0:49
Speaker 1: here we heard from Doug Peterson and Trevor Lawrence earlier today.
0:54
Speaker 1: The locker room was just open a few moments ago.
0:57
Speaker 1: We'll get our thoughts John and I from some common
1:00
Speaker 1: stations in there this afternoon and social media question or
1:03
Speaker 1: so a little bit later. Hi. Name of the show again,
1:07
Speaker 1: It's Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks. It's like this summer
1:10
Speaker 1: with the Hall of Fame. Didn't did Tony actually get in?
1:13
Speaker 1: I didn't hear that. Um, you know, we'll see Bucky
1:17
Speaker 1: Brooks is certainly in on this show. He's from Los Angeles, California. Uh,
1:21
Speaker 1: happy regular season, Bucky. Here we are Wednesday, Yes, the week.
1:28
Speaker 1: We're ready, Washington Commanders are on the clock. I'm excited
1:32
Speaker 1: to see what this team looks like. I'm excited to
1:34
Speaker 1: see after all the preseason stuff, all the things that
1:36
Speaker 1: have gone on, what Doug Peterson has done the entire offseason.
1:39
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see what it looks like in a
1:41
Speaker 1: regular season game. Last time I saw Bucky, the team
1:43
Speaker 1: was two. And oh you guys still too, and oh Buck,
1:46
Speaker 1: we had a we had a game cancel lation. So
1:50
Speaker 1: we're playing this week with every intention to being three.
1:54
Speaker 1: It was just the high school group. Yeah, oh yeah,
1:57
Speaker 1: of course coach coach brook right here, I forgot about right.
2:03
Speaker 1: They have to address him Coach Brooks of the huddle
2:06
Speaker 1: that podcast right, Yeah, you know what I mean. I
2:11
Speaker 1: may send out a memo. I may send out a
2:13
Speaker 1: memo to the team to make sure the addressing me properly.
2:15
Speaker 1: When I talked to him because they give me a
2:17
Speaker 1: hard time about uh not a four day and duvald
2:20
Speaker 1: and all that other stuff. But I told him it's
2:22
Speaker 1: a storm coming. As a storm coming, they're gonna need
2:24
Speaker 1: to catch on Lucky. We've spent a lot of this
2:27
Speaker 1: offseason trying to figure out what this offense is going
2:30
Speaker 1: to look like. So what's this offense going to look
2:33
Speaker 1: like on Sunday? After all of this offseason of adding
2:37
Speaker 1: pieces in the quarterback developing and a new offense being
2:41
Speaker 1: implemented from a new coaching staff, what are we in
2:44
Speaker 1: for Sunday? Quarterback friendly offense that's gonna allow him to flourish? Uh,
2:49
Speaker 1: This offense has been tailored to Trevor Lawrence. There's a
2:52
Speaker 1: synergy between the quarterback and the play caller and the
2:55
Speaker 1: quarterback helpers meaning the quarterback coach and Mike McCoy, the
3:00
Speaker 1: officer of coordinating in press Taylor, and then Doug Peterson
3:02
Speaker 1: who's ultimately called him the plays, and then he surrounded
3:05
Speaker 1: by weapons that should allow him to play to the
3:07
Speaker 1: level that we expect from a former number one overall pick. Now,
3:11
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that he's going to be a Pro
3:12
Speaker 1: Bowl player this year, but I do expect him to
3:14
Speaker 1: make a major leap from year one to year two,
3:18
Speaker 1: and we have seen flashes of that and practice, we've
3:21
Speaker 1: seen flashes that in the games when they're with the
3:23
Speaker 1: regular season on, I think we get a chance to
3:25
Speaker 1: really see the best version of Trevor Lawrence as he
3:28
Speaker 1: and is his sophomore year. Let's hear from the quarterback
3:31
Speaker 1: earlier today asked that question, what is the offensive identity offensively?
3:37
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we're a really hard nosed team
3:39
Speaker 1: up front that can run the ball. I think we're
3:42
Speaker 1: gonna create a lot of explosives down the field. That's
3:44
Speaker 1: something that I'm really confident with the guys we have.
3:47
Speaker 1: I think we've got a couple of great backs. Um
3:49
Speaker 1: and that those are kind of the goes to b
3:50
Speaker 1: our offensive commandments, you know, protect the football, create explosives,
3:54
Speaker 1: um ball security, all those things. And there's a there's
3:56
Speaker 1: more of them too. You know we can talk about,
3:58
Speaker 1: but um and that's just what we live by us
4:00
Speaker 1: who we try to be. The list goes on and on.
4:02
Speaker 1: He says, we didn't go deep down the list today, John,
4:05
Speaker 1: but good to hear from the quarterback's view. Well, I
4:07
Speaker 1: think it it. I thought it was pertinent. The first
4:11
Speaker 1: thing he said was about running the ball and being
4:13
Speaker 1: hard nosed. Um, I think that will make it quarterback friendly,
4:18
Speaker 1: and I don't think they want him necessarily feeling like
4:21
Speaker 1: he has to drop back and throw fifty times a game.
4:23
Speaker 1: So the other topics to day we Travis e t
4:27
Speaker 1: n James Robinson. Um, it sure sounds like they want
4:31
Speaker 1: that to be their offensive identity. If they get that going,
4:34
Speaker 1: then the explosive place he's talking about come along with it.
4:37
Speaker 1: So I'm not surprised that's what they want the identity
4:41
Speaker 1: to be. Uh, let's see, Bucky, if they can run
4:45
Speaker 1: well enough to make that their identity. Yeah, it'd be
4:48
Speaker 1: interesting to see what the ring game looks like when
4:50
Speaker 1: you talk about a buy committee approach, James Robinson and
4:53
Speaker 1: Travis Etienne. Uh, those guys splitting the workload, how they rotated.
