- 0:46Speaker 1: take all. If it's a tie, it goes to the Jags.
- 0:49Speaker 1: We've got some social media questions. We've got a lot
- 0:52Speaker 1: to get to today. Let's start with Trevor Lawrence today,
- 0:56Speaker 1: the Jaguars quarterback. This team was two and six at
- 1:00Speaker 1: one point. They've won six of the last eight to
- 1:03Speaker 1: get to eight and eight, and somebody in the building
- 1:07Speaker 1: saw it coming all along. I mean, we've known that
- 1:11Speaker 1: that this game was coming for a while and that
- 1:14Speaker 1: this is where we wanted to be week eight teen.
- 1:15Speaker 1: I mean coach Coach Peterson said it a few weeks ago.
- 1:20Speaker 1: You know, He's like, I got a crystal ball. It's
- 1:21Speaker 1: gonna this thing's gonna come down to week eight teen
- 1:23Speaker 1: and we're gonna have a shot. And we we just
- 1:25Speaker 1: all we jumped on board. We believed it, we kept
- 1:27Speaker 1: it into work and look we're here now. So that's
- 1:31Speaker 1: the quarterback full press conference available on Jaguars dot Com
- 1:33Speaker 1: Jaguars social media as well from today. We welcome in
- 1:37Speaker 1: John Osier, we welcome in Bucky Brooks, and here we are. John.
- 1:43Speaker 1: That's when you're gonna say, that's when you want to
- 1:45Speaker 1: pull Doug aside and say you didn't you didn't know.
- 1:51Speaker 1: But to their credit, they've talked it and talked it
- 1:56Speaker 1: and talked it and never and never quit on it.
- 2:00Speaker 1: And uh, there was a vibe Bucky all along. Did
- 2:07Speaker 1: they believe they were closer through all this than anybody
- 2:10Speaker 1: else did, And they've proven over the last eight weeks. Yeah,
- 2:14Speaker 1: they have proven it. Man. I don't know if I've
- 2:16Speaker 1: ever seen a team improved as much as the Jaguars
- 2:19Speaker 1: have improved over the course of the season. When you
- 2:21Speaker 1: think about the way the team started that first week
- 2:23Speaker 1: against the Commanders and the way that they finished last
- 2:26Speaker 1: week against the Taxes of an opportunity to win the
- 2:28Speaker 1: division and we k team, this team is really progressed,
- 2:32Speaker 1: and I think um the growth is really um reflected
- 2:36Speaker 1: in the way that the team talks. Doug Peterson has
- 2:38Speaker 1: talked about the Jaguars having to have their own process
- 2:41Speaker 1: or preparing and getting ready to play, but when you
- 2:43Speaker 1: hear the players, the players UH consistently talked about handling
- 2:47Speaker 1: what is right in front of them, whether that's practiced,
- 2:49Speaker 1: whether that's the game, whatever it is. And so this
- 2:52Speaker 1: team has kind of bought into that a one play
- 2:54Speaker 1: at a time, one day at a time, whatever it
- 2:56Speaker 1: is that Coach Peterson has been preaching and meetings and
- 3:00Speaker 1: it's paid it all because you talked about it. Man,
- 3:01Speaker 1: you don't win sticks out of your last eight games
- 3:03Speaker 1: and put yourself in a position to win a division
- 3:06Speaker 1: title without everything beginning to click. The team has a
- 3:09Speaker 1: lot of confidence and I think that bowls well for
- 3:11Speaker 1: the last game, and they've got a great bond together
- 3:14Speaker 1: in that locker room, and head coach Doug Peterson earlier
- 3:16Speaker 1: this week on Monday discussed that chemistry that has grown
- 3:20Speaker 1: as the year has gone on. It kind of builds
- 3:23Speaker 1: over the course of the year. Uh, every team. I mean,
- 3:26Speaker 1: you guys know, you go through adversity. You got the
- 3:29Speaker 1: highest loads of the season. We had a you know,
- 3:32Speaker 1: we had that stretch in October that wasn't very good,
- 3:35Speaker 1: um for us. And but I think that builds your character,
- 3:37Speaker 1: your team. And and and we stayed, we stayed the course.
- 3:41Speaker 1: We stayed you know, true to what we were doing. Um.
