00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: are you?

19
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 4: What's up? Guys? How are we doing? How's everything?

20
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: It's going as good as can be expected after a

21
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 2: beat down like that in Detroit in Motown in week

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: eleven fifty two to six, there were all those reports

23
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: pregame Bucky and then it's been quiet after the fact,

24
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 2: and it's now just moving forward and trying to patch

25
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: things up here in the bye week and then get

26
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: to the stretch run. That's you know, it's a disappointing

27
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: end to the pre bye week schedule.

28
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 3: I'll say it that way.

29
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 4: That's for sure, Yes, the disappointing end.

30
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 5: And I feel like the report that came out probably

31
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 5: set everybody up to look for something to happen Sunday night, Monday,

32
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 5: even early Tuesday.

33
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 4: And you haven't seen anything happen.

34
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 5: And as distracting as it's been for fans and observers,

35
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 5: imagine the distraction that it's been for not only the players,

36
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 5: but what about the coaches, what about the people in

37
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 5: the building. You always know whenever you are in the

38
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 5: middle of a losing streak and you haven't had a

39
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,839
Speaker 5: success that the team hasn't had in the last year,

40
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 5: you always know that things are going to come up.

41
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 5: But I would say just the volatile nature of the

42
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 5: report led you to believe something, and I think it

43
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 5: has had a negative impact on the team. Now that

44
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 5: doesn't excuse the performance that we saw on Sunday, but

45
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 5: you certainly feel like there's a black cloud hanging over

46
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 5: the team, and at some point you were like a

47
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 5: resolution one way or the other.

48
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I guess I'm not shocked that nothing has happened,

49
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 6: because you're never he's've been doing this long enough to

50
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 6: never be shocked when the issue, when the question has changed,

51
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 6: when the question is what is an owner going to

52
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 6: or not? Do you just don't know because owners don't

53
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 6: usually talk.

54
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 7: About it a whole lot.

55
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 6: I think it would defy logic if if Shod wasn't

56
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 6: thinking about things. But what that means in terms of action,

57
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 6: h JP, You and I have been doing this together

58
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 6: for a long time. Yes, And I say with ownership changes,

59
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 6: don't think that you know what's going to happen because

60
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 6: it's up to one person.

61
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 7: That's so it leads to speculation stuff.

62
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 6: And then you know, there's no board, there's no you know. Uh,

63
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 6: it's not an election, it's what Shod decides.

64
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 7: Uh.

65
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 6: Timing details, action, Uh, we just don't know.

66
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: So Monday went along as scheduled, locker room was open

67
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: to the media, and then in the afternoon head coach

68
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: Doug Peterson visiting with the media. No changes, no changes

69
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: to the coaching staff either.

70
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 3: He explained why.

71
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 8: I think you gotta be really really careful when you

72
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 8: start pointing fingers at certain people.

73
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 4: It's a dangerous thing.

74
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 8: And I'm not gonna do that, not doing it, not

75
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 8: right now, because that's as a head coach in this

76
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,119
Speaker 8: league that's going through what we're going through. You're you're

77
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 8: you're pointing a finger, and if it's going to be pointed,

78
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 8: it needs to be pointed at me to start with me.

79
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 4: Right.

80
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 9: So that's enough on that.

81
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 3: That's all I got to say about that.

82
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: And that's the head coach on Monday, Bucky, And all right,

83
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: that's that's saying.

84
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 4: It how it is.

85
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 5: That's how he believes that is in and it is and

86
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 5: and and meanwhile, JP, while we're going through the podcast,

87
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 5: I'm looking at my notes from the spring and the

88
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 5: summer and the optimism and all of the things that

89
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 5: we expected from the team. And Uh, the reason why

90
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 5: I'm looking at is because coach talked about, you know,

91
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 5: not finger pointing in those things, and I just remember

92
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 5: like the comments and talked about familiarity, UH, players signing

93
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 5: with Doug because they kind of knew what the program

94
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 5: was going to be, how hard they worked in the offseason,

95
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 5: the chemistry and attention to detail was there, and the

96
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 5: urgency and how they talked about how tough the camp

97
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 5: was and those things, and it's amazing when you have

98
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 5: all of that conversation. It really didn't take but a

99
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 5: half for a kind of unravel and I would say

100
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 5: the first half, I would say the first game of

101
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 5: the season, the Miami Dolphins game, where the team was

102
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 5: up and really about the open a can on the Dolphins.

