We have a busy show 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:50.360 for you today as always. Bucking Brooks, NFL Network Analyst 0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:53.159 and John Osher, Jaguars dot Com Senior writer, join us. 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:57.760 Minshew Mania returning. Yes, he's getting the start this week 0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:04.280 against those Baltimore Ravens against plays Campbell, Unique and Gockway 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:06.920 and all the rest on the defensive side. Mens. You 0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:09.679 today said that in Gockway will be out for blood 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:12.800 in Sunday's game, and I don't doubt it either. Three 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:16.039 games to go in this season. The uniform unveiling, we'll 0:01:16.080 --> 0:01:19.119 hear from Jimmy luck head equipment manager, and we'll play 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:22.600 big game Jaguar gets you ready for Sunday's matchup in Baltimore. 0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:25.360 Buckey Brooks John osan with us, Johnny, Oh, what's up man? 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:29.720 Not a lot? Not a lot? JF here we are. 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:32.959 I kind of laughed at the at the out for 0:01:33.000 --> 0:01:35.080 blood comment, and I will get into that later as 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:39.840 we talk about this game. No doubt, Bucky. It's it's 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:42.920 going to be an interesting matchup this week seeing those 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.840 guys on the other side. Yeah, very interesting matchup. Two 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:50.840 guys will be highly motivated to take their frustrations out 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.080 on the Jacksonville Jaguars and be interesting to see how 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:56.440 they plays out. Alright, guys, let's get right into it. 0:01:56.520 --> 0:02:00.000 Let's start with the quarterback position. It's the most important position. 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:03.120 I shouldn't now when the team is one and twelve 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:06.120 and has lost twelve in a row. I don't think 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:10.040 there's anything that you can call a quarterback controversy that 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:13.400 doesn't really qualify. But mins she was getting the start again. 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.520 I played in last week's game, came in the third 0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:21.440 quarter and against some soft defenses, got some yardage, moved 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:25.040 the offense down the field a bit, but Bucky, this 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.720 is one where they've they've got to try to find 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:31.320 a spark somehow down the stretch here. So Doug Moron's 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:34.639 going back with the mustache. Yeah, this is all about 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:36.960 the coaches trying to find a way to get a win. 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:39.800 And you know, they went with Mike Lennon po a 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.800 handful of games, couldn't necessarily get it going, and it 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.600 kind of started fading on him. You started going to 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:47.560 miss you jump in the game, lead a team on 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.400 a drive for a touchdown, come back and kind of 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:51.920 move the ball. And so they want to give him 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:55.200 an opportunity. Now that's typically different. We miss you comes 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:56.920 in off the bench as opposed to when he starts 0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.639 a full game and everyone knows. So we'll see how 0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.160 you deal with this Baltimore Ravens defense that likes to 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.959 bring pressure from all angles. It had been an issue 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:06.880 for him earli in the year. Maybe he's mature, maybe 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:10.200 he's a better player against the blizz Now we'll find out, 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:15.200 John in a hurry. Well, j he said there's no controversy. 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:17.200 I'll tell you what the controversy is. Why don't they 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:20.919 have a better quarterback somewhere? So I'm not trying to 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:24.079 be snyed about it. But that's the controversy is they 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.400 don't have a guy that they feel good about starting. 0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:29.920 So I've said all week, I've gotten a lot of 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:34.000 criticism in my ozone mail bag about why doesn't Doug 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.880 make a decision? He keeps on saying this, He keeps 0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:40.760 on saying this. When you don't have a frontline guy, 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:45.960 all a coach can do is keep playing guys, hoping 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:48.560 somebody plays like a frontline guy for a game or two. 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:52.520 This week's choice is Gardner Minsheit. But it's not more 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.600 than that. That's not what That's not what. The controversy 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:59.560 is not who's starting, it's why are they in this situation? 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.800 Ifully they get solved in the off season. I'm fired up, buck, 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.920 I'm fired up. Okay, I like it. J when you 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.560 when you up, So you just keep the energy, keep 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:13.280 the inagy y'all. Sixty minutes, sixty minutes. We've got a 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:17.960 long conversation of course this offseason about that position moving ahead, 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:21.880 and of course running game is quarterback's best friend. When 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.160 things aren't going well, you can hand it off to 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.760 James Robinson. He's over one thousand yards rushing for the 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:32.200 season and closing in now on Fred Taylor's rookie franchise 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:37.400 rushing mark of twenty three yards back in. It feels 0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.240 like he's going to get close to that, if not surpassing, 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.240 very soon the next couple of weeks. You know, and 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.279 and Gardner said this week he's been great for his 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.560 fantasy team, Bucky and he's got him deep into the playoffs, 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.760 which is a good sign. But Mr consistent James Robinson 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.800 week after week and we see it every week. Yeah, 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:57.840 he's been terrific. Uh. Normally you don't think of an 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:01.560 undrafted player being the top op in the offensive game player, 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.400 but James Robinson is that. Uh you just see it. 