- 0:01Speaker 1: This is the Huddle Up Podcast with JP Shadrick, Bucky Brooks,
- 0:05Speaker 1: and John Osher. The Huddle Up Podcast starts right now.
- 0:11Speaker 1: Welcome into the Huddle Up Podcast. Today is Wednesday, marcht
- 0:15Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick, John Osier, and NFL network analysts Bucky Brooks.
- 0:20Speaker 1: We have reaction from the NFL annual meeting in Palm Beach,
- 0:23Speaker 1: including Jaguars owner Shot Cohn and head coach Doug Peterson.
- 0:27Speaker 1: And a little later, the Jaguars and made another signing
- 0:29Speaker 1: in free agency on the defensive line. That's all coming
- 0:33Speaker 1: up in just a moment. Bucky, Good morning, afternoon, whatever
- 0:37Speaker 1: time you're listening to this podcast. How are you, man,
- 0:40Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm good. How you guys doing. We're hanging in.
- 0:42Speaker 1: John is back. He's got a nice fresh sun tan
- 0:44Speaker 1: from Palm Beach. Why I don't like the rule? You
- 0:48Speaker 1: don't like the overtime rum you were tweeting about that?
- 0:52Speaker 1: I heard you were you writing about that. I just
- 0:57Speaker 1: hates the wrong words because it's I mean, in the
- 1:00Speaker 1: game will still get decided. But to me, I keep
- 1:04Speaker 1: going back to this and again I get that I'm
- 1:06Speaker 1: the old man. I'm becoming crotching my old age. But
- 1:09Speaker 1: is it not fair to think that an NFL defense
- 1:14Speaker 1: should have a better than of stopping an NFL offense?
- 1:18Speaker 1: Why do we assume that a defense can't keep the
- 1:23Speaker 1: opposing team out of the end zone off of a
- 1:25Speaker 1: kickoff and they can't force him not to score with
- 1:28Speaker 1: a seventy mean sn yard field. I got an email
- 1:32Speaker 1: today from somebody's haying, well, the Bills lost that playoff
- 1:37Speaker 1: game because of a coin flip, then lost because the
- 1:39Speaker 1: defense couldn't stop the g outscore him in tow and
- 1:44Speaker 1: it kept saying, everybody keeps emailing me about this. Well,
- 1:48Speaker 1: Josh Allen should have had a chance against Patrick Mahomes.
- 1:51Speaker 1: It's the entire team play. And if we've gone so
- 1:55Speaker 1: far that that can't be done, then we're then the
- 1:59Speaker 1: rules favor the offense too much. Bucky, we're off and
- 2:01Speaker 1: running today with soapbox here. So what is your opinion?
- 2:06Speaker 1: What's next? You gotta have three possessions, got a four,
- 2:10Speaker 1: let's shout, let's just play another game. But well, a
- 2:13Speaker 1: stratt of offense, a stradd of offense on like, hey,
- 2:16Speaker 1: you have to do it. It's um the defenses that
- 2:19Speaker 1: are disadvantaged because typically if the team rallies back and
- 2:23Speaker 1: scores at the end of regulation, they win the coin flip.
- 2:26Speaker 1: That defense has been under sure little gas, but I
- 2:29Speaker 1: think it does add a little entry two the post
- 2:33Speaker 1: season because now and overtime when you get it, if
- 2:36Speaker 1: you score, you have to make a decision of whether
- 2:38Speaker 1: to go for two or are you going to take
- 2:42Speaker 1: the p A T and then let the other team
- 2:45Speaker 1: determine whether you go home or not, because more than
- 2:47Speaker 1: likely if I score as the second team, I'm gonna
- 2:50Speaker 1: go for two and I'm gonna win the game. So
- 2:52Speaker 1: I think it puts a little entries more so on
- 2:54Speaker 1: the two point conversion more so than anything else. Yeah,
- 2:56Speaker 1: or if you know, if you're not confident for some
- 2:59Speaker 1: reason on your two point player, you can tie it.
- 3:01Speaker 1: They're not gonna They're gonna go to another overtime if
- 3:03Speaker 1: you've got a time after two possessions, right, I mean, well,
- 3:07Speaker 1: with Bucky's point is if you kick, if the first
- 3:09Speaker 1: team kicks yes at seven and you have momentum, that
- 3:12Speaker 1: second team is probably gonna go for to and try
- 3:14Speaker 1: to end it. Yes, So that's why the first team
- 3:16Speaker 1: should go ahead and go for two and put him
- 3:18Speaker 1: out their misery. I just I get you can't stop
- 3:22Speaker 1: the ball rolling down the hill. That it's an entirely
- 3:24Speaker 1: quarterback offensive league, and it always has been. I get it,
- 3:27Speaker 1: But I always like sling it, throw it, Yes, sling it.
- 3:34Speaker 1: But if the rules are such that it is impossible,
- 3:37Speaker 1: because that's basically what fans are staying with this. Oh,
- 3:39Speaker 1: it's impossible for the it's impossible for one of the
- 3:43Speaker 1: other playoff games. Right, Well, then the defense make a
- 3:46Speaker 1: stop in an overtime game? Well the postseason? Am I
- 3:49Speaker 1: crazy something? I feel what team it was actually made
- 3:52Speaker 1: a stop? I just the defense is allowed to get
- 3:56Speaker 1: the other team off the field at some point. So
- 3:59Speaker 1: that's that an angry buck. I saw one suggestion, maybe
- 4:02Speaker 1: they should just go like soccer and do you know
- 4:04Speaker 1: fifty yard field goals as the well the kick. They've
- 4:08Speaker 1: always been in a bind on this because people making
- 4:12Speaker 1: the rules are always concerned about length. They don't want
- 4:16Speaker 1: a length in the game. Length in the game, length
- 4:19Speaker 1: in the game because that's when injuries happen and everybody
- 4:22Speaker 1: wants fewer plays. So here you are, you're adding plays.
- 4:26Speaker 1: So it's it's uh, I figured they would cave. I
- 4:29Speaker 1: didn't figure they would cave this quickly. I thought it
- 4:31Speaker 1: might take a year. But um, in this day and age,
- 4:34Speaker 1: stuff gets done quickly. I'm not sure it's always to
- 4:36Speaker 1: do maybe that the same thing, but remember when oh,
- 4:39Speaker 1: we gotta change the over, we gotta change the interference rule.
- 4:41Speaker 1: We got change the interference rule, and they did it,
- 4:44Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it's like, after one year,
- 4:46Speaker 1: you know it. Well, all right, so it's and it's
- 4:50Speaker 1: postseason only at least to begin with how many games?
