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 P.
0:09
Speaker 1: Shadrick and former Jaguar Jeff Logoman discussed the latest Jaguars
0:13
Speaker 1: news with the head coach. That Doug Peterson Show starts
0:18
Speaker 1: right now. Welcome in to the Doug Peterson Show. It's
0:20
Speaker 1: week five. The Jaguars welcome in the division rival Houston
0:24
Speaker 1: Texans this Sunday, and along with Jeff Lagman and head
0:28
Speaker 1: coach Doug Peterson, here we go. It's a divisional rivalry
0:32
Speaker 1: coming up. It's a home game, It's Legends weekend. There's
0:35
Speaker 1: a lot going on here at the Bank. Coach, there's
0:37
Speaker 1: a lot happening and it's gonna be an exciting weekend. Um.
0:41
Speaker 1: You know, Houston Texans, good football team. You know when
0:44
Speaker 1: you watch these guys on tape, these guys fly around,
0:46
Speaker 1: they play hard. You know, it's unfortunate for them. They've
0:49
Speaker 1: been on the you know, the losing end of things.
0:52
Speaker 1: But you know this team, this tea you can see
0:55
Speaker 1: Lovey Smith his fingerprints all over this football team, and
0:59
Speaker 1: they play extremely hard for him and and uh, he'll
1:01
Speaker 1: have that thing turned around at no time. I know
1:03
Speaker 1: that you don't refer much to history, but the history
1:06
Speaker 1: shows that the Texans have played very well against the Jaguars,
1:09
Speaker 1: much like the Jaguars have played very well against the
1:12
Speaker 1: Colts at home. So you know, I don't care how
1:14
Speaker 1: good they are. They played well against this football team,
1:17
Speaker 1: exactly right. And that's something that our team is aware of. Um,
1:20
Speaker 1: you look at the two games last year, and and
1:23
Speaker 1: you know, there were some leads there, and there's some
1:25
Speaker 1: things that we didn't do so well in those football games.
1:27
Speaker 1: And you know, it's just something that we've got to
1:29
Speaker 1: be able to take care of, just take care of
1:31
Speaker 1: our own and and just focus on us and our jobs.
1:34
Speaker 1: And we've got a rebound to from from what I
1:36
Speaker 1: would call an kind of an ugly loss, you know,
1:39
Speaker 1: last week in the in the muck up in Philadelphia,
1:41
Speaker 1: but something that we can we can flip around this weekend.
1:44
Speaker 1: I'm sure it'll be nice to get back to good
1:46
Speaker 1: weather as it is down Yeah, And and part of
1:50
Speaker 1: that kind of getting back to being your brand of football.
1:53
Speaker 1: Your quarterback had five giveaways in Philadelphia and you played
1:58
Speaker 1: the position. How important because we typically don't talk about
2:01
Speaker 1: toughness when we talk about quarterbacks, but how mentally tough
2:04
Speaker 1: does he have to be to get through that? He's
2:06
Speaker 1: got to be extremely tough mentally. You know those things.
2:10
Speaker 1: You get one and I think you can kind of
2:12
Speaker 1: handle that, you start getting the second one, you know
2:14
Speaker 1: in that game, and the third and just that's where
2:16
Speaker 1: it really starts, playing on the psyche of of of
2:19
Speaker 1: the quarterback, especially the mind and and then you become
2:22
Speaker 1: hesitant as a passer and and you know you're not
2:24
Speaker 1: getting through your progressions and read. So you know, it's
2:27
Speaker 1: something that we've we've talked with him about earlier this week,
2:29
Speaker 1: just just not only to point them out, but just
2:31
Speaker 1: to understand that, Hey, listen, those things are gonna happen
2:34
Speaker 1: um and how well can we just flip the switch,
2:38
Speaker 1: you know, focus on the next play, get back on
2:40
Speaker 1: the horse, as we say, and and uh, you know,
2:43
Speaker 1: make that next pass. Head coach Doug Peterson with us
2:46
Speaker 1: another point. Last week, Jaguars defense gave up rushing yards
2:50
Speaker 1: and this is a Texans group that we'll hand it
2:53
Speaker 1: off and run effectively. How does that group bounce back
2:56
Speaker 1: after entering that game last week number one in the league. Yeah,
2:59
Speaker 1: I think they will. You know. One of the things
3:02
Speaker 1: you know that we saw on the tape, uh you know,
3:04
Speaker 1: the next day and and watching it again is just
3:07
Speaker 1: we we've got to stay disciplined in our in our
3:09
Speaker 1: run fits. You know, it was a little bit of
3:11
Speaker 1: Washington game all over again from that standpoint, little undisciplined
3:15
Speaker 1: or out of character for some of our guys. And
3:17
Speaker 1: you know, we just got to get back to playing
3:18
Speaker 1: our brand of football, and and and staying discipline within
3:21
Speaker 1: the game plan, understanding your role in the game plan,
3:24
Speaker 1: and and and taking it to the field. And I
3:26
Speaker 1: know our guys will are will bounce back, and they
3:29
Speaker 1: do have a you know, our division is built to
3:31
Speaker 1: to run the football, and and that's why we went
3:34
Speaker 1: out and got some of the not only the draft picks,
3:36
Speaker 1: but the free agents to help us stop the run.
3:38
Speaker 1: And Pierce is a is a great young back that
3:40
Speaker 1: the Texans have. And going back to the Philadelphia game,
3:44
Speaker 1: you know, me, Doug, I watched the defensive line very closely.
3:46
Speaker 1: I thought that that was an off game for your
3:48
Speaker 1: front three big guys. If they get back to being
3:50
Speaker 1: a little bit more stout, it makes it easier for
3:52
Speaker 1: your young linebackers. It does, and and and give credit
3:55
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia, that's a good offensive line that they win against.
3:58
Speaker 1: But I do like our three tiar your guys. You know,
4:01
Speaker 1: they've they've really proven, you know, in those two wins,
4:03
Speaker 1: how how dominant they can be, you know in the
4:06
Speaker 1: run uh game, And and so they've got to bounce
4:08
Speaker 1: back and and and have that type of performance this weekend. Now,
4:11
Speaker 1: Davis Mills is not Jalen Hurts, you know, Okay, that's
4:14
Speaker 1: not gonna run the read option probably, But do you
4:17
Speaker 1: expect to see the read option? You know, it's kind
4:19
Speaker 1: of copy cat league. Even though he's not a runner,
4:22
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna see it, aren't you. I think everybody's
4:25
Speaker 1: offensive playbook has some form of read option, you know,
4:28
Speaker 1: that zone read and then regardless of if the quarterbacks
4:31
Speaker 1: mobile or not. You know, you're even seeing Matt Ryan
4:34
Speaker 1: Uh run it a little bit, you know from time
4:36
Speaker 1: to time, whether he's just pulling it himself or by scheme.
