0:25
Speaker 1: with Bucky Brooks. J P. Shadrick, John Aos are alongside
0:28
Speaker 1: as well. Busy show ahead. Availability has been a talking
0:33
Speaker 1: point today. We'll get the Jaguars statement from this morning
0:38
Speaker 1: and then to waiver claim singular should be there's only one.
0:42
Speaker 1: The Jaguars just announced some roster moves and the practice
0:46
Speaker 1: squad signings moments ago. We'll try to get to week one.
0:49
Speaker 1: It feels like it's never gonna get here at the
0:52
Speaker 1: pace this week is gone, but let's get onto it.
0:55
Speaker 1: We'll get a social media question in as well before
0:57
Speaker 1: the end of the show. Bucky is joining us from
1:00
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, California. It's the Dead Wig, but it's not
1:05
Speaker 1: really dead. There's a lot going on, Buck, There's always
1:08
Speaker 1: a lot going on, and because we have this extended period,
1:11
Speaker 1: which is almost like the Super Bowl week before the
1:13
Speaker 1: regular season kicks off lots of activity, practice, squad signings,
1:17
Speaker 1: people trying to figure out the last minute roster situations.
1:19
Speaker 1: It's a lot. I have a question for the scout
1:22
Speaker 1: to kick on. Go ahead, John please. You talked about
1:24
Speaker 1: the extended week, but um, does this help? Uh? Before
1:31
Speaker 1: if you claim a guy on Tuesday, on the Monday, Uh,
1:37
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, you're have three or four
1:40
Speaker 1: days before the opener. Now you've got ten days before
1:43
Speaker 1: the opener for these guys, does this help a guy
1:47
Speaker 1: get acclimated more quickly? Is this good for the player?
1:50
Speaker 1: I guess? And in that sense absolutely, I think you
1:53
Speaker 1: should be able to get a guy ready to play
1:55
Speaker 1: in about ten days. Uh. That is enough for him
1:57
Speaker 1: to have at least a base level knowledge and understanding
2:01
Speaker 1: of what you're doing. From a skip matic standpoint. It
2:04
Speaker 1: also gives your special teams, coaches and other guys enough
2:07
Speaker 1: time to be able to assess what the player is
2:10
Speaker 1: athletically on the field and kind of put a plan
2:12
Speaker 1: in place to get him onto the field to play
2:15
Speaker 1: in a game. So, yes, the extended time should help
2:18
Speaker 1: some of these guys that are claimed over the next
2:20
Speaker 1: day or two get on the field and we want
2:22
Speaker 1: to become a media contributors. All right, we'll go through
2:25
Speaker 1: the roster moves coming up in just a little bit.
2:27
Speaker 1: Let's start off today, though, with all the the talk
2:30
Speaker 1: that happened this morning, last night, this morning, after Urban
2:33
Speaker 1: meyers press conference yesterday. Urban yesterday answered the question about
2:37
Speaker 1: vaccination status playing a role and cutting the roster and
2:40
Speaker 1: said it was a consideration. Some of run with it,
2:43
Speaker 1: saying it was the deciding factor. Not true. The n
2:46
Speaker 1: f l p A said they were opening an investigation today.
2:49
Speaker 1: The Jaguar is at least a statement discussing availability. It's
2:53
Speaker 1: one of the many factors taken into account on making
2:55
Speaker 1: roster decisions. You can read the rest on your screen there, Buck, Hey,
3:00
Speaker 1: this is this is one where you know, part of
3:03
Speaker 1: it is it's the vaccination non vaccination thing. It's always
3:07
Speaker 1: gonna be a point of um where people attract their attention.
3:12
Speaker 1: Let's say another part of it is Urban Meyer was
3:15
Speaker 1: involved in it. I think where do you stand on
3:18
Speaker 1: what happened yesterday and and this statement from the Jags
3:21
Speaker 1: this morning. Look, I think it's unfortunate that coach Meyer
3:24
Speaker 1: was trying to be transparent and very honest with the
3:27
Speaker 1: media when he still before them and answer the question.
3:29
Speaker 1: But I don't think it's out of the realm of
3:32
Speaker 1: possibility to entertain the prospect of vaccinated players versus unvaccinated
3:37
Speaker 1: players when it comes to potential availability due to the
3:40
Speaker 1: league's more stringent protocols when it comes to unvaccinated players.