4:58
Speaker 1: I just want to see that looks like. Because they
5:01
Speaker 1: have to run the ball well enough to be able
5:03
Speaker 1: to close games out in the second half through it
5:05
Speaker 1: early to score running to win, that's typically the blueprint
5:09
Speaker 1: in the formula. But you have to be able to
5:10
Speaker 1: run the ball to control the tempo of the game.
5:13
Speaker 1: At some point the Jackuarson have the run when everyone
5:15
Speaker 1: in the stadium knows that they're running it, and they
5:16
Speaker 1: have to be tough enough to be able to execute it.
5:19
Speaker 1: I've got a question for the unbeaten cutter. It's with
5:25
Speaker 1: James Robinson and come off the accieuses. I'm not sure
5:29
Speaker 1: how much the accused has to do with this question.
5:32
Speaker 1: He was sort of a workhorse back the first two
5:34
Speaker 1: years of his career, but but you get the idea
5:37
Speaker 1: with Doug Peterson's approach the scheme, UH, and with Travis c.
5:41
Speaker 1: TNS present, they would rather him not be quite the workhorse.
5:47
Speaker 1: How do you see that being split? How do you
5:49
Speaker 1: see that looking in terms of how they use these
5:51
Speaker 1: two guys. I think what you do is very wait
5:55
Speaker 1: what both runners do really well and which plays match
5:58
Speaker 1: their skill sets? UH. With James Robinson being a more
6:01
Speaker 1: rough and rugged runner that excels doing the dirty work
6:04
Speaker 1: between the tackles, I think you see more of the
6:06
Speaker 1: power game and the inside runs they go to James Robinson.
6:09
Speaker 1: Travis Etzien has the ability to run this out, but
6:12
Speaker 1: he's more of the expulsive what we call space player,
6:15
Speaker 1: so you'll see him get his touches on the edges.
6:17
Speaker 1: You'll see him catch screens and swings and those things
6:21
Speaker 1: in space where you can get him one on one
6:24
Speaker 1: and allow him to break a tackling. Then it becomes
6:27
Speaker 1: a big play. Uh. The workload. I mean, I don't
6:30
Speaker 1: expect this team to have thirty five rushing attempts. I
6:32
Speaker 1: think you'll probably see them get between twenty five and
6:35
Speaker 1: twenty seven on a good day, but I respect it
6:37
Speaker 1: to be probably fifty fifty depending on which guy has
6:40
Speaker 1: the hot hand. Does that hurt I mean I don't
6:42
Speaker 1: think it will, but you could make an argument that Robinson,
6:46
Speaker 1: being an in an interior runner, kind of a field guy,
6:51
Speaker 1: not getting that many. You know, he gets better as
6:54
Speaker 1: the game goes on, well, fewer carries hurt him. I
6:58
Speaker 1: kind of don't think so, but I'm wondering what you think.
7:01
Speaker 1: I may take a while to get lathered up. I mean,
7:03
Speaker 1: there's so much of a rhythm to being able to
7:05
Speaker 1: succeed in the running game, and sometimes those backs that
7:08
Speaker 1: like to kind of do the dirty work, it takes
7:10
Speaker 1: them to get to thirteen, fourteen, fifteen carries before they
7:13
Speaker 1: kind of find start finding their way. When it comes
7:17
Speaker 1: to finding those Russian lanes. I don't know like how
7:19
Speaker 1: how much it changes because it's a different offense. He's
7:22
Speaker 1: coming off an injury. You don't want to overwork him early,
7:26
Speaker 1: but certainly you wanted to get lathered up and ready
7:27
Speaker 1: to go. So thirteen to fifteen touched about James Robinson.
7:31
Speaker 1: To me, that would be part of an excellent game plan.
7:33
Speaker 1: It also would suggest to me that the Jaguars have
7:36
Speaker 1: the game on their own terms, and they're able to
7:39
Speaker 1: run the ball when they want to run and how
7:40
Speaker 1: they want to run it. Let me think about it.
7:43
Speaker 1: Jane Probinson on eight and a half months ago is
7:45
Speaker 1: laying on the field on a non contact Achilles injury.
7:48
Speaker 1: You know, two weeks later he's laid up in the
7:50
Speaker 1: bed watching Netflix, and all of a sudden, now he's
7:54
Speaker 1: gonna play in week one. That's a remarkable turnaround. I know,
7:57
Speaker 1: the medical stuff has changed and science is improving and
8:01
Speaker 1: all this stuff. That's it. The remarkable turn of events
8:05
Speaker 1: bucky for him to be back on the field this week. Yeah. Look,
8:09
Speaker 1: it's not common. There used to be almost a death
8:11
Speaker 1: sentence when someone would get the torn achilles. Going back
8:14
Speaker 1: to yesteryear, I remember when Dan Marino tours achilles and
8:17
Speaker 1: he never really was the same in terms of his
8:19
Speaker 1: mobility after that. When now you have a guy like
8:22
Speaker 1: cam Acres who gets hurt in the preseason but is
8:26
Speaker 1: able to finish out for the Super Bowl champion rams
8:29
Speaker 1: in season being able to rehab his achilles. And so
8:32
Speaker 1: now you look at James Robinson the quick turnaround, and
8:35
Speaker 1: sometimes when you talk to doctors, they end up coming
8:38
Speaker 1: out better because now the Achilles tenant is stronger, has
8:41
Speaker 1: been tightened up. These guys have done all the rehab
8:43
Speaker 1: and maybe, just maybe we see a more explosive version
8:46
Speaker 1: of James Robinson as opposed to just to grind to
8:49
Speaker 1: the workhorse that we saw previously. Yeah, if I'm talking
8:52
Speaker 1: to send the medical people around here, this is really
8:54
Speaker 1: an injury that is changed dramatically. Uh, since Bucky played,
9:01
Speaker 1: since I started covering the league. I mean, it used
9:04
Speaker 1: to be that you might come back, but if you
9:06
Speaker 1: were a runner or somebody who depended on the legs
9:10
Speaker 1: and being quick, that you're not going to come back,
9:12
Speaker 1: to saying cam Akers, I think told the entire league,
9:17
Speaker 1: but that was no longer the case. Uh, and him
9:20
Speaker 1: coming back that quick makes James Robinson's uh come back
9:27
Speaker 1: not necessarily that much of an outlier. So I think
9:30
Speaker 1: Jaguars fans can look at that that the technology across
9:34
Speaker 1: that injury or across players across the league involving that
9:38
Speaker 1: injury makes it not inconceivable that James Robinson hits the
9:42
Speaker 1: ground running, you know, ha ha, It's it's a little
9:45
Speaker 1: bit of a Bucky is um uh hits the ground
9:48
Speaker 1: running in September for this team. By the way, um
9:52
Speaker 1: right tackle um Doug Peterson. Earlier they didn't want to
9:56
Speaker 1: go there, but finally admitted it was in the release.
