0:31
Speaker 1: Up with Bucky Brooks, j P. Shadrick with senior writer
0:33
Speaker 1: John Osan here in Jacksonville, and we go to l
0:36
Speaker 1: A and welcome in NFL Network and Jaguars radio field
0:40
Speaker 1: analyst Bucky Brooks. As the Jaguars visit the Indianapolis Colts
0:45
Speaker 1: coming up this Sunday at one o'clock. Yeah, here they are,
0:50
Speaker 1: second time around. The Jaguars shut them out last time
0:53
Speaker 1: here in Jacksonville. Doug Peterson and Trevor Lawrence spoke with
0:56
Speaker 1: the media today. We've got a couple of social media
0:59
Speaker 1: quite since we'll get to and imagine this. It's around
1:03
Speaker 1: the offense. Bucky, Good afternoon, what's up now? Life is good.
1:09
Speaker 1: What's up? God? You know? Um? Getting ready for India again?
1:13
Speaker 1: Another divisional game after the Jaguars dropped a tough one
1:16
Speaker 1: last week of course to the Texans, and now another
1:19
Speaker 1: one back to back. They get this one obviously, it's
1:21
Speaker 1: two and one in the division. Things are feeling pretty good, John,
1:24
Speaker 1: if you can get this w against a division rival
1:27
Speaker 1: in the colt suit are a banged up football team,
1:30
Speaker 1: Let's be honest. Yeah. And I wrote somewhere this week
1:34
Speaker 1: that now we're into it, meaning Jaguars has some It
1:39
Speaker 1: was it was sort of a giddy September. And now
1:41
Speaker 1: you've got your first injury with Ben Bart's going out,
1:45
Speaker 1: Now you haven't sort of be patchwork a little more. Well,
1:48
Speaker 1: guess what most NFL teams have done with that already. Uh,
1:52
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are now into the point where they had
1:55
Speaker 1: their first loss. That's sort of is a gut punch,
1:59
Speaker 1: and I think even more so than the Texans. Now
2:01
Speaker 1: you start finding out what you're gonna be and can
2:04
Speaker 1: you come back from that sort of thing? Can you
2:07
Speaker 1: rally or are you gonna be a team to respond
2:09
Speaker 1: to that and gets back into it, or or are
2:11
Speaker 1: you going to be a five or six win team. Uh,
2:14
Speaker 1: you can sort of start deciding that this week. Yeah,
2:18
Speaker 1: it begins now, Bucky, you can set the mark for
2:21
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. Yeah. Absolutely, little adversity you're
2:24
Speaker 1: gonna have to. Every team goes through adversity at some
2:27
Speaker 1: point of the season, and how you respond to that
2:29
Speaker 1: dictates where you advance, whether you become a playoff team
2:33
Speaker 1: or not. And so right now for the Jaguars, you
2:35
Speaker 1: drop a game that many would say that you shouldn't
2:38
Speaker 1: uh lose to the Houston Texans, But now that's where
2:41
Speaker 1: you are. So now you get a chance to go
2:42
Speaker 1: on the road against the Indianapolis Colts team that's gonna
2:45
Speaker 1: be fired up because you knocked them off and really
2:47
Speaker 1: dominated them at your place. Do the Jaguars have the
2:51
Speaker 1: resiliency the resolve to be able to go on the
2:54
Speaker 1: road and get a win, even the record up, and
2:56
Speaker 1: still remain at the top of the division. Well, found
3:00
Speaker 1: a lot about the team again this week, how we respond,
3:02
Speaker 1: how we play. Let's get to the head coach Doug
3:05
Speaker 1: Peterson speaking with the media this morning and discussing the
3:09
Speaker 1: quarterback Trevor Lawrence trying to force it down the field.
3:13
Speaker 1: Maybe a bit, and patience is key. The thing is
3:16
Speaker 1: when you play teams defenses like this like last week
3:19
Speaker 1: Houston now now this week. You know, these the Lovely Smiths,
3:22
Speaker 1: the Gus Bradley's of the world, those those coordinators. Their
3:26
Speaker 1: defense is they don't do a lot, but what they
3:28
Speaker 1: do they do it well and they're very disciplined. And
3:31
Speaker 1: so it's from an offensive mindset, we have to stay
3:34
Speaker 1: disciplined and we have to be patient and even as
3:37
Speaker 1: play callers, you know myself, we have to, um, you know,
3:41
Speaker 1: be patient with that sometimes and you know, they keep
3:44
Speaker 1: everything in front of you. They don't want to give
3:45
Speaker 1: up the big play, you know. So Uh, it's just
3:49
Speaker 1: it's just that's what's that's the mentality, you know, and
3:51
Speaker 1: that's the mindset, um as you play, as you play
3:55
Speaker 1: teams like this. So they've seen this story before, Bucky,
3:58
Speaker 1: and you just have to be action and when you
4:00
Speaker 1: have those opportunities down the field, you gotta hit them too.
4:03
Speaker 1: A couple overthrows early last week, some drops and um,
4:06
Speaker 1: you gotta take advantage of those situations when they do
4:09
Speaker 1: present themselves. Yeah. Absolutely, So this is a defense, uh,
4:14
Speaker 1: much like Houston where they're playing the odds. They're saying
4:19
Speaker 1: that if you have a negative play on an early down,
4:22
Speaker 1: you won't be able to push the ball up the field.
