happen.
18:00
Speaker 1: It can, Yes, yes it can. We're gonna come back
18:03
Speaker 1: in a moment and get a little more into the
18:06
Speaker 1: quarterback situation. We've got to discuss the defense. Of course,
18:09
Speaker 1: coming off a tough performance, a rough performance, just a
18:13
Speaker 1: bad performance last week in Detroit, it is time to
18:16
Speaker 1: deck the halls. Duke All join us Sunday, December eighteen

18:38
Speaker 1: on Jaguars Radio. Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues
18:52
Speaker 1: right now. This is the Doug Peterson Show, presented by
18:55
Speaker 1: the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles JP
18:58
Speaker 1: Shadrick with Jeff Logman head coach Doug Peterson in the
19:01
Speaker 1: opening segment. Each and every Thursday is The Jaguars faced
19:05
Speaker 1: the Titans this week, first of two meetings against the
19:08
Speaker 1: division rivals. The Titans will come to Jacksonville in the
19:12
Speaker 1: final week of the regular season on into January, but
19:16
Speaker 1: this week it's in Nashville, place the Jaguars have not
19:19
Speaker 1: won since well. All eyes are well on radio. All
19:24
Speaker 1: ears are on Trevor Lawrence and the toe issue, the
19:28
Speaker 1: big toe on his left foot. That was that was
19:31
Speaker 1: a good adjustment, thank you very much. Depends on your
19:34
Speaker 1: your media choice. Um it, it was scary, obviously, he
19:38
Speaker 1: said it this week. He thought it was his knee
19:40
Speaker 1: at first, and then they got out there and started
19:42
Speaker 1: working on him, and it's like, oh, that doesn't hurt
19:44
Speaker 1: as much as I thought it would, and then all
19:46
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the toe. He came back out, finished
19:48
Speaker 1: the game and then it's a toe issue now all
19:51
Speaker 1: of a sudden, which is a sigh of relief for everyone.
19:55
Speaker 1: But he still has not practiced this week on Wednesday
19:58
Speaker 1: or Thursday, and will see what's it gonna take, you know.
20:02
Speaker 1: And Buck Peterson said on I believe Wednesday his press conference.
20:06
Speaker 1: You know, players, depending on who they are, he might
20:09
Speaker 1: not have to practice to be able to go on Sunday.
20:12
Speaker 1: And he's one of those guys. Well maybe, but it
20:15
Speaker 1: has been proven yet. And that's I think of one
20:17
Speaker 1: of those things where you just kind of kind of
20:19
Speaker 1: wait and see to see if that isn't in fact
20:22
Speaker 1: the case. But it was a gruesome looking kind of
20:27
Speaker 1: tackle because the foot ankle got trapped under the defender
20:33
Speaker 1: and then the knee kind of got twisted a little bit. Yeah,
20:38
Speaker 1: I can tell you that. I'm sure it was scary
20:40
Speaker 1: for him, but I was sitting there going, oh no,
20:44
Speaker 1: one of those moments you're like, hold your breath and uh.
20:48
Speaker 1: When he grabbed at the knee, I was like, oh no.
