You know, 24 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 4: they got more starters back on defense. But great opportunity 25 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 4: for our guys to go out, play well, a lot 26 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 4: of pride. 27 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 5: And and go go get another win if possible. 28 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 2: Well and if you get that win. I thought last 29 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: week was and you talked about this, I think in 30 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 2: your press conference, is the ability to play complimentary football 31 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 2: goes a long way. It does. 32 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 4: And I think sometimes you say complimentary and what does 33 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 4: that look like? It just looks like last week the 34 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 4: defense played well, offense played well. You know, even special 35 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 4: teams did some good things on like the kick cover stuff, 36 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 4: and and we had you know, it was unique, but 37 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 4: we had to two minute scenarios with special teams that 38 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 4: we handled extremely well, and then defensively creating a takeaway 39 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 4: you know, which which allowed the offense to go down 40 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 4: and score and score points. And and really, you know 41 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 4: it's there's no listen, there's no pixie dust or magic 42 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 4: sauce or whatever. But when you give yourself an opportunity 43 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 4: like we did last week, chances are you take care 44 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 4: of the football, you win the turnover margin, as we 45 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 4: say each week, you get a chance to win those games. 46 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, and what you said, right, there, take care of 47 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 2: the football. I mean, the weather conditions were not exactly perfect. 48 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 2: This week a little different. It's indoor. You're gonna have 49 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 2: some great conditions. But protecting the football always is the 50 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 2: most important thing. 51 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 4: It's the most important, especially against his Colts team, which 52 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 4: is sixth in the NFL. You know, I think in 53 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 4: twenty four to twenty four takeaways, I think got fifteen 54 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 4: i n ts, nine fumbles and they're doing a great 55 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 4: job of getting the ball out. That's it's sort of 56 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 4: in their DNA. Over the years, they've they've been really 57 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 4: good at punching and knocking the ball out, and opportunistic 58 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 4: balls get tipped around a little bit and and they 59 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 4: come up with these i iNTS. So we got to 60 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 4: do a great job of taking care of the football, 61 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 4: handle the crowd, noise, execute offense, defense, special teams, and 62 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 4: play well. 63 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 3: Head coach Doug Peterson with us. We can ask you 64 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 3: about Brian Thomas your every single week, and there's good 65 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 3: reason why. I mean, he continues to put up numbers 66 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 3: touchdowns now in three straight games. He was at ninety 67 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 3: one yards last week on seven catches. One more to 68 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 3: go for him. So what else do you want to 69 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 3: see from Brian. With one game left, just keep being Brian. 70 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 3: You know, opportunities are going to come his way. 71 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 4: We're gonna still dial his number up and and and 72 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 4: you know, just want to see the consistency, you know, 73 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 4: in which he's shown week in and week out, and 74 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 4: and I think Mac is getting an understanding of where 75 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 4: he is in the in the route concept and and 76 00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 4: being able to deliver the football. But just keep being 77 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 4: Brian Thomas Junior. You know, he's been explosive for us. 78 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 4: He's been a big bright spot for us offensively and 79 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 4: and and helped us win last week and and really 80 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 4: has had the success because of his hard work throughout 81 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,839 Speaker 4: the course of the season and what he's done and 82 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 4: and uh excited for him to finish finish this year 83 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 4: strong and finish. 84 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 5: The right way. 85 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 2: I thought that uh part of the reason he's having 86 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 2: so much great succeps. Obviously, Mac Jones played really well 87 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 2: last week, his best game for you guys yet. But 88 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 2: I think you guys as a coaching staff are doing 89 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 2: a really good job of kind of hiding him because 90 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 2: the opponents are having a hard time of kind of 91 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 2: dialing in and getting him doubled. I mean, how important 92 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 2: is that when you have a player of Brian's caliber 93 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 2: that the opponent knows that the ball is going to 94 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 2: go to him to make sure that they can't do 95 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 2: extra to stop him. 96 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 4: You know, for us, it's it's everything, you know, we want. 97 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 4: We want to move him around because sometimes what we've 98 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 4: seen lately is there our opponent's number one corner will 99 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 4: travel with Brian, especially early in a football game, but 100 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 4: then they realize that we're moving him around the field, 101 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 4: and then they finally just go, no, let's just double 102 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 4: them with a safety. So it kind of takes some 103 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 4: things away defensively what they want to do. Schematically, it 104 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 4: adds another resource. Usually a safety is what we've seen, 105 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 4: you know, over the top of a corner or you know, 106 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 4: maybe the second corner, whoever that is. And so the 107 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 4: ability to move Brian around has really not only helped Brian, 108 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 4: but it's also helped our offense have more explosive plays, 109 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 4: stay on the field third down wise, and really being 110 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 4: able to. 111 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 5: Kind of execute the things we want to get done. 112 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 2: How many rookies have you coached in this position that 113 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 2: have been able or could have handled what Brian is 114 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 2: handling at this point? Because look, I mean the injuries 115 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 2: that you've had at the wide receiver position, and I'm 116 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,559 Speaker 2: not talking about the team performance. I'm just talking about 117 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 2: Brian specifically. How many guys have you ever coached it 118 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 2: could have handled what Brian has handled this year. 119 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 4: You know, there are two guys that come to mind, 120 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 4: and there were both and I didn't I didn't coach 121 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 4: him as a rookie, but Deshaun Jackson in Philadelphia was 122 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 4: a guy that that Andy Reid drafted and they put 123 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 4: a lot on his plate early. I remember, I didn't 124 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 4: get there till his second year. But and then Jeremy Macklin, 125 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 4: the kid out of Missouri, he was another one that 126 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 4: we felt and I was there when we drafted him, 127 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 4: and so a guy like that, we were able to 128 00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 4: kind of load his plate just a little bit. Sma 129 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 4: Art intellectual receivers, and Brian's the same way. Brian's right 130 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 4: there with with the both of those two, and probably 131 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 4: a touch better because you know, he's been able to 132 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 4: handle the volume of of you know, information that we've 133 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 4: given him. Each week we're lining up in the slot, 134 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 4: lining him outside not just the Z but also the X. 135 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 4: And you've seen him from time to time out of 136 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 4: the backfield and putting him in different different positions. So 137 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 4: being able to do that with with with a guy 138 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 4: like Brian, you see it every week. You see it 139 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 4: with Justin Jefferson out of the backfield. You see it 140 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 4: with ross A Brown and Detroit coming out of the backfield. 141 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 4: You see Justin Jefferson doing those things you see top 142 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 4: receivers because it's ways of getting the football into into 143 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 4: your best, really your best skill player's hands and let 144 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 4: him go, let him go do his stuff. 