4:24
Speaker 1: And so they're really emboldened by the fact that they
4:26
Speaker 1: don't believe that the quarterback can play disciplined football over
4:29
Speaker 1: the course of sixty minutes. And so for Trevor Lawrence,
4:33
Speaker 1: the challenges are you willing to be okay taking the
4:36
Speaker 1: check down over and over again and to your louse,
4:40
Speaker 1: you lure the defense out of their comfort zone and
4:43
Speaker 1: then you're able to strike. And when you have those
4:46
Speaker 1: opportunities to push it down the field because the coverage
4:49
Speaker 1: dictates that you can take that shot, you have to
4:52
Speaker 1: be able to nail it. So it's not only the
4:54
Speaker 1: paces and discipline. It's gonna be the accuracy. Is the
4:58
Speaker 1: patient discipline and act and enough to pick apart this
5:01
Speaker 1: deepest at a high level on Sunday. And then you've
5:04
Speaker 1: got to see the moments that Bucky's talking about, meaning
5:09
Speaker 1: you know they're playing a certain way a certain way,
5:11
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, on that play there's
5:13
Speaker 1: your opportunity, and then you've got to be able to
5:15
Speaker 1: go get it. It's uh, I thought last week it
5:18
Speaker 1: was clear in retrospect that the Texans didn't believe that
5:24
Speaker 1: if they allowed the Jaguars to get into the twenty
5:27
Speaker 1: five or thirty the red zone area uh four or
5:30
Speaker 1: five times or a period of times better than number was,
5:33
Speaker 1: they didn't believe that he would be effective enough in
5:36
Speaker 1: that area to get away from them. You know, they
5:39
Speaker 1: probably looked at it and said he might make it
5:41
Speaker 1: a touchdown, a couple of field goals, thirteen points will
5:43
Speaker 1: have a chance. They were only able to get too
5:45
Speaker 1: so at this point, especially against the Guest Bradley defense
5:48
Speaker 1: or any defense now, uh, until he proves otherwise, that's
5:53
Speaker 1: going to be the approach a lot of teams take.
5:55
Speaker 1: You can see a lot more of what the Texans did,
5:58
Speaker 1: and this goes back to his first year. First game
6:00
Speaker 1: against the Texans, they played a lot of zone. They
6:03
Speaker 1: played eyes on the quarterback that those windows shrink when
6:06
Speaker 1: guys are getting early jumps. And so you heard Doug
6:09
Speaker 1: Peterson talk about when you play a Lovey Smith or
6:12
Speaker 1: Gus Bradley defense, what they do is not complicated. It's
6:16
Speaker 1: very simple in their approach, but they're banking that their defense,
6:20
Speaker 1: the defenders will be more disciplined than the quarterback, and
6:24
Speaker 1: as the game goes on, the quarterback will get the
6:27
Speaker 1: itchy trigger finger and he will have some turnovers. We
6:30
Speaker 1: saw that from Trevor Lawrence. He has to really challenge
6:33
Speaker 1: himself to really be disciplined this week because he's gonna
6:36
Speaker 1: see the same kind of game playing a little different coverage,
6:38
Speaker 1: the same same philosophy when it comes to the different approach,
6:42
Speaker 1: I have a question for the scout JP alright or
6:45
Speaker 1: the ex quarterbacks? Do you ever play quarterback? But I
6:47
Speaker 1: do not. I was not smart enough to play quarterback.
6:51
Speaker 1: Um itchy trigger finger. He threw it too much down
6:54
Speaker 1: the field. There's an element when you're playing a cover
6:57
Speaker 1: two as a quarterback that part of your success long
7:01
Speaker 1: term comes from being able to move defenders with your eyes.
7:06
Speaker 1: If if the dbs are gonna watch you, then you've
7:10
Speaker 1: got to be able to drop back and move guys
7:12
Speaker 1: sort of where you want them. Uh in your experience
7:16
Speaker 1: scouting guys and how long does that take? That seems
7:20
Speaker 1: like football two oh one and three oh one too. Man.
7:22
Speaker 1: I know Trevor is not quite there yet. What's the process?
7:25
Speaker 1: How hard is that for a young guy to learn?
