0:27
Speaker 1: John Oser, Bucky Brooks coming up. We've got a busy
0:30
Speaker 1: show ahead of course, getting ready for Week eight the
0:32
Speaker 1: Jags in the Seattle Seahawks. Oh, you have it. The
0:35
Speaker 1: first two guys we just talked about, Bucky Brooks and
0:37
Speaker 1: John Oser right around the corner, looking ahead to the
0:41
Speaker 1: weeknight match of the Jags of never one in Seattle.
0:44
Speaker 1: They'll try to change that this week. Social media question
0:47
Speaker 1: coming up, and then we'll get some final thoughts looking
0:50
Speaker 1: ahead to this football game. Coming off the bye week.
0:53
Speaker 1: John Osier with US Jaguars dot Com senior writer. You've
0:55
Speaker 1: heard of him, NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks is on
0:59
Speaker 1: the name of the show. You've certainly heard of him. Bucky.
1:02
Speaker 1: Good afternoon. Until you're coming off the bye, and well
1:04
Speaker 1: you didn't have it by a week. It was normal
1:06
Speaker 1: for you on Sunday. But how are you rested and
1:09
Speaker 1: ready for the stretch run? I am rested and ready
1:12
Speaker 1: and I'm riding a winning streek, so yeah, I'm I'm
1:14
Speaker 1: good to go. Like finally, uh, you gotta win in
1:18
Speaker 1: the Ledger. It's been a long time coming. So I
1:19
Speaker 1: feel really excited about what's coming on this weekend. John,
1:22
Speaker 1: I know you can't wait for what's coming up this week,
1:27
Speaker 1: I think, and i'd love you get the scouts thoughts
1:30
Speaker 1: on this um. The Jaguars in the last two or
1:34
Speaker 1: three weeks before the bye did enough to make the
1:39
Speaker 1: two or three weeks out of the bibe very interesting
1:41
Speaker 1: to me. They looked like they were improving, but they
1:46
Speaker 1: looked like they were improving against a struggling Miami team.
1:49
Speaker 1: Pass rush looks like it's getting better, but not great
1:52
Speaker 1: offensive lines they're paying the last couple of weeks. Trevor
1:54
Speaker 1: looks like he's getting better. Can he maintain that? I
1:57
Speaker 1: like a lot of what they were doing. I'm very
2:00
Speaker 1: anxious to see what they look like coming out of
2:02
Speaker 1: the bike compared to what they went into the by
2:04
Speaker 1: I think they're improved. I want to see them show
2:07
Speaker 1: they're improved. Yeah, I mean, I think this is a
2:11
Speaker 1: very improved team. If you go back and look at
2:13
Speaker 1: the Thursday night game against Cincinnati Bengals, the same Bengals
2:16
Speaker 1: that whipped the Baltimore Ravens, the Jaguars had that team
2:19
Speaker 1: did de Rice and in fact, it's a game that
2:21
Speaker 1: you can reasonably say that the Jaguars should have won.
2:24
Speaker 1: Then you come back and whatever Miami's record is, the
2:27
Speaker 1: Jaguars gotta win against that. And sometimes you're gonna have
2:30
Speaker 1: those situations where hey, whether it's a good team and
2:33
Speaker 1: bad team, you just chalk up the win. This week
2:35
Speaker 1: playing against a shorthand to see r Sahaks team that
2:38
Speaker 1: is without Russell Wilson, if they can chalk up with
2:40
Speaker 1: another win. In the last three times that we've seen
2:42
Speaker 1: the Jaguars trot out, they have been in this situation
2:46
Speaker 1: where they certainly have maybe earned the right to win games.
2:49
Speaker 1: If you're Urban Meyer, you're the front office, everybody around
2:52
Speaker 1: the program, you feel good about the way it is trending.
2:55
Speaker 1: If you finish it off with the win this week,
2:58
Speaker 1: Let's hear from head coach Urban Meyer's with the media
3:00
Speaker 1: back on Monday and again today as he does each
3:03
Speaker 1: Winday Wednesday, going into game week and looking forward to
3:07
Speaker 1: this week's matchup in Seattle. Plenty of Jaguar's assistance on
3:10
Speaker 1: this coaching staff with ties to Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll.
3:15
Speaker 1: I studied coach Carroll for many, many, many years, starting
3:18
Speaker 1: back on my Utah days when they were, you know,
3:21
Speaker 1: the top of the college football world. Um, when I
3:23
Speaker 1: was a Reggie Bush and Matt Leiner and Fox. I
3:26
Speaker 1: just would ask because I'm I've always studied great coaches,
3:29
Speaker 1: and he's a guy that competition was the number one
3:32
Speaker 1: piece of his, you know, his organization, and that became
3:37
Speaker 1: ours too. I mean it's always been. But so it's
3:41
Speaker 1: not by accident that I've hired guys that were part
3:43
Speaker 1: of that organization. Yeah, plenty of guys involved to the
3:47
Speaker 1: top offensive coaches or they have a special teams coordinator,
3:50
Speaker 1: was there. I mean that's just the name a few.
3:52
Speaker 1: And you know, that's what happens when successful organizations breed
3:56
Speaker 1: successful coaches that are trying to move up the ranks,
3:58
Speaker 1: they get hired elsewhere. What has happened over the years
4:01
Speaker 1: out of Seattle. Yeah, that that normally happens, and I
4:05
Speaker 1: think there's always a level of admiration from coaches to
4:08
Speaker 1: other great coaches, and going all the way back to
4:11
Speaker 1: the college ranks, when Urban Meyer was doing his deal
4:14
Speaker 1: at Utah and SC was the big cohuna when it
4:17
Speaker 1: came to how they dominated the game, certainly you would
4:20
Speaker 1: look to the west and see what Pete Carroll was doing,
4:23
Speaker 1: how he was doing it, the success that they were having,
4:25
Speaker 1: because it was kind of unprecedented the way that they
4:27
Speaker 1: were winning while it looked like they were having fun.
