And here we are gentlemen players in 16 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 2: the building offseason program. And some players talked today, John, So, 17 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 2: I don't know how much meat we got out of 18 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence and Calvin Ridley and Foyer Loid kind of 19 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 2: we got a little bit. It was good to hear 20 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 2: from those guys really to get this thing going today. 21 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 3: Well, it's a tone setting day. So the story I wrote, 22 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 3: which unfortunately for you you had read. 23 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 2: I haven't read. I haven't read it yet. I mean, 24 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:23,960 Speaker 2: you got to send it before I can read. 25 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 3: It's what you would expect with with Trevor and Foyer 26 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 3: more than Ridley, because Calvin wasn't here last year, talking 27 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 3: about the need to look forward, get back to work, 28 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 3: and you know, the twenty twenty two really doesn't mean 29 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 3: anything at this point, so that's what you'd expect them 30 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 3: to say. 31 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 4: Uh. 32 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 3: To me, it was the overriding tone of what they 33 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 3: were saying, and very much reminding themselves and speaking to 34 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 3: younger players. I'd say that to you talk about a 35 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 3: couple of team captains or guys in that role. So 36 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 3: I thought that was significant as a you know, if 37 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 3: there was a theme of the day, I thought that 38 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 3: was it. The news of the day was certainly Calvin 39 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 3: Ridley speaking Trevor. Lawrence also said some very interesting things 40 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 3: that to me were more secondary the Ridley story in 41 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 3: terms of how he sees the offense improving what they're doing. 42 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 3: Some things like that that you expected, but it's what 43 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 3: they're doing this week. It's behind the scenes stuff. Ridley 44 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 3: was as good at the podium, as honest and as 45 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 3: forthcoming as anybody who read his Player's Tribune piece would 46 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 3: expect him to be. 47 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 2: JP Right, we'll hear from all three of these guys 48 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 2: coming up, Bucky. But yeah, it's set the tone for 49 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 2: the offseason. There are some expectations from outside the building, Bucky, 50 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 2: but you know, Trevor said it, we'll hear from them 51 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: coming up. You know, they can't worry about the outside expectations. 52 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 2: It's about carrying what they'd did and moving on and 53 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: getting better week to week. 54 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's always about that. It has to be an 55 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 5: emphasis on the Jacks. It can't be about anybody else. 56 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 5: This offseason has to be about finding a way to 57 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 5: be better than they were last. 58 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 4: Year, the last time we saw them. 59 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 5: And even though we can express satisfact in the fact 60 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 5: that they made the postseason they won the division, still 61 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 5: a lot of room to improve. 62 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 4: And so this year the bar will be raised. 63 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,679 Speaker 5: I think Doug Peterson and company will certainly raise the 64 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 5: bar because this team has big time potential and so 65 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 5: now it's about pushing them to see if they can 66 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 5: realize their potential next season. 67 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence on the expectations from the outside and turning 68 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 2: them off last. 69 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 6: Year didn't in the way we wanted it to. So 70 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 6: it's you know, obviously it was a good year for 71 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 6: our team, for the City fits organization, but there's more 72 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 6: out there. I think we've set a new standard of 73 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 6: you know, who we're going to be, the team we're 74 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 6: going to be, and we got to start that way 75 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 6: this year, and so that's the mindset. I think we 76 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 6: don't really think about those expectations much because all we 77 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 6: can do is just try to keep getting better and we. 78 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 4: Know for us, we feel like that's the floor. 79 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 6: So I mean, that's really the only expectations we think 80 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 6: of that, you know, for ourselves. But I just don't 81 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 6: think it's good to pay attention to that stuff. 82 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 2: More from the quarterback Trevor Lawrence earlier on Wednesday, and 83 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 2: for the first time in his NFL career, he's not 84 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 2: having to learn a brand new offense this offseason. 