  Speaker 3: Hundai studios at the Miller Electric Center and Bucky bro
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: is in Los Angeles, as we will dig deep into
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: this matchup this week against the Chargers, certainly coming up
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: in a little bit. We'll certainly take a look because
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: we must one more time at the fourth quarter.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: At Houston last week.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: But let's start with the news that Travis Hunter officially
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: is done for the season LCL surgery.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: And his right knee and the.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Expectation bucky that he'll be back doing football things in
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: about six months or so. It's not ideal, certainly, to
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: miss the rest of the season. However, it feels like
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: it could have been a whole lot worse for Travis Hunter.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: What's your feelings when you heard the news this week?
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: One a little bit of surprise and disappointment.
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: You know, like you kind of believe that he's gonna
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: be able to come back at some point.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: But then when you hear LCL, you hear about the surgery.
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: And now you begin to have concerns, rightfully so about Okay,
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: was he gonna look like when he comes back, he's
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: gonna be able.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: To be the same exploded athlete that he is.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: And then the question that everyone has or is he
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: gonna be able to resume his duties as a two
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: way player. Naturally, when you have an injury that occurs
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: like this, all of the naysayers have come out the
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: wardworks an see I told you you can't be a
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: two way player and that stuff. But I really don't
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: see that being a part of the injury. The injuries
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: the injury, but I don't think it changes how you.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Go about using him in the future.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: He's a dynamic player, but he's really not a two
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: way player. He's probably a one and a half way
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: player that you use sparently on defense when you need him.
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah. My understanding is that the surgery should not have
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: a long term effect, meaning you know, when this kid
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: touches the ball, he has magic in his legs. My
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: understanding is this injury surgery, there's no reason that that
• 2:52
  Speaker 6: magic will not be there.
• 2:54
  Speaker 7: And as Buck you said, that is the concern.
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: Because I'm not so big on Arewa's got a superpower now, JP, Like,
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: you know, you have a superpower.
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: I'm sure. I don't think I do. But that's you know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 7: his superpower.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: If you want to use that term, is that it's
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: that electricity, it's it's all that ability. I think it's
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: still gonna be there. What I wonder, Buck, and I
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: don't think there's this is anybody's like, you know, I'm
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: not sure there's a way to avoid this.
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: But this year for seven or eight.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: Games, it was always, well, what's it gonna look like
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: with Travis Hunter?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: This week?
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: Is it gonna be X? Is it gonna be?
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: Why is it gonna be these snaps on defense? I
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: wonder if they will spend the off season trying to
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: figure out, Okay, this is what when you open up
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: the present each week, this is what you're gonna get?
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: Or is it gonna be like opening up a present
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: each week where you don't really know what it's gonna
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: look like? Is it okay to have that be what
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: it is with Travis Hunter? Like eighty snaps on defense
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: one week ten on offense, and they didn't go to
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: that extreme, But you know what I'm getting that, do
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: you have to have a plug and play formula where
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: you say, Okay, he's gonna play in these packages on
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: offense and then when we're playing an elite guy in
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: the red zone put him on there? Does it have
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: to be that formulay it going forward? Can or can
• 4:24
  Speaker 6: you continue to sort of take each week as it comes?
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: I think the difference this year well next year as
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: opposed to this year is next year they have a
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: full off season to kind of plan it out right,
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: like when the season ends, they begin to have, like
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: all the meetings, they can dep ref on what went well,
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: what they didn't like, how where they can make it better,
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: what they learned from the experiment and the process, and
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: then go forward to me. It'll probably be planned out
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: a little differently because they can get them up to
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: speed with all the offense because you have a full
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: offseason to work with him, and then that should allow
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: you to spend some more time allowing him to do
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: the secondary position, which I must say is cornerback, where
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: you can work on that and do some of that
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: and go pitt. I think the big thing that the
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: challenge was is three days offense, one day defense, because
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: he was doing so much learning of the offense.
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: If you can kind of get a lot of the
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: learning out the way early.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: In the offseason, then it allows you had more freedom
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: and flexibility to change his schedule as needed when it
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: comes to those matchups.