4:39
Speaker 1: But you know, I mean this is something that every
4:40
Speaker 1: team is gonna do, and and Davis is very capable
4:43
Speaker 1: of handling that. You know, Um, he's a he's a
4:47
Speaker 1: good passer, he's he's smart, he you know and he
4:49
Speaker 1: thinking is what you're seeing too, is his leadership with
4:51
Speaker 1: that football team and how he's kind of brought them
4:53
Speaker 1: back and given their team and opportunity the fourth quarter
4:56
Speaker 1: to win some of these games. Matt Ryan, the speedy
4:58
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's running the great option. We'll see them in
5:02
Speaker 1: a couple We'll see them in a couple of weeks.
5:03
Speaker 1: I guess it's head coach Doug Peterson with us UM. Alright,
5:07
Speaker 1: so a Texans defense, what does a Lovey Smith defense
5:10
Speaker 1: feel like? And you know they have a couple of
5:12
Speaker 1: safeties that are one and three on their team and
5:15
Speaker 1: tackles aggressive guys from the back end. Well, what you're
5:18
Speaker 1: seeing with this defense is number one again. Uh, they're
5:21
Speaker 1: seeing We're seeing how high energetic and fast moving this
5:26
Speaker 1: team is. They fly around with a lot of team speed.
5:30
Speaker 1: And then you're seeing the love e print, Lovey Smith
5:33
Speaker 1: kind of fingerprint of Cover two. Uh with this with
5:37
Speaker 1: with this front, the Pirates stunts are a lot of
5:39
Speaker 1: movement and games up front with their d linemen and linebackers.
5:42
Speaker 1: You know, he prides himself on third down, playing that
5:46
Speaker 1: traditional Cover two and keeping everything in front of him. Um,
5:50
Speaker 1: but he's a you know, also mixing his single high coverages.
5:53
Speaker 1: But you're you're seeing that traditional you know, four three
5:56
Speaker 1: based defense and and they play it well, and they've
5:59
Speaker 1: they've got the guys to to do it and guys
6:01
Speaker 1: to run and and um, you know, it's it's a
6:05
Speaker 1: it's something you don't see every single week. You know,
6:08
Speaker 1: you see more five man fronts nowadays. That's kind of
6:11
Speaker 1: the trend in the National Football League. And and now
6:13
Speaker 1: going back to you know, the traditional four three is
6:16
Speaker 1: a little bit of a throwback for us as as
6:19
Speaker 1: coaches trying to scheme it up. You brought up a
6:22
Speaker 1: term that gave me a flashback. Pirate. I started hearing
6:27
Speaker 1: that term in when Pete Carroll instituted in our in
6:30
Speaker 1: our game plan, and its real quick just to describe
6:33
Speaker 1: the people what a pirate is. Yeah, a pirate stunt
6:35
Speaker 1: is just taking taking a really tackling an end and
6:38
Speaker 1: they they're gonna they're gonna stem down into the gap
6:42
Speaker 1: inside of them, right, They're gonna they're gonna what we
6:43
Speaker 1: call a pirate, They're gonna rock inside and create havoc.
6:46
Speaker 1: Usually take a three technique and maybe a six and
6:48
Speaker 1: they're gonna they're gonna go hard inside, you know, to
6:51
Speaker 1: it to to disrupt. And that's that's what this style
6:55
Speaker 1: of defense is disruptive style of defense. And they try
6:58
Speaker 1: to with their with their front seven, you know, uh,
7:02
Speaker 1: pile everything up and really try to try to stop
7:04
Speaker 1: and slow down your run game when you when you
7:06
Speaker 1: face a lot of cover to a lot of people's
7:09
Speaker 1: first instinct is okay, we gotta run to football if
7:12
Speaker 1: we're seeing cover two? Is is that kind of the
7:14
Speaker 1: still the same mindset? Well, all the middle open defenses
7:18
Speaker 1: that you see, you would love to run, you know,
7:21
Speaker 1: the football, but you know they've got ways now with
7:23
Speaker 1: the with the corners, with the way these corners are
7:25
Speaker 1: being aggressive off the edges. Uh, the way these backers
7:28
Speaker 1: you know fly, they try to create one line of scrimmage.
7:32
Speaker 1: These these backers are gonna fly into the A gaps,
7:36
Speaker 1: B gaps, C gaps to try to you know, disrupt
7:39
Speaker 1: some of the combo blocks by your offensive line so
7:41
Speaker 1: they can they can stay in their shell defense. It's
7:44
Speaker 1: just how well we handle the movement and the stunting
7:47
Speaker 1: by this line up front um, and that gives us
7:50
Speaker 1: the best chance to run the ball if we can
7:51
Speaker 1: handle that head coach Doug Peterson with us on the
7:54
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show. Let's go to the Microsoft Surface for
7:57
Speaker 1: a social media question for the head coach at Flat
8:00
Speaker 1: Cap Jaguar on Twitter today. Coach, has anything positively surprised
8:05
Speaker 1: you about this team that you didn't expect when you
8:08
Speaker 1: took the job. That's a great question, you know. And
8:11
Speaker 1: and and I would say that just the leadership of
8:14
Speaker 1: this team. This is a young football team, you know,
8:16
Speaker 1: but but having the leadership that we do with some
8:19
Speaker 1: of these guys and the maturity that I've seen with
8:22
Speaker 1: this team, Uh, it was a little was a bright
8:25
Speaker 1: spot was a surprise a little bit, you know, because
8:27
Speaker 1: sometimes with young players you just don't see that, right
8:29
Speaker 1: you You kind of rely on the veteran, crafty guy
8:32
Speaker 1: to be the leader. But but this group when I
8:35
Speaker 1: got here in February, and and and then seeing them
8:38
Speaker 1: again in April in the off season program, how they
8:40
Speaker 1: embraced that, you know. And it was the young guys.
8:43
Speaker 1: It was those guys that that that are have led
8:46
Speaker 1: this team, you know. And and uh, it's been a
8:49
Speaker 1: it's been a pleasantly surprising, uh situation for me, and
8:53
Speaker 1: one that I've really embraced and really like I'm on
8:56
Speaker 1: the outside looking in, but I'm a people watcher, and
9:00
Speaker 1: so all through training camp, you know, when I'm out
9:02
Speaker 1: there practice, which doesn't very often, get a chance to
9:04
Speaker 1: watch your guys. What impresses me because it's very hard
9:08
Speaker 1: for new guys to come into a program or a
9:10
Speaker 1: team and to have an impact in a leadership category.
