1:03
Speaker 1: It's all good. Oh hey, we're getting ready for week fifteen.
1:07
Speaker 1: John the division matchup this week at home. The Jaguars
1:11
Speaker 1: are trying to get some points first off and get
1:13
Speaker 1: something positive going a lot of noise around here lately.
1:16
Speaker 1: Well it's Tervor likes to say they're not going to
1:18
Speaker 1: cancel them, so, uh, They're gonna play games the rest
1:21
Speaker 1: of the season. So Jeffers need to show up and
1:23
Speaker 1: do the best they can. I I, you know, four
1:29
Speaker 1: games remaining. I don't know where the offense is going
1:31
Speaker 1: to improve, but it's been seven and zero the last
1:36
Speaker 1: two weeks. So let's see if they can get into
1:38
Speaker 1: double digits against the team that you ought to be
1:40
Speaker 1: able to get into double digits against. Yeah, I mean
1:43
Speaker 1: this is this is set up for the Jags, right, Bucky.
1:46
Speaker 1: I mean it's the the two lowest scoring teams in football.
1:49
Speaker 1: Come on, John, I'm gonna need more optimism and positivity. Like, look,
1:54
Speaker 1: we're on Wednesday now, like we're looking ahead, we're focused
1:57
Speaker 1: on like this is gonna be the best reformance that
1:59
Speaker 1: we've seen this year. I need more positivity. Okay, but
2:03
Speaker 1: you're on the West Coast and maybe you just rolled
2:06
Speaker 1: out of the rack. I had a long day to day, Buck,
2:09
Speaker 1: how about that. Now it's I do think there's some
2:13
Speaker 1: room for positivity later in the show because I do
2:15
Speaker 1: think there are ways for the offense against the Texans
2:18
Speaker 1: to generate some points. I yeah, they've lost by fifty
2:22
Speaker 1: one the last two weeks the Jags, the Texans have
2:26
Speaker 1: lost by fifty So there you go. It should be
2:30
Speaker 1: a very even matchup. But that's a good way to
2:35
Speaker 1: look at it. Let's start with Trevor Lawrence today. And yes,
2:39
Speaker 1: it's been a noisy week around the organization, the aftermath
2:42
Speaker 1: of the Week fourteen shutout loss with the Jaguars and
2:46
Speaker 1: Nashville owners Shot Con was out in the media this
2:49
Speaker 1: week around his tenth anniversary of ownership, all the reports
2:53
Speaker 1: of last Saturday before that game in Tennessee and the
2:57
Speaker 1: response to that on Monday, Sunday after the game and
3:00
Speaker 1: Monday as well. Now it's on the week fifteen, and
3:03
Speaker 1: we heard from the quarterback today, Trevor Lawrence. Yeah, it's
3:06
Speaker 1: been noisy, but the drama at some point must stop. Yeah,
3:11
Speaker 1: I mean you're always You're always gonna have some form
3:13
Speaker 1: of drama. I've learned that even just the NFL is
3:15
Speaker 1: just more drama in general than college no matter where
3:18
Speaker 1: you're at but you're right. I mean there's been a
3:20
Speaker 1: lot and uh yeah, to your point, I do think
3:23
Speaker 1: that has to change, and um, you know, that's something
3:26
Speaker 1: that we need to work on for sure. So you
3:28
Speaker 1: can't always be in the headlines. You just gotta go
3:30
Speaker 1: play football. And that's where we're trying to get and
3:33
Speaker 1: I have no doubt we'll get there. But for sure,
3:36
Speaker 1: you can't always be in the headlines. You just gotta
3:39
Speaker 1: go play football. Bucky, that's the money quote of the day.
3:42
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I think it is money quartter
3:45
Speaker 1: today and I think as you look ahead to this
3:47
Speaker 1: year and beyond, I think Trevor Lawrence understands it. I
3:50
Speaker 1: think he gets it. He understands that, like, you can't
3:52
Speaker 1: be a very successful franchise and organization if you have
3:55
Speaker 1: a lot of the outside noise, uh and you're heavily
3:58
Speaker 1: involved in the drama. Is one thing to have like
4:01
Speaker 1: outsiders talking about the team, it's another thing to be
4:04
Speaker 1: um intimately involved in why they're talking about the team.
4:07
Speaker 1: And so they has to quiet now. But as a
4:09
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback, I think the one thing that we've seen
4:11
Speaker 1: this year, his maturity is really beyond his years. He's
4:14
Speaker 1: really stepped into their role as a QB one in
4:17
Speaker 1: terms of being a leader on and off the field,
4:19
Speaker 1: and I think it was eventually serving well as the
4:21
Speaker 1: leader of the team having gone through this kind of
4:24
Speaker 1: topsy turvy, uh, very dramatic first season. I thought people
4:31
Speaker 1: made a lot of Trevor talking about James Robinson last week.
