1:43
Speaker 3: up of Bucky Brooks show?
1:44
Speaker 2: This year?
1:46
Speaker 6: It has I think I missed the first too, because
1:49
Speaker 6: the first one I.
1:50
Speaker 5: Was away, and then the second one was working.
1:53
Speaker 4: I might have been to sea.
1:54
Speaker 5: How you guys were on location in Detroit?
1:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, but now we got you.
1:59
Speaker 7: Welcome, Bucky. This is JP and if you met JP,
2:02
Speaker 7: I'm I'm John. Let's talk a little bit.
2:05
Speaker 5: Nice, nice, nice, nice, meaning you guys. You guys look good,
2:09
Speaker 5: well equipped, all thinks jaguars. Yeah, yeah, guys are great.
2:12
Speaker 3: Let's hear from the head coach earlier this week, setting
2:15
Speaker 3: the tone they're going to play the starters this week
2:18
Speaker 3: against the Dolphins. Maybe I have and coach Peterson asked
2:21
Speaker 3: Monday about his approach toward playing them versus keeping players healthy.
2:27
Speaker 8: I can't really worry too much about who gets hurt
2:31
Speaker 8: this and that. If I do, then then people get hurt, right.
2:33
Speaker 8: I mean, I just think you practice and play just
2:37
Speaker 8: like you're getting ready for a regular season game. And
2:39
Speaker 8: our starters need some time together on the field, and
2:42
Speaker 8: and uh, you know, so they'll they'll get that opportunity
2:45
Speaker 8: this week, and I'll listen, I'll monitor it. I'll be
2:48
Speaker 8: I'll be you know, on top of that too, so
2:51
Speaker 8: if if if I need to.
2:52
Speaker 2: Pull him out or pull them out.
2:53
Speaker 8: But right now, it's still still full steam ahead.
2:57
Speaker 2: So Bucky.
2:57
Speaker 3: Of course, last week the Jaguars in the practice field
2:59
Speaker 3: and Detroit had a few players go down with injury,
3:03
Speaker 3: some of the depth guys in the offensive line, and
3:05
Speaker 3: you know, they didn't play in the game. The starters
3:08
Speaker 3: did not play in Detroit. So if you didn't play
3:11
Speaker 3: in Detroit, it would be what three weeks until you
3:14
Speaker 3: played football again. So at some point you got to
3:16
Speaker 3: get some reps and play some real game.
3:19
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, look, you can't go scared, and Doug
3:21
Speaker 6: Peterson is saying that basically, got to get guys ready
3:24
Speaker 6: to play, and you want to knock on way and
3:26
Speaker 6: hope that none of your starters go down.
3:27
Speaker 5: But at the end of the day is football, and
3:29
Speaker 5: the only.
3:29
Speaker 6: Way to hit the ground running when the season kicks
3:32
Speaker 6: off in September is to make sure that you've given
3:34
Speaker 6: them enough reps to develop the chemistry and continuity that
3:37
Speaker 6: you have to have to play at a high level.
3:39
Speaker 6: Unlike some coaches who want to ease into the season,
3:42
Speaker 6: take the first four games of the regular season.
3:44
Speaker 5: Kind of figure out who they are and what they're about, Doug.
3:47
Speaker 4: Peterson wants to make sure that he can kind of
3:48
Speaker 4: get a jump.
3:49
Speaker 6: Start on the rest of the league by having his
3:51
Speaker 6: guys ready to play.
3:52
Speaker 4: From week one.
3:53
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's early games count. And you know, my sense
3:57
Speaker 7: in Bucky the ex player, I got litany of questions
4:02
Speaker 7: for the scout, the player, the coach, But you know,
4:08
Speaker 7: my thought has always been that as much as being
4:14
Speaker 7: physically ready, playing a couple of snaps for these starters,
4:19
Speaker 7: playing a couple of series with these starters gets your
4:21
Speaker 7: sort of ready. It gets your body clock ready, meaning
4:25
Speaker 7: they're used to playing during the preseason. They're used to
4:28
Speaker 7: having a couple of rests for that. You know, I
4:30
Speaker 7: don't know that they're actually learning how to play as
4:33
Speaker 7: much as it just sort of gives them that confidence
4:35
Speaker 7: going into Week one that they've done it already. Maybe
4:38
Speaker 7: they don't need it physically, but maybe they just need
4:41
Speaker 7: to tell themselves okay now I'm ready. Any thought on that,
4:44
Speaker 7: Buck Well, I agree with you.
4:47
Speaker 6: There's something to it that you can't simulate. Like whether
4:49
Speaker 6: we go in practice and we put the shells on,
4:52
Speaker 6: meaning to show the paths but not the lowers, and
4:54
Speaker 6: you're thudding but you're not tackling to the ground. At
4:57
Speaker 6: some point, man, you want to kind of like get
4:59
Speaker 6: your guy's familiar with how the game is played and
5:02
Speaker 6: it's played at a fastest speed it has played at
5:04
Speaker 6: a more violent pace.
5:06
Speaker 5: And tempo, then you can recreate on the practice field.
5:08
Speaker 6: And so you got to get guys ready for that,
5:10
Speaker 6: because not the first time that they play and get
5:13
Speaker 6: hit in a.
5:13
Speaker 5: Regular season game, they're gonna.
