Speaker 1: Welcome to The Doug Peterson Show, brought to you by
0:05
Speaker 1: the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. J
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. Welcome into The Doug Peterson Show, presented by
0:21
Speaker 1: the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. J. P. Shadrick,
0:25
Speaker 1: Jeff Lagoman. No Doug Peterson this week. Training camp is
0:28
Speaker 1: raging us the night before the game. We've got plenty
0:31
Speaker 1: of Doug Peterson on this show, though from a couple
0:34
Speaker 1: of different availabilities this week as he prepares for preseason
0:39
Speaker 1: Week one, the Jaguars second game. Of course, the Jags
0:42
Speaker 1: lost to the Raiders in the Hall of Fame Game
0:44
Speaker 1: last Thursday, and now it's back home for two weeks
0:47
Speaker 1: in a row to face the Browns this week, the
0:48
Speaker 1: Steelers next, they'll wrap up the preseason with the Atlanta Falcons.
0:52
Speaker 1: After a couple of practices up there, Logs, Good afternoon,
0:56
Speaker 1: and and here we are about to open t I
0:59
Speaker 1: a bank field it and the starters will play a
1:02
Speaker 1: little bit tomorrow. I'm excited about that. I'm excited about
1:05
Speaker 1: seeing a bunch of different guys, you know from h
1:08
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and then his band of new weapons that
1:11
Speaker 1: he's got Travis E. T N. Can he provide that
1:15
Speaker 1: lightning bold in the backfield that will compliment James Robinson
1:19
Speaker 1: skill set once they all get back out on the
1:22
Speaker 1: field together. Defensively, will this improved linebacking corps show its dominance?
1:29
Speaker 1: Will they take the next step, so to speak, in
1:31
Speaker 1: the back end of the secondary with a young group?
1:34
Speaker 1: Can they stop the run? They didn't do a very
1:36
Speaker 1: good job against the Raiders. And offensively, can they run
1:39
Speaker 1: the ball? You know that they didn't run the ball
1:41
Speaker 1: very well against the Raiders. So there's a lot of
1:43
Speaker 1: a lot of things to see. And I'm glad that
1:45
Speaker 1: the starters are playing because I'm a believer and that
1:48
Speaker 1: you you play to get better. Doug Peterson making that
1:51
Speaker 1: announcement earlier this week. Yeah, this week, this week, I'm
1:55
Speaker 1: gonna let the starters play, um, you know, get their
1:57
Speaker 1: feet wet a little bit in this football game. A
1:58
Speaker 1: couple of series, nothing too nothing too crazy, nothing too long,
2:02
Speaker 1: but just want to get him the feel of the
2:03
Speaker 1: game and and get him in there and uh get
2:06
Speaker 1: him working you know in in game game situations, is
2:09
Speaker 1: that Trevor and riparts is development in the offense to
2:13
Speaker 1: get well for him, it's important, but also for the offense, right,
2:16
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's a new scheme, got new new faces,
2:19
Speaker 1: new people out there that he's working with, and you know,
2:21
Speaker 1: new center. So just just you know, uh seeing all
2:25
Speaker 1: of it put together, you know, and and you just
2:27
Speaker 1: want to have some some crisp plays, some good execution
2:30
Speaker 1: and um, you know, try to score, try to score
2:33
Speaker 1: a few points and get him out. Well, what do
2:35
Speaker 1: you think after you hear Doug Peterson say that, you know,
2:38
Speaker 1: have some execution, score a few points, get him out.
2:41
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound like a three and out and don't
2:44
Speaker 1: go back. I think if the game's circumstances warned, you're
2:47
Speaker 1: out there for a couple of three drives even right. Yeah,
2:50
Speaker 1: the but but that clip was edited. He had a
2:54
Speaker 1: little fun with the media on that answer, okay, because
2:57
Speaker 1: he was asked the question, hey, Doug, you know if
2:59
Speaker 1: you made it termination on if the starters are gonna
3:01
Speaker 1: play in that game, and he says, yep, I have
3:05
Speaker 1: how long, and you know, he's kind of joking with yes,
3:09
Speaker 1: I haven't, kind of acted like he wasn't gonna share
3:11
Speaker 1: the answer, and then he and then he gave the answer.
3:14
Speaker 1: But yeah, look, I'm I'm excited that he that they're playing,
3:18
Speaker 1: because I think you gotta play your guys, especially when
3:21
Speaker 1: you have a lot of new you know, new new
3:23
Speaker 1: new staff, new mechanics of the staff, you got new players,
3:28
Speaker 1: you got a young quarterback, and you get better by playing.
3:32
Speaker 1: And so I'm glad that they're playing. Now, how much
3:34
Speaker 1: do they play? You know, he said, you know, series
3:37
Speaker 1: or two, and so what that means is how does
3:41
Speaker 1: the first series go? If the first series is six, seven,
3:45
Speaker 1: eight plays and it results in a touchdown, okay, that
3:49
Speaker 1: might be enough. And if it's a three and out
3:53
Speaker 1: or four and out or five and out, they're probably
3:55
Speaker 1: gonna go back for another series. And defensively probably something similar,
4:02
Speaker 1: you know. All right, if they get a couple of
4:04
Speaker 1: good series of good stops, then they'll be done. But
4:07
Speaker 1: if they give up ten play dry that results in
4:11
Speaker 1: a touchdown, could they end up going back for another drive?
4:14
Speaker 1: They might, They might, you know, but in a perfect world,
4:18
Speaker 1: you'd like to have the defense to get a couple stops,
4:21
Speaker 1: no points and you know ten plays, you know, eleven plays,
4:26
Speaker 1: twelve plays somewhere there, and then get him out. And
4:28
Speaker 1: another part of that we we heard from Doug Peterson
4:30
Speaker 1: is yes, some execution, have some um some clearity in
4:35
Speaker 1: the offense and get in out of the huddle properly
4:38
Speaker 1: and and move the ball down the field. And a
4:41
Speaker 1: lot of that is the quarterback Trevor Lawrence in the
4:43
Speaker 1: communication to him in the huddle. It's his first time
4:46
Speaker 1: out in this preseason in a live game. I thought
4:48
Speaker 1: that last year Tvor Trevor handled the offense without the
4:53
Speaker 1: flaws for a rookie exceptionally well, you know, the delay
4:57
Speaker 1: of games, the false start penalties. We didn't see a
5:01
Speaker 1: lot of that, not as much as you would normally
5:04
Speaker 1: see out of a rookie. Now early in the season,
5:07
Speaker 1: especially down in Houston, the defensive side of the ball
5:11
Speaker 1: was total chaos and confusion, like what are you doing?
