- 0:43Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio field analysts will get his thoughts on the
- 0:47Speaker 1: clean out day in the locker room and primp Ballky
- 0:51Speaker 1: had some comments a press conference earlier this week as well.
- 0:54Speaker 1: Senior writer John Oser joining us here in studio a
- 0:58Speaker 1: recap of the two campaign and I'll look ahead to
- 1:01Speaker 1: the off season that is now upon us social media
- 1:05Speaker 1: question singular coming up as well. Alright, Bucky Brooks, John Osier,
- 1:12Speaker 1: here we are. But it ended, and all of a sudden,
- 1:15Speaker 1: the page turns quickly, the mood and the tone um
- 1:19Speaker 1: moves forward, Bucky to the off season and now what
- 1:23Speaker 1: this team needs to do to reload and and maintain
- 1:26Speaker 1: their spot at the top of the a f C
- 1:28Speaker 1: South and get back to the playoffs year over year.
- 1:30Speaker 1: It it changes in a hurry once the season ends, Buck, Yeah,
- 1:35Speaker 1: it ends abruptly and everything changes immediately. Uh. You start
- 1:39Speaker 1: to reflect a little bit upon the successes that you have,
- 1:43Speaker 1: but right now your eyes have to already be on
- 1:45Speaker 1: the off season. What you want to do in free agency? Uh?
- 1:48Speaker 1: Do you want to apply any franchise tags? You begin
- 1:51Speaker 1: to try and catch up on some of the draft
- 1:53Speaker 1: prospects because the combine is around the corner, and so
- 1:57Speaker 1: as much as you want to kind of revel into
- 1:59Speaker 1: success of two, you already have to start thinking about
- 2:03Speaker 1: what you want to get done in Yeah, Bucky can
- 2:05Speaker 1: speak to this better than I, but I get away
- 2:07Speaker 1: day in the NFL is always a stunning lee Uh,
- 2:12Speaker 1: final moment, And as you as you're around the league more,
- 2:17Speaker 1: you realize that the truth of teams will never be
- 2:21Speaker 1: the same again. It's so true. And and JP, obviously
- 2:24Speaker 1: you've been to this decade now, so you know teams
- 2:27Speaker 1: are never the same, uh, and the locker room that
- 2:31Speaker 1: they walked out of, even the mood, the vibe is
- 2:33Speaker 1: never quite the same. So I do think it's important
- 2:36Speaker 1: that Doug said it in his press are on Monday.
- 2:38Speaker 1: It was, Um, there should be some satisfaction from this season,
- 2:43Speaker 1: and the players should take a week two weeks and
- 2:48Speaker 1: sort of absorb that, let that be a part of
- 2:50Speaker 1: their lives of what they accomplished, and and the coaches
- 2:52Speaker 1: on some level should as well. But yeah, you've got
- 2:56Speaker 1: to be moving forward, uh, with the idea that you
- 3:01Speaker 1: know Alice Bucky his too. Just because you did something
- 3:04Speaker 1: this year doesn't mean you're guaranteed anything next year. And
- 3:08Speaker 1: especially for this team as high as we are on
- 3:12Speaker 1: a lot of things that happened. UM, Trevor Lawrence particularly,
- 3:17Speaker 1: it's clear he was really really good this year. I
- 3:22Speaker 1: he must get better still, which I think he will,
- 3:25Speaker 1: but he's got to fulfill these things we saw for
- 3:28Speaker 1: them to get to that level that we saw on
- 3:30Speaker 1: Saturday and to be playing on Sunday. Let's hear from
- 3:36Speaker 1: Jaguar's head coach Doug Peterson speaking of the quarterback performance
- 3:40Speaker 1: this year. What did he have to say? About it
- 3:42Speaker 1: on Monday. It's huge. It's huge. It's it's the same
- 3:46Speaker 1: thing I've been telling the players this morning. The the the
- 3:48Speaker 1: ones I've seen is, you know, especially the guys that
- 3:51Speaker 1: are going to be back, I mean, there's familiarity. You know,
- 3:54Speaker 1: when the off season program starts, they know exactly what
- 3:56Speaker 1: to expect. They know what to expect during O t
- 3:59Speaker 1: A s. They know to expect. You're in training camp,
- 4:00Speaker 1: they know the offense, the defense. They no special teams.
