Speaker 1: Welcome to Huddle Up, brought you by the Fields Total

Speaker 1: Brooks Jaguars Senior writer John Osher, NFL Network analyst and
0:10
Speaker 1: former Jaguar Bucky Brooks, and senior reporter JP Shaddrick bring
0:15
Speaker 1: you the latest on your Jacksonville Jaguars.
0:19
Speaker 2: Huddle Up starts right now.
0:21
Speaker 3: Welcome in. It is Wednesday.
0:23
Speaker 4: It is Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks ahead of week nine,
0:26
Speaker 4: the Jaguars and the Raiders coming up in Las Vegas
0:30
Speaker 4: and coming up on the show, our last look at
0:32
Speaker 4: the bye week. We'll do a little self scouting on
0:35
Speaker 4: Huddle Up. First look at the Las Vegas Raiders. They're
0:39
Speaker 4: two and five, and how to slow down Max Crosby
0:43
Speaker 4: the defensive end, Rock Powers the tight end could be
0:46
Speaker 4: back out there after a couple of games off to
0:49
Speaker 4: the side, and the Jaguars round of course, cut down
0:51
Speaker 4: those self inflicted mistakes. We'll get to all that. Jp Shaddrick,
0:54
Speaker 4: John Oser. We're at the Hunday studios at the Mill
0:56
Speaker 4: Electric Center. Bucky Brooks is in Los Angeles and this
1:01
Speaker 4: is the Bucky Brooks Bowl this week. Raiders is Jaguars,
1:05
Speaker 4: absolutely it is Bucky.
1:07
Speaker 5: I don't know if we can say as to Bucky
1:08
Speaker 5: Brooks Bowl.
1:09
Speaker 6: When Bucky Brooks has like five to seven teams that
1:12
Speaker 6: he can claim based on his playing and scouting careers,
1:16
Speaker 6: I don't think this would be a ball.
1:17
Speaker 4: I don't know. Com the other day and Bucky Brooks
1:22
Speaker 4: is all over that website too well.
1:24
Speaker 6: I mean, I have an opinion. I have an opinion,
1:26
Speaker 6: So sometimes ask for the opinion.
1:27
Speaker 5: I give it.
1:29
Speaker 6: They can get the opinion if you're asked.
1:32
Speaker 2: Notice he's he's wearing a black hoodie today.
1:35
Speaker 3: You know, Okay high school.
1:40
Speaker 2: Great.
1:40
Speaker 7: He's wearing his great head coach Hodi.
1:43
Speaker 4: It's one of the classic moments of the combine. John,
1:46
Speaker 4: you and I are there, Bucky's there. He sits down
1:50
Speaker 4: with us, does something, and then literally goes like four
1:53
Speaker 4: tables over, change his sweatshirts into a Raiders sweatshirt and
1:56
Speaker 4: does their thing.
1:58
Speaker 6: He's quick, I would say, a JP, and you're on
2:02
Speaker 6: the verge of doing these things.
2:03
Speaker 5: Like I would say, that was a gift back.
2:05
Speaker 6: So I show up to do the interview and they
2:08
Speaker 6: gifted me a sweatshirt. So like anyone who was a
2:13
Speaker 6: Southern gentleman who had great hospitality would do, I take
2:17
Speaker 6: it and I dot it like you should.
2:19
Speaker 5: That's all. It was a gift. It is rude to
2:24
Speaker 5: not take gifts when they're given to you. It's a gift.
2:27
Speaker 2: That's very nice, you know what that is.
2:29
Speaker 7: That's a great hospitality cop out. That's what a sweatshirt says.
2:38
Speaker 5: Wow.
2:39
Speaker 4: All right, So we'll get into the Raiders coming up
2:41
Speaker 4: in just a little bit. But you know, coming out
2:44
Speaker 4: of the bye week, we've I feel that this is
2:47
Speaker 4: always a strange one, John, because we talked about this
2:49
Speaker 4: the other day, you and I.
2:51
Speaker 3: Coming out of the.
2:52
Speaker 4: Bye week, it feels like we've covered all these things
2:54
Speaker 4: over and over. There's no game to review, but it's
2:58
Speaker 4: a lot of the same things we talk the inconsistencies,
3:01
Speaker 4: the drops, the penalties, and you know, big picture things
3:06
Speaker 4: for this team. They're four and three, but there's a
3:09
Speaker 4: lot of things that could be working on well.
3:10
Speaker 7: And then you also had sort of the double whammy
3:12
Speaker 7: of the last two games before the buye for the Jags.
3:18
Speaker 7: They weren't the same game because everybody's lumped him together,
3:21
Speaker 7: and they didn't get blown out by Seattle. They weren't uncompetitive,
3:25
Speaker 7: but some of the same issues were the issues the
3:29
Speaker 7: control and the controllables, the defensive line on the other
3:32
Speaker 7: side of the ball being very strong and then losing.
3:36
Speaker 7: So it feels like it's been the same topic for
3:39
Speaker 7: three weeks, for three weeks in a row. The good
3:43
Speaker 7: thing is you've got a game this week and it's
3:45
Speaker 7: a winnable game with different matchups. But to me, Bucky
3:49
Speaker 7: the key still is around here this week. Everybody's asking
3:53
Speaker 7: about different stuff, and Liam sort of has the same
3:57
Speaker 7: theme on all the answers that I think he's right. Look,
4:00
Speaker 7: we can't be behind the chains offensively and expect to
4:04
Speaker 7: be a run centric, physical team, and you have to
4:10
Speaker 7: play smart in this league to be physical.
4:13
Speaker 2: Right. Is there something there?
4:15
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's something there.
4:16
Speaker 6: If you're gonna be a run first team, or first
4:18
Speaker 6: down is the most important down, and whatever you elect
4:21
Speaker 6: to do on first down, whether it's runner or passage,
4:23
Speaker 6: you have to get four yards because you have to
4:25
Speaker 6: be in second and six to be able to be
4:27
Speaker 6: in what we call a mixed down situation, meaning you
4:29
Speaker 6: can use a mix of.
4:31
Speaker 5: Run or pass on those downs.