103
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 5: Travisy Tenn is really on the on the verge of

104
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 5: scoring a touchdown fumbles, and from that moment on, the

105
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 5: season has absolutely spiral.

106
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 4: And I am surprised.

107
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 5: I'm surprised that it has kind of been that because

108
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 5: the team talked about the toughness and the resilience and

109
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 5: bouncing back from a disappointing fish finish to last season.

110
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 5: That this team is sitting at two to nine, and

111
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 5: I would say, based on the feeling down on the sideline,

112
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 5: it felt pretty bleak and hopeless. I just can't believe

113
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 5: that the team feels broken like it does based on

114
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 5: the optimism that everyone in the building had heading into

115
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 5: the season.

116
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, I guess I would say if if that causes this.

117
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 6: Then you weren't very good to begin with, ye meaning,

118
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, if there's been plenty of seasons

119
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 6: start off with a loss. I mean, you know, my

120
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 6: favorite team growing up was the Washington team eighty three.

121
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 7: They lost to Dallas week.

122
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 6: One, and I'm going way way back, but it was

123
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 6: devastating and it went fourteen to two. One of the

124
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 6: best cold teams I covered lost to New England on

125
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 6: a Thursday night in heartbreaking fashion, won the division at

126
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 6: twelve and four, and Peyton through forty nine touchdowns. I mean,

127
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 6: it's it can't end like I mean, that can't end it,

128
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 6: and you Bucky's saying. I'm not saying what he said

129
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 6: is wrong because I think it's I give some truth

130
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 6: to it. But if that happened, you weren't mentally tough

131
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 6: enough to begin with.

132
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's reminded me a little bit of

133
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: the twenty twelve season. Right, first game of the season

134
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: in Minnesota, Jaguars take the lead twenty seconds to go,

135
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: Gabert to Shorts touchdown, then they give up a fifty

136
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 2: five yard field goal lose it over time, and it

137
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 2: was pretty much all over.

138
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 6: Yeah it can't. I mean, and I do think there's

139
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 6: something too. I mean, they were going in if Travis scores,

140
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 6: I think they win that game. But to me, that's

141
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 6: more of a what this team is than something that

142
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 6: caused it. Meaning thank if you look back over three seasons,

143
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 6: this team's a team that there's codd some deficiencies, because

144
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 6: in every one of these seasons they've had a couple

145
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 6: of games where they just got blown out of the building.

146
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 6: I mean Detroit and not twenty two started it. They

147
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 6: were still building at that point. But last year in Tampa,

148
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 6: I mean, you'll forget that game, but that was pretty bad.

149
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 4: Oh it's horrible then.

150
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 6: And then in I mean ninety two and twenty three,

151
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 6: they they had the ability to win close games. They

152
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 6: won close games. At the end of twenty two they

153
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 6: won ed it. They started twenty three, there was there

154
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 6: was a little bit of a confidence. I've been trying

155
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 6: to figure this out, so I'm kind of thinking about it,

156
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 6: a little bit of a confidence there for some reason,

157
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 6: they could get over the humping close games this year.

158
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 6: That's the element that's been missing.

159
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 4: And.

160
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 7: Bucky's the football. Yeah, hey, Bucky, your name's on the show.

161
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 3: We got questions for you, Bucky.

162
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 2: I mean it felt like they I think in twenty

163
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 2: two and this is just me thinking, Bucky, correct me here,

164
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: but they had a defensive swagger about him.

165
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 3: At least in twenty twenty two.

166
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 2: They had guys in the back end that could make

167
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: plays in big moments, interception returns. You know, they had

168
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 2: a little more obviously a lot more life than they

169
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 2: have right now on the defensive side.

170
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 3: I think that might have had something to do with it.

171
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, because the one thing that they could do

172
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 5: the last two years prior to this year, they could

173
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 5: turn the ball over, and the turnovers would kind of

174
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 5: create a fees, a feeding frenzy.

175
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 4: When it came to the energy, changing the energy in.

176
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 5: The stadium, the offense would kind of pick up on

177
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 5: the energy and you would see this team overcomes some

178
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 5: slow starts because the defense would make a player two

179
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden, it would spark like wildfire.

180
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 4: This year hasn't been the same thing.

