0:01
Speaker 1: It is Thursday. This is Jaguars Happy Hours. And now
0:11
Speaker 1: that guy who's willing to come to your neighborhood to
0:13
Speaker 1: break up a catfight, Jay Peace, Well, maybe careful Welcome,
0:22
Speaker 1: It's Jaguars Happy Hour. My name's J. P. Shadrick. We'll
0:28
Speaker 1: leave that little alone. Here's what's coming up. Busy show.
0:31
Speaker 1: I had busy couple hours. In fact, it's preseason week two.
0:35
Speaker 1: The Pittsburgh Steelers come to town this Saturday night. We'll
0:39
Speaker 1: discuss the Jaguars starters and they're playing time. Doug Peterson
0:43
Speaker 1: announced that today Jaguars analyst Jeff log' been standing by
0:47
Speaker 1: to join us, and then the Doug Peterson Show at
0:49
Speaker 1: five o'clock on the Jaguars Radio Network. No Doug tonight.
0:52
Speaker 1: We'll hear a lot from Doug Peterson, though he spoke
0:54
Speaker 1: today before practice, the final practice at the Episcopal School
0:59
Speaker 1: of Jacksonville Sports campus. Well, let's start with head coach
1:04
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson. The question today the final press conference for
1:10
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson before that week too preseason game, Well, he
1:13
Speaker 1: was asked, of course, about the starters in that game
1:16
Speaker 1: against the Steelers. How long will they go this week?
1:20
Speaker 1: From from a playing standpoint, I definitely want to see
1:23
Speaker 1: the the starters go into the second quarter again this week.
1:26
Speaker 1: I think our defense needs to be on the field
1:28
Speaker 1: a little bit more. Um you know that they've played
1:31
Speaker 1: well in the first two games. They just haven't played
1:33
Speaker 1: long enough. Um, So I definitely want to see them
1:35
Speaker 1: play a little bit more, you know, offensively if we can,
1:39
Speaker 1: if we can do the things we did last week
1:41
Speaker 1: and sort of clean up some of the execution things. Yeah,
1:45
Speaker 1: into the second quarter. And he mentioned that the defense
1:48
Speaker 1: just hasn't played a lot. They've played well well last week.
1:51
Speaker 1: They allowed ten yards and got to take away in
1:53
Speaker 1: three possessions for the Browns starting offense against the brown
1:56
Speaker 1: starting offense. The front seven had a bunch of guys
1:59
Speaker 1: out in the Hall of Fame game. So they just
2:02
Speaker 1: need a little more time on task. And you'll see
2:04
Speaker 1: that apparently Saturday evening. But Peterson still has his eyes
2:08
Speaker 1: on the right tackle battle. It's still raging of course
2:12
Speaker 1: for Walker Little and Jowan Taylor. It's an interesting battle.
2:16
Speaker 1: Um you know, I think I think this game will
2:18
Speaker 1: be important for both both players, um, you know. And
2:23
Speaker 1: and I like how Jawn's responded coming off the injury
2:26
Speaker 1: and how he's how he played last week and how
2:28
Speaker 1: he's practiced. Walkers done done an outstanding job as well.
2:32
Speaker 1: So it's very interesting you know for us. Um, we're
2:35
Speaker 1: kind of in a good spot with it because you
2:38
Speaker 1: can kind of go either way and and and the
2:40
Speaker 1: other guy can be the swing tackle or or whatever.
2:43
Speaker 1: So UM, I think this week will be important. And
2:46
Speaker 1: then even when we go to Atlanta and practice against
2:48
Speaker 1: Atlanta will be another another good opportunity for both of us,
2:50
Speaker 1: you know, the game coming up Saturday, to practices against
2:53
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons next week in Flowery Branch, and that
2:57
Speaker 1: we'll see about playing time if any who knows by
3:00
Speaker 1: then they might have decided it by the end of
3:02
Speaker 1: those practices. And finally saying thanks to the Episcopal School
3:07
Speaker 1: of Jacksonville on the final day of practice at the
3:09
Speaker 1: Night Sports campus, My hat's off to Episcopal for allowing
3:14
Speaker 1: us to uh, you know, come out here and and
3:16
Speaker 1: sort of invade their their space a little bit, are
3:20
Speaker 1: you know, also to our grounds crew to you know,
3:23
Speaker 1: to put these fields down and and really a lot
3:26
Speaker 1: of work and a lot of a lot of man
3:28
Speaker 1: hours went into you know, getting getting us over here. Um,
3:32
Speaker 1: you know, from the from the buses every day too,
3:35
Speaker 1: you know, just the timing of everything. And I just
3:38
Speaker 1: can't say enough good things about this situation. The guys
3:41
Speaker 1: have really enjoyed it, kind of getting away from our
3:43
Speaker 1: building a little bit and getting outside here and it's
3:46
Speaker 1: been it's been really good and and we've been very
3:49
Speaker 1: fortunate to have this, I said coach Doug Peterson. Of course,
3:52
Speaker 1: after practice today, the head of school, the Reverend Adam Green,
3:55
Speaker 1: and the director of Athletics Andy Kidd, were invited by
3:58
Speaker 1: Peterson to break down the team. Thirteen of the first
4:01
Speaker 1: fourteen practices of training camp were at those fields for Episcopal,
4:06
Speaker 1: and those fields now returned to the Episcopal soccer and
4:09
Speaker 1: lacrosse teams. Jeff Lagaman joins me, Now, who's um, you
4:14
Speaker 1: played a lot of soccer in lacrosse. I could feel that. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
4:17
Speaker 1: I was big, big in the soccer lacrosse. Now. I
4:21
Speaker 1: appreciate the sports, but never played them. Pretty cool though,
4:25
Speaker 1: to to have that opportunity to to, you know, to
4:27
Speaker 1: go over to Episcopal and they opened their doors, the
4:30
Speaker 1: Jaguars put in the fields and it was really a
4:32
Speaker 1: nice team effort for a couple of weeks. Yeah, I
4:34
Speaker 1: gotta say that they had numerous conversations with a lot
4:37
Speaker 1: of different people in the Jaguars organization as far as
4:40
Speaker 1: the utilization of that field, and they said tremendous. They
4:44
Speaker 1: were actually anticipating maybe some some complications issues, you know,
4:49
Speaker 1: difficulties with it, but they said there has been flawless
4:53
Speaker 1: and so there's a lot of people that need credit
4:55
Speaker 1: for that. And and I'm not going to go down
4:57
Speaker 1: the list, but for everybody that had a part in congratulations,
5:00
Speaker 1: you did an amazing job. I'm kind of surprised that
5:04
Speaker 1: this is the last day that that will be utilized
5:08
Speaker 1: by the Jaguars. I would understand it maybe if Episcopal
5:12
Speaker 1: had some pressing events that needed to get out there
5:15
Speaker 1: on those fields, But for the most parts, school is
5:17
Speaker 1: in session when the Jaguars have been practicing, and why
5:21
Speaker 1: not take advantage of maybe utilizing those fields for a
5:24
Speaker 1: little bit longer to keep some of the pressure or
5:28
Speaker 1: the wear and tearror off of the stadium field because
5:31
Speaker 1: that's where they're gonna be going next Well. I think
5:33
Speaker 1: there are plans throughout the season to resurface the game
5:36
Speaker 1: field a number of times, but they have it ready
5:40
Speaker 1: to go and can't do it every week, you know,
5:42
Speaker 1: and they've got to pick their spots. Especially. The real
5:44
Speaker 1: tricky part will be middle of the season October because
5:47
Speaker 1: there's two college football games on it. The Jaguars are
5:51
Speaker 1: home a lot in that month. Earlier in the season.
5:53
Speaker 1: They're gone three out of four weeks to start the season.