5:15
Speaker 6: Lose the ball, They're gonna take poor angles when it
5:17
Speaker 6: comes to tackling. There is something to having a live
5:20
Speaker 6: dress rehearsal that extends beyond the series or two, as.
5:24
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence will hear from him coming up, actually available
5:27
Speaker 3: on Jaguars dot Com and the Jaguars YouTube channel. Of
5:30
Speaker 3: the press conference after practice today with a quarterback. But
5:32
Speaker 3: I asked him, hey, do you guys? You know you've
5:35
Speaker 3: game planned all your life, but is there more of
5:37
Speaker 3: a game plan this week in the preseason? Kind of
5:39
Speaker 3: looked at me like I was from Mars a little bit,
5:41
Speaker 3: I thought, and just kind of talking his way through it. Yeah,
5:44
Speaker 3: they do a little, but they're not really showing any
5:47
Speaker 3: new wrinkles.
5:48
Speaker 2: They're going up certain looks.
5:49
Speaker 7: You're sort of trying to say it's more than the
5:52
Speaker 7: first two Yeah, preseason games, but it ain't anything close.
5:57
Speaker 7: They're not showing anything.
5:59
Speaker 2: They're not.
6:00
Speaker 7: It's only not giving anything away. It's secret, and you
6:03
Speaker 7: really hardcore, I mean, especially Doug and Press, they really
6:06
Speaker 7: hardcore game plan for opponents. I doubt they're going nearly
6:10
Speaker 7: as in depth, probably not staying here until one on
6:13
Speaker 7: a Monday for this one, you would hope not.
6:16
Speaker 2: No.
6:16
Speaker 3: I mean they're showing cards and stuff at practice, bucketing
6:19
Speaker 3: and all that kind of stuff, so you know, they're
6:21
Speaker 3: looking at something, but it's not are not.
6:24
Speaker 7: Running the wishbone on fourth and one with et on Saturday?
6:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, the T formation coming out.
6:30
Speaker 5: No, they're not doing that.
6:31
Speaker 6: But you are going into the game with a couple
6:35
Speaker 6: of things that you want to check off the box.
6:36
Speaker 6: You want to see how the first wide receiver corp
6:39
Speaker 6: that unit high looks in comparison with You want to
6:42
Speaker 6: see what that chemistry with them and number sixteen is like,
6:45
Speaker 6: because if you get off to a fast.
6:47
Speaker 5: Start, you feel good about that part.
6:49
Speaker 6: You want to see what the offensive line reshuffling does
6:52
Speaker 6: to impact your overall offensive potential if you're if you
6:56
Speaker 6: have a couple of guys unavailable, you have a new
6:58
Speaker 6: guy coming to start who's fine, but you know it
7:00
Speaker 6: may not be before. You just have a bunch of
7:02
Speaker 6: different things that you're trying to evaluate, and so you
7:06
Speaker 6: just want to make sure that you feel great about that.
7:08
Speaker 6: And then defensively, you need these guys to play, and.
7:10
Speaker 5: So you can continue to assess who is the nickel, who.
7:13
Speaker 4: Is going to be the big knock, or how are
7:15
Speaker 4: we going to.
7:15
Speaker 6: Play these different personnel groupings that we want, And so
7:19
Speaker 6: you got a lot to get done in about a
7:21
Speaker 6: half of football.
7:22
Speaker 3: Let's hear from the offensive coordinator Press Taylor speaking with
7:26
Speaker 3: the media today, what does he want to see out
7:29
Speaker 3: of the strutter Saturday?
7:32
Speaker 9: Similar thing as you know we talked about week one
7:34
Speaker 9: or preseason week one of seeing just a clean operation.
7:37
Speaker 9: You know, you want to see clear communication. It's a
7:40
Speaker 9: chance to be at home. You kind of want the
7:41
Speaker 9: butterflies with these guys getting in a game and understanding
7:44
Speaker 9: they're about to get tackled. You know, there's pressure on
7:47
Speaker 9: the line if you don't convert, your out, your punting,
7:49
Speaker 9: and all that type of stuff. So you really just
7:51
Speaker 9: want to try to get that smooth out for the guys.
7:53
Speaker 9: So that week one, it's not the first time they've
7:55
Speaker 9: felt that way or communicated in a huddle or broken
7:58
Speaker 9: a huddle together and all that stuff. So clean operation
8:01
Speaker 9: from a communication substitution standpoint, and then you want to
8:04
Speaker 9: see him execute again. It's still somewhat of a core
8:06
Speaker 9: game plan for us. It's not exotic stuff. So you
8:09
Speaker 9: just want to go out and see clean execution out
8:11
Speaker 9: of these guys making plays too clean.
8:14
Speaker 2: Clean, clean, that's what they need.
8:16
Speaker 3: And for the most part, I mean they got in
8:19
Speaker 3: out of the huddle against Dallas. Now they threw an
8:21
Speaker 3: interception on the second play and then went three and
8:24
Speaker 3: out and got a short field and had a fourth
8:26
Speaker 3: down touchdown. That was really the only outing for the
8:29
Speaker 3: starting offense this whole preseason.
8:30
Speaker 7: John, Yeah, and they definitely want to feel cleaner than that.
8:34
Speaker 7: I mean, they want to score touchdowns. I would guess
8:37
Speaker 7: if he has Trevor rather not throw picks, then automatically
8:45
Speaker 7: have to have touchdowns to the end of your drive.