- 4:54Speaker 1: Who knows what happens. Let's move forward though. Now. You
- 4:58Speaker 1: had an interview with Jaguar owner shot Com this week
- 5:01Speaker 1: down at the Poem Beach at the Breakers, and you
- 5:04Speaker 1: wrapped up that interview on Jaguars dot com with this,
- 5:08Speaker 1: you've seen fired up about what's going on now. And
- 5:11Speaker 1: I know you always are your positive first, and but
- 5:13Speaker 1: there I've seen something different about the way you feel
- 5:15Speaker 1: about this going forward. Yeah. You know, it's like something
- 5:18Speaker 1: you're kind of feeling in your bones. Uh. And it's
- 5:22Speaker 1: like a feeling certainly I haven't had. Okay, I think
- 5:28Speaker 1: the collective thinking and the whole the big picture. Uh.
- 5:33Speaker 1: And then the vibe, you know, the level of confidence,
- 5:38Speaker 1: the level of experience with the coaches. You know, I've
- 5:41Speaker 1: worked in environments, you know, primarily factories, offices where there
- 5:45Speaker 1: were no walls and you know you're all sitting together. Um,
- 5:49Speaker 1: you know, we've had the structure obviously in the performance center,
- 5:53Speaker 1: we're gonna have, you know, basically visual control you can
- 5:57Speaker 1: see who is. But I did that right after we
- 6:01Speaker 1: you know, uh, we got to Jacksonville where we could
- 6:04Speaker 1: to eliminate that we wanted to see, but visual control.
- 6:08Speaker 1: And you know, I love that now with coaches that
- 6:11Speaker 1: you walk in the hallway, people are standing talking, drawing
- 6:15Speaker 1: plays and the collaboration. Uh, you know, so early in
- 6:19Speaker 1: the season, it's really great to see. I asked you
- 6:22Speaker 1: this on a show on Monday. Oh what was your
- 6:25Speaker 1: other big takeaway from Mr conn Well, I think the
- 6:28Speaker 1: big takeaway that clearly he wanted to discuss most of
- 6:31Speaker 1: all was the collaborative nature and the vibe of the building,
- 6:35Speaker 1: which everybody who followed the jag Wars has heard about.
- 6:37Speaker 1: You know, it's a good feeling. With Doug Peterson. He
- 6:40Speaker 1: talked about the professionalism of Doug Peterson. He talked a
- 6:43Speaker 1: lot about Doug Peterson was on the radar as I
- 6:50Speaker 1: don't say throughout the Urban Meyer, but once that ended,
- 6:55Speaker 1: it was clear from talking to Shot that Doug was
- 6:58Speaker 1: a a strong possibility from the beginning. I don't say
- 7:02Speaker 1: he was the favorite throughout, but uh, it does feel
- 7:06Speaker 1: like it all circled back and that for Shod that
- 7:08Speaker 1: felt very logical after how he felt about Doug Peterson.
- 7:12Speaker 1: He mentioned having met him at the owners meeting before,
- 7:14Speaker 1: he had known him for a while, so the comfort
- 7:17Speaker 1: level there, and uh, you know, just the fact that
- 7:22Speaker 1: he really looks at it as a uh in his words,
- 7:26Speaker 1: maybe for the first time or the most since he's
- 7:28Speaker 1: been here, the most collaborative process between everybody involved. That
- 7:32Speaker 1: certainly was his theme. Good start, bucket, sounds like right now.
- 7:36Speaker 1: The question is moving it forward, getting to the draft,
- 7:40Speaker 1: getting to the offseason program, getting to the season, that's
- 7:43Speaker 1: when we'll really find out. Yeah, I think it's a
- 7:46Speaker 1: really good start. And I'll say this, having known Doug
- 7:49Speaker 1: for a long time, having played with Doug, doing a
- 7:52Speaker 1: time together in Green Bay, and also having known a
- 7:55Speaker 1: lot of the mentors that he's had, UM, this is
- 7:58Speaker 1: what I would expect it to. He like um having
- 8:01Speaker 1: played and having played and worked under Andy Reid, a
- 8:07Speaker 1: lot of the stuff that Doug is doing are things
- 8:10Speaker 1: that were done in those walls with those teams, having
- 8:13Speaker 1: known both of those guys, and so I'm not surprised
- 8:16Speaker 1: that it's a collaboration where you're seeing guys have better
- 8:19Speaker 1: communication um front office, the coaching staff, coaching staff, the players,
- 8:25Speaker 1: coaches and front office members to maybe people around the
- 8:29Speaker 1: building that maybe on the other side of the aisle
- 8:31Speaker 1: um look man football as much as it is in
- 8:34Speaker 1: a tactical game, it's about relationships. It's about building bonds
- 8:38Speaker 1: where the players trust that you have their best interests
- 8:41Speaker 1: at heart, and there's an commitment and accountability that comes
- 8:45Speaker 1: along with building that. And what you're seeing is Doug
- 8:49Speaker 1: trying to build those bonds in the building. So everybody
- 8:52Speaker 1: feels good, it feels good about the direction of the program,
- 8:56Speaker 1: and I think you can sense it because that's who
- 8:58Speaker 1: he is naturally. But all so think that's part of
- 9:00Speaker 1: the team building process. I've said this for a long time.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Before we the Jacks can win on the field, everything
- 9:08Speaker 1: behind the scenes has to be right and connected, and
- 9:11Speaker 1: I feel like from the outside end that you're beginning
- 9:14Speaker 1: to see some of the connectivity that's necessary to be
- 9:16Speaker 1: a championship team, you know, to make that collaborative process
- 9:19Speaker 1: absolutely beautiful. JP. If Trevor is good, that helps, it
- 9:24Speaker 1: certainly does help, then there'll be more collaborations. Take a
- 9:27Speaker 1: stick out. Yeah, everybody, it's uh kumbaya. Yes. And I
- 9:31Speaker 1: don't know if you, uh you heard or read the
- 9:33Speaker 1: story that I wrote from Doug Peterson's availability on Monday, JP.
- 9:37Speaker 1: I think you did read it, because that's my job,
- 9:40Speaker 1: because you have to um. But he talked. I thought
- 9:43Speaker 1: he moved the story forward a little bit bucky when
- 9:46Speaker 1: he talked about how much he likes how accurate Trevor
- 9:49Speaker 1: is in play action, how accurate is outside the pocket.
- 9:52Speaker 1: He talked a lot about Trevor's ability in the quarterback
- 9:56Speaker 1: movement game. It seems sort of logical that that's how
- 9:59Speaker 1: he we'd use Trevor. But it was the first time
- 10:02Speaker 1: that I heard Doug talk about that after really diving
- 10:05Speaker 1: into what Trevor can do well. I'm assuming he spent
- 10:08Speaker 1: a lot of time watching Trevor on film and since
- 10:10Speaker 1: February six, and uh, it sounds to me like he
- 10:13Speaker 1: certainly believes that movement and that element of Trevor's game
- 10:17Speaker 1: is gonna be a huge part of it. Is one
- 10:19Speaker 1: of those things that I think we all have seen
- 10:21Speaker 1: Trevor flash and do those things we all kind of
- 10:25Speaker 1: wanted to see a little more. That is rookie season.
