- 0:24Speaker 3: Shadrick and John Oser from the Honday Studios at the
- 0:27Speaker 3: Miller Electric Center in Jacksonville. Bucky Brooks in LA and
- 0:31Speaker 3: we've got a lot to discuss going in a week
- 0:34Speaker 3: seventeen the Panthers and the Jaguars coming up Sunday at
- 0:37Speaker 3: one o'clock. Injury updates, including yet again the quarterback and
- 0:44Speaker 3: the AFC playoff race is red hot now with two
- 0:48Speaker 3: weeks to go. Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks brought to
- 0:50Speaker 3: you by Field's Auto Group, Jacksonville. Step up to Luxury
- 0:54Speaker 3: Fieldsauto Dot Com. John Good, Afternoon, New DAP, holl Right,
- 0:59Speaker 3: I'm well, May I hope you have to marry Christmas.
- 1:02Speaker 2: Bucky to you. Welcome back to work?
- 1:05Speaker 4: I think, yeah, back to work, back to work. Uh
- 1:09Speaker 4: want to know you're gonna go one to know this week.
- 1:12Speaker 3: You want to know this week, you better go one
- 1:14Speaker 3: to know because if you don't, then the other teams
- 1:17Speaker 3: have to lose for you to to be in the
- 1:21Speaker 3: at the top of the heap again. So these are
- 1:24Speaker 3: as must win as they come. Bucky, here we are, Yeah.
- 1:28Speaker 4: Here we are. No matter what it looks like, We're
- 1:31Speaker 4: still here.
- 1:33Speaker 5: The look, the Colts and the Texans both did the
- 1:36Speaker 5: Jags of favor by losing their games, and so now
- 1:39Speaker 5: you have an opportunity to maybe by the end of
- 1:41Speaker 5: the day wrap up the division. As crazy as that
- 1:44Speaker 5: would sound, but a win and then two losses and
- 1:47Speaker 5: it'd be over. Like I think they can alof scenario
- 1:50Speaker 5: like it's it's a wrap. And so if you think
- 1:53Speaker 5: about like all of that and you just say, hey,
- 1:56Speaker 5: if we just focused in, guys and just win the
- 1:58Speaker 5: game just in front of us, good things are going
- 2:00Speaker 5: to happen. Because then with the tiebreakers and all that,
- 2:03Speaker 5: it just makes it very very likely that you can
- 2:05Speaker 5: get into the postseason if you can just take care
- 2:07Speaker 5: of your business.
- 2:08Speaker 6: Yeah, and they ought to do it. They're capable of
- 2:13Speaker 6: doing it. If they play as well as they're capable,
- 2:16Speaker 6: they should do it. But last week they didn't come
- 2:20Speaker 6: close to that. I'm not one to say necessarily that
- 2:25Speaker 6: that game has to define the season. I don't think
- 2:27Speaker 6: that game even really defines this losing streak, if you
- 2:30Speaker 6: follow me, because the first three games in the losing streak,
- 2:33Speaker 6: I sort of understood Cincinnati's good, Cleveland's really good, Baltimore
- 2:41Speaker 6: maybe the best team in football, and you were tight
- 2:44Speaker 6: with them late. It was a player or two here
- 2:46Speaker 6: or there, and even the Ravens you played them there
- 2:48Speaker 6: than the forty nine ers did. And then I you know, JP,
- 2:53Speaker 6: Unfortunately for you you have to read me every day.
- 2:56Speaker 6: I don't know how to explain Sunday, and I don't
- 2:59Speaker 6: necessarily I feel like there's a whole lot to analyze,
- 3:03Speaker 6: a whole lot of whibble room if they don't play
- 3:07Speaker 6: with more urgency and to use Doug's worth, they say
- 3:09Speaker 6: of the game pride on Sunday, they won't.
- 3:12Speaker 4: Win, So.
- 3:14Speaker 7: Do it and let's stop talking about it.
- 3:15Speaker 3: I mean there's a lot of that in the locker
- 3:17Speaker 3: room today, Bucky. I mean, yeah, what else can they
- 3:20Speaker 3: say that they haven't said that they haven't been able
- 3:23Speaker 3: to do already, So at some point put up or
- 3:27Speaker 3: shut up.
- 3:28Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a lot of that.
- 3:29Speaker 5: But here's what I would say that is what's going
- 3:32Speaker 5: on from like a team perspective. When you lose games,
- 3:35Speaker 5: you begin to lose confidence. And so when you start
- 3:38Speaker 5: having these long streaks where you're not for in a row,
- 3:42Speaker 5: you begin to question and doubt everything that takes place.
- 3:45Speaker 4: And so early in contest.
- 3:46Speaker 5: If it doesn't go your way, you then begin to
- 3:49Speaker 5: think about, oh, here we go again, when is the
- 3:52Speaker 5: other shoe going to drop? And so as look and
- 3:55Speaker 5: I heard Doug say this and everybody else, like, no
- 3:57Speaker 5: one's going to save you, no one's going to stop
- 3:59Speaker 5: you from this free frawl. Like you have to kind
- 4:02Speaker 5: of dig yourself out of it. And the only way
- 4:04Speaker 5: that the Jacks can really work their way out of
- 4:06Speaker 5: this rut is really by focusing on one play at
- 4:10Speaker 5: a time, then break it up into one quarter at
- 4:12Speaker 5: a time, and then you try and get to the
- 4:14Speaker 5: half and the next quarter in those things. But you
- 4:17Speaker 5: got to break the game down to its smallest parts
- 4:19Speaker 5: and just see if you can focus on stacking some
- 4:21Speaker 5: positive outcomes and those small incremental areas and then eventually
- 4:27Speaker 5: it'll lead to a win. But look, I mean this
- 4:29Speaker 5: is as bad as it gets in terms of like
- 4:32Speaker 5: just falling.
- 4:32Speaker 4: But they can take solace in the fact.
- 4:34Speaker 5: That man a couple months ago to Buffalo Bills were
- 4:36Speaker 5: left four dead and here they are locking in. People
- 4:39Speaker 5: are talking about they may be the best team in
- 4:41Speaker 5: the AFC. You think about the San Francisco forty nine ers,
- 4:43Speaker 5: they had lost three in a.
- 4:44Speaker 4: Row before they faced us. To feel that if you
- 4:46Speaker 4: Eagles have lost three in a row.
- 4:47Speaker 5: So every team that is in the tournament has had
- 4:50Speaker 5: to deal with some kind of adversity. I mean, the
- 4:52Speaker 5: Buccaneers had lost six of seven before they played us,
- 4:56Speaker 5: and so it's just a matter of can you get
- 4:58Speaker 5: out the snide when you learn the lessons that you
- 5:01Speaker 5: need to learn from the losses and then make it
- 5:04Speaker 5: help you become a better team.
