Speaker 1: Welcome to the Doug Peterson Show. JP Shadrick and former
0:09
Speaker 1: Jaguar Jeff Logoman discuss the latest Jaguars news with the
0:12
Speaker 1: head coach. The Doug Peterson Show starts right now.
0:17
Speaker 2: Welcome in the Doug Peterson Show from Michigan. The Jaguars
0:21
Speaker 2: and the Lions joint practices Wednesday Thursday, and now preparing
0:26
Speaker 2: for Week two of the preseason coming up Saturday, one
0:29
Speaker 2: o'clock Ford Field at Downtown Detroit, the Lions entertaining the
0:32
Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars. J P Shadrick, Jeff Logoman. We'll hear from
0:36
Speaker 2: the head coach back in studio with us week one
0:38
Speaker 2: before the Jaguars facing Indianapolis Colts. They're kind of busy
0:42
Speaker 2: this time of year. Training camp underway, the joint practices,
0:45
Speaker 2: and then of course next week really kind of ramping
0:47
Speaker 2: up preparations and address rehearsal scenario for the Dolphins coming
0:52
Speaker 2: to town next week. Then they got to cut the
0:54
Speaker 2: roster down everything that comes with that. Then there's the
0:58
Speaker 2: kind of the bye weekend before the ragular season begins,
1:01
Speaker 2: so there's a lot to get to. We'll hear from
1:03
Speaker 2: Doug again in a few weeks time. We're gonna hear
1:05
Speaker 2: from him coming up in a little bit from his
1:07
Speaker 2: press conference earlier this week. But hey, two days on
1:10
Speaker 2: the practice field here in Detroit. Logs pads on Wednesday
1:14
Speaker 2: and no pads today, but plenty of good work getting in.
1:17
Speaker 2: Both teams feel like they're ascending. The Lions in the
1:21
Speaker 2: NFC North. It's a totally changed division now Aaron Rodgers
1:24
Speaker 2: is in New York. That changes the dynamic of the
1:27
Speaker 2: entire division. And they were right there on the doorstep
1:30
Speaker 2: last year anyway, and maybe they can take that next step.
1:33
Speaker 2: The Jags broke through and got to the playoffs in
1:36
Speaker 2: a wild rally at the end. They're built for something
1:40
Speaker 2: great ahead. So it's two ascending teams feeling like they're
1:43
Speaker 2: getting a lot of work done this week. Well. Both
1:45
Speaker 2: teams ended last year on a real positive note, even
1:48
Speaker 2: though the Detroit Lions didn't make the playoffs, to be
1:51
Speaker 2: able to beat the Green Bay Packers, and here's the thing,
1:55
Speaker 2: I think that was impressive. I think they knew before
1:57
Speaker 2: the game that they were out of the playoffs, but
1:59
Speaker 2: yet they still beat the Green Bay Packers, which gave
2:03
Speaker 2: them a sweep of the Green Bay Packers, which has
2:05
Speaker 2: been the team that's been controlling that Central Division for
2:09
Speaker 2: many years. And so I gave a lot of credit
2:12
Speaker 2: to Dan Campbell for motivating his football team and playing
2:16
Speaker 2: in an excellent game and winning that game in a
2:20
Speaker 2: game that really didn't have any importance. And they finished
2:24
Speaker 2: the season. I mean they started the season out at
2:26
Speaker 2: one and six and then they ended up finishing it strong.
2:29
Speaker 2: So credit to Dan Campbell, and there's a lot of excitement.
2:31
Speaker 2: They were nine and eight to finish the season. The
2:34
Speaker 2: Jaguars were nine and eight won the division. So I
2:36
Speaker 2: think both teams were excited about the year. And talked
2:39
Speaker 2: with Dan Campbell a little bit after practice today, you know,
2:41
Speaker 2: an old player kind of talking to another old player,
2:44
Speaker 2: and I asked him about his football team, and he said, look,
2:46
Speaker 2: we're really excited about our football team. We feel like
2:49
Speaker 2: we got a real good chance. And he really appreciated
2:52
Speaker 2: the work of yesterday and today that they had with
2:56
Speaker 2: the Jaguars, and he said that, you know, any time
2:59
Speaker 2: you can get a look against different scheme, which the
3:03
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions run more of a four to three of
3:05
Speaker 2: the defense, right the Jaguars run a three to four,
3:08
Speaker 2: so it's a different scheme. Look there. But then he
3:10
Speaker 2: also was going on and on and on about the
3:13
Speaker 2: Jaguars length that they have on defense. When you look
3:17
Speaker 2: at Trayvon and Josh and roberts Goosis and Roy Robertson Harris,
3:22
Speaker 2: I mean some big, tall fellows, you know. And whereas
3:25
Speaker 2: his defensive line, he's got some length on the edge
3:29
Speaker 2: there with Aiden Hutchinson, but besides him, there's not as
3:32
Speaker 2: much length. And so he felt it was great work
3:35
Speaker 2: for his football team, also great work for his defense
3:38
Speaker 2: against an offense that has a lot of talent like
3:40
Speaker 2: the Jaguars do. So I think both head coaches came
3:44
Speaker 2: away from these two days with a real positive attitude
3:48
Speaker 2: towards what they accomplished in two days. We've had a
3:51
Speaker 2: really first hand look at the Jaguars offensive training camp,
3:55
Speaker 2: of course, and we haven't seen the full the full
3:59
Speaker 2: go off. They're far away from that. They're gonna hold
4:01
Speaker 2: all that until Week one of the regular season. But
4:04
Speaker 2: you're seeing in moments in practice out here in Detroit
4:07
Speaker 2: some of the same things we've seen against the Jaguars
4:09
Speaker 2: back home, right. I mean, these guys are dynamic at
4:13
Speaker 2: wide receiver. They're able to get open in the red
4:16
Speaker 2: zone plenty of seven on seven and team red zone,
4:20
Speaker 2: goal line corner touchdown passes, and that's what kind of
4:23
Speaker 2: stood out to me this week. You're gonna see, I
4:27
Speaker 2: don't want to say a basic you're gonna see the
4:28
Speaker 2: meat and potatoes offensive game plan in these joint type
4:33
Speaker 2: of practices. Okay, you're not gonna see. Okay, we've designed
4:37
Speaker 2: a play because they like to play cover two man
4:41
Speaker 2: when we get to this particular yard line right and
4:43
Speaker 2: number X is over here now, and we can take
4:46
Speaker 2: advantage of this matchup our guy against that guy. Pre
4:49
Speaker 2: snap motions. No, none of that. None of that, okay,
4:53
Speaker 2: And you won't see any of that on Saturday at
4:55
Speaker 2: one o'clock against the Detroit Lions either, because that's just
4:58
Speaker 2: not what this preseason about. This preseason about working the
5:01
Speaker 2: core of your offense, getting an honest evaluation of your personnel.
5:05
Speaker 2: You start game planning. You'll have a little bit of
5:07
Speaker 2: a game plan with the Miami Dolphin, just because you
5:09
Speaker 2: want to see how some of these guys on the
5:12
Speaker 2: fringe of the roster can digest an offensive game plan,
5:16
Speaker 2: how they can handle it. But for the most part,
5:18
Speaker 2: the real game planning, and for me, the real specialness
5:22
Speaker 2: of this Jaguars offense because they have some incredible offensive
5:26
Speaker 2: minds with with Doug Peterson and also also Press Taylor.