- 10:28Speaker 1: For whatever reason, some of that stuff wasn't done. But
- 10:31Speaker 1: the easiest way to help a young quarterback is to
- 10:34Speaker 1: use play action and what I'll say bootlegs or movement.
- 10:38Speaker 1: Play action where you're faking the ball one way, you're
- 10:40Speaker 1: coming out the back door. It allows you to not
- 10:43Speaker 1: only move the defense with deception, but you also cut
- 10:46Speaker 1: the field and I have to make the reeds easier
- 10:49Speaker 1: for the quarterback to see clearly where the ball should go.
- 10:53Speaker 1: And annoying Doug Peterson's work with quarterback because he's been
- 10:58Speaker 1: able to get every quarterback up and running, Nick Foles,
- 11:01Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, even Jalen Hurst. What he has always done
- 11:05Speaker 1: a really good job of is digging deep into their
- 11:07Speaker 1: backgrounds to see what they did really well and building
- 11:11Speaker 1: the plan from those elements. And so when we go
- 11:15Speaker 1: back and look at what Trevor did well at Clemson,
- 11:17Speaker 1: he could move, he could run, he could do a
- 11:19Speaker 1: lot of those things. When now you add that to
- 11:22Speaker 1: what are some basic concept that having you throughout the
- 11:26Speaker 1: years in the pros, the basic bootleg passing game and
- 11:29Speaker 1: all that other stuff. Yeah, it's easier to be able
- 11:31Speaker 1: to package where he should be able to be efficient
- 11:34Speaker 1: while steadily evolving from game manager to playmaker at the position.
- 11:39Speaker 1: Also study like the way through the deep ball and
- 11:42Speaker 1: the seam routes and all that kind of stuff. So
- 11:45Speaker 1: we'll see how all that comes together once they get
- 11:47Speaker 1: out on the grass in the preseason and especially in
- 11:50Speaker 1: the regular season. It starts up front, though, there was
- 11:53Speaker 1: a lot of talk this week at the owners meetings
- 11:55Speaker 1: about the offensive line Cam Robinson at left tackle. Of course,
- 11:59Speaker 1: Peterson said they want to work out a long, long
- 12:01Speaker 1: term deal there. That's the hope. Um Brandon Linder retired
- 12:05Speaker 1: in the midst of the press conference earlier this week,
- 12:08Speaker 1: and then the right tackle a question and Peterson asked
- 12:12Speaker 1: this week about Juwan Taylor on the right side of
- 12:14Speaker 1: the offensive line. I think he's another big reason why,
- 12:17Speaker 1: you know, you keep that offensive line, you know, intact,
- 12:20Speaker 1: and you have you got him, Uh, you got Cam,
- 12:24Speaker 1: and then you have Walker Little, who is another guy
- 12:27Speaker 1: that's gonna be able to compete at that tackle spot
- 12:29Speaker 1: and or be able to play both. So you know,
- 12:32Speaker 1: as I said earlier, it's hard to find offensive lineman
- 12:35Speaker 1: in this league. And when you have a couple of
- 12:36Speaker 1: guys on your roster like we do, you try to
- 12:40Speaker 1: keep him, you know, and you try to keep him here.
- 12:42Speaker 1: And uh, I think it's gonna be a really good battle.
- 12:45Speaker 1: I think with with with Juan, with Walker, you know,
- 12:48Speaker 1: at that position, and uh, you know, but I love
- 12:51Speaker 1: everything that that Juwan has done there. There's flashes, there's moments.
- 12:56Speaker 1: We just gotta get more out of the entire group, right,
- 12:59Speaker 1: not just one layer, but get more out of all
- 13:01Speaker 1: those guys, uh, to be able to perform at a
- 13:03Speaker 1: higher level. So that's obviously a huge question mark now
- 13:07Speaker 1: right tackle the battle there? What do you see playing
- 13:10Speaker 1: out Bucky'll get out your crystal ball today? And what
- 13:13Speaker 1: do you see playing out in training camp in the offseason. Well,
- 13:16Speaker 1: a couple of things. It does sound like Dougs been
- 13:18Speaker 1: since here when he sees potential and Juan Taylor, it
- 13:22Speaker 1: also sounds like he wants competition where walk a little
- 13:25Speaker 1: has an opportunity to compete for that. Um, I think
- 13:29Speaker 1: in the perfect world, what you would like to do
- 13:31Speaker 1: if possible is to put the best five that you
- 13:33Speaker 1: have out there. You want the best buyer performers on
- 13:37Speaker 1: the field, and so that's Cam Robinson. We know it's
- 13:40Speaker 1: going to be there, Brandon Shuff is going to be there,
- 13:42Speaker 1: and now you're trying to kind of reshuffle the furniture
- 13:46Speaker 1: to see if guys can get on the field. And
- 13:49Speaker 1: so does that mean that ay Juwan Taylor and walk
- 13:52Speaker 1: a little they can compete at tackle, But can one
- 13:54Speaker 1: of those guys move inside and play guard? Potentially? Can
- 13:57Speaker 1: you do some stuff where he do I like walk
- 14:01Speaker 1: a little over my other options? Um do I like
- 14:04Speaker 1: Ben Bark. They're like, like, how does the entire group look?
