0:26

Speaker 1: got a busy show ahead. NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks
0:32
Speaker 1: joins us every Wednesday, Jaguars dot Com senior writer will
0:36
Speaker 1: get his thoughts on what has gone on on Wednesday
0:40
Speaker 1: as the Jacks trying to turn the page and look
0:42
Speaker 1: ahead the week five against the Tennessee Titans. Well, here
0:46
Speaker 1: from Urban Meyer and his Wednesday press conference. Trevor Lawrence
0:50
Speaker 1: Josh Allen both spoke with the media today. We'll get
0:53
Speaker 1: some highlights from those guys. Also social media questions, a
0:56
Speaker 1: few of them to get to in today's show. Uh, Bucky,
1:00
Speaker 1: good afternoon. It's been an eventful few days since we've
1:03
Speaker 1: last spoken, and now it's it's onto Tennessee. Yeah, it's
1:09
Speaker 1: on the Tennessee Look, it's been a very eventful a
1:11
Speaker 1: few days, a lot of things going on around Jacksonville.
1:14
Speaker 1: But I think right now when you get the Wednesday, uh,
1:17
Speaker 1: it's the heavy work day when it comes to the team,
1:19
Speaker 1: I think what you're trying to do is get all
1:21
Speaker 1: odds ready for Sunday, getting ready for the Tennessee Titans,
1:24
Speaker 1: and you put everything that's into rear view, you leave
1:26
Speaker 1: it in the rearview, you move forward. Yeah, it's all
1:28
Speaker 1: about moving ahead, John, getting getting onto Tennessee and trying
1:32
Speaker 1: to put this thing behind them. It hasn't been as
1:34
Speaker 1: easy the last couple of days to do that, but
1:36
Speaker 1: now it's it's focused time. Well it is, and I'm
1:39
Speaker 1: sure we'll get into some of the details later. But
1:41
Speaker 1: you know, I have a statement in a question for
1:44
Speaker 1: the scout. You know, we're not actually for the scout.
1:47
Speaker 1: This is for the former player. From a media standpoint.
1:52
Speaker 1: In twenty seven years doing this, I've never gotten a
1:55
Speaker 1: huge impression that off field distractions are as big a
2:00
Speaker 1: deal as we like to talk about. That players typically
2:04
Speaker 1: come in, they do their job, they're going to practice,
2:07
Speaker 1: and there's not a whole lot on the practice field
2:10
Speaker 1: or in the meeting room except for concentrating on the game.
2:13
Speaker 1: Am I naive? B No, I think that is it. UM.
2:17
Speaker 1: I think the story is I'm gonna try and see
2:19
Speaker 1: it in in terms that won't necessarily give me in trouble.
2:22
Speaker 1: But I think the story is a little overblown for
2:24
Speaker 1: what it really is. UM. I think people can have
2:27
Speaker 1: different opinions on where the coaches um in line when
2:31
Speaker 1: it comes to them his morals and all the other stuff,
2:34
Speaker 1: that's one thing. But when it comes to coaching the team,
2:36
Speaker 1: I think, depending on how he addressed the team when
2:39
Speaker 1: he returned, I think this is something that they can
2:41
Speaker 1: move on for and maybe even be galvanized, um by
2:45
Speaker 1: the actions because look the the fallout and all of
2:48
Speaker 1: the other stuff that has come out. UM. I don't
2:51
Speaker 1: know if if the punishment necessarily meets the crime when
2:55
Speaker 1: it comes to the level of criticism and all of
2:57
Speaker 1: this other stuff. And so I think, depending up on
3:00
Speaker 1: how vulnerable coaches with the team, I think this could
3:03
Speaker 1: be a moment where look, man, they kind of pull
3:04
Speaker 1: it together and maybe just maybe with the concert traded
3:08
Speaker 1: effort on the practice field and then the way they
3:10
Speaker 1: played the game, maybe you end up seeing the Jaguars
3:12
Speaker 1: playing really really well because prior to the stuff that
3:15
Speaker 1: happened over the weekend. On Thursday night, the team played
3:18
Speaker 1: fairly well. Couldn't finish the deal, but it was probably
3:21
Speaker 1: the best effort that we've seen from the Jaguars. And
3:24
Speaker 1: so if you look at the way the team has
3:25
Speaker 1: progressed over the four weeks, each and every week they've
3:28
Speaker 1: gotten better. So the anticipation would be a they would
3:31
Speaker 1: continue to get better with a mini bye week in between.
3:34
Speaker 1: Let's hear from Urban Meyer today, hopefully one of the
3:38
Speaker 1: final comments on the situation the last three days in
3:41
Speaker 1: this Wednesday press conference. Today had UH at least three
3:47
Speaker 1: or four conversations with Shod. Message is loud and clear,
3:51
Speaker 1: and I agree with UM. Also met with the team
3:56
Speaker 1: on Monday individually, and then today I had a very
4:00
Speaker 1: UH pointed conversation with them UM owning a stupid mistake
4:05
Speaker 1: that I made, and that a job of a coach
4:09
Speaker 1: is to number one, health and safety of a player.
4:12
Speaker 1: Number two is motivate them and bring out the greatness
4:14
Speaker 1: in him. And number three is UH, give me everything
4:17
Speaker 1: possible to be successful and we have a great locker room,
4:20
Speaker 1: and then get the heck out of the way, and
4:22
Speaker 1: I apologize for a destruction with a huge week coming up,
4:25
Speaker 1: especially after they played. I made so much improvement from
4:28
Speaker 1: week one to week four. So that was a conversation.
