- 0:39Speaker 1: Broncos and the Jaguars a battle of two and five
- 0:41Speaker 1: teams under the arch at Wimbley. We heard from Doug
- 0:44Speaker 1: Peterson today, the Jaguars head coach, Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars quarterbacks
- 0:48Speaker 1: vote Travis E. T N spoke just moments ago, and
- 0:51Speaker 1: the Jaguars locker room after the trade of James Robinson
- 0:55Speaker 1: to the New York Jets, got a couple of social
- 0:57Speaker 1: media questions today as well. The Broncos Jaguars game at
- 1:01Speaker 1: Wimbley is brought to you by f I S, Principal
- 1:03Speaker 1: Partner of Jaguars UK f I S advancing the way
- 1:07Speaker 1: the world pays, banks and invests. Let's get to the
- 1:10Speaker 1: head coach to begin things today. Doug Peterson on the
- 1:13Speaker 1: trade of James Robinson. I got a lot of respects
- 1:17Speaker 1: for games and what he's done and what he's done
- 1:19Speaker 1: for me and the organization, and obviously wish him well.
- 1:23Speaker 1: It's a great opportunity for him. You know. Obviously the Jets,
- 1:25Speaker 1: as we know, lost a running back and and so
- 1:28Speaker 1: it's honestly, it's the nature, it's the nature of our business.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Teams begin to search and and we got a call
- 1:34Speaker 1: on him and and and um, you know, made the
- 1:37Speaker 1: made the decision to move on. That's the head coach
- 1:40Speaker 1: earlier today, Bucky Brooks from l A joining us John
- 1:43Speaker 1: Osier here in Jacksonville. And there you go. Trade deadline
- 1:47Speaker 1: a couple of weeks out. But the Jaguars make a move.
- 1:50Speaker 1: The Jets had a need the Jaguars running back room
- 1:52Speaker 1: at least Travis E. T N is very hot right now.
- 1:55Speaker 1: So they got a draft pick for him and it's conditional. Bucky,
- 1:59Speaker 1: how are you. What's up man, I'm good, I'm good. Yeah.
- 2:02Speaker 1: The deal was a little surprising based on UH the
- 2:05Speaker 1: information we had coming out of the game on Sunday
- 2:08Speaker 1: about James Robinson maybe being deemed up and those things.
- 2:11Speaker 1: Breece haw gets hurt. UH creates an opportunity for the
- 2:14Speaker 1: Jets UH to need a running back. James Robinson is
- 2:17Speaker 1: one of the best on the board when it comes
- 2:19Speaker 1: to availability, so they bring him in. I think for
- 2:21Speaker 1: the Jaguars what it was is the last couple of
- 2:24Speaker 1: weeks we've seen Travis hit Ten is the number one
- 2:26Speaker 1: back and he had really been gobbling up all the
- 2:29Speaker 1: carries and touches, and then Jamachael Hasty was being beginning
- 2:32Speaker 1: to play, and so James Robinson ended up being the
- 2:34Speaker 1: odd man out. And despite his contributions early in his career,
- 2:39Speaker 1: I think what you're seeing in this offense, Doug Peterson
- 2:42Speaker 1: and those guys want more, more juice, more pop, more explosiveness.
- 2:46Speaker 1: And there was a role for James Robinson, but I
- 2:49Speaker 1: don't think that was a role that made him indispensable,
- 2:52Speaker 1: and so we saw him traded away. You get a
- 2:54Speaker 1: conditional pick and you move forward. Yeah, Doug's a pro.
- 2:57Speaker 1: So when he's asked today about speed being a factor,
- 3:02Speaker 1: he's not going to over emphasize that. And he said
- 3:04Speaker 1: that really wasn't a factor. Yeah, I think it was
- 3:07Speaker 1: a factor. I mean it's James Robinson is a very
- 3:11Speaker 1: good player. He's a certain kind of back who needs
- 3:14Speaker 1: a lot of carries. Uh. Travis c t n is
- 3:17Speaker 1: averaging six point to carry this season. In the last
- 3:24Speaker 1: three games, he's had two yards rushing on twenty four carries.
- 3:30Speaker 1: That's over eight yards to carry. Uh. I think it
- 3:34Speaker 1: came down to trade deadlines coming up. You get an
- 3:37Speaker 1: opportunity to get some equity for James Robinson. And realistically,
- 3:42Speaker 1: Doug's looking at that a situation saying, Travis c t
- 3:46Speaker 1: n is the one home run impact guy on this offense.
- 3:51Speaker 1: How can I possibly not have him in the game
- 3:54Speaker 1: as much as possible If you're going to him on
- 3:56Speaker 1: the sidelines saying, hey, Doug, we need to take Travis
- 3:58Speaker 1: out of the game right now. He's gonnaok at new
- 4:00Speaker 1: A Why you know so? I think when he came
- 4:03Speaker 1: down to that, it just made sense to go ahead
- 4:04Speaker 1: and make the move. Um doesn't mean fans shouldn't be
- 4:09Speaker 1: upset to see a player that they love go. But
- 4:13Speaker 1: that's the fans job. The team's job is to maximize
- 4:19Speaker 1: resources and to get this kid that you're watching right
- 4:21Speaker 1: now in the field as much as possible, because he's
- 4:23Speaker 1: turning into so much better than I thought he was
- 4:25Speaker 1: gonna be. Uh special, Yeah, special player, Bucky. He just
- 4:30Speaker 1: told me in the locker room though, that you know,
- 4:33Speaker 1: the one thing he's really trying to work on it
- 4:35Speaker 1: will will certainly after now is his stamina and trying
- 4:38Speaker 1: to stay out there after a long run, stay on
- 4:40Speaker 1: the field, keep churning it going. He said. James Robinson
- 4:43Speaker 1: was that guy that could he have kind of fill
- 4:47Speaker 1: some holes in his game if he's not able to
- 4:49Speaker 1: grind out a few yards and get a breather, well,
- 4:51Speaker 1: James was that guy that could come in. So Travis
- 4:54Speaker 1: is just continuing to grow. Buck He's gonna have to. Yeah,
- 4:57Speaker 1: it's continued to grow, But it doesn't necessarily mean he's
- 4:59Speaker 1: gonna have to stay out the and and add to
- 5:01Speaker 1: his workload. It just means that the rotation has to
- 5:03Speaker 1: become deeper, and so Snoop Connor has to step up
- 5:06Speaker 1: and be ready to play. And so he's at an
- 5:08Speaker 1: opportunity to have a bit of a red shirt season
- 5:10Speaker 1: thus far, but now he has to step up and
- 5:12Speaker 1: kind of jump into the rotation. Jamachael Hasty will see
- 5:15Speaker 1: his role expand. Uh. If anything, Remember, he's had some
- 5:18Speaker 1: explosive plays that have certainly caught the eye and the
- 5:22Speaker 1: attention of the coaching staff, So you want to give
- 5:23Speaker 1: him opportunities to make plays as well as well. This
