1:00
Speaker 1: Um Well, all eyes and thoughts on the quarterbacks, big
1:05
Speaker 1: toe on his left foot, including head coach Doug Peterson
1:09
Speaker 1: earlier today, you know, day to day, Um, getting treatment
1:13
Speaker 1: every day, you know, and um, just progressing in the
1:16
Speaker 1: right direction. No, no, we'll just keep him out today. Um,
1:21
Speaker 1: even though you know, tempo wise, it's more walk through tempo.
1:24
Speaker 1: He'll get all the metal reps uh today. But but
1:27
Speaker 1: nothing from the standpoint of, you know, moving around. What's
1:30
Speaker 1: the level of concern. I mean, obviously when it's your quarterback,
1:34
Speaker 1: there's an any player, there's a level of concern. But
1:37
Speaker 1: you know, we still got several days, you know before
1:40
Speaker 1: the game. But UM, you know he's uh, he's tough, UM,
1:44
Speaker 1: and uh he'll do everything he can, I know in
1:46
Speaker 1: his power to try to try to be out there.
1:48
Speaker 1: But we'll just take it day by day. Lawrence was
1:50
Speaker 1: made available to the media as normal on Wednesday after practice,
1:55
Speaker 1: a practice that he did not really participate in. As
1:58
Speaker 1: you heard from the head coach there his thoughts on
2:01
Speaker 1: the week ahead. Feeling better today, Um than I was
2:05
Speaker 1: Monday and yesterday. You know, a little bit of the
2:07
Speaker 1: soreness is it's kind of it is going down a
2:09
Speaker 1: little bit. Um. Obviously still still sore and kind of
2:12
Speaker 1: taking it day by day. But um, fortunate for sure.
2:16
Speaker 1: You know, I feel I feel pretty good. All right?
2:19
Speaker 1: Do you have it from the quarterback? We welcome in
2:21
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks. John Osier C J. Bethord was speaking in
2:25
Speaker 1: the locker room today. He hasn't had this when he
2:27
Speaker 1: snapps into practice in like two years. He said, it's
2:29
Speaker 1: been a little while. It's one of those weeks. Will
2:32
Speaker 1: kind of play it day to day, Bucky. But you know,
2:35
Speaker 1: Trevor is a tough guy. There's no doubt about that.
2:37
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of if it's gonna do anything else.
2:39
Speaker 1: And and here we go opening Titans week talking about
2:43
Speaker 1: a big toe. Yeah, open it up, because the franchise
2:46
Speaker 1: quarterback is everything. You gotta have Trevor Lawrence to be
2:49
Speaker 1: able to compete at a high level, particularly against the
2:51
Speaker 1: team like the Titans, the team that was the number
2:53
Speaker 1: one seed a year ago. And despite the stuff they
2:56
Speaker 1: may be going on, the chaosk they did currently going through,
2:58
Speaker 1: this is still a really good team. And so you
3:00
Speaker 1: need all hands on deck, and Trevor Lawrence is certainly
3:04
Speaker 1: the biggest piece of the puzzle. He's the biggest hand
3:09
Speaker 1: you need on deck. I would you know, uh, Doug
3:13
Speaker 1: does a good job of uh not tipping his hand
3:17
Speaker 1: with injuries. Um, you think about it, A lot of
3:21
Speaker 1: guys listened as questionable going into the weekend. He didn't
3:24
Speaker 1: really tip it off a whole lot. I think that's
3:25
Speaker 1: by design, you know, UH coaches like to do that.
3:28
Speaker 1: I'd be very surprised if Trevor doesn't play. Uh. He
3:31
Speaker 1: didn't seem to be walking into the press room with
3:33
Speaker 1: a limp um. The fact that he talked today, you
3:38
Speaker 1: know who knows. I think we're still getting a feel for, sorry,
3:40
Speaker 1: how Doug handles the you know, uh games or whatever.
3:46
Speaker 1: All that is, all the off field stuff. I'd be surprised.
3:49
Speaker 1: I'd be surprised if he doesn't play. Uh. And I've
3:51
Speaker 1: said it all week. I think this is a big,
3:54
Speaker 1: big game for the franchise and you need to beat
3:57
Speaker 1: this team and show you can beat this team. And
3:59
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll talk about that more later. But I
4:01
Speaker 1: think the lot of the quarterback. But yeah, Doug Peterson
4:04
Speaker 1: also today said that, hey, he's wearing kind of this
4:06
Speaker 1: protective shoe thing. And I saw it in the locker
4:09
Speaker 1: room today. It's almost like a glorified sandal. It's it's
4:12
Speaker 1: not even like it's not even close to a boot
4:14
Speaker 1: one of those, So we'll see who knows it's well.
4:18
Speaker 1: It makes sense if you think about it, and not
4:20
Speaker 1: Bucky obviously a dealt with injuries. He can probably speak
4:22
Speaker 1: to it more. But your eleven or twelve games in
4:28
Speaker 1: so Trevor clearly knows the offense, now knows what he's doing.
4:33
Speaker 1: You'd love to have him out there, but with an
4:35
Speaker 1: injury like this, you've got to think that staying off
4:40
Speaker 1: of it for a few days helps the pain that
4:44
Speaker 1: he might feel in it. So it makes sense to
4:47
Speaker 1: sort of hold them out purely, not precautionary, but just
4:52
Speaker 1: so that he will feel better, even though you have
4:54
Speaker 1: a really good idea that he's gonna play on Sunday.
4:56
Speaker 1: That's my gut that that's is a that's what it is.
5:00
Speaker 1: We'll see if if my gut is right. It's been
5:02
Speaker 1: wrong before, real wrong, right. But I have a question
5:06
Speaker 1: for the assistant coach, Bucky Brooks. So if he does
5:09
Speaker 1: not practice all week, Doug said that he'd be comfortable
5:12
Speaker 1: playing him, but this deep into the season, that's he
5:15
Speaker 1: knows the offense, right, that's not the question at all. Yeah,
5:18
Speaker 1: he knows the offense. He can play without practicing all week.
5:21
Speaker 1: It's certainly not ideal, but what you would do is
5:23
Speaker 1: you try and get him, uh to undergo like a
5:26
Speaker 1: pretty extensive pregame warm up with the starters coming out,
5:29
Speaker 1: so you know how we see those guys come out
5:31
Speaker 1: early in shorts uh their hood. He's on the kind
5:34
Speaker 1: of warm it up. I think what you do is
5:36
Speaker 1: you kind of put him through the paces then just
5:38
Speaker 1: to make sure that the timing is right in the
5:40
Speaker 1: passing game. But when it comes to the playbook, he
5:42
Speaker 1: knows what he needs to know in the playbook. He
5:45
Speaker 1: knows the xs and ohs and all of those things.
