- 1:14Speaker 3: dot Com and John Let's let's start.
- 1:17Speaker 2: Right into it today.
- 1:18Speaker 3: The big news of the day was the quarterback, of course,
- 1:21Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence speaking with the media and the Jags trying
- 1:24Speaker 3: to rebound from that loss to the Bengals on Monday
- 1:27Speaker 3: Night football and the major injuries the right high ankle
- 1:30Speaker 3: spring for Trevor Lawrence. He walked into the press conference
- 1:34Speaker 3: today without a boot on and he answered the question
- 1:37Speaker 3: about what it would take to play.
- 1:41Speaker 4: Still early in the week obviously New Orleans. I didn't
- 1:44Speaker 4: know until right before the game, but and that was
- 1:47Speaker 4: this is a short week, but that was a really
- 1:48Speaker 4: short week. So we'll have a couple more days than
- 1:50Speaker 4: we did then, which is which is nice. But still
- 1:52Speaker 4: lost the day playing on Monday night. So I guess
- 1:55Speaker 4: that's just the way it's been going this year with
- 1:57Speaker 4: some of that stuff. But you know, I'm just taking
- 2:00Speaker 4: it one day at a time. I'm trying to do
- 2:02Speaker 4: do as much as I can each day without you know,
- 2:05Speaker 4: aggravating it or making anything worse. But trying to progress
- 2:08Speaker 4: towards you know, hopefully playing like that's the that's the
- 2:11Speaker 4: goal every week and every day is to try to
- 2:14Speaker 4: get as healthy as possible.
- 2:15Speaker 5: And in the.
- 2:16Speaker 4: Past what forty eight hours have been some big steps
- 2:19Speaker 4: and I'm really happy with with how it's healing up.
- 2:22Speaker 5: So we'll see.
- 2:23Speaker 4: You know, obviously, can't give any answers right now, and
- 2:25Speaker 4: I'm just gonna take my time and do everything right
- 2:28Speaker 4: and with the medical people downstairs and the trainers in
- 2:31Speaker 4: the weight room, so just you know, to check every
- 2:35Speaker 4: box that I can to try to be able to
- 2:37Speaker 4: play on Sunday.
- 2:38Speaker 3: That's the quarterback and this would be his forty seventh
- 2:41Speaker 3: consecutive start to start his career if he were to
- 2:44Speaker 3: go this week. Long way from two ninety seven and
- 2:45Speaker 3: Brett favre John. But what do you read from the
- 2:47Speaker 3: tea leaves there?
- 2:48Speaker 6: He walked, he talked, he didn't have a boot, he
- 2:54Speaker 6: was significantly not limping on the way in. I'm not
- 2:57Speaker 6: going to say that he wasn't making sure he didn't
- 3:00Speaker 6: lamp if you follow me, I think there was some
- 3:02Speaker 6: appearance wanting there. Look when he went down on Monday,
- 3:07Speaker 6: I didn't think anyway in the world he would play.
- 3:11Speaker 6: He He has played through injuries uh the next week twice.
- 3:19Speaker 6: This is a significantly different thing the high ankle sprain.
- 3:23Speaker 6: Conventional wisdom is it is a three to four to
- 3:25Speaker 6: six week injury. Mahomes also played on a high sprain
- 3:31Speaker 6: last year in the playoffs. Anything could happen. This kid's
- 3:36Speaker 6: been Superman before. I would still guess that he doesn't.
- 3:39Speaker 6: But I feel a little more after today, like there's
- 3:42Speaker 6: a decent chance he will. He talked, which is significant
- 3:45Speaker 6: this league. You know when the starting quarterback talks to
- 3:47Speaker 6: me as there's a chance he plays, So.
- 3:50Speaker 7: I don't know, what do you?
- 3:53Speaker 6: Well?
- 3:53Speaker 2: See, what do you read from it? Bucky?
- 3:56Speaker 8: A couple of things that came out from that that
- 3:58Speaker 8: that really stood out to me.
- 4:00Speaker 5: One he walked in without a boot. That's significant.
- 4:03Speaker 8: Two he talked about playing and what we know from
- 4:06Speaker 8: Trevor the situation appeared dire before the New Orleans Saints game,
- 4:10Speaker 8: and he showed up and played, didn't practicimate played and
- 4:12Speaker 8: played really well.
- 4:14Speaker 5: This is a guy I give him credit.
- 4:16Speaker 8: The toughness that you want to see from your franchise quarterback.
- 4:20Speaker 8: He exhibits the courage to kind of put himself out
- 4:23Speaker 8: there and do it.
- 4:24Speaker 5: I applaud him.
- 4:25Speaker 8: The key will be if you're Doug Peterson, do you
- 4:28Speaker 8: want to expose him to the Browns defensive front where
- 4:32Speaker 8: he could possibly tweak.
- 4:33Speaker 5: It again and then not be available down the stretch.
- 4:36Speaker 8: Or do you want to give him a full week
- 4:38Speaker 8: to rest and recover and target the Baltimore Ravens that
- 4:42Speaker 8: Sunday night game as an opportunity for him to come back.
- 4:46Speaker 8: You know, it's trying to weigh the pros and cons
- 4:48Speaker 8: of what could be if he plays this week versus
- 4:52Speaker 8: letting him get right and be all the way back.
- 4:54Speaker 5: When he plays against the Baltimore Ravens.
- 4:56Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 4:56Speaker 6: I don't yes, first of all, because he's a right
- 5:00Speaker 6: I don't know if realistic'll go off a high sprain
- 5:03Speaker 6: you're going to be right in two weeks percent. I mean,
- 5:07Speaker 6: you think about it. My home still in the Super
- 5:09Speaker 6: Bowl was showing some you know, it wasn't really the
- 5:13Speaker 6: same guy yet.
- 5:14Speaker 7: I don't think.
- 5:16Speaker 8: So.
- 5:17Speaker 7: You probably are limited for a little while.
- 5:22Speaker 6: My guess is if they feel like he can protect
- 5:23Speaker 6: himself and play at all, I think he'll play. I'd
- 5:30Speaker 6: still be surprised, but.
- 5:34Speaker 7: I'm just surprised.
- 5:36Speaker 6: I guess I'm surprised that I feel this confident even
- 5:41Speaker 6: though I'm not super super confidence.
- 5:43Speaker 3: That makes sense, Yeah, I mean, just because we all
- 5:45Speaker 3: saw the scene on Monday night when he's twisted up
- 5:48Speaker 3: like a pretzel on the field and he's throwing his
- 5:50Speaker 3: helmet and he can't walk down the hallway, and at
- 5:53Speaker 3: that moment, I'm thinking he's out next week and maybe
- 5:56Speaker 3: longer than that, because he really just didn't know just
- 5:58Speaker 3: from the look of it. But to have this even
- 6:00Speaker 3: a possibility this week is pretty remarkable for the quarterback.
