  Speaker 2: Miller Electric Center, fresh out of the locker room for
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: the first time this week. Bucky books Bucky brooks By
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: now I should know his name is in Los Angeles.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Good afternoon, Bucky. How are you? What's going on?
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Guys?
• 1:18
  Speaker 5: How are we feeling?
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: We're great, We're feeling that is great.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, how are you feeling?
• 1:24
  Speaker 7: I mean, I've been better, but I'm trying to be optimistic.
• 1:27
  Speaker 7: I'm trying to smile through it all, trying to hope
• 1:30
  Speaker 7: that we can go one to know this week can't
• 1:32
  Speaker 7: really go one to notice, well, I guess we can't
• 1:34
  Speaker 7: get Sunday's in the day, Yeah, triangle one notice week.
• 1:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's uh. I've written a couple of
• 1:40
  Speaker 8: times and talk to people this week, and there's we
• 1:45
  Speaker 8: have to do a huddle up today.
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: I get that, but.
• 1:49
  Speaker 8: Sometimes there's not that much to say. We'll say it anyway,
• 1:54
  Speaker 8: but they's got to play better and start making you know,
• 2:02
  Speaker 8: start making plays the same stuff we've said for eight
• 2:04
  Speaker 8: weeks now.
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: At some point in this league, you got to go
• 2:07
  Speaker 6: do it.
• 2:07
  Speaker 8: And I guess my analysis, my analysis will get better
• 2:11
  Speaker 8: as the show goes on. But right now, that's what
• 2:13
  Speaker 8: I got, and it's it's frustrating because I think fans
• 2:16
  Speaker 8: are seeing it. Coaches are seeing it, players are seeing it,
• 2:18
  Speaker 8: and now.
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: You got to do it and when does that happen?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: And Doug said it it is a zoom interview with
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the media yesterday. Bucky, you know enough of the raw
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Ross speeches. We've heard all that before.
• 2:31
  Speaker 8: You know, and that's where we sort of feel it too, right,
• 2:35
  Speaker 8: raw Ross speech is the coaches version. We're talking it,
• 2:38
  Speaker 8: and you feel like you're sort of repeating yourself. So
• 2:40
  Speaker 8: you feel and I wish I had something else to say,
• 2:44
  Speaker 8: maybe Bucky does you know?
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Bucky, he's on an NFL network for a reason.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: What you got, Bucky? Get us out?
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: Well? Well what I what I would say is look
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: man like.
• 2:54
  Speaker 7: I think Doug kind of capped it up when he
• 2:56
  Speaker 7: said we had to get done with all the robber
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: and you're talking at some point you to play, and look,
• 3:02
  Speaker 7: it's about the players playing. We could talk about coaching,
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: we talked about can they make better plans in those things,
• 3:07
  Speaker 7: but I would say before anything turns around, the players
• 3:09
  Speaker 7: have to play better. I can't say that they're getting
• 3:12
  Speaker 7: beat because they have faulty game plans and those things.
• 3:14
  Speaker 7: I can say that they're getting beat because their best
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: players aren't playing at a high level, from number sixteen
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: the quarterback, to the offensive line Cam Robinson and Anton
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: Harrison specifically to the defensive line not being able to
• 3:28
  Speaker 7: get a pass rush. The Jaguars have a lot of
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: like hopes and dreams tied into their star players, and
• 3:34
  Speaker 7: their star players aren't delivering.
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I had, Yes, that's what it is.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Ho the bove.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, let's touch on the defense and the zero
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: pressure part of this thing. I mean they got one
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: quarterback hit on Josh Allen and I get it, Bucky,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: he gets the ball out fast.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: That's the way it's designed.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: They run the ball some, Alan ran and did some things,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: but they touched him one time in the pocket, and
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: that was Mason Smith, who was inactive the week before.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of money up front for only touch
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: in the quarterback one time.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: I don't care who it is.
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that's the problem. And you know, watching
• 4:10
  Speaker 7: it field level, it looked like Josh Allen was playing
• 4:13
  Speaker 7: seven on seven. It was almost like the pass rush
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: was nonexistent in terms of how he was looking at
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: the field and didn't even feel them, and if he
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: did feel them, it was because he was toying with them.
• 4:24
  Speaker 7: I felt like we were the invitee on homecoming and
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: like we were just like a directional school coming to play,
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: coming to get our money and get whooped.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: And that's what happened.
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: And because we didn't produce a pass rush, because they
• 4:37
  Speaker 7: did a really good job.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: I would say this. They did a really good job.
• 4:40
  Speaker 7: Game planning and attacking the man demands game doing some
• 4:43
  Speaker 7: unique things where they put the tide end outside of
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: the flanker and the running back outside so they could
• 4:48
  Speaker 7: get a run.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: They can get a man's own key.