4:33
Speaker 6: If you're sitting at second and eight and then at
4:36
Speaker 6: third or six plus, those are long yard of situations
4:39
Speaker 6: where the run is not an option, and what that
4:41
Speaker 6: allows the defense to do is to pin their ears back,
4:44
Speaker 6: attack the quarterback, bring exotic pressures, change with the exotic coverages,
4:49
Speaker 6: and all those things that make it very, very difficult
4:51
Speaker 6: to move the ball consistently.
4:53
Speaker 5: In the NFL.
4:54
Speaker 6: The reason why the running game is important is because
4:57
Speaker 6: if you can stay ahead of the chains, it prevents
4:59
Speaker 6: teams from pinning there is back and going after the quarterback.
5:04
Speaker 6: But you can't do it if you do not win
5:06
Speaker 6: first downs. So on some of those first downs, when
5:08
Speaker 6: they elect to pass, they must get a completion and
5:11
Speaker 6: they have to get positive yards because it's about staying
5:14
Speaker 6: on schedule that allows you to stay with the running game.
5:16
Speaker 7: So those drop passes and self inflicted sacks, which ever
5:19
Speaker 7: had a few against the Rams, hurt the running game
5:22
Speaker 7: because it reduces opportunity to get there.
5:25
Speaker 2: I sort of loved it.
5:25
Speaker 7: I think it was after the Rams game when Liam
5:27
Speaker 7: was asked about this and about the run pass balance,
5:31
Speaker 7: and you can kind of see it on his face
5:32
Speaker 7: of you know, I mean second and third and long
5:34
Speaker 7: all day and I'm down twenty eighth, so I'm supposed
5:37
Speaker 7: to run. And as a play caller, he knows he's
5:41
Speaker 7: got to have run pass balance. To me, one of
5:44
Speaker 7: the major things that I noticed and liked early was
5:48
Speaker 7: as long as games were relatively close, he was doing
5:52
Speaker 7: a nice job of staying with the run even when
5:55
Speaker 7: it felt like it wasn't working. That's hard to It's
5:58
Speaker 7: probably the hardest thing to do as a play caller
6:01
Speaker 7: is stay committed to that when every instinct is saying
6:03
Speaker 7: we got to have seven here. I thought he did
6:06
Speaker 7: a nice job with that. But Bucky, when you're down
6:09
Speaker 7: twenty one in the second half and you're in like
6:12
Speaker 7: second and twelve, you know, where's my run play, I'm
6:17
Speaker 7: tossing that legal path away.
6:19
Speaker 5: Yeah, I gotta say this.
6:19
Speaker 6: I've been really impressed with Liam as a head coach
6:22
Speaker 6: for many reasons, and one of the reasons is his
6:25
Speaker 6: ability to be very transparent when it comes to his
6:27
Speaker 6: thought process calling plays, and he is right as much
6:30
Speaker 6: as he would love to run it and to make
6:32
Speaker 6: sure that the team is balanced and physical and those things.
6:35
Speaker 5: If you have.
6:38
Speaker 6: You lack the efficiency on early downs, it prevents you
6:40
Speaker 6: from being able to stick to your game plan. Now,
6:43
Speaker 6: some of the reasons why the Jacks have been inefficient
6:45
Speaker 6: of late self inflicted mistakes. What you talked about blowing assignments, penalties,
6:51
Speaker 6: drop passes, not executing at a high level on those downs.
6:55
Speaker 6: It's preventing this team from playing like it played earlier
6:58
Speaker 6: in the year, when they were able to established a
7:00
Speaker 6: run game physically imposed the well known people. The great
7:04
Speaker 6: thing about the Boye week it gives you an opportunity
7:06
Speaker 6: to reset, refocus, and kind of put a new plan
7:11
Speaker 6: in place to make sure that you stay on track
7:13
Speaker 6: going forward. I'm excited to see not only what they
7:15
Speaker 6: do against the Raiders, but how they attacked the rest
7:18
Speaker 6: of the season now that they've taken all that information,
7:20
Speaker 6: cleaned up everything, and now are you able to attack
7:22
Speaker 6: it with a fresh set of eyes.
7:24
Speaker 4: And we'll get a good look at what the defense
7:26
Speaker 4: did as well during the by week. Any changers there,
7:29
Speaker 4: and you know, William Cone actually hinted today that they
7:33
Speaker 4: might look at some different scenarios in the secondary for
7:37
Speaker 4: coverages and players out there take some load off. We'll
7:40
Speaker 4: see what happens with that. Obviously, the sack numbers aren't there.
7:44
Speaker 4: They have the least amount of sacks in the NFL,
7:47
Speaker 4: but they are still very high on the takeaway list
7:50
Speaker 4: because of what they did early in the season.
7:52
Speaker 5: They haven't had won the.
7:52
Speaker 3: Last two weeks, So where are you defensively with this team, Bucky?
7:57
Speaker 5: Look, man, I still believe in the defense.
7:58
Speaker 6: I love what Anthony Kivnil is done in terms of
8:01
Speaker 6: creating a mindset where these guys are turnover obsessed and
8:04
Speaker 6: we know that the turnovers. Winning the turnover battle is
8:07
Speaker 6: the easiest way to win games in this league. So
8:09
Speaker 6: then a great job of knocking the ball loose, taking
8:11
Speaker 6: the ball away on tips and overthrows and those things.
8:14
Speaker 6: But much like we talked about on offense about winning
8:17
Speaker 6: early downs and how that sets the table for the offense,
8:21
Speaker 6: same thing on defense. You got to be able to
8:23
Speaker 6: win on early downs so you can force them in
8:25
Speaker 6: the long yard of situations, heat up the pass rush
8:28
Speaker 6: when you're playing coverage behind it, and then you're able
8:30
Speaker 6: to get those sacks.
8:32
Speaker 5: You're able to get those.
8:32
Speaker 6: Splash plays, the interceptions and all that. Earlier in the
8:36
Speaker 6: year when we were stopping to run, we were getting
8:39
Speaker 6: the turnovers.
8:40
Speaker 5: It all works hand in hand.
8:42
Speaker 6: Win first down and then the fun stuff happens on
8:45
Speaker 6: those other downs.
