0:49
Speaker 1: shopping is a pleasure at t I a bank Field.
0:52
Speaker 1: Defensive tests obviously against Big Ben and all the weapons
0:57
Speaker 1: on offense for Pittsburgh. Test for the Jaguars offense too,
1:02
Speaker 1: against one of the top defenses in the National Football League.
1:06
Speaker 1: They get to the quarterback, they take the ball away.
1:08
Speaker 1: They're pretty good against the run. It's a great group.
1:12
Speaker 1: Certainly the front seven will break them down. The uniform
1:15
Speaker 1: unveiling Jimmy Luck coming up at four thirty today and
1:18
Speaker 1: then we'll play big Game Jaguar where Bucky Brooks has
1:22
Speaker 1: a little curveball this week. We'll get to that coming
1:25
Speaker 1: up in a little bit. Bucky, what's going on with
1:28
Speaker 1: you this week? Man? It's a great week, great week,
1:31
Speaker 1: big games, stealers week, A lot to be excited about JP. Yeah,
1:36
Speaker 1: Steelers are coming in nine and oh John, the Jags
1:39
Speaker 1: have dropped eight straight, but the last couple of weeks
1:41
Speaker 1: of felt a little closer. This is still a tough matchup, John,
1:48
Speaker 1: I'm great, Jan Yes, Bucky, how he is? Care how
1:53
Speaker 1: we're covering one and eight here? So I mean it's it's, uh,
1:57
Speaker 1: thank you for asking, I'm great and it you know,
2:00
Speaker 1: it's it's the Jay Wars have looked better in the
2:04
Speaker 1: last two weeks. Not fair to say they've looked good
2:07
Speaker 1: because they've lost, but remarkable improvement defensively in terms of
2:14
Speaker 1: how they've played, in terms of how the offense has
2:16
Speaker 1: kept team of the game. I thought it has been
2:19
Speaker 1: too complete games, sort of playing together as one to
2:24
Speaker 1: stay in these games. Will that translate against Pittsburgh That's
2:30
Speaker 1: another story. All right, Well, we'll break down all sides
2:34
Speaker 1: of this game coming up. But that's that feels like
2:36
Speaker 1: it's what it's gonna take. Most weeks, is all three
2:40
Speaker 1: phases doing things the right way. Last week, they won
2:43
Speaker 1: the turnover margin, they had a special team score, but
2:46
Speaker 1: the offense just faltered later in the game. They couldn't
2:49
Speaker 1: They actually got in the end zone but had a
2:51
Speaker 1: holding call takeaway it would have been a touchdown late
2:54
Speaker 1: in that game. But um, that's what it feels like
2:57
Speaker 1: it's going to have to be most weeks. Let's get
2:59
Speaker 1: into this game this week. Let's start on the offensive side, guys,
3:02
Speaker 1: and Jake Luton of course getting start again this week.
3:04
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew uh Dug Baron said earlier this week would
3:08
Speaker 1: start throwing this week on the practice field, But it's
3:11
Speaker 1: Jake Luton's ball now this week again against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
3:16
Speaker 1: Scout's view here, Bucky, how did he look last week
3:19
Speaker 1: and the windy conditions and Lambeau there has been considering
3:24
Speaker 1: all that. Still a lot of positive talk from the
3:26
Speaker 1: powers that be about his play last week. Yeah, very
3:30
Speaker 1: solid performance. I think he um weathered the storm and
3:34
Speaker 1: in terms of dealing with the windy conditions, I felt
3:37
Speaker 1: like he did a really good job of managing the
3:39
Speaker 1: game avoided for the most part, the risky plays, did
3:44
Speaker 1: a good job of letting the playmakers go to work,
3:46
Speaker 1: and I think when the running game is working like
3:48
Speaker 1: it has been the last couple of weeks and he's
3:50
Speaker 1: been able to be efficient in the passing game, the
3:52
Speaker 1: Jaguars had been able to move the ball. So I
3:54
Speaker 1: think signs are looking up for Jake Luton at the
3:57
Speaker 1: quarterback position. John the moments in that go ahead, John,
4:05
Speaker 1: I won't hear from the scout on this because I
4:07
Speaker 1: have I don't see enough Packers games, and I don't
4:10
Speaker 1: study Aaron Rodgers in wind Bucky, I assume you've broken
4:15
Speaker 1: down the Packers over the years. How good is he
4:19
Speaker 1: dealing with those elements because he deals with them more
4:21
Speaker 1: than most players, And how tough can that be for
4:25
Speaker 1: an opposing quarterback in that place? It looked to me
4:28
Speaker 1: like both of them dealt with it early. Rogers got
4:31
Speaker 1: used to it, figured out what was going on, and
4:34
Speaker 1: Lewton still sort of deal with it. Am I overplaying that? No,
4:37
Speaker 1: you're not overplaying it. I think obviously the more experience
4:40
Speaker 1: that you have throwing the ball and in those elements,
4:43
Speaker 1: the better you've become at of understanding how to do it.
4:46
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a golfer trying to understand do
4:48
Speaker 1: I use a fade or a draw based on how
4:50
Speaker 1: the wind is is pushing, And so I think for
4:53
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, he certainly understands how to adjust. For Jake,
4:56
Speaker 1: it was a little tougher because he hadn't experienced it.
4:59
Speaker 1: He's not only dealing with the conditions, but he's dealing
5:01
Speaker 1: with a defense that throws a lot at him and
5:04
Speaker 1: he's only making a second start. I thought, for the
5:06
Speaker 1: most part, he wasn't negatively impacted by the conditions. I
5:10
Speaker 1: think he understood how to play within himself. But yeah,
5:14
Speaker 1: it didn't allow him to kind of unwork and unleashed
5:16
Speaker 1: like he had done the first start. There's still moments
5:21
Speaker 1: of the game though, where he flashed that big arm
5:23
Speaker 1: that we had talked about it and seen already, and
5:26
Speaker 1: on that touchdown pass John to Tequil and Cole, that
5:29
Speaker 1: was a rocket right over the middle of the defense.
