Speaker 1: It is Thursday, October twenty. This is Jaguars Happy Hour,
Speaker 1: and now a guy who believes complimentary barbecue is winning barbecue.
Speaker 1: J P Cha, Do I want the platter? Yes? I
Speaker 1: want it all. Welcome in the Jaguars Happy Hour. I'm
Speaker 1: j P. Shadrick. It's Thursday. It's week seven. The Giants
Speaker 1: and the Jaguars coming up at the Bank and a
Speaker 1: busy two hours ahead. Analyst Jeff lock have been coming
Speaker 1: up shortly, we'll hear from him about this Giants Jaguars matchup.
Speaker 1: The defense with their hands full against the run this week,
Speaker 1: say Kwan Barkley, one of the top running backs in
Speaker 1: the NFL. The offense trying to build some momentum and
Speaker 1: they felt like they did a little of that last
Speaker 1: week in a losing effort in Indianapolis for the Jags.
Speaker 1: And then at five o'clock the Doug Peterson Show, we'll
Speaker 1: hear from the head coach coming up and get his
Speaker 1: thoughts on this matchup at the Bank. This week, the
Speaker 1: Jaguars continued preparation for this week's seven game. Today, Shaquille
Speaker 1: Griffin off to the side on the exercise bike during
Speaker 1: the open media portion of practice. The full injury report
Speaker 1: coming up and just a little bit. Defensive coordinator Might
Speaker 1: called well today said he still has confidence in the
Speaker 1: veteran corner. Oh, it's still there. It's still there. You know.
Speaker 1: They make plays, We make plays, but we just have
Speaker 1: to make more plays and we have a confidence that
Speaker 1: I can go back out there and do it. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's no loss of confidence in him. We're just ready
Speaker 1: for him getting to the shot. We'll see what happens
Speaker 1: on that injury report when it comes out a little
Speaker 1: bit later today. The challenge this week though, for the
Speaker 1: day for the Jags defense is running back say Kwan Barkley.
Speaker 1: Of course, defensive tackle Devona Hamilton this week explaining the
Speaker 1: running style. He's explosive, I mean more than anything. I mean,
Speaker 1: you can run the ball, he can juke, he can
Speaker 1: run you over, he can go around you. So it's
Speaker 1: just so difficult, so dynamic for the player. The Jaguars
Speaker 1: is a whole this year fared well against the run,
Speaker 1: except really for the Eagles game when the Eagles went
Speaker 1: over two d on the ground. Now to the offense.
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence earlier this week on the play designs by
Speaker 1: the offensive coaching staff and how they work different players. Open.
Speaker 1: They do a good job. Our staff is really creative.
Speaker 1: UM does a good job scheming things up and at
Speaker 1: the right time too. There's a lot of there's a
Speaker 1: lot of things that you know, we might have and UM,
Speaker 1: we decided not to call it, or we decided to
Speaker 1: just put it on the back burner for a week
Speaker 1: or two just because we don't feel like it's the
Speaker 1: right time or that we're ready to do that one yet.
Speaker 1: So you know that, I think we're really smart with
Speaker 1: how we do things and coach especially, so then they
Speaker 1: do a great job with Then, Yeah, it's fun seeing
Speaker 1: UM all those plays as they go in and you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's always cool to see the guys they
Speaker 1: put in different situations, different positions. UM, and obviously when
Speaker 1: they're successful, that's that's great. One of those play designers
Speaker 1: is offensive coordinator Press Taylor. Of course, he explains his
Speaker 1: approach when Doug Peterson goes forward on fourth downs, it's great.
Speaker 1: You know when you've got extra downs sometimes to get
Speaker 1: a first down. It's it's third and two, and you think,
Speaker 1: all right, if we just get half here or we
Speaker 1: try something, there's a good chance we got another down,
Speaker 1: So you can be aggressive in that mindset um in
Speaker 1: terms of scheme and things up, designing some plays um.
Speaker 1: But then you just know he's doing whatever it takes
Speaker 1: to win. He's trying to give us an opportunity to
Speaker 1: win the game at each situation. So that's that's fun
Speaker 1: to be a part of. It is fun, certainly a
Speaker 1: lot more fun when it works out, and they'll keep
Speaker 1: being aggressive. That's the nature of head coach Doug Peterson.
Speaker 1: Of course. Then we'll hear from the head coach now
Speaker 1: earlier this week on Wednesday. The Giants have finished in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter in a number of games this year,
Speaker 1: rallying from two scores down a few times this season.
Speaker 1: There are similarities between the teams, but for Peterson, it's
Speaker 1: all about the Jacks. There are a lot of similarities,
Speaker 1: you know, when you look at the scoring, you know,
Speaker 1: you look at scoring my quarter, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of similarities. They're both teams, I think. I
Speaker 1: think the number one thing that we just have to
Speaker 1: focus on is us, you know, and making sure that
Speaker 1: you know, we make plays and fourth in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: and we haven't done that well enough, you know, this
Speaker 1: year we're consistent enough, you know where where they are
Speaker 1: and and um, you know they're they're making those plays.
Speaker 1: They're in the right spot at the right time, and
Speaker 1: you know, and that's kind of way this lead goes.
Speaker 1: Sometimes the ball bounces in your favor and and and
Speaker 1: give them credit. They're they're in the right position to
Speaker 1: make those plays. Um, And that's something that you know
Speaker 1: each week that we we learned from ours and you know,
Speaker 1: try to be in position week each week to you know,
Speaker 1: to come up with the ball or to make the
Speaker 1: play that that wins the game. More with head coach

Speaker 1: us now ahead of this Giants Jaguars matchup. Good afternoon
Speaker 1: to your logs. Good afternoon, how are you I'm good.
Speaker 1: I'm doing really good. Okay, looking forward to this game
Speaker 1: this week. You know, have to skin here three in
Speaker 1: a row. Well, I mean yeah, and then you've got
Speaker 1: a good football team coming in here with a good record,
Speaker 1: and you kind of got um, I guess you could
Speaker 1: say this is the Tom Coughlin game. You know, you
Speaker 1: kind of got a little bit of a marriage there
Speaker 1: between the two organizations through Tom Coughlin. But it's gonna
Speaker 1: be interesting from the standpoint of I think the Jaguar
Speaker 1: is gonna play well. I'm gonna start out and say
Speaker 1: that right now. You're throwing that out there, so let's uh,
Speaker 1: let's dig into that. What do you mean by that? Well,
Speaker 1: what I mean by that is that this football team
Speaker 1: has played well across all spectrums of their team, but
Speaker 1: they just haven't been able to to make it happen
Speaker 1: a lot consistently to where all three facets of the
Speaker 1: game are playing well each week. You know, last week
Speaker 1: it was the defense that didn't play well. The week
Speaker 1: before that it was the offense, and Philadelphia it was
Speaker 1: the offensive giveaways and the defense a little bit as well.
