0:05
Speaker 1: This is the Jaguars Broadcast Weekend review podcasts presented by
0:09
Speaker 1: ever Bank. I'm JP Shadwick, where the best of the
0:11
Speaker 1: week from Jags Radio, Jaguars dot Com, and Jaguars YouTube.
0:15
Speaker 1: The Jacksonville Jaguars host the San Francisco forty nine Ers
0:18
Speaker 1: in week ten, the Jags at six and two the
0:21
Speaker 1: Niners at five and three. Both teams are coming off
0:24
Speaker 1: there bye week, and on the Doug Peterson Show this
0:26
Speaker 1: week on the Jaguars Radio Network, the Jags head coach
0:29
Speaker 1: told Jeff Logeman and me how to keep a team's
0:32
Speaker 1: momentum going after the bye and much more.
0:35
Speaker 2: For the bye week, what did you accomplish as a
0:37
Speaker 2: staff and what did you hope to accomplish with your team?
0:41
Speaker 3: You know, the biggest thing from a staff perspective is
0:43
Speaker 3: just going back through the first eight games and sort
0:45
Speaker 3: of self scouting ourselves and going back and looking at
0:49
Speaker 3: the good, the bad, the ugly and trying to figure
0:52
Speaker 3: out some whys and you know, just kind of dive
0:55
Speaker 3: into with fresher eyes, calmer eyes, and see where we
0:58
Speaker 3: can improve. And that was kind of our projects, you know,
1:00
Speaker 3: for the first three days of the bye week, and
1:02
Speaker 3: then from a player perspective. I did have a practice
1:05
Speaker 3: on you know, Tuesday, brought the guys in to run around,
1:08
Speaker 3: but it was mainly geared for the young guys, the
1:11
Speaker 3: practice squad players, the backup guys who don't really get
1:14
Speaker 3: a lot of reps during of our offense and defense
1:17
Speaker 3: during the week, and and and it's it's a chance
1:19
Speaker 3: to kind of see them perform other than looking at
1:23
Speaker 3: a at a card and running a line on a
1:26
Speaker 3: card or on a page, and and just seeing kind
1:28
Speaker 3: of what they know, and and and getting the bodies,
1:31
Speaker 3: you know, bodies kind of moving around. And then and
1:33
Speaker 3: then the biggest thing is really the healthier football team, right,
1:37
Speaker 3: getting the rest, getting the treatment, getting guys healthy, Uh,
1:41
Speaker 3: to make these you know, the these this little stretch
1:43
Speaker 3: run here at the end.
1:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm sure that getting a mental break is great,
1:46
Speaker 2: but how do you refocus the minds after the bye
1:49
Speaker 2: week as a head coach.
1:51
Speaker 3: For me, after the buye is I bring the guys
1:53
Speaker 3: in on Monday and and and really put them through,
1:55
Speaker 3: you know, an intense workout, you know, try to get
1:57
Speaker 3: their bodies and minds going again thinking football. They've had
2:00
Speaker 3: you know, five days or so often and it's a
2:03
Speaker 3: way to kind of kind of just grasp their attention again,
2:06
Speaker 3: kind of refocus them, give them, give them Tuesday off,
2:09
Speaker 3: and then we're back on the field on Wednesday.
2:11
Speaker 1: Hey, coach Chuck Peterson with us coming out of the
2:13
Speaker 1: bye week, you know, is it difficult. It's got to
2:16
Speaker 1: be difficult to make wholesale changes to an approach or
2:20
Speaker 1: an offense or things like that. But how much different
2:24
Speaker 1: can an offense your offense look coming out of the
2:27
Speaker 1: bye week.
2:27
Speaker 3: Let's say, well, you're right, you're not gonna make a
2:31
Speaker 3: ton of hostale changes. You know, there's not a lot
2:32
Speaker 3: of personnel changes, things, schematic changes.
2:35
Speaker 4: Stuff like that.