5:16
Speaker 1: I can't get guys in and out on field and
5:18
Speaker 1: trying to do substitutes forgot about that. It was the
5:23
Speaker 1: most it was by far, the most disorganized regular season
5:29
Speaker 1: game that I've ever seen out of the Jaguars by far,
5:34
Speaker 1: and uh they got better. But up in the boothers
5:38
Speaker 1: sitting there going what are we doing? Special teams was
5:42
Speaker 1: was confused, and defense was confused. The only thing that
5:46
Speaker 1: seemed to have any semblance of being organized was offense.
5:49
Speaker 1: But anyway, I'm looking forward to a Doug Peterson coach
5:54
Speaker 1: team this year because I believe that Doug has had
5:58
Speaker 1: a big impact on this football team. You know, the
6:02
Speaker 1: from the organization of things, the way that this team
6:06
Speaker 1: is prepared, the awareness, I like all of that. Well,
6:10
Speaker 1: he made it a point obviously when he first came
6:12
Speaker 1: in here, you got to regain the trust of the team,
6:16
Speaker 1: the players, the organization after everything that had happened. Basically
6:20
Speaker 1: that it's not it doesn't have to be like that.
6:23
Speaker 1: This is the NFL, and this is the way that
6:25
Speaker 1: I've won in the NFL, and I've got a skin
6:28
Speaker 1: on the wall to prove it. And this is how
6:30
Speaker 1: we're organizing this thing. And it started when he walked
6:33
Speaker 1: in the door. This is the schedule the whole offseason,
6:36
Speaker 1: this is the schedule going into training camp. It was
6:38
Speaker 1: all done so they didn't have to worry about timing
6:41
Speaker 1: and things. Focus on your job and that's playing. He's
6:44
Speaker 1: got a plan. Yes, good coaches have a plan. They
6:48
Speaker 1: have a way to attack things. And that's that's exactly
6:50
Speaker 1: what you want. And I appreciate a coach that can
6:55
Speaker 1: be demanding without the pound the desk yell at you
7:00
Speaker 1: in your face. Uh for me, that never worked. I
7:04
Speaker 1: wanted a guy that was demanding. But look, just tell
7:06
Speaker 1: me what the expectations are. Demanding type of guy, because
7:11
Speaker 1: I'll do my best to meet the expectations or what
7:15
Speaker 1: you're wanting from me or from us as a group,
7:18
Speaker 1: and I'll help guide that group, you know. And that's
7:21
Speaker 1: what I appreciate about Doug. When we return, Doug Peterson's
7:25
Speaker 1: philosophy of live periods and practice, it's been a topic
7:30
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville this week. After this past Sunday, We're off
7:34
Speaker 1: and running against the Doug Peterson Show. I'm the Jaguars
7:37
Speaker 1: Radio Network. Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
7:47
Speaker 1: So let's first play um. And he was on the
7:49
Speaker 1: sidelines sin so I know, ma eye contact, so it
7:52
Speaker 1: wasn't seat but uh, you know, it's it's good work.
7:54
Speaker 1: They'll get to get that live work. I was. I
7:56
Speaker 1: was glad that coach said, we all go um and
7:59
Speaker 1: I mean Travis good. Uh No, I really didn't think
8:02
Speaker 1: I hit him that are It was the reaction from
8:04
Speaker 1: like race and everything, like yeah, I was like hitting
8:06
Speaker 1: my dad and it was like, yeah, you hitting my dad,
8:09
Speaker 1: and I thought of it was it was decent. I
8:11
Speaker 1: feel too bad though. That's Andre Cisco Jaguar's safety. Earlier
8:17
Speaker 1: this week, after a Sunday live period or to practice,
8:21
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Doug Peterson Show, presented by the
8:23
Speaker 1: Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. J P.
8:26
Speaker 1: Shadrick with Jeff Lockham. Will hear plenty from head coach
8:30
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson coming up. Yeah, So the Jags played Thursday off, Friday, Saturday,
8:35
Speaker 1: back at it Sunday in full pads and apparently a
8:40
Speaker 1: few live tackling periods, at least two of them. And
8:43
Speaker 1: it started with the guy you just heard Andre Cisco
8:48
Speaker 1: hitting Travis et n Jr. Hard hit on the first
8:51
Speaker 1: play of that team period and it was we we
8:55
Speaker 1: heard that, I think all the way in the Charlotte
8:57
Speaker 1: Airport as we were delayed three times, that how hard
9:00
Speaker 1: a hit that was. And you saw it on the
9:01
Speaker 1: late three times. Huh, yeah, that's part of it. Fun stuff.
9:04
Speaker 1: At least we got home. Um, so what about on tape?
9:08
Speaker 1: What did it look like to you? It looked like
9:10
Speaker 1: Cisco actually backed off a little bit and he could
9:15
Speaker 1: have made it real bad. And Travis c. T N
9:18
Speaker 1: needs to have a little awere and say, look, you
9:20
Speaker 1: know it's live and uh, protect yourself a little bit,
9:24
Speaker 1: step out of bounds and you don't take that hit.
9:26
Speaker 1: And that's something that he's got to learn at the
9:29
Speaker 1: National Football League level. You gotta you gotta take care
9:31
Speaker 1: of your body and no, no, when to take a
9:34
Speaker 1: hit and when not to take a hit. And when
9:36
Speaker 1: you're on the boundary, that is not the time to
9:39
Speaker 1: take a hit, especially in practice. Get out of bounds.