8:46
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm not worried about the defense because again, I
8:51
Speaker 7: don't think this is a top five defense. Statistically, you're
8:56
Speaker 7: not going to look at this defense the end of
8:57
Speaker 7: the season say, boy, they dominated every week. But I
9:01
Speaker 7: because I think it's moving toward that. Personnel wise, I
9:04
Speaker 7: don't think they were able to get this offseason everything
9:07
Speaker 7: they wanted to do done. But with who they've got,
9:12
Speaker 7: except for the Rams game, they've stopped the run pretty well.
9:15
Speaker 7: They stopped the run against Seattle so and they weren't
9:20
Speaker 7: as good against the run against LA But it wasn't
9:23
Speaker 7: It wasn't like it was Katie bar the door.
9:24
Speaker 2: It was sure.
9:26
Speaker 7: You know, when a team gets up the way the
9:28
Speaker 7: Rams did, it's easier for them to play call their
9:31
Speaker 7: way into good situations with the run.
9:33
Speaker 2: As long as they can stop.
9:34
Speaker 7: The run, you know, aggregately or whatever it is, as
9:38
Speaker 7: well as they did with the first seven games, they're
9:41
Speaker 7: going in these last ten games, they're gonna play good
9:45
Speaker 7: defense eight or nine times. And if you played good
9:48
Speaker 7: defense eight or nine times or the course of a game,
9:51
Speaker 7: you're gonna get your opportunities to get turnovers. Plus, I'm
9:56
Speaker 7: assuming they're going to get Trayvon back to full speed
9:58
Speaker 7: and Devon back to full speed at some point point.
10:00
Speaker 7: Getting Trayvon back, I don't think it gould be a
10:04
Speaker 7: great pass rushing team this year, but they're a more
10:07
Speaker 7: disruptive front consistently, and they wreck more things when he's
10:13
Speaker 7: in the game healthy with two hands. So I do
10:17
Speaker 7: think there is a lot of hope for them to
10:19
Speaker 7: play better than average defense the rest of the year.
10:23
Speaker 5: Yeah, so look, I think there's great hope.
10:27
Speaker 6: I think it's also about getting the personnel that you
10:29
Speaker 6: talked about, getting the guys back healthy in those things,
10:32
Speaker 6: the different combinations in the secondary, I think that's interesting
10:34
Speaker 6: to me. My intenna goes off on they're trying to
10:37
Speaker 6: find a way to get Travis Hunter on the field
10:39
Speaker 6: and trying to find a way to get him regularly
10:41
Speaker 6: on the field, maybe without so much of the Hodgepodge
10:45
Speaker 6: scenarios that they've been doing early. So if you have
10:49
Speaker 6: different personnel groupings where you can call out Tiger or
10:52
Speaker 6: Bear or whatever it is where he's in, it's a
10:55
Speaker 6: much easier way to get him in and ensure that
10:57
Speaker 6: he's on the field. Those set numbers plays that they
11:00
Speaker 6: would like him beyond the field on.
11:02
Speaker 7: Defense should he be Bucky and I was kind of
11:05
Speaker 7: laughing against the Rams, I would have just yelled out Davante.
11:09
Speaker 2: But and I'm being a.
11:12
Speaker 7: Little facetious there, but is there a way? It's so
11:16
Speaker 7: hard because DeVante scored three touchdowns, So in retrospect, you'd
11:20
Speaker 7: like to say, well, you'd have liked for Travis to
11:22
Speaker 7: have been covering him on those three plays, but you
11:24
Speaker 7: can't do that. But is there a way to get
11:29
Speaker 7: him on best receiver in big situations? As soon as
11:35
Speaker 7: I say that, that's hard because they're mostly his own team.
11:37
Speaker 7: So is there a path to what I'm talking about?
11:41
Speaker 7: Or is that just me being like football idiot, which
11:43
Speaker 7: I'm good.
11:44
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, no, no no.
11:45
Speaker 6: There are ways that you can do things like it's
11:47
Speaker 6: very similar to in basketball when you play a box
11:50
Speaker 6: in one where you kind of zone around one person,
11:53
Speaker 6: and so you have Travis Hunter potentially maybe working on
11:56
Speaker 6: the outside or in the slide, and you zone everything else.
11:58
Speaker 6: There's things that you can do to tap into some
12:01
Speaker 6: of those skills. But I also think he is just
12:04
Speaker 6: so good in terms of just the instincts, the reactions
12:06
Speaker 6: playing in their traditional zones.
12:08
Speaker 5: I would just like him on the field more.
12:10
Speaker 6: And when you make the trade to get Greg Newsome
12:13
Speaker 6: and you have Jordan Lewis who was terrific at Nickel
12:16
Speaker 6: and you have Buster Brown who is playing well in
12:19
Speaker 6: Travis Hunt.
12:20
Speaker 5: Maybe this becomes more of a dime.
12:22
Speaker 6: Team, or you do different things where maybe you have
12:25
Speaker 6: three linemen on the field and two linebackers and seventy
12:28
Speaker 6: b's whatever it is, sixty b's, but you use various
12:32
Speaker 6: combinations to get the best players on the field, and
12:35
Speaker 6: ultimately this about putting the best eleven on the field.
12:38
Speaker 6: This we reset this week is give me a chance
12:41
Speaker 6: to evaluate the tape and find who are the best
12:43
Speaker 6: eleven for certain situations. Let's make sure we have those
12:46
Speaker 6: guys on the field in those key moments.
12:48
Speaker 4: All right, guys, let's come back and get into this
12:50
Speaker 4: Raiders football team.
12:52
Speaker 3: Two and five. We'll touch on the duck.
12:58
Speaker 4: Yeah, one of them surprises wearing an iPad today, Bucky.
13:03
Speaker 3: Back in a moment.
13:05
Speaker 4: Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks brought to you by Fields

13:13
Speaker 4: Tuddle Up with Bucky Brooks.
13:22
Speaker 5: Creature for sure.
