1 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Doug Peterson Show, brought to you by 2 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:10,039 Speaker 1: the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. J. T. 3 00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: Shadrick and former Jaguar Jeff Logoman discussed the latest Jaguars 4 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: news with the head coach. That Doug Peterson Show starts 5 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: right now and welcome in. It's Week fifteen of The 6 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show. Week fifteen in the season meaningful games 7 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: in December. J P. Shadrick, Jeff Logoman and head coach 8 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson. And it's meaningful still, certainly because of the 9 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,599 Speaker 1: huge team win last week in Nashville. Trailing in the 10 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: game seven nothing fourteen seven could have gone the wrong 11 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: way right before half turnovers and points off turnovers. The 12 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: quarterback played out of his mind. I mean, all that 13 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 1: came together for a massive team win last week. Yeah, 14 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: it did, and it was um, you know, it was 15 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: exciting to see the defense play the way they did 16 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: create the turnovers. We talked about putting pressure on the 17 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 1: quarterback and and really a lot of the turnovers came 18 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: from from just that and then you know, punching the 19 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: ball out and um, and then the offense being able 20 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 1: to capitalize. You know on a lot of those takeaways 21 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: and and you know, we we we we talked quite 22 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: a bit too about the middle eight. You know, we 23 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: got the seven before the half and then and obviously 24 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: coming out in the third quarter and and um, you 25 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: know we had to kick off return for the touchdown, 26 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 1: but they got called back, but the offense was still 27 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 1: able to go out and take about seven seven minutes 28 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 1: or something off the clock and score again. So four 29 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: team points right there. Um, And and really again we 30 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: talked about complimentary football. You know, we've had flashes of it, 31 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: and uh, it was good to see, um, you know 32 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: our team do that last weekend. Boy, takeaways and points 33 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: I always kind of go hand in hand a little bit. 34 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: And twenty points off of those four takeaways, and the 35 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: number for the season twenty takeaway seventy seven points off 36 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: of the takeaways, and boy, you needed it in that game, 37 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: we really did. You know. It's one of the things 38 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: going into that football game, we knew they were really 39 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: really good run football team, and they can control the 40 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: clock and really control the game if they if they 41 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,079 Speaker 1: can run it and then and get points themselves, you know, 42 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 1: and score. And we just felt, um going into it 43 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: as well that if we can get the lead and 44 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: somehow maintain the lead and and get them out of 45 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: their comfort zone just a little bit, that that might 46 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: be be in our favor. And um, you know, who 47 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: would have thought that Trevor, you know, missing a couple 48 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: of days of practice would have gone out and played 49 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: the way he did. But you know, it's a credit 50 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 1: to him and his preparation and coach McCoy of getting 51 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: him prepared with just a day or two of preparation. 52 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: So do you let him not practice on Wednesdays? And well, 53 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: it's not the recipe for success, but uh, now it's 54 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: just a credit to Trevor. And you know, we make 55 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: sure that the guys are healthy, you know who can practice. 56 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: And I thought C. J. Bethard, who you know, our 57 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: backup quarterback, did an now standing job for two days 58 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: and and I was really in the mind frame of 59 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: playing that football game, and and um did a nice 60 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: job of geting our guys ready to go. And and 61 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: then Trevor took over and uh, you know, played played 62 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: as well as he did. I thought it was impressive 63 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: just from the standpoint of you would have never have 64 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: known that he had a toe bothering him whatsoever. And 65 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: credit to your training staff, to your equipment staff making 66 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 1: sure he's got the right equipment on that foot and 67 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 1: everything else, because literally when he took off and ran, 68 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: I mean looked great. Yeah, yeah, he moved around really well. 69 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: Um you know, and and yeah, like you said, you know, 70 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: the training room and the docks and and obviously some 71 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: modern medicine to make that thing not feel quite as 72 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: painful during the game can help. And and I've been 73 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: there with injury and played through it. But you know, 74 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: that's just a sign of of of a really true 75 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: leader of our team who can play through some injury 76 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: and pain. And uh, it's really sets a I think 77 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: a standard for for the rest of the guys. And 78 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: and and we have a we have a ton of 79 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: guys that played through injury. But I think it just 80 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: sets the tone that your quarterback and do that and 81 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: still play at high level. I think I miss spoke earlier. 82 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: I said a quarterback played out of his mind. Well, 83 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: this is his mind. I mean he's really settled in 84 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 1: now the last month or so. And a lot has 85 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: been made this week about that goal to go interception 86 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: in London, that being a turning point of sorts for 87 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: him and kind of maybe a revelation, hey I gotta 88 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 1: get my act together here and helped his football team. 89 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: But that certainly has been the case since then. He's 90 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: elevating his game. It seems like week to week so 91 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: out of his mind. No, this is what his mind 92 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: is right now. This is a good place to be. 93 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,239 Speaker 1: It is. And and you know, there's there's uh, there's plays, 94 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: there's moments, there's scenarios, uh individually that that sort of 95 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: kind of can wake a player up a little bit 96 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: in this league. Um, and there's games that can wait 97 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: teams up in this league. And I'm a big believer 98 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: of that. And and I do believe that Denver game 99 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: was something that really stuck with Trevor, you know, and 100 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 1: he really wanted to rebound from that and and not 101 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 1: let his teammates down. That's the type of competitor that 102 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: he is. And you know, he's had a lot of 103 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: success when he was even at Clemson, and you know, 104 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: and and listen, he's gonna face adversity. You don't go 105 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: through this game, uh and play as long as you know, 106 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: hopefully he does and then and then not go through adversity. 