Speaker 1: busy show. Of course, NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks joins
0:33
Speaker 1: us each and every Wednesday, we'll hear from Johnny and
0:35
Speaker 1: get his thoughts on the latest around t I A
0:38
Speaker 1: Bank Field. The last couple of days, we'll look at
0:41
Speaker 1: the week sixteen, the Jaguars and the Jets. As we
0:44
Speaker 1: said on the UK TV show, it's a boxing day
0:47
Speaker 1: bout this Sunday at MetLife Stadium and East Rutherford, New Jersey,
0:52
Speaker 1: and social media questions as always, John good day, that's correct. Okay,
0:58
Speaker 1: well then it is a boxing day bout this. I
1:00
Speaker 1: mean I didn't just make that up. Job. Hey, Bucky,
1:04
Speaker 1: good afternoon to you. What's up? What's up? What's not
1:08
Speaker 1: we're doing? Hanging in there? You know, it's Week sixteen,
1:11
Speaker 1: coming up. The Jacks have dropped six in a row,
1:13
Speaker 1: so I gotta try to figure something out. I don't
1:16
Speaker 1: even I don't even know about those previous fifteen weeks.
1:19
Speaker 1: I'm just focused on this week, trying to get a
1:22
Speaker 1: one and oh mindset to just win the week. All
1:25
Speaker 1: that other stuff that happened previously doesn't matter. Whatever happens
1:28
Speaker 1: ahead of us doesn't matter. I'm just focused right now.
1:32
Speaker 1: It's it's a one game season for both or for
1:35
Speaker 1: all three of us. Yeah, I just focused on right now.
1:38
Speaker 1: I wanted to be the best week that we've had.
1:40
Speaker 1: That's all you can do. John is focused on the
1:42
Speaker 1: task at hand, and this week, the task at hand
1:44
Speaker 1: is the New York Jets, and they have fifteen players
1:46
Speaker 1: on the COVID nineteen list as of today, and the
1:49
Speaker 1: head coaches on there too, Bucky, that's a it's a
1:51
Speaker 1: lot to deal with now. Last week, of course, the
1:54
Speaker 1: Texans had a few guys, some starters on that list.
1:57
Speaker 1: This one seems a lot deeper, and it's starting to
2:00
Speaker 1: become a prevailing topic around the NFL these days. It
2:05
Speaker 1: is becoming a big topic around the league. Obviously, the
2:08
Speaker 1: virus is spiking. We have new provy corotocols, COVID protocols
2:12
Speaker 1: that are kind of changing the way guys can be
2:14
Speaker 1: active or inactive in those things. But at the end
2:17
Speaker 1: of the day, like the Jets team that the Jaguars faced,
2:20
Speaker 1: they just a bunch of nameless, faceless people. They're just
2:22
Speaker 1: a bunch of green blobs. So it doesn't really matter
2:26
Speaker 1: who shows up. I think Jacksonville has to tend to
2:28
Speaker 1: their own didn't worry about that party before they can
2:30
Speaker 1: be worried about what problems they have going on. Yeah,
2:34
Speaker 1: and it can they beat a bunch of green blobs
2:36
Speaker 1: is the question. I mean, it's you haven't beaten anybody
2:39
Speaker 1: a long time, haven't played one a long time, so uh,
2:42
Speaker 1: you know, I uh, you know, we'll see how this
2:46
Speaker 1: weekend goes. I hope they play well, but you know,
2:51
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to be optimistic after six weeks. It is.
2:53
Speaker 1: Let's hear from Darryl Bevil, interim head coach, earlier today
2:58
Speaker 1: on you know, everybody in the building trying to look
3:01
Speaker 1: for that winning result. I think a boost that would John,
3:04
Speaker 1: It will be a boost for all of us, you know,
3:06
Speaker 1: I mean, all these guys are in here, they're they're
3:07
Speaker 1: they're working hard and um, you know, I mean everybody's
3:11
Speaker 1: working toward that common goal to get a win. Um,
3:13
Speaker 1: we're trying to limit all the distractions and and get
3:15
Speaker 1: focused back onto the football field. And uh, you know,
3:18
Speaker 1: so whether it's Trevor, whether it's anyone else, I think
3:21
Speaker 1: we would, Uh, you know, we're looking forward to get
3:23
Speaker 1: in the win. As far as Trevor goes, you know,
3:25
Speaker 1: I just want to continue to progress. You know, it's
3:27
Speaker 1: a as we've talked many times in here, everything that
3:30
Speaker 1: he's doing is a new learning experience, and we want
3:31
Speaker 1: him to learn from the last one. We want him
3:33
Speaker 1: to continue to get better and um, you know, we're
3:36
Speaker 1: hoping to see that in these last three games. That's
3:38
Speaker 1: Darryll Bevil today, John Osier, all right, I have a
3:41
Speaker 1: question for the ex player, not the scout. I have
3:44
Speaker 1: a question for the ex player. Were's multiple hats? You well,
3:47
Speaker 1: he wears a lot of hats in and nice hats.