7:28
Speaker 1: It takes time, It takes a lot of time for
7:31
Speaker 1: those guys to understand the patients and the ying and
7:33
Speaker 1: and yang of playing against the defense like that. One
7:35
Speaker 1: of the reasons why Drew Brees and Tom Brady and
7:38
Speaker 1: even Aaron Rodgers have been so great for so long
7:41
Speaker 1: is because they figured out early that the checkdown as
7:44
Speaker 1: a weapon that can help you get those teams out
7:48
Speaker 1: of those defenses. Meaning, even though the defensive coordinator says
7:51
Speaker 1: he you want to keep the ball in front, guys,
7:53
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. As long as you keep the
7:54
Speaker 1: ball in the front, I'll take it. Well, what happens
7:57
Speaker 1: if you string together a series of those check downs
8:00
Speaker 1: and completions and over and over again. At some point
8:05
Speaker 1: the defenders get tired or seeing the ball caught. The
8:07
Speaker 1: defensive coordinated gets tired of seeing the ball caught underneath
8:11
Speaker 1: because everyone is like man, they're just nickel and dominant
8:13
Speaker 1: all the way down the field, and they begin to
8:16
Speaker 1: take a chance. And so what Trevor has to be
8:18
Speaker 1: able to do is be patient enough to take the
8:20
Speaker 1: underneath stuff, but be aware enough when the defenders out
8:24
Speaker 1: of position, and you gotta make that strike when it's there,
8:27
Speaker 1: and you gotta complete it. Because if you don't complete it,
8:30
Speaker 1: you may not see it again for another ten to
8:32
Speaker 1: twelve plays. And so it's that that yinging and yang
8:35
Speaker 1: between the discipline and the aggressiveness when it Merrits. Takes
8:39
Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks, um most of their careers to
8:42
Speaker 1: be able to get that done. It's all about the
8:44
Speaker 1: yang and yang ja or what I learn. Hey, John,
8:51
Speaker 1: you're in the press conference with Trevor. I was in
8:52
Speaker 1: the locker room. I missed him. What was some highlights
8:55
Speaker 1: today from Trevor? I think probably a big high He
9:00
Speaker 1: talked early on about the need to not make a
9:07
Speaker 1: bad play worse, which he had sort of touched on
9:09
Speaker 1: a little bit, and I think I'm getting that right.
9:12
Speaker 1: That make sure that if the play is not there,
9:17
Speaker 1: you don't turn into a turnover the other way, you know,
9:20
Speaker 1: And I think that was I'm sure they talked to
9:23
Speaker 1: him about the last two games. Uh. Even if you
9:27
Speaker 1: think that Trevor didn't play well the entire game, really
9:31
Speaker 1: the last two games, no matter what level you think
9:34
Speaker 1: he was playing at, have turned on the red zone
9:37
Speaker 1: interception in Philly and the end zone interception against the Texans.
9:41
Speaker 1: And even if you don't think he played very well.
9:44
Speaker 1: If you take those two away, maybe you win both
9:46
Speaker 1: them or you or you're very close, complete momentum changers.
9:52
Speaker 1: When they came third quarter, you know, everything felt different afterwards,
9:56
Speaker 1: So that was probably the highlight to me. He talks
9:58
Speaker 1: him about Travis c t and about about Shatley and
10:02
Speaker 1: some sort of clean up things for some reporters stories,
10:05
Speaker 1: but I think that was the gist. Nobody really asked
10:08
Speaker 1: him about confidence or about big picture type things, but
10:11
Speaker 1: it felt like he talked a lot about that on Sunday,
10:14
Speaker 1: so I think the feeling was already covered that. Uh
10:21
Speaker 1: So to me, that was the huge takeaways. I think
10:23
Speaker 1: you will see him focusing on hey, if I'm gonna
10:27
Speaker 1: make a mistake, just don't make it a game turning mistake.
10:30
Speaker 1: There you have it, and the full press conference will
10:33
Speaker 1: be available on Jaguars social media very soon if not already,
10:36
Speaker 1: or Jaguars dot Com coming up in just the next
10:39
Speaker 1: few minutes. We're back in a moment, and we'll take
10:41
Speaker 1: a look at the Indianapolis Colts, the team the Jaguars
10:44
Speaker 1: shut out in Week two and they've had some changes
10:47
Speaker 1: in personnel since then. We are often running huddle up
10:50
Speaker 1: with Bucky Brooks is brought to you by Fields Auto Group, Jacksonville.
10:54
Speaker 1: Step up to luxury Fields Auto dot Com. This is
10:58
Speaker 1: Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network.
11:08
Speaker 1: Preparation is never easy. Um. You know, that's the one
11:12
Speaker 1: thing about knowing your opponent. Um, they know you and
11:16
Speaker 1: we know them, and you know you're not gonna fool
11:19
Speaker 1: anybody or trick anybody. And it just comes down to
11:21
Speaker 1: your hard work and preparation. And you know, listen, this
11:24
Speaker 1: is a this is a well coached team. It's a
11:25
Speaker 1: good football team. It's a disciplined football team. You see
11:28
Speaker 1: it on film. Um, and I expect a much different
11:32
Speaker 1: ballgame than in the first time, I said Coachuck Peterson
11:36
Speaker 1: earlier today. Yes, twice in a month span, the Jaguars
11:41
Speaker 1: and the Colts will meet. Welcome back. It's Huddle Up
11:43
Speaker 1: with Bucky Brooks JP Shadrick with John Osier here in Jacksonville,
11:46
Speaker 1: Bucky out in Los Angeles. The running back is a
11:51
Speaker 1: question in Andy right now, Bucky. Jonathan Taylor, of course,
11:54
Speaker 1: was bottled up in Week two against the Jags. They
11:57
Speaker 1: made it an emphasis in that game. They got to
11:59
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, a bunch. They got some things going with
12:02
Speaker 1: Taylor miss last week. He's on the report this week,
12:06
Speaker 1: and this could be a much different feeling into the
12:09
Speaker 1: offense with all the changes on the old line already,
12:12
Speaker 1: and if Taylor is not out there, then, um, where
12:15
Speaker 1: do they go? It just becomes a little different team.
