Speaker 1 (00:05):
This is the Jaguars Broadcast Weekend review podcasts presented by EverBank.
I'm JV. Shadwick with the best of the week from
Jags Radio, Jaguars dot Com, and Jaguars YouTube. The Jaguars
hosts the Baltimore Ravens in week fifteen on Sunday Night Football.
But first the word of the week communication. It started
with a review of the week fourteen lost to the
(00:25):
Cleveland Browns with Pete Prisco, Tony Biselli, and Jeff Logoman
on Jaguars Happy Hour Radio Monday, recorded live at Mister
Chubby's Wings in Panavidra Beach.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Well, let's be real. You got to give the quarterback
credit for playing, but he was not very good at moments.
But I think there were other issues at play, including
you know, wide receiver running the wrong route, which Calvin
Ridley clearly did. It was miscommunication there. I think that,
you know, defensively, they can't get to the quarterback. I mean,
(00:56):
if Josh Allen doesn't get there, nobody's getting there. Then
that's two weeks in a row. You made Jake Browning
and Joe Flacco two backups, one almost years old, shred
you throwing the football there were way too many busts
and I tried to go through and you guys might
be able to watch the tape on the way home
today from Kansas City. The busts in the secondary, I
(01:18):
attribute number one to Rayshawn Jenkins, number two to a Luacan,
and number three I was trying to get an idea
who that was. It was either Darius Williams or Rashon Jenkins.
I couldn't quite figure that one out. But my gosh,
you talk about guys running wide open. That can't happen,
and so you combine it all together and it was
(01:40):
not a very good day for the Jacksonville Jaguars in Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
So I'll let Jeff be because we talked about those
busts on defense, and I agree with you. The worst
part of that game for me is really you beat
yourself at the end of the day. Now, there's certain
things that give Cleveland credit. They are more fizzle at
the line of scrimmagon we were. They did, you know,
some good things, but you take away three bus on defense,
(02:07):
that's a completely different game. And all that, Jeff, because
we talked about who's who we think, I mean, we're
making some assumptions based on what we know about the
defense and how they play, so all that, Jeff kind
of go through each of those and kind of what
he saw on tape.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
All right, So the first one Pete, which was a
third and one, and essentially the Browns are in a
goal line personnel grouping. The Jaguars match with a goal
line defensive grouping, and they're bringing pressure off the outside edges.
And when you do that, a lot of times you
ask a defensive end or a linebacker to play man
(02:42):
on a tight end. And it looked like from watching
it that Trayvon was in man coverage on Nadjoku and in.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Order to do that.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
A lot of people say, well, how can you ask
a guy like Trayvon to do that? Well, you beat
him up at the line of scrimmage to where he
can't release, and you expect him to be able to
run with the Joku because Joku was not a guy
that has blazing speed. I think it was on Trayvon
with that one. The second one to Najoku, I think
it was Foyer got too aggressive on a run read
(03:13):
and then got caught and then he couldn't end up
backing out and covering ground and Devin Lloyd never even moved.
He didn't buy the run fake. He was pointing in
the direction of where the tight end was going, and
Foyer was just so fast going downhill. And now the
last one, which was the completion to the bell guy.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Yet Bell Bell.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Okay, when when they started out the wide receiver, one
of the wide receivers was out wide, and you're you're
in man coverage, and when the motion comes in, you're
essentially playing an in and out, so you're playing man,
but you're saying, Okay, if one guy goes in, I
got him, another guy stays at the outside, I got him.
A little confusion there between Darius and ray Sewan because
(03:56):
they both went to cover the same guy. And then
when Darius realized that they both were going to the
same guy and that he, in my opinion, he was
supposed to be on the outside guy and he realized
that he plants his foot, slips, goes down to the ground,
and by then it's too late, so that one is
just miss miscommunication.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
But the bottom line, right, Jack, you can play that
two different ways. You either go in and out or
you just play it straight and and let the in
guy go to Jenkins and and he stays with the
outside guy. I mean that you could do that too, But.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
You can and say okay, we're staying. Yeah, it's you know,
you can play cat coverage with just say I got
that cat. It doesn't matter what they do, right, Okay,
But then you can also play okay, I got the
guy that goes in, you got the guy that goes.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Out Banjo, right and.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah, but Pete to your point though, I mean, you
look at this game and I've said I said it
since the game yesterday. The Jaguars beat themselves with misdessignments,
blown coverages, which is miss assignments, turnovers, and stupid penalties.