9:43
Speaker 1: And e t N took another hit from Trey Herndon
9:48
Speaker 1: and that wasn't very good either, but he said, you know,
9:51
Speaker 1: he wanted to take the hits. And look, I thought
9:55
Speaker 1: the whole idea of playing running back was to try
9:57
Speaker 1: not to get hit, avoid people, and outrun them. You know,
10:00
Speaker 1: it's been a while since I played the position, going
10:02
Speaker 1: all the way back to my time with the with
10:05
Speaker 1: the Braves and the Lions back in Little League and
10:08
Speaker 1: lower loud and little league football. But yeah, that that
10:13
Speaker 1: doesn't change JP or not. You're you're trying not to
10:16
Speaker 1: get hit, but he got whacked. Yeah, he's not exactly
10:20
Speaker 1: Brandon Jacobs. Last I checked either two pounds or Derrick
10:24
Speaker 1: Henry or any of those guys, right, I mean Travis
10:27
Speaker 1: e t N. Yeah. E t N is not small. Yeah,
10:31
Speaker 1: but he's not like Mike alstot To. Yeah, but I
10:37
Speaker 1: mean he's compact. I mean he's look, he's uh. In fact,
10:42
Speaker 1: it was interesting in that Trevor was asked a question
10:44
Speaker 1: about now, were you concerned with Travis taking a hit
10:48
Speaker 1: and and he said that, Look, I've been around Travis
10:54
Speaker 1: for many years at Clemson. He goes, I never I
10:57
Speaker 1: never saw Travis get her, he said. So I'm used
11:03
Speaker 1: to him bouncing back up and getting back in the
11:06
Speaker 1: huddle and getting ready to play again. He goes, So
11:09
Speaker 1: he was what I saw last year with his foot injury.
11:11
Speaker 1: He goes, that's I never saw him hurt. That was
11:13
Speaker 1: the first time. I mean, it's good to see and
11:16
Speaker 1: it's it's good to see that he's, you know, excited
11:18
Speaker 1: about taking a hit and he's not bashfulos. It's good stuff.
11:21
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a good football players. Yes, I believe
11:23
Speaker 1: so too. Let's hear from Doug Peterson on that philosophy
11:27
Speaker 1: of those live periods. There aren't many in training camp,
11:30
Speaker 1: but they're important to it. It's just the way the
11:35
Speaker 1: schedule and the way I set training camp up. I mean,
11:37
Speaker 1: you know, we followed the plan. We follow the schedule. Um,
11:40
Speaker 1: the way it is. Well, next week would be the
11:42
Speaker 1: same thing. We have a couple of hard, long practices
11:44
Speaker 1: next week as well, you know, because we don't have
11:46
Speaker 1: pads on that much, and and I want to make
11:49
Speaker 1: sure that we maximize those days and we're getting the
11:51
Speaker 1: most out of it. And you know, um, again, the
11:54
Speaker 1: guys are the guys are doing excellent job. Those two
11:56
Speaker 1: practices were great. We got good work in Um, not perfect,
12:00
Speaker 1: you know, we make the corrections, but but it was good.
12:04
Speaker 1: You have it. That makes sense, right, You only get
12:06
Speaker 1: a limited number of padded practices. And you know what,
12:10
Speaker 1: three games with the starters in there. You didn't play
12:13
Speaker 1: the starter as much at least on offense the defensive
12:16
Speaker 1: guys out there. But you only have limited time. You say,
12:19
Speaker 1: three games with the starters that may not even be
12:22
Speaker 1: It might be too. It might be too. You know,
12:25
Speaker 1: a lot of coaches are choosing to play the starters
12:29
Speaker 1: only in one and I mean I think there's Belichick
12:32
Speaker 1: doesn't play them. I don't think at all anymore. It's
12:35
Speaker 1: it's interesting how there's so many different I guess you
12:38
Speaker 1: could say formulas that coaches have for preparing for the
12:42
Speaker 1: opener now and uh, going back to win you know,
12:47
Speaker 1: the older days when you had four preseason games, I mean,
12:50
Speaker 1: there was always kind of a typical way to get
12:53
Speaker 1: ready for the season. The first preseason game you played
12:56
Speaker 1: a series maybe two. Second preseason game game you would
13:00
Speaker 1: play maybe close to the half. The third was always
13:05
Speaker 1: kind of the big dress rehearsal, so you would play
13:08
Speaker 1: the first half and then go in at halftime and
13:10
Speaker 1: come back out and play a series in the second
13:13
Speaker 1: half just to get used to the halftime. And then
13:17
Speaker 1: the fourth preseason game you might play a series or
13:20
Speaker 1: two and then you're out. You know, that was kind
13:23
Speaker 1: of the mindset for many years. And then with salary
13:26
Speaker 1: cap and money and smart people, Okay, that's stuff changed dramatically,
13:32
Speaker 1: and preseason has been cut down and it's I think
13:35
Speaker 1: more of the way that it should have been. A
13:37
Speaker 1: long time ago, the collective collectively bargained allowable practices. The
13:42
Speaker 1: amount of time that the players are allowed to be
13:45
Speaker 1: in the building during training camp is all of that
13:48
Speaker 1: stuff is very well documented in in the rule book,
13:52
Speaker 1: and you have to abide by that or you get
13:56
Speaker 1: fined or lose draft picks. And nobody wants to lose
14:00
Speaker 1: lose money. So it's so Doug is smart. And when
14:03
Speaker 1: he talks about maximizing the days and pads, I think
14:06
Speaker 1: that's critically important because if you don't, you've lost an
14:11
Speaker 1: opportunity to get better. With a young football team and
14:15
Speaker 1: a football team that has a lot of new components,
14:18
Speaker 1: the only way to get better at truly at football
14:21
Speaker 1: is to play football, right, not push people around in underwear. Well,
14:24
Speaker 1: there's a there's a point of diminishing returns. You know,
14:28
Speaker 1: if you did you ever take an economics class at Alabama,
14:32
Speaker 1: I can't remember they even offer an economics class. Might
14:36
Speaker 1: have gone, but I don't remember that either. It's it's
14:39
Speaker 1: it's called the point of diminishing returns. It's like, for example,
14:43
Speaker 1: when you go to an ice cream shop, you know,
14:45
Speaker 1: and you get one scoop man. That scoop is awesome.
14:48
Speaker 1: You know, it's the curve is going, it's shooting high steep, right,
14:53
Speaker 1: we're going to the top. Okay. The second one is like,
14:55
Speaker 1: you know, starting to get It's still good turns not
15:00
Speaker 1: as good as the first one. It's start to get heavy.
15:03
Speaker 1: But okay, the third one, third one. Pay for this.
15:08
Speaker 1: So now your cur your curve is starting to instead
15:12
Speaker 1: of be vertical, it's starting to flatten out a little bit.
15:15
Speaker 1: That's that's the point of diminishing returns. And so padded
15:18
Speaker 1: practices are very similar in that you get you gain
15:21
Speaker 1: great benefit with the early ones, and you still gain
15:25
Speaker 1: benefit for more. But then when you start to be
15:30
Speaker 1: what koughlin esque really fresh on your mind two days
15:37
Speaker 1: why I joked around with him and can't about that
15:40
Speaker 1: was a matter of fact aboute like I heard this conversation.
