There they are 52 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: in your screen. The eight names that have been linked 53 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: to the Jaguars. Bulls called well E, Refluce, Hackett left 54 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: with more Peterson and Quinn, and reports today that Dan 55 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: Quinn will not interview for the Jags. But as of 56 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: this morning, there you go. Sevens enough enough. Seven is good. 57 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: I'm fine with that, and uh I I like the list, 58 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: but I think we talked last week. I'm a calledwell guy. 59 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: I worked with him for ten years in Indy. Respect 60 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: everything he's about but that doesn't mean he's the only 61 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: good candidate. To me, it seems like there is a 62 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,920 Speaker 1: clear leadership angle here. I think all these guys, from 63 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: what I know of, you've probably know him better than 64 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: I do, uh qualify with The one thing that I 65 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: want is a leader of men. Uh, somebody who the 66 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: players can look at and respect and can set an 67 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: organizational tone uh professional football. All these guys have been 68 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: in the league and around the league a long time, 69 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: at least a decade, I think, uh if you count 70 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: the playing time of left which and and uh more. 71 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, so I I like the list. Anything stand 72 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: out for you, But yeah, there are a couple of 73 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: interesting names on the list. Um. Look, I'm on record 74 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: saying that I believe this is one that you have 75 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: to think about someone who has done the job before, 76 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: because this is gonna be a tough to have on 77 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: the job training with the depth of the rebuild, like 78 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: where you have to board the Jaguars out of particularly 79 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: to the last episode with quire Uh, Jim Will certainly 80 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 1: is a candidate that feels to build. Uh. Everything you 81 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: hear about him is outstanding in terms of like how 82 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: he is with players, how he is with people around 83 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: the building, his plans and the success that he's had. Uh. 84 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: Peterson is another one that is a good one Super 85 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: Bowl winner, a guy who certainly understands how to put 86 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: the program together, I think. But then you also have 87 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: to kind of try and see if you can connect 88 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: the dots, because if Trent Ballki is going to continue 89 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: as a general manager, what is the working relationship going 90 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,559 Speaker 1: to be like with some of these guys. Ty Bowls 91 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: might be name that you want to keep in mind. 92 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: Todd Bowls is a Bill Parcels disciple. Um when you 93 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: think about Barky, Barky has a relationship a tight relationship 94 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: with Bill Parcels as well. So maybe they see football 95 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: through the same UH vision and viewpoint. So that could 96 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: be something that naturally Byron left, which being a Jaguar 97 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: who understands the culture that's been around the Jaguars, has 98 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: been in the building, has played on that field, players 99 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: will certainly be able to relate UH to him. And 100 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: so I think it's a very very good list, and 101 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: you know, we just kind of see what it worked, 102 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: what it looks like after the first set of interviews 103 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: and after the Jaguars determined what is it that they 104 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: want in the next head coach. How do they want 105 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 1: to kind of build this out for the next era 106 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 1: of Jaguars football? And I j P. I think I can. 107 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: I can speak for you on this too. I feel 108 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: like I know Nate Hacket very well. The green bath 109 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,799 Speaker 1: is a coordinator from his time here. I feel fortunate 110 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: that I was able to get to know Nate very 111 00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: well in two thousand seventeen a little bit in eighteen. Uh, 112 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: he was sort of the one who came up late 113 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: like yesterday as the last guy on this list. But 114 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: I don't want to give him a short shrift. I 115 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 1: think he'd be an outstanding head coach. I think at 116 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: some point he's gonna get a job and do a 117 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: great job. He's a life for a few will His 118 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: father was Paul Hackett. Uh, Nate knows football as well 119 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: as anybody, and knows people as well as anybody on 120 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: this list. I can say that, So, uh, no problem 121 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: with Nate on that list either. How can I ask 122 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: can because I don't. I don't know Nate as well, 123 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: but I do know his dad. I played for his 124 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: dad in Kansas City and his dad, um, it was 125 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: a life for his dad was up on the Morty 126 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: Shottenhammer when I played for the Kansas City Chiefs. So 127 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: his dad certainly knows how to coach and lead a program. 