0:34
Speaker 1: we get ready for a trip to Arrowhead to face
0:37
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks with us every
0:40
Speaker 1: Wednesday from Los Angeles. Senior writer John Oser sits just
0:44
Speaker 1: across the desk from me here in Jacksonville, and it's
0:47
Speaker 1: the Jaguars at three and six, the Chiefs at six
0:50
Speaker 1: and two coming up this Sunday at one o'clock. Hey,
0:55
Speaker 1: welcome in, guys. Here we are another another week of
0:57
Speaker 1: Jaguars football. Bucky after a win that last week this
1:01
Speaker 1: time and a tough trip to Arrowhead. Await, yeah, big
1:05
Speaker 1: big win for the jat wars. To get that, to
1:07
Speaker 1: get off the snide five games in a row, that
1:09
Speaker 1: was tough, but to get into win. To get into win,
1:12
Speaker 1: call them gives them a little confidence, a little momentum
1:14
Speaker 1: going into a very tough environment in the area to
1:17
Speaker 1: play the Keennes City Chiefs, who also happened to be
1:19
Speaker 1: one of the top teams in the NFC. They're decent
1:22
Speaker 1: on offense, John, I'll say that well, And I told
1:26
Speaker 1: Brian Sexton this morning, Arrow haads a tough environment because
1:29
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are really good. I mean it. It always
1:33
Speaker 1: helps to get that home field advantage when a team
1:35
Speaker 1: is really good. Uh. I think it's the toughest tests
1:40
Speaker 1: they've had the Jags, certainly since Philly, but maybe maybe
1:44
Speaker 1: even tougher than Philly, because, um, the way the Chiefs play,
1:50
Speaker 1: they can get up on you, maintain intensity. Uh, the
1:55
Speaker 1: way the Homes plays, you can feel like your heads
1:58
Speaker 1: spinning a little bit defensively for even seen that before.
2:01
Speaker 1: It can get away from you in a hurry, and
2:04
Speaker 1: I'm not sure Philly really has that. So in that sense,
2:07
Speaker 1: the blitz Creek nature of of what this can become
2:12
Speaker 1: if they can withstand that early not be out of
2:15
Speaker 1: it early then you can hang with him. But that's
2:17
Speaker 1: a tough task. Let's hear from the Jaguars head coach
2:20
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson today his Wednesday press conference ahead of this
2:23
Speaker 1: week ten match up against the Kansas City Chiefs, and
2:26
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes a priority of course for the Jaguars defense
2:31
Speaker 1: just sort of add living sort of on the run
2:33
Speaker 1: out of the pocket. He's hard to sack, hard to
2:35
Speaker 1: get to. Balcom's out fast and it can come out anywhere. Um,
2:40
Speaker 1: and that's what makes them special, you know. And um,
2:43
Speaker 1: we just got to do our best to you know, uh,
2:46
Speaker 1: stay attached to to receivers and tight ends backs out
2:49
Speaker 1: of the backfield and and um, you know, the pass
2:52
Speaker 1: rush has got to be you know, it's got to
2:54
Speaker 1: be on point, you know, And and and try to
2:56
Speaker 1: put as much pressure as we can and try to
2:58
Speaker 1: keep him in the pocket. But that's that's uh, that's
3:00
Speaker 1: a challenge. That's hard to do. Good luck with that
3:03
Speaker 1: he gets out of there and throw side arm, no look, passes,
3:07
Speaker 1: all the above, and it's one of the best offensive
3:09
Speaker 1: groups in all of the NFL, of course, with Mahomes
3:12
Speaker 1: leading the way and passing yardage this year, Kansas City
3:15
Speaker 1: is the number one passing offense in the NFL. Second overall,
3:20
Speaker 1: they're good and almost every metric. They don't give the
3:22
Speaker 1: ball away too much. They score more than anybody in
3:25
Speaker 1: the league thirty point four points per game. They get
3:28
Speaker 1: it from Mahomes to the tight end. That's priority number
3:31
Speaker 1: one for the Chief's offense, and that's that's the biggest
3:34
Speaker 1: challenge I think for any defense in the NFL. Bucky, Yeah, No,
3:37
Speaker 1: they can do it a bunch of different ways. And
3:40
Speaker 1: the thing that is different about this version of the
3:42
Speaker 1: Chief's offense than previous version is they don't have Tyreek Hill,
3:45
Speaker 1: and so without trying Tyreek Hill on the field, they're
3:49
Speaker 1: not necessarily the big play juggernaut that they were in
3:53
Speaker 1: previous years. But what they do is they kind of
3:56
Speaker 1: nickel and dime you. Pat Mahomes has become an even
3:59
Speaker 1: better a distributor in terms of playing on time. But
4:02
Speaker 1: the X factor is his ability that by time his
4:06
Speaker 1: improvisational skills, and a lot of that is like he's
4:10
Speaker 1: relying on his athleticism and scrambling ability to kind of
4:13
Speaker 1: lure you to him and then he throws it over
4:15
Speaker 1: your head. And so it's a test not only for
4:18
Speaker 1: the secondary, but it's a test for the front seven
4:21
Speaker 1: because the front seven has to stay discipline in their
4:23
Speaker 1: rush lanes. They have to be on alert that when
4:26
Speaker 1: he flees the pockets, someone has to track him down,
4:29
Speaker 1: and then the secondary has to know I gotta trust
4:32
Speaker 1: those guys up front to deal with him. I have
4:34
Speaker 1: to plaster our my man. If I don't plaster my man,
4:37
Speaker 1: that's when the big place happening. So the defense is split,
4:40
Speaker 1: but everyone has to do their job to have any
4:42
Speaker 1: chance of slowing down this offense. And one of those
4:45
Speaker 1: teams to test you mentally in the sense that I
4:48
Speaker 1: ain't defensively against the Chiefs. You can be playing pretty
4:53
Speaker 1: well and playing well maybe compared to some other games
4:57
Speaker 1: you've played, and you look up they scored a couple
5:00
Speaker 1: of touchdowns and that can mess with your confidence. Obviously. Uh,
5:06
Speaker 1: you almost need a couple of breaks. Um, if you
5:10
Speaker 1: get opportunities to catch a turnover against this team, meaning
5:15
Speaker 1: if you get your hands on the ball and here
5:17
Speaker 1: and now you're on defense, you have to take advantage
5:19
Speaker 1: of them. They don't come They don't come along very often.
5:22
Speaker 1: So it's a test of focus in that sense of
5:27
Speaker 1: every play matters so much, and even if you give
5:30
Speaker 1: up a touchdown, you can't really worry about it because
5:34
Speaker 1: it's gonna come back and they're gonna keep going and
5:36
Speaker 1: going and going at you. So it's, uh, it's brutal
5:39
Speaker 1: to play these teams, especially when you have a quarterback
5:42
Speaker 1: who can escape like my homes, because again, you feel
5:46
Speaker 1: like you're doing your job. You feel like you've done it.