145 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 3: Head coach Doug Peterson with us back in that week 146 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 3: five games, Jonathan Taylor was inactive for the Indianapolis Colts. 147 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,919 Speaker 3: But he's certainly been active the last few weeks for Indianapolis. 148 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 3: Four hundred and fifty yards over the last three games 149 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 3: and then the last two weeks five combined touchdowns. I 150 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 3: mean that he's really starting to warm up late in 151 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 3: the season. So how do you contain Taylor? 152 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 4: It's all hands, all eyes on deck. Really, he's playing 153 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 4: exceptionally well here down the stretch. And and you're right, 154 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 4: we didn't see him in that first game. We didn't 155 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 4: even see Anthony Richardson, so we don't, you know, we 156 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 4: still don't know if we'll see Anthony Richardson this week. 157 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 4: But speaking of Jonathan Taylor, he's been a dynamic running 158 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 4: back not only in Indianapolis but in this league for 159 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 4: for a while now, and and he's playing probably the 160 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 4: best he's played in a long long time, and probably 161 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 4: feels fresh and healthy and all that too, So that helps. 162 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 4: And you know, for us, it's just got to be 163 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 4: gap sound, gap discipline, you your eyes. You've got to 164 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 4: trust your eyes, trust your instincts, trust the things you've 165 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 4: been working on during the week of practice. And and 166 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 4: then you have to tackle. You have to get these 167 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 4: guys on the ground. Otherwise they're gonna break arm tackles, 168 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 4: they're gonna you know, they're gonna fall forward for an 169 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 4: extra four to six yards, and those are those can 170 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 4: be demoralizing, right, Those can be the difference of a 171 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 4: of a third and six or seven or a third 172 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 4: and two, third and one, you know, particularly on second down. 173 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 4: So you know, it's just an all hands on deck. 174 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 4: Just stay disciplined, trust your trust, your keys. 175 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 2: What's kind of going to be interesting to watch is 176 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 2: who's going to play quarterback, because I mean that effects 177 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 2: stopping Jonathan Taylor Anthony Richardson as a runner, Joe Flacco 178 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 2: is not. But Joe Flacco is a guy that if 179 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 2: you look at the numbers with Alec Pearce and Pittman, 180 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 2: they're vastly different with Joe as opposed to Anthony Richardson. 181 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a it's a run first style with with Anthony, 182 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 4: and it's probably a throw first. 183 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 5: Style with with Joe. And we got Joe the first 184 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 5: game and. 185 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 4: He he did Joe like things other than you know, 186 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 4: Joe's not a scrambler, but he scrambled you remember late 187 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 4: in that game, and and I think they went down 188 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 4: to score a touchdown. So yeah, it's two different two 189 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 4: different Uh. I think philosophies, two different, uh sort of 190 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 4: game plans that you. 191 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 5: Got to be prepared for. Uh. 192 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 4: But but really I think having the experience of playing 193 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 4: Joe Flacco like we did earlier in the year helps 194 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 4: us going into this ball game. 195 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 2: If I'm a pass rusher, I want Joe. Yeah, definitely, 196 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 2: you definitely do, because you're not. 197 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 4: Going to be standing on the line of scrimmage, at 198 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 4: least sitting on the line of scrimmage reading your. 199 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 5: Keys if the other guy's in there. 200 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 2: All right coach. 201 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 3: A couple of Pro bowlers announced earlier today, the Pro 202 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 3: Bowl rosters announced Logan Cook, Ross Mattisik will be starters 203 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 3: at the Pro Bowl, three alternates, btj Heinz Allen, and 204 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 3: Trayvon Walker. So you know, the specialists don't get a 205 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 3: lot of publicity except when things go wrong, right, But 206 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 3: Logan Cook's done a lot of good things right, and 207 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 3: mister reliable ross manisick as well. 208 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, happy for all five of those guys, and then 209 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 4: particularly you know, Ross and Logan. 210 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 5: I think this is Logan's first Pro Bowl. 211 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 4: It's Ross's back to back, I believe with him, and 212 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 4: then and then the other guys. You know, I felt 213 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 4: in my gut that BT would probably make it, but 214 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 4: maybe because he was a rookie and first alternate thoughs, 215 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 4: but first all defense that he could easily go. And 216 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 4: I think they'll all eventually go this year with with 217 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 4: the way whoever's in the postseason and all that kind 218 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 4: of stuff. But happy for all of them. They've they've been, 219 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 4: they've been workhorses for us. Logan's had a great year 220 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 4: obviously punting the football. We know BT and the other 221 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 4: guys do an outstanding job, so happy, happy for all five. 222 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 2: And I think one thing that Logan probably doesn't get 223 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 2: recognized for, as most punters probably don't, is how good 224 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 2: of a holder he is. And that kind of leads 225 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 2: me also to Cam Little, who has had a fantastic year. 226 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 2: And it reminds me also going back to the first 227 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 2: matchup against the Colts, he had the game winner forty 228 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 2: nine yards. How fortunate have you been to have a 229 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 2: rookie kicker who has come in and who has been 230 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 2: so reliable, dependable, but then also gives you the range 231 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 2: as a coach to make sound decisions because he has 232 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 2: that distance to him as well. 233 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 4: It's to be able to make those decisions makes it easier, 234 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 4: you know, knowing you've got you've got a ninety three 235 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 4: almost a ninety four percent make field goal guy, you 236 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 4: know in Cam and then you know, obviously, like as 237 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 4: you mentioned, Logan does a great job of holding it 238 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 4: and it kind of goes you know, unnoticed a little bit, 239 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 4: but especially late and he you know, like last week 240 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 4: in the rain, you know, he made a couple of 241 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 4: nice holes get the ball down and of course kicking 242 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 4: the field goal. But Cam has been a again you 243 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 4: talk about a bright spot for our team this year. 244 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 4: He's been he's been a bright spot for us. His 245 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 4: his kickoffs have been extraordinary. Obviously we know his field goals. 246 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 5: Have been extraordinary. And he's done an. 247 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 4: Outstanding job for a rookie kicker. I think he's leading 248 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 4: all rookie kickers that were drafted I think in percentage 249 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 4: and and things like that. So just excited about him 250 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 4: his future. And obviously you know Logan Holding and Ross. 251 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 4: I mean it's it's a good you know, a battery 252 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 4: of three as they say, uh, you know in that operation. 253 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 3: Coach, great stuff as always, good luck to you. Final 254 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 3: game of the season. Let's get another W and sweep 255 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 3: the Colts. 256 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 5: Sweep the Colts. I'd be great back. 257 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 2: To back sweeps of division rivals, Logs taking it. Nothing 258 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 2: wrong with that. I have a good one. 259 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 5: Good thank you. 260 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 2: Back in a moment. 261 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 3: This is the Doug Peterson Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. 262 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 1: Welcome back.