4:37
Speaker 1: To me, I thought this was Trevor Lawrence sand However,
4:41
Speaker 1: it stops, It has to stop, and we need to
4:44
Speaker 1: be focused on football. It needs to be quieter and
4:48
Speaker 1: more focused on football now and in the future. I
4:52
Speaker 1: thought it was as stand up and as poised and
4:55
Speaker 1: as well spoken and well handled away that you could
4:59
Speaker 1: possibly answer the question as impressed as I've been with
5:02
Speaker 1: Trevor since he got here. I thought today was a
5:06
Speaker 1: staggeringly impressive moment for him. An important moment. Yeah, yeah,
5:12
Speaker 1: I think I think it was very important. I think
5:14
Speaker 1: the one thing John, just just remember how Trevor came
5:17
Speaker 1: into this league, and how he first started talking, when
5:20
Speaker 1: he had the initial press, and how we saw him
5:22
Speaker 1: early and to see him now. Oh, it is absolutely
5:25
Speaker 1: his team. He is absolutely the guy that you put
5:27
Speaker 1: on the billboards. He has all of that stuff. They'll
5:30
Speaker 1: clean up this stuff that is impacted him on the
5:33
Speaker 1: field in terms of the turnovers and those things. But
5:35
Speaker 1: the leadership qualities and those things, I don't think if
5:38
Speaker 1: you're management of the front office ownership, I think you
5:41
Speaker 1: picked the right guy a number one. Now it's about
5:43
Speaker 1: how can you get him to play like the number
5:45
Speaker 1: one pick on the field. Let's get to on the field.
5:48
Speaker 1: Of course, Lawrence had those four interceptions in the second
5:51
Speaker 1: half this past week against Tennessee's trying to claw back
5:55
Speaker 1: into that football game in Nashville. Urban Meyer today on
5:58
Speaker 1: those interceptions against Tennessee, and the only one was a
6:03
Speaker 1: bad one was the the forced the last one. The
6:07
Speaker 1: other one was a tip ball. The other one, in
6:08
Speaker 1: my mind down the field, the receivers gotta go get
6:10
Speaker 1: that ball, compete for the ball. And I almost I've
6:13
Speaker 1: said that. I think on the radio show, just the
6:15
Speaker 1: fifty rules something that we lived by. That's fifty percent
6:18
Speaker 1: of time quarterback makes a mistake of time it's on
6:21
Speaker 1: the receiver for whatever reason, something ron depth, tip ball
6:26
Speaker 1: and then like a protection issue or you know they
6:30
Speaker 1: blitzed in the guy dropped out and caught Trevor right
6:32
Speaker 1: at you know, those are all everybody wants to blame
6:35
Speaker 1: the quarterback. We don't do that. We it's because, first
6:38
Speaker 1: of all, that's not true. On occasions it's true, but
6:42
Speaker 1: most of the time it's spread the responsibility. There's urban teasing,
6:47
Speaker 1: the Urban Meyer Show and the Jaguars Radio network. Last night,
6:51
Speaker 1: Bucky the fifty twent rule, and it makes sense. It
6:55
Speaker 1: is a full team offensive concept. Sometimes it is a
6:58
Speaker 1: quarterback's fault. Sometimes it's on Now I like that I
7:02
Speaker 1: learned something fifty twenty. I know how to allocate the
7:05
Speaker 1: blame if something ever goes wrong with the whole of podcast,
7:08
Speaker 1: Like if they're sending me maybe zero hundred yeah, so,
7:17
Speaker 1: But now I like that. I think he is right. Um,
7:21
Speaker 1: a lot of it will be made, a lot has
7:22
Speaker 1: been made. But Trevor Lawrence's turnovers and those things, and
7:26
Speaker 1: people on the outside of talking about how poorly he
7:28
Speaker 1: has played based on his draft position. But I would say, look, man,
7:31
Speaker 1: we see it every week, we're looking at it. He
7:33
Speaker 1: doesn't have a lot of support around him. One the
7:36
Speaker 1: talent around him. He doesn't have enough guys that can
7:38
Speaker 1: separate and create big open windows. And then I would say,
7:42
Speaker 1: from a schematic standpoint, it's not ideal the system that
7:45
Speaker 1: he's playing in, but it is what it is. Ideally,
7:47
Speaker 1: you want to make better decisions, take care of the ball,
7:49
Speaker 1: because it was an effort where the defense play well
7:51
Speaker 1: enough for the team to win offensively, got to kind
7:54
Speaker 1: of find a way to score enough points to see
7:55
Speaker 1: in these games. The foreign receptions this week bothered me
8:01
Speaker 1: as little as four inter ships and as four interceptions
8:04
Speaker 1: could possibly bother. I thought the first one was clearly
8:07
Speaker 1: a a drop. The second one I think he'd like
8:13
Speaker 1: to have back. Uh. But the third one was a
8:15
Speaker 1: punt on third and eight and you're throwing it up
8:18
Speaker 1: and the fourth winner down by seventeen. I you know,
8:22
Speaker 1: a kid trying to make a play and a kid
8:24
Speaker 1: trying to be competitive and and probably frustrated with here.
