- 0:40Speaker 2: lose it late to the Texans. They're still searching for
- 0:42Speaker 2: their first win of this season. Now, lots of questions
- 0:46Speaker 2: about play calling at this point coming up again. We're
- 0:48Speaker 2: gonna keep it real a little bit later on in
- 0:50Speaker 2: some of your fan questions, there were a lot of them.
- 0:52Speaker 2: I tried to get the best ones out there, and
- 0:54Speaker 2: we're gonna ask Tony and Pete about that coming up.
- 0:56Speaker 2: But first we're gonna hear from head coach Doug Peterson.
- 0:59Speaker 2: After the game I mentioned play calling brought up once again.
- 1:02Speaker 2: Here's it. Doug Peterson had to say, there, kids, you take.
- 1:07Speaker 3: The headset over.
- 1:08Speaker 4: Just change this thing up for what I thought he'd
- 1:11Speaker 4: called a great game. We as coaches, we can't make
- 1:16Speaker 4: the we can't go out there and make the plays right.
- 1:17Speaker 4: It's a two way street. So you know, you guys
- 1:21Speaker 4: can sit here and point the finger all you want,
- 1:23Speaker 4: and that's fine. Point it right at me. I can
- 1:24Speaker 4: take it. Okay, I can take it. So whatever you
- 1:30Speaker 4: want to ask me, say whatever, right, go ahead.
- 1:33Speaker 5: You can. You can tell us at your introductory news
- 1:35Speaker 5: conference a couple of years ago.
- 1:36Speaker 3: You know, if it's not working, if it's not in rhythm,
- 1:39Speaker 3: whether it's your plays or not, that you've end off
- 1:42Speaker 3: the play calling.
- 1:43Speaker 6: I mean, it's it just one of those Maybe it's
- 1:45Speaker 6: just a voice confidence you guys were cooking when you
- 1:48Speaker 6: were doing.
- 1:48Speaker 3: It's been look back in twenty two.
- 1:52Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, okay, I'll take it into consideration.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Tense situation there. Let's get things going. We've got the
- 1:58Speaker 2: Hall of Famer in here, Tony Boselli with me to day,
- 2:00Speaker 2: and of course CBS Sports senior writer Pete Prisco. If
- 2:02Speaker 2: you guys haven't been in for a couple of weeks.
- 2:04Speaker 2: We didn't have a show last week after Monday night football.
- 2:06Speaker 2: So I know you all have a lot to say,
- 2:09Speaker 2: so when I see the floor to you, I want
- 2:11Speaker 2: to hear your thoughts.
- 2:12Speaker 3: Kai kai kaka, I have a lot to say. Pete,
- 2:16Speaker 3: I know you have a lot to say. As we
- 2:17Speaker 3: were talking back and forth, I mean, I think you
- 2:21Speaker 3: got to start with just the press conference. We'll start
- 2:24Speaker 3: there because it leads to a bunch of other things.
- 2:26Speaker 3: I mean, number one, you're own four and I would
- 2:28Speaker 3: say this, I think this is the longest start to
- 2:31Speaker 3: a season that I can ever remember as a Jaguar. Now,
- 2:35Speaker 3: maybe when I was playing so but let's say post
- 2:37Speaker 3: playing queer. Because listen, we've been through some bad seasons here,
- 2:41Speaker 3: bad football. But there was expectations this year set by
- 2:45Speaker 3: the owner first and foremost. You know, everyone in the building.
- 2:48Speaker 3: You know it's one of the better teams we've had,
- 2:51Speaker 3: so on and so forth. We can talk about that
- 2:52Speaker 3: maybe if we want to, But bottom line, there's expectations
- 2:56Speaker 3: in my expectations where this would be a team that
- 2:58Speaker 3: come December would be fighting for the division championship against
- 3:02Speaker 3: the Houston Texans. And at zero to four, I think
- 3:07Speaker 3: the high total is what twenty points by the offense, defense,
- 3:11Speaker 3: struggles to get off the field, get pressure. They're not
- 3:13Speaker 3: good on third down. Offensively, that's not good on third down.
- 3:17Speaker 3: And I think yesterday what you saw from Doug Peterson
- 3:21Speaker 3: was the accumulation of frustration. And I don't think he
- 3:25Speaker 3: handled it great. Like I think, like the last thing
- 3:29Speaker 3: you want to do is to even if it's just perception,
- 3:33Speaker 3: to make the perception to be that you're blaming the players.
- 3:37Speaker 3: And if you go on X and listen to all
- 3:39Speaker 3: the fans and all the talking boys, national media as well,
- 3:43Speaker 3: it was Doug blaming the players that it's not press,
- 3:46Speaker 3: it's not him, it's the players. And I know Doug
- 3:49Speaker 3: didn't That's not what he was trying to communicate. He
- 3:52Speaker 3: was trying to say, like, listen, it's a two way street.
- 3:54Speaker 3: Both sides have to do their job and we got
- 3:55Speaker 3: to execute. And it's such a hot topic around here.
- 4:01Speaker 3: You know who's calling place. No, he did, I'm saying,
- 4:05Speaker 3: I don't think that's what he I don't think that
- 4:07Speaker 3: was his intention. Absolutely, Pete, that's what came out. I'm
- 4:09Speaker 3: not disagreeing. I don't think he handled it right. I
- 4:12Speaker 3: think you saw a frustrated emotional head coach. I don't
- 4:16Speaker 3: think the questions were unfair by the media. I mean,
- 4:19Speaker 3: my goodness, Doug should be used to it. He came
- 4:21Speaker 3: from Philly. I mean, the Northeast media.
- 4:24Speaker 5: Is brutal, much more brutal.
- 4:26Speaker 3: Than anything down here. But the thing that drives me
- 4:30Speaker 3: creating this whole play calling, Can we just settle it now?
- 4:33Speaker 3: Press Taylor's been calling play since twenty twenty two.
- 4:36Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think he reacted.
- 4:39Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been calling it from the beginning, and so like,
- 4:42Speaker 3: why say that then? I don't know, Pete, I agree
- 4:45Speaker 3: with you. I don't think it was handled properly. And like,
- 4:48Speaker 3: that's why I kind of chuckled when Brent was asking
- 4:51Speaker 3: the questions that it was cooking when you were calling.
- 4:53Speaker 3: I'm like that that's not that's revision is history. When
- 4:57Speaker 3: they went on the run, Press, this was calling plays
- 5:01Speaker 3: when they were eight and three. Last year, Press was
- 5:04Speaker 3: calling plays, And so like this whole thing, whether it's Press,
- 5:08Speaker 3: Doug great, like, can we just throw that aside? The
- 5:11Speaker 3: bottom line is you can have issues with the play calling,
- 5:14Speaker 3: and I have issues with some of the strategy and
- 5:16Speaker 3: some of the things we do. I mean Pete does
- 5:18Speaker 3: as well. I mean, it's easy for us to do
- 5:20Speaker 3: it too after the fact, looking back, saying well, I'd
- 5:23Speaker 3: have done this, I'd have done that. Whatever, that's what
- 5:25Speaker 3: we do in the NFL. But at the end of
- 5:28Speaker 3: the day, they're not playing good football. They're not playing
- 5:32Speaker 3: good football, they're not playing winning football on defense. I
- 5:34Speaker 3: don't care. Everyone says, well, they've only given up so
- 5:36Speaker 3: many points, blah blah blah. Okay, great, get off the
- 5:38Speaker 3: field again. We got crushed in the time of possession
- 5:44Speaker 3: first half. They were on the field the entire first half.
- 5:47Speaker 3: Once again, zero created turnovers by the defense. We were
- 5:52Speaker 3: gifted seven points by the young punt returner. I mean,
- 5:56Speaker 3: the bottom line is it's not good enough. The players
- 6:00Speaker 3: aren't playing well enough, the coaches aren't coaching well enough.
- 6:04Speaker 3: The GM isn't doing a good enough job. I mean it,
- 6:06Speaker 3: like I'm a big believer, you win together and you
- 6:10Speaker 3: lose together. And now, if I'm going to default to
- 6:14Speaker 3: point the finger at one group more than any other,
- 6:17Speaker 3: I always start with the players. I think this is
- 6:19Speaker 3: the players league. It's on us as players. We want
- 6:22Speaker 3: all the we get paid a lot of money. It's
- 6:25Speaker 3: about us. We play the game. When we win, we
- 6:28Speaker 3: should get the credit most of it, and when we lose,
- 6:30Speaker 3: we should get most of the blame. Guys have to
- 6:33Speaker 3: make plays. That game yesterday we should have won. We said, oh,
- 6:38Speaker 3: we should have won Miami. We should have won Cleveland,
- 6:40Speaker 3: Oka't you talked about Buffalo that was ugly, But here's
- 6:44Speaker 3: the problem. We didn't.
- 6:46Speaker 5: So guess what you are.
- 6:47Speaker 3: You're an zero to fourteen because if you like, yes,
- 6:51Speaker 3: plays are out there to be made, but you gotta
- 6:53Speaker 3: make him and we're not doing it right now. And
- 6:56Speaker 3: the only way to change is you better get back
- 6:58Speaker 3: to the practice field and better changement and change what
- 7:00Speaker 3: you're doing and get better, because right now you're not
- 7:03Speaker 3: a very good football team.
- 7:05Speaker 5: All right, let me first start by what Doug said yesterday.
- 7:09Speaker 5: He's created this entire problem for himself by never saying
- 7:13Speaker 5: who the play caller was.
- 7:15Speaker 3: It started last year. Whoever leaked this last year, Like
- 7:18Speaker 3: I don't even know why he became a story ever, Right.
- 7:24Speaker 7: He could have put it in the bed before this season
- 7:26Speaker 7: is going to call it.
- 7:27Speaker 5: Instead, he's all coy about it, and it comes off,
- 7:30Speaker 5: it comes off as sophomoric. Let's put it that way.
- 7:33Speaker 5: By saying doing it the way they're doing it. So
- 7:35Speaker 5: then he's asked the question after the game rightfully so,
- 7:38Speaker 5: by the way, and he blames the players the players
- 7:43Speaker 5: as any leader and any coach in any business. Tony,
- 7:46Speaker 5: you work in business. You guys have bosses. You know
- 7:50Speaker 5: that you can't go in and blame the employees, and
- 7:53Speaker 5: you just can't. You got to take accountability. It's all
- 7:56Speaker 5: of us. I'm responsible. Where responsible? Instead said we're doing
- 8:01Speaker 5: our job, they're not doing theirs.
- 8:02Speaker 7: It's basically what he said. And I don't.
- 8:04Speaker 5: I asked if the locker room was open today, because
- 8:06Speaker 5: if I was on that beat today, I'd be in
- 8:08Speaker 5: there asking every damn player if he felt he was responsible.
- 8:10Speaker 5: And he's to blame like this coach has blamed him
- 8:12Speaker 5: because that's what he did. So bad, look there, bad
- 8:15Speaker 5: look But let's get back to the football. The roster
- 8:18Speaker 5: isn't very good right now. Must be real.
- 8:21Speaker 7: You know you want to point the blame, Tony. You
- 8:22Speaker 7: said you want to blame the players. You can blame
- 8:24Speaker 7: the players all you want. It's not a great roster,
- 8:26Speaker 7: so start at the top.
- 8:27Speaker 5: The drafts haven't been great when you look at it
- 8:30Speaker 5: from top to bottom. Where's the where are the top
- 8:34Speaker 5: fifteen players in the league in each position. Do you
- 8:36Speaker 5: have any Yeah, maybe one or two. It's just not
- 8:39Speaker 5: a good roster. And so it starts with the general matter.
- 8:42Speaker 5: It starts with the personnel department. Then you want to
- 8:44Speaker 5: trickle it down. I have a ton of things to
- 8:47Speaker 5: get in with the offense, and then you go to
- 8:49Speaker 5: the players. I'm gonna sit here and say it right now.
- 8:51Speaker 5: I've been a big defender of Trevor Lawrence. Some's not
- 8:53Speaker 5: right there. It's just not right. He has to hit
- 8:57Speaker 5: those open shots. He has to hit him. Those are
- 9:00Speaker 5: easy throws. He made the right lead, he made the
- 9:03Speaker 5: right decision. You have to hit those.
- 9:06Speaker 3: Be Let me before you go in.
- 9:08Speaker 5: Let me.
- 9:08Speaker 3: I want to make sure you're not we're on the
- 9:10Speaker 3: same page. When I say blame the players, it's not
- 9:13Speaker 3: even blame. It's the player's responsibility. Like I'm not I'm
- 9:17Speaker 3: not going to disagree with you. Because we could go
- 9:19Speaker 3: through and say, how many top five players that their
- 9:22Speaker 3: position do we have on this team, how the top ten,
- 9:24Speaker 3: how many top fifteen, and so on and so forth.
- 9:25Speaker 3: We could do that, and it probably is not going
- 9:28Speaker 3: to be a lot of fun to do. However, when
- 9:31Speaker 3: I say it's the player's responsibility because you're not changing
- 9:34Speaker 3: the roster. This is not like fantasy football or like, hey,
- 9:37Speaker 3: let's go make fifty trades and rebuild our roster. The
- 9:41Speaker 3: team is what it is. There is nowhere to go
- 9:44Speaker 3: to go get new guys. Maybe a trade.
- 9:48Speaker 7: Here or there.
- 9:49Speaker 3: Maybe how often does that really happen in the NFL.
- 9:52Speaker 3: This isn't Major League Baseball or the NBA where you
- 9:54Speaker 3: can do some trade in the middle of season and
- 9:56Speaker 3: changing for it. It doesn't work that way. And so, Pete,
- 9:59Speaker 3: my point was, we can talk about the structure in
- 10:04Speaker 3: the building of this roster, and I know you and
- 10:06Speaker 3: I have strong opinions about that, but I'm speaking here
- 10:10Speaker 3: and now you have thirteen more games, and Ky, you
- 10:14Speaker 3: know this. They're gonna play thirteen more games. They are
- 10:17Speaker 3: they Are they canceling anything? Ky, Are they giving us
- 10:20Speaker 3: a week off?
- 10:21Speaker 5: No?
- 10:22Speaker 3: And so how do you fix it from here? Coaches
- 10:25Speaker 3: need to coach better. Absolutely, maybe you need to change
- 10:28Speaker 3: tweak this or that. But it's the player's responsibility, Pete.
- 10:32Speaker 3: You just said it. They had two home run shots.
- 10:36Speaker 3: By the way, who.
- 10:37Speaker 2: Called those plays exactly?
- 10:39Speaker 3: Press Taylor? Did he get those guys wide open Pete. Yeah,
- 10:45Speaker 3: and should those have been touchdowns?
- 10:47Speaker 5: Yes?
- 10:47Speaker 3: Do you win the game if you hit those two
- 10:49Speaker 3: kill shots?
- 10:50Speaker 5: Yes, most likely, and they may also probably. You also
- 10:53Speaker 5: probably win the game if you're play calling on the
- 10:57Speaker 5: goal line after getting down to the three yard Okay.
- 10:59Speaker 3: Let's talk about that pe because I watched the tape.
- 11:01Speaker 7: I watched the tape too.
- 11:02Speaker 3: I watched the tape first the tank, Tank runs what
- 11:05Speaker 3: fifty nine yards was over?
- 11:06Speaker 8: And the.
- 11:08Speaker 3: Timeout? Okay, here's the player we're showing right here. I
- 11:11Speaker 3: heard all this last night in the bus the plane.
- 11:14Speaker 3: Twitter wise, Tank not getting arrest. Why don't you sub
- 11:17Speaker 3: in ETN they didn't do it? Whatever, I'm not gonna
- 11:20Speaker 3: even argue that, because it's hard to argue one way
- 11:23Speaker 3: why they didn't. Tank lined up Pete on second on
- 11:26Speaker 3: first down and had a nice run. He got three yards,
- 11:30Speaker 3: almost ran.
- 11:31Speaker 7: He ran over Anton Harrison who was on the ground.
- 11:34Speaker 5: Okay, that's fine, but it was in good If Trevor
- 11:36Speaker 5: kept it, it probably would have been a touchdown.
- 11:37Speaker 3: But my point is it was a nice cut. He
- 11:39Speaker 3: did not look like he was gassed. He got down
- 11:42Speaker 3: basically to the one yard line. Okay, now, we're on
- 11:44Speaker 3: the one second and one. They call it zone read.
- 11:49Speaker 3: Our right guard is in a two point stance with
- 11:51Speaker 3: everyone else in the three point stance. Maybe it's because
- 11:53Speaker 3: the silent count. He had to move it because it
- 11:55Speaker 3: was loud, because we're in a shotgun. I'm not whatever.
- 11:58Speaker 3: I think you should be in a three point but
- 12:00Speaker 3: I'm not questioning whatever. I never played guard, but what
- 12:03Speaker 3: I do, because it's on the tape. He got absolutely
- 12:06Speaker 3: blown up. And guess what in that situation, when you're
- 12:11Speaker 3: on the one, everyone is taught as an offensive lineman,
- 12:15Speaker 3: take care of the down guy. Now, if that guy's
- 12:19Speaker 3: a run through guy, maybe you have to get off quick.
- 12:21Speaker 3: He was not. We got blown up, thrown so far
- 12:26Speaker 3: down into the A gap that we never even got
- 12:28Speaker 3: to the linebacker and the three technique slicing and blowing
- 12:31Speaker 3: the whole thing up. If if Anton and Brandon double
- 12:36Speaker 3: team that guy and take him to the linebacker, tank
- 12:40Speaker 3: walks in so like, I agree, I would call it differently.