3:49
Speaker 1: He makes a good living. Um, what, Bucky, it's so difficult. Um,
3:55
Speaker 1: with three games remaining and you're and you're two and twelve,
3:59
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure I've ever quite felt this way
4:02
Speaker 1: going to the last few games of the season, and
4:04
Speaker 1: I've covered some losing teams, but just even having trouble
4:08
Speaker 1: focusing on the storylines, on what matters, on what's important
4:12
Speaker 1: because of all the distractions in the situation. Uh, you've
4:16
Speaker 1: probably haven't been in this situation as a player quite this,
4:19
Speaker 1: But how difficult is it for these guys to focus?
4:22
Speaker 1: And how difficult is it? Is it a feeling that
4:25
Speaker 1: once Sunday comes around, you're like, Oh, I got a game?
4:27
Speaker 1: Or is it possible to focus in all this? I mean,
4:32
Speaker 1: I think you're trying to focus, but um, I think honestly,
4:36
Speaker 1: it is tough when you're marred in a losing streak
4:39
Speaker 1: in the playoffs are out of the mix, and you
4:41
Speaker 1: just got the playing out the string. Uh. The young
4:44
Speaker 1: players are trying to play and get experienced and do that.
4:46
Speaker 1: But I think there's someone in the building, a veteran
4:49
Speaker 1: player who's told everybody, hey, man, when change happens, we
4:53
Speaker 1: all are on notice. And the only thing that you
4:56
Speaker 1: can do is your game tape of your resume. And
4:58
Speaker 1: so when somebody new come comes in, they're gonna look
5:01
Speaker 1: at all the games that they're gonna look at who
5:02
Speaker 1: was playing and who was playing hard and who was
5:04
Speaker 1: playing well at the end of the year, and those
5:07
Speaker 1: guys will have a chance to continue on as Jaguars.
5:10
Speaker 1: But the other guys who don't perform well, those guys
5:12
Speaker 1: won't be here. And so selfishly, you have to kind
5:15
Speaker 1: of put put it on yourself to make sure. I
5:17
Speaker 1: don't know what the team is going to do, but
5:18
Speaker 1: I'm a ball out and I'm gonna play at a
5:20
Speaker 1: high level. I'm gonna putting myself in a position to
5:21
Speaker 1: be here next year. You kind of have to operate
5:24
Speaker 1: selfishly and independently to figure out what it looks like
5:27
Speaker 1: an end of the team wins great, but I need
5:29
Speaker 1: to make sure that I play well. And every word
5:32
Speaker 1: you said Bucky is the ultimate NFL cliche. But there's
5:36
Speaker 1: a reason cliches are true, because it's you know, it's
5:39
Speaker 1: what you hear from every player in this situation. You
5:41
Speaker 1: know who said that. Darryl Bevil said that on the
5:43
Speaker 1: Coaches Show yesterday, said that exact same thing. He has
5:45
Speaker 1: been around the league for twenty one years, and you
5:49
Speaker 1: have to because it has been tough. Every ozone question
5:53
Speaker 1: I write right now is about anything but the game
5:56
Speaker 1: on the field. I'm sure every question these guys have
5:59
Speaker 1: is about every game at the game in the field.
6:00
Speaker 1: But at some point, as as tired as it sounds
6:05
Speaker 1: for fans who have heard all this year after year
6:07
Speaker 1: around here, that really does come down to what those
6:11
Speaker 1: that's what those players mindset has to be. The true
6:13
Speaker 1: pros have to find a way to get into that spot,
6:17
Speaker 1: to get prepared and to go play well and play hard.
6:21
Speaker 1: And I Shad Griffin talked about it a lot, and
6:22
Speaker 1: I consider him a true pro um He's trying to
6:26
Speaker 1: tell young guys, this matters. These next three games to
6:30
Speaker 1: you matter, They matter to this team, and you've got
6:32
Speaker 1: to play like it because that's why you're getting paid,
6:35
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. Certainly for Trevor Lawrence trying to
6:38
Speaker 1: get things on track down the stretch of his rookie
6:41
Speaker 1: season as well. Only one touchdown passed over the last
6:44
Speaker 1: seven weeks for the rookie had a climpse in the
6:46
Speaker 1: number one overall pick, but it still has that confidence
6:49
Speaker 1: even with three weeks to go. I think my I
6:52
Speaker 1: think my confidence is good. Um right now, it's still
6:55
Speaker 1: it's still intact. You know, I'm still gonna go out
6:57
Speaker 1: there and play my game and obviously, I been saying
7:00
Speaker 1: that we need to be more productive, we need to
7:01
Speaker 1: score more points. And you know you mentioned only the
7:04
Speaker 1: one touchdown in seven games, Like I look at that
7:07
Speaker 1: and it's definitely like, I mean, I hate seeing that
7:10
Speaker 1: just because that means we're not scoring a lot of points.