85 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 6: There's some I guess comfort in knowing that I already 86 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 6: know the system, and our guys, our core group of 87 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 6: guys already know, obviously, you know, you get Calvin and 88 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 6: some guys up front, and then you know some some 89 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 6: new running backs all that that need to get up 90 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 6: to speed. But that'll happen, and we have so much 91 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 6: time to do it. I think it was nice this 92 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 6: offseason being able to focus, you know a little bit 93 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 6: more just on the physical side of you know, training 94 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 6: and getting my body right, especially after a long year, 95 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 6: you know, with some just lingering, you know, maybe injuries, 96 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 6: little stuff from the season. So had a chance to 97 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 6: take a little break, help some of that heel up, 98 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 6: and then really just you know, work on my body 99 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 6: and obviously prepping and there's things you know, you watch 100 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 6: tape and you figure out some of the weaknesses from 101 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 6: last year individually as an offense, some of the strengths, 102 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 6: so you kind of figure out the stuff that you 103 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 6: want to work on. I was able to focus more 104 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 6: on that than already got a whole new system I 105 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 6: have to learn, and I don't really you have. 106 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 4: To kind of start from scratch. 107 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 6: So it was nice having that comfort and knowing, you know, 108 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 6: I know the system and that's not an ops. Well 109 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 6: I'm gonna have to really face this year. But now 110 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 6: it's just how do we take that next step, you know, 111 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 6: for myself and for. 112 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 7: The offense, Bucky, He's said a keyword there. Comfort. That's 113 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 7: a big step in the right direction. 114 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: When you can just walk into a place now you 115 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: have that comfort level and you can build upon things offensively. 116 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, comfort is everything, and so being in the same 117 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 5: offense back to back years will certainly help him. The 118 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 5: familiarity in terms of the language, the familiarity with the 119 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 5: players around him and even the coaching staff that should 120 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 5: allow him to play better. And then the big thing 121 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 5: is nat that Doug Peterson knows exactly who he's working with, 122 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 5: what the strengths and weaknesses are. You now can begin 123 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 5: to expand the offense, making sure that you accentuate the strengths, 124 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 5: you minimize the weaknesses, and you always put number sixteen 125 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 5: in a position to succeed. This should be a lot 126 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 5: of fun to continue to see how they kind of 127 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 5: push the envelope over the course of the off season, 128 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 5: and so we have an opportunity to watch the final 129 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 5: product in September. 130 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 3: It doesn't grab headlines JP because we don't have proof, 131 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 3: but when you ask me, where can they improve the 132 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 3: most as a football team in the offseason, meaning you 133 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 3: talk about the draft, you talk about free agency, you 134 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 3: talk about Cummington goings, Jwan Taylor leaving other people coming 135 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 3: that improvement, the ability for this offense to go from 136 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 3: what they were to keep improving under Trevor Or, under 137 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 3: Trevor and Doug, that's where they're going to make their 138 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 3: biggest improvement. If this offense improves like you think it should. 139 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 3: The addition to Ridley will help. But Lawrence's growth, him 140 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 3: going from a year two quarterback to a year three. 141 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 3: They weren't that far from being Super Bowl champions last year. 142 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence taking a jump, being consistent, one more series 143 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 3: of game, six more points a game. That's where they're 144 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 3: really going to get better. The other stuff beyond the 145 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 3: quarterback position on this team. It's nice. You have to 146 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 3: support it. He's the story. 147 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 2: The league leading offense last year scored twenty nine points 148 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 2: per game. The Jaguars were about twenty three in change. 149 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 2: So there's the difference. 150 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 3: About twenty seven in the second half the season, right 151 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 3: when they started to come together. Bucky, I'd love to 152 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 3: hear from you. I've getting a lot of questions about that. 153 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 3: I know we've talked and if it's been on the 154 00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 3: air or not, you think that six or seven point 155 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 3: jump is a doable jump. And this team's going to 156 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 3: be all in on offense. And that's what you're going 157 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 3: to see next year, right. 158 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 4: I think you have to you have to make it 159 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 4: a point. 160 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 5: Doug Peterson has to look around at the AFC and 161 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 5: know that the Cancit, the Chiefs, the Cincinnati Bengals, you 162 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 5: can throw the Buffalo Bills, and those are the teams 163 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 5: that you're chasing when it comes to trying to play 164 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 5: for the number one seed. And let's be honest, that's 165 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 5: what you want to play for because if you are 166 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 5: the number one seed, it takes two games to get 167 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 5: to the super Bowl, and so you want to put 168 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 5: that out there so the team understands you get a 169 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 5: chance to play two home games and there you are 170 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 5: in the super Bowl. And so the only way to 171 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 5: do that is you have to build a team that 172 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 5: can go to the shootout and win. 173 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 4: And so if you're able to do that, that gives 174 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 4: you a chance. 