5:48
Speaker 1: You've beat your guy, you've covered your man, and you
5:51
Speaker 1: get the ball is still there and you scored. You
5:53
Speaker 1: can't let that get you down. They're probably gonna score
5:55
Speaker 1: twenty eight. I mean, so you've got to keep playing
6:01
Speaker 1: break servers, I like to say, and get the turnover
6:04
Speaker 1: when it hits your hands and just accept that you've
6:06
Speaker 1: got to have the brakes to beat this team. That's
6:08
Speaker 1: what it is. Buy Yeah, it is what it is.
6:11
Speaker 1: But I will say this, like, let's not necessarily paint
6:14
Speaker 1: them out to be an unbeatable squad because we saw
6:17
Speaker 1: the inn and after this Coast knocked them off earlier
6:19
Speaker 1: in the year, and the teams that have had the
6:21
Speaker 1: most success against the Chiefs have been able to keep
6:24
Speaker 1: the ball in front, make them nickeling down and then
6:26
Speaker 1: they played lights out in the red zone. The Tennessee
6:29
Speaker 1: Titans pretty much dominated that game the other night and
6:32
Speaker 1: kind of let them off the hook. They had a
6:34
Speaker 1: great defensive game plan and they were able to do
6:36
Speaker 1: it with only getting one first down after the five
6:40
Speaker 1: minute mark in the second quarter. And so there's a
6:42
Speaker 1: formula and a blueprint that's out there, but it will
6:45
Speaker 1: take a complimentary effort, meaning the offense, defense, and special
6:48
Speaker 1: teams have to be married together to make sure that
6:51
Speaker 1: the plan is working cohesively. Because if you get all
6:54
Speaker 1: three phases to play together, that is the best way
6:57
Speaker 1: for you to knock off the Chiefs. If you think
6:59
Speaker 1: the offense go win to shootout, if you think the
7:01
Speaker 1: defense is gonna hold him down, that's not going to
7:03
Speaker 1: be the best way to beat him. You gotta have
7:05
Speaker 1: everybody playing well as a unit. If you do that,
7:07
Speaker 1: do you have a chance to knock them off. I
7:09
Speaker 1: got a question for the scout slash defensive coordinator. I'm
7:13
Speaker 1: ready Bucky Brooks. Yeah, Bucky Brooks, not John osan Um.
7:18
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey been at this thing for a long time,
7:21
Speaker 1: plays at a high level. When is he at his
7:25
Speaker 1: most effective and and how do you slow him down.
7:28
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're gonna shut him out in
7:30
Speaker 1: a game in terms of catches, but how do you
7:34
Speaker 1: scheme it? How do you cover it to to minimize
7:36
Speaker 1: his impact if you can well. Number one thing, you
7:40
Speaker 1: have to know when he's the primary target. So all
7:43
Speaker 1: money downs, key situations, the ball is going to Travis Kelsey.
7:46
Speaker 1: So third down, uh, in the red zone, that's where
7:49
Speaker 1: your intendants should be up. Eighty seven is going to
7:51
Speaker 1: touch the ball. I think coming into this, if you
7:55
Speaker 1: took an old schooled approach, you have to beat him
7:57
Speaker 1: up and so he's not going to be aligned as
8:01
Speaker 1: an inline tight and much. But you have to instruct
8:04
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and Trayvon Walker and everybody to know where
8:07
Speaker 1: eighty seven is. If he's in close proximity, you need
8:10
Speaker 1: to bump him. You need to put your shoulder into him.
8:12
Speaker 1: You need to make it very very difficult and challenging
8:14
Speaker 1: for him to have free releases. And you're hoping that
8:17
Speaker 1: if you can disrupt his release, it forces Pat Mahomes
8:20
Speaker 1: to go elsewhere with the ball. The other thing that
8:22
Speaker 1: you have to do in dealing with Travis Kelsey you
8:25
Speaker 1: have to bracket them. But you have to determine who
8:27
Speaker 1: are the lesser evils that you're willing to live with
8:31
Speaker 1: making catches? Uh? Do you want to take away Travis
8:33
Speaker 1: Kelsey and Juju Smith Schuster and make m vs or
8:37
Speaker 1: Nkole Hardman or the running backs beat you? Uh? Those
8:40
Speaker 1: are the decisions that might call well into Shade Towns,
8:43
Speaker 1: and those guys have to make when it comes to
8:46
Speaker 1: building the best game plan to neutralize a very very potent, explosive,
8:50
Speaker 1: closive offense. And to me, the key here Buck is, uh,
8:55
Speaker 1: we gotta get you Brackett Kelsey. You uh pay attention
8:58
Speaker 1: to receivers. The Chief's offensive tackles are good, but I
9:04
Speaker 1: haven't been playing great. To me, Josh Allen Trayvon Walker
9:09
Speaker 1: smooth their ability to impact my homes and get him
9:14
Speaker 1: off spots. I've been saying all week. If Josh Allen
9:17
Speaker 1: can have a Josh Allen versus the Bills type game, Uh,
9:21
Speaker 1: where he's in the face and he's creating, That's the
9:26
Speaker 1: way that you negate. The skill, guys, is you somehow
9:30
Speaker 1: disrupt my homes. Get the ball in the air, get
9:33
Speaker 1: the ball flying around off a deflection, and I get
9:35
Speaker 1: picks that way, and I get them disrupted. I ain't
9:39
Speaker 1: the pass rush, which has not been great this year
9:41
Speaker 1: but has had some moments, to me, is the overriding
9:44
Speaker 1: key in this game. Yeah. I mean, ideally, in a
9:47
Speaker 1: perfect world, you would like to be able to get
9:48
Speaker 1: home with four You know, you don't want to have
9:50
Speaker 1: to bring additional blitzers uh to get the pocket kind
9:55
Speaker 1: of chaotic and UH disrupt the rhythm of the basking game.
9:59
Speaker 1: But every person that you add to the rush is
10:01
Speaker 1: one person you take out the coverage and it exposes
10:03
Speaker 1: a very vulnerable secondary. Last week, we saw the Jaguars
10:07
Speaker 1: kind of change tactics when they were dealing with the
10:09
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders. They went from more of a man
10:11
Speaker 1: heavy defensive plan to a lot of zone, a lot
10:14
Speaker 1: of match zone where they were willing to concede the
10:17
Speaker 1: short throws, but they wanted to rally and tackle. Because
10:20
Speaker 1: that was successful. Because we didn't see big plays. I
10:22
Speaker 1: would expect to see more of that. But the challenge
10:26
Speaker 1: would be the discipline, the discipline of the eyes of
10:29
Speaker 1: the defenders, the discipline of the pass for us not
10:31
Speaker 1: to rush past the quarterback, and then Patrick Mahomes escapes
10:35
Speaker 1: and buys time and he eventually finds someone to uncover
10:38
Speaker 1: for big play. Uh. This has to be a very
10:41
Speaker 1: discipline and dialed in unit. Uh to approach. If you're
10:44
Speaker 1: gonna take a bend, but don't break style because the
10:46
Speaker 1: other way we know if you bless him, he's going
10:48
Speaker 1: to get you and you're gonna pay because we've seen
10:50
Speaker 1: too many balls far over the head of the secondary.