5:47
Speaker 1: Now it's about making sure that he gets to the
5:50
Speaker 1: game fresh and ready to go. You want him healthy.
5:53
Speaker 1: You wanted to give him the best chance for him
5:55
Speaker 1: to have an impact on the game. And the only
5:57
Speaker 1: way you can do that is kind of hold him
5:58
Speaker 1: out unless you absolutely need him to be a practice. Yeah.
6:01
Speaker 1: Doug was asked, as most coaches are in their first year,
6:06
Speaker 1: are you okay with playing a player who hasn't practiced
6:10
Speaker 1: all week? In this case Trevor Lawrence, and he gave
6:12
Speaker 1: a very calm, standard answer, and they answer was your
6:17
Speaker 1: darn right, I am your question. I mean, when it's
6:21
Speaker 1: your quarterback, and when it's clearly the quarterback. Uh, you know,
6:26
Speaker 1: you've got to think that even him making a mistake
6:29
Speaker 1: because he didn't practice, is still superior to play in
6:33
Speaker 1: your backup because it's so important. So I again, if
6:35
Speaker 1: it's close, he's gonna play, if it's not a chance
6:39
Speaker 1: of recurring injury, or if he can move. Uh. And again,
6:43
Speaker 1: to me, the fact that he was walking without a
6:45
Speaker 1: limp today makes me feel like he's going to be
6:48
Speaker 1: okay to play. And I mean, just consider how lucky
6:51
Speaker 1: that is. Looking at the play itself again from last week,
6:55
Speaker 1: I mean, this could have been so much worse than
6:59
Speaker 1: we're and you're talking about right now, Bucky, Yeah, so
7:02
Speaker 1: much worse being being field level. I thought it was
7:06
Speaker 1: a knee injury, because when you go out there and
7:08
Speaker 1: you see the trainers working on the lower leg and
7:10
Speaker 1: and and kind of doing the the flection tests normally
7:14
Speaker 1: that is associated. We need at no point that I
7:16
Speaker 1: think it was a toe injury. But when he made
7:18
Speaker 1: his way back onto the field, and he made his
7:20
Speaker 1: way back up to the field without a brace, and
7:22
Speaker 1: he didn't have a noticeable limp, or anything like that.
7:25
Speaker 1: Within you felt better because the one thing that you
7:27
Speaker 1: know is this dude is really a critical part of
7:31
Speaker 1: this team's future, and having the franchise quarterback healthy and
7:34
Speaker 1: available to play is is a huge part of being
7:38
Speaker 1: able to win games. And so the fact that he
7:40
Speaker 1: might be and we anticipating him being able to play
7:43
Speaker 1: this weekend gives the Jaguars at least a punch of
7:46
Speaker 1: chance of being able to win. And if he play,
7:48
Speaker 1: he's better than the increase of the Jaguars being able
7:50
Speaker 1: to win. Yeah. I wrote about it in in several
7:53
Speaker 1: spots on on the site on Monday, because I get
7:56
Speaker 1: that they got blown out, um and I get that
7:59
Speaker 1: it was bad in the short term, but in the
8:00
Speaker 1: long term his health. Not only do you want it
8:05
Speaker 1: for the last five games, what you particularly don't want
8:08
Speaker 1: to me is him standing on the sidelines on May two,
8:14
Speaker 1: or or having one of those situations that we've all
8:18
Speaker 1: covered all been around where you're easing him back in
8:22
Speaker 1: during training camp and you're being cautious with him during
8:25
Speaker 1: training camp. You don't want that at all. I mean
8:29
Speaker 1: the off season for these guys, when you talk to players,
8:32
Speaker 1: and Bucky can probably speak to this When you talk
8:34
Speaker 1: to players who have rehabbed in the off season, their
8:38
Speaker 1: ramp up, their ramp up for that season, it just
8:41
Speaker 1: feels different. And you want this guy, you know, ready
8:46
Speaker 1: to go in the off season. I think that's as
8:48
Speaker 1: critical a story as there is for the future of
8:50
Speaker 1: the franchise as as how he plays in the last
8:53
Speaker 1: five games. Yeah, going to year two of an offense,
8:56
Speaker 1: really that's that's a big deal. This is huddle up
8:59
Speaker 1: with Bucky Brooks. That that is the offensive side. Of course,
9:01
Speaker 1: they had some drops, they had a fumble all that.
9:04
Speaker 1: We can get to that a little bit later and
9:05
Speaker 1: we're moving forward now. But the other side of the
9:08
Speaker 1: ball last week was the big story coming out of
9:10
Speaker 1: that game in Detroit. Of course, eight scoring drives for
9:13
Speaker 1: the Lions and then the ninth was the kneel down
9:16
Speaker 1: to in the game. The Jaguars did not get off
9:19
Speaker 1: the field against the Lions. There you have it, um score,
9:23
Speaker 1: I mean just scoring drive after scoring drive. So, um
9:28
Speaker 1: is this uh? Is this a one off? What was
9:31
Speaker 1: the What do you take away the most from this
9:34
Speaker 1: defensive performance last week? Bucky? And how do they flush this?
9:37
Speaker 1: When I move on to a different feeling, Tennessee offense. Well,
9:42
Speaker 1: if you dog Peterson, what you have to do is
9:43
Speaker 1: you have to invoke the twenty four hour rules. So
9:45
Speaker 1: no matter how bet it looked on Sunday, by the
9:48
Speaker 1: end of Monday, we gotta be done with him. We
9:49
Speaker 1: gotta put it to there, we gotta move forward. Uh.
9:52
Speaker 1: And it was embarrassing. I mean, it was embarrassing for
9:54
Speaker 1: a team to score on eight straight drives and the
9:57
Speaker 1: only time did you stopped him was because they had
9:59
Speaker 1: licked the to kneel down at the end of the game.
10:02
Speaker 1: And so this is one where when you go back
10:04
Speaker 1: and you reevaluate the scheme and the personnel, their issues.
10:08
Speaker 1: Some of the issues exist in the back end where
10:11
Speaker 1: you're not good enough to play man to man and
10:13
Speaker 1: you don't appear to have a feel for how to
10:16
Speaker 1: play zone. And so if you're Dan Quinn, uh, I mean,
10:19
Speaker 1: if I mean, if you're Mike call Will and you're
10:21
Speaker 1: sitting here trying to figure out how do I call
10:25
Speaker 1: a defense to put my team in the best situation.
10:27
Speaker 1: It's hard. If you can't play man and you can't
10:29
Speaker 1: play zone, you can't heat them up because you have
10:32
Speaker 1: coverage deficiencies. It just makes it very very difficult and
10:36
Speaker 1: challenging to win a game. And then the other part
10:38
Speaker 1: of this is up front. You thought the front was
10:41
Speaker 1: going to be the strength of the team. You thought
10:42
Speaker 1: that you would be able to really dominate the game
10:45
Speaker 1: with a four man or a five man line, and
10:47
Speaker 1: right now the Jaguars haven't been able to do it.
