• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but this isn't This isn't a home.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: Game at Okay, this is over home games. You get
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: at home games, you get in at least.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: It's been so long since I've been to a home games.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: The last home game I went to was when I
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: played I can't remember.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: So this is me coming back. I'm excited about.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. That's what the Jags felt like
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: before last home game. It's been a while since the
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Jaguars had been at home, and they took advantage of
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: it with a big win over the Indianapolis Colts thirty
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: six nineteen Jaguars dominant on defense, three takeaways, the number
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: one run defense in the league. They were questioned all week,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: can they do it against Jonathan Taylor? Well, they did
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: it against Jonathan Taylor. Only seventy four yards rushing allowed
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: in the game, and of course on the offensive side.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence may not be the best statistical game, but
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: it might have been one of the most impactful games
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: in his regular season career. A deep connection in each
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: quarter of the game, and that's something this offense had
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: been lacking. And it's a step in the right direction.
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: John, Yeah, and Bucky all that you talk about this,
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: and I know you have some thoughts on it, but
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: I thought Trevor a lot of stories in the game,
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: but the story of Trevor the way he looked. Look,
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: I don't know how to define when a corner's turned.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: I don't know how to how to define levels. For Bucky,
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: I don't think you fake the way he looked in
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: the eye test that he passed the other day. In
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: terms of feel, confidence with the ball, calmness, knowing the
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: offense that presence. I think what we're seeing here in
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: the last couple of weeks is really significant.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, John, I look, I agree with you, and I
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: said this in writing the Scouts take, like I've never
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: been more impressed with Trevor. I felt like it was
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: the best performance that I've seen him have in a
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: Jaguars uniform. And I know the numbers don't necessarily reflect that,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: but if you were in the stadium, if you watch
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: the game, the feeling that you got watching Trevor Lawrence
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: was that of a franchise quarterback going to work. He
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: was terrific getting the ball to all of the playmakers.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: As Liam Cohen said in his presser, he made the
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: coast defend every blade of grass. And what we saw
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: was vertical shots, horizontal plays, spot routes, persist I mean,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: precise pinpoint passes. All the things that you expect to
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: see from a big time quarterback we saw. And it
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: wasn't until you really looked at the stash sheet that
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: you're like, oh, he didn't even complete sixty percent of
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: his passes and didn't have a three hundred yard day,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: but it felt like a much bigger game than his
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: dash revealed.
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I said this and it's not. I
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: don't say this as a knock on Trevor, because I
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: have always thought that he was bare minimum good and
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: the question was how good could he be? But there
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: have been times where you watched him and there and
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: there were moments where you went, who don't do that,
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: you know, hold your breath moments. And when you watched
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: him the other day, like I said this on Jagsam
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: on Monday, if you didn't know it was him, you
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: wouldn't have known it was him in that sense. There
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: were no like if it had been you know, Peyton
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: in his prime, or like any great quarterback, you would
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: have thought that's how that's supposed to look. And he
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: hasn't always had that kind of feel to him. For
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: the last two weeks. Again, that presence, that calmness, the
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: decision making. I just don't think you fake that. And again,
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: he's gonna throw picks, He's gonna have bad games in
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: the future, but it really does. The reason it's so
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: significant is all the other stuff we saw the other day.
