• 1:17
  Speaker 7: this week, big victory.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Big analysis week.
• 1:21
  Speaker 8: Oh, big big analysis this week that went over my
• 1:23
  Speaker 8: workount had too many words.
• 1:25
  Speaker 7: No, No, I'm saying huge win played their best game
• 1:30
  Speaker 7: of the season. We got to find out why from
• 1:32
  Speaker 7: Bucky Brooks.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Bucky why.
• 1:37
  Speaker 8: I think for coaches and for teams, every year there's
• 1:41
  Speaker 8: a point where you read it crossroads and either you
• 1:44
  Speaker 8: go all in or you fall apart because you don't
• 1:47
  Speaker 8: necessarily stick to your beliefs in those things.
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: And I think for Linam Cohn it was a really
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: big week last.
• 1:51
  Speaker 8: Week to you talk all the year about he We're
• 1:54
  Speaker 8: gonna be a tough, physical team, We're gonna be a
• 1:56
  Speaker 8: run heavy team in those things, and now you're sitting
• 1:58
  Speaker 8: at that crossroads where you have to decide is that
• 2:00
  Speaker 8: what you really believe in or do you kind of
• 2:04
  Speaker 8: try and create new things that you believe will help
• 2:07
  Speaker 8: your team at that moment. And against the Charges, a
• 2:09
  Speaker 8: team that was a rough and regged team, a team
• 2:11
  Speaker 8: that few expected the Jaguars to win. They doubled down,
• 2:15
  Speaker 8: They went all into the identity random football. They were physical,
• 2:18
  Speaker 8: they were the more physical team, and on both offensive
• 2:22
  Speaker 8: and defensive lines, they controlled the line of scrimmage. And
• 2:25
  Speaker 8: if you're Liam Kryn, it is exactly what you talked about.
• 2:29
  Speaker 8: It's exactly what you wanted to see, and you walk
• 2:32
  Speaker 8: away with even more confidence that not only that your
• 2:34
  Speaker 8: philosophy is intact, but this team embodies the philosophies that
• 2:38
  Speaker 8: you talked about all all season.
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: This may be completely off off the rails, Bucky, And
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: if it is, I apologize. I don't apologize.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Would you apologize now?
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: But you know, it also seems like Bucky that for
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: the first eight or nine games, they they played to
• 3:00
  Speaker 7: identity in some of them and some of them got
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: away from them. I've always thought sometimes a team needs
• 3:08
  Speaker 7: a reset and a refocused and I think some of
• 3:10
  Speaker 7: this is what you're getting at. Maybe the players too, said,
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: you know what, that is the best way we play.
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: Let's go after that. You know, you know, the offensive
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: line bought in. I know Liam wants the offensive line
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: to be the identity of this team. You know, when
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: you're first putting something together, I think people forget this
• 3:31
  Speaker 7: team hasn't been together for six or seven years where
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: they know exactly in a time of crisis what to
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: fall back on. Yeah, this is who we are. And
• 3:39
  Speaker 7: it did feel like in that game everybody on that
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: team said, you know what, if we're going to be good,
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: we've got to out physical them on defense. We have
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: to be the more physical team. We have to run. Yeah,
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: let's go all in. And it felt like maybe the
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: players went after it more than they ever have or
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: just bought in or whatever. All that is not that
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: they weren't before, but that's how it felt.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: It was kind of the letter rip for the whole team, not.
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: Just a quarterback the JP Shatterick Show.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: The whole team took it off.
• 4:11
  Speaker 8: I mean, I mean, look, I do believe John is
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: dead on. I think sometimes players have a vision for
• 4:19
  Speaker 8: how they think the team should play, and sometimes the
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: coach has to remind them, no, no, no, no no, I
• 4:24
  Speaker 8: understand what all you guys want to do, but for
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: us to win, this is what we need to do.
• 4:28
  Speaker 8: We need to run the football, we need to be physical.
• 4:30
  Speaker 8: We have to embrace this. And you know what I'm
• 4:31
  Speaker 8: gonna do. I'm gonna call the game in such a
• 4:33
  Speaker 8: manner that we stay true to who we are. And
• 4:36
  Speaker 8: sometimes when you're coming in and you have all these
• 4:39
  Speaker 8: thoughts in the off season in terms of, hey, man,
• 4:42
  Speaker 8: we want to play this way, and then midway through
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: the year, which is right where we're at, you're like, no, no, no,
• 4:47
  Speaker 8: we have to play this way for us to win.
• 4:50
  Speaker 8: And I think that was kind of the moment where
• 4:52
  Speaker 8: they're like, no, this is how we have to play.
• 4:54
  Speaker 8: This is how we're going to play, and this needs
• 4:57
  Speaker 8: to be the way that we played the rest of
• 4:58
  Speaker 8: the season in terms of following this approach.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Of course, the Jaguars ran for nearly two hundred yards
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: in the game on what forty seven attempts total as
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: a team, but they also got some critical passes and
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: key moments from Trevor Lawrence, especially in the second half
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: of this game, and there was a lot better execution
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: overall on offense, none of the pre snap stuff anymore,
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: only one penalty for five yards on the day. Trevor
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Lawrence today in his press conference, Hey, wait a minute,
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: there's the risk band out there with all the plays
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: on it.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: What goes into it? For Trevor Lawrence, Here's what he said.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: You can just get calls in faster.