- 6:04Speaker 3: Let's hear the head coaches perspective on it today. Doug
- 6:07Speaker 3: Peterson on what goes into the decision to make a
- 6:10Speaker 3: change or not.
- 6:12Speaker 9: The biggest thing is is, as you mentioned, player health,
- 6:15Speaker 9: that's the biggest thing. You know, our job as as
- 6:19Speaker 9: a medical staff head coach. We're not going to put
- 6:23Speaker 9: players on the field that can that aren't one hundred percent,
- 6:27Speaker 9: that aren't healthy, that that could maybe even further risk
- 6:32Speaker 9: more damage, you know, to the area that's that's injured,
- 6:36Speaker 9: and it's our jobs to protect those players and make
- 6:39Speaker 9: sure you know, it's it's not at the cost of
- 6:42Speaker 9: winning a football game obviously, and yes, we are in
- 6:46Speaker 9: this this last sort of month of the of the
- 6:48Speaker 9: year where we're making making our run. But we also
- 6:52Speaker 9: know too that if, for instance, if if Trevor can't
- 6:56Speaker 9: play in this game, there's there's going to come a
- 6:58Speaker 9: time at some point where he is and you know,
- 7:01Speaker 9: we've got to we've all got to come together to
- 7:04Speaker 9: to kind of weather this storm a little bit so
- 7:08Speaker 9: that when you know, if there's a time when he
- 7:12Speaker 9: does return, so to speak, that you know we make
- 7:16Speaker 9: we make that push with him, and we've kind of
- 7:19Speaker 9: gone through this period of you know, playing playing some backups.
- 7:26Speaker 3: So there you have it, Bucky. Does that clear anything
- 7:28Speaker 3: up for you or no? Or make it even muddier?
- 7:31Speaker 5: Well? No, I think it made clear up a couple
- 7:34Speaker 5: of different things.
- 7:35Speaker 8: One without really knowing how the Jaguar sitting in the
- 7:39Speaker 8: vision in terms of owning the tiebreakers and those things,
- 7:42Speaker 8: if you are going to sit them, this is the
- 7:44Speaker 8: perfect opportunity to sit them.
- 7:46Speaker 5: Uh.
- 7:47Speaker 8: In my mind, I think you have to win at
- 7:49Speaker 8: least four out of the next five games to be
- 7:52Speaker 8: in a pretty good spot. Twelve and five will probably
- 7:55Speaker 8: not only get you into the playoffs, but it should
- 7:58Speaker 8: be enough to win the division.
- 7:59Speaker 5: So if you you have to quote.
- 8:00Speaker 8: Unquote give away a game, the Cleveland game is the one.
- 8:04Speaker 8: What you don't want to happen is for him to play.
- 8:07Speaker 8: He plays for maybe a half, but then you miss
- 8:10Speaker 8: him for the Baltimore game and two other games after that.
- 8:13Speaker 8: When Doug is talking about making the push, I think
- 8:17Speaker 8: it's important when you talked about making the push with sixteen,
- 8:20Speaker 8: to me, I think Doug is going to be really
- 8:22Speaker 8: conservative with this one, knowing that I would rather have
- 8:26Speaker 8: him for the next four and give up this one
- 8:30Speaker 8: as opposed to play him and then lose him for
- 8:32Speaker 8: a significant time down the stretch.
- 8:35Speaker 6: Pretty sure three and two gets you there as long
- 8:39Speaker 6: as you beat the Titans at the end of the season.
- 8:43Speaker 6: I could be wrong on that. I researched a day
- 8:47Speaker 6: a little bit. To me, it feels like these next
- 8:52Speaker 6: couple are really really big because you don't want to
- 8:57Speaker 6: let Houston get ahead of you, and so that's why
- 9:03Speaker 6: leads are never safe in the NFL. We learned that
- 9:05Speaker 6: last year, and what can feel like a monstrous lead
- 9:09Speaker 6: can feel very small, very quickly. And that's kind of
- 9:11Speaker 6: what happened in five minutes the other night. It's a
- 9:16Speaker 6: tough spot. I just at this stage of the season,
- 9:20Speaker 6: I do feel like it if he can play, I
- 9:25Speaker 6: think it's sort of like New Orleans felt a little bit.
- 9:28Speaker 6: There's only seventeen of these things, and if he can play,
- 9:34Speaker 6: then I think he plays. And if he can't, he can't.
- 9:36Speaker 6: And that's kind of a silly way to put it,
- 9:38Speaker 6: because there's more nuanced than that. But if you can play,
- 9:41Speaker 6: you play in this league. But if there's this, if
- 9:46Speaker 6: there's a risk of further injury, then I think that
- 9:50Speaker 6: takes it all off the table. I think I think
- 9:53Speaker 6: it's pretty black and white. If they believe there's a
- 9:55Speaker 6: significant risk that he hurts this thing more, then I
- 9:57Speaker 6: don't think there's a chance he plays.
- 10:00Speaker 5: Okay, I'll say this.
- 10:01Speaker 8: I think a lot of it is not only his health,
- 10:04Speaker 8: but it's going with the offensive coaches and trying to
- 10:06Speaker 8: figure out can we build a game plan that really
- 10:09Speaker 8: limits his mobility and what we expose him to. Can
- 10:13Speaker 8: we build a game plan that maybe features a lot
- 10:14Speaker 8: of bubble screens and quicks We don't have the boot
- 10:19Speaker 8: movement game, but how can we build out a winning
- 10:21Speaker 8: game plan that keeps them comfortable? In the pocket and
- 10:24Speaker 8: doesn't expose him to his Now, you can never guarantee it,
- 10:28Speaker 8: but we do know if you go quick game, if
- 10:30Speaker 8: you go screens, if you do some other things when
- 10:34Speaker 8: the ball is designed to get out quick, he can
- 10:36Speaker 8: stay upright. Do you feel confident in your ability to
- 10:40Speaker 8: be able to do that against this team? Because the difference,
- 10:43Speaker 8: and we'll talk about Cleveland later, Cleveland plays a lot
- 10:45Speaker 8: of manda man.
- 10:46Speaker 5: They play a lot of tight man demand.
- 10:49Speaker 8: Where they're not going to give free release to the
- 10:51Speaker 8: receivers outside. That makes it a little more difficult to say, hey,
- 10:55Speaker 8: we're just gonna put him in the.
