- 0:02Speaker 1: Welcome to Huddle Up.
- 0:04Speaker 2: Frocks you by the field Shuttle Hook Jaguars Senior writer
- 0:09Speaker 2: John Oser, NFL Network analyst and former Jaguar Bucky Brooks,
- 0:13Speaker 2: and senior reporter J. P. Shaddick bringing you the latest
- 0:16Speaker 2: on your Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Huddle Up starts right now. It is Wednesday. It is
- 0:23Speaker 1: Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks. It is week ten.
- 0:26Speaker 3: J P.
- 0:26Speaker 1: Shadwick, John Osier here in Jacksonville from the Miller of
- 0:29Speaker 1: Electric Center in the Hundai Studios, Bucky Brooks in Los Angeles,
- 0:32Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers, and the Jaguars coming up. We'll
- 0:35Speaker 1: take a look at the latest Jaguars health. Not as
- 0:39Speaker 1: healthy as they've been since the first couple of weeks
- 0:42Speaker 1: of the season, with some defensive players back. Offensive lineman
- 0:45Speaker 1: Walker Little is back in the fold. The one wide
- 0:49Speaker 1: receiver question mark still up in the air. We'll get
- 0:51Speaker 1: to that. It is the start of the stretch run.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Three of the next four games are at the Bank.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Home field advantage is key for this Jags team after
- 1:00Speaker 1: winning five games in five different stadiums in four cities
- 1:04Speaker 1: before the bye. And uh here we are Bucky. Good
- 1:08Speaker 1: afternoon to you. What's up.
- 1:10Speaker 4: What's up?
- 1:10Speaker 5: That's what's happening. I missed you guys last week. I
- 1:12Speaker 5: missed you doing the bye week.
- 1:13Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what.
- 1:14Speaker 1: I missed you too, Bucky. I don't know if John
- 1:16Speaker 1: this week, but you know that's fine. What's up, Johnny?
- 1:20Speaker 6: I missed Bucky too. I mean it's it's uh uh,
- 1:24Speaker 6: we're back to it. I mean it's it's nine games left. Buck,
- 1:28Speaker 6: it's all out in front of him. Couldn't be in
- 1:29Speaker 6: a better situation.
- 1:31Speaker 5: Yeah, it's hard for me to think about nine games.
- 1:33Speaker 5: Just one one, one game at a time, John Coach. One,
- 1:37Speaker 5: just right here, Niners week. I don't know what happens
- 1:40Speaker 5: after that. I don't know what happened before. I just
- 1:42Speaker 5: know it's Niners week.
- 1:43Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 1:43Speaker 1: We just magically got to November somehow. I don't know
- 1:46Speaker 1: how that happened.
- 1:46Speaker 4: Yeah, right here.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Hey, let's hear from the head coach of the Jaguars,
- 1:51Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, about resetting following the bye week and moving forward.
- 1:57Speaker 3: You know, the bye is good for getting guys help
- 2:00Speaker 3: the rest, you know, clearing your mind and your head
- 2:04Speaker 3: and and you know, but when you get back in
- 2:07Speaker 3: it's it's you know, how do you maintain an edge.
- 2:11Speaker 3: How do you maintain you know, the ability to play
- 2:15Speaker 3: for four quarters? Those are all things that that are
- 2:17Speaker 3: that are real, you know, coming coming out of a break,
- 2:19Speaker 3: and those are the things that I'll be talking to
- 2:23Speaker 3: the team about this week and and you know, in
- 2:25Speaker 3: the next couple of weeks, and and but it all starts,
- 2:28Speaker 3: I think during the week of preparation, right in the
- 2:31Speaker 3: practice and then doing little things, you know, uh, extra conditioning,
- 2:35Speaker 3: getting in the weight room, training room, you know, all
- 2:39Speaker 3: those little things, getting rest at night. You know, those
- 2:41Speaker 3: are all big pieces to to how you play, not
- 2:44Speaker 3: only coming out of the bye, but but I think
- 2:46Speaker 3: as we move down, you know, the rest.
- 2:48Speaker 5: Of the year.
- 2:48Speaker 6: I have a question for Bucky the former player. And
- 2:53Speaker 6: it's interesting because I've been around a lot of coaches
- 2:55Speaker 6: and I haven't really heard any of them talk as
- 2:59Speaker 6: much as Doug does about playing four quarters, the ability
- 3:03Speaker 6: to maintain that edge. He talks so much about it,
- 3:07Speaker 6: but I'm sure other coaches talk about it and care
- 3:10Speaker 6: about it. But it seems like that should be easy.
- 3:15Speaker 6: But maybe that's something I guess why he's such a
- 3:20Speaker 6: good coach at teaching the late season stuff, at winning
- 3:24Speaker 6: close games. Am I onto something there or is that
- 3:27Speaker 6: just coach speak?
- 3:29Speaker 5: No, I think he does a really good job of
- 3:30Speaker 5: trying to keep them in the moment. And look, I
- 3:34Speaker 5: don't want to sound like the old man on the lawn,
- 3:36Speaker 5: but it's really hard in today's generation to kind of
- 3:38Speaker 5: keep guys focused and locked in, and so he tries
- 3:41Speaker 5: to break it up when he talks about the game
- 3:43Speaker 5: into four individual quarters and to try and keep guys
- 3:46Speaker 5: really focused on let's win these fifteen minutes, let's take
- 3:49Speaker 5: a break, let's decompress, then let's focus on this next
- 3:52Speaker 5: fifteen minutes.
- 3:53Speaker 4: It's hard to get guys to kind.
- 3:54Speaker 5: Of understand the challenge of going sixty minutes of complete concentration, consistent,
- 4:00Speaker 5: high level execution.
- 4:02Speaker 4: In those things.
- 4:03Speaker 5: And so that's why he's really harping on his team
- 4:06Speaker 5: about those things. Because the teams that are able to
- 4:08Speaker 5: do that, the teams that are able to be consistent
- 4:10Speaker 5: over time, are the ones that win. And so if
- 4:12Speaker 5: you can break that down to like four fifteen minute
- 4:16Speaker 5: quarters where you're playing great football and then go to
- 4:18Speaker 5: the next one, it gives your team a chance to
- 4:20Speaker 5: win the games that they're supposed to win. But also
- 4:22Speaker 5: knock off some of those teams that maybe they shouldn't
- 4:24Speaker 5: knock off in these highly contested games.
- 4:26Speaker 6: Yeah, and it seems like there's something to it, you know,
- 4:29Speaker 6: because he's been so much better in second year at
- 4:34Speaker 6: his stops. Then first year at his stops took a
- 4:37Speaker 6: little bit of time to win. And Philly they win
- 4:39Speaker 6: the Super Bowl last year, took a few games to
- 4:41Speaker 6: sort of learn how to win. So just interesting to
- 4:45Speaker 6: me JP, maybe to nobody else, but it makes sense
- 4:49Speaker 6: that was interesting.
