0:44
Speaker 4: thirteen loss. Will a little bit later look ahead, of
0:47
Speaker 4: course to Monday Night football the Jaguars and the Bills
0:50
Speaker 4: in Week three. But priority number one getting back and
0:56
Speaker 4: getting on track after another loss and oh and two
0:59
Speaker 4: start did the game Sunday.
1:01
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence setting the tone.
1:05
Speaker 3: I mean, we suck right now, so I don't.
1:08
Speaker 5: Pretty shocked, you know, obviously this isn't We had a
1:10
Speaker 5: great off season, great training camp, and we gotta figure
1:13
Speaker 5: it out. So we know we we we got a
1:16
Speaker 5: good group, we got good players, and we can be
1:18
Speaker 5: a good, really good offense. But clearly we're not. So
1:22
Speaker 5: everybody's gotta take accountability. Oh accountability, look in the mirror
1:26
Speaker 5: and fix it. You know, I gotta play better, and
1:28
Speaker 5: the leader of this offense, it's on me, you know.
1:32
Speaker 5: The white EU's gotta play better. The lines gotta play better,
1:34
Speaker 5: running baskt play better. We've got to coach better. I mean,
1:36
Speaker 5: it's everybody, honestly, but you know we're standing around. We
1:41
Speaker 5: gotta take we gotta take charts. We're standing around waiting
1:44
Speaker 5: on somebody to make a play. Defense is playing their
1:45
Speaker 5: ass off. Last two weeks, if if the team doesn't
1:48
Speaker 5: score more than twenty points in US we should win
1:50
Speaker 5: every week.
1:51
Speaker 3: We can't finish in the red zone today.
1:53
Speaker 5: Too many mistakes get out of the in and out
1:55
Speaker 5: the huddle communication wasn't good. I mean, it's just it's
1:57
Speaker 5: a lot of things, and you know, fortunately and unfortunately
2:01
Speaker 5: it's what pisses you off after the game. A lot
2:03
Speaker 5: of it we control, but you know we control it,
2:06
Speaker 5: but we're not doing it right. So until we do it, right,
2:08
Speaker 5: it's a it's a different story.
2:09
Speaker 2: So that's the quarterback, of course.
2:11
Speaker 4: Bucky Brooks with us now from Los Angeles, saying, that's
2:14
Speaker 4: about as raw as you'll hear the quarterback, or at
2:17
Speaker 4: least as wrong as we've heard him throughout his career
2:19
Speaker 4: after a ballgame.
2:20
Speaker 2: Bucky, good, afternoon, How are you.
2:23
Speaker 3: I'm good, guys, I am good.
2:25
Speaker 6: I am looking forward to kind of moving past the
2:28
Speaker 6: last game and kind of putting our eyes on the
2:30
Speaker 6: next game. But I think it's really important to acknowledge
2:33
Speaker 6: what Trevor Lawrence has been saying. What he said in
2:35
Speaker 6: the postgame and the presser matches up with what I
2:39
Speaker 6: saw from him doing the game. It's the most animated
2:42
Speaker 6: that I've seen Trevor. It's the most irritated that I've
2:44
Speaker 6: seen Trevor in terms of being annoyed by the miscommunications,
2:48
Speaker 6: the eras the just the mistakes that the unit is making.
2:54
Speaker 6: So it's good to kind of see him talk about that.
2:57
Speaker 6: It's also good to see him kind of evolve as
3:00
Speaker 6: a leader where he's holding people accountable. As Trevor grows
3:03
Speaker 6: into being the franchise quarterback, the quarterback has more say
3:07
Speaker 6: and who plays and who doesn't, and if guys aren't
3:10
Speaker 6: getting it done when it comes to performance or understanding
3:15
Speaker 6: what to do from a preparation standpoint, he's going to
3:18
Speaker 6: start moving those people off the field. And I think
3:21
Speaker 6: that's a good thing, not a bad thing.
3:22
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't want to do this because if we
3:26
Speaker 7: do this, I want to have a job. But you could
3:29
Speaker 7: just play that clip for forty minutes on this show
3:33
Speaker 7: and figure out what's going on if you out the
3:35
Speaker 7: theme of the week.
3:38
Speaker 8: Trevor was dead on the communication in out of the Huddle.
3:43
Speaker 7: I mean he laid it out as transparently as he could.
3:46
Speaker 7: That's why it was clunky. The communication was atrocious and
3:51
Speaker 7: he knew it. He's had it, and I agree with Bucket.
3:55
Speaker 7: I was sitting there in the press conference and thinking,
3:57
Speaker 7: this is the most encouraging thing to happen today, the
4:01
Speaker 7: fact that he has had it. I don't know if
4:04
Speaker 7: it will give you desired results in hers to win
4:06
Speaker 7: on Monday, but I think it's the only thing that
4:09
Speaker 7: will happen. Somebody's got to stand up and say this
4:12
Speaker 7: isn't good enough, Bucky. I actually had somebody write me
4:16
Speaker 7: and saying that, you know, Trevor was pointing fingers. He
4:20
Speaker 7: wasn't taking accountability. I saw it as the opposite. I
4:26
Speaker 7: thought it was a moment where he said, you know what,
4:29
Speaker 7: this is my team, this is my butt on the
4:33
Speaker 7: line out there.
4:34
Speaker 8: I'm the one.