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: And then they've motioned and put people in weird spots
• 4:54
  Speaker 7: and so now you got linebackers outside, DB's inside and
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: everyone is uncomfortable. They just just did really good job
• 5:00
  Speaker 7: of look creating and exploiting mismatches. And it really allowed
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: Josh Allen to have a great day because upfront they
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: couldn't win.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: They just couldn't win upfront.
• 5:10
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and I said all off season, I thought the
• 5:13
  Speaker 8: key to this defense, whatever else we were talking about,
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: with the rotation, the secondary, paying Tyson, all these things,
• 5:23
  Speaker 8: the four guys up front, Hamilton, the three defensive ends
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: for this defense to have been improved, no matter the coordinator.
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: Those four guys had to be dominant, and you paid
• 5:34
  Speaker 8: Eric Armstead to come in here, you drafted Trayvon Walker
• 5:38
  Speaker 8: and paid Josh Allen, drafted me in the top ten.
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: You know, when you looked at the roster compared to
• 5:44
  Speaker 8: other rosters, that's elite level stuff. And those four had
• 5:51
  Speaker 8: to be winning things and making other teams uncomfortable. And
• 5:56
  Speaker 8: if they didn't, this wasn't gonna be a good defense.
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: And they don't done Monday, and it wasn't a good defense.
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: So I guess, you know, I'm sad that I was right,
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: But I mean, Bucky, is this is that a one
• 6:13
  Speaker 8: game thing? Can these guys? I get it can't be
• 6:17
  Speaker 8: just for it, But you know what I'm saying about
• 6:19
  Speaker 8: that those are your elite studs on that side of
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: the ball. And when you have four elite studs like that,
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: you expect to look at an offense and the other
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: offense will be disheveled.
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: At times. Other offenses haven't felt all that disheveled to
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: me this year.
• 6:36
  Speaker 7: No, I'm really surprised because I'm going back and I'm
• 6:38
  Speaker 7: looking at my trusted little notebook that we always have
• 6:41
  Speaker 7: when we're doing the podcast, and we're doing anything Jacks related,
• 6:45
  Speaker 7: and I'm looking at like why Dug Peterson decided to
• 6:48
  Speaker 7: play the starters later, I've got all the quotes and
• 6:51
  Speaker 7: Ryan Nilson, anybody anytime anywhere. They felt like they had
• 6:54
  Speaker 7: a tough camp. They felt like, you know, fewer words,
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: more actions. They want to be a physical team and
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: do what we're good at and.
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: All these things.
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: And it's funny because I'm looking at all these things,
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: including the preseason stars, Parker Washington, Tank Bigsby, and none
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: of that stuff that we've talked about has come to fruition.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Now it's not too late for it to do. But
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: like the team hasn't been a physical.
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: Team, they aren't necessarily doing things that that map their
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: their words. Like the words have been positive, like they've
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: been everything that you want to hear from the locker room,
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: but the actions don't display that's there's some kind of disconnect.
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: And right now what I see as a team that
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: is lacking confidence.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: And it's weird because it's always the chicken or the
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: egg debate.
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: Do you start believing before you do or do you
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: do didn't you start believing? Right now, the Jaguars need
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: something good to happen so they can believe that they
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: can be a good team.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: And then on the offensive side of the ball, we'll
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: touch on that a little deeper here in a moment.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: That's a whole different issue altogether, which we will take
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: an entire segment to get to.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Coming up. There's a lot going on around the Jaguars quickly, though.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: You spent a little more time than I did in
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: the locker room just a moment ago. There weren't many
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: guys in there yet when I had to leave, but
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: anybody else kind of that.
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: You Evan Ingram is in there talking a little bit,
• 8:11
  Speaker 8: and I think you were in there for that. He's
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: he's he's one. I would phrase him like this. He
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: wants to be optimistic about Sunday. He's saying he's optimistic.
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: I don't necessarily know how realistic that he's realistic.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: He plays Sunday will see you hope.
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: So he talked a lot about leadership, and you know, uh,
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: the problem with that is it's really hard in this
• 8:34
  Speaker 8: league to lead from the sidelines. He's very you know,
• 8:38
  Speaker 8: he's gonna say the right things, send the right message.
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: A great guy, but it's hard if you're not playing.
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: Christian Kirks, you know, said what you'd expect. It sort
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: of circles back to sa at the top of the show.
• 8:49
  Speaker 8: All these guys this week, I expect them to They
• 8:52
  Speaker 8: know what they need to do. They know that it's
• 8:55
  Speaker 8: about putting the past behind them, doing the things, sticking
• 9:01
  Speaker 8: to the plan, because there's the only thing you can't do.