20:52
Speaker 1: But then when he came out of the tunnel, then
20:54
Speaker 1: jogged across the back of the end, zoes flow and
20:58
Speaker 1: he's running out. He's not limp and let's go. And
21:01
Speaker 1: then he had a couple of runs. When he came
21:03
Speaker 1: back into the game, he felt okay, okay, it's gonna
21:06
Speaker 1: be okay. Maybe just to scare And of course, a
21:10
Speaker 1: lot of times when you're in that moment, the adrenaline
21:13
Speaker 1: carries you through it. It's a lot of I mean,
21:14
Speaker 1: I remember one time coming off the field and this
21:18
Speaker 1: was in college, giving an example, and the trainers are
21:22
Speaker 1: coming up over to me. It's going, come on, we
21:24
Speaker 1: need to see your The doctors are grabbing me, like
21:25
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Stay away from me. It's this
21:28
Speaker 1: football game. We're playing Clemson, okay. And and it was
21:33
Speaker 1: a weird occurrence. The helmet that I was wearing, which
21:38
Speaker 1: was a bike helmet, and the bike helmet had this
21:41
Speaker 1: web inflatable web. But then right on your forehead and
21:45
Speaker 1: had another layer of pad that was in kind of
21:47
Speaker 1: a stationary position, so there could be a separation between
21:52
Speaker 1: these two different paths, the webbing on the top and
21:54
Speaker 1: then the fixed part across your forehead. So anyway, I
21:58
Speaker 1: banging heads with these offensive lineman, Well that where the
22:02
Speaker 1: pads were at they pulled apart and it literally split
22:05
Speaker 1: my whole forehead open about two inches, and so my
22:09
Speaker 1: forehead was just pouring blood. And I don't I mean,
22:12
Speaker 1: I remember the offensive lineman looking at me kind of funny,
22:15
Speaker 1: and I'm like, hell, you're looking at you know, kind
22:19
Speaker 1: of a thing. And I come off the field and
22:20
Speaker 1: they grabbed me and the doctors saying that, you know,
22:22
Speaker 1: carrying me over by my mom. What is going on? Well,
22:26
Speaker 1: I'm pouring blood out of my forehead. Which is that
22:28
Speaker 1: scar that's right up here. You can probably see it's improvement.
22:33
Speaker 1: It probably was, And they ended up having to They
22:36
Speaker 1: just put a pad on it, gos pad, and then
22:39
Speaker 1: taped around my my head had to sew it up
22:41
Speaker 1: after the game. But I didn't know. Um another time
22:46
Speaker 1: was playing a game and all of a sudden, I
22:48
Speaker 1: go running up the field because we stopped him on
22:50
Speaker 1: downs and it was a pass rush moving in my
22:53
Speaker 1: right pinky was pouring a ninety degree angles to the
22:56
Speaker 1: right and I'm like, old, that's not hood. So I
23:00
Speaker 1: run over to the trainer and I said, hey, Pepper,
23:02
Speaker 1: his name is Pepper Burrows. That pop my finger back
23:05
Speaker 1: in and he said, pops it and gets it back
23:08
Speaker 1: semi straight again and taped it to the other finger.
23:10
Speaker 1: But I mean a lot of times injuries happen in
23:12
Speaker 1: the general and just carries you through that. Now with
23:16
Speaker 1: Trevor with a toe, and I don't know the exact
23:18
Speaker 1: nature of the sprain. I'm not a doctor. Okay, we're
23:21
Speaker 1: not privy to that information. We have no idea. But
23:24
Speaker 1: if it's a toe that's like a sprain toe similar
23:28
Speaker 1: to like what we called turf toe in the past
23:31
Speaker 1: or something to that nature, there are ways that you
23:34
Speaker 1: can protect that toe a little bit. One way is
23:38
Speaker 1: that if it's a like a bruise type situation is
23:40
Speaker 1: to put like an north of plass cover over the
23:43
Speaker 1: toe on the top. If it's more of a sprain
23:45
Speaker 1: type situation, and I have a shoe here, just how convenient.
23:49
Speaker 1: Look at this. If you're watching on Jaguars dot Com,
23:52
Speaker 1: we've got a footwear on the set. When you you
23:55
Speaker 1: have an insul, okay to a shoe, thank you, yes.
23:58
Speaker 1: And there are there things that that you can put
24:02
Speaker 1: in your shoe to help stabilize the entire foot or
24:05
Speaker 1: to actually to stabilize a toe area. And so when
24:10
Speaker 1: you take this insole out, you actually insert a flat
24:15
Speaker 1: thing that goes in there and it will be between
24:18
Speaker 1: the shoe and your insul. There's two different kinds. One
24:22
Speaker 1: of them has like a half metal plate that goes
24:24
Speaker 1: on the forefront of the of the shoe that still
24:29
Speaker 1: allows the flexion of the actual front of the foot,
24:34
Speaker 1: but what it does is it takes some of the
24:36
Speaker 1: pressure off of the toe bending right here in the
24:39
Speaker 1: front part of your foot, so that solid, thin metal
24:43
Speaker 1: plate protects the toe band a little bit. There are
24:48
Speaker 1: other plates that can go in the shoe that are
24:50
Speaker 1: a full plate which is designed for more of a
24:54
Speaker 1: of an arch issue plan our fasciitis issue. But if
24:59
Speaker 1: Trevor has a toe issue, I would not be surprised
25:01
Speaker 1: if he were to wear what I would call the
25:03
Speaker 1: half plate insert under the insole of his shoe to
25:07
Speaker 1: help protect that toe. Thank you for the visual, the
25:13
Speaker 1: and No, my shoe does not suit yours. That is
25:15
Speaker 1: my shoe. Were you wearing that just now? Yes, that's disgusting.
