0:27
Speaker 1: Card playoff game coming up the Chargers and Jaguars eight
0:31
Speaker 1: fifteen kickoffs Saturday night. All right, you're you're rallied to
0:35
Speaker 1: get to this point, down four in the division after
0:38
Speaker 1: week eleven, Division champs in week eighteen, that all doesn't
0:42
Speaker 1: matter anymore, right, it's playoff time now, It's it's playoff time.
0:47
Speaker 1: And you're absolutely right. You know, we we worked our
0:49
Speaker 1: tails off obviously to get here, and um, you know,
0:51
Speaker 1: congratulations to the guys AFC South champs. And that's uh,
0:54
Speaker 1: obviously it's a feat that I thought was a long
0:57
Speaker 1: way away somewhere in October, you know, but great feet
1:01
Speaker 1: for them, and and uh we're here. Uh, throw everything
1:03
Speaker 1: out it's just it's do or die. It's one game season,
1:06
Speaker 1: and um, you know, everything that we can and and
1:09
Speaker 1: we'll do for this game, we've we've got to be
1:11
Speaker 1: we've got to be ready to go. Okay, So, now
1:13
Speaker 1: that the game is behind in the review mirror, did
1:16
Speaker 1: UH any anxiety about that game? From from a coaching standpoint,
1:20
Speaker 1: from a plane standpoint? You know? I mean, I wish
1:24
Speaker 1: the offense would have played better. You know, I think
1:26
Speaker 1: I think one of the things I would say this,
1:27
Speaker 1: it's always you're always gonna be in a in a
1:29
Speaker 1: battle with with Tennessee. You know, Mike Rabel and his guys,
1:33
Speaker 1: they're always gonna be ready to go. And they were,
1:36
Speaker 1: and they gave us a few different renkals than the
1:38
Speaker 1: time before in Week fourteen. But you know, I just
1:40
Speaker 1: wish we had the ability to run the ball a
1:43
Speaker 1: little bit better. You know, Trevor was just off just
1:46
Speaker 1: to touch um mr mr z A Jones in the
1:48
Speaker 1: back of the end zone. I wish we would have
1:51
Speaker 1: capitalized on a few of those things. But I'm gonna
1:53
Speaker 1: tell you something, special teams in defense really rose to
1:57
Speaker 1: the occasion. Uh. And that's what that's what it takes
1:59
Speaker 1: you know, in in big games, big moments like that,
2:02
Speaker 1: and and uh, they did a nice job getting you know,
2:04
Speaker 1: the strip sacked there and and Josh Allen and the
2:08
Speaker 1: you know, the scoop and score in the touchdown. Uh,
2:11
Speaker 1: you know, it gave us the lead. So it goes
2:13
Speaker 1: back and forth that way. But I'm so glad our
2:15
Speaker 1: guys were able to you know, sort of battle out
2:17
Speaker 1: and get the victory. The beautiful thing about football has
2:20
Speaker 1: you got you know, you've got the three phases of football,
2:23
Speaker 1: but really you had a fourth phase, and that was
2:24
Speaker 1: the home crowd in this game. And walking out of
2:27
Speaker 1: the tunnel just to go out there for warm up
2:29
Speaker 1: to watch you guys do your thing. I'm sitting there
2:31
Speaker 1: looking around and I'm seeing all these people kind of
2:33
Speaker 1: crowded around the field in the stands. What a showing
2:37
Speaker 1: that the fan base had in that game. It was
2:39
Speaker 1: a great showing. It was a playoff atmosphere, and it
2:41
Speaker 1: was really the first round of the playoffs I think
2:44
Speaker 1: for us. And and uh, you know, it's a tremendous crowd.
2:47
Speaker 1: Love the noise, love the enthusiasm. You know, we're gonna
2:50
Speaker 1: need that again Saturday night at the Bank and and
2:53
Speaker 1: and quite frankly, um, they were the reason. I mean
2:56
Speaker 1: they you know, got got after Tennessee's offense when when
3:00
Speaker 1: they were on the field, and and just it was
3:02
Speaker 1: really exciting to see the the energy, the passion, the
3:06
Speaker 1: excitement of all the fans. Um. Last Saturday night, Doug
3:10
Speaker 1: Peterson with US Jaguars head coach, you mentioned last week
3:13
Speaker 1: you have playoff game, but you guys have had to
3:16
Speaker 1: have must wins the last month or so, really five
3:19
Speaker 1: weeks of the regular season and got it done. So
3:22
Speaker 1: what's the difference of that running the regular season down
3:25
Speaker 1: the stretch to now? The difference and energy, focus, intensity
3:29
Speaker 1: when it's a true do or die playoff game, it
3:33
Speaker 1: really shouldn't shouldn't be any different, you know. Um, you know,
3:35
Speaker 1: we were talking about must wins a month ago, and
3:38
Speaker 1: and you know we were talking about a sense of urgency,
3:40
Speaker 1: and we were talking about everything matters and it's all
3:43
Speaker 1: about us, and those are the same conversations you have,
3:46
Speaker 1: you know. Um, now, you know, even though this is
3:49
Speaker 1: a wild card postseason game, you know, nothing can change.
3:52
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta keep you gotta keep saying the
3:54
Speaker 1: same things. You gotta keep you know, putting in the
3:57
Speaker 1: time and having a great week of practice, practice and
3:59
Speaker 1: preparation it those messages are gonna the same ones I've
4:03
Speaker 1: been talking all week long, you know about that in
4:05
Speaker 1: a sense of urgency and and uh it's a must
4:08
Speaker 1: win and and all those types of things that uh,
4:11
Speaker 1: you know, we were talking you know, to our team
4:13
Speaker 1: about a month ago. I've been having flashbacks this week.
4:16
Speaker 1: Kind of interesting because there's so many similarities going back
4:19
Speaker 1: to our team that we had. I want a bunch
4:22
Speaker 1: of games to get in the last game of your
4:24
Speaker 1: little anxiety, probably didn't play our best, but when we
4:27
Speaker 1: got into the playoffs, we played free and we played
4:30
Speaker 1: having fun. Can you preach that to your team? Just say, hey, look,
4:34
Speaker 1: let's have fun with this. You know, I yes, you can.
4:37
Speaker 1: Short answer is yes. And quite honestly, I think the
4:40
Speaker 1: beginning of the season, the expectation, probably you know, outside
4:43
Speaker 1: of our building was, you know, let's let's just see
4:47
Speaker 1: what the Jaguars are gonna be be all about, you know,
4:50
Speaker 1: And and and obviously there's a lot of confidence in there,
4:52
Speaker 1: you know, as we built throughout the course of the
4:53
Speaker 1: season and put ourselves in this position. You still want
4:57
Speaker 1: to have fun, and you still want to let the
4:58
Speaker 1: guys just go out there and cut it use and
5:00
Speaker 1: there's really no expectations, right, there's no I would say
5:04
Speaker 1: probably nobody really believes other than us that that we
5:06
Speaker 1: can win this football game, and so let's just go
5:08
Speaker 1: out have fun, do the things we've been able to do,
5:10
Speaker 1: you know, the last month, month and a half of
5:12
Speaker 1: the season, and see what happens. Social media question for
5:16
Speaker 1: the head coach, this is at K D T S
5:18
Speaker 1: T seventy. What similarities and personality to your Eagles playoff
5:22
Speaker 1: teams have you seen in the Jaguars locker room this season?