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: We'd been seeing already, you know, the run defense, the scrap,
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: the ability to run not a great running day, but
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: to maintain control of the game with the run, all
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: those things they've already done. When you start, you know,
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: placing a franchise quarterback into that equation and BTJ making
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: plays downfield into that equation. Now, all of a sudden,
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: you go from what has been an efficient offense in
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: recent weeks to maybe being a great one.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: You know, it's funny you talked about efficient in terms
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: of everything like what we're seeing in this league. To
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: be a team that is a title contender, you have
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: to have a few components. You have to have a
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: dominant defense, you have to have a coaching staff that
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: certainly understands how to manage the game. And then the
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: final component is a franchise quarterback that can get you
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: out of jams. And what we're beginning to see are
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: all of those things being checked off. The defense is
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: dominant in a way that it turns the ball over,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: it stops to run, so they can make you play
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: on their terms. Offensively, Liam Cohn has done a really
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: good job of managing the game and getting all the
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: pieces involved. But the thing that you have to have
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: is a quarterback that can win a shootout with those
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: other quarterbacks. And as we look at how the playoffs.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Are shaping up.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: It's going to be a who's who of quarterback play
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: in the tournament and in the AFC in particular. You
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: have to feel confident that your quarterback can go toe
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: to toe against the other great quarterbacks that are gonna
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: be in the tournament. And I can feel this confidence
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: building not only with us on the outside, but the
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: way his teammates are responding to sixteen that they feel
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: like they have a special one at QB one.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, back to back games now over one hundred rating.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: He's had a three game streak of one hundred plus
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: rating games back in twenty twenty two. I actually had
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: five out of six in that stretch from the Jaguars
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: were turning the corner into December in that playoff run
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: that year. And even with that, quarterbacks with nine or
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: more wins over the last ten seasons, he's among the
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: bottom four in that time in passer rating eighty three
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: point three in this twenty twenty five campaign, and all
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: the rest of the bottom five are in the twenty
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: seventeen season, including Blake Bortles. Still some time for him
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: to kind of continue to improve week to week as
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: we move on down the stretch. One final thought here
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: on the defensive play last week. When the quarterback goes down,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: it changes everything clearly, But you know what, they still
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: did their job against the number one rushing attacking, number
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: one running back in the NFL and Jonathan Taylor. And
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of positive going on in this defense
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: Well, they'd already picked Daniel Jones once. I think the
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: game would have been closer had Daniel Jones been in,
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: But look, they were up twenty one to seven, they
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: were up fourteen to ten. That game felt like the
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: Jaguars were in control of it. They would have been
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: under more pressure and a more scoreboard pressure, which I
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: think Rya. Leonard been in being in gave you a
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: feeling that they were going to be able to maintain
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: that lead. It would have been tougher, but I thought
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: the job they did on Jonathan Taylor, it'd been easy
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: to say, well, you you had a lead, and when
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: you have a lead, it's easier to shut down a
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: running back. But the Colts stuck with Jonathan Taylor, and
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: at no point in that game, Bucky did Jonathan Taylor
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: and the Colts running game ever feel like it was
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: getting traction to be the factor in the game.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: I would agree with you.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: It always felt like he was under control from the jump,
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: and I'm gonna tell you, man, this game felt like
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: the Jags from the start, the level of dominance, the urgency,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: the turnover early in the game, then being able to
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: bottle up twenty eight. Whenever he had the ball in
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: his hands, they were running to the ball. They made
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: a concerted effort to get eleven hats to the ball
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: and they knocked it out. In fact, I would say
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: that this game was more difficult for them because of
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: all of the unknowns about the new quarterback coming in.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Riley Lennard comes in, and so you have to basically
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: take your game plan that you practice all week cast
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: that to the side while trying to figure out what
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: this new quarterback can do and how they're going to
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: operate with that. So it kind of forced us to
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: go back to a very vanilla script until you can
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: figure out how to contain Ridley Leonard and some of
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: the defensive players talked about that after the game in
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: terms of it was just weird and awkward trying to
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: get used to someone new. But nah, this felt like,
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: as the young people would say, This was a BTA
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: game a belt too, because I don't want to curse
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: on the thing, but it felt like about to ask him.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: If you bringing the he's home with his boys, he's language.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: It felt it felt like that from the jump, and
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: so I loved it.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: I love watching it, and I think there's a lot
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: of confidence that they will continue to gain from this
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: as they move into the final quarter of the season
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: where every game matters.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: Hey, Buck, you're at home? Is your mom okay? With
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: that kind of language?
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: I mean that so so you have to understand the deacon,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: my dad is front, and the choir lady is way
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: way up there, so they're far away from me. And
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: luckily I have the door closed so you can't hear
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: me utter a bad word. But yeah, I probably it
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: probably would have been a little BTA you know all
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: about it didn't represent I didn't represent the family very
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: very well and using some bad language.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Well, Jack should use another BTA game this week against
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: the New York Jets. We'll come back and preview the
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: matchup this week in week fifteen, the three and ten
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Jets coming to town to face the nine and four Jaguars,
• 12:28

• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Zip Chair Furniture for fans. It tuddle up with Bucky Brooks.
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean there's definitely means you take a look
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: at from from the past and with all three of
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: those quarterbacks that you have to be kind of prepared for.