5:56
Speaker 1: Same in December as well, so they've scheduled it out.
6:00
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna work it out and see if
6:02
Speaker 1: they can manage it. I can tell you. I can
6:04
Speaker 1: tell you this the grounds crew that first of all,
6:08
Speaker 1: they were the ones that that helped get this new
6:10
Speaker 1: field established over there at the Piscopal and it's the
6:12
Speaker 1: Jaguars ground crew over here at t I Bank Stadium
6:17
Speaker 1: that that what's amazing to me is that they're gonna
6:21
Speaker 1: be I mean, I'm talking about having an incredibly busy year.
6:26
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're gonna re sod that field twice
6:29
Speaker 1: and then get that thing up the NFL standards on
6:32
Speaker 1: game days, i mean, wow, Uh, kudos to those guys
6:36
Speaker 1: because they did a marvelous job. And uh and I'm
6:40
Speaker 1: kind of gonna miss it a little bit. You know,
6:42
Speaker 1: it's just pretty cool to go over there. It feels
6:44
Speaker 1: like training camp. When you go away. It always feels
6:46
Speaker 1: like training camp for a player. You know. It was
6:49
Speaker 1: nice to hop on the shuttle in the morning. Sun's
6:51
Speaker 1: coming up at seven o'clock. Birds are chirping, nats are
6:54
Speaker 1: biting your legs. It's like whole thing. It was nice
6:58
Speaker 1: to kind of get your head right and get are there.
7:00
Speaker 1: The bus service. I'm sure that they're going to have
7:02
Speaker 1: to do a deep cleaning on the buses now right
7:06
Speaker 1: after practice. Yeah, all right. So Doug Peterson today asked,
7:10
Speaker 1: of course, the question about starters and playing time in
7:13
Speaker 1: preseason week two. We just heard from him there well
7:16
Speaker 1: into the second quarter. He said he didn't promise the
7:19
Speaker 1: third quarter. A lot of times in the dress rehearsal game,
7:22
Speaker 1: if you will, you might see guys come out at halftime.
7:25
Speaker 1: He didn't necessarily say they weren't doing that, but he
7:28
Speaker 1: said into the second quarter again, so just it kind
7:31
Speaker 1: of feels like almost halftime or at least half time,
7:33
Speaker 1: to be well, and he didn't promise the whole second quarter,
7:37
Speaker 1: you know, So a lot of this could be performance related,
7:41
Speaker 1: a lot of this could be Okay, let's see what
7:44
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers are doing. So that if if they
7:46
Speaker 1: have their guys out there, then we want to have
7:49
Speaker 1: our guys out there because that's the best reps that
7:51
Speaker 1: our guys can get. And if if they're ones are out,
7:55
Speaker 1: why would we leave our ones to go against twos?
7:58
Speaker 1: You know, because you want to have the you want
8:01
Speaker 1: to have the competition of their best against your best.
8:05
Speaker 1: That's what you have a preseason game for. If it's
8:08
Speaker 1: not that, then you're like, Okay, what do we What
8:11
Speaker 1: do we gain by having our guys out there? So
8:13
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be an interesting watch, But nonetheless,
8:16
Speaker 1: I'm excited about seeing a lot of different guys that
8:19
Speaker 1: we haven't seen yet. Christine Kirk Jamal Agnew On the
8:22
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball, I want to see Trevor
8:25
Speaker 1: not have kind of a slow start. I want to
8:27
Speaker 1: see him come out of the gate fast. I want
8:29
Speaker 1: to see the defense more consistent. I mean, there's so
8:32
Speaker 1: many different things that you want to see. Because I
8:34
Speaker 1: got a feeling JP this is the last that we're
8:37
Speaker 1: gonna see of the starters, because once you go to Atlanta,
8:41
Speaker 1: you have two days of practicing with them, and we've
8:44
Speaker 1: seen it's in in the past with all, not all
8:49
Speaker 1: most NFL teams, if they have work with another team,
8:53
Speaker 1: whether it be at your place or their place, they
8:56
Speaker 1: work a couple of days together, then you see no
8:59
Speaker 1: starters play because they're putting all their starters in to
9:02
Speaker 1: get those reps and the practices, and then the backups
9:05
Speaker 1: are the ones that get the majority of the preseason
9:08
Speaker 1: game action. So this could be the last opportunity for
9:12
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson's team to kind of get some of the
9:14
Speaker 1: kinks out before they open up in Washington. So what
9:17
Speaker 1: Peterson said earlier today, we just heard that also about
9:20
Speaker 1: the defense, Well, yeah, you need to see the defense period, right.
9:25
Speaker 1: I mean they haven't played a lot of snaps. I
9:26
Speaker 1: mean last week, Trayvon Walker had nine snaps in the game,
9:30
Speaker 1: and that means the starting defense was out there for
9:32
Speaker 1: three drives at a three and out, a takeaway, another
9:34
Speaker 1: short drive, and they just gotta get out there and
9:37
Speaker 1: play a little more footballs. And you want to see
9:39
Speaker 1: the offense more too. Um, even though the offense had
9:42
Speaker 1: more snaps, but the defense did their job. You know,
9:45
Speaker 1: they were looked. They made DeShawn Watson look terrible, they
9:49
Speaker 1: made the Browns look inept on offense, and and uh,
9:53
Speaker 1: I'm sure a lot of the fans love that just
9:55
Speaker 1: because it was DeShawn Watson leading that opposing offense and
9:59
Speaker 1: so good for the Jaguars defense. But yes, I think
10:02
Speaker 1: they need the challenge, they need the reps. And look,
10:06
Speaker 1: you always feel like your guys are gonna need the reps,
10:09
Speaker 1: but the reality is, sometimes you get it, sometimes you don't.
10:13
Speaker 1: That's the way that the current NFL is and in
10:16
Speaker 1: some cases you're not gonna have guys that get any
10:18
Speaker 1: reps at all. Devin Lloyd is not gonna get any
10:22
Speaker 1: reps at all before at some point he's going to
10:24
Speaker 1: return to the starting lineup because you believe that he's
10:28
Speaker 1: one of your best linebackers. That's why you drafted him
10:30
Speaker 1: in the first round. So he's gonna come into the
10:32
Speaker 1: fold kind of cold, and that's a little bit scary.
10:36
Speaker 1: This is Tinton Excel and ninety two point five FM.
10:38
Speaker 1: We're on Jaguars dot com, Jaguars social media as well, Twitter, Facebook,
10:42
Speaker 1: and YouTube. We're on Twitter at JP, Shadrick at Logs
10:45
Speaker 1: five six, and the Steelers Jaguars game is brought to
10:48
Speaker 1: you by Pet Paradise, the official pet care provider of
10:51
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Book today at pet Paradise dot com. Let's
10:55
Speaker 1: shift now to a couple of the battles on the
10:57
Speaker 1: offensive line. All eyes are on the right tackle battle.
11:01
Speaker 1: Of course, Walker Little and Joan Taylor both were trading
11:05
Speaker 1: time again today. It was a late practice today, they
11:07
Speaker 1: didn't they went about half speed, no pads, all that stuff.
11:11
Speaker 1: But they were both getting time with the first team
11:13
Speaker 1: again today. And Doug Peterson was right there a moment
11:16
Speaker 1: ago saying it, Hey, this is a big game for them,
11:19
Speaker 1: and then the practices next week, so it feels like
11:21
Speaker 1: this is far from over at right tackle. Well, I
11:23
Speaker 1: think it's It's interesting for a couple of reasons because
11:26
Speaker 1: last week you had Walker Little kind of in the lead. Well,
11:30
Speaker 1: John Taylor was missing time with an injury, and Walker
11:34
Speaker 1: Little was in there with the starters for the entire time,
11:37
Speaker 1: and he was getting better. He plays the the Hall
11:40
Speaker 1: of Fame game and Canton and does an excellent job. Well,
11:43
Speaker 1: then the next game comes, he doesn't play quite as well.