8:46
Speaker 7: You know, if they move, if they feel good, if
8:49
Speaker 7: they feel like they're in a rybon, they'll be happy.
8:52
Speaker 7: But I think they'll definitely want to come out of
8:56
Speaker 7: that at least score in seven buck and probably fourteen
9:00
Speaker 7: to feel really good going into it. It's not a
9:02
Speaker 7: crisis if you don't, but it will sure make those
9:05
Speaker 7: fifteen days I would think a lot more pleasant, right.
9:10
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely make it more pleasant.
9:13
Speaker 6: And you want to leave a lasting impression. And so
9:15
Speaker 6: if the first team offense and defense, but the first
9:18
Speaker 6: team offense in particular, if they're racing up and down
9:20
Speaker 6: the field, scoring points, make you feel great about what
9:23
Speaker 6: potentially you can have during the regular season. But if
9:25
Speaker 6: they're bogged down, they can't convert first downs, having a
9:28
Speaker 6: tough time just.
9:29
Speaker 4: Getting out of their own way.
9:30
Speaker 6: Then you have some issues and you'll go back and
9:33
Speaker 6: you will cross reference like those things to make sure.
9:37
Speaker 4: Like, Okay, here's where we were a couple of weeks ago.
9:40
Speaker 5: This is what it looks like now. Okay, we're still
9:42
Speaker 5: on schedule and so, but you would like to make
9:44
Speaker 5: sure that the last time this unit takes snaps together.
9:47
Speaker 6: In the preseason, it looks like they're regular season ready.
9:51
Speaker 7: I'm going to ask the analyst, I here's a list
9:54
Speaker 7: to lie down my list, And I tend not to
10:00
Speaker 7: get really caught up in this storyline, but it does
10:03
Speaker 7: matter for this team. The fast start issue. Clearly a
10:08
Speaker 7: slow starting team last year and clearly a very good
10:11
Speaker 7: team once Trevor really got going at whatever point in
10:15
Speaker 7: the game that he got going. Is there anything to that?
10:22
Speaker 7: Is that just Trevor Bucky? You know? Is there a
10:25
Speaker 7: way to improve that? It's kind of a silly question
10:28
Speaker 7: because if they could, they would, But what are your
10:31
Speaker 7: thoughts on that?
10:32
Speaker 6: Well, if you want to get to quarterback off to
10:34
Speaker 6: a fast start, what you do is you have a
10:36
Speaker 6: collaborative effort to put down your first fifteen most teams
10:40
Speaker 6: start with fifteen players that are script and they kind
10:43
Speaker 6: of work down the list to make sure that there's
10:45
Speaker 6: certain touch points that they want to get to where
10:47
Speaker 6: they throw a different disguise, a different wrinkle or whatever
10:51
Speaker 6: and see how the defense reacts.
10:55
Speaker 4: Good, Good to go.
10:56
Speaker 6: So what I want to see from Trevor is I
10:58
Speaker 6: want to see him continue and not down the layups.
11:01
Speaker 6: I wanted to see him continue to move the chains.
11:03
Speaker 6: I want to see and feel this offense have a
11:06
Speaker 6: rhythm and regardless of whether it ends up in points
11:09
Speaker 6: or not, I just want to see how this team
11:11
Speaker 6: operates and flows after getting two three four first down
11:15
Speaker 6: in secession, that'd be a great indicator on what this
11:18
Speaker 6: offense can be.
11:20
Speaker 3: Plenty ahead, we'll go to the defensive side of the
11:23
Speaker 3: ball in just a moment. And if you're a Jags

11:46
Speaker 3: the Jaguars Digital Network.
11:53
Speaker 2: We're working progress.
11:54
Speaker 5: You know, we're out there.
11:56
Speaker 10: We did some good things in a preseason, done a
11:58
Speaker 10: couple of good things out there field against our offense.
12:01
Speaker 10: It's just a day by day we come in here
12:03
Speaker 10: and try to get better. We focus on certain things
12:05
Speaker 10: and sometimes they show up, sometimes they don't. Turnovers and
12:08
Speaker 10: tackling has been one thing we've really harped on and
12:11
Speaker 10: that's starting to show up a little bit.
12:13
Speaker 2: So hopefully that continues.
12:14
Speaker 10: But you know, with early and they come in bunches,
12:16
Speaker 10: we just have to continue to work on it, continue
12:19
Speaker 10: to talk about it, and you know, once a season
12:21
Speaker 10: come to hopefully they'll continue to come.
12:24
Speaker 3: Defensive coordinator Mike Caldwell earlier this week, welcome back and
12:27
Speaker 3: huddle up with Bucky Brooks, JP Shadwick, John Ozier in Jacksonville,
12:31
Speaker 3: Bucky Brooks in Los Angeles. The Jaguars will be in
12:34
Speaker 3: Jacksonville Saturday, seven o'clock kickoff time against the Miami Dolphins.
12:40
Speaker 3: Starters will go for the Jags and a couple on
12:44
Speaker 3: defense will not go full. We've had Akassi, Devada Hamilton
12:49
Speaker 3: coming up. With injuries within the last week or so,
12:52
Speaker 3: find Akasi injured in practice, Hamilton on the non football
12:55
Speaker 3: injury list, So you know, Bucky, we'll get a look
13:00
Speaker 3: some of the depth guys on the defensive line. It
13:02
Speaker 3: feels like at least this week we'll see how Fatakasi
13:05
Speaker 3: trends moving ahead in the next two weeks before the
13:07
Speaker 3: regular season opener. Is it feels like there's some hope
13:11
Speaker 3: for him to be ready to roll a Week one
13:13
Speaker 3: in Indianapolis. Still no real word on Devona Hamilton and
13:17
Speaker 3: timetable or anything with that. So it's really the first
13:22
Speaker 3: on the defensive side, big issue that's popped up in
13:25
Speaker 3: the injury front this whole training camp.
