- 0:25Speaker 2: Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks.
- 0:26Speaker 3: Busy show ahead.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Our last look at the Jets Jaguars will put that
- 0:30Speaker 2: one in the past because it's a massive game this Sunday,
- 0:35Speaker 2: our first look at the Jaguars Broncos matchup. The Broncos
- 0:38Speaker 2: the one seed currently the AFC playoff race.
- 0:41Speaker 3: They have secured a playoff spot.
- 0:42Speaker 2: The Jaguars currently the number three seed, they have secured
- 0:46Speaker 2: nothing yet in the playoff race. Trevor Lawrence against this
- 0:50Speaker 2: Broncos defense that rates very highly in most categories, if
- 0:54Speaker 2: not number one, and the Jaguars defense holding their own
- 0:57Speaker 2: certainly they're near the top in takeaway and run defense
- 1:01Speaker 2: number one against a mobile quarterback in bo Nix. We'll
- 1:05Speaker 2: see about that match up, and of course, the AFC
- 1:07Speaker 2: playoff picture is starting to clear up just a little bit,
- 1:11Speaker 2: but it could be some chaos in the next week
- 1:13Speaker 2: or so, huddle up with Bucky Brooks. Brought to you
- 1:15Speaker 2: by Field's Autogroup, Jacksonville. See Fields First, Jacksonville's premier luxury autogroup.
- 1:20Speaker 2: Go to Fieldsauto dot com. JP Shadwick John Osher from
- 1:24Speaker 2: the Hundai Studios. We're at the Miller Electric Center. Bucky
- 1:27Speaker 2: Brooks is back in Los Angeles. Win agains now and
- 1:31Speaker 2: good afternoon, Bucky is finally here. One versus three seeds,
- 1:35Speaker 2: massive December game.
- 1:37Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's a great time for the Jaguars to
- 1:41Speaker 4: go on the road take on the number one seed
- 1:43Speaker 4: into AFC.
- 1:45Speaker 5: Liam Cohen has played the disrespect card to a t and.
- 1:49Speaker 4: This is another opportunity to do that because the game
- 1:51Speaker 4: is not even a national feature game. It's in that
- 1:55Speaker 4: weird hour four or five Eastern whereas regional non national,
- 1:59Speaker 4: and so it's another fight for respect, but it's fight
- 2:03Speaker 4: for respect against a really, really good football team.
- 2:05Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think this is you know, look, I'm
- 2:08Speaker 6: not big into the respect card JP. You knew me
- 2:11Speaker 6: for a long time, and usually it's overplayed or played
- 2:15Speaker 6: when it shouldn't even be played, right, like you hear
- 2:18Speaker 6: you know this one is it's legitimate. I mean, the
- 2:23Speaker 6: Jaguars are are ten and two, I'm sorry, ten and four,
- 2:29Speaker 6: and you know, are playing as well, with apologies to
- 2:34Speaker 6: the Broncos, are playing as well as any team in
- 2:35Speaker 6: the AFC. I get that they haven't had the long
- 2:39Speaker 6: winning streak, but the Jaguars are beating people, you know,
- 2:42Speaker 6: and have beaten good teams all year. I've been saying
- 2:45Speaker 6: it all year. They if the Jaguars season belonged to
- 2:51Speaker 6: the Chiefs or a team that people thought was good,
- 2:56Speaker 6: this game would be playing up as a showdown. You know,
- 3:00Speaker 6: it's a showdown between the two top teams. So yeah,
- 3:05Speaker 6: play that card. Because I don't think in looking at
- 3:09Speaker 6: it objectively, I get the wrongers are favored by a
- 3:12Speaker 6: couple of points. I don't think this is a case.
- 3:16Speaker 6: This is not ninety six. When the Jaguars went out,
- 3:20Speaker 6: they came out of nowhere. They were a Cindere. The
- 3:23Speaker 6: Jaguars aren't a Cinderella. No, it's not long this fight, Buck, it's.
- 3:30Speaker 5: Not rocky, No, it's not. It's certainly not that. It's
- 3:34Speaker 5: not a rocky story.
- 3:35Speaker 4: To me, it's very reminiscent of when the Jaguars went
- 3:37Speaker 4: on the road early in the year against the forty
- 3:39Speaker 4: nine I think that game. I think they have a
- 3:42Speaker 4: lot of experience in these games from this season. That
- 3:45Speaker 4: game in itself, when we went on the road, there
- 3:47Speaker 4: were many people that thought the Jaguars would beat the
- 3:49Speaker 4: San Francisco forty nine Ers in their place, regardless of
- 3:52Speaker 4: how this season had started.
- 3:54Speaker 5: But to knock the Niners off that was huge.
- 3:57Speaker 4: I think they can take a lot of that experiencedn't
- 4:00Speaker 4: use here against the Broncos because I think it's a
- 4:03Speaker 4: similar environment in terms of the Denver Broncos are a
- 4:05Speaker 4: good team. They're tough to beat in their place, and
- 4:08Speaker 4: so you got to deal with not only that, but
- 4:11Speaker 4: you got to deal with the added element of the
- 4:14Speaker 4: altitude and all that other stuff that comes into play
- 4:16Speaker 4: when you go to Denver.
- 4:17Speaker 6: Yeah, it's sort of like John Madden used to always say,
- 4:22Speaker 6: tell me the big game before the game.
- 4:25Speaker 3: Or tell me when there's a little game.
- 4:28Speaker 6: You know, yeah, because to me, they seem to beat
- 4:30Speaker 6: the Chargers, that's a big game, and they beat them bad.
- 4:35Speaker 6: So I think people are like, oh, it's just a charge. Well,
- 4:37Speaker 6: charge to ten and four the San Francisco forty nine Ers.
- 4:40Speaker 6: Was that not a big game. You know, they're ten
- 4:44Speaker 6: and four. The Chiefs felt like a pretty big game
- 4:46Speaker 6: to me at the time, and I get that they're
- 4:49Speaker 6: not all that now, but they're a tough out. Ask
- 4:54Speaker 6: any team that's played them this year if they were
- 4:56Speaker 6: a tough out or not. And they've got three of
- 4:59Speaker 6: those kind of wins. They've beaten the Texans. So I'm
- 5:02Speaker 6: with Bucky. I don't think this team is going out
- 5:05Speaker 6: there thinking, oh the mighty Broncos, I mean, any respect him.
- 5:09Speaker 6: I mean, it's gonna be tough, But the Jaguars or
- 5:13Speaker 6: anybody watching the Jaguars should not feel like this team
- 5:16Speaker 6: doesn't belong in the same field as anybody in the
- 5:18Speaker 6: National Football League right now. This is a matchup of
- 5:20Speaker 6: two good teams.