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: So all three of them a little bit different in
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: their own way, but also from what they're trying to
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: do offensively coming from Detroit, you know, they want to
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: be able to run the football, be physical. So I
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: think that that's where it really starts for those guys
• 13:09
  Speaker 6: and whoever's playing quarterback. You know, we just got to
• 13:11
  Speaker 6: make sure that we're prepared for.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: That's a head coach of course, Liam Cohen earlier today
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: his Wednesday press conference. It's up on Jaguars dot com
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: and Jaguars YouTube. Welcome back. It is huddled up with
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks. JP Shadrick with John Ozer in Jacksonville, Bucky
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Brooks in the tar Heel State today his hometown of
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Raley as the Jaguars will welcome in the New York
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: Jets and they're not very good. Three and ten overall
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: but three and three over the last six and a
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: lot of that is due to the changes in the quarterback.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: They've had injuries obviously, now their third quarterback played yesterday
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: or last week. Justin Fields has been banged up. Tyrod
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Taylor got hurt in the game, Brady Cook played. I
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: don't think either Taylor or Field's practice today. So when
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: you have three quarterbacks, you don't really have a quarterback.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: And what's going on with the Jets on offense.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of bad ball and a lot of
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: bad ball stemming from the quarterback play. Whenever you have
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: inconsistent quarterback play, it's hard for your offense to kind
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: of maximize the explosives potential despite the weapons that they
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: have on the outside. You had injuries to Justin Fields
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: and poor play that led to his benching. Tyrod Taylor
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: gets in their shows flashes, but then he gets hurt
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: and now you're on the Brady Cook and undrafted free agent.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: He's trying to find his way in the league.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: When you have that, you're just not going to be
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: able to utilize all the weapons at your disposal. That
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: said dangerous team because they do have some playmakers breeze
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: halt is terrific. Gar Wilson was a former Offensive Rookie
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: of the Year. They have some playmakers, but the quarterback
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: is the issue. And if they have to play a
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: rookie quarterback, you have to think that they're gonna run
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: the football and be very simple in the passing game.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: That's it. You got to shut it off. You can't
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: let them get going gain confidence.
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there's different kinds of teams late in season. There's
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: the contenders. There's the teams that have basically quit on it.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: The Jets are not a team that's quit on it.
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: They have first year head coach, which is usually means
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: you're not going to quit on it because you know
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: your job is on the line in the last few
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: games and you know you want to be a part
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: of this. And I would assume from what I know
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: of Aaron Glenn, Jets players are probably still rallying behind
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: that without a quarterback, they're struggling. The record kind of
• 15:28
  Speaker 5: shows that they've won three the last six. They scored
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: twenty seven points in three of those games, but they're
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: against teams that are also struggling. They haven't really been
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: able to content. You know, have been able to play
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: well against good teams, which to me means exactly what
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: Bucky said. You make sure that those playmakers can't get
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: big plays, so you make them dry. They're probably gonna
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: make mistakes with the young quarterback, and you want to
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: get up on them in the first half so that
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: all of that, you know, I guess you know, schoolboys
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: enthusiasm goes away by halftime and you think, Okay, well
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: we tried, but they're a better team than us. It's okay,
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: We're gonna get on the plane and go home. Don't
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: have a couple of big plays early, Bucky that puts
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: you up fourteen to ten, and have them believe at
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: halftime they can win this because winning's cool. All people
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: want to do it. You want to make it hard
• 16:20
  Speaker 5: by halftime so that they don't think they can do it.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: If it's cool at halftime, then you play the second
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: half hard.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, look, I think this approach is very similar
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: to the approach that we have versus the Titans. I
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: think on this show we talked about it being very
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: similar to Tiger Woods having a three shot lead on Sunday.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Just knock down pars, do what you need to do
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: to get the win. You don't have to extend yourself.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: You don't have to be over aggressive. I think if
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: you're the Jaguars, it's a very simple approach due to
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: things that we do really well. Don't give them a
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: chance by doing silly stuff. Avoid the pre staffed penalties
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: and turnovers and that thing. Those things. If you do
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: those things well, they'll have a tough time generating enough
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: points to beat you at the bank. So to me,
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: this is an US game, has little to do with
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: the jests and what they what they bring when they.
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: Show up, and Bucky does a defensive coordinator sort of
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: take that approach a little more. You know, you've talked
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: about this style of play, eyes on the ball and
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: then break on the ball. Do you take that even more? Hey,
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: we have a rookie quarterback. If we make this team
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: turn in seven to ten play drives, they're gonna throws
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: the ball more than against a you know, do you
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: play more that way against a young guy and just say, hey,
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: do not let them have sixty yard plays?
