• 1:51
  Speaker 6: That's right. No, I had on a Jaguars thing last week.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: No, he's I don't think you did.
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: Nowtors here and put the Jaguars in.
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: I did.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: I had on some Jaguars up last time. I mean
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: I were for three years Award all the time. We're
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: getting that head beat in.
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: So I'm like, all right, I'm trying to bring it back.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Okay, not a bandwagon guy, Bucky.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: Here's how big this game is that there's not even
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: anything about Week eighteen in the rundown.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Nope, doesn't matter. Okay, Well, it's all the review.
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: It's all the review.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: It's a new season now, John, this is the next
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: next level of football, and we're going to dig in,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: certainly into this matchup all the way through it. The
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Jaguars in the three seed, of course, in the AFC Playoffs,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: hosting the sixth seed Bills. JAG's back of the playoffs
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: first time since twenty twenty two, their fifth division title
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: in franchise history. Bill's making their seventh straight playoff appearance.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: They've been knocked out of the playoffs by the Kansas
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: City Chiefs. Talking to some people in Buffalo to day,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: I was on one of their shows. I mean they
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: feel like since Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are out
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: of this thing, they at least feel from there it's like, oh,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: this is now the opportunity. The road is wide open,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Josh Allen, because the Chiefs have knocked him out for
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: the last five years in the playoffs.
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's wide open for them. I would say
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: it's wide open for everybody. I mean, so I understand
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: how they feel that way, and maybe it is that
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: way for him, But you know, I don't know that
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: I really consider Buffalo Bucky the favorite going into the postseason,
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: and I know they're favorite in this game, but I
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: kind of like what Belichick said about it. You know,
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: the Bills maybe have an edge at the end of
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: games because of their playoff experience, but you got to
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: get to the end of those games. I doubt anybody
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: inside the Buffalo organization is sort of assuming that this
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: is their shot. I don't think they've had that kind
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: of year to feel that way, although they're really really good.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, look, here's my thing with Buffalo,
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: and I've seen this and I've heard this, and I've
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: tried not to be annoyed by the conversation everyone has
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: talked about this being the Bill's year.
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: The path is open for Josh Allen.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: Josh Allen has a tremendous amount of pressure on him
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: because no Pat Mahomes, no Joe Burrow, no Lamar Jackson.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: He is viewed as the best quarterback in the field,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: and the best quarterback should be able to roll through
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: the playoff field and make it happen. I will say
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: that of all the teams that he's come through the
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: postseason with, this is probably the team that is the
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: least talented when it comes to the number of blue
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: chip players that he has around him and how they're playing.
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: That's it. They play really good team football.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: They have always been a team where the team probably
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: makes up for more than the sum of its individual parts.
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: But one the fact that they're favored, to the fact
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: that people kind of expect them to walk over the Jacks.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: It's a bit laughable, even though I remember how badly
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: they issued a beat down on us last last year
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: on a Monday night when.
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: We had the venture up there and they absolutely tourist part.
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, somebody asked me in the ozone about that game,
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: and you know, I don't know that. There's a whole
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: lot of different So what's the difference in that game.
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: What's the difference in this Bill's team from that team?
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: Probably not much.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: I mean, they have Josh Allen, But the difference between
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: this Jaguars team and that team and it was. It
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: was a thirty seven point game. I'd say this Jaguars
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: team is thirty seven points better than that Jaguars team.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: I mean, especially the one that showed up that night,
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: and that was a fiasco. I think Liam Cohen's uh
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: comment on Monday, when asked if a look at that game,
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: he goes, no, No, I mean it's it so has
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: nothing to do with this team. Uh. But yes, Josh
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: Allen is the best quarterback in the playoffs going and
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: the most experienced quarterback. That's a statement that should be made.
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: But I'm telling you, Bucky, the fact that it's not
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: a given and the fact that I'm anxious to see
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: if he's the best quarterback.
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: In this game.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: Is enough to make me think the Jaguars might go
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: to the super Bowl. Meaning I don't know that after
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: this playoffs if it's going to be a guarantee that
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: he's the best quarterback in the playoffs, because I think
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: Trevor's accelerating that quickly.
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he is accelerating that quickly. I am.
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: I am with you, and I've said this.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: I think I'm records saying that I feel like the
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Jacks are going to the Bowl, But I'm trying not
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: to look too far in advance.
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: I will say this about last year's game, and one of.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: The things that you have to be careful of as
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: a player, particularly if you're a player for the Buffalo Bills,
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: because of the way that the Buffalo Bills beat down
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: the Jaguars on that Monday Night. You can get seduced
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: into thinking that, yeah, it's the same old Jags. We
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: know who this team is like, same players, same quarterback.