13:25
Speaker 8: Just the strain, the relentless effort, the batted balls, I
13:30
Speaker 8: mean they lead the National Football League right now and
13:32
Speaker 8: tip balls as a as a defense as a group,
13:36
Speaker 8: you know so long, you know so long that initially,
13:41
Speaker 8: like if your eyes as a quarterback or maybe at
13:43
Speaker 8: your number one read right away and it's a quick
13:46
Speaker 8: game or whatever it is, he does a great job
13:48
Speaker 8: of getting his hands on balls. And then if it
13:51
Speaker 8: is a little bit of a longer developing pass play,
13:54
Speaker 8: well that's when you just kind of see him relentlessly
13:57
Speaker 8: strain and uh, you know, he's just long in terms
14:01
Speaker 8: of his legs, the bounding, his ability to get to
14:03
Speaker 8: the quarterback. And then the ways played the run, they
14:06
Speaker 8: played the run well as a defense.

Speaker 4: Jaguars Raiders Week Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The site
14:38
Speaker 4: four oh five eastern kickoff time. This Sunday and Week nine,
14:41
Speaker 4: second straight year, the Jaguars have been in Las Vegas
14:45
Speaker 4: and they're gonna face this Max Crosby led defense. That's
14:49
Speaker 4: who Liam Cohen was referencing there for sacks on the
14:52
Speaker 4: season for Crosby nine quarterback hits. He still plays like
14:57
Speaker 4: every down right, Bucky, what's the story with ma excels year?
15:01
Speaker 6: Look, man, When he plays, he plays at a high level.
15:03
Speaker 6: He is a high motive player, a guy that is
15:06
Speaker 6: relentless in his pursuit of the quarterback. He's unique because
15:09
Speaker 6: he's a power rusher, so he can give you problems
15:12
Speaker 6: if you're not able to set an anchor versus him,
15:15
Speaker 6: and then he kind of sets the table for the
15:16
Speaker 6: rest of their defense. When you talk about a guy
15:19
Speaker 6: playing with the kind of energy that you want to
15:21
Speaker 6: see from a level player, that is what Max Crosby does.
15:25
Speaker 6: And as he gets going, the rest of the team
15:29
Speaker 6: feeds off his competitiveness, his toughness, all the energetic stuff that.
15:33
Speaker 5: He brings to the table.
15:34
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's a lot of respect in this building, Rahim,
15:36
Speaker 7: and rightfully so. And it's what makes the Raiders to
15:41
Speaker 7: me dangerous. I get to their two and five, but
15:44
Speaker 7: they have game wrecker and playmaker on offense. You know so,
15:50
Speaker 7: and it's it's a two and five team, but they're
15:52
Speaker 7: playing under a first year head coach and Pete Carroll.
15:56
Speaker 7: This is not gonna be a situation where the two
15:59
Speaker 7: and five team is saying, Okay, you're four and three,
16:03
Speaker 7: come on in here and take the game and let's
16:04
Speaker 7: go home and you know, we'll go back to the desert.
16:07
Speaker 2: I mean, this is good.
16:08
Speaker 7: I think it's gonna be a tough game, partially because
16:12
Speaker 7: the Raiders team that has gotten blown out wasn't the
16:15
Speaker 7: same Raiders team it's gonna be on the field. I'm
16:18
Speaker 7: jumping ahead. But when you have rock Bowers in the game,
16:21
Speaker 7: you know they have a weapon that they can you.
16:25
Speaker 7: So I don't think I don't think this is a
16:27
Speaker 7: gimme at all, even though my senses a lot of
16:29
Speaker 7: fans have this circle.
16:30
Speaker 6: So yeah, I think you have to be really careful
16:33
Speaker 6: in these games two and five. When you look at
16:34
Speaker 6: the record, it's gonna be hard for the outside world
16:36
Speaker 6: to view this as a very competitive game.
16:38
Speaker 5: But we see it each and every week.
16:40
Speaker 6: We saw the New York Judge, not all the Cincinnati
16:41
Speaker 6: Bengals upsets happened in this league all the time.
16:44
Speaker 5: To me, this is a test of the.
16:46
Speaker 6: Maturity of the Jaguars in terms of being able to
16:48
Speaker 6: go on the road take care of business against a
16:51
Speaker 6: team that maybe internally you say, hey, we need to
16:53
Speaker 6: get this, we should get this when we're a better team.
16:56
Speaker 6: The problem that you have is this is a team
16:58
Speaker 6: that's coming off a thirty one zero law who had
17:00
Speaker 6: a bye week, and they're getting their pieces back. So
17:03
Speaker 6: not only are they smarting from that embarrassing loss, they're
17:07
Speaker 6: bringing back a better team when they show up on Sunday,
17:10
Speaker 6: brought Bowers asked in genty, those guys can be problematic
17:15
Speaker 6: because they're right in the middle of the field and
17:17
Speaker 6: so having a plan to deal with the tied end
17:19
Speaker 6: while also snuffing out the running game. That is where
17:21
Speaker 6: it has to start on defense, and then it is
17:24
Speaker 6: about making sure that on offense you take care of Crosby,
17:28
Speaker 6: and you also got to take care of Devin White,
17:30
Speaker 6: the Mike linebacker that has been a Pro Bowl player
17:33
Speaker 6: at Tampa. He is also having a really good year
17:35
Speaker 6: and kind of finding himself back to being a guy
17:38
Speaker 6: that can be a Pro Bowl contended.
17:40
Speaker 4: Is this a Raiders defensive line that the Jags O
17:43
Speaker 4: line can handle. Can they push him around physically get
17:46
Speaker 4: back to that style of play?
17:48
Speaker 5: Well? I think so.
17:49
Speaker 6: I mean, I think outside of Max Crosby, Max Crosby
17:51
Speaker 6: is the headliner, but the rest of those guys are
17:53
Speaker 6: still trying to find their way. They have really good
17:55
Speaker 6: players from Malcolm Cooms's one that you have to keep
17:58
Speaker 6: an eye on.
17:58
Speaker 5: But it's not the same.
18:01
Speaker 6: It's not like those two teams that you're just coming
18:03
Speaker 6: off of playing one. When you play the Seattle Seahawks,
18:06
Speaker 6: you're talking about those young, athletic, hungry defenders that could
18:08
Speaker 6: nominate and in with the Rams. Look, man, a lot
18:11
Speaker 6: to be said for what they have in Jared Vers
18:13
Speaker 6: and Brian Young and some of those other guys. Not
18:15
Speaker 6: quite the same, even though Max Crosby is like an
18:19
Speaker 6: All Pro player in his own right.
