0:56
Speaker 1: of other assistants and staff members for this team. Uh,
1:00
Speaker 1: John Osier with me here in Jacksonville. High John even outside. Yeah,
1:05
Speaker 1: let's say my rain a little day. Yeah, he has
1:07
Speaker 1: a little bit I think there's more coming in the
1:09
Speaker 1: next couple of days. Bucky Brooks is in Los Angeles,
1:13
Speaker 1: where it is probably seventy five and beautiful like always.
1:17
Speaker 1: H I mean, it's it's I mean, it's it's pretty nice.
1:20
Speaker 1: I hear. I mean, I know you guys like for
1:23
Speaker 1: me to give whether update, give you whether update. Uh,
1:26
Speaker 1: it's it's it's dry heat, it's nine, it's ninety one
1:35
Speaker 1: in the city. But it's it's nice and sunny. You
1:36
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about getting wet. So uh, yes,
1:40
Speaker 1: a look different than what it is out there. All right,
1:42
Speaker 1: let's good here. No, it's it's gonna deteriorate, I think
1:45
Speaker 1: over the next twenty four hours here in Jacksonville or
1:47
Speaker 1: in the northeast Florida area. So let's start off with
1:51
Speaker 1: the head coach who spoke earlier today, Doug Peterson headed
1:54
Speaker 1: back to Philadelphia, where his emotions. Yeah, I mean that's great,
2:00
Speaker 1: you know, and everything, and and I appreciate that, you know,
2:02
Speaker 1: from the team, but you know, look, this is a
2:04
Speaker 1: good football team, and we understand that it is still
2:07
Speaker 1: week four. You know, there's a lot of football ahead
2:09
Speaker 1: of us, and and uh, you know, we just gotta.
2:12
Speaker 1: We just gotta prepare, you know, and and do do
2:14
Speaker 1: the right things during the week. And that includes me,
2:17
Speaker 1: you know, And I gotta I gotta stick to my
2:19
Speaker 1: routine and and stay diligent with that and study into
2:22
Speaker 1: planning and um, you know, prepare myself just like the
2:26
Speaker 1: players do. So you know, it starts with me and
2:28
Speaker 1: and um, you know, I'll keep relaying that message to
2:32
Speaker 1: the team. There you have it. He's going to be
2:34
Speaker 1: modest Bucky going into this thing, but there's gonna be
2:37
Speaker 1: a little tang of something. I'm sure when he runs
2:40
Speaker 1: out of the tunnel the first time. Uh, you know,
2:43
Speaker 1: he's just like a player. It'll always be personal when
2:46
Speaker 1: you have an opportunity to go back and someone to
2:47
Speaker 1: dismiss you. Because never forget, he was fired from that.
2:50
Speaker 1: He led a team to a super Bowl and then
2:52
Speaker 1: shortly thereafter he was fired, and so he may play
2:55
Speaker 1: it cool and calm on the outside, but and on
2:58
Speaker 1: the inside, Yeah, it's a per some the deal. And
3:00
Speaker 1: I'm sure he conveyed that to his players, whether he
3:03
Speaker 1: does it overtly or with his intensity and practice this week,
3:07
Speaker 1: they will certainly get the message that this is a
3:09
Speaker 1: big game for him. Yeah, it's a very unique situation. Um.
3:13
Speaker 1: Most coaches who lead their teams to Super Bowls, uh,
3:17
Speaker 1: sort of have a lifetime pass. I mean it's uh
3:20
Speaker 1: so it's a unique situation in that sense. Um, But Bucky,
3:26
Speaker 1: you've known Doug for a long time. I think it'll
3:29
Speaker 1: be inside. I think it'll be done low key. I
3:33
Speaker 1: don't think it's gonna affect how he approaches anything, but
3:37
Speaker 1: certainly when he runs out of that tunnel for the
3:39
Speaker 1: first time Sunday, I expect him to be cheered. You
3:45
Speaker 1: wouldn't be human if if there weren't some pretty intense
3:48
Speaker 1: emotions there. He spent five years in Philly at some
3:51
Speaker 1: intense times. Even if you don't leave the team to
3:53
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, uh, if you don't have a statue
3:55
Speaker 1: out front. So it's a unique story. It really is.