5:25
Speaker 1: Are there some similarities there? You know that it's a
5:28
Speaker 1: it's a really good question. You know, obviously two different teams. Um,
5:31
Speaker 1: I would say there's there the would just let me
5:34
Speaker 1: start with this. The differences are that I was a
5:36
Speaker 1: little bit older, were you know, our team was older.
5:38
Speaker 1: We had a little more veteran, veteran group than we
5:40
Speaker 1: do now we've got a young, young group of guys.
5:43
Speaker 1: The similarities are that there was a lot of passion,
5:47
Speaker 1: there was a lot of excitement, There was a lot
5:48
Speaker 1: of enthusiasm, you know, even even when we were the
5:51
Speaker 1: one seed in seventeen and then we are a wild
5:54
Speaker 1: card team in eighteen. That same drive and motivation that
5:58
Speaker 1: I saw then as what what are what fuels the
6:00
Speaker 1: emotion now with these guys and and and that's the
6:03
Speaker 1: exciting thing to see with this young football team. And
6:07
Speaker 1: and and quite honestly, we haven't you know, we haven't wavered.
6:10
Speaker 1: We we've stuck to our guns. Um. You know, we
6:13
Speaker 1: believed in the things that we believe in and and
6:16
Speaker 1: you know, trust our process. And those are some of
6:18
Speaker 1: the similarities that I see now that took place back
6:21
Speaker 1: in seventeen and eighteen for me. Great challenge this week
6:24
Speaker 1: with a Chargers team coming in kind of eerily similar
6:26
Speaker 1: to your football team. Young quarterback, Uh, the number of
6:30
Speaker 1: UH scores that they have, he has a young quarterback. Uh.
6:34
Speaker 1: This is a good football team that's got some high
6:36
Speaker 1: power of their offense. It's a really good football team.
6:38
Speaker 1: And the numbers are are really similar on both sides
6:41
Speaker 1: of the ball and even even defensively. And um, you
6:45
Speaker 1: know it, listen, it's it's I know, we played them
6:47
Speaker 1: in Week three and and you know we're a different
6:49
Speaker 1: football team. They're different football team. They've got two of
6:52
Speaker 1: the best edge rushers probably in football and Khalil Mack
6:55
Speaker 1: and and Joey Bosa and um, you know, listen, they
6:59
Speaker 1: quarterbacks young, they're talented. Keenan Allen on offense, I mean
7:02
Speaker 1: they they've got some weapons and some firepower over there
7:04
Speaker 1: that that you have to be prepared for and ready for.
7:07
Speaker 1: And and um, you know it did. I'll tell you what,
7:10
Speaker 1: games like this and you get in the postseason, the
7:12
Speaker 1: giveaway takeaway margin really becomes magnified. And the team that
7:16
Speaker 1: really can uh keep the football and not give it away,
7:20
Speaker 1: I think has a good chance of winning this game. Yeah,
7:22
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up because I was getting
7:24
Speaker 1: ready to go there. And one of the guys that's
7:26
Speaker 1: a big impactful player for them and in that category
7:29
Speaker 1: is Derwin James. And last time you're getting ready to
7:31
Speaker 1: face him, I remember you said, hey, look, we need
7:33
Speaker 1: to identify where Derwin James is at every play we
7:36
Speaker 1: do and we still do. And um, he's a guy
7:40
Speaker 1: that you know, he's been banged up a little bit,
7:41
Speaker 1: he's been been back and he's in he's a leader
7:44
Speaker 1: of that defense. You know, he they line him up
7:46
Speaker 1: all over the field. He'll he'll be an edge rusher,
7:48
Speaker 1: he'll be a safety, he could drop down and be
7:50
Speaker 1: a linebacker, you know, so he plays multiple of spots
7:53
Speaker 1: and in a big role for them. And so just
7:55
Speaker 1: understanding where he is and and um, you know, they
7:58
Speaker 1: love to bring him on some pressure from time to time.
8:01
Speaker 1: And he's a really good open field tackuler, tackler, uh,
8:05
Speaker 1: physical guy. So you know, he's somebody that we've got
8:08
Speaker 1: to keep our eye on along with where you know,
8:10
Speaker 1: fifty two and ninety seven are on the other side
8:12
Speaker 1: of things. Austin Ekeler a threat in the passing game
8:15
Speaker 1: out of the backfield. Their leading receiver of all things
8:17
Speaker 1: that Keenan Allen has been banged up a bit of course,
8:21
Speaker 1: didn't see him early in the season. Mike Williams is back,
8:24
Speaker 1: so they've got weapons around the young quarterback too, And
8:27
Speaker 1: and the way Staley calls games, I mean, what what
8:30
Speaker 1: stands out about that whole group together? Well, I mean
8:34
Speaker 1: it's talented. I mean there's talented when they're all playing together.
8:36
Speaker 1: You know, in the offense is rolling, it's it's a
8:39
Speaker 1: tough unit to stop. And you know, I think that's
8:41
Speaker 1: one of the things too with with coach Staley that
8:43
Speaker 1: I can appreciate, is you know, the aggressiveness that he's
8:46
Speaker 1: gonna have with with this offense, you know, and he's
8:48
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna pick his moments to go for it
8:50
Speaker 1: on fourth down and be aggressive there and and especially
8:53
Speaker 1: now in the postseason, sometimes you want to steal one
8:55
Speaker 1: of those extra possessions if you can. And and so
8:58
Speaker 1: we've got to be prepared for that. And of course
9:00
Speaker 1: they've got to be prepared for for us doing the
9:02
Speaker 1: same thing, you know. And that's just something that uh,
9:04
Speaker 1: we haven't done a lot of um uh of late.
9:08
Speaker 1: But um, you know, you're getting these moments and you
9:10
Speaker 1: get in these games like this, if you get an
9:12
Speaker 1: opportunity to stay on the field and and and capitalize,
9:14
Speaker 1: you gotta do it. I was sitting there going, wait
9:16
Speaker 1: a minute, you're talking about yourself there, because if you
9:18
Speaker 1: look at the fourth down conversions, I mean you're right
9:21
Speaker 1: there in the top three. Yeah, that's the pot calling
9:24
Speaker 1: the kettle black there. It is. It is. I mean
9:27
Speaker 1: that you know, I I wanted to give them some love,
9:29
Speaker 1: but um, yeah, I mean that's the same thing. Is
9:31
Speaker 1: is we're gonna we're gonna pick our spots, you know,
9:34
Speaker 1: and and um, you know, believe in the things that
9:37
Speaker 1: we're doing and if we can, if we can again
9:38
Speaker 1: you know, steal that possession, we're gonna do it, and
9:41
Speaker 1: uh try to execute and stay on the field. Final thought,
9:44
Speaker 1: whether you here, Doug. We mentioned the rally to get
9:46
Speaker 1: back and win the division, but now it's in the tournament.