4:32
Speaker 1: That's rban Meyer earlier today the full press conference available
4:36
Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot Com. A little later in the day,
4:38
Speaker 1: Josh Allen said, basically, but but you had been saying,
4:41
Speaker 1: Bucky that when the when they walk in the building,
4:44
Speaker 1: it's all football once they crossed that It used to
4:47
Speaker 1: be the concentration line right back in the old days
4:50
Speaker 1: to go to the practice field, once you go through
4:52
Speaker 1: that gate and punching your code. For Josh Allen, at
4:55
Speaker 1: least it felt like, hey, this is this is all
4:58
Speaker 1: football a the time now, which is good. Yeah, it's
5:02
Speaker 1: all football all the time. And look, there's a lot
5:04
Speaker 1: that's going to be made about coach having to earn
5:06
Speaker 1: back the trust of the team and the respect of
5:09
Speaker 1: the team and those things. And look, there there's gonna
5:12
Speaker 1: be like a divide where there's gonna be a bunch
5:15
Speaker 1: of guys that are gonna follow the coach maker because
5:17
Speaker 1: they believe in him, they love what he's about, they
5:19
Speaker 1: love what he represents, and they still look at him
5:22
Speaker 1: um with loving eyes based on what he's been able
5:24
Speaker 1: to accomplish as a college coach. There's another faction of
5:27
Speaker 1: the team that's still trying to figure out who he
5:29
Speaker 1: is and what he's about, and is this program that
5:31
Speaker 1: he's implemented in Jacksonville going to work. And then there's
5:34
Speaker 1: a small minority of small faction folks that kind of
5:37
Speaker 1: look at him like, hey man, does the college coach
5:39
Speaker 1: really know what he's doing. I don't know about all
5:41
Speaker 1: this other stuff, but I want to kind of do
5:42
Speaker 1: it because I want to be around. Those are the
5:44
Speaker 1: ones that might be maybe the squeaky wheels that need
5:47
Speaker 1: a little grease when it comes to coach mind getting
5:50
Speaker 1: them on board. But at the end of the day,
5:52
Speaker 1: for most players, if the guy in the front of
5:54
Speaker 1: the room can sell up, present a plan, sell a
5:58
Speaker 1: plan that is a winning plan, and then find a
6:00
Speaker 1: way to get everyone on board and then it results
6:03
Speaker 1: in wins, all of this other stuff will go by
6:06
Speaker 1: the wayside. And let's just be honest. If the team
6:09
Speaker 1: was not owing four, this would not be that big
6:12
Speaker 1: of a deal. If he was fourn Oh, if the
6:14
Speaker 1: team was fourgn Oh coming off a win on Thursday night,
6:17
Speaker 1: it would be presented in a different light. But because
6:19
Speaker 1: it's an one four team hanging as part of a
6:23
Speaker 1: nineteen game losing streak, that's really why he is is
6:26
Speaker 1: escalated in mushroom. So the best thing that I would
6:31
Speaker 1: tell in anybody players coaches someone who has messed up,
6:34
Speaker 1: the best thing that you can do is play well,
6:36
Speaker 1: because if they go out and play well on Sunday,
6:39
Speaker 1: all of it, for the most part, will be forgotten
6:41
Speaker 1: and then the jack was to be able to move
6:43
Speaker 1: on to something new next week. Now Johnny makes this
6:45
Speaker 1: game Sunday. Um, it's already big Anyway Division game and
6:49
Speaker 1: all that, it just feels a lot bigger now. Yeah, JP,
6:54
Speaker 1: We've talked about this a lot. I believe that basically
6:57
Speaker 1: NFL head coaching is far more about whether the players
7:01
Speaker 1: buy into your message, whatever that message is. If they
7:04
Speaker 1: believe it in play for you, then that's what it is.
7:07
Speaker 1: It's not so much ex as and ohs or whatever.