- 4:49Speaker 1: It certainly is. It certainly helps you. You have almost
- 4:52Speaker 1: your full assortment of horses out of the barn to
- 4:55Speaker 1: go play it too. I mean, they were banged up
- 4:58Speaker 1: at the end, right before the bye week, they didn't
- 5:00Speaker 1: have two starting defensive backs. Both those guys are expected
- 5:03Speaker 1: to be back. Walker Little's back in the lineup. Now
- 5:06Speaker 1: they've traded for a backup and depth to guard as
- 5:09Speaker 1: well in Cleveland, and the only real question mark, the
- 5:13Speaker 1: big question mark, I think, And we'll get the official
- 5:15Speaker 1: report at some point, the injury report. But Jay Jones
- 5:17Speaker 1: off to the side again today getting some work in.
- 5:19Speaker 1: And I just didn't sound John from the head coach
- 5:24Speaker 1: earlier today, you know, especially like Monday in the Zoom call,
- 5:28Speaker 1: the the immediate idea of Zay being around wasn't quite there.
- 5:34Speaker 6: We would be surprised. I would be surprised if he
- 5:35Speaker 6: plays this week. I'd be a little surprised if he's
- 5:39Speaker 6: not back within four because that's the ir trigger. And
- 5:43Speaker 6: you would think. Zay talked in the locker room today
- 5:46Speaker 6: for the first time I think since he was hurt
- 5:49Speaker 6: against Buffalo, which is the last time he played, so
- 5:53Speaker 6: uh in the fact that he practiced limited and then talked,
- 5:57Speaker 6: he feels like I do if it words in his mouth,
- 6:02Speaker 6: But it seems like he feels like it's trending well,
- 6:06Speaker 6: where maybe it wasn't trending well the week that he
- 6:10Speaker 6: was supposed to come back and then didn't practice. Remember
- 6:12Speaker 6: that was I think Steelers week. So it feels like
- 6:16Speaker 6: he's further ahead than he was Steelers week. I would
- 6:21Speaker 6: say maybe Texans week he comes back. But that's again,
- 6:24Speaker 6: as I said a couple of times a day, that's
- 6:26Speaker 6: just my sort of interpreting these actions, not hearing anything
- 6:30Speaker 6: from anybody specific on that.
- 6:32Speaker 1: You know, if he's out there, bucket changes obviously a
- 6:35Speaker 1: lot of what you can do offensively and they've they've
- 6:38Speaker 1: been without him a lot of the year already and
- 6:40Speaker 1: they figured some things out. But you throw him back
- 6:42Speaker 1: out there, and bang, there's your offense.
- 6:44Speaker 5: Yeah, you're throwing back out that you have the offense
- 6:46Speaker 5: in this entirety, and you just think about what they've
- 6:49Speaker 5: been able to do, how they've absorbed some of the
- 6:51Speaker 5: injuries along the offensive line where they get the full
- 6:53Speaker 5: the offensive lineback, how they've had to deal with Zay
- 6:55Speaker 5: Jones not being available on.
- 6:57Speaker 4: The perimeter and having to kind of plug and play.
- 6:59Speaker 5: Well, if you get the full offense back, maybe we
- 7:01Speaker 5: will see some of the things that we talked about
- 7:03Speaker 5: in the summertime about how this offense could be so electric,
- 7:06Speaker 5: so explosive, so dynamic.
- 7:08Speaker 4: Well, now you've got to pull confident their weapons.
- 7:11Speaker 5: You should be able to get to some of that
- 7:13Speaker 5: when it comes to meeting those expectations as an offense.
- 7:17Speaker 6: Yeah, I think Jay Jones out is a big, big
- 7:20Speaker 6: deal on third down in red zone. I think that, yeah,
- 7:25Speaker 6: And you know, you don't want to say it's all him.
- 7:28Speaker 6: I mean, they've got enough talent where they should be
- 7:30Speaker 6: able to be effective without it. But if you think
- 7:32Speaker 6: about it, last year, how many big third down receptions,
- 7:37Speaker 6: how many big red zone moments. I keep thinking about
- 7:40Speaker 6: the two point conversion against the Ravens where that was
- 7:43Speaker 6: such a bang bang play, instinct timing with Trevor, and
- 7:47Speaker 6: also when Day's not in there, it's a lot easier
- 7:50Speaker 6: to shade toward Calvin because frankly, the guys behind Zay
- 7:55Speaker 6: have not shown that there's much of a threat, so
- 7:57Speaker 6: teams are not going to pay as much attention. So
- 7:59Speaker 6: I think he's a big deal. And I also think
- 8:02Speaker 6: Bucky that winning those last couple of games before the bye,
- 8:07Speaker 6: beating New Orleans, beating the Steelers without Walker Little, but
- 8:13Speaker 6: particularly without Tyson Campbell, there's little points in the season
- 8:18Speaker 6: that sort of stand out as, oh, they got those
- 8:21Speaker 6: couple which are going to help toward the division, toward
- 8:24Speaker 6: home field, towards seating. Getting those wins without Tyson Campbell
- 8:30Speaker 6: on the field, where I think you're really less of
- 8:34Speaker 6: a secondary without him, obviously, I think that could bode
- 8:36Speaker 6: well down the line.
- 8:39Speaker 5: Yeah, you talking about a confidence builder being able to
- 8:41Speaker 5: win without some of those pieces, because I'm be honest
- 8:43Speaker 5: with you, when you looked at the schedule, you just
- 8:44Speaker 5: thought about having to play without Tyson Gamble because he's
- 8:47Speaker 5: been so good for this team and he's the number
- 8:50Speaker 5: one corner for them to win without him, and win
- 8:52Speaker 5: without some of the other guys playing without Andre Cisco
- 8:55Speaker 5: being able to get it done. Didn't think that this
- 8:58Speaker 5: would happen. If you asked me last year, would they
- 8:59Speaker 5: be able to play without some of the key pieces?
- 9:01Speaker 4: I was like, no way.
- 9:01Speaker 5: But this really signals and shows the growth that this
- 9:05Speaker 5: team has made their tough, greedy team. They're able to
- 9:08Speaker 5: kind of play the next man up, which is kind
- 9:10Speaker 5: of a catchphrase that everyone uses, but they've been able
- 9:12Speaker 5: to do it, and so they're able to gain some
- 9:14Speaker 5: confidence from being able to play and win without some
- 9:17Speaker 5: of their blue chip players. Really bowls well for how
- 9:19Speaker 5: this team can finish down to stretch.