9:13
Speaker 1: A lot of the new guys that you brought in
9:15
Speaker 1: in free agency have made a big impact in that
9:18
Speaker 1: category of leadership. They have, Uh you know, you think
9:22
Speaker 1: about you think about Christian and Zay on offense, right
9:25
Speaker 1: you think about Brandon Schriff on offense. I mean, these
9:28
Speaker 1: these three guys right there, um have been tremendous leaders
9:32
Speaker 1: in the offensive side. On the offensive side of the ball,
9:34
Speaker 1: Arden Key who you know, you really wouldn't think that
9:38
Speaker 1: a that a D lineman, edge rusher type guy would
9:41
Speaker 1: be have that role, but he does. You know, Foyer
9:44
Speaker 1: in the middle has been that type of player. You know,
9:46
Speaker 1: He's been a leader and been a leader by example.
9:49
Speaker 1: So all those guys that we've brought onto our roster
9:52
Speaker 1: and added depth have just kind of embraced that role.
9:57
Speaker 1: And not that not that I asked him to do it.
9:59
Speaker 1: I think it something that UH is in them to
10:02
Speaker 1: do it, and UH it just it just helps you overall.
10:04
Speaker 1: Good to the football team. Doug. It's Legends weekend. I
10:07
Speaker 1: don't know how much time you'll have to interact with
10:08
Speaker 1: all the alumni players coming back into logs. Has always
10:11
Speaker 1: fired up about this weekend. It's Tony Boselli Ring Day.
10:14
Speaker 1: All that's going on. How important is it to embrace
10:17
Speaker 1: the alumni players and bring them back. I think it's everything.
10:20
Speaker 1: It's huge because you know, for these young players on
10:22
Speaker 1: this team and really even some of the old players,
10:25
Speaker 1: just to understand the history and the UH, the you know,
10:28
Speaker 1: the just the value of the organization, where the organization
10:31
Speaker 1: has come from, and and the people that in the
10:33
Speaker 1: players that have gone before UH and kind of paved
10:36
Speaker 1: the way for these guys to have this opportunity. I
10:39
Speaker 1: think it's so important to keep UH, to keep those
10:42
Speaker 1: the legends involved and and bring them around, whether it's
10:44
Speaker 1: training camp for the regular season or to do things
10:47
Speaker 1: in the off season with them. UM, because you know,
10:49
Speaker 1: I'm one of those guys. I still get the newsletters
10:52
Speaker 1: from about eight different teams that I was on UM,
10:55
Speaker 1: but Uh, I think it's important to do that and
10:57
Speaker 1: and really to to interact with the current roster. Okay,
11:00
Speaker 1: cocktail our Saturday night. You want to come to join us,
11:02
Speaker 1: I'll come. I'll let me know where it is. I'll
11:04
Speaker 1: be there. I love it. Hey Doug, and luck to
11:07
Speaker 1: you this week. Appreciate the time is always you plenty
11:09
Speaker 1: more ahead. This is the Doug Peterson Show on the
11:12
Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues
11:23
Speaker 1: right now. Welcome back. It's the Doug Peterson Show, j P, Shadrick,
11:27
Speaker 1: Jeff flag winner thanks to head coach Doug Peterson joining
11:30
Speaker 1: us every Thursday and the Jaguars host the Houston Texans.
11:35
Speaker 1: It's week five coming up, alright, So the head coaches
11:40
Speaker 1: got his team rolling and and ready to go back
11:43
Speaker 1: to work this Sunday after a tough loss last week.
11:46
Speaker 1: It's expected and by now you know that the the
11:49
Speaker 1: tone's gonna be just just moderate, right down the middle. No,
11:53
Speaker 1: not too high, not too low. Maybe for not even
11:56
Speaker 1: twenty four hours rule. They've a couple of players in
11:59
Speaker 1: the locker rooms said, yeah, it was. It was a
12:01
Speaker 1: little less than twenty four hours and we flushed this
12:03
Speaker 1: one away and moved on to next week. Pretty impressive, right,
12:06
Speaker 1: I mean as far as how how Dougs demeanor is
12:09
Speaker 1: real calm and it doesn't matter whether you know you
12:12
Speaker 1: get a big win or you get a big loss.
12:14
Speaker 1: You know, he's real steady. And he was asked that
12:17
Speaker 1: question last week at one point and he said that
12:21
Speaker 1: he just feels like that. You know, you gotta be
12:22
Speaker 1: able to stand up in front of the team and
12:24
Speaker 1: be able to deliver messages without a lot of emotion
12:26
Speaker 1: and let them know where we need to go with messaging, etcetera.
12:30
Speaker 1: And he does a great job with that, and that's, uh,
12:33
Speaker 1: I think, very impressive. A lot of times coaches can
12:37
Speaker 1: be self serving and they want to go up there
12:39
Speaker 1: and pound the table. You know, we gotta turnovers and
12:44
Speaker 1: giveaways are of our existence. And he's JTP right now,
12:48
Speaker 1: just like jumping out of their seat pounding the table.
12:51
Speaker 1: I hurt your ears, Joe. I don't care if I
12:56
Speaker 1: hurt Reaver's ears. You know he's young ears. He can survive.
12:59
Speaker 1: But we get your point, right, I mean, pounding the table,
13:02
Speaker 1: stand up there like pattent. You know, the whole thing
13:04
Speaker 1: self serving launch You know what what matters is what
13:07
Speaker 1: you what you say to your team and uh, and look,
13:11
Speaker 1: I know it. Sometimes when you have a coach that
13:13
Speaker 1: you know gets up there and pounds that table, sometimes
13:16
Speaker 1: it makes a fan base feel better. But at the
13:19
Speaker 1: end of the day, that doesn't always help your football team.
13:22
Speaker 1: And what's what matters is that you are finding a
13:25
Speaker 1: way to make sure that your football team gets through this,
13:29
Speaker 1: that learns from this, recovers from this, and then moves on.
13:33
Speaker 1: Not that. Ah, you know, wow, I'm just so disappointed.
