Speaker 1: Farah and Farrah and Patron Tequila. Bucky Brooks is with
1:53
Speaker 1: us now from Los Angeles, and that kind of tells you, Bucky,
1:57
Speaker 1: what the fever pitches here in Jacksonville. Where the Jaguars
2:00
Speaker 1: moving on? Man, I like it, I like you and
2:03
Speaker 1: all this stuff that's going on in Jacksonville. You talked
2:06
Speaker 1: about to send off a watch party. The buzz is
2:09
Speaker 1: certainly building about the Jaguars prospects of you know, like
2:13
Speaker 1: JP like if they win, they have an opportunity to
2:16
Speaker 1: play for the big One. Like that's crazy. They have
2:19
Speaker 1: two games away from kind of being in the show.
2:21
Speaker 1: And so, uh look, it should be a lot of
2:23
Speaker 1: excitement because the way that the team won last Saturday night.
2:26
Speaker 1: I think everyone will forever remember that if you're part
2:28
Speaker 1: of Jaguars this week, yeah, no doubt. And uh um
2:33
Speaker 1: it is as you go through the playoffs and haven't
2:36
Speaker 1: covered some playoff runs before, you do sort of have
2:40
Speaker 1: this feeling after an early round when all of a
2:45
Speaker 1: sudden you're up in the division. I guess the one
2:48
Speaker 1: I refer to the most as one Bucky's familiar with
2:50
Speaker 1: nineties six this team, all of a sudden you kind
2:53
Speaker 1: of wake up in your it's not a distant dream anymore. Um,
2:58
Speaker 1: you know, it's you don't have to do that much
3:01
Speaker 1: more than the rest of the league has to do
3:03
Speaker 1: to get there. And you know, the old cliche why
3:07
Speaker 1: not us, etcetera, etcetera really comes into play. And you know,
3:12
Speaker 1: from being around this team, I don't think it's really
3:16
Speaker 1: occurred to them that they shouldn't go out and win
3:18
Speaker 1: this game, you know, And there's a little bit of
3:21
Speaker 1: an overtone when you're a lower seed, that everybody else
3:23
Speaker 1: thinks that and sometimes that seeps into the locker room.
3:27
Speaker 1: But Bucky, I don't think this team considers itself that
3:30
Speaker 1: much of an underdog now. I don't think so. And
3:33
Speaker 1: I think if you go back and you look at
3:35
Speaker 1: the way that they played down the stretch, they've won
3:38
Speaker 1: a bunch of different games in a variety of ways,
3:40
Speaker 1: and so that is certainly given them the confidence that
3:43
Speaker 1: they can find a way to win any game. And
3:45
Speaker 1: then when you think about the comebacks that they have
3:46
Speaker 1: pulled off down the final stretch of the season, Yeah,
3:50
Speaker 1: I think they can talk themselves into believing that they
3:53
Speaker 1: can win and they can win on the road in
3:54
Speaker 1: a very very tough environment by having floating the theory
3:58
Speaker 1: all week. And you know, my theories aren't right, So
4:02
Speaker 1: I'll ask you who played the ex players who I'm
4:05
Speaker 1: asking here, jays Um. You know my theory when I
4:10
Speaker 1: watched the league and from covering the league that teams
4:14
Speaker 1: that have won a lot of games going into situations,
4:16
Speaker 1: especially the NFL playoffs, Uh, they're really tough to beat,
4:22
Speaker 1: even if they might be outmatched on paper. Um, there's
4:26
Speaker 1: something with winning in this league that these guys start
4:30
Speaker 1: believing in it and they are really tough out when
4:32
Speaker 1: it comes to the postseason. You went through it in Um.
4:37
Speaker 1: That's the fact that you haven't lost in a while,
4:40
Speaker 1: matter when you're going into a playoff game. I think so,
4:44
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's some confidence that comes from
4:46
Speaker 1: each win, just like you lose a little confidence with
4:48
Speaker 1: each loss. The fact that each win strengthening the bond
4:53
Speaker 1: between the team and coach Peterson in terms of believing
4:57
Speaker 1: in the things that he says. Yeah, there's a lot
5:00
Speaker 1: to be game. And then when you talk about teams
5:02
Speaker 1: that win find a way to continue to win once
5:04
Speaker 1: they get into the tournament, it's because they developed the
5:07
Speaker 1: habits that are conducive to winning. Uh, you know last
5:11
Speaker 1: week notwithstanding normally you don't turn the ball over, you
5:14
Speaker 1: don't give up big plays, You find a way to
5:16
Speaker 1: reduce satienalties so you don't give cheapyards and easy opportunities
5:21
Speaker 1: to the opponent. When you do those things, more times
5:24
Speaker 1: than not, you're gonna find a way to win games.
5:26
Speaker 1: And so as this team continues to make their march
5:29
Speaker 1: um under the leadership with Doug Peterson, they are going
5:32
Speaker 1: to understand how to win games, what their way of
5:36
Speaker 1: winning game looks like. And when you start having a
5:39
Speaker 1: couple of things go your way, a couple of balls
5:41
Speaker 1: bounce your way, yeah, you begin to believe not that
5:44
Speaker 1: necessarily the team of destiny, but at some point you'll
5:47
Speaker 1: find a way to win. And you hear that when
5:49
Speaker 1: you listen to sounds of the game. You hear that
5:51
Speaker 1: when you hear the players miked up, the way that
5:55
Speaker 1: they talk to one another, they never feel like they're
5:57
Speaker 1: out of a game. And so hats off to Peterson
6:00
Speaker 1: for kind of pouring that into the players and for
6:02
Speaker 1: them buying in to what he's been saying. We'll get
6:05
Speaker 1: into the matchup coming up and just a bit, but
6:08
Speaker 1: let's start off with head coach Doug Peterson, and yes,
6:11
Speaker 1: his history with Chiefs head coach Andy Reid goes back
6:15
Speaker 1: a long way, and what a battle it should be. Listen,
6:19
Speaker 1: I I owe a lot to coach read, you know,
6:21
Speaker 1: on my career, not only is a player, but as
6:23
Speaker 1: a coaching and I still want to I want to
6:25
Speaker 1: pick his brain and learn He's been doing this a
6:27
Speaker 1: long time and he's been you know, really really successful
6:30
Speaker 1: you know at it. So anything I can learn and
6:33
Speaker 1: take away from him. Is a blessing for me. They
6:36
Speaker 1: started together in the mid nineties in Green Bay, and
6:43
Speaker 1: of course they have followed each other throughout as when
6:46
Speaker 1: Andy Reid was a head coach, he was an assistant,
6:49
Speaker 1: he was a player with him. Of course, a couple
6:51
Speaker 1: different stops in Green Bay and in Philadelphia. And there's
6:56
Speaker 1: the comparison on your screen. Now he's been at it
6:58
Speaker 1: for a long time. Doug Peterson now sick seasons as
7:01
Speaker 1: a head coach, each with a Super Bowl win. They
7:05
Speaker 1: you know, they feel a lot alike in terms of
7:07
Speaker 1: personality and the way they approached the game. Bucky, You've
7:11
Speaker 1: you've been around both these guys, So is that is
7:14
Speaker 1: that fair? I think it's a very accurate assessment. Haven't
7:18
Speaker 1: been around both guys. Uh, having played with Doug, having
7:22
Speaker 1: been a player in Green Bay under Andy Reid. Yeah,
7:25
Speaker 1: they're there are a lot of similarities. Both guys have
7:27
Speaker 1: a recipe for winning that uh certainly works. And because
7:30
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson was Andy Reid's first quarterback in Philadelphia, Uh,
7:34
Speaker 1: there's a special connection. Takes him with him to Kansas City.