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think there is something to taking a
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: more conservative approach, And I would use last game as
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: an example. Early in the game when Riley Live was in.
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: We tried to heat them up a little bit. We
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: brought some pressure, and we gave up some plays early
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: and let them kind of flip the field. I think
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: they scored field goals on back to back possessions with them,
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: and then the second half we were like, hey, let's
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: just make them drive the length of the field, don't
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: get out of pocket, make them string together a series
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: of completions, and let's see if he can be consistent
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: enough to do it. The approach would be similar with
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Brady Cook. We have to think with the Jets, they
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: want to run the football, they're gonna try to protect
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: them by.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: Doing these simple concepts.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: In those things, you can anticipate what those are, and
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: you just stay disciplined, be on the details, and make
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: this guy beat you, because over time, the odds will
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: tell you that he's not going to be able.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: To make enough plays over four quarters to beat you.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: It's hudled up with Bucky Brooks. Let's take a look
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: now at the New York Jets defense, and they are
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: on pace for the fewest total takeaways in a season
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: in the NFL since at least nineteen forty one. Only
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: two takeaways for the season no interceptions this year, it
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: would be the fewest interceptions since first track to nineteen
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: thirty two. The next lowest is two and twenty eighteen.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: The forty nine Ers the old Saint Louis Gunners in
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: nineteen thirty four had three interceptions, along with the Oilers
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: in eighty two in Texans in twenty twenty, so this
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: is an epic pace of no takeaways for the defense.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: They've made trade deadline moves to get rid of some
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: big name players Sauce Gardner to the Colts, Quinnin Williams
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: to the Cowboys, of course, to acquire high draft capital
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: for a future build. So what's left in the Jets defense?
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: This reminds me of watching our defense last year where
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: we couldn't generate takeaways. And part of it is not
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: by design, but it is by the weight that you play.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: They are team that likes to play a lot of
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: man match coverage, so their man demand, their.
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: Eyes are on their work as opposed on the quarterback.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Normally, when you play that much man deaman or manlike concepts,
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: you're going to have more breakaways than intercept mean breakups
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: to interceptions just because you just don't see the ball enough.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Like we're talking about visiting break where you're looking at
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: the quarterback. They're not looking at the quarterback, so the
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: late reactions tend to lead to deflections as opposed to interceptions.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: That said, if they generate pressure, if they're able to
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: get enough people around the quarterback, they can create some turnovers.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: They just haven't been able to do it consistently enough.
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: I hope they find a way to turn it around
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: after they play US. Let them chase that record of futility.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: I just don't want to see them have a good
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: game against US.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, zero interceptions through thirteen games is stunning.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Absolutely unbelievable.
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: They clearly Turvor Lawrence on the podium today, there's no
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: doubt it's true. They clearly have had opportunities. When you
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: have zero thir thirteen games, you've had a couple of
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: bad breaks. You haven't been able to hold it. But
• 20:46
  Speaker 5: you know that would be They always say every record
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: could be broken. That record would not be broken, and
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: because you would never have negative.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: It's hard to have negatives, right.
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: But it's, uh, we've seen this before and I kind
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: of joke about that with empathy because in the last
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: seven or eight years, the Jaguars have had two seasons
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: where they've had fewer than ten takeaways, and that's up
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: there in the top ten worst of all time. Only
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: two takeaways. Is you cross your fingers because they must
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: be due, right, because that's really low. That's it's all
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: times my dad used to say about stuff. You almost
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: have to work to do that.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: It's all time low. I mean, that's what we're dealing
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: with here. One final thought on the Jets, and you
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: know what, Bucky, they do have some special teams bite
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: to them. A couple of punt return touchdowns this year
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: for Isaya. Williams Wongu, the kick returner, has one to
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: the house this year. So and the guys we're talking
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: about it today, Liam Cohen especially, Hey, this is a
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: special team. That's one of the things John that you
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: know what, Hey, things aren't going well whatever, and then
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: they can have a spark in a heartbeat with a
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: punt return.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: You don't let him go out, Nah, don't let them
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: get out. And these are the things that you talk
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: about when you're facing team, because let's be honest, Liam
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: has to stand in front of the team and talk
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: about this team has only won three games, but do
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: not sleep on them. And the way that they can
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: beat us is if we give them opportunities a big return,
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: a block punt, something on the third phase that gets
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: them jacked up, that gives them easy points. Then we
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: mess around and turn it over on offense, and before
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: you know it, you're now in a fourth quarter battle
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: that you have to figure out how to win it
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: in the end. Because of that, you want to make
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: sure that everyone's antenna is up, their focus is ready
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: during the practice week so they can take care of
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: this team. Special teams are gonna be a big part
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: of it. You got to think with the Jets coming
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: in with a ricky quarterback, they go have some tricks
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: and some funny stuff on the docket. Whether it's a
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: surprise onside, well you can't really surprise onside like you
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: used to, but whether it's a fake punt, whether it's
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: a trick play on a return or something like that,
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: you have toticipate that this team is going to try
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: and do some gimmicky gadgety stuff to try and create
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: some opportunities for them.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: To score some yolo moments. You're saying, yeah, I guess yeah,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: use that right, I not, you only live once, might
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: as well use it.