3:45
Speaker 1: I think when you have these situations and you are
3:47
Speaker 1: a decision maker and you're trying to figure out how
3:50
Speaker 1: to put the best fifty three on a roster, you
3:53
Speaker 1: have to weigh all of the factors that will be
3:56
Speaker 1: a part of the player being on the team, and
3:59
Speaker 1: whether we talk about vaccination, status or even character, all
4:03
Speaker 1: of those things are part of the equation. I think
4:07
Speaker 1: the bad part is Urban mar was very transparent and
4:11
Speaker 1: answering the question, and because of that, he found himself
4:13
Speaker 1: in a little hot water. Of course, it was a consideration,
4:17
Speaker 1: j V. It was a consideration in Tampa, was consideration
4:20
Speaker 1: in Kansas City, and it wasn't a consideration for the
4:24
Speaker 1: top forty guys on the roster. But at the end,
4:27
Speaker 1: when you're trying to decide between guys, it wasn't the
4:31
Speaker 1: consideration they didn't cut or keep a guy because of it.
4:36
Speaker 1: But as he said, it's a punitive thing. When guys
4:40
Speaker 1: have to be out for ten days. You've got to
4:42
Speaker 1: figure out what your roster is. So, you know, I
4:44
Speaker 1: have no idea what the conversations were about individual individual players,
4:50
Speaker 1: But if anybody around the league who knows anything about
4:55
Speaker 1: the decision making can honestly say that coaches all around
4:58
Speaker 1: the league weren't discussing whether or not a guy might
5:01
Speaker 1: be available because they've just come off a training camper.
5:03
Speaker 1: They've had to deal with these protocols they had to
5:05
Speaker 1: do with guys being out when okay, for for ten days.
5:10
Speaker 1: Either this guy wasn't sick because of a close kind
5:13
Speaker 1: of because of a rule. Of course it was you know,
5:17
Speaker 1: of course it was a factor for people. It was
5:20
Speaker 1: blown up nationally and what shouldn't have been. You've seen
5:24
Speaker 1: quotes around the league where other executives throughout the course
5:28
Speaker 1: of the year have said it, so yes, yes, there
5:32
Speaker 1: you go. Let's move on now. The Jaguars today had
5:37
Speaker 1: a few people at the podium. George Warhop was one
5:39
Speaker 1: of those guys and said that the starting offensive line
5:43
Speaker 1: we'll be ready to go Week one, that's so what
5:46
Speaker 1: we've kind of heard over the last week or so,
5:49
Speaker 1: and that's good news up front, Bucky to have all
5:51
Speaker 1: five guys available and ready for Week one in Houston. Yeah,
5:55
Speaker 1: the most important part of the offense is the offensive line.
5:58
Speaker 1: It's the foundation of the house. As much as I
6:01
Speaker 1: can't wait to see Trevor Lawrence throw the ball all
6:03
Speaker 1: over the yard, also understand that he must be protected.
6:07
Speaker 1: And the best way you can protect him is one
6:10
Speaker 1: have a solid pass protection in front of him, and too,
6:13
Speaker 1: you have to be able to run the football. In
6:15
Speaker 1: the preseason, the Jaguars were inconsistent in both of those areas.
6:19
Speaker 1: So now with the number one offensive line fully back
6:22
Speaker 1: and together, man, you have to be optimistic that the
6:25
Speaker 1: opening day performance against the Texas is going to be
6:28
Speaker 1: up to the standard that we begin to expect in Jacksonville.
6:32
Speaker 1: It was interesting and every offensive line coach alay known
6:35
Speaker 1: has done this because it's true. They always pointed outsive
6:39
Speaker 1: line is part of the protection now JP uh huh,
6:41
Speaker 1: but running backs matter in that too, tight end getting
6:45
Speaker 1: rid of the ball. Warhop like every offensive line coach
6:49
Speaker 1: will do talked about the protection concept being a complete
6:54
Speaker 1: offense and you know, nothing bothers offensive line men more
6:58
Speaker 1: than when they read the offensive line gave up X
7:02
Speaker 1: number of sacks this season because they're all sitting there
7:05
Speaker 1: going what about those eight times the quarterback ran into pressure, John,
7:09
Speaker 1: I've heard that before in my career JP, so you
7:12
Speaker 1: know it was you hear this from offensive line coaches
7:16
Speaker 1: and they're exactly right, but it will never be perceived
7:19
Speaker 1: that way. But overall, Uh, I think it's critically important
7:24
Speaker 1: for this offensive line to be healthy going in. It
7:27
Speaker 1: is the most veteran, most tenured, cohesive part of the team.
7:33
Speaker 1: If you look at it, the years of experience on
7:35
Speaker 1: the offensive line dwarf everything else on the team in
7:40
Speaker 1: terms of any position group. Uh, and that's by design.
7:44
Speaker 1: They must protect Trevor Lawrence and keep the rookie quarterback healthy.