9:49
Speaker 1: That's all in the rear view. It's about the matchup
9:52
Speaker 1: week to week. Is the Jaguars football team ready for
9:55
Speaker 1: this moment this week? And what do you expect on
9:57
Speaker 1: Saturday night? The team is ready, you know, we we've
10:00
Speaker 1: been I keep telling the guys that they've been they've
10:03
Speaker 1: been preparing themselves all season for moments like this, and
10:05
Speaker 1: we're kind of built for it. Um, you know, the
10:08
Speaker 1: preparation they've had these last last seven eight games has
10:11
Speaker 1: really kind of put us in a position to, uh
10:13
Speaker 1: to understand the magnitude of games like this. And and
10:16
Speaker 1: I tell you this, one of the things I see
10:18
Speaker 1: with our team too is there's no they don't get
10:20
Speaker 1: really high and they don't get really low. They just
10:22
Speaker 1: kind of stay right in the middle, and and um,
10:25
Speaker 1: they do a great job of that. You know. Emotionally,
10:27
Speaker 1: they just kind of focus on their jobs and and
10:30
Speaker 1: and that's what we asked them to do, and so
10:32
Speaker 1: they're ready. Um, they'll be excited. Uh, you know, to
10:35
Speaker 1: have a home playoff game, you know here in Jacksonville
10:37
Speaker 1: is a big thing. You've been in the playoffs before.
10:39
Speaker 1: There's nothing better, is it. There's nothing better this time
10:41
Speaker 1: of year. Um, it's very special, you know, especially we
10:45
Speaker 1: can host a playoff game and and then um, you know,
10:47
Speaker 1: see what you can do and listen, it's a you know,
10:50
Speaker 1: everything that must win from here on out. And and
10:52
Speaker 1: that's a that's a that's a hard thing. But you know,
10:54
Speaker 1: our guys are ready to go. Doug, thanks for the time,

12:15
Speaker 1: big old guitar amp out onto the field and see
12:17
Speaker 1: what it sounded like. You know, we almost blew up
12:20
Speaker 1: the p A. But I think we're good. I think
12:22
Speaker 1: it's gonna be good. Yeah, you might want to do
12:25
Speaker 1: that before you have to use it. Tomorrow's rehearsals for
12:28
Speaker 1: you were you were telling me that you guys have
12:30
Speaker 1: never done anything like this together. No, we've never done
12:34
Speaker 1: the anthem together. This is our first time. Whenever they ask,
12:37
Speaker 1: I was like, she she sings it great. Have hear that.
12:40
Speaker 1: I sit out in the crowd and I have a
12:42
Speaker 1: beer and a hot dog. It's incredible. But but it
12:45
Speaker 1: felt like, if we're ever gonna do it, this is
12:46
Speaker 1: the time. And uh, I think we worked up a
12:48
Speaker 1: version that will be it'll be fun. And it sounded
12:51
Speaker 1: good out there and we did it, and yeah, we're excited.
12:55
Speaker 1: So you're undefeated by the way, you're too, and oh,
12:57
Speaker 1: let's go, let's do this, let's go. Let's I'm I'm
13:01
Speaker 1: prepared to be three and okay, I'm gonna need that energy.
13:04
Speaker 1: How long does it take you, guys to come up
13:07
Speaker 1: with the process of trying to come up with something
13:11
Speaker 1: new and blending the two of you together for the anthem?
13:15
Speaker 1: You know, it usually comes together pretty quick. I mean,
13:17
Speaker 1: you get the idea. I listened to some different versions,
13:20
Speaker 1: and I couldn't find any just guitar and voice, so
13:23
Speaker 1: you have to just find some hybrid. And then it's
13:26
Speaker 1: just you know, following her, following her voice, and uh
13:29
Speaker 1: figuring out what works. You know, you you stumble along
13:32
Speaker 1: the way. Luckily you're not in front of seventy people
13:35
Speaker 1: would when you're rehearsing right right, right right, spending all
13:38
Speaker 1: week with a Derek Truck Susan Tudeski with us from Tedeski.
13:41
Speaker 1: Truck's band will have the anthem Saturday night here at
13:44
Speaker 1: the Bank. Alright, So Jack's fans season ticket holders, I mean,
13:48
Speaker 1: the epic run to the division title. We're all floored
13:52
Speaker 1: by it. It's incredible. But Derek, I mean, just seeing
13:55
Speaker 1: him finish this thing the other night was incredible. I mean,
13:58
Speaker 1: what a way to go out and and it was
14:00
Speaker 1: interesting because it's it's been a long time since you
14:03
Speaker 1: as a fan, and you can see it in the
14:04
Speaker 1: players where there's just a sense of, um, just give
14:07
Speaker 1: us the ball back. We'll probably take it down the
14:10
Speaker 1: field or something's gonna give. Like the there wasn't always
14:14
Speaker 1: a lot of hope. It was if you had the lead,
14:17
Speaker 1: it was almost like, uh, let's hold on and it's
14:19
Speaker 1: a different spirit, Like it feels like the team is
14:21
Speaker 1: in a different headspace. And I remember sneaking down to
14:25
Speaker 1: a practice this year preseason, and it was a different
14:28
Speaker 1: feeling right out of the gate training camp, training camp,
14:31
Speaker 1: and you could just tell it was a different energy.
14:33
Speaker 1: Um and you know it was it was up and
14:36
Speaker 1: down here, but it seemed to never get off the
14:38
Speaker 1: rails entirely. And we were three and seven, right, incredible
14:42
Speaker 1: to be here, but you know, it always felt like, uh,
14:46
Speaker 1: it was possible, and it's it's fun to watch it happen.
14:48
Speaker 1: I mean, you got uh, you got a coach, you
14:51
Speaker 1: got a quarterback. You gotta take it to the show.
14:53
Speaker 1: It's pretty pretty good. I like our chances. So you
14:57
Speaker 1: were mentioning in the coach. I mean, that makes a
14:58
Speaker 1: huge difference when you gotta go Doug Peterson around. When
15:01
Speaker 1: I heard that we were getting Doug Peterson, I was like,
15:03
Speaker 1: we're going to the super Bowl. Everyone's laughing at me,
15:06
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what do you about. That's like, our
15:08
Speaker 1: boys need to be led. They need a great coach,
15:11
Speaker 1: and we got a great coach. This is the first
15:13
Speaker 1: time I don't have to worry about if we're gonna
15:15
Speaker 1: have good clock management, or if they're gonna make good calls,
15:18
Speaker 1: because in the past, I'm sorry, I'm just I'm gonna
15:21
Speaker 1: say it, it was not good. But this is a
15:24
Speaker 1: real coach with a beautiful attitude. He's gonna he's gonna
15:28
Speaker 1: get these kids ready, they're gonna go in and they're
15:30
Speaker 1: gonna surprise people. And I'm telling you, I would not
15:33
Speaker 1: be shocked if we are a f C championship. All right,
15:36
Speaker 1: let's go, let's go. I'm walking it down. I'm I mean,
15:41
Speaker 1: anything could happen once you get to the playoffs. That's
15:44
Speaker 1: the hardest part. I grew up in New England. I've
15:46
Speaker 1: seen it all. I grew up in the Groven years.
