• 1:07
  Speaker 2: and I guess morning. Well, yeah, it is afternoon out
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: there in LA. I suppose I'm all whacked out with
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: a time zone still, I'll be honest with you.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm with you.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: I'm with you on that.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Like it's been a little bit of a wild ride
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: coming back and trying to settle in and ben on
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: the West Coast. I'm really behind because it's eight hour
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: time change. But hopefully about Sunday we'll be back on track.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Have a lot of energy to watch. Did Jaguars take
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: on the Packers?
• 1:32
  Speaker 5: Does he complain all the time or is it just
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: this show?
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I think just went prompted like by me.
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: I mean, it is good to be back, and do
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: they have momentum? I guess we're gonna find out, Right.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: There's one way to find out, and that's to play
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: the next game. Before we get to the Packers Jaguars matchup,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: of course, let's take a final look at that Jaguars
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Patriots game at Wembley. It was nothing and I think
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: everybody who is around the team a lot or watches
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: every game fans. Everybody's like, oh, oh, here we go.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: But that drive, they go right down the field, they score,
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: They answered the ten to nothing deficit, and they scored
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: twenty five straight points in the game and you know,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: had the big deep ball to Brian Thomas Junior. They
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: started running the ball in the second half. The department turned
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: touchdown before halftime, blew the roof off the place, Bucky,
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: and they fought back. They showed a little something they
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: haven't shown really a lot this year, and that's fight
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: and adversity and fighting through the adversity to get over
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: the top.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a really good.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Showing of toughness, particularly coming off the week in which
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: you had talks about quitting, You had questions about the
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: culture and all of that. To fall behind ten nothing
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: then to climb out of that, it not only shows
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: the character of the players, but it shows that they
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: may have a little more to them than what meets
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: the eye. To fall behind to the pages because I
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: felt like going into the game, there's a lot of
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: pressure on the Jaguars.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Everyone expected them to knock off the Patriots. They thought
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: the Patriots were not a good team, et cetera, et cetera.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: For them to fall behind, it did kind of close
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: the game the way that they closed it out. I
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: thought it was a very impressive showing and one that
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: might give them a little momentum if they can take
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: care of business in week eight.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Bucky, I don't know if you're I assume you
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: can't see what we're seeing in terms of the footage
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: being rolled.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: But oh I can see it.
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: Okay, Well, all right, well producing before I don't know
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: I'm going to my next life, I'll be a producer.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: But as you were talking, they showed the throw to
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: Christian Kirk from Trevor Lawrence, and I kind of want
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: to give credit where it's due. Three weeks ago, all
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: I ever heard was how Trevor couldn't had zero accuracy,
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: couldn't complete a pass, was terrible. I thought that passed
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: to Christian Kirk at that moment when they really needed
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: it was a big time throw. You know, I'm i
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: saying other quarterbacks in the league couldn't hit it. But Bucky,
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: what do you think of that throw in in that moment?
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: That's a second level throw across over a defender. I
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: think he in the last couple of weeks has made
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: some big time throws in big time moments.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: You know, It's funny because what's been lost in the
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: outcome of the Jaguars games has been the improvement that
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: you're seen throughout the team, and particularly Trevor Lawrence. Since
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: the Indianapolis Coast game, he has played at a higher level.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: He's played more like the Trevor Lawrence that we thought
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: would show up and the one that we're hoping to
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: continue to see show up. To throw to Christian Kirk
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: was a high level throw. The one in the back
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: of the end zone to Brian Thomas Junior was another one.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: And the improved consistency and accuracy of the deep ball
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: has been a big part of it. So if you
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: throw the records aside and you begin to look at
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: how the team is playing, particularly how Trevor Lawrence is playing,
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: and how some of the playmakers are playing, you should
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: be optimistic that this team is gonna catch fire at
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: some point. We're hoping that it takes place in Week eight,
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: but at some point this thing is going to click in.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: This offense is gonna take off, and if the defense
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: can kind of meet the offense where it's going, this
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: team still could have a very, very successful season.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: A JP the completion percentage over the last three weeks
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: up almost twenty points over the start of the season. Now,
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: it was really bad at the beginning of the season,
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: but twenty points in completion percentage is a lot, and
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: I agree with Bucky. He has looked very consistent with
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: the big plays and he might be up around ninety
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: percent if Yeah, the receivers have caught the.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Palling drop touchdowns right yeah.