7:48
Speaker 1: That's the job one this year, even though it's a
7:50
Speaker 1: job one on everybody's job one. But it's yeah, but
7:54
Speaker 1: the offensive line, Buck, it starts with those guys. And
7:57
Speaker 1: you know they we sold the depth a little bit
8:01
Speaker 1: last week in the preseason Week three. Some of those
8:03
Speaker 1: guys had to go out there and play, and uh,
8:05
Speaker 1: you know Urban actually said, Hey, we were thinking about
8:08
Speaker 1: the day before, not even playing Trevor. He went out
8:10
Speaker 1: there and did it anyway, And and those guys played
8:13
Speaker 1: well in that last preseason game, and that's a good sign.
8:15
Speaker 1: Moving ahead, Yeah, it is a good sign. It's a
8:18
Speaker 1: great sign. Only one starter participating in the game against
8:22
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, but the offense looked terrific. Trevor Lawrence was protected,
8:26
Speaker 1: the ball was in and out of his hands very quickly.
8:29
Speaker 1: He got to the playmakers. They were able to run
8:30
Speaker 1: the football successfully. This is the offense that we were
8:34
Speaker 1: expecting to see from the Jaguards when Trevor Lawrence came
8:37
Speaker 1: on board. I think it would only continue to get
8:39
Speaker 1: better as this offensive line Bill's continuity, as the chemistry
8:44
Speaker 1: continues to connect, and as Uh Jail alluded to the
8:48
Speaker 1: running backs and all the auxiliary pieces that are part
8:51
Speaker 1: of the running game and pass protection. Again to Jail
8:55
Speaker 1: and understand exactly what everyone is supposed to do on
8:58
Speaker 1: every given play, right, guys, putting ahead on hundle up
9:01
Speaker 1: with Bucky Brooks were back in a moment. We'll get
9:03
Speaker 1: into the waiver claim of Jaguars made at wide receiver,
9:07
Speaker 1: and they've signed some players to the practice squad as well.

10:45
Speaker 1: more information, does advice r CEU dot org. That's concerned
10:53
Speaker 1: number one for me. You know, we got Dorset as
10:56
Speaker 1: danged right now. We brought in Devin Smith and he
10:58
Speaker 1: goes out there and makes it. That makes it catch
11:01
Speaker 1: that I told I haven't I haven't seen our guys
11:03
Speaker 1: make so. But he's also at two a c LS
11:06
Speaker 1: as an older player, but he gives you the top
11:09
Speaker 1: end of the he can knock the top off the covers. Uh,
11:12
Speaker 1: that's my that's my biggest concern. And also three running
11:15
Speaker 1: backs with the et M being out so were that's
11:20
Speaker 1: conversation as they continued Head coach Erman Meyer after the
11:24
Speaker 1: game Sunday in Dallas and welcome back This is Huddle
11:28
Speaker 1: Up with Bucky Brooks j P Shadrick john Os alongside
11:30
Speaker 1: as well. And this hour of Huddle Up with Bucky
11:34
Speaker 1: Brooks is brought to you by Fields Cadillac of Jacksonville
11:36
Speaker 1: and Fields Cadillac St. Augustine, members of the Fields Auto Group. Well,
11:42
Speaker 1: that said, the Jaguars have the number one priority and
11:45
Speaker 1: the claim order and waivers, and they used that last
11:50
Speaker 1: night and today, and they have picked up wide receiver
11:54
Speaker 1: Tyron Johnson off waivers from the Los Angeles Chargers, originally
11:58
Speaker 1: undrafted in twenty night sing out of Oklahoma State by
12:01
Speaker 1: the Texans a few different practice squads in twenty nineteen
12:05
Speaker 1: last season, week four was elevated back down the week
12:09
Speaker 1: after that, and then finished the season from week six
12:11
Speaker 1: forward on the regular roster in Los Angeles waiver claim
12:16
Speaker 1: And you see a stats there on the screen in
12:17
Speaker 1: front of you, nearly four hundred yards three touchdowns. But Bucky,
12:21
Speaker 1: it's all about speed with Tyron Johnson, they have to
12:28
Speaker 1: be faster on the perimeter right now. They have a
12:31
Speaker 1: lot of same speed guys, meaning possession receivers, guys that
12:34
Speaker 1: are chain movers, but they don't have any big play threats.
12:37
Speaker 1: And so when you're scowing the waiver wire, you're looking
12:40
Speaker 1: for something that's different than what you currently have. They
12:43
Speaker 1: want someone who can give them a vertical dimension in
12:45
Speaker 1: the passing game. Maybe Tyrond Johnson gonna be a guy
12:48
Speaker 1: that can help them right away. Yeah, I thought Bucky
12:50
Speaker 1: hit hit me on the head right there. Right now.