- 5:27Speaker 1: is an offense that wants to and needs to score
- 5:29Speaker 1: more points, and the only way you can do that
- 5:32Speaker 1: is by putting the guys who are point scores on
- 5:34Speaker 1: the field. Travis E Ten is one. Jamachael Hasty looks
- 5:37Speaker 1: like he might be another Bucky Is this? Uh? I
- 5:41Speaker 1: mention know that it's it's surprising to me that Travis
- 5:44Speaker 1: is doing. Is he he's a different kind of runner
- 5:47Speaker 1: than I thought. I mean, I like the explosives, but
- 5:49Speaker 1: he's also really tough when he's getting tackled. I know
- 5:53Speaker 1: he's gotta hold the ball better. That's obvious. Uh. I
- 5:56Speaker 1: guess two questions for the scout or it is more
- 5:58Speaker 1: of a question for the draft an okay, Um, did
- 6:02Speaker 1: you expect this kind of impact? Um? And where does
- 6:08Speaker 1: he rank in terms of backs who can scare you
- 6:12Speaker 1: right now. I he's getting up there, isn't he? In
- 6:16Speaker 1: terms of in the league, the guys who were threat
- 6:19Speaker 1: on every place, this is sort of rare. Yeah, it
- 6:22Speaker 1: is rare. Um and the number one thing that defensive
- 6:24Speaker 1: coordinators UH look at when they when they're looking at
- 6:27Speaker 1: the table, they're looking at the guys who are the
- 6:28Speaker 1: most explosive, the guys who are the dangerous players, the
- 6:31Speaker 1: guys who can score from anywhere on the field. Where
- 6:34Speaker 1: Travis Atienne is flashing that kind of big playability, someone
- 6:37Speaker 1: that you gotta keep account of. You need to make
- 6:39Speaker 1: sure you understand his whereabouts at at all times, and
- 6:44Speaker 1: you have to do a good job of tackling and
- 6:45Speaker 1: making sure that he doesn't get room in space. I
- 6:48Speaker 1: would say that this is very similar to what you
- 6:50Speaker 1: saw at Clemson. He was a big play maker. I
- 6:53Speaker 1: want to say, at Clemson maybe has seventy eight testdowns
- 6:55Speaker 1: uh school record, consistently found a way to pay her well.
- 6:59Speaker 1: Now he's game to show some of those skills with
- 7:03Speaker 1: the Jaguars, and so as he continues to grow into
- 7:06Speaker 1: his role as a big play maker, you want to
- 7:08Speaker 1: give him more opportunities. The part of his game where
- 7:11Speaker 1: he needs to expand. He needs to be more active
- 7:15Speaker 1: in the passing game, meaning if he can become a
- 7:18Speaker 1: legitimate threat in the passing game or wide receiver to
- 7:21Speaker 1: the level of Alvin Kamar, to the level of a
- 7:23Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, well that's when it gets really really fun
- 7:26Speaker 1: because now you can do different things where you can
- 7:28Speaker 1: get him his touches, but he may not have to
- 7:30Speaker 1: go against all eleven of the defense in terms of
- 7:34Speaker 1: being able to run it between the tackles. You can
- 7:36Speaker 1: get him in space and have some one on one matchup,
- 7:38Speaker 1: some one on two matchups where you believe that his
- 7:41Speaker 1: wiggle is going to enable him to turn a short
- 7:43Speaker 1: pass into a big game and maybe JP he's just
- 7:46Speaker 1: so good that he would fit anywhere. But it really
- 7:48Speaker 1: strikes you that this is one where they were sort
- 7:50Speaker 1: of fortunate drafted him last year, didn't really know what
- 7:54Speaker 1: he was going to be because of the the foot injury.
- 7:58Speaker 1: Boy does he it with what Doug Peterson likes to do.
- 8:03Speaker 1: I don't know that he would be your ideal back.
- 8:06Speaker 1: If Doug was a turnaround hand the ball off to
- 8:09Speaker 1: the running back times, he would still be good. But
- 8:14Speaker 1: I don't know that he would be just a great
- 8:16Speaker 1: fit for this offense. Ideally, I think he'd like to
- 8:18Speaker 1: have him running fourteen eighteen times a game. I think
- 8:21Speaker 1: that's sort of what Doug would like to out of
- 8:23Speaker 1: a running back. Just really fits what they do. Yeah,
- 8:28Speaker 1: I think John, you're you're onto something like he is that.
- 8:32Speaker 1: I don't know if Doug every envisions of running back
- 8:34Speaker 1: man the twenty plus carry guy, but I think, uh,
- 8:37Speaker 1: fourteen to eighteen is really the sweet spot, and that
- 8:39Speaker 1: fourteen the eight team might be touches, not just carries,
- 8:42Speaker 1: you know, twelve carries, six seven receptions of the backfield
- 8:46Speaker 1: and screens and swings and checkdowns. That might be enough
- 8:49Speaker 1: to push him over the hundred scrimmage yard mark, which
- 8:52Speaker 1: is significant because we've seen Travis it and begin to
- 8:55Speaker 1: do that, and when he is kind of churning at
- 8:58Speaker 1: that level, it opens up the rest of the feel
- 9:00Speaker 1: for the playmakers on the perimeter. And so as he
- 9:03Speaker 1: settles in and remember like we six or seven games
- 9:05Speaker 1: into it, as he settles into his role as the
- 9:07Speaker 1: number one, it to create opportunities for others, as more
- 9:10Speaker 1: attention is placed to him, as maybe the Jaguars Premier playmaker.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Guess what JP when your average and eight yards to carry?
- 9:17Speaker 1: If you get eighteen or nineteen, Cary, that's okay up.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Pretty good day at the office. This is untle up
- 9:25Speaker 1: with Bucky Brooks, JP, Shaddrick John Osan along with Bucky
- 9:28Speaker 1: and the other big news this afternoon. The Jaguars have
- 9:31Speaker 1: placed Shaquille Griffin, the cornerback, on injured reserve with a
- 9:34Speaker 1: back issue. Will have to miss four weeks. Bucky Well,
- 9:38Speaker 1: he pomped on the injury reports the week after the
- 9:42Speaker 1: Indie game. He was held out last week unavailable to play,
- 9:47Speaker 1: and he'll be held out for at least four weeks.
- 9:49Speaker 1: So those changes that you saw last week in the
- 9:52Speaker 1: cornerback room will have to move a few weeks forward
- 9:54Speaker 1: as well. Buck, Yeah, they'd moved a few weeks forward.
- 9:58Speaker 1: And this will be an evaluation opportunity me and all
- 10:00Speaker 1: on honesty, This will get the jag Wards an opportunity
- 10:03Speaker 1: to see what their defense looks like without Shaquille Griffin.