• 9:03
  Speaker 8: You can't rip up the plan at this point because
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: you spend all the season with the plan. You can't
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: just change course. They've got to play better. They got
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: to make plays when it matters. They have to not
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: make key mistakes and key situations. I don't necessarily think
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: the Buffalo game defines the season, but even in the
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: first couple, you know, they weren't making the big plays
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: at the big moments. Some we've been talking about for
• 9:24
  Speaker 8: basically two months, going back to Cincinnati last year. They
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: know what they have to do, and I'm convinced they're
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: all going to say it because they know it. As
• 9:34
  Speaker 8: Christian said, what we're saying during the weekenow, it doesn't matter.
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: We have to go play and we have to go
• 9:40
  Speaker 8: win the game. They played really well last time they
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: were in Houston. They did latch onto that JP.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: It's been a while though.
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: That was really the last time they played well.
• 9:52
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well I shouldn't say they played well against Cincinnati
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: and then it sort of went haywire at the end
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: because of some circumstances. But beyond that, that's the last time.
• 10:00
  Speaker 8: So uh, maybe channel that NRGC NRG magic. That's what
• 10:07
  Speaker 8: I got, buck, Yeah, NRG magic where we are bucky.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: Well, not like it.
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: Look, I think everyone is so funny because like the
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: words that are heard in the locker room, Hey man,
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: we need to play with pride and those things like
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: those are not comments that are normally made until like
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: the very.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: End of the year, not week three.
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: Not a man, we gotta fight, we gotta do whatever,
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: Like we're not looking at the scoreboard. Who gives effort,
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: who runs to the ball, who finishes blocks?
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: We're gonna ride with those who play the hardest.
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: It's not great when you're already at that stage of
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: it where you just don't have any other verbal stuff
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: to offer the team that you're just talking about, like, man,
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: we gotta get after, we gotta play hard, we gotta
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: be physical. All those things those should be day one
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: install conversations punning ahead.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: That we are moving on to Houston and we'll get
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: into the quarterback play for the Jacksonville Jaguars from Trevor Lawrence.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Are you double enough to become the Jaguar Is twenty

  Speaker 2: twenty fourth Fan of the Year and earn a trip

  Speaker 2: huddle up with Bucky Brooks.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: How they unfold, how these games go early and down
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: the stretch. So I feel like this not just myself,
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: this group, for the for the majority of us. We've
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: played together, you know, for a few years now, so
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: we've we've been through a lot and I think it
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: will help us.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: But we got to use it and we got to
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: move forward.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: And it's a long season. And I don't say that
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: to say we have time to waste, because we surely
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: don't anymore, but saying that is it is a long
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: season and we've been in We've been in a worse
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: spot than this before and we found a way out
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: of it. And I got full faith we're gonna do
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: the same. But you know, we gotta go prove it.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: So excited for that opportunity.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: That opportunity coming up Sunday at NRG Stadium in Houston,
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: the Jaguars in the Houston Texans coming up.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Welcome back.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: It's tuddle up with Bucky Brooks, J P. Shaddick, John
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Oser at the Hounday Studios, the Miller Electric Center in Jacksonville,
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks in Los Angeles, California.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: All right, so the urgency there.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: The Jaguars have started zwing four five times in franchise
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: history ninety five of course, three twenty thirteen, and fourteen
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: and then twenty twenty one. Four of those five were
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: with a first year head coach. They are trying to
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: avoid that this week in Houston. It starts with that
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: guy right there at number sixteen, Trevor Lawrence and the performance.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Overall.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: We've talked a lot about what a franchise quarterback needs
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: to be able to do to elevate his team when
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: all other things are breaking down around him. Is he
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: that guy to take that next step? Didn't show it
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: on Monday, and you can argue hasn't shown it in
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: a little while, Bucky.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: So how does he turn the corner?
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: I hope that while he was watching the game on Monday.
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: I hope that he can kind of take some of
• 13:12
  Speaker 7: the things that Josh Allen was doing and just kind
• 13:15
  Speaker 7: of let his game kind of.
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: Be like that.
• 13:18
  Speaker 7: And what I mean is, when I was watching the
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: game on Monday, it kind of reminded me of the
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: movie Top Gun.
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: And so in Top Gun you have Maverick, who is.
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: Kind of the care free, almost reckless spirit that just
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: kind of goes for it and doesn't really think about
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: the consequences of his action when he plays. And then
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: you have Ice, who is a little more analytical, very pragmatic,
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: as he thinks about everything and maybe overthinks everything. To me,
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: those are the two guys that played on Monday. Josh
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: Allen is care free, just going having fun or whatever,
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: and Trevor is kind of walking around with the weight
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: of the world on the shoulders, trying to be perfect.