- 5:21Speaker 2: Absolutely, and we'll get into the matchups head to head
- 5:25Speaker 2: Broncos defense against Trevor Lawrence and company and vice versa.
- 5:28Speaker 2: Jaguars defense against Bodnicks coming up in just a little bit.
- 5:31Speaker 2: Speaking of Trevor Lawrence, of course, coming off a career
- 5:35Speaker 2: game highs in rating, touchdown passes and total touchdowns five
- 5:39Speaker 2: through the air, six total in the game, you know,
- 5:41Speaker 2: forty eight to twenty to win over the Jets, and
- 5:44Speaker 2: he was asked today the quarterback, you know, does it
- 5:47Speaker 2: feel different than I did earlier in his career.
- 5:50Speaker 7: I mean, I feel like I'm seeing it really well.
- 5:53Speaker 7: I think I'm throwing it well, just offensively. In general,
- 5:57Speaker 7: it's not just it's never about just one guy. I
- 5:59Speaker 7: think just as an all fence for really SYNCD up
- 6:02Speaker 7: right now, especially in the passing game and protecting up front.
- 6:05Speaker 7: I mean, you can't do anything without that. And those
- 6:06Speaker 7: guys have done an awesome job, and guys are making
- 6:09Speaker 7: a ton of plays down the field. We all have
- 6:10Speaker 7: a lot of confidence in what we're doing. It just
- 6:12Speaker 7: seems like we got the ball roll in the last
- 6:13Speaker 7: few weeks, So it feels good.
- 6:16Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 6:16Speaker 7: I don't know what to answer a question about compared
- 6:18Speaker 7: to other stretches of my career. I mean, it just
- 6:20Speaker 7: feels like I'm seeing it well, feels like it's coming
- 6:22Speaker 7: out good. Like I said, guys are making plays, we're
- 6:25Speaker 7: trusting each other, and it's been fun. So we just
- 6:26Speaker 7: shout to keep it rolling.
- 6:27Speaker 2: So that's Trevor Lawrence of course. The full press conference
- 6:29Speaker 2: at Jaguars dot Com. Nine touchdown passes, no interceptions the
- 6:33Speaker 2: last three weeks and his rise obviously is part of
- 6:38Speaker 2: this Jaguars trend forward on the offensive side here, and
- 6:41Speaker 2: it is John really great to see finally getting some
- 6:46Speaker 2: traction in the passing year.
- 6:47Speaker 6: Yep, I think what I like here Buck when I
- 6:49Speaker 6: listen to him and even when I watch him. Look,
- 6:53Speaker 6: he had the game of his career last week. Did
- 6:55Speaker 6: it feel like a big deal to him? Meaning?
- 6:59Speaker 5: I don't.
- 7:00Speaker 6: I think he necessarily thought. He played out of his
- 7:02Speaker 6: mind to have this game, And I think that's significant
- 7:07Speaker 6: when I watch him right now. He had six touchdowns.
- 7:11Speaker 6: It was obviously an outlier stat wise, but it didn't
- 7:15Speaker 6: feel to me, Bucky like he played all that much
- 7:17Speaker 6: better than he had for the last two three games
- 7:20Speaker 6: since the end of Arizona. And I think that's what
- 7:22Speaker 6: I like is he doesn't have to play above himself
- 7:24Speaker 6: to play this well.
- 7:26Speaker 4: Yeah, John, There's so many different things to like about
- 7:29Speaker 4: how Trevor's playing, how this offense is clicking. First, let's
- 7:32Speaker 4: talk about the quarterback. The quarterback is playing well. He
- 7:34Speaker 4: has a lot of confidence, he's letting it go. And
- 7:37Speaker 4: I've tried to get people to ignore the completion percentage
- 7:40Speaker 4: numbers and just watch the game and look at how
- 7:42Speaker 4: he's playing, feel the confidence that he's exuding and the
- 7:46Speaker 4: plays that he's making. That type window throw right there
- 7:48Speaker 4: to Brion Thomas was a dart and so many of
- 7:51Speaker 4: the plays that he's making not only with his arms,
- 7:53Speaker 4: but here with his legs where he takes this one in.
- 7:55Speaker 4: It is a different Trevor Lawrence in terms of he's
- 7:58Speaker 4: fully embraced whoever he is going to be, and that
- 8:03Speaker 4: has really unlocked all of the super powers that we've
- 8:05Speaker 4: seen from him the other part of the offense, because
- 8:07Speaker 4: he talked about the offense being in sync very early
- 8:10Speaker 4: in my career, first as a stout, I had a
- 8:12Speaker 4: coach tell me that the job of a coordinator is
- 8:16Speaker 4: to make sure that in a league for the specialists,
- 8:18Speaker 4: we put the specialists in the right position so they
- 8:21Speaker 4: can play to their superpower. When you're looking at this team,
- 8:24Speaker 4: the acquisition of Jacobe Myers allowed him to be the
- 8:27Speaker 4: number one to do the dirty work. Parker Washington having
- 8:30Speaker 4: more opportunities to work the middle of the field and
- 8:32Speaker 4: to do some special things on catch and run. Brian
- 8:34Speaker 4: Thomas Junior being slotted in a position where he's running
- 8:37Speaker 4: vertical rouse and outbreaking routes. So now the things that
- 8:40Speaker 4: he wasn't doing well early in the season, they've been
- 8:43Speaker 4: minimized because they're not asking him to do it. Travis
- 8:46Speaker 4: Aden catching the ball out of the backfield on top
- 8:49Speaker 4: of doing the duties as a running back, and in
- 8:51Speaker 4: Brenton Strange coming in doing what he does as a
- 8:53Speaker 4: tight end. Everyone has been positioned in a spot that
- 8:56Speaker 4: they're only asked to play to their strengths, and that
- 8:59Speaker 4: is why we're seeing this offense role because, as the
- 9:02Speaker 4: coach told me, when you play to your strengths, you
- 9:04Speaker 4: hav no weaknesses.
- 9:05Speaker 5: And that's what we're seeing from this offense.
- 9:06Speaker 3: Just be who you are.
- 9:08Speaker 2: That's what James Gladstone talks about when he's bringing players
- 9:12Speaker 2: into the building. Just we want you to be no
- 9:14Speaker 2: more than who you are, and that's what we're seeing
- 9:16Speaker 2: on offense.
- 9:17Speaker 6: Do I have time to ask the analyst a question?
- 9:19Speaker 3: Sure?
- 9:21Speaker 6: You said right before you stopped in the middle of
- 9:26Speaker 6: what you just said, you said something about Trevor Lawrence
- 9:29Speaker 6: embracing what he is. Expand on that.