5:32
Speaker 2: I mean, these guys, Mike McCoy, Phil Rauscher, I mean,
5:35
Speaker 2: these guys are all really sharp offensive game planners. So
5:38
Speaker 2: I mean that's but they don't want to show all
5:40
Speaker 2: their secrets in the preseason, you know. And here's the
5:43
Speaker 2: other thing. This Detroit Lions offense also has a very young,
5:50
Speaker 2: sharp mind in Ben Johnson. Ben Johnson was, from what
5:55
Speaker 2: I hear, was offered the job if you remember with
5:59
Speaker 2: the caroline on of Panthers, but then pulled his name
6:02
Speaker 2: out of the running and said, no, I'm gonna I'm
6:04
Speaker 2: gonna stay where I am, which which is huge for
6:07
Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions. Yeah, and Ben Johnson is gonna be
6:12
Speaker 2: if the lines have another good offensive year, he will
6:15
Speaker 2: be the hot young candidate to be the next head
6:20
Speaker 2: coach in the National Football League. That's how bright of
6:23
Speaker 2: a mind that he has now talked with Mark Burnell
6:26
Speaker 2: about it, because you know, you hear that stuff, and
6:28
Speaker 2: so I go and ask Mark Burnell, who he's the
6:31
Speaker 2: quarterbacks coach of the Detroit Lions. Former Jaguar. Great. I mean,
6:34
Speaker 2: and you know, I still got a lot of roots
6:37
Speaker 2: in Jacksonville, will always have roots in Jacksonville. And he said,
6:40
Speaker 2: Jeffy goes, you wouldn't believe it. He goes, And Ben's
6:44
Speaker 2: younger than Mark. Mark's been around the game longer than many.
6:46
Speaker 2: But he said, he said, look, Ben is an incredibly
6:49
Speaker 2: bright mind. He goes, He's one of the brightest offensive
6:52
Speaker 2: minds that I've ever had the exposure of being around.
6:55
Speaker 2: That is high praise, incredibly high praise coming from Mark Burnell. Yeah,
7:01
Speaker 2: he's been in the game for what he played for
7:03
Speaker 2: Mark darn near twenty years. Yeah, I think he might
7:06
Speaker 2: have played for twenty years. I don't know, but he's
7:08
Speaker 2: been around the game for a long time. Yeah, he's
7:10
Speaker 2: he's got a lot of experience, been a lot. And
7:12
Speaker 2: here's the other thing. I was talking to Mark, and
7:14
Speaker 2: I said, all right, I got to I got to
7:15
Speaker 2: know the answer to this, because you know, part of
7:18
Speaker 2: the getting ready for the game and this week is
7:21
Speaker 2: that you know how I am. I've got my game
7:23
Speaker 2: board here, you know, the perfect example of it here.
7:25
Speaker 2: It's it's kind of a flip card that it's got
7:27
Speaker 2: a lot of colors to it and everything. And so
7:29
Speaker 2: as I'm doing the Detroit Lions depth chart, I'm going
7:33
Speaker 2: down and I'm sitting there looking at okay, okay, Jared Goff.
7:36
Speaker 2: Starter Number two is Nate Sudfell. Number three is a
7:40
Speaker 2: guy by the name of Adrian Martinez who I don't
7:42
Speaker 2: know him. And then Hendon Hooker Traff pick right, and
7:46
Speaker 2: Hendon Hooker was a third round pick. You know, had
7:48
Speaker 2: the ACL last year against South Carolina and it's still
7:51
Speaker 2: coming back. He's on the NFI list. And then I
7:54
Speaker 2: see Teddy bridgewalk right, and I'm looking on the roster
7:57
Speaker 2: and as I'm putting the information in, Teddy Bridgewater is
8:00
Speaker 2: wearing number fifty. And so I went to practiced yesterday
8:06
Speaker 2: Teddy Bridge and I thought it was a missprint, but no,
8:09
Speaker 2: Teddy Bridgewater is wearing fifty. Yep. And so I had
8:12
Speaker 2: to ask Mark to death, why in the world is
8:15
Speaker 2: Teddy Bridgewater wearing fifty? Right? I mean, first of all,
8:19
Speaker 2: he's a quarterback and he's going to be their backup
8:21
Speaker 2: this year. He's going to probably supplant Nate Sudfeld as
8:24
Speaker 2: the backup. And he said this, he said in the
8:27
Speaker 2: preseason players can wear whatever numbers they want to wear.
8:30
Speaker 2: Because he got, you know, ninety guys on the on
8:32
Speaker 2: the roster in training camp, and he said that Teddy
8:35
Speaker 2: Bridgewater has always worn number five, and so I said, okay,
8:40
Speaker 2: so who's wearing number five? And he said, well, David Montgomery,
8:43
Speaker 2: the running back. Okay, David Montgomery was here before Teddy
8:47
Speaker 2: Bridgewater and he claimed number five. Well, David Montgomery wore
8:50
Speaker 2: number thirty two for all of the years that he
8:52
Speaker 2: was a Chicago Bear. So right now, Teddy Bridgewater and
8:56
Speaker 2: David Montgomery are in negotiations for the number five Brian Branch,
9:01
Speaker 2: who's number thirty two down for the Lions second round
9:03
Speaker 2: pick safety from Alabama who wears number thirty two. So
9:06
Speaker 2: my question is this, did David Montgomery not want to
9:10
Speaker 2: wear thirty two, which will allow him to wear the
9:12
Speaker 2: number he's always had? Let the rookie figure it out
9:15
Speaker 2: because he wore fourteen at Alabama. Fourteen is available. I believe, Oh,
9:20
Speaker 2: I'm on Ross Saint Brown as a team. He definitely's
9:22
Speaker 2: not getting no chance, no chance at all. I don't
9:24
Speaker 2: know the Lions politics, but I don't think that's happening.
9:27
Speaker 2: It's just funny how how you know, one story, you
9:29
Speaker 2: ask a question about why a guy's wearing fifty, and
9:32
Speaker 2: then you see how this whole chain of events for
9:35
Speaker 2: jersey numbers and everything kind of works with a roster. Interesting.
9:38
Speaker 2: We're back in a moment logs. We'll get into the
9:41
Speaker 2: Jaguars offense and some players up front that have been
9:45
Speaker 2: deemed up this week and what it might mean moving
9:47
Speaker 2: ahead for this Jaguars team. We are often running as
9:51
Speaker 2: the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
10:00
Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
10:12
Speaker 2: Welcome back. It is the Doug Peterson Show.
10:14
Speaker 3: J P.
10:15
Speaker 2: Shadwick, Jeff Flogoman from the Team Hotel in Troy, Michigan.
10:19
Speaker 2: The Jaguars and the Lions practicing yesterday and today the
10:23
Speaker 2: preseason week two game coming up Saturday, one o'clock at
10:27
Speaker 2: Ford Field. We continue with some of the aftermath of
10:30
Speaker 2: yesterday's practice. If you guys banged up for the Jaguars yesterday,
10:35
Speaker 2: Let's start on offense. On the offensive line. Josh Wells
10:38
Speaker 2: not out there today. There could be some time away
10:41
Speaker 2: for him. He wasn't even dressed today. He was on
10:46
Speaker 2: the side wearing sweatpants. And tennis shoes. That's right. Anton
10:49
Speaker 2: Harrison left practice yesterday, was back out there today and
10:52
Speaker 2: some one on one stuff. Didn't do a lot of
10:54
Speaker 2: the team or really any of the team eleven and
10:57
Speaker 2: eleven stuff today, But you know there in uniform has
11:01
Speaker 2: the harness on his right shoulder, and you might see
11:04
Speaker 2: him in the game on Saturday. Yeah. The for an
11:07
Speaker 2: offensive lineman, a young offensive lineman, you never want to
11:10
Speaker 2: see anybody get hurt. The shoulder is one of the
11:15
Speaker 2: most complicated joints in the body, okay, and for an
11:18
Speaker 2: offensive lineman, the ability to control a defender is everything.