It wasn't like they were you know, the big fear
(05:04):
going the game is is Miles Garrett in the you know,
just gonna take over the game?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Block him?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Can they block them? It's gonna be just a complete
mess because of the injuries offensive line, well, for the
most part, it was not, and they Trevor had time
to operate. Now, they still can't run the ball, and
we talked about that already. I mean it's like they
can't run between the tackles. They physically can't do it.
But as far as overall, if you don't have the
missed assignments, and you know, including blown coverages, a lot
(05:30):
of those misassignments led to turnovers or touchdowns. That's a
completely different game.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Jaguars Happy Our Monday airs four to six pm on
tenjen XLAM and Jaguars dot Com. Now to the Huddle
Up Podcast from Wednesday afternoon. Bucky Brooks, John Oser and
I going through some of the communication issues for the Jags.
Let's hear from the head coach today, Doug Peterson discussing
some of the communication issues. Really both sides of the
(05:56):
ball had a little of that. Doug Peterson though on
the focus, especially on defense.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
You know, those things just just can't they can't happen, obviously,
and it really just does does come down to those
guys just talking right and just having conversation on the
field and just staying locked into the game plan right
and just one play at a time mentality, and they
(06:23):
don't have to do anything other than that. Just just
trust that, you know, and trust their instincts and how
they've been coached this week to execute that game plan
and they'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
That's the head coach earlier today.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
John, I have a question for the ex player all right,
because I you know, this has been an interesting day
to me because both Trevor and Doug talked so much
about communication players in the locker room communication. Doug was
talking about focus and he was choosing his words very carefully,
trying to get it across what he meant by it.
So I've never played at a high level Guess what,
(06:56):
I've never played football at high level JP. So you
know how tough is it, Bucky? And you know it
really did seem the other day like communication, glaring mental
breakdowns really cost him that game. You would think that's
past them, but I guess as a head coach, that's
what you're always pushing on, right.
Speaker 7 (07:18):
You are always pushing on it, And I'm gonna lean
on you and your experiences with the Indianapolis Coast Sonny
Tony Dungee, like I think you share stories with me,
like after losses or after difficult games. He always thought
that you needed to reduce, eliminate, simplify, make it where
the players can play fast, where they can think freely,
and then you'll get the best performance out of them.
(07:40):
I think we're kind of at that point with the Jaguars, Ultimately,
what coaches like to do is they like to at
the beginning of the season think, hey, these are all
the things that we're going to be able to do.
This group is so good to dynamic. We got this,
so we're gonna do X, Y and Z. But the
great coaches are able to look at their team and
evaluate where they are and say, hey, guys, here's where
we are. This is the kind of team that we have.
(08:02):
This is what we need to do to maximize the
talents of the team. When I look at this team,
and because it's been a theme, this team has a
lot of issues when it comes to the communication and
being able to take like communication and maybe schemes.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
And execute it.
Speaker 7 (08:17):
So now that you're in the final stretch, right the
final quarter of the season, if that's been a parent
in multiple films, well, now you've got to reduce the
amount of stuff that you're doing. You have to put
the onus on the players to communicate what you're supposed
to do, make sure you know what you're doing, and
then do it. And I think we're at that point
because of the tone that I hear from Doug in
his voice, he's not going to say that outwardly to
(08:40):
the public. But I feel like the frustration has beached
the point where he's like, hey man, here's what we're doing.
We need to eliminate all the fluff. Let's just line
up and play and see if we can win a
game by simply not beating ourselves.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Yeah, that's you know again, we know why it's his show.
That's a good Uh. It makes a lot of sense.
And to simplify it, because really he plays the other
day cost you and it was three defensive breakdowns that
you know, again on papers shouldn't have been hard. They
just got themselves completely out of position where if they'd
even been closer and give themselves a chance to play
(09:15):
another down if you will. JFF said multiple times this week.
The Browns are really good, and they're eight and five
for a reason, you're playing on the road. But the
Jaguars turned it over four times and gifted them three touchdowns.
They're good, but you can't make it that easy on it, buck.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
Now, you can't make it that easy on it. And
as much as like everyone would make the focus on
the defense, because the defensive communication flaws, it's easy to
see this show a someone didn't cover David Njoku. He
runs down the scene. We have a fourth down, we
don't get a switch or who's lined up on who,
and so it's an easy completion for Joe Flakwa ends
up being a touchdown and some other things. But I
(09:58):
would tell you offensively been a bunch of miscommunications. I
can't tell you the amount of times that we.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Have broken the huddle.
