First place now 9 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: the a f C South, though a little different feelings, 10 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: still controlling your fate in the division. But the task 11 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 1: at hand this week the Texans. Then it's on to 12 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,959 Speaker 1: the Titans. What's the challenge of keeping the team focused 13 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 1: on the task this week? First, that's just it keeping 14 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: the team focused. Um, you know, obviously, um, you know, 15 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 1: we understand what this team did to us the first 16 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: time around Week five. You know, it was it was 17 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: a thirteen six ballgame, and and um, you know, I 18 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: also got to remind our team that we're we're different, 19 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: We're a better football team now, you know, here in 20 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: the month of December than we were in Week five 21 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 1: and and uh so you know you're hoping that things 22 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: go a little bit better this time around. But you 23 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: know the biggest challenge is to keep guys focused on 24 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: this week, not looking into next week. And and uh, 25 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: you know it's a good football team and a team 26 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: that it's kind of dangerous, you know, because they're not 27 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: playing for anything. And and uh, you know I had 28 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: to remind the team of just a year ago, how 29 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: how you know they spoiled the hopes of a Indianapolis 30 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: Colts team that came in here and you know, lost 31 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: a football game to miss out on the postseason. So 32 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: these are these are must wins for us. Team understands 33 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: that there's a sense of urgency and and uh, guys 34 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: are focusing ready to go. You know, a lot of 35 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: people may wonder what the approach was gonna be this week, 36 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: just because you know, the the game has meeting. From 37 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 1: the standpoint, if you end up in a tie in 38 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: the last game of the regular season, okay, then this 39 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: is a tiebreaker and it means something. But would you 40 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: rest players this week or would you not? And having 41 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: said that, when you met the team for the very 42 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: first time, after all of this is known. What was 43 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: the first thing that you said to your football team. 44 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: The first thing I said is this is a this 45 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 1: is a must win and and you know, we're we're 46 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: going in with every healthy body that we can and 47 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: and you know, um, you know, and and for me too, 48 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,839 Speaker 1: it's this is this is a different situation a little 49 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: bit from the standpoint of we can get to five hundred, right, 50 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: eight and eight with a chance to put us at 51 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: nine and eight, you know at the end of the season. 52 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: So that's a winning record. Uh, you know, I think 53 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: the history of the Jaguars and shot and in his 54 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: history and track record here recently, and and he hasn't 55 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,679 Speaker 1: had too many of these, uh, you know, winning seasons. 56 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: And so for me, it's it's a little more a 57 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: little more motivation that way, And and um, you know, 58 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: I want the guys to understand just how meaningful and 59 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 1: how powerful and impactful that is to set this program 60 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: on a path that year in and year out we 61 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: expect to win and and have winning seasons, you know, 62 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: moving forward. And this is a division opponent that's had 63 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: there's a consec in a game streak going on. I mean, 64 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: those are things you want to change when you're talking 65 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: about changing the culture exactly exactly, And those are things 66 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: that I've I've reminded the team of and uh, you know, 67 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: it's just it's you're changing the culture around here, and 68 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: and the guys understand that. And we're putting ourselves on 69 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: a on a path that you know, hopefully we win 70 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: you know, a lot more uh you know games, regular 71 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: season games as the years go on. But two, we 72 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: expect to win. That's the that's the challenging thing now 73 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: with this football team is is getting them to believe 74 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: in getting them to believe and and and really the 75 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: expectation that we're going into every football game, no matter 76 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: who we play, it's kind of that faithless opponent, so 77 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: to speak, that we expect to win. And and um, 78 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: the guys believe that, and um, you know, we have 79 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: to understand just the impact of that in in in 80 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: games like this, whether whether they mean something or not 81 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: to the outside world, you know, to us, they gotta 82 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: mean something. Head coach Chuck Peterson, whether let's talk about 83 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: a couple of key injuries now and the changes since 84 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: those and Cam Robinson is out obviously, so Walker a 85 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: little stepped in there. At left tackle last week though 86 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: to one Smoot goes down with an achilles injury. What 87 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: are the plans for that spot and how is Walker 88 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: little played at left tackle so far? Yeah, Walker stepped 89 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,479 Speaker 1: in last week, did a nice job in that game. 90 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: You know, started off a touch rough, but but really 91 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: settled in and did some did some nice things and 92 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, he's the type of player we 93 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: saw back in training camp where the more reps he gets, right, 94 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: the more practice time, he becomes a better football player. 95 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,039 Speaker 1: And so we're excited about his opportunity and his growth 96 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: right now. And really it kind of gives us sort of, 97 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: uh an insight to who he is, you know, as 98 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: a football player, and we're we're excited about that. And 99 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: then on the defensive side, it's unfortunate with Smoot and 100 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: you know, losing a great pass rusher, you lose some 101 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: of that that presence of the pass rush, you know 102 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: with him and what he's uh been able to do. 103 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: This season. But you know, I think a guy is 104 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: like like Josh Allen, you know, it's gonna have to 105 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: really step up now. Get Trayvon Walker back, you know, 106 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: and get him in the fold. And you know, Calebon 107 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: Chaise Song is gonna take more meaningful reps now on 108 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: defense as opposed to special teams. And you know it's 109 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: just it's arden Key is going to be a big 110 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: factor in there. And then you know, we've got a 111 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: young Deshaun Dixon who, whether or not he's up or not, 112 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: is gonna have to you know, be ready to go um, 113 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: you know in these these coming weeks because you know, 114 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: with a guy like Smoot, we've we've lost some pass 115 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: rush and and and now it's gonna have to get 116 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: spread out amongst amongst the troops. Now you talk about 117 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 1: losing some pass rush productivity, I think what you lose 118 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: a lot to is some leadership with Dwan Smoot and 119 