No, I had on a Jaguars thing last week. 41 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 2: No, he's I don't think you did. 42 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 5: Nowtors here and put the Jaguars in. 43 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 6: I did. 44 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 4: I had on some Jaguars up last time. I mean 45 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 4: I were for three years Award all the time. We're 46 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 4: getting that head beat in. 47 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 6: So I'm like, all right, I'm trying to bring it back. 48 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 2: Okay, not a bandwagon guy, Bucky. 49 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 5: Here's how big this game is that there's not even 50 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 5: anything about Week eighteen in the rundown. 51 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 2: Nope, doesn't matter. Okay, Well, it's all the review. 52 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 6: It's all the review. 53 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 3: It's a new season now, John, this is the next 54 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 3: next level of football, and we're going to dig in, 55 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 3: certainly into this matchup all the way through it. The 56 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 3: Jaguars in the three seed, of course, in the AFC Playoffs, 57 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 3: hosting the sixth seed Bills. JAG's back of the playoffs 58 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 3: first time since twenty twenty two, their fifth division title 59 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 3: in franchise history. Bill's making their seventh straight playoff appearance. 60 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 3: They've been knocked out of the playoffs by the Kansas 61 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 3: City Chiefs. Talking to some people in Buffalo to day, 62 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 3: I was on one of their shows. I mean they 63 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 3: feel like since Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are out 64 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 3: of this thing, they at least feel from there it's like, oh, 65 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 3: this is now the opportunity. The road is wide open, 66 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 3: Josh Allen, because the Chiefs have knocked him out for 67 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 3: the last five years in the playoffs. 68 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's wide open for them. I would say 69 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 5: it's wide open for everybody. I mean, so I understand 70 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 5: how they feel that way, and maybe it is that 71 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 5: way for him, But you know, I don't know that 72 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 5: I really consider Buffalo Bucky the favorite going into the postseason, 73 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 5: and I know they're favorite in this game, but I 74 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 5: kind of like what Belichick said about it. You know, 75 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 5: the Bills maybe have an edge at the end of 76 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 5: games because of their playoff experience, but you got to 77 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 5: get to the end of those games. I doubt anybody 78 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 5: inside the Buffalo organization is sort of assuming that this 79 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 5: is their shot. I don't think they've had that kind 80 00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 5: of year to feel that way, although they're really really good. 81 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 4: I mean, you know, look, here's my thing with Buffalo, 82 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 4: and I've seen this and I've heard this, and I've 83 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 4: tried not to be annoyed by the conversation everyone has 84 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 4: talked about this being the Bill's year. 85 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 6: The path is open for Josh Allen. 86 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 4: Josh Allen has a tremendous amount of pressure on him 87 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 4: because no Pat Mahomes, no Joe Burrow, no Lamar Jackson. 88 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 4: He is viewed as the best quarterback in the field, 89 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 4: and the best quarterback should be able to roll through 90 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 4: the playoff field and make it happen. I will say 91 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 4: that of all the teams that he's come through the 92 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 4: postseason with, this is probably the team that is the 93 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 4: least talented when it comes to the number of blue 94 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 4: chip players that he has around him and how they're playing. 95 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 6: That's it. They play really good team football. 96 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 4: They have always been a team where the team probably 97 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 4: makes up for more than the sum of its individual parts. 98 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 4: But one the fact that they're favored, to the fact 99 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 4: that people kind of expect them to walk over the Jacks. 100 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 4: It's a bit laughable, even though I remember how badly 101 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 4: they issued a beat down on us last last year 102 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 4: on a Monday night when. 103 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 6: We had the venture up there and they absolutely tourist part. 104 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 5: Yeah, somebody asked me in the ozone about that game, 105 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 5: and you know, I don't know that. There's a whole 106 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 5: lot of different So what's the difference in that game. 107 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 5: What's the difference in this Bill's team from that team? 108 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 7: Probably not much. 109 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 5: I mean, they have Josh Allen, But the difference between 110 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 5: this Jaguars team and that team and it was. It 111 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 5: was a thirty seven point game. I'd say this Jaguars 112 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 5: team is thirty seven points better than that Jaguars team. 113 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 5: I mean, especially the one that showed up that night, 114 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 5: and that was a fiasco. I think Liam Cohen's uh 115 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 5: comment on Monday, when asked if a look at that game, 116 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 5: he goes, no, No, I mean it's it so has 117 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 5: nothing to do with this team. Uh. But yes, Josh 118 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 5: Allen is the best quarterback in the playoffs going and 119 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,559 Speaker 5: the most experienced quarterback. That's a statement that should be made. 120 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 5: But I'm telling you, Bucky, the fact that it's not 121 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,559 Speaker 5: a given and the fact that I'm anxious to see 122 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 5: if he's the best quarterback. 123 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 7: In this game. 124 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 5: Is enough to make me think the Jaguars might go 125 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 5: to the super Bowl. Meaning I don't know that after 126 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 5: this playoffs if it's going to be a guarantee that 127 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 5: he's the best quarterback in the playoffs, because I think 128 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 5: Trevor's accelerating that quickly. 129 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think he is accelerating that quickly. I am. 130 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 6: I am with you, and I've said this. 131 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 4: I think I'm records saying that I feel like the 132 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 4: Jacks are going to the Bowl, But I'm trying not 133 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 4: to look too far in advance. 