5:33
Speaker 1: Yeah it was. And I thought from my uneducated eye
5:38
Speaker 1: that he did a good job with that, or as
5:40
Speaker 1: good as he could of trying to adjust how hard
5:44
Speaker 1: he had to throw, the timing of routes and receivers
5:47
Speaker 1: who were slipping. I thought he did a good job
5:50
Speaker 1: with that and you know, I've been asked this week,
5:53
Speaker 1: what would they have wanted had Gardner Minshew played, you know,
5:56
Speaker 1: and I don't really know how to judge that, but
5:58
Speaker 1: I do know that Luton's arm strength on that play
6:02
Speaker 1: was something we haven't seen out of Minshoe, so I
6:04
Speaker 1: thought they were situations. Last week we're having his arm
6:07
Speaker 1: strengths certainly helped. And I've always thought that a quarterback
6:12
Speaker 1: can develop cut It looks like Luton's working on that
6:17
Speaker 1: each week, sort of how fast to throw the ball
6:19
Speaker 1: against this level of competition, But it's hard to develop
6:22
Speaker 1: the arm strength. It's easier to to learn how to
6:26
Speaker 1: do things if you've got the physical talent to do
6:28
Speaker 1: it right. It's hard, too hard to bring that out
6:33
Speaker 1: when you're going against big time defenses every week in
6:36
Speaker 1: the NFL. Bucky, you touched on it the run game,
6:39
Speaker 1: helping to balance out this offense, and we could have
6:42
Speaker 1: a James Robinson segment on every show every week, I think,
6:45
Speaker 1: and be okay with it. He went over a hundred again,
6:48
Speaker 1: and you know, as John wrote this week, Blucky, you
6:51
Speaker 1: know it's not he's good for a rookie. He's not
6:54
Speaker 1: good for an undrafted player. The guy's just good. He's
6:58
Speaker 1: a good running back and has a chance to be
7:00
Speaker 1: better than that. Bucky. Yeah, he is a really good
7:03
Speaker 1: running back and he's really talented. And it's another surprise
7:07
Speaker 1: that you found a running back in the kind of
7:09
Speaker 1: undrafted free agent bin but they found him, and to
7:12
Speaker 1: the credit, give the Jaguars a ton of creditor Dubl
7:14
Speaker 1: Morunning and staff credit for putting him in the game,
7:17
Speaker 1: because a lot of people wouldn't remove Leonard for Nett
7:20
Speaker 1: and give James Robinson an opportunity to play. But he
7:23
Speaker 1: has and he's responded in splendid fashion. We saw him
7:25
Speaker 1: go over the hundred yard mark again. The toughness that
7:28
Speaker 1: he exhibits when he runs the ball inside, uh, the
7:31
Speaker 1: nimble the nimble ability, the agility, the soft fans that
7:36
Speaker 1: he shows in the passing game. He's a total package. Now,
7:39
Speaker 1: he's not necessarily a mismatch option out of the backfield,
7:42
Speaker 1: but he certainly is a guy that can go for
7:45
Speaker 1: rushing yards, maybe add another fifty to seventy five catches
7:49
Speaker 1: because his game is very, very well rounded and polished.
7:53
Speaker 1: John it feels at some point they're gonna ride this
7:56
Speaker 1: train for a while. But he was the only one
7:58
Speaker 1: that touched the ball in the running game last week.
8:01
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's gonna hold up down the stretch.
8:03
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to get him a little bit of help,
8:04
Speaker 1: but it sounds like maybe some help could be on
8:07
Speaker 1: the way. That was my sneeze, by the way, so
8:11
Speaker 1: bless me, um. It's been a strange thing to watch
8:18
Speaker 1: this year that there really hasn't been at all this
8:21
Speaker 1: year Through nine games, I think the most carries another
8:24
Speaker 1: back has a seven with Chris Thompson. So not only
8:28
Speaker 1: is James Robinson really good, he's been really durable, He's
8:32
Speaker 1: been an iron man. He's on page or something like
8:34
Speaker 1: three and seventy it touches or something like that. I
8:36
Speaker 1: don't know if that's too many or not. You hope
8:39
Speaker 1: that Divine a Zigbo, who, by the way, they liked
8:43
Speaker 1: a lot during training camp, and they really thought that.
8:47
Speaker 1: When you talk to people, they mentioned Divine a Zigbo,
8:50
Speaker 1: not as much as James Robinson, but they mentioned it.
8:52
Speaker 1: So what can he do? What could he give them?
8:56
Speaker 1: You certainly hope somebody's going to be ready, because let's
9:00
Speaker 1: hope Robinson can keep running, because so far you haven't
9:03
Speaker 1: seen anything to make you know what it would be
9:07
Speaker 1: if they didn't have him right now, I gotta have
9:11
Speaker 1: some some extra just to give him a rest. Ever
9:13
Speaker 1: once in a while, buck him. And I know he's
9:15
Speaker 1: a young guy and fresh legs, but Josh, he needs
9:17
Speaker 1: a drink of water. But once in a while. Yeah,
9:19
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a little bit more of a throwback.
9:22
Speaker 1: I think it will be interesting to see um how
9:25
Speaker 1: long they can continue to ride him, because he has
9:27
Speaker 1: shown the ability to handle a heavy workload. He can
9:30
Speaker 1: do it. Not only is a runner, but he's also
9:32
Speaker 1: effective in the passing game. But you want to hang
9:35
Speaker 1: your hat on him because he has been so good,
9:36
Speaker 1: so effective during his first season. You just kind of
9:38
Speaker 1: want to ride it out and see if he can
9:40
Speaker 1: continue to be the producer and the playmaker that he's shown.
