0:28
Speaker 4: into the huddle Up with Bucky Brooks Busy Show. I

0:33
Speaker 4: matchup last week in Santa Clara. Big time Jags win
0:36
Speaker 4: over a perennial NFC power First look at the Chiefs
0:41
Speaker 4: Jaguars matchup. Defense, setting the tone, special teams contributions along
0:47
Speaker 4: the way. It some issues as well, but some contributions
0:49
Speaker 4: got the job done last week. An offensive line play
0:52
Speaker 4: really spurring this Jaguars team ahead. JP Shadrick, John Oser

1:06
Speaker 4: Bucky, it's a weird week because everything's pushed back a day,
1:10
Speaker 4: So it's quiet in the building here on a Wednesday.
1:12
Speaker 3: How are you great?
1:14
Speaker 5: It's actually a great week for them to have a
1:16
Speaker 5: Monday night game because they kind of needed coming back
1:18
Speaker 5: from the West Coast.
1:19
Speaker 2: All the injuries and just being beat up.
1:22
Speaker 5: It's probably a good time to have an extra day
1:24
Speaker 5: to just kind of reset, refocus, and get back to
1:26
Speaker 5: work tomorrow.
1:28
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's actually perfect for the exactly the reason Bucky sites.
1:34
Speaker 7: They were beat up.
1:34
Speaker 6: It was physical against the forty nine ers, but it
1:37
Speaker 6: feels like they were fortunate in the sense that the
1:41
Speaker 6: beat up didn't equate to being so beat up that
1:45
Speaker 6: you have guys who are out for three or four weeks.
1:48
Speaker 6: All of the injuries Trayvon will see, but most, if
1:53
Speaker 6: not all, feel like ones that really will benefit a
1:57
Speaker 6: day and will be fresher on Monday. So yeah, it's
2:04
Speaker 6: this day. JP feels like the calm for the storm.
2:07
Speaker 6: That's right, because Monday is going to be fun. More
2:10
Speaker 6: build up for this Chiefs game around here than maybe
2:14
Speaker 6: any since, you know, the Monday night game Cincinnati a
2:18
Speaker 6: few years you know, a few years back there was energy.
2:21
Speaker 6: Then it feels me like fans have been waiting and
2:25
Speaker 6: three and one coming back home. This feels like the
2:29
Speaker 6: first of many fun weeks moving forward.
2:32
Speaker 3: To me, it does yeah, yeahs cool. It's really cool, absolutely.
2:36
Speaker 4: And it'll be quite a scene here on Monday night.
2:38
Speaker 4: Let's get our last look at last week's game though.
2:41
Speaker 4: Of course, the defense led the way four takeaways and
2:45
Speaker 4: now thirteen for the season, leads the National Football League.
2:48
Speaker 4: And this how sustainable is this?
2:52
Speaker 3: Buddy? Count on three takeaways a week moving ahead?
2:57
Speaker 5: I mean you can't count on like three a week,
2:58
Speaker 5: but you can't count them. Always been around the ball,
3:01
Speaker 5: I can tell you watching the field level, it's crazy
3:03
Speaker 5: to see there is a turnover obsession that look, it
3:07
Speaker 5: just shows up in the way they go after the ball.
3:10
Speaker 5: It's one thing to run to the ball and make
3:12
Speaker 5: tackles or whatever.
3:14
Speaker 2: It's another thing to always punch at it, poke at it.
3:17
Speaker 5: Fly to the ball, dive it, loose balls once they're tip.
3:21
Speaker 2: This team is obsessed with the ball.
3:24
Speaker 5: And what has happened is because it's paid off so
3:26
Speaker 5: well the first four.
3:27
Speaker 2: Weeks, they just know that they just keep going after it.
3:30
Speaker 5: Good things are going to happen, and so it's part technique,
3:35
Speaker 5: part look, a big part of Hey, we believe it's
3:39
Speaker 5: gonna happen, So it's gonna happen. They certainly have manifesting
3:41
Speaker 5: turnovers and I love it.
3:43
Speaker 6: Yeah, However, you multiply thirteen by four point one or
3:47
Speaker 6: whatever number you have to get to get to how
3:50
Speaker 6: it would play out percentage wise to the end of season.
3:53
Speaker 6: I don't think you're gonna have sixty turnovers or whatever
3:56
Speaker 6: it is. But sort of in line with what Bucky
3:59
Speaker 6: was saying, I do think you're going to continue to
4:03
Speaker 6: have the circumstances that have led to the turnovers. And
4:07
Speaker 6: then some of anytime there's a turnover, there's a little
4:11
Speaker 6: bit of luck. Like if the ball's on the ground,
4:13
Speaker 6: it's got to bounce toward you a little bit. Devin
4:16
Speaker 6: Lloyd the first interception, balls sort of had to bounce
4:20
Speaker 6: a little bit. He made a great play on it,
4:22
Speaker 6: but if it bounced down, he doesn't get it.
4:23
Speaker 7: So there's a little bit of luck.
4:25
Speaker 6: But what's the reason they're getting these turnovers to me
4:30
Speaker 6: is they're stopping the run really well, which has created
4:33
Speaker 6: some situations where the teams have to pass. They have
4:36
Speaker 6: also been ahead in games all but eight or nine minutes,
4:41
Speaker 6: which has created the situation at the end of the
4:42
Speaker 6: game where you have the turnover, they don't get the
4:45
Speaker 6: Armstead fumble if they're not leading. So I think the
4:49
Speaker 6: fundamentals that they are doing to create those percentage situations
4:55
Speaker 6: will continue to happen.
4:58
Speaker 7: Thirteen.
4:59
Speaker 6: You know, are they gonna get sixty No? Are they
5:02
Speaker 6: gonna push into the mid thirties based on the way
5:06
Speaker 6: they're playing, which would be a franchise record. Franchise records
5:09
Speaker 6: thirty three. I think they're going to push for that
5:11
Speaker 6: record because they're doing the things necessary to give them
5:14
Speaker 6: a to give them a chance at turnovers.
5:19
Speaker 5: They really are you know, John, when you talk about
5:22
Speaker 5: having a chance, it's funny when you talk to the
5:24
Speaker 5: players and they just talk about all the things that
5:26
Speaker 5: they were doing in practice.
5:27
Speaker 2: It's paying off.
5:29
Speaker 5: And interestingly, Josh einz Allen and postgame talked about last year,
5:33
Speaker 5: we were doing the things, but we were never getting
5:35
Speaker 5: the turnovers in practice, so that's why we didn't get
5:37
Speaker 5: them in games.
5:38
Speaker 2: And this year we're doing the things that.
5:40
Speaker 5: They're being asked of us, and we're getting the turnovers
5:42
Speaker 5: in practice and it's translating into getting takeaways in games.