7:09
Speaker 1: So I do think Bucky's right. A win Sunday and
7:13
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, those players who all talk, and
7:16
Speaker 1: a lot of them are young, so they don't really
7:17
Speaker 1: know what the league is all about. But if you
7:19
Speaker 1: win Sunday. All of a sudden, these players are home
7:23
Speaker 1: or they're out on Sunday going hey see, hey, hey
7:27
Speaker 1: we did it. If you don't win Sunday, then all
7:29
Speaker 1: of a sudden, these players start listening to social media
7:31
Speaker 1: and think, well, maybe not know what he's doing so
7:34
Speaker 1: and that can still be pulled back by playing well
7:38
Speaker 1: moving forward, but you've got those conversations. So in that sense,
7:42
Speaker 1: perception is reality. I don't necessarily notice if they win
7:45
Speaker 1: or lose on Sunday, it means that they rallied around
7:48
Speaker 1: him or not. But based on what happens on Sunday,
7:51
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a conversation nationally and locally, and players
7:55
Speaker 1: do listen to that conversation. So in that sense, I
7:57
Speaker 1: think it's really important. Yeah, Jiffy, let me follow with
8:01
Speaker 1: this um and here's the thing and see because what
8:04
Speaker 1: coach Meyer wants to do, right, because there's there's there's
8:07
Speaker 1: a way that he can approach this where it can
8:09
Speaker 1: it can be the Jaguars against the world. Right. But
8:12
Speaker 1: the thing that you don't know is when you're stand
8:14
Speaker 1: in front of the room with the players, you don't
8:16
Speaker 1: know how many of the players are going to leak
8:18
Speaker 1: out some of these conversations in the team room to
8:22
Speaker 1: the media. So he has to kind of be careful
8:25
Speaker 1: and how he approaches it because it can be a
8:28
Speaker 1: galvanizing moment, but it also can be one of those
8:31
Speaker 1: things where if the information gets outside of the building,
8:35
Speaker 1: then it's not necessarily what you want. Because this is
8:38
Speaker 1: one where I think typically man, I would say, a
8:41
Speaker 1: very competitive person. When you're back into the corner, you
8:44
Speaker 1: might see the best coaching job that you've seen from
8:46
Speaker 1: coach Maker, right, because this is one of those things where, look,
8:50
Speaker 1: everyone is taking shots at him the entire week, and
8:52
Speaker 1: there were already people that didn't necessarily like him or
8:55
Speaker 1: believe in the job that he was going to do
8:57
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. When now that you have
9:00
Speaker 1: all of this, it gets you the fighter in you
9:03
Speaker 1: is like, oh no, I'm not going to succme to
9:04
Speaker 1: the weight of all this. I Am going to find
9:06
Speaker 1: a way to dig us out. And so look, we've
9:09
Speaker 1: seen him, someone who was intensely competitive, try and figure
9:12
Speaker 1: it out. I think this is an all hands on
9:14
Speaker 1: deck effort from coach Meyer to try and get this right,
9:17
Speaker 1: and try and get it right this weekend so they
9:19
Speaker 1: can put all that other stuff behind it all right,
9:22
Speaker 1: putting ahead on Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks. Will come
9:25
Speaker 1: back in a moment and get to this Sunday's game
9:28
Speaker 1: against the Tennessee Titans and Derrick Henry how did the
9:32
Speaker 1: Jaguars slow him down? Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks is
9:35
Speaker 1: brought to you by Fields Cadillac of Jacksonville and Fields
9:38
Speaker 1: Cadillacs St. Augustine, members of the Fields Auto Group. We're
9:42
Speaker 1: often running on Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks on the
9:45
Speaker 1: Jaguars Digital Network. I know, for us chess man, uh,
10:01
Speaker 1: you know, rue, our main you know, goals and parity
10:04
Speaker 1: as a you know, for the season of goals is
10:06
Speaker 1: to stop the run. And you know when you have
10:09
Speaker 1: a guy that's specifically the best friend of back of
10:11
Speaker 1: the nation football league, who has the numbers, who has
10:14
Speaker 1: good talent, you know, who was the heck of a back,
10:16
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, especially coming from an oh
10:18
Speaker 1: four over four and we're looking to get our first
10:20
Speaker 1: one and we you know, chucking league, this one's gonna
10:23
Speaker 1: be the first one. Uh, It's gonna be a tallenge,
10:25
Speaker 1: but you know, our job isn't stop the run. And
10:27
Speaker 1: we've been doing a heck of a job. Our guy
10:29
Speaker 1: has been busting the tails, running to the ball as
10:31
Speaker 1: much as you can. And this is another opportunity for
10:33
Speaker 1: us to show him. You know, I got our defensive
10:36
Speaker 1: and we're ready for the talents. Man. We're looking forward
10:38
Speaker 1: to it. And there's Josh Allen, Jaguar's outside linebacker and
10:42
Speaker 1: welcome back. Huddle up with Bucky Brooks, j P. Shadrick
10:46
Speaker 1: with you, John Osier along as well today and yes,
10:49
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to continue to stop the run. Bucky
10:52
Speaker 1: against the top running back in the National Football League.
10:56
Speaker 1: He leads the league and carry's rushing yards, he's tied
10:59
Speaker 1: for the league lead and rush touchdowns. Yet again, it's
11:02
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. We've seen this firsthand over and over and
11:06
Speaker 1: over again throughout the years. Here, how do you begin
11:10
Speaker 1: to slow down this running game for the Titans? Uh? No,
11:13
Speaker 1: more things you gotta load to box. You gotta make
11:15
Speaker 1: sure that you can whip the Titans with numbers. And
11:18
Speaker 1: so in whipping them with numbers, you have to be
11:20
Speaker 1: okay hanging your corners out to dry a little bit
11:23
Speaker 1: against some talented wide receivers. If A. J. Brown and
11:26
Speaker 1: Julio Jones play um. That's it. Uh. The number one
11:31
Speaker 1: priority has to be to stop Derrick Henry, because when
11:33
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry gets going, it changes the tenor of this offense.
11:36
Speaker 1: This offense is a old school smash. My offense is
11:39
Speaker 1: one that Jaguars fans can look and squint and they
11:42
Speaker 1: see Eddie George in the backfield and the same way
11:44
Speaker 1: that they used to get down years and years and
11:46
Speaker 1: years on end um. And the reason why you need
11:49
Speaker 1: to whip them with numbers is because what the Titans
11:51
Speaker 1: like to do, much like those old Titans and Oilers
11:54
Speaker 1: teams used to do with Eddie George. They want to
11:56
Speaker 1: have the wide receivers come inside and crack on the safeties,
11:59
Speaker 1: and they want to leave the big boy one on
12:02
Speaker 1: one with the cornerback, so that means Shack Griffin. Tyson
12:05
Speaker 1: Campbell could have a long day of having to deal
12:07
Speaker 1: with two fifty pound sledge hammer over sixty minutes. And
12:11
Speaker 1: so you gotta drop somebody down in the box. You
12:13
Speaker 1: gotta have racheon Jenks and those guys find a way
12:16
Speaker 1: to get around, and you need everyone running to the ball,
12:18
Speaker 1: and you have to get him before he gets going.