- 9:34Speaker 4: I think a lot of times I think Trevor by nature,
- 9:37Speaker 4: this is just me observing him from the time he
- 9:39Speaker 4: was a teenager.
- 9:41Speaker 5: I think he's a people pleaser.
- 9:42Speaker 4: I think he wants to make everyone happy, and sometimes
- 9:45Speaker 4: in trying to make everyone happy, maybe he moves away
- 9:49Speaker 4: from who he really is as a player and trying
- 9:53Speaker 4: to I'm gonna fit this mold that this person wants
- 9:56Speaker 4: me to be. I think what Liam has done is
- 9:58Speaker 4: try to just get him to a and just playing.
- 10:00Speaker 4: I'll make it right around you, or will make it
- 10:02Speaker 4: right around you. Don't worry about the mistakes, don't worry
- 10:05Speaker 4: about playing perfect in those things. And I think that's
- 10:08Speaker 4: also the perfectionist quality is part of being a people pleaser.
- 10:12Speaker 4: And I think in kind of freeing him from those
- 10:15Speaker 4: chains of trying to be perfect, I think we've allowed
- 10:18Speaker 4: him to be aggressive. He's not reckless, but he's being
- 10:21Speaker 4: very aggressive and letting it go and playing with confidence
- 10:24Speaker 4: and those things. And by doing that, I mean, look,
- 10:27Speaker 4: I'll say this is the best version of Trevor that
- 10:29Speaker 4: I've seen since he was at Clemson in terms of
- 10:31Speaker 4: like fully making all of these throws, all the superpowers
- 10:35Speaker 4: that he's been touted on having.
- 10:37Speaker 5: We're seeing it all.
- 10:38Speaker 4: Play out and full time, and I'm saying it's not
- 10:41Speaker 4: necessarily reflected on the stat sheet, but it certainly is
- 10:45Speaker 4: what you feel when you're on the sideline watching him
- 10:48Speaker 4: and watching this offense operate with him and to him.
- 10:51Speaker 2: It's a great sign for the Jaguars team down the
- 10:53Speaker 2: stretch front of the regular season and hopefully beyond deep
- 10:56Speaker 2: end to the postseason with the quarterback playing in a
- 10:58Speaker 2: high level. We will come back in a moment and
- 11:01Speaker 2: we'll take a look at this matchup or matchups, plenty
- 11:05Speaker 2: of them in this Jaguars Broncos game coming up in
- 11:08Speaker 2: week sixteen. The one seed Broncos the three seed Jaguars.
- 11:12Speaker 2: For the moment, it'll be a massive football game. First
- 11:16Speaker 2: Jags regular season game with both teams entering with ten
- 11:19Speaker 2: or more wins since Week.
- 11:20Speaker 3: Sixteen of nineteen ninety nine. Massive game in the regular season.

- 11:35Speaker 2: with Bucky Brooks.
- 11:43Speaker 8: And they'll go play competitive, meaningful game in December. Is
- 11:47Speaker 8: really what it comes down to. In a you know,
- 11:49Speaker 8: hostile environment, you know, very quality opponent, team that's won
- 11:55Speaker 8: the fourth quarter in a lot of football games over
- 11:58Speaker 8: the last two years, and so it's a great opportunity
- 12:01Speaker 8: for us to go, you know, compete and earn everything
- 12:05Speaker 8: we get.
- 12:06Speaker 2: Hey coach William Cohen earlier today full press conference at
- 12:09Speaker 2: Jaguars dot Com Jaguars YouTube.
- 12:11Speaker 3: We'll hear more from him coming up shortly.
- 12:13Speaker 2: It is huddle up with Bucky Brooks, JP Shadrick, John Ozer,
- 12:15Speaker 2: and Jacksonville Bucky Brooks out in Los Angeles. The Jaguars
- 12:19Speaker 2: and the Broncos. Big time matchup of a teams in
- 12:22Speaker 2: the playoff race. The Broncos have secured a playoff spot,
- 12:26Speaker 2: but the Jaguars have not as of yet. They can
- 12:29Speaker 2: secure a spot with a win this week over the
- 12:32Speaker 2: Broncos and either a.
- 12:34Speaker 3: Texans or Colts loss.
- 12:36Speaker 2: That would put the Jaguars officially in the playoffs this
- 12:39Speaker 2: week and not an easy task against the Denver Broncos.
- 12:43Speaker 2: In this fantastic defense, they lead the league in sacks.
- 12:47Speaker 2: They are number one in red zone, number one in
- 12:49Speaker 2: third down. They do a lot of things really well.
- 12:53Speaker 2: Number two in rush defense behind the Jaguars third and scoring.
- 12:58Speaker 2: They don't take the ball away too much, but John
- 13:01Speaker 2: they do everything else pretty much well.
- 13:03Speaker 6: Yeah, And I'm curious because Bucky obviously gets a chance
- 13:06Speaker 6: to watch more teams than we do. Bucky, is the
- 13:12Speaker 6: reason for their quote lack of takeaways? Is there scheme
- 13:18Speaker 6: stuff in that, Like do they do certain things that
- 13:21Speaker 6: they just attack very well and they're not as concerned
- 13:24Speaker 6: about takeaways for that reason.
- 13:27Speaker 5: No, Like what the Broncos have done is really interesting.
- 13:30Speaker 4: They are a pretty basic defense in terms of it's
- 13:34Speaker 4: a lot of four man pressures. They do what they
- 13:37Speaker 4: call simulated pressures, so it's four guys coming, but that
- 13:40Speaker 4: fourth guy can come from the second or third level.
- 13:43Speaker 4: But it's not considered a blist because only four guys
- 13:45Speaker 4: are going after the quarterback. But they are very very
- 13:48Speaker 4: balanced when it comes to their pass rush. If you
- 13:50Speaker 4: look at the numbers, Nick Benito, John Cooper, Zach Allen
- 13:55Speaker 4: are the guys that are the primary sackers. But it's
- 13:58Speaker 4: crazy because they have this four rush and then they
- 14:01Speaker 4: play what is kind of you're here, Liam referred to
- 14:03Speaker 4: kind of like man match coverage behind it, where it's
- 14:07Speaker 4: man to man, but on certain cross and routes and things,
- 14:10Speaker 4: they'll switch and pass it off and it's kind of
- 14:14Speaker 4: jumbled for the quarterback to figure out what they're doing
- 14:17Speaker 4: and what is it?
- 14:21Speaker 5: Nickelodeon, It's like slime. So remember Nickelodeon.
- 14:24Speaker 4: If they put the slime ony, it's just kind of
- 14:25Speaker 4: gooey and you just can't figure out what they're doing.
