0:12
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Doug Peterson Show, brought to you by
0:15
Speaker 1: the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. J
0:20
Speaker 1: Shadrick and former Jaguar Jeff Logoman discussed the latest Jaguars
0:24
Speaker 1: news with the head coach. That Doug Peterson Show starts
0:28
Speaker 1: right now and welcome in. It is Thursday in his
0:31
Speaker 1: week eight, It is the Doug Peterson Show. J P. Shadrick,
0:34
Speaker 1: Jeff Logoman and Jaguars head coach Doug Peterson about to
0:38
Speaker 1: hop on the plane and head over to jolly old
0:40
Speaker 1: England to face the Denver Broncos. Battle of two and
0:43
Speaker 1: five teams and a good chance to get on track,
0:46
Speaker 1: good chance to get away for a few days together
0:49
Speaker 1: as a team and trying to get this thing turned around. Yeah,
0:51
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. This is a great opportunity for us, um,
0:55
Speaker 1: you know, to get things on track. UM. And and
0:57
Speaker 1: we're and we're not that far off. That's the thing
1:00
Speaker 1: that is uh. I think encouraging for me is that
1:03
Speaker 1: we're not far off. And and our guys understand, they're
1:06
Speaker 1: they're disappointed, they're mad, which they should be, UM, because
1:11
Speaker 1: these last two weeks we feel like we've we've kind
1:13
Speaker 1: of given the games away. You know, it's it's not
1:16
Speaker 1: necessarily teams of beating us. We've kind of beaten ourselves
1:18
Speaker 1: from time to time. And and you know, it's all
1:21
Speaker 1: the things that we keep we keep talking about, and
1:24
Speaker 1: you know, we've we've got to do our part as
1:25
Speaker 1: coaches to make sure that they're well prepared. And then
1:27
Speaker 1: and then the players go play by the plays that
1:30
Speaker 1: you talk about about beating yourselves. This past game, you know,
1:33
Speaker 1: you fumbled the five yard line going in, you have
1:35
Speaker 1: a a personal file rough in the pass her Again,
1:38
Speaker 1: even though they don't get any points about that situation,
1:41
Speaker 1: it's still a momentum swinging play that goes the other
1:44
Speaker 1: direction exactly exactly right. And you know that on that
1:47
Speaker 1: play it wasn't it was an interception. It was a
1:48
Speaker 1: turnover and and you know, offensively, we get the ball
1:51
Speaker 1: up around the thirty yard line at that point, and
1:54
Speaker 1: and who knows what happens after that, you know, But
1:56
Speaker 1: you know, listen, these are these guys. They keep fighting
1:59
Speaker 1: to keep bad um, you know. And I'm the type
2:02
Speaker 1: of guy too that I I don't like to necessarily
2:05
Speaker 1: kind of harp on all the negative. I gotta stay
2:07
Speaker 1: positive with these guys and encourage them because you know
2:10
Speaker 1: they're busting their tails during the week in practice and
2:12
Speaker 1: then ultimately in the games messaging. I think it's critical
2:15
Speaker 1: from from a coaching staff when you're in the midst
2:17
Speaker 1: of a four game losing streak and one thing that
2:19
Speaker 1: can happen. I'm sure you're trying to protect. Again, sometimes
2:22
Speaker 1: guys try to do too much once you've had some
2:25
Speaker 1: lack of success. So how do you prevent that from happening?
2:28
Speaker 1: Guys trying to do too much? Well, I think you
2:30
Speaker 1: just got to continue to just make them aware of that,
2:33
Speaker 1: you know, in that point. And I think from a
2:34
Speaker 1: coaching staff too, you know, we can even scale back
2:38
Speaker 1: and and from a from a game plan, you know,
2:40
Speaker 1: perspective and just sort of you know, take things back
2:43
Speaker 1: to uh, you know, maybe training camp for the first
2:46
Speaker 1: part of the season that that where we had success
2:48
Speaker 1: and and just you know, allow these guys still to
2:51
Speaker 1: play free, to play fast, uh, you know, play play
2:55
Speaker 1: with you know, great, reckless, abandoned so to speak, physicality,
2:58
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. But at the same time
3:00
Speaker 1: understand that you know, we have got to eliminate some
3:03
Speaker 1: of these mistakes in order in order for us to
3:05
Speaker 1: win these games. Doug Peterson with us on The Doug
3:07
Speaker 1: Peterson Show. Let's get to the big news. Earlier in
3:10
Speaker 1: the week, James Robinson traded to the New York Jets.
3:14
Speaker 1: What went into it? And? Uh, take us through that move. Well,
3:18
Speaker 1: you know, first of all, Um, I just appreciate James.
3:21
Speaker 1: You know, I had a short time that I got
3:23
Speaker 1: to know him. You know, he was coming off that injury,
3:25
Speaker 1: and he battled all offseason to to get himself in
3:27
Speaker 1: position to help us, and and the way he worked
3:30
Speaker 1: during training camp, and you know, just a great kid.
3:32
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's a quiet the kind of the
3:35
Speaker 1: quiet kid. And UM got to know him just a
3:37
Speaker 1: little bit, and so you know, I'm excited for him
3:40
Speaker 1: number one. You know, obviously we know the Jet situation
3:43
Speaker 1: and they lost a couple of running backs there, at
3:45
Speaker 1: least one and that we know of, and so they
3:47
Speaker 1: needed they needed some help and and uh so he
3:49
Speaker 1: gets to go up there and be the guy, you know,
3:51
Speaker 1: and and uh it it it does you know, Um,
3:56
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it affects us, but we
3:57
Speaker 1: do lose a good player, number one. But at the
3:59
Speaker 1: same time, you know, I look at it like it's
4:02
Speaker 1: a it's a it's a win win because he gets
4:04
Speaker 1: a chance to go play, uh, do the things that
4:06
Speaker 1: he's very capable of doing. And then at the same time,
4:09
Speaker 1: you know, we get the resources and draft picks you
4:11
Speaker 1: know in the future. You've said in the past that
4:13
Speaker 1: you guys are at your best when both running backs
4:16
Speaker 1: are healthy. And now he's gone. How does that rotation
4:19
Speaker 1: work for you going forward with Jamichael Hasty and Snoop
4:22
Speaker 1: Connor in the backfield. Yeah, I think that's just it.
4:25
Speaker 1: You know, we we like where Jamichael's coming and how
4:27
Speaker 1: he's been producing and and been effective. And then and
4:30
Speaker 1: then you know, Snoop, you know, as as a guy
4:33
Speaker 1: we drafted, we liked in the draft, and and he's
4:35
Speaker 1: he's really proven in practice that you know, he's capable
4:39
Speaker 1: of of taking on a little bit more of that load.
4:41
Speaker 1: So you know, it's a great opportunity for him, it's
4:43
Speaker 1: a great opportunity for all those backs. And and you know,
4:46
Speaker 1: obviously we know what what Travis is capable of doing,
4:48
Speaker 1: and and we've got to keep him coming and keep
4:51
Speaker 1: him on, you know, at the forefront of everything that
4:54
Speaker 1: we do. But you know, it's still gonna be sort
4:56
Speaker 1: of a running back by committee. I don't think you
4:58
Speaker 1: can get through an NFL season with that out having
5:00
Speaker 1: to possibly three guys to do that, and so we're
5:03
Speaker 1: looking forward to working with those three you mentioned E
5:06
Speaker 1: t n. It does help when he's starting to really
5:08
Speaker 1: turn it on here in the middle part of this season.