13:36
Speaker 1: I can't believe we did ad and no, that doesn't work. No,
13:40
Speaker 1: and that that was priority number one for Doug Peterson
13:44
Speaker 1: this offseason was too earn that trust to the team
13:46
Speaker 1: to get up there and do that and approach them
13:49
Speaker 1: the way that there they should be approached, and that
13:52
Speaker 1: hasn't happened around here as of late. And now he's
13:55
Speaker 1: into this season and is able to jump up there
13:57
Speaker 1: and do that. Well, there was absolutely zero messaging last year,
14:04
Speaker 1: you know, So there you go. But you know, I
14:06
Speaker 1: look at uh, I think you know, the one thing
14:09
Speaker 1: I think that I came away with from watching the
14:12
Speaker 1: game in Philadelphia, beyond the game, was that you watched
14:18
Speaker 1: the the love and adoration of fans and former employees
14:25
Speaker 1: that Doug spent time with and the love that they
14:29
Speaker 1: showed to him. Um, the number of former Eagles or
14:34
Speaker 1: should I say the number of Eagles staff members that
14:37
Speaker 1: we're going up to shake Doug's hand and to say
14:41
Speaker 1: hi after the game. The players that went up to
14:44
Speaker 1: give him a hug, you know, the players, I mean
14:47
Speaker 1: not just players, players multiple Jason Kelsey going up wanting
14:52
Speaker 1: to do a jersey jacket swap with Doug Peterson after
14:57
Speaker 1: the game. That was cool. And we're sitting there watching
15:01
Speaker 1: and I saw Kelsey running the sideline and said, what
15:04
Speaker 1: the heck is he doing? And he goes and he
15:06
Speaker 1: grabs his clear plastic bag and I'm like, that looks
15:09
Speaker 1: like a jersey in there. And I said, well, he's
15:11
Speaker 1: probably gonna go swap jersey's with somebody, and like while
15:14
Speaker 1: he's in the thirteenth year, and they'll be interesting to
15:16
Speaker 1: see who he's gonna swap with on the Jaguars team,
15:18
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, who does he does he want
15:21
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk? I mean, I don't know who's the equal
15:25
Speaker 1: over here? Right, Yeah, So you know you're talking about
15:27
Speaker 1: a guy who want Super Bowl thirteen years in the league,
15:29
Speaker 1: and he goes up the duck and gives him a
15:31
Speaker 1: big old bear hug and the embrace. And then you
15:34
Speaker 1: could see that Kelsey was given him the body language
15:37
Speaker 1: I want to you know, and Dougs like, you know
15:40
Speaker 1: my jacket, you want my jacket and yeah yeah, and
15:43
Speaker 1: they did it. Uh yeah, doctor the jacket off right
15:46
Speaker 1: then and there and gave it to Kelsey and then
15:49
Speaker 1: Kelsey gave him his jersey. It was it was cool, man.
15:53
Speaker 1: And that's you know, if you're a Jaguar player, you
15:58
Speaker 1: gotta love seeing that be because there is, you know,
16:02
Speaker 1: there's a special bond between certain coaches and players, and
16:06
Speaker 1: it's that's not always a great bond, you know, sometimes
16:09
Speaker 1: it's a it's a coach player bond, but sometimes it's
16:12
Speaker 1: a little bit more than that. And you could tell
16:15
Speaker 1: that that and obviously when you win a Super Bowl
16:18
Speaker 1: it makes that bond even more special and uh and
16:22
Speaker 1: it was just good to see. And and I'm sure
16:24
Speaker 1: that from a Jaguars player standpoint that that was also
16:27
Speaker 1: good to see. We'll come back in a moment and
16:30
Speaker 1: get into the mentality logs of beating teams that you
16:35
Speaker 1: should beat hasn't been the you know, this has been
16:40
Speaker 1: the team that should be beat for a number of it.
16:42
Speaker 1: I like, I like saying that a little bit differently.
16:45
Speaker 1: We'll find out how when we come back. This is
16:48
Speaker 1: the Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio. Welcome Back. The
17:01
Speaker 1: Peterson Show continues right now. The Doug Peterson Show is
17:06
Speaker 1: presented by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
17:09
Speaker 1: JP Shatrick with Jeff Logman. We heard from head coach
17:12
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson in the opening ten minutes of the program,
17:15
Speaker 1: as always on Thursdays, glad you're along with us. I
17:17
Speaker 1: hope you'll join us at the bank this Sunday. And
17:19
Speaker 1: week five as the Jaguars entertained the Houston Texans, Jaguars
17:23
Speaker 1: at two and two first place in the a f
17:25
Speaker 1: C South the Texans at oh three and one. So
17:29
Speaker 1: before the commercial time out, the mentality now logs of
17:34
Speaker 1: as I put it, beating teams you should beat and
17:37
Speaker 1: now you said you're supposed to beat okay or should beat? Yeah, okay,
17:41
Speaker 1: it's kind of the same phrasing, right, Yes. I like
17:44
Speaker 1: the concept of the wording is to win the winnable games.
17:49
Speaker 1: You know, because I think that shows a little bit
17:51
Speaker 1: more respect to the opponent. Okay, and it also not
17:56
Speaker 1: on the field having to go I guess these guys.
17:58
Speaker 1: And it's also it recognizes at you know, this is
18:02
Speaker 1: a professional football team that can beat you. You know,
18:05
Speaker 1: this is not Texas A and M and Appalachian State
18:08
Speaker 1: and you just have this monstrous advantage from a personnel
18:12
Speaker 1: and facilities and everything else. Standpoint at Texas A and
18:16
Speaker 1: over over app State. I mean, that's it's just not
18:19
Speaker 1: it's not that kind of comparison. So and and again
18:23
Speaker 1: the reality I'll say this again when we have had
18:27
Speaker 1: this week come up in years past, we viewed the
18:29
Speaker 1: Texans and last year the very first game, we were
18:32
Speaker 1: calling them a dumpster fire, you know, with all the
18:34
Speaker 1: situations that they had going on with Jack easter By
18:37
Speaker 1: as the executive vice president of football operations, and how
18:42
Speaker 1: they looked like an organization and disarray. And they took
18:47
Speaker 1: the Jaguars the first game of the season to to
18:50
Speaker 1: the tool Shed and it wasn't a pretty look. And
18:54
Speaker 1: then the second game in here was the same kind process.
19:01
Speaker 1: You know. So look, I hope things are going to
19:04
Speaker 1: be different this year. I expect them to be differently
19:06
Speaker 1: because I think that this is a much different Jaguars
19:08
Speaker 1: football team, and this is a Texans team that is
19:11
Speaker 1: still struggling to find its footing, and you need to
19:15
Speaker 1: make sure that you can take advantage of situations when
19:17
Speaker 1: you have an opportunity. That's a better way to say it,
19:21
Speaker 1: win winnable games. It makes a whole lot more sense now,
19:25
Speaker 1: a little less abrasive. Well, well, I mean I just
19:29
Speaker 1: just the saying of win the games that you're supposed
19:32
Speaker 1: to win or that you're you know that you should win.