9:59
Speaker 1: And Taylor, yeah, he wouldn't admit who did it, but okay,
10:03
Speaker 1: finally Joan Taylor is the right tackle. The offensive line solidified.
10:07
Speaker 1: Bucky exhale, they're gonna play football with five linemen on Sunday, Yeah,
10:12
Speaker 1: they are. They're gonna play with Juanna Taylor right tackle.
10:16
Speaker 1: And I think some of the reasons that dron Taylor
10:18
Speaker 1: was attracted to this coaching staff is the physicality and
10:20
Speaker 1: tough and he dead He's exhibited. It's not always perfect
10:23
Speaker 1: when he plays on the edges, but you can't question
10:26
Speaker 1: how physical he can be when his game is locked
10:28
Speaker 1: in and as the Jaguars are changing, and we've heard
10:31
Speaker 1: Trevor talking about tough, hard nosed, physical football team. We've
10:35
Speaker 1: heard their offensive and defensive coaches talk about the physicality
10:39
Speaker 1: and the toughness and how they want to impose their
10:41
Speaker 1: will on opponents. It kind of fits. So Joanna Taylor
10:43
Speaker 1: gets first bite of the apple when it comes to
10:45
Speaker 1: being able to play right tackle. We'll see if he
10:47
Speaker 1: performs at a high level where he can keep the job.
10:49
Speaker 1: But it is part of Doug Peterson making sure they
10:51
Speaker 1: have a veteran presence on the edges. And the only
10:55
Speaker 1: young guy that we really see will be Luke Porton,
10:57
Speaker 1: who's starting at pivot, and and our credit to him.
11:00
Speaker 1: I mean, Doug Peterson said in his press here today
11:03
Speaker 1: that since Joan Taylor was the incumbent, that it was
11:07
Speaker 1: sort of his job to lose. I kind of see
11:09
Speaker 1: it the other way. I think it was Walker Little's
11:11
Speaker 1: to lose going into it, only because he's the younger player,
11:14
Speaker 1: and you would certainly from a future standpoint, you would
11:17
Speaker 1: have rather had you know, I think anybody piecing together
11:20
Speaker 1: a roster would have rather had a young guy in
11:23
Speaker 1: his second year at right tackle that you know, what
11:25
Speaker 1: you're gonna have going forward. I think I think Jowan
11:28
Speaker 1: Taylor deserves a lot of credit. Uh. There's been a
11:31
Speaker 1: lot of noise about him, uh from fans, from observers,
11:35
Speaker 1: maybe rightfully so. And the way he performed, uh, buckled
11:38
Speaker 1: up his chin strap and won the job, and he
11:42
Speaker 1: deserves credit for doing that. And as Bucky said, we'll
11:45
Speaker 1: see how it plays out going forward during the regular
11:48
Speaker 1: season and the matchup in Week one. Bucky um, not
11:52
Speaker 1: quite as sexy as it would have been with Chase
11:54
Speaker 1: Young in there, right, But there's still some players on
11:57
Speaker 1: this Washington defensive front and this should use something to
12:00
Speaker 1: watch on Sunday, the Washington d line against this group
12:03
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars on the old line, Yeah, this is
12:06
Speaker 1: a crazy measuring stick, uh. For the Jaguars offensive line
12:10
Speaker 1: right out the gate. This is an offense, a defensive
12:12
Speaker 1: line that features a number of first round picks, I
12:15
Speaker 1: want to say three in the starting line up when
12:17
Speaker 1: you take Chase Young out of that. And so they're big,
12:19
Speaker 1: they're athletic, they're physical at the point of attack. And look,
12:23
Speaker 1: even though they've changed upfront many they fired the defensive
12:26
Speaker 1: line coach Sam Mills the third Uh, they have wanted
12:30
Speaker 1: to stylistically play a little different, eliminates some of the
12:33
Speaker 1: freestyling and freelancing that they were doing early in preseason,
12:37
Speaker 1: and see if they can play a little more discipline ball.
12:39
Speaker 1: And so they know that the Jaguars will come right
12:42
Speaker 1: at them, and so this would be a huge test
12:44
Speaker 1: to see if the Jaguars can block them, because if
12:46
Speaker 1: they can block them up front, there should be opportunities
12:48
Speaker 1: in the back end to be able to really take
12:50
Speaker 1: advantage of what this defense does. From a Covery standpoint.
12:54
Speaker 1: We'll come back in a moment and flip it around.
12:56
Speaker 1: Jaguars defense. They've got some names that are available Bowl
13:00
Speaker 1: for Sunday in Washington against the Commanders. Huddle Up with
13:03
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks was brought to you by Fields Auto Group, Jacksonville,
13:07
Speaker 1: step up to Luxury Fields Auto dot Com and the
13:11
Speaker 1: Jacks defense. Facing a familiar name at quarterback for Washington.
13:17
Speaker 1: They they rocked his world at the end of last season.
13:20
Speaker 1: In fact, we're back with more in just a moment,
13:23
Speaker 1: a huddle up with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network.