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: YadA, YadA, YadA, YadA, and you.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: Can build up a level of overconfidence that allows you
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: to fall into this shock and awe when it takes
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: place on Sunday against a very different version of the Jags.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: But I think they will be a very confident team
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: coming down, and I think some of that confidence will
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: come from that Monday night mascret that they experienced when
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: they just absolutely beat us from pillar to post.
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you hear the Jaguars.
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: You hope they feel that way that the Bills do
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: the Jags. You hope the Bills feel that way.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: But I mean clearly though, you turn on the tape
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: of this Jags team, which they will do and thoroughly,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: you will find out fast that this is not.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: The same, but sometimes is an element of when a
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: team's done at the first time and you still sort
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: of feel it from some national stuff and all that
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: of hey, they just got here, and when you just
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: get here, you can't possibly be as good as the
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: team that's been here a bunch.
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: Yeah, well see, yeah there is JP. I know, like
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: you're like, nah, but they look at the tape whatever.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: But JP, there's a bit of this arrogance that you
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: can have, and I will break it down the terms
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: that you can explain it. It was very much like
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: the conversation last week when Indiana was playing Alabama, and
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: even though your eyes could tell you that Indiana is good,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: all the Alabama people are like, oh, we go experience.
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, then here we've done it.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: And until you get into that game, you don't have
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: the right appreciation of the right mentality against the team.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: I think Sean McDermott and listening to his pressers this week,
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: he understands how good it is, but I can't he
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: get his team to understand it when all the noise
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: around him in the town is like, hey, this is
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Josh Allen's coordination to be a Super Bowl champion. It
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: can be hard to keep the locker room insulated from
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: that kind of conversation on the outside.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: Very very interesting, and I hadn't really thought about that
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: angle that much. And I think it's because again, it's
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: the postseason, and I've looked at this postseason for a
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: couple of weeks as New England, Denver, Jacksonville, Buffalo, even
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: Los Angeles, you know Chargers, even I've had people say,
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: do you think the Daggars would be ready? You know,
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: are they're ready for the moment?
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: I think they're ready for the moment, and they'll play well.
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: I don't know if they'll win because Buffalo is really
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: good and Josh Allen's really scary. Denver's really good. But
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: for the last five or six weeks ever since they
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: started playing, if you watch the Jaguars, there's zero question
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: they belong in the conversation. I personally think if if
• 9:59
  Speaker 5: you look at objectively, take uniforms off, whatever, they're the
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: best team going into the playoffs. You know Denver, and
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: I mean they beat Denver. The Patriots and the Bills
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: have not played the schedule that the Jaguars have, So
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: if you look at it with how Trevor's playing. With
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: the way the Javers have been beating teams down the stretch,
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: they deserve to be in that conversation. I think gonna
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: pay for there, the favorite. They have to prove that.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: All right, let's dark back.
• 10:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they gotta gotta prove it.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Gotta go prove it. You gotta goss why they play
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: the games. That's why I play the games exactly. And
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: we're gonna get into the game when we come back.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: We'll take a closer look at the Buffalo Bills the
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: number sixteed coming into town for the AFC Wild Card
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: playoff game.

  Speaker 3: It's huddle up with Bucky Brooks.
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: The ultimate strain is what it is, right, because you're
• 11:09
  Speaker 8: you're dual three. You have to defend the run in
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: the past every time the ball is snapped right. It's
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: not as if you can just tee off on a
• 11:17
  Speaker 8: guy like that, knowing man really can't really move, you know,
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: so you can just go play to man or go
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: do these things. You have to your rush plan has
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: to be extremely dialed in. Your spy game has to
• 11:30
  Speaker 8: be dialed in if you're going to do any of
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: that stuff. Your zone coverage has got to make sure
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: that you're giving eyes obviously on the quarterback.
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: At all times.
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: And look, when you have to account for the quarterback
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: every play, you know, we have it a luxury of
• 11:45
  Speaker 8: that as well. In ways where quarterback can take off
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: on you. It's it's hard to defend every blade of grass.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Liam Cohen, Jaguars head coach. Earlier today full press conference
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: at Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube. Welcome back, Cuddle
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: up with Bucky Brooks talking about Josh Allen.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the quarterback for the Buffalo Bills.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Fantastic season again, a bunch of rusting touchdowns, the highest
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: rushing yards total of any quarterback in the league this year,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: and about thirty six hundred yards passing and can do
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: it all. And when he turns it on, it is
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: a real problem. We're going to dig into the Bills
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: here coming up. We'll take a look a deeper look
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: at the Jaguars defensive matchup. But Bucky, Josh Allen, when
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: he flips that switch and does things like this, he
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: can change the game in a hurry.