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think what's interesting JP, and this is not
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: a negative in the situation, it's what is interesting.
• 5:33
  Speaker 7: Bucky says.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: The ideal and what he'd liked to see is all
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: offense and half defense.
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: I sort of leaned the other.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Way with the matchups each week.
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: Well, you know it is one hundred defense, Oh okay,
• 5:49
  Speaker 6: with packages on offense. And again, I don't know if
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: they know yet what the ideal is going to be.
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: I think that's going to be a study in the
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: off season of really digging into and say, okay, this
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: is what it is, and.
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: You know what is our roster need. I there's a
• 6:05
  Speaker 7: lot of discussions to behead.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, they've got some other things to
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: attend to right now, like rebounding from the game in
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: Houston last week and they're the number seven seed in
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: the AFC playoff race at the moment, because we must,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: let's get one final look at that fourth quarter in
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Houston last week, thirty six to twenty nine, the final
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: and nineteen point lead, the largest blown lead in franchise.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: History for the Jaguars. How do you.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Expect Bucky this team to bounce back from such a performance.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: And yeah, we've seen performances not as a bad clearly
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: because it's the largest in team history, but in seasons
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: where it's you know, one and eight the record at
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: this point, I mean they're five and four, they're still
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: in the hunt. How does this team respond this week?
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Is I think it's a really big question for this group.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: Well, I mean, there's always gonna be some hesitation and
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: some trepidation when you lose a game like that. Hesitation
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: won't start at the beginning the game. It won't happen
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: to the mid to end of the game, the third
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: fourth quarter.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: If you have a lead, can you hold on to it?
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: Because for two weeks in a row we saw a
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: team really struggled in the fourth quarter closing out a game.
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: And it's not just the defense, because everyone to talk about, oh,
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: the lack of pass rush, to coverage and this and that.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: Complimentary football requires everyone to do their job in those moments.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: As much as we can talk.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: About the lack of pass rush and the coverage and
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: the penalties and those things, the offense certainly didn't help
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: them out by being able to get first downs, shrink
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: the game, limit the total number of.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Possessions in the fourth quarter.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: Everyone is to blame, and so from coaches to players
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: to I mean, shoot, even I played a part. I
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: probably didn't do a good job in the fourth quarter either.
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: Like everybody has to examine themselves and reassess the process
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: and figure out how they can get better, but it's
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: not good enough. It's a little mental block that they're
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: gonna have to work through it. But if they work
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: through it, they can get back on track. But yeah,
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: it's gonna be there. I can't sit there and say like,
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: oh no, they'll just be able to play now to
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: be there.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: It'll just be there late in the game, not necessarily
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: the beginning.
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: Well, I'll tell you who who did do a good
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: job in the fourth quarter is me. I'd rewrite three
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: stories on the fly. So look, you know.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: I did a good job researching historical collapse.
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: There's nothing cruddier for right, right than a big time
• 8:24
  Speaker 6: come back in the last seven minutes, So I'm being
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: fastious there. Look, I think one thing has to be
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: kept in mind for this team. Big comebacks are much
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: much easier now than they used to be. It's much
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: more common to see that. So the historical stuff, I
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: get that it was a horrible loss. I'm not saying
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: there's anything good about it, but you know, it happens
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: more because of rules now than it used to, so
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: it's a little more common. So you can't say, well,
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: you guys stink because that happened. You can you can
• 8:57
  Speaker 6: recover from this. What I wonder is what Bucky sort
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: of alluded to. You know, I think you can scheme
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: things away for a while in a game, and then
• 9:09
  Speaker 6: once the fourth quarter hits, or once late in the game,
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: teams sort of figure out they've been testing it all game. Okay,
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: now we see what the weaknesses are. I do think
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: there's a concern with them not getting home, not being
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: able to get home with four having the blitz. I mean,
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: after a while, JP, you and I talk about all
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: the time, you figure a team out, as you're covering
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: them well through eight or nine weeks, you figure out
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: this team has trouble getting home with four, the blitz
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: hasn't worked. You add that with a secondary that is
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: without Eric Murray, without some of its guys.