13:28
Speaker 2: Bucking.
13:30
Speaker 6: Yeah, No, it's unfortunate that you have some injuries, but
13:33
Speaker 6: that's kind of a part of the training camp process.
13:36
Speaker 6: I think the big thing when you're looking at the
13:37
Speaker 6: defense in the front line is continue to monitoror.
13:41
Speaker 5: Tramon Walker's progress to see where he's going.
13:44
Speaker 6: To fit into the equation, how he's going to be
13:47
Speaker 6: able to be a disruptive force at the point of attack,
13:49
Speaker 6: if at all, You're trying to look and see who
13:51
Speaker 6: are going to be the pass rusus outside of Josh
13:53
Speaker 6: Yap and that can get to the quarterback, which one
13:57
Speaker 6: of the young guys can maybe be a confident we've
13:59
Speaker 6: talked about up you.
14:00
Speaker 5: Sure Abdulah and those guys can. Can someone else emerge
14:04
Speaker 5: as a guy that can give you five.
14:05
Speaker 6: Or six sacks because this is a team that should
14:08
Speaker 6: play with a lot of leads, and the thing about
14:10
Speaker 6: playing with the lead, you should have more pass rush opportunities.
14:13
Speaker 6: Now you got to turn those opportunities into sacks. But
14:17
Speaker 6: the expectations at this front line.
14:19
Speaker 5: Should be better regardless of the injuries of the front
14:20
Speaker 5: line right now.
14:21
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think Hamilton's a big story and I don't
14:24
Speaker 7: have a feel for when he'll be back. It felt
14:30
Speaker 7: early in camp and even against Dallas, like he was
14:33
Speaker 7: a guy who might get some interior disruption, and interior
14:37
Speaker 7: disruption most teams can't really rely on it. If you
14:42
Speaker 7: get it, it really helps those outside guys. So he
14:47
Speaker 7: felt like a guy who was trending toward being that.
14:50
Speaker 7: And I think early in training camp they really thought
14:53
Speaker 7: that combination of Fadocasi, Hamilton, and Roy Robertson Harris were
14:58
Speaker 7: going to be a base they could build this thing around.
15:02
Speaker 7: It's way too early and inaccurate to say that's gone.
15:06
Speaker 7: But you really want that. You really want those three
15:10
Speaker 7: big guys. Those are your three big guys. Jeremiah Ledbetter
15:13
Speaker 7: played well on Saturday. I think he becomes a pretty
15:16
Speaker 7: important storyline for this Do what we see Saturday? Was
15:20
Speaker 7: that just because it was against twos? Or can he
15:22
Speaker 7: sort of have some rush and disruption against ones? I
15:27
Speaker 7: look forward to seeing that a little bit on Saturday.
15:29
Speaker 3: He's played for so many different teams Bucky over the years,
15:32
Speaker 3: I mean, like I mean a bunch of different teams
15:33
Speaker 3: in the league. He's never really had a chance to
15:36
Speaker 3: stick anywhere.
15:36
Speaker 7: Maybe this is sometimes those linemen develop and are in
15:40
Speaker 7: their fifth year or so, all of a sudden figure
15:43
Speaker 7: it out their big bodies and they can move a
15:46
Speaker 7: little bit. So maybe Bucky, maybe he's a guy like that.
15:49
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe he is a guy like that.
15:50
Speaker 6: And you would love for some of those stories to
15:52
Speaker 6: kind of come true and for him to be a
15:54
Speaker 6: feel good story in Jacksonan while also.
15:56
Speaker 5: Being a productive player.
15:58
Speaker 6: As you guys are pointing out, he's played with a
15:59
Speaker 6: bunch of different teams.
16:00
Speaker 5: But I can say just because he's been let go
16:03
Speaker 5: by previous team. Doesn't mean he's not a right fit
16:06
Speaker 5: for the Jaguars.
16:07
Speaker 6: You want to investigate and see it, but you love
16:09
Speaker 6: what you've seen thus far.
16:10
Speaker 5: He's flash, he's been consistent, he's put up numbers. How
16:14
Speaker 5: does he fit in those things kind of factor in.
16:18
Speaker 4: But he's not the only one. They're a handful of
16:19
Speaker 4: other guys.
16:20
Speaker 6: That you're trying to see kind of fit into the
16:21
Speaker 6: mix and try and figure out, Okay, how do we
16:24
Speaker 6: put this together so we have the best fifty three
16:26
Speaker 6: available each and every Sunday.
16:28
Speaker 3: Blucky, where are you on the third corner situation? Trey
16:32
Speaker 3: Herndon and Gregory Junior seem to be the names that
16:35
Speaker 3: are popping out more than others right now.
16:38
Speaker 6: Well, the conservative coach of me will say, hey, let's
16:40
Speaker 6: go with the experience that we know what we have
16:44
Speaker 6: and Trey Herndon. But the evaluator of scouting me will say, now,
16:47
Speaker 6: let's put the young guy out there and let's seem
16:49
Speaker 6: to swim. It really depends on where the team is.