4:30
Speaker 1: And so Urban certainly, as a young coach at Utah,
4:33
Speaker 1: took that. And then when you have an opportunity to
4:35
Speaker 1: go to the next level to the NFL, and you
4:37
Speaker 1: see the success that Pete Carroll's head in terms of
4:41
Speaker 1: the number of double digit wins, going to two Super Bowls,
4:44
Speaker 1: winning one, it does make sense that you want to
4:47
Speaker 1: take bits and pieces from that program because it's been
4:50
Speaker 1: successful not only in the college game, but it's been
4:52
Speaker 1: successful in the pro game. And if I Herbert Meyer,
4:55
Speaker 1: who was making the same transition, I certainly want people
4:58
Speaker 1: to assist me and build my own program and making
5:01
Speaker 1: it NFL ready well, Seattle has had the respect around
5:06
Speaker 1: the NFL for a long long time too. Uh, guys
5:10
Speaker 1: who play well there've been able to go and finish
5:14
Speaker 1: their careers in the places coaches have done it. So again,
5:17
Speaker 1: you know, Urban has said since way back when his
5:21
Speaker 1: admiration for Pete Carroll. He reiterated it today, not surprising
5:24
Speaker 1: that he would go try to hire good people out
5:27
Speaker 1: of a program or or a team that has put
5:30
Speaker 1: him all over the league. So, you know, can the
5:33
Speaker 1: you know, imitation beat the real thing this week? I
5:36
Speaker 1: don't consider the JA was really an imitation to Seattle Seahawks,
5:39
Speaker 1: but that's certainly at play here with guys going back
5:42
Speaker 1: there this weekends. You're from the quarterback today, Jaguar's quarterback
5:47
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence speaking on Wednesdays he normally does getting back
5:51
Speaker 1: to work after the bye week key for this offense
5:54
Speaker 1: and this team. All the guys have been great and
5:57
Speaker 1: getting getting back ready to play this weekend, and we've
6:00
Speaker 1: got a really good game plan so far. Um So
6:02
Speaker 1: it's really about taking what whatever we install, whatever we
6:06
Speaker 1: do every week, and diving in and everyone knowing the
6:09
Speaker 1: ins and outs of every little thing they have to do.
6:11
Speaker 1: And I thought we did a really good job of
6:12
Speaker 1: that last week, and I think you saw it carry over.
6:15
Speaker 1: So just just that is is realizing it's back to work.
6:19
Speaker 1: We gotta leven straight and there's just there's no time
6:21
Speaker 1: to waste, so we gotta we gotta keep working and
6:23
Speaker 1: keep getting better. And I think the guys have a
6:25
Speaker 1: good understanding of that, and being a young guy, um,
6:27
Speaker 1: I feel like I do too, So it's all good.
6:30
Speaker 1: It's all good, says Trevor Hey one in five going
6:33
Speaker 1: into a bye, and then he said before the bye,
6:35
Speaker 1: Bucky that you know, eleven games, there's a college regular
6:39
Speaker 1: season ahead like it's for the new guys coming in.
6:42
Speaker 1: This is a long stretch of football games ahead of them. Yeah,
6:46
Speaker 1: long strace of games ahead of them. And that's why
6:48
Speaker 1: it would be really important to see how the staff
6:51
Speaker 1: manages practice reps and how they handle this going forward.
6:55
Speaker 1: They have one game going from sixteen games. The seventeen
6:58
Speaker 1: games certainly changes the way that you have to keep
7:00
Speaker 1: your guys ready but also there early by, and so
7:04
Speaker 1: it will be interesting to see what we hear from
7:06
Speaker 1: the players and the people around the program about how
7:09
Speaker 1: Urban takes care of the players doing this when they
7:12
Speaker 1: take the pass off to the cut down practice time. Uh,
7:15
Speaker 1: can they lighten the load when it comes to the
7:17
Speaker 1: the amount of leg usage and those things that the
7:20
Speaker 1: guys are doing. And so if they can cut that
7:22
Speaker 1: down and still be smart and get the work done,
7:24
Speaker 1: you certainly have an opportunity to get better and to
7:27
Speaker 1: continue to ascend towards the end of the regular season
7:31
Speaker 1: as opposed to falling apart and fading down the stretch
7:34
Speaker 1: before we move on to Seattle, which will take up
7:36
Speaker 1: a lot of the end of the show. I want
7:38
Speaker 1: to ask football guy Bucky Brooks a question. Football guy, Yeah,
7:42
Speaker 1: and it's uh, you know, I think we've talked about it,
7:45
Speaker 1: and it's difficult to get to the meat of what
7:49
Speaker 1: I'm asking, But Bucky t you we've all talked about
7:54
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence improving right before the bye, and I see
7:58
Speaker 1: it in the decision making. I see it in the
8:00
Speaker 1: reduced interceptions um compared to other quarterbacks around the league.