- 10:06Speaker 1: When you look at uh the young players that are
- 10:09Speaker 1: having to play, and you think about Darius we're just
- 10:11Speaker 1: playing and trade her into being able to start on
- 10:13Speaker 1: the outside and Tyson Campbell playing. What does that combination
- 10:17Speaker 1: look like, what does that combination enable to coaches to
- 10:20Speaker 1: do when it comes to playing more man or more zone,
- 10:22Speaker 1: or how does it change what they want to do
- 10:25Speaker 1: upfront because the coverage has to match the front. So yeah,
- 10:28Speaker 1: this is a four week I guess audition for the
- 10:31Speaker 1: new crew to see if they can I want to say,
- 10:34Speaker 1: move on from Shaquille Griffin, but maybe minimize his role
- 10:37Speaker 1: and elevate some of these other guys in the more
- 10:39Speaker 1: prominent roles. Yeah, it feels to me like this is
- 10:42Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think Shackson be here next year
- 10:44Speaker 1: because of the cap number. Anyway, you get back in
- 10:47Speaker 1: four weeks and now you're at what JP, I'm not
- 10:49Speaker 1: very good at man be what we got? Yeah? Uh so,
- 10:53Speaker 1: now you got five games left in the season. I
- 10:57Speaker 1: guess he's back in the lineup at that point, I'm
- 10:59Speaker 1: not sure. Um So, I guess my question to Bucky
- 11:04Speaker 1: would be, I'm not trying to diminished shack at that point,
- 11:08Speaker 1: but I just don't know where that's gonna go at
- 11:10Speaker 1: that point. Uh. How did Trey Hernton play last week?
- 11:15Speaker 1: In terms of to me, a major issue for this
- 11:19Speaker 1: defense right now? Not being able to cover that short
- 11:24Speaker 1: pass has taken away any chance of him getting the
- 11:28Speaker 1: quarterback because teams are able to get rid of the
- 11:30Speaker 1: ball so quick. It's really affected the pass rush. Can
- 11:33Speaker 1: Tray help on that front? How good did he play?
- 11:36Speaker 1: Can he be a guy who can maybe help them
- 11:38Speaker 1: take away that crosser that that element of what teams
- 11:41Speaker 1: are doing against him is really hurting him right now? Yeah,
- 11:45Speaker 1: I mean, Tray Hunting played fine the other night. He
- 11:46Speaker 1: gave up a big one over the top. And he
- 11:48Speaker 1: has some speed deficiencies that show up and and and
- 11:52Speaker 1: so it might be tough if you want to live
- 11:54Speaker 1: on the island where you want to press a lot
- 11:56Speaker 1: and kind of put him in these one on one
- 11:58Speaker 1: matchups on the perimeter. But you know, it all comes
- 12:01Speaker 1: down to, like his technique and how solid can he
- 12:03Speaker 1: be at the line of scrimments where he wins early
- 12:05Speaker 1: as opposed to having to maybe win late. Yeah, but
- 12:08Speaker 1: this is an opportunity for him to play more. This
- 12:10Speaker 1: opportunity for some of these other young guys to play more.
- 12:13Speaker 1: You know, I think Brown would have an opportunity to
- 12:15Speaker 1: kind of get into rotation and make it he proves
- 12:17Speaker 1: to be dependable and reliable on the practice field. Uh,
- 12:20Speaker 1: you'll you'll see some of these other players, uh come up.
- 12:24Speaker 1: And I wouldn't kind of underestimate the Jaguars maybe being
- 12:28Speaker 1: active either on the waiver wire on the trade market
- 12:31Speaker 1: as that comes because the cornerback position has been a
- 12:34Speaker 1: sore spot because without type coverage, you can't really blitz
- 12:37Speaker 1: and attack the quarterback the way that you want. I
- 12:40Speaker 1: just wonder how long before the frustration from the coaches
- 12:44Speaker 1: their inability to play the way that they want to
- 12:46Speaker 1: play leads them to make a move and try and
- 12:48Speaker 1: find someone or a couple of guys that can kind
- 12:51Speaker 1: of help them short up the coverage in the back end. Yeah,
- 12:55Speaker 1: people get I mean, I think it's the major issue
- 12:59Speaker 1: facing the d fense right now. It's uh to me,
- 13:04Speaker 1: I don't think it's a great pass rushing team, but
- 13:07Speaker 1: I don't think it's a two sack and three game
- 13:10Speaker 1: team like it has been the last two or three games.
- 13:13Speaker 1: If if the coverage was better on the on the
- 13:18Speaker 1: short routes. So I think it's it's dictating the way
- 13:21Speaker 1: they play defense right now, and it's why you've gone
- 13:24Speaker 1: from nine takeaways too in the first four games to zero.
- 13:28Speaker 1: Now it's it's not all that. I think all those
- 13:30Speaker 1: things tied together, and it's a major issue for this defense.
- 13:33Speaker 1: I gotta figure it out all that JP real quick.
- 13:37Speaker 1: This is another thing that as we talked about the
- 13:39Speaker 1: Domino's falling, this is why when you miss on your
- 13:42Speaker 1: draft pick C. J. Henderson and you move on from him,
- 13:44Speaker 1: this is how it impacts you down the line, because
- 13:47Speaker 1: that expectation would be that he was going to be
- 13:50Speaker 1: the player that would be the lockdown corner that will
- 13:53Speaker 1: be able to handle some of this stuff or whatever.
- 13:55Speaker 1: And even though there have been moves made certainly after
- 13:58Speaker 1: he was traded away, but that where the whole in
- 14:01Speaker 1: the draft kind of hurts you two or three years
- 14:03Speaker 1: down the line. Now you don't have the premier corner
- 14:06Speaker 1: that you were hoping for, and so you have to
- 14:08Speaker 1: go and draft it or overpaid to try and find
- 14:11Speaker 1: one on the free agent market and go back another Yeah,
- 14:14Speaker 1: and thirty three overall, the Tyson Campbell just be okay,
- 14:17Speaker 1: a corner now with a free agent Nickel, all that
- 14:22Speaker 1: adds up, Yeah, and then go back another generation. You
- 14:26Speaker 1: can even say that about Jalen when he was gone
- 14:29Speaker 1: out of here. You had to go get c J.
- 14:30Speaker 1: I mean that's that that Domino started the whole thing.
- 14:34Speaker 1: And look where the Jags are right now. Um, there
- 14:36Speaker 1: you have it. Those are the big two stories so
- 14:38Speaker 1: far this week. The trade of Gene Prombinton and then
- 14:41Speaker 1: check Griffin two injured reserve. We're back in a moment.