11:24
Speaker 2: When it comes to the shoulder, you know, that's what
11:26
Speaker 2: you got to have, and that's something that's going to
11:28
Speaker 2: be worth watching and probably gonna be a situation where
11:31
Speaker 2: he's just going to have to manage it throughout the
11:33
Speaker 2: season and then you know, at the end of the
11:36
Speaker 2: season and you take a look at it, see where
11:37
Speaker 2: it's at and if you know, maybe doesn't need something fixing.
11:40
Speaker 2: I don't know, but that's typically when you see a
11:43
Speaker 2: guy where a harness that that means that there's something
11:46
Speaker 2: wrong that needs to be fixed. But with the season
11:50
Speaker 2: upon us, nearly you want to make sure that he's available.
11:54
Speaker 2: And I've played a couple of different seasons with the
11:56
Speaker 2: shoulder harness and at the end of those seasons have
11:59
Speaker 2: had to have something surgically fixed, So I wouldn't be
12:02
Speaker 2: surprised if that's what happens. Tyler Shatley still off to
12:06
Speaker 2: the side after the A episode, still getting some work
12:09
Speaker 2: on the side, but they haven't put him back into
12:11
Speaker 2: the team drills yet. Koy Kronk off to the side again,
12:15
Speaker 2: but was back in there. I think you said it
12:17
Speaker 2: on an earlier show in Jacksonville day Logs. Back in
12:19
Speaker 2: there late in the team periods today. That's a good
12:21
Speaker 2: sign for him and a big week to do that.
12:23
Speaker 2: He's got to get some time in this game coming
12:25
Speaker 2: up Saturday. It's a lot on the offensive side, skill guys,
12:28
Speaker 2: knock on wood. So far, so good for the most part.
12:32
Speaker 2: You had to say it, didn't you, But hey, you
12:33
Speaker 2: know that's part of the game, right the offensive line.
12:36
Speaker 2: Yesterday was really the first kind of big day on
12:39
Speaker 2: the field. Things happened, So let's see what happens moving
12:42
Speaker 2: ahead there. Now that said, you know, we talked about
12:46
Speaker 2: Harrison most likely getting some time. You know, you need
12:48
Speaker 2: to see Walker Little a little bit more, not only
12:52
Speaker 2: a left tackle, maybe at left guard. I don't know
12:54
Speaker 2: if this is the weekend game for that, but we'll
12:56
Speaker 2: see right. Well, Walker Little, you want to get your
12:59
Speaker 2: young offensive lineman reps, okay, and so like Brandon Sheriff,
13:04
Speaker 2: probably won't even play him at all. Okay in this
13:06
Speaker 2: game against Detroit. You've also got Fortner in at center,
13:10
Speaker 2: and you're a little light at that position with Shatley out,
13:13
Speaker 2: so they probably will protect him. Would be my guests
13:17
Speaker 2: left guard. You got a lot of guys that are
13:19
Speaker 2: gonna be possibly playing there. BArch hasn't played yet, and
13:22
Speaker 2: I don't know if BArch will play in this game yet.
13:25
Speaker 2: He's finally getting some reps today and and well, he
13:28
Speaker 2: had reps yesterday in one on one and he looked
13:30
Speaker 2: really he had really good start in the one on one,
13:32
Speaker 2: was impressive and that was good to see because he's
13:35
Speaker 2: battled bat from a significant knee injury that he sustained
13:38
Speaker 2: at the early stage of last year. But I expect
13:42
Speaker 2: a guy like Walker Little to get a lot of snaps.
13:44
Speaker 2: He's a young tackle, he's still developing. He needs the reps.
13:49
Speaker 2: And then Cam Robinson will probably get a ton of
13:52
Speaker 2: reps as well, because you know what, pretty soon he's
13:56
Speaker 2: not gonna have any reps in or any practice or
13:59
Speaker 2: anything for that none of the above. So my guess
14:02
Speaker 2: is that Walker Little will play a good bit and
14:05
Speaker 2: then Cam will play a lot, and then you'll maybe,
14:10
Speaker 2: say the last series or two for one of your
14:12
Speaker 2: third team guys to get some snaps at left tackle.
14:15
Speaker 2: But yeah, so if some of your offensive line are
14:17
Speaker 2: going to play, but your skill position guys like Evan
14:20
Speaker 2: Ingram and Christian kirk a Jones, Calvin Ridley, I don't
14:27
Speaker 2: expect those guys to be I expect them to be
14:31
Speaker 2: on the field in uniform and go through into you know,
14:33
Speaker 2: the pregame, I'm up, and then after that, okay, put
14:36
Speaker 2: pick the pads off and put your jersey on over
14:38
Speaker 2: top of it, and let's root your teammates on because
14:41
Speaker 2: I mean, let's be honest. The wide receiver group is
14:44
Speaker 2: one of those positions where you need to figure out
14:46
Speaker 2: who the last one or two players to make it
14:49
Speaker 2: as a wide receiver or special teams player will be.
14:52
Speaker 2: So they may not see a lot of the field
14:55
Speaker 2: on offense this season, but they need to be able
14:58
Speaker 2: to get that get out there in case something happened,
15:00
Speaker 2: and certainly the special teams for those guys will be big.
15:02
Speaker 2: There's some guys that are really impressive. I mean, once
15:06
Speaker 2: you get past the guys we just mentioned, you know, Agnew, Ridley,
15:10
Speaker 2: Zay Jones, Christian Kirk. The guys that are past that,
15:14
Speaker 2: I think it's a really good group of guys. And
15:18
Speaker 2: I'm when I say, a really good group of guys
15:19
Speaker 2: that if they had to play this year for you,
15:24
Speaker 2: I would have all the confidence in the world. In Parker, Washington, Yeah, okay,
15:29
Speaker 2: draft pick from Penn State. I think he's a really
15:32
Speaker 2: good slot type of wide receiver. They trust them because
15:36
Speaker 2: they have him returning kicks and punts. He is a physical,
15:42
Speaker 2: shorter guy, kind of like Christian Kirk, but he's built
15:45
Speaker 2: like a running back and he's strong when he runs
15:48
Speaker 2: with the ball. Watching this film at Penn State, so
15:50
Speaker 2: I like him. Kevin Austin has made some great strides.
15:54
Speaker 2: You also have Jacob Harris, who's a veteran guy that's
15:58
Speaker 2: got the size, the bill, the ability, the range to
16:01
Speaker 2: make the I'm gonna do the ALIU catch. Now, what
16:05
Speaker 2: is the six, five, two and eleven pounds I mean,
16:08
Speaker 2: big dude. So I mean I like those guys. I mean,
16:11
Speaker 2: if I had to play a football game with those
16:13
Speaker 2: guys playing alongside of Christian Kirkhanza, if I had, you know,
16:17
Speaker 2: like one of my top two receivers out, I would
16:20
Speaker 2: have all the confidence in the world and those guys
16:23
Speaker 2: plenty ahead. We're back in a moment with the Jaguars
16:25
Speaker 2: defense the last two days. What have you seen from
16:28
Speaker 2: that group against a talented tackle pair booking tackles for
16:33
Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions. That and much more ahead. Jacks fans

16:54
Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
17:00
Speaker 2: It's not about you know, who's the tougher man. It's
17:03
Speaker 2: about getting good work in and it's gonna be physical.