2:35
Speaker 3: But the biggest thing that you hope you come away
2:40
Speaker 3: is you you know, one of the things we created
2:43
Speaker 3: going into the buy I think as a football team
2:45
Speaker 3: was an edge. I think there was an edge to
2:47
Speaker 3: our players, to our team. And so for me, can
2:50
Speaker 3: we continue to create that? Can we continue to have
2:53
Speaker 3: that edge going into you know, this week and next
2:56
Speaker 3: week and obviously the game's following and and then really,
2:59
Speaker 3: you know, can we and have we learned from the
3:03
Speaker 3: first eight weeks, you know, going back and watching you know,
3:05
Speaker 3: all the games, all the snaps all the different plays
3:09
Speaker 3: and players and are we putting our players in the
3:11
Speaker 3: right situations to be successful and then does that carry now? Now,
3:16
Speaker 3: the fans and the media and all that may not
3:18
Speaker 3: see these, you know, type changes, but as a staff,
3:21
Speaker 3: we'll be able to see them right and we'll be
3:22
Speaker 3: able to see if if we did our homework and
3:25
Speaker 3: and and things are good. But we you know, offensively,
3:28
Speaker 3: we got to we gotta take care of the ball.
3:30
Speaker 3: Second half of the year, we got to take care
3:31
Speaker 3: of the football. We haven't done a great job of
3:33
Speaker 3: that in the first eight games, you know. And defense
3:35
Speaker 3: continue to create takeaways, so those there are some things
3:38
Speaker 3: that that you hope that you know coming out of
3:41
Speaker 3: the buy you can continue to carry on, but obviously
3:44
Speaker 3: get better in a lot of situations.
3:45
Speaker 2: One of the things that you probably and the fans
3:48
Speaker 2: don't see what you're talking about, is how much flexibility
3:51
Speaker 2: Trevor has in this offense. And you would talked at
3:53
Speaker 2: the beginning of the year about how much more involvement
3:56
Speaker 2: and how much flexibility he's going to have in this offense.
3:59
Speaker 2: Are you please with where that's at and going forward?
4:02
Speaker 2: Is he gonna have more?
4:04
Speaker 3: I'm very pleased.
4:05
Speaker 5: You know.
4:06
Speaker 3: That was one of the one of the big takeaways
4:07
Speaker 3: I think from this past week is just how much
4:11
Speaker 3: involvement he's had in the dialogue he's had through coach McCoy,
4:16
Speaker 3: through press myself, you know, and and he's he's been
4:20
Speaker 3: able to really kind of speak his mind in a
4:22
Speaker 3: way that's you know, he's not talking down to anybody.
4:25
Speaker 3: He's just just dialogue like like like we're doing right now,
4:28
Speaker 3: and just opening up about plays in the offense and
4:32
Speaker 3: where to even put personnel who he likes to throw
4:34
Speaker 3: certain routes to. And and then then you know, as
4:36
Speaker 3: a staff, it's up to us to make sure we
4:38
Speaker 3: put these guys in the right situation. So very pleased
4:41
Speaker 3: where he is mentally, you know, heading into the back
4:45
Speaker 3: half of the season.
4:46
Speaker 1: The Doug Peterson Show airs Thursdays at five on the
4:49
Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio Network. It's a good test this week for
4:52
Speaker 1: the Jaguars defense against the Niners offense that is chocked
4:56
Speaker 1: full of weapons. And on Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks Wednesday,
4:59
Speaker 1: we discuss us what the next step for this Jaguars
5:02
Speaker 1: defense could be, if they need one at all. What
5:05
Speaker 1: can they do better in the next nine games.
5:08
Speaker 4: I would say domination in terms of all forms.
5:11
Speaker 6: So you've been good against the run, which forces opponents
5:13
Speaker 6: to be one dimensional. That gives you an opportunity to
5:16
Speaker 6: get after the pass, of which creates turnovers on tips
5:19
Speaker 6: and overthrows.
5:20
Speaker 4: The next part of that is being able to.
