I'm excited about. 67 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what. That's what the Jags felt like 68 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 2: before last home game. It's been a while since the 69 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 2: Jaguars had been at home, and they took advantage of 70 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: it with a big win over the Indianapolis Colts thirty 71 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 2: six nineteen Jaguars dominant on defense, three takeaways, the number 72 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 2: one run defense in the league. They were questioned all week, 73 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 2: can they do it against Jonathan Taylor? Well, they did 74 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 2: it against Jonathan Taylor. Only seventy four yards rushing allowed 75 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 2: in the game, and of course on the offensive side. 76 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence may not be the best statistical game, but 77 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 2: it might have been one of the most impactful games 78 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 2: in his regular season career. A deep connection in each 79 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 2: quarter of the game, and that's something this offense had 80 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 2: been lacking. And it's a step in the right direction. 81 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 5: John, Yeah, and Bucky all that you talk about this, 82 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 5: and I know you have some thoughts on it, but 83 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 5: I thought Trevor a lot of stories in the game, 84 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 5: but the story of Trevor the way he looked. Look, 85 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 5: I don't know how to define when a corner's turned. 86 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 5: I don't know how to how to define levels. For Bucky, 87 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 5: I don't think you fake the way he looked in 88 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 5: the eye test that he passed the other day. In 89 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 5: terms of feel, confidence with the ball, calmness, knowing the 90 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 5: offense that presence. I think what we're seeing here in 91 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 5: the last couple of weeks is really significant. 92 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, John, I look, I agree with you, and I 93 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 3: said this in writing the Scouts take, like I've never 94 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 3: been more impressed with Trevor. I felt like it was 95 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 3: the best performance that I've seen him have in a 96 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 3: Jaguars uniform. And I know the numbers don't necessarily reflect that, 97 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 3: but if you were in the stadium, if you watch 98 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 3: the game, the feeling that you got watching Trevor Lawrence 99 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 3: was that of a franchise quarterback going to work. He 100 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 3: was terrific getting the ball to all of the playmakers. 101 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 3: As Liam Cohen said in his presser, he made the 102 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 3: coast defend every blade of grass. And what we saw 103 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 3: was vertical shots, horizontal plays, spot routes, persist I mean, 104 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 3: precise pinpoint passes. All the things that you expect to 105 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 3: see from a big time quarterback we saw. And it 106 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 3: wasn't until you really looked at the stash sheet that 107 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 3: you're like, oh, he didn't even complete sixty percent of 108 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 3: his passes and didn't have a three hundred yard day, 109 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 3: but it felt like a much bigger game than his 110 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 3: dash revealed. 111 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I said this and it's not. I 112 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 5: don't say this as a knock on Trevor, because I 113 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 5: have always thought that he was bare minimum good and 114 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 5: the question was how good could he be? But there 115 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 5: have been times where you watched him and there and 116 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 5: there were moments where you went, who don't do that, 117 00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 5: you know, hold your breath moments. And when you watched 118 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 5: him the other day, like I said this on Jagsam 119 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 5: on Monday, if you didn't know it was him, you 120 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 5: wouldn't have known it was him in that sense. There 121 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 5: were no like if it had been you know, Peyton 122 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 5: in his prime, or like any great quarterback, you would 123 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 5: have thought that's how that's supposed to look. And he 124 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 5: hasn't always had that kind of feel to him. For 125 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 5: the last two weeks. Again, that presence, that calmness, the 126 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 5: decision making. I just don't think you fake that. And again, 127 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 5: he's gonna throw picks, He's gonna have bad games in 128 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 5: the future, but it really does. The reason it's so 129 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 5: significant is all the other stuff we saw the other day. 130 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 5: We'd been seeing already, you know, the run defense, the scrap, 131 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 5: the ability to run not a great running day, but 132 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 5: to maintain control of the game with the run, all 133 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 5: those things they've already done. When you start, you know, 134 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 5: placing a franchise quarterback into that equation and BTJ making 135 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 5: plays downfield into that equation. Now, all of a sudden, 136 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 5: you go from what has been an efficient offense in 137 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 5: recent weeks to maybe being a great one. 138 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 3: You know, it's funny you talked about efficient in terms 139 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 3: of everything like what we're seeing in this league. To 140 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 3: be a team that is a title contender, you have 141 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 3: to have a few components. You have to have a 142 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 3: dominant defense, you have to have a coaching staff that 143 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 3: certainly understands how to manage the game. And then the 144 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 3: final component is a franchise quarterback that can get you 145 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 3: out of jams. And what we're beginning to see are 146 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 3: all of those things being checked off. The defense is 147 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 3: dominant in a way that it turns the ball over, 148 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 3: it stops to run, so they can make you play 149 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 3: on their terms. Offensively, Liam Cohn has done a really 150 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 3: good job of managing the game and getting all the 151 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 3: pieces involved. But the thing that you have to have 152 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 3: is a quarterback that can win a shootout with those 153 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 3: other quarterbacks. And as we look at how the playoffs. 154 00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 4: Are shaping up. 155 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 3: It's going to be a who's who of quarterback play 156 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 3: in the tournament and in the AFC in particular. You 157 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 3: have to feel confident that your quarterback can go toe 158 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 3: to toe against the other great quarterbacks that are gonna 159 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 3: be in the tournament. And I can feel this confidence 160 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 3: building not only with us on the outside, but the 161 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 3: way his teammates are responding to sixteen that they feel 162 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 3: like they have a special one at QB one. 163 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, back to back games now over one hundred rating. 