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: Cam Robinson because you know, watching the film on those 120 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: guys weekend and week out, the one thing that you 121 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: can count on with those guys every week is consistent, 122 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: outstanding effort, exactly right. And yeah, that's what I've seen, 123 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: you know with Cam Kim, you know, still a young player, 124 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: but he's kind of come into his own as a 125 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: leader this year. And I think that's also a part 126 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: of what Brandon Sheriff has brought to our football team, 127 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: and that off fensive line room and and and Cam 128 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: has done that. You know, we know who smooth is 129 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: and he's always been been that type of leader with 130 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: with the defense and really with the team, and um, 131 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: he's had an impact that way, and and those it's 132 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: hard to replace, you know, it's hard to replace leadership 133 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 1: like that. But you know, my job too is to 134 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: challenge the next guy to step up and and see 135 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: who's gonna take on that role. Let's get to the 136 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: quarterback now. Trevor Lawrence, of course still continuing to roll 137 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 1: and and playing better and better as the weeks go along. 138 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: Executed that plan in New York very well. But I'm 139 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: curious about what you've seen out of him in these 140 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: meaningful games when it comes down you have to go win. 141 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: You're trailing in a game, they figure out a way 142 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: to go take the lead and fight and win. And 143 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: when did you start to see that side of the quarterback, 144 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: the killer instinct, the competitive nature of that, And has 145 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 1: that grown as the season has gone along? It has grown, 146 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 1: you know. And and obviously we keep going back to 147 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: the Denver game in London, and I think I think, uh, 148 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,720 Speaker 1: you know, that was a sort of a a lightbulb 149 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: moment for him and probably the offense you know in general. 150 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: And and really from that point forward, we've just seen 151 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: that that steady progression with with the quarterback, with Trevor, 152 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: and you know, um, you come out of the by 153 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: right and and now you're now you're playing, you're you're 154 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: you're still playing meaningful games and and all of them 155 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: are really must win situations and must wins, you know, 156 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 1: for us as a football team to put put ourselves 157 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: in this position. And you've just seen the toughness now 158 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: with the injury right with the toe. You're seeing how 159 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: he um I can take a Wednesday off in practice, 160 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: still get meaningful mental reps and still come back on 161 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: Thursday Friday and still perform at a high level on Sunday. 162 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: And how he's leading the football team and you're seeing 163 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: the guys around him even you know, get more comfortable 164 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: with what we're doing as an offense and and just 165 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: understanding the entire scheme. And and so I think the 166 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: team is also improving. The offense is improving around Trevor, 167 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: and and he's just you know, he's that type of 168 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: guy now that that really you know, wants the ball 169 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: in his hand and and and I probably couldn't say 170 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: that first part of the season, you know, but but 171 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: now he's he's wanting that, and and he's playing well, 172 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: and we've just got to continue, uh, you know, keeping 173 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: him on that track. Can you get the ball out 174 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: of his hands so he doesn't take that hit like 175 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: he did in New York that one, that one. Yeah, 176 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: we had a little conversation after that one last week 177 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: on the sideline and and those are the things he 178 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: those are, see, those are the things those young quarterbacks 179 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: and young moments like that where you know, they're teachable 180 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: moments for us. You don't want him to take, you know, 181 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: that type of hit and get thrown down that that 182 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 1: hard throw the ball away. Just just get the ball 183 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: out of your hand, throw it away. You know, you 184 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: don't get hit. We live to play another down, um, 185 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: you know. And so those are still the things that 186 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: still kind of creep up that you know, we're still 187 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 1: coaching and trying to coach out of him. One of 188 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: the things that I think has been apparent this year 189 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: that he's got comfort and comfort in the scheme, comfort 190 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: in your offense. And I think part of the way 191 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: that you can understand and see that is that he's 192 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:08,439 Speaker 1: got more confidence using his legs at certain moments. And uh, 193 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: you know, for a long time, Trevor really didn't want 194 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 1: to run. I think he was a little hesitant to 195 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: run and for whatever reason. But when he does run now, 196 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: it's like he's more confident and quicker with that decision 197 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: to do so he is. And and you know, we 198 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 1: encourage him to run. Um, get yourself, get the offense 199 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: out of trouble on a third and five, third and six, third, nine, 200 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: you know, get that first down even if you know, uh, 201 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: even a first down to another first down by by 202 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: running the football, you know, whether it be on a 203 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: naked bootleg or something like that. And he can just 204 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: carry it like he did against the Jets a couple 205 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 1: of times. And you know, those are all things that 206 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: we encourage him to do. Be smart about it, protect himselves, 207 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: and and those are those are meaningful, big plays that 208 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: keep your offense on the field number one, and and 209 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: really put you in a position to score points once 210 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: you get down into the red zone. All right, coach, 211 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 1: let's go to the Microsoft service and get a social 212 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: media question for you about the upcoming opponent. Who is 213 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: the most important player to stop to win on Sunday. 214 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: This is from att Nick Pope Joy And yeah, there's 215 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: obviously more than one. I'm sure. With the Houston Texans, 216 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: you mentioned it. They're playing hard football right now, playing 217 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: tough for Levy Smith. But who stands out on that team? 218 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna tell you this, This team has 219 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 1: changed just a little bit now. You know, offensively, Davis 220 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 1: Mills and in In drist All, these two quarterbacks. I mean, 221 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: it's it's kind of a two headed monster right now. 222 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 1: They've they've lost some of their you know, the their 223 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: top running back obviously, and and they're using these quarterbacks 224 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 1: now and and kind of a dual threat. You know, 225 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 1: Davis is the guy that can can move around and throw. 