5:22
Speaker 6: Throw blankets over great wide receivers to really nullify what
5:27
Speaker 6: teams have to do to counter the aggressive way that
5:29
Speaker 6: the Jaguars play, and so that means better coverage, tighter coverage,
5:34
Speaker 6: make sure all parties are communicating in the backhand so
5:37
Speaker 6: you don't have slip ups that allow big plays or
5:40
Speaker 6: big throws over the top.
5:41
Speaker 4: Of the defense is continue to take.
5:43
Speaker 6: Those incremental steps to become what we call an elite defense.
5:47
Speaker 6: They're really good, I would say, a very good defense,
5:49
Speaker 6: but elite is different. If this team has an elite defense,
5:54
Speaker 6: now you begin to talk about them going deep into
5:56
Speaker 6: the tournament because your offense can come and go, but
5:59
Speaker 6: if your defense AIRTIGHTI gives you a chance to always advance.
6:02
Speaker 7: Those are good goals, and I think they but I
6:06
Speaker 7: mean when I say that to me, if this defense
6:12
Speaker 7: plays nine twelve more games, assuming the Super Bowl, here
6:18
Speaker 7: at the level that they've played so far, that should
6:25
Speaker 7: be enough. If the offense is doing what I think
6:30
Speaker 7: it can. I mean, you always want to keep getting better.
6:34
Speaker 7: But they I think what's interesting about this defense they
6:39
Speaker 7: know exactly what they are. Somebody pointed out a stat
6:42
Speaker 7: and may have been me pointing out to myself looking
6:43
Speaker 7: it up. They're third in the NFL against the run
6:47
Speaker 7: and their eighteen and takeaways, or they lead the league
6:50
Speaker 7: with eighteen takeaways. If you ask any one of them
6:54
Speaker 7: during training camp what their two focuses are, it's stopping
6:58
Speaker 7: the run and I turned the ball over. So they're
7:00
Speaker 7: playing how they want to play. And pass rush maybe
7:03
Speaker 7: could be a little bit better, but I think I
7:04
Speaker 7: think the pass rush is so much better that people
7:06
Speaker 7: give it credit for. So I'm going to say they're
7:08
Speaker 7: incremental improvements they can make on defense, Bucky.
7:11
Speaker 5: But I.
7:13
Speaker 7: Think they're pretty darn good defensively. This is enough to
7:17
Speaker 7: me to win at all. If the defense is more
7:20
Speaker 7: I mean, if the offense is more efficient.
7:21
Speaker 4: Just keep it rolling, just keep it. Look.
7:24
Speaker 6: I agree with you, and you know you obviously want
7:27
Speaker 6: the offense to be more efficient and whatever.
7:29
Speaker 4: But from a defensive standpoint, Mike Callwell.
7:32
Speaker 6: And the crew in that defensive meeting room, they can't
7:34
Speaker 6: worry themselves about what the offense is doing. And so
7:37
Speaker 6: when they set those lofty goals and raise those standards,
7:40
Speaker 6: they have to do it as if the offense is
7:42
Speaker 6: going to continue to do what they've done through the
7:44
Speaker 6: first eight nine games, which may be a little here
7:47
Speaker 6: and there and sputtering and spurs, but they may not
7:49
Speaker 6: be able to get the contributions that many of us expected.
7:52
Speaker 6: And so if they can win with the offense performing
7:55
Speaker 6: like this and they can be okay with that, then
7:57
Speaker 6: you really have an opportunity to do special things at.
7:59
Speaker 4: The end of the year.
8:00
Speaker 1: Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks airs Wednesdays at four on
8:02
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube. Also this week, running
8:06
Speaker 1: back Travis Etn Junior sat down with John Oser on
8:09
Speaker 1: the Ozone Podcast to discuss his strong start plus flying
8:13
Speaker 1: somewhat under the radar back at Clemson and now with
8:16
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, with Trevor Lawrence getting a lot of the
8:19
Speaker 1: attention in both places.