175 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 5: And so Calvin Ridley coming on board, that helps being 176 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 5: able to get Trevor Lawrence comfortable with all of the 177 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 5: piece round STAPs and the hug, Peter, the pushing everybody 178 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 5: on the offense, including number sixteen, to take their game 179 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 5: up justin Notch. Yeah, I think the pressure is on 180 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 5: the offense because that needs to be the unit that 181 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 5: is consistent each and every week. And whatever contribution you 182 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 5: get from the defense, that's gravy. But the expectation is 183 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 5: that you got to get close to thirty points on 184 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 5: offense each week. 185 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 2: It's Tuddle Up podcast, JP Shadwick, John Osier, Bucky Brooks. 186 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: We'll hear from Foyer luikon on defense coming up in 187 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 2: a moment, But Johnny, you mentioned it. Calvin Ridley and 188 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 2: his press conference today the first time the media in 189 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 2: Jacksonville's had a chance to visit with him. First of all, 190 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 2: he walked in, he shook everybody's hand, looked him in 191 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 2: the eyes, said hello. I was very warm, very gracious, 192 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 2: very excited to be back in the building. And they 193 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 2: asked him about having two years off and the expectations 194 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 2: on the field. 195 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 7: Can he get back to that level? 196 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 8: Man, if I'm being real, I'm being honest, It's like 197 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 8: I've been good at football all my life. Not to 198 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 8: be I'm trying to be humble, you know, Like I said, 199 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 8: I've been pretty good at football all my life. And 200 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 8: I not only been good, I also worked to be good. 201 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 8: And you know, they say two years off, But what 202 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 8: about the healing. 203 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 9: Process that I got to be with that time off? 204 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 9: What about what if I got faster? What if I 205 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 9: got stronger? Obviously I got wiser. Why can't I be better? 206 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 9: So I kind of look at it like that. 207 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 8: Obviously, you know, two years off, I gotta go through 208 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 8: I mean the tightness, the leg tightenness, I gotta go 209 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 8: through all the crap. 210 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,439 Speaker 9: But I mean I see myself being a good player. 211 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 4: I do. 212 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 2: That's I think the money quote of the whole press 213 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 2: conference right there BACKI you know, yeah, why am I 214 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 2: all of a sudden not as good as I once was? 215 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 2: When he's always had time to do is sit back 216 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 2: and work. So in theory, he could be a better 217 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 2: player than before. 218 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 5: He absolutely can be a better player than before because 219 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 5: he's been in the league for a while, the game 220 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 5: has already slowed down. 221 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 4: Being able to watch the. 222 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 5: Game from afar, he's been able to pick things up 223 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 5: in terms of how to make the game even easier 224 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 5: for him. And I want everyone to understand this dude 225 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 5: is a number one receiver, something that we haven't had 226 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 5: a truemble one receivers. 227 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 4: Going to man double teams. 228 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 5: He's going to open up the field for the rest 229 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 5: of the guys. And he has the potential went healthy, 230 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 5: to be a dominant player, to be a guy that 231 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 5: you have to account for, to be a guy that 232 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 5: Trevor Lawrence can depend on critical situations. And so if 233 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 5: he is just back to where he was when he 234 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 5: left off, when he was a spectacular route runner who 235 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 5: took over for Julio Jones in Atlanta, and so I 236 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 5: think that also needs to be understood. He took over 237 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 5: the number one job for Julio Jones, who was one 238 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 5: of the game. As we talk about the prototype as 239 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 5: a number one receiver, So the pressure and all of 240 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 5: that other stuff that's not going to face him. And 241 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 5: so if Calvin Ridley is right, man, this offense has 242 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 5: an opportunity to go from good to great in a hurry. 243 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 5: And that's just not being positive on him because he's 244 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 5: a Jaguar. That's just being real in terms of how 245 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 5: good he was as a wide receiver. If he returns 246 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 5: to that form, look out because this office is gonna 247 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 5: put up firework. 248 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 2: And just the way he talked about it, John just 249 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 2: sounds like a number one alpha receiver in a room 250 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 2: like that. He explained the whole fourteen hundred yard type 251 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 2: receiver thing. It's like, yeah, I'm that type of receiver. 252 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 2: I had a broken foot, so you know, I couldn't 253 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 2: really get to the level. And now he's healthy. So 254 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 2: he explained all of that thoroughly, and just I thought 255 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 2: the approach kind of just it was just pure number 256 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 2: one receiver. 