- 9:21Speaker 1: All Right, we'll come back in a moment. We'll hear
- 9:22Speaker 1: from the quarterback and we'll get into the San Francisco
- 9:26Speaker 1: forty nine Ers team that is five and three. They've
- 9:29Speaker 1: lost three straight. Don't let that fool you, though. This
- 9:33Speaker 1: is a powerful forty nine Ers squad. Bootleggers, get Ready, John,
- 9:38Speaker 1: that includes you. Luke Combs is ringing two nights of
- 9:41Speaker 1: the Growing Up and Getting Old two into EverBank Stadium
- 9:43Speaker 1: May third and fourth, twenty twenty four, different special guests
- 9:46Speaker 1: each night. Tickets on sale now visit EverBank Stadium dot
- 9:51Speaker 1: com and just's Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks.
- 10:04Speaker 7: I think the difficult part of it is that they're
- 10:05Speaker 7: both just they're both great players, so that's what makes
- 10:08Speaker 7: it hard. I don't think you know, of course, there's
- 10:10Speaker 7: gonna be things that you might have to adjust to
- 10:11Speaker 7: in the game, and you're kind of guessing on where
- 10:14Speaker 7: they're gonna play, what they're gonna do, which side they're
- 10:16Speaker 7: gonna play on, you know, so you don't really know
- 10:18Speaker 7: that stuff, but that's something you adjust early. I think
- 10:20Speaker 7: from a planning perspective, you kind of you go into it.
- 10:25Speaker 7: We've played some good edge guys this year and uh
- 10:27Speaker 7: Pittsburgh being an example of that, so we're used to
- 10:30Speaker 7: having plans for that. But now it's a new guy
- 10:32Speaker 7: with Nick, and obviously Nick's a great player and chases too.
- 10:35Speaker 7: So at the end of the day, you gotta you
- 10:38Speaker 7: gotta win your matchups. You gotta be able to block them.
- 10:40Speaker 7: We gotta help gott to help our tackles. We gotta
- 10:43Speaker 7: get the ball out. We got to run the ball great,
- 10:45Speaker 7: all those things. That's kind of what helps. But the
- 10:48Speaker 7: nd of the day, you got to go block them.
- 10:49Speaker 7: And when it's two ends, you kind of know what
- 10:51Speaker 7: they're gonna do. They gotta pick a side and they're
- 10:53Speaker 7: gonna rush, and they're gonna, you know, play with instincts
- 10:55Speaker 7: and those guys are good players.
- 10:58Speaker 1: So there's a quarterback Trevor Lawrence discussing the ed rushers
- 11:02Speaker 1: for the San Francisco forty nine ers. Welcome back and
- 11:05Speaker 1: huddle up with Bucky Brooks, j P Shadrick, John Osier,
- 11:07Speaker 1: and Jacksonville. Bucky out in LA and that leads us
- 11:11Speaker 1: into discussion about the San Francisco forty nine Ers team.
- 11:16Speaker 1: At the deadline, they go out and get Chase Young
- 11:19Speaker 1: to join. Already a very good defense and a group
- 11:23Speaker 1: that can at least affect the passer. They may not
- 11:27Speaker 1: have a huge sack total, kind of like the Jaguars defense,
- 11:29Speaker 1: right they only have Jaggs only have sixteen sacks, the
- 11:32Speaker 1: forty nine ers only have eighteen, but Nick Bosas hit
- 11:35Speaker 1: the quarterback nineteen times. On the other side, they add
- 11:37Speaker 1: Chase Young to the mix. Bucky, I have a question
- 11:40Speaker 1: for the scout as John often does. What does the
- 11:44Speaker 1: addition of Young do for the rest of that front?
- 11:48Speaker 1: How much does it change how you have to scheme
- 11:51Speaker 1: it up on the offensive line and chip and use
- 11:53Speaker 1: some of the things that Trevor was talking about.
- 11:56Speaker 4: Hope we don't Chase Young joining the crew.
- 12:01Speaker 5: It is part of their philosophy to make sure that
- 12:03Speaker 5: they dominated the point of attack. Chase Young gives them
- 12:06Speaker 5: another dominant, disruptive player at the point of attack. He's
- 12:10Speaker 5: been up and down since being what the defensive rookie
- 12:13Speaker 5: of the year, but he is a guy when wired
- 12:15Speaker 5: and locked in, he can absolutely take over games. And
- 12:18Speaker 5: because he's joining a team that already has the reigning
- 12:21Speaker 5: defensive player of the year also has a dominant player
- 12:24Speaker 5: in Eric Armstead, he now gets to be a complimentary
- 12:27Speaker 5: piece to this defensive puzzle. That is a scary thought
- 12:30Speaker 5: for a team that loves to get after it at
- 12:32Speaker 5: the point of attack. It also means that rather than
- 12:35Speaker 5: blitzing like they've been blitzing more this year, they can
- 12:38Speaker 5: play coverage and rush before and rely on their four
- 12:41Speaker 5: man rush to be able to.
- 12:42Speaker 4: Get home play maximum coverage. It creates some problems.
- 12:46Speaker 5: This is the Niners team they play fast, they're physical,
- 12:49Speaker 5: they like to overwhelm you with their year talent. They're
- 12:52Speaker 5: kind of the bullies on the block, and so this
- 12:54Speaker 5: will be a great test for the Jaguars, not only
- 12:57Speaker 5: in terms of dealing with their talent and the espreshing
- 13:00Speaker 5: prowess at the point of attack, but the overall mindset
- 13:03Speaker 5: of a team that thinks that they can come in
- 13:05Speaker 5: and bully any and everybody at any time.
- 13:08Speaker 6: Yeah, I think for me, clearly a Jaguars offense versus
- 13:13Speaker 6: forty nine defense point of view, I think the Jaguars
- 13:16Speaker 6: rightfully feel like, well, we just played two really good
- 13:19Speaker 6: edge rushers two weeks ago, Watt and high Smith. And
- 13:24Speaker 6: not to take anything away from the forty nine ers guys,
- 13:26Speaker 6: but I would say that that's a pretty similar in
- 13:29Speaker 6: terms of talent on both sides. I think when you
- 13:34Speaker 6: combine the fact that this offense of the forty nine
- 13:37Speaker 6: ers is so good and so dangerous, the forty nine
- 13:42Speaker 6: Ers offensively can do so much more with it when
- 13:47Speaker 6: their defense gives you that break, Like the Steeer has
- 13:51Speaker 6: got a couple of breaks against the Jaguars, then couldn't
- 13:52Speaker 6: take advantage of it. So that's what's dangerous to me,
- 13:55Speaker 6: the fact that this forty nine Ers offense is so versatile,
- 13:58Speaker 6: so dangerous. I got the idea that the Jaguars are
- 14:03Speaker 6: not scared, but are confident in their ability to handle
- 14:10Speaker 6: the pass rush. That's true, and I'm sure they are,
- 14:14Speaker 6: but I didn't get a great sense of, oh my goodness,
- 14:18Speaker 6: we're going to get something we haven't seen before today.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Which was they did it last week. Yeah, I mean
- 14:22Speaker 1: they you know, two weeks ago.