19:36
Speaker 1: I mean that's to use the phrase from her Edwards,
19:41
Speaker 1: that's why they play the game. Yes, good point. So
19:47
Speaker 1: that was one of the greatest. That was one of
19:48
Speaker 1: the greatest interviews ever by the way Jim Moore and
19:51
Speaker 1: Herm Edwards, those two interviews are epic. So, um, this
19:55
Speaker 1: is a new feeling though for some players who have
19:59
Speaker 1: been around out here for a few years though, to
20:01
Speaker 1: be in a capacity where they're in first place early
20:04
Speaker 1: in a season with yes, a division game this week
20:08
Speaker 1: against the team that in theory, on paper could be down.
20:12
Speaker 1: So getting the team to play to that standard, I
20:15
Speaker 1: think it's something Doug's gonna have to work through well.
20:18
Speaker 1: And the first thing I needed to make sure that
20:20
Speaker 1: you do is control the controllables, protect the football, be
20:26
Speaker 1: an awareness of the football. And that kind of goes
20:28
Speaker 1: without saying. That's the one thing that we have been
20:30
Speaker 1: harping on, and obviously it was very glaring in last
20:33
Speaker 1: week's game. Catching the ball. Okay, Christian Kirk had some drops,
20:38
Speaker 1: and I know conditions were what they were, but the
20:42
Speaker 1: Eagles didn't seem to have too much problems with those conditions. Okay,
20:46
Speaker 1: So catch the balls that are catchable, that's for you know,
20:49
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk, Marvin Jones, and uh. Even Evan Ingram at
20:53
Speaker 1: one point had the one ball that came to him
20:56
Speaker 1: and it was probably knuckling to him, but he was
21:00
Speaker 1: so consumed make the catchment, the catchment, the catch, make
21:02
Speaker 1: the catch that he didn't do anything with it after
21:05
Speaker 1: he got it, and uh, and I get it. Secure
21:08
Speaker 1: the ball first, and I appreciate that, and but at
21:11
Speaker 1: some point you want to make sure that you can
21:13
Speaker 1: do something with it after you get it. And then defensively,
21:17
Speaker 1: you have to make sure that you're not committing penalties
21:20
Speaker 1: that are making it easier for the opponent's offense or
21:23
Speaker 1: a few of them in last week's game as well.
21:26
Speaker 1: So just clean it up, you know. And when Doug
21:28
Speaker 1: talked this week about Washington kind of reared its head again.
21:33
Speaker 1: Those are that's what he's talking about there to where
21:35
Speaker 1: you have some things that you can control and then
21:39
Speaker 1: you miss some things. Trevor missing the double move to
21:42
Speaker 1: Jamal Agnew on a deep ball on the outside he got,
21:45
Speaker 1: you know, it gets a little bit of pressure and
21:47
Speaker 1: he throws it earlier than he wants to. Okay, well, okay,
21:50
Speaker 1: what can you do differently? Can you avoid the pressure
21:53
Speaker 1: a little bit to buy you that extra time or
21:55
Speaker 1: can you still make it more accurate throw even though
21:57
Speaker 1: you're getting pressure, Because the reality he is in the NFL,
22:01
Speaker 1: pressure happens. So a lot of things that to be
22:05
Speaker 1: learned from last week and and really a lot of
22:08
Speaker 1: things that are just I think we're reinforced from the
22:11
Speaker 1: Washington game for this football team. And then you know,
22:15
Speaker 1: look last week and and not really we haven't talked
22:18
Speaker 1: about this yet. Nobody's really talked much about this. Last
22:21
Speaker 1: week was a different week. And I'm not trying to
22:24
Speaker 1: make excuses for the TeV out, you know, Tampa Bay
22:28
Speaker 1: that you know, their coach talked about it, about how
22:31
Speaker 1: um Todd Bowls, talked about how the schedules disrupted well,
22:36
Speaker 1: this football team. There was a lot of these contingency
22:39
Speaker 1: plans being talked about what they would do. Would they
22:41
Speaker 1: travel out or early on a Thursday, would they move
22:45
Speaker 1: the schedule up, would they go somewhere else? Would they
22:48
Speaker 1: go you know, to another place and practice. Even though
22:51
Speaker 1: none of those things really happened, there was a slight
22:54
Speaker 1: alteration to the practice from Thursday and Friday to where
22:57
Speaker 1: they typically after a Thursday practice they go in and
23:00
Speaker 1: watch film, etcetera. They moved all of that to Friday.
23:03
Speaker 1: So they just added a little bit more work to
23:04
Speaker 1: the work day on Friday and left at the normal
23:08
Speaker 1: time and everything on Saturday. But how many how many times, JP,
23:12
Speaker 1: did you stare at the weather channel last week? All
23:15
Speaker 1: week long? All week long? And I think from a
23:18
Speaker 1: players standpoint, you're staring at the check You got family
23:21
Speaker 1: and you've got friends, and you know you're wondering what's
23:24
Speaker 1: gonna happen. Is this storm gonna come to us? Is
23:26
Speaker 1: it gonna affect us? I mean, so again, I'm not
23:29
Speaker 1: trying to make excuses, but I'm just trying to point
23:32
Speaker 1: out that this was a different week I think in
23:34
Speaker 1: a lot of aspects for this football team, and uh,
23:38
Speaker 1: and that can take I think the focused concentration away
23:41
Speaker 1: a little bit. And then also it uh, it stresses
23:45
Speaker 1: your body a little bit, so you may sometimes not
23:48
Speaker 1: as fresh going into a game just because of the
23:50
Speaker 1: nervous energy that you're expending, you know, from from those
23:53
Speaker 1: type of things. And again, I'm not trying to make
23:54
Speaker 1: excuse of but I'm just saying that it was a
23:56
Speaker 1: very different week. We'll come back in a moment and
24:00
Speaker 1: get into this Jaguars defense that gave up two rushing
24:02
Speaker 1: yards last week. That's in the past. You're looking ahead.
24:06
Speaker 1: The Texans like to run it. They have a young
24:08
Speaker 1: running back. They can get some things done as well.
24:10
Speaker 1: This is the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
24:22
Speaker 1: Welcome Back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now. Welcome

25:05
Speaker 1: at the top of the homepage and beautiful, You're right there.