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: I don't know, Just just let Bucky. Just let Bucky
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: handle forgot who showed this is by catchphrases around here?
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: All right, fellow kids, will be back in just a
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: moment with more on this Jaguars defense. They've done well,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: and of course the Jests Jaguars game was presented by Geico.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: It feels good to Geico and this is huddle up
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: with Bucky Brooks.
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: But like I've just always heard from you know, college,
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: to early on coaching at the IVY and the IVY League,
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: to the c A to the SEC to the NFL,
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: was like, when you're struggling, just you got to go
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: back to fundamentals and basics and technique and doing the
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: things that they that you know are going to be
• 24:09
  Speaker 6: pillars of your you know, fundamental of your foundation of
• 24:14
  Speaker 6: what you believe in, what you want it to be.
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: But also look at, okay, what is too much for
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: these guys to handle and what allows them to go
• 24:24
  Speaker 6: and just play fast? Because that's what it really is
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: about me. There's so many plays, there's so many routes,
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: there's so many coverages and blitzes and stuff that you
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: can do and you maybe want to do and your
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: players can can.
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: Do it all.
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: Well, that's great, but that sometimes takes time, said.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Coach of course, Liam Cohen earlier today discussing the Jaguars
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: defense at the bye week and coordinator Anthony Campanelli kind
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: of bringing her down to the studs and revamping some
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: things a little bit. And it has shown the stretcher
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: onn welcome back, a tuddle up with Bucky brook j
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: P Shadwick on and yes, Bucky Brooks. The Jaguars and
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: the Jets coming up this Sunday at EverBank Stadium, Week fifteen.
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: The Jaguars the number three seed currently in the AFC
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: playoff race. We'll get to that coming up and all
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: the impossibilities moving ahead with four games to go since
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: that bye week, as we take a look at the
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: defensive coverage of the game presented by GEH Government Employees
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Health Association Benefits for Federal employees and retirees. With the
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Jaguars defense, of course number one in the league against
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: the run for the entire season eighty three yards per game,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: they have the second most takeaways now with three more
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: last week, up to twenty three for the season. They
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: fared pretty well overall on defense, eleventh in the league.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Since the bye week, Josh heinz Allen has six and
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: a half of his seven sacks and at least one
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: sack and five of the six games since the bye week.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: It's just one example of a lot of things that
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: have changed for this defense. The most to you, Bucky,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: since to buy.
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: Just exactly what Liam Cohen has talked about since the
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: bye being able to dig down deep, simplify everything so
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: the guys can play fast. It is very clear that
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: they're playing fast and there's a better understanding of what
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: they're being asked to do, and we've seen more plays
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: from that unit as a result. It is natural for
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: a coordinator a play caller on offense or defense that
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: when you're having success, you want to keep adding to it.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: You think, okay, well we did displitch. We can just
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: layer it with displitz and add more to it. And
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: what you can do is overwhelm your players. And so
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: when you get to the bye week and you.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: Break it down, you.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: Get back to the basics, you discover that simplicity can
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: really unlock a lot of playmaking for your guys.
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: We had to do it out of necessity.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Because there was a stress that we were playing with
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: so many young guys in the secondary. And I think
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: what we discovered or rediscovered is man, when we play
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: simple and everyone knows what they're doing, we have enough
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: talent to overwhelm people. Why don't we just stick to
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: that approach? And has been very very successful for us.