128 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: And I know Nate was there obviously during the twenties 129 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: seventeen season, the last time the Jaguars were really prominent. UM, 130 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 1: give me a little more because I've seen him. I 131 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: was around him at Syracuse when uh he was with 132 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: Doug Moron and Dohos guys. But how is because you 133 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: talked about his preparedness, I just haven't been around him 134 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: enough to really speak on how good he would be 135 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: as a leader in that building, a place where he's 136 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: been before. I ain't pretty good as a leader. He 137 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: I'm not sure what the word is. He gets it 138 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: from talking to him on the side about football, uh, 139 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,720 Speaker 1: when he was here, and he understands how the building works, 140 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: and he understands, uh that part of it. Would he 141 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: relate to defensive players? I guess I don't have anything 142 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: tangible on that, JP, It's just my sense. I've been 143 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: around a lot of coaches over seven years doing this, 144 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: and he just feels to me like a guy that 145 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: can relate to players. Yeah, a straight shooter. Uh, you know, 146 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: he Uh, I just know that two thousands seventeen, they 147 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: were not the most talented offense, ended up six in 148 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,080 Speaker 1: the league in total offense. You know, people think of 149 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: that team is at as all defensive team. Uh. He 150 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: squeezed a lot out of Blake Bortles and a lot 151 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: out of the ability to get the most out of 152 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: that offense. And I never talked to any players who 153 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: didn't have a great deal of respect for him. I 154 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: guess being a coordinator, I don't have that much tangible 155 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: as far as leadership. It's more of a sense that 156 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: I think he would do a good job with it. 157 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: Didn't switch up kind of as the year went along. 158 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: He ran the ball out early in the season, and 159 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: then once late in November December came around. That's when 160 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: Blake got hot, and they kind of followed that trend. Yeah, 161 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: very much. I mean I respected me a great deals 162 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 1: and next as a nose guy, and I saw nothing 163 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: to make me think he couldn't handle the leadership role. Uh. 164 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm cloud because I like the guy a lot, 165 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: but I sensed that out of him and that he'll 166 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 1: be able to do it. Yeah, here's what I know. 167 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 1: My experience with him was watching the work that he 168 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: did with Ryan Nassa at Syracuse when Doug Moron was there, 169 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: and I would say that Ryan Nassa, uh corterbad prospect, 170 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: was eventually drafted maybe by the Giants in the fourth round. 171 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: Wasn't necessarily the most talented, but they were. They found 172 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: a way to generate a lot of offense, and it 173 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: was very creative. It was a lot of smoke and 174 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: mirrors things that they did to maybe make him play 175 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: the level that wasn't his level. And so the reason 176 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: why that kind of stands out to me is when 177 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: you think about Trevor Lawrence been a young quarterback in 178 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: the system that Trevor Lawrence played in at Clemson, I 179 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: believe Hackett is not too far removed from the college 180 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 1: game to incorporate some of those concepts and ideas to 181 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: have Trevor Lawrence get going, because let's be honest, it 182 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: is about getting the young quarterback going while also building 183 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: get around it, and so there needs to be some 184 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: of that creativity available to be able to help the 185 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: young quarterback get going and bring about the other pieces 186 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 1: of the offense. So his name is an interesting name, 187 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: even though I can't personally vouch for him, having not 188 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: been in the building with him. Yeah, a lot of 189 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: the conversations I had with Nate and get anything. Await, 190 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 1: it's been four years. You know, we're about getting the 191 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: most out of these guys. Uh. I think he he 192 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: knew what Blake wasn't wasn't as a quarterback. I mean 193 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: most people