1:02
Speaker 2: the Miller Electric Center. Bucky Brooks with us in Los Angeles.
1:07
Speaker 2: Welcome afternoon, Bucky and a lot of news around here.
1:10
Speaker 2: For a team that's two and six, a lot going on.
1:13
Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot going on. And this happens when the
1:16
Speaker 3: team is not being very successful.
1:18
Speaker 4: Sometimes you have a flurry of moves that designed to
1:21
Speaker 4: kind of have the team forward thinking. With Cam Robinson,
1:25
Speaker 4: it's a little interesting that you move on from him.
1:27
Speaker 4: He's a guy who's been a lifelong Jaguar. You move
1:30
Speaker 4: on to get future compensation twenty twenty sixth seventh round
1:34
Speaker 4: conditional pick, which is a couple of years away, But
1:38
Speaker 4: the main thing is to move and to give him
1:40
Speaker 4: a chance to play and to kind of reset what
1:42
Speaker 4: you're doing in the offensive line room.
1:44
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it's a chance to see Walker little I'm
1:49
Speaker 5: i'll say disappointed, but you're sad to see Cam move on.
1:53
Speaker 5: I mean, he's been around a long time. I liked Cam,
1:56
Speaker 5: a good teammate, played a lot of meaningful football around here.
2:00
Speaker 5: And hope he's a guy that you know, stays connected
2:04
Speaker 5: with the franchise after he's done, you know, because he's
2:07
Speaker 5: a guy who deserves, you know, to be sort of
2:10
Speaker 5: a legacy type player around here. Had a lot of
2:12
Speaker 5: good seasons for a long time. But for right now,
2:16
Speaker 5: let's see what the offensive line looks like without him.
2:17
Speaker 2: Well, you're not gonna miss him long because the Vikings
2:20
Speaker 2: are here next week.
2:20
Speaker 5: Well I'm not crying. I'm just saying it's something that
2:24
Speaker 5: as a franchise, guys like Cam you know, are rare.
2:30
Speaker 5: Eight years a long time to play on one team.
2:32
Speaker 4: That is, yeah, a long time and a lot of
2:36
Speaker 4: times what you're thinking is like we had heard the
2:38
Speaker 4: conversations before about Walker Little and being a little intrigue
2:42
Speaker 4: about Walker Little playing in the starting lineup being a
2:45
Speaker 4: left tackle. In those things Doug Peterson talked about Walker
2:49
Speaker 4: and the press are saying that he's much more comfortable
2:51
Speaker 4: playing tackle than he was at guard, and so to
2:54
Speaker 4: think about him being one of the best five at guard,
2:56
Speaker 4: that was not really what Walker Little. It's kind of
2:59
Speaker 4: best suited for. So we'll get a chance to see him.
3:01
Speaker 4: He also is gonna be a free agent at the
3:03
Speaker 4: end of the year. We'll see what he looks like
3:05
Speaker 4: at what is a premium spot at left ackle and
3:08
Speaker 4: see if he can hold up and be a really
3:10
Speaker 4: good player on the outside.
3:11
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a huge I mean it's if you're Walker Little,
3:14
Speaker 5: this is uh, this is it your career opportunity.
3:18
Speaker 2: I mean it's, oh, yeah, you put out some tape
3:21
Speaker 2: in the next nine games and guess what. And if
3:23
Speaker 2: you're going to the marketplace.
3:25
Speaker 5: And if you don't, then you know, I guess what
3:29
Speaker 5: it's it's uh, put up, shut up.
3:33
Speaker 2: It certainly is. Uh. Let's hear from head coach Doug
3:35
Speaker 2: Peterson today on this time of year how he has
3:39
Speaker 2: to manage the locker room when, yeah, the times are
3:42
Speaker 2: a change.
3:43
Speaker 6: In this time of year, guys get nervous. You know,
3:49
Speaker 6: trade deadlines next Tuesday, right, and and we've already seen
3:52
Speaker 6: it around the league. You know, some some top guys.
3:55
Speaker 6: I mean you look at Devanta Adams and Mary Cooper
3:58
Speaker 6: and you know d Hop guys like that. I mean,
4:01
Speaker 6: it's the way the way the league is, way our
4:03
Speaker 6: business is, and and you know, teams are always making
4:07
Speaker 6: those types of decisions. So I I do feel an
4:09
Speaker 6: obligation to kind of ease the mind of the players
4:14
Speaker 6: and and just say, guys, just let's just continue to
4:16
Speaker 6: work and build. Don't control, only control what you can control,
4:21
Speaker 6: and that's your job. And and don't worry about don't
4:24
Speaker 6: worry about the other.
4:25
Speaker 2: That's the head coaches approach in the locker room. Just
4:28
Speaker 2: a few minutes ago, we caught up with Walker Little
4:31
Speaker 2: and he'll be the starting left tackle moving forward. A
4:34
Speaker 2: huge opportunity for him down the stretch.
4:37
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean it's obviously a great opportunity to go
4:39
Speaker 7: out there and uh be able to play and uh
4:41
Speaker 7: play meaningful football against some really good teams that we
4:44
Speaker 7: have coming up, and just excited and grateful for the opportunity.