8:20
Speaker 8: I like to fly under the radar, and I feel
8:22
Speaker 8: like Trevor gives me that, he gives me the ability
8:26
Speaker 8: to fight under the radar. And just kind of stayed
8:29
Speaker 8: in myself. I feel like I'm like just a very cool,
8:31
Speaker 8: complicated guy just stating myself. For He's just coming here
8:34
Speaker 8: and all about business end of the day, and I
8:36
Speaker 8: feel like I'm here to play football. All the media
8:38
Speaker 8: and all the other stuff that just comes to me
8:41
Speaker 8: being a great player, and I understand that. But if
8:44
Speaker 8: I can throw something on Trevor in the day and
8:45
Speaker 8: let him do it, I love that.
8:48
Speaker 7: And that's a real thing. I get the impression I
8:50
Speaker 7: talk you in the locker room a lot, as the
8:51
Speaker 7: media do, done it here, but doing this kind of
8:56
Speaker 7: a thing, you do it because you know the fans
8:59
Speaker 7: sort of want to get to know a little bit.
9:01
Speaker 7: But you could do without it in the end, couldn't you?
9:03
Speaker 4: Most definitely?
9:03
Speaker 8: Most definitely, I'm just here to play football and win
9:06
Speaker 8: football games and do my job and go home and
9:09
Speaker 8: be with my family.
9:10
Speaker 7: How often in Jacksonville now after being here a while,
9:13
Speaker 7: do you get approached a lot your relationship with fans?
9:17
Speaker 7: How do you handle that? Because that can sometimes not
9:19
Speaker 7: be easy.
9:20
Speaker 4: I mean, just honestly, we're used to that.
9:23
Speaker 8: Just come from Clemson. We won a Nation championship. We
9:25
Speaker 8: were just winning all the time. So I feel like
9:28
Speaker 8: there it was crazy because of the fan base, because
9:30
Speaker 8: of all the one that we have been doing, but
9:32
Speaker 8: just hearing just us changing the culture, it's kind of
9:35
Speaker 8: becoming the same. And uh, it's kind of becoming a
9:37
Speaker 8: norm like we're used to that. We used to get
9:39
Speaker 8: people talking to us, want to take pictures and everything,
9:41
Speaker 8: and that's kind of getting back to that the more
9:43
Speaker 8: we win.
9:44
Speaker 7: Plus, in college, you got to go to class, so
9:46
Speaker 7: people see you all the time, you know, So yeah,
9:48
Speaker 7: it's harder. I would assume it's harder to get the
9:51
Speaker 7: privacy even on the days you want it in college.
9:53
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, and college was it was definitely most it
9:56
Speaker 8: was harder because like you said, I got to go
9:58
Speaker 8: to class, I gotta be outside. But now I'm here
10:00
Speaker 8: with a team and the facility, and now when I
10:02
Speaker 8: get out of here, I pretty.
10:03
Speaker 9: Much as go home.
10:04
Speaker 8: I probably don't really much go outside. Uh that's I
10:07
Speaker 8: got a grocery shoping and stuff like that, and then
10:09
Speaker 8: I'll get approached. But there's nothing, nothing too major.
10:12
Speaker 4: I got you.
10:14
Speaker 7: I know it's looking back a little bit, but I'm
10:16
Speaker 7: wondering if with perspective a year and a half later,
10:21
Speaker 7: I asked about this last time you were on it.
10:23
Speaker 7: How difficult was that rookie season to get through now
10:27
Speaker 7: that you look back on it, because that's a brutal
10:31
Speaker 7: thing to have to go through for people. I don't know,
10:32
Speaker 7: missing your rookie season with a foot injury. Any perspective
10:36
Speaker 7: on how that maybe helped you looking back on it
10:39
Speaker 7: a year and a half later.
10:41
Speaker 8: I want to say it helped me, Uh, just by
10:44
Speaker 8: understanding how how the game can be taken away from
10:47
Speaker 8: you and how that we don't have like this is
10:51
Speaker 8: the this is the end.
10:52
Speaker 4: This is it for me at the NFL.