did by then. Um, he was able to 194 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: get an awful lot out of that offense, a lot, 195 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: awful lot out of what Blake could and couldn't do. 196 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: And the same with a lot of the players. Um. 197 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,599 Speaker 1: You know, for Nette was here as a rookie, and 198 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 1: I just recall him talking a lot about um being 199 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: able to use what those players couldn't couldn't do to 200 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: their advantage and within the framework of the way Doug 201 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 1: wanted games called, which they didn't want I mean, Doug 202 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 1: didn't want to at that point Blake throwing the ball 203 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,599 Speaker 1: over the field. Uh, you know, they wanted to be 204 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: able to control within the system of what the Jaguars 205 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: were doing defensively. Well, yeah, I mean it was within 206 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: a tricky circumstance. I thought Nate got a lot out 207 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 1: of that team that year, and then it all kind 208 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: of blew up next year, and frankly I thought Nate 209 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: and ever thought Nate should have been fired. I Uh, 210 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: I didn't think that anything going on that year. It 211 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 1: felt a little bit like they had to make some 212 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: change and Nate kind of drew the short straw, and uh, 213 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: you know, I was sorry to see him go at 214 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: the time. I'd love to see him back. Can I 215 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: mention one other guy because I didn't get a chance. Uh, 216 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 1: Matt eberflis from the Indianapolis Colts. What I would tell 217 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: you is, in watching his work and watching his work 218 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: over the years, one thing that I can respect about 219 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: him and what I know about people that have been 220 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: around him, He has a way of being able to 221 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 1: get his teams to play really, really hard, and because 222 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: he is into division, there's a level of familiarity that 223 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: might give him an edge over some of the others 224 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: when it comes to building out the Jaguars. I will 225 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 1: say that he has a Rod mary Nelli disciple. And 226 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 1: if you've been around Rob mary Nelli, Rob marrion nellis 227 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 1: a guy who has no nonsense when it comes to 228 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: high standards. High demands high levels of accountability and commitment 229 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: from the players, and in turn, they respond with a 230 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,719 Speaker 1: player driven culture that performs at a high level. Just 231 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: keep an eye on him because there are a lot 232 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: of good things that people say about him and the 233 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 1: work that they've done in Indianapolis when he took on 234 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: a job where he's working with Frank greg who wasn't 235 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: a guy that hired him to be the defensive coordinator. 236 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: But yet this team has played really well with those 237 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: guys in leadership positions. Guys will come back in a 238 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: moment and take a look at the latest additions to 239 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: the Reserve COVID Night Team list. A few more names 240 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,239 Speaker 1: added this morning and a few more names added this afternoon. 241 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 1: For the Jaguars who are out of the building working today. 242 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 1: Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks is brought to you by 243 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: the Fields Cadillac of Jacksonville and Fields Cadillac St. Augustine, 244 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: members of the Fields Auto Group. Let's just huddle up 245 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network right now. 246 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: We're still working through um a time of the COVID 247 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: stuff that we got that have going on here. We 248 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: added a couple more guys today and um, you know, 249 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: we're still with the main focus right now is just 250 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: is being able to field the team, get to get 251 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: these guys out on the field, and um, you know, 252 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: we'll have to see later in the week how the 253 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: how the new ruling is gonna be able to affect us. 254 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: That's Darryl Bevil earlier today and welcome back and tuddle 255 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: up with Bucky Brooks, J P. Shadrick and John Oser. Yes, John, 256 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 1: I'm not sure I've ever heard and I'm not trying 257 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: to overplay this doing this over two and a half decades, 258 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: I'm not sure I've ever heard of a real or 259 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 1: press conference. Darlevelgade was there and that puts your antenna's up. Yeah, 260 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 1: that was real and what wasn't necessarily entertaining. Most people 261 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: won't notice it, but it's real. I don't think he 262 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: has any I mean, I don't think he has any 263 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 1: idea