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: And what I would like Trevor to do is and man,
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: just cut it loose and even if it's one of
• 14:01
  Speaker 7: those games where you throw three interceptions or whatever, I
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: would just like to see him just be care free
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: and aggressive, letting it rip, as opposed to trying to
• 14:11
  Speaker 7: be the perfect thing.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: And I think sometimes what happens is when.
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: Young guys get that second contract, that big contract, they
• 14:18
  Speaker 7: feel like they have the weight of the world in
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: terms of you were thinking it would lighting up because
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: they'd got in the bag, but really the weight of expectation.
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: They feel like they have to prove to everybody why
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: I've earned the deal.
• 14:31
  Speaker 7: And I would like him to just be like, hey, man,
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: I don't care, I'm gonna let it go. I would
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: like dugging them to encourage him, Man, take risks, be daring,
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: go for it, and then we can bring you back
• 14:40
  Speaker 7: down to the mean, because that's how Josh Allen kind
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: of progressed over his time in Buffalo. And when I
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: look at them, I see guys who have similar skill sets,
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: not exactly the same, but similar enough where they should
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: be able to do the same things on the field.
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: But I don't feel like Trevor plays with the confidence,
• 14:58
  Speaker 7: the swag, or the the carelessness or care free spirit
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: that Josh Allen plays with.
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: You just don't want to be goose because it didn't
• 15:08
  Speaker 8: you know, you start off well young meg Rian and
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: then didn't didn't go that way. But uh, you know, yeah,
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: I mean it's so tough to analyze with Trevor right now,
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: because so so much is going on. I want to
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: be the guy to say, hey, young quarter, I mean
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: not young quarter of franchise guy just has to lift
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: everything around him. I find that that is sometimes a
• 15:36
  Speaker 8: bit of a fallback cliche that people use when they
• 15:39
  Speaker 8: don't know what else to say, because it's even franchise guy,
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: if nothing's going on around him, tough to completely lift.
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: I still think there's moments where with the offensive line
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: struggling and it is struggled, that there are still moments
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: where Trevor can be better at Okay, I've got the time,
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: I've got this moment.
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: Now gave it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: You know, the Brian Thomas Junior throw the interception, But
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: it's one interception, you know, so that hasn't been a
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: thing all year.
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: I think Bucky's right.
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: I don't know if it's pressing or if it's just
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: trying to make sure I play a certain way so
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: as not to have these tournaments he's been talking about.
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: You know, I always hesitate to say just cut it loose,
• 16:30
  Speaker 8: because then if there's a pick, everybody's oh my goodness,
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: there's the pick. Why'd you cut it loose? But he
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: needs just like the rest of the team when the
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: opportunities are there for plays to make them and that
• 16:48
  Speaker 8: hasn't happened at the right time enough. And plus the
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: slow starts Jape, I mean, that's what if there's been
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: a thing it's been, you know, coming out of the gate.
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: Even on offense, it just sort of seems a given
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: that they're gonna punt yet and uh, that's a little
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: perplexing as well, and so much I wish I had
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: better answers, because I feel I want to have better answers,
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: and yet there's these things that you look at and
• 17:20
  Speaker 8: go that that's not what they were until this stretch, right,
• 17:26
  Speaker 8: so it seems to be what defines them, and I
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: I kind of wish I knew why.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: And even Bucky, when they're moving the ball, like that
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: second possession, there's fourteen play drive, they had a fourth down,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: they're getting moving, it's just it just takes so much
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: energy to move down the field and grind down all
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: the way down, and then an illegal formation stalls the
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: drive and they have to settle for a field goal.
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: And some of that, Bucky, I think is you know,
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: I know you've said it a lot in the years've
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: been doing this show there's been a few big plays,
• 18:01
  Speaker 8: but they haven't necessarily hit you. It's hard to go
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: twelve thirteen, fourteen plays. You're eventually gonna hit a mistake.
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: You're eventually going to have something happen against you. And
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: I sort of feel like that may be part of
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: it too as well.
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: But absolutely, and you've talked about it from your previous
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: experience with the Innnapolis Coast and Tony Dungee and how
• 18:23
  Speaker 7: Tony Dungee's defensive philosophy was make them get over ten
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: plays to drive the length of the field. I think
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: Gus Bradley, even in Jacksonville, operating in the same premise.
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: The odds of something bad happening when you have that
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: many plays it goes up.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: And what we've seen from.
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: The Jaguars, the self inflicted miscuse and mistakes happen when
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: they get to the end of drives and they have
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: an opportunity to get into the scoring zone and they mess.
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: It up because of I'll say this like just lack of.
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: Concentration, lack of focus, not necessarily knowing what they're doing
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: when it comes to the communication, who's in where, all
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: of those things things that really should have been cleaned up.
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: Like we talked about training camp and how much time
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: they spent with the starters playing. Some of these things
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: should have been tidied up by the time we got
• 19:08
  Speaker 7: to the regular season, but they haven't, and they've really
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: been costly.