- 4:03Speaker 1: So it's and in for Trevor, it's it's everything. There's continuity,
- 4:08Speaker 1: there's consistency. He knows the guys he's gonna be throwing
- 4:11Speaker 1: the ball too. He knows the coaching staff who's gonna
- 4:13Speaker 1: be coaching him. And um, that's that's Uh. That that's
- 4:18Speaker 1: a big that's big for us. And from year one
- 4:20Speaker 1: to year two and and um, those are the you know,
- 4:24Speaker 1: the jumps that teams make is usually year one, year two,
- 4:28Speaker 1: possibly into year three. Um, but for our quarterback, you
- 4:33Speaker 1: know who had a great year this year, he'll only
- 4:37Speaker 1: get better just having that that consistency around him. Yeah,
- 4:40Speaker 1: let's hear from the quarterback himself. Now, Trevor Lawrence knows
- 4:43Speaker 1: the stability is key for him moving ahead. It feels good,
- 4:48Speaker 1: you know, knowing that just the foundation that we have here,
- 4:51Speaker 1: that we that we set this season and last offseason,
- 4:54Speaker 1: and just knowing that I'm going to be in the
- 4:56Speaker 1: same system and all those things moving forward. I mean,
- 4:58Speaker 1: I'm really excited to have that experience and just have
- 5:02Speaker 1: all this this tape to learn from and so many
- 5:04Speaker 1: things that you know, as as many things that we
- 5:07Speaker 1: did good this year, there's a lot of things that
- 5:08Speaker 1: we can do better and just just the improvements that
- 5:10Speaker 1: we can make, and um, that's really exciting moving Forward'm
- 5:13Speaker 1: not gonna have to learn new offense and just to
- 5:14Speaker 1: have that stability. Um, it's really exciting for myself, for
- 5:18Speaker 1: for all of our guys on offense, and um, it's
- 5:20Speaker 1: it's really exciting. Bucky three offenses the last three seasons,
- 5:24Speaker 1: he's had to learn or no, he obviously knew the
- 5:27Speaker 1: Clemson win for a few years, but three and three
- 5:30Speaker 1: years and that that that's tough to do. And now
- 5:33Speaker 1: he doesn't have to do that moving ahead, Now he
- 5:36Speaker 1: doesn't do he doesn't have to do that. And you
- 5:38Speaker 1: heard Doug Peterson talk about the consistency and stability to structure,
- 5:42Speaker 1: how can UH it can lead to a big jump
- 5:45Speaker 1: in the second year in the system. And that's what
- 5:47Speaker 1: you would expect, not only because Trevor has a familiarity
- 5:50Speaker 1: with what the Jaguars want to do offensively, but then
- 5:53Speaker 1: the coaching staff knows clearly what he's able to do,
- 5:57Speaker 1: but also they know how they want to improve in
- 6:00Speaker 1: certain areas. And so it's Doug and Press Taylor and
- 6:03Speaker 1: Mike McCoy are sitting there trying to come up with
- 6:05Speaker 1: the developmental plan for the quarterback. They'll get together see
- 6:09Speaker 1: where they want to go and how they want to
- 6:10Speaker 1: evolve this offense as they ask some more pieces to
- 6:13Speaker 1: it to help the quarterback be able to play at
- 6:15Speaker 1: the level of a Josh Allen to Joe Burrow and
- 6:18Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. Because make no mistake, those are the quarterbacks
- 6:22Speaker 1: that you're going to have to defeat to be able
- 6:24Speaker 1: to UH win on those championships Sundays. And so Trevor,
- 6:28Speaker 1: Lawrence and everyone in the build and has to understand that,
- 6:31Speaker 1: and the coaching staff has to figure out a way
- 6:33Speaker 1: to build a plan to be able to do that.
- 6:35Speaker 1: I don't know Howard measure it, but I think what
- 6:39Speaker 1: we're talking about right now the Jaguars chances of improving
- 6:45Speaker 1: greatly and getting to this weekend rather than last weekend
- 6:49Speaker 1: next year, because that'll be the step. Um. I would
- 6:54Speaker 1: put importance of what we're talking about happening, meaning a
- 6:58Speaker 1: year or two jump, which I think is gonna happen.