- 10:56Speaker 5: Shotgun and let him dink and dunk and get the
- 10:58Speaker 5: ball out quickly.
- 11:00Speaker 3: Another thing to consider as well, you might have a
- 11:01Speaker 3: couple other starters out. I mean, Walker Little's on the
- 11:04Speaker 3: list this week with a hamstring left tackle, and then
- 11:07Speaker 3: of course Christian Kirk's done, so Parker Washington will be
- 11:11Speaker 3: in there. He stepped in last week and made some catches,
- 11:14Speaker 3: but notably on the play where Trevor was hurt. Wrong
- 11:17Speaker 3: route and miscommunication. So that's something to consider as well. Bucky,
- 11:22Speaker 3: with the injuries around him and the personnel that's up
- 11:25Speaker 3: around the quarterback this week plenty to get to We're
- 11:28Speaker 3: back in a moment. We'll take a look at those
- 11:29Speaker 3: Cleveland Browns that are seven and five and.
- 11:32Speaker 2: Bootleggers get ready.
- 11:33Speaker 3: Luke Combs is bringing two nights to the Growing Up
- 11:36Speaker 3: and Getting Old Tour to the Bank May third and fourth,
- 11:39Speaker 3: different special guests each night. Tickets on sale now at
- 11:43Speaker 3: EverBank Stadium dot com. And this is Huddle Up with
- 11:46Speaker 3: Bucky Brooks.
- 11:57Speaker 9: You know, obviously, yeah, you were in a bit of
- 11:59Speaker 9: a rhythm. Things were kind of clicking a little bit,
- 12:02Speaker 9: and and you know, you still try to do things
- 12:08Speaker 9: that are going to try to keep that same rhythm,
- 12:10Speaker 9: you know. But now again, if you're if you know,
- 12:13Speaker 9: we're talking about the quarterback position, you got to play
- 12:16Speaker 9: to each one's strengths too. You know, if it is CJ,
- 12:20Speaker 9: you know, he can't be Trevor, and Trevor is not
- 12:23Speaker 9: obviously gonna be CJ. And things like that, and so
- 12:26Speaker 9: you try to tailor things according to their strengths, right
- 12:30Speaker 9: and and the things that they do well, and a
- 12:34Speaker 9: lot of input from the player obviously in this you know,
- 12:37Speaker 9: in this situation, the quarterback and making sure that he's
- 12:40Speaker 9: comfortable with the game plan and and uh, even the
- 12:43Speaker 9: guys around him, you know, they have to do their
- 12:47Speaker 9: part too, right. They they've got to be where they
- 12:50Speaker 9: need to be in a particular route. Protection has to
- 12:54Speaker 9: hold up all those things, uh, to to make sure
- 12:56Speaker 9: it continues.
- 12:57Speaker 8: To you know, move forward.
- 12:59Speaker 9: And you know went through this in seventeen and you
- 13:05Speaker 9: know we didn't miss too much.
- 13:08Speaker 2: I mean it was it was different. It was a
- 13:10Speaker 2: different look, but.
- 13:11Speaker 9: We didn't miss the b right, and we continued to
- 13:13Speaker 9: improve as a team.
- 13:15Speaker 3: Of course, had coach Doug Peterson earlier today the full
- 13:18Speaker 3: press conference available at Jaguars dot Com or the Jaguars
- 13:21Speaker 3: YouTube channel, and he's referencing the twenty seventeenth Philadelphia Eagles.
- 13:24Speaker 3: Carson Wentz went down, of course, and a gentleman named
- 13:28Speaker 3: Nick Foles came into the fold and led them to
- 13:31Speaker 3: a Super Bowl victory. And its tuddled up with Bucky Brooks,
- 13:34Speaker 3: JP Shadwick, John Ozer, and Jacksonville. Bucky Brooks in Los
- 13:38Speaker 3: Angeles said, hey, guys, we're in the final stretch of
- 13:40Speaker 3: the regular season here only two home games remainings, so
- 13:44Speaker 3: be there as the Jags go head to head with
- 13:46Speaker 3: the Ravens Sunday, December seventeenth on Sunday Night Football. Grab
- 13:50Speaker 3: your teal and help the Jags teal out the stands
- 13:53Speaker 3: and get your tickets to Jaguars dot com slash tickets
- 13:56Speaker 3: or nine oh four six three three two thousand that
- 14:00Speaker 3: game in Week fifteen. There's business to attend to this
- 14:04Speaker 3: week in Cleveland on the shores of Lake Eriet, Cleveland
- 14:07Speaker 3: Browns Stadium, a seven to five Browns team that is
- 14:11Speaker 3: led by a really highly ranked defense, number one in
- 14:15Speaker 3: the league in total defense, very good against the pass,
- 14:20Speaker 3: the third down, they're number one in the league. They've
- 14:23Speaker 3: got they've got guys all over the place, Bucky, What
- 14:26Speaker 3: stands out the most against this Browns defense?
- 14:28Speaker 2: Why are they ranking so highly?
- 14:31Speaker 8: A combination of talent and the scheme. But let's talk
- 14:34Speaker 8: about the scheme first. This scheme is a wide nine defense,
- 14:37Speaker 8: meaning that they're going to position their defensive ends significantly
- 14:42Speaker 8: outside the outside shoulders of the offensive tackles.
- 14:46Speaker 5: That puts a lot of pressure on the tackles, particularly.
- 14:48Speaker 8: On passing downs, to be able to kick, slide, get
- 14:51Speaker 8: out to slow those guys down. Then, when you combine
- 14:54Speaker 8: it with the personnel that they have in those marquee spots.
- 14:57Speaker 5: Miles Garrett is a dominant.
- 14:58Speaker 8: Pass pressure one of the best pass rushing, if not
- 15:01Speaker 8: the best pass rushing the league. You're now giving him
- 15:03Speaker 8: an opportunity to have angles and leverage on your pass protectors.
- 15:09Speaker 8: Then on the other side of Dearis Smith is also
- 15:11Speaker 8: a veteran player who does a really good job of
- 15:13Speaker 8: creating sack production and disruptive plays. And so you have
- 15:16Speaker 8: those two guys on the outside, and then in the
- 15:18Speaker 8: back end they have like very talented cornerbacks that specialize
- 15:23Speaker 8: and really get in your nose, making your uncomfortable, not
- 15:26Speaker 8: giving up easy.
- 15:27Speaker 5: Access and a lot of space.
- 15:29Speaker 8: And so they're forcing the quarterback to make tight windows
- 15:33Speaker 8: throws while under duress, and it has worked for them.