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: And you're right, it does feel like such a grind
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: right now on the offense.
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: And I'll say the reason why such a grind is
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: the old line isn't playing well. And I know the
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: first person that catches the blame is Trevor, and Trevor
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: certainly hasn't played at an a level. The old line
• 19:29
  Speaker 7: has been terrible, Like they have been absolutely dominated up front.
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: And what happens with every quarterback when they start getting hit,
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: they again lose trust in the line.
• 19:40
  Speaker 7: They begin to look and see where's the next hit
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: coming from, and it takes away from the ability to
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: see and trust that something's gonna open down the field.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: So it's a stack of dominoes.
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: And if the offensive line plays better, I can pretty
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: much guarantee.
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: That Trevor's gonna play better.
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: And if Trevor plays better, then all the perimeterve weapons
• 19:57
  Speaker 7: are going to play better.
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: So it all starts front. The offensive line has to
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: play better, like that's mandatory.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: How about their matchup this week with the Texans edge
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: rushers and defensive front Bucky.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: Not great? Not great?
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: I mean, because what happens is when you put that
• 20:17
  Speaker 7: stuff on tape, everybody is now going to as a
• 20:21
  Speaker 7: copycat league. Everyone's going to be replicate it and do
• 20:24
  Speaker 7: it a few different ways.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: They have to play better.
• 20:27
  Speaker 7: And the thing about the Texas, when you look at
• 20:30
  Speaker 7: them on tape, the one thing everyone will agree with.
• 20:33
  Speaker 7: They play hard, they run to the ball, They have
• 20:36
  Speaker 7: a high level of physicality and violence in their games,
• 20:40
  Speaker 7: and they have really good players. And this is going
• 20:42
  Speaker 7: to require, like this is a quote unquote get right game.
• 20:46
  Speaker 7: The Jack's gonna have to play really well to win
• 20:48
  Speaker 7: because offensively they're loaded.
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: Defensively they can play.
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: This is going to require the Jaguars to click on
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: all cylinders. And you know, we haven't seen half of
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: the cylinders and the engine, so it's it's tall to
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: ask for him.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Right now, we're back in a moment, we will flip
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: it around and take a look at the Jaguars defensive
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: matchup this week and C. J. Stroud on the other side,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: and yes, that Arsenal receivers that the Texans employ. Jack's
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: fans want customized Jacks furniture for your home, checkout zipchare
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: dot com and Browns all customizable options Zip Chair furniture
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: for fans. This is Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks.
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: I mean, obviously our sense of urgency is heightened, obviously,
• 21:37
  Speaker 9: you know, at er and three.
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's not what we want it to be.
• 21:40
  Speaker 9: And now we're facing a really good Houston football team
• 21:43
  Speaker 9: on the road, you know, and and it doesn't get easier,
• 21:48
  Speaker 9: you know. So I don't think I have to say much,
• 21:51
  Speaker 9: you know, obviously about about these types of weeks. It's
• 21:53
  Speaker 9: just it's a matter of you know, continuing to to
• 21:56
  Speaker 9: you know, trust our process and the standard we've set
• 21:58
  Speaker 9: here and and continue to work through it.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: There's an earlier today the full press conferences for Peterson
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: and Trevor Lawrence at Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: and welcome back to Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks coming

  Speaker 2: a special appearances they gear up for the home game
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: against the Colts. That's the publics on Etown Parkway one
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: one two five Etown Parkway.
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: The address Tuesday, October first, five to six pm.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Brian Thomas Junior and Jarrian Jones publics for shopping is
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: a pleasure, it is and I'm sure it's a busy
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: place today for the hurricane.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: That's how it always goes.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, urgency against this Houston team, obviously bucky because they
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: were the favorites coming into the season to be the
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: AFC South champs, and they have a winning record, and
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: they have a quarterback who at least the first two
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: weeks of this.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: Season has played well.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: Receivers that can get all over the yard if Joe
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Mixon is healthy, He's looked good this year in the
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: running game.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: So let's start with Stroud.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Where does he stand now after three weeks, even after
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: a rough outing a week ago.
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: Oh, he's the top five quarterback. He's one of the
• 23:16
  Speaker 7: best quarterbacks in the league. He has submitted to stuff
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: with that, just the way he's performed early in the year.
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: The thing that you're curious about is the struggles against
• 23:27
  Speaker 7: k Minnesota were real because Brian Floyds does a great
• 23:31
  Speaker 7: job in the pre snaff fees changing the picture and
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: exotic changes of the picture. And normally in a copycat league,
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: you're trying to replicate some of those things because they
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: were so problematic for the young quarterback. But that doesn't
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: appear to be the jack style. They're gonna line up
• 23:46
  Speaker 7: and do what they do. They're gonna see if you
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: can beat them at their style, and they're gonna try
• 23:50
  Speaker 7: and find a way to create pressure while adding extra
• 23:53
  Speaker 7: defenders and coverage.