10:53
Speaker 1: He is waiting for an opportunity to catch the Jaguars
10:55
Speaker 1: and the Blitz so he can cash in his lottery ticket.
10:59
Speaker 1: At Yeah, there it is. There's another bucky is the
11:02
Speaker 1: lottery ticket. He goes to the lottery ticket. All the
11:06
Speaker 1: was that you did you win it? It It was in Pasadena?
11:08
Speaker 1: Was that's up the road from you? It wasn't up
11:11
Speaker 1: the road? But I don't know if you remember Peco
11:13
Speaker 1: who plays for the Cincinnati Bengals. His dad owns the
11:17
Speaker 1: store where the ticket was sold. So his dad cashed
11:20
Speaker 1: in a million dollars for the two million on a
11:22
Speaker 1: lotta How about that? How about that? It's pretty good
11:25
Speaker 1: little pay day for the convenience store for sure. Hey back, yeah,
11:30
Speaker 1: two billion? Yeah he only got one million though, right? Yeah,
11:35
Speaker 1: the only only a million. I only got a million
11:40
Speaker 1: you wouldn't see me here. Yeah, he would be only
11:44
Speaker 1: everywhere else but here. It's uh, we're back at a moment.
11:48
Speaker 1: Jaguars offense last week efficient, certainly in the second half.
11:53
Speaker 1: Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence trying to build upon that performance
11:58
Speaker 1: in Week nine against the Raiders. Huddle Up with Bucky
12:00
Speaker 1: Brooks is brought to you by Fields Auto Group, Jacksonville.
12:03
Speaker 1: Step up to Luxury Fields Auto dot Com. It's Huddle
12:07
Speaker 1: Up with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network. It
12:16
Speaker 1: is great. It's good to have, you know, a guy
12:18
Speaker 1: that's making plays like that, especially you know, explosive ones.
12:23
Speaker 1: You know, credit the guys that are blocking. Obviously, Um,
12:27
Speaker 1: he's been creating those holes, but he's he's been able
12:29
Speaker 1: to you know, RiPP through from arm tackles and and extend,
12:33
Speaker 1: you know, extend to run. But yeah, you never know,
12:37
Speaker 1: you never know when that one play is gonna come
12:38
Speaker 1: where he's gonna he's gonna rip off. That's the head coach,
12:42
Speaker 1: of course. Doug Peterson discussing the play of the running
12:44
Speaker 1: back Travis et and welcome back. It's Huddle Up with
12:47
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks, JP Shatterck and John ojer He and Jacksonville,
12:50
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks out in Los Angeles. The Jaguars have the
12:53
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday at Arrowhead. It's a one
12:56
Speaker 1: o'clock kickoff time on CBS. And hey, yeah, the run
13:01
Speaker 1: games rolling right now, which is a good thing. And
13:04
Speaker 1: Travis e. T n is over a hundred yards again,
13:06
Speaker 1: five straight games with over one hundred scrimmage yards, so
13:09
Speaker 1: it's not just the run game primarily. It has been
13:12
Speaker 1: though the least a couple of weeks. He was really
13:14
Speaker 1: effective in the second half last week against the Raiders
13:17
Speaker 1: when he ran for eighty two yards on eighteen care
13:19
Speaker 1: He's in a touchdown to get things done for this offense.
13:22
Speaker 1: And then Trevor throwing off that run last week Bucky
13:26
Speaker 1: um was some of the most efficient play we've seen
13:29
Speaker 1: from the quarterback. And when you have the run game
13:31
Speaker 1: going the quarterback efficient, good things can happen. Yeah, good
13:34
Speaker 1: things are beginning to happen for this offense. And I
13:37
Speaker 1: think it's taken half the season for Doug to figure
13:40
Speaker 1: out the identity of the offense, but right there, it's
13:42
Speaker 1: very apparent Trevis Sitienne is the number one playmaker on
13:45
Speaker 1: this offense, and what you want to do is build
13:47
Speaker 1: the game plans around him. Trevor Lawrence now drops down
13:50
Speaker 1: to the complimentary roll, and so what you're doing instead
13:53
Speaker 1: of passing to set up the run, you're now running
13:56
Speaker 1: and doing some things around Trevis Citienne to set up
13:58
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. The other thing that we saw from that
14:01
Speaker 1: is using Travis Atien as a little bait to continue
14:04
Speaker 1: to utilize Trevor Lawrences athleticism in the run game. We
14:08
Speaker 1: saw him have what sixty yards sixty three yards uh
14:11
Speaker 1: the other day running getting on the edges, doing some
14:14
Speaker 1: zone read things. It is another compliment to what this
14:18
Speaker 1: offense can do. And so when you entered the season
14:21
Speaker 1: as a head coach, Doug Peterson comes and thinking, oh,
14:23
Speaker 1: this is the way that we're gonna have to play.
14:25
Speaker 1: But somewhere around the midpoint you have to say, look,
14:28
Speaker 1: I like how we thought we were going to to
14:31
Speaker 1: approach the season, but right now, here's where we are.
14:33
Speaker 1: And when you make those hard assessments, you tweet the
14:36
Speaker 1: game playing, You tweaked the play calls to make sure
14:38
Speaker 1: that your best players are giving maximum opportunities. It's not
14:41
Speaker 1: a coincidence that in the last two weeks, Travis Antien
14:44
Speaker 1: has been targeted to have plus touches. I think that
14:48
Speaker 1: train continues as he clearly established himself as the number
14:51
Speaker 1: one option in this offense. Yeah, this is intriguing stuff.
14:55
Speaker 1: I mean, in the last month, I knew Travis was good,
14:58
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't know he was is good. Uh.
15:02
Speaker 1: In the last month, all of a sudden, you're starting
15:05
Speaker 1: to see a guy develop into a a Pro Bowl
15:10
Speaker 1: level player, if you will, uh, a star on offense.
15:14
Speaker 1: I was trying to think back a Rob went to
15:16
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl and d J. Chark went to one
15:17
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. I think beyond that, I'm not sure there's
15:21
Speaker 1: been a skilled guy in the Pro Bowl since I've
15:24
Speaker 1: been backing two has an eleven. I mean, I'm not
15:26
Speaker 1: trying to make I'm not trying to criticize guys in
15:28
Speaker 1: the past. I'm just trying to think, let heard go.