164 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 2: He's had a three game streak of one hundred plus 165 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 2: rating games back in twenty twenty two. I actually had 166 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 2: five out of six in that stretch from the Jaguars 167 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 2: were turning the corner into December in that playoff run 168 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 2: that year. And even with that, quarterbacks with nine or 169 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 2: more wins over the last ten seasons, he's among the 170 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 2: bottom four in that time in passer rating eighty three 171 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 2: point three in this twenty twenty five campaign, and all 172 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 2: the rest of the bottom five are in the twenty 173 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 2: seventeen season, including Blake Bortles. Still some time for him 174 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 2: to kind of continue to improve week to week as 175 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 2: we move on down the stretch. One final thought here 176 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 2: on the defensive play last week. When the quarterback goes down, 177 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 2: it changes everything clearly, But you know what, they still 178 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 2: did their job against the number one rushing attacking, number 179 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 2: one running back in the NFL and Jonathan Taylor. And 180 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 2: there's a lot of positive going on in this defense 181 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:20,319 Speaker 2: right now. 182 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 5: Well, they'd already picked Daniel Jones once. I think the 183 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 5: game would have been closer had Daniel Jones been in, 184 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 5: But look, they were up twenty one to seven, they 185 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 5: were up fourteen to ten. That game felt like the 186 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 5: Jaguars were in control of it. They would have been 187 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 5: under more pressure and a more scoreboard pressure, which I 188 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 5: think Rya. Leonard been in being in gave you a 189 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 5: feeling that they were going to be able to maintain 190 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 5: that lead. It would have been tougher, but I thought 191 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 5: the job they did on Jonathan Taylor, it'd been easy 192 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 5: to say, well, you you had a lead, and when 193 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 5: you have a lead, it's easier to shut down a 194 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 5: running back. But the Colts stuck with Jonathan Taylor, and 195 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 5: at no point in that game, Bucky did Jonathan Taylor 196 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,839 Speaker 5: and the Colts running game ever feel like it was 197 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 5: getting traction to be the factor in the game. 198 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:20,839 Speaker 4: I would agree with you. 199 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 3: It always felt like he was under control from the jump, 200 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 3: and I'm gonna tell you, man, this game felt like 201 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 3: the Jags from the start, the level of dominance, the urgency, 202 00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 3: the turnover early in the game, then being able to 203 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 3: bottle up twenty eight. Whenever he had the ball in 204 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 3: his hands, they were running to the ball. They made 205 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 3: a concerted effort to get eleven hats to the ball 206 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 3: and they knocked it out. In fact, I would say 207 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 3: that this game was more difficult for them because of 208 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 3: all of the unknowns about the new quarterback coming in. 209 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 3: Riley Lennard comes in, and so you have to basically 210 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 3: take your game plan that you practice all week cast 211 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 3: that to the side while trying to figure out what 212 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 3: this new quarterback can do and how they're going to 213 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 3: operate with that. So it kind of forced us to 214 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 3: go back to a very vanilla script until you can 215 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 3: figure out how to contain Ridley Leonard and some of 216 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 3: the defensive players talked about that after the game in 217 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 3: terms of it was just weird and awkward trying to 218 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 3: get used to someone new. But nah, this felt like, 219 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 3: as the young people would say, This was a BTA 220 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 3: game a belt too, because I don't want to curse 221 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 3: on the thing, but it felt like about to ask him. 222 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 5: If you bringing the he's home with his boys, he's language. 223 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 4: It felt it felt like that from the jump, and 224 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 4: so I loved it. 225 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 3: I love watching it, and I think there's a lot 226 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 3: of confidence that they will continue to gain from this 227 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 3: as they move into the final quarter of the season 228 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 3: where every game matters. 229 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 5: Hey, Buck, you're at home? Is your mom okay? With 230 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 5: that kind of language? 231 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 3: I mean that so so you have to understand the deacon, 232 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 3: my dad is front, and the choir lady is way 233 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 3: way up there, so they're far away from me. And 234 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 3: luckily I have the door closed so you can't hear 235 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 3: me utter a bad word. But yeah, I probably it 236 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 3: probably would have been a little BTA you know all 237 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,719 Speaker 3: about it didn't represent I didn't represent the family very 238 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 3: very well and using some bad language. 239 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 2: Well, Jack should use another BTA game this week against 240 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 2: the New York Jets. We'll come back and preview the 241 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 2: matchup this week in week fifteen, the three and ten 242 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 2: Jets coming to town to face the nine and four Jaguars, 243 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 2: and if you want customized Jagg's furniture for your home. 244 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 2: Check out zip chare dot com and browse all customizable options. 245 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,199 Speaker 2: Zip Chair Furniture for fans. It tuddle up with Bucky Brooks. 