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: Ya, Lewis, Bucky, it.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: Is that a you know, I bet the Chargers know that.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: I bet they can figure that out. Is that something
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: that you just can't overcome? You know, I don't want
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: to sound like a non believer right now, but is
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: that a thing that is too much of a thing
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: for the Jaguars to overcome?
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: The Look, they have no choice.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: They can overcome it, but it requires everyone to play better.
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: And to get everyone to play better. I mean, it's
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: gonna sound crazy. They probably have to do fewer things
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: than they're already doing. So you got to get these
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: young guys up to play. You have so many new
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: people in new, more prominent positions that you just got
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: to simplify everything. And so if they used to carry
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: five calls and then you got to cut it down
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: to three calls and see if they can get really
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: good at those things. Because let's be honest, in the
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: National Football League, you're not tricking anybody. Everyone knows what
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: you do. It comes down to a matter of execution.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: The Jaguars have to execute better. And the other thing
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: that the Jaguars have to do they have got to
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: get out.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: Of the penalty game.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: The penalties are really killing them because if you go
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: back and you really look at the game, there are
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: times on defense they're off the field, but then there's
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: some kind of penalty that keeps them and extends to
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: drive on on offense, the same thing both sides of
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: the ball. They just have to put their hands in
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: their pocket and just avoid the penalties because the penalties
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: are really hurting them. And so we can talk about
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: the execution those things, but you got to take care
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: of the things they control.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: The penalties are controlled.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Nine penalties in the game against the Texans accepted, now
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: eighty three accepted for the season. That's tied for the
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: most accepted penalties in the National Football League. It's been
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: a storyline all season long. We'll come back in a
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: moment and take a look at this week's opponent, the
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: La Chargers, who are in the race in the AFC West.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Justin Herbert and Company.
• 11:37

• 11:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's definitely a test.
• 11:56
  Speaker 8: I mean it's every week as a test of your
• 11:58
  Speaker 8: team and your locker room and your culture. I mean,
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: in this league, it's you know, win or lose. It's
• 12:03
  Speaker 8: always it's a challenge. It's it's hard to win. It's
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: as you can see, every it's a week to week
• 12:08
  Speaker 8: league and you got to bring your best and you
• 12:09
  Speaker 8: got to finish these games. I think it's a learning
• 12:11
  Speaker 8: lesson for our team. I mean we've played fairly well
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: in one score games this year if you look at
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: especially compared to last year, that was something that we
• 12:18
  Speaker 8: struggled with and made that improvement. Obviously, we didn't get
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: it done last week. You know, we didn't finish the
• 12:23
  Speaker 8: game well, and we own that and we have to
• 12:25
  Speaker 8: move on and go, you know, go try to beat
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: a really good Chargers team this week.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars quarterback.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Earlier today full press conference at Jaguars dot com and
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: Jaguars YouTube and welcome back and huddle up with Bucky
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: Brooks and the Jags art here. You have to face
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: the Chargers this Sunday. It is the annual Salute to
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Service game. Will honor and celebrate the brave men and
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: women of our military all game long. Get your seats
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: now at Jaguars dot com. Slash tickets are called nine
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: zero four six three three two thousand two. Teams in
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: the playoff picture certainly the Chargers in the mix and
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: the very talented AFC West and if not winning that division,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: fighting for a wild card spot. The Jags of course
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: a little behind in the division race, but right there
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: on the seven seed currently in the AFC playoff chase
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: and JP Shadrick John Oser here in Jacksonville, Bucket Brooks
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: out in Los Angeles. Let's look at this seven and
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: three Chargers team, and I guess you can start right
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: there at an offense with the quarterback and Justin Herbert,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: the number one quarterback in the league in terms of
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: completions and attempts. He's second in the league in passing
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: yards nineteen touchdowns, eight picks. He can run the football
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: as well, Bucky, He's He's got it all. So what's
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: what's the key to defending a quarterback like Herbert?