13:29
Speaker 1: Just at the guys on the team where you look
13:31
Speaker 1: up to me and I had that competence in me
13:33
Speaker 1: to lead them. And you know when I come to
13:35
Speaker 1: a team, you know, I definitely played for my brothers
13:37
Speaker 1: around me and for them. They give me that respect,
13:40
Speaker 1: you know, saying that they trust me to lead them
13:42
Speaker 1: is you know the most respects. So, um, you know
13:45
Speaker 1: just how I do everything, And see was I came
13:46
Speaker 1: here just doing everything for my brothers and my teammates
13:49
Speaker 1: and try to get him many wins as possible playing
13:51
Speaker 1: with them. Floyer lookin the Jaguars linebacker brought on in
13:57
Speaker 1: free agency, named a captain, one of five permanent captains
14:01
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars. Welcome back and tuddle up with Bucky Brooks,
14:04
Speaker 1: j P Shadrick John Osier along with Bucky. Bucky's out
14:08
Speaker 1: in l A. John and I here at t I
14:09
Speaker 1: A A Bank Field as we get ready for Week
14:11
Speaker 1: one the Jags and the Washington Commanders. Well, um, Jaguars defense, Yes,
14:16
Speaker 1: boyer Ago, he's the captain, but Devin lloyd Is also
14:21
Speaker 1: got a green light Bucky to get out there. He
14:24
Speaker 1: had a little time in Atlanta in the last preseason game.
14:27
Speaker 1: He said today in the locker room. Yeah, that was
14:29
Speaker 1: good to kind of get the flow going A little bit,
14:32
Speaker 1: just kind of get some plays, some time on task,
14:34
Speaker 1: get back and the fact that he was feeling fine
14:38
Speaker 1: the day after the game, at least he told me today,
14:41
Speaker 1: was when he realized, Okay, I'm I'm full go green
14:44
Speaker 1: light for week one. If I'm not feeling it after
14:46
Speaker 1: the Atlanta game, let's go play some football. That's a
14:49
Speaker 1: good thing for this defense, great thing for the defense
14:52
Speaker 1: because he's outstanding player and even though we haven't seen
14:55
Speaker 1: a lot of him, we know the skills that he
14:57
Speaker 1: brings to the team. He is a guy who is
14:59
Speaker 1: a versatil second level defender, a guy who can hit
15:01
Speaker 1: and running cover. He can come off the edge and
15:04
Speaker 1: add to your pass rush as a blisser. He can
15:06
Speaker 1: go sild on the sideline and make plays in the
15:08
Speaker 1: run game, and we've seen him at times be used
15:11
Speaker 1: and coverage. And so when you think about a defense
15:14
Speaker 1: that really believes quietly that they could be a top
15:16
Speaker 1: ten defense, you need more of your playmakers available. Devin
15:20
Speaker 1: Lloyd is a disruptive playmaker at the second level and
15:23
Speaker 1: he's someone who expected have an immediate impact on this
15:26
Speaker 1: defense when he gets into the rotation and plays a
15:28
Speaker 1: big role. Bucky how do you see him. You know,
15:33
Speaker 1: I would expect in this first week that he maybe
15:38
Speaker 1: doesn't play in every package that he might be playing
15:41
Speaker 1: in by week three or week four, just because he
15:44
Speaker 1: didn't play in the in the preseason. Uh, do you
15:47
Speaker 1: think that statement is accurate? And uh? Will he be
15:50
Speaker 1: in on every I mean, is there anything or any
15:54
Speaker 1: defensive package that he can't be in once he's fully
15:58
Speaker 1: going No. I think he can do anything you want
16:01
Speaker 1: to see on the field. That's one of the reasons
16:03
Speaker 1: why he was really rated highly as a prospect, because
16:06
Speaker 1: he can do a little bit of everything and do
16:09
Speaker 1: it very very well. For the Jaguars, they want to
16:12
Speaker 1: be multiple in how they attacked, and so I believe
16:15
Speaker 1: that Mike Calmer wants to have a variety of package available, uh,
16:19
Speaker 1: to be able to attack the offense. And so some
16:21
Speaker 1: of that may be having two or three linebackers, some
16:24
Speaker 1: of that may be having one linebacker and uh six
16:26
Speaker 1: seven dbs. I believe they're going to throw a bunch
16:29
Speaker 1: of different things at the offense, and they're going to
16:31
Speaker 1: figure out what works, and once they find what's working,
16:34
Speaker 1: they're gonna stay in it. Uh. Devin Lloyd, that would
16:36
Speaker 1: be featured promptly and all of those packages. Because he's
16:39
Speaker 1: a like his dynamic player, he should be a five
16:42
Speaker 1: star playmaker by the end of the season. Is there
16:44
Speaker 1: a package where you know, is there a package where
16:47
Speaker 1: MoMA and Lloyd play at the same time, or or
16:51
Speaker 1: is movement strictly a backup special teams guy? How do
16:53
Speaker 1: you see that? No, No, I think moment has an
16:56
Speaker 1: opportunity to be a great player as well. It's one
16:58
Speaker 1: of the rare things where you get too linebackers that
17:00
Speaker 1: you're taking the same draft class, and both of them
17:02
Speaker 1: are viable options as starters. The problem is that you
17:05
Speaker 1: have a big time free agent and for you you
17:08
Speaker 1: bring him in. He's a captain, He's a guy who
17:10
Speaker 1: is recognized for his ability to be an outstanding traffic
17:13
Speaker 1: cop and a very productive player. So what you want
17:17
Speaker 1: to do is you have three to play too. And
17:19
Speaker 1: so because you have three linebackers that can pretty much
17:22
Speaker 1: play two spots, because you can be a nickel seventy
17:24
Speaker 1: of the time, Mike Wall and the staff have to
17:27
Speaker 1: figure out who is most effective in some of these packages.