11:48
Speaker 1: Joan plays. Now he's back in the fold and Joan
11:52
Speaker 1: doing pretty good. And then the last two days, Uh,
11:56
Speaker 1: I thought Walker Little has fallen off a little bit.
11:59
Speaker 1: How uh well, I mean, give you an example, one
12:02
Speaker 1: on one pass for us yesterday, smooth put him on
12:04
Speaker 1: his can. Really, I'm talking right on the old duff Man,
12:08
Speaker 1: right on the can, and it didn't look pretty. And
12:11
Speaker 1: so when you have plays that happened like that, then uh,
12:15
Speaker 1: then you as a coach, I think you start to wonder,
12:17
Speaker 1: can can we trust this guy? And and so I
12:20
Speaker 1: think this this battle has kind of wavered back and
12:24
Speaker 1: forth as to where you think it's gonna go. First
12:26
Speaker 1: you're thinking okay, and I was thinking okay, this is
12:28
Speaker 1: walker little as to lose. Well, then he's faltered a
12:31
Speaker 1: little bit after this last game, in the last couple
12:34
Speaker 1: of days of practice, and Juan has done okay. Um,
12:38
Speaker 1: I think the reality is I like to see both
12:40
Speaker 1: of them do better than they're currently doing. But either way,
12:45
Speaker 1: the best situation for this team is for that competition
12:48
Speaker 1: to just continue to drag on. And because the best
12:53
Speaker 1: decision that you make as a coach, I think is
12:57
Speaker 1: the one in which the players are essentially make in
13:00
Speaker 1: the decision for you to where it's very obvious. It's
13:05
Speaker 1: like staring you in the face, Hey, so and so
13:07
Speaker 1: is better, and if you can't see it, then you
13:10
Speaker 1: blot you're blind and it's not happening yet. There's still
13:14
Speaker 1: some time. You have this game, and then you have
13:16
Speaker 1: the practices with the falcons, and you still have the
13:19
Speaker 1: game with the falcons, and if you have to, you
13:22
Speaker 1: carry that battle all the way as long as you can.
13:24
Speaker 1: But the part that I don't like is that you
13:27
Speaker 1: would like to have I mean walking a little. I
13:29
Speaker 1: thought he had an opportunity to kind of sent it
13:31
Speaker 1: this past game and the first part of this week,
13:33
Speaker 1: and he didn't do that, and and and I think
13:36
Speaker 1: part of that is is the little bit of a faulter,
13:38
Speaker 1: but I also think it's a little bit of an
13:40
Speaker 1: improvement from Juwan Taylor. So stay tuned on that. Still
13:44
Speaker 1: keep your eyes on it, because that's still a competition
13:48
Speaker 1: and progress. Well a little bit later discuss the other
13:51
Speaker 1: battle on the offensive line at left guard and has
13:55
Speaker 1: been a changing of the guard if you will. Um,
13:58
Speaker 1: we'll get to that coming up. Boy, JP, that was brilliant. Yeah,
14:01
Speaker 1: you see what I've one in my back pocket for
14:07
Speaker 1: a little while. P r I Productions, the official event
14:10
Speaker 1: production company of the Jags, has everything you need to
14:14
Speaker 1: bring your next idea to life. Visit pr I Productions
14:17
Speaker 1: dot Com. We're back in a moment. We'll hear from
14:19
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and the week he's had on the practice
14:23
Speaker 1: field and this offense trying to get things going heading
14:27
Speaker 1: into preseason week number two. Of course, coming up at
14:30
Speaker 1: five o'clock Doug Peterson Show, we'll hear from the head
14:32
Speaker 1: coach from throughout the week ahead of this matchup against
14:35
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers, and we're often running on Jaguars Happy
14:39
Speaker 1: Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network. We were just talking
14:45
Speaker 1: about just so many different looks you see from our defense. It's, uh,
14:49
Speaker 1: it's really good for us because you see every look
14:51
Speaker 1: and then when in the game if they throw something
14:53
Speaker 1: at you that you didn't game plan for, you know
14:56
Speaker 1: we've already seen on the practice field. So from that standpoint,
14:59
Speaker 1: it's great, but also it can be tough when you
15:01
Speaker 1: get in these periods. We were working third and medium
15:04
Speaker 1: DeLong every play and you're seeing every different type of
15:07
Speaker 1: pressure known to man, and um, you didn't really have,
15:09
Speaker 1: you can't game plan for because they have everything in
15:11
Speaker 1: So that's just honestly, kudos to them for dialing it
15:16
Speaker 1: up today. You know, they got us on a few
15:17
Speaker 1: and UM just being able to watch that tape and
15:20
Speaker 1: all of us talk about it together, how we're gonna
15:22
Speaker 1: protect it, what our route adjustments, and also protection wise,
15:25
Speaker 1: like what would we rather be in versus certain looks.
15:27
Speaker 1: So I mean, the more you can get to that,
15:29
Speaker 1: the better. That's just gonna help us. But yeah, it
15:30
Speaker 1: wasn't our sharpest day offensively, But um, that's what I
15:33
Speaker 1: was just saying. You gotta really that's one thing I've
15:35
Speaker 1: learned is you gotta be focused on the next day.
15:36
Speaker 1: Not worry about what what just happened, what happened yesterday, Um,
15:40
Speaker 1: really focus on the next one. Welcome back. It's Jaguars
15:43
Speaker 1: Happy Hour. That is Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence yesterday and
15:49
Speaker 1: Jaguars Game Day Radio is brought to you by Vice Star,
15:52
Speaker 1: Credit Union, Do Good, Bank Better, j P. Shadrick with
15:55
Speaker 1: Jeff Flagman. Glad you're along with us. Coming up at
15:58
Speaker 1: five o'clock, It's Peterson Show. We'll here from the Jack's
16:01
Speaker 1: head coach from throughout the week ahead of this Jaguar
16:06
Speaker 1: Steelers matchup coming up. Well, Trevor Lawrence and the offense
16:11
Speaker 1: didn't have a great day. Let's just put it plainly
16:13
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. That's fair, that's a fair assessment. Some interceptions,
16:19
Speaker 1: some miscommunication in the backfield, and at least one instance
16:23
Speaker 1: I saw on a running play they kind of ran
16:25
Speaker 1: into the running back and didn't work out. And the
16:28
Speaker 1: defense is making plays all day and as you heard
16:31
Speaker 1: Trevor say, there, yeah, blitz is it's third and long.
16:34
Speaker 1: You know they're gonna come. But they were showing a
16:36
Speaker 1: bunch of different things and it just didn't look good
16:38
Speaker 1: at all on offense on Wednesday. But yeah, he talked
16:42
Speaker 1: a little bit about what you can take away and
16:44
Speaker 1: move forward, but at some point you still have to
16:47
Speaker 1: move forward from some of that too. Yeah, it wasn't.
16:49
Speaker 1: It wasn't. It wasn't the best performance the other day
16:53
Speaker 1: for which was yesterday, for the offense Monday night, I
16:56
Speaker 1: thought they had a pretty good practice. Oh yeah, and
17:00
Speaker 1: uh so so now you have, Okay, one day that's
17:03
Speaker 1: pretty good, the next day that's not so great. And
17:05
Speaker 1: Trevor talked about in his press conference after the windy
17:08
Speaker 1: Wednesday practice about you know the need to find consistency
17:12
Speaker 1: and so very true, and that offense is about consistency.