4:01
Speaker 1: It really is. And I think the one thing that
4:04
Speaker 1: he will have to caution against on game day is
4:07
Speaker 1: keeping his emotions in check. He is going to want
4:10
Speaker 1: to unload the clip in Philadelphia when it comes to
4:13
Speaker 1: play calling and going after them and hanging a forty
4:16
Speaker 1: berg and all that other stuff. But he is going
4:19
Speaker 1: to have to restrain himself from trying to do too
4:21
Speaker 1: much too soon if he stays to the script. The
4:23
Speaker 1: Jaguars had plenty of opportunities to put points on the
4:26
Speaker 1: board and exploit a team that likes to play a
4:28
Speaker 1: lot of his own. But he can't try and blow
4:31
Speaker 1: them out from the jump because then they get ahead
4:33
Speaker 1: of himself and he put pressure on himself and his players,
4:36
Speaker 1: and they'll be able to sense that in the play calls.
4:38
Speaker 1: I love to know what him unloading the clip looks like.
4:41
Speaker 1: I mean, he goes for it on fourth and twenty
4:43
Speaker 1: from his own five, But I mean, how much more
4:45
Speaker 1: aggressive can a man be? Just cut the punter? Why not?
4:51
Speaker 1: I mean, next geez, I'm kidding. Of course, I can't
4:55
Speaker 1: wait to see aggressive Doug if this isn't it right?
4:59
Speaker 1: So we'll see. But I'm with you that that's gonna
5:01
Speaker 1: be and not only for him, but a lot of
5:03
Speaker 1: other assistants on the staff spend time with that organization
5:06
Speaker 1: and a homecoming of sorts. Now, the Jaguars quarterback Trevor
5:10
Speaker 1: Lawrence named the a f C Offensive Player of the
5:13
Speaker 1: Week and Bucky the last time the Jaguars had an
5:16
Speaker 1: offensive a f C Player of the Week. David Gerrard
5:23
Speaker 1: I think Trevor Lawrence was eleven years old when that happened.
5:25
Speaker 1: It's pretty amazing. That's people David Garrod. I would have
5:30
Speaker 1: lost the tribute thing because I would have been Fred Taylor,
5:33
Speaker 1: m j D somebody like that. I did not have
5:35
Speaker 1: David Garad at front of mine. But that's a good one.
5:38
Speaker 1: I think it's I think he's great recognition for Trevor Um.
5:42
Speaker 1: I think maybe it gets some of the people off
5:45
Speaker 1: his back who were disappointed in his play through the
5:47
Speaker 1: first year and some change. I think we have seen
5:51
Speaker 1: the steady progression. I think we've seen of late what
5:54
Speaker 1: Trevor could be when things are dialed in, when the
5:57
Speaker 1: play caller is setting him up were uh six Tess,
6:00
Speaker 1: and when the players around him are all on the
6:02
Speaker 1: same page. I think there are a lot of things
6:04
Speaker 1: to be excited about. And I would say this, he's
6:07
Speaker 1: just scratching the surface of the potential and what he
6:10
Speaker 1: could be at this level. He is not even fully
6:14
Speaker 1: figured it out. When he fully gets dialed in and
6:17
Speaker 1: has the confidence of knowing and anticipating what is about
6:20
Speaker 1: to happen from the defense, then the Jaguars offense will
6:24
Speaker 1: be a lot of fun to watch because he'll start
6:26
Speaker 1: carving people up the way that we think that he
6:27
Speaker 1: will be able to win a few years. But you know,
6:30
Speaker 1: we're in no huddle mode today. Uh. But but it's
6:34
Speaker 1: such an important topic. Give me one thing that Trevor
6:38
Speaker 1: has been doing the last couple of weeks that really
6:41
Speaker 1: stands out as Okay, he's doing this. This shows me
6:45
Speaker 1: that he is on his way to being elite, because
6:48
Speaker 1: there were some questions in the first eight teen games. Uh.
6:52
Speaker 1: And you serve you sure feel from watching it like
6:56
Speaker 1: you're watching something solid right now. I think number one
6:59
Speaker 1: thing that I'm seeing his patients and discipline. We haven't
7:03
Speaker 1: seen Trevor Lawrence really trying and make what I call
7:05
Speaker 1: those hero throws in the traffic where the ball can
7:09
Speaker 1: be turned over. He's done a really good job of
7:12
Speaker 1: sticking to the offense, allowing the offense to work for him,
7:15
Speaker 1: and he just really throws the ball to the open man.
