0:41
Speaker 1: Oser sitting right beside me. The Jaguars visit the Detroit
0:44
Speaker 1: Lions in Week thirteen. A battle of four and seven
0:48
Speaker 1: teams and plenty to get to as we break down
0:51
Speaker 1: the matchup this week. Trevor Lawrence coming off a fantastic
0:55
Speaker 1: month of November, but the next time he takes a
0:57
Speaker 1: snap in a game, the calendar will turn to December. Yes,
1:00
Speaker 1: it's a battle of four and seven teams, but it
1:03
Speaker 1: is a big ball game for head coach Doug Peterson
1:06
Speaker 1: and this team. The guys understand that it is a
1:09
Speaker 1: big game because it's the next one. And just like them,
1:14
Speaker 1: you know, I'm our goals are right in front of us,
1:17
Speaker 1: you know, and and um, this is a this is
1:21
Speaker 1: a good football we got. What we have is a
1:23
Speaker 1: staff have to get across our players that we're playing
1:26
Speaker 1: a good football team. And and and I think they're
1:30
Speaker 1: saying the same things. They're they're playing a good football team.
1:33
Speaker 1: So it's we're kind of the same in a way.
1:36
Speaker 1: And I've heard, you know, uh, Coach Campbell talked about
1:40
Speaker 1: that the other day. That's very similar teams and both
1:42
Speaker 1: playing for a lot, you know. Um, And so yeah,
1:46
Speaker 1: I think just from that standpoint, you could probably consider it,
1:49
Speaker 1: you know, in the in the big game category, that'
1:52
Speaker 1: Stug Peterson earlier today. The entire press conference available on
1:55
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot com Jaguars social media. Bucky as the late
2:00
Speaker 1: right John Madden once said, tell me when there's a
2:03
Speaker 1: little game. There's no such thing as a little game
2:06
Speaker 1: in the NFL. No no such thing as a little game.
2:09
Speaker 1: And what we're seeing now more than ever as really
2:11
Speaker 1: any given Sunday. The parody in the league makes it
2:13
Speaker 1: where you have to be ready to play each and
2:15
Speaker 1: every week. You can't worry about what the record is.
2:17
Speaker 1: The other team always has good players and if they
2:20
Speaker 1: play their game, they certainly can win. And for the
2:23
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, you're talking about a team that they're calling
2:26
Speaker 1: card is their toughness and their effort. Dan Campbell has
2:28
Speaker 1: really preached at from day one. When you look at
2:31
Speaker 1: the team and look at the tape, they played to
2:33
Speaker 1: that brand. And so this would be a real big
2:36
Speaker 1: challenge for the Jaguars to kind of deal with the
2:38
Speaker 1: team deprive himself from being a more physical team. Yeah,
2:41
Speaker 1: and it's an interesting game because it sort of feels
2:45
Speaker 1: a little like early in the season when you got
2:49
Speaker 1: two wins and then you wanted to see him sort
2:52
Speaker 1: of build on that and show you that they are
2:55
Speaker 1: what they think they are. They didn't do that early
2:58
Speaker 1: in the season, But now of a sudden, you've got
3:00
Speaker 1: two out of the last three, one over a Ravens
3:03
Speaker 1: team that I think is a significant win because of
3:06
Speaker 1: what that franchise is um. But if you lose Sunday,
3:12
Speaker 1: it sort of falls on deaf ears with a fan
3:14
Speaker 1: base a little bit. I mean it, I think they'll
3:17
Speaker 1: still feel the excitement from Sunday. But you know, you
3:20
Speaker 1: win one, now you got three or four, and now
3:23
Speaker 1: you really are on the graphic in the conversation whatever.
3:27
Speaker 1: I think you need to go get this one to
3:31
Speaker 1: convince a lot of people who don't follow it all
3:33
Speaker 1: the time that what's you're doing is real. So I
3:34
Speaker 1: think it's it's kind of a cool opportunity in that
3:37
Speaker 1: sense for this team. Yeah, it's funny that you bring
3:42
Speaker 1: that up, John about bringing everyone on board, because I
3:45
Speaker 1: do feel like there's, uh, if this was we were
3:47
Speaker 1: jumping rope, this is like a game of double dutch.
3:50
Speaker 1: You're kind of waiting to jump in and really believe
3:53
Speaker 1: that the Jaguars can win, but you need a little
3:55
Speaker 1: more convincing. The game against the Ravens kind of perk
3:59
Speaker 1: up some years and drew some eyes to the team.
4:01
Speaker 1: But now can you beat a team that many on
4:03
Speaker 1: the outside would say that you're supposed to be just
4:05
Speaker 1: because of the name Detroit, and so with the Lions,
4:09
Speaker 1: and with the Lions playing the way that they play,
4:11
Speaker 1: if the Jaguars can go on the road, can knock
4:13
Speaker 1: them out and can beat the Lions at their own game.
4:17
Speaker 1: Then you put a feather in your cap, and then
4:18
Speaker 1: you do begin to get that momentum that buzz around
4:22
Speaker 1: the organization that can kind of lead you on a
4:23
Speaker 1: little bit of a run down to stretch. There're gonna
4:26
Speaker 1: be wrong, JP, I think, regardless of whether they win
4:29
Speaker 1: Sunday or not, Sunday to me showed that you have
4:34
Speaker 1: a foundation now because I don't think you do what
4:37
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence did in that game. If if you're not
4:41
Speaker 1: going to be good, I don't think you fluke into
4:44
Speaker 1: how he played. So it's gonna be there. I watch
4:49
Speaker 1: that game the other night thinking, Okay, now you can
4:53
Speaker 1: start building, you start going and start feeling good about it.
4:56
Speaker 1: I'm talking against the Lions for the short term, you know.
4:59
Speaker 1: I think ever he's gonna play well enough and his
5:01
Speaker 1: team is gonna play well down the stretch at some
5:03
Speaker 1: point people are gonna start believing. But in a short term,
5:07
Speaker 1: this one's big for the guy. All the reasons that
5:09
Speaker 1: Bucky said, yeah, no doubt and uh, you know, to
5:12
Speaker 1: your point about Trevor Lawrence obviously good for the entire game,
5:16
Speaker 1: a career best passer rating, but exceptionally good on the
5:19
Speaker 1: final drive, seven of nine passing on that two minute
5:22
Speaker 1: drive to get down and get the touchdown, pass a
5:24
Speaker 1: fourth down conversion early in the drive, they overcame a
5:28
Speaker 1: sack and and got in the end zone, and then
5:31
Speaker 1: he throws a dart on the two point play to
5:33
Speaker 1: to get the lead for good, and that put the
5:36
Speaker 1: the cherry on top of a career day for the quarterback, Bucky,
5:40
Speaker 1: and really a fantastic month. Three straight games now over
5:43
Speaker 1: a rating for Trevor Lawrence, who is finding his stride,
5:47
Speaker 1: and now the question will be, obviously can he sustain
5:50
Speaker 1: this going down the stretch with six games to go? Bucky, Yeah,
5:54
Speaker 1: he's been really impressive, and he's been impressive since the
5:58
Speaker 1: Denver game in terms of just the composure employees, the
6:01
Speaker 1: ability to bounce back from poor plays. Doug Peterson talked
6:04
Speaker 1: about that after the game, just how um he's kind
6:08
Speaker 1: of found himself, and I think the coaching staff has
6:10
Speaker 1: also had the opportunity to be with him enough to
6:12
Speaker 1: kind of make the game easier for him. I think
6:14
Speaker 1: the Bibe week did wonders for the team and for
6:17
Speaker 1: the quarterback in terms of matching up his favorite plays
6:21
Speaker 1: with the things that works for his game. And so
6:24
Speaker 1: as they continue to build this out with Doug Peterson
6:26
Speaker 1: and uh Trevor Lawrence forming a partnership, I think you
6:29
Speaker 1: are going to continue to see great things. But the
6:31
Speaker 1: big thing for me being field level watching the throws.