17:15
Speaker 1: Winning teams and performances about consistency. But offense. That has
17:20
Speaker 1: to be paramount because the more you're consistent, the more
17:24
Speaker 1: opportunities you're going to have for success as in offense,
17:27
Speaker 1: and and Trevor is a big part of that, and
17:30
Speaker 1: that's part of the growth process. When you're you're in
17:33
Speaker 1: a new system, you have new players, you have a
17:36
Speaker 1: young quarterback. That's that's what you're striving for every day.
17:40
Speaker 1: The one thing that I think that we'll see in
17:43
Speaker 1: the future, and Jpu and Kond we're talking about this
17:47
Speaker 1: a little bit, is that Trevor is still new in
17:50
Speaker 1: this system, and he's and he's got a lot of
17:52
Speaker 1: new teammates, and he's got new coaches and and so
17:55
Speaker 1: that comfort level is is a process and it's still happening.
18:00
Speaker 1: And at some point when that comfort is there and
18:04
Speaker 1: the success, etcetera. Is there. I don't want to say
18:08
Speaker 1: ownership because I think he owns it now, but I
18:11
Speaker 1: think the expectation and raising the level of expectation of yourself,
18:17
Speaker 1: your your own performance and then those around you once
18:20
Speaker 1: you once you get your performance where it needs to be.
18:23
Speaker 1: And I don't want to say that he needs to
18:25
Speaker 1: go around and yelling at guys. That's not my point.
18:29
Speaker 1: But my point is is to is to maybe be
18:32
Speaker 1: a little bit more vocal, and I think that that
18:34
Speaker 1: will come. And you know, Philip Rivers is like everybody
18:39
Speaker 1: and on the planet wants somebody to be like Philip Rivers. Yeah,
18:42
Speaker 1: you know, he's it's got the emotion and the facial
18:44
Speaker 1: expressions and and that's not what I'm saying that Trevor
18:47
Speaker 1: needs to be. But but you want to have that
18:50
Speaker 1: more assertive comfort when with your quarterback in the offense.
18:55
Speaker 1: And that takes some time and at some point he's
18:58
Speaker 1: gonna feel that comfort and then also, uh, the success
19:02
Speaker 1: that he has will enable him to do some of that.
19:05
Speaker 1: There was a bunch of drops on the practice as well.
19:08
Speaker 1: It was going around. It wasn't the practice. I mean,
19:11
Speaker 1: you had guys going off with the heat or sickness
19:15
Speaker 1: or whatever. It was. That the one I'll never forget
19:18
Speaker 1: in the late eighties and early nineties watching a forty
19:26
Speaker 1: Niners football team that was just so efficient with John
19:31
Speaker 1: Taylor and Jerry Rice and Roger Craig and Joe Montana,
19:35
Speaker 1: Bill Walsh, George Seyffert because they kind of went through
19:38
Speaker 1: two different coaches there, the consistency of that football team
19:42
Speaker 1: Tom Rathman was also a part of that. Their their
19:46
Speaker 1: consistency was just so good and the way that they
19:50
Speaker 1: practiced in in San Francisco was a thing of legend
19:56
Speaker 1: of how they ran the practice and about how efficient
19:59
Speaker 1: that they had to be. It wasn't the most physical practices,
20:03
Speaker 1: but it was efficiency. And Doug Peterson is is trying
20:08
Speaker 1: to strive for the same type of thing, and obviously
20:11
Speaker 1: they've got a ways to go, and that's where we're in. Look,
20:15
Speaker 1: the reality is we're in the preseason of a of
20:17
Speaker 1: a young quarterback, second year with a new coach and
20:21
Speaker 1: a new system, and it doesn't happen at a snap
20:24
Speaker 1: of a finger and over or overnight. It takes time.
20:28
Speaker 1: The same idea when we went to New England for
20:30
Speaker 1: training camp that year and you saw the efficiency which
20:33
Speaker 1: the Patriots did their work, and there's a reason as
20:37
Speaker 1: a team, absolutely everybody from top to bottom was where
20:40
Speaker 1: they needed to be and didn't really have to go,
20:43
Speaker 1: you know, super physical, crazy, but they knew exactly what
20:47
Speaker 1: they needed to get done well. And you're you established
20:51
Speaker 1: that over time, and then once you establish it, then
20:54
Speaker 1: then you have your players that already know what the
21:00
Speaker 1: the expectation is then then the players that have been
21:04
Speaker 1: here pass that on to the new players or the
21:07
Speaker 1: young players, so that the expectation and the uh, the
21:13
Speaker 1: knowledge of where you're supposed to be and what you're
21:15
Speaker 1: supposed to do, it's all part of that growth process.
21:19
Speaker 1: And that's you know, it's a very very early on
21:22
Speaker 1: the process here and UH, and it's gonna be a
21:25
Speaker 1: process that doesn't just end once the season opens in Washington.
21:30
Speaker 1: You know this, This is gonna be a growth process
21:33
Speaker 1: for this football team, at least you would hope, so
21:36
Speaker 1: that this team continues to get better and improve and
21:40
Speaker 1: establish the culture and the expectations as this season is
21:44
Speaker 1: going through. And that's the one thing I think that
21:46
Speaker 1: it takes sometimes it takes time to understand is that
21:50
Speaker 1: once you enter the season, okay, it doesn't mean that Okay,
21:53
Speaker 1: we're done getting better now. We just need to play
21:55
Speaker 1: the games. No, constant, never ending improvement continues to roll
21:59
Speaker 1: through through the season through the NFL regular season. Since
22:04
Speaker 1: an x L ninety two point five FM and on
22:06
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com, It's Jaguars Happy Hour j P. Shadrick
22:09
Speaker 1: with Jeff Logerman, Let's flip it around to defense now
22:12
Speaker 1: and another number one overall pick in Trayvon Walker. He
22:16
Speaker 1: spoke today to the media that press conference available on
22:20
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot com. You want to check it out, and
22:22
Speaker 1: he's kind of getting his comfort level. It seems like
22:25
Speaker 1: I checked it out earlier today. As a matter, what
22:27
Speaker 1: do you think he's great? He's a he's all about ball.
22:31
Speaker 1: It seems that way, right, and that's the that's the
22:33
Speaker 1: perfect guy you want. He is a you can tell
22:36
Speaker 1: that he is all about football. I know that, uh
22:39
Speaker 1: watching him the first two games. I was watching him
22:43
Speaker 1: and I'm sitting there thinking to myself, you know, because
22:46
Speaker 1: I always like to draw comparisons of guys. I mean,
22:49
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to say that they become these guys,
22:52
Speaker 1: but everybody has a style of play that you can
22:56
Speaker 1: maybe look back and and NFL history or Jeff Aguar's
23:00
Speaker 1: history and say, you know, he plays a lot like
23:02
Speaker 1: so and so or his game. He's he's kind of
23:06
Speaker 1: like player acts, you know, as far as the way
23:09
Speaker 1: that he moves or the way that he plays. And
23:13
Speaker 1: I kept racking my brain after watching Trayvon in the
23:17
Speaker 1: first two games, trying to think of somebody that I
23:19
Speaker 1: can maybe draw a comparison to and I finally finally
23:22
Speaker 1: hit me one of the guys that I was always
23:26
Speaker 1: a big fan of when I played and he was
23:28
Speaker 1: playing at the same time, and I used to love
23:30
Speaker 1: watching his film and he used to do some things
23:33
Speaker 1: that I just couldn't do because he was just so
23:35
Speaker 1: physically strong. Chris Dolman. Chris Dolman had the length, the strength,
23:44
Speaker 1: the athleticism, and Trayvon reminds me of Chris Doleman. And
23:50
Speaker 1: as I said, I'm not trying to say that Trayvon
23:53
Speaker 1: is gonna become Chris Dolman. Chris Dolman's a Hall of
23:55
Speaker 1: Fame player, but I believe that he can become that
24:00
Speaker 1: type of player as far as that style, because the
24:02
Speaker 1: style that he plays with. You know, the other night
24:05
Speaker 1: when the left tackle for the Cleveland Browns, Jedrick Willis,
24:09
Speaker 1: I believe it is right and he makes that inside
24:12
Speaker 1: movie draws the holding penalty. Did you see how how
24:16
Speaker 1: efforts effortless it was when he went underneath and then
24:20
Speaker 1: Jedrick Willis is almost like strangling him to stop him,
24:23
Speaker 1: and he can't. He can't. I mean, even with an
24:27
Speaker 1: illegal move, he can't slow him down because he's so
24:30
Speaker 1: strong and that's what what Dolman used to do, and
24:34
Speaker 1: that Chris would get this. He always had this slap
24:38
Speaker 1: rip move okay, and then when he sunk that rip move,
24:42
Speaker 1: it was literally like the guy wasn't even there, that
24:44
Speaker 1: he was just running around that little hoop thing that
24:47
Speaker 1: the defensive lineman do in practice. It was like the
24:50
Speaker 1: offensive lineman wasn't even there. He was so strong and slapping,
24:56
Speaker 1: and Trayvon has that similar strength to that, and uh,
25:02
Speaker 1: but he makes things just look so easy. The separation
25:08
Speaker 1: and getting off of blocks something that I want to
25:12
Speaker 1: Von Hamilton's to be more lane. You know, it's violent
25:16
Speaker 1: but effortless, but it's the violence the initial violence and
25:20
Speaker 1: then the departure that what I call it is departure violence.