8:06
Speaker 1: You're seeing how well is he playing? Is is the
8:10
Speaker 1: improvement that dramatic? And I guess what can we expect
8:14
Speaker 1: going forward? I I'm not sure I expect to see
8:17
Speaker 1: the top end of his ability yet because I don't
8:20
Speaker 1: know that the Jaguars have the high end skill position
8:24
Speaker 1: players to complement a great quarterback. Yet I don't think
8:27
Speaker 1: there's the deep speed. But what are you looking for
8:31
Speaker 1: out of him and how much has he really improved?
8:34
Speaker 1: Look at the risk of being a homer, I'm gonna
8:36
Speaker 1: say he's playing the best in terms of the way
8:39
Speaker 1: that he plays. He's playing the best of all the
8:42
Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks. And that is me fully understanding what mac
8:45
Speaker 1: jones Is numbers look like. But when you really dig
8:48
Speaker 1: into the tape and look at the numbers that mac
8:50
Speaker 1: Jones is compiling, it's on a bunch of singles and butts.
8:54
Speaker 1: There's a lot of screens and quick passes and guys
8:57
Speaker 1: running after the catch and those things. Trevor Lauren is
9:00
Speaker 1: playing quarterback in terms of NFL quarterback, big time throws,
9:04
Speaker 1: pushing it down the field. Both of the cast we
9:06
Speaker 1: can say are about the same because there there's not
9:09
Speaker 1: a true number one wide receiver on this squad. He's
9:12
Speaker 1: really playing with a lot of number twos and threes.
9:15
Speaker 1: But we are seeing each and every week he is
9:17
Speaker 1: becoming more confident, and as he becomes more confident, he's
9:21
Speaker 1: pushing the envelope while also being very judicious in terms
9:25
Speaker 1: of the decisions that he makes. Now, Trevor Lawrence is
9:28
Speaker 1: playing fine, and those who are really looking at how
9:30
Speaker 1: he plays, he is playing like a number one overall pick,
9:34
Speaker 1: even though the record says that this team is underperforming.
9:38
Speaker 1: Putting ahead on Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks, will hear
9:40
Speaker 1: from Shatt Griffin and get his thoughts on returning to
9:43
Speaker 1: Seattle this week. We'll get into that Seattle team minus
9:46
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson coming up in just a moment. Huddle Up
9:49
Speaker 1: with Bucky Brooks is brought to you by Fields Cadillac
9:51
Speaker 1: of Jacksonville and Fields Cadillac St. Augustine, members of the
9:56
Speaker 1: Fields Auto Group, and we're often running on Huddle Up
9:58
Speaker 1: with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Hard Rock Sports Book
10:01
Speaker 1: Digital Network. Welcome back. It's Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks
10:07
Speaker 1: on a Wednesday afternoon, presented by the Fields Auto Group,
10:11
Speaker 1: JP Shadrick, John Oshan and NFL Network Analyst Bucky Brooks.
10:14
Speaker 1: The Jaguars and the Seattle Seahawks at Louman Field, Seattle
10:19
Speaker 1: coming up Sunday four or five, kickoff time, So let's
10:23
Speaker 1: get to these Seahawks Bucky there two and five, they
10:26
Speaker 1: don't have their starting quarterback, Gino Smith's starting for them.
10:28
Speaker 1: The numbers are dramatically different offensively, obviously, when Gino Smith
10:33
Speaker 1: is in as you see here, the record is one
10:35
Speaker 1: thing points per game or down by about nine per game,
10:39
Speaker 1: total yards per game, little less than a hundred and
10:42
Speaker 1: exactly one hundred fewer passing yards per game when Gino
10:45
Speaker 1: Smith's in there. They still have weapons out there. They've got,
10:48
Speaker 1: you know, obviously DK Metcalf Andine Lockett. But this is
10:52
Speaker 1: a huge difference. And you know, needless to say, Russell
10:54
Speaker 1: Wilson when he's hot, is an m v P caliber player. Yeah,
10:59
Speaker 1: I mean it's a different offense. Whenever you lose the
11:00
Speaker 1: starting quarterback in this league is a huge drop off
11:03
Speaker 1: between QB one and QB two. And when you have
11:06
Speaker 1: an m v P caliber quarterback in Russell Wilson, even
11:09
Speaker 1: though he's never won it, I don't know if he's
11:10
Speaker 1: ever got a vote for the award, but he certainly
11:13
Speaker 1: has been worthy of being in that conversation and discussion.
11:16
Speaker 1: And what we're seeing is when you remove Russell Wilson
11:19
Speaker 1: out of that offensive equation, you see all of the
11:22
Speaker 1: warts on the Seattle Seahawks offense. Offensive line is a
11:26
Speaker 1: little inconsistent because they're not able to run the football consistently.
11:30
Speaker 1: The running backs has been really a revolving door of
11:33
Speaker 1: the position and no one has really established themselves due
11:36
Speaker 1: to injuries. At wide receiver you have d K Mattcalf
11:38
Speaker 1: and Tyler Lockett. But these are guys that are excellent
11:42
Speaker 1: vertical playmakers. So when you can run the ball and
11:44
Speaker 1: play actually push the ball down the field, that's when
11:47
Speaker 1: they can be in the mix. But without the running
11:49
Speaker 1: game with a different trigger man and Geno Smith, those
11:52
Speaker 1: guys are null and void, and so it is a
11:55
Speaker 1: tremendous difference. It's a huge fall off. And luckily for
11:58
Speaker 1: the Jaguars they catched him without Sup Wilson because this
12:01
Speaker 1: is one where they should be able to throttle the
12:03
Speaker 1: offense and give the Jaguars offense an opportunity to help
12:06
Speaker 1: some short fields. Yeah. I think that's why it's such
12:08
Speaker 1: a interesting game, because it didn't look gettable before the
12:13
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson injury, and now it does. I They're still dangerous,
12:18
Speaker 1: they still have playmakers. Uh. The Houston Texans remember looked
12:23
Speaker 1: like a struggling team. They had some playmakers down the
12:26
Speaker 1: field and a quarterback who wasn't necessarily the guy took
12:31
Speaker 1: advantage of that. So I think the danger here is
12:34
Speaker 1: I think a lot of Jaguars observers looking at it,
12:37
Speaker 1: this is one they'll get going to Seattle against a
12:41
Speaker 1: defense that's been playing better the last couple of weeks.