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely can change the game. Man.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: He's one of those guys we talked about quarterbacks being
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: in two categories, trucks and trailers. He is an absolute
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: truck because he can put the team in the back
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: and he can carry them as far as they.
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: Want to go.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: I've never heard that before. Oh, at this point, you're
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: just making stuff.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, I'm.
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: Sorry, I'm sorry. So quarterbacks come in two categories.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: They come in trucks where the quarterback carries the team,
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: or their trailers where the team carries the quarterback. And
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: Josh Allen is a truck because he's carrying this team.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: When you look at the rest of the pieces around him,
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: there are only two other blue chip players on that offense,
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: and that is James Cook and Eon Darwkins. The rest
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: of the guys are good, but this is Josh Allen
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: and company getting it done. And so if you want
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: to call it Gladys Knight and the Pips, so whatever
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: you want to call it, it's the Josh Allen show.
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: He is the one that makes it go.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: And everyone has to understand that you have to stop
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: seventeen and you have to stop Seventeen in these situations
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: because this is when he's prone to run.
• 13:42
  Speaker 6: He's prone to run, and gotta have his situations.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: Third down, tight red zone meaning ten yards and end
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: he's going to take off from run it two minute
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: situations where they where it's critical and they need it.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Those are the things where you have to look for
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: seventeen to run. Otherwise it's about him pushing the ball
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: down the fiel and trying to make him force the
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: ball into tight windows.
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: Because he will throw it in the tight coverage.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: You got to be there, but you got to be
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: aware in those gotta have it moments seventeen will take
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: off from run Bucky.
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: You watch more of the Bills than I do? Is
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: you watch more the league than I do? And Josh
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: Allen to me is the biggest X factor left in
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: the playoffs.
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: But is.
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: The way the Jaguars play defensively, meaning playing zone a
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: lot watching him and the fact that they in my opinion,
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: I think the dbs on this team and linebackers are
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: very good tacklers and very very aggressive, tactic, very aware tacklers.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: Not every cornerback I've ever covered fits that category, but
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: these guys do.
• 14:49
  Speaker 7: And they're a.
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: Very team oriented defense. This defense really doesn't depend on
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: one pass rusher to be dominant. They've been a team
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: and play all together.
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: Do those things.
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: Bode well for them or give them a better chance
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: than some teams to slow a player like Josh Allen?
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: Ap.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: I think a few things that work well for the
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: Jaguars in this matchup is what you said is a
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: team friendly scheme. It's a zone based scheme where they
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: will keep their eyes on. I think all that is
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: really important because you don't want to play Manda man
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: a Ton against Josh Allen because when he breaks contained, look,
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: everyone has their eyes on their respective matchups, and that
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: leaves to explosive games for him when you have zone.
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: If he breaks, guys can rally and tackle and kind
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: of minimize the games that he has. But I think
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: it's important to understand Anthony Kapinilli and his background and
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: who he's been around, some of the influence from Vic Fangio,
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: having been around when Vic was around in Miami, and
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: all that other stuff.
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: Remember this when you look at the tape.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: A couple of weeks ago, the Philadelphia Eagles held the
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills to either thirteen or twelve points. Vic Fangiol
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: was the defensive coordinated. There are a lot of things
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: that the Jaguars can utilize to replicate that. Now, we
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: don't necessarily have a Jalen Carter, but we do have
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: a Trayvon Walker that can pop inside in key moments.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: We do have an Armstead who can come inside and
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: create some disruption. I think you'll see some elements of
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: that game plan show up in this game plan that
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: the Jags use. Because the Jaguars are funny, because they're
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: a bit of a chameleon in terms of what they
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: utilize on defense. One week they can be heavy man,
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: the next week they can be zoned. They'll change their look.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: To me, I think they want to keep an umbrella
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: over top of the perimeter coverage. They'll let them move
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: the vault in between the twenties, and then they'll really
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: focus on locking them down in the rezone to make
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: them kick field goals. Look for those game plans to
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: be very very similar the way the Philadelphia Eagles kind
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: of throttle the Buffalo Bills. Look for the Jaguars to
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: use a lot of that in their game plan this week.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Coming up in just a little bit we'll get the
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: defensive coverage of the game and the plan to slow
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: down James Cook in the running game.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: That's coming up in just a few minutes.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Let's slip it around on the other side now, and
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: the Jaguars offense against this Bill's defense. Where can you
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: attack this group, Bucky, if you're Trevor Lawrence, Liam Cohen,
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: Grant Yedinsky.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: So you may not have heard the conversation, Sean McDermott
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: was lamenting the loss of Maxwell harriston one of their dbs.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: He was hurt in the last game. He's unavailable. They
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: try to get some veteran players to come through. Those
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: guys haven't come through, so they're down. They're short on cornerbacks,
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: and where this team needs to be attacked is one.