- 14:44Speaker 1: We'll get into this game at Wimbley. Coming up Sunday,
- 14:47Speaker 1: the Battle of two and five Teams built teams have
- 14:49Speaker 1: dropped board in a row, the Denver Broncos and the
- 14:51Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars coming up. Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks is
- 14:55Speaker 1: brought to you by Fields Auto Group, Jacksonville. Step up
- 14:58Speaker 1: to Luxury Fields Auto cob This is Huddle Up with
- 15:02Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network. There's a ton
- 15:12Speaker 1: of film with with Russell and now there's a game
- 15:14Speaker 1: with with the backup with Griffin and um, you know,
- 15:18Speaker 1: we just we just go we just go about it
- 15:20Speaker 1: as business as usual. We understand both, you know, Um,
- 15:23Speaker 1: we understand what Russell brings to that team. And he
- 15:26Speaker 1: also has ability to run and use his legs and
- 15:28Speaker 1: he's I've played against him or coached against him many
- 15:31Speaker 1: times and and he can beat you doing that, and um,
- 15:35Speaker 1: you know, and so it just has to it has
- 15:38Speaker 1: to be a you know kind of the every hand
- 15:42Speaker 1: on deck so to speak to to exhaust the film, understand,
- 15:45Speaker 1: you know, kind of what they do, what our defense
- 15:47Speaker 1: is getting into, and be uh be prepared for both. Oh,
- 15:50Speaker 1: the ham string watch of the Denver quarterback continues. Welcome back,
- 15:54Speaker 1: its huddle up with Bucky Brooks, j P Shadrick John
- 15:57Speaker 1: Oser here and Jacksonville. Bucky is out in Los Angeles, US,
- 16:00Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos and the Jacksonville Jaguars coming up from Wembley.
- 16:04Speaker 1: And Russell Wilson was talking with the media in the
- 16:08Speaker 1: UK once they arrived. They left Monday night, arrived Tuesday,
- 16:12Speaker 1: they spoke today they practiced and said that basically he
- 16:17Speaker 1: watched some film on the plane. He spent a few
- 16:20Speaker 1: hours doing some workout on the plane somehow doing high
- 16:24Speaker 1: knees while other people were sleeping and trying to get
- 16:27Speaker 1: the hamstring right. All this and last week a couple
- 16:30Speaker 1: of weeks ago was Wolverine Blood. All this stuff going
- 16:33Speaker 1: on with Russell Wilson. You know, is he gonna play Bucky?
- 16:38Speaker 1: What do you think I would I would expect him
- 16:41Speaker 1: to play, And I don't know if that's necessarily a
- 16:44Speaker 1: bad thing for the Jaguars, because Russell hasn't played very well. Um,
- 16:48Speaker 1: he will be limited from a mobility standpoint, and he's
- 16:51Speaker 1: not the same player that he wants. He's not the
- 16:53Speaker 1: player that came a few years ago to the bank
- 16:56Speaker 1: with the Seahawks and was running around and making plays.
- 16:58Speaker 1: He's an older player, and I I would say he's a
- 17:00Speaker 1: declining player. That's it. He still can make enough plays
- 17:03Speaker 1: with this offense, but points on the board, they just
- 17:06Speaker 1: haven't found a rhythm. And so maybe with the week
- 17:08Speaker 1: off and him have an opportunity to continue to dig
- 17:10Speaker 1: deeper into the playbook, you'll understand the nuances of the thing,
- 17:15Speaker 1: the Hackings scheme. But right now, this is a quarterback
- 17:18Speaker 1: that if I'm the jaguards man, you want to get
- 17:19Speaker 1: after him because he doesn't play his best when he's
- 17:23Speaker 1: forced to throw on time and within the confines of
- 17:26Speaker 1: the offense, and he no longer has the athleticism to
- 17:29Speaker 1: really torch you like he used to when he was
- 17:31Speaker 1: making plays outside of the pocket. Yeah, it's it's the
- 17:34Speaker 1: old thing, the mobile quarterback. When that's taken away, then
- 17:39Speaker 1: they have to become a stationary quarterback that can beat
- 17:41Speaker 1: you with the arm, and I've seen him do that,
- 17:44Speaker 1: but that's not really what he's always been great at.
- 17:47Speaker 1: His greatness has been the escapability and adding that element
- 17:52Speaker 1: to a good pocket pastor. So, um, yeah, they're the
- 17:56Speaker 1: lowest scoring team in the league. The problem is the
- 18:00Speaker 1: Jaguars have shown a knack for the the last couple
- 18:04Speaker 1: of weeks. We're giving up points no matter what the
- 18:08Speaker 1: state of the other offense. So it's a big test
- 18:11Speaker 1: for the Jags because you do not want the Broncos
- 18:14Speaker 1: to come out and score twenty eight on you, because
- 18:17Speaker 1: that's gonna look bad JP. I mean, I'm you know,
- 18:20Speaker 1: it's not great analysis, but that's a big deal with
- 18:23Speaker 1: it right now. You would think if the Jaguars can
- 18:25Speaker 1: get to twenty four, you go win. But yeah, Russell
- 18:31Speaker 1: Wilson is certainly good enough that if you can't cover
- 18:34Speaker 1: short passes that that can beat you. So I don't
- 18:38Speaker 1: know that they have a matchup advantage against anybody right
- 18:40Speaker 1: now the way they've been playing. So another part of
- 18:42Speaker 1: this situation, Bucky, is you know they're a beat up team,
- 18:45Speaker 1: not just at the quarterback position. They've had tackle issues
- 18:48Speaker 1: up front. I think they're on their third left tackle
- 18:51Speaker 1: of the season. The running backs room has been beat up.
- 18:54Speaker 1: Javonte Williams has been out, Mike Boone's on injured reserve.
- 18:57Speaker 1: Now they've got three of I think that's probably the
- 19:00Speaker 1: most veteran running back room in the NFL right now.
- 19:02Speaker 1: With Murray and Gordon and Marlon Mack brought up from
- 19:05Speaker 1: the San Francisco practice squad, and you know receivers who
- 19:09Speaker 1: are having some catch issues. This is it's a beat
- 19:12Speaker 1: up team right now. Yeah, beat up team, a team
- 19:15Speaker 1: just kind of limping in, still hoping that they can
- 19:18Speaker 1: catch fire, because that was the expectation that that was
- 19:20Speaker 1: going to be a Super Bowl contending team. Hasn't played out.
- 19:23Speaker 1: And for Russell Wilson, his struggles we we've talked about,
- 19:27Speaker 1: but it's the rest of the team that hasn't necessarily
- 19:29Speaker 1: performed up to par. They lost Javante Williams to a
- 19:32Speaker 1: season in a knee injury, Melvin Gordon has had the
- 19:35Speaker 1: fumble issues, and so they're trying to figure out who
- 19:38Speaker 1: they can rely on to anchor this attack. And then
- 19:40Speaker 1: on the outside, they have a bunch of intriguing young players,
- 19:44Speaker 1: guys that you're excited about what their upside could be,
- 19:47Speaker 1: Um Courtless, Suddon, Jerry Judy, kJ Hamdler. But those guys
- 19:51Speaker 1: haven't played at a level and they're not on the
- 19:53Speaker 1: same page with Russell Wilson. So if you're the Jaguars,
- 19:56Speaker 1: you want to take advantage of a team that is
- 19:58Speaker 1: really struggling to find their identity. Don't give them any life.