• 27:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think too after the Houston game, they
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: just they really got on the front seven about look
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: rush as a as a group stayed true to the
• 27:16
  Speaker 5: plan and Josh heinz Allen, who all season had gotten
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: good pressure, has really benefited I think from the entire
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: unit rushing well until the bye, Bucky, you know, the
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: pass rush was a liability. I don't know right now
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: that it's what I would call a great pass rush.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: I mean, I've covered and seen great pass rushes when
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: I was in Indie and twenty seventeen. I don't know
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: if it's that. But when you're leading, which the Jaguars
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: have been, doesn't it feel with this group now that
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: when they have a lead, they're going to get enough
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: pressure most plays to make the offense uncomfortable enough where
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: long drives are going to be hard. And I think
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: that's what you need from a pass rush if you're
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: going to be a good team.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it goes back to the conflimentary ball, right.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: So we talked about the importance of being able to
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: rely on the offense, defense and special teams playing together
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: to get wins. Well, one of the things that we
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: were doing successfully early in the year we were jumping
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: out the leads. We're running the football, and we were
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: forcing teams to throw against a defense that knew the
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: opponent had to chase points.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: So that allows the pass rush to go. That allows
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: the cover guys to sit back.
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: And really dial into the quarterback because you have them
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: in long yarded or obvious passing downs.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: Then we hit a lull.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: Well, now we're back to that, and one of the
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: reasons why the pass rush has been able to heat
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: up is because we're stopping to run on early downs.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: When you have the number one rush defense.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: Now you get into a lot of second and eight,
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: third and six, third and seven plus those are obvious
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: passing situations, so Josh Allen can ignore the run because
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: he's hunting the quarterback. A lot of it is beginning
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: to play together in terms of winning early downs to
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: set yourself up for success in later downs. So, yeah,
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: the pass rush is more successful or we've seen an
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: uptick in that, but a lot of it is due
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: to our ability to win on first down and stop
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: the run.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: I forget which one told me this in India. It
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: was either Mathis or Freeiny and I may be remembering
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: it bad, but said nobody. No pass rusher gets a
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: second contract on third and two. I mean, you know,
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: and I forget exactly, but it's really what it is.
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: I mean, guys do not make a living rushing the
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: passer on second and three. I mean, it's it's passing situations.
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: It's late game, it's late half. And I think that's
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: one of the most misunderstood things when people try to
• 29:48
  Speaker 5: analyze pass rushers. You know, unless maybe Miles Garrett is
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: an exception, but most of these guys, you know, do
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: not get their sacks on first, inten and second and three,
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: third and one. It's got to be situational, and they
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: are putting themselves in situations now where they can rush
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: the pass.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Great to see for the Jaguars defense, and we'll see
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: if they can get it done again this week against
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: the New York Jets and downstretch four games to go,
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: or turn with a look at the AFC playoff race.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: The Jaguar is currently the number three seed in that race.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: We'll look at some scenarios when we come back. It's
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: huddle up with Bucky Brooks.
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: I think it reflects the way, you know, we've played,
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: the way I've played, especially the last few weeks as
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: an offense, we've played a lot better, and I think
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: that's showing just about to getting more comfortable, more confident,
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: our group coming together more and more. You know, it
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: takes some time, especially on offense sometimes to really get
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: that rhythm and continuity between the whole group, especially you
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: get a lot of guys in and out with injuries
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: and a lot of new guys coming in, and you know,
• 30:52
  Speaker 7: we've had some changes and the guys have handled it
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: really well, and I really feel like we're in a
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: spot now where we're playing a lot more consistent, playing well.
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: I think we all feel really confident out there, including myself,
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: and that's definitely grown throughout the season and just getting
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: more comfortable with our group and with our system.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: That is the quarterback of course. Trevor Lawrence. The full
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: press conference at Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube and
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: welcome back. Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks. Brought to you
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: by Field's Autogroup Jacksonville. See Fields First, Jacksonville's premier luxury autogroup.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: Go to Fieldsauto dot com. By the way, Trevor Lawrence
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: on the injury report this week with an ankle issue
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: limited on Wednesday. They wear baseball hats on Wednesday practices
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: around here, and they really amp it up on Thursday.
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: We'll see how that goes moving ahead. Long list for
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: the Jets as well, So there you go. That's the quarterback.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: And now the Jaguars, of course number one in the
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: AFC South. As you look at the AFC playoff race,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: the Jaguars currently the number three seed and the AFC
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: playoffs if it ended today, Broncos won, Patriots two, both
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: teams eleven and two. Steelers seven and six lead that division.
