- 0:20Speaker 1: starts right now.
- 0:21Speaker 2: It is Wednesday, Week one. It's Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks.
- 0:25Speaker 2: We've got a busy show ahead as the Jaguars prepared
- 0:28Speaker 2: to face the Miami Dolphins down at hard Rock Stadium.
- 0:32Speaker 2: Will preview the matchup of course coming up, and yes,
- 0:34Speaker 2: the quarterback matchup Trevor Lawrence into a tongue of Iloa.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Both got off season contract extensions and this will be
- 0:42Speaker 2: quite a debut this season for both and a debut
- 0:45Speaker 2: for the Jaguars defense as well against a track team
- 0:49Speaker 2: in the Miami Dolphins. Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks brought

- 1:00Speaker 3: J P.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Shadwick with John O's or Jaguars dot Com senior writer.
- 1:03Speaker 2: We're at the Hundai Studios the Miller Electric Center. Bucky
- 1:06Speaker 2: Brooks joining us from Los Angeles, California, and Happy week one.
- 1:12Speaker 2: We're back Buck.
- 1:14Speaker 4: Yeah, man really excited about it, Scay, to see what
- 1:16Speaker 4: the Jaguars able to do. Tough opponent coming out the gate.
- 1:19Speaker 4: You talked about the track team and the Miami Dolphins,
- 1:21Speaker 4: but look, you'd like to get tested right out the
- 1:25Speaker 4: gate to kind of see where you are.
- 1:26Speaker 3: So this should be fun for us.
- 1:28Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a test. I mean, I think it's a
- 1:30Speaker 5: huge matchup for the defense. It's a huge matchup for
- 1:34Speaker 5: a first year coordinator in this scheme to see how
- 1:38Speaker 5: things adapt if the Dolphins make plays against them, which
- 1:42Speaker 5: this team usually does. So a big test for a
- 1:47Speaker 5: new defense right out of the box.
- 1:50Speaker 2: Well, Doug Peterson met the media today, as he does
- 1:53Speaker 2: each and every Wednesday going into a game week Week one.
- 1:57Speaker 2: The big topic outside of the building play calling. Who's
- 2:01Speaker 2: doing it on offense? Well, Doug Peterson didn't give an
- 2:04Speaker 2: answer again today, but was asked about the gamesmanship maybe
- 2:08Speaker 2: behind the decision.
- 2:10Speaker 6: I think if you're just looking at the offense, I
- 2:12Speaker 6: mean and studying, studying that, I mean, the coordinators are
- 2:17Speaker 6: looking at personnel, They're looking at you know, formations, motions, shifts,
- 2:21Speaker 6: just like just like we do offensively, And I don't
- 2:27Speaker 6: think it's really any not a whole lot of difference.
- 2:31Speaker 6: I think, you know, pressing, I think alike, you know
- 2:34Speaker 6: a lot of a lot of times, and you know,
- 2:36Speaker 6: converse a lot of a lot of times during games,
- 2:41Speaker 6: and I just think that if you're looking at us,
- 2:44Speaker 6: there's probably not a lot of a lot of differences.
- 2:47Speaker 2: So there's the latest answer that is not an answer.
- 2:50Speaker 2: And he said you might never know last week.
- 2:52Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the gamesmanship is more with Doug and
- 2:55Speaker 5: the media than it is with anything with the other team.
- 3:00Speaker 5: He can probably speak of this better. I don't think
- 3:01Speaker 5: the other team is going to be able to game
- 3:06Speaker 5: plan based on whether they know that press or Doug
- 3:09Speaker 5: is calling places. I think a little bit of it
- 3:11Speaker 5: is Doug knowing that the media wants to know so bad.
- 3:14Speaker 5: And when he said the other day you may never know,
- 3:17Speaker 5: I kind of wonder if he'll ever say it this year.
- 3:19Speaker 5: I think he may just kind of go on and say, well,
- 3:20Speaker 5: you figure it out if it's so important to you,
- 3:22Speaker 5: And you know, I kind of like the cheekiness. I
- 3:27Speaker 5: think it's kind of funny because I don't care.
- 3:31Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know if it, I don't know it
- 3:33Speaker 4: just it would appear that I wanted to put it
- 3:35Speaker 4: to bed if I'm doing because would get tired of
- 3:37Speaker 4: it being asked the same question. I understand the gamesmanship
- 3:40Speaker 4: and those things, but at some point, man, just say who's.
- 3:43Speaker 3: Calling the plays?
- 3:44Speaker 4: Like if it's him, is press whatever. I don't understand
- 3:48Speaker 4: the secrecy behind all of it. It is always a
- 3:50Speaker 4: collaborative effort, like Doug do some things, press to do
- 3:54Speaker 4: some things. Some other guys will contribute to the flow
- 3:57Speaker 4: of the game and what they're seeing and how they're
- 3:59Speaker 4: calling it third down run game, in those things. I
- 4:02Speaker 4: don't know, Man, it's become probably a much bigger issue
- 4:04Speaker 4: than it ever needed to become.
- 4:05Speaker 5: Yeah, I just think from Doug's perspective of having seen him,
- 4:09Speaker 5: I think I've been around him almost every time he's
- 4:11Speaker 5: been asked about it, and there's always a little bit
- 4:13Speaker 5: of a smile of you figure it out, and yeah,
- 4:16Speaker 5: I think sometimes Doug likes to sort of have fun
- 4:19Speaker 5: with that. Again, I don't necessarily know. I think we
- 4:23Speaker 5: have probably spent more time on this show right now
- 4:27Speaker 5: talking about it than Doug has in terms of not
- 4:31Speaker 5: knowing how it's going to play out if you follow me,
- 4:34Speaker 5: I think he knows exactly what they're gonna do, and
- 4:37Speaker 5: I don't think he considers it as big a deal
- 4:39Speaker 5: as everybody else. And to me, it's sort of his
- 4:41Speaker 5: way of saying, ah, you're over playing this one a
- 4:43Speaker 5: little bit.