15:48
Speaker 1: Come on, I think we could do that. I really do.
15:51
Speaker 1: I think that anything can happen once you get this far,
15:54
Speaker 1: you know, and you you're we have the momentum. Come on,
15:57
Speaker 1: let's go. You can get to believe. You can tell
16:00
Speaker 1: she's not really positive about the Grogan years because most
16:02
Speaker 1: people would like to refer to that as a John
16:04
Speaker 1: Hannah year. You know, we ran into flute at an airport.
16:09
Speaker 1: Not too that pretty excited about you probably it's one
16:16
Speaker 1: of the few times two inches taller than me. He's
16:20
Speaker 1: not very tall. Great considering how short he was. He did,
16:24
Speaker 1: he did, he did very good. So it's obvious that
16:26
Speaker 1: you guys are rabbit Jaguar fans, which is incredible. So
16:29
Speaker 1: do you guys actually create the tour schedule around Jaguars football?
16:34
Speaker 1: Great question. You know we for a long time, we
16:37
Speaker 1: like we have. I have to admit the last few
16:40
Speaker 1: years were like the first time sore like can we
16:42
Speaker 1: book shows in February? I was like, yeah, we can
16:45
Speaker 1: book shoot February. So luckily we're not booked this week
16:49
Speaker 1: or it would have been really tough. But you know,
16:52
Speaker 1: she was just asking if we get deeper into it,
16:54
Speaker 1: like how locked in are these shows in the next
16:57
Speaker 1: It's a big band, so it's probably hard to pull out.
17:00
Speaker 1: But I can't see tonight. But we've already talked to
17:05
Speaker 1: our management and booking agent about the next five plush years,
17:09
Speaker 1: like we're gonna have to tour soft until we're bullish team,
17:15
Speaker 1: and you know what, every everything is gravy from on
17:18
Speaker 1: you know, from here on out. I think this whole
17:20
Speaker 1: city is so excited about where they've already brought us
17:22
Speaker 1: that there should be no pressure. It should just be
17:24
Speaker 1: like this is fun, just have energy. Again, I used
17:29
Speaker 1: to go to games with my grandfather and the Jacksonville
17:31
Speaker 1: Bulls here when I was a small kid, and um,
17:35
Speaker 1: when we got the team, that was at that energy
17:37
Speaker 1: again of like you just you never thought this town
17:39
Speaker 1: would get a professional team. So through the thin years,
17:43
Speaker 1: we always we're like, we gotta go, like if Jacksonville
17:46
Speaker 1: loses this team, because there were years where it felt
17:48
Speaker 1: like it could go away, and it was. It always
17:51
Speaker 1: felt like a mission to just like you know, we're going,
17:53
Speaker 1: we're showing up, we're tailgating, We're making this happen. So
17:56
Speaker 1: this feels good and you could the audience last week
17:59
Speaker 1: was incredible. There was there was a lot of release
18:02
Speaker 1: from the stands down to the field. That was a
18:04
Speaker 1: good feeling. So so if I could take you guys
18:06
Speaker 1: down the hall to get you two jerseys to wear
18:09
Speaker 1: to the game, who would you choose? A we're talking
18:12
Speaker 1: to this team, Yeah, I know who you're picking. Derek Oh,
18:18
Speaker 1: I like so many of them. It's not really fair.
18:20
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Alan, after last week, I'm played big. Yeah. Nice,
18:29
Speaker 1: It's not Trevor Lawrence. Girls I mean, I love Trevor,
18:33
Speaker 1: I love et and I love Evan Ingram, I love
18:37
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, all the there's too many to mention.
18:41
Speaker 1: I would just put them all on there, a bunch
18:43
Speaker 1: of many numbers, maybe even like defense an offense like
18:49
Speaker 1: And here's the deal, Susan, if you talk to the
18:51
Speaker 1: equipment staff, okay, yeah, I bet you, they might be
18:54
Speaker 1: able to do something like that, you know, put a
18:57
Speaker 1: bunch of mini numbers on. That would be One thing
19:01
Speaker 1: I do want to say about this team that I
19:03
Speaker 1: do love is that they've got each other's back because
19:06
Speaker 1: when the offense is having a hard time, the defense
19:09
Speaker 1: is stepping up. If the defense is having a hard time,
19:12
Speaker 1: the offense is stepping up. And that's what you gotta do.
19:14
Speaker 1: You gotta work as a team. And I love that.
19:17
Speaker 1: And yes, let's go, Susan Tsky Derek Trucks from Yeah, Yeah,
19:23
Speaker 1: you want to do the rest of the show us soon.
19:25
Speaker 1: I know. I'm sorry, I get a little excited. I'm
19:30
Speaker 1: so excited. I Am the Moon. The album out for
19:33
Speaker 1: four albums in one and that came out last fall.
19:36
Speaker 1: It's fantastic. Where can people find it? I think it's
19:39
Speaker 1: an all the stores anymore, right, so where stream you
19:43
Speaker 1: can actually find it on YouTube and watch. We always
19:46
Speaker 1: cut things to vinyl, so there's always there's always that.
19:48
Speaker 1: But yeah, they the pandemic. No touring for a band
19:52
Speaker 1: like us. They we got stuck in a studio for
19:55
Speaker 1: a year and you got to get something done. So
19:58
Speaker 1: we we wrote four albums, was the material, and it
20:01
Speaker 1: was it was really nice. It's nice being home, you realize.
20:04
Speaker 1: So it's a bit of a double edged sword. Now
20:06
Speaker 1: we gotta get out and tour and try to balance
20:08
Speaker 1: home in a way. But uh, it's sure. It's nice
20:11
Speaker 1: being home. And this year we were home for most
20:13
Speaker 1: of the home games just by chance. So lucky. Yeah.
20:16
Speaker 1: Well we we love it, love living here and love
20:19
Speaker 1: being a part of it. Well, we love you, guys,
20:21

20:27
Speaker 1: Can squeeze one more. What are you gonna wear for

Speaker 1: wear a jersey, man, I'm going to wear a jersey
20:37
Speaker 1: with this and I'll have my warm jacket in the
20:40
Speaker 1: stadium like up in the stands, but I don't care.
20:43
Speaker 1: I want to be wide awake to an ice path
20:45
Speaker 1: right before we come out. So ready. In the old
20:50
Speaker 1: days when you played David Letterman, it was that cold
20:52
Speaker 1: in the studio there. You know you're getting ready for
20:55
Speaker 1: these things. You know, you know it's getting chilly tomorrow night.
20:58

21:06

21:22
Speaker 1: The Doug Peterson Show coming up on Jaguars Radio. Welcome Back,
21:36
Speaker 1: The Doug Peterson Show continues right now. We're back. It
21:40
Speaker 1: is the Doug Peterson Show, presented by the Florida Department
21:43
Speaker 1: of Highway Safety and Motory Vehicles, J P. Shadrick, Jeff
21:46
Speaker 1: Logaman or Thanks to head coach Doug Peterson joining us
21:48
Speaker 1: in the opening segment each and every week at five
21:51
Speaker 1: o'clock and Derek Trucks and Susan Twodski bringing the heat
21:55
Speaker 1: before this playoff games. Saturday night. They'll have the anthem
21:59
Speaker 1: rolling through the hall way after the rehearsal today and
22:02
Speaker 1: we we thank them and for their time today. Fantastic.