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: In Chicago, So yeah, I think that's as good as
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: sign as you could have.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: They certainly ran the ball in the second half, seventeen
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: play stretch in a row where it was every run
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: it was a scramble the first one and then sixteen
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: called running plays after that. That was included the fourth
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: down stop by the way in that stretch. But they
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: just dedicated themselves to it Bucky and said, you know what,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: tanks our guy, We're gashing him. Then Doug Peterson today
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: was like, Yeah, what else are we supposed to do?
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Keep front of the football. It's a good feeling.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: It is a good feeling.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: You talked about how when you look at these chunk
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: plays that they were popping off, they were popping off
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: sevens and twelves and thirteen yard runs in secession, it
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: does give you a lot of confidence. I go back
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: to a conversation that I had with Joe Thomas, Hall
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: of Famer talked about the offensive line being better than
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: people thought, also talking about how this team has an
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: old school feel to it in terms of the types
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: of runs they'd like to execute inside zone, power runs
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: in between the tackles down hill.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: I felt like it was the perfect marriage.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Of scheme and player in terms of tank Bigsby getting
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: a heavy workload, given the opportunity to be the workhorse back,
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: the Jaguars might have uncovered something that can add a
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: dimension to their offense that helps this offense finally play
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: at the level that we expected coming into the season.
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: I have a question for the pop psychologist heavy Bucky.
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: All I've gotten since Sunday it seems like is email's
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: critic sizing Doug for going forward on fourth and one, right,
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: and I agree, if that situation had happened in a vacuum,
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: I think I get it, meaning absolutely kick the field
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: goal and everything logically takes to kick the field goal.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: But don't you think, Bucky, that there was a little
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: bit of a I'm going to reward this offensive line
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: for the moment, for the way they've played, the way
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: they've improved. This is their best run blocking, you know,
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: stretch in a long time. Let's just see if they can.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Drive it home.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: Let's give the guys the benefit.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Of the doubt.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: I'm probably not saying that very well, but is there
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: something there?
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, what he was trying to do is he was
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: trying to put an xtamation point at the end of
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: the sentence, like he wanted to let everyone clearly know
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: that the Jaguars were back, that they had had kind
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: of like a signature performance that was going to give
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: them a lot of confidence.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Stood to thinking, I disagreed with.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: The thought process because I thought it was more important
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: for this team to win in a certain fashion, meaning
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: let's just play clean football, let's play.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Smart football in.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Terms of understanding situation awareness, Let's continue to stack points
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: so that you can stand in front of the team
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: and be like, that is a Jaguars football performance. Instead,
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: the game kind of became closer than the need to
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: become because when you didn't get it, they went right
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: down the field and those things. I felt like if
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: he wanted his actions to match his words, because in
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: the locker room he talked about, hey, guys, let's make
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: sure we have situational awareness to finish the game the
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: right way. If he wanted his actions to match his words.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Then what you do is you kick the field goal,
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: go it by three scores, and then allow your defense
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: to kind of play the way you wanted to play, Ben,
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: but don't break, and maybe you end up blowing them
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: out by a bigger margin and.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Holding on like you did in this game.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: The Jaguars had a long week at the Grove after
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: that loss to the Chicago Bears, of course, and Tank
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Bigsby told us in the locker room all they really
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: had to do up there was stare at each other,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: and then it was a long week of staring at
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: each other and Mitch Morrise on Tuesday, the Jaguars Center
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: discussed that week maybe bringing this group together a little
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: bit closer.
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: You know, it's kind of like a weird mid season,
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: not training camp in regards to workload, but you know,
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: some teams go away for training camp and you have
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: this weird renaissance as a team in regards to you're
• 9:28
  Speaker 6: in tight orders.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: You're forced to hang.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: You know, there's no place to escape, right So if
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: there was any time for that to happen, I think
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: it was the best time to do it. And was
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: It was difficult because we didn't like the results.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Of the week prior.
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: But I thought we came out and just had a
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: great week of practice, really loved up on each other,
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: and then we came out with energy. I think that
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: was the biggest thing was we found a little bit
• 9:52
  Speaker 6: of energy that now we have to make it a
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: snowball effect, right, like we know.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: What works and we know.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: Always have to fly it weekly and that's it's easier
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: said than done, so we'll have to figure that out.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: That's much more. Is the full of press conference availability
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: on zoom on Jaguars dot com. Bucky and yeah, there's
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: something to that. If you stare at John Osier enough
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: all week, you know they're gonna work better together in theory.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Right, there's something too what Mitch Morts was saying.