17:30
Speaker 1: But the beauty of having a lot of talent it
17:33
Speaker 1: allows you to expand your playbook and do more things.
17:36
Speaker 1: I think we'll see the Jaguars do a lot more
17:39
Speaker 1: than we've seen them do in the past because I
17:41
Speaker 1: believe the talent has been upgraded, particularly up front. I'm
17:44
Speaker 1: looking forward to that zero seven front. JP. Sure you
17:50
Speaker 1: gotta play it sometimes. Yeah, you don't want to leave
17:52
Speaker 1: that the games evolving to that point, they're just gonna
17:54
Speaker 1: play a zero seven four. Why not just roll them out,
17:58
Speaker 1: roll them out there. Macky's not buying it, Bucky, you're
18:01
Speaker 1: gonna play that on Friday. Yeah, yeah, you never do
18:06
Speaker 1: anything single wing defense, whatever it takes, just do it all. Hey, Um,
18:15
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is in this game. Um, there are some
18:18
Speaker 1: familiar faces for wins. Of course, on the other side,
18:22
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, of course was his head coach in Philly
18:25
Speaker 1: and then last year in the final week of the season,
18:28
Speaker 1: with wins at the Indianapolis Colts, the Jaguars knocked off
18:31
Speaker 1: the Colts and essentially ended their playoff hopes. Wentz in
18:35
Speaker 1: that game was seventeen a touchdown, an interception, and they
18:40
Speaker 1: couldn't run him out of Indy fast edof after that
18:42
Speaker 1: game they traded him over to Washington. So all right,
18:46
Speaker 1: if if you've had him as your quarterback before, and
18:50
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson and the staff. Yeah, Doug's the head coach,
18:54
Speaker 1: but there's a new defensive coordinat around here. How do
18:56
Speaker 1: you prepare for Carson Wentz? Do you do you look
18:59
Speaker 1: back to Philly stuff? Do you look back to Indy stuff?
19:02
Speaker 1: How do you manage this now that he's now that
19:05
Speaker 1: he's on his third NFL team? Uh, it's a mix
19:08
Speaker 1: of studying what he did in Indianapolis the last time
19:12
Speaker 1: he saw him, what he's done in the preseason with
19:14
Speaker 1: the Commanders, and then based on the intel that you
19:17
Speaker 1: know from working with him intimately. Doug Peterson knows what
19:21
Speaker 1: makes Carson Wentz tick, not only because he coached him
19:24
Speaker 1: for him for the years, but he drafted him. So
19:26
Speaker 1: he had to do all the research to really figure
19:28
Speaker 1: out how he's wired, what he thinks, and in doing that,
19:32
Speaker 1: he had to build a playbook for him based on
19:35
Speaker 1: those Uh, those thoughts, and so there's no one better
19:38
Speaker 1: in terms of being able to prepare for Carson wentztan
19:41
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson. He can tell Mikela exactly when he was
19:44
Speaker 1: a young player and he was athletic, he didn't like
19:46
Speaker 1: this Now he's an older player because the last time
19:49
Speaker 1: the Academy and eventually had to bench him here the
19:52
Speaker 1: things that gave him problems. Carson Wentz is going to
19:55
Speaker 1: face his demons this weekend, and depended upon if he's
19:58
Speaker 1: gone to therapy and work through well those issues that
20:00
Speaker 1: plagued him, he would either play well or he would
20:03
Speaker 1: go back to struggling like he struggled in the past. Yeah,
20:06
Speaker 1: that was interesting. I talked to the Commander's senior writer,
20:11
Speaker 1: my Cohort if you will UH on Tuesday, and he
20:15
Speaker 1: mentioned that one of the first things the Commanders did
20:17
Speaker 1: when they brought in Wentz was basically tell him, we're
20:21
Speaker 1: bringing you in because we want your skill set. Uh
20:25
Speaker 1: He didn't say it, but I think the implication there
20:27
Speaker 1: is that is the Colts sort of brought him in
20:29
Speaker 1: and to sort of manage UH and and and be
20:33
Speaker 1: the veteran. I don't know that's what Wentz is. Uh
20:36
Speaker 1: So I think you will see the Commanders try to
20:39
Speaker 1: bring back UH using Wentz's legs and making plays, etcetera.
20:44
Speaker 1: Uh So, I don't know how that plays into this
20:48
Speaker 1: week's game, but I think this team wants to showcase
20:54
Speaker 1: maybe what Wentz does well, maybe a little more than
20:57
Speaker 1: the Colts dead. I didn't follow the Holes enough to
21:00
Speaker 1: know how much they did that last year, but it
21:03
Speaker 1: strikes me that could be a difference in Wentz. But uh,
21:06
Speaker 1: I agree with Buck, this is a mind game game
21:08
Speaker 1: for Wentz this week. I'll say this about Carson Carson
21:11
Speaker 1: Winson Washington, that's a little different than the Carson wentsday
21:14
Speaker 1: we saw in Indianapolis. In Indianapolis, he had the best
21:17
Speaker 1: offensive line in football that you could ever be behind.
21:19
Speaker 1: He also had a top notch running back and Jonathan Taylor.
21:23
Speaker 1: The wire receivers are not necessarily up to what the
21:26
Speaker 1: commanders can present. When you think about Terry mclauren and
21:29
Speaker 1: some of their young receivers. I believe Frank Wright is
21:32
Speaker 1: an upgrade as a play caller than what Scott Turner
21:36
Speaker 1: is in Washington. And so if the Washington commanders want
21:39
Speaker 1: to put Carson Wentz out there and let him run around,
21:41
Speaker 1: it's going to be problemmatic for Carson Wentz because he's
21:44
Speaker 1: not the athlete that he was at North Dakota State.
21:46
Speaker 1: And so if he ventures outside of the pocket, as
21:48
Speaker 1: he's prone to do when things get a little Harry
21:51
Speaker 1: in the pocket, he is going to take a big shot.