181
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 5: And I mean, let's be honest, like the last three

182
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 5: years and the last two years in particular, we expected

183
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 5: the offense to be the part of the team that

184
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 5: would carry the team. The defense was supposed to be

185
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 5: the part that could close it out. We've since changed

186
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 5: our expectations where we expect the defense to carry the

187
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 5: weight when the offense has really been the unit that

188
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 5: is underperformed. The team is flawed, the team is not

189
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 5: playing well, the team lacks confidence. But it all goes

190
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 5: back to what John talked about, the mental toughness. So

191
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 5: the lack thereof has really shown through and has been

192
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 5: an issue because you don't finish the way that you

193
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 5: finish and you don't play or start the way this

194
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 5: season has started unless you lack a level of toughness

195
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 5: and grit and determination to get jobs done.

196
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 2: Let's come back in a moment and dig into the

197
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence future this season and beyond coming off a

198
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 2: left shoulder issue.

199
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 3: We're often running a tunnel up with Bucky Brooks.

200
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 4: I don't believe they're letting go of the road.

201
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 9: I don't. It is a good football team.

202
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 8: They are good, and they're gonna play for a long time.

203
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 8: I think this year, you know, I mean, that's that's

204
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 8: just without without question in the NFC.

205
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 9: I look at it and and.

206
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 8: Even visiting with guys today and seeing the guys today,

207
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 8: you know they are they're they're tired. It's it's been

208
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 8: you know, each week, each Monday, you know, we haven't

209
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 8: felt very good and that also weighs on it.

210
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,239
Speaker 9: You're going into the next week.

211
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 2: Head coach Doug Peterson. Earlier this week the full press

212
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 2: conference at Jaguars dot com or the Jaguars YouTube channel.

213
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 2: Welcome back to huddle up with Bucky Brooks. Get down

214
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: to the bank. Sunday, December first, when the Jaguars go

215
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: head to head with the division rival Houston Texans.

216
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 3: It's the My Cause, My Cleats game. Lock in your seats.

217
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 2: It's a one pm kickoff nine oh four six three

218
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 2: three two thousand, or visit Jaguars dot com slash tickets.

219
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 2: And yes, the Texans beat the Cowboys on Monday Night Football.

220
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 2: This week, JP Shadwick, John Osier and Bucky Brooks. As

221
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 2: we continue to huddle up on this bye week, Let's

222
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 2: get into this Jaguars offense.

223
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 3: And what are you laughing at?

224
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 4: Bucking Odo Man?

225
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 5: Like, I gotta say this because I think every Jags fan,

226
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 5: everybody who supports this team would be disgusted.

227
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 4: At the comment that Doug just made about the team

228
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 4: being tired.

229
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 5: I just think it's hard for civilians to really look

230
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 5: at pro athletes and say that, oh my god, they

231
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 5: lost a bunch of games in the row.

232
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 4: They're so tired, let's give them the week off. I

233
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 4: just think that's hard for a blue collar worker.

234
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 5: To identify with that, And if anything, it goes back

235
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 5: to what we're talking about the lack of toughness when

236
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 5: it comes to the team.

237
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 4: Yes, you lost some games.

238
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 5: In a row, but that should not impact your ability

239
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 5: to come to work and do your job. To me,

240
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 5: that's giving them a way out. Like we can talk

241
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 5: about the coaches, we can talk about the front office,

242
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 5: but at some point this also falls to the players.

243
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,959
Speaker 5: And if they don't have the energy where they need

244
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 5: time off, or they just don't feel well and they're

245
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 5: down because they're getting their tails kicked, they ultimately determine

246
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 5: whether they get their tails kicked or not.

247
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,079
Speaker 4: So I just don't understand why the coach would let

248
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 4: them off the hook.

249
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 5: I understand taking a bullet for your but hey man,

250
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 5: sometimes they got a walla wind, this muck, and for

251
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 5: them not to be on the practice field this week,

252
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 5: I just I don't know how you get better without practice.

253
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought the same thing Bucky when he said it.

254
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 6: I related to what he was saying, because Bucky, you

255
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 6: and I before a couple of games I've expressed to you,

256
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 6: I said, I wonder if this is the game where

257
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 6: that stamina we talked about, you know, I forget which

258
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 6: game it was, maybe Philly or you know, and I

259
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 6: thought it might catch up with him in Detroit where

260
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 6: they had that kind of a game, because the Lions

261
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 6: are the kind of team that can sort of take

262
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 6: that and really test it and then you can fall apart. Right,

263
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 6: But look, this is the widest margin of the total

264
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 6: yardage since what seventy nine? Yeah, there's been plenty of

265
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 6: tire teams in the NFL in the last what forty

266
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 6: five years?