16:51
Speaker 6: The team is at a place where they're lying to
16:54
Speaker 6: not only secure a division crown, but they're loosely targeting
17:00
Speaker 6: the number more seasons.
17:01
Speaker 4: So you don't want to give away games.
17:02
Speaker 5: So it's important that when you look at the tape
17:03
Speaker 5: of the young guy, how does he handle the.
17:06
Speaker 6: Emotional ups and downs that are associated with playing the position.
17:10
Speaker 5: Because you go give up something, he.
17:11
Speaker 6: May make some some So you're trying to figure that out.
17:14
Speaker 6: But Gregory Junior has been good. I just think right
17:17
Speaker 6: now you probably give them out to Hernet.
17:19
Speaker 5: With the expectation by week four, young guys should be in.
17:22
Speaker 7: A lot of I think it's gonna be close. I
17:25
Speaker 7: don't want to say it comes down to Saturday, but
17:28
Speaker 7: this may be one of those where U Saturday can
17:32
Speaker 7: help tilt it because I don't know if they decided
17:33
Speaker 7: on this one yet. This feels like it's still about.
17:35
Speaker 3: And to your point, Bucky, and by week four the
17:38
Speaker 3: things can change. I mean it's not a done deal
17:40
Speaker 3: or he has to play all seventeen games. That can
17:43
Speaker 3: adjust depending on the opponent too, who you're lining up against.
17:46
Speaker 3: Do they bring an extra safety in that spot instead
17:48
Speaker 3: if it's a bigger offense. I mean there's all those
17:51
Speaker 3: options too, right.
17:52
Speaker 6: Yeah, all those options, and you want to have all
17:54
Speaker 6: those that are disposed of if you might call will because.
17:57
Speaker 5: You can play different teams with different styles of offense.
17:59
Speaker 5: You got to have some guys.
18:00
Speaker 4: That can uh cut down taking on and.
18:03
Speaker 5: Do those things.
18:04
Speaker 6: But you're also going to have some of these diverse
18:06
Speaker 6: spread attacks where you've got to be able to play
18:07
Speaker 6: Manda man and get sticky coverage to be able to
18:10
Speaker 6: keep this other team on the end zon it. So, Michael,
18:13
Speaker 6: what the staff dug pon. They're trying to figure out
18:15
Speaker 6: the right combination because how many pass rushers do you keep?
18:18
Speaker 6: And you keep an additional pass rusher at the expense
18:21
Speaker 6: of a cornerback or cover guy, and so you're just
18:24
Speaker 6: trying to put this puzzle together. And oh, by the way,
18:27
Speaker 6: you also would be scaring the waiver where are looking
18:29
Speaker 6: for some guys that also might have some tools that
18:31
Speaker 6: can help you.
18:33
Speaker 2: Would they be in the claim order like twenty third
18:35
Speaker 2: something like that.
18:36
Speaker 5: Yeah, you never know who it may come through as possible.
18:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not impossible, let's put it that way.
18:43
Speaker 7: If it's not impossible, then.
18:46
Speaker 3: Definitely there's one or the other that's right. Uh, sticky
18:49
Speaker 3: coverage and a bucketism.
18:51
Speaker 7: There's I've I've been without bucketisms for a couple of
18:55
Speaker 7: weeks now, so I feel ready, So you're ready, You're
18:59
Speaker 7: ready to take a drink a while.
19:00
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that's the number one thing, Like one A,
19:04
Speaker 6: one B is past rush and in coverage and can
19:07
Speaker 6: you find a set of coverages that best match the
19:10
Speaker 6: personnel that is available in the back end. As much
19:13
Speaker 6: as they wanted to come out and play Manda Man,
19:15
Speaker 6: they found they didn't necessarily have the personnel. So now
19:18
Speaker 6: if you want to play more zone, do you have
19:19
Speaker 6: the personnel that can that can play that can Kia
19:23
Speaker 6: diagnose it and react quickly? So they feel like they're
19:26
Speaker 6: also on auto pilate. So there are a lot of
19:28
Speaker 6: things to consider. What do your subsituation look like? A
19:31
Speaker 6: lot of things might call what has to sort out,
19:33
Speaker 6: But this final game will give him a chance to
19:35
Speaker 6: get some of those answers.
19:37
Speaker 3: Jags fans want customize Jaggs furniture for your home, well

19:45
Speaker 3: zip chair furniture for fans. In a moment, Calvin Ridley
19:51
Speaker 3: on his role and other receivers role in this offense.
19:56
Speaker 3: This is huddle up with Bucky Brooks.
20:04
Speaker 11: This offense is so versatile. I mean, the more you
20:07
Speaker 11: know the better you know you can be used. Right now,
20:10
Speaker 11: I think you know we're especially adding with me. Obviously
20:12
Speaker 11: they already know it, but I've gotten caught up so
20:15
Speaker 11: much with them, and now I think the things that
20:17
Speaker 11: we're doing is gonna be so cool because Trevor has
20:20
Speaker 11: so much room to just do whatever he kind of
20:22
Speaker 11: wants and he can just give us this and that
20:25
Speaker 11: and that and that, and we all know what to do.
20:27
Speaker 5: I really think.
20:27
Speaker 11: I mean with me, Kurt z agg Evan, E t Tank,
20:32
Speaker 11: I mean, bro, I mean, we just gotta play good,
20:36
Speaker 11: practice good, play good, bring it to the game.