25:19
Speaker 1: Get that off the desks. What are we doing here?
25:22
Speaker 1: What are we doing? Because I'm sitting right next to you.
25:28
Speaker 1: Get it off, get out of here. No, no, yeah, thanks,
25:31
Speaker 1: we're back and we're gonna take time and we're about
25:36
Speaker 1: to move from furniture in here. Um plenty more ahead.
25:39
Speaker 1: We'll get to the defense when we come back. It's
25:43
Speaker 1: the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back.
25:52
Speaker 1: The Doug Peterson Show continues right now. Welcome back. It's
25:57
Speaker 1: week fourteen. The Jaguars and the Tennessee Titans coming up
25:59
Speaker 1: at Knee Sun Stadium, Nashville, Tennessee, this Sunday, one o'clock
26:03
Speaker 1: Eastern time, on the banks of the Cumberland River, just
26:06
Speaker 1: off Broadway, and boy, what a what a town to
26:09
Speaker 1: go visit. The Jaguars hate it there though they haven't
26:12
Speaker 1: won there since, they're trying to turn that around, and
26:15
Speaker 1: it'll take a better defensive performance than last week. I'll
26:19
Speaker 1: say that the Jaguars gave up eight scoring drives and
26:22
Speaker 1: then a kneel down to in the game for the Lions.
26:24
Speaker 1: Couldn't get off the field at all. No punts for Detroit. Alright,
26:29
Speaker 1: So Jeff Lockman, you want to fix it, Go ahead,
26:32
Speaker 1: Well you'd like to fix it. How do you fix it? Well,
26:34
Speaker 1: if if you go back to the Ravens game. Okay,
26:39
Speaker 1: the Ravens very last possession, they ran out of time
26:42
Speaker 1: or running out of time, and they kicked the long
26:44
Speaker 1: field goal attempt right, Yes, the drive before that was
26:49
Speaker 1: a long past the Shawn Jackson. That's right. So in reality,
26:53
Speaker 1: if you, if you go back, there was eight scoring
26:56
Speaker 1: drives against Detroit, and then you had the field goal
26:59
Speaker 1: try that fell short. It was a sixty seven yard attempt,
27:03
Speaker 1: which would have been a record. It was nine of
27:05
Speaker 1: ten drives or scores. So if you if you go back,
27:08
Speaker 1: if you really think about it, if you look at
27:10
Speaker 1: meaningful drives, the Jaguars haven't stopped anybody in the last
27:14
Speaker 1: ten drives defensively, Yeah, I mean because you didn't. You
27:18
Speaker 1: you didn't stop them there for that field goal attempt,
27:20
Speaker 1: because you allowed them on a script kick that didn't
27:24
Speaker 1: work out so well, and then you allowed a completion.
27:26
Speaker 1: You gave them a chance, a long opportunity at a
27:30
Speaker 1: game winning field. Goll. I mean, so the defenses has
27:34
Speaker 1: fallen short. It's a great question and file in one week,
27:39
Speaker 1: is it? Is it one of those where you just
27:40
Speaker 1: kind of gotta have some better play all around. You
27:44
Speaker 1: have to have better play all around, you have to
27:47
Speaker 1: have better coaching, you have to have better fundamentals. You
27:51
Speaker 1: might simplify some things a little bit, because the thing
27:55
Speaker 1: that's that's worrisome is that against Detroit you had open
28:01
Speaker 1: receivers multiple times in the game. When I see open receivers,
28:05
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about a receiver that has three yards
28:08
Speaker 1: of separation that maybe just got separation against a guy
28:11
Speaker 1: and ma'am coverage, I'm talking about a blown coverage. Then
28:16
Speaker 1: man that the guy is there's not anybody within ten
28:19
Speaker 1: or fifteen yards of them. That's the concerning part. It's
28:22
Speaker 1: one thing to get beat when they just physically beat you.