- 14:28Speaker 4: They make it very, very difficult for the quarterback to
- 14:31Speaker 4: decipher what's going on. But the receivers on the outside
- 14:35Speaker 4: they have to win their one on one matchups. And
- 14:37Speaker 4: I'm being honest, they got a great collection of DB's
- 14:40Speaker 4: passer ten. The second is reigning Defensive Player of the
- 14:44Speaker 4: Year Roley Moss is good. They got other young guys
- 14:47Speaker 4: in the back end playing. It's a very talented defense,
- 14:51Speaker 4: a well constructed scheme, and they just get after the
- 14:54Speaker 4: ball with great passion. It would be very similar to
- 14:58Speaker 4: facing the Houston Texans defense. I think that's the best
- 15:00Speaker 4: comparison that I.
- 15:01Speaker 5: Could give it.
- 15:02Speaker 6: But are the are the Broncos as just all out
- 15:09Speaker 6: physical upfront as the Texans seem to be, or are
- 15:13Speaker 6: they more speed and get there with athleticism the Jaguars
- 15:16Speaker 6: trouble that day.
- 15:18Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I would say they have physicality, but they
- 15:22Speaker 4: are definitely a more speed athletic oriented defense, and.
- 15:25Speaker 5: That's not being disrespectful to how they get down there.
- 15:28Speaker 4: I would say that of the two, if you compare
- 15:30Speaker 4: the Broncos to the Texans, the Texans do it with
- 15:33Speaker 4: force and feistiness on top of the talent, whereas the
- 15:37Speaker 4: Broncos are fast. They do a great job of matching
- 15:40Speaker 4: up and doing the things in coverage and they go
- 15:43Speaker 4: And I think it's because of the make of Vance Johnson.
- 15:46Speaker 4: Vance Joseph is a former defensive back, so a lot
- 15:49Speaker 4: of it is more coverage base where Demiko Ryan's linebacker
- 15:53Speaker 4: coming downhill, which is more front physical that's imposed, I
- 15:57Speaker 4: will on you. But both great defenses, but this Broncos
- 16:00Speaker 4: defense is legit and I just can't wait for the
- 16:03Speaker 4: challenge because to me, this will be the biggest defensive
- 16:07Speaker 4: challenge that the Jaguars offense has faced. And we're talking
- 16:10Speaker 4: about the offense has put up twenty five plus points
- 16:12Speaker 4: in seven straight games.
- 16:13Speaker 6: Wow, bigger than the Rams and Seahawks. Wow, because Seahawks
- 16:16Speaker 6: are I.
- 16:17Speaker 5: Mean, that's just good. Yeah.
- 16:21Speaker 4: I think the difference between the Seahawks and the Broncos
- 16:25Speaker 4: comes to the back end, and we're seartaining the second
- 16:28Speaker 4: being back just being able to lock up. But that
- 16:31Speaker 4: once again, Johnny, you talking about that's another good defense.
- 16:33Speaker 4: That's why when we talk about big games and everyone
- 16:36Speaker 4: is making a big difference, we've seen about is a
- 16:39Speaker 4: good as slate of teams as you can find. Like,
- 16:42Speaker 4: if we're not ready in terms of this game and
- 16:46Speaker 4: who we're facing, then we just have done a disservice
- 16:49Speaker 4: in terms of getting prepared. But we faced all the
- 16:51Speaker 4: heavy hitters that you can possibly face on a regular
- 16:54Speaker 4: season schedule.
- 16:55Speaker 3: Yeah, how do you attack it? This defense? How would
- 16:58Speaker 3: you go about it?
- 17:00Speaker 5: Man?
- 17:00Speaker 4: Look, I think Liam is really really good at attacking
- 17:04Speaker 4: those things and understanding schemes and the way that you
- 17:09Speaker 4: can kind of understand the rules.
- 17:11Speaker 5: And put them in binds.
- 17:13Speaker 4: And what he did last week against the Jests is
- 17:15Speaker 4: he compromised the integrity of the rules, which led to
- 17:18Speaker 4: some wide open receivers. What I anticipate the Jaguars doing
- 17:23Speaker 4: is studying all these old tapes of this defense and
- 17:27Speaker 4: trying to figure out what has been most successful against
- 17:29Speaker 4: these teams within our offense.
- 17:32Speaker 5: But I don't think you change a lot of what
- 17:34Speaker 5: you do.
- 17:35Speaker 4: I think the running backs will be critical because there's
- 17:38Speaker 4: an advantage that Travis Etienne should be able to have
- 17:41Speaker 4: on their linebackers in terms of getting in space and
- 17:43Speaker 4: being able to create. But ultimately it's gonna come down
- 17:46Speaker 4: to our wide receiver's ability to.
- 17:48Speaker 5: Win their one on one matchups.
- 17:50Speaker 4: And I think if anything, I talk like glowingly about
- 17:55Speaker 4: Patrick Sirtanda second, but I'm gonna tell you Riley Moss
- 17:59Speaker 4: has been the guy that teams have targeted and give
- 18:01Speaker 4: him credit. He is a terrific corner, but I would
- 18:04Speaker 4: think he is going to be the guy that you
- 18:06Speaker 4: attack a few different times to see if you can
- 18:08Speaker 4: get a big play on him.
- 18:09Speaker 3: Yeah, or a pass interference.
- 18:10Speaker 2: He's got twelve penalties this year, ten pass interference calls
- 18:13Speaker 2: John against him.
- 18:14Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 18:14Speaker 6: And I'll tell you what's impressive is again, I've talked
- 18:17Speaker 6: about it all year. I'm not sure I've ever seen
- 18:20Speaker 6: a group and we're doing thirty years. I'm sure I have.
- 18:24Speaker 6: But the way that this receiver corps for the Jaguars
- 18:30Speaker 6: has gone from what we thought it was going to
- 18:33Speaker 6: be to uh, oh, what's going on here too?
- 18:38Speaker 3: Now?
- 18:39Speaker 6: Going into a game where you are playing a defensive
- 18:42Speaker 6: backfield that's high end. I was asked this morning by somebody, well,
- 18:46Speaker 6: what if they put certain you know, do they travel
- 18:49Speaker 6: certain is he going to take away Jacoby or BTJ?
- 18:54Speaker 6: I started thinking, I guess I don't really care because
- 18:59Speaker 6: you know Jaguars perspective. If you try to take away
- 19:04Speaker 6: Jacoby Myers, which is a legitimate thing, don't you feel
- 19:08Speaker 6: good now that, Hey, we can go to Parker, Washington,
- 19:11Speaker 6: we can go to Britain. Strange, we can go to Travis, CTN.