5:11
Speaker 1: It is and and it's a credit to I think
5:12
Speaker 1: to the offensive line tight ends, the guys that are
5:14
Speaker 1: receivers have been blocking for him, and he's got such
5:17
Speaker 1: a great burst of speed once he hits a hole,
5:19
Speaker 1: and you know, it's just it is. It's a you
5:23
Speaker 1: never know when he's gonna break that long run. That's
5:25
Speaker 1: that's the that's the neat thing about it. And um,
5:28
Speaker 1: you know, and just love everything about it, love his
5:30
Speaker 1: work ethic and what he brings to UH to our offense.
5:33
Speaker 1: I want to talk about two plays in particular with Travis.
5:36
Speaker 1: One good play, one play that you probably like to
5:39
Speaker 1: have him see it differently, the forty nine yard or
5:41
Speaker 1: will start with the way that he set up the
5:44
Speaker 1: Cam Robinson block, which you had an unblocked defender, which
5:48
Speaker 1: I'm sure you weren't expecting in that situation. The way
5:50
Speaker 1: he set it up Campbell is able to get to
5:53
Speaker 1: that was an absolute thing of beauty. It was. And
5:56
Speaker 1: and you know, we talked about you know, setting defenders
5:59
Speaker 1: up our offensive lineman when they're in space. We talked
6:02
Speaker 1: about it on screens. We're talking about all our all
6:04
Speaker 1: our perimeter, you know, we call transportation type runs. And
6:07
Speaker 1: and he did a great job of dipping inside and
6:10
Speaker 1: really stopping the feet of both defenders. And then you
6:13
Speaker 1: know Cam was able to kind of you know, use
6:16
Speaker 1: his right hand I think, to kind of knock the
6:17
Speaker 1: first guy down and then and then work himself up
6:19
Speaker 1: to the second guy. And just you know, Cam such
6:22
Speaker 1: a tremendous athlete anyway, and and things like that really
6:25
Speaker 1: don't bother him. And uh, he did a nice job.
6:28
Speaker 1: But that that run to be able to set up
6:30
Speaker 1: that one particular block was a thing of beauty. And
6:34
Speaker 1: it's just it's an innate, you know, sort of um
6:37
Speaker 1: instinct that that Travis has, you know as a ball
6:41
Speaker 1: care Yeah, I first of all, also credit Cam Robinson
6:44
Speaker 1: gotten it out kind of thing to shoulder up a
6:46
Speaker 1: little bit in the game and continues on right to
6:48
Speaker 1: play that I'm sure that he'd like to have back
6:50
Speaker 1: much talked about fourth down play where you don't make
6:53
Speaker 1: the sneak, but the third down play before, which is
6:56
Speaker 1: a wildcat. Look if Travis follows Cambell that play, Uh,
7:01
Speaker 1: there's a lot of green you know sometimes Uh, you know, um,
7:07
Speaker 1: it's how guys learn, you know, it's really how guys learn.
7:09
Speaker 1: And and um, you know it is unfortunate because we've
7:12
Speaker 1: got stopped right there on that drive. But but he
7:15
Speaker 1: he'll learn from that. And and the next time we
7:17
Speaker 1: get an opportunity, you know, he's gonna make that play.
7:19
Speaker 1: And and you know it's it's something too that I
7:23
Speaker 1: keep talking to the offense about really to the entire
7:25
Speaker 1: football team is you know, they understand that what my
7:29
Speaker 1: mentality is in games, and and I'm gonna be, you know,
7:32
Speaker 1: as aggressive as I can and and and you know,
7:34
Speaker 1: I think it's a credit to our players that that,
7:37
Speaker 1: you know, how they played during the game really affects
7:40
Speaker 1: if we go for it on fourth down or not.
7:42
Speaker 1: And you know, yeah, sometimes sometimes we're gonna hit him
7:45
Speaker 1: and then sometimes we're not. But the ones we don't,
7:47
Speaker 1: they're they're great opportunities to learn from. Let's move it
7:50
Speaker 1: forward now to the Denver Broncos in the Jacksonville Jaguars
7:53
Speaker 1: at Wimbley Stadium this Sunday in London. The Denver defense,
7:57
Speaker 1: one of the highly rated groups in the NF, fell
8:00
Speaker 1: their second in total defense, first in yards per play,
8:03
Speaker 1: fift against the run, second against the past, and go
8:06
Speaker 1: on all day. I mean, third best scoring defense in
8:09
Speaker 1: the NFL. I'm sure it shows up on film also
8:12
Speaker 1: that those numbers just don't lie. Thanks for making me
8:15
Speaker 1: feel better. Uh, it is no Listen, these these guys
8:20
Speaker 1: are really good. They fly around, um, you know, and
8:24
Speaker 1: and it's it's again, it's a it's a unit that
8:27
Speaker 1: is very similar to the l A Chargers, very similar
8:30
Speaker 1: to the Philadelphia Eagles. It's that type of structure, that
8:34
Speaker 1: type of back end, you know, coverage unit. And so
8:38
Speaker 1: obviously we have experience going against you know, uh that
8:41
Speaker 1: already this season. Um, but yeah, these guys are there.
8:44
Speaker 1: They're stout and physical, they run well up front. You know,
8:47
Speaker 1: Chub is one of the better outside backer you know
8:50
Speaker 1: type guys. Browning is the guy they're gonna miss I
8:53
Speaker 1: think on the edge, and um, and he's playing player,
8:58
Speaker 1: he's a good player. And then you know certain hanging
9:00
Speaker 1: in the back end. I mean, he is a really
9:02
Speaker 1: really good young I know he was thinking I believe
9:04
Speaker 1: in the Tyson Campbell draft and you know, he's a
9:06
Speaker 1: really good corner and he's gonna be a great corner
9:08
Speaker 1: in this league for a long time. So they've got
9:11
Speaker 1: the pieces back there. On defense. It's gonna take uh,
9:15
Speaker 1: you know, great effort by our guys, all eleven guys
9:17
Speaker 1: on offense to uh, you know, attempt to move the
9:20
Speaker 1: football offensively. They're still trying to find their way, got
9:23
Speaker 1: injuries at quarterback. What do you expect them to be
9:28
Speaker 1: on offense? Because from your defensive perspective, almost saw a
9:32
Speaker 1: blended game plan that Dayble approached her defense with he
9:35
Speaker 1: took a little bit of the Philly you know game plan,
9:38
Speaker 1: the r P O stuff, and then the tempo from
9:40
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis loss. He kind of put them together for
9:42
Speaker 1: a game plan against your defense. He did. And and
9:45
Speaker 1: you know, we expect um going into it that that
9:48
Speaker 1: that Russell will play. You know, I mean, we gotta
9:50
Speaker 1: we gotta, you know, get ready for that. But um,
9:53
Speaker 1: you know, and we know how how mobile he is
9:55
Speaker 1: and he can beat you with his legs as well,
9:57
Speaker 1: and you know, you gotta be ready for that. You
9:59
Speaker 1: gotta be ready or some of that zone read and
10:01
Speaker 1: and um, you know, even if if you know, ripping
10:04
Speaker 1: and plays, I think there's some some athleticism there too
10:07
Speaker 1: that that they can they can take and use and
10:09
Speaker 1: and uh, you know we've got to learn from that.