10:53
Speaker 8: Is like you reached the way you wanted to reach
10:56
Speaker 8: and always wanted. Yeah, I was always wanted and just
10:59
Speaker 8: knowing that this is the last step and I just
11:01
Speaker 8: understand that it could be taken away from you. So
11:03
Speaker 8: now I understand that I have to just be greatful
11:06
Speaker 8: every opportunity I have on that field, because at the
11:08
Speaker 8: end of the day, and.
11:10
Speaker 4: Injury can happen.
11:11
Speaker 8: Sure, and I've been through that, and I feel like
11:13
Speaker 8: the thing that hurt me the most of my rookie
11:15
Speaker 8: season would just not been on the field, just having
11:18
Speaker 8: to come here and watch them play and me knowing
11:21
Speaker 8: that I can be able to help them win football games.
11:23
Speaker 8: I feel like that was the hardest thing for me,
11:25
Speaker 8: just having to sit back and just watch because there's
11:28
Speaker 8: nothing gonna do right now.
11:30
Speaker 7: But separate from it, right That's always difficult because you're
11:33
Speaker 7: not quite in that camaraderie that you used to.
11:38
Speaker 8: I mean, yeah, but I was here every day at
11:40
Speaker 8: the facility. I had to come in here for treatments
11:42
Speaker 8: and everything. So it was like, I know, I said,
11:45
Speaker 8: like one time, it was like having a birthday party
11:48
Speaker 8: and not being able to endow the birthday cake.
11:50
Speaker 4: So just like I was here every.
11:52
Speaker 8: Day doing everything with him and not being able to
11:55
Speaker 8: play in the games, sure, which was tough for me.
11:57

13:35
Speaker 11: With the media huge I mean, especially we talk about
13:38
Speaker 11: the position we're in and how much these games are
13:40
Speaker 11: going to mean. Obviously, no matter where we're at, these
13:43
Speaker 11: are going to mean a lot, especially just the last
13:44
Speaker 11: half year. Season is always important, no matter if you've
13:48
Speaker 11: have a winning record or not going to that stretch,
13:50
Speaker 11: but just to have that home field advantage. And we've
13:52
Speaker 11: we've gone through a rough stretch or a tough stretch
13:55
Speaker 11: schedule wise of just playing on the road, playing in
13:57
Speaker 11: London Thursday night game on the road, all those things,
14:00
Speaker 11: and now we get a we get kind of more
14:02
Speaker 11: of a I guess friendly schedule as far as just
14:04
Speaker 11: being at home a couple of weeks in a row.
14:07
Speaker 11: Obviously a great team coming in here, we get to
14:09
Speaker 11: play at home instead of having to go to the
14:10
Speaker 11: West Coast things like that. I mean, that's definitely definitely
14:13
Speaker 11: good for us. So the fans are going to be huge.
14:16
Speaker 11: I mean, obviously We've got a lot of momentum right
14:17
Speaker 11: now and they're a huge part of that and just
14:19
Speaker 11: bringing that. You know, we've been really successful on the
14:21
Speaker 11: road this year. We need to we need to start
14:23
Speaker 11: winning at home more and that's a big part of
14:25
Speaker 11: you know, with our fans as well, and I know
14:27
Speaker 11: that's what they're looking forward to seeing. So we just
14:29
Speaker 11: need all we can get all that home field advantage.
14:32
Speaker 8: Does that carry through the bye week or do you
14:34
Speaker 8: have to kind of restart?
14:35
Speaker 4: I think a little bit of both.
14:36
Speaker 11: I mean, we still we still feel that momentum, that
14:38
Speaker 11: energy that we that we left with you know when
14:41
Speaker 11: we took the week off. But you gotta find a
14:44
Speaker 11: way to kind of get that edge back because it
14:45
Speaker 11: is you know, you're kind of relaxing, getting your body
14:47
Speaker 11: back underneath you.
14:48
Speaker 4: You have to.