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: During the Pros game interview, I asked Doug Peterson about
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: being forced to stay in London for ten days and
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: how it's kind of like a mini training camp.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: He thought there was some benefit to it.
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: He thought guys were less distracted because they couldn't go
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: and do.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: All the things.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: They had to hang as a team together. And as
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: we all know, the best teams are the most connected teams,
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: the ones that really one another another and within the
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: I will say, the the pro football environment, you try
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: to create a brotherhood where people really care about the
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: person that is playing to the right and to the
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: left of them. That we gave them an opportunity to
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: bond and know each other. And I think it's telling.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: And not only did coach Peterson say that, but a
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: handful of players talk about how important it was for
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: them to be away from the States to be with
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: their team so they could kind of handle the adversity
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: as a group and they felt like they were better
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: for it coming out at the end of the game.
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, JP, you can't be there and not feel that
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: a little bit. It certainly benefited them last year. They
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: were a different team coming back. They played different for
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: three or four weeks after that. What you worry about, obviously,
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: is they got healthy against a team that frankly played
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: at times like a rebuilding team trying to find itself.
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: Now because of your start, you're two and five coming
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: back and you've got I think they need to win
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: three or four to get sort of back to where
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: they feel like they're afloat. They'll need that continuity. And
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: I'm not trying to throw water on what they did.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: It's just now you've got to sort of make that
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: last and have it manifest itself through a tough stretch.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: It's a really tough task. I think it'll help them.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: I hope it helps them enough, I guess, is what
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: I'm getting at. It's a tough stretch.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: It's certainly the next five opponents all have winning records.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: The next four are all NFC contenders in their respective divisions,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: and three of the four are in the toughest division
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: in football this year, the NFC Norse.
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: And they all need it. It's that's running time. So
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: it's uh because without saying, boy, I wish they had
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: started one in five. It's stupid thing to say, but
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: everybody in the locker room today is saying the right
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: things about we can get back in it. Boy, you
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: gotta get a couple in a row to get back
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: in it, and I hope they can do it.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they gotta do it now. Buck, I mean the
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, the buck stops here. You gotta you gotta
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: get going this week.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you gotta get going. You wanted to happen this week.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: But let's uh, let's take a realistic view of how
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: the playoffs can be attained. So the magic number for
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: postseason play is ten. The Jaguars are sitting in whatever
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: they are, what are they two and six five or whatever?
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: Two and five, So they have to put together a
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: stretch to set them up to be able to play
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: some meaningful games down the stretch. When we look at
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: the schedule, we can say that the last six games
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: kind of open up some opportunities.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: For the Jaguars.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: So the main thing is throughout the first part of
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: the season it's to tread water. When we look at
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: this next stretch of four games, we talk about in
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: football landscape, we talked about you want to go three
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: and one every quarter over these next four games. If
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: they can get the three and one, two and two
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: or whatever, it puts them in a position to make
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: a run for the playoffs the last quarter of the season.
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: So the guys are right, they need to put it together.
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: But even with this game on the horizon the Packers,
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: it's not a must win, but you have to get
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: a handful of these games over the next four to
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: be able to put yourself in a position to legitimately
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: think about the postseason.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Three game back, three games back of the Houston Texans
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: and the division will come back in a moment and
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: look forward now to the Packers Jaguars matchup. Florida Blue

  Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars. This is Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks.
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: I would say this, anything's possible, but you know, listen,
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: it's a one, one week at a time mentality, as
• 14:39
  Speaker 8: you know, and it's it's you just try to go
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: one and oh you just try to you know, try
• 14:44
  Speaker 8: to figure out how to win a game this week.