• 5:33
  Speaker 9: Really is all it is, because you got a number
• 5:35
  Speaker 9: on your wristband and then you read it off to
• 5:38
  Speaker 9: the guys instead of you know, calls get pretty long
• 5:41
  Speaker 9: in certain situations. So Liam's got to call it. You's
• 5:43
  Speaker 9: got to get the personnel in. You got to call that.
• 5:45
  Speaker 9: You got to call the play. And then if you
• 5:48
  Speaker 9: miss something and he has to call the play again,
• 5:49
  Speaker 9: and then you're saying this whole long sentence again, and
• 5:51
  Speaker 9: then you're saying it in the huddle, and then you're
• 5:53
  Speaker 9: breaking it instead of just hey, riskband ten and then
• 5:55
  Speaker 9: you go in there, call it to the guys and
• 5:57
  Speaker 9: get out of there. Then you can you have usually
• 6:00
  Speaker 9: five more seconds or so. Something just depends, maybe not
• 6:03
  Speaker 9: that much sometimes, but that's really all it does.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: That's quarterback earlier today, Bucky. So the old Tom Maddy wristband.
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: Bucky who knew that all you needed was a magic wristband.
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: Well, so, I mean, like here's the thing, because you
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: remember John, we sat in that meeting. I feel like
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: in the summertime when Liam talked about the wristband isn't
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: a thing that's hard for the quarterback, but it was
• 6:24
  Speaker 8: hard for him, and he talked about the words having life,
• 6:27
  Speaker 8: like when you're making the call, you visualize each word
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: and kind of see it play out. So for him,
• 6:33
  Speaker 8: he's always been around quarterbacks and they've always done it
• 6:36
  Speaker 8: like that. Well, for Trevor, who is a new school
• 6:38
  Speaker 8: quarterback who has played all these seven or seven things
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: and played in high school probably where they operated off
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: the bend, the bands and the placards and those things,
• 6:46
  Speaker 8: he's more comfortable doing it that way. And at the
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: end of the day, you have to do what the
• 6:51
  Speaker 8: quarterback is most comfortable because he's the one that's playing.
• 6:54
  Speaker 8: And so when Trevor gives that explanation like hey, he
• 6:57
  Speaker 8: tells me, hey, red one, I look down, I flip
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: up the guard, and I go red right twenty two
• 7:02
  Speaker 8: scat hank z hooky, and everyone understands it. We get
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: out the huddle, we get lined up, everyone knows exactly
• 7:09
  Speaker 8: what we're doing. Because the quarterback has more confidence, he says,
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: to play with more confidence. The players play with more
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: confidence because they believe in all the stuff. Look, it
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: may be performed of art, whatever it is, but it
• 7:20
  Speaker 8: works for the quarterbacks who it works for the rest
• 7:22
  Speaker 8: of the group.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Can you tell me explain to me that play you
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: just called oh red right, so.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Red would be.
• 7:30
  Speaker 8: The formation. Right is where you have the strength of it.
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: Twenty two is the protection. Scat is part of the protection.
• 7:35
  Speaker 8: Hank is the route. And then you put a little
• 7:37
  Speaker 8: tag on it like a little z lookier hooky or
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: whatever you want to call it, like those are things
• 7:42
  Speaker 8: that's old West Coast terminology stune.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, digging deep love that.
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: I think, just to clarify for people watching this, the wristband,
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: I think my sense is it'll wind up being a
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: positive that Trevor went without it for a while because
• 8:00
  Speaker 7: the reason he wanted to do it, and he said
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: along that he was the one who really wanted to
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: go without the wristband and maybe Liam's suggestion. I don't
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: know the backstory on that, but that it it has
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: helped him absorb the offense, just like you know, JP,
• 8:19
  Speaker 7: You and I really didn't go to maybe classes in college,
• 8:22
  Speaker 7: but I've heard that how you learn can be you know,
• 8:27
  Speaker 7: absorbing it and then if you know it it, if
• 8:31
  Speaker 7: you have to memorize it rather than you know, taking
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: an open book class, you know it better later. So
• 8:39
  Speaker 7: I do think it will it will benefit Trevor to
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: have gone through that without the riskband. And this is
• 8:46
  Speaker 7: not a case from what he said on Sunday, where
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: the entire offense is sitting on his wrist. It's certain
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: stuff that they want to get out of the huddle quicker.
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: It's more of a time management thing to get the
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: process going quicker than Trevor needing like an open book
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: on the test.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Now you're going to hear that call, repeat the call
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: maybe twice in the huddle. All of a sudden, the
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: play clocks winded down a lot.
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: But I think if you think about the mistakes that
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: we had so many of the pre stamp mistakes, Like
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: we assume that it's all the receivers and the tight
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: ends not getting lined up right, But what if it
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: comes in differently, or what if like Trevor hears something
• 9:26
  Speaker 8: that is incorrect and he says it wrong, and so
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: now that's some of the confusion. The one thing about
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: the risk band, it makes it very very clear, this
• 9:34
  Speaker 8: is the play that we're running, this is how we
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: want to run it, and it eliminates maybe some of
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: the user error that could take place in the huddle.
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: And if Trevor is confident, and it seems like he's
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: very confident in it. I think you just kind of
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: as a coach, you have to kind of suck it
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: up and say, hey, we're going to operate off the wristband.