12:54
Speaker 1: You know the numbers thing that Irban Meyer talked about
12:57
Speaker 1: in the press, CONVERERENCEESTIONDA five receivers, three running concern about
13:00
Speaker 1: five receivers and about three running backs. So I think
13:02
Speaker 1: people and I probably fell into this too automatically assumed, well,
13:07
Speaker 1: they've got those numbers, so they're gonna go out and
13:10
Speaker 1: sign or claim waiver players to up those numbers. Well,
13:16
Speaker 1: now that they've gotten those guys through to them, they've
13:20
Speaker 1: got what seventeen wide receivers in the practice squad, now JP,
13:23
Speaker 1: what number was that, But they've got four or five
13:27
Speaker 1: and uh and uh and Chebucky's point, a lot of
13:30
Speaker 1: those guys are sort of the same kind of guy.
13:33
Speaker 1: They also have divine as Egbo and Nathan Cottrell at
13:38
Speaker 1: running back in the practice squad. Those guys be protected.
13:41
Speaker 1: The numbers issue that Meyer was concerned about yesterday has
13:45
Speaker 1: been solved. Now that those guys are through to the
13:47
Speaker 1: practice squad, they've got their depth there, I think they believe,
13:50
Speaker 1: so there's not that urgency to go out necessarily sign
13:53
Speaker 1: a player. I'm a little surprised that they weren't more
13:56
Speaker 1: active on the waiver wire, but they saw this, Tyron Johnson,
14:01
Speaker 1: who is Bucky said, gives them something they didn't have.
14:05
Speaker 1: I guess in our trick. I'm not surprised they didn't
14:06
Speaker 1: address defense because they kept so many guys that they
14:09
Speaker 1: clearly liked those guys for a reason, or else they
14:12
Speaker 1: wouldn't have kept them. So Uh, I don't say they're done,
14:16
Speaker 1: but I don't think there is worried maybe as they
14:19
Speaker 1: were yesterday when those guys were floating out there, and the
14:21
Speaker 1: the ability to move guys up and down off the squad,
14:24
Speaker 1: Bucky gives them some flexibility. Gives everybody in the league
14:27
Speaker 1: the flexibility another year. Yeah, just giving them the flexibility
14:31
Speaker 1: of another year. Also, the expanded practice squad size sixteen
14:36
Speaker 1: guys being able to be on the practice squad eventually
14:38
Speaker 1: being able to really stockpile the kind of talent that
14:41
Speaker 1: you want. Also, it's not a coincidence that a lot
14:44
Speaker 1: of the guys that are on the practice squad were
14:46
Speaker 1: in camp with the Jaguars, because what you would like
14:50
Speaker 1: is to have a bullpen full of players that know
14:53
Speaker 1: the system. They've gone through preseason. They understand those things,
14:56
Speaker 1: so it's minimal teaching and learning that needs to be
14:59
Speaker 1: done if they're elevated. This is all part of a
15:02
Speaker 1: bigger plan when it comes to the team building process,
15:05
Speaker 1: making sure you have enough I was gonna be parts
15:08
Speaker 1: to be able to step up at I'm almost noses
15:10
Speaker 1: whenever you need it. Cut down day JP is really
15:14
Speaker 1: it's lost some of the luster and and it doesn't
15:17
Speaker 1: have luster for players. I'm talking as fans and media
15:20
Speaker 1: who watch it and they're waiting for that cutdown day
15:23
Speaker 1: to come, and it means careers are gonna end. Some
15:26
Speaker 1: careers do end, and I'm not being incessantive intensitive that,
15:29
Speaker 1: but the reality is it's not a fifty three man
15:31
Speaker 1: roster in the NFL right now. It's about a sixty
15:34
Speaker 1: or sixty one man roster because of how many of
15:36
Speaker 1: the that you can protect. And it's really, as Urban
15:39
Speaker 1: alluded to yesterday, having those sixteen spots made those cuts
15:43
Speaker 1: a lot, a lot less difficult because now you've got
15:47
Speaker 1: about what sixty six sixty seven of the guys that
15:51
Speaker 1: you had before, so you still have your team those
15:54
Speaker 1: get Yesterday they said goodbye to about fifteen guys, not
16:01
Speaker 1: thirty seven like it used to be on that day
16:04
Speaker 1: the players named to the practice squad. Officially, thirteen players
16:08
Speaker 1: have been signed and they were either all waved or
16:11
Speaker 1: released by the Jaguars Tuesday. Philip Dorset, Devin Smith, Lakwan Treadwell,
16:15
Speaker 1: Jeff Cotton Jr. And Josh Hammond are the wide receivers.