28:26
Speaker 1: They make a better throw and they make a great
28:29
Speaker 1: move on a route to get separation, the quarterback puts
28:32
Speaker 1: it in and just and they have a successful play.
28:35
Speaker 1: That's different than Okay, we had a play and nobody
28:39
Speaker 1: was covering that wide receiver and nobody was covering that
28:42
Speaker 1: tight end or nobody was covering that back out of
28:45
Speaker 1: the backfield. Those are concerning plays against the Ravens, the
28:51
Speaker 1: Sewan Jackson on that long one, the tight end on
28:55
Speaker 1: a crossing route Josh Oliver. I mean, those plays are
28:59
Speaker 1: all concerned eLearning because it's not just a matter of
29:03
Speaker 1: getting beat. But so you just got to continue to coach.
29:05
Speaker 1: You gotta continue to teach and make sure that your
29:09
Speaker 1: defense is assignment aware. And do you shorten the length
29:15
Speaker 1: of the assignments maybe by simplifying things, or you just
29:19
Speaker 1: continue to you know, if you've already simplified, then that's
29:24
Speaker 1: a problem. So there you have it. We're back in
29:28
Speaker 1: a moment plenty more ahead um of physical football game
29:33
Speaker 1: ahead a trench is game. Doug Peterson said, we'll get
29:36
Speaker 1: your thoughts on that logs when we return. It's the
29:38
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio. Welcome back. The Doug
29:49
Speaker 1: Peterson Show continues right now. Welcome back. It is the
29:54
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show. J P. Shadrick with Jeff Lockman, the
29:57
Speaker 1: Jaguars and the Titans coming up. We heard from the
30:00
Speaker 1: Jaguars head coach Doug Peterson. Of course, at the start
30:02
Speaker 1: of the show, he joins us each and every week.
30:05
Speaker 1: All right, So it's Titans week. That means it is
30:10
Speaker 1: a physical football game. The trenches game is, Doug Peterson
30:13
Speaker 1: said earlier this week, offensive line, defensive line, both sides.
30:18
Speaker 1: That where that's where things begin or end for this
30:22
Speaker 1: JAG's football team this week. If it's gonna be one
30:24
Speaker 1: of those battles in the Jaguars offensive lins got to
30:27
Speaker 1: play better. I mean, I'm seriously, they gotta play better.
30:31
Speaker 1: I mean, Tennessee is probably saying the same thing because
30:33
Speaker 1: after their performance against Philly it was it's not very good.
30:37
Speaker 1: But the reason that I say that is one that
30:39
Speaker 1: if Trevor plays, you're gonna have a quarterback that has
30:42
Speaker 1: a toe issue and you don't want to have anything
30:44
Speaker 1: affect him with that toe. And then also understanding that
30:48
Speaker 1: he hasn't had a full weeks, a full week of
30:51
Speaker 1: preparation like he normally would, so allow him a little
30:56
Speaker 1: leeway to kind of get his footing underneath of them,
31:00
Speaker 1: his toe underneath of him, so to speak. Yes, but
31:04
Speaker 1: there's one for you for me. But seriously, last week
31:10
Speaker 1: against Detroit, and I think this is something that it's
31:16
Speaker 1: got to change. This offensive line is not finishing the
31:20
Speaker 1: way that it needs to. What do you mean by that? How?