what the team's gonna look like. And they're not 264 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: sure what to do. They added They added two to 265 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen list this morning, one on the active list, 266 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 1: one on the practice squad list, and then added some 267 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: more this afternoon, so five total to day, So twenty 268 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: five total players combined between the active roster, practice squad, 269 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: and injured reserve are now on the COVID nineteen lists 270 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: associated with them, they're on your screen. There many of 271 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: these guys I think can come off right. Yeah, and 272 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: if they, if they, if they swabbed and were negative 273 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: or positive over the weekend like Saturday Sunday, then that 274 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: that clock kind of starts. Then. Now because of the 275 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: new rule change, you might see some of these guys. 276 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: You might see some of these guys coming back, but 277 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: you might not if there are symptoms. Bucky, who knows 278 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: who's gonna be out there and ready? And this is 279 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: an incredible challenge for a Jaguars interim coach and staff 280 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: trying to put things together because otherwise Bucky I thought 281 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: they had him this week. If it an for COVID, 282 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: I thought, yeah, if not for this, I mean like it. 283 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: It looks just as big of a challenge for the Patriots, 284 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: not knowing who is going to run out the tunnel 285 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: and do those things. They gotta figure out who those 286 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: new numbers are that could be running around. Let me 287 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: say this though about Bevil. Look, he is in a 288 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: tough spot and he's been a tough spot for the 289 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: second year in a row. He took over Man Patrician 290 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: Detroit he now takes over for coach Meyer in Jacksonville. 291 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: In the situation certainly hasn't been perfect. Obviously it's not perfect. 292 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: That's why he's been elevated to the position. But I 293 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: think it's refreshing to have someone who has a level 294 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: of professionalism to the job that you can respect. And 295 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: I don't know where he goes from him, but I 296 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: certainly think that he will earn a level of respect 297 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 1: from his peers around the league because this is not 298 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 1: an imvitable situation and for him to try and get 299 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 1: the team to not only play and play hard, but 300 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: to maybe figure out a way to play well. If 301 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: he's able to get them to have some semblance of 302 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 1: success on Sunday Man, he deserves to standing ovation because 303 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: I don't know how anybody can get a team ready 304 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: to play in these circumstances that the Jacks are currently 305 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: dealing with. This would rank JP with Again I'm not 306 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: hyperbole guy, but be one of the biggest episodes in 307 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: the last decade decade. Now, I mean, maybe ever if 308 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: this Jaguars team, it would have been huge anyway, But 309 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: this Jaguars team with the COVID nineteen playing motivated Patriots 310 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: team in Fox. I mean, come on, it's a yeah, 311 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: you never say never in the NFL, but you can 312 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: say never. But they're off the street and practice squads today, 313 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: like it's that will probably have to play if if 314 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: some of these guys aren't available. It speaks overall, Bucky, 315 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: and you have a better perspective on this than I do. 316 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: I cover the Jaguars, I mean it all the time. 317 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: I watched a few games on TV other than that, 318 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: But I guess we're just being immersed locally into a 319 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: story that's been going on, uh in the last couple 320 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: of weeks, and I think the NFL is just scrambling 321 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: and sort of limping to the finish here. I don't 322 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: particularly blame them, is I'm not sure how else you 323 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: do it. You've got to get the season in there, 324 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: trying to get it done. But it's as it, this 325 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: feels more chaotic and loose by definition than than the 326 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: end of last season. Wise, I don't know if you 327 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 1: feel that too, Bucky. Yeah, I feel it because it's 328 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 1: a different set of circumstances. Like last year we felt 329 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 1: like that okay, we're able to get control of it. Um, 330 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 1: you had a level of understanding on how it's gonna go. 331 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,959 Speaker 1: And then the way the season started, it was as 332 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: if like, hey, we're back, Fans are back in the stands, 333 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: teams are