7:38
Speaker 1: They work together, they have success. Um, Doug goes on
7:41
Speaker 1: to have more success in Philadelphia bringing a super Bowl,
7:45
Speaker 1: and so he certainly understands what makes Andy Reid tick.
7:49
Speaker 1: And one of the things that he has certainly been
7:51
Speaker 1: able to take is the preparation process during a bye week. Well,
7:55
Speaker 1: Andy Reid is the best in the business of being
7:57
Speaker 1: able to maximize that. I think his record is twenty
7:59
Speaker 1: seven and four including the postseason when he's had a
8:02
Speaker 1: bye in the regular or postseason. And so he knows
8:05
Speaker 1: that his former boss is gonna have a bunch of
8:07
Speaker 1: wrinkles and tricks and uh, fun stuff for my call
8:11
Speaker 1: will to get ready for it, and so I think
8:13
Speaker 1: he can help him with the preparation process in terms
8:15
Speaker 1: of just knowing how Andy Reid views the game and
8:19
Speaker 1: how Andy Reid will approach this game as it is
8:21
Speaker 1: the first game of their playoff front Mackey, how similar
8:25
Speaker 1: they uh when you really dig down, I mean, I
8:30
Speaker 1: know it's easy to say as play callers in terms
8:33
Speaker 1: of how they manage a game, aggressiveness, etcetera. I mean,
8:38
Speaker 1: is there a difference that you find or are they
8:41
Speaker 1: carbon copies? How would you? Uh? It's differentiate them? Yeah?
8:46
Speaker 1: Very similar, very similar. Both of these guys are similar
8:50
Speaker 1: in terms of like their minds, their brilliant minds. When
8:53
Speaker 1: it comes to how they view offense, I would say
8:56
Speaker 1: that Andy Reid is probably a little more um willing
9:01
Speaker 1: to build plays into the game plan and package. He
9:05
Speaker 1: has a little more volume than Doug. We have. Doug
9:08
Speaker 1: does a great job of, uh showing complexity to the opponent,
9:12
Speaker 1: but keeping it very simple for the quarterback. Andy Reid
9:15
Speaker 1: is gonna show complexity and it's still gonna be complex
9:18
Speaker 1: for everybody, but they figure out a way to get
9:19
Speaker 1: it done. And so I would say Andy Reid likes
9:22
Speaker 1: to bring more to the game in terms of the
9:25
Speaker 1: big old car sheet. Doug finds a way to kind
9:27
Speaker 1: of keep it simple for the players. But they are creative,
9:30
Speaker 1: they're aggressive, Uh, they're not afraid to take chances, and
9:34
Speaker 1: they've won a lot of games. But there I would
9:36
Speaker 1: say cutting style. We see a lot of that in
9:39
Speaker 1: the red zone, certainly with the Chiefs. Bucky with the intricate,
9:43
Speaker 1: interesting different play designs, huddle designs, everything that comes with that.
9:48
Speaker 1: He's he's always looking for an edge. You're always looking
9:51
Speaker 1: for an edge. They're they're they're going to kind of
9:53
Speaker 1: test you defensively to get lined up right to handle
9:56
Speaker 1: all the motions and shifts and the different alignments of
9:59
Speaker 1: their main players. And he Reid does a great job
10:02
Speaker 1: of masking his intentions and trying to find opportunities to
10:06
Speaker 1: create favorable matchups for his best players. But make no mistake,
10:10
Speaker 1: for both teams, the straw that stirs to drink is
10:13
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Pat Mahomes has helped Andy Reid's offense in
10:17
Speaker 1: Kansas City go from really good to outstand the exceptional, extraordinary,
10:21
Speaker 1: whatever assis if you want to use. And then Doug
10:24
Speaker 1: Peterson has found this franchise quarterback and Trevor Lawrence and
10:27
Speaker 1: you can already see where this offense can go after
10:30
Speaker 1: one year. So it's a lot of fun watching these
10:32
Speaker 1: two square off. Have you ever seen one of those um,
10:35
Speaker 1: you know, ring around the huddle things that you know,
10:39
Speaker 1: can't can't say that I've seen that, And I would
10:42
Speaker 1: think that when we were back in Green Bay with
10:45
Speaker 1: Mike Holmgren that would not have been approved. But Andy
10:48
Speaker 1: Reid has his own style. He likes uh keeping it fun. Uh.
10:53
Speaker 1: They've used single wing formations, They've used all kinds of
10:56
Speaker 1: uh funny stuff throughout his tenure there. The one think
11:00
Speaker 1: that he knows is when you put these kinds of
11:01
Speaker 1: things in, it certainly engages the players. It keeps it light, uh,
11:06
Speaker 1: while also allowing them to kind of focus in on
11:09
Speaker 1: the things that they need to do to win a game.