16:18
Speaker 1: Defensive tackle Doug Coston, offensive lineman Casey McDermott, Trevor Wallace
16:22
Speaker 1: Sims and Badera Trey Or Those are the three linemen
16:26
Speaker 1: and running backs Devana Zigbo and Nathan ConTroll and Brandon
16:29
Speaker 1: Russknack defensive back cornerback Lorenzo Burns. And the team has
16:33
Speaker 1: waived Daniel Quality. So those are the moves today. Some
16:36
Speaker 1: notables bucky for former Jaguars claimed by other teams in
16:40
Speaker 1: the process. Quincy Williams is going to join his brother
16:43
Speaker 1: with the Jets. Colin Johnson's headed to the Giants. Ben Ellison,
16:47
Speaker 1: the tight end headed back home to Minnesota to play
16:50
Speaker 1: for the Vikings, and Jake Luton signed with Seattle. Four
16:53
Speaker 1: guys gone, Yeah, four guys gone. I think it may
16:57
Speaker 1: speak to the talent that was assembled in Backsonville. Colin Johnson.
17:01
Speaker 1: We have seen him have some moments in New York.
17:03
Speaker 1: Jazz certainly need more playmakers on the outside around Sae
17:06
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley and the young quarterback Daniel Jones. And then
17:09
Speaker 1: when you think about Quincy Williams going to the Jets,
17:11
Speaker 1: you would like to see some of those guys get
17:14
Speaker 1: signed because what it does is as a team builder,
17:17
Speaker 1: you've done a great job. If after cutting down day,
17:20
Speaker 1: teams are plucking up some of the guys that you
17:23
Speaker 1: have dismissed, it means that you did a great job
17:26
Speaker 1: of assembly. Get very competitive training camp. You have the
17:28
Speaker 1: right kind of guys not only in terms of look, height, weight,
17:32
Speaker 1: side speed, but also in playing ability that can make
17:36
Speaker 1: it in this league. I think it's a positive sign,
17:39
Speaker 1: even though those players are no longer on the Jacksonville
17:42
Speaker 1: Jaguars roster. Yes, on the Jacked Supporters podcast, I think
17:46
Speaker 1: Ben Elverson's gonna play a long time this league. UM.
17:49
Speaker 1: I kind of thought he would be one of the
17:51
Speaker 1: guys in the mix here. I don't know if it
17:56
Speaker 1: to me that's the one. I'm not say concerns and
17:59
Speaker 1: she's gon be a pro bowler, but I think that
18:02
Speaker 1: maybe one that you look back on in three or
18:04
Speaker 1: four years and say we had that guy was able
18:06
Speaker 1: to carve out a productive career. Um. But I understand
18:09
Speaker 1: why they had to do it because they've they've got
18:13
Speaker 1: numbers and special teams. It's such a big deal for
18:17
Speaker 1: them right now of how they want to build, and
18:19
Speaker 1: they really went heavy with special teams on defense in
18:23
Speaker 1: building this first fifty three. Al Right, guys, let's come
18:26
Speaker 1: back in a moment of social media question and then
18:28

Speaker 1: Drink Local Jacksonville. Find recipes and events at Jaguars Whiskey
20:33
Speaker 1: dot com. There was eight that we felt comfortable with.
20:42
Speaker 1: That was I think all eight will play in the NFL.
20:45
Speaker 1: So does our g M. So at our defensive coordinator
20:47
Speaker 1: and backfield coach. So what went in is obviously special
20:51
Speaker 1: team's value. Ray Sean Jenkins is playing at very high level.
20:55
Speaker 1: And then you just start, you know, DT was out
20:57
Speaker 1: for a while with COVID and then comes in and
20:59
Speaker 1: force us to bark catches and looks fast and lightning
21:02
Speaker 1: on the field and has some pretty good film. You know,
21:05
Speaker 1: Jared was a tough one, Jared Wilson. But I don't
21:07
Speaker 1: think that one's done. You know, we're still having conversations
21:10
Speaker 1: how to make that work, you know. But and then
21:12
Speaker 1: wing Gard had an excellent game on Sunday. Who else
21:17
Speaker 1: we have back there at Cisco. We feel really good
21:19
Speaker 1: about his future. And and Rudy, my gosh, he's been
21:25
Speaker 1: you know, we took him because our emphasis on special teams.
21:27
Speaker 1: He can play back, he can play back there. He's
21:30
Speaker 1: been playing. He started a dime and was a very
21:33
Speaker 1: good blitzer and all over the field. So we feel
21:36
Speaker 1: that we feel that's gone from a major concern in
21:39
Speaker 1: January two. We're pretty we're gonna be right. That's arband
21:43
Speaker 1: Meyer earlier this week after the cuts. They're keeping all
21:47
Speaker 1: the safeties, almost all the safety we want them all.