257 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:57,680 Speaker 3: It's always, especially in this day and age, it's a 258 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 3: fine line with what you say. I'm sure people will 259 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 3: take what he said and take it as cocky. I'm 260 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 3: sure he'll get like some flak on Twitter, as people 261 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 3: do when you listen to how he said it. Though 262 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 3: his approach in that press conference clearly he wanted to 263 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 3: come in and tell the people of Jacksonville, tell the 264 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 3: Jaguars fans how he feels about things. I thought he 265 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 3: hit the moment out of the park because I thought 266 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 3: he was just being himself. Great NFL players and Bucky 267 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 3: can speak to this because he's been around him and 268 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 3: he played. Great players know they're good and they know 269 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 3: what they can do. I thought that's all he was 270 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 3: expressing today is Hey, I'm used to being good. I 271 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 3: expect to be good. He didn't say it with an arrogance. 272 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 3: He just said it with a confidence that those are expectations. 273 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,199 Speaker 3: When he talked about in the Player's Tribute, he talked 274 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 3: about being a fourteen hundred yard receiver pretty good, saying, Hey, 275 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 3: I don't know what the stats will be, and that's 276 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 3: up to God in circumstance, et cetera, et cetera. But 277 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 3: in his mind he believes he's that caliber receiver in 278 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,719 Speaker 3: this league, which basically means he believes he's as good 279 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 3: as any receiver in football. I have no problem with 280 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 3: him thinking that. I have no problem with the way 281 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 3: he said it, Bucky. 282 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 5: No, I have no problem with it, And I think 283 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 5: it's important for people to understand that kind of comes 284 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 5: along with it. The guys who are true number ones, 285 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 5: the guys who are alphas, they have that I call 286 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 5: it athletic arrogance. 287 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 4: That you can sense and you can feel. 288 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 5: And obviously, in that presser, everyone should have come away 289 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 5: with like, whoop. This dude has a lot of self belief, 290 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 5: but that belief comes from a place where he talked 291 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 5: about I know that I've always been good at football 292 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 5: because I've always worked at football, and so to me, 293 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 5: that is the culture in what Doug Peterson's tring trying 294 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 5: to establish. You talk about a team that is kind 295 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 5: of a blue collar team, a team that has kind 296 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 5: of put it together and they've worked to become the 297 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 5: team that they are. 298 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 4: Well, he's gonna fit right in. 299 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 5: And here's what I do know about a very competitive 300 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 5: wide receiver room. If Calvin really comes in and he 301 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 5: takes that approach that I'm gonna put into work, well 302 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,320 Speaker 5: you know what that's going to do. That's gonna make 303 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 5: Christian Kirk and Zay Jones and Ingram worked. Because there's 304 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 5: one ball and there are a whole bunch of miles 305 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 5: defeat and if we're saying that we're gonna throw to 306 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 5: the open guy, when everyone is going to work like 307 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 5: the Dickens to make sure they're in a position to 308 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 5: get the rock. 309 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 4: And so it's a good problem to have. 310 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 5: But the competition is certainly going to make everybody in 311 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 5: that wide receiver room better. 312 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 3: And what an interesting situation it is, Bucky and we 313 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 3: talked about it a lot last offseason, but I think 314 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 3: it's worth three visit or last season after the trade. 315 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 3: It's really unique in that if he does come in 316 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 3: and he's the one and he's the Alpha, it really 317 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 3: doesn't change the roles that were being played last year 318 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 3: that significantly, because although Christian Kirk had the best numbers, 319 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 3: you can certainly envision Riddily having WR one numbers and 320 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 3: Christians still having almost the same role he had last year. 321 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 3: Because he can so easily be a slot guy and 322 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 3: work different routes as readily same as a Jones Evn Ingram. 323 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 3: He really doesn't have to take anybody's role on this team, 324 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 3: does he buck. 325 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 4: No, he doesn't. And here's the thing. 