7:18
Speaker 1: He hasn't necessarily been bogged down with a this is
7:21
Speaker 1: my number one receiver. I gotta make sure I feed him.
7:23
Speaker 1: He is really uh from my particularly on the sideline,
7:27
Speaker 1: goes through his progressions. First guy to gets open as
7:29
Speaker 1: a guy that gets the ball, and so if we
7:30
Speaker 1: think about this being a half court basketball game, he's
7:34
Speaker 1: hitting the open man. He's just being a terrific distributor.
7:37
Speaker 1: And as long as he's able to kind of restrain
7:39
Speaker 1: himself and avoid trying to do too much, this offense
7:42
Speaker 1: will flow. And I think it's a very difficult offense
7:45
Speaker 1: to defend because there's not the one notable guy that
7:48
Speaker 1: you have to defend. You actually have to defend five
7:51
Speaker 1: eligible receivers and deal with the running game, which makes
7:54
Speaker 1: it very very challenging for a defense coordinate to come
7:56
Speaker 1: up with a plan. And they're moving all over the
7:58
Speaker 1: field in certain situation and so it can be difficult
8:01
Speaker 1: to line up against this Jaguars offense. We're back in
8:04
Speaker 1: a moment. We'll take a look at the Philadelphia Eagles.
8:06
Speaker 1: They are three and oh at the top the NFC East.
8:09
Speaker 1: Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks is brought to you by
8:11
Speaker 1: Fields Auto Group, Jacksonville. Step up to Luxury Fields Auto
8:15
Speaker 1: dot com. This is Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks on
8:18
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Digital Network. Welcome back. It's Huddle Up with
8:28
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks JP Shadrick, John Osier and Bucky Brooks it's Wednesday.
8:34
Speaker 1: It's Week four the Jaguars and the Philadelphia Eagles. The
8:38
Speaker 1: Jaguars will visit the fighting city of Philadelphia coming up.
8:42
Speaker 1: Lincoln Financial Field the site for this game, and they'll
8:45
Speaker 1: face Bucky A three at oh Eagles football team that
8:49
Speaker 1: if you listen to the team themselves up there and
8:53
Speaker 1: those around the team talk about it, they haven't really
8:55
Speaker 1: played a complete game yet. They've had, you know, a
8:58
Speaker 1: quarter here and then have scored in the second half
9:01
Speaker 1: or vice versa. The defense has played well either way.
9:04
Speaker 1: They've won three games or in first place, and they've
9:06
Speaker 1: got some veteran guys on defense to get it done there.
9:09
Speaker 1: They've got a quarterback that's caring and and playing well,
9:13
Speaker 1: a dual threat guy. And this is a team if
9:16
Speaker 1: they really figure it out, they could be right there
9:18
Speaker 1: at the top of a lot of this year. It's
9:22
Speaker 1: a very talented team. It's a team is playing really,
9:24
Speaker 1: really well. Jaden Hurst is coming to his own in
9:26
Speaker 1: year three. I think it's the steady progression that has
9:29
Speaker 1: really impressed a lot of people, even his critics. I
9:32
Speaker 1: don't know if anyone expected him to get him to
9:34
Speaker 1: be this kind of player at this stage of his career,
9:38
Speaker 1: but what he has always been and having known him
9:41
Speaker 1: from him lead to eleven when he was in high school.
9:42
Speaker 1: He's a diligent worker and he's an outstanding leader. And
9:45
Speaker 1: what you're seeing is this team take on the personality
9:48
Speaker 1: of the quarterback, hard working, blue collar, tough as Nail's guy.
9:52
Speaker 1: He brings some unique skills and talents to the field.
9:55
Speaker 1: He's a terrific, powerful runner, and that that running sets
9:59
Speaker 1: the able for what the Philadelphia Eagles have been able
10:02
Speaker 1: to do. This is a team that wants to run
10:05
Speaker 1: it at you. Didn't want to run it between the tackles.