4:35
Speaker 7: I'm the one people are pointing fingers at. It's time
4:38
Speaker 7: for me to stop being depressed after a loss, or
4:42
Speaker 7: depressed in the right word, but you know, taking blame
4:45
Speaker 7: for it and all that. I thought he was saying,
4:48
Speaker 7: enough's enough, man, we got to win some games, and
4:51
Speaker 7: if you're gonna be out here with me, everybody be
4:53
Speaker 7: all in.
4:56
Speaker 3: Yeah.
4:57
Speaker 6: I think that is so true, and it's one of
4:59
Speaker 6: the things that that I remarked it is really good
5:02
Speaker 6: to see Trevor kind of be forceful because I feel
5:05
Speaker 6: like for so long he's kind of been the guy
5:07
Speaker 6: that's tried to play nice in the sandbox. And anyone
5:11
Speaker 6: who's been around like franchise quarterbacks, know that those guys
5:14
Speaker 6: can be a little ornery. They have high standards and
5:16
Speaker 6: they expect everyone to meet those standards.
5:20
Speaker 3: And as he is.
5:21
Speaker 6: Being held more accountable as a franchise quarterback, some of
5:24
Speaker 6: that is due to the contract and how everyone is
5:27
Speaker 6: going to view him.
5:28
Speaker 3: It absolutely should be a snowball rolling downhill.
5:31
Speaker 6: He needs to hold everybody else accountable because how they
5:34
Speaker 6: perform impacts how he has to perform. So from the
5:37
Speaker 6: offensive line to the running backs to the wide receivers,
5:40
Speaker 6: everyone should be unnotice. If it's not up to number
5:44
Speaker 6: six team's liking, he should speak up about it, and
5:47
Speaker 6: he should hold those accountable, those guys accountable for meeting
5:50
Speaker 6: that standard, those lossy expectations that he asks for himself
5:53
Speaker 6: and what the unit should have for themselves.
5:56
Speaker 2: That's one side of the football.
5:57
Speaker 4: The defense couldn't get off the field in the first
6:00
Speaker 4: half last week, but stood up a little bit in
6:04
Speaker 4: the second half. And I mean, let's be honest, they
6:06
Speaker 4: gave up sixteen points in the game. After a week
6:09
Speaker 4: after giving up twenty to one of the most explosive
6:11
Speaker 4: offenses in football in Miami, they still haven't had a
6:14
Speaker 4: win to show for it. And you know, they still
6:19
Speaker 4: had the ball in their hands on the final drive
6:21
Speaker 4: the Jaguars did, with a chance to throw it in
6:23
Speaker 4: the end zone. Out of all of that that happened
6:25
Speaker 4: on Sunday, out of as ugly as it looked all
6:29
Speaker 4: game long, the Browns tried to give it back to
6:32
Speaker 4: them even and just fell a little bit short.
6:34
Speaker 2: John.
6:35
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean.
6:37
Speaker 7: The defense is theirs praise for keeping him in the game.
6:41
Speaker 7: I thought, realistically, if you're analyzing the defense, the Browns
6:46
Speaker 7: had the ball for twenty minutes in the first half,
6:48
Speaker 7: and I think if you had asked their coaching staff,
6:51
Speaker 7: if we can get thirteen points in the first half,
6:54
Speaker 7: run what was it? Twenty eight play? I mean it
6:58
Speaker 7: was a lot of plays too, double digit play and
7:00
Speaker 7: a play drive and lead by ten. I don't think
7:05
Speaker 7: the Jaguars defense believed they were good enough in the
7:08
Speaker 7: first half, but they sure were good enough in the
7:11
Speaker 7: second to keep them in it. So said, no matter
7:17
Speaker 7: how you break down, the defense, good enough to win
7:20
Speaker 7: and then buckets.
7:22
Speaker 8: It's the old thing.
7:23
Speaker 7: Just not big plays out of these guys at the
7:27
Speaker 7: big moments really on either side of the ball. But
7:30
Speaker 7: you know, I don't know if it's as much unit
7:33
Speaker 7: by unit as playmakers making plays.
7:36
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll say this, the unherded guys, the newbies, the backups,
7:43
Speaker 6: have played better than expectations.
7:45
Speaker 3: They see the expectations.
7:47
Speaker 6: I would say that the stars have disappointed when it
7:50
Speaker 6: comes to the production and performance of our best players
7:54
Speaker 6: and calling names out and calling numbers out, like look,
7:58
Speaker 6: let's look at the production of the So sixteen has
8:01
Speaker 6: talked about needing to play better, but he needs everybody else.
8:05
Speaker 6: Thirteen has underperformed with his number of receptions. Seventeen played
8:08
Speaker 6: the first game but didn't play the second game, and
8:11
Speaker 6: he hasn't necessarily delivered. Cam Robinson Anton Harrison haven't played
8:15
Speaker 6: well on the edges. On defense, We're still waiting for
8:17
Speaker 6: Josh Eines Allen to kind of dominate to the level
8:20
Speaker 6: that we expect. Treyvon Walker has flashed, but it hasn't
8:22
Speaker 6: been consistent. Cisco and Fouryier and Tyerson Camp like the
8:28
Speaker 6: best players have yet to play like blue chip players consistently.
8:32
Speaker 3: They've been flashes.
8:34
Speaker 6: But the team is going to go as those ten
8:36
Speaker 6: players go, and until those ten players begin to play
8:41
Speaker 6: at a blue chip level, the Jaguars will always have
8:44
Speaker 6: inconsistent performance.