12:44
Speaker 1: It was really bad early in the season. This defense
12:46
Speaker 1: is playing better. Uh, It's still a case where a
12:49
Speaker 1: young Jaguars team needs to go out and do the
12:52
Speaker 1: things that it is shown it can do in flashes.
12:56
Speaker 1: It needs to do with the entire game. This this
12:58
Speaker 1: offense to me, and I hate to be negative, Nelly,
13:01
Speaker 1: here JP offense. For all that we have seen them
13:05
Speaker 1: starting to do well, the season high is still twenty three. Uh,
13:10
Speaker 1: You've still gotta get that number up a little bit
13:13
Speaker 1: before I consider you a team. It's gonna still it's
13:15
Speaker 1: gonna go start winning shootouts or winning consistently. Can they
13:20
Speaker 1: you know, take the situation where they're fourth and goal
13:24
Speaker 1: in the nine and get seven out of that instead
13:26
Speaker 1: of zero. That sort of hiccup is what's dangerous when
13:30
Speaker 1: you're going on the road against a team that hasn't quit.
13:33
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what scares you about the Seattle To me,
13:35
Speaker 1: last three weeks, even without Russell Wilson, they have fought.
13:38
Speaker 1: They fought back against Pittsburgh, they fought against the Saints team.
13:42
Speaker 1: It's probably better than they are on paper right now.
13:44
Speaker 1: They are still fighting hard. This is not the Dolphins
13:48
Speaker 1: they're playing in London. To me, this is a much better,
13:50
Speaker 1: much more formal foe. And maybe I just see the
13:54
Speaker 1: history JP they've gone out there and gotten whacked three times. Uh.
13:58
Speaker 1: Maybe I see the fact that they're still not covering
14:00
Speaker 1: great at times. Uh. Still some things they got to
14:03
Speaker 1: shore up before I feel great about going to Seattle.
14:06
Speaker 1: Uh whoa nellist? Maybe I am negative. Maybe that's my role.
14:11
Speaker 1: Maybe everybody it's just too happy around over there. But
14:15
Speaker 1: we certainly did not change that. I want them to
14:19
Speaker 1: be I want them to win, but I just keep
14:21
Speaker 1: seeing guys run wide open, and I see a team
14:24
Speaker 1: that's not scoring yet, and I wonder what they're gonna
14:28
Speaker 1: do to get points and to stop guys from what
14:32
Speaker 1: from running wide open? And that's negative guy, that's me.
14:35
Speaker 1: I mean, that's fine. I'll be the rid of Sunshine
14:39
Speaker 1: on the podcast, I'll make sure that I talked about
14:41
Speaker 1: the things that they can do. So because it was
14:43
Speaker 1: about week A couple of things that you do doing
14:45
Speaker 1: the book, you self scout and so the offensive defensive
14:48
Speaker 1: staffs have poured over the you know, the first part
14:51
Speaker 1: of the season. They looked at every play and they're
14:53
Speaker 1: trying to figure out, Okay, who are we as a team?
14:56
Speaker 1: What's the team identity? It's one thing to theorize how
14:58
Speaker 1: we're gonna play. It's another other thing to have a
15:00
Speaker 1: handful of games now on table where we can look
15:03
Speaker 1: at the strengths and weaknesses of the team. How can
15:05
Speaker 1: we play more towards the strengths and minimize the weaknesses.
15:08
Speaker 1: You talked about the team offensively, twenty three points me
15:11
Speaker 1: in a higher watermark. That's not going to win enough
15:13
Speaker 1: games in Nation Football League typically you need to get
15:15
Speaker 1: to twenty nine to be comfortable, and in the new league,
15:19
Speaker 1: thirty points will kind of guarantee you a level of
15:21
Speaker 1: success on offense. So can they play faster? Can they
15:25
Speaker 1: do more things with Trevor Lawrence to put them in
15:27
Speaker 1: the comfort zone? Are there guys who haven't gotten the
15:30
Speaker 1: ball yet consistently? They may need to touch the ball
15:33
Speaker 1: because their playmakers right now, James Robinson has head a
15:36
Speaker 1: heavy workload. We've seen Labiscus Chenault and Marvin Jones. Is
15:39
Speaker 1: there anybody else that you can throw in the mix
15:41
Speaker 1: to get them kind of to jump start and make
15:44
Speaker 1: more plays. Defensively, you talked about the coverage. The coverage
15:47
Speaker 1: has been very inconsistent on the perimeter, and when the
15:49
Speaker 1: coverage is inconsistent, you don't feel confident enough to bring
15:53
Speaker 1: pressure like Joe Collen wants to bring, and so tightening
15:56
Speaker 1: that part up in the practice field so everyone understands
15:59
Speaker 1: here the coverages that we can play because we're good
16:02
Speaker 1: at these, not so good at these other ones. Throw
16:04
Speaker 1: those guys out. Let's make it simple so the guys
16:06
Speaker 1: can play fast and create some negative place because at
16:09
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's about candid defense. Deliver
16:12
Speaker 1: some negative plays, turnovers, uh sacks, things that put the
16:16
Speaker 1: offense behind the chain. So now we can kind of
16:20
Speaker 1: tee off me into play in those favorable situations and
16:22
Speaker 1: make turnovers instead of the offense for easy scores. Now
16:25
Speaker 1: that's the type of play that we know of the
16:28
Speaker 1: Seattle defense over the years, maybe not so much this
16:31
Speaker 1: time around. They have not as many as familiar names
16:34
Speaker 1: as we know before. There are a couple left. Bobby
16:36
Speaker 1: Wagner still that team. He's second in the league and
16:39
Speaker 1: tackles so far and first among active NFL players and
16:43
Speaker 1: career tackles just over just under his career. Of course,
16:47
Speaker 1: he's he kind of leads away on that defense. Jamal
16:50
Speaker 1: Adams brought in and on the back end he's about
16:54
Speaker 1: as strong as it gets there. They have a rotation
16:56
Speaker 1: of guys up front, Bucky and you know, it's a
16:59
Speaker 1: defense that can still do some things that they have
17:01
Speaker 1: only two picks this year, I think three four s bumbles.