Man, Hey, it's what it is. 277 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 2: But Doug Peterson in the studio with us and then 278 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 2: one week to go, they know what it is. Try 279 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,559 Speaker 2: to win the game. It's not like you just fooled 280 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 2: over and put guys out there to get stuff on tape. 281 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 2: You gotta go earn it still and go play. Well. Look, 282 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 2: I think when you are where you are, which is 283 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 2: basically getting to wrap up a disappointing season, you try 284 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 2: to find any motivation that you possibly can, right, I mean, 285 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 2: just like you might find a fence to some words 286 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 2: that somebody else uses from another team just to get 287 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 2: you going, you know, having a chip, finding a way 288 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 2: to create a chip on your shoulder. And I think 289 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 2: for the Jaguars, look the opportunity to sweep the Colts 290 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 2: and then that would give them a four and two 291 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 2: record in the AFC South, which would be a winning record. Look, 292 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 2: it's it's something that's tangible. You can hold it, touch it. 293 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 2: And is it going to make you feel better at 294 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,559 Speaker 2: the end of the day. Maybe a little better. It'll 295 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 2: make the drinks go down easier in can kun next week, 296 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,679 Speaker 2: maybe a little better. But I mean it's not going 297 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 2: to erase the disappointment of the season overall, but at 298 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 2: least it's something that you can you can grab a 299 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 2: hold of. It provides you know, Look, when you're talking 300 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 2: to the team, you know that that blank stare. You 301 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 2: know that. I know, I'm aware of what a blank 302 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 2: blank stare that a team can have. Audience really got 303 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 2: a good ie well, I know, especially the people on radio. 304 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 2: When you've been mathematically eliminated for a number of weeks, 305 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 2: you kind of get that blank stare. But I mean, 306 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 2: you are professionals. You want to try to find ways 307 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 2: to motivate yourself and maybe something like this helps motivate 308 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 2: you. You know, why why not? Why not? 309 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 6: You know. 310 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 2: But the tough part is that it's not been easy 311 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 2: getting wins against the Colts in Indianapolis. Now in Jacksonville, 312 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 2: it's been a different story. I mean, it hasn't been 313 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 2: easy for the Jaguars to get wins most anywhere, you know, 314 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 2: I know, but the Colts, I think in the series 315 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 2: record I was just looking at because you have the 316 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 2: flip card right here. Colts have a really nice flip card. 317 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 2: Forty seven regular season meetings. The Indianapolis record is twenty 318 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 2: seven and twenty over the Jaguars. As you might expect, 319 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 2: the Colts record away is ten and fourteen. It has 320 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 2: been terrible of late, and their record at home seventeen 321 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 2: and six. Seventeen and six. Though, do you know when 322 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 2: the last time the Jaguars won in Indianapolis wasn't last year? 323 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 2: Week one? Wasn't it Ridley? It was, yeah, Calvin Ridley, Yeah, 324 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 2: first half of last year of that first week he 325 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 2: went off in the first half of that game. Interesting, 326 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 2: I think they won that game. I think so. I 327 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 2: think you might be right. The current Indianapolis streak, they 328 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 2: have lost three in a row, So you would be 329 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 2: correct because they lost both of them last year. There 330 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 2: you go, So I get so it could be a 331 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 2: sweep to your sweep, could be a two years sweep 332 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 2: to your sweep. Right. Kind of excited for the game too, because, Uh, 333 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 2: they've got some really good cocktail sauce in Indianapolis. They do. 334 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 2: They have the press box Sat Almo. They should. I 335 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 2: think that's a great idea. You know, it's funny. I 336 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 2: mean we're talking about Saint Almos Stuck Steakhouse in Indianapolis, 337 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 2: been there for like one hundred and twenty years or something. Yeah, 338 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 2: during the combine they actually bring samples over to media row. 339 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 2: Really at like ten in the morning, you're like slurping 340 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 2: down shrimping cocktails. Can you imagine having a bloody Mary 341 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 2: Rats a champion? That would be great. I'll wake you up. 342 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that'll wake that. Yeah, that the horse radish 343 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 2: in that woo We good stuff. Hey, let's come back 344 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 2: or not. 345 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 3: No, we'll come back and we'll talk about Brian Thomas, 346 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 3: Junior Jaguar wide receiver Pro Bowl alternate, the first. 347 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 2: Alternate in the AFC, any chance he could go, And 348 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 2: we'll follow up on some of the conversation that we 349 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,160 Speaker 2: had with Doug about Brian Thomas Junior, because I mean, 350 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 2: the question that I asked of him and the point 351 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 2: that I brought up to Doug, I mean is it's real. 352 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 2: I mean, how many players can handle what he has 353 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 2: been able to handle And obviously the circumstances had to 354 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 2: be just right for all of this to happen. That's 355 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 2: next on The Doug Peterson Show on Jaguars Radio. 356 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 1: Welcome Back The Doug Peterson Show continues right now. 357 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 3: The Doug Peterson Show presented by Fresh from Florida J P. 358 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 2: Shadrick with Jeff Logman. 359 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 3: We are on the Jaguars Radio Network, presented by the 360 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 3: University of Florida number one university and the US News 361 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 3: and World Reports number one state for education. The Jaguars 362 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 3: and the Colts coming up in week eighteen, both teams 363 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 3: out of the race. Brian Thomas Junior, though Jaguar's first 364 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 3: round pick wide receiver. 365 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 2: The rookie, there's no rookie wall for him. 366 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 3: He is fifth in the NFL and receiving yardage this year, 367 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 3: first among all rookie receivers. There are four rookies in 368 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 3: the league this year. Over one thousand yards receiving, which 369 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 3: is the first time that's happened. He won't chase down 370 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 3: Jamar Chase, who leads away with over sixteen hundred yards, 371 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 3: but he'll be in a race in the final week 372 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 3: to overtake amanas Saint Brown Cedee Lamb, so he could 373 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 3: finish third. Justin Jefferson's at fourteen hundred. It would take 374 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 3: a monster game to get there. 