10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 3: Good to see you again. Yeah, good to see you guys. Yeah,

11
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 3: it's been a couple of weeks. It's been a little bit.

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 3: Here on Thursday on the network. Head coach back of

13
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 3: the studio with us. All right, let's begin with the biggest.

14
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: Obviously, last week, Trevor Lawrence takes the hit in the game,

15
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 2: placed on injured reserve earlier this week.

16
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 4: Where's he stand and why the decision now to do that?

17
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I mean obviously, player safety, you know,

18
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 3: player health is his first and foremost and and obviously

19
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 3: he was dealing with the shoulder and he really, i

20
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 3: mean did everything that he possibly could, you know, to

21
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 3: get himself ready to play against Houston.

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 5: And that was always our goal was to get him

23
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 5: ready for Houston.

24
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: And and you know, and then unfortunately the hit and

25
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 3: and and knocked him, knocked him out, and then of

26
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 3: course you lose the game, and it kind of eliminates

27
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 3: you from any any potential you know, postseason of anything.

28
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 3: And so you know, really for us, I think as

29
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 3: an organization, for Trevor uh, the best decision would be to,

30
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 3: you know, go ahead and shut him down, go ahead

31
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 3: and let it he first fall, he's got to he's

32
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 3: got to clear the protocol and and that's the first thing.

33
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 3: And and make sure that you know, he's good and

34
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 3: healthy there and and then and then schedule you know,

35
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 3: the surgery and and fix the shoulder and and really

36
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: begin the you know, the rehab process and and you know,

37
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: hopefully get him ready for you know, the off season

38
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 3: program and and you know into next season.

39
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: You know, since Sunday, the conversation has been almost only

40
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 2: about the hit and people's opinion on the hit, and

41
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: the reaction to the hit, and your reaction to the hit,

42
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: and the Tomiko's reaction to the hit. I think what's

43
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: kind of gotten lost in all of this is how

44
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 2: is Trevor doing health wise from the hit?

45
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I mean I saw him, you know,

46
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: Monday and obviously Tuesday and and and really you know

47
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 3: he's been in the building doing his doing his protocol

48
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 3: that that he needs to do.

49
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 5: But you know, the last couple of he's getting better.

50
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 5: But but it's still.

51
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 3: I mean, it was a significant hit, you know when

52
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 3: when you saw it and and and hitting his head

53
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: on the ground, and and you know, I don't know

54
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 3: everything about head trauma and all that, nor do I

55
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 3: care to, but you.

56
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 5: Know it's gonna it's gonna take some time, I think

57
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 5: on this one.

58
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 3: And and so you know, each day gets better for him,

59
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 3: and you know, we we just want him to rest

60
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 3: and heal up and and and get himself ready.

61
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 2: And when your quarterback goes down mathematically, you guys are

62
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: eliminated from the playoffs at this point, what do you

63
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: use to motivate your football team with five games remaining,

64
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: especially this week because you got a division opponent.

65
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: I you know, I lean on the I lean on

66
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 3: the leadership of the team, and really I challenge those guys,

67
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 3: you know, we've still got five games, and our season

68
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 3: doesn't end because we're not in the postseason. And you're

69
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,399
Speaker 3: playing for pride, you're playing for you know, the sometimes

70
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 3: the name on the back of your jersey and and

71
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 3: what are you going to put out there on tape?

72
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: And and so for us and these are division division

73
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 3: games too, so they mean a lot. And and then

74
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 3: how we finish the season can say a lot to

75
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 3: the direction that we go in the offseason, right, So

76
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 3: you know, there's a lot of pride at stake, honestly,

77
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 3: And and then it.

78
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 5: It's my job to make sure that they don't go

79
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 5: in the tank.

80
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 3: Right, It's my job to say, hey, guys, you know,

81
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 3: we still have a lot to play for, and you

82
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: have a lot to play for.

83
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 5: I have a lot to coach for or and and.

84
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 3: You know that right there, and then leaning on the

85
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 3: leadership of the group, you know, gets us through.

86
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 5: You know, these next few weeks.

87
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson with us, You've won a lot of games

88
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: in your career, you had a lot of winning seasons.

89
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 4: Is this is this your toughest season as a head coach?

90
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 3: You think, oh, by far, by far, And you know

91
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: it's tough because of the way we're losing. You know,

92
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 3: if it's the other way around, you go, wow, the

93
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 3: way we're winning games is just you know, by the.

94
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 5: By the hair of our chin.

95
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: And and yet, you know, I keep telling the football team, like, guys,

96
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 3: these games come down to like two or three plays

97
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 3: a game, and you never know which ones are gonna

98
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 3: be and you got to continue to do your job.

99
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 5: And it's a sixty minute football game.

100
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: It's not a fifty eight minute football game or a

101
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 3: fifty nine minute football game. You got to play and

102
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 3: lock in every single down. And and I think it's

103
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 3: disappointing from the standpoint of you know, we we we're

104
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 3: finding ways to lose, you know, if that makes sense

105
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: as opposed to finding ways to win. And if you

106
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 3: watch our practices, if you watch the guys during the week,

107
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 3: they put in the time, they put in the effort,

108
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 3: they put in everything that they.

109
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 5: Need to right for Sunday.

110
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 3: But then there's a I don't know, call it a disconnect,

111
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 3: call it you know, whatever you want. But sometimes it

112
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 3: doesn't translate to the game, and we make these mistakes

113
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 3: that get magnified and you can't go searching for football plays.