- 12:46Speaker 3: What I would want to do. I like big people
- 12:48Speaker 3: in that situation go jam it up. But Pete, you
- 12:51Speaker 3: should not say a dang word because you are mister
- 12:53Speaker 3: spread it out on the goal line and you say
- 12:56Speaker 3: it every week, and that's what they did, and if
- 12:58Speaker 3: it's blocked effectively, that's what they do. They walk in correct.
- 13:03Speaker 7: But if you maybe if you had a fresh running back.
- 13:06Speaker 3: I don't care if you had Earl Tempbell there, there's
- 13:07Speaker 3: three guys.
- 13:10Speaker 5: They wrote take guys in and out like like it's
- 13:12Speaker 5: a hockey team on both teams.
- 13:13Speaker 3: I agree with that. I'm not, but you're missing the
- 13:17Speaker 3: point I'm making.
- 13:18Speaker 7: Tank walking in okay, but Triff didn't make the block
- 13:21Speaker 7: because he's.
- 13:21Speaker 5: Not good enough.
- 13:23Speaker 3: But does that play calling? I'm asking a question you're
- 13:27Speaker 3: just answered yesterday.
- 13:28Speaker 7: Question does it play right position?
- 13:32Speaker 5: And he's not very good rooting out people in the
- 13:35Speaker 5: run game, which he's not, Why would you run right there?
- 13:39Speaker 2: Or fourth down?
- 13:40Speaker 5: Well?
- 13:40Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't love the fourth down? Uh draw
- 13:46Speaker 3: play listen. It almost felt like we were copying the
- 13:49Speaker 3: Bills because the Bills didn't gainst us. It worked, but
- 13:51Speaker 3: the Bills play a lot of empty. How often are
- 13:54Speaker 3: we and empty?
- 13:55Speaker 7: And Lukh's getting destroyed in that play.
- 13:57Speaker 3: I understand that it was funny Pete on in the booth.
- 14:01Speaker 3: As soon as they gotten empty, you know what Lock said?
- 14:04Speaker 3: Locks said the running quarterback draw.
- 14:05Speaker 2: I think we cut on the broadcast too.
- 14:07Speaker 3: Yeah, I think because they never get empty. They didn't
- 14:11Speaker 3: fool anybody. No one was rushing the passer and we
- 14:13Speaker 3: got blown up.
- 14:14Speaker 5: So okay, and then wait for getting third down when
- 14:17Speaker 5: one of their free agents that they paid money for
- 14:20Speaker 5: should have caught the touchdown in the back of the
- 14:22Speaker 5: end zone, and then it's all a move point.
- 14:24Speaker 3: There's another point, is that play calling.
- 14:26Speaker 5: Pete, No, that's not play call.
- 14:28Speaker 3: Okay, So like that's what fairness to him?
- 14:31Speaker 7: The play that they designed didn't get anybody open.
- 14:33Speaker 5: He had to like run to the rams clear across
- 14:35Speaker 5: the other side to try and get opens.
- 14:39Speaker 3: I get that, but how hard is it to get
- 14:40Speaker 3: guys wide open in the tight, tight red zone.
- 14:44Speaker 5: It's hard, It's hard.
- 14:45Speaker 7: But he was I mean, he should have caught the ball,
- 14:47Speaker 7: So give them and think about that.
- 14:49Speaker 5: If he catches the ball, game and the quarterback walks
- 14:53Speaker 5: off with three touchdown passes and the narrative is entirely different.
- 14:58Speaker 3: But that's the league. That's the NFL. The difference is
- 15:02Speaker 3: teams that win make the plays when you have.
- 15:06Speaker 2: To just a couple of plays and not making mistakes.
- 15:08Speaker 7: I got a hold.
- 15:10Speaker 2: I know you do.
- 15:10Speaker 5: I wrote down from that, I.
- 15:12Speaker 3: Get the breakdown. We can't do what we do the
- 15:14Speaker 3: JP where we just bullym Kai is like she's a professional.
- 15:18Speaker 5: JP's not. Well, I'm here for.

- 15:37Speaker 3: Moones I saw I.
- 15:42Speaker 8: Have to watch it. You know, both both felt good
- 15:46Speaker 8: coming out and obviously just missed it. You know, guys
- 15:48Speaker 8: at a good job today. Have getting opened. You know,
- 15:50Speaker 8: they've played a lot of man coverage, which is something
- 15:53Speaker 8: you know, as an offense that you like to see.
- 15:55Speaker 8: You get your players have a chance to go win
- 15:56Speaker 8: one on ones and as a quarterback you get to
- 15:58Speaker 8: go you know for the wall out field at times.
- 16:01Speaker 8: So uh yeah, it was just just missed a few.
- 16:06Speaker 2: It's a quarterback, Trevor Lawrence chiming in after the game,
- 16:09Speaker 2: a couple of misthrows, two big ones, one to Christian Kirk,
- 16:11Speaker 2: one to Brian Thomas Junior. You guys, we Treuvor's gonna
- 16:15Speaker 2: be here for a while. I signed a big, long
- 16:16Speaker 2: term deal. He's not looking great right now. How do
- 16:19Speaker 2: we fix the situation? Pete? Do you have any idea?
- 16:22Speaker 3: So I'm laughing because I like it. He's gonna be
- 16:24Speaker 3: here for a while. Yes, when you get that, when
- 16:25Speaker 3: you get two hundred and seventy five.
- 16:26Speaker 2: Billion dollars, that's not one of the changes we're gonna say, not.
- 16:29Speaker 3: Like he's your quarterback and I'll let Pete wagh in
- 16:33Speaker 3: here in two seconds. I'm just gonna say this. He's
- 16:35Speaker 3: not playing well. He's not playing well enough. I'm still
- 16:39Speaker 3: a believer.
- 16:40Speaker 2: Though he has the ability.
- 16:42Speaker 3: It's what it's more than just their ability, because a
- 16:44Speaker 3: lot of guys have the ability. I think he has
- 16:46Speaker 3: the overall makeup to be the guy. I just don't
- 16:51Speaker 3: think he's ready right now that just to hand him
- 16:54Speaker 3: the football and like put it all on him, and
- 16:57Speaker 3: I think that goes to a longer conversation of the
- 17:00Speaker 3: structure and how we play now, I liked it much
- 17:05Speaker 3: better yesterday. We wish for like one fifty eight or
- 17:08Speaker 3: something like that. Yeah, and I think you got to
- 17:11Speaker 3: get Biggs by going more and more I said at
- 17:14Speaker 3: the beginning of the year, and people made, you know,
- 17:16Speaker 3: took shots at me. I think Pete was one of them.
- 17:18Speaker 3: I think Bigsby is the better true running back as
- 17:21Speaker 3: far as running, especially between the tackles. I think Etn
- 17:24Speaker 3: has more shifting as better in the past game. And
- 17:26Speaker 3: so I think you got to get Biggs by going more.
- 17:29Speaker 2: Yeah, Tank had seven attempts ninety yards team, he's.
- 17:32Speaker 3: A guy, get fifteen. He needs fifteen plus attempts a
- 17:35Speaker 3: game running the ball.
- 17:37Speaker 7: Should he be the number? Should he be starting?
- 17:40Speaker 3: And in your regular Yeah, first second down. I think
- 17:43Speaker 3: he's Pete. Don't you think he's a better pure running back.
- 17:47Speaker 5: He's become a better runner. He was much better now.
- 17:50Speaker 5: He's much better now than he was. But yeah, I would, yes,
- 17:55Speaker 5: And though I think they're different, but oh they're different.
- 17:57Speaker 3: I'm not is a big part of the off still.
- 18:00Speaker 5: But Tony, it goes back to and nobody plays just
- 18:03Speaker 5: one running back in all but it goes back to
- 18:07Speaker 5: goes back to when I talk about personnel. One of
- 18:11Speaker 5: them used the first round pick on and he's a
- 18:14Speaker 5: part time player.
- 18:16Speaker 3: Well guess what.
- 18:17Speaker 5: And by the way, my and my thing that I
- 18:19Speaker 5: told you beforehand when we were talking, I went back
- 18:21Speaker 5: and watched the play.
- 18:22Speaker 7: The second play of the game, Deannis Johnson was in the.
- 18:24Speaker 3: Game something, maybe something happened earlier than that we don't
- 18:30Speaker 3: know about. Maybe he got hurt before.
- 18:33Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know. I didn't the first play because
- 18:35Speaker 5: he kind of like it was a he kind of
- 18:37Speaker 5: like Dovid. I didn't hit him.
- 18:38Speaker 3: But yeah, because I assume Pete he got hurt when
- 18:40Speaker 3: he got blown up, but I don't know that. No
- 18:42Speaker 3: one told me that, So maybe he was nursing something
- 18:45Speaker 3: the game.
- 18:46Speaker 5: They were just they just called in the hockey line,
- 18:48Speaker 5: you're in, get over the boards.
- 18:50Speaker 2: You're playing that sometimes.
- 18:51Speaker 3: I don't know if you haven't figured out yet. But
- 18:53Speaker 3: Pete does not like our substitution patterns.
- 18:55Speaker 2: I do. I'm not sure I understand it either.
- 18:59Speaker 3: On defense at all, right, and that is offense are
- 19:01Speaker 3: pretty consistent. I mean, like most teams.
- 19:03Speaker 5: Yeah, usually all offensively they do they're okay, but defensively,
- 19:07Speaker 5: I don't get it at all.
- 19:08Speaker 7: I mean, we had to and we're gonna go back
- 19:10Speaker 7: to the Buffalo game.
- 19:11Speaker 5: I'll just remind you some of the things I wrote
- 19:12Speaker 5: down there was there was a series right out of
- 19:15Speaker 5: the gate where they had the backup linebackers in the
- 19:18Speaker 5: game right out of the gate. And then last this
- 19:21Speaker 5: past week, one first down and the starting defensive line
- 19:25Speaker 5: off they go one first. It was three plays, Tony.
- 19:28Speaker 5: Have you ever been tired after three plays in your life?
- 19:30Speaker 3: No? Well, I played a position where you played every
- 19:32Speaker 3: snap correct and by the way, and I've we've said
- 19:35Speaker 3: this on the show, and the guys that were the
- 19:38Speaker 3: top of their game, they played every snap on defense.
- 19:42Speaker 5: Or of them Max Crosby, he still does the well.
- 19:48Speaker 3: I looked out there at one point. Now this was
- 19:49Speaker 3: because the injury to Josh Allen, Heinz Allen, which we
- 19:52Speaker 3: can talk about because this team has zero depth at
- 19:55Speaker 3: the end, a true d end.
- 19:57Speaker 2: Yeah, we saw was Roy out there a little bit too.
- 20:00Speaker 3: At one point when the game is like in the
- 20:02Speaker 3: like in question. Their rush package was Eric Armstead at end,
- 20:13Speaker 3: any rush at end at all, Roy Robinson Harris at
- 20:16Speaker 3: end ledbetter and I believe it was Mason Smith.
- 20:21Speaker 5: Who actually flashed in that game.
- 20:23Speaker 3: And then they rotated and they put Armstead inside and
- 20:25Speaker 3: brought Abdullah that's the other rusher. And I'm like, no one,
- 20:30Speaker 3: I mean, CJ just sat back there. There was no
- 20:33Speaker 3: pressure at the end of the game.
- 20:34Speaker 5: When you have all that group right there, and it's
- 20:36Speaker 5: not even with when hinds Allen's on the field, it's
- 20:39Speaker 5: not an explosive group.
- 20:41Speaker 7: Their power put Josh Allen is behinds Allen.
- 20:44Speaker 5: He's a good player and he's getting pressures and he
- 20:46Speaker 5: and he and he did some good things, but he's
- 20:49Speaker 5: not an explosive edge rusher. And Trayvon Walker is not
- 20:52Speaker 5: an explosive edge rusher. Then you put Armstead in there.
- 20:55Speaker 5: He should be playing three technique. But I don't want
- 20:57Speaker 5: to be a defensive end, so they're going to allow
- 20:59Speaker 5: me to play defense. That's why I signed my contract here.
- 21:01Speaker 5: I don't get it.
- 21:02Speaker 7: I just don't get any of it. It makes no
- 21:04Speaker 7: sense to me.
- 21:05Speaker 2: They're getting a lot of play from some of these
- 21:08Speaker 2: younger players too, because while he's rotating everybody in now
- 21:10Speaker 2: with all the injuries on defense, we saw it, Excuse me,
- 21:13Speaker 2: we saw a lot more from Ventrel Miller. Monterak Brown's
- 21:15Speaker 2: out there a ton. Now what's your analysis of some
- 21:18Speaker 2: of those guys.
- 21:18Speaker 3: Well, I'll say this, the two best players on defense
- 21:22Speaker 3: in my opinion on Sunday were Monterak Brown and Ventro Miller.
- 21:26Speaker 5: Yes, yes, those are two best players on the field.
- 21:29Speaker 3: I mean, as far as performance, I agree with you.
- 21:31Speaker 3: Before Josh got hurt, Josh is Josh is good every
- 21:35Speaker 3: I mean, he is physical, he's good against the run,
- 21:38Speaker 3: he pushes the pocket, he gets pressure. I'd like him
- 21:42Speaker 3: to see him get a little bit more on the
- 21:43Speaker 3: edge more often. But he won a couple times immediately
- 21:47Speaker 3: and the ball was gone before you even get there,
- 21:49Speaker 3: and so there's nothing he can do about that. But
- 21:52Speaker 3: so we know he's we know who Josh he's probably.
- 21:55Speaker 3: I mean, he's the best player on the team right now.
- 21:58Speaker 3: Join Zound's the best player the team.
- 22:00Speaker 5: And if you had a speed guy on the other
- 22:02Speaker 5: side who could provide, you would see him getting a
- 22:05Speaker 5: guy who could win up the field and push the
- 22:07Speaker 5: quarterback toward him. He'd get a lot more sacks coming
- 22:10Speaker 5: at him because he's such a power player.
- 22:12Speaker 3: But in Sunday's game, Ventro Miller. I mean he had
- 22:17Speaker 3: a couple coverage issues at times, like he could see
- 22:20Speaker 3: in his in some of his drops, it looked like
- 22:22Speaker 3: it was a little off. I'm not an expert on that,
- 22:23Speaker 3: but talking to Jeff, that's what it looked.
- 22:27Speaker 5: Like to me.
- 22:29Speaker 3: But as far as they just playing with speed and aggressiveness,
- 22:33Speaker 3: I mean he made like I felt like he made
- 22:35Speaker 3: every tackle.
- 22:36Speaker 2: And just had brought a little pop. It felt like
- 22:38Speaker 2: he brought energy.
- 22:39Speaker 3: He brought energy out there. And then Montery Brown kudos
- 22:43Speaker 3: is the kid. I mean, he's played. He Tyson Campbell
- 22:47Speaker 3: gets hurt, he comes into the starter and I remember thinking, like,
- 22:51Speaker 3: what's going to happen here? He's the best corner on
- 22:54Speaker 3: the team right now.
- 22:55Speaker 2: I'm with you.
- 22:56Speaker 3: I mean he's physical too. He's not a big guy.
- 22:58Speaker 3: He comes up and stick his head in there and
- 23:00Speaker 3: makes tackle. I saw something that he had like all
- 23:03Speaker 3: these breakups again this week, and like the quarterbacks completion
- 23:08Speaker 3: percentage when they went towards him was terrible. I'm highly
- 23:12Speaker 3: impressed with both those guys. I think they've played really
- 23:14Speaker 3: good football. It's positive.
- 23:16Speaker 5: Yeah, me too. But okay, you mentioned Ventre Miller because
- 23:18Speaker 5: I before I watch the tape. I saw, you know,
- 23:20Speaker 5: I watched the game, but I wanted to watch and
- 23:21Speaker 5: I saw all the you mentioned the past past defense.
- 23:25Speaker 5: There are things like I'll give you example, the shot
- 23:28Speaker 5: to Schultz in the middle of the field. I think
- 23:30Speaker 5: it was he was he kind of took a step
- 23:32Speaker 5: to the left and he's got to stay there and
- 23:34Speaker 5: get a little.
- 23:35Speaker 3: Dep But do you think those are things he'll figure
- 23:37Speaker 3: out as he plays correct?
- 23:39Speaker 7: Correct?
- 23:40Speaker 5: But he got he was aggressive, he thumped, he came up.
- 23:43Speaker 5: He made plays in the backfield. When was the last
- 23:45Speaker 5: time you saw linebackers making plays in the backfield like that?
- 23:48Speaker 5: I mean that that.
- 23:49Speaker 7: I agree, Tony. So what do you do?
- 23:50Speaker 5: What's your what? What do you do?
- 23:52Speaker 3: I don't think I don't take him off the field, So.
- 23:55Speaker 5: Who says out for four more weeks? So you don't
- 23:59Speaker 5: ben he was back, Let's just let's spin it forward.
- 24:01Speaker 3: If he's back right now based on play, I don't
- 24:04Speaker 3: like the decision you're making. Is Foyer or Devon It's
- 24:09Speaker 3: not I mean it's not or Muma. It's like Ventrel
- 24:12Speaker 3: is the that getting Now it's a small sample side,
- 24:15Speaker 3: So let's see him do it multiple weeks in a row.
- 24:17Speaker 5: Right, But just if we're.
- 24:19Speaker 3: Just gauging it from what we've seen, he's he gives
- 24:24Speaker 3: you something no one else has, which is speed and thump.
- 24:28Speaker 3: Now Devon has thump, but he's not can't run like Ventrarew.
- 24:34Speaker 5: You saw him trying to chase Dalton Kinkaid and Buffalo.
- 24:36Speaker 5: He can't cover him.
- 24:37Speaker 3: You can't. Uh, Foyer is the smartest player on our
- 24:40Speaker 3: team as far as like knowing everywhere, and so he's
- 24:44Speaker 3: always in the right position. So it makes him play
- 24:46Speaker 3: even faster than he probably is. And so I don't
- 24:49Speaker 3: know how you take Foyer off the field when he's healthy,
- 24:51Speaker 3: because I think he's your Like I didn't understand why
- 24:54Speaker 3: they were rotating him.