6:35
Speaker 1: There's no doubt this guy is a franchise player in
6:38
Speaker 1: terms of the talent, because the throws that he made
6:40
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the Ravens, those are big time throws.
6:43
Speaker 1: Those are top five player the position type throws. Those
6:47
Speaker 1: are the throws that you want to see with the anticipation,
6:49
Speaker 1: the touch and the timing. Uh. He did that. And
6:52
Speaker 1: so as he continues to build on that, the team
6:55
Speaker 1: around him begins to believe in his superpowers. And so
6:59
Speaker 1: I think it's all good going forward. Now can he
7:01
Speaker 1: continue to stack these solid performances on top of each other?
7:05
Speaker 1: But can he play double Dutch? Is ever? Everybody? Hey, Bucky,
7:13
Speaker 1: I'm wondering. Um, I'll give you credit for this because
7:16
Speaker 1: I think you said it early in the season. Strikes me.
7:19
Speaker 1: Then in the last three games, and I'll knock on
7:22
Speaker 1: wood because you want to keep seeing it. The accuracy
7:26
Speaker 1: for Trevor, you know you haven't seen the sail balls
7:30
Speaker 1: as much. You've seen more consistent throwing. And I think
7:35
Speaker 1: you said earlier on this show that you thought that
7:39
Speaker 1: would come and it maybe some of the early stuff
7:41
Speaker 1: had to do with just not yet being comfortable in
7:45
Speaker 1: the offense, not yet knowing exactly what he was going
7:47
Speaker 1: to be doing every play. Um Am, I onto something
7:51
Speaker 1: there is that coming together for that reason, just the
7:54
Speaker 1: comfort level, I think. So. I think he's very very
7:59
Speaker 1: comfortable in what they're asking him to do. He's very
8:01
Speaker 1: comfortable seeing it. I think they've done some things to
8:04
Speaker 1: make the game very easy for him in terms of
8:07
Speaker 1: repeating plays and repeating plays maybe from different UH formations,
8:11
Speaker 1: but conceptually it's still the same read for the quarterback.
8:14
Speaker 1: And so as a as a good coach, what you
8:17
Speaker 1: try and do is make it hard for the opponent
8:20
Speaker 1: easy for your players. And so I think Doug has
8:22
Speaker 1: kind of got into his bag with the creativity that
8:25
Speaker 1: figure out a way to recycle these plays and concepts
8:28
Speaker 1: while presenting a different picture to the defense. Z Jones
8:32
Speaker 1: career day at the office last week. Career high targets, catches, yards,
8:38
Speaker 1: did not get a touchdown. He only has one this year.
8:40
Speaker 1: In fact, but of course the game winning two point conversion.
8:44
Speaker 1: And he's just as cool and calm as can be
8:47
Speaker 1: in that locker room. That mind is always moving though
8:49
Speaker 1: he was still having there late in the locker room today.
8:52
Speaker 1: And um boy, that what what an outstanding performance for
8:56
Speaker 1: day A guy who's had some moments this season, Bucky,
8:59
Speaker 1: but that was a breakout day for the free agent
9:02
Speaker 1: wide receiver, absolute breakout day. Um. And I think the
9:07
Speaker 1: big thing is we've we've talked about how this receiver
9:10
Speaker 1: corps would evolve and how it would grow and who
9:12
Speaker 1: would feel certain roles. And I think what you have
9:16
Speaker 1: is a situation where you don't have a true number
9:18
Speaker 1: one receiver. What you have are a bunch of either
9:21
Speaker 1: high end two s or you get split it up one, A,
9:23
Speaker 1: B and C with these guys playing interchangeable roles. And
9:26
Speaker 1: what I mean that Christian Kirk, z A. Jones and
9:28
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones. Depending on the day, depending on the matchup,
9:31
Speaker 1: they can take turns being the anchor of the passing game.
9:34
Speaker 1: Z Joneses day was Sunday. He was up. They found him,
9:38
Speaker 1: they found the matchup that they liked. They went to
9:40
Speaker 1: him repeatedly and he delivered. And I will say that
9:43
Speaker 1: some of those catches that he made look routine were
9:45
Speaker 1: very difficult. The two point conversion at the end, Man,
9:49
Speaker 1: that's a hard catch over the shoulders. Like the way
9:51
Speaker 1: that he called it underhanded to the corner. That was
9:54
Speaker 1: a dark, great hand, great nation. I mean, unbelievable, Yeah,
10:00
Speaker 1: thrown hard to im you mean interrupt you, Bucky. Um.
10:03
Speaker 1: I know it's your show. I don't, I don't want,
10:06
Speaker 1: but it was a dark It was unbelievable to see
10:09
Speaker 1: him catching like that, soft hands and all that you know,
10:11
Speaker 1: and but you tell me, I don't want to look
10:15
Speaker 1: too far. Hey, he has six games left. But I'm
10:19
Speaker 1: not sure where Marvin Jones is going to fit into this.
10:23
Speaker 1: I hope he's back uh as a guy in this offense.
10:27
Speaker 1: But just looking ahead to Ridley, Za, Jones, and Christian Kirk,
10:34
Speaker 1: it seems like all those guys sort of comfroment each
10:36
Speaker 1: other in terms of roles. I mean, if Ridley is
10:39
Speaker 1: a one, Z becomes a really good outside too, and
10:43
Speaker 1: then you've got Christian nut I don't call him a
10:45
Speaker 1: pure slot, but he works well in that All of
10:48
Speaker 1: a sudden you've got a receiving corps Uh, they can
10:52
Speaker 1: all put up some numbers and be significant within the offense. Yeah.
10:57
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny because we had an opportunity to
10:59
Speaker 1: look at it, and so with this uh kind of works.