5:46
Speaker 5: Now you guys are there watching the practices or seeing
5:49
Speaker 5: the practices, so I don't know how that relates, but
5:52
Speaker 5: I just know that this team feels like they always
5:56
Speaker 5: can turn it over, and in the critical moments of
5:59
Speaker 5: these games, they're getting turnovers that are unlikely in terms
6:03
Speaker 5: of the plays that they're making to kind of either
6:06
Speaker 5: flip the tie back in the Jaguars favor or to
6:09
Speaker 5: close the game out, which bowls well for how this.
6:11
Speaker 2: Team should continue to play going down the stretch.
6:14
Speaker 4: Jaguars offensively last week ran the ball for one hundred
6:17
Speaker 4: and fifty one yards. Big day for Travis Etn Junior,
6:20
Speaker 4: who is now third in the league in rushing. That's
6:24
Speaker 4: a good company to keep early in the season. We'll
6:26
Speaker 4: hope that pace continues with them. Had a touchdown, of course,
6:30
Speaker 4: the forty eight yard right after their takeaway and showed
6:33
Speaker 4: that breakaway ability and a move down the field as well.
6:36
Speaker 3: Really well blocked on that play.
6:37
Speaker 4: But the runoffens is there, Bucky, And when you have
6:40
Speaker 4: that going, that's right up Liam Cohen's alley.
6:44
Speaker 5: It is right up his alley. But I'm gonna say
6:46
Speaker 5: this and I don't know if you guys saw the
6:48
Speaker 5: clip that went bar with Travis Hunter block and he
6:50
Speaker 5: was on NFL's social channels, But normally what happens is
6:54
Speaker 5: when you have big runs is because the guys on
6:57
Speaker 5: the perimeter are blocking, and that is the thing that
7:00
Speaker 5: sometimes has to be negotiated with pass catchers to get
7:03
Speaker 5: them to give effort in the ground game. But to
7:05
Speaker 5: see the Jaguars blocking as physically and with the amount
7:09
Speaker 5: of effort that they're doing, to me, that's a complete
7:12
Speaker 5: buy in in terms of I'm going to be selfless
7:15
Speaker 5: enough to make sure that I do my job to
7:17
Speaker 5: ensure that Travis at ten and some of the other
7:19
Speaker 5: running backs have a chance to maximize their opportunities, and
7:22
Speaker 5: then turn those guys to pay it back.
7:24
Speaker 2: When I have the ball in my hands.
7:26
Speaker 5: A lot of what's happening in Jacksonville has little to
7:29
Speaker 5: do with the x's and o's and has more to
7:32
Speaker 5: do with the chemistry and the connectivity of this team.
7:35
Speaker 5: When you talk to the players, they all talk about
7:38
Speaker 5: the chemistry and buying in and everyone holding each other accountable.
7:42
Speaker 5: It's great to see because it sounds kind of pokey,
7:44
Speaker 5: kind of a fairy tale, but this team really is
7:47
Speaker 5: bought into making sure that they support one another.
7:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I get it. You know emails all the time,
7:54
Speaker 6: when's the passing offense? When's the passing offense going.
7:57
Speaker 3: To get well?
7:59
Speaker 6: And they sort of don't even say passing offense. When's
8:02
Speaker 6: the offense gonna get going? The offense is going. The
8:06
Speaker 6: offense runs the ball, and my experience tells me that
8:10
Speaker 6: it's I see guys open sometimes. I mean not sometimes,
8:17
Speaker 6: but I'm seeing this offense scheming guys open. They're missing
8:22
Speaker 6: a little bit sometimes in the big plays. In the
8:24
Speaker 6: passing game, it hasn't quite clicked. But you know, thirty
8:30
Speaker 6: years doing this tells me it's a lot tougher if
8:33
Speaker 6: the running game isn't working early to figure out to
8:38
Speaker 6: get the buy in the Bucky's talking about systemically. I
8:42
Speaker 6: see the running game. They've run for one hundred and
8:46
Speaker 6: thirty nine or more yards three times. I think that
8:50
Speaker 6: very likely they continue that sort of success. You're not
8:53
Speaker 6: always gonna run for over one hundred and fifty yards,
8:54
Speaker 6: because if the defense wants to take it away, they will,
8:57
Speaker 6: But for the most part, I think they're gonna run
8:59
Speaker 6: the ball well. I think the passing game is going
9:06
Speaker 6: to come along. I worry less about that, Bucky than
9:09
Speaker 6: I would if they weren't running the ball. Well, I
9:11
Speaker 6: guess what I'm saying is I think what they're doing
9:13
Speaker 6: is sustainable.
9:15
Speaker 5: Absolutely, And I think if we go back and we
9:17
Speaker 5: look at the history, sometimes I believe franchises have a
9:19
Speaker 5: blueprint for success that goes beyond which coaches are there.
9:23
Speaker 5: When the Jaguars have really been successful, it has always
9:26
Speaker 5: been a run dominated team.
9:28
Speaker 2: It has always been multiple backs being able to turn
9:30
Speaker 2: out yards.
9:30
Speaker 5: Talk about fred t, Marris Jones, Drew, going all the
9:33
Speaker 5: way back to when they had success with James Stewart
9:35
Speaker 5: and Natron and all those guys. That's kind of the
9:37
Speaker 5: DNA of the program.
9:39
Speaker 2: Now. The thing that you're hoping for is.
9:42
Speaker 5: The success on the ground leads to the big play
9:44
Speaker 5: opportunities for Brian Thomas Junior, Travis Hunter, Breton Strange, Parker Washington,
9:49
Speaker 5: all those and you see the opportunities we just haven't connected.
9:53
Speaker 2: I think it's still time on tasks.
9:55
Speaker 5: Continue to stay with it, continue to encourage Trevor to
9:58
Speaker 5: make the right decisions, and as at some point we're
10:01
Speaker 5: gonna have a breakout game and you're gonna look up
10:03
Speaker 5: and we're gonna have a forty Burger on the board.
10:05
Speaker 5: Don't know when it's gonna happen, but if they keep
10:07
Speaker 5: doing the things that they're doing, at some point it's
10:10
Speaker 5: gonna explode. And when they have that explosion, the confidence
10:13
Speaker 5: will go and then we'll see this team have a
10:15
Speaker 5: chance to go from good to great.
10:16
Speaker 6: JP How come it's never it's forty burger and fifty burger.
10:20
Speaker 6: But you don't get a burger for thirty.
10:23
Speaker 2: No, that's just slider.
10:25
Speaker 3: You're just gonna like a slider. Slider.
10:27
Speaker 5: It's not it's not a common it's like a little
10:30
Speaker 5: tasty thing.
10:30
Speaker 2: Yeah, a burger.
10:32
Speaker 7: It's just like a side of fries.
10:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like it needs to be hardy. So it
10:36
Speaker 2: has to be hardy to be a burger.
10:38
Speaker 5: We put forty points on somebody that's a hearty meal,
10:41
Speaker 5: a little slider.