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: But this is gonna be one for CJ. Stroud.
• 23:57
  Speaker 7: If he sticks to the basics, man, he's gonna be
• 24:00
  Speaker 7: He's gonna have plenty of opportunities to dice up the Jags.
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: He just has to be patient and disciplined in his approach.
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: Yeah, my understanding is the Vikings did what the Jaguars
• 24:10
  Speaker 8: did last year in Houston, which is sort of playback,
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: makes CJ. Beach all the way down the field, take
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: away deep balls, sort of make him stay in the pocket,
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: limit his runs to you know, three or four yard runs,
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: and that has been the mo of teams who are
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: starting to play the Texans that way. If you will
• 24:34
  Speaker 8: so that would seem to be what the league is
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: going to start trying to make him do. Will the
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: Jaguars try to do that, I don't know.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: We'll see.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: And it's a matchup with the receivers on the outside.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: These guys obviously can play. They added stuff on Diggs
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: in this off season to go with Tank, Dell and
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Niko and those guys and Bucky. It's a group that
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: is formidable, certainly at wide receiver against a secondary right now.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: For the Jaguars, it's dinged up a little bit.
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, a huge challenge, and because you have so many
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: young guys that are gonna play like you're asking a
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: lot of guys to step up at the right time.
• 25:11
  Speaker 7: But the one thing about the Jacks, the Jacks who
• 25:13
  Speaker 7: played a lot of guys really early, and that that
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: playing time experience is gonna come in handy. Even though
• 25:18
  Speaker 7: you're probably gonna have to say some traps in double
• 25:20
  Speaker 7: team one of the guys on the bremer, whether that's
• 25:24
  Speaker 7: Diggs or Collins, or if you want to throw one
• 25:27
  Speaker 7: and thinks that you gotta neutralize somebody and make the
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: other guys carry it. That's the challenge, that's the limb
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: of dealing with the hugon Texans. Different personnel is outstanding
• 25:38
  Speaker 7: the play call. It is terrific in the plays that
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: they're utilizing. I mean they're hard plays to stop. Great
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: by design hard plays to stop, so they're real checking
• 25:47
  Speaker 7: off boxes when it comes from looking at a looking
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: like a team that's seriously going to compete.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: As the title of comment, I've got a question for
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: the defensive coordinator of buffet books. Which one would you
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: double and would you change that as again and goes
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: in situations or what? Who would you who's priority number
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: one of those receivers.
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: Nico Collins is probably number one because he can hurt
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: you the most with the biggest plays.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: I would take him out early.
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: I would try and really neutralize him to see if
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: I can get him playing against himself in terms of
• 26:17
  Speaker 7: being so frustrated as he hadn't touched the ball that
• 26:20
  Speaker 7: he kind of has a mini implosion on the sideline.
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: Then I would switch the double team later to Stepan
• 26:25
  Speaker 7: Diggs to make sure that he also goes long stretches
• 26:28
  Speaker 7: without touching the ball.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: And then I look, I think those are the only
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: two that can command, but I would change it. I
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: would vary it.
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: I wouldn't have a set rhythm to why I'm doubling
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: one person as opposed to the other.
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: I would just try and keep it in a situation
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: where we can.
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: Dictate the terms. But we're going to say early in
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: the game, no Nico Collins. Later in the game, Oh,
• 26:49
  Speaker 7: we'll give you Nico, but we're not gonna give you digs.
• 26:51
  Speaker 7: I would kind of play games with that because it's all.
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: The same to the DBS.
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah, how about Foyer.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: Lucan sounds like could be down for a little bit.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: So Ventra Miller getting an opportunity according to Doug Peterson's day,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: big opportunity for him, Bucky, Yeah.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: Big opportunity for me. And this is what I'll say
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: from Bentrel.
• 27:09
  Speaker 7: From the time that we talked to him in the
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: preseason at a pre production meeting to the time I've
• 27:13
  Speaker 7: been able to really study you watch him, I just
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: kind of love how he's taking the right steps to
• 27:17
  Speaker 7: be a pro early stay light type. He's gonna be
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: kind of in the mix. This look, man, this is
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: this is a really good team. Like it's just we
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: can talk about all the weapons and all the people
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: that it's just a really good team without many glaring weaknesses.
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: The Jaguar's gonna have to bring the every game. I mean,
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: that's just what it is.
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah, And it certainly sounds from reading tea leaves and
• 27:39
  Speaker 8: reading the reality of the injury report, that there may
• 27:44
  Speaker 8: not be as much rotation this week because you're not
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: gonna have guys to rotate.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: I still think they'll rotate the defensive line. I don't
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: know that, you know, well led Better and Lacy start.