31:24
Speaker 1: What does that actually mean? In the running game when
31:29
Speaker 1: you're blocking somebody, you know the old saying, go to
31:31
Speaker 1: the whistle. This offensive line needs to finish. There are
31:35
Speaker 1: times when you have offensive linemen that are watching the
31:39
Speaker 1: running back get tackled. Oh that's not good. That doesn't
31:42
Speaker 1: need that's not good past protection. Okay, finish, okay, act
31:50
Speaker 1: like this guy if he touches your quarterback that you're
31:54
Speaker 1: gonna lose a bad, really bad large amount of money
31:59
Speaker 1: or whatever. You have to have something in your mind
32:01
Speaker 1: that says, I have to finish this play run game,
32:06
Speaker 1: pass game. Offensive line's got to do a better job
32:08
Speaker 1: of finishing, especially in the run game and in the
32:12
Speaker 1: past protection thing. This week, you better make sure that
32:17
Speaker 1: your quarterback has clean just because he's coming off of
32:20
Speaker 1: an injury and he hasn't had the week's prep. And
32:25
Speaker 1: part of that also is the tight end group and
32:28
Speaker 1: the wide receiver group. They're a big part of this
32:31
Speaker 1: this running game because a lot of times the Jaguars
32:33
Speaker 1: are running from three wide receivers and one tight endset,
32:36
Speaker 1: so they have to be a part of it as well.
32:38
Speaker 1: If you go back and you look at some of
32:40
Speaker 1: the successful runs of the Jaguars have had this year
32:44
Speaker 1: with the long runs by E. T n the receivers
32:47
Speaker 1: and tight ends have have been had a large part
32:50
Speaker 1: in that because they're blocking people on the perimeter or
32:54
Speaker 1: a safety creeping down in the box or what have you.
32:57
Speaker 1: So they've got to be a big part of that.
32:59
Speaker 1: And the running game needs to really take some of
33:02
Speaker 1: that pressure off of Trevor again, same kind of thing
33:05
Speaker 1: when I'm talking about with the offensive line because of
33:08
Speaker 1: the foot take pressure off of him, allow a little
33:12
Speaker 1: less stress on him. And if that happens, you got
33:15
Speaker 1: a chance, and you got a big chance down the field.
33:18
Speaker 1: This this Titans group again, as I said before, this
33:21
Speaker 1: Titan secondary is not great. Back to the offensive line.
33:27
Speaker 1: Were they finishing better earlier in the season. Has that
33:30
Speaker 1: changed over time? Let me talk specifically about John Taylor
33:33
Speaker 1: right tackle. Okay, John Taylor has not been finishing well.
33:38
Speaker 1: And then remember how I sung his praises. There was
33:40
Speaker 1: like two or three weeks I was like, this is
33:41
Speaker 1: the best stretch of games I've ever seen Taylor, and
33:45
Speaker 1: it was. It wasn't early. It was like four weeks, five,
33:47
Speaker 1: six or whatever. It was and he had a three
33:49
Speaker 1: two games stretch. I said, that's the best football that
33:52
Speaker 1: I've ever seen him play. He's finishing. His past protection
33:57
Speaker 1: has been really solid this year, really solid, much improved,
34:01
Speaker 1: much improved. But the finishing in the run game is
34:04
Speaker 1: not improved. It's not consistent. He had it again, got
34:08
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks stretch there where the performance was
34:10
Speaker 1: outstanding and finishing. But he's got to get back to finishing.
34:12
Speaker 1: And the thing is when you put it on film
34:14
Speaker 1: and you show what you've done like that at a
34:16
Speaker 1: high level, finishing and past protection being good, you set
34:19
Speaker 1: a standard that you need to be able to to
34:22
Speaker 1: to be able to have each and every week. You know,
34:24
Speaker 1: Cam Robinson, I mean that used to be kind of
34:26
Speaker 1: his calling card, was finishing in the run game. He's
34:29
Speaker 1: got to get back to some of that, and he's
34:30
Speaker 1: kind of backed off a little bit of that. You know.
34:33
Speaker 1: Fortner is another one. He's got to finish. He's a
34:36
Speaker 1: young player that's not finishing. He's got to be more physical.