10:06
Speaker 1: They want to punish you in that regard. But then
10:09
Speaker 1: he's improved so much as a pass or that you're
10:12
Speaker 1: not able to really solely focus on stopping the run
10:14
Speaker 1: game because a j Brown and DeVante Smith and Dallas
10:17
Speaker 1: got It can hurt you. So to date, this will
10:20
Speaker 1: be the toughest test for the Jaguars defense. But if
10:24
Speaker 1: their style on defense is to beat people up, this
10:27
Speaker 1: would be a great challenge to see if they can
10:29
Speaker 1: be more physical than the Philadelphia Eagles, because it's going
10:32
Speaker 1: to require that kind of physicality to slow this offense down. Yeah,
10:36
Speaker 1: I think it's it's it's strength on strength. In terms
10:39
Speaker 1: of the Eagles think that that the reason they're good
10:41
Speaker 1: is their offensive line. And the Jaguars, I mean, I
10:44
Speaker 1: think they think they're good for number of reasons, but
10:47
Speaker 1: I think probably the biggest is their defensive front seven.
10:51
Speaker 1: So it's strength on strength in that sense. And now
10:53
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts to me is one of the more remarkable
10:55
Speaker 1: stories in the league. You talk about a guy who
10:58
Speaker 1: is almost overlooked by default. At times, people just don't
11:04
Speaker 1: really want to think about him as a lead. They
11:06
Speaker 1: don't want to think of He's not this, he's not
11:09
Speaker 1: that well. He's playing as well as any quarterback in
11:11
Speaker 1: the league. And what an incredible story. I mean, not JP,
11:14
Speaker 1: you know what, as you follow Obama, but transfers because
11:17
Speaker 1: it too and then goes to the Eagles and nobody
11:19
Speaker 1: really thinks of them as potential franchise, and all of
11:21
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's sort of a blink and you miss
11:24
Speaker 1: it kind of thing. All of a sudden, he's an
11:26
Speaker 1: MVP candidate, uh and talking to uh Josh Allen the
11:29
Speaker 1: locker room. Just now you you have to rush a
11:33
Speaker 1: little differently against a guy like this, not completely differently, Josh.
11:36
Speaker 1: You have to be aggressive and go after it, but
11:38
Speaker 1: in the back of your mind you have to be
11:39
Speaker 1: aware of that mobility and it it gives defenses all
11:44
Speaker 1: kinds of problems. And it's uh, it's it's a dramatically
11:48
Speaker 1: different set of problems that Jaguar's face this week as
11:55
Speaker 1: the first three weeks. And I think it's it's it's
11:57
Speaker 1: clearly their toughest test, uh, and one that I think
12:01
Speaker 1: will be hope the Jaguars take is close at the end.
12:07
Speaker 1: I think these guys are good. Yeah, they're good, and
12:09
Speaker 1: they're healthy. As much as you don't want to talk
12:12
Speaker 1: about the Colts in the Chargers health that was a factor,
12:16
Speaker 1: and and Eagles are fully loaded. Well, this will be
12:20
Speaker 1: the first team that really really is going to be
12:22
Speaker 1: committed to running the football. We thought the end and
12:24
Speaker 1: out of his coats, we're going to do that, but
12:26
Speaker 1: they didn't in the matchup. This is different because the
12:30
Speaker 1: Eagles forced you to play eleven on eleven football because
12:33
Speaker 1: the quarterback is a runner. So normally defenses have a
12:37
Speaker 1: plus one advantage when it comes to defending run because
12:39
Speaker 1: you ignore the quarterback. But because Jalen Hursts is a
12:42
Speaker 1: runner and now evens out the numbers and someone must
12:45
Speaker 1: be assigned to him at all times. And what that
12:48
Speaker 1: does is that create opportunities for the running backs to
12:51
Speaker 1: be able to get loose when he pulls and fakes
12:53
Speaker 1: on the back side and those things. And so it'll
12:56
Speaker 1: be interesting to see how the game plan is designed
12:59
Speaker 1: to nutral lies him as a runner. Do we still
13:02
Speaker 1: believe that the best course of action is take away
13:05
Speaker 1: the run and make Jalen Hurts beat you through the air.
13:09
Speaker 1: Through three games, he's been able to do it. But
13:11
Speaker 1: in this game, can you do it when you bring pressure?
13:14
Speaker 1: That will kind of be the million dollar question, and
13:16
Speaker 1: ultimately I believe that would be the deciding factor. And
13:19
Speaker 1: whether the Jaguars and getting can make Jalen Hurts be
13:23
Speaker 1: a passer and slow him down when he's forced to throw.