114
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 3: You have to just continue to do your job, and

115
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: you could go the entire game doing your job and

116
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 3: the ball may not even end up in your in

117
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 3: your court, let's call it, right, But the second you

118
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 3: go and do something different, the ball ends up right there.

119
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 5: It's just, you know, so you can't take things in

120
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 5: your own hands. You got to continue to do your job.

121
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 3: That's coaches and players. No, I'm not listen, I don't

122
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 3: point the finger and all that.

123
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 4: It's it's I.

124
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 3: Look at me too, and what am I doing to

125
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 3: help the team win as well? And you know, we

126
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 3: just haven't done enough that way.

127
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 2: I think if you look at the two Houston games

128
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 2: when you talk about, hey, look, we're just not finding

129
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: a way to win, if you look at both Houston games,

130
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 2: I think they're a perfect example of that. The first

131
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 2: game in Houston, opportunity with the lead and an offense

132
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 2: with the control of the ball to put the game away.

133
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 2: Weren't able to do that and weren't able to get

134
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: a stop defensively. This Houston game here recently, you needed

135
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: to get a stop because Houston had the ball. Kind

136
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: of roles reversed a little bit in both games, and

137
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: you guys weren't able to get the stop in that

138
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: four minute drill and they were able to kill that clock.

139
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 2: And that's got to be frustrating when you kind of

140
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 2: have it happened both ways.

141
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 5: It is, and I think that's the hard thing to really.

142
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 3: I think, you know, when we get into the offseason,

143
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 3: we start diving back in and looking at the season,

144
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 3: and we're going to sit and we're going to be

145
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 3: shaking our heads and we're going to be frustrated. And

146
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 3: it's not that we're a lesser team or have less

147
00:06:59,360 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: talent than it.

148
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 5: We're right there with all these teams.

149
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 3: I mean, look at some of the you know, look

150
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 3: at Green Bay and Philly and Minnesota, and you're, you're Houston's,

151
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 3: You're You're right there. You're beating these teams, especially in

152
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: the second half of the games.

153
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 5: You're beating them.

154
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 3: Our challenge is how do we get past how do

155
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 3: we get through that that barricade?

156
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 5: How do we win that game? And then and then

157
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 5: when you win one, you okay, there's a little bit

158
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 5: of a recipe for success, and you build.

159
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 3: Onto that, on onto that, and and and so that

160
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 3: that's the disappointing thing, right when you look at those

161
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 3: two games, as you mentioned, it's frustrating because you have opportunities.

162
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 5: To win both games.

163
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: Head coach Doug Peterson with us and I'm moving ahead

164
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: here down the stretch. I mean, everybody's saying, oh, play

165
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 2: the young guys, let's see some young guys.

166
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 4: How much of that is real?

167
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 2: How much evaluation do you need to see of players

168
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 2: who might not have had opportunities earlier in the season,

169
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: or you know, young guys that have played a lot.

170
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas Junior still got a lot to play for

171
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: this year. A guy like that, I mean, how do

172
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: you balance the does a head coach down the stretch with.

173
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 4: Hey, let's go win the football game too.

174
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 3: You know, I want to win these five games, Yeah,

175
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 3: flat out. I want to win these games. And who's

176
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 3: on the field. I don't care who's on the field.

177
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 3: I want to win these games. And that's got to

178
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 3: be the mindset of our team.

179
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 5: I think when you have a month a little over

180
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 5: a month left of your season and you.

181
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 3: Start pulling guys back, I think you're sending a bad

182
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 3: message to your guys that we're waving the white flag,

183
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 3: we're conceding, and I don't want to do that. We're

184
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 3: crying uncle, and I use that metaphor a little bit

185
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 3: in a team meeting the other day. Let's not cry, uncle,

186
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: let's not tap, let's not let's not give in. And

187
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 3: so I want to win these games. And we still

188
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 3: have something to prove to ourselves, right, We still got

189
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 3: to correct some mistakes. We still have to coach, We

190
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 3: still have to get guys playing at a high level.

191
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 3: And I think if I start pulling back, then I

192
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 3: can't finish that task, right, And so I want to

193
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 3: keep I want to keep pushing forward. Man, I want

194
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 3: to keep you know, I want to keep swinging, keep chopping,

195
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 3: as they say, and and and try to win five games.

196
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 4: I'm hearing her Edwards somewhere.

197
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 6: Go.

198
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 4: You play to win the.

199
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 5: Game, absolutely exactly, you know.

200
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 2: And if you're gonna win this game against Tennessee, you

201
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: better block those two big dudes up in the middle

202
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 2: man Sweat and Simmons. Uh. Arguably the two biggest, most

203
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 2: powerful defensive tackles that you're going to face this year,

204
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 2: probably next to the Philadelphia Eagles. A pair that they have. Uh,

205
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 2: they are a load, that's for sure.

206
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 4: They are.

207
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 3: Jeffrey Simmons is one of the best tackles in this league.

208
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 3: You put them in the top you know, two, three,

209
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 3: maybe maybe one. I mean he's he's right there. And

210
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 3: and then you know, Sweat the kid they got the

211
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 3: rookie is is a is a monster human being and

212
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 3: they list him at like three sixty six. I think

213
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 3: he's I think he's a biscuit shy of you know,

214
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 3: maybe three sixty seven.

215
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 5: But no, they are too powerful and big, strong guys.

216
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 5: They they plug the middle.

217
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 3: You definitely have to get you know, combo blocks on

218
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 3: them and and things of that nature, and.

219
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 5: You know, move them the best you can.