25:24
Speaker 1: The departure violence that Trayvon has. He's not like herkey jerky,
25:29
Speaker 1: but he's just so strong. He's moving a guy quickly
25:31
Speaker 1: and getting off and then his acceleration to the ball.
25:34
Speaker 1: He's always around the ball. He gets pass rushed up
25:37
Speaker 1: the field and he gets past the quarterback. He has
25:40
Speaker 1: a natural way of going okay, I'm too far and
25:43
Speaker 1: he comes back and a lot of that is just instinct,
25:46
Speaker 1: So a lot of things to be excited about. And
25:48
Speaker 1: just you know, just a guy to throw out there,
25:50
Speaker 1: Chris Doleman and that's you know, and a lot of
25:52
Speaker 1: some people may not remember Chris Dolman, but he's one
25:54
Speaker 1: of the greatest players ever played the game. Longtime Minnesota
25:57
Speaker 1: Viking and when those guys played in Minnesota, and it
26:00
Speaker 1: was it was something to watch those four guys that
26:02
Speaker 1: they had up front, Him and Millard and John Randall.
26:05
Speaker 1: Holy go pretty decent, Oga, pretty decent. I mean, four
26:09
Speaker 1: the best to ever play the game as a group.
26:12
Speaker 1: So how many holding penalties will Trayvon Walker force on
26:17
Speaker 1: offensive lineman this year? He'll get that's strang because of
26:21
Speaker 1: that strength, he'll get plenty. I mean, that's just because
26:25
Speaker 1: when you have that level of strength and all some
26:28
Speaker 1: and you have the movement to go with it, you know,
26:30
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of guys that have strength. Von
26:32
Speaker 1: Hamilton's has strength, okay, but you don't see him draw
26:36
Speaker 1: a lot of holding calls because he doesn't have that
26:39
Speaker 1: a little bit of that movement or that violent departure
26:42
Speaker 1: you're holding people because you just got beat basically, Uback. Yeah,
26:46
Speaker 1: Trayvon is uh is fun of watching, you know, and
26:49
Speaker 1: watching them two games and watching his progress. It's been
26:51
Speaker 1: immense and um and so far everything that you're seeing
26:55
Speaker 1: is all positive and the the guy is wired right,
26:59
Speaker 1: and I think it's important. We'll come back in a
27:02
Speaker 1: moment lugs and get into the injury report. Players ruled
27:05
Speaker 1: out by head coach Doug Peterson for Saturday night's game
27:08
Speaker 1: against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Check out the Official Jaguars Podcast Network.

27:19
Speaker 1: Jaguars reporters, the Huddle Up Podcast, and much more. Give
27:23
Speaker 1: us that five star rating and plenty of comments. We're
27:27
Speaker 1: back in a moment. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on the
27:30
Speaker 1: Jaguars Digital Network. Were lit now they're turned at all
27:47
Speaker 1: time at all because the jokes terrill we got out.
27:51
Speaker 1: I had a whole world that is lak one treadwell.
28:02
Speaker 1: Miked up. Yes, indeed coming soon to Jaguars dot com.
28:08
Speaker 1: LEVISCU should all back and forth with him. Welcome back,
28:12
Speaker 1: It's Jaguars Happy Hour. We're also miked up. I'm J P.
28:17
Speaker 1: Shadrick that's Jeff Lagaman. They don't wear mikes like this,
28:21
Speaker 1: so that would be a kind of obvious. It would
28:24
Speaker 1: be a little a little difficult to move. It is
28:26
Speaker 1: amazing how they, you know, craft the technology to to
28:30
Speaker 1: make that work. Though. They have a little protective thing
28:33
Speaker 1: in the back of the pads and it's it's fired up,
28:35
Speaker 1: you know, kind of sometimes a lot of times you
28:37
Speaker 1: have the phone pockets and like a pair of shorts
28:41
Speaker 1: or something like that. It's similar. They do the same
28:43
Speaker 1: thing on the shoulder pad and they put the receiver
28:46
Speaker 1: and it's not very big, and then they run the
28:48
Speaker 1: wire with with tape and everything's you know, secure, So
28:52
Speaker 1: it wouldn't become any kind of of of a help
28:55
Speaker 1: risk to the player. But when whenever you were miked
28:59
Speaker 1: up as a player, or you always let people know
29:02
Speaker 1: that you were miked up. Were you ever miked up?
29:06
Speaker 1: I don't know if I ever was or not. Um
29:08
Speaker 1: I don't think I was, But I have been a
29:10
Speaker 1: part of a couple of miked ups. In other words,
29:12
Speaker 1: I was like somebody talking when somebody else was miked up.
29:17
Speaker 1: But when you were miked up, you would always got
29:20
Speaker 1: up to something like if you and I were talking,
29:22
Speaker 1: I would approach you in the first before you say anything,
29:26
Speaker 1: you would tap your chest and say I'm hot, which
29:30
Speaker 1: means I'm I got a Micael. Okay, so I'm hot.
29:33
Speaker 1: So that let's the guy know. High regard for yourself apparently,
29:36
Speaker 1: don't say anything, no, not in that fashion. Don't say
29:40
Speaker 1: anything that you may end up regret later on. Trying
29:43
Speaker 1: to help your teammates up. Yeah yeah, yeah, but but
29:46
Speaker 1: it's cool and I think I think micing up players
29:50
Speaker 1: is awesome. Couple two reasons. One, it allows allows an
29:54
Speaker 1: inside look. Especially I like the miked up parts where
29:57
Speaker 1: people are playing. I don't like the i'd like, I mean,
30:00
Speaker 1: the sideline banter when it's about ball, I think is awesome.
30:03
Speaker 1: But you know, if it's about hey, l O L whatever,
30:06
Speaker 1: I like it. When it's about the game, you know,
30:09
Speaker 1: the game and the conversation on the field and the
30:12
Speaker 1: interaction on the sideline and trying to resolve something that's
30:16
Speaker 1: happening on the field, that's the thing that I like
30:19
Speaker 1: because that's the inside look. I mean, that's the the
30:22
Speaker 1: all access that fans want to have more of. From
30:26
Speaker 1: the NFL perspective, they love some of the sidelines stuff too.
30:29
Speaker 1: But for me, I've I've been on the sideline and
30:32
Speaker 1: and you know, I know what all that stuff is about.