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Trevor said today. Part of it was, you know
• 9:54
  Speaker 7: if if you miss a call in the headset coming
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: in from the sidelines, and then you kind of have
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: to go go back and say, hey, what was the
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: middle of that or you know, so then you.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Can't go back and talk to him either. He's just
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: gotta replay the whole thing.
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: So, as Bucky said, with this, it's more hey, wristband four. Okay,
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: that's what it is. So it's faster, so it was
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: better pre snap.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: So if then eliminates a little bit of that game
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: of telephone out of the year.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, did I hear?
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Really hear what? I what I thought I heard? Well?
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: You heard two words?
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: Now, so you know how you know how it is
• 10:31
  Speaker 8: to get it all the way around the circle and
• 10:33
  Speaker 8: telephone like people mess it up all the time. And
• 10:36
  Speaker 8: let's be clear, we talked about attention deficit and the
• 10:40
  Speaker 8: short attention spans that we all have.
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: Man, those long calls coming in.
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: It's hard to focus and remember all the information that
• 10:47
  Speaker 8: is then expected to be spewed out to the rest
• 10:49
  Speaker 8: of the squad back in a moment.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: They're not quiet, are they? Would you record? Would you
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: real quick? Are they like John Gruden calls? They're not
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: that crazy, are they? Bucky's it sounds like they.
• 11:02
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it sounds it sounds like they're they're they're very wordy,
• 11:05
  Speaker 8: and remember stacking it.
• 11:08
  Speaker 7: Most coaches come in and kind of say, hey, it's
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: pretty simple. We're just He's like, no, it's complaining.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: We're back in a moment plenty ahead. Let's take a
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: look at the Arizona Cardinals when we return. And if

• 11:42
  Speaker 6: you know, look, you've got to have eyes on him
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: and understand where he is in the formation at all
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: times in terms of casey attached, Is he in the hip,
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: is he in the slot. Is he at one, you know,
• 11:55
  Speaker 6: obviously building a plan around you know, stopping guys like that,
• 11:59

  Speaker 6: looks and present them and make sure that maybe you
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: have some areas in the red area. Whatever it is
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: to double them or take away their best player. That's
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: some things that we're looking at.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: As the head coach William Cohen earlier today discussing Cardinals
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: tight end Trey McBride leads the NFL at least in
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: tight ends with seventy one catches, just over seven hundred
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: yards and seven touchdowns so far, and welcome back. It
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: is huddle up with Bucky Brooks, JP, Shadduckjohn Ozer and Jacksonville.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: Bucky is out in Los Angeles and donate blood and
• 12:32

• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Well, the Cardinals record is what it is.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: They're what three and seven? They are beat up four
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: of their seven captains are uninjured reserve this year. The
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: quarterback has been out, They've gone through a million running backs.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: It feels like, I mean, it's just kind of what
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: it is this year in Arizona. But let's start with
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: the offense here and the Arizona Cardinals. Their bright spot
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: is Trey McBride the tight end with the Kyler Murray out.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: Though Jacoby Brissett has put together some decent numbers. He's
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: never been a big interception guy in his career really,
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: but ten touchdowns, three picks so far, and he said
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: an NFL record with forty seven completions in last week's
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: losing effort. So he leaves the NFL with like three
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: d and fourteen passing yards a game as the starting
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: quarterback this year over the last five weeks, new career
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: high last week. What do you make now, this Arizona
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: offense and especially led by Jacoby Brissett, what do they
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: have to hang their hat on with all these injuries too?
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: Look, man, I think you have to give them a
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: ton of respect.
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: They played in a bunch of competitive games, and one
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: thing that the Jaguars can't do is to exhale normally
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: human nature will tell you have to.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: Have a big win.
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: You want to relax and you take the next game
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: and the next opponent lightly because you feel like you've
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: got it. This to me is an even bigger test
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: than last week was because.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: This, to me will tell me if the Jaguars are.
• 14:15
  Speaker 8: Mature enough to be the team that they want to
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: be in terms of being a playoff contender and eventual
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: title contender. This offense is good because Jacobe, you said it,
• 14:24
  Speaker 8: is going to make sure he takes care of the balls,
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: can get it to the weapons, and the primary weapon
• 14:27
  Speaker 8: is going to be Trade McBride working over the middlefield.
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: And if you think about the issues that we've had,
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: we've got a tough time tracking tight ends and so
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: we have to do a really good job in our
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: zone coverage understanding where he is, making sure we have
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: bodies around him, and then just making sure that we
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: keep the ball in front of rally and tackling space.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: I have nothing to add, but that's bad radio and podcasting,
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: so I'll add something. And it absolutely is a key
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: game for the reasons. Bucky out line. I thought the
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: Seattle game was big earlier this year because it was
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: after the Chiefs, and nobody at the time really knew
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: about Seattle, and you thought, Okay, those are the ones
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: you gotta get that nobody's paying attention to, after the
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: ones that everybody's watching. What I didn't know then was
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: a Seattle in the Rams. Their next two games might
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: have been their best two opponents of the season. So
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: this one is very similar to that. I feel like
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: they found something last week in their identity that if
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: they're a good team, meaning the Jaguars, you can ride
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: the momentum a little bit after that, Go play that way,
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: Go get a couple more wins, get to eight and four,
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: whatever would take you. Now, I don't look ahead and
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: all that, but if you're gonna be an eleven twelve
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: win team, twelve might be out of reach. But you
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: know what I'm saying, a double digit team, these are
• 15:57
  Speaker 7: the ones you gotta get. You can't just get the
• 16:00
  Speaker 7: big ones. You have to tick off a couple of
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: the ones that on paper you ought to get. So, yeah,
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: if you're not going to be an up and down team,
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: you can't go up and down. You had to be consistent. Yeah,
• 16:13
  Speaker 7: I like that. That's when you work with words.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Words are your work well.
