0:27
Speaker 1: Week two the home opener of the Indianapolis Colts coming
0:30
Speaker 1: to town. I'm sure you're excited to get in the
0:32
Speaker 1: bank for the first time. Fired up for this one
0:35
Speaker 1: for a lot of reasons, but obviously opened up the
0:38
Speaker 1: season here week week to game one for us here
0:41
Speaker 1: at the at the Bank and and guys are ready
0:43
Speaker 1: to go. We're excited and looking forward to it. A
0:45
Speaker 1: lot of coaches have kind of goals when they established
0:48
Speaker 1: the year. Okay, here's what we want to do, and
0:51
Speaker 1: one of the ones is typically when all of our
0:53
Speaker 1: games at home, do you have kind of that on
0:55
Speaker 1: your guidelines for the team? I do, um it's one
0:58
Speaker 1: of the criteria. You know, obviously you gotta take care
1:01
Speaker 1: of your division opponents and and and win there because
1:03
Speaker 1: that's a that's typically a spot in the tournament, you
1:06
Speaker 1: know at the end of the year. Uh. Secondly, obviously
1:09
Speaker 1: you gotta win your home games. And you know, we've
1:11
Speaker 1: got the seven here, we got the one in London,
1:13
Speaker 1: and and we just gotta take care of business. You know,
1:15
Speaker 1: it's uh home field advantage. Got the crowd in your favor,
1:19
Speaker 1: and it gets loud, it gets crazy, and uh, you know,
1:22
Speaker 1: we just gotta take take care of business right here
1:24
Speaker 1: at our in our backyard. Kind of unique in that,
1:26
Speaker 1: you know, your first game at home, you're getting a
1:28
Speaker 1: face familiar face and frank right, you know, you guys
1:31
Speaker 1: probably have quite the history together. Uh, great history together. Uh.
1:35
Speaker 1: In fact, in two thousand and eighteen, after after we
1:37
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl and seventeen, he was the head
1:39
Speaker 1: coach of the Colts and and brought his team back
1:41
Speaker 1: to Philly, and that was the first time that that
1:44
Speaker 1: we both got to square off against each other. But
1:46
Speaker 1: I got so much respect for him and what he's
1:48
Speaker 1: done in the program he's established there Indianapolis, and and
1:51
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to to seeing him, you know,
1:54
Speaker 1: before the game. I'll see him after the game. But
1:56
Speaker 1: during the game, I know he wants to beat us,
1:58
Speaker 1: and and I want to beat them. Competition maybe never
2:01
Speaker 1: better than against friends. So what's the score in your mind?
2:06
Speaker 1: I know you've got it the game score or no,
2:09
Speaker 1: you versus Frank left the important piece for sure. Alright,
2:16
Speaker 1: So what's the first thing that pops up when you
2:18
Speaker 1: see the Colts? When you turn on the Colts? What
2:21
Speaker 1: who are they? Well? I think it starts with the offense,
2:25
Speaker 1: number one. I think it starts with that, with that
2:26
Speaker 1: really good run game, and and obviously they went out
2:28
Speaker 1: and they got Matt Ryan, who a veteran quarterback to
2:31
Speaker 1: to really kind of solidify and do some things offensively,
2:35
Speaker 1: and and um, you know the run game. Everything kind
2:38
Speaker 1: of runs through that, you know, quite honestly. You know.
2:41
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley on defense, the coordinator, we know very well,
2:44
Speaker 1: you know, and I tell you this, I have faced
2:46
Speaker 1: him many times in this league, and that style of
2:49
Speaker 1: defense around the NFL, and it's a it's a tough,
2:51
Speaker 1: difficult defense. It it's simplistic in nature, but it's hard
2:55
Speaker 1: to move the football and it's really hard to throw
2:58
Speaker 1: the football because these guys typically have you know, rush
3:01
Speaker 1: four and have seven eyes on the quarterback into you know,
3:04
Speaker 1: they're very detailed, which means we have to be very
3:06
Speaker 1: detailed on offense and and really hit our spots. Trevor's
3:09
Speaker 1: gotta get the ball out of his hand on time.
3:11
Speaker 1: And and then I think the other thing is their
3:13
Speaker 1: their past rush just just protecting against four man four
3:16
Speaker 1: man pressures, you know, And and they do a great
3:19
Speaker 1: job you know in that as well. And a couple
3:21
Speaker 1: of guys up front. We know one guy in Gockway
3:23
Speaker 1: was here drafted here could he pay a young player
3:26
Speaker 1: that's pretty stout, not very tall, but stout. But the
3:29
Speaker 1: guy that playing and play out impresses as divorced Buck Long, big,
3:33
Speaker 1: good football player, great football player at six seven, you know,
3:36
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's a he's a force to be
3:38
Speaker 1: reckoned with in the Middle East. Tall, he can bat
3:40
Speaker 1: some balls down. Makes it hard for quarterbacks to see
3:43
Speaker 1: over the middle of the field. And you know, these
3:44
Speaker 1: guys do a great job to pre snap. They really
3:47
Speaker 1: crowd the football. Their their nose is right on the ball,
3:49
Speaker 1: and they got a really good first first step get
3:51
Speaker 1: off and and they time up Cadence really well. And um,
3:55
Speaker 1: they look at TV copy and they understand the game.
3:58
Speaker 1: And that's why it makes it makes it hard for us,
4:00
Speaker 1: and we've got to stay disciplined with within what we're doing. Um,
4:04
Speaker 1: both the run and the past. Watching the film, there's
4:08
Speaker 1: always you know, it's for me. I know you're different
4:10
Speaker 1: because you're looking at schematics and schemes and all that,
4:13
Speaker 1: but just from I kind of watch it from a
4:15
Speaker 1: little bit of an entertainment value as well, and your
4:17
Speaker 1: eyes always get drawn. A certain guy, Deforce Buckner is
4:20
Speaker 1: one of those guys on offense. There's a guy that
4:22
Speaker 1: plays guard and I don't ever watch guards, but this
4:26
Speaker 1: Quenton Nelson guy. Uh, they're paying him a lot of
4:29
Speaker 1: money now and he's worth every penny. He's worth every penny.
4:31
Speaker 1: And he's he's he's a physical, nasty, offensive lineman, just
4:35
Speaker 1: the type of person you want to to really solidify
4:37
Speaker 1: an anchor that that offensive line. And you know, he's
4:40
Speaker 1: been a he's been a staple there now for a
4:42
Speaker 1: few years and and and quite honestly, he's he's what
4:45
Speaker 1: makes that offense go. You know, he's a leader, he's uh,
4:48
Speaker 1: he's the guy that kind of sets the tone, you know,
4:50
Speaker 1: obviously with the run game. Hey, coach Doug Peterson with
4:53
Speaker 1: us on the Doug Peterson Show. The Jaguars defense. Three
4:56
Speaker 1: takeaways last week, This group last year, what had nine
5:00
Speaker 1: a whole season. That's obviously gonna win you a lot
5:02
Speaker 1: of football games in the long long run if you
5:04
Speaker 1: keep getting your hands on the football. And yeah, the
5:07
Speaker 1: middle stretch of that game last week was I think
5:10
Speaker 1: what this defense was designed to be. No points, take
5:13
Speaker 1: away the ball, get after it, right, Yeah, exactly right.