10:11
Speaker 1: And and really you know on defense, you know, just
10:14
Speaker 1: focusing on our jobs and do do what we're asked
10:17
Speaker 1: to do and and and try to get these quarterbacks
10:19
Speaker 1: on the ground because you know they're they're getting more
10:22
Speaker 1: athletic at that position. Uh, teams are utilizing them more.
10:25
Speaker 1: You can see us on offense, we're using Trevor a
10:27
Speaker 1: little bit more with his legs and um, you know, again,
10:30
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be a it's gonna be an all
10:31
Speaker 1: out effort, final thought, whether you're going across to London, logistics,
10:36
Speaker 1: the practice, the facility, everything going on a little bit
10:39
Speaker 1: different this week obviously. How do you get the team
10:42
Speaker 1: ready for a trip like this. You've you've done this
10:44
Speaker 1: trip before back in the uh not to say the
10:47
Speaker 1: old days were back, turning back the clock a little bit. Yeah,
10:50
Speaker 1: you know, and I tell you what, We've We've got
10:51
Speaker 1: a crew of a team of people here in Jacksonville
10:54
Speaker 1: with the organization that Listen, this is not Jacksonville's first
10:57
Speaker 1: time over there either, so they've they've really got this
10:59
Speaker 1: thing down to a to an art, you know, and
11:02
Speaker 1: really down to the minute as far as when we
11:04
Speaker 1: take off, when we land and and all of that.
11:06
Speaker 1: And so it's it's pretty seamless for us. You know,
11:08
Speaker 1: we're gonna get the bulk of our work done here
11:10
Speaker 1: uh in Jacksonville, which we've done and on Wednesday and
11:13
Speaker 1: obviously today Thursday and getting it uh getting it gone,
11:16
Speaker 1: and then we get on the plane tonight and go
11:18
Speaker 1: over and land Friday morning. We keep Friday rolling right

11:28
Speaker 1: Friday after practice, you know, and just some of the
11:30
Speaker 1: guys haven't been over there before, and you know, just
11:32
Speaker 1: just relax and unwind. It's a Friday can be a long,
11:36
Speaker 1: hard day from the time change and all that, but
11:39
Speaker 1: you know, it's just, um, are we have a we
11:40
Speaker 1: have a great group of people that have put a
11:42
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of hard work in and and

11:52
Speaker 1: you know, visitor guy j P here is big over there.

Speaker 1: He's like, uh, pub Guide, pub Guide, Central pub guy.
12:02
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, there you go. I can't
12:04
Speaker 1: confirm nor deny that. Uh. We'll see you on the plane, coach,
12:08
Speaker 1: and we'll talk to you after a win in London.
12:10
Speaker 1: How about perfect coach Doug Peterson with us. This is
12:14
Speaker 1: the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back.
12:28
Speaker 1: The Doug Peterson Show continues right now. J P. Shadrick,
12:33
Speaker 1: Jeff Logaman our thanks to head coach Doug Peterson jumping
12:36
Speaker 1: in as we get ready to hop on the plane
12:38
Speaker 1: to London. The Jaguars and the Broncos coming up at
12:41
Speaker 1: Wimbley Stadium this Sunday at the nine thirty a m.
12:44
Speaker 1: Eastern time kick off. Glad you're with us on the
12:47
Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio Network today and on Jaguars Twitter, Facebook and
12:51
Speaker 1: YouTube at Jaguars dot com. Well, it's a four game
12:54
Speaker 1: losing skid. It's uh, you know, there's obviously going to
12:58
Speaker 1: be some frustration and around that and the way they've
13:01
Speaker 1: played and had these mistakes and self inflicted penalties and
13:05
Speaker 1: things going on. But you just gotta keep grinding and
13:08
Speaker 1: keep moving there right there on the verge of some
13:10
Speaker 1: of these winds. You just gotta keep keep fighting the
13:14
Speaker 1: fight well, and I appreciate what Doug is. The one
13:17
Speaker 1: thing about him is that he's incredibly consistent, you know,
13:20
Speaker 1: when we've had the opportunity to see that consistency throughout
13:24
Speaker 1: training camp and also throughout the regular season. And I
13:27
Speaker 1: think if you're a coach, if you change the way
13:29
Speaker 1: you are, then the players kind of wonder way about
13:32
Speaker 1: what's going on. And so I don't expect Doug to
13:34
Speaker 1: handle it any different, but you still have to be
13:37
Speaker 1: able to to teach and to keep reinforcing the message,
13:40
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to those self inflicted wounds, because
13:45
Speaker 1: they continued again and at some point you've got to
13:47
Speaker 1: stop them if you're gonna expect to win. His reaction
13:51
Speaker 1: when I kept reading off the Broncos defensive statistics was telling,
13:56
Speaker 1: let let me bring this up, because as soon as
13:58
Speaker 1: he walked into the studio. But I mean literally we
14:02
Speaker 1: didn't say a word, and he's like, you guys seen
14:06
Speaker 1: their defense. Oh my god, the Broncos defense. And he
14:09
Speaker 1: was talking about their defense before we even asked the question. Yeah,
14:14
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how impressed he is with this Broncos defense.
14:17
Speaker 1: And and he said that, uh, arguably one of the
14:21
Speaker 1: the best that they'll face this year. And that's high
14:24
Speaker 1: compliment now, because Philly's got a really good defense now
14:28
Speaker 1: and they've been playing pretty good. But he knows it,
14:30
Speaker 1: you know, right in the midst of the preparation. You
14:33
Speaker 1: turn on the film and they've got a really good,
14:36
Speaker 1: talented back in with guys up front that can play,
14:39
Speaker 1: and it's a it's a defense that's been keeping the
14:42
Speaker 1: Broncos in game while their offense has been a little
14:45
Speaker 1: off to say the least. And let's touch on that.
14:48
Speaker 1: That's a big question going into the week at least,
14:50
Speaker 1: is Russell Wilson going to be ready to go this
14:53
Speaker 1: week or is it Brett Rippon for a second week
14:55
Speaker 1: in a row. They've got to prepare for us. Well,
14:57
Speaker 1: here here's what I think. And this is not any
15:00
Speaker 1: reflection of what Doug said to us or anything. This
15:03
Speaker 1: is an international game, Okay, international game with an international spotlight,
15:09
Speaker 1: with a quarterback who likes the spotlight, and Russell Wilson,
15:14
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be a he will find a
15:18
Speaker 1: way to play in this ball game. I will say
15:21
Speaker 1: this though, about at least historically, the pitch at Wembley
15:25
Speaker 1: can be a bit slippery. The footing can go a
15:28
Speaker 1: little bit on the pitch. Pitch the field is what
15:31
Speaker 1: they call it. Uh? What why? Why? Why did you
15:34
Speaker 1: use that term the pitch because that's what they call
15:36
Speaker 1: soccer fields. I didn't know that. You didn't know that, No,
15:39
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. That's why I was asking for
15:42
Speaker 1: clari as a pitch as a crown, that's what. Okay, yeah,
15:45
Speaker 1: either way, but it can be a bit slippery. So
15:48
Speaker 1: for a quarterback who likes to run around with a
15:51
Speaker 1: hamstring hammy, Uh is that the best commendation? I don't know.