220
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 3: But we've always had great, great games against against those

221
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 3: guys and and look forward to that again.

222
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and blocking those guys. I bring that up because

223
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 2: I mean, you've got a backup quarterback in Mac Jones playing,

224
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: and obviously when you have a backup quarterback playing, what's

225
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 2: backup quarterback's best friend is a running game. And in

226
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,719
Speaker 2: order to run the ball, you got to block those

227
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 2: two big dudes, which is not gonna be easy. Uh

228
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: So quite the challenge to say the least.

229
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 3: Yes, you're absolutely right, and you know, as as I said,

230
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 3: you know you got to get your your blocking schemes

231
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 3: have got to be a lot of combos. You're gonna

232
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 3: have to single them up from time to time because

233
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 3: they will present you some five men fronts, and you know,

234
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 3: when Landry comes in, they want to play some base

235
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 3: defense and things of that nature, you know, And and

236
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 3: so blocking them as a task. And then you got

237
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 3: our And I think Arden's playing playing better this year.

238
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 3: He's playing fast, he's he's another one that's playing physical

239
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 3: and and he's created some some.

240
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 5: Force fumbles this season on quarterbacks and and uh and

241
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 5: Landry's Landry. So it's a it's a good group. It's

242
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 5: a solid group up front.

243
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 3: And yeah, it's a it's another it's another good opportunity,

244
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 3: another good test for our offensive line.

245
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, you bring up those edge guys and by the way,

246
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 2: I thought your tackles played fantastic against those two edge

247
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 2: guys of Houston this past week. Parker Washington really took

248
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 2: a step up this past game. Brian Thomas Junior, we

249
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: know about him, but I thought what Parker did this

250
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 2: past game was really impressive to show the ability that

251
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: he has and the dependability exactly right.

252
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 5: I love Parker.

253
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 3: You know, go back to preseason, the type of preseason

254
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 3: that he had and the expectations that that we had

255
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 3: for him coming out of camp, and and we were

256
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 3: all excited about where Parker was going his career and

257
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 3: how he's developed and grown. And then he gets an

258
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 3: opportunity now and and he just each week gets gets

259
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 3: better and better and and you're you're right, BT is

260
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 3: gonna get you know, his targets, and and it's unfortunate

261
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 3: we missed him, you know, twice down the field and

262
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 3: for for big plays and and those are those are

263
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 3: game changers, you know, And and so we know BT

264
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 3: is gonna get his stuff. But Parker came in, played tough,

265
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 3: played physical, heck of a catch on the touchdown reception,

266
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 3: and really really has been a spark for us offensively,

267
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 3: you know, particularly in the passing game along with BT.

268
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: Let's finish on the other side of things now, defense

269
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 2: going against this Titans offense, and Will Levis has played

270
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 2: better football since coming back in the lineup in Week

271
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 2: six statistically, you know, eight touchdowns, three picks since then,

272
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 2: rating in the ninety four area. And I guess the

273
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 2: next five weeks for them is to see if he's

274
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: the guy there for the long term. What do you

275
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 2: see of Will Levis on tape.

276
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 5: I mean the numbers right there are exactly what you see.

277
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 3: He's protecting the football better, not putting it necessarily in

278
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 3: harm's way, you know. So so yeah, it's a it's

279
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 3: an offense. They can you know, obviously they lost a

280
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: piece in in DeAndre Hopkins, but you know Calvin has

281
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 3: has kind of stepped up in that role and and

282
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 3: you know they they do. They do some things that

283
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 3: are that are going to keep you off balance, and

284
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 3: and they've done that to us in the past. But

285
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 3: you know, Will has done a nice job of just

286
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 3: kind of running the offense and using his athleticism and.

287
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 5: His arm strength and things like that, and.

288
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 3: Another you know, it's a young quarterback that that we've

289
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 3: got to be able to get after. If we can

290
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 3: disrupt him, right, and in that ball disruption that we

291
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 3: talk about a lot, then that's where the takeaways, right

292
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 3: and the giveaways and things of that nature can can

293
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 3: come into play. And we've got to be able to

294
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 3: create some, you know, on Sunday. So give our offense

295
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 3: another another opportunity.

296
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 2: Watching him a couple of weeks ago, he got sucked

297
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: like eight times against Houston, but impressed the heck out

298
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 2: of me because late in that ballgame, after getting hit

299
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: as many times as he did, he still wasn't peeking

300
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: at the rush, which is for a young quarterback. It's

301
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 2: pretty impressive to.

302
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 4: Be able to do that.

303
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 2: And the guys that I think really are stood out

304
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 2: to meet Chigo Konquo the tight end, Pollard the running back.

305
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 2: Your linebackers are going to be tested.

306
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 3: They're gonna be tested, you know, the middle of the field.

307
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 3: And and you know Pollard, you know, can be can

308
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 3: be one of those dynamic, electric, you know running backs.

309
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 5: I mean he can.

310
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 3: He's got the speed and quickness and he can a

311
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 3: tough enough to run through the tackles and quick enough

312
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 3: to get around the edge and also the middle of

313
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 3: the field right just attacking linebackers, attacking leverage.

314
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 5: So our guys, you know, will be prepared, they'll be

315
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 5: ready to.

316
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 3: Go, looking forward to the opportunity and the challenge, you know,

317
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 3: against the good football team.

318
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 4: Doug, thanks for the time, good luck in Nashville this week.

319
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 4: Let's get a win on the road. Yep, thank you.

324
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 2: The Doug Peterson Show, presented by Fresh from Florida, J P.