- 5:06Speaker 6: Yeah, Bucky said something early in that that really resonated
- 5:11Speaker 6: to me. Maybe I'm wrong, but the first couple of
- 5:14Speaker 6: drives Sunday, get a lead, get some confidence, I think
- 5:21Speaker 6: is critical. They haven't led since the end of the
- 5:23Speaker 6: Cincinnati game, and right now, first score for these other
- 5:30Speaker 6: teams just feels like a gut punch that you're not
- 5:33Speaker 6: going to get over. So I think early on on
- 5:36Speaker 6: Sunday is absolutely critical. You know, I don't want to
- 5:40Speaker 6: be taking notes in my notebook JP and have it
- 5:43Speaker 6: be ten Oh Carolina because of some flukey play, because
- 5:47Speaker 6: I mean, I thought for three months this was a
- 5:52Speaker 6: really mentally tough team that sort of scrapped and clawed
- 5:55Speaker 6: and played hard. I'm not seeing that right now. So
- 6:01Speaker 6: I don't know that they can overcome a body blow early.
- 6:03Speaker 6: I hope they prove me wrong, but right now this
- 6:08Speaker 6: does not look like that sort of a teams. I
- 6:09Speaker 6: think the first quarter in this game is critical to
- 6:12Speaker 6: get some confidence.
- 6:12Speaker 5: Back Jao and thinking about that, like, here's what I say,
- 6:16Speaker 5: is critical in all those games. And I think most
- 6:19Speaker 5: of the streets early on we missed an early field.
- 6:21Speaker 4: Goal, you know what I'm saying.
- 6:23Speaker 5: And I know they're long distance field goals, but those misses, look,
- 6:27Speaker 5: I think they send this the team spiraling, because no
- 6:30Speaker 5: one will outwardly say this, but man, when you begin
- 6:33Speaker 5: to lose confidence in your kicker or you begin to
- 6:36Speaker 5: like miss those opportunities, now you begin to doubt in
- 6:39Speaker 5: question and you just wanted so now you have offensive
- 6:42Speaker 5: guys maybe pressing to do more and all of those things,
- 6:45Speaker 5: and so you are right, a fast start with remedy,
- 6:49Speaker 5: a lot of the roles that are troubling the.
- 6:51Speaker 4: Jaguars right now, and so everyone needs to be more.
- 6:53Speaker 5: Someone needs to need to put it in the paint
- 6:55Speaker 5: or Brandon McMahon's needs to knock it through.
- 6:56Speaker 2: That breaks suddle up with Bucky Brooks.
- 6:59Speaker 3: And of course, the status of Trevor Lawrence is a
- 7:02Speaker 3: huge storyline this week, as it has been for a
- 7:04Speaker 3: lot of weeks as of late. Ac joint sprain and
- 7:08Speaker 3: his right throwing shoulder was not out there today practicing.
- 7:12Speaker 3: He was off to the side, had a little the
- 7:15Speaker 3: play wristband on the old Tom Maddie special right the wristband,
- 7:21Speaker 3: and then was standing over there with the coaches off
- 7:24Speaker 3: to the side at least in the opening time when
- 7:26Speaker 3: we were out there, and hey, they're just gonna kind
- 7:29Speaker 3: of wait and see how this goes.
- 7:30Speaker 2: Day to day.
- 7:31Speaker 3: And you know, obviously not out there today, but it's
- 7:35Speaker 3: been a banged up back half of the season, from
- 7:37Speaker 3: the knee to the high ankle sprain to the concussion
- 7:39Speaker 3: going into last week. He's been able to go after
- 7:43Speaker 3: all those two of those on short weeks, but now
- 7:46Speaker 3: this was just kind of you know ac joint sprain.
- 7:49Speaker 3: I'm gonna ask the athletic trainer in the room, Bucky Brooks,
- 7:54Speaker 3: former player, who I don't know if you've ever had
- 7:56Speaker 3: an ac joint sprain. I'm gonna guess you might have.
- 8:00Speaker 5: I have, and if I could, I won't this rope
- 8:02Speaker 5: for you. Guys, you would staying out on the older
- 8:04Speaker 5: right here from doing it multiple times, and I can
- 8:08Speaker 5: tell you that it's extremely painful and it really hurts,
- 8:11Speaker 5: and there's nothing that they can do. They can't give
- 8:13Speaker 5: you a magic peeled or shoot it up or do
- 8:16Speaker 5: anything like that to make the paying go away, because
- 8:18Speaker 5: when you land on it and you're crunched on it
- 8:20Speaker 5: like it hurts. It's one of the many elements that
- 8:22Speaker 5: Trevor Lawrence would have to deal with. The one thing
- 8:26Speaker 5: that I wonder at some point he hasn't been able
- 8:31Speaker 5: to practice because of all the injuries in those things.
- 8:34Speaker 5: I do wonder if it gets to a point where
- 8:37Speaker 5: maybe you sit him out for a game to let
- 8:39Speaker 5: him kind of get back so.
- 8:41Speaker 4: Then he can come back, he can practice. He can and.
- 8:44Speaker 5: Play at I want to say four strength, but at
- 8:46Speaker 5: a better strength than just kind of like patching it together.
- 8:50Speaker 4: And playing.
- 8:51Speaker 5: And I know when you look at both games and
- 8:53Speaker 5: you'll say, hey, both games are gonna be tough, and
- 8:54Speaker 5: they are going to be tough. I do wonder, with
- 8:58Speaker 5: Trevor being unable to practice and so many of the
- 9:00Speaker 5: flaws and the issues that the offense is having because
- 9:03Speaker 5: of the lack of continuity, how much does his absence
- 9:07Speaker 5: from practice kind of continue the disruption that they have
- 9:11Speaker 5: in terms of being on the same page and the miscommunications.
- 9:15Speaker 6: Yeah, I couldn't agree more. I mean, that's been theme
- 9:16Speaker 6: I've been hitting all week. I the only way I
- 9:20Speaker 6: could see him not playing is if he can't If
- 9:23Speaker 6: he can't practice tomorrow and they go in another week.
- 9:26Speaker 7: JP with you know, it was a d n P last.
- 9:29Speaker 6: Week Wednesday and Thursday and very limited Friday. The way
- 9:34Speaker 6: it's gone the last two games when he hasn't practiced,
- 9:40Speaker 6: that gives me pause. I mean, he's your best chance
- 9:43Speaker 6: to win, et cetera. But I don't understanily know that
- 9:47Speaker 6: it's all Trevor Lawrence. But the fact that he isn't
- 9:49Speaker 6: practicing is that what's causing the receivers not to be
- 9:53Speaker 6: picking up some things in that offense. Just that continuity thing.