8:27
Speaker 1: I don't think the fourth one happens if it's a
8:30
Speaker 1: it's a three point game. So I don't want four
8:34
Speaker 1: interceptions needed? Is he? But I'm not worried that that's
8:37
Speaker 1: going to be a thing for Trevor. He mentioned today,
8:40
Speaker 1: among many other things, he reduced his interceptions when he
8:45
Speaker 1: wanted to reduce them through the middle of the season,
8:48
Speaker 1: and I think now he's looking at saying Okay, I
8:50
Speaker 1: know I can do that. Now he has to find out.
8:53
Speaker 1: I think Becky would agree with this. He has to
8:55
Speaker 1: find out, even if it means taking some chance throws
8:57
Speaker 1: and making some mistakes. He has to find out what
9:00
Speaker 1: his strengths do, what he can do, and what he
9:04
Speaker 1: can't do. And I may even be stealing a quote
9:06
Speaker 1: from Buck. He's probably said that already this show or
9:09
Speaker 1: this season. He has to figure out what he can do,
9:12
Speaker 1: where you can go with the ball, what his arm
9:14
Speaker 1: can do, and what it can't. So I at this
9:17
Speaker 1: point the season, I trust that he will learn from
9:19
Speaker 1: his own mistakes. I trust that he will continue learning
9:22
Speaker 1: from every rep because I think he's that smart. So
9:24
Speaker 1: I don't mind a few mistakes right now. I'm not
9:26
Speaker 1: gonna worry about that interception the fourth quarter against the Titans.
9:29
Speaker 1: When I'm analyzing Trevor Lawrence in March, you know, I
9:34
Speaker 1: think that is it. I think every young quarterback has
9:36
Speaker 1: to figure out where that line is when it comes
9:38
Speaker 1: to where can I squeeze the ball into when I
9:40
Speaker 1: need to dial it back, when I need to play safe.
9:43
Speaker 1: It's part of learning how to manage the game. And
9:45
Speaker 1: I know people hate their game manager turn. But like
9:47
Speaker 1: a lot of playing quarterback is about managing the game,
9:51
Speaker 1: understanding time, score, situation, when I can be a little
9:54
Speaker 1: more aggressive, when I need to dial it back, and
9:56
Speaker 1: that's something that he's learning. One of the reasons why
9:58
Speaker 1: you play a young quarterback is the them these live
10:01
Speaker 1: reps in experience, and I think what we're seeing is, look,
10:03
Speaker 1: he's learning, he's trying to figure it out. But eventually
10:06
Speaker 1: do you think will work to his benefit down the line?
10:09
Speaker 1: It would help if they could run the ball a
10:10
Speaker 1: little bit more effectively than they did last week. It's
10:17
Speaker 1: up to the quarterback to be a guy who can
10:20
Speaker 1: learn from it. I mean, if you're just throwing interceptions
10:23
Speaker 1: Willie Nelly and you keep doing it well, then it
10:26
Speaker 1: doesn't do any good. But he seems to me a
10:29
Speaker 1: guy who can process that. You can know it. And
10:32
Speaker 1: you know the eight runs last week, I I kind
10:35
Speaker 1: of get it. I mean, when you're down like they were,
10:39
Speaker 1: they only ran what liket eight plays. Uh, he didn't
10:44
Speaker 1: run an incredible amount of plays, but they were also
10:47
Speaker 1: still in the game at times when they could have
10:48
Speaker 1: been running. So last week seemed like sort of a
10:51
Speaker 1: half and half on that front. To me. You know,
10:55
Speaker 1: it's just so starkly low. It's a franchise. Records are
10:58
Speaker 1: alarming and all that it is. But you know it.
11:04
Speaker 1: I watched the first quarter of that game, but um,
11:08
Speaker 1: it didn't seem to me like pounding it into the middle.