267
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 7: So I don't know. I kind of agree with you.

268
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 6: Yes, I think they are a mentally tired team, and

269
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 6: I think this kind of a season can wear on you.

270
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 6: But it goes back to what we talked about at

271
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 6: the beginning of the show, right like, if if you

272
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 6: can't recover from that, if you can't push through this,

273
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 6: they're not very good. And that's sort of it feels

274
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 6: like maybe the same thing, and I'm not getting into

275
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 6: it very well, Bucky.

276
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 4: No, it is what you said.

277
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 5: Okay, So part of why you have a tough training camp,

278
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 5: because remember everyone talked about how tough training camp was,

279
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 5: like Trevor Lawrence, they talked about having the joint practices

280
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 5: with Tampa Tampa talking about how tough things are. We're

281
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 5: part of the reason why you put your team through

282
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 5: a tough camp is to prepare them for the tough

283
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 5: stretches of the season that are.

284
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 4: Inevidently going to come. And if they are not able

285
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 4: to push through the adversity.

286
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 5: Part of the season, how could they ever be a

287
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 5: championship type team. And so to me, it's flawed not

288
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 5: only in the building process, team building, camaraderie, building, whatever

289
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 5: you want to say, it's flawed in terms of the

290
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 5: type of people that you have because of the team

291
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 5: is not prideful enough to try and bounce back from

292
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 5: those moments and what kind of team do we have?

293
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 5: What kind of players are you bringing in if they

294
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 5: don't want to go. Ultimately, this is a very competitive

295
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 5: game and competitors have to show up, and so the

296
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 5: fact that the team is saying, oh, we're tired we

297
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 5: don't feel good, we're discouraged, we don't. It's just hard

298
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 5: for me to say, let them off the hook with that,

299
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 5: give them a week off and they're gonna bounce back,

300
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 5: and everything's gonna be magically fixed.

301
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: By the way, they didn't wear pads the second day

302
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 2: against the Bucks in practice, that was just the first day.

303
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 4: It's a lot of time. Yeah, it's just what it's crazy.

304
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 6: That's particularly good because look, but I don't I don't

305
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 6: be the old man here, but even tougher now are tough? Yeah,

306
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 6: I mean, and I'm not saying I could do it.

307
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 6: I'm saying within the context I'm fifty eight and I

308
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 6: could have don them as twenty four. But within the

309
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 6: context of professional football, come on.

310
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 4: It's look, man, it's it's apparently it's not tough.

311
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 5: And even if we talk about let's just say like

312
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 5: toughness just in the terms of like what the current

313
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 5: state is, right, the teams that are at the top

314
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 5: of the list, when we look at the teams that

315
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 5: are flourishing right now, the Detroit lines, we just saw

316
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 5: their identities built on toughness and physicality. We look at

317
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 5: the upstart La Charges, Jim Harbough came in, talked about toughness,

318
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 5: physicality the Pittsburgh Steelers, who may not I would say,

319
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 5: I don't know how talented the Pittsburgh Steelers are, but toughness, physicality,

320
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 5: all of that stuff.

321
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 4: There appears to be a trend that the teams are

322
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 4: successful in this.

323
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 5: Lead are tough, minded, grizzled, heartened teams were. We obviously

324
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 5: don't have that if we're unable to respond to a

325
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 5: little adversity. And so it's look, man, everyone is to

326
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 5: blame for that. Players, coaches, front office, everyone gets some

327
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 5: of that. But I'm saying from the players standpoint, you

328
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 5: just may not have the right composition to players in

329
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 5: the locker room if they can't bounce back from some

330
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 5: of these tough moments.

331
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 2: All right, guys, let's come back and we'll get into

332
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence and what the futures are for him after

333
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 2: the bye week. A lot of the plate today during

334
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 2: a bye week at two and nine, that's what happens.

335
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 3: It's huddle up with Bucky.

336
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 9: Brook I'll say this, and I told the team this today.

337
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 9: I told to him after the game.

338
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 8: That the team that was out there yesterday that was

339
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 8: not us. That's not who we are, that's not who

340
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 8: we stand for. There's enough pride in that locker room,

341
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 8: enough pride on the coaching staff.