7:12
Speaker 1: You know, it would be different if we were scoring
7:15
Speaker 1: points still but in the run game or whatever it is.
7:17
Speaker 1: And you know, if we're still able to win games,
7:19
Speaker 1: that's fine, Like that's my that's my job is to
7:21
Speaker 1: try to win games. So but when you see that
7:23
Speaker 1: and you're not scoring points, you know, it's kind of
7:25
Speaker 1: go hand in hand. It's it's disappointing, and it's something
7:28
Speaker 1: that we definitely are trying to trying to work on.
7:31
Speaker 1: And we gotta be more productive. And it's all the things,
7:33
Speaker 1: you know, like you have some more explosive plays, we
7:36
Speaker 1: gotta connect more, stay on schedule, stay on the field longer, um,
7:40
Speaker 1: and be better in the red zone. Last week we
7:41
Speaker 1: had a couple opportunities and didn't finish, so um, there's
7:44
Speaker 1: all things that we can control to get better at that,
7:47
Speaker 1: and we we gotta do it, and that starts starts
7:49
Speaker 1: with me. But yeah, I mean you're right, that's that's
7:51
Speaker 1: the direct reflection of um, how many points we've scored,
7:54
Speaker 1: you know, the last last few weeks. So that's Trevor
7:58
Speaker 1: Lawrence of course, early year today, and you're taking a
8:01
Speaker 1: look at rookie quarterbacks this season completions in passing yards,
8:05
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence second in completion, second in passing yards behind
8:09
Speaker 1: Mac Jones. They'll face off against each other next week, well,
8:13
Speaker 1: this week, Zach Wilson for the Jets, number four on
8:16
Speaker 1: that list. It doesn't happen too often, whether one in
8:19
Speaker 1: two picks in a draft face off against each other.
8:22
Speaker 1: It's only expected to be the fourth time in NFL
8:25
Speaker 1: history that two starting rookie quarterbacks selected first and second
8:29
Speaker 1: overall face off. The last time it happened was uh
8:34
Speaker 1: to Jamis Winston and Marcus Mariota ninety eight. Another time
8:38
Speaker 1: ninety three was the first time at least in recent history.
8:42
Speaker 1: So that's the storyline this week, Trevor Lawrence against Wilson.
8:46
Speaker 1: Next week it'll be Jones. That is what it is, Buckey. Yeah,
8:50
Speaker 1: but it's funny, JP, Like, just look at those numbers.
8:53
Speaker 1: You're talking about a three completion difference in about two
8:55
Speaker 1: hundred passing yards. But perception reality right for exception, is
9:00
Speaker 1: that Mac Jones is playing at all star level, He's
9:03
Speaker 1: the next Time Brady and all of this other stuff,
9:06
Speaker 1: and that Trevor Lawrence is playing terribly. But when you
9:09
Speaker 1: really look at it, those numbers are really really close.
9:11
Speaker 1: We don't see completion percentage, and I think what it
9:14
Speaker 1: really speaks to is Mac Jones is playing on a
9:17
Speaker 1: better overall team, and so his performance is hidden in
9:21
Speaker 1: the shadows of a team around him performing at a
9:25
Speaker 1: different level, either by coaches opting to go a different
9:29
Speaker 1: route where they're leaning on the running game, whether the
9:31
Speaker 1: defense is playing um at a higher level, they're doing
9:35
Speaker 1: something where Mac Jones is. Numbers are not necessarily a
9:38
Speaker 1: big factor, whereas Trevor Lawrence is being counted on to
9:42
Speaker 1: carry the team, and I don't think any first year
9:45
Speaker 1: player is able to do that. But I think those numbers,
9:47
Speaker 1: because I hadn't looked at those numbers, those numbers are
9:49
Speaker 1: eye popping. That we're talking about Trevor Lawrences, Oh my god,
9:53
Speaker 1: is he a bus And he's right there with Mac
9:55
Speaker 1: Jones when it comes to the production, it's crazy, right, Yeah,
9:58
Speaker 1: except for the TD and sception ratio. That's the big difference.
10:02
Speaker 1: But significantly. I don't know if I'm going on a
10:06
Speaker 1: limb here, JP, but a little more stable situation, say
10:12
Speaker 1: you know, so, I don't know how you Uh. I
10:17
Speaker 1: hate saying this because every talks about the quarterback needs
10:21
Speaker 1: to lift everybody around him, and that's true to a point.
10:24
Speaker 1: But but the quarterback, especially a young quarterback, also has
10:27
Speaker 1: to be in a situation where things are functioning around
10:30
Speaker 1: him at a certain level. Uh. And that just hasn't
10:33
Speaker 1: been the case here. So UH, I still go back.
10:37
Speaker 1: I've said this over and over again. People are tired
10:38
Speaker 1: of hearing me say it. I go back to the
10:40
Speaker 1: three games this season where you had a passer rating
10:43
Speaker 1: over ninety. Going into the by it looked like they
10:46
Speaker 1: were figuring stuff out. They had had a little stability offensively,
10:50
Speaker 1: James Robinson was healthy and running, and you started to
10:53
Speaker 1: get a feel for what they wanted to be. J
10:55
Speaker 1: rob gets hurt, everything sort of comes off the rails.