- 20:02Speaker 1: Attacked him from the jump, and let's see if the
- 20:05Speaker 1: aging Russell Wilson can make a handful of players to
- 20:07Speaker 1: win the game. If the other worry is uh, you
- 20:11Speaker 1: know I mentioned the Jaguars getting to twenty four points group. Yeah,
- 20:16Speaker 1: but I think they can. I mean, I said on
- 20:19Speaker 1: on multiple shows this week. The Jaguars offense, to me
- 20:22Speaker 1: is the thing that gives me great hope that they're
- 20:27Speaker 1: going to get this thing turned around and get going
- 20:28Speaker 1: over the next few years. Because there ranked seventh in
- 20:31Speaker 1: the league right now. I keep using this set every
- 20:35Speaker 1: game this year, They've had at least three drives over
- 20:38Speaker 1: sixty yards. They had six drivers over sixty yards the
- 20:41Speaker 1: other day. This offense is moving consistently without what I
- 20:44Speaker 1: would consider a great elite level skill player outside maybe
- 20:49Speaker 1: Travis e t N. They're good, but there's no great
- 20:52Speaker 1: guy right now, and they're still moving the ball. So
- 20:55Speaker 1: I think this offense is gonna get going and then
- 20:56Speaker 1: be really good over the next few years. But this
- 20:59Speaker 1: defense is the best they played yet. Yeah, Denver is
- 21:02Speaker 1: third in the league and scoring defense right up there
- 21:04Speaker 1: at the top, second in the league in total defense
- 21:07Speaker 1: by yardage, bucky all the status you could throw at you.
- 21:10Speaker 1: Their best in the red zone in the NFL. I mean,
- 21:14Speaker 1: they get after it and they've got a good pass rush,
- 21:17Speaker 1: even though they've had some guys banged up in in
- 21:19Speaker 1: that area as well. They've got a good secondary. Even
- 21:22Speaker 1: though Ronald Darby's out, They've still got players, and they
- 21:25Speaker 1: bring it every week on defense. Yeah, they bring it
- 21:29Speaker 1: every week on defense. And uh, they've done a really
- 21:32Speaker 1: good job of kind of putting it together. The system
- 21:34Speaker 1: is really solid, the playmakers they have, and the trenches
- 21:36Speaker 1: are good. Bradley Chubb, You've already talked about uh being
- 21:40Speaker 1: a problem off the edge. Um, this secondary is lights out.
- 21:45Speaker 1: Pastor Tan Justin Simmons, those guys can can can lock
- 21:48Speaker 1: it down and play. To me, this is a situation
- 21:51Speaker 1: where somebody has to come in the room and say,
- 21:53Speaker 1: a man, somebody has to wear the big umbrero, and
- 21:55Speaker 1: the big sumbrea is on the offense side of the ball,
- 21:58Speaker 1: and it might be the offensive line because of the
- 22:00Speaker 1: offensive line is able to control the point of attack
- 22:02Speaker 1: and they can run the football the way that they
- 22:04Speaker 1: may need to running and protect Trevor Lawrence. So we
- 22:07Speaker 1: can throw some of those balls to the perimeter without
- 22:10Speaker 1: being under rest as Jaguars can attack them. But it
- 22:13Speaker 1: is a matchup really between the Jaguars offense and defense
- 22:16Speaker 1: to shoot, command and dominate most of the conversation. Yeah,
- 22:21Speaker 1: I mean, now the Broncos even beyond the stats and
- 22:23Speaker 1: those are absolutely dead on JP. They passed the eye test.
- 22:28Speaker 1: I mean there when you watch them play, they're fast.
- 22:33Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, I was gonna bucky about this, said their
- 22:36Speaker 1: interior defensive line, and the Jackeys have played some good
- 22:40Speaker 1: interior defensive lineman and defensive defensive areas. But he said
- 22:44Speaker 1: it might be the best they faced so far this year.
- 22:46Speaker 1: That's pretty high praise because Washington is good. Giants are
- 22:50Speaker 1: good with your guy who you know, you apparently go
- 22:52Speaker 1: back with millions of years. But I mean they this
- 22:57Speaker 1: is a good interior, Bucky, I got you now. I
- 23:02Speaker 1: thought you'd appreciate it. Look, I dialed it back from
- 23:04Speaker 1: last week because last week I had plenty of energy.
- 23:07Speaker 1: I was I was double caffeinated, and uh, it didn't
- 23:10Speaker 1: turn out in our favor even though we played okay.
- 23:12Speaker 1: So this week I'm trying to take a more subdued approach,
- 23:15Speaker 1: a more business like approach, like, Hey, we're on a
- 23:17Speaker 1: business trip on the London. We gonna take care business
- 23:19Speaker 1: against Russell Wilson to those guys and we'll see what
- 23:21Speaker 1: it turns out to be now. But you're you're right
- 23:24Speaker 1: when we talk about the entier of this line. DJ Jones,
- 23:27Speaker 1: Deshaun Williams, uh Draymond Jones on the inside not household names,
- 23:31Speaker 1: but man, they can clog it up. They're really physical
- 23:34Speaker 1: at the point of attack. And then when you have
- 23:36Speaker 1: Bradley Chubb on the outside he rex shop and brings
- 23:40Speaker 1: the noise, that's it. They still can be got. But
- 23:44Speaker 1: the Jaguars have to make sure that they take their
- 23:46Speaker 1: time and they protect and make sure that those guys
- 23:49Speaker 1: don't have a big game running up the field getting
- 23:51Speaker 1: after the quarterback, because there's still some vulnerable areas of
- 23:55Speaker 1: this team on the perimeter and particularly in the secondary.
- 23:58Speaker 1: Pastor Chan is great. I'll talk about Justin Simmons. But
- 24:02Speaker 1: there's some guys came on Williams, Damari mathis Uh that
- 24:06Speaker 1: are available that you can you might be able to
- 24:08Speaker 1: have your weight with him if your experienced receivers have
- 24:11Speaker 1: enough times to kind of work their magic on the perimeter. Guys,
- 24:14Speaker 1: let's take a time out. We've got a couple of
- 24:16Speaker 1: social media questions when we return. The Jaguars and the
- 24:20Speaker 1: Broncos coming up at Wimbley this Sunday in London, a
- 24:23Speaker 1: battle of two and five teams and for the Jaguars
- 24:27Speaker 1: their ninth visit to London all time, for the Broncos
- 24:31Speaker 1: their second visit to the UK. This is huddle up
- 24:33Speaker 1: with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network. Teams play
- 24:42Speaker 1: a little more up tempo or no huddle against us
- 24:45Speaker 1: here in the last couple of weeks. Um, you're seeing
- 24:48Speaker 1: more quick passing game, you know a little bit of
- 24:50Speaker 1: the rpo game. Those are all things too sort of
- 24:53Speaker 1: slow down your your pass rush and then substitution packages, um,
- 24:58Speaker 1: you know, with different personnel. If if we match you
- 25:01Speaker 1: know an offensive personnel, just getting the right guys in
- 25:04Speaker 1: on the field. All those things can be sort of
- 25:07Speaker 1: minimized when when teams and we do the same thing
- 25:09Speaker 1: on offense, right, when when we know what defense wants
- 25:13Speaker 1: to uh, you know, sub their d line as much
- 25:16Speaker 1: as as much as team to do. And and it
- 25:18Speaker 1: can all it can all affect, right, it can all
- 25:20Speaker 1: affect production. That can affect, you know, how how a
- 25:23Speaker 1: group plays. And I really think that's been you know,
- 25:26Speaker 1: that's been the case here in the last couple of weeks.