- 9:59Speaker 6: I don't know. I mean that there's any way to know,
- 10:01Speaker 6: but that does it feels to me like it's maybe
- 10:07Speaker 6: more a chance of him not playing that it has
- 10:09Speaker 6: been so far. When I say that, obviously last week
- 10:12Speaker 6: the concussion was big too, but I think it's really
- 10:15Speaker 6: dice it was.
- 10:15Speaker 3: A throwing shoulder. I mean, let's let's be honest with you, Bucky.
- 10:18Speaker 3: I mean, that's if he can't throw the ball effectively.
- 10:20Speaker 3: You know he's having all this stuff anyway. I mean,
- 10:24Speaker 3: all of a sudden you can't throw it, then you
- 10:25Speaker 3: really can't operate the offense, and then the risk.
- 10:28Speaker 2: Of further injury with this thing. You don't want that
- 10:31Speaker 2: at all.
- 10:31Speaker 3: However, the other balanced, Bucky, to your point is is
- 10:36Speaker 3: a seventy five percent Trevor Lawrence your best chance to
- 10:39Speaker 3: win that quarterback.
- 10:41Speaker 5: I mean, so look, I can understand why you have
- 10:44Speaker 5: to like suit him up and push him to play
- 10:47Speaker 5: because you haven't been able to do anything on the
- 10:50Speaker 5: other side.
- 10:50Speaker 4: Like if you if you could tell me that, a, the.
- 10:52Speaker 5: Offense is gonna be okay because you can run the
- 10:54Speaker 5: football fo one hundred and fifty yards and that's gonna
- 10:56Speaker 5: be enough to.
- 10:57Speaker 4: Uh provide CJ. Bethritt with a enough.
- 11:00Speaker 5: Balance that he doesn't have to win it on his own. Yeah,
- 11:03Speaker 5: it makes sense to sit Trevor. But right now, man,
- 11:05Speaker 5: it's been bad. It's been no movement on the running game.
- 11:09Speaker 5: You haven't been able to run it. You're having to
- 11:10Speaker 5: throw it every down. When you throw it every now,
- 11:13Speaker 5: you don't have enough protection to be able to push
- 11:15Speaker 5: it down the field.
- 11:16Speaker 4: So it's a lot of screens and short things. And
- 11:19Speaker 4: it is.
- 11:20Speaker 5: Tough because right now there's been so many injuries and
- 11:24Speaker 5: so like the revolving door everywhere at all the positions,
- 11:28Speaker 5: it's just hard to hang your hat on anything to
- 11:30Speaker 5: be the Jaguar.
- 11:31Speaker 4: So yeah, with all that in mind, Yeah, having Trevor played.
- 11:40Speaker 2: Lost, Bucky there Je Bucky's out now, So what are
- 11:44Speaker 2: your thoughts on that?
- 11:45Speaker 7: John? But I think we're sitting here watching.
- 11:48Speaker 6: Highlights where they stream passed and Colevan Atlanta and Tim
- 11:54Speaker 6: Jones were both in the picture. Not a knock on
- 11:56Speaker 6: those two, but they're deep in the depth chart. So
- 11:59Speaker 6: I think Bucky's point exactly right. You know, so much
- 12:02Speaker 6: of that continuity flow whatever has been gone. I you know,
- 12:10Speaker 6: the lack of continuity and practice and the practice performance
- 12:16Speaker 6: or the game performance post non practicing is the X factor.
- 12:20Speaker 6: I don't I don't think Doug would would ever tell
- 12:23Speaker 6: you they have a better chance to win with CJ.
- 12:25Speaker 6: Beth in the game, except if there are just no
- 12:30Speaker 6: reps and no flow at all from Trevor going into
- 12:33Speaker 6: the game, then I think he might consider is this
- 12:36Speaker 6: a week where we have to say you just haven't
- 12:39Speaker 6: practiced enough and we've seen that.
- 12:43Speaker 7: I don't know.
- 12:44Speaker 6: That that's a given that that's the case, but I
- 12:46Speaker 6: think it has to be considered.
- 12:47Speaker 3: All right, guys, let's come back in a moment. We'll
- 12:49Speaker 3: get into the Carolina Panthers. They're coming to town a
- 12:53Speaker 3: little bit of confidence, maybe they got nothing to lose,
- 12:58Speaker 3: and they're playing a little better football.
- 12:59Speaker 2: We'll get to them coming up in a minute. Bootleggers,
- 13:02Speaker 2: get ready.
- 13:03Speaker 3: Luke Combs is bringing two nights of They're Growing Up
- 13:05Speaker 3: and Getting Old tour to the Bank May third and fourth,
- 13:09Speaker 3: different special guests each night. Tickets on sale now at
- 13:12Speaker 3: EverBank Stadium dot com. It's Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks.
- 13:22Speaker 8: Family Bust where I do get a little, you know,
- 13:24Speaker 8: quicker maybe than some people, and then just you know,
- 13:26Speaker 8: our training staff does a great job. Our medical team,
- 13:29Speaker 8: I think we have great plans for coming back and
- 13:32Speaker 8: you know, being able to get back quickly. I think
- 13:36Speaker 8: they've done a great job of just you know, taking
- 13:38Speaker 8: me through different protocols and strengthening whatever it is, treatment,
- 13:42Speaker 8: strengthening all those things to stay.
- 13:43Speaker 4: On top of it.
- 13:45Speaker 8: I think that's part of it, too, is preparing your
- 13:47Speaker 8: body a certain way to where these limit injuries, but
- 13:50Speaker 8: when they do come up, you kind of minimize them.
- 13:53Speaker 8: So I think it's a mixture of all those things.
- 13:55Speaker 3: That's quarterback Trevor Lawrence earlier today Welcome Back. Huddle Up
- 13:59Speaker 3: with Bucky Brooks continues on this Wednesday, JP Shadrick, John Osher,
- 14:02Speaker 3: and Jacksonville at the Miller Electric Center in the Hyundai
- 14:05Speaker 3: Studios Bucky Brooks in Los Angeles. A full press conference
- 14:09Speaker 3: from Trevor Lawrence and yesterday at least from head coach
- 14:13Speaker 3: Doug Peterson and the coordinators. Today press Taylor and Mike
- 14:16Speaker 3: Caldwell available at Jaguars dot Com or the Jaguars YouTube channel.
- 14:20Speaker 3: And the final home game of the regular season is
- 14:22Speaker 3: coming up this Sunday, December thirty. First, it's the Fan
- 14:25Speaker 3: Appreciation game. Go to Jaguars dot Com slash tickets. We're
- 14:29Speaker 3: called nine oh four six three three two thousand, the
- 14:32Speaker 3: Jaguars and the Panthers and now Bucky. Back to back
- 14:36Speaker 3: weeks of former number one overall picks going at it.