- 6:59Speaker 1: I his offense is going to be unreal next year
- 7:02Speaker 1: because of what we're talking about. The continuity. I think
- 7:06Speaker 1: that's of the importance and what you acquire in the
- 7:10Speaker 1: off season personnel, stuffy logistics stuff. UM. I think the
- 7:19Speaker 1: jump that they might take is what could get them
- 7:22Speaker 1: to that uh to that next level. Buck. Hey, maybe
- 7:25Speaker 1: I'm overstating it a bit, but I think it's everything.
- 7:28Speaker 1: The feel that this kid could have in the offense
- 7:30Speaker 1: next year could have them scoring five six more points
- 7:33Speaker 1: a game and scoring in big situations when it really matters. Yet, John,
- 7:39Speaker 1: it's it's not only that, it's not only his his improvement,
- 7:43Speaker 1: but I mean, let's let's talk about the elephant in
- 7:45Speaker 1: the room, Calvin Ridley. At some point he's going to
- 7:47Speaker 1: join this offense, and depending on what kind of UH
- 7:50Speaker 1: shape and condition he is in after two years away,
- 7:54Speaker 1: that can make a significant improvement. So as Trevor improves
- 7:58Speaker 1: and as the pieces around him UH theoretically improved, yes,
- 8:02Speaker 1: he should be able to jump up in that category.
- 8:04Speaker 1: When I look at UH, and I think the perfect
- 8:06Speaker 1: thing to look at is the Cincinnati Bengers and what
- 8:08Speaker 1: they have surrounded Joe Burrow with and how that works.
- 8:11Speaker 1: That the Yang and Yang when it comes to their
- 8:13Speaker 1: running game and their passing game and the playmakers that
- 8:16Speaker 1: they have. Yeah, they're gonna be tremendous expectations for this
- 8:19Speaker 1: offense because the quarterback teased us this year in another
- 8:23Speaker 1: another off season under Doug Peterson and that staff, the
- 8:26Speaker 1: expectations that he's going to take a major leap where
- 8:29Speaker 1: he's able to not only UH win the South, but
- 8:33Speaker 1: he's competing for Pro Bowl berths and end conversations for
- 8:37Speaker 1: the m v P. That's just what the expectation is.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Particularly when you were forming number one overall pick I
- 8:42Speaker 1: was res JP, you do have to get the Yang
- 8:44Speaker 1: Yang right, you gotta get that. Yeah, that's important to
- 8:46Speaker 1: mention that. Fortunately we had Bucky here pick up the pieces.
- 8:50Speaker 1: We're back in a moment. Defense, the Jaguars improved on
- 8:55Speaker 1: that side of the football, and a little later we'll
- 8:57Speaker 1: hear from Trent Bawky, Jaguars general manager. It's how all
- 9:00Speaker 1: up with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network's just
- 9:16Speaker 1: seeing what we're capable of here in Jacksonville. Just seeing
- 9:19Speaker 1: all this time I'd come together with everybody, um, the
- 9:22Speaker 1: brotherhood that we kind of formed, and understanding what it
- 9:25Speaker 1: takes to win game, win game, especially late in the season. Obviously,
- 9:29Speaker 1: want to have a cleaner seasons, got to a better start,
- 9:32Speaker 1: have a better finish. But it was cool to see,
- 9:35Speaker 1: you know, a whole bunch of guys coming in kind
- 9:37Speaker 1: of seem like we're all knew each other and start
- 9:39Speaker 1: winning games. Foyer look and the league's leading tackler in
- 9:43Speaker 1: the locker room Monday on clean out day and welcome back.