15:43
Speaker 1: The body starts to get worn down, the psyche starts
15:46
Speaker 1: to get worn down. Players become hardened, which can be
15:49
Speaker 1: a good thing, but you don't get as much benefit.
15:53
Speaker 1: So Doug has taken advantage of But yeah, by the way,
15:55
Speaker 1: I did, I did joke around with kauflin uh a
16:00
Speaker 1: little bit at Tony's induction stuff there, and I told him.
16:04
Speaker 1: I said, said, you know what I remember about last
16:07
Speaker 1: time we were here at Canton. Tom. He said, what's that?
16:11
Speaker 1: I said, I felt like my shoes, my cleats were
16:13
Speaker 1: about five pounds apiece. See what do you mean? I said,
16:17
Speaker 1: don't you remember we had a full padded practice in
16:21
Speaker 1: Stevens Point before we got on the plane to come
16:24
Speaker 1: to Canton. I said, I will never forget when I
16:26
Speaker 1: watched the game film, I said, that's the worst game
16:28
Speaker 1: film I ever had. Tom, I said, I couldn't move.
16:32
Speaker 1: You'd worn us out. What are you talking about? He's great.
16:39
Speaker 1: It was great to see him, by the way, and uh,
16:42
Speaker 1: I look forward to the to the day that he
16:44
Speaker 1: goes into Hall of Fame. Let's come back in a moment.
16:46
Speaker 1: There are social media questions to be answered, lugs and
16:50
Speaker 1: plenty of submissions today. All right, we will get to
16:53
Speaker 1: that when we return. It's the Doug Peterson Show on

Speaker 1: answer some social questions? I'm ready. We put the bat
17:31
Speaker 1: signal out earlier today. Signal. Here's the best we can
17:35
Speaker 1: the cat signal. I see where you're going with that.
17:38
Speaker 1: I think that makes a lot more sense. In fact,
17:41
Speaker 1: question number one off social media today from Att Keith Shoe.
17:46
Speaker 1: Will the Jaguars have a thousand yard receiver and a
17:50
Speaker 1: thousand yard running back this season? I think they'll have
17:53
Speaker 1: a thousand yard receiver and I think that will be
17:55
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk. I think he's gonna gonna get a ton
17:58
Speaker 1: of completions his way. I don't think they're gonna have
18:02
Speaker 1: a thousand yard running back, and it's not because the
18:05
Speaker 1: performance is not gonna be there, but I think the
18:08
Speaker 1: amount of time that's gonna get shared between James Robinson
18:12
Speaker 1: and the Travis E. T N I think they'll be
18:14
Speaker 1: both close to that. You know that seven hundred and
18:18
Speaker 1: fifty to eight hundred yards apiece with Travis E. T
18:21
Speaker 1: N having a lot of yardage in the receiving category.
18:24
Speaker 1: But I if I had to say, I don't think
18:28
Speaker 1: that they will get a thousand yard rusher just because
18:32
Speaker 1: of the way the carriers are divided up. I know
18:34
Speaker 1: they just added one game to the schedule starting this
18:38
Speaker 1: past season, but is it still that big of a
18:40
Speaker 1: deal to have a thousand yard threshold? I mean, it's
18:44
Speaker 1: not anymore. I mean it's it's especially the way the
18:47
Speaker 1: game has changed, because I mean, heck, if you if
18:52
Speaker 1: you look at the receiver with the Minnesota Vikings, young
18:55
Speaker 1: player from l s U, great player. Um, he's taught
19:00
Speaker 1: talking about hitting two thousand yards, which which is reachable. Jefferson, Jefferson,
19:07
Speaker 1: thank you. He's talking about hitting two thousand yards this year.
19:11
Speaker 1: He has openly talked about that. So if that's the case,
19:15
Speaker 1: which the two thousand yards receiving has never been done,
19:19
Speaker 1: it's just been close. That close, I mean real close.
19:23
Speaker 1: But could a Cooper Cup, you know, hit two thousand
19:26
Speaker 1: he might, But if the elbow of Matt Stafford doesn't
19:29
Speaker 1: get any better in hurry, he's not hitting it either.
19:33
Speaker 1: Question number two off social media today on Twitter, what
19:36
Speaker 1: do you got? This is at John C. Do you
19:39
Speaker 1: think Jay rob will be ready to go for Week
19:41
Speaker 1: one in Washington. If not, how do you feel about
19:44
Speaker 1: Stoop Connor's ability to fill the role Jay rob has
19:47
Speaker 1: in the Jags offense? Of course, it was James Robinson.
19:51
Speaker 1: There's Travis C. T n Jr. There's Snoop Connor, the
19:53
Speaker 1: draft pick Quell Armstead is around. Those are the big
19:57
Speaker 1: four names, and there's some other guys still in the roster.
20:00
Speaker 1: Mackay Sergeant Matt Colburn is on the roster right now.
20:03
Speaker 1: Those are your running Yeah, but that's not the question.
20:05
Speaker 1: The question is will j Robbie ready for the Commanders.
20:08
Speaker 1: Let's start with that one, Okay. I think that's a
20:13
Speaker 1: if he does. I mean, wow, what a what an
20:15
Speaker 1: amazing job of getting back from an achilles injury that
20:19
Speaker 1: he missed the last two games of the season from.
20:23
Speaker 1: Could he be back? He could be. I kind of
20:26
Speaker 1: predicted that October and of October, first part of November,
20:31
Speaker 1: but man, he's he has gotten so much better in
20:36
Speaker 1: the short amount of time that he's been at practice.
20:40
Speaker 1: I don't think it's too far out of reach to
20:43
Speaker 1: be ready for opening weekend. So I don't know. I
20:47
Speaker 1: think that's a that's I know, it's not a great answer.
20:50
Speaker 1: If I had to predict, I would say no, just
20:52
Speaker 1: because I want to give him plenty of time. That's
20:54
Speaker 1: just me speaking here. Well, I want him to have
20:56
Speaker 1: plenty time to be back. If there's any question in
21:00
Speaker 1: at all, then you hold him back right, yes, up,
21:04
Speaker 1: m or whatever you do. No, Well, you don't have
21:06
Speaker 1: to pu pum. You can just inactivate him, you know,
21:09
Speaker 1: because typically you go into the opening week not having
21:12
Speaker 1: a lot of injured guys when you have those tough decisions.