- 14:40Speaker 3: Of course, Bryce Young on the other side this week.
- 14:43Speaker 3: He was the number one overall pick this year. The
- 14:45Speaker 3: Panthers traded away a bunch to get up there, and
- 14:50Speaker 3: you know, John he's you know, he's had a rough year,
- 14:54Speaker 3: and Trevor talked about it today a little bit. Hey, Yeah,
- 14:57Speaker 3: it kind of mirrors what I had to go through,
- 15:00Speaker 3: Trevor being in twenty twenty one, and just keep at
- 15:05Speaker 3: it and keep fighting, and that's what Bryce Young feels
- 15:08Speaker 3: like he's done. They got to win a couple of
- 15:09Speaker 3: weeks ago in the nasty conditions against the Falcons and
- 15:13Speaker 3: played the Packers hard last week too.
- 15:14Speaker 6: He starts seeing things like that, and obviously obviously calls
- 15:18Speaker 6: to mind. In Trevor's rookie season, a lot went wrong,
- 15:21Speaker 6: and then that team kept fighting under Darryl Bevell and
- 15:26Speaker 6: blew out the Colts in the last regular season game
- 15:28Speaker 6: on the you know, at home, and Trevor played really
- 15:31Speaker 6: well and sort of gave us a glimpse of what
- 15:34Speaker 6: we all sort of knew he could be. So that's
- 15:39Speaker 6: what you don't want to see Sunday. I mean, I'm
- 15:41Speaker 6: not trying to make light of it, but talented kid
- 15:45Speaker 6: and a team in Carolina that you know, they're not
- 15:50Speaker 6: thinking that this is the core of what they're gonna be.
- 15:53Speaker 6: There's gonna be changing in the off season, but they
- 15:56Speaker 6: seem to be sort of taking that replacement camaraderie approach,
- 16:01Speaker 6: if you will, where they're playing for the now. They're
- 16:04Speaker 6: having fun and not calling these guys replacements. But you
- 16:07Speaker 6: don't getting there's nothing to play for, but they sort
- 16:09Speaker 6: of seem like they're playing for each other, playing loose,
- 16:11Speaker 6: having fun, and that makes a team dangerous. It's another
- 16:14Speaker 6: reason why the lead is so important on Sunday because
- 16:17Speaker 6: a team like that, if you get up on them,
- 16:21Speaker 6: you start seeing a lot of slump shoulders.
- 16:23Speaker 7: Okay, well forget it.
- 16:25Speaker 6: If they get up on you, then they look at
- 16:27Speaker 6: each other and say, well, we're here anyway, let's go
- 16:29Speaker 6: ahead and win.
- 16:30Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 16:31Speaker 6: I mean, and Bucket can speak to that more. But
- 16:34Speaker 6: I do believe in late season games, the team that
- 16:37Speaker 6: is playing for something I always believe has a big
- 16:43Speaker 6: advantage motivation, et cetera. But if that other team has hope,
- 16:49Speaker 6: then all of a sudden they just start throwing caution
- 16:51Speaker 6: to the wind, and you know then anything can happen
- 16:54Speaker 6: in that game.
- 16:55Speaker 3: You know, Bryce Young, number one overall pick out of Alabama,
- 16:59Speaker 3: and though he's been beat up and run around and
- 17:03Speaker 3: now starting to find his way a little bit here
- 17:05Speaker 3: in this later in the season. Two to twelve record
- 17:08Speaker 3: this year, of course for Carolina, but approaching three thousand
- 17:12Speaker 3: yards for the season, hasn't thrown many touchdowns eleven touchdowns,
- 17:15Speaker 3: nine picks this year for Young, and see if the
- 17:19Speaker 3: Jags defense can get to him. If the Jags defense
- 17:22Speaker 3: doesn't get to him, he can stand back there and
- 17:24Speaker 3: pick you apart. He's got that kind of talent and
- 17:27Speaker 3: arm talent to be able to do that in patience
- 17:29Speaker 3: if he has a clean pocket, which many quarterbacks can do,
- 17:32Speaker 3: but him more than most.
- 17:34Speaker 7: Well against rookie quarterbacks.
- 17:36Speaker 6: You want to create avalanches in doubt, meaning avalanche is
- 17:40Speaker 6: of pressure where you have a couple of series where
- 17:42Speaker 6: that doubt rolls in.
- 17:44Speaker 7: You get pressure, you get.
- 17:45Speaker 6: A couple of turnovers, and you separate He's a talented kid.
- 17:49Speaker 6: If you don't separate from him, he's capable of making
- 17:52Speaker 6: plays at the end of the game to win.
- 17:55Speaker 7: This is I thought Doug Peterson.
- 17:58Speaker 6: Really said it best when he talked about this on
- 18:00Speaker 6: on Tuesday. The things that this team has to do
- 18:03Speaker 6: are so simple. Stop turning the ball over, tackle well.
- 18:09Speaker 6: Those two things should create game situations where they get
- 18:12Speaker 6: to their other strength, which is takeaways. It plays into
- 18:16Speaker 6: this being a Jaguars win if they do the things
- 18:20Speaker 6: that they've been strong at all season. I have to
- 18:25Speaker 6: assume in that sense that the Buccaneers game was a
- 18:29Speaker 6: one off and this team will play well because I
- 18:31Speaker 6: think they've played well in spots this year that they
- 18:35Speaker 6: didn't play well on Sunday, even taking the losing streak
- 18:38Speaker 6: into consideration, Sunday was so bad that I can't believe
- 18:43Speaker 6: they won't play better than that. If they play better
- 18:46Speaker 6: than that, then I think they do stop the run
- 18:48Speaker 6: against the Carolina team. You should able to stop the
- 18:50Speaker 6: run against and then create turnovers.
- 18:52Speaker 5: Bucky, Yeah, yeah, I would say this going all the
- 18:56Speaker 5: way back to the Buccaneers game.
- 18:57Speaker 4: I think the Buccaneers.
- 18:58Speaker 5: Game, you really look at the tay if you look
- 19:01Speaker 5: at it from the defense standpoint, they didn't play nearly
- 19:03Speaker 5: as bad as it's portrayed.
- 19:05Speaker 4: The turnovers really crushed them early in the game.
- 19:07Speaker 5: They kind of had it the way they wanted it
- 19:09Speaker 5: in terms of letting them have the yards with playing
- 19:13Speaker 5: good red zone defense. They did that the first couple
- 19:15Speaker 5: of times down and they were having success. They had
- 19:18Speaker 5: an unfortunate penalty on Andre Cisco that extended to drive.