226 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: We know Driscoll can run and and run the R 227 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: P O game. He did that in college a lot. 228 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: So I look at those two guys, and then you 229 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: go back to the Jets and what the Jets did. 230 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: There was a change of pace when uh, you know, 231 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: when their their second string quarterback came in against our defense. 232 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 1: So that to me is going to be a matchup 233 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: that that is going to be critical in this football 234 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 1: game that we handle, you know, defensively and then I 235 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: I don't think there's one guy. I mean I would say, um, 236 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,679 Speaker 1: you know, uh nine six the d lineman you know 237 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: right now is is A is A he's a train wreck. 238 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: He's a he's a he's a past protection uh nightmare. 239 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: Up front, we've he's a three technique. He can he 240 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: can get after the passer. I I think the guys 241 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: like that Kirksey on defense, the middle linebacker is a 242 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: guy that's smart. These guys are downhill and again, it's 243 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: not about one guy. And that's what That's what you 244 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: see with this football team on defense is they fly around, 245 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: they play fast. They they they they you know, can 246 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: can wreck havoc. They're they're a movement, movement type front, 247 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: meaning they're gonna they're gonna stunt their line. Their linebackers 248 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: are downhill and we've got to be prepared for that. 249 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: That takes. That takes all five six guys, including tight ends, 250 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: to be able to handle all that movement. You talk 251 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: about the two quarterbacks system that they run. You know 252 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: they have Damian Pierce Nico Collins at wide receiver before that, 253 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: and that's changed. The one consistent thing watching the film, 254 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: their offensive line is playing pretty well, and I think 255 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: the consistent hard about them as a team. Their effort 256 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: has been very consistent as well, which a lot of 257 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: times you don't see that with a team that has 258 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,719 Speaker 1: been struggling, struggling record wise. But I mean a lot 259 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: of that credit's gotta go to Levy Smith because they're 260 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: playing hard. And the last game they won, But then 261 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: the two games before that against Kansas City and Dallas, 262 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: they're right in those ball games. You know, Kansas City 263 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: they take him to overtime and and obviously I lose 264 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: that in a close game. Dallas is a you know, um, 265 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,560 Speaker 1: you know, obviously Dallas did a great job at the 266 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: end to to go the length of the field. Really 267 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: they stopped him on fourth and goal and then and 268 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: took the ball the length of the field. Houston had 269 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: a chance to go up ten points in that game. 270 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you're right. That's that's what we see 271 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: as coaches. That's what we see, and that's what we're 272 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 1: trying to point out to our football team is this 273 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,479 Speaker 1: is this is a good football team. You know, um, 274 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: just like last week. I it's very similar to last 275 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: week from the standpoint of these guys hustle, They give 276 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 1: great effort um and and they fly around and they're 277 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: playing with a lot of passion. And those are those 278 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 1: are teams that are dangerous that really you know, there's 279 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 1: they're playing for pride, they're playing to maybe spoil the 280 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: our chances or whatever it might be. And and they're 281 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: dangerous football teams. And and so that's why we have 282 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: to be ready to go in this one. And final 283 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: thought with it here, you gotta score to settle with 284 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 1: this team too. I mean, they got you back in 285 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: Week five. It's been nine in a row at least 286 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: historically the last gosh ten twelve years the Texans have dominated. 287 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: Has had to add series time to avenge that and 288 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: keep marking these streaks off the list this year, right, yeah, 289 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 1: I mean there's always it seems like every week there's 290 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 1: a there's another first, you know, and and this is 291 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: obviously another one of those first. If we can, if 292 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 1: we can pull this one off, and um, we got 293 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 1: to go on the road. You know, we've had a 294 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: challenge of of playing on the road another dome environment. 295 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 1: You know, we struggled last time we were in a 296 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 1: dome and those are all those things that creep back in. 297 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: But again it's my job to make sure that, um, 298 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: you know, the guys are ready and focused and and 299 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: you know looking ahead to to play on Sunday. Doug, 300 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: thanks for the time. Is always keep it rolling. Good 301 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: luck all right, Thank you. Head coach Doug Peterson with us. 302 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 1: This is the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. 303 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Dog Peterson Show continues right now. Welcome back, 304 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: It's the Dog Peterson Joe J. P. Shatrick with Jeff Logan. 305 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: Thanks to head coach Doug Peterson for joining us in 306 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: the opening segment each and every week. It is Week seventeen. 307 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: The Jaguars faced the Houston Texans. Oh, the Jaguars are 308 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: playing everybody, let's go right. I mean, it's NFL football. 309 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,840 Speaker 1: There's no such thing as a meaningless game, the coach 310 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: said earlier this week, So full steam ahead. But I 311 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: like that approach. I mean, it's um, it's what you 312 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: want to hear. And I think momentum is everything in 313 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: this game. And to be able to carry momentum going 314 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: into and the ability to play well. I think it's 315 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: it's hard to take a week off and then the 316 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: returned the next week and say Okay, we're just gonna 317 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: We're gonna flip the switch and be ready to go 318 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: against Tennessee. I just I just don't think you and 319 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: do that. I think maybe some teams might, it might 320 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: be in their best interest of doing that, but I 321 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: think it's in the Jaguar's best interest to continue to 322 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: try to win this game in Houston, even though it 323 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: would help from a tie standpoint, the last game of 324 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: the year. And I love Doug's approach and was glad 325 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: to hear him say that, And uh, that's what I 326 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: was hoping he would say as we were heading in 327 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: this week. I mean, if you're the Patriots and you 328 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: have Tom Brady and you've won seven straight division titles, 329 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: you might have a different approach because you can turn 330 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: it off and on. Most likely this team hasn't learned 331 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: how to do that. Yeah, they as John Osan said 332 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: the other day, they've been good for about three weeks, 333 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: you know, like they're just I wouldn't agree with that. 334 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: I mean, his point was that it's a blip compared 335 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: to some other teams. It's it's fresh, it's cool. They 336 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: haven't proven it a time and again, and how many 337 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: times have we heard coaches, players, and many coaches and 338 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: players say this that it's a week to weekly. Okay, 339 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: well it is a week to weekly, but there is 340 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: carry over from a week to week basis, and I 341 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 1: think that it's important that you you play well this week. 342 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: It allows you to can continue that that momentum into 343 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 1: a game that's going to be for the playoff marbles. 