- 9:47Speaker 1: It's Wednesday and it's huddle up with Bucky Brooks. J
- 9:49Speaker 1: P Shaddrick john O's are along as well. The off
- 9:52Speaker 1: season is here. Let's move it to the defensive side
- 9:56Speaker 1: of the football and Bucky, there were moments in the
- 9:59Speaker 1: Sea Reason where you know, earlier in the year, they're
- 10:02Speaker 1: taking the ball away and impacting games. Um, then they
- 10:05Speaker 1: hit a little bit of a lull in that department
- 10:07Speaker 1: midway through during that rough stretch for the Jags, and
- 10:10Speaker 1: then they started to do it again down the stretch
- 10:13Speaker 1: and especially in key moments. Um. You know, in the
- 10:16Speaker 1: last month or so the season and obviously the playoff
- 10:19Speaker 1: game got off the field in the wild card game
- 10:21Speaker 1: a bunch when they needed to to to get the
- 10:23Speaker 1: team back into it. So, um, you know what's priority
- 10:27Speaker 1: number one for this defense? Moving ahead, Bucky in your eyes,
- 10:32Speaker 1: A couple of things have to happen in the off season. One,
- 10:36Speaker 1: I think defensicord and it might call Will will continue
- 10:39Speaker 1: to grow UH the experience that he has his first
- 10:42Speaker 1: time UH play caller, that this will help him have
- 10:45Speaker 1: a better feel for how to structure of the off season,
- 10:48Speaker 1: how to put together installation plans that fit the personnel
- 10:51Speaker 1: that he has in front of him. I think another
- 10:53Speaker 1: thing that will happen is the team has to address
- 10:55Speaker 1: some of the personnel issues and deficiencies that they have
- 10:58Speaker 1: to be able to play the scheme that might call
- 11:00Speaker 1: Will wants. I think top priority has to be UH
- 11:04Speaker 1: pass rushers and cornerbacks. UH. If you want to play
- 11:08Speaker 1: the style that the Jaguars were kind of teasing us
- 11:11Speaker 1: with where they want to bring pressure they want to
- 11:12Speaker 1: play man to man. UH, they got to upgrade the talent.
- 11:15Speaker 1: I know you have Tyson Campbell, who's a legitimate number one,
- 11:18Speaker 1: Darius Williams moved from inside to outside. UH, still adjusting
- 11:22Speaker 1: to playing outside. If you ask me, I think they
- 11:24Speaker 1: need two corners that can that can lock down and
- 11:27Speaker 1: play and have the versatility to be able to play
- 11:31Speaker 1: man while also having the i Q and the instincts
- 11:33Speaker 1: to play zone. And then you have to have another UH.
- 11:37Speaker 1: I would say high end pass rusher, someone that can
- 11:40Speaker 1: command a double team, someone that can give you UH
- 11:43Speaker 1: sack production in those key moments. As much as I
- 11:46Speaker 1: love what the Jaguars were able to do in terms
- 11:48Speaker 1: of forcing UH turnovers, UH, you really begin to force
- 11:52Speaker 1: turnovers when you're able to harass the quarterback and force
- 11:54Speaker 1: them to throw the ball under the rest because then
- 11:57Speaker 1: you get interceptions off tips and overthrows, and so you
- 12:00Speaker 1: need more I would say consistent contributors as passed rushers
- 12:04Speaker 1: to be able to help this defense evolve and this
- 12:07Speaker 1: defense go to the next level. Yeah, I agree with everything,
- 12:11Speaker 1: and well said I. I thought that showed up a
- 12:15Speaker 1: little bit. I thought they manufactured a lot of pass
- 12:18Speaker 1: rushing turnover during the season at a remarkable level. To
- 12:22Speaker 1: get seven out of a pass rush that was led
- 12:27Speaker 1: by seven sacks, meaning I don't think anybody played elite.
- 12:32Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen has that in him, but numbers wise,
- 12:38Speaker 1: impact wise, Uh, and he'd be first tell you wasn't
- 12:41Speaker 1: They're all year um much better late. I think it
- 12:45Speaker 1: showed up in the playoffs that the seven the regular
- 12:48Speaker 1: season takeaways and none in the playoffs. It felt like
- 12:52Speaker 1: once they got to these elite you know, to the
- 12:55Speaker 1: elite teams, um, that they handled what the Jaguars could
- 13:00Speaker 1: throw at them a little better. Now if it's true,
- 13:03Speaker 1: because it's it's a two game sample size, maybe it
- 13:06Speaker 1: was just you know, uh, a hiccup, but big pressure
- 13:12Speaker 1: in big moments. Um, not a whole lot on the
- 13:16Speaker 1: homes you know, well there's not a whole There was
- 13:22Speaker 1: some there, but he he's great at that. Yeah, he
- 13:25Speaker 1: moves enough when it matters, just kind of get that
- 13:27Speaker 1: extra It wasn't devastating, you know, and sometimes in the
- 13:31Speaker 1: postseason you have to have moments where you're devastating as
- 13:33Speaker 1: a pass rush, and uh, that wasn't there, and they
- 13:36Speaker 1: need to be there. Look as we move into the tournament,
- 13:41Speaker 1: you get into the postseason, it becomes about your stars.