15:55
Speaker 1: The one thing I do like about this week, and
15:59
Speaker 1: having done it many different ways and have having felt
16:03
Speaker 1: the vibe that comes from doing it different ways, I
16:07
Speaker 1: like the concept of traveling on a Thursday today versus
16:13
Speaker 1: traveling earlier in the week. I'm gonna say that again.
16:16
Speaker 1: Sometimes when a team travels early, they think it's a vacation,
16:21
Speaker 1: which in fact it's a business trip. Now, Doug said,
16:24
Speaker 1: you know, guys are gonna have you know, a night
16:26
Speaker 1: one free to night, a free time and and obviously
16:28
Speaker 1: need to be responsible when you have that that free time.
16:31
Speaker 1: But it's not an entire week of Hey, you know what,
16:34
Speaker 1: Let's go down and see Abbey Road and all these
16:37
Speaker 1: other cool places. I mean, I mentioned Abbey Road because
16:40
Speaker 1: that's near and dear it are producer's heart. Mr Joe Fortunado,
16:45
Speaker 1: he loves visiting Abbey Road. Correct, So there's a lot
16:47
Speaker 1: to I get done. But then at the end of
16:49
Speaker 1: the day, there is a football We've seen this in
16:51
Speaker 1: the past over there kind of rear its ugly head
16:54
Speaker 1: the weekend events and things that happened, Um yes in
16:58
Speaker 1: the past. So let's keep that on the on the
17:00
Speaker 1: downs knocking on with their JP. We don't need anything
17:03
Speaker 1: like we've seen in the past. No, it has not
17:05
Speaker 1: been uh particularly good over the years as a whole.
17:09
Speaker 1: So all right, two and five teams going at it,
17:12
Speaker 1: both teams on four game losing skids. Uh. The offense
17:15
Speaker 1: and Denver hasn't done much of anything. Defense certainly has
17:18
Speaker 1: The Jaguars on offense are moving it, but just certain
17:21
Speaker 1: situations can't have some fits and starts in the red
17:25
Speaker 1: zone and then the short yardage and things. It's just
17:28
Speaker 1: kind of they gotta figure out a way. Well, and
17:30
Speaker 1: we had a little conversation there after we were wrapping
17:33
Speaker 1: up with Doug and and I told him this that
17:36
Speaker 1: I love watching the design of some of the offensive plays.
17:40
Speaker 1: I mean some of the things that they're they're doing
17:43
Speaker 1: because it's Doug, it's Press Taylor, it's the offensive line coach,
17:48
Speaker 1: it's Mike McCoy, it's Jim Bob Cooter, the passing game coordinator.
17:52
Speaker 1: I mean, all of these guys are contributing to a
17:55
Speaker 1: game plan that there's plays that are are being made,
18:00
Speaker 1: but there's also plays that need to be made for
18:04
Speaker 1: this team to be able to take that next step.
18:07
Speaker 1: But it's so fun to watch because they are doing
18:10
Speaker 1: such a great job of game planning. As an offense,
18:14
Speaker 1: Wait until they hit their stride. I mean seriously, wait
18:18
Speaker 1: until they hit their stride, Wait until they fully understand
18:21
Speaker 1: what they can be if they will make all the
18:25
Speaker 1: plays that are there. And then defensively, this football team,
18:30
Speaker 1: even though the Broncos are not a monster offensive team.
18:34
Speaker 1: The defense has had some issues over the last couple
18:37
Speaker 1: of weeks. They need to get him rectified because I
18:40
Speaker 1: can guarantee one thing. Denver is gonna utilize some of
18:44
Speaker 1: the same plays that the Jaguars have struggled with over
18:48
Speaker 1: the last couple of games. And it's a Nate Hackett
18:50
Speaker 1: revenge game too. I wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say that.
18:56
Speaker 1: You know, Nathaniel Hackett the last time he was here,
18:59
Speaker 1: he was fired by Doug Morron. That's what I'm saying. Yeah,
19:02
Speaker 1: but it when fired by the Jaguars, fired by Doug Marron,
19:06
Speaker 1: the cat head will incite some things inside of him
19:08
Speaker 1: or something. I don't know. Maybe, Look, I can tell
19:10
Speaker 1: I can tell you this, Nathaniel Hackett has got a
19:13
Speaker 1: lot more to worry about the way things are going
19:17
Speaker 1: in Denver because the scrutiny that is happening with him,
19:21
Speaker 1: it's pretty pretty intense. We'll take a time out, We'll
19:24
Speaker 1: get into that Jaguars offense matchup this week against a
19:28
Speaker 1: really highly rated Denver Broncos defense and see how the
19:33
Speaker 1: quarterback can progress moving ahead. It's the Doug Peterson Show
19:37
Speaker 1: on Jaguars Radio. Welcome back the Doug Peterson Show continues
19:49
Speaker 1: right now. Welcome back to Doug Peterson Show, presented by
19:52
Speaker 1: the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. JP
19:55
Speaker 1: Shadrick with Jeff Logerman are thanks to the head coach,
19:59
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson wanting us in the first segment each and
20:01
Speaker 1: every week. The Jaguars and the Broncos coming up at
20:05
Speaker 1: Wimbley this Sunday. It's a nine thirty a m. Eastern
20:09
Speaker 1: time kickoff. We'll go on there on the network at
20:12
Speaker 1: eight thirty with countown Day kickoff and gets you ready
20:14
Speaker 1: for that game. And it's a battle of two and
20:17
Speaker 1: five teams. It's the Jaguars offense that is moving the
20:20
Speaker 1: football fairly well. Between the twenties flogs. They can they
20:24
Speaker 1: can move the ball, but the red zone has left
20:28
Speaker 1: a lot to be desired. They've had some key situational
20:31
Speaker 1: things that haven't gone right for them this year. I mean,
20:34
Speaker 1: as a whole, the the Jaguars on offense the middle
20:37
Speaker 1: of the pack in the league. Um, they're running the
20:40
Speaker 1: ball yards per carries pretty high, but you just gotta
20:43
Speaker 1: in those key moments, make throws and hit a guy
20:46
Speaker 1: and stride or you know, they just haven't. It's not
20:49
Speaker 1: clean all the way through yet. Well, well, I would
20:53
Speaker 1: say they're not hitting on all cylinders yet. Consistency. You
20:56
Speaker 1: want to have a little bit more consistency week to week.
20:59
Speaker 1: You know. The Texans game obviously was one of those
21:02
Speaker 1: blips that's really far down on the radar and uh,
21:06
Speaker 1: but impressive to me. I mean, four hundred and fifty
21:10
Speaker 1: some odd yards of all offense. Your third down percentage
21:13
Speaker 1: was high. Once again. The red zone, though, is something
21:16
Speaker 1: that you want to be better at. You know, they
21:18
Speaker 1: have three commandments on offense. Have you do you can
21:21
Speaker 1: you rattle them off? JP uh quiz here? Okay, here's
21:26
Speaker 1: the three offensive commandments that Doug Peterson has and Press
21:29
Speaker 1: Taylor has Number one, protect the football. Okay, they didn't
21:33
Speaker 1: do a perfect job of that against the Giants because
21:36
Speaker 1: they fumbled at the five yard line going in Travis E.