- 14:08Speaker 1: Some of that will be experimentation, doing workouts and O
- 14:12Speaker 1: T A s. And some of that is just your
- 14:14Speaker 1: mindset and your thought press up thought process on how
- 14:18Speaker 1: do we want to attack the draft? You know, because
- 14:20Speaker 1: when that quote came out, I haven't heard that. There's
- 14:23Speaker 1: still some questions about with the Jaguars take a tackle
- 14:26Speaker 1: at number one and that stuff, And I still wouldn't
- 14:30Speaker 1: completely rule it out of the realm of possibility. I
- 14:32Speaker 1: think what you wanna do is you've heard him talk
- 14:35Speaker 1: about Trevor Lawrence being an important piece for the team
- 14:38Speaker 1: getting up and going. You want to make sure that
- 14:40Speaker 1: you do everything to give Trevor an opportunity to play
- 14:43Speaker 1: at the high level. Mean a preface this by saying,
- 14:46Speaker 1: I hope that this is Tyler Shatley's job for next
- 14:49Speaker 1: three or four years at center. But I wonder if
- 14:55Speaker 1: at thirty three, I'm all in a receiver at thirty three,
- 15:00Speaker 1: but I wonder what this lender bomb can kids sitting
- 15:03Speaker 1: out there is. And I guess I'm asking Bucky along
- 15:08Speaker 1: with in a question here, do you is there a
- 15:10Speaker 1: scenario where you draft interior lineman, have Shatley start, but
- 15:15Speaker 1: then eventually have this interior alignment started center with Shatley
- 15:20Speaker 1: back to the position that he's been so good at,
- 15:22Speaker 1: which is the swing guy, the reliable guy. I suppose
- 15:25Speaker 1: that's only My guest is that's a question that we'll
- 15:27Speaker 1: talk about leading to the draft and that they won't
- 15:29Speaker 1: be able to answer until they're on the clock because
- 15:31Speaker 1: it will be about the players available. Yeah. Uh, I
- 15:34Speaker 1: think I think you have to understand that everybody's always
- 15:36Speaker 1: influenced by what they had when they were really successful
- 15:39Speaker 1: in the pass um dog Peter said, Jason Kelsey was
- 15:43Speaker 1: one of the best centers UM that we've seen UH
- 15:46Speaker 1: in recent years. And Jason Kelsey was a guy who
- 15:49Speaker 1: was athletic enough to pool from the pivot position, which
- 15:52Speaker 1: is uncommon, and so he understands the value of having
- 15:55Speaker 1: someone who is not only just a guy that's a snapper,
- 15:58Speaker 1: but a guy that is a bit of an impact
- 16:00Speaker 1: player at the line of scrimin I would say that
- 16:02Speaker 1: that center UH interior guard position wide open in terms
- 16:06Speaker 1: of looking and evaluating seeing if you can upgrade. No
- 16:09Speaker 1: disrespect to UM the incumbent who's been elevated, but you're
- 16:13Speaker 1: trying to put together the best offensive line that you
- 16:16Speaker 1: can have because typically if your offensive line is a
- 16:19Speaker 1: top five office in line, your offense kind of correlates
- 16:22Speaker 1: to the way that they perform in the trenches. How
- 16:26Speaker 1: you know, it's funny because I like him a lot.
- 16:27Speaker 1: I think he's a technical marvel. I think he's a
- 16:29Speaker 1: good job because he's will trained, coming from Iowa. He
- 16:32Speaker 1: doesn't have what they call position flex. He's not a guard.
- 16:35Speaker 1: He's just a true center and he's really good at
- 16:39Speaker 1: what he does. And that's okay. If he's your starter. Yeah,
- 16:42Speaker 1: if you can start and play. Yeah, if he can
- 16:44Speaker 1: start and play, like, I don't think it's an issue.
- 16:46Speaker 1: But you know, like at this part of the process,
- 16:49Speaker 1: everyone is it's the beauty pageant, right, I want to
- 16:51Speaker 1: make sure that they can do multiple things or whatever.
- 16:53Speaker 1: But he's the best center. Um. I don't think it's close.
- 16:57Speaker 1: It's tricky though, because it's a bit of a love
- 16:59Speaker 1: hate relationship ship with him. In the scouting community. Some
- 17:01Speaker 1: people love him because he's so refined and he comes
- 17:04Speaker 1: from Iow and Iowa has a great reputation for producing
- 17:07Speaker 1: um office in Lineman, as evidenced by Brennan Shrip. But
- 17:11Speaker 1: you know, some guys are like, yeah, but he's not strong,
- 17:13Speaker 1: and I worry about a big nose being on him
- 17:15Speaker 1: and wilding him back. I don't know. I think sometimes
- 17:18Speaker 1: you overthink the guy has been really good for a
- 17:20Speaker 1: long time in college. If he is available somewhere there,
- 17:23Speaker 1: which might be a bit of a surprise, if he's
- 17:25Speaker 1: there at thirty three, yeah, you have to you have
- 17:27Speaker 1: to take him. I think he's a really good pick.
- 17:29Speaker 1: All right, let's come back in a moment. We'll hear
- 17:31Speaker 1: one more from Doug Peterson on his relationship with defensive
- 17:35Speaker 1: coordinator Mike Caldwell, what the scheme might look like, and
- 17:41Speaker 1: an addition on defense. Earlier today, this is the Huddle
- 17:44Speaker 1: Up Podcast. Welcome back to the Huddle Up Podcast. J

- 18:06Speaker 1: The list goes on and on and on. Visit Daily's
- 18:11Speaker 1: Place dot com. Let's hear one more time from Doug
- 18:14Speaker 1: Peterson at the NFL Annual Meeting, Jaguar's head coach at
- 18:17Speaker 1: his press conference at the a f C Coaches Breakfast
- 18:20Speaker 1: earlier this week, and he discussed his relationship with defensive
- 18:23Speaker 1: coordinator Mike Caldwell and what this thing could look like defensively. Yeah,
- 18:28Speaker 1: Mike and I go way back, Uh, you know as
- 18:31Speaker 1: as as players together. Um, I've always had a lot
- 18:34Speaker 1: of respect for him. You know, we worked together on
- 18:36Speaker 1: coach reads staff, you know, in Philadelphia. Um, you know
- 18:41Speaker 1: I also worked with Todd Bowles, and so when when Todd,
- 18:44Speaker 1: when Todd left, you know, he always he took Mike
- 18:46Speaker 1: with him. As I've always followed Todd and Mike kind
- 18:49Speaker 1: of their defenses weather in New York and Arizona, Tampa Bay, um,
- 18:55Speaker 1: and and always felt like Mike, Mike wuld make a
- 18:58Speaker 1: really good defensive coordinator one day, you know, just giving
- 19:00Speaker 1: an opportunity. And that's that's kind of like when I
- 19:03Speaker 1: was a coordinator. Somebody had to give me an opportunity, right,
- 19:06Speaker 1: And um, he and I gotta have a great relationship.
- 19:10Speaker 1: And uh, I'm just I'm excited to watch him, to
- 19:14Speaker 1: watch him work and called defenses and uh, you know,
- 19:17Speaker 1: go to work this year. We're gonna base it out
- 19:19Speaker 1: of a three four you know, Um, but it's so
- 19:23Speaker 1: multiple in nature. You know the base will be three four,
- 19:26Speaker 1: but you know, teams offenses are playing so much eleven
- 19:30Speaker 1: personnel that you're gonna be informed, you know, four down line,
- 19:34Speaker 1: you know, a four to configuration a lot, So it'll
- 19:37Speaker 1: be multiple in nature that way. All right, So there's
- 19:39Speaker 1: a lot there. Um, guys. Obviously they have a track record,
- 19:43Speaker 1: a history of sorts together three four, But it's hybrid.
- 19:47Speaker 1: We've heard that a time or two. What does that?