- 14:23Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 14:24Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a different, different animal. I'm gonna tell you that,
- 14:27Speaker 5: and I'll tell you just from talking to other teams
- 14:28Speaker 5: we had to deal with the forty nine ers. They
- 14:30Speaker 5: played with a different edge. They played with a different
- 14:32Speaker 5: level of physicality and toughness. I love the Pittsburgh still
- 14:35Speaker 5: is and all the stiller.
- 14:36Speaker 4: Is embody, but they're not the forty nine ers.
- 14:39Speaker 5: Remember, I think this Pittsburgh still has played the Niners
- 14:41Speaker 5: early and it was a blood bath. And so this
- 14:44Speaker 5: is a different test for the Jaguars. This is one
- 14:47Speaker 5: of those heavyweights that are on your schedule where you
- 14:50Speaker 5: get an opportunity to see how good you are. You're
- 14:53Speaker 5: a team with Super Bowl aspirations, where you're dealing with
- 14:55Speaker 5: the team that is a legitimate Super Bowl contender, and
- 14:59Speaker 5: so this will be one though out the ex's and o's.
- 15:02Speaker 5: This is about the Jimmies and Joe's and the level
- 15:04Speaker 5: of physicality and toughness that will be displayed in the bank.
- 15:08Speaker 5: And this should have a bit of a playoff feel
- 15:11Speaker 5: because this is a team coming off three straight losses.
- 15:14Speaker 4: They're looking to get back on track.
- 15:15Speaker 5: And for the Jaguars, this is an opportunity to send
- 15:18Speaker 5: a statement to the rest of the league.
- 15:20Speaker 4: The Jaguars win this one.
- 15:22Speaker 5: Now, the conversation is this team has an opportunity to
- 15:25Speaker 5: get up to the number one seed and the AFC.
- 15:27Speaker 5: So it's a big game, not just because of those implications,
- 15:31Speaker 5: but just mano a mono, how good are you? This
- 15:35Speaker 5: is going to be an old school backyard bro.
- 15:37Speaker 6: I have two thoughts. First of all, you're correct, Bucket.
- 15:39Speaker 6: That should be. But you know what it'll be if
- 15:41Speaker 6: the Jaguars win this game, Well, the forty nine ers
- 15:43Speaker 6: have lost four in a row. That's what the national
- 15:47Speaker 6: because they'll want to.
- 15:48Speaker 1: Right wrong with forty nights.
- 15:50Speaker 6: But it will show me that again that they're that
- 15:54Speaker 6: kind of a team, and not just to clarify so
- 15:56Speaker 6: I don't look like a football idiot, which I usually am.
- 15:59Speaker 6: I was in no way saying that the Steelers were
- 16:02Speaker 6: the same contest overall as the forty nine Ers. I
- 16:05Speaker 6: just meant in terms of the pass rush.
- 16:08Speaker 1: I guess, yes, Okay, that's being you here is John? Yeah?
- 16:18Speaker 6: Is that feeling Jaguars win this. I'm not a big
- 16:23Speaker 6: national media guy. I don't care about it. But the
- 16:25Speaker 6: theme will be what's wrong with the Niners, not what's
- 16:28Speaker 6: great about the Jacks.
- 16:29Speaker 1: A lot of people do, apparently, though, care about the
- 16:31Speaker 1: national media stuff.
- 16:32Speaker 6: It's a thing. Well Bucky obviously does apparently.
- 16:34Speaker 4: I mean, I mean a little bit, but not really.
- 16:37Speaker 4: It's not it's not really that.
- 16:39Speaker 5: And yes, there'd be some conversation about the Niners and
- 16:43Speaker 5: like what's going.
- 16:43Speaker 4: On with them?
- 16:44Speaker 5: But I think everybody in the building, whether they admit
- 16:48Speaker 5: it or not, this game has been circled on the
- 16:50Speaker 5: no doubt, and it's been circled because it is an
- 16:53Speaker 5: opportunity to really see how good you are. People law
- 16:56Speaker 5: at the Niners for the level of talent that they
- 16:58Speaker 5: have on both sides of the when you talk about
- 17:01Speaker 5: some of their positions they may have the best player
- 17:04Speaker 5: at the respective position at left tackling, Trent Williams at
- 17:07Speaker 5: tight end, and George Kittle at running back, and Christian
- 17:10Speaker 5: McCaffrey at middle linebacker and Fret Warner. Some will talk
- 17:13Speaker 5: about Nick Bosa being the best pass rusher. So when
- 17:16Speaker 5: you think about all of those blue chip players that
- 17:20Speaker 5: you're facing, Man, you go total toe with this team
- 17:22Speaker 5: and you handle this team changes how people look at
- 17:25Speaker 5: the Jaguars. So this is a big game just in
- 17:28Speaker 5: terms of kind of seeing where we are. It's not
- 17:30Speaker 5: the end all be off at the Jaguars dropped this.
- 17:32Speaker 5: It's not the end of the world.
- 17:34Speaker 4: But man, if you.
- 17:35Speaker 5: Win this one, now those Super Bowl things that you
- 17:37Speaker 5: begin to talk about, now there's some legitimacy to that conversation.
- 17:42Speaker 1: All right, we'll come back and take a closer look
- 17:44Speaker 1: at this forty nine Ers offense and how this Jaguars
- 17:47Speaker 1: defense can match up against them. Jags fans want customized

- 18:00Speaker 1: It's huddle up with Bucky Brooks.
- 18:05Speaker 3: You know, first thing, the schedule gets a little more
- 18:07Speaker 3: normal for us here in the last half of the season.
- 18:12Speaker 3: You know, we haven't played our best football at.
- 18:16Speaker 4: Home, which is crazy.
- 18:18Speaker 3: You know, those two early games that that we didn't
- 18:20Speaker 3: we didn't play very well.
- 18:21Speaker 1: And you know, those are all things that we have
- 18:23Speaker 1: to we have to do better.