11:01
Speaker 1: The better to quarterback, the easier it is to do
11:04
Speaker 1: what the Jaguars are attempting to do. So a couple
11:06
Speaker 1: of weeks ago we went to Kansas City. We saw
11:09
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes played with a bunch of guys that were
11:11
Speaker 1: high end number two's, more complimentary players than what I
11:14
Speaker 1: would say franchise pass catchers. But because the quarterback is
11:18
Speaker 1: so good, they can take turns uh doing damage, whether
11:21
Speaker 1: that's m vs. Juju Smith Schuster, we saw Kadarius Tony.
11:25
Speaker 1: Even though the games are different for the Jaguars wide receivers,
11:28
Speaker 1: if you have Calvin Really playing alongside Christian Kirkin's A Jones,
11:32
Speaker 1: they're interchangeable in terms of all these guys are great
11:35
Speaker 1: route runners. Each guy can play inside or outside. So
11:38
Speaker 1: now what Doug talks about is basically just moving people around.
11:41
Speaker 1: Run the same plays, but maybe different guys are changing
11:45
Speaker 1: who's the primary, who's the secondary, who's the third. When
11:48
Speaker 1: you do that, then it becomes difficult for the defense
11:52
Speaker 1: to build a game plan to defend you, because do
11:54
Speaker 1: I defend the players or do I defend the players.
11:56
Speaker 1: If I defend the players, now the plays may get
11:59
Speaker 1: me in a bond. And so I think in a
12:01
Speaker 1: perfect world, what Doug would like to have is that
12:04
Speaker 1: kind of flexibility where I can change the picture make
12:06
Speaker 1: it very difficult for the offense, But for the quarterback
12:09
Speaker 1: it's the same concept. I'm just getting to my spot
12:11
Speaker 1: and I'm reading my progression and the ball goes to
12:13
Speaker 1: the open guy. Final thought on the offense here. Travis
12:17
Speaker 1: et N Junior in the locker room just a minute ago,
12:19
Speaker 1: said he was pretty confident that he'll be ready to
12:21
Speaker 1: go on Sunday. He is on the injury report, limited
12:25
Speaker 1: with a foot issue today. One of four players on
12:28
Speaker 1: the list today is A Jones limited with a chess issue,
12:32
Speaker 1: Andre Cisco with a shoulder issue limited, Roy Robertson Harris
12:36
Speaker 1: uh Roy Robertson Harris did not practice today with an illness.
12:39
Speaker 1: So either way now, Travis E. T N played just
12:42
Speaker 1: a little bit in that game last week, but Hasty
12:44
Speaker 1: stepped up in a big way. Obviously had the early
12:47
Speaker 1: touchdown catch on another nice throw from Trevor. But if
12:50
Speaker 1: E t n is back in there and all of
12:53
Speaker 1: a sudden that you know, they weren't really running the
12:55
Speaker 1: ball a lot last week. They didn't have to do
12:57
Speaker 1: a lot of that. But Hasty stepped in pretty well
12:58
Speaker 1: in his place. It looked like Bucky, Yeah he did.
13:01
Speaker 1: And I'm glad that he had an opportunity to play
13:03
Speaker 1: because I think what happens is he has shown flashes,
13:06
Speaker 1: like I think he had a big run against the
13:08
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Coats where we saw him breakout. We've seen flashes
13:12
Speaker 1: and moments where he's had um these things. But we
13:15
Speaker 1: finally got a chance to see him stay on the
13:16
Speaker 1: field the entire game. And so there you talk about
13:18
Speaker 1: a guy who almost got a hundred scrimmage yards, did
13:21
Speaker 1: it in a different fashion, but he did it on fifteen,
13:24
Speaker 1: uh seventeen touches. And so now you begin to think about, Okay,
13:28
Speaker 1: maybe they can stack this up where you have Travis Etienne,
13:30
Speaker 1: Jamachael Hasty Um at some point Darryl Henderson is going
13:34
Speaker 1: to get on the field and all of these guys
13:36
Speaker 1: are more of your speed change of pacebacks, Well, now
13:39
Speaker 1: you kind of deploy them differently based on how this
13:42
Speaker 1: offense is going to be utilized. And so I know
13:45
Speaker 1: for a long time we are conditioned to think about
13:47
Speaker 1: the Jaguars running game and the backfield being a ground
13:50
Speaker 1: and pound tight but this is not it. This is
13:53
Speaker 1: going to be the passing attack kind of dominating it,
13:57
Speaker 1: and then the running games supplementing everything with these creative
14:02
Speaker 1: touches so that you did you see the toss crack,
14:04
Speaker 1: you see some of the other things where we're getting
14:06
Speaker 1: on the edges where you're not necessarily pounding between the tackles,
14:09
Speaker 1: but you're trying to get on the edges and use
14:11
Speaker 1: the passing game, the screen game, to swing game, use
14:14
Speaker 1: that a little bit as part of your running game
14:16
Speaker 1: to get these chunk plays that you kind of saw
14:18
Speaker 1: them deliver with James Jamaicael Hasty plenty more ahead. We'll
14:22
Speaker 1: return and get into the defense for this Jags team.
14:26
Speaker 1: Some changes last week. How many of those stick moving ahead,
14:30
Speaker 1: including at the linebacker position that's coming up. It's time
14:34
Speaker 1: to deck the halls. Duvall join a Sunday, December eighteen,
14:38
Speaker 1: as Trevor Lawrence leads a charge against Dak Prescott and
14:41
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. Whether you're gifting the game or treating yourself.
14:45
Speaker 1: We've got tickets to fit every budget. Visit Jaguars dot com.
14:48
Speaker 1: Slash tickets are called nine oh four six three three
14:51
Speaker 1: two tho. This is Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks on
14:55
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Digital Network. You know, you look at a
15:07
Speaker 1: win like Sunday and and the way we want how
15:10
Speaker 1: we want wasn't perfect. There were there were mistakes in
15:12
Speaker 1: the game, but to finish that game, right, I mean,
15:16
Speaker 1: that game could easily you're one turn over there at
15:19
Speaker 1: the end of the game going you know, going their way,
15:21
Speaker 1: and it's a ballgame, right that that the fumble that
15:23
Speaker 1: Trevor had and um, we haven't been able to get
15:27
Speaker 1: those back in that game. We did and and we
15:31
Speaker 1: stayed on the field. We you know, we made plays
15:33
Speaker 1: down the stretch. We learned how to finish and and
15:35
Speaker 1: that's what that's what those guys, that's what it means
15:37
Speaker 1: to those guys to be able to do that and
15:39
Speaker 1: see that and um, you know, just kind of feel
15:43
Speaker 1: that emotion you know after the game, and that's what uh,
15:47
Speaker 1: you know, that's what you're trying to get to know.
15:48
Speaker 1: Each tweet that said coach Doug Peterson of course earlier
15:52
Speaker 1: today and welcome back. It's huddled up with Bucky Brooks.