21:39
Speaker 1: T n did. So that's one area you didn't do
21:41
Speaker 1: a great job. And create explosives. You actually did a
21:45
Speaker 1: pretty good job with explosive plays, especially especially against a
21:50
Speaker 1: challenging defense. But with a challenging defense typically comes opportunities. Week.
21:54
Speaker 1: Martindale's defense plays a lot of man it gives you
21:57
Speaker 1: a lot of opportunities for a big plays. The Jaguar
22:00
Speaker 1: were able to make some, you'd like to see a
22:02
Speaker 1: little bit more than what they had. The last one,
22:05
Speaker 1: which is great situational offense. Situational offense means fourth down success,
22:11
Speaker 1: red zone offense, tight red area, all of those things
22:15
Speaker 1: that kind of make the difference. Good two minute drill,
22:18
Speaker 1: all of those things make a big difference in offensive success.
22:21
Speaker 1: And I would say that if you looked at the
22:23
Speaker 1: categories you had the explosive, you didn't protect the ball perfectly.
22:28
Speaker 1: You always have a little leeway with that category protecting
22:31
Speaker 1: the ball if the defense is taking the ball away well,
22:34
Speaker 1: but the defense has hit a dry spell at taking
22:37
Speaker 1: the ball away. And then that last category, great situational offense.
22:41
Speaker 1: That's an area that they didn't excel at this past game.
22:44
Speaker 1: Jaguars overall and third down this year eleven in the
22:48
Speaker 1: league and then seven of seventeen on fourth that's been
22:52
Speaker 1: a topic throughout the week of the fourth down calls.
22:55
Speaker 1: It it's Doug Peterson that goes back to the season
22:58
Speaker 1: with the Eagles. That was when it really kind of
23:00
Speaker 1: came into the limelight that he was going to be
23:02
Speaker 1: aggressive in these fourth and short situations, and most notably,
23:05
Speaker 1: of course, on the Philly Special in the Super Bowl.
23:08
Speaker 1: But uh, that's kind of carried over and a lot
23:10
Speaker 1: of other offensive play colors are being a little more
23:14
Speaker 1: aggressive around the league, not just here in Jacksonville. That's
23:17
Speaker 1: more of a trend league wide now. It is, and
23:20
Speaker 1: analytics is a big part of all of sports now,
23:23
Speaker 1: and that one of the reasons why I asked Doug
23:25
Speaker 1: the question. When I brought up Travis et N. I
23:27
Speaker 1: brought up a good play the long run where he
23:29
Speaker 1: set up Cam Robinson's block beautifully. I mean, that was
23:33
Speaker 1: that was big time material play right there by Travis
23:36
Speaker 1: E t N. And then I brought up, you know,
23:39
Speaker 1: a play that wasn't so good that it is a
23:41
Speaker 1: great opportunity for Travis to learn from, which was the
23:44
Speaker 1: third and one, which was before the fourth and one
23:47
Speaker 1: that's so talked about, and that's where Travis, if he
23:50
Speaker 1: just follows Cam Robinson on the outside, it could have
23:53
Speaker 1: been possibly a score. It's not a very big play,
23:57
Speaker 1: and he wouldn't even having a conversation about what do
24:00
Speaker 1: you do on fourth down? Do you go ahead and
24:03
Speaker 1: take the points and kick a field or do you
24:05
Speaker 1: run a different play instead of the quarterback sneak. The
24:08
Speaker 1: other thing I will add on that fourth and one
24:10
Speaker 1: play that they tried to run a quarterback sneak. A
24:14
Speaker 1: time out there probably wouldn't have been a bad idea
24:17
Speaker 1: because when you came up to the line of scrimmage
24:19
Speaker 1: the many other times that you ran the quarterback sneak,
24:23
Speaker 1: the Giants left one of the A gaps open, so
24:27
Speaker 1: Trevor could squeeze into that unmanned gap. It was man,
24:31
Speaker 1: but it was a linebacker that was behind all for
24:33
Speaker 1: the step. Well, when he goes to the line of
24:36
Speaker 1: scrimmage on that particular fourth and one, the Giants had
24:40
Speaker 1: changed their defense from the way they treated the short
24:44
Speaker 1: yardage ones from before. They had a man in every
24:47
Speaker 1: A gap, B gaps and sea gaps. So right there, okay, Trevor,
24:53
Speaker 1: look at that and go time out. Okay, and come
24:56
Speaker 1: to the sideline and say, hey, look it wasn't a
25:00
Speaker 1: would look we've got a backup right Garden and cole
25:03
Speaker 1: Van Atlantica Sheriff was off the field for a short
25:05
Speaker 1: period of time for some reason. I'm not sure if
25:08
Speaker 1: it was injury or equipment related. I think it was
25:10
Speaker 1: injury because he went in the blue tent for a
25:12
Speaker 1: little bit. So then maybe reassess where you're at. We'll
25:15
Speaker 1: take a time out. Jaguars defense trying to get back
25:18
Speaker 1: off the mat after giving it up in the fourth
25:20
Speaker 1: quarter last week on the ground especially and facing this
25:25
Speaker 1: Denver offense that can't get out of its own way
25:29
Speaker 1: so far. This year's The Doug Peterson Show on the
25:31
Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues
25:43
Speaker 1: right now. J P. Shatrick with Jeff Logman. Thanks for
25:46
Speaker 1: joining us on The Doug Peterson Show. The Jaguars head
25:49
Speaker 1: coach of the first segment of the show each week
25:51
Speaker 1: we heard from him. The Jaguars headed to London, coming
25:55
Speaker 1: up well Tonight'll be on the plane and arrived Friday
26:00
Speaker 1: day morning in the UK. They will stay out in
26:02
Speaker 1: the countryside at a resort. They'll have a practice field
26:06
Speaker 1: and then they'll head down to Wimbley on Sunday and
26:08
Speaker 1: play the football game against the Broncos. And tomorrow is
26:12
Speaker 1: always a challenge Friday players because you're you're trying to
26:16
Speaker 1: get a night's sleep on a plane and then when
26:18
Speaker 1: you hit the ground in London. You have a commute
26:22
Speaker 1: from the airport to the facility where you're gonna be
26:25
Speaker 1: staying at and it's typically during rush hour, which can
26:28
Speaker 1: be uh long. No police escorts. There are no police
26:33
Speaker 1: escorts over there, and uh and then also, uh, you
26:37
Speaker 1: kind of jump right into the day of work. If
26:40
Speaker 1: you're a player, you've got meetings, you've got practice, and
26:43
Speaker 1: then you'll get some time to yourself that night. But uh, yeah,
26:46
Speaker 1: it's uh, there's you don't feel fresh and spread at
26:50
Speaker 1: least I never have on a Friday, And if I haven't,
26:52
Speaker 1: I guarantee the players Evan as well. Jaguars defense gave
26:56
Speaker 1: up all the rushing yards they could in the fourth
26:59
Speaker 1: quarter out like when s Kwan got going and then
27:02
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones was ripping off runs. And of course two
27:06
Speaker 1: weeks ago it was the short passing game of Matt Ryan,
27:09
Speaker 1: who has since been benched in Indianapolis. Well, he had
27:13
Speaker 1: a career high completions, a bunch of crossing routes. So
27:16
Speaker 1: you know, one week it's one thing, the next week
27:19
Speaker 1: it's the run defense, and you know they're trying to
27:22
Speaker 1: figure it out on all sides right now. On the
27:24
Speaker 1: defensive side, well, and you know how I do JP.