Speaker 1: But if they just start making plays that are there,
Speaker 1: if they stop having the self inflicted wounds, so to
Speaker 1: speak of that. I think this team is a really
Speaker 1: good football team. It's been competitive in every game that
Speaker 1: they've played. And this Giants football team, when I watched them,
Speaker 1: I see a good football team because they're winning. But
Speaker 1: I don't see an elite team by any means. So,
Speaker 1: you know, is there a tone around here? Is something
Speaker 1: this week that makes you feel that? Or is it
Speaker 1: just time? No? I think I think it's it's just
Speaker 1: a you know, first of all, I thought last week,
Speaker 1: even though a lot of people don't look at it
Speaker 1: this way, I thought last week was a really big
Speaker 1: step for the quarterback and the offense as a whole.
Speaker 1: They showed that they could get a drive when they
Speaker 1: needed it, and that was I thought was outstanding. And
Speaker 1: and to be able to put to put together eight
Speaker 1: team play drives at crunch time, that's hard to do
Speaker 1: at any time, but to do it at crunch time,
Speaker 1: it's damn near possible, and they were able to do it.
Speaker 1: In the third and thirteenth throw that Trevor Lawrence had
Speaker 1: was it was a wild moment for me when I
Speaker 1: saw it and I was like, Wow, that was great
Speaker 1: play and that's just I think a sample of what
Speaker 1: he can do. I mean, I like the fact that
Speaker 1: he was willing to use his legs in some instances.
Speaker 1: Some cases he did not make the right decision where
Speaker 1: he rolled out into a sack and uh, and he's
Speaker 1: got a correct one thing. You don't ever run out
Speaker 1: of bounds and take a sack. Your offensive lineman will
Speaker 1: not like you for that. Throw it away, you know,
Speaker 1: don't take the two yard loss. But but yeah, I
Speaker 1: thought that that was a big game for him. I
Speaker 1: think the coaching staff did a phenomenal job of instilling
Speaker 1: confidence and success in him through the game because he
Speaker 1: was coming off what was two really tough performances. He
Speaker 1: regrets from the Philly game to the Texans game. As
Speaker 1: a pass her. Now, the Philly game was worse just
Speaker 1: because the number of of of giveaways that he had,
Speaker 1: But as a passer of the game against Houston wasn't
Speaker 1: very good. I thought this game, he was obviously highly efficient.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think Daniel Jones has ever come
Speaker 1: close to completing that type of percentage in his career yet.
Speaker 1: So kudos Trevor, Kudos to the offense. Shame on the
Speaker 1: defense for not finding a way to make a play.
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, yeah. And then there's the defensive
Speaker 1: performance last week. Matt Ryan stood back there and completed
Speaker 1: forty two balls, a career high for a fifteen year
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL. A lot of short things, but
Speaker 1: there wasn't a lot of consistent heat on him throughout
Speaker 1: the day as he got it out there, and then
Speaker 1: when it mattered for them, he finally through his longest
Speaker 1: ball of the day on his final throw of the
Speaker 1: day for the touchdown to win. Yeah. And then you
Speaker 1: can't have a rookie second round pick catch a ball
Speaker 1: over your prize free agent acquisition and from the year
Speaker 1: before cornerback. You just you just can't have that happening.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's it was not a great performance by
Speaker 1: Shaq Griffin. Now he's on the injury report with a
Speaker 1: back and uh, you know, so I don't know if
Speaker 1: he's gonna play or not, but you'd like to have
Speaker 1: the ability, you know. I can tell you if you
Speaker 1: have a game like that as an individual, you want
Speaker 1: to come back and and fight back. I prove it
Speaker 1: was a fluke, right, and uh, and he may not
Speaker 1: be able to with the back injury, So that's disappointed.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that he's disappointed in that. But he's got
Speaker 1: to play better. You know, he hasn't played poorly all year.
Speaker 1: But that game was not a good performance. I thought
Speaker 1: that the first game in Washington was not a good performance,
Speaker 1: especially when you gave up that one long pass that
Speaker 1: many people thought was all on him, but it wasn't.
Speaker 1: But it was partially on him. I think the responsibility
Speaker 1: of that big long ball to Terry McLaurin was on him,
Speaker 1: you know. And he's just got to bounce back. I mean,
Speaker 1: shock Shack's got some skills to him now, he's just
Speaker 1: got uh got home back in and find his groove
Speaker 1: and and get comfortable because he's a good football player
Speaker 1: when he's on his game. There are ten other guys
Speaker 1: on the field also, and there were moments that the
Speaker 1: defense just couldn't get off the field, and they had
Speaker 1: other opportunities to do so as well. Wasn't just that
Speaker 1: one play there was off the field. They could have
Speaker 1: had a more pass rush, they could have had a
Speaker 1: few other things happened. Well, there's the responsibility on the
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. Very shared from last weekend.
Speaker 1: Devin Lloyd didn't have a very good game at all,
Speaker 1: and that was his worst performance I think of the year.
Speaker 1: You had a lot of miscommunication and execution of some
Speaker 1: coverage you got beat and a lot of man coverage
Speaker 1: from situations and routes that you really shouldn't have gotten
Speaker 1: beat to where you needed to be up on guys better.
Speaker 1: And so the pass rush wasn't where you needed against
Speaker 1: the Colts offense that had given up a league I
Speaker 1: sacks on Matt Ryan. You didn't impact him and get
Speaker 1: him off of the spot at times. There was a
Speaker 1: couple of pressures early, but then he seemed to evaporate.
Speaker 1: And as a defensive front. That was the third lineup
Speaker 1: that the Colts had gone with with the offensive line
Speaker 1: in as many weeks, and so the consistency has not
Speaker 1: been there for the Colts offensive line and you weren't
Speaker 1: able to capitalize. That was disappointing. And then you also
Speaker 1: made mistakes. You had interference calls. You had a personal
Speaker 1: foul roughing the passer call again and uh, and the
Speaker 1: awareness from Trayvon has to be there and that you
Speaker 1: can't put your arm up to block a pass and
Speaker 1: then follow through and down like a hammer fist style
Speaker 1: on the quarterback and you're gonna get it's gonna get
Speaker 1: called and you have to be able to bring that
Speaker 1: arm down. And on that play, if if Trayvon just
Speaker 1: takes it right through the stern hum of Matt Ryan,
Speaker 1: he may not get up. That was the disappointing thing
Speaker 1: for me on that play was not so much that
Speaker 1: the hand coming down on top of the head, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, he got him. He got him, good,
Speaker 1: him shot, He got his money's worth, Okay, But man,
Speaker 1: if you just if you just drive right through him,
Speaker 1: it's a legal hit, and Matt Ryan, as old as
Speaker 1: he is, he may not get up. Like I said,
Speaker 1: this is Jaguars happy. R J. P. Shadwick, Jeff Flagman.