10:42
Speaker 2: Thirty points that we almost got to thirty. Didn't even
10:45
Speaker 2: feel like we we played good on offense. So that's
10:48
Speaker 2: why it's a slider. It's not a big burger.
10:50
Speaker 3: I'm starving all of a sudden. That works.
10:53
Speaker 4: Special teams kind of some really good and it's not
10:57
Speaker 4: so good in the game. Of course, Parker Washington point
10:59
Speaker 4: return touch down, Baschild Tooton had a long kickoff return
11:02
Speaker 4: that set up points before half. I think they had
11:05
Speaker 4: just under two hundred return yards for the game. That's
11:08
Speaker 4: a pretty good day at the office. In that part
11:10
Speaker 4: of it, there was also a couple of issues. A
11:13
Speaker 4: miss field goal and a big moment where they could
11:15
Speaker 4: have gone up eight and really changed the complexion of
11:17
Speaker 4: the end of the game. Missed that one right and
11:20
Speaker 4: then Lea clinn Allen stepping out of bounds on a
11:23
Speaker 4: kickoff return. If his right foot's out and he catches
11:25
Speaker 4: the ball, the Strattter rule would have applied, it would
11:28
Speaker 4: have been an out of bounds kick. He didn't, So
11:30
Speaker 4: that's a mental mistake there. But hey, you get those
11:33
Speaker 4: return yardage going bucky, then they can really kind of
11:37
Speaker 4: build upon this moving ahead, it feels like, and.
11:40
Speaker 5: What I would tell you is sometimes the return game
11:43
Speaker 5: is a bit contagious in terms of once you started
11:45
Speaker 5: making big returns, what happens is the guys that are
11:48
Speaker 5: blocking for.
11:49
Speaker 2: The returner, they have more belief.
11:51
Speaker 5: And when you have more belief that your guy can
11:52
Speaker 5: go to distance, then you give a little more effort
11:55
Speaker 5: USC had changed in the put return going forward because
11:58
Speaker 5: they've seen Parker wh go to the house. Now every
12:02
Speaker 5: time they go out there, they're gonna give a little
12:04
Speaker 5: more effort because they know number eleven can take it
12:07
Speaker 5: the distance. And I'm gonna say this, Tooton was very
12:09
Speaker 5: close to popping out that kickoff return, and that is
12:12
Speaker 5: another thing where the belief comes. And we're seeing this
12:15
Speaker 5: year more big returns in the kickoff return game, not
12:20
Speaker 5: only for the Jags but around the league. As they're
12:23
Speaker 5: figuring out this dynamic kickoff. You're beginning to see in
12:26
Speaker 5: some tricks and some double teams and some pullers there's
12:29
Speaker 5: some things that they're doing schematically that.
12:31
Speaker 2: Are also helping these guys get loose in the return game.
12:34
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's good to see because that's been missing from
12:36
Speaker 6: the game really for a long, you know, for too long.
12:40
Speaker 6: I have a question for the weather guy.
12:43
Speaker 1: And.
12:45
Speaker 6: I couldn't get a real feel because I was in
12:47
Speaker 6: the press box where the food was great. Liam talked
12:52
Speaker 6: on Monday about Cam Little sort of misjudging the wind
12:57
Speaker 6: a little bit but hit it on the sticks, which
12:59
Speaker 6: you know, I believe because Cam Little generally hits it
13:04
Speaker 6: and in San Francisco. I understood in the first half,
13:08
Speaker 6: for instance, why they weren't going after what the fifty
13:10
Speaker 6: nine sixty yard field. I a lot of fans upset
13:12
Speaker 6: they didn't do that in San Francisco with the win,
13:15
Speaker 6: makes perfect sense. Do you feel like the kicking game
13:19
Speaker 6: beyond about forty five was being affected by that?
13:21
Speaker 5: On Buckie Sunday, No, John, It was so crazy because
13:28
Speaker 5: when you're at the field level and you look, so
13:30
Speaker 5: if I'm on the Jaguars bench and I look to
13:32
Speaker 5: the right at the top of the uprights, the flags
13:35
Speaker 5: are blowing in. If you look down to the other side,
13:39
Speaker 5: the flags are also.
13:40
Speaker 3: Blowing in on those.
13:44
Speaker 5: It was.
13:45
Speaker 2: It was a weird thing.
13:47
Speaker 5: And you can understand because Caim little like been around
13:50
Speaker 5: him for two years, Like he rarely mishits the ball,
13:53
Speaker 5: like he understands how to hit the fade or the
13:56
Speaker 5: draw based on the wins or whatever, and he just
13:58
Speaker 5: never got a.
13:59
Speaker 2: Good sense of what it was doing. A very challenging.
14:03
Speaker 5: Stadium to kick in, just because the dynamics of the
14:06
Speaker 5: stadium and where the wind can come in.
14:09
Speaker 2: It makes it hard to do.
14:10
Speaker 5: And so look, it's one of those things you're so
14:13
Speaker 5: accustomed to see him nail fifty yard is that when
14:16
Speaker 5: he tries out there, you're like, okay, well this is good,
14:18
Speaker 5: so then we're gonna go up eight. And when he missed,
14:20
Speaker 5: you're like, whoa, oh he missed. And that was the
14:23
Speaker 5: feeling on the sideline like everyone was used to. You know,
14:27
Speaker 5: the kickoff team is getting ready to run out of there.
14:28
Speaker 3: Oh he missed it.
14:30
Speaker 2: This is an uncommon thing because he's been so money.
14:34
Speaker 4: That's last week and now we'll come back in a
14:37
Speaker 4: moment and look ahead the Monday night football. The Kansas
14:39
Speaker 4: City Chiefs coming to town, and you need to be here.
14:42
Speaker 3: It's a matchup you don't want to miss.

Speaker 3: You know who wins big. The Kansas City Chiefs win big.
16:06
Speaker 3: They are the.
16:07
Speaker 4: Current dynasty of the National Football League with Andy Reid
16:11
Speaker 4: one of the all time great head coaches.
16:13
Speaker 3: Of course the quarterback.
16:14
Speaker 4: They've got some skilled players, certainly on offense the defense
16:19
Speaker 4: that's aggressive. They've had a lot of success though three
16:22
Speaker 4: Super Bowl wins, they've been to five since Andy Reid
16:25
Speaker 4: has been the head coach there and there you see
16:28
Speaker 4: it on your screen. AFC champions five different times. They've
16:32
Speaker 4: won the division for nine straight years in the AFC West,
16:36
Speaker 4: you know, and they started zero to two this year,
16:39
Speaker 4: and there were some people starting to rumble a little
16:41
Speaker 4: bit about the Chiefs. This is not being eventage a Chiefs. Well,
16:43
Speaker 4: you know what, they've won two straight and they're two
16:45
Speaker 4: and two. They've adjusted some things and look out, the
16:50
Speaker 4: Kansas City Chiefs are come in to town and they
16:52
Speaker 4: are the standard bearer until they're not anymore.