107 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: You know, it's we're all going to face it. But uh, 108 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: he's done a great job of handling that. And really, um, 109 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: you know, knock on wood, let's say, uh, you know, 110 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: playing playing pretty good football right now. The you have 111 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: so many good moments and you know, the chunk play 112 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: in the two minute drill to Christian Kirk, by the way, 113 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: great play design for the coaching staff, a little dump 114 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: off to Evan Ingram or Juwan chends up chipping Bayard 115 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: on the way out. But my favorite play of all 116 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: was taken a knee and then the defensive tackle comes 117 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: off and and hits Fortner under the chin in a 118 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: in ane, you know situation which was totally bush league, 119 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: and then Trevor immediately gets up into his face. I 120 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: mean to me, I mean that that's kind of a 121 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: sign that says, hey, look, you know, I'm I got 122 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: my guys, and then my guy's also got me and 123 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 1: that's not gonna happen. I love that. Yeah, you know, 124 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: it's just a great sign of of just your quarterback 125 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: who has a ton of respect and sort of admiration 126 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: for offensive line and and vice versa. And when and 127 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 1: when Trevor can do that and stand up for for 128 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: for anybody on the team, especially the offensive line. Those 129 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: guys are gonna go to battle, you know, for Trevor 130 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: and and um, you know, I get it the situation. 131 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: I mean, we just we just ran the ball there, 132 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: I think three straight times, got the first down, which 133 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: we needed the first down, you know, to to really 134 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,239 Speaker 1: ice the game. And I know, I know guys are upset, 135 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 1: and it's a it's a tough situation, and we have 136 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: to be as an offense and those situations be smart 137 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: and expect things from the defense. But for Trevor to 138 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,159 Speaker 1: really step in there and not back down, I thought 139 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: was a was a was a really good sign of 140 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: a leader and someone the guys can respect. Doug Peterson 141 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: Show continues. Let's move now to the Dallas Cowboys ten 142 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: and three. Of course you're very familiar with that organization. 143 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: We go to the Microsoft surface now for social media. 144 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: Question about the Dallas offense, and this is from att 145 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: Jack Shan two to five five. How is Dak Prescott 146 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 1: played this season for the Cowboys? How dangerous is Ceedee 147 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: Lamb on the outside that they have a running game 148 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: him to go with it too, But those two guys 149 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: especially can play. Yeah, you know what you've seen. I 150 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: think since the injury that DAC had earlier in the year, 151 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: you know, he's really come into his own and playing 152 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: playing really good football. I know there are some some 153 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: key takeaways you know, Houston uh created last week, and 154 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: some uncharacteristical things that the DAC did, But you know, 155 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: I think he's been playing really good, playing smart. Now 156 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: he's he's another quarterback that plays tough and physical and 157 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: and he can beat you with his legs and obviously 158 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: throwing the ball, and you know, it's it's it's and 159 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: Ceedee lamb is. You know, I think he's the benefit 160 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: of you know, they lost to Marii Cooper a couple 161 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: of years ago, and now he's he's kind of the 162 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: focal point of that receiving group and and he's dangerous. 163 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: We need to know where he is and where he 164 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: lines up, and he can be all over the field. 165 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: So it's a um, you know, it's a matchup that 166 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: um you know, we we we saw it with you know, 167 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: Derek Carr and Davante Adams earlier in the season, and 168 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: we're going to continue to see really good quarterbacks and receivers, 169 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: you know, combinations the deeper we go this season and 170 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: you know, hopefully uh, you know, in the postseason for 171 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: sure if we get there. This Cowboys football team, great 172 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: challenge for your team as a bottle well rounded as 173 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: a football team you're gonna face probably since the Philadelphia go. 174 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: As far as offense and defense and special teams, you 175 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: guys gonna have to be on it. Yeah, this is 176 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: a good football team. All three phases, even special teams 177 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: are really really good. You've got great players, good returners. 178 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: Now they're they're kicker is is outstanding? Um? And then 179 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: you know, defensively they're they they've created takeaways this year, 180 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: you know, only fumbles, but interceptions. Um, they're really good 181 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,719 Speaker 1: on third down, you know. And and and just a 182 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: uh a well coached team again. Coach McCarthy's got these 183 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: guys rolling. You know, this is really two years in 184 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,320 Speaker 1: a row now that they've they're playing like this and 185 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: kind of lights out and and it does it takes 186 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: you know it, It's gonna take a really good effort 187 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: by our football team. Um, you can't make a lot 188 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: of mistakes, you know, you can't. You gotta take care 189 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: of the football against these guys. Great pass rushers in 190 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: Mikeael Parsons and and you know tomorrow because Lauren, I mean, 191 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: these guys can get after you. And and offensive line 192 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: is is good. I know they've got you know, the 193 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: right tackle deal right now. But but offensive line is solid. 194 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 1: So you know, where's where's the weakness you know, in 195 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: in their team? And and uh, but I like, I 196 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: like where our guys are at. I like the way 197 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: we've been playing here the last couple of weeks. And 198 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: then should be a good game. Their defense, Dan Quinn, 199 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. And you talked about Lawrence. You also talked 200 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: about Michael Parsons. Is Michael Parsons maybe the best you've 201 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: seen on the edge this year? I mean, watching the 202 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: film on him, I mean, there's nothing this guy can't do. 203 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: When he wins at such a high rate, it's incredible. 204 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: This guy is extremely high motor. Um, he never quits. 