20:38
Speaker 5: And I got I have.
20:39
Speaker 2: I'm a believer.
20:40
Speaker 11: I have all the favor I practice with these guys.
20:42
Speaker 2: But it's long. I'm a believer.
20:44
Speaker 8: Man.
20:44
Speaker 11: It's Jags and Nothing, So I believe we can we
20:48
Speaker 11: can do it.
20:49
Speaker 3: Jags are Nothing could be the new mantra that is
20:52
Speaker 3: Calvin Ridley, Jaguars wide Receiver, Welcome back and is huddle
20:55
Speaker 3: up with Bucky Brooks, JP, Shadrick, John Oder and Jack's
20:59
Speaker 3: Bucky Brooks in la uh And that's part of a
21:02
Speaker 3: conversation available now on the Official Jaguars podcast Network. I
21:05
Speaker 3: caught up with Calvin earlier this week, and it's revealing
21:09
Speaker 3: he's excited, he's fired up. You can tell that. It
21:12
Speaker 3: seemed like the whole interview he was smiling the whole time.
21:15
Speaker 7: Yeah, and you know, it was a simple way to
21:18
Speaker 7: put it, and it sounds sort of self explanatory, but
21:20
Speaker 7: he said it early in the conversation or early in
21:22
Speaker 7: that quote. They just have to play good. And that's okay,
21:27
Speaker 7: Well that's obvious. You got to play good to win.
21:30
Speaker 7: But it what he's saying is it's all there if
21:33
Speaker 7: they play as well as they can this offense. Uh,
21:38
Speaker 7: there's five six guys. I was talking to Christian Kirk
21:41
Speaker 7: about it yesterday. This five or six guys who you
21:42
Speaker 7: won't be surprised if they score two touchdowns in a game,
21:45
Speaker 7: you know, Kirk, Ingram Jones, Ridley, tank Etn Trevor. There's
21:52
Speaker 7: an unbelievablemount of firepower. He's got to play good, Bud.
21:57
Speaker 4: I mean, look you.
21:58
Speaker 6: That's that's it's the bottom line busines. So the performance
22:00
Speaker 6: is everything, but a production should be there. I'm on record,
22:03
Speaker 6: I've said it, I'm sitting on the podcast multiple times.
22:06
Speaker 6: I believe that they can have three one thousand yard receivers,
22:08
Speaker 6: you know, and a thousand yard back, and I don't
22:11
Speaker 6: have to really put names on it. I would expect
22:13
Speaker 6: Calvin really just certainly be one of those guys, but
22:15
Speaker 6: it could be Christian Kirk, he would's agents be Evan Ingram.
22:18
Speaker 6: Any of those remaining three can certainly go over the mark.
22:22
Speaker 6: And then with Travis Hittyen, what he's going to find
22:24
Speaker 6: He's gonna have so much more room to operate because
22:27
Speaker 6: you're going to have the double team Cavin really to
22:29
Speaker 6: Kelvin Ridley that has been on the practice field shows
22:32
Speaker 6: up game one.
22:33
Speaker 5: It's gonna be a problem.
22:34
Speaker 6: It's gonna be a problem for defenders and quickly defensive
22:36
Speaker 6: coordinators are going to have to adjust, and some of
22:38
Speaker 6: that adjustment it's going to require them to take people
22:40
Speaker 6: out the box.
22:41
Speaker 5: That creates lanes for Travis hits Yen, it creates opportunities
22:44
Speaker 5: for the others. For the first time in a long time.
22:47
Speaker 6: I can't even remember at the time that Jackson Millis
22:49
Speaker 6: had really had an offensive lead attack. But this is
22:52
Speaker 6: one that should be productive, explosive, fun to watch, put
22:56
Speaker 6: a lot of points up on the board.
22:57
Speaker 5: It's gonna be a different a different field.
22:59
Speaker 7: Than the yeah, JP, I think what Bucky said that
23:02
Speaker 7: really resonated with me just now. It's vogue sometime when
23:08
Speaker 7: analyzing teams for teams to sort of say, well, they've
23:12
Speaker 7: got to take our number one receivers a receiver away
23:15
Speaker 7: and I double them. I think that's said more often
23:20
Speaker 7: than its reality. But when you watch Ridley, you think,
23:25
Speaker 7: I mean, I can only go back to when I
23:27
Speaker 7: was covering to Marvis, Marvin Harrison and Indy and Jimmy
23:31
Speaker 7: here other teams said if we don't double cover those guys,
23:36
Speaker 7: we are going to lose the game because they will
23:39
Speaker 7: beat single and we will not have a chance to win.
23:42
Speaker 7: So there's a difference between that and a normal one
23:46
Speaker 7: who teams can say, ah, well it's fine, we don't
23:48
Speaker 7: really have to double.
23:49
Speaker 1: Yeah.
23:50
Speaker 7: So Ridley looks like a guy with his skill set.
23:54
Speaker 7: If you don't have a couple of guys on them
23:55
Speaker 7: and they get blocked, I mean, and you block the
23:58
Speaker 7: D line, he's going to score a true three touchdowns
24:02
Speaker 7: and you're going to lose the game. So it's a
24:04
Speaker 7: it's a big difference. I think he's that guy and
24:08
Speaker 7: if you double him. The Christian Kirkins a Jones one
24:10
Speaker 7: of those guy's gonna have single and they can both
24:12
Speaker 7: beat it.