- 13:44Speaker 1: The game shifts from UH plays two players, it's about
- 13:49Speaker 1: the players that you have. Can your big players? Can
- 13:51Speaker 1: your stars make plays? And so it's a mix of
- 13:55Speaker 1: Trent Balky and their staff continue to add high end
- 13:58Speaker 1: pieces to the on the defensive side of the ball,
- 14:02Speaker 1: and then it's Mike call Will trying to figure out
- 14:04Speaker 1: a few tactics and schemes that helped those players UH
- 14:08Speaker 1: have big play opportunities. And so when you get that,
- 14:10Speaker 1: that's when you see the the dominance that when you
- 14:13Speaker 1: see the team kind of kick it in and take
- 14:15Speaker 1: it to another level. Because in the postseason, when you
- 14:18Speaker 1: look at the teams that are left standing, all of
- 14:20Speaker 1: them play really good defense. And it's not just oh,
- 14:24Speaker 1: we get a bunch of turnovers. They're really good in
- 14:26Speaker 1: the red zone. They're really good getting after the pastor
- 14:28Speaker 1: they find a way to take the ball away. UH
- 14:30Speaker 1: their rock solid when it comes to being able to
- 14:32Speaker 1: be diverse in the schemes that they utilized, because their
- 14:36Speaker 1: players not only have the athleticism to play a variety
- 14:38Speaker 1: different ways, but they also have the aptitude in the
- 14:41Speaker 1: i Q to be able to play that way. Al Right, guys,
- 14:44Speaker 1: we'll come back in a moment a social media question
- 14:46Speaker 1: and uh plenty more in ahead. We'll hear from Trimp
- 14:49Speaker 1: Bulky as well Jaguars Jaguars general manager. This is Huddle
- 14:54Speaker 1: Up with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network. Yeah,
- 15:01Speaker 1: it's frustrating when you think about the game and um
- 15:05Speaker 1: yeah we're there. Um and and even with that, people
- 15:08Speaker 1: want to talk about the future. And it's frustrating because
- 15:11Speaker 1: we still had everything we needed and every opportunity to
- 15:13Speaker 1: win that game, so you know, but we didn't. You know,
- 15:16Speaker 1: we didn't get it done. And and that's what that's
- 15:18Speaker 1: what It kind of eats at you a little bit.
- 15:20Speaker 1: But we'll let that fuel us for next year. And um,
- 15:23Speaker 1: you you kind of from you remember that feeling and
- 15:25Speaker 1: you use it moving forward. But yeah, I mean, we're
- 15:28Speaker 1: we're there, and just to think about, like I said,
- 15:30Speaker 1: the experience and all the work that will have this
- 15:33Speaker 1: offseason moving forward, and um, we're just gonna get better
- 15:36Speaker 1: and better. And those are the teams you gotta beat,
- 15:39Speaker 1: you know, if you want to get to where we
- 15:41Speaker 1: want to go, you're gonna have to go through all
- 15:42Speaker 1: those teams, and you look at Cincinnati and Kansas City
- 15:45Speaker 1: and Buffalo, and there's gonna be other great teams next
- 15:48Speaker 1: year too, and um, those are the teams you gotta beat.