205 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: He's got a great first step. Um, he can cross face, 206 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: he can he can bend the edge. UM, he can 207 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 1: chase from behind. UM. I mean you see every play 208 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: on tape and and UM, you know he's a special 209 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: player and we have to know where he's at obviously 210 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: where he lines up. But if you if you put know, 211 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: all your eggs in one basket on one side of 212 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: the field. There's number nineties standing on the other side 213 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: of the field and he's just as dangerous. So um, 214 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: our tackles are gonna you know, Juwan and cam Or 215 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: got their hands full this week. But but again that 216 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: we don't have to put them on islands. You know, 217 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: we've we've got you know, you put a tight end 218 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: over there. But again you see tight ends and backs 219 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: helping tackles, and these two guys are still getting to 220 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: the quarterback. So it's a it's a really good challenge 221 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: for us. Final thought, whether you here coach meaningful games 222 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: in December, that was a goal of this organization and 223 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: this certainly qualifies now to back of Tennessee. With four 224 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: to play, the Dallas Cowboys have a lot to play 225 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: for on their side as well. The environment should be 226 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: uh one of the old time highs of here at 227 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: the Bank, I think going into this game. So um, 228 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: but for all that to matter down the stretch the 229 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: next month, this game matters, right, It's it's one game 230 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: at a time, right, It's definitely a one game you know, 231 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,200 Speaker 1: mentality and and um, you know that's the way we 232 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,559 Speaker 1: approach each week and and you know, this is a 233 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: this is a big game for us again, just like 234 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 1: we talked about last week being a big game and 235 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: and sort of a must game, you know, and and 236 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: our guys feel that. And I really want the guys 237 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: to feel that pressure, you know, to feel um, the 238 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: big game environment, you know, especially around here, and and 239 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: it's it's it's all part of winning and and teaching 240 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: the culture of winning. And um, you know, our guys 241 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: are going to be excited. Should be a great crowd 242 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: from what I'm hearing, and and uh, I know the 243 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: Cowboy fans travel extremely well. Um, I've been a part 244 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: of a few of those games before, so it should 245 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: be a great atmosphere on Sunday. You know, how to 246 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 1: keep him quiet is to score early and often. How 247 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: about that. That's the plan. But it's easier said than done. 248 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: Thanks to the time co Appreciate it.

It was all basketball. 260 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: You gotta try out with the Buffalo Bills. You went 261 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 1: to college right there in Buffalo, and then just kept 262 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: building and building and staying in this college. You guys 263 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: any good in basketball? Um, we're working on that right now, 264 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna stay there two and seven to start, 265 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 1: That's what it is. But you've managed to to grow 266 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: your career really from from nothing. You weren't a football 267 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: guy at all. How did you get that first initial 268 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: phone call? And um, what was your mindset to, Hey, 269 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: let me let me try this football out? My mindset 270 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: initially in the beginning, and was you know, to be 271 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: honest with you, I really had nothing to lose by 272 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: giving it a shot. So, um, just having an open 273 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: mind going into it. Um, just having a growth mindset 274 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: through it all. And understanding that you know, everywhere along 275 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: the way there there might be conflict, that might be issues, 276 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: but pushing through and just being an open learner throughout 277 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: the process. So what did you weigh? Like, I mean 278 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 1: basketball player? I'm thinking were you a power forward? I 279 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: mean like Barclay or something. Yeah, it was about five 280 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:35,719 Speaker 1: and you're six seven. That's like tight end numbers right 281 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 1: down the line. I know, I know, but I had 282 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: to put on a little bit of weight just giving 283 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: the demands of my role and what I was asked 284 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: to do. But I'm I'm two sixty pounds now, okay. 285 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: So are you stilled out a little bit? A little 286 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: bit a little bit? So are you aware of the 287 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: guys that have done what you've done before you? That 288 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: guys that that played basketball in college, that made the 289 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: transition to the NFL? And if you do have an 290 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: awareness about them, who who are they? Tony Gonzalez first 291 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: one that comes to the top of the mind. Um, 292 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham and Tonio Gates, all those guys kind of 293 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: uh seeing their story and their journey and how they 294 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,079 Speaker 1: progressed and maintained and sustained a long career throughout the years. 295 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: That gave me motivation going into it knowing that, uh, 296 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: it's possible you left one out in the building. That's 297 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: gonna remind you of that too. Marcus Pollard's gonna knock 298 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: on your door here very soon. I think Marcus Parlett 299 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: is a brother for life. We talked about it all 300 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 1: the time, and he brings a lot to the organization. Obviously, 301 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: Chris works so funny. Those that you're a blocking tight 302 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: I mean basketball players that make the transition of football 303 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: are supposed to catch a ton of ball, And to 304 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: be honest with you, that was my mindset going into it. 305 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: But at the time, being at the top bottom of 306 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: the totem pole, you kind of had to figure out 307 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: a way to see the field. So for me that 308 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: was just um embracing the run, block and roll and 309 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: seeing how it has blossomed throughout the years is just, 310 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: you know, it's a good feeling. So how how how 311 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: do you grow up not playing football? Just not in 312 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: your family? Is that the area you grew up in? 313 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: What how does that happen? It wasn't a thought, you know. 314 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: The first ball that I picked up was basketball. Born 315 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: and raised in the Bronx from New York City, and um, 316 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 1: basketball is pretty big in New York City, so I 317 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: didn't really uh, it wasn't even a thought at the time. 318 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: I was just completely focused on basketball, even the idols. 