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: Well, the best way to defend him is to be
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: able to get constant pressure around him. And for all
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: the great things that the Charges have done, they have
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: struggled in pass protection. Both of their starting offensive tackles
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: are out Sean Slade ahead of early injury, he's in
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: training camp, and then you have Joe Ault who is
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: also also Now they're playing with some backups along the
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: front line, which can hinder what they want to do
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: from the pocket with Justin Herbert.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Regarding Herbert, though, he is terrific, I.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: Mean he is someone who I would say, in his
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: extension of what Trevor Lawrence is but he has been
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: more consistent for longer. This is a guy that can
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: run on the perimeter. He can make every throw that
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: you want to see. He has great leadership ability despite
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: having a quiet demeanor. And Jim Harbaugh has just feeled
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: him full of swag and confidence like he's done the
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: rest of the team, and so he feels like he's
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: a superhero speaking of John's superpowers when he's on the field,
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: and that's just what it's going to be. We have
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: to find a way to deal with him because he's terrific.
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: He's right now playing like the top five quarterback.
• 14:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Bucky, you watch and analyze more of the league
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: than I do. I think Justin Herbert's the best or
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: the most underrated elite guy in the league. I would
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: take him up with that group. Maybe not Josh Allen,
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: but you know, and he doesn't quite feel like he's
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: at that point this year. But my guess is it's
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: mainly because of what's going on around of it. I
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: think he's at that level with those other guys.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm gonna say this, and I said this
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: when Trevor was coming out. I felt like Trevor was
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: a clone of Justin Herbert that at his best he
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: would be like Justin Herbert.
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: I actually felt like Trevor had more talent.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: He hasn't played to that level, but I think they're
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: very similar in terms of style of play, what they
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: bring to the table, even their demeanor and their leadership ability.
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: The thing about Justin Herbert that has helped is look
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: early on you talked about the receivers around them, Keenan
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: Allen and Mike Williams, big body guys that expanded to
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: strike zone.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: They had a connection.
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: And then Parba has come and given them the running game.
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: So they've taken some pressure off of him initially, and
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: then he's back to be the playmaker that they want
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: him to be. I'll say this, man, he he just
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: has the goods. The one thing though, when you look
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: at them, he will turn the ball over. He has
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: eight interceptions. It is not like he's been highly efficient
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: and avoiding the negative play.
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: He has some turnovers.
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: And so if you're the Jags, you got to heat
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: him up, find a way to get pressure around him,
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: and then when he does put the ball in harm's way,
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: you got to pick it off.
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, JP, it's funny, you know you analyze games every week,
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: sort of knowing that whatever happens on the field, half
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: the time, when you analyze it, it's really a different
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: game than.
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: What you thought it was going to be.
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: Right, this one feels like if they can get to
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: the quarterback, if they can pressure, then they got a shot.
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: The thing that worries you is they haven't done that.
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: So it is like the nice thing is camp can
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: stand in front of the room and say this is
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: what we got to do. Well, if can't do it,
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: then that's really bad because these guys can beat you.
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: So it's it's sort of, well, if we can do this,
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: but if we can't, it's trouble. So they got to
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: get home.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, twelve sacks for the season for the Jaguars tied
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: for the lowest in the NFL. There's two players in
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: the league that have eleven sacks solos this year. So
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: that's kind of where the Jaguars have been so far
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: in the pass rush. Quickly on some of these skilled
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: players here, Lad McConkie. Of course, at wide receiver you've
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: got Keenan Allen who's been at it forever, who's still
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: playing at a high level. The tight end Gadston has
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: stepped in there bucket and played pretty good too.
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, running gas In Junior has stepped in and been
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: kind of like a version of his dad. His dad
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: was a big body receiver that caught a ton of
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: passes down in Miami, and Gason Junior, coming from Syracuse,
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: has done the same thing. Immediately develop a connection with
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: Justin Herbert, and because the Charges are so good on
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: the outside, Quinn Johnson has really stepped up. You think
• 17:50
  Speaker 5: about lad McConkie being the number one keenan allencan team
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: to slay people. As a number three receiver, there's room
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: for the tight end to get open. They're very tough
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: to defend because they can run it. The quarterback is good,
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: he also can run it, and then they have a
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: bunch of crafty little white house making plays on the perimeter.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: The thing about it is you almost have to take
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: a page from their book.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: Defensively, the Chargers want to play a bin but don't
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: break style, and then really focus on being great in
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: the red zone.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: For the Jags, if you realistically come in and say, hey,
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: they gonna get yards.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: They can move the ball up and down the field,
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: They'll have some yards between the thirties. But we just
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: need to bog down in the red zone and make
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: them kick field goals as opposed to score touchdowns. Threes
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: over sevens is the way to go. If they do that,
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: then Jaguars can win.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: Just come back in a moment. We'll take a look
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: at the Chargers defense.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Stick in a little deeper there, and yes, the defensive
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: coverage of the game. All that coming up as the
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Jaguars prepared to entertain the LA Chargers in Week eleven,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: a battle of teams that if it ended today, would
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: be in the playoffs. This is huddle up with Bucky Brooks.