342
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 9: To whether we win, you know, whether we win the

343
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 9: game or not.

344
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,239
Speaker 4: Right how we performed, it's not who we are.

345
00:17:58,440 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 9: It's not who we are.

346
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 8: It's not it's not how I coach, it's not how

347
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 8: we prepared during the week. It's not how the players

348
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 8: practice and what they put their bodies through.

349
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: Head coach Doug Peterson earlier this week and welcome back,

350
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 2: AND's Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks.

00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 2: the Miller Electric Center. Bucky Brooks out in Los Angeles.

356
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 2: It's the bye week edition of Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks.

357
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence left shoulder injury, has missed the last two weeks,

358
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 2: and I guess we'll find out after the bye week,

359
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 2: maybe on Monday, probably later than that, if he is

360
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 2: getting a green light to go play, or if there

361
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 2: are bigger issues, Bucky. But this is where it gets interesting.

362
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 2: With the franchise quarterback making as much money as he

363
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 2: is for the next six years after this season, the

364
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: balance of long term hell to competing and playing if

365
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: he's healthy enough to play right now in a season

366
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 2: that is essentially lost. This is a big organizational decision

367
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 2: coming up. And I mean, we'll see how Trevor responds.

368
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 2: Maybe he comes back healthy, Bucky.

369
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 4: Who knows he shouldn't come back healthy?

370
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 5: I think, I mean he shouldn't play like I mean,

371
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 5: why tried him out there when, like you're not playing

372
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 5: for the postseason.

373
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 4: Why risk an injury to your franchise player.

374
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 5: And I understand the locker room, and I understand how

375
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 5: we want all.

376
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 4: Players to be created equal, But he's the quarterback.

377
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 5: He's your franchise quarterback, and you're locked in to him

378
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 5: at fifty five million annually for a long time. So

379
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 5: why not let him rest and rehab, allow him to

380
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 5: be fully healthy when it returns next offseason, whether it's

381
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 5: OTA's training camp or whatever. To have the opportunity to

382
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 5: put forth your best team in twenty twenty five. To me, like,

383
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 5: I don't know what benefits there are to try to

384
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 5: number sixteen out there.

385
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 4: If he has an injury that is going to require

386
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 4: more evaluation, more rehab recovered, Let's start it right now

387
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 4: so he can be ready to go next year. Let's

388
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 4: not prolong it.

389
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess it depends a little to a degree

390
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 6: on the time frame, like if it needs surgery, if

391
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 6: it can get if he can get back by whatever

392
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 6: is April fifteenth, whenever that starts. There's part of me

393
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 6: I'd like to see Trevor play through that, because I'm sure,

394
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 6: knowing him, he wants to. But if it, as Bucky said,

395
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 6: if it does anything at all to if you think

396
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 6: you're unduly risking anything that affects that timeline or him

397
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 6: not being back raring to go as they say, then

398
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 6: I agree with you, And I guess I just don't

399
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 6: know because we don't have any firm knowledge of severity

400
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 6: and how much it'll affect potential return. To have the

401
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 6: facts make the statement, I agree, But if it affects

402
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 6: it at all, if the risk is higher than if

403
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 6: this wasn't going on, then I think he said.

404
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 2: Well, what's the reward if he you know, let's say

405
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 2: he's out there right and.

406
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 7: Well, he's still developing quarterback.

407
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 2: Okay, yes, and but how many of the weapons are

408
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 2: going to be around for the long term. Brian Thomas Jr. Right,

409
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 2: Evan Ingram is still under contract for another year or so.

410
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 6: Right, I would say this, he has to be healthy

411
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 6: enough to benefit from what he's doing right, Right, And

412
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 6: I guess what I mean Bucky is last year, in

413
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 6: the last six games when he played five, it didn't

414
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 6: feel like he was healthy enough to be improving at

415
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 6: that point or to be playing at his highest I

416
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 6: think he was healthy enough that they thought he was

417
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 6: a better option than the backup. And I think I'm

418
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 6: saying that verty well, but if he's just struggling through

419
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 6: to gut out a win, then I don't think you.

420
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 6: I absolutely don't think you're playing right.

421
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

422
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 5: Now, look, here's the thing, Like, after watching two games

423
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 5: of the offense with Mac Jones, it is clear in

424
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 5: the parent that Trevor Lawrence is needed for this team

425
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 5: to score points. Trevor Lawrence is needed to get the

426
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 5: rest of the team hope that they can win a game.