- 3:45Speaker 1: And and guys do become closer, they understand each other
- 3:49Speaker 1: a little bit better. And so you kind of as
- 3:51Speaker 1: you get into games like this, you know that the
- 3:54Speaker 1: player next to you has your back just like you
- 3:57Speaker 1: have his back. And and you know that's where uh,
- 4:02Speaker 1: that's where we're at with this football team. And and um,
- 4:05Speaker 1: you know that can that can carry a good way,
- 4:08Speaker 1: Well they've got to carry it at least one more
- 4:10Speaker 1: week and get a win or a tie against the
- 4:13Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans or all that is for not Bucky. I mean,
- 4:17Speaker 1: they will need some help if they lose this game
- 4:19Speaker 1: to backdoors a wild card. You don't want to get
- 4:21Speaker 1: to that situation. So, um, they don't fall short all
- 4:25Speaker 1: of a sudden and Week eighteen against the division rival either.
- 4:27Speaker 1: So you gotta finish this thing. Yeah, you gotta finish
- 4:31Speaker 1: the thing. But the thing that you can't do and
- 4:32Speaker 1: you can't let those thoughts creep into your mind. You
- 4:34Speaker 1: can't worry about, Oh, we've done all this would be
- 4:36Speaker 1: ashamed if we lose it. Um, after putting up there
- 4:40Speaker 1: in a position to win it, you really got to
- 4:41Speaker 1: focus on This is the Tennessee Titans. This is who
- 4:44Speaker 1: they're playing with. These are the plays that they like
- 4:45Speaker 1: to run. Uh, this is how we need to defend
- 4:48Speaker 1: those plays. Or we have the X two, offer the
- 4:50Speaker 1: plates and then go play. But the game comes down
- 4:52Speaker 1: to the same things that it's always comes down to.
- 4:55Speaker 1: Do you win the turnover battle? Uh? Do you avoid
- 4:57Speaker 1: the penalty? Do you not give up the big play
- 5:00Speaker 1: and make big plays? And then can you play a
- 5:02Speaker 1: game where you don't have errors in the kicking game?
- 5:05Speaker 1: You win those areas, you win the game. And so
- 5:07Speaker 1: the jaguarths have to keep it really simple like that
- 5:10Speaker 1: and not allowed the white noise or the pressure of
- 5:13Speaker 1: the moment to change the way that they prepared and
- 5:15Speaker 1: played the last few weeks. It's funny how pressure and
- 5:19Speaker 1: perspective change um. In late November early December, the attitude
- 5:28Speaker 1: and the approach was if if they can just get
- 5:31Speaker 1: in position and force that last game to be a
- 5:35Speaker 1: playoff game. And so in a sense, they've done that.
- 5:39Speaker 1: They've for where they were at mid season. They have
- 5:44Speaker 1: gotten into the playoffs, so to speak. So I think
- 5:48Speaker 1: that's the approach mentally overall that they will have going
- 5:52Speaker 1: into the game is uh, it's not house money. I'm
- 5:56Speaker 1: not saying that. But they've gotten into into situation where
- 5:59Speaker 1: now they have a five game playoff It starts on Sunday,
- 6:05Speaker 1: I mean on Saturday. And if if, if they keep winning,
- 6:09Speaker 1: now they control their destiny and they have as good
- 6:11Speaker 1: a chance as what any of the other thirteen fourteen teams.
- 6:14Speaker 1: You control their destiny to go win the things. So
- 6:17Speaker 1: I don't I don't expect. I've got a lot of
- 6:20Speaker 1: questions about pressure and about handling the moment um. I
- 6:25Speaker 1: think Doug Peterson has been here before a lot with
- 6:27Speaker 1: Philly in these late game situation, in the late season situations,
- 6:31Speaker 1: and he knows how to handle it. And I get
- 6:33Speaker 1: no sense JP in the locker room of being worried
- 6:37Speaker 1: about the moment or being too big for him, or
- 6:42Speaker 1: I just kinda ye know, Bucky, I guess I'll throw
- 6:46Speaker 1: it to you. This feels like ninety six to me.
- 6:49Speaker 1: I mean in terms of, uh, how they've gotten here
- 6:54Speaker 1: and now you just gotta go win and play. The
- 6:58Speaker 1: parallels are remarkable. Yet parallels are remarkable and have been
- 7:03Speaker 1: on that nineties six team. I've seen the familiarity between
- 7:06Speaker 1: the team in terms of getting hot, getting hot at
- 7:09Speaker 1: the right time. I think the difference is, though the
- 7:12Speaker 1: personality of the head coach, UH coach Cosler was one
- 7:15Speaker 1: who was a little more uptight um and so as
- 7:18Speaker 1: a result, I felt like we played very uptight in
- 7:21Speaker 1: that season finale against Atlanta Falcons. Back then, Doug Peterson
- 7:25Speaker 1: doesn't strike me as being that, and talking to him,
- 7:27Speaker 1: he talked about, look, man, we're gonna treat it the same.