12:19
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor's one of the best football winning racks in football,
12:22
Speaker 1: and so if he's available, they want to kind of
12:23
Speaker 1: pound the rock. But if he's not there, then it
12:25
Speaker 1: goes to Nai Hines. Uh Philip Lindsay will play and
12:29
Speaker 1: they'll try and find a way to manufacture running game
12:31
Speaker 1: regardless of who's back there behind Matt Ryan. They don't
12:35
Speaker 1: want this game to turn into a game with Matt
12:37
Speaker 1: Ryan has a thor at forty plus times. They still
12:39
Speaker 1: need the balance to not only protect him, but to
12:43
Speaker 1: help that offensive line because they're struggling. They've been struggling
12:46
Speaker 1: on the perimeter, they've been struggling against good pass rushers,
12:48
Speaker 1: and so the best way to offset some of the
12:51
Speaker 1: things that defenses are doing against him in the past,
12:53
Speaker 1: first game, you gotta run right after them. And so
12:55
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars, it's all about first down. If the
12:58
Speaker 1: Jaguars are winning first, meaning they're holding the Coats to
13:02
Speaker 1: three yards or fewer, then they are able to dictate
13:06
Speaker 1: the terms and they should have a lot of success
13:08
Speaker 1: playing defense on Sunday. Yeah, to me the matchup, I
13:13
Speaker 1: don't think Taylor will play, or if he does, it
13:16
Speaker 1: feels like it's going to be limited with that ankle.
13:19
Speaker 1: Um an interesting stat. JP have stat Okay, did you
13:26
Speaker 1: always have ten sacks this season? Five of them gets cold? Um.
13:31
Speaker 1: So this is a team it is not rushed the
13:34
Speaker 1: pastor great every week the Jags. But if you can
13:38
Speaker 1: get to Matt Ryan, who's given up, who's been sacked
13:41
Speaker 1: more times, maybe us in the NFL. Boy, it just
13:44
Speaker 1: feels to me like this team, meaning the Jags going
13:47
Speaker 1: on the road against a team that scraps. You know,
13:51
Speaker 1: the Colts have been a team that when they've won,
13:53
Speaker 1: they've they've come back, they've hung in there. Get to
13:56
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan early, get a sack, FuMB will get something
13:58
Speaker 1: going your way and get a a from him. A
14:00
Speaker 1: little bit pass rush force and Ryan into an early mistake.
14:04
Speaker 1: Uh As, as much as the confidence of the Jaguars
14:08
Speaker 1: has to be sort of in in in question right now,
14:11
Speaker 1: that to me, is the ticket I not. I notice
14:13
Speaker 1: take it every week you get a sack, fumble orally
14:15
Speaker 1: you're in great shape. But for this team right now,
14:18
Speaker 1: that matchup feels like one you can go get. That's
14:21
Speaker 1: my foot buy yeah, no, I did. It does feel
14:24
Speaker 1: like one that you can go get. And uh, let's
14:26
Speaker 1: be honest. The quarterbacks thirty seven years years of age.
14:29
Speaker 1: And when he gets hit, he changes, and so it's
14:31
Speaker 1: really important that the Jaguars find a way to hit him.
14:33
Speaker 1: They were able to hit him down and Duvall it
14:36
Speaker 1: changed the way that he performed. He didn't look good.
14:38
Speaker 1: He was looking for a place to fall, and he
14:40
Speaker 1: didn't have the benefit of running game, and he didn't
14:43
Speaker 1: have his top receiver in Michael Pittman. Michael Pittman comes back.
14:46
Speaker 1: He's big body, but you gotta be able. You should
14:49
Speaker 1: feel good about your ability to lock up on the outside.
14:52
Speaker 1: To me, this game comes down to the trenches. Canada
14:55
Speaker 1: Jaguars dominate and own the line of scrimmage. Because they
14:59
Speaker 1: owned a line of scrimmage, that means they will eventually
15:01
Speaker 1: hit Matt Ryan. And we know when Matt Ryan gets hit,
15:04
Speaker 1: he changed. And so the emphasis if I'm the Raiders.
15:07
Speaker 1: I mean, if if I am the Jaguars, is about
15:10
Speaker 1: dominating at the point of attack and making sure that
15:12
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan doesn't have any room to breathe defensively, Forrest
15:16
Speaker 1: Buckner is still there in cockway, of course, but Leonard
15:19
Speaker 1: is still out and he's been dinged up a lot
15:22
Speaker 1: of this season. It's a different feeling, coach defense when
15:25
Speaker 1: he's not out there. Bucky, Yeah, I mean, you talk
15:27
Speaker 1: about one of the defensive playmakers and football, a guy
15:30
Speaker 1: who was a ball magnet. We talked about Charles uh
15:33
Speaker 1: Tilling being able to knock the ball. News. Well, there's
15:36
Speaker 1: no one who does it better than uh Sequill. Uh
15:39
Speaker 1: I forget Leonard. His name name Lenard. Yeah, so Shack
15:45
Speaker 1: Leonard does it better than anybody else. So if he's
15:48
Speaker 1: not there, Um, it's a different defense. You know, when
15:51
Speaker 1: you think about that defense, you think about this scheme,
15:53
Speaker 1: that linebacker, that week's side linebacker is one of the
15:56
Speaker 1: critical elements to that defense. So you're moving all pro player. Yeah,
16:00
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, they have more success being able to not
16:02
Speaker 1: only run the ball, but being able to throw the
16:04
Speaker 1: ball down the seams. All right, we'll come back in
16:06
Speaker 1: a moment social media questions off Twitter today. It's been
16:10
Speaker 1: a interesting place the last few days in Jaguar twitter Land.