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: But I think we can lean and look back on
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: that time and say, hey, you know, we've been here before,
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: we know what this, we know what this looks like,
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: and you know what did we do well then that
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: we can apply to today. And you know, there's a lot
• 15:03
  Speaker 8: of ball ahead of us, you know, And yet I
• 15:08
  Speaker 8: think each week, each week now becomes a little bit
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: more important, you know, for us as as a team.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: You have a head coach Doug Peterson. Earlier today, full
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: press conference at Jaguars dot com and Jaguars YouTube JP
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: Shadwick with John Oser and Bucky Brooks. It's huddle up
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: with Bucky Brooks. The Jaguars are facing off against the
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Packers this week. The crucial catch game is here, and
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: then we'll fight cancer through early detection, risk reduction, and
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: awareness all game long this Sunday. Luck in your tickets
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: at Jaguars dot com slash tickets or cold nine zero
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: four six three three two thousand. He was referencing, of course,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: that twenty twenty two season when the Jaguars had this
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: identical record and they got worse, and then they won
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: a bunch of games at the end of the year
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: to walk down Tennessee and win the division in the
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: final day of the season. But it's gonna start soon,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: and preferably this week against Green Bay, a Packers team. Bucky,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: that's five and two. They've got a highly paid quarterback
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: who's playing well efficient football since his knee injury missed
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks earlier in the year, and they
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: spread it around to a bunch of different guys. Jordan
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Love of course with you know this two weeks two
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: and three this year, but eleven straight games, including the playoffs,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: with two or more passing touchdowns. So he's gonna throw
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: some touchdowns. He's gonna throw some interceptions as well, but
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: those touchdowns are coming. That's just kind of how it
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: goes with this guy. And then we'll get to the
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: defense coming up.
• 16:37
  Speaker 8: But this.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Offense for Green Bay and Jordan Love, the way he's
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: playing right now, what is it about what's happened with him,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: especially since the knee injury. Doug Peterson talked a little
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: bit about that today. Buck.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, No, this is a really good quarterback.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: Someone they put a lot of time in terms of
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: his development, and you can see how different he is
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: from when he came out of Utah State and how
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: he's developed since the first opportunity he got to play
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: for the Packers. They can think against the Kensey Chiefs
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: a few years ago. He is someone who has a
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: lot of confidence. He understands where to go with the
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: football within this offense. And what they've done is they've
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: surrounded him with a bunch of young playmakers who are
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: not necessarily established in a pecking order, meaning like having
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: an established number one receiver. But Jordan Love simply throws
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: the ball to the open man, and sometimes that's scarier
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: than a priority system where you know who the number
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: one to number two and the.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: Number three options are.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: This is a different type team and they can do
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: that because the quarterback is really really good and really
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: effective and efficient.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's clear against this team they force turnovers,
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: meaning the Packers. You have to protect the ball and
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: then you have to force You have to realize he's
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: going to score a couple of touchdowns. But when you
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: get the opportunity for picks. Think about the other day
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: against the Patriots. You know, as much as you talk
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: about whether Jars let him back in it, they had
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: two opportunities for picks in the second half that could
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: have absolutely slammed the door. I seem has two takeaways.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: You can beat Green Bay if you take advantage of
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: your opportunities when you have a chance for turnovers. So
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: I think that's gonna be the formula this week. Jordan
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: Love is really really good. But when you see a
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: guy who is giving the other team opportunities means you
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: have to take those opportunities.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely got to take them when they're there. They
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: missed a couple last week, Bucky. How about the changes
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: last week on defense? Darnel Savage was it safety? Jar
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: and Jones at Nickel, Tyson Campbell returned. You could see
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Foyer Lukin back on the field this week. It'll be
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: interesting to see the dynamic there at the second level
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: of this defense, what they do if they're rotating. What's
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: the story. But all in all, what did you make
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: of all the changes that were rolled out there last week?
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: And how can they better cover all these guys that
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: go down the field, especially the tight ends for goodness sake.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's a huge challenge, but I like some of
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: the things that are made, and I think everyone has
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: to understand there's a great.
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Emphasis on defense.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: And where the rankings are in those things, and a
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: lot of times people are judging defense by yards, but
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: I think what you need to do is pay attention
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: to points aloud and then how they perform in critical areas.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Was the red zone defense, with third down defense in
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: those things, like the Jaguars are not being great in
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: those areas, but they have shown improvement in certain aspects,
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: and I would say that as they return to health,
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: with Tyson Campbell coming for you, Lua Khan coming back,
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: it allows them to play some of the combinations that
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: we saw in the off season where they had dying
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: packages with six DB's on the field, they had various
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: nickel looks with different personnel on the field in different spots.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: They really haven't been able to do that because, to
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: be honest, the first half of the season they played
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: with a bunch of backups in key roles. As this
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: team gets healthier, the defense will improve and you'll start
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: to see some of those matchups that we see. But
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: the dime packaging, particularly with Antonio Johnson and Jerryon Jones
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: playing the nickel in the dimeback position in the.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: Slot, I think that helps.