- 7:29Speaker 1: We're not gonna make it bigger than what it is.
- 7:31Speaker 1: You gotta play the game. You still gotta execute and
- 7:33Speaker 1: do the same thing. And as long as he's cool
- 7:36Speaker 1: and all, as long as he's calm and exhibits the
- 7:39Speaker 1: ploys the team is going to follow the excuse from him,
- 7:42Speaker 1: and so I think the way he's handled everything, just
- 7:45Speaker 1: the tone assess the table for how the team has
- 7:48Speaker 1: going handled and so I expect them look to be
- 7:50Speaker 1: at the best. They're gonna be nervous by the time
- 7:52Speaker 1: we kick off, but I think they will settle in
- 7:54Speaker 1: and I think his experience as a super Bowl winner
- 7:57Speaker 1: will certainly help this team calm down and play their
- 7:59Speaker 1: best on set day night. There's the understatement of the show.
- 8:02Speaker 1: The head coach at ninety six was uptight John. We've
- 8:06Speaker 1: now learned there's a little bit of a personality difference
- 8:09Speaker 1: with Doug Peterson and Tom cough Break. But but I
- 8:14Speaker 1: do think that's real. I mean it's uh. I think
- 8:17Speaker 1: Doug's approach late season. I remember sort of looking at
- 8:21Speaker 1: this when he got hired, uh, looking for reasons, Okay,
- 8:26Speaker 1: what makes this guy a good head coach beyond play
- 8:28Speaker 1: calling whatever? And his ability to handle situations and uh,
- 8:37Speaker 1: I would say motivate but lead players. Late in the season,
- 8:41Speaker 1: losing Carson Wentzon going to win the Super Bowl. That
- 8:43Speaker 1: was that was a crisis moment in Philly. In December
- 8:47Speaker 1: of seventeen, and they went and thrived two more crisis
- 8:51Speaker 1: moments after that they won something like an eighteen and
- 8:56Speaker 1: nineteen after they won the Super Bowl. Like seven of
- 8:59Speaker 1: their last eight game is over those two seasons to
- 9:02Speaker 1: make the postseason late season rallies. Uh to handle those
- 9:06Speaker 1: moments in Philly with all the pressure on that and
- 9:11Speaker 1: and and keep that team winning big games late. Uh,
- 9:17Speaker 1: you don't do that by Fluke. He can handle these
- 9:20Speaker 1: moments and doesn't mind guiding a team through one, two, three,
- 9:26Speaker 1: four pressure games in a row, over and over again.
- 9:28Speaker 1: He's done so far here certainly has will I hope
- 9:33Speaker 1: that string can continue for the Jaguars, of course, starting
- 9:36Speaker 1: this week against Tennessee Titans Saturday night kickoff. We're back
- 9:40Speaker 1: in a moment. There are limited standing room only tickets
- 9:44Speaker 1: on sale for the Titans Jaguars matchup this Saturday. They're
- 9:47Speaker 1: going fast. They might be gone by the time you
- 9:50Speaker 1: hear this. By the way, that's how fast they're going.
- 9:53Speaker 1: Visit Jaguars dot com or call nine oh four six
- 9:55Speaker 1: three three, two thousand packed house expected at t I A. A.
- 10:00Speaker 1: Bank Field. We'll take a look at the Tennessee Titans
- 10:02Speaker 1: when we come back it's Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks
- 10:04Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Digital Network. It's really uh, you go
- 10:15Speaker 1: back in as coaches, you always want to turn over
- 10:18Speaker 1: every stone, and we went back and watched the preseason.
- 10:20Speaker 1: We played him in the preseason, and just go back
- 10:22Speaker 1: and you talk to you know, many people as you can,
- 10:25Speaker 1: and you just study the film and go back with
- 10:27Speaker 1: our scouting department. He was here for a while, so
- 10:30Speaker 1: you have a good deal of what type of person
- 10:33Speaker 1: he is. You know, right off the bat, real smart kids,
- 10:36Speaker 1: um handles their system well, athletic make the throw. So
- 10:41Speaker 1: it's a challenge for us. Do you go back to
- 10:42Speaker 1: college that always or he possibly, Well, my wife went
- 10:48Speaker 1: to the University of Tennessee, so I tryd to stay
- 10:50Speaker 1: away from that. Yeah, yeah, that's my cold. Well the
- 10:53Speaker 1: defensive coordinator on Joshua Dobbs, the quarterback for the Tennessee Titans.