17:06
Speaker 2: I mean, that's just the way padded practices are.
17:10
Speaker 3: You know, our guys understand, you know that that we're
17:13
Speaker 3: here to work and and to get get some quality time.
17:16
Speaker 2: You know. Done, Doug Peterson before Wednesday's practice the Jags
17:21
Speaker 2: and Lions wearing pads yesterday. Welcome back to Doug Peterson Show.
17:25
Speaker 2: The full availability with the head coach is now up
17:28
Speaker 2: on Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube. We're continuing our
17:32
Speaker 2: conversation you know yesterday logs you set on Huddle Up
17:37
Speaker 2: also available on Jaguars dot Com and the Jaguars YouTube channel.
17:42
Speaker 2: That it might have been the best pass rushing day
17:44
Speaker 2: for the Jaguars in training camp. How do they look today?
17:48
Speaker 2: I know they didn't have pads today. Overall, how would
17:51
Speaker 2: you assess the pass rushing group, that's the guys in
17:55
Speaker 2: the middle and the guys on the edge against this
17:57
Speaker 2: Lions offensive line this week? I thought Trayvon Walker obviously,
18:02
Speaker 2: which is one of the major topics of the pass rush,
18:05
Speaker 2: I thought he had another good day against the Detroit
18:08
Speaker 2: Lions right tackle Panasu, who is regarded as one of
18:12
Speaker 2: the best right tackles in football, so that was encouraging.
18:15
Speaker 2: I think the rest of Roy Robertson Harris again had
18:17
Speaker 2: another good day of Roy's a good football player, and
18:21
Speaker 2: I mean a good football player that can rush the passer,
18:24
Speaker 2: stop the run from that interior of the defensive line.
18:27
Speaker 2: I think he's going to be have his best year
18:30
Speaker 2: ever as a pro. He's looked strong. I thought that
18:34
Speaker 2: Josh Allen had had a pretty decent day over there.
18:38
Speaker 2: But it's again, it's no pads, and so you kind
18:41
Speaker 2: of take a little bit of that with a grain
18:43
Speaker 2: of salt, because there is and I think the Detroit
18:46
Speaker 2: Lions wanted to be in pads today, you know, I
18:48
Speaker 2: talk to their offensive line coach and he was like, yeah,
18:51
Speaker 2: our god, A kind of disappointed that we're not in
18:53
Speaker 2: pads today. But that's what the Jaguars wanted to do,
18:55
Speaker 2: was to have pads on the first day, no pads
18:58
Speaker 2: on the second day. And you know, it's just if
19:03
Speaker 2: that's what you have as a plan in mind, if
19:05
Speaker 2: you're Doug Peterson, then so be it. And I get
19:07
Speaker 2: that approach that Doug has because today's Thursday. The game
19:12
Speaker 2: is Saturday. So if you have a padded practice on
19:15
Speaker 2: a Thursday, that's hard to turn around and evaluate somebody
19:20
Speaker 2: to be at their best when two days of rest
19:24
Speaker 2: typically are what's needed to be at your best for
19:26
Speaker 2: a preseason game, right, Yeah, So if you're cracking heads
19:29
Speaker 2: on Thursday, it's you know, it's hard to turn around
19:31
Speaker 2: and crack heads again on Saturday in a game atmosphere.
19:35
Speaker 2: So I get Doug's approach, and I mean, from a
19:39
Speaker 2: selfish standpoint, I would have liked to have seen him
19:41
Speaker 2: in pads today just because it gives me another opportunity
19:44
Speaker 2: to evaluate and more conversation about live drills, et cetera.
19:48
Speaker 2: But from the ultimate decision, which is Doug Peterson and
19:53
Speaker 2: Trent Balkey trying to evaluate their roster they want to
19:57
Speaker 2: evaluate their roster or going into a game treating it
20:02
Speaker 2: like it's a game and have you know, no pads
20:05
Speaker 2: on Thursday. Friday is a very light walkthrough day and
20:09
Speaker 2: then okay, Saturday, here we go is a game day,
20:13
Speaker 2: second level of this Jaguars defense. So we know what
20:16
Speaker 2: Foyer Lucan has done, certainly the last two years, and
20:19
Speaker 2: he's at the NFL and tackles, He's always seems to
20:22
Speaker 2: be where he needs to be and greats up and
20:26
Speaker 2: getting them and where they need to be. Maybe there's
20:29
Speaker 2: not as much of that this year with Devin Lloyd
20:30
Speaker 2: maybe taking a step in that regard. What have you
20:33
Speaker 2: seen out of Devon especially this week now against a
20:36
Speaker 2: different looking group and you know he only played with
20:38
Speaker 2: I think nine snaps last week against the Cowboys or something.
20:41
Speaker 2: But this is an environment where you're gonna see more
20:44
Speaker 2: against the number one Lions offense. Yeah. The first of all,
20:48
Speaker 2: to talk about Foyer for a minute, I think is
20:51
Speaker 2: a tremendous leader. I mean along the lines of paulpus Leslie.
20:54
Speaker 2: I mean, he's he's excellent. He's constantly communicating. He is
20:58
Speaker 2: the leader of the defense, and and I love his game.
21:02
Speaker 2: He's active, he never runs out of energy. He plays
21:07
Speaker 2: the sixty fifth play like he plays the the first
21:10
Speaker 2: and the second and the third snap. You know, he's
21:12
Speaker 2: just got that energy. I don't know how he does it.
21:15
Speaker 2: I mean he's I'm just wondering if he's like one
21:17
Speaker 2: of those cyclists you know, the overseas, it just has
21:21
Speaker 2: endless energy. Is he going to going to there doing
21:24
Speaker 2: the Tour de France or something. I mean, he's just
21:26
Speaker 2: he's amazing the energy level that he has. But when
21:29
Speaker 2: you talk about Devin Lloyd, and I think we talked
21:31
Speaker 2: about this on huddle up, is that when they break
21:35
Speaker 2: the huddle last year, he used to watch Devin Lloyd
21:38
Speaker 2: break the huddle. Okay, here we go. First thing he
21:40
Speaker 2: did if you're a Foyer, luka and he breaks the
21:42
Speaker 2: huddle and he looks at the offense and then he
21:44
Speaker 2: goes stares at me. He was looking he looked at Foyer. Yeah,
21:49
Speaker 2: and he constantly was looking to Foyer to get the
21:51
Speaker 2: adjustments the calls. And there's nothing wrong because you know,
21:56
Speaker 2: a defensive captain will give a call okay, left or
22:02
Speaker 2: right for the strength so you can set the defense okay,
22:05
Speaker 2: and after that then you don't need to look at
22:08
Speaker 2: him anymore unless there's some you know, some unspoken adjustment
22:11
Speaker 2: body language kind of sign and stuff like that. But
22:14
Speaker 2: that was it was way too much for Devin Lloyd,
22:17
Speaker 2: and it was a sign that he didn't have confidence
22:19
Speaker 2: in the scheme last year and it made him a
22:23
Speaker 2: step slower in the diagnosis of the plays. And that's
22:27
Speaker 2: one of the reasons why he got benched. And then
22:30
Speaker 2: they ended up playing the backup chadma Chad Mooma. Why
22:35
Speaker 2: they played Chad for a couple of games, started Chad
22:37
Speaker 2: for two games, and Devin admitted that his head was
22:41
Speaker 2: swimming and then he lost confidence. And now when you
22:45
Speaker 2: see them break the huddle, you don't see Devin looking
22:49
Speaker 2: de Foyer I mean maybe for an instant just so
22:51
Speaker 2: that they they make sure they're on the same page.