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: You know, this is kind of insight you pay for.
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: You know, BUCkies would have been better. It's why his
• 16:21
  Speaker 7: name's on the show. But I'll let Bucky make that better.
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: I mean, if you want to be good, you got
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: to be good, right, That's kind of basically what Johnna's saying.
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: But I mean this is this is a game where
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: if you are a good team and you're taking on
• 16:35
  Speaker 8: a team that, let's just say, everyone says you're supposed
• 16:37
  Speaker 8: to be, then I want to see if we can
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: take care of business right from the jump. This shouldn't
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: be one where I'm I'm biting my nails at the
• 16:44
  Speaker 8: end hoping that we hold on to win it. Mature
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: teams come out and they take care of business. I
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: want to see how far we've come in our developmental
• 16:52
  Speaker 8: process when it comes to that.
• 16:54
  Speaker 5: The Las Vegas game.
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: Which should have been very much like that, I mean,
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: we won on a wing and a prayer at the
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: end where we had to knock down pass. There have
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: been other games where we've had opportunities to just knock
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: people out and we have done it.
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: Cincinnati comes to mind. They're playing with a backup quarterback.
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: We didn't give them our full attention or our best effort,
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: and we lost. So to me, I'm not one that
• 17:15
  Speaker 8: is fearful, but this is a scary game because it's
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: a bit of a trap game just given the circumstances
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: that are there.
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: They playing with a bunch of.
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: Backups, a bunch of unheralded guys that no one has
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: heard of, so we got to make sure. Let's make
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: sure that no one knows who they are after this week.
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: Don't give them a reason to have any light.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: The Cardinals have given up eighty five points over the
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: last two weeks, the most of the Cardinals have given
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: up over two games spans since about two thousand and eight,
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: and the only team this year to do that in
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: consecutive games. So we take a look at the Cardinals
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: defense so far, and they're about what you would expect
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: as well, bottom third or so in total defense, middle
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: of the pack and rushing. There's a lot of names
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: on that list to pop out. The one that really
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: pops out is Kalais Campbell. Of course, Jaguar fans know
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: him for his three seasons here and he's still add
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: a year eighteen in the NFL. Five sacks this year,
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: and then Josh Sweat on the outside has nine sacks
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: this season. What else do they have to offer on defense,
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: especially with some leaders off to the side.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, look, man, this is a hard playing defense.
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: And one of the things that Jonathan Ennon has done
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: is he's got this group.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: To play hard.
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: And you know, they may not be the most talented
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: unit given the injuries in those things, but man, they
• 18:32
  Speaker 8: have a bunch of prideful veterans that a day. When
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: you think about Buddha Baker, Buddha Baker and Jalen Thompson
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: in the second year, those guys are always around the ball.
• 18:41
  Speaker 8: Mac Wilson is very active at the second level, and
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: then they just have a.
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: Way of trying to create pressure.
• 18:47
  Speaker 8: If you don't pay attention, Josh Wett can give you problems.
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: This is not a game where the Jackson just rolled
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: out the balls.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: And thinks that they have it. They need to bring
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: their best game.
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: I want to see if they can take what they
• 18:57
  Speaker 8: learned from their last performance in terms of the prep
• 19:00
  Speaker 8: ration in the process.
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: And build on it.
• 19:02
  Speaker 8: Going on the West Coast and taken on a scrappy
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: Cardinal squad and.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Does the physicality travel I guess.
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, no question for the defensive coordinator. You know,
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: I've come to the belief with the Jaguars, Bucky that
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: as long as they stay out of bad down and distance,
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: meaning play clean, and as long as they're not playing
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: a Seattle rams Houston level front. You know, fronts that
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: can really just you know, take over right the best
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: that these guys are gonna be able to run. I
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: think they can most of the time. This year, they've
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: been able to get running enough to get into what
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: Liam likes to call. So the question is where the
• 19:47
  Speaker 7: Cardinals rank in terms of defensive front. Is this a
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: defensive front that the Jaguar should be able to handle,
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: because there's been a couple you can't. And that's understandable
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: because you can't always handle the best defensive front in
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: this league.
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: Yeah, now they guess and young players, and I think
• 20:02
  Speaker 8: we have to keep an eye on people in the SEC.
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: Well know, Walter.
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: Nolan from Old Miss a guy who is very athletic,
• 20:09
  Speaker 8: very talented. He's someone that can be disrupted. We saw
• 20:11
  Speaker 8: a guy early in the year, Brian Murphy give us
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: issues for the Seattle Seahawks because there's athleticism empowering those
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: things I'm gonna say this, they have a lot of
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: guys that haven't quite popped as stars yet, but they
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: have nice traits and for our offensive line, I feel
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: like for us more than other teams, it's really important
• 20:28
  Speaker 8: that all five are playing on the string.