- 10:59Speaker 1: He was I'm just a couple of weeks ago and
- 11:01Speaker 1: he made the start last week. They're the numbers twenty
- 11:05Speaker 1: thirty nine in the last week's ball game. And he
- 11:09Speaker 1: is a former Jaguar. In that twenty nineteen season when
- 11:13Speaker 1: Foles was here, got hurt menshu Mania all that stuff.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Dobbs was traded to the Jags in September of that season,
- 11:20Speaker 1: right after the falls injury, and was on the roster
- 11:22Speaker 1: all year. Did not see any time in games that
- 11:25Speaker 1: season for the Jags. Been awhile though. So we'll get
- 11:28Speaker 1: a good up close and personal look at what just
- 11:30Speaker 1: Josh Dobbs is up to. J P Shaddrick, John Ozier
- 11:33Speaker 1: and Bucky Brooks's huddle up on a Wednesday. The Jaguars
- 11:36Speaker 1: and the Titans coming up. So, Bucky, I mean you
- 11:40Speaker 1: sell out to stop the run and then make Josh
- 11:43Speaker 1: Dobbs beat you. Is that your approach? Absolutely? You absolutely
- 11:48Speaker 1: make him beat you. This has to be a game
- 11:49Speaker 1: where Josh Dobbs has to be the one to carry
- 11:52Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans offense. Everything is about Derrick Henry and
- 11:55Speaker 1: so you want to make sure that you stopped the
- 11:57Speaker 1: leading rushers and fourth the backup I can't even really
- 12:00Speaker 1: call him a backup quarterback. This is the guy that
- 12:02Speaker 1: was side off the street two weeks ago, and then
- 12:04Speaker 1: he's a starting quarterback for the Titan. So let's call
- 12:06Speaker 1: it what it is. He's a QB three, maybe a
- 12:09Speaker 1: QB four, because remember he was on the practice squad.
- 12:11Speaker 1: You want to make this guy have to make big
- 12:14Speaker 1: plays in big moments, and you don't want to make
- 12:16Speaker 1: it easy for him, and so changing the picture, send
- 12:20Speaker 1: them pressure, but making sure you take away the crutch,
- 12:22Speaker 1: which is Derrick Henry, make Josh Dobbs have to throw
- 12:25Speaker 1: the ball thirty five or four times, and make him
- 12:27Speaker 1: have to be an efficient and effective playmaker to win.
- 12:30Speaker 1: If he can do it, the man, you walk across
- 12:32Speaker 1: the field, you shake his hand, you congratulate them and
- 12:34Speaker 1: winning the division, but I suggest that he's not going
- 12:37Speaker 1: to be able to handle it, particularly in the second
- 12:39Speaker 1: NFL start of his career. Yeah, I wish I had more,
- 12:43Speaker 1: but I think it's as basic as that you stop
- 12:44Speaker 1: Derrick Henry and try to put Dobbs in situations in
- 12:49Speaker 1: long yardage where he's not throwing when they want him
- 12:53Speaker 1: to throw. Uh, that's very basic NFL. So if you
- 12:56Speaker 1: tuch that every quarterback, but against this guy, I think
- 13:00Speaker 1: it's key. I think in a cent it's good. Did
- 13:03Speaker 1: they have a little bit of film on him from
- 13:05Speaker 1: uh the Cowboys game. I think they had a chance
- 13:09Speaker 1: to avoid that scenario and sensation we all felt against
- 13:15Speaker 1: the Jets when all of a sudden they were facing
- 13:17Speaker 1: a quarterback that they didn't prepare for it all, and
- 13:22Speaker 1: the Jets had advantage for a little while because the
- 13:24Speaker 1: jack was were trying to adjust to it, and it
- 13:26Speaker 1: took some time with Dobbs. You know, there should be
- 13:30Speaker 1: a pretty good plan on how they want to do it.
- 13:32Speaker 1: There shouldn't be a whole lot of surprises. You know,
- 13:34Speaker 1: you would think they have a hole out their sleeves
- 13:36Speaker 1: for it. So stop Derrick Henry and make him make plays.
- 13:40Speaker 1: It's like, like he said, I think it's as simple
- 13:41Speaker 1: as that. They do have a couple of pass catchers
- 13:46Speaker 1: back around that we're not around trail and Burke's is
- 13:50Speaker 1: back in the fold. But you know, still got to
- 13:53Speaker 1: get the ball to him consistently. That's the big question.
