1:11
Speaker 3: out in Los Angeles and it is Wednesday. Bucky, you're
1:15
Speaker 3: with us again, and here we are. The Jags are
1:17
Speaker 3: two and one after a win over the Houston Texans.
1:20
Speaker 3: It's good to be a winning team right now.
1:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, good to be a winning team.
1:25
Speaker 4: Great after about the Jaguars to get that dub and
1:28
Speaker 4: you know, it wasn't necessarily pretty at all times, particularly
1:31
Speaker 4: on offense, but defensively they stood up.
1:34
Speaker 2: And when you think.
1:35
Speaker 4: About the Jaguars and what they could be, there's a
1:36
Speaker 4: reasonable argument that you can make they should be undefeated.
1:39
Speaker 2: Three and zero going to the West Coast to.
1:41
Speaker 4: Take a team that should be what is considered a
1:45
Speaker 4: measuring stick game, a game to kind of see where
1:47
Speaker 4: we are, how we stack up against some of the
1:49
Speaker 4: teams that others would regard as the elites in the league.
1:53
Speaker 5: Yeah, they could be three and oh they played two
1:56
Speaker 5: tight games. And I said, it is two and one
2:01
Speaker 5: and could be three and zero, And I'm with Bucky
2:04
Speaker 5: to me and JPU, we've talked about it. I think
2:09
Speaker 5: the fight they've shown in the first three games the
2:12
Speaker 5: way they won that Texans game really important, really impressive.
2:17
Speaker 5: And I heard from people around here for a month,
2:22
Speaker 5: two months, three months leading into the season that they
2:24
Speaker 5: were going to be a team that fought, that played tough,
2:27
Speaker 5: that was in games, that was going to be well coached,
2:30
Speaker 5: it was going to give themselves a chance in most games.
2:33
Speaker 6: And that's what we've seen.
2:34
Speaker 5: And I think that's what you've got to be in
2:37
Speaker 5: the first year of a new regime, and then you
2:39
Speaker 5: can build later on and start being a dominant team
2:42
Speaker 5: as you grow.
2:44
Speaker 6: Get better, get used to it. But this is how you.
2:46
Speaker 5: Start climbing out of four and thirteen toward where they
2:50
Speaker 5: want to be. I don't think you get too great
2:54
Speaker 5: without grinding through some of these. And I'm impressed.
2:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely wanting to get to of course, on the
3:01
Speaker 3: offensive side here, a lot to work on on that
3:03
Speaker 3: side of the ball, but the defense really leading the
3:05
Speaker 3: way and keeping this team of floating games at least
3:10
Speaker 3: a couple of those games, certainly this past week. You know,
3:13
Speaker 3: the nine takeaways, three of them this past week against
3:16
Speaker 3: the Texans, and there's pressure from the edge rushers.
3:20
Speaker 2: It's funny.
3:20
Speaker 3: We were in the locker room today and as Josh
3:23
Speaker 3: heinz Allen. You know, you guys are getting pressures. One
3:26
Speaker 3: of the best pressure duos in the league, you and
3:28
Speaker 3: tray Von. But what's the next step for you? He's like, what,
3:31
Speaker 3: why don't you just ask me how do we get
3:33
Speaker 3: more sacks?
3:34
Speaker 5: JP wants more sacks, BUCkies. He's not happy with the pressure,
3:37
Speaker 5: but he has a high standard.
3:39
Speaker 3: The pressures are there, that's the next step, right, is
3:42
Speaker 3: getting home on the quarterback bore.
3:44
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, but that's really a collective effort. It's
3:47
Speaker 4: not just them. Is being able to have tighter covers
3:50
Speaker 4: down the field to buy the extra beat him a
3:53
Speaker 4: second to allow them to get home. It all works together,
3:57
Speaker 4: and surprisingly because you would think at as much zone
4:01
Speaker 4: as we're playing that the ball would come out quicker
4:04
Speaker 4: and that teams would be able to slow down the
4:07
Speaker 4: pass rush by really throwing quicks and bubbles and screens
4:10
Speaker 4: and those things. The Jacks have been really good tackling
4:12
Speaker 4: on the perimeter, so they've negated that strategy, and when
4:15
Speaker 4: they've had to jump into some tighter coverage, some match coverage,
4:19
Speaker 4: some Manda man, they've really been snug and that and
4:22
Speaker 4: that has given them the opportunity to get more sacks,
4:24
Speaker 4: more pressures, even though the stat line doesn't always reflect.
4:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think one of the hidden things in
4:31
Speaker 5: this defense is how well they're tackling. It feels like
4:35
Speaker 5: that is enabling them to be in better down in
4:39
Speaker 5: distance situations, that has enabled them to have more pressure.
4:44
Speaker 5: But you know, I agree with Bucky and I sort
4:49
Speaker 5: of agree with Josh. Not to go against you, j
4:51
Speaker 5: but the pressure that Trayvon, Josh Heinz on these guys
4:56
Speaker 5: are putting on pressure is sustain able, and uh, sacks
5:02
Speaker 5: aren't always sustainable, so the pressure is really important. And
5:08
Speaker 5: uh you know so, yeah, I am signed with Josh
5:11
Speaker 5: on this, but I am I am team Josh on
5:14
Speaker 5: this one, not team JB.
5:15
Speaker 3: You always reference one of the past rushers in Indianapolis
5:18
Speaker 3: who said his best pass rushing season was when he
5:21
Speaker 3: had like two sacks.
5:21
Speaker 5: Who was Yeah, that was Franny and uh, you know it.
5:26
Speaker 5: His point was, it's very circumstances. You can control pressures
5:30
Speaker 5: as a defensive end, uh two degree. I mean, sometimes
5:34
Speaker 5: teams get the ball out or they or they roll
5:37
Speaker 5: away from you can't always control it. But I smooth
5:39
Speaker 5: right before the podcast last week, I asked him the
5:42
Speaker 5: same question. I said, am I reading this wrong? And
5:44
Speaker 5: he said, no, Sacks usually happen when you get multiple
5:51
Speaker 5: guys rushing well in the same play and then one
5:54
Speaker 5: of you will get a sack. Sometimes you're gonna get
5:57
Speaker 5: a guy where you just beat a guy off the edge.
5:59
Speaker 6: And sack them.
6:00
Speaker 5: But those, if a great pass rusher gets four or
6:04
Speaker 5: five those a year, it's a lot. It's it's usually
6:09
Speaker 5: three or four guys rushing well. Guy gets flushed toward
6:13
Speaker 5: one of the guys rushing well, and then he gets
6:15
Speaker 5: the sack. That's how a lot of sacks come. And
6:18
Speaker 5: that's why they always talk. Josh Allen for five or
6:20
Speaker 5: six years has talked about rushing is a unit and
6:24
Speaker 5: Russian cover and that's if you're playing well within that,
6:29
Speaker 5: your percentage are going to go up and you're gonna
6:31
Speaker 5: be a sack guy within that concept.
6:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, it all works together, Josh Allens Allen, it sounds
6:38
Speaker 4: like is relating to John the way that the coverage
6:42
Speaker 4: and the front work together to get sacks.
6:44
Speaker 2: If the coverage is.
6:45
Speaker 4: Good on the back end, then it allows the front
6:48
Speaker 4: end to be able to get after and vice versa.
6:50
Speaker 2: If the rush is great. Then it allows the back
6:52
Speaker 2: end to begin to.
6:53
Speaker 4: Get turnovers and takeaways off tips to flections and passes
6:57
Speaker 4: because the quarterback is under the rest. The one thing
7:00
Speaker 4: that I believe is underrated and hasn't been talked about
7:03
Speaker 4: enough is the reason why Josh einz Allen and Trayvon
7:06
Speaker 4: walk had been more effective is because there's a legitimate
7:08
Speaker 4: pass rush presence on the inside. Eric Arms did making
7:13
Speaker 4: disruptive plays on the inside has created more one on
7:16
Speaker 4: one opportunities for those guys on the outside and the up.
7:20
Speaker 2: The middle push.
7:21
Speaker 4: The push in the middle of the pocket forces the
7:24
Speaker 4: quarterbacks to flee to one of those guys and I
7:27
Speaker 4: guess kind of run into their waiting.
7:29
Speaker 2: Arms, as they would say, if you're a romantic JP I.
7:32
Speaker 3: Am, Eric Arms said today, of course, said in the
7:36
Speaker 3: locker room, and he's not really thinking a whole lot
7:39
Speaker 3: about the good return to San Francisco. There's some some
7:42
Speaker 3: feelings there, but hey, he's playing football, he's been around
7:45
Speaker 3: it for a long time. You know what helps a
7:47
Speaker 3: pass rush having a lead late in games. The offense
7:51
Speaker 3: has to do some of their part as well, and
7:53
Speaker 3: it has been a struggle some this season. Of course,
7:56
Speaker 3: last week, you know, couldn't get my done. Offensively, they
8:01
Speaker 3: were having trouble catching the football. They missed a couple
8:03
Speaker 3: of deep shots down the field from the quarterback. And
8:06
Speaker 3: so far this year, Trevor Lawrence is twenty ninth of
8:10
Speaker 3: unqualified quarterbacks and passer rating seventy point three, and in
8:14
Speaker 3: the second half of game's bucky it's even worse fifty
8:17
Speaker 3: six rating. So far when it really should matter, you
8:20
Speaker 3: got to make big plays in big moments late. How
8:23
Speaker 3: does the quarterback Trevor Lawrence get on track here offensively?
8:29
Speaker 2: I think it's a few different things.
8:30
Speaker 4: One, his stadline is reflective not only of his work,
8:32
Speaker 4: but the performance of those around him. And the wide
8:35
Speaker 4: receivers are not being good. They weren't good last Sunday.
8:38
Speaker 4: Too many drop passes, too many miscommunications where people on
8:43
Speaker 4: in the right spot. Trevor's missed his fair share of throws,
8:46
Speaker 4: but all of that doesn't fall on him. I would
8:49
Speaker 4: say the way that Trevor can improve upon dead is
8:51
Speaker 4: he and the wide receivers got to spend extra time
8:54
Speaker 4: to make sure that everything is on the same everyone
8:56
Speaker 4: is on the same page, everyone knows exactly what they're doing,
8:59
Speaker 4: and when you get your opportunity to have the ball
9:01
Speaker 4: hit in your direction, you have to catch it.
9:03
Speaker 2: I mean Trevor can do a lot of things.
9:05
Speaker 4: He can't walk it to him and put him in
9:07
Speaker 4: the brad basket and tell them okay, now you take
9:10
Speaker 4: it and go run with it. These guys have to
9:12
Speaker 4: catch the football, and it's one of the more disappointing
9:14
Speaker 4: things that we've seen. Our guys have not consistently caught
9:17
Speaker 4: the ball. So Lim Cohen has to make a choice.
9:19
Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence has to make a choice. If you're throwing
9:22
Speaker 4: the ball the guys and they're dropping it, then the
9:24
Speaker 4: ball has to go to your most sure handed players,
9:26
Speaker 4: and right now, that's bread and Strange, and that's Travis Hunter.
9:30
Speaker 4: I would expect them to get more touches because they're
9:33
Speaker 4: the ones who had been the most consistent when it
9:36
Speaker 4: comes to the catcher sentage.
9:38
Speaker 6: Yeah, Bucky, they've.
9:41
Speaker 5: Just shown about four or five of the drops on
9:43
Speaker 5: this and I got I got questions all the time.
9:47
Speaker 6: You know, is Trevor throwing the ball too hard?
9:50
Speaker 5: I'm not going to say he's never in his career
9:54
Speaker 5: had issues where he could have shown more touch, right,
9:58
Speaker 5: But JP you're watching these long me there's not a
10:01
Speaker 5: single pass net.
10:01
Speaker 6: It's too hard. And if it is, I mean, and.
10:05
Speaker 5: I don't think anymore football, right, Parker Washington and Brian
10:08
Speaker 5: Thomas Junior, the guys who were showing the drops, I
10:12
Speaker 5: don't pretend to know them. You know that well, but
10:16
Speaker 5: I know I'm well enough to know they're not going
10:18
Speaker 5: to blame Trevor.
10:19
Speaker 6: For those drops.
10:21
Speaker 5: Look, Trevor is not one of the best four or
10:26
Speaker 5: five quarterbacks in the league right now, but he's also
10:29
Speaker 5: not number twenty nine. Reflective of that. And if you
10:36
Speaker 5: the drops the other day were weird, like it was
10:40
Speaker 5: almost like it got in the water. Yeah, he he
10:45
Speaker 5: is not. Like whatever stat you want to use against him,
10:49
Speaker 5: his quarterback rating this year is not reflective of how
10:52
Speaker 5: he's playing it. And I would say it's far more reflective,
10:56
Speaker 5: as Bucky said, far more of a result of.
11:00
Speaker 6: The drop passes.
11:00
Speaker 5: I mean, Jammy Brown drops one against Cincinnati long pass
11:05
Speaker 5: down the sidelines. It was a tough catch, but BTJ
11:07
Speaker 5: has to make it.
11:08
Speaker 6: The other day.
11:11
Speaker 5: Let's see what the rating is if you factored all
11:13
Speaker 5: those into catches, not twenty nine years.
11:16
Speaker 3: And it's not a pressure issue. Either the offensive line
11:19
Speaker 3: is actually, for the most part, Bucky kept him up
11:21
Speaker 3: right this year.