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: I don't know, but it certainly sounds like they're going
• 27:59
  Speaker 8: to have to go with the guys that brung them
• 28:01
  Speaker 8: a little bit more than being able to rotate.
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: Will that help, I don't know.
• 28:07
  Speaker 8: But it is good that these guys have the experience
• 28:11
  Speaker 8: that they gleaned in the first three weeks from playing.
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: So we'll see how the secondary holds up.
• 28:16
  Speaker 8: It's a challenge because it's a beat up group, but
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: they should have Savage back Bucky.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: So yeah, that's a good sign.
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean that is a good sign because he
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: gives them veteran experience. It gives them a little more
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: flexibility in terms of how they can utilize them inside
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: and high up and can you do some of the
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: other tricky and clever things that the Vikings were doing
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: when it came to changing the picture post snap looking
• 28:36
  Speaker 7: likely in a cover zero blist and dropping out to
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: an inverted cover two. A lot of fun stuff that
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: Brian Floyd's was doing, a lot of little fun, creative,
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: dynamic stuff that be fuddled CJ.
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: Stroud.
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: We'll see if you can take some of that within
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: your own scheme and utilize similar like tactics to be
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: able to throw them off his game.
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: Does it help it all?
• 28:59
  Speaker 8: I guess I'm searching for something here, Buck, So I'll
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: go with Buck. I have a question for the psychoanalyst,
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: Like they did. My point earlier was not trying to
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: be facetious.
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: But the last.
• 29:13
  Speaker 8: Really really good game this team played was when they
• 29:16
  Speaker 8: went over to Houston, and they played really well in
• 29:19
  Speaker 8: that game. It's not a completely different team. First of all,
• 29:26
  Speaker 8: I'll ask you this facetially, Buck, what happened? You know,
• 29:29
  Speaker 8: but because that team that played over there that day
• 29:33
  Speaker 8: was a tough.
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: They were the better team.
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: Like if you had left that stadium and they had lost,
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: you would have felt like the better team didn't win,
• 29:46
  Speaker 8: So a what happened a little facetiously, But can you
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: bring that.
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: I mean, can you play on that?
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: Can Doug say, look, guys, can you show them that
• 29:55
  Speaker 8: and say, hey, a lot of these guys are still here,
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: we can still be that team.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: You absolutely can on that.
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: And what you want to do is, like you're Doug Peterson,
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: you want a hardback. You want to lean into all
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: those previous lessons that kind of helped you build it up.
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: And you also sometimes want to show them what they
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: look like in comparison to the other team and guys
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: like common opponents.
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: This is what we did. Let's look at how we
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: played against versus there.
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: Look, hey, look, I'm telling you when we're going there,
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: because here's the thing, and here's the thing that's really
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: hard for coaches and players everywhere, but in NFL cities
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: and particularly so if it goes wayward. Everybody has an
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: opinion for how you need to turn it around. All
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: the noise, all the parents, all the people around town,
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: all that other stuff. But when you look at it
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: right now, they're on to three. If they able to win,
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: they go to one and two. The Texas that come
• 30:44
  Speaker 7: down to want they go to one and three. The
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: texta come down to two and two.
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: That puts them right back in the thick of the race.
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: So as bad as this appears initially, nothing.
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: Has really impacted their goals ahead, get into the playoffs's divisions,
• 31:00
  Speaker 7: make a deep run into postseason.
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: All those things are attainable.
• 31:03
  Speaker 7: They just have to keep their cool and kind of
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: work through this rough pass so they get to the
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: other side of it.
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: I think I think Trevor tried to put that in perspective.
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: And it's so tough to say because it's tough to
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: clarify what you're talking about.
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: But Trevor said it today. It's a long season. Now.
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: He was very specific, and that doesn't mean that this week.
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: Isn't really really important.
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: But I think he was trying to say, is if
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: they win Sunday, darn right, it's a long season. I mean,
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: if they win Sunday, you got what thirteen games ahead
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: of you, and then everything looks looks very really you
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: got thirteen games.
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: To make up one. Well, obviously they can do because
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: they still play him. Again.
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: We're way early to be using this phrase. But when
• 31:49
  Speaker 8: Sunday and you control your destiny, right, I mean, but
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: you heard it here first, but I mean there's something
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: you're not out of it in that sense, as long
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: as you pull them back in Sunday. So, yeah, that's
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: what we're talking about. Bucky on September twenty five.
• 32:09
  Speaker 6: I did it. I said it. I said they control
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: no John.
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: So here's the thing.
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: And outside of the buildings knowing things like this, but
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: normally in the building, your go every quarter is to
• 32:21
  Speaker 7: just be three and one, right, three and one would
• 32:23
  Speaker 7: get you to thirteen and four, which normally would get
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: you a top two or three seed, and you're sitting
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: pretty well if you're off the mark.