427
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 4: Like that's the feeling in the sense that I get

428
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 4: when I'm on the sideline.

429
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 5: They don't believe that there's a path to victory if

430
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 5: Trevor Lawrence is not at quarterback.

431
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 3: That's it.

432
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 4: Part of your job.

433
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 5: At the top is to make sure you protect your franchise, asset,

434
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 5: your franchise quarterback. And despite the competitiveness that Trevor may

435
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,719
Speaker 5: exhibit and wanting to play, risk reward, what are the

436
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 5: rewards of risking putting him out there, even if us

437
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 5: as non throwing show in those things, what are the

438
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 5: potential rewards of doing that. Okay, you win a game

439
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 5: or two, you fall out of maybe the number one position,

440
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 5: to now you fall to number three in the draft.

441
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 5: To me, I don't know if that is enough to

442
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 5: risk putting number sixteen out there. And as the leader

443
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 5: of the franchise or whatever, like, someone needs to say, hey,

444
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 5: look he wants to go, he can do it, but

445
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 5: we just want to make sure that we have number

446
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 5: sixteen healthy and ready to go, and we want to

447
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 5: make sure we protect his long term interest and we

448
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 5: just play out the string because that's what it is.

449
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 5: I don't know how much is going to change over

450
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 5: the next few weeks, whether Trevor plays or not. I

451
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 5: just want to make sure that you protect a franchise

452
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 5: by protecting the quarterback.

453
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 3: Guys, let's come back.

454
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 2: We'll try to salvage the defense when we return, and

455
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 2: we'll get our final thoughts to huddle up with Bucky Brothers.

456
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 4: Very disappointed, very very angry. Today was not our day at.

457
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 10: All, no phase of the game, and we got a

458
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 10: lot of work to do, especially going well. We got

459
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,160
Speaker 10: it by week, so everybody hopefully give give first come

460
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 10: back divisional game, come back im fourth one.

461
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,639

Speaker 2: Jaguars have ever allowed in a game, most in a

470
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 2: sixty minute game. The overtime loss in Houston and twenty

471
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 2: twelve was the most to go allowed and then the

472
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 2: most yardage in the ninety five year history of the

473
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 2: Detroit Lions organization. And their ninety first year in the

474
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 2: city of Detroit. That includes the years in Portsmouth, Ohio

475
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 2: in their early days. That's a lot of football to

476
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 2: be played. To give up six hundred and forty five yards.

477
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 2: Jaguars is going into that game where the worst defense

478
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 2: in the league overall, bottom or near the bottom in

479
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 2: most every major metric, the lowest blitz rate in the league.

480
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 2: What is there to salvage the rest of the way here, Bucky,

481
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 2: mister defensive minded guy, what do you got?

482
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:33,400
Speaker 4: I don't know where you can salvage.

483
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 5: But what you're trying to do is you're trying to

484
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 5: take the butt by week And I heard coach Peterson

485
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 5: talk about they're gonna look at everything, look at all

486
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 5: the tactics, to personnel, the rotations, all those things, and

487
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 5: see what they can do to put a better product

488
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 5: on the field the last six weeks. I think if

489
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 5: you're Ryan Nilson and the coaching staff, you have to

490
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 5: look at everything that you've done.

491
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 4: Who are the players that you put on the field.

492
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 5: Does the scheme put them in the best position to succeed?

493
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 5: If not, what are the things that can change. It's

494
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 5: hard to do a major overhaul of the personnel. So

495
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 5: what can you do from a X and O standpoint

496
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 5: to help the players play better. We've seen this team

497
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 5: go from being I would say an aggressive, man demand

498
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 5: team to trying to be one that is a little

499
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 5: more ban but don't break.

500
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 4: But both approaches have not yielded the results that you want.

501
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 5: I think what you have to do is look at

502
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 5: the strengths of the players, put them in a position

503
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 5: to play to those strengths as much as possible, and

504
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 5: you just got to live with the results.

505
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 4: But what you want to do now is.

506
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 5: You have to become a process oriented group more so

507
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 5: than a results driven group, because as a coach, you

508
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 5: got to assume that I'm gonna be here beyond this year.

509
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 5: Let me lock in and figure out what I can

510
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,959
Speaker 5: fix to help us build some momentum down the stretch.

511
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 6: First of all, some of those Portsmouth teams could hang

512
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 6: a number on you, so discount that absolutely. I thought

513
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 6: I thought, I thought they played ben but don't break.