16:55
Speaker 3: Yeah.
16:56
Speaker 7: Historically what you're seeing on the screen is nuts.
16:59
Speaker 6: Yeah. Nine AFC West championships is hard enough. Five out
17:04
Speaker 6: of six Super Bowls, Yeah, it's the Patriots were a dynasty.
17:12
Speaker 6: This in terms of a of a small amount of time,
17:17
Speaker 6: is very close to unprecedented, if not unprecedented. So people
17:22
Speaker 6: who see two and two and say they're down don't
17:26
Speaker 6: believe that because they're They're a team that knows how
17:31
Speaker 6: to win and believes are gonna win. At the same time, Bucky,
17:34
Speaker 6: I'm gonna say this game is very winnable for the
17:36
Speaker 6: Jaguars because I think the Jaguars are good and I
17:39
Speaker 6: think the Jaguars. You know, their history doesn't reflect how
17:44
Speaker 6: they're playing right now. I think with this team's physicality,
17:48
Speaker 6: with their confidence in the running game, with the way
17:50
Speaker 6: they're playing, another game in Kansas City is easy. But
17:56
Speaker 6: in twenty three or twenty two, is that they played
18:00
Speaker 6: him twice and lost. I never really believed, I gotta
18:03
Speaker 6: be honest, that they were going to go there and
18:05
Speaker 6: win on the road in the postseason.
18:07
Speaker 7: I hoped.
18:08
Speaker 6: I thought they had a chance, but I didn't consider
18:10
Speaker 6: that like a game that the Jaguars were You know,
18:14
Speaker 6: I think they go into this game, wouldn't surprise me
18:18
Speaker 6: at all if they win this game, and it have
18:20
Speaker 6: surprised me in either game in twenty two had they won.
18:23
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I believe that, And I think last week
18:28
Speaker 5: was a great pre them or preview for what the
18:32
Speaker 5: Jags need to do to knock off the Chiefs. Going
18:35
Speaker 5: into that game, lin Corn talked about we're not playing
18:38
Speaker 5: the logo, We're not playing the history of the Niners.
18:41
Speaker 5: We're playing this version of the Niners here today. It's
18:44
Speaker 5: the same thing with the Kansas City Chiefs, because sometimes
18:46
Speaker 5: you can get caught up in the mystique of the
18:48
Speaker 5: Cancity Chiefs and the mistique of number fifteen Pat Mahomes.
18:51
Speaker 5: He is a great player, a certain Hall of Famer,
18:54
Speaker 5: all of those things, but you can't get so worried
18:57
Speaker 5: about him that you allow him to be the boogey
19:00
Speaker 5: that prevents you from being able to play with the
19:03
Speaker 5: Kansait the Chiefs because the Jaguars have faltered against them
19:06
Speaker 5: the last few times they played against them. It's really
19:08
Speaker 5: important that they not only make it about themselves, but
19:11
Speaker 5: they just focus on stacking positive plays on top of
19:14
Speaker 5: each other, and then you look them in the fourth quarter,
19:17
Speaker 5: someone has to make the big play to finish the game.
19:21
Speaker 5: In spite of that feeling that you had John about
19:23
Speaker 5: Kansas City in twenty twenty two, if you.
19:25
Speaker 2: Look at that playoff game, they're within a touchdown in the.
19:28
Speaker 5: Fourth quarter and going in and I think there's a
19:32
Speaker 5: turnover that ended it and the chancity kind of runs
19:35
Speaker 5: away from it. And so I remember how they played Benba,
19:38
Speaker 5: don't break, let's just get into the fourth quarter. Well,
19:40
Speaker 5: the way the Jags played now is similar to that defensively,
19:43
Speaker 5: but they might be better obviously in terms of being
19:46
Speaker 5: equipped to control the game and get it on their terms.
19:49
Speaker 2: I'm excited to see this play out on Monday night.
19:51
Speaker 6: And I think the thing you said at the end
19:53
Speaker 6: is the biggest reason that I feel like when they're
19:57
Speaker 6: going against good teams, they maintain confidence throughout. When you
20:03
Speaker 6: can run, it inherently gives you a feeling of confidence
20:09
Speaker 6: and like we're in this thing. It permeates to the
20:13
Speaker 6: entire both teams. When you look out and travesy team's
20:18
Speaker 6: getting eight in the fourth quarter and now it's second
20:21
Speaker 6: and two, you can control that more than you can
20:26
Speaker 6: when you were depending on the pass, And I think
20:29
Speaker 6: it gives you a feeling of confidence. To me, I
20:31
Speaker 6: think they're they're gonna come out and if they succeed
20:34
Speaker 6: running in the first half against Kansas City, I think
20:36
Speaker 6: they're gonna be in the locker room telling each other, Yeah,
20:39
Speaker 6: why can't.
20:39
Speaker 3: We like.
20:41
Speaker 2: We can do this.
20:41
Speaker 7: This is the way we play.
20:42
Speaker 6: They play to an identity, which I've always liked teams
20:46
Speaker 6: that know how they want to play. So I think
20:48
Speaker 6: those are the things that you saw in San Francisco
20:52
Speaker 6: confirmed things to me like, Oh, this is what the
20:54
Speaker 6: team thinks it is and it's what they are San Francisco.
20:57
Speaker 6: You know, I think fans' sort of forgotten that the
21:01
Speaker 6: forty nine roun beat and going into that game, and
21:03
Speaker 6: I get they were down both that they were down guys,
21:05
Speaker 6: but the forty nine ers believe they were gonna win
21:08
Speaker 6: that game against a team that they thought they should beat,
21:11
Speaker 6: probably and the Jaguars didn't really play that And so
21:15
Speaker 6: I think last week's game changes the dynamic of how
21:19
Speaker 6: they feel and how fans should feel about this team.
21:22
Speaker 3: I have a question for the defensive coordinator.
21:25
Speaker 7: But he's gonna give it to He's gonna give you
21:26
Speaker 7: an answer.
21:27
Speaker 4: When you're facing Patrick Mahomes and those weapons that they have.
21:33
Speaker 4: Worthy gets the ball in his hands a bunch of
21:36
Speaker 4: different ways, right, and he's been out, but he's back.
21:38
Speaker 3: Now, where do you focus on offensively?
21:43
Speaker 4: And then with Mahomes extending the play out, how aggressive
21:48
Speaker 4: do you have to be with him near the sideline
21:50
Speaker 4: that's been kind of a touch and go area because
21:52
Speaker 4: he likes to extend it and get a few extra
21:54
Speaker 4: yards and then get that contact near the boundary.
21:58
Speaker 2: Look, I think you have to play it.