34:39
Speaker 1: Got to finish and be more physical. I mean, this
34:42
Speaker 1: offensive line needs to get going, you know, this offensive
34:45
Speaker 1: line needs to get going, This defense needs to get going,
34:48
Speaker 1: and they gotta they gotta definitely do something different than
34:51
Speaker 1: what they've done recently to be able to have a
34:54
Speaker 1: different result in Tennessee. When we returned, social media question
34:59
Speaker 1: for Jeff Logoman, Yes, your favorite logs? Bringing on your
35:03
Speaker 1: Twitter guy, I'm Twitter. Yeah, they're on there. Yeah, I
35:11
Speaker 1: am yeah, Yeah, I'm on it. I'm not saying anything
35:14
Speaker 1: that's incorrect. I'm I'm on it. We're not on there.
35:18
Speaker 1: They're on there. We'll see how on there you are
35:20
Speaker 1: when we come back. It's the Doug Peterson Show on
35:22
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome Back. The Doug Peterson Show
35:31
Speaker 1: continues right now. Welcome back to Doug Peterson Show, presented
35:35
Speaker 1: by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
35:37
Speaker 1: JP Shadrick with Jeff Loghoman Doug Peterson in the opening
35:41
Speaker 1: segment each week, the Jaguars and the Titans coming up.
35:44
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Microsoft Surface for a social media
35:47
Speaker 1: question for Jeff Loghoman from at dt W D Caddy
35:53
Speaker 1: two thousand. After a rough week for the defense, what
35:56
Speaker 1: is the best part of this defense right now and
35:59
Speaker 1: how they finished strong? I think that's more of a
36:02
Speaker 1: a positive look at what could be for this defense.
36:06
Speaker 1: What what is the best thing they're doing right now?
36:09
Speaker 1: I know they didn't do much of anything well last week,
36:11
Speaker 1: but if you had to pick one thing, No, and
36:14
Speaker 1: and right now, it's kind of hard to focus in
36:17
Speaker 1: on anything that they're doing well right now. Maybe a
36:20
Speaker 1: player who's playing okay well, I mean, I think I
36:23
Speaker 1: think Foya Lucan is playing very hard. Ray Shawn Jenkins
36:27
Speaker 1: playing very hard. I think Cisco is playing good football.
36:32
Speaker 1: He had a mistake there on the long past and
36:35
Speaker 1: Shawn Jackson there that he needed to be on that
36:37
Speaker 1: side of the field and the deep deep zone there,
36:40
Speaker 1: but overall, I think he's really starting to play faster.
36:43
Speaker 1: I think Tyson Campbell's been consistent and he's been solid.
36:48
Speaker 1: They've got to find a way though to generate more
36:51
Speaker 1: pass rush. But Foyers, I think has been steady. And
36:55
Speaker 1: you know, here's the thing. Foya hasn't been great, but
36:58
Speaker 1: he just plays hard. And Ray Shawn Jenkins hasn't been perfect,
37:04
Speaker 1: but he plays hard. And you have a chance when
37:08
Speaker 1: you have guys that are aware of their assignments and
37:11
Speaker 1: that they play hard. And that's what I like about
37:14
Speaker 1: for you and about Ray Shawn Jenkins, because they are
37:16
Speaker 1: physical and they play hard and they they're not perfect again,
37:20
Speaker 1: but they but they seem to be assignment aware. Okay,
37:25
Speaker 1: there you go. But what I want to see this
37:29
Speaker 1: defense become and get back to is because I know
37:33
Speaker 1: that they're capable. Much like when I talk about how
37:36
Speaker 1: you see Juan Taylor perform in those couple of games
37:39
Speaker 1: where he was like, Wow, that's the best version of
37:41
Speaker 1: Juwan Taylor I've ever seen. Now he set the standard.
37:45
Speaker 1: The same applies for the defense. Go back to the
37:48
Speaker 1: early games of the season. Okay, when this defense was
37:53
Speaker 1: one of the top five defenses in the league against
37:56
Speaker 1: the run and it was fought a Kasi and Roy
38:00
Speaker 1: Robinson Harris and Devon Hamilton's dominating guys, rag dolling guys. Okay,
38:08
Speaker 1: I still believe that they're capable of that, and this
38:10
Speaker 1: is a week that they've got to do that because
38:13
Speaker 1: they're not a good pass rushing team. Okay, that's not
38:18
Speaker 1: breaking news. Okay, there what how many sacks do they have?