25:07
Speaker 1: It's right there in front of you hung your computer
25:09
Speaker 1: screen or surface tablet whatever. Yeah. Typically typically mute you
25:14
Speaker 1: when you talking, and I wait for Bucky to talk. Really,
25:18
Speaker 1: I'm just kidding. I don't know if you are just
25:21
Speaker 1: kid you and everybody else, Now, I just kid, all right?
25:24
Speaker 1: So last week we we know it by now yards
25:28
Speaker 1: on the ground for the Philadelphia Eagles in last week's game. Fully,
25:32
Speaker 1: Photokasi is on the injury report this week with the
25:34
Speaker 1: quadriceps issue. Did not practice today. Jaguars defensive tackle. It's
25:39
Speaker 1: a Texans team that has a young running back that
25:41
Speaker 1: they handed off to a good bid who seems to
25:43
Speaker 1: be getting better and better. You know, how how do
25:46
Speaker 1: they improve what was the big issue last week in
25:49
Speaker 1: the run defense and what do you do against Damian
25:52
Speaker 1: Pierce Well and as I mentioned a Doug, you know
25:55
Speaker 1: about the performance of the three guys up front. You
25:57
Speaker 1: want that to improve and get back to where it
26:00
Speaker 1: was really dominant. And you know, I thought Roy Robinson
26:03
Speaker 1: Harris has had you know, an outstanding start to his
26:06
Speaker 1: year and last week was a little off and uh
26:11
Speaker 1: and I think he'll get back to for him this
26:13
Speaker 1: week because he's just been so strong and so powerful
26:17
Speaker 1: and he just controls the line of scrimmage. Devon Hamilton's
26:20
Speaker 1: the same way. But Devon Hamilton's was facing again one
26:24
Speaker 1: of the top three or four or five centers in
26:27
Speaker 1: the league and Kelsey and a guy that has had
26:30
Speaker 1: great experience playing the game, and that was a tough
26:33
Speaker 1: match up there. Again, credit the Philadelphia Eagles offensive line.
26:36
Speaker 1: They've got a couple of really good players up front
26:40
Speaker 1: and two elite players I would put Kelsey and then
26:43
Speaker 1: the right tackle Lane Johnson. And the categories of being elite,
26:47
Speaker 1: I mean, their top five at their position around and
26:50
Speaker 1: anywhere in the National Football League not caught just the conference.
26:54
Speaker 1: So you know, they faced a tough matchup, and so
26:56
Speaker 1: you get back to being stout up front, and you
26:59
Speaker 1: get back to be and decisive as linebackers. And and
27:02
Speaker 1: it's much easier to be decisive as a linebacker when
27:05
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage is established by your three big
27:07
Speaker 1: guys up front, because they declare it for you when
27:11
Speaker 1: they are not in their gaps. Then as a linebacker,
27:13
Speaker 1: you're going, Okay, do I have to cover up for
27:15
Speaker 1: the gap that's where my guy is not in where
27:18
Speaker 1: he was supposed to be in, or do I go
27:21
Speaker 1: to where I'm supposed to be you know, So then
27:23
Speaker 1: you kind of get caught in between of trying to
27:25
Speaker 1: cover a hole that shouldn't be there because the performance
27:29
Speaker 1: is not what it needs to be up in front
27:31
Speaker 1: of you. So combination of things and uh, you know,
27:36
Speaker 1: and stack the line of scrimmage, and you know, are
27:38
Speaker 1: you worried about the Texans wide receivers if you stack
27:42
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage? I'm not worried that much, you know.
27:45
Speaker 1: And I know Brandon Cooks has been really good against
27:47
Speaker 1: the jack bars five and oh he's got five touchdowns
27:50
Speaker 1: and five meetings, four yard games, yeah against the jack Yeah.
27:55
Speaker 1: And then look, he's been good, you know, And but
27:59
Speaker 1: does he's scared scare me? I mean, I respect him,
28:03
Speaker 1: I would respect him, but I don't think he would
28:06
Speaker 1: scare me because I would feel pretty confident in our
28:08
Speaker 1: guys to be able to match up with him. He's
28:10
Speaker 1: he's one of those guys that's got great change of direction.
28:13
Speaker 1: So you gotta make sure that if you do playman man,
28:15
Speaker 1: you've got somebody that can handle that change of direction
28:18
Speaker 1: and body him up off the light of scrimmage. You know.
28:21
Speaker 1: The other guy on the other side, Nico Collins is
28:23
Speaker 1: coming off a career game that he had last week.
28:26
Speaker 1: He had three catches for eighty two yards and he
28:28
Speaker 1: had a I think a fifty eight yard or a
28:30
Speaker 1: big one that led to a Brandon Cook's touchdown soon after.
28:34
Speaker 1: And Nico Collins is a big guy. He's got like
28:37
Speaker 1: excellent size, and there was one particular play that he ran.
28:40
Speaker 1: You know, Brandon Cooks is known for a speed, but
28:43
Speaker 1: there was one play in particular that really stood out
28:45
Speaker 1: on film that I saw. Nuko Collins is flying down
28:47
Speaker 1: the field and you know, and and it when you're
28:50
Speaker 1: fast on film, you're really fast. When I what I
28:54
Speaker 1: mean by That is when you recognize great speed on film.
28:58
Speaker 1: But where you see a guy just that out run
29:00
Speaker 1: by defensive back, it's hard not to notice that. And
29:05
Speaker 1: I was like, holy cow, put it this way watching
29:08
Speaker 1: and I see this play, and I immediately after I
29:10
Speaker 1: saw the play went, holy cow, oh my god speed
29:13
Speaker 1: that he just showed their put pause on the film,
29:17
Speaker 1: grab my phone and did the old gts google that
29:20
Speaker 1: stuff and searched Nico Colins speed, And uh, he's a
29:26
Speaker 1: legitimate four or four guy that's got it's got the
29:29
Speaker 1: size to you know. So now this is gonna be
29:32
Speaker 1: a big play guy that the Jaguars are gonna have
29:34
Speaker 1: to respect as well. But if if they're not running,
29:38
Speaker 1: you know, if if the Texans aren't running with great success,
29:41
Speaker 1: if you're big guys get it done on the early downs,
29:43
Speaker 1: it's a lot easier to pressure a quarterback who is
29:46
Speaker 1: struggling in the year two plenty ahead. We'll come back
29:50
Speaker 1: in a moment though. It's Legends weekend. The alumni players
29:53
Speaker 1: are coming back. Yeah, mess it next to one every
29:57

Speaker 1: I juggle? I beat j on retweeting, So write it
32:34
Speaker 1: down anyway. Are you excited to see your former team yet? Now? Yeah? Yeah,
32:41
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see all the guys, and I I
32:43
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a pretty good turn out, not
32:45
Speaker 1: as strong as a lot of times on Alumni Weekend.