5:16
Speaker 1: And then and that's kind of what I showed the
5:18
Speaker 1: team on Monday. You know, this week is just you know,
5:21
Speaker 1: this is how you can play if you if you
5:23
Speaker 1: if you don't shoot yourself in the foot, eliminate the mistakes,
5:26
Speaker 1: the penalties, some of the the odd ball things that
5:29
Speaker 1: happened against us. You know, you start the second half
5:32
Speaker 1: and you know, uh, there's a punt touchdown, there's another punt,
5:36
Speaker 1: there's a field goal, there's an interception field goal, there's
5:39
Speaker 1: another interception touchdown. So there's four, you know, four possessions
5:43
Speaker 1: both offensively and defensively that um just work hand in hand.
5:48
Speaker 1: And when the defense can create turnovers and create small
5:51
Speaker 1: and shorter fields for the offense. Good things are always
5:53
Speaker 1: gonna happen, and that's always been the case around the league,
5:56
Speaker 1: and so we've preached it from day one. We want
5:59
Speaker 1: to create turnover. Um. You know, we don't live in
6:02
Speaker 1: the past. Obviously, we focused on the future and it
6:04
Speaker 1: was a great job by our defense well, and to
6:06
Speaker 1: get takeaways. If you can get to that that favorable
6:09
Speaker 1: down and distance a lot of the times, that's where
6:11
Speaker 1: it comes. So first, you gotta stop Jonathan Taylor last
6:14
Speaker 1: week had a couple of miss tackles. I'm sure you
6:16
Speaker 1: want to get them cleaned up, but how do you
6:18
Speaker 1: how do you make sure that you I don't want
6:20
Speaker 1: to say you stop Jonathan Taylor because I don't know
6:22
Speaker 1: if anybody really does, But how do you limit him?
6:25
Speaker 1: You know, he's such a big, physical, powerful back. I mean,
6:28
Speaker 1: that's the thing is he's got to be you know,
6:30
Speaker 1: gap sound up front number one. You know, you've got
6:32
Speaker 1: to maintain that integrity right in the run. In the
6:34
Speaker 1: run fits your linebackers. You gotta be able to fill
6:37
Speaker 1: and scrape and and run sideline to sideline and quite frankly,
6:41
Speaker 1: when you hit him, you just go low and you
6:43
Speaker 1: wrap up, and then if you can just hang on
6:45
Speaker 1: and wait for the cavalry to show up and gang
6:47
Speaker 1: tackle him, you gang tackle tackle him. And just like
6:49
Speaker 1: you said, you you're not gonna necessarily stop him, but
6:53
Speaker 1: you want to. You want to slow him up to
6:54
Speaker 1: enough to where maybe it disrupts a little timing offensively
6:57
Speaker 1: for them. But but it's got to all hands on
7:00
Speaker 1: deck to get him on the ground. Is Matt Ryan
7:03
Speaker 1: still the Matt Ryan that took the Falcons to a
7:05
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? I mean, because you know he's been around
7:07
Speaker 1: a while now, he's been around a while, and you
7:09
Speaker 1: just love his leadership and the way he I've always
7:11
Speaker 1: admired the way he played and has played this game.
7:14
Speaker 1: And you know he's gonna study and prepare and listen.
7:17
Speaker 1: He's understood too now where he is in his career
7:19
Speaker 1: that it's not about him. It's about the team and
7:21
Speaker 1: the guys around him, and how he utilizes you know,
7:23
Speaker 1: those weapons on offense, and and you see it in
7:26
Speaker 1: and and really in play calling with Frank Reich. He's
7:29
Speaker 1: you know, he's he's he's just gonna be like run run,
7:31
Speaker 1: play action passed, try to pick a pick a spot
7:33
Speaker 1: to find a shot in there, and and and Matt
7:36
Speaker 1: has always been able to deliver. You know. The I
7:38
Speaker 1: guess the one achilles hell would be the turnovers, you know,
7:41
Speaker 1: with him, if you can get to him early, um
7:43
Speaker 1: and and knock him around. But I'll tell you this,
7:45
Speaker 1: for the most party, he's gonna be smart and he's
7:47
Speaker 1: gonna put the ball where he wants it to go.
7:49
Speaker 1: All right, Doug, It's one week in the books, a
7:51
Speaker 1: bunch of weeks ahead, and it's a long season in
7:53
Speaker 1: the NFL, so you can't as a team panic when
7:56
Speaker 1: things don't go well. At the end of the day,
7:58
Speaker 1: there were some penalties last week, but this seems like
8:00
Speaker 1: locking in that locker room. They're not panicked at all.
8:04
Speaker 1: It's one week. They're moving forward if things exactly right.
8:07
Speaker 1: You know, we got to clean up some stuff. We know.
8:08
Speaker 1: The thirteen penalties was a shock to us because, you know,
8:12
Speaker 1: the most we've had since since I've been here, obviously
8:14
Speaker 1: and really through preseason, and you know, we gotta clean
8:17
Speaker 1: that stuff up. Tackling has to improve, and offensively we
8:20
Speaker 1: had some we had some veteran guys that just misaligned
8:22
Speaker 1: on offense and illegal shifts and formations and things that
8:25
Speaker 1: just can't happen, you know, those are those are those
8:27
Speaker 1: are ways of of taking advantage of of the defense, right,
8:31
Speaker 1: putting our our guys in in advantageous positions. And and
8:35
Speaker 1: when you line up illegal you cover a tight end
8:37
Speaker 1: up or something of that nature, you know, it just
8:39
Speaker 1: can't happen because it sets you back your first and
8:41
Speaker 1: fifteen and and then defensively, you know, some of the
8:44
Speaker 1: communication issues we had in the secondary, all those things
8:48
Speaker 1: we gotta clean up tackling and and honestly, the guys,
8:52
Speaker 1: the guys even down fourteen three at half time, there
8:54
Speaker 1: was no panic in that locker room. The guys were
8:56
Speaker 1: mad because they knew exactly what what was the what
8:59
Speaker 1: was the issue, and was just you know, it was us,
9:01
Speaker 1: and we just gotta, you know, maintain confidence in ourselves,
9:05
Speaker 1: keep it about us, and good things will happen down
9:07
Speaker 1: the road. A lot of times you get to see
9:09
Speaker 1: the most significant improvement in a football team from week
9:12
Speaker 1: one to week two, just because now you've got a
9:13
Speaker 1: game under your belt and you've got some reps, but
9:16
Speaker 1: also with the coaching staff and you're coaching staff. A
9:19
Speaker 1: lot of times in game one you learned things that
9:22
Speaker 1: maybe you were thinking we're gonna be okay or be
9:24
Speaker 1: a certain way, but now you kind of know you've
9:27
Speaker 1: got some validation, some evidence. What did you learn about
9:30
Speaker 1: your team, about your players after week one? Um, I
9:33
Speaker 1: think that one of the things I learned as the
9:35
Speaker 1: head coach was still the youthfulness of the team, you know,
9:38
Speaker 1: being the third youngest football team in the National Football League,
9:40
Speaker 1: and how we approached pregame warmups, how we approached the
9:43
Speaker 1: beginning of that game. There was that sort of that
9:45
Speaker 1: nervous energy, you know that I don't want to say
9:48
Speaker 1: starry eyed guys, but they were locked in, but they
9:51
Speaker 1: were they were excitable, and and we talked all week
9:54
Speaker 1: about how how to control emotions, you know, keep them
9:57
Speaker 1: under wraps where you can still go out and play
9:59
Speaker 1: and have fun. I think that was something that they
10:02
Speaker 1: kind of showed up early with with a young team.