21:54
Speaker 1: And that's just the way it is because he's not
21:56
Speaker 1: mobile enough to do uh thelusive stuff that he used
21:59
Speaker 1: to do, and he's not necessarily looking to run over
22:02
Speaker 1: people like some of the bigger quarterbacks like a Josh
22:04
Speaker 1: Allen could do. So his best bet is to stay
22:07
Speaker 1: in the pocket and to try and deliver the ball
22:10
Speaker 1: on time and on target. Is not his strong suit,
22:14
Speaker 1: but he's going to have to play in the pocket
22:15
Speaker 1: because he ventures out there with those big dudes that
22:18
Speaker 1: we've seen on the Jaguars defense. It is going to
22:20
Speaker 1: be a problem when tradebon walking Josh Allen and those
22:23
Speaker 1: gotta start hunting. He's fixing to get hit. Um. Yeah,
22:27
Speaker 1: And I've been saying a way to me if if
22:31
Speaker 1: if the Jaguars in the first half are running in
22:36
Speaker 1: mass defensively towards some screen and posing as as all
22:41
Speaker 1: these kids have to do these days after interception Buck,
22:44
Speaker 1: I don't like it, but that's how it is. If
22:46
Speaker 1: they're doing that in the first half, I think the
22:49
Speaker 1: Jaguars win the game if they forced to turn over
22:52
Speaker 1: get inside his head or whatever that is. If the
22:55
Speaker 1: game's going in a way that they're pressuring and causing disruption,
23:00
Speaker 1: and I think I ain't the Jaguars win and I
23:03
Speaker 1: ain't giveaway takeaway for every team in the league is crucial,
23:06
Speaker 1: I ain't for this Jaguars team. Considering that I had
23:08
Speaker 1: nine last year, I think that is a mammoth, mammoth
23:11
Speaker 1: stat for this team this year. Nine seven interceptions last year, bucket.
23:15
Speaker 1: That's not That's not enough. No, that's not enough. So
23:18
Speaker 1: there's a couple of things that I'll say that uh oh,
23:21
Speaker 1: because you're you're on it. The turnovers have to come.
23:23
Speaker 1: Because when you have a young, energetic defense like the Jaguars,
23:26
Speaker 1: that they're gonna feed off of that you saw already
23:29
Speaker 1: in the preseason and it doesn't count, but it certainly matters.
23:33
Speaker 1: When the number one defense played and played well. You
23:35
Speaker 1: can see the energy pickup, you can see the effort,
23:37
Speaker 1: the way they ran to the ball. I'm gonna say
23:39
Speaker 1: this because the Jaguars have not been shot about talking
23:42
Speaker 1: about the physicality and the toughness and what they want
23:45
Speaker 1: to do. I believe the game will ultimately be decided
23:48
Speaker 1: if the Jaguars are able to hit Carson Wentz very
23:51
Speaker 1: early in the game, somebody has to put a hit
23:54
Speaker 1: on Carson Wentz Early, because all quarterbacks changed once they
23:57
Speaker 1: started getting hit. It quickens the clock, it changes the
24:00
Speaker 1: way they go through differ regressions. They begin to rush
24:02
Speaker 1: through things and you see interceptions happen off tips and overthrows.
24:07
Speaker 1: So if Josh Allen, Trayvon Walkers, someone inside, if they're
24:10
Speaker 1: able to get the Carson Wentz Early and hit him,
24:13
Speaker 1: it is going to change the way that he plays,
24:15
Speaker 1: and he will remember those bad images, the nightmares that
24:18
Speaker 1: he had in the bank, those things that come back
24:21
Speaker 1: up quickly gets off to a poor start. Senior writers
24:24
Speaker 1: change and they start getting hit to right, everybody, everybody
24:26
Speaker 1: has a plan until they get bunched to the mouth.
24:30
Speaker 1: How that goes. Hey, if you're a Jacks fan on

Speaker 1: slash Bundle. We're called nine oh four six three three
24:57
Speaker 1: two thousand social media A question when we return. It's
25:02
Speaker 1: hoddle up with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network.
25:08
Speaker 1: Year two for Trevor is a different staff, right and
25:10
Speaker 1: different different head coach, different coordinator, different position coach. Where
25:15
Speaker 1: Carson year two it was the same same guys. And
25:18
Speaker 1: there was consistency there, you know. And and although we've
25:21
Speaker 1: seen tremendous growth in Trevor um year two for for Carson,
25:26
Speaker 1: with us, there there was another there was another step.
25:29
Speaker 1: There's another leap there and and um, you know, those
25:32
Speaker 1: are things that we're trying to get Trevor to right
25:35
Speaker 1: that level with Trevor in our system and and um,
25:39
Speaker 1: you're gonna see it probably throughout the course of the season.
25:41
Speaker 1: Um you know, but I think time will tell, you know,
25:44
Speaker 1: with with him that's earlier today head coach Doug Peterson
25:49
Speaker 1: getting the morning started with his press conference on a Wednesday.
25:53
Speaker 1: Welcome back. It's tuddle up with Bucky Brooks. I'm J P. Shadrick,
25:57
Speaker 1: that's John Osier and that was Doug p Uson. And yes,
26:01
Speaker 1: the question was about year two with wins. We were
26:04
Speaker 1: talking a little bit about Wents a moment ago and
26:06
Speaker 1: now year two with Trevor Lawrence, and he just explained
26:09
Speaker 1: the difference there. Hey, let's get to social media questions.
26:13
Speaker 1: We put out the cat signal earlier today, if you will,
26:18
Speaker 1: and here's the best we came up with. We got
26:21
Speaker 1: one today, We got one. This is a good one.
26:24
Speaker 1: At Criticus underscore eug over under twelve carries for Robinson
26:29
Speaker 1: versus over under for twelve carries for e t N
26:31
Speaker 1: against Washington and who gets the first sack of the year.