30:35
Speaker 1: But the stuff that's interesting is the game part. A
30:38
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com crew does a great job with that
30:41
Speaker 1: Jaguars PR department as well to get that together with
30:44
Speaker 1: and the players for allowing you they don't have to
30:46
Speaker 1: say yes. I mean they want to be a part
30:48
Speaker 1: of it sometimes too, So it's great to have all
30:50
Speaker 1: that connected and they do a fantastic It's amazing that
30:53
Speaker 1: the the technology can withstand the violence of the game
31:00
Speaker 1: because the technology has just it's just come so far.
31:05
Speaker 1: It's amazing what you can do with just a little
31:08
Speaker 1: little device nowadays. You know, it's time now for the
31:13
Speaker 1: injury reports presented by Baptist Health and the Jacksonville Orthopedic Institute,
31:17
Speaker 1: the official sports medicine provider of the Jacksonville Jaguars. As well.
31:22
Speaker 1: These players ruled out by head coach Doug Peterson they
31:25
Speaker 1: will not play Saturday. Devin Lloyd, who was actually back
31:30
Speaker 1: in some of the install today with the team the
31:32
Speaker 1: eleven on defense and the starters today for a moment,
31:36
Speaker 1: didn't play in the eleven on eleven period Lloyd will
31:39
Speaker 1: not play this week. Well Richardson, Junior offensive lineman James
31:43
Speaker 1: Robinson starting to work his way back in the team
31:45
Speaker 1: drills off that achilles injury. The running back will not
31:48
Speaker 1: play though, but Derrick Trey or offensive lineman is out
31:51
Speaker 1: and Darius Williams will not play either the Jaguars cornerback.
31:54
Speaker 1: Those are the five listed today by head coach Doug Peterson. Well,
31:58
Speaker 1: it's good news for James opens and that seems to
32:00
Speaker 1: be progressing a little bit. Well, let me just leave
32:03
Speaker 1: that list up there for a minute, because Devin Lloyd
32:06
Speaker 1: is doing practice in a limited fashion. That's positive. He's
32:09
Speaker 1: on his way back. Will Richardson didn't seem to be
32:12
Speaker 1: doing anything. James Robinson is doing some certain drills, and
32:16
Speaker 1: they're doing a very controlled monitoring of what he is
32:22
Speaker 1: and is not doing on a daily basis. It's that's good.
32:24
Speaker 1: But Doug also talked this week about, hey, look, the
32:27
Speaker 1: expectation is we can get him back or we hope
32:30
Speaker 1: to get him back. There was kind of twofold, you're
32:33
Speaker 1: expecting to get him back, but we hope to get
32:35
Speaker 1: him back, and so it's kind of two sides of it.
32:38
Speaker 1: But because in reason why it's because you know, you
32:40
Speaker 1: you would hope to get him back, but the reality
32:42
Speaker 1: is you're talking about a player coming back from injury
32:45
Speaker 1: and there's really no way of knowing exactly how the
32:48
Speaker 1: body will respond. I mean, sometimes the body responds in
32:51
Speaker 1: a great positive way, and sometimes the body just doesn't
32:55
Speaker 1: act the way that you wanted to act. Darius Williams
32:58
Speaker 1: another guy that is wearing the red pull over jersey
33:02
Speaker 1: on top of his practice jersey and so he's doing drills.
33:05
Speaker 1: But the shoulder surgery that he had in the off season,
33:08
Speaker 1: they don't want him to have certain contact and that's smart,
33:11
Speaker 1: look at that's part of the process. The good thing
33:14
Speaker 1: is that he's getting getting some reps out there on
33:16
Speaker 1: the field. So I think the target date for him
33:18
Speaker 1: is Opening week and that would be great to get
33:21
Speaker 1: him and Devin Lloyd back. To concern that I have.
33:24
Speaker 1: Out of all of those guys, James has played the game,
33:27
Speaker 1: and I think that that's going to be a process
33:29
Speaker 1: coming back. You know, he might end up being uh,
33:33
Speaker 1: you know, X number of carries on the low scale
33:36
Speaker 1: to begin with, the working his way back to where
33:38
Speaker 1: then he can become I carry the load guy more
33:41
Speaker 1: as he works his way back. But Devin Lloyd, he's
33:45
Speaker 1: probably gonna go and the opener without having played at all.
33:50
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, do you even put him out
33:52
Speaker 1: there against the Falcons in the game because you might
33:54
Speaker 1: get some reps with him in the practice field next week.
33:58
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it's a great question. And is that
34:02
Speaker 1: Is that what you want your first eleven and eleven
34:05
Speaker 1: experience to be against another team? No, in practice, I'm
34:10
Speaker 1: saying you don't want your first level on eleven experience
34:13
Speaker 1: to be in a real game. Yeah, when you talk
34:15
Speaker 1: about get trying to you try to get adapted to
34:19
Speaker 1: the tempo, and then if you get thrown out there
34:20
Speaker 1: in a regular season game, Look, the temple and practices
34:24
Speaker 1: is here, okay. The tempo in the preseason is here, okay,
34:28
Speaker 1: and then the practice in a regular season game is
34:31
Speaker 1: here is much higher, you know, it ramps, it elevates,
34:34
Speaker 1: So the talent level goes up, the speed of the
34:37
Speaker 1: game goes up, the depth of the game plan is increased.
34:41
Speaker 1: Everything is bigger, faster, stronger, deeper, and then in its entirety,
34:48
Speaker 1: moving out of preseason into the regular season, I think
34:51
Speaker 1: it was yesterday the Jags offense was working in a
34:54
Speaker 1: red zone drill to eleven on eleven and James Robinson's
34:57
Speaker 1: out there and kind of run is over right guard,
35:01
Speaker 1: right tackle around the five yard line and then does
35:03
Speaker 1: a spin move at the goal line and get in.
35:05
Speaker 1: I'm like, wait, okay, it was nice. It was nice
35:08
Speaker 1: to see, you know, from watching him. From watching him,
35:12
Speaker 1: he's definitely making progress. And it's it's amazing running back
35:16
Speaker 1: with coming back from an achilles. Wow, I mean, that's
35:21
Speaker 1: that's first of all, what a tremendous accomplishment just to
35:23
Speaker 1: be back out there practicing. And is he back now?
35:28
Speaker 1: I think there's sometimes where you know, you can see
35:30
Speaker 1: that he is not quite up on the ball of
35:33
Speaker 1: his foot at times, but that's part of the process,
35:37
Speaker 1: just coming back. You've watched guys come back from knees
35:40
Speaker 1: and such, the explosion, the and as an athlete, sometimes
35:46
Speaker 1: you know you're back when you're not thinking about doing something,
35:49
Speaker 1: so in other words, you're not mentally trying to make
35:52
Speaker 1: your body do something, you're just doing it just because
35:55
Speaker 1: it's a reaction. When you get to that point, you
35:58
Speaker 1: know you're back and and James is not there yet
36:01
Speaker 1: from my eyes, but you can see that he is.
36:04
Speaker 1: He is making tremendous progress. If you're looking for the
36:09
Speaker 1: m v P of the truck game, then look no
36:12
Speaker 1: further than four D F one fifty, loaded with impressive
36:15
Speaker 1: capability and designed to dominate, work, play and everything in between.
36:20
Speaker 1: This truck makes tough look easy. Your local Ford Dealer,
36:23
Speaker 1: proud partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. We're back in a
36:27
Speaker 1: moment with a preview of the preseason Week two games
36:31
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Jacksonville Jaguars coming up, and
36:34
Speaker 1: then at five o'clock the Doug Peterson Show, it's Jaguars
36:37
Speaker 1: Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network. Welcome back, It's
36:50
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour, and if you're watching on Jaguars dot
36:53
Speaker 1: Com or Jaguars Social media. Oh, I've looked at the
36:57
Speaker 1: Miller Electric Center construction site just outside d i A
37:00
Speaker 1: bank field. It's been a wet afternoon apparently storms rolling
37:05
Speaker 1: through and it's a mud puddle right now around it.