- 25:29Speaker 1: That's the Jaguars head coach Doug Peterson earlier today. Welcome back.
- 25:32Speaker 1: It's huddle up with Bucky Brooks on Wednesday, as always
- 25:35Speaker 1: here on Jaguars dot Com, Jaguars social media, Twitter, Facebook
- 25:38Speaker 1: and YouTube. J P Shadrick John Osier with Bucky Brooks
- 25:41Speaker 1: ahead of the Broncos Jaguars matchup at Wembley Stadium. Hey,
- 25:46Speaker 1: let's get to some social media questions today. We got
- 25:51Speaker 1: a couple and let's start off with at Dylan underscore Cernan.
- 25:56Speaker 1: Why is a fifth round pick worth more to the
- 25:59Speaker 1: Jags than Jay robbed Well? I mean, I think fifth
- 26:06Speaker 1: is if he runs for over a certain amount of yards.
- 26:08Speaker 1: It's a six conditional could because I don't think they
- 26:11Speaker 1: were going to bring him back next year. Um. And
- 26:14Speaker 1: I think he had ten games left. I also think
- 26:18Speaker 1: that the way the offense was starting to play, that
- 26:22Speaker 1: you were seeing his role diminished in the last three games.
- 26:28Speaker 1: I wrote the static exact what it was, but six
- 26:31Speaker 1: or seven carries average for about eight yards. E t
- 26:35Speaker 1: N was at about ten carries for about seventy eight
- 26:40Speaker 1: or eight yards. Um. I think they were looking at that.
- 26:43Speaker 1: And I don't know that Jai I was gonna have
- 26:45Speaker 1: a roll. You saw it the other day. No touches,
- 26:47Speaker 1: one target. Um. Now some of that appears to have
- 26:50Speaker 1: been banging, bruise or whatever. But I don't know that
- 26:55Speaker 1: that was going to increase a whole lot. So I
- 26:57Speaker 1: think they looked at it said ten games left, let's
- 27:00Speaker 1: at what we can get out of it. I don't
- 27:02Speaker 1: know that you made this move. He had three years
- 27:03Speaker 1: after in the deal, but in games, I think that
- 27:07Speaker 1: became an NFL reality. Yeah, he's a by product of
- 27:11Speaker 1: him being the last year his deal. Uh, it's also
- 27:14Speaker 1: a deal where you're the jacks. You're trying to figure out,
- 27:17Speaker 1: uh whatever, how much am I willing to pay him
- 27:21Speaker 1: on the open market. If I'm not willing to go
- 27:22Speaker 1: above a certain figure, then I'm gonna go in Draft one.
- 27:25Speaker 1: And so getting that pick is really comes a sweet spot.
- 27:28Speaker 1: When it comes to drafting running backs or whatever, fourth
- 27:31Speaker 1: fifth round, you're trying to find somebody who is either
- 27:33Speaker 1: out who will outplay their draft status because they had
- 27:36Speaker 1: a character issue that led them to drop, or someone
- 27:39Speaker 1: that just you flat out missed on. But definitely running backs.
- 27:42Speaker 1: You see running backs come out of all different types
- 27:46Speaker 1: of spots in terms of the draft, and so I
- 27:48Speaker 1: felt like, uh, the Jaguars believed they could upgrade the
- 27:52Speaker 1: position moving on from Jay Robin taking the pick over
- 27:54Speaker 1: the player. And whenever there's a trade, jp you know,
- 27:58Speaker 1: we've been doing this long enough. Whenever there's a trade
- 28:01Speaker 1: for a familiar name on a team and it's not
- 28:05Speaker 1: a first or second round compensation, it's oh, they blew
- 28:09Speaker 1: the trade. Well, it's just not the way. When a
- 28:12Speaker 1: team such as the Jets knows you've only got ten
- 28:15Speaker 1: games left with this guy, you're letting me go at
- 28:17Speaker 1: the end of the season. It's not going to bring
- 28:21Speaker 1: a first or second round pick. It's just not the way.
- 28:24Speaker 1: Compensation works in the NFL. People were talking about second
- 28:27Speaker 1: or third. I would have been stunned if they maybe fourth,
- 28:32Speaker 1: but I would have been surprised if they'd gotten a
- 28:33Speaker 1: fourth for j Rob. I just said, I think this
- 28:35Speaker 1: is pretty much what the value goes. It's what the
- 28:39Speaker 1: market will bear. They can give this guy away. It
- 28:41Speaker 1: is what it is, alright, guys. Our next question from
- 28:44Speaker 1: at Brad Underscore d d S Sports. Good afternoon, gentlemen. Well,
- 28:48Speaker 1: good afternoon to you, Brad. Thanks. How much of an
- 28:52Speaker 1: advantage is the London game for the Jags? This is
- 28:55Speaker 1: the week? What do you think? Yeah, ye, I mean
- 29:00Speaker 1: I I think there was a time where I felt
- 29:04Speaker 1: like this gave us us mean the Jags and edge
- 29:08Speaker 1: um two thousand seven team and to beat the Ravens
- 29:13Speaker 1: over there the Bills the week the year before, or
- 29:17Speaker 1: fifteen or sixteen, they got way up on the Colts.
- 29:21Speaker 1: One year they were slipping and sliding all over the pitch.
- 29:25Speaker 1: I felt like for a few years when the Jags
- 29:29Speaker 1: had been a few times and other teams didn't know it,
- 29:34Speaker 1: I really feel like it gave him an edge that
- 29:35Speaker 1: year against the Ravens. You know, it just felt like
- 29:37Speaker 1: the Ravens didn't want to be there. Maybe I'm remembering
- 29:39Speaker 1: it wrong. That was sort of the field. They beat
- 29:41Speaker 1: the hell out of him, and you could tell it
- 29:43Speaker 1: in the tone of the comments going into the game
- 29:46Speaker 1: and after the game too. Yeah. So I don't think
- 29:49Speaker 1: that exists as much anymore. And maybe I'll be proving wrong.