14:49
Speaker 11: It's a long season. We played, you know, eight tough
14:51
Speaker 11: games in a row and then now we got a
14:53
Speaker 11: nice stretch. So you got to give your body a
14:55
Speaker 11: chance to rest. But now it's today and practice, and
14:58
Speaker 11: it started on Monday. Really we had a we had
15:00
Speaker 11: a lighter practice and just getting that getting our legs
15:02
Speaker 11: back under us and getting that edge and practicing hard.
15:04
Speaker 4: That's where it starts.
15:05
Speaker 11: You can't just walk out there Sunday and expect to
15:07
Speaker 11: expect to play with that edge if you didn't all
15:09
Speaker 11: week in practice. So I think that's where it starts
15:11
Speaker 11: really today and as we practice every day of the week.
15:15
Speaker 12: I don't know how much of a deep dive if
15:16
Speaker 12: you do into numbers and analytics and all that other stuff.
15:20
Speaker 12: I'm just curious, are you in any way a little
15:22
Speaker 12: bit baffled, a little bit puzzled as to why third
15:25
Speaker 12: down is not better than it should be, particularly the
15:29
Speaker 12: stork and the third and eight and longer. I mean,
15:33
Speaker 12: you would think, you know, every once in a while
15:35
Speaker 12: you're gonna convert one of those, but for some reason
15:37
Speaker 12: that just hasn't happened for you guys.
15:39
Speaker 4: In the first half.
15:40
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's uh, like I said, we've talked about a
15:42
Speaker 11: few weeks. I mean, that's an emphasis for us that
15:44
Speaker 11: we got to get better at. And that's where you
15:46
Speaker 11: that's where a lot of time, especially playing good teams,
15:48
Speaker 11: you win games, is being able to stay on the
15:50
Speaker 11: field on third down. Also not being in as many
15:53
Speaker 11: third downs. It's you know, you don't have to be first, second,
15:56
Speaker 11: third down every sequence. You know, it's nice to be
15:58
Speaker 11: to be able to hit a first down on first
16:00
Speaker 11: down or on second down, and so it's all I
16:02
Speaker 11: think those are all part of it. We got to
16:03
Speaker 11: be better on short yardage. That's something that we've been
16:05
Speaker 11: talking about, We've we've been emphasizing. And then you know,
16:08
Speaker 11: last week or two weeks ago against Pittsburgh, you know,
16:11
Speaker 11: I thought we were better third down. I don't know
16:12
Speaker 11: exactly what the numbers were, maybe four minute kind of
16:14
Speaker 11: threw it off at the end of the game, but
16:16
Speaker 11: we were definitely better and we got to continue that
16:18
Speaker 11: though it can't just be one week we're forty to
16:21
Speaker 11: fifty percent, the next week we're twenty. You know, you
16:23
Speaker 11: got to be more consistent and if you want to
16:25
Speaker 11: be one of the best teams at the end of
16:26
Speaker 11: the year, you got to convert on third downs downfield.
16:28
Speaker 12: I'm certainly not You certainly can't pin one one area
16:33
Speaker 12: of concern on any one particular player in one particular
16:36
Speaker 12: facet But how much would have VINGI say, Jones back help,
16:41
Speaker 12: particularly in the red zone portion of things.
16:44
Speaker 4: It would help.
16:45
Speaker 11: You know, he's one of our he's one of our
16:46
Speaker 11: better players for sure, and he's he's a great player
16:48
Speaker 11: and really smart guy that's obviously been this smart the
16:52
Speaker 11: system now for going on two years, a guy that
16:54
Speaker 11: I have a ton of chemistry rep with just getting
16:57
Speaker 11: reps together for two seasons, you know, so he would help.