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: They're very vulnerable against the run.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: They've had problems against the room where people have gone
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: at them, and so you want to make sure that
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: you run at them as much as you can, and
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: you may have a lot of success.
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: But also in finding ways.
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: To throw the ball, you certainly can have some opportunities
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: in these one on one matchups.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: Now, the Buffalo Bills want to play zone.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: They want to keep in front their team that is
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: well constructed, but they've had issues throughout the year in
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: terms of making sure they marry up the coverage with
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: the front and that's the I think the Jaguar's best
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: course of action is to do what they've done the
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: last eight nine weeks. Does let Trevor do what he does,
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: try and run the football, get the ball to all
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: the weapons, and allow the collective unit to overwhelm the
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills as compared to like, oh, I want to
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: make sure I get disperson in that person involved. I
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: think they just run their offense, and I think their
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: offense is good enough to give the Buffalo Bills problem.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree. It seems that the two biggest keys
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: could be you don't want to have a start like
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: you did in Denver, where you don't really move for
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: the first couple because Josh Allen, you know, it can
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: turn into one of those games we've seen this kid play,
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: meaning Josh Allen, where you got to keep up, and
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: that's a possibility with him. I think j Ywards defense
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: can negate that. But you could be in one of
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: those and all of a sudden you're behind on Serve
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: and you're trying to get back in it. I also think,
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: really the Jaguars have talked so often for ten weeks
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: about it's about us when I worry about the other team,
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: and I think in this game that has a lot
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: of merit. In the last eight weeks, the Jaguars have
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: won six of the games by fourteen points. The only
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: two exceptions are when they turned the ball over inside
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: the ten against teams in Arizona and against the Colts.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: That's a stunning stat in terms of how well this
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: offense has given this team leads margins. I think the
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: Jaguars at the point now where if they don't beat
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: themselves offensively, they're really hard to get off the field.
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: And you know, Indianapolis think about that. If you don't
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: have the two red zone turnovers, that's not a six
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: point games will blowout Arizona the same way. Really, they
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: gave one away and I'm not meaning to go back
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: over that, but when I found that this week, it's
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: sort of clarified to me of how well this offense
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: is playing. Played well against Denver, which was arguing one
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: of the best two or three defense. If the Jaguars
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: play their game.
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: Not every team in the league can keep.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Up with Josh Allen when he's on If the Jaguars
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: are playing their game, they can keep up and they
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: can maybe even stay ahead.
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: And they've shown that.
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: I'm not, you know, banging the table bragging on this team,
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: but that's what they've shown for the last nine weeks
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: or eight weeks.
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: It's funny, John like a lot of that, right because
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: all the conversation. Because the stakes are high, people will
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: expect the Jaguars to need to get out of pocket
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: and to do different things. And honestly, it's not about
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: them being any different. It's about them just playing the
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: way that they played. I don't think they have to
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: raise the standards. They don't have to play better than
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: they played. They just need to play at the level
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: that they've played at the last few weeks. And I
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: think what everyone needs to understand, and I think twenty
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: twenty two is going to be a great point of
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: reference for this team.
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: The game is long, and no.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: Matter what it looks like early, there's always opportunities to
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: get back in the game. And so from an emotional standpoint,
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: because it's been a menu since we've seen Trevor make mistakes,
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: we've been in minicince. We've seen the offense sputter or whatever.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Noa's your panic. You have to remember it's a four
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: quarter game and in the playoffs there's gonna be a
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: bit of a feeling out period. We just need to
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: make sure that we stay true to ourselves. If we
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: don't turn the ball over, and if we just play
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: the way that we're playing, running the ball, throwing it
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: to all the weapons, being efficient and effective, man, we're
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: more than good enough to beat the team. And in fact,
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: I'm saying this because I would be shocked if we
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: don't beat them. To me, when you look it up, however,
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: you look up roster comparisons, feeling evaluations, we're the better team.
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: We just need to play. If we play, we'll beat them. Yeah.
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: To me, the reason people don't see that is because
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: of the bills very very impressive recent history. It is
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: there seventh straight playoffs, and because Josh Allen again in
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: saying all this, Josh Allen to me is one of
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: my favorite two three players in the league. I love
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: watching the guy play. He is a walk in Hall
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: of Famer, as good as any quarterback in the last
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: twenty five years. To me, I think the thing that
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: could be a factor that people aren't looking at is
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: the fact that the Bills have tons of playoff experience.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: But it's not like the Jaguars don't have those elements.