• 19:02
  Speaker 9: I think they're extremely sticks aware from their second to
• 19:07
  Speaker 9: third level of their defense. The rush has obviously done
• 19:11
  Speaker 9: a nice job getting some pressure and being able to
• 19:14
  Speaker 9: affect the quarterback, but they're you know, I think Jess
• 19:17
  Speaker 9: Minter does a great job. I got a lot of
• 19:19
  Speaker 9: respect for him and the zone coverages. They're very aware
• 19:24
  Speaker 9: and they do a nice job of pattern matching.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: Hey, coach Liam Cohen earlier today talking about the Chargers'
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: third down success both sides of the ball. Really he
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: talked about the offense also, but this Chargers defense fourth
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: in the league, on third downs this year thirty four percent.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: And welcome back.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: It is huddle up with Bucky Brooks, j P Shadwick,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: John Osher, and Jacksonville Bucky out in Los Angeles and
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: we dig deeper into this Chargers defense. He talked there
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: on the third downs of the second and third levels,
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: sticks aware knowing exactly where the football needs to be
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: for them to have some and tackles short of the sticks, certainly,
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: but they do have guys up front that can play
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: Bucky Khalil Mack still right there at the top, Tui
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: Polo two.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: I said that, Yeah, I didn't say that right. Eight
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: sacks in the year.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: He had a four sac game earlier in the season
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: and that's a sack and three straight games. So they
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: have some edge players that can get after Bucky.
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they do, and a lot of what they do
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: is predicated on being able to get after and what
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: they call simulated pressures, meaning it's a four man rush,
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: but that fourth rush is gonna come from the second
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: to third level. What that does for the offense is
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: trying to identify who is the fourth guy. So you're
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: playing a bit of a game of Marco polo or
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: where's waldor whichever is your game of choice.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: You got to figure out who's the other guy that
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: is coming. Now.
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: What Liam is talking to I think is really important
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: for the people that are watching the game on Sunday
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: to make the distinction between being a spot dropped team,
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: which is kind of.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: Like what the Jacks are.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: They get the spots, they read the quarterback, they slide
• 20:57
  Speaker 5: and move based on the vision of the quarterback, versus
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: a pattern match team, meaning what they're doing is playing
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: like a matchup man demand, where they take and carry
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: people to certain spots and they pass them off to
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: another defender, and that is the best way they have
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: the tightest coverage while also playing zone.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: And when he talks about being sticks.
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: Aware, it means that they understand down in distance, Oh
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: it's third and seven, we're gonna play right at the sticks.
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: Make sure you throw it in front of the sticks,
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: and then we're gonna rally and tackle and get off
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: the field. So it's not only schematics, but it's the
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: intelligence and the awareness of the group that allows this
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: defense to play at a high level.
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna ask something of the analyst that is probably
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: pretty self evident, but really, except for Cincinnati. To me,
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: the Jaguars, the games where they've gotten bit have been
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: against the Seattle, LA and Houston. I haven't seen every
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: team in the World League, but I'd probably put those
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: defensive fronts in the top six or seven in the league.
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: How dominant Chargers defensive front because that's really what has
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: tripped these this team up more often than not.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you're right.
• 22:16
  Speaker 5: The teams that we struggle with are the teams have
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: been able to really kick our teeth in at the
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: point of attack. The Chargers certainly have that capability with
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: Khalil Mack some of the other guys they're rotating in.