11:14
Speaker 1: Nothing was gonna work. But I didn't think that was
11:16
Speaker 1: gonna work. I mean, I can't say that it was
11:20
Speaker 1: going to work. But what you would like to see is, um,
11:23
Speaker 1: if you're gonna take that approach where you don't throw it, oh,
11:26
Speaker 1: you don't run it, and what you want is high
11:29
Speaker 1: percentage throws, like a bunch of quick screens, a bunch
11:32
Speaker 1: of quick passes, things where you can complete sevent those
11:36
Speaker 1: throws and you can replace the running game with the
11:39
Speaker 1: short passing in. But what you can have is we're
11:42
Speaker 1: not going to run it, but then it's a higher
11:44
Speaker 1: level degree um throwing session because then you don't have
11:48
Speaker 1: the efficiency that you want on offense. And so it's
11:51
Speaker 1: one of those things I don't think everyone is trying
11:52
Speaker 1: to figure out. I think, um, you have Daryl Bevil
11:55
Speaker 1: and those guys trying to figure it out on an
11:57
Speaker 1: offense and what can we do with what we have
11:58
Speaker 1: in front of us. What can we you to help
12:00
Speaker 1: the young quarterback in everybody's trying right now. Man, we've
12:03
Speaker 1: just been in the wheel and nothing's coming up. We're
12:06
Speaker 1: returning a moment and get into the defensive performance last
12:09
Speaker 1: week and moving ahead against the Houston Texans a little
12:13
Speaker 1: bit later. We'll get into the Texans season. So far,
12:15
Speaker 1: it's been a struggle down there also and a lot
12:19
Speaker 1: coming up. We are often running and Huddle Up with
12:22
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks is brought to you by Fields Cadillac of
12:24
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and Fields Cadillac St. Augustine, members of the Fields
12:27
Speaker 1: Auto Group, and this is Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks
12:30
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Digital Network. That's the austence of this
12:44
Speaker 1: great game, this complimentary How do you take care of
12:46
Speaker 1: each other and just stick together at all costs. I
12:48
Speaker 1: have of all the losses, which look losing Piazza wager
12:53
Speaker 1: soul um. However, I'm not sure I've ever seen it
13:00
Speaker 1: like what I saw Sunday, And that was a credit
13:04
Speaker 1: to the leadership of defense and then uh stick delevant,
13:07
Speaker 1: you know, picking each other up. It was it was amazing.
13:10
Speaker 1: You know, you get a couple of first downs, is
13:13
Speaker 1: was um difficult because the offense was we were still
13:18
Speaker 1: in that darn game. That's a head coach Urban Meyer
13:21
Speaker 1: of course today welcome back. It's out of love with
13:23
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks, j P Shadwick, John Osier along with Yes,
13:27
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks, he's out in Los Angeles. Well, he's talking
13:31
Speaker 1: about the defense fighting in that game. Of of course,
13:34
Speaker 1: there was some long drives early in the first half.
13:36
Speaker 1: It couldn't get off the field some and but then
13:38
Speaker 1: in the second half, those quick change situations, the four
13:42
Speaker 1: interceptions the Jags and the ensuing drives after them allowed
13:45
Speaker 1: a total of twenty one yards and only a field goal.
13:49
Speaker 1: And that's what Urban was alluding to their Bucky just
13:52
Speaker 1: that the second half it's still that's not one point.
13:55
Speaker 1: It was a uh ten nothing game and then it
13:58
Speaker 1: was seventeen. But it could have really gotten out of
14:00
Speaker 1: hand quickly. Yeah, it could have gotten out of hand quickly,
14:04
Speaker 1: but the defense stepped up from played. I think it's
14:06
Speaker 1: one of the better performances when you look at the
14:07
Speaker 1: way that they competed and got after it. Uh, it
14:10
Speaker 1: was impressed on their look. Tennessee is shorthanded. They don't
14:14
Speaker 1: have Derrick Kennedy. They didn't have a j Brown, whom
14:16
Speaker 1: John was. All those guys like unnecessarily playing roles. But
14:18
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, like for a defense that has struggled.
14:22
Speaker 1: I like the effort, I like the energy. I really
14:24
Speaker 1: like the execution. And the guy at the top of this,
14:27
Speaker 1: I mean, Wilson really spit out to me. He and
14:28
Speaker 1: Miles jack can mind it for twenty Jacko's being able
14:31
Speaker 1: to make plays, being able to have enough physic galley
14:33
Speaker 1: and toughness inside to do with the running at it's
14:36
Speaker 1: pretty impressive every I think you can build upon that
14:38
Speaker 1: and over the next four games. What you're trying to
14:40
Speaker 1: do is build some positive momentum going into the off seat,
14:45
Speaker 1: and so let's see if the defense can continue to
14:47
Speaker 1: buildup on this performance. John. You know, throughout the year
14:50
Speaker 1: we're trying to figure out what the offensive identity is.
14:53
Speaker 1: I don't know if they've really figured that out yet. Defensively,
14:55
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna try to stop the run, and
14:57
Speaker 1: they're gonna bring some heat. They're gonna pressure it up
14:59
Speaker 1: a lot of different ways. From Joe Colin, you have
15:01
Speaker 1: a pretty good idea of what they are, and then
15:04
Speaker 1: you know they do have some areas they can improve,
15:06
Speaker 1: but that's what this defense is. Right there's a sliver
15:10
Speaker 1: of an element of watching that game, you knew the
15:14
Speaker 1: Titans figured out once they were up ten nothing they
15:19
Speaker 1: needed to not make mistakes in order to win that game.