- 13:55Speaker 1: He wasn't available last time out for Tennessee and back
- 13:58Speaker 1: in week fourteen. Let's sliping around now. On the other side,
- 14:01Speaker 1: the Titans defense, this is a beat up group. There's
- 14:04Speaker 1: guys all over the injury report, injured, reserved, Bucky, and
- 14:08Speaker 1: they're running low on fuel. At the end of the season,
- 14:10Speaker 1: it feels like on defense, yeah, they're running along a few,
- 14:14Speaker 1: but the silvery talented group as long as this group
- 14:16Speaker 1: as Jeffrey Simmons upfront is problematic because he is nearly
- 14:19Speaker 1: impossible to block at the point of attack. They also
- 14:22Speaker 1: have some other guys that are try hard players that
- 14:25Speaker 1: make things happen with Chard Weave and some of these
- 14:27Speaker 1: other guys, and so it'll be a challenge despite the injury.
- 14:30Speaker 1: One thing that you have to know going into this game,
- 14:33Speaker 1: you gotta throw out all the stuff that's happened before,
- 14:35Speaker 1: and you really gotta focus on the teams up the head.
- 14:37Speaker 1: And if you're might Rabel he said in that locker
- 14:39Speaker 1: room and said, God, we win this game, it doesn't matter.
- 14:41Speaker 1: Once you get into the postseason, no one cares what
- 14:43Speaker 1: your record. He is, and so we have a chance
- 14:45Speaker 1: to erase all the bad stuff that have happened this year. Man,
- 14:48Speaker 1: they're gonna be up for it. They're gonna be sky high,
- 14:50Speaker 1: and so it's gonna take a great effort up front
- 14:53Speaker 1: for the Jaguards to block him, and then it's gonna
- 14:55Speaker 1: take a handful of guys on the outside to be
- 14:57Speaker 1: able to make play. Yeah, this is I mean, in
- 15:00Speaker 1: no way is this an easy task. And I've I've
- 15:04Speaker 1: got an emails from people over the last few weeks
- 15:06Speaker 1: of Hey, John, have we got this because the Titans
- 15:10Speaker 1: are losing. Um. They it's not supposed to be easy
- 15:14Speaker 1: to win the division. You know, You're not supposed to
- 15:17Speaker 1: get a gimme uh put on the last play of
- 15:20Speaker 1: the game. So there are matchup advantages the Jaguars can
- 15:24Speaker 1: take advantage of. Uh. The Titans are beat up, their
- 15:28Speaker 1: secondary is still not where they would like it to be. Uh.
- 15:34Speaker 1: It doesn't mean you're gonna beat them twenty two, but
- 15:37Speaker 1: it means I think Trevor Lawrence has to make some
- 15:39Speaker 1: more special plays, and he has the last couple of games. Uh.
- 15:43Speaker 1: But overall, the matchup advantage of quarterback should be the
- 15:47Speaker 1: Jaguars matchup advantage in this game that really really matters,
- 15:51Speaker 1: and everybody else has to support that. So I expect
- 15:54Speaker 1: him to go win. I think they should go win.
- 15:56Speaker 1: But I don't think it's gonna be you know, I
- 15:58Speaker 1: don't think you're gonna be sell braiding in the third
- 16:01Speaker 1: quarter like you were against Houston. Okay, interesting, I like look, John,
- 16:08Speaker 1: John makes it a great point because I think everyone
- 16:10Speaker 1: has to go on with the expectations it's gonna be
- 16:13Speaker 1: a tight game. It's gonna be a game that's can
- 16:14Speaker 1: be decided in the fourth quarter. I think the fans
- 16:16Speaker 1: need to walk into the stadium expected that it's not
- 16:19Speaker 1: gonna be a party from the jump. Uh. These games
- 16:21Speaker 1: are always very, very difficult when it comes to winning
- 16:24Speaker 1: it because the division is hard to win and it
- 16:26Speaker 1: will be hard to come So you gotta remember the
- 16:28Speaker 1: Titans have won the division the last couple of years.
- 16:30Speaker 1: They know what it's like to hang the banner, they
- 16:32Speaker 1: know what it's like to win, and so the hardest
- 16:34Speaker 1: person to knockout is the champion. So the Jaguars have
- 16:37Speaker 1: to come in with the my mentality to knock him out.
- 16:40Speaker 1: But it it comes down to it, it typically comes
- 16:43Speaker 1: down the quarterback play. I'll take my chance with Trevor
- 16:45Speaker 1: Lawrence versus John Stupers. We'll come back and them. On
- 16:49Speaker 1: a social media questions, it's been a busy week already
- 16:52Speaker 1: and it's only Wednesday. On Jaguars social media, at least,

- 17:16Speaker 1: is Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network.