- 15:36Speaker 8: It's worked real well for them. They go after, they
- 15:39Speaker 8: create turnovers. This is a really good defensive front. I
- 15:42Speaker 8: would say the Achilles heel for them can be a
- 15:45Speaker 8: running game. The issue that we've had we haven't been
- 15:49Speaker 8: able to run the ball effectively enough to make them
- 15:53Speaker 8: have to get out of some of the things that
- 15:54Speaker 8: they want to do when it comes to rushing to pass.
- 15:56Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's what you wonder if CJ. Is the
- 16:00Speaker 6: quarterback no offensive CJ. But do the Browns respect the
- 16:06Speaker 6: past enough for you to sort of run the way
- 16:09Speaker 6: the Jaguars have run at times, which is in lighter
- 16:13Speaker 6: formations and being able to sort of stick with it
- 16:17Speaker 6: even when the other team stopped.
- 16:19Speaker 7: It a little bit.
- 16:20Speaker 6: But then the other thing's playing in the past, you
- 16:21Speaker 6: sort of get some breaks there. I this matchup, for
- 16:25Speaker 6: another reason, concerns you, Lawrence being out. The Jaguars this
- 16:31Speaker 6: season have not been able to run when they need
- 16:34Speaker 6: or want to run necessarily well enough four minutes short yardage.
- 16:39Speaker 6: So it's probably stretching reason a little bit to think
- 16:43Speaker 6: that they're with quarterback mobility or a backup being an issue,
- 16:48Speaker 6: are they going to be able to just turn around
- 16:49Speaker 6: and hand the ball off. That's not really what this
- 16:52Speaker 6: offense does, even when it's going right, it's not a
- 16:55Speaker 6: turnaround and hand the ball to the running back. And
- 16:57Speaker 6: I grind it out offense, especially on a muddy day,
- 17:00Speaker 6: a cold day. I'm not again, this is not saying
- 17:04Speaker 6: that they cannot go in this game, but that matchup
- 17:07Speaker 6: Bucky is not on paper very favorable.
- 17:12Speaker 5: No, it's not very favorable.
- 17:14Speaker 8: And you know the running game or the lack thereof
- 17:17Speaker 8: has been a huge issue because it just prevents you
- 17:19Speaker 8: from being able to control the game.
- 17:21Speaker 5: I think there's some frustration.
- 17:23Speaker 8: Doug has kind of let that frustration out when it
- 17:25Speaker 8: comes to their inability to be able to dominate short
- 17:28Speaker 8: yardage goal line situations.
- 17:29Speaker 5: Too many times the Jaguars have come up short on.
- 17:32Speaker 8: Third and one, fourth and one opportunities to either score
- 17:36Speaker 8: touchdowns or to extend drives that would allow you to
- 17:39Speaker 8: control the clock.
- 17:40Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 17:40Speaker 8: I mean, we've seen this offensive line adopt a physical,
- 17:45Speaker 8: tough guy mentality at times, but it's been inconsistent with
- 17:49Speaker 8: a backup quarterback.
- 17:50Speaker 5: Everything has to be height and you have to pull together.
- 17:53Speaker 8: I would say this week the offensive line has to
- 17:55Speaker 8: play their best game for them to be able to play.
- 17:57Speaker 5: And I'm saying that with the intention of CJ. Bethy
- 18:00Speaker 5: being the quarterback.
- 18:02Speaker 8: The offensive line has to play well for them to
- 18:03Speaker 8: have any chance with a backup.
- 18:05Speaker 6: And you know, it's funny about what I just said, JP,
- 18:07Speaker 6: in this league, they probably come out run one hundred and.
- 18:10Speaker 2: Forty yards right because Monday night.
- 18:13Speaker 7: You do see it happen.
- 18:15Speaker 6: And continuity focus knowing that you've got to do it
- 18:19Speaker 6: knowing that. I don't say the seasons on the line,
- 18:21Speaker 6: but this this is really big And I did the
- 18:25Speaker 6: math a little bit, and I should have done it
- 18:26Speaker 6: before the show. If Jaguares go four and one and
- 18:28Speaker 6: beat the Titans, they win the division.
- 18:29Speaker 5: Period.
- 18:30Speaker 7: The Texans can't catch them in that scenario.
- 18:32Speaker 6: But four and one, uh, you got to go at
- 18:36Speaker 6: least that if the Texans going beaten with Baltimore coming
- 18:40Speaker 6: up the next week. This game, to me, I've been
- 18:43Speaker 6: saying all day on different conversations, this game, to me
- 18:48Speaker 6: is a huge test for the maturity and the resilience
- 18:53Speaker 6: of this Jaguars team. And I've been praising them all
- 18:55Speaker 6: year in that regard. I think they are a mature,
- 18:57Speaker 6: resilient team under Doug. They started doing it last year year,
- 19:00Speaker 6: They've done it a lot this year. The way you
- 19:03Speaker 6: felt walking out of that stadium in other night, the
- 19:05Speaker 6: gut punch of losing Christian Kirk, of having Trevor hurt,
- 19:08Speaker 6: of having to go to Cleveland a team that's equally desperate,
- 19:13Speaker 6: you go win this game. Color me impressed, Bucky. I
- 19:18Speaker 6: think this is a really big test. I think it's
- 19:21Speaker 6: passable because I believe in the maturity of this team.
- 19:24Speaker 7: But it's a test.
- 19:26Speaker 8: Yeah, it's a test, But you know what, I think
- 19:28Speaker 8: sometimes we have to recognize what the team is, and
- 19:30Speaker 8: I think this is a team that has always at
- 19:32Speaker 8: its best when its.
- 19:33Speaker 5: Backs are against the wall.
- 19:34Speaker 8: Fair whatever reason, this team hasn't handled prosperity well. When
- 19:38Speaker 8: things have kind of been lined up for them to
- 19:40Speaker 8: take advantage.
- 19:40Speaker 5: Of it, they haven't been able to do it. But
- 19:43Speaker 5: when they've been doubted, when they've been counted out, when.
- 19:45Speaker 8: Things look dire, they've been able to respond and really
- 19:48Speaker 8: play their best ball. So my expectation is that the
- 19:52Speaker 8: feeling that everyone had, oh woe with me, the season
- 19:55Speaker 8: is over, Trevor Lawrence is not coming back in a
- 19:58Speaker 8: weird way. I think the team gets galvanized. I expect
- 20:02Speaker 8: them to go to Cleveland and play well. I don't
- 20:05Speaker 8: have any necessarily evidence that they don't play well with CJ.