27:27
Speaker 1: I take notes during the game, and and you had
27:29
Speaker 1: the lead at the beginning of the second half. You
27:32
Speaker 1: took the lead seventeen the thirteen, and you go back
27:35
Speaker 1: to where the offense gave the ball over on downs
27:39
Speaker 1: and talk about change of momentum. Okay. So then the
27:42
Speaker 1: Giants take over the ball at the one and on
27:46
Speaker 1: that drive, the Giants are able to put together some
27:49
Speaker 1: successful rushing place. It's both with Barkley and the quarterback
27:54
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. He had an opportunity on that drive, okay.
27:58
Speaker 1: Ray Shawn Jenkins has an opportunity when he has the
28:01
Speaker 1: past defense. If he gets a little better jump, that's
28:05
Speaker 1: an interception. You know, that's an opportunity lost there. Defensively,
28:10
Speaker 1: you end up allowing a ten play seventy nine yard drive.
28:14
Speaker 1: And also, if you'll remember another mistake on that drive,
28:17
Speaker 1: because I think that's a mistake with Racial not making
28:19
Speaker 1: an interception. If you expect your players to make big plays, right,
28:24
Speaker 1: Racian and make that play. Tyson Campbell covering in the
28:27
Speaker 1: end zone gets called for interference, gives the Giants the
28:30
Speaker 1: ball first and goal at the one yard line, and
28:32
Speaker 1: then the Giants take it in and then you have
28:35
Speaker 1: an opportunity to answer that offensively. You have a false
28:39
Speaker 1: start at the beginning part of that drive. You allow
28:42
Speaker 1: pressure on the first and fifteen, and you had an
28:45
Speaker 1: open wide receiver down the field and Christian Kirk or
28:48
Speaker 1: the pressure affects the quarterback. You go three and punt
28:51
Speaker 1: and then you give the ball back and then once
28:53
Speaker 1: again it's Barkley and it's Daniel Jones on the ground
28:56
Speaker 1: and they run a four minute drill to the tee.
29:00
Speaker 1: The Giants did, eating up the clock and putting some
29:04
Speaker 1: extra points on the board and making it tough against
29:06
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, and that kind of was was the game there,
29:09
Speaker 1: because the Jaguars weren't able to answer, although I gave
29:12
Speaker 1: him credit, they fought back at the end, you know.
29:15
Speaker 1: But more moral victories in the NFL are not exactly
29:19
Speaker 1: what you're striving for. You're looking for victories, the ones
29:21
Speaker 1: that go in the W column. We'll take your time out,
29:25
Speaker 1: we'll come back and get into the Jaguars trade. Earlier
29:29
Speaker 1: this week, we heard a little bit from head coach
29:31
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson. Earlier James Robinson now a member of the
29:34
Speaker 1: New York Jets, and this is the Doug Peterson Show
29:37
Speaker 1: on Jaguars Radio. Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues
29:50
Speaker 1: right now. We're back. It is the Doug Peterson Show.
29:53
Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick, Jeff Lockman. I thanks to head coach
29:56
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson's winning us in the first hour our first
29:59
Speaker 1: step for segment of the hour long Doug Peterson Show.
30:03
Speaker 1: Glad you've joined us today. That Jaguars headed to London tonight.
30:07
Speaker 1: They'll arrive Friday morning in the UK and play on
30:11
Speaker 1: Sunday at Wembley Stadium, a place they know very well
30:14
Speaker 1: from over the year's last visit to Wembley though for
30:16
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, of course before the pandemic started twenty nineteen,
30:20
Speaker 1: a loss to the Texans in that game, and then
30:22
Speaker 1: of course no London games at all. Forget about that one.
30:28
Speaker 1: They fulfilled help fulfill the NFL's obligation at Tottenham Hotspur
30:32
Speaker 1: Stadium and played a game there against the Dolphins and
30:35
Speaker 1: one on two wacky field goals last year. Yeah the
30:38
Speaker 1: uh and I heard that the stadium the Tottenham Stadium, Tottenham, Tottenham, Tottenham, Yes,
30:45
Speaker 1: not Tottenham. You can take the boy out of Virginia,
30:48
Speaker 1: but you can't take the Virginia out of the boy.
30:51
Speaker 1: Oh but anyway, I heard that that stadium is amazing
30:55
Speaker 1: and uh, at some point I would like to see it.
30:58
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll go see a football game there at that's
31:03
Speaker 1: would be soccer game, Yes, that's what that is. By
31:06
Speaker 1: the way, Um, I want to wish nothing but the
31:09
Speaker 1: best to James Robinson. I know Doug Peterson did the
31:12
Speaker 1: same thing. He's a good dude, and he incredibly quiet
31:19
Speaker 1: and but a good guy works hard, kept his mouth
31:23
Speaker 1: quiet and just worked hard. And I appreciate James Robinson.
31:27
Speaker 1: I wish him nothing but the best. And unfortunately, at
31:30
Speaker 1: the end of the day, you know, this is a
31:32
Speaker 1: business and decisions are made to where teams and sometimes
31:37
Speaker 1: the player make decisions that are in their best best interest,
31:41
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's disappointing, but it is what it is.
31:45
Speaker 1: And I and I hope nothing but the best for
31:47
Speaker 1: both both parts. Hope the Jaguars end up getting a
31:51
Speaker 1: great player with the picks that they get out of it,
31:53
Speaker 1: and I hope James turns out to be a great
31:56
Speaker 1: asset to the New York Jets. Consider where James Robinson
32:00
Speaker 1: came from before the draft, he was not obviously was
32:04
Speaker 1: an undrafted player, but had to work his way through
32:06
Speaker 1: the shrine game to even get on the radar. And
32:09
Speaker 1: then okay, he goes to a small school and they
32:13
Speaker 1: signed him on draft. You got Leonard for Netts in
32:15
Speaker 1: front of him when he arrives here. I mean, give
32:17
Speaker 1: me a break. So how's he even gonna make the
32:19
Speaker 1: team and contribute. He just kind of kept grinding and
32:21
Speaker 1: grinding and got playing time. Doug Marone put him in
32:24
Speaker 1: the lineup, let's play. Here we are and a sudden,
32:28
Speaker 1: he's the starting, most likely the starting running back at
32:30
Speaker 1: the New York Jets and they have a winning record
32:33
Speaker 1: and they need him to perform. And unfortunately they have
32:37
Speaker 1: another offensive line injury, so I hope they got somebody
32:41
Speaker 1: that can step in Elijah Vera Tucker's role. He's a
32:44
Speaker 1: rookie uh offensive line for USC that I love coming
32:47
Speaker 1: out of the draft. He's a really good football player.