- 24:55Speaker 2: But here's the thing is, like I completely understand your conversation,
- 24:58Speaker 2: and normal linebacking group, they would play a lot of
- 25:00Speaker 2: those places the way they rotate them.
- 25:03Speaker 3: Which I disagree with one thousand. I do not think.
- 25:06Speaker 3: I don't, I mean I would, Like I'm not a
- 25:08Speaker 3: defensive coordinator, never been one, but I played a lot
- 25:11Speaker 3: of football and been around the game a long time.
- 25:13Speaker 3: You don't take your best linebacker off the field, ever, No,
- 25:17Speaker 3: you just don't.
- 25:18Speaker 5: By the way, they better be careful. They're gonna get
- 25:21Speaker 5: called for too many men on the ice. The better
- 25:23Speaker 5: be really careful Andy with a shift change. Yeah, that's
- 25:28Speaker 5: what they always talk about, how they they're like a
- 25:30Speaker 5: hockey hockey team with the rotation, too many men on
- 25:32Speaker 5: the ice. Look as far as Ben trum Miller, here's
- 25:35Speaker 5: the interesting case scenario that they got a big They
- 25:37Speaker 5: got a team that comes in this week. They're pretty
- 25:39Speaker 5: physical upfront. We'll see how he does in the run
- 25:41Speaker 5: game against Jonathan Taylor. That's a good test for him, Tony, I.
- 25:43Speaker 3: Don't and they have a good offensive line. Yeah, they're physical,
- 25:47Speaker 3: they have a good back. Now he's nursing the high
- 25:50Speaker 3: mild high ankle sprain, but it sounds like he's gonna
- 25:52Speaker 3: play based on all the reports early.
- 25:53Speaker 7: So if he plays well, and is Lloyd gonna play
- 25:57Speaker 7: this week?
- 25:57Speaker 3: Does it sound like we don't know?
- 25:59Speaker 5: We haven't a people he plays, which who plays, who starts?
- 26:03Speaker 7: That's the question.
- 26:05Speaker 5: So Ventrel and Muma, well, now let's go back to
- 26:10Speaker 5: the personnel department again, because you trade it up to
- 26:13Speaker 5: go get that guy and he wouldn't be on the field.
- 26:17Speaker 7: What the hell?
- 26:19Speaker 5: What what the heck? You?
- 26:22Speaker 3: You? You and I could have a three hour show
- 26:27Speaker 3: on just some of the decisions from that standpoint. But
- 26:32Speaker 3: let's focus on what he what. Let's focus on what
- 26:34Speaker 3: they do they do this season?
- 26:36Speaker 7: Oh, I like focusing on all the I know. I'll
- 26:40Speaker 7: give you another one.
- 26:41Speaker 5: I watched the Jets yesterday. Quincy Williams is flying all
- 26:43Speaker 5: over the field. They could have kept him on the roster.
- 26:45Speaker 5: They had a draft and spend all the day of
- 26:47Speaker 5: money they've done on that line they've done on that
- 26:48Speaker 5: linebacker position. Bete.
- 26:51Speaker 3: It's hard to argue when we come back, though, because
- 26:54Speaker 3: we started this with a Trevor Lawrence clip. We need
- 26:56Speaker 3: to dig into the quarterback.
- 26:57Speaker 5: A little bit. I gotta talk about that her, about
- 27:00Speaker 5: that we went off with a team apologize.
- 27:02Speaker 7: We apologize to her, don't we like it?
- 27:04Speaker 3: We never ever apologize JP, because frankly, it's JP. It's JP.

- 27:33Speaker 6: Start worrying about.
- 27:34Speaker 5: Your stab at this point in.
- 27:38Speaker 4: My status, Yeah, after an own report start.
- 27:42Speaker 5: I mean no, I mean.
- 27:49Speaker 4: It's kind of a strange question, but okay, it's your.
- 27:53Speaker 2: Head coach Peterson weighing in on his job status after
- 27:57Speaker 2: the game. I need you to enjoy that, Peter Tony.
- 28:01Speaker 5: I saw the last night.
- 28:03Speaker 3: I don't know how you're supposed to answer that if
- 28:07Speaker 3: you're Doug.
- 28:07Speaker 2: It's a very awkward question.
- 28:08Speaker 3: And by the way, Pete, I think, like and I
- 28:14Speaker 3: I don't think that's the right question after like it's
- 28:17Speaker 3: too early for that. Like if you like, that's the
- 28:19Speaker 3: question when you're like one and seven or two and
- 28:22Speaker 3: six or you know, three and ten, I mean whatever,
- 28:26Speaker 3: but after four games, I just don't think that's the
- 28:30Speaker 3: right question.
- 28:32Speaker 7: That's why was that was that d Rock?
- 28:34Speaker 3: It was from ESPN, and I love d Rock, love
- 28:38Speaker 3: them and and it's a good comic relief because if
- 28:41Speaker 3: Doug's answer like just you didn't know what he's like okay,
- 28:46Speaker 3: But Pete, I mean you're you're a pro, You're a
- 28:48Speaker 3: pro media guy. I'm just an amateur media guy. I
- 28:52Speaker 3: mean it was is that a little early to ask
- 28:55Speaker 3: that question?
- 28:59Speaker 5: It's little to ask it that I would have done
- 29:01Speaker 5: it in a different way and my usual way to
- 29:03Speaker 5: get the answer I needed to get out of him.
- 29:06Speaker 5: What you say is there's a lot of chatter around
- 29:11Speaker 5: about your job security, and do you think it's something
- 29:16Speaker 5: you need to be worried about that way?
- 29:20Speaker 7: But but look, it's Tony, It's out there.
- 29:22Speaker 5: People are calling for his head. Let me.
- 29:26Speaker 7: Right, Is it early to be calling for his head?
- 29:29Speaker 5: Probably?
- 29:31Speaker 3: I think it's early.
- 29:32Speaker 5: I think their venom might be directed in the wrong place.
- 29:36Speaker 2: It is only a month. In gentlemen, it's a month.
- 29:39Speaker 3: It feels like it's like dog where should be directed
- 29:43Speaker 3: at the general manager?
- 29:47Speaker 5: He's been around through thick and thin and thick and thin,
- 29:52Speaker 5: and he's the guy. There's one constant it was, wasn't
- 29:56Speaker 5: he here.
- 29:57Speaker 7: With Doug Moreau?
- 29:58Speaker 5: Dave calledwell? Tom? Call urban Meyer?
- 30:02Speaker 3: He wasn't here with Tom. He was not here. Tom.
- 30:04Speaker 3: He was here, Dave and Doug he was no, he
- 30:08Speaker 3: was not I think he was I know he was.
- 30:11Speaker 3: I'll bet you, I'll bet you money. Tom got fired
- 30:14Speaker 3: the next year. The next year Dave Dave brought.
- 30:17Speaker 2: Him in what Peak fact check? Hold on one second, Okay, sorry,
- 30:20Speaker 2: we're gonna have to check in with the MVP at
- 30:22Speaker 2: the truck game. Better check out the twenty twenty four

- 30:42Speaker 3: the quarterback as you're fact checking. Maybe you can be
- 30:45Speaker 3: on the vice president debate later. You can fact check
- 30:48Speaker 3: that too.
- 30:49Speaker 2: Tony Actually have a question for you about him, because
- 30:52Speaker 2: I felt like the offensive line, I mean, as by
- 30:54Speaker 2: the eye test, I didn't see them being awful as
- 30:57Speaker 2: other points in the year we saw him being a problem.
- 30:59Speaker 2: I felt maybe this was their best game that we've
- 31:01Speaker 2: seen as a whole. But when you're trevor Or Trevor
- 31:04Speaker 2: Lawrence and you know maybe that they aren't, you've had
- 31:07Speaker 2: the issues with them in the past, does that get
- 31:08Speaker 2: in your head mentally? Does that affect that if you
- 31:11Speaker 2: play well, it's still in his head.
- 31:12Speaker 3: It shouldn't, but there's a cultive effect. I mean, the
- 31:16Speaker 3: first three games they were not good Buffalo, they were
- 31:19Speaker 3: just I think they had twenty one pressures if I'm
- 31:21Speaker 3: not mistaken, twenty twenty one, some big number. And so
- 31:26Speaker 3: guy gets hit too much, starts looking at the rush
- 31:29Speaker 3: a little bit, Ice come down. Yeah, that's a problem.
- 31:33Speaker 3: And so I don't think that was like I didn't
- 31:37Speaker 3: notice Trevor all over the place. I mean, he had
- 31:40Speaker 3: the one weird pirouette where he's running around.
- 31:44Speaker 2: I didn't know if some of the airmails are him,
- 31:46Speaker 2: like worried about that or it's just something out.
- 31:48Speaker 3: That's no excuse. Okay, he cannot have that excuse. As
- 31:51Speaker 3: far as the offensive link, I think you're right. I
- 31:53Speaker 3: thought it was their best game. They rushed for over
- 31:56Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty yards no sacks.
- 31:59Speaker 5: Yeah, was wrong. I was wrong. He was. He came
- 32:01Speaker 5: in twenty twenty ms. God okay, but let's so okay.
- 32:05Speaker 5: Let's then we'll eliminate Tom Caldwell Urban Urban Doug and
- 32:13Speaker 5: then right, that's done, and let's not forget Rick Spielman
- 32:20Speaker 5: was gonna come and he didn't come for a reason.
- 32:23Speaker 3: That's yeah, I got you.
- 32:25Speaker 7: I mean, I mean, look, you get it.
- 32:27Speaker 5: And so when you look at it, Tony, who's the
- 32:29Speaker 5: blame for the roster the person department.
- 32:32Speaker 3: That's the gas job. Yes, that's the job.
- 32:35Speaker 5: So if the venom is that Doug, it should be
- 32:38Speaker 5: just as more, if not even more, at the general manager.
- 32:42Speaker 3: Well, I think everyone's getting their equal due on X.
- 32:45Speaker 3: So I've seen everyone's name everyone. But but pet, let's
- 32:50Speaker 3: talk about Trevor, because Ki brought up a great point.
- 32:53Speaker 3: I mean, Trevor frankly was not very good. Now, you're right,
- 32:57Speaker 3: if Gabe Davis catches that ball's probably a different name arrative.
- 33:00Speaker 3: But I don't think the narrative changes. That he missed
- 33:04Speaker 3: two touchdowns that were wide open, and there was a
- 33:07Speaker 3: couple of balls that his receivers had to make acrobatic
- 33:11Speaker 3: catches for short gains. And now he made some really
- 33:16Speaker 3: nice throws too.
- 33:18Speaker 7: The touchdown, there's no reason you can't hit this one.
- 33:20Speaker 3: This is ridiculous, this one or that same one, the
- 33:25Speaker 3: same one, Yeah, the next one.
- 33:26Speaker 5: The Kirk, he's got to hit that.
- 33:29Speaker 3: The Kirk one was almost worse to me because he
- 33:31Speaker 3: was so open there was no safety over the top.
- 33:37Speaker 3: But Kyle was asking, is he see he? Is he
- 33:39Speaker 3: looking at the rush? Is that the problem? Because the
- 33:41Speaker 3: offensive line has not been good, but they were really
- 33:43Speaker 3: good on Sunday, No like, almost no pressure at all,
- 33:49Speaker 3: ran the ball. I mean, they did their job and
- 33:51Speaker 3: he should have operated. The Texans are playing man, I
- 33:54Speaker 3: mean he should have shredded them, and that he did not.
- 33:58Speaker 3: And he's just not playing good foot right now. He's
- 34:00Speaker 3: not playing good enough to win.
- 34:02Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 34:02Speaker 5: I think I think Buffalo he got a little shell
- 34:05Speaker 5: shocked up there. Yeah, yeah, I mean, and you know
- 34:09Speaker 5: the mechanics when he gets he's a long strider, and
- 34:12Speaker 5: so if you watch his mechanics when he gets mechanically
- 34:15Speaker 5: sped up, he starts throwing high passes and inaccurate, and
- 34:19Speaker 5: he's inaccurate. He's hurried up. And I think that carried
- 34:23Speaker 5: even though he didn't need to be on Sunday, Tony,
- 34:25Speaker 5: that kind of carries over when he like the one
- 34:28Speaker 5: to Kirk, that's a play action. Turned your body and
- 34:31Speaker 5: fire a shot down there where you give him a
- 34:33Speaker 5: little air and let him run under it. And mechanically
- 34:37Speaker 5: that's not you could tell he's not setting his feet
- 34:40Speaker 5: and there were moments where he's hopping. I just mechanically,
- 34:45Speaker 5: I think he's having problems another quarterback whisper or anything.
- 34:47Speaker 5: But he's a long strider and I think that's part
- 34:50Speaker 5: of the problem. You know, you mentioned the one. How
- 34:52Speaker 5: about the one on the sideline. This one was really
- 34:55Speaker 5: weird to me, the one on the side. And the
- 34:58Speaker 5: body language was terrible by Thomas too. He's running down
- 35:00Speaker 5: the right sideline.
- 35:03Speaker 3: Didn't give him a chance.
- 35:05Speaker 7: Well, he's gotta be able to eat.
- 35:07Speaker 5: That's gotta have a little air on it, because he
- 35:09Speaker 5: threw it like on a.
- 35:10Speaker 7: On a shot.
- 35:11Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right here, it's not it's did he turn
- 35:13Speaker 3: the right way? I don't know. I have no idea,
- 35:16Speaker 3: but the ball was out of bound. I mean it
- 35:17Speaker 3: was almost like.
- 35:19Speaker 7: And the body language look at it.
- 35:21Speaker 5: The body language is terrible and it's almost like you
- 35:24Speaker 5: can see his wide receivers and start. I didn't get
- 35:26Speaker 5: a little frustrated with him, which makes him, I think,
- 35:29Speaker 5: press even more. This ball has to be in the inside.
- 35:33Speaker 5: It's got to be to the inside there. It's just
- 35:35Speaker 5: a miss. And and they're they're missing too many the
- 35:40Speaker 5: receivers one on Sunday and didn't get the the you
- 35:44Speaker 5: know the passes. I think he sped up Buffalo. I'm
- 35:46Speaker 5: gonna criticize the receivers a little bit. He was getting well.
- 35:50Speaker 5: The offensive life was terrible. And you know what else
- 35:53Speaker 5: they do, Tony, when teams play z own and Buffalo
- 35:55Speaker 5: plays a lot a ton of zone, they run to
- 35:58Speaker 5: through the zone instead of sitting down, and they run
- 36:00Speaker 5: right into a man.
- 36:01Speaker 7: They're terrible at it, terrible And that's a problem.
- 36:06Speaker 3: What do you do with Trevor?
- 36:07Speaker 2: What?
- 36:07Speaker 3: What's the fixed? Pete? I got an idea, but I
- 36:11Speaker 3: want to hear yours first, because my guess is I'm
- 36:14Speaker 3: gonna disagree with whatever you say. But go ahead.
- 36:17Speaker 5: Why are you gonna disagree with me because I haven't.
- 36:22Speaker 7: You want to run the ball?
- 36:23Speaker 3: Pete's answer always kai is like spread it out, speed
- 36:26Speaker 3: it up, go fast, throw it around, get going. And
- 36:29Speaker 3: that's not the answer.
- 36:31Speaker 5: Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you something here, Okay,
- 36:33Speaker 5: Sam Donald, Right, I'm gonna use this. I'm gonna use this.
- 36:37Speaker 3: Sam Donald was it ok?
- 36:39Speaker 5: But he wasn't very good in his last couple of stops,
- 36:44Speaker 5: even though he's a Trojan and you.
- 36:45Speaker 3: Love him m VP candidate right now.
- 36:49Speaker 7: So on Sunday, yea, he is the m v P
- 36:51Speaker 7: right now.
- 36:52Speaker 5: And on Sunday the Packers sack him, sack and cause
- 36:56Speaker 5: the fumble, get it turned over. I saw your I
- 37:00Speaker 5: saw your twenty and all of a sudden, you look around.
- 37:03Speaker 5: You go, Sam Donald's becoming Sam Donald again. But what
- 37:06Speaker 5: does Kevin O'Connell do. He throws it six of the
- 37:10Speaker 5: next seven plays, they get a field goal, game over.
- 37:14Speaker 5: That's not the way Jacksonville want. They don't let that.
- 37:17Speaker 5: Let that happen twice, and then put him at third
- 37:21Speaker 5: and law pete.
- 37:21Speaker 3: This is my problem with your your comparison, Sam donal
- 37:25Speaker 3: Sam Donald. Sam Donald has been around and has been
- 37:29Speaker 3: beat the hell and he's had to learn the hard
- 37:31Speaker 3: way through multiple teams, people giving up on him. And
- 37:35Speaker 3: I think he's found the right situation. I always thought
- 37:37Speaker 3: he was a good player, and I was biased because
- 37:39Speaker 3: I'm an SC guy. And I think he's now in
- 37:42Speaker 3: a system with the head coach, in a place where
- 37:45Speaker 3: you know, going in not a ton of pressure because
- 37:47Speaker 3: everyone thought the rookie was going to be, you know,
- 37:49Speaker 3: the guy there. He had a great preseason where he
- 37:52Speaker 3: gets hurt and he's saying, hey, I'm gonna take advantage
- 37:54Speaker 3: of my shot, like it's almost I'm sure there's a
- 37:58Speaker 3: little bit of him feeling like I'm playing with house,
- 38:00Speaker 3: like no one thinks where I'm gonna do anything. Everyone
- 38:03Speaker 3: has labeled me as a first round bust. I can
- 38:06Speaker 3: just go play with freedom. I don't think Trevor's playing
- 38:09Speaker 3: with freedom. I think it looks like he has the
- 38:11Speaker 3: weight of the world on him. And so the last
- 38:14Speaker 3: thing I think you do when a guy is like that,
- 38:17Speaker 3: because I again, I believe in Trevor. I think he
- 38:19Speaker 3: is super talented. I think he has right mentality. I
- 38:22Speaker 3: think he wants to be good. I think he is pressing.
