We'll get to that coming up. The Jags 12 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 2: defense setting the tone for this group so far in 13 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. They played nearly ninety plays last Thursday 14 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 2: night in the Super Dome. Big AFC implications this week, 15 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 2: of course, and Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks is brought 16 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 2: to you by Field's Auto Group Jacksonville, Step up to 17 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 2: Luxury Fields autot Well. The Jaguars are headed to Pittsburgh 18 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 2: for the first time since the AFC Divisional playoff game. 19 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 2: After the twenty seventeen season. That was the jaguars last 20 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 2: trip to Pittsburgh. Bucky, it has been a while the 21 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 2: Jags have had success there, need to have some more 22 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 2: starting this week. 23 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 3: What's up? 24 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 4: What's up? 25 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 5: Man? 26 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 4: It's big week. 27 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,320 Speaker 6: Pittsburgh Week is another measuring stick game for the Jaguars, 28 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 6: not necessarily in terms of the talent of the Stillers, 29 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 6: but more so the physicality. Can you step up and 30 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 6: play bully ball against the team that is known for 31 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 6: being the biggest bullies on the block. 32 00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 7: Yeah, and when you're trying to do what the Jaguars 33 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 7: A're trying to do, which is, you know, clearly win 34 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 7: the division and be one of quote those teams. These 35 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 7: are the kind of games you win at mid season 36 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 7: that sets you up for having eleven and four, I 37 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 7: mean eleven four, eleven and six, twelve and five type records. 38 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 7: You know, as Evan Ingram said in the Lock just now, 39 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 7: you know you're not scoreboard watching at this time of year. 40 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 7: But at five and two, this is the kind of 41 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 7: game where you start to sort of separate yourself. You 42 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 7: win these and let the chips fall with the may 43 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 7: with the other guys, and all of a sudden, you're 44 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 7: you have a record at the end of the year 45 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 7: that you like, and to me, this is a game 46 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 7: you ought to win. I'm not saying that Steelers aren't good, 47 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 7: but I think you're better. But you got to go 48 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 7: up there and play a team that doesn't believe you're 49 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 7: better than they are. So it's gonna be tough. 50 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: Now you win a game like this, they've already got 51 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 2: one in their pocket against Buffalo as well. You have 52 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 2: this Pittsburgh game, then all of a sudden, your record 53 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 2: is what it is, but you have the tiebreaker games 54 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 2: when it matters late. 55 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 7: Remember last year, you know they beat the Ravens that 56 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 7: come back well at the end of the season, all 57 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 7: of a sudden, when you started looking at the Ravens stuff, 58 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 7: they didn't matter as much when you were trying to 59 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 7: figure out your playoff scenarios because you had beaten them. 60 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 7: So these little games that I'm not sure the Steelers 61 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 7: are gonna win the North. I think the Ravens probably are, 62 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 7: but they're gonna be right in there. And you know, 63 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 7: you like having those games that you've beaten the other team. 64 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 7: You have to worry about them as much. Look at Buffalo, 65 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 7: right now your two games up on them. 66 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how it works, Bucky. You get these wins now, 67 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 2: and then hey, come playoff time. 68 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 3: It can be a big one. 69 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, it can be a big one because you're always 70 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 6: trying to stack these wins up in the middle of 71 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 6: the year. But you also are trying to put yourself 72 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 6: in a position where maybe you can backdoor into the 73 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 6: number one seed. You don't want to think that far ahead, 74 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 6: but these games are critical to being able to do that. 75 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 6: Because we're going to assume that the Jaguar's gonna keep 76 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 6: playing well and they're gonna win the division. Well, now 77 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 6: it's a race to see if you can kind. 78 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 4: Of supplant Kansas City as a number. 79 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 6: One overall seed. You get the number one overall seed, 80 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 6: it's two games and go to the super Bowl. But 81 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 6: before you can even think like that, you gotta win 82 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 6: some of these evenly contested games, so you can begin 83 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 6: to think about that the last four or five games 84 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 6: down the stretch. 85 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 7: What if you're gonna be the best team in the 86 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 7: AFC or one of the best, you have to knock 87 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 7: other teams out of that spot, if that makes any sense. 