134 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 6: I will say this about last year's game, and one of. 135 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 4: The things that you have to be careful of as 136 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 4: a player, particularly if you're a player for the Buffalo Bills, 137 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 4: because of the way that the Buffalo Bills beat down 138 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 4: the Jaguars on that Monday Night. You can get seduced 139 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 4: into thinking that, yeah, it's the same old Jags. We 140 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 4: know who this team is like, same players, same quarterback. 141 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 6: YadA, YadA, YadA, YadA, and you. 142 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 4: Can build up a level of overconfidence that allows you 143 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 4: to fall into this shock and awe when it takes 144 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 4: place on Sunday against a very different version of the Jags. 145 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 4: But I think they will be a very confident team 146 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 4: coming down, and I think some of that confidence will 147 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 4: come from that Monday night mascret that they experienced when 148 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 4: they just absolutely beat us from pillar to post. 149 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you hear the Jaguars. 150 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 5: You hope they feel that way that the Bills do 151 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 5: the Jags. You hope the Bills feel that way. 152 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 3: But I mean clearly though, you turn on the tape 153 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 3: of this Jags team, which they will do and thoroughly, 154 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 3: you will find out fast that this is not. 155 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 5: The same, but sometimes is an element of when a 156 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 5: team's done at the first time and you still sort 157 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 5: of feel it from some national stuff and all that 158 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 5: of hey, they just got here, and when you just 159 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 5: get here, you can't possibly be as good as the 160 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 5: team that's been here a bunch. 161 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, well see, yeah there is JP. I know, like 162 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 6: you're like, nah, but they look at the tape whatever. 163 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 4: But JP, there's a bit of this arrogance that you 164 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 4: can have, and I will break it down the terms 165 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 4: that you can explain it. It was very much like 166 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 4: the conversation last week when Indiana was playing Alabama, and 167 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 4: even though your eyes could tell you that Indiana is good, 168 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 4: all the Alabama people are like, oh, we go experience. 169 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, then here we've done it. 170 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 4: And until you get into that game, you don't have 171 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 4: the right appreciation of the right mentality against the team. 172 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 4: I think Sean McDermott and listening to his pressers this week, 173 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 4: he understands how good it is, but I can't he 174 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 4: get his team to understand it when all the noise 175 00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 4: around him in the town is like, hey, this is 176 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 4: Josh Allen's coordination to be a Super Bowl champion. It 177 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 4: can be hard to keep the locker room insulated from 178 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 4: that kind of conversation on the outside. 179 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 5: Very very interesting, and I hadn't really thought about that 180 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 5: angle that much. And I think it's because again, it's 181 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 5: the postseason, and I've looked at this postseason for a 182 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 5: couple of weeks as New England, Denver, Jacksonville, Buffalo, even 183 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 5: Los Angeles, you know Chargers, even I've had people say, 184 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 5: do you think the Daggars would be ready? You know, 185 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 5: are they're ready for the moment? 186 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. 187 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 5: I think they're ready for the moment, and they'll play well. 188 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 5: I don't know if they'll win because Buffalo is really 189 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 5: good and Josh Allen's really scary. Denver's really good. But 190 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 5: for the last five or six weeks ever since they 191 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 5: started playing, if you watch the Jaguars, there's zero question 192 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 5: they belong in the conversation. I personally think if if 193 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 5: you look at objectively, take uniforms off, whatever, they're the 194 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 5: best team going into the playoffs. You know Denver, and 195 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 5: I mean they beat Denver. The Patriots and the Bills 196 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 5: have not played the schedule that the Jaguars have, So 197 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 5: if you look at it with how Trevor's playing. With 198 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 5: the way the Javers have been beating teams down the stretch, 199 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 5: they deserve to be in that conversation. I think gonna 200 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 5: pay for there, the favorite. They have to prove that. 201 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 2: All right, let's dark back. 202 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,559 Speaker 6: Yeah, they gotta gotta prove it. 203 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 2: Gotta go prove it. You gotta goss why they play 204 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 2: the games. That's why I play the games exactly. And 205 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 2: we're gonna get into the game when we come back. 206 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 3: We'll take a closer look at the Buffalo Bills the 207 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 3: number sixteed coming into town for the AFC Wild Card 208 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 3: playoff game. 209 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 6: If you want. 210 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 3: Customized Jack's furniture for your home, check out zipchare dot 211 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 3: com and browse all customizable options zip Chair furniture for fans, 212 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 3: It's huddle up with Bucky Brooks. 213 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,559 Speaker 8: The ultimate strain is what it is, right, because you're 214 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 8: you're dual three. You have to defend the run in 215 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 8: the past every time the ball is snapped right. It's 216 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 8: not as if you can just tee off on a 217 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 8: guy like that, knowing man really can't really move, you know, 218 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,839 Speaker 8: so you can just go play to man or go 219 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 8: do these things. You have to your rush plan has 220 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 8: to be extremely dialed in. Your spy game has to 221 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 8: be dialed in if you're going to do any of 222 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 8: that stuff. Your zone coverage has got to make sure 223 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 8: that you're giving eyes obviously on the quarterback. 224 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 6: At all times. 225 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,599 Speaker 8: And look, when you have to account for the quarterback 226 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 8: every play, you know, we have it a luxury of 227 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 8: that as well. In ways where quarterback can take off 228 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 8: on you. It's it's hard to defend every blade of grass. 