9:43
Speaker 1: But right now, all signs look like he is a
9:46
Speaker 1: guy that's gonna be a solid player for the Jaguars
9:48
Speaker 1: for a long time. A question. Yes, yes, yes, John, Yes,
9:57
Speaker 1: And it's sort of a theory. I don't get to
9:58
Speaker 1: talk to the scout that off he won't return my
10:00
Speaker 1: so I had to take this opportunity. He uh. In
10:05
Speaker 1: terms of Robinson's long term. He strikes me pretty similar
10:10
Speaker 1: to Emmett. I'm not saying he's at Smith level, but
10:13
Speaker 1: the way he runs, he doesn't he delivers hit, but
10:18
Speaker 1: he doesn't seem to take a lot of hit. He
10:21
Speaker 1: strikes me as a guy that, despite his running style,
10:24
Speaker 1: may be able to maintain himself in this league simply
10:27
Speaker 1: because he runs so smart. I didn't know if Bucky
10:30
Speaker 1: had any thoughts on that. Yeah, he's a very efficient runner,
10:33
Speaker 1: and I think the one thing that you look for
10:34
Speaker 1: is you don't mind having a running back that initiates contact,
10:38
Speaker 1: that welcomes contact, that adds a little to your offense
10:41
Speaker 1: in terms of bringing that physical dimension. But the guys
10:44
Speaker 1: that played for a long time, they're the ones who
10:46
Speaker 1: avoid the big shots. And to this point, he has
10:48
Speaker 1: really avoided the major shots, which is why he has
10:51
Speaker 1: been available. As I'm knocking on wood, he has been
10:54
Speaker 1: available because he hasn't taken any major blow up shots.
10:57
Speaker 1: He has given defenders kind of glancing surface area blows
11:02
Speaker 1: that two hit and so because of that, he's been available.
11:05
Speaker 1: And I am just excited to continue to see him
11:08
Speaker 1: because it seems like Jake Grutin has found something with
11:10
Speaker 1: him and they're beginning to give him more carries. I
11:13
Speaker 1: want to see what those carries translate into. Uh, what
11:16
Speaker 1: kind of production it translates into. Alright, guys, let's let's
11:21
Speaker 1: get into this matchup this week against the Steelers defense,
11:24
Speaker 1: one of the really good units in the National Football
11:26
Speaker 1: League top ten against the run, but they get to
11:29
Speaker 1: the passer, they had the lead a lot that certainly
11:31
Speaker 1: helps with they're really good to otherwise. Thirty six sacks
11:35
Speaker 1: this season so far for the Steelers defense were about
11:37
Speaker 1: halfway home in the season that the lot quarterback hits. Uh.
11:42
Speaker 1: Seventeen takeaways is a team, sixteen of those on defense
11:46
Speaker 1: and other was a fumble recovery on special teams. But
11:49
Speaker 1: when you have those guys in the front seven, uh,
11:52
Speaker 1: it is a real challenge. And as as the coaching
11:54
Speaker 1: staff is saying this week, if they get behind, then
11:58
Speaker 1: those guys can really crank up John and it is.
12:01
Speaker 1: It can be really tough. Of all of a sudden,
12:03
Speaker 1: what and all those pass rushers are have a free
12:06
Speaker 1: shot at you. Well, it can be. It can become
12:10
Speaker 1: a self fulfilling prophecy me. You get leads and then
12:14
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, because you've got leads, you get
12:16
Speaker 1: more turnovers and you get bigger leads. We all saw it,
12:20
Speaker 1: those of us who cover the Jaguars, we saw in
12:22
Speaker 1: two thousand and seventeen. How you know, it's not a
12:24
Speaker 1: coincidence that they leave the league in turnovers and sacked
12:28
Speaker 1: because usually when you lead the league in sacks, you're
12:30
Speaker 1: getting all kinds of pressures and you're getting sacked, bumbles,
12:32
Speaker 1: you're getting picks. Those two kind of go hand in hand.
12:36
Speaker 1: The Steelers are, Yeah, they swarm and they're very dangerous.
12:42
Speaker 1: And I thought Doug Morone and j Gruden both really
12:45
Speaker 1: touched on it today when they talk to the media,
12:47
Speaker 1: and Doug was as candidate about it as I've ever
12:49
Speaker 1: heard him talk in a pre game. They can't fall behind.
12:54
Speaker 1: You've got to stay in good situations, and he said
12:56
Speaker 1: if you don't, things can get ugly in a hurry.
13:00
Speaker 1: I expect whatever their game plan is, it's going to
13:05
Speaker 1: emphasize we've got to get some points thoroughly, and we
13:08
Speaker 1: have to keep the ball away from this team. And
13:10
Speaker 1: now that's singing out of hand. If they get down
13:12
Speaker 1: pen nothing, it could get to twenty four nothing really
13:15
Speaker 1: fast away. The Steelers play, yes, it's it's it's a
13:20
Speaker 1: tough defense. It's a tough defense to deal with. This
13:22
Speaker 1: is a talented group. I mean you talk about the
13:25
Speaker 1: unit at leads the league and pressure rate and sack percentage,
13:28
Speaker 1: number one in turnovers. Their young athletic, they're fast, they're physical. Um,
13:34
Speaker 1: they're everything that a team build that we want on defense.
13:38
Speaker 1: And what they've done is they have ratcheted up the pressure.
13:41
Speaker 1: They're blessing at a clip about a little over which
13:45
Speaker 1: is one of the top two or three in the league.
13:47
Speaker 1: And so they get after you. And so the thing
13:50
Speaker 1: that you would like to do in terms of like
13:52
Speaker 1: just oh, we just want to squat on the ball
13:54
Speaker 1: and take the air out of it, They're not going
13:55
Speaker 1: to allow you to do that. You're gonna have to
13:57
Speaker 1: make some plays. And so James Robinson and d J.
