  Speaker 2: in the Hyundai Studios and Bucky Brooks out in Los Angeles.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: The Jags and the Steelers coming up in Week eight.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: The Jags offense against the Steelers physical defense and the
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: pass rush. We'll get to that coming up. The Jags
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: defense setting the tone for this group so far in
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. They played nearly ninety plays last Thursday
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: night in the Super Dome. Big AFC implications this week,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: of course, and Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks is brought
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: to you by Field's Auto Group Jacksonville, Step up to
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: Luxury Fields autot Well. The Jaguars are headed to Pittsburgh
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: for the first time since the AFC Divisional playoff game.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: After the twenty seventeen season. That was the jaguars last
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: trip to Pittsburgh. Bucky, it has been a while the
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Jags have had success there, need to have some more
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: starting this week.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: What's up?
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: What's up?
• 1:20
  Speaker 5: Man?
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: It's big week.
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: Pittsburgh Week is another measuring stick game for the Jaguars,
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: not necessarily in terms of the talent of the Stillers,
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: but more so the physicality. Can you step up and
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: play bully ball against the team that is known for
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: being the biggest bullies on the block.
• 1:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah, and when you're trying to do what the Jaguars
• 1:39
  Speaker 7: A're trying to do, which is, you know, clearly win
• 1:42
  Speaker 7: the division and be one of quote those teams. These
• 1:46
  Speaker 7: are the kind of games you win at mid season
• 1:49
  Speaker 7: that sets you up for having eleven and four, I
• 1:53
  Speaker 7: mean eleven four, eleven and six, twelve and five type records.
• 1:58
  Speaker 7: You know, as Evan Ingram said in the Lock just now,
• 2:00
  Speaker 7: you know you're not scoreboard watching at this time of year.
• 2:04
  Speaker 7: But at five and two, this is the kind of
• 2:07
  Speaker 7: game where you start to sort of separate yourself. You
• 2:10
  Speaker 7: win these and let the chips fall with the may
• 2:12
  Speaker 7: with the other guys, and all of a sudden, you're
• 2:15
  Speaker 7: you have a record at the end of the year
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: that you like, and to me, this is a game
• 2:19
  Speaker 7: you ought to win. I'm not saying that Steelers aren't good,
• 2:22
  Speaker 7: but I think you're better. But you got to go
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: up there and play a team that doesn't believe you're
• 2:27
  Speaker 7: better than they are. So it's gonna be tough.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Now you win a game like this, they've already got
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: one in their pocket against Buffalo as well. You have
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: this Pittsburgh game, then all of a sudden, your record
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: is what it is, but you have the tiebreaker games
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: when it matters late.
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: Remember last year, you know they beat the Ravens that
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: come back well at the end of the season, all
• 2:44
  Speaker 7: of a sudden, when you started looking at the Ravens stuff,
• 2:48
  Speaker 7: they didn't matter as much when you were trying to
• 2:50
  Speaker 7: figure out your playoff scenarios because you had beaten them.
• 2:53
  Speaker 7: So these little games that I'm not sure the Steelers
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: are gonna win the North. I think the Ravens probably are,
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: but they're gonna be right in there. And you know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: you like having those games that you've beaten the other team.
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: You have to worry about them as much. Look at Buffalo,
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: right now your two games up on them.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how it works, Bucky. You get these wins now,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: and then hey, come playoff time.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: It can be a big one.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it can be a big one because you're always
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: trying to stack these wins up in the middle of
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: the year. But you also are trying to put yourself
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: in a position where maybe you can backdoor into the
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: number one seed. You don't want to think that far ahead,
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: but these games are critical to being able to do that.
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: Because we're going to assume that the Jaguar's gonna keep
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: playing well and they're gonna win the division. Well, now
• 3:32
  Speaker 6: it's a race to see if you can kind.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Of supplant Kansas City as a number.
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: One overall seed. You get the number one overall seed,
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: it's two games and go to the super Bowl. But
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: before you can even think like that, you gotta win
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: some of these evenly contested games, so you can begin
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: to think about that the last four or five games
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: down the stretch.
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: What if you're gonna be the best team in the
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: AFC or one of the best, you have to knock
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: other teams out of that spot, if that makes any sense.
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: The Steelers, I think, are still sort of trying to
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: figure out who they are.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: They've had.