229 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 3: Liam Cohen, Jaguars head coach. Earlier today full press conference 230 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,959 Speaker 3: at Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube. Welcome back, Cuddle 231 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 3: up with Bucky Brooks talking about Josh Allen. 232 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, the quarterback for the Buffalo Bills. 233 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 3: Fantastic season again, a bunch of rusting touchdowns, the highest 234 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 3: rushing yards total of any quarterback in the league this year, 235 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 3: and about thirty six hundred yards passing and can do 236 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 3: it all. And when he turns it on, it is 237 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 3: a real problem. We're going to dig into the Bills 238 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 3: here coming up. We'll take a look a deeper look 239 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 3: at the Jaguars defensive matchup. But Bucky, Josh Allen, when 240 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 3: he flips that switch and does things like this, he 241 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 3: can change the game in a hurry. 242 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely can change the game. Man. 243 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 4: He's one of those guys we talked about quarterbacks being 244 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 4: in two categories, trucks and trailers. He is an absolute 245 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 4: truck because he can put the team in the back 246 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 4: and he can carry them as far as they. 247 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 6: Want to go. 248 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 5: I've never heard that before. Oh, at this point, you're 249 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 5: just making stuff. 250 00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 2: Oh wow, I'm. 251 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 6: Sorry, I'm sorry. So quarterbacks come in two categories. 252 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 4: They come in trucks where the quarterback carries the team, 253 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 4: or their trailers where the team carries the quarterback. And 254 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 4: Josh Allen is a truck because he's carrying this team. 255 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 4: When you look at the rest of the pieces around him, 256 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 4: there are only two other blue chip players on that offense, 257 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 4: and that is James Cook and Eon Darwkins. The rest 258 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 4: of the guys are good, but this is Josh Allen 259 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 4: and company getting it done. And so if you want 260 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 4: to call it Gladys Knight and the Pips, so whatever 261 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 4: you want to call it, it's the Josh Allen show. 262 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 6: He is the one that makes it go. 263 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 4: And everyone has to understand that you have to stop 264 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 4: seventeen and you have to stop Seventeen in these situations 265 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 4: because this is when he's prone to run. 266 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 6: He's prone to run, and gotta have his situations. 267 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 4: Third down, tight red zone meaning ten yards and end 268 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 4: he's going to take off from run it two minute 269 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 4: situations where they where it's critical and they need it. 270 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 4: Those are the things where you have to look for 271 00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 4: seventeen to run. Otherwise it's about him pushing the ball 272 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 4: down the fiel and trying to make him force the 273 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,599 Speaker 4: ball into tight windows. 274 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,239 Speaker 6: Because he will throw it in the tight coverage. 275 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 4: You got to be there, but you got to be 276 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 4: aware in those gotta have it moments seventeen will take 277 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 4: off from run Bucky. 278 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 5: You watch more of the Bills than I do? Is 279 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 5: you watch more the league than I do? And Josh 280 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 5: Allen to me is the biggest X factor left in 281 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 5: the playoffs. 282 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 6: But is. 283 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 5: The way the Jaguars play defensively, meaning playing zone a 284 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 5: lot watching him and the fact that they in my opinion, 285 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 5: I think the dbs on this team and linebackers are 286 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 5: very good tacklers and very very aggressive, tactic, very aware tacklers. 287 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 5: Not every cornerback I've ever covered fits that category, but 288 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 5: these guys do. 289 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 7: And they're a. 290 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 5: Very team oriented defense. This defense really doesn't depend on 291 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 5: one pass rusher to be dominant. They've been a team 292 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 5: and play all together. 293 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 7: Do those things. 294 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 5: Bode well for them or give them a better chance 295 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 5: than some teams to slow a player like Josh Allen? 296 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 6: Ap. 297 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 4: I think a few things that work well for the 298 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 4: Jaguars in this matchup is what you said is a 299 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 4: team friendly scheme. It's a zone based scheme where they 300 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 4: will keep their eyes on. I think all that is 301 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 4: really important because you don't want to play Manda man 302 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 4: a Ton against Josh Allen because when he breaks contained, look, 303 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 4: everyone has their eyes on their respective matchups, and that 304 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 4: leaves to explosive games for him when you have zone. 305 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 4: If he breaks, guys can rally and tackle and kind 306 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 4: of minimize the games that he has. But I think 307 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 4: it's important to understand Anthony Kapinilli and his background and 308 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 4: who he's been around, some of the influence from Vic Fangio, 309 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 4: having been around when Vic was around in Miami, and 310 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 4: all that other stuff. 311 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 6: Remember this when you look at the tape. 312 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 4: A couple of weeks ago, the Philadelphia Eagles held the 313 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills to either thirteen or twelve points. Vic Fangiol 314 00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 4: was the defensive coordinated. There are a lot of things 315 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 4: that the Jaguars can utilize to replicate that. Now, we 316 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 4: don't necessarily have a Jalen Carter, but we do have 317 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 4: a Trayvon Walker that can pop inside in key moments. 