- 15:52Speaker 1: There's a quarterback, of course. Trevor Lawrence in the locker
- 15:54Speaker 1: room Monday, huddle up with Bucky Brooks. Brought to you
- 15:57Speaker 1: by Fields Auto Group, Jacksonville. Step up to luxury Fields
- 16:01Speaker 1: Auto dot Com. It's got a social media We put
- 16:05Speaker 1: out the cat signal earlier today on Twitter. Here's the
- 16:08Speaker 1: best we came up with. This is at G Boss
- 16:11Speaker 1: nine O four. What are three things you would add
- 16:13Speaker 1: to the team via the draft or free agency? Bucky,
- 16:16Speaker 1: you hit on a couple of these, but this person
- 16:19Speaker 1: is asking for three total. What do you got? Well,
- 16:23Speaker 1: I mean, I think the top three needs, uh in
- 16:26Speaker 1: order would be cornerback, pass rusher. Uh. Then I think
- 16:29Speaker 1: you need to continue to fortify the interior of the
- 16:32Speaker 1: offensive line. Brandon Sheriff had a few injuries that he
- 16:36Speaker 1: was dealing with. He was able to play through, but
- 16:37Speaker 1: I think you need to start thinking about having somebody
- 16:40Speaker 1: ready to fill in at the right guard spot. But defensively,
- 16:44Speaker 1: that's really what you have to think about you have
- 16:46Speaker 1: to think about how can you make this team better
- 16:47Speaker 1: and more diverse in terms of style of play. Um,
- 16:51Speaker 1: even though they want to be a little more bam,
- 16:54Speaker 1: but don't break a little softer. You've got to have
- 16:57Speaker 1: the right components to be able to play the style
- 16:59Speaker 1: that Peterson wants might call what the employ Yeah, Bucky,
- 17:02Speaker 1: where would you put And I'm not sure where I
- 17:05Speaker 1: land on it? Um interior defensive line. I mean it's
- 17:09Speaker 1: it seems uh, Devon Hamilton's played really well and they
- 17:14Speaker 1: and they got good play there. Uh. I guess they're
- 17:19Speaker 1: not dominant enough anywhere on the front seven yet. But
- 17:23Speaker 1: it's a hard position to find dominant disruptive guy there.
- 17:27Speaker 1: But how important is it? I mean it's very important
- 17:30Speaker 1: because if you can find someone up the middle that
- 17:32Speaker 1: can dominate the pressures right there's immedia. It's right in
- 17:36Speaker 1: the face of the quarterback because it's coming right up
- 17:38Speaker 1: to gut. Uh. Chris Jones from Kansas City is one
- 17:41Speaker 1: that is is terrific on the inside as a pass rushsurant.
- 17:44Speaker 1: So uh, it changes your launch point, it disrupts your
- 17:47Speaker 1: running game. And so anytime you can add a disruptive
- 17:50Speaker 1: player at the point particularly on the inside. It's beneficial
- 17:53Speaker 1: in so many different areas. When I look at the Jacks,
- 17:55Speaker 1: if you want to have a full, transparent UH conversation,
- 17:59Speaker 1: you have to look and see who are the guys
- 18:02Speaker 1: that if we were writing the scouting report, that you
- 18:04Speaker 1: would be worried about when looking at their defense. And
- 18:07Speaker 1: I don't know if they have a guy that that
- 18:09Speaker 1: scares you where they command doubled attention, that command you
- 18:13Speaker 1: slide and protection in his direction to make sure that
- 18:16Speaker 1: he doesn't have a free runt at the quarterback. Um
- 18:20Speaker 1: DA's support that you worry about because in certain games
- 18:23Speaker 1: that kind of tilt towards being a passing game and
- 18:26Speaker 1: that stuff. Do you have enough to get after the
- 18:28Speaker 1: quarterback over time to wear them down? Yeah? I made
- 18:33Speaker 1: this point to earlier this week JP. Maybe I wrote
- 18:35Speaker 1: it and you just had to read it. Um. But
- 18:39Speaker 1: they they're they're an interesting situation because I think they're
- 18:45Speaker 1: clearly much better defensively than they were a year ago
- 18:48Speaker 1: or I thought they were. UM And I don't think
- 18:52Speaker 1: they're deficient in a lot of areas, but I don't
- 18:55Speaker 1: know that they're great in a lot of areas either.
- 18:57Speaker 1: They and they could stand to go from being good
- 19:01Speaker 1: too great in a few areas and it's gonna be tough.
- 19:05Speaker 1: I mean now without free agency money, um and I
- 19:08Speaker 1: don't know that they're gonna be able to have high,
- 19:10Speaker 1: high impact free agency in your twenty four and the draft.