- 38:25Speaker 3: I think he is he's not confident, and I think
- 38:28Speaker 3: he's the weight of the world right now. Signed a
- 38:30Speaker 3: big deal, all the expectations, all the things going on,
- 38:34Speaker 3: and so I think you go the opposite. I'll be like, hey, listen,
- 38:38Speaker 3: just relax. We're gonna we're gonna run the ball, we're
- 38:41Speaker 3: gonna be physical, we're gonna play good field position football,
- 38:45Speaker 3: and you know we're gonna ask you to make some plays,
- 38:48Speaker 3: but we're not gonna put the whole thing on you.
- 38:51Speaker 3: And we're gonna play action pass, we're gonna move the pocket,
- 38:54Speaker 3: and we're gonna do things and let him get some confidence.
- 38:57Speaker 3: Let him see it's like a it's like a three
- 38:59Speaker 3: point shoot. Who can't hit the broadside of a barn? Like, hey,
- 39:02Speaker 3: let's go get some layups, get some mid range show like,
- 39:04Speaker 3: let's take some easy one. See the ball go through.
- 39:06Speaker 3: Who get fould shoot a couple of free throw shots,
- 39:08Speaker 3: See the ball go in. And I think you need
- 39:11Speaker 3: Trevor to get some opportunities to see success.
- 39:14Speaker 5: You want to turn you want to turn him in
- 39:16Speaker 5: with the Chargers have turned justin Herbert into.
- 39:18Speaker 3: No, I didn't say Pete. I'm not saying that. I'm
- 39:20Speaker 3: saying this is the process where you get him to
- 39:23Speaker 3: the player he should be. He's not that right now.
- 39:26Speaker 3: So I'm a big believer. Don't ask guys to do
- 39:29Speaker 3: things that they can't do right now.
- 39:31Speaker 5: So well, okay, but if he can't do it, like
- 39:34Speaker 5: you're saying he can't do it, then you've got a
- 39:37Speaker 5: major problem on your hands.
- 39:38Speaker 3: No, he can do it right now in that where
- 39:40Speaker 3: he's at all. Right, we gotta go to a break.
- 39:43Speaker 3: Let's go. I want to finish this conversation because I
- 39:44Speaker 3: want to talk about Pete. I want you to pick
- 39:46Speaker 3: apart what I would do with Trevor.
- 39:49Speaker 2: All right, stay with us here and Happy Hour coming
- 39:51Speaker 2: up after the break. We will give you the details
- 39:52Speaker 2: how to fix things with Trevor Lawrence. Welcome back into
- 39:58Speaker 2: Jaguars Happy Hour person by jet Home Loans. I'm kind
- 40:01Speaker 2: of Anni Stephen than for J. P. Shaddrick today, Pete Prisco,
- 40:04Speaker 2: Tony BISSELLI are here with me trying to answer your
- 40:07Speaker 2: questions for you. We'll get to some fanatics fan questions
- 40:09Speaker 2: in the next hour, but right now we're still trying
- 40:11Speaker 2: to figure out exactly what to do with sixteen. You
- 40:13Speaker 2: guys are differing philosophies. Pete, you didn't give us your
- 40:17Speaker 2: full philosophy. What do you think we should do with the.
- 40:21Speaker 5: Here's one that that bothers me to no end is
- 40:24Speaker 5: they don't throw the ball into the middle of the
- 40:25Speaker 5: field at all. Now, whether that's by design, they're afraid
- 40:30Speaker 5: of him. They don't think the protection in the middle
- 40:33Speaker 5: is good enough. I don't know why, but you go
- 40:35Speaker 5: back to the Miami game, Kirk hit a shot in
- 40:37Speaker 5: the middle of the field. Even last week, two weeks
- 40:40Speaker 5: ago in Buffalo late you know, third quarter, when they
- 40:43Speaker 5: got it rolled a little bit, he hit a shot
- 40:45Speaker 5: to Kirk in the middle of the field.
- 40:46Speaker 7: They don't throw it in the middle of the field enough.
- 40:49Speaker 5: And that's that's part. I think if they did some
- 40:52Speaker 5: things differently, and we've seen what Brian Thomas could do,
- 40:54Speaker 5: that kid's is going to be a star. He can
- 40:56Speaker 5: run crossers, he can go down the field, he can
- 40:59Speaker 5: run into the middle of the now was a great
- 41:00Speaker 5: route runner. No, but that's coming. And so I think
- 41:04Speaker 5: you need to use those guys down in the middle
- 41:06Speaker 5: of the field too much.
- 41:07Speaker 7: It's too much to the sideline. And I don't know why.
- 41:10Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 41:10Speaker 7: The answer to that is design.
- 41:12Speaker 5: Is it him? Are they afraid of him throwing it
- 41:13Speaker 5: into the middle of the field, because I think there's
- 41:15Speaker 5: opportunities there. So if you did something like that, that's
- 41:18Speaker 5: you know, And I Tony, you know, I'm always a
- 41:20Speaker 5: big believer in taking shots on first down. Yep uh.
- 41:23Speaker 5: And if you do take a shot on first down,
- 41:25Speaker 5: there's no obligatory NFL rule that says you have to
- 41:28Speaker 5: run it on second down to have it better for
- 41:30Speaker 5: manageable and third down like every team in the league does.
- 41:32Speaker 5: So I just think if you allow him the best
- 41:34Speaker 5: he's ever played is win.
- 41:36Speaker 3: The best second half of twenty two.
- 41:38Speaker 7: And what's the best game he's ever.
- 41:40Speaker 3: Had second half of the Chargers game after the worst
- 41:43Speaker 3: the whole.
- 41:44Speaker 2: Game, what's the best hole game he's ever had.
- 41:47Speaker 7: That's a good question.
- 41:48Speaker 3: I'd have to go back and look, guy, you stumped me.
- 41:50Speaker 5: But he's had some where he's thrown for three thirty
- 41:53Speaker 5: and stuff like that. When was the last time Trevor
- 41:55Speaker 5: Lawrence was thrown for thre hundred yards in a game?
- 41:56Speaker 2: It's been a lot like Texans last year?
- 41:58Speaker 3: Maybe did he even get three hundred?
- 42:00Speaker 5: Yeah, he had one where he was like three twenty
- 42:02Speaker 5: eight or something I think last year. But but the
- 42:04Speaker 5: bottom line is, if you turn him into a restrictive
- 42:07Speaker 5: quarterback and you're paying him that kind of money, you're
- 42:11Speaker 5: doing a disservice a to your organization and you're doing
- 42:14Speaker 5: the disservice to the kid.
- 42:15Speaker 3: So, Peter, let me be clear, because I've said it
- 42:18Speaker 3: three times now, I think he can do it. I
- 42:21Speaker 3: think he can be the guy. I'm talking like, how
- 42:23Speaker 3: do you get him there? And I think you got
- 42:26Speaker 3: to take a little bit of pressure and let him
- 42:28Speaker 3: take a deep breath and relax and say, we're gonna
- 42:32Speaker 3: come out. We're gonna run the ball, we're gonna get
- 42:36Speaker 3: the screen game going. We're gonna get some vertical and
- 42:38Speaker 3: I know you hate this, Pete, these horizontal but I'm
- 42:41Speaker 3: just saying, and hey, get some zone reads, get some
- 42:44Speaker 3: quarterback reads. The guy's athletic look on how he played
- 42:48Speaker 3: it Clemson running around, making plays like get him into
- 42:51Speaker 3: the game a little bit with some play action pass,
- 42:54Speaker 3: running the ball and so he can get He has
- 42:57Speaker 3: no confidence right now, at least my view of watching
- 43:00Speaker 3: him play. It's like it's like the weight of the
- 43:02Speaker 3: world is on him and he is not executing and
- 43:06Speaker 3: it just is piling up. So it's like, Okay, take
- 43:08Speaker 3: a deep breath, dude, you're good. We all believe in you.
- 43:11Speaker 3: You're fine. We're gonna run the ball, We're in a
- 43:13Speaker 3: plaction pass, we're gonna run screens. We're gonna get some
- 43:16Speaker 3: easy completions, and then maybe Pete, you get some success
- 43:20Speaker 3: and start moving the ball and doing some things, then
- 43:23Speaker 3: you can open it up more. But I just think
- 43:25Speaker 3: right now, just opening it up and asking him to
- 43:28Speaker 3: take deep shots and throw it around the yard is
- 43:31Speaker 3: a recipe for disaster because he is not he's not executing.
- 43:36Speaker 5: Yeah, but I can play the flip side of that,
- 43:38Speaker 5: Tony and say, your philosophy if you go run, run,
- 43:41Speaker 5: get to get two and then go make a play
- 43:43Speaker 5: and now you're third and long, And that's a recipe
- 43:45Speaker 5: for disaster.
- 43:46Speaker 2: It's based on a personality, and I don't think I
- 43:48Speaker 2: don't know Trevor well enough to know what he'll respond
- 43:50Speaker 2: well to. I think sometimes taking the pressure off by
- 43:52Speaker 2: putting it on other people's helpful. But some people want
- 43:55Speaker 2: maybe they want to get in a rhythm, they want
- 43:56Speaker 2: more reps. So I don't know which he would respond
- 43:59Speaker 2: to best, But I think both interesting points of view
- 44:01Speaker 2: in the sense that one of those I hope would work.
- 44:04Speaker 2: But also Trevor needs to take some Do you think
- 44:06Speaker 2: he needs to take some bonus on himself, Pete, you're
- 44:07Speaker 2: talking about some of his mechanics. Is he need to
- 44:09Speaker 2: alter some of what he's doing well?
- 44:11Speaker 5: I think part of the mechanical problems is stem from
- 44:14Speaker 5: the bad offensive line play over the last couple of
- 44:16Speaker 5: years and him being injured. I mean when you're a
- 44:19Speaker 5: long strider and you watch him, he's a long strider,
- 44:22Speaker 5: and that means he needs to be pretty clean in
- 44:24Speaker 5: the pocket. And so when you're got a long strider,
- 44:27Speaker 5: that you need protection. And I think when the protection waned.
- 44:30Speaker 5: You saw it in Buffalo, he got out of some
- 44:32Speaker 5: pockets where he felt pressure that wasn't there. Well, that's
- 44:34Speaker 5: because you got hit all the nice Yeah.
- 44:37Speaker 7: That means you're starting to see but you're also starting
- 44:38Speaker 7: to see ghosts.
- 44:39Speaker 5: And that happens to guy. So I think, Tony, if
- 44:42Speaker 5: you dictate tempo, you minimize that. Now on Sunday, I'm
- 44:47Speaker 5: gonna give you that. I thought the offensive line played
- 44:49Speaker 5: for that group. They played really good football for that group.
- 44:53Speaker 3: You know, my biggest concern, Pete, the way I think
- 44:55Speaker 3: about it, And I am so biased because I think
- 44:57Speaker 3: this is how you play football. I just think you
- 44:59Speaker 3: run the ball, you control, control the line of scrimmage,
- 45:01Speaker 3: you take your shots off a play action pass. You know,
- 45:06Speaker 3: in different philosophy. I'm not saying that, but I'm not
- 45:08Speaker 3: sure we're built that way to do it. And so Pete,
- 45:13Speaker 3: you might be right. Maybe it's better just to open
- 45:14Speaker 3: it up and go to town. And live and live or
- 45:17Speaker 3: die with it. But I'll just go back to because
- 45:19Speaker 3: everyone thinks that he asked. I mean, you paid him
- 45:24Speaker 3: the money. It is what it is, you paid it.
- 45:27Speaker 3: He's not performing at that level yet, Okay, that doesn't
- 45:30Speaker 3: mean he's a bust. That doesn't mean it's over. I
- 45:33Speaker 3: can go through the history of this league, and I'll
- 45:36Speaker 3: just use an example of the greatest quarterback to ever play,
- 45:39Speaker 3: Tom Brady and Pete. You know this. The first five
- 45:45Speaker 3: years of his career, that team was built around running
- 45:50Speaker 3: the ball and playing great defense, was it not, Pete? Yeah,
- 45:56Speaker 3: And then the guy got better and better, got confidence,
- 46:00Speaker 3: and all of a sudden he became the goat. He
- 46:03Speaker 3: became Tom Brady that we now remember the last fifteen
- 46:07Speaker 3: years of his career. Now he played for one hundred years.
- 46:09Speaker 3: So you had the opportunity to do that. Yes, And
- 46:12Speaker 3: so I'm not saying to dumb it down. I'm not
- 46:15Speaker 3: saying to tell Trevor you can't do it. So we're
- 46:17Speaker 3: gonna switch everything we do, Like I like what we
- 46:21Speaker 3: did against Houston. Let's run the ball, let's get it going,
- 46:25Speaker 3: let's get play action passes, Let's get some shots around
- 46:29Speaker 3: the field. Where he gets some early success so that
- 46:32Speaker 3: he's feeling it and then you can open it up
- 46:35Speaker 3: a little bit more.
- 46:37Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm just concerned about their ability to run it consistently.
- 46:40Speaker 3: It's a fair point, Pete. I can't argue that.
- 46:43Speaker 2: Lots of opinions, lots of options. We're going to talk
- 46:45Speaker 2: all things out. We're an hour and we still get
- 46:47Speaker 2: a second hour of Jaguars Happy How we're gonna keep
- 46:49Speaker 2: it real. The fanatic stand questions are ahead of us
- 46:52Speaker 2: as well. All that right here on Happy Hour. Stick
- 46:54Speaker 2: with us.
- 47:03Speaker 5: It's frustrated.
- 47:04Speaker 8: It's not going our way and we weren't able to
- 47:06Speaker 8: find a way to win this game. We had some
- 47:07Speaker 8: mistakes out there. Yeah, but we just have to stay together.
- 47:10Speaker 8: It's gonna teach us something, it's gonna prepare us for
- 47:11Speaker 8: the future, and and stay positive. I mean, there were
- 47:15Speaker 8: things that we did well today and we just have
- 47:16Speaker 8: to do more of it, you know. And I don't
- 47:17Speaker 8: think we need to we need to blow everything up
- 47:21Speaker 8: and start over like we you know, we got good players,
- 47:23Speaker 8: we had we have a good scheme. Offensively, we had
- 47:25Speaker 8: great things today and we just got to consistently make
- 47:28Speaker 8: those plays. You know. I thought We had a lot
- 47:30Speaker 8: of opportunities, so just keep keep working. That's the that's
- 47:34Speaker 8: the message, Just keep working.
- 47:35Speaker 2: This week, frustration all around here. I'm kind Nanni Steven's
- 47:39Speaker 2: in for JP Shadrick today. Tony Bisselli and Pete Prisco
- 47:42Speaker 2: are with me. This is the second hour of Jaguars
- 47:44Speaker 2: Happy Hour, presented by Mister Tubby's Wings. Before the game,
- 47:46Speaker 2: after the game. During the game, absolutely want to check
- 47:49Speaker 2: them out. Let's go over some of the topics of
- 47:51Speaker 2: the day. It's troublesome here. They're owing for this team,
- 47:54Speaker 2: still searching for their first win of the year. They
- 47:56Speaker 2: led against the Texans, had a great opportunity right off
- 47:58Speaker 2: the bat after the muff punt they able to get
- 48:00Speaker 2: an early touchdown to Brian Thomas Junior. Kind of finally
- 48:03Speaker 2: felt like that was maybe that moment, the momentum shift
- 48:05Speaker 2: they'd been looking for because they looked so listless on
- 48:08Speaker 2: Monday Night football. And they did Okay, they did some
- 48:10Speaker 2: good things. We saw some plays from Brian Thomas Junior
- 48:13Speaker 2: touchdown to Kirk Christian Kirk as well. Tank Bigsby had
- 48:17Speaker 2: a great game, including a big fifty eight yard run,
- 48:19Speaker 2: but again couldn't convert on third down, a lot had trouble,
- 48:22Speaker 2: couldn't convert on that fourth and one, and then c J.
- 48:25Speaker 2: Stroud just coming back with that game winning drive. I
- 48:27Speaker 2: think we all kind of felt that off the top,
- 48:30Speaker 2: and I want to speak for you guys, but that
- 48:32Speaker 2: feeling of when c J. Stroud got the ball Tonya
- 48:36Speaker 2: in the building, it kind of felt like when he
- 48:37Speaker 2: got it, you were like, oh, he's gonna go score
- 48:39Speaker 2: at this point.
- 48:39Speaker 3: Yeah, that kid's good. I mean, he he has good receivers.
- 48:43Speaker 3: Nico Collins is man, he's good.
- 48:45Speaker 5: I mean, you know what's amazing about it. He didn't
- 48:47Speaker 5: even he didn't even play that well on Sunday and
- 48:49Speaker 5: you look up sixty yards or whatever hit throwing.
- 48:53Speaker 3: It well, then I mean they they are so undisciplined,
- 48:58Speaker 3: and they up front their offensive line, golly, they just
- 49:01Speaker 3: killed boy. The left guard was terrible, terrible, golly bad,
- 49:05Speaker 3: which is all.
- 49:05Speaker 2: The more the point. Their offensive line didn't look great
- 49:08Speaker 2: and we only got one and that extra sac from leadbetter,
- 49:11Speaker 2: so that Roy Robinson Harrison's.