12:22
Speaker 1: He is a long strider, and it takes a little
12:24
Speaker 1: bit for him to get the momentum going. So the
12:26
Speaker 1: best thing that you can do is blitz, stunt, slant,
12:29
Speaker 1: get defenders and bodies in the backfield so he can't
12:33
Speaker 1: get the momentum going because when he gets going and
12:35
Speaker 1: going downhill, it's like a mack truck going downhill and
12:38
Speaker 1: no one wants to be in the way. Well, John,
12:43
Speaker 1: I mean, there's not really much else to say. We've
12:45
Speaker 1: seen this so many times before over the years, and
12:47
Speaker 1: it's exactly how you described it, right. The bodies are flying,
12:51
Speaker 1: he's stiff arming people. There's I mean, that's what it is. John.
12:55
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I had maybe cheat, maybe you
12:59
Speaker 1: add guy, or maybe you build something something large, strimm
13:05
Speaker 1: you some sort of truck. Uh, And I mean in facetious.
13:08
Speaker 1: But he has beaten him so often. Uh, you know
13:11
Speaker 1: sometimes pregame storylines Guys, we've all been around him, and
13:16
Speaker 1: you're right, it's okay to match up and and then
13:18
Speaker 1: once the game gets started, like, wow, that was kind
13:20
Speaker 1: of you know, I was just reaching for something with
13:23
Speaker 1: this matchup, this rivalry, this man, and he is a man.
13:27
Speaker 1: There's no other pregame storyline except this, in the first
13:33
Speaker 1: September and early October meetings against this guy, the Jaguars
13:37
Speaker 1: have actually fared well. It hasn't been until the end
13:40
Speaker 1: of the season matchups December when it's cold usually under there.
13:44
Speaker 1: Last year it was here. And my theory, you know,
13:46
Speaker 1: last the last few years, and I've voiced this last year,
13:48
Speaker 1: maybe the year before. When the Jaguars feel like they're
13:51
Speaker 1: in it and they're playing for something, they play okay
13:54
Speaker 1: against this guy. It's been December, when you sort of
13:58
Speaker 1: know deep down that you're out of the playoffs, it
14:01
Speaker 1: becomes less good. That's my word on that. Less good
14:07
Speaker 1: to try to tackle Derrick Henry. So I think that okay.
14:12
Speaker 1: My question is once they build, you know, once they
14:15
Speaker 1: built that wall in the corners cover if Julio and
14:19
Speaker 1: A J. Brown are playing, you know, that concerns me
14:23
Speaker 1: as much as Derrick Hennery. But you got to build
14:25
Speaker 1: that brick wall. Yeah, Look, the wall has to be
14:29
Speaker 1: uh erected to slow down Derrick Kenry is It's the
14:33
Speaker 1: number one priority. I can see it here and say
14:34
Speaker 1: and being fearful of Julio Jones and A J. Brown
14:37
Speaker 1: going big. But the one thing I do know for
14:40
Speaker 1: sure is that if Derrick Henry goes big, is going
14:42
Speaker 1: to result in a loss. And so you got to
14:45
Speaker 1: make sure that he is a non factor. And here's
14:48
Speaker 1: what I will give the Tennessee Titans credit for. They
14:50
Speaker 1: will stick with them. They don't care how slow it starts,
14:54
Speaker 1: they don't care what it looks like early in the game.
14:56
Speaker 1: Derrick Kennry is going to finish the game with thirty
14:59
Speaker 1: plus touches and most of those are gonna be on
15:01
Speaker 1: the ground. The thing that is scary now is that
15:03
Speaker 1: they're using them in the screen game and kind of
15:05
Speaker 1: dropping into him. So now you have this, uh, I
15:09
Speaker 1: mean almost like an Office of Tackle running the ball
15:11
Speaker 1: in space with a bunch of little bodies. And he's
15:14
Speaker 1: violent and he's angry and he's throwing people off, and
15:17
Speaker 1: I mean it's like one of those movies Man was
15:20
Speaker 1: a King con versus Gods. He's just swatting helicopters in
15:23
Speaker 1: all this around. I mean, this is this is not
15:26
Speaker 1: a This is not a pretty say like, I'm glad
15:28
Speaker 1: that the twenty two with b Brooks on the back
15:30
Speaker 1: is no longer participating this because I I don't want
15:32
Speaker 1: any parts that they can't be an open field. Look
15:34
Speaker 1: out Tokyo. Do you guys remember the old cartoons. But
15:41
Speaker 1: they would have the big guy and they'd be like
15:43
Speaker 1: eight little guys playing football and they'll be chasing, that'll
15:46
Speaker 1: be bouncing around, this dust flying around, and then the
15:50
Speaker 1: guy at the very end would touch the ball down.
15:53
Speaker 1: That's what Derrick. He reminds me of the giant playing
15:55
Speaker 1: against boys sometimes. I mean, it's unbelievable, man, j before
16:00
Speaker 1: your time, it was for my time. In fact, it
16:03
Speaker 1: was not before every Meyer's time. The Jaguars head coach
16:06
Speaker 1: has seen Derrick Henry firsthand before in a previous role,
16:12
Speaker 1: actually coached against him in one of those bowl games. Uh,
16:15
Speaker 1: he is a monster. He's one of the best combinations
16:19
Speaker 1: the size and speed. You know, he starts. Everybody says it.