- 19:49Speaker 1: What does that actually mean to you, Bucky that what's
- 19:51Speaker 1: this thing is actually gonna look like? It just means that, Uh,
- 19:55Speaker 1: we'll see what they call odd fronts, meaning you'll see
- 19:59Speaker 1: a notice how go right over top of the center.
- 20:01Speaker 1: Uh as some form, you'll see like two additional guys
- 20:05Speaker 1: with their hands in the dirt. Uh. They create a
- 20:07Speaker 1: three man surface, and then you have guys that are
- 20:09Speaker 1: moving around, um like four linebackers per se. But I
- 20:13Speaker 1: think what you talked about n being multiple. It's almost
- 20:16Speaker 1: impossible to be a guy that can just sit in
- 20:17Speaker 1: your base defense all the time. Because Doug Peterson talks
- 20:21Speaker 1: about a loving personnel one back, one tied in three
- 20:24Speaker 1: wide receivers. You have to have nickel personnel in the game,
- 20:27Speaker 1: which is why people consider that nickel player a starter,
- 20:30Speaker 1: because you have twelve starters on defense. Um, it just
- 20:34Speaker 1: means that you have to have a variety of tools
- 20:36Speaker 1: in the toolbox. You have to have personnel that can
- 20:38Speaker 1: fit a bunch of different roles. Because if Mike call
- 20:42Speaker 1: was is anything like tie Bowls, they are going to
- 20:45Speaker 1: start blitzing as soon as the other ponent gets off
- 20:47Speaker 1: the bus, and they're gonna bring They're gonna fix their
- 20:49Speaker 1: issues with pressure. They're gonna come after you. If you
- 20:52Speaker 1: can cover in man, they'll play man if not their
- 20:54Speaker 1: zone dog, but they are going to heat you up,
- 20:57Speaker 1: and they're gonna bring it from a variety of different angles,
- 20:59Speaker 1: and they can put their own us on the quarterback
- 21:01Speaker 1: to figure out where the holes are and to make
- 21:03Speaker 1: accurate throw. And so I think that you will see
- 21:06Speaker 1: a lot of those characteristics come out in the scheme
- 21:10Speaker 1: that he puts together in Jacksmith. Yeah, I actually asked
- 21:14Speaker 1: the question because, um, are you gonna be Well, we've
- 21:20Speaker 1: sort of assumed that it's three four, and the entire
- 21:24Speaker 1: time I've been thinking about it, I'm like, why don't
- 21:26Speaker 1: I even care if it's the three four or four
- 21:27Speaker 1: three or not? Because, as you said, it feels now
- 21:32Speaker 1: when you talk about a three four or four three
- 21:34Speaker 1: defense like you're ten years behind the times, because as
- 21:38Speaker 1: Bucky said, they just don't ever run it. When you're
- 21:40Speaker 1: actually watching the game, do you ever think about it
- 21:42Speaker 1: being a three four or four three? It's not like Madden.
- 21:44Speaker 1: You stay up. Yeah, So it's Uh, I understand the question.
- 21:49Speaker 1: I asked the question because I had been getting the
- 21:51Speaker 1: question a lot from from readers, and I really didn't
- 21:54Speaker 1: have the exact answer that I wanted. Uh, And that
- 21:57Speaker 1: was really and I was really the answer the Bucky game.
- 22:01Speaker 1: There's gonna be so many multiple fronts, there's gonna so
- 22:03Speaker 1: many different situations. You're in nickel. I keep using things,
- 22:07Speaker 1: but you're probably your best defense. You better have a
- 22:12Speaker 1: way to stop the run out of it. And that
- 22:14Speaker 1: better b way to had better be how you play
- 22:16Speaker 1: defense in the NFL. Buck, you said seventy plus. Now, yeah,
- 22:19Speaker 1: it's about seventy percent of time you have some kind
- 22:21Speaker 1: of nickel. And so what we have to also understand
- 22:23Speaker 1: is they are various forms of nickel defenses. So you
- 22:27Speaker 1: have your traditional nickel where you may have three corners, uh,
- 22:30Speaker 1: two safeties, um, you know, on the field. But then
- 22:35Speaker 1: you also have teams that are using three safety looks
- 22:38Speaker 1: in two corners to be able to put a bigger
- 22:41Speaker 1: body that might be more effective against the run kind
- 22:44Speaker 1: of at that linebacker level. Uh, some teams are using
- 22:48Speaker 1: what they call the Odds stack, where it's a three
- 22:50Speaker 1: man front to linebacker six dbs on the field, and
- 22:53Speaker 1: those six d b s may include three safeties to
- 22:56Speaker 1: go with three corners, so you can do a bunch
- 22:58Speaker 1: of different things. When they talk about multiplicity is taking
- 23:02Speaker 1: what you have in the stable of your linebackers, your dbs,
- 23:06Speaker 1: and your d line and saying what's the most effective
- 23:09Speaker 1: unit that we can put on the field in the situation.
- 23:12Speaker 1: And that a lot of it was kind of being
- 23:15Speaker 1: determined now in terms of looking at the tape and
- 23:17Speaker 1: trying to get a projection on what they can play where.
- 23:20Speaker 1: Really we'll see those packages come together once they started
- 23:24Speaker 1: working on the grass and examining, Okay, this player does
- 23:28Speaker 1: have these skills. Yeah, we might be able to build
- 23:30Speaker 1: out some unique sub packages to put all of these
- 23:33Speaker 1: guys on the field so we can attack. I remember
- 23:35Speaker 1: last year, I think it was because of injury to Herndon,
- 23:38Speaker 1: but Rudy Ford was playing some nickel right, came down
- 23:41Speaker 1: from safety. But I think that was because of personnel
- 23:43Speaker 1: and for a time, for an extended period of time
- 23:47Speaker 1: that was there. Uh, that was their best defense. That's
- 23:50Speaker 1: where they went in and they beat Buffalo like they did. Um, Yeah,
- 23:55Speaker 1: they really didn't have a great overall. They didn't have
- 24:00Speaker 1: one week said okay, well that's their best. They're gonna
- 24:01Speaker 1: throw it out because they had issues throughout. That was
- 24:05Speaker 1: done because at some point they needed to get faster
- 24:08Speaker 1: at that nickel spot, and and Ford gave him speed
- 24:11Speaker 1: that they didn't have anywhere else. It's not ideal to
- 24:15Speaker 1: have that. He's had a great color corner necessarily, but
- 24:18Speaker 1: he gave them an element they needed. And as a
- 24:21Speaker 1: buck he was talking about, they looked at it and said, okay,
- 24:24Speaker 1: this is our personnel. Yeah, so and and and that's
- 24:26Speaker 1: the that's the big part of like UM defense. As
- 24:29Speaker 1: a coordinator, you have to have enough flexibility in your
- 24:33Speaker 1: scheme to be able to account for some of the
- 24:34Speaker 1: deficiencies that you have. And so you talk about Rudy
- 24:38Speaker 1: Ford not being a great cover corner, but what I
- 24:40Speaker 1: mean He's like, Hey, let's put them on the field
- 24:41Speaker 1: because we need his speed, athleticism and tackling. He can't
- 24:45Speaker 1: necessarily cover the man, so maybe we can zone blitz them.