- 49:13Speaker 3: Yeah, we forre some holes though, so that's positive. But yeah,
- 49:16Speaker 3: I mean it was We're not a It's one of
- 49:20Speaker 3: the reasons we have no turnovers because we don't pressure
- 49:22Speaker 3: very well. You create turnovers by creating pressure on the quarterback.
- 49:27Speaker 5: And well, here's the other part of that is, you
- 49:29Speaker 5: know we talk about Trevor. When CJ. Stroud scrambles, he
- 49:34Speaker 5: somehow always seems to keep his head up in fire
- 49:36Speaker 5: or shot down the field.
- 49:38Speaker 2: That's a good point. He's always looking to continue to throw.
- 49:40Speaker 2: I feel like sometimes when Trevor's moving, he's just trying
- 49:42Speaker 2: to get away. He's not looking, hey, how can extend
- 49:45Speaker 2: this play?
- 49:46Speaker 7: Yeah, that has to change. That's something.
- 49:48Speaker 3: It's a great point.
- 49:49Speaker 5: Has to change for him.
- 49:50Speaker 2: And remind me a little bit. I don't know if
- 49:51Speaker 2: you think this, but I feel like Lamar Jackson used
- 49:54Speaker 2: to do that a little bit earlier in his career.
- 49:55Speaker 2: He would run to run and then kind of adapted
- 49:58Speaker 2: and became able to elude people and then continue to
- 50:01Speaker 2: want to throw. And maybe that's something he can learn
- 50:03Speaker 2: as it goes along.
- 50:03Speaker 3: Yeah, but the big difference there, and I think you're
- 50:05Speaker 3: probably right. Lamar ran like four to three, so he
- 50:08Speaker 3: was better. He was a better running back the most
- 50:11Speaker 3: of running backs in the league.
- 50:13Speaker 5: But here's the other thing about and this is something
- 50:16Speaker 5: I've noticed just watching quarterbacks over the years, c J.
- 50:19Speaker 5: Stroud and Jade and Daniels both make it look so
- 50:26Speaker 5: effortless and easy, and it's not even when.
- 50:30Speaker 7: They're rushed and pressured. It's still head.
- 50:33Speaker 5: Up fire or shot makes it and you look up
- 50:35Speaker 5: and they both have three hundred yards passing and two
- 50:37Speaker 5: touchdowns three touchdowns.
- 50:39Speaker 7: Whereas a guy like Trevor in this offense and even.
- 50:43Speaker 5: Like you can go to Caleb Williams and others, it's
- 50:45Speaker 5: a it's a work in progress trying to get him
- 50:48Speaker 5: to do the things that they need to do in
- 50:50Speaker 5: the confines of the offense. And I think that's the
- 50:52Speaker 5: biggest difference. Does it ever look effortless for Trevor? It doesn't,
- 50:57Speaker 5: not literally, it looks robotic at time. It looks for
- 50:59Speaker 5: a and he's, like you said, Tony, he's pressing and
- 51:02Speaker 5: he's thinking about all his mechanics instead of just playing football.
- 51:05Speaker 3: Yeah that's my point, Pete. I think he's I think
- 51:08Speaker 3: he's thinking too much and yeah, not just playing and
- 51:11Speaker 3: reacting to what he sees and what's going on. Because
- 51:15Speaker 3: he's a premium athlete and he can run, he's big,
- 51:19Speaker 3: he can do all those things. But right now something
- 51:22Speaker 3: is just off from how you know. I think mechanical
- 51:27Speaker 3: is the right word. It looks mechanical, and it's hard
- 51:30Speaker 3: to play the game, any game if you're mechanical.
- 51:33Speaker 5: Because he's getting out and when he's getting out, like
- 51:36Speaker 5: we said, he's going and you look at the other guy,
- 51:39Speaker 5: because the other guy got out a bunch on Sunday.
- 51:42Speaker 5: And when he got out he made plays. And when
- 51:44Speaker 5: he didn't get at when he didn't have anybody down
- 51:46Speaker 5: the field, he ran and got first downs.
- 51:48Speaker 3: Yeah, he bought time to throw the ball.
- 51:51Speaker 7: Yes, And it looks easy.
- 51:52Speaker 5: It looks effortless.
- 51:54Speaker 7: And that's the difference.
- 51:55Speaker 3: Well being talking about you brought up Caleb Williams. I
- 51:58Speaker 3: didn't see the game. I know we can view this
- 52:00Speaker 3: in the last segment, but he read on Twitter or
- 52:04Speaker 3: x that he had one hundred and twenty four passer
- 52:07Speaker 3: rating under pressure on Sunday.
- 52:10Speaker 5: It was better.
- 52:10Speaker 7: He's getting better. It's still not you know what I'm saying.
- 52:13Speaker 3: When I didn't see it, I have no idea.
- 52:14Speaker 7: Yeah, but with Jaye Dan, you've seen him play. Though
- 52:17Speaker 7: with a guy like Jane.
- 52:17Speaker 3: Dan, I haven't seen je I haven't seen Jayden Daniels
- 52:20Speaker 3: play one game.
- 52:21Speaker 5: You haven't. No, you don't turn your TV on every Huh, well.
- 52:24Speaker 3: I cover this team called the Jaguars, or.
- 52:27Speaker 7: You played on they played on a night game.
- 52:30Speaker 3: I didn't see it. It was the same night that
- 52:32Speaker 3: we played.
- 52:34Speaker 7: That's right, right, yeah, yeah, but you could have turned
- 52:37Speaker 7: that game off early.
- 52:38Speaker 5: And got.
- 52:40Speaker 8: Watch.
- 52:41Speaker 3: I don't think that had been U appreciate it, Jeff.
- 52:44Speaker 7: Let Jeff handle it. Say you want to go watch
- 52:46Speaker 7: some football in the back.
- 52:48Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think that'd have been appreciated. So, but
- 52:51Speaker 3: they need to figure it out because it's hard to
- 52:52Speaker 3: win in this league if your quarterback's not playing well.
- 52:54Speaker 2: Tony, how do you deal with the pressure You're you're
- 52:56Speaker 2: in Trevor, you're number one pick, you got the contract.
- 52:59Speaker 2: Now you're the guy. Obviously he's not dealing with a
- 53:01Speaker 2: great How do you kind of reset it mentally?
- 53:04Speaker 3: I think the first thing you gotta tell yourself is
- 53:06Speaker 3: what I'm doing is not working. So me being anxious
- 53:09Speaker 3: and worrying about and putting all this pressure on me
- 53:12Speaker 3: isn't working. So let me try the opposite. I'm just
- 53:14Speaker 3: not gonna give to you know what, or what anyone thinks.
- 53:19Speaker 3: I know, I'm good I know I can play this position.
- 53:21Speaker 3: I'm gonna study my tail off this week. I'm gonna
- 53:24Speaker 3: be prepared, and i'm gonna go out there with a
- 53:26Speaker 3: little confidence and swagger, even if I have to fake it,
- 53:30Speaker 3: fake it till you make it. But I'm not gonna
- 53:32Speaker 3: sit here and worry about making a mistake. I'm not
- 53:35Speaker 3: gonna be afraid of failing. I'm not gonna be thinking
- 53:38Speaker 3: through and trying to be perfect. I'm just gonna go play.
- 53:44Speaker 3: I played this game for a long time. I was
- 53:45Speaker 3: great in high school, I was great in college. I
- 53:47Speaker 3: know I can be great here. I've done great things
- 53:50Speaker 3: in this league at moments. I'm just gonna go play.
- 53:53Speaker 3: And you know what, if I throw a pick, I
- 53:55Speaker 3: throw a pick, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna I'm gonna go.
- 53:58Speaker 3: I'm gonna go slinging around. I'm gonna go make I'm
- 54:00Speaker 3: gonna I'm gonna run this offense. I'm gonna lead this offense.
- 54:03Speaker 3: That's my job. I'm gonna lead the offense. I'm gonna
- 54:05Speaker 3: go lead these guys, and I'm gonna play with some
- 54:08Speaker 3: confidence and swagger and I'm gonna get after it and
- 54:12Speaker 3: at least if it goes bad, then it didn't go
- 54:15Speaker 3: bad because I was thinking, or I was worried about failing,
- 54:18Speaker 3: or I was pressing or trying to art. I'm just
- 54:20Speaker 3: gonna go play because what you're doing is not working.
- 54:23Speaker 3: You're getting you're getting all the heat right now.
- 54:26Speaker 5: Right, and it's not right and rightfully so, but Tony,
- 54:29Speaker 5: here's here's let's go through this second. Once you realize
- 54:34Speaker 5: that you were a great player, you know, okay, maybe
- 54:38Speaker 5: not a great player, but when you realize you could
- 54:40Speaker 5: handle it and be good in the NFL, did you
- 54:42Speaker 5: ever get anxious after that?
- 54:44Speaker 2: Oh?
- 54:44Speaker 3: Every game? I actually think when you get to the top,
- 54:47Speaker 3: you have to manage that even more.
- 54:49Speaker 5: But were you pressing? I'm saying, you know where you where,
- 54:51Speaker 5: you didn't impact the way you played the game.
- 54:55Speaker 7: Once you once you got to took the field and hit.
- 54:57Speaker 5: Somebody, did an impact the way you played the game.
- 54:59Speaker 3: Yeah? No, I mean when you get out there you
- 55:01Speaker 3: start playing. I mean, but there was moments, like big
- 55:03Speaker 3: moments you're like okay, like the game's on the line.
- 55:06Speaker 3: Too many like okay, I gotta do my job, Go
- 55:08Speaker 3: do your technique, like don't don't think about the moment
- 55:12Speaker 3: and don't let the moment come become too big because
- 55:14Speaker 3: then you'll get anxious. But I think when you when
- 55:17Speaker 3: you get to the top of being the best or
- 55:20Speaker 3: like what you do, that's only half the journey. It's
- 55:25Speaker 3: how do you stay there?
- 55:27Speaker 5: Because but I'm talking about a guy who's allowing pressure
- 55:31Speaker 5: of the contract and everything to impact him.
- 55:34Speaker 3: Like, so the contract never bothered me, So you have
- 55:37Speaker 3: to find out what motivates you.
- 55:39Speaker 7: That's what it shouldn't It shouldn't. He needs to take
- 55:42Speaker 7: that out of the equation.
- 55:43Speaker 3: That's my point. Like it doesn't matter. You're gonna pay it.
- 55:45Speaker 3: Like I'd be like, okay, I'm getting paid.
- 55:47Speaker 5: That's what has changed for him, Like, let's just put
- 55:51Speaker 5: this through. What has changed for him in three years
- 55:53Speaker 5: that has made him become a player who is robotic
- 55:58Speaker 5: and mechanical and not the same.
- 56:00Speaker 3: I don't know, but I'll just say development, development, there's
- 56:03Speaker 3: no div that's a problem in that organ development. It's
- 56:07Speaker 3: a fair it's a fair question, Pete. I'll just tell
- 56:10Speaker 3: you to answer your question. From my perspective, the pressure
- 56:15Speaker 3: is not going anywhere. If you're the quarterback or if
- 56:17Speaker 3: you want to be good, if you want to be
- 56:19Speaker 3: good at anything. It's okay to have some anxiety going
- 56:23Speaker 3: in because that knows it. That to me, that tells
- 56:26Speaker 3: you it's important. It's how you manage that. And I
- 56:31Speaker 3: think the management of that is because the Pete. There
- 56:33Speaker 3: was times in my career and you'll remember this, I'll
- 56:37Speaker 3: I'll never forget it. I remember we played a preseason
- 56:39Speaker 3: game against the San Francisco forty nine ers. Chris Dolman
- 56:44Speaker 3: got a sack against me early in the game. The
- 56:47Speaker 3: next day in the Times, you in because of people
- 56:49Speaker 3: like Pete who are just bad people. On the front
- 56:53Speaker 3: page of the sports section, besell, he gives up a sack,
- 56:56Speaker 3: And I remember reading that, Go on, what about the
- 57:00Speaker 3: other fifty plays?
- 57:01Speaker 2: Remember the worst one? Yea.
- 57:03Speaker 3: And so I had to tell myself it's like, okay,
- 57:07Speaker 3: if I worry about making a mistake, or if I
- 57:11Speaker 3: worry about getting beat, then I'm not going to play
- 57:15Speaker 3: as well, because then you become mechanical, you become robotic,
- 57:19Speaker 3: you're thinking you're over instead of I played my best
- 57:22Speaker 3: football whenever I went out there and just competed. I
- 57:27Speaker 3: wasn't worried about technique. I wasn't worried about you know what,
- 57:31Speaker 3: happens if it doesn't work, What happens if they get
- 57:34Speaker 3: a sack, What happens with this or that or the other.
- 57:37Speaker 3: I just went out there and trusted my ability and competed.
- 57:41Speaker 3: And I think when you have pressure and you're in
- 57:44Speaker 3: a position where all the expectations are on you to
- 57:47Speaker 3: be great, and Trevor hasn't reached that in the NFL yet,
- 57:51Speaker 3: but he's reached it in college and reached the other places,
- 57:54Speaker 3: so the expectation followed him here being the first overall
- 57:57Speaker 3: pick of this franchise and going through that and having expectations.
- 58:02Speaker 3: I had to manage that because I knew myself because
- 58:07Speaker 3: I was and I think Trevor's like this where you're
- 58:09Speaker 3: harder on yourself than anyone else can be. So you
- 58:12Speaker 3: have to manage yourself saying, Okay, I just got to
- 58:15Speaker 3: go play. Let the chips fall where they may if
- 58:19Speaker 3: I go out there and compete and have put the
- 58:23Speaker 3: work in, because that's where you like worry about techniques.
- 58:26Speaker 3: And during the week you put the work in, you
- 58:28Speaker 3: get your technique down. You rep it, you rep it,
- 58:30Speaker 3: you re repid. Study, study, study, watch film, so that
- 58:34Speaker 3: when you get into the game you're just reacting and
- 58:38Speaker 3: competing against the guy across from you, and that's where
- 58:42Speaker 3: the mechanics, that's where you stop being mechanical and stop
- 58:44Speaker 3: worrying about being perfect. It doesn't have to be perfect.
- 58:47Speaker 5: But here's the difference, though Tony, you're playing a position
- 58:50Speaker 5: where you got a man or who's looper, stunner, double whatever.
- 58:54Speaker 5: When you're the quarterback and you're allowing things to impact you,
- 58:57Speaker 5: you see in everything to say, it's entirely different. So
- 59:02Speaker 5: when you start doubting at all, then it becomes a
- 59:05Speaker 5: great it's a magnifies it by a hundred times what
- 59:08Speaker 5: it might impede.
- 59:09Speaker 3: I agree with you. The quarterback position is a much
- 59:11Speaker 3: harder position, especially mentally to play than left tackle. No,
- 59:16Speaker 3: it's not. It's night and day. What is on his
- 59:18Speaker 3: play is much larger. I'm what I'm trying. What I'm
- 59:21Speaker 3: trying to communicate, Pete as those this it's the same
- 59:24Speaker 3: from the standpoint, and I felt it playing for this franchise.
- 59:30Speaker 3: Once I became at the top of the highest the
- 59:35Speaker 3: number one tackle in the league, whatever it was, offensive
- 59:37Speaker 3: lineman of the year, all the different things. Then you
- 59:40Speaker 3: have to realize is like the expectation is that I'm
- 59:43Speaker 3: never gonna get beat and that it's gonna be perfect,
- 59:48Speaker 3: and when something does go wrong, people are going to
- 59:51Speaker 3: notice it and they're gonna say something. And I had
- 59:54Speaker 3: to tell myself is that I can't worry about that
- 59:56Speaker 3: because if I go out there worried about giving a
- 1:00:00Speaker 3: a sack or getting beat or having a bad play,
- 1:00:04Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna be a mess. I'm not gonna
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: do it like Pete. I'll tell you you remember these
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: matchups my favorite game is to play were against Baltimore
- 1:00:12Speaker 3: and Michael McCrary. I was the most nervous going in
- 1:00:15Speaker 3: those games, so I knew I was getting ready for
- 1:00:17Speaker 3: like a fifteen round heavyweight fight because this guy was
- 1:00:20Speaker 3: gonna be just tenacious. But it was fun when you
- 1:00:24Speaker 3: got into the game because it was like you were
- 1:00:27Speaker 3: just battling, you were playing. But let me translate this
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: to how I think it works a quarterback because the
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: mental part, he's like he has so much more to
- 1:00:35Speaker 3: deal with, no doubt about it. But my point that
- 1:00:38Speaker 3: Trevor is like, man, you can't worry about what everyone
- 1:00:41Speaker 3: else's expectations are. You can't worry about having the big contract.
- 1:00:45Speaker 3: You can't worry about what Pete Prisco or Tony Miscelli
- 1:00:48Speaker 3: or Kai saying on the radio, or you can't worry about,
- 1:00:51Speaker 3: oh gosh, what's the what's on X? Because if I
- 1:00:54Speaker 3: don't do what if I fall short? What if I
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: don't become a top five quarterback of this league? Who cares?
- 1:01:02Speaker 3: Because if you worry about that, you never will. Just
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: go do what you've done your whole life. Would just
- 1:01:07Speaker 3: compete your tail off and go play the game of
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: football that you know how to play. And now, yeah,
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: you have a lot more work during the week than
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: I would have because you had to study and you
- 1:01:16Speaker 3: gotta know all the formations, you gotta know all coverages,
- 1:01:19Speaker 3: you gotta know what everyone's doing on the field. I
- 1:01:20Speaker 3: just had to worry about the defensive end, much easier.
- 1:01:23Speaker 7: But here's the other thing, too, Tony.
- 1:01:25Speaker 5: Once you arrived at you're all pro level, if you
- 1:01:29Speaker 5: made a mistake.