318 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 4: We do have an Armstead who can come inside and 319 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 4: create some disruption. I think you'll see some elements of 320 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 4: that game plan show up in this game plan that 321 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 4: the Jags use. Because the Jaguars are funny, because they're 322 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 4: a bit of a chameleon in terms of what they 323 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 4: utilize on defense. One week they can be heavy man, 324 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 4: the next week they can be zoned. They'll change their look. 325 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 4: To me, I think they want to keep an umbrella 326 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 4: over top of the perimeter coverage. They'll let them move 327 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 4: the vault in between the twenties, and then they'll really 328 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 4: focus on locking them down in the rezone to make 329 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 4: them kick field goals. Look for those game plans to 330 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 4: be very very similar the way the Philadelphia Eagles kind 331 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 4: of throttle the Buffalo Bills. Look for the Jaguars to 332 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 4: use a lot of that in their game plan this week. 333 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 3: Coming up in just a little bit we'll get the 334 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 3: defensive coverage of the game and the plan to slow 335 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 3: down James Cook in the running game. 336 00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 2: That's coming up in just a few minutes. 337 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 3: Let's slip it around on the other side now, and 338 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 3: the Jaguars offense against this Bill's defense. Where can you 339 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 3: attack this group, Bucky, if you're Trevor Lawrence, Liam Cohen, 340 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 3: Grant Yedinsky. 341 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 4: So you may not have heard the conversation, Sean McDermott 342 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 4: was lamenting the loss of Maxwell harriston one of their dbs. 343 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 4: He was hurt in the last game. He's unavailable. They 344 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,719 Speaker 4: try to get some veteran players to come through. Those 345 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 4: guys haven't come through, so they're down. They're short on cornerbacks, 346 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 4: and where this team needs to be attacked is one. 347 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 6: They're very vulnerable against the run. 348 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 4: They've had problems against the room where people have gone 349 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,919 Speaker 4: at them, and so you want to make sure that 350 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 4: you run at them as much as you can, and 351 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 4: you may have a lot of success. 352 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 6: But also in finding ways. 353 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 4: To throw the ball, you certainly can have some opportunities 354 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 4: in these one on one matchups. 355 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 6: Now, the Buffalo Bills want to play zone. 356 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 4: They want to keep in front their team that is 357 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 4: well constructed, but they've had issues throughout the year in 358 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 4: terms of making sure they marry up the coverage with 359 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 4: the front and that's the I think the Jaguar's best 360 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,679 Speaker 4: course of action is to do what they've done the 361 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 4: last eight nine weeks. Does let Trevor do what he does, 362 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,479 Speaker 4: try and run the football, get the ball to all 363 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 4: the weapons, and allow the collective unit to overwhelm the 364 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 4: Buffalo Bills as compared to like, oh, I want to 365 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 4: make sure I get disperson in that person involved. I 366 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 4: think they just run their offense, and I think their 367 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 4: offense is good enough to give the Buffalo Bills problem. 368 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree. It seems that the two biggest keys 369 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 5: could be you don't want to have a start like 370 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 5: you did in Denver, where you don't really move for 371 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,959 Speaker 5: the first couple because Josh Allen, you know, it can 372 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 5: turn into one of those games we've seen this kid play, 373 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 5: meaning Josh Allen, where you got to keep up, and 374 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 5: that's a possibility with him. I think j Ywards defense 375 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 5: can negate that. But you could be in one of 376 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 5: those and all of a sudden you're behind on Serve 377 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 5: and you're trying to get back in it. I also think, 378 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,760 Speaker 5: really the Jaguars have talked so often for ten weeks 379 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,160 Speaker 5: about it's about us when I worry about the other team, 380 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 5: and I think in this game that has a lot 381 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 5: of merit. In the last eight weeks, the Jaguars have 382 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 5: won six of the games by fourteen points. The only 383 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 5: two exceptions are when they turned the ball over inside 384 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 5: the ten against teams in Arizona and against the Colts. 385 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 5: That's a stunning stat in terms of how well this 386 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 5: offense has given this team leads margins. I think the 387 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 5: Jaguars at the point now where if they don't beat 388 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 5: themselves offensively, they're really hard to get off the field. 389 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 5: And you know, Indianapolis think about that. If you don't 390 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 5: have the two red zone turnovers, that's not a six 391 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 5: point games will blowout Arizona the same way. Really, they 392 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 5: gave one away and I'm not meaning to go back 393 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 5: over that, but when I found that this week, it's 394 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 5: sort of clarified to me of how well this offense 395 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 5: is playing. Played well against Denver, which was arguing one 396 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 5: of the best two or three defense. If the Jaguars 397 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 5: play their game. 398 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 7: Not every team in the league can keep. 399 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 5: Up with Josh Allen when he's on If the Jaguars 400 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 5: are playing their game, they can keep up and they 401 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 5: can maybe even stay ahead. 402 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 7: And they've shown that. 403 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 5: I'm not, you know, banging the table bragging on this team, 404 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,959 Speaker 5: but that's what they've shown for the last nine weeks 405 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 5: or eight weeks. 406 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 6: You know. 407 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 4: It's funny, John like a lot of that, right because 408 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 4: all the conversation. Because the stakes are high, people will 409 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 4: expect the Jaguars to need to get out of pocket 410 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 4: and to do different things. And honestly, it's not about 411 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 4: them being any different. It's about them just playing the 412 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 4: way that they played. I don't think they have to 413 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 4: raise the standards. They don't have to play better than 414 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 4: they played. They just need to play at the level 415 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,960 Speaker 4: that they've played at the last few weeks. And I 416 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 4: think what everyone needs to understand, and I think twenty 417 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,919 Speaker 4: twenty two is going to be a great point of 418 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,360 Speaker 4: reference for this team. 419 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 6: The game is long, and no. 420 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 4: Matter what it looks like early, there's always opportunities to 421 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 4: get back in the game. And so from an emotional standpoint, 422 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 4: because it's been a menu since we've seen Trevor make mistakes, 423 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 4: we've been in minicince. We've seen the offense sputter or whatever. 