13:26
Speaker 1: Does the what I would call multiple athleticism of the Jaguars,
13:31
Speaker 1: meaning you've got Walker, You've got Alan, you've got Devin Lloyd,
13:35
Speaker 1: all of whom could theoretically spy. Yeah, maybe Walk, you know,
13:40
Speaker 1: but you think it'd be Lloyd. But the combination of
13:44
Speaker 1: that level of athleticism up front, how much does that
13:47
Speaker 1: help against Hurts being able, you know, to have a
13:50
Speaker 1: bunch of guys who you feel I can chase. Oh,
13:53
Speaker 1: this is a battle of the wheels, because this is
13:55
Speaker 1: a battle that would be determined in the trenches. The
13:57
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles offensive line is one of the best in
14:00
Speaker 1: the business. They pride themselves and being able to kind
14:03
Speaker 1: of play bullyball in a different way when it comes
14:05
Speaker 1: to their running game. I mean, since they decided to
14:07
Speaker 1: run and change their offense in the middle of the year,
14:09
Speaker 1: they've been averaging well over a hundred and seventy hundred
14:11
Speaker 1: eighty rushing yards on the ground. I mean, this is
14:13
Speaker 1: a team that I mean, there's whole school in terms
14:16
Speaker 1: of how they go about it. But you talked to
14:19
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. The Jaguars pride themselves and beating people up
14:21
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage. And so the one thing
14:24
Speaker 1: that we haven't seen is someone punished a quarterback who's
14:27
Speaker 1: decided to run it. And we're not talking about putting
14:29
Speaker 1: them to the sideline, but at some point, Trayvon Walker,
14:33
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Devin Lloyd, you have to hit the quarterback
14:36
Speaker 1: because that has discouraged all that running stuff. And then
14:39
Speaker 1: the numbers go back into the Jaguars favorite when it
14:41
Speaker 1: comes to playing defense. Alright, guys, when we come back,
14:44
Speaker 1: we'll get into this Eagles defense a little bit more.
14:47
Speaker 1: Some salty vets have been at it for a long
14:50
Speaker 1: time on that side of the football for the Eagles.
14:52
Speaker 1: And how the Jaguars offense matches up this week, the
14:55
Speaker 1: Jags and the Eagles coming up. It's huddle up with
14:57
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network. Well, it just
15:06
Speaker 1: shows that he is progressing. Number one, number two. I
15:10
Speaker 1: think the guys around him, you know, we're playing extremely well,
15:13
Speaker 1: meaning the offensive line and really everybody on on offense,
15:18
Speaker 1: you know, and and just it's it's it's part of
15:21
Speaker 1: our you know, the progression of of our offense and
15:26
Speaker 1: these steps that we need to take to be a
15:28
Speaker 1: to be a great offense in this league. You know,
15:31
Speaker 1: we're not there yet, but but that's a that's a
15:33
Speaker 1: step in the right direction. And um, you know, he
15:35
Speaker 1: understands too that he can't get that type of recognition
15:39
Speaker 1: without the guys around him offense playing well. The quarterback
15:42
Speaker 1: wins the a f C Offensive Player of the Week
15:45
Speaker 1: after his performance against the l A Chargers last week.
15:48
Speaker 1: Three touchdounds no interceptions, no sacks, ran the ball, did
15:54
Speaker 1: a lot of things well on offense. Welcome back. It's
15:56
Speaker 1: huddle up with Bucky Brooks, JP Shadrick, John Osier and
15:58
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks is in l A. The Jaguars had to
16:01
Speaker 1: filling to face the Eagles. Alright, Bucky, this Uh, this
16:06
Speaker 1: Eagles defense, where do you start with them? They have
16:10
Speaker 1: some veterans at each level of the defense, and it's
16:13
Speaker 1: a group that can can do some things very very well.
16:18
Speaker 1: Let's say that you know it's a salty group. You
16:22
Speaker 1: have plenty of veterans, but you gotta mixing young guys too. Uh.
16:25
Speaker 1: The one thing about the Philly Eagles, they're built the
16:27
Speaker 1: right way with a mix of homegrown guys and some
16:30
Speaker 1: aging guys who understand how to win a high level defensively.
16:34
Speaker 1: What they do is a bit of a read and
16:36
Speaker 1: react defense. Uh. They want to take away the deep ball.
16:39
Speaker 1: They want to force you to drive the length of
16:40
Speaker 1: the field on a bunch of short passes. And they're
16:42
Speaker 1: willing to play the odds to say that you cannot
16:45
Speaker 1: drive the length of the field without making a mistake.