10:58
Speaker 1: It's been a disaster ever since. Uh. And then I
11:01
Speaker 1: look at the first two series at the other day
11:03
Speaker 1: when he when he had some confidence. Those two things
11:07
Speaker 1: are what I hold on too, and think this kid's
11:09
Speaker 1: gonna be okay. I don't think he'll lose confidence. I
11:13
Speaker 1: just don't, you know. And to me, as long as
11:15
Speaker 1: he doesn't lose confidence, as long as it doesn't shake
11:18
Speaker 1: him up what's going on, I think he'll be fine.
11:21
Speaker 1: I don't see any way in the world this kid
11:22
Speaker 1: loses confidence. I think he's got a a coarse self
11:27
Speaker 1: to stand on. It's fine. So I don't really worry
11:29
Speaker 1: about him that much. JP. Yeah, I wouldn't worry much
11:32
Speaker 1: about him, uh, either John or JP. I I think
11:36
Speaker 1: he's wired the right way. I think, if anything, this
11:39
Speaker 1: year has taught me that he has all the maturity
11:41
Speaker 1: and the poise and the professionalism to be a one player,
11:45
Speaker 1: and I think his game will eventually show that. But
11:47
Speaker 1: I think John, what you talk about is we like
11:49
Speaker 1: to romanticize the quarterback position as if they're John Wayne
11:53
Speaker 1: in the Western that they just take down everybody to
11:56
Speaker 1: do it all by themselves and they don't need anything
11:58
Speaker 1: else to be able to thrive and flour. And when
12:01
Speaker 1: you really look at it, all great quarterbacks typically have
12:04
Speaker 1: a handful of playmakers around them that are high caliber.
12:08
Speaker 1: I mean, Aaron Rodgers is playing with Davante Adams. Tom
12:10
Speaker 1: Brady has everybody like probably two or three Hall of
12:14
Speaker 1: Famers around him. In in Tampa, Pat Mahomes has Tyreek
12:18
Speaker 1: Hill and Travis Kelsey and the list goes on and
12:20
Speaker 1: on and on and so before we really can even
12:23
Speaker 1: understand what Trevor Lawrence can be in this league, you
12:26
Speaker 1: gotta make sure that you have enough high end players
12:28
Speaker 1: around him. And so the challenge for anybody in the
12:31
Speaker 1: off season in terms of building his team back, you
12:33
Speaker 1: have to make sure that you build an offense with
12:36
Speaker 1: enough high end personnel to allow the quarterback to function
12:39
Speaker 1: at a level that will allow us to judge whether
12:42
Speaker 1: he is legit or not. Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks
12:46
Speaker 1: is brought to you by Fields Cadillac of Jacksonville and
12:49
Speaker 1: Fields Cadillacs St. Augustine, members of the Fields Auto Group.
12:52
Speaker 1: Planning ahead, we'll hear from Josh Allen coming up, Jaguars
12:55
Speaker 1: defensiveen and outside linebacker, the discussion of Zack Wilson and
12:59
Speaker 1: the Jets. Moving ahead, your social questions, and it's Huddle
13:03
Speaker 1: Up with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network. I
13:12
Speaker 1: saw you here, uh so I'm not gonna sit up
13:14
Speaker 1: here line and tell you that. You know, I don't
13:17
Speaker 1: hear it. You know I don't think about it, but
13:20
Speaker 1: uh for me, for the best for me and the
13:22
Speaker 1: best for the team. That's really focused on this week,
13:25
Speaker 1: you know, focus on next week and the focus on
13:27
Speaker 1: finishing to see the song Uh finishing it's Steven healthy
13:30
Speaker 1: and UH pray everything works out and everything falls and
13:35
Speaker 1: because we need something great. Uh And I say thinking
13:39
Speaker 1: to see like we have the players and you know
13:42
Speaker 1: we just need you don't say we just need to
13:44
Speaker 1: grow the vine man. I feel like we're we're gonna
13:47
Speaker 1: get there one day. But for right now, we're gonna
13:49
Speaker 1: focus on this week and bas the strong that's Josh
13:53
Speaker 1: Allen of course defensive in and outside linebacker earlier today
13:56
Speaker 1: and welcome back and tiddled up with Bucky Brooks, jap
13:59
Speaker 1: Shadrick john O. Sure the Jaguars face the New York Jets.
14:02
Speaker 1: Josh Allen on the injury report again this week with
14:05
Speaker 1: that same shoulder issue. Limited in practice today. He did
14:09
Speaker 1: not start this past game. Playing about of the snaps
14:13
Speaker 1: last week. We'll see what the focus is moving forward
14:17
Speaker 1: in that regard on defense. Josh Allen, though the last
14:20
Speaker 1: few weeks we had that tin tackle game about a
14:22
Speaker 1: month ago. Since then, John just hasn't really been able
14:26
Speaker 1: to collect those statistics at least. Well, there's a couple
14:28
Speaker 1: of things that play here. Shoulder injury, I'm sure hampered
14:32
Speaker 1: him at times. Again, he is a edge defender, disruptive player.