11:23
Speaker 4: Yeah, their offensive line has been look more effective than
11:27
Speaker 4: I think anybody would imagine based on the questions and
11:30
Speaker 4: concerns that we had going into the year. So they've
11:32
Speaker 4: done their job up front. He hasn't taken an extraord
11:35
Speaker 4: amount of hits in those things. We can talk about
11:37
Speaker 4: the wide receivers and their drops in those things. I
11:40
Speaker 4: would say the one piece where Trevor has to get
11:42
Speaker 4: better is decision making in crucial moments, meaning in the
11:46
Speaker 4: red zone.
11:46
Speaker 2: Can't put the ball in harm's way.
11:49
Speaker 4: We have some mistakes that have really hurt us because
11:51
Speaker 4: you turned the ball over in those times. He also
11:54
Speaker 4: has to resist the urge to try and fit the
11:57
Speaker 4: ball into tight windows when it's not necessary. Meaning understand
12:01
Speaker 4: time score situation. There's a time and a place when
12:03
Speaker 4: you have to try and squeeze the ball in the
12:05
Speaker 4: tight windows because it's a guy to have it down.
12:07
Speaker 4: But on some of these downs, if the window is tight,
12:09
Speaker 4: that means someone else is open and you got to
12:11
Speaker 4: get to them in their progression. So it's a little
12:14
Speaker 4: bit of Trevor Lawrence. There's a little bit of pieces
12:16
Speaker 4: around them. They just haven't got together. But you're still
12:19
Speaker 4: hopefully and optimistic that this group is too talented to
12:22
Speaker 4: continue to struggle like they've been struggling. You just hope
12:26
Speaker 4: that we can fix it and fix it soon.
12:27
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's three or four game.
12:29
Speaker 5: I mean, I just kind of spent them my last minute.
12:34
Speaker 5: I guess defending Trevor how you went to phrase that,
12:36
Speaker 5: But there's three or four game where you're like, what
12:38
Speaker 5: in the world is going on? But I've been in
12:44
Speaker 5: the last couple of weeks the drops have been more
12:47
Speaker 5: of the storyline. They have been to the point where
12:49
Speaker 5: last week, oh sure, Yeah, at one point I dropped
12:51
Speaker 5: my pan and I said, what is going like?
12:53
Speaker 6: This is weird?
12:55
Speaker 5: But I will say this through three games, Bucky, and
12:59
Speaker 5: I'm gonna get you thought on this. I'm more optimistic
13:03
Speaker 5: that what they're doing on offense, They've gotten guys open
13:09
Speaker 5: every week. There have been more than you know, this
13:14
Speaker 5: offense is functioning. The play calling or the whatever, the
13:19
Speaker 5: opportunities are there, and I'm more convinced after Sunday that
13:25
Speaker 5: this is going to be a good running team all season.
13:27
Speaker 5: They had the deal where JP asked me about it.
13:30
Speaker 5: You weren't there, Bucky, But JP asked me about it
13:33
Speaker 5: before the pregame, as it's going to be interesting today
13:36
Speaker 5: to see what happens to the Jaguars when the Texans
13:39
Speaker 5: stopped the run, because usually at some point in the
13:41
Speaker 5: first three or three games, if a team wants to
13:44
Speaker 5: stop you running, they will figure out a way to
13:46
Speaker 5: do it. They can scheme that. And I thought in
13:49
Speaker 5: the second half, when Liam figured out a way to
13:52
Speaker 5: get that running game going, that showed me that throughout
13:57
Speaker 5: the course of the season over seventeen games, I don't
14:00
Speaker 5: think they're going to have very many when you look
14:02
Speaker 5: at the status sheet and it's twenty two yards and
14:05
Speaker 5: they just couldn't do anything. I believe more in this
14:08
Speaker 5: running game after Sunday than I did the first two weeks.
14:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think the running game the test
14:14
Speaker 4: that the Texans presented not only the physicality, speed, toughness,
14:18
Speaker 4: their commitment to defending the run. It really tested the
14:22
Speaker 4: patients and the discipline of Liam Cohen. And what we
14:24
Speaker 4: saw was someone who figured it.
14:26
Speaker 2: Out at halftime.
14:27
Speaker 4: And what are the things that you're always evaluating on
14:30
Speaker 4: the head coach and the offensive and defensive coaches.
14:33
Speaker 2: How quickly. Can they adapt and adjusts.
14:35
Speaker 4: What are the changes that they have already in the
14:38
Speaker 4: hoster in anticipating how a defense may defend them.
14:41
Speaker 2: What are they going to go to? What's next on
14:43
Speaker 2: the plan?
14:44
Speaker 4: And Liam has done a really good job of kind
14:45
Speaker 4: of finding the answers, and he talked about it. Hey,
14:49
Speaker 4: it took us a little while, but at halftime we
14:51
Speaker 4: kind of figured it out. We have some answers and
14:53
Speaker 4: solutions that were able to get the running game untracked
14:55
Speaker 4: in the second half. And as long as that running
14:57
Speaker 4: game is a steady eddie press for this team, the
15:01
Speaker 4: big players is gonna.
15:02
Speaker 2: Be there in the passing game.
15:03
Speaker 4: It's just a matter of making sure all aspects of
15:06
Speaker 4: the offense are operating at a high level, particularly down
15:09
Speaker 4: the stretch, because that's when your team has a chance
15:12
Speaker 4: to really make a run. They can go from good
15:14
Speaker 4: to great and they can kind of shape themselves into
15:17
Speaker 4: being a legitimate contender because you have all of the
15:19
Speaker 4: pieces of the offense working together.
15:21
Speaker 5: Saric JP, we talked a couple of weeks ago about
15:24
Speaker 5: Liam and he's as advertised, he can coach offense and
15:28
Speaker 5: he can really coach the running gay. I would be
15:31
Speaker 5: very surprised if this is not. I even know what
15:33
Speaker 5: they're ranked, but I'd be very surprised if this is
15:35
Speaker 5: not an efficient offense that once they start.
15:38
Speaker 6: Catching the ball. I think they're gonna be better in the future, like.
15:43
Speaker 5: In future years, once they get it right and get
15:45
Speaker 5: you know, but I think they this year. I believe
15:49
Speaker 5: this offense is gonna be very productive throughout the course
15:51
Speaker 5: of the season.
15:52
Speaker 3: Look, there's plenty ahead. We'll come back. We'll see if
15:54
Speaker 3: it's productive. This week in San Francisco, we'll check out
15:56
Speaker 3: the San Francisco forty Niners sides of the football. They're
16:01
Speaker 3: three and ozero and they have a slew of injuries.