16:22
Speaker 1: I remember I was with Trent. We're watching video and
16:25
Speaker 1: we can't let him get started. That's much easier to say,
16:28
Speaker 1: and I think I'm sure Derek would say that. I'm
16:31
Speaker 1: not really ready to interviews. But their offense line is
16:33
Speaker 1: really good, and uh, their scheme is really good. So
16:38
Speaker 1: um that's this is a really good offensive team led
16:40
Speaker 1: by one of the best players in the NFL. So
16:43
Speaker 1: it's priority number one for the Jaguars. Slowdown, Derrick Henry.
16:46
Speaker 1: We're gonna come back in a moment and we'll hear
16:49
Speaker 1: from Trevor Lawrence. We'll get to some social media questions
16:52
Speaker 1: and plenty more ahead. This is Huddle Up with Bucky
16:56
Speaker 1: Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network. We'll focus like that.
17:16
Speaker 1: Haven't change um when we get out there, it's it's
17:18
Speaker 1: time to work from Meetings have been great, communication has
17:21
Speaker 1: been really good. Obviously, we're coming off a tough one
17:23
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. Again, we felt like we should have won
17:26
Speaker 1: that we had. You know, we were in at the
17:28
Speaker 1: whole game, and um, I just gotta get better at finishing.
17:32
Speaker 1: And that's where you know, we're looking to make an
17:34
Speaker 1: improvement this week. I feel like every week we've gotten better.
17:36
Speaker 1: So I'm just excited to put another full game together
17:39
Speaker 1: and go finish it. That's Trevor Lawrence today and welcome back.
17:43
Speaker 1: It's Huddled Up with Bucky Brooks, JP, Shadrick, John Osier.
17:46
Speaker 1: Glad you're along with us on this Wednesday afternoon. It's
17:48
Speaker 1: Week five. The Jaguars are turning the page trying to
17:51
Speaker 1: to face the Tennessee Titans at t I a bank
17:55
Speaker 1: Field one o'clock kickoff time this Sunday. The Jaguars trying
17:59
Speaker 1: to snap a four aims get to start the season
18:01
Speaker 1: nineteen in a row now, and that goes back to
18:04
Speaker 1: Week two of the twenty campaign. The offense had their
18:08
Speaker 1: moments last week, Bucky, where Trevor made some big throws.
18:12
Speaker 1: They had the running game going early. They had a
18:15
Speaker 1: really big, big drive I thought in the third quarter
18:18
Speaker 1: when the game got tied up fourteen fourteen, all the
18:21
Speaker 1: momentums going Cincinnati's way, and they marched down the field
18:24
Speaker 1: eleven plays and get it in the end zone and
18:27
Speaker 1: regain the lead. John, you said it this morning on
18:30
Speaker 1: a on a show we had. I don't remember many
18:33
Speaker 1: drives like that around here over the last ten years
18:35
Speaker 1: or so that that I've been around here going to
18:38
Speaker 1: answer when things aren't going well. That was a big
18:41
Speaker 1: moment for this offense. We need a little bit more
18:43
Speaker 1: of that, Bucky. Yeah, we absolutely need more of that. Um.
18:47
Speaker 1: There's a lot of good things to take out of
18:49
Speaker 1: the Thursday night effort against the Cincinnati Bengals. Uh. The
18:53
Speaker 1: number one thing, I felt like Trevor was very, very
18:55
Speaker 1: comfortable in what he was doing. I felt like the
18:57
Speaker 1: coaches to have met him halfway did some things that
18:59
Speaker 1: he used to doing college that allowed him to really
19:01
Speaker 1: settle into his comfort zone. We saw him run a
19:03
Speaker 1: little bit more, We saw him do some zone read stuff.
19:06
Speaker 1: We saw the quick game in terms of the screens
19:09
Speaker 1: and quicks and ball getting out of his hands. And
19:11
Speaker 1: then we saw him make a couple of big time
19:13
Speaker 1: throws where you're like, Okay, yeah, that's why he's NUB
19:14
Speaker 1: one overall pick. But the second thing that they did
19:17
Speaker 1: is they ran the football and they were committed to
19:19
Speaker 1: running the ball. James Robinson uh continues to improve. More touches,
19:23
Speaker 1: more yards, more yards means more impact. Got in the
19:27
Speaker 1: end zone twice, and because the offense was rolling, it
19:30
Speaker 1: was rolling using a balanced approach, took a lot of
19:33
Speaker 1: pressure off of Trevor Lawrence. And then defensively, early in
19:37
Speaker 1: the game, they did a good job of controlling Cincinnati Bengals,
19:40
Speaker 1: stopping the run game and that stuff. But then Zach
19:43
Speaker 1: Taylan Joe Burrow started playing chess and we were playing checkers,
19:47
Speaker 1: and we didn't have an answer to the empty formation
19:49
Speaker 1: and some of the heavy formasons that they threw at us.
19:52
Speaker 1: And once they found that, man, we just couldn't figure
19:55
Speaker 1: out the best way to deal with it. And so
19:57
Speaker 1: that's where the game kind of fell a bar for us.