344 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: And I hope that the Jaguars can get this game 345 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: this week, come out of it very healthy, and in 346 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: a perfect world, you'd find this team to in Houston 347 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 1: getting a comfortable lead. And this is hopeful, okay, and 348 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: this is wishful thinking. Maybe are you locking this? No, 349 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: I'm not locked, But wouldn't it wouldn't it be great 350 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: if you got a real nice lead and then you 351 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: can say, okay, we're gonna cherry pick some guys to 352 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: take out to make sure that they get refreshed and 353 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: ready for this big game coming up against Tennessee. I 354 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: would like that, but then again, the last three games 355 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: that Houston has played, it's been down to the wire. 356 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: But we'll see, we'll see what happens with that. Of course, 357 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: we'll come back at a moment. Jaguars offensive rhythm we'll 358 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: see if they can get that going keep it going 359 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 1: after a couple extra days off around the Christmas holiday. 360 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,239 Speaker 1: Defensive talk coming up as well. The Jaguars and the 361 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: Texans coming up. The Texans have won the last nine 362 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: meetings head to head against the Jaguars, including back in 363 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: Week five and thirteen to six win here in Jacksonville. 364 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: This is the Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio. We 365 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: are back. It is the Doug Peterson Show and it's 366 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: JP Shadrick with Jeff Logerman or thanks to the head coach, 367 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson's winning us to the top of the show 368 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 1: five o'clock every Thursday, at least when the Jaguars don't 369 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: have a Thursday night football game, which they had last week. 370 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: So it's been a couple of weeks since we've had 371 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: the Doug Peterson Show, and the Jaguars since then have 372 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: moved into first place in the a f C South. 373 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: The Jags went on Thursday, of course, combined with the 374 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: Titans loss on Christmas Eve, moved the Jaguars to the 375 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: top of the A Vision. It all comes down to 376 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: a week eighteen here at t i A Bank Field 377 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: for the a f C South Division title. The game 378 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,639 Speaker 1: day and time still to be announced. After the results 379 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: of this coming weekend's games, they'll figure all that out 380 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: and then maybe an announcement late Monday night after that game, 381 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 1: or towards the end of that game if it's decided, 382 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: or Tuesday morning. We'll see what happens with the league 383 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: has in mind. Yeah, yeah, looking forward to that. And 384 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: and again I've said this before, I hope that it's 385 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:32,719 Speaker 1: a Sunday game. Uh, come alot four o'clock prime time 386 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: either one, but I hope it's a Sunday game just 387 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: so that allows the Jaguars to have a full week 388 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: of preparation on a week that Tennessee is gonna get 389 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: a lot of rest. What's the next step for Trevor 390 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: Lawrence right now? Consistency, keep doing's You gotta keep doing 391 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: what you're doing. And uh, you hope that it's at 392 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: the same level that he's doing. And he's doing a 393 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: tremendous job of protecting football. In the last what seven games, 394 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: he's only had one interception. Mean, that's incredible. He's turned 395 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: the ball over on fumbles a couple of times, but 396 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: those can happen. But he's been making really good decisions 397 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: and the consistency of making good decisions is if you're 398 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: gonna be a franchise guy, then you have to be 399 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: able to be consistent at that level. And that's difficult 400 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 1: to do. I mean, that's uh. I mean, that's why 401 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: when you got a guy like Tom Brady who's still 402 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 1: doing at the age of forty five or forty six 403 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 1: or how old he is, it's like, are you kidding me? 404 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: You've been doing it for how long? It's it's just incredible. Um. 405 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 1: The same thing with Josh Allen, Um, Matt Patrick, Mahomes. 406 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: I mean, these guys are doing it weekend and week 407 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 1: out and it's just like no problem. It's just like 408 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 1: who they are. Well, now we're like excited because Trevor's 409 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 1: turned the corner. Well, it would you want to get 410 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,720 Speaker 1: to that point to where the conversation is that that 411 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: that's just who he is instead of man, hasn't he 412 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 1: been great in the last seven games? Well, it would 413 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: be great if you're like, that's our quarterback. Man, he's 414 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: just he's that good. That's what you're That's where you 415 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 1: want to be. It is interesting. He's got the largest 416 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: increase in passer rating from the first season to the 417 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 1: second season in NFL history right now, twenty four point 418 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: one point increase. Second place was Carson Wentz in sixteen 419 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: to seventeen two point six, both coached by Doug Peterson, 420 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 1: by the way, and third was Peyton Manny. And he's 421 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: pretty good at the nineteen point five point jump from 422 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: year one to year two, which is, uh, which is 423 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: pretty impressive, and uh you always expect some kind of 424 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: improvement year one to year two, but to see it 425 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,199 Speaker 1: at number is like, that tells you how big of 426 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: a difference this is. You go back and you look 427 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: at Trevor's numbers from last year. He was sub sixty 428 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: completion rate fifty nine point six. He had twelve touchdown 429 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: seventeen interceptions, and that's been a complete one. I mean, 430 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: it's just it's tremendous. His rating was again at seventy 431 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 1: one point nine. So we know about the about the 432 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: big jump there that you were just talking about. But 433 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: those numbers that I'm referring to, the touchdowns and interceptions. 434 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: Last year, again he had twelve touchdowns, so this year 435 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: he's got twenty four, so he's doubled. It was still 436 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: two games to go last year he had seventeen interceptions 437 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: and this year he only has seven. That's a big jump, 438 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: I mean big jump. When we're all hopeful that there 439 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: would be big improvement from year one to year two. 440 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: I mean we were all hopeful, But did we ever 441 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 1: imagined that it would be to this level. I think 442 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: if anybody actually thought that it would be at this level, 443 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: then they like to hear themselves and prop themselves up 444 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: as being highly important. But I don't think anybody imagined 445 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: that kind of improvement. Your name names who's doing that. 446 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that if anybody thought that it could 447 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: be that, that's a tremendous job. And and credit to 448 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: Trevor because it's you know. And and here's the other thing. 