15:55
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, ahead of Week thirteen, the Jaguars face the
15:58
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions a battle of war and seven teams up
16:01
Speaker 1: at Ford Field and Downtown Detroit. The yeah, Jaguars defense
16:07
Speaker 1: in last week's game, well, early in the game, they
16:11
Speaker 1: you know, they gave up some yardage, but then held
16:14
Speaker 1: in the red zone three different times to force short
16:16
Speaker 1: field goals for the Ravens. That you know, it felt
16:20
Speaker 1: like early in that game, Bucky, that the Ravens could
16:22
Speaker 1: have put some more points on the board. They missed
16:24
Speaker 1: a couple throws Lamar Jackson, but credit the Jags defense
16:29
Speaker 1: early for keeping it within striking distance. And then of
16:31
Speaker 1: course the back and fourth ball game at the end
16:34
Speaker 1: there changed the whole dynamic of it. But if it,
16:37
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for the early play of the defense,
16:39
Speaker 1: they might not get to that fourth quarter. Yeah, not
16:41
Speaker 1: for the early play, the defense did a really good
16:43
Speaker 1: job staying on point. Uh. When you think about being
16:47
Speaker 1: able to stay on point, a lot of it is
16:49
Speaker 1: just just being to make sure that you don't let
16:54
Speaker 1: them in the end zone. And so all week Doug
16:56
Speaker 1: Peterson had talked about making sure you keep the ball
16:58
Speaker 1: in front, make people drive distance, see if you can
17:01
Speaker 1: make them set up ful field goals as supposed to
17:02
Speaker 1: touchdowns and to give you a chance, and so that
17:05
Speaker 1: ben but don't break philosophy is certainly not sexy, but
17:07
Speaker 1: it's very effective if your team is very, very good
17:11
Speaker 1: in the red zone. And so when you get that combination,
17:13
Speaker 1: you get an efficient performance from the offense. It enables
17:16
Speaker 1: you to run teams down in the fourth quarter. And
17:18
Speaker 1: so the Jacks were able to do that and get
17:20
Speaker 1: it done. Look how many times this season have we
17:24
Speaker 1: sat here and said, if the Jaguars had just scored
17:28
Speaker 1: a time or two more in the red zone, it's
17:29
Speaker 1: a different game. So I feel like the other day
17:32
Speaker 1: they won one, sort of reversing in a way they
17:36
Speaker 1: had lost before. And uh, when you're playing a high
17:39
Speaker 1: powered team like the Ravens and you are a young
17:43
Speaker 1: team trying to learn how to win, that's how you
17:46
Speaker 1: do it in the NFL. If you know they're a
17:50
Speaker 1: little out manned, I think got defensive. I mean, I
17:52
Speaker 1: think the Ravens are a hard team to stop. Maybe
17:56
Speaker 1: a month ago that game gets away from him and
17:58
Speaker 1: they led him into the end zone, and you do
18:00
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to come back. So uh, I think
18:04
Speaker 1: Bucky alluded this. We've been talking all year about the
18:09
Speaker 1: big picture of how they learned to win a game. Well,
18:15
Speaker 1: the offense at the end of the game I clearly
18:16
Speaker 1: showed that they're learning that. But throughout the game, the
18:19
Speaker 1: defense sort of showed that it was learning. Okay, we
18:23
Speaker 1: gave it four and twenty yards, but at those big moments.
18:26
Speaker 1: I talked about breaking serve all the time in the NFL.
18:28
Speaker 1: That's what I gauge defenses on now, because I think
18:30
Speaker 1: you're gonna give up yards, do you come through in
18:32
Speaker 1: the big moments? I over and over again this year,
18:36
Speaker 1: this team hasn't. On on Sunday they did defensively. Yeah,
18:41
Speaker 1: on Sunday they certainly came through, and I think the
18:45
Speaker 1: big thing and talking to uh Wingered and for your
18:48
Speaker 1: lu Khan after the game, they talked about the emphasis
18:51
Speaker 1: over the bye week had been all simplification, making sure
18:54
Speaker 1: that everyone understood exactly what they were doing on defense,
18:58
Speaker 1: that it was clear they had clear heart and fast
19:01
Speaker 1: rules that enabled everyone to play fast because they knew
19:03
Speaker 1: exactly what they're doing what the expectation was of every
19:07
Speaker 1: player on the field. The other thing they talked about
19:10
Speaker 1: was just making sure that um the communication was great
19:15
Speaker 1: on the field, meaning that dbs communicating with the linebackers,
19:18
Speaker 1: linebackers communicating with the dbs and the front line, so
19:22
Speaker 1: that you didn't have these coverage bus um he didn't
19:25
Speaker 1: see it on the record, but he alluded to maybe
19:28
Speaker 1: at the end of the game when he gave up
19:29
Speaker 1: a big shot to de Sean Jackson, maybe there was
19:32
Speaker 1: a coverage bus where someone was out of alignment, someone
19:35
Speaker 1: did something that weren't so supoot, and that's why de
19:37
Speaker 1: Sean Jackson was was opened down the field. But for
19:40
Speaker 1: the most part, the team they played tight. They did
19:42
Speaker 1: a really good job keeping the ball in front. And
19:44
Speaker 1: in this league, if you don't turn it over and
19:46
Speaker 1: you don't let it fly to the top of the defense,
19:48
Speaker 1: you're going to have an opportunity to win games. And
19:50
Speaker 1: so the Jaguars made some strides because for the most
19:54
Speaker 1: part they didn't allow those things to happen. Linebacker play,
19:58
Speaker 1: of course, a little cutting had a career hide eight
20:01
Speaker 1: teen tackles in the game. The going into the game,
20:05
Speaker 1: and and you see in your screen there what happened?
20:07
Speaker 1: Thirteen of those were solo tackles and now over a
20:10
Speaker 1: hundred and actually hundred thirteen for the season, the third
20:13
Speaker 1: most in the National Football League. But the one of
20:16
Speaker 1: the big storylines going into the game was just to
20:19
Speaker 1: the side of him with a change that the other
20:22
Speaker 1: linebacker spot, Chad Muma played every snap in the game,
20:26
Speaker 1: the rookie linebacker out of Wyoming and thug. Peterson mentioned
20:29
Speaker 1: today that that might not change and Movement played well
20:33
Speaker 1: enough to continue to stay in there. Devin Lloyd had
20:36
Speaker 1: some time. They had some three linebacker looks last week.
20:38
Speaker 1: Considering the offense on the other side for Baltimore, you
20:41
Speaker 1: might not see a lot of that. It could change
20:43
Speaker 1: week to week. Obviously they had some three safety looks too.
20:46
Speaker 1: But would you would you make Amma's game Bucky and um?
20:50
Speaker 1: Can he carry this the rest of the way? Yeah?