22:54
Speaker 2: But then you see him looking at the offense, and
22:57
Speaker 2: that's that's what you want to see when he gets
22:59
Speaker 2: to that point where I know what I'm doing. Okay,
23:03
Speaker 2: now I just need to figure out what they're doing
23:05
Speaker 2: so that I can anticipate and get ready to go
23:08
Speaker 2: where I need to go. There was one yesterday, first
23:11
Speaker 2: play of eleven on eleven, he drops back, kind of
23:15
Speaker 2: drifting back into the right and Goff whistles one over him,
23:20
Speaker 2: but he reaches out one handed interception. Incredible play on
23:24
Speaker 2: the ball, just the awareness to be in that spot
23:27
Speaker 2: and still make a play. It was really out of
23:29
Speaker 2: his reach, but he made an exceptional play because he
23:32
Speaker 2: was in a place where he could make the play.
23:35
Speaker 2: He was close enough to be there the six inches right,
23:38
Speaker 2: that's a big difference if you're a step behind. He
23:40
Speaker 2: doesn't get his hand on that football. Let's go back
23:44
Speaker 2: to the draft. What was the one strong trait that
23:49
Speaker 2: was always talked about with Devin Lloyd With a lot
23:52
Speaker 2: of the things that they went through at Utah. You
23:55
Speaker 2: remember that because they had they had a tragedy on
24:00
Speaker 2: your cause campus and there killed, yes, a couple of
24:05
Speaker 2: players that were killed, and Devin was one of the
24:09
Speaker 2: guys that helped lead the team through a lot of
24:13
Speaker 2: that tough time. So leadership, leadership, that's that's the character
24:20
Speaker 2: trait that everybody talked about, right, okay, last year with
24:25
Speaker 2: Devon And when you're a rookie, it's it's hard to
24:28
Speaker 2: be a leader because if you don't know what the
24:31
Speaker 2: hell you're doing, you can't lead other people because you
24:35
Speaker 2: need you need to take care of your house, your
24:38
Speaker 2: space before you can worry about leading other people. And
24:42
Speaker 2: this year you're starting to see Devin comfortable and then
24:46
Speaker 2: if he can get everything down, this isn't this is
24:50
Speaker 2: an exceptional leader. I mean exceptional leader. You've talked to him,
24:55
Speaker 2: you see how he interacts with his teammates. You see
24:58
Speaker 2: how much respect that they have for him. But you
25:01
Speaker 2: can't be a leader until you have productivity and success
25:06
Speaker 2: as a player. So if he can get that, okay,
25:09
Speaker 2: if he can get that success, then he can become
25:12
Speaker 2: even more impactful for this defense because he can also
25:17
Speaker 2: bring that leadership skill set to this defense to add
25:20
Speaker 2: to what Foyer has, which would be tremendous A little later,
25:25
Speaker 2: we'll get into the secondary for this Jaguars team and
25:28
Speaker 2: some questions there at that number three cornerback spot. But
25:31
Speaker 2: when we come back, Jamal Agnu, Jaguars wide receiver and
25:35
Speaker 2: kick returner, on the strategies that could be in play
25:38
Speaker 2: in the return game this year. That's next on The
25:41
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
25:48
Speaker 1: Welcome Back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
25:54
Speaker 2: We're back JP Shatter Jeff Logman. The Doug Peterson Show
25:57
Speaker 2: continues on the Jaguars Radio Network from Detroit, where the
26:01
Speaker 2: Jaguars and the Lions practice the last two days. A
26:04
Speaker 2: former Lion is now on the Jaguars, Jamal agnew Logs,
26:08
Speaker 2: wide receiver, kick returner. We know what he can do
26:11
Speaker 2: in the return game. We saw flashes of what he
26:14
Speaker 2: can do in the offense as well, you know, sweeps, handoffs,
26:19
Speaker 2: whatever you want to do with it, normal routes as
26:21
Speaker 2: a wide receiver. He's just grown as the years have gone,
26:23
Speaker 2: and it is cool to see a lot of the folks,
26:27
Speaker 2: the staffers for the Lions welcome him back with open
26:29
Speaker 2: arms this week. And look, he's one of the favorites
26:33
Speaker 2: of the Jaguars staff. I mean that they love Jamal Agnew.
26:36
Speaker 2: You're talking about a guy that was a former defensive
26:39
Speaker 2: back that then was moved to the offensive side of
26:41
Speaker 2: the ball, who was a returner all along, and then
26:44
Speaker 2: the Jaguars integrate him to the offensive side of things.
26:49
Speaker 2: And now you hear Doug Peterson talk about him. He goes, look,
26:51
Speaker 2: we love him. He can play every position. I'm like, what, Yeah,
26:55
Speaker 2: he can play all three wide receiver positions. He can
26:58
Speaker 2: play running back. I mean, and he's a guy that's versatile.
27:01
Speaker 2: And the more you can do wherever you are, whether
27:07
Speaker 2: you're a special teamer, an offensive player, or a defensive player.
27:11
Speaker 2: And this goes back to the old saying that mister
27:13
Speaker 2: Bill Hampton used to tell me. He was the head
27:15
Speaker 2: equipment guy in New York Jets, going all the way
27:16
Speaker 2: back to the Joe Namath years, and he always said this,
27:20
Speaker 2: He said, young man, the more you can do. It's
27:23
Speaker 2: all he would say, young man, The more you can do,
27:25
Speaker 2: and the more you can do in football, the more
27:27
Speaker 2: valuable you make yourself because on game day, the coaches
27:31
Speaker 2: are restricted to fifty three guys. So if you prove
27:35
Speaker 2: your value that you can play four positions on offense, okay,
27:40
Speaker 2: and play special teams. That's a guy that you want
27:43
Speaker 2: to make sure that's on your roster all the time.
27:45
Speaker 2: AGD returning to face his old team this week, and yes,
27:49
Speaker 2: hearing it from the opposing sideline throughout practice.
27:52
Speaker 4: That's part of the joint practice experience. And that's what
27:55
Speaker 4: you love. You love to come out here and compete.
27:58
Speaker 4: You know, we're ready to compete against somebody other than ourselves.
28:01
Speaker 4: You know, we've been practicing against each other for two
28:03
Speaker 4: three weeks now. You know, DB's are starting to learn
28:06
Speaker 4: our routes and moves and stuff. So it was good
28:08
Speaker 4: to compete against other people, but you know, we expect
28:11
Speaker 4: that from joint practices. That Doug talked about it before
28:13
Speaker 4: we got here was be smart. It's gonna get chippy,
28:16
Speaker 4: that's just how it is, but just be smart. Don't
28:18
Speaker 4: take it too far.
28:19
Speaker 2: How better of a receiver are you now than three two,
28:22
Speaker 2: three years ago?
28:23
Speaker 4: Light years for sure, just because I feel like every
28:26
Speaker 4: year I've continued to grow, add elements of my game,
28:30
Speaker 4: add versatility to my game. My goal coming into this
28:33
Speaker 4: year was to you know, be the best number four
28:36
Speaker 4: receiving the league obviously we gotta. We got a tremendous
28:39
Speaker 4: trio in zay Kirk and Rid. And you know, my
28:42
Speaker 4: goal when I told the staff this was, you know,
28:44
Speaker 4: if anybody goes down golf for bed, I want to
28:46
Speaker 4: come in there be no drop in production, you know,
28:48
Speaker 4: plays being made, everything like that. So that's something I
28:52
Speaker 4: pride my cell phone.