88 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 7: The Steelers, I think, are still sort of trying to 89 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 7: figure out who they are. 90 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 3: They've had. 91 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 7: A couple of one sided losses, but they've had some 92 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 7: like tight wins. It's maybe time for the Jaguars show 93 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 7: the Steelers, hey we're good and you're just okay. They 94 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 7: haven't lost in the road this year, Jayson haven't lost 95 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 7: away from here. They're a team that handles that well. 96 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 7: So I think it's a game they ought to go win, 97 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 7: but it's not a game that I think they'll go 98 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 7: win easily. 99 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 2: If we know anything about this Jaguars team right now, 100 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 2: we know they are a resilient group. Considering what they 101 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 2: did in the last four games, four wins, nineteen days, 102 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 2: four stadiums, three cities. 103 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 3: We know all that. 104 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 2: But now the trick Bucky is flipping that around. There's 105 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 2: only one game in what the next twenty something game 106 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 2: days and balancing the momentum that they have a little 107 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 2: bit going with getting guys rested and then back and 108 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: ready for the stretch run. That's from one extreme to 109 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 2: the other. 110 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 4: It is from one extream to the other. 111 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 6: But if you ask Doug Peterson and coaching staff, they 112 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 6: would rather have it this way. Nenative through that tough 113 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 6: stretch they would rather be able to rest, recover, but 114 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 6: more importantly refined, refine. 115 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 4: The things that they're doing. The bye week will give 116 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 4: you an opportunity to do that. 117 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 6: You talk you about having twenty days, that's a ton 118 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 6: of practices that you can get in and work on 119 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 6: the things that have really been troubling the offense, to 120 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 6: defense and the special teams. To this point, it's a 121 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 6: great opportunity for the team to get better because they 122 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 6: have more time on the practice field without having to 123 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 6: worry about playing a game. Once they get past it's 124 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 6: Stiller's game, this is an opportunity for them to get 125 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 6: a lot better going down the stretch. 126 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's such a funny league to analyze because they 127 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 7: put themselves in great shape. Five and two. We're really 128 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 7: win or lose this game this weekend. You are in 129 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 7: good shape going into the buy. But boy, aren't you 130 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 7: in better shape and feeling so much better about yourself? 131 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 7: You win four straight and then you drop this one 132 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 7: all of a sudden. That buy isn't nearly as as 133 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 7: fun for players. So it's it's such a week to 134 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 7: week league that, yeah, you gotta go get this one. 135 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 7: Getting this one, you feel great going five. You know, 136 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 7: it's a rare thing. Five straight wins, five differt stadiums 137 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 7: going into a bye Boy, do you feel good? 138 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 3: But buck if you. 139 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 4: Don't, Yeah, but I mean like that. That's the thing. 140 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 6: I think the most important thing is at the midway point, 141 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 6: you want to still be in the rate. Yeah, a 142 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 6: five hundred record, a little over five hundred record. You 143 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 6: need to start having real playoff aspirations. If you are 144 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 6: well ahead of the curve, you have six. 145 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 4: And two man, then you begin to kind. 146 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 6: Of raise your sights, raise your standards in terms of 147 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 6: what you're looking at from the playoff pitcher. The Jaguars 148 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 6: have a tough back end of the schedule in terms 149 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 6: of the amount of competitors and contenders that are on 150 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 6: the schedule, and so a game like this Pittsburgh young 151 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 6: quarterback team that's kind of scuffling and trying to find 152 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 6: their way offensively, this. 153 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 4: Is one that if the Jaguars, you gotta win this one. 154 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 6: This is one to push you well ahead at the pace. 155 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 6: Gives an opportunity to think big, big, big dreams. 156 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 2: Let's hear from head coach Doug Peterson, speaking with the 157 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 2: media today, asked if he is well is this where 158 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 2: they expected to be after a handful of games this year? 159 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 8: Quite honestly, you expect to be in this situation. You know, 160 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 8: we can still play better. I think there's a lot 161 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 8: left out on the field each weekend that we can 162 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 8: we can learn from and improve, especially the back half 163 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 8: of the season. And you know, it's it's it's a 164 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 8: credit to the players though, you know, and we've had 165 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 8: our share of injury, and guys have stepped up and 166 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 8: have played well in in backup situations. And you know, 167 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 8: we're just anticipating some of our guys, whether it's this 168 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 8: week or after the bye, getting healthy and getting get 169 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 8: back on the field. But you know, your expect your 170 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 8: expectation is to win every game, obviously, and we haven't. 171 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 8: But pleased with where we are right now. 172 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 2: And they've had some moving parts, certainly on the offensive side, 173 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 2: John and the injury front the last few weeks, Say 174 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 2: Jones has I think finished one game this year. He 175 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 2: was playing in two others and left those and missed Forest. 