20:54
Speaker 1: I like this, you know, I like playing Chad Mama
20:58
Speaker 1: a lot. I was a big fan of is doing
21:00
Speaker 1: the free draft process. I thought he's one of the
21:02
Speaker 1: best linebackers in the pool, and so now you bring
21:05
Speaker 1: him in and he is playing his natural spot, meaning
21:07
Speaker 1: he's an off the ball linebacker. Great communicated, great diagnostic skills. Uh.
21:12
Speaker 1: He plays fast and he has the kind of energy
21:14
Speaker 1: that you like to have on the field. For Devin Lloyd,
21:17
Speaker 1: I think the big thing for him is not necessarily
21:20
Speaker 1: an indictment on his talent or what he could do
21:23
Speaker 1: in terms of his potential, But I think it's about
21:25
Speaker 1: finding the right spot for him on the field. At Utah,
21:29
Speaker 1: he was the guy that spent a lot of his
21:30
Speaker 1: time playing on the edges, a little time as an
21:33
Speaker 1: off the ball linebacker, but he was at his best
21:35
Speaker 1: when he was able to hawk the quarterback, come off
21:38
Speaker 1: the edge, blitz, do some of those things. So it's
21:41
Speaker 1: on the defensive coordinator in the defense staff to figure
21:43
Speaker 1: out a way to elevate Devon Lloyd. But Chad Muma
21:46
Speaker 1: is slotted in his right spot. That's why I think
21:48
Speaker 1: we've seen him have the amount of success that he's
21:50
Speaker 1: had thus far. Yeah, I just wonder how that's gonna look.
21:54
Speaker 1: I mean it's uh, you know, I agree with Bucky
21:57
Speaker 1: at at some point. Uh, Like I said it's before
22:03
Speaker 1: in the show, Devin Lloyd clearly has playmak ability, playmaking
22:08
Speaker 1: ability in the NFL. We've seen it. We say it's
22:12
Speaker 1: what three interceptions this year too, multiple pass breakups, fumble recovers.
22:17
Speaker 1: He's got that knack and at some point you guys
22:20
Speaker 1: havep calling it a knack. He's got the ability to
22:21
Speaker 1: do it. How they put that on the field, where
22:25
Speaker 1: they put it at that have happened, because thank you're
22:28
Speaker 1: alluding alluding to this earlier JP. The sets that Lloyd
22:34
Speaker 1: was on the field for the other day aren't gonna
22:37
Speaker 1: be in the scheme very often. And if you're not
22:40
Speaker 1: playing Lamar Jackson, because that was a Lamar Jackson Baltimore
22:43
Speaker 1: Raven centric scheme. So how do you get him on
22:46
Speaker 1: the field. Um, I'll be watching that Sunday. I don't
22:50
Speaker 1: know the answer, But that's a big, big it's a
22:53
Speaker 1: big storyline, and special teams could be the answer to
22:55
Speaker 1: that too. Yeah, But like I mean, reality of it,
23:00
Speaker 1: he's a number one pick, he's a first round pick,
23:02
Speaker 1: so the first round pick has to you have to
23:04
Speaker 1: get value out of him beyond just a kicking game.
23:07
Speaker 1: And so I would say that that's a conversation where
23:10
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson has with the defensive coordinator, Hey, how do
23:13
Speaker 1: we get him on the field playing and doing the
23:15
Speaker 1: things that he does? Really well, you guys need to
23:17
Speaker 1: sit here and figure out the packages that we can
23:20
Speaker 1: utilize each and every week to get Devin Lloyd on
23:23
Speaker 1: the field because he has to be on the field,
23:24
Speaker 1: because he's an impactful player. Even though he's been up
23:28
Speaker 1: and down, there's been a ton of times where he's
23:30
Speaker 1: been around the ball, he's made places and those things,
23:32
Speaker 1: and so part of coaching is taking what a player
23:35
Speaker 1: does really well and not asking him to do the
23:37
Speaker 1: things that he doesn't do well. So I would anticipate
23:40
Speaker 1: him have an opportunity to rush the pass in some way,
23:43
Speaker 1: shape or form, get on the field, do some some
23:46
Speaker 1: package things, but he'll have a rope in terms of
23:48
Speaker 1: your every down backer. Chad Moan is an off the
23:51
Speaker 1: ball back who deserves the start. And then for you
23:53
Speaker 1: a Loi Koan is the traffic cop. He's got this directing.
23:56
Speaker 1: So those two guys have to be on the field,
23:58
Speaker 1: but you still have to find a way to get
23:59
Speaker 1: Devin l Wait on the field in some roll. Huddle
24:02
Speaker 1: Up with Bucky Brooks was brought to you by Fields
24:05
Speaker 1: Auto Group, Jacksonville. Step up to Luxury Fields Auto dot Com.
24:09
Speaker 1: We're back at a moment with a look at the
24:11
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. They have a former number one overall draft
24:15
Speaker 1: pick at quarterback as well, Jared Goff the number two
24:19
Speaker 1: overall picked this year, Aidan Hutchinson. All that coming up,
24:22
Speaker 1: and this is Attle Up with Bucky Brooks on the
24:24
Speaker 1: Jaguars Digital Network. It's tough to really get to, I think,
24:30
Speaker 1: get to know guys during that process. It's so short
24:33
Speaker 1: and brief, um, you know, and then getting even a
24:38
Speaker 1: top thirty visit, you know, in your building and things
24:40
Speaker 1: like that, it's still not enough time to really get
24:43
Speaker 1: to know somebody. But I'll say this, I mean this
24:46
Speaker 1: kid was professional. Um, the way he acted, the way
24:50
Speaker 1: he spoke, the way he handles his business, you know
24:52
Speaker 1: when he was here. Um, just you just know guys
24:55
Speaker 1: like that are gonna have success in a sleep. That
24:58
Speaker 1: stug Peterson in the full press conference on Jaguars dot com,
25:01
Speaker 1: and of course Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence spoke this afternoon.