4:47
Speaker 2: So we'll see what he has to offer at the
4:49
Speaker 2: left tackle position moving ahead, and hey, that's uh, that's
4:53
Speaker 2: the name of the game. We'll see. And then of course, uh,
4:57
Speaker 2: we can talk about the off season and the off season.
5:00
Speaker 2: There's a lot of that stuff coming up, a lot
5:01
Speaker 2: of football left to be played this year.
5:03
Speaker 5: Well, I think what's significant is, you know, you were
5:06
Speaker 5: exceptionally deep at left tackle, and you know what happens
5:10
Speaker 5: when you lose guys, you're not deep anymore. So now
5:15
Speaker 5: cole Van Lannon will be the swing tackle. I kind
5:18
Speaker 5: of wonder moving forward if at some point this season,
5:22
Speaker 5: if you don't want to get cole Van Lannon in
5:23
Speaker 5: there somewhere, you know, just he had I guess JP
5:27
Speaker 5: the greatest preseason in NFL history. This I'll see because
5:32
Speaker 5: it's all you saw. It's all you saw on Twitter
5:34
Speaker 5: for three days was Colvan Land. I thought they were
5:36
Speaker 5: going to make a bust so but kidding aside, I
5:42
Speaker 5: just love Twitter with pff Right, but the kidding aside.
5:46
Speaker 5: You know, do you at some point, Bucky Anton Harrison
5:51
Speaker 5: I think is probably left tackle in the future. You know,
5:54
Speaker 5: do you at some point get looks or do you
5:58
Speaker 5: just assume that plays out within injuries. I'm just putting
6:04
Speaker 5: it out there for the analyst, slash scout, slash broadcaster.
6:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I'm curious about a lot of this. Right.
6:11
Speaker 4: So, some would say that last year there were conversations
6:15
Speaker 4: about making this move where Walker Little would go in
6:18
Speaker 4: at right tackle, Anton Harrison would move to left tackle,
6:21
Speaker 4: but it never materialized. And some of that was due
6:23
Speaker 4: to the sellary cap being much bigger than many expected,
6:28
Speaker 4: and so you were able.
6:28
Speaker 3: To keep all the pieces of the pulsar together. Now
6:31
Speaker 3: what you want to do is you want to give
6:32
Speaker 3: walk a little a real evaluation.
6:34
Speaker 4: Struggled early against the Packers, settled in and played okay
6:37
Speaker 4: the last three quarters of the game. Covid landon, You're right,
6:42
Speaker 4: a preseason legend. Someone that you would like to see
6:46
Speaker 4: have an opportunity to get in game. We're not hoping
6:49
Speaker 4: for an injury, but if he does happen to get
6:52
Speaker 4: an opportunity to get into game, you shouldn't be excited
6:54
Speaker 4: about it because you want to see if his preseason
6:57
Speaker 4: performance translate and direct the season in production.
7:01
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, and again, we have time to know
7:03
Speaker 5: about the off season. But you know you're two and six,
7:05
Speaker 5: so I'll talk about the off season. If you like
7:11
Speaker 5: Anton Harrison, keep it right tackle, If if Walker Little
7:15
Speaker 5: plays lights out and somewhere you get a chance at
7:18
Speaker 5: Cole Van Lannon, maybe you don't have to address that
7:20
Speaker 5: spot in the off season. You know, I right now
7:23
Speaker 5: I would think you have to draft tackle somewhere or
7:26
Speaker 5: but maybe not. So it's interesting that you have those
7:32
Speaker 5: spots in place, and I think at some point you
7:35
Speaker 5: would like to see if how you project is real
7:41
Speaker 5: because last year, think about it, you heard these things
7:43
Speaker 5: about Ventrel Miller and Cooper Hodges but never got on
7:46
Speaker 5: the field, so you really had to make moves where
7:48
Speaker 5: you couldn't just get those guys in. You would like
7:52
Speaker 5: with Van Lannon to actually see him on the field,
7:54
Speaker 5: so you know, if you need to make a move
7:55
Speaker 5: there or not, so you.
7:58
Speaker 2: Haven't the trade now made a fish by press release
8:01
Speaker 2: about five eight minutes ago that Cam Robinson is now
8:06
Speaker 2: a member of the Minnesota Vikings. Let's come back in
8:08
Speaker 2: a moment. We'll take our final look at the Packers
8:10
Speaker 2: game thirty to twenty seven. You were there, John, I
8:14
Speaker 2: was there, but he was there, enjoyed that game. It
8:16
Speaker 2: was good at the out till the very end.
8:18
Speaker 5: Yeah, it wasn't a good game as some games on.
8:21
Speaker 2: We'll review it and a little later we'll look ahead
8:23
Speaker 2: to the Eagles and some of the matchups against especially
8:25
Speaker 2: the Eagles running attack this week and we were often
8:29
Speaker 2: running its huddle up with Bucky Brooks.
8:37
Speaker 7: I will say Walker's done a great job. I'm excited
8:40
Speaker 7: for this opportunity for him. He's played great when he's
8:42
Speaker 7: had the opportunity. In the last few years. He's been
8:44
Speaker 7: putting some tough spots. He's had to play a lot
8:46
Speaker 7: of different positions. He's had to come in in twenty
8:48
Speaker 7: two when Cam got hurt, he had to come in
8:50
Speaker 7: and finish the season when we were on that run,
8:52
Speaker 7: and we didn't skip a beat because he was prepared
8:55
Speaker 7: and he prepared every day like a starter, and so
8:57
Speaker 7: he's been ready for his opportunities and that's that's not
8:59
Speaker 7: easy to do when you're not the full time guy.