16:04
Speaker 3: We'll get to all those coming up. Monday Night football
16:07
Speaker 3: is coming to the Bank October sixth. That's a matchup
16:10
Speaker 3: you don't want to miss as the Jaguars entertain the
16:13
Speaker 3: Kansas City Chiefs. The Jags are throwing it back in
16:15
Speaker 3: the Prowler jerseys again. Get your tickets down Jaguars dot
16:19
Speaker 3: Com slash tickets are called nine oh four six three
16:21
Speaker 3: three two thousand. A look at the diners. After this,
16:25
Speaker 3: it's huddle up with Bucky Brooks.
16:41
Speaker 7: And say you're going to get greedy at some point
16:44
Speaker 7: you're going to get bored at some point of kind
16:48
Speaker 7: of playing the twelve to you know, fifteen an in game,
16:52
Speaker 7: right because they do play a ton of quarters lead
16:55
Speaker 7: the NFL. I believe in shell coverage and quarters and
16:59
Speaker 7: cover six quarter quarter half variations. We'll see if that
17:03
Speaker 7: holds true this week for sure, but that's definitely what
17:06
Speaker 7: they've wanted to do through three games, and it just
17:09
Speaker 7: makes you, as a play caller and as a quarterback
17:14
Speaker 7: have to be patient and meticulous and just keep taking
17:18
Speaker 7: what they end up giving you. And then, yeah, we
17:21
Speaker 7: have to take advantage of the ops that we do
17:24
Speaker 7: get down the field that we didn't take advantage of
17:27
Speaker 7: this past week.
17:29
Speaker 2: Head coach Liam Cohen.

Speaker 3: win big JP Shadick with John Osier, Jaguars dot Com
17:54
Speaker 3: senior writer and Jaguars field analysts Bucky Brooks in Law,
18:00
Speaker 3: S Angeles and that conversation there. I think John you
18:03
Speaker 3: asked that question of him the patients down the field.
18:06
Speaker 3: It takes against this forty nine ers defense that you
18:10
Speaker 3: know Robert Salas in charge out there again, we know
18:13
Speaker 3: him well, and they've got some injury issues, certainly on
18:17
Speaker 3: the offensive side, but now it's creeping over to defense
18:20
Speaker 3: as well. Nick Bosa the big loss, of course on
18:22
Speaker 3: the defensive line. You've got some younger players in there
18:25
Speaker 3: that'll roll in and play defense.
18:26
Speaker 2: To see on your screen all.
18:28
Speaker 3: The injuries, maybe not even all of the injuries, but
18:30
Speaker 3: a good bit of the injuries for the forty nine ers,
18:36
Speaker 3: including Rock Perdy who didn't play the last two weeks,
18:39
Speaker 3: and the marsh former Jaguar. There a couple of defensive
18:44
Speaker 3: guys on that list. We'll start with the defense here, Bucky,
18:47
Speaker 3: what stands out the most when you look at the
18:50
Speaker 3: forty nine ers on film defensively.
18:53
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, look, what stands out the most is
18:55
Speaker 4: Nick Boston not being there creates a huge hole for
18:58
Speaker 4: them when it comes to pass rushing. He's a dominant
19:00
Speaker 4: pass rusher. He's a disruptive presence. He is someone who
19:03
Speaker 4: can take over the game and without him it changed
19:06
Speaker 4: the dynamic of the rush. Now they'll figure out a
19:09
Speaker 4: way to get some young athletic players. Mikhel Williams may
19:12
Speaker 4: have an opportunity to play a role. They have some
19:14
Speaker 4: other guys that can play a role, but no one
19:16
Speaker 4: that's just like Nick Bosa. And if you're the Jaguars,
19:19
Speaker 4: it means that you don't necessarily have to direct your
19:21
Speaker 4: protection in.
19:22
Speaker 2: A particular way to double team or chip.
19:24
Speaker 4: A player that should free you have Trevor Lawrence to
19:27
Speaker 4: have more time, more time to attack. But as Liam
19:30
Speaker 4: Going kind of warned everybody, this is a game of patience,
19:34
Speaker 4: and this is a game where the quarterback and everybody
19:37
Speaker 4: has to be patient. It's going to be rare that
19:39
Speaker 4: those big play opportunities are there, and you're going to
19:42
Speaker 4: have to drive the ball to the left of the field,
19:44
Speaker 4: taking dink and dunk plays, and they want to see
19:47
Speaker 4: if you're patient and disciplined enough to do it, because
19:50
Speaker 4: they're betting that you will get bored or distracted and
19:53
Speaker 4: you will trying to fit a ball into a tight
19:55
Speaker 4: window that leads to an interception off her tip or overthrow.
19:58
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's a big game for Trevor for
20:00
Speaker 5: that reason. The Texans clearly, you know, stack the line
20:06
Speaker 5: and dared him to beat them and played a similar
20:11
Speaker 5: way that the Niners will play. The Niners play it
20:14
Speaker 5: at a high level. Trevor does need to answer he's
20:20
Speaker 5: had four or five throws a game that you're like, what, Well,
20:23
Speaker 5: the way the forty nine ers play, they're assuming that
20:26
Speaker 5: if they have a twelve play drive that he'll have
20:29
Speaker 5: one of those plays most series. So I think it's
20:33
Speaker 5: a huge game for Trevor to just eliminate some of
20:36
Speaker 5: those and show that he can be the patient, dink
20:40
Speaker 5: and dunk, be accurate short some of the things that
20:44
Speaker 5: I think he can do but hasn't done at a
20:48
Speaker 5: consistent level yet this year.
20:52
Speaker 6: I don't want to say.
20:53
Speaker 5: It's Trevor's game to win or lose, but I think
20:56
Speaker 5: maybe more than any game yet, how he plays will
20:59
Speaker 5: dick to how they do.
21:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, it will.
21:03
Speaker 4: But I take a lot of confidence from the fact
21:05
Speaker 4: that typically Trevor Lawrence has played well against Gus Bradley's defense.
21:10
Speaker 4: Gus Bradley was in Indianapolis, he had a lot of success
21:14
Speaker 4: because he knew going into the game that it was
21:15
Speaker 4: going to require a lot of patients. He put on
21:18
Speaker 4: his little patient's hat and he dictated the terms taking
21:21
Speaker 4: the dink and dunk. Now that he knows going into
21:24
Speaker 4: this that Robert Sola's defense is a variation of what
21:28
Speaker 4: Gus Bradley does, he also knows going in, hey, this
21:31
Speaker 4: is a week where I really have to take the checkdowns.
21:34
Speaker 4: The more that I take the checkdowns, the more likely
21:36
Speaker 4: I'm eventually going to get something at the intermediate level
21:39
Speaker 4: that I want. But going into it, I would think
21:42
Speaker 4: Travis ccien, the running backs man, they may combined for
21:45
Speaker 4: ten or more receptions because this run everyone off the field,
21:49
Speaker 4: get the back, dump it off, let him get the work.