38:23
Speaker 1: And what is that in the league? Probably down near
38:25
Speaker 1: the the bottom. If you look at their sacks per
38:29
Speaker 1: pass attempt, it's near the bottom of the league. Josh
38:33
Speaker 1: Allen hasn't had of sex since week four, So without
38:38
Speaker 1: with the lack of pressure, what's the best way that
38:40
Speaker 1: you can get better at rushing the past or if
38:43
Speaker 1: you're better at stopping the run better on the early down,
38:49
Speaker 1: when you are in third down or second down, second down,
38:52
Speaker 1: you might be in second and seven plus when you
38:55
Speaker 1: get the third down, third and six plus. It's amazing
38:59
Speaker 1: how the percentage is work to your favor. When you
39:02
Speaker 1: can get to those two magic numbers seven and six,
39:06
Speaker 1: second down, third down, then you can become a better
39:10
Speaker 1: pass rushing team just because you have the ability to
39:14
Speaker 1: dial up more things as a defensive coordinator, and you
39:16
Speaker 1: can be more aggressive, and it's harder for the offense
39:19
Speaker 1: to to convert third, third and long. Simple fact. But
39:23
Speaker 1: you've got to get back to being physical and controlling
39:26
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage in the run. I'm not saying
39:28
Speaker 1: that Royal Robinson Harris or Divon Hamilton's or Fatakasi gott
39:33
Speaker 1: to become these dominant pass rushers. No, just get back
39:36
Speaker 1: to owning the line of scrimmage what you've done before.
39:38
Speaker 1: Get back to doing that. Get some passion going here.
39:42
Speaker 1: I want to see it kind of look I want
39:44
Speaker 1: to see it because you know what, we've seen it before.
39:48
Speaker 1: Do it? I mean do it. I mean you're and
39:51
Speaker 1: here's the thing. You got a two seventy four pound
39:54
Speaker 1: left guard this week. Okay, you got a center. Hey,
39:58
Speaker 1: that's okay. I mean I was considered like a top
40:02
Speaker 1: ten center in the league. But as Ben Jones Kelsey, no, Hey,
40:08
Speaker 1: the right guard, Nate Davis good player. It was a
40:10
Speaker 1: draft pick a couple of years ago. I think like
40:12
Speaker 1: a when he was a third round pack back in nineteen.
40:15
Speaker 1: He's been a good player for them. That's a challenge.
40:17
Speaker 1: But so what you went against arguably one of the
40:20
Speaker 1: better guards in the National Football League with Quenton Nelson,
40:25
Speaker 1: and you kicked his butt, I mean kicked his butt.
40:29
Speaker 1: So let's kick Nate Davis's butt. I like that plan.
40:34
Speaker 1: We're back in a moment final thoughts ahead of this
40:36
Speaker 1: Jaguars Titans matchup. In a preview of TV tonight, It's
40:41
Speaker 1: The Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio. Welcome back. The
40:51
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show continues right now. Final few moments of
40:56
Speaker 1: The Doug Peterson Show on this Thursday, ahead of Week fourteen,
40:59
Speaker 1: The Jack Wars in the Tennessee Titans coming up. Titans
41:02
Speaker 1: in first place in the a f C South. The
41:04
Speaker 1: Jaguar is in third place, down three games in the
41:08
Speaker 1: division with five games to play, two of those head
41:11
Speaker 1: to head against Tennessee. Yes, mathematically still possible. They're gonna
41:16
Speaker 1: have to run the table and have some help to
41:18
Speaker 1: get it done though, unfortunately, and it is a long shot,
41:22
Speaker 1: but you know, you never know, Hey, you don't run
41:25
Speaker 1: here of course, Tennessee this week, Cowboys coming to Jacksonville
41:29
Speaker 1: the week after that, then a short week at New
41:31
Speaker 1: York against the Jets on Thursday Night football the week
41:34
Speaker 1: of Christmas, then the Texans on the road in Houston,
41:38
Speaker 1: and then uh here we come back to the Bank
41:41
Speaker 1: to wrap up against Tennessee. That's the five games remaining,
41:44
Speaker 1: but one at a time. Logs. How are you feeling
41:47
Speaker 1: about this game, Sunday? Um, I think it's a coin
41:51
Speaker 1: flip at best, but I feel good about the matchup.