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: Really locked in and in sync.
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: And when they're playing together and they're connected, they do
• 20:36
  Speaker 8: really well. And so if we stay connected, we're on it.
• 20:39
  Speaker 8: Because the preparation has been good throughout the course of
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: the week and they understand what they're up against, we'll
• 20:43
  Speaker 8: play well. But this is not one where we can
• 20:46
  Speaker 8: kind of cruise through and think that we got this
• 20:49
  Speaker 8: just because it's the Cardinals.
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: We gotta we gotta bring. We need to bring our
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: best effort.
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: This is not specific to Cardinals defense. I'm going a
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: little off track of the show, but it seemed in
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: the second half, Bucky like the offense. You know, you know,
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: the numbers weren't there, But there were some moments with
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: Trevor with Jacobe that it seems like he's starting to
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: like the group around him and feel a little comfortable
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: with him. And I get you need Britain strange back BTJ,
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: but did you feel any comfort did you feel any
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: progress from Trevor in the second half last week.
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: I did, and I think people are understand, like if
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: they go back and watch the game, this game was tight.
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: It was a tight game, you know at halftime. It
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: wasn't like a blowout where they dominated from the jump.
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: They played really well. And I would give Liam a
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: lot of credit because his persistence with the running game
• 21:44
  Speaker 8: eventually allowed the passing game to unlock, because it wasn't
• 21:47
  Speaker 8: really until the second half that the running game really
• 21:49
  Speaker 8: began to take over. And Trevor, to his credit, made
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: a couple of big throws in the second half, and
• 21:55
  Speaker 8: Mayer's working over the middle of the field and being
• 21:57
  Speaker 8: able to throw those darts. We taught like a little
• 22:00
  Speaker 8: lance route, like a little bangate skinny post that he
• 22:02
  Speaker 8: hit on the inside. We saw some other things that
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: were in breaking in traffic that were right on the money,
• 22:08
  Speaker 8: and you hope that he can build off of that, because,
• 22:10
  Speaker 8: let's be honest, the first half started out a little shaky,
• 22:13
  Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying. You had an interception, gues,
• 22:15
  Speaker 8: some misfires and those things. What the running game did
• 22:19
  Speaker 8: it allowed him to ease into the game without the
• 22:22
  Speaker 8: pressure of having to be the star quarterback from the jump, Andy,
• 22:26
  Speaker 8: I'd be afforded that opportunity. So Trevor and the wide
• 22:28
  Speaker 8: receivers they have to continue to get better when it
• 22:30
  Speaker 8: comes to developing that chemistry.
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: But yeah, you like what.
• 22:33
  Speaker 8: You saw from this offense in the second half, regardless
• 22:35
  Speaker 8: of what the number said at the end.
• 22:37
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I thought the throw Bucky that you referred to
• 22:40
  Speaker 7: wrapped around a couple of others right around that time
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: when they were up fifteen. It made me really want
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: to watch in the next couple of games his relationship
• 22:52
  Speaker 7: with Jakobe Myers and how that's going to make him better.
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: There seemed a couple of trust throws that I think,
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: considering Jacoby his reputation for being on the spot for trust,
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: Trevor needs guys he can trust. I mean, and I'm
• 23:10
  Speaker 7: gonna say trust these guys.
• 23:12
  Speaker 8: It'd be interesting because we've had this conversation before we
• 23:14
  Speaker 8: had it last week. I think we talked about twenty
• 23:16
  Speaker 8: twenty two and Marvin Jones and Jay Jones and Christian
• 23:19
  Speaker 8: Kirk and how they may not have been like household
• 23:22
  Speaker 8: names or headliners, but they were so good for Trevor
• 23:24
  Speaker 8: because they were reliable dependable, they had the right spot,
• 23:28
  Speaker 8: They did things exactly how it was drawn up, and
• 23:30
  Speaker 8: it made it very comfortable for him. And I'm gonna
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: say this because I know Jacoby Myers and I feel
• 23:34
  Speaker 8: like Parker Washington has begun has started to really earn
• 23:37
  Speaker 8: that trust. But look, man, little tram Will coming in
• 23:40
  Speaker 8: there early in the game making a big play. And
• 23:42
  Speaker 8: I know, like you talked about a guy that kind
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: of floats up and down and that stuff, and BTJ
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: is coming, But I just believe at some point you're
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: gonna put the most trusted guys on the field, and
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: there's certainly a spot for Brian Thomas Junior to be
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: a major contributor.
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: But I'm gonna say this like that trust is gonna.
• 24:01
  Speaker 8: Have to be earned when they throw it to him
• 24:03
  Speaker 8: and when they call his number, he's gonna have to
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: be in the right spot and he's gonna have to
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: make the play when they call upon him to make
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: the play. If not, we're at the point where you
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: have to play the best players, and the best players
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: are not quite the most talented players, but the ones
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: that are gonna give you exactly what you see in practice,
• 24:20
  Speaker 8: it's gonna carry over to what they do in the game.
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: And he already does trust Britain strange, and all of
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: a sudden you've got potentially three guys that he really trusts.
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: That's when it could get interesting.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: I trust you, I trust you, John Well.