8:45
Speaker 3: The backups and the role players have done their job.
8:48
Speaker 6: It's time for the stars to be stars if this
8:50
Speaker 6: team is going to accomplish what they want to accomplish.
8:52
Speaker 4: Jaguars offense Jaguars team thirty points scored through two games,
8:56
Speaker 4: the fewest through two games since twenty fourteen, when they
8:59
Speaker 4: had twenty seven points combined in the first two weeks,
9:02
Speaker 4: and the Jaguars defense one of two in the league
9:05
Speaker 4: without a takeaway yet through two weeks, the Browns being
9:09
Speaker 4: the other team without a takeaway so far, plenty to come.
9:12
Speaker 4: We're back in a moment. We'll take a look at
9:14
Speaker 4: the Jaguars defense matching up against Josh Allen, the Bills quarterback,
9:19
Speaker 4: and that running game in Buffalo has been going. Well,

9:46
Speaker 9: And I got all the faith in the linebackers and stuff.
9:48
Speaker 9: And now I came in this league not playing every snap.
9:50
Speaker 9: I've been blessed to be able to play every snap
9:52
Speaker 9: for my third year, all the way since my seventh year,
9:54
Speaker 9: or whatever the coach needs. But the goal here is
9:57
Speaker 9: to win games down the road. I'll want to win
9:58
Speaker 9: the games now. Obviously, don't look right when we're not
10:01
Speaker 9: winning games right now, So let's get to winning the
10:03
Speaker 9: games now and you'll see it payoff down the road.
10:06
Speaker 9: But let's focus on it now. Don't worry about the
10:08
Speaker 9: snapcous and stuff. Let's worry about wins. How the linebackers
10:12
Speaker 9: look at a unit. Everything's gonna work out if we
10:15
Speaker 9: execute our our plays that we're supposed to be well.

10:50
Speaker 4: John Osier. We're at the Hyundai Studios of the Miller
10:52
Speaker 4: Electric Center. Bucky Brooks in Los Angeles Foyer, Little King
10:56
Speaker 4: on the Field for eighty two percent of the snaps
10:58
Speaker 4: this week, similar percentage in Week one. Is this even
11:01
Speaker 4: a thing, Bucky? I know they're rotating guys in more,
11:05
Speaker 4: but as you heard him say, I mean for the
11:07
Speaker 4: last number of years, he's played nearly virtually every snap
11:11
Speaker 4: at linebacker.
11:13
Speaker 3: Yeah.
11:14
Speaker 6: No, I think it's a fine line between making sure
11:16
Speaker 6: that you're rotating people in to keep them fresh while
11:19
Speaker 6: also trying to develop the young players and running the
11:23
Speaker 6: risk of not having your best players on the field
11:25
Speaker 6: enough for your Luakan is attacking machine.
11:28
Speaker 3: It's been proven time and time again.
11:30
Speaker 6: He's always amongst the leaders and tackles, and what sometimes
11:33
Speaker 6: you're doing is taking.
11:34
Speaker 3: Them off to put other guys on the field.
11:36
Speaker 6: Are you weakening your defense at times by not having
11:39
Speaker 6: twenty three on the field. I think what he was
11:42
Speaker 6: doing is voicing his opinion. He would like to be
11:45
Speaker 6: on the field more. He feels like he can make
11:47
Speaker 6: a greater impact. I just talked in the first segment
11:50
Speaker 6: about the stars needing to be stars. I think they'll
11:53
Speaker 6: kind of find that happy medium, that middle ground where
11:56
Speaker 6: they're playing the young guys some, but they also making.
11:59
Speaker 3: Sure that the star on the field in those critical situations.
12:02
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's only it's a difference of probably seven or
12:07
Speaker 7: eight plays.
12:09
Speaker 8: Those can be huge plays. I'm kind of with Bucky.
12:12
Speaker 7: I think they'll find a balance and find a feel
12:15
Speaker 7: for when to have him in the game. He was
12:19
Speaker 7: like at ninety nine and ninety eight percent the last
12:22
Speaker 7: two seasons, which is essentially you're only not playing when
12:27
Speaker 7: the game's over with situational.
12:29
Speaker 2: So or that's the tire shoe or something weird that happens.
12:33
Speaker 7: I have right, I haven't had a sense that.
12:38
Speaker 8: They have been.
12:39
Speaker 7: Hurt like it's it's it's been particularly a topic defensive line.
12:46
Speaker 7: It hasn't felt any different to me than it should be,
12:49
Speaker 7: Meaning Trayvon and Josh are playing a little less, but
12:53
Speaker 7: I thought they needed to play a little less. Miles
12:57
Speaker 7: Garrett played what like sixty percent of the plays on Sunday.
13:00
Speaker 7: You don't really want those edge rushers playing eighty five
13:04
Speaker 7: percent of the plays because it takes a lot idea
13:06
Speaker 7: to rush a past like that. So I haven't really
13:09
Speaker 7: felt Bucky like they've been over rotating. It's felt okay
13:14
Speaker 7: to me. Linebackers a little unusual, but I think they
13:17
Speaker 7: got four good linebackers. I'm not sure there's a huge
13:21
Speaker 7: major drop off when you play these guys.
13:24
Speaker 6: Now, I'm with you on that, and I think the
13:27
Speaker 6: depth is going to come in handy down the line.