- 24:48Speaker 1: I mean, we're gonna play We're gonna bring pressure with
- 24:51Speaker 1: five maybe six, but we're gonna play zone behind it
- 24:54Speaker 1: as opposed to man demand what people want. Now, if
- 24:58Speaker 1: you go back and look at the the Rams and
- 25:00Speaker 1: the fascination that people had with Brandon Stably when he
- 25:03Speaker 1: was with the Rams, and that with the Chargers. You're
- 25:05Speaker 1: seeing more teams played with these lighter defenses, these hybrid safeties,
- 25:10Speaker 1: a bunch of nickels. They're playing off in space and
- 25:14Speaker 1: they are maybe conceding rushing yards because they want to
- 25:17Speaker 1: have more athletes on the field to defend the past.
- 25:20Speaker 1: That's kind of the way of the world. That's where
- 25:21Speaker 1: we're at right now. And so until the league comes
- 25:24Speaker 1: full circle and people start running the football right at you,
- 25:27Speaker 1: you can get away with some of those unique smallest
- 25:30Speaker 1: fast line lineup um to kind of offset some of
- 25:34Speaker 1: the space that you you can't give up when you're
- 25:36Speaker 1: playing covered. Didn't matter anyway, j You're not allowed to
- 25:40Speaker 1: stop anybody on defense. Apparently, you know everybody gets a
- 25:43Speaker 1: chance now, right, everybody gets a trophy. I mean, everybody
- 25:47Speaker 1: gets the ball back. And I got a rule for overtime.
- 25:52Speaker 1: Doesn't score on his first possession, give another chance? How
- 25:55Speaker 1: about that? Why even have overtime? Like why not just
- 25:58Speaker 1: let the game? And then the talk like what it
- 26:00Speaker 1: is like soccer does that It doesn't really it doesn't
- 26:04Speaker 1: really matter until we get into the postseason. Anyway, half
- 26:07Speaker 1: a win, half a loss, UH percentage points. This is
- 26:10Speaker 1: the Huddle Up Podcast. The Jaguars today signed arden Key
- 26:14Speaker 1: a one year deal, reportedly seven million dollars. Third round
- 26:18Speaker 1: picked by the Raiders out of l s U. He
- 26:20Speaker 1: was the forty niners last year and had six and
- 26:22Speaker 1: a half sacks a season ago. Bucky, what you do
- 26:25Speaker 1: for you inside pass rusher? Unique? Unique player? Now, I
- 26:30Speaker 1: will say you have to have a plan for how
- 26:33Speaker 1: you're going to utilize him because he's not your every
- 26:35Speaker 1: down defensive tackle. He is an up to field pass
- 26:39Speaker 1: rushing presence on the inside that you must have. Elite
- 26:43Speaker 1: defenses now have at least two pass rushers and ideally three,
- 26:46Speaker 1: two on the edges, one on the inside. He gives
- 26:49Speaker 1: people problems with this quickness and length on the inside.
- 26:52Speaker 1: That said, you don't want him out there all the
- 26:55Speaker 1: time because you don't want them to run right at him.
- 26:57Speaker 1: But he's look, he's a good player. Um, A lot
- 27:00Speaker 1: of it will be on Brentson Buckner, the d line coach,
- 27:03Speaker 1: the kind of keep him going and keep building upon
- 27:07Speaker 1: some of the things that he started the show during
- 27:09Speaker 1: his time in San Francisco. He was with him in
- 27:13Speaker 1: Vegas too. I think right Buckner a couple of years ago,
- 27:17Speaker 1: did he compare it all the smooth buck or not?
- 27:20Speaker 1: Really different kind of player. He's a ardent key was.
- 27:25Speaker 1: He was really a light defensive end when he was
- 27:28Speaker 1: coming out of L s U. You know, And he
- 27:30Speaker 1: flashed at L s U early in his career. The
- 27:34Speaker 1: freshman sophomore year he had a big year. Final season
- 27:36Speaker 1: didn't have as much and so there was some he
- 27:38Speaker 1: didn't really know what he was going to do that
- 27:40Speaker 1: kind of hurt his stock. But he certainly has um
- 27:43Speaker 1: tremendous town premier talent. Uh. He's just in a unique
- 27:47Speaker 1: frame because he's he's a little slender um and stature
- 27:51Speaker 1: to be a traditional defensive tackle, but his athleticism and
- 27:56Speaker 1: quickness gives guards problems on the inside if can get
- 28:00Speaker 1: into past or situations able to kind of put him
- 28:02Speaker 1: in there in great in great chaos as a Tasmanian deuvil.
- 28:06Speaker 1: We can't wrap this up without asking Bucky about his
- 28:08Speaker 1: mock Yeah, well that was next time on the agenda here.
- 28:12Speaker 1: Of course, the latest Bucky Brooks mock draft came out
- 28:14Speaker 1: before the Ardent Key signing Aiden Hutchinson still for the
- 28:18Speaker 1: Jags at the number one for you, a Traypon Walker
- 28:21Speaker 1: out of George has made his way up to some
- 28:23Speaker 1: other mock draft number one picks. Um does the is
- 28:27Speaker 1: the Key signing change any of that stuff for you?
- 28:30Speaker 1: Is it a different position? Is it still aiding all
- 28:33Speaker 1: the way for you? Is it a tackle or do
- 28:35Speaker 1: we you know this is a day ago. I guess
- 28:37Speaker 1: when this officially came out. Yeah, now you look. I hate,
- 28:42Speaker 1: I hate to pour back the curtain on the mock drafting,
- 28:44Speaker 1: but um, the the mock draft that you guys are referencing,
- 28:51Speaker 1: that was kind of done to create conversation because I
- 28:53Speaker 1: didn't put any quarterbacks in the first round, so by
- 28:56Speaker 1: design has a great conversation so when we had our
- 28:59Speaker 1: TV show, I could talk about the quarterbacks and quarterback
- 29:01Speaker 1: play or whatever. So that was the thinking that said
- 29:04Speaker 1: at the top of the board with the Jacks. It's
- 29:06Speaker 1: interesting because in my mind, Art and Key the gainst
- 29:11Speaker 1: the necessity of the Jacks having to take a trade
- 29:13Speaker 1: on Walker. All right. The fascination with Trayvon Walker is
- 29:16Speaker 1: he's such an explosive and unique athlete that you could
- 29:19Speaker 1: drop him inside and create problems with his movement skills,
- 29:23Speaker 1: his explosiveness. When that is you have Art and Key
- 29:27Speaker 1: to me, it kind of allows you to settle in
- 29:29Speaker 1: and say, Okay, now we can go and get the
- 29:31Speaker 1: outside of Russian Aidan Hutchinson. We have that NASCAR package
- 29:35Speaker 1: that everyone wants where I got Josh Allen. I have
- 29:39Speaker 1: Art and Key on the inside, Hutchinson off the edge,
- 29:42Speaker 1: maybe one other player, and they said, now we can
- 29:44Speaker 1: go hunt. We can get in those track stances and
- 29:47Speaker 1: go get it. I think Art and Key probably continues
- 29:50Speaker 1: to sprinkle the bread crumbs that Aidan Hutchinson might be
- 29:54Speaker 1: the likely pick for the Jaguars at the top. I'm
- 29:57Speaker 1: fascinated by this. Bucky, Um, give me the names of
- 30:02Speaker 1: the players you could still potentially see being number one.