246 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,959 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean there's definitely means you take a look 247 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 6: at from from the past and with all three of 248 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 6: those quarterbacks that you have to be kind of prepared for. 249 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 6: So all three of them a little bit different in 250 00:12:55,080 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 6: their own way, but also from what they're trying to 251 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 6: do offensively coming from Detroit, you know, they want to 252 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 6: be able to run the football, be physical. So I 253 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 6: think that that's where it really starts for those guys 254 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 6: and whoever's playing quarterback. You know, we just got to 255 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 6: make sure that we're prepared for. 256 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,319 Speaker 2: That's a head coach of course, Liam Cohen earlier today 257 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 2: his Wednesday press conference. It's up on Jaguars dot com 258 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 2: and Jaguars YouTube. Welcome back. It is huddled up with 259 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks. JP Shadrick with John Ozer in Jacksonville, Bucky 260 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 2: Brooks in the tar Heel State today his hometown of 261 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 2: Raley as the Jaguars will welcome in the New York 262 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 2: Jets and they're not very good. Three and ten overall 263 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 2: but three and three over the last six and a 264 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 2: lot of that is due to the changes in the quarterback. 265 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 2: They've had injuries obviously, now their third quarterback played yesterday 266 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 2: or last week. Justin Fields has been banged up. Tyrod 267 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 2: Taylor got hurt in the game, Brady Cook played. I 268 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 2: don't think either Taylor or Field's practice today. So when 269 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,439 Speaker 2: you have three quarterbacks, you don't really have a quarterback. 270 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 2: And what's going on with the Jets on offense. 271 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,719 Speaker 3: There's a lot of bad ball and a lot of 272 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 3: bad ball stemming from the quarterback play. Whenever you have 273 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 3: inconsistent quarterback play, it's hard for your offense to kind 274 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 3: of maximize the explosives potential despite the weapons that they 275 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 3: have on the outside. You had injuries to Justin Fields 276 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 3: and poor play that led to his benching. Tyrod Taylor 277 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 3: gets in their shows flashes, but then he gets hurt 278 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 3: and now you're on the Brady Cook and undrafted free agent. 279 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 4: He's trying to find his way in the league. 280 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 3: When you have that, you're just not going to be 281 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 3: able to utilize all the weapons at your disposal. That 282 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 3: said dangerous team because they do have some playmakers breeze 283 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 3: halt is terrific. Gar Wilson was a former Offensive Rookie 284 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 3: of the Year. They have some playmakers, but the quarterback 285 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 3: is the issue. And if they have to play a 286 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 3: rookie quarterback, you have to think that they're gonna run 287 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 3: the football and be very simple in the passing game. 288 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 4: That's it. You got to shut it off. You can't 289 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 4: let them get going gain confidence. 290 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's different kinds of teams late in season. There's 291 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 5: the contenders. There's the teams that have basically quit on it. 292 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 5: The Jets are not a team that's quit on it. 293 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 5: They have first year head coach, which is usually means 294 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 5: you're not going to quit on it because you know 295 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 5: your job is on the line in the last few 296 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 5: games and you know you want to be a part 297 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 5: of this. And I would assume from what I know 298 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 5: of Aaron Glenn, Jets players are probably still rallying behind 299 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 5: that without a quarterback, they're struggling. The record kind of 300 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 5: shows that they've won three the last six. They scored 301 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 5: twenty seven points in three of those games, but they're 302 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 5: against teams that are also struggling. They haven't really been 303 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 5: able to content. You know, have been able to play 304 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 5: well against good teams, which to me means exactly what 305 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 5: Bucky said. You make sure that those playmakers can't get 306 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 5: big plays, so you make them dry. They're probably gonna 307 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 5: make mistakes with the young quarterback, and you want to 308 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 5: get up on them in the first half so that 309 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 5: all of that, you know, I guess you know, schoolboys 310 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 5: enthusiasm goes away by halftime and you think, Okay, well 311 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 5: we tried, but they're a better team than us. It's okay, 312 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 5: We're gonna get on the plane and go home. Don't 313 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 5: have a couple of big plays early, Bucky that puts 314 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 5: you up fourteen to ten, and have them believe at 315 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 5: halftime they can win this because winning's cool. All people 316 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 5: want to do it. You want to make it hard 317 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 5: by halftime so that they don't think they can do it. 318 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 5: If it's cool at halftime, then you play the second 319 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 5: half hard. 320 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 4: Yeah. 321 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 3: I mean, look, I think this approach is very similar 322 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 3: to the approach that we have versus the Titans. I 323 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 3: think on this show we talked about it being very 324 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 3: similar to Tiger Woods having a three shot lead on Sunday. 325 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 3: Just knock down pars, do what you need to do 326 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 3: to get the win. You don't have to extend yourself. 327 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 3: You don't have to be over aggressive. I think if 328 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 3: you're the Jaguars, it's a very simple approach due to 329 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 3: things that we do really well. Don't give them a 330 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 3: chance by doing silly stuff. Avoid the pre staffed penalties 331 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 3: and turnovers and that thing. Those things. If you do 332 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 3: those things well, they'll have a tough time generating enough 333 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 3: points to beat you at the bank. So to me, 334 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 3: this is an US game, has little to do with 335 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 3: the jests and what they what they bring when they. 336 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 5: Show up, and Bucky does a defensive coordinator sort of 337 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,360 Speaker 5: take that approach a little more. You know, you've talked 338 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 5: about this style of play, eyes on the ball and 339 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 5: then break on the ball. Do you take that even more? Hey, 340 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 5: we have a rookie quarterback. If we make this team 341 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 5: turn in seven to ten play drives, they're gonna throws 342 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 5: the ball more than against a you know, do you 343 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 5: play more that way against a young guy and just say, hey, 344 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 5: do not let them have sixty yard plays? 