13:30
Speaker 6: I think the way that we've seen the young guys
13:32
Speaker 6: perform and the secondary is a testament to those guys
13:37
Speaker 6: getting plenty of playing time, the coaches having confidence to
13:40
Speaker 6: put them on the field, and the players responding in
13:42
Speaker 6: kind to the confidence that the coaches have shown them them.
13:45
Speaker 6: The thing that you want to do, though, is you
13:47
Speaker 6: want to make sure this is a player's game, and
13:49
Speaker 6: it's a players league, and players, your best players ultimately
13:52
Speaker 6: decide whether your team wins or loses. You want to
13:55
Speaker 6: make sure that your best players are on the field
13:58
Speaker 6: in those critical snaps.
13:59
Speaker 3: And so maybe it's more of.
14:01
Speaker 6: The first half where you have those guys rotating through,
14:04
Speaker 6: but then in the second half the rotation becomes a
14:06
Speaker 6: little tighter to make sure that you got the veterans
14:08
Speaker 6: and really the stars on the field when the game
14:12
Speaker 6: really comes down to hanging in the balance.
14:15
Speaker 4: Coming up this Monday, the Jaguars and the Buffalo Bills.
14:18
Speaker 4: This Jaguars defense will have a challenge, of course, against
14:22
Speaker 4: Josh Allen. The Bills have won seven consecutive regular season
14:26
Speaker 4: games and in those games, Allen was sixteen touchdown passes
14:30
Speaker 4: and five interceptions. Well, where is he in the grand
14:35
Speaker 4: scheme of elite quarterbacks in the NFL? And it, you know,
14:39
Speaker 4: it seems like he can do. You think he's number two. John, Okay,
14:44
Speaker 4: he can do a whole lot more and just throw
14:46
Speaker 4: it around.
14:46
Speaker 6: Bucky, he can't do a whole lot more than just
14:50
Speaker 6: throw it around. And what he has is the ability
14:52
Speaker 6: to do some of the superman stuff that you've seen
14:55
Speaker 6: this year. The Buffalo Bills have kind of done the
14:59
Speaker 6: Pat Mahomes thing, uh, in terms of they've kind of
15:02
Speaker 6: removed some of the older established weapons and surrounded with
15:05
Speaker 6: some young guys, some some cast offs and some myth
15:09
Speaker 6: fits misfits, and they've asked.
15:10
Speaker 3: Him to do more and he's responded in spectacular fashion.
15:14
Speaker 3: This is a guy that is a true dual threat playmaker.
15:17
Speaker 6: He's someone that you can concern yourself on the running
15:20
Speaker 6: game down near the red zone. He has big time
15:22
Speaker 6: arm talent where he can make all the throws and
15:25
Speaker 6: he kind of has some guts and courage about him
15:28
Speaker 6: that inspires his teammates. Really good player who I think
15:32
Speaker 6: would some would say has even exceeded what meaning he
15:34
Speaker 6: thought he would be when he came in to the
15:37
Speaker 6: league out of Wyoming as a bit of a gun
15:39
Speaker 6: sleader with an erratic kind of game that you couldn't
15:42
Speaker 6: predict how it was going to turn out.
15:44
Speaker 7: What do you think, Bucky I put him? I ouldly
15:47
Speaker 7: Mahomes is one A, one B one C.
15:50
Speaker 8: He he's the best. But I love Burrow.
15:54
Speaker 7: But as you said, Josh Allen now seems to be
16:00
Speaker 7: passing a test of can you lose guys around you
16:04
Speaker 7: and still maintain And there was all this talk all
16:06
Speaker 7: the seas while they're losing step On Diggs, they're gonna
16:08
Speaker 7: take a big step back. I don't think Buffalo was
16:12
Speaker 7: worried about that, but fans certainly were. I would still
16:18
Speaker 7: take Burrow starting a team. But this guy's right there,
16:22
Speaker 7: isn't he?
16:24
Speaker 3: Yeah?
16:24
Speaker 6: No, I think you can make the case, and I
16:26
Speaker 6: think this year is the year where he's able to
16:29
Speaker 6: kind of put some of that conversation to bed, you know,
16:32
Speaker 6: like the top five is one where the players and
16:35
Speaker 6: the pieces always rotate around Pat Mahomes.
16:38
Speaker 3: But now you certainly can make the case that Josh Allen.
16:40
Speaker 6: Is whatever it is, two three, four, He's in that
16:43
Speaker 6: conversation to be one of the best.
16:45
Speaker 3: He's an elite quarterback. He's an elite player.
16:47
Speaker 6: And the thing about it is he does it in
16:49
Speaker 6: a rugged fashion that really endears him to the fans
16:52
Speaker 6: in Western New York. It's gonna be a huge challenge
16:55
Speaker 6: for the jacksonmanth Jaguars to take on a guy who
16:58
Speaker 6: physically can overwhelm you with the size and strength, but
17:01
Speaker 6: also has the magic to make these.
17:03
Speaker 3: Throws that are special.
17:05
Speaker 6: I can't wait to see what Ryan Nilsen does to
17:07
Speaker 6: try and slow him down and how he elects to
17:10
Speaker 6: cover the wide receivers on the perimeter.
17:11
Speaker 4: Oh, he beat him last year in London. They beat
17:14
Speaker 4: him in twenty twenty one here at the Bank in
17:16
Speaker 4: a nine to six game. Remember that game. Yeah, Josh
17:19
Speaker 4: Allen went off that day on Josh Allen.
17:21
Speaker 7: I think there's something to that in the sense of
17:24
Speaker 7: teams when they've had success against a good team before.