24:15
Speaker 2: I mean, there's all those options.
24:17
Speaker 7: And you got Tank. I'm not sure, Bucket you Tank
24:20
Speaker 7: Bigsby to me looks like a starting frontline running back in.
24:24
Speaker 4: The Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh.
24:26
Speaker 5: When guy's giving away, giving away starting jobs over the
24:29
Speaker 5: jail job.
24:31
Speaker 7: I'm not saying he's going to start, but but I mean,
24:36
Speaker 7: would you be you know, I love Travis and what
24:39
Speaker 7: he brings, would you be worried if you have to
24:43
Speaker 7: go into games with Tank as a starter.
24:48
Speaker 6: Because he's he's He's shown far more than I anticipated
24:52
Speaker 6: seeing watching him one at Auburn. Loved how he was
24:55
Speaker 6: down he will runner, loved the violence and physicality that
24:58
Speaker 6: he displayed.
24:58
Speaker 5: But he's even different than just.
25:00
Speaker 6: Being a traditional downhill runner. What he displayed against Detroit,
25:04
Speaker 6: being able to scoot and cut and get to the outside,
25:07
Speaker 6: that's high end running back stuff. The thing about it now,
25:11
Speaker 6: I'm so fascinated about what Doug Peterson is going to
25:15
Speaker 6: do with this running back back rough.
25:17
Speaker 5: I will never say because bad thing. But you like.
25:21
Speaker 6: Having options, you like having the ability to change the game,
25:25
Speaker 6: and hey, you know what, we're gonna go eleven personnel, Tank,
25:28
Speaker 6: but Tank is in the game. We're gonna go twelve personnel.
25:31
Speaker 6: But Travis you're in, and we got Calvin. It's such
25:33
Speaker 6: and such an end like a lot of flexibility and
25:36
Speaker 6: the one thing that we've already seen very early in
25:38
Speaker 6: his tenure, Doug Peterson is a masterful play designer. And
25:41
Speaker 6: so when you talk about Calvin Ridley being a special
25:45
Speaker 6: route runner, someone who has extraordinary skills as a number one,
25:49
Speaker 6: Doug Peterson is going to dial up plays to get
25:51
Speaker 6: him loose. He also is going to find a way
25:54
Speaker 6: for Tank Bigsby to be a.
25:55
Speaker 4: Major factor in this offense.
25:57
Speaker 5: Yeah, I love it. I love what we're saying.
25:59
Speaker 7: Is a and I want to make sure this is
26:02
Speaker 7: this is heard right. I think he's a thousand yard
26:06
Speaker 7: running back who may not get the opportunity in this
26:09
Speaker 7: offense to get a thousand yards if you followed in
26:13
Speaker 7: in a different era when it was run centric league.
26:17
Speaker 7: I think he's a big time, big time running back. Uh,
26:20
Speaker 7: They'll find a way to use him. I don't know
26:21
Speaker 7: if if in this offense with this many weapons, with
26:25
Speaker 7: Travis etn who has to have, But I think he
26:28
Speaker 7: is a player capable clearly of doing that, whether or
26:32
Speaker 7: not he gets a chance to do it in this
26:33
Speaker 7: offense this year, with this many weapons, is a different story.
26:36
Speaker 5: Bucky o J I was, I was, I was getting worried.
26:39
Speaker 6: Well, I thought John was over there talking about we're
26:41
Speaker 6: gonna have three thousand yard receivers two thousand yard backs.
26:44
Speaker 5: Was like, hey on me.
26:49
Speaker 7: That ability, but in this offense, he won't get a chance.
26:53
Speaker 2: I mean, you're mad.
26:55
Speaker 6: Yeah, Look, I know we're gonna bust the clock and
26:57
Speaker 6: we're gonna put up numbers.
26:58
Speaker 4: I do expect this offense really explosive.
27:00
Speaker 5: I's got to be a top five.
27:02
Speaker 6: Offense, not only in yardage put up, but I think
27:05
Speaker 6: points are gonna be at a premium because Trevor Lawrence
27:07
Speaker 6: is very comfortable.
27:08
Speaker 5: We've seen that.
27:09
Speaker 6: But yeah, the running back combination, look, I feel bad
27:13
Speaker 6: right because we talked in the game about the Ernest
27:15
Speaker 6: Johnson and then get your Michael.
27:17
Speaker 5: Hasty and last year it took Connie and just in there.
27:20
Speaker 4: Like, I don't know, I don't know who's gonna.
27:22
Speaker 5: Be around, but I know tanking Travis at the enda're
27:24
Speaker 5: gonna play a lot because.
27:25
Speaker 6: They have to because when you see them, they're different.
27:28
Speaker 6: Travis is a nice uh scat back that can like
27:32
Speaker 6: hit it a few different ways and can catch out
27:33
Speaker 6: the backfield. But BIG's be giving them that presence and
27:36
Speaker 6: go all the way back to Philadelphia. And Douga has
27:38
Speaker 6: talked about the running back back committee that he had.
27:41
Speaker 4: He always had a big back and that back back
27:43
Speaker 4: then was the Garrett Blunt.
27:45
Speaker 5: And so the physical nature the way.
27:48
Speaker 6: That Biggsby runs, he's gonna carve out a nice role
27:50
Speaker 6: for himself in.