25:04
Speaker 1: That's also available on the Jaguars social media channels Twitter, Facebook,
25:09
Speaker 1: and YouTube. It's untle Up with Bucky Rooks, j P Shadrick,
25:12
Speaker 1: John Ozier, and Jacksonville. Bucky out in Los Angeles, and
25:16
Speaker 1: that's the head coach discussing Aiden Hutchinson. Of course, the
25:19
Speaker 1: number two overall pick in the NFL draft went to
25:22
Speaker 1: Detroit from Michigan, and of course number one overall Trayvon Walker,
25:27
Speaker 1: So that'll be a storyline this week. They don't line
25:29
Speaker 1: up against each other, but the comparisons are only just beginning,
25:34
Speaker 1: Bucky with East two in the NFL, and they could
25:37
Speaker 1: go for a long time considering they were picked one
25:40
Speaker 1: and two overall. Yeah, they will go for a long
25:43
Speaker 1: time because the Jaguars pick Trayvon Walker over Aiden Hutchinson,
25:46
Speaker 1: even though for the majority of the leader to the draft,
25:50
Speaker 1: Aidan Hutchinson appeared to be the guy who was rated
25:54
Speaker 1: higher than Walker based on most outside observers. Down dead
25:57
Speaker 1: doesn't matter because the Jaguars right the players base on
26:00
Speaker 1: how they expected them to play for them and not
26:02
Speaker 1: what the outside world thinks. But when you look at
26:04
Speaker 1: Aidan Hudginson production, it's going to be a debate, It's
26:07
Speaker 1: gonna be a conversation. He has five and a half sacks,
26:09
Speaker 1: he has four tackles for loss, he has ten hits
26:12
Speaker 1: on the quarterback, two interceptions, and you've seen him make
26:15
Speaker 1: disruptive plays. Trayvon Walker has flashed, but he hasn't flashed
26:19
Speaker 1: to the level of consistency that you want to see
26:21
Speaker 1: from a number one overall pick. And so when you
26:24
Speaker 1: have that debate and you have them on the field, uh,
26:27
Speaker 1: in the same game. Yeah, it's going to be the
26:30
Speaker 1: comparing contrast because Aidan Hutchison has been a more productive
26:34
Speaker 1: and a more disruptive player than the guy that was
26:37
Speaker 1: drafted before him. So yeah, so when you're the Jaguars,
26:39
Speaker 1: that's part of the conversation that will exist around this game. Yeah,
26:43
Speaker 1: and it's it's Uh. I said since the day of
26:45
Speaker 1: the draft thing most people did, it was gonna be
26:48
Speaker 1: difficult for for for Trayvon this year. Two farewell in
26:54
Speaker 1: this conversation. Not because he's not a good player, not
26:57
Speaker 1: because he's not a productive player, but the fact that
27:02
Speaker 1: not really a pure pass rusher. I kind of thought
27:05
Speaker 1: from day one, he's probably not gonna have as many
27:07
Speaker 1: sacks as Aidan Hutchinson. Is he impacting the game by
27:10
Speaker 1: being stout? Is he making you a better run overall defense?
27:14
Speaker 1: Is he making plays elsewhere? Uh? The sack thing was
27:18
Speaker 1: always going to bite him a little bit this year,
27:20
Speaker 1: I thought, because it was gonna take him time to
27:21
Speaker 1: learn how to learn how to pass rush, and it's
27:25
Speaker 1: playing its way out. We'll see how it plays out
27:28
Speaker 1: to the end of the season. How about the rest
27:30
Speaker 1: of this Lions defense? Uh, you know, Okuda is there.
27:33
Speaker 1: He had an achilles injury last year, though after Week
27:36
Speaker 1: one towards Achilles that he was done. But what is
27:39
Speaker 1: he how's he looked this year coming off that and
27:42
Speaker 1: what else do they have to offer on defense? Well,
27:44
Speaker 1: you know, earlier in the year he was looking like
27:46
Speaker 1: a shutdown. Corn did a really good job matching. I've
27:48
Speaker 1: had a good game against Justin Jefferson and some other
27:50
Speaker 1: guys A J. Brown, Devonte Smith. Uh, kind of came
27:53
Speaker 1: back to earth a little bit in terms of his play.
27:56
Speaker 1: But he's a really good player. He was a good
27:57
Speaker 1: player at Ohio State. Uh. Injuries have to real his
28:00
Speaker 1: career at this point. But he has talent. We need
28:02
Speaker 1: your third overall pick. You're a guy who has a
28:04
Speaker 1: lot of talent. It's about put him in a situation
28:07
Speaker 1: to make plays. And so of late, he's been successful
28:10
Speaker 1: in terms of covering. That's it. He's not a guy
28:13
Speaker 1: that you avoid. You're still willing to throw at his
28:16
Speaker 1: side and see if he can hold up. And when
28:18
Speaker 1: you think about the route runners that we have on
28:20
Speaker 1: the outside, yeah, they can create some problems. So you
28:22
Speaker 1: want to still go at a coop and the rest
28:25
Speaker 1: of those guys in the secondary. But this is a
28:27
Speaker 1: team that is really built on the try hard premise.
28:31
Speaker 1: Like their thing is, their effort makes up for maybe
28:34
Speaker 1: the talent deficiencies that they may have on the roster
28:36
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. So they're gonna play hard.
28:38
Speaker 1: They can make it a very physical game, and they're
28:41
Speaker 1: willing to bank that. If we make it a rough
28:43
Speaker 1: and tumble contest, most teams will back down. And so
28:46
Speaker 1: much like the Ravens was the test of the Jaguars
28:49
Speaker 1: physicality and toughness, Detroit will be that both sides of
28:53
Speaker 1: the ball. So ignore the ranking when you're watching this game,
28:56
Speaker 1: look and see which team is out hitting the other team,
29:00
Speaker 1: because in this game, the team that outhits the other
29:03
Speaker 1: team is gonna be the team that walks away victorious. OK.
29:06
Speaker 1: He's sort of on that. On that theme. On the
29:08
Speaker 1: other side of the ball, Uh, the raven I mean
29:11
Speaker 1: the Ravens. The Lions offensive line is pretty underrated. Uh,
29:17
Speaker 1: very good unit. The Jaguars, in my opinion, have done
29:21
Speaker 1: a nice job on the defensive front as long as
29:25
Speaker 1: they're not having to worry about mobile quarterback. Uh. How
29:31
Speaker 1: big is the matchup Jaguars defensive front against the Lions
29:37
Speaker 1: offensive line. Yeah. So back in the day, John, we
29:40
Speaker 1: used to um, we used to talk about these games
29:42
Speaker 1: where you would give out a designated hat. We should
29:45
Speaker 1: call it the big sombrero. You saw with the Washington Commanders,
29:49
Speaker 1: Brian Robinson had the big old hat on. And what
29:52
Speaker 1: you would do is you would make the guys in
29:53
Speaker 1: the meeting room who had the big matchup that they
29:57
Speaker 1: needed to win their matchup for the team to win.
29:59
Speaker 1: They were sitting the meeting and where the big sombrero.
30:01
Speaker 1: Where the big sombrero? This week goes to the defensive
30:04
Speaker 1: line because the Detroit Lines offensive line is one of
30:07
Speaker 1: the best in football. And what they excel at is
30:10
Speaker 1: they mash and more people at the point of attack.
30:12
Speaker 1: Jamal Williams has a ton of touchdowns. I think you
30:14
Speaker 1: may be the league leader in rushing touchdowns. Part of
30:17
Speaker 1: that is because they're able to punch you in the
30:19
Speaker 1: face at the line of scrimmage. Now, the Jaguars had
30:23
Speaker 1: prided themselves and being a very physical front line, and
30:26
Speaker 1: so this will be where the rubber meets the road
30:29
Speaker 1: in terms of who is the more physical team, which
30:31
Speaker 1: team can control the trenches. Uh, this is a very
30:34
Speaker 1: challenging matchup for the Jaguars defensive front and they must
30:38
Speaker 1: hold their own for the Jaguars have a chance of winning.