345 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 4: Yeah? 346 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 3: I mean, I think there is something to taking a 347 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,959 Speaker 3: more conservative approach, And I would use last game as 348 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 3: an example. Early in the game when Riley Live was in. 349 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 3: We tried to heat them up a little bit. We 350 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 3: brought some pressure, and we gave up some plays early 351 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 3: and let them kind of flip the field. I think 352 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 3: they scored field goals on back to back possessions with them, 353 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 3: and then the second half we were like, hey, let's 354 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 3: just make them drive the length of the field, don't 355 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 3: get out of pocket, make them string together a series 356 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 3: of completions, and let's see if he can be consistent 357 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,679 Speaker 3: enough to do it. The approach would be similar with 358 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 3: Brady Cook. We have to think with the Jets, they 359 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 3: want to run the football, they're gonna try to protect 360 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 3: them by. 361 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 4: Doing these simple concepts. 362 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 3: In those things, you can anticipate what those are, and 363 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 3: you just stay disciplined, be on the details, and make 364 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 3: this guy beat you, because over time, the odds will 365 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 3: tell you that he's not going to be able. 366 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 4: To make enough plays over four quarters to beat you. 367 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 2: It's hudled up with Bucky Brooks. Let's take a look 368 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 2: now at the New York Jets defense, and they are 369 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 2: on pace for the fewest total takeaways in a season 370 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,879 Speaker 2: in the NFL since at least nineteen forty one. Only 371 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 2: two takeaways for the season no interceptions this year, it 372 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,680 Speaker 2: would be the fewest interceptions since first track to nineteen 373 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 2: thirty two. The next lowest is two and twenty eighteen. 374 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 2: The forty nine Ers the old Saint Louis Gunners in 375 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 2: nineteen thirty four had three interceptions, along with the Oilers 376 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 2: in eighty two in Texans in twenty twenty, so this 377 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 2: is an epic pace of no takeaways for the defense. 378 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 2: They've made trade deadline moves to get rid of some 379 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 2: big name players Sauce Gardner to the Colts, Quinnin Williams 380 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 2: to the Cowboys, of course, to acquire high draft capital 381 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 2: for a future build. So what's left in the Jets defense? 382 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 3: This reminds me of watching our defense last year where 383 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,959 Speaker 3: we couldn't generate takeaways. And part of it is not 384 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 3: by design, but it is by the weight that you play. 385 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 3: They are team that likes to play a lot of 386 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 3: man match coverage, so their man demand, their. 387 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 4: Eyes are on their work as opposed on the quarterback. 388 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,719 Speaker 3: Normally, when you play that much man deaman or manlike concepts, 389 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,879 Speaker 3: you're going to have more breakaways than intercept mean breakups 390 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 3: to interceptions just because you just don't see the ball enough. 391 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 3: Like we're talking about visiting break where you're looking at 392 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 3: the quarterback. They're not looking at the quarterback, so the 393 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 3: late reactions tend to lead to deflections as opposed to interceptions. 394 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 3: That said, if they generate pressure, if they're able to 395 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 3: get enough people around the quarterback, they can create some turnovers. 396 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 3: They just haven't been able to do it consistently enough. 397 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 3: I hope they find a way to turn it around 398 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 3: after they play US. Let them chase that record of futility. 399 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,120 Speaker 3: I just don't want to see them have a good 400 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 3: game against US. 401 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:31,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, zero interceptions through thirteen games is stunning. 402 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 2: Absolutely unbelievable. 403 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 5: They clearly Turvor Lawrence on the podium today, there's no 404 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 5: doubt it's true. They clearly have had opportunities. When you 405 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 5: have zero thir thirteen games, you've had a couple of 406 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 5: bad breaks. You haven't been able to hold it. But 407 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 5: you know that would be They always say every record 408 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 5: could be broken. That record would not be broken, and 409 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 5: because you would never have negative. 410 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 2: It's hard to have negatives, right. 411 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 5: But it's, uh, we've seen this before and I kind 412 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 5: of joke about that with empathy because in the last 413 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 5: seven or eight years, the Jaguars have had two seasons 414 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 5: where they've had fewer than ten takeaways, and that's up 415 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 5: there in the top ten worst of all time. Only 416 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 5: two takeaways. Is you cross your fingers because they must 417 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,360 Speaker 5: be due, right, because that's really low. That's it's all 418 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 5: times my dad used to say about stuff. You almost 419 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 5: have to work to do that. 420 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 2: It's all time low. I mean, that's what we're dealing 421 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 2: with here. One final thought on the Jets, and you 422 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 2: know what, Bucky, they do have some special teams bite 423 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 2: to them. A couple of punt return touchdowns this year 424 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 2: for Isaya. Williams Wongu, the kick returner, has one to 425 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 2: the house this year. So and the guys we're talking 426 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 2: about it today, Liam Cohen especially, Hey, this is a 427 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 2: special team. That's one of the things John that you 428 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 2: know what, Hey, things aren't going well whatever, and then 429 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 2: they can have a spark in a heartbeat with a 430 00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 2: punt return. 