16:15
Speaker 1: This is huddle Up with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars
16:18
Speaker 1: Digital Network. There's gotta be patients, you know, with that. UM,
16:30
Speaker 1: can't wait too long, you know. But at the same time,
16:34
Speaker 1: you know, it's our job as coaches to make sure
16:36
Speaker 1: that he's he's improving every week and and and pointing
16:40
Speaker 1: out the good end and the bad and and that's
16:42
Speaker 1: just how you grow, That's just how you learned. And
16:44
Speaker 1: you know, I remember back, you know, my days in
16:47
Speaker 1: Green Bay, you know, under Mike Holmgren, Andy Reid coaches
16:51
Speaker 1: like that. I mean, you know, learning just that system
16:54
Speaker 1: and it was very vanilla basic compared to what we're
16:57
Speaker 1: teaching today. Um, you know, we always said three years.
17:02
Speaker 1: We always said that's the that's the benchmark. But I
17:05
Speaker 1: don't think you have three years. I think you you've
17:08
Speaker 1: got to get your players ready to go now. And
17:11
Speaker 1: and but there has to be subtle improvement, right, There
17:14
Speaker 1: has to be And you can't just put it all
17:16
Speaker 1: on one player. UM. We know that. And uh, it
17:20
Speaker 1: takes you know, it takes all three phases too. To
17:23
Speaker 1: win games. That's the head coach Doug Peterson earlier today
17:27
Speaker 1: on the timetable of seeing a quarterback improvement and the
17:34
Speaker 1: time it takes they have it. It's a huddle up
17:36
Speaker 1: with Bucky Brooks j P. Shadrick. Uh, that's John Oser,
17:39
Speaker 1: that's Bucky Brooks. Yes, Bucky Yeah. I think it's important
17:43
Speaker 1: to follow up on that because, Uh, Doug Peterson and
17:45
Speaker 1: I come from the same school, uh, in terms of
17:48
Speaker 1: having worked up under coach on Grow and having played
17:50
Speaker 1: up under coach Wrong Than. So when Doug talks about
17:52
Speaker 1: the three year window and he talks about the Vanilla system,
17:55
Speaker 1: I think it's important that we addressed a couple of
17:56
Speaker 1: things when it comes to it with the quarterback. So
17:58
Speaker 1: one often since Doug came, you've heard me on the
18:02
Speaker 1: podcast talk about in practice, you want to get to
18:05
Speaker 1: the point where you're operating in efficient level where the
18:07
Speaker 1: ball doesn't hit the ground well. One of the reasons
18:10
Speaker 1: you want to operate like that is because it means
18:12
Speaker 1: that Trevor Lawrence is never beginning to embrace the checkdown,
18:15
Speaker 1: meaning that when the defense wins and they take away
18:17
Speaker 1: the deep stuff, he immediately gets to his second and
18:19
Speaker 1: third read and the ball is dumped off to a back.
18:22
Speaker 1: We're tied in so that the offense can stay ahead
18:25
Speaker 1: of schedule. It's really important that if you go from
18:27
Speaker 1: first down, you wanted to be a second and five
18:29
Speaker 1: or fewer, so you continue to run that that that
18:32
Speaker 1: balance of running past the second thing. When it comes
18:35
Speaker 1: to that, because there's been some conversation about the run
18:37
Speaker 1: pass ratio, you have to understand in this offensive system,
18:41
Speaker 1: it is going to be a sixty forty pass run ratio,
18:46
Speaker 1: meaning they want to throw the ball, they want to
18:48
Speaker 1: throw it quick, they want to get it out to
18:50
Speaker 1: the running backs and tight ends on the flanks, and
18:53
Speaker 1: they view those high percentage passes as runs. And so
18:57
Speaker 1: even though we are accustomed to seeing a ground and
19:00
Speaker 1: out on attack in Jacksonville, this is a little different.
19:03
Speaker 1: It's a little more finesse, but it's functional if the
19:06
Speaker 1: quarterback is operating at an efficient mark. And so when
19:09
Speaker 1: Doug talks about three years, it takes three years for
19:12
Speaker 1: the quarterback to understand how valuable the ball is and
19:16
Speaker 1: how important it is that every time that he drops back,
19:19
Speaker 1: the ball has to go into the hands of somebody
19:21
Speaker 1: in a teal of jersey because staying on schedule is
19:24
Speaker 1: critical to being able to play the solid play that
19:26
Speaker 1: he wants to play. JP. It feels like we should
19:31
Speaker 1: just stop the show and have Bucky replay that because
19:35
Speaker 1: and it's perfect. I say that completely without trying to
19:38
Speaker 1: be funny. It explains exactly what I think a lot
19:41
Speaker 1: of people are not grasping. All the questions about run
19:45
Speaker 1: past balance are continuing to come, and I think they
19:48
Speaker 1: will because it takes time to look at a stat
19:50
Speaker 1: sheet and it feels off balance. If you look at
19:53
Speaker 1: how they run this offense, it does not UM. And
19:56
Speaker 1: I think I was going to stop you as well
19:58
Speaker 1: after Doug, because I was thinking something else. Um. It's
20:03
Speaker 1: interesting how often Doug is referred back to second year
20:09
Speaker 1: in the system is when he thinks that Trevor will
20:13
Speaker 1: start to accelerate and he is still in the first year.