18:21
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think this is the tailor made example and
18:26
Speaker 7: probably a good opportunity for the Jaguars in this sense.
18:30
Speaker 7: I don't think the offensive line is like, Wow, we
18:33
Speaker 7: are physically dominant and better than the Raiders defensive line.
18:37
Speaker 7: But I think it's a matchup where if the Jaguars
18:39
Speaker 7: get back to playing like they did earlier in the season.
18:42
Speaker 7: They handled some fine lines. They didn't handle the Seahawks line.
18:45
Speaker 7: But that might be the best and most difficult matchup
18:48
Speaker 7: they play all year.
18:50
Speaker 2: But you know, it always back to what we talked
18:53
Speaker 2: about the top of the show.
18:56
Speaker 7: If this line plays in decent situations, as in not
19:01
Speaker 7: second and twelve, not with receivers dropping the ball, If
19:05
Speaker 7: it plays consistently early, it's a defensive line that this
19:08
Speaker 7: team can handle.
19:10
Speaker 2: This team can handle.
19:11
Speaker 7: Good defensive lines if it doesn't give away situations throughout
19:15
Speaker 7: the entire game. So, yeah, you can get back to that,
19:18
Speaker 7: but don't face second and thirteen on your second offensive play.
19:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, and some of that was on Trevor the other day. Sure, so.
19:26
Speaker 7: Stay smart and stay physical, and this is a game
19:29
Speaker 7: you can win by just playing to your potential as
19:32
Speaker 7: an offensive line.
19:33
Speaker 4: All right, guys, we'll come back in a moment and
19:35
Speaker 4: flip it around the other side. Dig deeper on Brock
19:37
Speaker 4: Powers and Ashton genty and Geno Smith and the receivers
19:42
Speaker 4: for the Las Vegas Raiders, who will entertain the Jacksonville
19:45
Speaker 4: Jaguars this Sunday. And the Jags, of course, are gearing
19:49
Speaker 4: up to face the Chargers Sunday, November sixteenth.
19:51
Speaker 3: It's the annual Salute to Service Game.
19:54
Speaker 4: Join us as we honor and celebrate the brave men
19:56
Speaker 4: and women of our military all game long.
19:58
Speaker 3: Get your seats now.
19:59
Speaker 4: Jaguars dot Com slash checkets are called nine oh four
20:02
Speaker 4: six three three, two thousand. This is Huddle Up with
20:05
Speaker 4: Bucky Brooks.
20:12
Speaker 8: He gets in and out of break so well's I know,
20:15
Speaker 8: he was like forty something men's vertical coming out of
20:18
Speaker 8: high school. He's a very good athlete. He's like, what
20:21
Speaker 8: do you need to define as a football player. I mean,
20:24
Speaker 8: he just has a knock for getting open. He's harder
20:28
Speaker 8: to tackle than maybe just looking.
20:31
Speaker 5: At the table.
20:32
Speaker 8: He'll break tackles, drag people down. He knows how to
20:36
Speaker 8: wiggle and separate and also the contested catchability. So very
20:41
Speaker 8: good player. Have a lot of respect for him.
20:43
Speaker 4: Sleam Cohen discussing Brock Bauers, the Raiders tight end who
20:47
Speaker 4: is expected to be back on the field this week
20:49
Speaker 4: after missing three weeks of action and welcome back. It's
20:52
Speaker 4: Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks, j P, Shadrick John Oser
20:55
Speaker 4: and Yes, Bucky Brooks.
20:57
Speaker 5: Keep key Jaguars Raiders up.
21:00
Speaker 4: This a Sunday, and now time for the defensive coverage
21:02
Speaker 4: of the game, presented by g EHA Government Employees Health
21:05
Speaker 4: Association Benefits for federal employees and retirees. And we take
21:10
Speaker 4: a closer look at this Raiders offense that the Jaguars
21:12
Speaker 4: will have to defend.
21:13
Speaker 3: And yeah, Brock.
21:14
Speaker 4: Bauers, well, he did it to this team last year
21:18
Speaker 4: in Vegas. Eleven catches on thirteen targets against the Jaguars
21:21
Speaker 4: for ninety nine yards last season. So Jaggs fans at
21:25
Speaker 4: least have seen this close and personal if he gets going,
21:28
Speaker 4: and now he's coming back off injury after missing three
21:31
Speaker 4: games the tight end.
21:33
Speaker 3: Where does he rank around the league in terms of talent?
21:36
Speaker 6: Bucky, He's the best. I mean, I think everyone would
21:39
Speaker 6: say coming off the season that he had last year.
21:42
Speaker 5: We shattered roocky records.
21:44
Speaker 6: We established Mike Dick's receiving record for roocky tight ends.
21:48
Speaker 6: He is everything that you want in a position. He's
21:50
Speaker 6: a terrific pass catcher, outstanding route runner, can get down
21:53
Speaker 6: to see him and make big plays, but also can
21:55
Speaker 6: do all of the fun creative stuff that you want
21:58
Speaker 6: to see a tight end do. In today's game, he
22:00
Speaker 6: is a problem. And you mentioned the eleven catches last year,
22:04
Speaker 6: the ninety nine yards and even though it doesn't seem
22:06
Speaker 6: like a lot of production, like nine yards a catch,
22:09
Speaker 6: it's just annoying that whenever they need a play they
22:12
Speaker 6: can find them. And it's not a coincidence that the
22:14
Speaker 6: quarterback Geno Smith has been struggling with turnovers without brock
22:18
Speaker 6: Bauers being in the lineup. Now you put brock Bowers
22:20
Speaker 6: in the lineup. You have asked in genty in the lineup.
22:23
Speaker 6: We're going to face a much different Raiders team than
22:26
Speaker 6: the one that's been showing up the last few weeks.
22:28
Speaker 6: That's why everyone has to be on point. You can't
22:31
Speaker 6: take this team likely. You need to bring the energy
22:34
Speaker 6: to get.
22:34
Speaker 5: This done because this is a big game for the Jacks.
22:37
Speaker 5: You want to get ahead of the curve.
22:38
Speaker 6: You have this one this week, and when out looking
22:40
Speaker 6: too far ahead, you have the Texas next week. You
22:42
Speaker 6: want to make sure that you're stacking wins because the
22:44
Speaker 6: magic number is ten. If we're talking about this team
22:47
Speaker 6: getting into the playoffs, I.