- 4:45Speaker 2: Another topic this week going into this game the matchup
- 4:48Speaker 2: of the quarterbacks, Trevor Lawrence and to a Tongue of Iloa,
- 4:52Speaker 2: both getting off season contract extensions to a fifty three
- 4:56Speaker 2: point one million dollar average salary fifty five million Trevor Lawrence. Well,
- 5:03Speaker 2: Tua has not won a playoff game Trevor has. These
- 5:07Speaker 2: are kind of two guys, Bucky that feel like they
- 5:08Speaker 2: haven't really taken that big, big jump. They've got the
- 5:12Speaker 2: money to come with it, but now what's next for
- 5:15Speaker 2: each of these two guys. I think this is a
- 5:16Speaker 2: fun matchup on Sunday between these two quarterbacks. Yeah.
- 5:20Speaker 3: No, it is a fun matchup.
- 5:22Speaker 4: And it's a fun matchup because you got two really
- 5:24Speaker 4: good quarterbacks that are beginning to come into their own.
- 5:27Speaker 4: We can throw the compensation aside because that is based
- 5:31Speaker 4: on what people expect him to do, how they expect
- 5:33Speaker 4: them perform, the production that you expect to get from
- 5:36Speaker 4: your young quarterback over the next two to three years,
- 5:39Speaker 4: and those things. I think for both of them, it's
- 5:40Speaker 4: really important to get off to a fast start this
- 5:43Speaker 4: year because once you get paid, all of the extra
- 5:45Speaker 4: scrutiny and criticism comes because you command significant money. I
- 5:50Speaker 4: think for Trevor Lawrence in particular, it's just about being Look,
- 5:53Speaker 4: I would say, it's just about getting back to being
- 5:55Speaker 4: number sixteen like we saw when he was at his
- 5:57Speaker 4: best last.
- 5:58Speaker 3: Year and really in twenty twenty two.
- 6:00Speaker 4: If he just plays like a past first point guard
- 6:02Speaker 4: and allow the guys on the perimeter to go to work,
- 6:04Speaker 4: I think everyone will be fine with the results he doesn't.
- 6:08Speaker 4: Hopefully he can avoid the temptation to feel like he
- 6:10Speaker 4: has to validate himself to the football world and just
- 6:14Speaker 4: plays the game as it comes, because if he does that,
- 6:17Speaker 4: he's more than good enough to lead to Jaguars to victory.
- 6:19Speaker 5: Yeah, Bucky, something you said like a long time ago
- 6:23Speaker 5: has really resonated in sort of how I analyze and
- 6:26Speaker 5: see this offense this year that in twenty two it
- 6:30Speaker 5: just seemed like Trevor never cared one iota who he
- 6:34Speaker 5: was thrown to on a given play, and last year
- 6:38Speaker 5: at times it felt like he wanted to get Ridley involved,
- 6:45Speaker 5: and it seems like this year. I'm not going to
- 6:49Speaker 5: say the receiving corps world's better than it was last year,
- 6:52Speaker 5: because I don't know that yet, but it certainly feels
- 6:55Speaker 5: like when he drops back, you know, I don't think
- 6:59Speaker 5: he's going to be sitting there saying, Oh, I've got
- 7:02Speaker 5: to get Christian the ball this play. I've got to
- 7:04Speaker 5: get Gabe Davis the ball this play. And I think
- 7:08Speaker 5: that could have a beyond the offensive line, beyond everything else.
- 7:13Speaker 5: That element could be the biggest factor in this offense
- 7:17Speaker 5: this year.
- 7:19Speaker 4: I'm with you, and it goes back to a conversation
- 7:21Speaker 4: that I had with Doug Peterson really really early when
- 7:24Speaker 4: he took the job over. He talked about the offense
- 7:26Speaker 4: is really predicated on.
- 7:29Speaker 3: High level quarterback.
- 7:31Speaker 4: Great system can operate and function at a high level
- 7:35Speaker 4: with B B plus receivers. There's not necessarily the need
- 7:39Speaker 4: to have a true or an established number one. It
- 7:42Speaker 4: is a system that creates opportunities for guys to make plays,
- 7:46Speaker 4: and then it's on you just to have good, very
- 7:49Speaker 4: good players make the plays that are expected to be made.
- 7:52Speaker 3: But a lot of it is about the quarterback really adhering.
- 7:55Speaker 4: To the system and letting the system work to create
- 7:58Speaker 4: the opportunities. This year, to me, the posle pieces fit
- 8:02Speaker 4: better together than last year.
- 8:04Speaker 3: Some of it is the complimentary games.
- 8:07Speaker 4: When I look at Gabe Davis and BTJ with what
- 8:10Speaker 4: they bring to kind of I would say, added dimension
- 8:14Speaker 4: to an offense that's really horizontal with Christian Kirk and
- 8:16Speaker 4: Evan Ingram and Trevior's at the end.
- 8:18Speaker 3: And the other part is I.
- 8:20Speaker 4: Won't I don't want to say this because I don't
- 8:22Speaker 4: want to come off like as a shot to anybody
- 8:24Speaker 4: that used to be there. But I just kind of
- 8:26Speaker 4: feel like it's an ego list group and everyone is
- 8:29Speaker 4: just going to do the job and the ball goes
- 8:31Speaker 4: where it goes, and everyone is going to be happy
- 8:33Speaker 4: as long as there's a W at the end of it.