- 20:08Speaker 8: Betht or a hobbling Trevor Lawrence. This team has just
- 20:12Speaker 8: done it in those instances. I think they just kind
- 20:16Speaker 8: of feed off of being backed to a corner and
- 20:18Speaker 8: trying to have to figure it fight their way out.
- 20:21Speaker 6: You know, it just showed JP that was a great point. Yeah,
- 20:24Speaker 6: and the Bucky Brooks show. That's worth my and I
- 20:30Speaker 6: couldn't agree more that that's what you depend on. That's
- 20:33Speaker 6: what it's been for a year and a half now.
- 20:37Speaker 6: So if you believe this team is strong, believe it's good.
- 20:39Speaker 7: Believe in that. I think it's a lot. It's a
- 20:43Speaker 7: really good point going to this.
- 20:45Speaker 3: I will say this though, the defense better play much
- 20:48Speaker 3: better than they did on Monday night for any of
- 20:50Speaker 3: that to matter, and allowed to do it against the
- 20:52Speaker 3: Browns team. Speaking of backup quarterbacks, they've run a few
- 20:56Speaker 3: out there this year. Dwalliam Thompson Robinson is back in
- 20:59Speaker 3: line at sounds like to be back in a starting role,
- 21:03Speaker 3: most likely Flaco started last week. They've had four different
- 21:06Speaker 3: players play quarterback this year. Deshaun Watson six times, DTR
- 21:11Speaker 3: three times, PJ Walker a couple Flaco last week.
- 21:14Speaker 2: And you know.
- 21:16Speaker 3: They got they They've got some guys that are nicked
- 21:19Speaker 3: up on offense, Bucky. But what stands out the most
- 21:22Speaker 3: about this Brown's offense, and it's a Jags defense.
- 21:25Speaker 2: They got to get off the mat f Monday night.
- 21:27Speaker 8: Yeah, they gotta get off the matt. And here's what
- 21:29Speaker 8: stands out to me about the Browns offense. None of
- 21:31Speaker 8: the guys pitches really.
- 21:32Speaker 5: Matter in terms of what the Browns want to do.
- 21:35Speaker 8: This is a team that's built at the line of
- 21:36Speaker 8: scrimmage offensive line, one of the better offensive lines in football.
- 21:40Speaker 5: They want to run the football.
- 21:41Speaker 8: If they're able to run the football, it unlocks everything
- 21:44Speaker 8: that they want to do in the passing game. And
- 21:46Speaker 8: so very similar to the way the Cincinnati Bengals attacked
- 21:49Speaker 8: the Jaguars on Monday, you'll see an approach utilized by
- 21:54Speaker 8: Chemistpansky that mirrors that they want to run the football early.
- 21:57Speaker 8: They want to put themselves in I would say favorable
- 22:02Speaker 8: downs on third down, third and four or less. So
- 22:05Speaker 8: then that way they can allow the running game in
- 22:08Speaker 8: the passing game to come into the equation.
- 22:10Speaker 5: And so you're not able to get a beat.
- 22:12Speaker 8: On them when they're able to play from in front,
- 22:15Speaker 8: meaning not only playing from in front of the score,
- 22:17Speaker 8: but playing from in front on the change second and
- 22:21Speaker 8: second and medium, third and short. That's how they want
- 22:25Speaker 8: to play. So it's on the Jaguars defense. They got
- 22:28Speaker 8: to line up, they got to stop the running game.
- 22:30Speaker 8: They got to do a better job in coverage. But
- 22:32Speaker 8: this is more where the defense has to wear the hat.
- 22:35Speaker 8: We've said it all year, the defense has kind of
- 22:37Speaker 8: been underrated when they're the expectation is when your quarterback
- 22:41Speaker 8: is hurt, the defense has to step up and do more.
- 22:44Speaker 8: This defense has to get back to playing the kind
- 22:45Speaker 8: of bully ball they were playing.
- 22:46Speaker 3: Yeah, was it just being out physicals on Monday night?
- 22:49Speaker 3: On first downs in the running game? Why did they
- 22:51Speaker 3: give up one hundred and fifty six? And you know what,
- 22:55Speaker 3: is that a sign of things to come? Or is
- 22:58Speaker 3: that a one off Monday.
- 23:00Speaker 8: Well, we're gonna see if it's on one off, because
- 23:02Speaker 8: what happens when you put bad tape out there? The
- 23:04Speaker 8: teams that play after that game, they're gonna make sure
- 23:07Speaker 8: that you've solved those problems. So this would be the
- 23:10Speaker 8: toughest thing because now that you put that bad tape
- 23:12Speaker 8: up against the Cincinnati bidings where you couldn't stop the
- 23:15Speaker 8: running game with Chase Brown and Joe Mixon, you can
- 23:17Speaker 8: get a heavy dose of the running game from the Browns.
- 23:19Speaker 8: You can get that anyway, but now they have confidence
- 23:22Speaker 8: that they might be able to control the game with
- 23:24Speaker 8: the run. So you don't have to be on your
- 23:25Speaker 8: p's and q's the issues that came up against Cincinnati
- 23:28Speaker 8: that are problematic. Lack of gap controlled, meaning you have
- 23:32Speaker 8: defenders assigned to every gap. There are eight gaps on
- 23:35Speaker 8: the line. Someone has to be in all of those gaps.
- 23:37Speaker 8: Didn't have consistency there, lack of consistent tackling. They didn't
- 23:41Speaker 8: tackle well, they didn't put the pass on people, didn't
- 23:44Speaker 8: bring them down in space, and then just the overall
- 23:47Speaker 8: urgency was not up to the standards. They have to
- 23:50Speaker 8: fix all those things. The difference is the Browns don't
- 23:53Speaker 8: have the same weapons on the outside that make you
- 23:57Speaker 8: do some of the things that might call what had
- 23:59Speaker 8: to do against the Bengals.
- 24:00Speaker 5: There's not a Jamar Chase. There's not a t Higgins
- 24:03Speaker 5: and Tyler board where we have three guys that you
- 24:05Speaker 5: worry about being able to play.
- 24:06Speaker 8: Manda man Oor, Maury Cooper's a fantastic wide receiver, Elijah
- 24:10Speaker 8: Moore is a dangerous wide receiver.
- 24:12Speaker 5: But it's different in terms of against Cincinnati. After Jamar
- 24:16Speaker 5: Chase said that big player, you have to double team
- 24:18Speaker 5: him every time.
- 24:19Speaker 8: I don't know if Mike Callwell will feel the same way.
- 24:22Speaker 5: Facing the Browns. I think the priority is stop the run,
- 24:26Speaker 5: make them pass.