16:47
Speaker 1: It a penalty, a negative play or turn over, and
16:50
Speaker 1: so that's how they want to play. They mixed in
16:53
Speaker 1: more man coverage than before, but they really want to
16:56
Speaker 1: play his own coverage. They want to keep their eyes
16:58
Speaker 1: on the quarterback. They want to run and alley to
17:00
Speaker 1: the ball and make good tackles in space, and they
17:02
Speaker 1: believe that that is their formula for success. Jonathan Gannon
17:05
Speaker 1: worked up in the matt ebra flews for a long
17:08
Speaker 1: time and so everything that you go see is hit
17:11
Speaker 1: running cover. They're gonna run to the ball like a
17:13
Speaker 1: bunch of wild wolves, and the Jaguars have to be
17:16
Speaker 1: ready to protect the ball because they're always gonna go
17:19
Speaker 1: after So this would be a game to test the
17:21
Speaker 1: discipline not only of Trevor Lawrence, but of all the players.
17:24
Speaker 1: You gotta take care of the ball because they're playing
17:26
Speaker 1: for the turnover. Yeah, here's how good and balance this
17:30
Speaker 1: Eagles team is. We've moved on to defense and didn't
17:34
Speaker 1: talk about a j Brown. I mean, this team has
17:37
Speaker 1: a lot of good players there. They're an odd team
17:40
Speaker 1: to me because I didn't think about them that much
17:42
Speaker 1: before the season began, and then you kind of look
17:45
Speaker 1: up and look back on last season. Midway through last seasons,
17:48
Speaker 1: like he said, they changed their course a little bit.
17:50
Speaker 1: They had a rally to make the playoffs. They're a good,
17:53
Speaker 1: solid team that has it has a real chance to
17:56
Speaker 1: represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. Um Fletcher Cox,
18:00
Speaker 1: I think is a big deal, big matchup this week
18:03
Speaker 1: against the interior, this Jaguars offensive line, and they really improved.
18:08
Speaker 1: Oh and here Bucky real quick talk about how much
18:11
Speaker 1: better they are at corner because in addition to a
18:14
Speaker 1: j Brown, that was a huge area that they knew
18:16
Speaker 1: they needed to address this offseason. How did their corners
18:19
Speaker 1: match up against these Jags receivers and what level of
18:22
Speaker 1: matchup is that. Look, it's a good matchup. It's a
18:25
Speaker 1: good matchup because what you have are two veterans. You
18:27
Speaker 1: have James Bradbury on one side and then you have
18:29
Speaker 1: Darius Slay on the other. Darius Slay is playing like
18:32
Speaker 1: an All Pro player through the first three weeks of
18:34
Speaker 1: the season. We saw him in a matchup with Justin
18:37
Speaker 1: Jefferson go toe to toe, didn't back down, played man
18:40
Speaker 1: the man, challenged him all over and made like very
18:42
Speaker 1: very difficult for the Pro Bowl receiver. Uh and Bradbury,
18:45
Speaker 1: what you have is just a steady, yet he dependable
18:48
Speaker 1: zone corner long range. He does a good job getting
18:51
Speaker 1: his hands on people and so he can he fits
18:54
Speaker 1: in will with what they want to do because he's
18:56
Speaker 1: a strong tackler. The trick will be Doug Peterson has
19:00
Speaker 1: always been. He's been in his bag. Uh this season,
19:03
Speaker 1: he's found a way to create favorable matchups by formation, deployment,
19:07
Speaker 1: free snap movement and those things. So what is he
19:10
Speaker 1: discovered on tape to give the Philadelphia Eagles problem. We'll
19:15
Speaker 1: see that very early in the game. And the one
19:17
Speaker 1: thing that I do like about Doug as a play
19:19
Speaker 1: caller man, once he finds that source spot, he's going
19:22
Speaker 1: to go to it over and over again until you
19:25
Speaker 1: correct it. So the first couple of drives will know
19:28
Speaker 1: how he views this Eagles defense because he's going to
19:31
Speaker 1: try and put them in a bad situation, and once
19:34
Speaker 1: he's able to exploit them, he's gonna stay with it
19:36
Speaker 1: until they're able to remedy this problem. All right, guys,
19:39
Speaker 1: let's come back our final thoughts ahead of Week number four,
19:44
Speaker 1: the Jaguars and the Philadelphia Eagles coming up a Lincoln
19:48
Speaker 1: Financial Field, and remember to subscribe to the Official Jaguars
19:51
Speaker 1: podcast network and iHeart Radio iTunes, Spotify or wherever you
19:54
Speaker 1: download your podcasts. Give us that five star rating and
19:57
Speaker 1: a comment as always, and Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks
20:00
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Digital Network. Welcome back. Final moments of
20:06
Speaker 1: Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks, presented by the Fields Auto Group.