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: A couple of one sided losses, but they've had some
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: like tight wins. It's maybe time for the Jaguars show
• 4:14
  Speaker 7: the Steelers, hey we're good and you're just okay. They
• 4:19
  Speaker 7: haven't lost in the road this year, Jayson haven't lost
• 4:22
  Speaker 7: away from here. They're a team that handles that well.
• 4:26
  Speaker 7: So I think it's a game they ought to go win,
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: but it's not a game that I think they'll go
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: win easily.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: If we know anything about this Jaguars team right now,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: we know they are a resilient group. Considering what they
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: did in the last four games, four wins, nineteen days,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: four stadiums, three cities.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: We know all that.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: But now the trick Bucky is flipping that around. There's
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: only one game in what the next twenty something game
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: days and balancing the momentum that they have a little
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: bit going with getting guys rested and then back and
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: ready for the stretch run. That's from one extreme to
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: the other.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: It is from one extream to the other.
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: But if you ask Doug Peterson and coaching staff, they
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: would rather have it this way. Nenative through that tough
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: stretch they would rather be able to rest, recover, but
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: more importantly refined, refine.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: The things that they're doing. The bye week will give
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: you an opportunity to do that.
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: You talk you about having twenty days, that's a ton
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: of practices that you can get in and work on
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: the things that have really been troubling the offense, to
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: defense and the special teams. To this point, it's a
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: great opportunity for the team to get better because they
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: have more time on the practice field without having to
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: worry about playing a game. Once they get past it's
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: Stiller's game, this is an opportunity for them to get
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: a lot better going down the stretch.
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's such a funny league to analyze because they
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: put themselves in great shape. Five and two. We're really
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: win or lose this game this weekend. You are in
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: good shape going into the buy. But boy, aren't you
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: in better shape and feeling so much better about yourself?
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: You win four straight and then you drop this one
• 6:06
  Speaker 7: all of a sudden. That buy isn't nearly as as
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: fun for players. So it's it's such a week to
• 6:11
  Speaker 7: week league that, yeah, you gotta go get this one.
• 6:15
  Speaker 7: Getting this one, you feel great going five. You know,
• 6:18
  Speaker 7: it's a rare thing. Five straight wins, five differt stadiums
• 6:21
  Speaker 7: going into a bye Boy, do you feel good?
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: But buck if you.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Don't, Yeah, but I mean like that. That's the thing.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: I think the most important thing is at the midway point,
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: you want to still be in the rate. Yeah, a
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: five hundred record, a little over five hundred record. You
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: need to start having real playoff aspirations. If you are
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: well ahead of the curve, you have six.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: And two man, then you begin to kind.
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: Of raise your sights, raise your standards in terms of
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: what you're looking at from the playoff pitcher. The Jaguars
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: have a tough back end of the schedule in terms
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: of the amount of competitors and contenders that are on
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: the schedule, and so a game like this Pittsburgh young
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: quarterback team that's kind of scuffling and trying to find
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: their way offensively, this.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: Is one that if the Jaguars, you gotta win this one.
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: This is one to push you well ahead at the pace.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: Gives an opportunity to think big, big, big dreams.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Let's hear from head coach Doug Peterson, speaking with the
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: media today, asked if he is well is this where
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: they expected to be after a handful of games this year?
• 7:25
  Speaker 8: Quite honestly, you expect to be in this situation. You know,
• 7:29
  Speaker 8: we can still play better. I think there's a lot
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: left out on the field each weekend that we can
• 7:35
  Speaker 8: we can learn from and improve, especially the back half
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: of the season. And you know, it's it's it's a
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: credit to the players though, you know, and we've had
• 7:45
  Speaker 8: our share of injury, and guys have stepped up and
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: have played well in in backup situations. And you know,
• 7:53
  Speaker 8: we're just anticipating some of our guys, whether it's this
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: week or after the bye, getting healthy and getting get
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: back on the field. But you know, your expect your
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: expectation is to win every game, obviously, and we haven't.
• 8:10
  Speaker 8: But pleased with where we are right now.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: And they've had some moving parts, certainly on the offensive side,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: John and the injury front the last few weeks, Say
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Jones has I think finished one game this year. He
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: was playing in two others and left those and missed Forest.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's a lot of moving parts there.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Then the offensive line, we know the rotation there. What's
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: the latest with Walker Little and say Jones? What the
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: head coach say today.