15:22
Speaker 1: So there's a little bit a the smallest sliver of
15:27
Speaker 1: the Titans were not necessarily airing it out, not necessarily
15:30
Speaker 1: bringing their a game in the second half. That said,
15:35
Speaker 1: I think there is definitely something what Urban said about
15:39
Speaker 1: the resiliency of this defensive unit is staggeringly impressive right now. Um,
15:45
Speaker 1: they've done this three or four different times where they
15:48
Speaker 1: have played really well when the offense was just absolutely
15:53
Speaker 1: uh you know nothing, which it was the other day,
15:57
Speaker 1: and you're at the point of the season now by
15:59
Speaker 1: week third team where if that wasn't real, it would
16:02
Speaker 1: have gone away. Um, so the one thing they've got
16:06
Speaker 1: to do. It feels to me, Bucky, like there is
16:09
Speaker 1: a bass slide for this defense. I think they know
16:13
Speaker 1: that there are five, six, seven guys who are really good,
16:17
Speaker 1: really rotational, uh you know, Smoot Alan Jack, Damien Wilson,
16:22
Speaker 1: Shack Griffin, uh uh Tyson, camber Ro, Robinson, Harris. There
16:29
Speaker 1: are guys that you would like to see back in
16:31
Speaker 1: part of the core their step that they have to
16:35
Speaker 1: take creating takeaways, creating turnovers six this season, one in
16:41
Speaker 1: the last five games. But I think a lot of
16:43
Speaker 1: that is because the other offenses aren't doing anything because
16:46
Speaker 1: they know the only way they're gonna lose this team
16:48
Speaker 1: is to give up turnovers. But how much do they need,
16:52
Speaker 1: Bucky in terms of creating turnovers? Is it just one
16:56
Speaker 1: pass rusher, is it one safety? Where do you find that? Uh? Three?
17:01
Speaker 1: You different things. Um One is being able to control
17:04
Speaker 1: the game offensively, being in the game, so the offense
17:08
Speaker 1: has to take more chances. I think the other thing is,
17:11
Speaker 1: you know you need a pass rusher because the guy
17:14
Speaker 1: who is responsible for fIF percenters the almost is typically
17:16
Speaker 1: the quarterback, So you want to hit the quarterback. The
17:18
Speaker 1: quarterback drops the ball. That's why you typically get turnovers.
17:22
Speaker 1: And then the other thing. It has to be a
17:23
Speaker 1: point of emphasis. So everything that you see in practice
17:26
Speaker 1: has to be about creating turnover. So you gotta see
17:29
Speaker 1: deeps catching the ball, linebackers catching the ball, uction it out.
17:32
Speaker 1: You have to have the pass rushers attacking the quarterback
17:34
Speaker 1: and hitting the bags and learning how to knock it out.
17:36
Speaker 1: It has to become habitual, and so if you get
17:39
Speaker 1: those things, that's when the turnovers become But a lot
17:41
Speaker 1: of it is like John said, the game has to
17:44
Speaker 1: be at a point where the offense has to be
17:46
Speaker 1: aggressive so you can take advantage of the aggressive. Yeah,
17:51
Speaker 1: that's the point I always make. When you've got six
17:53
Speaker 1: takeaways for season, um, to me, that's rarely. Hey, this
17:59
Speaker 1: defense isn't any good to me. When you've got six takeaways,
18:02
Speaker 1: you probably look at that season overall and think, well,
18:05
Speaker 1: that's a team that has not led very much, and
18:09
Speaker 1: they haven't. They haven't led in five weeks. To me,
18:13
Speaker 1: it's not a coincidence you only have one takeaway during
18:15
Speaker 1: that time. Team is getting conservative a lot of the game. Yeah,
18:18
Speaker 1: why should you take any chances offensively against this team
18:20
Speaker 1: right now when you know this offense can't come back
18:22
Speaker 1: on you. Speaking of pass rushers, we heard from Josh
18:25
Speaker 1: Allen today. The last three weeks he is combined for
18:29
Speaker 1: seven tackles. He's been on the injury reports sum as well.
18:33
Speaker 1: Josh Allen trying to get something going down the stretch
18:36
Speaker 1: the final four games, if not for himself, for the
18:39
Speaker 1: guys around him. I really do want to finish. You
18:43
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, statistically good, mentally good, and physically
18:46
Speaker 1: good all at the end of the day. And you know,
18:49
Speaker 1: if I'm not getting statistically there, then I hope my
18:53
Speaker 1: brother smooth. You know what I'm saying, Malcolm Brown. You know,
18:55
Speaker 1: I expect one to do them to pick up that slack,
18:58
Speaker 1: so one I get my slap back. I ain't let
19:00
Speaker 1: them slack all, you know, saying now we can all
19:02
Speaker 1: lead together, you know, And that's vice versa for any situation.