28:52
Speaker 2: For sure. It takes brains and smarts to hang with
28:55
Speaker 2: that group, right, I mean, especially in your role, you
28:58
Speaker 2: got to step in if somebody's down and on all
29:00
Speaker 2: those routes. You gotta know every route tree, every every
29:03
Speaker 2: line everywhere to line up in this offense. And that's
29:06
Speaker 2: not just you, that's everybody in the offense because they
29:08
Speaker 2: can flip things around.
29:09
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that that's what that's That's one thing we
29:11
Speaker 4: uh we kind of prod ourselves on in our office.
29:13
Speaker 4: It's just versatility, you know, moving pieces around. You know,
29:17
Speaker 4: even if it's a running back, you know, we sometimes
29:19
Speaker 4: put receivers in that running back you know, run stuff.
29:21
Speaker 2: Out the backfield. You know.
29:23
Speaker 4: We we have such a versatile group with you know,
29:26
Speaker 4: like our tight ends, Evan Brandon, our running backs, Travis Tank,
29:30
Speaker 4: the Ernest Hasty, Like we we have weapons glower, I
29:33
Speaker 4: feel like, but you know, we just gotta we gotta
29:35
Speaker 4: jail as an offense, be consistent and start fast.
29:39
Speaker 2: Start starting fast is probably our biggest goal this year.
29:41
Speaker 2: How do you do that? Uh?
29:43
Speaker 4: Just locking in, making the plays that we're supposed to make,
29:47
Speaker 4: converting on third downs, scoring in the red zone. You know,
29:49
Speaker 4: that's one thing we need to pride ourselves on this year.
29:51
Speaker 4: You know, we finished games really well last year. Obviously
29:55
Speaker 4: that's history, but you know, we just got to come
29:57
Speaker 4: out here and start fast.
29:58
Speaker 2: Now, Jamaal, there's a new this year where you can
30:00
Speaker 2: fair catch on kickoffs. I don't know how often you'll
30:04
Speaker 2: be doing that, right.
30:05
Speaker 4: No, we probably won't be doing that much. Nah, I'll
30:07
Speaker 4: just kidd. If it was up to me, I'll return everything.
30:09
Speaker 4: But it's a little strategic obviously off of the year
30:12
Speaker 4: we had last year. You know, in the return game,
30:15
Speaker 4: teams are probably gonna start doing those blop kicks you know,
30:17
Speaker 4: to the five yard line kind of red line is
30:20
Speaker 4: and those are tough for returners to get get to,
30:22
Speaker 4: especially even myself. So it's got to be decision making
30:26
Speaker 4: in like, hey, this week, if we get bloop kicks,
30:28
Speaker 4: maybe want a fair catcher, just to say field position.
30:30
Speaker 4: You know, you know this game is all about field position,
30:33
Speaker 4: and you know, giving the offense momentum, because getting pinned
30:35
Speaker 4: inside the twenty is a terrible feeling for the offense.
30:38
Speaker 2: I mean, there's not many returners of your caliber in
30:41
Speaker 2: the league. If all these other teams are starting a
30:42
Speaker 2: fair catch, that could give this group an advantage right
30:45
Speaker 2: field positions. Big flipping the field a couple of times,
30:48
Speaker 2: take one of the house a couple of times a year,
30:49
Speaker 2: maybe more than that. That's something a lot of teams
30:52
Speaker 2: don't have right now exactly.
30:54
Speaker 4: And I feel like the return game gets overlooked to
30:57
Speaker 4: a certain extent nowadays just because of the world chain
31:00
Speaker 4: and everything. But it was it was super it was
31:03
Speaker 4: super important for us in that run we had last
31:05
Speaker 4: year towards the end of the season. So that's something
31:08
Speaker 4: we brought ourselves on. Is given our offense good field position.
31:11
Speaker 4: But also it gives you momentum, like you know, the
31:15
Speaker 4: fans get into it, the sideline gets into it, and
31:18
Speaker 4: just the whole team. The energy just changes.
31:22
Speaker 2: Jamal Agnew Jaguars wide receiver and kick returner. I mean
31:26
Speaker 2: he's had the green light in the past Why would
31:28
Speaker 2: that change now? But it's a good point there. The
31:30
Speaker 2: strategy could change a bit. The books out a little
31:33
Speaker 2: bit on this return game for the Jags. Maybe they
31:35
Speaker 2: pop it up a little more and try to force
31:37
Speaker 2: some fair catches. We'll see what the season holds for
31:41
Speaker 2: that group and certainly Jamal Agnew for the Jags. Let's
31:44
Speaker 2: come back in a moment. We'll discuss that conversation and
31:47
Speaker 2: some more of the Jaguars wide receivers. This is the
31:49
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio.
31:57
Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
32:02
Speaker 2: From the Team Hotel in Troy, Michigan. The Doug Peterson
32:05
Speaker 2: Show continues j P. Shatrick with Jeff Loogerman head coach
32:08
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson joining us week one of the regular season,
32:11
Speaker 2: before the Jaguars face the Indianapolis Colts. The last two
32:15
Speaker 2: days though they have faced the Detroit Lions and joint
32:17
Speaker 2: practices at Allen Park at the Lions facility about eighteen
32:21
Speaker 2: miles away or so from the Team Hotel, and of
32:24
Speaker 2: course Saturday one o'clock kickoff time for preseason Week two,
32:27
Speaker 2: the Jags and the Lions at Ford Field in downtown Detroit.
32:31
Speaker 2: We heard from Jamal Agnew just a moment ago, wide receiver,
32:34
Speaker 2: kick returner, and I thought the quote that really stood
32:38
Speaker 2: out for me was he wants to be the best
32:41
Speaker 2: number four receiver in the NFL. He understands his role
32:47
Speaker 2: and this wide receiver room in this offense. It's the
32:51
Speaker 2: big three, right, Ridley Kirk, Zay Jones, and then Agnew's
32:56
Speaker 2: kind of that guy that can plug in everywhere. He's
32:59
Speaker 2: got to do every spot. All those receivers have to
33:02
Speaker 2: know every spot, by the way, but certainly Agnew somebody's down,
33:06
Speaker 2: he's the next guy in there, and he's got to
33:07
Speaker 2: know every tree and where to go and what it
33:09
Speaker 2: means in the offense. And when they're all healthy and
33:12
Speaker 2: rolling and they're all on the field together, that creates
33:15
Speaker 2: just a totally different issue for the defense. Yeah, I
33:17
Speaker 2: think you brought up a great point about being the
33:20
Speaker 2: best number four. It shows an unselfishness and a lot
33:25
Speaker 2: of guys would have the mindset if they were the
33:27
Speaker 2: number four that they hey, look, I want to be
33:29
Speaker 2: the best wide receiver on this football team. I want
33:33
Speaker 2: to be number one, you know, and throw me the
33:35
Speaker 2: damn ball. I mean, you can have that attitude and
33:39
Speaker 2: that's I think was what's unique and special about the
33:43
Speaker 2: wide receiver group. And I'm kind of including Evan Ingram
33:46
Speaker 2: in there because I mean, he's kind of a I mean,
33:48
Speaker 2: he's a he's a wide receiving tight end, and so
33:52
Speaker 2: it's really encouraging to see and to hear that attitude
33:57
Speaker 2: out of out of Jamal because you hear it all
34:00
Speaker 2: the time out of Jay and Kirk. I mean they
34:02
Speaker 2: talk about, hey, look if it's Y's day, it's Zay's day.