14:00
Speaker 1: Shark and Chris Conney and keenlan Cole like those guys
14:03
Speaker 1: are all going to have to make plays. And the quarterback, Um,
14:08
Speaker 1: he would get baptized by the pressure package that he sees. No, no, John,
14:12
Speaker 1: we don't want to throw it. You don't want to
14:14
Speaker 1: throw it at wheel because the bad things will happen
14:16
Speaker 1: if we throw it too much. We gotta find a
14:18
Speaker 1: way to manufacture it. But yeah, a lot is going
14:20
Speaker 1: to be on j louton this week with the pressure, yeah, pressure,
14:24
Speaker 1: and then making Fitzpatrick on the back end, ball hawking,
14:28
Speaker 1: secondary and all that combined can can be a bad
14:32
Speaker 1: combination for the Jaguars offensive. Things aren't doing well. All right,
14:35
Speaker 1: let's come back. We're gonna flip it around the Jaguars
14:40
Speaker 1: defense against Ben Roethlisberger. You might have heard of him.
14:44
Speaker 1: He's going to be in the Hall of Fame one day.
14:47
Speaker 1: The Jags know him very well. But let's see about
14:50
Speaker 1: the matchup this week. Jaguars Happy Hour is brought to

Speaker 1: On this Wednesday, all right, let's say, hey, hey, John,
17:33
Speaker 1: welcome to the show, Jaguars Defense. Let's touch with some
17:37
Speaker 1: of the bright spots in last week's matchup against Green Bay,
17:42
Speaker 1: and you can really look at a couple of the
17:45
Speaker 1: younger guys and one of the newer faces that we've
17:48
Speaker 1: talked about week over a week, Sidney Jones in the
17:51
Speaker 1: league now a few years but new around here continues
17:54
Speaker 1: to play well. Daniel Thomas got his first career start
17:58
Speaker 1: at safety last week and produced Davon Hamilton is becoming
18:03
Speaker 1: a guy in the middle that you can rely on
18:05
Speaker 1: week over a week. He had his first career sack
18:07
Speaker 1: last week of Aaron Rodgers. So you can start with
18:11
Speaker 1: those three guys right there, Hamilton, Jones, Thomas, and you know,
18:16
Speaker 1: it's what we've kind of talked about as the season
18:18
Speaker 1: started to slip a little bit. Um get some of
18:21
Speaker 1: these younger guys in there, see what you have and
18:24
Speaker 1: they're finding some positivity in certain places. Bucky, Yeah, they are.
18:29
Speaker 1: The young guys have been able to step up on
18:30
Speaker 1: the field and compete, and I think you have to
18:33
Speaker 1: be excited, uh, Cindy Jones coming over from the Philadelphia Eagles,
18:36
Speaker 1: stepping in and being a nice compliment on the opposite
18:39
Speaker 1: side of C. J. Henderson, Daniel Thomas making a start
18:41
Speaker 1: being able to be a very active player. But Devon
18:44
Speaker 1: Hamilton's is someone that I think we have to be
18:46
Speaker 1: really excited about his ability to make plays on the inside,
18:50
Speaker 1: not only as a plugger, but as a guy that
18:52
Speaker 1: has also added some pass rush production. Now that's not
18:56
Speaker 1: what he's going to do. He's gonna minerate it more
18:58
Speaker 1: so than major in it. But I think when you
19:00
Speaker 1: looked at the sack that he was able to get
19:02
Speaker 1: his movement skills, his ability to move around and do
19:04
Speaker 1: some of those things on the inter You'd like to
19:07
Speaker 1: have a guy that could do more than just played
19:09
Speaker 1: as a pocket pusher. He's shown flashes of being able
19:12
Speaker 1: to be more than that. You have to be excited. Uh,
19:14
Speaker 1: if you're the Jaguars coaching staff looking at Hamilton's growth
19:17
Speaker 1: over the course of the season, John, they needed that too.
19:20
Speaker 1: They didn't have much of anything going on in the
19:22
Speaker 1: interior of the defensive line until really Hamilton's stepped out
19:26
Speaker 1: and played big against the Chargers. Well, yeah, and you
19:31
Speaker 1: know you needed something because I still maintain you gotta
19:36
Speaker 1: have four or five defensive tackles you can play. You
19:38
Speaker 1: gotta have three you can played a really high level.
19:41
Speaker 1: For a while, they didn't have any. So they've got one,
19:44
Speaker 1: which to me means you stuff to have a major
19:46
Speaker 1: push this offseason to really develop that where it's a
19:50
Speaker 1: big time defensive line unit if you're gonna win. More
19:55
Speaker 1: interesting than Hamilton's because I think he's on his way.
19:58
Speaker 1: Have they found their cornerback combination If we look back
20:02
Speaker 1: in the secondary t J Henderson, Sidney Jones, Gray Herndon
20:07
Speaker 1: playing well at the nicol Moving Sydney Jones and may
20:10
Speaker 1: have had the same effect at corner as bringing Schober in,
20:15
Speaker 1: it had a linebacker moving Miles Jack out. They may
20:18
Speaker 1: have found three guys they can move forward with back there.
20:22
Speaker 1: I'm anxious to hear from Bucky. We have out question again, JP.
20:26
Speaker 1: You know, am I overrating those three corners. Is that
20:30
Speaker 1: an NFL solid level of cornerback play if those three
20:34
Speaker 1: guys play as they had the last two or three weeks. No,
20:37
Speaker 1: I don't think you're overvaluing that. I think when you
20:40
Speaker 1: look at the draft pedigree, you have a first round
20:43
Speaker 1: and you have a second round in Sydney Jones, and
20:45
Speaker 1: so those guys are expected to be solid starters, guys
20:48
Speaker 1: that play at a high level, and I think they're
20:50
Speaker 1: doing that now. The Jaguars have put both of those
20:53
Speaker 1: guys in the situation that plays to their skill set. Uh.
20:56
Speaker 1: This is more of a zone oriented team, a team
20:59
Speaker 1: that wants to sit back and play vision and break football,
21:02
Speaker 1: and so those guys have instincts and awareness and enough
21:05
Speaker 1: athleticism to make those plays. I think we'll see inside
21:08
Speaker 1: with Tradeherning. He has played better, without question the last
21:11
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. This will be the first game where um,
21:14
Speaker 1: we'll need him to play and cover and cover at
21:17
Speaker 1: a high level. That is something he hasn't consistently been
21:20
Speaker 1: tasked with in terms of having to defend a high
21:22
Speaker 1: end number three or number four receiver. We will see
21:25
Speaker 1: him and Chris Clay will both be challenged by Pittsburgh's
21:28
Speaker 1: wide receiver corps. That is is excellent from top to bottom.