11:10
Speaker 1: So who doesn't like playing in that kind of style
11:12
Speaker 1: of offense? Absolutely? Yeah, to watch. I'm guessing much like
11:16
Speaker 1: the T formation for the Jags, that's the ring around
11:19
Speaker 1: the huddle is probably a one off. That might be
11:21
Speaker 1: I don't think you'll see that one again. And let's
11:23
Speaker 1: come back a quarterback matchup and how they match up
11:26
Speaker 1: against you opposing defense. That's all coming up your social
11:29
Speaker 1: media questions in just a little bit of course. The
11:32
Speaker 1: Jaguars and the Chiefs and the a f C Divisional
11:35
Speaker 1: playoff game this Saturday at four thirty at g h
11:38
Speaker 1: A Field and Arrowhead and Stadium in Kansas City. This
11:41
Speaker 1: is huddle up with Buck he Brooks on the Jaguars
11:43
Speaker 1: Digital Network, just you know, first time being around each
11:52
Speaker 1: other then just for having the first de coordinator, just
11:56
Speaker 1: the whole thing. We just finally found who we are
11:59
Speaker 1: at a defense as far as rushing the pass. Him
12:02
Speaker 1: and I believe it's the phone man front. We with Casey,
12:07
Speaker 1: we gotta come alive phone man front. We gotta come
12:09
Speaker 1: alive because I'm got me help in the back end
12:11
Speaker 1: of cover. So we gotta rush, folks. We gotta come
12:13
Speaker 1: with some five. We gotta come with some three, just
12:15
Speaker 1: different different We gotta throw different things. That Patrick my
12:19
Speaker 1: home so we can get turned over and hit him.
12:23
Speaker 1: That's Art and Key Jaguars defensive lineman and welcome back
12:27
Speaker 1: and huddle up with Bucky Brooks on a Wednesday ahead
12:29
Speaker 1: of the a FC Divisional playoff j P Shadrick, Bucky Brooks,
12:33
Speaker 1: John Ozier and Ard and Key a big piece of
12:35
Speaker 1: that front. Well, he's been huge, and I'm wondering from Bucky,
12:40
Speaker 1: who uh watch a lot of tape, talks a lot
12:42
Speaker 1: of people. To me, the Jaguars pass rush combined with
12:50
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence's ability to get hot and have sustained scoring,
12:55
Speaker 1: you know, to score two or three drives in a row.
12:58
Speaker 1: Suddenly it when you combine that with the pass rush.
13:01
Speaker 1: I think it's what gives the Jaguars a chance this week. Um,
13:06
Speaker 1: how real is the pressure that they've put on the
13:09
Speaker 1: last six weeks? You follow me, get pressure and you
13:13
Speaker 1: know they can't really rely on it. But it seems
13:16
Speaker 1: to me Bucky did in the last six weeks or
13:18
Speaker 1: so when they have needed pass rush in big situations. Uh,
13:24
Speaker 1: typically speaking, most plays, quarterbacks have not been able to
13:28
Speaker 1: stand calmly against these guys. Are you reading the same thing?
13:33
Speaker 1: You know, they've been able to really dial it up,
13:35
Speaker 1: and it's been great to see because early in the
13:37
Speaker 1: year you wonder how to pass rush was going to fair,
13:39
Speaker 1: particularly some of the struggles that we had early in
13:42
Speaker 1: the season at corner. But the pass rush and the
13:44
Speaker 1: coverage is being connected. They've done a better job of
13:47
Speaker 1: making the plays, particularly when they needed to make him
13:49
Speaker 1: down the stretch. We've seen Josh Allen heat up. I mean, look,
13:52
Speaker 1: we've seen everybody kind of jump into this art and
13:55
Speaker 1: Key and others have their turn creating pressure on the passer.
13:59
Speaker 1: And it's going to be critical for them to be
14:01
Speaker 1: able to do it against Kansas City because ideally, what
14:04
Speaker 1: you want to do is you want to sit back
14:05
Speaker 1: in his zone. You want to make sure that you're
14:07
Speaker 1: play an umbrella coverage to prevent the big plays. You
14:09
Speaker 1: want to force Pat Mahomes to have to really display
14:12
Speaker 1: the discipline and patience to take it down the field
14:15
Speaker 1: without big plays, and then you want to see if
14:17
Speaker 1: you can be really stingy in the red zone. Teams
14:20
Speaker 1: that blitz Pat Mahomes, he continues to make you pay.
14:23
Speaker 1: And so I think you'll see some pressure, but a
14:25
Speaker 1: lot of this will be, like Art and Key said,
14:27
Speaker 1: four man, three man, maybe some occasional five man pressure,
14:31
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be dependent upon uh, the front line
14:34
Speaker 1: to be able to get it done because that's the
14:36
Speaker 1: only way you want to do it because you don't
14:37
Speaker 1: want to expose your corners and coverage. Yeah, I keep
14:39
Speaker 1: JP and Bucky trying to figure out ways, like what's
14:43
Speaker 1: the Jaguars path to victory because if both teams play very,
14:47
Speaker 1: very well, she's probably win because I think they're the
14:51
Speaker 1: you know, they're the better team most days. These two
14:55
Speaker 1: teams plays because they're more experienced, they've been there. But
14:59
Speaker 1: as soon as I say that, I keep going back
15:01
Speaker 1: to that first meeting. When Jaguars score three out of
15:07
Speaker 1: seven times past the fifty, that's a lot out there
15:11
Speaker 1: to be leaving. And I know the Chiefs are a
15:15
Speaker 1: great offense, and they are I would compare them to
15:18
Speaker 1: the Colts teams I covered where you know, they're going
15:20
Speaker 1: to be in the top three every year, and you
15:23
Speaker 1: feel like they're gonna score points in big points, more
15:25
Speaker 1: of from than not. But I kind of had this
15:29
Speaker 1: idea that if the Jaguars, just the Jaguars made it
15:34
Speaker 1: easy for him in that game, uh in Kansas City
15:38
Speaker 1: and Week ten, leaving guys wide open because I think
15:42
Speaker 1: at that point, uh, ever, you get who said it
15:44
Speaker 1: this week, but but one of the players coach, they
15:47
Speaker 1: were still figuring stuff out in the back end, and
15:50
Speaker 1: they had some miscommunications and they were trying to figure
15:52
Speaker 1: out personnel, etcetera. I've got to think they're much more
15:57