375 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 2: But BTJ hanging in there, still playing at a high level, 376 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 2: and it's really just grown as the season has gone 377 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,119 Speaker 2: for Brian, Yeah, and looking at some of the top 378 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 2: receivers in the league, you know, you got as far 379 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 2: as yards go, Jamar Chase won Justin Jefferson to Cede 380 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 2: Lamb three in Montter Saint Brown four, Brian five. I mean, 381 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 2: that's amazing company to be in. And I think what 382 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 2: will get better as as time goes is I always 383 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 2: look at catch percentage is kind of a big deal. 384 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 2: So it's like targets, actual catches and what the ratio 385 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 2: is there. You know, Jamar Chase is seventy two point 386 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 2: seven percent catch percentage, which is which is pretty good, right, 387 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 2: But Amna Saint Brown eighty one point three A top 388 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 2: twenty catch percentage. That means that when he gets targeted, 389 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 2: he is catching the ball. That's impressive, Brian, just for 390 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:38,479 Speaker 2: people curiosity. Sixty five point six. That puts him seventy 391 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 2: ninth in the league in catch percentage. And as you know, 392 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 2: you obviously want to have him get higher. But he's 393 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 2: going to be a big play guy. So I think 394 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,160 Speaker 2: it's catch percentage is never going to be that of 395 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 2: the AMNA Saint Brown because I think the depth of 396 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 2: target is going to be deeper for Brian on average 397 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 2: for his career. Usually, like the really high catch percentage 398 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 2: guys are running backs. You know they have the hi 399 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 2: tight ends, possession receivers in that range. Pat frar Mouth 400 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 2: of the Steelers the tight end is eighty five percent 401 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 2: catch percentage. It's eighth best in the NFL. Bucky Irvins 402 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,919 Speaker 2: Buccaneers running back number one. Yeah at catch percentage, that 403 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 2: makes it a Chaine running back for the Miami Dolphins. 404 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,400 Speaker 2: Number two Bejon Robinson's in there, Rashad White. I mean, 405 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 2: all running backs are all at the top of the 406 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 2: catch percentage. Yeah, there you go. 407 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 3: But Brian is uh, that'll come at some point when 408 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 3: the offense kind of gets it back together as a whole, 409 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,199 Speaker 3: I think, and there's connection and not as much change 410 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 3: the quarterback position. 411 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 2: Right, I mean Trevor Lawrence. And actually a lot of 412 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 2: the success in the last back part of the season 413 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 2: last month has been with Mac Jones throwing it up 414 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 2: there and missing him sometimes and then Brian not connecting 415 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 2: with him. And they've got to work on this offseason, 416 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 2: Brian Thomas Junior and Trevor Lawrence getting back in the 417 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 2: Centre's still a lot of meat left on the roof. 418 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 2: And I also think that, you know, at the beginning 419 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,720 Speaker 2: of this year, Brian was kind of an afterthought because look, 420 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 2: he's a rookie. You know, a lot of times rookies 421 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 2: got to prove themselves right, so they're not the focal 422 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 2: point of the game plan. But I think what makes 423 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 2: this last game interesting besides, you know, can the Jaguars 424 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 2: get a sweep of the Colts and can they end 425 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 2: the season on a winning note with a winning record 426 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 2: in the division, is where does Brian Thomas Junior fall 427 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 2: amongst the other rookies. So we're gonna have kind of 428 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 2: a rookie watch throughout the course of the game because 429 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 2: Malik Neighbors is I believe like thirty nine yards behind him. 430 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 2: Brock Bowers is behind him as well, and I think 431 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 2: he's like thirty four yards behind him. So who's going 432 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 2: to have the rookie title for the most yards receiving? 433 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 2: And Malik Neighbors is a former teammate. Look friendly competition 434 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 2: right between LSU guys. They talk to each other. He 435 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 2: said that the other day. I mean, I don't think 436 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 2: they've made any bets or anything like that. So we're 437 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 2: not tracking it for that reason. We're just saying that 438 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 2: it's pretty cool because it's Look, you always want to 439 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 2: beat a former teammate of yours. And we'll also be 440 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,960 Speaker 2: looking at where he falls in NFL history amongst rookie 441 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 2: and when it comes to receiving yards, because the list 442 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 2: there is flush with LSU alum but Brian has a 443 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 2: legitimate opportunity to crack the five, the top five and 444 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 2: surpass one of the great receivers of all time, Randy Moss. 445 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 2: That's an all time rookie season there. So here's the 446 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 2: numbers that now. 447 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 3: People would argue that he should have be a Rookie 448 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 3: of the Year, that should have been Fred Taylor. 449 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,199 Speaker 2: That year ninety eight. Yeah, I mean, look at but 450 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 2: Randy Moss put up with seventeen touchdowns. Well, the touchdowns 451 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 2: made the difference with that Fred didn't have the touchdown 452 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 2: because James Stewart got them all. That's right. But if 453 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 2: you look at where he could be right now, he 454 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 2: is eighth in NFL history and with all time rookie 455 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 2: receiving yards in his rookie season, and he needs fifteen 456 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 2: yards to pass Michael Clayton, who, by the way, is 457 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 2: an LSU guy. Yeah, ninety what back in the ninety 458 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 2: eight ninety eight somewhere there, OBJ is at six. If 459 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 2: he gets one hundred and twenty seven yards receiving in 460 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 2: this game, he passes OBJ LSU guy. Also, if he 461 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,479 Speaker 2: passes Randy Moss, he will need one hundred and thirty 462 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 2: five yards receiving. That's doable. It's definitely doable, doable, totally doable. 463 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 2: I mean, I think Brian's capable of one hundred and 464 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 2: eighty yard game if given the right opportunity. Not going 465 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 2: to be easy against Gus Bradley. Gus plays everybody back 466 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:47,919 Speaker 2: a little bit. But if I'm Mac Jones, I'm throwing 467 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 2: the ball towards Brian Thomas Junior. I'm gonna I'm gonna 468 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 2: make sure that he's got an opportunity at climbing and 469 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 2: getting to those numbers. 470 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 3: A pretty good idea if you're Mac Jones, We're back 471 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 3: in a moment.