319 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: Who who your idols and basketball? But growing up Kevin Garnett, 320 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: Shaquille O'Neil, Kobe Bryant, even not Lebron James, but I'm 321 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: talking New York basketball. Anthony Mason, Anthony Mason, I mean 322 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: he was that power forward kind of when I was 323 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: in New York. Anthony Mason, Patrick Ewing, all those guys 324 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 1: just that hard nosed uh style of play that kind 325 00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 1: of represented New York City basketball. Chris Mannards with US 326 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: Jaguars tight end second season with the Jaguars. Now and 327 00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: this team is it seems starting to find its stride now, um, 328 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: in the back half of this season, really the last 329 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: month plus, do you guys feel that way in the 330 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: locker room? And then how has this team grown as 331 00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: the even going back to the off season program, new 332 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: coaching staff, coming in offseason program, training camp, quarterback in 333 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: second year, everything that goes into that, it seems to 334 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: now be paying off in December right most certainly, And 335 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 1: I think um, just having that process oriented mindset between 336 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: you know, when Doug and his staff came in here too, 337 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,479 Speaker 1: now we knew that there. You know, challenges are inevitable. 338 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 1: We didn't really start the season or the first half 339 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: of the season the way we wanted to. But uh, 340 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: Doug preachers all the time to you know, we want 341 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: to be in a position to play meaningful games in December, 342 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: and that's where we are. So for us, the stakes 343 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: are high, the sense of urgency is high. But I'd 344 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: rather know other way. I kind of want to go 345 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: back just a little bit because to give people a 346 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: little background, you played for the Carolina Panthers, right, how 347 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: many years? For? Uh? Five years? So so give people 348 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: an idea real quick of your journey through the NFL. 349 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 1: Try out with the Buffalo Bills. Try out with the 350 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills in what year? In UM got cut in 351 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 1: training camp. H Shortly thereafter got picked up by the 352 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints and I had my first official practice 353 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 1: squad year with New Orleans Saints that whole year. Uh. 354 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: Following that year, UM had a great offseason, and following 355 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,440 Speaker 1: that year I made the fifty three and it's been 356 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,320 Speaker 1: trending upwards since with New Orleans. With New Orleans And 357 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: then how did you end up in Carolina? I got 358 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: cut maybe week five or week six into the New 359 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: Orleans season that I made the fifty three man roster, 360 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 1: and uh, the Carolina Panthers claimed me off of waivers. 361 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 1: And I was there for quite a while and there 362 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 1: for quite a while, and then you became a free agent. 363 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 1: You signed here as a free agent last year, and 364 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: you come into a situation that, uh was a little 365 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: unique last year, we'll say that, But how much fun 366 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: has it been this year? Getting passed later? Having gone 367 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: through last year, it makes you kind of appreciate just 368 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 1: the whole process of the league itself. Um, obviously last 369 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: year wasn't the most ideal situation for us as a team, 370 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 1: but uh, seeing and and having Doug and his staff 371 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 1: come in here and bringing the type of players that 372 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: he they're they've been able to bring in has been 373 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,399 Speaker 1: pretty exciting. You know, we have a great chemistry in 374 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,440 Speaker 1: the locker room and uh, guys kind of have a 375 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 1: hunger and a mentality to get better and take things 376 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 1: one week at a time. So I think it's a 377 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,479 Speaker 1: great culture, uh that we're building over there. All Right, 378 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: we'll come back in a moment. We're gonna get your 379 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: thoughts on the Dallas Cowboys defense. How about that? Can't wait? 380 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,880 Speaker 1: Break it down for us. We don't want the game. 381 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: We don't want to We don't want to JP, so 382 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: make sure your questions are appropriate. You know what's same 383 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: to you. It's a two way straight. I think you'll 384 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: keep us clean, that's for sure. Hey, this is the 385 00:18:52,640 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show on Jaguar's Radio. Welcome back. The Doug 386 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 1: Peterson Show continues right now, and we're presented by the 387 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. The Doug 388 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: Peterson Show rolls along or thanks to the Jaguars head coach, 389 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: joining us at five o'clock every Thursday here on the network. 390 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: J P Shadrick, Jeff Logoman, and Chris man Hurts Jaguars 391 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: tied in as the Jaguars face the Dallas Cowboys, America's 392 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: team coming in the Star, all the hype, everything that 393 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: goes with Dallas and all that. Hey, it's an NFL 394 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: team coming to town. Really, that's how you guys look 395 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: at it. And it's a as you said earlier, a 396 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: meaningful December game against a team that's performed pretty well 397 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: this year. This Dallas team overall ten and three, very good. Alright, 398 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 1: So let's let's touch on some of the personnel on 399 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: the defensive side, because it's a group that's rated very highly. Uh. 400 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: Certainly the second most sacks in the league this year's 401 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: tied for the second most takeaways in the NFL. But 402 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,399 Speaker 1: that pass rush is something special. Who stands out in 403 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 1: that group in the front seven for you most certainly 404 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: Number eleven microL Parsons and number Marcus Lawrence. Uh, those 405 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: are the two guys off the edge that that really 406 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: stand out, disruptors um and people that you definitely have 407 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 1: to have a plan for. I think it's pretty unique 408 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:23,399 Speaker 1: because having a tight ends perspective, you're involved in the 409 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:28,640 Speaker 1: run game, the past game, protection, run blocking, you have 410 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: safeties that you're blocking at times. So I'm I'm excited 411 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: to be able to have your perspective on this because 412 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys have really good players at three different levels. 413 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: Vander Esh the linebackers a good player, of the safeties 414 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: are good player, and obviously the edge players that you 415 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 1: talk about when you prepare for a game is tight. 