21:53
Speaker 4: I think Travis Hunter could be in line to have
21:55
Speaker 4: a big game. We seen him run those five yard
21:57
Speaker 4: end routes that are nice for him because he can
22:00
Speaker 4: catch it in knife up the field. To me, all
22:03
Speaker 4: of that is in play, and it literally is about
22:06
Speaker 4: Trevor not only being patients in the twenties, I think
22:09
Speaker 4: where his patience has to pay off. Can't he be
22:11
Speaker 4: patient enough in the red zone to not try and
22:14
Speaker 4: fit the ball in to avoid making the hero throws
22:17
Speaker 4: and allow the offense to work for him. And then
22:20
Speaker 4: the final part of it is the Jaguars have to
22:22
Speaker 4: get sevens in the red zone. They can't consistently settle
22:26
Speaker 4: for threes. I think depending on who the quarterback is
22:29
Speaker 4: on the other side, whether it's Mac Jones a brock pretty,
22:31
Speaker 4: there's a magic number that will exist.
22:33
Speaker 2: Now magic number may.
22:34
Speaker 4: Be twenty twenty one points, so however you have to
22:37
Speaker 4: stack it you get above that because for all the
22:40
Speaker 4: things that the Niners are, I don't know how explosive.
22:42
Speaker 2: They will be on offense.
22:43
Speaker 4: If Mac Jones is a quarterback this week, and that's
22:46
Speaker 4: not being disrespectful to him at all.
22:47
Speaker 5: Yeah, if what you don't want to see in this
22:51
Speaker 5: game is in the first half you look at the
22:54
Speaker 5: stats sheet and you see a bunch of stars next
22:57
Speaker 5: to the drives, because that shows you it's a red
22:59
Speaker 5: zone drive and those drives ending with the forty nine
23:03
Speaker 5: ers happy and you know with a pick and they're
23:07
Speaker 5: going to break and they're showing the Niners in front
23:09
Speaker 5: of that screen. If you see that, then they've given
23:13
Speaker 5: away opportunities. And also, Bucky to me, this is I'm
23:18
Speaker 5: righting about it for later this week. I thought before
23:20
Speaker 5: the season that if this offense was gonna be really,
23:24
Speaker 5: really good, it was gonna have a lot more big
23:27
Speaker 5: plays than last year. It was gonna have and you know,
23:29
Speaker 5: so it feels like they have to be patient, Like
23:33
Speaker 5: I Trevor can't force it. But at some point on Sunday,
23:37
Speaker 5: Travis Hunter's got to break a tackle and go, like,
23:40
Speaker 5: he's got to turn one of those short passes into.
23:43
Speaker 6: A break and make a move and go.
23:46
Speaker 5: You're gonna need some sort of special from BTJ and
23:50
Speaker 5: or Travis because I don't know, like, if I just
23:54
Speaker 5: want to hold them the long drives, the Jaguars have
23:58
Speaker 5: to trump that and have one of their making h
24:01
Speaker 5: one or two of those guys make a big play
24:03
Speaker 5: that goes against that, I think for them to win.
24:06
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is where the scripted winners come in. I
24:09
Speaker 4: would say the X factor in this to me is
24:12
Speaker 4: Liam Coin's experience with the Rams, having seen the Niners
24:16
Speaker 4: a lot, having seen the success that Sean McVay has
24:18
Speaker 4: had against the Niners, understanding that kind of taking some
24:22
Speaker 4: of the mystique that the Niners can have in some
24:24
Speaker 4: stadiums against some of those teams and coaches that shouldn't
24:28
Speaker 4: exist for Liam because he's seen and been a part
24:30
Speaker 4: of teams that have really beaten the Niners, and they
24:32
Speaker 4: understand everything that goes along with beating them in their place.
24:36
Speaker 4: To me, this could be a game that becomes sneaky
24:39
Speaker 4: explosive for the Jaguars because Liam is so confident in
24:42
Speaker 4: his scheme and he's seen Robert Solad's defense so much
24:45
Speaker 4: that they have some things on the menu that are
24:48
Speaker 4: scripted winners that if completed, it really changes.
24:51
Speaker 2: The outlook of the game.
24:52
Speaker 4: Now it's a matter of we got to catch him
24:54
Speaker 4: when they're there, and we've got to make sure the
24:56
Speaker 4: throwers there. But there're gonna be some opportunities where he
24:58
Speaker 4: draws it up where he can be home run plays
25:00
Speaker 4: for the Jaguars.
25:01
Speaker 6: That's why it's his show.
25:02
Speaker 2: Joy.
25:03
Speaker 5: That's exactly why why it's the huddle up with Bucky Brooks.
25:07
Speaker 3: Is analysis back in a moment and we'll figure out
25:11
Speaker 3: Bucky's answer to defend Christian McCaffrey.
25:16
Speaker 2: We'll get that when we come back. If you want

Speaker 3: browse all customizable options, zip chair furniture for fans, it's
25:28
Speaker 3: Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks.
25:39
Speaker 7: We've got to attack the ball more, I think, with
25:42
Speaker 7: our hands instead of letting them maybe get into the
25:44
Speaker 7: body at times. We always talk about not trying to
25:46
Speaker 7: let the ball cross our eyes. So if it's an
25:49
Speaker 7: inbreaker or even an outbreaker, trying not to let it
25:53
Speaker 7: cross you this way at all. There's a difference between
25:57
Speaker 7: the ball being you know, here and going and getting
26:00
Speaker 7: it there. You know, that's just kind of the way it's.
26:04
Speaker 7: You know, that's how we're trying to coach it.
26:06
Speaker 3: Liam Cohen trying to explain how to get the drops
26:10
Speaker 3: out of the system and welcome back to Huddled Up
26:12
Speaker 3: with Bucky Brooks, Jap Shadwick, John Oser.
26:15
Speaker 2: And I guess Bucky Brooks.
26:16

26:48
Speaker 6: For myself and never won. So I mean, as mi amo,
26:51
Speaker 6: that's how it goes.
26:53
Speaker 3: It's okay Jaguars defense this week, facing in the San
26:59
Speaker 3: Francisco forty nine ers. Of course, in the quick first question,
27:02
Speaker 3: Marcus who's playing quarterback brock Perty has not been ruled
27:04
Speaker 3: out yet. Mac Jones was on the injury of port.