- 19:21Speaker 5: They missed some tackles and critical moments that allowed the
- 19:24Speaker 5: Buccaneers to convert and sustain some drives. But if they
- 19:28Speaker 5: take a similar approach against the Carolina Panthers, they should
- 19:32Speaker 5: have success. The thing that the Panthers don't have is
- 19:34Speaker 5: they don't have big time wide house on the outside.
- 19:37Speaker 5: Adam Steelen is a good player, but he's not Mike Evans.
- 19:39Speaker 5: He's not Chris Godwin.
- 19:41Speaker 4: He can hurt you, and he hurts you in a
- 19:42Speaker 4: different way. They should be able to cover them.
- 19:45Speaker 5: I think of all the weeks when we talk about simplifying.
- 19:48Speaker 4: And really being able to just kind of make the
- 19:50Speaker 4: plan easy. This should be a very basic.
- 19:53Speaker 5: Game plan for Mike callwell, allow your guys to play fast,
- 19:58Speaker 5: focus on getting to the ball, making good tackles and
- 20:02Speaker 5: doing that stuff.
- 20:03Speaker 4: If you do that, you may have a chance to win.
- 20:07Speaker 6: What do you like about how much would one early
- 20:10Speaker 6: turnovers this week help JP?
- 20:12Speaker 8: Oh?
- 20:12Speaker 2: Huge? I mean they haven't they haven't had that and
- 20:15Speaker 2: just kind of changing. And they had a.
- 20:17Speaker 3: Couple of weeks ago they had turnovers earlier in the
- 20:20Speaker 3: game and the offense just couldn't do anything with them.
- 20:22Speaker 6: Right, And Sunday was one of the most uncomplimentary games
- 20:27Speaker 6: I've seen in a long time.
- 20:29Speaker 7: You know, you know about complimentary football.
- 20:31Speaker 6: Not only did they have turnovers, but then the Jaguars
- 20:34Speaker 6: defense followed that by having three tough series right after
- 20:37Speaker 6: the turnovers, didn't get those stops that you're sort of
- 20:40Speaker 6: helping a guy out. So you talk about playing playing
- 20:44Speaker 6: complimentary football. That felt like sort of the opposite to me.
- 20:49Speaker 2: Hey, you like Bryce though, you like Bryce young Bucky.
- 20:53Speaker 4: Look, I think he has a chance to be a
- 20:55Speaker 4: really good player.
- 20:56Speaker 5: The only concern that I had going in when we
- 20:57Speaker 5: talked about like being number one overall is when we
- 21:00Speaker 5: see him in real time this week, he is noticeably
- 21:03Speaker 5: smaller than.
- 21:04Speaker 4: Any other quarterback that we've seen in the position.
- 21:06Speaker 5: He's smaller, He's slender, and so you just worry how
- 21:10Speaker 5: that's going to play out over long term in terms
- 21:13Speaker 5: of the moxy to talent, the intelligence he has, all
- 21:15Speaker 5: of those takes. This is a week that I am
- 21:18Speaker 5: sure on the defensive part of the practice field they're
- 21:20Speaker 5: working on getting their hands up to see if they
- 21:22Speaker 5: can bat some passes down. You want to make sure
- 21:25Speaker 5: that he has to see through the trees and see
- 21:27Speaker 5: if you can maybe force him into some turnovers just
- 21:30Speaker 5: on a deflected pass or an ant throw that he
- 21:33Speaker 5: has to throw too high because he can't get it
- 21:35Speaker 5: over the guys in front of him. He's a good player,
- 21:39Speaker 5: he doesn't have enough around him to fully utilize his skills.
- 21:43Speaker 4: But that's Carolina's problem. The Jaguars need to win.
- 21:45Speaker 5: They need to find a way to kind of make
- 21:46Speaker 5: him uncomfortable and see if they can force him into
- 21:49Speaker 5: some mistakes.
- 21:50Speaker 2: Five two four, same size as Kylin Murray.
- 21:53Speaker 4: That's a generous that's a generous two four.
- 21:55Speaker 5: That's a very generous two o four' that's me going
- 21:59Speaker 5: to take my physical Let's.
- 22:00Speaker 4: Say, hey, no, doc, I'm still in my playing way.
- 22:04Speaker 2: Not quite huh. Hey, we're back in a moment.
- 22:07Speaker 3: Plenty more ahead of this Panthers Jaguars match up and

- 22:22Speaker 2: This is Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks.
- 22:29Speaker 9: You get in situations like that where where you feel
- 22:32Speaker 9: or you come away with, uh, you know, a feeling that.
- 22:35Speaker 10: That you know a team, you know they were they
- 22:39Speaker 10: were playing for the same things that we were playing.
- 22:41Speaker 9: For, right and and they did everything they needed to
- 22:43Speaker 9: do to win the.
- 22:44Speaker 4: Game and we didn't. But yeah, you you.
- 22:47Speaker 10: Know, you lean on the leadership council, the leaders of
- 22:50Speaker 10: your team, lean on the coaches more and you know,
- 22:55Speaker 10: just just lock in and focus, uh during the week
- 22:57Speaker 10: and then prepare for another game.
- 22:58Speaker 3: This Sunday, I said, go Doug Peterson yesterday on a
- 23:02Speaker 3: zoom call with the media and this is huddle up
- 23:04Speaker 3: with Bucky Brooks, JP Shadwick, John Oser and yeah, Bucky
- 23:08Speaker 3: Brooks with us ahead of week seventeen.
- 23:12Speaker 2: Amazing, it's come this.
- 23:14Speaker 3: Far and here we are with two weeks to go,
- 23:16Speaker 3: the Jaguars and the Carolina Panthers coming up, and yeah,
- 23:21Speaker 3: it just felt like and we saw, you know how
- 23:25Speaker 3: this is Bucky and you're there close to it on
- 23:27Speaker 3: the sideline during the game, and of course you're talking
- 23:31Speaker 3: to Doug Peterson after the game on the radio in
- 23:34Speaker 3: our postgame show and all that you hear a just
- 23:37Speaker 3: dejection and a loss and trying to figure some things out.
- 23:41Speaker 3: And then that was on Tuesday. That was two days later,
- 23:44Speaker 3: and still kind of standing by a lot of the
- 23:48Speaker 3: things that came out postgame from that performance.
- 23:51Speaker 2: And you know, the process maybe doesn't change.
- 23:56Speaker 7: A whole lot.
- 23:56Speaker 3: You still have to go through and do the work
- 23:59Speaker 3: that's needed every day to get right and ready. But
- 24:02Speaker 3: at some point the result has the change. And he
- 24:05Speaker 3: can only take it so far. He can't walk out
- 24:07Speaker 3: onto the field and play it.
- 24:09Speaker 4: No, he can't walk out on the field and play
- 24:11Speaker 4: it for them.