9:01
Speaker 7: And now that he's getting that opportunity, I'm excited for him.
9:04
Speaker 7: So I think it's like there's always two sides to it,
9:07
Speaker 7: and it's tough, but obviously, like Walker, like I said,
9:11
Speaker 7: he's more than ready and he's done a great job
9:13
Speaker 7: and I'm excited for him. We got all the faith
9:14
Speaker 7: in the world and he's played great so far.
9:16
Speaker 2: That's the quarterback of Gorse Trevor Lawrence. The full press
9:19
Speaker 2: conference from today available at Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars
9:22
Speaker 2: YouTube and welcome back it suddle up with Bucky Brooks
9:25
Speaker 2: ahead of the Jaguars Eagles matchup this Sunday at Lincoln
9:28
Speaker 2: Financial Field. We'll get to some of those matchups coming
9:31
Speaker 2: up shortly, JP Shadrick, John Ozer and Jacksonville, Bucky Brooks
9:35
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles, and our final look at this Packers
9:39
Speaker 2: Jaguars matchup that featured two different ten point deficits for
9:43
Speaker 2: the Jaguars. They came back from each of them. They
9:45
Speaker 2: took the lead after the first one and then down
9:48
Speaker 2: ten early in the fourth quarter, fought back with all
9:51
Speaker 2: these guys on the sideline, top three receivers are out,
9:54
Speaker 2: left guards out. I mean, it's chaos. And Trevor Lawrence,
9:58
Speaker 2: the guy he just saw there, leads him down the field.
10:01
Speaker 2: He's throwing a two tight ends and get the game
10:04
Speaker 2: tying touchdown. Great moment, but yet again the pass defense
10:08
Speaker 2: fails this team. Bucky and a big play sets up
10:11
Speaker 2: the game winning field goal. But overall, where are you
10:15
Speaker 2: feeling about the effort that was shown in that game?
10:20
Speaker 3: I get the Jet Wars credit for playing hard.
10:22
Speaker 4: I give them credit for having resilience and toughness to
10:26
Speaker 4: bounce back from ten point depthices twice to get back
10:30
Speaker 4: in the game. I love all of that stuff, the
10:33
Speaker 4: energy to effort, all that, But at some point, man,
10:35
Speaker 4: the execution has to reach a level where we can
10:37
Speaker 4: win games. And we're talking about the same things over
10:41
Speaker 4: and over and over again through eight games that we've
10:42
Speaker 4: talked about since the beginning. Turnovers, pre snap penalties, blown assignments,
10:49
Speaker 4: and miss tackling. The Jaguars will not win and win
10:53
Speaker 4: consistently until they clean up those areas.
10:55
Speaker 3: And it's a shame.
10:57
Speaker 4: But I feel like this team has wasted a good
10:59
Speaker 4: portion of the season on things that were self inflicted,
11:03
Speaker 4: not because of.
11:04
Speaker 3: What the opponent did.
11:06
Speaker 4: And the tragedy of the season is you're gonna look
11:08
Speaker 4: at the end of the season be on the outside
11:10
Speaker 4: looking in because you didn't take care of the little
11:12
Speaker 4: details that leads to win and get a high level.
11:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, that's it in a nutshell. You have
11:19
Speaker 5: struggled this season. You're two and six and somewhat because
11:24
Speaker 5: of some really major deficiencies, meaning the pass defense has
11:28
Speaker 5: been bad in spots and I'll be able to get
11:30
Speaker 5: pressure on the quarterback. But had you been on details
11:37
Speaker 5: in these four close losses, you probably squeeze out two
11:41
Speaker 5: of those, and you're four and four, and you don't
11:44
Speaker 5: feel like it's over. A lot of teams sort of
11:46
Speaker 5: tread water when they are struggling early and trying to
11:50
Speaker 5: figure stuff out. My theme after Sunday's game was such
11:54
Speaker 5: a shame because you don't feel like this is a
11:58
Speaker 5: disastrous roster. You don't feel like it's incapable of winning,
12:03
Speaker 5: but you feel like in the last four games, right
12:05
Speaker 5: jp they've played you know one, two, I had a
12:09
Speaker 5: chance to beat a good Packers team awful against the Bears,
12:13
Speaker 5: but if you'd gotten a couple of these that you
12:15
Speaker 5: probably should have gotten, you still feel like you're in it.
12:18
Speaker 5: And even the other day, what a shame to have
12:23
Speaker 5: that Trevor Lawrence effort at the end. And I know
12:26
Speaker 5: he cost them twice, but what an effort in those
12:30
Speaker 5: last two drives. I thought the best two drives of
12:32
Speaker 5: his career in the clutch, maybe in those last two
12:35
Speaker 5: drives the other day, but didn't really have a chance
12:39
Speaker 5: to close it, so it won't be remembered. And it's
12:44
Speaker 5: a shame that they're at two and six right now
12:46
Speaker 5: because they don't have to be.
12:47
Speaker 2: And then you had guys making place for them down
12:49
Speaker 2: the field and both of those drives, I mean Brenton Strange,
12:52
Speaker 2: of course, I hav an Ingram with the touchdown there.