27:08
Speaker 3: He had a PCL issue pop up from the summertime
27:11
Speaker 3: last week and limited with that knee issue today party
27:16
Speaker 3: also limited, So we'll see what happens as the week
27:19
Speaker 3: goes along. You know one person who will be out there, though,
27:23
Speaker 3: and it's our defensive coverage at the game presented by
27:25
Speaker 3: GEH Government Employees Health Association benefits for federal employees and retirees,
27:30
Speaker 3: and it's running back Christian McCaffrey. He's all over the
27:34
Speaker 3: field all the time. He leads the league in touches
27:37
Speaker 3: this season so far seventy seven total, fifty two carries,
27:42
Speaker 3: twenty five receptions, and it's the most through three games
27:45
Speaker 3: in his career. Is this sustainable and how do you
27:48
Speaker 3: slow him down?
27:49
Speaker 2: Bucky?
27:50
Speaker 4: I mean, look, he's one of the best running backs
27:53
Speaker 4: that we've seen in NFL history. Let's talk about someone
27:56
Speaker 4: who's in rare clubs one thousand, one thousand, one hundred.
28:01
Speaker 4: When it comes to rushing yards and catches, he's done
28:03
Speaker 4: it all. When it comes to that, he is the
28:05
Speaker 4: guy that drives their offense. And when he is going
28:07
Speaker 4: as a runner or as a receiver, it spells doom
28:11
Speaker 4: for the defense. I think the one thing that you
28:12
Speaker 4: have to understand is where he is at all times.
28:14
Speaker 2: You got to make sure you get multiple bodies to him.
28:17
Speaker 4: You have to be aware of him on these screen
28:19
Speaker 4: down situations, second and long, first of drive, first time
28:24
Speaker 4: you enter the red zone, the screen could come to him.
28:27
Speaker 4: So just being aware of him at all times. This
28:32
Speaker 4: is a game where you got to make somebody.
28:33
Speaker 2: Else beat you.
28:34
Speaker 4: You have to make one of their guys on the perimeter,
28:35
Speaker 4: make somebody else have a big game to beat you.
28:38
Speaker 4: It has to be all odds on twenty two. Let's
28:40
Speaker 4: limit him and limit his opportunities.
28:42
Speaker 5: Yeah, I also think you can't get overwhelmed by them early.
28:46
Speaker 5: Every time I've seen a Shanahan.
28:49
Speaker 6: Team play.
28:49
Speaker 5: This team is only a couple of times. It started
28:53
Speaker 5: feeling like an avalanche fast and maybe it was game circumstance,
28:58
Speaker 5: but you know they're gonna get because he schemes so well,
29:04
Speaker 5: they're gonna have some success at times early.
29:06
Speaker 2: Uh.
29:06
Speaker 5: And Josh Allen, Josh Heines Allen said in the locker
29:10
Speaker 5: room after after JP uh and he went at it talk.
29:18
Speaker 5: It was a little sparring, but uh, but he said,
29:22
Speaker 5: you know, you can't lose confidence when you play them.
29:26
Speaker 5: You can't get what word he use, but basically that
29:30
Speaker 5: you've got to stay calm and realize, Okay, they're doing
29:32
Speaker 5: some stuff with motions with you.
29:35
Speaker 6: Know that we have to adapt to.
29:39
Speaker 5: Let's take a deep breath and adapt to it, and
29:40
Speaker 5: it's okay, we're gonna get this right. So I do
29:43
Speaker 5: think against the Shanahan offense, that's staying poised, which I
29:47
Speaker 5: do believe these guys will, and not getting overwhelmed his key.
29:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's a big part of that.
29:53
Speaker 4: And at their place it can be an overwhelming environment
29:58
Speaker 4: environment and so it's trying to avoid the feeding frenzy
30:02
Speaker 4: that is the Bang Bang Niners game, meaning when they
30:05
Speaker 4: get it going on defense, and they start making plays
30:08
Speaker 4: and that offense get going, and then the crowds get
30:10
Speaker 4: into it. It does have this overwhelming effect, and so
30:13
Speaker 4: we have to avoid the avalanche. That's why it's really
30:16
Speaker 4: important for Trevor Lawrence and the guys on offense take
30:19
Speaker 4: care of the ball, don't give the ball away. Let's
30:21
Speaker 4: avoid the self inflicted mistakes that have kind of hurt
30:25
Speaker 4: us the last few weeks. And then on defense, it's
30:27
Speaker 4: doing what they've really done. The Jaguars done a really
30:29
Speaker 4: good job of taking away the explosive play, forcing the
30:32
Speaker 4: team to drive the lens of the field on ding
30:33
Speaker 4: and dunk plays, and then you have to rally and tackle.
30:36
Speaker 2: It is the same thing.
30:38
Speaker 4: Take away the deep ball, tackle in space, make them
30:40
Speaker 4: kick field goals. If the Jaguars do that, it potentially
30:44
Speaker 4: could be hard for the Niners to put up enough
30:47
Speaker 4: points to knock the Jaguars out of the game.
30:50
Speaker 5: The Niners are three and oh bucky, but they don't
30:53
Speaker 5: feel dominant yet. And I'm not saying they're not good,
30:56
Speaker 5: because I really like this team in organization. I think
30:59
Speaker 5: they're one of the best in the league. But have
31:02
Speaker 5: they got it going or are they Is this a
31:07
Speaker 5: time where the Jazz can get them on that front,
31:09
Speaker 5: because they're not. It doesn't seem like they're running fine
31:14
Speaker 5: tuned the way they often do. I think they will,
31:18
Speaker 5: but it doesn't know what they have yet.
31:20
Speaker 2: Well, look, man, they've been hurt with injuries.
31:22
Speaker 4: A lot of the players that they're counting on to
31:25
Speaker 4: be their difference makers right now on the sideline. You
31:27
Speaker 4: talked about Bowsey, Kittle, Brandon now Yuk hasn't shown up.
31:31
Speaker 4: Brought pretty is a game time decision, so they don't
31:34
Speaker 4: have their squad. I think it speaks to the depth
31:38
Speaker 4: of their roster that they've been able to run out
31:40
Speaker 4: to a throndo start regardless of who they play. This
31:43
Speaker 4: is a team that has a championship pedigree. They have
31:45
Speaker 4: high standards and expectations each and every year, and they
31:48
Speaker 4: play up to that. That said, they're not the boogeyman.
31:52
Speaker 2: You know.
31:52
Speaker 4: You have to go in there. You have to be
31:54
Speaker 4: able to deal with their physicality and toughness. You got
31:56
Speaker 4: to be able to whether the storm that is coming.
32:00
Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, to me, this
32:02
Speaker 4: is about let's get the game in the fourth quarter
32:04
Speaker 4: and slug it out with the team that is always
32:06
Speaker 4: one of the elite teams in the league.
32:07
Speaker 6: Yeah.
32:07
Speaker 5: I think the point Bucky made JP that I hadn't
32:10
Speaker 5: thought about is the fact that Liam's coached against him
32:14
Speaker 5: so often, and the teams in the West do tend
32:18
Speaker 5: to play the Niners sometimes tougher than a lot of teams.