21:33
Speaker 1: Is that they are going on to the Pittsburgh Steelers
21:36
Speaker 1: To kind of follow up on that thought, is this
21:38
Speaker 1: the best receiver group as a whole in the league. Uh,
21:43
Speaker 1: it's interesting because I won't say they're the best in
21:46
Speaker 1: the league, but I think they're the most dynamic in
21:48
Speaker 1: terms of what they're asked to do. This is a
21:51
Speaker 1: catch and run offense. This offense is a quick rhythm offense.
21:54
Speaker 1: So for all the fans that are hoping to see
21:57
Speaker 1: Miles Jack and Josh Allen get the big man, it
21:59
Speaker 1: is unlikely to happen because from touch to throw, he
22:03
Speaker 1: gets it off in two point three one second, So
22:06
Speaker 1: that's fastest in the league by wide margin. They're throwing
22:11
Speaker 1: of their passes are quick passes, meaning the ball is
22:13
Speaker 1: out and under two point five seconds or less. They're
22:16
Speaker 1: running empty formation. So now they're putting all your dbs
22:19
Speaker 1: on an island, they run empty more than anybody else.
22:22
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger has more pass attempts and completions and yards
22:25
Speaker 1: and all of this out of empty. And so this
22:28
Speaker 1: is one where we're going to see if C. J.
22:31
Speaker 1: Henderson and Clay Brooks and Jones and Trey Hernon if
22:33
Speaker 1: they can cover, because they're going to have to be
22:36
Speaker 1: able to cover because you just won't be able to
22:38
Speaker 1: get the pressure to Ben Roethlisberger in time. And so
22:42
Speaker 1: this is a challenge for this secondary. And obviously, John,
22:46
Speaker 1: you've got been back there pulling the trigger who's seen
22:48
Speaker 1: everything ten thousand times in his career, So you know,
22:52
Speaker 1: nothing's You're not going to surprise Big Ben most likely, no.
22:58
Speaker 1: And yeah, now if go great about the game, JP
23:03
Speaker 1: really good about it. This is an enormous pass for
23:08
Speaker 1: you know. Uh, last week it was tough because of
23:12
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. This week it's tough because Ben Roethlisberger might
23:17
Speaker 1: be playing as well as Aaron Rodgers this year. Uh.
23:20
Speaker 1: An absurd stat is if Ben continues to play as
23:25
Speaker 1: he's played, he will finish the season with more touchdowns
23:29
Speaker 1: and he's ever thrown in his career and fewer interceptions,
23:31
Speaker 1: and he's ever throwing in his career. I think it
23:33
Speaker 1: speaks to what Bucky said. They're not throwing the ball
23:35
Speaker 1: deep downfield. They're throwing quick timing, so you reduce the
23:38
Speaker 1: number of interceptions. His yards aren't as high as they
23:41
Speaker 1: have been in some years, but he's he's having a
23:43
Speaker 1: remarkable season, and he's at that point where he sees
23:47
Speaker 1: everything far before you're even thinking everything. So it's uh.
23:52
Speaker 1: Jaguars will need those corners to get a couple of
23:55
Speaker 1: breaks and catch the ball when they have their hands
23:59
Speaker 1: on it. That's the task. If they do, they'll have
24:01
Speaker 1: a chance to stay in it. I always say, j
24:04
Speaker 1: if you in a game like this, if you see
24:06
Speaker 1: the underdogs secondary slapping their hands and saying, oh man,
24:12
Speaker 1: we missed that one, you're in trouble because you only
24:15
Speaker 1: get a few shots, and you've got to take advantage
24:17
Speaker 1: of tring opportunity over opportunities when they come around. You know,
24:20
Speaker 1: it's funny, John, because I talked about it, and I'll
24:23
Speaker 1: probably put a lot of emphasis on coverage. I think
24:26
Speaker 1: the most important part of this game from the Jaguars
24:28
Speaker 1: defense standpoint will be how well they tackle um. I
24:33
Speaker 1: would anticipate ty Wash using a lot of zone coverage,
24:36
Speaker 1: trying to keep the eyes on the quarterback to get
24:38
Speaker 1: great breaks on the throws. And what the Jaguars have
24:41
Speaker 1: to do is when they catch it, they have to
24:43
Speaker 1: go down immediately. They cannot allow this team to run
24:47
Speaker 1: and gain all these jack yards Yars have to catch.
24:50
Speaker 1: They have to tackle well. If they tackle will this
24:52
Speaker 1: week they have a chance because watch them against the
24:55
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. The Dallas Cowboys weren't playing well, but it
24:58
Speaker 1: is a great job of rally and tackling. If the
25:00
Speaker 1: Jaguars take that blueprint into a great job of tackling,
25:03
Speaker 1: not a lot of miss tackles, they can keep this
25:06
Speaker 1: game close. They have to tackle really well in the
25:07
Speaker 1: back end. In fact, this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers,
25:15
Speaker 1: the nine and oh Steelers and the Jags now have
25:19
Speaker 1: dropped eight in a row. But they're coming back home
25:22
Speaker 1: a little home cooking and maybe could help things out
25:24
Speaker 1: this week. We've got plenty ahead on Jaguars. Happy Hour

28:08
Speaker 1: where shopping is a pleasure, and the Jags at home.
28:11
Speaker 1: It's a one o'clock kickoff time at t I A
28:14
Speaker 1: a bank field Jimmy Luck coming up in just a
28:16
Speaker 1: few minutes. And I'm looking through the Pittsburgh Steelers results
28:21
Speaker 1: this year, and they've played in a lot of tight games, guys.