22:05
Speaker 1: I love listening how how music gets created. And I
22:09
Speaker 1: would have loved to have been there when they first
22:11
Speaker 1: started having a conversation about Okay, here we do this,
22:14
Speaker 1: what are we gonna do? You know, because, uh, the
22:17
Speaker 1: creativity and the art that people have that do that,
22:21
Speaker 1: I mean that's something I've always kind of, i guess,
22:23
Speaker 1: admired and people that they have the ability to create
22:26
Speaker 1: something that's timeless in music, and that's cool. I mean,
22:29
Speaker 1: what a what a cool experience? That wasn't great? Great
22:32
Speaker 1: to meet them. Yeah, Derek longtime and the Almond Brothers band.
22:35
Speaker 1: Of course, Susan had her own solo career. They have
22:37
Speaker 1: their band together now, Todesky Truck's band, and you'll see
22:40
Speaker 1: both of them Saturday night for the anthem. It should
22:44
Speaker 1: be fantastic. About forty two degrees at kickoff time Saturday night.
22:48
Speaker 1: So we heard from Doug Peterson of course, and you
22:52
Speaker 1: know he knows that he's an offensive guy. You're gonna
22:54
Speaker 1: have to score some points in this game. This feels
22:57
Speaker 1: like one of those shootout tight games, if you will,
22:59
Speaker 1: with Herbert and Lawrence, so you gotta get yours somehow offensively?
23:03
Speaker 1: Can they bounce back and get back on track As
23:05
Speaker 1: an offense, it starts with the gentleman with a long
23:09
Speaker 1: blonde hair wearing number sixteen. Yeah, I mean he's he's
23:12
Speaker 1: you know, you want him to be better, and there's
23:14
Speaker 1: a lot of ways that you can win. The great
23:16
Speaker 1: thing about Trevor is that here we are kind of
23:19
Speaker 1: criticizing him somewhat, and well, he hadn't been exactly good
23:23
Speaker 1: as he was before. But what's the one thing that
23:25
Speaker 1: he hasn't done. He's not turning the ball over and
23:29
Speaker 1: so by protecting the ball, he's given his football team
23:31
Speaker 1: a chance. And if he can protect the ball and
23:35
Speaker 1: give a little bit more of that dynamic player that's
23:38
Speaker 1: athletic and in control and command, then all of a sudden,
23:41
Speaker 1: this offense can do some pretty special things. And and
23:45
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to it, you know, because the stage
23:47
Speaker 1: gets bigger. You know, the stage was big last week
23:50
Speaker 1: and it was a game that was being broadcast across
23:53
Speaker 1: the nation. It was prime time. Well here you go again.
23:56
Speaker 1: But the stakes are bigger, okay, because there's a trophy
24:00
Speaker 1: has a football on the top of it. Okay that
24:03
Speaker 1: everybody is chasing right now, and everybody right now is
24:06
Speaker 1: zero and zero in this tournament. So if you can
24:09
Speaker 1: find a way to get hods of football team, hold on,
24:12
Speaker 1: let's go four wins away from hoisting Lombardi Trophy. About that.
24:17
Speaker 1: Think about it like that week to week though. That's right,
24:20
Speaker 1: that's right. Look at the Chargers are thinking the same thing,
24:24
Speaker 1: you know, and uh, look there's some great teams in
24:27
Speaker 1: the a f C. If you can find a way
24:29
Speaker 1: to do it in the a f C, it might
24:32
Speaker 1: be one of the greatest playoff marches in NFL history.
24:37
Speaker 1: If you're this football team, you can find a way
24:39
Speaker 1: to get to the super Bowl because of the teams
24:41
Speaker 1: that you're gonna have to beat to get there, are
24:43
Speaker 1: the teams that are gonna have to go down for
24:45
Speaker 1: you to get there. It's pretty uh, pretty impressive because
24:48
Speaker 1: Buffalo is really good, Cincinnati is really good, and they're
24:51
Speaker 1: hot and uh, of course, uh the other team I'm
24:56
Speaker 1: forgetting off the top of my head. U the number
25:00
Speaker 1: one seed, the Chief City Chiefs might have heard of them. Yeah,
25:04
Speaker 1: geeze got off the top of Holmes Kelsey the whole
25:08
Speaker 1: top of the head. I mean, it looks this is
25:10
Speaker 1: a really good conference, really good conference. Boy, I wish
25:13
Speaker 1: that you were in the NFC conference. Those teams, I
25:18
Speaker 1: don't just don't believe that they're that good. They're good,
25:21
Speaker 1: I mean, just a couple of but not like the
25:23
Speaker 1: a f C though. Look at the quarterback. Quarterback rooms
25:27
Speaker 1: in the a f C are stacked. Yes, I'll give
25:29
Speaker 1: you that, that's the difference. But I mean, did in
25:35
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens winning a few years ago with some
25:37
Speaker 1: guy by the name of Trent dilfor Yes, it's been
25:40
Speaker 1: a few more than a few years ago, but yes,
25:43
Speaker 1: to your point, it's been a little while. Half possible
25:46
Speaker 1: to make it without the guy, but it's not as likely.
25:51
Speaker 1: Let's come back and get into the defense. They have
25:54
Speaker 1: been playing opportunistic football as of late. Plenty more ahead.
25:58
Speaker 1: This is the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
26:07
Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now. Welcome
26:12
Speaker 1: back j P. Shadrick with Jeff Flagaman. The Doug Peterson
26:15
Speaker 1: Show continues our thanks to the JAG's head coach. He
26:18
Speaker 1: joins us at five o'clock sharp every Thursday here on
26:21
Speaker 1: the network, and even ahead of the wild Card playoff
26:24
Speaker 1: game as the Jaguars entertained the Chargers, Derek Truck Susan
26:28
Speaker 1: Twdeski joinning us in studio a little earlier as well.
26:31
Speaker 1: They'll have the national anthem before the game. And what
26:34
Speaker 1: a performance that should be Saturday night eight fifteen, the
26:37
Speaker 1: kickoff time the Chargers and Jags in the wild Card game.
26:41
Speaker 1: The Jaguars defense logs opportunistic, I'd say as of late.
26:46
Speaker 1: They are are making big plays in key moments of games,
26:50
Speaker 1: scoring touchdowns, game winning scores when the offense maybe off
26:55
Speaker 1: for having an issue here there, they've stepped up and
26:58
Speaker 1: and played big really down the stretch. Run here in
27:00
Speaker 1: this winning streak, well they got the you know, the
27:02
Speaker 1: four scores, and two of them in that winning streak
27:05
Speaker 1: wanted Dallison in his past one and uh, the takeaways
27:08
Speaker 1: this year has been a vast improvement from last year.