17:01
Speaker 11: But you know, the reality of it is where we're at,
17:03
Speaker 11: and you know, we're we're letting Zay, you know, get
17:06
Speaker 11: healthy and take his time, and so whenever that is,
17:08
Speaker 11: whether it's this week, next week, three weeks, you know,
17:10
Speaker 11: that's not for any of us to decide. He's got
17:12
Speaker 11: to get healthy, and you know, we got his back
17:15
Speaker 11: in that, but we got to make the adjustments and
17:18
Speaker 11: and fill in that gap. And guys are doing a
17:19
Speaker 11: good job that. But we got to keep getting better
17:21
Speaker 11: every week and get guys involved and all those things.
17:24
Speaker 11: You know, it's it's gotta we got to have options.
17:25
Speaker 11: And I think those guys are getting better and better
17:27
Speaker 11: every week that are having to step in. Whether it's
17:29
Speaker 11: whether it's ag who's had a lot of experience in
17:31
Speaker 11: his career, especially here, having to step in and different
17:35
Speaker 11: times when guys are hurt or he just has to
17:36
Speaker 11: make a play.
17:37
Speaker 4: He's he's got a lot.
17:37
Speaker 11: Of experience with that, and we trust him and Elijah Cooks,
17:41
Speaker 11: Tim Jones, A lot of guys could could fill that void,
17:43
Speaker 11: and we just gotta keep keep getting better every week.
17:45
Speaker 11: You know, we're finding ways to win, and yeah, we
17:48
Speaker 11: gotta be better third down and red zone two, but
17:52
Speaker 11: you know we're final ways to win. So if we
17:53
Speaker 11: can just keep doing that while we get better, that's
17:56
Speaker 11: obviously the goal.
17:57
Speaker 1: All the press conferences this week on Jaguars Dot, I'm
18:00
Speaker 1: in Jaguars YouTube. Let's close with a Thursday morning look
18:03
Speaker 1: at the forty nine ers with Kay Stevens, Brian Sexton,
18:06
Speaker 1: and John Oser on jags Am.
18:08
Speaker 5: Seems like fory Iris are getting healthy too, so it
18:10
Speaker 5: should be a good kind of marker game, kind of
18:13
Speaker 5: see where they're at.
18:13
Speaker 10: They're a star stud a team. I mean when you
18:16
Speaker 10: look at the roster, in the names, whether it's George Kittle,
18:20
Speaker 10: CMC right we just three initials, right, or Windows Christian
18:23
Speaker 10: McCaffrey of course at the defense. So it's no surprise
18:27
Speaker 10: that tickets are hard to come by and they're selling
18:28
Speaker 10: skating room only. People know the forty nine ers and
18:31
Speaker 10: it brings out a lot of folks who maybe casual things.
18:34
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know, Doug talked this week about it not
18:37
Speaker 7: being a quote statement game, and I kind of like
18:40
Speaker 7: the message because I think he's tired of talking about
18:42
Speaker 7: a statement game. They've won what eleven out of thirteen games,
18:46
Speaker 7: They've beaten the Bills, they've beaten the Steelers, they've beaten
18:48
Speaker 7: the Cowboys. During that, I mean, how many statements do
18:51
Speaker 7: you need to make before you sit there? Were making
18:53
Speaker 7: a statement game and nobody hears you. So I think
18:55
Speaker 7: to him, this is, Look, we're a good team. They're
18:58
Speaker 7: a good team, but I think not only from a
19:02
Speaker 7: national perspective, which I'm kind of worn out on trying
19:04
Speaker 7: to talk that national perspective, but from a showing you
19:09
Speaker 7: what they are, uh and in.
19:11
Speaker 4: The locker room.
19:12
Speaker 7: San Francisco can really run. They're a powerful team. The
19:17
Speaker 7: Jaguars have spent the last what sixteen games ish being
19:24
Speaker 7: a stout defense, being a physical team, but they don't
19:27
Speaker 7: quite have that reputation or er you since you go
19:33
Speaker 7: Mano Amano and stuff this team out, physical them, then
19:38
Speaker 7: you do have that reputation, so A and I think
19:40
Speaker 7: they can prove that to themselves, not that they are
19:42
Speaker 7: haven't already, but maybe they can say something to themselves
19:47
Speaker 7: about that I prove that once and for all.