30:40
Speaker 1: Two good running backs to Williams leads the league in
30:42
Speaker 1: touchdowns this year, not quite up there in yardage, but
30:45
Speaker 1: they give it two of He finds paid hurt and
30:48
Speaker 1: gets it done. And yeah, that the following that offensive
30:51
Speaker 1: line certainly helps. But Williams, now in year number six,
30:54
Speaker 1: is finding the enzo more than anybody on the ground
30:57
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He absolutely he has a nose for
31:01
Speaker 1: the fader. And not only that JP, what he does
31:06
Speaker 1: is he's a tone setter. He's a tone setter in
31:09
Speaker 1: terms of like he is a bull in a china shop.
31:11
Speaker 1: He runs through people, he runs over people. He is
31:14
Speaker 1: not afraid to engage and initiate contact. And so this
31:18
Speaker 1: is a game where you talk about the secondary, you
31:20
Speaker 1: better bring you big boy pass because if he gets
31:22
Speaker 1: to the second level, he's not looking to elude and
31:25
Speaker 1: evade he's looking to run over you, and so you're
31:27
Speaker 1: gonna have to tap, you can have to set him square,
31:29
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to thump him because he is going
31:32
Speaker 1: to keep going. And if he has one of those
31:35
Speaker 1: plays where he kind of drops the boom on the secondary,
31:38
Speaker 1: it charges up the rest of their team. And so
31:41
Speaker 1: when we talk about this game being a very physical affair,
31:45
Speaker 1: it is that because they feed off of that toughness,
31:48
Speaker 1: because Dan Campbell has priested at nausea toughness effort. They
31:53
Speaker 1: feel like they're the physical team. They want to fancy
31:55
Speaker 1: themselves as a bully. And the only way that you
31:57
Speaker 1: can knock off a bulley, you gotta hit the bully
31:59
Speaker 1: in the mouth. And so Dad is the task hit
32:00
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Yeah, it feels like a shootout to me, JP.
32:03
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Janguars are moving the ball with
32:09
Speaker 1: the confidence they've got. I I feel like this game
32:12
Speaker 1: is gonna be in the high twenties. We'll leave the
32:15
Speaker 1: predictions for just a moment. One more thought on the Lions,
32:18
Speaker 1: and it's the former number one pick, of course, on
32:21
Speaker 1: the jag side, Trevor Lawrence from two years ago, but
32:24
Speaker 1: from Jared Golf is the quarterback in Detroit, first overall
32:29
Speaker 1: by the Rams and then trader to the Lions as
32:31
Speaker 1: part of the Stafford deal. He and a bunch of
32:34
Speaker 1: draft picks came over to Detroit well Golf the last
32:38
Speaker 1: little while. Has played pretty well. Six touchdowns, one pick
32:42
Speaker 1: over the last five games, and he's settling in. It
32:46
Speaker 1: helps when you have a run game like that Bucky
32:48
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, Golf standing up can
32:51
Speaker 1: throw it down the field. And st. Brown's playing well
32:54
Speaker 1: receiving for him. They've got some things going. They do
32:57
Speaker 1: have some things going. And I know people really love
32:59
Speaker 1: to take guy, said Jerry Golf, because maybe he's not
33:02
Speaker 1: lived up to some of the height that accompanies the
33:05
Speaker 1: number one overall pick. But he's a really good player.
33:07
Speaker 1: You got to remember he led a team to the
33:09
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. They didn't win, they lost to the Patriots.
33:12
Speaker 1: But this is a guy that's been a two time
33:13
Speaker 1: Pro bowler, who has played at a high level when
33:16
Speaker 1: playing in an offense that was tailored to his skills.
33:19
Speaker 1: This offense is new tailored to his skills as a
33:22
Speaker 1: very efficient play action passer, a guy who could work
33:25
Speaker 1: inside the numbers, a guy who does a really good
33:28
Speaker 1: job of for the most part, avoiding the turnovers. If
33:31
Speaker 1: he is playing turnover free football, this team has a
33:33
Speaker 1: chance to win. Uh. The big thing about Jerry Golf
33:36
Speaker 1: is he's not a mobile quarterback. He's gonna stand right
33:39
Speaker 1: behind the pocket maybe seven to ten yards, and so
33:41
Speaker 1: everyone knows where he's at. And so we've talked about
33:44
Speaker 1: the Trench Warriors, the D line versus the old line.
33:47
Speaker 1: The Jaguars front line has to win at the line
33:49
Speaker 1: of scrimmage and attack the quarterback because you don't necessarily
33:53
Speaker 1: have the talent on the outside the lock up and
33:55
Speaker 1: play man demand, so you want to be kind of
33:57
Speaker 1: limited in terms of how often you expose was the
34:00
Speaker 1: secondary to one on one coverage? Uh, this has to
34:03
Speaker 1: be a game. Would you knock Jerry Golf a round?
34:05
Speaker 1: But it has to be the front four or maybe
34:07
Speaker 1: five to get after him because if he's comfortable at
34:10
Speaker 1: the one all time, he can do We'll come back
34:13
Speaker 1: in a moment. Final thoughts ahead of this week thirteen
34:15
Speaker 1: matchup the Jaguars and the Lions, both teams four and seven.

34:57
Speaker 1: Buckey Brooks presented by the few Olds Auto Group. Ben
35:02
Speaker 1: Look outside of the Miller Electric Center at t I
35:04
Speaker 1: A Bank Field, the sun setting off to the west,
35:07
Speaker 1: beautiful day, the roof going on the indoor facility. It
35:13
Speaker 1: was rain earlier today, right during practice time with Jaguars
35:16
Speaker 1: were practicing indoors on the other side of the stadium today.
35:20
Speaker 1: But it's on track. It should be open for business
35:23
Speaker 1: summer of three and it's going up quick, looking good
35:27
Speaker 1: at every single day. Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks brought
35:29
Speaker 1: to you by the Field's Auto Group, Jacksonville. Step up
35:32
Speaker 1: to Luxury Fields Auto dot Com. Alright. Teams are four
35:36
Speaker 1: and seven the UH The Jaguars are you know they
35:40
Speaker 1: send in the locker room today, Bucky, You'll like this.
35:43
Speaker 1: I heard this on the practice field of the day.
35:45
Speaker 1: It was reiterated in the locker room. It's game two
35:48
Speaker 1: of a seven game season for the Jags and then
35:51
Speaker 1: for you. Lukin corrected me, he said, Yeah, that's great
35:53
Speaker 1: they can say that, but it's game one of a
35:55
Speaker 1: six game season that they're counting them down one by
35:58
Speaker 1: one at one game at a time for this Jaguar group. Yeah,
36:01
Speaker 1: that's the only way you can do it. You can't
36:03
Speaker 1: worry about making the run without focusing on the task ahead.
36:06
Speaker 1: I think the thing that came out of last week.