21:51
Speaker 1: I love the Buckey Brooks Day p Shadrick john Os
21:54
Speaker 1: are alongside. Yeah, almost all the safety is they're gonna
21:57
Speaker 1: keep him all wearing teal buck And look, that's a
22:01
Speaker 1: good thing. When you think about your special teams units,
22:04
Speaker 1: what you would like is to have linebackers and dbs
22:07
Speaker 1: comprise most of those units, particularly on coverage teams, because
22:10
Speaker 1: you want guys who are experienced tacklers. There are some
22:13
Speaker 1: coaches and it appears that Urban falls in line with this,
22:16
Speaker 1: that prefer they have defensive guys on cover teams because
22:19
Speaker 1: their experience when it comes to tackling, getting guys down,
22:23
Speaker 1: block destruction and those things. And so the safeties that
22:26
Speaker 1: the Jaguars had collected are not only guys that are experienced,
22:30
Speaker 1: but they have the size and the speed to be
22:32
Speaker 1: able to hold up as kickoff cover guys, punt hold
22:35
Speaker 1: up guys, and punt returners. That's why they are three
22:38
Speaker 1: phase players, and so that gives them an opportunity to
22:40
Speaker 1: make the team. You know, one interesting name in there
22:42
Speaker 1: that I think Jaguars fans are familiar with is Jared Wilson,
22:45
Speaker 1: who's obviously been here five years. Uh. He was not waived.
22:50
Speaker 1: He was released urban understandably. UH spoke very positively having
22:57
Speaker 1: yesterday and said, I'm not sure that one's over here yet.
23:01
Speaker 1: I tend to believe that. I also tend to believe.
23:04
Speaker 1: I wonder if Jared isn't sort of weighing other options
23:07
Speaker 1: around the league, uh, to see if he can be
23:10
Speaker 1: somewhere where he's not on the practice squad. UH. But
23:13
Speaker 1: we'll see. He's a good player. He would fit anywhere
23:17
Speaker 1: that you want to be because he can play all
23:20
Speaker 1: special teams. UH. So I would think that jag Wards
23:23
Speaker 1: would like to get him back if possible, and I think, yeah,
23:27
Speaker 1: I think you certainly want those guys back. But then
23:29
Speaker 1: what happens is once guys get to a certain age
23:33
Speaker 1: or a certain year in the league, then you kind
23:35
Speaker 1: of do, Okay, he can play special teams, but in
23:39
Speaker 1: a pence, can we play him in a game at
23:41
Speaker 1: a position. Because as much as we talk about special
23:44
Speaker 1: teams being a fact and that will help you get
23:46
Speaker 1: a jersey, if you get in a game and you
23:48
Speaker 1: have a special team or who is unable to play
23:50
Speaker 1: his position and there's something that happens, an injury or
23:53
Speaker 1: two to your front line guys, that guy has to
23:56
Speaker 1: be able to perform. He has to be able to
23:57
Speaker 1: perform at a level that's acceptable for the offensive defense.
24:01
Speaker 1: That might have been part of the consideration when it
24:03
Speaker 1: came to wilson Mere Like a alight, guys, let's get
24:06
Speaker 1: to a social media question today we had once submitted
24:10
Speaker 1: from at Mike Underscore Watkins. Most are projecting the Jags
24:15
Speaker 1: to win five or six games this season. I understand
24:18
Speaker 1: the huge jumping wins is unlikely in just one year. However,
24:21
Speaker 1: which position group or groups are considered bottom twenty in
24:25
Speaker 1: the NFL for a record like that to be the prediction.
24:29
Speaker 1: What do you think, Buck m Hm, which position groups
24:32
Speaker 1: are considered bottom twinning? I think I will phrase it
24:37
Speaker 1: better as which groups are question marks. I think the
24:40
Speaker 1: defensive backs will be considered question marks. On the bigger skill,
24:43
Speaker 1: so many young guys trying to play together, that could
24:46
Speaker 1: be an issue. I think there would still be some
24:49
Speaker 1: concerns about the offensive line despite the experience. What you
24:54
Speaker 1: saw in the preseason mad made some people just kind
24:57
Speaker 1: of worried. And then finally, I think the running back
25:00
Speaker 1: position has to steal be a bit of a concern
25:03
Speaker 1: because Travis Etzim was expected to have a huge role
25:06
Speaker 1: in some way, shape or form being a playmaker. You
25:09
Speaker 1: bring James Robinson back, you still don't know what you
25:11
Speaker 1: can get in. Carlos said, I think those three positions
25:15
Speaker 1: may have given some people pause when it comes to
25:17
Speaker 1: thinking about the big jump that the Jaguars would have
25:20
Speaker 1: to make to get to five or six wins. Well, JP,
25:23
Speaker 1: you know how I feel about most people projection questions,
25:28
Speaker 1: because the bottom line is most people projecting are not
25:34
Speaker 1: studying every aspect of the Jaguars roster for the question
25:39
Speaker 1: to sort of makes sense. I'm not criticizing the question,
25:43
Speaker 1: but most people who say, well was going five and
25:45
Speaker 1: twelve have not looked at the Jaguars offensive line said well,
25:48
Speaker 1: this is the reason why most people projecting five or
25:51
Speaker 1: six wins are projecting because they went one in fifteen
25:54
Speaker 1: last year and because quarterback it's a big jump, so
26:00
Speaker 1: you put them four or five wins more. Um. The
26:03
Speaker 1: reality is from a national point of view, from people
26:06
Speaker 1: who haven't studied this team, every position on this team
26:09
Speaker 1: is a question because everything is a projection at this point.