The Doug Peterson Show continues right now. 478 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 6: Ever since the relief, just because I feel like I've 479 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 6: had a. 480 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 2: Few seasons that were good enough. 481 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 6: Again, it's all part of God's time and that's something 482 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 6: that I've had to trust and it's kind of sometimes 483 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 6: it's hard. It's hard to trust that, you know. But yeah, 484 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 6: it all worked out when it was supposed to work out. 485 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 6: So I'm excited. I mean, I think statistically yes, as 486 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,199 Speaker 6: of now, know we have one more game left. It 487 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 6: was definitely by far my best until Oakland, just kind 488 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 6: of down game, which you know those are gonna happen, 489 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,439 Speaker 6: and but uh yeah, I think probably statistically probably one 490 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 6: of my best. 491 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 2: So Logan Cook, pro Bowl punter for the Jaguars, announced 492 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 2: earlier today he's headed to Orlando for the Pro Bowl games. 493 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 2: I'm exactly sure what punting games there are there, but 494 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 2: we'll find out, I suppose in January. 495 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 6: J P. 496 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 2: Shaddick, Jeff Lockerman.

He was also 501 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 2: a first team Associated Press All Pro selection last year 502 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 2: and those have yet to be named. But for Logan Cook, 503 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 2: a guy who's been punting at a high level really 504 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 2: his entire career, he finally gets an honor that's very 505 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 2: much deserved. The amazing thing too, to me is that 506 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 2: he's a right footed punter and he throws lefty. Yeah 507 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,400 Speaker 2: right right? I mean, is that kind of weird? Uh huh? 508 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 2: He hasn't had one this year, a fake yet, has he? Like? No? 509 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 2: But I think that, you know, I mean, I think 510 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 2: a lot of the special teams coordinated probably realize that 511 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 2: he does punt right and then throw left now because 512 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 2: he's been around the league for a little bit and 513 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 2: teams have seen. You know, special teams coaches will keep 514 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 2: a catalog of every fake that a punter or a 515 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 2: special teams coordinator has ever had. Well, he's been perfect career. 516 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 2: Logan's been perfect four a four passing for four first downs. 517 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 2: But I remember when when the Jaguars got Logan Cook 518 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 2: and the special teams coordinator was all excited that he 519 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 2: had a right footed punter that threw left, because most 520 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 2: at that time the teams in the league didn't know that, 521 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 2: and so there was a level of excitement because he 522 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 2: felt that they were going to surprise whichever team that 523 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 2: they used the fake on first, because they would not 524 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 2: be expecting a left handed thrower. And I believe it 525 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 2: was Joe de Kamelis back then, sure, and he was 526 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 2: a little more apt to roll the dice and hero 527 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 2: once in a while pick and shoes. I think you 528 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 2: know where you are at in the season. But Logan 529 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 2: has been very effective as a as a thrower, and look, 530 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 2: Logan's an athlete. You know, there's a lot of punters 531 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 2: that I don't know if I would consider being a 532 00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 2: great athlete. You know, just because you play professional football 533 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 2: and you're a punter doesn't mean you make you a 534 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 2: great athlete, makes you a really good punter or a 535 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 2: great punter. But I think he's a I think he's 536 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 2: a very good athlete overall. Logan punter, Logan Cook. Excuse me, 537 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 2: logan punter, right, yeah, you know what it is. That's 538 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,480 Speaker 2: his middle name, Punters, you know, Logan punter Cook. And 539 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:36,120 Speaker 2: from a. 540 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 3: Long snapper perspective, I mean Ross mattisk had some linebacker 541 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 3: experience in college early and then spot they would actually 542 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 3: let him long snap and play some linebacker too at 543 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 3: the same time. So he has that at least awareness 544 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 3: of how to make him play when he finally does 545 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 3: get down the field, and he has help around him 546 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,360 Speaker 3: to teach him some of the tricks of the trade. 547 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 3: And it's paid off certainly last year with the of 548 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 3: tackles of force, fumble recovery. And it's not every long 549 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 3: snapper in the league is somebody you have to account for. 550 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 2: I think Heath Farwell said it best today in this presser, 551 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 2: which for those people that want to see to go 552 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 2: to Jaguars dot com and you can watch the video 553 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 2: of the coordinators that spoke today, and Heath Farwell talked 554 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 2: about how a lot of long snappers snap the ball 555 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 2: and then really aren't much of a factor in coverage. 556 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,400 Speaker 2: In fact, many of them are a non factor. So 557 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 2: they'll put sometimes nobody to block the long snapper because 558 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 2: the long snapper just wants to snap and he's he 559 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 2: doesn't want to get dirty. Well, Ross is a legitimate 560 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 2: coverage threat. He makes tackles, he gets down the field fast, 561 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 2: and he was very accurate today and describing how teams 562 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 2: account for Ross as a coverage player. And that's the 563 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 2: high level of respective one of the reasons why that 564 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 2: Ross is a two time Pro bowler. Now he's very 565 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 2: good at what he does, not only snapping, but also 566 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 2: in the covered stuff. When we return the Jaguars defense 567 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 2: coming up this week, how do they stop Jonathan Taylor. 568 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 2: It's not going to be easy. Just let me add 569 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 2: one little thing about Ross manasic because once you snap, 570 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 2: there's also something that you have to do before you cover, 571 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 2: which is protect A lot of coordinators. Opposing coordinators know 572 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 2: that the snapper's head is down and they have a 573 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 2: hard time picking up their blocking responsibility. Ross is never 574 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 2: a target in that category. He's excellent blocker as well. 575 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 3: Back in the moment, It's The Doug Peterson Show on 576 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 3: Jaguars Radio. 