Speaker 1: The focus this week now on the Giants running game though.
Speaker 1: This is one of the top rushing attacks in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and it's Sae Kwon Barkley. He's fresh off his knee injury.
Speaker 1: He's looks like he looks like at least he's back
Speaker 1: to old form. He's number one of the league and
Speaker 1: carries excuse me, number two and carries number one in
Speaker 1: yards four touchdowns. Uh, He's pretty much everything to this
Speaker 1: Giant's off He's number one in in total yards from scrimmage,
Speaker 1: number two in rushing yards, and and he is um
Speaker 1: has the most carries per game of any running back
Speaker 1: in the league. He is the leading receiver for the
Speaker 1: Giants offense. I mean this offense runs through se Kwon Barkley.
Speaker 1: Make no mistake about it. He's back to the form
Speaker 1: that he had and maybe even a little bit better
Speaker 1: than he was as a rookie going back as he
Speaker 1: was the same play class I believe with Josh Allen
Speaker 1: and Sa Kwan. I think was the third overall pick
Speaker 1: in that draft, and he was kind of the toast
Speaker 1: of the town in New York and good football player
Speaker 1: now and he's healthy after having a couple of years
Speaker 1: where he wasn't. And if they don't have him on offense,
Speaker 1: I think they're struggling as an offense the offensive line
Speaker 1: that they have. It's okay. He got two first round
Speaker 1: picks on the outside, one of them from this past
Speaker 1: year from your university, the University of Alabama, Evan Neil.
Speaker 1: I think he was like the seventh overall pick in
Speaker 1: the draft. On the left side, you've got the Georgia
Speaker 1: guy who was a first round pick a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago Andrew Thomas, who is the number one rated
Speaker 1: tackle according to PFF, and watching the film on him,
Speaker 1: he's a really good football player. The two guards in
Speaker 1: the center or just got okay. And so I think
Speaker 1: this is a game that you know the strength of
Speaker 1: your game. Hopefully you get fought Akassi back. The strength
Speaker 1: of your defense has been your your big strong guys
Speaker 1: up front. You put your big strong guys against their
Speaker 1: guys in the middle that aren't as good. That's not
Speaker 1: the strength of their offensive line. You dominate that. And
Speaker 1: then you you shut down Barkley and that will not
Speaker 1: allow him to get going. And I think you've got
Speaker 1: a great chance. And once you stopped Barkley, now the
Speaker 1: one thing that you've got to be aware of Daniel
Speaker 1: Jones can run. That's the one thing I think that
Speaker 1: scares you more than anything about him. I think as
Speaker 1: a passer, he's got a capable arm, but he's not
Speaker 1: a he's not a great passer. The wide receiving Corps
Speaker 1: they're still trying to kind of figure out who they got.
Speaker 1: They're playing some rookies. They've got two guys listed as
Speaker 1: starters that were inactive last week, which is a very
Speaker 1: curious situation. Kadarius Tony and Kenny Golladay, both of these
Speaker 1: guys I think are on the trading block and that's
Speaker 1: probably why they're listed as starters. Arris Tony was a
Speaker 1: first round pick I think last year. Wow, talking about
Speaker 1: falling out of grace fast. That happened quick, for sure.
Speaker 1: We've got plenty ahead of course. In the next hour
Speaker 1: and forty five minutes will come back with the Jaguars
Speaker 1: offense facing this Giants defense and the Giants defensive line
Speaker 1: was some big time names and another first round pick
Speaker 1: who finally made a splash last week for Big Blue.
Speaker 1: The second hour, coming up at five o'clock is the
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show. We'll hear from the Jaguars head coach.
Speaker 1: P r I Productions, the official event production company of
Speaker 1: the Jags, has everything you need to bring your next

Speaker 1: and welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on a Thursday afternoon.
Speaker 1: Coming up at five o'clock The Doug Peterson Show will
Speaker 1: hear from the Jaguars head coach coming up, j P.
Speaker 1: Shadrick with Jeff Logerman, Joe Fortunado, Britt Reaver on the
Speaker 1: audio and video respectively, and the Jaguars and the Giants
Speaker 1: coming up in week number seven. The Jags at two
Speaker 1: and four, the Giants at five and one. They've rallied
Speaker 1: a bunch of times in the fourth quarter. The Jaguars
Speaker 1: have not. Unfortunately, they have not played well and late
Speaker 1: in games especially. They did finally on offense last week,
Speaker 1: as we mentioned just a minute ago Logs. They had
Speaker 1: that ten minute drive and change and eight teen plays
Speaker 1: and took the lead and ran the ball for the
Speaker 1: six most yards in a single game in franchise history,
Speaker 1: and did a lot of things pretty well on offense,
Speaker 1: taking what Indie gave them, of course. But now they're
Speaker 1: facing this giant defense and there's some names up front now.
Speaker 1: Dexter Lawrence has a sack in three consecutive games, big
Speaker 1: defensive tackle about three pounds. Leonard Williams is on the squad.
Speaker 1: Cavon Thibodeau finally starting to maybe find his way on
Speaker 1: the edge. He finally had a sack last week, a
Speaker 1: forced fumble on that sack fumble to end the game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, top top five pick. I think he was
Speaker 1: fifth overall. I believe out of Oregon. Good player. Got
Speaker 1: lots of burst, but still kind of trying to figure
Speaker 1: it out, like a lot of young pass rushers do.
Speaker 1: Trayvon Walkers in the same category. But the sack that
Speaker 1: he had, many people kind of felt that the game
Speaker 1: was already secure for the Giants. But nonetheless the sack
Speaker 1: calls fumble there at the end of the ball game
Speaker 1: of Lamar Jackson to kind of seal the deal, and uh,
Speaker 1: the big guys up front. Uh, for me, I'm the
Speaker 1: guy that I really like is Dexter Lawrence. And Dexter
Speaker 1: Lawrence is is more of a nose tackle than he
Speaker 1: is a three technique. But what's impressive about him is
Speaker 1: the size and the quickness, the movement skills that he
Speaker 1: has for kind of a nose tackle type of guy.