19:05
Speaker 1: And uh so my goal is man to finish. You know. Still,
19:10
Speaker 1: you know, all pro, my Mentali is still all pro.
19:12
Speaker 1: You know, same pro Bowl player. That's still my Mentallli.
19:14
Speaker 1: You That's how I'm way. I'm finished and hopefully it
19:16
Speaker 1: continues like that to do a still group. So the
19:20
Speaker 1: Josh Allen versus Josh Allen game, Bucky back in Week nine,
19:24
Speaker 1: he had eight tackles, the sacked, the interception, the fumble recovery.
19:28
Speaker 1: We all remember that when that ended a string of
19:31
Speaker 1: four straight games with seven or more tackles, he was
19:33
Speaker 1: really kind of coming into his prime. Had a Week
19:36
Speaker 1: ten game where he had two tackles, then he had
19:37
Speaker 1: ten the next week. Since then, it's been a little
19:40
Speaker 1: quiet statistically for Josh Allen. It would be nice to
19:43
Speaker 1: see him jump back up down the stretch here. Yeah,
19:47
Speaker 1: you'd like to see the production step up for him. Well,
19:49
Speaker 1: some of that is like the nature of the position,
19:51
Speaker 1: like typically you get stacked in bunches. It's not like
19:54
Speaker 1: a steady dripped like the coffee machine where you just
19:56
Speaker 1: get a sacked week and you finished with seventeen sack
20:00
Speaker 1: so in the year. Um, I think it's one of
20:02
Speaker 1: the things when he caught everybody's attention with that Buffalo game,
20:05
Speaker 1: and so I think if you look at the defense,
20:07
Speaker 1: the number one thing that you talk about, if you're
20:08
Speaker 1: in opposing offensive coordinator, how are we gonna handle the
20:11
Speaker 1: number forty one? Because number forty one can be the
20:13
Speaker 1: one guy that can create the turnovers that John talked
20:16
Speaker 1: about that could give the Jaguars enough life to win
20:18
Speaker 1: the game. And so let's make sure we take care
20:20
Speaker 1: of him. We'll take our chances with the other guys
20:23
Speaker 1: because this doesn't appear to be another dynamic player at
20:26
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, and some of that has caused
20:29
Speaker 1: his production to go down. But I like his mindset
20:31
Speaker 1: and I like what he said. He talked about, look
20:33
Speaker 1: at my numbers go down, and I expect other guys
20:35
Speaker 1: to pick it up. And then when they pick it
20:37
Speaker 1: up and I'm able to get back on track, then
20:40
Speaker 1: we'll raise up the level of defense. And so I
20:42
Speaker 1: like his mentality. I mean, and I'll say this, and look,
20:45
Speaker 1: I know there're two and eleven, but there's some good
20:47
Speaker 1: young pieces to gold around. Um. It's just about putting
20:50
Speaker 1: the right things around them and having the right environment
20:53
Speaker 1: that allows them to flourish. This kind of goes back
20:55
Speaker 1: to our conversation moment ago John with the conservative nature
20:58
Speaker 1: of the other teams a lot of the game too.
21:00
Speaker 1: They're gonna have, you know, seven step drop stand back.
21:02
Speaker 1: They're patting the football quarterback when they're up by three scores. Yeah.
21:05
Speaker 1: To me, Josh needs two things. He needs one more
21:09
Speaker 1: elite guy, because I think he can be elite on
21:13
Speaker 1: their front seven, meaning Damian Wilson, Miles Jack, but I'm
21:17
Speaker 1: talking about the front five that go after the quarterback.
21:20
Speaker 1: He needs one more guy in there that other teams
21:23
Speaker 1: have to be scared of. And he needs to play
21:26
Speaker 1: with leads. And I'm a broken record on this. Eleven
21:31
Speaker 1: games this year out of third team, they have trailed
21:33
Speaker 1: by double digits at some point. If you're an opposing coordinator,
21:38
Speaker 1: why in the world up double digits do you let
21:41
Speaker 1: your quarterback drop and give Josh Allen a chance to
21:44
Speaker 1: go get a sack fumble. When you're up ten points,
21:47
Speaker 1: you drop your quarterback three or five steps and say, hey,
21:50
Speaker 1: if Jos gets close to you, throw the ball out
21:51
Speaker 1: of bounce. And I'm simplifying it, but don't make a
21:54
Speaker 1: mistake where they can turn the game on you. Uh.