37:08
Speaker 1: But the construction continues very well and it looks like
37:11
Speaker 1: the they're starting to begin the grand stand for the
37:16
Speaker 1: outdoor fields, which is good news about seats a little
37:20
Speaker 1: over that capacity for fans starting next training camp, how
37:24
Speaker 1: about that it's gonna be amazing looking forward to seeing
37:27
Speaker 1: the completed project and uh seeing exactly how beautiful that
37:33
Speaker 1: thing is going to be, because it's gonna be stead
37:35
Speaker 1: of the art now, I mean, that's gonna be top
37:37
Speaker 1: notch and looking forward to that which we had that
37:40
Speaker 1: back when I was playing here Here here's the reality. Though,
37:44
Speaker 1: doesn't mean two facilities make you better. I think in
37:48
Speaker 1: some ways they can because the latest technology, the latest
37:53
Speaker 1: uh things that you can do in football that you
37:56
Speaker 1: have to have the room for it and the size
37:58
Speaker 1: for it. And the game is growing. When I first
38:03
Speaker 1: came in the league in nine, it was it was
38:05
Speaker 1: very small. Staffs were still considerably small, the buildings didn't
38:10
Speaker 1: need to be big, and it's become such a big business.
38:14
Speaker 1: The growth has been incredible, and obviously the revenue has
38:16
Speaker 1: increased as well. And there is um an arms race
38:21
Speaker 1: aspect to the NFL now, which didn't exist college football.
38:24
Speaker 1: I think pushed the NFL along. They've been for a
38:27
Speaker 1: long time. But then also free agency. When you get
38:30
Speaker 1: the free agency, if if if you've got an attractive
38:33
Speaker 1: facility and somebody doesn't, and if things are kind of
38:37
Speaker 1: equal the player is gonna go, you know what, the
38:39
Speaker 1: opulence of this new facility. Man, that's really cool. I
38:42
Speaker 1: really like it. So it can make a difference. I
38:45
Speaker 1: mean in college it's like these the schools changed their
38:49
Speaker 1: newly opened weight room every two years or something. And
38:52
Speaker 1: it's because gonna keep up, because ls you got a
38:54
Speaker 1: bigger one all of a sudden, so Alabama's gotta get
38:56
Speaker 1: another one. And then oh, the locker rooms arms race.
39:00
Speaker 1: It's NONSTI didn't the University of Florida just open up
39:04
Speaker 1: open air absolutely, you know, each player has like a
39:07
Speaker 1: recliner at his state. What we had we had metal stools. Wow. Yeah,
39:14
Speaker 1: it was great. It was fine. It's toy. Fine. Where
39:16
Speaker 1: did you hang your leather helmet? Um? Yeah? And nowadays
39:20
Speaker 1: they have the lockers have this um. Yeah, they got
39:25
Speaker 1: a slow system. They've got that here. Yeah, that's what
39:27
Speaker 1: I'm saying, so that the shoulder pads and everything get dry.
39:31
Speaker 1: And back in the day, you would go and stick
39:32
Speaker 1: it outside and the sun get them drying before the practice,
39:36
Speaker 1: or just leave them out on the floor of the
39:38
Speaker 1: locker room and they would have those big giant floor
39:41
Speaker 1: fans blowing on them to try to get them dry
39:43
Speaker 1: enough or at least dryer for the second practice of
39:47
Speaker 1: the day. You back JP when you did have practice
39:51
Speaker 1: that way back in the day. Yeah, yeah, I like,
39:53
Speaker 1: I like. I like the way things are now though,
39:56
Speaker 1: I mean I would the players love it. I mean,
39:57
Speaker 1: it makes sense. You're protecting the guys just getting You're
40:00
Speaker 1: still getting work in, but you're not, you know, bashing
40:02
Speaker 1: heads for you know, eight hours a day. A little
40:06
Speaker 1: explanation on kind of how nice this current thing isn't
40:09
Speaker 1: I and I believe this is the way it should
40:10
Speaker 1: have been forever. But you go back to, Okay, you
40:13
Speaker 1: played the game on Friday night, right, you got the
40:17
Speaker 1: weekend off, come back, you have a full day's work
40:20
Speaker 1: on Monday and night practice, and then Tuesday you're off
40:23
Speaker 1: again and have very demanding practice again. On Thursday, light practice,
40:27
Speaker 1: and then tomorrow you probably have like a walk through
40:28
Speaker 1: in preparation for the game because you're you're doing a
40:31
Speaker 1: little bit more game planning. So there's absolutely nothing wrong
40:35
Speaker 1: with that schedule. And I think it's amazing and I
40:36
Speaker 1: think it's the way it should have been for many years.
40:39
Speaker 1: So coming up this Saturday, the Steelers and the Jaguars
40:42
Speaker 1: at seven o'clock kickoff time at t i A bank Field.
40:45
Speaker 1: Tickets at Jaguars dot com, slash tickets or calling and
40:48
Speaker 1: I know four or six three three two thousand. The
40:50
Speaker 1: game presented by pet Paradise with over fifty locations to
40:54
Speaker 1: serve pet fanatics like you nationwide. Book today at pet
40:57
Speaker 1: paradise dot com. Pet Paradise it's the official pet care
41:01
Speaker 1: provider of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Starters are going into the
41:05
Speaker 1: second quarter at least, Doug Peterson says, on both sides
41:09
Speaker 1: of the ball, and he wants to see the defense
41:12
Speaker 1: a little bit longer. What do you expect just off hand, um,
41:16
Speaker 1: out of the Pittsburgh Steelers. They've got some quarterback questions
41:19
Speaker 1: up there too. Yeah, I don't know. I mean that's
41:22
Speaker 1: a I think it's gonna be interesting to see how
41:25
Speaker 1: they approach this preseason game. And it's kind of hard
41:31
Speaker 1: to know what to expect anymore. And the reason why
41:34
Speaker 1: I say that is that with three preseason games, the
41:38
Speaker 1: mindset has changed somewhat. Some people believe that the second preseason.
41:42
Speaker 1: When I see three preseon ignore the Hall of Fame
41:44
Speaker 1: game because Jaguards were the only one that had one.
41:47
Speaker 1: Everybody else has three. So if you look at just
41:48
Speaker 1: the three games, many people believe that the second one
41:52
Speaker 1: is the important one, and some believe that the last
41:55
Speaker 1: one is more important because you're getting two weeks off
41:58
Speaker 1: from the last on all the way until the the
42:01
Speaker 1: their opener. So what's the best approach. I don't know
42:05
Speaker 1: if there is necessarily the best approach for the Jaguars.