325
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 2: Shadwick Jeff Flagman. We're at the Hundai Studios at the

326
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: Miller Electric Center thanks to head coach Doug Peterson in

327
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 2: studio with us, first time in a few weeks. Had

328
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: the bye week and then Thanksgiving and a lot going

329
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 2: on around a team that's now two to ten eliminated

330
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 2: from playoff contention officially after the Monday night Denver Broncos win,

331
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 2: which is a great.

332
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 4: Game, by the way, it's a side note. And of course,

333
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 4: now the quarterback Trevor Lawrence is done for the year.

334
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 2: And you know, I'm his reaction when I asked him,

335
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: you know, hey, everybody wants to play the young guys.

336
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 4: Now you're eliminated.

337
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 2: You know what's the balance of that while still trying

338
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 2: to win games? And that long pause kind of told

339
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 2: you his mind was turning, and you, yeah, yeah, you're

340
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 2: playing to win football games, all five of these as

341
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 2: a head coach and really as a player you should

342
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 2: be too.

343
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 4: I mean the.

344
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: Reality is is that as a coach, I don't know

345
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: if you messcessarily have the luxury to play young guys

346
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 2: to kind of figure out where they are and develop

347
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 2: for next year. You know for sounds great, right Well yeah,

348
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: meania it does. But that same token, I mean, look,

349
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 2: he's got a job to do, and he's paid to

350
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: do a job, and if you know, and part of

351
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 2: that job is winning football games. And right now they're

352
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 2: not winning a lot of football games. So I think

353
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 2: as a coacher wanting to do everything you possibly can

354
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 2: to just like a player, you know, it's about the money, okay,

355
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 2: and being a professional, and as a coach to be

356
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 2: still the coach, you know, you got to win football game.

357
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: So that's where all of his attention is at. And

358
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: I think along the way, if you have some young

359
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: players that have showed you some promise, then I think

360
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 2: that you would play them not so much just to

361
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: play them, but to to kind of let them, you know,

362
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,520
Speaker 2: blossom a little bit. You know, maybe have an older

363
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: guy who's trending down and the way he plays, the

364
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 2: younger guy who maybe is trending up and the way

365
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 2: he's playing, and so you kind of maybe say Hey,

366
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 2: let's go with the young guy here in this situation.

367
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 2: Maybe he's going to be hungrier, but there's not a

368
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 2: whole lot of positions you could really do that with

369
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 2: very few actually, And then his thoughts on Trevor Lawrence

370
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 2: and his move to I R and the reasons behind

371
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 2: that all kind of makes sense.

372
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it totally makes sense.

373
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 2: And you know it's again, you know, wanted to ask

374
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 2: that question about how he's doing, and it was good.

375
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 2: Here he's doing well, and you know, that's a that

376
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 2: was a vicious hit. And you know, I've had concussions

377
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 2: I think when I played before, but I've never had

378
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 2: a moment where I assumed the fencing position and was

379
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 2: by all appearances, Trevor was knocked out. So that's pretty scary,

380
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 2: you know, considering that that was the second concussion he

381
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 2: sustained in the last year or so ballpark, So uh,

382
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 2: definitely it was time to shut him down. That's the

383
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,199
Speaker 2: best decision for the franchise. There's a lot going on

384
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 2: in his personal life too. They got baby Lawrence coming

385
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 2: here fairly soon. I mean all that, I mean, there's

386
00:17:58,600 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that what's going on.

387
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 4: He's coming off the concussion.

388
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 2: They got to work on the shoulder off the field,

389
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 2: and then just all that's gonna happen and then he'll

390
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 2: be ready for the off season program. Yeah, the off

391
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 2: the field stuff, I don't think it's taken into consideration.

392
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 2: I think no, I'm just I didn't say it was

393
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 2: right right, right, But I think the bottom line is

394
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: is that you need to make the best decision for

395
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 2: your franchise going forward when you have the sizeable investment

396
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 2: that you do in Trevor Lawrence and the expectation of

397
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 2: him to be the leader of your football team for

398
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 2: many years to come. So it's not necessarily about thinking

399
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 2: about now, but it's also thinking about where you're going

400
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 2: to be at in the future.

401
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:40,400
Speaker 5: Well.

402
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 2: Now, the immediate future for the Jaguars rests on the

403
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 2: play of Mac Jones at quarterback, and the two starts

404
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,959
Speaker 2: we've seen him didn't play that well on in relief

405
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 2: last week after Lawrence was gone from the game, played

406
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 2: pretty well, especially in the fourth quarter. They had to

407
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 2: push it, they had to fight back, they had to

408
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 2: score quick, and they did and got within one score.

409
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 2: And the defense, obviously the Texans defense is playing a

410
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: little bit differently at that point in the game than

411
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,239
Speaker 2: they were early on. And I got to give some

412
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 2: credit to the Jaguars offensive line because I thought they

413
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 2: did a really good job in this ball game, first

414
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 2: and foremost, after Trevor got hurt. Their ability to run

415
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 2: the ball and get points at the end of that

416
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 2: drive without having to throw the ball or worrying about

417
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 2: throwing the ball, I thought was impressive. But then the

418
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 2: Jaguars got into an obvious passing situation and the Texans

419
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 2: possess the two best edge rushers in the National Football League.

420
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: If you look at it from a number stand point,

421
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 2: that doesn't lie really good players. And I thought that

422
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 2: Walker little and drawing a blank on the other Anton Harrison,

423
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: thank you. I thought they did a tremendous job. And

424
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 2: that was probably their best game in pass protection for sure,

425
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 2: because that was the two best players that they were facing.