21:57
Speaker 1: Great pass rushers get right usually because they're playing with leeds,
22:02
Speaker 1: it works, and the Jacks have not had a lot
22:04
Speaker 1: of that this season. Let's come back and take a
22:07
Speaker 1: look at the Houston Texans, both teams two and eleven
22:11
Speaker 1: coming into this week fifteen matchup. And this is Huddle
22:13
Speaker 1: Up with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network. You know,
22:29
Speaker 1: you guys, you guys are great, but uh, I think
22:33
Speaker 1: of you know guys are great, But I'm not very old,
22:39
Speaker 1: but I've learned a few things and dealing with the
22:41
Speaker 1: media over my time and just um, I think it's
22:44
Speaker 1: you gotta be wise and you can't ever take things
22:47
Speaker 1: back as you say, especially publicly. So, um, I've kind
22:50
Speaker 1: of learned that, luckily not the hard way, just from
22:52
Speaker 1: watching watching other people throughout my career, and um, that's
22:56
Speaker 1: just something I've always been cautious of. And but yeah, exactly,
22:59
Speaker 1: like said, we're gonna team coaches, locker room players. So
23:02
Speaker 1: that's the uh uh speaker mind. That's Trevor Lawrence of
23:06
Speaker 1: course today and welcome back and huddle up with Bucky Brooks,
23:09
Speaker 1: JP Shadrick john O's are along with Bucky and the
23:12
Speaker 1: Jaguars faced the Houston Texans for the second time this season.
23:16
Speaker 1: Way back in Week one, the Texans knocked off the
23:19
Speaker 1: Jaguars and NRG Stadium. It's a totally different Texans team
23:24
Speaker 1: these days. We start on offense. They are dead last
23:27
Speaker 1: in the league in many categories including points per game,
23:32
Speaker 1: total offense, rushing offense. They've got a new quarterback in
23:35
Speaker 1: there now, Bucky and Davis Mills, the third round rookie
23:39
Speaker 1: out of Stanford who went over three hundred last time out?
23:43
Speaker 1: What do you make of Mills? So not a bad player?
23:47
Speaker 1: You gotta remember when this kid came out, he was
23:49
Speaker 1: number one recruited the position. Um going to Stamford had
23:52
Speaker 1: some injuries that kind of only I think it limited
23:54
Speaker 1: to maybe a loving game where he started Stanford. But
23:57
Speaker 1: he's a very talented player, uh Disco because he started
24:00
Speaker 1: some games and Tyrod Taylor came back, and then he
24:03
Speaker 1: came back last week. He had to really solid performance
24:05
Speaker 1: over three hundred yards at one touchdown. Um did a
24:08
Speaker 1: really good job again into the playmakers. They do have
24:11
Speaker 1: some playmakers on the perimeter. When you think about Revind
24:13
Speaker 1: Jordan and Nico Collins and then Brandon Coakes until this
24:16
Speaker 1: is not a walkover. This is a game where the
24:18
Speaker 1: Jaguars need to hit him and change the time in
24:21
Speaker 1: the rhythm of the baths game and make the young
24:23
Speaker 1: guy kind of see um bodies in the space. So
24:27
Speaker 1: he had to sol around those and maybe some of
24:28
Speaker 1: the turnover there we haven't been able to get. Maybe
24:31
Speaker 1: able to get those this weekend. We've got some issues
24:34
Speaker 1: in the running back room. Rex Burkehead is not going
24:36
Speaker 1: to play this week. They've got some changes. They haven't
24:39
Speaker 1: been able to run the ball no matter who's back
24:41
Speaker 1: there this season. Defensively, John, who the heck are these guys?
24:46
Speaker 1: They are totally different from the Texans of the years past.
24:50
Speaker 1: Obviously with all these new faces and guys have moved
24:52
Speaker 1: on or been cut or waved or traded or whatever
24:55
Speaker 1: the case may be, it's not the same. They haven't
24:57
Speaker 1: able to stop the run, and they start really moved
25:00
Speaker 1: on from players. It feels like, you know the definition
25:04
Speaker 1: of a complete rebuild. Uh, you know, I haven't, I Frank,
25:09
Speaker 1: I haven't spent a lot of time studying the Texans
25:10
Speaker 1: this week Jaguars, and but I know that they are not. Uh,
25:17
Speaker 1: They're the same defense conceptually, meaning they are going to
25:21
Speaker 1: try to play at all costs with Ben but don't break,
25:24
Speaker 1: which means they give up a lot of yards. But
25:27
Speaker 1: they also faced the ball because they played the zone.