- 24:27Speaker 8: I don't think going into the game, do they wanted
- 24:29Speaker 8: Cincinnati to really have to attack through the air.
- 24:32Speaker 6: Yeah, when you make Cincinnati pass, you're doing him a favor.
- 24:36Speaker 6: I don't know if that's true with the Brown So again,
- 24:42Speaker 6: great point, great point by BUCkies.
- 24:45Speaker 7: He's consistent, he's on his games. What they call that JP.
- 24:49Speaker 6: I think this weekend's game is a chance for the
- 24:53Speaker 6: Jaguars defense to really nail down what they've been saying
- 24:58Speaker 6: and believing all year that they're the defining unit on
- 25:01Speaker 6: this team. They believe they're a good run defense. They
- 25:05Speaker 6: weren't the other night, but for the most part this year,
- 25:07Speaker 6: they believe that's a defining characteristic of this team.
- 25:12Speaker 7: They believe they create turnovers. They believe they're good enough.
- 25:14Speaker 6: To win games with with Trevor down or with him limited,
- 25:20Speaker 6: et cetera, et cetera. Going in on muddy field against
- 25:23Speaker 6: a good defense, this is a chance for that defense
- 25:26Speaker 6: to show that they are with what they believe they are,
- 25:29Speaker 6: they can define.
- 25:30Speaker 5: You know.
- 25:31Speaker 7: I think if you win this, you make the playoffs.
- 25:32Speaker 6: If you don't win this, I think it's you know,
- 25:35Speaker 6: I would say a toss up, but much different every
- 25:37Speaker 6: week tight. So I think it's a chance for this
- 25:41Speaker 6: for this defense to put their stamp on this season,
- 25:43Speaker 6: not that they haven't already, but it's it's December now
- 25:46Speaker 6: and the quarterbacks down. If you want to be the
- 25:50Speaker 6: unit that this team can hang your hat on, be
- 25:53Speaker 6: that on Sunday.
- 25:54Speaker 3: Jacks fans want customized Jack's furniture for your home, check
- 25:58Speaker 3: out zip chaer dot com and Brow's all customizable options
- 26:01Speaker 3: zip Chair furniture for fans. What about these skill guys
- 26:06Speaker 3: for the Jags offense, We'll get to that at a moment.
- 26:08Speaker 3: It's huddle up with Bucky Brooks.
- 26:18Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, the team's always the priority.
- 26:20Speaker 5: You know.
- 26:23Speaker 4: We had obviously the same conversations before the New Orleans
- 26:26Speaker 4: game earlier in the season. And I'll never put myself
- 26:31Speaker 4: or the team in a position to where we're at
- 26:34Speaker 4: a higher risk or we're not going to play our
- 26:37Speaker 4: best because I'm.
- 26:38Speaker 5: Not able to do my job.
- 26:40Speaker 4: So you know, that's those are all questions you have
- 26:43Speaker 4: to answer throughout the course of the week, and just
- 26:45Speaker 4: for me, it's just doing everything I can every second
- 26:48Speaker 4: of the day to get back as soon as possible,
- 26:50Speaker 4: you know, whenever that is so that's yeah, that's the
- 26:54Speaker 4: whole thought process behind everything.
- 26:57Speaker 3: All eyes on Trevor Lawrence this week, well, none of
- 26:59Speaker 3: the ractives field today, but moving forward to see if
- 27:03Speaker 3: he'll be ready to roll this Sunday. Not ruled out
- 27:06Speaker 3: yet coming off a high ankle sprain and welcome back.
- 27:09Speaker 3: It's huddle up with Bucky Brooks and All Elite Wrestling
- 27:12Speaker 3: returns home to Jacksonville with an explosive aw dynamite and rampage.
- 27:17Speaker 3: See all the action at Daily's Place Wednesday, January tenth.
- 27:20Speaker 3: Tickets on sale now Daily's Place dot com.
- 27:23Speaker 7: Lil Wrestling, John Wrestling at Daily's Place.
- 27:27Speaker 2: Yeah, coming up in January.
- 27:29Speaker 3: Christian Kirk done so Parker Washington, Inn. What'd you see
- 27:35Speaker 3: from Calvin Ridley last week? Say Jones, the skill guys
- 27:38Speaker 3: with some changes again with some of those personnel guys,
- 27:42Speaker 3: and Evan Ingram had some catches obviously and finally got
- 27:45Speaker 3: in the end zone Bucky last week.
- 27:47Speaker 5: Yeah. So this would be interesting because what happened is
- 27:50Speaker 5: when you remove.
- 27:51Speaker 8: Christian Kirk from the field, it takes away I would
- 27:53Speaker 8: say Trevor Lawrence's favorite target in terms of like those
- 27:56Speaker 8: money downs, those key situations he has a cynergen a
- 27:58Speaker 8: connections Kirk, but when you remove him, Evan Ingram goes
- 28:03Speaker 8: up in the packing water. We saw him have a
- 28:05Speaker 8: big game and it wasn't a coincidence. When you take
- 28:07Speaker 8: Kirk out, he is going to kind of have a
- 28:09Speaker 8: more prominent role on the offense. Calvin Ridley continues to
- 28:13Speaker 8: be the guy they'll look for. He and Zay Jones
- 28:15Speaker 8: for big plays. They can work around some of the
- 28:18Speaker 8: things that leave when Christian Kirk is off the field,
- 28:22Speaker 8: but the unit has to play better.
- 28:24Speaker 5: Parker Washington did a good job of limited Ashton.
- 28:26Speaker 8: But the thing that showed up to me and we
- 28:28Speaker 8: saw it on the play that Trevor got hurt. Now
- 28:31Speaker 8: that he's in the game, he has to know exactly
- 28:33Speaker 8: what he's doing because they're counting on everybody on the field.
- 28:36Speaker 8: It's know exactly what they're doing so they can get
- 28:38Speaker 8: in the right spots so Trevor Lawrence can throw the
- 28:40Speaker 8: ball on time. That trust has to be there because
- 28:44Speaker 8: the timing is everything, and if he doesn't trust Parker Washington,
- 28:48Speaker 8: it puts him in a bad position because then he
- 28:50Speaker 8: starts to panic and trying.
- 28:51Speaker 5: To figure out where they go next. In the progression.
- 28:53Speaker 8: So this week number eleven has to get ready to play,
- 28:57Speaker 8: or the Jaguars have to just put him in on
- 29:00Speaker 8: a package with a limited menu so we can know
- 29:03Speaker 8: exactly what he do, but he has to know what
- 29:05Speaker 8: to do because it's really important.