17:29
Speaker 7: I don't think the Jaguars go into this game thinking, man,
17:32
Speaker 7: this team has our number. They played remarkably well last
17:35
Speaker 7: year in London, and that victory would have felt what
17:41
Speaker 7: trying to say that game would have felt wrong had
17:45
Speaker 7: the Bills won, Meaning other the Jaguars outplayed them, controlled
17:50
Speaker 7: the tempo last year in London. So I think the
17:53
Speaker 7: Jaggars match up Okay, it's gonna make plays, play right
17:59
Speaker 7: in that game, and they made big plays of big moments.
18:02
Speaker 7: And they haven't done that a lot since Week eleven
18:04
Speaker 7: last year.
18:06
Speaker 3: No, they haven't.
18:06
Speaker 6: They haven't made as many splash plays as you would
18:09
Speaker 6: like them to make. But I will say I think
18:11
Speaker 6: the matchup is pretty solid in terms of who they're covering.
18:14
Speaker 6: If you think about the last two weeks, the caliber
18:16
Speaker 6: receivers that they covered the Buffalo Bills are good. But
18:19
Speaker 6: it's different than dealing with Tyreek Hill and jenn And
18:21
Speaker 6: Waller and Maury Cooper and those guys.
18:24
Speaker 3: I think you have to be careful of Shakur.
18:27
Speaker 6: I think you have to be careful of the two
18:28
Speaker 6: tight ends because both guys Dawson Knox and.
18:31
Speaker 3: Dulkkin Kaid are dangerous.
18:33
Speaker 6: They have a young pass catcher in Kenyon Coleman who
18:35
Speaker 6: is great as a collegian, and he has size and
18:38
Speaker 6: leaping ability. But if you're the secondary, the secondary ship
18:42
Speaker 6: feel good about their ability to hold their own in
18:45
Speaker 6: these matchups and if they can do that, maybe advise
18:48
Speaker 6: enough time for the front to be able to get
18:50
Speaker 6: out to the quarterback, because look, you don't have to
18:52
Speaker 6: knock them around. You can't let them sit there and
18:54
Speaker 6: kind of just eat lunch while he's waiting to throw.
18:57
Speaker 3: You gotta find a way to make him move, and
18:59
Speaker 3: you have to that.
19:00
Speaker 6: Sometimes he's gun slinging ways works against him and he
19:03
Speaker 6: gives you a couple opportunities to turn the ball up.
19:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, he'll He'll give you a couple of opportunities. It
19:08
Speaker 4: feels like it certainly did that last year in London.
19:10
Speaker 4: Sixty giveaways by Josh Allen since twenty twenty one, tied
19:14
Speaker 4: for the most in the.
19:14
Speaker 2: League with Trevor Lawrence.
19:17
Speaker 4: Of course, we're back in a moment and we'll get
19:20
Speaker 4: into how the Jags offensive line matches up against this
19:24
Speaker 4: Bill's defensive front, a really good defensive line coming up
19:28

19:39
Speaker 4: with Bucky Brooks.
19:46
Speaker 10: I feel like we have an identity and we run
19:48
Speaker 10: a ball, run a ba you know, I feel like
19:51
Speaker 10: we do that. We find ways to move the ball downfield.
19:55
Speaker 10: Just they don't feel help out, deepense out, don't put out,
19:57
Speaker 10: don't have our defense out there hanging a dry get
20:00
Speaker 10: first downs, get first downs, and just be a fishing
20:03
Speaker 10: in the red zone.
20:04
Speaker 3: No, we've just been a fishing in the redszone. We
20:06
Speaker 3: don't even have these conversations.
20:08
Speaker 10: We just kind of be a poorly redszone team right now,
20:11
Speaker 10: leaving with three instead of instead of six. And that's
20:14
Speaker 10: the difference in these games that we've been having.
20:16
Speaker 4: Travis et and junior Jaguars running back asked about the
20:19
Speaker 4: identity of this team if there is one, and welcome
20:21
Speaker 4: back to huddle up with Bucky Brooks, j P Shadwick
20:24
Speaker 4: dohn Ozer and yes, Bucky Brooks. Monday Night Football is here,
20:28
Speaker 4: of course, join us at the Bank for the Monday
20:30
Speaker 4: Night Football watch Party presented by the University of Florida.
20:33
Speaker 4: It's Monday, September twenty third, the Jags and the Bills,
20:37
Speaker 4: and tickets are free.
20:38
Speaker 2: Gates open at six thirty.
20:40
Speaker 4: Go to Jaguars dot com Slash watch Party and register now.
20:45
Speaker 7: Yeah in reference to Travis's thoughts, how much different a
20:50
Speaker 7: film about the season if when they have the ball
20:53
Speaker 7: at the three and he fumbls it into the end
20:55
Speaker 7: zone week one, if they score and they had two
20:58
Speaker 7: opportunities at the two yard line last week, and if
21:04
Speaker 7: I'm remembering right, got six points out of it.
21:07
Speaker 2: Yep, not enough.
21:09
Speaker 7: So everything else, Bucky. It's a situational league, and in
21:17
Speaker 7: those situations when you come up short, it just usually
21:21
Speaker 7: bites you at the end of the game.
21:23
Speaker 3: It does bite you in the game.