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: I meaning, fourteen of these guys were here together in
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: twenty two, and I think what Bucky's talking about could
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: very well play into it if they get down. For example,
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: Trevor Lawrence and Travis DTN and Trayvon Walker and Jines
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: Allen on the sideline going we were down twenty seven
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: three years ago, and so I don't think you know,
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: there's a perception that this is sort of an out
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: of nowhere team, and it is this year. But this
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: core guys they went through losing five of six at
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: the end of of twenty three. They went through coming
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: from out of nowhere five times. Wasn't just that LA game,
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: it was every game.
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: So they've.
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: They have more experience and their teeth are longer than
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: the league things.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: And there's some of the free agent guys they brought
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: in that playoff experience too. It's not like I think
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: it's about thirteen of those guys. Yeah, So I mean
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: that is more than you would anticipate going into a game.
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: Yes, so.
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: I'm looking forward to all right, I think we all are.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: We're back in a moment.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: We'll get to the defensive coverage of the game, and
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: Bucket's gonna tell us how to stop James Cook, Bill's
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: running back, the rushing champion this year in the National
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: Football League. It's huddled up with Bucky Brooks.
• 23:49
  Speaker 8: Slippery, elusive, smooth, is just that has a great feel
• 23:56
  Speaker 8: for mid zone, you know, for the zone game, and
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: you know the press combinations, and then just like he
• 24:03
  Speaker 8: has such a great feel and then duo like if
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: you collapse at all, he's so he's fast enough to
• 24:11
  Speaker 8: bounce it and go one on one with a corner
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: that's got to crack the place, and he's fast enough
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: to run around the edge and make that guy miss.
• 24:19
  Speaker 8: And the run against the Browns that that has been
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: all over the place and it was ridiculous. They had
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: two guys unblocked in the hole and he just makes
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: them both miss and he's off to the races.
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: Great sound effect from Liam Cohen there, James Cook, the
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: you're running back of the Bills forth your player out
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: of Georgia, second round pick back in twenty twenty two,
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: welcome back. It is huddle up with Bucky Brooks, JP Shadwick,
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: John Oser, and Jacksonville. Bucky Brooks out in Los Angeles.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: James Cook, the rushing champion in the National Football League.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: Johnn But is he a truck or a trailer. I'm
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: trying to figure out if he's a.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Trailer because if the quarterback the truck, you can't have
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: two trucks with one two trucks.
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: I don't know. Help me out, Bucky. I still have
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: my son's matchbox cars at home. Maybe I need do
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: I need to set up and figure this out?
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: Well, I think if you have your son's match perst cards,
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: go and see if you can find.
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: The eighteen wheeler, okay, because that's what it is. It's
• 25:21
  Speaker 6: a big trailer. Now, it's a big trailer that's behind
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: Josh Allen. But James Cook is legit.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: James Cook sixteen hundred plus yards, a guy who can
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: take a distance from any one in the field can
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: also catch the ball out the backfield.
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: He is terrific.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: And the combination of Josh Allen James Cook gives people
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: problems because if you're look focused on James Cook the runner,
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: then what you do is you succeptable to Josh Allen
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: coming out the back door on some of the read
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: option things and those tactics. If you are too consumed
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: with Josh Allen and slowing down the passing game, then
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: you have these light boxes that are being eaten up
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: by the run game that the Buffalo Bills present.
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: Here's what I will tell you. The Bills are gonna
• 25:58
  Speaker 6: run twelve personnel, they have tight ends on the field.
• 26:01
  Speaker 6: They're gonna try and run it.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: They want to set up some play action shots tore
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: wide receivers. Number one priority is you got to stop
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: this running game. You cannot allow the Buffalo Bills to
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: run the football. Because if I'm the Bills coming in,
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: I understand what the challenge is. They want to protect
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: their defense. That means a very slow and deliberate approach
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: on offense, Shrink the game, limb the opportunities that the
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: Jaguars have on offense. And so you want to use
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: James Cook as your best defender by giving him the
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: ball twenty five to thirty times and allowing him to
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: dictate the terms.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a very telling for people to watch this
• 26:34
  Speaker 5: show and watch Liam. It's very telling to me that
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: he talked in such detail and such praise of Cook
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: because Liam really really understands how to run a run offense,
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: like he's exceptional at planning, that he knows the intricacies
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: of it. He is praised that coaching staff and this
• 26:58
  Speaker 5: for that, so he understand how good James Cook is
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: at finding holes, at being a smart runner within the offense.