going, yeah, we have some of these protocols, 334 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: but it wasn't that big of a deal. And then 335 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: in the middle of the season and explosion of outbreaks 336 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: and cases and these things here and so now everyone 337 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 1: is is scrambling, and what it is doing it is 338 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: not only testing your ability to get your frontline players 339 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: ready to play, but it's testing how have you built 340 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: the team in terms of managing the practice squad, how 341 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: have you prepared your young players who made out of 342 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 1: play But are you still getting them ready to play? 343 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: Because we come to the end of the year, you're 344 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 1: young guys. Are those the heralded guys that were kind 345 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: of dismissed earlier this season, They're now the ones that 346 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 1: you're counting on to win games. And it's not only 347 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, but it's for some of these playoff teams. 348 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 1: They need to win games and they're counting on guys 349 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: who I mean, they may have been in the building 350 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: for two weeks. It is unlike anything that I've seen. 351 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 1: And it's even a bigger challenge than it was last 352 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: year because of the way that it exploded in the 353 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: middle of this season. The Saints on Monday Night had 354 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: a tackle and not played since who got in the 355 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: game in the fourth quarter. It has a slight parallel 356 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 1: to the eighties seven replacement games. Not I get it's different, 357 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: but I remember I was a fan that year, my 358 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: last year of college, so I'm old, but it, uh, 359 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: you know, there were teams that had some players, teams 360 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: that didn't have some players. Uh, the Washington football team 361 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: was the only team that didn't have anybody cross. You know. 362 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: It's different. I get that, But the last week of 363 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: that strike season had that same field where you know, 364 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,680 Speaker 1: is that Fame game where the Cowboys and the Washington 365 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: football team play. The washingtontball team beat them, and they 366 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: had replacement players coming across, but it was chaos. Um, 367 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 1: this feels a lot like that, And it's uh, yeah, 368 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if the quality of plays that great, 369 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: but it's gonna be interesting. Yeah, it's it's on television. 370 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: Will be interesting, you know. I think Bucky made the 371 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: point that year the Joe Gibbs team wound up winning 372 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 1: it all partially because they handled the strikes so well, um, 373 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: because they had three games that they won because of 374 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: that and got home field whatever. These last few weeks. 375 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: You get the idea that organizations that handle it well 376 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: and then the jag Wars it won't matter because they're 377 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: out of it. But the organizations that handle it well 378 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 1: at the top, they could benefit from circumstances that hurt 379 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: teams that aren't prepared. So it's my two cents. They uh, 380 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 1: let's take the time out. We'll come back and take 381 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: a look at the New England Patriots. Speaking of well 382 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: run organizations there, they've done some things pretty well over 383 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,440 Speaker 1: the years. This is huddle Up with Lucky Brooks on 384 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: the Jaguars Digital Network. It had some challenges for sure. Obviously, 385 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: if you'd rather have everybody together, it makes things easier. 386 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: You get more time with your guys and to be 387 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 1: together and to talk about different things and to go 388 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: over the game plan. But um, everyone's kind of going 389 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: through similar things, maybe not at the same time, but 390 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 1: through this whole season, everyone's kind of been faced with 391 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 1: the same challenges. So, um, just managing that obviously be immature, 392 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 1: um handling it, but the way you're supposed to handle 393 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: it and um, take care of your business and just 394 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: counting on everybody to do that. Obviously it's hard when 395 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: if you lose a lot of guys and you're not 396 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: sure who's going to be back for game day. That 397 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: that is more challenging, i'd say, than than the zoom 398 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 1: aspect of it. So we're working through that right now. 399 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,719 Speaker 1: You know, today we did as much as we could. Um, 400 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: had a good had a good mental day, moved around 401 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 1: a little bit, um and just trying to get whoever 402 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,879 Speaker 1: whoever can play, all all those guys ready and had 403 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: a good start today as Trevor Lawrence to day of 404 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: course and welcome back and suddled up with Bucky Brooks, 405 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 1: j P, Shadrick, John Osier, the Jaguars face of New 406 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: England Patriots this coming Sunday, it's on the schedule. The 407 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 1: Jaguars have twenty five players on the reserve COVID nineteen list. 408 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is not one of those. He spoke with 409 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: the media today. One more of those pre game next 410 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: week and then all of a sudden the season's over. John, Um, 411 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: you're deep in thought here, Well what's wrong? Can you imagine? 