426
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 2: And so I thought they did a great job. And

427
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 2: you know, the reality is that Jones has shown that

428
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 2: if you flash at him or he gets pressure, his

429
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 2: feet get messed up. His pocket was so clean on

430
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,719
Speaker 2: multiple occasions in that game. He could not help but

431
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 2: have calm feet and accurate throws in that situation. So

432
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 2: kudos to the offensive line. How many sacks did they

433
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 2: allow in that game? By the way, Yeah, I don't

434
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 2: think it was a one sack. I think they might

435
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 2: hit the quarterback twice. Let's see here. I don't think

436
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: they allowed a sack. No, no sacks, But I mean impressive, right, Yeah,

437
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 2: totally impressive.

438
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 4: So kudos to the offensive line.

439
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 2: But the reality is is that Mac Jones needs to

440
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 2: continue to play well this week for a lot of reasons.

441
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 4: One for the.

442
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 2: Team to win, two for him. He's looking at the

443
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 2: end of his contract. He's looking at positioning himself for

444
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 2: free agency to maybe get back in the conversation about

445
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 2: being a star arding quarterback in the National Football League

446
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 2: instead of a backup, which the pay is vastly different

447
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 2: between starter or competing for a starting job in a backup.

448
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 4: I think.

449
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 2: So huh, We're back in a moment plenty ahead. We'll

450
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 2: get into the defensive side about ten minutes away. We'll

451
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 2: hear from Fred Taylor as well. Prior to the Jaguars

467
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 2: Jones of course out there, that would help settle some things,

468
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 2: balance it out. But the run game has been disappointing.

469
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 2: I guess is a good word for it this year.

470
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 2: Both running backs have had moments where they've had some

471
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 2: injury concerns and they just can't find any traction on

472
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,679
Speaker 2: the ground. Bigsby five hundred and forty seven rushing yards,

473
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 2: four touchdowns eatn three seventy one and two scores.

474
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 4: On the ground this year.

475
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 2: But I mean, look at Bigsby's average per carry number,

476
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 2: it's five point four. You know, he had a nice

477
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 2: run on Sunday against Houston, and I think he, you know,

478
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 2: is the better runner of the two right now. And

479
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,400
Speaker 2: I think that both of their skill sets compliment each

480
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 2: other as far as the roles that they can play.

481
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 2: They kind of started out though, with Etn kind of

482
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: being that main guy, and then they went to Biggs

483
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 2: be later on. I would play Bigsby more on first

484
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 2: and second down and let Etn kind of be that

485
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 2: third down back.

486
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 4: But that's just me.

487
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 2: One thing I'd like to I'd love to see an

488
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 2: increased role, more targets opportunities for Brenton Strange. You know,

489
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 2: when you you've had a lot of issues that wide receiver,

490
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,400
Speaker 2: and I know that you just brought a guy in

491
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 2: by the name of Josh Reynolds, who they acquired off

492
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 2: of waivers from the Denver Broncos, but you know, you

493
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 2: really don't have a third wide receiver that you go

494
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 2: wild with. And I think with Evan Ingram and Brenton Strange,

495
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 2: the ability to keep both of those guys on the field,

496
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 2: I think it's good. And I also think that there

497
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 2: every time that Brenton Strangers had an opportunity to catch

498
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 2: the ball. Even as past game he had that one catch,

499
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 2: which was only one catch for fourteen yard if.

500
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 4: He ran over a guy and cut.

501
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 2: I think it was like fourteen yards and just every there.

502
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 2: The more he touches the ball, the more you like.

503
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 2: And I just wish that he had more opportunities in

504
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 2: this offense.

505
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 4: Plenty ahead.

Speaker 2: move to ir of Trevor Lawrence, and much more, and

Speaker 1: Welcome Back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now.

514
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 2: The Doug Peterson Show, presented by Fresh from Florida Welcome

515
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 2: Back along the Jaguars Radio Network JP, Shadwick, Jeff Loghim

516
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 2: back with us shortly. Pride of the Jaguars running back

517
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,959
Speaker 2: Fred Taylor with us this week talking about the motivation

518
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 2: needed in the stretch run with five games to go

519
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 2: and out of the playoff race, but also the move

520
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 2: of quarterback Trevor Lawrence to injured reserve.

521
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 7: You know, I think it was a great decision. Is decision,

522
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 7: you know, for for Trevor. You know, I believe overall

523
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 7: it was for the Trevor's future and his long term health,

524
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 7: and also for the Jaguars future, you know, and in

525
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 7: the team's long term health as well, because it seems

526
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 7: that the team is only going to go as Trevor goes,

527
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 7: you know, with the investment recent leaders past offseason. I

528
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 7: believe it was a great business decision, but more importantly

529
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 7: just a decision that allows the Jaguars to say, we

530
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 7: are a high class organization. We care what's going to

531
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 7: happen with the rest of the season, but as it

532
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 7: pertains the Trevor Lawrence, we are more concerned about his

533
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 7: health and what we can the help we can get

534
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 7: him right now.

535
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 6: So I thought it was a great decision.

536
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 7: We called for it on the post game, you know,

537
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 7: I was advocate from saying, hey, maybe they should shut

538
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 7: him down. And now that they've announced that he's shut down,

539
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 7: he can have his procedure on his shoulder, and so

540
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 7: to just get better, you know, not just physically, but mentally.