15:31
Speaker 1: I don't think he went. Yeah, and with apologies to Landard,
15:38
Speaker 1: even when he was really good as a rookie for
15:40
Speaker 1: this team, he wasn't this. I mean he uh So,
15:44
Speaker 1: it's interesting to see a guy sort of develop before
15:47
Speaker 1: your eyes into one of the top I think Bucky
15:49
Speaker 1: in in in his scouts take that he does for
15:53
Speaker 1: us to top five running back. I mean, you're starting
15:57
Speaker 1: to see an offense that has an identity and the
15:59
Speaker 1: kids the identity, and it's elite stuff. And I'm just
16:05
Speaker 1: not used to it. I haven't seen it around here
16:06
Speaker 1: in a long time. But am I over exaggerating how
16:08
Speaker 1: good this he is league wide? I mean he's turning
16:13
Speaker 1: into a legitimate big time player. Now legitimate big time player.
16:17
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. When he came in as a rookie,
16:19
Speaker 1: there was that that quiet conversation about what maybe he's
16:22
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara. Maybe he could give them what Alvin Kamara
16:25
Speaker 1: has given the New Orleans Saints for years. A player
16:27
Speaker 1: who's not only productive as a runner, but it's very
16:29
Speaker 1: dynamic in the passing game. We've seen the running part
16:32
Speaker 1: of it. I would say the next step for Travis
16:35
Speaker 1: is to be a more dynamic and explosive playmaker in
16:39
Speaker 1: the passing game because if he is able to impact
16:41
Speaker 1: the game not only as a runner but as a receiver,
16:43
Speaker 1: now it changes not only the way that you defend
16:45
Speaker 1: in the box, but how you have to direct your coverage.
16:48
Speaker 1: Do you begin to bracken him and now that creates
16:50
Speaker 1: one on one opportunities for z Jones and Marvin Jones
16:53
Speaker 1: uh and Christian Kirk Uh. Do you have to load
16:56
Speaker 1: the box and do some of those things. It just
16:58
Speaker 1: makes it a lot easier and simpler for Trevor Lawrence
17:03
Speaker 1: to be able to operate. When you have a guy
17:05
Speaker 1: cooking like Travis Atien is cooking, Oh man, it's a
17:09
Speaker 1: different offense and you're seeing the ability to score points
17:12
Speaker 1: because Travis Antien is really coming into his own as
17:14
Speaker 1: a playmaker. Yeah, Leonard Fort did not go to the
17:17
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl that year. That was obviously all defense for
17:20
Speaker 1: the Jaguars that you're in the Pro Bowl. But it
17:22
Speaker 1: was Levyan Belle, Lashawn McCoy, Kareem Hunt for the Pro
17:25
Speaker 1: Bowl running back six a FC that was off just
17:28
Speaker 1: to confirm that. Yeah. Yeah, I mean now people line
17:33
Speaker 1: show here probably tired to hear me talk about it.
17:36
Speaker 1: It's the toughness and the vision. I mean, I knew
17:39
Speaker 1: he was fast, but Bucky, what strikes me about Travis
17:45
Speaker 1: right now, it's really not even his speed that's making
17:49
Speaker 1: him special right now. It's it's the vision. It's the cutback.
17:54
Speaker 1: I think he'd be a big time runner even if
17:56
Speaker 1: he wasn't blazing speed guy. Yeah, No, it's it's really
18:01
Speaker 1: funny because I do wonder like how fast he is,
18:03
Speaker 1: like very fied times, Like I don't feel like he's
18:07
Speaker 1: a four three guy on the field. I feel like
18:10
Speaker 1: he's a four or four guy who has wiggle and
18:12
Speaker 1: stop star quickness and he's able to kind of get
18:14
Speaker 1: through cracks. That's been the best part of I think
18:17
Speaker 1: the thing that is surprised everybody is the toughness and
18:20
Speaker 1: the lower body power, his ability to run through arm tackles,
18:24
Speaker 1: his ability to display what we call contact balance, meaning
18:27
Speaker 1: he's taking those glancing blows but not going down at
18:31
Speaker 1: first contact, not being knocked off his pins. Uh as
18:34
Speaker 1: soon as someone gets close to him. To me, that
18:37
Speaker 1: is rare. That's a special ability. And we talked about it.
18:40
Speaker 1: I can't remember. It was a scoreboard show where we
18:42
Speaker 1: talked about the mount Rushmore of running backs in Jaguars
18:45
Speaker 1: franchise history, and we talked about Fred tay The and
18:48
Speaker 1: m J D. And you already can begin to envision
18:51
Speaker 1: Travis at End being one of those guys. And we've
18:54
Speaker 1: seen it. When the Jaguars have had five star running backs,
18:58
Speaker 1: they have had a chance to be really really good
19:00
Speaker 1: on offense. It's a different style that the offense is
19:03
Speaker 1: operating under. But right now, Travis Ancienna is a five
19:06
Speaker 1: star running back and that gives this offense an opportunity
19:09
Speaker 1: to put up points because you can build around his
19:11
Speaker 1: skill set to help the compliments get loose and JP.
19:14
Speaker 1: You just can't get knocked off your pens. If you're
19:16
Speaker 1: gonna be a running back in this lague, it's advisable
19:19
Speaker 1: to stay on your pens, stay on there. That is
19:23
Speaker 1: what I learned expert. But it seems seems right. Hey,
19:28
Speaker 1: the Kansas City defense, there's how they rank and nine
19:32
Speaker 1: weeks of football so far, it's why don't you throw? Overall?
19:35
Speaker 1: Defense pretty good against the run. Teams have to throw
19:38
Speaker 1: to keep up with their offense. So the teams are
19:40
Speaker 1: throwing on them a little bit. They're down upper third,
19:44
Speaker 1: they have some issues in the red zone, goal to
19:46
Speaker 1: go and there you have it. You know, how does
19:50
Speaker 1: this match up work for the Jaguars? Can they can
19:54
Speaker 1: they make some hey against this defensive group? And how
19:57
Speaker 1: do you do that? Who do you have to really
19:59
Speaker 1: look out for on the defensive side of the ball
20:00
Speaker 1: for Kansas City, Buckey Kensie has some really good football players. Uh,
20:04
Speaker 1: there's some good players are from christ Jones is uh
20:07
Speaker 1: one of the guys that you have stopped to worry
20:09
Speaker 1: about defensive tackle size, strength, power, great pass for skills.
20:14
Speaker 1: He and Frank Clark are nice inside outside tandem for
20:17
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. But when you're dealing with the Chiefs, you're
20:20
Speaker 1: dealing with Steve Spagnelo. And if you're dealing with Steve Spagnelo,
20:23
Speaker 1: there's a lot of crazy, exotic blitz is coming from
20:26
Speaker 1: any and everywhere in any instance and circumstance. So this
20:30
Speaker 1: game will be a lot of blisses to try and
20:32
Speaker 1: take away Trevis c Tienne while also creating chaos for
20:36
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. That's it. It is a feast or famine defense.
20:42
Speaker 1: When they're on, yeah, man, they're knocking a quarterback around
20:44
Speaker 1: and creating turnovers. But when they're not, they surrender and
20:47
Speaker 1: give up big plays. Uh. You saw on Sunday night
20:50
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans had success running at them with a
20:54
Speaker 1: backup quarterback that they did not want to allow a throw.