- 1:01:31Speaker 7: It was magnified. But everybody goes, oh, it's all you
- 1:01:33Speaker 7: give upsack.
- 1:01:34Speaker 5: But here he goes he's gonna go stone the guy
- 1:01:35Speaker 5: for the rest of the game. Whereas Trevor's at the
- 1:01:38Speaker 5: point now despite the mega contract, where if he makes
- 1:01:42Speaker 5: a mistake. Everybody looks at it and says, here we go,
- 1:01:47Speaker 5: he's gonna become that guy again. That's the difference.
- 1:01:51Speaker 3: But here's what this is. How you treat it the
- 1:01:53Speaker 3: same way, because it's the same thing. If you think
- 1:01:55Speaker 3: about it, it's all outside noise, it's all outsider.
- 1:02:00Speaker 7: Saying, but it's internal hold on.
- 1:02:02Speaker 3: That's why you can't let it be.
- 1:02:05Speaker 7: What it clearly is. Now we both agree on.
- 1:02:07Speaker 3: That's my point. I agree with you. You can't allow that.
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: And there were times in my career like you have
- 1:02:12Speaker 3: a bad game or something, I have to fight it,
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: like that's not who I am.
- 1:02:16Speaker 5: By the way, one one thing we do and I
- 1:02:18Speaker 5: touched on a little bit development of the player.
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: It's critical.
- 1:02:23Speaker 5: It's in the same We had the excuse it was urban,
- 1:02:26Speaker 5: the urban disaster. Then you get a coach in there.
- 1:02:29Speaker 5: You're in the same system for three years, correct.
- 1:02:32Speaker 3: Yes, and he's not progressing. That's my concern.
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: I think maybe some of the outs maybe hurt him too,
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: because it kept being oh, he has a new coach.
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: Oh it's the second year, and now we're a third year,
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: and it's like, oh, he's saying any he's injured and
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: now it's.
- 1:02:45Speaker 5: Then, and then there's this this other part of it.
- 1:02:48Speaker 5: Carson Wentz, Carson.
- 1:02:52Speaker 3: Went found on that part.
- 1:02:54Speaker 5: He got hurt, but he was on his way to
- 1:02:57Speaker 5: being He was a high draft picks second overall, he
- 1:03:01Speaker 5: was gonna be an MVP.
- 1:03:02Speaker 7: He was in the MV before he got hurt. He
- 1:03:03Speaker 7: was in the MVP cant he was in an MVP run.
- 1:03:05Speaker 5: He came back and it just fell apart on him
- 1:03:09Speaker 5: and Doug Peterson was the head coach and the relationship
- 1:03:12Speaker 5: wasn't great and it was frayed and for whatever reason,
- 1:03:16Speaker 5: I don't know the ends of it, but I know
- 1:03:17Speaker 5: there wasn't It wasn't warm and fuzzy, and Carson Wentz
- 1:03:21Speaker 5: has never ever ever been the same ever. Now, the
- 1:03:25Speaker 5: injury could be a factor in there, and Trevor's been
- 1:03:27Speaker 5: hurt too, But when you was there, development there no
- 1:03:33Speaker 5: after the factor was not anymore development, And that's where
- 1:03:35Speaker 5: I'm concerned about it.
- 1:03:37Speaker 7: That's my concern.
- 1:03:38Speaker 5: You're in an office for three years, you're supposed to
- 1:03:41Speaker 5: have development. There's no development. And it's not just him.
- 1:03:45Speaker 5: There's a lot of guys that don't get better. That's
- 1:03:48Speaker 5: my concern with this team.
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: We're going to talk more about development coming up. We
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: will keep it real as well here on the second
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: hour of Jaguars Happy Hour, represented by mister Tubby's Wings.
- 1:04:03Speaker 9: The dasy for us as coaches to criticize the negative,
- 1:04:08Speaker 9: even as reporters. It's easy to criticize the negative, right,
- 1:04:11Speaker 9: It's hard to find the positive when things are bad.
- 1:04:15Speaker 5: I mean, it's just kind of human nature. I personally.
- 1:04:22Speaker 9: Try to find the good in everything because if I don't,
- 1:04:28Speaker 9: then I'm always the Debbie Downer. I'm always the negative one,
- 1:04:31Speaker 9: and I don't want to be the negative one. I
- 1:04:33Speaker 9: will still hold them accountable. I will still hold my
- 1:04:35Speaker 9: coaches accountable. I'll hold myself accountable. But at the same time,
- 1:04:40Speaker 9: I better come Wednesday make them feel.
- 1:04:43Speaker 5: Like they could run through that wall. Right, that's my job.
- 1:04:46Speaker 5: That's part of my job.
- 1:04:47Speaker 6: So I don't necessarily back away. I don't necessarily have
- 1:04:55Speaker 6: to raise my voice and yell and scream, but I
- 1:05:01Speaker 6: think you can. You can get your message across where
- 1:05:04Speaker 6: they understand where you're coming from and what we need
- 1:05:07Speaker 6: to do moving forward.
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: Ted coach Doug Peterson speaking a couple of hours ago today,
- 1:05:13Speaker 2: a different tone than what we heard from him after
- 1:05:15Speaker 2: the game. He's trying to focus on the positives. As
- 1:05:18Speaker 2: you mentioned, Tony, you said, a lot of mentality is
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: going out there playing free, not being burdened by the negatives.
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: How's the team going to do that as a whole.
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we'll tag We'll keep it real. In
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: the second here, Pete, we talked about Trevor and I
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: want to tag it with this, And I think this
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: goes for every position, first and foremost. I was not
- 1:05:34Speaker 3: trying to compare the left tackle of a quarterback two
- 1:05:36Speaker 3: different positions, but the mentality as a professional sport or
- 1:05:40Speaker 3: athlete and to be great at anything, I think is consistent.
- 1:05:45Speaker 3: And Pete, you've been around a lot of really high
- 1:05:48Speaker 3: end professional football players and a lot of high end quarterbacks,
- 1:05:52Speaker 3: and I allays speak to the quarterbacks. There's something about
- 1:05:55Speaker 3: every good or great quarterback that is common. There's a
- 1:05:59Speaker 3: little bit of you know, you can kiss it where
- 1:06:03Speaker 3: the sun doesn't shine if you don't mind. Like there's
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: a little bit of arrogance and confidence of like no
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: matter what, like they just think they're a bulletproof. You
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: kind of need it, and like, and I think to
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: be good you need a little bit of that of
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: that self confidence arrogance, and you almost have to say
- 1:06:24Speaker 3: is like, you know what, I don't really care what
- 1:06:26Speaker 3: you think. Like I'm good and I'm gonna go execute.
- 1:06:31Speaker 3: And like there's a little bit of that swagger and
- 1:06:34Speaker 3: Trevor needs to find that somewhere because I don't think
- 1:06:38Speaker 3: you can play the position. I don't think you play
- 1:06:40Speaker 3: any position, but especially quarterback unless you have that little
- 1:06:44Speaker 3: bit of like, yeah, you gotta kiss it, you know.
- 1:06:47Speaker 3: I just I mean, you've been around a lot of them.
- 1:06:49Speaker 5: Yeah, and there's like they walk into the huddle and
- 1:06:52Speaker 5: they walk into the huddle and they say, it's my
- 1:06:54Speaker 5: damn huddle, Shut.
- 1:06:55Speaker 7: The hell up, We're gonna do this and we're gonna go.
- 1:06:57Speaker 5: Is the swagger, it's the attitude, It's the it's the
- 1:07:02Speaker 5: I'm it, you're right, It's the it's the it factor.
- 1:07:06Speaker 5: And you know, it's funny because in the draft process,
- 1:07:09Speaker 5: I've I've done this for so long and I always
- 1:07:11Speaker 5: like to watch the tapes of the guys talking at
- 1:07:13Speaker 5: the draft the combine, and and this year I got
- 1:07:16Speaker 5: a chance to. I watched all the interviews with the
- 1:07:18Speaker 5: cut with the guys, and I came away from it,
- 1:07:21Speaker 5: and then I had my ideas on who I liked
- 1:07:23Speaker 5: as a player. But I came away from it and
- 1:07:25Speaker 5: I said, Jayden Daniels has it.
- 1:07:29Speaker 7: And you don't know what it is hard to qualify
- 1:07:31Speaker 7: what it is. You just know what it is. You
- 1:07:34Speaker 7: know what I mean.
- 1:07:34Speaker 5: When he walked, you can tell he's the guy, the swagger,
- 1:07:38Speaker 5: the mentality, the belief in himself that not going to
- 1:07:41Speaker 5: be phased by the mistakes, and he does have it.
- 1:07:46Speaker 5: And I think Trevor's looking for it now. You can't
- 1:07:49Speaker 5: manufacture it. Success will help it.
- 1:07:51Speaker 3: Yeah, confidence helps it, and I think a little bit
- 1:07:54Speaker 3: of it is also Pete is, you know. And I'm
- 1:07:57Speaker 3: not a quarterback expert as far as technique and mccam
- 1:08:00Speaker 3: everything else. But my recommendation to him is, like, go
- 1:08:03Speaker 3: work on your mechanics on the field in practice, like
- 1:08:06Speaker 3: go do repid REPI reper repic, get confident, and then
- 1:08:08Speaker 3: when you go out there, just go play. Just be
- 1:08:12Speaker 3: that dude who just shows up, gets the hell, tells
- 1:08:15Speaker 3: everyone to shut up, get to the line of scrimmage,
- 1:08:17Speaker 3: call the play and go go make it just and
- 1:08:20Speaker 3: like if it doesn't work out, get them all back up.
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: Tell them the shut up again and get in the
- 1:08:23Speaker 3: huddle and go do it again.
- 1:08:24Speaker 7: By the way, a couple other quick things on Trevor.
- 1:08:26Speaker 5: Everybody in the entire NFL would have drafted him first overall,
- 1:08:31Speaker 5: so let's not criticize him for that. And b I
- 1:08:35Speaker 5: was one of the biggest believers in him. I thought
- 1:08:37Speaker 5: he would be the MVP a year ago. I thought
- 1:08:40Speaker 5: he would throw thirty five touchdowns last year. I thought
- 1:08:42Speaker 5: he would throw thirty something this year. So I still
- 1:08:46Speaker 5: think it's there. I just think right now he's going
- 1:08:49Speaker 5: through something and he's got to get out of it,
- 1:08:52Speaker 5: and they have to help him get out of it.
- 1:08:54Speaker 7: They haven't developed them and so they have to help
- 1:08:56Speaker 7: them get out of it.
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: All right, guys, You guys always keep it real, but
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: we're gonna keep it real. Specifically switch at the defensive
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: side of the ball. We touched on it a little
- 1:09:03Speaker 2: bit earlier. The defense has been playing better at times
- 1:09:06Speaker 2: so far, but now Josh heinz Allen in the concussion protocol.
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: The pass rush has not been there a ton without
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: Josh heinz Allen. The concerns going forward, Pete, what do
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: they kind of do with that group right now? If
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: Josh can't.
- 1:09:21Speaker 5: Go, well, they have to find somebody. I mean they
- 1:09:24Speaker 5: have to go looking around for somebody, because if he
- 1:09:27Speaker 5: can't go, what ends do they have? They have none.
- 1:09:31Speaker 5: They have Trayvon Walker, who I still think would be
- 1:09:33Speaker 5: a great down player on the inside and not really.
- 1:09:36Speaker 5: I mean he's been good as an end, but I
- 1:09:37Speaker 5: think he'd be a great three technique. They have Armstead
- 1:09:41Speaker 5: who is a three technique. Masquerating is an end. Roy
- 1:09:44Speaker 5: Robertson Harris is now masquerading is an end. They got
- 1:09:46Speaker 5: to manufacture.
- 1:09:47Speaker 7: Stuff, and so I think that's a problem.
- 1:09:50Speaker 5: If he can't play, a big problem. Then it compounded
- 1:09:52Speaker 5: by the fact that think about that, if he can't
- 1:09:56Speaker 5: play this week, your mega defensive end who's been good
- 1:10:00Speaker 5: hadn't be great, your mega paid corner hadn't played, and
- 1:10:04Speaker 5: your mega play paid quarterback isn't played very well. That
- 1:10:08Speaker 5: ain't a good look for the organization. So I think
- 1:10:12Speaker 5: if he doesn't go, they have major problems. And me
- 1:10:14Speaker 5: and Tony have talked about that.
- 1:10:15Speaker 7: They don't have ends.
- 1:10:16Speaker 5: There's no ends on the roster. Yeah.
- 1:10:19Speaker 3: I don't understand the decision process from camp, the cuts
- 1:10:22Speaker 3: to the building this roster of what they were doing
- 1:10:27Speaker 3: on defense in the front, the defensive line, like the
- 1:10:32Speaker 3: eight defense tackles three true ends one a seventh round rookie.
- 1:10:39Speaker 3: I just I don't have an answer for it. I
- 1:10:42Speaker 3: don't understand it. But the you know, one of the
- 1:10:45Speaker 3: bigger issues also in this defense, and everyone says, well,
- 1:10:49Speaker 3: the defense is not given a bunch of points except
- 1:10:51Speaker 3: for Buffalo playing better and okay, but they also can't
- 1:10:56Speaker 3: get off the field.
- 1:10:57Speaker 2: Yeah, in time of possession for the other teams.
- 1:10:59Speaker 3: I mean so, like I was just looking it up,
- 1:11:01Speaker 3: So time and possession this year, Miami had over thirty
- 1:11:03Speaker 3: three minutes, Cleveland had over thirty four, and that's one
- 1:11:06Speaker 3: of the worst offensives in the history of mankind. Buffalo
- 1:11:11Speaker 3: had over thirty one, and the only reason they had
- 1:11:13Speaker 3: more because in the second half they gave up and
- 1:11:15Speaker 3: started playing backups. And the Texans had over thirty three.
- 1:11:19Speaker 3: Like we're not on the field, and that the defense
- 1:11:22Speaker 3: creates no turnovers because they don't get any pressure.
- 1:11:26Speaker 2: They have none, right, No, until yep, only special teams turns.
- 1:11:29Speaker 3: Special team's got the muff and they don't get off
- 1:11:32Speaker 3: the fuck field.
- 1:11:33Speaker 8: And so.
- 1:11:35Speaker 3: Where does the pass us come from? Without Josh. I
- 1:11:38Speaker 3: don't know. I don't know. Ryan Nilsen does not like
- 1:11:41Speaker 3: the Blitz very much, but he might have to dial
- 1:11:43Speaker 3: with the blitz.
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: Is that something they can look into though, because I mean,
- 1:11:45Speaker 2: we saw them they didn't want to do much zone.
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: They saw them change a little bit batter.
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: Because they can't. They can't run with the guys.
- 1:11:53Speaker 5: They can't. You want to play man to man cover,
- 1:11:56Speaker 5: you gotta run a little bit.
- 1:11:57Speaker 3: And you got to rush the passer. You got to
- 1:11:58Speaker 3: get to the quarterback here and play me because you
- 1:12:00Speaker 3: only can run for so long.
- 1:12:02Speaker 5: But okay, even in some scenario, in emergency scenario, maybe
- 1:12:05Speaker 5: you could put play Devin Lloyd as he's rushed something.
- 1:12:07Speaker 5: There's an end in his career and college he did it,
- 1:12:10Speaker 5: but he's not an end. It's just emergency types of
- 1:12:12Speaker 5: But he's not even healthy now. Anyways.
- 1:12:15Speaker 3: I don't know. There's no simple answer to this because
- 1:12:19Speaker 3: with Josh healthy, they're not getting a ton of pressure
- 1:12:22Speaker 3: because no one's really winning inside. Roy had one good
- 1:12:25Speaker 3: on the stunt, so maybe they can do more stunts
- 1:12:27Speaker 3: more ts ET's three man games.
- 1:12:30Speaker 7: They don't do a lot of that.
- 1:12:31Speaker 3: Eat No, that's what I'm saying, maybe you dial that
- 1:12:33Speaker 3: up some.
- 1:12:33Speaker 5: More, and and a lot of team you watch tape
- 1:12:38Speaker 5: Tony around the league, teams do that and that's how
- 1:12:40Speaker 5: they get home. Jacksonvill doesn't do it well if you watch.
- 1:12:42Speaker 3: I thought we'd run a ton of games this week
- 1:12:45Speaker 3: because if you watch the Vikings on tape against the Texans, yep,
- 1:12:49Speaker 3: they were absolutely killing that offensive line. And the offensive
- 1:12:53Speaker 3: line of the Texans is not great. They don't do
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: a good job in games. And they ran a bunch
- 1:12:58Speaker 3: of three man games Pete like ttes and they were
- 1:13:02Speaker 3: just gashing the Texans, getting all overj Stroud.
- 1:13:06Speaker 7: But here's the other side of it.
- 1:13:08Speaker 5: There are certain teams like the Vikings or the forty
- 1:13:11Speaker 5: nine ers where you can go get an end off
- 1:13:13Speaker 5: a scrap heap and put them in their defense and
- 1:13:18Speaker 5: suddenly they become good rushers.
- 1:13:22Speaker 7: Like I'll give you an example.
- 1:13:23Speaker 5: The kid Patrick Jones from Pittsburgh is a decent player
- 1:13:26Speaker 5: from you know places for the Vikings in that defense,
- 1:13:30Speaker 5: the way they attack and come after you and everything
- 1:13:33Speaker 5: he's getting to the quarterback.
- 1:13:35Speaker 3: Well, they run a lot of games. They get on
- 1:13:37Speaker 3: the edge and then you get confidence, you start getting going,
- 1:13:39Speaker 3: you get the offensive line.
- 1:13:40Speaker 7: Believe that these four can win one on one when
- 1:13:42Speaker 7: you put him.
- 1:13:43Speaker 3: In a four man front, No, I don't.