10:49
Speaker 1: So it's a combination of the defensive coordinator looking at
10:53
Speaker 1: the scheme and trying to figure out what can I
10:55
Speaker 1: do better to help my guys perform. But then the
10:58
Speaker 1: players got to play better, and so everybody is accountable, coaching, staff, players,
11:02
Speaker 1: everyone has to raise the level of play hidden and
11:04
Speaker 1: since you next week, yeah, when you mean when you
11:07
Speaker 1: can't play man or zone, there's yeah, you know, those
11:10
Speaker 1: are the two choices I checked. I mean, I mean, uh,
11:17
Speaker 1: I'm not really trying to be cute. Then I'm trying
11:19
Speaker 1: to emphasize. I mean a lot of questions about my
11:22
Speaker 1: called one. And I know he's in his first year,
11:24
Speaker 1: and I'm sure there are things where he would he
11:26
Speaker 1: would tell you I wish I had that one back,
11:28
Speaker 1: or maybe I could have done this differently or that differently.
11:31
Speaker 1: But I couldn't agree more with everything. Bucky just lined
11:35
Speaker 1: up when you can't cover in the back end and
11:39
Speaker 1: the quarterback can get rid of the ball at at
11:43
Speaker 1: at his leisure when he wants to, and when your
11:45
Speaker 1: linebackers are clearly having trouble recognizing so that the short
11:51
Speaker 1: stuff the checkdowns are available, it's hard to rush the
11:56
Speaker 1: past or when you don't have dominant pass rush. I mean,
11:59
Speaker 1: this team do and have a pass rush that's just
12:01
Speaker 1: going to scare you and get there with four so
12:04
Speaker 1: I don't know really what you call. And then the
12:08
Speaker 1: other day you had the added effect of an okay
12:11
Speaker 1: pass rush because that I do think with a good secondary,
12:14
Speaker 1: the right pasture should be okay. But you had an
12:17
Speaker 1: okay to not you know, a three or four in
12:21
Speaker 1: a scale of one to ten is the pass rush
12:23
Speaker 1: this year. But you had a really good offensive line
12:27
Speaker 1: that brought that pass rush down to where it was
12:29
Speaker 1: just non existent because the Lion's offensive line is good.
12:33
Speaker 1: So I don't think it was a one off. I mean, unfortunately,
12:37
Speaker 1: and JP, you have to read me every day, and
12:39
Speaker 1: I apologize for that, but I've written two or three
12:41
Speaker 1: times this week people talking about the defense regressing. I
12:44
Speaker 1: don't know if it has They had two good performances
12:48
Speaker 1: this year against the Colts and the Chargers who were
12:50
Speaker 1: depleted offensively, and then you shut the Texans down to thirteen.
12:54
Speaker 1: Other than that, they've given up twenty every game. So
12:57
Speaker 1: are they regressing or is this is what they are?
12:59
Speaker 1: And again I'm not trying to say this time of
13:01
Speaker 1: year you should kind of know what you are. Yeah,
13:03
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to sit there in hammer and hammer
13:05
Speaker 1: and hammer, but making the point that I don't know
13:07
Speaker 1: if you can look at the staff and say, oh,
13:10
Speaker 1: the players are getting worse, it's what I think. It
13:13
Speaker 1: is what it is, and the flaws that we see
13:17
Speaker 1: I think are the flaws, and I don't know if
13:18
Speaker 1: there's a way to get them better. I hope I'm wrong,
13:21
Speaker 1: but that's what it feels like. I can't agree with you.
13:24
Speaker 1: I kind of agree with uh, like j when he
13:27
Speaker 1: says that the flaws are the flaws and you're not
13:29
Speaker 1: gonna be able to radically change anything. In the middle
13:32
Speaker 1: of the season. The players have talked about simplifying the
13:34
Speaker 1: scheme and doing things differently. The coaches have talked about that.
13:37
Speaker 1: Doug has talked about maybe we need to go ben,
13:39
Speaker 1: but don't break and keep everything in front. The problem
13:41
Speaker 1: is the personnel that you have doesn't necessarily match the
13:45
Speaker 1: philosophy that you want to employ. And so we're going
13:49
Speaker 1: into this. The personnel that was accumulated were more man
13:53
Speaker 1: to man corners, Guys that were supposed to be able
13:55
Speaker 1: to go nose to nose and jam and play with you,
13:58
Speaker 1: uh bump and run, but they can't do that. And
14:01
Speaker 1: when you put them in off coverage, they kind of
14:04
Speaker 1: like fish out of water. They're not very comfortable and
14:06
Speaker 1: playing that they don't understand uh route concepts and combinations
14:11
Speaker 1: and how to pass things off, and so they get
14:12
Speaker 1: lost in the sauce, and so you see big plays happen. Um,
14:16
Speaker 1: this is one where we're gonna have to kind of
14:17
Speaker 1: bite the bit for the rest of the year, and
14:19
Speaker 1: then in the off season that's when you can overhaul
14:22
Speaker 1: the defense and that's when you can implement and make
14:24
Speaker 1: some of the changes that need to be made to
14:26
Speaker 1: be better not only it gets the pass, but also
14:28
Speaker 1: in terms of rushing to pass it, because right now
14:30
Speaker 1: they're not getting it done in either aspect. I think
14:33
Speaker 1: Bucky has off screen like a list of sayings that
14:37
Speaker 1: he marks off and lost in the Sauce was next
14:41
Speaker 1: on the list. That was a new one. As much
14:43
Speaker 1: as I hated that he was right in his analysis there,
14:47
Speaker 1: I love the fact that we heard lost in the
14:49
Speaker 1: saw pretty good. We do exactly what it fits. We're
14:58
Speaker 1: back in a moment. It's time to deck the hall.
15:00

Speaker 1: gonna be a physical football game. And and uh, our guys, uh,
15:59
Speaker 1: you don't need understand that. That's the head coach, of course.
16:02
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson earlier today, welcome back. It's uddle up with
16:05
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks. It's Wednesday, Week four teen, JP Shadrick with
16:08
Speaker 1: John Osier here in Jacksonville, Bucky Brooks out west in
16:12
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, getting ready for the Titans and the Jaguars.