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: Well what he said was sort of very vague. What
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: happened was Zay Jones did not practice. Everybody else. When
• 8:42
  Speaker 7: I say everybody else, Tyson, Campbell and Cisco with hamstrings,
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: Trevor Lawrence with the knee, Walker Little, and Brandon Sheriff
• 8:51
  Speaker 7: with knee and ankor respectively, everybody else was limited.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: With Devon Hamilton.
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: As he was last week with the back, practicing full,
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: but with situation coming back. I don't know what full
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: means in terms of his status.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Ye have to act. Yeah, So.
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: To me, that would lead me to be surprised if
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: they plays on Sunday. You would think, if it's still
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: dicey enough to not practice, you give them one more
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: week and then you have a long stretch where you
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: can rest them. That's just me speculating on how things
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: usually go. Beyond that, I expect those limited guys to play.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: That makes sense to me, Bucky, right, I mean, if
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: there's any question at all, just give it another two
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: weeks and get back for San Francisco.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, And that's the way that you have to think.
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: You got to have a big picture focused, and so
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: the big picture should tell you, hey, let's make sure
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: that we do what we need to do to make
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: sure that our best players are.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Available down to stretch as much as we can.
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: So if you're looking at Zay Jones and you're saying, Okay,
• 9:45
  Speaker 6: we have the Pittsburgh game here, but we got.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: A bi week after that, three.
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: Weeks to really come fully back, and maybe we don't
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: have to do this on again off again things, So
• 9:55
  Speaker 6: that has to be in consideration. It was one of
• 9:57
  Speaker 6: the things that I worried about last week with Trevor Lawrence.
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: Do you play him on a short week or do
• 10:01
  Speaker 6: you kind of rest him so he can come back
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: and play a four week against the Steelers.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: It worked out. I think this is one you want
• 10:07
  Speaker 6: to air on us out of caution when you're looking
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: at day Jones and whether he plays or not.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, cause you get I mean it.
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: I thought they would play Trevor last week, and I
• 10:17
  Speaker 7: thought they should. The whole thing was fine. Uh, but
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: Zay really is He left Kansas City, came back and
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: played okay against I mean, played really well when he
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: played against but Philip, but then left. So you don't
• 10:30
  Speaker 7: want to take a chance on that. Being as Bucky said,
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: the pattern. Uh, you get him back healthy and add
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: him into a healthy mix. To me, that's the one
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: thing that all these all the people who are concerned
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: about the Jaguars offense and called it sporadic. That's the
• 10:46
  Speaker 7: biggest X factor that can fix that to me is
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: having him back in.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Uh. Just alwing to Christian Kirk in the locker room.
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: Today, Zay gives you two or three big third downs
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: a game. Those third down conversions not only give you
• 11:02
  Speaker 7: first downs, it usually gives you the ball for another
• 11:06
  Speaker 7: two or three minutes. It gives you field position, maybe
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: you're going from the thirty to the forty five and
• 11:11
  Speaker 7: then you're punting different stuff like that changes the perspective
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: of a.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Game defense as well.
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they've really missed Zay's trust with Trevor. That instinctiveness
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: that you saw really developed at the end of last
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: season with Zay and Trevor.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: I think you sort of rest him this week and
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: then get him back and have all four guys meaning Ridley, Kirk, uh.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Ingram and z for the stretch run.
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: I think it could be a dramatically different offense with
• 11:41
  Speaker 7: him back in Bucky.
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, it can be a different offense with him
• 11:45
  Speaker 6: back in the mix. This is interesting because when you're
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: on the field, like game day, you never really understand what,
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: say Jones's value is beyond catching the passes and those things.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: But a couple of weeks ago, he caught a.
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: Timeout because they were a line in an illegal formation
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: and he had to wherewithal to know as third and four,
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: if we take this penalty, it's gonna really put us
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: in a bad situation.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Let's take the time out.
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: He does a lot of self correcting on the field,
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: getting now himself, but the group right in terms of
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: who's on and off the line of scrimmage, who's in
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: certain personnel packages, who's running what on certain concepts where
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: they're moving people around. He is a very valuable piece
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: to the puzzle, even though the numbers can never actually
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: reflect how big his impact is on this offense.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Bootleggers, Get ready. Luke Combs is bringing two nights to
• 12:37

  Speaker 2: That's fifty percent. I'm all in, not enough plenty more.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Look like a look at the Pittsburgh Steelers when we
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: come back. It's huddled up with Bucky Brooks.