431 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 3: You don't let him go out, Nah, don't let them 432 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 3: get out. And these are the things that you talk 433 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 3: about when you're facing team, because let's be honest, Liam 434 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 3: has to stand in front of the team and talk 435 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 3: about this team has only won three games, but do 436 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 3: not sleep on them. And the way that they can 437 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 3: beat us is if we give them opportunities a big return, 438 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 3: a block punt, something on the third phase that gets 439 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 3: them jacked up, that gives them easy points. Then we 440 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 3: mess around and turn it over on offense, and before 441 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 3: you know it, you're now in a fourth quarter battle 442 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 3: that you have to figure out how to win it 443 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 3: in the end. Because of that, you want to make 444 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 3: sure that everyone's antenna is up, their focus is ready 445 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 3: during the practice week so they can take care of 446 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 3: this team. Special teams are gonna be a big part 447 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 3: of it. You got to think with the Jets coming 448 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 3: in with a ricky quarterback, they go have some tricks 449 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 3: and some funny stuff on the docket. Whether it's a 450 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 3: surprise onside, well you can't really surprise onside like you 451 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 3: used to, but whether it's a fake punt, whether it's 452 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 3: a trick play on a return or something like that, 453 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 3: you have toticipate that this team is going to try 454 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 3: and do some gimmicky gadgety stuff to try and create 455 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 3: some opportunities for them. 456 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 2: To score some yolo moments. You're saying, yeah, I guess yeah, 457 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 2: use that right, I not, you only live once, might 458 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:16,959 Speaker 2: as well use it. 459 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 5: I don't know, Just just let Bucky. Just let Bucky 460 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 5: handle forgot who showed this is by catchphrases around here? 461 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 2: All right, fellow kids, will be back in just a 462 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 2: moment with more on this Jaguars defense. They've done well, 463 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,360 Speaker 2: and of course the Jests Jaguars game was presented by Geico. 464 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 2: It feels good to Geico and this is huddle up 465 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 2: with Bucky Brooks. 466 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 6: But like I've just always heard from you know, college, 467 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 6: to early on coaching at the IVY and the IVY League, 468 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 6: to the c A to the SEC to the NFL, 469 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 6: was like, when you're struggling, just you got to go 470 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 6: back to fundamentals and basics and technique and doing the 471 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 6: things that they that you know are going to be 472 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 6: pillars of your you know, fundamental of your foundation of 473 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 6: what you believe in, what you want it to be. 474 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 6: But also look at, okay, what is too much for 475 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 6: these guys to handle and what allows them to go 476 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 6: and just play fast? Because that's what it really is 477 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 6: about me. There's so many plays, there's so many routes, 478 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 6: there's so many coverages and blitzes and stuff that you 479 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 6: can do and you maybe want to do and your 480 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 6: players can can. 481 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 4: Do it all. 482 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 6: Well, that's great, but that sometimes takes time, said. 483 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 2: Coach of course, Liam Cohen earlier today discussing the Jaguars 484 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 2: defense at the bye week and coordinator Anthony Campanelli kind 485 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 2: of bringing her down to the studs and revamping some 486 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,199 Speaker 2: things a little bit.

They 500 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 2: fared pretty well overall on defense, eleventh in the league. 501 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 2: Since the bye week, Josh heinz Allen has six and 502 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 2: a half of his seven sacks and at least one 503 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 2: sack and five of the six games since the bye week. 504 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 2: It's just one example of a lot of things that 505 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 2: have changed for this defense. The most to you, Bucky, 506 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 2: since to buy. 507 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 3: Just exactly what Liam Cohen has talked about since the 508 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 3: bye being able to dig down deep, simplify everything so 509 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 3: the guys can play fast. It is very clear that 510 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,239 Speaker 3: they're playing fast and there's a better understanding of what 511 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 3: they're being asked to do, and we've seen more plays 512 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 3: from that unit as a result. It is natural for 513 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 3: a coordinator a play caller on offense or defense that 514 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 3: when you're having success, you want to keep adding to it. 515 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 3: You think, okay, well we did displitch. We can just 516 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 3: layer it with displitz and add more to it. And 517 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 3: what you can do is overwhelm your players. And so 518 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 3: when you get to the bye week and you. 519 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 4: Break it down, you. 520 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,600 Speaker 3: Get back to the basics, you discover that simplicity can 521 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 3: really unlock a lot of playmaking for your guys. 522 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 4: We had to do it out of necessity. 523 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 3: Because there was a stress that we were playing with 524 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,360 Speaker 3: so many young guys in the secondary. And I think 525 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 3: what we discovered or rediscovered is man, when we play 526 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 3: simple and everyone knows what they're doing, we have enough 527 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 3: talent to overwhelm people. Why don't we just stick to 528 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 3: that approach? And has been very very successful for us. 529 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, and I think too after the Houston game, they 530 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 5: just they really got on the front seven about look 531 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 5: rush as a as a group stayed true to the 532 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 5: plan and Josh heinz Allen, who all season had gotten 533 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 5: good pressure, has really benefited I think from the entire 534 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 5: unit rushing well until the bye, Bucky, you know, the 535 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 5: pass rush was a liability. I don't know right now 536 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,400 Speaker 5: that it's what I would call a great pass rush. 537 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,640 Speaker 5: I mean, I've covered and seen great pass rushes when 538 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,159 Speaker 5: I was in Indie and twenty seventeen. I don't know 539 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 5: if it's that. But when you're leading, which the Jaguars 540 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,399 Speaker 5: have been, doesn't it feel with this group now that 541 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 5: when they have a lead, they're going to get enough 542 00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 5: pressure most plays to make the offense uncomfortable enough where 543 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 5: long drives are going to be hard. And I think 544 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 5: that's what you need from a pass rush if you're 545 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 5: going to be a good team. 546 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, and it goes back to the conflimentary ball, right. 