12:54
Speaker 2: I mean Tim Jones is out there. I mean they
12:56
Speaker 2: they've got two tight ends on the field for every snap.
12:59
Speaker 5: Was all the resilience you've been talking about want to
13:02
Speaker 5: see all season. It was the you know, we've been
13:07
Speaker 5: waiting for what three years for Trevor to lift, right.
13:10
Speaker 5: I thought he lifted late in that game. For whatever
13:14
Speaker 5: else he didn't do before that he lifted them. Had
13:17
Speaker 5: a moment where had they tied it and won that
13:21
Speaker 5: you'd been talking about. Comeback Trevor in that moment and
13:27
Speaker 5: didn't get a chance to feel that, Bucky.
13:29
Speaker 3: No, I didn't get a chance to feel it.
13:30
Speaker 4: And you know, I felt like this was a game
13:33
Speaker 4: like the Packers game going into it, that this was
13:35
Speaker 4: gonna be a measuring stick game. The Packers are a
13:37
Speaker 4: playoff team. The Packers have been good for a long time.
13:40
Speaker 4: They do it the right way in terms of their
13:41
Speaker 4: homegrown process, and to me, this was a game that
13:45
Speaker 4: not only would allow the Jaguars to measure themselves up
13:47
Speaker 4: against the playoff team, but it would give them the
13:49
Speaker 4: kind of momentum that you need to have if you're
13:51
Speaker 4: gonna go on a playoff run. And I go back
13:54
Speaker 4: and I look through my notes at the game, and
13:56
Speaker 4: I see just a bunch of pre snap penalties, a
13:59
Speaker 4: bunch of false or Tim Jones at two false starts,
14:02
Speaker 4: Gabe Davis, Luke Ferrell, like just so many penalties that
14:07
Speaker 4: should never really happen in a pro game in terms
14:10
Speaker 4: of just being able to go on the snap count.
14:12
Speaker 3: Then you have a defensive delay, a game that was costly.
14:15
Speaker 4: I mean, look, they eventually got the same points that
14:18
Speaker 4: they got, but just so many times that we're looking
14:22
Speaker 4: at a game where you have a lot of really
14:24
Speaker 4: heroic performances and things that you like, but it's overshadowed
14:29
Speaker 4: by just the self inflicted mistakes and I just don't
14:33
Speaker 4: know how you fix them. Like Doug Peterson can scream
14:36
Speaker 4: and holiday can run laps and up downs and all
14:39
Speaker 4: the other stuff that coaches trying to do to make
14:41
Speaker 4: it stick when it comes to like not doing those things.
14:45
Speaker 4: But at some point, man, the players have got to
14:48
Speaker 4: take ownership of the lack of execution and some simple
14:53
Speaker 4: areas that are costing the team games week after week
14:55
Speaker 4: after week.
14:56
Speaker 5: And now we also talk jp about missed opportunities. I
14:59
Speaker 5: thought the whole first quarter was a major missed opportunity.
15:04
Speaker 5: You pin them on the two, you pin them on
15:05
Speaker 5: the seven, and you trade nothing. Yeah, I mean it's nothing.
15:12
Speaker 5: It's not a field position league anymore. Back in the
15:16
Speaker 5: in the forties, you you know, used to play for
15:19
Speaker 5: field position and punting. But in that game, you got
15:21
Speaker 5: field position that you expected to make the Packers play
15:25
Speaker 5: uphill and instead, after all that momentum, you're the one
15:29
Speaker 5: playing uphill in the second half. The second quarter. I
15:31
Speaker 5: thought the first quarter and a half were major missed
15:34
Speaker 5: opportunities to be way up, to be in control, to
15:38
Speaker 5: have you know, chains and scoreboard in your favor, and
15:42
Speaker 5: they didn't do it. And I was surprised, frankly after that,
15:46
Speaker 5: uh that they got back in it, because I figured,
15:48
Speaker 5: after you waste those opportunities, I figured it would be
15:50
Speaker 5: a lot. I really did, and credit to him for
15:54
Speaker 5: not but you still missed opportunities.
15:55
Speaker 2: They missed them. It costs him late and the Jaguars
15:58
Speaker 2: fall to two and six, and we're back in a
16:01
Speaker 2: moment to look ahead. We're putting that one behind us.
16:04
Speaker 2: We're heading to South Philly. Are on deck, you're going again. Yeah,
16:12
Speaker 2: team's got to go. That's what's coming up. We'll preview
16:15
Speaker 2: that matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Jags fans on customized

16:28
Speaker 2: It's unluck with Bucky Brooks.
16:36
Speaker 6: The challenge obviously is is you know the ability to
16:40
Speaker 6: to create plays, you know, the ones that aren't there,
16:42
Speaker 6: and he makes them. He's really good outside the pocket.
16:47
Speaker 6: He's tough to bring down, he's strong, powerful, you know,
16:53
Speaker 6: and he's improved so much in the passing game too,
16:56
Speaker 6: you know. And he's got obviously got some weapons around him,
17:00
Speaker 6: you know. And it's just again another player that is
17:04
Speaker 6: is playing with confidence.
17:05
Speaker 3: You know.