20:09
Speaker 1: And we take a look outside. This is the Miller
20:13
Speaker 1: Electric Center under construction. Construction has stopped. It appears probably
20:19
Speaker 1: for a few days. Hurricane Ian or is it Ian? Yeah,
20:25
Speaker 1: one of the two. That's not so the case. Down
20:30
Speaker 1: in the southwest part of the state right now, they're
20:32
Speaker 1: they're feeling the full effects of it. We will in
20:35
Speaker 1: northeast Florida the next day or so. And yes, currently
20:41
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, it is. It's rained a little bit today.
20:46
Speaker 1: There's a storm surge warning at the moment at seventy
20:48
Speaker 1: one degrees and it's only going to at least deteriorate
20:53
Speaker 1: the next really two days chance of rain tropical storm conditions, Bucky,
20:59
Speaker 1: So here we go scrap in and hang on. And
21:00
Speaker 1: then the team is still planning to leave Saturday and
21:04
Speaker 1: head to Philadelphia, and there might be some slight schedule
21:07
Speaker 1: adjustments with Doug Peterson's keeping the schedule as close to
21:12
Speaker 1: normal as he can, even through the circumstances of the storm, Buckey,
21:15
Speaker 1: and that's that's just Doug Peterson wanted to keep it
21:18
Speaker 1: as close as he can. The team might be together
21:20
Speaker 1: in a hotel just to keep everybody close by, but hey,
21:23
Speaker 1: they're still going to work and getting things done now.
21:26
Speaker 1: I think I think one thing that you want from
21:28
Speaker 1: a coach and from your team is you want to
21:30
Speaker 1: continue to have a consistent structure when it comes to
21:32
Speaker 1: the practice plan and the way you go about doing
21:34
Speaker 1: your business. And so as much as you can, you
21:37
Speaker 1: want to stick to the script that has been very
21:39
Speaker 1: successful for you. And so even if requires you did
21:42
Speaker 1: not be on the field, but to be on the
21:44
Speaker 1: end door, or to do more walk throughs as opposed
21:46
Speaker 1: to for practice, you would like the timing of everything
21:49
Speaker 1: to remain the same. These guys are pros and they
21:52
Speaker 1: understand it. But what you don't want to do is
21:54
Speaker 1: allow uh, the hurricane and all the things around it
21:58
Speaker 1: to become a distraction that prevents you being able to
22:00
Speaker 1: be at your best on Sunday, Because whether we like
22:03
Speaker 1: it or not, at one o'clock they can see the
22:05
Speaker 1: ball up and they're gonna kick it. You want your
22:06
Speaker 1: team to be ready, and I think Doug is trying
22:08
Speaker 1: to put his team in the best position to be
22:09
Speaker 1: ready for the kick off. I think the other fact
22:11
Speaker 1: that it's kind of obvious and not Doug said it
22:13
Speaker 1: on the podium at it's it's also about the families.
22:17
Speaker 1: I mean, he knows, you know, if if it had
22:21
Speaker 1: been coming through here in a little bit more of
22:23
Speaker 1: a point blank sort of thing, I don't doubt that
22:27
Speaker 1: they would have moved practice somewhere for that. But given
22:31
Speaker 1: the choice, Uh, if he can have the players here
22:34
Speaker 1: in town with the families, I think to him that
22:39
Speaker 1: reduces a major distraction in it if you're in Atlanta
22:43
Speaker 1: or or wherever and you're calling home thinking about it,
22:47
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what's going on with a lot,
22:48
Speaker 1: you know whatever. So I think air on the side
22:52
Speaker 1: of being as close to the family as possible. It
22:55
Speaker 1: is Doug's thought and good friend. All right, Bucky, final thought,
22:58
Speaker 1: how you feeling about sun Jack's having a shot at
23:01
Speaker 1: this thing? Right? Oh? I absolutely love it. I love
23:04
Speaker 1: the situation. I love that. Uh, the games get bigger
23:07
Speaker 1: and bigger. Last week we talked about it being a
23:09
Speaker 1: measuring stick to kind of seeing whether Jaguars stack up
23:12
Speaker 1: in the a f C. Well, now, this is a
23:13
Speaker 1: huge opportunity because this is how you stack up league wide.