424 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 4: Noa's your panic. You have to remember it's a four 425 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 4: quarter game and in the playoffs there's gonna be a 426 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 4: bit of a feeling out period. We just need to 427 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 4: make sure that we stay true to ourselves. If we 428 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 4: don't turn the ball over, and if we just play 429 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 4: the way that we're playing, running the ball, throwing it 430 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 4: to all the weapons, being efficient and effective, man, we're 431 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 4: more than good enough to beat the team. And in fact, 432 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 4: I'm saying this because I would be shocked if we 433 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 4: don't beat them. To me, when you look it up, however, 434 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 4: you look up roster comparisons, feeling evaluations, we're the better team. 435 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 6: We just need to play. If we play, we'll beat them. Yeah. 436 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 5: To me, the reason people don't see that is because 437 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 5: of the bills very very impressive recent history. It is 438 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 5: there seventh straight playoffs, and because Josh Allen again in 439 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 5: saying all this, Josh Allen to me is one of 440 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 5: my favorite two three players in the league. I love 441 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 5: watching the guy play. He is a walk in Hall 442 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 5: of Famer, as good as any quarterback in the last 443 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 5: twenty five years. To me, I think the thing that 444 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 5: could be a factor that people aren't looking at is 445 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:23,119 Speaker 5: the fact that the Bills have tons of playoff experience. 446 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 5: But it's not like the Jaguars don't have those elements. 447 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 5: I meaning, fourteen of these guys were here together in 448 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,640 Speaker 5: twenty two, and I think what Bucky's talking about could 449 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 5: very well play into it if they get down. For example, 450 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 5: Trevor Lawrence and Travis DTN and Trayvon Walker and Jines 451 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 5: Allen on the sideline going we were down twenty seven 452 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 5: three years ago, and so I don't think you know, 453 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 5: there's a perception that this is sort of an out 454 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 5: of nowhere team, and it is this year. But this 455 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 5: core guys they went through losing five of six at 456 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 5: the end of of twenty three. They went through coming 457 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 5: from out of nowhere five times. Wasn't just that LA game, 458 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 5: it was every game. 459 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 7: So they've. 460 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 5: They have more experience and their teeth are longer than 461 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 5: the league things. 462 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 2: That's right. 463 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 3: And there's some of the free agent guys they brought 464 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 3: in that playoff experience too. It's not like I think 465 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 3: it's about thirteen of those guys. Yeah, So I mean 466 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 3: that is more than you would anticipate going into a game. 467 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 6: Yes, so. 468 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 7: I'm looking forward to all right, I think we all are. 469 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 2: We're back in a moment. 470 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 3: We'll get to the defensive coverage of the game, and 471 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 3: Bucket's gonna tell us how to stop James Cook, Bill's 472 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 3: running back, the rushing champion this year in the National 473 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 3: Football League. It's huddled up with Bucky Brooks. 474 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:56,399 Speaker 8: Slippery, elusive, smooth, is just that has a great feel 475 00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,160 Speaker 8: for mid zone, you know, for the zone game, and 476 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 8: you know the press combinations, and then just like he 477 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 8: has such a great feel and then duo like if 478 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,199 Speaker 8: you collapse at all, he's so he's fast enough to 479 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:13,719 Speaker 8: bounce it and go one on one with a corner 480 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 8: that's got to crack the place, and he's fast enough 481 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 8: to run around the edge and make that guy miss. 482 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 8: And the run against the Browns that that has been 483 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 8: all over the place and it was ridiculous. They had 484 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 8: two guys unblocked in the hole and he just makes 485 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 8: them both miss and he's off to the races. 486 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 3: Great sound effect from Liam Cohen there, James Cook, the 487 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 3: you're running back of the Bills forth your player out 488 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 3: of Georgia, second round pick back in twenty twenty two, 489 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,439 Speaker 3: welcome back. It is huddle up with Bucky Brooks, JP Shadwick, 490 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 3: John Oser, and Jacksonville. Bucky Brooks out in Los Angeles. 491 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 3: James Cook, the rushing champion in the National Football League. 492 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 5: Johnn But is he a truck or a trailer. I'm 493 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 5: trying to figure out if he's a. 494 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 3: Trailer because if the quarterback the truck, you can't have 495 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 3: two trucks with one two trucks. 496 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,399 Speaker 5: I don't know. Help me out, Bucky. I still have 497 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 5: my son's matchbox cars at home. Maybe I need do 498 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 5: I need to set up and figure this out? 499 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 4: Well, I think if you have your son's match perst cards, 500 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 4: go and see if you can find. 501 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 6: The eighteen wheeler, okay, because that's what it is. It's 502 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 6: a big trailer. Now, it's a big trailer that's behind 503 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 6: Josh Allen. But James Cook is legit. 504 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 4: James Cook sixteen hundred plus yards, a guy who can 505 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 4: take a distance from any one in the field can 506 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 4: also catch the ball out the backfield. 507 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 6: He is terrific. 