20:17
Speaker 1: Doug won't say this publicly, Maybe I'll say it for him. Uh.
20:21
Speaker 1: Right now, Trevor's in his fifth NFL game in this system,
20:25
Speaker 1: and I think that's really important to realize. I know
20:27
Speaker 1: people don't want to hear the rookie year doesn't count whatever,
20:30
Speaker 1: of course it counts, but his development will be accelerated
20:35
Speaker 1: once he's been in the system for a while. And
20:37
Speaker 1: it's very interesting that this is the first time in
20:41
Speaker 1: Jacksonville that you've really had a young quarterback developing under
20:45
Speaker 1: the next quarterback and a guy who is a quarterback
20:48
Speaker 1: whisper two or three quarterback whispers Uh. So, I I
20:53
Speaker 1: think the way that people view this process has to
20:58
Speaker 1: be different than than they have you processes in the past. Yeah. Absolutely,
21:03
Speaker 1: And I mean when you bring up a valid point,
21:06
Speaker 1: because five games into Doug peterson system and scheme and
21:09
Speaker 1: what he's being asked to do this year is completely
21:12
Speaker 1: different than what he was being asked to do last year.
21:14
Speaker 1: Completely different system. Even though Brian Schottenheimer and Daryl Bevel
21:17
Speaker 1: are disciples of the West Coast, like Doug Peterson learned
21:21
Speaker 1: the pure West Coast offense, and he not only learned
21:24
Speaker 1: it from Mike Homeman, but then he played under Andy
21:26
Speaker 1: Reid and continue to develop and learn how to coach
21:30
Speaker 1: the game under Andy Reid. And so because we were
21:33
Speaker 1: all together, I kind of understand what he's talking about.
21:36
Speaker 1: And so I think it's really important that we let
21:38
Speaker 1: the fans know where we're at in the process. The
21:42
Speaker 1: process is like learning a foreign language. So it's one
21:45
Speaker 1: thing to go to Rosetta Stone and kind of understand
21:48
Speaker 1: the simple things, but it's another thing to call it
21:51
Speaker 1: immediately when you're in a foreign country, to know exactly
21:54
Speaker 1: when I say, hey, we're gonna go red right sixties
21:57
Speaker 1: scat x y hook zo over that he knows that
22:01
Speaker 1: and he can visualize what the play is. Right now
22:04
Speaker 1: when he's walking to the line of scrimmage with the
22:06
Speaker 1: language in his head, Trevor Lawrence is, okay, I have
22:09
Speaker 1: this this that he's looking to the spots on the
22:12
Speaker 1: field to think about where everyone is going instead of
22:16
Speaker 1: knowing I get to the line during discourage or whatever.
22:19
Speaker 1: Right now, he's thinking about our offense. The next step
22:22
Speaker 1: is for him to think about the defense while working
22:26
Speaker 1: on the offense, so then he knows where the attack
22:28
Speaker 1: points are. And also when those we see those guys
22:31
Speaker 1: running free, he'll get to those guys quicker because he'll
22:34
Speaker 1: be able to better anticipate. This guy could break open
22:37
Speaker 1: and discoverage. I know that, and I'm looking for it,
22:40
Speaker 1: so now I can aggressively take that shot as soon
22:42
Speaker 1: as I get an inkling that is available. I took
22:45
Speaker 1: two years of college French. I still have to google
22:47
Speaker 1: how to get to the Eiffel Tower. That's how it works. Um,
22:51
Speaker 1: we're back at a moment and no, no, well let's
22:53
Speaker 1: get to questions. We almost forgot the social media questions. Yes,
22:56
Speaker 1: social media. We put the cat signal out earlier. Here's
22:59
Speaker 1: the best week Ancles today at pud us. Do you
23:03
Speaker 1: think t Law is having the Sam Donald effect seeing
23:06
Speaker 1: ghosts because he leaves the pocket too early? Mhm, I
23:10
Speaker 1: haven't seen that. I mean, I'll speak to it first
23:13
Speaker 1: on the back here. I haven't seen that sort of
23:16
Speaker 1: thing yet, Bucky, I leaven the pockets t really maybe
23:20
Speaker 1: a little bit, but I haven't seen anything from him
23:24
Speaker 1: that he is eye catching along those lines compared to
23:28
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of other young quarterbacks I've seen.
23:30
Speaker 1: Maybe you see it differently, No, no, no, I see
23:33
Speaker 1: it like that. I don't think his issues had to
23:35
Speaker 1: do with seeing ghosts. I think his issues had to
23:36
Speaker 1: deal with being patient and being disciplined in terms of
23:40
Speaker 1: playing against the systems that he's playing when he's playing
23:43
Speaker 1: against because because because, because, because, because because we lost
23:50
Speaker 1: the audio. It's pretty good there, fair, Yeah, that was
23:53
Speaker 1: we lost the audio. You're back so I'm saying, like,
24:00
Speaker 1: so five games and we've seen two very very patient
24:02
Speaker 1: defense defense that really want to test his discipline. The
24:05
Speaker 1: first time against the Indianapolis Coat, he tore them up
24:08
Speaker 1: because in that game, the ball came out quickly and
24:10
Speaker 1: it was underneath and so it was what thirty nine
24:13
Speaker 1: or whatever it was that game where they were operating
24:15
Speaker 1: at a very efficient level. Tampa, I mean the Tampa
24:18
Speaker 1: two that we saw against the Houston Texans, he didn't
24:21
Speaker 1: have the patients to stick with it. Part of that
24:23
Speaker 1: might have been coming off of a bad game against Philly.