- 29:06Speaker 5: That he knows what he's doing.
- 29:07Speaker 6: Yeah, my guess is would be somewhere in the middle there.
- 29:09Speaker 6: I mean, I would think Buck exactly right, you put
- 29:12Speaker 6: him in a package and make sure that he knows
- 29:15Speaker 6: everything that he's doing. I also think Jay Jones, uh,
- 29:22Speaker 6: the trust that he has with Trevor. We talked about
- 29:26Speaker 6: it so much when Zay was out. I thought you
- 29:29Speaker 6: saw a couple of plays the other night where Trevor
- 29:31Speaker 6: clearly trusts that. And I think Jay Jones becomes a
- 29:37Speaker 6: huge factor on third downs and on critical downs because
- 29:40Speaker 6: I think the trust that he has with Ingram and
- 29:42Speaker 6: Wassey is greater than the trust that he even has
- 29:45Speaker 6: with Ridley and certainly with Parker.
- 29:48Speaker 7: So uh, I guess.
- 29:51Speaker 6: I guess this is a long winded way of saying
- 29:53Speaker 6: Thank Goodness's back, because I think without that then you
- 29:57Speaker 6: really would be down.
- 29:58Speaker 7: Now, at least you've got one.
- 30:01Speaker 6: Absolute go to guy in Ridley and two guys with
- 30:03Speaker 6: that chemistry. Look, in the NFL, you're supposed to be
- 30:08Speaker 6: able to withstand one loss, and Christian's a big, big loss.
- 30:12Speaker 6: I think he apologies to say. We talked about all
- 30:16Speaker 6: earlier early in the season. Christians the biggest loss for Trevor.
- 30:20Speaker 6: That's who he trusts the most, that's the most reliable
- 30:23Speaker 6: route runner out of the group.
- 30:25Speaker 7: He's the biggest loss. But they've got three good players.
- 30:28Speaker 7: You should be able to.
- 30:28Speaker 6: Overcome this as long as Trevor's in the game. Now
- 30:31Speaker 6: overcoming both that's a tall drink of water. I don't
- 30:37Speaker 6: know if that's one of Bucketism's or not, but it's
- 30:39Speaker 6: still a tall drink of water.
- 30:41Speaker 2: Be a lot.
- 30:42Speaker 8: I mean, it is a tall drink of water. It
- 30:44Speaker 8: is a huge issue trying to overcome multiple losses. I
- 30:47Speaker 8: think the other thing that didn't come up last week
- 30:50Speaker 8: the didn't have Brent Strange, so they couldn't really go
- 30:53Speaker 8: heavy into the.
- 30:53Speaker 5: Twelve personnel packages.
- 30:55Speaker 8: What you might see is a little more of Luke
- 30:58Speaker 8: Ferrell and Evan Ingram on the field together because even
- 31:01Speaker 8: though it's twelve personnel, one back, two tight ends, Evan
- 31:05Speaker 8: Ingram gives them that flexibility to kind of use him
- 31:07Speaker 8: like a wide receiver. You may see more of those
- 31:10Speaker 8: combinations where they can create mismatches with the Bigs on
- 31:14Speaker 8: the field using Evan Ingram as kind of like the
- 31:17Speaker 8: focal point. We've seen that in the past. It reminds
- 31:20Speaker 8: me of last year when.
- 31:21Speaker 5: He played against the Tennessee Titans, had a big game.
- 31:24Speaker 8: You might see Evan Ingram become more of a featured
- 31:27Speaker 8: player with Christen Kirk out of the lineup changed up
- 31:32Speaker 8: a little bit.
- 31:32Speaker 5: With z A Jones also contributed in a bigger way.
- 31:35Speaker 2: We'll find out.
- 31:36Speaker 6: He's out of the park today. No buckyisms today, but
- 31:40Speaker 6: top an analysis.
- 31:41Speaker 2: That's it.
- 31:42Speaker 6: I hadn't thought about that, but Luke Farrell and Bretton
- 31:44Speaker 6: Strange both really good blocking tight ends, and Farrell's an
- 31:48Speaker 6: underrated passing tight end. You could easily see that change.
- 31:53Speaker 6: So kudos to Buck again three for three final thoughts.
- 31:58Speaker 3: To wrap up the program, I am ahead of Week fourteen,
- 32:01Speaker 3: the Jaguars in the Cleveland Browns coming up this Sunday
- 32:05Speaker 3: at one o'clock, and this is huddle up with Bucky Brooks.
- 32:24Speaker 5: You know, obviously, yeah, you were.
- 32:27Speaker 4: We have an amazing medical staff that takes care of
- 32:30Speaker 4: us and in every way that you could imagine anything
- 32:33Speaker 4: that we need, they're always there. They work pretty much
- 32:36Speaker 4: around the clock to take care of us. So we
- 32:39Speaker 4: got one of, if not the best in the league.
- 32:41Speaker 4: So there's no I mean, I've heard what Romando is
- 32:44Speaker 4: telling me kind of all the stuff that's been going on,
- 32:46Speaker 4: and yeah, I didn't. We talked about getting a cart,
- 32:48Speaker 4: and I was going to get a cart, and then
- 32:50Speaker 4: I'm standing there and you know, I'm already on the
- 32:52Speaker 4: sideline at that point, the tunnels right there. I just
- 32:54Speaker 4: wanted to get off the field, get out of there.
- 32:55Speaker 4: I didn't know what was going on with my ankle,
- 32:57Speaker 4: and I felt like I could get off. I was like, hey,
- 32:58Speaker 4: you're good, just don't bring it out going in. And
- 33:00Speaker 4: then once I got in there, I'm like, this is
- 33:03Speaker 4: a pretty long.
- 33:03Speaker 5: Walk, you know.
- 33:04Speaker 4: But I was already there, and they asked again if
- 33:06Speaker 4: I wanted a card. I'm like, no, we're gonna make
- 33:07Speaker 4: it the whole way there. I didn't know there was
- 33:08Speaker 4: cameras in the tunnel, you know, so that's kind of
- 33:11Speaker 4: there everywhere exactly. So, but no, it's of course we
- 33:15Speaker 4: have carts and we have everything we need, and I
- 33:18Speaker 4: was the one that didn't choose to take one, you know,
- 33:21Speaker 4: so I guess put that on me. Maybe that was dumb,
- 33:23Speaker 4: maybe I should have taken one. Whatever, But it's nothing
- 33:26Speaker 4: to do with us not having a cart available. I
- 33:28Speaker 4: don't think that would that would happen in the National
- 33:30Speaker 4: Football League, especially here with the with the crew that
- 33:33Speaker 4: we have.