16:16
Speaker 1: And let's take a look at the series history. Uh,
16:19
Speaker 1: it's pretty ugly if you're a Jaguar fan. The Titans
16:22
Speaker 1: lead all time in the regular season. Of course, the
16:25
Speaker 1: win in the a f C Championship game after ninety
16:29
Speaker 1: nine since it has been all Titans. The Titans have
16:34
Speaker 1: won the last five and nine of the last ten,
16:36
Speaker 1: and they've beat the heck out of the Jaguars and
16:38
Speaker 1: scoring in the current five game losing skid. The Jags
16:41
Speaker 1: haven't won in Nashville since the Will Blackman's sack, fumble,
16:45
Speaker 1: recovery and return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
16:48
Speaker 1: Back Tyler Shatley in the locker room today was about
16:53
Speaker 1: the only one that was on the team. He was
16:54
Speaker 1: inactive for that game on the sideline, and he just
16:57
Speaker 1: doesn't remember it at all. I think he was there,
16:59
Speaker 1: he was, he was inactive, he was he remember. Okay,
17:02
Speaker 1: all right, that's right, Okay, well either way, but that
17:09
Speaker 1: it's not gone well, how I have a question for
17:12
Speaker 1: the former player. Um and me, as a media guy,
17:17
Speaker 1: sort of believes this, but I wouldn't bounce it off Bucky.
17:20
Speaker 1: I think this is a crucial game for this team
17:22
Speaker 1: because I don't think they're gonna go to the playoffs.
17:25
Speaker 1: But at some point you have to be able to
17:26
Speaker 1: go up to Tennessee and win if if if you're
17:29
Speaker 1: gonna be the big dog in the division, you know,
17:33
Speaker 1: and not get lost in the sauce, then you know,
17:36
Speaker 1: at some point you gotta be able to go up
17:37
Speaker 1: and win this game. Uh, how much of that is
17:41
Speaker 1: real buck for players? You know? I know that not
17:45
Speaker 1: everybody on this team has been to Nashville, so they
17:48
Speaker 1: don't have that thing about Tennessee. But do you think
17:51
Speaker 1: it's important for that reason? It is important. It's important
17:55
Speaker 1: because this is a team that is uh lorded over
17:58
Speaker 1: to Vision the last three years, and so you need
18:00
Speaker 1: to go and beat them so that you can get
18:02
Speaker 1: past a stigma mystique that they have when it comes
18:05
Speaker 1: to being able to dominate the a f C South. Uh.
18:08
Speaker 1: If you Doug Peterson, the reason why you want to
18:10
Speaker 1: win this is because you want to come back off
18:12
Speaker 1: a very disappointed performance against the Lions, and you want
18:15
Speaker 1: to show that we took advantage of the opportunity we
18:18
Speaker 1: had throughout the practice week to get better. Here we are,
18:21
Speaker 1: let's put it on tape. You put it on tape
18:23
Speaker 1: and you win with then you get more buy in
18:25
Speaker 1: from the rest of the team. And so it's a
18:27
Speaker 1: huge game for the Jaguars, not necessarily just because you're
18:30
Speaker 1: talking about taking over division, but you're trying to build
18:34
Speaker 1: some things to set yourself, set your team off success
18:38
Speaker 1: in future years. By the way, you're right, John so
18:41
Speaker 1: Shatley was a rookie at fourteen, and that's why I
18:43
Speaker 1: didn't remember it in the locker room, but it was
18:45
Speaker 1: like two or three of us asking about it. J
18:47
Speaker 1: P said something that I never hear at home. This
18:54
Speaker 1: is a big day for me, But that said, there's
18:57
Speaker 1: nobody left on the team. It was there, Yeah, it's
19:00
Speaker 1: it's it's probably why he didn't like I don't remember
19:03
Speaker 1: it because he wasn't there. But okay, no, go ahead, no,
19:09
Speaker 1: I just to me, how much different well the offseason
19:17
Speaker 1: feel for these guys if they win this game. And
19:21
Speaker 1: maybe I'm over emphasizing it for the Jaguars. Yeah, for
19:24
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, because now you go in having improved. I
19:29
Speaker 1: think they'll win a couple of their last five. But
19:33
Speaker 1: if this is one of them where you've gone up
19:35
Speaker 1: there and and I've beaten this team, then you go
19:37
Speaker 1: into the off season telling yourself, hey, well, you know,
19:40
Speaker 1: uh to beat the Colts if you want against the Texans,
19:45
Speaker 1: then you go up and feel like you've really made
19:47
Speaker 1: a good stride this season for this So I think
19:49
Speaker 1: it's big. It is big, And of course Tennessee at
19:53
Speaker 1: the top of the division because they run the football,
19:56
Speaker 1: they're physical, and Derrick Henry leads the way there. He
19:59
Speaker 1: is number on in the NFL and rushing attempts this year,
20:03
Speaker 1: though the last few weeks the yardage has not quite
20:06
Speaker 1: been you know, a big, over the top, one yard
20:09
Speaker 1: kind of day for Henry, but you know they still
20:12
Speaker 1: give it to him enough where the yardage adds up
20:14
Speaker 1: over the season. And he's really put together some big
20:18
Speaker 1: games against the Jaguars. Of course, as you see there,
20:21
Speaker 1: um boy, he's he's put up a couple of two
20:23
Speaker 1: hundred yard games over the last five or six meetings.
20:27
Speaker 1: We know all about those. And you know, if you
20:30
Speaker 1: hit him early. He's talking to some guys in the
20:31
Speaker 1: locker room today, Bucky, you gotta get him early. Don't
20:34
Speaker 1: let him get the head of steam, get penetration, hit
20:37
Speaker 1: him in the backfield, keep hitting him and and that's
20:39
Speaker 1: how you can slow him down at least. Yeah, Like
20:43
Speaker 1: he's one of those guys that's like the big old
20:45
Speaker 1: monster truck that's sitting in the driveway and you don't
20:47
Speaker 1: want him to go down the driveway. Get a little momentum.