21:15
Speaker 1: So you could just say, hey, look, you know we're
21:16
Speaker 1: gonna you know, just have him inactive for a week
21:19
Speaker 1: or two, you know. And and but I don't know.
21:21
Speaker 1: I mean, look, uh, the way they're starting to increase
21:25
Speaker 1: his snaps and his partition participation, it makes me think
21:31
Speaker 1: that they're looking for him to be ready week one.
21:34
Speaker 1: I mean because now you're starting to insert him into
21:36
Speaker 1: team drills right a little bit, So yeah, he could
21:40
Speaker 1: be out there. And what do I think of Snoop
21:42
Speaker 1: Connor if all of a a sudden, Jay Rob is not ready.
21:44
Speaker 1: I can tell you that I got to see more.
21:47
Speaker 1: You know, the numbers weren't great from the preseason Hall
21:51
Speaker 1: of Fame game last week in Canton for for Snoop Connor.
21:55
Speaker 1: He's a one cut downhill guy. I want to see
21:59
Speaker 1: if he can get a crease and then get that
22:01
Speaker 1: big body moving downhill. And I know you mentioned rock Armstead.
22:06
Speaker 1: Rock Armstain has got to make some people miss before
22:09
Speaker 1: he gets going, and he's not doing that yet. Question
22:13
Speaker 1: number three off social media Twitter at cf Zeller's four.
22:20
Speaker 1: What is your Jaguars Division record wins and losses when
22:24
Speaker 1: it's all said and done? And how do you see
22:26
Speaker 1: those matchups playing out? Well, log as, we know that
22:30
Speaker 1: the Jags always get the Colts number here in Jacksonville,
22:33
Speaker 1: So that's one. What else? So when we we we
22:37
Speaker 1: got a you know, the perfect world would be what
22:41
Speaker 1: six and oh right, because you've got three opponents, you know, uh,
22:44
Speaker 1: two games with each opponent six that will be the best,
22:48
Speaker 1: oh six being the worst. Let me just just giving classes,
22:53
Speaker 1: giving numbers. A lot of people don't realize what the
22:55
Speaker 1: numbers are. Just telling you I've been five hundred. Look,
22:59
Speaker 1: I'm looking for this team to take take a step.
23:03
Speaker 1: I think I think they beat everybody. Well, okay, once
23:07
Speaker 1: they're gonna beat each team once. Yeah, I mean that's
23:10
Speaker 1: three and three. Yeah, what's wrong with that? Nothing. I'm
23:12
Speaker 1: just saying, obviously Tennessee being the toughest to beat because
23:16
Speaker 1: they're the best team. It's been a while since they've
23:18
Speaker 1: went up there, so you kind of got him to
23:19
Speaker 1: win the game. Here. Texans have Connor in the same
23:23
Speaker 1: boat as the Jaguars. They're trying to rebuild a franchise
23:25
Speaker 1: and well, look they don't. Look, we thought they had
23:27
Speaker 1: problems last year. We showed them, didn't we. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
23:32
Speaker 1: we really We really took that dumpster fire of a
23:34
Speaker 1: football team to task, didn't we. Yes, we did. So.
23:39
Speaker 1: I look, then they've got a young quarterback who played
23:42
Speaker 1: very well last year, and nobody wants to give any
23:45
Speaker 1: respect to the Texans, and you know, you just watch out.
23:50
Speaker 1: I mean they'll they'll sneak up on you. The Indianapolis
23:54
Speaker 1: Colts got a Matt Ryan, which you know, I've never
23:57
Speaker 1: thought he was a big time franchise guy, and this
24:01
Speaker 1: is just a temporary guy untill they can find a
24:05
Speaker 1: long term solution at that position. But that's a that's
24:08
Speaker 1: a team that's got a that's got some talent. How
24:12
Speaker 1: will Shaquille Leonard? Is that what he's getting unch his
24:16
Speaker 1: name right, Darius Leonard changed it to something that Shaquille.
24:18
Speaker 1: I think it's Shaquille Leonard. So he had back surgery.
24:22
Speaker 1: He's out. That was a huge that's a huge cog
24:25
Speaker 1: to their defense. And he's an All Pro guy. But
24:29
Speaker 1: the cults are gonna be pretty good. Yeah, I mean
24:30
Speaker 1: I think five. Let's get one more in for the
24:34
Speaker 1: break social media question powered by Microsoft from at Tommy
24:41
Speaker 1: Boy in Florida or in f L A kicking game,
24:45
Speaker 1: where do we stand? I think? Let me let me
24:49
Speaker 1: there's a lot of areas. I mean, you've got the
24:50
Speaker 1: four core special teams, kickoff, kickoff coverage or kickoff kickoff return, punt,
24:56
Speaker 1: punt return, and then the field goal game, et cetera.
25:00
Speaker 1: Your putter's outstanding. I mean, Logan Cook was the m
25:03
Speaker 1: v P of the Hall of Fame game for the Jaguars. Awesome.
25:07
Speaker 1: His punts were like mid season form, all pro level.
25:11
Speaker 1: Ross Madisick the long snapper, solid, good, good snapper. Jamal
25:16
Speaker 1: Agnew we know what he can do. He did, but yes,
25:19
Speaker 1: he didn't play, but we feel good about him. Right,
25:22
Speaker 1: He's proven it. Yes, Um had the hip injury last year.
25:26
Speaker 1: Miss six games. Is he gonna be back from that?
25:28
Speaker 1: It looks like he's on his way. The kicking game
25:32
Speaker 1: is a huge question, huge question. What will the kicker
25:37
Speaker 1: situation be. You've got two guys battling it out, but
25:40
Speaker 1: the reality is there's more than two battling it out.