28:24
Speaker 1: I mean they had to rally somehow to beat the Cowboys. Um,
28:29
Speaker 1: they beat the Ravens by four, they beat the Titans
28:33
Speaker 1: in Tennessee by three. I mean, good teams win close games,
28:37
Speaker 1: yes or nine and no they're I'm not saying they're
28:39
Speaker 1: not worthy of nine and O, but um, they don't
28:42
Speaker 1: blow out a lot of people, Bucky. Um, you know
28:46
Speaker 1: it's one of those where the Jags played that close
28:48
Speaker 1: game last week in Green Bay kind of got the attention.
28:52
Speaker 1: I'm curious. I don't think, I guess at the point
28:55
Speaker 1: I'm trying to make, guys, I don't think this is
28:57
Speaker 1: going to be a sleep walking Steelers team coming in
29:00
Speaker 1: this week. They're gonna take the Jaguars um as professionally
29:04
Speaker 1: as they can, because they know what almost happened in
29:06
Speaker 1: Green Bay. Is that a real thing? Bucky yeah, I
29:09
Speaker 1: think it's a real thing. I think for the Steelers,
29:12
Speaker 1: I think they will give the Jaguars their proper respect
29:15
Speaker 1: in the preparation phase of it, so they'll prepare for him. Um.
29:18
Speaker 1: I think they'll have an a level effort um. But
29:22
Speaker 1: I will say the reason why their games are closest
29:25
Speaker 1: because as much as I talked about the passing game,
29:28
Speaker 1: the passing game is really a ball control, conservative attack.
29:32
Speaker 1: It's a lot of dink and dunk passes where you
29:35
Speaker 1: have to stream together a lot of completions to eventually
29:37
Speaker 1: get it in the end zone. And so because of that,
29:40
Speaker 1: they can have some issues where they can go from
29:42
Speaker 1: twenty to twenties and then kind of bogged down in
29:44
Speaker 1: the red zone. They've really abandoned the running game. They've
29:47
Speaker 1: basically just given the ball to Ben Rothenberg and say, hey,
29:51
Speaker 1: throw it as much as you want and do whatever
29:52
Speaker 1: you want with this quicker than passing game and will
29:55
Speaker 1: score points and you know it's it's it's been effective.
29:58
Speaker 1: But there's some fools gold to that because Ben is
30:02
Speaker 1: taking care of the ball and that is a little
30:04
Speaker 1: uncommon that he's been so protective of the ball this year.
30:08
Speaker 1: He hasn't had giveaways in seven games, and his passer
30:11
Speaker 1: rating has been over a hundred and seven games. That's
30:13
Speaker 1: really uncommon for him to be so efficient. So you
30:16
Speaker 1: do wonder will there be a market correction and maybe
30:19
Speaker 1: would be the beneficiary. John Headline Bucky Brooks says Steelers
30:24
Speaker 1: are fools gold. About that. I can see it now,
30:28
Speaker 1: that's what I heard, and I'll uh all I heard
30:33
Speaker 1: with fool's gold, so I think so we're playing with
30:36
Speaker 1: but it's uh in talking to Ed Baschette, who's who's
30:40
Speaker 1: covered the Steelers for thirty five years. He now works
30:43
Speaker 1: for the Athletic and he knows the Steelers as well
30:45
Speaker 1: as anybody, so I'll defer to his theory. On Ben Roethlisberger,
30:49
Speaker 1: Wich made a last of sense to me, not throwing
30:51
Speaker 1: the ball deep as much and not making as many
30:54
Speaker 1: chance throws to Antonio Brownich. He used to be a
30:58
Speaker 1: case even throw the ball up in the wait for
31:00
Speaker 1: Antonio to go make a play. It worked, as he
31:02
Speaker 1: was otherworldly good, but not as many deep chance throws
31:07
Speaker 1: a big reason for the reduction in interceptions. So I
31:10
Speaker 1: don't know necessarily that you can count on pick. I
31:13
Speaker 1: definitely agree with Bucky. That very little running game involved
31:16
Speaker 1: with the Steelers this year, so when you put the
31:19
Speaker 1: ball in the air, there's more risk of turnovers, so
31:22
Speaker 1: maybe you get one or two. I sure wouldn't have
31:25
Speaker 1: picked them to win the turnover battle in Green Bay
31:27
Speaker 1: this week. They've got to win it this week to
31:30
Speaker 1: have a chance to win against Pittsburgh. Yeah, steal those
31:34
Speaker 1: possessions and the same kind of formulas. Steal the possessions,
31:38
Speaker 1: get a special team score if you can, something like
31:41
Speaker 1: that to to really help out things, and then play
31:44
Speaker 1: a really, really good offensive football game, and then you'll
31:47
Speaker 1: have a shot to get this game into the fourth quarter.
31:50
Speaker 1: Jimmy Luck coming up shortly to unveil the uniforms for
31:54
Speaker 1: us here. Let's go ahead and look at the a
31:55
Speaker 1: f C South standings through week number ten, had they
32:00
Speaker 1: the week number eleven, and it's pretty tight. At the
32:03
Speaker 1: top of the division, of course, the Colts lead the way,
32:07
Speaker 1: and the Colts and the Titans will play again in
32:09
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, so there's still a lot to
32:11
Speaker 1: be determined there. The Texans of the Jaguars at the
32:15
Speaker 1: bottom of the division. The bottom two teams. Is that
32:19
Speaker 1: is that going to stand up in your opinion, Bucky.
32:22
Speaker 1: With the Colts at the top, are they the strongest
32:24
Speaker 1: team at least right now? And do you see that
32:26
Speaker 1: developing as the season goes on. You know, I know
32:29
Speaker 1: it's crazy because we knocked him off in week one,
32:32
Speaker 1: but the Coats are the best team in terms of
32:34
Speaker 1: their overall balance. Uh, this is a solid defensive team.
32:38
Speaker 1: They're doing a really good job of stopping the run. Uh.