- 33:33Speaker 2: So that's the quarterback, of course.
- 33:36Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence today how to up with Bucky Brooks brought
- 33:38Speaker 3: to you by a Fields Auto Group, Jacksonville. Step up
- 33:40Speaker 3: to Luxury Fieldsauto dot Com. Bucky's guy, Colin Cowhard's blasting
- 33:46Speaker 3: the Jaguars today for not having a cart available for
- 33:49Speaker 3: the quarterback, and that's the response Buck.
- 33:51Speaker 2: So there you go.
- 33:52Speaker 5: Look, man, I had I had it a lot.
- 33:54Speaker 8: I was on NFL radio late hits with Andresiciliano and
- 33:58Speaker 8: Max Starks and I'm having to explain them.
- 34:00Speaker 5: Then there are two tunnels.
- 34:02Speaker 8: He elected to go to the tunnel that was closest
- 34:04Speaker 8: to where the injury was, and there was a cart
- 34:07Speaker 8: that was racing to come get him, but he elected
- 34:10Speaker 8: to walk up in the tunnel before the car could
- 34:13Speaker 8: get there. Like their tunnels available, they were gonna make
- 34:15Speaker 8: him like lip all the way into the locker room.
- 34:17Speaker 8: Some of that was him doing the John Wayne thing
- 34:20Speaker 8: and the cowboy in his way up into the tunnel,
- 34:22Speaker 8: showing his toughness.
- 34:24Speaker 6: Well, I think that's a league wide trade. I think
- 34:27Speaker 6: most players. It's tough to get NFL players to walk
- 34:32Speaker 6: weave the field on a cart if they have another option.
- 34:35Speaker 6: So yeah, I think there is an element of that.
- 34:39Speaker 6: So it's the NFL and the social media age is
- 34:45Speaker 6: what you get.
- 34:45Speaker 2: It's silly, is what it is. That's no doubt about that.
- 34:48Speaker 3: So now the Jaguars and the Cleveland Browns quarterback watch
- 34:53Speaker 3: this week.
- 34:53Speaker 2: We'll see what Trevor Lawrence does.
- 34:55Speaker 3: If anything leading into the weekend could be a game
- 34:58Speaker 3: time decision again going off the high ankle sprain.
- 35:02Speaker 5: CJ.
- 35:02Speaker 3: Bethrow would be the backup that would go in his place,
- 35:05Speaker 3: but Trevor has not missed a start in his career.
- 35:08Speaker 3: And it's obviously, as we talked about, a big ball
- 35:10Speaker 3: game in the AFC South Race and the AFC Playoff
- 35:15Speaker 3: race as a whole.
- 35:17Speaker 2: And the Browns right there in at seven and five.
- 35:20Speaker 3: The Jaguars, of course, at eight and four, they are
- 35:22Speaker 3: the number four seed currently the Browns at number six,
- 35:26Speaker 3: so huge all the way around this game this Sunday.
- 35:29Speaker 6: John Bucky's turned me every time I felt after he
- 35:35Speaker 6: made his point about the resilience of this team. Every
- 35:38Speaker 6: time this year I felt sort of bad going in
- 35:40Speaker 6: about a game They've approved me wrong, and I felt
- 35:47Speaker 6: bad all week. I felt like Boys is a tough
- 35:50Speaker 6: Browns matchup. But Bucky, you turned me. The defining trade
- 35:55Speaker 6: of this team, which I used that phrase earlier, has
- 35:58Speaker 6: been their ability to play well when people think they're
- 36:03Speaker 6: not going to. So I'm not gonna lock it. I
- 36:06Speaker 6: think you've already locked it. But no matter who plays quarterback,
- 36:11Speaker 6: I think it's dangerous not to believe in this team
- 36:14Speaker 6: in this situation.
- 36:17Speaker 5: Well, I'm glad I was so influential. I'm glad I
- 36:20Speaker 5: was persuasions and stuff.
- 36:21Speaker 7: You're a big influence on me, Bucky.
- 36:23Speaker 5: Yeah, my tenth grade English teacher Ms.
- 36:25Speaker 8: Watson would appreciate that some of the lessons that we
- 36:28Speaker 8: learned during debates.
- 36:29Speaker 5: It kind of worked.
- 36:31Speaker 8: But look, here's the thing, like, we have to call
- 36:34Speaker 8: the team what it is after but with twelve thirteen games,
- 36:38Speaker 8: the identity has been there, and the identity has been.
- 36:40Speaker 8: When this team has been back into a corner, they
- 36:42Speaker 8: play well. For whatever reason, they haven't.
- 36:44Speaker 5: Played well at home, and so this game is on
- 36:46Speaker 5: the road. We've seen them play well on the road.
- 36:48Speaker 5: They're playing against the teams that also has a backup.
- 36:50Speaker 8: Quarterback or a young quarterback in DT are playing, they
- 36:54Speaker 8: will play much better. The pride will make the defense
- 36:59Speaker 8: that have forced the d because they played better, because
- 37:00Speaker 8: they were embarrassed by their performance. That Jake Browning would
- 37:03Speaker 8: have over three hundred yards complete almost ninety percent of
- 37:05Speaker 8: his passes. In those things, you're getting much better performance
- 37:08Speaker 8: from the team.
- 37:09Speaker 5: Now.
- 37:09Speaker 8: It's just about doing the little things, taking care of
- 37:11Speaker 8: the ball, eliminating the pre staff penalties, and then not.
- 37:15Speaker 5: Giving up the big plays they do. Those things don't
- 37:17Speaker 5: win the game, and expecting me to fully do it
- 37:19Speaker 5: all Sunday.
- 37:20Speaker 2: There you have it.
- 37:21Speaker 3: That'll do it for our program today, Bucky Brooks, have
- 37:24Speaker 3: a great week, and we'll talk to you on Sunday.
- 37:26Speaker 3: In rainy Cleveland, eighty percent chants and temperatures in the
- 37:31Speaker 3: low fifties, so bundle up and stay drive Buck.
- 37:35Speaker 8: I was not hoping for the rainy forecast. Maybe it
- 37:38Speaker 8: a change got a couple of days.
- 37:39Speaker 5: Maybe it a change.
- 37:40Speaker 2: It's Cleveland. If it changes, it might only get worse.
- 37:42Speaker 7: You know where it's not gonna be raining Buck press box.
- 37:45Speaker 5: Oh, I know, I know.
- 37:47Speaker 2: Oh John Drive the studio. That's Bucky Brooks and John Oser.