22:48
Speaker 2: Think it's a mammoth game.
22:49
Speaker 7: I mean it's I think there are gettable games in
22:53
Speaker 7: the second half there's some that are gonna be tough,
22:56
Speaker 7: but this is one that, again on paper, it's supposed
22:59
Speaker 7: to be gettable. And I'm with Bucky. All this league
23:04
Speaker 7: stuff that happens in the NFL that makes these games
23:09
Speaker 7: sneaky hard to me makes this game sneaky hard. I
23:11
Speaker 7: think Bowers is probably the biggest factor. Not only did
23:16
Speaker 7: he miss three games, he was beat up. He has
23:20
Speaker 7: not had one hundred yard games since Week one, but
23:23
Speaker 7: he had one hundred and thirty one catches I mean
23:26
Speaker 7: for fourteen hundred yards last year, which means consistently on
23:31
Speaker 7: a very pedestrian team, he gets you a hundred. So
23:35
Speaker 7: it's a little unreal It's unrealistic to think that you're
23:39
Speaker 7: going to hold him to the thirty or thirty five
23:41
Speaker 7: if he's back. And as you said, when you're watching him,
23:47
Speaker 7: I take notes in the press box, and every time
23:49
Speaker 7: last year he caught the ball, you'd sort of just
23:51
Speaker 7: throw your pen up and.
23:52
Speaker 2: Be like, here we go again. And you know.
23:54
Speaker 7: That's sometimes more debilitating or or you're discouraging. They're giving
24:02
Speaker 7: up one big play because think, okay, hey it's third
24:05
Speaker 7: and seven, we're in front of the chains.
24:07
Speaker 2: We did it.
24:08
Speaker 3: We've seen Kelsey do that to this team, and now.
24:10
Speaker 7: It's first and ten and we're going again. So but
24:15
Speaker 7: I think I defensively for the Jaguars, they have to
24:18
Speaker 7: It's back to the situation for them where I think
24:21
Speaker 7: they're gonna start getting turnover opportunities again. They haven't had
24:24
Speaker 7: any last couple of weeks because the teams they were
24:26
Speaker 7: playing against Gino. You're gonna get some opportunities. And I
24:30
Speaker 7: always always call these kind of games you don't want
24:34
Speaker 7: to have the camera focused on a defensive player hitting
24:38
Speaker 7: the ground. I should have had that one, you know,
24:42
Speaker 7: because those only come along if you know, maybe once
24:45
Speaker 7: a quarter.
24:46
Speaker 2: You got to catch them.
24:47
Speaker 7: You can't be slapping the ground if you're a defensive player.
24:50
Speaker 6: This week, Yeah, it really puts the Jaguars in the
24:53
Speaker 6: buying where brock Bowers coming back. And one of the
24:55
Speaker 6: reasons you're in the buying is because when you play
24:57
Speaker 6: zone coverage, it's hard to snug up to the tight end.
25:01
Speaker 6: You can't get tight coverage on him, so you can't
25:03
Speaker 6: completely take him out of the game plan. And he
25:06
Speaker 6: is so good that he's gonna find the voids in
25:08
Speaker 6: the zone. Anthony kmcneely has to kind of figure out, Okay,
25:12
Speaker 6: how do we take care of him without compromising what
25:15
Speaker 6: we'd like to do and what we've proven to be
25:17
Speaker 6: very very good at, which is plays zone covers, vision
25:20
Speaker 6: and break coverage and those things. They have shown the
25:23
Speaker 6: ability to mix up a little man demand, but that's
25:26
Speaker 6: not what they want to live in. That chess match
25:29
Speaker 6: that Kempanelli plays with Chip Kelly is gonna be pivotal
25:32
Speaker 6: because you cannot allow number eighty nine to get comfortable,
25:35
Speaker 6: because that will help Geno Smith get out of the
25:38
Speaker 6: slump that he's been being in for the entire season.
25:40
Speaker 7: I'll say this, though I know this segment is Raiders,
25:43
Speaker 7: Sorry about that is Raider centric, but sort of big
25:47
Speaker 7: picture going to the second half the season. Look, the
25:51
Speaker 7: Jaguars defense, for the most part, except for the Rams,
25:54
Speaker 7: has been fine.
25:56
Speaker 2: This team has.
25:57
Speaker 7: To be more explosive off defensively. The Jags, we're sort
26:02
Speaker 7: of talking details about the defense, and they can have
26:05
Speaker 7: thirteen first downs against Seattle a couple of big plays,
26:08
Speaker 7: but they held.
26:08
Speaker 2: That team to twenty. Before the season.
26:11
Speaker 7: If you told me how the Jaguars get to the playoffs,
26:14
Speaker 7: I didn't think they were going to be the most
26:15
Speaker 7: consistent offensive team in the NFL. But I thought they
26:19
Speaker 7: would be an explosive offensive team and they just haven't.
26:24
Speaker 7: They have to catch the ball and they have to
26:25
Speaker 7: have more big plays offensively. If they hold the Raiders
26:29
Speaker 7: to twenty, if they hold teams to twenty the rest
26:31
Speaker 7: of the season with this defense and get a turnover,
26:35
Speaker 7: they should win most of the games. The offense has
26:38
Speaker 7: to be better than it has been. It's a little
26:40
Speaker 7: off topic, I get it.
26:41
Speaker 5: But none of it is because as we were.
26:44
Speaker 7: Grinding in the defense just then, Bucky, That's what I
26:46
Speaker 7: kept going back to.
26:47
Speaker 2: The defense has been fine.
26:49
Speaker 5: Yeah, defense has been good.
26:50
Speaker 6: And in fact, John, when I was playing, I think
26:53
Speaker 6: the magic number was seventeen. They used to say, like,
26:55
Speaker 6: if you're playing great defense, that's you know, seventeen points
26:58
Speaker 6: per game allowed is going to put you in the
27:00
Speaker 6: top five to seven teams in the league. On most years.