- 19:12Speaker 1: And you know, rookies typically don't come in and make
- 19:15Speaker 1: high impact and key defensive positions. So I've been saying
- 19:20Speaker 1: for the last couple of weeks, I think the key
- 19:21Speaker 1: this offseason is going to be Trayvon Walker, Devine Lloyd
- 19:25Speaker 1: or I'm sorry, uh Devin Lloyd and Chad Muma going
- 19:30Speaker 1: from serviceable and taking a year or two jump that
- 19:33Speaker 1: we're talking about on offense. I think those three guys
- 19:36Speaker 1: have to be core impact, scary players next year or
- 19:39Speaker 1: somewhere in the group. Get that kind of thing out
- 19:41Speaker 1: of him. Bucky. Yeah, It's funny when you when you
- 19:45Speaker 1: look at uh this team and you think about all
- 19:49Speaker 1: of it. You know, I think we can talk about
- 19:51Speaker 1: like all of the personnel and all of the things
- 19:55Speaker 1: they want to get done. I think the most important
- 19:57Speaker 1: thing that uh Doug he doesn't have to do with
- 20:00Speaker 1: his team. He has to sit back and really look
- 20:02Speaker 1: at why this team won games, what were the reasons
- 20:06Speaker 1: behind the wins. We know turnovers played a big part.
- 20:09Speaker 1: We know Trevor being able to dialod up and get
- 20:11Speaker 1: hot and key moments played a part. But when you
- 20:14Speaker 1: look at this team, who is chiefly responsible for helping
- 20:17Speaker 1: his team get to the winner circle? And so even
- 20:19Speaker 1: though there's some of the fan favorites that we love,
- 20:22Speaker 1: can we get better in some of these areas? And
- 20:25Speaker 1: sometimes for a team that's having success, it's easy to
- 20:28Speaker 1: get caught up in the emotional part of it. We
- 20:30Speaker 1: need this player because he was a good player for
- 20:32Speaker 1: us in the past, But right now is how can
- 20:35Speaker 1: I get this team to compete with Buffalo Cincinnati in
- 20:39Speaker 1: Kansas City because the road to the super Bowl goes
- 20:42Speaker 1: through those cities. Guys will come back in here from
- 20:45Speaker 1: Frent Balky general manager, our final thoughts as well. We'll
- 20:49Speaker 1: see who's calling John in a moment as well. How
- 20:53Speaker 1: about that it's for you, You're a popular guy people.
- 20:57Speaker 1: For you, I'll transfer the car I love with Bucky
- 21:01Speaker 1: Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network. Cash is more important
- 21:15Speaker 1: than cap. Right there's ways to maneuver that the cap
- 21:19Speaker 1: and there's ways to extend things into the future. But
- 21:23Speaker 1: you also got to be smart and diligent when you're
- 21:25Speaker 1: doing that. So again, we're gonna look at all of
- 21:28Speaker 1: our options. We're gonna beet as a staff tomorrow go
- 21:31Speaker 1: through what we are wish list is. Then we'll sit
- 21:34Speaker 1: down with ownership, will sit down with those that work
- 21:38Speaker 1: on the cap and contracts, will sit down with them,
- 21:41Speaker 1: and we have them, but we'll have a final, final,
- 21:45Speaker 1: final meeting with them to really get the ball rolling
- 21:48Speaker 1: for the future. Trent ball Ky, Jaguars general manager. He
- 21:52Speaker 1: spoke earlier this week and a live look outside of
- 21:56Speaker 1: the Miller Electric Center, just a few months away from
- 22:00Speaker 1: the Jaguars moving into that building, and what a building
- 22:05Speaker 1: it will be. It will be ready for business in
- 22:08Speaker 1: the summertime at some point, and the training camp, we're
- 22:11Speaker 1: told will be right there on those what will be
- 22:13Speaker 1: practice fields a few months down the line. J P. Shaddick,

- 22:56Speaker 1: that's what it's all about, man, that's um. You know,
- 22:59Speaker 1: build it right as you've got to compete against the
- 23:02Speaker 1: division winning teams coming in here. You know it's gonna
- 23:06Speaker 1: be tough. It's gonna be tough skills. It's gonna be
- 23:07Speaker 1: tough sledding for the Jaguars next year if you don't
- 23:11Speaker 1: make significant improvements. And so, because you want the division,
- 23:15Speaker 1: you will play some division winners from other divisions around
- 23:19Speaker 1: the league, and so you have to be ready for it.