20:00
Speaker 1: Two weeks in road, John, that's happened second half, unable
20:03
Speaker 1: to maintain a lead. Well, I know there's more to
20:07
Speaker 1: it than this. Fuck, he's the exce ANDOS guy. I
20:10
Speaker 1: just sort of see it and hopeing them right and
20:11
Speaker 1: hope that Bucky's not embarrassed me on the same show
20:14
Speaker 1: with but it, Uh, it looked to me in the
20:19
Speaker 1: last couple of games like a offensive team with pretty
20:24
Speaker 1: big time talent at some crucial spots went into halftime
20:29
Speaker 1: and figured out, Okay, we've done this, we've done this,
20:33
Speaker 1: but here's where we can beat this team. Here's where
20:37
Speaker 1: maybe their talent or their experience isn't quite there yet.
20:40
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow clearly came out in the second half, picked
20:42
Speaker 1: on Tyson Campbell who was struggled with deep passes, and
20:46
Speaker 1: that sort of changed the momentum of the game. So, uh,
20:49
Speaker 1: was it the fact that or was any case of
20:53
Speaker 1: Joe Colin not being able to counter it, or is
20:56
Speaker 1: it more case with the Jaguars players right now? Maybe
20:59
Speaker 1: they're not right at the level are the receivers they're covering.
21:02
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's what it looked like to me.
21:05
Speaker 1: So those guys have to step up and make that
21:08
Speaker 1: play once they're identified as being the point they're gonna attack.
21:12
Speaker 1: So far, they haven't done that in the second half. No,
21:15
Speaker 1: they haven't done it. And I think Johnny bring up
21:17
Speaker 1: a couple of good points. Uh. The first one, UH,
21:20
Speaker 1: teams are going in a half time, they're coming out
21:22
Speaker 1: with some adjustments, and Joe Cullen and the staff have
21:24
Speaker 1: been slow to kind of come up with answers and
21:26
Speaker 1: solutions to those problems. The second thing is there has
21:30
Speaker 1: been a case of hey, let's play uh Marco Marco
21:33
Speaker 1: Polo or Waldo or whatever game you want to say,
21:37
Speaker 1: and they're trying to find a weak link. And in
21:39
Speaker 1: the last couple of games, when it's come down to
21:41
Speaker 1: throwing the ball, particularly throwing it down the field, Tyson
21:44
Speaker 1: Campbell has been the weak link. And so the young
21:46
Speaker 1: guy has to figure out how to play the ball
21:48
Speaker 1: in the air. He has to figure out how to
21:50
Speaker 1: hug up on his man, and how to make some
21:52
Speaker 1: of the plays on these balls that are going to
21:54
Speaker 1: continue to hit his way until he's able to win
21:57
Speaker 1: some of these downs, and so he has to punish
21:59
Speaker 1: the water Backs would continue to throw the ball on
22:02
Speaker 1: his side of the field if he never gives them
22:04
Speaker 1: a reason to not throw it, to discourage them for
22:07
Speaker 1: throwing over there. They're going to continue to do it
22:10
Speaker 1: over and over and over again until he will under depression.
22:15
Speaker 1: J P. Yes, I think you know that I probably
22:18
Speaker 1: have a question for the former player this time position.
22:23
Speaker 1: And again I am not trying to pick on Tyson
22:26
Speaker 1: Campbell here because he has ability and except for these
22:29
Speaker 1: long plays, he has made some plays early in games
22:32
Speaker 1: that are impressive. He's broken up passes. But Bucky, clearly
22:36
Speaker 1: the ball in the air stuff is something that has
22:39
Speaker 1: following him as a former player. You know, what do
22:42
Speaker 1: you do? Is that a thing you can fix? You know,
22:46
Speaker 1: ball in the year is pretty key for a defensive back. Yeah,
22:49
Speaker 1: it's very key. Uh. Well it's a minor league baseball team.
22:52
Speaker 1: Uh to stay as the Jacksviel's son, what's up, Trip,
22:56
Speaker 1: It's now the Jumbo Shrimp. But yeah, the Jumbo Shrimp.
23:00
Speaker 1: All right. So one of the things that I would do,
23:01
Speaker 1: we can't do this now, but in the off season,
23:04
Speaker 1: I would have Tyson Campbell go shag fly balls with
23:07
Speaker 1: some of the guys over there, because it appears to
23:09
Speaker 1: me that he has a depth perception problem when it
23:11
Speaker 1: comes to judging the ball. Normally, what I would look
23:14
Speaker 1: for former player scout in the secondary, I would like
23:18
Speaker 1: to have a bunch of guys that have played baseball
23:20
Speaker 1: before because they can pick up the flight of the ball,
23:23
Speaker 1: and because you're a defensive back, a lot of times
23:25
Speaker 1: you're going to find it late. So it's different when
23:27
Speaker 1: you're playing wide receiver you never played it before. Some
23:29
Speaker 1: guys who are uncertain with the ball skills, they want
23:32
Speaker 1: to see it leave the quarterback's hands. Well, that's not
23:34
Speaker 1: the reality in the in the league, when you're down
23:36
Speaker 1: the field and you're playing one on one with the
23:38
Speaker 1: receiver and you're locked in man coverage and then you
23:41
Speaker 1: hear the ball call from your teammates. When you look up,
23:44
Speaker 1: you're looking up to catch it coming down. And so
23:48
Speaker 1: a lot of these quarterbacks, namely I think if you remember,
23:50
Speaker 1: remember David Garad, Jeff Blake, uh Russell, Wilson, they do this.