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: To me, I expect the Bills to run better than
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: any team has run on the Jaguars this year. They
• 27:14
  Speaker 5: haven't given up a seventy five yard rusher. It would
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: not surprise me if he exceeds that. To me, Bucky,
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: the key is, you know, I like talking about football
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: in this situation because you sort of talk the same
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: way I do. I think they'll have a couple of
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: drives where they get it. I think they'll have a
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: couple of drives where you're like, oh uh oh, because
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: they're that good. To me, the key is, limit those
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: kind of drives to one or two, and you know,
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: maybe start the first time, maybe start the second when
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: they adjust, but get them out of that. How they
• 27:48
  Speaker 5: adjust to those moments when this great running team gets theirs,
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: to me, will be the key on Sunday.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they have to be able to adapt an adjustin
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: I will say probably the best part of Anthony Campanilli
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: and the defensive staff is their ability to make adjustments
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: in game, whether that is at halftime, whether that's the
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: middle of the second quarter.
• 28:08
  Speaker 6: They do a really good job of.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: Figuring out what the other team is doing early, making
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: adjustments and eliminating the things that are given them issues.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: Liam talked about the run game, and it's interesting for
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: him to talk about duo, which is power without pullers,
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: meaning you're not pulling the backside guard, you're double teaming
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: everyone on the front side, and how they basically just
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: collapse everything down and they allow James Cook to find
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: a hole. That is going to test the discipline and
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: the attention to detail of the defense.
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: Everyone has to understand their responsibilities.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: The guys who are double team have to understand how
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: to fight through the double teams.
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: The right way.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: So it has to be a collective effort from everyone
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: to make sure that they understand the assignments and the
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: alignments and what they're trying to get done. But it
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: comes down to tackling, and it comes down to being
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: able to tackle on the perimeter. It comes down to
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: the guys being able to get them down. He has
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: a little Houdini in his game in terms of making
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: people miss.
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: So you got to get enough bodies around them. But
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: if you can win on early.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: Downs and force this team into obvious passing downs where
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: you can lock up and put your hands on the
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: receivers and get around the receivers, then becomes more difficult
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: for this offense to maneuver.
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that to me is the whole thing.
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: I think.
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: If they hold Cook to hunder one hundred, they.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Went, oh yeah, absolutely, I mean.
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: And that's more than they've given up to anybody. Sure,
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: but they're so dependent on it when you watch them.
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: To me, it's a different kind of runner, but philosophic game. Ever,
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: when the Titans had Derrick Henry and you could be
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: up on them, but they were still going to run.
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: Like being up on a lot of teams takes the runaway,
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: it's over against the Bills. The Bills are so good
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: at it that that strains the defense too, because just
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: because you get them in a situation where most teams
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: wouldn't run, you still have to honor their run.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: So this is.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: The biggest test this very very very good Jaguars run
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: defense has had this year.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: Let's take a look at the defensive coverage of the game,
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: presented by g E Government Employees Health Association Benefits for
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Federal employees and retirees.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: We take a look at the Jaguars.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Defensive rankings in the regular season against the Bills offense. Jags,
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: of course number one against the run. Bill's number one
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: rushing offense. That'll be the primary focus of many this week.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Bill's really good on third down this year, the red zone.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: Of course, the Jaguars number two in the league in takeaways,
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: thirty one of them in the regular season. Should be
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: a fantastic matchup in the AFC wild Card playoff game.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Or return in just a moment and take a look
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: at the playoff bracket and get our final thoughts in
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: before the Bills Jaguars matchup the six to three game
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: and the AFC playoffs coming up this Sunday. And this
• 30:51

• 31:01
  Speaker 8: talked about this morning with want to oh in this week.
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: That's especially you know, we're in the dance now, right,
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: We're in the tournament. So it is we got to
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: go one and o each week, but taking it week
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: in week out, and you know, I think that our
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: players have done a nice job of of, you know,
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: rising to the level of competition and playing well and
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: important games right and then no flinch, no blink mentality,
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: the mindset to you know, hey, we got to go

  Speaker 8: take care of ourselves, go play our best football, put
• 31:33
  Speaker 8: our best foot forward, and go compete our asses off
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: and see what happens. You know, I think we got
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: enough guys that I've played in playoff atmosphere that know
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: what it takes, that know what it's about, that can
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: help some of these younger guys maybe talk through it.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: Liam Cohen, Jaguars head coach, earlier today full press conference
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: he and Trevor Lawrence at Jaguars dot com and Jaguars YouTube.