547 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 3: So we talked about the importance of being able to 548 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 3: rely on the offense, defense and special teams playing together 549 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,959 Speaker 3: to get wins. Well, one of the things that we 550 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 3: were doing successfully early in the year we were jumping 551 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 3: out the leads. We're running the football, and we were 552 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 3: forcing teams to throw against a defense that knew the 553 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 3: opponent had to chase points. 554 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 4: So that allows the pass rush to go. That allows 555 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 4: the cover guys to sit back. 556 00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 3: And really dial into the quarterback because you have them 557 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,160 Speaker 3: in long yarded or obvious passing downs. 558 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 4: Then we hit a lull. 559 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 3: Well, now we're back to that, and one of the 560 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 3: reasons why the pass rush has been able to heat 561 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 3: up is because we're stopping to run on early downs. 562 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,480 Speaker 4: When you have the number one rush defense. 563 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 3: Now you get into a lot of second and eight, 564 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 3: third and six, third and seven plus those are obvious 565 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 3: passing situations, so Josh Allen can ignore the run because 566 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 3: he's hunting the quarterback. A lot of it is beginning 567 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 3: to play together in terms of winning early downs to 568 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 3: set yourself up for success in later downs. So, yeah, 569 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 3: the pass rush is more successful or we've seen an 570 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 3: uptick in that, but a lot of it is due 571 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 3: to our ability to win on first down and stop 572 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 3: the run. 573 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 4: Yeah. 574 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 5: I forget which one told me this in India. It 575 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 5: was either Mathis or Freeiny and I may be remembering 576 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 5: it bad, but said nobody. No pass rusher gets a 577 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 5: second contract on third and two. I mean, you know, 578 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 5: and I forget exactly, but it's really what it is. 579 00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 5: I mean, guys do not make a living rushing the 580 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 5: passer on second and three. I mean, it's it's passing situations. 581 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 5: It's late game, it's late half. And I think that's 582 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 5: one of the most misunderstood things when people try to 583 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 5: analyze pass rushers. You know, unless maybe Miles Garrett is 584 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 5: an exception, but most of these guys, you know, do 585 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 5: not get their sacks on first, inten and second and three, 586 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 5: third and one. It's got to be situational, and they 587 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 5: are putting themselves in situations now where they can rush 588 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 5: the pass. 589 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 2: Great to see for the Jaguars defense, and we'll see 590 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 2: if they can get it done again this week against 591 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 2: the New York Jets and downstretch four games to go, 592 00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 2: or turn with a look at the AFC playoff race. 593 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 2: The Jaguar is currently the number three seed in that race. 594 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 2: We'll look at some scenarios when we come back. It's 595 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 2: huddle up with Bucky Brooks. 596 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 7: I think it reflects the way, you know, we've played, 597 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 7: the way I've played, especially the last few weeks as 598 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 7: an offense, we've played a lot better, and I think 599 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 7: that's showing just about to getting more comfortable, more confident, 600 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 7: our group coming together more and more. You know, it 601 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 7: takes some time, especially on offense sometimes to really get 602 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 7: that rhythm and continuity between the whole group, especially you 603 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 7: get a lot of guys in and out with injuries 604 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,680 Speaker 7: and a lot of new guys coming in, and you know, 605 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 7: we've had some changes and the guys have handled it 606 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 7: really well, and I really feel like we're in a 607 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 7: spot now where we're playing a lot more consistent, playing well. 608 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 7: I think we all feel really confident out there, including myself, 609 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 7: and that's definitely grown throughout the season and just getting 610 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 7: more comfortable with our group and with our system. 611 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 2: That is the quarterback of course. Trevor Lawrence. The full 612 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 2: press conference at Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube and 613 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 2: welcome back.

See Fields First, Jacksonville's premier luxury autogroup. 615 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 2: Go to Fieldsauto dot com. By the way, Trevor Lawrence 616 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 2: on the injury report this week with an ankle issue 617 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 2: limited on Wednesday. They wear baseball hats on Wednesday practices 618 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 2: around here, and they really amp it up on Thursday. 619 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 2: We'll see how that goes moving ahead. Long list for 620 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 2: the Jets as well, So there you go. That's the quarterback. 621 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,719 Speaker 2: And now the Jaguars, of course number one in the 622 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 2: AFC South. As you look at the AFC playoff race, 623 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 2: the Jaguars currently the number three seed and the AFC 624 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 2: playoffs if it ended today, Broncos won, Patriots two, both 625 00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 2: teams eleven and two. Steelers seven and six lead that division. 626 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 2: The Chargers got a big win the other night, nine 627 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 2: and four. The Bills are a problem for everybody, So 628 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 2: at the Texans on defense, and then in the hunt 629 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 2: the Colts. They just signed Philip Rivers in the practice 630 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 2: squad today. They've got some big issues. Ravens the Chiefs 631 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 2: are behind the eight ball, and the Dolphins have trended 632 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 2: well lately. So all right, Jets this week and then 633 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 2: next week the big trip out to Denver for what 634 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 2: could be a monumental game. I think the Broncos have 635 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 2: the Packers this week as well. So, I mean, this 636 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 2: is obviously you got to handle your own business, John, 637 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 2: but there's a lots too out there for this team. 638 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 5: Yeah, you're still at the point where the best thing 639 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 5: to do if you're the Jaguars is to close your 640 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 5: eyes and keep playing. And because everything you know, if 641 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 5: you do that, control everything else. And I get that's 642 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:52,239 Speaker 5: a cliche, but there's so much going on that if 643 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 5: you sit there and you say, well, they can get 644 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,120 Speaker 5: you know, there's an easy scenario where they get the Broncos. 