Speaker 1: buttoned up in the back and that you don't see
16:00
Speaker 1: the easy stuff. I think just in those two phases,
16:03
Speaker 1: I think they'll score more when they get their opportunities,
16:06
Speaker 1: and I think they'll make things tougher on Kansas City. Uh,
16:09
Speaker 1: and you won't see I don't think you'll see Tony
16:12
Speaker 1: walking into the end zone uncovered or or Kelsey. A
16:16
Speaker 1: couple of plays just absolutely left confused. Maybe I'm just
16:21
Speaker 1: over the optimistic Bucky. No. I think there's been a
16:24
Speaker 1: concerted effort to make sure that they've eliminate Uh, they've
16:27
Speaker 1: eliminated some of the problems in coverage, some of the
16:30
Speaker 1: blown assignments, some of the just egregious rors that led
16:33
Speaker 1: to big plays early in the year. And so they
16:36
Speaker 1: don't run as much stuff, meaning the volume of the
16:38
Speaker 1: playbook and the play sheet is pretty pretty small. But
16:42
Speaker 1: they've been very effective because they master it. And the
16:45
Speaker 1: players have talked about simplicity is giving them an opportunity
16:49
Speaker 1: to really dig deep into what the opponent is doing,
16:51
Speaker 1: which has allowed them to play faster. And the thing
16:54
Speaker 1: that you want from any team offense and defense, you
16:57
Speaker 1: want to play fast, you want to be fearless, and
16:59
Speaker 1: you want to play at a very a very physical
17:01
Speaker 1: uh with a very physical level. So we'll see if
17:03
Speaker 1: the Jaguars defense can get it done, because they had
17:05
Speaker 1: an opportunity in that game, not only defensively but offensively
17:09
Speaker 1: to take the game. The game was right there for
17:11
Speaker 1: the Jaguars to take it, and I think the sense
17:14
Speaker 1: coming out of the game is, man, they just left
17:16
Speaker 1: so many points on the field. We'll see they can
17:18
Speaker 1: do a better job this time cashing in tuddle up
17:21
Speaker 1: with Bucky Brooks. All right, let's flip it around now.
17:24
Speaker 1: Jaguars offense against the Chief defense and let's rewind though,
17:28
Speaker 1: first to last week, Bucky and why was it so
17:32
Speaker 1: drastic of a change from the first half to the
17:35
Speaker 1: second half for Trevor In the offense? What was there?
17:39
Speaker 1: One thing? Was there? A just what happened? A couple
17:43
Speaker 1: of things. Uh. The Charges did a great job of
17:46
Speaker 1: changing the picture pre snap, post snap. They would show
17:49
Speaker 1: one thing before the snap. After snap they were moved
17:52
Speaker 1: to something else, meaning they would show man to man
17:54
Speaker 1: press man. Uh, the jacks with motion they would drop
17:57
Speaker 1: into his own and it confused Trevor. He got food
17:59
Speaker 1: a couple of times. The second thing that they did
18:01
Speaker 1: in the back end is they were squatting on all
18:04
Speaker 1: of the Jaguars routes. If you go back and look
18:07
Speaker 1: at the offense throughout the course of the season, this
18:10
Speaker 1: has not been a team that has taken a lot
18:12
Speaker 1: of shots down the field. They manufactured deep balls, but
18:16
Speaker 1: they're not a team that just throws go ball up
18:18
Speaker 1: to god, ball up to go ball to bag defends up.
18:21
Speaker 1: So what you had you had a bunch of dbs
18:23
Speaker 1: that were sitting at eight to twelve yards waiting for
18:26
Speaker 1: the Jaguars to get to their break point. And so
18:28
Speaker 1: the coverage was real tight and sticky. And then the
18:30
Speaker 1: final thing in the back end, they did a good
18:33
Speaker 1: job of jamming the middle of the field, dropping a
18:36
Speaker 1: lurker right over the ball maybe an eight to ten yards.
18:39
Speaker 1: So all the crossing routes, all the inbreaking routes had
18:42
Speaker 1: really been a big part of the Jaguars offense. They
18:45
Speaker 1: negated that. They took that stuff away and they forced
18:48
Speaker 1: Trevor to throw the ball outside the numbers where they
18:50
Speaker 1: were able to really kind of stimingw receivers, and so
18:52
Speaker 1: it took a while for the Jaguars to catch up
18:55
Speaker 1: to it. And then to be honest, the charges changed
18:57
Speaker 1: what they were doing in the second half. Played more
18:59
Speaker 1: soft zone. Has allowed Trevor to get into his rhythm,
19:01
Speaker 1: and we've seen it. Once Number sixteen gets into his rhythm,
19:05
Speaker 1: he's as good as any quarterback in the National Football League. Yeah,
19:09
Speaker 1: And the point you made the very end is what
19:14
Speaker 1: I'm sort of locked in on this week a little bit.
19:16
Speaker 1: When he's hot, he's as good as there is, you know,
19:20
Speaker 1: and uh, you know it's sort of obvious when you
19:24
Speaker 1: play that way, but when you start talking about quarterback
19:26
Speaker 1: advantages in this game, Yes, for the most part, my
19:30
Speaker 1: homes is an advantage, But when Trevor is playing like
19:34
Speaker 1: he is in the second half, nobody has an advantage
19:36
Speaker 1: over this team. And I think that's where that eight
19:38
Speaker 1: point five spread. If you always can figure out a
19:42
Speaker 1: way to get them going early, then I think this
19:45
Speaker 1: is an even matchup because and I'm curious about this,
19:49
Speaker 1: Bucky UM, when I see stats like wide receiver, wide receiver, receiver,
20:00
Speaker 1: tight end catching touchdown passes. It's been going on all year, Um,
20:05
Speaker 1: how difficult is this team to defend when you really
20:09
Speaker 1: don't have a go to guy, but you've got four
20:13
Speaker 1: receivers that he really relies on. To me as a
20:16
Speaker 1: second year quarterback, to be as comfortable with every receiver
20:21
Speaker 1: and with E. T n it's rare. He doesn't need
20:23
Speaker 1: to go to guy right now now he doesn't need it.
20:28
Speaker 1: And so I referenced the conversation that I had with
20:30
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson in the off season where he said, I
20:32
Speaker 1: don't need a bunch of a's. I can get this
20:35
Speaker 1: done with some bs and b pluses on the perimeter.