10:04
Speaker 1: And and we played a lot of first time young
10:07
Speaker 1: starters and or position players in this game. And and um,
10:11
Speaker 1: the speed ramps itself up just a little bit from preseason,
10:14
Speaker 1: and now they're taking more reps and things of that nature.
10:17
Speaker 1: And you know, it just comes down to just how
10:19
Speaker 1: you control it. Communication, You have to you know, talk
10:23
Speaker 1: on offense and defense and and um, you know those
10:27
Speaker 1: are all things where we can we can really make
10:29
Speaker 1: I think a big stride here and we two. Doug,
10:32
Speaker 1: thanks for the time as always. Good luck to you
10:34
Speaker 1: this week. Let's get a win here at home. Yes, sir,
10:36
Speaker 1: thank you so much. That's head coach Doug Peterson back
10:38
Speaker 1: with Moore. It's the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars
10:41
Speaker 1: Radio Network. We'll back. It's the Doug Peterson Show, presented
10:56
Speaker 1: by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
10:59
Speaker 1: JP shadow it quit, Jeff flagamin Our. Thanks to the
11:01
Speaker 1: head coach Doug Peterson for joining us as always on
11:06
Speaker 1: his program each and every week. Well, yeah, the now
11:10
Speaker 1: we can talk about him behind his back since he's gone,
11:12
Speaker 1: like we always do on this show. We always do. No,
11:15
Speaker 1: I'm kidding, it's a joke. Um so youthfulness, Yes, third
11:20
Speaker 1: youngest team in the league, he said, and managing that
11:24
Speaker 1: nervous energy and controlling the emotions of a team was
11:28
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting to hear him say that's
11:31
Speaker 1: what he learned about his team. I think sometimes when
11:33
Speaker 1: you when you're young and you come out and that
11:35
Speaker 1: your first game ever. And I was talking last week
11:39
Speaker 1: to a couple of different people and we talked about
11:42
Speaker 1: it ellenor the TV show last week with Josh Allen
11:45
Speaker 1: and Trayvon and I'll never forget, you know, first game ever.
11:48
Speaker 1: Walk out of a tunnel. As I'm walking out, there's
11:52
Speaker 1: number fifty six in uh New York Giants blue and Red,
11:58
Speaker 1: and that's Lawrence Taylor, And it's like, whoa swords Taylor? Man.
12:04
Speaker 1: So there's I think a newness to when you play
12:07
Speaker 1: your first NFL Pro game. The the the energy is
12:12
Speaker 1: so high. A lot of times you're you're so amped
12:16
Speaker 1: up that in an emotional and it has a tendency
12:20
Speaker 1: to take away from some of your your calmness, your
12:23
Speaker 1: better decision making, and then the energy to play in
12:27
Speaker 1: the game. And I thought that early in the ball game,
12:30
Speaker 1: some of the younger players looked like they were playing
12:33
Speaker 1: in a little slower gear than what I had seen
12:35
Speaker 1: them playing and so before. And I think part of
12:39
Speaker 1: that was duke to the fatigue from the emotional side
12:42
Speaker 1: of it. And so I think in game two, you'll
12:45
Speaker 1: you'll calm down a little bit, okay, and you get
12:47
Speaker 1: the coaches to to calm them down a little bit.
12:51
Speaker 1: And then the better prepared they are and the more
12:53
Speaker 1: that they realized that, hey, look, this is just like
12:55
Speaker 1: playing college football, but everybody's a little bit better, and
12:58
Speaker 1: that's just still a game of football that they have
13:00
Speaker 1: tendency to calm down. So I think they'll make a
13:02
Speaker 1: significant jump. You know, typically from game one to game
13:06
Speaker 1: two is when you see a lot of improvement. And
13:08
Speaker 1: with a young team, you should see a lot of
13:10
Speaker 1: improvement from game one to two just because of that
13:13
Speaker 1: that emotional drain that happens sometimes in week one, and
13:17
Speaker 1: then that leads to penalties and misques and things like that.
13:21
Speaker 1: And then at thirteen, penalties and miss some things in
13:24
Speaker 1: the red zone and you know, it's just first game jitters.
13:28
Speaker 1: Maybe some of that well, I mean, you call it
13:30
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, you know, unforced errors,
13:32
Speaker 1: mental errors, penalties on offense, formational things off sides on defense,
13:40
Speaker 1: bad decision making. You know, Smoot one time got his
13:43
Speaker 1: hands up high around the head and neck area of
13:45
Speaker 1: a quarterback and it was called and you know, you
13:47
Speaker 1: gotta realize that that's gonna get called all the time,
13:50
Speaker 1: so you just don't even get your hand up into
13:51
Speaker 1: that area and Trevor missing a couple open guys early
13:57
Speaker 1: on in the ball game, especially with with Travis E.
14:00
Speaker 1: T N and and that one. You'd like to see
14:04
Speaker 1: that one just you know, make it ten times out
14:06
Speaker 1: of ten. And then the ball to E t N
14:10
Speaker 1: on the fourth down play was a little bit a
14:12
Speaker 1: little bit high, like to have it bring bring it
14:15
Speaker 1: down a little bit, but he did have some there
14:17
Speaker 1: was an opponent and something in a way, so he's
14:20
Speaker 1: trying to get it, make sure it gets up and
14:22
Speaker 1: over Travis gotta make that catch, you know, So that
14:26
Speaker 1: one's on Travis quarterback MS is another one to to say,
14:30
Speaker 1: I believe it was. And uh, Trevor got an unblocked
14:35
Speaker 1: defender coming in and you know he throws it could
14:39
Speaker 1: have been a little bit better on throw, you know,
14:41
Speaker 1: maybe take a little longer and make sure you get
14:43
Speaker 1: it there. But I mean, those are the things that
14:45
Speaker 1: happen when you're just not you're just not dialed in yet.
14:48
Speaker 1: And and I think with this being a young team
14:51
Speaker 1: and his coaching staff, I think as good as it is,
14:53
Speaker 1: and I think this is an excellent staff that I
14:56
Speaker 1: think that they'll they'll they'll dial it in and they'll
14:58
Speaker 1: teach this football team and teach players and get them better.
15:01
Speaker 1: I really believe that that's. You know, after the game,
15:04
Speaker 1: I think a lot of times in years past, there
15:05
Speaker 1: would always be a little bit of like last year,
15:08
Speaker 1: you know, the the opening weekend loss in Houston that
15:14
Speaker 1: was a total mess, total mess. Team wasn't even in
15:18
Speaker 1: it right And then after that game JP, where was
15:22
Speaker 1: the hope that we had that Urban Meyer was going
15:25
Speaker 1: to get this thing turned around? Last year wasn't there
15:29
Speaker 1: whereas this year's definitely. I mean, then they did play
15:32
Speaker 1: well in Cincinnati, but you knew it wasn't gonna last.
15:37
Speaker 1: We're going on, You're like this, and then all hell
15:41
Speaker 1: broke loose after that game. It's just a total show.
15:44
Speaker 1: And it's there's supposed to be a word before show.