416 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: How much film and how many different guys do you 417 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: have to watch just because you're blocking so many potential 418 00:20:54,760 --> 00:21:00,199 Speaker 1: different guys. Well, the mental aspect, we're watching hours of 419 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 1: film on a weekly basis, just studying tendencies, uh, studying personnel, 420 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: studying different packages based on who's in the game, whether 421 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: there's twelve personnel eleven personnel in the game. So it's 422 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 1: quite a bit to prepare for. But at this point 423 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: in time, it's just routine. And you, like, like most 424 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,120 Speaker 1: tight ends, your first job requirement and your strength has 425 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: been blocking. When you face a guy and you watch 426 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 1: a guy like Micah Parsons, what makes him such a 427 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 1: challenging guy to block? Well, I think a player like 428 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 1: him has all the traits that you would want in 429 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: an elite pass rusher in this league. Um, he's he's 430 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: fast off the ball, he has great get off, he 431 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: has great speed of power, he's good with his hands, 432 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 1: and more importantly, the one distinguishing quality that separates good 433 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: pass rushers from you know, great pass rushers is their motor. 434 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: Their ability to be in a relentless pursuit to the 435 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: ball at all times. So that's definitely something that jumps 436 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: out on film. But uh, we we have our work 437 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 1: cut out for us, but we'll be ready for There's 438 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: one thing when you when you talk about motor and 439 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: also with Michael Parsons, there's some guys that that just 440 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:12,400 Speaker 1: possess what I call an effortless strength when just when 441 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: they move their strong, they're not trying to be strong, 442 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: they're just naturally strong as they're walking down the hallway. 443 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: If you went and jammed them on the shoulder, you 444 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: don't move them. I mean, he's one of those guys, 445 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: isn't he. Yeah, those are things that you really can't 446 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: teach and that's what makes him such a good player 447 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: and um, such a person you have to have a 448 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: plan for. But at the same time, we have great 449 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: uh linemen, we have great tackles that that's able to 450 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: handle it and has proven it throughout the course of 451 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: you know, these past couple of weeks that it could 452 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: be handled. We talked with head coach Doug Peterson just 453 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: a few minutes ago and he talked about, well, you know, 454 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: we don't have to leave those tackles on an island. 455 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 1: Last time I checked the closest person to a tackle 456 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: the tight end. So don't give us the game plan, 457 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 1: but just just saying I just gotta have a plan. 458 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: But those guys that you guys work in tandem and 459 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: practice a lot. I mean, we see it during the 460 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: open media time. There's some drills. You and the tackles 461 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: are there together and and that really is a big 462 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: key obviously in this offense when you guys are working 463 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: in tandem with the tackles right, absolutely, and especially as 464 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 1: a tight end, like you said, we're we we have 465 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,439 Speaker 1: to know the run game in and out. We have 466 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:21,919 Speaker 1: to know the past game in and out. We have 467 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,439 Speaker 1: to know the protection game in and out. And that 468 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: can't be done without us and the offensive lineman being 469 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: on the same page. So a lot of detail goes 470 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: into that on a week to week basis. You know, 471 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: one of the guys we had a conversation earlier and 472 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 1: we were talking about Marcedes Lewis and Marcedes Lewis, do 473 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: you watch film on him? Do you happen to catch 474 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: any film on him? Is he one of the guys 475 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: that you've watched? Oh? Most certainly, especially when you know 476 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: we're preparing for a team that the Packers have played, 477 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: and you know you can't help but to notice and 478 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: and and take note of the type of player that 479 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: he is and certain techniques that he has, so he 480 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 1: has He's been playing this game for a long time, 481 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 1: so I think, uh, you know it's for a good reason, 482 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: and you know he's doing all the right things to 483 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 1: sustain a long career. I'll never forget you. And you 484 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: obviously remember Dwight Freeney, Okay, one of the best pass 485 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: rushers in the league in his day, hey day when 486 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 1: it was him and Robert Mathis with the Colts, who 487 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: we saw twice a year. Marcedes was the only guy 488 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: in that time frame that I ever saw that could 489 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: block Dwight Freeney one on one in pass pro tight 490 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:33,439 Speaker 1: end tight end blocking Dwight Freeney, I mean, it's just crazy, 491 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 1: to be honest with you, I think half of it 492 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: is a mentality. Half of it you just kind of 493 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: have to have a dog mentality and have that want 494 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: to to get to get it done. Sometimes where I matched, Um, 495 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,360 Speaker 1: you know, the average tight end is ranging between two 496 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,880 Speaker 1: forty and two sixty and the average d lineman could 497 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: spend from two sixty up to three hundred pounds. So 498 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: knowing that you just have to be on point where 499 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: your technique, your pad level of your hands and uh, 500 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 1: making sure that everything is perfect so that you could 501 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,439 Speaker 1: be effective at your job. Last couple of minutes with 502 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: you Chris Mann hurts with us in studio Jaguars tight 503 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: end and are you a division standings watcher? Do you 504 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: look at any of that stuff as a team or 505 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: personally do you worry about that or you're just worried 506 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 1: about the star on the helmet. We're aware of where 507 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 1: we stand in the division, but at the same time, 508 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: we kind of have a week to week approach as 509 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 1: far as our preparation. So for me, it's honestly, you know, 510 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: every week is in new week and the only game 511 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: that matters right now is winning this game against the Cowboys. 