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: You go one to three.
• 32:31
  Speaker 7: Then the next thing you do, you come in and say, hey,
• 32:34
  Speaker 7: the next quarter, let's just get to three and one,
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: and we're even up. Because if they get to the
• 32:38
  Speaker 7: midpoint at five hundred, now it's to dash for the
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: cash to finish the season.
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: And that's really what matters.
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: And so a lot of us will look all the
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: way down like, oh my god, it won't make the playoffs.
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: But really, if you just break up the season into
• 32:52
  Speaker 7: little pieces.
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: They can get back on track. It starts with a
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: win on Sunday.
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: But man, if they get that, I would say this quietly,
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: I think they are a couple winnable games in front
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: of them where they can kind of claw their way
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: back to five hundred and then set themselves up to
• 33:08
  Speaker 7: kind of play against some really good teams to see
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: how good they really are.
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I've come to believe the longer I'm around the league.
• 33:16
  Speaker 8: It's a league of belief. The players have to believe
• 33:20
  Speaker 8: in what's going on. If you win Sunday, then you
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: can believe when the coach says, hey, we're right in
• 33:28
  Speaker 8: this thing, then it's believable. If you don't, it becomes
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: harder to believe that. So I think that's why it's big.
• 33:35
  Speaker 8: It's not that oen four would be at four you're
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: still but but if you win, then you look at it.
• 33:45
  Speaker 8: Then it's easier for them to tell that to their friends. Right, Hey,
• 33:49
  Speaker 8: this is you know, so I think that is really important.
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: Let's come back.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Our final thoughts ahead of this Jaguars Texans matchup in
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Week four, the Jags looking for their first win of
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: the season. This is Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Welcome back.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks is brought to you by
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Field's autogroup Jacksonville. See Fields First, Jacksonville's premiere Luxury Auto
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Group go to Fieldsauto dot com, JP Shadrick, John Oser
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: and Jacksonville, Bucky Brooks in LA and Week four the
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: Jaguars in the Houston Texans. It's all one o'clock kickoff time.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: The road team has won the last five meetings in
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: this series.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: And of course that includes a couple for the.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Jaguars in the road at NRG Stadium.
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: You know, we've talked about.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: The challenge obviously from starting going three and trying to
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: get back in the playoff race, and Bucky, you're right,
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: you know, win this week would be huge in that regard.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: It brings the Texans back down, You're right there in
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: game back, you get a division game next week. However,
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: there are only six teams that have started zhering three
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: and made the playoffs in NFL history, and one of
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: those in the last twenty five years that was the
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: twenty eighteen Texans. So history's against them. However, that's history, right,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is a new season, this is a
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: new year. It's a different team. This is not the eighteen,
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: this is not those teams. Like so that's so long
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: ago that you've got to put that out the window
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: and focus on what the task at hand.
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: John, it's also little.
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: And again I'm PD positive tonight positive. With seventeen games
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: now extra game, there's more time to make it up.
• 35:37
  Speaker 8: And I mean apparently we're event to going to thirty
• 35:40
  Speaker 8: in this league, so at some point Ohing three start
• 35:42
  Speaker 8: it won't even matter.
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: But uh, there is that.
• 35:46
  Speaker 8: You know, at seventeen games, you have more time to
• 35:50
  Speaker 8: make it up, you have more playoff teams, and usually
• 35:56
  Speaker 8: the reason teams don't make it a Ohen three. You're
• 36:00
  Speaker 8: not very good if you start going three. So the
• 36:03
  Speaker 8: Jaguars feel like that doesn't apply to them. So there
• 36:06
  Speaker 8: are plenty of teams that get out of an own
• 36:08
  Speaker 8: three hole and get back and compete and don't quite
• 36:10
  Speaker 8: make it. Their first task is to get out of
• 36:13
  Speaker 8: the hole. And you know, we all sort of know
• 36:16
  Speaker 8: what they have to do to do it. They just
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: have to do it.
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: I mean that's the frustrating part, right. Everyone knows.
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: We can talk about it, we can speculate about it,
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: we can ponder all those things, but it's a players
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: game and players.
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: Have to play.
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: And what it will require is someone make a player
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: to to kind of change the energy. And if they
• 36:38
  Speaker 7: can never knock down that first win early in the year,
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: the belief comes back.
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: And then I think we have an opportunity to see
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: this team eventually play at their best. But they're going
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: to have.
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: To win a game against long odds to embolden them
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: and give them the confidence they need to be one
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: of those teams that's a heavyweight contender.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: It's a good way to wrap it up today, Bucky.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: We'll talk to you and this.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Weekend in Houston.
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: Have a good one, all right, man.