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:08.080 I mean over scrimming jrs. He's been a terrific player 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.080 and he hasn't had the negative runs and so when 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.240 you've given him the ball, he has found the way 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:15.960 to keep his team, his offense on schedule. I think 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.080 the future is bright for James Robinson. I think they 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:21.040 may have uncovered really a great one in the undrafted 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:25.800 free agent market. Two negative runs last week, so fourteen 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:29.000 for the season now, John, And you know, that's one 0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.320 of those where it looked like the Titans last week. 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:35.040 We're going to let him get rolling early. So the 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:37.400 Jags kind of went away from him in that second 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.880 quarter a little bit. But I don't know how much 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.200 more we can say about James and has played this year. 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.880 John Well, I think they went away from it because 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.200 at some point, and I've seen this a couple of 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:51.160 times this year, you've always say, run James Robinson, run 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:55.040 James Robinson. Well, if the defense is completely stacked against 0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.880 the running back, it's hard to just beat your head 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:01.039 against the wall every play if you look, if you 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:04.160 analyze what the other teams doing, and you continue to 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.040 run something that's not gonna work. And that's negligent on 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.400 the part of the coaching staff. So I think they 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.240 saw in the first half. Look, they are trying to 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:13.520 do anything can to stop this guy. We've got to 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:17.039 go another route. Even if logic tells you to James 0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:19.640 Robinson's their best player, you still have to be able 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:21.720 to come off that. That's gonna be Gardner's challenge the 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:24.320 rest of the season as long as he plays too often. 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.479 In the first seven games, he really couldn't get the 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:31.440 defense back with his throws. Everything was bunched up the 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.440 check downs made everything happen within ten or twelve yards 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.400 for James Robinson be success for the last three games, 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.320 They've got to keep pushing that defense back with throws. 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:42.600 We haven't really seen that out of Gardener, but I 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.480 think that's the storyline against the Ravens for the Jaguars 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:50.320 offense on Sunday. All right, let's get into this Ravens 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:55.400 defense here, guys, it's Patrick Queen leads the way in tackles. 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.720 They don't quite have. They brought in cock Way in 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.640 the trade, but he hasn't really done a lot statistically 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.039 with the Ravens. Had Kellias Campbell has been is just 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:07.680 a veteran player trying to fight through some things. Buckey, 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:12.440 what stands out the most about this Ravens defense. I 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:17.680 think the aggressiveness, the physicality, and maybe the multiplicity of 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.640 what they do Underwing Martin deal. This is a team 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:22.760 that wants to heat you up. About two of the 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.440 time they bring pressure and then they follow it up 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:29.040 with what they simulated pressures where it ends up being 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:31.640 a four man rushed with seven in the coverage. But 0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:34.880 they bring so many different people from so many different angles. 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:39.040 They really tests the awareness and the acumen of the quarterback. 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.560 And so I think the blitz and bluff strategy that 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.520 the Ravens will employ against Gardener Minshew is gonna be 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:47.520 a difficult one because they get home early and they 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:49.840 hit him a couple of times. He could begin to 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:52.520 see goals because you just don't know where the guys 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:57.040 are coming from and how many are coming. Yeah, it 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.960 is going to be quite a challenge this week. It's 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.200 challenge every week. We know this, We've said this on 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:05.640 this program before, but with with that kind of defensive 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:11.000 set up john challenge for Minshow. Yeah, the Ravens to 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:14.800 me feel like a team that they're not a super 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.000 Bowl favorite this year. I talked to Clifton Brown, who 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:21.120 covers them in my role. Uh, they're not a favorite 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:25.320 going in, but with a couple of tweaks, with a 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.400 couple of things, they're a group that could still do it. 