176 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's a lot of moving parts there. 177 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 2: Then the offensive line, we know the rotation there. What's 178 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 2: the latest with Walker Little and say Jones? What the 179 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 2: head coach say today. 180 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 7: Well what he said was sort of very vague. What 181 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 7: happened was Zay Jones did not practice. Everybody else. When 182 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 7: I say everybody else, Tyson, Campbell and Cisco with hamstrings, 183 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 7: Trevor Lawrence with the knee, Walker Little, and Brandon Sheriff 184 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 7: with knee and ankor respectively, everybody else was limited. 185 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 3: With Devon Hamilton. 186 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 7: As he was last week with the back, practicing full, 187 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 7: but with situation coming back. I don't know what full 188 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 7: means in terms of his status. 189 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 3: Ye have to act. Yeah, So. 190 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 7: To me, that would lead me to be surprised if 191 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 7: they plays on Sunday. You would think, if it's still 192 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 7: dicey enough to not practice, you give them one more 193 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 7: week and then you have a long stretch where you 194 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 7: can rest them. That's just me speculating on how things 195 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 7: usually go. Beyond that, I expect those limited guys to play. 196 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 2: That makes sense to me, Bucky, right, I mean, if 197 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: there's any question at all, just give it another two 198 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,119 Speaker 2: weeks and get back for San Francisco. 199 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 4: Absolutely, And that's the way that you have to think. 200 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 6: You got to have a big picture focused, and so 201 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 6: the big picture should tell you, hey, let's make sure 202 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 6: that we do what we need to do to make 203 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 6: sure that our best players are. 204 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 4: Available down to stretch as much as we can. 205 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 6: So if you're looking at Zay Jones and you're saying, Okay, 206 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 6: we have the Pittsburgh game here, but we got. 207 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 4: A bi week after that, three. 208 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 6: Weeks to really come fully back, and maybe we don't 209 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 6: have to do this on again off again things, So 210 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 6: that has to be in consideration. It was one of 211 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 6: the things that I worried about last week with Trevor Lawrence. 212 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,599 Speaker 6: Do you play him on a short week or do 213 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 6: you kind of rest him so he can come back 214 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:04,840 Speaker 6: and play a four week against the Steelers. 215 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 4: Uh? 216 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 6: It worked out. I think this is one you want 217 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 6: to air on us out of caution when you're looking 218 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 6: at day Jones and whether he plays or not. 219 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, cause you get I mean it. 220 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 7: I thought they would play Trevor last week, and I 221 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 7: thought they should. The whole thing was fine. Uh, but 222 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 7: Zay really is He left Kansas City, came back and 223 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 7: played okay against I mean, played really well when he 224 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 7: played against but Philip, but then left. So you don't 225 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 7: want to take a chance on that. Being as Bucky said, 226 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 7: the pattern. Uh, you get him back healthy and add 227 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 7: him into a healthy mix. To me, that's the one 228 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 7: thing that all these all the people who are concerned 229 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 7: about the Jaguars offense and called it sporadic. That's the 230 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 7: biggest X factor that can fix that to me is 231 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 7: having him back in. 232 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 3: Uh. Just alwing to Christian Kirk in the locker room. 233 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 7: Today, Zay gives you two or three big third downs 234 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 7: a game. Those third down conversions not only give you 235 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 7: first downs, it usually gives you the ball for another 236 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 7: two or three minutes. It gives you field position, maybe 237 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 7: you're going from the thirty to the forty five and 238 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 7: then you're punting different stuff like that changes the perspective 239 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 7: of a. 240 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 2: Game defense as well. 241 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, they've really missed Zay's trust with Trevor. That instinctiveness 242 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 7: that you saw really developed at the end of last 243 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 7: season with Zay and Trevor. 