17:05
Speaker 1: They haven't really gotten the ball away a lot, but
17:08
Speaker 1: there are spots on those defense that can play. Yeah,
17:11
Speaker 1: there's certainly spots on the defense that can play. And
17:14
Speaker 1: I think the differences with Pete Carroll, you and him
17:16
Speaker 1: talking about it's all about the ball, it's all about turnovers,
17:19
Speaker 1: the negative plays and can they create those and right
17:21
Speaker 1: now the ceoc Haks haven't been able to do it.
17:24
Speaker 1: They're not a great defense, but they do have some
17:26
Speaker 1: star power. You pointed out the stars, Bobby Wagner, Jamal Adams,
17:31
Speaker 1: and for this defense to play well, those two guys
17:33
Speaker 1: have to be very, very active, and that means Jamal
17:36
Speaker 1: Adams near the line of scrimmage, uh blitzing, playing close
17:41
Speaker 1: and snug, making tackles for losses, generating sacks and those
17:44
Speaker 1: things in the passing game, because that's really what he
17:46
Speaker 1: does best. He's not a great cover guy. He's a
17:49
Speaker 1: better guy going forward, kind of like a young version
17:52
Speaker 1: of a Troy Polamalu type player and Bobby Wagner. You
17:55
Speaker 1: have a tackling machine, a sideline and the sideline guy
17:57
Speaker 1: who understands angle his great instincts and awareness and he
18:01
Speaker 1: goes make those plays. So he has to be covered
18:04
Speaker 1: up at all times so the running game can flourish.
18:06
Speaker 1: And so it's really simple if they can take away
18:08
Speaker 1: the two stars and make the other guys have to
18:10
Speaker 1: make plays more times than that they want, and that
18:13
Speaker 1: will give the Jaguars a huge advantage going on the
18:15
Speaker 1: road in a very tough environment to play. We think
18:19
Speaker 1: John it is a tough environment. First of all, it
18:21
Speaker 1: helps a defense like that on the road. We got
18:23
Speaker 1: the noise and everything going on, and the young quarterback
18:26
Speaker 1: and all the things on offense, but it's an offense
18:29
Speaker 1: that hasn't been able to consistently find themselves open down
18:33
Speaker 1: the field, and that's really the key to me. I
18:36
Speaker 1: it's why I'm so anxious to see this team over
18:37
Speaker 1: the next month, because you feel like they are doing
18:40
Speaker 1: fundamental things better. You feel like they are running the
18:43
Speaker 1: ball at a very high level, and that the one
18:47
Speaker 1: thing missing. Irban Meyer said, I think it was Monday
18:49
Speaker 1: or Wednesday. Monday. I guess the one thing missing is
18:52
Speaker 1: the home run thread. Yeah. I don't know that you
18:55
Speaker 1: all of a sudden get that. Even if Tyron Johnson
19:00
Speaker 1: or Jamal Agnew turn out to make more plays, I
19:03
Speaker 1: don't know that they're going to be the absolute Hey,
19:06
Speaker 1: we scare the defense every place, so I'm curious to
19:10
Speaker 1: see what the high end for this offense can be.
19:13
Speaker 1: I think they can be mid twenties. I don't know
19:16
Speaker 1: that they're gonna win shootouts. The good news is, I
19:18
Speaker 1: don't think you need to win a shoot out this weekend,
19:20
Speaker 1: and you need to play consistently, you need to overcome
19:22
Speaker 1: that crowd. Uh. You know, my guess is it's a
19:26
Speaker 1: seventeen fourteen, seventeen type game, and maybe maybe the Jags
19:31
Speaker 1: are kicking to fifty yard fields in the last three
19:33
Speaker 1: minutes again j BB Right, why not, we've proven it again?
19:37
Speaker 1: Do it again, Bucky? All right, there we go. There
19:38
Speaker 1: was a nice sandwich method that John used there, Like
19:41
Speaker 1: he got the negative comments and they're trying to sandwich
19:43
Speaker 1: some around a couple of positive comments. And so I
19:45
Speaker 1: am who was known for Hey, let's let's sleeve it,
19:49
Speaker 1: let's throw it around the yard, is now talking about
19:51
Speaker 1: seventeen fourteen games. Who wants to see ye a year? Buck,
20:00
Speaker 1: it's a little twenty four against this offense, you struggle
20:03
Speaker 1: like would be enough. So they have to find a
20:06
Speaker 1: way to get it done. And so John, it may
20:08
Speaker 1: require a trick player too. We saw last week that
20:12
Speaker 1: there were a lot of trick players utilized throughout the NFL.