541
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 7: He can find himself in a good space and they

542
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 7: can look now to start evaluating to see what they're

543
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 7: going to do with the other guys by giving them

544
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 7: opportunity to play.

545
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 2: I guess it's not too late to find a killer

546
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 2: instinct and win some of these games. They just haven't

547
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 2: figured out a way to do it in the last

548
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 2: seven times they've had a chance to do it. So

549
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 2: why would they start now? How do you finish a

550
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 2: football game.

551
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 6: This point in the season.

552
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 7: That's a great question, Japer, You hit it on the head.

553
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 7: Why would they start now? I mean, just looking around.

554
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 7: I'm sure the scouting department they're looking at they've looked

555
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 7: at the entire season. What's available on the college ranks,

556
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 7: you know, what they can possibly use where we need

557
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 7: to get better at. If it's across the O line,

558
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 7: D line, you know, secondary receivers, I'll say that again, receivers.

559
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 6: Arizona has a great.

560
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 7: Young receiver who's gonna be a top pick, and most

561
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 7: of these teams are sort of looking at draft picks,

562
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 7: and this is a battle of the uglies. These next

563
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 7: couple of weeks they played the Raiders. Who's up there,

564
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 7: same record. The Jets aren't appealing in their record. The

565
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 7: Titans again aren't too great in their record. I don't know, right, like,

566
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 7: what do you do as a staff? You don't I

567
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 7: don't want to use the word tank. Do you just

568
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 7: try stuff? Do you look around and try players?

569
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 5: You know?

570
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 7: Not trying stuff isn't just trying different plays or gadgetry

571
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 7: or any of that stuff. It's let's look at our

572
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 7: roster and let's see, you know, in terms of evaluations, evaluating,

573
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 7: let's see who we can possibly bring back next year.

574
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 6: We can have a better look at this player.

575
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 7: We didn't have an opportunity to look at him when

576
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 7: the starters were there. Maybe we can look at this

577
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 7: player a little bit more. Started to kind of taper

578
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 7: down the starters a little bit, you know, for injury

579
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 7: purposes and wear and tear, to hopefully get them to

580
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 7: the off season safely. But again, I'm not in those conversations.

581
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 7: I'm not in the building. I don't know, mindset of

582
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 7: the front office, the scouting department.

583
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 6: It's a lot, it's a lot.

584
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 7: But as a player, you know, regardless of what they're

585
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 7: doing in the front. What I've always said was I'm

586
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 7: here to play ball. You know, I'm here the ball

587
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 7: until somebody pulls me out. I remember somebody pulled me

588
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 7: out when I was close to some incentives suit once

589
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 7: upon a time. That's a whole different conversation, Isn't it

590
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 7: Like I'm drifting.

591
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 4: That's actually right up our alley. If we want to

592
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 4: go down this path today.

593
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 6: I am drifting. I mean, we need a little excitement

594
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 6: this late in the.

595
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 7: Season, right Well, I digress. I won't even bring it up,

596
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,479
Speaker 7: but hopefully you know, as a player, man to a man,

597
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 7: these guys have the mindset of one.

598
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,959
Speaker 6: I have to compete, you know. That's what I was

599
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 6: born to do.

600
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 7: I do it every single day, and that's what I'm

601
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 7: going to do to finish this season.

623
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 2: a lot, you know. I just I really believe that,

624
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 2: and that you can find out the true character of

625
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 2: a lot of your guys. You think you have the

626
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 2: right culture, Well you're going to find out for sure

627
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 2: with some guys if they have the right things that

628
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 2: are inside of them. Because you've got to be somebody

629
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 2: who is internally motivated here because there's no external motivation,

630
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 2: there's no postseason, there's none of that. The motivation has

631
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 2: got to be within. And then also, you know, as

632
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 2: as a player, we said this before. You know the

633
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 2: financial implications, that's the reality of it. And fortunately you're

634
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 2: playing some teams that are kind of in the same boat,

635
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: but yeah, you know, are they in the same boat emotionally?

636
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 4: I don't know. We'll see what was.

637
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 2: Your worst season that you're a part of my probably

638
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 2: my rookie season eighty nine. Yeah, Yeah, it was just

639
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, you're just into the NFL,

640
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 2: which is very difficult just because it's a you know,

641
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 2: college you were playing ten to eleven games. Then all

642
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 2: of a sudden you go in the NFL and you're

643
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 2: playing preseason games and then sixteen games at that point.

644
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 2: Now it's seventeen and it's a lot, and it just

645
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 2: takes a toll on the body. And then we had

646
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 2: essentially a lame duck head coach and Joe Walton who

647
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 2: was let go at the end of the year, and

648
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 2: then you're four and twelve that year, yeah, we weren't

649
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 2: very good. Weren't very good. And then under Bruce Coslet.

650
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 2: The years after that in New York pretty good, and

651
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 2: then here obviously with the newness of nineteen ninety five

652
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 2: and the expansion team, even though we weren't winning a

653
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 2: lot of games, and we knew that we were building

654
00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 2: something and it was difficult in ninety five, but we

655
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 2: knew that we we were playing for more than just

656
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 2: ninety five. We were playing for ninety six and ninety

657
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 2: seven and ninety eight, ninety nine, because we were trying

658
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 2: to establish something and to build something.

659
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 4: It was just no, there's no history. Yeah, I had

660
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 4: to build it, yep.

661
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 2: So so that part of it was good, and that

662
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 2: you know, you never really went into a game thinking, wow,

663
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 2: you know, we're mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

664
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 4: We never felt that way because we knew that there.