508 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 4: And the combination of Josh Allen James Cook gives people 509 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 4: problems because if you're look focused on James Cook the runner, 510 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 4: then what you do is you succeptable to Josh Allen 511 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 4: coming out the back door on some of the read 512 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 4: option things and those tactics. If you are too consumed 513 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 4: with Josh Allen and slowing down the passing game, then 514 00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 4: you have these light boxes that are being eaten up 515 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 4: by the run game that the Buffalo Bills present. 516 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 6: Here's what I will tell you. The Bills are gonna 517 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 6: run twelve personnel, they have tight ends on the field. 518 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 6: They're gonna try and run it. 519 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 4: They want to set up some play action shots tore 520 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,640 Speaker 4: wide receivers. Number one priority is you got to stop 521 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 4: this running game. You cannot allow the Buffalo Bills to 522 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 4: run the football. Because if I'm the Bills coming in, 523 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 4: I understand what the challenge is. They want to protect 524 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 4: their defense. That means a very slow and deliberate approach 525 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 4: on offense, Shrink the game, limb the opportunities that the 526 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 4: Jaguars have on offense. And so you want to use 527 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 4: James Cook as your best defender by giving him the 528 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 4: ball twenty five to thirty times and allowing him to 529 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 4: dictate the terms. 530 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a very telling for people to watch this 531 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 5: show and watch Liam. It's very telling to me that 532 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 5: he talked in such detail and such praise of Cook 533 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 5: because Liam really really understands how to run a run offense, 534 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 5: like he's exceptional at planning, that he knows the intricacies 535 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 5: of it. He is praised that coaching staff and this 536 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 5: for that, so he understand how good James Cook is 537 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 5: at finding holes, at being a smart runner within the offense. 538 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 5: To me, I expect the Bills to run better than 539 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 5: any team has run on the Jaguars this year. They 540 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 5: haven't given up a seventy five yard rusher. It would 541 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 5: not surprise me if he exceeds that. To me, Bucky, 542 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 5: the key is, you know, I like talking about football 543 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 5: in this situation because you sort of talk the same 544 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 5: way I do. I think they'll have a couple of 545 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 5: drives where they get it. I think they'll have a 546 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 5: couple of drives where you're like, oh uh oh, because 547 00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 5: they're that good. To me, the key is, limit those 548 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 5: kind of drives to one or two, and you know, 549 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 5: maybe start the first time, maybe start the second when 550 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 5: they adjust, but get them out of that. How they 551 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 5: adjust to those moments when this great running team gets theirs, 552 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 5: to me, will be the key on Sunday. 553 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, they have to be able to adapt an adjustin 554 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 4: I will say probably the best part of Anthony Campanilli 555 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 4: and the defensive staff is their ability to make adjustments 556 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 4: in game, whether that is at halftime, whether that's the 557 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 4: middle of the second quarter. 558 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 6: They do a really good job of. 559 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 4: Figuring out what the other team is doing early, making 560 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 4: adjustments and eliminating the things that are given them issues. 561 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 4: Liam talked about the run game, and it's interesting for 562 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,880 Speaker 4: him to talk about duo, which is power without pullers, 563 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 4: meaning you're not pulling the backside guard, you're double teaming 564 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 4: everyone on the front side, and how they basically just 565 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 4: collapse everything down and they allow James Cook to find 566 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,440 Speaker 4: a hole. That is going to test the discipline and 567 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 4: the attention to detail of the defense. 568 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 6: Everyone has to understand their responsibilities. 569 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,479 Speaker 4: The guys who are double team have to understand how 570 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 4: to fight through the double teams. 571 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 6: The right way. 572 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 4: So it has to be a collective effort from everyone 573 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 4: to make sure that they understand the assignments and the 574 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 4: alignments and what they're trying to get done. But it 575 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 4: comes down to tackling, and it comes down to being 576 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 4: able to tackle on the perimeter. It comes down to 577 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 4: the guys being able to get them down. He has 578 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 4: a little Houdini in his game in terms of making 579 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:03,360 Speaker 4: people miss. 580 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 6: So you got to get enough bodies around them. But 581 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 6: if you can win on early. 582 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 4: Downs and force this team into obvious passing downs where 583 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 4: you can lock up and put your hands on the 584 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 4: receivers and get around the receivers, then becomes more difficult 585 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 4: for this offense to maneuver. 586 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 7: Yeah, that to me is the whole thing. 587 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 6: I think. 588 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 7: If they hold Cook to hunder one hundred, they. 589 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:22,880 Speaker 2: Went, oh yeah, absolutely, I mean. 590 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 5: And that's more than they've given up to anybody. Sure, 591 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 5: but they're so dependent on it when you watch them. 592 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 5: To me, it's a different kind of runner, but philosophic game. Ever, 593 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 5: when the Titans had Derrick Henry and you could be 594 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,520 Speaker 5: up on them, but they were still going to run. 595 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 5: Like being up on a lot of teams takes the runaway, 596 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 5: it's over against the Bills. The Bills are so good 597 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 5: at it that that strains the defense too, because just 598 00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 5: because you get them in a situation where most teams 599 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 5: wouldn't run, you still have to honor their run. 600 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 2: So this is. 601 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 5: The biggest test this very very very good Jaguars run 602 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 5: defense has had this year. 603 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 3: Let's take a look at the defensive coverage of the game, 604 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 3: presented by g E Government Employees Health Association Benefits for 605 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 3: Federal employees and retirees. 