24:27
Speaker 1: He wanted to prove to the people that he can
24:29
Speaker 1: get back on track, and so his pride worked against
24:33
Speaker 1: him and that's why he may have forced the ball
24:35
Speaker 1: as opposed to saying I'm just going to take the
24:37
Speaker 1: check down. So maybe he's learned his lessons from these
24:40
Speaker 1: two games, and maybe he'll be able to apply some
24:42
Speaker 1: of those lessons um in this game against a defense
24:47
Speaker 1: that he should be able to attack. One more question
24:50
Speaker 1: from at as for a no fall, why would we
24:53
Speaker 1: abandon the running game in a tie game? Do you
24:56
Speaker 1: think Trevor needs to be holding under the ball with
24:58
Speaker 1: clear running lanes and option plays seems to have the
25:00
Speaker 1: opportunity multiple times but didn't keep it once. Yeah, all
25:06
Speaker 1: again because Buck is not gonnaut of the park today,
25:08
Speaker 1: So I want to hear it here what he has
25:09
Speaker 1: to say. I think I know his answer to the
25:11
Speaker 1: first one. Uh. But you know, I don't think Trevor
25:17
Speaker 1: needs to be focused on holding the ball more. I
25:20
Speaker 1: don't think they want him to be focused on holding
25:22
Speaker 1: the ball more. I think that option in the RPO
25:26
Speaker 1: has to come when it's natural and obvious. I don't
25:31
Speaker 1: think over the long haul you want him skewing and
25:34
Speaker 1: leaning towards holding the ball more. I think it needs
25:38
Speaker 1: to come when it's absolutely obvious or when it's called
25:40
Speaker 1: in advance. Uh. Again, I'm the old school guy, Buck. Yeah.
25:45
Speaker 1: I just don't want to see run heavy Trevor taking
25:48
Speaker 1: a lot of shots. Uh. Although I know why fans
25:52
Speaker 1: want that because it gives immediate results. But I don't
25:54
Speaker 1: feel like that's that's not how they're gonna go. That's
25:58
Speaker 1: not what he's gonna be. And now he's a he's
26:00
Speaker 1: a little different. He is athletic. Now, it's one thing.
26:03
Speaker 1: If you're gonna tell me that he's like Daniel Jones
26:05
Speaker 1: or if he can move around like Lamar Jackson. He's
26:08
Speaker 1: a very athletic quarterback, but I think his best part
26:10
Speaker 1: of his game are the way that he throws. And so, yeah,
26:14
Speaker 1: can he run it three or four times a game? Terrific?
26:17
Speaker 1: Just just enough to keep the backside defensive band at home.
26:20
Speaker 1: It's enough for the defense to have to respect him
26:22
Speaker 1: as an athlete. But he is not the Josh Allen
26:26
Speaker 1: type that is really a runner, a single wing quarterback
26:29
Speaker 1: that can run it, who's thick enough and sturdy enough
26:31
Speaker 1: to maybe take it ten to twelve times a game.
26:33
Speaker 1: If he's doing that, he's not really paying to the
26:35
Speaker 1: strengths of his of his talent and his game. Uh.
26:38
Speaker 1: And so I don't want to see I want to
26:40
Speaker 1: see him pull it when he knows that he can
26:41
Speaker 1: get four to five yards, and when he gets those
26:43
Speaker 1: four or five yards, as soon as he finds a
26:45
Speaker 1: soft grass, a soft spot in the grass, he needs
26:47
Speaker 1: to slide and get down so he doesn't take any hits.
26:50
Speaker 1: The bigger thing has been when people talk about abandon
26:52
Speaker 1: the running game, I will say this, Yeah, we can
26:55
Speaker 1: still be a little more patient with the running game,
26:57
Speaker 1: particularly when a guy like Travis at the end or
27:00
Speaker 1: James Robinson when they got it going, you certainly can
27:03
Speaker 1: stay with them. And so it appeared that Travis at
27:05
Speaker 1: the end had it going a little bit On Sunday. Yeah,
27:09
Speaker 1: you can feed him a little more because ten carries
27:11
Speaker 1: for seventy one yards potentially that's a hundred and thirty
27:15
Speaker 1: yards if he asked fifteen to sixteen carries the way
27:17
Speaker 1: that he was breaking out of running. You have it
27:20
Speaker 1: social media questions. Thank you for the submissions. We're back
27:23
Speaker 1: in a moment with our final thoughts the Jaguars and
27:26
Speaker 1: the Colts coming up Sunday A huddle up with Bucky
27:28
Speaker 1: Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network Welcome back and Tuddle
27:40
Speaker 1: Up with Bucky Brooks. Had a live look at the
27:44
Speaker 1: Miller Electric Center outside t i a. A. Bank Field.
27:47
Speaker 1: Are about to finish the framing of the indoor facility.