- 29:52Speaker 1: Maybe Jacks Bent blew out the Broncos, But I don't
- 29:57Speaker 1: think that advantage is going to exist as much as
- 29:59Speaker 1: it did. Go four teams have been over there, Logistics
- 30:03Speaker 1: people have been over there. I'm not saying it will
- 30:07Speaker 1: never be an issue, but I don't think you're gonna
- 30:09Speaker 1: see it be a yearly thing where the Jags have
- 30:12Speaker 1: an edge with it. Oh well, look, I'll be honest
- 30:16Speaker 1: with when it comes to home feel advantage, the real
- 30:18Speaker 1: home feel advantage is having better players any other team.
- 30:22Speaker 1: That's when the home fiel advantage and all that other
- 30:23Speaker 1: stuff matters. So we can talk about taking a long
- 30:26Speaker 1: trip and flying across the pond and doing all that
- 30:29Speaker 1: other stuff. At the end of the day, if you
- 30:31Speaker 1: have better players, that's the advantage. Even it's just I'm
- 30:33Speaker 1: better than you, and so we'll see if the Jaguars
- 30:35Speaker 1: are better than the Broncos in certain areas. Uh, this
- 30:38Speaker 1: is one where uh they can kind of trick it
- 30:41Speaker 1: up a little bit. Doug alluded to playing with tempo
- 30:44Speaker 1: and pace and rhythm and those things. Let's see if
- 30:47Speaker 1: some of that stuff will work. But I mean, if
- 30:49Speaker 1: the Broncos gonna come over on a Monday and take
- 30:51Speaker 1: a full week to acclimate to the time and all that,
- 30:54Speaker 1: now it becomes an execution game, not one on rest
- 30:57Speaker 1: and recovery and who has jet lag and who who doesn't?
- 31:01Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting and I haven't looked it up
- 31:04Speaker 1: because I don't know where Pro Football research has this
- 31:07Speaker 1: stat I don't think there is one. I don't remember
- 31:10Speaker 1: a team doing this for a long time. The week
- 31:14Speaker 1: out out. Yeah, I mean the Jags did it in
- 31:19Speaker 1: thirteen or fourteen, one of the first years, the first
- 31:21Speaker 1: two years that you and I went over. But beyond that,
- 31:26Speaker 1: they haven't done it. And I don't recall a whole
- 31:28Speaker 1: lot of other teams who just done it once doing
- 31:31Speaker 1: it this way. So and consider this too. Nate Hackett
- 31:34Speaker 1: was here for four years and most of those were
- 31:37Speaker 1: short trips. That was I don't think Nate was ever
- 31:39Speaker 1: here when they went extended. You know what will happen
- 31:45Speaker 1: based on Hackets experience. I'm sure it seemed like they
- 31:49Speaker 1: took a lot of losses during that time coming to London.
- 31:52Speaker 1: Maybe we want to do something different, So maybe you
- 31:54Speaker 1: want to tweak the schedule to see if the acclamation
- 31:57Speaker 1: period will help his guys perform at a better love
- 31:59Speaker 1: than maybe some of the teams that he was on
- 32:01Speaker 1: earlier performed at You actually, I know this is Bucky
- 32:04Speaker 1: show JP, but uh not so Buck. I mean they
- 32:09Speaker 1: actually want a bunch of games with Hack if they
- 32:11Speaker 1: beat the Bill. You know they were pretty good doing that.
- 32:15Speaker 1: Here's what will happen, Bucky. I guarantee you this if
- 32:18Speaker 1: if the Broncos come out and play well and win,
- 32:22Speaker 1: everybody will go on Monday now because oh they did
- 32:24Speaker 1: they did it. You know, it's such a coffeecat league.
- 32:27Speaker 1: Now everybody will start going on Monday again. A story
- 32:30Speaker 1: where they you know, they were planning on playing right
- 32:33Speaker 1: before COVID in a game in the UK, and of
- 32:35Speaker 1: course the COVID thing happened, so they had sent people
- 32:37Speaker 1: over to plan on their own. It was the first
- 32:39Speaker 1: time going since all this, and then in this offseason
- 32:42Speaker 1: they flew over the hotel kitchen staff from the UK
- 32:47Speaker 1: to Denver to learn how to prepare the meals the
- 32:50Speaker 1: way they wanted them all week loud. So of course
- 32:53Speaker 1: the will Hilton Wimbley people had to go all the
- 32:56Speaker 1: way to Denver for like a week and learn how
- 32:59Speaker 1: to cook food. Again. If there is a you can
- 33:02Speaker 1: spend money on, they will do it. I mean, why
- 33:04Speaker 1: why not? I mean, you got your your quarterback doing
- 33:07Speaker 1: high knees on a plane, which I don't even understand
- 33:09Speaker 1: how you have enough room to high knee and stretch
- 33:12Speaker 1: and do all the other stuff where everyone else is sleeping.
- 33:14Speaker 1: And then you're telling me that the wholesale hotel staff
- 33:16Speaker 1: flew across the pond so they're gonna have a sample
- 33:20Speaker 1: platters like at at some grocery stores. I'm I'm shocked.
- 33:24Speaker 1: I mean, my goodness, Like, what what are the Broncos doing?
- 33:27Speaker 1: But we'll see because we can joke about it or whatever.
- 33:29Speaker 1: They get to win on Sunday, then they hats off
- 33:32Speaker 1: to them. Two things, JP, if a team can find
- 33:35Speaker 1: something to overspend on in the NFL, they will do it.
- 33:39Speaker 1: And Bucky's never traveled with me because I do high
- 33:41Speaker 1: knees on the plane to play compression, sleave all that
- 33:47Speaker 1: other stuff. I'm sure it's the impressive site. Well, I mean, look,
- 33:50Speaker 1: the good thing is is John w You're on one
- 33:52Speaker 1: side doing high knees. I'll be on the other side
- 33:54Speaker 1: doing side angle. Then all kinds of yoga poses making
- 33:58Speaker 1: sure that, I mean, what you're wanting. What are you
- 33:59Speaker 1: two to make sure the circulation is going the right
- 34:01Speaker 1: way so I can beat my own version of Russell Wilson.
- 34:05Speaker 1: That's right, that's what the sleep mask is for. I'll
- 34:07Speaker 1: use that throughout the flight for sure. We're back in
- 34:10Speaker 1: a moment. Thanks for the social media questions today. Our
- 34:13Speaker 1: final thoughts ahead of the Broncos Jaguars game. Subscribed to

- 34:27Speaker 1: It's huddle up with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network.
- 34:38Speaker 1: The fatigue factor, you know, and you still gotta meet
- 34:41Speaker 1: and you still got practice and keep the guys, keep
- 34:43Speaker 1: the guys going. I mean that's a challenge there, but
- 34:46Speaker 1: you know, you get to Saturday, and obviously Sunday you
- 34:48Speaker 1: feel you feel pretty good and you're ready to go,
- 34:51Speaker 1: you know, so we do. We do the bulk of
- 34:53Speaker 1: our lifting that way. You know. These next two days
- 34:57Speaker 1: you have a Doug Peterson on the bigger challenge of
- 35:00Speaker 1: the travel coming up Thursday night. Welcome back. It's Huddle
- 35:03Speaker 1: Up with Bucky Brooks. J P. Shadrick with John Osier
- 35:06Speaker 1: here in Jacksonville, Bucky out in Los Angeles. Huddle Up
- 35:09Speaker 1: with Bucky Brooks. Brought to you by Fields Auto Group, Jacksonville.
