  Speaker 3: Week sixteen is here, all.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Right, It's a trip to Las Vegas. It's the weekend
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: before Christmas, three weeks to go in the regular season.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: How challenging is keeping the team on task this week
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: with so many things flying around?
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: That's the thing is we just got to stay on task.
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: We gotta focus on the Vegas Raiders, you know, and
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: and just do that. And again I've said this in
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: the past two it's it's my responsibility to make sure
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: that I don't let these guys slide and slip and
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: look into next week with all the distractions around Christmas
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: and family and all that we we still have a
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: lot to play for and and and I'm not talking
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: about the postseason obviously, but just just for ourselves, for
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: our pride to.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Finish the season the right way.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Three games to go, great opportunity for us on Sunday,
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: And and so I've got to put that in front
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: of the team and say, guys, if we if we
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: come out and play you know as well at times
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: offensively and defensively as we did last week, take care
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: of the football, gives yourself an opportunity to win that game.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Going back to last week, a little bit, uh offense
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: had a better day. Mac Jones I thought played better
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: the two interceptions. I'm sure he'd like to have back
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: ball location a big thing there. Defensively, how do you
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: clean up the mistakes that have kind of been plaguing
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: you guys throughout the year.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: You know what, It boils right down to communication. You know,
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: from from the sideline to the to the you know,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: to to Foyer or whoever's calling the defenses, you know,
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: on that particular play, to the rest of the team,
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: It boils down to communication.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: And then you know, I talk a lot about.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: Decisions and the choices we make in game and how
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: they can affect the outcome of football games positively or negatively.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: And so just locking in on every single down, every
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: single snap, and the decision, the choice that you make
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: can decide the outcome of that particular play.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: And so it starts with the communication.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: I've got to be able to process the information on
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: the field and then go execute my assignment.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: The other thing that kind of popped up in this game,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: the Jets were able to have a fake fake punt.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: How where obviously you guys, I'm sure have your own
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: fake punts and etc. Design at this point in the season,
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: but where you are as a team, Where a team
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: like the Raiders are as a team, Obviously, the chances
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: of plays like that popping up in the last three
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: weeks are going up.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Everything's going up, and you know, fortunate for them, they
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: caught Chad Muma a little tight in his alignment. The
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: awareness by our punt return team of not looking at
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: their wing position.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Guys, they were a little.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Bit tighter, little more squared stands. There's a bunch of
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: indicators there we just weren't aware in that situation. Is
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: something that we talk about, something we actually put our
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: guys through every week, and I know Heath and Luke
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: we coach it. We coach it and walk through as
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: we put them obviously in practice in those situations. So,
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: but you're right, this time of year, got a couple
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: of teams that aren't playing for postseason opportunities. So fake punts,
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: fake field goals, whatever it might be, are definitely on
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: the radar screen.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: A lot of fourth down conversions and weird places sometimes
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: you never know how that can go. Head coach Tek
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Peterson with us. Let's yeah, what stands out the most
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: about this Raiders team, especially on their offensive side, outside
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: of the quarterback carousel they've had this year, what do
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: you look for first when you look at.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: The Raiders, Well, I think I think it has to
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: start at the quarterback position. I think when you look
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: at Aidan O'Connell and what he's been able to do
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: as a young quarterback in this league, he's thrown an
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: almost completing seventy percent of his throats outside the numbers.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: This is a National football league. That's hard to do.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: He's about sixty six sixty seven percent between the numbers,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: and that's because he had has this guy by the
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: name of Brock Bauers all got a tight end, rookie
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: tight end who is playing almost at a thousand yards
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: I think ninety catches for almost a thousand yards, and
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: they they every combination of choice route, you know, skinny
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: little slant posts, all kinds of stuff to get him
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: to get him the football. And then he's he's great
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: run after the catch, so he's he's got that's where
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: that yak.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Is coming from. And then there's Jacobe.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Myers who's still he's no, he's a good receiver. He's
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: a he's a he's a guy that's making plays. Put
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: the ball in his hands.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: He can he can, you.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Know, stretch a field for you. Obviously, they're going to
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: miss their McCormick, the running back. I think you know,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: they put him on ir so they're.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Missing that piece.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: But I think they've got enough right there, just just
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: getting the ball out of Aiden's hands.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: And he's smart.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: And and the one thing when you look at this team,
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: and really we're very similar in the way is that
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: they're not creating takeaways and we're not creating takeaways. And
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: so the team that doesn't give the ball away really
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: has a chance to win this football game.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: And the Raiders have given the ball away more than
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: any other team but one. So that's something hopefully you
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: guys are able to take advantage of. But when you
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: look at their offense, the one thing that is definitely
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: lacking is a running game. Dead last in the league
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: at running the football. They've got some rookies up front.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: How important is that as a team to be able