Speaker 1: He's got four sacks and I think doing large part
Speaker 1: because Wink Martin Dale, the defensive coordinator who they essentially
Speaker 1: stole from the Baltimore Ravens. Is a really good football coach,
Speaker 1: really good football coach, and I give him a lot
Speaker 1: of credit because the scheme that he runs, I think
Speaker 1: is creative, and he's also one of the one of
Speaker 1: the player's favorites. And how the Ravens let him go,
Speaker 1: it's kind of surprising. What are some characteristics of his
Speaker 1: scheme or schemes or is there truly one scheme for him?
Speaker 1: He'll he'll dial it up on it. He's gonna dial
Speaker 1: up a lot of blitz and I think he blitz
Speaker 1: is at a rate that's higher than anybody in the
Speaker 1: National Football League. He's gonna play a lot of different coverages,
Speaker 1: he's gonna play a lot of different personnels. He's gonna
Speaker 1: challenge quarterbacks to identify with these different personnel groupings that
Speaker 1: he has and uh and the other part of him,
Speaker 1: I think is that sometimes he can be unpredictable. You know,
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan used to be a coordinator that would do
Speaker 1: things that really weren't conventional and Martin Dale can every
Speaker 1: now and again pull something out like that as well.
Speaker 1: To where as a quarterback, there really there's nothing about
Speaker 1: the defense with the coverage that makes sense, and it's
Speaker 1: just something he's willing to risk, maybe one area to
Speaker 1: get or gain an extra guy and another area to
Speaker 1: to conceal something or to fool the quarterback. And that's
Speaker 1: sometimes can be very difficult and challenging for a quarterback.
Speaker 1: But the good thing is is that Trevor Lawrence has
Speaker 1: been very efficient in a lot of games. And if
Speaker 1: he can continue to be efficient and protect the ball,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some opportunities for some incredibly big pet
Speaker 1: plays in this game because of the number of man opportunities.
Speaker 1: Because JP, as you know, you can play all the
Speaker 1: man you want if you've got the if you've got
Speaker 1: the players to be able to cover man okay, and
Speaker 1: you can bring the pressure. And name me one New
Speaker 1: York Giants corner that you think is a really good player.
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you. I mean, that's kind of it, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the top of my head. I mean
Speaker 1: he's got a Dorry Jackson, who when he was in
Speaker 1: Tennessee was kind of a nickel guy. Uh. Fabian Moreau
Speaker 1: was kind of a journeyman a little bit not really
Speaker 1: viewed as being a starting quality high quality caliber guy.
Speaker 1: I think that I think the Jaguars match up well
Speaker 1: against the perimeter of this Giant's defense very well. So
Speaker 1: some big place, huh, I mean well, I mean I
Speaker 1: hope the longest past play of the years, like forty
Speaker 1: something yards, isn't it? Well, I hope. I mean, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying that's a it's a lock. I'm not gonna No,
Speaker 1: I don't lock. How many seventy yard touchdowns in this game? Three?
Speaker 1: You're going over kidding, I'm joking, but no, I mean
Speaker 1: it's would be nice. It's something that we haven't seen
Speaker 1: a lot of this year. There's been a lot of hey,
Speaker 1: take the easy, check it down. That's fine, but at
Speaker 1: some point this is a league of big, explosive plays.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna have eight team play drives every time. Well,
Speaker 1: and it also it'll be interesting to see what wink Martindale,
Speaker 1: which is kind of funny, right, I mean, when do
Speaker 1: you a TV show host show back in today game show? Right?
Speaker 1: So I mean, how do I guess wink Martindale? I mean,
Speaker 1: that's became his kind of nickname. His real name is Don, right,
Speaker 1: is it Don? Whatever it is Don Don Wink Martindale,
Speaker 1: But will he play the man in the blitz? Because
Speaker 1: what have we seen the last two teams do against
Speaker 1: Trevor and have success? They played zone Lovey Smith played
Speaker 1: a ton of cover to Gus Bradley played a lot
Speaker 1: of three deep zone. So will Martindale stick with what
Speaker 1: he does best even though the last couple of weeks
Speaker 1: what's worked against Trevor has been more of his own concept.
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be fun to watch and to
Speaker 1: see how he approaches this ballgame from a game planned perspective.
Speaker 1: Wells as play the season forty nine yards Week one
Speaker 1: at Washington and then they had a forty five yarder
Speaker 1: at Philly. So those are the only think that yeah,
Speaker 1: it sounds right, um, but hey, and you know at
Speaker 1: some point you gotta get it down the field and
Speaker 1: make some plays in those situations. Explosive plays are are
Speaker 1: everything you know when you know during the course of
Speaker 1: the game. In the broadcast Christian Kirk, by the way,
Speaker 1: on in the game broadcast, I always keep track of
Speaker 1: every drive and you know, number of plays, the number
Speaker 1: of yards, and then I always write down the number
Speaker 1: of explosive plays on every drive. And it's amazing how
Speaker 1: the drives that are scoring drives all have either one
Speaker 1: too or multiple explosive plays. That's how you score in
Speaker 1: this league and what we Many people have different definitions
Speaker 1: of explosive place. Mine has always been pretty simple. A
Speaker 1: run of ten plus and then a past reception of
Speaker 1: fifteen plus. That's that's an explosive place. Some people have
Speaker 1: twelve and in sixteen as the kind of the the
Speaker 1: bar the bars for both of those categories. But I mean,
Speaker 1: however you do it, explosive plays are always the key
Speaker 1: to getting the getting good offense and scoring points. And
Speaker 1: a lot of people will say, you know, be conservative,
Speaker 1: run the ball, move the change. Well, I mean that's
Speaker 1: fine in theory, but it's not very common that you
Speaker 1: can continue to string plays together because it's hard to
Speaker 1: do that. Explosives make the wheels go on, but the
Speaker 1: wheels on the bus go round and round GP and
Speaker 1: you didn't know that. And you can flip the field,
Speaker 1: you know, if you get a forty yard or boom,
Speaker 1: you're all of a sudden and deep in their territories.
Speaker 1: You don't know any kids get you don't have any kids,
Speaker 1: you know, so you've never had any kid. Joe done either.
Speaker 1: So you know, you guys have no idea what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. Well, Joe, I mean, Joe will stay at
Speaker 1: home and each Cheetah was and watch kids programming sometimes,
Speaker 1: so he probably knows. Your point is an explosive play
Speaker 1: can flip the field and and you know, instead of
Speaker 1: three or four carry, boom, you're twenty yards and you're
Speaker 1: into their territory and here we go. And the disappointing
Speaker 1: thing I think from a Jaguars explosive play standpoint this
Speaker 1: pass game is that there was one play in particular
Speaker 1: that wasn't It wasn't explosive play, but it wasn't as
Speaker 1: explosive as it should have been. Do you know which
Speaker 1: one I'm talking about? Which one? Tell us the Travis E.