20:16
Speaker 1: Reverse passes, double passes, on side kicks, faith pumps, all
20:20
Speaker 1: those things, because it has to be an all hands
20:22
Speaker 1: on deck situation because as laughable as it may seem,
20:26
Speaker 1: the division is still not out of reach. So you
20:28
Speaker 1: still have to kind of sell that to the team
20:31
Speaker 1: that hey, we get on the run, we put our
20:32
Speaker 1: sales in the position the last four games to make
20:34
Speaker 1: the meaningful. Who knows what can happen? So you kind
20:37
Speaker 1: of have to go all out. So Darryl Bebo, Braun Schottenheimer,
20:41
Speaker 1: the offense staff, they need to dig in a bag
20:42
Speaker 1: of tricks. It's Halloween, like, hey, I need them to
20:45
Speaker 1: throw all some stuff that makes some stuff happen, like
20:47
Speaker 1: maybe some candy corn with the pumpkins in it. You know,
20:50
Speaker 1: speaking of tricks, and I know we've got social coming up.
20:53
Speaker 1: Tell me about Laviska, but I mean it's a He's
20:57
Speaker 1: not a speed guy. I think he's ever gonna be
20:58
Speaker 1: a speed guy. But he's a threat. He's an interesting guy.
21:03
Speaker 1: How do you make him work when you don't have
21:06
Speaker 1: a guy over the top to scare the defense. It
21:09
Speaker 1: would be great if they had a burner. I think
21:11
Speaker 1: it would open up a lot for leavisc If they don't,
21:14
Speaker 1: how do you utilize him best? How does Bucky d
21:16
Speaker 1: oc use him? Well, I gotta make sure that he
21:19
Speaker 1: touches the ball, and I think he at a minimum,
21:21
Speaker 1: he has to be on the place he ate the
21:23
Speaker 1: twelve touches a game, and that those those touches have
21:27
Speaker 1: to be a combination of things uh fly sweeps, uh
21:31
Speaker 1: bubble screens, quick option routes where I get it to
21:34
Speaker 1: him in space. The best thing that Viscus Chenault does
21:37
Speaker 1: is he breaks tackle. He's a catch and run specialist,
21:40
Speaker 1: and with that size, I want to give him an
21:42
Speaker 1: opportunity to make some things happen. You are right, there's
21:45
Speaker 1: not a lot of speed on this offense. There's not
21:47
Speaker 1: a lot of explosiveness to deliver the big place and
21:50
Speaker 1: when you have to manufacture it, man, it's hard to
21:53
Speaker 1: go eighty yards on four or five yard plays. I mean,
21:56
Speaker 1: everything has to go right. The stars have to line
21:58
Speaker 1: up to make it happen. And so be because la
22:00
Speaker 1: Visca isn't explosive and dynamic player, you gotta give him
22:04
Speaker 1: more bites that the Apple got it. Y has to
22:05
Speaker 1: have more at bats. You gotta give him chances to
22:07
Speaker 1: make things happen. So I want to see a combination
22:09
Speaker 1: of runs, short passes, screens, things that he can touch
22:13
Speaker 1: it and kind of make it happen. We're returning just
22:15
Speaker 1: a moment and here from Shaquille Griffin, Jaguar's Cornerback headed
22:19
Speaker 1: back to Seattle and the social media question that's all
22:22
Speaker 1: coming up, and this is huddle Up with Bucky Brooks
22:24
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Hard Rock Sports Book Digital network. I'm
22:36
Speaker 1: working with this team. You know, I'm working with organization,
22:39
Speaker 1: so you know, kind of left for twelve Mr Twelves.
22:42
Speaker 1: But when I come in there, it's about Jack in
22:45
Speaker 1: the city behind himself. He said that you guys started
22:48
Speaker 1: telling it's allowed estrefall. I didn't try to tell him
22:52
Speaker 1: totally it is allowedest and uh get than gag. I'm
22:56
Speaker 1: on defense on opposite side, so I don't hear how
22:58
Speaker 1: that noise. You know, they're quite an offensive. That will
23:00
Speaker 1: be our person. You know, I'm usually on defense, the
23:03
Speaker 1: offer the post offense. I can't hear the call. There's
23:06
Speaker 1: a lot of things going on. But now I'm gonna
23:07
Speaker 1: quiet side. So yeah, that Shack Griffin. Today, Jaguar's cornerback
23:13
Speaker 1: headed back to Seattle, where he started his career as
23:16
Speaker 1: a draft pick out of Central Florida, and welcome back.
23:18
Speaker 1: It's huddle up with Bucky Brooks, JP Shattrick, John Osier
23:22
Speaker 1: and Buckey Brooks. Well, it's it's the homecoming that circled
23:26
Speaker 1: on the calendar. I'm sure he's trying to, you know,
23:28
Speaker 1: tone it down maybe a little bit, but he is
23:31
Speaker 1: going back to Seattle at least, but the first few
23:33
Speaker 1: years of his career there, and that's gotta be a
23:35
Speaker 1: big moment for Shock when he runs out on Sunday. Yeah,
23:39
Speaker 1: it we will be a big moment. And I can
23:41
Speaker 1: tell you haven't played in some of these games. When
23:43
Speaker 1: you play against former teams, doesn't be a little extra
23:45
Speaker 1: juice that Shaq plays with. It's just the nature of
23:48
Speaker 1: the beast. Whenever you have an opportunity to kind of
23:50
Speaker 1: stick it back to your former team, you can be
23:52
Speaker 1: excited about it. I think the one area where you
23:55
Speaker 1: can help this young team is kind of let them
23:57
Speaker 1: know what that environment is like, because with those we
24:00
Speaker 1: haven't been to a game up in the Pacific Northwest.