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: to take advantage of that kind of weakness that they have.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that just comes comes down to the
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: guys up front, our defensive line, our linebackers. Just if
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: we're going to create an eight man box, make them
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: throw the football, we've got to be able to stop
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: the run.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Make them one dimensional.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: That goes without saying and you know we've been I
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: think for the most part, our run defense has been
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: okay throughout the course of the year. Is you know,
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: there are spurts where it's not as good, but you know,
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: I think I think if you know, you look at
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: last week too, I mean, when Aaron Rodgers is you're
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: leading rusher, you know, it does say something for the
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: rest of the team and the fact that we were
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: able to you know, stemy their run game. We just
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: let the quarterback out of the pocket way too many times,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: and that's going to be the case this week. We
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: might be able to smother the run game, but we
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: can't let the quarterback out of the pocket. We've got
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: to be able to get him on the ground and
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: eliminate the scrambles. Right, That's the part that kind of
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: kills you. It hurts you because that that creates.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: An additional first down for your team.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: You stay on the field a chance to score, but
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: you're also taking time off the clock.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: So it's a challenge.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: But at the same time, you know it starts up
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: front with our with our d line linebackers creating eight
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: man pressures and then being able to stop their run.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: When you guys prepare for a game, you obviously don't
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: look at every game that a team has played. You
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: kind of probably pick, you know, four or five games
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: right to be able to make your evaluation. And I
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: would have to think that you go back and you say, hey,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: let's include that Kansas City game that they had not
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: long ago. Because in the Kansas City game, it was
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: down to the wire and I think the Raiders ended
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: up having over four hundred yards of offense and Aidan
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: O'Connell threw for three hundred and forty yards against the
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Kansas City defense. You know very well, it is pretty
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: damn good he did.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: And he had a really good he had a really
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: good game.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, they were one play away from from probably
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: kicking the field goal and winning that football game. But
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: but the biggest difference is, uh, number ninety eight is
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: not not on the defensive side of the ball, and
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: it's unfortunate for them. He's a great player. A lot
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: of respect for what he's done and how he plays.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: But you're right though, you know, Aiding and those guys,
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: they did a great job of keeping you know against
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: Kansas City, and really that defense, that Kansas City defense
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: is a really good defense. So yes, we take a
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: look at that and we put that in our in
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: our breakdowns, and that's a game, you know, that's a
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: game we want to we want to watch.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: And then also you go look.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: At the Denver the Denver games and they're playing a
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: bow Knicks, They're playing a young quarterback. How are they
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: attacking the young coreter. This is a high pressure team,
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: This is a this is a high rate of pressure defense.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: And and you know, uh, they zero blitzed or blitzed
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: the La.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Rams four out of the first seven snaps of the game.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: So who you better get ready for the blitz, sending
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: a message and yeah and saying, okay, boys, here, here's
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: what's coming. Can you stop it? And if you can't,
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: you're gonna see it the rest of the day.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Head coach Doug Peterson with US Brian Thomas Junior continues
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: just to trend upward. Obviously last week statistically got the
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: ball a bunch and took advantage of that over one
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: hundred yards. Again, what else do you need to see
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: from him in the final three games in his rookie year.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Nothing. Just keep doing what he's doing.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Just keep keep showing the improvement, keep showing the tenacity
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: to the toughness. I think what what you're seeing too
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: is and something that will probably explore a little bit
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: in these next couple of weeks is just using him differently,
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: not just as a receiver. You may see him come
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: out of the backfield from time to time, or motion
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: him a little bit, put him inside the slot, you know,
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: put him in some stacks and bunches, and really move
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: him around the formations. Because now, obviously defenses, if you
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: go back and look at last week, what the Jets
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: did in the second half, particularly the fourth quarter of
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: that game, they begin to double him and now they're
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: taking two guys. We're gonna see the same thing against
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: the Raiders. Once you get into the red zone, you
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: get inside the fifteen yard line, you're gonna start to see.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Those double team coverages against.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: BT, which means everybody else needs to step up and
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: do their job. But for us as a team, as
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: a staff, I just continue to improve. BT's a he's
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: a great receiver, great young rookie. Been a bright spot
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: for our team, you know, this year, for our offense
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: this year, and we're just happy to have him.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I couldn't believe last week the Jets actually lined a
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: safety up on him to play him in man at
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: the goal line.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: What do you? What are you doing?
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: And then they lined up a corner that they just
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: signed off the practice squad later and again anyway, See,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: every team has issues, every team has is dramatically what
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: are you doing? But yeah, look, he's a great football player.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: And there's another player that I thought really kind of
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: emerged last week, and Brenton Strange emerged just because I mean, look,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: he had eleven balls, which has never happened with him before.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: But the thing that I just can still shows up
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: even catching the football, is how tough a son of
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: a gun he is.