- 24:11Speaker 5: But I mean, everybody is responsible for when your team
- 24:15Speaker 5: doesn't win, just like everybody's responsible for contributing when the
- 24:19Speaker 5: team wins. The thing about it when you're losing, like
- 24:22Speaker 5: what coaches and players can do is they can't get
- 24:24Speaker 5: to pointing the finger and playing the blame game. As
- 24:27Speaker 5: much as the players are responsible for the lackluster effort,
- 24:29Speaker 5: not taking care of the ball, the pre snap penalties
- 24:32Speaker 5: and blown coverages, all those other things. Coaches also have
- 24:35Speaker 5: to examine, do we give our guys the best plan?
- 24:38Speaker 5: What can our guys do? Are we doing too much?
- 24:41Speaker 5: Are we really playing to the strengths of the team
- 24:43Speaker 5: that we have in front of us as opposed to
- 24:46Speaker 5: the ideal picture that we had and how we thought
- 24:49Speaker 5: we were going to play going in. You know, and
- 24:51Speaker 5: sometimes you have to adapt and adjust to your personnel.
- 24:55Speaker 4: It's since look, we're the critical juncture of the season
- 24:57Speaker 4: where they have to find a way to win by enemies.
- 24:59Speaker 5: Necess that urgency should not only exist in the locker room,
- 25:03Speaker 5: but it has to exist in the meeting rooms around
- 25:05Speaker 5: the building with the coaches. Everybody has to do whatever
- 25:08Speaker 5: it takes to win, whether that's sitting people down, whether
- 25:11Speaker 5: that's cutting the plan, expanding the plan.
- 25:13Speaker 4: Or whatever.
- 25:14Speaker 5: You just got to make sure that you're doing the
- 25:16Speaker 5: right things to give your team the best chance to
- 25:18Speaker 5: have success on Sunday, Yeah.
- 25:20Speaker 6: And I hope I think they will, but I hope
- 25:25Speaker 6: there's a realization about how rare this opportunity is. Yes,
- 25:31Speaker 6: you've lost four, but this team hasn't won back to
- 25:35Speaker 6: back division titles since nineteen ninety nine.
- 25:38Speaker 7: In ninety eight, its weren't born yet.
- 25:40Speaker 6: Yeah, so there is still not only that, but how
- 25:46Speaker 6: you're remembered after a season. This season doesn't have to
- 25:51Speaker 6: be remembered for this past month.
- 25:53Speaker 7: Yet you go out.
- 25:55Speaker 6: And you win your last two, you perform to a
- 25:58Speaker 6: level that you were really performing at even as recently
- 26:01Speaker 6: as Cleveland and Cincinnati. Let's not forget they were within
- 26:06Speaker 6: a touchdown at the end of ty in Cleveland. That
- 26:08Speaker 6: might be one of the best three or four teams
- 26:09Speaker 6: in the league right now. Baltimore is really good. You know,
- 26:13Speaker 6: these teams that you were just barely losing to, you
- 26:20Speaker 6: can compete with those teams if you play at the
- 26:23Speaker 6: level that you were competing, and you can have this
- 26:27Speaker 6: season be remembered as one of back to back division
- 26:32Speaker 6: titles seasons. If you come out and you play your game,
- 26:36Speaker 6: there shouldn't be any reason for lack of motivation this week.
- 26:38Speaker 6: This is still a chance to make history and be
- 26:40Speaker 6: a part of something special.
- 26:41Speaker 3: And you know who would have an idea of that
- 26:44Speaker 3: more than most of this team is Cam Robinson. So
- 26:46Speaker 3: it was back going to probably apparently be back this week.
- 26:50Speaker 3: He talked in the locker room today like he was
- 26:51Speaker 3: going to be back, and that's a good sign. So
- 26:54Speaker 3: he's been at this season, one of the most tenured
- 26:56Speaker 3: players on this roster and has been with the Jaguars
- 26:59Speaker 3: for the duration of it. And he's been on two
- 27:02Speaker 3: different playoff teams with the Jaguars, one is rookie in
- 27:06Speaker 3: twenty seventeen and then of course last year. So he's
- 27:09Speaker 3: seen a lot of lows, he's seen a lot of highs,
- 27:11Speaker 3: and I think his attitude and what he kind of
- 27:14Speaker 3: brings to the table. Can he do it all by himself, No,
- 27:17Speaker 3: but maybe he can set the tone a different way
- 27:20Speaker 3: up front John.
- 27:20Speaker 7: And Yeah, having a guy like him back matters.
- 27:26Speaker 6: They're just a better running team with him in the game.
- 27:28Speaker 6: I mean, it's five straight games under hundred yards where
- 27:32Speaker 6: it feels like there's just just nothing there. It's hard
- 27:38Speaker 6: to imagine Cam just sort of accepting that that's not
- 27:42Speaker 6: really his mo. So maybe that does give him something, Bucky.
- 27:46Speaker 6: I mean, I was asked today who they miss more,
- 27:49Speaker 6: Christian Kirk or Cam Robinson. I would sort of side
- 27:52Speaker 6: with Christian, but that does mean you can't miss him both.
- 27:56Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they do miss him both.
- 27:57Speaker 5: I will say, like, having been on the field and
- 28:00Speaker 5: watch an interaction, Cam is probably the most feisty of
- 28:05Speaker 5: them all.
- 28:07Speaker 4: He's feisty and still can play.
- 28:08Speaker 5: I mean, Brenda Sheriff is scrappy, but it's a different
- 28:11Speaker 5: feistiness and confidence that comes when Cam is on the field,
- 28:16Speaker 5: and you know, putting Cam at his natural position at
- 28:19Speaker 5: left tackle and being able to reset the offensive line
- 28:21Speaker 5: where maybe we'll see the five that we expected to
- 28:24Speaker 5: start start that look, that'll do wonders for it because
- 28:28Speaker 5: if the offensive line can just play with a.
- 28:31Speaker 4: Little chemistry and cohesion, if.
- 28:33Speaker 5: They can just kind of win their battles, it makes
- 28:35Speaker 5: it easier for everybody else to win the battles. But
- 28:38Speaker 5: too often this season it's been a lot of leakage
- 28:41Speaker 5: at the point of attack in the run game and
- 28:43Speaker 5: in the passing game, and that's really prevented everybody else
- 28:46Speaker 5: from being able to be at their best.
- 28:47Speaker 3: Remember early in the season, Cam Robinson was suspended for
- 28:50Speaker 3: four games. We're like, oh, you know, he may not.
- 28:52Speaker 3: Is he gonna move into left guard? What's gonna happen?
- 28:55Speaker 3: And when he comes back, and there's all these questions.
- 28:58Speaker 3: Well then he came back. It was like Oh, that's why.
- 29:01Speaker 3: That's why he's the left tack.