512 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: Have you Have you ever faced the Dallas Cowboys with 513 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: any team that you've been on Carolina New Orleans one time? 514 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: Did did you? Because I just go back to the 515 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: first time that I was ever a part of the 516 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: team was with the Jets and we went and traveled 517 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 1: to Dallas and played the Dallas Cowboys, and it was 518 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: back at the old stadium, you know, with the hole 519 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: in the middle of that was opened up. There was 520 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: almost a sense of awe. I think the first time, 521 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: the first experience that you have against the Dallas Cowboys 522 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: just because the Dallas Cowboys right as America's team. Do 523 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: you do you have a conversation with some of your 524 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: young players to just say, hey, just football games, Dallas Cowboys, 525 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: but it doesn't make them any different than the Tennessee 526 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: Titans or the Indianapals Coats. Do you do you talk 527 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 1: about that? Yeah? I think honestly, it's kind of a 528 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: culture now at this point, just just you know, um, 529 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: throughout the whole locker room and the coaching staff that 530 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: you know every week, you know, you kind of we 531 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 1: call it a nameless faceless opponent. Um. You know, at 532 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's about us and how 533 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: we prepare, uh, in our preparation and getting ready for 534 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 1: these guys and our assignments and our plays. But uh, 535 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: we're fully aware of the magnitude of this game, don't 536 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 1: get me wrong. But at the end of the day, 537 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: it's it's up to us, and it's about us and 538 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 1: how how we do our jobs and our assignments and 539 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 1: and uh being successful in this game. Excited for the 540 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: environment here should be packed house. I heard it's a 541 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: pack house, so even better. Feel probably gonna be a 542 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: playoff like environment. So, like I said, it doesn't get 543 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: better than that and in this alright, So but before 544 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: we let you go, okay, just uh a fun question 545 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: here the basketball game. Do you still play a little bit? 546 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta you play horse one on one? 547 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: Like asking for a game? What are you trying to do? 548 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: You still got game? I don't think I have nearly 549 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: as close as much game as I used to. I 550 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: mean that was eight years ago. Um, and ever since 551 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: I started playing football, it's kind of you start to 552 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: fall in love with it a little bit and just 553 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,679 Speaker 1: you know, forget about the basketball thing because it was 554 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: so long ago. But I watched you guys. Some guys 555 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: won't let you forget. Do you gotta get challenged to 556 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: a little one on one in the all season? I'm 557 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: not even gonna risk it at this point. I'm I'm 558 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: in my eighth year in the league. I'm just trying 559 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,600 Speaker 1: to see the next year, see the next week. So um, 560 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: I'll just be the bystander for the most all right, 561 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:51,160 Speaker 1: last question for me, scoring average, Jack Knisius. I think 562 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,320 Speaker 1: it was about eight points, eight points, nine rebounds something 563 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: like that. Rebounds good, Yeah, that's good. Yeah, a couple 564 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 1: reasons while you were there too, right, yeah, the last two. 565 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: So that was that was pretty good. It's pretty good. 566 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 1: So there you go. Not this year, but I mean 567 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 1: that's a different story. They're working on it though. It's 568 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 1: we're working. I just know how the locker room works 569 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 1: sometimes that everybody wants to you know, the former basketball player. 570 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: Of course, everybody thinks that they got basketball games. Everybody 571 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: wants to show you what kind of game they got 572 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: challenges a horse or one on one or or whatever. 573 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: Everybody's trying to make their mock five on five teams 574 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 1: in the locker room. So it's it's fun, it's entertaining. 575 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,720 Speaker 1: You get it every year, so it's good. I love it.

Now in the second year with the 588 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: Jaguars organization, seventh year in the NFL, and it is 589 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: a fantastic story and a guy who never played football 590 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,960 Speaker 1: until he tried out for the Buffalo Bills. That's amazing. 591 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden he's still in the 592 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: NFL and got a free agent contract here last year 593 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: and is a obviously a huge piece of this tight 594 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: end room for the Jaguars and in the run blocking game. 595 00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: And he's a really good blocker. Yeah, so it's one 596 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:55,040 Speaker 1: of he's you know, if you look at PFF rankings 597 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: of blocking tight ends in the league, he is one 598 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,719 Speaker 1: of the better tight end ends in the league and 599 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: for the Jaguars, extremely valuable. You know, you kind of 600 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 1: have two tight ends in the league. Now, you have 601 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 1: your inline guy who's more of a blocking tight end, 602 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: and then you have the dynamic move tight ends, and 603 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: he's that in line blocking tight end that extra offensive lineman, 604 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: but still having a guy that has the ability to 605 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: make some catches and and look, he's got six catches 606 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: on the year. He had six last year, so one 607 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: more will be a career high for him. Right does 608 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 1: have a couple of career touchdowns. I think the first 609 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: was that the first Trevor Lawrence touchdown pass was to him. Correct, 610 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,960 Speaker 1: that'll be a good trivia question. Yeah, And I think 611 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: he uh, I can't remember. We asked him about where 612 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: the ball went a couple of days ago, and he 613 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:48,719 Speaker 1: said that nobody kind of kept the ball and he 614 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: actually thought he should have kept it. He wasn't thinking 615 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: and Trevor ended up getting the ball, and which is good. 616 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it's look at least it ends up. But 617 00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: he was like, man, he goes, I should have kept that. 618 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,959 Speaker 1: Never gay up to Trevor. I might have. I mean 619 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: he probably could have sold it. Sure, absolutely, Trevor. How 620 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: much you want to give me for your first told 621 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: it to the quarterback?

Who knows what it really looks 653 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: like on game day, but that could that could be 654 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: something to watch up front for Dallas. Yeah, I want 655 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 1: to see how they line up, you know, I want 656 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: to see what they do. Are you gonna make some 657 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,720 Speaker 1: roster moves because Terence Steele add the a c L 658 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,920 Speaker 1: against Houston this past weekend? You know, will Tyron Smith 659 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: be activated off of I R which still hasn't happened, 660 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: although Jerry Jones said he expects it to happen. But 661 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 1: sometimes Dr Jones isn't always right. Yeah, he sometimes gets 662 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 1: a little bit of ahead of himself sometimes, But I 663 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 1: think that's a big question mark. How do the how 664 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: do the Cowboys line up with that offensive line? What 665 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 1: are they gonna do if they have Tyron Smith up 666 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 1: at left tackle? What will they do with the Tyler Smith, 667 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: their rookie that's been playing left tackle when they moved 668 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: in to guard. Could they move him to right tackle 669 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 1: to take over for the injured Terrence Steele, or would 670 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: they move adjacent Peters over there to write tackle? Or 671 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: would they play a Josh Ball who played there and 672 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,399 Speaker 1: steals absence last week? But he struggled mightily. So there's 673 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: a lot of questions to be able to uh ponder. 