23:55
Speaker 1: They throw that moon ball up high. Part of the
23:58
Speaker 1: rationale behind throwing the moonball is because dbs can't judge
24:02
Speaker 1: the ball, and so it's advantageous to the wide receivers
24:05
Speaker 1: because they're used to pick catching those balls to throw
24:07
Speaker 1: it high. Because as you see it, we all stand
24:11
Speaker 1: stammer and stagger around like drunkers, trying to figure out
24:13
Speaker 1: the ball that we can't find it. And so that's
24:16
Speaker 1: one of the things. So I would get him on
24:17
Speaker 1: the baseball domin. I would trying to teach him how
24:19
Speaker 1: to catch some flyballs. I would also teach him how
24:22
Speaker 1: to lean his body into the man, because sometimes what happens,
24:25
Speaker 1: he's in great position, but when he looks up for
24:28
Speaker 1: the ball, he loses his contact with the man. And
24:31
Speaker 1: so a lot of these things that look they're coachable,
24:35
Speaker 1: they're correctible. He just needs to have time to do it.
24:38
Speaker 1: And unfortunately, as a rookie, he doesn't have enough experience
24:42
Speaker 1: to develop the expertise to play on the album JP,
24:46
Speaker 1: I played a little baseball. I played left out with
24:47
Speaker 1: that quality that does not qualified does not? I mean,
24:54
Speaker 1: you know, jo, like, if you can go out there
24:56
Speaker 1: and snag a flyball in two and maybe I hit
24:58
Speaker 1: your groundball into it, just kind of see if you
25:00
Speaker 1: have some of that dexterity. Maybe you never know. It
25:02
Speaker 1: is always a spot and now with the expanded private squad,
25:05
Speaker 1: maybe we can find a spot for you. My little
25:07
Speaker 1: league coaches did not want me in the ballgame. I'll
25:09
Speaker 1: be honest. We need you to hold down the hold
25:14
Speaker 1: down the bench over there, Mr Osher, We're back in
25:17
Speaker 1: a moment. We'll wrap it up with some social media questions.
25:21
Speaker 1: And this is Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks on the
25:22
Speaker 1: Jaguars Digital Network. Welcome back. It's Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks,
25:40
Speaker 1: j P Shadrick, John Osier, the Jags and the Titans
25:43
Speaker 1: coming up Sunday, A busy week at Daily's Place. Also
25:47
Speaker 1: the schedule Tonight n F A couple of nights from now,
25:52
Speaker 1: Zach Brown Band, That's Friday Night, Alice Cooper Saturday Night.
25:56
Speaker 1: I'm have to hit that one up pit Bull October twelve,
26:00
Speaker 1: Doors Down October fourteen, tickets at Daily's Place. Dot com
26:06
Speaker 1: favorite Alice Cooper's song, John Go, that's that's all you're
26:14
Speaker 1: gonna sing? I thought you're gonna give us more than
26:15
Speaker 1: this one? Moreld the world? Buck? Is that? Oh yeah,
26:21
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's unbelievable. That's unbelievable. I appreciate you. Uh,
26:25
Speaker 1: I wish you were putting that out there, because if
26:26
Speaker 1: I was hard pressed to have to pick a song out,
26:29
Speaker 1: I will be without it. I have to kind of
26:30
Speaker 1: defer to JP. Well, now you know, now you know
26:33
Speaker 1: that's the song. Um, so well, next time you were
26:36
Speaker 1: in town, Bucky, we've gotta go check out a show
26:37
Speaker 1: at Daily's place. Let's get to some social media questions.
26:41
Speaker 1: We put out the bat signal today and here's what
26:43
Speaker 1: we came up with from ad avan off Joel. Do
26:46
Speaker 1: you see this matchup as a confidence booster for the secondary.
26:49
Speaker 1: We're giving up more than three hundred yards per game
26:51
Speaker 1: and the d doesn't look like they can stop a
26:53
Speaker 1: paper bag on a windy day. Hopefully the next two
26:56
Speaker 1: games we can regain momentum and turn this thing around. Wow. Aggressive,
27:03
Speaker 1: very very Um. I don't know if this is a
27:06
Speaker 1: turnaround game for us. I mean, like I mean, the
27:08
Speaker 1: guys on on the other side of pretty good. Um,
27:11
Speaker 1: I think this could be a one that is, um
27:15
Speaker 1: a momentum builder. If we play well. We played great defense,
27:18
Speaker 1: We do a good job of stopping what we talked
27:21
Speaker 1: about stopping Derrick Henry and then the passing game, it
27:24
Speaker 1: could be good, but I wouldn't say this is a
27:25
Speaker 1: get right game at There are many opponents that would
27:28
Speaker 1: pick the Titans. Aren't one to say, hey, we're gonna
27:30
Speaker 1: get right first place to even the division. No, yeah,
27:34
Speaker 1: I think you're right on that one. Anything on on
27:36
Speaker 1: this one, John or No, if a lot depends. Julio
27:42
Speaker 1: Jones and A J. Brown or are are dealing with
27:45
Speaker 1: hamstring injuries that can take you right up till game time.