514
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 7: The other day.

515
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 6: The problem was the Lions offensive line was so good

516
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 6: that once you got down into the point where you

517
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 6: would normally stop bending, the Lions could just break you.

518
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 6: I mean, so that that approach makes sense except when

519
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 6: you're completely overmatch with the line of scrimmage. So that

520
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 6: was just kind of a thought that didn't was very

521
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 6: able to do with your question, what do they do?

522
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 6: I I think they'll play better defensively going forward. I

523
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 6: think they can get back to when they're playing lesser offenses,

524
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 6: which pretty much any offense in the league right now

525
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 6: is gonna be lesser than Detroit because they match up

526
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 6: so well against Jacksonville, meaning their front being that overpowering.

527
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 6: You worried beforehand, Bucky, that they would expose what we

528
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 6: all sort of felt was the Jaguars weakness the interior,

529
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 6: and that if they couldn't get off the field, they

530
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 6: were gonna be able. They were gonna be able to

531
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 6: impose will opening up everything. I'm not sure any other

532
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 6: team can white do that to that degree this year.

533
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, let's look at the schedule.

534
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm saying they're saying that that doesn't matter

535
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,719
Speaker 6: because it shows you how far behind you are elite

536
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 6: right now. And I got off track, But that's that's

537
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 6: too bad.

538
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 2: To your point, John, Texans, next Titans, after that, Jets, Raiders,

539
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 2: Titans again, and then the Colts.

540
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 4: That's the remaining six games.

541
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:31,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, so you can get some traction and

542
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 6: not be as bad as they were the other day.

543
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 6: But the goodness, they were as bad as you can

544
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 6: get the other day. So I don't know if that

545
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 6: traction makes any difference get worse.

546
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, But we weren't.

547
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 5: We weren't surprised because I remember JP asked the question

548
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 5: in the pregame talk about where, uh where, if anywhere,

549
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 5: does do the Jaguars hold an advantage over the Detroit liance.

550
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 5: And I couldn't give an answer. I couldn't give a

551
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 5: positive answer like offense, defense, O, line, D line, secondary nowhere.

552
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 5: And that's a problem just from a personnel standpoint. And

553
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 5: then when you try and match the tactics to the personnel,

554
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 5: what you're trying to do is accenuate your strengths and

555
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 5: mash your deficiencies.

556
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 4: But the problem the way the team.

557
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 5: Is constructed right now, you're not dominant on the interior.

558
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 4: You have two pass rushes in.

559
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 5: Trayvon Austin Josh einz Allen, but you have to have

560
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 5: more to be successful in the league. At linebacker, we've

561
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 5: had problems when we've been forced to match up in

562
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 5: man demand so you want to play more zone, but

563
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 5: when you are a defense that is not as fast

564
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 5: as the opponent, zone leaves too many holes and voids

565
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 5: and the catch and run stuff can get you. And

566
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 5: then on the outside we're still having I would say

567
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 5: communication issues when it comes to the coverage. Where am

568
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 5: I supposed to be, who do I have? How do

569
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 5: we play this? And those things. So everyone is to

570
00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 5: blame coaches, players, front office in terms of the the

571
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:55,280
Speaker 5: pieces of the puzzle not matching up. But I will

572
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 5: say this, what you try to do is you try

573
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 5: to sell the team on Let's play these next six

574
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 5: games the best that we can do. Let's reset everything

575
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 5: when we come back on Monday and see if we

576
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 5: can build game plans that gives us an opportunity to

577
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 5: win the majority of these six games, and if we

578
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 5: can build some positive momentum, maybe we can realize some

579
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 5: of the potential that we thought that we had as

580
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 5: a team heading.

581
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 4: Into the season.

582
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 5: Easier said than done, but I think from a mental standpoint,

583
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 5: that's what you have to do.

584
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 4: If you're Doug Peterson the company.

585
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the same thing applies to the other

586
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 6: side of the ball, too, But I mean every email.

587
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 6: I get it keeps them talking about how quote predictable.

588
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 7: The offense is.