645 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 5: Packers are really good. Yeah, and you go beat then 646 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 5: because now you're ahead of them. 647 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 4: Uh. 648 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 5: The Patriots play the Bills. They have somebody else the 649 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 5: next week who's tough. I forget, you know, but they're 650 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,479 Speaker 5: all tough. I mean. And with four games to go 651 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 5: in this league. 652 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,280 Speaker 2: Bill's Ravens, Jets, Dolphins for the for the Patriots. 653 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, So, and the Dolphins are playing with four games 654 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 5: to go in this league. One of those teams in 655 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 5: the top or i'd say one, two or three of 656 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,760 Speaker 5: those teams in the top five of that graphic are 657 00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 5: going to have a game they lose where everybody goes, oh, 658 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:35,840 Speaker 5: how could they lose that? 659 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:36,720 Speaker 4: You know, so. 660 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 5: Keep playing nobody is and it could be the Jags, right, 661 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 5: I mean, keep playing nobody is for you know. 662 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 4: M hmm. 663 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:58,160 Speaker 5: Here's my peeve JP pet pee it's only one is uh. 664 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 5: Graphics that say somebody's percentage chance to make the playoffs 665 00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,000 Speaker 5: with you, Oh, they have a ninety three percent chance 666 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 5: to make the playoffs. Yeah, if they win, and if 667 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,319 Speaker 5: they don't win, they have no chance to make the playoffs. So, 668 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,839 Speaker 5: I mean, it's I think it's the silliest graphic, all 669 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,360 Speaker 5: that stuff about the Patriots have this percentage chance the 670 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,320 Speaker 5: wrongs maybe in the last game, maybe the last two games. 671 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 5: You can get down to that. You're still playing football. 672 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,239 Speaker 5: It's still the NFL. Three or four of those teams 673 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:29,320 Speaker 5: are gonna have weird losses. One of those teams might collapse. 674 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 5: I mean, so we saw it here. What were the 675 00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 5: percentage chants in twenty three They're gonna make the playoffs 676 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 5: at eight and three ninety five. Well, you know what 677 00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,319 Speaker 5: the percentage chances were when they started losing games, None 678 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:45,280 Speaker 5: because they didn't make it. So get that out of here, Bucky. 679 00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 2: I love, by the way, I love the oppression of 680 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,319 Speaker 2: people who say, why did you lose that one? You 681 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 2: know that impression? 682 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:55,360 Speaker 5: You sound just like him, John, all right, I'm calming down. 683 00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 4: Ready to him. 684 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 3: Embrace everything and say that there's a chance we can 685 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,880 Speaker 3: be the number one seed going into the tournament. I'm 686 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 3: just looking at schedules and just looking at the Broncos, 687 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 3: who have the Packers us then they play the Chiefs 688 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 3: and the Chargers, like that's a tough slate for them 689 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,439 Speaker 3: to finish. I'm looking at the Buffalo Bills, and yeah, 690 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,200 Speaker 3: it eases up for them they play. I mean, I'm 691 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 3: looking at the Patriots, they play the Buffalo Bills, they 692 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 3: play the Baltimore Ravens. They have the Jets and the Dolphins. 693 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,319 Speaker 3: But you know, division play, there's there's an opportunity that 694 00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 3: you may be able to take a week off when 695 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,799 Speaker 3: we get into the postseason. Everyone may be able to 696 00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 3: take a week off, enjoy the Saturday, do something else. 697 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 3: And we're not participating in wildcard weekend. I want to 698 00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 3: hold on to that and think that we're going to 699 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 3: do what we need to do to get the number 700 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 3: one seed because we're gonna win them all at the 701 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 3: stretch and then we're gonna be chilling on walk our. 702 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 2: Weekend and then for us, the only way to do 703 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 2: that is to win them. Yeah, the other cards fallwhere. 704 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 5: They keep winning that you don't have to worry about 705 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,960 Speaker 5: the Texans catching if you keep winning, you know you 706 00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:57,160 Speaker 5: can you might be hosting you keep And I don't 707 00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 5: think Bucky, you're around this team on game day more 708 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 5: than us because we're in you know, you know, you're 709 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,479 Speaker 5: in the locker room and I'm you know, up in 710 00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:12,360 Speaker 5: my seat in the press box where I'm dry. 711 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 4: But. 712 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,240 Speaker 5: We're around it during the week and you talk to people. 713 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 5: I don't have any thought that this team is going 714 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 5: to be anything but motivated and focused because they haven't 715 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 5: done anything yet. It's still new to them. They're still hungry. 716 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 5: Maybe the respect thing comes in a little bit and 717 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 5: all that, but you know, kidding, aside about the respect thing, 718 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 5: you do get an overall feeling about this team of 719 00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 5: you know, we just want to keep showing people we're good. 720 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:41,319 Speaker 5: People don't realize yet, So I don't think it's good. 721 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,880 Speaker 5: I think it's conceivable this team could win three of 722 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 5: four down the stretch, or possibly even four, get to 723 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 5: twelve and five, and maybe even thirteen and four. I mean, 724 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 5: I think with the way this team is focused now, 725 00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 5: all of a sudden, you got guys getting healthy, I 726 00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 5: do think it's possible for this to be special. 