- 17:27Speaker 1: We're assuming all those guys are gonna be healthy. We'd
- 17:29Speaker 1: rather go into this thing assuming everybody's gonna make it.
- 17:31Speaker 1: They've obviously been dealing with the injury bug. Um sat
- 17:35Speaker 1: some guys they were probably trying to get recovered versus
- 17:38Speaker 1: Dallas Um. But we're assuming that their best gonna be
- 17:40Speaker 1: available at all times. And you know, it is a
- 17:43Speaker 1: very tough front to play against. Just I mean, they're tough,
- 17:46Speaker 1: they're physical, they're big, they're strong. They've done a great
- 17:48Speaker 1: job really against everybody they've played in terms of stopping
- 17:51Speaker 1: the run. Uh, they just present matchup issues in terms
- 17:54Speaker 1: of who they are, in the way they play, the
- 17:55Speaker 1: structure they played. That is Press Taylor, Jaguars offensive coordinator,
- 18:02Speaker 1: discussing the Titans defense and their injury issues. Welcome Back,
- 18:06Speaker 1: It's out of Love with Bucky Brooks, JP Shadrick john
- 18:08Speaker 1: Osan alongside the Jaguars, hosted the Tennessee Titans saturdaym ABC
- 18:14Speaker 1: at ESPN Television, the Monday Night Football crew is here.
- 18:18Speaker 1: That means bucking Aikman and uh assalters on the sideline
- 18:23Speaker 1: and it should be a fantastic scene. Sold out crowd
- 18:26Speaker 1: not yet real close, only living a tickets remaining, so
- 18:30Speaker 1: you better get them quick if you don't have them
- 18:32Speaker 1: already for a winner take all battle for the a
- 18:35Speaker 1: f C South. Let's get to social media. We put
- 18:39Speaker 1: out the cat signal earlier today. Here's the best we
- 18:42Speaker 1: came up with. Question one from at MSB eight nine four.
- 18:48Speaker 1: What do you think is the best way to attack
- 18:51Speaker 1: their defense this week? I'm killing them with crossers due
- 18:53Speaker 1: to their depleted linebacker corps man. I think it's a
- 19:00Speaker 1: little bit of both. I think the last game, Evan
- 19:02Speaker 1: Eagle had a huge game, so I think you want
- 19:04Speaker 1: to go back and see if they pix that issue
- 19:06Speaker 1: in terms of being able to solve the the the
- 19:09Speaker 1: tied end part of the offense. And then I think
- 19:12Speaker 1: you still have to be balanced enough to not allow
- 19:15Speaker 1: the Titans to be able to pee off and know
- 19:16Speaker 1: when you're going through them when you're gonna run. But
- 19:19Speaker 1: this is the game where you just want to get
- 19:20Speaker 1: the ball in the hands of your best players. This
- 19:22Speaker 1: is one where you always got to think players not played.
- 19:26Speaker 1: The ball needs to land in the hands of the
- 19:28Speaker 1: jaguars best players, not necessarily the best play calls that
- 19:32Speaker 1: Doug Peterson has the golf on the coach. I think
- 19:35Speaker 1: either Trevor Press alluded to today, this is a really
- 19:37Speaker 1: good run defense without really having to sell out to
- 19:43Speaker 1: do it. Uh. Travis Etn did not have a great
- 19:45Speaker 1: game up there. Uh, and Trevor Lawrence did and you
- 19:52Speaker 1: felt like it was it was because they were so
- 19:54Speaker 1: good against the run that the Jaguars just gonna said, Okay,
- 19:56Speaker 1: we're not gonna worry about that. We're gonna do just
- 19:59Speaker 1: enough to make sure that they have to respect it. Um.
- 20:03Speaker 1: You know, I think it's a little similar with e
- 20:05Speaker 1: t N as it was as it was last week. Uh.
- 20:09Speaker 1: I don't know that he's going to get a lot
- 20:10Speaker 1: of If he gets a hundred, I don't know it's
- 20:14Speaker 1: gonna be carries four yards apiece. Uh. You would like
- 20:18Speaker 1: to see him pop one or two, flip the field
- 20:21Speaker 1: a little bit, get that established, But I think it'll
- 20:23Speaker 1: be you know, a lot on the tight ends, a
- 20:27Speaker 1: lot of the misdirection type passing they've been doing. Uh,
- 20:30Speaker 1: that's their m O. And especially against the linebacker corps
- 20:33Speaker 1: that's struggling a little bit or injured a little bit
- 20:37Speaker 1: a little bit. Next question social media, we got a
- 20:41Speaker 1: couple of days this is that Shaw move one six
- 20:45Speaker 1: T How effective will the pass rush and run defense
- 20:48Speaker 1: be considering they have a practice squad quarterback at the
- 20:51Speaker 1: top five running back, I mean, what do you do it? Ahead?