- 8:35Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 8:35Speaker 5: And I never got the idea that with people here before,
- 8:39Speaker 5: meaning Calvin Ridley, I never got the idea that he
- 8:42Speaker 5: was pouting when he didn't get the ball. I just
- 8:45Speaker 5: think there was this thing last year going into the
- 8:48Speaker 5: season that he was a one and I, you know,
- 8:50Speaker 5: it felt like maybe Trevor Okay, I've got a one
- 8:53Speaker 5: every once in a while. I wanted to get him
- 8:55Speaker 5: the ball, wanted to get him involved, and you again,
- 8:59Speaker 5: I don't think it anything untoward going on. I think
- 9:02Speaker 5: that was just how it felt when you were watching it.
- 9:09Speaker 5: Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas Junior bucket. I don't know
- 9:13Speaker 5: that we have a feel yet based on what a
- 9:17Speaker 5: four preseason series with the starters, do we have a
- 9:21Speaker 5: feel for how this looks yet? Or is this gonna
- 9:24Speaker 5: play itself out? Meaning I think you mentioned in your
- 9:29Speaker 5: previous answer horizontal. It feels like it's gonna be more vertical,
- 9:33Speaker 5: but do we know how that's gonna look yet.
- 9:36Speaker 4: I think what was missing last year was the only
- 9:41Speaker 4: way the offense could play was half court offense, meaning
- 9:44Speaker 4: they couldn't push the ball down the field.
- 9:46Speaker 3: There wasn't a.
- 9:46Speaker 4: Threat of the deep ball, and as you play over
- 9:49Speaker 4: seventeen game season, defenses began to walk down and condense
- 9:53Speaker 4: the field when you rarely threaten them down to field.
- 9:56Speaker 4: This year's there's more of a vertical threat and a
- 9:59Speaker 4: vertical element to it we've already seen in preseason and
- 10:02Speaker 4: it's only preseason. But Brian Thomas Junior making plays down
- 10:05Speaker 4: the field. We saw Devin Duverne make plays down the field.
- 10:08Speaker 4: We've seen others make plays for Gabe Davis and Brian
- 10:11Speaker 4: Thomas Junior gave Davis averaging almost seventeen yards we catch
- 10:14Speaker 4: for his career, Brian Thomas Junior averaging over seventeen his
- 10:17Speaker 4: last season at LSU. That changes the way the defense
- 10:21Speaker 4: has to defend the offense. And if you can back
- 10:24Speaker 4: the defense up, it not only create a space for
- 10:26Speaker 4: Christian Kirk and Evan Ingram on those intermediate and short routes,
- 10:30Speaker 4: but it gives more space for Travis Ettien to run
- 10:33Speaker 4: the ball. And even though that's a compliment to what
- 10:35Speaker 4: you want to do offensively, being able to run the
- 10:38Speaker 4: ball against lighter boxes then allows the Jaguars to dictate
- 10:42Speaker 4: the terms in a ball control manner, which is how
- 10:44Speaker 4: Doug Peterson wants to play.
- 10:46Speaker 2: And obviously, to have time to get those shots down
- 10:49Speaker 2: the field vertical, that offensive line has to hold up
- 10:52Speaker 2: as well to give it give time for the quarterback
- 10:54Speaker 2: to and the routes to develop down the field plenty.
- 10:58Speaker 2: Add we haven't touched the Jaguars defense of debut yet
- 11:01Speaker 2: against one of the fastest teams in football that's coming up.
- 11:05Speaker 2: And just a little bit more from Christian Kirk as
- 11:07Speaker 2: well on some of those new pieces and wide receiver,
- 11:11Speaker 2: and a little bit later shot Con speaking with the
- 11:14Speaker 2: team as they open training camp. Are you du bold
- 11:18Speaker 2: enough to become the Jags twenty twenty four Fan of
- 11:20Speaker 2: the Year on our trip to the Super Bowl? Visit
- 11:22Speaker 2: NFL dot com slash Fan of the Year and nominate
- 11:26Speaker 2: someone today. This is huddle up with Bucky Brooks.
- 11:36Speaker 6: You just gotta know where he's gonna be and understand that,
- 11:40Speaker 6: give him his respect and and you know, players like this,
- 11:46Speaker 6: I mean, these are these are these are good, good
- 11:49Speaker 6: players to have on your football team.
- 11:50Speaker 7: And and he's he's one of those, you know, uh,
- 11:53Speaker 7: sort of their staples on defense. He's physical.
- 11:59Speaker 6: You know, we've I've gone against him a couple of
- 12:00Speaker 6: times in different different locations, and and he's always seems
- 12:05Speaker 6: to show around the football.
- 12:06Speaker 7: So you gotta be careful you where you throw the football.
- 12:10Speaker 7: Ed go.
- 12:10Speaker 2: Doug Peterson today asked about Jalen Ramsey for the jam
- 12:16Speaker 2: Se Jalen Welcome Back. It's love with Bucky Brooks. That's
- 12:19Speaker 2: John Ozer, I'm JP Shadwick. Bucky Brooks in Los Angeles.
- 12:23Speaker 2: You can be there for the home opener next week
- 12:25Speaker 2: when the Jags hosts the Browns and we'll celebrate Hispanic
- 12:29Speaker 2: heritage and the Jags take the field at the Bank
- 12:31Speaker 2: for the first time during the thirtieth season. Lock in
- 12:34Speaker 2: your seats at Jaguars dot com slash tickets. Not the
- 12:38Speaker 2: only familiar face on the other side for the Dolphins
- 12:40Speaker 2: on defense Kaleis Campbell now in Miami as well. And
- 12:45Speaker 2: let's start with Jalen though Bucky. I know he's been
- 12:48Speaker 2: dealing with what a knee issue. We'll see what his
- 12:52Speaker 2: percentage is. You know, he'll be hyped and ready if
- 12:55Speaker 2: he can. If he's able to go in this game
- 12:58Speaker 2: against this team, it'll be a second outing against the Jaguars.