727 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, there is a real possibility that this could be 728 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 3: a very special year. And part of the reason is 729 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 3: because I've seen a change in the way the team 730 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,400 Speaker 3: approaches each and every week. A lot of times you 731 00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,360 Speaker 3: hear coaches do what they do. They talking coach speak 732 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 3: and cliches and those things they talk about. Oh man, 733 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 3: I'm so focused. I can only think about today. I 734 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,960 Speaker 3: can't even think about what I'm i have for dinner tonight. 735 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,480 Speaker 3: I'm so focused on the next practice. It's the most 736 00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 3: important practice we're now I'm beginning to hear the players 737 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 3: utter those similar sentiments about just being dowt in, focused 738 00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 3: on going, want to oh this week, can't get to 739 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 3: Thursday practice without focusing on Wednesday, et cetera, et cetera, 740 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 3: et cetera. So they're all in drinking the kool aid. 741 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,879 Speaker 3: And that's great because when they're bought in, that means 742 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 3: they're going to be more likely to play to the 743 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 3: level that Liam Korn wants them to play. That said, 744 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,359 Speaker 3: as long as they stay focused the way they've been 745 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 3: focused and not really worry about the disrespect that may 746 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 3: or may not been coming their way, some of the 747 00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:00,359 Speaker 3: manufactured slights that they've had, just focus on being really 748 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 3: good at improving each week. 749 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,360 Speaker 4: This team legitimately. 750 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 3: Has a chance, and I'm excited because you can see 751 00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 3: it coming together as the pieces of the puzzle will 752 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 3: come back, the main players come back and all that 753 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,319 Speaker 3: Jaguars are sitting in a great spot right now. 754 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:14,960 Speaker 5: I think they're at the point now with the respect 755 00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 5: thing JP, where if they can't find anything, William's gonna 756 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 5: find some AI to make some sense. 757 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,720 Speaker 2: Yet is going to be busier. 758 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 4: They make it up. They make it up. 759 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 3: There's something, there's something that they will say and they 760 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 3: will just put it up there, and yeah, it could 761 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 3: be an AI creative thing, but yeah, a lot of 762 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:33,359 Speaker 3: disrespect out there. 763 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:33,720 Speaker 4: Everything. 764 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 5: Well, I think it's really interesting JP, and I know 765 00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:40,799 Speaker 5: we're about to close it. All the disrespect stuff, all 766 00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 5: of the focus. You can't make up what you're seeing. 767 00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,879 Speaker 5: And for the last five or six weeks, yes, they 768 00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 5: lost to the Texans, but except for one quarter out 769 00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,040 Speaker 5: of six weeks, this is a team that's getting progressively better, 770 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 5: progressively healthier. Every you know, the wide receivers are playing 771 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 5: more consistently. Brenton Strange back, that's area. Yeah, that area 772 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 5: is playing more consistently. They're not running for fifty yards 773 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 5: a game, but they're running when they want to run. 774 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 5: They're staying in control. You can't look at this team 775 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 5: in the last six weeks and say that it is 776 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 5: not an improving football team significantly improving in critical areas. 777 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,120 Speaker 5: The past rush is getting better, they're stopping the run already. 778 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 5: That it's hard to improve during the season. To the 779 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 5: extent that this team has improved over the last six weeks, 780 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,360 Speaker 5: it's really impressive that they've been able to keep this together, 781 00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 5: keep it focused. Even the good teams we've covered here 782 00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 5: JP and not many of them, seventeen didn't really you know, 783 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,279 Speaker 5: get dramatically better in a lot of spots out of 784 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,759 Speaker 5: the course season. They stayed really good at what they did. 785 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:56,759 Speaker 2: Blake got hot in December. 786 00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,880 Speaker 5: Yes, twenty two. They kind of came out of nowhere, 787 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 5: but they didn't feel solid like this. 788 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,120 Speaker 2: They were coming back and from behind, and. 789 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,399 Speaker 5: This is a team that feels like it's gone. It's 790 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 5: always been good. This team has beaten a lot of 791 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,640 Speaker 5: good teams all year, but the only teams that have 792 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:18,240 Speaker 5: beaten them since Week two are the Seahawks, the Rams, 793 00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 5: and the Texans. I could argue those are five of 794 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,000 Speaker 5: the top You're three of the top five or six 795 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 5: teams in the league right now. You have to be 796 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,480 Speaker 5: really good to beat this team right now. 797 00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:33,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say that you look at who we played, 798 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 3: how we played. 799 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 4: The only dud game that I. 800 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,840 Speaker 3: Would say would be the Cincinnati Bengals in terms of 801 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 3: a team that we lost to that we should have 802 00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,160 Speaker 3: beaten because that was a game that we had under control. 803 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 4: The Houston Texans. 804 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,560 Speaker 3: That loss as an anomaly, but I think it speaks 805 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 3: volumes that we were up twenty nine to ten on 806 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 3: that team. I know they were playing with a backup quarterback, 807 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 3: Davis Mills and those things, but. 808 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 4: They're still we were up twenty nine to ten on 809 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:57,200 Speaker 4: that team. 810 00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,440 Speaker 3: So there's some confidence if we have to face that 811 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,160 Speaker 3: team all over again. Yeah, But the record, the film, 812 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:05,600 Speaker 3: everything would suggest that this is a really, really good 813 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:10,080 Speaker 3: football team. And I would say our history kind of 814 00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,520 Speaker 3: has us not wanting to fully believe that this team 815 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,799 Speaker 3: is good. But all indicators are all there to say 816 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,520 Speaker 3: and no, no, this is a really good team that has 817 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 3: a chance to do some special stuff. 818 00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:25,279 Speaker 2: Bucky. Always a pleasure.