449 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: He didn't do it alone, right, That's that's and that's 450 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: important to remember, and that he didn't do it by himself. 451 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: He did it with some great coaching. And he's doing 452 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: it with some great coaching that he's getting right now. 453 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: And that's from his positional coach Mike McCoy, to the 454 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: offensive coordinator Press Taylor, to the head coach play caller 455 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, to the outstanding coaching that they're getting across 456 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: the board on the offense and everybody's getting better. But 457 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: then also the unselfishness that his weapons play the game with. 458 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: I think you can't you can't underestimate that because you 459 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: have Christian Kirk, Za Jones, Evan Ingram, Marvin Jones Jr. 460 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: Jamal add New Travis et n an offensive line. I mean, 461 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: everybody has contributed to that. And it's great to have 462 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: a young quarterback that has a cast of guys around 463 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: him that love ball, that loved a practice that I 464 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: mean really loved the practice. Because if you've got guys 465 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: that are a diva, it becomes harder for a quarterback. 466 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: And so I mean credit to the staff for bringing 467 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:22,440 Speaker 1: in guys of that caliber and of that makeup to 468 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: surround a young quarterback with. That can't be understated. All 469 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: three are approaching, if not surpassing, career highs in different 470 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: metrics already with two games to go. We're talking about 471 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: Za Jones, Christian Kirk, Evan Ingram especially and only Evan 472 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 1: Ingram because Ja is a a career high and Evan 473 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: Ingram has now achieved career high numbers with two catches, 474 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk will achieve career highs and catches, He's already 475 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: had a career high in yards. He needs Christian does 476 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: twelve yards to reach a thousand. I mean, it's just 477 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: it's amazing. I mean, even going down to Jamachael HASTI 478 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 1: Jamachael Hasty's having a career year. Okay, if you look 479 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: at touches in yardage output, rushing, receiving, he is at 480 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 1: a career high himself. And to your point about you know, 481 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: if if one guy is having a big game, the 482 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,959 Speaker 1: other guy's prop them up, there's no divas. That the 483 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: play to Evan Ingram last week, where's a Jones and 484 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: Christian Kirker out lead block? That's the play I did 485 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: in social media and I showed that play on social 486 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: media and U and it was two plays that I 487 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 1: showed by Evan Ingland. That was one of the that 488 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: was the first play, and I think it's out there 489 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 1: already and it was a tight end screen and you 490 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: got Christian and Za out front leading the way on 491 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: a block and and they do a great job. In fact, 492 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: I think Christian blocks two guys and then the guy 493 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: that has to make the tackle is the linebacker from 494 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: Alabama what's his name again? The middle linebacker for the Jets. 495 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: I'm we're onto the the texts. Anyway, he makes the 496 00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: tackle way down the field. C J B me mostly 497 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: thank you. That's that's what you want to have. And 498 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: I think that's the amazing thing. And so when you 499 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 1: I think, when you move forward and you're looking to 500 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: add pieces, if you can continue to find guys like that. 501 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 1: And I know it's hard because every now and again 502 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: you're gonna find a Key Shaw and he's a great 503 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 1: player and he's gonna want the damn ball. But you've 504 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: got to be able to make sure that you can 505 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: try to get those unselfish players like that. They're about team. 506 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: And there was a quote this week by Za Jones 507 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: and you'll probably remember it, and I think he was 508 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: talking to you, j P. And he said that, look, 509 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 1: we're all pieces to a puzzle, and when players really 510 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: understand that, I think he got a great chance for success. 511 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 1: And that was it was great to hear that from 512 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: Z Jones. Let's come back Jaguars defensive talk. When we return, 513 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: how do they match up this week against the Houston Texans? 514 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: Can they continue to take the football away? A lot 515 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 1: of questions down the stretch with the Texans this week 516 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: and then the Tennessee Titans looming in Week eight. Team 517 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 1: for all the marbles in the a f C South. 518 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 1: This is the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. 519 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now. Welcome 520 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: back j P. Shatrick with Jeff Logaman, Brent Reaver and 521 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: Joe Fortunato are with us as well. It's Week seventeen. 522 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 1: The Jaguars stays the Houston Texans our thanks to head 523 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: coach Doug Peterson joining us to the opening segment each 524 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: and every week. All Right, the Jaguars defense on Thursday 525 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 1: Night Football, they were up against sudden change fumble. They 526 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: get the blitz on third down, sack him and then 527 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 1: hold him to a field goal and then shut them 528 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 1: out the rest of the night. Solid effort. Had to 529 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 1: get it done, got it done. I thought you were 530 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: onto the Texans and we're moving on. My point is, 531 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: how do they carry that momentum forward to the Houston 532 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 1: Texans this week? A team that you know they're they're 533 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,440 Speaker 1: losing pieces, but I mean they're in the last three games, 534 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 1: they won last week and you I mean, Nashville is 535 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: nasty weather, all that, but they still won the football game, 536 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: figured it out, got it done. So what's the matchup 537 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,199 Speaker 1: this week to to look out for for this Jaguars defense? 538 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: How can they exploit it against Houston? Uh? Well, I 539 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,959 Speaker 1: think the challenge this week is the two quarterback system 540 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: and that that's kind of interesting and as a defense, 541 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: you've got to kind of change your mindset when you 542 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: have Davis Mills and their versus Driscoll, and that can 543 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: be different and I think I think even defensive coordinator 544 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: might call it, well, may call the game differently based 545 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 1: upon which quarterback is in there and Mills being more 546 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: of the classic dropback drift calls more of the read 547 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 1: option type guy, and drift call has got some great speed. 