- 35:12Speaker 1: Step up to luxury Fields Auto dot Com and we
- 35:15Speaker 1: take a live look outside t i A bank field.
- 35:18Speaker 1: It's a beautiful sunny, partly cloudy day, mostly Sonny, i'd say.
- 35:22Speaker 1: And it's the Miller Electric Center, the future home for
- 35:26Speaker 1: Jaguars football. The office is on the right, the indoor
- 35:29Speaker 1: facility in the middle, the practice fields will be in
- 35:33Speaker 1: the middle and left, and the grand stand will be
- 35:35Speaker 1: on the far left and it's going to be fantastic.
- 35:38Speaker 1: It will be open for business before training camp of
- 35:41Speaker 1: twenty three. So it continues to grow each and every day.
- 35:47Speaker 1: Now the Jaguars are headed to Wimbley to face the
- 35:50Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. The last time the Broncos were in London
- 35:53Speaker 1: was and they were popped right after the game for
- 35:56Speaker 1: filming the Forts practice and find a hundred thousand dollars
- 36:00Speaker 1: total fifty thousand to the head coach an assistant. They're
- 36:04Speaker 1: filming the forty Niners practice. Only a few weeks later,
- 36:07Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels was fired at the time. That's been a while.
- 36:10Speaker 1: The Jaguars have had mixed results in London over the years.
- 36:14Speaker 1: Let's say they've had some good times. They've had some
- 36:16Speaker 1: very low times. But the times will continue for the
- 36:19Speaker 1: foreseeable future, and hopefully they're better than they are worse, smucky,
- 36:23Speaker 1: but it's gonna be what it is. And now it's
- 36:25Speaker 1: another trip to London and it's a battle of two
- 36:28Speaker 1: and five teams. Each of these teams need it certainly.
- 36:31Speaker 1: What do you feel about this game? Do you feel
- 36:33Speaker 1: Do you feel good about it? I mean I feel
- 36:35Speaker 1: good about it. I feel good about it. I feel
- 36:37Speaker 1: good about the Broncos limping in, having a ton of
- 36:40Speaker 1: offensive wolves, a quarterback who is uh not at four strimp. Yeah,
- 36:45Speaker 1: I feel good about it. For the Jaguars, the key
- 36:47Speaker 1: will be can you make Russell Wilson uncomfortable in the pocket. Uh,
- 36:51Speaker 1: if you're able to make him uncomfortable in the pocket,
- 36:53Speaker 1: now he has to use his legs and he doesn't
- 36:56Speaker 1: want to live that life anymore. He doesn't want to
- 36:58Speaker 1: be on the perimeter. So it's stopping the and it
- 37:00Speaker 1: makes sure you get after Russell and then it's just
- 37:02Speaker 1: a limit to big players. You do those things, you
- 37:04Speaker 1: wn have success because it might be some tough sledding
- 37:08Speaker 1: on offense. And so if the Jaguars are able to
- 37:11Speaker 1: get up maybe two scores, ten points, thirteen points, man,
- 37:15Speaker 1: that might seem like an insurmountable lead for the Broncos
- 37:19Speaker 1: to come back from. I feel good about it as well.
- 37:22Speaker 1: And I haven't felt good a whole lot uh lately
- 37:27Speaker 1: about this team because I wanted to see them win
- 37:29Speaker 1: a close game. They haven't been able to win yet.
- 37:31Speaker 1: But at some point you break through that. And uh,
- 37:35Speaker 1: I didn't feel great about it against the Giants because
- 37:37Speaker 1: they seemed like a team that knew how they wanted
- 37:40Speaker 1: to play and was playing very well to their formula.
- 37:43Speaker 1: As dangerous, Um, I don't know that. I don't know
- 37:46Speaker 1: the Broncos are there yet, So it's scary that the
- 37:50Speaker 1: defense plays that well. Uh, but I do think this
- 37:54Speaker 1: is an offense that that the Jaguars can and should
- 37:56Speaker 1: go get. Oh, that sounds like a guarantee right there, JP.
- 37:59Speaker 1: This was like in Jo's on way of kind of like,
- 38:03Speaker 1: I can't guarantee, I haven't seen the second doesn't get
- 38:06Speaker 1: a bulletin board material is about as close to a
- 38:09Speaker 1: guarantee as I've heard from a young Oroceri Overdree Like
- 38:12Speaker 1: that sounds like you're you're guaranteeing and I can take
- 38:14Speaker 1: that to the bank. I mean, you do you and
- 38:19Speaker 1: do whatever you want. That's what I love. You know
- 38:22Speaker 1: what I love, JP. I love when I get the
- 38:25Speaker 1: arrogant version of like, I love that, that arrogance where
- 38:28Speaker 1: I know what I'm saying, I know what I got.
- 38:30Speaker 1: I get all the time from him, all the time.
- 38:34Speaker 1: I like their chances better than I've liked them in
- 38:37Speaker 1: a long time. By the way, the weather forecast in
- 38:42Speaker 1: London is mid sixties and a low of fifties six
- 38:47Speaker 1: overnight seventy chance of rain on Sunday. The stands are covered,
- 38:51Speaker 1: the field is not. There is a relatively new pitch
- 38:55Speaker 1: there a couple of years ago. It's ninety seven percent
- 38:57Speaker 1: natural grass, three synthetic iber's. The last event there was
- 39:02Speaker 1: an early October. It was an England women's soccer game.
- 39:05Speaker 1: So they've had a couple three weeks without any activity
- 39:08Speaker 1: on the field. We know in the past that has
- 39:10Speaker 1: been an issue there and certainly when it rains, we've
- 39:12Speaker 1: seen that, John, it can be a slippery mess. The
- 39:15Speaker 1: fields just a little different consistency than over here. Yeah, Buck,
- 39:18Speaker 1: did you like how he uh called it a pitch? Yeah,
- 39:23Speaker 1: And he's getting he's getting ready. He's getting ready, and
- 39:29Speaker 1: I'm sure there'll be some more analogies as he gets ready,
- 39:32Speaker 1: uh to embark on a little trip across the pond.
- 39:34Speaker 1: I guess this isn't an it's an international show, so
- 39:37Speaker 1: I guess you can call it a pitch. If it
- 39:39Speaker 1: was just going out to the Americans, we just called it. Well,
- 39:42Speaker 1: next time, I'll ask your permission, John, how about that? No,
- 39:45Speaker 1: I won't. Um, that'll do it for the show, Bucky,
- 39:48Speaker 1: We'll talk to you, man. Have a great week. Hey man,
- 39:51Speaker 1: you guys do have fun. Bucky Brooks in Los Angeles, California.