412 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: And I say this with I have an incredible respect 413 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: for Trevor Lawrence at twenty two years old what he 414 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,399 Speaker 1: has handled this year. But can you imagine every once 415 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 1: in a while when he gets in the car on 416 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: the way home, what he must think in terms of 417 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: what he's going through right now. He's been asked to 418 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: be the spokesman the organization at twenty two years old, 419 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: which I get that he's the number one pick, but 420 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: he's still a kid. And haven't you put in the 421 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 1: responsibility if you must be the spokesman, must handle it 422 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,360 Speaker 1: all with maturity. He went through the urban stuff, he's 423 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: going through his rookie year, and now COVID is exploding 424 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: around him. He's got to speak to that. At some 425 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: point he was walking the door of Marissa and just 426 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 1: put his head on the shoulder and just cry. I 427 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 1: mean I would, And again I'm tryna be funny with that, 428 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: but Bucky, credit this kid for how he has handled 429 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: and continues to handle. Is it unprecedented, I don't know, 430 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: but it's got to be up there in the rushmoores 431 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: of weird rookie seasons. Oh absolutely. And that's why I 432 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: think we have to ignore the outside noise from those 433 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: who are taking shots at Trevor Lawrence about his rookie season, 434 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 1: like his one thing, if just two issues, if he 435 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: was just focusing on ball and having to do all that, 436 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: and then the numbers came in as they were. But 437 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,719 Speaker 1: I mean he has had to deal with a circus 438 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 1: act for most of the season. I mean, the guy 439 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 1: is twenty two years old, he's the number one overall pick. 440 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 1: He doesn't really get named the starter until the middle 441 00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: of of training camp. I mean really the second or 442 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: third preseason game he gets that, and then three weeks 443 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 1: later he's having to kind of answer an address for 444 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: circumstances that aren't within his control. And then you have this, 445 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 1: you have him taking over as the leader, you have 446 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: his coach being fired. He takes over, and he has 447 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: all the other stuff swirling around the organization, and he's 448 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 1: expected to play at a high level. It's one thing 449 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: to be an NFL play. We all can deal with distractions, 450 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: but what he has been tasked with it is unprecedented. 451 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: I mean, he he can't even get to the ball 452 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: part of it because he's dealing with all the stuff 453 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 1: that happens away from the field. I'll just be happy 454 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: if next year Trevor Lawrence is just able to focus 455 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: on football and just being able to throw the ball 456 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 1: from point A to point B on a spiral, on 457 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: on time and on target. That's what I hope for 458 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 1: him because this year he is not supposed to handle 459 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: all the stuff that he has on this play. You 460 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: have the new coach and he's telling j Vegan, goest sleep. 461 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: When you wake up in a couple of months, we'll 462 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: talk just I mean, I remember Bissally. I'm sure you've 463 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: heard this story from Tony talking about his last day 464 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:18,639 Speaker 1: the day after the last rookie game in his his 465 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:23,120 Speaker 1: his uh his rookie season, he said all he wanted 466 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: to do was get away from football, get away from Tom, 467 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 1: get away from everything. Wasn't Tom, but it was just 468 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: that it had been so much well but silly didn't 469 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: go through anything and compared to this game. So that's 470 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: the spirit of a lot of a lot of players 471 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: have that at the end of a lot of seasons. 