- 19:14Speaker 6: The way they have turned themselves into an offense with
- 19:18Speaker 6: legitimate options against any scheme, against anything. Again, I think
- 19:24Speaker 6: it's out of the many storylines of this team, and
- 19:27Speaker 6: there has been a lot that to me is now
- 19:30Speaker 6: you're going in the December football where I think the
- 19:33Speaker 6: Broncos are as concerned about that as the Jaguars are
- 19:36Speaker 6: about the Broncos secondary.
- 19:39Speaker 4: Yeah, John's interesting when you talk about their wide receiver
- 19:43Speaker 4: core in those things the game. That is of note
- 19:46Speaker 4: to me for the Denver Broncos because we're talking about
- 19:48Speaker 4: them being a superpower. But I also want to keep
- 19:50Speaker 4: in mind that the New York Giants were dominating them
- 19:53Speaker 4: in the middle of the season and end up losing
- 19:55Speaker 4: thirty three to thirty two, but a very balanced attack
- 19:59Speaker 4: gave them a lot of albums. And the thing that
- 20:01Speaker 4: the Giants did is they work the underneath areas of coverage.
- 20:04Speaker 5: They work the tight.
- 20:05Speaker 4: Ends, two of them successfully. They got the ball to
- 20:08Speaker 4: the back out of the backfield successfully, and they work
- 20:12Speaker 4: the middle of the field.
- 20:13Speaker 5: Given how our team is constructed, I.
- 20:16Speaker 4: Could see a similar game plan where we're really working
- 20:19Speaker 4: the middle of the field, We're getting the ball, We're
- 20:21Speaker 4: using formations and shifts to kind of create advantageous matchups
- 20:25Speaker 4: where we're getting six and eight and ten yard games.
- 20:29Speaker 4: This may not be and I don't anticipate it being
- 20:32Speaker 4: an explosives game. This may be a game where can
- 20:35Speaker 4: you control the game nickel and diming, And then it's
- 20:39Speaker 4: gonna come down to the red zone. We need to
- 20:41Speaker 4: get sevens and not settle for threes, and then we're
- 20:44Speaker 4: gonna have to make some tough decisions on fourth and shorts.
- 20:47Speaker 4: Do we kick it or do we go? And those
- 20:49Speaker 4: decisions will ultimately decide whether we walk out the stadium.
- 20:52Speaker 5: As win as the losers.
- 20:53Speaker 6: I think Liam's going.
- 20:54Speaker 3: I think he's probably gonna go more than he does. Yeah, probably, Yes,
- 21:00Speaker 3: we're back in a moment.
- 21:01Speaker 2: We'll dig into the Jaguars defensive matchup this week against
- 21:05Speaker 2: bow Knicks and the Denver Broncos, the one seed hosting
- 21:11Speaker 2: the three seed, the Broncos hosting the Jags is Sunday
- 21:14Speaker 2: in Week sixteen. A Tuddle Up with Bucky Brooks's.
- 21:21Speaker 8: Combo, Right, we watched it today, A bunch of clips
- 21:24Speaker 8: of it this morning as a team, and how much
- 21:27Speaker 8: in unison that is and how much that does play
- 21:31Speaker 8: a part? You know, showed some clips of guys, you know,
- 21:34Speaker 8: feeling like they had something covered or may have had
- 21:37Speaker 8: him down or corralled, and then the play is not over.
- 21:42Speaker 8: It's definitely one of those things that's one of his
- 21:45Speaker 8: best traits is just going to being a football player
- 21:48Speaker 8: as a coach's son who understands the game.
- 21:52Speaker 2: That said coach of course, Liam Cohen earlier today discussing
- 21:55Speaker 2: bo Nicks and the plan against him, a little bit
- 21:59Speaker 2: of the plan against him more rushed more coverage. Well,
- 22:01Speaker 2: it's everybody, and welcome back. It's Toddle Up with Bucky Brooks, JP, Shadrick,
- 22:05Speaker 2: John Ozer and yes, Bucky Brooks in time for our
- 22:08Speaker 2: defensive coverage of the game, presented by GEH Government Employees
- 22:12Speaker 2: Health Association Benefits for federal employees and retirees. And we
- 22:16Speaker 2: take a look at the comparison between these two defenses.
- 22:19Speaker 2: We saw some of the Broncos numbers earlier. Well, the
- 22:22Speaker 2: Jaguars no slaughs themselves. Top ten total defense, number one
- 22:26Speaker 2: still against the run in the NFL.
- 22:28Speaker 3: Third downs, eh red.
- 22:31Speaker 2: Zone, middle of the pack, second in the league in
- 22:33Speaker 2: takeaways twenty six of those this year, and a top
- 22:36Speaker 2: ten scoring defense. And yes, they're going against Bodnicks this weekend,
- 22:42Speaker 2: and he hasn't been pressured a lot this year. They've
- 22:46Speaker 2: only allowed seventeen sacks. He's mobile when he is successful
- 22:51Speaker 2: like he was last week, certainly Bucky five touchdown passes.
- 22:55Speaker 2: Where does he find that success and how does this
- 22:58Speaker 2: Jaguars defense bob.
- 23:01Speaker 4: Look, I'm gonna say this, he's a really good player
- 23:04Speaker 4: and he's always been a good player, particularly after he.
- 23:06Speaker 5: Made his move to Oregon. He has a lot of experience,
- 23:09Speaker 5: and what.
- 23:10Speaker 4: Sean Payton does is he appeals to his intelligence and
- 23:14Speaker 4: his athleticism. They put a lot on his shoulders, they
- 23:17Speaker 4: ask him to do a lot of DeLine of scrimmage,
- 23:19Speaker 4: but then they put him on the move where he
- 23:20Speaker 4: can operate as a run pass threat on the perimeter,
- 23:24Speaker 4: and what he is is a great decision maker on
- 23:27Speaker 4: the move. He will put you in bonds, he will
- 23:29Speaker 4: find the open guy down the field. He will tucking
- 23:32Speaker 4: and run when he needs to. He doesn't take big hits.
- 23:34Speaker 4: He is just a really, really good football player. And
- 23:37Speaker 4: because he's so experienced, and because he is a look,
- 23:40Speaker 4: he's a team guy. Sean Payton coaches him hard, but
- 23:44Speaker 4: he responds to it. He is a very efficient and
- 23:47Speaker 4: effective quarterback, and you have to take different parts of
- 23:51Speaker 4: their offensive way to kind of get him.
- 23:54Speaker 5: I would say, unnerved. You got to stop the running game.
- 23:57Speaker 4: So the running game, then can negate some of the
- 24:00Speaker 4: play action passing game that he does well. And then
- 24:02Speaker 4: you've got to make sure that you eliminate the big plays.
- 24:04Speaker 4: Courtland a sudden Marvin, ma'am. Some of these guys can
- 24:07Speaker 4: get down the field, take away the big pay make
- 24:09Speaker 4: them play dink and dunk, and then you've got to
- 24:11Speaker 4: be great in the red zone.
- 24:12Speaker 5: I think that's the way you have to play.
- 24:14Speaker 4: The Broncos are gonna move the football, so it's not
- 24:16Speaker 4: about shutting them down, but it's about making sure if
- 24:19Speaker 4: they do get to the red zone, they have to
- 24:21Speaker 4: kick it. They don't necessarily punch it in for.
- 24:24Speaker 6: Some Yeah, I think too, but it sounds like this
- 24:27Speaker 6: is also one of those games where you don't want
- 24:28Speaker 6: your defensive backs like got pounding on the ground after plays.
- 24:32Speaker 6: You know, and I say that a lot, but there
- 24:34Speaker 6: are certain games where you know the takeaway opportunities when
- 24:38Speaker 6: they're there, you know you want to take advantage of them.
- 24:42Speaker 6: Last week they got somebody feel like they were going
- 24:43Speaker 6: to win without them. The Jaguars, after that hot start
- 24:49Speaker 6: with takeaways, have done a remarkable job of sort of
- 24:53Speaker 6: maintaining their pace at a good pace late in the season.
- 24:57Speaker 6: Bo Nicks, it seems to me, is a quarterback. You'll
- 25:01Speaker 6: get a couple of shots, and you got to get
- 25:03Speaker 6: them when you can and keep him in the pocket.
- 25:06Speaker 6: That's a big part of this game is making sure
- 25:09Speaker 6: that he's not outside when they design him to be outside. Okay,
- 25:15Speaker 6: but don't let him escape and have a game where
- 25:19Speaker 6: he gets a chance to create a lot of magic.
- 25:22Speaker 3: Bucky who scares you in their wide receiver corps.
- 25:26Speaker 4: I mean Courtland Sudden is the main one. Just because
- 25:29Speaker 4: it's size, they can throw it down to him. He's
- 25:31Speaker 4: terrific in terms of taking the ball off the top.
- 25:34Speaker 4: But they have a ton of playmakers. I mean, obviously
- 25:36Speaker 4: when we see our old guy Evan Ingram work in
- 25:38Speaker 4: the middle of the field, they can do it by
- 25:40Speaker 4: a committee. Troy Franklin is a guy who has some
- 25:42Speaker 4: speed that can get by you.
- 25:44Speaker 5: But they're very similar to us.
- 25:47Speaker 4: I think we're almost looking at a clone their by
- 25:50Speaker 4: committee situation. Like they're not a lot of all stars
- 25:53Speaker 4: or guys that the league would recognize it's all stars,
- 25:56Speaker 4: but collectively they kind of come together and when they're
- 25:58Speaker 4: in rhythm in a unit working I mean working together,
- 26:01Speaker 4: and they're in a flow, they're very very difficult thing.
- 26:03Speaker 4: But I'm gonna say this and JP will understand it.
- 26:07Speaker 4: It's still the same bow Knicks that I saw at
- 26:08Speaker 4: Auburn at times, so that bow Knicks will show up
- 26:11Speaker 4: and the Jaguars have to make sure that they can
- 26:14Speaker 4: bring that bow Knicks from Auburn to show for I
- 26:16Speaker 4: know a lot of people that have been around the
- 26:18Speaker 4: SEC they remember that bow Knicks and so when I
- 26:21Speaker 4: wax poetically about bow Knicks, I know it's hard for
- 26:24Speaker 4: those people that have been down in the South that have.
- 26:26Speaker 5: Seen him with the Tigers to be like man bow
- 26:29Speaker 5: Knicks is really a dude. I mean, he's a dude.
- 26:31Speaker 5: We'll put an asteris by.
- 26:33Speaker 2: Yeah, he had that that classic deer in the headlights
- 26:36Speaker 2: look at times on the planes before he went out
- 26:38Speaker 2: to Eugene and got a little of that magic out there.
- 26:42Speaker 2: So see if the Jaguars defense can get that done
- 26:45Speaker 2: this week. Hey, we're back at a moment and we'll
- 26:48Speaker 2: get our final thoughts. It's a big ball game. It's
- 26:51Speaker 2: a relliant big ball game. It's the next ball game.
- 26:54Speaker 3: Job is it it?
- 26:56Speaker 6: Yes, you cannot deny that.
- 26:58Speaker 2: It is the next one up, and it's the Jaguars
- 27:01Speaker 2: and the Broncos in week sixteen. Coming up, it's huddle
- 27:03Speaker 2: up with Bucky Brooks.
- 27:10Speaker 8: The collaboration chemistry between the players and coaches as well,
- 27:16Speaker 8: you know, the trust level I think is maybe a
- 27:19Speaker 8: little bit more collaborative and unique at this time in
- 27:24Speaker 8: terms of Look, we've been through a lot of games together,
- 27:27Speaker 8: We've been through a lot of weeks, a lot of practices,
- 27:29Speaker 8: a lot of walkthroughs, a lot of meetings, and I
- 27:31Speaker 8: think at this point in the season, there's a trust
- 27:35Speaker 8: level between all of us that I think they trust
- 27:38Speaker 8: that We're trying to put them in the best position
- 27:40Speaker 8: to be successful, and I trust that they're going to
- 27:42Speaker 8: go out and play their ass off every Sunday. So
- 27:45Speaker 8: that's something that's pretty fun to watch.
- 27:48Speaker 2: Liam Cohen earlier today full press conference at Jaguars dot com.
- 27:52Speaker 3: Welcome back.
- 27:53Speaker 2: It's Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks. Brought to you by
- 27:55Speaker 2: Fields Auto Group, Jacksonville. See Fields First, Jacksonville from your
- 28:00Speaker 2: luxury auto group. Go to Fieldsauto dot com. The Broncos
- 28:04Speaker 2: hosting the Jaguars this Sunday and power Field at Mile
- 28:07Speaker 2: High the site. Seventy six thousand fans or so expected
- 28:11Speaker 2: to be in attendance. And you know what we're talking
- 28:14Speaker 2: about quarterbacks a moment ago. There's a pretty close comparison
- 28:18Speaker 2: in terms of statistics between Trevor.
- 28:21Speaker 3: Lawrence and bow Nicks this season.
- 28:22Speaker 2: Nearly identical passing yardage, identical touchdown passes, close in interceptions,
- 28:28Speaker 2: the rating is almost spot on. Nick's has thrown at
- 28:32Speaker 2: about fifty more times or so. That's really the only
- 28:35Speaker 2: difference in completed it a little bit more of Yeah.