20:37
Speaker 1: And when you look at the team, we have very
20:39
Speaker 1: good receivers. I don't know if there's uh an All
20:42
Speaker 1: Pro receiver on the perimeter. But they're guys that are
20:45
Speaker 1: very interchangeable and complimentary when they're playing together. And so
20:49
Speaker 1: because they're able to kind of bounce around and play
20:51
Speaker 1: different spots and you can do musical chairs, like Doug
20:54
Speaker 1: has talked about in the off season, makes a team very,
20:57
Speaker 1: very difficult to defend because you don't know where the
21:00
Speaker 1: ball is going. Duck can change who the primary receiver is,
21:03
Speaker 1: and when you have that man, it just keeps the
21:05
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator guessing and sometimes that plays in the Jaguars favorite.
21:09
Speaker 1: You have to have some smart players to go execute
21:12
Speaker 1: that too, Bucky. I mean, if if all of a
21:14
Speaker 1: sudden they're lined up and they've gotta make a change
21:16
Speaker 1: the line, they can't just run guys all over the
21:19
Speaker 1: field to change, so they you gotta learn all these
21:21
Speaker 1: routes if you're a wide receiver. Yeah, and you know
21:24
Speaker 1: they talked about that in the off season. So what
21:26
Speaker 1: he did. One of the advantages of going to get
21:28
Speaker 1: a veteran group is that you can do those things.
21:31
Speaker 1: You can put more information on their plate. Za Jones,
21:34
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones, Christian Kirk, Evan Ingram. They played a ton
21:37
Speaker 1: of games in this League, and so because they played
21:40
Speaker 1: so much, they're able to handle the volume that Dog
21:43
Speaker 1: Peterson puts on them. They also are able to handle
21:46
Speaker 1: the constant shifting and changing that He's also been able
21:48
Speaker 1: to do. Barky Brooks is at it today. I love it.
21:53
Speaker 1: She fired up for the playoffs. It happens every time
21:57
Speaker 1: the gardener shows up out here is one. The gardner
22:02
Speaker 1: shows up every time I'm trying to do the podcast
22:04
Speaker 1: and Luna is going absolutely crazy. I don't I don't
22:08
Speaker 1: have a gardener. JPI. Again, I think we've gone through
22:12
Speaker 1: this before. Bucky is the only one on this show
22:14
Speaker 1: that has a gardener. I like how he continues to
22:18
Speaker 1: sort of twist that with that, it happens. There's no
22:21
Speaker 1: better time to become a Dailies Place Blue member than
22:23
Speaker 1: right now. Enjoy the best live music around with access
22:26
Speaker 1: to the best seats and amenities, premium parking and more.
22:29
Speaker 1: Reserve your spot for three Dailies Placed Season right now.
22:34
Speaker 1: Email ticketing at bowld events dot com or called nine
22:36
Speaker 1: oh four six three three two thousand. Concert season is
22:41
Speaker 1: coming soon. We're back with social media questions. It' huddle
22:44
Speaker 1: up with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network. The
22:51
Speaker 1: difference is, you know, you you win and you keep going,
22:54
Speaker 1: you lose and you're done. So there's that there's that
22:56
Speaker 1: sense of urgency of just I mean, I don't want
22:59
Speaker 1: to say it this way, but just the desperation of
23:02
Speaker 1: doing everything you can to win the game. And you
23:04
Speaker 1: feel that on both sides of the ball. And it's
23:06
Speaker 1: it's that way in the regular season two but it's
23:08
Speaker 1: just another level just because everybody knows. You know, this
23:11
Speaker 1: is especially now we're in the divisional round. We're getting
23:14
Speaker 1: deeper and deeper in this thing. People know what's on
23:17
Speaker 1: the line, and you just I mean, guys just willing
23:18
Speaker 1: to do whatever it takes to win. And so there's
23:20
Speaker 1: that level of intensity and you know, you know you're
23:23
Speaker 1: gonna get everybody's best shot, so you gotta be prepared.
23:26
Speaker 1: And um, I mean, but I mean, at the end
23:29
Speaker 1: of the day, it's it's the same game. You know,
23:31
Speaker 1: you play it the same way just because's the playoffs.
23:33
Speaker 1: You don't change what you do. But at the same time,
23:36
Speaker 1: we all know how big of a game it is
23:38
Speaker 1: for for us and for Kansas City, and you know,
23:40
Speaker 1: everybody that's the quarterback trentor Lawrence and it's huddle up
23:45
Speaker 1: with Bucky Brooks, JP, Shadrick, John Osier along the Jaguars
23:50
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs coming up. I think about this jape,
23:55
Speaker 1: isn't news news breaking? All right? It's not the last year.
23:59
Speaker 1: Think about what that kid was talking about, unreal, right,
24:02
Speaker 1: and what he was going through. And sorry I banged
24:05
Speaker 1: the table, but you know, baby Amy, Um, it's it's
24:09
Speaker 1: it's truly unbelievable to think, Uh, where he and this
24:15
Speaker 1: franchise have come from, three and fourteen, one and fifteen
24:19
Speaker 1: three fifteen wasn't his and now they are talking about
24:23
Speaker 1: being one of the last eight teams playing, and you've
24:27
Speaker 1: had the home games at this place the last five.