36:09
Speaker 1: Uh Winger said this on the post game show. He
36:11
Speaker 1: talked about understanding the process that enabled them to have
36:15
Speaker 1: the win on Sunday. So the way that they practice
36:17
Speaker 1: on Wednesday and Thursday, the way they were on it
36:20
Speaker 1: on Friday, the way they went through to walk through
36:22
Speaker 1: on Saturday, putting the energy into effort to making sure
36:25
Speaker 1: that you take care of the business that you have
36:27
Speaker 1: on that given day. If the Jaguars can break up
36:30
Speaker 1: the macro and the little micro pieces and focus on
36:34
Speaker 1: those micro wins, yeah, they absolutely can do it. And
36:36
Speaker 1: it's one of the things that Doug Peterson has been
36:39
Speaker 1: trying to get this team to focus on is the
36:41
Speaker 1: process of practicing will will lead to better performance and
36:45
Speaker 1: production on game day, but you only can do it
36:48
Speaker 1: by taking it one day at a time. Yeah, I
36:51
Speaker 1: mean it's I've never looking at the schedule guy, JP,
36:54
Speaker 1: you know I I truly believe in the NFL. Uh,
37:01
Speaker 1: all games are so tough that you can't look. I
37:03
Speaker 1: mean a game can be as hard whatever. It's so
37:07
Speaker 1: weak to week. But however, but that that being said, Comma,
37:14
Speaker 1: if you win this, the Eagles win. Yeah, it's a
37:18
Speaker 1: two game lead with and you're going to Tennessee with
37:22
Speaker 1: where it's interesting, where it's really interesting. So uh, it's
37:26
Speaker 1: finite enough now where you can start to start look
37:29
Speaker 1: at things like that. Uh. This is a dangerous game,
37:35
Speaker 1: I think for fans more than players because people look
37:39
Speaker 1: at the lines and think, oh, it's the lines. I
37:42
Speaker 1: don't think players are going to feel that. But regardless
37:46
Speaker 1: of about danger it is, it's a game that you
37:48
Speaker 1: can go win. You're not out matched in, so go
37:51
Speaker 1: win it and come back and see what happens in
37:53
Speaker 1: next week. If you could get fun. Yeah, this is
37:56
Speaker 1: a game, But I think it a tests the maturity
37:58
Speaker 1: of the team. Doug talks about like little milestone markers
38:02
Speaker 1: throughout the season where you kind of understand where the
38:04
Speaker 1: team is and what they're ready for. To me, this
38:07
Speaker 1: is a game where a game that in that locker
38:10
Speaker 1: room you feel like you should win. Can you go out,
38:12
Speaker 1: take care of business and win it. Too often we've
38:15
Speaker 1: had opportunities early in the year to do those things.
38:17
Speaker 1: Let's think about the Houston Texans or even the ind
38:19
Speaker 1: and O up his coast, games that on paper look
38:21
Speaker 1: like they should have either been even or in the
38:23
Speaker 1: jaguars favor, but they weren't able to get it done. Now,
38:26
Speaker 1: this is a game where you're looking at the lines
38:28
Speaker 1: and even though the records are the same, you're saying, man,
38:31
Speaker 1: we should win this game. We win this game. It
38:32
Speaker 1: puts us at five and seven. It gives us a chance.
38:34
Speaker 1: So can you put all of your energy and effort
38:37
Speaker 1: to knocking off a Lions team that does look as
38:39
Speaker 1: tough and as physical as they come. So it'd be
38:42
Speaker 1: a great test of the maturity that the Jaguars. We
38:44
Speaker 1: will know a lot more about this team at the
38:46
Speaker 1: end of Sunday feeling good, John, I mean as good
38:51
Speaker 1: as you can. Yeah, yeah, I mean I I I
38:55
Speaker 1: think what we saw from Trevor was real. And if
38:58
Speaker 1: what we saw from Trevors real, then he starts doing
39:03
Speaker 1: that consistently, then I think you can win games like this.
39:07
Speaker 1: So now still young, so I think you're gonna have
39:11
Speaker 1: hiccups before it gets real where you're seeing it all
39:13
Speaker 1: the time. But yeah, I feel good about it as
39:17
Speaker 1: good as I feel. Yeah, good as well, I asked Bucky. Uh,
39:20
Speaker 1: seems to feel pretty good about it too, just from
39:22
Speaker 1: the tone I get today. Oh, I feel great about it.
39:25
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel great about it. I feel like
39:27
Speaker 1: this is this is a chance for them to get
39:28
Speaker 1: back on track. Um, look, if you want to be
39:31
Speaker 1: a winning team, you have to take care of this.
39:33
Speaker 1: And you can't get back those games that you gave
39:35
Speaker 1: away earlier, but you certainly can learn the lessons from those.
39:37
Speaker 1: So at some point you gotta apply to lessons and
39:40
Speaker 1: so I would like to think that we do it.
39:42
Speaker 1: The big thing will be it's a Trevor Lawrence game.
39:44
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence has to show that he can be back
39:46
Speaker 1: to back in terms of the guy that we saw
39:49
Speaker 1: against the Ravens because the guy that we saw in
39:50
Speaker 1: the Ravens, that's what the former number one overall pick
39:52
Speaker 1: should look like. Can't you put together another performance like
39:56
Speaker 1: that where he is um We talked about quarterbacks falling
39:59
Speaker 1: into and trailers, that category where the truck, the quarterback
40:03
Speaker 1: is carrying the team. The trailer the team is carrying
40:05
Speaker 1: the quarterback. We need him to be a truck because
40:08
Speaker 1: if he does that, then it makes it easier for
40:10
Speaker 1: the rest of the team to get on board and
40:12
Speaker 1: do what they need to do. Bucky, Bucky dropped a
40:14
Speaker 1: feud today, double dutch the truck and the trailer trailer.
40:19
Speaker 1: That's old. That's an old I've got to be honest,
40:23
Speaker 1: I've never heard that, but but it's great. They they're
40:28
Speaker 1: only a handful of trucks in the league at quarterback.
40:30
Speaker 1: That's how you have to look at them. You have
40:31
Speaker 1: to look at can the quarterback pull the team? So
40:36
Speaker 1: when you're thinking about like back in the day, like
40:39
Speaker 1: you're Tom Brady's your Payton mannings. They make the other
40:43
Speaker 1: guys elevate their game. Where you look at some guys,
40:46
Speaker 1: it's everybody around them pushing the quarterback up. Trevor Lawrence
40:50
Speaker 1: has the talent to be a high end truck. But
40:54
Speaker 1: can you do it? When? Will you do it? And
40:55
Speaker 1: can you do it consistently? We need to see it.
40:58
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll start or continue to see it this Sunday
41:01
Speaker 1: in Detroit against the Lions at Ford Field. Bucky, have
41:05
Speaker 1: a fantastic week and we'll talk to you down the line.