25:43
Speaker 1: What do you mean by that? Jaguars will be looking
25:45
Speaker 1: around the league and scouring the waiver wire for every
25:48
Speaker 1: kicker that's available. So even though these two guys may
25:51
Speaker 1: feel like they're competing against one another in camp, they're
25:54
Speaker 1: competing against any other kicker that becomes available. That's a fact,
25:59
Speaker 1: that's the reality. So that's going to be something to
26:03
Speaker 1: watch closely because the kicker for this team may not
26:06
Speaker 1: be on the roster yet. And I'm sure there's a
26:09
Speaker 1: or two or three somewhere in the league. Pick a
26:12
Speaker 1: number that has multiple kickers that can kick. In the NFL,
26:17
Speaker 1: they'd have to cut one of the ends. Yes, So
26:20
Speaker 1: that might be a waiver wire, could be could be
26:23
Speaker 1: or could be a trade. You know, if a team
26:26
Speaker 1: has two kickers and they know it, and this team
26:29
Speaker 1: is you know, on field goal percentage in the preseason
26:33
Speaker 1: with both their guys, and look, you may have to
26:36
Speaker 1: give up a resource, which is a draft pick or
26:39
Speaker 1: player or whatever, or one of these guys could step
26:42
Speaker 1: up and start making all their kicks. I'm all for
26:45
Speaker 1: and be great. Undirectional kickoffs above, I'm all for it,
26:49
Speaker 1: and that's that'd be great too. But the one thing
26:51
Speaker 1: that I'm feeling really good about I can't wait is
26:55
Speaker 1: the is the coverage teams really And the reason I
26:59
Speaker 1: say that is that typically your faster, smaller guys are
27:05
Speaker 1: the core of your special teams. You know, your your
27:07
Speaker 1: fast linebackers, your safety's, your backup corners. And there are
27:12
Speaker 1: some guys that I'm extremely excited about it. Rudy ford
27:15
Speaker 1: Is is a Pro Bowl caliber special teams player and
27:20
Speaker 1: he was awesome in the Hall of Fame game. Andrew uh,
27:24
Speaker 1: excuse me. Daniel Thomas is a guy that I think
27:27
Speaker 1: is awesome on special teams, highly productive, He's got speed.
27:32
Speaker 1: We know about winger Winger it is last year was
27:35
Speaker 1: a starter. He's not going to be a starter this year.
27:38
Speaker 1: Now he's gonna go back and contribute on special teams.
27:41
Speaker 1: And he is a really good special teams player. And
27:44
Speaker 1: you've got some speed with the with some of the corners,
27:47
Speaker 1: some of these backup corners. So I'm excited about the
27:50
Speaker 1: coverage units of the special teams. Now there's some linebackers
27:53
Speaker 1: that got a step up. And when I say linebackers,
27:56
Speaker 1: that's a big question mark because I don't know about
28:00
Speaker 1: the depth there. Thank you for the submissions on social
28:03
Speaker 1: media with your questions. We're back with plenty more ahead.
28:07
Speaker 1: It's the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
28:22
Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now. I've
28:28
Speaker 1: seen someone that's kind of growing into a leadership role,
28:31
Speaker 1: someone who's really developing his his craft, honing his skill.
28:36
Speaker 1: He's playing with confidence, um, and those are all things
28:39
Speaker 1: that we need to continue to to to nurture in him.
28:41
Speaker 1: He's a young player. He's had a really good camp. Um.
28:45
Speaker 1: You know, it was really good to see in the
28:46
Speaker 1: in the Raider game. You know, he got nicked up
28:48
Speaker 1: there early in the game and then wanted to go
28:50
Speaker 1: back and um, so confidently, you know, put him back
28:55
Speaker 1: in the football game where he he can kind of
28:57
Speaker 1: work through that. And those are the things you're starting
28:59
Speaker 1: to see with him and how he's developing himself and
29:02
Speaker 1: and and turning into a leader on that defense. I
29:05
Speaker 1: said coach Doug Peterson on Jaguar's second year cornerback Tyson Campbell,
29:10
Speaker 1: and welcome back to the Doug Peterson Show, presented by
29:13
Speaker 1: the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles JP
29:16
Speaker 1: Shadrick with Jeff Lockman. Well, this is at least a
29:21
Speaker 1: big name secondary, right, I mean, you've got Shaq Griffin,
29:25
Speaker 1: big free agent contract entering last season, Darius Williams free
29:30
Speaker 1: agent coming in this year after a Super Bowl win.
29:33
Speaker 1: Let me just make a comment on each one you're
29:35
Speaker 1: talking about real quick, okay, Because we started with Shack
29:37
Speaker 1: Okay needs the improve needs to catch the ball, sure, Okay,
29:41
Speaker 1: needs to be able to make plays on the ball.
29:44
Speaker 1: If you want to be who we wanted to see
29:49
Speaker 1: that next we thought they are who we thought that
29:54
Speaker 1: kind of term. And then Darius Williams we haven't seen yet,
29:58
Speaker 1: so I don't really know much about him. And then
30:01
Speaker 1: with the two young players, Tyson and Cisco, you're you're
30:05
Speaker 1: excited about him because you're seeing some things. You know,
30:08
Speaker 1: when you start to see evidence with your own eyes,
30:10
Speaker 1: you know, the old the old eye test, okay, and
30:13
Speaker 1: and they're passing the eye test. Then that's where you
30:17
Speaker 1: want to be. Shack. Shack still got I mean he's
30:21
Speaker 1: I like Shack. I like his leadership, I like his energy,
30:25
Speaker 1: but he's he's got to take that next step. You'll
30:29
Speaker 1: see what happens. And then of course the safeties that
30:31
Speaker 1: brought in ray Sean Jenkins entering last season and you
30:34
Speaker 1: know had the ankle issue. The ankle, and ray Shaw
30:37
Speaker 1: is a guy that's got to take a step to
30:39
Speaker 1: now because ray Sean, if you remember last year, he
30:43
Speaker 1: hurt the defense on a couple of occasions with the
30:45
Speaker 1: personal fouls and didn't get kicked out of the game.
30:47
Speaker 1: Yes he did, and that's not where or what you're
30:50
Speaker 1: expecting out of your veteran leader at the safety position.
30:53
Speaker 1: So that that part needs to calm down and you
30:58
Speaker 1: need to continue to make you make sure that you're
31:01
Speaker 1: on a on a more even keel back there. This
31:05
Speaker 1: team had what seven interceptions last year, wasn't many. Nine
31:11
Speaker 1: total takeaways. I believe that you were minus twenty and
31:14
Speaker 1: turnover differential as a team, which was I believe was Yeah,
31:19
Speaker 1: it was dead last the National Football Yeah, I wouldn't
31:21
Speaker 1: have that. When you have to look, it wasn't like
31:24
Speaker 1: the offense turned the ball over a crazy amount. I mean,
31:28
Speaker 1: what did what did Trevor have interceptions? And the teens
31:32
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, that's not that bad. Okay. So
31:40
Speaker 1: it wasn't as if the offense just you know, was
31:44
Speaker 1: turning the ball over all over the place and the
31:46
Speaker 1: defense couldn't get enough to keep up. The defense was
31:48
Speaker 1: just it wasn't very good at taking them all away.