14:40
Speaker 1: When you are behind all the time, as this team
14:43
Speaker 1: has been behind an unbelievable amount of time this season.
14:47
Speaker 1: They haven't led in six weeks. It's more difficult for
14:50
Speaker 1: those kind of players to make impact When the other
14:53
Speaker 1: team knows when it can throw and throws me at
14:57
Speaker 1: once too. It's severely limits opportunity for edge rushers to
15:01
Speaker 1: get home. Also, since he had those big games, other
15:05
Speaker 1: teams obviously know that he is capable of that. He's
15:09
Speaker 1: the one player in this defense who can disrupt you
15:11
Speaker 1: and beat you by himself. I mean, he's aggerating that
15:14
Speaker 1: he's he's he's the one player. Is that kind of guy,
15:16
Speaker 1: So teams do what they can to take him away. Bucky, Yeah,
15:20
Speaker 1: I think John. You you talked about it like when
15:22
Speaker 1: you're an edge rushing you earned the right to be
15:24
Speaker 1: able to rush the passer, and the way that you
15:27
Speaker 1: do it is by being in front of the opponent
15:29
Speaker 1: having the chase points. Well, when the Jaguars are always behind,
15:33
Speaker 1: you don't get an opportunity to really get after it.
15:35
Speaker 1: Where the quarterback is having a dollar up, you can
15:37
Speaker 1: getting your track stance and go hunt the quarterback. And
15:40
Speaker 1: so it's tough. And unless the defense is playing at
15:45
Speaker 1: a level where they're winning on first and second down
15:47
Speaker 1: and forcing these third and long situations, Josh Allen is
15:50
Speaker 1: gonna be null and void as a pass rusher, and
15:52
Speaker 1: so we have to kind of evaluate him a little differently.
15:55
Speaker 1: We have to evaluate him on his effort and how
15:57
Speaker 1: he's playing against the run, and then the occasional splash
16:00
Speaker 1: lays that he's uh making, we have to kind of
16:03
Speaker 1: give them like extra credit because he's not having many opportunities.
16:07
Speaker 1: And that's what's hard about evaluating an all star caliber
16:11
Speaker 1: player on a team that's not very good right now.
16:14
Speaker 1: If you think about the the last times you really
16:18
Speaker 1: noticed him against Miami, a competitive game when the Dolphins
16:23
Speaker 1: were not able to sort of dictate when they wanted
16:25
Speaker 1: to do things. The Bills, who really couldn't run that day,
16:30
Speaker 1: so j was knew they were going to pass, and
16:33
Speaker 1: the Bills game, frankly has been the last time they've
16:35
Speaker 1: had a team in a situation where the other team
16:39
Speaker 1: had to throw off schedule or whatever that word is.
16:43
Speaker 1: The Bills had to throw in situations where they didn't
16:46
Speaker 1: want to, and Josh Allen dominated that game well. I
16:50
Speaker 1: covered Dwight Freen and Robert Mathis for years. Most of
16:53
Speaker 1: their big damage was done at the end of halfs,
16:56
Speaker 1: at the end of games when they knew the other
16:58
Speaker 1: team had to throw, and they were in situations where
17:01
Speaker 1: they could just go get the pastor that's where guys
17:03
Speaker 1: like that thrive. So Bucky the New York Jets speaking
17:09
Speaker 1: of their offense, all these names on the list now
17:12
Speaker 1: and everything, this might obviously change the answer. But what
17:15
Speaker 1: do they do on offense? What is there? What is
17:18
Speaker 1: their bread and butter? Do they have one right now? Uh?
17:22
Speaker 1: This is a team that is built stylistically like to
17:24
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners. They want to play that way. Uh.
17:27
Speaker 1: When you look at the Fleur, who's the offensive coordinator,
17:29
Speaker 1: younger brother mad La Fleur up in Green Bay. He
17:32
Speaker 1: wants to run the same system that we've seen in
17:34
Speaker 1: Green Bay and the Rams and the forty. So it's
17:37
Speaker 1: an outside zone based running game where they handed and
17:40
Speaker 1: try and get to the edges. They have a complimentary
17:42
Speaker 1: play action package where they try and set up these
17:45
Speaker 1: misdirection shot plays where they throw it down the field
17:48
Speaker 1: and across the field and really stretch your defense and
17:51
Speaker 1: test discipline of your second level defenders. That's what they
17:55
Speaker 1: want to do. Now. They haven't been able to do
17:57
Speaker 1: it a ton because they've been down, they haven't had
18:00
Speaker 1: the execution, But in a perfect world, they want to
18:03
Speaker 1: be able to run it and then come and play
18:05
Speaker 1: bootlegs and play action right off of it. So there
18:08
Speaker 1: you go. And of course, yeah, Zack Wilson at the
18:11
Speaker 1: controls missed some games earlier this year with a knee issue,
18:14
Speaker 1: but back and that's obviously the matchup to watch this week.