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:30.040 There's a group of teams that could still do it. 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.680 One of the tweaks they have to make is getting 0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:37.080 their run defense right. They're used to being able to 0:08:37.080 --> 0:08:39.440 stop the run and that's the and they rely on that. 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:42.400 They assume they can stop the run. Most year they 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:44.920 haven't been able to do that this year. They're very talented, 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:47.200 as Bucky said, but that's been a little bit of 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.319 a blind spot form that they haven't able to fix. 0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:52.080 If they fix that, then all of a sudden they're 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.079 back to last year where they're one of the favorites 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:57.680 going in. I you know, I don't want to be 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:02.360 Joe pessimist, um, but to me, overall, this feels like 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:06.280 a tough matchup. The only hope the Jaguars have is 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:10.160 that the Ravens run defense, which has struggled somehow, can't 0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:13.880 figure out James Robinson and he's able to control clock. 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:16.880 They're able to keep that off the field. Maybe that 0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.880 sets Minshew up for some place. That's the hope, and 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:22.720 that's okay, because James Robinson is a good hope. But 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:24.840 you just get the idea that is one dimensional as 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.120 the Jaguars offense fields. The Ravens are good enough defensively 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:32.880 to stop one dimension. All right, let's get a little 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:37.200 deeper into the former jag talk here, Klaas Campbell and 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:41.080 Unique and got Way Andrew Normal is going to excuse 0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:44.120 me practice this week, and Dug Baron seemed pretty positive 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:45.800 that he'll be able to play on Sunday, it's a 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:50.160 good sign in the interior there. Um Well, Kalia said 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:53.080 about a three sack game a while back, like Week 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:55.559 six of the season, but hasn't done a lot of 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:58.600 statistically since then. Bucky, what kind of season has Klaias 0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.680 had in Baltimore. Well, there's been a little up and down. 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:03.880 I think some of us to transition into a new defense. 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:06.000 Some of that has been dealing with injuries and the like. 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.080 But I think this team is positioned to really lean 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.079 on him as they make the dash for the cash, 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:14.000 meaning they make their run for the postseason. If this 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:17.200 team gets into the postseason, because they can play a 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:20.240 style that is really different and unique, they can be 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:23.480 a handful. The offense speaks for herself with Lamar Jackson 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:26.800 that controls running around like a madman. But defensively because 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:30.720 of the combination of pressure, the personnel that they've had, 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.560 and then the experience because they played in a number 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.800 of big games, this is a team that I watch 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:40.120 out for all right, and then Unink and got Qua 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.840 John we mentioned at the top. He Gardner mentioned thinks 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.040 he's going to be out for blood this week, but 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:51.160 so far in Baltimore, seven tackles, one sack, two quarterback hits, 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:56.200 or Uniken got way of former Jaguar's third round pick. Yeah, 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.240 very quickly. I'll touch on Calais real quick. I have 0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:03.960 a thought on that. He the Ravens got him for 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:07.680 what's coming up, not what's in the rear view. You 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:09.280 had to know when you're going after a guy like 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:13.440 Calais at his age, he probably wasn't going to give 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.880 you nineteen games, which is what the Ravens want to play. 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:20.199 Because of his age. That's the reason the Jaguars let 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:23.840 him go. Last year, he had a three set game 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:27.599 against Tennessee, didn't really do that much the rest of 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:31.360 the year. Similar situation for the Ravens this year. But 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:33.960 if he plays well the last six games they hope, 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:37.640 then it's a great trade for the Ravens. As far 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:41.480 as Unique, you know, he's a baffling story in a 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:45.240 lot of ways. He gets traded to the Vikings. They 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.520 trade him five weeks later, feel like the run defense 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.960 got better after that. Unique is not playing a whole 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.280 lot because of sort of what the knock on him. 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.199 Was not a great run player, just a pass rusher, 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.680 having trouble getting on the field. So I guess he'll 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.360 be out for blood. I hope for his sake that 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:05.080 he gets on the field throughout his career and has 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:09.600 a great career, but right now, not the impact player 0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:13.040 the Ravens had hoped for. But that's what he is. 