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: He's just a he loves ball.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think him and bt Bow just love
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: to get out there on the grass and play football.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: And and Brenton is one of those guys that, yeah,
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: he's he's been kind of in the shadow of Evan Ingram,
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: you know, the last couple of seasons, but we've seen
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: it internally what he's capable of doing right through training
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: camp and OTAs and obviously through you know, parts of
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: the regular season. But this is the type of player
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: that obviously we understand.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Who he is, what he can do.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: He's a physical guy. With the ball in your hand
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: is in his hands. As you mentioned, he's a good blocker.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: It's just going to continue to improve. And again, another
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: young piece that that we put around Trevor. You know,
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: as the future goes and you continue to build those pieces,
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: and you know, you've got a pretty good tandem there
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: to throw the football too.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: The pancake block that he had on Hassan Reddick into
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: the end zone was a thing of beauty.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: He's unbelievable He's relentless that way, his stiff arms, he
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: lowers his shoulder when he has the ball.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: Just a just a great kid, tough player. All right.
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: So last question for me.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I grew up and you probably grew up in the
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: same type of era where the Raiders were really good,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: great players a lot of you know when while I
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: was kids watching them. Who is your favorite greatest Raider
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: of all time?
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: Kenny Stabler? Come on, Kenny Stabler. I grew up.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: I grew up on the West coast north of Seattle,
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: Washington State, So I was in that division when it
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: was Seattle and the Raiders and you know.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: And all that and growing up and watching him John.
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: Madden, that whole thing, and and uh you know coach
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: floor is when he took over there and they had
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: some man, they had just some the black hole, you know,
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Oakland Alameda Stadium, I mean, just a place you just
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: really didn't want to go play, and just growing up
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: watching they were tough, they were physical, they were that
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: cheap shotting sort of team.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: The lyle Alzados of the world.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, these guys were ruthless and that's what you
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: remember of the Raiders. And then they still I think
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: there's still some of that that carries over. I'm not
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: saying this is a dirty football team by no means,
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: but that physicality that was.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: Present back then you still see that today.
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: And obviously that's a credit to coach Pearson what he's
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: brought there.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Gotta go match it this Sunday, though. There you do,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: and we'll see if we can get it done in Vegas.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Good luck to you, Thanks for the time.

• 13:33
  Speaker 2: playing time at the same time. Yeah, Well, the reality
• 13:38

• 13:40
  Speaker 2: guys you're already playing, and there's only really one guy,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: which is Jantre Prince, which is a guy that probably
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: you would not play if you were competitive right now,
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: competing for a playoff spot. But the reality is is
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: that I liked him in training camp. I thought he's
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: got some really good mansk, he's got great hips, he
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: can run like the absolute wind. Let him play, Let
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: him play. I mean, I don't think there's the futures
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: with Darby, So take a look at it and let
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: him see what he can do. Let him get on
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: the field, which has not been I don't. I don't know.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Has he even played a snap on defense all year long.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: It's a good question.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: I think he has, but it hasn't been very much
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: and kind of surprising. Like last week you had him active,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: but then he doesn't play anything on special teams at
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: the very least you would think you would play special teams, right,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: but he didn't. He didn't didn't play like well, if
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: you got two guys that are active and dressed. Have
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: him do something. I don't know, do something, something something
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: there be a gunner, I don't know, but I like him.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to watching him play. I mean, I
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: think he's like I said, I think he's got some
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: good man skills. And I know he's.
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: Played in eight games this year.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: But how many snaps I have to I don't know,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: all right, not a lot, not a lot of snaps, tackles,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: one solo, not great, but I'm looking forward to watching him.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: He was a For those that don't know, he was
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: a fifth round pick. I believe old Miss out of Mississippi. Yeah, yeah,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: is that the proper name ole Miss? Or did he
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: say Mississi the University of Mississippi. But ole Miss is
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: oh Miss, That's what they call it. Okay, I just
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: want to make playing on the Gator bawl. Yeah, against
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: Duke that's coming up next second January, second second. So
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: that's a couple of weeks.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: Two weeks, Yeah, at least what.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Day of the week is that.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: It's a Thursday?
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Oh two weeks from today?
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: Is it that close?
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: That would be correct? Yeah, two weeks from today Ole
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Miss will be in.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: Who's gonna win?
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: I'm we'll see, We'll see. Some players have opted out
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: of the Duke.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah that's kind of weird.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Well yeah, but on both sides, right, but mainly Duke,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: especially the quarterback position, is not really a football school,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: you think. I remember I went to A quick little story.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: I went on a recruiting visit there. So years ago,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: good year, this year, I'll give them credit. Good look, Yeah,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: congratulations to them. So years ago, I was in high
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: school in Illory time with nineteen eighty five okay, and
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: senior you know, taking college visits. Went to Virginia Tech,
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: went to Duke University of Virginia, and I think I
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: had one more trip schedule that I ended up canceling.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: The only reason that I went to Virginia Tech was
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: to a friend of mine who was in from the
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: neighboring community and our rival high school was going there
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: on a visit, and I wanted to go with Randy Cockrell,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: good guy, and so went down and met Bruce Smith.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: And so the next trip I go to Duke. And
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: the only reason I went to Duke was because my
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: high school friend Billy King, who played basketball at Duke,
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: was there. And it would be a great opportunity to
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: go and hang out with Billy. I wasn't going to
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: go play football at Duke. I mean they didn't put
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: any resources into football. I mean you still had to
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: make grades too, Let's be serious. Would you even qualify?