34:05
Speaker 2: I know Christian says that, and Zay will say, hey,
34:08
Speaker 2: look if it's Christian's day, it's or Evans day, that's
34:11
Speaker 2: then it's their day. You know, it's about winning, and
34:13
Speaker 2: that's that's ultimately what you have to have. You have
34:16
Speaker 2: to have an unselfish room and that has always been
34:19
Speaker 2: one of the I think traits of Doug Peterson's offenses, okay,
34:24
Speaker 2: in all the years that he's been coaching, is that
34:27
Speaker 2: he has always relied upon multiple, multiple weapons. It's never
34:32
Speaker 2: been a Calvin Ridley centric offense. It's never about one guy.
34:38
Speaker 2: It's about the system, the team, and the production of
34:42
Speaker 2: the offense as a unit. Last year, the receivers on
34:47
Speaker 2: this team, you know, all had success in yardage and catches.
34:52
Speaker 2: I mean, everybody spread the wealth. Zay and Christian both
34:55
Speaker 2: had over eighty catches. I'm the only duo in the
34:58
Speaker 2: National Football League to be able to do that. And
35:02
Speaker 2: I think a little bit of that is going to
35:04
Speaker 2: come into the running back room this year because I
35:07
Speaker 2: believe that Tanks Tank Bigsby is going to be a
35:10
Speaker 2: legitimate guy to share the load with Etn. Whereas last
35:14
Speaker 2: year we saw Etn and then a little bit of
35:18
Speaker 2: Jamichael Hasty, I think this year we're gonna see a
35:22
Speaker 2: little bit of Etn okay, a little bit of Tank Bigsby,
35:26
Speaker 2: and then a little bit less of Jamichael Hasty, but
35:30
Speaker 2: he will still be involved. So I mean that's that's
35:33
Speaker 2: really encouraging when you have that depth at the skill position,
35:37
Speaker 2: like the Jaguars have knock On Wood, and you know,
35:39
Speaker 2: everybody stays healthy, because that's what you want to have
35:41
Speaker 2: through the season. Put it this way, even like the
35:44
Speaker 2: running back depth that room, you're probably gonna have to
35:48
Speaker 2: You're gonna say goodbye to Snoop Connor, who is at
35:52
Speaker 2: what what round was he last year? A draft pick?
35:53
Speaker 2: Last year in mid rounds. Yeah, mid round fourth or
35:56
Speaker 2: fifth or somewhere in that, and he's probably gonna be
35:59
Speaker 2: out because you now have a really good room and
36:04
Speaker 2: you just don't have, you know, the space to keep
36:07
Speaker 2: a guy like that. But that's when you become a
36:09
Speaker 2: good football team. Then you're gonna have some cuts that
36:13
Speaker 2: include some previous mid to high draft picks that are
36:17
Speaker 2: going to happen. It's just just part of the deal.
36:19
Speaker 2: We'll return and here from head coach Doug Peterson on
36:23
Speaker 2: the Lions game last year, the Lions put a forty
36:27
Speaker 2: burger on the Jaguars forty burger. But back in the moment.
36:31
Speaker 2: This is the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
36:39
Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
36:46
Speaker 3: There's moments throughout a course of an NFL year where.
36:49
Speaker 2: There's there's games, there's.
36:51
Speaker 3: You know, situations, it might be, could be an injury
36:54
Speaker 3: to your team, whatever it might be that that kind
36:56
Speaker 3: of spurs a little bit inside of everybody players, And
37:01
Speaker 3: obviously that was that was a moment that wasn't our
37:03
Speaker 3: best and we seemed to kind of figure it out
37:07
Speaker 3: from there and flip it around.
37:09
Speaker 4: After that.
37:12
Speaker 2: I'd say that's head coach Doug Peterson discussing last season's
37:16
Speaker 2: lost to the Detroit Lions at Ford Field, a forty
37:19
Speaker 2: to fourteen final of the Lions blasted the Jags that
37:22
Speaker 2: day here in Detroit. Welcome back to Doug Peterson Show, JP, Shadrick,
37:25
Speaker 2: Jeff Flagaman. After that point, the Jaguars won their final
37:28
Speaker 2: five of the regular season and walked down the Tennessee
37:31
Speaker 2: Titans and won the AFC South in Week eighteen with
37:35
Speaker 2: that win over Tennessee and Jacksonville to get it done.
37:38
Speaker 2: But that Lions game was the last Jaguars loss. Of course,
37:41
Speaker 2: practices this week against the Lions bringing back some of
37:44
Speaker 2: those memories and hey, don't let it happen again like that.
37:47
Speaker 2: But Doug's right, it sometimes takes a moment like that.
37:51
Speaker 2: And earlier in the season you could argue that the
37:53
Speaker 2: interception in London and the goal line kind of did
37:55
Speaker 2: that for Trevor right personally, got him to not throw
37:58
Speaker 2: as many of those anymore. But the team had that
38:01
Speaker 2: wake up call in Detroit and then got their act
38:03
Speaker 2: together and they did a good job. And they were
38:06
Speaker 2: just coming off a big win against the Baltimore Raven
38:09
Speaker 2: so I think it kind of taught them, hey, lookly
38:12
Speaker 2: and stay grounded after the win and be ready to play.
38:16
Speaker 2: And they got throttled. And the Detroit lines were a
38:19
Speaker 2: good football team, and the Detroit Lions have some offensive
38:23
Speaker 2: weapons and some good quarterback play, and when you're not
38:27
Speaker 2: ready to go against a good football team, it can
38:29
Speaker 2: make you look bad sometimes, and that's kind of what happened.
38:31
Speaker 2: And they were able to bounce back, so I mean,
38:34
Speaker 2: they did a good good job with that. But yeah,
38:36
Speaker 2: I mean sometimes a young football team has to take
38:39
Speaker 2: some lumps as part of the learning process, and that
38:41
Speaker 2: was certainly one of those lumps from last year. Last
38:44
Speaker 2: year's in the rearview, though, that's what I'm to look forward,
38:46
Speaker 2: And what was disappointing in that game for me was,
38:51
Speaker 2: first of all, the Lions were up and down the
38:53
Speaker 2: field that will and the defense just had zero answer.
38:57
Speaker 2: And I thought it would be a bit of a
39:00
Speaker 2: shootout game. I really did, because the Lions defense at
39:03
Speaker 2: that time, if you'll remember, they were like one of
39:07
Speaker 2: the worst defenses in the league, and they were playing
39:10
Speaker 2: a ton of guys that were in their first year rookies,
39:14
Speaker 2: and the Jaguars just didn't have any kind of rhythm
39:18
Speaker 2: as an offense. So the disappointment in that game because
39:21
Speaker 2: I mean the defense was struggling at points, you know,
39:24
Speaker 2: in the middle of the season, so you kind of
39:25
Speaker 2: knew that, but I just would I expect that a
39:28
Speaker 2: lot more out of the offense than it just wasn't
39:30
Speaker 2: happening in that game. And I thought it would against
39:33
Speaker 2: a young, not that great of a Detroit Lions defense.
39:36
Speaker 2: Jared Goff that day through for three hundred and forty yards,
39:39
Speaker 2: two touchdown passes, thirty one to forty one through the air.
39:43
Speaker 2: He's back, of course, but look at the well, give
39:46
Speaker 2: me some rushing stats that the Lions has. Swift fourteen
39:50
Speaker 2: for sixty two a touchdown, Williams eleven for thirty five touchdown.