15:47
Speaker 1: We get it. And this year, with Doug and his
15:50
Speaker 1: coaching staff, and you just feel better about the direction.
15:55
Speaker 1: And and I understand that there's a lot of Jaguar
15:57
Speaker 1: fans are like, look, you know, we've been hearing this
15:59
Speaker 1: for a while, because you know the reality is this
16:01
Speaker 1: team in the last two years has lost more games
16:03
Speaker 1: than anybody. But I just feel confident that that Doug
16:07
Speaker 1: has and if you listen to him in the post game,
16:11
Speaker 1: right after the game, and then you listen to him
16:13
Speaker 1: turn around when he's had a chance to look at
16:15
Speaker 1: the film, and you listen to him on Monday, there's
16:18
Speaker 1: just a calmness and you know you're not gonna panic.
16:22
Speaker 1: He's not gonna overreact. He's not gonna, you know, get
16:27
Speaker 1: angry at a question or get angry at a player
16:31
Speaker 1: because of play wasn't made. No, there's a I think
16:35
Speaker 1: there's something to be said for having a calm, calming
16:39
Speaker 1: leadership in a situation where you're trying to change the
16:42
Speaker 1: culture and you're trying to develop something. And I think
16:45
Speaker 1: it's a really good fit for this organization having Doug
16:48
Speaker 1: in place. Let's come back and figure out how to
16:51
Speaker 1: stop Jonathan Taylor. We're gonna get an answer out of you.
16:55
Speaker 1: You know, here, here's what hair is the easiest way,
16:59
Speaker 1: you know, it's back a lot of guys at the
17:01
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage and make sure you get them before
17:04
Speaker 1: he gets started. That's ahead the Jaguars offense. We'll see
17:09
Speaker 1: what they can get done this week against the Colts defense.
17:12
Speaker 1: And a couple of guys on the injury report this
17:14
Speaker 1: is The Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio. Welcome back.
17:27
Speaker 1: The Doug Peterson Show continues right now. We're back j P.
17:31
Speaker 1: Shadrick with Jeff Logaman, the Colts and the Jaguars coming
17:34
Speaker 1: up Sunday the game presented by t I A A
17:37
Speaker 1: Bank and this show presented by the Florida Department of
17:40
Speaker 1: Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. The Doug Peterson Show head
17:44
Speaker 1: coach Doug Peterson Joinning is at the top every Thursday
17:48
Speaker 1: evening here on the Jaguars Radio Network. Well, Priority number
17:52
Speaker 1: one for the Jaguars defense this week is running back
17:55
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. He led the league in rushing attempts, rushing yards,
18:00
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns this season ago, and yards after contact. All
18:03
Speaker 1: of the above, and yes, lugs. The Jaguars had some
18:08
Speaker 1: tackling issues a week ago. They better button it up
18:10
Speaker 1: this week. Yeah. They If you look at p F,
18:13
Speaker 1: p F puts out grades Focus Pro Football Focus. They
18:18
Speaker 1: put out grades for nearly every metric that there is.
18:23
Speaker 1: There's one of them that's a kind of a broad
18:25
Speaker 1: category and it's tackling. Tackling Grade and it's all thirty
18:31
Speaker 1: two teams. You know, so you can you can look
18:33
Speaker 1: at what every every team is done from a tackling standpoint.
18:36
Speaker 1: The Jaguars were the fifth worst tackling team in the
18:39
Speaker 1: league this past game, and there was a lot of
18:42
Speaker 1: miss tackles and some of them were I mean, because
18:46
Speaker 1: there was great performance by the offensive player. I mean,
18:50
Speaker 1: Samuel was like, wow, a couple of times Darius Williams
18:54
Speaker 1: missrs A tackle, Tyson Campbell mrs A tackle, ray Sewn
18:59
Speaker 1: Jenkins just missed the top and look everybody, Devin Lloyd
19:02
Speaker 1: got his jock faked out on one play. I mean,
19:04
Speaker 1: it wasn't a great tackling performance. So that has to
19:08
Speaker 1: get better. And Jpu had asked me during a break
19:11
Speaker 1: when we were talking about it, well, is that a
19:13
Speaker 1: sign of teams coming out of the preseason where you're
19:15
Speaker 1: not tackling a lot? With the rules the way they are,
19:18
Speaker 1: you can't tackle a lot right and training can't. I
19:20
Speaker 1: get it, you know, I understand that, and but the
19:23
Speaker 1: reality is that there's other teams that I mean, there's
19:27
Speaker 1: not like thirty two teams were grouped near the bottom five,
19:31
Speaker 1: you know, because it was the first week of the season.
19:33
Speaker 1: I mean, other teams tackled pretty well in some cases,
19:36
Speaker 1: so that's not not not an excuse. Better angles, better awareness,
19:42
Speaker 1: um anticipation, all of those things go towards being a
19:45
Speaker 1: better tackling football team, and then just flat out execution
19:48
Speaker 1: and being physical. And this week you better be physical.
19:51
Speaker 1: I think the game plan from Mike Caldwell this week
19:54
Speaker 1: is going to have a ton of guys in the box,
19:57
Speaker 1: which a ton of guys in the box means you're
20:00
Speaker 1: gonna fortify the number of players that are up at
20:02
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage to outnumber the Colts blockers. So
20:06
Speaker 1: you'd like to be at the line of scrimmage, but
20:08
Speaker 1: you have one more defender than they have offensive blockers,
20:12
Speaker 1: so that you can always have somebody free. And I
20:15
Speaker 1: would be surprised if anybody goes into any game against
20:19
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor and the Colts if that's not the first
20:23
Speaker 1: thing they're trying to do is to stop Jonathan Taylor
20:25
Speaker 1: with a fortified box. Matt Ryan doesn't garner the respect
20:29
Speaker 1: that he once did to where teams are going, oh
20:32
Speaker 1: my gosh, we can't we can't stack the box. Matt
20:35
Speaker 1: Ryan's gonna He's gonna kill us deep. That's just not
20:38
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan anymore. I mean, he still got the ability
20:41
Speaker 1: to do that occasionally. But you're not going in scared
20:44
Speaker 1: of Matt Ryan. You're going in more scared of Jonathan
20:48
Speaker 1: Taylor than you are anything else. So you better stack
20:52
Speaker 1: the box and you better do a good job of
20:55
Speaker 1: of stopping it. And then at times you're not gonna
20:57
Speaker 1: just overload the box all the time. Time you have
21:00
Speaker 1: to pick and choose. And then when you're not overloading
21:03
Speaker 1: the box, you've gotta have good performance. You gotta have
21:05
Speaker 1: guys be guys. This Colts team, at least historically, is
21:10
Speaker 1: gonna run the ball if they're down two scores or
21:12
Speaker 1: if they're Last week, yeah, they were down and then
21:14
Speaker 1: they ran the ball thirty one times and the thirty
21:17
Speaker 1: one carries in and you were down until the fourth quarter?
21:21
Speaker 1: What was it like four three that the whole time?