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: And I think against eam like this that likes to
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: use the tight ends rather than using your linebackers on
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: those tight ends and passing nows, look for the smallest
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: dbs and safety types that play over those tight ends
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: because some of those guys are really pass catchers more
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: so than true Why tight.
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: Ends do you think, Bucky, and I think we've talked
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: about this a little bit, either on or off the air.
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: You get Dewy back, you keep Vntroll in the lineup,
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: you get Foyer back. These are guys to me who
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: are instinctive old school football players, meaning a lot of
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: field awareness, very smart players. How much do you think again.
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: We all know dev and Lloyd's issues with you know,
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: getting faked in certain situations and just not seeing it,
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: and Antonio had some of the same stuff, getting deuy Ventrell, Foyer,
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: all those guys in the middle of the defense very
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: aware players. How much do you think that's going to
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: help them?
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: Look, I think it'll helped them a lot, because one
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: those guys are in communication positions, and a lot of
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: the issues that we've seen in the defensive backfield of
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: the second level has been due to communication. Guys going coverage,
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: guys not knowing exactly where they're supposed to go, how
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: they're supposed to.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: Switch, and those things. Dewey is a really important piece.
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: Tarting to their coaches a few weeks ago, they talked
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: about he's the starter, He's one of the glue pieces.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: And what it does is it allows you to continue
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: to reshape the way that you want to match up
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: because if Dewey goes into the game as a deep safety,
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: it allows you now to use Darnell Savage in a
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: different role. It allows you to put him over the
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: slot and maybe kick Jones or Johnson into another situation.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: The flexibility that comes with your guys returning to health,
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: we probably will finally see the defense that we thought
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: that we were gonna see when everyone returns to health.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: And I know what the preseason was, the preseason, but
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: during the preseason, this defense looked a lot of defense
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: than the version that we're seeing right now.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: Putting ahead, let's come back and take a look at
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: the Jaguars offensive matchup this week against a Packers defense
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: that leads the league in takeaways. Jacks fans want customize

  Speaker 2: huddle up with Bucky Brooks.
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: It's football, and you can't let one mistake snowball, and
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: you can't feel like because you made a mistake, you
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: don't have a chance. You gotta play loose and free,
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: and you can't play tight. So I think we've done
• 22:51
  Speaker 7: a good job of balancing those things right Like in
• 22:54
  Speaker 7: the situation we're in, it's been you know, you have
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: to remind yourself it's still a game, and I gotta
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: go out there and play with com finance and cut
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: it loose, especially as a quarterback. I gotta trust what
• 23:02
  Speaker 7: I see and be able to cut it loose. I
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: can't be afraid to make a mistake because of the
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: situation we're in, So I do think you have to
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: have a lot of those dialogue as a team in
• 23:11
  Speaker 7: within yourself, honestly.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence of course, Jaguars quarterback. Yeah, it's kind of
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: a difference at Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube. Welcome back.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: It's Uddle up with Bucky Brooks. The Packers Jaguars game
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: is presented by Florida Blue, Proud to be the exclusive
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: health insurance partner and support the Jacksonville community as the
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: official community partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. JP Shadwick, John Osier,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks. One o'clock kickoff time this Sunday for the
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Jaguars and the Packers. The Packers come in with the
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: league's leading takeaway defense seventeen takeaways this season, Bucky, and
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: They've got talent all around the back end of this defense.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Safety's Avery McKinney had five picks in each of the
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: first five games of the season, one in each of
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: those games. He has six takeaways total this year alone.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Tyre Alexander's out there. I mean, this is a team
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: that if you throw it up there, they're gonna go
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: after it and get it a lot of times.
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: No, that's a good team, really good secondary, turnover obsessed secondary.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: And part of that comes from Jeff Hafley and what
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: he is really Look what he's preached since he took over.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: He talked about he wanted this team to be number
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: one in turnovers and number one in effort. So they
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: play hard, they play with their eyes on the quarterback,
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: and they really go after the ball. Seventeen takeaways they
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: have this season, and they didn't get one last week.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: This is a unit that you're gonna have to be
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: very careful with the ball. But I love hearing what
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: Trevor said in terms of you gotta let it go.