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: You have to go to junior college. I qualified, Okay,
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: all right? And and the whole time I knew I
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: was going to University of Virginia because my brother was
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: there a big fan. Loved the coaching staff, love the campus,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: love the higher academic standards. Yeah that's what, Yeah, that
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: they had at UVA Higher Academy. Graduated with a degree
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: in economics.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: By the way, my.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Brother graduated with a degree in aerospace engineering. We were
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: both four year letterman JP. Sure your folks are proud.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: So anyway, to get back to the whole point of
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: this whole thing, went to Duke on this visit and
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: U got to see Billy, got to watch a basketball game,
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: got to watch the Duke university program practice basketball. And
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: then the game itself for the weekend was not exactly
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: high attended, not that I was going to go there
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: any football game. Yes, yeah, And they had a they
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: had like a it's like a barn across the field
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: and back then that's where they had to go to
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: get dressed.
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: So like the.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Team, the visiting team rolled up and they had like
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: a Quanzet hut for them as a locker room. And
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: then even the Duke Blue Devils had this like detached
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: brick building that looked like an old factory is where
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: their locker room was. And it was like a four
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: hundred yard walk through an open field because it it
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: wasn't like the stadium was enclosed. It was a football
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: and had a track around it in some seats and
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: it's there for anyway. I hope the Duke has upgraded
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: this facility since they nineteen eighty five. I think they
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: have a story time with logs is always entertained, always good.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: We're back in a moment. Let's get into the story
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: of this game when we come back, And there's really
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: only one to choose from. There was a few, like
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Jaguar storylines internally you're kind of looking forward to, but
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: from the outside perspective looking in, there's one big selling
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: point will two big selling point two. We'll get to
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: both of them when we come back. It's the Doug
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Peterson Show. On Jaguars Radio.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Welcome Back, The Doug Peterson Show continues.

  Speaker 5: Shadwick with Jeff Logoman.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Our thanks to head coach Doug Peterson joining us in

  Speaker 2: one university in the US News and World Reports, number
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: one state for education. The Jaguars and the Raiders Coming up,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: It's a four to twenty five kickoff time odd NERD
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: note here it's the first four to twenty five kickoff
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: for the Jaguars since the twenty twenty season. Is that
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: a good thing or a bat that?
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: It's just to say I don't even think it matters.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: But all the other four o'clock window games have been
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: at four oh five between It was the last game
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: of twenty twenty and they had to have both AFC
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: South games at the same time because everybody else was
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: competing for the division. I would rather have a four
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: h five start. Well, yeah, earlier is usually better, right,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Well earlier and then you know, for selfish reasons. Well, yeah,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: you get a better time.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: Maybe.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: John Oser always says every game should be at one o'clock,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: but he just wants to get out early.
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: Well that's what he wants.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with that, right anyway.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: The side note.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: The main storyline of this game, though, are the rookie
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: pass catchers for each team. Of course, brock Powers the
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: tied end for the Las Vegas Raiders. He is the
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: leading rookie in receiving yards and tied for the league
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: lead in rookie receptions this year. Ninety catches nine hundred
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: and sixty eight receiving yards. Ryan Thomas Junior is right
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: on his tail though, in terms of yardage nine hundred
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: and fifty six yards, second among rookies in the NFL
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: Moleague neighbors. Brian's Thomas's college teammate with the Giants, is
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: third in yardage. Lad mcconkeey, the former Georgia Bulldog with
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: the Chargers, is fourth in yarded So Bowers and Thomas
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: could go both go over a thousand yards this year.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: This is this is what we're looking forward to in
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: this game. These guys can really play and have really
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: as the season gone along continued to grow. Yeah, I
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: was looking at the numbers for Brock to see what
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: he did last week or this week. Against the Atlanta
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Falcons on Monday night, only had three catches for thirty
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: five yards. But his best game of the year was
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: at Kansas City at the end of November, which was
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: the game that they had just a great offensive output,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: like four hundred and some odd yards of offense four
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: thirty four if I remember right. In that game, Brock
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Bowers had ten catches for one hundred and forty yards
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: and a touchdown. You hope that that's not the type
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: of game that he has against the Jaguars. You would
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: hope that Brian Thomas has a game like that against
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: the Raiders, but it's going to be. I think that
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: that's literally the focal point of the whole game is
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: those two young players and can they get the certain
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: milestones and can they continue to increase their production to
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: compete amongst all the rookie receivers. The cool NFL rookie
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: record for receiving yard age was last year Pooka Nikoua
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: had over fourteen hundred yards receiving as a rookie.