- 13:01Speaker 2: But he's still right there near the top in terms
- 13:04Speaker 2: of corners cover corners in the league.
- 13:06Speaker 4: Right yeah, he still is one of the top corners
- 13:10Speaker 4: in the league. And even though his role continues to
- 13:12Speaker 4: kind of transition from being an outside guy to an
- 13:15Speaker 4: inside guy to matching up and doing a bunch of
- 13:17Speaker 4: different things for whatever based on whatever the defense needs.
- 13:22Speaker 4: We'll see what the role is with Anthony Weaver as
- 13:24Speaker 4: a defensive coordinator. Joe Berry's playing a huge role for
- 13:28Speaker 4: this team in terms of being the pass game coordinator.
- 13:31Speaker 4: So maybe he uses Jalen similarly to the way that
- 13:34Speaker 4: he was used in the Rams when they were all together,
- 13:37Speaker 4: and that could mean more zone, more inside playing. I
- 13:40Speaker 4: would think that if you look at where the ball
- 13:41Speaker 4: goes in the Jaguars offense, typically Christian Kirk, So maybe
- 13:45Speaker 4: Jalen moves inside doesn't necessarily shadow him, but he's kind
- 13:49Speaker 4: of around him to make those critical plays on those
- 13:52Speaker 4: critical downs when the ball is typically going to either
- 13:54Speaker 4: thirteen or seventeen.
- 13:55Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Jalen's going to play man on somebody.
- 14:00Speaker 5: I don't know much about Jalen. I don't pretend to
- 14:02Speaker 5: be his best friend, but I think I know that.
- 14:04Speaker 2: Jayleen will tell you that Jalen wants to play some
- 14:06Speaker 2: man right.
- 14:07Speaker 5: He enjoys playing me.
- 14:08Speaker 2: He certainly does look forward to that matchup. But of course,
- 14:11Speaker 2: Koala has been around this league forever and one of
- 14:13Speaker 2: the great guys in the NFL, and I was with
- 14:16Speaker 2: Atlanta last year and now with Miami. We'll see what
- 14:18Speaker 2: kind of role he has in this defense and how
- 14:21Speaker 2: many snaps he might get in this game. Who knows.
- 14:24Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's it's any Jaguars fan knows. It's
- 14:27Speaker 5: always great to see kalais great guy. And you know,
- 14:31Speaker 5: he might play forever.
- 14:32Speaker 2: I mean he might, he might play. He might play
- 14:36Speaker 2: himself into Canton if he keeps playing this long. Ye,
- 14:39Speaker 2: the stats are racking up for him.
- 14:40Speaker 5: Unbelievable career.
- 14:41Speaker 2: Hey, let's touch now on the other side of things,
- 14:44Speaker 2: and the Jaguars defense making its debut here in the
- 14:47Speaker 2: twenty twenty four campaign against one of the fastest teams
- 14:52Speaker 2: in all of football. Head coach Doug Peterson on what
- 14:55Speaker 2: stands out about the Dolphins on tape right away?
- 14:59Speaker 6: Speed speed, speed, you know, in a lot of misdirection,
- 15:03Speaker 6: a lot of motions and shifts.
- 15:06Speaker 7: You know.
- 15:06Speaker 6: Obviously they do a great job with that in their
- 15:09Speaker 6: run game as well, and uh, you know, and it
- 15:12Speaker 6: kind of can cause you to just distort your eyes
- 15:17Speaker 6: a little bit, right and and and get off your
- 15:19Speaker 6: cues and and uh uh that's where some of the
- 15:22Speaker 6: big plays have come, you know for them. And obviously
- 15:24Speaker 6: you know, we know Tyreek and Waddle and the guys.
- 15:27Speaker 6: I mean, just a lot of speed and something that
- 15:31Speaker 6: we've uh, you know, we're gonna be able to at
- 15:34Speaker 6: least try to match otherwise, you know, be in the
- 15:36Speaker 6: right position.
- 15:37Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 15:37Speaker 2: Doug Peterson noted the speed a few times. Here is
- 15:41Speaker 2: an example at least from the pro day slash combine
- 15:44Speaker 2: numbers for some of these guys. Tyreek Hill under four
- 15:47Speaker 2: to three of his pro day. Jalen Waddle didn't run,
- 15:50Speaker 2: but he's probably in the four threes, Ray Moster, Devon
- 15:53Speaker 2: eighth Chan both in the four threes. That's a little
- 15:56Speaker 2: while ago. But these guys, most everybody on this list
- 16:00Speaker 2: had a top ten fastest run in the league last season.
- 16:05Speaker 2: So they are fast, they are real. They've moved before
- 16:09Speaker 2: the snap. Bucky, where do you begin with this Dolphins
- 16:12Speaker 2: offense to slow down?
- 16:15Speaker 4: Well, it begins and ends with being aware of the
- 16:19Speaker 4: playmakers and where they aligned.
- 16:22Speaker 3: Number one playmaker on this offense is Tyreek Hill.
- 16:24Speaker 4: He is the guy that kind of juices up this
- 16:28Speaker 4: stadium and this team with his big playmaker in ability.
- 16:32Speaker 3: You want to turn this pick it off. Don't allow
- 16:33Speaker 3: him to get going.