• 13:10
  Speaker 8: It is number one.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 13:11
  Speaker 8: They usually pride themselves a lot on running the football,
• 13:14
  Speaker 8: and that's kind of the the basis, you know, for
• 13:18
  Speaker 8: for what they try to do. I mean, the running
• 13:20
  Speaker 8: game is it's a little bit, a little bit of
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: timing up front, missing some combination blocks. They've they've had different,
• 13:29
  Speaker 8: you know, different guys in there from time to time.
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: But you know, it's something that you got to continue
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: to work.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, when it.
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: Hits, it's it hits, and it hits, it hits big,
• 13:43
  Speaker 8: you know, and and notes the things that you have
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: to really kind of guard yourself against defensively and and
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: do a good job just you know, like our defense
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: has done the last couple of weeks, said.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Coach Jack Peterson from earlier today. Welcome back, it's huddled
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: up with Bucky Brooks. It's Wednesday, Week eighth. The Jaguars

• 14:20
  Speaker 2: with you know, I asked a few guys in the
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: locker room a minute ago, John, you know what what's
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: up with the Steelers statistically all this? And to a
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: man pretty much, they said, you other four and two.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's not like they're you know what they're
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: gonna be. They're gonna be physical and it's an offense
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: as well. Bucky. It's you know, they may not have
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: the big, flashy numbers, but they still have some guys.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Are getting a wide receiver back this week and had
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: him last week I think too. But they've got running
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: back skill if they can break him loose. He hasn't
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: done it yet, but he can and can he pick
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: it an up and coming quarterback?
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: Bucky.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a really good team. I mean the
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: record is what the record is. Where they're a good
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: team because they know how to win. It's not always pretty.
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: It's a little bit of a kind of a grimy
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: style that they employ. But when Mike Tomlin is a
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: head coach, they find a way to win. I mean,
• 15:09
  Speaker 6: these guys have never had a losing seasons throughout his
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: tenure with the Steelers. They do different things. Some weeks
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: it's the defense.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Sometimes it's a special team.
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: Other times the offense coming up with time and playmaking
• 15:21
  Speaker 6: when they've been stagnant the entire game. This is a
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: game that will test the focus and the physicality of
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: the Jaguars. Can you physically match them down after down
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: in the trenches and then your focus, can you focus
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: and finish the game when you have an opportunity to
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: knock them out. They thrive on people that are unable
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: to put them away. You let them hang around in the.
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: Fourth quarter, then one of their players, one of their blue.
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: Chip players, makes a play that shifts the balance of
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: the game.
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: This has to be a game with the Jaguars lock in.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: They got to beat them up for sixty four minutes.
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: Yeah, focus is absolutely key, And as Bucky was saying that,
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: I'm thinking and it's a team that it sounds so
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: cliche to say, well, you got to protect the ball
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: to win this game, because you get to you have.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: To protect the ball every week.
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: But this team really thrives on they need turnovers to win.
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: The Steelers they needed one to win and they only
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: had one against the Rams this last weekend, but it
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: was the one that turned a game round. They're waiting
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: for it and assuming they're going to get it because
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: they assume that their edge rushers high Smith and Water
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: are going to make a play to get them the ball.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: You saw. I think it was against the Ravens.
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: They did that big time and against the Browns early
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: in the season where they just waited until it made
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: those plays and one games with that.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: That's usually the way you clinch games. They win games.
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: By getting sacks, turnovers, et cetera. So I agree with Bucky,
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: they're dangerous. You need to put them away because if
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: they're in the fourth quarter, up there and close to you,
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: their experience, they don't just believe it, they have experience
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: that tells them they can come back and beat you.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, John, that's a great point. It's a great point
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: of all those.
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: Experiences giving them the confidence. And you know, we talked
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: about experience brings about a level of expertise. They know
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: how to win these games because Mike Tomlin has been
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: in these games a ton. They know Stillers football is
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: always going to be within one score.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: It's gonna be a defensive lead team. The defense kind
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: of sputter along, but eventually they'll try and find their way.
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: For the Jaguars, it's about crushing this spirit early in
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: the game, making sure that Kenny Pickett doesn't get comfortable,
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: keeping an eye on George Pickens, making sure Deontae Johnson,
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: those guys don't get loose. And then every time the
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: Naja Harris touches the ball man it has to be
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: a concerted effort to get eleven hats to the ball.
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: You also got to sting him, beat him up. This
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: is a game where it's physicality over everything.