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, nobody's going to touch that.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody's going to touch that, but the receptions may
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: be at risk. Nicoua had one hundred and five. Brock
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: is currently at ninety three games ago. All he's got
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: to do is average five a game for two and
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: one of them to have six and then he'll have
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: that record, which would be impressive. And the rookie tight
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: end reception record is h is his already. So when
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: he's got thirty two yards to one thousand, you know,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: and I hate talking about the other players so much
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: about this, but it's cool. I mean, look, he's a
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: good he's an amazing rookie.
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: He's the guy you have to defend. I mean, that's
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: the guy you got to talk about.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: He's a really good football player. And what I like
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: about him is that he's not just a Sam Laporta
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: type receiver. He actually blocks and blocks well and can
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: block defensive ends. He's no Breton Strange blocking, I'll tell
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: you that. But he's willing and he's capable, kind of
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: like a Kittle, George Kittle kind of type. I guess
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: you could say, you know, there's not many guys like
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: George Kittle that actually can do both. As far as
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: like Evan Ingram. Give you a perfect example, Evan Ingram
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: gets treated like a wide receiver in game plan. From
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: defensive perspectives, they'll match him up with a with a
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: defensive back. Brenton Strange is they're going to match up
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: with more of a linebacker. Okay, brock Bauer is probably
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: a linebacker bigger safety because they got respect for his
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: game as far as blocking, and that's where you get
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: the true advantages when you have guys like George Kittle
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: and Brock Bowers, Brenton Strange, if you can continue to
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: be a legitimate threat receiving, those are the great matchups.

• 24:19
  Speaker 2: the call of this week's game on the NFL on CBS.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: We'll get his thoughts on that Rock Powers Brian Thomas
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Junior matchup. It's coming up next to The Doug Peterson
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: The Doug Peterson Show is presented by fresh from Florida.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: JP Shadwick from the middle of Electric Center in the
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: Hundai Studios More Jeff Logoman coming up shortly. Andrew Catalan
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: has the call of this Jaguars Raiders matchup on CBS.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: This week, we get into the matchup of rookie pass
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: catchers Jags wide receiver Brian Thomas Junior in Las Vegas,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: TI in Brock Powers.
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: Yeah. I think he's a star, JP. He is really
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: impressive the numbers that he is getting. And obviously they
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: traded Devonte Adams midway through the year and that really
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: opened up him as their number one passing option and
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: he's taken advantage of that. I mean, he has a
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: chance to break Mike Ditka's record. He's closing in on
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: that mark, which would be just incredible for a rookie
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: tight end. And you know, we met with Brian Thomas
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: Junior a couple of weeks ago in Nashville. It was
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: the first time that our crew had sat with him.
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: Really impressed by him. I mean, he's got a great
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: way about him, very serious, very focused, but also has
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: a lighter side to him too, So our crew really
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: enjoyed spending time with him. I really think that these
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: two names are going to be names we hear for
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: a long time to come in the NFL. I think
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: both of these young pass catchers are here to stay.
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: How do you cover powers?
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: Though?
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: I mean then this, I could ask that most weeks
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: on most tight ends that face the Jaguars, but.
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: They've had issues down the field. He's got that of
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: power and speed with the football.
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, some preliminary talks with Jason mccordy, who's one of
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: the people I'm calling the game with, and he thinks
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: that Darnell Savage is going to be a big part
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: of this game for the Jacksonville defense. We haven't met
• 26:14
  Speaker 6: with them yet, but we will soon find out. But no,
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: this is a game where look, if you put all
• 26:20
  Speaker 6: your attention on Bowers, it's not like Jacobe Myers can't
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: go off either. So yes, Bowers deserves that attention. Jacksonville
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: needs to slow him down, but Myers is also having
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: a nice season. I think the bigger question is is
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: can the Jaguars put pressure on the quarterback. We assume
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: it'll be O'Connell. Don't give him time to find Bowers
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: or Myers. Get after this guy a little bit. He
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: doesn't move very well, So I think that that's an
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: opportunity for Jacksonville to maybe get after him quickly.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Which coach is kind of more on the hot seat,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Peters or Peterson.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: Well, you look at the comments that Mark Davis made
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: a couple of weeks ago about Antonio Pierce. You know,
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: Tom Telesco the general managers and his first year as
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: the GM. And someone asked Davis, you know, are these
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: guys going to be judged together? To LESCo and Pierce
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: are separate? And he said, no, separate to LESCo is
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: not going to be judged. I mean, that's not what
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: you want to hear if you're Antonio Pierce. But you know,
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: to me, there's not a ton of great candidates out
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: there this offseason. I think very highly of Mike Rabel.
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: I think that he's a guy that will get a job.