Speaker 7 (10:06):
We look around and we see Trevor Lawrence trying to
tell one of the receivers to get lined up in
a different spot, or two receivers looking at one another,
trying to figure out who's responsible for what route am
I running and all of those things, and it coincides
with a couple of those communication errors resulting in interceptions
because Trevor and the playmaker the pass catcher is not
(10:27):
on the same page. So when Doug talks about the
entire team communicating, that's what it stems from, because there
just been things that should be very, very simple when
it comes to execution, but they're not getting done because
people don't know what they expected to know, and then
they're trying to communicate it at the last minute and
it's not getting done.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
It's not getting relayed to all of the people that
need to know the information. And there were a couple
of instances where they maybe got the play in late too.
They had a couple of delay games a clock second,
you're trying to communicate all of a sudden, you either
got a call time out or you get the flag,
and that adds on to it.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Yeah, eight pre snap penalties in the last four game,
I mean in the last two games. And maybe they're
not all attributed to what we're talking about, but it
seems it seems like a symptom.
Speaker 1 (11:14):

(12:46):
morning on Jags Am with Ky Stevens, Brian Sexton, and
John Oser.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
Else from the locker room, Calvin Ridley kind of weigh in.
We've been talking about the issues with the route running
and Trevor was talking about miscommunication as well. And Ridley
kind of broke down what he saw on that play.
On one of the interceptions.
Speaker 10 (13:03):
On that type of play, it's a the ball can
go to me, can go to someone else, and it's
a look. You know, I thought I had a certain look,
and I was trying to, you know, get my feet on,
get my get up on the dB and take him
a certain way so we could get another person to
pop open. But it was a different look, and I
didn't get my head around faster, and the ball came
(13:23):
out a.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Little faster than I thought.
Speaker 10 (13:25):
But if I woulda I just need to be locked
in in that moment more and just see the the
look better and get my head around faster, and it'd been.
Speaker 9 (13:32):
A different type of play according Towardly running the right route,
not the look he thought, miss be misidentified, what the
defense was doing, thought it was going somewhere else. Happens.
If that's something they need to get on the same
page about obviously, to kind of just always be prepared.
Especially I'm sure it's being emphasized this week without Christian
Gkirk out there, because there's not always that guy that's
(13:53):
gonna be the first option. Maybe a lot of the
time you have to be ready at all times.
Speaker 11 (13:57):
Well, and another radio conversation I had your sayis with
why Receivers coach chat Hall, and he talked about about
he used the word cohesion. He talked about that unspoken
communication between a quarterback and a wide receiver. And then
I was standing in the locker room yesterday and noticing
that Trevor's locker is here and Calvin's locker is here.
I mean, they have got to since the start of
(14:17):
the season. There's no accident that these two guys are
across from each other. They've been trying to build that
sense of unspoken timing. How long did it take Peyton
Manning and Marvin Harrison to create that? How long did
it take when Reggie Wayne came in to be able
to be that target that Peyton Manning was looking at.
I'm not trying to excuse the mistakes he made. I'm
saying this is part of the process of two guys
(14:42):
coming together.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Yeah, And it's rarely, especially with route running offense in
the NFL these days, it's rarely one thing this guy
did this poorly. It's usually over the course of the game.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
More.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
You a lot of read routes. You got a lot
of routes that playoff of Okay, that even is doing
this now, the quarterback sees this, the wider series sees this.
I keep going back to, you know, yes, the communication
has been a bit clunky with Calvin at times with Trevor,
but everything was sort of going in a good direction
(15:14):
offensively until Trevor didn't practice last week. So I do
think that's sort of become a forgotten element of there
was really no reps at all with these guys, and
up until he got hurt against Cincinnati the last couple
of games, I felt it was going smooth even without Christian.
Then all of a sudden, guess what, he doesn't practice
(15:35):
and it looks clunky.
Speaker 11 (15:36):
Well that's how it goes.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
You know, that makes sense to me. I think it'll
be better this week. There's still gonna be some of
that because frankly, Calvin was out two years and this
is still a young offense trying to get these things,
and you're gonna have this in the NFL sometimes.
Speaker 9 (15:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (15:51):
And you know the other thing Chad Hall said when
we had our conversation after practice today was that the coach,
the head coach had personally challenged all of the coaches
to make fixes right, to look differently at it, And
in fact, Doug said it in his news conference on
both Monday and Wednesday, and that was the first thing
that Chad went to. So it's not just the players
who are trying to communicate, it's the coaches who are
(16:13):
working it as well. They're attacking this problem right, this
issue from last week at every angle.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
And Calvin said something that I thought was interesting yesterday too.
It was sort of after one of the questions, he goes,
I just kind of wish the guy had dropped the ball.
He had another chance, And there is an element of that.
We're focused on that one play because the Browns got
an interception off of it. Every team in the league
has miscommunications at times between receivers and quarterbacks. That one
(16:40):
really bit the Jags. So we're talking about it a lot,
and there was some It showed up big time on Sunday.