42:10
Speaker 1: I think the best way to do it is for
42:12
Speaker 1: their starters to play this week and then when you
42:15
Speaker 1: travel to Flowery Branch next week for a preseason game
42:19
Speaker 1: with the Falcons, you play your starters in the practice
42:22
Speaker 1: what you're gonna have with the Falcons a ton because
42:26
Speaker 1: that's a controlled environment, and so you're still getting the
42:29
Speaker 1: feel of facing an elevated competition level, a different scheme,
42:34
Speaker 1: different techniques that players have, or different traits that players have,
42:40
Speaker 1: and you're getting more reps in a practice sometimes than
42:44
Speaker 1: you would get if you're playing in a preseason game. So,
42:48
Speaker 1: for from the Jaguar standpoint, I think the best way
42:50
Speaker 1: to do it would be to play a lot of
42:52
Speaker 1: guys a lot of time in this week's game against
42:55
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and then in Atlanta get your practice. I'm in
43:00
Speaker 1: with your starters in Flowery Branch, and the don't play
43:02
Speaker 1: him in that preseason game. For the Pittsburgh Steelers, that
43:05
Speaker 1: might be different than you know, they may not have
43:08
Speaker 1: practice with somebody next week. So maybe for them it's
43:11
Speaker 1: beneficial to play their starters this week for a little
43:14
Speaker 1: bit and then more so next week. But I don't
43:16
Speaker 1: know what their approach is gonna be. It's gonna be
43:19
Speaker 1: interesting from the standpoint of I mean, the Pittsburgh Steelers
43:23
Speaker 1: haven't had to worry about finding a new quarterback for
43:26
Speaker 1: eighteen years. A long time man Ben Team Ben was
43:29
Speaker 1: there forever. Yeah, and so you signed Trabisky. You still
43:35
Speaker 1: have a guy that's there that really is no good.
43:38
Speaker 1: And then you go out and you draft a guy
43:40
Speaker 1: in the first round and pick it, and uh pick it.
43:44
Speaker 1: Played pretty well in the first preseason game, at least
43:46
Speaker 1: from a number standpoint, And so I think from the
43:50
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steeler standpoint, the Steeler nation is going to be
43:53
Speaker 1: watching very closely to find out who's gonna win that
43:56
Speaker 1: quarterback battle, because that is a big deal for the Jaguars.
44:02
Speaker 1: We have we have a we have a right tackle
44:04
Speaker 1: battle here in Jacksonville. Yeah, yeah, yeah, right right tackle
44:07
Speaker 1: battle and uh oh yeah we we didn't come back
44:09
Speaker 1: to the other battle in the offense, but you dropped
44:12
Speaker 1: the ball. Well we're back. We got a few minutes left.
44:14
Speaker 1: Were turned too busy about, you know, patting yourself on
44:17
Speaker 1: the back for the change in the guard statement that
44:19
Speaker 1: you made. Thank you left guard. So Ben Bart's yesterday
44:24
Speaker 1: was his first at my shoulder store from patting my
44:27
Speaker 1: other shoulder. So he got in with the first team
44:32
Speaker 1: yesterday for the first time in practice at least no
44:36
Speaker 1: he had left. He told me today that he had
44:38
Speaker 1: some SI he was sick and okay, but the number
44:41
Speaker 1: of guys left yesterday's practice either way didn't last long.
44:44
Speaker 1: He was back out there today though, with the first team.
44:47
Speaker 1: So is that a true changing in the guard? Is
44:50
Speaker 1: that permanent? You think? I think so? And I think
44:53
Speaker 1: that that's uh. I thought that Barts in the first
44:57
Speaker 1: two preseason games played very well. He's played I remember
45:00
Speaker 1: I said last year, I thought he was one of
45:02
Speaker 1: the most improved players with the football team. I thought
45:05
Speaker 1: he did a really good job. And I think he
45:06
Speaker 1: still has got it. He still has a lot of
45:08
Speaker 1: work to do with his feet, and the you know
45:09
Speaker 1: the in the mental process, but and and also to
45:14
Speaker 1: allow time with Fortner to get comfortable putting Shatley next
45:18
Speaker 1: to him to begin camp. I think it was a
45:20
Speaker 1: smart approach. And BArch was inserted with the starters yesterday
45:26
Speaker 1: and then he left practice because of dehydration. I guess,
45:30
Speaker 1: I mean that's what overheating, whatever it was. But I
45:34
Speaker 1: think that that's that's the best I think for this
45:36
Speaker 1: football team. I think Bart a little stronger. Shatley didn't
45:39
Speaker 1: have the best preseason game against Cleveland, and I think
45:43
Speaker 1: Shatley's best position is what he's been doing for a
45:46
Speaker 1: long time. I think he's an incredibly valuable backup, and
45:49
Speaker 1: then he's a guy that can be a starter at
45:51
Speaker 1: center if you need him. The one thing I am
45:53
Speaker 1: surprised about. You have the Cleveland Browns who have now
45:58
Speaker 1: lost two centers. They lost one the game against the
46:01
Speaker 1: Jaguars on Friday night, and then they lost one over
46:04
Speaker 1: the weekend or the first part of the week in practice.
46:07
Speaker 1: And then you also have the center situation with the
46:10
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I'm surprised, and maybe it has happened.
46:14
Speaker 1: I don't know, but if if I'm one of those
46:16
Speaker 1: two teams. I'm calling the Jaguars and saying, hey, look,
46:19
Speaker 1: what would it take for me to acquire Tyler Sat
46:23
Speaker 1: two first round picks this year? Next year, make it
46:28
Speaker 1: three cash consideration, make it three. But that would I mean,
46:31
Speaker 1: that's I mean, who knows. But so I I think
46:36
Speaker 1: Shatley's best position as as as a backup center, I
46:39
Speaker 1: think he can be a starter in this league. I
46:41
Speaker 1: think he uh, he absolutely could be one of the
46:44
Speaker 1: top thirty centers in the league. And that's his natural position.
46:49
Speaker 1: And they had him at guard. I don't think that's
46:50
Speaker 1: his best position. I think his best position as center.
46:53
Speaker 1: But that just goes to show you how much they
46:55
Speaker 1: think of Luke Fortner. Because Luke Fortner's has had a
46:58
Speaker 1: very good camp. When you watch him play the game,
47:01
Speaker 1: he is very aware, very smart, and it's not perfect yet.
47:06
Speaker 1: They had to do some doovers today and when they're
47:08
Speaker 1: doing the game planning stuff and and and kind of
47:12
Speaker 1: explain some things. You could see that Phil Ralsher, the
47:14
Speaker 1: offensive line coach, was making sure that he was understanding
47:17
Speaker 1: what they expected with the calls. And that's you know,
47:22
Speaker 1: that's typical with a young player and Remember you only
47:24
Speaker 1: get one kind of day of game planning, which is
47:26
Speaker 1: not a whole lot. But but yeah, I mean I
47:29
Speaker 1: like the situation there, and I think, you know, the
47:31
Speaker 1: sooner you settle the right tackle situation, the better because
47:34
Speaker 1: then you can start too. And bear with me here
47:38
Speaker 1: for a minute, because if you choose to go with
47:39
Speaker 1: Walker Little at right tackle, then get them the reps.
47:46
Speaker 1: If you choose to go with you want, get them
47:48
Speaker 1: the reps. Then if it's j Want at right tackle,
47:51
Speaker 1: then you got to start getting some reps for a
47:55
Speaker 1: Walker Little at both left and right because he's going
47:57
Speaker 1: to be the backup for both tackles. If it's Jawan,
48:01
Speaker 1: then you're gonna want to get Jawan some reps at
48:03
Speaker 1: right tackle the second teams and then maybe getting walk
48:05
Speaker 1: a little some snaps over their first team. But but yeah,
48:08
Speaker 1: the sooner that you make that decision, the more prepared
48:11
Speaker 1: you will be once you get going on in the
48:14
Speaker 1: regular season. But you have to let the competition play out. Yeah,
48:18
Speaker 1: we can't just guess right now. He's gonna let it,
48:20
Speaker 1: let it go, see what it's And it's tight, Like
48:22
Speaker 1: I said, it's been, it's been kind of you know,
48:25
Speaker 1: the needles been moving back and forth a little bit,
48:27
Speaker 1: and uh, stay tuned. Of course the Public Sailgate Show

48:57
Speaker 1: regular season comes, well here, we're not getting stiffed the
49:01
Speaker 1: head coach. I mean this preseason, their schedules are different,
49:04

49:06
Speaker 1: gonna work during the season. And we'll figure it out.
49:09