20:51
Speaker 1: If you can get him early before he gets everything going,
20:54
Speaker 1: you have a chance to slow him down. Well, let's
20:56
Speaker 1: be honest, what this is. This is a test of
20:58
Speaker 1: your courage and your ravery and your toughness when it
21:01
Speaker 1: comes to dealing with a two and fifty pound running
21:04
Speaker 1: back that likes to run between the tackles. And what
21:07
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans do is they do a great job
21:09
Speaker 1: of getting their bigs on your littles and so they're
21:13
Speaker 1: gonna leave corners unblocked, they'll leave the safety unblocked, and
21:16
Speaker 1: they literally will dare you to make tackles one on
21:19
Speaker 1: one with your little guy taking on him. And then
21:22
Speaker 1: if you decide that you want to go all out
21:25
Speaker 1: and sell out to stop the run, when now they've
21:27
Speaker 1: added to marquee players that can tear you up and
21:30
Speaker 1: man to man coverage. Um, you know, it's it's it's
21:35
Speaker 1: it's interesting because what they want to do with Traylon
21:38
Speaker 1: treyvon Burgess is make those plays. But you have to
21:41
Speaker 1: take you have to take King Henry away. You have
21:45
Speaker 1: to make this a game where it's about Ryan Tannehill
21:48
Speaker 1: having to throw to the guys on the outside and
21:51
Speaker 1: you have to dare those guys to win. But you
21:53
Speaker 1: cannot let the King get going because we've seen it
21:56
Speaker 1: time and time again when he gets going against the Jaguars,
21:59
Speaker 1: it's all for Jacksonville. Yeah, And I don't know if
22:03
Speaker 1: this Tennessee offense, you know it is Derrick Henry absolutely
22:10
Speaker 1: the dominant, dominant running back that he was in year
22:13
Speaker 1: five and six. I don't know, Uh, the Titans offense
22:19
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to have that element this year. Where they
22:22
Speaker 1: can come back running the ball like they were stunningly
22:26
Speaker 1: good at that for two or three years, and they
22:27
Speaker 1: would be down fourteen and they would run their way
22:30
Speaker 1: back into games that that's really hard to do. But
22:35
Speaker 1: if they're not and he's not, he's still really really
22:39
Speaker 1: good and really really dangerous. I mean it's not like
22:41
Speaker 1: you can say, well, they don't have to worry. He's
22:45
Speaker 1: still a guy that if you don't approach it right
22:48
Speaker 1: and if if you let him get going, he can
22:52
Speaker 1: still embarrass you. So I think it's a big step,
22:55
Speaker 1: I mean the big test. I think the Jaguars should
22:59
Speaker 1: match up better against this than they have in the past,
23:02
Speaker 1: because they certainly feel like they are better run defense.
23:08
Speaker 1: But it didn't feel that way last week. You follow me,
23:11
Speaker 1: I kept saying all last week that they'd be able
23:13
Speaker 1: to match up because it was a conventional offense the
23:15
Speaker 1: whole thing. Uh, their numbers showed it, Bucky, but it
23:20
Speaker 1: didn't feel like they were great against the run last week.
23:22
Speaker 1: And are they as good as we thought against conventional offenses?
23:26
Speaker 1: I guess is it is what I'm asking you. Tom
23:31
Speaker 1: was ill because I don't know John, because I'm gonna
23:34
Speaker 1: be honest with you, The way that the Detroit lines
23:36
Speaker 1: went up and down the field, they beat them, they
23:37
Speaker 1: beat him up, they beat him anyway that they wanted
23:40
Speaker 1: to is very decisive. It wasn't close. And so my
23:44
Speaker 1: fear was, man, is that the explosure the exposure that
23:49
Speaker 1: we didn't not want the rest of the league to
23:50
Speaker 1: get to see that kind of stuff on tape. The
23:53
Speaker 1: jack Wards are gonna face those kinds of things weekend,
23:56
Speaker 1: week out until they resolved them. And so the physicality
24:00
Speaker 1: in and in toughness to lack thereof against the Lions,
24:03
Speaker 1: When are you're gonna get tested by the team that
24:05
Speaker 1: advancies themselfs as the bullies on the block in the
24:08
Speaker 1: n FC South? And so how do we respond to
24:10
Speaker 1: the physicality? How do we respond with that gap discipline
24:13
Speaker 1: and integrity to defend the run? And then finally, can
24:16
Speaker 1: you keep these guys from going over the top? Can
24:20
Speaker 1: you keep Robert Woods and Trailing Burkes and those guys
24:22
Speaker 1: contained where they don't hurt you? Because we have played
24:26
Speaker 1: against better white receivers and they've hurt you. We played
24:29
Speaker 1: with lesser receivers and they've heard her. So our corners
24:33
Speaker 1: and dbs, they don't have to wear the big hat
24:35
Speaker 1: this week because they need to be able to cover
24:37
Speaker 1: to these guys a man to man so you can
24:38
Speaker 1: stop what you want to stop in the running game.
24:41
Speaker 1: I have one question for the scout, Uh how much?
24:45
Speaker 1: And I think you probably heard him a little bit again,
24:49
Speaker 1: oh week, I'm not making the case that this is
24:51
Speaker 1: a good Jaguars defense, but it was. It was on Sunday.
24:57
Speaker 1: It was worse than I expected. How much did Cisco
25:01
Speaker 1: being out that being sort of a last minute thing?
25:04
Speaker 1: Do you think that heard it all? And again, this
25:07
Speaker 1: has been a team that's given up twenty seven or
25:09
Speaker 1: twenty eight the last two or three weeks, So I
25:10
Speaker 1: think it's I think that's where it is forty and
25:13
Speaker 1: just not be able to stop anybody. Even that surprised me. Uh,
25:18
Speaker 1: did Cisco have any to do with that? No? I mean,
25:22
Speaker 1: I think Cisco is a good player, and I think
25:24
Speaker 1: he's a ball hawk. I think he does a good
25:25
Speaker 1: job of patrolling the middle, and he's a traffic cop
25:28
Speaker 1: you remove a starter. So he certainly had an impact.
25:31
Speaker 1: But in terms of what we witnessed, what we witnessed
25:34
Speaker 1: was a mom ru st Brown go over a hundred
25:36
Speaker 1: yards just spinning dbs around like tops finding sauce spots
25:39
Speaker 1: in zone coverage. We then saw DJ chart, the same
25:43
Speaker 1: DJ chart that was up and down with the Jaguars
25:46
Speaker 1: go for five for almost had a hundred yard game,
25:49
Speaker 1: Jared going through for over three hundred yards. There was
25:52
Speaker 1: no way that we could slow them down at any
25:56
Speaker 1: point of the game. Could not get off the field
25:59
Speaker 1: on money downs. And so my biggest fear is that
26:02
Speaker 1: everyone looks at that tape and says, you know what,
26:05
Speaker 1: I don't think these guys can defend the back, and
26:07
Speaker 1: they just go at them and then later when they
26:10
Speaker 1: decided to run it, they run it. But I don't know.
26:12
Speaker 1: I don't know how might call will can resolve this
26:14
Speaker 1: because the personnel, the philosophy, and in the playbook they
26:18
Speaker 1: don't match. And I don't think you can win at
26:20
Speaker 1: a high level with things that aren't aligned when it
26:23
Speaker 1: comes to how you play, how you develop your players,
26:25
Speaker 1: how you want to get it done. Alright, guys, let's
26:28
Speaker 1: come back in a moment. We'll take a look at
26:29
Speaker 1: the Titans defense, another physical group, certainly up fronts, and
26:35
Speaker 1: we've got a social media question a little bit later.
26:37
Speaker 1: We'll wrap it up coming up a little bit. It's
26:39
Speaker 1: huddle Up with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network.
26:49
Speaker 1: You know, I think games like this the trenches, as
26:52
Speaker 1: they say, UM control the line of scrimmage becomes important.
26:56
Speaker 1: UM and the ability to tackle you know there. I mean,
27:00
Speaker 1: he's a he's a big, physical running back, and and
27:03
Speaker 1: it's gonna take all eleven defensively to to do that.