32:21
Speaker 5: I mean, it's true of most inter division stuff. But
32:25
Speaker 5: I think there's something to that. It's gonna be interesting
32:27
Speaker 5: thing to watch on seting.
32:28
Speaker 3: By the way, Ricky Piersaw, their leading receiver right now,
32:32
Speaker 3: is not practicing today with a knee issue. He's on
32:35
Speaker 3: the injury report all of a sudden, and a guy
32:37
Speaker 3: they've relied on a.
32:38
Speaker 2: Lot the season.
32:39
Speaker 3: Former first round pick out of Florida, the third in
32:42
Speaker 3: the league in receiving yards. We'll have to watch that
32:45
Speaker 3: this week to add to the long injury list for
32:48
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers.
32:48
Speaker 2: Bucket.
32:49
Speaker 5: Yeah, they always overcome it. They're always hurt and always
32:51
Speaker 5: overcome it. They're an impressive organization that way, Bucky, Yeah.
32:55
Speaker 2: That is something to that, though.
32:56
Speaker 4: They are always beat up, and I do know they
33:00
Speaker 4: themselves and men the bullies on the block.
33:01
Speaker 2: They're a very physical team. They go about their daily
33:04
Speaker 2: math is in practice.
33:06
Speaker 4: They're a very physical team in terms of practice, and
33:08
Speaker 4: that carries over the games and those things, but they
33:10
Speaker 4: are always forced to play with backups in those things.
33:13
Speaker 4: In Ricky Pirosow's case, he is an outstanding route runner.
33:17
Speaker 2: Loved him when he was coming out. He's the perfect
33:19
Speaker 2: person to feel.
33:20
Speaker 4: The void that they had on the perimeter when they
33:22
Speaker 4: got knocked out by the Kansas City Chiefs and the
33:24
Speaker 4: Super Bowl a couple years ago. A lot of their
33:26
Speaker 4: issue was their inability to separate from man coverage.
33:29
Speaker 2: Inter Piersol.
33:31
Speaker 4: Outstanding route runner, someone who can cover get away from
33:33
Speaker 4: tight coverage, can do all the intricate and exotic routes
33:37
Speaker 4: that Kyle Shanahan prefers. If he's available, man, it's a
33:40
Speaker 4: tough guard. It's a tough cover, and you have to
33:42
Speaker 4: make sure that you got multiple hats around him when
33:45
Speaker 4: he catch the ball, because he's also a pretty good
33:47
Speaker 4: run after the catch, all right.
33:49
Speaker 3: The matchup is on the Jaguars and the forty nine
33:51
Speaker 3: Ers this Sunday at Levi Stadium, Santa Clara. We're back
33:55
Speaker 3: in the moment. Final thoughts including the Jaguars history in
34:00
Speaker 3: the state of California, I.
34:02
Speaker 6: Bring that out.
34:03
Speaker 3: Uh yep, well you gotta do it. We'll do it
34:06
Speaker 3: after this, it's huddle up with Bucky Brooks.
34:17
Speaker 8: They're a pretty simple scheme. They're not trying to really
34:19
Speaker 8: trick anyone. But they've always had a good defense and
34:21
Speaker 8: this scheme has always been really good and tough to
34:23
Speaker 8: play against because they are so consistent and they are
34:27
Speaker 8: really disciplined. They play most things top down. You know,
34:30
Speaker 8: they fly around sideline, the sideline as far as just
34:32
Speaker 8: the D line and the linebackers, so they make a
34:35
Speaker 8: lot of plays with that front group there, and then
34:38
Speaker 8: on the back end. I think they're really disciplined, they're
34:40
Speaker 8: really smart. So it's just we'll have some opportunities down
34:43
Speaker 8: the field, but it's really taking that profit every time
34:47
Speaker 8: and being able to check them ball down. And they've
34:50
Speaker 8: made you know, they've they've played really well with that
34:53
Speaker 8: scheme of just banking that you're not just gonna you know,
34:56
Speaker 8: take the small gains all the way down the field
34:59
Speaker 8: and put together nine, ten, twelve, play drive and go score.
35:02
Speaker 8: And they're also really good at taking the ball away.
35:03
Speaker 8: So when you do put the ball in harms way,
35:05
Speaker 8: whether it's a throw or just carrying the ball. They're
35:08
Speaker 8: really good at punching, causing fumbles, all those things, so
35:12
Speaker 8: you can tell it's a really well coached group. They
35:13
Speaker 8: fly around.
35:15
Speaker 2: That's the quarterback.
35:16
Speaker 3: Trevor lawrenceis press conference at Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars
35:20
Speaker 3: YouTube from earlier today. Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks is
35:22
Speaker 3: brought to you by Field's Auto Group Jacksonville. See Fields First,
35:26
Speaker 3: Jacksonville's premiere luxury Autogroup. Go to Fieldsauto dot Com. Final
35:32
Speaker 3: moments here. The Jaguars in Santa Clara this Sunday, only
35:36
Speaker 3: their second visit to Santa Clara, only their third visit
35:39
Speaker 3: ever to play the forty nine ers on the road.
35:41
Speaker 3: They've been a bunch of the Bay Area, of course
35:43
Speaker 3: when Oakland was still in the league before they moved
35:45
Speaker 3: to Vegas, but only their second trip to Levi's Stadium.
35:49
Speaker 3: The Jaguars historically in the state of California have not
35:52
Speaker 3: fared well. On your screen there four and eleven all
35:54
Speaker 3: time in the state and two at the Niners. You
35:58
Speaker 3: see the two losses there Candlestick IT nine and Levi
36:01
Speaker 3: Stadium in twenty seventeen that was late in the year
36:04
Speaker 3: and twenty seventeen around Christmas. I believe it was Christmas Eve,
36:07
Speaker 3: maybe I remember.
36:08
Speaker 6: The seventeen Oh yeah, they got rolled. They got it
36:10
Speaker 6: was Steamroll, the really good team.
36:12
Speaker 3: It wasn't even that close.
36:14
Speaker 6: No, it was.
36:16
Speaker 5: Niners got way way up early and Jack's actually the
36:19
Speaker 5: nice up coming back for a little bit in the
36:20
Speaker 5: first half, and then it.
36:21
Speaker 2: Was just uh cooked.
36:23
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was probably the worst loss of that year
36:25
Speaker 5: for that seventeen teen and.
36:26
Speaker 2: Then you see the rest.
36:27
Speaker 3: They've had horror stories against the Chargers both places. At
36:31
Speaker 3: the Rams once and at the Oakland Raiders they had
36:35
Speaker 3: mixed success. So this has got to be part of
36:39
Speaker 3: the new era of Jaguars football to put all this
36:42
Speaker 3: in the rear view. And then they haven't played this
36:44
Speaker 3: Jaguars team.
36:45
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, this is something that.