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.959 He's a great pass rusher and not a great run defender. 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:19.520 But yeah, when I think about Joannick, I think of 0:12:19.600 --> 0:12:22.800 him as kind of a complimentary pass rusher, meaning because 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:24.480 you have someone in place and he is on the 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.520 back side, kind of eating off of their leftovers. When 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:30.400 I look at whether they have in in Baltimore, they 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:32.800 certainly have those pieces in place for him to be 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:34.760 able to do so. But it's a matter of him 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:38.240 getting really, really comfortable in Wink Mortondale scheme. So he 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:40.760 may not be an A plus player, but he's certainly 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.560 a nice B plus with with with a bullet he 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:45.760 can be a guy that can take over games and 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.520 create chaos. If you don't have the guys on the 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:52.200 edges that can handle this speed, well, just keep running 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.439 the ball and stay in those favorable situations down in 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:59.880 distance and see if they can take advantage of that 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:02.560 against the Ravens this week. Hey, let's come back. I 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.840 guess what the Ravens can run the football too. On offense, 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:10.720 We'll get into their offensive scheme and Lamar Jackson's play 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:14.960 this year and how the Jaguars defense matches up.

Heading again into week fifteen, 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:44.320 the Jags and the Ravens coming up. The Jaguars had 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:48.440 some link breaking transactions just a few minutes ago. Well, 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.360 the other day they placed Ben Bartch the left guard 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:55.520 on the reserve COVID nineteen list. Well, they've now added 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:59.240 another player to the reserve COVID nineteen list. Cornerback Trey 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:02.480 Herndon has been added. Randon Lender has been placed on 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.760 injured reserve with that ankle injury, so it sounds like 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:10.280 he's done. So Herndon's and Bart's two players now john 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:13.720 on the COVID nineteen list. And I think that's the 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:17.880 most impact the starting group has had this year on 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:21.400 the list. Yeah, it feels like I'm trying to remember 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:24.360 the rest of the Uh, it may have been a 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:28.120 practice squad deal before that. Um, what you hope is 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:32.400 it's not more, you know, one today, one yesterday. You 0:16:32.440 --> 0:16:34.760 hope that's the extent of it. You can probably get 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:40.280 through what they've had so far. Herndon certainly a loss, uh, 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:44.600 but it's it's what teams have been dealing with, and 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:46.760 I think a lot of teams would say, well, welcome 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.880 to the club, especially the raven who dealt with as 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:54.400 much as anybody. Right, the Ravens were no Bucky because 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.720 they just went through this recently. Yeah, they would, and 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.720 they're gonna be then that will be very ampathetic to 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:03.920 the Jaguars play if they have a handful of guys 0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:07.480 they have to sit out because of contract, contact tracing 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:10.400 or anything like that. And so this is a situation 0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:12.600 where all year coaches have had to be adaptable, They've 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.360 had to be flexible, They've had to prepare the practice 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:19.120 squad guys more now than ever, and so hopefully they 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:21.520 have put practices in place where they give those guys 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.160 enough rest where they can be comfortable. But it's one 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.440 of those things where we've seen any stranger things happen 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:28.280 this year, and you have to be ready to have 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:30.000 you back us play and play a prominent role in 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:34.000 the game. All right. So there you have it. Two 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:36.800 players now from the Jaguars in the reserve COVID nineteen 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:39.280 list Ben Bartch the other day and then just now 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:42.119 Tray Herndon Jaguars cornerback placed Downe there as well. We'll 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:45.160 keep you posted on any other changes there. Let's get 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:49.679 to the Baltimore Ravens offense against this Jaguars defense. You 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:52.359 know we were always talking about being gaps sound and 0:17:53.040 --> 0:17:56.560 being in the right place on defense. Well, certainly the 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.280 case this week when you have Lamar and Jackson, who 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.960 can pull it out of running backs belly and run 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:05.199 on his own for seventy yards in a touchdown. This 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:08.480 guy is the m v P of the league of 0:18:08.480 --> 0:18:13.560 course a year ago. And Bucky, I mean they're starting 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:16.480 to roll with him. And you know there was some 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:18.159 in the middle of the season he wasn't throwing the 0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:20.199 ball exceptionally well, there was a lot of talk out 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:22.640 of Baltimore, but that seems to avoided a little bit 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:26.080 since they're starting to get back in the race. You know, 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:29.439 the Baltimore Ravens are I mean, they're an explosive offense. 