548 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people have seen him around here, 549 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: you know, from his time in college, so he's he's 550 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,479 Speaker 1: a good football player. But that's the challenge. But the 551 00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 1: defense has got to remain opportunistic and that's I think 552 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 1: been the real key thing for them defensively over the 553 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: last couple of games against Dallas Cowboys obviously had a 554 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: couple of key stops. They're kind of struggling to stop 555 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. The backs were kind of controlling the temple 556 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 1: of the game, get a couple of key stops there 557 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: at the end, and of course the walk off pick six, 558 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: which was a big ball game. And then against Tennessee, 559 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,959 Speaker 1: you didn't start great against Derrick Henry, but you started 560 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: to clean it up there towards the end, and then 561 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: the offense score some points makes it more difficult for 562 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: the game flipped there and then took advantage of you. 563 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: Just you just have to remain opportunistic and and just 564 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: get better incrementally. And I think they did a little 565 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: bit of that against the Jets. And part of the 566 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: reason that helped is that the Jets aren't a great offense. Yes, 567 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: and Zack Wilson was a quarterback and he's not very good. 568 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 1: And isn't it good to be a Jaguars fan as 569 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: opposed to being a Jets fan right now? With the 570 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 1: quarterbacks you can say that again? Oh yeah, I mean 571 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: I've never have you ever seen a second year quarterback 572 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: get booed like that? I mean, how do you as 573 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: an organis that's tough for them? You know? I mean 574 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: I just don't see I don't see that getting better. 575 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,959 Speaker 1: What's the resolution there? I don't know who knows that's serious, 576 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: you though. I mean, Zach Wilson's got a guarantee contract. 577 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: He can't give up on him at at this point. 578 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 1: But the reality is is that you need to bring 579 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: in competition because some of the statements that he made 580 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: earlier in the year shows a clear lack of maturity 581 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: and a lack of understanding the way reality is in 582 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: the National Football League, and he's learned the hard way 583 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: and the fans have given him a hard lesson, and 584 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: so now it's up to him to get better in 585 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: New York. But that's their problem and that's not ours. 586 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: We'll come back in a moment. Injury report is out. 587 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 1: We'll get into that a little later. Social media question 588 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,720 Speaker 1: for your lives.

Kudos to the guys that take care of 620 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: the grounds here at the Bank.

So the injury report 627 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,960 Speaker 1: is outlogs and the Thursday report. All these Jaguars players 628 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: were limited today. We'll start with the players that do 629 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 1: not practice Wednesday. Trevor Lawrence was limited today with his 630 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: toe injury. But the last couple of weeks has been 631 00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:09,440 Speaker 1: the same um idea there don't practice Wednesday, get out 632 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: there Thursday or Friday. Ross Madisick, long snapper, did not 633 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: practice yesterday, limited today with a back issue, back spasms, 634 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson called it. So they've signed a veteran long 635 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 1: snapper to the practice squad. Just in case on game 636 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 1: day maybe he wakes up and things aren't going well. 637 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: Safety Andrew Wingered with a shoulder limited both days. Trayvon 638 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 1: Walker limited both days. That's a step in the right 639 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 1: direction with his ankle issue. Randon Sheriff veteran offensive lineman, 640 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,479 Speaker 1: the guard with an abdomen issue and an ankle issue 641 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: battling through it's limited both days, but he's out there 642 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: and fully fought. A Kassi with an ankle issue limited 643 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: Wednesday and Thursday. What stands out from those, um, Well, 644 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: I mean, Trayvon Walker would be nice to get him back, 645 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 1: you know, especially with the injury to smoot and hopefully 646 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: he can work his way back, but you want to 647 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: make sure that he's good to go before he goes 648 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 1: back out there. But losing, losing smooth like that, that hurts. 649 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: And hopefully Trayvon is good to go, hopefully can be 650 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 1: healthy and productive. And Botakasi be nice to get him back, 651 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: but back playing well, you know, prior to missing his 652 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: past game, it's just kind of been okay. I need 653 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: to get him back playing well, you know, because he 654 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 1: was playing pretty well earlier in the year and then 655 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: the injuries have slowed him wanted him to get back 656 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: into that groove where he's been the rest of the injuries. 657 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: I mean, the concern about your long snapper, because you know, 658 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: the snaps in New York were high, a little concerning, 659 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: and will Madison be ready to go if not. The 660 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: veteran guy that they signed, uh, what's his name again 661 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 1: on the practice squad, he's got he's like a hundred 662 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:57,320 Speaker 1: and sixties some games played, so he's a veteran guy, 663 00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: which is nice to be able to have a veteran 664 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: guy if you need to elevate him from the practice 665 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:08,640 Speaker 1: squad for a game day. His name is Garrison Sandborn. Sanborn, 666 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 1: That's what it was. He was with the Bills from 667 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 1: odin in to sixteen and then Tampa Bay seventeen and eighteen, 668 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 1: niners and nineteen. So it's been a little bit. He's 669 00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:19,120 Speaker 1: been around a lot. Yeah, he's been around a lot. 670 00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 1: So that's a you know, pull something to keep an 671 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: eye on. Pull a cord an emergency. Here's the reality. 672 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 1: You've had a first time kicker with the Jaguars. Okay, 673 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: first time with the Jaguars who has been pretty good, 674 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 1: and congratulations to him. An FC Special Teams Player of 675 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,560 Speaker 1: the week, by the way, correct, And so you would 676 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,800 Speaker 1: like to be able to make sure that that operation 677 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: goes without interruption, because sometimes when you have a change 678 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: of a snapper, change of the holder, it can it 679 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: can change the chemistry a little bit in the timing. 680 00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 1: So you would like to make sure that you try 681 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: to keep that as as solid as you can. So 682 00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: that's something I think to definitely keep an eye on 683 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 1: going forward, and hopefully everybody else is trending in the 684 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 1: right direction. Logs, we're gonna come back and get an 685 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,400 Speaker 1: answer out of you. What do you got with answer 686 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,200 Speaker 1: to what a social media question? We're gonna go to 687 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 1: the Microsoft surface. We're gonna get answered looking at some 688 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,919 Speaker 1: of these questions. There some good ones, good question, there's 689 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:21,839 Speaker 1: some good ones. There's some that are you know, but 690 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: there's some good ones and we'll pick a good one 691 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 1: when we come back. It's the Dog Peterson Show on 692 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 1: the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back.