- 30:06Speaker 1: How long is the list? I would say four to
- 30:12Speaker 1: two pass rushers and two offensive tackles. I would say
- 30:17Speaker 1: Aidan Hutchinson, Trayvon Walker, uh ikey Akwanu and Evenue. Now
- 30:26Speaker 1: that's a long list for being a month out. Is
- 30:29Speaker 1: it not? That feel? I mean that feels I'm not
- 30:32Speaker 1: saying anything against the jag but that speaks to this draft,
- 30:36Speaker 1: doesn't it? Um No. I think for the Jacks, I
- 30:39Speaker 1: think it's the uniqueness of their situation where you're trying
- 30:44Speaker 1: to figure out, if you're the Jacks, what do you
- 30:46Speaker 1: want to place your priority on right John and I
- 30:49Speaker 1: talked about I can't remember we've ben talked about it
- 30:51Speaker 1: in the podcast where we talked about we'll be able
- 30:53Speaker 1: to read the t leaves based on what happens with
- 30:55Speaker 1: Cam Robinson. Well, in listening to Doug Peterson talked about
- 30:58Speaker 1: Cam Robinson. He's there, so he's locked in and he's
- 31:02Speaker 1: gonna be there as your left tackle. Now the conversation
- 31:05Speaker 1: goes to right tackle, how do you feel about right
- 31:07Speaker 1: town And then you heard him wax poetic about Taylor
- 31:11Speaker 1: and walk a little and so then you're like, well,
- 31:14Speaker 1: it kind of seems like he feels good about the
- 31:16Speaker 1: offensive line. So that takes you to the D line
- 31:19Speaker 1: and hey, how do we want to become an explosive
- 31:22Speaker 1: defense at the point of attack? We want a traditional
- 31:24Speaker 1: he us have to edge rushers to go and compliment
- 31:27Speaker 1: one another, or do we want to bring in kind
- 31:29Speaker 1: of like an energize of Bunny that can play on
- 31:31Speaker 1: the inside. When that that you signed Art and Key
- 31:33Speaker 1: and even though it's one year. It kind of guys
- 31:37Speaker 1: kind of tipped their hands. So now I'm like, okay,
- 31:38Speaker 1: well they wanted to outside that. So I just think
- 31:40Speaker 1: it's the conversations and as they continue to evolve as
- 31:44Speaker 1: a team, it'll get begin to like point to us
- 31:47Speaker 1: where it's gonna be a blinking light like okay, this guys,
- 31:49Speaker 1: let me go. I apologize, Bucky. I haven't seen the
- 31:52Speaker 1: mock draft yet. You don't need, no need, no need?
- 31:57Speaker 1: Well I can, I can. I can give you the
- 31:58Speaker 1: top the top three wall pass rush. So it was
- 32:01Speaker 1: eight Hutchinson going, Trayvon Walking going to Detroit, Cavan, Tippo
- 32:05Speaker 1: Though going to Houston, and in Saults Gardner going to
- 32:10Speaker 1: the New York jests at I assume you didn't do
- 32:12Speaker 1: a second round. If you were doing a second round,
- 32:16Speaker 1: who's thirty three if you get the other two? So
- 32:18Speaker 1: it should be an easy pick, right, Uh, could be
- 32:21Speaker 1: an easy pick where like you know, I didn't take
- 32:24Speaker 1: a quarterback there, so that changes. I think here's the thing.
- 32:27Speaker 1: One of those wide receivers will be available for the
- 32:30Speaker 1: jagu and what the Jaguars have to determine do they
- 32:33Speaker 1: want to kid like a Christian Watson from North Dakota State,
- 32:37Speaker 1: a six five pound speed stor um who's a vertical
- 32:42Speaker 1: threat much like the guy that left in d J chart.
- 32:45Speaker 1: Or do they want um kind of a road and
- 32:48Speaker 1: runner type and sky more that sky with two wise
- 32:52Speaker 1: um that can catch balls and make plays and do
- 32:55Speaker 1: maybe some Tyree killer ish type stuff. You know, the
- 33:00Speaker 1: those guys will be a vert Then we talked earlier
- 33:02Speaker 1: about a is Tyler Linden bamb going to be in
- 33:05Speaker 1: the mix? And do guys want to move up with
- 33:08Speaker 1: the Jags and the Jaguars ball out because now they're
- 33:10Speaker 1: looking for quarterbacks that may fall out like a dozen
- 33:13Speaker 1: Ritter or something like that. So it's gonna be a
- 33:16Speaker 1: ProMED spot for the Jaguars to either good a good
- 33:18Speaker 1: player or to auction it off and get the opportunity
- 33:22Speaker 1: to have Morget players come to Yes. I think it's
- 33:24Speaker 1: fascinating JP. I think the top of the draft is
- 33:27Speaker 1: fascinating because it it just feels like defensive impact is
- 33:34Speaker 1: is the best thing they can get there with what
- 33:38Speaker 1: they have in the offensive line. And in the top
- 33:40Speaker 1: of the second if it's pass rusher orly not a
- 33:43Speaker 1: pass rusher, but penetrating defensive player at number one. That
- 33:47Speaker 1: thing with if Linder bombs there, is it offensive line
- 33:51Speaker 1: or wide receiver at number two or the not number
- 33:55Speaker 1: two but number thirty three, Because boy, you could make
- 33:58Speaker 1: an argument that they would in a fit from either direction. Yeah,
- 34:02Speaker 1: I mean that you would feel really great about the
- 34:04Speaker 1: next five years with either of those guys. And then
- 34:07Speaker 1: if you don't go that route, all of a sudden
- 34:09Speaker 1: you're looking at those spots and saying, boy, we still
- 34:11Speaker 1: gotta we still need something there. So but that's yeah,
- 34:15Speaker 1: So that's the way. Yeah, So here's here's here's what
- 34:18Speaker 1: happens in those situations. John. It's almost like, um, okay,
- 34:23Speaker 1: I'm gonna give both of you guys a little grocery
- 34:25Speaker 1: money and I'm gonnappy to go to the grocery store
- 34:27Speaker 1: and then I'm gonnatally he's gonna steal mine. Now I'm
- 34:30Speaker 1: gonna evaluate your packages. Right, So what you would like
- 34:33Speaker 1: to do is you want to go through it and say,
- 34:36Speaker 1: at the end of day two, what I feel better
- 34:41Speaker 1: about having Aiden Hutchison and Tyler Lendenbaum or Aiden Hutchison
- 34:47Speaker 1: and Sky Moore would I'd rather have and a player?