326 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 5: When Calvin talked about being wiser, I think it's really 327 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 5: important for everyone to know that he is an high 328 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 5: IQ football player, meaning that his ability to understand the 329 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 5: intricacies of not only his own position, but the entire 330 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 5: concept what this now gives the Jaguars a lot of 331 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 5: versatility because Christian Kirk is high IQ's a Jones high IQ, 332 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 5: Evan Ingram is high IQ. So that gives Doug Peterson 333 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 5: the ability to miss and match the personnel as interchangeable 334 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 5: pieces on the chessboard. So now one week Kelvin really 335 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 5: can play outside to the right, the next week he 336 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 5: can go in the slot, or you can do it 337 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 5: play by play, and so that prevents the defense from 338 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 5: really being able to hone in on who is the 339 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 5: go to guy. And because the Jaguars, even last year, 340 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 5: they kind of change each and every week, the hot 341 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 5: guy was somebody different. Well, now you add another dynamic, 342 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 5: high end playmaker to the mix with the capacity to 343 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 5: act as that interchangeable piece, or it becomes very different 344 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 5: fan this Jaguars office, which is why I'm optimistic they 345 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 5: absolutely can get the twenty nine plus points per game. 346 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not usually one to raid to wave the 347 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 3: Pom pom JP but Bucky where does this meaning? Kirk, Jones, 348 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 3: Ridley and Ingram? Who in the NFL has a better group? 349 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 5: I would say that the Chargers have a very dynamic 350 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 5: group because they have two guys in Mike Williams and 351 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 5: Keenan Allen that are terrific. But without even looking at 352 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 5: the rest of the league, the Jaguars are at a 353 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 5: minimum top five, and you can make the push that 354 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 5: they're going to crack the top three based in terms 355 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 5: of just the overall diversity of the group. When you 356 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 5: include Evan Ingram as a tied end, I mean, this 357 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 5: is a very talented, very talented group. 358 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 4: We've talked about petition. 359 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 5: I think John or JP we may have talked about 360 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 5: like this may be an opportunity where you have three 361 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 5: and one three one thousand yard receivers and a thousand 362 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 5: yard rusher and Travis Ntien. And when we think about 363 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 5: the teams, it's only been done a handful of times 364 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 5: in the National Football League, But when you think about 365 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 5: that kind of production, that kind of output, the points 366 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 5: come after that, and so as they're pushing to put 367 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 5: all the pieces in place and Doug Peterson and that crew, 368 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 5: they'll downplay it, but it's a very realistic option for 369 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 5: these playmakers over a thousand yards and for Travis Inntien 370 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 5: to be a thousand yard running back. 371 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 4: JP. 372 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 3: This reminds me so much of all those teams we 373 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 3: covered in the first ten years. 374 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 7: Well you know, we've had a lot of those around here. 375 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,479 Speaker 7: Ye just racking up yardage, that's what they do. 376 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 3: To me. The to put this together with you're now 377 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 3: talking three or four acquisitions that all came in a 378 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 3: two off season period, all through the veteran market and 379 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 3: to piece them together. 380 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 4: Again. 381 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 3: I know I'm always on that train. I'm not sure 382 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 3: I've ever seen that sort of production considering the fact 383 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 3: that they are all still young players early in a 384 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 3: second contract. You haven't added a thirty one to thirty 385 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 3: two year old guy who you feel like, who you 386 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,360 Speaker 3: feel like is on the downslide. Teams are usually willing 387 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 3: to let those guys go. To pick up four players 388 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 3: at that stage in their career, that twenty five through 389 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 3: twenty I'm not sure exactly what the age are, but 390 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 3: you know what I'm getting at. They're still in that 391 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 3: period where they're either ascending or peaking as players. It's 392 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 3: remarkable to have put this core together. I think Trent 393 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 3: Balky and the decision makers deserve a lot of credit 394 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 3: for that part of it. 395 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 7: It's rare, very rare. 396 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 2: Indeed, this is Huddle Up Podcast Shap Shadwick, Bucky Brooks, 397 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 2: John Osier. Let's flip it to defense and slowing down 398 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 2: opposing offenses and setting up this Jaguars offense in good situations. 399 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 2: Foyer aluik And today walked into the press conference with 400 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 2: a T shirt on it said think takeaways with a 401 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 2: photo of the sculpture the thinker from Rodin on the front. 402 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 10: Certain man, that's what the defense believes in. Right here. 403 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 10: We were down and out and then we started talking 404 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 10: about thinking takeaways. Coach Bob Sutton said, if you want 405 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 10: to become, you know, an effective defense in the league, 406 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 10: we got to take the ball away. So we all 407 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 10: came back this OTAs and this was in our lockers, 408 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 10: think takeaways, and me personally, I want more takeaway you know, 409 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 10: elevate my game, elevate this defense. And you gotta be 410 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 10: thinking it at all time. So you go to sleep 411 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 10: thinking that, you wake up thinking. 