Speaker 1: T N play? For like yards? It looked like he
Speaker 1: had the step at first, and then the safety kind
Speaker 1: of came over and cut off the angle at the end.
Speaker 1: What happened there? Okay, Well, I mean, what does Travis E.
Speaker 1: T N always been through high school and college fast
Speaker 1: the fastest guy on the field. Has he ever had
Speaker 1: to face guys that run to same speed as him?
Speaker 1: Probably not not much, if if at all. Right, So
Speaker 1: when Travis has been in the open field before like that,
Speaker 1: he didn't have to do anything different, but then just
Speaker 1: run if if he does something. And when you talk
Speaker 1: to Fred Taylor this week, okay, because I know you've
Speaker 1: got some things going on with pre and post, Okay,
Speaker 1: you need to ask Fred's countdown to kick off that
Speaker 1: starts at noon on the Jaguars Radio Network's Sunday before.
Speaker 1: You need to ask Fred what he could have done
Speaker 1: differently on that run. And Fred will tell you two things. One,
Speaker 1: he could have threatened the cutback or the as he
Speaker 1: was running, which would have been the defender's left shoulder.
Speaker 1: He could have threatened the defender's left shoulder to make
Speaker 1: him turn his hips in some fashion to slow down.
Speaker 1: Or he could have given him the old Fred Taylor
Speaker 1: dead leg which makes him kind of stutter for a second,
Speaker 1: and then just kept on rolling and accelerated away from him.
Speaker 1: It would have been a house call, but a learning
Speaker 1: experience for a young player, even though he's in his
Speaker 1: second year. This is essentially Travis's rookie year. But that
Speaker 1: could have should have whipped been I think a touchdown.
Speaker 1: But he had a great game, by the way, right, Okay,
Speaker 1: there it is there, just stutter do anything to disrupt
Speaker 1: the defensive back safety from just running flat out. That's
Speaker 1: all you had to do. I mean beautifully blocked by
Speaker 1: the way, which Christian Kirk got a phenomenal block. The
Speaker 1: safety inserts he comes in late and Christian Kirk goes
Speaker 1: in there and digs him out. He actually gets two
Speaker 1: blocks on the play because he blocks the safety and
Speaker 1: then he actually blocks well the backside linebacker kind of
Speaker 1: runs into him, but it still goes down as the
Speaker 1: second block. I mean, kudos to the wide receivers. I
Speaker 1: thought they had an excellent blocking day. Another long run
Speaker 1: in the game that Travis E. T N had, it
Speaker 1: was a Jones that got a really nice block digging
Speaker 1: a safety out. That one. It was Christian Kurt And
Speaker 1: by the way, the tight ends man Hurts Man Hurts
Speaker 1: is doing a great job block and the sixty one
Speaker 1: yard or by Jamachael Hasty Chris Man Hurts absolutely man
Speaker 1: handled the guy on that side of the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 1: And also the backup tight end Luke Ferrell did a
Speaker 1: great job and there was an unbalanced look you had
Speaker 1: the two tackles over there. Cam did a great job
Speaker 1: him and Juwan So. I mean, I love the way
Speaker 1: they're blocking right now up front. And that's why another
Speaker 1: reason why I feel really good about this game, because
Speaker 1: I the Giants have two pretty good players on the inside, linebackers,
Speaker 1: guys on the edge against the run. I think the
Speaker 1: Jaguars will be able to have some success in JP.
Speaker 1: What's the best way to hit explosive plays as an offense?
Speaker 1: The mo successful way of hitting explosives? It's a quiz.
Speaker 1: I'm testing your football knowledge. I mean, well tell me.
Speaker 1: Why don't you just tell us the answer. You're not
Speaker 1: gonna try to get no play action? Thank you? Are
Speaker 1: you run the ball with success? Play action? Tom Coughlin
Speaker 1: was set that all for years JP. You didn't pay attention.
Speaker 1: Doug Bron said that for years. Dog Peterson will tell
Speaker 1: you play action, play action. I like it, but you
Speaker 1: have to establish a run to make the play action bite.
Speaker 1: You don't have to you don't have to dominate the
Speaker 1: run game for play action to work. But you have
Speaker 1: to have a realistic threat of a run game for
Speaker 1: play action to work. And that's all you need. And
Speaker 1: Travis E. T n right now, I guarantee you coordinators
Speaker 1: around the league that are preparing for The Jaguars are
Speaker 1: respecting and honoring number one skill set, which is going
Speaker 1: to allow some play action to happen. Got to hit them,
Speaker 1: Gotta hit those open guys too, and that's the next
Speaker 1: step which we've a little bit earlier in the season. Hey,
Speaker 1: plenty ahead will come back in just a little bit
Speaker 1: with the injury report whenever it comes out officially, has
Speaker 1: not come out yet from the Jaguars pr staff as

Speaker 1: all over the place. Yeah, so we're excited to catch
Speaker 1: up with him. The full podcast coming up. He just
Speaker 1: did he just drive in and do the nvie didn't
Speaker 1: know he did not. He's a sin and he lives
Speaker 1: in our area which is pretty wild, so but golf involved.
Speaker 1: So he's got a lot going on on both sides.
Speaker 1: So well, good for him, he's he's an excellent broadcaster. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So we'll get his insight to the Giants coming up
Speaker 1: on the Official Jaguars podcast network and on content to
Speaker 1: Kickoff coming up a little bit later this weekend. So
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars injury report, it has not come out
Speaker 1: officially today yet. I have not seen Thursday's update. But
Speaker 1: here's what we had yesterday. Jamal Agnew did not practice
Speaker 1: yesterday with a knee issue. Shaq Griffin was out with
Speaker 1: a back issue, and as we said at the start
Speaker 1: of the show, he was off to the side at
Speaker 1: least in the open part of practice today on an
Speaker 1: exercise bike on the side. Was not in the stretch
Speaker 1: today for the Jags, there were four players limited yesterday
Speaker 1: fully fought Akassi with the quadriceps. Devon Hamilton a foot issue.
Speaker 1: We heard from him earlier on this show. Marvin Jones Jr.
Speaker 1: With a hamstring limited. He's feeling good, he said in
Speaker 1: the locker room today. And then for you Lucan with
Speaker 1: a calf injury. Was that limited yesterday? Calf for a
Speaker 1: quad calf It says for Fourier for he's got the quade.