- 20:59Speaker 1: What to do with the us the line, the offensive
- 21:01Speaker 1: line for the site to struggle uh for the last
- 21:03Speaker 1: half of the year, and so I think when you
- 21:05Speaker 1: look at the favorable matchup, you want to take advantage
- 21:07Speaker 1: of that. The guy that I would say that you
- 21:09Speaker 1: need to watch this week for the Jaguars, Art and Key.
- 21:12Speaker 1: Art and Key has been pretty big in spot in
- 21:15Speaker 1: terms of being a disruptive player at the point of attack.
- 21:17Speaker 1: I just remember being on the sideline that last game.
- 21:20Speaker 1: He was beginning to have his way with their people
- 21:22Speaker 1: at the point of attack. And so if the guys
- 21:25Speaker 1: up front, they have to be able to win. And
- 21:27Speaker 1: so if they can cover them on the outside and
- 21:29Speaker 1: then really commit the load in the box, it should
- 21:32Speaker 1: be very very difficult for the tendency Titan to move
- 21:34Speaker 1: the ball. But remember this, Derrick Henry had over a
- 21:37Speaker 1: hunting yard I think in the first quarter and a
- 21:40Speaker 1: half and the game didn't change until shot quarterman hit
- 21:44Speaker 1: him squarely in his chest. And so once again, someone
- 21:48Speaker 1: is going to have to kind of get the party
- 21:49Speaker 1: started with a big hit to slow down the big
- 21:51Speaker 1: running back, because if you slow him down, you pretty
- 21:54Speaker 1: much bottle up their offense. But someone's gonna have to
- 21:57Speaker 1: be courageous, someone's gonna have to deliver a big shot. Yeah,
- 22:00Speaker 1: And that's such a it's such an interesting part of
- 22:04Speaker 1: this game to me um this idea that again many
- 22:08Speaker 1: observers have that the Titans are just struggling coming in
- 22:11Speaker 1: and they they've lost sixth straight and then somehow they're
- 22:14Speaker 1: they're outmanned everywhere. But then when and then even the
- 22:19Speaker 1: results sort of makes you think that if you didn't
- 22:22Speaker 1: see it, but Henry ran all over him for a
- 22:27Speaker 1: half and he's still Derrick Henry, and it it took
- 22:30Speaker 1: an unusual amount of turnovers by that team for the
- 22:33Speaker 1: Jaguars to get ahead and eventually take Derrick Henry out
- 22:37Speaker 1: of the game. So, you know, I think the first
- 22:41Speaker 1: actually the first two or three series are really big.
- 22:44Speaker 1: Is this team slowing Derrick Henry down? Are they making
- 22:47Speaker 1: them not seem like a capable offense and then able
- 22:51Speaker 1: to get away from them a little bit like they
- 22:52Speaker 1: did last night? I think I think that's key. And
- 22:56Speaker 1: even with the offensive line being beaten up, it is
- 22:59Speaker 1: not a given that's that is so the matchup that
- 23:04Speaker 1: matters that it's hard to get beyond that matchup to me. Alright,
- 23:08Speaker 1: social media questions are in. We're back with our final
- 23:11Speaker 1: thoughts ahead of the winner take all Week eight teen
- 23:13Speaker 1: matchup the Tennessee Titans and the Jacksonville Jaguars coming up,
- 23:17Speaker 1: and this is Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks on the

- 24:14Speaker 1: It's un left with Bucky Brooks. Will take a live
- 24:16Speaker 1: look outside. There was a massive rainstorm that just came
- 24:19Speaker 1: through downtown Jacksonville. Apparently we're in the cave in here
- 24:22Speaker 1: so we can't hear or see anything outside, so this
- 24:25Speaker 1: is our only look all day outside. And well it's cloudy,
- 24:29Speaker 1: the sun setting now, but apparently it was nasty about
- 24:32Speaker 1: twenty minutes ago. But it's all. I've look at the
- 24:34Speaker 1: Miller Electric Center and it will be open for business
- 24:37Speaker 1: this summer ahead of training camp, is what we're told.