• 24:34
  Speaker 7: I appreciate that.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: I trust Bucky too.
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah, both of you guys.
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: Back in a moment, I will take a look at
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: the defensive coverage of the game ahead of this Jaguars Cardinals.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Matchup in week twelve.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: This is huddle up with Bucky Brooks.
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: The individual success is extremely important to us.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: It is like you.
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: Want every play there to get what they truly at
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: the end of that they deserve and and and earn.
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: And you want guys to get paid as much as
• 25:07
  Speaker 6: you can. I mean, you want that for them, and
• 25:10
  Speaker 6: but so often it has to just come back to
• 25:13
  Speaker 6: the team first and ultimately, well, everything we're trying to
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: do is is you know, do that put the team
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: first and protect the team and give ourselves the best
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: chance to go win on Sunday.
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: Head coach Liam Cohen earlier today full press conference at
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube ahead of this Chargers
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: excuse me, that was last week the Jaguars are playing
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: the Cardinals win the windshields bigger than me looking.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: What's worse?
• 25:43
  Speaker 7: Looking too far ahead or looking back?
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Man guilty at charged?
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: I take you welcome into That's.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Great, Johnny.
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: So next week, this coming week, the Jaguars the Cardinals
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: coming up, and then a few weeks away Sunday, December seventh,
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: the Jaguars be going to look at he look way ahead.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: The Jaguars returned to the Bank for a massive Division
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: showdown against the Colts. It is more than just a game,
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: it's a statement. The Jags are back home. They're gonna
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: turn up the heat of the iconic Prowler throwbacks again.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: Kick off one o'clock for now. See if they FlexIt
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: packed the bank and make it loud. Jaguars dot Com
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: slash tickets are called nine oh four six three three
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: two thousand. That's December seventh.
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: You gotta play your way into that being huge.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: That could be huge. It could be it could be massive.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: In fact, let's take a look at the defensive coverage
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: of the game, presented by g eh A Government Employees
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: Health Association Benefits for federal employees and retirees. And we
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: take another look at what the Jags did last week defensively,
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: not a huge tackle.
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: Numbers because they weren't on the field too often.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, the Jags defense did a great job staying
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: off the field getting the quarterback. And then on the
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: back end, they had four guys they had asked to
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: contribute and fix the secondary this offseason they added that
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: were not available in the game. Two are done for
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: the season, and the veteran guys Lewis and Eric Murray unavailable.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: Then they lost Newsome during the game as well. So
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: you had a lot of action from a guy like
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: Christian Braswell stepping in to play, and that kind of
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: tells you about the depth chart and what they believe
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: in some of these young guys. And a lot of
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: these young guys, especially on the offensive side, and even
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: the defensive ends who aren't listed here, the young defensive
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: ends had impact plays, earning an opportunity and then when
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: it comes expanding on that opportunity and playing well.
• 27:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Christian Braswell played really real. We talked about Strigo
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: and Green because Green had a sack that you know,
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: I mean, come on, but Strigo had a half a sack.
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: So you talk about those guys a lot. Christian Braswell
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: came in and played really well, and so you do
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: wonder I think Jordan Lewis has a shot of being
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: back this week. If not, you sort of wonder if
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: they'll up Braswell's time a little bit.
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: But yeah, I think what's interesting about the young guys
• 28:02
  Speaker 8: that stepped in because there's a few guys like Braswell
• 28:05
  Speaker 8: and some others that popped in and played prominent roles.
• 28:08
  Speaker 8: They had to simplify the defensive game plan because they
• 28:10
  Speaker 8: had so much uncertainty about who was going to play
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: and I wanted to do they stay with a simplified
• 28:14
  Speaker 8: game plan to do it. Because the one thing that
• 28:17
  Speaker 8: showed up last week defensively, they're back to playing fast.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: They were physical.
• 28:21
  Speaker 8: We didn't see the coverage, bust and those things, so
• 28:24
  Speaker 8: you didn't see the big plays. There may be something
• 28:27
  Speaker 8: to it, and while the young guys certainly deserve credit
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: for stepping up, I think the coaches did a really
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: good job of scaling things that scaling things.
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: Back and making it easy for the players.
• 28:36
  Speaker 8: Let's see if they can do it and allow those
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: young guys to continue to get better because they're asking
• 28:40
  Speaker 8: them to do the same things over and over again,
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: and not necessarily building upon the game plan. They're just
• 28:46
  Speaker 8: getting more repetitions at a familiar game plan.
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah. I thought part of the key too on Sunday
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: was we've talked Bucky a lot this year about as
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: long as the defense could keep stopping the run, you
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: figure that there were big it would be a lot
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: of games where they gave themselves a chance because if
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: you stop the run, you can have a chance to
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: get the quarterback. That's been consistent for them all year.
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: I can't really remember a game where you have felt, man,
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: they just could not get off the field when the
• 29:16
  Speaker 7: other team wanted to run. So I think as long
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: as they keep doing that, you're gonna be able to
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: be in in most games with a chance. So I
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: still think that bodes well for them coming down in
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: the last five or six games, the consistencies they have
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: shown there, and maybe they get something out of Strigo
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: and Green to the tune of a little meaningful pressure,
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: which I don't know that I expected that to happen
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: in Week one, because it's it can be hard for
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: rookie free agents, as talented as they are. It can
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: be tough for them to matter, and all of a sudden,
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: they're starting to matter a little bit, which might give
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: them a tick up in the pass rushing in key situations.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Good to see you on the defensive side for the Jaguars.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: We'll see what can do this week against the Arizona Cardinals.