412 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 4: It's gonna happen for you. 413 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 10: So we're gonna get more takeaways. I think we was 414 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 10: top ten, top five in the league, maybe maybe number four. 415 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 10: We just went over takeaways. Man, get that ball in hands, 416 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 10: good things happen. 417 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 7: They did it well early in the season. 418 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 2: They went in a low mid season last year, and 419 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 2: they picked it back up in the last month. 420 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 7: Buckie. 421 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 2: But those takeaways they did finish tied for fourth in 422 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 2: the NFL and takeaways last year. That set up success 423 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 2: on the other side of the ball. Full team effort 424 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 2: on defense, yeah. 425 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 4: Four team effort. 426 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 5: It's the number one determined in fact, that who wins 427 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 5: or loses games in the National Football League the winner 428 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 5: of the takeover battle. And so when you talk about 429 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 5: turning it over, everything has to line up. You gotta 430 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 5: talk about it, you gotta practice it, you have to 431 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 5: be obsessed with it, and you not only have to 432 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 5: take it away, but you gotta take it away with 433 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 5: the intent to score. We saw how Josh Allen picking 434 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 5: up that fumble against the Tennessee Titans seal the game change. 435 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 4: However you want to describe it. 436 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 5: It's that stuff ray Sewon Jenkins being able to get 437 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,359 Speaker 5: the pick six against the Cowboys. It's the obsession with 438 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 5: getting the ball, but not only getting the ball, but 439 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 5: turning your. 440 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 4: Defense into offense. 441 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 5: And so when you're a team that plays and lives 442 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 5: on the turnover, you may conceive some yards, but you're 443 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 5: always looking for that opportunity to take the ball away 444 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 5: via force funnel, via pitch off, a tip or overthrow. 445 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 5: All of those things matter. But yeah, like I think 446 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,640 Speaker 5: it has to be the emphasis to take the ball 447 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 5: away because I don't know if as we're presently constructed, 448 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 5: we can be a shut him down defense, but we 449 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 5: certainly can take the ball away. 450 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 4: As people are chasing points. 451 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 5: Due to the prolific nature of the offense, you now 452 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 5: have an opportunity to create more takeaways because when you're 453 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 5: chasing points, you have to put the ball in the air. 454 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 5: That leads the sacks, that leads the interceptions and a 455 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 5: bunch of bad things. 456 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, it probably plays into it, and maybe it's just 457 00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 3: seeing it a different way. I also thought that last year. 458 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 3: I think this sort of the main key as you 459 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 3: go forward, having the belief that you're going to do 460 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 3: it and the self confidence even when things aren't going right. 461 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 3: I mean, there were points last year I thought where 462 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 3: you know, I guess the game again against the Cowboys 463 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 3: where ray Sewan got the pick in the second half 464 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 3: and Dewey Winerd got I think something happened with do 465 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 3: I think he either got a pick or force a fumble. 466 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 3: You know, they were getting rolled in that game defensively, 467 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 3: But they were a defense last year that in some spots, 468 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 3: even when the circumstances would have told them, hey, you 469 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 3: guys aren't very good, they kept sort of believing that 470 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 3: they were and kept believing that they were going to 471 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 3: get a turnover on the next series, even if they 472 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 3: give a touchdown touchdown turnover. That sometimes could wear on 473 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 3: a defense and they'll give up and not really be that. 474 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 3: But I thought the self confidence and a continued belief 475 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 3: that we just have to keep playing hard and the 476 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 3: turnover situations will come. I think it sort of plays 477 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,679 Speaker 3: into what Bucky's talking about. But it was remarkable on 478 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 3: that front. I think that'll be key going forward is 479 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 3: continue to have the belief that they're a good defense 480 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 3: even when the stats the yards don't say it, but 481 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 3: they were third turnovers. 482 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 7: Yeah, so somewhere. 483 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 3: They were good at what they needed to be somehow, 484 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 3: And I think that'll be how they have to play 485 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 3: going forward. 486 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, so I think about playing that so now it 487 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 5: becomes a complimentary approach offensively and defensively. And so if 488 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 5: you are putting more pressure on the offense to say, hey, 489 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 5: we need to be at twenty eight, twenty nine to 490 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 5: thirty points per game, that means defensively, you're building your 491 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 5: defense to play with leads, meaning early in games. And 492 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 5: you saw this a lot when you were with the 493 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 5: Indianapolis Coats. John the Indianapolis coach, with paid Man, they 494 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 5: put fourteen up on you quickly in the first quarter, 495 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 5: and so teams now spend the rest of the game 496 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:57,880 Speaker 5: chasing those points. 