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: The Jaguars have had a ton of success over the
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: Stillers in the past because they have an uncanny build
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: to raise their level of intensity and physicality. When they
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: play this team, same recipe, same formula has to apply.
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I also maintain I mean, I'm not trying to
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: discount the Jaguars success against Steelers.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: They've been a.
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: Little fortunate in that they've played them a lot when
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: they've been good. If it makes any sense, seven twenty
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: seventeen happened to be years where the Jaguars were good,
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: and then they played them a lot in that mid
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: two thousands when the Jaggars were again. That's not taken
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: it away from it, because the Jaguars ability to play
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: this team well has been remarkable because even when you're good,
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: you don't always beat this Steelers team, so they do.
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: If there's a franchise like the Bills a little bit.
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: The Jaguars are a little bit in their head because
• 18:48
  Speaker 7: they've beaten them in some big, big games.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: The Steelers a little bit too.
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: The Steelers know that the Jaguars come in there and
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: play well, so that I thought it had something to
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: do with seventeen when they were playing well.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: The fact that the.
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: That the Jaguars thought this is a place where we
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: go do well, So that discounting it. But guess what,
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: Jpjagars are good now, so I expect him to go.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: The Jaguars is a franchise.
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: Don't get worried about playing in three rivers or Acrosure
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: or Heinz Field or you know, Helman's mayonnaise whatever up there,
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: whatever the names. They don't get worried about playing up
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: there doesn't mean they win, but they don't have the
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: ara doesn't bother.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: That, so they've won.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Going back to nineteen ninety nine, there have been nine
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: trips for the Jaguars to Pittsburgh, including two playoff games,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: and the Jaguars have won seven of those games.
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: And it's remarkable because when I you know, I jokingly
• 19:45
  Speaker 7: about the Steelers there are and their ability up there
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: is real.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: When I covered with the Colts, I don't think they
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: went there and won during that span, didn't play very often,
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: but it's a real difficult place to play.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Did Jaguars historically handle it remarkably well and I expect
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: them to do on Sunday.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it is a tough place to play. They have
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: the terrible hotel. I was waving. Uh, you see them
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: kind of get charge up.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: That's why, very early in the game, you gotta find
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: a way to neutralize TJ. Why can't let TJ wh
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: start making the play because if he gets it going,
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: it kind of gets this this feeding frenzy of a
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: crowd love it up, and then it becomes a problem.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: When it comes to the offense.
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: Early in the game, first quarter, I can imagine Doug
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: Peterson really being on the offense.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: We need to play from him front. First quarter has
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: to be fast.
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: Look for a couple of explosive opportunities, and that's scripted.
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: First fifteen play segment. Want to jump up on them
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: seven to ten. Oh, make them have to chase the point,
• 20:47
  Speaker 6: made them have to get out of the style they before.
• 20:49
  Speaker 7: Well, that's really jp how they won in seventeen up
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: there in the playoffs, no doubt, got up early and
• 20:55
  Speaker 7: they had to chase the whole game.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: So the chase, right, It's always.
• 20:59
  Speaker 7: Good to be up early, no doubt, but especially against
• 21:02
  Speaker 7: this team.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: As Bucky said with TJ.
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: Watt, you want to be up so that you're controlling
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: and you're in places you want to be.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: One final point to your thought earlier, John, you know
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: those wins over the last nine visits up to Pittsburgh
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: ninety nine and two thousand win win good teams in Jacksonville,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: of course, one a loss, five win and overtime oh
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: seven win in the regular season and a win in
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: the playoffs.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: Both those were Jags playoff really.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Good teams eleven a loss, I know what was happening then,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: and then seventeen the win and the regular season in
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: the playoffs and they have good teams win.
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: When the Jaguars have been good, they go up and
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: they handle that situation.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Hey, let's come back. We've got Trevor Lawrence ahead, and yes,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: the knee brace is still.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: On, and it's gonna say, yes, we're.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Gonna hear from the quarterback coming up and get his
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: thoughts on that brace in the situation where the Jaguars offense.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Jaggs fans want customized Jaguars furniture for your home. Check
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: out zip check dot com and browse all customizable options
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: zip chair furniture for fans. It's huddle up with Bucky Brooks.
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, uh, I don't think I need to
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: kind of speaks for itself. You know, it's just it's
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: like one of those things you find ways to win,
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: you get you get criticism, and you don't win games,
• 22:24
  Speaker 5: you get criticism.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: So it's nature of the business.