- 16:34Speaker 4: Don't allow him to kind of feed the frenzy that's
- 16:37Speaker 4: going to be down in Miami because this team is
- 16:39Speaker 4: going to be expected to score points and the fans
- 16:42Speaker 4: love that. I think for the Jags, it's about making
- 16:47Speaker 4: sure they keep the ball in front, not letting it
- 16:49Speaker 4: fly over the head, and then just do a really
- 16:51Speaker 4: good job of forcing them to.
- 16:52Speaker 3: Drive the ball down the field bit by bit.
- 16:55Speaker 4: If they can force ten eleven play drives to Osden
- 16:57Speaker 4: swing in their favor, that they.
- 16:58Speaker 3: Can get off the field and make plays.
- 17:00Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll go another direction. I think the best four
- 17:04Speaker 5: players on this defense should be Devon Hamilton, Trayvon Walker,
- 17:09Speaker 5: Josh Heinz, Allen Eric Armstead, and they've built this defense
- 17:13Speaker 5: to be great upfront, to be disruptive upfront, and to me,
- 17:18Speaker 5: the best way to counteract speed for this Jaguars defense
- 17:21Speaker 5: is to have those four be dominant and disruptive and
- 17:24Speaker 5: not let things get started. So you've got to count
- 17:28Speaker 5: for their speed, But if you don't, if those four
- 17:31Speaker 5: guys win, then all of a sudden things happen a
- 17:34Speaker 5: lot faster for the Dolphins offense. Then even the Dolphins
- 17:37Speaker 5: offense wanted to stop the run and pressure to and
- 17:42Speaker 5: those four guys winning and being dominant, to me, they
- 17:47Speaker 5: define the defense and if they play well, then this
- 17:50Speaker 5: defense can disrupt any it can disrupt any offense, including miamis.
- 17:55Speaker 2: Yeah, Bucky. I mean, this is a group that any quarterback.
- 18:00Speaker 2: But you get pressure on Two all of a sudden,
- 18:02Speaker 2: and that thing can change in a hurry. I know
- 18:05Speaker 2: they like that they can take a five yard run
- 18:07Speaker 2: and go for eighty. That's the way the speed of
- 18:10Speaker 2: this team is. But if Two is off balance or
- 18:14Speaker 2: you know, something strange with him going on, that can
- 18:16Speaker 2: go a rye in a hurry.
- 18:18Speaker 3: Yeah, it can't go a right.
- 18:19Speaker 4: And look, anytime you're playing a team like that that
- 18:23Speaker 4: has weapons on the outside, if you're unable to cover
- 18:27Speaker 4: the weapons, then the main thing you got.
- 18:28Speaker 3: To do is you got to kill the head of
- 18:30Speaker 3: the snake, which is a quarterback.
- 18:32Speaker 4: And so that make me knocking the quarterback around, disrupting
- 18:35Speaker 4: the time and then the rhythm of the passing game by
- 18:38Speaker 4: affecting him. And look, he is a guy that plays
- 18:41Speaker 4: in rhythm. When you talk to people around the league,
- 18:43Speaker 4: they kind of liking him to a blackjack dealer in Vegas,
- 18:47Speaker 4: like the balls coming out quickly and fast, and you're
- 18:49Speaker 4: just hoping that you get a winning hand. But if
- 18:52Speaker 4: you can kind of knock him off and find a
- 18:54Speaker 4: way to get in his face and force him off
- 18:57Speaker 4: of his.
- 18:57Speaker 3: Spot and not allowed him to throw on time.
- 19:01Speaker 4: Then you have a better chance of making sure that
- 19:03Speaker 4: Tyreek Hill and Jayden wallall aren't the ones that beat you.
- 19:05Speaker 4: But you're gonna have to mix it up. You can't
- 19:07Speaker 4: give him a steady diet of everything. It has to
- 19:09Speaker 4: be some man to man. It has to be a
- 19:10Speaker 4: little zone, it has to be some pressure in some
- 19:13Speaker 4: straight coverage. But you cannot allow him to get a
- 19:15Speaker 4: beat on you because he's really good and really effective
- 19:18Speaker 4: when he knows what you're doing and what he's going
- 19:19Speaker 4: to see and he can just catch rock and throw
- 19:21Speaker 4: and get the ball to the playmaker.
- 19:23Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think it's impaarative on the offense. Look,
- 19:28Speaker 5: the Dolphins are going to score, yeah, not every time,
- 19:32Speaker 5: but playing this kind of a defense, I mean, I'm
- 19:35Speaker 5: playing this kind of an offense. To me, it's always
- 19:37Speaker 5: impairedive defense. Break serve a couple times, get a couple
- 19:39Speaker 5: of turnovers, and offense has to be scoring so that
- 19:44Speaker 5: those turnovers matter. Then you get ahead of them, force
- 19:46Speaker 5: them out of their game. This Miami offense was devastating
- 19:50Speaker 5: last year except when it wasn't and when it wasn't
- 19:54Speaker 5: was against really good teams that played defense well against him.
- 19:57Speaker 5: So it's clearly a beatable team. You just have to
- 20:01Speaker 5: be good enough to do it, which sounds kind of silly,
- 20:04Speaker 5: but what I mean is good teams. Last year the
- 20:07Speaker 5: Dolphin struggled against, so be one of those good teams.
- 20:11Speaker 2: Keep it simple, John, that's announces No.
- 20:15Speaker 4: I just I do think it's simple, and I do
- 20:17Speaker 4: think Doug Peterson kind of talked about covering the team
- 20:21Speaker 4: or whatever because the fear factory fear factor can make
- 20:24Speaker 4: you back off and play soft, which really plays into
- 20:27Speaker 4: the hands. He talked about challenging those guys and competing
- 20:31Speaker 4: and what you have to be willing to live with.