21:24
Speaker 6: And I find it interesting that Travis would say that
21:29
Speaker 6: they're running team or running the ball as the identity,
21:31
Speaker 6: because I never get that sense that that is what
21:35
Speaker 6: this offense wants to be. Because if you're a team
21:38
Speaker 6: that is committing to running the ball, there's certain things
21:41
Speaker 6: that you do to ensure that everyone knows that that's
21:45
Speaker 6: your identity. Short yard of situations, it's not about Q plays.
21:49
Speaker 6: It's about lining up and sledgehammering the ball between the
21:52
Speaker 6: tackles and getting the first down. It's about being able
21:55
Speaker 6: to run the football when everyone in the stadium knows
21:57
Speaker 6: you need to run the ball and you're able to
22:00
Speaker 6: do it.
22:00
Speaker 3: So it's not only.
22:02
Speaker 6: Force in physicality, but it's also a stubborn mindset that
22:08
Speaker 6: I'm gonna run the ball in the first quarter and
22:10
Speaker 6: I don't care if we don't get it.
22:11
Speaker 3: I'm a running in the second, in the.
22:12
Speaker 6: Third quarter because I know in the fourth quarter we're
22:15
Speaker 6: gonna knock the doors off and we're gonna have a
22:17
Speaker 6: lot of success. That doesn't strike me as the identity
22:20
Speaker 6: of the team. I would say that the identity of
22:22
Speaker 6: this offense is one that is a little more for
22:25
Speaker 6: the nets.
22:26
Speaker 3: It's a little more we're.
22:27
Speaker 6: Gonna throw the ball all over the yard, We're gonna
22:30
Speaker 6: throw the score, and we will running when we need
22:32
Speaker 6: to win. But we are a pass first team that
22:35
Speaker 6: is kind of run through number sixteen.
22:39
Speaker 3: As opposed to the running game in the offensive line.
22:41
Speaker 7: Yeah, I got the impression JP that when Travis was
22:44
Speaker 7: asked that on Monday, first of all, or tuesdayn Sorry,
22:49
Speaker 7: you're being asked after a loss. You're one of two
22:52
Speaker 7: guys in the locker room and media sort of surround
22:54
Speaker 7: you're looking for something to say. I think he was
22:57
Speaker 7: sort of smiling saying, I'm a running back side. I
23:00
Speaker 7: like the identity of team to be a running game.
23:04
Speaker 7: He sort of fell back on that answer. I didn't
23:06
Speaker 7: get the idea that he was you know, what did
23:10
Speaker 7: Martin Luther do? He pounded the edict on the door.
23:15
Speaker 7: I don't think that was Travis saying this is what
23:17
Speaker 7: it you know, this is what it is. So I
23:24
Speaker 7: think I think as a runner, he'd love it to
23:27
Speaker 7: be and I think I took it to me he
23:32
Speaker 7: thought that they've been running well in some good situations
23:35
Speaker 7: this year, and and and that could be part of
23:38
Speaker 7: the identity.
23:39
Speaker 8: And I think he's right.
23:40
Speaker 7: I think they have been running pretty well at times,
23:42
Speaker 7: and I don't think they want a stray too far away,
23:46
Speaker 7: uh from that?
23:48
Speaker 8: So good Martin, I didn't think today.
23:54
Speaker 6: I certainly didn't think that was with me the parallels
23:56
Speaker 6: that we're going to reference Martin Luther.
23:57
Speaker 3: But I appreciate it.
23:58
Speaker 6: And as someone who like fancies the intellectual side, I
24:04
Speaker 6: dig that John.
24:04
Speaker 3: That you you brought that up in the middle of
24:07
Speaker 3: about ball.
24:08
Speaker 6: But so, yeah, you're probably right about like Travis kind
24:12
Speaker 6: of got caught on the spot asking about the identity.
24:14
Speaker 3: But here's the thing.
24:16
Speaker 6: Really good offenses, you don't have to know what the
24:19
Speaker 6: identity is. You see it, and it's very apparent each
24:22
Speaker 6: and every week. And so maybe that's part of the
24:24
Speaker 6: problem that we don't have a sense of what the
24:26
Speaker 6: identity of the offense is because it has been really
24:29
Speaker 6: muddled in terms.
24:30
Speaker 3: Of style of play, approach production.
24:34
Speaker 6: But I mean, the numbers speak for themselves when it
24:36
Speaker 6: comes to this offense bottom ten in most major categories.
24:40
Speaker 3: Third down red zone has been awful.
24:43
Speaker 6: Twenty six percent conversion rate on third down forty forty
24:46
Speaker 6: two percent in the red zone. Trevor Lawrence is only
24:49
Speaker 6: completing twenty one percent of his passes on third down.
24:51
Speaker 6: That's at the bottom of the league, I mean, even
24:54
Speaker 6: below Bryce Young. There are a lot of things to fix,
24:57
Speaker 6: but I think offensively, it starts with the basics.
25:00
Speaker 3: They have to.
25:01
Speaker 6: Win on the money downs and so third down, red
25:03
Speaker 6: zone they got to find a way to get it done.
25:05
Speaker 6: And they have not gotten it done, which is why
25:07
Speaker 6: we're sitting right now on too, because the offensive ineptitude
25:12
Speaker 6: just as not.
25:12
Speaker 3: I mean, look, it's been a major problem.
25:13
Speaker 7: Yeah, this is a little bit of a chicken in
25:15
Speaker 7: the egg answer, but I've gotten this question a lot
25:19
Speaker 7: this week. What's the identity of the offense? And my
25:22
Speaker 7: experience tells me when you don't convert third downs very well.