It really hurt them. It doesn't always hurt you that much.
A lot of teams weren't hurt by it. So I
think this is this week's topic. I don't know that
miscommunication with receivers has been a season long thing that's
defined it, but they got to get it fixed now.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Jags a Monday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings on Jaguars dot
Com and Jaguars YouTube Now. To cap off the week,
the Doug Peterson Show, where the head coach explained some
ways the team was working through some of the miscommunication
that's popped up.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
You know, my wife tells me all the time that
I need to be a better communicator, right with her,
and and rightfully so, because if we don't communicate, we're
not on the same page. And so it's the same
thing with a football team. And and you know, the
last couple of weeks, we've missed some opportunities both sides
of the ball, really all three phases, just just by
not opening our mouth. And and we just you know,
(17:36):
we ask our to We ask our guys all the time,
We challenge our guys all the time that you have
to talk, you have to communicate calls, you gotta you know,
you got to verbalize it because if you don't, big
plays are gonna happen for your opponent. And that's what
happened last week up in Cleveland.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Yeah, I think sometimes when you kind of get to
this point in the season, guys can take things for
granted that okay, well he is already gonna know.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
And sometimes just that eye contact and it doesn't necessarily
have to be that verbal communication. The eye contact sometimes
solves a lot of that.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
It does, and I think that comes with teams that
have been together for six, seven, eight years and players
that have been together for such a long time and
they've played in the same scheme together and they can
do that. They can get away with just hey, just
a little verbal you know, heads up not or something
like that, or just make eye contact and they they're
on the same page. But you know, when when you're
only in your second year and you know you're asking
(18:29):
our guys to do that, we need to emphasize it.
When I say we as the coaching staff, we need
to we need to demand it from our players obviously
and get it out of them and making sure that
they're they're talking to one another on the field.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
So start with your your offense against this Ravens defense,
number two defense in the National Football League and yards
allowed number two and points allowed. You went from the
number one defense in the league in Cleveland here to
Baltimore number two. What a challenge.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
It's a great challenge. And we're excited for the opportunity
number one. You know, it seems like Baltimore and their
history have always had great defenses, right and and they
pride themselves on that. And you know, and I look
back at the Cleveland game and and we did some
really good things in that game. We took it, took
advantage of some opportunities, we missed some opportunities, uh to
score more points, and and and really felt like we
(19:14):
had a chance to win that football game. And and uh,
you know, the turnovers obviously are things that have kind
of plagued us and kept us back a little bit
this season. And and going into this game, you know,
you're playing probably a much better offense number one, and
and you really can't give this team anything, any opportunities,
any extra possession, So you know, works cut out for us.
(19:34):
It's a good defensive front, good front, six seven guys
up there, and they and their secondary, they got some
smart guys that have been around a long time. Even
their defensive coordinator, you know, has been kind of grown
up in the Baltimore organization. I know he left a
year to go to Michigan, but he's back and and uh,
you know, coordinating the defense, So he's seen a lot
of football there as well. And and it's no, there's
(19:55):
no surprise why they're why they're top, you know, one
of the top defenses in the league.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Yeah, quite a minit this week head coach Dug Peterson
with us to the Jaguars offense now and let's get
into this running game for the Jaguars team here and
trying to get Yes, the yard is just there for
Travis et In for the season, but the yards per
rush is down the list a little bit. How do
you improve that down the stretch?
Speaker 6 (20:19):
Yeah, it's it's it's it's interesting because I think we're
tenth in the league in attempts, but we're thirty first
or something. As you mentioned in yards per carry. Those
two should align a little bit more, right, If you're
gonna run the ball as much as we have, you
should have better results, right. And so you know, it's
something that we look at as a staff and we've
got to make sure we're putting our best concepts together.
(20:43):
We're repeating the best concepts, right. So there's familiarity with
our offensive line. I know we've had some injury up
front and there hasn't been a lot of consistency, you know,
particularly on the left side, and guys have been in
and out of the lineup and Ezra's new, you know,
and getting him caught up. But for me, it's it's
just a matter of let's make sure we're putting our guys,
you know, in the right positions and helping them be
(21:03):
successful on the football field. And then it's just a mindset.
Running the ball sometimes is not pretty. It's more of
the physical aspect of it. The backs have got to
hit the right holes and things of that nature. But
again it's it's coaches and players working together and really
demanding sort of that physicality that you know. Quite frankly,
these last couple of defenses have given us fits on.

We'll catch you next week on the Jaguars Broadcast Week
Interview podcast presented by Everbang
This is the Jaguars Broadcast Weekend review podcasts presented by EverBank.