606 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 2: We take a look at the Jaguars. 607 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 3: Defensive rankings in the regular season against the Bills offense. Jags, 608 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 3: of course number one against the run. Bill's number one 609 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:25,520 Speaker 3: rushing offense. That'll be the primary focus of many this week. 610 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 3: Bill's really good on third down this year, the red zone. 611 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 3: Of course, the Jaguars number two in the league in takeaways, 612 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 3: thirty one of them in the regular season. Should be 613 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 3: a fantastic matchup in the AFC wild Card playoff game. 614 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 3: Or return in just a moment and take a look 615 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 3: at the playoff bracket and get our final thoughts in 616 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 3: before the Bills Jaguars matchup the six to three game 617 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 3: and the AFC playoffs coming up this Sunday.

This should be a fantastic weekend of football. 651 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 3: What about the first round wild card games? Outside of 652 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 3: the Jaguars games, which game were you most excited to see? 653 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 6: There're so many to talk about. 654 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 4: I think when you look at the Texans and the 655 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 4: Pittsburgh Steelers, I'm just curious to see which version of 656 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 4: the Steelers shows up. Is a version that played Sunday? 657 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 4: Is the version that we hadn't seen from Aaron Rodgers. 658 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 4: That defense is a lockdown defense in terms of Houston, 659 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 4: so that is interesting. I want to see the Chargers 660 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 4: take on the team. Did they prefer to play the 661 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,520 Speaker 4: deal the Patriots? They feel like they matched up well 662 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 4: against them. So how did the Patriots come out as 663 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 4: a young team. People don't anticipate them being able to 664 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 4: make a run because they had this inexperience and they 665 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:23,920 Speaker 4: played a quote unquote. 666 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 6: Softer schedule so that that works. 667 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 4: And you know, the Denver Broncos have been doing a 668 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 4: lot of chatting about wanting to payback the team that 669 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 4: went on the road and beat them at their place. 670 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 6: So I'm just curious to see. 671 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 4: Who they line up with and what their path to 672 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 4: the Super Bowl sixty looks like. 673 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 6: Given all the conversation they add, they look mouthy. A 674 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 6: bunch of. 675 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 7: Mouthy yeah to me, But yeah, I think we talked 676 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 7: about it. 677 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 6: To me, the. 678 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 7: Scary team is the Texans. 679 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 5: Because I mean, maybe the Steelers play better than they 680 00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:06,959 Speaker 5: have all year, but I think I Houston's defense. The 681 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 5: two ends seem to me to be one. Every team 682 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 5: has its strength. That's one of the stronger, more difficult 683 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 5: elements to stop in the playoffs, regardless of conference, regardless 684 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 5: of division. 685 00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 7: Where they they are. 686 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,399 Speaker 5: Always every time I watch them, they are always all 687 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 5: over the opposing quarterback, and that can bother every team 688 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 5: in the playoffs, matter what the matchup is. 689 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 7: But I'm with you, Bucky. 690 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 5: I a matchup sometime this offseason with the Broncos would 691 00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 5: be a fun week. Let's just see if they get there. 692 00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,759 Speaker 6: I mean very fun week because they are what they 693 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:45,360 Speaker 6: are tall. 694 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,359 Speaker 7: They apparently didn't lose the game amazingly. 695 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 4: Evidently evidently now. But I'm trying to stay I'm gonna 696 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 4: stay where. 697 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 6: My cleats are, gonna get too far ahead of it. 698 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 4: Look, man, I'm really excited about this because the way 699 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 4: this run is shaping up, in the way the field 700 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 4: is shaping up, it is right there for the Jacks. 701 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,439 Speaker 4: And we've done a really good job of staying week 702 00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 4: to week as a team and not getting too far 703 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 4: ahead of it. But when you look at this team 704 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 4: and the way they're trending and the way they're playing it, 705 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 4: more importantly, the status of their players, like the health 706 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 4: is really good. In terms of this team having most 707 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,000 Speaker 4: of their weapons available to play on both sides of 708 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 4: the ball, I anticipate us playing really well. And it's 709 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 4: a hardened team. It's a team that has played a 710 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 4: very difficult schedule. There is no one that they will 711 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 4: face in the postseason that is more challenging than the 712 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 4: teams that they've played and beaten during the regular season. 713 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,960 Speaker 4: This team is well prepared, and as long as we 714 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:43,959 Speaker 4: don't get out of pocket and become overly emotional because 715 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 4: of the game and the circumstance, I expect us to 716 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 4: play well in front of our home fans, and I'm 717 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 4: looking forward to it being look a fun Sunday and 718 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,440 Speaker 4: a Sunday that gives us a chance to get to 719 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 4: the next weekend. 720 00:35:56,239 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's an interesting dynamic, JP, and you and I 721 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 5: have covered this is the third playoff team we've covered here. Correct, 722 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 5: Jay Wars also made the playoffs in five and seven, 723 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,320 Speaker 5: but this is the first time out of those five 724 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 5: and again I separated because I covered them in the 725 00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 5: nineties when they were sort of the favorite at times. 