27:51
Speaker 7: The South's Yeah and back said the other day, the
27:55
Speaker 7: way his feet as he hits the hole, he stays
27:59
Speaker 7: over over his feet and then he accelerates out of
28:02
Speaker 7: the all he's he's interesting. I don't think again, I
28:07
Speaker 7: don't think we'll get a chance to see him quite
28:09
Speaker 7: as much in that prototypical old school running back rou
28:12
Speaker 7: because this isn't an old school offense. But it's going
28:16
Speaker 7: to be interesting to see how Doug used all his
28:18
Speaker 7: reader what Bucky said on it.
28:22
Speaker 6: No, it'll be funny, Like I can envision him being
28:25
Speaker 6: the guy that goes in.
28:26
Speaker 5: Every third series. Maybe maybe you have a two to.
28:30
Speaker 6: One like like maybe he gets thirty three percent of
28:34
Speaker 6: the stuff where Travis to take two series and comes
28:37
Speaker 6: Tang Bisbee to do some things. Maybe he's the guy
28:40
Speaker 6: in four minutes to close the game out.
28:42
Speaker 5: But the better you are, the more productive he.
28:44
Speaker 6: Is, the more to Doug A find a way to
28:46
Speaker 6: kind of work him into the rotation and use him
28:48
Speaker 6: as a regular playmaker.
28:49

29:38
Speaker 3: There's a couple of injuries up front. We'll keep an
29:40
Speaker 3: eye on the next week or two, but I'm ready
29:43

Speaker 3: on with the Colts. Richardson's gonna start there at quarterback,
29:52
Speaker 3: but the running back room is up in the air
29:55
Speaker 3: right now, Bucky. That's a couple of weeks away. We've
29:57
Speaker 3: got plenty of time to discuss that Chiefs are coming
30:00
Speaker 3: in week two. Then week three is here at home,
30:04
Speaker 3: then it's off to London two games. It's a first
30:06
Speaker 3: place schedule. In the back end, it gets a little
30:11
Speaker 3: you know, some good teams come into Jacksonville ate in
30:13
Speaker 3: the year, but we're there. We're on the doorstep. One
30:16
Speaker 3: more preseason game, Bucky, to go before we can really
30:19
Speaker 3: get the real football.
30:22
Speaker 5: Yeah, one more preseason game to go. But it's really
30:24
Speaker 5: important that this game has handled the.
30:26
Speaker 6: Right way, not only in terms of evaluating the players.
30:29
Speaker 5: At the bottom of the rocks to making sure you solidify.
30:31
Speaker 6: You fifty three and your private squad, but it's about
30:34
Speaker 6: the rhythm that both first team units display.
30:38
Speaker 5: How efficient and effective are we on offense? Is the
30:41
Speaker 5: execution look.
30:42
Speaker 4: Like it's at a high level?
30:43
Speaker 6: And then defensively, is do you see good tackling like
30:47
Speaker 6: we've seen throughout the pro seed the preseason, do you
30:49
Speaker 6: see a high level of execution and understanding of what
30:53
Speaker 6: Mike calwells asking them to do, and then you just
30:55
Speaker 6: see the.
30:56
Speaker 4: Guys flying around where.
30:57
Speaker 6: You can feel their energy and intensity as they gives
31:00
Speaker 6: ready for their first game.
31:01
Speaker 5: You want to see all those things you wanb to check.
31:02
Speaker 6: Off all those boxes to feel great about what you've
31:05
Speaker 6: done in training camp in the preseason.
31:07
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's an interesting game to watch the defense. The
31:10
Speaker 7: Dolphins have weapons, obviously, so you want to see them
31:14
Speaker 7: be able to get them off the field at least
31:17
Speaker 7: a few times and look like they can get some
31:19
Speaker 7: pressure and can cover. So I think that's something a
31:21
Speaker 7: lot of people are going to watch. Haven't talked about
31:24
Speaker 7: that that much this preseason because it's so hard to
31:26
Speaker 7: tell with the defense when you're not playing first team
31:28
Speaker 7: guys against first team guys, and they really haven't done
31:31
Speaker 7: that at all this preseason. So it's a defense's first
31:34
Speaker 7: shot against the first team offense and that'll be interesting.
31:38
Speaker 3: And you open up the bank for the first time,
31:41
Speaker 3: first time an actual game's been in there since the
31:44
Speaker 3: wild card playoff game. Fans are getting a chance to
31:47
Speaker 3: come see the Jags and a good opportunity to see
31:50
Speaker 3: the Jags, the starting Jags getting about two quarters in
31:53
Speaker 3: this game, and Trevor said he's fired up to see
31:55
Speaker 3: the fans back and I think we all are, Bucket.
31:57
Speaker 3: It's going to be a fun experience on Saturday night.
32:00
Speaker 5: Yeah, it should be a lot of fun.
32:02
Speaker 6: This is one that you want to make sure you
32:04
Speaker 6: pay close attention to allow them the line. For a
32:06
Speaker 6: lot of young guys that are playing for the NFL careers,
32:10
Speaker 6: this should be fun.
32:11
Speaker 5: The intensity should be off the charts.
32:12
Speaker 7: Hopefully. Let me cover it.
32:13
Speaker 2: JP, Well, maybe we'll see you there. That's John Oser. Bucky.
32:18
Speaker 3: We will certainly see you there, and they'll see you
32:20
Speaker 3: on television too.
32:22