32:40
Speaker 1: Matt ever Flows has been playing very good. I mean
32:43
Speaker 1: they're like they're just playing hard. They're flying to the
32:45
Speaker 1: ball and not a lot of coverage bus the ball
32:46
Speaker 1: is in front, and they do an exceptional job of
32:49
Speaker 1: tacking on the perimeter. When Philip Rivers takes care of
32:52
Speaker 1: the football, this is a hard team to beat. The
32:55
Speaker 1: problem is you just don't know what you can get
32:56
Speaker 1: from Philip Rivers every week. He is a little turnal
33:00
Speaker 1: were prone and that has been the biggest issue when
33:02
Speaker 1: it comes to the ind and up his coals when
33:04
Speaker 1: he doesn't play well. He pushed the mad jeopardy of
33:07
Speaker 1: losing and so it's all on seventeen on seventeen John,
33:12
Speaker 1: And you know the Titans, when they get things going,
33:17
Speaker 1: they can play pretty well. But at least they the
33:21
Speaker 1: other night the Colts got them in that one on
33:22
Speaker 1: one matchup. Well, I only saw a part of it,
33:27
Speaker 1: and I saw the part where special teams just killed
33:29
Speaker 1: the Titan, so that's certainly a part of it. I'm
33:33
Speaker 1: surprised because of the way that I've always seen the
33:37
Speaker 1: Titans when we see them when we're covering them. I'm
33:40
Speaker 1: surprised that they're not doubter defensively. I think that's really
33:45
Speaker 1: hurt them. It looked like they like that hurt them
33:47
Speaker 1: against the Colts a little bit. I expected them to
33:51
Speaker 1: be able to play good defense and then run with
33:53
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. I'm sure it's what they thought they're gonna
33:55
Speaker 1: be able to do. Clowney really hasn't had much of
33:57
Speaker 1: an impact if they don't get that deep vents turned around.
34:01
Speaker 1: You know, the Colts Titans the game a couple of
34:03
Speaker 1: weeks is huge because the Colts already have that edge.
34:06
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, it doesn't feel like they're as much
34:10
Speaker 1: of a dark horse playoff team as you thought maybe
34:14
Speaker 1: two or three weeks ago. And that surprises me because
34:16
Speaker 1: I thought the Titans were pretty solid. John, You, I
34:21
Speaker 1: and Bucky all have the same amount of sacks as
34:24
Speaker 1: Shadaveon Clowney this year zero sacks in the n F. Yeah,
34:29
Speaker 1: but that's a conversation, that's it's just one of those things,
34:32
Speaker 1: you know, just not getting home to the quarterback. Let's
34:36
Speaker 1: look at the matchup this week and this week for
34:38
Speaker 1: the divisional teams, the Titans at the Ravens, both teams
34:41
Speaker 1: at six and three. The Ravens lost to the Patriots
34:44
Speaker 1: last week. The Patriots get the Texans this week down
34:48
Speaker 1: in Houston, and of course the Steelers and Jaguars here.
34:51
Speaker 1: The Packers go down to Indy to face the Colts.
34:55
Speaker 1: So some big time games there, guys, the Titans and
34:58
Speaker 1: Ravens matchup, and the Actors and Colts matchup. Especially Buck,
35:01
Speaker 1: you two really good football games. Yeah, really football games.
35:06
Speaker 1: And I think with what interesting in the Baltimore Ravens
35:09
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans game, which Baltimore team will show up? They're
35:12
Speaker 1: beginning to be some doubts about the Ravens and their
35:15
Speaker 1: ability to be a legitimate title contender. So Ken, Gregg Roman,
35:19
Speaker 1: get this offense back on track your minus, nick boy,
35:22
Speaker 1: you lost some offensive lineman. Can they get back to
35:26
Speaker 1: smashing the football like they were? Able to the first
35:29
Speaker 1: year and a half of the Mark Jackson as the starter.
35:31
Speaker 1: If they're going to get back on track, it's going
35:34
Speaker 1: to be propelled by their running game and their defense.
35:36
Speaker 1: We'll see if they can get it on track. All right,
35:40
Speaker 1: there's a look at the division this week. The Jacks
35:43
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the a f C South at
35:45
Speaker 1: one and eight. They've lost eight straight games. They'll welcome

Speaker 1: The Jaguars and the Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday, a week
38:20
Speaker 1: eleven old an f C Central rivals. The all time
38:24
Speaker 1: regular season series twelve and twelve between the teams. The Jaguars,
38:29
Speaker 1: of course had the two playoff wins against Pittsburgh two
38:33
Speaker 1: thousand seven and twenty seventeen. Both of those years the
38:37
Speaker 1: Jaguars beat the Steelers twice in Pittsburgh. Has never been
38:41
Speaker 1: done by any other organization. Well, this game this weekend, Yeah,
38:45
Speaker 1: that's right, that's right, it's never been done again the
38:48
Speaker 1: Jags and the Steelers this week t I a a
38:51
Speaker 1: bank field. We're out to Jimmy Luck and let's before
38:55
Speaker 1: we get to in, let's go ahead and play big game.
38:57
Speaker 1: Jaguar this week, and we're gonna say lucky full Yeah,
39:01
Speaker 1: he has a curveball for us. John, go ahead and
39:04
Speaker 1: get your big game, Jaguar. But it's turning not Jimmy, Look,
39:08
Speaker 1: it's uh. I'm wan with Sidney Jones the fourth and
39:13
Speaker 1: I I talked to him on the podcast, so I'll
39:16
Speaker 1: drop that name right here self. Promotion ST. Jones is
39:19
Speaker 1: a remarkable story for a lot of reason. As I
39:23
Speaker 1: was talking to him today, I kept going back to,
39:26
Speaker 1: here's a guy who at the at the cusp of
39:29
Speaker 1: the start of his career terrors an achille which maybe
39:34
Speaker 1: worse than tearing an a c L in terms of
39:37
Speaker 1: his of his position, which you have to overcome quick
39:40
Speaker 1: twitch athleticism. And now he's back to being full time
39:45
Speaker 1: and in a full strength and is playing as well
39:50
Speaker 1: as he's ever played and is turning himself into an
39:53
Speaker 1: NFL level corner. Both he and C. J. Henderson getting
39:57
Speaker 1: back to the actual game itself, have huge asked. But
40:01
Speaker 1: Sydney plays in such a way He's not afraid to
40:04
Speaker 1: be aggressive, He's not afraid to go after the ball.