- 29:02Speaker 6: When guys start for a long time at premium positions
- 29:06Speaker 6: and there's seven year veterans even though the people last
- 29:10Speaker 6: off season, right, well, would you not start as he chachs, Well,
- 29:15Speaker 6: maybe they just don't start Cam when he comes back,
- 29:17Speaker 6: they're gonna move on anyway. Be careful taking really good
- 29:25Speaker 6: players for granted. And he's a really good player.
- 29:30Speaker 5: That is that is a that is a wise observation
- 29:33Speaker 5: every once in a while, like like no, because I
- 29:36Speaker 5: think there is maybe a little lack of appreciation for
- 29:38Speaker 5: what Cam brings. You're right, you don't start in this
- 29:41Speaker 5: league for six seven years at a premium position without
- 29:43Speaker 5: being a really good player. He is a really good player,
- 29:46Speaker 5: which is why they're willing to pay him what they
- 29:47Speaker 5: paid him in the past.
- 29:49Speaker 4: And when he.
- 29:50Speaker 5: Comes back, we should see a notable difference in the
- 29:53Speaker 5: way this unit performs. And it matters because the toughness,
- 29:57Speaker 5: the swagger, all of that.
- 29:58Speaker 4: Stuff he brings, it's lacking.
- 30:01Speaker 5: It's lacking up front watching how he is the natural
- 30:04Speaker 5: leader of the group.
- 30:05Speaker 4: Yeah, his absence has been filled.
- 30:08Speaker 3: Yeah, and guess what the quarterback's banged up for now
- 30:11Speaker 3: a fourth time this season, and maybe the millions of
- 30:14Speaker 3: dollars at the left tackle position are well worth it
- 30:18Speaker 3: to keep that guy clean as well. It's a lot
- 30:20Speaker 3: going on. We're back in a moment. We'll take a
- 30:22Speaker 3: look at the AFC playoff race. Pro Bowl voting is
- 30:26Speaker 3: now shut down. December twenty fifth was the last day.
- 30:29Speaker 3: If he didn't get it in too late. Santa Claus
- 30:32Speaker 3: is coming gone, so is your chance to vote. So
- 30:35Speaker 3: we'll see if the Jaguars get some guys in there.
- 30:37Speaker 3: The Pro Bowl games back in Orlando this year. Go
- 30:42Speaker 3: to Jaguars dot com slash Pro Bowl for the latest.
- 30:44Speaker 3: And this is huddle up with Bucky Brooks.
- 30:52Speaker 9: The one thing that I know being around this league, Look,
- 30:57Speaker 9: everybody wants to point the finger somewhere and and you know,
- 31:01Speaker 9: we've got to do a.
- 31:02Speaker 4: Better job at taking care of the football.
- 31:04Speaker 2: It's not about the plays, it's not about all that.
- 31:07Speaker 9: You know, We've got to tackle better and we got
- 31:08Speaker 9: to take care of the football. Bottom line, we do
- 31:10Speaker 9: those two things, those give us a chance to win
- 31:13Speaker 9: football games. If we don't, then then we're gonna be
- 31:16Speaker 9: sitting here, you know, talking about this again. So to me,
- 31:20Speaker 9: That's that's the glaring, the glaring differences right now between
- 31:25Speaker 9: between winning losing.
- 31:27Speaker 2: That is the.
- 31:28Speaker 3: Head coach Doug Peterson asked about maybe they shake some
- 31:32Speaker 3: things up the last couple of weeks, including taking some
- 31:34Speaker 3: play calling back, and he had a little pause and
- 31:37Speaker 3: then got into that answer yesterday. And this is out
- 31:39Speaker 3: of love with Bucky Brooks, brought to you by Field's
- 31:41Speaker 3: Auto Group Jacksonville step up to Luxury Fieldsauto dot Com
- 31:45Speaker 3: and John that's about as clear as you'll hear. The
- 31:48Speaker 3: coach kind of lay it out there. It's execution on
- 31:52Speaker 3: the field, not necessarily what's going on upstairs.
- 31:54Speaker 6: And I get that everybody wants to talk about play calling,
- 31:57Speaker 6: and it's uh, it's always the easy target. I still
- 32:00Speaker 6: maintain I don't know that there's that much of a
- 32:03Speaker 6: difference between this year and last year. This was not
- 32:06Speaker 6: the most consistent offensive team last year. I always go
- 32:10Speaker 6: back to they scored one touchdown the biggest game of
- 32:12Speaker 6: the year. Offensively, I mean, it's it's hasn't improved, but
- 32:18Speaker 6: I see more the lack of a running game, as
- 32:26Speaker 6: Bucky alluded to early. When you can't run it dwarfs
- 32:30Speaker 6: what you can do in the passing game and then
- 32:33Speaker 6: your turn the ball over and you're not making tackles.
- 32:37Speaker 6: I we said it for a month, stop giving stuff
- 32:41Speaker 6: away and see if you can win the game doing
- 32:43Speaker 6: that way. And I maybe Bucky feels differently about that,
- 32:47Speaker 6: but I think that's what it is.
- 32:49Speaker 2: If we've lost. But oh, yeah, so I don't know
- 32:56Speaker 2: if you heard all that.
- 32:57Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, no, I heard. I heard John's taking it
- 33:00Speaker 5: and he's right. It's so funny because I feel like
- 33:02Speaker 5: we've been talking about the same issues like all year,
- 33:04Speaker 5: about just hey, let's just avoid like the silly stuff.
- 33:08Speaker 5: If you can handle the things that you can control making,
- 33:10Speaker 5: let's just see if the other team can beat you.
- 33:12Speaker 4: And we still haven't been able to get that.
- 33:14Speaker 5: Despite Doug talking about it, the players talking about it
- 33:17Speaker 5: over and over and over again. But in theory, if
- 33:20Speaker 5: we're able to do that, if we just line up
- 33:23Speaker 5: play make sure at the end of the play, whoever
- 33:25Speaker 5: has the ball hands the ball to the ref it
- 33:28Speaker 5: doesn't go to the other team, that is success. And
- 33:32Speaker 5: you know, I can't really figure out because we had
- 33:34Speaker 5: high hopes for this offense, but look, the offense is
- 33:37Speaker 5: what the offense is. And some of the problems are
- 33:39Speaker 5: due to the offensive line, something is due to the
- 33:41Speaker 5: ever changing cast the playmakers on the perimeter. Regardless of
- 33:44Speaker 5: what it is, whoever touches the ball has to make
- 33:47Speaker 5: sure that they don't.
- 33:50Speaker 7: Oh, we lost Bucky.