I'm JV. Shadwick with the best of the week from
Jags Radio, Jaguars dot Com, and Jaguars YouTube. The Jaguars
hosts the Baltimore Ravens in week fifteen on Sunday Night Football.
But first the word of the week communication. It started
with a review of the week fourteen lost to the
(00:25):
Cleveland Browns with Pete Prisco, Tony Biselli, and Jeff Logoman
on Jaguars Happy Hour Radio Monday, recorded live at Mister
Chubby's Wings in Panavidra Beach.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Well, let's be real. You got to give the quarterback
credit for playing, but he was not very good at moments.
But I think there were other issues at play, including
you know, wide receiver running the wrong route, which Calvin
Ridley clearly did. It was miscommunication there. I think that,
you know, defensively, they can't get to the quarterback. I mean,
(00:56):
if Josh Allen doesn't get there, nobody's getting there. Then
that's two weeks in a row. You made Jake Browning
and Joe Flacco two backups, one almost years old, shred
you throwing the football there were way too many busts
and I tried to go through and you guys might
be able to watch the tape on the way home
today from Kansas City. The busts in the secondary, I
(01:18):
attribute number one to Rayshawn Jenkins, number two to a Luacan,
and number three I was trying to get an idea
who that was. It was either Darius Williams or Rashon Jenkins.
I couldn't quite figure that one out. But my gosh,
you talk about guys running wide open. That can't happen,
and so you combine it all together and it was
(01:40):
not a very good day for the Jacksonville Jaguars in Cleveland.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
So I'll let Jeff be because we talked about those
busts on defense, and I agree with you. The worst
part of that game for me is really you beat
yourself at the end of the day. Now, there's certain
things that give Cleveland credit. They are more fizzle at
the line of scrimmagon we were. They did, you know,
some good things, but you take away three bus on defense,
(02:07):
that's a completely different game. And all that, Jeff, because
we talked about who's who we think, I mean, we're
making some assumptions based on what we know about the
defense and how they play, so all that, Jeff kind
of go through each of those and kind of what
he saw on tape.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
All right, So the first one Pete, which was a
third and one, and essentially the Browns are in a
goal line personnel grouping. The Jaguars match with a goal
line defensive grouping, and they're bringing pressure off the outside edges.
And when you do that, a lot of times you
ask a defensive end or a linebacker to play man
(02:42):
on a tight end. And it looked like from watching
it that Trayvon was in man coverage on Nadjoku and in.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Order to do that.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
A lot of people say, well, how can you ask
a guy like Trayvon to do that? Well, you beat
him up at the line of scrimmage to where he
can't release, and you expect him to be able to
run with the Joku because Joku was not a guy
that has blazing speed. I think it was on Trayvon
with that one. The second one to Najoku, I think
it was Foyer got too aggressive on a run read
(03:13):
and then got caught and then he couldn't end up
backing out and covering ground and Devin Lloyd never even moved.
He didn't buy the run fake. He was pointing in
the direction of where the tight end was going, and
Foyer was just so fast going downhill. And now the
last one, which was the completion to the bell guy.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Yet Bell Bell.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
Okay, when when they started out the wide receiver, one
of the wide receivers was out wide, and you're you're
in man coverage, and when the motion comes in, you're
essentially playing an in and out, so you're playing man,
but you're saying, Okay, if one guy goes in, I
got him, another guy stays at the outside, I got him.
A little confusion there between Darius and ray Sewan because
(03:56):
they both went to cover the same guy. And then
when Darius realized that they both were going to the
same guy and that he, in my opinion, he was
supposed to be on the outside guy and he realized
that he plants his foot, slips, goes down to the ground,
and by then it's too late, so that one is
just miss miscommunication.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
But the bottom line, right, Jack, you can play that
two different ways. You either go in and out or
you just play it straight and and let the in
guy go to Jenkins and and he stays with the
outside guy. I mean that you could do that too, But.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
You can and say okay, we're staying. Yeah, it's you know,
you can play cat coverage with just say I got
that cat. It doesn't matter what they do, right, Okay,
But then you can also play okay, I got the
guy that goes in, you got the guy that goes.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Out Banjo, right and.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah, but Pete to your point though, I mean, you
look at this game and I've said I said it
since the game yesterday. The Jaguars beat themselves with misdessignments,
blown coverages, which is miss assignments, turnovers, and stupid penalties.
It wasn't like they were you know, the big fear
(05:04):
going the game is is Miles Garrett in the you know,
just gonna take over the game?
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Block him?