26:13
Speaker 1: I think the wide receivers are gonna be much better,
26:15
Speaker 1: but the wide receivers have to prove that statement to
26:18
Speaker 1: be a fact because d J. Charks had one Pro
26:20
Speaker 1: Bowl year. Beyond that, it's Marvin Jones who has been
26:23
Speaker 1: very good. Visc hasn't proven anything. We think he's going
26:27
Speaker 1: to be very very good. They have to come together.
26:29
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence think it would be very very good because
26:31
Speaker 1: you have to play an NFL game, Uh the running,
26:34
Speaker 1: you know, every position on the roster you can do
26:36
Speaker 1: that same thing. I think the defensive line looks a
26:38
Speaker 1: lot better. No Pro bowlers up there except for Josh Allen.
26:42
Speaker 1: For national people to look at and say yes, they're
26:45
Speaker 1: going to be good. So I see a lot of
26:48
Speaker 1: things about this team in JP. You you read the
26:51
Speaker 1: Ozone every day. See you read me reading that saying
26:54
Speaker 1: that every day. They are potentially a very good team.
26:58
Speaker 1: But there are many, many, many question marks. They had
27:01
Speaker 1: to prove itself out for any improvement to happen. That's
27:04
Speaker 1: why they're still being projected five and twelve. Most players
27:08
Speaker 1: on this team haven't proven anything yet their projections. I
27:11
Speaker 1: read the Ozone every day, but I stay out of
27:13
Speaker 1: the comments section. I'm not going that's a d D
27:17
Speaker 1: dark rabbit hole. I'm not doing what's a comment section?
27:19
Speaker 1: I don't know. Man, let's come back in a moment.
27:23
Speaker 1: We'll wrap things up. Getting ready for Week one and
27:26
Speaker 1: Bonus football and Jacksonville next week announced today by the league.

29:24
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks, J P. Shadrick and John Osher are along
29:27
Speaker 1: for the ride. As always, the strap in and hang on.
29:33
Speaker 1: What a ride it's been today. The Jaguars get the
29:37
Speaker 1: Houston Texans in Week one. Next week a one o'clock
29:39
Speaker 1: kickoff time at the NRG Stadium in Houston, and then
29:43
Speaker 1: at four five Eastern time here at t I A A.
29:47
Speaker 1: Bank Field. Now, the Green Bay Packers will face the
29:50
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints. The Saints had that as a home
29:53
Speaker 1: game at the super Dome, but with the conditions in
29:55
Speaker 1: New Orleans as they are, the league has decided to
29:58
Speaker 1: move that game and they've moved to the Jacksonville They've
30:02
Speaker 1: looked at a few different places. Apparently Bucky and everybody
30:06
Speaker 1: else is filled up. The Jags are away. They're gonna
30:09
Speaker 1: play here in Jacksonville. That's pretty neat. That's it's something
30:11
Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen that in Jacksonville before. We've
30:13
Speaker 1: seen in other places. I don't think we've seen it here. Now,
30:16
Speaker 1: that's a real random occurrence they have to do on
30:18
Speaker 1: the Saints playing at the Jaguars home stadium. But it's
30:21
Speaker 1: a great experience for everyone there because you get a
30:24
Speaker 1: chance to see different ball. That's one thing to go
30:26
Speaker 1: to the stadium and to see the Jaguars. It's another
30:28
Speaker 1: thing to see how another team doesn't. I'm sure they're
30:31
Speaker 1: gonna want to fill it up, so it should be
30:33
Speaker 1: an exciting time for fans to just check out football.
30:36
Speaker 1: Look if I was in Duvall, I'll be there. I'll
30:38
Speaker 1: check it out because I always loved to watch NFL games.
30:40
Speaker 1: You'll probably check it out. Right. Well, we'll be bucky
30:43
Speaker 1: you and I will be answering phone calls in about
30:45
Speaker 1: the second quarter of that game, UM in the postgame
30:48
Speaker 1: radio show, oh Man, double double double deckers. So what
30:52
Speaker 1: I do is I have the Saints game on one
30:55
Speaker 1: screen while I'm sitting It's like he even some of
30:58
Speaker 1: the other guys that are calling in after the Jaguars wins,
31:01
Speaker 1: you'd be a lot of fun about that. I like that.