26:34
Speaker 1: He thinks it's smoot love the show. You guys are
26:37
Speaker 1: the best most entertaining offseason since last year. Wink emoji. Alright,
26:42
Speaker 1: let's start with the running backs, Bucky, what are you thinking? Uh?
26:46
Speaker 1: If I can switch it from carries two touches, I
26:48
Speaker 1: would go over on Trevis Etienne under on James Robinson
26:53
Speaker 1: because this first game I don't know if they even
26:54
Speaker 1: give them a heavy workload first sac Uh, let's play
26:58
Speaker 1: at chalk. I'm gonna go Josh Alan gets to sack,
27:01
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go opposite. Um. Are you allowed to disagree
27:06
Speaker 1: with the scout on this? Ship. I just want to
27:11
Speaker 1: check if I'm not here next week. He's super executive producer,
27:15
Speaker 1: you know why. Hopefully the code still works. I'm gonna
27:18
Speaker 1: go over on. I'm gonna stick to carries because that's
27:21
Speaker 1: the question. It's not touches, it's carries. So I'm gonna
27:24
Speaker 1: stick to that. Uh, and I'll say over for Robinson,
27:29
Speaker 1: slightly under free at N and UH, I'm gonna go
27:33
Speaker 1: with arden Key, which it's a little chalk. I mean,
27:36
Speaker 1: Bucky went chalk, but I think arden Key had a
27:39
Speaker 1: terrific preseason. It wouldn't surprise me if you're in a
27:43
Speaker 1: Nickel situation where Alan and uh Trayvon get a little
27:47
Speaker 1: pressure and uh forced the quarterback back inside an arden
27:50
Speaker 1: Key picks episode. So I'm gonna go with that. Um
27:54
Speaker 1: let's see. Um. Yeah, I'm gonna go under twelve for
27:58
Speaker 1: Robinson and then and over twelve for E t N.
28:02
Speaker 1: I think they getting involved a little more passing game
28:04
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Yeah, I'm going touches that I'm changing
28:11
Speaker 1: the whole time. I'm changing the whole thing. We're going
28:14
Speaker 1: we're going to keep answering the questions around here, you guys.
28:16
Speaker 1: And we're also going to go because Devin Lloyd will
28:20
Speaker 1: have the first sack of the season. How about that,
28:22
Speaker 1: Devin Lloyd? How about off the top row? So I
28:28
Speaker 1: think he's gonna be around the ball. There's gonna be
28:30
Speaker 1: a weird play, something's gonna happen. He'll he'll get flushed
28:33
Speaker 1: out of the pocket. Here comes Devin Lloyd to bring
28:35
Speaker 1: him down and that'll that'll get this team going. I
28:41
Speaker 1: I'm with Bucky when you imagine things going well for
28:44
Speaker 1: the Jaguars in this game, I and you imagine some offensively,
28:50
Speaker 1: but I think the tone will be set if the
28:54
Speaker 1: defense can set the tone with pressures and make wins
28:58
Speaker 1: and make a mistake and then you've got him again
29:00
Speaker 1: running down toward the screen and everybody's celebrating. Uh. That
29:05
Speaker 1: I think would equate a big, big day for the
29:08
Speaker 1: jack That would be nice to see. Hey, thanks for
29:11
Speaker 1: the question on Twitter today. We appreciate that. We'll be
29:15
Speaker 1: here each and every Wednesday afternoon and you can send
29:17
Speaker 1: us your questions. We'll put out the signal each and
29:20
Speaker 1: every week. Let's come back in a moment. Our final
29:22
Speaker 1: thoughts ahead of Week one in the NFL. The Jaguars
29:25
Speaker 1: and the Washington Commanders coming up, and remember to subscribe
29:28
Speaker 1: to the Official Jaguars Podcast Network. That's an I Heart Radio, iTunes, Spotify.
29:35
Speaker 1: The list goes on and on and on wherever you

Speaker 1: download your pods. But of course leave us a comment
29:40
Speaker 1: and a five star rating. It's Huddle Up with Bucky
29:43
Speaker 1: Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network. Welcome back his Huddle
29:54
Speaker 1: Up with Bucky Brooks, presented by the Fields Auto Group
29:58
Speaker 1: Feels on a group Jack and they'll step up to
30:00
Speaker 1: Luxury Fields Auto dot Com. Speaking of luxury, wait till
30:06
Speaker 1: this is finished the Miller Electric Center outside t i
30:10
Speaker 1: A bank field while they continue to build things the
30:16
Speaker 1: stadium side of the practice Fields will see about when
30:21
Speaker 1: it's done. They've finally broken ground and there in the
30:24
Speaker 1: early process of building that. The frame for one side
30:28
Speaker 1: of the indoor facility is going up near the expressway
30:33
Speaker 1: and the progress you can almost see daily. John here
30:36
Speaker 1: it comes. Yeah, it's it's it's been needed for a
30:40
Speaker 1: long time. It'll it'll reshape the footprint of this area
30:44
Speaker 1: down here. And Uh, when it's done, I'll be able
30:46
Speaker 1: to get home quickly because the traffic on Hey, Bucky,
30:49
Speaker 1: where's your office going to be in this place where
30:51
Speaker 1: every less today, I don't know, Like, I'm just hope
30:54
Speaker 1: for a nice little office, maybe with a window so
30:56
Speaker 1: I can overlook the field. Something like that. That would
30:58
Speaker 1: be nice for me, you know. So then I have
31:00
Speaker 1: to go it's hot and muggy and stuff like that
31:02
Speaker 1: in the office and get some work done and watch
31:04
Speaker 1: everything to taste off next to next to Peterson's office,
31:07
Speaker 1: or like two doors down, like where where is your
31:10
Speaker 1: uh couple of doors down? I don't need to be
31:12
Speaker 1: right beside coach, but just so I can get to
31:15
Speaker 1: him and ask a question or two based on what
31:16
Speaker 1: I see. Gotta work, Okay, we could use that. Yeah,
31:20
Speaker 1: we could use that. You'd be live from your office
31:22
Speaker 1: on this show on Wednesdays. Wouldn't even come across the
31:24
Speaker 1: street to the studio. I could see that from you.