25:29
Speaker 1: But I mean four three Tampa two. So they're gonna
25:34
Speaker 1: play zone. They're gonna try to force turnovers. When they've
25:37
Speaker 1: been good, they have forced turnovers and that's because a
25:40
Speaker 1: love Smith's approach giving up points. But there have been
25:46
Speaker 1: times they have been able to get significant number of
25:49
Speaker 1: takeaways that to me would be what would scare me
25:51
Speaker 1: if I'm the Jaguars this week? Yeah, they's here because
25:55
Speaker 1: what they want to do is they want to play
25:56
Speaker 1: with their eyes on the quarterbacks and trouble our struggle
25:59
Speaker 1: the first match of that because they played his eyes,
26:01
Speaker 1: they read his nail. They were able to kind of
26:02
Speaker 1: get some pigs because they were able to kind of
26:04
Speaker 1: get early breaks on throws. And so Trevor has to
26:06
Speaker 1: be better with his I management. Looking one way of
26:10
Speaker 1: coming back to the other, he has to be better
26:12
Speaker 1: in terms of being more precise because a zone defense
26:15
Speaker 1: like that, they kind of seased off tips and over
26:17
Speaker 1: to Oist for interceptions, and so it's about being very efficient,
26:20
Speaker 1: very decisively. More importantly, being accurate with the ball. He's
26:23
Speaker 1: accurate with the ball, he won't have any issue when
26:26
Speaker 1: we return our final thoughts ahead of this week fifteen
26:29
Speaker 1: matchup the Jaguars and the Houston Texans coming up at
26:32
Speaker 1: t I A. Bank Field, and this is Huddle Up
26:34
Speaker 1: with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network Final Moments
26:45
Speaker 1: Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks, j P Shadrick, John Osier
26:48
Speaker 1: along as well, and the Jaguars get the Houston Texans
26:51
Speaker 1: this Sunday at t I A A. Bank Field. The
26:53
Speaker 1: Jags have dropped five straight for the second time this season.
26:57
Speaker 1: The Jags have also lost the last seven meeting is
27:00
Speaker 1: with the Texans and eighteen of the last So that's
27:05
Speaker 1: not good. I gotta at some point cut all that out.
27:10
Speaker 1: But hey, battle of two and eleven teams, Bucky, what's
27:12
Speaker 1: your feeling on this one? Well, the filling is. I mean,
27:16
Speaker 1: it should be a very easily contested game. And this
27:19
Speaker 1: is one where um jagrats have to kind of stick
27:22
Speaker 1: to the formula. The formulas for James Robinson will be
27:25
Speaker 1: a big part of the game plan. They got a
27:27
Speaker 1: rumba football. They gotta find a way to get the
27:28
Speaker 1: ball to the lilimeter to the playmakers and hope that
27:30
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence he can get back on track. And if
27:33
Speaker 1: they do that, and then the defense just shows up
27:35
Speaker 1: and get the same kind of effort in that they
27:37
Speaker 1: played with against the Titans. This should be a game
27:40
Speaker 1: that Jack was winning. This is one that I expected
27:42
Speaker 1: to win. Um look their own when they should split.
27:44
Speaker 1: They can't. They can't get swept on No. Uh, it
27:48
Speaker 1: can always get worse, and that would be the way
27:50
Speaker 1: it could get worse. John, Yeah, you don't want to
27:53
Speaker 1: lose to this team at home. Uh, but you need
27:56
Speaker 1: to score some points to do that. This is a
27:59
Speaker 1: team I said, or you feel like you ought to
28:01
Speaker 1: be able to run on this team. You feel like
28:02
Speaker 1: you ought to be able to score points on this team.
28:04
Speaker 1: But they scored nine points a game over the last
28:06
Speaker 1: five games. So it's uh, it's face, there's nothing about
28:11
Speaker 1: this team right now that makes you think they're going
28:12
Speaker 1: to go out and blow somebody out. So, uh, I
28:16
Speaker 1: need to play well. They need to score I do.
28:18
Speaker 1: I think they can do it. They can do I
28:20
Speaker 1: think they will. I have no idea. Yeah, I mean
28:26
Speaker 1: always always well, I mean they've okay, tell me like,
28:39
Speaker 1: I feel like you've been You've been down there long
28:42
Speaker 1: than I've been back with the team. We happened to
28:44
Speaker 1: the guy that used to end the podcast, like, you
28:49
Speaker 1: know what happened. I fly believe their defense this week
28:54
Speaker 1: will play well. I believe it will be a game
28:56
Speaker 1: in the teens. And I guess after scoring points a
29:00
Speaker 1: game for seven straight games, I need to see evidence
29:03
Speaker 1: they can get into the teams. Yeah, air it out
29:09
Speaker 1: right now, air it out. Johnny wants to air it out.
29:12
Speaker 1: I think we all do. Bucky, Uh, safe travels. We'll
29:15
Speaker 1: talk to you a little later this week. Man. Enjoy
29:18
Speaker 1: it all right, Man, you got that. Bucky Brooks Out