20:57
Speaker 1: And so there are some cracks in this defense. It's
21:00
Speaker 1: up to the Jaguars ifigure out if taken exploit there.
21:02
Speaker 1: We'll come back in a moment. The health of the
21:05
Speaker 1: Jaguars is in pretty good shape so far. We'll get
21:08
Speaker 1: to that coming up. And we're about halfway home. It's
21:11
Speaker 1: huddle up with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network.
21:21
Speaker 1: He's coached me, and I've worked with him and worked
21:24
Speaker 1: for him and everything, and you know, just the players
21:29
Speaker 1: love him. He's hard, he's a disciplinarian. He he demands
21:33
Speaker 1: a lot, you know, all the things that that I
21:35
Speaker 1: strive to do, you know, in my in my job
21:37
Speaker 1: and UM and then just with the offense, you know,
21:40
Speaker 1: he is creative. UM does a great job of putting
21:43
Speaker 1: his his guys in in positions to make plays. And
21:47
Speaker 1: and you know, you just see it over the years,
21:49
Speaker 1: the teams that they've UM put out there have all
21:52
Speaker 1: all been great football teams, you know, and and same
21:55
Speaker 1: same thing in Philly. You know, it started out slow,
21:58
Speaker 1: ut I was there as a player, but but quickly
22:03
Speaker 1: quickly escalated with with you know, better talent around and
22:07
Speaker 1: a better quarterback at the time, and uh, you know
22:11
Speaker 1: they were they were competing for you know, NFC title
22:14
Speaker 1: games just like they are you know now, at Kansas.
22:17
Speaker 1: That's the head coach. Doug Peterson of course, on Andy Reid,
22:21
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, welcome back
22:23
Speaker 1: and huddle up with Bucky Brooks, J P. Shadrick and
22:27
Speaker 1: John Osier alongside. Yeah, I have a question for historian,
22:32
Speaker 1: if you will, um how much has he shaped the game?
22:37
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, Bucky and And what I mean by that
22:40
Speaker 1: is over the last twenty years, him and Belichick are
22:43
Speaker 1: really the most successful coaches. And Andy's offense, his ability
22:48
Speaker 1: to adapt to his personnel. I mean, I know he's
22:51
Speaker 1: taking the West Coast offense and he's made it something else.
22:56
Speaker 1: But how much of this game is is shaped by
22:59
Speaker 1: his philosophy right now? Because it seems to me there
23:02
Speaker 1: may be an underrated UH part of him. I think
23:06
Speaker 1: it's really underrated. And I would say this Doug Peterson
23:08
Speaker 1: I played together in Green Bay. Andy Reid at the
23:11
Speaker 1: time was a tight ends coach and as a defender,
23:14
Speaker 1: he was the Scout team UH coach, so he was
23:16
Speaker 1: responsible for holding up the cards, making sure the Scout
23:18
Speaker 1: team defense provided the offense with the great look. So
23:22
Speaker 1: the Code X squad he was in charge of that.
23:24
Speaker 1: Never in my wildest dreams could. I think Andy Reid
23:28
Speaker 1: evolved to being the offensive wizard that he has been,
23:32
Speaker 1: but by his on accounts he played at b y
23:34
Speaker 1: U under the Ward has always had a fascination with
23:37
Speaker 1: the passing game, and I think the thing that he's
23:39
Speaker 1: been able to do is take all the lessons that
23:41
Speaker 1: he learned from coach Holmgren when it comes to the
23:43
Speaker 1: pure West Coast offense, the stuff that he learned from
23:45
Speaker 1: Lavelle Edwards, who they told me he only had four
23:49
Speaker 1: running plays in his playbook when he by U was rolling,
23:53
Speaker 1: which is kind of impossible to even think that that's
23:56
Speaker 1: how few running players they had. And then to really
24:00
Speaker 1: adapt and adjust because normally you don't see older coaches
24:03
Speaker 1: who get excited about the creativity that might be displayed
24:07
Speaker 1: in the lower ranks. Andy Reid is not afraid to
24:10
Speaker 1: take high school plays, college plays and put them in
24:12
Speaker 1: the playbook to help his guys be in a position
24:15
Speaker 1: to make plays. It's one of the reasons why this
24:18
Speaker 1: offense is fun. But he's been able to kind of
24:21
Speaker 1: told align with that creativity while still using the West
24:24
Speaker 1: Coast offense as a base. It has really been a
24:28
Speaker 1: masterful job that he's done as a play designer to
24:32
Speaker 1: take this offense, this scheme to the next level. Yeah,
24:36
Speaker 1: I mean it's being fans here in that the first
24:42
Speaker 1: reaction the cynic might be, well, it's easy to with
24:44
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, but you're seeing the elite version of Andy
24:49
Speaker 1: Reid's offense with Patrick Mahomes. But it's been effective in
24:52
Speaker 1: dynamic for a long time. Don Donovan mcname is really good,
24:55
Speaker 1: but he wasn't Patrick Homes. Alex Smith is really good,
24:58
Speaker 1: but he was in Patrick Mahomes. So this is two
25:02
Speaker 1: decades of a consistent productivity. I'll bet he's been a
25:07
Speaker 1: top ten offense, you know, fifteen sixteen years of that,
25:10
Speaker 1: you know. So it's again, it's remarkable. I think he's
25:14
Speaker 1: uh has reshaped the game, and I've been able to
25:17
Speaker 1: take it in a direction I'm not sure people saw
25:19
Speaker 1: it fifteen years ago. Now, John let me let me
25:22
Speaker 1: jump in and say this, because people talk about him
25:24
Speaker 1: as the quarterback whisper in the last few quarterbacks that
25:27
Speaker 1: he's had, like Alex Smith was a number overall pick,
25:30
Speaker 1: and then he saw something in Pat Mahomes that a
25:32
Speaker 1: lot of people didn't see when they took Pat Mahomes
25:35
Speaker 1: in the draft. There were a lot of people that
25:36
Speaker 1: had second round grades on Pat Mahomes because he was
25:39
Speaker 1: a sandlite player of Texas Tech who had remarkable skills,
25:43
Speaker 1: but you had never seen anyone who played the game
25:45
Speaker 1: in that fashion translate into a successful NFL quarterback. But
25:49
Speaker 1: it goes beyond that. Let's think about in Philadelphia who
25:51
Speaker 1: he had uh Coy Deptmer Uh. He had Kevin Cobb
25:55
Speaker 1: playing at a level where people were enticon intrigued by
25:58
Speaker 1: him and made a trade to at him. He took
26:01
Speaker 1: Michael Vick and made Michael a very very confident pastor
26:04
Speaker 1: after he was away for the game for two plus years.
26:07
Speaker 1: And so being a quarterback gurgle and a developer, he
26:10
Speaker 1: has the ability to not only work with the quarterback position,
26:14
Speaker 1: but he's able to take pieces. Because let's talk about
26:18
Speaker 1: the wide receivers that he had for the long time.