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: I think he can probably get whatever job he wants,
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: in my opinion. Beyond that, it's going to be a
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: coordinator or maybe not a maybe not an experienced coach,
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: maybe a first year head coach, which is fine if
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: that's the route you want to go, but I think
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: that might help some of these coaches giants Jaguars Raiders
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: that it's not a slam dunk that you've got X,
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: Y and Z sitting out there.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Andrew Catalana of CBS Sports has to call this week
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: at the Jaguars Raiders matchup. The full conversation coming soon
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: on the Official Jaguars Podcast Network and Jaguars YouTube.
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: We'll return Jeff Logman back with us.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: We'll take a look at the Jags defense and a
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: plan to stop the big plays. Jeff Logoman will have
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: an answer, maybe maybe not. It's the Doug Peterson Show

• 28:46
  Speaker 2: The Jaguars and the Raiders coming up, and the Jaguars
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: defense logs. They're ranked thirty second in the league in
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: total defense. There are a thirty two NFL team that's last.
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they're struggling.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: They are twenty fourth against the run. They are thirty
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: second against the pass, they are twenty ninth and third down,
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: they are twenty seventh in gold to go situations, twenty
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: second in the red zone, and they give up nearly
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: twenty seven points per game on defense. And there's those
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: that's all the numbers, But the big plays, the explosive
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: plays they allowed to get to those numbers in key moments.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: It just continues over and over and over again, and
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: it seems to be the same same song, different version. Yeah,
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: we're you're talking about the explosive plays and key moments.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: I think that's definitely the big problem. And this past
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: game was no exception, And unlike the week before against Tennessee,
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: this week you had a quarterback that could take advantage
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: of that, Will Levis wasn't very capable of that. If
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: will Levis was capable of that, Tennessee would have won
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: that game sure and tight and open Chicoconquo and the
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: end zone. That would have been a touch down. And
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: you also had another play that could have been a
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: touchdown to Calvin Ridley and he was open in the
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: middle of the field and will Levis just wasn't able
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: to find that. Well. Fast forward to the next game
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: against the Jets, Aaron Rodgers is able to take advantage
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: of a safety who's leaning out of his zone to
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: find number five Garrett Wilson in the middle of the field,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: and then DeVante Adams down the seam and I don't
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: know where the safeties were taking a nap. I don't know,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: but Devin Lloyd carried that route for thirty nine yards
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: and no safety was able to make a play. And
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: when Davante Adams actually catches the ball, he's passed the safeties.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: That can't happen. And then late in the game, DeVante
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Adams on the one that he's wide open because the
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Jaguars don't pass off. They got one guy chasing, the
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: other guy stopping and you got a hole in what's
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: his zone that is gaping hole and DeVante Adams strolls
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: down to the one yard line and then the Raiders
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: punch it in. I mean, it's just you can't have
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: plays like that.
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: But how do you how do you get past that
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: as a team? Is it? Is it more homework?
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: Was it? Like?
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: What is it?
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: I think it's there's three different ways. Number one is
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: that you take the player out that continues to make
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: the mistakes number one, uh number two coach the better
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: three players got to play better. And and the problem
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: is is that this is kind of a recurring thing.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: It's happening again and again and again. So I said
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: this earlier in the week that this part of this
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: falls on coaching and that look, you can't continue to
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: have mental breakdowns and can and expect them to all
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: of a sudden solve it and not have any mental breakdowns.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: You got to look at what you're doing. Eureka, we
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: did it. So second, do you mean do you simplify?
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, do you not ask them to do that?
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: Or change the players that are making the mistakes? I mean,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: you got to do something. I mean, it can't it
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: just it can't keep happening. And I think that's obviously
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: when you're at that point, it's it's not easy to
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: fix because you know, okay, well, where do you go
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: next with the players? You know, but at the same time,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: you have to hold them accountable, and then you also
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: as coaches, need to hold yourself accountable. Hey, look, are
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: we teaching it right?
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Are they absorbing the information that we're teaching, you know,
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: to where they fully understand what's expected of them, and
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: those particular plays it wasn't It wasn't good, coach. I mean,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: you can't have that.
• 32:36
  Speaker 5: That whole fourth quarter.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: I know they but the Jags lead the league in
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: pretty much every big play metric there.