27:03
Speaker 6: The Seattle is a great offense, they get yeah, and
27:08
Speaker 6: so that is incumbent upon the offense. They got to
27:11
Speaker 6: find a way to produce more plays. The problem is,
27:14
Speaker 6: you talk about the explosive plays. How did the explosive
27:17
Speaker 6: plays happen? Well, it happens when you running the ball
27:19
Speaker 6: and then when you throw a play action pass you're
27:21
Speaker 6: able to throw it over the top of the defense.
27:23
Speaker 6: Too often this year, we're not connecting on those those
27:27
Speaker 6: winners that have been dialed up that Liam says, Hey,
27:30
Speaker 6: I got two or three chances a game to call
27:33
Speaker 6: these plays. They're not cashing it in either, it's an
27:36
Speaker 6: inaccurate throw, a drop pass, something happens upfront and the
27:40
Speaker 6: quarterback gets hit. We have got to find a way
27:43
Speaker 6: to cash these lottery tickets so we can score. But
27:46
Speaker 6: we're not going to be an explosive offense until we
27:48
Speaker 6: find a way to score from distance.
27:49
Speaker 5: It's just too hard to drive the length of the
27:52
Speaker 5: field in this league.
27:54
Speaker 7: All right, let's that deviated from your path, so I apologize.
28:00
Speaker 3: There's no path, there's no paths. We're just wondering aimlessly
28:04
Speaker 3: through the.
28:05
Speaker 2: Desert right here, and I deviated from the past.
28:07
Speaker 3: We're wandering aimlessly towards Las Vegas in the desert.
28:10
Speaker 4: We're back in a moment, and we'll get our final
28:13
Speaker 4: thoughts ahead of this Bucky Brooks Bowl. The Raiders and
28:17
Speaker 4: the Jaguars coming up from Allegiance State, even Las Vegas.
28:21
Speaker 3: It's huddle up with Bucky Brooks.
28:28
Speaker 8: All you know as a player and as a coach
28:30
Speaker 8: is they just keep pushing through that there's going to
28:33
Speaker 8: be a breakthrough at some point here to just connect
28:37
Speaker 8: and doing it. And you watch games from last year
28:40
Speaker 8: because obviously you're watching the Raiders from last year and
28:42
Speaker 8: you're watching big plays being made and all right, man like,
28:45
Speaker 8: just it has to go happen as much as it
28:48
Speaker 8: can in practice, but also you know in the game
28:51
Speaker 8: it's got to come to life for that connection to
28:54
Speaker 8: truly go the way that it needs to go. So
28:59
Speaker 8: you know, it takes work, it takes patients, it takes time,
29:03
Speaker 8: and you're just hopeful that it's going to be able
29:05
Speaker 8: to come to life here.
29:06
Speaker 4: William Cohen, Jaguars head coach, earlier today discussing Brian Thomas
29:11
Speaker 4: Junior moving forward, Jaguars wide Receiver Welcome Back.
29:14
Speaker 3: Final moments of Huddle Up with.
29:15
Speaker 4: Bucky Brooks brought to you by Field's Auto Group, Jacksonville.
29:18
Speaker 4: See Fields First, Jacksonville's premiere luxury auto group.
29:21
Speaker 5: Go to Fields.
29:22
Speaker 4: Auto Dot Com Raiders, Jaguars Coming Up, Raiders at two
29:29
Speaker 4: and five, Jaguars at four and three, both the well
29:31
Speaker 4: the Jaguars coming off the bye week and another.
29:35
Speaker 3: Trip out west for this team.
29:37
Speaker 4: They feared well last time in San Francisco, and now
29:40
Speaker 4: they're trying to get the Raiders to get back on
29:43
Speaker 4: track after dropping two in a row. Yeah, so here
29:47
Speaker 4: we are. This is a big swing game for the
29:50
Speaker 4: next five games, by the way, or on the road.
29:52
Speaker 4: Those four are against teams with losing records right now,
29:56
Speaker 4: and you know the one in the middle is the
29:58
Speaker 4: Chargers coming here. In the other four are away, So
30:02
Speaker 4: big part of the schedule, John to really kind of collects.
30:07
Speaker 4: You get your footing back right, get back on track,
30:10
Speaker 4: on the winning track. And then of course these Conference
30:13
Speaker 4: AFC games coming up are huge when it comes down
30:16
Speaker 4: to type breakers and things at the end.
30:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, if you're.
30:20
Speaker 7: This game is not a must win because if you
30:23
Speaker 7: lose your four and four and if you win the
30:25
Speaker 7: last nine, you're thirteen and four. So it's not a
30:27
Speaker 7: must win, but it is big to show you. And
30:33
Speaker 7: what I'm gonna say, it takes a little bit explanation.
30:36
Speaker 7: If you lose it. It doesn't mean that you can't
30:39
Speaker 7: turn yourself into a playoff team this year. But if
30:43
Speaker 7: you go out there and you don't handle this. It
30:45
Speaker 7: means that right now, you're not I mean right now,
30:49
Speaker 7: you're not a team that goes and win these games.
30:53
Speaker 7: Wins these games, and if you're gonna be a playoff team,
30:57
Speaker 7: this is the kind of team that you've got to win.
31:00
Speaker 7: It's not an easy matchup, but they're important professional football
31:05
Speaker 7: game type games where you've got to go handle it.
31:08
Speaker 7: You've got to win on the road, Bucky, I'm not
31:10
Speaker 7: worried about this team functioning on the road. They've shown
31:13
Speaker 7: they were fine functioning against Cincinnati San Francisco.
31:16
Speaker 2: They can go on the road.
31:18
Speaker 7: I think this team can play with all but maybe
31:20
Speaker 7: the top couple of teams, and maybe even the top teams.
31:22
Speaker 7: The Chiefs might be as good as anybody right now,
31:25
Speaker 7: but they've got to figure out a way to play
31:27
Speaker 7: how they want to play, meaning not be behind the sticks,
31:31
Speaker 7: be the more physical team. I thought they were the
31:33
Speaker 7: most physical team on the field for the first five
31:36
Speaker 7: games this season.
31:36
Speaker 2: They were four and one.