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:32.119 They're explosive in a in a different light. When John 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.800 Harbor made the change to this offensive style, he said, 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:37.720 we want to be the Army of the NFL. And 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:39.240 so if you look at army games, there's a lot 0:18:39.280 --> 0:18:41.800 of grounded pound, I mean all grounded pound and that's 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:44.360 where the Ravens, when they're doing that, that's when they're 0:18:44.400 --> 0:18:47.200 at their best. Lamar Jackson running the ball, they're giving 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:49.440 it to three or four running backs in the backfield. 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:52.280 They're coming down here with these power gap schemes and 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:56.160 mr directions and it puts your defenders at the front 0:18:56.200 --> 0:18:59.320 line in a bind. And so the Jaguars have to 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:01.320 think about one. They got a mess of physicality and 0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:04.320 toughness too. They have to be gap sound and really 0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:07.919 understand where they're supposed to be in terms of the 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:10.800 overall feth of the defense. And Three, you've gotta be 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.359 able to tackle and tackle the number eight in space 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:15.840 has been a challenge for everyone in the league his 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:18.919 first three seasons. We'll see if the Jaguars up to 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:22.639 the challenge. Yeah, John, he can light you up in 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:26.879 a hurry. Well, and you can be as gap sound 0:19:26.920 --> 0:19:29.800 as you want against this guy, and he can make 0:19:29.840 --> 0:19:32.640 you miss in a gap and go. So that's that's 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:36.240 what makes him special. I I I knew he would 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:38.080 run for a lot of yards. I kind of re 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:44.719 looked it up. Uh last year that's staggering for a quarterback. Uh. 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:49.639 This offense is different. The flaw in it obviously, as 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:53.359 if it falls behind, meaning the Ravens, it can be 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:56.480 difficult for it to catch up if it gets in 0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:59.280 that sort of a game. Can the Jaguars make him 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:04.880 fall behind? Uh? They the cynics out there, Bucky, it's 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:06.840 at one and twelve. But have you say probably not? 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:11.840 I mean they can so, I think. I think here's 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:13.480 the thing that you have to understand when you're dealing 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:17.119 with the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson is 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:18.639 at his best. We can talk about him being a 0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:21.280 dynamic runner. They basically are running the single wing. They 0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:22.720 want to put it in his hands as a runner 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:25.800 ten to twelve times and allow him to impact and 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:28.880 influence the defense because when they begin to chase him, 0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:31.639 that's when they handed off to mark Ingram. Because Edwards J. K. 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:34.600 Dobbinsn't have a lot of success in the passing game, 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:37.080 it is really important for the Jaguars to jam the 0:20:37.080 --> 0:20:40.200 middle of the field. Lamar Jackson is at his best 0:20:40.240 --> 0:20:42.800 throwing inside the numbers. If you can force him to 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:45.800 throw the ball to the boundary outside and down the field, 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:48.640 he struggles in that area. Going all the way back 0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:52.320 to Louisville. That has been his achilles uh tendon, and 0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:54.800 so that's been his Achilles hills. So you have to 0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:57.720 play them in a specific way because the Jaguars play 0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:00.000 a single hot defense that could work in their favorite 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:02.600 But now it's about can you execute the game plan 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:04.840 because they don't know what to do, but can they 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:06.920 get it done? That is what todd Watch has to 0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:11.320 figure out. Edwards and Dobbins have been getting a lot 0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:14.239 of the running back play, and Ingram, I think has 0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:16.359 been banged up a little bit this year. Bucky, what's 0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:19.560 his story? You know, here's the thing with Mark Ingram. 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:22.119 J K. Dobbins is by far their most talented and 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:24.720 most explosive runner, but they still want to do it 0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:27.560 by committee because Ingram brings some value as it's kind 0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:29.440 of what I call it, kind of like the trash 0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:31.000 can run of the garbage running. He gets all the 0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:33.560 dirty yards, does all the stuff in between the tackles, 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:36.159 but he doesn't have the explosive potential of some of 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:38.720 the other guys, but he still has value. And so 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:41.480 when I look at this team and I look at him, 0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:45.399 he plays a key role. But they're better when J. K. 0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:48.560 Dobbins and Gus Edwards are handling the bulk of the carries, 0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:55.919