39:54
Speaker 2: Those are the leaders, okay, And so I mean they
39:56
Speaker 2: didn't run the ball, but no, but they ran it.
39:58
Speaker 2: I mean, look, Williams ran it success and and that
40:01
Speaker 2: was I think key. But Jared Goff was just you know,
40:04
Speaker 2: it's having his way. How many times did he get sacked?
40:07
Speaker 2: Let's see here, one and a half two, okay, and
40:11
Speaker 2: there's not a ton of pressure and that's yeah, that's it.
40:13
Speaker 2: You know, we knew last year, looked at they did
40:17
Speaker 2: they and still a bit of a question mark this ship.
40:19
Speaker 2: Where are you going to get the pass rush the
40:20
Speaker 2: pressure from the inside of the pocket. And it's a
40:23
Speaker 2: bit of a question mark last year. It was a
40:25
Speaker 2: bit of a it's still a question mark this year.
40:28
Speaker 2: And you knew that the Detroit Lions had two premier tackles,
40:31
Speaker 2: so you knew that it was going to be tough
40:33
Speaker 2: fletting to get pressure on Jared Goff. Chad Mouvema had
40:36
Speaker 2: a second a half in that game, by the way,
40:37
Speaker 2: and eleven tackles. Yeah, I think that's one of the
40:40
Speaker 2: games East harded. It was. Yeah, I had you know,
40:42
Speaker 2: I don't want to say a good game because they
40:44
Speaker 2: scored a four points. You can't say Andy Defender had
40:47
Speaker 2: a good game when there the offense puts out forty
40:50
Speaker 2: forty points. But learning experience and then the ensuing games
40:54
Speaker 2: that Jaguars got on a roll and it was fun.
40:57
Speaker 2: Let's come back. We'll look ahead to Saturday playing time.
41:00
Speaker 2: Who's going, who's not? Coach Logoman will give us his
41:03
Speaker 2: answers when we come back. It's the Doug Peterson Show
41:06
Speaker 2: on Jaguars Radio.
41:12
Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
41:16
Speaker 2: Final moments of The Doug Peterson Show from the Team
41:20
Speaker 2: Hotel in Troy, Michigan. This Outside of Detroit, JP Shadwick
41:24
Speaker 2: with Jeff Logoman. The Jaguars and the Lions coming up Saturday,
41:27
Speaker 2: one o'clock kickoff time from Ford Field, Detroit. It's pre
41:31
Speaker 2: season week two. They got some work against the Lions
41:34
Speaker 2: and pads yesterday without pads today. A lot of starting
41:39
Speaker 2: reps out there the last two days, so you might
41:42
Speaker 2: not see many of those guys go on Saturday. You'll
41:44
Speaker 2: see a few whose shoes should play it thea. But
41:47
Speaker 2: before we go to the game, just real quick, I
41:49
Speaker 2: think as a player, when you have the opportunity to
41:52
Speaker 2: change up the schedule doing this kind of a thing,
41:56
Speaker 2: you know, where you travel and you practice against the team,
41:58
Speaker 2: it was great because it just broke up them and
42:01
Speaker 2: uh and it wasn't like it was a This is
42:05
Speaker 2: not a pleasure trip. It's still a business trip. But
42:07
Speaker 2: it's just nice because it's different. And when you have
42:10
Speaker 2: the opportunity to play any game. As far as who's
42:12
Speaker 2: gonna play, who's not going to play, I think we're
42:15
Speaker 2: going to see a lot of backups in this situation.
42:17
Speaker 2: We'll see some select starters that that they feel like
42:20
Speaker 2: that they need the reps. And I think on offense,
42:23
Speaker 2: you know your your young players, your young tackle Walker
42:26
Speaker 2: little will probably play if if health, if he's healthy,
42:29
Speaker 2: Anton Harrison will probably play a little bit, as long
42:32
Speaker 2: as he's not at risk of getting a setback with
42:34
Speaker 2: the shoulder. I think the interior guys, uh, I would
42:39
Speaker 2: be surprised if if your center Fortner goes, or if
42:42
Speaker 2: Sheriff goes, your skill position guys, your starters are not
42:45
Speaker 2: going to go, would be my guest, Trevor No. And
42:48
Speaker 2: it's be a great opportunity for that second tier of
42:51
Speaker 2: wide receivers that we talked about earlier about being really
42:53
Speaker 2: a really good group. I think the big night for them,
42:56
Speaker 2: the running backs, you know, Snoop Connor, de Ernest Johnson,
43:00
Speaker 2: Tank Bigsby, This is a great opportunity to see them
43:03
Speaker 2: and UH and then the backup tight ends. I mean,
43:06
Speaker 2: we we've been talking about UH, and we like Ferrell
43:09
Speaker 2: as an inline blocker. He's probably gonna play because you
43:11
Speaker 2: want to still get him some reps. But I'm a
43:14
Speaker 2: big fan of Prince and We saw a lot of
43:19
Speaker 2: really good things from him in camp and then in
43:22
Speaker 2: the Dallas game it was kind of it was, Okay,
43:24
Speaker 2: I want to see him get some more opportunities that
43:27
Speaker 2: catching the ball here in Detroit. Defensively, who needs to
43:31
Speaker 2: play well. I think a lot of those guys need
43:34
Speaker 2: to play. You know. When I say a lot of
43:35
Speaker 2: those guys, I mean I don't want to see Fourier.
43:37
Speaker 2: I know he can lead the league and tackle time.
43:41
Speaker 2: Devin Lloyd. I might get him some snaps, you know,
43:43
Speaker 2: he look, he struggled last year. Here would be an
43:45
Speaker 2: opportunity for him to play without having Foyer on the
43:48
Speaker 2: field and to let him kind of be the captain
43:50
Speaker 2: on the field a little bit. So I would probably
43:53
Speaker 2: play him. Uh, Trayvon's a young player, you know, he
43:57
Speaker 2: needs some reps. I would maybe be in line to
44:00
Speaker 2: play him. Typhon Campbell he's proven, Okay, I want to
44:04
Speaker 2: make sure that I keep him in bubble wrap. And
44:06
Speaker 2: you've got some other guys at corner you want to
44:08
Speaker 2: see out there and maybe see well. And that's a
44:11
Speaker 2: position that you don't want to have an injury. Yeah,
44:13
Speaker 2: that's say so. I think your starters there are going
44:15
Speaker 2: to be put on the shelf your safeties and look,
44:18
Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of Rayshawn Jenkins and Cisco, but
44:22
Speaker 2: I don't need to see him. I wish Antonio Johnson
44:24
Speaker 2: were going to be healthy. I would have loved to
44:26
Speaker 2: see him get a star. Yeah, I've injured his hamstring yesterday.
44:31
Speaker 2: Could be a little bit of time for him. We'll
44:33
Speaker 2: see what happens moving ahead, looking forward to the game
44:35
Speaker 2: this Saturday in Detroit, the Lions and the Jaguars, preseason
44:39
Speaker 2: Week two, and we'll be two thirds of the way
44:42
Speaker 2: home to the regular season. I'm ready for the regular season.
44:45
Speaker 2: I think we all are, and I'm not ready to
44:47
Speaker 2: bypass this opportunity to look at the rofter because this
44:50
Speaker 2: is very important. That's Jeff Logoman. I'm J. P. Shadrick.
44:53
Speaker 2: Thanks to our entire crew, and thank you for listening
44:57
Speaker 2: and watching. This is the Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars
45:00