17:06
Speaker 6: Again, they're they're kind of catching their stride from early
17:08
Speaker 6: in the season, you know, when they had a couple
17:10
Speaker 6: couple losses there. But he makes it go, you know, offensively.
17:17
Speaker 2: Coach Doug Peterson earlier today on Jalen Hurts the Eagles
17:21
Speaker 2: quarterback and welcome back. It's out of love with Bucky Brooks,
17:24
Speaker 2: Jake Shatter, John Ozer, and Jacksonville. Bucky out in Los
17:27
Speaker 2: Angeles the Jaguars and the Eagles four or five kickoff time,
17:30
Speaker 2: Lincoln Financial Field in Week nine, and let's start there,
17:35
Speaker 2: Bucky with his Eagles team on offense, with the quarterback
17:38
Speaker 2: Hurts and his ability in the read option run game.
17:43
Speaker 2: And I guess Saquon Barkley can fit in anywhere in
17:47
Speaker 2: the league, but he fits in really well in Philadelphia.
17:50
Speaker 4: It feels like, yeah, he's been a nice fit and
17:53
Speaker 4: he's automatically come over and been their best player. And
17:57
Speaker 4: what Saquon Barkley has done is presence has made the game.
18:01
Speaker 3: Easier for Jalen Hurts.
18:02
Speaker 8: When you're able to run the football and run the
18:04
Speaker 8: football effectively with a workhorse running back like a Sakuon Barkley,
18:08
Speaker 8: it changes the way that you have to defend the
18:10
Speaker 8: Philly That for Eagles, instead of sitting in to I
18:12
Speaker 8: shell thinking past first, run, second, you now have the
18:16
Speaker 8: respects ak one enough that you have to change your look.
18:19
Speaker 4: That creates more big play opportunities on the outside the
18:21
Speaker 4: AJ Brown and Devin Smith. It's just a matter of
18:24
Speaker 4: the quarterback Jalen Hurts being all saved on the same
18:27
Speaker 4: page with the perimeterive players, but also being on the
18:30
Speaker 4: same page with Saquon Barkley, because if they mastered at
18:33
Speaker 4: Reid option element and the ball handling and all the
18:35
Speaker 4: other stuff that comes along with that, it's gonna be very,
18:38
Speaker 4: very difficult to stop the fielding that for Eagles offense.
18:40
Speaker 5: Yeah, this team in a sense did what the Jaguars
18:42
Speaker 5: wanted to do. They went out in the off season
18:46
Speaker 5: and they retooled what was believed to be a pretty
18:50
Speaker 5: good team to start at the end of last year,
18:52
Speaker 5: and they sort of treaded water a little bit start
18:56
Speaker 5: the season, and now they're getting hot. They're figuring it out.
19:00
Speaker 5: They know what they want to be. They made a
19:02
Speaker 5: lot of moves and Sakwon Barkley being the biggest, but
19:05
Speaker 5: they still have a lot of the elements when they
19:06
Speaker 5: were really good in twenty two. So they feel like
19:10
Speaker 5: a team to me that is ascending. This is a really,
19:14
Speaker 5: really tough to a tough game for the Jags because
19:19
Speaker 5: the Eagles are contending. They're going to be focused. They
19:23
Speaker 5: know they can't slip up. They're half game behind Washington.
19:26
Speaker 5: They're focused there at home. I wish I could feel
19:30
Speaker 5: good about this for the Jags. I think this is
19:32
Speaker 5: a really tall order for a Jags team that's beat up.
19:35
Speaker 5: But the Eagles are finding themselves and they believe they're contenders.
19:40
Speaker 2: And Bucky there's still a real physical group up front
19:42
Speaker 2: on the offensive line, even with Kelsey gone. I'm sure.
19:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, they're still very formidable.
19:48
Speaker 4: They are a team that prides themselves on their trench
19:51
Speaker 4: play offensive line. Defensive line has always been a priority.
19:54
Speaker 4: They commit top draft picks to guys that play at
19:57
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage because they know that that is
19:59
Speaker 4: the way.
20:00
Speaker 3: To control and dominate the game.
20:01
Speaker 4: But when you think about what they're able to do
20:03
Speaker 4: with at the line of scrimmage combined with what they're
20:06
Speaker 4: able to do on the perimeter, too high priced wide
20:08
Speaker 4: receivers that can share the marquee as number one wide receivers,
20:12
Speaker 4: explosive running back that is one of the best in
20:15
Speaker 4: the game. Former Offensive Rookie of the Year, a guy
20:17
Speaker 4: who can do anything and everything at a position ti
20:20
Speaker 4: the neck and control in Dallas Goddard.
20:22
Speaker 3: Look, this team is a juggernaut.
20:24
Speaker 4: If we were playing a video game, one of the
20:25
Speaker 4: first teams that you go and grab for the phil
20:27
Speaker 4: DeFi Eagles because their offense is so high powered. If
20:30
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurst is on his game as a passer, to
20:33
Speaker 4: go with what he has as a runner, it's nearly
20:36
Speaker 4: impossible to defend this offense.
20:38
Speaker 3: And then short.
20:39
Speaker 2: Yardage oh boy, yeah, fush play and everything that comes
20:41
Speaker 2: with that.