25:29
Speaker 7: Nobody can know what your identity is because you're never
25:31
Speaker 7: on the field. So I mean it's it's again, do
25:35
Speaker 7: you convert third downs well when you have a good identity?
25:38
Speaker 7: Probably it's probably a bit too that, But fifty and
25:41
Speaker 7: fifty five plays last two weeks, so it's hard to
25:45
Speaker 7: show your identity when you're always running off the field
25:50
Speaker 7: with your chin strap down.
25:51
Speaker 4: Well, the way to flip that around begins upfront on
25:54
Speaker 4: the offensive line. Then we're talking about the running game.
25:57
Speaker 4: We're talking about, but certainly in the past protection game,
25:59
Speaker 4: and they have another challenge on their hands this week
26:02
Speaker 4: with this Buffalo Bills defensive line and pass rushing group.
26:06
Speaker 2: Now, remember this is a Bill's.
26:07
Speaker 4: Defense that last year had five sacks on the Jaguars
26:10
Speaker 4: at Spurs and hit the quarterback win eight times in
26:14
Speaker 4: the game. They forced a fumble or at least one
26:17
Speaker 4: fumble out of Trevor Lawrence's hands. Aj Panessa had two
26:20
Speaker 4: of those sacks, Leonard Floyd had two. He's now in
26:22
Speaker 4: San Francisco and this game last year was von Miller's
26:26
Speaker 4: first game back off the injury. He wasn't really too
26:28
Speaker 4: effective in the game, but he is this year, Bucky,
26:31
Speaker 4: and this is a defensive front in Buffalo that can
26:35
Speaker 4: come get you. So where do you begin up front?
26:38
Speaker 4: What is the number one priority for the O line?
26:41
Speaker 3: Well, one, the offensive line.
26:42
Speaker 6: The communication has to be better in general, before we
26:45
Speaker 6: even talking about what the Buffalo bills do. You got
26:47
Speaker 6: to make sure the communication is own point. Everyone knows alignment,
26:50
Speaker 6: assignments and the adjustments. Two, when you're dealing with this front,
26:53
Speaker 6: you have to deal with the energy and the effort
26:55
Speaker 6: that you go see from a front line that might
26:58
Speaker 6: be a little undersized.
27:00
Speaker 3: Man, they make up for their lack of size with
27:02
Speaker 3: a lot of.
27:02
Speaker 6: Go uh in terms of like huffert I mean, hustle,
27:06
Speaker 6: effort and those things on the inside.
27:13
Speaker 2: They got no shot that's come on.
27:16
Speaker 3: Hustle, hustle, effort, all of this stuff. So you got
27:19
Speaker 3: to deal with Ed Oliver, you got to deal with
27:21
Speaker 3: von Miller, and you got to deal with the young
27:22
Speaker 3: kid Gregory Russeau. They can get after it.
27:25
Speaker 6: And if you're in long yarder situations where you don't
27:28
Speaker 6: win on first down, you're talking about second and long,
27:30
Speaker 6: that's when the problems happen. And in that stadium where
27:33
Speaker 6: the crowd can get a little boisterous.
27:35
Speaker 3: Uh. It makes it very, very difficult for an offense
27:38
Speaker 3: to convert.
27:38
Speaker 6: So first down will be a very key down, critical
27:41
Speaker 6: down for the Jackson of Jaguarks.
27:42
Speaker 8: Yeah.
27:43
Speaker 7: I would just be surprised and I guess disappointed if
27:48
Speaker 7: this week, considering you're going to Buffalo, where on a
27:51
Speaker 7: Monday night where you know concentration has to.
27:54
Speaker 8: Be the highest. Uh.
27:57
Speaker 7: I don't think you can win in the NFL period
27:59
Speaker 7: if if the communication all that stuff that Trevor was
28:02
Speaker 7: talking about after the game, if that's not there, I
28:05
Speaker 7: don't It's hard to win anyway. But maybe you get
28:08
Speaker 7: away with it at home. Maybe you get away with
28:10
Speaker 7: it in Miami where the crowd does not have a
28:12
Speaker 7: reputation as the same as Buffalo. But Buffalo Monday night,
28:17
Speaker 7: if you're not laser focused, ready, amped, whatever, playing with
28:23
Speaker 7: Huffert all that, if you're not doing those things in
28:27
Speaker 7: Buffalo after what Trevor said, then there's a problem. You know,
28:33
Speaker 7: I would be surprised, Bucky if you don't see a
28:36
Speaker 7: team on Monday that is as on point as it's
28:41
Speaker 7: been in a while. And interesting if you go back
28:44
Speaker 7: compared the game of Spurs last year. That game was
28:50
Speaker 7: one of those games you and I have talked about
28:52
Speaker 7: it so much.
28:54
Speaker 8: They made just so many big plays.
28:55
Speaker 7: Remember that, you know, the passes to Ridley to get
28:58
Speaker 7: them out of third and five with the goal line,
29:01
Speaker 7: and then Travis nailing down the game with big runs.
29:04
Speaker 2: A catch in the back shows.
29:08
Speaker 7: And those are the kind of plays where they went
29:11
Speaker 7: and won the darn game. And they just haven't done
29:15
Speaker 7: that the last fifteen sixteen games. I think it's fair
29:18
Speaker 7: for fans to wonder where all that went.
29:22
Speaker 6: Yeah, look, I also wonder where all of that that went.