674 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: And I think as if you're a Jaguars defensive lineman 675 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: a defensive coach, you just prepare for the scheme, and 676 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 1: as a player, you study all of the guys on 677 00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: on the above list and just get ready because you 678 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 1: don't know who's gonna play. I just don't know. But 679 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: it's the Jaguars defense that got some takeaways last week again, 680 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: and Trayvon Walker will probably not play and practice yet 681 00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 1: right according to the injury report. You know, so Josh 682 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 1: Allen liked him to continue. Okay, got a sack, he 683 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: was able to get some pressure of this past game 684 00:34:53,719 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: against two inferior tackles in in Tennessee Arden keyts are 685 00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,239 Speaker 1: gonna have to play a bigger role, you know. So 686 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to watching this matchup this week, that 687 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:12,520 Speaker 1: that pit matchup, because when you play good football team 688 00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 1: and it always starts up front, and you've got to 689 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,879 Speaker 1: be able to do a good job to be able 690 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: to have a chance to win. And this this week 691 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 1: is no difference. And I can't wait to watch it. 692 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: I can't wait to experience the environment. I can't wait 693 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: to see how this young team reacts to the star 694 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,239 Speaker 1: and the moment. Let's come back in a moment. We've 695 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 1: got a social media question for Jeff Lagerman when we 696 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: come back, and I be honest with you, I do 697 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,439 Speaker 1: not remember what it is. So we're gonna we're gonna 698 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 1: wing it when we come back. This is the Doug 699 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 1: Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome Back. The 700 00:35:55,880 --> 00:36:01,440 Speaker 1: Dog Peterson Show continues right now. Welcome back. It's Week fifteen, 701 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 1: the Jaguars in the Dallas Cowboys coming up Sunday at 702 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: t i A Bank Field. As the Jags try to 703 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: walk down the Tennessee Titans in the a f C South. 704 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:14,160 Speaker 1: The Cowboys with a win would secure a playoff birth. 705 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: They're still trying to chase down the Eagles and the 706 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:21,919 Speaker 1: NFC East, and it's time now to go to the tablets. Yes, 707 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:27,320 Speaker 1: the Microsoft surface for a social media question for Jeff Lakaman. 708 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: Let's see what we come up with. This is at 709 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: Amy Hall and I know four. How come the Jaguars 710 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,399 Speaker 1: defense keep up the turnovers from last week? Why did 711 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 1: those disappear mid season? That's a great question. And if 712 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 1: you look at the pass rush of the Jaguars defense 713 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,719 Speaker 1: through the season, they hit a bit of a bit 714 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,240 Speaker 1: of a lull in the mid part of the season, 715 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 1: and so that I think that greatly impacts the ability 716 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 1: to get takeaways. Is how is the pass rush doing. 717 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: Early in the season, they were doing a great job 718 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,759 Speaker 1: because they were really stout against the run, set themselves 719 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 1: up in some great situations from a down and distant 720 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,879 Speaker 1: standpoint to be able to pressure quarterbacks and the takeaways come. 721 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,879 Speaker 1: And then over the last month and a half or so, 722 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: the pass rush has been a little off if you 723 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: think about it, going back the last week Josh had 724 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,840 Speaker 1: his last sack. I think it was October tenth. Prior 725 00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 1: to last week, Trayvon Walker had his last sack, and 726 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,960 Speaker 1: like October, the end of October, so he went the 727 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 1: month of November without a sack. So when you don't 728 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,120 Speaker 1: have the pressure, then you typically don't get the takeaways 729 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,880 Speaker 1: his defense. And then once you got against Tennessee, you 730 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 1: had an opportunity there uh at rushing the pass her 731 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:45,840 Speaker 1: late in the second half. You ended up getting the 732 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: arden key because you put them in a situation where 733 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 1: they're uncomfortable with snapping the ball to Derrick Henry in 734 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 1: a wildcat and he doesn't handle it, and um Tanny 735 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,320 Speaker 1: Hill with a rushed throw he was expecting a hot route, 736 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,719 Speaker 1: put them in a asking situation. He throws a ball 737 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,720 Speaker 1: to Robert Woods and Woods not turned around and Winger 738 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 1: ends up making the interception. So the pass rush, I 739 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: think is the real key pass rushing. The ability to 740 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 1: put the offense in an uncomfortable situation typically is when 741 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: you get the takeaways. And there have been times earlier 742 00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 1: this season where they've had balls in their hands and 743 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,839 Speaker 1: they haven't been able to bring it in or you know, 744 00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,440 Speaker 1: you've got to be able to make those plays when 745 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 1: they're presented to and That's that's what it's all about. 746 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 1: I mean, when you get pressure, when you get great 747 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback, or when you get the opportunity 748 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,200 Speaker 1: to be able to pressure the quarterback, then you can 749 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,879 Speaker 1: add takeaways to that. You know, Trayvon Walker now put 750 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,760 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans in a pass rush situation. They're keeping 751 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,640 Speaker 1: the tight end in on his sack, calls fumble, They're 752 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 1: keeping the tight end in and Trayvon beats him so 753 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:54,520 Speaker 1: fast that the tackle is literally trying to run to 754 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 1: get to him on the outside and literally with so 755 00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,360 Speaker 1: I don't know how he missed him completely. He literally 756 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 1: didn't even get a hand on Trayvon because Trayvon was 757 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:05,920 Speaker 1: so fast at beating the tight end. Then all of 758 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,879 Speaker 1: a sudden he gets to the backside of Tanny Hill 759 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,400 Speaker 1: and he does a great job of of that strip sack, 760 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,319 Speaker 1: you know, bringing that arm down, pops that ball out. 761 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,399 Speaker 1: But it was because they were in a passing situation 762 00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 1: that I think changed the tune a little early in 763 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,480 Speaker 1: the game. You know, obviously Jags were down seven at 764 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,360 Speaker 1: that point, and then the second one really changed the 765 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,719 Speaker 1: whole game. I think when when Shaq Coulderman knocked it 766 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 1: out of the hands of of Derrick Henry and then 767 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 1: set up the two minute drive put the Jags ahead 768 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 1: really for good. They never looked back from that was 769 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,080 Speaker 1: the That was the third one because you had interceptionable 770 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 1: and then wingered on the interception and then the shock 771 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:48,800 Speaker 1: caused fumble was the third one. And that's that's that 772 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 1: put Tennessee in the situation that they didn't want to 773 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,200 Speaker 1: be in. And you know, this week, if you're facing 774 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,719 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, if you can dominate an offensive line that's 775 00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 1: gonna be shuffled a little bit. I mean, that's the key. 776 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: And and I said last week that there's three guys 777 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:03,879 Speaker 1: that got to play really well, and I still believe 778 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,160 Speaker 1: the same applies for this week, and that's Royal Robertson, 779 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: Harris Devon, Hamilton's and fokos have to play really well 780 00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,760 Speaker 1: for this all for this defense to have a chance 781 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 1: at stopping Dallas, because you've got to neutralize Pollard and Elliott. 