18:19
Speaker 1: Everybody will talk about it, at least Wilson versus Trevor Lawrence. Defensively,
18:23
Speaker 1: c J. Mosley is back there. He's the leading tackler
18:26
Speaker 1: on the team, four time Pro bowler. With the Ravens
18:28
Speaker 1: now over the Jets, you got the Williams brothers, Quincy
18:31
Speaker 1: at linebacker, former Jaguar Quinn and up front, it's just
18:35
Speaker 1: a matter of who's up and available. I think on
18:37
Speaker 1: defense for them. Yeah, it is who's up and available,
18:42
Speaker 1: Robert Solace. Game is is pretty simple. Uh, they want
18:46
Speaker 1: to kind of sea ball, get ball. They want to hit,
18:48
Speaker 1: run and cover, do all those things. Don't bring a
18:50
Speaker 1: lot of pressure and not really trying to bliss a ton.
18:52
Speaker 1: They want to rely on the front four to make
18:54
Speaker 1: it happen. Play coverage, keep the ball in front, and
18:57
Speaker 1: see if they can kind of wear you out being
19:00
Speaker 1: more disciplined in detail than you. And and so this
19:03
Speaker 1: would be necessarily a tough game for Trevor in terms
19:06
Speaker 1: of diagnosing what they're doing. Is more so an execution game, Kenny,
19:10
Speaker 1: execute against the team that just playing simplistic coverage because
19:14
Speaker 1: it gives their players the best opportunity to execute at
19:16
Speaker 1: a high level as well. Or turn and some social
19:20
Speaker 1: media questions that a busy week or so I guess
19:24
Speaker 1: year on social media from Jaguars, Right, we'll get a
19:28
Speaker 1: couple of those, and then a little later our final
19:30
Speaker 1: thoughts ahead of the Jaguars and the Jets. This is
19:32
Speaker 1: huddled up with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network. Yeah,
19:41
Speaker 1: I mean, Charlie have a great relationship. Um really ever
19:43
Speaker 1: since I've gotten here. Um, we've built. We've built great
19:47
Speaker 1: rapport and uh, that's you know, obviously that's exciting and
19:50
Speaker 1: just I guess going forward is there's a lot of
19:53
Speaker 1: communication in our room. So throughout the season, every every week,
19:56
Speaker 1: there's a kind of communications. I know, he has a
19:58
Speaker 1: good feel for, um, things that I like, things that
20:01
Speaker 1: I'm good at. So I'm really confident and what he
20:03
Speaker 1: brings to the table and I'm excited for it. I
20:05
Speaker 1: feel like we've got a really good start today. Um.
20:08
Speaker 1: But yeah, I just think that's a That's a cool
20:10
Speaker 1: thing is that you know, we sit in meetings all
20:12
Speaker 1: day and we watch tape and we would you know,
20:14
Speaker 1: watch the practice so over the installed and we just
20:17
Speaker 1: have constant conversation, which is which is nice. So that'll
20:20
Speaker 1: be it'll be cool. That's Trevor Lawrence of course, Jaguars
20:24
Speaker 1: quarterback earlier today and welcome back and huddle up with
20:26
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks, JP, Shadrick, John Osier, the Jaguars and the
20:30
Speaker 1: Jets coming up social media questions in a moment, Yes, John, Hello,
20:34
Speaker 1: I have a question for the scout this time. Oh yes, Schottenheimer,
20:39
Speaker 1: Bucky tell me how he might influence things? What might
20:45
Speaker 1: we see different. Uh, you know, like it. It would
20:49
Speaker 1: be tough to do a lot of different stuff. But
20:50
Speaker 1: anytime you have a different play caller, the game and
20:53
Speaker 1: the rhythm changes because everyone kind of sees the game differently,
20:56
Speaker 1: and so it may be the same place, but he
20:58
Speaker 1: calls them in a different sequence. Also, his relationship with
21:01
Speaker 1: the quarterback in terms of like they've been in the
21:05
Speaker 1: quarterback room the entire year since offseason workouts, training camp
21:08
Speaker 1: or whatever, Like they've built a report, So may it
21:11
Speaker 1: becomes more of a little cooperation and a partnership in
21:14
Speaker 1: terms of a Trevor, what are you like, what are
21:15
Speaker 1: some of the top plays that you feel most comfortable
21:18
Speaker 1: and executing? All right, well, here's what I'm gonna do.