31:03
Speaker 1: And then a hundred feet behind us, behind this wall,
31:06
Speaker 1: they'll be playing on the field right here, which is
31:08
Speaker 1: the oddest thing. Ever. But and I'll have no idea
31:10
Speaker 1: how any of it because you'll be on a plane
31:12
Speaker 1: at some point that night coming back home. So that's
31:14
Speaker 1: coming up next week. It feels like, well, the players
31:17
Speaker 1: are here on the field today, they're on the field tomorrow,
31:20
Speaker 1: and then they're on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and then they're
31:23
Speaker 1: back to work Monday, and and here we go. I
31:26
Speaker 1: don't think this week, Bucky is gonna just crawl by
31:28
Speaker 1: and then here we go. Next week is finally gonna
31:31
Speaker 1: be here. Yeah, next week is finally going to be here.
31:34
Speaker 1: But I think it's one of those things where you
31:36
Speaker 1: can get excited about what is to come because once
31:39
Speaker 1: the regular season kicks off, it is on and this
31:42
Speaker 1: weekend with college football kicking off, it is like a
31:45
Speaker 1: run off Saturday and Sundays of watching football all the time.
31:49
Speaker 1: Fun time for us absolutely is John's fired up to
31:54
Speaker 1: be here for you know it. Uh But this is
31:57
Speaker 1: you know the NFL, as you know, JB. You've been
32:01
Speaker 1: doing it seven, eight, nine years now. This is number ten, John,
32:05
Speaker 1: but or ten. But it is such a routine league
32:12
Speaker 1: because of the week to week nature of it, It's
32:15
Speaker 1: it's unique among sports like that um. So as a result,
32:19
Speaker 1: you get into routine. We've been doing it a while,
32:21
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, this is a new routine. This
32:23
Speaker 1: is the first time where that routine has changed. And
32:27
Speaker 1: it does create a huge low period between about last uh,
32:32
Speaker 1: you know, Sunday and next Monday or two day we
32:36
Speaker 1: really get going. But the benefit is asked Bucky on
32:38
Speaker 1: the top, I think it will be a very good
32:42
Speaker 1: thing for players who were switching teams in the future.
32:45
Speaker 1: That always seems like a weird thing to me, such
32:48
Speaker 1: chaos for a lot of players on Monday and Tuesday
32:51
Speaker 1: of that week switching teams. Now they'll be able to
32:54
Speaker 1: get to a new team, a new city, and be
32:57
Speaker 1: more acclimated. So I think it it'll be a positive
33:00
Speaker 1: in that sense, even if it does make this week
33:03
Speaker 1: drag a little bit for those of us observing and
33:05
Speaker 1: the minor injuries that guys might have, you know, a
33:08
Speaker 1: hamstring tweaked or something like that. You get an extra
33:11
Speaker 1: week off, Bucky, that I can maybe have some more
33:14
Speaker 1: guys available, like the offensive line for the Jaguars, Right,
33:16
Speaker 1: I mean that extra week is gonna come in handy. Yeah,
33:20
Speaker 1: nextually week will come in handy. If you think about
33:21
Speaker 1: it this way. JP has been a long grind for
33:25
Speaker 1: the players, and so you think about the off season program.
33:27
Speaker 1: You had a break, then you went to training camp.
33:29
Speaker 1: Training camp was fast and furious, you had three preseason games.
33:33
Speaker 1: This is actually a great time to reset. And with
33:36
Speaker 1: the Jaguars kind of being at the forefront of what
33:38
Speaker 1: we call sports performance and doing all those things. I
33:41
Speaker 1: can't wait to see how they try and utilize the
33:44
Speaker 1: time off to the advantage because rest, recovery, trying to
33:48
Speaker 1: make sure that the players are kind of peaking when
33:50
Speaker 1: the season starts. That has to be the priority. You
33:53
Speaker 1: want to get everybody in the game day feeling at
33:55
Speaker 1: their best. I think this week, this ten date off
33:58
Speaker 1: feared gives the Jaguars a chance us to do that. Bucky,
34:01
Speaker 1: great stuff. As always. We will catch you again next
34:04
Speaker 1: Wednesday when it's week one for real. Let's see you guys,
34:10
Speaker 1: all right, Bucky Brooks out of here, Dado Oser, Joe Fortunato,
34:13
Speaker 1: Brent Reaver, for our entire crew, I'm JP Shadrick. We'll
34:16
Speaker 1: catch you next time on a Wednesday. Huddle up with
34:19
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks