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: Obviously we're used to that here, so it doesn't it
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: doesn't bug us. But I think it's just, you know,
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: it's a good reminder just to everyone that you know,
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: we use all this it's a chip on our shoulder.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: We use it as fuel. That's really all. It was, nothing,
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: nothing more to it. I've obviously those people are doing
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: their jobs too at the same time, so you understand it.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: But I think it's good to have a little emotion
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: and remember remember kind of things that people say, and
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: we don't forget it when when people are backtracking in
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: a few weeks or into the season, whatever it is.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: So that's all it was. Yeah, everybody does a little bit,
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: maybe some more than others, you know, others more than
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: me probably, but definitely I think you use all that
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: and that's part of getting our edge back as a team.
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: That's what we've done the last few weeks and we're
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: gonna keep doing it.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: So the quarterback Trevor Lawrence asked about his hashtag analysts tweet.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: I thought it was fun.
• 23:18
  Speaker 7: Supposed to be fun, JP, I mean, and Trevor in
• 23:22
  Speaker 7: moments will have fun. When he pointed at the scoreboard
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: last year at the end of the Tennessee Gate. Yeah,
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: you know, if you're not having a little bit of
• 23:30
  Speaker 7: fun out there, why you do it? I Mean, the
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: money's good, but beyond that, fans you know, I think
• 23:38
  Speaker 7: fans like that it's harmless. Uh, there's an us against
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: them to it. I thought it was pretty cool, Bucky
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: and Christian was laughing at it, saying he was he
• 23:47
  Speaker 7: was clapping and high five into himself when he saw it.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: He loved it.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, No, just the thing you other. Remember, everybody in
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: that locker room is a level competitive. They look forward the.
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: Slice, they're looking for a reason to make it personally,
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: and so when they're giving a little fuel, they feed
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: off of it. You heard Trevor talk about that and
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: kind of wanting people to walk it back and remembering
• 24:11
  Speaker 6: those things.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: And everybody in sports they always like to feel like
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: nobody believed in us. We're done the dog.
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: It's just part of the athlete thing. And so if
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: that gets Trevor Lawrence going, it's great. But there's a
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: fine line between reading too much of that stuff. At
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: the end of the day, man, your pride and your
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: performance and all that other stuff has to be intrinsically motivated.
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: You don't need to really deal with the external factors.
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: Just make sure you bring it each and every day
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: because the pride is in make sure that you win
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: games and you stuck up a lot of them so
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: you can do the stuff that you want to do
• 24:43
  Speaker 6: as a team.
• 24:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah, JP, When I was covered high school sports with
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: my good friend Matt Hayes, who's now on ten ten
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: and you know, one of the better college football guys
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: in the country. We covered high school football together for
• 24:53
  Speaker 7: a couple of years and we had a rule with
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: each other that we couldn't use, and nobody thought we
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: could do it.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: We knew we could do.
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: It after every high school game and if I started realizing,
• 25:04
  Speaker 7: nobody really was thinking whether you could do it or not.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: So do you use that now you're high school?
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Do you use that now? Bucky and your team?
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: I mean I looked for different things. If there's a
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: reason where I can poke the bear a little bit, yeah,
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: I'll poke the bear.
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: I mean, look, the emotional charge goes away after the
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: first two minutes of the game, but you're always looking
• 25:27
  Speaker 6: for something to kind of, you know, kind of perk.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: Them up a little bit.
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's that's what you naturally do as a competitor.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: Like, we're always looking for that reason.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Don't you.
• 25:37
  Speaker 7: I mean, I want to ask Bucky the analyst slash
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: defensive coordinator here uh and and and mainly scout.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: Coach all all of Bucky's hats.
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: Trevor Lawrence and the criticism that he was responding to
• 25:55
  Speaker 7: last week is not the only criticism you hear about him.
• 25:58
  Speaker 7: But I guess I was surprised. I looked at the
• 26:03
  Speaker 7: stats and realized you only had eighteen or eight touchdown
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: passes this year. I was a little surprised at that
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: because I don't pay that much attention to the stats
• 26:13
  Speaker 7: because they don't always line up. I was surprised at
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: that number because from watching him play seven games, I
• 26:21
  Speaker 7: get that he's not on pace to match his touchdowns
• 26:24
  Speaker 7: from last year. But I just feel like he's a
• 26:26
  Speaker 7: better quarterback and managing the game better, playing better. They're
• 26:31
  Speaker 7: five and two. It never really occurred to me that
• 26:35
  Speaker 7: he wasn't playing as well, although I guess if you
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: look at stats and expect like high powered stuff, you.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: Would be am. I am I off base there at all?