- 18:25Speaker 3: Right we're playing in front of our fans. We're at home,
- 18:28Speaker 3: you know, our stadium, our locker room, and we've got
- 18:33Speaker 3: to feed off the energy obviously the crowd and and
- 18:36Speaker 3: uh and play our best football, you know, and and
- 18:39Speaker 3: especially in the second half of the season. That's something
- 18:41Speaker 3: that you know, if if you want that home field
- 18:45Speaker 3: advantage or try to play for home field advantage, you
- 18:47Speaker 3: got to do it at home. That's why they call
- 18:49Speaker 3: it home field advantage. So you know, we've just got
- 18:53Speaker 3: to we've just got to focus in on that and
- 18:55Speaker 3: and just continue to improve.
- 18:58Speaker 1: That's the head coach of course, Doug Peter. You're sending
- 19:00Speaker 1: the team that won five games in five different stadiums
- 19:04Speaker 1: in four cities over a seven time zone span before
- 19:07Speaker 1: the bye week now has three of the next four
- 19:09Speaker 1: at home, and it's huddled up with Bucky Brooks. Jack,
- 19:12Speaker 1: that's John Oser. Bucky Brooks is in la Yes, John, Well.
- 19:15Speaker 6: That's why he's the head coach. He's a couple of
- 19:16Speaker 6: steps ahead. He knows that homefield avanage has to be
- 19:19Speaker 6: done at home.
- 19:19Speaker 1: That's kind of how it works.
- 19:20Speaker 6: You cannot take that away from It's.
- 19:22Speaker 1: Certainly how it works. If you're headed to String Sports
- 19:26Speaker 1: Brewery Thursday night to watch All Access presented by Field's
- 19:29Speaker 1: Auto group, the Jaguars and Tide have partnered up for
- 19:32Speaker 1: a clothing drive and you'll have the opportunity to bring
- 19:35Speaker 1: your donation to Strings the night of the show. Well,
- 19:39Speaker 1: you know how much is to that? Obviously, the home
- 19:42Speaker 1: field helps the defense, right Bucky? I mean this is
- 19:44Speaker 1: you get the noise going, and you get the silent
- 19:47Speaker 1: count going, and you get everything that goes with that.
- 19:51Speaker 1: Let's start with the defense. And we know they're really
- 19:53Speaker 1: good against the run. We know they're good on third down.
- 19:56Speaker 1: They're number one in the league in takeaways, tied for first.
- 20:00Speaker 1: What's the next step for this defense? What can they
- 20:03Speaker 1: do better in the next nine games?
- 20:05Speaker 4: I would say domination in terms of all forms.
- 20:08Speaker 5: So you've been good against the run, which forces opponents
- 20:10Speaker 5: to be one dimensional. That gives you an opportunity to
- 20:13Speaker 5: get after the pass of which creates turnovers on tips
- 20:16Speaker 5: and overthrows.
- 20:17Speaker 4: The next part of that is being able to.
- 20:19Speaker 5: Throw blankets over great wide receivers to really nullify what
- 20:24Speaker 5: teams have to do to counter the aggressive way that
- 20:26Speaker 5: the Jaguars play, and so that means better coverage, tighter coverage,
- 20:31Speaker 5: make sure all parties are communicating in the backhand so
- 20:34Speaker 5: you don't have slip ups that allow big plays or
- 20:37Speaker 5: big throws over the top. Of the defense is continue
- 20:40Speaker 5: to take those incremental steps to become what we call
- 20:42Speaker 5: an elite defense. They're really good, I would say, a
- 20:45Speaker 5: very good defense, but elite is different. If this team
- 20:49Speaker 5: has an elite defense, now you begin to talk about
- 20:52Speaker 5: them going deep into the tournament because your offense can
- 20:55Speaker 5: come and go, but if your defense is air tight,
- 20:57Speaker 5: it gives you a chance to always advance.
- 21:00Speaker 6: Yeah, those are good goals, and I think they But
- 21:06Speaker 6: I mean, when I say that to me, if this
- 21:11Speaker 6: defense plays nine twelve more games, assuming the Super Bowl here,
- 21:19Speaker 6: at the level that they've played so far, that should
- 21:25Speaker 6: be enough. If the offense is doing what I think
- 21:30Speaker 6: it can, I mean, you always want to keep getting better,
- 21:34Speaker 6: but they I think what's interesting about this defense, they
- 21:39Speaker 6: know exactly what they are. Somebody pointed out a stat
- 21:42Speaker 6: and may have been me pointing out to myself looking
- 21:43Speaker 6: it up. They're third in the NFL against the run,
- 21:48Speaker 6: and they're eighteen and takeaways, or they lead the league
- 21:50Speaker 6: with eighteen takeaways. If you ask any one of them
- 21:54Speaker 6: during training camp what their two focuses are, it's stopping
- 21:58Speaker 6: the run and I turned the ball over. So they're
- 22:00Speaker 6: playing how they want to play. And pass rush maybe
- 22:03Speaker 6: could be a little bit better, but I think that
- 22:05Speaker 6: I think the pass rush is so much better than
- 22:06Speaker 6: people give it credit for. So I'm going to say
- 22:08Speaker 6: they're incremental improvements they can make on defense, Bucky.
- 22:11Speaker 3: But I.
- 22:13Speaker 6: Think they're pretty darn good defensively. This is enough to
- 22:17Speaker 6: me to win at all. If if the defense is
- 22:20Speaker 6: more I mean, if the offense is more efficient.
- 22:21Speaker 1: Just keep it rolling, just keep it.
- 22:24Speaker 4: Look.
- 22:25Speaker 5: I agree with you, and you know you obviously want
- 22:27Speaker 5: the offense to be more efficient and whatever. But from
- 22:30Speaker 5: a defensive standpoint, Mike Callwell and the crew in that
- 22:34Speaker 5: defensive meeting room, they can't.
- 22:35Speaker 4: Worry themselves about what the offense is doing. And so
- 22:38Speaker 4: when they set those.
- 22:39Speaker 5: Lofty goals and raise those standards. They have to do
- 22:42Speaker 5: it as if the offense is going to continue to
- 22:43Speaker 5: do what they've done through the first eight nine games,
- 22:46Speaker 5: which may be a little here and there and sputtering
- 22:49Speaker 5: and spurs, but they may not be able to get
- 22:50Speaker 5: the contributions that many of us expected.
- 22:52Speaker 4: And so if they.
- 22:53Speaker 5: Can win with the offense performing like this and they
- 22:56Speaker 5: can be okay with that, then you really have an
- 22:58Speaker 5: opportunity to do special things at the end of the year.
- 23:01Speaker 6: I'm going to go back to the home thing a
- 23:02Speaker 6: little bit, because I know that's a theme everybody loves
- 23:05Speaker 6: stats and I'm writing it for tomorrow, So I'm not
- 23:07Speaker 6: criticizing anybody for hopping onto this thing, but the whole
- 23:12Speaker 6: thing of well, they're one and two at home and
- 23:14Speaker 6: they're five and zero away from here, I kind of
- 23:18Speaker 6: get the idea that that's more circumstantial than it is
- 23:21Speaker 6: anything else, meaning I think early in the season they
- 23:25Speaker 6: were trying to find themselves a little bit, and they
- 23:28Speaker 6: happened to play two home games Kansas City and Houston.