577 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Doug Peterson Show continues right now. 578 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 3: We're on the Jaguars Radio Network, presented by the University 579 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 3: of Florida at number one university in the US News 580 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 3: and World Reports, number one state for education. It's The 581 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 3: Doug Peterson Show, presented by Fresh from Florida JP Shadwick 582 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 3: with Jeff Vlogoman or thanks to head coach Doug Peterson 583 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 3: in the opening segment. Each and every week this twenty 584 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 3: twenty four campaign, it has one week raigning. The Jaguars 585 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 3: are in Indianapolis this Sunday at one o'clock kickoff time 586 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 3: at Lucas Oil Stadium against the also eliminated Indianapolis Colts. 587 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson Colts quarterback on the injury report again this 588 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 3: week with a back issue, has not practiced either day, 589 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 3: so Joe Flacco most likely will get the time of 590 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 3: the game. And they've had a real burst lately in 591 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 3: the running game with Jonathan Taylor over the last three weeks, 592 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 3: going for four hundred and fifty yards combined in those 593 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 3: three outings and five touchdowns over the last two weeks. 594 00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor getting hot, but too little, too late for 595 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 3: the Colts. They obviously lost last week to the Giant 596 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 3: skin eliminated. 597 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,160 Speaker 2: But he's still a threat. 598 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 3: And he hasn't been on the field a lot against 599 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 3: the Jaguars over the last couple of years. 600 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 2: No, And I think when Anthony Richardson is on the field, 601 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 2: it makes it a little more difficult to stop Jonathan 602 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 2: Taylor because you're also factoring in that Anthony Richardson is 603 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 2: a potential carrier of the ball, and when Joe Flacco's 604 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 2: out there, you're not factoring him in because he can't 605 00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 2: run anywhere. But the one thing that he can do 606 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 2: is throw the ball better than Anthony Richardson. So it's 607 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 2: kind of like, Okay, give and take, give and take. 608 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 2: And I think that the Colts will score have the 609 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 2: ability to score more points with Joe Flacco at the 610 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 2: helm than with Anthony Richardson, but they definitely have the 611 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 2: ability to run the ball better with Anthony Richardson at 612 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 2: the helm. Jaguars defense just has to stick with it though, 613 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 2: and be in the right place, the gaps everything Doug 614 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 2: Peterson just talked about earlier in this show. Well, look, look, 615 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 2: the defense has had a tough year. I mean, let's 616 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 2: be honest. I mean they're bottom of the league and 617 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 2: nearly every category from total defense to points allowed, to 618 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 2: pass defense, takeaways. The one area that they're not in 619 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:09,760 Speaker 2: the bottom five is run defense, and in some games 620 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 2: they've been really good in that category. And so this 621 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,080 Speaker 2: is a game that you have to be really good 622 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 2: in that category. But if Joe Flacco's playing quarterback as 623 00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 2: we expect, you also have to be able to communicate 624 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 2: in the back end. Otherwise you're gonna get scorched like 625 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 2: you did at the end of the Colt Scan the 626 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 2: first time in Jacksonville. So, you know, pick your poison, 627 00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 2: I mean, JP, if you're a defensive player or just 628 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 2: right now, who would you rather see, Anthony Richardson or 629 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 2: Joe Flacco? Depends on what part of the way with 630 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor, which one do you want? Well, it depends 631 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 2: on what part of the defense I'm in, right, Okay, 632 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 2: If you're just you know, JP, Shadwick, who do you 633 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 2: want to see? I mean Richardson runs it around a 634 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 2: whole lot more and you never know what he's gonna do. Right, 635 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 2: Flacco's going to stand in there and throw it around. 636 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 2: I don't want to see Flacco. I'd rather see Anthony 637 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 2: Richardson because having Anthony Richardson on the field really minimizes 638 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:12,360 Speaker 2: the impact that an Alec Pierce and the other wide 639 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 2: receiver of Pittman, Michael Pittman, can have. And Pittman, thank goodness, 640 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 2: signed a contract last year based on more potential in 641 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 2: what he did with previous quarterbacks and not so much 642 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 2: with Anthony Richardson, because Anthony Richardson doesn't throw him the 643 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 2: ball enough to warrant a big contract. Well, we also we. 644 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,760 Speaker 3: Saw it back in Week five between these teams that 645 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 3: the Jaguars secondary in key moments can lose focus. And 646 00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 3: Alec Pierce had a big fourth quarter in that game 647 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 3: with throwing him in the football and you got to 648 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 3: stay focused on the back end, especially with Flacco, he 649 00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 3: can take advantage of some of those mistakes. 650 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 2: Pierce had in the closing moments of that game. In 651 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 2: Week five, he had three catches for one hundred and 652 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:02,040 Speaker 2: thirty four yards in a touchdown and was a non 653 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 2: factor throughout the majority of the whole game. Anything you know. 654 00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 2: But let's go back to last week. Okay, the Jaguar 655 00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:14,200 Speaker 2: was able to get the job done against Tennessee. Okay, 656 00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 2: great job. Antonio Johnson had a really nice play the 657 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 2: pass breakup the PBu at the end of the game there, 658 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 2: which kind of ended the comeback. But you go back 659 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,640 Speaker 2: a couple of plays prior to that, Anthony Antonio Johnson 660 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 2: lost the tight end on a wheel route and if 661 00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 2: the ball had been thrown accurately by Mason Rudolph to Oconquo, 662 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 2: that would have been a touchdown. And so the one 663 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 2: thing that was good about that game is that it 664 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:49,359 Speaker 2: seemed that that Dewey Winger's presence really calmed things down, 665 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 2: clean things up a little bit. This week, you get 666 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 2: Savage back. It be expecting to get Savage back. He's 667 00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,799 Speaker 2: cleared from the protocol. We'll see kind of how that 668 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 2: rotation works. But but I'm looking forward to seeing how 669 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 2: they're going to rotate that and can they take another 670 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 2: step in getting cleaner in the back app We'll return 671 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,760 Speaker 2: with look at Mac Jones. Will this be his final 672 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 2: outing with the Jaguars? I would think so. But we'll 673 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,959 Speaker 2: talk about it. We will when we come back. 674 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 3: Register your free friend the Jaguars Official Four Legged Band 675 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:29,479 Speaker 3: Club for Pets, presented by Forever Vets Animal Hospital.