27:12
Speaker 1: You know, here's a couple of numbers. Last year they
27:14
Speaker 1: had nine takeaways as a defense, and there was twenty
27:18
Speaker 1: or excuse me, sixteen points scored off of those nine takeaways,
27:21
Speaker 1: which is shocking lee low. This year twenty seven takeaways,
27:26
Speaker 1: and there has been a hundred four points scored off
27:29
Speaker 1: of those twenty seven takeaways, and obviously four defensive scores
27:34
Speaker 1: have come from those takeaways, but that's that's an impressive number.
27:38
Speaker 1: And uh, the sacks are not where they would like
27:42
Speaker 1: to have them, but the pressures have been there, the
27:44
Speaker 1: passes defense to have been there, and they're doing a
27:48
Speaker 1: really good job with a roster that I think, you
27:51
Speaker 1: know is is still in the process of being built.
27:54
Speaker 1: You know, you're in the in the first year of
27:56
Speaker 1: the of the Doug Peterson Trent Balky regime, and it
27:59
Speaker 1: takes time to kind of mold the roster to the
28:03
Speaker 1: vision that you have as coach and general manager. And
28:06
Speaker 1: they're still work to do. But I I give Doug
28:09
Speaker 1: Peterson credit. I give us coaching staff a lot of
28:13
Speaker 1: credit because they have been able to get what I
28:16
Speaker 1: believe is everything out of this roster that's been there,
28:20
Speaker 1: and they will continue to build this roster and to
28:23
Speaker 1: get more out of this football team in the future,
28:26
Speaker 1: which is exciting because if they were able to accomplish
28:30
Speaker 1: this in year one, what can they do with another
28:34
Speaker 1: year of of supplementing the roster another year of teaching
28:39
Speaker 1: the foundation principles of offense and defense that they have.
28:42
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's exciting. It is exciting. Let's get
28:47
Speaker 1: it done this week though one with you. But I mean, JP,
28:52
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, you're just like Susan and Derek we're
28:56
Speaker 1: talking about. I mean, there's there's reason to be excited
28:59
Speaker 1: about the future. It's the future that's the immediate future,
29:03
Speaker 1: but then also the long term future of this football
29:06
Speaker 1: team because look, the two hardest components to get in
29:10
Speaker 1: any franchise or the quarterback in the coach. And you
29:14
Speaker 1: got that. And so now, okay, let's get the rest
29:18
Speaker 1: of it all kind of figured out and go from there.
29:21
Speaker 1: But right now, time to get a win. We'll come
29:25
Speaker 1: back and get in the trenches logs and talk about
29:28
Speaker 1: the O line D line matchups on both sides of
29:30
Speaker 1: this a f C Wild Card playoff game the Chargers
29:33
Speaker 1: and the Jaguars coming up Saturday night. This is the
29:36
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio. Welcome back. The Doug
29:51
Speaker 1: Peterson Show continues right now and we're presented by the
29:54
Speaker 1: Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. This is
29:58
Speaker 1: the Doug Peterson show j A. P. Shadrick with Jeff
30:01
Speaker 1: Logaman Doug Peterson in the opening segment five o'clock each
30:04
Speaker 1: and every Thursday night. Are thanks to Derek Truck Susan
30:07
Speaker 1: Tedeski for joining us as well. They'll have the anthem
30:10
Speaker 1: performance before the game Saturday night, eight fifteen. Kickoff time
30:13
Speaker 1: for the Chargers and Jaguars. Okay, Logs, it's time to
30:18
Speaker 1: get in the trenches. Do it. Let's get into it
30:21
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars offensive line against this defensive front for
30:26
Speaker 1: the Chargers. We've heard a lot about the pass rushers,
30:28
Speaker 1: of course, Joey Bosa, Khalil Mack, big names, eighth year
30:33
Speaker 1: guy in Bosa, ninth year guy and Mac. But they're
30:36
Speaker 1: not great against the run. Is a defense there, I
30:38
Speaker 1: think in the league against the run this year last
30:41
Speaker 1: in the league and yards per rush. So what do
30:43
Speaker 1: you make of the defensive front as a whole against
30:46
Speaker 1: this Jags offensive line. Well, the reason the Chargers are
30:49
Speaker 1: not good against the run and is not because of
30:51
Speaker 1: Bosa or Mac. Those two guys are really good against
30:54
Speaker 1: the run and excellent against the past as well, because
30:57
Speaker 1: they've got a hundred forty five career sacks between the
30:59
Speaker 1: two of them, but they're complete players. They play very well.
31:02
Speaker 1: The deficiency in the Chargers defense, or the area that
31:06
Speaker 1: they're a little bit weak, is the defensive tackle position,
31:09
Speaker 1: and that's a matchup that you hope that the Jaguars
31:12
Speaker 1: will will be able to win and to do pretty well.
31:15
Speaker 1: In this past game against Tennessee with two dudes, Tierre
31:19
Speaker 1: Tart and Jeffrey Simmons, the Titans won that matchup. They
31:23
Speaker 1: controlled the line of scrimmage against the Jaguars, and Fortner
31:27
Speaker 1: and Sheriff and Shatley had their hands full. I mean,
31:29
Speaker 1: those two guys are really good. So you've got to
31:31
Speaker 1: be able to win against the middle of that Chargers defense. Now,
31:37
Speaker 1: the edges are gonna be a challenge, and I think
31:39
Speaker 1: Chris man Hurts is gonna be a big part of that.
31:41
Speaker 1: And we talked to Chris a little bit ago, and
31:44
Speaker 1: he knows very well that his number is gonna be
31:47
Speaker 1: called upon to help block Bosa and Mac both in
31:51
Speaker 1: the run game. And I'm sure they're gonna leave him
31:53
Speaker 1: on the outside to help one of the tackles so
31:56
Speaker 1: that they can slide away from where Chris is to
32:00
Speaker 1: vibe more help for the other guy. You know so,
32:03
Speaker 1: But that's part of the deal when you got two
32:05
Speaker 1: great edge players and you've got to be able to
32:07
Speaker 1: put the attention on him. So and they'll do that
32:10
Speaker 1: a couple different ways. Man hurts will help, and Man
32:14
Speaker 1: hurts his your designated blocking tight end, having Ingram's the
32:17
Speaker 1: receiving guy, and then e t n or Jamachael Hasty.
32:21
Speaker 1: These two guys will either stay in at times or
32:25
Speaker 1: they will will make sure that they chip on their
32:29
Speaker 1: way out. And chips can be incredibly effective. And I'm
32:34
Speaker 1: I can speak from experience and that you take a
32:36
Speaker 1: couple of shots by running back that are unexpected on
32:39
Speaker 1: his way out, and you have intendency next time that
32:41
Speaker 1: he's flashing in your neighborhood. You're slowing down a little
32:44
Speaker 1: bit if he gets you pretty good in the ribs
32:46
Speaker 1: one or two times. So you want to make sure
32:49
Speaker 1: that those guys have that mentality that, oh my gosh,
32:51
Speaker 1: am I gonna get whacked by een or Hasty and
32:55
Speaker 1: then Man hurts his kind of this additional offensive line
32:58
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it kind of in an office. It's
33:00
Speaker 1: the line way. Let's slip it around now, Jaguars defensive
33:04
Speaker 1: front against this Chargers o line. You know, back in
33:08
Speaker 1: week three you you mentioned that their center was out.