27:50
Speaker 1: It's it's maybe the injury for a wide receiver that
27:55
Speaker 1: you can start the game and then clearly not be
27:57
Speaker 1: hinder percent if you're in it. You know, if if
27:59
Speaker 1: if Julio and A j are both, I think it's
28:03
Speaker 1: to get scary game. If if they're not, then yeah,
28:07
Speaker 1: if you saw Derrick Henry, then all of a sudden,
28:10
Speaker 1: you know Tanny Hills throw into wide receivers. Do you
28:12
Speaker 1: think expect to be thrown to before the season? So
28:14
Speaker 1: I think I'm usually not get on here and talk
28:17
Speaker 1: about injuries during the week. That's not I don't think
28:21
Speaker 1: that dictate sometimes as much as people think it will.
28:24
Speaker 1: In this case with those two guys, boy, that's something
28:27
Speaker 1: to watch this week. That's a big time storyline. Yeah.
28:30
Speaker 1: The injury report just came out a little while ago.
28:32
Speaker 1: By the way, that the Jags have four players listed
28:35
Speaker 1: on the injury report right, one full, one limited to
28:37
Speaker 1: do not practice. The Titans have too full. Eleven players
28:42
Speaker 1: were limited. Eight players did not practice today. Used to
28:47
Speaker 1: play in New England. That's right, is injury report. There's
28:53
Speaker 1: some of that. Julio Jones did not practice today though
28:56
Speaker 1: without hamstring injury. A J. Brown was limited in practice today.
29:01
Speaker 1: Those are the injuries. Let's go to the question number
29:04
Speaker 1: two social media questions today at g j K underscore
29:10
Speaker 1: to nine eight. Obviously, our defensive focus is on containing Henry,
29:13
Speaker 1: But as for our offense, what areas of the Titans
29:15
Speaker 1: defense should we capitalize on and what's the best plan
29:18
Speaker 1: of attack against them? Look, I think it's the same
29:24
Speaker 1: way um that the Jaguars played against the Cincinnati been was.
29:28
Speaker 1: Regardless of what you want to do against the Titans,
29:30
Speaker 1: you have to look at your own personnel. I think
29:32
Speaker 1: this has to be one that is Trevor friendly. You
29:34
Speaker 1: need to be able to run the football with James Robinson,
29:37
Speaker 1: but they are vulnerable in the secondary. They've had a
29:39
Speaker 1: tough time slowing down passing attacks. We've seen guys that
29:43
Speaker 1: big day. Zach Wilson is coming off a big day
29:45
Speaker 1: where you almost had three hundred yards. Uh. Until they
29:49
Speaker 1: show that they can stop the past, they can defend
29:51
Speaker 1: the past, I think you still have to test it.
29:53
Speaker 1: But you still want to make sure that this game
29:55
Speaker 1: is under control and Trevor is not having to throw
29:57
Speaker 1: at forty plus times. Yeah, yeah, I know, Buck, He's
30:00
Speaker 1: expecting me to give you the always and always right now,
30:05
Speaker 1: though I can't be that guy. I love being that guy.
30:09
Speaker 1: But with DJ Chark out to me channel Jones, whoever
30:15
Speaker 1: steps into that third role, they've got to prove to
30:19
Speaker 1: me that they're a wide receiver corps that can be
30:22
Speaker 1: a throw it all over the field team. I'm not
30:25
Speaker 1: saying they can't be that, but Chanel had that's a
30:29
Speaker 1: career high. Until they show that they can sort of
30:33
Speaker 1: produce and have a bunch of guys get into that
30:37
Speaker 1: range a couple of weeks in a row down with Bucky,
30:40
Speaker 1: you gotta emphasize James Robinson and hope that you can
30:43
Speaker 1: be balanced offensively. Yeah. Right. Urban was big on Chennault today,
30:48
Speaker 1: by the way, and praised his his development under Sanjay
30:52
Speaker 1: Law and all that. Let's finish up with good first
30:55
Speaker 1: step last week for him JP really good first step. Yeah, absolutely,
30:58
Speaker 1: and I had a good day at the her. Final
31:00
Speaker 1: question from that Chris rhet to why didn't we push
31:03
Speaker 1: for Gilmore? Shake my head. I'm gonna be asked with you, Like,
31:09
Speaker 1: here's the thing about Gilmore. I think right now, Gilmore's
31:11
Speaker 1: reputation probably exceeds what his performance and production is. And
31:16
Speaker 1: I know it's crazy to say that a guy who
31:17
Speaker 1: was a two thousand nineteen Defensive Player of the Year
31:20
Speaker 1: is no longer at that level, but he's not. You're
31:23
Speaker 1: talking about a thirty one year old player. You're talking
31:25
Speaker 1: about someone who in New England. And here's what the
31:28
Speaker 1: New England Patriots typically do. Their team that plays a
31:30
Speaker 1: lot of man demand coverage. They have all the GPS
31:33
Speaker 1: and tracking systems and those things. And when you play
31:35
Speaker 1: as much man as they play, you're not only playing
31:37
Speaker 1: it in games, you're doing it the entire offseason, the
31:40
Speaker 1: summer training camp and all of those things. And so
31:43
Speaker 1: what happens is, um you lose a little bit of
31:47
Speaker 1: that athleticism, tired legs and all of the other stuff.
31:50
Speaker 1: And I don't think Gilmore is the same player that
31:52
Speaker 1: he was, and for someone who wasn't necessarily I would
31:56
Speaker 1: call it a plus athlete. He is now probably at
32:00
Speaker 1: a B minus C plus level. And I don't know
32:03
Speaker 1: for what you eventually are going to want to have
32:05
Speaker 1: to pay him. I don't know if he is production
32:08