- 34:53Speaker 1: So you want to compare what the total hall is
- 34:56Speaker 1: and then you want to do that comparison based upon
- 34:59Speaker 1: the up to the draft. And so we talked about
- 35:02Speaker 1: Linden bomb at center. Well, maybe we like Cam Jergens
- 35:05Speaker 1: who played at Nebraska. It was athletic and one of
- 35:08Speaker 1: the fastest guys on the line. Is there a significant
- 35:11Speaker 1: drop off in their play, so they let's go get
- 35:14Speaker 1: the better receiver and come back and get one of
- 35:16Speaker 1: the center. And so you're doing this compare and contract
- 35:19Speaker 1: trying to figure out where the lines of demarcation are
- 35:22Speaker 1: between the a's and the bees, and the bees and
- 35:24Speaker 1: the seas and you want to see if you're can
- 35:27Speaker 1: assemble and a chore as many a's and bees as
- 35:30Speaker 1: possible so you don't necessarily have to shop at the
- 35:33Speaker 1: sea line. You have it. That's how the sausage is made.
- 35:36Speaker 1: And we'll see what the jaguar is having. Story. It
- 35:39Speaker 1: is pro day season still and you'll get a good
- 35:41Speaker 1: look at Evan Neil today Alabama's Pro Day coming up
- 35:44Speaker 1: at one o'clock eastern buck here you and there's two
- 35:46Speaker 1: different networks covering the thing. For goodness, sax yeah, r
- 35:49Speaker 1: TR yeah. Role to role isn't that what I'll say, JP,
- 35:52Speaker 1: that's correct, something like this, Yeah, yeah, Now Evan Neil
- 35:56Speaker 1: is one because he hasn't worked He hasn't worked out,
- 35:58Speaker 1: so people want to see now, um, there is a
- 36:02Speaker 1: conversation where people believe Ikey Kwanu is super special because
- 36:07Speaker 1: of the athleticism and nastiness and those things. One of
- 36:09Speaker 1: the reasons why I talked about him being in the conversation, Hey,
- 36:13Speaker 1: we can talk about as guard. Is he at tackle
- 36:16Speaker 1: easy disks? What he is is a is an attitude change.
- 36:19Speaker 1: And so what you want to see with Evan Neil
- 36:22Speaker 1: is he's a little more technical. Is he as athletic
- 36:27Speaker 1: as Ikey Kwanu? You're making those comparing can trash um
- 36:32Speaker 1: decisions to figure out how the draft is. So his
- 36:35Speaker 1: his pro day is big because you get a chance
- 36:38Speaker 1: to try and project out which one of those guys
- 36:41Speaker 1: are probably more ready now, but which one is gonna
- 36:44Speaker 1: be the guy that we talked about being a star
- 36:46Speaker 1: in three, four or five years. Well, there you have it,
- 36:49Speaker 1: Pro day season coming up? What you got any more?
- 36:51Speaker 1: The rest of the week, Like what's happening, Bucky? The
- 36:53Speaker 1: rest of your week coming up? In closing, Okay, So
- 36:55Speaker 1: we're gearing up for a path to the draft on
- 36:58Speaker 1: NFL Network kicks off one day. So it's a daily
- 37:01Speaker 1: deal where we'll look at all the top prospects and
- 37:03Speaker 1: all that stuff, start matching teams and players and comparing
- 37:07Speaker 1: lists and that stuff, and I mean usual suspects, Like
- 37:10Speaker 1: then you know, more mock drafts, more top five lists,
- 37:13Speaker 1: more kind of narrowing it down and kind of wiling
- 37:15Speaker 1: away until I get a chance to come out of
- 37:18Speaker 1: Jacksonville see what's going on draft week, and we'll look
- 37:21Speaker 1: forward to the seven round Bucky Brooks mock that's gonna
- 37:24Speaker 1: come soon. Right, you're gonna do with no quarterbacks, no
- 37:27Speaker 1: past rush, Right, we want we want to do. We
- 37:32Speaker 1: wanna do a seven round of Dad Desk for everybody.
- 37:34Speaker 1: But you know, like yeah, like it's so the conversation starters, right,
- 37:38Speaker 1: it's so boring to just put the same stuff everybody.
- 37:41Speaker 1: And because guess what, once someone trades like two days
- 37:45Speaker 1: before the draft, it's gonna message mock draft anyway. So right,
- 37:48Speaker 1: they're all wrong anyway, why not have it wrong and fun? Yeah,
- 37:52Speaker 1: it's wrong and fun. If you really want to know
- 37:53Speaker 1: what I think about players, like always say, like a
- 37:56Speaker 1: top five list and if I'm ranking them one to
- 37:58Speaker 1: fifty or whatever like, that's how I really feel about him.
- 38:01Speaker 1: Mock drafts are kind of fun scenarios where I get
- 38:03Speaker 1: to play Tram Balky four Day and stuff like that.
- 38:06Speaker 1: That's all that is, and JP, Bucky and I will
- 38:08Speaker 1: be wrapping up in the next seven days or so.
- 38:11Speaker 1: We'll be wrapping up our look at the Jaguars roster
- 38:14Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot Com and after that we'll have Bucky
- 38:17Speaker 1: Brooks's perspective on the Jaguars draft leading up to the draft.
- 38:20Speaker 1: That's all coming up. That'll be Uh. I'm putting Bucky
- 38:23Speaker 1: to work. Yes, that's a good thing, um, and we
- 38:26Speaker 1: love having him here as well at all kidding side.
- 38:28Speaker 1: As good as he is in this format for us,
- 38:31Speaker 1: the insight that he gives into different positions, I really enjoyed.
- 38:36Speaker 1: So that's the written content on Jaguars Hopmoms look forward
- 38:38Speaker 1: to that coming up. Bucky, have a great week. We'll
- 38:41Speaker 1: talk to you again next week. John Osan senior writer