27:06
Speaker 1: And UM. But it definitely starts both sides of the ball.
27:11
Speaker 1: Offensive line controlling their d line and then of course
27:14
Speaker 1: you know our defensive line UM against their offensive line. UM.
27:19
Speaker 1: The trenches is a is a big part of this game.
27:22
Speaker 1: Yes it is. It's Titans Jaguars week, and the Jaguars
27:26
Speaker 1: are edited Nashville in week fourteen. They have it won there,
27:30
Speaker 1: welcome back and tunnel up with Bucky Brooks. JP Shaddick,
27:32
Speaker 1: John O's are alongside. Let's take a look at the
27:35
Speaker 1: Titans defensive ranking so far through week thirteen and the
27:40
Speaker 1: Titans defense, well, there you have it, UM towards the
27:44
Speaker 1: bottom and total yardage very good against the run this year. Statistically,
27:48
Speaker 1: at least they give up some passing yardage. They take
27:51
Speaker 1: the ball away thirteen times nine interceptions this year number
27:55
Speaker 1: one on third downs for this Tennessee defense. So they
27:59
Speaker 1: stopped the run. Their good on third down, So that
28:01
Speaker 1: can mean some good things a lot of times when
28:04
Speaker 1: you have those two things going for you, Bucky, Yeah,
28:07
Speaker 1: I mean, those are the things that's the name of
28:09
Speaker 1: the game. Like, you have to be able to do it.
28:10
Speaker 1: You have to be able to stop the run. You
28:11
Speaker 1: have to be able to control a third down because
28:13
Speaker 1: you gotta get off the field and money downs. We
28:15
Speaker 1: saw that last week. When you don't get off the
28:17
Speaker 1: field and money downs, it hurts you because teams continue
28:19
Speaker 1: to sustain drives and then you get worn down and
28:22
Speaker 1: then they have their way with you. Uh. The Tennessee
28:24
Speaker 1: Titans are UH an excellent team because they play a
28:29
Speaker 1: game that is different than the way most teams play
28:31
Speaker 1: their old school They're very physical. They play complimentary ball
28:35
Speaker 1: where they're running game matches, a very physical defense that
28:38
Speaker 1: wants to get after you. And when you look at
28:40
Speaker 1: their defense, their defense has steadily improved over the course
28:44
Speaker 1: of the year. UH. This one of the biggest tests
28:46
Speaker 1: and challenges that we will face, UM because we stood
28:49
Speaker 1: tall against most physical teams. But this is a little
28:52
Speaker 1: different because this team also has the middle advantage because
28:55
Speaker 1: they want so many games in a row. Yeah, I
28:58
Speaker 1: talk all the time about it's sort of a different
29:01
Speaker 1: way of saying with Bucky just said, I like teams
29:03
Speaker 1: that know how, they that know what they are, and
29:08
Speaker 1: the Titans, to me are are the perfect example that.
29:11
Speaker 1: I don't know that they're incredibly more talented than the Jaguars,
29:15
Speaker 1: but Doug Peterson said it during his press conference today.
29:18
Speaker 1: They have guys who you can tell have played together. Uh.
29:22
Speaker 1: Doug respects that a lot because I know he's trying
29:24
Speaker 1: to get there with this team. It's why he keeps
29:26
Speaker 1: talking about second year with Trevor Lawrence and these guys
29:29
Speaker 1: playing together. The Titans have a lot of guys who
29:33
Speaker 1: know how the Titans want to play. And it looks ugly.
29:38
Speaker 1: Remember Jaguars fan of week three or four emailing me
29:42
Speaker 1: about whether the Titans are terrible. Look at him there,
29:45
Speaker 1: two and two. They're terrible. They're an average team and
29:48
Speaker 1: they're gonna Well, they might look that way, but somehow
29:52
Speaker 1: under rabeled, they never really are that way, if you
29:54
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I think that's because they play
29:56
Speaker 1: so well together and what they are. I agree with Buckey.
29:58
Speaker 1: I think it's a huge test. That's why I would
30:00
Speaker 1: be so impressed if we're getting on the plane on
30:02
Speaker 1: on Sunday and they've won that because I think it
30:05
Speaker 1: would it would be much like Baltimore, where when you
30:08
Speaker 1: beat that team, you know you've beat a team that's
30:11
Speaker 1: not going to give you the game. Uh. So, I
30:15
Speaker 1: don't like their chances Sunday, but I would sure like
30:18
Speaker 1: it for the Jaguars if they came out there with
30:20
Speaker 1: the wind because of those reasons. How about up front
30:24
Speaker 1: for this Tennessee defense, Bucky uh Simmons is kind of
30:27
Speaker 1: the guy that that starts things in the middle of
30:30
Speaker 1: that defensive line. Yeah, it's all about him. I mean,
30:33
Speaker 1: most talented teams, most championship caliber teams, they have to
30:37
Speaker 1: have someone on the inside who also can stop the run,
30:39
Speaker 1: who can stop the run and also get after the pass.
30:42
Speaker 1: Simmons is that they took a chance on the kid
30:44
Speaker 1: when he was coming out of Missing State, he was
30:45
Speaker 1: dealing with the injury. They drafted him in the first
30:47
Speaker 1: round anyway, and man, he has been everything that they
30:49
Speaker 1: could have hoped for on the interior, I mean, a
30:52
Speaker 1: dominant into your presence, a guy who is physical, he
30:55
Speaker 1: has great athleticism, he's heavy handed, he just can beat
30:58
Speaker 1: you up at the line of scrimmage. And he has
31:00
Speaker 1: a knack for getting into the quarterback end. As he
31:03
Speaker 1: is the guy that kind of sets the tone, it
31:05
Speaker 1: allows to other guys to kind of eat off of
31:07
Speaker 1: his leftovers. And so this is a game where inside, um,
31:12
Speaker 1: this is why you get Brenden Shuff and this is
31:13
Speaker 1: why you kind of committed to getting some of these
31:15
Speaker 1: other guys on the inside to make sure that Trevor
31:17
Speaker 1: Lawrence or whoever is playing quarterback on Sunday are protected.