- 1:13:46Speaker 7: So they got to do something.
- 1:13:47Speaker 3: So I think dial up the games. You're gonna have
- 1:13:49Speaker 3: to dial up a bunch of games, or you got
- 1:13:51Speaker 3: the blitzmore because I don't like I've seen zero evidence that,
- 1:13:56Speaker 3: especially with no Josh in there, that they can just
- 1:13:59Speaker 3: rush for and win one on one battles. I have
- 1:14:01Speaker 3: not say one.
- 1:14:01Speaker 7: Thing that a little bit flashes.
- 1:14:04Speaker 5: I thought Mason Smith flashed a couple of plays yesterday. Okay,
- 1:14:09Speaker 5: did you did you?
- 1:14:10Speaker 3: Did you?
- 1:14:10Speaker 5: You know in the run game, I had a couple
- 1:14:12Speaker 5: of good jobs. You know there was a push on
- 1:14:16Speaker 5: one play where he looked like and then he's working
- 1:14:18Speaker 5: against a bad guard.
- 1:14:20Speaker 3: Okay, yeah the run game.
- 1:14:23Speaker 7: Yes, But I think he's got a chance to be
- 1:14:26Speaker 7: a good player.
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: I mean, do we have the pressure stats? How many
- 1:14:30Speaker 3: pressures did we even have? Yestualay, I didn't look. We
- 1:14:33Speaker 3: had one sack. I know that for some holds, so
- 1:14:36Speaker 3: I was good.
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: I think they gave led better sack too, because it
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: was one two sacks.
- 1:14:44Speaker 5: But even on that led better sack, I think that
- 1:14:46Speaker 5: was Mason Smith who pushed the pocket on that.
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: I think it was. It was like a group backer
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: because there's three of them. And then Roy got.
- 1:14:52Speaker 5: The sack and he kind of got he kind of
- 1:14:54Speaker 5: come up the field a little bit. But but again,
- 1:14:57Speaker 5: there's a guy who's young at least play. I mean,
- 1:14:59Speaker 5: you know, we have any other guys, Tony. If they
- 1:15:02Speaker 5: don't have Josh Hindes Allen this week, what do they do?
- 1:15:07Speaker 3: I got no answer for you.
- 1:15:09Speaker 7: I hope Josh so Armstead will start at defensive end.
- 1:15:13Speaker 3: Is who else is gonna start? You're not gonna start
- 1:15:16Speaker 3: the rookie, rookie. The rookie hasn't even been active. That's
- 1:15:19Speaker 3: why I go back to the I go back to
- 1:15:21Speaker 3: training camp. I don't understand why they traded Gibson.
- 1:15:24Speaker 5: Gibson, but but isn't that amazing though? By the way,
- 1:15:27Speaker 5: calebon Chason had two pressures yesterday.
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: I think for the just salt in the wound. I think, so,
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: all right, guys, we're gonna hit the brake now.
- 1:15:37Speaker 7: I got more.
- 1:15:38Speaker 5: Jay too fully started for the Bengals at defensive tackle.
- 1:15:41Speaker 7: Quincy Williams was all over the field.
- 1:15:43Speaker 2: We're going for stop this all right? When we return
- 1:15:46Speaker 2: we're gonna do Fanatics fan questions. I picked them out
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: for you guys. Jaguars Happy Are presented by mister Chubby's Wings.

- 1:15:55Speaker 2: presented by mister Chubby's Wings. That's time for the fanatic
- 1:15:58Speaker 2: fan questions. There were a lot of them, as you
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: can imagine. Haven't heard from you guys in a couple
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: of weeks, so there's a lot of questions. I tried
- 1:16:05Speaker 2: to pick ones the PG ones for you guys, Jaguars fans.
- 1:16:09Speaker 2: You can get up at fanatics dot com with all
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: the latest jag styles. Shop now get today's special offer.
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: Fanatics dot Com officially licensed everything. Now, some of these
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: we already talked about, so I'm gonna skip ahead. But
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: why didn't we did touch on this? Why didn't the
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: coaching staff take Tank out of the game after the
- 1:16:24Speaker 2: big run? I heard Fred Taylor kind of weighing it
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: on the postgame show. Totally he's the expert. Fred said,
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: if you run six yards, I'm going to be tired.
- 1:16:32Speaker 2: And I thought he was going to say you'd want
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: to stay in, but he said he would understand if
- 1:16:35Speaker 2: you soub someone out. I think probably because he was
- 1:16:37Speaker 2: that guy getting after m J. D Ran and then
- 1:16:38Speaker 2: he'd get the one yard touchdown probe.
- 1:16:40Speaker 3: But also I think because I remember when Fred was
- 1:16:43Speaker 3: younger and he got mad whenever they took him out
- 1:16:45Speaker 3: of going with James Stewart, and I think Fred would
- 1:16:48Speaker 3: have been say, waving off staun here, this is my touchdown.
- 1:16:52Speaker 3: So I'm gonna I have to I'm gonna talk to
- 1:16:55Speaker 3: Freddy this weekend, the alumni weekend, saying Fred, there's no
- 1:16:58Speaker 3: chance if you were even the choice you were coming out.
- 1:17:02Speaker 2: Give me a choice.
- 1:17:02Speaker 5: He's still he's still angry about it, and the truth
- 1:17:06Speaker 5: be known, him coming out on the goal line probably
- 1:17:08Speaker 5: cost him a chance to be in the whole thing.
- 1:17:09Speaker 3: You don't think he gets in this yere pete no change.
- 1:17:11Speaker 5: I hope he does. I hope. I've tried banging on
- 1:17:14Speaker 5: these guys just like I did for you, and and
- 1:17:16Speaker 5: I'm getting a lot of pushback.
- 1:17:18Speaker 3: Really.
- 1:17:19Speaker 5: Yeah, well you get you know, you got the New
- 1:17:21Speaker 5: York people that always pushed Tiki, So there's a whole
- 1:17:23Speaker 5: block that pushes back on it.
- 1:17:25Speaker 3: Yeah, but if you look at toll yards and yards
- 1:17:27Speaker 3: were Carrio, it's not even not just that.
- 1:17:29Speaker 5: Here's how you get to get the ultimate answer. Go
- 1:17:31Speaker 5: ask Tom Coffin. He'll tell you who was better.
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: That's absolutely special day. This Sunday too, we'll talk about
- 1:17:37Speaker 2: that as well. Coming up, all right, Doug says things
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: like everything's on the table, But did you see any
- 1:17:42Speaker 2: appreciable changes from week three to week four?
- 1:17:45Speaker 5: Tony?
- 1:17:48Speaker 3: But yeah, they ran the ball, the concerted effort to
- 1:17:50Speaker 3: run the ball more than they have you think, yeah,
- 1:17:52Speaker 3: more than they half. I would have to go look
- 1:17:54Speaker 3: at the exact attempts compared to passing attempts. No, I
- 1:17:59Speaker 3: mean they ran war zone on defense, just game plan stuff,
- 1:18:03Speaker 3: but same people. Uh, maybe a little bit more tank
- 1:18:06Speaker 3: earlier than we'd seen in the past. Maybe that was
- 1:18:09Speaker 3: because of the injury. They are starting a couple of
- 1:18:13Speaker 3: deep shots.
- 1:18:15Speaker 5: Yeah, get Brian Thomas or some cats, a couple of
- 1:18:17Speaker 5: shots Crossters and stuff. So I think that's good.
- 1:18:20Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: Is it a fine line coaching because you want to
- 1:18:22Speaker 2: change things obviously you're not winning, but not completely switch
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: up to the point where maybe players don't think you
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: know what you're doing. Well.
- 1:18:27Speaker 3: I think Doug said something that I agree with a lot.
- 1:18:30Speaker 3: It's easy to be negative and if you just read
- 1:18:33Speaker 3: the X and I know we're not gonna get him.
- 1:18:34Speaker 3: I mean everyone got fired to day X.
- 1:18:37Speaker 2: Yeah we're off.
- 1:18:37Speaker 3: Dog got fired, Trevor Press, the Trent shot got fired.
- 1:18:44Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know how you fire the owner.
- 1:18:46Speaker 3: I mean, you can't do that. But everyone got fired.
- 1:18:48Speaker 3: And that's what happens when you're losing. And that's what
- 1:18:51Speaker 3: happens because it's so easy to be negative, and as
- 1:18:55Speaker 3: a coach, you gotta look at it and say, okay,
- 1:18:59Speaker 3: let me take a step back. If I just go
- 1:19:02Speaker 3: in and make wholesale changes, I'm gonna lose any credibility.
- 1:19:06Speaker 3: I mean, what are people think I'm crazy?
- 1:19:08Speaker 5: And I don't.
- 1:19:09Speaker 3: I can't remember who said this, but Pete you'll probably
- 1:19:11Speaker 3: you'll remember. But as soon as you start listening to
- 1:19:15Speaker 3: the fans, you might as well go sit with the
- 1:19:18Speaker 3: fans or there's some quote like that. It's like, you know,
- 1:19:21Speaker 3: that's where you're gonna be. I think John Madden said it.
- 1:19:24Speaker 3: And not that the fans, you know, aren't. We have
- 1:19:27Speaker 3: very smart fans, but they're passionate and.
- 1:19:30Speaker 2: When you lose, they're they're justifying what.
- 1:19:32Speaker 3: Yeah I'm not. They're very they're good questions, good con like.
- 1:19:36Speaker 3: But when we're winning, everything's perfect. Everyone's a superstar, like.
- 1:19:40Speaker 2: You can ask you win.
- 1:19:42Speaker 3: Yeah, you have these extremes. And the job of a
- 1:19:44Speaker 3: coach and a leader is to be able to step
- 1:19:47Speaker 3: back when it's bad. Okay, we're the slight adjustments. How
- 1:19:52Speaker 3: can I put people in better positions? What can we
- 1:19:55Speaker 3: give success? And just as important, maybe more important, when
- 1:19:58Speaker 3: you're winning, Hey, litten, get too full of ourselves, Like,
- 1:20:01Speaker 3: here's some mistakes. This is where we need to get better.
- 1:20:05Speaker 3: And so I don't think wholesale changes is the right
- 1:20:08Speaker 3: thing in the season. You make those wholesale changes in
- 1:20:10Speaker 3: the off season, in training, cap you work on things,
- 1:20:13Speaker 3: you find out what you're good at, you find out
- 1:20:15Speaker 3: here they.
- 1:20:16Speaker 5: Keep going in this direction. They'll be making wholesale changes
- 1:20:18Speaker 5: after the season.
- 1:20:19Speaker 3: That's why I said, that's when you make those changes
- 1:20:21Speaker 3: in the off season.
- 1:20:23Speaker 7: By the way, real quickly.
- 1:20:26Speaker 5: The owner saying what he said before the season about
- 1:20:31Speaker 5: this being the most talented team that puts a bullseye
- 1:20:35Speaker 5: on the A on the coaching staff, and it kind
- 1:20:38Speaker 5: of takes the GM off the hook a little bit.
- 1:20:41Speaker 5: But now as we look at it, I think they're
- 1:20:43Speaker 5: both both in trouble. But I mean him saying that
- 1:20:48Speaker 5: that's where the fans rat is coming from.
- 1:20:51Speaker 3: Yeah, but the I'm pretty sure. And I had a
- 1:20:55Speaker 3: conversation this weekend about this because a lot has been
- 1:20:59Speaker 3: made about that, and people on X have said, you
- 1:21:02Speaker 3: know about the teams I played on, and Seth Payne
- 1:21:04Speaker 3: had something funny, you know, on there this weekend. I
- 1:21:08Speaker 3: think what Shod was referring to is the best team
- 1:21:11Speaker 3: since he's been the owner. I don't think I'm not
- 1:21:15Speaker 3: saying I agree with him. I'm just saying, to be
- 1:21:17Speaker 3: fair though, to Shod, I don't think Shod was saying
- 1:21:20Speaker 3: back to nineteen ninety five. I mean, Shot, he would
- 1:21:24Speaker 3: have no context. I mean, like, my guess is he
- 1:21:26Speaker 3: wasn't a Jaguar fan, you know, in uh uh, living
- 1:21:31Speaker 3: in Illinois or Chicago and then back and forth.
- 1:21:34Speaker 7: I mean, the best team that he's had since he's
- 1:21:36Speaker 7: been here.
- 1:21:37Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why what he was saying is the best
- 1:21:39Speaker 3: team since he's been here. Now, I could argue the
- 1:21:41Speaker 3: seventeen team was better just because that defense had I mean,
- 1:21:45Speaker 3: Klay's Campbell's probably Hall of Fame or Jalen Ramsey is
- 1:21:48Speaker 3: one of the best corners in the football. You set
- 1:21:52Speaker 3: sack records, in turnovers and everything else. So like I
- 1:21:56Speaker 3: would probably disagree with him, but it's not. It's not
- 1:22:01Speaker 3: an outrageous statement, and.
- 1:22:03Speaker 2: It's a motivator. He goes in there, he's trying to
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: he's trying to use as a motivation it.
- 1:22:08Speaker 7: All it does is set him. It sets them up though.
- 1:22:10Speaker 7: It sets them up.
- 1:22:10Speaker 5: Now the coach is on the hot seat. If if
- 1:22:12Speaker 5: he wasn't on the hot seat, his seat is seering
- 1:22:14Speaker 5: right now. And here's the other part of it. You know,
- 1:22:16Speaker 5: you're talking about this the fans. Guy, here's the fans.
- 1:22:20Speaker 10: They thought that quarterback cured all their misery for the
- 1:22:24Speaker 10: next decade and a half, and here you are three
- 1:22:28Speaker 10: years into it, and you're still the same miserable fan base.
- 1:22:33Speaker 7: That's where there agony for you. For you, but that's
- 1:22:36Speaker 7: where your agony is.
- 1:22:37Speaker 5: That's where it's well it's not quite for it's the
- 1:22:39Speaker 5: fourth year, but this is where your agony is coming from.
- 1:22:43Speaker 7: That's why there is an angry and they have a
- 1:22:45Speaker 7: right to be.
- 1:22:47Speaker 3: Now, I don't I would not have said the statement.
- 1:22:50Speaker 3: I don't think it was because I don't think there's
- 1:22:52Speaker 3: any upside for shod to say it, because what's upside
- 1:22:56Speaker 3: if you win?
- 1:22:57Speaker 2: If you prove the point, it's like, oh, I set
- 1:22:58Speaker 2: it first.
- 1:22:59Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 1:23:00Speaker 3: Like so, I'm not whether he should have said or not.
- 1:23:03Speaker 3: That's not I'm not a communications expert. It's not my
- 1:23:06Speaker 3: you know, lane to working. But I do think it's
- 1:23:08Speaker 3: fair because I've seen enough on x now that he
- 1:23:13Speaker 3: was not referring to the history of the franchise.
- 1:23:16Speaker 5: I think, no, you're.
- 1:23:19Speaker 7: Right, not he doesn't know the history.
- 1:23:20Speaker 5: But even doing that, you know what that does, and
- 1:23:24Speaker 5: you know you've been around the NFL a long time.
- 1:23:26Speaker 5: It causes a split that's naturally there anyways between front
- 1:23:32Speaker 5: office and coach. If the team is that talented and
- 1:23:37Speaker 5: they're not winning, oh that's the coach's fault. If the team,
- 1:23:40Speaker 5: If you don't understand what I'm saying. But those are
- 1:23:44Speaker 5: gigantic in this business.
- 1:23:45Speaker 3: They are. But I'll say this and let me speak.
- 1:23:48Speaker 3: I'm not so this next comment, I'm taking the Jaguars
- 1:23:51Speaker 3: organization out of the picture. This is a general NFL pete.
- 1:23:57Speaker 3: My experience is the teams that have success, the GM
- 1:24:00Speaker 3: and the head coach are on the same page. Correct
- 1:24:04Speaker 3: it's the teams that don't correct where they're not where
- 1:24:07Speaker 3: they're pointing fingers and they're divided. Because I'm a I'm
- 1:24:10Speaker 3: a firm believer. The coach's job. I'm not speaking about Jacks.
- 1:24:15Speaker 3: I'm just saying general NFL. It's the coaching staff to say,
- 1:24:19Speaker 3: this is the type of team, this is the type
- 1:24:21Speaker 3: of offense, type of defense we want to play. These
- 1:24:23Speaker 3: are the type of players that we need to be successful.
- 1:24:26Speaker 3: Their job is to coach and develop those players and
- 1:24:29Speaker 3: to communicate to the front office is this is the
- 1:24:31Speaker 3: style of football we want to play, and so we
- 1:24:35Speaker 3: need these type of players. This body type this, you know,
- 1:24:39Speaker 3: offensive line like this, the line like this, corners, whatever
- 1:24:42Speaker 3: it is. And then it's the front office. The GM's
- 1:24:46Speaker 3: job in the scouts is to go get the type
- 1:24:49Speaker 3: of players, the most talented players that fit that makeup
- 1:24:54Speaker 3: that the coaching staff is described based on the style
- 1:24:57Speaker 3: of football they want to play, and then they go
- 1:24:59Speaker 3: to deliver those players.
- 1:25:01Speaker 7: Okay, do you think do you think and that's how
- 1:25:03Speaker 7: I think. No, I mean asked this question because I
- 1:25:06Speaker 7: don't think it is. I'll be the first one to
- 1:25:07Speaker 7: say it.
- 1:25:08Speaker 3: You don't think that's how you don't think that's how
- 1:25:09Speaker 3: you do it.
- 1:25:10Speaker 7: That's exactly how you know it.
- 1:25:12Speaker 5: But I don't think they're warm and fuzzy together in
- 1:25:14Speaker 5: that building.
- 1:25:16Speaker 3: I am not privy. I'm not here enough, I'm not
- 1:25:20Speaker 3: in the meetings. I don't I have never won your things, Pete.