32:50
Speaker 1: But they've had some offensive line injuries up there, so
32:52
Speaker 1: hopefully James can still find his way and just and
32:55
Speaker 1: also consider once he got here after all that he
32:57
Speaker 1: finally made his case to be on this roster and
32:59
Speaker 1: stay what happened last year to him with the previous
33:02
Speaker 1: regime did not want him on the field, and then
33:06
Speaker 1: he enters his achilles second to last game of the season,
33:09
Speaker 1: has to go through all that to get back for
33:10
Speaker 1: the start of this season. And yeah, so best of
33:13
Speaker 1: luck to James. There's there's a lot of people that
33:16
Speaker 1: are here in Jacksonville that are fans of James Robinson
33:20
Speaker 1: and are rooting for him in a big way. Well
33:23
Speaker 1: guess what, we'll get to see him the Thursday before Christmas.
33:26
Speaker 1: Hopefully won't see a whole lot of them. In other words,
33:28
Speaker 1: you know where he's having a field day running the
33:31
Speaker 1: football against the Jaguars defense. Yeah, no doubt about that.
33:34
Speaker 1: That does mean also that Travis c t n has
33:38
Speaker 1: come into his own a bit. I think straight games
33:41
Speaker 1: over a hundred scrimmage yard. He's deserved. Look, Travis c
33:44
Speaker 1: Etienne deserves the role that he's now gonna have. And
33:48
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying that he had to have a
33:51
Speaker 1: trade happened to get it. I mean he's just earned
33:54
Speaker 1: the role, whether James Robinson is on this team or not,
33:57
Speaker 1: because he's just been really good. Now there's still a
34:00
Speaker 1: lot of areas that he can get better and learn from,
34:03
Speaker 1: you know, Indianapolis. The long run. Make that guy that safety,
34:06
Speaker 1: to make him make a move to where you can
34:08
Speaker 1: beat him. The question that you talked about with Fred
34:10
Speaker 1: Taylor and give him a little something the third and
34:14
Speaker 1: one play, you know, follow your lineman Cam Robinson around.
34:17
Speaker 1: I mean, but the one thing about Travis that is
34:21
Speaker 1: really special is that he's explosive. And you can't coach
34:26
Speaker 1: explosive players. What I mean by that is you can
34:30
Speaker 1: coach them all you want, okay, but the reality is
34:34
Speaker 1: you can't coach an explosive play out of a player
34:37
Speaker 1: who's a slug. It just doesn't happen. Can't teach speed,
34:42
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't. I mean it's you know, you
34:45
Speaker 1: can't take a tortoise and make it a hair and
34:48
Speaker 1: vice versa. It just doesn't work that way. We'll come
34:51
Speaker 1: back at a moment and plenty more ahead the Jaguars
34:56
Speaker 1: and the Broncos coming up this Sunday. This is the
34:58

35:45
Speaker 1: the bread, the grids, the meat. I mean that's that's
35:49
Speaker 1: like the ultimate Sunday breakfast pregame meal. There are a
35:53
Speaker 1: number of playing right, yeah, I don't go yet, right
35:58
Speaker 1: and same in the in the UK on the ground.
36:00
Speaker 1: I know you're not a huge fan of the British
36:03
Speaker 1: food as you put it, delicacy you could say, but
36:06
Speaker 1: they're breakfast. They do breakfast very well. They do very well.
36:10
Speaker 1: They do. I'm looking I'm looking forward to to the game.
36:12
Speaker 1: I really like the atmosphere at that game is a
36:16
Speaker 1: lot of fun. It's unique. You know, people are all
36:19
Speaker 1: over from Europe come to the game. Um, all kind
36:22
Speaker 1: of different jerseys, more Jaguars jerseys. Now is the years
36:25
Speaker 1: have gone along. Let's get back to this matchup now,
36:29
Speaker 1: and it is a quite a matchup this week for
36:31
Speaker 1: the Jaguars offensive line against the defensive front and outside
36:34
Speaker 1: linebackers for Denver that can really bring it and they're
36:38
Speaker 1: rated very highly. But it's an offensive line group that's
36:41
Speaker 1: got a rookie center still obviously Tyler Shatley, veteran left guard,
36:44
Speaker 1: veteran right guard. We'll see what Sheriff's status is. He
36:47
Speaker 1: was out of the game a little bit last week.
36:49
Speaker 1: And then the tackles Robinson on the left, Taylor on
36:52
Speaker 1: the right, how are they doing? Let me let me
36:55
Speaker 1: I'll start from left and go to the right. Okay,
36:57
Speaker 1: Cam Robinson got a little dinged up in that game him,
37:00
Speaker 1: but his athleticism just continues to really show. And what
37:06
Speaker 1: I love is that the coaching staff is utilizing his athleticism.
37:10
Speaker 1: They're allowing him to get out in space. The long
37:14
Speaker 1: run that et N had for forty eight yards, that's
37:16
Speaker 1: that's what they call, you know, like a toss crack
37:19
Speaker 1: where you have tight end wide receiver doing the cracking.
37:22
Speaker 1: Although they're not smacking guys in the ear hole, they're
37:25
Speaker 1: walling them off. Cam's pulling around and he's so athletic
37:29
Speaker 1: that he can operate in space and get blocks better
37:33
Speaker 1: than most guards, which tackles aren't really known for guys
37:37
Speaker 1: that can run like that, but he does. Shatley I
37:40
Speaker 1: think has done a really good job, really good job
37:43
Speaker 1: to the point that they haven't missed a beat. And
37:47
Speaker 1: and I hope by the way Ben Barts is healing up.
37:50
Speaker 1: Fortner I think took a big step up this past
37:53
Speaker 1: game against the Giant because you know what I saw.
37:56
Speaker 1: I saw a young player that's got a little nasty
37:59
Speaker 1: to him. JP I'm talking about he was blocking Dexter
38:03
Speaker 1: Lawrence down the field, where Dexter got mad and threw
38:07
Speaker 1: Fortner down to the ground with him because Fortner was
38:11
Speaker 1: blocking him to the whistle down the field and and
38:14
Speaker 1: then throwing a linebacker down on a block probably was
38:18
Speaker 1: a whole, but nonetheless it was awesome like seeing that.
38:22
Speaker 1: And then you know, the grit of right guard Brandon
38:25
Speaker 1: Sheriff is tremendous. He's just so consistent and he's athletic
38:29
Speaker 1: as well. But Juwan Taylor has played his best games
38:34
Speaker 1: back to back as a pro. I said that last
38:37
Speaker 1: week against Indie it was his best game as a
38:40
Speaker 1: pro period. He followed it up with another strong game.
38:44
Speaker 1: And the difference is is the way that he's run blocking,
38:47
Speaker 1: he's finishing his past protection is good. You want to
38:51
Speaker 1: make sure that as offensive line and you eliminate the
38:54
Speaker 1: false start penalty's overall, but this group has got a
38:57
Speaker 1: big challenge this week, but they are getting better and better.
39:02
Speaker 1: Credit Phil Rauscher, the offensive line coach, because this group,
39:06
Speaker 1: I think has taken a lot of steps forward this year.