21:59
Speaker 5: I don't think you can kind of tiptoe through the
22:01
Speaker 5: tubeles when you're dealing with Pat Mahomes. If you can
22:03
Speaker 5: get put a lick on him, you want to put
22:05
Speaker 5: a lick on them. What you don't want is your
22:06
Speaker 5: defense overthinking the situation. Be smart, don't do anything dumb.
22:10
Speaker 2: But you have to go after him.
22:12
Speaker 5: And typically Pat Mahomes is a runner, and he's got
22:15
Speaker 5: to have it. Moments third down, down in the red zone,
22:18
Speaker 5: when he gets close to the end zone, he'll run it.
22:21
Speaker 2: If they're behind by.
22:23
Speaker 5: Two scores and he feels like he needs to jump
22:25
Speaker 5: start the offense, he'll kind of jump into running mode.
22:29
Speaker 5: He's a talented player, he's a great playmaker, and this offense,
22:33
Speaker 5: Kent City doesn't have a potent running game, and so
22:36
Speaker 5: he's been having to do more on the ground just
22:39
Speaker 5: to add some balance to the offense. So if you
22:41
Speaker 5: can contain him, throttle Isaia Pacheco and the rest of
22:45
Speaker 5: the runners and make this team do what they've made
22:48
Speaker 5: other teams do. Throw when you're loading up the coverage,
22:52
Speaker 5: wait for him to make a mistake. We talked about
22:54
Speaker 5: tips and overthrows and the interceptions coming off of those things.
22:57
Speaker 2: It's the same thing.
22:59
Speaker 5: The only difference with this version of Kansas City now
23:01
Speaker 5: in recent weeks Xavier Worthing coming back. His speed is
23:06
Speaker 5: real and so you have to make sure you keep
23:08
Speaker 5: an eye on him to make sure that he doesn't
23:11
Speaker 5: get over the top and behind the defense. But what
23:14
Speaker 5: that does is that tends to open up the rest
23:16
Speaker 5: of the field. The middle field, they'll have something where
23:18
Speaker 5: they're paying attention to it, but you just have to
23:20
Speaker 5: monitor his whereabouts because the speed.
23:22
Speaker 3: Is legit interesting to see.
23:25
Speaker 4: And then defensively for the Chiefs, they like to get
23:30
Speaker 4: after a lot of different ways. I mean, they're gonna
23:31
Speaker 4: bring a lot of different looks, right Bucky, they are.
23:34
Speaker 5: But one thing that I know is when Steve s
23:37
Speaker 5: Pegnula is down and out, he's going to.
23:39
Speaker 2: Bring some version of a cover zero blitz. He's going
23:42
Speaker 2: to roll the dice.
23:42
Speaker 5: He's gonna put all the defenders up there, and they're
23:44
Speaker 5: gonna bring six or seven To impact the quarterback, Trevor
23:47
Speaker 5: Lawrence is going to have to have his best game mentally,
23:52
Speaker 5: not physically.
23:52
Speaker 2: He doesn't have to be the best.
23:54
Speaker 5: When it comes to completing thirty five out of forty
23:57
Speaker 5: or whatever, but he has to be on his p's
23:58
Speaker 5: and q's when it comes to understanding the pre snap
24:01
Speaker 5: phase of the game getting the Jags into right calls.
24:05
Speaker 5: Some of those calls would need to be run calls,
24:07
Speaker 5: not just passes. But he is really going to have
24:10
Speaker 5: to be sharp when it comes to being able to
24:12
Speaker 5: crack the code on the pre snap disguises to make
24:15
Speaker 5: sure that the Jaguars have play calls. They give them
24:19
Speaker 5: a chance to exploit the defense as opposed to be
24:22
Speaker 5: overwhelmed by the defense and the tactics that they bring.
24:24
Speaker 4: And this is where the operation before the huddle, during
24:29
Speaker 4: the huddle matters. I mean, they've had issues with that
24:31
Speaker 4: over the last couple of weeks, John getting out of
24:33
Speaker 4: the huddle on time play clocks winding down, They're trying
24:36
Speaker 4: to shift guys and move I mean, and then all
24:37
Speaker 4: of a sudden you got to worry about where the
24:39
Speaker 4: blitz is coming from. Now almost every time, that's.
24:41
Speaker 7: A lot, Yeah, it is.
24:43
Speaker 6: I feel like they've gotten better at that, even though
24:46
Speaker 6: maybe the numbers haven't shown it. I also, and again
24:50
Speaker 6: Bucky's thought on this because he's down there and he
24:52
Speaker 6: sees the operation more. I know fans may not necessarily
24:57
Speaker 6: agree with this because there's a lot of Trevor angst
24:59
Speaker 6: right now of the numbers but right now, when you
25:03
Speaker 6: tell me that a big deal is going to be
25:06
Speaker 6: whether or not Trevor gets him in the in and
25:08
Speaker 6: out of the right play, I think the work that
25:10
Speaker 6: they've put in taken the risk band off. I feel
25:13
Speaker 6: like he's pretty good there right now. I mean now,
25:16
Speaker 6: I think this will be the toughest test. But I
25:19
Speaker 6: think during the play I still sent some uneasiness. I
25:24
Speaker 6: don't know, it's hard to tell if he's like just
25:27
Speaker 6: not wanting to throw a pick, what't not going to
25:28
Speaker 6: make a big mistake.
25:30
Speaker 7: But pre play, I think.
25:33
Speaker 6: I have some confidence in him in the situation that
25:36
Speaker 6: you're talking about.
25:38
Speaker 5: So it's you know, like they've talked about Liam Cohen,
25:41
Speaker 5: Trevor Lawnce, You've talked about learning this new offense is
25:44
Speaker 5: like learning a foreign language. And so it's one thing
25:46
Speaker 5: to do it in the cozy confines of the classroom.
25:49
Speaker 5: It's another thing for me to drop you off in
25:50
Speaker 5: Spain and be like, all right, there you go, let's
25:53
Speaker 5: go get it right. So Trevor's trying to how to
25:56
Speaker 5: do it, how to do it all in real time,
25:59
Speaker 5: And I will say I am not discouraged by the
26:04
Speaker 5: arm and the passing game I'm encouraged by the way
26:08
Speaker 5: that he is managing the game at the line of scrimmage,
26:10
Speaker 5: the way that they're in and out the right calls.
26:12
Speaker 5: Part of the reason they're having so much success on
26:14
Speaker 5: the ground is because he's killing one play to put
26:16
Speaker 5: him in an optimal play with the audible. That's great
26:21
Speaker 5: against the blitz. We saw him. He nailed the blitz
26:23
Speaker 5: against the Texans when they needed to play. Brian Thomas
26:25
Speaker 5: Junior catches the pass and kind of seals the game.