665
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 2: Was a there was something bigger that we were after,

666
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 2: and that was something bigger in the future.

667
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 4: Right, that's a longer term look at that point.

668
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 2: Now, though, I mean, it's different now because there is

669
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 2: history here well, and you know, look, the expectations of

670
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 2: this team this year were high, and with high expectations

671
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 2: comes either great satisfaction or a great disappointment. And right now,

672
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 2: it's great disappointment and can you can you minimize the

673
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 2: amount of disappointment. It'd be very difficult to do that,

674
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 2: I mean because even if you win the remaining five games,

675
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,479
Speaker 2: it's like, uh, you'd feel better about it, but it's

676
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 2: the same token you'd be like, ah, especially with your

677
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 2: quarterback on IR and all of that to kind of

678
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:18,320

692
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 2: to the Jaguars running back with us this evening Jaguars

693
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 2: Titans rivalry, and it's fairly rare that both.

694
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 4: Teams are so far out of a race.

695
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 2: It's usually one team's kind of near the top, and

696
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 2: Tennessee has a lot of times been that team. Clearly,

697
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 2: that's like nine and seven, they're on the cusp. They're

698
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 2: a wild card team. They had a nine and seven

699
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 2: year where they missed the playoffs at one point. And

700
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 2: then of course the year a couple of years ago,

701
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 2: the Jaguars overtook Tennessee. They were injured down the stretch.

702
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 2: Jaguars kept winning games, the Titans kept losing them, and

703
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 2: like they're both in the mix, and that this the

704
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 2: last time it's been this bad. It's twenty fifteen. Jacksonville

705
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,800
Speaker 2: finished that season five and eleven. Tennessee finished three and

706
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 2: thirteen that year. That's the last time both teams.

707
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 4: Were this bad. This laid into it.

708
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 2: It's if you look at around the league, I mean,

709
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 2: it's the worst bottom of the division that there is

710
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,720
Speaker 2: in the National Football League. I think the only ones

711
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 2: that you would probably say are in there the New

712
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 2: York Jets, New England Patriots, which they have six combined wins,

713
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 2: but the Jaguars Tennessee at five they take the cake.

714
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 4: Not very good.

715
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,959
Speaker 2: I mean Dallas and New York where they see east,

716
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 2: there's seven combined wins Dallas, Dallas five and seven Giants

717
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,479
Speaker 2: to inten Jackson Titans right now, they got that title. Oh,

718
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 2: NFC South stinks. That's an entire divisions terrible. The leaders

719
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 2: are six and sick. Correct, But the two bottoms how

720
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:47,320
Speaker 2: many wins.

721
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 4: Four and eight and three and nine, so seven total? Exactly?

722
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 4: You're right.

723
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 2: Not good, not good, coach, not good. Point differential? Is

724
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 2: that the worst point differential in the National Football League

725
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 2: that the Jaguars have, Wars and Tennessee both at minus

726
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 2: one hundred and eleven. The only team that is worse

727
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 2: the Carolina Panthers at minus one hundred and forty nine.

728
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 4: Thanks.

729
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, that's a wow. And they've got three wins.

730
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 2: Though they do three wins, they do minus one hundred

731
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:26,280
Speaker 2: and forty nine point deferential. That is not good.

732
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 4: No, that's where we are.

733
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 2: I mean, it's week fourteen, and this is going to

734
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 2: be it's different, you know, it's it's kind of different worlds.

735
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 2: Jaguars in year three of this head coaching regime, and

736
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 2: they've got a quarterback who they've already extended. They've got

737
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 2: key players they've already extended around him on defensive side

738
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 2: of the ball too. Tennessee's got a first year head coach.

739
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 2: They've got a quarterback they still want to make sure

740
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 2: is the guy moving ahead, and he's got five games

741
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,040
Speaker 2: left to try to prove that down the stretch. And

742
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 2: it's just a newer world. So they're looking more like, Okay,

743
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 2: let's build something to go into this next season, the

744
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 2: moving ahead. There are so many questions around the Jaguars

745
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 2: after this season. Well, the vision and the Tennessee's vision

746
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 2: is kind of like what the Jaguars were ninety five

747
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 2: that I was talking about.

748
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 4: You look into the future, you know.

749
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 2: But there's still, you know, some questions with you know,

750
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 2: Kyleahan as their head coach and Will Levis as their quarterback.

751
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 2: But you if you look at Will Levis, the one

752
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 2: thing that has been I think for me, if I'm

753
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 2: a Tennessee Titans fan encouraging about him, is that you

754
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 2: go two weeks ago against Washington, he got I mean

755
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 2: not Washington, Houston, he got sacked a bunch, and he

756
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 2: was able to really stand tall in the pocket even

757
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 2: after he was harassed a bunch and standing there make throws,

758
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 2: which there's a lot of guys that they can't do that.

759
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 2: I mean kind of once they get off the mark,

760
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 2: then then the rest of the game they're off the mark.

761
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 2: But he was able to kind of still stand in

762
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 2: there and make the throws and make some deep throws

763
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 2: that were impressive. You know, if you look at the

764
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 2: way he's trending. Early in the season, he started out

765
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 2: and he didn't look very good. I mean he was

766
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 2: quite honestly, he was pretty pretty bad. And then he

767
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 2: missed I think three games in the middle of the season,

768
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:20,439
Speaker 2: and then since then he missed Buffalo, Detroit and New

769
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 2: England games, and then ever since he's come back from that,

770
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 2: he's been a lot better. His passer rating over the

771
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 2: last couple of games has been about one hundred, so

772
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,959
Speaker 2: he's been pretty good. So Jaguars better get ready because

773
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 2: I think he's feeling good about himself. The Tennessee Titans

774
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 2: are feeling good about being at home, and the Jaguars are,

775
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 2: you know, playing with a backup quarterback and haven't been

776
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 2: eliminated you know, So it's gonna be a it's gonna

777
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 2: be a really interesting game because you know, here's a

778
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 2: game that's all about want.