726 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:23,880 Speaker 5: They've never gone in as prepared, as battle tested, whatever 727 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:28,800 Speaker 5: you know, as hot with eight games every year before, 728 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,399 Speaker 5: there was always the in twenty two, did you really 729 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:33,840 Speaker 5: think they were going to get past the Chiefs? 730 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 7: You hoped in seventeen? 731 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,400 Speaker 5: You know, Brady's there, and even when they went up 732 00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 5: to Pittsburgh, they had to upset, you know, they had 733 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,520 Speaker 5: to kind of beat the team punching up five and 734 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 5: seven they lost for Patriots, you know, and I'm not 735 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:53,479 Speaker 5: saying they're the favorite going in, but even you know, Bucky, 736 00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 5: you can talk about some more than I can. Players 737 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 5: have to have that core of belief. You hope you 738 00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,879 Speaker 5: can win, you believe you can win. This team sort 739 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 5: of goes in thinking there's no reason we shouldn't win. Yeah, 740 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 5: and they got to prove that. But that's a different element. 741 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,400 Speaker 5: Plus they had the respect card of we're going to 742 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 5: prove to everybody that were right. It's an interesting team 743 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 5: that it's a playoffs you gotta win it, but I 744 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 5: think they can. 745 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, And just a quick reference on those two years, 746 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 3: number seventeen, Blake Warls got hot in December. 747 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:25,760 Speaker 2: The defense was maniacal. 748 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,799 Speaker 3: Those guys are crazy, right, I mean, they were great 749 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 3: all year long, but the offense kind of caught up 750 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 3: and they had to rally and win the thing, right, 751 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:32,959 Speaker 3: and got in. 752 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:34,319 Speaker 2: Twenty two, same thing. 753 00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,799 Speaker 3: They're trailing in games, defense makes plays, they're coming back 754 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 3: fourth quarter. 755 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 2: They were always behind the eight ball and just finding away. 756 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 3: And of course the playoff game happened with the four 757 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,040 Speaker 3: picks and all that, and they rallied to win. But 758 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,839 Speaker 3: you're right, I mean there was always that you feel 759 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 3: like there was one bigger team, always out there. 760 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 2: Ahead of them those playoff runs. 761 00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 6: Bucky. 762 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, there's not a boogieyman out there. There's not a 763 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,880 Speaker 4: team that you can look up, particularly in the AFC, 764 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 4: and say, oh my gosh, man, we don't want to 765 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,279 Speaker 4: play that team, or this team is noticeably better than 766 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,799 Speaker 4: everyone else. What you can say is when you look 767 00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,479 Speaker 4: at the playoff field, all seven teams have a ward 768 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,160 Speaker 4: that they have to overcome. They have a fatal flaw 769 00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,319 Speaker 4: that can prevent them from being able to get to 770 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 4: the Super Bowl. Of all the teams, I would say 771 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 4: the Jags are the most ballant when it comes to 772 00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 4: being able to minimize their glaring weaknesses. And I would 773 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,320 Speaker 4: say the outside perception of the team is they're waiting 774 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:27,479 Speaker 4: for the clock to strike midnight on number sixteen. There's 775 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:31,800 Speaker 4: this feel that he is Cinderella and at some point 776 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 4: he's going to have to get back into pumpkin carriage 777 00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:35,360 Speaker 4: and go back. 778 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,359 Speaker 6: Where he came from. But I just don't see that. 779 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 4: And I think it's great that he has an opportunity 780 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 4: to match up against Josh Allen because Trevor Lawrence is 781 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 4: eerily similar to Josh Allen in terms of some of 782 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,799 Speaker 4: the things that He's showing that he can do this year. 783 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 4: He's a touchdown short of joining an elusive club where 784 00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,360 Speaker 4: Josh Allen has been in it twice. 785 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 6: Lamar Jackson, Can Newton. 786 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 4: Twenty five touchdowns, ten twenty five pass touchdowns, ten rushing touchdowns. 787 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence is right there knocking on the door thirty 788 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,799 Speaker 4: eight touchdowns responsible for He has that, and. 789 00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,960 Speaker 6: So I'm just excited that the football world is going 790 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,640 Speaker 6: to get a chance to see that Sunday in the bank. 791 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 4: The only thing that would have made it better is 792 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,839 Speaker 4: would have been a nighttime game, so the energy would 793 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 4: be a little different, but it should be an electric 794 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:24,760 Speaker 4: atmosphere on Sunday anyway. 795 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:31,319 Speaker 5: Yeah, A, there's no bad playoff spote. But let these 796 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,319 Speaker 5: guys believe they were dissed with the one o'clock game. 797 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 7: That's great. And I. 798 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 5: Don't know what will happen Sunday, but I put the 799 00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:45,600 Speaker 5: pumpkin carriage away. I don't think there's gonna be any 800 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,439 Speaker 5: calls put in the garage to put him like I don't. 801 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:52,239 Speaker 5: Maybe there'll be a three pick game Someboday. Again, I'm 802 00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:52,880 Speaker 5: sure there will be. 803 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 2: They probably will. 804 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 7: I use this. 805 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 5: Analogy all the time on a Sunday night game. I 806 00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:00,920 Speaker 5: once to watch Peyton six picks. Those games are gonna happen, 807 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 5: but there's a lot of picks. They almost won the game. 808 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,040 Speaker 7: And but. 809 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,839 Speaker 5: He also was the m v P two years later 810 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,239 Speaker 5: and not three years later. So point being, you're gonna 811 00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:19,120 Speaker 5: have games like this. I don't think you're gonna resort. 812 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,279 Speaker 5: I don't think you're ever gonna have Trevor Lawrence in 813 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,239 Speaker 5: his career where people are wondering if he's good or not. 814 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,000 Speaker 2: It's good, it's a good step. That's and now you've 815 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 2: got to go win and playoff games. 816 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:31,719 Speaker 6: John, you're ready to lock this thing?