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: Jacobe Brussette. It's a lot of backup players in the
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: old line and the running back room, but they've still
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: got the tied end. We're back in a moment and
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: we'll take a look at the AFC playoff picture. The
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: Jaguars are on the graphic. They're very high up on
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: the graphic compared to years past. We'll dig into it
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: and look at the remaining schedule to come and is
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: huddle up with Bucky.
• 30:22
  Speaker 9: Brooks honest and upfront. I think he's he's just kind
• 30:32
  Speaker 9: of gets right to it whatever he's feeling or wants
• 30:35
  Speaker 9: to say, and not in a bad way, just is
• 30:38
  Speaker 9: very honest, up front, communicates. It's you can tell that
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: communicating is really important to him and he wants to there.
• 30:43
  Speaker 9: He doesn't want there to be any mixed messages. So
• 30:45
  Speaker 9: I think that's the biggest thing.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: And then.
• 30:49
  Speaker 9: I got talked about too, how passionate he is, the way.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: He approaches the game.
• 30:52
  Speaker 9: I mean, you can see how much he cares about,
• 30:54
  Speaker 9: how much he puts into it, and it means something
• 30:56
  Speaker 9: to him. So I think that makes guys, you know,
• 30:58
  Speaker 9: want to play for him. And then we talked about
• 31:00
  Speaker 9: is relatable. I think just the way he talks to players,
• 31:03
  Speaker 9: and he's always talking to guys. He's he's not just
• 31:05
  Speaker 9: off by himself kind of you know, stand in the
• 31:07
  Speaker 9: corner watching practice like he's involved all the time. And
• 31:11
  Speaker 9: I think that's something that guys appreciate, is him keeping
• 31:14
  Speaker 9: the conversation going consistently.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: Welcome back. It is a Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: That was quarterback Trevor Lawrence and the relatability of the
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: head coach to his team so far, Liam Cohen and
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks is brought to you by
• 31:29

  Speaker 3: Go to Fieldsauto dot com.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: Yes, the Jaguars are in the AFC playoff picture currently
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: the number seven seed in the AFC Playoffs.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: If it ended today, it will not end today.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: Division leaders Denver, New England, Indy and Pittsburgh won through
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: four seeds. The wild card teams at the moment the Bills, Chargers,
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: and Jaguars. We'll see if the Bills can overtake the
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: Patriots point in the AFC East and see what the
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: Jaguars can do down the stretch to try to walk
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: down the Colts in the hunt teams. Yes, the Texans
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: are still in it, unfortunately because of the Jaguars lost.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: In the fourth quarter a couple of weeks ago.
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: The Chiefs, well, they might be finding the right time
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: to get right. Don't ever count them out until they're out.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: They might not win the division this year, but they
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: could get in. Ravens are coming on strong. They've got
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: pretty much full health. And the Yes, the Miami Dolphins
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: are on the graphic. I don't know how long that
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: will last.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Buck.
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: Look at the Dolphins. Their schedule shapes up. They could
• 32:36
  Speaker 7: easily get back in it if they're playing as well
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: as like the last two games would indicate, which is okay,
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: you know, but their schedule allows them to get back
• 32:48
  Speaker 7: in it if they're playing above average.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: Is Denver real, Bucky, Yeah, we gonna find out.
• 32:53
  Speaker 8: And a month or so, I real they are. They're
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: real because their defense is rock solid. Man, they can
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: get after the past leader league in sacks. They do
• 33:01
  Speaker 8: it in a very creative fashion. Last year they used
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: to blitch you to death. Now they're doing a lot
• 33:05
  Speaker 8: of simulated pressures where they're bringing for but it's coming
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: from the second level, and then they're playing coverage behind it,
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: and they're doing it without the reigning defensive Player of
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: the Year pastser Ten on the perimeter. It's a really
• 33:15
  Speaker 8: really good team Offensively. They can sputter a little bit,
• 33:18
  Speaker 8: but they'd do just enough bo Nick's five game winning
• 33:21
  Speaker 8: drives for for the comebacks.
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: Gotta take them as a Bible threat.
• 33:25
  Speaker 7: Yeah, this week's interesting for the Jags. The Texans play
• 33:30
  Speaker 7: the Bills. Bills and the Chiefs play the Colts. Both
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: of those games you could say, Okay, you want the
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: Bills to knock out the Texans, you know, and oh boy,
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: you want the Chiefs to beat the Colts. Okay, you do,
• 33:51
  Speaker 7: but it also is not going to necessarily hurt the
• 33:56
  Speaker 7: like the Jags might also want the Chiefs out, and
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: they also might want the text.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: You know, I think the rest of the league wants
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: the Chiefs out.
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: The way well, because the Jags are a game up
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: on the Chiefs, but if they.
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: Got a tiebreaker, they had the tiebreaker, right because right,
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: so if.