779
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 4: Yeah right, you know.

780
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 2: When I say want, who wants to win? Who wants

781
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 2: to play? Who's willing to do all the things that

782
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 2: are not easy to get to win? You know, the

783
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 2: the gritty, the tough, the things that hurt. Who's willing

784
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 2: to do that? Who wants to do that?

785
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 4: Is it a.

786
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 2: Jaguars team that has a lot of questions going forward?

787
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 2: Or is it a Tennessee Titans team going forward that

788
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 2: is looking for some answers and solutions but kind of

789
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 2: had they have a vision in place? We'll see, we'll

790

Speaker 2: find out. Sunday at one o'clock. We're back in a

Speaker 2: Usually I'm a ten o'clock night night guy. I may

795
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 2: watch it back with more at the moment. It's the

796
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,720

Speaker 4: So Fred Taylor this week, proud of the Jaguars running back.

804
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 2: We'll get to the Jaguars Titans final thoughts coming up.

805
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 2: But tonight a massive game in the NFC Norrith on

806
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 2: Thursday Night football. The nine in three Green Bay Packers

807
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 2: meet the eleven and one Detroit Lions at Ford Field.

808
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 2: And this is what everybody's been waiting on in First

809
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 2: of all, a good Thursday night matchup. Second, this matchup

810
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 2: between division rivals in December. Big, it's it's a well

811
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 2: it's a division game. And if the league tries to

812
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 2: put more and more of the division matchups in the

813
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 2: month of December. You know, we were talking about point

814
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 2: differential and how Carolina and the Jaguars and Tennessee are

815
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 2: real bad point differential. How about Detroit at plus one

816
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 2: point eighty. I think that might be best at the

817
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 2: National Football As I said, they had about fifty of

818
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 2: those against US, uh right, well against were there they

819
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 2: were plus forty six, They were plus.

820
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 4: Forty six exact gets the Jags plus one eighty overall.

821
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 4: Oh man, Yeah.

822
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 2: That was that was a painful game. Painful game, worst

823
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 2: loss in Jaguars history. It was literally glad somebody took

824
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,240
Speaker 2: the mantle from the ninety five.

825
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 4: Team already glad. Really, I'm not. I'm not, but I'm joking. Obviously,

826
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 4: I'd rather that rest with.

827
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 2: An expansion team because then you can say, Okay, I

828
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 2: understand it. Of course, Detroit eleven and one, they are

829
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 2: the current number one seed in the NFC playoff race

830
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 2: right now in Green Bay is the second wild card team,

831
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 2: the sixth seed currently at nine and three and three

832
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,240
Speaker 2: teams are in the mix from the NFC North. Of course, Detroit,

833
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,879
Speaker 2: Minnesota is the five seed at the moment in green

834
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 2: Bay six. I think that the head coach of Minnesota

835
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 2: helped me out on the name drawn a blank, Kevin O'Connell.

836
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell, I mean him and and Dan I think

837
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 2: our coach of the year Canada, Dan Campbell. And the

838
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 2: reason I say that is, I mean, first of all,

839
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 2: Dan Campbell's done a tremendous job and he's he's fun

840
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 2: to watch, he's fun to listen to. His response about

841
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 2: not having any class about how he drinks wine out

842
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 2: of the bottle was classic. Love him, his players love him.

843
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 2: But Kevin o'conn on the job that he's done with

844
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings without really a starting quarterback of.

845
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 4: They got yeah, I mean, it's amazing, you know.

846
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 2: And the crazy thing is is that, you know, the

847
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:39,359
Speaker 2: the NFLPA has this survey that they do with all

848
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 2: the players around the National Football League and it's kind

849
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 2: of a survey of where a team ranks at, you know,

850
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 2: the food, the facilities, et cetera, et cetera on down

851
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 2: the line, and the Minnesota Vikings always come back very

852
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 2: high in all those ratings. And I think a big

853
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 2: part of that is the job that Kevin O'Connell does

854
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 2: as head coach. And for him to do what he's

855
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 2: been doing with different quarterbacks is impressive. From Kirk Cousins

856
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:15,959
Speaker 2: to now Sam Darnold to who knows it may be

857
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,479
Speaker 2: the quarterback formerly of the New York Giants at some point,

858
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:26,880
Speaker 2: Dan Jones, you know, Sunday one o'clock, Eastern Jaguars, Titans.

859
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 4: Who wants it? Who wants it?

860
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 2: That's the story. I think that's it. Who's got the want.

861
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 2: Who's got the wont you know? Last year you would

862
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 2: have thought that the Jaguars had the want and that

863
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 2: season finale with an opportunity to clinch a playoff spot

864
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 2: if they beat the Tennessee Titans in Tennessee. The Tennessee

865
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 2: Titans had more want. They beat them and an eliminade

866
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 2: the Jaguars from the playoff and concluded the most arguably

867
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 2: the most disappointing conclusion of the season ever where they

868
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 2: lost five out of the last six six games. And

869
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 2: so yeah, this game is about one just like that

870
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 2: one was last year. Tonight, Jaguars All Access on Fox

871