- 28:38Speaker 6: Look, I walked in after the game the other night
- 28:43Speaker 6: and saw Bucky recovering from his sickness, and I kind
- 28:49Speaker 6: of told people sitting in there and say, hey, we
- 28:50Speaker 6: got a quarterback. I mean, and it's interesting, Bucky how
- 28:56Speaker 6: it's sort of the Jaguars have been getting better and
- 29:03Speaker 6: it feels like they've been adding strengths through the course
- 29:06Speaker 6: of the season. At first, the pass rush was not
- 29:10Speaker 6: a strength. I don't know if it's elite yet, but
- 29:13Speaker 6: it feels like it's there. The offensive line has been
- 29:17Speaker 6: a building block putting in place, The receiver corps has
- 29:20Speaker 6: been rebuilt, and then all of a sudden, you take
- 29:23Speaker 6: all that and you plug into the mix. Hey, guess what,
- 29:26Speaker 6: this guy might be elite, you know, and elite's a
- 29:29Speaker 6: big word. He's not elite yet, but he's sure playing
- 29:33Speaker 6: like it. So you've added this What an incredible dessert
- 29:39Speaker 6: topping to throw on the meal at the you know,
- 29:42Speaker 6: because that's the guess what. That's the most important topic
- 29:46Speaker 6: is that quarterback. But I feel like it's all coming together.
- 29:50Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, John, Look, both of you guys have
- 29:53Speaker 4: been around the organization for a long time, and I
- 29:55Speaker 4: would say that this is one of the better coaching
- 29:56Speaker 4: jobs that I've ever seen in terms of how the
- 29:59Speaker 4: team starts and the way the team is finishing and
- 30:02Speaker 4: how the team has continued to improve over the course
- 30:05Speaker 4: of the season. You always hear about great coaches talk
- 30:08Speaker 4: about we want to play our best ball at the
- 30:11Speaker 4: end of the season, but there's a process to being
- 30:13Speaker 4: able to do that, and some of that process can
- 30:15Speaker 4: be ugly, because we went through some ugly moments, some
- 30:17Speaker 4: ugly stretches and those things, and all the drops with
- 30:20Speaker 4: the wide receivers, the musical chairs with the offensive line,
- 30:25Speaker 4: weeks and weeks without having a pass rush or registering.
- 30:27Speaker 5: A sack up front.
- 30:29Speaker 4: But the consistency of the coaching staff and delivering the message,
- 30:33Speaker 4: the consistency of doing the same things weekly, not changing
- 30:38Speaker 4: the practice routine, not changing the schemes, not overall in things,
- 30:42Speaker 4: chasing the result, but really focusing on the process has
- 30:45Speaker 4: paid off because the.
- 30:47Speaker 5: Team has just gotten better.
- 30:49Speaker 4: And now you're looking at a really, really good team
- 30:52Speaker 4: that is playing its best ball in the most pivotal
- 30:55Speaker 4: part of the season.
- 30:56Speaker 5: And so I'm just excited for that. And regardless of
- 30:59Speaker 5: the result that.
- 31:00Speaker 4: People are talking about on Sunday, I think the feeling
- 31:03Speaker 4: is this team is going to play well once we
- 31:07Speaker 4: get into the tournament, and I think that's very, very
- 31:09Speaker 4: exciting for everyone around the Jacks.
- 31:11Speaker 5: Yeah, it's.
- 31:13Speaker 6: A Trevor is in an interesting spot because so many
- 31:17Speaker 6: people wrote him off and so many people just start
- 31:21Speaker 6: to saying, Oh, he's this or he's that. What he
- 31:26Speaker 6: is now is a guy playing at a pretty high level.
- 31:30Speaker 6: He's got experience in these games. Remember, I mean, he's
- 31:34Speaker 6: been in the postseason. He's been through twenty two where
- 31:38Speaker 6: you're playing with every game really really mattered. He made
- 31:42Speaker 6: mistakes in those games, came through. But you know, it's
- 31:45Speaker 6: not like this is a kid in his first moments.
- 31:52Speaker 6: He's a guy who can bo Nick's playoff quarterback last year.
- 31:57Speaker 6: This may be a new Trevor Lawrence, but the experienced
- 32:01Speaker 6: Trevor Lawrence is still in there somewhere. I think that'll
- 32:04Speaker 6: serve them well. I think, you know, this is not
- 32:06Speaker 6: a team. I don't think Traves e TM's been here,
- 32:09Speaker 6: Josh Heinz Allen's been here, Trayvon Walker's been in the postseason.
- 32:13Speaker 6: So again, that whole thing where they're upstarts and new,
- 32:17Speaker 6: I just don't think it applies to this team. I'm
- 32:19Speaker 6: not gonna say it's been the Chiefs where you've been
- 32:21Speaker 6: there ten years in a row. But I keep going
- 32:25Speaker 6: back to that theme these guys. The overriding feeling of
- 32:29Speaker 6: these guys is they belong in this moment. This is
- 32:34Speaker 6: a big deal, but it's not a big deal where
- 32:36Speaker 6: they're wide eyed about it.
- 32:38Speaker 5: No, they're not wide out about it.
- 32:39Speaker 4: And I think it's really important that the people that
- 32:41Speaker 4: are listening understand because you guys talk to the players
- 32:44Speaker 4: all the time. The synergy between the coaches and the
- 32:48Speaker 4: players in terms of how they approach the week is about.
- 32:51Speaker 5: As good as I've seen anywhere.
- 32:53Speaker 4: Like when you have the coaches talk about man before
- 32:55Speaker 4: we cant even think about next week. We got so
- 32:57Speaker 4: much to dive into today. On Wednesday, we just got
- 32:59Speaker 4: to make that Wednesday is great. And a lot of
- 33:01Speaker 4: times that's like coach speaking. All coaches talk like that
- 33:05Speaker 4: or whatever. But when you hear the players talk about
- 33:07Speaker 4: a Wednesday sessus up for Thursday. We attack our hard
- 33:10Speaker 4: day on Thursday, get ready for fast Friday, Saturday, then
- 33:13Speaker 4: we're off and we know that whatever we do during
- 33:16Speaker 4: the week is gonna set us up to be able
- 33:18Speaker 4: to play to play well on Sunday. That's how they
- 33:21Speaker 4: talk like it's rare on record off record that you
- 33:24Speaker 4: can get them to talk about anything beyond this week,
- 33:29Speaker 4: and that focus is really going to serve them well,
- 33:31Speaker 4: because as the games get bigger, if you just stay
- 33:35Speaker 4: in your same routine, you don't feel the magnitude of
- 33:39Speaker 4: the game. You just locked into your routine and then
- 33:41Speaker 4: you just roll the balls out on Sunday and whatever
- 33:43Speaker 4: happens happens.