472 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: But for Trevor, just get away, relax, you're fine, come back. 473 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 1: We'll talk football when you come back and your ready. 474 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: That leads us into a polar opposite situation for a 475 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback. And that rookie quarterback is mac Jones in 476 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: New England. They've got the parts around him, They've got, 477 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 1: of course, an established coaching staff. Um, they've got everything 478 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: kind of going the right way around mac Jones, and 479 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 1: his production is really been strong because of that, Bucky. 480 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: You see the numbers there on your screen. Six passing, 481 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: some touchdowns, twelve interceptions, but you know there's been moments 482 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: where he's really stood out and played well. What do 483 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: you think of mac jones rookie season and it is 484 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 1: the sixth I think it's the success of the group 485 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: around him that kind of he doesn't have to do 486 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 1: it all by himself. Yeah. I think when you look 487 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: at Trevor Lawrence and mac Jones, I think it's the 488 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,959 Speaker 1: nature versus nurture debate. Uh, the natural talent the guy 489 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: is the more talented guy is Trevor Lawrence, but the 490 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: environment around him is not allowed him to really flourish. 491 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 1: Mac Jones, meanwhile, is in a perfect environment in terms 492 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: of he has a great coach, he has a great 493 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: coaching staff, he has an organization that has stability. Uh, 494 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,639 Speaker 1: the pieces around him have handled the responsibility of playing 495 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: well and making it very very light on him. Mean, 496 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: he's been asked to really manage the game, and there's 497 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: nothing wrong with being a game manager, particularly when your 498 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: team wins games. And this is how the Patriots have 499 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: operated for years. Uh. To thing about mac Jones is 500 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,479 Speaker 1: in the last couple of weeks as we get closer 501 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: to the postseason, what great teams do is they forced 502 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: teams to play left handed. And what teams are being 503 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 1: able to do is they've been able to take away 504 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: the running game at times. Uh, they've been able to 505 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 1: attack the defense, and they put it on mac Jones 506 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: to have to play quarterback and he hasn't been able 507 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: to do it at a high level. And so some 508 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 1: of that might be mac Jones hidden the rooky wall 509 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 1: because this is a marathon, it's a long season. And 510 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: another part of that is, hey man, this is where 511 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: he is and he doesn't have the superpowers to play 512 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: the game on his own a court where he has 513 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 1: to improvise and do some of those other things that 514 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: some of the elite quarterbacks are able to do with 515 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,400 Speaker 1: their talent. And so it'll be interesting to see which 516 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: Matt mac Jones shows up against the Jaguars on Sunday. Yeah, 517 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: that was what I was going ask Bucky as a 518 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: matter of fact, was the last couple of games, Uh, 519 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: a little bit down to earth and that you would 520 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,920 Speaker 1: expect that considering that he is not an above the 521 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: excess and his quarterback this year. Uh, it would be 522 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 1: fascinating to me to see how not this week. I 523 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: think we find this week is I'm not sure that 524 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: jam Was hanything to fool him with. But as the 525 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: playoffs go on, does he make plays by the X 526 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:27,919 Speaker 1: and os or do you see more of the fourteen 527 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,959 Speaker 1: and thirty two zero touchdowns, two interceptions. I don't think 528 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: he's that guy. But where is he going to be 529 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 1: in the middle of it? Um? He has really benefited 530 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: from being in an outstanding organization this year. Sure they 531 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: can run the ball, they got all all kind of 532 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,200 Speaker 1: stuff going on for them. Yeah. No, it'd be interesting 533 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:45,879 Speaker 1: because if I'm a Jack Was, I'm a Joe Cohen, 534 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 1: I'll throw everything at him. I come at him with everything, 535 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: Because the easiest way to get young guys like the 536 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: guys that he's going to be tasked with the play 537 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: is man, you might as well doutlook blisses and make 538 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: it very very simple in the back end, Hey, man, 539 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna play cat defense. You've got that cat run 540 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: with that guy all over the field. We're gonna bring 541 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: fresh and bliss and we're gonna see if Mac Jones 542 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 1: can hold up, uh, trying to do something else where. 