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: I think we've had this conversation, whether it's on air
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: or off air, where we talked about sometimes you just
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: want to see Trevor let it rip.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: This is a game where you want to see.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: Him let it rip because a confident, aggressive Trevor is
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: gonna be a really good Trevor for the Jaguars. Yeah,
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: you got to pick and choose your spots when to
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: fit it in the tight windows, but point where we
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: need to let it go, let the playmakers make plays.
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: And the only way you can do that is you
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: have to be selectively aggressive, even against the defense that
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: really loves taking the ball away, like the Green Bay Packers.
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: I think it's easier for Trevor to do that than
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: at any point in his career because you've reached a
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: point with Brian Thomas Junior where you feel like, if
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: he's in single coverage, you can trust to throw it
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: his way and he's going to make a play on it.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: And I mean, he's always gonna catch it, but your
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: percentages are very high. He really hasn't had a guy
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: like that yet where okay, automatically, if you're in single
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: we're going to you. So not to get off topic,
• 25:39
  Speaker 5: but Brian Thomas Junior, has there been a game except
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: maybe Buffalo, where he hasn't had at least one big
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: play that makes you go wow, And that's stunning for
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: a rookie. The other day, he had another one of
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: those games where there are three touchdown moments in the
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: first half. He had the touchdown at the fifty eight
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: yard or and he had the two point conversion that's
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: an unbelievable percentage of big plays that matter on drives
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: for a rookie wide receiver in this league.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's really good, and he's even better than I
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: can imagine. I mean, he likes and I know I
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: say that. I say that like because sometimes we can
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: overhype guys and we get excited over a small stretch
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: or whatever. But I would say that, Uh, that comment
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: is based on what the guys from LSU told me
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: in terms of the comparison between him and Mylik Neighbors,
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: and when they compared it to they talked about Molik
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: Neighbors being super competitive and being more of a dog,
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: but they talked about Brian Thomas Junior being gifted and
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: talented and not even knowing how good he could be
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: at the next level. What we've seen is all of
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: that talent, all of those gifts that he's less with
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: kind of come together. And when the guys talk about
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: he's a different person on the field, he has a
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: different persona that all to ego is one that leads
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: you to believe he's not only a number one receiver,
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: but this is a who can be an elite receiver.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: Something that we certainly haven't seen in Jacksonville since the
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: Jimmy Smith era.
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: I'm pretty cool too, JP, so I'm gonna say dog too.
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: But Bucky, doesn't it feel because I heard the same
• 27:13
  Speaker 5: things you did. We talked about Brian Thomas Junior right
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: after the draft and that was sort of the one
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: thing that was not known about him. Did he have
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: that dog mentality?
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: And it?
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: Maybe I'm just not cool enough to know exactly what
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: dog is, but he looks like he's playing with more
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: of that than maybe his His pre draft analysis indicated.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: That that that is that.
• 27:43
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna make it him for you, Strond because I
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: hang with all these teenagers and stuff, and they talk.
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: About the dog.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: That's what I always say about.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah so so so so.
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: Think about the feistiness and the combativeness of a junkyard
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: dog in the backyard, someone that is always looking for
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: the fight, looking for an intense competition, and not afraid,
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: won't back down.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: I happen to have a little pit boll that is
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: And so she likes to engage in these interactions. By
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: Thomas Junior has it, and we probably should have known
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: that from the time that he made to play early
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: in the game against Jalen Ramsey drawn into fairness and
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: he jawed at him because those of us who've been
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: around the Jaguars know that Jalen doesn't back down from
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: any kind of situations as combative or competitive. So for
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: BTJ to do that speaks a lot about him. And
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: each week as he's made more.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: Big plays for me on the sideline, it is very reminiscent.
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: Of the way the Warriors respond to Steph Curry knocking
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: a three down or two or three threes in a row.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: He energizes this unit with his playmaking ability and they're
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: living on the edge of their seas until he makes one.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: And I'm gonna be honest, after he makes a play,
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: it lights a fire up under this team. I don't
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: think his I think the coaches are doing this by
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: design for early in games. They're taking shots because they're
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: trying to get the party started, and BTJ is the
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: guy that kind of gets it going because his play
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: making ability is so much different than some of the
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: other guys that we have on the squad.