Speaker 1: So when we get the Thursday update will pass that
Speaker 1: along as well. But there you have it. So the
Speaker 1: first few weeks at least, the Jaguars were i mean
Speaker 1: historically clean on the vine. And they're still pretty healthy.
Speaker 1: I mean it really, you know, knock on wood. You know,
Speaker 1: they've been pretty healthy and that's uh, that's a good
Speaker 1: thing they have been. And but you know, if they
Speaker 1: can get if they can get fully Photocosi back in
Speaker 1: there on the defensive line, that was a huge part
Speaker 1: of the first couple of weeks of this defense. He's
Speaker 1: he's just he's strong as hell. I mean, he's he
Speaker 1: can He's a two gap defender. You know. That's you know,
Speaker 1: not not to say that he's on par with Marcus
Speaker 1: Stroud and John Henderson, you know for some of the
Speaker 1: Jaguar fans that that watch those in their heyday, but
Speaker 1: those guys, we used to call them three gap defenders
Speaker 1: because they could essentially take care of three gaps by
Speaker 1: themselves and fought. Akaci I think is close to that.
Speaker 1: And he's he can take care of his gap, and
Speaker 1: he's strong enough and stouting up he can throw a
Speaker 1: blocker to the side and then come over and and
Speaker 1: make him play in another gap or two gaps over
Speaker 1: sometimes and so he I think is uh And then
Speaker 1: also I think he can push the pocket on some
Speaker 1: early Dowlands as a pass rusher and that that always helps.
Speaker 1: So getting him back, if they do in fact get
Speaker 1: him back, would be a really nice for a little
Speaker 1: return for the defense. A couple other guys will get
Speaker 1: to here. Jamal Agnew that's key for a number of
Speaker 1: reasons if he's unable to go with a knee issue,
Speaker 1: and um, he said he did it on the end
Speaker 1: around the handoff kind of thing is where he felt it.
Speaker 1: So uh hey that that affects the kickoff return and
Speaker 1: the punt return game as well well. And I think
Speaker 1: you're the kickoff return game. You can find a way
Speaker 1: to make that okay. I mean, you're not gonna have
Speaker 1: the skill set back there of what Jamal Agnew was
Speaker 1: giving you. I'm not trying to say that you're you're
Speaker 1: you know that's gonna be even. But a lot of
Speaker 1: times the kicks are going out of the end zone
Speaker 1: and you're not even getting a return out of it anyway.
Speaker 1: So that doesn't I think impact the game as much
Speaker 1: as not having him as a punt returner. Number one
Speaker 1: is securing the catch, and with Agnew you trust him
Speaker 1: incredibly because he's gonna catch the ball and hold onto
Speaker 1: the ball. And when you go to somebody that's the
Speaker 1: next man up in the punt return, sometimes it's not
Speaker 1: always the most dependable or somebody that's at the level
Speaker 1: that you trust. And so it will be interesting to
Speaker 1: see who they put back there and what are there,
Speaker 1: what are their instructions. Are their instructions gonna be bring
Speaker 1: it back or are their instructions gonna be just make
Speaker 1: the catch or just let it go whatever it is, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, because um, he's far well. The special teams
Speaker 1: coordinator in training camp right before the season, I think
Speaker 1: I asked him, is he a green like guy? Agnew
Speaker 1: get the green light anytime he wants? He's pretty much yeah.
Speaker 1: Basically trust if he can see it, and they trust
Speaker 1: him enough to to take it up, they trust him
Speaker 1: to make the right decision. I would guess there's nobody
Speaker 1: else on the roster that gets that. I don't know
Speaker 1: my opinion, Well, I mean yeah, maybe not, maybe not
Speaker 1: maybe so, I mean we don't I haven't really seen it.
Speaker 1: I don't know that. I mean that, uh, hopefully He's
Speaker 1: gonna be okay, though, Jamal Agnew and can get back
Speaker 1: sooner rather than later because he has I think provided
Speaker 1: a boost to the offense and we really haven't seen
Speaker 1: the magic in the return game yet this year out
Speaker 1: of him. But all it takes is one touch with him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: one little crease and there he goes from a hundred
Speaker 1: and nine or whatever he wants. And perfect example. You
Speaker 1: remember in the game Agnew's out, He's on the sideline,
Speaker 1: helmet in hand, and like, okay, well, what's gonna happen. Well,
Speaker 1: Chris Claybrooks goes back for the kickoff return fields the
Speaker 1: kickoff return, starts going up the field and runs right
Speaker 1: into one of his own guys. So it's just like,
Speaker 1: oh man, that's not what you wanted. So uh And
Speaker 1: clay Brooks has been a pretty decent, you know, returner
Speaker 1: so far, You've been okay, but that one, I don't
Speaker 1: think Jamal would ran into his own guys. One other
Speaker 1: injury that we need to discuss, and it's the one
Speaker 1: that let off this show, and I'm sure he is
Speaker 1: leading off many of this week. It's Shaquille Griffin the
Speaker 1: back issue and of course did not practice yesterday. I
Speaker 1: was off to the side today, as we mentioned, no
Speaker 1: official word on his status today, but coming off the
Speaker 1: game last week and now on the report this week,
Speaker 1: if he's unable to go, how do they shake up
Speaker 1: the secondary here? Well, for first and foremost, it's it's
Speaker 1: never a good look when you have a tough game
Speaker 1: and then you come and you've got an injury. You
Speaker 1: always want to have guys that come back and are
Speaker 1: ready to go, to bounce back, etcetera. But look, I've
Speaker 1: learned one thing in football and that you never you
Speaker 1: never kind of assume anything when it comes to injuries.
Speaker 1: I mean, injuries are real in in football, and so
Speaker 1: I'm not questioning whether he's hurt or not. This is
Speaker 1: not a situation that we had a couple of years
Speaker 1: ago with somebody that were jamal okay to get it
Speaker 1: out there. I mean, when Jalen had this mysterious back injury.
Speaker 1: This I don't believe this is it, okay, This is
Speaker 1: nothing like that, And so what do they do if
Speaker 1: Shock doesn't go. My guests would be Trey Herndon has
Speaker 1: done a good job in the past. I think that
Speaker 1: Darius Williams could be a guy that moves out the
Speaker 1: corner on base downs, but since he's been playing a
Speaker 1: ton of nickel. When I say the nickel, so when
Speaker 1: you go three corners, he's in the slot and he's
Speaker 1: extremely athletic, which typically that's where you see the athletic
Speaker 1: guys is in the slot. My guess is that he
Speaker 1: would probably stay in the slot and then you'll bring
Speaker 1: Trey Herndon out to play corner or maybe Clay Brooks.