41:56
Speaker 1: I think that they can Like I said before, I
41:58
Speaker 1: think that they can do some good things against Tennessee,
42:02
Speaker 1: but I got to prove it, you know. And can
42:07
Speaker 1: Trevor get his first win against somebody other than the
42:11
Speaker 1: Colts in the division. Yeah, it's big if he plays.
42:15
Speaker 1: If he plays, that's the other trick too. If he plays,
42:18
Speaker 1: we'll see if he's out there. C J. Beth has
42:20
Speaker 1: been taking the snace Wednesday and Thursday, And then how
42:24
Speaker 1: do you feel about c J. Bester Bethard if he's
42:27
Speaker 1: the quarterback. They're saying all the right things, but I mean,
42:32
Speaker 1: it's it's different. It's going to be different. I mean,
42:37
Speaker 1: Trevor has been playing well. Trevor has been accurate, Trevor
42:40
Speaker 1: has protected the ball in a great month in November,
42:43
Speaker 1: it was fantastic. The last time we saw c J. Bethard,
42:47
Speaker 1: he wasn't healthy. He wasn't moving around very much. Remember
42:50
Speaker 1: at the end of the off season program whatever that was.
42:52
Speaker 1: He he had an injury, came back almost he didn't
42:55
Speaker 1: tear it. It was a groin injury, and came back
42:57
Speaker 1: at the end of the preseason, played in that one game.
43:00
Speaker 1: Didn't look good. They kind of put him on the
43:02
Speaker 1: shelf again for the last preseason game against Atlanta because
43:05
Speaker 1: he wasn't moving very well. And uh, I mean, I'm
43:09
Speaker 1: assuming that he's healthy, but backup quarterbacks, you know, how
43:14
Speaker 1: would he do well? I need to back up quarterback
43:19
Speaker 1: at some point you gotta go up to win though,
43:21
Speaker 1: and figure that out at some point, you know, at
43:23
Speaker 1: some point that's what it is. There's a lot of
43:25
Speaker 1: a lot of times you are a lot of teams
43:27
Speaker 1: you gotta go at some point, you gotta go to
43:29
Speaker 1: Houston and beat the Texas. Yeah, that's that's another place. Um.
43:34
Speaker 1: What you got on TV today Jaguar's Access Josh Allen,
43:37
Speaker 1: Okay Good and Brett Martineau, and we're gonna look at
43:42
Speaker 1: a pretty neat play in the film room. And if
43:45
Speaker 1: you remember Evan Ingram's touchdown against Detroit, it was I
43:50
Speaker 1: think a second and three from the three. And there's
43:54
Speaker 1: all every team has the short yardage plays, two point plays, height,
44:00
Speaker 1: goal line, red zone, whatever you wanna call it. Plays
44:03
Speaker 1: that are designed for that that quick hitter, you know,
44:08
Speaker 1: And with the Detroit lines playing a ton of man,
44:11
Speaker 1: there's something that happens there. It's kind of similar to
44:13
Speaker 1: a basketball like a pick play, but in football you
44:16
Speaker 1: call it a rub and there's a there's a certain
44:19
Speaker 1: way that you go about it, in a certain way
44:21
Speaker 1: that you execute it. And we have offensive coordinated Press
44:24
Speaker 1: Taylor in the film room to talk about the Evan
44:26
Speaker 1: Ingram touchdown and how Christian Kirk's role played a big
44:31
Speaker 1: factor in that touchdown. Defensive players would still call it
44:34
Speaker 1: a pick. The offensive guys call it the rub play, right,
44:38
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I'm
44:40
Speaker 1: a defensive guy. I call it either way. It worked
44:43
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. Yeah, it worked out pretty good. We
44:46
Speaker 1: look forward to that. It's good. It's a good play.
44:48
Speaker 1: It's I mean, it's it's pretty simple, but when people
44:51
Speaker 1: see it explained, it's good. String Sports Rory Springfields Tonight Logs.