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, JP, this is a weird thing to say about
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: a two and five team, but you know it's encouraging
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: that you've got Brian Thomas Junior doing this because I
• 29:24
  Speaker 5: feel like Bigsby's got the same stuff and he's ascending
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: the same way. And you've got an offensive line that's
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: starting to play a little bit, but especially Bigsby in BTJ.
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: I can't remember a time and I may just be forgetting,
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: but where you've had two young players on this franchise.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: We've been around you and I for you know, twelve
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: thirteen years. Can you remember a time where you've had
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: two young guys that are consistently making big plays where
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: you feel like they're, you know, possible Pro Bowl level
• 29:58
  Speaker 5: guys they're playing. I don't want to put Tank in
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: the prole yet, but you know what I'm saying, there's
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: plays being made that are special. I don't remember two
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: young guys quite like this, and it's weird to say
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: it about a two and five team. There is obviously
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: issues for other two and five, but those two things
• 30:13
  Speaker 5: are very interesting going forward, very interesting.
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: And I'm gonna say this and I'm gonna throw him
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: in there, even though he's on the other side of
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: the ball, I will say that being around the team
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: on game and watching their interactions, Brian Thomas junior. Tank
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: Bigsby and Ventre Miller are the energizers. They are really
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: bringing the energy. It changes the dynamic. I think as
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: we talk about Brian Thomas junior, his playmakes abillity between
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: the lines is one thing. The toughness, the physicality, the
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: rugged running style that Tank Bigsby displays is another thing
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: because it brings that old school football kind of.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: Persona to the offense.
• 30:49
  Speaker 4: Ventrel Miller his energy, I would say, his verbal nature
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: in terms of how he gets this team going. Like
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: they have some young guys that are really ready to
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: step up. And it's surprising because you have some really
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: good players that are older, but they're more quiet in
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: how they go about the business. Trevor's quiet, Josh sns
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: Allen is quiet, Christian Kirk is quiet.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: These young dudes, they're not quiet.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: They are about it, and I think they're bringing the
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: other guys with them as they continue to make plays.
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: You talk about a two and five team, and I
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: know where we're at it and we're talking about, oh
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: my god, two and five, the sky's falling and all that.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: But this team has some really intriguing pieces.
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: If they can put it together, I wouldn't be surprised
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: to see this team going to run and be the
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: team that we taught that they could be.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: Tank Bigsby now second in the league in yards per
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: carry average as average went down last week, he was
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: above seven yards per carry going into the game at Wimbley.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: And then Brian Thomas Junior the fourth player in the
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: last fifteen seasons with five hundred or more receiving yards
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: and four or more touchdowns through seven career games. The
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: other three aj Green, Odell Beckham Junior and Jamar Chase.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: So Thomas off to a fantastic start as well. We're
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: back in a moment and we'll get our final talks
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: before the Packers Jaguars matchup. This is huddle up with
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks.
• 32:23
  Speaker 9: Because you started off with outside and then you talked
• 32:25
  Speaker 9: about inside, you know, and we just kept.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: Inside things inside. You know, we have family in here.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: We try to keep it that way.
• 32:33
  Speaker 9: And at the end of the day, we we're the
• 32:35
  Speaker 9: ones who comes to work every day, you know, and
• 32:37
  Speaker 9: it's like it comes to a point in time where
• 32:39
  Speaker 9: you got to work new things together. You know, you
• 32:41
  Speaker 9: can't worry about what everybody else outside is talking about.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: Just gotta work through it together, and.
• 32:44
  Speaker 9: I think we've done a good job with kind of
• 32:46
  Speaker 9: coming together, getting on the same paid offensively and defensively,
• 32:49
  Speaker 9: and playing special teams as well. You know, Park had
• 32:51
  Speaker 9: a big return just playing complimentary football.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: That's a big part of this league. So we're just
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: trying to keep building on that.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Starting Out Savage, former Packer, playing against his old team
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: this Sunday at the Bank walking back its Huddle Up
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: with Bucky Brooks, j P Shadwick, John Osher with Bucky
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Brooks and Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks has brought to
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: you by Fields Auto Group, Jacksonville. See Fields First, Jacksonville's
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: premier luxury auto group. Go to Fieldsauto dot com. One
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: final thought about the Jaguars offense and the Packers defense matchup, Bucky,
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: what's the situation up front with Green Bay and the
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: matchup for the offensive line this week? The Texans ran
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: on these guys last week a lot.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they were able to run on the Joe Mason
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: had a really really good game.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: And to think about the Packers, when you so turn
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: over obsessed a lot of times, what your approach is
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: at the front line is let's stop to run on
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: the way to the quarterback.