31:52
Speaker 1: In fact, got to catch the football and part of
31:55
Speaker 1: making that jump this year, you know, you've got a
31:58
Speaker 1: Cisco guy like that has ball skills on the field,
32:01
Speaker 1: he's got to make plays and then when shock's given
32:05
Speaker 1: the opportunity, he's got his hands on the ball. He
32:07
Speaker 1: got about four of him last year. He could have
32:10
Speaker 1: caught the week one he had one to pick six.
32:13
Speaker 1: Gotta make you gotta make those. Yeah, let's come back.
32:16
Speaker 1: We'll get into the front seven on defense. When you return.
32:19
Speaker 1: It's the Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio. Welcome back.
32:26
Speaker 1: The Doug Peterson Show continues right now. You know, on paper,
32:32
Speaker 1: we've got we've got the depth that we wanted, the
32:35
Speaker 1: depth that we need. Um you know, and that's another thing,
32:38
Speaker 1: because you're not game planning right now. So you're not
32:41
Speaker 1: game planning run schemes and run fits and formations and
32:45
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. You're just lining up and playing.
32:47
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, here in the
32:50
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks, we got that's something we'll have
32:52
Speaker 1: to figure out. You know, we gotta get better at
32:53
Speaker 1: stopping the run. Obviously, they by being the Raiders rush
32:56
Speaker 1: for almost a hundred and sixty yards on us, and
32:59
Speaker 1: you know that kind of can't happen, you know, but
33:01
Speaker 1: we've got to flip it, right, We've got to be
33:02
Speaker 1: the team that runs rushes for a hundred sixty and
33:05
Speaker 1: you know, but again it comes with time and development.
33:08
Speaker 1: These guys are learning new techniques and playing together for
33:11
Speaker 1: the first time, and um, you know, it just it
33:14
Speaker 1: just takes a little bit of time. Head coach Doug
33:17
Speaker 1: Peterson on the defensive Front seven and welcome back to
33:20
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show presented by the Florida Department of Highway
33:23
Speaker 1: Safety and Motor Vehicles. And yes, the Raiders ran for
33:26
Speaker 1: one fifty nine yards, and yes there was some what
33:31
Speaker 1: the team hopes to be major contributors in that front
33:34
Speaker 1: seven that did not play in that game, but most
33:37
Speaker 1: of them are expected to play tomorrow night against the Browns.
33:40
Speaker 1: A lot of people might want to overreact after one
33:42
Speaker 1: preseason game just because you think, well, I mean, look,
33:47
Speaker 1: the organization hasn't had a lot of success lately, and
33:50
Speaker 1: so people their first reaction is, oh, here we go again,
33:53
Speaker 1: same team, right, And Doug Peterson got it right when
33:57
Speaker 1: he said that it takes time. And when he means
34:00
Speaker 1: by it takes time, it doesn't mean that, well, you
34:03
Speaker 1: know it's gonna take a couple of years. That's not
34:04
Speaker 1: what he's means by that, and that it's gonna take
34:07
Speaker 1: time to get the foundational principles of your defense established.
34:13
Speaker 1: And then once you get the game plan okay, then
34:15
Speaker 1: you can start judging on whether something is working or not.
34:20
Speaker 1: And so when they start game planning, when they start
34:23
Speaker 1: keeping score, and that's at Washington in week one, okay,
34:27
Speaker 1: then then the test or the evaluations will be coming
34:32
Speaker 1: and they're all, do I mean, that's what what? What
34:36
Speaker 1: what it's about? So I'm with him, and I understand
34:40
Speaker 1: that they've got some things to do to get better.
34:43
Speaker 1: And it's a new scheme, it's new coaches, you've got
34:46
Speaker 1: a new lot of new players, and offensively, it will
34:49
Speaker 1: take a little bit more time than than defensively. That's
34:53
Speaker 1: just that's natural. Timing and execution is always something that
34:57
Speaker 1: comes a little bit later with an offense. It's compared
35:00
Speaker 1: to a defense where a defense, a lot of your
35:03
Speaker 1: components are plug and play. It's reactional, it's athletic players.
35:08
Speaker 1: It's not so much well, you know the mic and
35:10
Speaker 1: the defensive tackle need to have the right timing on
35:13
Speaker 1: the stunt. Well they do somewhat, but you can plug
35:16
Speaker 1: and play different guys without having to have this working
35:20
Speaker 1: relationship like you need to have between a quarterback and
35:24
Speaker 1: a slot wide receiver, or a quarterback and his outside
35:29
Speaker 1: wide receiver, or an offensive line group that's playing together
35:32
Speaker 1: that needs to to have that kind of sixth sense
35:36
Speaker 1: of where his teammate is. I mean, those things take time.
35:40
Speaker 1: Loggers will come back in a moment and review Hall
35:44
Speaker 1: of Fame week. We have not touched on that to
35:47
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about that. That was a good
35:49
Speaker 1: That was a good week. What a week it was.

36:31
Speaker 1: post game, and of course the game broadcast from Tom
36:34
Speaker 1: Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. But we were fortunate enough

Speaker 1: logs to be able to stick around for the events
36:41
Speaker 1: of Tony Boselli's and Shriman into the Pro Football Hall
36:44
Speaker 1: of Fame. And people have asked the last couple of
36:47
Speaker 1: days since we've been back and what was it like,
36:49
Speaker 1: how was it? And I've I've told to a person
36:52
Speaker 1: I think it's the most incredible sporting experience I've been
36:56
Speaker 1: involved in my life. And I've been through a lot
36:58
Speaker 1: of cool places, great game aimes, and but to be
37:01
Speaker 1: in that environment and intimate environment and the grand scheme
37:05
Speaker 1: of things with your friend and colleague going into the
37:08
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame and the people who are around it. Uh,
37:11
Speaker 1: for me, nothing tops it. It was. It was pretty amazing.
37:15
Speaker 1: And uh, first of all, a great job by Tony
37:19
Speaker 1: and how thankful, how humble he was in this whole
37:24
Speaker 1: process was amazing. And uh, I think he handled himself
37:29
Speaker 1: like a total pro. And I think that was the
37:33
Speaker 1: most joy that I've ever gotten out of watching, you know,
37:36
Speaker 1: a teammate do something and and I was very proud
37:39
Speaker 1: of him, very proud of him, happy for his family.