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: I mean, they just traded for Adape and then he
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: is coming. He has four sacks and he's been able
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: to be productive and they're doing it by committee. But
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: a lot of what they do is, yes, the talent
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: is great, but it's also some of the smoke and
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: mirror tactics that we talk about, who's the fourth guy,
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: how are we gonna slide and protect to him? They
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: show one hand and then they hit you with the
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: other hand. It's a lot going on, and so for Trevor,
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: he's gonna have to identify it he's gonna have to
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: know exactly where to go with the ball fairly quickly.
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: And then you got to deal with the tight, sticky
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: coverage that looks like man, plays like man, but it's
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: not man to man, so it throws off some of
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: the rules that you have for man coverage. Very good scheme,
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: a simplistic scheme with some higher nuanced stuff, but it's wanted.
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: They play very, very well.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: Time for our defensive coverage of the game, presented by
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: GEHA Government Employees Health Association Benefits for federal employees and retirees.
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: We take a look again at the quarterback battle this
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: week and the career numbers for Justin Herbert and Trevor
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Lawrence Herbert one more year. Both they have the same
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: amount of interceptions in their career, Herbert with that extra season,
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: but you see the difference in touchdowns nearly double the
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: touchdowns through the air for Herbert and the rating much
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: higher for Justin Herbert. So far, fifth season for Lawrence
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: and trying to get things going after some injuries the
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: last couple of years for Trevor. And there's been a
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: lot of talk this week already Bucky from the head
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: coach from Trevor Lawrence himself today about you know what,
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: let it rip go, let it go, playing free. All
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: those phrases have been used today. What does that mean
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: and how does that match up against the Chargers defense?
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you don't want to be passive because
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: what they're doing is they'll force you into a checkdown
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: Charlie game where all you doing is dumbing off to
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: the back and they're rally and tackling, and you'll see
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: them at the end of the play holding their fist up,
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: like fourth down, they got a punt, So you got
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: to push the ball down the field. You're gonna have
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: to make some tight windows throws, but you have to
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: be smart when you do that. This is a team that, look,
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: they're gonna put the pressure on the quarterback that make
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: good decisions, and you have to make good decisions. So
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: it's that that that fine line between being reckless and
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: being aggressive. He needs to be aggressive, but not reckless.
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: Because of these reckless they're gonna have a lot of interceptions'
• 24:48
  Speaker 5: gonna be a lot of turnovers, and the charge are
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: gonna have plenty of opportunities, but points on the board.
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah, we don't want that, No, Yeah, business. I think
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: too what Liam he clearly today I say he went
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: out of his way, but shared that he had talked
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: to Trevor about letting it rip.
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: He really didn't have to make that public if he
• 25:16
  Speaker 7: didn't want to.
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: So it seems to me that it's more of just
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: sort of it's not necessarily talking about playing the Chargers.
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: It's more, hey, you know, it's okay for Trevor to
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: take some chances. It's more of a philosophical thing, meaning
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: over the course of the last ten games, it's almost like, hey,
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: we'll take an extra interception every couple of games if
• 25:45
  Speaker 6: we can get him throwing it twenty yards downfield, looking
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: at it and saying, hey, I.
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: See BTJ there.
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: The safety might be close to range, but we're gonna
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: let it rip and we're gonna play. We're not gonna
• 26:00
  Speaker 6: worry about that read. That's the one we want, that's
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: the pre snap read. We got to go after it.
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: So I think it's more of just a philosophical over
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: the course of a long term, we're gonna get more
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: out of aggressiveness.
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: Then we're gonna.
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: Lose with you know, checked out seven interceptions over a
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: ten game period that we might not otherwise have had.
• 26:23
  Speaker 6: So I think they just want to any want to
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: go down field more and go after it, you know,
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: don't be scared of success. It's what I always tell
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: people when I'm behind them and they won't drive. Oh yeah,
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: don't be scared to go press the accelerator.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the gas pedals almost.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: That's one of my favorites. I like that. Don't be,
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: don't be don't be afraid to be great?