19:49
Speaker 5: Let's go over some of our big things this week.
19:51
Speaker 5: Big thing number one for us is gonna be understand
19:54
Speaker 5: the assignment. As you mentioned, there's a lot of big
19:56
Speaker 5: names on the forty nine ers, a lot of star players,
19:59
Speaker 5: but a lot of this is to come down to
20:01
Speaker 5: doing your job and understanding the assignment.
20:04
Speaker 3: You got to play eleven on eleven, right, and and.
20:08
Speaker 9: You know it's about our pieces against their pieces and
20:11
Speaker 9: how best we can maneuver our guys and try to
20:13
Speaker 9: create some matchups somewhere, and and and yet you just
20:18
Speaker 9: know that you know these guys are gonna make plays.
20:21
Speaker 9: You know they're gonna they're gonna make a tackle for loss,
20:23
Speaker 9: or they're gonna get a sack, or they may you know,
20:26
Speaker 9: break up a pass or something like that. But it
20:28
Speaker 9: doesn't keep you from continuing to try right and execute
20:31
Speaker 9: your game plan. So good players give them their respect.
20:37
Speaker 9: And you know you still got to play.
20:39
Speaker 5: Brian Doug talking a lot about, you know, understanding that
20:42
Speaker 5: they have star players. They're gonna make plays, they're gonna
20:44
Speaker 5: get sacks, they're gonna get tackles for loss, whatever it's
20:47
Speaker 5: gonna be, and you kind of need to allow that
20:49
Speaker 5: but also stick to the game plan that you have.
20:51
Speaker 5: But it's gonna be a tough one.
20:52
Speaker 10: They've got a couple of weeks to get ready for this.
20:53
Speaker 10: Now we can buy and the coaches will have a plan, right, Doug.
20:56
Speaker 10: In the offense you have a lot of confidence in
20:58
Speaker 10: because you know uh and the defense now you just
21:01
Speaker 10: have a lot of competence in. You know, last year
21:02
Speaker 10: you had a first year coordinator and they were kind
21:04
Speaker 10: of working through things. But talking to players in the
21:07
Speaker 10: locker room, especially Josh Allen yesterday, you know they have
21:10
Speaker 10: a lot of competence in Mike Coldwell in that staff
21:12
Speaker 10: now and they feel like Mike and his staff have
21:15
Speaker 10: the competence in them to go out and run the
21:18
Speaker 10: plays that are called. So what you really have is
21:20
Speaker 10: to do your job. Situation here, they've got a game plan.
21:23
Speaker 10: If you do your job, you have a chance to
21:25
Speaker 10: succeed well.
21:26
Speaker 7: So much of an offense like the forty nine ers
21:28
Speaker 7: because they put pressure everywhere in the running game and
21:31
Speaker 7: they have so many options in the running game, meaning
21:33
Speaker 7: I'm McCaffrey, Deebo, Samuel, these guys can do different things.
21:37
Speaker 7: What offenses like that thrive on is usually defenses think
21:41
Speaker 7: they have to do too much to stop them, and
21:43
Speaker 7: they're jumping out of lanes. The Jaguars defense, if it's
21:47
Speaker 7: to me, if it's defined by anything, it's that you
21:50
Speaker 7: have one superstar player. Maybe Josh Allen you know, is
21:54
Speaker 7: ascending to that, but everybody else, Devin, Lloyd Foyer, Rashan Jenkins.
22:01
Speaker 7: You start listening off guys, they're all good, and I
22:04
Speaker 7: think they're confident, sort of what you said, Brian. They
22:07
Speaker 7: don't feel like they have to do much special to
22:10
Speaker 7: stop teams, so I think they can play assignment football
22:13
Speaker 7: and all those cliches. The talk of the guys in
22:16
Speaker 7: the locker room. They believe that if they play their game,
22:20
Speaker 7: they don't have to do anything special to win this
22:22
Speaker 7: or stop this really good forty nine ers offense. That
22:26
Speaker 7: to me is the matchup.