The Jaguars in the Houston Texans at 696 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 1: n RG Stadium one o'clock Eastern kickoff time. We're on 697 00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 1: the air on the network at noon with countdown to 698 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,680 Speaker 1: kick off this Sunday. As the Jaguars trying to continue 699 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,400 Speaker 1: away in streak and keep the momitting building towards the 700 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:07,120 Speaker 1: week eighteen matchup against the Tennessee Titans. You at t 701 00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: i A Bank Field for all the marbles. The a 702 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 1: f C South Division title will be on the line. 703 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: There are limited tickets available for that game, but they 704 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: are going fast. Playoff tickets are for sale. That's a 705 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 1: league rule. Any team that's in first place December fifteen 706 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: or later must put playoff tickets, potential home playoff game 707 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: tickets on sale. The Jags have done that as well, 708 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 1: and if you buy tickets, they will be refunded if 709 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: there's not a playoff game. Correct. So all that's going on, 710 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,200 Speaker 1: But the Jaguars have to handle business or want to 711 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,239 Speaker 1: handle business, and they need to in Houston this week. 712 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 1: Let's go to social media. Will go to the Microsoft 713 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 1: Surface and check out what we have on Twitter. This 714 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 1: is from an evan off Joel, how would you evaluate 715 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:56,280 Speaker 1: Walker Little's performance? Well, of course, the second year tackle 716 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 1: loogs Um. You know, a couple of weeks ago, played 717 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 1: fifteen snaps at right tackle, then flipped over and played 718 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,720 Speaker 1: fifteen snaps at left tackle. Last week started at left tackle. 719 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 1: Well do you think so far? I thought he's doing 720 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,319 Speaker 1: a pretty good job. I mean that was his only 721 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: his fourth career start, and for a fourth career start, 722 00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,959 Speaker 1: I thought he showed some some nice athleticism. He gave 723 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:21,400 Speaker 1: up a few pressures, but I thought was solid. And uh, 724 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,720 Speaker 1: you know, as long as he keeps getting better because 725 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 1: he's still I mean, look, he's a second year player, 726 00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: and the reality is a lot of people expect him 727 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: to be an immediate impact guy because okay, he was 728 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 1: a second round pick and we were told that he's 729 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,759 Speaker 1: gonna be, you know, starting caliber tackle. He's still young, 730 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,360 Speaker 1: and he's still getting better. The first game that he 731 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,280 Speaker 1: played this year, a couple of games ago against Dallas, 732 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,200 Speaker 1: you know, had some plays that weren't so good. Uh 733 00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,720 Speaker 1: had like twenty snaps I think in that game, ORTI 734 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: on each side, he had like four pressures and one 735 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,840 Speaker 1: of those plays ended up having Cam Robinson get his 736 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: knee hurt on which was against Michael Parsons. Okay, great player, 737 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,120 Speaker 1: one of the best in the league. And then his 738 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,879 Speaker 1: past game he settled down a little bit. I had 739 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 1: a pressure that was early, but he did give up 740 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: a couple of pressures. But I look, every team I 741 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,360 Speaker 1: think in the league would love to have a backup 742 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 1: like Walker a Little. I can tell you that. I mean, 743 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 1: there's not a lot of teams in the league to 744 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 1: have a backup like Walker a Little with that athleticism, 745 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,439 Speaker 1: that length and uh. And I'm sure he's looking forward 746 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 1: to this game too. By the way, he was Piscopal 747 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,880 Speaker 1: High School in Houston, he said, which is, you know, 748 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 1: not the Episcopal High School here, but the Episcopal High 749 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: School in Houston, where he was rated one of the 750 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,760 Speaker 1: top players coming out of high school in the nation. 751 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 1: So pretty cool. But anyway, he's doing a good job. Yeah. 752 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 1: The question to have is how much of what we're 753 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,920 Speaker 1: seeing from him and his development as it goes is 754 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 1: you know, hey, he didn't play the last two years 755 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,440 Speaker 1: of college before he came in the DRAMT that's a 756 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:57,840 Speaker 1: lot of it. You have to think about that. So 757 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 1: you gotta go play to get better, right, didn't play 758 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,440 Speaker 1: in college because of COVID. Okay, we have the knee injury, 759 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 1: then Covid exactly, so Nie Covid and then still drafted 760 00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 1: in the second round. So he hasn't played a lot 761 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,720 Speaker 1: of football, and then this is only his fourth start 762 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 1: in two years. That's a long time without playing football, 763 00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 1: and so it takes time to get better. And that's 764 00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,319 Speaker 1: a position. Look, there's a lot of positions that in 765 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 1: the league that guys can kind of hit the ground running, 766 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,360 Speaker 1: and I'm sorry, but offensive line is not one of them. 767 00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: That's that's a position that takes reps. It's technique, it's angles, 768 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 1: and all of those things need repetitions to be able 769 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,560 Speaker 1: to function. The one thing I will say about the 770 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 1: Jaguars offensive line group is I think they got an 771 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,720 Speaker 1: excellent coach in Phil ralsher And and I'm not saying 772 00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 1: that the blow smoke up anybody's rear end or anything. 