Speaker 1: I mean Trey Herndon probably because he's been pretty good
Speaker 1: when he's had the opportunity to be out there. And
Speaker 1: then you keep rolling, you know, you keep rolling, and
Speaker 1: I've got confidence and Trey Herndon, he's done a good
Speaker 1: job here before. He's a better zone player than he
Speaker 1: is a man player. And we and you go back
Speaker 1: to when Todd Walsh was coaching this defense, they actually
Speaker 1: had two different nickel packages. They had a nickel package.
Speaker 1: When they wanted to play zone, Trey Herndon was the nickel.
Speaker 1: When they wanted to play man, they put in Claybrooks.
Speaker 1: The Playbrooks was your nickel, and it was kind of
Speaker 1: a the tip right for the opposed opposing offenses because
Speaker 1: you've got different personnel based on whether you want to
Speaker 1: play man or zone. But that's where they felt the
Speaker 1: most offendite that they could have successes defense back then.
Speaker 1: So uh, I think he'll be fine in the back end.
Speaker 1: And I hope Shack bounces back because I thought last
Speaker 1: year he played very well. He had a couple of
Speaker 1: good games. This year he had a couple of games
Speaker 1: it weren't so good. I gotta get him healthy and
Speaker 1: back out there and back on the field, get him right.
Speaker 1: We'll see once we have the update officially, we'll bring
Speaker 1: that to you. But if you're looking for the m
Speaker 1: v P of the truck game, then look no further
Speaker 1: than Ford f one fifty. Loaded with impressive capability and
Speaker 1: designed to dominate, work, play and everything in between. This
Speaker 1: truck makes tough look easy. Your local Ford dealer, proud
Speaker 1: partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. But back to wrap it
Speaker 1: up in a moment and then at the top of
Speaker 1: the hour, the Doug Peterson Show, It's Jaguars Happy Hour
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Digital Network, Mike Timpsey and Fat Tony
Speaker 1: Jaguars Today, All Jaguars, All NFL, all the Time, tended

Speaker 1: Jaguars social media, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Logoman is huge on
Speaker 1: all of those platforms. Well, if you're watching at any
Speaker 1: of those places, it's a live look at the Miller
Speaker 1: Electric Center right outside t i A A bank field.
Speaker 1: The construction continues. The framing of the indoor facility is
Speaker 1: about done. It looks like we saw some photos from
Speaker 1: inside there earlier this week on social media from the
Speaker 1: first downtown Jacksonville people, and they do a great job,
Speaker 1: of course, And the construction is scheduled to be finished
Speaker 1: and ready to roll and the Jaguars to move in
Speaker 1: by training camp of next summer, this coming summer twenty three,
Speaker 1: looking forward to that. What a what a beautiful day
Speaker 1: outside as well. Last couple of days stuck in this,
Speaker 1: were in the offices here at the bank right and
Speaker 1: we're like, we're in the cave. There's no windows in here.
Speaker 1: You could be in here eight hours and not even know,
Speaker 1: you know what time of day it is. It could
Speaker 1: I think it's two am right now. I have no idea.
Speaker 1: I haven't walked outside since apparently this morning you look
Speaker 1: at Yeah, it's it's what it is. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: you need a little vitamin D every now and again.
Speaker 1: JP should get up. And I walked out to practice today.
Speaker 1: That's the only reason I know. There's the sunshining and
Speaker 1: our look live at the at the Miller Electric Center.
Speaker 1: How is that what you do? You go out there
Speaker 1: and just look at it? No, No, we just took
Speaker 1: a look at you out there and get some sun
Speaker 1: and just look at it. Well, sometimes when I come
Speaker 1: down from lunch, I'll take the outside route right above it.
Speaker 1: But we're getting a little too into the weeds, as
Speaker 1: they say. Now anyway, it's gonna be anyway, looking forward
Speaker 1: to that. The Giants Jaguars game, presented by Florida Blue.

Speaker 1: five years, driven by a submission of helping people and
Speaker 1: communities achieve better health. Learn more at Florida Blue dot com.
Speaker 1: Giants or five and one. The Jaguars are two and
Speaker 1: four and the Jags have dropped three in a row
Speaker 1: after a two and one start. Both of these teams
Speaker 1: have been in games in the fourth quarter a lot
Speaker 1: of the year. The Giants have won those games. The Jaguars,
Speaker 1: for the most part, have not been able to finish
Speaker 1: those games out get a win. This week. Hey three
Speaker 1: and four had a dual London home away from home
Speaker 1: next week to face a limping Broncos offense at Wembley.
Speaker 1: If offense, yeah, the limping team is a whole yeah,
Speaker 1: but we'll get to that game next week. But you
Speaker 1: feel a whole lot better if you can just snap
Speaker 1: it now then get on the plane and head. The
Speaker 1: biggest question mark in the league right now is the
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos being run by Nathaniel Hackett and Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: at the helm. He's got a hamstring, a shoulder, he's
Speaker 1: got everything going yeah, and just got a big deal
Speaker 1: that has I think ties him to that organization and
Speaker 1: for the next you know, counting this year or the
Speaker 1: next three years, and they don't have a choice but
Speaker 1: to have him as their quarterback. And he's not playing
Speaker 1: very well. Started the game out the other night, I
Speaker 1: think ten of ten or something like that was pretty good,
Speaker 1: but then just kind of failed for the rest of
Speaker 1: the game. Not not a good situation. To be in
Speaker 1: and with new ownership and in Denver, it will be
Speaker 1: interesting to see how much patience that they have. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Denver is thirty in the league on third down on
Speaker 1: offense this year and twenty in total offense. That's not
Speaker 1: so good now, last time I checked, that's that's not
Speaker 1: so good. We'll get to that, of course next week
Speaker 1: before the Jaguars hop on the plane and head to London.
Speaker 1: The Giants, on the other hand, are right there at
Speaker 1: the top of the league, near the top in rushing offense.