27:51
Speaker 1: They're moving right along. It's still on schedule for next
27:55
Speaker 1: summer training camp. And yeah, every day there's some thing
28:00
Speaker 1: new or you know, you'll drive it in the morning
28:02
Speaker 1: and they're doing something and in the afternoon it's um,
28:06
Speaker 1: it's done and they're onto the next. It's been building
28:08
Speaker 1: it it's kind of like the construction. It's amazing. Yeah,
28:11
Speaker 1: it's uh wow. If it wasn't going that way, lamping
28:14
Speaker 1: that aske some issue, but there would be some some
28:17
Speaker 1: angst in the corner over there. All right, So we're
28:20
Speaker 1: excited for that. Huddle up with Bucky Brooks brought to
28:23
Speaker 1: you by Fields Auto Group, Jacksonville, Step up the luxury
28:26
Speaker 1: Fields Auto Dot Com. Bucky, how you feeling about this
28:29
Speaker 1: one Sunday? Coming off tough loss game they should have
28:32
Speaker 1: had really the last two weeks. Um, Hey, division game
28:37
Speaker 1: on the roads. Those are never easy. Yeah, I think
28:40
Speaker 1: we have to prepare for another game that. Uh, it's
28:43
Speaker 1: very similar to the way the game was on Sunday.
28:45
Speaker 1: I mean it's gonna be a bit of a drag,
28:46
Speaker 1: maybe a bit of a defensive struggle. Uh. The cultive
28:49
Speaker 1: play really well on defense. We saw the struggles. Uh,
28:52
Speaker 1: I mean the demo Broncos couldn't move the ball on them,
28:54
Speaker 1: really had a tough time. Russell Wilson was confounded by
28:57
Speaker 1: the coverage and had issues in the red zone. And
28:59
Speaker 1: so the big thing will be how did the Jaguars
29:03
Speaker 1: survive and thrive in the red zone? Are they able
29:06
Speaker 1: to punch it in for touchdowns? Are they forced to
29:09
Speaker 1: settle for three? Because ultimately that's what it's going to
29:11
Speaker 1: come down. Efficiency Rizon efficiency between the Jacks and the Colts.
29:15
Speaker 1: The team does more efficient the Rizzons often go in
29:17
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, it scares you a little bit because
29:21
Speaker 1: that has not been the Jaguars strength. I agree. I
29:24
Speaker 1: see a game that when the Colts have won this year, Uh,
29:29
Speaker 1: they've been tied twenty to twenty, you know, when they
29:32
Speaker 1: haven't lost. I guess it's a better word it's used there.
29:36
Speaker 1: They won sixteen against the Chiefs or something like that,
29:40
Speaker 1: and then in the last week twelve to nine. So
29:42
Speaker 1: it feels like they're going to be in a sixteen
29:44
Speaker 1: thirteen seventeen thirteen type game. And uh, that's in the
29:49
Speaker 1: Colts wheelhouse a little bit. And Matt Ryan Layton games
29:52
Speaker 1: had the experience to get them back in it, and
29:55
Speaker 1: I Trevor in this offense have not functioned in big situations,
30:00
Speaker 1: are in the red zone. So at some point you
30:02
Speaker 1: need to break through that. I think that's what they'll
30:06
Speaker 1: have to do this week. And it's not a matchup
30:08
Speaker 1: you feel great about on in that sense, it's also tough.
30:11
Speaker 1: When you've beaten the team badly the first time around,
30:15
Speaker 1: it usually doesn't go that way the second time around.
30:17
Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna be a tight game at
30:18
Speaker 1: the end, And I think people have been waiting for
30:20
Speaker 1: this team to pull out a tight one late. Uh
30:24
Speaker 1: let's see if this is the week they do it.
30:25
Speaker 1: It's big. Yeah, let's see. Um, they shut them out
30:30
Speaker 1: last time, but it's a different team a month later,
30:32
Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens there. You know, both teams are.
30:38
Speaker 1: It feels like a slog bucket. It was like a
30:41
Speaker 1: slug game. I mean, it's definitely gonna be one of
30:44
Speaker 1: those kind of games. I do wonder at practice if
30:47
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson and the staffy's spend a little more time
30:49
Speaker 1: in the red zone because they know how critical it is.
30:51
Speaker 1: I wonder if they added a few minutes to the
30:53
Speaker 1: practice schedule to make sure that they become better, more
30:56
Speaker 1: efficient inside the twenty, inside even in the type rezone,
31:00
Speaker 1: because it appears the problems really come not inside the twenty,
31:03
Speaker 1: but inside the tim We just haven't found a way
31:05
Speaker 1: to cross the gold line consistently. So I'll expect him
31:08
Speaker 1: to spend more time in that area because we're gonna
31:11
Speaker 1: need points covered in at the premium. Bucky, well done.
31:14
Speaker 1: As always, we'll talk to you on Sunday. Man. Let's
31:17
Speaker 1: do it, looking forward to it. Bucky Brooks from Los Angeles.
31:20
Speaker 1: That'll do it for our program today. Brent Reaver on
31:23
Speaker 1: the video side, Joe Fortunado on the audio for Bucky
31:27
Speaker 1: and John Osier. I'm J P. Shadrick. It's Huddle Up
31:30
Speaker 1: with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network.