31:20
Speaker 1: But this is a tough, tough challenge because this guy
31:24
Speaker 1: is an All Star. This guy is an All Pro
31:26
Speaker 1: caliber defendant that is playing for Tennessee in the midlity
31:29
Speaker 1: of defense. Yeah, I said somewhere this week. I think
31:33
Speaker 1: it's as big a test for the offense as it
31:35
Speaker 1: is for the Jaguars defense because you're going up in
31:39
Speaker 1: I guess it's going to be just a frigid cold
31:41
Speaker 1: like some of these Tennessee games, but it's not gonna
31:43
Speaker 1: be warm. And you're coming off a game as an
31:46
Speaker 1: offense where you sort of spent the whole season thinking
31:50
Speaker 1: improving that you're really improved offense, and you felt really
31:55
Speaker 1: improved after after two or three weeks, and you went
31:57
Speaker 1: up last week and you know, the offense wasn't as
32:01
Speaker 1: bad as the defense, but he but it gave a
32:04
Speaker 1: lot of way. You know, an early fumble though Trevor
32:07
Speaker 1: played better than the stats show because all the drops,
32:09
Speaker 1: but you didn't get it done offensively. And now to
32:12
Speaker 1: win this game Sunday, you have to go up and
32:14
Speaker 1: play well in a tough environment against a really good defense.
32:18
Speaker 1: You know, if if the Jaguars offense could go up
32:21
Speaker 1: and get seven and and feel like they're twenty four
32:24
Speaker 1: twenty seven that you earned, that would be an incredibly
32:27
Speaker 1: impressive performance. I don't know that they can do it,
32:30
Speaker 1: but it's on the offense a little bit, because you
32:32
Speaker 1: know the defense probably is not going to come out
32:34
Speaker 1: and play lights out. So the Jaguars offen at some
32:36
Speaker 1: point has start going and proving they can do it consistently.
32:43
Speaker 1: It's a big test. I keep saying over and over again,
32:47
Speaker 1: it's a huge test. And if the Jaguars office can
32:49
Speaker 1: do something like that, then how much better would you
32:52
Speaker 1: feel about that? As a unit? You feel great about it?
32:56
Speaker 1: I know you talked about earning points or whatever. I
32:58
Speaker 1: don't really care. How do they get the points to
33:00
Speaker 1: get them a special teams I don't care to get
33:01
Speaker 1: pick six and scooping scores. Uh, the Jaguars gotta put
33:04
Speaker 1: up twenty four more points they have a chance to win.
33:06
Speaker 1: The one thing about the way the Titans play, they
33:09
Speaker 1: allow you to hanging games. And some of the problems
33:12
Speaker 1: that they've had is because they've had maybe superior talent
33:15
Speaker 1: to some of the teams that they've lost, but because
33:17
Speaker 1: their style of play, because they're kind of a grind
33:19
Speaker 1: it out offense, like we've seen early in the year
33:22
Speaker 1: against the Houston Texans. Because they're like a team like
33:24
Speaker 1: the New York Giants, they will allow you to hang around,
33:28
Speaker 1: but you have to take advantage of your opportunities. When
33:31
Speaker 1: you cash in and when you get into the red zone,
33:32
Speaker 1: you gotta score touchdowns. You can't set up for field goals,
33:35
Speaker 1: and if you can force a turnover, you have to
33:36
Speaker 1: turn that into points. What you would like to do
33:39
Speaker 1: in the perfect world, you want to make this team
33:41
Speaker 1: chase points because in the past game, when I talk
33:44
Speaker 1: about Ryan Tannehill and Traylon Bergs, and uh Bobby Trees
33:48
Speaker 1: or they call him Robert Woods. I mean like, you
33:51
Speaker 1: have to be able to put you gotta be able
33:54
Speaker 1: to put it up. You gotta put points on the board.
33:56
Speaker 1: So whatever happens, they gotta forgeta wait to create points
33:59
Speaker 1: and make the tennis tits had put points up his games.
34:02
Speaker 1: JP where you feel like if the Jaguars are walking
34:05
Speaker 1: off the field first quarter and a half with field goals,
34:09
Speaker 1: that they've probably left too many on the field and
34:11
Speaker 1: at some point Derrick Henry is gonna, yeah, be Derrick Henry.
34:15
Speaker 1: Guys are falling off of them. That's not ideal. Hey,

Speaker 1: great honor and and Shatley today in the locker room
36:17
Speaker 1: was fantastic, just um, you know for him glowing, I
36:22
Speaker 1: would say about the nomination and deserved and uh, he's
36:27
Speaker 1: a guy that that I expect to be around the Jaguars. Uh,
36:33
Speaker 1: respected by fans, protected by the organization along after he retires,
36:36
Speaker 1: you know, not everybody sort of hangs around and is
36:39
Speaker 1: still associated with the franchise. I would expect it for
36:43
Speaker 1: him to be one of those long time not Jaguars
36:45
Speaker 1: alumni who you always feel great about, saying, a good
36:48
Speaker 1: guy and uh, very happy and bucky his stories, I
36:52
Speaker 1: mean strong. He was an undrafted guy, came in, he
36:55
Speaker 1: played off played offense in college. They switched him over
36:58
Speaker 1: and just kind of found a way to stick around
37:00
Speaker 1: after different regime over and over and over again. The
37:03
Speaker 1: one constant really has been him. Yeah, he has been
37:07
Speaker 1: the one constant. And what you like about him is
37:09
Speaker 1: he's kind of a self made man. He's he's been
37:12
Speaker 1: through some scars. He's a dependable and trustworthy veteran. Uh,
37:16
Speaker 1: He's a guy can play multiple spots. Uh. You talk
37:18
Speaker 1: about his football character in terms of all the work
37:21
Speaker 1: ethic and stuff, but then being a great guy in
37:23
Speaker 1: the community. Uh, sometimes that plays well on your roster
37:26
Speaker 1: because as you're trying to build your ross and you
37:28
Speaker 1: talk about cultural fits, he's a cultural fit, which is
37:31
Speaker 1: why he's been able to outlast maybe some more talented
37:35
Speaker 1: players at his position to continue to be a Jaguars.
37:37
Speaker 1: So has off to him for all these contributions in
37:40
Speaker 1: the community. And look, man, he will go down obviously
37:43
Speaker 1: as one of the best Jaguars, not necessarily for what
37:46
Speaker 1: he did in between the lines before what he's done
37:48
Speaker 1: to the community to make lives better in Jacksonville. Well,
37:52
Speaker 1: and at that spot JP, you have to have there's
37:59
Speaker 1: starters in the NFL, and is also key guys in
38:01
Speaker 1: the NFL. You have to have a guy on the
38:06
Speaker 1: interior who you know can step in if your starters
38:10
Speaker 1: are out and and for years he was that guy there.
38:13
Speaker 1: There's three stars on the interior, but that fourth guy
38:16
Speaker 1: you have to have. You have to have guys who
38:17
Speaker 1: can snap. You have you have guys who can do it,
38:20
Speaker 1: and Shatley has been that guy forever around here. So yeah,
38:23
Speaker 1: credit to him. Let's get to our social media question today.