26:20
Speaker 1: He didn't get a marquee receiver in Philadelphia ntil they
26:23
Speaker 1: got uh Tarrell Lewins. And then if you think about
26:26
Speaker 1: because everyone goes crazy about Tyrikio, but Tyrikill was a
26:29
Speaker 1: fifth round pick who was entering the league as a
26:32
Speaker 1: kick returner that they developed into a pass uh catcher,
26:36
Speaker 1: and so it is a lot about the development and
26:39
Speaker 1: the schemmantics. When it comes to Andy Reid, he'll go
26:42
Speaker 1: down as one of the best coaches in NFL history
26:45
Speaker 1: because of his ability to scheme it up but also
26:47
Speaker 1: developed players. You know, I was just going through, um,
26:52
Speaker 1: you know, the b YU thing. Jim McMahon was the
26:55
Speaker 1: quarterback at b y U and Andy Reid was a
26:57
Speaker 1: tackle there. They were twelve and one his senior year nine.
27:00
Speaker 1: About that throwing the ball over the yard, You're right, why, yeah,
27:05
Speaker 1: throwing it all over the yard. That's why he doesn't
27:07
Speaker 1: like to run the ball now Like he's not a
27:09
Speaker 1: fan of running the football. He wants to throw it
27:11
Speaker 1: all over the yard. He loves the creativity. He got
27:13
Speaker 1: a look a master's class and throwing the ball with Lavelle.
27:17
Speaker 1: That was in the joining Mike Holmgman and really learning
27:21
Speaker 1: how to coach multiple positions because he went from you know,
27:24
Speaker 1: being an offensive linement to coaching tight ends to then
27:26
Speaker 1: coaching the quarterback position with Brett Ford and his ability
27:31
Speaker 1: to kind of reiin in bread for and develop Bret
27:33
Speaker 1: Far gave him a blueprint for how to handle Pat
27:37
Speaker 1: Mahomes when Pat Mahomes came into league. As it relates
27:40
Speaker 1: to Doug Peterson, Doug Peterson being there for a lot
27:43
Speaker 1: of that stuff in Philadelphia and then in Kansas City,
27:46
Speaker 1: he also has seen that a system can elevate the
27:50
Speaker 1: perimeter pass catchers if the quarterback is good enough. And
27:54
Speaker 1: so we're waiting to see how that system can help
27:58
Speaker 1: take Trevor Lawrence to the next level, but also take
28:02
Speaker 1: a bunch of playmakers on the outside and put them
28:04
Speaker 1: at the next level because the system creates opportunities for
28:06
Speaker 1: those guys to score and make big place And Doug
28:09
Speaker 1: said something interesting sort of along those lines today in
28:12
Speaker 1: the press, and I guess I'm speaking to everybody who
28:14
Speaker 1: keeps on saying they need to run more, they need
28:16
Speaker 1: to do this, they need to uh, he needs to
28:19
Speaker 1: change what he's doing offensively. My first thought is, after
28:23
Speaker 1: after a decade of watching this offense around here, Doug
28:27
Speaker 1: Peterson in nine games has this offense eighth in the league.
28:30
Speaker 1: They got four yards last week, and and it didn't
28:33
Speaker 1: feel like a great offensive day. If you follow me,
28:36
Speaker 1: it was good. I'm not saying they didn't produce, but
28:38
Speaker 1: it didn't feel unusual at all for them to get
28:40
Speaker 1: four hundred yards. Uh And then Doug in the press
28:43
Speaker 1: today said, look, the teams that win right now, the
28:46
Speaker 1: teams that go deep in the playoffs, are throwing to
28:50
Speaker 1: score and running to win. They're playing this brand of football.
28:54
Speaker 1: And I think that spoke a little bit. He wasn't
28:56
Speaker 1: trying to make this point, but if you read, you
28:58
Speaker 1: should read between the lines. That's what he's doing right now, Bucky.
29:02
Speaker 1: He wants to win now, but he also wants to
29:06
Speaker 1: teach this team, teach Trevor, implement how he's going to
29:10
Speaker 1: play and what he believes they need to be to
29:15
Speaker 1: eventually achieve where they want to go. Yeah. So it's
29:18
Speaker 1: funny you talked about the running game and these things,
29:21
Speaker 1: and I've loosely made reference to Travis Etienne and what
29:24
Speaker 1: I'm seeing from this offense. I want everyone to understand
29:27
Speaker 1: that Doug Peterson was the offensive coordinator for the Kanna
29:30
Speaker 1: City Chiefs when Jamal Charles was doing it up in
29:33
Speaker 1: the National Football League, meaning Jamal Charles was, I mean
29:36
Speaker 1: just telling them big numbers as a scrimmage producer, not
29:40
Speaker 1: only as a runner, but as a uh why receiver,
29:42
Speaker 1: a pass catcher out the backfield. And Travisy Tien. Doug
29:46
Speaker 1: Peterson can envision transforming this offense to the version that
29:50
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs had when Jamal Charles was one
29:52
Speaker 1: of the best running backs in football. And so even
29:55
Speaker 1: though it's not three yards in a cloud of dust
29:58
Speaker 1: or a ground and round premise the we've seen in Jacksonville,
30:01
Speaker 1: the running back is very essential to what he wants
30:03
Speaker 1: to do, particularly now that Travis Etienne has emerged as
30:06
Speaker 1: a top talent. So this offense can be fun and
30:09
Speaker 1: dynamic but still have the necessary component of the running
30:13
Speaker 1: back being a runner and Italian up one hundred yard
30:16
Speaker 1: rush games without it being the old slug fest that
30:19
Speaker 1: we've seen for so many years down in Jacksonville. Let's
30:22
Speaker 1: come back in a moment. We'll take a look at
30:24
Speaker 1: the injury reports. Just put out a little bit of
30:27
Speaker 1: go by the team. Couple of players on the list
30:30
Speaker 1: this week. Remember to subscribe to the Official Jaguars Podcast Network.
30:33
Speaker 1: It's on I Heart Radio, iTunes, Spotify, or wherever you
30:37
Speaker 1: get your pods. Give us those five stars and plenty
30:41
Speaker 1: of comments. It's Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks on the
30:44
Speaker 1: Jaguars Digital Network. Welcome back. It's huddle Up with Bucky Brooks,
30:50
Speaker 1: presented by the Fields Auto Group, and a live look
30:52
Speaker 1: at the Miller Electric Center under construction right outside t
30:55
Speaker 1: i A a bank field in the parking lot. What
30:59
Speaker 1: was the old practice fields will soon be two new
31:02
Speaker 1: outdoor practice fields and one inside and a brand new
31:05
Speaker 1: facility for the Jacksonville Jaguars with the stadium stands to
31:09
Speaker 1: go along with it. It should be open for business
31:11
Speaker 1: by training camp in three. It's moving along rather nice.