21:25
Speaker 1: So I mean, give give the Colts credit for sticking
21:28
Speaker 1: with the run, But then again, when you got a
21:29
Speaker 1: great player like Jonathan tayl are you gonna stick with
21:31
Speaker 1: a run? And I think also part of that is
21:34
Speaker 1: is that they've got a quarterback who's pretty new to
21:37
Speaker 1: the system and they're not going Okay, Matt Ryan's been
21:41
Speaker 1: known to turn the ball over. Okay, look at the
21:42
Speaker 1: numbers of Matt Ryan. Have you seen the numbers of
21:44
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. His career numbers all right, for touchdowns interceptions
21:48
Speaker 1: three hundred This is crazy. Three hundred sixty eight touches
21:52
Speaker 1: at it for a long time and hundred seventy one interceptions.
21:56
Speaker 1: That's that's a good amount and also a pretty good number, right.
22:00
Speaker 1: I think the funny thing is I route this down.
22:03
Speaker 1: Trevor was eight years old when Matt Ryan was drafted
22:07
Speaker 1: third overall in two thousand and eight. Good, that's crazy, right,
22:15
Speaker 1: something eight years old, he wasn't even playing pee wee
22:19
Speaker 1: yet probably hious actually, oh man. Well, and then he
22:24
Speaker 1: just surpassed sixty thousand passing yards last week. He did
22:26
Speaker 1: in his career, the eighth person to ever do that
22:28
Speaker 1: in league history. Career completion percentage sixty five and a
22:33
Speaker 1: half percent, which is pretty good. So he's been a
22:37
Speaker 1: good player. I wouldn't call Matt Ryan a great player,
22:39
Speaker 1: but he's been a good player. And and you also
22:42
Speaker 1: have to remember Matt Ryan's undefeated against the Jaguars. He's
22:46
Speaker 1: never lost to the Jaguars. Matt Ryan's four and oh
22:50
Speaker 1: against this Jaguar football team. So even though you have
22:53
Speaker 1: that that number, okay, Colt seven one in Jacksonville since
22:59
Speaker 1: well and he got another the number on the other side,
23:01
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan has never lost to the Jaguars. It's a
23:04
Speaker 1: team game. Logs. What's gonna happen. He's on a new
23:07
Speaker 1: team now. Matt Ryan needs to poor. Would want to
23:10
Speaker 1: play the Jaguars and the Raiders every week. Be in
23:14
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. He's never lost either team. Let's
23:17
Speaker 1: come back plenty more ahead Jaguars offense, throw to score,
23:22
Speaker 1: run to win was a quote from the head coach
23:24
Speaker 1: this week. Okay, I would I would add block to
23:29
Speaker 1: win two and to score block in both, block to
23:33
Speaker 1: win and score. I would. I would add that too. Well,
23:37
Speaker 1: we'll get to the offensive line. Also, does that offensive
23:41
Speaker 1: line you jumping a conclusion? I am, and we will
23:45
Speaker 1: when we were turned. It's the Doug Peterson Show on
23:47
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back. The Dog Peterson Show
23:54
Speaker 1: continues right now. Welcome back Indeed j P. Shatrick with
23:58
Speaker 1: Jeff Flagman. The Jaguar is hosting the Colts in week
24:01
Speaker 1: two at t I A Bank. Feel hope to see
24:03
Speaker 1: out here. Looking forward to opening up the bank this season,
24:08
Speaker 1: another new era of Jags football. Doug Peterson at the
24:11
Speaker 1: help and this is the Doug Peterson Show, and the
24:14
Speaker 1: Jaguars are trying to get back off the mat after
24:16
Speaker 1: a tough loss in Washington in Week one. But there
24:19
Speaker 1: were moments. Did you see the weather. I haven't looked.
24:21
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at it right now. Let's take a
24:23
Speaker 1: look the you know Doppler logs over here. Well, it's
24:28
Speaker 1: gonna tell us all about what's gonna go on Sunday
24:31
Speaker 1: bursh okay, mostly sunny with a chance of showers and
24:35
Speaker 1: a slight chance of thunderstorms. Highes in the mid eighties.
24:38
Speaker 1: So from a temperature standpoint, that's not bad. Okay, fingers
24:41
Speaker 1: crossed that we don't get any uh, showers or thunderstorms.
24:46
Speaker 1: But you're you're just chinking it's gonna happen now since
24:49
Speaker 1: you said it, and that's how it works. Apparently earlier
24:51
Speaker 1: to that, you're like, oh, don't say that, because it'll happen.
24:54
Speaker 1: It's gonna be good now, all of a sudden will
24:56
Speaker 1: be you know, all this stuff is a good number.
24:59
Speaker 1: But I can tell you I'm about tired of the rain. Yeah,
25:03
Speaker 1: we've had a lot um unfortunately, though the Jaguars some
25:07
Speaker 1: a little water long training camp got through that without
25:10
Speaker 1: any weather issues that I'm practiced out here so far.
25:14
Speaker 1: The other thing that I'm looking forward to after they
25:17
Speaker 1: stopped practicing and training camp at Bishop Kenny, they have
25:23
Speaker 1: nest Episcopal. I mean, sorry Bishop Kenny, having a flashback.
25:28
Speaker 1: They are their rivals, thank you Bishop Kenny Episcople this
25:34
Speaker 1: year so ever since they left Episcopal, they've been practicing
25:38
Speaker 1: on the stadium field. So I'm just curious. I mean,
25:42
Speaker 1: how what kind of shape the field's in? Um, it's
25:47
Speaker 1: a new surface. I know, I don't knew what got
25:50
Speaker 1: put in How good is it? I mean, is it
25:52
Speaker 1: good to go? I mean, first of all, the groundscrew
25:54
Speaker 1: here is amazing, and when a new surface gets put
25:58
Speaker 1: in here, it's vastly different when Chicago gets a new
26:01
Speaker 1: surface and the dumps rain all over it, like so
26:06
Speaker 1: pretty unfortunate. But but I think it's gonna be great
26:09
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be fine. But you know, you're still
26:11
Speaker 1: kind of in your in your mind, you're thinking about
26:14
Speaker 1: that they put on the new surface after the final
26:17
Speaker 1: practice last week. So that's how new and fresh this is.
26:20
Speaker 1: They've practiced on it, and they're gonna do that a
26:23
Speaker 1: couple of different times throughout the course of practice on
26:25
Speaker 1: that Wednesday and Thursday, and you know, a lighter practice tomorrow,
26:29
Speaker 1: and then play on it Sunday and they still have
26:32
Speaker 1: the ability to be and then they're out of town
26:34
Speaker 1: the next two weeks. Two doors exactly. So there's plenty
26:37
Speaker 1: of regrowth time or whatever happens stuff. I don't know
26:41
Speaker 1: that grass grows right. I don't know how you're supposed
26:43
Speaker 1: to say that somewhere the grounds crew, groundskeeper guy, golf
26:48
Speaker 1: course guys going, what did JP just my phone is
26:52
Speaker 1: about to blow up from multiple groundskeepers over the past,
26:56
Speaker 1: and the grass grows back? Would you say? The growth
27:00
Speaker 1: growth growth of the sure? Hey? Um Jack's offense. Um,
27:08
Speaker 1: they they used two different running backs, different ways. They
27:13
Speaker 1: were throwing the ball around a little bit. Um. Christian
27:16
Speaker 1: Kirk had a big day, but Trevor Lawrence took a
27:19
Speaker 1: lot of contact. I think he was hit ten times
27:21
Speaker 1: in the game last week. Um. How you balance it
27:26
Speaker 1: out offensively and kind of keep this thing moving down
27:30
Speaker 1: the field. There were moments where they look really good.