- 23:21Speaker 1: And so those teams are going to provide us with
- 23:25Speaker 1: miss tests at various stages of the season to see
- 23:28Speaker 1: exactly where we are, how good the team is. And
- 23:31Speaker 1: everyone has to know that. Now you won't be able
- 23:33Speaker 1: to kind of sneak into the stadium and be the
- 23:35Speaker 1: old uh laughing stock. Now everyone is going to measure
- 23:39Speaker 1: themselves against the Jaguars because they've proven that they can
- 23:42Speaker 1: be a playoff worthy opponent. But they also have a
- 23:45Speaker 1: team that everyone is going to talk about in the
- 23:48Speaker 1: off season. They're gonna talk about Trevor Lawrence being the
- 23:51Speaker 1: next great quarterback and the job that Doug Peterson is done.
- 23:54Speaker 1: And so now the Jaguars have to get ready to
- 23:56Speaker 1: meet that different energy from opponents that come into the bank.
- 24:01Speaker 1: Are you playing Division two football? JP? No, are you
- 24:04Speaker 1: playing college football? It's the NFL and and you know
- 24:09Speaker 1: what you're saying. Um, yeah, I need to tell you
- 24:13Speaker 1: where it should be better. I think the quarterback is
- 24:15Speaker 1: going to be better. Um. I think they were a
- 24:18Speaker 1: better team in the in the second half of the
- 24:20Speaker 1: season and they were the first half. Yeah. I don't
- 24:24Speaker 1: know that they're going to go fourteen and three, but
- 24:26Speaker 1: I think they're more than capable of handling this schedule. Uh,
- 24:31Speaker 1: because I think they'll be a more consistent team next
- 24:34Speaker 1: year than they were this year. That's my early thought.
- 24:37Speaker 1: That's that's good. John Osanlock, how about yeah? Very positive?
- 24:46Speaker 1: Like man, the season is and there's different guys shows up.
- 24:49Speaker 1: I gotta believe in positivity and projecting out and this
- 24:52Speaker 1: team is going to be better, much better than what
- 24:54Speaker 1: they were. You almost said, we're like we are going
- 24:56Speaker 1: to be fourteen and three. I mean I like it.
- 24:59Speaker 1: It's very Yeah, I like that. Yeah. I think they're
- 25:03Speaker 1: gonna be a better team next year. Bucky Pete and
- 25:06Speaker 1: Tony on Monday Night both double locked a division title
- 25:10Speaker 1: and a number one seed next year, number one. Come
- 25:13Speaker 1: on for a number one seed. I got to see
- 25:18Speaker 1: what else we we add to the puzzle. I think
- 25:21Speaker 1: the division, yes, because what you want to do is
- 25:23Speaker 1: you want to look around and see which who has
- 25:25Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the division. Right now, we can
- 25:27Speaker 1: confidently say Trevor Lawrence will be unless there's something crazy
- 25:31Speaker 1: that happens in the off season at the quarterback positions
- 25:34Speaker 1: for those other squads. But yeah, Trevor Lawrence gives you
- 25:37Speaker 1: a chance to win a division, so you can book that. Uh,
- 25:39Speaker 1: the improvements that you have to make Cincinnati, Buffalo, Kansas City,
- 25:44Speaker 1: I mean we've we've seen those teams, and we've seen
- 25:46Speaker 1: those teams how they've been able to go. And you
- 25:49Speaker 1: talk about one the Kancity Chiefs are in their fifth
- 25:52Speaker 1: straight an f C championship game. Uh, the Cincinnati Bengals
- 25:56Speaker 1: had been to two out of the last three with o'
- 26:00Speaker 1: burrow at quarterback. Yeah, this higher mountains to scale before
- 26:05Speaker 1: we can say we can get that number one seed.
- 26:07Speaker 1: All right. Uh, he's tapping the brakes, buck, He's tapping
- 26:10Speaker 1: the brakes a little bit, and that's okay. Hey, coming