• 31:56

• 32:06
  Speaker 3: The playoff fields are set in both conferences. The road
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: to Super Bowl sixty begins this weekend. A couple games
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: on Saturday, RAMS at the Panthers for thirty, Packers at
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: the Bears at eight o'clock Eastern, both in the NFC,
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: the five to four game in the seven to two game,
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: Then of course three games Sunday AFC six to three
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: game Bills Jaguars NFC at four point thirty, the six
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: to three game, the Niners at the Eagles, and then
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: at eight o'clock Eastern the seven to two game in
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: the AFC, Chargers Patriots, and on Monday night Texans at
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: Steelers Bucky. This should be a fantastic weekend of football.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: What about the first round wild card games? Outside of
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: the Jaguars games, which game were you most excited to see?
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: There're so many to talk about.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: I think when you look at the Texans and the
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: Pittsburgh Steelers, I'm just curious to see which version of
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: the Steelers shows up. Is a version that played Sunday?
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: Is the version that we hadn't seen from Aaron Rodgers.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: That defense is a lockdown defense in terms of Houston,
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: so that is interesting. I want to see the Chargers
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: take on the team. Did they prefer to play the
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: deal the Patriots? They feel like they matched up well
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: against them. So how did the Patriots come out as
• 33:16
  Speaker 4: a young team. People don't anticipate them being able to
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: make a run because they had this inexperience and they
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: played a quote unquote.
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: Softer schedule so that that works.
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: And you know, the Denver Broncos have been doing a
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: lot of chatting about wanting to payback the team that
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: went on the road and beat them at their place.
• 33:34
  Speaker 6: So I'm just curious to see.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: Who they line up with and what their path to
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: the Super Bowl sixty looks like.
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: Given all the conversation they add, they look mouthy. A
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: bunch of.
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: Mouthy yeah to me, But yeah, I think we talked
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: about it.
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: To me, the.
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: Scary team is the Texans.
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: Because I mean, maybe the Steelers play better than they
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: have all year, but I think I Houston's defense. The
• 34:06
  Speaker 5: two ends seem to me to be one. Every team
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: has its strength. That's one of the stronger, more difficult
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: elements to stop in the playoffs, regardless of conference, regardless
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: of division.
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: Where they they are.
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: Always every time I watch them, they are always all
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: over the opposing quarterback, and that can bother every team
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: in the playoffs, matter what the matchup is.
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: But I'm with you, Bucky.
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: I a matchup sometime this offseason with the Broncos would
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: be a fun week. Let's just see if they get there.
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: I mean very fun week because they are what they
• 34:44
  Speaker 6: are tall.
• 34:45
  Speaker 7: They apparently didn't lose the game amazingly.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: Evidently evidently now. But I'm trying to stay I'm gonna
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: stay where.
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: My cleats are, gonna get too far ahead of it.
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: Look, man, I'm really excited about this because the way
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: this run is shaping up, in the way the field
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: is shaping up, it is right there for the Jacks.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: And we've done a really good job of staying week
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: to week as a team and not getting too far
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: ahead of it. But when you look at this team
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: and the way they're trending and the way they're playing it,
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: more importantly, the status of their players, like the health
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: is really good. In terms of this team having most
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: of their weapons available to play on both sides of
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: the ball, I anticipate us playing really well. And it's
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: a hardened team. It's a team that has played a
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: very difficult schedule. There is no one that they will
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: face in the postseason that is more challenging than the
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: teams that they've played and beaten during the regular season.
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: This team is well prepared, and as long as we
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: don't get out of pocket and become overly emotional because
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: of the game and the circumstance, I expect us to
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: play well in front of our home fans, and I'm
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: looking forward to it being look a fun Sunday and
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: a Sunday that gives us a chance to get to
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: the next weekend.
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's an interesting dynamic, JP, and you and I
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: have covered this is the third playoff team we've covered here. Correct,
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: Jay Wars also made the playoffs in five and seven,
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: but this is the first time out of those five
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: and again I separated because I covered them in the
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: nineties when they were sort of the favorite at times.
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: They've never gone in as prepared, as battle tested, whatever
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: you know, as hot with eight games every year before,
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: there was always the in twenty two, did you really
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: think they were going to get past the Chiefs?
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: You hoped in seventeen?
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: You know, Brady's there, and even when they went up
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: to Pittsburgh, they had to upset, you know, they had
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: to kind of beat the team punching up five and
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: seven they lost for Patriots, you know, and I'm not
• 36:49
  Speaker 5: saying they're the favorite going in, but even you know, Bucky,
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: you can talk about some more than I can. Players
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: have to have that core of belief. You hope you
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: can win, you believe you can win. This team sort
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: of goes in thinking there's no reason we shouldn't win. Yeah,
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: and they got to prove that. But that's a different element.