- 23:32Speaker 6: They didn't play very well. I guess my point is
- 23:38Speaker 6: I don't think that those were, oh they played poorly
- 23:41Speaker 6: at home losses as much as they were. I think
- 23:45Speaker 6: they'd played that way anywhere they lose those games. I
- 23:48Speaker 6: think they're going to be fine at home. I think
- 23:49Speaker 6: they're a good home team. I think they proved it
- 23:51Speaker 6: late last year that they're good at home. So again,
- 23:55Speaker 6: I wrote it, so I played into it too. But
- 23:58Speaker 6: I think I think they're a good team nowhere to
- 24:02Speaker 6: where they are, and they happened to have their two
- 24:04Speaker 6: eggs so far at every Bank State.
- 24:07Speaker 1: Guys, let's get into this San Francisco offense a bit here,
- 24:11Speaker 1: and let's start on the offensive line. Bucky you mentioned
- 24:13Speaker 1: his name earlier, Trent Williams left tackle and the battle
- 24:17Speaker 1: against Josh Allen this week, who you know has been
- 24:20Speaker 1: the best overall defensive player for the Jaguars so far
- 24:23Speaker 1: the season with nine sacks, all the quarterback hits, really
- 24:26Speaker 1: good against the run, impactful all the time. Get your
- 24:29Speaker 1: popcorn ready for this matchup?
- 24:31Speaker 4: Yeah, gets bob one ready.
- 24:33Speaker 5: This is the best offensive tackle that you were facing
- 24:35Speaker 5: an Astro football league. The guy not only athletically has
- 24:38Speaker 5: every tool that you look for in a left tackle,
- 24:41Speaker 5: he has a nasty demeanor and kind of this edgy
- 24:45Speaker 5: persona that really he's a bully man. He is a
- 24:49Speaker 5: nightmare on Elm Street when it comes to the way
- 24:51Speaker 5: that he plays this game. So for Josh Allen, it
- 24:55Speaker 5: is about not only being able to have the savvy
- 24:58Speaker 5: and the technique to be able to beat them, but
- 24:59Speaker 5: you got to have the mindset because this is a
- 25:01Speaker 5: guy that will bury you at the end of runs.
- 25:04Speaker 5: He doesn't mind throwing you at the club when he's
- 25:06Speaker 5: in past protection. He is he is exactly what you
- 25:10Speaker 5: want at the position. So this would be a huge
- 25:12Speaker 5: challenge for Josh Allen. He's going to need to bring
- 25:14Speaker 5: his a game to be able to have an impact
- 25:16Speaker 5: coming off the edge.
- 25:17Speaker 1: You got two of them in that one, John Streets
- 25:21Speaker 1: two and one a Bogo.
- 25:24Speaker 6: I've never had a night mare on Elm Street, but
- 25:26Speaker 6: I've been thrown out of.
- 25:27Speaker 1: The clubb Yeah. So it starts there obviously, and then
- 25:30Speaker 1: you get to the weapons and what this offense can do.
- 25:33Speaker 1: And you know you got Deebo Samuel, you got McCaffrey,
- 25:38Speaker 1: you who can line up everywhere, and you got George Kettle.
- 25:40Speaker 1: I mean, what else do you really need on offense? Bucky?
- 25:43Speaker 1: Let's ask him play.
- 25:43Speaker 6: What do you think John Ohhrase, This is a question
- 25:45Speaker 6: for the Scout because I'm gonna ask it anyway. Is
- 25:49Speaker 6: this as when you're throwing Kyle Shanahan's play calling ability
- 25:53Speaker 6: and ability to use his personnel? Is this as tough
- 25:57Speaker 6: a matchup as you have in terms of McCaffrey and
- 26:01Speaker 6: Deebo Samuel can both do so much? I guess, Bucky,
- 26:06Speaker 6: do you think this is what teams are going to
- 26:07Speaker 6: try to do moving forward in the future or are
- 26:10Speaker 6: these guys just so unique that what Frisco does with
- 26:14Speaker 6: them is sort of exclusive to what they can do
- 26:19Speaker 6: because of their talents.
- 26:21Speaker 5: Okay, I'm spending some time in the Bay Area, John,
- 26:24Speaker 5: Be careful using the word Frisco.
- 26:26Speaker 4: They get mad about that.
- 26:27Speaker 5: If you say Frisco instead of San Francisco with the city,
- 26:30Speaker 5: they get really upset about that because Oakland is referred
- 26:33Speaker 5: to as the town.
- 26:34Speaker 4: San Francisco is referred to as the city.
- 26:37Speaker 5: Just be careful outside of them, you talk, they get
- 26:39Speaker 5: mad about that. I don't want deboy them to find
- 26:41Speaker 5: you on the sideline with their beatbox and kind of
- 26:44Speaker 5: talk to you about that. When it comes to the Niners, Yeah,
- 26:50Speaker 5: when it comes to the Niners in the offense, yeah,
- 26:52Speaker 5: the interchangeability that they have with their playmakers. That's what
- 26:55Speaker 5: everyone wants. There's been this push in basketball, they call
- 26:58Speaker 5: it positionless basketball, where you have all these six, seven, six,
- 27:01Speaker 5: eight guys that can play point guard in the center
- 27:04Speaker 5: one through five. In football, you're seeing some of that
- 27:06Speaker 5: happen on offense, where you have running backs that can
- 27:10Speaker 5: play wide receiver. Wide receivers that can line up in
- 27:13Speaker 5: the backfield and run the ball like backs. Well, CMC
- 27:16Speaker 5: and Deebo Samuel are really kind of the prototypes when
- 27:20Speaker 5: it comes to being able to interchange guys and move
- 27:22Speaker 5: them around. The Thing about this team and what has
- 27:25Speaker 5: really made them more dangerous since Christian McCaffrey's come over,
- 27:29Speaker 5: he's really destraughted, stirs to drink because his ability to
- 27:32Speaker 5: play in the backfield and how wide dictates how you
- 27:36Speaker 5: have to cover this team. And so of the three
- 27:39Speaker 5: that you mentioned, McCaffrey, Deebo, and Kittle, the emphasis has
- 27:44Speaker 5: to be on stopping Christian McCaffrey. He has scored a
- 27:47Speaker 5: touchdown and he scored a scrimmage touchdown in seventeen straight games.
- 27:51Speaker 4: That's an NFL record.