38:27
Speaker 1: We got on Twitter a little earlier. We'll put the
38:29
Speaker 1: Cat's signal out. And here's what we came up with today,
38:32
Speaker 1: and it's at up, Tom. Is it better to keep
38:37
Speaker 1: building the offense around Trevor? Do we have to address
38:39
Speaker 1: all that he's on defense in the draft? Okay, it's yes,
38:43
Speaker 1: there's five games to go. There are a lot of
38:44
Speaker 1: people kind of looking towards the off season already. There's
38:47
Speaker 1: still a lot to be done this season though. Um,
38:51
Speaker 1: but as we've talked about today, at this point it's
38:54
Speaker 1: week fourteen, you kind of know what you are for
38:56
Speaker 1: this season, whether they win, lose, whatever happens down the stretch.
39:00
Speaker 1: What do you think here, Bucky? Uh, you know there's
39:04
Speaker 1: something to be said for building an offensive around Tresor
39:06
Speaker 1: because you want to have one side of the ball
39:07
Speaker 1: that can be dominant while the other stide is getting better.
39:10
Speaker 1: And so it appears right now offensively, Uh, that has
39:13
Speaker 1: probably the quickest uh chance of the quickst opportunity to
39:17
Speaker 1: come up to stuff. And so I think what you
39:19
Speaker 1: want to do is you want to make sure that
39:20
Speaker 1: you surround him with enough people that allows him to shine.
39:24
Speaker 1: Another running back, another playmaker. Maybe it tied end fortifying
39:28
Speaker 1: the offensive line. There's still some more weapons that you're
39:31
Speaker 1: can add around him to have his game continue to evolve.
39:34
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think right now it has to be
39:35
Speaker 1: about the quarterback because it's gonna take a few more
39:38
Speaker 1: pieces on defense to get that group from I would
39:41
Speaker 1: say down near the bottom to maybe middle of the
39:43
Speaker 1: pack at least offensively, you have a chance to maybe
39:46
Speaker 1: put together an elite unit that can maybe you can
39:48
Speaker 1: win games, and a shootout to the defense kind of
39:50
Speaker 1: evens up a little bit. Yeah, I'm never one necessarily
39:55
Speaker 1: to you say you have to go get this in
39:59
Speaker 1: the draft because I'm just such a believer that, especially
40:02
Speaker 1: in that top ten, you better make sure that your
40:05
Speaker 1: top ten pick next year is a premium elite player
40:09
Speaker 1: no matter where you get it with, this team needs
40:11
Speaker 1: great players. Uh. That being said, if everything is equal, Uh,
40:18
Speaker 1: I don't know how you I don't know how you
40:20
Speaker 1: ignore a corner on this roster right now. You know,
40:24
Speaker 1: if if you're sitting there at seven and there's a
40:27
Speaker 1: corner that you believe is a great player, I don't
40:31
Speaker 1: know how you pass them up because they don't have
40:34
Speaker 1: you don't you don't you get two of them, you
40:37
Speaker 1: get one in the draft, you wanted free agency, you
40:39
Speaker 1: try and find another one. I think the one number
40:41
Speaker 1: thing that we know we don't cover well enough on
40:44
Speaker 1: the perimeter. You've gotta completely overhaul that position. You have
40:47
Speaker 1: to make sure that you have enough bodies that can play,
40:51
Speaker 1: and they have to play the style that Doug Peterson
40:53
Speaker 1: decides that he wants to play, whether that ben but
40:55
Speaker 1: don't break, meaning guys that are great with eyes and
40:58
Speaker 1: and their feed and they can all hawk from depth
41:01
Speaker 1: if that's they want to play more man to man
41:03
Speaker 1: and go up and kind of snuff people out at
41:05
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage, whatever that is. You need to
41:07
Speaker 1: get a variety of them because right now, outside of
41:10
Speaker 1: Tyson Campbell, he's the only one that I feel really
41:12
Speaker 1: really good about in terms of being a guy that's
41:15
Speaker 1: gonna play at a high level eventually for this team. Alright,
41:18
Speaker 1: huddle up with Bucky Brooks. Brought to you by a
41:20
Speaker 1: Fields Auto Group, Jacksonville. Step up to Luxury Fields Auto
41:23
Speaker 1: dot com. John, How you feeling about this one? With
41:26
Speaker 1: your your dog with Antler's cup. It's a holiday season, Happy,
41:31
Speaker 1: happy holidays. Thanks? How about the game? So that's what
41:37
Speaker 1: it says in the inside the cup. Um, that's where
41:40
Speaker 1: my life is Buck, But I don't feel great about it.
41:44
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see how you can the way
41:46
Speaker 1: they played, the way their defense was, and um, it's
41:53
Speaker 1: it's hard to feel great about it. But I do
41:56
Speaker 1: think last week's game was an admiration in terms of
41:59
Speaker 1: the level that they reached. I think they will play
42:02
Speaker 1: better than that. Um, I will be surprised if it
42:07
Speaker 1: is a and four. The last five or six seasons,
42:11
Speaker 1: it's been ugly in Tennessee. Uh, and it's it. It
42:16
Speaker 1: has felt like a game that has defined poor seasons
42:20
Speaker 1: the last four or five year or the last four
42:23
Speaker 1: last five years or whatever it was. Last year they
42:25
Speaker 1: got shut out up there there was the game they
42:29
Speaker 1: get blown already, just right, they get blown up. I
42:32
Speaker 1: don't think they I don't think that happens. I don't
42:35
Speaker 1: know that they can go up and win on the
42:38
Speaker 1: road against Tennessee in a game that matters to Tennessee.
42:42
Speaker 1: But I don't think they get blown out. That's sort
42:43
Speaker 1: of how I feel about it, Bucky. I mean, I
42:47
Speaker 1: think they won't be as bad as they were last week.
42:49
Speaker 1: I think they were embarrassing. Typically, when you're having a
42:51
Speaker 1: performance like that, you come out more focused in the
42:54
Speaker 1: practice week, you tend to play better. Tennessee is dealing
42:57
Speaker 1: with their own uh so level of adversity with your
43:01
Speaker 1: general manager being fired while you have a winning record
43:04
Speaker 1: and you on top of the league, and so there's
43:05
Speaker 1: something going on room. I think Tennessee could be vulnerable. Um,
43:09
Speaker 1: they've lost a couple of games in a row. They
43:11
Speaker 1: haven't played great football. I think it comes down to
43:14
Speaker 1: the Jaguars ability to stop dear Kenny and make Ryan
43:17
Speaker 1: Tannehill have to win the game. I think it's gonna
43:19
Speaker 1: be tighter. I can't say that I'm a predict, like
43:23
Speaker 1: with a lead pipe lock, that they're gonna win, but
43:25
Speaker 1: I think it'd be a tighter game. I think they'll
43:26
Speaker 1: play all right. It sounds like a lock to me.
43:30
Speaker 1: I know a lock. I can smell a lock and
43:32
Speaker 1: that that's a lock. That's what that was. Bucky, have
43:36
Speaker 1: a great week. Appreciate you as always. Hey man, I