244 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 3: Uh. 245 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 7: I think you sort of rest him this week and 246 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 7: then get him back and have all four guys meaning Ridley, Kirk, uh. 247 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 3: Ingram and z for the stretch run. 248 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,559 Speaker 7: I think it could be a dramatically different offense with 249 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 7: him back in Bucky. 250 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, it can be a different offense with him 251 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 6: back in the mix. This is interesting because when you're 252 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 6: on the field, like game day, you never really understand what, 253 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 6: say Jones's value is beyond catching the passes and those things. 254 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 4: But a couple of weeks ago, he caught a. 255 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 6: Timeout because they were a line in an illegal formation 256 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 6: and he had to wherewithal to know as third and four, 257 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 6: if we take this penalty, it's gonna really put us 258 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 6: in a bad situation. 259 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 4: Let's take the time out. 260 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 6: He does a lot of self correcting on the field, 261 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 6: getting now himself, but the group right in terms of 262 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 6: who's on and off the line of scrimmage, who's in 263 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 6: certain personnel packages, who's running what on certain concepts where 264 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 6: they're moving people around. He is a very valuable piece 265 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 6: to the puzzle, even though the numbers can never actually 266 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 6: reflect how big his impact is on this offense. 267 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 2: Bootleggers, Get ready.

I'm all in, not enough plenty more. 276 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 2: Look like a look at the Pittsburgh Steelers when we 277 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 2: come back. It's huddled up with Bucky Brooks. 278 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 8: It is number one. 279 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 2: It is. 280 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 8: They usually pride themselves a lot on running the football, 281 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 8: and that's kind of the the basis, you know, for 282 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 8: for what they try to do. I mean, the running 283 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 8: game is it's a little bit, a little bit of 284 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 8: timing up front, missing some combination blocks. They've they've had different, 285 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 8: you know, different guys in there from time to time. 286 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 8: But you know, it's something that you got to continue 287 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 8: to work. 288 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 3: I mean, when it. 289 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 8: Hits, it's it hits, and it hits, it hits big, 290 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 8: you know, and and notes the things that you have 291 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 8: to really kind of guard yourself against defensively and and 292 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 8: do a good job just you know, like our defense 293 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 8: has done the last couple of weeks, said. 294 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,839 Speaker 2: Coach Jack Peterson from earlier today. Welcome back, it's huddled 295 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 2: up with Bucky Brooks. It's Wednesday, Week eighth. The Jaguars 296 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 2: and the Steelers coming up at Akrasure Stadium at the Confluence. 297 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 2: And that's coming up Sunday one o'clock kickoff time, and 298 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 2: you can catch all the press conferences, both the Peterson 299 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,719 Speaker 2: and Trevor Lawrence available on the Jaguars YouTube page at 300 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 2: the moment and soon on Jaguars dot com. Let's start 301 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 2: with you know, I asked a few guys in the 302 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 2: locker room a minute ago, John, you know what what's 303 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 2: up with the Steelers statistically all this? And to a 304 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 2: man pretty much, they said, you other four and two. 305 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 2: I mean, it's not like they're you know what they're 306 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 2: gonna be. They're gonna be physical and it's an offense 307 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 2: as well. Bucky. It's you know, they may not have 308 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 2: the big, flashy numbers, but they still have some guys. 309 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 2: Are getting a wide receiver back this week and had 310 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 2: him last week I think too. But they've got running 311 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 2: back skill if they can break him loose. He hasn't 312 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 2: done it yet, but he can and can he pick 313 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 2: it an up and coming quarterback? 314 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 3: Bucky. 315 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a really good team. I mean the 316 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 4: record is what the record is. Where they're a good 317 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 4: team because they know how to win. It's not always pretty. 318 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 6: It's a little bit of a kind of a grimy 319 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 6: style that they employ. But when Mike Tomlin is a 320 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 6: head coach, they find a way to win. I mean, 321 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 6: these guys have never had a losing seasons throughout his 322 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 6: tenure with the Steelers. They do different things. Some weeks 323 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 6: it's the defense. 