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Can they block them? It's gonna be just a complete
mess because of the injuries offensive line, well, for the
most part, it was not, and they Trevor had time
to operate. Now, they still can't run the ball, and
we talked about that already. I mean it's like they
can't run between the tackles. They physically can't do it.
But as far as overall, if you don't have the
missed assignments, and you know, including blown coverages, a lot
(05:30):
of those misassignments led to turnovers or touchdowns. That's a
completely different game.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Jaguars Happy Our Monday airs four to six pm on
tenjen XLAM and Jaguars dot Com. Now to the Huddle
Up Podcast from Wednesday afternoon. Bucky Brooks, John Oser and
I going through some of the communication issues for the Jags.
Let's hear from the head coach today, Doug Peterson discussing
some of the communication issues. Really both sides of the
(05:56):
ball had a little of that. Doug Peterson though on
the focus, especially on defense.
Speaker 6 (06:01):
You know, those things just just can't they can't happen, obviously,
and it really just does does come down to those
guys just talking right and just having conversation on the
field and just staying locked into the game plan right
and just one play at a time mentality, and they
(06:23):
don't have to do anything other than that. Just just
trust that, you know, and trust their instincts and how
they've been coached this week to execute that game plan
and they'll be fine.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
That's the head coach earlier today.
Speaker 5 (06:35):
John, I have a question for the ex player all right,
because I you know, this has been an interesting day
to me because both Trevor and Doug talked so much
about communication players in the locker room communication. Doug was
talking about focus and he was choosing his words very carefully,
trying to get it across what he meant by it.
So I've never played at a high level Guess what,
(06:56):
I've never played football at high level JP. So you
know how tough is it, Bucky? And you know it
really did seem the other day like communication, glaring mental
breakdowns really cost him that game. You would think that's
past them, but I guess as a head coach, that's
what you're always pushing on, right.
Speaker 7 (07:18):
You are always pushing on it, And I'm gonna lean
on you and your experiences with the Indianapolis Coast Sonny
Tony Dungee, like I think you share stories with me,
like after losses or after difficult games. He always thought
that you needed to reduce, eliminate, simplify, make it where
the players can play fast, where they can think freely,
and then you'll get the best performance out of them.
(07:40):
I think we're kind of at that point with the Jaguars, Ultimately,
what coaches like to do is they like to at
the beginning of the season think, hey, these are all
the things that we're going to be able to do.
This group is so good to dynamic. We got this,
so we're gonna do X, Y and Z. But the
great coaches are able to look at their team and
evaluate where they are and say, hey, guys, here's where
we are. This is the kind of team that we have.
(08:02):
This is what we need to do to maximize the
talents of the team. When I look at this team,
and because it's been a theme, this team has a
lot of issues when it comes to the communication and
being able to take like communication and maybe schemes.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
And execute it.
Speaker 7 (08:17):
So now that you're in the final stretch, right the
final quarter of the season, if that's been a parent
in multiple films, well, now you've got to reduce the
amount of stuff that you're doing. You have to put
the onus on the players to communicate what you're supposed
to do, make sure you know what you're doing, and
then do it. And I think we're at that point
because of the tone that I hear from Doug in
his voice, he's not going to say that outwardly to
(08:40):
the public. But I feel like the frustration has beached
the point where he's like, hey man, here's what we're doing.
We need to eliminate all the fluff. Let's just line
up and play and see if we can win a
game by simply not beating ourselves.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Yeah, that's you know again, we know why it's his show.
That's a good Uh. It makes a lot of sense.
And to simplify it, because really he plays the other
day cost you and it was three defensive breakdowns that
you know, again on papers shouldn't have been hard. They
just got themselves completely out of position where if they'd
even been closer and give themselves a chance to play
(09:15):
another down if you will. JFF said multiple times this week.
The Browns are really good, and they're eight and five
for a reason, you're playing on the road. But the
Jaguars turned it over four times and gifted them three touchdowns.
They're good, but you can't make it that easy on it, buck.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
Now, you can't make it that easy on it. And
as much as like everyone would make the focus on
the defense, because the defensive communication flaws, it's easy to
see this show a someone didn't cover David Njoku. He
runs down the scene. We have a fourth down, we
don't get a switch or who's lined up on who,
and so it's an easy completion for Joe Flakwa ends
up being a touchdown and some other things. But I
(09:58):
would tell you offensively been a bunch of miscommunications. I
can't tell you the amount of times that we.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Have broken the huddle.