- 27:52Speaker 5: He's currently the leading rusher in the National Football League,
- 27:56Speaker 5: but he is also very effective as a receiver out
- 27:58Speaker 5: of the backfield. He is someone who is a problem.
- 28:02Speaker 5: I think if you asked Mike Calwell and those guys,
- 28:05Speaker 5: they spent most of their time trying to figure out
- 28:08Speaker 5: how to handle him, and then they will deal with
- 28:11Speaker 5: some of the one on one matchups that you have
- 28:12Speaker 5: to put out there with Deebo and Kittle, Christian McCaffrey.
- 28:16Speaker 4: If he goes big, it's hard for you to beat them.
- 28:19Speaker 5: If you contain him, you can win games with Deebo
- 28:22Speaker 5: and George Kittle having productive games in the past game,
- 28:27Speaker 5: but you cannot let Christian McCaffrey get busy as a
- 28:29Speaker 5: runner or receiver. It absolutely sets the table for everybody
- 28:32Speaker 5: else to get loose.
- 28:33Speaker 6: Yeah, I asked about sort of the trend of the game,
- 28:37Speaker 6: and I think in relation to that, I don't think
- 28:41Speaker 6: Christian will change the game on that front. If you
- 28:45Speaker 6: remember Bucky in the early two thousands, everybody talked about
- 28:49Speaker 6: the Rams offense sort of changing the game because of
- 28:51Speaker 6: Marshall fault. Well, as it turns out, there's really I
- 28:55Speaker 6: think they're very comparable the two players, Faulk McCaffrey. The
- 28:59Speaker 6: thing is there's a those guys only come along once
- 29:02Speaker 6: every twenty years, So you know, it's sort of like
- 29:05Speaker 6: back in the day when everybody said, well, they're all
- 29:08Speaker 6: looking for the next LT. He's going to change defense. Well,
- 29:11Speaker 6: there's only been one of them, so I don't know
- 29:14Speaker 6: that he'll change the game as much as he's just
- 29:17Speaker 6: a generational running back.
- 29:19Speaker 4: He is a generational running back.
- 29:20Speaker 5: But here's where it changes, and he's kind of a
- 29:22Speaker 5: product of what I call the seven on seven era. Now,
- 29:26Speaker 5: more than any other time in football history, you have
- 29:30Speaker 5: guys playing football year round. So you have the regular
- 29:33Speaker 5: season where guys are in past, but then in the
- 29:35Speaker 5: offseason they're running around in shorts and T shirts, catching passes,
- 29:39Speaker 5: running routs and those things.
- 29:41Speaker 4: And so what that has done, that has.
- 29:43Speaker 5: Produced a lot of running backs who have wide receiver
- 29:46Speaker 5: like skills. So we talk about Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamar,
- 29:50Speaker 5: where the new generation will be a b Jon Robinson,
- 29:52Speaker 5: Jamiir Gibbs, guys who can get out in space and
- 29:56Speaker 5: legitimately run rals like slot receivers where you have to
- 30:00Speaker 5: think about them and maybe even consider them wide receivers
- 30:02Speaker 5: that can make plays in the backfield.
- 30:04Speaker 4: What it has done and Chris McCaffrey.
- 30:07Speaker 5: Look, he's in the thousand, one hundred club where he
- 30:10Speaker 5: had a thousand rush yards and one hundred catches, a
- 30:12Speaker 5: thousand and a thousand, we had a thousand receiving yards and.
- 30:15Speaker 4: A thousand rushing yards.
- 30:16Speaker 5: He's unique, but he has inspired a bunch of other
- 30:19Speaker 5: running backs to figure out, I can do a bunch
- 30:22Speaker 5: of different things. If I can catch the ball and
- 30:24Speaker 5: run it, it allows me to be so much more
- 30:26Speaker 5: effective in so many different ways. And I don't have
- 30:29Speaker 5: to take the pounding of just being the Derrick Henry
- 30:32Speaker 5: type that just kind of pounds it in there between
- 30:34Speaker 5: the tackles.
- 30:34Speaker 6: And San Francisco is lucky to have him.
- 30:37Speaker 1: Yeah, be careful of that.
- 30:39Speaker 4: I'm saving you. I'm just saving you. I'm saving you.
- 30:42Speaker 6: Can I call the city, Bucky? Can I call it
- 30:44Speaker 6: the city? Is that?
- 30:44Speaker 4: Okay? You can't call it the city? They appreciate this.
- 30:47Speaker 6: Okay, all right, Well maybe I made up for.
- 30:49Speaker 1: It, final, San fran Can we say that thought? Can
- 30:54Speaker 1: I just did? Guess what I did?
- 30:56Speaker 7: It?
- 30:57Speaker 1: Rock Party the real deal? Or is he?
- 31:01Speaker 8: Or is he an answer? Because of all the weapons
- 31:03Speaker 8: he has around him? But that's the million dollar question.
- 31:06Speaker 8: That's the question that's been floated around a lot. I
- 31:09Speaker 8: would say that he is the perfect past first point
- 31:12Speaker 8: guard for this offense. This offense is a video game offense,
- 31:16Speaker 8: and Kyle Shanahan wants to use the quarterback like a joystick.
- 31:19Speaker 4: He wants him to be able to make his dreams
- 31:21Speaker 4: come to life. And Brock Purdy is able to do that.
- 31:24Speaker 5: Doesn't move around like they thought they were going to
- 31:26Speaker 5: have when they had Trey Lance and those things. But
- 31:29Speaker 5: what he is is someone who can get the ball
- 31:32Speaker 5: from point A to point B when he plays within himself.
- 31:34Speaker 5: He does a really good job of running this offense.
- 31:37Speaker 5: He has, I would say what they like to talk
- 31:39Speaker 5: about now. He has some dog in him.
- 31:41Speaker 4: He's a fierce competitor in those things.
- 31:43Speaker 5: He's had some struggles the last three or four games,
- 31:46Speaker 5: but this is a guy that can't be slept on.
- 31:49Speaker 5: He is more than just a byproduct of the system.
- 31:52Speaker 5: He's a really good player who is kind of put
- 31:54Speaker 5: in the perfect storm, right cast of weapons around him,
- 31:58Speaker 5: really creative play call, and it works because he knows
- 32:01Speaker 5: exactly how to play the game to wait that his
- 32:03Speaker 5: coach wants it. He's a good player. I don't know
- 32:05Speaker 5: if he could do this elsewhere, but he's a really
- 32:08Speaker 5: good player in the system and in doing what they're
- 32:10Speaker 5: asking him to do.