24:31
Speaker 1: It's uh, you know, I'm constantly compared to I'm constantly
24:35
Speaker 1: comparing to to to six because you can't have lived
24:39
Speaker 1: through ninety six and not feel a comparison. But that
24:44
Speaker 1: team was an expansion team with no scars. Uh. To
24:48
Speaker 1: go from what this was to what it is this
24:52
Speaker 1: fast and be giving those moments out there, Um, I'm
24:56
Speaker 1: a jaded old sports writer, but it's special. It's it
25:00
Speaker 1: something I didn't expect, It couldn't predicted it and I
25:03
Speaker 1: just have fans again remember savorite, because no matter how
25:07
Speaker 1: good it is in the future, it will never be
25:09
Speaker 1: this kind of magic. Now. It's special, especial for this
25:14
Speaker 1: team to have come as far as they've come, and
25:17
Speaker 1: I think we can go back and look, man, it
25:19
Speaker 1: could have been so much better, even when you think
25:21
Speaker 1: about the games that we kind of dropped early in
25:23
Speaker 1: the year. But without those losses, those lessons wouldn't have
25:26
Speaker 1: made the team as resilient and as tough as it
25:29
Speaker 1: is right now. And to see the young quarterback grow
25:31
Speaker 1: and develop and do the things that he's been able
25:33
Speaker 1: to do, to see him not only gained the confidence
25:36
Speaker 1: of his teammates, but to kind of become the franchise
25:39
Speaker 1: quarterback that every franchise wants like to see him bounce
25:43
Speaker 1: back from the four interception game, I think that is
25:46
Speaker 1: the thing that will take it over the top, because
25:48
Speaker 1: now you've had an opportunity to see your quarterback at
25:50
Speaker 1: his lowest and he didn't fall apart. When you think
25:53
Speaker 1: about how many other quarterbacks would have absolutely fallen apart
25:57
Speaker 1: after throwing four interceptions in a quarter some change. Look,
26:01
Speaker 1: not many guys are built like that, And so what
26:03
Speaker 1: you hope is that Trevor Lawrence not only uses this
26:05
Speaker 1: season as a as a springboard, but they're able to
26:10
Speaker 1: kind of take this bottle it and it becomes kind
26:13
Speaker 1: of a part of the yearly thing that we begin
26:15
Speaker 1: to expect a team that's always in the postseason, a
26:18
Speaker 1: team that always has an opportunity to be one of
26:20
Speaker 1: the last one standing. When you think about Doug Peterson's
26:23
Speaker 1: mentor Andy Reid, that's what the Chiefs have no matter
26:26
Speaker 1: what happens, no matter who comes and goes. Because you
26:29
Speaker 1: got the quarterback right and you're able to put the
26:31
Speaker 1: right pieces around him, you always have an opportunity to
26:34
Speaker 1: be the last team standing at the end of the year.
26:36
Speaker 1: That's what Jaguars fans can hope for. That's what the organization,
26:38
Speaker 1: Surtaly wants. Yeah, it hit me walking out of that game.
26:44
Speaker 1: I think we learned more and have more trust of
26:50
Speaker 1: what he is about Trevor Lawrence in that game. Then
26:54
Speaker 1: if he had a hundred fifty eight point three rating,
26:57
Speaker 1: you know, if he completed every pass and they went
26:59
Speaker 1: from the star it's great, everybody's happy, But I I
27:02
Speaker 1: have so agree with Buck and JP. We've talked about
27:04
Speaker 1: a little bit this week. Every quarterback is going to
27:07
Speaker 1: have adversity, no matter how great they are. I covered
27:10
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning for ten years, saw and win four m vps. Uh.
27:15
Speaker 1: I also within that time saw him loose playoff games,
27:17
Speaker 1: win playoff games. I thought. I saw him throw six
27:19
Speaker 1: picks against the Chargers one night, so I'll make a
27:21
Speaker 1: lot of mistakes, but you never doubt it. After a while,
27:25
Speaker 1: he got to the point where he would make a
27:27
Speaker 1: few mistakes and there are never any questions after the
27:29
Speaker 1: game because you knew he was Peyton Manning, uh, and
27:31
Speaker 1: you knew that he would respond and come back and
27:34
Speaker 1: play well. And so that Trevor showing that within that game, Um,
27:42
Speaker 1: that's a twenty three year old doing that. It's not
27:45
Speaker 1: a twenty eight year old who who has had a
27:48
Speaker 1: body of work to convince himself that it's going to
27:50
Speaker 1: be okay. It's a twenty three year old. Has there
27:53
Speaker 1: been through that? And think about this, JP, it was
27:56
Speaker 1: on national TV, it was with every eye watched him
28:00
Speaker 1: other game that night. Somewhere in the back of your mind,
28:02
Speaker 1: you've got to be sitting there thinking, well, the entire
28:04
Speaker 1: lyad is gonna think I sneak now well, that's a
28:07
Speaker 1: one o'clock game. Maybe it's a little different. That's prime
28:09
Speaker 1: time season on the line, gotta go get it it.
28:14
Speaker 1: It's remarkable. I've never seen it before, and I surely
28:16
Speaker 1: very many people have. I think it speaks actively like
28:19
Speaker 1: you said, this kid, Now, I don't there's any doubt
28:23
Speaker 1: before it's gone. Yeah, he may not have many more
28:26
Speaker 1: adverse situations than he had on the first half of
28:29
Speaker 1: that game any quarterbacks the rest of his career, right,
28:33
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's that was record setting stuff that
28:35
Speaker 1: he was doing in the first quarter, right with three interceptions,
28:39
Speaker 1: and for him to come back from from that, which
28:42
Speaker 1: is an old time performance on the wrong end, to
28:45
Speaker 1: an all time performance on the good side of things
28:47
Speaker 1: and one sixty minute period is just incredible. It is incredible.
28:52
Speaker 1: One of the things about a franchise quarterback, they give
28:55
Speaker 1: you hope, They give everybody in the stadium hope that
28:59
Speaker 1: if the ball is in there, here is the last minute,
29:01
Speaker 1: they're gonna find a way to get it done. And
29:03
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna try and keep hey, Luna, Luna, try
29:07
Speaker 1: and keep Luna under control, because she must know that. Hey,
29:10
Speaker 1: she's also very optimistic that if Trevor Lawrence has the
29:13
Speaker 1: ball at the end of the game, he's gonna find
29:14
Speaker 1: a way to get it done. So I think that's
29:16
Speaker 1: the thing that you're having. That's what you've always wanted,
29:19
Speaker 1: and so it's great by the Jaguars that the former
29:21
Speaker 1: number one overall pick can play at that level. But
29:23
Speaker 1: now what you want to see him do is you
29:25
Speaker 1: want to see him go toe to toe with Pat Mahomes,
29:27
Speaker 1: who was because look, he's the consistent number one quarterback
29:30
Speaker 1: in the league. If Trevor Lawrence can go toe to
29:32
Speaker 1: toe with him, man, you feel great about what you
29:35
Speaker 1: have in the future in Jacksonville. All right, guys, let's
29:38
Speaker 1: come back in a moment. We'll get to social media
29:40
Speaker 1: questions and wrap it up on this Wednesday. If you're
29:44
Speaker 1: ready to join the Jaguars, season ticket deposits are now open,

Speaker 1: opponents are and the opponents coming to the bank next
30:12
Speaker 1: year are spectacular. A first place schedule for the first
30:15
Speaker 1: place Jaguars. And this is Hundle Up with Bucky Brooks
30:19
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Digital Network. We're fortunate, We're very fortunate.