773 00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:55,440 Speaker 1: I'm just telling you that the Jaguars offensive line coaches outstanding. 774 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: And it's been a joy to watch this offensive line 775 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,319 Speaker 1: group this year. I think they've gotten better across the board. 776 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 1: Juwan Taylor's past protection has been outstanding. Cam Robinson's angles 777 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:13,240 Speaker 1: and his footwork has improved dramatically. And uh, and look 778 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,520 Speaker 1: that's a lot of coaching because the other coach that 779 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 1: they had, which is now coaching the Houston Texans, which 780 00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:26,720 Speaker 1: is actually he's doing a good job with Houston's offensive line. 781 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,799 Speaker 1: But I didn't see the improvement that I wanted to 782 00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 1: see in the last couple of years here in Jacksonville. 783 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,279 Speaker 1: So so yeah, but I would have liked You have 784 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:38,160 Speaker 1: to pick the question from Alex Read for Coach Peters, 785 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 1: the one that coach he asked of Coach Peterson, He's 786 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,800 Speaker 1: gonna ask vanilla or chocolate ice cream on victory mondays, 787 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,560 Speaker 1: he was gonna ask that a douge. You didn't pick 788 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 1: that one, and this one said both. But this one 789 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,400 Speaker 1: from st Aggie Renee, I think I said that correctly. 790 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 1: She wants answers or he wants answers. I'm not sure 791 00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,560 Speaker 1: if it's a bloy girl. Okay, are we flexing the 792 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,239 Speaker 1: Titans games Saturday? Question mark? I don't know yet what 793 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,839 Speaker 1: colors are we wearing? Question mark. I don't think I've 794 00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 1: seen that these are important questions. I need answers too, 795 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:17,200 Speaker 1: so I can plan. Exclamation point, We'll be there no 796 00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,479 Speaker 1: matter what, sharing the Jags on the victory exclamation point. 797 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:22,920 Speaker 1: Awesome stuff. I think it's got a match with the 798 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,239 Speaker 1: team's wearing, right, if you were, they're wearing tel what's 799 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 1: your favorite uniform color? I think the teal over the uh, 800 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 1: the white, I think, yeah, how are you? I kind 801 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,319 Speaker 1: of like the allteal. I kind of like that. All 802 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,200 Speaker 1: black is kind of good too. I'm not I'm not 803 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:42,240 Speaker 1: a fan of the all black. We're I mean, we're teal. 804 00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,200 Speaker 1: So it's either got to be all teal or till 805 00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 1: jerseys and white pants. They could wear polka dots with stripes. 806 00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,280 Speaker 1: I wouldn't care as long as I win. That's fine. 807 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 1: I'm with you on that.

Shadrick with Jeff Logavan. 813 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,319 Speaker 1: The things that are being said and done in the 814 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,839 Speaker 1: commercial breaks I think are downright embarrassing in here. Well, 815 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,319 Speaker 1: good thing they don't make air at least right now, 816 00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 1: My goodness. I mean there's just this is the National 817 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 1: Football League. Yeah, that's right. So the Jaguars have the 818 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,720 Speaker 1: text not being done by me, and you know we're good. Um, 819 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:44,400 Speaker 1: Jaguars Texans this week, Doug's playing them, They're playing guys 820 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,799 Speaker 1: are out there. Ain't setting them. Nope, nope, nope. We're 821 00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,080 Speaker 1: gonna go play and rock and roll. Business as usual, 822 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:54,320 Speaker 1: rock and roll. You know, let's go. Um. The teams 823 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,719 Speaker 1: that carry the momentum of the postseason are the ones 824 00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,440 Speaker 1: that usually have the most success. So why not keep 825 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,920 Speaker 1: keep the ball the ball rolling on this football team? 826 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,840 Speaker 1: And and here's the reality. You know, this Jaguars defense 827 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,280 Speaker 1: needs to get better if you're gonna make some noise 828 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:13,960 Speaker 1: the last week and then into the playoffs. That's right, Okay, 829 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 1: they've got to get better because look at the teams 830 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,239 Speaker 1: that are pull up the number of the teams that 831 00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 1: are already locked in the playoff wich. Let's take a 832 00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:28,120 Speaker 1: look at the a f C playoff picture if we 833 00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,919 Speaker 1: can on Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars Social media. But yes, 834 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,760 Speaker 1: there are a handful of teams that have clinched already. Bills, Chiefs, Bengals, 835 00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,760 Speaker 1: high Powered, all three of them. Ravens have clinched up spot, 836 00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,280 Speaker 1: and the Chargers have clinched the spot. Okay, the Ravens 837 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,880 Speaker 1: don't scare me as far as their offense because the 838 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:47,680 Speaker 1: Jaguars handled them before. Lamar Jackson has been heard. The 839 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,480 Speaker 1: Chargers worry me. I mean, that's a that's a hot, 840 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,920 Speaker 1: high powered offense. The Dolphins, if they get to a 841 00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 1: back with those two wide receivers, that would be a 842 00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,960 Speaker 1: tough matchup, I think for anybody, and in particular this 843 00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,040 Speaker 1: Jaguars foot ball team, that'd be a really tough matchup 844 00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 1: with the Wattle and Tyreeki Tyree, the Cheetah and the penguin. Man. 845 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,960 Speaker 1: I know that. Uh, I'm gonna pull us up on 846 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,480 Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus, but I woulds and if I can 847 00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:14,440 Speaker 1: have a few minutes to do it about it. You 848 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,359 Speaker 1: don't have time, you know, but there there are going 849 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,120 Speaker 1: to be two of the top ten wide receivers in 850 00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 1: the league.