782 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,920 Speaker 1: If you don't do that, you're gonna make it extremely 783 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,319 Speaker 1: difficult on yourself to be able to keep up with 784 00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,720 Speaker 1: this Dallas Cowboys football team. Let's come back our final 785 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 1: thoughts on the quarterback and his play from last week 786 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 1: and moving ahead for this Jags team and our final 787 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 1: thoughts on the Dallas Cowboys and the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's 788 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 1: the Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio. Welcome back. The 789 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show continues right now. Doug Peterson Show rolls 790 00:40:55,719 --> 00:41:00,360 Speaker 1: along final few moments on this Thursday, Week fifteen, the 791 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,840 Speaker 1: Cowboys and the Jaguars coming up. J P. Shadwick with 792 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,240 Speaker 1: Jeff Logman had coach Doug Peterson with this the opening 793 00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 1: segment each and every week. A lot of talk around 794 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 1: the quarterback this week and that London game turning the 795 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 1: tide for him and his play has just continued to 796 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 1: grow over the last month plus and it really came 797 00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,280 Speaker 1: to a head last week in Tennessee. Three hundred sixty 798 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,319 Speaker 1: eight yards of career high, three touchdown passes and a 799 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 1: touchdown run where he stipped armed a guy and he 800 00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 1: probably shouldn't have like he actually said, he should have 801 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 1: handed it off. It wasn't even a quarterback run option 802 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 1: in that play, but just like muscle memory, it sounded like, 803 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,479 Speaker 1: hey it worked out. Did he get Player of the week, 804 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 1: A f C Player of the Week off that was 805 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,840 Speaker 1: It's well deserved and he got uh also named on 806 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 1: PFS Player Team of the Week, which they picked somebody 807 00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:56,920 Speaker 1: from each position, both offensively and defensively for his performance there. Now, 808 00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,920 Speaker 1: the crazy thing is is that that was his first 809 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 1: win in the division outside of the Indianapolis Colts. Think 810 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:10,360 Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, that's that's his third career win in 811 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 1: the a f C South and it's the first time 812 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:17,360 Speaker 1: he beat somebody as a quarterback besides the Indianapolis Colts. 813 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:20,879 Speaker 1: I mean so and everything seems to be, you know, 814 00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: a stepping stone because not only was that big for him, 815 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 1: but also it ended an eight fourteen game a f 816 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:33,480 Speaker 1: C South Road losing streak that was ended in Tennessee. Well, 817 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,799 Speaker 1: guess what, it's time to snap another streak. It's now 818 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:40,320 Speaker 1: twenty straight losses against NFC teams for this Jaguars team. 819 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 1: They've got to break that skid. And we've been a 820 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,680 Speaker 1: lot of streaks. When you've been the first football team 821 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: in the NFL over the last two years, it's what 822 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 1: it is, right, I mean, you losing a lot of 823 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 1: teams in a lot of places. So hopefully that tide 824 00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 1: is turning as well. But the quarterback a big hand 825 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:57,800 Speaker 1: in that certainly. How you feeling about this one, Logs, 826 00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 1: I felt pretty good about now. Last week I really confident. 827 00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,720 Speaker 1: I thought the Jaguars matched up really well against Tennessee 828 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,120 Speaker 1: for a lot of different reasons. I think that this 829 00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,400 Speaker 1: is a tough matchup, but I think it's a winnable matchup. 830 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:12,960 Speaker 1: Going into Kansas City, I was like, boy, I just 831 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,520 Speaker 1: don't see how they're gonna beat Kansas City because Patrick 832 00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:20,360 Speaker 1: Mahomes and Chris Jones Kelsey, they're just too good. But 833 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,080 Speaker 1: against the Cowboys, when you watch the film of them 834 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:27,200 Speaker 1: playing the Texans, the Texans are not a good football team. 835 00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,880 Speaker 1: The Texans had that game one, but the only way 836 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:32,880 Speaker 1: the Cowboys were able to win it is they had 837 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,880 Speaker 1: to have a goal line stand and then they end 838 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:39,360 Speaker 1: up driving like yards to get the win. So look, 839 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,520 Speaker 1: if if the Texans can do that to the Cowboys, 840 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,680 Speaker 1: I mean, why can't the Jaguars do that to the Cowboys? 841 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,640 Speaker 1: And they're not perfect. Dak Prescott has been playing well, 842 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,080 Speaker 1: but he's got a few mistakes in them. And if 843 00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:59,040 Speaker 1: he makes some mistakes, if you still possession on special team, 844 00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 1: you know, when you play good teams, you gotta find 845 00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,760 Speaker 1: a way to get a little bit more kan City 846 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,640 Speaker 1: right surprise on side kicking. That was a way to 847 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,879 Speaker 1: steal a possession. They didn't cash it in though, didn't 848 00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,400 Speaker 1: cash in on it. But if you still possession and 849 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 1: cash in on you might you have some trickery up 850 00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 1: your sleeve. On special teams, can you get a kick 851 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:22,040 Speaker 1: return touchdown that's not a hold call, well not holding call. 852 00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,920 Speaker 1: And a taunt team, which, by the way, what were 853 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:32,240 Speaker 1: you thinking calla lanchas about taunting a kicker on I'm kidding, 854 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,480 Speaker 1: but can you imagine if if because the block was bogus, 855 00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:39,640 Speaker 1: I mean, the penalty on the hold was terrible, but 856 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,799 Speaker 1: that can that can flip a game as well. I 857 00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:45,840 Speaker 1: watched that play five or six times trying to find 858 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,920 Speaker 1: the hold. I still haven't found it, but I did 859 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:53,520 Speaker 1: see the taunt. So the Jaguars and the Cowboys limited 860 00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:57,000 Speaker 1: tickets standing room tickets actually the only thing left, so 861 00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,280 Speaker 1: it'll be a packed house. Get here early on Sunday. 862 00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,879 Speaker 1: That'll do it for our program tonight.