26:29
Speaker 5: Those things are great. Now it's about putting it all together,
26:33
Speaker 5: not being frazzled or flustered by the pressure, but being
26:35
Speaker 5: able to calmly and cool to get the ball to
26:37
Speaker 5: the playmakers and allow them to go to work. The
26:40
Speaker 5: way the Chiefs play, it's going to be imperfect because
26:43
Speaker 5: it's so chaotic in terms of way they bring their pressure,
26:46
Speaker 5: the randomness that Steves Bagnulo operates.
26:49
Speaker 2: But if Trevor can get a bead.
26:51
Speaker 5: On what they're doing, and if they can cast the
26:53
Speaker 5: lottery tickets when they have those big play chances, man,
26:57
Speaker 5: the Jaguars have a great opportunity to knock off the
26:59
Speaker 5: Chiefs and really beat them in the way that they
27:02
Speaker 5: want to beat him by running the football and then finding.
27:04
Speaker 2: The explosive plays.
27:05
Speaker 5: Only the Kaffman replay actions on blitz alerts where they
27:08
Speaker 5: see the defense coming, can they attack?
27:10
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm with you.
27:12
Speaker 6: I think the guy with the name on the show
27:13
Speaker 6: summed it up just then. I mean, that's if he
27:18
Speaker 6: hit some big plays, like a big play in the
27:20
Speaker 6: running game, it was significantly got one going last week.
27:25
Speaker 6: I think the formula is there, and I think it's
27:28
Speaker 6: going to be about much like last week. I said
27:30
Speaker 6: they needed explosives to win. I don't think they can
27:32
Speaker 6: go back to what the first three weeks were, where
27:35
Speaker 6: the longest touchdown was eleven yards. I think they're going
27:39
Speaker 6: to need that break. Last week they got it with
27:42
Speaker 6: Travis and they got it with Parker. It still feels
27:45
Speaker 6: like they're close and they're getting it there. I mean,
27:49
Speaker 6: they're getting the situation to arise. I think Trevor hasn't
27:54
Speaker 6: quite seen it and hit it, but I've seen him
27:57
Speaker 6: do that before JP, so I'm not worried about that
28:00
Speaker 6: eventually happening. I kind of agree with Bucky that I
28:02
Speaker 6: think so much is going on pre snap that maybe
28:05
Speaker 6: he just hasn't gotten that instinctive comfort once it's snapped,
28:12
Speaker 6: and I just believe that's coming for him at some point,
28:14
Speaker 6: And it'd be nice if it was Monday.
28:16
Speaker 7: Certainly'd be a big moment for that to happen under.
28:18
Speaker 4: The lights, the Chiefs coming to town. We're back in
28:20
Speaker 4: a moment with the defensive coverage of the game. Plenty

Speaker 4: And this is Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks.
28:43
Speaker 9: My whole thing with Trevor has always been he's so
28:47
Speaker 9: ridiculously talented. I always wanted him to play quarterback almost
28:52
Speaker 9: like a boxer in the twelfth round of a heavyweight fight.
28:56
Speaker 2: You know, just come out and sway, you know.
28:59
Speaker 9: And obviously you play under control and you make good decisions,
29:03
Speaker 9: but just come out in attack mode. And I've always said, like,
29:07
Speaker 9: if you just watch him and when he throws the football,
29:10
Speaker 9: it's does his body like almost stay back or does
29:13
Speaker 9: he try to drive through every throw? And again I
29:15
Speaker 9: was say, in the past couple of weeks, it feels
29:18
Speaker 9: like everyone is this Haymaker that he's trying to land.
29:20
Speaker 9: I don't care if it's a twenty yard ball or
29:22
Speaker 9: a five yard ball, and so that's I'm very.
29:25
Speaker 2: Encouraged by that.
29:26
Speaker 9: I've always believed that Trevor's had this ridiculous talent and
29:29
Speaker 9: I just want everyone to I want him to just
29:32
Speaker 9: go go play to his capability.
29:35
Speaker 4: Dan Orlovsky ESPN caught up with him earlier today, the
29:38
Speaker 4: full conversation coming soon on Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube.
29:42

Speaker 4: for another fan Today, time for the defensive coverage of
30:04
Speaker 4: the game, presented by GEHA Government Employees Health Association Benefits
30:08
Speaker 4: for federal employees and retirees, and we take a look
30:10
Speaker 4: at the quarterback matchup this week. Defenses will have to
30:14
Speaker 4: plan for both of these guys. Of course, Patrick mahomes
30:17
Speaker 4: so far this year, closing in on a thousand yards
30:19
Speaker 4: to the first to four games, seven touchdowns, one pick.
30:23
Speaker 4: There have been some turnovers from Trevor Lawrence on the
30:25
Speaker 4: other side for interceptions so far this year, and in
30:29
Speaker 4: some key moments, some chances to score and just some
30:33
Speaker 4: poor decisions a.
30:34
Speaker 3: Couple of times.
30:35
Speaker 4: But Trevor Lawrence trying to figure some things out here
30:38
Speaker 4: and get this offense. Continue to build in this offense
30:41
Speaker 4: like we've just talked about. But when you see there
30:45
Speaker 4: were fifteen in red coming up on the other sideline,
30:47
Speaker 4: that opens your eyes certainly.
30:49
Speaker 6: Well, he's always going to get the check mark. I mean, so, look,
30:55
Speaker 6: we've gone over a little bit already. I think Trevor
30:59
Speaker 6: for the most part is getting him in out of
31:01
Speaker 6: plays that they want to. There has been some head
31:06
Speaker 6: scratching moments. But I think if you had told me
31:09
Speaker 6: before the season, Bucky, that in the first four games
31:12
Speaker 6: in a new offense, if it looked and I do
31:16
Speaker 6: believe this, the coaches are saying it, and I think
31:18
Speaker 6: you see it. It looks like he's grasping the offense,
31:22
Speaker 6: getting him in and out of it. If you had
31:24
Speaker 6: told me that the hiccups would be a couple of
31:27
Speaker 6: times a game makes a head scratcher, and he's just
31:31
Speaker 6: not feeling instinctive, you know, like a point guard who
31:35
Speaker 6: you know isn't quite seeing it once it's going on yet.
31:40
Speaker 6: But as he gets more comfortable he will. We don't
31:43
Speaker 6: know if he will. But if you had told me
31:47
Speaker 6: that that's what was going on, I wouldn't have been
31:50
Speaker 6: that surprised, and I would have liked the fact that
31:53
Speaker 6: he's grasping it.
31:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, he's a work in progress, and I
31:58
Speaker 5: think if we had a realistic expect going into the season,
32:02
Speaker 5: we wouldn't kind of want to see him like hit
32:08
Speaker 5: it right away. It tends to take a little longer
32:10
Speaker 5: for quarterbacks to see the game through the same eyes
32:13
Speaker 5: that the coach does. And as they're getting together and
32:16
Speaker 5: getting on the same page, not only with the verbiage
32:18
Speaker 5: and understanding the play designs, the concepts where the primary
32:21
Speaker 5: secondary and third and fourth freese are, it takes a while.