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: Even way it down right there.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: You know, there's different metrics like, for example, like you
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: can have one it says, okay, a run of fifteen
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: or more and then a pass reception of twenty or
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: more and uh, they're like twenty plays higher than the
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: next closest team as far as allowed.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: The other way is a run of twelve and twelve
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: yards plus a reception of sixteen yards plus, and that
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: one their hands down the worst team in the National
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Football League, And that's like one hundred and twenty plays allowed.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: You know, it just depends on where you're at. And
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: then if you look at the scores of twenty or more,
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: I mean it's pretty high. It's a lot. It's just
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: not very good, you know, it's not very good. And
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: it's just disappointing now that this defense last year. I mean,
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: if you look at where they were at last year,
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: they were you know, middle of the road. I guess
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: because out and I pulled it up just out of curiosity.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: Twenty second total in defense, ninth against the run, twenty
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: six against the pass, you were eighth on third down.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: You had forty sacks and twenty seven takeaways, And just
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: looking at the sacks and the takeaways right now, you've
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: got twenty six sacks and you've only got eight takeaways
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: compared to the twenty seven that you had last year.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: I mean that's season totals, so that's still three games
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: to go, but it's still it's it's a significant difference,
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: and it's not where you expected to be. You expected
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: to improve upon last year, and you haven't come anywhere
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: close to that. I mean, they changed the entire scheme,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: new coordinator, entire scheme change. They bring in all these
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: high priced free agent guys to go with some draft pick.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's this is supposed to be a step
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: and get rid of some of these big plays that
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: was the issue last year too. Yeah, and I think
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of things that you can sit there
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: and kind of scratch. You can sit there and say,
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: you know, was this the right thing? And then you know,
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: signing guys, I mean were they the right guys? You
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: had a position change, with Foyer Lucan who, by the way,
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: for three years, was it one of the top three
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: tacklers in the league, and you had him switch positions.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Was that for the betterment of the defense? I would
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: say no, And I think in hindsight, which is always
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty and it's always it's always more accurate to
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: be able to evaluate it from once it's happened. But
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: I don't think that was necessarily the right move for
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: this defense because he's a he's a captain, and he's
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: a leader. He's kind of one of those guys and
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: he's a green dot guy. And when I say green
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: dot guy, he's got the green dot in front of
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: the huddle, calls the plays and that's typically the mic.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: When he got moved to will So and Devin has
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: struggled at times. I've been productive at times, but has
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: had some issues, you know. So, yeah, so they've they've
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: done some things and it hasn't worked, and they've got
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: three games to to kind of finish it out and
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: see where they end up. We'll return with a look
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: at a couple of Jaguars offensive players that went under
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: the knife this week.
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: That's never fun. You might know who they are.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: I do know who they are. I know absolutely who
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: they are well, and I hope everything went great for him.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: We'll find out when we come back. It's The Doug
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: The Doug Peterson Show presented by Fresh from Florida j P. Shadrick,
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Jeff Logoman or Thanks to head Coach Doug Peterson in
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: the opening segment each and every Thursday. And Andrew Catalog
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: CBS Sports loved the full conversation with him later on
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: the Official Jaguars Podcast Network. Yes, Jeff Lagerman, who is
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: his cohort. He's got two. He's got this Jason mccordy,
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: and he's got Tiky Barbe. Okay, okay, the the two
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: of them do printfall. They're nice guys, and I have
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: never listened to their broadcasts, obviously because we're a little
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: busy during that time. But you know, I'm a I'm
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: a big teaky Barber fan. He's a Virginia guy, so
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: I got to give him a little love. Okay, It's great.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: That's the the Cofflin taught him the end. Tom Cofflin
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: taught him how to not fumble high and tight. You
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: remember that.
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I've heard that Zimer to hold him up, hold
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: it up here. He held it like a loaf of bread,
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: and it.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Was kind of a little loose with it. At Uva,
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: I guess some good teams and had them hold that
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: thing way up here. It was on some pretty good
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: teams in Virginia.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: That was back when I guess UVA started paying their
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: players a little better, sorry at a little better calories
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: team or am I'm forgetting this That finally beat Florida State.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: It was like their first ever acc loss or I
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: don't know the I.
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: Think it was.
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: That was after my time when I was there. The
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: big deal was trying to beat Clemson because Virginia had
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: never beaten Clemson in the history of the two schools.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: And we had them beat at UVA one time, and uh,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: we screwed up a play at the end, kind of
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: a mental error sound familiar, where we gave up an
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: explosive play for a touchdown when we had a win
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: in hand. But but yeah, I don't know, because that's
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: kind of recent. Stu I was right on nineteen ninety five,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: Tiki Barber had a big ball game. Yeah, but in
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: her ninety three yards two touchdowns and they beat Florida State.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: It was FSU's first acc loss right three years, but
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: it was relatively short history. See the Virginia Clemson thing
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: went like back one hundred something years, which was not good.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence and Evan Ingram, Jaguars quarterback and tight end,
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: you know that, of course, went under the nine this week.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: According to head coach Take Peterson, both came away with
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: the successful surgeries on their shoulders, respectively. So now the
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: process to get back on track can begin, and twenty
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: twenty five offseason is here for both of those guys
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: now and getting healthy priority number one for those guys.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: And then you know, kind of getting back to being
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: a football player where you can work out and stuff,
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: and that's rehab is always a challenge in the offseason
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: because you know you're as a player, you're always trying
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: to get better, but when you have a surgery, it's
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: a it's a setback, and then you have to try
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: to claw your way back to where you were and
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: then as a player trying to get better, right, so
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: then you're trying to even go beyond where you were at.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: And fortunately it seems that these surgeries were relatively minor
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: because it was on somebody else besides me, So that's
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: a positive. Her people use that term all the time.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: I think Evans was pretty it was fairly minor, and
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: I think Trevor's was maybe a little bit more involved.