33:11
Speaker 1: Now their tackle is out. The Jaguars defensive front as
33:15
Speaker 1: a group playing pretty good. What do you think. I
33:18
Speaker 1: think this is a matchup that you need to win.
33:20
Speaker 1: And when I say you need to win, if you
33:22
Speaker 1: don't win this matchup again, just like the other side
33:25
Speaker 1: of the ball, you need to win inside, you need
33:26
Speaker 1: to win here against this Chargers offensive line. They've got
33:29
Speaker 1: two rookies playing. One at left tackle who was a
33:31
Speaker 1: six round pick out of Georgia who's playing because of
33:34
Speaker 1: the injury to Slater, and he's done a good job.
33:37
Speaker 1: The right guard is Zion Johnson. He's done a good
33:40
Speaker 1: job to These are rookies, but they're good players. Now.
33:43
Speaker 1: The right tackles not particularly strong, the left guard is
33:47
Speaker 1: not particularly strong. Filer is the left guard. Um the center,
33:52
Speaker 1: Linley is one of the best centers in league. And
33:54
Speaker 1: so that's the challenge right there. But you've got to
33:56
Speaker 1: try to find a way to attack the rookie left
33:59
Speaker 1: tackle who's good again, the right tackle who's a veteran
34:03
Speaker 1: guy who's not that great in my opinion, and also
34:06
Speaker 1: win against the left guard. So it's got to be
34:09
Speaker 1: a group effort, though. You gotta find a way to
34:11
Speaker 1: get pressure against Herbert, because again, if he's got a
34:14
Speaker 1: great pocket and he's comfortable, this guy can attack the
34:18
Speaker 1: entire field because he has that kind of armed arm talent.
34:22
Speaker 1: Let's come back in a moment and discuss experience in
34:25
Speaker 1: the playoffs or lack thereof for a certain Jacksonville football team.
34:32
Speaker 1: We're back in a moment. It's the Doug Peterson Show
34:34
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back. The Doug Peterson
34:42
Speaker 1: Show continues right now. We're back, baby. It's The Doug
34:46
Speaker 1: Peterson Show, JP Shatrick with Jeff Logoman. The a f
34:49
Speaker 1: C Wild Card playoff game coming up Saturday night, eight fifteen,
34:53
Speaker 1: presented by Daily's It's Nicer here the Chargers and the Jaguars. Boy,
35:00
Speaker 1: what a game it's gonna be. Our thanks to Doug Peterson,
35:02
Speaker 1: Jaguars head coach earlier for joining us, Derek Truck Susan
35:06
Speaker 1: Tadeski from Tadski Truck's band, They'll have the anthem. They
35:09
Speaker 1: joined us a little earlier as well, and I brought
35:11
Speaker 1: the heat. I would say, massive Jaguar fans, season ticket holders,
35:15
Speaker 1: they'll perform and then stay for the game obviously to
35:17
Speaker 1: try to pull the Jaguars through. So, you know, experience
35:21
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, does it matter to you that you
35:24
Speaker 1: have experienced. Is it better to have a whole lot
35:26
Speaker 1: or is it Hey, this team might not have a
35:29
Speaker 1: whole lot. They don't know what they don't know. Well,
35:31
Speaker 1: it definitely doesn't hurt. And I think it allows guys
35:35
Speaker 1: to kind of understand that the game is the same,
35:38
Speaker 1: but it changes in some ways in the playoffs, and
35:41
Speaker 1: that it's a little faster, it's a little bit more reckless.
35:45
Speaker 1: You've got guys that are willing to sacrifice their bodies
35:47
Speaker 1: a little bit more that. I think the the turnovers
35:50
Speaker 1: get magnified in the playoffs and all of that I
35:53
Speaker 1: think helps a team understand if they've been through that before.
35:56
Speaker 1: You know, if you look at the numbers, and here
35:58
Speaker 1: are some that thank to the NFL for putting out
36:01
Speaker 1: some of this information, the Jaguars have the fewest players
36:07
Speaker 1: with playoff experience on their roster in the playoffs, with
36:11
Speaker 1: thirteen players, and the highest number of the Buffalo Bills
36:16
Speaker 1: they have forty three forty Niners have forty one, highest
36:19
Speaker 1: in the a f C would be the Bengals with
36:22
Speaker 1: thirty seven and then the Chiefs with thirty six. So
36:26
Speaker 1: are excuse me? The Buffalo is obviously the highest because there,
36:30
Speaker 1: but you know, the other FC teams have significant amount.
36:35
Speaker 1: Yeah they're they're there and so but you know, I
36:38
Speaker 1: think the one thing that helps this football team, they've
36:41
Speaker 1: had a very calming presence, great leadership with Doug and
36:45
Speaker 1: he's been in the playoffs before, and he's been in
36:47
Speaker 1: the mountaintop before, and I think that helps, you know,
36:49
Speaker 1: because a lot of times when you get to the playoffs,
36:51
Speaker 1: you gotta have the ability to listen to understand. And
36:55
Speaker 1: when that message is sometime thrown about, like maybe by
36:58
Speaker 1: a guy of the name of Randon Staley, players are listening,
37:02
Speaker 1: but are they really taking it in? And what is
37:05
Speaker 1: Brandon stalely done? Does he want a Super Bowl? No? Okay,
37:10
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson saying things about what the playoffs are like,
37:15
Speaker 1: and what are you thinking? You're thinking he probably knows,
37:19
Speaker 1: he's been there, he's won it. Probably he's one of you.
37:23
Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit a little bit different now.
37:25
Speaker 1: So I mean, it is great to have coaches that
37:26
Speaker 1: have experience and now this coaching staff has has done
37:30
Speaker 1: a great job this year, and I expect them to
37:32
Speaker 1: do a great job in the playoffs as well and
37:33
Speaker 1: getting his football team ready. You know, we talked a
37:36
Speaker 1: little earlier logs about the quarterbacks in this game. Obviously
37:39
Speaker 1: Herbert and Lawrence two of the young guns up and
37:42
Speaker 1: coming in the a f C. It is a stacked
37:44
Speaker 1: a f C um but we didn't really uh delve
37:49
Speaker 1: into how stacked it is compared to the NFC roster
37:54
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks on those teams that are playing in the
37:56
Speaker 1: NFC playoffs. So, I mean, we talked about these players
38:00
Speaker 1: that have been drafted highly that are in these games
38:04
Speaker 1: in the a f C. It's not the case in
38:05
Speaker 1: the NFC, which is kind of strange. H Well, it's uh,
38:09
Speaker 1: it's wild. And that the oldest quarterback in the a
38:13
Speaker 1: f C, Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs. Yeah, like the
38:17
Speaker 1: most experience, Okay, and all of the a f C
38:21
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and that's assumed. Let's just say that, Okay, tongue
38:24
Speaker 1: Volo is going to be starting, or that for the
38:27
Speaker 1: Ravens that Lamar Jackson would be the starter. All of
38:31
Speaker 1: the a f C quarterbacks are first round picks them.