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: No, You're not a base.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: One of the reasons why Tom Brady's considered to go,
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: not because of the individual stats, is because his ability.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: To win games.
• 26:54
  Speaker 6: As long as Trevor stacks w's it doesn't matter what
• 26:57
  Speaker 6: the stat line looks like at the end of the day,
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: the quarterbacks job is to lead.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: The team to the winner circle.
• 27:03
  Speaker 6: The Jaguars are beginning to learn how to find different
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: ways to get there.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: We came into the year thinking that this.
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: Offense was going to be the one that kind of
• 27:11
  Speaker 6: carried the team to whatever.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: They are able to do at the end of the year.
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: It hasn't been like that.
• 27:16
  Speaker 6: The offense has been clunky, has been inconsistent defensively, and
• 27:20
  Speaker 6: with the special teams, that's how they've been able to
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: kind of put themselves.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: In position to win games.
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: The hope is the second half of the season the
• 27:28
  Speaker 6: offense hits his stride to go with the defense and
• 27:30
  Speaker 6: the special teams and then they play at a high level.
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: But right now, Trevor Lawrence has done just enough to
• 27:37
  Speaker 6: win games. And there's nothing wrong with using a menagerial
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: approach as opposed to a play making approach to get.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: The job done.
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: And and I understand the clunkiness, but I also understand that
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: in the last four weeks in this winning streak, big
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: play at the end of that game, the forty four
• 27:52
  Speaker 7: yard touchdown when they needed it, big big touchdowns against
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: the Bills to clinch it.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: And run in key moments.
• 28:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, big first downs against Atlanta. To me, I just
• 28:05
  Speaker 7: feel like I did last week. I get that it's
• 28:08
  Speaker 7: not the high power, number one rated offense people expected,
• 28:12
  Speaker 7: but the team is making plays at the big moments.
• 28:16
  Speaker 7: This just feels so much more sustainable than what they
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: were doing at the end of last year. Maybe I'll
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: be proven wrong, but I think this is this team
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: is a much better team overall than it was seven
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: you know, obviously seven games in, but even at the
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: end of last year when they were making headlines.
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: Is howel oh YEA because last Yeah, because last year
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: there was a lot of hocus pocus to what was happening.
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: I mean, there was a lot of can't get a
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: stop on defense. Oh, by the way, there's a phone
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: where we pick it up, we go score, we getting
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: whoop for most.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Of the game.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: I think it's a tip boll.
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: Interception and the takeaways get it. Trevor Lawrence finds.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: A big play. It was a lot of a lot.
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: Of things had to go the Jaguars way for them
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: to get the w's and make it into the postseason.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: This year, it hasn't been pretty, but it's been a
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: little more sustainable.
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: It's a little more uh more substance to it than
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: it's been in the past, and we.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: Just have to get used to it.
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: It's funny because we've always talked about when the Jaguars
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: have been good, there's been a certain style that has
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: always been employed us about the defense playing.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: Well or whatever, and Lo and Behold.
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: Were right back to the way that the Jaguars always
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: kind of played when they're good. It's about defense, timely pay,
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: making special teams, and then a little bit of the
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: offense making contributions. And that's fine as long as they
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: win games. I don't think anyone cares. At the end
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: of the day, the most important stat is did you
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: win or did you lose?
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: The Jaguars have been winning, so it's all good.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: He dropped hocus pocus on us.
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: He did, he didn't, and JP one stat that's not
• 29:37
  Speaker 7: hoax spokes. We talked about it on the Reporters podcast.
• 29:41
  Speaker 7: Four games they've trailed once and it was when they
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: trailed three nothing and hadn't had the ball yet against Indy. Now,
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: I get the Saints came back on him, but look
• 29:53
  Speaker 7: in the NFL, you reel off four games where Basically
• 29:59
  Speaker 7: you never trailed because your offense had not had a
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: chance to go score yet, so you gotta get there trail.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: I'm nitpicking. You give it, I'm getting that.
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: I don't you know you can go a long time
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: in this league and be really good and not have
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: a four game run like that.
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: So it's funny, John, Like I've been with coaches in
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: the National Football League who would always set the goal
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: of we just want to go three and one each
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: quarter of the season. This is when it was a
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: sixteen game season. But three and one, we'll get you
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: to twelve and four. You can amend that now to
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: be in either.