27:32
Speaker 1: The moments they were just to take off. I gotta
27:34
Speaker 1: be better up front. And you have to give Washington
27:38
Speaker 1: credit because Jonathan Allen, Deron Payne, Montes Sweat are really
27:42
Speaker 1: good football players. I mean that's you can't you can't
27:47
Speaker 1: sit there and just ignore that. You can't say, well,
27:50
Speaker 1: the Jaguars played terrible upfront. Well, you know what, they're
27:52
Speaker 1: going against three really good players. And Montes Sweat probably
27:55
Speaker 1: surprised me more than than Jonathan Allen or John Payne,
28:01
Speaker 1: just because he's been a good player and I think
28:05
Speaker 1: he's averaged like seven sacks a year in his first
28:07
Speaker 1: three years. And then with Chase Young being out, they
28:10
Speaker 1: took Montest Sweat and they were actually flopping him on
28:13
Speaker 1: different sides. And I thought he was when he went
28:17
Speaker 1: over against Cam Robinson. He had an excellent day, excellent day.
28:21
Speaker 1: I thought Joan Taylor played well. Kudos to him. He
28:25
Speaker 1: was in a training camp battle and he played I think,
28:28
Speaker 1: winning football in Week one at Washington. I think the
28:32
Speaker 1: rest of them, they gotta get better. And I'd include
28:34
Speaker 1: Brandon Sheriff. I don't think that he played his best.
28:39
Speaker 1: He um um well. I think he was probably the
28:44
Speaker 1: next best if you looked at all the offensive lineman.
28:47
Speaker 1: But you expect more out of a a guy like
28:49
Speaker 1: Brandon Sheriff, and then Fortner really struggled. Ben Bart's really struggled,
28:55
Speaker 1: and then Cam, I thought, at times struggle in a
29:00
Speaker 1: big way against montest wedding key moments. And and that's
29:03
Speaker 1: the part probably that I think, why would grade Cam
29:08
Speaker 1: down below Sheriff just because at the critical moments when
29:11
Speaker 1: you need to have a block, you know, he just
29:12
Speaker 1: didn't do it. You know. A good example is late
29:15
Speaker 1: in the game, when Trevor gets flushed out of the pocket,
29:18
Speaker 1: Cam got beat on the inside move and then he's
29:21
Speaker 1: got a running back sitting outside to give him outside help.
29:23
Speaker 1: So when you've got outside help, you you protect your inside. Yeah,
29:28
Speaker 1: that's what Tony was saying on Monday night. You just
29:30
Speaker 1: that you just you're inside. Nothing gets inside of you. Yeah,
29:33
Speaker 1: you just you just you don't want to say short subset,
29:36
Speaker 1: but you're just very aware of where your help is
29:38
Speaker 1: or is not. And that's that was kind of a
29:40
Speaker 1: mental air pre snap mental error, and so they got
29:44
Speaker 1: to get better up front. I think it will help
29:46
Speaker 1: calm down a young quarterbacks world. And the reality is
29:49
Speaker 1: he's a young quarterback, and a young quarterback can struggle
29:52
Speaker 1: if things aren't calm, and things are not calm up front,
29:55
Speaker 1: so they've got to help him out. Let's come back
29:58
Speaker 1: and discuss the early red zone issues for the Jags
30:03
Speaker 1: and how maybe they can clean that up moving ahead too.
30:06
Speaker 1: You got it. This is the Doug Peterson Show on
30:09
Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio. Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.
30:23
Speaker 1: We're back JP Shatrick with Jeff flagging In, Joe Fortunato
30:27
Speaker 1: and the Birthday Boy Brent Reaverer. Glad you're with us
30:30
Speaker 1: on the Doug Peterson Show. David cho also on the
30:33
Speaker 1: video side Birthday Boy. So, um, hey, the red zone early,
30:39
Speaker 1: they the overthrow to E t N dropped by E
30:43
Speaker 1: t N on the on the next drive, they missed
30:45
Speaker 1: a third down play on that drive also in the
30:48
Speaker 1: end zone. What's a Jones? I believe, Yeah, that's that's correct. Um,
30:52
Speaker 1: so there were some opportunities down there in the red
30:55
Speaker 1: area they didn't take advantage of early, and um, you
31:00
Speaker 1: don't going forward? I like the aggressiveness. Why not that's
31:04
Speaker 1: gonna be Doug Peterson at times going forward on that
31:08
Speaker 1: fourth down play instead of taking the points. That's that's
31:10
Speaker 1: him that there's nothing wrong with that, but when you
31:14
Speaker 1: go for it, you gotta be able to execute those plays.
31:17
Speaker 1: So how do you improve that red zone consistency. Well,
31:19
Speaker 1: those two plays that you're talking about, the one to
31:21
Speaker 1: say and the one to e t N. I mean
31:24
Speaker 1: not the fourth down play, but the one that was
31:26
Speaker 1: on the first drive, that's just you gotta you gotta
31:29
Speaker 1: be accurate with the ball and you gotta clean pocket.
31:31
Speaker 1: You gotta be accurate with the ball. There were a
31:34
Speaker 1: couple other plays that were lost opportunities in the game.
31:37
Speaker 1: The Washington Commanders were being a little aggressive on the
31:42
Speaker 1: outside with Marvin Jones and they had a double move
31:46
Speaker 1: two different times with Marvin Jones and Marvin had him
31:50
Speaker 1: I'm talking beat okay, could be a touchdown possibly, if
31:54
Speaker 1: not a huge explosive play. First one, you you got
32:00
Speaker 1: a pressure, uh Cam Montes sweat. Montes Sweat grabs his
32:06
Speaker 1: right arm comes over the top of Trevor's shoulder and
32:08
Speaker 1: as Trevor is trying to follow through, the shoulder stopped.
32:14
Speaker 1: The arm continues, but the shoulder stops and then the
32:16
Speaker 1: ball flutters incomplete. I mean that that could be a touchdown? Sure, yeah,
32:21
Speaker 1: you haven't And and so because it was open, the
32:25
Speaker 1: coaches did the smart thing, Like five or six offensive
32:28
Speaker 1: plays later, they go right back to it. And and
32:32
Speaker 1: then but they flipped the side and go over to
32:34
Speaker 1: the left side this time, and three guys like literally,
32:40
Speaker 1: pah sack And if he's got a clean pocket, you
32:45
Speaker 1: got another one. So I mean, it's always a combination
32:49
Speaker 1: of things. It's never it's not all Trevor, Trevor, it's
32:52
Speaker 1: not all the offensive line. Travis c t n can
32:57
Speaker 1: be better in pass blocking. He got he got sucked
33:00
Speaker 1: a little bit when he was asked to be in
33:03
Speaker 1: the pocket and step up and make a block. You know,
33:05
Speaker 1: you gotta be a little bit more firm if you're
33:07
Speaker 1: running back. James Robinson did, okay, could have been a
33:10
Speaker 1: little bit more firm. So tight ends can be better,
33:14
Speaker 1: you know, Dan Arnold have an ingram, you know, given
33:16
Speaker 1: the opportunity. You know, Trevor can be better sometimes seeing
33:19
Speaker 1: the field on the fourth down opportunity he had, I
33:23
Speaker 1: think it was a fourth down opportunity we had to
33:24
Speaker 1: have an ingram. Or on a third down opportunity, it
33:27
Speaker 1: was I having ingram that was open in the middle.