Speaker 1: They've got se Kwan Barkley, They've got confidence, they've got
Speaker 1: a head coach who gets the most out of what
Speaker 1: he has to offer. They've got a defense that attacks,
Speaker 1: and their winning football games. And there there they beat
Speaker 1: some good teams. Now, they beat Green in London, right,
Speaker 1: that was their London game. Aaron Rodgers had the ball
Speaker 1: in his hand with a chance to go down the
Speaker 1: field and they ended it. Beat Tennessee, beat the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 1: Those are those are three good football team. Dallas is
Speaker 1: a pretty good football team. So, I mean, they've got
Speaker 1: some nice wins. And the impressive thing I think about
Speaker 1: the Giants is that Brian Dable, who's their head coach,
Speaker 1: has gotten I think a lot of credit for what
Speaker 1: they're doing, and as he should. If you look at
Speaker 1: where he's been, he's one. Where he's been. He won
Speaker 1: super Bowls with the Patriots. He goes with Nick Saban
Speaker 1: for a year, they win a national title, and then
Speaker 1: he Many people point to Josh Allen, who's the quarterback
Speaker 1: Josh Allen the Buffalo Bills. They point to Brian Dable
Speaker 1: as one of the keys in his development, and he
Speaker 1: is getting the best out of the best from a
Speaker 1: quarterback in New York who has struggled who they did
Speaker 1: not pick up his fifth year option because they felt
Speaker 1: the Daniel Jones was not going to be a franchise guy,
Speaker 1: or they felt it wasn't worth the risk of paying
Speaker 1: him and picking up that option. Here but right now,
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying that Daniel Jones is a great quarterback,
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying he's a franchise guy or but
Speaker 1: I can tell you this Brandable has him playing better
Speaker 1: than he has in the past. And that's all you
Speaker 1: can do as a coach is to get the most
Speaker 1: out of your players, and right now he's getting the
Speaker 1: most out of Daniel Jones more so than anybody has
Speaker 1: ever gotten out of him. He uses his legs a
Speaker 1: good bit in this attack. Of course, here's an example here,
Speaker 1: here's an example of that. And I was shocked when
Speaker 1: I was looking at these numbers because second on bark
Speaker 1: Barkley is getting the most carries per game of any
Speaker 1: running back in the National Football League. But Daniel Jones
Speaker 1: to himself, he has forty seven carries on the season.
Speaker 1: Forty seven carries. Okay, let's compare that to Trevor who
Speaker 1: has twenty. Okay, came last twenty exactly. So the previous
Speaker 1: season high for Daniel Jones and carries was going back
Speaker 1: to which was six. He's got forty seven out That
Speaker 1: puts him on pace right now of having a hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty three, which would more than double his previous
Speaker 1: season high of Russia's. That's staggering. Well, I mean, part
Speaker 1: of it is who's he gonna throw the ball to.
Speaker 1: They don't have big name receivers out there to his
Speaker 1: his high water market in passing yards this year's two
Speaker 1: seventeen yards. That was in London against Green Bay and
Speaker 1: he was twenty one seven in that game and they
Speaker 1: don't throw it to those guys now. And the interesting
Speaker 1: part is if if you look at who's at the
Speaker 1: top of of his receptions, you gotta a running back
Speaker 1: in a tight end something, right. You got Barkley who's
Speaker 1: leading receiver with twenty one catches, and then Bellinger. Is
Speaker 1: it Bellinger or Bellinger? He's a rookie tight end and
Speaker 1: he's a good player now, fourth round pick out of
Speaker 1: San Diego State. He's a good player, good blocker, good
Speaker 1: all round player. He is right up there with fifteen catches,
Speaker 1: so he's third. So you're looking at it from top down.
Speaker 1: Barkley leads with one. James is second, and that's Richie James.
Speaker 1: He's a wide receiver from Middle Tennessee State. He's second
Speaker 1: with nineteen catches, and then Bellinger, the tight end is
Speaker 1: next with fifteen catches. I mean that's kind of weird, right,
Speaker 1: a running back and a tight end two of your
Speaker 1: top three receptions leaders, uh for your quarterback. And compare
Speaker 1: that to the Jaguars, where you have is a Jones
Speaker 1: at the top, Christian Kirk in second of an Ingram,
Speaker 1: and then Marvin Jones. So three out of your top
Speaker 1: four are wide receivers, very different offensive and so it's
Speaker 1: this offense that the New York Giants run, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's obviously revolves around s Kwon Barkley as a runner,
Speaker 1: but also his receiver. They're trying to throw a lot
Speaker 1: of high percentage underneath kind of short stuff because they
Speaker 1: feel like that that's important to the growth of Daniel
Speaker 1: Jones and the success of their offense. Is that sustainable
Speaker 1: for the long haul for them, though, Well, we'll see.
Speaker 1: I think it's a great question. It's worked before. But
Speaker 1: if you look at the history of Daniel Jones and
Speaker 1: new coaches, typically after a while, I don't want to
Speaker 1: say they figure things out, but people start to adjust,
Speaker 1: and hopefully this Jaguars defense can adjust because this pass
Speaker 1: game they struggled. You know who likes to see the
Speaker 1: Giants on the schedule, Doug Peterson. He's eight and two
Speaker 1: against them as a head coach with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: What do you want to what do you want to
Speaker 1: hear from Doug Tonight on his program? Uh? You know,
Speaker 1: it's kind of interesting because when when you face the Giants,
Speaker 1: first of all, it's one of the story franchises in
Speaker 1: the NFL. You know, I wanted to know if he
Speaker 1: watched him as kid, because I were up watching the Giants,
Speaker 1: did you they were on? Sure? Okay? Who and then
Speaker 1: who were they? Who was good? No? No, it was
Speaker 1: these are my later days. I mean it was Sims
Speaker 1: and they hit the you know, the Bills missed the
Speaker 1: field goal, and you know, I remember, you know, growing
Speaker 1: up because the Redskins were my dad and his friends
Speaker 1: team they watched every Sunday. But I just remember Lawrence
Speaker 1: Taylor terrorizing left tackle Joe Jacoby and Lawrence Taylor was
Speaker 1: the most dominant player maybe ever in NFL history as
Speaker 1: far as defense goes and uh Parcels and Carl Banks.
Speaker 1: They had some really good players on that defense. Jim Burt,
Speaker 1: Leonard Marshall, some of those guys I played with at once.
Speaker 1: I got in the next my first preseason game ever,
Speaker 1: walked out of the tunnel. Lawrence Taylor were standing right there,
Speaker 1: and I went and looked out in my way it,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that's warts Taylor. Bothrelor both wore fifty
Speaker 1: six in New York. Yeah, he worred a lot better
Speaker 1: than I did coming up the Doug Peterson Show. That'll
Speaker 1: do it for Jaguars Happy Hour, of course, Tonight on
Speaker 1: television Jaguars All Access Live from String's Brewery in Springfield.
Speaker 1: On Fox Dirty Josh Allen I believe Travis E. T
Speaker 1: N is the guest Tonight. Jaguars running Back The Doug
Speaker 1: Peterson Show is coming up next. This is Jaguars Happy