- 33:43Speaker 3: All right, quick look at the AFC playoff race.
- 33:46Speaker 2: There are clenching scenarios for both of these teams this week.
- 33:49Speaker 3: The Broncos would clench the AFC.
- 33:52Speaker 2: West with a win and a Chargers loss at the Cowboys.
- 33:57Speaker 2: They can also clinch the number one seed with a
- 34:00Speaker 2: win and a Chargers loss and a Bill's loss and
- 34:03Speaker 2: a Patriots loss all in Week sixteen. Broncos last won
- 34:08Speaker 2: their division in twenty fifteen, the year they won Super
- 34:10Speaker 2: Bowl fifty. Well, the Jaguars could clinch a playoff berth
- 34:14Speaker 2: with a win and a Texans or Colts loss in
- 34:18Speaker 2: Week sixteen Houston at Vegas. It's probably not happening Indy
- 34:22Speaker 2: and against San Francisco is on Monday Night football. So
- 34:26Speaker 2: those are the possibilities this week going into a massive
- 34:29Speaker 2: game the one seed Broncos, the three seed Jaguars. It's
- 34:33Speaker 2: going to get tricky down at the bottom as well
- 34:34Speaker 2: in the wild card race of what teams are kind
- 34:37Speaker 2: of hanging around in that last spot or two.
- 34:39Speaker 6: Yeah, it seems, and there's more math to it than this.
- 34:43Speaker 6: So this is not exactly right, But the Colts are
- 34:48Speaker 6: kind of the team that keeps it from being very
- 34:52Speaker 6: cut and dry in the AFC. If the Colts are
- 34:55Speaker 6: indeed sliding, which they appear to be, but they didn't
- 34:58Speaker 6: really play that way on right on Sunday, if they
- 35:02Speaker 6: are indeed in free fall, which again I'm not sure
- 35:05Speaker 6: they are, then all of a sudden it's pretty clear
- 35:08Speaker 6: who's gonna make it and who's not gonna make it.
- 35:11Speaker 6: But they played tough against Seattle, and they've got the
- 35:13Speaker 6: Jags next week. So if they can find magic, which
- 35:18Speaker 6: isn't you know, we can all assume whatevery what about
- 35:21Speaker 6: the Colts, but late in the NFL seasons you can't predict.
- 35:25Speaker 6: So they're really the team that makes it a little
- 35:27Speaker 6: more complex than it otherwise would be.
- 35:31Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, like they still are hanging on for
- 35:33Speaker 4: dear life. The Baltimore Ravens are there, but they have
- 35:37Speaker 4: a matchup with the Stillers at the end of the
- 35:38Speaker 4: ultimately decide.
- 35:39Speaker 5: Who goes in the division. Those things.
- 35:41Speaker 4: The Stellers take on the Lions, and that's gonna be
- 35:43Speaker 4: a tough game for them, all those things. But honestly,
- 35:46Speaker 4: I give a rat s tale about eating sure. I
- 35:49Speaker 4: just we got to ten, we get to eleven, we
- 35:51Speaker 4: know for sure we're going. So the focus is just
- 35:54Speaker 4: on let's see if we can get to win number eleven,
- 35:57Speaker 4: and then win number eleven if it happens this week.
- 36:00Speaker 4: Now we're begin to talk about number one, number two seed,
- 36:04Speaker 4: all that other stuff. But the most important thing that
- 36:06Speaker 4: the Jazz can do now is just play well, knock
- 36:09Speaker 4: off the Broncos, and then we don't have to worry
- 36:10Speaker 4: about anybody else in what they do because we don't care.
- 36:13Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's really the key. I think it's
- 36:14Speaker 6: a mindset of this team. They're not saying this publicly,
- 36:21Speaker 6: they are a little bit, but their idea is, look,
- 36:26Speaker 6: let's just keep winning and go to San Francisco, you know,
- 36:28Speaker 6: and that really is There are some years that you
- 36:32Speaker 6: sit there in December and talk about, Okay, if this
- 36:34Speaker 6: team wins, if this team wins, if this team wins,
- 36:38Speaker 6: I do think the Jaguars are thinking, Hey, it's not
- 36:42Speaker 6: worry about anything else. You know, we control our destiny
- 36:47Speaker 6: all the way to February, and every team says that again,
- 36:52Speaker 6: that's what this team feels like. And it's remarkable jp
- 36:56Speaker 6: to me. We were here in August, we've been here
- 37:00Speaker 6: for thirteen fourteen years of both of us. How quickly
- 37:03Speaker 6: the mindset of this team enfranchise has turned into this
- 37:09Speaker 6: is where we're supposed to be. And we just played
- 37:12Speaker 6: a big game two weeks ago, We're going to play
- 37:14Speaker 6: a big game this week. We're going to play big
- 37:16Speaker 6: games on down And there's not a wide eyed feeling
- 37:20Speaker 6: about this. I know I'm repeating myself from all show,
- 37:24Speaker 6: but that's really the feeling from the organization is they're
- 37:28Speaker 6: not concerned about other teams. It's hey, let's we're a
- 37:33Speaker 6: team that other teams need to beat.
- 37:34Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know what, Hey, our starter goes down,
- 37:37Speaker 2: Let's go get another guy who can contribute. We'll trust
- 37:39Speaker 2: him and he'll learn the offense or the defense and
- 37:42Speaker 2: we'll plug him in there. Oh, it's an eight year
- 37:44Speaker 2: veteran who's never made a start. Let's start him, you know,
- 37:46Speaker 2: and let him play on the defensive line.
- 37:48Speaker 6: And to get there less than a year with putting
- 37:52Speaker 6: this together is no win, lose whatever, Sunday. That's remarkable.
- 37:58Speaker 4: But yeah, it's crazy to hey to be the guy
- 38:00Speaker 4: that broke out a form because I just talked like
- 38:02Speaker 4: for forty five minutes about a one week at a time,
- 38:05Speaker 4: want to know whatever, But hey, man, I've already booked
- 38:07Speaker 4: my hotel, I got my outfit lined up.
- 38:09Speaker 5: I'm ready for February.
- 38:10Speaker 4: So whatever it is, whatever's gonna be, I'm gonna talk
- 38:12Speaker 4: about one week at a time, but I fully expect
- 38:15Speaker 4: to be in Leaby Stadium like we were early in
- 38:17Speaker 4: the year.
- 38:20Speaker 2: You're buying dinner, Bucky. It's on you, and we're gonna