32:26
Speaker 5: And the chemistry with the pass catchers because remember there's
32:30
Speaker 5: a new set of pass catchers on the perimeter.
32:32
Speaker 2: We don't have Christian Kirk, we don't have Ingram, so
32:34
Speaker 2: there's still a lot of stuff in play.
32:36
Speaker 5: As Trevor gets more reps with this group, and as
32:39
Speaker 5: he has a better understanding of the passing game and
32:42
Speaker 5: all the ins and outs of it, the.
32:43
Speaker 2: Performance will improve.
32:45
Speaker 5: It's up to him, the coaches and everybody to maintain
32:48
Speaker 5: their confidence so that.
32:50
Speaker 2: They can get to the other side of it and
32:52
Speaker 2: we can finally see the.
32:53
Speaker 5: Explosiveness that look this team should have when it comes
32:56
Speaker 5: to the weapons that they have on the perimeter.
32:58
Speaker 7: I will say this to JP.
33:00
Speaker 6: A lot of the criticism that Trevor has gotten from
33:03
Speaker 6: people who write me, I think it's legit. You know,
33:06
Speaker 6: not dirting it in the red zone at the end
33:08
Speaker 6: of the first half. You know, you didn't want to.
33:12
Speaker 6: Last thing you wanted was a turnover there. So it
33:15
Speaker 6: was good that he didn't have the turnover, But then
33:17
Speaker 6: you could also get rid of it and a couple
33:19
Speaker 6: of the things missed and just and just sort of
33:21
Speaker 6: looking hesitant.
33:22
Speaker 7: But if you think.
33:23
Speaker 6: Back to how life works, as you get more comfortable
33:28
Speaker 6: with things, those are the things that feels like it
33:31
Speaker 6: should smooth out once you're not thinking about other things
33:36
Speaker 6: as much. I mean, it's it's you know, I guess
33:40
Speaker 6: that's what I pin the hope on that at some
33:43
Speaker 6: point you're going to start seeing progression of Okay, there's
33:47
Speaker 6: the guy breaking like they said there was he was
33:50
Speaker 6: going to break in the meeting, not thinking that, but
33:53
Speaker 6: just seeing it and going. And I kind of liked
33:55
Speaker 6: what Orlowski said. At some point, once he starts just
34:00
Speaker 6: relaxing and flinging it, getting a little more to that,
34:04
Speaker 6: then I think you'll see the hesitancy. Maybe that's not
34:07
Speaker 6: the right word, but I think we think, you know
34:08
Speaker 6: what I'm saying, sort of hesitancy and unsureness at times.
34:13
Speaker 6: I've got to think that goes away as you get
34:15
Speaker 6: more comfortable.
34:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, time on task. Yeah, well see how it develops.
34:20
Speaker 4: Moving ahead, let's come back in a moment. We'll get
34:22
Speaker 4: our final thoughts ahead of Monday night football. The Chiefs
34:25
Speaker 4: and the Jaguars. Chiefs have won the last eight meetings
34:29
Speaker 4: against the Jags, including that playoff.
34:31
Speaker 7: Well, they've been good and the Jaguars at.
34:33
Speaker 3: That's how it works.
34:36
Speaker 4: Two thousand and nine, the last Jags whatever. The Chiefs
34:38
Speaker 4: are trying to change that this Monday Night, and this
34:40
Speaker 4: is huddle up with Bucky Brooks. Welcome back and huddle
34:46
Speaker 4: up with Bucky Brooks. Brought to you by Field's Auto
34:48
Speaker 4: Group Jacksonville. See Fields First, Jacksonville's premier luxury autogroup. Go
34:52
Speaker 4: to Fieldsauto dot Com. Chiefs and the Jaguars coming up
34:56
Speaker 4: on Monday Night Football Week five eight to nine, all
35:00
Speaker 4: time on Monday Nights, trying to continue this hot start
35:04
Speaker 4: of the season. They're going up against one of the
35:06
Speaker 4: old time great coaching minds in football, Andy Reid. And
35:10
Speaker 4: yet you can see the Monday Night Football record. They
35:13
Speaker 4: were successful early because they were really good in the
35:15
Speaker 4: nineteen nineties, and then they've lost nine of the last
35:19
Speaker 4: twelve times they've been on there. There was also an
35:21
Speaker 4: eleven season stretch where they did not play on Monday
35:24
Speaker 4: Night Football again because of the issues around the organization.
35:29
Speaker 4: Weren't good enough to be on Monday Night. Now, of course,
35:32
Speaker 4: this week Andy Reid the fourth most wins in the
35:36
Speaker 4: history of the National Football League as a head coach,
35:39
Speaker 4: both playoffs and regular season combined. And obviously had started
35:44
Speaker 4: his career in Philly, as we all know, took them
35:46
Speaker 4: to a Super Bowl, did not win it. He's won
35:50
Speaker 4: his share in Kansas City. And what is it about
35:53
Speaker 4: Andy Reid's operation that stands out the most to you,
35:56
Speaker 4: Bucky Well.
35:57
Speaker 5: First things for us, I got to say this. Andy
36:00
Speaker 5: and I were together in Green Bay at the time.
36:02
Speaker 5: He was a tight ends coach. He was responsible for
36:04
Speaker 5: Scout team. I was a Scout team defender when I
36:07
Speaker 5: was there, and that happened right before I officially moved
36:09
Speaker 5: to dB and then came down to Jacksonville. What I
36:13
Speaker 5: would tell you is that he is a players coach,
36:16
Speaker 5: but he has demanding standards for effort, attitude, execution in
36:22
Speaker 5: those things.
36:23
Speaker 2: And he has a nice mix.
36:25
Speaker 5: Of an old school temperament with kind of new school
36:29
Speaker 5: sensibilities in terms of how to deal with today's player.
36:32
Speaker 5: That's why you can see him have these testy incidents
36:35
Speaker 5: with Travis Kelsey on the sideline, were they able to move.
36:37
Speaker 2: On beyond it.
36:39
Speaker 5: As a offensive mastermind, man, he's a wizard. What he
36:45
Speaker 5: does play call into creativity. What he's able to take
36:47
Speaker 5: from plays that he sees at any level, high school, college,
36:52
Speaker 5: youth football, he had taken try anything, and the team
36:56
Speaker 5: takes on his personality because look, he's a fun loving,
36:59
Speaker 5: jolly guy, but he's as tense as it comes when
37:01
Speaker 5: it comes to winning, and he's done a great job
37:04
Speaker 5: of developing quarterback you get quarterbacks, you give him any quarterback,
37:08
Speaker 5: he finds a way to put them in a situation
37:10
Speaker 5: to play to their strengths.
37:11
Speaker 2: He's just a great coach.