589
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 6: My experience is that typically when play callers feel like

590
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 6: the players that they have are somewhat limited, that tends

591
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 6: to limit what they call offensively because they're trying to

592
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 6: put these guys in situations where they can succeed. And

593
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 6: it feels to me like that's a little bit of Okay, well,

594
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 6: we don't really want to call this set of plays

595
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 6: because we feel like that puts us at a disadvantage

596
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:07,959
Speaker 6: and not being able to execute it, So we're going

597
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 6: to stick to these. It gets predictable because there's not

598
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 6: that many things you feel confident in. And again, I

599
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 6: may not be saying that that well, but I think

600
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 6: I think Mac clearly the arm there limits a little

601
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 6: bit of what they're going to call downfield. That's just

602
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 6: how it feels to me. And then the fact that

603
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 6: you don't feel confident that you can establish the run,

604
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 6: then all of a sudden, there's a limit to what

605
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 6: you can call in this, which I think is sort

606
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 6: of the offensive version of what you're talking about.

607
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 4: Buck.

608
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, Now, let's be honest, because it starts with the

609
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 5: quarterback first, right, the one thing that every team will

610
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 5: tell you is what you hope for is the quarterback

611
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 5: that is in the game gives.

612
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 4: You hope that you'll be able to get it done.

613
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 5: When the defense believes in the quarterback, what they do

614
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 5: is they spend their time saying, hey, if we can

615
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 5: just get the ball back, I can lead us down

616
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 5: the field. Offensively, wide receivers run a little faster. They

617
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 5: give a little more energy and effort to getting open

618
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 5: because they know if I win my route, the ball

619
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 5: is gonna be right there for me and I'm gonna

620
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 5: be able to make a play. Same thing for the

621
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 5: offensive line. If we give right I got time, we

622
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 5: can make it happen. And unfortunately, right now, mac Jones

623
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 5: is not played well enough to inspire that kind of

624
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 5: hope on either side of the ball. Now he's trying to,

625
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 5: like as hard as he can to be that guy, but.

626
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 4: Right now it just hasn't worked.

627
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 5: That then forces the coaching staff to kind of shift

628
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 5: gears and try and figure out how can we win

629
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 5: working around.

630
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 4: Some of the things that he's struggling with. Can we

631
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 4: run the ball more?

632
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 5: Can we do some different things screen passes, quick game

633
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 5: rhythm throws, play action, all of those things, and so

634
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 5: you're spending the wheel trying to find the right combination

635
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 5: of plays and concepts to help the quarterback, and then

636
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,479
Speaker 5: helping the quarterback you help the rest of the team.

637
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 5: But I'll be honest, the offensive line hasn't been good

638
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 5: enough to run the football successfully. We've had the same

639
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 5: issue the last two years in terms of being able

640
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 5: to convert third and fourth in shorts. On the outside,

641
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 5: we're not winning consistently outside of Brian Thomas Junior to deserve.

642
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 4: To have the ball go in their direction more often.

643
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 5: And then when it comes to the quarterback, we just

644
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 5: haven't been accurate enough to be able to put the

645
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 5: ball on the playmakers when they do win. So it's

646
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 5: just been a failure in every aspect when it comes

647
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 5: to the offensive plan.

648
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 2: Well, other than that, everything's going fine here in Jacksonville.

649
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 2: The bye week, you know, I'm real positive about it's

650
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 2: gonna happen moving ahead. After this show today, Bucky, I

651
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 2: must say, hey, Bucky, do you have a bye week?

652
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 4: How does that work? It is a bye week. It's

653
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 4: been kind of crummy. So the good thing is being

654
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,400
Speaker 4: able to kind of reseaid, you know what, I'm gonna do.

655
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 5: I'm gonna take a queue from Doug Peterson and the

656
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 5: team and I'm just gonna reset.

657
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 4: I'm a little tired.

658
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 5: All of these games have made me tired, so I'm

659
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 5: gonna try and rest and recharge and make sure that

660
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 5: I come back next week on Huddle Up fully ready

661
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 5: to go back to the positivity, trying to go one

662
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 5: and on next week. So yeah, I'm I'm gonna do

663
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 5: like the players, I'm gonna take some time off and

664
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 5: I'm gonna try and get it right next week.

665
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 4: So that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna enjoy the

666
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 4: rest of the week and make sure I'm recharging, ready

667
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 4: to go.

668
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 3: It's a long stretch.

669
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 6: Run Joe on top that tough too. I'll do the same.

670
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 6: I will take the rest of the show off.

671
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 4: I will.

672
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 2: I will do it just because that's what we do

673
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,479
Speaker 2: during the bye week. Bucky will talk to you next week.

674