23:17
Speaker 1: We talked about the Philadelphia Eagles. People are celebrating them
23:19
Speaker 1: maybe as the best team in the NFC. If you
23:22
Speaker 1: go on the road and you play well against this team.
23:25
Speaker 1: You talked about the confidence that you have brimming after that.
23:29
Speaker 1: And also, make no mistake, you break the season up
23:32
Speaker 1: in the quarters. To be able to finish three and
23:34
Speaker 1: one in the first quarter of the season push you
23:36
Speaker 1: on track to be one of those teams that is
23:39
Speaker 1: talking about and competing for a playoff birth at the
23:41
Speaker 1: end of the year. Yeah. I mean, I said last week,
23:44
Speaker 1: if if they came out of this stretch Eagles Chargers
23:47
Speaker 1: one and one that I was in, I was saying
23:51
Speaker 1: six to seven to eight before I think now, I'm
23:55
Speaker 1: not sure I have a limit on this time. I mean,
23:58
Speaker 1: but that's said, I think this is a really, really
24:01
Speaker 1: tough matchup. I said it last week about the Charges,
24:05
Speaker 1: but I mean it this time. You can go to
24:08
Speaker 1: Philly if you're the Jags, play well and not win
24:11
Speaker 1: this game, and I don't think it changes one iota
24:14
Speaker 1: about what you think of this team, uh, in terms
24:18
Speaker 1: of their chances. Remember it's it's a it's an NFC game,
24:21
Speaker 1: so right now you're too and oh against the a
24:23
Speaker 1: f C. I think they've already achieved what they want
24:27
Speaker 1: to achieve out of the first quarter of the season.
24:29
Speaker 1: I don't call this gravy. That's not right, but it's Uh.
24:33
Speaker 1: I don't think they win because I think the Eagles
24:36
Speaker 1: are really balanced, tough, good but I think they play
24:40
Speaker 1: very well. And then after that, I'm not sure I
24:43
Speaker 1: see a game where I would would necessarily not think
24:45
Speaker 1: they're gonna win going in until Kansas City. We'll see, alright,
24:50
Speaker 1: Kansas City. I mean we need to raise the we
24:53
Speaker 1: need to raise the bar like we like, we're not
24:57
Speaker 1: playing for more victories. Like I mean, I understand what
25:00
Speaker 1: it is and they're a good team, but I mean
25:02
Speaker 1: the expectation we're going we can go in there and
25:04
Speaker 1: get a dub. I mean, you saw how they came
25:06
Speaker 1: out and beat up the charges. I believe deep down
25:08
Speaker 1: the side. They may not they won't say this publicly,
25:11
Speaker 1: but I think their game plan is what it always is.
25:13
Speaker 1: Let's see if we hit the Eagles in the mouth.
25:15
Speaker 1: Let's yeah, they respond because no one to date has
25:18
Speaker 1: hit them in the face. So let's see if the
25:20
Speaker 1: jack Wars can do it, because it'd be a huge,
25:23
Speaker 1: huge jumping point for what could be a very very
25:26
Speaker 1: special year if they're able to go and get this
25:27
Speaker 1: with That was my thoughts. I'm sure they mean, and
25:31
Speaker 1: you're talking to the defensive guys, and they deflutely think
25:34
Speaker 1: they can and I don't doubt that they will, no
25:37
Speaker 1: doubt that they can win this matchup on the road.
25:41
Speaker 1: I think it's really really tough. And you know, you know,
25:44
Speaker 1: take them to lose the last couple of weeks and
25:45
Speaker 1: they once and maybe we'll stick with that. Ocean is
25:47
Speaker 1: gonna run up the stairs of the Art Museum in
25:49
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and do the whole Rocky after they win and
25:52
Speaker 1: the whole thing. That's what he's gonna do. The Fighting
25:54
Speaker 1: City of Philadelphia is the site for a week number four,
25:58
Speaker 1: the Jaguars and the Eagles. Bucky, you have a great week.