Speaker 7 (10:06):
We look around and we see Trevor Lawrence trying to
tell one of the receivers to get lined up in
a different spot, or two receivers looking at one another,
trying to figure out who's responsible for what route am
I running and all of those things, and it coincides
with a couple of those communication errors resulting in interceptions
because Trevor and the playmaker the pass catcher is not
(10:27):
on the same page. So when Doug talks about the
entire team communicating, that's what it stems from, because there
just been things that should be very, very simple when
it comes to execution, but they're not getting done because
people don't know what they expected to know, and then
they're trying to communicate it at the last minute and
it's not getting done.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
It's not getting relayed to all of the people that
need to know the information. And there were a couple
of instances where they maybe got the play in late too.
They had a couple of delay games a clock second,
you're trying to communicate all of a sudden, you either
got a call time out or you get the flag,
and that adds on to it.
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Yeah, eight pre snap penalties in the last four game,
I mean in the last two games. And maybe they're
not all attributed to what we're talking about, but it
seems it seems like a symptom.
Speaker 1 (11:14):

(12:46):
morning on Jags Am with Ky Stevens, Brian Sexton, and
John Oser.
Speaker 9 (12:50):
Else from the locker room, Calvin Ridley kind of weigh in.
We've been talking about the issues with the route running
and Trevor was talking about miscommunication as well. And Ridley
kind of broke down what he saw on that play.
On one of the interceptions.
Speaker 10 (13:03):
On that type of play, it's a the ball can
go to me, can go to someone else, and it's
a look. You know, I thought I had a certain look,
and I was trying to, you know, get my feet on,
get my get up on the dB and take him
a certain way so we could get another person to
pop open. But it was a different look, and I
didn't get my head around faster, and the ball came
(13:23):
out a.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Little faster than I thought.
Speaker 10 (13:25):
But if I woulda I just need to be locked
in in that moment more and just see the the
look better and get my head around faster, and it'd been.
Speaker 9 (13:32):
A different type of play according Towardly running the right route,
not the look he thought, miss be misidentified, what the
defense was doing, thought it was going somewhere else. Happens.
If that's something they need to get on the same
page about obviously, to kind of just always be prepared.
Especially I'm sure it's being emphasized this week without Christian
Gkirk out there, because there's not always that guy that's
(13:53):
gonna be the first option. Maybe a lot of the
time you have to be ready at all times.
Speaker 11 (13:57):
Well, and another radio conversation I had your sayis with
why Receivers coach chat Hall, and he talked about about
he used the word cohesion. He talked about that unspoken
communication between a quarterback and a wide receiver. And then
I was standing in the locker room yesterday and noticing
that Trevor's locker is here and Calvin's locker is here.
I mean, they have got to since the start of
(14:17):
the season. There's no accident that these two guys are
across from each other. They've been trying to build that
sense of unspoken timing. How long did it take Peyton
Manning and Marvin Harrison to create that? How long did
it take when Reggie Wayne came in to be able
to be that target that Peyton Manning was looking at.
I'm not trying to excuse the mistakes he made. I'm
saying this is part of the process of two guys
(14:42):
coming together.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
Yeah, And it's rarely, especially with route running offense in
the NFL these days, it's rarely one thing this guy
did this poorly. It's usually over the course of the game.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
More.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
You a lot of read routes. You got a lot
of routes that playoff of Okay, that even is doing
this now, the quarterback sees this, the wider series sees this.
I keep going back to, you know, yes, the communication
has been a bit clunky with Calvin at times with Trevor,
but everything was sort of going in a good direction
(15:14):
offensively until Trevor didn't practice last week. So I do
think that's sort of become a forgotten element of there
was really no reps at all with these guys, and
up until he got hurt against Cincinnati the last couple
of games, I felt it was going smooth even without Christian.
Then all of a sudden, guess what, he doesn't practice
(15:35):
and it looks clunky.
Speaker 11 (15:36):
Well that's how it goes.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
You know, that makes sense to me. I think it'll
be better this week. There's still gonna be some of
that because frankly, Calvin was out two years and this
is still a young offense trying to get these things,
and you're gonna have this in the NFL sometimes.
Speaker 9 (15:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 11 (15:51):
And you know the other thing Chad Hall said when
we had our conversation after practice today was that the coach,
the head coach had personally challenged all of the coaches
to make fixes right, to look differently at it, And
in fact, Doug said it in his news conference on
both Monday and Wednesday, and that was the first thing
that Chad went to. So it's not just the players
who are trying to communicate, it's the coaches who are
(16:13):
working it as well. They're attacking this problem right, this
issue from last week at every angle.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
And Calvin said something that I thought was interesting yesterday too.
It was sort of after one of the questions, he goes,
I just kind of wish the guy had dropped the ball.
He had another chance, And there is an element of that.