31:15
Speaker 1: The fair is closed, by the way the next day
31:18
Speaker 1: or so, a couple of days, I think because of
31:19
Speaker 1: the storm coming through. It's in the parking lot right now. John,
31:23
Speaker 1: I know you've gone over and gotten the funnel cakes
31:25
Speaker 1: and the fried butter and the Polish sausages and everything
31:29
Speaker 1: you always get when the fair comes to down. I'm disappointing,
31:32
Speaker 1: he said, I was going today and they day. We'll
31:36
Speaker 1: see here we did. Yeah, there's one year we did
31:40
Speaker 1: some video over here right where you were. You were
31:42
Speaker 1: alone on the big afriga what it's called swing things,
31:46
Speaker 1: alone with headphones on. The guy from something about Mary's
31:51
Speaker 1: literally we took a camera over there and followed John around.
31:55
Speaker 1: He was literally the only one at the fair and
31:57
Speaker 1: there was nobody else there, and it was like it
32:00
Speaker 1: was so so and I'm there, nobody else wants to
32:02
Speaker 1: be there. It was something that was a long time ago. Hey, um,
32:05
Speaker 1: a couple of players on the injury report today. The
32:07
Speaker 1: team put that out just a few minutes ago. Ra
32:10
Speaker 1: Sean Jenkins, still in the concussion protocol, did not practice
32:13
Speaker 1: officially today. Evan Ingram with a back issue limited today.
32:18
Speaker 1: He did speak in the locker room today though. We've
32:20
Speaker 1: chatted with Evan for a little bit. Yeah, Evan even
32:23
Speaker 1: talking to him after Sunday's game. He I don't think
32:26
Speaker 1: he's ever doubted or has no doubt he's he's gonna play.
32:29
Speaker 1: He's not very worried about it. So that's good new
32:31
Speaker 1: we don't know about ra Sean. Concussion protocol is always
32:36
Speaker 1: who's next up? Andrew wingered I gotta be doing. He
32:39
Speaker 1: came out with his hair on fire, if you will,
32:41
Speaker 1: last week Bucky and and made some plays and moments
32:45
Speaker 1: in that game. He did come out with his hand
32:47
Speaker 1: fire look play played really well when he jumped in.
32:50
Speaker 1: I think overall the second day played pretty well. Uh
32:53
Speaker 1: when they had an opportunity once they got settled in
32:56
Speaker 1: to playing a little more its own, and we'll need
32:58
Speaker 1: to see more of that as this team goes for it,
33:01
Speaker 1: because as they played more zone, they can reduce the
33:03
Speaker 1: big plays that they were allowing and they can stay
33:05
Speaker 1: in games. And so it doesn't always have to look
33:08
Speaker 1: pretty when you're doing the ben but don't break approach,
33:10
Speaker 1: but it certainly can be effective. It was effected the
33:12
Speaker 1: other night. Butay, we haven't talked about Trevor Lawrence today,
33:15
Speaker 1: so I want to ask you, um, you know, maybe
33:18
Speaker 1: I was over exaggerating it. Uh. I came out of
33:22
Speaker 1: Sunday's game. I think it was the best I had
33:25
Speaker 1: seen him play, and and maybe I was just with
33:28
Speaker 1: all the criticism he went through last week and then
33:32
Speaker 1: not starting off that well for him to respond with
33:35
Speaker 1: four series. I thought he ran when he uh at
33:39
Speaker 1: the right time. I thought he was poised. I thought
33:41
Speaker 1: he made some big throws to keep them on the field,
33:46
Speaker 1: when if he hadn't completed some of the third down passes,
33:49
Speaker 1: they're off the field and the Raiders have momentum back.
33:51
Speaker 1: I thought it was the best game he's he has
33:54
Speaker 1: played because of of how tough he seemed mentally, and
33:59
Speaker 1: I over acting to that, and I what was your assessment? No,
34:02
Speaker 1: I agree with your assessment. I think it was one
34:04
Speaker 1: of the best games that he played. And even though
34:06
Speaker 1: I would say he was in a managerial role based
34:09
Speaker 1: on the way that they kind of put the game
34:10
Speaker 1: playing together, I thought it was the best thing for him.
34:13
Speaker 1: I think the big thing that was the improvement was
34:16
Speaker 1: he had a bunch of uh open shots, where in
34:20
Speaker 1: previous weeks he had missed Christian Kurk coming open on
34:23
Speaker 1: the third down run of speed out. Sometimes we've seen
34:25
Speaker 1: him the dirt the ball or sell it. He was
34:27
Speaker 1: on the money in critical moments. And if that Trevor
34:31
Speaker 1: Lawrence shows up, if that version shows up this one,
34:34
Speaker 1: that's when this offense has an opportunity to really go
34:36
Speaker 1: to the next level. We over here singing the praises
34:39
Speaker 1: of an offense that ranks eighth overall in total offense.
34:43
Speaker 1: Imagine if you even get more consistency from the quarterback
34:46
Speaker 1: despite all the comments and all the speculation about him
34:50
Speaker 1: being a bust and all those other stuff, to get
34:52
Speaker 1: his playing pretty well, then when he's on his game
34:54
Speaker 1: and this offense is really really difficult to defend, what's
34:57
Speaker 1: the difference for him, Bucky. Uh, when he has the
35:00
Speaker 1: seventy percent and up game completion, He's got four of them,
35:04
Speaker 1: and it's their highest you know, in the four games
35:07
Speaker 1: where he's had that, it's their four highest scoring games
35:10
Speaker 1: this season. Are they putting him in situations to do that?
35:14
Speaker 1: Is he playing better? Uh? I just break that down
35:18
Speaker 1: for me if you can't. I think some of the
35:20
Speaker 1: defenses that he's going against, the defenses that have been
35:23
Speaker 1: pretty static, uh, pretty simple when it comes to deciphering
35:27
Speaker 1: what is going on at the line of scrimmage. He's
35:28
Speaker 1: had a lot of success against those teams, with the
35:31
Speaker 1: exception of maybe the Houston Texas. I don't know why
35:33
Speaker 1: it was such a struggle for him dealing with their
35:34
Speaker 1: Tampa two. But he has been really good when he's
35:37
Speaker 1: being able to be an attack mode. I also think
35:39
Speaker 1: that the game plans that Doug Peterson gave him in
35:41
Speaker 1: those games, they really really work. Because the ball was
35:44
Speaker 1: out of his hands. It was a lot of quick
35:46
Speaker 1: rhythm throws, uh, not a lot of high risk stuff.
35:49
Speaker 1: And I think there's a coincidence. I mean, I think
35:52
Speaker 1: there's a correlation to Trevor Lawrence running early in the game.
35:56
Speaker 1: I think it kind of allows him to settle in
35:58
Speaker 1: and I think as we see parts of what I
36:02
Speaker 1: call the Clemson concept, uh kind of seepest weight into
36:06
Speaker 1: the game plan, I think he's very very comfortable in that.