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: You're so.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: I would say, sack hungry, sack obsessed, that you're really
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: thinking every down as a passing play and sometimes you
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: can run right through those guys.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: It's really important that the.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: Jaguars in some way shape or from establish a consistent
• 33:58
  Speaker 4: ground attack, which you want to The void is Trevor having.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: To throw the ball forty to forty five times.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: You would like it to still be a very balanced
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: attack where the magic number is thirty three pass attempts,
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: nothing more than that.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Because you want to dictate the terms.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: Tank Bixby needs to be another big factor running the ball.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: He certainly would get their attention.
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: But if you can run the ball at this front
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: and really physically impose your willing tom what you're trying
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: to do if you're the Jaguars is you're trying to
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: wear them down in the fourth quarter where then you
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: can pop some big plays in the passing game on
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: complimentary play action passes.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: Really, if you think about it, JP in the last
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: four games, no sacks allowed by the offensive line. Twice.
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: They allowed one against Houston, which has a really good front.
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: You know, the big storyline for that game, you recall,
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: was the Texans. Edges really didn't get very much on
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: the Jags. They gave up four against the Bears the
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: game was out of hand. So it feels to me
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: like this offensive line, if you can keep the game manageable,
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: meaning in a situation where the defense doesn't know that
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: you're throwing, where it's that desperation feel of being double
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: digits down in the second half, this offensive line can
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: do it as long as the games in control. I
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: think that's true. Well, I mean, there's a lot offensive
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: lines that if the game's out of control in this league,
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: you're not gonna go to handle its problem. But that again,
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: when you talk about the skill guys on offense, making plays,
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: the young guys, and that line, if you can just
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: get a couple and keep these games in control, there
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: are some pieces to move forward with. My final question
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: for Buck is I guess just that offensive line's got
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: a lot of praise. Is it playing as well as
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: we're all talking about.
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it is playing as well as we're
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: talking about. And the conversation to different people. Doug Peterson
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: talked last week after the Chicago game. We talked about
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: it takes the offensive line about five or six games
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: to have the conduity to play together. Talking to Joe Thomas,
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: Hall of Famer about his experiences in Cleveland, how long
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: it takes the offensive line to Jill, he said, takes.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: About a third of the season.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: We're now at that point, So maybe it's not a
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: coincidence that this unit is beginning to play together. We
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: begin to see them kind of dominate at the point
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: of attack in certain situations. Still need to see us
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: get better on these short yardage gotta have it situations,
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: but look, you don't rush for the amount of yards
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: that Tank Bixby is rushed for in the past two games.
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: Without the offensive line beginning to excel.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: We're beginning to see them kind of impose their will
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: and see them have a lot of success.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Feel good about this one, Bucky, I do.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: I think this is one that can really jump start it.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: Can't say that.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: I can guarantee you win, but I think this team
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: is gonna play well against the Packers and there if
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: they're able to get it, it sets them up to
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: go on a successful run. You talk about Philadelphia, Minnesota
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: in Detroit, this is a gauntlet, a tough gonallet, but
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: there could be a lot of confidence that this team
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: gains from that that helps them when they get down
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: the stretch and they really play for the playoff seeding
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: and playoff positions.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: All right, no lock from Bucky, John, how about you?
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: I can't lock it, and I allude to the show
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: you feel good about overall what they've done in the
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: last really last month, except for the Bears game, which
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: who knows, maybe that was a weird London travel whatever.
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: H Yeah, but now you're getting to the point where
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: you're playing against other hungry teams that are peaking. So
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: you hope it's not too late because it's a bad start,
• 37:28
  Speaker 5: and you hope that the improvements they make are good
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: enough to beat other really really good teams. And it
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: can be. Uh, it's gonna be tough. I mean, it's
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: it's Uh. They have a chance to get it going,
• 37:42
  Speaker 5: and like I said earlier, the schedule that they've got
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: to get it going against makes it a really difficult situation.
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: But they've put themselves there, so now they got to
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: dig their way out of it.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: No, there's only one way to do that. Let's just
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: start winning football games. Bucky, have a great rest of
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: the week, and we will we'll talk to you on