31:30
Speaker 1: I'll knocked that out. Have a lot of fun, you know,
31:33
Speaker 1: mighty little umbrella. The sun sun is beating down a
31:35
Speaker 1: side out there, Mikey. It's Jacksonville, Florida. That's what happens,
31:40
Speaker 1: all right. So our final thoughts the Commanders and the
31:45
Speaker 1: Jaguars coming up week one. A lot of change around
31:47
Speaker 1: here off the field in d C. There's been a
31:51
Speaker 1: lot of noise in the system up there, of course,
31:53
Speaker 1: but on the football side of things, how do you
31:56
Speaker 1: look past a lot of that if you're Washington Commanders
31:59
Speaker 1: to team, and certainly for the Jaguars, a lot of
32:02
Speaker 1: change around here, not as much off the field things
32:06
Speaker 1: going on in this offseason, ownership and such. Um, that's
32:10
Speaker 1: a lot of distraction, a lot of change from both sides.
32:12
Speaker 1: How do they focus on get week one right? Yeah,
32:16
Speaker 1: a lot of change for both sides. But what happens
32:18
Speaker 1: is both teams are encouraged based on the opponent of
32:20
Speaker 1: they're facing. The Washington Commanders certainly feel like this should
32:24
Speaker 1: be a winnable game based on the record that the
32:26
Speaker 1: Jaguars have had over the last couple of years. For
32:28
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, they should also feel encouraged about being able
32:31
Speaker 1: to knock off the Commanders, not only because the Commanders
32:34
Speaker 1: have been up and down, but because they have had
32:36
Speaker 1: success against this quarterback. And so when you think about
32:39
Speaker 1: the National Football League and even if you have playoff aspirations, well,
32:43
Speaker 1: one of the quickest ways to kind of get out
32:45
Speaker 1: to the playoffs that be in the hunt is to
32:47
Speaker 1: get off to a fast start. And so before you
32:49
Speaker 1: can go to it or you gotta win one of those.
32:51
Speaker 1: So if you win the first one, it gives you
32:53
Speaker 1: an opportunity to come back to the home game and
32:55
Speaker 1: get your second one. And we have seen the odds
32:57
Speaker 1: go up dramatically if you have to start two and off,
33:01
Speaker 1: But you gotta get the first one first. Yeah. I mean,
33:04
Speaker 1: if the Jaguars are what we saw in the seven
33:09
Speaker 1: series glimpse that we saw the first team, then I
33:13
Speaker 1: think they've got a good chance to go up there
33:15
Speaker 1: and and do the things that it will take for
33:19
Speaker 1: this team to be good. Um. I my concern about
33:23
Speaker 1: this team overall is the youth and what Doug talked
33:27
Speaker 1: about as pressed her today, sort of talking about Trevor
33:32
Speaker 1: being in year one in this system. I think Doug
33:35
Speaker 1: has mentioned that several times when talking about this that
33:39
Speaker 1: there will be some growing pains in the system because
33:43
Speaker 1: he's not in year two of it yet, of just
33:46
Speaker 1: getting acclimated. So I don't know that over the course
33:49
Speaker 1: of the season there aren't gonna be games where there
33:52
Speaker 1: are are hiccups that concerned fans, but the Doug is
33:55
Speaker 1: gonna know, Hey, he's growing in this game. I don't
33:59
Speaker 1: know that the Washington and UH offense is a great
34:04
Speaker 1: enough offense to get away from the Jaguars offense, and
34:08
Speaker 1: therefore I think the Jaguars defense can have a great
34:10
Speaker 1: impact on this game, force turnovers and can be a
34:13
Speaker 1: defensive game. I don't know that you can win defensive
34:15
Speaker 1: games in seventeen times in the NFL that in these
34:18
Speaker 1: days it's tough, But in this matchup, I do think
34:21
Speaker 1: the Jaguars defense can have a huge effect on the game,
34:25
Speaker 1: and I think it will have a huge fact on
34:26
Speaker 1: the game. I like that a lot. Well, thanks Javid.
34:30
Speaker 1: That would be a next time. It would be a
34:33
Speaker 1: great thing. To your point, John, you talked about the
34:36
Speaker 1: Commanders not necessarily being able to run away. I think
34:38
Speaker 1: that does give the Jaguars a chance to ease into it.
34:41
Speaker 1: And talking to Doug probably he talked about the one
34:44
Speaker 1: thing that you have to do early on is he
34:46
Speaker 1: has to get the trust of the team. He's done
34:48
Speaker 1: all that to this point, but in terms of teaching
34:50
Speaker 1: them how to play winning football, the hope is that
34:53
Speaker 1: you win a couple of games that you're supposed to win,
34:55
Speaker 1: you win a game or two that you don't, and
34:57
Speaker 1: then the team boys into the philosophy of the prog
35:00
Speaker 1: him and then you really begin to take off, and
35:01
Speaker 1: so hopefully you can snatch one in week one and
35:04
Speaker 1: the team really feels good about the program. Just put
35:06
Speaker 1: in place, all right, that'll do it for this program. Today.
35:10
Speaker 1: Tomorrow we've got uh Happy Hour Radio and then the
35:13
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show on tomorrow afternoon four to six. Uh. Bucky,
35:18
Speaker 1: you'll be in Landover, Maryland on the sidelines. Yes, yes, yes,
35:24
Speaker 1: looking forward to it, looking forward to seeing the Jaguars
35:26
Speaker 1: do their deal up close and personal. Hopefully it is
35:29
Speaker 1: week one and a win at the end of week one,
35:31
Speaker 1: that's what we're looking for, no doubt. That's Bucky Brooks.
35:34