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: Right, Like so if you travel Lawn, I think what
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: Liam is alluding to, and I think there is this
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: sense of frustration from the offense that there have been
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: some explosive plays that have been available, and it's one
• 26:52
  Speaker 5: or two plays a game where you see a deep
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: ball that is just narrowly missed, overthrown, underthrown field to
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: come down, drop whatever it is. We're not, yeah, yeah,
• 27:04
  Speaker 5: so cautious that we can do it. So I think
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: with Johanna saying, are you saying Trevor Lawrence is like
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: ice and top gun.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: He's waiting for the perfect shot before he takes it.
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: We needed to be a little more like Maverick, like
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: we need to go forward a little more, down.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: Up, take the shot and do those things. It sounds
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: like that's what your advocate.
• 27:21
  Speaker 6: And and I do think that's understandable. And I get
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: the joke, you know, the whole thing. I am Maverick, Bucky,
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: I am Maverick, but I'm dangerous.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: That's just what I was thinking.
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: But I think it's understandable considering you know, for a
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: couple of years it was driven into him not to
• 27:45
  Speaker 6: make mistakes. I mean, you know, uh, there's a little
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: bit of that. I also think your new offense. You know,
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: I'm not I'm not using it as an excuse, but
• 27:55
  Speaker 6: there's been a lot going on mentally this year. You know,
• 27:58
  Speaker 6: he even alluded day on the podium. He had some
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: early interceptions. I wanted to get away from that. And
• 28:05
  Speaker 6: sometimes I think it is okay for a coach to say, hey, kid,
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: just go just run, just you know, hit your best serve,
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: don't lob it in. So I think there is an
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: element of that of wanting him to go after it
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: a little more in the second area.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: I mean, look, I think if you live going and
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: you've seen like a Baker Mayfield who plays fearlessly in
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: the pocket, you've seen Matthew Stafford and those guys even
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: Jered Golfer a little bit like play fearlessly in terms
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: of just letting the ball go, get to the.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: Step, hit it and just rip it and make it happen,
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: and trust that your receivers are gonna make some plays.
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: I think it can be hard when you have a
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: quarterback that is trying to be so perfect that he
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: just won't try the high risk throw because he doesn't
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: want it to be a mistake or a turnover. Sometimes, man,
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: you just got to trust it, trust your eyes and
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: let it go and hopefully your receivers can bail you
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: out well.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: Return with the final look at this Charger's Jaguars matchup
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: this Sunday, Week eleven at EverBank Stadium, it is huddle
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: up with Bucky Brooks.
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: Yeah, we do need to respond. It is part of us.
• 29:13
  Speaker 9: And you know, we talked a lot about today that
• 29:18
  Speaker 9: the soul.
• 29:20

  Speaker 9: and provides you as people, as teammates, as men, and
• 29:35
  Speaker 9: that connection is what's gonna get us over the hump
• 29:38
  Speaker 9: in those moments and then a tough time like coming
• 29:41
  Speaker 9: off a loss like Sunday.

  Speaker 3: a special appearance. You'll meet them all there at Public's
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: where shopping is a pleasure. Chargers Jaguars matchup this Sunday,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: delivered by CSX and the first time these teams have
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: met since the wild Card playoff game after the twenty
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: twenty two season, a game in which the Jaguars trailed
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: twenty seven nothing with four first half interceptions from Trevor Lawrence.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: He threw a touchdown before halftime, three more in the
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: second half, and you know.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: The rest Jaguars got the job done.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: It was a decent night at the bank that night
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: for those who didn't leave at halftime, though I know
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: a few that did.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Well in the Chargers.
• 30:47
  Speaker 6: About five or six years ago, remember were sort of
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: a thing for this franchise.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: He couldn't beat on those Philip Rivers. Man, Yeah, he
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: was killed.
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: And that's really not I don't think they've won the
• 30:58
  Speaker 6: last three, but they've won three that I can start
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: of recall top mat, So that's not that's not a thing,
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: but it is a It's a really important game to me,
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: Bucky for them to I don't want to say they
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: have to win it because the Chargers are a good team.
• 31:15
  Speaker 7: I mean, you want to win.
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: It, but the Chargers are good. If you lose this,
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: the schedule still maps out. I mean you can still
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: get in. But I think they need to play well.