24:03
Speaker 1: In that stadium, it is different. It is a circus,
24:06
Speaker 1: it's loud, it's noisy. It makes you change the way
24:09
Speaker 1: you do business on offense, and if you give them
24:12
Speaker 1: a play early in the game, it kind of starts
24:15
Speaker 1: a feeding frenzy. And so he can talk to that,
24:18
Speaker 1: he can talk about how this team, the Seattle Seahawks,
24:20
Speaker 1: feed off the energy of the crowd, and just to
24:23
Speaker 1: let his guys know. But ultimately, you have to play.
24:25
Speaker 1: But I'm sure he is excited to get it done.
24:28
Speaker 1: He knows everything he'll be calling out audibles and all
24:30
Speaker 1: that that he knows from practice time. Then it's just
24:33
Speaker 1: gonna be about settling in and making plays. But he
24:36
Speaker 1: needs to play great because they need their corners to
24:39
Speaker 1: step up, take care of d k Mtcalf and Tyler
24:42
Speaker 1: Lockett and then get control of this running game and
24:44
Speaker 1: make Geno Smith have to make some plays. Let's gonna
24:48
Speaker 1: social media. I've got a question in the hopper today.
24:51
Speaker 1: We put out the bat signal earlier. Here's at Yoga
24:54
Speaker 1: Climber one. How well do you see our old line
24:57
Speaker 1: and d line playing and we're having an impact in
24:59
Speaker 1: the Seattle game. Thanks, let's starting the old line, buck Well.
25:03
Speaker 1: It's all about the offensive line and defensive lines in
25:06
Speaker 1: these matchups. And the offensive line has been better when
25:10
Speaker 1: they've been allowed to go forward as opposed to the
25:12
Speaker 1: one backwards, meaning when the running game has been prioritized
25:16
Speaker 1: very early in the game. This offense has gotten off
25:19
Speaker 1: to better starts. They're just better. They're more physical, they're
25:22
Speaker 1: able to play, They able to do those things um
25:24
Speaker 1: on the defenses out of the ball. It's really about
25:27
Speaker 1: containing a Seattle running game that has some creativity to it.
25:30
Speaker 1: It's a lot like dealing with the l A Rams
25:33
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh. A lot of trickery, a lot of deception.
25:36
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, they want to
25:37
Speaker 1: run the outside zone and the inside zone. There are
25:39
Speaker 1: a bunch of different ways that they get to it,
25:41
Speaker 1: but they want to run those two things. You stop
25:43
Speaker 1: those players, you have a good chance of stopping them.
25:45
Speaker 1: All Right, there you go. Our social media for the
25:48
Speaker 1: day is in the books. Will come back in a moment.
25:50
Speaker 1: Final thoughts from Johnny oh and Bucky Brooks and you're
25:53
Speaker 1: truly Before the Jaguars and the Seahawks matchup in Week eight,
25:56
Speaker 1: this just huddle up with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars
25:59
Speaker 1: Hard Rucks works book, Digital Network, Welcome Back, It's out
26:06
Speaker 1: Up with Bucky Brooks on a Wednesday afternoon, and the
26:10
Speaker 1: schedule at Daily's Place starting to wind down for the fall.
26:14
Speaker 1: Only a couple of shows remaining Kane Brown two nights
26:17
Speaker 1: November twelve and November a couple of weeks away from Kane,
26:23
Speaker 1: That's the That's a Proudy and Saturday. These are rescheduled
26:26
Speaker 1: shows from last year. Tickets at Daily's Place dot com.
26:30
Speaker 1: John how many Daily shows did you hit this this year,
26:33
Speaker 1: this year, I think I think I can get out there.
26:39
Speaker 1: I last went before the pandemic. I took my mother
26:43
Speaker 1: to see Brian Adams. That was the scene. Beyond that,
26:47
Speaker 1: I hadn't been in a while, so it's uh, I
26:52
Speaker 1: haven't been to look forward to going something. I will
26:54
Speaker 1: not be seeing Kane Brown, as I could not pick
26:56
Speaker 1: him out of the lineup. But I think a lot
26:58
Speaker 1: of people exciting if we need to get Johns. We
27:01
Speaker 1: need to get John some tickets to Kane Brown so
27:03
Speaker 1: you can have a little different, a little different here,
27:06
Speaker 1: a little you know, a little something for you. You
27:09
Speaker 1: might wait country country music. Country. I love country. MutS
27:17
Speaker 1: don't know it's about Kane Brown. Although I'm sure he's wonderful.
27:21
Speaker 1: He's gonna be here for two nights. You have two chances,
27:24
Speaker 1: two nights like that. I like that one night only
27:31
Speaker 1: in Seattle, one afternoon on leaving for the Jaguars and
27:34
Speaker 1: the Seahawks four oh five. The Seahawks are looking for
27:38
Speaker 1: one there, They for their prospective Bucky. They can't let
27:41
Speaker 1: this NFC West get too far away, because you know
27:45
Speaker 1: they've got some really good teams out there to keep
27:47
Speaker 1: up with. Yeah, they have some good teams to keep
27:49
Speaker 1: up with him. Right now, you talking about two teams
27:51
Speaker 1: playing great Arizona in l A and so they're chasing them,
27:55
Speaker 1: and so the Seahawks and the forty nine is a
27:58
Speaker 1: trying to dig themselves out of the hole did and
28:00
Speaker 1: so they understand there'd be a level of urgency to this.