39:10
Speaker 1: And then you throw in the tight ends who have
39:13
Speaker 1: had a hand in some of that blocking up front
39:15
Speaker 1: too well. And I think and you bring up a
39:17
Speaker 1: point there that I should be ashamed of not mentioning
39:21
Speaker 1: him with the offensive lineman, and that's Chris man Hurts,
39:25
Speaker 1: who is one of the best blocking tight ends that
39:28
Speaker 1: there is in the league. PFF has a ranking of
39:32
Speaker 1: all the tight ends as as receivers, as blockers overall
39:35
Speaker 1: and offense, Man Hurts is near the top of the list,
39:39
Speaker 1: if not at the top. When it comes to blocking,
39:42
Speaker 1: he's been really good. Now the leg whip thing, you know,
39:46
Speaker 1: you want to get rid of that, in fact, because
39:50
Speaker 1: it's a dangerous place. That's why they got it out.
39:51
Speaker 1: In fact, my first started a little flashback. My first
39:56
Speaker 1: start ever as a defensive end in this league was
39:59
Speaker 1: Ninete the at Cincinnati, and I'm going against the Hall
40:04
Speaker 1: of Famer Anthony Munos wasn't a Hall of Famer at
40:07
Speaker 1: that point yet, but he was. And I thought I
40:11
Speaker 1: had Anthony being inside. I did an inside swim and
40:15
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, I get tripped up and
40:18
Speaker 1: I'm I'm going I'm going to the quarterback. Next thing
40:21
Speaker 1: you know, here comes this big leg whipping around and
40:24
Speaker 1: catches my arm that I was catching myself with on
40:27
Speaker 1: the ground. He hits me in the back of the
40:29
Speaker 1: elbow and literally pops my elbow the way it's not
40:33
Speaker 1: supposed to go. And yeah, I was down for the
40:36
Speaker 1: count on that. So my first career start ever his
40:39
Speaker 1: defensive end, I got legged whipped by Hall of Famer
40:42
Speaker 1: Anthony Munos. Did you tell him about that? I did?
40:46
Speaker 1: In fact, no, When he was in town for the
40:50
Speaker 1: big weekend for the Tony Boselli jersey retirement at the
40:55
Speaker 1: showing of seventy one, I talked with Anthony and and
40:59
Speaker 1: I share that story with him, and I said, man,
41:01
Speaker 1: I said, uh, you about took me out for a
41:04
Speaker 1: couple of weeks after that one. But it was a
41:06
Speaker 1: cool moment. You know what he says, He's like, yeah,
41:08
Speaker 1: you deserved it. You were going after my quarterback. Well,
41:11
Speaker 1: it was wouldn't say that the great players in this
41:15
Speaker 1: game are the ones that physically have great gifts, but
41:20
Speaker 1: as they age, they're they're seasoning, they're smarts that they
41:26
Speaker 1: have getting it done and by any means necessary, they
41:30
Speaker 1: get creative. And Anthony Munio has had it at that
41:33
Speaker 1: point because I was not expecting the leg whip. And
41:35
Speaker 1: I can tell you if I had faced him a
41:37
Speaker 1: decade earlier, he wouldn't have needed the leg whip to
41:40
Speaker 1: get me. He would have just flat out blocked me.
41:43
Speaker 1: We're back in a moment. Our final thoughts ahead of
41:45
Speaker 1: this Jaguars Broncos matchup coming up at Wembley Stadium. It's
41:49
Speaker 1: The Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio. Welcome back. The
42:01
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show continues right now. We're coming down the
42:06
Speaker 1: home stretch on The Doug Peterson Show. J P. Shaddrick
42:08
Speaker 1: with Jeff Lockman. Our thanks to Jaguar's head coach Doug Peterson,
42:12
Speaker 1: Joe Fortunado, print Reaber on the audio and video side
42:16
Speaker 1: as always in the Jaguars face the Denver Broncos. Sunday
42:20
Speaker 1: nine thirty is the kickoff time. Eastern one thirty the
42:25
Speaker 1: kickoff time in London. The London clocks fall back an
42:28
Speaker 1: hour the night before the game to Greenwich mean time
42:32
Speaker 1: from British summertime, so it's a four hour time difference
42:36
Speaker 1: on game day. And so there you go, looking forward
42:40
Speaker 1: to that. The both teams two and five, and both
42:42
Speaker 1: teams to drop four in a row, and both teams
42:45
Speaker 1: have a lot to get off their chest, if you will,
42:47
Speaker 1: in this game. And I think for both teams, you
42:52
Speaker 1: you want to get the win just because you want
42:53
Speaker 1: to stop talking about the losing, and that's not the
42:58
Speaker 1: reason why you want to win. But my point is
43:00
Speaker 1: is that you want to have affirmation of what you're
43:02
Speaker 1: doing because you have new regimes with both organizations, that
43:07
Speaker 1: you want to have affirmation that what you're doing is right,
43:10
Speaker 1: that you're headed in the right direction. And I think
43:13
Speaker 1: both fan bases want to believe that the team is
43:16
Speaker 1: headed in the right direction. And this Jaguars organization was
43:22
Speaker 1: the worst team in football for two consecutive years, and
43:25
Speaker 1: the team started out hot, and teams and people were thinking, wow,
43:30
Speaker 1: this is great, right, and people in the national media
43:33
Speaker 1: were actually starting to talk about the Jaguars is a
43:37
Speaker 1: People are taking notice. And then you hit the losing
43:39
Speaker 1: stretch and now you start to question what you're doing sometimes,
43:44
Speaker 1: but you can't question that. You still got to kind
43:46
Speaker 1: of stay the course and and you've got to have
43:48
Speaker 1: a win though that affirms what you're doing is the
43:51
Speaker 1: right thing. Yes, keep it up on offense and moving
43:54
Speaker 1: the ball. Just those situations have come back to buy
43:57
Speaker 1: them a little bit. Some of the short yardage stuff,
44:00
Speaker 1: the red zone we could talk about that old day.
44:02
Speaker 1: And of course on defense, the running game last week
44:05
Speaker 1: and the fourth quarter of the four minute situation especially,
44:07
Speaker 1: oh boy, couldn't couldn't get him off the field and
44:10
Speaker 1: then and make a play defensive get a turnover. They've
44:14
Speaker 1: gone dry on the turnovers the last two three weeks. Yeah,
44:17
Speaker 1: that's that's got a change. And uh And I will
44:20
Speaker 1: say that when you play in really big games that
44:23
Speaker 1: you have something that's called I call the magnification of mistakes,
44:27
Speaker 1: which turnovers are in that category. And so in a
44:30
Speaker 1: game like this, if you end up having a costly
44:33
Speaker 1: turnover with both teams having lost a lot of games recently.
44:37
Speaker 1: It could take a lot of coldrain a team, so
44:41
Speaker 1: you want to be the team that gets the takeaway first,
44:43
Speaker 1: not the one that gives it away. All right, Jaguars
44:47
Speaker 1: back in London. They're back at Wimbley for the first
44:50
Speaker 1: time since twenty nineteen this coming Sunday for a match
44:54
Speaker 1: up against the Denver Broncos. It's the ninth all time
44:57
Speaker 1: visit to London for the Jags, the second all time
45:00
Speaker 1: for the Broncos. Again an eight thirty year time with
45:03
Speaker 1: countdown to kickoff on the network Sunday and then a
45:06
Speaker 1: nine thirty kickoff for the Jaguars and the Broncos. Thanks
45:09
Speaker 1: for our entire crew, and thank you for listening to
45:12
Speaker 1: the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network m