37:12
Speaker 5: And I can say this, I never expected him to
37:15
Speaker 5: be the kind of coach that he is because he
37:18
Speaker 5: broke the mold of going from being a play called
37:21
Speaker 5: to a head coach. He went from being a quarterback
37:24
Speaker 5: coach to a head coach with no play calling experience,
37:28
Speaker 5: and at the time when he got the job, I'd
37:30
Speaker 5: never seen that, and it just goes to show you
37:32
Speaker 5: that head coaches can come from anywhere.
37:34
Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be a traditional path.
37:37
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's funny. You know, he's won three games, so
37:40
Speaker 6: I'm not going to put him in this class. But
37:44
Speaker 6: when he started talking about Andy, it sounded a lot
37:48
Speaker 6: like how I'm thinking of Liam right now. I mean
37:52
Speaker 6: a player's coach, I think, but does an outstanding job.
37:56
Speaker 6: I've never been around Andy, so I don't know how
37:59
Speaker 6: he does it. But the state you can be a
38:04
Speaker 6: player's coach, but to have the demanding of standards, that's
38:09
Speaker 6: the mix you have to have. I think Liam's got that.
38:12
Speaker 6: I think That's the thing I've been most I don't
38:15
Speaker 6: say surprise, but most taken with and observing for the
38:19
Speaker 6: first four or five weeks. I knew he could call plays,
38:21
Speaker 6: you know, I didn't know because there's no way to
38:25
Speaker 6: know how he would deal with players as a first
38:29
Speaker 6: time head coach. Maybe in twenty five years you're talking about,
38:34
Speaker 6: you know, I mean it's I do think those traits though,
38:39
Speaker 6: lead to success, and I think Liam is showing the
38:43
Speaker 6: first signs of those trailer We're seeing the first signs
38:47
Speaker 6: of those traits start to manifest himself here.
38:50
Speaker 4: Excited to see that matchup, of course on Monday night.
38:53
Speaker 4: Tickets are available to going Fast Jaguars dot Com slash
38:57
Speaker 4: tickets nine oh four six three three two thousand.
39:00
Speaker 3: It should be an incredible scene here at the banking John.
39:02
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's uh, you know, it felt like this
39:07
Speaker 6: was gonna get going after twenty two, right, like this
39:10
Speaker 6: is sort of energy, and it didn't. And I'm not
39:13
Speaker 6: trying to compare things in the past. I just Bucky,
39:17
Speaker 6: there's something about the way they're playing right now that
39:21
Speaker 6: feels sustainable. I don't know, I mean, they're probably not
39:24
Speaker 6: going to reel off seventeen in a row or whatever
39:27
Speaker 6: that number.
39:28
Speaker 7: Here, right, But.
39:31
Speaker 6: They're playing in such a way, when Liam said the
39:35
Speaker 6: other day on his presser, and if you saw it, Bucky,
39:39
Speaker 6: they've only trailed eight or nine minutes this year. Even
39:42
Speaker 6: beyond that, they have been in control of games. They've
39:46
Speaker 6: been close, but they've had the lead, and they've been
39:49
Speaker 6: the team that is sort of dictating situations. When you're leading,
39:53
Speaker 6: you can play to your situation more, you can punt
39:55
Speaker 6: when you want to punt. Over four games when you're
40:00
Speaker 6: always the team in control. They even in control gets
40:03
Speaker 6: Cincinnati until the very end. When you're always in control
40:06
Speaker 6: of that, that's hard and I don't think that's a
40:10
Speaker 6: fluke no matter who you're playing that with the running game,
40:13
Speaker 6: the way they stop the run, the way they're being
40:16
Speaker 6: built again, I am more optimistic about this franchise than
40:21
Speaker 6: I've been since the day I walked back in the
40:23
Speaker 6: door in twenty eleven. And I think this is the
40:26
Speaker 6: first of many big games, big moments. They're gonna be
40:29
Speaker 6: really cool for fans to get on board with.
40:32
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the reason you feel that way and
40:35
Speaker 5: that everyone around the team feels a certain way is
40:38
Speaker 5: because it feels genuine and authentic. I think the interactions
40:42
Speaker 5: that we all have in the building with our co workers,
40:46
Speaker 5: with the coaching staff, with the people in the front.
40:48
Speaker 2: Office, it's real, that's genuine.
40:50
Speaker 5: There's great communication and dialogue, and there's a synergy that
40:53
Speaker 5: exists in the building. Then when you go and you
40:55
Speaker 5: look at the players and how they interact with each
40:58
Speaker 5: other on the field and how they're interacting with their coaches.
41:01
Speaker 2: On the field, that feels genuine.
41:03
Speaker 5: And then when you talk to them about the connectivity
41:06
Speaker 5: of the team, and I have Trayvon Walker saying, hey man,
41:09
Speaker 5: because we spend so much time outside the building together,
41:12
Speaker 5: whether that's bowling or going to the movies or eating
41:15
Speaker 5: dinner or whatever that is.
41:17
Speaker 2: This is a team that still.
41:19
Speaker 5: Has some of that throwback high school Friday night lights
41:23
Speaker 5: feel to it. And it sounds corny because we're having success,
41:28
Speaker 5: and so you're trying to kind of like quantify, but
41:30
Speaker 5: I'm telling you, the feel that I get from this
41:33
Speaker 5: team is very similar to a high school team trying
41:36
Speaker 5: to figure it out. And because they're really connected and
41:41
Speaker 5: because I would say the egos are in check, where
41:45
Speaker 5: no one really cares about who's getting the credit. It
41:48
Speaker 5: just has a feel that the culture, as everyone talks
41:51
Speaker 5: about the culture is being established the right way and
41:56
Speaker 5: it's gonna be sustainable because it's players holding place is
42:00
Speaker 5: accountable while also involving the coaches and players singing.
42:05
Speaker 2: I want to play hard because I believe in these coaches.
42:07
Speaker 5: That doesn't happen in pro sports often, and so that's
42:10
Speaker 5: why it feels different around the building.
42:12
Speaker 6: Yeah, and JP, all that stuff, Bucky said, I get
42:17
Speaker 6: that fans are sitting there listening to it and said, well,
42:19
Speaker 6: it's supposed to be that way. Yeah, it is, and
42:22
Speaker 6: most of the time it's not. So in fact, it
42:27
Speaker 6: really is.
42:28
Speaker 2: It really isn't.
42:29
Speaker 6: The guys running this thing and the leaders on this team,
42:32
Speaker 6: uh deserve a lot of credit for having that be
42:35
Speaker 6: the case this quickly with a leadership and direction change.
42:42
Speaker 6: I know fans are saying, wait, they're only three and one.
42:45
Speaker 6: I get that we got to talk about something, but
42:47
Speaker 6: this all feels real and UH credit soon.
42:49
Speaker 3: Let's keep it going, all right, Bucky, have a great week.
42:52
Speaker 4: We'll see you here on Monday night football under the lights.
42:57
Speaker 2: Have a good buss. If you find prime got toppy best,