30:29
Speaker 1: We're very fortunate the other night that doesn't happen, you know,
30:33
Speaker 1: for five five takeaways or five giveaways and and come
30:36
Speaker 1: back and win football game. That just does not happen.
30:38
Speaker 1: And that's something that we we address our team a
30:41
Speaker 1: lot about and you know, I don't want to over
30:45
Speaker 1: emphasize it, but at the same time they have to
30:47
Speaker 1: understand it. The the seriousness of keeping the football and
30:52
Speaker 1: the seriousness of creating takeaways. And you know, our defense
30:57
Speaker 1: has also been you know, getting the ball a little
30:59
Speaker 1: bit or two, so that's that's been a bonus for us.
31:01
Speaker 1: But you know, offensively, uh, we just can't give it
31:05
Speaker 1: away like we've been doing in order to win these games,
31:07
Speaker 1: especially now where we're at. Doug Peterson of course earlier
31:11
Speaker 1: this week on turnovers and the Jaguar has had five
31:14
Speaker 1: of those on Saturday, four on offense and welcome back.
31:19
Speaker 1: It's huddle up with Bucky Brooks. Let's take a look
31:21
Speaker 1: outside of the Miller Electric Center under construction outside t
31:25
Speaker 1: i A a bank field. Nice day out, nice day,
31:28
Speaker 1: seventy two degrees today at practice inside the bank today,
31:32
Speaker 1: bright sunshine. The Miller Electric Center is scheduled to be
31:37
Speaker 1: open this summer and ready for a training camp in
31:40
Speaker 1: late July. Were coming along, coming quick, It's gonna be great.
31:44
Speaker 1: Team will move in there very very soon. Speaking. Weather
31:47
Speaker 1: is supposed to be cold, like mid thirties, maybe a
31:50
Speaker 1: chance of snow on Saturday. Light dusting, Yeah, why not
31:54
Speaker 1: with Indiana by the day is coming back. Yeah, but
31:58
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like it's going to be prohibitive game
32:04
Speaker 1: changing weather, game affecting a little bit, but I don't
32:08
Speaker 1: think it all. It doesn't seem like it's going to
32:11
Speaker 1: dictate uh overhauling game plans. Well, Bucky's Southern California ears
32:16
Speaker 1: just perked up when we said the four letter word
32:19
Speaker 1: that starts with S snow. Let's take a look now
32:23
Speaker 1: at some social media questions. Yes, we put out the
32:27
Speaker 1: cat's signal. Here's the best we came up with today
32:29
Speaker 1: at base scout x I. I guess that's eleven. For
32:33
Speaker 1: the past three weeks, we've seen the Jaguars defense struggle
32:35
Speaker 1: against routes in the flat or more specifically, tight ends
32:38
Speaker 1: breaking out on third and short. How do the Jags
32:41
Speaker 1: overcome this habit against Travis Kelsey and k C. I mean,
32:49
Speaker 1: I think it depends on what you're trying to stop.
32:51
Speaker 1: I think some of those things the Jaguars are willing
32:54
Speaker 1: to concede. Some of those those balls are those throws
32:56
Speaker 1: to the flat because you're trying to take away deeper throws.
32:59
Speaker 1: One of things when you're the Jaguars, you're trying to
33:01
Speaker 1: play a little more ben but don't break in the
33:03
Speaker 1: back end. You have to be willing to give up
33:06
Speaker 1: the checkdowns. Um, unless it's to a person that you really,
33:10
Speaker 1: you really fear it's dangerous. Like last week they made
33:13
Speaker 1: sure that Austin Neckler didn't leak out. Wasn't a big
33:16
Speaker 1: factor in the passing game. I think of all things,
33:18
Speaker 1: uh gg McKinnon being a factor. You will see the
33:22
Speaker 1: Jaguars maybe clamped down a little more on some of
33:25
Speaker 1: the underneath throws to the backs, maybe hug up the
33:28
Speaker 1: guys a little tighter on some of those crossing routes
33:31
Speaker 1: and maybe you take your chances with the Juju Smith,
33:33
Speaker 1: Schuster and some of those other guys getting loose. Remember
33:36
Speaker 1: the first time uh Kadarius Tony had a big game, Um,
33:39
Speaker 1: he had just shown up. You didn't know what he
33:41
Speaker 1: was getting, and he came in immediately and kind of
33:43
Speaker 1: feeled the role of you know, Tyreek Kill and Miko
33:46
Speaker 1: Harman as they're designated speed and big play weapon. And
33:49
Speaker 1: so now that he's gotten your attention to you take
33:51
Speaker 1: that away and maybe forced them to go somewhere else
33:54
Speaker 1: as part of the chess match that you'll see between
33:56
Speaker 1: Mike Carlwell and Andy Reid and Eric b Enemy. And
33:59
Speaker 1: when you're playing in great offenses and in great quarterbacks,
34:02
Speaker 1: which I would say Herbert uh my Home is certainly
34:05
Speaker 1: fitt of that category, you can't take everything away. And
34:10
Speaker 1: as he said, this team has has been trying to
34:13
Speaker 1: concede a little bit, not give up the big plays,
34:16
Speaker 1: and then counter that with getting believing that over the
34:21
Speaker 1: course of the game you're going to get the other
34:23
Speaker 1: team and enough third and longs to have the pass
34:26
Speaker 1: rush be effective, get off the field break service. I
34:30
Speaker 1: like to say, so, Bucky, I think some of those
34:33
Speaker 1: third and four some of the certain short tight ends. Um,
34:36
Speaker 1: you've got to pick your poison a little bit. And
34:39
Speaker 1: it's not a defense or a league right now, we're
34:41
Speaker 1: gonna shut everybody out. There has to be some concession.