29:26
Speaker 6: Like they haven't been able to kind of get it
29:28
Speaker 6: done when they needed to in those critical situations. And
29:32
Speaker 6: I think you're right about like this being a performance
29:34
Speaker 6: where we'll see the best in that. I think from
29:36
Speaker 6: a player standpoint, Monday night football.
29:39
Speaker 3: Is as good as it gets.
29:41
Speaker 6: I think it plays to our childhood dreams and those
29:45
Speaker 6: things like everyone wants to play on the big stage
29:47
Speaker 6: where everyone is watching. This is an opportunity for the
29:50
Speaker 6: football world to see. It's an opportunity for your peers
29:53
Speaker 6: to see you on the main stage that typically brings
29:56
Speaker 6: out your best performance. And when you're an O and
29:58
Speaker 6: two team and everyone around town. The noise is growing.
30:02
Speaker 6: The criticism has been loud. Man, there's no better way
30:05
Speaker 6: to rewrite the narrative. Tend to go out and put
30:08
Speaker 6: on an impressive showing on Monday night. I think all
30:11
Speaker 6: hands on deck, but I think the energy and the attention,
30:13
Speaker 6: the detail will be on par. Everyone wants to dazz
30:16
Speaker 6: when you're into big stage.
30:17
Speaker 2: John Print, the T shirts, Huffert.
30:21
Speaker 8: Huffer again them. I think that may be the key
30:24
Speaker 8: going forward.
30:24
Speaker 2: Gotta have it, gotta play it.
30:26
Speaker 3: Huffert.
30:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
30:26
Speaker 4: If you don't have that, you don't have it anything right.
30:29
Speaker 4: We're backing you don't. It's uh, We're back in a moment.
30:33
Speaker 4: We'll look at our final thoughts ahead of this Monday
30:35
Speaker 4: night football matchup the Jaguars and the Bills. That Huddle

30:57
Speaker 4: Final thoughts JP Shatterck with John Osher and Jacksonville The
30:59
Speaker 4: Day Studios at the middle of Electric Center. Bucky Brooks
31:03
Speaker 4: in Los Angeles the Jaguars and the Bills on Monday
31:06
Speaker 4: Night Football.
31:07
Speaker 2: The last seven.
31:08
Speaker 4: Meetings between these teams have each been decided by seven
31:12
Speaker 4: points or less, including the AFC Wildcard playoff game after
31:16
Speaker 4: the twenty seventeen season, and the Jaguars in that I
31:19
Speaker 4: mean since twenty thirteen. The Jaguars have had a lot
31:22
Speaker 4: of not very good teams in that timeframe. The Bills
31:25
Speaker 4: have mostly had success, certainly in the last five years,
31:28
Speaker 4: double digit wins each of those years. But the Jaguars
31:31
Speaker 4: and Bills always seem to be matched pretty evenly. John,
31:34
Speaker 4: We'll see if that's the case again this week.
31:36
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'd be very surprised if the Jaguars don't play
31:40
Speaker 7: their best game of the year. I'd be very surprised
31:43
Speaker 7: if they don't come out strong. If there's not energy.
31:47
Speaker 7: What I worry about is is that enough against a
31:52
Speaker 7: Bills team I think is really good. Sometimes you see
31:54
Speaker 7: those kind of games where there's energy in prime time,
31:56
Speaker 7: and the fact remains of this Bills team I think
31:58
Speaker 7: is one of the two or three Super Bowl favorites
32:00
Speaker 7: in the AFC. I consider them that until they show
32:03
Speaker 7: me they're not, and will the energy against a really
32:08
Speaker 7: good team and really good quarterback be enough to sustain.
32:12
Speaker 7: The Bills are one of those teams because of Josh Allen.
32:15
Speaker 7: It sort of finds a way to beat teams despite
32:18
Speaker 7: their best effort. But I would be surprised if we
32:21
Speaker 7: don't see the Jaguars' best effort on Monday.
32:23
Speaker 6: Bucky, Yeah, I think this is a good matchup for
32:27
Speaker 6: the Jags. I think they match up with their personnel
32:29
Speaker 6: on the outside pretty well. They don't have an established
32:32
Speaker 6: number one receiver. The ball kind of goes where it goes.
32:35
Speaker 6: I think the number one thing is dealing with number seventeen.
32:38
Speaker 6: I think you have to make him uncomfortable. It's really
32:40
Speaker 6: on the pass rush. Josh Heinz Allen and Trayvon Walkin
32:44
Speaker 6: to be able to disrupt the.
32:45
Speaker 3: Timing of the passing game. Feel good about the chances
32:49
Speaker 3: of being able to get them covered.
32:50
Speaker 6: But if you're unable to get around the quarterback early,
32:54
Speaker 6: then you have to deal with the scramble plays.
32:56
Speaker 3: And the scramble plays.
32:57
Speaker 6: Typically lead to explosive plays a lot of on the defense.
33:01
Speaker 6: But look, I think this team is going to play well.
33:04
Speaker 6: My expectations that I'm going to the road and get
33:06
Speaker 6: a big win, and that win is going to spark
33:09
Speaker 6: a little bit of a run as.
33:10
Speaker 3: We get to the thick of the schedule.
33:12
Speaker 8: Need it, Yeah, I have it.
33:13
Speaker 4: Oh and to start Jags on the road against the
33:15
Speaker 4: two and oh Buffalo Bills. Seven thirty Monday kickoff on ESPN.