We're focused on that one play because the Browns got
an interception off of it. Every team in the league
has miscommunications at times between receivers and quarterbacks. That one
(16:40):
really bit the Jags. So we're talking about it a lot,
and there was some It showed up big time on Sunday.
It really hurt them. It doesn't always hurt you that much.
A lot of teams weren't hurt by it. So I
think this is this week's topic. I don't know that
miscommunication with receivers has been a season long thing that's
defined it, but they got to get it fixed now.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Jags a Monday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings on Jaguars dot
Com and Jaguars YouTube Now. To cap off the week,
the Doug Peterson Show, where the head coach explained some
ways the team was working through some of the miscommunication
that's popped up.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
You know, my wife tells me all the time that
I need to be a better communicator, right with her,
and and rightfully so, because if we don't communicate, we're
not on the same page. And so it's the same
thing with a football team. And and you know, the
last couple of weeks, we've missed some opportunities both sides
of the ball, really all three phases, just just by
not opening our mouth. And and we just you know,
(17:36):
we ask our to We ask our guys all the time,
We challenge our guys all the time that you have
to talk, you have to communicate calls, you gotta you know,
you got to verbalize it because if you don't, big
plays are gonna happen for your opponent. And that's what
happened last week up in Cleveland.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Yeah, I think sometimes when you kind of get to
this point in the season, guys can take things for
granted that okay, well he is already gonna know.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
And sometimes just that eye contact and it doesn't necessarily
have to be that verbal communication. The eye contact sometimes
solves a lot of that.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
It does, and I think that comes with teams that
have been together for six, seven, eight years and players
that have been together for such a long time and
they've played in the same scheme together and they can
do that. They can get away with just hey, just
a little verbal you know, heads up not or something
like that, or just make eye contact and they they're
on the same page. But you know, when when you're
only in your second year and you know you're asking
(18:29):
our guys to do that, we need to emphasize it.
When I say we as the coaching staff, we need
to we need to demand it from our players obviously
and get it out of them and making sure that
they're they're talking to one another on the field.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
So start with your your offense against this Ravens defense,
number two defense in the National Football League and yards
allowed number two and points allowed. You went from the
number one defense in the league in Cleveland here to
Baltimore number two. What a challenge.
Speaker 6 (18:53):
It's a great challenge. And we're excited for the opportunity
number one. You know, it seems like Baltimore and their
history have always had great defenses, right and and they
pride themselves on that. And you know, and I look
back at the Cleveland game and and we did some
really good things in that game. We took it, took
advantage of some opportunities, we missed some opportunities, uh to
score more points, and and and really felt like we
(19:14):
had a chance to win that football game. And and uh,
you know, the turnovers obviously are things that have kind
of plagued us and kept us back a little bit
this season. And and going into this game, you know,
you're playing probably a much better offense number one, and
and you really can't give this team anything, any opportunities,
any extra possession, So you know, works cut out for us.
(19:34):
It's a good defensive front, good front, six seven guys
up there, and they and their secondary, they got some
smart guys that have been around a long time. Even
their defensive coordinator, you know, has been kind of grown
up in the Baltimore organization. I know he left a
year to go to Michigan, but he's back and and uh,
you know, coordinating the defense, So he's seen a lot
of football there as well. And and it's no, there's
(19:55):
no surprise why they're why they're top, you know, one
of the top defenses in the league.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Yeah, quite a minit this week head coach Dug Peterson
with us to the Jaguars offense now and let's get
into this running game for the Jaguars team here and
trying to get Yes, the yard is just there for
Travis et In for the season, but the yards per
rush is down the list a little bit. How do
you improve that down the stretch?
Speaker 6 (20:19):
Yeah, it's it's it's it's interesting because I think we're
tenth in the league in attempts, but we're thirty first
or something. As you mentioned in yards per carry. Those
two should align a little bit more, right, If you're
gonna run the ball as much as we have, you
should have better results, right. And so you know, it's
something that we look at as a staff and we've
got to make sure we're putting our best concepts together.
(20:43):
We're repeating the best concepts, right. So there's familiarity with
our offensive line. I know we've had some injury up
front and there hasn't been a lot of consistency, you know,
particularly on the left side, and guys have been in
and out of the lineup and Ezra's new, you know,
and getting him caught up. But for me, it's it's
just a matter of let's make sure we're putting our guys,
you know, in the right positions and helping them be
(21:03):
successful on the football field. And then it's just a mindset.
Running the ball sometimes is not pretty. It's more of
the physical aspect of it. The backs have got to
hit the right holes and things of that nature. But
again it's it's coaches and players working together and really
demanding sort of that physicality that you know. Quite frankly,
these last couple of defenses have given us fits on.