34:44
Speaker 1: One more social media question today off Twitter a busy
34:48
Speaker 1: place this week, of course, after the win at Nick
34:51
Speaker 1: Pope Joy, Will this be the most difficult game in
34:54
Speaker 1: Jack's playoff history or does the nineties six Broncos games
34:57
Speaker 1: still take the cake? M I'll jump in here, Buck,
35:01
Speaker 1: I don't think the ninety six game was the most
35:04
Speaker 1: difficult because they want and they've lost some playoffs. I
35:07
Speaker 1: mean I'm being a little facetious there, but uh, you know,
35:11
Speaker 1: I think you won't know that until you win. Now.
35:15
Speaker 1: The toughest pre task, Uh yeah, I think this is
35:20
Speaker 1: up there with the Broncos. I think it's my opinion
35:25
Speaker 1: and probably just a way of looking at it. I
35:28
Speaker 1: think this is a tougher task than the Broncos in
35:33
Speaker 1: this sense. The ninety six Broncos were a great team
35:37
Speaker 1: that had not been that number one seed at home
35:41
Speaker 1: in a while. Uh. That was that team's first experience
35:48
Speaker 1: as the number one seed as protecting it all, playing
35:51
Speaker 1: at home with that sort of pressure. The Chiefs have
35:54
Speaker 1: done this a lot in the last three or four years.
35:57
Speaker 1: This is what they do. They win divisional play offs
36:00
Speaker 1: as the top seed and get themselves a championship games.
36:04
Speaker 1: It doesn't make them unbeatable. They are not an unbeatable
36:07
Speaker 1: team at home, even with home field advantage. They've lost
36:10
Speaker 1: four or five games in this regime like that. But
36:14
Speaker 1: if you're if you're asking what's more difficult, Uh, This
36:17
Speaker 1: Chief's team believes in itself and knows how to win
36:22
Speaker 1: this round game. Buggy. Yeah, the Chiefs know how to
36:26
Speaker 1: do it. And when you're a team this one, what
36:29
Speaker 1: is it seven straight division titles you've been to or
36:32
Speaker 1: four consecutive ANFC championship games, you want a ton of
36:35
Speaker 1: games Under Andy Reid, he has all of that experience. Well,
36:39
Speaker 1: that experience allows you to develop an expertise and how
36:42
Speaker 1: to play these games. And they've won games in a
36:45
Speaker 1: bunch of different ways. And the young quarterback, which is
36:47
Speaker 1: crazy that Pat Mahomes is only twenty seven years old,
36:50
Speaker 1: but he's seemingly played in a bunch of these huge
36:53
Speaker 1: games and so he has a way of being able
36:56
Speaker 1: to bring the team back to kind of be the
36:58
Speaker 1: stabilizing force when things go arived because he can bring
37:00
Speaker 1: them back. And he has played at an m v
37:02
Speaker 1: P level, not only doing the regular season but in
37:04
Speaker 1: super Bowls, and so it's a tough task for the
37:07
Speaker 1: Jaguars because of all of those things, but it's not
37:11
Speaker 1: insurmountable because the talent is different on the perimeter than
37:15
Speaker 1: it used to be. Tyreek Hill was a major factor
37:18
Speaker 1: in those previous postseasons because you always had account for
37:22
Speaker 1: where he is now. If you're looking at this game,
37:26
Speaker 1: the guys that you have to stop, it starts with
37:28
Speaker 1: dealing with Travis Kelsey and then it's okay, do we
37:32
Speaker 1: want to take away the running back? Do we want
37:34
Speaker 1: other these other guys. I think it's an easier offense
37:37
Speaker 1: to defend now because you don't have the explosive weapons
37:40
Speaker 1: that you had when Tyreek Hill was also on the perimeter.
37:42
Speaker 1: With Travis Kelsey. We'll help me out as we close,
37:45
Speaker 1: Bucky and I look forward to seeing in Kansas City.
37:48
Speaker 1: Um as we cluse. I've been wrestling all week with
37:54
Speaker 1: what's the formula? How does this game have to look
37:56
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars to win it? And I believe what
37:58
Speaker 1: I said earlier, I think maybe you're down three at halftime,
38:02
Speaker 1: and then this offense does what it does. It gets hot,
38:06
Speaker 1: gets a lead, shocks him a little bit, and then
38:09
Speaker 1: gets to my Homes with a pass rush, forces a mistake,
38:11
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, the games sort of
38:13
Speaker 1: over before they have a chance to come back. What's
38:16
Speaker 1: your path? How do you see this game going at
38:19
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are going to go win it? I think
38:22
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars and when they need to be within
38:24
Speaker 1: striking distance at halftime, I think you have to play
38:27
Speaker 1: this one where obviously seven old depthsit is not going
38:31
Speaker 1: to be in the cards. I think it has to
38:33
Speaker 1: be one where the offense really is going to have
38:36
Speaker 1: to click. When you look at the way the Bengals
38:38
Speaker 1: beat them last year offensively, they kind of went up
38:40
Speaker 1: and down the field and then the Kann City chiefs
38:43
Speaker 1: um helped them by making some bonehead eras a season ago.
38:48
Speaker 1: You need the quarterback to kind of build you out
38:50
Speaker 1: with some turnovers, meaning Patrick Mahomes has to turn it
38:53
Speaker 1: over a couple of times because you're gonna need those
38:55
Speaker 1: extra possessions to kind of stretch out the lead. But
38:58
Speaker 1: this is a winnaful game. I think people have to
39:00
Speaker 1: understand that. Look, the kan City Chiefs played a tight
39:03
Speaker 1: game against the Houston Texans, and so I would look
39:06
Speaker 1: heavily into that film and try and figure out what
39:09
Speaker 1: did the Texans do to keep the ball in front
39:11
Speaker 1: to allow them to stay in this The Jaguars certainly
39:14
Speaker 1: have more firepower, but I think there's certainly a blueprint
39:17
Speaker 1: uh for them to do it. I think it's ben
39:19
Speaker 1: but don't break into twenties and win the red zone
39:22
Speaker 1: efficiency battle, meaning give up field goals not touchdowns, and
39:25
Speaker 1: score touchdowns not setting for field goals. They do that,
39:28
Speaker 1: I think that the Jaguards can go on the road
39:30
Speaker 1: and win a game that are not not many people
39:32
Speaker 1: are gonna say that they have a chance to win.
39:34
Speaker 1: You have it. There's the path to victory for John
39:37
Speaker 1: and Bucky. That'll do it for this week. Bucky safe travels.