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: The Chargers got a big win the other night, nine
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: and four. The Bills are a problem for everybody, So
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: at the Texans on defense, and then in the hunt
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: the Colts. They just signed Philip Rivers in the practice
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: squad today. They've got some big issues. Ravens the Chiefs
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: are behind the eight ball, and the Dolphins have trended
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: well lately. So all right, Jets this week and then
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: next week the big trip out to Denver for what
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: could be a monumental game. I think the Broncos have
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: the Packers this week as well. So, I mean, this
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: is obviously you got to handle your own business, John,
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: but there's a lots too out there for this team.
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you're still at the point where the best thing
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: to do if you're the Jaguars is to close your
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: eyes and keep playing. And because everything you know, if
• 32:46
  Speaker 5: you do that, control everything else. And I get that's
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: a cliche, but there's so much going on that if
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: you sit there and you say, well, they can get
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: you know, there's an easy scenario where they get the Broncos.
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: Packers are really good. Yeah, and you go beat then
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: because now you're ahead of them.
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: The Patriots play the Bills. They have somebody else the
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: next week who's tough. I forget, you know, but they're
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: all tough. I mean. And with four games to go
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: in this league.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Bill's Ravens, Jets, Dolphins for the for the Patriots.
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So, and the Dolphins are playing with four games
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: to go in this league. One of those teams in
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: the top or i'd say one, two or three of
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: those teams in the top five of that graphic are
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: going to have a game they lose where everybody goes, oh,
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: how could they lose that?
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: You know, so.
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: Keep playing nobody is and it could be the Jags, right,
• 33:42
  Speaker 5: I mean, keep playing nobody is for you know.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: M hmm.
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: Here's my peeve JP pet pee it's only one is uh.
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: Graphics that say somebody's percentage chance to make the playoffs
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: with you, Oh, they have a ninety three percent chance
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: to make the playoffs. Yeah, if they win, and if
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: they don't win, they have no chance to make the playoffs. So,
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's I think it's the silliest graphic, all
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: that stuff about the Patriots have this percentage chance the
• 34:18
  Speaker 5: wrongs maybe in the last game, maybe the last two games.
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: You can get down to that. You're still playing football.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: It's still the NFL. Three or four of those teams
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: are gonna have weird losses. One of those teams might collapse.
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: I mean, so we saw it here. What were the
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: percentage chants in twenty three They're gonna make the playoffs
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: at eight and three ninety five. Well, you know what
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: the percentage chances were when they started losing games, None
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: because they didn't make it. So get that out of here, Bucky.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: I love, by the way, I love the oppression of
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: people who say, why did you lose that one? You
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: know that impression?
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: You sound just like him, John, all right, I'm calming down.
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: Ready to him.
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: Embrace everything and say that there's a chance we can
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: be the number one seed going into the tournament. I'm
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: just looking at schedules and just looking at the Broncos,
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: who have the Packers us then they play the Chiefs
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: and the Chargers, like that's a tough slate for them
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: to finish. I'm looking at the Buffalo Bills, and yeah,
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: it eases up for them they play. I mean, I'm
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: looking at the Patriots, they play the Buffalo Bills, they
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: play the Baltimore Ravens. They have the Jets and the Dolphins.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: But you know, division play, there's there's an opportunity that
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: you may be able to take a week off when
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: we get into the postseason. Everyone may be able to
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: take a week off, enjoy the Saturday, do something else.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: And we're not participating in wildcard weekend. I want to
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: hold on to that and think that we're going to
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: do what we need to do to get the number
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: one seed because we're gonna win them all at the
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: stretch and then we're gonna be chilling on walk our.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Weekend and then for us, the only way to do
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: that is to win them. Yeah, the other cards fallwhere.
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: They keep winning that you don't have to worry about
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: the Texans catching if you keep winning, you know you
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: can you might be hosting you keep And I don't
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: think Bucky, you're around this team on game day more
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: than us because we're in you know, you know, you're
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: in the locker room and I'm you know, up in
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: my seat in the press box where I'm dry.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: But.
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: We're around it during the week and you talk to people.
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: I don't have any thought that this team is going
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: to be anything but motivated and focused because they haven't
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: done anything yet. It's still new to them. They're still hungry.
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: Maybe the respect thing comes in a little bit and
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: all that, but you know, kidding, aside about the respect thing,
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: you do get an overall feeling about this team of
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: you know, we just want to keep showing people we're good.
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: People don't realize yet, So I don't think it's good.