- 1:25:25Speaker 3: I have never once sat in the same room and
- 1:25:27Speaker 3: had a conversation with Doug Peterson and Trent Balking. So
- 1:25:30Speaker 3: I am not going to weigh in on rumors and
- 1:25:33Speaker 3: in things that you know I might hear. Well, you can't,
- 1:25:40Speaker 3: you you, But Pete, in fairness, you have a better
- 1:25:42Speaker 3: ear around the league of what is said.
- 1:25:47Speaker 5: And and yes, and from what you hear, it's not
- 1:25:51Speaker 5: warmon it's not warm and fuzzy.
- 1:25:53Speaker 7: It's not that they're at each other's throat.
- 1:25:54Speaker 5: But when things start going bad, people blame each other.
- 1:25:59Speaker 7: They look to blame.
- 1:26:00Speaker 3: Not in a healthy organization, they don't, Pete, that's the problem.
- 1:26:03Speaker 3: You can't do that.
- 1:26:06Speaker 7: I'm gonna give you an example.
- 1:26:07Speaker 5: Rick Spielman works with me and and Rick was the
- 1:26:10Speaker 5: longtime GM of the Vikings and Mike Zimmer was his
- 1:26:14Speaker 5: longtime coach. A couple of weeks ago, Mike Zimmer came
- 1:26:18Speaker 5: out and Mike Zimmer always wanted a certain style player.
- 1:26:21Speaker 5: He wanted this player, give him that player. If he
- 1:26:22Speaker 5: didn't make it, he blamed the GM. And Mike Zimmer
- 1:26:24Speaker 5: came out and ripped Rick Spielman publicly for some of
- 1:26:27Speaker 5: the draft picks that he had. So that was simmering
- 1:26:30Speaker 5: the entire time he was there. There's always gonna be
- 1:26:33Speaker 5: And you're right though, the good organizations don't let the
- 1:26:36Speaker 5: ego get in the way. But you know how this is.
- 1:26:38Speaker 5: When a GM picks a player, if the player doesn't develop,
- 1:26:42Speaker 5: he blames the coach. If the GM picks a player
- 1:26:45Speaker 5: and the player doesn't develop, the coach says the player.
- 1:26:48Speaker 7: Wasn't good enough.
- 1:26:49Speaker 5: And next thing you know, you got the two egos
- 1:26:50Speaker 5: bouncing the heads against each other and getting into it.
- 1:26:54Speaker 5: You don't give me enough players, you don't coach him
- 1:26:56Speaker 5: well enough.
- 1:26:57Speaker 3: But you can't allow that.
- 1:26:59Speaker 7: No, but that you know what they all need to do, Tony.
- 1:27:01Speaker 5: They all need to look in the mirror and say,
- 1:27:03Speaker 5: you know what, I'm making six seven million dollars a
- 1:27:06Speaker 5: year a being the general manager, be coaching football. We
- 1:27:11Speaker 5: shouldn't allow our egos to get in the way of
- 1:27:14Speaker 5: this thing. Let's work together.
- 1:27:15Speaker 3: And the successful organizations and the right leaders don't because
- 1:27:19Speaker 3: at the end of the day, the way a functional
- 1:27:21Speaker 3: team an organization. This is for business football. I don't
- 1:27:25Speaker 3: care what it is. You're all in it together. Guess
- 1:27:28Speaker 3: what if we picked this guy, we're all stacking hands.
- 1:27:32Speaker 3: We picked them together.
- 1:27:33Speaker 5: Yep.
- 1:27:34Speaker 3: It's your job to develop. It's not my job to coach.
- 1:27:36Speaker 3: If I'm the GM, and if i'm the coach, my
- 1:27:39Speaker 3: job is to describe it. And yep, I like, okay, good,
- 1:27:42Speaker 3: we're in this on the same page. Let's go. And
- 1:27:44Speaker 3: if it doesn't work, you both look at each other like,
- 1:27:46Speaker 3: well we missed on that one. Let's move on. Let's
- 1:27:48Speaker 3: keep going. And you know what if it doesn't work,
- 1:27:51Speaker 3: Oltimately you're in it together. You get fired together, you
- 1:27:53Speaker 3: win together.
- 1:27:54Speaker 5: I mean but what you get fired together unless one
- 1:27:56Speaker 5: takes the other one out first.
- 1:27:57Speaker 3: Well that's the problem, Pete, and you what you've described,
- 1:28:00Speaker 3: and again I'm taking this organization off the table. What
- 1:28:04Speaker 3: you've described is a plague in this league of why
- 1:28:08Speaker 3: teams do not have success.
- 1:28:11Speaker 2: And we see a lot of turnover in both those positions.
- 1:28:15Speaker 3: Question, Pete, the Balpona Ravens have been pretty successful for
- 1:28:18Speaker 3: a long time consistently. Ever heard of any one point fingers.
- 1:28:22Speaker 5: Up there No Crista Costa and before him news get
- 1:28:27Speaker 5: along with the coaches.
- 1:28:28Speaker 3: How about Pittsburgh?
- 1:28:29Speaker 7: How about Kansas City?
- 1:28:30Speaker 3: Kansas City?
- 1:28:32Speaker 5: No, Pittsburgh.
- 1:28:34Speaker 3: No.
- 1:28:34Speaker 5: San Francisco doesn't really have a general member, but.
- 1:28:38Speaker 3: They you hear anything out of San Francisco.
- 1:28:40Speaker 5: No, because they get along. Well, they disagree sometimes, but
- 1:28:43Speaker 5: they do get along. But that's fine.
- 1:28:44Speaker 3: They disagree. I'll give you a perpose. San Francis was
- 1:28:47Speaker 3: a great example. They picked Trey Lance third overall, he
- 1:28:53Speaker 3: was a boss. They traded him two years later.
- 1:28:56Speaker 2: And they came out of it, and you didn't hear one.
- 1:28:59Speaker 3: Thing out of that organization of Lynch Blaman Kyle or
- 1:29:04Speaker 3: Kyle blame Lynch. Not help that they've got a lucky
- 1:29:09Speaker 3: got the seventh thread, It's got a lot with the
- 1:29:13Speaker 3: last bet. I mean that helps. But my point is
- 1:29:17Speaker 3: successful organizations, football, teams, businesses, families, I don't care what
- 1:29:23Speaker 3: it is. If you're not all in it together, working
- 1:29:27Speaker 3: for the same goal, understanding what your role is in
- 1:29:30Speaker 3: that organization, then you're not gonna have success long term
- 1:29:34Speaker 3: because Pete Wright. The egos, it's all about me. What's
- 1:29:38Speaker 3: in it for me? Me, me, me, me, the culture
- 1:29:42Speaker 3: of me, And you can't have that if you want
- 1:29:44Speaker 3: to be successful, you just can't.
- 1:29:47Speaker 5: Well, there's a history.
- 1:29:49Speaker 2: Team sport, guys, We've got to do this all together.
- 1:29:51Speaker 2: That was Jaguars fan questions. I'm sure you guys got
- 1:29:54Speaker 2: a lot of answers out of all that. Stay with

- 1:30:17Speaker 2: their first win. Let's look around the NFL as well.
- 1:30:20Speaker 2: Cowboys and Giants on Thursday, your typical Thursday night game.
- 1:30:23Speaker 2: Not good there, Bengals were winless, but they got to
- 1:30:25Speaker 2: win over the Panthers this week. Pete, which one of
- 1:30:30Speaker 2: any games that stood out to you on Sunday? I'll
- 1:30:31Speaker 2: go through some of these scores, but anyone that you were.
- 1:30:34Speaker 7: Watching, Yeah, well, I mean we watched them all.
- 1:30:37Speaker 5: We send a screen room. But one of the games
- 1:30:39Speaker 5: that the Colts won a game with Joe Flacco coming
- 1:30:42Speaker 5: off the bench. And I know Jacksonville plays them this week.
- 1:30:45Speaker 2: Yeah, ed that hurts, Peter.
- 1:30:47Speaker 5: Jacksonville has a history of beating the Colts up in Jacksonville.
- 1:30:52Speaker 7: But would you rather play Joe Flacco? We see.
- 1:30:55Speaker 3: It's so funny you bring that up because Kain and
- 1:30:57Speaker 3: I talked about it. We talked abound the bus last
- 1:30:59Speaker 3: night when we heard I'd rather play Anthony Richardson.
- 1:31:04Speaker 2: Absolutely, of course you would.
- 1:31:06Speaker 5: And by the way, the receivers look so happy on Sunday,
- 1:31:11Speaker 5: I mean, you look, Anthony richards is a kid.
- 1:31:13Speaker 7: He could develop, but he's not. He can't.
- 1:31:15Speaker 5: He's completing under fifty percent of his passes and Joe
- 1:31:18Speaker 5: Flacker goes in there and Michael Pittman goes for over
- 1:31:20Speaker 5: one hundred. He was happy.
- 1:31:22Speaker 7: So, yeah, you'd rather play Anthony Richardson than Joe Flack.
- 1:31:25Speaker 3: Who do you think they play this week?
- 1:31:27Speaker 5: Well, they say his hip pointer is not that bad,
- 1:31:29Speaker 5: so we'll see, we'll see, We'll.
- 1:31:31Speaker 2: See if it flares up later in the week.
- 1:31:33Speaker 3: Well, that's one thing that if he if they do
- 1:31:35Speaker 3: start Anthony Richardson, you want to tackle him like gently
- 1:31:38Speaker 3: so he stays there. Yes, remember it was a number
- 1:31:43Speaker 3: of years ago, Pete, I can't remember. You probably remember this.
- 1:31:46Speaker 3: We're playing the Titans and Mariota had gotten demoted to
- 1:31:50Speaker 3: the backup and I can't remember who the starter was,
- 1:31:54Speaker 3: but we knocked him out early in the game, and
- 1:31:57Speaker 3: then Mariota came in and just ran all over us, Roger,
- 1:32:00Speaker 3: and they ended up beating us because of Mariota. I'm like, yeah, Allie,
- 1:32:04Speaker 3: I wish.
- 1:32:04Speaker 5: You would sink really did some good things.
- 1:32:07Speaker 3: He's a good quarterback, knows how to win. He's won
- 1:32:09Speaker 3: a Super Bowl last year.
- 1:32:11Speaker 5: Baltimore got right last night too. That was impressive.
- 1:32:15Speaker 2: Also getting about that guy, Well, we looked like on
- 1:32:18Speaker 2: Monday Night football and then the Bills go to Baltimore
- 1:32:20Speaker 2: and you see that, Well, we don't have to play Baltimore.
- 1:32:23Speaker 2: You know that.
- 1:32:24Speaker 7: It's also the NFL want to parody the Bills.
- 1:32:28Speaker 5: Short week for the Bills out on the road against
- 1:32:30Speaker 5: a team that's you know, back room.
- 1:32:32Speaker 3: So yeah, it's tough and they had to win.
- 1:32:34Speaker 5: Yeah, week to week.
- 1:32:35Speaker 2: How about that Broncos Jets? Did you watch that, Pete?
- 1:32:38Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 1:32:38Speaker 7: It rained, But the Jets have problems.
- 1:32:40Speaker 5: You know, we talk about you talk about the Texans
- 1:32:42Speaker 5: with their mistakes.
- 1:32:43Speaker 7: The Jets make tons of mistakes, tons of them.
- 1:32:46Speaker 5: And internally, what's that?
- 1:32:50Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 1:32:50Speaker 3: What's with Aaron Rodgers and Robert Solid Pete?
- 1:32:52Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't think. I think that's a little frosty
- 1:32:55Speaker 7: A little bit.
- 1:32:55Speaker 2: I saw after the after the push tug, I was like,
- 1:32:57Speaker 2: I know there's something.
- 1:32:59Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't you know what Robert. You know he
- 1:33:02Speaker 5: was in Jackson. You know, I ert Robert pays attention
- 1:33:05Speaker 5: to too much of the outside noise, if you know
- 1:33:09Speaker 5: what I mean. He listened, he gets he's got to
- 1:33:12Speaker 5: put that away.
- 1:33:13Speaker 2: Pete. Commander's forty two fourteen over the Cardinals.
- 1:33:16Speaker 5: It's real. The kids is the real deal. I mean,
- 1:33:19Speaker 5: he is it. He is it. I say this all
- 1:33:22Speaker 5: the time when I talk about him too. He went
- 1:33:24Speaker 5: to Arizona State. He wasn't very good as the freshman.
- 1:33:27Speaker 5: He is the most improved player I've ever seen in
- 1:33:28Speaker 5: my life. And I mean that, and he works supposedly, Tony,
- 1:33:32Speaker 5: He's the first one in and the last one out
- 1:33:34Speaker 5: loves it, lives it and has the swagger. It's exactly
- 1:33:37Speaker 5: what you want a quarterback.
- 1:33:38Speaker 3: So he only went and spent one year at LSU. Right,
- 1:33:40Speaker 3: Pete was last year?
- 1:33:41Speaker 5: Yes, well, how did you guys not win with him?
- 1:33:45Speaker 5: And you know who else was on that team at
- 1:33:46Speaker 5: one point, Ricky Piersoll, Brandon Ay.
- 1:33:51Speaker 3: Johnny how he was not good?
- 1:33:53Speaker 5: Why herm was coaching them? And they never have offensive lineman.
- 1:33:58Speaker 5: You know that you've been around you you played again.
- 1:34:00Speaker 5: They never have big, physical offensive linemen.
- 1:34:03Speaker 3: Goes back to my point. You build build the team
- 1:34:06Speaker 3: inside out. Once you have a quarterback inside out.
- 1:34:09Speaker 2: Pete Bears got their first win to Caleb Williams. How
- 1:34:12Speaker 2: did he look to you?
- 1:34:14Speaker 7: Sorry? He's getting better?
- 1:34:18Speaker 8: You know?
- 1:34:18Speaker 5: The Rams are so undermanned though, I mean the they
- 1:34:20Speaker 5: didn't for all the talk of how great he was
- 1:34:23Speaker 5: on Sunday, theydn't put up a lot of points though
- 1:34:25Speaker 5: against the Rams team that came in give it up
- 1:34:26Speaker 5: more twenty plus pass plays than any team in the
- 1:34:29Speaker 5: league because they're so banged up on defense. By the way,
- 1:34:31Speaker 5: the two Florida State kids on the Rams, they're gonna
- 1:34:34Speaker 5: be really good both Fisk and U and Verse, they're
- 1:34:38Speaker 5: gonna be really good.
- 1:34:38Speaker 2: Verse.
- 1:34:40Speaker 3: That Bears defense is pretty good too, isn't it.
- 1:34:42Speaker 5: Pete really good?
- 1:34:43Speaker 3: Yeah, that's gonna be a tough game. And yeah in London.
- 1:34:47Speaker 2: Absolutely, do the Titans get their first win tonight? Anybody,
- 1:34:51Speaker 2: any takers?
- 1:34:52Speaker 5: I think that.
- 1:34:53Speaker 7: I think the Titans win.
- 1:34:55Speaker 5: I think the Titans win. Do you really?
- 1:34:56Speaker 2: Tyler Huntley is starting for the Dolphins.
- 1:34:58Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't.
- 1:34:59Speaker 5: I just don't think.
- 1:35:01Speaker 2: I just don't not the answer.
- 1:35:02Speaker 7: I'll take his man.
- 1:35:03Speaker 5: Levis has actually played pretty good except for his dumb mistakes.
- 1:35:06Speaker 5: If he doesn't make a dumb mistake, he's gonna play well.
- 1:35:08Speaker 5: And remember he beat them last year in Miami.
- 1:35:12Speaker 3: Well, Ky, are you gonna try to shot at the
- 1:35:15Speaker 3: Monday Night inture like Jack? Yeah, take a shot.
- 1:35:17Speaker 2: Okay, go for it. Monday Night Football, We have a
- 1:35:21Speaker 2: doubleheader coming your way. We start out in South Florida
- 1:35:24Speaker 2: with two teams desperate for a win. Tyler Huntley starting
- 1:35:27Speaker 2: for the Dolphins and the Titans, the only other winless
- 1:35:30Speaker 2: team in football. Kickoff at seven thirty five. The late
- 1:35:33Speaker 2: game head north to the Motor City as the undefeated
- 1:35:35Speaker 2: Seahawks head to town looking for an upset over the Lions.
- 1:35:39Speaker 2: Who you got.
- 1:35:40Speaker 3: I love it. Well done, guy, well done. I'm going
- 1:35:44Speaker 3: Lions over Seahawks, and uh, I'm gonna go with the Titans.
- 1:35:49Speaker 3: I think the Dolphins have issues across the board.
- 1:35:53Speaker 5: Well, yeah, they should have lost to the Jaguars. That
- 1:35:55Speaker 5: tells you all the issues they I'll take the Titans
- 1:35:59Speaker 5: and I'm gonna take the Lions as well. I think
- 1:36:01Speaker 5: the Lions. Look, the Seahawks are three and zero. They
- 1:36:04Speaker 5: beat Bo Knicks in his first start at home. They
- 1:36:07Speaker 5: beat Twuillis Dolphins last week, and they beat the Patriots
- 1:36:11Speaker 5: on the road. That's their three wins.
- 1:36:13Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I actually think the Lions hang a
- 1:36:16Speaker 3: pretty good number on them.
- 1:36:17Speaker 2: All right, we do want to quickly mention special game
- 1:36:20Speaker 2: this week week.
- 1:36:21Speaker 3: Yeah, alumni weekend. All the guys we back. Would be
- 1:36:24Speaker 3: a lot of fun to see everybody. But most importantly,
- 1:36:26Speaker 3: we are honoring and putting the architect of this franchise
- 1:36:31Speaker 3: from the beginning and the head coach of the original team,