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: Twelve and five or thirty in the four.
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: But the goal is we can talk about, hey, we're
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: trying to win them all, but no one realistically thinks
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: that you're gonna run the table. You win three out
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: of four, man, a lot of your goals, a lot
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: of your like title hopes, they stay and play because
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: you not only probably win your division, but you're guaranteed
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: to get one of the top two maybe three seeds.
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: That puts you one step closer.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: To being able to really make a run in the tournament.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Were back in a moment our final thoughts ahead of
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: the Jaguars Steelers matchup. Practice is underway this week. The
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Jaguars are back from the Mini Buy the big matchup
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: of the AFC coming up in Week eight. That's Huddle
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Up with Bucky Brooks.
• 31:13
  Speaker 8: It tells the tale, you know. I mean it's significant
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: that you know, when the numbers favor us, you know,
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: chances are if you go back to the was the
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: Colts game, I think you know at seventeen points that
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: come off off of takeaways and that's huge. You know,
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: that's three possessions and you know it's big for our team.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: You have at the head coach on the takeaway number
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: for the Jags, number one in the NFL sixteen takeaways
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: this season. Welcome back. Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks is
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: brought to you by the Field's Auto Group, Jacksonville. Step
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: up to Luxury Fieldsauto dot Com. Week eate Jaguars Steelers Sunday,
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: one o'clock. Accrick, You're still at the confluence in Pittsburgh.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: The Jags, as we have said, have won seven of
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: the last nine trips to Pittsburgh, including playoff games dating
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: back to nineteen ninety nine. So big AFC matchup Jacks
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: coming off the many bye week. The Steelers have won
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: two in a row with a bye weekend between there
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: four and two, and good test for the Jags to
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: get see if they can continue this momentum of a
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: four game win streak and then a bye next week
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: and then the back end Bucky comes in with San
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: Francisco and all that. That's where it all kind of
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: really steps up another notch. But go get this one
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: done and get it in your back pocket at six
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: and two, and the bye week would be so sweet.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the best. The focus.
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: You don't even worry about San Francisco and what's coming
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: behind to buy This is about, Hey, let's finish the
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: first half of the season the right way. The Pittsburgh
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: Stellers are gonna be a stern test, just because we
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: talked about the physicality.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: And their style of play. If you beat the Pittsburgh.
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: Stellers, now everyone around the league is to take the
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: Jaguars a little more seriously in terms of how.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: They play, who they've beaten, the style of play.
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: We've kind of embraced a little bit of the greediness,
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: GrITT and grind. I've heard some of the guys talk
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: about it. I've heard for your little Kin kind of
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: reference like their kind.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: Of grimy style.
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: Well, if you beat the Pittsburgh Steelers at their own game,
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: then the league begins to kind of believe that, and
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: also know this San Francisco forty nine has put a
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: beat down on the Steelers because they overwhelmed them with their.
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: Physicality and toughness. The other Pets and those.
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: Guys, I'm sure have not talked about it, but I'm
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: sure that has been one of the things that's been discussed,
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: probably in the locker room.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: The way that you beat the bully, you got to
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: hit the bully, righting them out.
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: I would expect to see a very edgy Jaguars team
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: when they step on the field on Sunday.
• 33:44
  Speaker 7: Yeah, And I think people miss how physical this team
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: is because again there's so much emphasis. The buzz around
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: this team is still on over what they're not in
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: terms of rushing the passer, and when you're not a
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: quote big sack team, I think people can miss how
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: you play defensively. And to me, when you watch this
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: team play defense, they're they're very physical and they're very
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: hard to run against, and I think they can do
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: what Bucky's talking about, I guess is what I'm getting at.
• 34:19
  Speaker 7: It would not be surprising at all for them to
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: go up and for the Steelers to think after the game,
• 34:23
  Speaker 7: we were just in a very physical game. They're front seven,
• 34:26
  Speaker 7: this team's front seven, and even their defensive backs hit.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: So yeah, I think that's definitely the approach, and uh,
• 34:32
  Speaker 7: I think that's a style that again, I think they
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: think they can and should win the game, and I
• 34:37
  Speaker 7: think that's the way they're going to do it.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: Sounds like a plan to be We'll see what happens. Hey,
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: coming up tomorrow, it's jags Am John Is that right?
• 34:47