The Jaguars in the 682 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,399 Speaker 3: Indianapolis Colts coming up this Sunday at one o'clock kickoff time. 683 00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 3: Lucas Oil Stadium, Downtown Indianapolis the site and could it 684 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:07,280 Speaker 3: be the final game in a Jaguars uniform for Mac Jones, 685 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:10,719 Speaker 3: a quarterback. It's the final year of his rookie contract. 686 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,440 Speaker 3: He came over, of course in a trade in the 687 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,239 Speaker 3: off season, and he's had significant playing time, of course, 688 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 3: with Trevor Lawrence out with the shoulder. 689 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 2: Injury and concussion. And the two and four record so 690 00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 2: far for Mac Jones sixty six percent passing just over 691 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:34,000 Speaker 2: fourteen hundred yards, seven touchdowns, seven picks. Where you stand 692 00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 2: on Mac and you know, free agent after this year, 693 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,879 Speaker 2: would you bring him back around? What's the feel here? Well, 694 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, you're not going to be 695 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:47,840 Speaker 2: willing to pay him top money to compete for a 696 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 2: starting job, because that's what Mac Jones, I'm sure is 697 00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 2: going to be looking for, you know, to be opportunity 698 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,239 Speaker 2: to be the guy again. He's not going to get 699 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 2: a clear cut Hey, you're our guy. We're paying you, 700 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,240 Speaker 2: and you're going to be our guy for the next 701 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,360 Speaker 2: you know, four or five years, and here's a big contract. 702 00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 2: He's not going to get that. He'll get a come 703 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 2: in and compete kind of a contract from somebody, and 704 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 2: but that's more money than hey, come in and compete 705 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 2: and be a backup money. The reality is is that 706 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,719 Speaker 2: look at his record, look at his stats, and then 707 00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:21,880 Speaker 2: also look at the number of points that he's been 708 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,400 Speaker 2: able to generate as the starter with the Jaguars. It's 709 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 2: a little bit over thirteen a game, which is not 710 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 2: a very high number. But I give him credit. You know, 711 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 2: there's a lot of quarterbacks that need time on tax 712 00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,439 Speaker 2: to be able to get better, and he definitely got 713 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 2: better this past game. It was his best game as 714 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 2: a pro and one two rating. He was effishing, he 715 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 2: protected the ball. The weather conditions weren't perfect. I thought 716 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 2: he did a good job. Best game as a Jaguar, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 717 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 2: best game as a Jaguar exactly. I meant to say that, 718 00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,640 Speaker 2: but it didn't come out that way. And I thought 719 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 2: his feet were very calm. He didn't have the happy feet, 720 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 2: he wasn't indecisive, and I thought that went a long way. 721 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,040 Speaker 2: And give some credit to the offensive line because they 722 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,719 Speaker 2: enabled him to be that way. And I think in 723 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 2: weeks past, you know, from talking to Doug Peterson, you 724 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:11,960 Speaker 2: and I and the week before we'd asked him about, 725 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,000 Speaker 2: you know, what do you want to see better out 726 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 2: of Mac? And he said, I want him to trust it, 727 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:20,399 Speaker 2: to trust the protection, to trust the offense. And that's 728 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,960 Speaker 2: a matter of calming the world down a little bit 729 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,280 Speaker 2: and making sure that your feet are calm, your mind 730 00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,719 Speaker 2: is calm, and your thought process is clean. And I 731 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 2: thought it really showed in this game. His feet were 732 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 2: really good. He was able to step into his throws, 733 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 2: and when he's able to do that, he can be accurate. 734 00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 2: You know, go back to the last preseason game against 735 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 2: Atlanta where he started you know, when all the starters 736 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,760 Speaker 2: were basically out, I thought it was a very similar 737 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,719 Speaker 2: performance to that, and that's kind of what we were 738 00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,880 Speaker 2: expecting all year, but we didn't get it in the 739 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 2: previous games. I thought there was a little bit of 740 00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 2: panic in him at times, and he didn't see the 741 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 2: field because when he'd see a flash, his eyes would 742 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 2: drop and then he would want to take off, and 743 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 2: then he didn't keep his eyes down the field. And 744 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 2: at times he did that without any illegitimate flash of 745 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 2: oncoming danger. So I hope he gets better because if 746 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,400 Speaker 2: he gets better in this game, then what teams are 747 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 2: gonna do. They're gonna go back and they're gonna look 748 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 2: at their evaluation of him when he was coming out. 749 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:21,480 Speaker 2: There's some teams out there they're gonna have a very 750 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 2: good grade on him when he was coming out. Then 751 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 2: they're gonna look at the situation in New England as well. 752 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,759 Speaker 2: You know, hey, look it wasn't the best situation. He 753 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:34,359 Speaker 2: had inexperienced offensive coordinators, he didn't get great coaching, and 754 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,839 Speaker 2: then he went to Jacksonville started off rough, but then 755 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,879 Speaker 2: he improved and then he showed if he could put 756 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 2: together one more good game here he could make millions. 757 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 2: He could make millions with another performance similar to what 758 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 2: he just had or better this week. He could make 759 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 2: millions of dollars off of that alone. No pressure, Mac, 760 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:02,920 Speaker 2: It's the NFL, A professional football. What happens. There's pressure everywhere. 761 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,439 Speaker 2: It's just the reality of it, you know. And look, 762 00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 2: I hope he plays great. Yeah I do. I mean, look, 763 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 2: I'm always rooting for him. I remember watching him at 764 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,240 Speaker 2: Bowls and when he was at Alabama, I was hoping 765 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 2: he would do good. I mean, he's a hometown guy, 766 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,800 Speaker 2: and you don't want him to play well for our team. 767 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 2: Let's come back. 768 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 3: Final thoughts ahead of this week eighteen matchup Jaguars Colts 769 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,239 Speaker 3: coming up this Sunday.