- 32:12Speaker 6: Yeah, Bucky said that. Well, it's people in this day
- 32:17Speaker 6: and age either want to say you stink or you're great,
- 32:21Speaker 6: you're the guy, or you're a bust. I mean he
- 32:24Speaker 6: wants to well, I don't think brock perty is necessarily
- 32:28Speaker 6: one of the top three or four guys, but he's
- 32:30Speaker 6: really good. And that doesn't necessarily mean if if you
- 32:35Speaker 6: put him in, you know whatever, proto type quarterback, offensive
- 32:40Speaker 6: guy right now, I don't know if he's that, but
- 32:46Speaker 6: that doesn't mean he stinks, doesn't mean he's not capable.
- 32:48Speaker 6: I think he's really good. And they certainly liked him
- 32:50Speaker 6: enough to change the course of their franchise, so they
- 32:56Speaker 6: think he's good and he's playing good thing. He is
- 33:00Speaker 6: second in the league in San Francisco.
- 33:01Speaker 1: In San Francisco, California, we're back in up home and
- 33:05Speaker 1: our final thoughts ahead of this San fran Jack's matchup.
- 33:12Speaker 6: In week ten, there was a day you couldn't say
- 33:14Speaker 6: it about Jacks.
- 33:15Speaker 1: So that day is fine.
- 33:17Speaker 9: This is huddle up with Bucky Brooks well.

- 34:12Speaker 1: The whole deal's going on Homecoming weekend. John. It's a
- 34:15Speaker 1: lot happening here at the Bank. And oh yeah, yeah,
- 34:18Speaker 1: the big football game too, the Niners and the Jaguars.
- 34:21Speaker 1: Something we've been looking forward to for a long long time. Yeah,
- 34:24Speaker 1: it didn't get flexed. Whatever doesn't matter. Now, big ball game,
- 34:28Speaker 1: one o'clock. T it up.
- 34:29Speaker 6: Let's go, John, Yeah, I mean, and it's one of
- 34:32Speaker 6: when you play a first place schedule you play five
- 34:34Speaker 6: first place teams the next year. There was a one
- 34:37Speaker 6: in one of those games so far. So I think
- 34:39Speaker 6: Doug said it best today, not necessarily a game that
- 34:42Speaker 6: they're looking at as a circle the calendar date, although
- 34:45Speaker 6: as Bucky said earlier in the show, I think there's
- 34:48Speaker 6: a little bit of a idea. I think they're tired
- 34:51Speaker 6: of talking about measuring sticks because they're six and two.
- 34:55Speaker 6: But I think if you win this game, it does
- 35:01Speaker 6: help how you feel about yourself.
- 35:04Speaker 4: Yeah, it's one of those things.
- 35:05Speaker 5: I mean, they are kind of like a mirror in
- 35:09Speaker 5: terms of being able to figure out who you really are.
- 35:12Speaker 5: And talking to teams who have played against this team,
- 35:14Speaker 5: they've really beat you up. They pride themselves and their
- 35:17Speaker 5: physicality and toughness.
- 35:18Speaker 4: They feel like when they step on the field, they're
- 35:20Speaker 4: toughening you.
- 35:21Speaker 5: And if they can get the game on their terms,
- 35:23Speaker 5: where it's a physical affair, where they can kind of
- 35:25Speaker 5: dictate the pace and the tempo of the game by
- 35:27Speaker 5: kind of beating you up and hitting you at every turn,
- 35:29Speaker 5: they feel like eventually you'll wilt under the pressure and
- 35:33Speaker 5: the consistent and constant harassment.
- 35:36Speaker 4: For the Jaguars, look, they understand that.
- 35:38Speaker 5: They've talked about kind of being gritty and grimy and
- 35:42Speaker 5: embracing that persona. Well, this will be an opportunity for
- 35:45Speaker 5: them to not only show themselves that they can do it,
- 35:47Speaker 5: but to show the football world that they are okay
- 35:49Speaker 5: with playing a very very rough and physical style and
- 35:53Speaker 5: winning that way.
- 35:54Speaker 1: The Jaguars are getting to a point, John and Bucky
- 35:57Speaker 1: that the measuring stick. Yeah, there's a measuring stick game
- 36:00Speaker 1: the other team. I mean, that's what it is. There's
- 36:02Speaker 1: six and two, and they're in first place, and they
- 36:05Speaker 1: certainly if they win this one all of a sudden
- 36:07Speaker 1: seven and two, you're in the number one conversation in
- 36:09Speaker 1: the AFC.
- 36:10Speaker 6: Well, I kind of get Doug's point with it. I
- 36:12Speaker 6: get that people don't think of these teams that way.
- 36:15Speaker 6: But the last they've beaten the Bills. If the Bills
- 36:18Speaker 6: had won that game, their six and three, they've beaten
- 36:22Speaker 6: the Saints. Who if the Saints had beaten the Jaguars,
- 36:24Speaker 6: their six and three beat the Steelers if the Steelers
- 36:27Speaker 6: beating the Jawards are seven and two. So I think
- 36:30Speaker 6: all of the Jags wins this year have come against
- 36:32Speaker 6: teams that have been had winning records when they played them.
- 36:34Speaker 6: So at some point the Jaguars are are fair to say, hey,
- 36:39Speaker 6: we're beating good teams. I mean, and no, they haven't
- 36:42Speaker 6: played the elite of the I mean, they've meet the elite,
- 36:45Speaker 6: the elite start, but they've handled what they can handle.
- 36:51Speaker 6: So I still think they're better people giving credit for.
- 36:53Speaker 6: I don't know if they win Sunday, but I think
- 36:55Speaker 6: they're better. Give better than people giving credit for. Uh
- 36:59Speaker 6: maybe even Bucky.
- 37:03Speaker 5: I think no, no, no, I think the I think the
- 37:05Speaker 5: Jags are a really good team. But I think the
- 37:08Speaker 5: jump from good to great is significant. And if you
- 37:12Speaker 5: want to be a great team, you have to be
- 37:13Speaker 5: able to handle these games.
- 37:15Speaker 4: And these are fun games. These should be fun games
- 37:17Speaker 4: for us. This is what you want to see.
- 37:18Speaker 5: You want to see marquee matchups where you're taking on
- 37:21Speaker 5: good teams, and as you begin to win these games,
- 37:25Speaker 5: you begin to have a lot of confidence that when
- 37:27Speaker 5: you get into the tournament and you face whoever you
- 37:29Speaker 5: have to face along the way, you have a really
- 37:32Speaker 5: good sense that you'll be able to get knock them
- 37:33Speaker 5: off and get it done.
- 37:35Speaker 1: All right, Bucky, safe travels, have a great week. We'll
- 37:37Speaker 1: see you at the Bank on Sunday one o'clock, Frisco
- 37:42Speaker 1: and the Jaguars. Yeah, I said it.