36:49
Speaker 5: When I was covering the team in the nineties, this
36:50
Speaker 5: wasn't a thing because it was so young. But since
36:53
Speaker 5: I've been back in eleven, you know, for fifteen years,
36:56
Speaker 5: every time you go West, no matter what era, this
37:01
Speaker 5: is the topic. And every era has said, hey, it's
37:06
Speaker 5: not us anymore, and it has been so I'm right
37:10
Speaker 5: later this week, this is not a must win game
37:12
Speaker 5: by any means but it is very much a chance
37:15
Speaker 5: to show you can go win out there a second,
37:19
Speaker 5: go beat a team like this that's a good team,
37:22
Speaker 5: no matter how many guys are hurt. They're three and zero.
37:25
Speaker 5: And I think most people in the league know what
37:27
Speaker 5: the Niners are. Bucky, They're respected. The Niners are the
37:33
Speaker 5: kind of team that it's tough for a team that's
37:36
Speaker 5: in the Jaguars position, just starting out. It's tough for
37:40
Speaker 5: them to go beat them, but you know what, you
37:43
Speaker 5: can go beat them and show that.
37:45
Speaker 6: This is different. So I think it's I think it's
37:47
Speaker 6: a big chance for this bunch.
37:50
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a huge opportunity.
37:51
Speaker 4: And in fact, as someone who lives in California, I
37:54
Speaker 4: always say we need to play more games in California.
37:56
Speaker 2: That's the only way to even the recor out.
37:57
Speaker 4: You got to have more bites at the applet, right,
37:59
Speaker 4: So maybe we could do something like that to kind
38:01
Speaker 4: of till the playing field back in.
38:04
Speaker 2: The Jaguars take your place. But oh, I mean yeah,
38:06
Speaker 2: we can do that, Like come on, I mean why not.
38:11
Speaker 4: What I will say is the Niners have always been
38:15
Speaker 4: an organization that has high standards, like they have a
38:18
Speaker 4: championship pedigree, It was established with Bill Washed and it's
38:21
Speaker 4: continued from coaches time after time, and so there's a
38:24
Speaker 4: way that they operate. They kind of know winning, the
38:27
Speaker 4: embrace winning, and for an upstart team, a team that
38:30
Speaker 4: is learning how to win, they take advantage of your
38:34
Speaker 4: mistakes because they know that you're not consistent enough to
38:38
Speaker 4: be able to do it down after down, quarter after quarter.
38:41
Speaker 2: For the Jaguars, I think if you're Liam Coin, I.
38:43
Speaker 4: Think in a way, you break this game down in
38:46
Speaker 4: the quarters and play each fifteen minute quarter on its own.
38:49
Speaker 4: Hey guys, let's get through the fourth quarter. Be right
38:50
Speaker 4: there in the second quarter. Let's get the halftime and
38:52
Speaker 4: make sure we're in range. Third quarter, we're here, fourth quarter,
38:55
Speaker 4: let's go win it. If you do those things and
38:57
Speaker 4: kind of take the the broader thing out of it,
39:00
Speaker 4: where you kind of focusing on an individual process that
39:04
Speaker 4: you break up, I think that'll give the Jags a chance.
39:07
Speaker 4: And it appears to listen, like listening to Trevor Lawrence
39:10
Speaker 4: when he talks about the defense, it appears to understand
39:12
Speaker 4: what they're up against. And when you do that and
39:15
Speaker 4: you have a heightened sense of awareness, you know who
39:17
Speaker 4: you're playing, not in terms of being intimidated, but just
39:20
Speaker 4: kind of knowing what's out there. I think we're gonna
39:23
Speaker 4: see the Jaguars respond with the best game of the
39:25
Speaker 4: season thus far.
39:26
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's sort of talking around the same issue the
39:32
Speaker 5: red zone. You don't want to give away an opportunity
39:35
Speaker 5: there because then they're running off the field telling each other, yeah,
39:37
Speaker 5: we were waiting for that. So I mean, that's exactly
39:40
Speaker 5: what I think. It's why it's such a mental test
39:43
Speaker 5: I think for the Jaguars this weekend to sort of
39:48
Speaker 5: approve to this forty nine ers team that'll be waiting
39:50
Speaker 5: for them to make those mistakes and that's not us.
39:52
Speaker 5: So it's I'm fascinated by it. I'm fascinated by this team.
39:57
Speaker 6: First of all.
39:57
Speaker 5: I was fascinated going to the Texans game. How they'd
39:59
Speaker 5: respond to that. I think they'll respond, well, I don't
40:02
Speaker 5: know if they'll win any It's a tall ask for
40:05
Speaker 5: them to win this game, but then they're gonna have
40:07
Speaker 5: a chance, and we're learning a lot about the toughness
40:10
Speaker 5: of this team. I think everything else you can say
40:12
Speaker 5: about the Jaguars, I do think they're a mentally and
40:14
Speaker 5: physically tough team, which is interesting to watch.
40:17
Speaker 6: After what we've seen here for a while.
40:19
Speaker 3: And the forty nine ers are so banged up as well,
40:21
Speaker 3: this would be a good time to get them well.
40:23
Speaker 3: While that's going on, Bucky, no time zone jumping for
40:26
Speaker 3: you this week. You get to stay in the Pacific
40:28
Speaker 3: time zone.
40:28
Speaker 6: You can ride your bike down, Bucky, is that what
40:30
Speaker 6: you're doing?
40:31
Speaker 2: I mean maybe, you know, I mean, I mean I might.
40:34
Speaker 4: I might try and keep it green and just kind
40:36
Speaker 4: of do something light work, don't you know.
40:38
Speaker 2: Make sure I take care of the people. It should
40:40
Speaker 2: be fun.
40:41
Speaker 4: I'll make sure I take take care of you and
40:42
Speaker 4: see if I can find you a nice little spot
40:44
Speaker 4: to eat and feel good enjoy someone.
40:46
Speaker 2: This California living, you know.
40:47
Speaker 6: I look forward to it. California.
40:49
Speaker 5: I am kind of a California guy. Bucky lives there,
40:51
Speaker 5: but spiritually I'm a California guy.
40:53
Speaker 2: I could see that John. I can see John.
40:56
Speaker 4: I can see John fully embracing all of that. I
40:58
Speaker 4: can see him as a beach work for me, you know.
41:01
Speaker 3: Yeah in San Francisco, though, I mean this is northern California.
41:05
Speaker 2: It's different.
41:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Northern California's a little chillier. But go now,
41:08
Speaker 4: we can we can figure it out. We can we
41:10
Speaker 4: can make it right for.
41:10
Speaker 3: You, Bucky. We'll talk to you later in the week. Man,
41:14
Speaker 3: appreciate it. Man, Let's go Bucky Brooks out of here.