20:42
Speaker 5: And he's reduced his turnovers. They struggle when he's turning
20:46
Speaker 5: the ball over. I think he had twenty last year
20:48
Speaker 5: with the number and he's got much less that. I'm
20:51
Speaker 5: not sure what it is, but a lot less than
20:53
Speaker 5: that this year, So they're playing smart. I always talk
20:57
Speaker 5: jp about teams that know what they want to be
21:00
Speaker 5: and that play well. When this team knows what it
21:03
Speaker 5: wants to be and it's playing to that. The Titans
21:06
Speaker 5: used to be that way when they were good. You
21:08
Speaker 5: knew they wanted to play a certain way and they
21:10
Speaker 5: knew how to get there. This team knows how to play.
21:13
Speaker 5: This team knows how to play the way it wants
21:16
Speaker 5: to play, and it makes them very, very dangerous as
21:19
Speaker 5: you get into November because they're pretty healthy.
21:20
Speaker 2: Let's flip it around to the other side of here,
21:22
Speaker 2: Bucky and the Eagles defense against this Jaguars offense, and
21:27
Speaker 2: it's an Eagles defensive ranks in the top ten and
21:30
Speaker 2: most metrics around the NFL except takeaways. They don't take
21:34
Speaker 2: it away too much, only four on the year, but
21:37
Speaker 2: they are strong, solid at least everywhere else. There's about
21:40
Speaker 2: ten million Georgia players on this team, and yeah, they
21:44
Speaker 2: know how to go get them out of Athens. But overall,
21:46
Speaker 2: even outside of that, it's a group to spit at
21:49
Speaker 2: it for a minute.
21:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, a group has been at it for a minute.
21:52
Speaker 4: But more important, it comes down to the puppet master,
21:55
Speaker 4: and that is Big Banjo.
21:56
Speaker 3: Big Banjo does a great job organizing and said defense.
22:00
Speaker 4: He wants to play too high shell, but what he
22:03
Speaker 4: wants to do is play like a little bit of
22:05
Speaker 4: what we call a match coverage, where it is almost
22:07
Speaker 4: like a hybrid man de Man thinks Syracuse two three
22:12
Speaker 4: zone from Jim Beheim in terms of the way that
22:14
Speaker 4: they can give you problems and can found the offense
22:17
Speaker 4: with the way they pass off and switch things in
22:20
Speaker 4: the secondary and then up front.
22:22
Speaker 3: Man, they got some big, big dudes that can get
22:24
Speaker 3: after it.
22:24
Speaker 4: Jalen Carter is someone that you have to worry about
22:26
Speaker 4: play the Georgia has disruptive skills and really just a
22:30
Speaker 4: dominant presence at the point of attack. The thing that
22:34
Speaker 4: they don't do yet, they haven't turned it over. They
22:36
Speaker 4: haven't been able to get the tips and overthrows that
22:38
Speaker 4: lead to interceptions.
22:40
Speaker 3: But what they have done is they fix the leaky
22:42
Speaker 3: run defense.
22:43
Speaker 4: They don't give up a lot of big pays on
22:45
Speaker 4: the perimeter, and they're going to make you drive.
22:47
Speaker 3: The length of the field while getting beat up.
22:49
Speaker 4: Really sound hiss, very fundamentally sound squad. That's one of
22:53
Speaker 4: the reasons why they're in the top ten in so
22:55
Speaker 4: many different defensive categories.
22:57
Speaker 5: Trying hard not to be pessimistic going to the jp
23:01
Speaker 5: vic's defenses aren't usually very, very very low in takeaways.
23:07
Speaker 5: That number is going to come around. Considering the way
23:11
Speaker 5: that I expect this game to be played, which is
23:12
Speaker 5: the Eagles being very methodical offensively. What the Jaguars, I
23:17
Speaker 5: think are you have to watch in the second half
23:19
Speaker 5: is not getting desperate, not playing into the way the
23:23
Speaker 5: Eagles want to play, because I think at easent chance
23:28
Speaker 5: you'll be trailing in the second half, not big, but
23:31
Speaker 5: you know, close. And when the Eagles start getting their
23:34
Speaker 5: way in this game, which I expect them to feel
23:38
Speaker 5: like they're like they're doing, then you have to watch
23:42
Speaker 5: having a little bit of an avalanche in the third quarter.
23:45
Speaker 2: What about upfront? You mentioned one of those names up
23:48
Speaker 2: front for the Eagles, but the matchup for the Jaguars
23:50
Speaker 2: interior offensive line, especially with maybe a new left guarden
23:54
Speaker 2: there and obviously a new left tackle. He's been there
23:57
Speaker 2: for a couple of weeks, but some changes up for
24:00
Speaker 2: a group that's big and physical against them.
24:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, this group is big and physical.
24:07
Speaker 4: They commit a lot of bodies to the rotation and
24:09
Speaker 4: so they're gonna test your stamina. They're gonna test your
24:12
Speaker 4: ability to respond at a high level over and over
24:14
Speaker 4: and over again. With so many changes going on for
24:18
Speaker 4: the Jaguars, like, it's gonna be tough.
24:19
Speaker 3: Walker Little has to kind of settle in.
24:20
Speaker 4: You got to continue to get the nonverbal communication right.
24:23
Speaker 4: You also have to have the chemistry and the connectivity
24:26
Speaker 4: right where you can feel well when someone's in the stress,
24:29
Speaker 4: when you need to help them, and those things. It's
24:31
Speaker 4: gonna be a tough job because the Eagles are gonna
24:33
Speaker 4: play hard.