31:38
Speaker 7: I don't think you can say that about the last
31:40
Speaker 7: two games. I'm not surprised they weren't the most physical
31:42
Speaker 7: against Seattle because they that team might physical their way
31:45
Speaker 7: to the Super Bowl. But overall, if they get back
31:50
Speaker 7: to what they were doing and play smarter. There's no
31:53
Speaker 7: reason they can't go win this type of game five
31:55
Speaker 7: or six times the rest of the season. But I
31:58
Speaker 7: sound like a coach, mister cliche. Hey, it's about themselves.
32:01
Speaker 7: They've got to get back to playing how they want
32:04
Speaker 7: to play, which I'm not sure they did the last
32:06
Speaker 7: two weeks, especially the last week.
32:09
Speaker 6: Now they haven't. Like look, the last week, I think
32:11
Speaker 6: you have to throw out. We talked about a verity
32:12
Speaker 6: ball type game in terms of you just have a
32:14
Speaker 6: bad game. That was a stinker. But they have to
32:16
Speaker 6: get back on track. If we talk about using the
32:19
Speaker 6: formula that has worked for so long in the.
32:20
Speaker 5: National Football League, let's just see if we can go
32:23
Speaker 5: three and one every quarter.
32:26
Speaker 6: Well, this is one of the ones that when you're
32:28
Speaker 6: looking on the schedule, like, man, this should be one
32:30
Speaker 6: of the ones that we put in the win column.
32:31
Speaker 6: And that's not being disrespectful to the Raiders, but that's
32:34
Speaker 6: just what it is. You talk about having a schedule
32:37
Speaker 6: where you have some losing teams on the horizon. You
32:40
Speaker 6: want to knock off those teams, win the games that
32:43
Speaker 6: you're supposed to win, and then find a way to
32:44
Speaker 6: compete to steal one or two down the stretch.
32:47
Speaker 5: This is one that I don't want.
32:48
Speaker 6: To say, hey, this is a must win, but it's
32:51
Speaker 6: about as close to a must winners we can get
32:52
Speaker 6: in the middle of the regular season. You need to
32:54
Speaker 6: stack these w's because we've sat here before years and
32:58
Speaker 6: years on end and rude. We've regretted losing some of
33:04
Speaker 6: these games that were winnable because it's come back to
33:06
Speaker 6: hurt us at the end of the year where we
33:08
Speaker 6: were sitting on the outside looking in when we easily
33:10
Speaker 6: could have won one or two to get into the tournament.
33:13
Speaker 7: Yeah, JPI, I believe, and I've said it over and
33:15
Speaker 7: over again. I think this regime, this direction it started
33:20
Speaker 7: in January. I think it's going places regardless of what
33:24
Speaker 7: happens on Sunday. I think these guys are doing it
33:27
Speaker 7: right and they're going to move toward being an elite team.
33:32
Speaker 7: But they're not an elite team yet. They are a
33:34
Speaker 7: team trying to get to elite and this season you're
33:38
Speaker 7: gonna have games like you had against the Rams. The
33:41
Speaker 7: key for a team that is in this stage of
33:43
Speaker 7: a build to get to the postseason is to respond
33:48
Speaker 7: to those and come back, and like Bucky said, beat
33:51
Speaker 7: the winnables, you know, get all the winnables and then
33:54
Speaker 7: sneak a couple and you might even lose one of
33:57
Speaker 7: the ones you're supposed to get. But you've got to
34:00
Speaker 7: get most of these in order to get to where
34:03
Speaker 7: you want to go, in order to get to that
34:04
Speaker 7: ten wins. So in that respect, not must win, but boy,
34:10
Speaker 7: you need it right now. And I always laughing the
34:16
Speaker 7: next one's always a must win, Bucky, But right now, boy,
34:20
Speaker 7: this would feel like.
34:21
Speaker 2: A punch in the gut if you don't.
34:22
Speaker 6: Get it, it would It sounds like it must win
34:25
Speaker 6: to me, JP, That's what it sounds like.
34:27
Speaker 5: It sounds like it's a gotta have it, gotta have
34:29
Speaker 5: it win Burn burn the boats. You got to find a.
34:32
Speaker 6: Way to get this one, because this one sets up
34:35
Speaker 6: the next few weeks when we talk about it, like
34:37
Speaker 6: you talked about this one, you talk about Houston, you
34:39
Speaker 6: talked about the Chargers, eventually we go to Arizona.
34:42
Speaker 5: I mean, this is a pivotal stretch.
34:43
Speaker 6: You talk about being able to get ahead of it
34:46
Speaker 6: being on the graphic as we talked about the last
34:48
Speaker 6: month of the season, but the postseason.
34:51
Speaker 5: You got to call Spadas fade. It's time to win
34:53
Speaker 5: some of these games.
34:54
Speaker 6: You have to win this one to really set yourself
34:57
Speaker 6: up to play those meaningful games down the stretch and December.
35:00
Speaker 3: Like a duck, it talks like a duck. It's probably
35:03
Speaker 3: a duck.
35:03
Speaker 4: So that means it's it sounds like a must win.
35:06
Speaker 4: It's walking around like a must win, and it's probably
35:09
Speaker 4: a must win.
35:10
Speaker 7: And in a lot of sports, there between five and
35:11
Speaker 7: three and four and four is not a big deal.
35:14
Speaker 7: In a seventeen game season, there between five and three
35:17
Speaker 7: and four and four is a big deal. I mean,
35:20
Speaker 7: so that's what this game is.
35:22
Speaker 2: It's a duck.
35:23
Speaker 5: It certainly is.
35:25
Speaker 3: Bucky. Are you driving or flying to Vegas? You're right
35:28
Speaker 3: over there pretty close right.

Speaker 5: Wow, I want to take on ut So I'm gonna
35:41

35:44
Speaker 7: not where he is is a short distance.
35:46
Speaker 2: It's not like you can just like.
35:48
Speaker 3: It's like three hours.
35:50
Speaker 2: It was like close right, It's like Jon and Jackson.
35:55
Speaker 7: It's just because it's out west doesn't mean we're over there.
36:00
Speaker 3: Hey, hike up to it's probably a mountain or something.
36:02
Speaker 2: They just hike up to Frisco.
36:06

36:32
Speaker 3: It really is.
36:32
Speaker 2: My buddy's went to Vanderbilt and it's hard to win.
36:36

36:38
Speaker 4: but that was Yeah. No, this is different when their