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: I think it's conceivable this team could win three of
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: four down the stretch, or possibly even four, get to
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: twelve and five, and maybe even thirteen and four. I mean,
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: I think with the way this team is focused now,
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: all of a sudden, you got guys getting healthy, I
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: do think it's possible for this to be special.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there is a real possibility that this could be
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: a very special year. And part of the reason is
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: because I've seen a change in the way the team
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: approaches each and every week. A lot of times you
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: hear coaches do what they do. They talking coach speak
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: and cliches and those things they talk about. Oh man,
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: I'm so focused. I can only think about today. I
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: can't even think about what I'm i have for dinner tonight.
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: I'm so focused on the next practice. It's the most
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: important practice we're now I'm beginning to hear the players
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: utter those similar sentiments about just being dowt in, focused
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: on going, want to oh this week, can't get to
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: Thursday practice without focusing on Wednesday, et cetera, et cetera,
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: et cetera. So they're all in drinking the kool aid.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: And that's great because when they're bought in, that means
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: they're going to be more likely to play to the
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: level that Liam Korn wants them to play. That said,
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: as long as they stay focused the way they've been
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: focused and not really worry about the disrespect that may
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: or may not been coming their way, some of the
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: manufactured slights that they've had, just focus on being really
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: good at improving each week.
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: This team legitimately.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: Has a chance, and I'm excited because you can see
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: it coming together as the pieces of the puzzle will
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: come back, the main players come back and all that
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: Jaguars are sitting in a great spot right now.
• 38:13
  Speaker 5: I think they're at the point now with the respect
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: thing JP, where if they can't find anything, William's gonna
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: find some AI to make some sense.
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: Yet is going to be busier.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: They make it up. They make it up.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: There's something, there's something that they will say and they
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: will just put it up there, and yeah, it could
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: be an AI creative thing, but yeah, a lot of
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: disrespect out there.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: Everything.
• 38:33
  Speaker 5: Well, I think it's really interesting JP, and I know
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: we're about to close it. All the disrespect stuff, all
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: of the focus. You can't make up what you're seeing.
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: And for the last five or six weeks, yes, they
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: lost to the Texans, but except for one quarter out
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: of six weeks, this is a team that's getting progressively better,
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: progressively healthier. Every you know, the wide receivers are playing
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: more consistently. Brenton Strange back, that's area. Yeah, that area
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: is playing more consistently. They're not running for fifty yards
• 39:10
  Speaker 5: a game, but they're running when they want to run.
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: They're staying in control. You can't look at this team
• 39:15
  Speaker 5: in the last six weeks and say that it is
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: not an improving football team significantly improving in critical areas.
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: The past rush is getting better, they're stopping the run already.
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: That it's hard to improve during the season. To the
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: extent that this team has improved over the last six weeks,
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: it's really impressive that they've been able to keep this together,
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: keep it focused. Even the good teams we've covered here
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: JP and not many of them, seventeen didn't really you know,
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: get dramatically better in a lot of spots out of
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: the course season. They stayed really good at what they did.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Blake got hot in December.
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: Yes, twenty two. They kind of came out of nowhere,
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: but they didn't feel solid like this.
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: They were coming back and from behind, and.
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: This is a team that feels like it's gone. It's
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: always been good. This team has beaten a lot of
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: good teams all year, but the only teams that have
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: beaten them since Week two are the Seahawks, the Rams,
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: and the Texans. I could argue those are five of
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: the top You're three of the top five or six
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: teams in the league right now. You have to be
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: really good to beat this team right now.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say that you look at who we played,
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: how we played.
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: The only dud game that I.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: Would say would be the Cincinnati Bengals in terms of
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: a team that we lost to that we should have
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: beaten because that was a game that we had under control.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: The Houston Texans.
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: That loss as an anomaly, but I think it speaks
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: volumes that we were up twenty nine to ten on
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: that team. I know they were playing with a backup quarterback,
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: Davis Mills and those things, but.
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: They're still we were up twenty nine to ten on
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: that team.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: So there's some confidence if we have to face that
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: team all over again. Yeah, But the record, the film,
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: everything would suggest that this is a really, really good
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: football team. And I would say our history kind of
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: has us not wanting to fully believe that this team
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: is good. But all indicators are all there to say
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: and no, no, this is a really good team that has
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: a chance to do some special stuff.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: Bucky. Always a pleasure. Enjoy Raleigh and right, you want
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: a good health flud spot, go to a big EDS

  Speaker 3: probably has all kinds of stuff.