24:35
Speaker 3: They've up the anti when it comes to the energy level.
24:37
Speaker 4: Each week, Big Fangiol you can tell, is really pushing
24:40
Speaker 4: them to kind of max out and Ring got all
24:43
Speaker 4: the talent that they have.
24:44
Speaker 3: It's a really good group.
24:45
Speaker 4: And when you think about defenses that play well, gap discipline,
24:50
Speaker 4: excellent in pursuit, great tacklers, and an overall understanding of
24:54
Speaker 4: situational awareness, Eagles.
24:57
Speaker 3: Check off all those boxes. Like their defense that could
24:59
Speaker 3: get better and better the stretch.
25:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think what I did at poor job of
25:02
Speaker 5: an unciating a second ago. With the Jaguars receivers, you
25:05
Speaker 5: have a new receiver in Parker, Washington. You're not quite
25:09
Speaker 5: sure how Gabe, I mean Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas Jr.
25:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were both wearing the non contact Dursey. Yeah.
25:15
Speaker 5: Practice, and then you get into a situation where there's
25:18
Speaker 5: some strain in the second half. If there's younger receivers
25:24
Speaker 5: in that bunch, they have to be very, very cautious
25:26
Speaker 5: to being on the same page and not falling into turnovers.
25:29
Speaker 5: I guess is what I was trying to get at earlier.
25:32
Speaker 5: I just think turnovers. Protecting the ball is always critical.
25:38
Speaker 5: I think it's gonna be very difficult and very critical
25:40
Speaker 5: on Sunday.
25:42
Speaker 4: The more factor turnovers. You gotta take care of the ball.
25:45
Speaker 4: I remember the last time we played there, all the
25:47
Speaker 4: pumbos that Triver had in the rain. Hopefully we don't
25:49
Speaker 4: have those issues. Hopefully it's a clear day and we're
25:52
Speaker 4: able to kind of like play our game. But it's
25:54
Speaker 4: something that he has to be aware of everyone touching the.
25:57
Speaker 3: Rockets to be aware of.
25:58
Speaker 4: Now more than ever, people are seeking out the ball.
26:01
Speaker 4: I've never seen so many people aggressively punching your balls.
26:06
Speaker 2: Thanks Peanut, Tilman, appreciate that great.
26:09
Speaker 3: It's true, surefall, surefall JP.
26:11
Speaker 4: You worked with him, did some stuff with him, and
26:13
Speaker 4: so now he's spread the gospel throughout the league about
26:16
Speaker 4: how to create turnovers.
26:17
Speaker 2: Oh, you should have seen him about jump out of
26:19
Speaker 2: the booths when the balls on the ground. I mean,
26:21
Speaker 2: I mean that's how he Yeah, it kind of started
26:24
Speaker 2: with him.
26:24
Speaker 3: Really, it's an obsession, JP.
26:27
Speaker 4: Like if we're ever at the bar watching a lovely game,
26:30
Speaker 4: sometimes when the ball comes out, I just naturally yell.
26:34
Speaker 3: It's just one of those things that come out.
26:35
Speaker 9: So I'm sure when you were beside Peanut and Peanuts
26:38
Speaker 9: saw the ball, I'm sure he probably yelled at because
26:41
Speaker 9: it's one of the things that you do when you're
26:43
Speaker 9: obsessed with creating and getting turnovers.
26:46
Speaker 2: It's gone around the league like wildfire. For sure, let's
26:50
Speaker 2: come back. We'll get a final thoughts ahead of the
26:52
Speaker 2: Jaguars Eagles match up. It's huddle up with Bucky Brooks.
26:59
Speaker 7: Both coach defense.
27:01
Speaker 3: They know what to do.
27:02
Speaker 7: Everything looks the same, really good disguises. It all comes
27:04
Speaker 7: out of this shell and then at the snap it
27:06
Speaker 7: changes and they do a good job of the guys
27:09
Speaker 7: disguising some pressures. They mix the fronts up you know,
27:13
Speaker 7: it's not a they don't. It's not a group that
27:14
Speaker 7: pressure is a ton necessarily. They just seems like they
27:16
Speaker 7: do at the right time. They're on the same page.
27:18
Speaker 7: They really stress your protections. When they do, they like
27:21
Speaker 7: to get one on ones up front. You know this
27:24
Speaker 7: this D line is a really good group, so they
27:27
Speaker 7: play to their strengths and then the guys in the
27:29
Speaker 7: back end they fly around. These backers are really physical,
27:33
Speaker 7: very physical, and then the back end is smart and
27:37
Speaker 7: they got good ball skills and they're all playing together.
27:39
Speaker 7: So I think you see their defense every week you
27:41
Speaker 7: watch the season, they've gotten better and better every week.