33:28
Speaker 1: You know, find him. So tough day but a young
33:34
Speaker 1: team and a lot to learn from and you just
33:38
Speaker 1: you just want your quarterbacks world to calm down. And
33:43
Speaker 1: when I say that, I'm not putting it all on him.
33:46
Speaker 1: Calming him down can be a couple of different ways.
33:49
Speaker 1: One is that his world and in his mind and
33:52
Speaker 1: all of that needs to calm down. More confidency gains,
33:55
Speaker 1: the more assured he is, the better he fields, the
33:57
Speaker 1: better he'll play. And then a front, the performance up front,
34:01
Speaker 1: it's got a calm down. It needs to be better
34:05
Speaker 1: so that you you have a young quarterback and you
34:07
Speaker 1: understand as an offensive lineman, look, we need to be
34:10
Speaker 1: better so our young quarterback can be better. Because I
34:15
Speaker 1: can tell you this, if if you're protection up front
34:19
Speaker 1: is likeness week after week, you won't win many games. Yeah,
34:25
Speaker 1: he was hit ten times in the game. And we'll
34:28
Speaker 1: come back at a moment and pick some players to
34:29
Speaker 1: watch in this game. Well one from each side of
34:33
Speaker 1: the ball. You got it. Yeah, we're player. Are we
34:40
Speaker 1: talking group one or the other? You know what, however
34:43
Speaker 1: you want to do it, think about it. You got
34:45
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. It's The Peterson Show on the
34:48
Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome Back the Dog. Peterson Show continues
34:55
Speaker 1: right now, we're back. It's The Doug Peterson Show. Week two.
34:58
Speaker 1: The Jaguars and the Indianapolis Colts at T I A.
35:02
Speaker 1: Bank Field Jags at O N one the Colts at
35:07
Speaker 1: O O and one and tied for first place in
35:10
Speaker 1: the a f C South. Opportunity to be the first
35:12
Speaker 1: in the division to win. Yeah, I like that the
35:16
Speaker 1: a f C South is winless. It is. It's amazing, right,
35:21
Speaker 1: and it's gonna it's gonna mess up the division standings
35:24
Speaker 1: and all this the rest of the year unless there's
35:26
Speaker 1: more ties. But that's what it is. And hey, and
35:31
Speaker 1: like we said earlier, the Indie it's like five of
35:34
Speaker 1: their first seven games are in the division. They've got
35:36
Speaker 1: to make hey here pretty quickly to to stay in
35:39
Speaker 1: this division race at least in the division race. Um.
35:43
Speaker 1: And then the Jaguars just trying to get their first
35:46
Speaker 1: w in a while. So let's go for it. Well,
35:49
Speaker 1: because uh, this is about as good of a chance
35:53
Speaker 1: as any to get to get a win for the Jaguars.
35:56
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not trough coming up. It's tough. Well,
35:58
Speaker 1: it's just yeah, I mean, you play some good teams
36:00
Speaker 1: and you know, you're gonna be on the road a
36:02
Speaker 1: little bit. I mean that's still environment where you have struggled,
36:05
Speaker 1: struggled mightily. What is it now, eighteen road losses in
36:09
Speaker 1: a row. Um. Yeah. And then the West Coast notoriously
36:14
Speaker 1: has been bad. He's a tough place to play, especially
36:17
Speaker 1: after playing a good team on the West Coast. So
36:21
Speaker 1: let's um, let's hear from you about this game and
36:25
Speaker 1: pick some players to watch this Sunday. Um, one for
36:29
Speaker 1: each side of the ball, from each team. And I'm
36:31
Speaker 1: gonna stay in a position group whatever you want. And
36:33
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay away from some of the stars. Okay, well,
36:37
Speaker 1: like like Trevor Or Matt's kind of the idea. Jonathan,
36:41
Speaker 1: We're gonna dig deep. So I'll start when this is
36:45
Speaker 1: he's a star. Clinton Nelson Okay for the Colts offense,
36:50
Speaker 1: just because he's so good and and it's hard not
36:53
Speaker 1: to watch him just because he's that good of a
36:55
Speaker 1: football player and folkon, he's got to have a big game.
37:00
Speaker 1: If if you're facing Jonathan Taylor, your middle linebacker has
37:03
Speaker 1: to past to ball. I'm talking ball, be physical, be downhill,
37:10
Speaker 1: and uh be relentless, and he's gonna have to have
37:14
Speaker 1: that type of performance this week. Those guys in front
37:18
Speaker 1: of him also have to do pretty well to allow
37:20
Speaker 1: him that freedom of movement. So so there's your Colts
37:26
Speaker 1: offense Jaguars defense guys to watch. I like those two. Yes,
37:29
Speaker 1: that's those are good, two good choices considering the nature
37:32
Speaker 1: of this game. On the other side, I think in
37:36
Speaker 1: Gockway and Cam Robinson has a lot a lot to uh,
37:40
Speaker 1: a lot of attractiveness to it. Just because it's against
37:44
Speaker 1: two teammates or former teammates, it's going to be highly competitive.
37:49
Speaker 1: Yanique is a very good pass rusher, He's very good.
37:53
Speaker 1: Cam's coming off a game that he didn't have such
37:55
Speaker 1: a great performance against pass rushers. So this is gonna
37:59
Speaker 1: be a matchup to watch. So as far as the
38:01
Speaker 1: Colts go, in gock Way, the Forest Buckner's the no brainer.
38:05
Speaker 1: I'm like I said, I wasn't gonna pick a star
38:07
Speaker 1: if he's out. If he's out there, he's been on
38:08
Speaker 1: the injury report, not practicing this week. The then the
38:12
Speaker 1: next one might surprise some people, but I want to see. Look,
38:18
Speaker 1: Fortner played better than what he did this past game
38:22
Speaker 1: in Washington. What did he struggle with the most the speed,
38:26
Speaker 1: the strength, the I think it was a little bit
38:28
Speaker 1: of everything. I think I think it was the speed,
38:31
Speaker 1: it was the strength, it was the making the calls.
38:36
Speaker 1: I think it was a little bit of everything. And
38:40
Speaker 1: I felt really good about him coming out of the preseason.
38:43
Speaker 1: I still feel really good about him. But I think
38:46
Speaker 1: a player, I think a player like fort and right,
38:48
Speaker 1: I think we'll we'll calm him his world down. I
38:50
Speaker 1: think we'll have a better performance this week and I'm
38:53
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing that. As far as play out,
38:56
Speaker 1: I want to see him play well because I think
38:58
Speaker 1: he's capable of playing so much better than what he
39:01
Speaker 1: did in Washington, and of course the line mates that
39:06
Speaker 1: are around him, but I really want to see if
39:09
Speaker 1: he jumps his level of play, then that makes it
39:12
Speaker 1: a little bit easier for everybody else because the center
39:14
Speaker 1: is the guy that's making the calls, making the adjustments,
39:17
Speaker 1: and when he's confident and center a lot of time
39:20
Speaker 1: is blocking both sides, helping guys out. So they need
39:24
Speaker 1: him to to take a step up and game number
39:26
Speaker 1: two in his career, Doug Peterson was asked about that
39:30
Speaker 1: offensive line, and you know, I think Ben Bart's even
39:33
Speaker 1: you know, do you still believe in this. He's like, well, yeah,
39:36
Speaker 1: we we believe in Ben Barts, We believe in Fortner
39:38
Speaker 1: and the offensive line. This is the group and they're
39:41
Speaker 1: gonna improve and get better. And that's that's uh from
39:44
Speaker 1: the head coach believing in him. Let's go. You're gonna
39:47
Speaker 1: believe in him until you don't. Right, That's the way
39:51
Speaker 1: it is. Perform the way that he's got to perform.