• 34:13
  Speaker 7: You put the Chiefs one more game back, now you're
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: two and a half up on them. So if you're
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: rooting for the Chiefs to beat the Colts, you better
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: go beat the Colts in a couple of weeks, right
• 34:26
  Speaker 7: or you know so, I guess my point is, right
• 34:28
  Speaker 7: now you're at the stage where just go in your
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: games and the other stuff. You can start worrying about
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: other scenarios in the last three weeks. It it's probably
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: too early to confidently root for against other AOC teams.
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: That's not too early. I mean, like, I'm gonna sit
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: here and.
• 34:48
  Speaker 7: Look, Okay, who do you want then? Do you want
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: the Colts to the Chiefs to win?
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: Oh? I wanted to.
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: I want the Chiefs to win because I'm a head
• 34:56
  Speaker 8: and T shirt guy. I want to get a head
• 34:57
  Speaker 8: and T shirt. I want to I want I want
• 34:59
  Speaker 8: to championship T shirt. Like, yeah, I want a division
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: championship thing. And we can't get that, Like you don't
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: get anything for the wildcard two years ago, three years ago,
• 35:07
  Speaker 8: whenever we went to the Wildcard.
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: There was nothing.
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: I don't remember getting a T shirt or nothing like
• 35:11
  Speaker 8: I would have had in the T shirt.
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: I want to be on the share when it passed
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: like that, that's a part of it.
• 35:18
  Speaker 8: So if it then prevents the Jags from having to
• 35:23
  Speaker 8: sweep them to win the division, so I would rather that,
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: Like I'm thinking about the cushion so much, like we
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: have the tiebreaker over the Chiefs and then I mean,
• 35:30
  Speaker 8: let's be honest, I'll never root harder for the Buffalo
• 35:32
  Speaker 8: Bills than the way that I'm a roote on Thursday.
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: Night, Like we need them to dispatch the Texans. We
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: need them to kind of put a stake in them.
• 35:40
  Speaker 7: But then if the Texans win and the Jags win,
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: then you're ahead of the Bills.
• 35:46
  Speaker 5: I'm not really worried about it.
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: Don't worry about the Bills.
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: Not not.
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: Worried about the Bills are going to be because I
• 35:55
  Speaker 8: feel that they're gonna they're gonna be in regardless, like
• 35:58
  Speaker 8: I can put voodoo dolls and all that around. I'm
• 36:01
  Speaker 8: more worried about them doing some of our work that
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: you have done a few weeks ago.
• 36:05
  Speaker 7: Oh gotcha. I agree with you, guys, it's just when
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: you're in it with seven games to go, just go
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: win your games. I mean, yeah, the Jaguars goes seven
• 36:16
  Speaker 7: and oh, you don't have to worry about any of this.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: It's true.
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: Main thing. The main thing is just to get to
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: ten one more games.
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: See I would rather get to thirteen, but Bucky satisfied
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: to ten. So that's how we are around it.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: By the way, we mentioned that the Colts game in
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: a few weeks December seventh, there's a possibility that could
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: get flexing. The rules are twelve days out for Sunday
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: Night football flexing. The uh that Sunday night game right
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: now is Texans at Chiefs, and then the four to
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: twenty five games are the Rams of the Cardinals and
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: the Bengals.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: At the Bills.
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: So those are possibilities of maybe shuffling around. If Colts
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: Jaguars is for the division lead or whatever. The Monday
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: night game is probably not getting flexed out the Eagles
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: at the Chargers, so good luck with that one.
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: So Jags win this one, get to seven and four Colts.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: It's still the Chiefs and it's still the Bills, and.
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: Mid season the league flexing Indie and Jacksonville the Sunday night.
• 37:22
  Speaker 7: I wonder if they're ready, how much fun?
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: Would that be?
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: Fantastic? And they probably should if that's the scenario, would
• 37:29
  Speaker 7: they I wonder.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: We'll see I hope so. But the only reason I
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: don't your love.
• 37:37
  Speaker 7: Night times don't lie for the fans.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's nice, that's nice of you.
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: John.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: All right, So the Jaguars and the Cardinals. It's Mountain
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: time zone game, so two hours behind the East Coast.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: The Jaguars have not beaten the Cardinals in a long,
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: long time. Two thousand and five. I believe the last time. Yeah,
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: that's the last time has happened. The Cardinals have won
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: four straight. Jack del Rio was the coach Byron left
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: which the quarterback for the Jags. Dennis Green was the
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: head coach of Arizona. Kurt Warner of the quarterback for
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: the Cardinals.
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: Then when was the last time we played them? Yeah?
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: A few years ago, Yeah, earlier.
• 38:16
  Speaker 7: I know you've shut that out.
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: Remember he called him the Phoenix Cardinals all week?
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: You don't remember that.
• 38:22
  Speaker 5: Way I called it. There's no way I called him
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: urban did? Oh? Urban did?
• 38:28
  Speaker 8: I was like, I was like, there's no way I
• 38:29
  Speaker 8: called it, I was like, holy, that is.
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah. He this speaks to it's kind of what it is. Preparation.
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: Bucky. Have a great.
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: Railed end.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: On that note, a great week.
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: Oh we're gonna have a great week. It's gonna be
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: an even better week than it was last week.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: Okay, love that.
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: Just when Bucky brokes out of here, John Osram, JP Shadwick,
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: beautiful sunset here and Jacksonville's the Jaguars begin preparations to
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: head west to face the Cardinals. Thanks to our entire crew,
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: and thanks to you for watching Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks.