32:48
Speaker 1: They try to hold it into November and then sometimes
32:52
Speaker 1: even the first early part of December because you can
32:54
Speaker 1: get a higher rate of guys that come back because
32:57
Speaker 1: a lot of guys are associated with other football programs,
33:00
Speaker 1: whether it be at the at the high school level,
33:02
Speaker 1: the collegiate level, or what have you. But it's gonna
33:05
Speaker 1: be good to see the guys and I'm looking forward
33:08
Speaker 1: to it. And um, you know, there's a whole bunch
33:12
Speaker 1: of different events that are gonna be happening through the weekend,
33:15
Speaker 1: and I'll get to see the majority of him on Saturday,
33:17
Speaker 1: night and then hopefully again on Sunday morning. So looking
33:21
Speaker 1: forward to it. That'll be fun. Always is to see, Yeah,
33:24
Speaker 1: it'll be great. And and uh and I and I've
33:27
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta find out, you know, since Posselli is
33:30
Speaker 1: neglecting his game day duties, do do we get paid extra?
33:38
Speaker 1: All signs point to know. I think we should all
33:43
Speaker 1: split Tony's portion. We would all do very well broadcast
33:48
Speaker 1: duties that he is not getting because he's doing this
33:51
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame stuff. I think I think we would
33:54
Speaker 1: all do very well that weekend if that were the case.
33:57
Speaker 1: You know, considering he's got the jacket in a ring
34:00
Speaker 1: and a bus now I think the price went up. Yeah, yeah, good,
34:04
Speaker 1: good for him. It's gonna be a cool day. And
34:08
Speaker 1: who's coming from the Hall of Fame? That there's a
34:10
Speaker 1: guy president Jim I believe up months the president of
34:17
Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame is coming, which it's
34:20
Speaker 1: a pro football Hall of Fame. And I learned all
34:23
Speaker 1: of this when we were in Canton a couple of
34:25
Speaker 1: months ago, that it's a nonprofit and uh, they don't
34:31
Speaker 1: own all of the stuff. Jim Porter, Jim Porter, they
34:34
Speaker 1: don't own own all of the stuff there that's at
34:37
Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame other than the actual
34:40
Speaker 1: place that you go into to see all the memorabilia.
34:43
Speaker 1: That's the only thing that they own that A lot
34:46
Speaker 1: of the stuff that's around the Pro Football Hall of
34:50
Speaker 1: Fame is uh, I think Hall of Fame Villages, LLC.
34:54
Speaker 1: And then also the high school that is attached to that,
34:58
Speaker 1: And so what a what a really you nique kind
35:00
Speaker 1: of arrangement that they have there and can't but but cool,
35:03
Speaker 1: the ring is gonna be cool, you know. So now
35:06
Speaker 1: Tony can just you know, wear the ring and not
35:08
Speaker 1: wear the gold jacket because he's been wearing it like
35:09
Speaker 1: every day, you know. Yeah, that's right, as long as

36:03
Speaker 1: coach Douck Peterson in the first segment each and every week.
36:07
Speaker 1: And by the way, Happy birthday to Trevor Lawrence. Three
36:11
Speaker 1: years old. Guys young who Yeah, he's uh young and
36:17
Speaker 1: uh and I look forward to many more years of

Speaker 1: watching him just continue to get better and better, to
36:25
Speaker 1: be again, but to beat twenty three and to have
36:31
Speaker 1: the level of maturity that he has it. Uh, it's
36:36
Speaker 1: it's impressive to watch how he handles himself, how he
36:40
Speaker 1: handles the media. He is he definitely is a special
36:45
Speaker 1: person when it comes to that. Let's go to the
36:47
Speaker 1: Microsoft surface here logs for a social media question. Plenty
36:51
Speaker 1: of submissions earlier for Coach Peterson, but we'll save this
36:54
Speaker 1: one for you. Logs here it is at needs G
36:57
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Why was James Robinson so limited in the
37:01
Speaker 1: second half of the game against Philadelphia? Well, you didn't
37:04
Speaker 1: want to ask Doug that, well, I just ask you.
37:07
Speaker 1: I'd rather ask you how about that? All right, Well,
37:10
Speaker 1: here's one of the reasons why. Okay, here's the possessions
37:14
Speaker 1: in the second half. Three and out and you had
37:18
Speaker 1: got sacked, okay, and they were all past plays, but
37:20
Speaker 1: the sack kind of threw you out out of whack
37:23
Speaker 1: a little bit on on early downs the okay, and
37:26
Speaker 1: then you went nine plays and then you had the interception,
37:28
Speaker 1: had a little bit running there, and then you go
37:31
Speaker 1: three and four. If you get your three plays and
37:33
Speaker 1: then punt again, and then you got a forty five
37:38
Speaker 1: yard play to Kirk and then agnew a six place
37:41
Speaker 1: sixty eight yards and you didn't run the ball ton there.
37:44
Speaker 1: But you're trying to play catch up because you were
37:45
Speaker 1: down by fifteen points when you got to that drive.
37:48
Speaker 1: So if you if you don't turn the ball over
37:51
Speaker 1: earlier in the ball game, then you get more plays,
37:54
Speaker 1: you get more runs. And it's the same way in
37:57
Speaker 1: the second half. When you start converting first downs and
38:00
Speaker 1: having a couple of three and ounce mixed in and
38:01
Speaker 1: the early part of the second half, then you can
38:03
Speaker 1: start stringing more plays together to hand the ball off
38:06
Speaker 1: to whether it be Travis e t N or James Robinson.
38:10
Speaker 1: Much like when you you had the game against the
38:14
Speaker 1: Chargers and then your your hand the ball off or
38:17
Speaker 1: the Colts and you're putting plays together. Okay, then you're
38:20
Speaker 1: run balanced mixes is pretty solid, you know. And and
38:23
Speaker 1: I do believe this that this is a system that
38:27
Speaker 1: is some systems of the old school football are kind
38:30
Speaker 1: of run first and then past second, and I believe
38:33
Speaker 1: that this system is kind of a pass first, run second.
38:36
Speaker 1: And that doesn't mean that you you still don't have balance.
38:40
Speaker 1: It's just that you accomplish balance in a different fashion.