21:20
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take those five or six plays and I'm
21:23
Speaker 1: just going to change the window dressing around it. I'm
21:25
Speaker 1: a shift, I'm a motion. I'm gonna do that. But
21:27
Speaker 1: we're gonna run these five or six plays over and
21:30
Speaker 1: over and over again so you feel comfortable. Uh, it
21:32
Speaker 1: might it might be some of that. But his original
21:34
Speaker 1: background is he's a West Coast guy. Um, he wants
21:37
Speaker 1: to run the pure West Coast offense. He wants to
21:40
Speaker 1: find a way to shift and maneuver and move the defense,
21:43
Speaker 1: and they want to hit you with a bunch of
21:44
Speaker 1: short passes and a lot of playmakers on the outside
21:47
Speaker 1: to catch and run and make things happen. I don't
21:49
Speaker 1: know if he's afforded that opportunity to fully go all
21:52
Speaker 1: the way in, but I'm sure he will put his
21:54
Speaker 1: own touches on whatever they've been doing this season. Let's
21:57
Speaker 1: get to social questions. So we put out the bat
22:00
Speaker 1: signal on Twitter earlier the day. Here's the best we've
22:03
Speaker 1: come up with this afternoon on huddle up with Bucky
22:06
Speaker 1: Brooks at Carnival Thomas. Has anyone had the number one
22:09
Speaker 1: draft pick three years in a row. I don't think so. No, no, no.
22:14
Speaker 1: I can tell you not. A few have done it twice.
22:16
Speaker 1: I can give you the breakdown on this. Tampa did
22:18
Speaker 1: it twice seventy seventy seven and eighties six eighty seven. Uh.
22:23
Speaker 1: The Cleveland Browns did it in their expansion year back
22:26
Speaker 1: in the league, and then they did it a couple
22:29
Speaker 1: of years back. I think it was sixteen seventeen. Yeah,
22:34
Speaker 1: the Colts had it nine two, and then again Cowboys
22:39
Speaker 1: once had it two of three years. Uh. There's another
22:42
Speaker 1: team that had it two of three years at some point.
22:44
Speaker 1: So it's I mean, this is not the company you
22:47
Speaker 1: want to keep. So uh, that's the reality. But those
22:52
Speaker 1: lists also show you you can you can get out
22:55
Speaker 1: of it. You know, it takes a build, it takes
22:58
Speaker 1: doing doing things the right way, but being here does
23:03
Speaker 1: not mean you can't get there, Bucky, No, I mean
23:07
Speaker 1: look selfish to you. I would say, like, I'm okay
23:09
Speaker 1: with being here because if you're gonna be bad, you
23:10
Speaker 1: want to be all the way bad. So you get
23:12
Speaker 1: the benefits of it. And it's not only having the
23:14
Speaker 1: first pick in the first round, is having the first
23:16
Speaker 1: pick in all of the rounds thereafter. So it gives
23:19
Speaker 1: you an opportunity to double up and get some playmakers
23:22
Speaker 1: and get some people with some vital pieces that are needed.
23:25
Speaker 1: And so look, if if I had my brothers, look,
23:28
Speaker 1: I want us to play really well, play hard, but
23:30
Speaker 1: if we somehow fall short in the next three weeks,
23:32
Speaker 1: then I'm okay with it. Take advantage. It'll hurt, but
23:39
Speaker 1: not that bad yet. It is softened the blow because
23:45
Speaker 1: there's some good players this year and because of Jaguards
23:47
Speaker 1: aren't need of a quarterback. Is a really good class.
23:49
Speaker 1: They're a bunch of UM pass rushers and offense some
23:53
Speaker 1: linemen that are available that can be difference makers, and
23:56
Speaker 1: so it's a great opportunity to fortify some positions that
24:00
Speaker 1: are look positions of need, and so that's what it is.
24:03
Speaker 1: The only place I would say I would stay away from.
24:05
Speaker 1: I would not take a wide receiver at the top
24:07
Speaker 1: of the first round. But outside of that. Carl one
24:15
Speaker 1: more social media question today. This is from a Free
24:19
Speaker 1: State f L A. Is there a jugs machine used
24:21
Speaker 1: by the players each day? Well, I think this is
24:24
Speaker 1: referring to the drops bucky five of them. I think
24:28
Speaker 1: Bevill said the other day last week. I mean, yes, yes,
24:33
Speaker 1: there is. Yes, yes there is is the answer, and
24:37
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's what this person is referring to. Yeah,
24:41
Speaker 1: I mean it's tough when you have so many draws,
24:43
Speaker 1: but I think everyone should be on the jugs machine. Offense, defense,
24:46
Speaker 1: everybody needs to catch the ball because um, look, the
24:50
Speaker 1: wire season need to catch it and make plays, but
24:52
Speaker 1: the linebackers in DBS, they need to catch it and
24:54
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to turn it over. With the turnover
24:57
Speaker 1: factor to turnover battle being the biggest decided who wins
25:00
Speaker 1: and loses the game. Yeah, we need to do it.
25:02
Speaker 1: But for the wide receivers, absolutely, they need to go
25:05
Speaker 1: on the jokes twice a day. Um, they should have
25:07
Speaker 1: it all the time. Give them all the football so
25:09
Speaker 1: they can go home and they can sleep with them.