36:08
Speaker 1: I also think Travis n cenna is comfortable when they
36:10
Speaker 1: do some of the things that are very familiar to
36:12
Speaker 1: them in terms of what they were able to do
36:15
Speaker 1: when they were at Clemson. Well, if you listen to
36:17
Speaker 1: his mic tub segment, I mean he likes getting hit.
36:19
Speaker 1: He says he plays better when he gets hit. That's
36:22
Speaker 1: what he told what number fifty two for the Raiders. Yeah,
36:26
Speaker 1: but I think there's something to that. And I think
36:28
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of us cringe and and squirm
36:32
Speaker 1: and all that when the quarterback is running. But we
36:33
Speaker 1: have to remember, as you put it before, Bucky, clutching
36:37
Speaker 1: your pearls about the quarterback. I mean, we're clutching our
36:39
Speaker 1: pearls at the quarterback. But we have to remember a
36:42
Speaker 1: lot of these guys because it's a new time at quarterback.
36:45
Speaker 1: They have been running zone readsign quarterback runs r p
36:49
Speaker 1: O since they were in seven and eighth grade. It's
36:51
Speaker 1: a huge part of who they are as quarterbacks. And
36:55
Speaker 1: now just recently, the National Football League is catching up
36:58
Speaker 1: and they're saying, I know it is the quarterback, and
37:00
Speaker 1: I know how much money they command, but the only
37:03
Speaker 1: way for us to maximize what they are is to
37:06
Speaker 1: make sure we put them in their comfort zone and travel.
37:08
Speaker 1: Lawrence is very, very comfortable running the ball and getting
37:10
Speaker 1: on the perimeter. And maybe, but what I wasn't paying
37:13
Speaker 1: them fifteen million dollars a year and they weren't getting
37:16
Speaker 1: hit by two pound guys when they were in high school.
37:20
Speaker 1: You can't worry. You can't worry about you can't worry
37:21
Speaker 1: about what what what what you're paying them. You gotta
37:24
Speaker 1: worry about how they play. So you gotta put them
37:26
Speaker 1: in a position to do it. Because I hate I
37:28
Speaker 1: hate this for you, John, but we're undergoing a revolution
37:31
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. The game is changing. And many
37:35
Speaker 1: years watching paid Manning and number eighteen sitting there stiff,
37:39
Speaker 1: not able to move, but dicing people apart, they're not
37:42
Speaker 1: many guys that played like that anymore. Tom Brady is
37:46
Speaker 1: half a hundred. You got Aaron Rodgers fading into the twilight.
37:49
Speaker 1: There aren't many new young quarterbacks that are dealing primarily
37:53
Speaker 1: from the pocket without having athleticism, and so coaches are
37:56
Speaker 1: being tasked with trying to figure out ways to make
37:59
Speaker 1: these guys comfortable. And for treble Lawds, he needs to
38:02
Speaker 1: get knocked around a little bit to be comfortable. So
38:04
Speaker 1: you gott let him run around and get knocked around.
38:06
Speaker 1: Get off my lawn. Yeah, John's not buying. I don't think, John,
38:11
Speaker 1: how you feeling about this game? Oh? I mean my
38:16
Speaker 1: gut feeling last week was they were gonna win. I
38:18
Speaker 1: don't know why I'm using the minority on that. I
38:21
Speaker 1: just thought they were going to come through. I think
38:25
Speaker 1: they'll play well. I just it's a tall task against
38:30
Speaker 1: the Chiefs team that I guess if this was in September,
38:34
Speaker 1: I think they have a better shot. The Chiefs are
38:38
Speaker 1: a veteran team that knows now they need to keep
38:42
Speaker 1: winning to maintain pace. The Chargers are right on their tail.
38:45
Speaker 1: They're thinking home field. I don't think they're gonna let up.
38:50
Speaker 1: I don't think Jaguars will play poorly, But I don't
38:53
Speaker 1: think you can uh judge your thought on the Jaguars
38:57
Speaker 1: based on how they fare in this game. I think
38:59
Speaker 1: they'll a well. I think it'll be you know, Chiefs
39:04
Speaker 1: because I just think the Chiefs are an elite team.
39:09
Speaker 1: They knows how to play. They're playing at home. It's
39:11
Speaker 1: the toughest task maybe outside Philly they've had this season.
39:14
Speaker 1: How about you, Bucky, how are you feeling? Uh? You know,
39:17
Speaker 1: I feel okay about it. I think the big thing is, Uh,
39:21
Speaker 1: this team is not as explosive due to their personnel,
39:24
Speaker 1: the explosive due to the quarterback. I think the Jaguars
39:27
Speaker 1: can match up on the perimeter, with the exception of
39:29
Speaker 1: maybe having to use double teams on Travis Kelsey, but
39:32
Speaker 1: everybody else, I think they're They're fine with their one
39:34
Speaker 1: on ones. I think it ultimately comes down to the
39:37
Speaker 1: offense being efficient in the offense playing ball control. If
39:42
Speaker 1: this team can move the ball but have ten twelve
39:44
Speaker 1: played drives where they're throwing it and running it and
39:47
Speaker 1: shrinking the game, they absolutely can go on the road
39:49
Speaker 1: and win. But it's gonna require them to play one
39:52
Speaker 1: of their better games where they don't turn the ball over,
39:54
Speaker 1: they don't give away possessions due to self inflicting mistakes,
39:58
Speaker 1: and they cash in in the red zone. Goes. The
40:00
Speaker 1: Chief's defense is vulnerable, but you gotta make them pay
40:03
Speaker 1: when they dial it up and bliss, you gotta you
40:04
Speaker 1: gotta hear some of these big plays down the field. Yeah,
40:08
Speaker 1: if they they have their best red zone game of
40:10
Speaker 1: the season, um yeo, they can win it. That. Their
40:16
Speaker 1: m O over the last six weeks has been a
40:19
Speaker 1: critical mistake down in there. They overcame it last week
40:22
Speaker 1: when the red zone turn over they made the mistake.
40:26
Speaker 1: It just feels to me like a game where you
40:28
Speaker 1: can't You always watch games like this and a team
40:33
Speaker 1: has an opportunity and they give it away and you think, oh,
40:35
Speaker 1: that's gonna that's gonna bite them. I think if you
40:38
Speaker 1: have one of those moments, I'm not sure that jag
40:41
Speaker 1: Wars can overcome big mistakes that way. If they convert
40:45
Speaker 1: in the red zone and get a turnover when they
40:46
Speaker 1: touch the ball on defense, then they can do it.
40:49
Speaker 1: They haven't been able to really maximize every moment in
40:53
Speaker 1: a game yet like that. Alright, one o'clock kickoff time
40:55
Speaker 1: this Sunday at Arrowhead in Kansas City. Chiefs at six
41:01
Speaker 1: and two. If it ended today, they'd beat the number
41:04
Speaker 1: one seed in the a f C. The Jaguars are
41:07
Speaker 1: three and six. They snapped a five games Kid last week.
41:10