38:36
Speaker 1: The NFC only has one. And I quizzed you, and
38:39
Speaker 1: you got it wrong. I got it wrong for a minute,
38:41
Speaker 1: but I forgot about Daniel Jones. Daniel Jones of the Giants.
38:44
Speaker 1: He's the only first round pick quarterback in the NFC playoffs.
38:48
Speaker 1: Gino Smith the second round pick with Jalen Hurt, same thing,
38:51
Speaker 1: second round pick Kirk Cousins of four, Dak Prescott of four,
38:55
Speaker 1: Tom Brady of course, legendary six. Brock Purdy was the
39:00
Speaker 1: last pick of the draft, wasn't and he's playing well. Yeah,
39:08
Speaker 1: who do you like out of the NFC? I like them.
39:11
Speaker 1: I like the forty niners. He brought parties playing well
39:14
Speaker 1: enough and they've got the most dominant defense in the
39:17
Speaker 1: playoffs in San Francisco. Back to the a f C,
39:21
Speaker 1: you mentioned that mahomes the oldest of those guys at nine.
39:25
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys are all gonna be around for
39:26
Speaker 1: a long time. This is just beginning, this this era
39:30
Speaker 1: of a f C quarterback play. It's uh, it's kind
39:34
Speaker 1: of crazy, isn't it. And that the NFC just doesn't
39:37
Speaker 1: have anybody that that strikes fearing you. I mean, Jalen Hurts,
39:43
Speaker 1: I think is the one guy, and he's had an
39:46
Speaker 1: incredible year until he got hurt, and hopefully he comes
39:49
Speaker 1: back healthy just because you want to see him play
39:52
Speaker 1: well and be healthy. But he's that kind of that
39:54
Speaker 1: dual threat with that read option stuff, and he's got
39:57
Speaker 1: an excellent arm. He's an excellent core her back. As
40:00
Speaker 1: far as distributing the ball, he's impressive. And he's got
40:04
Speaker 1: a calmness about him that I think permeates throughout his team,
40:08
Speaker 1: and that's that's been impressive to watch. Can he get
40:11
Speaker 1: back to form after that injury to his shoulder, which
40:15
Speaker 1: was a throwing shoulder I believe wasn't it, So that's
40:19
Speaker 1: gonna be an interesting to watch. Will Tom Brady be
40:21
Speaker 1: able to regain the form and get his team playing
40:26
Speaker 1: hot like they were a couple of years ago. I
40:29
Speaker 1: don't know. It's kind of hard to flip the switch,
40:32
Speaker 1: but it's but anybody can he can him? You know,
40:38
Speaker 1: he's he's done this a time or two in the playoffs.
40:41
Speaker 1: And he is obviously the oldest quarterback in the playoffs,
40:44
Speaker 1: the oldest quarterback in a long time, but forty five
40:47
Speaker 1: years old a hundred and sixty four days. He will
40:50
Speaker 1: be for the start of the playoffs, Trevor being the
40:52
Speaker 1: youngest at twenty three years old and a hundred days
40:57
Speaker 1: let's come back. We'll get our final thoughts about this
41:00
Speaker 1: a f C wild Card playoff game the l A
41:02
Speaker 1: Chargers and the Jacksonville Jaguars coming up Saturday night eight.
41:06
Speaker 1: This is the Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio. Welcome back.
41:16
Speaker 1: The Doug Peterson Show continues right now, counting down the
41:21
Speaker 1: final moments on this Thursday on The Doug Peterson Show,
41:24
Speaker 1: j P. Shadrick with Jeff Flagman. The Jaguars and the
41:27
Speaker 1: Chargers coming up Saturday eight fifteen kickoff time. Al Michael's
41:32
Speaker 1: Tony Dungee on the call. Tony Dungee was at practice today.
41:36
Speaker 1: Got to shake his hand. That was nice. Yeah, talked
41:38
Speaker 1: to him for for a brief minute, and uh, he
41:42
Speaker 1: looks great. He's one of those guys that's taking really
41:44
Speaker 1: good care of himself and he's got a lot of
41:48
Speaker 1: wisdom when he talks. I really enjoy him on Sunday
41:51
Speaker 1: Night Football. You know, ever since John Madden has past us,
41:56
Speaker 1: I always kind of do you always want to find
41:58
Speaker 1: that next big picture voice. Think Tony Dungee has a
42:01
Speaker 1: great perspective on a lot of league things. There was
42:05
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. And obviously the Hall of Fame
42:08
Speaker 1: a few years back as the head coach. And he'll
42:11
Speaker 1: be on the call this week. Course Westwood One has
42:13
Speaker 1: the radio broadcast as well. We'll have it on the
42:15
Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio Network and looking forward to it will be
42:19
Speaker 1: on the air on the network at seven o'clock with
42:22
Speaker 1: countdown to kickoff and uh many guests will get you
42:25
Speaker 1: ready for the Jaguars Chargers game. The FC Wildcard game
42:29
Speaker 1: only the fifth home playoff game in Jaguars history, So
42:34
Speaker 1: I'm expecting a similar environmental last week that certainly helped
42:37
Speaker 1: out matters late in the game for the Jags defense.
42:41
Speaker 1: Is this team ready to take the step? Is it
42:43
Speaker 1: a different feel once you're finally in the playoffs? A
42:47
Speaker 1: little looser? Do you believe in that? Yeah? I do.
42:49
Speaker 1: I I do believe that you are are a looser
42:51
Speaker 1: once you get to the playoffs, because you know the
42:55
Speaker 1: look the Chargers are coming in here his favorites, aren't
42:57
Speaker 1: they not? I don't know, I have not seen. Think
43:00
Speaker 1: it's close either way and here and here here's the
43:02
Speaker 1: other thing. Once you get into playoffs. It's all fun.
43:04
Speaker 1: It's like, I'm not a gambling person, but you know
43:08
Speaker 1: that term playing with house money, that's kind of what
43:10
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, you've got nothing to lose. You
43:12
Speaker 1: weren't expected to be in the playoffs, and so you know,
43:16
Speaker 1: you just kind of let it hang out. I think
43:17
Speaker 1: you do that as a as a coaching staff. I
43:19
Speaker 1: think you do that as a player. It's it allows
43:22
Speaker 1: you to play free without any kind of anxiety of
43:25
Speaker 1: or fear of failure. And so I think it's gonna
43:28
Speaker 1: be an exciting day for the players and uh and
43:30
Speaker 1: they're gonna have fun with it and and hopefully they
43:33
Speaker 1: can create some energy on the field because it will
43:35
Speaker 1: make the environment what it was last Saturday. Yeah, and
43:40
Speaker 1: it was, you know, off the charts last Saturday, but
43:44
Speaker 1: just building up to the game of tailgating, parking, lots everything.
43:48
Speaker 1: There was a long day of tailgating and then all
43:51
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the football game happened. It was awesome. Yeah,
43:53
Speaker 1: it was fantastic and a lot of people had a
43:56
Speaker 1: great time. And hopefully this week Saturday Night becomes another
44:00