- 20:34Speaker 4: If you're a defensive coordinator, if you're the head coach, hey,
- 20:36Speaker 4: they're going to win some plays, but you want to take.
- 20:39Speaker 3: Away the easy throws.
- 20:41Speaker 4: And if Ryan Nilson sticks to his guns and sticks
- 20:44Speaker 4: to what he's talked about from the time he stepped in.
- 20:46Speaker 3: He said nothing cheap and nothing deep.
- 20:49Speaker 4: That means they're going to challenge them at the line
- 20:50Speaker 4: of scrimmers, take away the bubble screens and the quick throws,
- 20:54Speaker 4: and they're going to work to stay on top of
- 20:56Speaker 4: them down the field. Well, if that's what the philosophy,
- 20:58Speaker 4: you want to go in week one and do that.
- 21:01Speaker 4: And you got to play to who you are, and
- 21:03Speaker 4: the Jaguars have played a lot of man and man
- 21:05Speaker 4: throughout the preseason. I would expect them to challenge the
- 21:07Speaker 4: Miami Dolphins. Now, some would say that's the recipe for disaster,
- 21:10Speaker 4: but I don't know.
- 21:11Speaker 3: I think you have to make people earn it.
- 21:13Speaker 4: And let's see if we can line up, matchup and
- 21:15Speaker 4: play man to man and force them to find other
- 21:18Speaker 4: means of being able to score.
- 21:19Speaker 5: Any good We're gonna find out.
- 21:20Speaker 2: We're about to find out at one o'clock on Sunday,
- 21:23Speaker 2: the NFL.
- 21:23Speaker 5: That's what it's all about.
- 21:24Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 21:25Speaker 2: Back in a moment, we'll hear from JAG's owner Shod Cohn,
- 21:27Speaker 2: who addressed the team before training camp, and Doug Peterson's
- 21:30Speaker 2: reaction to some of the statements of the Jaguars owner.
- 21:35Speaker 2: Jags fans want customize Jags furniture for your home, check

- 21:43Speaker 2: Chair Furniture for fans. This is huddle up with Bucky
- 21:47Speaker 2: Brooks Ago.
- 21:57Speaker 8: We celebrated these partnership with the Jaguars and the approval
- 22:04Speaker 8: of funding for the new stadium of the future. So
- 22:08Speaker 8: I met with the reporters and the discussion obviously quickly
- 22:13Speaker 8: turned to football, and I was quoted for us. Winning
- 22:19Speaker 8: now is expectation. So really I've been looking forward to
- 22:24Speaker 8: tonight to set the record straight. I was not misquoted,
- 22:30Speaker 8: and let me just repeat, winning now is the expectation.
- 22:36Speaker 8: Make no mistake, this is the best team assembled by
- 22:40Speaker 8: the Jacksonville Jaguars ever, best players, best coaches, but most importantly,
- 22:48Speaker 8: let's prove it by winning now.
- 22:53Speaker 3: Owners.
- 22:54Speaker 2: Jaguars owners shot con in a team meeting at the
- 22:57Speaker 2: start of training camp. It is in the Hunt, available
- 23:01Speaker 2: now on the Jaguars YouTube page. Welcome Back. Huddle up
- 23:04Speaker 2: with Bucky Brooks. Tuesday, September tenth, from five to six
- 23:09Speaker 2: head to publics in Neptune Beach. You'll meet Ross Mattison
- 23:13Speaker 2: and Cam Little of your Jaguars for special appearance. They'll
- 23:16Speaker 2: get up for the home opener that's next week. The
- 23:18Speaker 2: public's at six thirty Atlantic Boulevard, Neptune Beach, Tuesday September tenth,
- 23:23Speaker 2: five to six pm. A meet and greet with Long Stamper,
- 23:26Speaker 2: Ross Mattison, and Kicker cam little publics where shopping is
- 23:30Speaker 2: a pleasure. JP Shadwick, John Oser, Bucky Brooks Well, I
- 23:34Speaker 2: win the owners there saying winning now is the expectation.
- 23:40Speaker 2: How much should that? Does that ramp up the pressure
- 23:45Speaker 2: in the building. Head coach Doug Peterson was asked today.
- 23:49Speaker 6: Quite honestly, that's what I was hired to do, and
- 23:51Speaker 6: that's why we brought these players in here to do, right,
- 23:53Speaker 6: is to win football games. And we're not going to
- 23:56Speaker 6: make excuses for why.
- 23:58Speaker 7: We just have to go do it.
- 24:02Speaker 6: I can appreciate that, you know, and it doesn't add
- 24:05Speaker 6: any extra pressure or anything like that.
- 24:06Speaker 7: We just have to go, you know, do our jobs.
- 24:10Speaker 2: Bucky, any difference from the owners up there pounding the
- 24:12Speaker 2: table in front of the team, No, I.
- 24:15Speaker 4: Mean, I just think he's being very transparent about the expectations,
- 24:19Speaker 4: and sometimes the players need to hear that because a
- 24:21Speaker 4: lot of times we insulate the players from those kinds
- 24:24Speaker 4: of things. Good coaches would kind of take the pressure
- 24:26Speaker 4: off of the players and put it on themselves.
- 24:28Speaker 3: Sometimes the players have to feel that pressure.
- 24:30Speaker 4: Sometimes the players have to feel like, hey man, the
- 24:32Speaker 4: expectation is that we're going to win. And it's not
- 24:34Speaker 4: just me telling you that, Like, listen, the owner himself.