497 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 4: So they abandoned their game plan. They don't really run the. 498 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 5: Ball because they're trying to throw the ball, and so 499 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 5: it puts pressure on the frontline, meaning Trayvon Walker, Devin Lloyd, 500 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 5: Josh Allen. They have to updandy when it comes to 501 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 5: the sacks because you have to be able to pressure 502 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 5: the quarterback. And then in the back end you have 503 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 5: to make sure we saw early in the year the 504 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,199 Speaker 5: ball cannot fly over the top of the head. You 505 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 5: have to keep everything in front, and you have to 506 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 5: say that we're going to get our turnovers on tips 507 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,439 Speaker 5: and overthrows. Keep the ball in front, make them lose 508 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 5: their patient because there is in points and the ball 509 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 5: is going to hit you, but then you got to 510 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 5: catch it. And so it's the complement of high powered offense, 511 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 5: take away upsts defense that'll. 512 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 4: Give you an opportunity to win a bunch of games. 513 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 2: Register now for the twenty twenty three Duvall Draft Party 514 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 2: and Daily's Place presented by Donovan Air Electric and Plumbing. 515 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 2: It's Thursday, April twenty seven, seven o'clock free for all 516 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 2: fans live draft analysis, on stage appearances by head coach 517 00:24:55,560 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 2: Doug Peterson and select Jags players, including the quarterback you 518 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 2: just heard from him, Trevor Lawrence.

There's a conversation with Trent 533 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 2: Balky and Doug Peterson. The Jags have the twenty fourth 534 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 2: pick and as a tradition, John, you don't find out 535 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 2: much at all at these events. 536 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 3: Nah, and no GM wants to say a whole lot. 537 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 3: They're good to have because it gives the general management, 538 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 3: head coach a chance to if there are some loose 539 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 3: ends stories that the media is trying to gather, there'll 540 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 3: be information on those topics. It gives Trent a chance 541 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,439 Speaker 3: to be very vague on a lot of different topics 542 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 3: when he's asked. So I don't expect much news out 543 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 3: of it. I'm sure he'll say it's it's it's a draft. 544 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 3: It's a draft where they feel like they can get 545 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 3: a lot of good players. Yeah, and that lets hope 546 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:41,920 Speaker 3: they do. 547 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 2: They're prepared for all possibilities, Bucky, Yeah, I mean you 548 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 2: have to be prepared for all possibilities. 549 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 5: This draft is most of all the draft that we've 550 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 5: seen in terms of just the unpredictable nature of what 551 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 5: is going to happen over the course of next weekend. 552 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 4: And so if you're the. 553 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 5: Jaguars, you have to be ready because some of the 554 00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 5: guys that you have ranked at the top of the board, 555 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 5: they may not be viewed in the same light by others, 556 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 5: and you have to be ready to look at some 557 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 5: of those guys and some of the surprises that may 558 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,879 Speaker 5: happen within the top ten and how it may impact 559 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 5: you in terms of seeing a blue chip player sitting 560 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 5: right there at your face when it's time to pick. 561 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 5: And so they'll go through all the scenarios. Deale talk 562 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 5: about all the different things that could happen, could transpire 563 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 5: your set up some of the trades with calls ahead 564 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 5: of time. But really, when you're picking twenty fourth, you're 565 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 5: picking down at the bottom of each round, you kind 566 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 5: of have to wait and see what happens ahead of 567 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 5: you and then be ready to make some moves when 568 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 5: some of those players that you've targeted come available or 569 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 5: they're close in terms of being within range. 570 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 3: I mean, ask about that Buck. You said something interesting 571 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 3: that players that you have rated high may not be 572 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,159 Speaker 3: viewed the same way by their teams. You talk to 573 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 3: many many more people around the league than we do, obviously, 574 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 3: is that the feel you're getting the like you can 575 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 3: call one team this year and they might have a 576 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 3: guy in the top ten, Another team might have them 577 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 3: X number of spots down. Is there that wide a 578 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 3: variance on how these guys feel about some players? 579 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:10,920 Speaker 4: Well, so the big thing is this year. 580 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 5: In most years, John, they're eighteen to twenty four guys 581 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 5: that would be consensus first round picks, meaning no matter 582 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,400 Speaker 5: what team you went to, if you looked at the board, 583 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,360 Speaker 5: those eighteen to twenty four names. 