28:03
Speaker 1: And this should be great for young Jaguars team going
28:06
Speaker 1: in because the urgency in the environment will remind them
28:09
Speaker 1: it would be very close to like a playoff atmosphere
28:12
Speaker 1: because the win would go home mentality that the Seahawks
28:15
Speaker 1: have to adapt. And so the Jaguars will even rise
28:18
Speaker 1: up to the intensity and the level of competition, or
28:21
Speaker 1: they're kind of collapsed and will under the pressure of
28:25
Speaker 1: not only what the team is doing on the field,
28:27
Speaker 1: but the environment and the noise and all the craziness
28:30
Speaker 1: and energy that would be in the stadium. I think
28:33
Speaker 1: an important thing to point out JP and I talked
28:35
Speaker 1: to John Boyle, who is the Seahawks version of me,
28:38
Speaker 1: which he wouldn't like that, but that's what he is. Um,
28:42
Speaker 1: they're probably out of the division chase there two and five,
28:45
Speaker 1: and and here's the Cardinals are seven and out. Rams
28:48
Speaker 1: are six and wine. That's a tough get. But the
28:52
Speaker 1: NFC wild Card chase is not at all out of
28:55
Speaker 1: Seattle's round possibility. And Seattle has been through this enough
28:59
Speaker 1: as an ordization. They've gotten in the playoffs multiple ways,
29:03
Speaker 1: and they know from experience being in the playoffs as
29:06
Speaker 1: long as you get in, you get a chance. So again,
29:08
Speaker 1: I think this is very much desperate team syndrome. They're
29:12
Speaker 1: fighting desperate team on the road in that house with
29:15
Speaker 1: the Jaguars going on a road trip. Negative Nelly doesn't
29:18
Speaker 1: like the chances, but I am intrigued, very interested to
29:23
Speaker 1: see how a young, improving Jaguars teams handles this. To me,
29:27
Speaker 1: this is one if you're close, if you're competitive in
29:30
Speaker 1: this game, if you lose a field or something like that,
29:34
Speaker 1: if you compete in this thing, it's impressive to me.
29:37
Speaker 1: I think it's a big test for a young team Lucky.
29:39
Speaker 1: I think it's stuff that you talked about earlier. If
29:41
Speaker 1: if Seattle gets an early advantage of fumble recovery and
29:45
Speaker 1: a short field, they're up two scores, ten points and
29:48
Speaker 1: it's sold. But it's really tough. At that point, it
29:50
Speaker 1: is tough. It is tough. But then you'd like to
29:52
Speaker 1: think that the early lessons have kind of uh taken
29:56
Speaker 1: hold and maybe the team can bounce back from that.
29:58
Speaker 1: So a slow start, if it does happy, you would
30:00
Speaker 1: like the thing to do kind of dig down and
30:02
Speaker 1: kind of bring the game back to the simplest form
30:05
Speaker 1: where you just focus on one play at a time. Um, look,
30:08
Speaker 1: this is a tough team, but I'm not going to
30:09
Speaker 1: make the Seattle Seahaks out like that. They're leagion the boom. Now.
30:12
Speaker 1: This is not thirteen and fourteen where they're dominating everybody
30:16
Speaker 1: right now, it's more reputation than what we're actually seeing
30:20
Speaker 1: on the field. Is that more so than performance and production?
30:23
Speaker 1: And so if they can wipe that away, and if
30:25
Speaker 1: some of the young Jaguars can go out there and
30:28
Speaker 1: not think that Earl Thomas and Richard Sherman and all
30:31
Speaker 1: of those guys are gonna be on the field, they
30:33
Speaker 1: can go total total and knock them out. And so
30:35
Speaker 1: this would be a huge win. And I think it's
30:36
Speaker 1: really important that Urban gets those guys to kind of
30:39
Speaker 1: see him his nameless, blankless faces and just go play
30:41
Speaker 1: because they are not what they've been there own three
30:45
Speaker 1: at the house and so as much as I can
30:47
Speaker 1: talk about that frenzied environment, they've still been taking a
30:50
Speaker 1: lot of losses, a lot of ills in their home environment.
30:53
Speaker 1: They certainly have. Bucky, would you like to one up
30:56
Speaker 1: that and lock the Jaguars win? Oh, come on there,
31:00
Speaker 1: this is dude. We gotta go to to two in
31:01
Speaker 1: a row. Two in a row is a new season.
31:03
Speaker 1: Here we go like we if we had the right uniform,
31:06
Speaker 1: uh combination on Like it's a done deal. So yes,
31:09
Speaker 1: I'll locked that locked. That's what they say there. It
31:13
Speaker 1: is locked down. He locked down, Looming Field, it's locked.
31:19
Speaker 1: Uh John negative, woe. Nelly over here is not locking
31:23
Speaker 1: it it? John Jack? Could you bring me a little
31:26
Speaker 1: turf back if you go? Are you going to a
31:28
Speaker 1: little turf back like snif down we start doing? Yeah,
31:35
Speaker 1: we can start. We canna start the last miles thing.
31:37
Speaker 1: We can start taking a little turf but this everywhere