39:53
Speaker 1: It's a it's a bottom line business. Cole Van Lanton
39:57
Speaker 1: is on this roster for reason. They felt good about
39:59
Speaker 1: him and off to where they traded a draft pick
40:01
Speaker 1: away to bring him in as a backup guard. And
40:04
Speaker 1: and I'm sure if if the performances not where it
40:08
Speaker 1: needs to be, then other players will get a look.
40:11
Speaker 1: That's kind of kind of how it works at this level. Hey,
40:15
Speaker 1: those are for nice players to watch. Thank you for that.
40:19
Speaker 1: I appreciate that you got Quentin Nelson and Foyer Loikin
40:23
Speaker 1: and then Unique and Guy Quit and Luke Fortner. I'm
40:25
Speaker 1: really anxious. I'm really anxious to see also because we
40:31
Speaker 1: didn't see a big impact in Week one at Washington
40:35
Speaker 1: with Jamal Agnew. He had the one punt return for
40:39
Speaker 1: like I think it was two yards and then he
40:41
Speaker 1: had a rush for six yards of reception for six
40:44
Speaker 1: yards on a little quick screen. And he's kind of
40:48
Speaker 1: been a little bit of the X factor. And I'm
40:50
Speaker 1: not talking about seeing him and this X factor role
40:53
Speaker 1: on offense. I want to see him take a punt
40:57
Speaker 1: or a kickoff return. Yeah, I want to see. I
41:01
Speaker 1: want to see the hold your breath kind of moment
41:05
Speaker 1: with Jamal Agnew as a returner. Flip the field somehow right,
41:09
Speaker 1: do something like something big. And obviously it was in
41:11
Speaker 1: this game in Indy last year where he had the
41:13
Speaker 1: long run, the handoff kind of thing. He went with
41:16
Speaker 1: sixty something yards for a touch plus was a great place.
41:21
Speaker 1: The other thing to watch is who the hell is
41:23
Speaker 1: gonna be kicking for Indie? Oh yeah, they they don't
41:26
Speaker 1: have anybody on their depth chat right now. They're both
41:28
Speaker 1: in the practice squad. So they cut blanket Ship Roderigo
41:31
Speaker 1: blanket Ship got cut after a game in which he
41:34
Speaker 1: missed a forty two yard or in overtime to win,
41:37
Speaker 1: and then he had two kickoffs out of bounds. We'll
41:40
Speaker 1: come back our final thoughts ahead of this week to
41:43
Speaker 1: matchup the Colts and the Jaguars. Coming up. This is
41:46
Speaker 1: the Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio. Welcome back. The
41:55
Speaker 1: Dog Peterson Show continues right now. Welcome back. Final moments
41:59
Speaker 1: of the Doug Peterson Show. J P. Shadrick with Jeff Logman.
42:04
Speaker 1: It's week two the Colts and the Jaguars coming up.
42:06
Speaker 1: One o'clock is the kickoff time, one oh two officially
42:10
Speaker 1: to the Leather and twelve o'clock noon start for countdown
42:14
Speaker 1: to kickoff on the Jaguars Radio Network. We'll hear from
42:17
Speaker 1: Josh Allen on that program. Um, I want him to
42:22
Speaker 1: play better this week too. We'll hear from Tom McCarthy,
42:25
Speaker 1: who has the call on CBS Sports play by play man. Uh,
42:28
Speaker 1: Tiki Barber the color analyst, U V A guy by
42:32
Speaker 1: the way, both of the Barber brothers right. Former former
42:36
Speaker 1: running back of the New York Giants football team, Tom
42:39
Speaker 1: Coughlan's head coach. Tom Coughlan changed the way he carried
42:42
Speaker 1: the ball so that he would stop fumbling. Good idea
42:46
Speaker 1: it was. It worked, Yeah, I mean Tiki was a
42:49
Speaker 1: fumber and then Tom got him to that high and
42:51
Speaker 1: tight where he's holding the ball up and it will
42:54
Speaker 1: look look kind of different, but it worked. Out it
42:57
Speaker 1: works form. So we'll hear from Tom coming up. Tom
43:00
Speaker 1: McCarthy CBS has the call uh Phillies television announcer as well.
43:04
Speaker 1: They're in the playoff, a wild card chase right now
43:07
Speaker 1: in the National League and he's a baseball guy. Yeah,
43:10
Speaker 1: all right, so that's coming up and you'll have full
43:13
Speaker 1: podcast of that Fred Taylor as always, you guys in
43:16
Speaker 1: the booth and we'll get you ready for kickoff. It's
43:18
Speaker 1: gonna be a fun game. Now, it's gonna be it's
43:20
Speaker 1: gonna be great. What it looks like, it's gonna be good, hopeful,
43:23
Speaker 1: good about it. The game. I think it's a I
43:25
Speaker 1: think it's an even matchup. I mean, look, I said
43:28
Speaker 1: this last week, and sometimes it's hard to feel good
43:30
Speaker 1: about a matchup when you got a football team that
43:32
Speaker 1: has lost more games than anybody in the last two years.
43:35
Speaker 1: But I like, we're doug in this coaching staff in
43:38
Speaker 1: the direction that they're heading, and this is a division game.
43:42
Speaker 1: This is against a team that the Jaguars have had.
43:45
Speaker 1: If you could look at around the rest of the
43:47
Speaker 1: league and the success they've had elsewhere, it has been
43:49
Speaker 1: very good. So against the Colts it's been as as
43:52
Speaker 1: good as you could expect. I mean so so yeah,
43:55
Speaker 1: I feel good about this matchup. I think that they're
43:57
Speaker 1: gonna just win, flat out and crush them. I wouldn't
43:59
Speaker 1: say that, but I think it's gonna be an even battle.
44:01
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's a good player, but Jonathan Taylor scares the
44:05
Speaker 1: but Jesus out of me. But but here's the thing.
44:08
Speaker 1: If Trevor plays like he did last year in the
44:11
Speaker 1: last game of the season, he was fantastic. He had
44:14
Speaker 1: like a hundred and eleven quarterback rating. He was well,
44:18
Speaker 1: I think the highest completion percentage maybe of any game
44:21
Speaker 1: that he had. He was making good decisions, he was
44:24
Speaker 1: playing fast. I mean, that's where this team needs to be,
44:27
Speaker 1: you know, better upfront and allow him to be able
44:29
Speaker 1: to be better back there. That game twisted up the
44:32
Speaker 1: Colts organization like a pretzel in the and it's still
44:36
Speaker 1: in their mind. At the main Carson Wentz persona non grata.
44:40
Speaker 1: Let's keep it on their mind. This Sunday, we'll talk
44:43
Speaker 1: to you, got it, Jeff Logman or thanks to our
44:45
Speaker 1: entire crew. I'm J. P. Shadrick and this is the
44:48
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