584 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 4: Would be above the line. 585 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 5: Well, this year, you're probably talking about maybe fifteen blue 586 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 5: chip players. 587 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 4: And so when you have such a small number of blue. 588 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 5: Chip players, you got a bunch of good players, not 589 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,960 Speaker 5: necessarily great players. Well, the league views the good players 590 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 5: in different lights based on your team scheme and cultural 591 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 5: fit in those things. And so because there's such a 592 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 5: wide disparity between player number sixteen and player number forty six, 593 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 5: who knows, sometimes some of those guys we may have 594 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,360 Speaker 5: rated in the forties, they may go eighteen, nineteen twenty 595 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 5: in the first round. And so it just changes everything 596 00:28:58,280 --> 00:28:59,959 Speaker 5: when it comes to looks, and so you have to 597 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 5: nimble h in terms of being able to go, oh, okay, 598 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 5: we had this guy a little lower. 599 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 4: So that means someone good is going to fall to us. 600 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 5: And this year, more than any other year in recent 601 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,479 Speaker 5: history that I can remember, this year, the volatility is 602 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 5: going to lead us to kind of watch a roller 603 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 5: coaster ride starting this Thursday and then there's. 604 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 2: The of course, very important and you know a lot 605 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 2: of eyeballs that watched the top five prospect rankings at 606 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 2: each position by Bucky Brooks. 607 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 7: It's three point zero. 608 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:37,680 Speaker 2: It came out today, and Bucky has shifted at quarterback forever. 609 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 7: He had CJ. 610 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 2: Stroud at number one. Now Bryce Young is the number 611 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 2: one quarterback prospect. 612 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 7: You're you're going with. 613 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 3: The chalk now buckets to maybe how much better he 614 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 3: got in the last month. 615 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 4: Buck he did, he did get better. 616 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 5: But I can go back, and I can pull out 617 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,479 Speaker 5: my notebook in here's the issue that I had, and 618 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 5: this this goes all the way back I had having 619 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 5: played in Green Bay on the wrong Wolf and having 620 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 5: worked under a bunch of guys who is disciples, it 621 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 5: was ingrained in my head that if you draft an exception, 622 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 5: you end up having a team full of exceptions. And 623 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 5: so I was in the league when Drew Brees was 624 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 5: all everything coming out of Purdue. But because he was 625 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 5: right at six foot, no matter how good he was, 626 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 5: we put him at the top of the second round. 627 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 5: And so now fast forward, even though Caller Murray has 628 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 5: shown and Baker Mayfield has shown that you can be 629 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 5: right at that six foot mark and still be a 630 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 5: number one overall pick. Bryce Young's size is unprecedented when 631 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 5: it comes to his frame, and so this debate for 632 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 5: me at quarterback was the prototype versus the performer. 633 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 4: C J. 634 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 5: Stroud is the prototypical quarterback that has played in our 635 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 5: league for the last twenty. 636 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 4: Five to thirty years. 637 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 5: Tall, great arm, mechanics, great pocket presence, throws the ball naturally, 638 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 5: everything is perfect and precise. 639 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 4: Bryce Young is the performer. You can't look through his tape. 640 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:55,920 Speaker 5: There is not a bad game that you can find 641 00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 5: during his time at Alabama, very consistent, high IQ has 642 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 5: some special stuff to him. The only thing that you 643 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 5: can really DM him on is the slender frame. 644 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 4: And so it took a while for me to get 645 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 4: over the fact. 646 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 5: That, Okay, man, you can take a guy that is 647 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 5: this small if they're exceptional when it comes to processing 648 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 5: and intangibles to go with the arm talent, and he 649 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 5: has that, which is what led me to kind of 650 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 5: finally make the move to put Bryce Young over top 651 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 5: of CJ. 652 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 4: Strout. 653 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 2: There you go, Bucky makes a move and they we're 654 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 2: only a week away from the NFL Draft. That's what 655 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:33,000 Speaker 2: happens sometimes it's okay. We'll look for that on NFL 656 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 2: dot com and of course look for all the press 657 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:39,000 Speaker 2: conferences from Trevor Lawrence for you, a little Calvin Ridley 658 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 2: on Jaguars dot com, and Bucky will talk to you 659 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 2: next week before the draft.

There's a lot of buzz and 662 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 5: energy and the scouting community. And you know, the only 663 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 5: thing that's better than the draft JP, what's that, Bucky? 664 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 4: The any camp that follows. I was gonna say, it 665 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 4: is like it is like Christmas. You get a chance 666 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 4: to unwrap the gifts.