25:11
Speaker 1: But they need to catch the ball better and this
25:12
Speaker 1: game than they did the previous week for sure. They Okay,
25:18
Speaker 1: don't know that cracked me up so much. We'll take
25:23
Speaker 1: our final time out. We'll come back our final thoughts
25:25
Speaker 1: before The Jaguars faced the New York Jets in Week
25:29
Speaker 1: sixteen and it huddle up with Bucky Brooks on the
25:31
Speaker 1: Jaguars Digital Network Welcome back gets huddle up with Bucky Brooks, JP, Shadrick,
25:37
Speaker 1: John Osier and the Jaguars face the New York Jets
25:40
Speaker 1: this coming Sunday. And uh, you know, the names keep
25:44
Speaker 1: rolling in for the New York Jets. As we went
25:46
Speaker 1: on the other one with fifteen names on the COVID list, John,
25:49
Speaker 1: you saw a couple more have popped on there now.
25:51
Speaker 1: I mean they keep adding names to the list of
25:54
Speaker 1: New York and fields. Yeah three more. Uh, Safety Ashton Davis.
25:59
Speaker 1: For a second, I thought it was as in Solivan
26:00
Speaker 1: I didn't because that she missed making better many times
26:02
Speaker 1: here defensive tackle John Marshall and tight end Kenny. I mean,
26:08
Speaker 1: they're at eighteen plus the head coach. So it's it's
26:12
Speaker 1: something that's it's something to watch. We're living right now, unfortunately,
26:16
Speaker 1: something to watch. Yeah, look, I mean, I mean it's
26:18
Speaker 1: gonna be a shorthanded team. And so how did the
26:21
Speaker 1: Jaguars take advantage of the Jets not necessarily have any
26:23
Speaker 1: full squad that would be interested to see? Does that
26:26
Speaker 1: mean that all of a sudden, Brian Schottenhammer and the
26:28
Speaker 1: offense decided to go up tempo to maybe take advantage
26:31
Speaker 1: of some of the lack of depth that the Jets
26:33
Speaker 1: may have for a game? Uh, do you uh do
26:36
Speaker 1: things differently on defense to try and test the backups
26:39
Speaker 1: that are now thrust in the prominent roles. Maybe all
26:41
Speaker 1: that's out there and available, but it was available last week,
26:44
Speaker 1: so we just see how it works out. That's right.
26:47
Speaker 1: And by the way, if Robert Sala is not coaching,
26:50
Speaker 1: and I think he could probably technically still come back
26:53
Speaker 1: by game time. If you can't, Ron Middleton would take
26:56
Speaker 1: over as the head coach of the Jets former Jaguars coach.
27:04
Speaker 1: I'd like to see him get the opportunity goes, I
27:07
Speaker 1: like personally because I mean I don't want Robert to
27:10
Speaker 1: be there anything wrong, right, Uh yeah, good for Yeah,
27:13
Speaker 1: So we'll see. That's obviously a storyline to follow. Moving ahead,
27:17
Speaker 1: there's some Texans now that have been added to the
27:19
Speaker 1: list since the game on Sunday. All that's going on now, Uh,
27:23
Speaker 1: there's a lot happening there. Unfortunately. Well, um, there's there's
27:27
Speaker 1: one added to the list here today. Travis E. T
27:29
Speaker 1: N was added to the COVID nineteen list here for
27:31
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, the first one in a while for the
27:34
Speaker 1: Jags in fact. So, um, there you have it, Bucky, Um,
27:38
Speaker 1: have a great holiday, man. Good to always talk ball
27:41
Speaker 1: with you. We will talk to you on Boxing Day Sunday. Yeah,
27:45
Speaker 1: let's do that. I wonder if there can be some
27:47
Speaker 1: little Jaguars victories under my tree. I'm gonna go and
27:50
Speaker 1: look and see if I can find some of those
27:52
Speaker 1: under tree or maybe in my stock and maybe stocking
27:54
Speaker 1: stuff for standing left some some Jaguars wins. Hopefully, move
27:58
Speaker 1: the cold the lump of coal the way first, and
28:01
Speaker 1: then you can get down to the let's take all
28:04
Speaker 1: the way down into the stocking and find it. But
28:07
Speaker 1: if not, if I don't get the victories, then I
28:10
Speaker 1: certainly will be okay with the number one pig just
28:13
Speaker 1: kind of dangling right up onto the ornaments. You know
28:15
Speaker 1: it's one you missed, like under the trick. Yeah, I
28:19
Speaker 1: like Bucky. Merry Christmas, buddy, We'll talk to you. You
28:23
Speaker 1: guys have fun. Bucky Brooks out of here. Joe Fortunado
28:26
Speaker 1: on the audio, Brent Reaverer on the video. That's John Osier.
28:30
Speaker 1: I'm j P. Shadrick. Will catch you next time. It's
28:31
Speaker 1: huddle Up with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network