- 24:41Speaker 1: The Jaguars will move into the facility and have all
- 24:43Speaker 1: their practices there the indoor there, of course, and we're
- 24:46Speaker 1: looking forward to that. Huddle up with Bucky Brooks is
- 24:49Speaker 1: brought to you by Fields Auto Group, Jacksonville. Step up
- 24:51Speaker 1: to luxury Fields Auto dot Com. Well, the Jaguars and
- 24:55Speaker 1: the Titans like the picture. I like the rendering. I
- 24:58Speaker 1: really like seeing the dates of the new practice facility.
- 25:01Speaker 1: And I'm just I'm just hopeful that there's a little
- 25:03Speaker 1: spot for me somewhere in in in the office space
- 25:06Speaker 1: over there. You know, I'm not asking to be Russell Wilson,
- 25:08Speaker 1: but just like a little corner office, it would be nice.
- 25:10Speaker 1: I thought your agent would have handled that before let
- 25:14Speaker 1: this season, but no, you know, you know, JP, I
- 25:18Speaker 1: learned a long time ago sometimes you gotta ask for
- 25:20Speaker 1: what you want. So I'm just saying, sometimes you've got
- 25:23Speaker 1: to put it out there in the universe that it
- 25:24Speaker 1: would be nice to have like a little corner office
- 25:27Speaker 1: with like nice desk and big old monitor to watch
- 25:30Speaker 1: the tape and stuff like that. So I can, you know,
- 25:33Speaker 1: feel even more connected a little corner office. Okay, no
- 25:37Speaker 1: big deal, just you know, corner office kind of like
- 25:41Speaker 1: kind of like John. I always you gotta have a
- 25:44Speaker 1: nice little office there or whatever window to see but yeah,
- 25:48Speaker 1: something like that, kind of like John's. Now it's in
- 25:50Speaker 1: a corner and a little dungeon. I did have a
- 25:52Speaker 1: little corner. I would not even a little corner. Wow.
- 25:57Speaker 1: The Jaguars Titans matchup is Saturday Night, presented by Johnson
- 26:02Speaker 1: and Johnson Vision, the makers of Active You brand contact lenses,
- 26:05Speaker 1: providing healthy site for life. Proudly based in Jacksonville, visit
- 26:09Speaker 1: jj vision dot com. The winner takes it all. The
- 26:13Speaker 1: scene will be electric, Bucky, do they handle the moment? Yeah?
- 26:19Speaker 1: I think they handled the moment. I think it may
- 26:20Speaker 1: start out a little rocky because the nerves will be
- 26:23Speaker 1: a big part if it's a big game, the big
- 26:24Speaker 1: game for a big young team. But I think they're
- 26:27Speaker 1: gonna play well. I think this is a team that
- 26:28Speaker 1: has learned how to expect to win when they walk
- 26:30Speaker 1: out on the field. Uh, They're a better team, you know.
- 26:33Speaker 1: And I think they always have to understand that it
- 26:35Speaker 1: really comes out of that can they bottled up Derrick Henry?
- 26:38Speaker 1: That has to be the emphasis. That has to be
- 26:39Speaker 1: the deepensive emptatis if they take care of that part
- 26:42Speaker 1: and they avoid the turnover, Oh, they beat him, and
- 26:45Speaker 1: they're beat him pretty pretty soundly. Yeah, I uh, if
- 26:51Speaker 1: you assume that they stopped Derrick Henry, I'm with Bucky.
- 26:54Speaker 1: I think they win. And I'm not sure that the
- 26:57Speaker 1: Titans have any answers in that situation. And I think
- 27:04Speaker 1: that most because of injuries. This is a situation. I
- 27:06Speaker 1: think Titans are gonna be getting me fine moving forward,
- 27:09Speaker 1: but in this situation, if they stop, Henry h Boy,
- 27:14Speaker 1: you ought to win the game. I mean, it's it's eighth,
- 27:16Speaker 1: as simple as that. We'll see. The Titans, of course,
- 27:19Speaker 1: have won the last two a f C South titles.
- 27:21Speaker 1: The Jaguars are trying to win their fifth consecutive game,
- 27:25Speaker 1: and the last time they did that in a single
- 27:27Speaker 1: season was back in two thousand five. Also the same
- 27:30Speaker 1: year the last time the Jaguars swept the season series
- 27:34Speaker 1: against Tennessee. Looking to do that this Saturday night, Bucky
- 27:38Speaker 1: travels safe. We'll see you here at the bank under
- 27:41Speaker 1: the lights in prime time. Hey man, looking forward to it.