- 24:37Speaker 4: And if the owner says that, guess what happens. If
- 24:39Speaker 4: it doesn't happen, there's gonna be a lot of people
- 24:42Speaker 4: who have to kind of look and maybe find other
- 24:45Speaker 4: places to work. So everyone has to understand this is
- 24:48Speaker 4: what it is. This is why we have to operate
- 24:50Speaker 4: with a level of urgency to get this done right now,
- 24:53Speaker 4: because the owner is not going to wait.
- 24:54Speaker 3: And all the points that Sha Khan made.
- 24:56Speaker 4: About you know, best coaches, best players, best facility, all
- 24:59Speaker 4: the upgrades.
- 25:00Speaker 3: All those things, all of that is true.
- 25:02Speaker 4: And so when your ownership, the only thing that you
- 25:04Speaker 4: can do is give everyone exactly what they need and
- 25:07Speaker 4: then your expectation is you have what you need, I
- 25:10Speaker 4: expect you to win and win at a high level.
- 25:11Speaker 3: So that's look, I appreciate that.
- 25:13Speaker 5: You know it's true JP the shot con said, set
- 25:16Speaker 5: that's true. That makes it true. So yeah, does it
- 25:23Speaker 5: change how these players act every day, how they think
- 25:26Speaker 5: every day? No, but it sets the right tone. And
- 25:30Speaker 5: after last season, you know, there's a lot of disappointment
- 25:33Speaker 5: and a lot of resetting and a lot of spending.
- 25:37Speaker 5: So sure, the goal is to win every year, and
- 25:42Speaker 5: maybe this year is a little more because it's the understating.
- 25:48Speaker 2: Right, I mean, you always kind of want to develop
- 25:51Speaker 2: some things. But I mean they went out and got
- 25:52Speaker 2: some older free agent guys to come in and contribute
- 25:56Speaker 2: right away as well.
- 25:57Speaker 5: And well, you don't sign Ronald Darby, Mitch Morris and
- 26:02Speaker 5: Eric Armstead for twenty twenty eight.
- 26:04Speaker 2: That's right for this year and next maybe actually this year, certainly.
- 26:08Speaker 5: This year and then with ten your veterans was Brandon
- 26:11Speaker 5: Sheriff is too. You concentrate on twenty twenty four and
- 26:15Speaker 5: worry about twenty twenty five when it's February fifteenth, after
- 26:18Speaker 5: the Super Bowl. Baby, the parade, that's right, Yeah, you
- 26:22Speaker 5: start thinking about it on the parade.
- 26:24Speaker 2: Let's come back in a moment. Yeah, see look at it.
- 26:28Speaker 2: Listen to him, Bucky already with the parade.
- 26:30Speaker 5: I'm not locking the parade down. I'm saying that's when
- 26:32Speaker 5: you think about it.
- 26:34Speaker 3: All right, confetti, I'm ready for it.
- 26:36Speaker 5: You're ready for the ready with the confetti back in
- 26:39Speaker 5: a moment.
- 26:40Speaker 2: Christian Kirk will hear one more time from Doug Peterson
- 26:42Speaker 2: discussing the defensive depth chart. This is huddle up with
- 26:46Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks. Those guys are pros. You espe she gave
- 26:59Speaker 2: him being a fifth season. Now you know, he's done
- 27:02Speaker 2: it at a high level, and so.
- 27:04Speaker 9: It just really you look to those guys to just
- 27:06Speaker 9: fall back on their preparation and their process. He practices hard,
- 27:10Speaker 9: one of the guys that we look to to set
- 27:12Speaker 9: the tone. And then Brian has just been a sponge,
- 27:16Speaker 9: you know, same thing with Devin. You know, Devin definitely
- 27:18Speaker 9: a little bit of a quieter guy, but you know
- 27:20Speaker 9: when he's out there, he's always given it his all.
- 27:23Speaker 9: And like I said, he's done at a high level
- 27:25Speaker 9: for a long time. And you know, I think all
- 27:27Speaker 9: of these guys have been around other people too that
- 27:30Speaker 9: have done it at a high level. And I've been
- 27:31Speaker 9: around to me great pro So I think it just
- 27:34Speaker 9: goes to speak the type of.
- 27:35Speaker 3: You know, people we have on this roster.
- 27:38Speaker 9: So I know, when those those those lights turn on
- 27:40Speaker 9: and the whistle blows, you know they'll be ready to go,
- 27:44Speaker 9: and you know we'll go out there and set the tone.
- 27:47Speaker 2: Welling back to a conversation earlier in the show, it's
- 27:49Speaker 2: Christian Kirk on the new guys on the offense. Gave
- 27:53Speaker 2: Davis and Brian Thomas Junior welcome back. Huddle Up with
- 27:55Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks has brought to you by Field's Auto Group Jacksonville.
- 27:59Speaker 2: See Field First, Jacksonville's premiere luxury auto group. Go to
- 28:03Speaker 2: Fieldsauto dot com. Those guys will make their Jaguars debut
- 28:09Speaker 2: this Sunday in Miami, and the Jags defense will make
- 28:13Speaker 2: his debut as well with new coordinator Ryan Nielsen. And
- 28:18Speaker 2: the depth chart. The unofficial depth chart came out in
- 28:20Speaker 2: the game notes the other day. There were a couple
- 28:23Speaker 2: of oars on there at the linebacker position. Head coach
- 28:26Speaker 2: Doug Peterson was asked about that today.
- 28:30Speaker 8: A linebacker in Exofoya, it says Chadman or Devin Lloyd
- 28:33Speaker 8: on the depth chart. Is there any clarity or is
- 28:36Speaker 8: that situational based?