- 33:53Speaker 3: Hey, let's get into the AFC playoff race. It is
- 33:56Speaker 3: as tight as can be right here. The Baltimore raven
- 34:00Speaker 3: at number one, twelve and three, Miami eleven and four,
- 34:02Speaker 3: the number two seed, both have clinched a playoff Berth
- 34:05Speaker 3: Kansas City at three at nine and six, the Jaguars
- 34:08Speaker 3: still at four at eight and seven, and then the
- 34:11Speaker 3: wild card teams, the Browns at ten and five, the
- 34:13Speaker 3: Bills nine and six, the Colts at eight and seven,
- 34:17Speaker 3: and there are a bunch of other teams at eight
- 34:19Speaker 3: and seven, Houston, Pittsburgh since the old eight and seven,
- 34:22Speaker 3: Vegas and Denver on the outside looking in. But there's
- 34:24Speaker 3: seven and eight and Denver's changing the quarterback, so we'll
- 34:27Speaker 3: see what happens there.
- 34:28Speaker 2: But you know, this could go.
- 34:31Speaker 3: The best case scenario, and we've talked about it, Jags win,
- 34:34Speaker 3: both the Texans and Colts lose this week. Jaguars win
- 34:38Speaker 3: the division, they are in the playoffs.
- 34:39Speaker 2: It's done. And it's irrelevant what happens really in week eighteen.
- 34:44Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 34:44Speaker 2: Well, in the other is that you missed the playoffs
- 34:47Speaker 2: all together.
- 34:48Speaker 6: Yeah, which which easily could happen if you lose out.
- 34:51Speaker 7: So the scenario for.
- 34:55Speaker 6: The Jaguars, and I've ridden it a lot too, they
- 34:57Speaker 6: can clinch on Sunday is Look, we played poorly, we
- 35:04Speaker 6: can still win the division if we win two games
- 35:08Speaker 6: against two teams right now that both have ten or
- 35:11Speaker 6: more losses. Go win the games that you clearly feel
- 35:15Speaker 6: like you ought to win. And that's not saying anything
- 35:17Speaker 6: bad about those teams. But you know, if you were
- 35:21Speaker 6: looking at the Seahawks right now, for example, the team
- 35:25Speaker 6: that we don't cover, and they were eight and seven
- 35:28Speaker 6: with games against a two and thirteen team and a
- 35:30Speaker 6: five and ten team, take the names off, you would
- 35:34Speaker 6: say that team ought to go do it.
- 35:37Speaker 7: They're in great shape.
- 35:38Speaker 6: Take advantage of what you earned earlier in the season.
- 35:42Speaker 7: You earned being here.
- 35:43Speaker 6: You've played bad, but a lot of teams have played
- 35:45Speaker 6: bad this year. You know, there's been a lot of
- 35:47Speaker 6: three and four game losing streaks. Make this the end
- 35:50Speaker 6: of yours and go do what you ought to do.
- 35:53Speaker 6: Go do what you're paid to do. Go do what
- 35:55Speaker 6: you're capable of doing, and not worry about the scenarios
- 35:59Speaker 6: so much. You may not clinch. I doubt they clinch
- 36:01Speaker 6: on Sunday. I think one of those two teams will win.
- 36:03Speaker 6: Convince yourself you get two more games to play, and
- 36:06Speaker 6: go play the way you're capable of playing. Get back
- 36:09Speaker 6: to it and play with urgency. I know Doug talked
- 36:13Speaker 6: about it Sunday, didn't talk as much Tuesday. But play
- 36:18Speaker 6: like a team that has something at stake, because you do,
- 36:22Speaker 6: darn it.
- 36:23Speaker 2: Yeah, pound the table right. It's true.
- 36:27Speaker 3: Titans at the Texans, by the way, and the Raiders
- 36:30Speaker 3: are at the Colts. Both those games also at one o'clock,
- 36:33Speaker 3: so there'll be some scoreboard watching to be done on
- 36:36Speaker 3: the scoreboard updates during the game.
- 36:38Speaker 5: A lot happening, Yeah, a lot going on. This is
- 36:42Speaker 5: one where you just need to kind of lock in.
- 36:43Speaker 5: You can't worry about all the other stuff. The best
- 36:46Speaker 5: case scenario is you just got to focus on winning
- 36:48Speaker 5: this game. You win this game, it gives you a
- 36:49Speaker 5: chance to get to the last week of the.
- 36:51Speaker 4: Season needing to win.
- 36:54Speaker 5: I mean, you can do it, but you just never
- 36:56Speaker 5: know how it's gonna play out. So if you take
- 36:58Speaker 5: care of business with the Carolina Panthers, right, it may
- 37:00Speaker 5: be done.
- 37:01Speaker 4: It may be done. So it may be I had
- 37:03Speaker 4: a T shirt and night and everything as well.
- 37:05Speaker 5: Then all the stuff that we've talked about for the
- 37:07Speaker 5: last month kind of disappears temporarily as you celebrate something
- 37:11Speaker 5: that hasn't happened in Jacksonville a long time.
- 37:13Speaker 4: You talked about back to back division titles.
- 37:15Speaker 5: So it's still a great opportunity for the Jags to
- 37:19Speaker 5: still accomplish all the things.
- 37:20Speaker 4: That they have in front of them.
- 37:22Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 37:22Speaker 6: I guess it's somebody JP who's been around this a
- 37:25Speaker 6: lot of years, and you have too. As bad as
- 37:30Speaker 6: it's been, we've seen so much worse.
- 37:34Speaker 2: In correct.
- 37:36Speaker 6: That's just to say you are still in first place,
- 37:40Speaker 6: and first place in December around here has been an elusive.
- 37:47Speaker 7: Target, if you will.
- 37:48Speaker 6: So hopefully they can sort of set the bad taste
- 37:52Speaker 6: in their mouth aside, realize that and realize that as
- 37:58Speaker 6: earline sho've I've been hitting it all week. Not much
- 38:00Speaker 6: more to say except the fact that you've you've got
- 38:03Speaker 6: a chance to play for history and to get into
- 38:05Speaker 6: the playoffs and maybe you feel bad about the last month,
- 38:08Speaker 6: but you can reset your narrative and they're capable of
- 38:11Speaker 6: doing it. It's not like you're playing the Ravens and
- 38:13Speaker 6: the forty nine ers these last two weeks. These are
- 38:17Speaker 6: games that you ought to be able to go win.
- 38:19Speaker 3: Go win them, Go with them, Bucky, have a great week.
- 38:23Speaker 3: That'll do it for our program today, and we'll talk
- 38:25Speaker 3: to you on Sunday here.
- 38:27Speaker 2: At the Bank.
- 38:29Speaker 4: It should be a lot of fun, I think.
- 38:31Speaker 2: So that's Bucky Brooks, that's John O's all right.
- 38:33Speaker 4: JP.

- 38:38Speaker 2: entire crew for.