38:44
Speaker 1: And uh So, the more success that you have of
38:48
Speaker 1: putting plays together, then you will find the balance in
38:51
Speaker 1: the running game, just like you would with an offense
38:54
Speaker 1: that is run first past second. Jaguar has had only
38:59
Speaker 1: forty six total plays in the game to Philly seventy seven.
39:03
Speaker 1: The Eagles had nearly forty minutes of possession time also,
39:07
Speaker 1: and the Eagles did a better job. I mean, that's
39:10
Speaker 1: just playing as simple. The Eagles turn the ball over
39:13
Speaker 1: one time, and it was a one time situation. It
39:17
Speaker 1: was early in the ball game where the ball got
39:19
Speaker 1: tipped him by the way. That was a really really
39:21
Speaker 1: good play and uh, Dame h Williams made an excellent
39:27
Speaker 1: play undercutting the wide receiver. Darius Williams undercuts the wide receiver,
39:32
Speaker 1: get the hand up, nearly makes the interception himself. And
39:35
Speaker 1: just a note, you know, we we have a Tennessee
39:38
Speaker 1: to kind of on on a game like that, to
39:39
Speaker 1: dwell on the negatives. You know, Okay, we're minus four
39:42
Speaker 1: turnover deferential. Trevor had a record sending he followed the
39:45
Speaker 1: ball four times. James Robinson also put it on the Church.
39:48
Speaker 1: Trevor had an interception that he had a bad decision on. Okay, well,
39:52
Speaker 1: was there any good? Why haven't you asked me? Has
39:55
Speaker 1: there been anything good? We got another segment. I mean
39:58
Speaker 1: I can come back and do that if you want. No, Yeah,
40:00
Speaker 1: they didn't have it in your There has been there
40:03
Speaker 1: has been some good. I mean there was some good.
40:05
Speaker 1: They scored on that play on the interception return, by
40:08
Speaker 1: the way, great great blocking on the intersection interception. That's
40:13
Speaker 1: what they've said they're missing on defense. They've done a
40:15
Speaker 1: lot of other things. Well they haven't scored yet. Well,
40:17
Speaker 1: now they can check that box. Jevin Lloyd got a
40:19
Speaker 1: great block, and uh, Devon Hamilton's got an excellent block.
40:25
Speaker 1: You got a great non block down the field by
40:27
Speaker 1: Josh Allen because it could have been a borderline clip
40:31
Speaker 1: and he just he kind of did one of these
40:32
Speaker 1: at the last second. A great decision to not to
40:36
Speaker 1: try to engage the offensive player. And that was the
40:39
Speaker 1: play that uh Jordan my Lotta heard his shoulder on
40:43
Speaker 1: end up kind of diving and then lands on his arm.
40:45
Speaker 1: His shoulder pops out. They had to pop it back in.
40:48
Speaker 1: But the left tackle the Eagles, that's the play that
40:50
Speaker 1: he got hurt on. But the the interception was great
40:53
Speaker 1: play and that was a positive. The other positive, Darius
40:56
Speaker 1: Williams had his best performance yet to date. You can
40:59
Speaker 1: see that he's stunning, starting to find his groove. And
41:03
Speaker 1: and I thought the offensive line, besides the two plays
41:07
Speaker 1: that Juwan Taylor had to where he gave up the
41:10
Speaker 1: two pressures and then the cost fumble sack and you
41:15
Speaker 1: can't always say that well besides those two plays, but
41:17
Speaker 1: the rest of the offensive line I thought played really well.
41:20
Speaker 1: I thought Fortner played his best game by far. Ben
41:24
Speaker 1: Barts continues to get better and better every week. He's
41:27
Speaker 1: taken a step up. Cam Robinson put on a really
41:31
Speaker 1: athletic display in that ball game. So there were some
41:34
Speaker 1: really good things to that game from that aspect. And
41:38
Speaker 1: and I think that the offensive line coach who JP.
41:42
Speaker 1: You and I are both fans of Phil Rauscher, and
41:46
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of his technique and what he's
41:50
Speaker 1: teaching these guys. Not as big of a fan as
41:53
Speaker 1: the former Jaguars offensive line coach, but I'm a fan
41:56
Speaker 1: of his this week because I'm seeing some of the
41:59
Speaker 1: Texans offensive lineman do some of the same stupid, bad
42:03
Speaker 1: set things that the Jaguars offensive line we're doing here
42:07
Speaker 1: last year. Throwing it out there, I'm well, I'm just
42:11
Speaker 1: telling you if I'm being truthful, you know, and I don't.
42:15
Speaker 1: I don't know what in his name is George Warhop.
42:17
Speaker 1: Warhop who is off intive line coach over the last
42:20
Speaker 1: two years. When you watch, when you watch the guards
42:22
Speaker 1: and the tackles set, everything is about angles, Okay, plain
42:26
Speaker 1: offensive line is about spatial relations in geometry seriously, and
42:30
Speaker 1: then not the sound nerdy or anything, but it's about
42:33
Speaker 1: the angles of the sets and the correlation to the
42:36
Speaker 1: guy next to you. And Warhop teaches the guards to
42:40
Speaker 1: almost have a vertical set where they open the gate.
42:44
Speaker 1: If the Jaguars don't get two sacks in this ball
42:47
Speaker 1: game from running t ease, which tackle gets up the
42:51
Speaker 1: field okay, on the on the guard outside shoulder of
42:54
Speaker 1: the guard, and it beats the inside should of the
42:56
Speaker 1: tackle on the end, goes up the field a couple
42:58
Speaker 1: of steps and then plants this what comes underneath. If
43:01
Speaker 1: they don't get two sacks on that stunt, JP and
43:04
Speaker 1: his ballgame, I'll buy you a beer. Wow about a
43:09
Speaker 1: really good beer. I'll buy beers all night. If they
43:15
Speaker 1: don't get two sacks on that. I don't think I'm
43:18
Speaker 1: gonna be drinking though it sounds like why because they're
43:23
Speaker 1: gonna get them, right, Yeah, Yeah, they gotta get They
43:27
Speaker 1: got it. They will get for them to get it.
43:31
Speaker 1: Wouldn't mind a beer either. We're back at a moment.

44:35
Speaker 1: everybody else. And you know, he didn't throw the ball
44:39
Speaker 1: beautifully or anything like that, but he gave it everything
44:42
Speaker 1: he had. And that's what I appreciated most about him.
44:45
Speaker 1: One of my favorite soundbites from him was a two
44:47
Speaker 1: point play went wrong or something. They asked him in the
44:49
Speaker 1: the locker room the next day, and what do you think,
44:51
