Speaker 1: Jaguars quarterbacks coach Ben maca do with us, is the
Speaker 1: Jags visit Lambeau Field and the Green Bay Packers a
Speaker 1: place been where you've spent a little bit of time
Speaker 1: in your career. I'm sure it's not the first time
Speaker 1: back there, so all of that is gone now. But
Speaker 1: what is it like to go back to Lambeau for
Speaker 1: you since you spent so much of your career there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my salad days, right. Uh. No, Green Bay is a
Speaker 1: special place to me and my family. Uh you know,
Speaker 1: my first uh, I guess a big time position coaching
Speaker 1: job was there, got married there, had a couple of
Speaker 1: kids there, and won a Super Bowl there, So I
Speaker 1: guess you would consider it a special spot. I haven't
Speaker 1: been back there since uh the two thousand sixteen season,
Speaker 1: but looking looking forward to going back. Jake Luton made
Speaker 1: his debut last week in the National Football League. Some
Speaker 1: good stuff, some not so good things, but overall a
Speaker 1: good debut considering the circumstances. Have felt like, yeah, you know, Jake, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, showing up the first time being active, getting
Speaker 1: a SUP for an NFL game, you know, no priest season,
Speaker 1: none of that stuff, So you know, he did what
Speaker 1: we asked him to do. You know, he went out,
Speaker 1: he was decisive, he was aggressive with the football, and
Speaker 1: that's his game, you know, And we just asked him
Speaker 1: to go play his game and whatever happened on that play,
Speaker 1: just make sure you flush it and go to the
Speaker 1: next one and learn, you know, learn from it and
Speaker 1: just keep moving through the game. And he did that,
Speaker 1: and he put us in position there. Uh, at the
Speaker 1: end of time, we didn't get it done, but uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I thought he did had a good debut.
Speaker 1: The importance of that deep shot early the opening drive.
Speaker 1: It felt like that built not only his confidence but
Speaker 1: the confidence of the offense. Really for the early part
Speaker 1: of that football game. You agree with that. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: it's a big down. You have third down on long
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, he took the right footwork, he
Speaker 1: made the right ring, he laid a nice ball in there.
Speaker 1: DJ ran a tremendous route and uh, you know, they connected.
Speaker 1: They had a little bit of chemistry going in that
Speaker 1: game and then practice, so you know, that was good
Speaker 1: to see and surely that's that's a confidence booster there.
Speaker 1: He had a pretty good ratio on on some deep
Speaker 1: shots last week though, right and that's a strong part
Speaker 1: of his game with the arm that he has. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, he's the guy that sees the field well. Uh,
Speaker 1: not just because he's six foot seven, but he sees
Speaker 1: the field well. He knows where the uh, he knows
Speaker 1: where to put his eyes. He's a young guy. He's
Speaker 1: still learning some things, but you know, when he sees it,
Speaker 1: he's able to play fast and pull the trigger and uh,
Speaker 1: you know when he's when he's accurate and has some
Speaker 1: good uh you know, good spin on the ball like
Speaker 1: he can do. It's pretty to watch with US Jaguars
Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach. Now for the first time you got to
Speaker 1: sit in the film session with him after he played
Speaker 1: a game. How was he to deal with there and
Speaker 1: how much different was it for him watching himself on
Speaker 1: tape during a game. He's good that way. He's you know,
Speaker 1: he's a mature guy. First of all. He's not one
Speaker 1: of the real young rookies that you can you can
Speaker 1: get your hands on, and um, you know, Jake's a
Speaker 1: guy that has been through some He's had a bumpy
Speaker 1: road to get here. It wasn't all handed to him,
Speaker 1: so he's had to earn it every step of the
Speaker 1: way everywhere he's been, um, including here, and you know,
Speaker 1: it was just another day at the office, you know,
Speaker 1: all all week last week, and even when we told
Speaker 1: him he he uh was gonna have an opportunity to play,
Speaker 1: it was just another day at the office for him,
Speaker 1: and he just went about it and went to work. Um.
Speaker 1: You like a guy that just puts his head down
Speaker 1: and goes to work and all he wants to do
Speaker 1: is get better, getting better, And you know that's what
Speaker 1: he's doing. But I canna do with us Jaguars quarterbacks coach,
Speaker 1: all right, So take us through some things that went
Speaker 1: really well for him, and then take us through a
Speaker 1: couple of things. But he can build upon from last week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know the stuff that he did well, well, you
Speaker 1: know we took a look at that. We're not gonna
Speaker 1: spend as much time on the stuff that he did well.
Speaker 1: We're always gonna look at the things that we can
Speaker 1: do to fix so we can improve. And the biggest
Speaker 1: thing I told him, I said, you know, going from
Speaker 1: week one to week two is it's only gonna get harder. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, there's film of you out there now. We're
Speaker 1: going getting ready to go on the road. We're not
Speaker 1: gonna be at home, even though there's not fans involved.
Speaker 1: That's gonna make it a more challenging deal. Going up
Speaker 1: to lambeau Field is a tough place to play. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's an aura about playing there. Um. Then you have
Speaker 1: to make sure you're doubt in the right way. You know,
Speaker 1: Mike Petton is a guy that's going to challenge you mentally. Uh.
Speaker 1: And they do a good job of that, and they
Speaker 1: have good players on that defense, and you know you
Speaker 1: can you can fall into the trap and where Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm competing against Aaron Rodgers and trying to beat Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: But that's not your job. Your job to do whatever
Speaker 1: you gotta do to put our offense in a good
Speaker 1: position to win that play. Uh. Then that's gonna be
Speaker 1: the challenge this week. Great stuff. Always good to visit
Speaker 1: with you, and I keep up the good work. Let's
Speaker 1: get it. Let's get a w this week. How about that? Hey,
Speaker 1: that's we're working. Hey, we're working on practice and all week.
Speaker 1: We might as well go up there and get a win. Right,
Speaker 1: That sounds good to me. Then we'll talk to you
Speaker 1: next time. All right. Thanks