27:44
Speaker 2: That's the Trevor Lawrence scouting report on the Eagles defense
27:47
Speaker 2: and welcome back and huddle up with Bucky Brooks Shapey
27:50
Speaker 2: Shattick with John Ozer from the middle of Electric Center
27:53
Speaker 2: the Hundai Studios Bucky Brooks in Los Angeles and the
27:58
Speaker 2: Jaguars at two and in six the Eagles five and
28:03
Speaker 2: two in the year. They've had a buy already. They
28:04
Speaker 2: were two and two to start the season and then
28:07
Speaker 2: had a bye week and they've won three straight. Coming
28:09
Speaker 2: in it'll be obviously a raucous environment. Always is in
28:13
Speaker 2: Philadelphia four or five kickoff time might feel a little
28:16
Speaker 2: bit like London. Temperature should be about fifty eight degrees
28:19
Speaker 2: by kickoff. Bugis so I wear that ski cap on
28:23
Speaker 2: the field.
28:26
Speaker 3: Everybody a JP.
28:27
Speaker 4: I would prefer Senny skies in those things. But look,
28:31
Speaker 4: it's it's gonna be a little chilly as long as
28:32
Speaker 4: it's not wet like it was when we went up
28:34
Speaker 4: there a few years ago. I can deal with the cold.
28:37
Speaker 4: I just don't want to deal with the rain and
28:40
Speaker 4: watching treble lars have to deal with the wet ball.
28:42
Speaker 3: We want to avoid that. We want perfect weather, even
28:44
Speaker 3: though it may be a little.
28:45
Speaker 2: Chilly, partly cloudy. I mean the low temperatures thirty seven,
28:48
Speaker 2: the high sixty, so it's gonna be going back down
28:50
Speaker 2: as the sun as the goal goes along.
28:52
Speaker 5: I can handle a bucket Brooks skull cap. I mean
28:55
Speaker 5: this week, Well, I looked on the website and saw
28:57
Speaker 5: it after the London game. I started laughing.
29:00
Speaker 9: It was.
29:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was actually nice in London.
29:06
Speaker 5: No, no, no, the tundra froz.
29:12
Speaker 3: A little, the little a little ball dome.
29:14
Speaker 4: It was a little chili down there, and and and
29:17
Speaker 4: so we want to make sure that.
29:19
Speaker 3: You can't let equipment beat you. So I want to
29:21
Speaker 3: make sure that I'm fully equipped. Up.
29:22
Speaker 4: I'm glad you gave me the little weather report. I
29:25
Speaker 4: can pack my bag my bag accordingly, and make sure
29:28
Speaker 4: I have my my rain gear with.
29:31
Speaker 2: No rain in the forest rain. I mean, this is
29:34
Speaker 2: John over here, laughing with a full head of hair.
29:36
Speaker 2: US two ball guys. I mean we have to prepare for.
29:40
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's huge, huge issue. You gotta be gotta be
29:43
Speaker 3: ready for it.
29:45
Speaker 5: Sunday tough task.
29:46
Speaker 2: What do you think, Bucky about this game?
29:49
Speaker 3: Look, man, it's gonna be a tough one. It's gonna
29:51
Speaker 3: be a tough one.
29:51
Speaker 4: But I'm gonna say this, like any given Sunday in
29:54
Speaker 4: the National Football League, we see things happen all the time.
29:57
Speaker 3: The league is built for it to be a one
29:58
Speaker 3: score league.
29:59
Speaker 4: And I would just love to see the Jaguars not
30:02
Speaker 4: beat themselves and see what the game looks like when
30:05
Speaker 4: they don't give the ball away on turnovers, They don't
30:08
Speaker 4: give away free yards and scoring opportunities on pre snapper
30:12
Speaker 4: foolish penalties. They don't blow coverage where guys are running
30:16
Speaker 4: Scott free in the secondary.
30:18
Speaker 3: They make people drive the length of the field and
30:20
Speaker 3: just make them make plays.
30:23
Speaker 4: I would just like to see us play like that,
30:25
Speaker 4: and I could live with the result either way, because
30:27
Speaker 4: we're not gonna win and win consistently until we eliminate
30:31
Speaker 4: the dbos that don't beat ourselves things and then begin to,
30:36
Speaker 4: you know, showcase some of the talent that we have,
30:38
Speaker 4: even though we will be shorthanded.
30:40
Speaker 3: In this game.
30:40
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's a game where I have to
30:45
Speaker 5: assume the Jaguars will come in hyper focused, knowing that
30:49
Speaker 5: they are down, meaning you've got some guys down. Christian's
30:54
Speaker 5: not there. There has to be an element of, hey,
30:57
Speaker 5: we you know, Theose are really good. If we don't
30:59
Speaker 5: play well, they could get ugly like there's But if
31:03
Speaker 5: they do play well, then you can be on point.
31:07
Speaker 5: You can make it mistakes, you can stay in this thing.
31:09
Speaker 5: They have the guys to make the place they showed
31:12
Speaker 5: last week. They have a fight. It just has to be.
31:15
Speaker 5: You can't. So many times a season Buckises alluded to it,
31:19
Speaker 5: so many times they have all of a sudden, you're
31:21
Speaker 5: in second and fourteen for no reason, you know, and
31:24
Speaker 5: second and fourteen you're playing against the sticks. It's hard
31:26
Speaker 5: to pick that up. Stop making it so difficult on yourself.
31:30
Speaker 5: So I'm with Bucky. That's what I'm watching for. If
31:32
Speaker 5: they do that, you can stay in these games. But
31:35
Speaker 5: if you don't do that in a situation like this,
31:37
Speaker 5: it gets away from me in a hurry. So that's
31:39