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: I would worry if it's a if it's a RAMS
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: type game on tipe, like if you follow the pattern,
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: if Seattle lost, then Rams it just goes away and
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: the Charges are capable of doing that. So I think
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: after the Houston game, I think it's really important for
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: this team to play well, for them to you know,
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: hit back physically, to be them and build something going forward.
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: You don't want to have a twenty six nothing fourth
• 31:59
  Speaker 6: co or and then a bad game on Sunday and
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: everybody right now they've been outscored xxx for the last
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: five court you know, so I think it's really important
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: that that not happened.
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm really excited to see which team shows up
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: on Sunday because this is a test that Lim has
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: kind of talked about since you took the job.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: You talked about you're gonna have to deal with adversity.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: You got to have a tough run team, a tough
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: minded team that can bounce back and whether the storm
• 32:24
  Speaker 5: where the storm is here, because everyone in the football
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: world is going to expect the Jaguars to lay down
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: against the Charges coming on the heels of falling apart
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: into fourth quarter and they have a chance to kind
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: of rewrite that narrative. And honestly, I would say the
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: confidence that we had coming out of San Francisco when
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: we beat a good San Francisco team on the road
• 32:44
  Speaker 5: and we begin to feel like, Okay, this team may
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: be legit. A win against the Chargers would validate that
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: feeling and give this team the confidence that they need
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: to really attack the stretch run. If you don't get
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: it and you don't play well, then you begin to one, Okay,
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: you're five and five, five hundred, Yeah, you.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: Can get in, but it's not the same kind of swagger.
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: My hope for the team is that they played well
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: enough that they can use as a springboard to a
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: really fantastic finish.
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and along those lines, from a playoff watching the
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: big boards scenario, this is a more important game than
• 33:21
  Speaker 6: last week, or potentially more important.
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: If you get.
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: This, you've got tie breaker edges on LA and Kansas
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: City by the way. So and I get because you
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: didn't be Houston, you let them back in a little bit,
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: but it's as important on those lines. The Colts are up.
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: It's gonna be hard to catch the Colts. I'm gonna
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: say they can't, but that end of the season stuff.
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: The Chargers and the Chiefs figure the way Denver's playing
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: could easily be wild card ish type teams. So it's
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: big on that front. Like I said, if you get
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: this one, you're six and four.
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: And you need four more.
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: You need four more if you get this one, do
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: you just need four out of the remaining.
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: Schedule right to be able to get in?
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: And you think about no disrespect to Tennessee, like no
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: disrespect to Arizona and then the Jets. I mean, like
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: there's a path for you to clear it to be
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: able to say, hey, we're going in and we got
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: the pop pops and we're going but you want to
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: get this one.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: So that you can have some wiggle room down the stretch.
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, coming into this two game stretch, you would have said,
• 34:25
  Speaker 6: if you get one of them, meaning Houston or the Chargers,
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: you feel good. The Texans game felt like a gut
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: punch because of the quarterback, but overall, looking at the schedule,
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: you would have thought, okay, split with the Texans.
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: They won the division last year.
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: You know, that would have felt like, Okay, it's very
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: possible to lose that game. But now that you've lost that,
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: it makes Sunday really important.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: Certainly does.
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: Chargers currently the five seed seven and three record, the
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Jaguars currently the seven seed, five and four record. Lot
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: of football still to be played, but it's getting to
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: mid November and the games get really important from here
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: on out.
• 35:06
  Speaker 7: Soon there's not a lot of football, right.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: That's usually how it goes down, John Thanks Right, especially
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: after Thanksgiving, the weeks start going away.
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: There's less and less football to be playing. Maybe it
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: should be the John Oser Huddle Up Podcast.
• 35:23
  Speaker 7: After that.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: Is all good?
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's what we're paying you for. That's big
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: John h. Bucky enjoyed it as always. Have a great week.
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: We'll talk to you this weekend. Bucky Brooks out in
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: Los Angeles. He's not coming over with the Chargers, though
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: he'll come separate. Maybe his other podcast partner will be
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: coming with the Chargers though.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: DJA.