40:06
Speaker 1: I say, he picks Ben Roethlisberger and therefore has a
40:10
Speaker 1: big game to keep the Jaguars in it, but not
40:13
Speaker 1: necessarily to win it. At the end. About that Sydney
40:17
Speaker 1: Jones John Osier calling for a takeaway off Ben Roethlson.
40:23
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go next, and I'm gonna go with the
40:25
Speaker 1: guy I went with last week, and because he is Mr.
40:28
Speaker 1: Reliable and this offense, if it's balanced, it has James
40:31
Speaker 1: Robinson running the football all over the field. So I'm
40:33
Speaker 1: going with the Jaguars running back again. I know it's
40:36
Speaker 1: tough front seven. I know they're pretty good against the
40:38
Speaker 1: RN Yes, but for this offense to be what they
40:43
Speaker 1: what they can be, James Robinson is is a key
40:47
Speaker 1: for the jag So he had a third under yard
40:49
Speaker 1: game last week. Keep feeding in the rock, it's I
40:53
Speaker 1: gotta do and see if you can keep carrying the
40:56
Speaker 1: load for the Jaguars. He's among the leaders in attempt
41:00
Speaker 1: some yards this year in the NFL. So he is
41:03
Speaker 1: my big game Jaguar this week. Bucky, what do you
41:06
Speaker 1: have for us? So I am going to split mine
41:10
Speaker 1: up because I think I'm gonna need co headliners and
41:14
Speaker 1: so my headliners are Trey Hernting and Chris clay Brooks.
41:18
Speaker 1: The two guys that are playing Nickel and dined Back, respectively.
41:21
Speaker 1: Because the Pittsburgh Stealers want to spread it out, They're
41:24
Speaker 1: gonna utilize all their weapons, uh Juju Smith, shooting Buster,
41:29
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool, Deyonte Johnson, then he of James Washington, not
41:32
Speaker 1: to mention Eric Ibron, and so the third and fourth
41:35
Speaker 1: corners have to play a critical role this week. We
41:39
Speaker 1: can't hide them. Those guys have to get out there,
41:41
Speaker 1: and they not only have to show up, but they
41:43
Speaker 1: gotta show out. So those are my big game James,
41:46
Speaker 1: My big game Jaguars, Trey Hernting, Chris Clay Brooks. If
41:49
Speaker 1: we win, it's going to be because of their efforts
41:52
Speaker 1: in coverage. You have a big game Jaguars plural Bucky
41:59
Speaker 1: Brooks this week, and they're gonna need a lot of
42:01
Speaker 1: big games out of the Jaguars secondary. Three of the
42:04
Speaker 1: four selections today in the secondary for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
42:09
Speaker 1: All right, So that's our big game Jaguar this week.
42:12
Speaker 1: We have some we can't get to Jimmy Luck this week,
42:15
Speaker 1: and it's not Jimmy's fault, So we're gonna unveil the
42:18
Speaker 1: uniforms without him. I know that that feels just awful.
42:21
Speaker 1: We'll get back to Jimmy next week. But here is
42:24
Speaker 1: what the Jaguars will wear this Sunday at t i
42:29
Speaker 1: A bank Field. There you have it, black over teal
42:34
Speaker 1: for the Jags this Sunday. How about that look that'll
42:38
Speaker 1: look it's the Steelers. Yeah, snazzy. They can't mess with that.
42:43
Speaker 1: Like they're a traditional uniform. They have those funny looking
42:45
Speaker 1: yellow pants with the big stripe, like we have a
42:48
Speaker 1: little more pizzas. So based on a uniform that that
42:50
Speaker 1: should be a positive. That should give us three points
42:53
Speaker 1: right away. It swings, it swings things that way. Yes,
42:58
Speaker 1: that's a good look, John, I like, yeah, I think
43:02
Speaker 1: that's only the second. If I'm not wrong, which I
43:04
Speaker 1: usually am, I think that's only the second time they've
43:07
Speaker 1: worn that, so it's a if I'm right, it's an
43:12
Speaker 1: unusual look. I'm not going to mention the game they
43:15
Speaker 1: did wear it because it didn't go well, but good
43:18
Speaker 1: for them, and I think we've shown that we can
43:20
Speaker 1: do this show without Jimmy Luck. So you know my vote.
43:25
Speaker 1: It's pretty obvious moving forward, but I'll leave it up
43:29
Speaker 1: to you guys. Um you won't mention the game, but
43:33
Speaker 1: I will. It was in Dallas and it didn't go
43:35
Speaker 1: well at all against Cowboys. I so uh. We didn't
43:43
Speaker 1: get Jimmy's voice this week. But we have the video
43:46
Speaker 1: working and and we're gonna see if Jimmy can show us.
43:49
Speaker 1: We just saw the graphic, but we're gonna try this
43:51
Speaker 1: out and see if Jimmy can show well. There he is,
43:55
Speaker 1: there's Jimmy Luck. We can't hear you. That's Keelan Cole's jersey,
43:59
Speaker 1: the black jery is he and the teal pants in
44:02
Speaker 1: the right hand. The microphone's not working. Jimmy can say
44:07
Speaker 1: whatever he wants right now and nobody will heal and
44:10
Speaker 1: Cole had a big game last week. But return touchdown
44:13
Speaker 1: ninety one yard and another touchdown through the air and
44:17
Speaker 1: there you go. The uniforms have been unveiled. That'll do
44:21
Speaker 1: it for our program, Bucky. We will see you in
44:23
Speaker 1: the post game for the phone calls. John, Is there
44:25
Speaker 1: a dog in your lap? What is that? Rat? Dog