It's been a year, 776 00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 2: let's say that. Yeah, I think that would be accurate. 777 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:05,719 Speaker 2: Been a tough year, you know, and you know that 778 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,000 Speaker 2: the year is wrapping up. You know, you hope that 779 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:12,560 Speaker 2: going forward there's some clarity number one and number two, 780 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:15,560 Speaker 2: that the health of your quarterback, in the direction of 781 00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:20,640 Speaker 2: your quarterback is all pointing up. You know, because in 782 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 2: order to have one of these franchises that it's always 783 00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:27,960 Speaker 2: at the top, you've got to have great leadership, but 784 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:32,480 Speaker 2: you've got to have great quarterback play. And uh, you know, 785 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 2: I hope, I hope that all of that can be achieved, 786 00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,520 Speaker 2: you know, for for the fan base hear in Jacksonville. 787 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:43,400 Speaker 2: We'll see what happens after this game. You know, after 788 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,040 Speaker 2: the game, you've got to figure out what the plan 789 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,520 Speaker 2: is moving ahead. Yeah, I mean it's you know, a 790 00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:52,719 Speaker 2: little bit of the unknown, right It's Yeah. I think 791 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,719 Speaker 2: I think both teams are kind of in that kind 792 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,839 Speaker 2: of conversation right now. I think the Colts fans, I think, 793 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:03,160 Speaker 2: four consecutive years without without a postseason appearance, and and 794 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,600 Speaker 2: there's some questions on is that a discipline group and 795 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 2: is there accountability there? And you know, with their quarterback situation, 796 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 2: that's that's a that's a tough place to be in, 797 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,560 Speaker 2: you know. And and here in Jacksonville. You got a 798 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,720 Speaker 2: quarterback who you know, got a big extension and wasn't 799 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 2: able to perform at the level of expectation. Team wasn't 800 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:26,279 Speaker 2: at the level of expectation. Quarterback ended up being heard 801 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,520 Speaker 2: at the end of the year, you know, shoulder issue, concussion, 802 00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 2: you know. So there's you know, a lot of a 803 00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,719 Speaker 2: lot of concern and a lot of I think, uh 804 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 2: uh want of knowing to what's going to what the 805 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,720 Speaker 2: future holds, and nobody really knows. 806 00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 3: That nobody knows, but the future at least immediately is 807 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 3: Week eighteen in Indianapolis Lucas Oil Stadium. Jaguars have a 808 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 3: chance to sweep the Colts in the season series and 809 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:57,240 Speaker 3: finish the year with a winning record in the AFC South. 810 00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 2: Something to grab a hold of. It's yes, something and 811 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:05,399 Speaker 2: uh and and again something to look forward to. Look 812 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,520 Speaker 2: Brian Thomas Junior and how he finishes the year where 813 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,920 Speaker 2: he ranks with all the other rookies. Also in NFL history. 814 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,320 Speaker 2: I love watching this team play, always have and Brian 815 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:22,480 Speaker 2: Thomas Junior adds another element of love for watching my team. 816 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,759 Speaker 2: Oh this I think with this twenty twenty four, we're 817 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,480 Speaker 2: talking about it. This franchise the look. I love watching 818 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 2: this organization win or lose. It's my team. Yeah, Okay. 819 00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:36,279 Speaker 2: Brian Thomas Junior has added a level of fun of 820 00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 2: watching this team when there hasn't been anything that this 821 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 2: team's been playing for. And I appreciate him, I really do, 822 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 2: because I know how hard it is for rookie receivers 823 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,279 Speaker 2: to have an impact in this game. In fact, you 824 00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,160 Speaker 2: can have a long conversation about John Osher and some 825 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:57,360 Speaker 2: of the great cult receivers Reggie Wayne, Marvin Harrison that 826 00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 2: didn't come out of the gate and just weren't automatically 827 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,720 Speaker 2: great receiver. Especially Reggie Wayne. It took him a while. Sure, 828 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,920 Speaker 2: very rarely does a rookie wide receiver waltz onto the 829 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:10,319 Speaker 2: scene and have an impact similar to Brian Thomas Jr. 830 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:14,359 Speaker 2: In the circumstances kind of helped that along, I guess 831 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,320 Speaker 2: you could say in some respects because of the injuries 832 00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:17,080 Speaker 2: to the other guys. 833 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,719 Speaker 3: Jaguars All Access Television Tonight, Fox thirty an hour. 834 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,200 Speaker 2: Tonight, we got an hour long special with a specialist. 835 00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:26,440 Speaker 2: You got three guys, you don't want to spend some 836 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 2: time with them? You coulda get some time and Ellen, 837 00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,320 Speaker 2: I'm hopeful for a wing break a Strange Sports Brewery 838 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:34,640 Speaker 2: tonight in Springfield. 839 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,879 Speaker 3: Go check him out to seven o'clock start or thanks 840 00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,239 Speaker 3: to head coach Doug Peters and our entire crew.