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: Plus they had the respect card of we're going to
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: prove to everybody that were right. It's an interesting team
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: that it's a playoffs you gotta win it, but I
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: think they can.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And just a quick reference on those two years,
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: number seventeen, Blake Warls got hot in December.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: The defense was maniacal.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: Those guys are crazy, right, I mean, they were great
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: all year long, but the offense kind of caught up
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: and they had to rally and win the thing, right,
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: and got in.
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Twenty two, same thing.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: They're trailing in games, defense makes plays, they're coming back
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: fourth quarter.
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: They were always behind the eight ball and just finding away.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: And of course the playoff game happened with the four
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: picks and all that, and they rallied to win. But
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: you're right, I mean there was always that you feel
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: like there was one bigger team, always out there.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Ahead of them those playoff runs.
• 37:52
  Speaker 6: Bucky.
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's not a boogieyman out there. There's not a
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: team that you can look up, particularly in the AFC,
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: and say, oh my gosh, man, we don't want to
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: play that team, or this team is noticeably better than
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: everyone else. What you can say is when you look
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: at the playoff field, all seven teams have a ward
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: that they have to overcome. They have a fatal flaw
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: that can prevent them from being able to get to
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. Of all the teams, I would say
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: the Jags are the most ballant when it comes to
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: being able to minimize their glaring weaknesses. And I would
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: say the outside perception of the team is they're waiting
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: for the clock to strike midnight on number sixteen. There's
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: this feel that he is Cinderella and at some point
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: he's going to have to get back into pumpkin carriage
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: and go back.
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: Where he came from. But I just don't see that.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: And I think it's great that he has an opportunity
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: to match up against Josh Allen because Trevor Lawrence is
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: eerily similar to Josh Allen in terms of some of
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: the things that He's showing that he can do this year.
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: He's a touchdown short of joining an elusive club where
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: Josh Allen has been in it twice.
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: Lamar Jackson, Can Newton.
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: Twenty five touchdowns, ten twenty five pass touchdowns, ten rushing touchdowns.
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence is right there knocking on the door thirty
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: eight touchdowns responsible for He has that, and.
• 39:10
  Speaker 6: So I'm just excited that the football world is going
• 39:13
  Speaker 6: to get a chance to see that Sunday in the bank.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: The only thing that would have made it better is
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: would have been a nighttime game, so the energy would
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: be a little different, but it should be an electric
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: atmosphere on Sunday anyway.
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, A, there's no bad playoff spote. But let these
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: guys believe they were dissed with the one o'clock game.
• 39:34
  Speaker 7: That's great. And I.
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: Don't know what will happen Sunday, but I put the
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: pumpkin carriage away. I don't think there's gonna be any
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: calls put in the garage to put him like I don't.
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: Maybe there'll be a three pick game Someboday. Again, I'm
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: sure there will be.
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: They probably will.
• 39:53
  Speaker 7: I use this.
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: Analogy all the time on a Sunday night game. I
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: once to watch Peyton six picks. Those games are gonna happen,
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: but there's a lot of picks. They almost won the game.
• 40:04
  Speaker 7: And but.
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: He also was the m v P two years later
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: and not three years later. So point being, you're gonna
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: have games like this. I don't think you're gonna resort.
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: I don't think you're ever gonna have Trevor Lawrence in
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: his career where people are wondering if he's good or not.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: It's good, it's a good step. That's and now you've
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: got to go win and playoff games.
• 40:29
  Speaker 6: John, you're ready to lock this thing? Are you locking it?
• 40:31
  Speaker 7: Or you not locking the game? But I'm locking him
• 40:34
  Speaker 7: being good?
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: You know you're not locking the game?
• 40:36
  Speaker 7: Or like, what are we not locking the game?
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: I am locked Trevor being a top five or six quarterback.
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: Okay, well, I'm talking about the game, not practice about
• 40:46
  Speaker 6: the game.
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you're talking about Look, you've gone from trailers to
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: trucks to pumpkin carriages.
• 40:54
  Speaker 7: I'm all over the place. I'm just trying to keep
• 40:57
  Speaker 7: the car on the.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Road of automobiles.
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: Saying about playing one of those teams where there is
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: the Patriots or whoever next weekend.
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: I'm looking forward.
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: You're gonna win at it, and I think it's gonna
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: be interesting Sunday night to see.
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: Where they go.
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: But that's what I believe.
• 41:16
  Speaker 6: Okay, I like it.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: Bucky, have a great week. We got another one in.
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: We'll do it again next week. How about that. Oh,