543 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,040 Speaker 1: You're gonna fool them with zones and disguise and all 544 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: that other stuff. You're playing into his hands. I think 545 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 1: you gotta be aggressive and come after him because look, 546 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 1: no one expects that Jaguars to win and keep this 547 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: game close anyway, so you might as well take your shot. 548 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 1: I mean, you may knock him out so he was 549 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 1: available for the Jaguars. Also, that could change who knows 550 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: what and win on both sides of the football. The 551 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: Sunday little too early to tell on that. On this Wednesday, 552 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 1: Let's come back. Hey, final thoughts straight ahead, and I 553 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 1: know there are many. John has some thoughts, Bucky certainly does. 554 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 1: I'm out of thoughts. This is Jaguars, Uh, this is 555 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks on the Jaguars Digital Network. 556 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: We're back final moments of Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks JP, Shadrick, 557 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,560 Speaker 1: John Ohs. You're the Jaguars in the New England Patriots 558 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: coming up in Gillette State, even Foxborough, a place the 559 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: Jaguars have never won. Bucky, they'll try to snap that 560 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: skid this week. Yeah, I got bad memories up there. 561 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: Last time I played us there was the NFC Championship 562 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: game when we went up there and it was fridging 563 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: and cold, and we had a couple of turnovers that 564 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: costs US a shot at that uh super Bowl Smith, 565 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: So I would love for us. Yeah, oldis Smith picking 566 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: one off and going back, we blew a couple of 567 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: reds on opportunities. I think Tom might have swiped the 568 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: play card from your bron and take over and cost 569 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: plays and all that other stuff. So you know, you know, 570 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: it's so silly about that, like, oh shoo. I don't 571 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,360 Speaker 1: know if you ever got perspective on that. But that 572 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,800 Speaker 1: was a day in which, uh, class Simmons and the 573 00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,959 Speaker 1: guys were like, hey man, we're gonna show them how 574 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: tough we are. Today's a no sleeves day. We're gonna 575 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,440 Speaker 1: go out there and play with no sleeves. And so 576 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: my silly self goes out there with no sleeves trying 577 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: to return to kick, and I would tell you I 578 00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: have never been more distracted in the game. The only 579 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: thing I thought about for the first half was how 580 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: I can either sit on the hot bench, stand beside 581 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: the heater, or put on the big jacket. That is 582 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: the only thing I thought about for about thirty minutes. 583 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: And then at half time I put on appropriate gear 584 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: and I actually felt like I could concentrate on the game. 585 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 1: But priord of that, I was not concentrating on veteran leadership. 586 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:28,240 Speaker 1: Let you down, Wow, tough, Bucky over here, piece smart, 587 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: don't let equipment beat you. That's what I will love. 588 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: Be dressed warmly. Don't out of the number of things 589 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: you'll worry about this weekend, Bucky, don't worry about me 590 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: not being warm. And I I mean, I think I 591 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: saw you a little bit in New York. You look 592 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: like you were appropriately attired. I expect you to be 593 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: fully equipped for this one because that uh that cold 594 00:30:54,480 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 1: and Foxburgh is a little different. Yeah, yeah, no doubt JP. Yeah, 595 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be um not crazy cold. Though 596 00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: it's rainy. I think I think the chance yea Sunday 597 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: fifty two rain the next day, that kind of it 598 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 1: gets a little colder. I'll be honest with rain in 599 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:21,000 Speaker 1: theemic conditions. That's not really for me. I'm a degree sunny. 600 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: You live in Los Angeles, now, that's why I am. 601 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: But even in Jacksonville, like, hey, I like it. I 602 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: like it. I like it nice and warm and hot. 603 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,240 Speaker 1: I'd rather deal with that than the other stuff. I 604 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: want ball to be played where it's not. It's not 605 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: um something that is holding us back from being able 606 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: to maximize our potential. So no, no cold weather games 607 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: for me. They're gonna play some ball this week. J 608 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: they are, they are China. They're gonna tee it up 609 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: one o'clock Sunday and Bucky will talk to you a 610 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 1: little later in the week.