37:43
Speaker 1: It was so fun just to spend time with a
37:46
Speaker 1: lot of people that I haven't seen in a while,
37:49
Speaker 1: or you don't see very often, you know, old old
37:53

Speaker 1: Burnell obviously was the presenter. I sat next to Smingky
38:48
Speaker 1: during the schmngy. Yeah, it was good to see Joel
38:53
Speaker 1: and Uh, I was like, I finally get to meet
38:55

38:58
Speaker 1: I've never met him. Yeah. And then and of course
39:00

39:03
Speaker 1: Novak's wife Kim Stacy brunell Um, seeing all of the
39:08
Speaker 1: Baselli clan, Tony's mom talked with her a bunch before
39:13
Speaker 1: the the entrinement and also at the party. Of the
39:16
Speaker 1: party was an absolute ball that the Jaguars put on,
39:19
Speaker 1: and I gotta say it was first class, totally first class.
39:24
Speaker 1: And I'll get to that a little bit more in
39:26
Speaker 1: a minute. But the first night I was there, me
39:29
Speaker 1: and Tara traveled obviously because she wanted to be able
39:33
Speaker 1: to be a part of it, and it was I
39:34
Speaker 1: was excited. We kind of made a little bit of
39:36
Speaker 1: a trip out of it. First night, we go to
39:38
Speaker 1: a really nice restaurant that happened to be in Canton,
39:41
Speaker 1: and we were given some great guidance by some friends
39:44
Speaker 1: of ours and they said, you gotta go to Vendors.
39:46
Speaker 1: So we go to Vendors. Vendors has been there literally
39:48
Speaker 1: for a hundred ten years, same name, same building, same place,
39:52
Speaker 1: so a steak slash seafood kind of place. We go
39:56
Speaker 1: there and we have great dinner. After dinner, I said,
39:58
Speaker 1: I don't know that guy. It's John Randall. So I
40:02
Speaker 1: go over and introduced myself to John. You know, we
40:05
Speaker 1: played the same time, and uh and and funny because
40:09
Speaker 1: I said, hey, John, Jeff Lower means I know who
40:11
Speaker 1: you are because you had that chop swim. I used
40:13
Speaker 1: to watch that move. But I mean, it's amazing that,
40:17
Speaker 1: you know, he remembers your game and your moves. And
40:19
Speaker 1: then we got talking about other things and and then
40:23
Speaker 1: Tony and he shared something that I thought was pretty cool.
40:28
Speaker 1: He said, look, and I told him that Tony said
40:31
Speaker 1: that he was by far one of the hardest guys
40:34
Speaker 1: that he ever went went against, was him and Mike mccrarry,
40:37
Speaker 1: and he said, you know, he goes. I always wanted
40:39
Speaker 1: to go against Tony because I knew that Bruce didn't
40:42
Speaker 1: fare so well and he goes so so so, I mean,
40:46
Speaker 1: just like a defensive line and a competitive person, he
40:49
Speaker 1: wants to show that he can do better than Bruce.
40:54
Speaker 1: And uh and Tony will tell you John Randall gave
40:57
Speaker 1: him fits, but you know, talking to him was cool.
41:00
Speaker 1: Warren Moon was there, talked briefly with him, and then
41:04
Speaker 1: um the Great White Raiders wide receiver Fred Blent and
41:07
Speaker 1: the Colls visited with him for ten fifteen minutes outside
41:12
Speaker 1: the restaurant and and it was cool, man, just talking
41:15
Speaker 1: to guys like that. I know, you had so an
41:17
Speaker 1: experience with a lot of Hall of Fames. Was the
41:19
Speaker 1: end of the party Saturday night, which, by the way,
41:22
Speaker 1: I was long in bed already, and JP was he
41:26
Speaker 1: was he was a survivor. I mean, you know, I
41:29
Speaker 1: just had to make sure everybody else got home set, okay.
41:32
Speaker 1: I was just there for support, you know, I'm just
41:34
Speaker 1: trying to help others out that's what I do. I
41:36
Speaker 1: help people. So the other Hall of Famers go to
41:39
Speaker 1: these other parties and then some end up at the
41:42
Speaker 1: Boselli party at the end. So Fanako shows up, got
41:46
Speaker 1: to spend a little time. All time great Pittsburgh Steeler
41:49
Speaker 1: Marcus Allen walks into place, a couple other the older
41:52
Speaker 1: offensive Lineman guys came in all with the jackets on,
41:56
Speaker 1: and Kurt Warner was there earlier, and so it was
41:59
Speaker 1: really really That's why I say it's the best experience
42:02
Speaker 1: I've had, because it's so intimate and you're interacting with
42:04
Speaker 1: these folks and they're excited for Tony and obviously we
42:08
Speaker 1: are too. So what a weekend. Yeah, it was. It
42:10
Speaker 1: was awesome. And and I gotta say the speeches that
42:15
Speaker 1: were given by all the inductees. I want to talk
42:18
Speaker 1: about that when we get a chance, because uh, I
42:22
Speaker 1: was impressed. Let's come back. We'll touch on that in

42:27
Speaker 1: the Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio. Welcome back. The
42:38

42:43
Speaker 1: presented by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles,
42:47
Speaker 1: JP Shadrick, Jeff Flagerman Our final thoughts on Hall of
42:50
Speaker 1: Fame weekend. You were mentioning the speech. The speech, and
42:53
Speaker 1: first of all, I thought Leroy Butler was just fun
42:56
Speaker 1: and relaxed. The speech that he gave Night Young was
43:01
Speaker 1: just I mean, you talk about touching your heart about
43:04
Speaker 1: how he lost a child and how that impacted his life. Um,
43:10
Speaker 1: Sam Mills and the family of Sam Mills, what a
43:13
Speaker 1: tremendous job. And Dick Vermill got a little long winded
43:18
Speaker 1: for me, but uh and Tony did an exceptional job
43:22
Speaker 1: of recognizing a lot of the people that contributed to
43:26
Speaker 1: his path to the Hall of Fame. Art McNally the
43:29
Speaker 1: first official to go in. He had a recorded speech
43:32
Speaker 1: at the end. He said a heavy dose of common
43:35
Speaker 1: sense and his was so short and sweet like an official.
43:39
Speaker 1: But it but it was perfect. It was absolutely perfect.
43:43
Speaker 1: And he's still alive. Yes, he just couldn't travel. I
43:46
Speaker 1: guess some ill, ill health, et cetera. But awesome, awesome experience.
43:50
Speaker 1: One minute to go. So the Jaguars host the Cleveland