- 28:38Speaker 6: Usually situational? Yeah, situational based. Yeah, it's Doug Peterson or
- 28:44Speaker 6: Press Taylor.
- 28:46Speaker 2: That's the way Doug Peterson's fund set is. I think
- 28:50Speaker 2: that was a mic drop moment at the end of
- 28:52Speaker 2: the press conference today. Guys, so hey, he's feeling good.
- 28:56Speaker 2: It's week one. Hayes almost in the barn from the
- 28:59Speaker 2: off season. Buck that's a good way to finish a
- 29:01Speaker 2: press conference.
- 29:03Speaker 3: That is a good way.
- 29:04Speaker 4: And look, there's a little gamesmanship there right when you
- 29:07Speaker 4: put the ore on the depth chart. You absolutely know
- 29:10Speaker 4: how the order is and you know you have all
- 29:12Speaker 4: the contingency plans. But it's you know, just kind of
- 29:16Speaker 4: messing with the media and other teams just looking at
- 29:19Speaker 4: the depth chart or whatever.
- 29:20Speaker 3: But we'll know quickly who's who and what's what.
- 29:23Speaker 4: And as it relates to Press Taylor and Doug Peterson,
- 29:27Speaker 4: we have a strong sense for who's calling the plays.
- 29:29Speaker 4: Like you'll be able to tell who's calling the plays
- 29:31Speaker 4: very early in the game just by the way the
- 29:32Speaker 4: flow of the game goes. I think there's a very
- 29:35Speaker 4: distinct style to Doug's play calling, and there's a very
- 29:38Speaker 4: distinct way that Press Taylor goes about his business. Even
- 29:41Speaker 4: though it's collaborative, I think when you're to play call,
- 29:43Speaker 4: you can kind of feel who's in charge.
- 29:45Speaker 5: Yeah, And I think as far as the defense, Ryan
- 29:47Speaker 5: Nilsen every time he talks has talked about there being
- 29:51Speaker 5: no depth chart and the fact that that keeps players
- 29:56Speaker 5: involved and motivated, et cetera. To me, the three oars
- 30:02Speaker 5: in the depth chart not having Darnell Savage is a
- 30:08Speaker 5: starting safety, well he's really more probably more of a
- 30:11Speaker 5: nickel with Antonio Johnson's a safety. A lot of the
- 30:14Speaker 5: depth chart. I guess you learn after a while to
- 30:17Speaker 5: take the depth chart with a grain of sault, and
- 30:20Speaker 5: even if that's press or Doug, take it with a
- 30:23Speaker 5: grain of salt.
- 30:24Speaker 2: Absolutely. The Jaguars visit the Dolphins this Sunday and the
- 30:30Speaker 2: official away game watch party is at mister Chubby's and
- 30:33Speaker 2: Pana Vidra. You can indulge in the biggest and best

- 30:46Speaker 2: always is mister Chubbies Wings and Pana Vidra. Mister Chubbies
- 30:50Speaker 2: Wings proud partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars one o'clock kickoff
- 30:53Speaker 2: times Sunday ten am with the public's tailgate show twelve
- 30:56Speaker 2: o'clock Countdown to kickoff on the network. We've got plenty
- 30:59Speaker 2: of programming the rest of the week, though, John We've
- 31:01Speaker 2: got Jags Am tomorrow.
- 31:03Speaker 5: Yes, we do at ten am at Jaguars Am I'll
- 31:07Speaker 5: have Eric Armstead on the ozone podcast. And but I mean,
- 31:11Speaker 5: no matter what we do, can it get better than
- 31:13Speaker 5: having the Bucky Brooks Show.
- 31:15Speaker 2: It's hard to be.
- 31:16Speaker 5: It's we can talk about it, we can hype it,
- 31:20Speaker 5: all the all the false stuff. The reality is Bucky's Bucky.
- 31:24Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, I appreciate the sentiment. I appreciate
- 31:26Speaker 3: the sentiment.
- 31:26Speaker 5: I'm excited, and he doesn't disagree. You notice that, No,
- 31:30Speaker 5: no false modesty. I like that.
- 31:33Speaker 4: I feel like I feel like it's a great thing.
- 31:35Speaker 4: I feel like this is the start of a great season.
- 31:37Speaker 4: I'm really optimistic about the team's chances. We would like
- 31:40Speaker 4: to see us get off to a fast start. I
- 31:43Speaker 4: just think the team, the chemistry and the camaraderie with
- 31:46Speaker 4: the team just feels different, and I think that ends
- 31:49Speaker 4: up producing better results on the field.
- 31:51Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree. I mean Sunday is big. I think
- 31:55Speaker 5: the first quarter has a chance to feel like one
- 31:59Speaker 5: of those college football first quarters signs where everything's flying
- 32:02Speaker 5: around JP. You do a lot of college games, just
- 32:06Speaker 5: that energy flying around, teams trying to figure out on
- 32:08Speaker 5: the sidelines. I think the second quarter, how both teams
- 32:12Speaker 5: respond to what's going on We'll have a big impact
- 32:17Speaker 5: on how the game actually turns out.
- 32:18Speaker 2: There's always a wrinkle or two that you don't know,
- 32:21Speaker 2: you haven't scouted, unscouted looks. All these things can happen
- 32:25Speaker 2: in week one. We'll expect that on Sunday, Bucky, we'll
- 32:27Speaker 2: talk to you.
- 32:28Speaker 4: Have a good one, hey man, thanks so much for
- 32:31Speaker 4: having me. All guys, should be fun this weekend, looking
- 32:33Speaker 4: forward to it.