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not exactly sure, but hopefully these guys will be
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: great for next year. The only minor surgery is the
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: one not happening to you. Correct, That's right. We're back
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: in a moment our final thoughts ahead of this Jaguars
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: Raiders showdown in the desert Allegiant Stadium just off the strip.
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: Have you checked the weather? You don't have to. It's
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: in a dome. No, I know, it's in a dome.
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: What I'm just talking about for just being in Las Vegas.
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: We'll let you figure that out at a moment and
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: desert you know. On Jaguars Radio.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Welcome Back the Yearson Show continues right now.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: Final moments of the Doug Peterson Show presented by Fresh
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: from Florida JP Shadwick with Jeff Logoman ahead of the
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: Jaguars Raiders matchup Allegiance Stadium, Las Vegas, a four to
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: twenty five kickoff time Eastern three thirty with Coumptown to
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: kickoff here on the Jaguars Radio Network, and the Jaguars
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: headed to Vegas for the first time, first game.
• 40:24
  Speaker 5: For the Jags in the new place. And you know, hey, a.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Long road trip historically has been a struggle on the
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: West Coast a lot of times in the recent history,
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: has been a struggle in most time zones, but yes,
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: on the West Coast as well. Trying to get past
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: that with the long travel weekend before Christmas, all that
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: goes with it, everything that's happened this year. The Raiders
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: are struggling too, But hey, the game will be played
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: at four to twenty five Eastern on Sunday. Yeah, and
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: I wonder exactly what kind of environment it's gonna be.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, be a good quick like Monday night was
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: I was watching the game. You probably were too, And
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: I didn't watch the whole thing, but I watched, you know,
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: part of it. And the Raiders game is always a
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: little bit kind of like Halloween. It's a big deal,
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: you know that. Sometimes teams will travel just because it's
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: an opportunity to go to Vegas.
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: Right, it's a destination game.
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: Yes, sure, so they can go there and enjoy themselves
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: besides just watching a football game. And so I wonder
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: what it's going to be like from an environment standpoint.
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: You know, how many Jaguar fans will travel. It's during
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: the holiday season. Uh, team people are aren't as likely
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: to travel. So I'm real curious to see what that's like.
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: How many how many Raider fans are there?
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: The reality is it's just like you know, the Rams
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: and the Chargers when they play at home. It seems
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: like there's a lot of other fans from the other
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: teams there. When I guess with Vegas, is it like
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: that all the time or is it mostly Raiders fans?
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but it's gonna be interesting to watch
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: to see how kind of loud and how boisterous the
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: fan base is there because I don't know if a
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: lot of Jaguar fans would travel, but maybe they will,
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: and I hope they do and be safe. Please if
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: you do.
• 42:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, you know it'll get crazy. No, but the
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: Jags defense obviously needs to play better. We've said that
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: all season.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: The Jags offense last week had some positive things going
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: for them ran the ball pretty well. Brian Thomas Junior
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: Brenton strain. How many targets did Brian have this past twelve?
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: So I don't know what I'm gonna pull it up
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: because you know what, whatever he had have that or
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: even more in this.
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: Game, right, Yeah, Brian Thomas had fourteen.
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: Last fourteen targets twelve of the week before that, but
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: ten in the second half. So I'm thinking if he
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: had ten in the second half, ten, let's say it,
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: let's see sixteen targets, sixteen. Just feed the beast, feed him,
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: feed them. He's your best player. He's your best player
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: right now, and he's your most explosive player. He's what
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: gives you energy as a team. Think about that. Think
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: of how many times this year where this team has
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: been flat for lack of a better word, and then
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden, nice, yeah, you hit number seven
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: with a explosive play and then it ignites your team
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, the energy, all of a
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: sudden is there. Well, if that keeps happening with number seven,
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: then keep giving it to number seven. And if I'm
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: number ten, I'm making sure number seven is in my sights.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: It's not a bad strategy to throw out his direction.
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: Brentin Strange as well came on last week. Of course,
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: twelve targets, eleven catches, seventy three yards.
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: He is third on the team.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: And receiving yards this year pretty good, And that just
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: tells you that the Kirk and all those other guys
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: gave Davis has been banged up a bunch too. But
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: by the way, you just kind of gloss something over
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: there without emphasizing at twelve targets eleven receptions, Yeah, that's
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: a hell of a percentage right there for target to
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: catch ratio, which is impressive. And then what Breton does
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: after the catch is also impressive because he's strong and
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: he doesn't go down easily. Jaguars All Excess TV Tonight,
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: seven o'clock, Fox, thirty String Sports Brewery. Who you got