324 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 4: Sometimes it's a special team. 325 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 6: Other times the offense coming up with time and playmaking 326 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 6: when they've been stagnant the entire game. This is a 327 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 6: game that will test the focus and the physicality of 328 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 6: the Jaguars. Can you physically match them down after down 329 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 6: in the trenches and then your focus, can you focus 330 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 6: and finish the game when you have an opportunity to 331 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 6: knock them out. They thrive on people that are unable 332 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 6: to put them away. You let them hang around in the. 333 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 4: Fourth quarter, then one of their players, one of their blue. 334 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 6: Chip players, makes a play that shifts the balance of 335 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 6: the game. 336 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 4: This has to be a game with the Jaguars lock in. 337 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 4: They got to beat them up for sixty four minutes. 338 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 7: Yeah, focus is absolutely key, And as Bucky was saying that, 339 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 7: I'm thinking and it's a team that it sounds so 340 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 7: cliche to say, well, you got to protect the ball 341 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 7: to win this game, because you get to you have. 342 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 3: To protect the ball every week. 343 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 7: But this team really thrives on they need turnovers to win. 344 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 7: The Steelers they needed one to win and they only 345 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 7: had one against the Rams this last weekend, but it 346 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 7: was the one that turned a game round. They're waiting 347 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 7: for it and assuming they're going to get it because 348 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 7: they assume that their edge rushers high Smith and Water 349 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 7: are going to make a play to get them the ball. 350 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 3: You saw. I think it was against the Ravens. 351 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 7: They did that big time and against the Browns early 352 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 7: in the season where they just waited until it made 353 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 7: those plays and one games with that. 354 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 3: That's usually the way you clinch games. They win games. 355 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 7: By getting sacks, turnovers, et cetera. So I agree with Bucky, 356 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 7: they're dangerous. You need to put them away because if 357 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 7: they're in the fourth quarter, up there and close to you, 358 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 7: their experience, they don't just believe it, they have experience 359 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:05,840 Speaker 7: that tells them they can come back and beat you. 360 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, John, that's a great point. It's a great point 361 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 4: of all those. 362 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 6: Experiences giving them the confidence. And you know, we talked 363 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 6: about experience brings about a level of expertise. They know 364 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 6: how to win these games because Mike Tomlin has been 365 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 6: in these games a ton. They know Stillers football is 366 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 6: always going to be within one score. 367 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 4: It's gonna be a defensive lead team. The defense kind 368 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 4: of sputter along, but eventually they'll try and find their way. 369 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 6: For the Jaguars, it's about crushing this spirit early in 370 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 6: the game, making sure that Kenny Pickett doesn't get comfortable, 371 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 6: keeping an eye on George Pickens, making sure Deontae Johnson, 372 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 6: those guys don't get loose. And then every time the 373 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 6: Naja Harris touches the ball man it has to be 374 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 6: a concerted effort to get eleven hats to the ball. 375 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 4: You also got to sting him, beat him up. This 376 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 4: is a game where it's physicality over everything. 377 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 6: The Jaguars have had a ton of success over the 378 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 6: Stillers in the past because they have an uncanny build 379 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 6: to raise their level of intensity and physicality. When they 380 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 6: play this team, same recipe, same formula has to apply. 381 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 7: Yeah, I also maintain I mean, I'm not trying to 382 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 7: discount the Jaguars success against Steelers. 383 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 3: They've been a. 384 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 7: Little fortunate in that they've played them a lot when 385 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 7: they've been good. If it makes any sense, seven twenty 386 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 7: seventeen happened to be years where the Jaguars were good, 387 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 7: and then they played them a lot in that mid 388 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 7: two thousands when the Jaggars were again. That's not taken 389 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 7: it away from it, because the Jaguars ability to play 390 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 7: this team well has been remarkable because even when you're good, 391 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 7: you don't always beat this Steelers team, so they do. 392 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 7: If there's a franchise like the Bills a little bit. 393 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 7: The Jaguars are a little bit in their head because 394 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 7: they've beaten them in some big, big games. 395 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 3: The Steelers a little bit too. 396 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 7: The Steelers know that the Jaguars come in there and 397 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 7: play well, so that I thought it had something to 398 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 7: do with seventeen when they were playing well. 399 00:18:59,080 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 3: The fact that the. 400 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 7: That the Jaguars thought this is a place where we 401 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 7: go do well, So that discounting it. But guess what, 402 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 7: Jpjagars are good now, so I expect him to go. 403 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 3: The Jaguars is a franchise. 404 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 7: Don't get worried about playing in three rivers or Acrosure 405 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 7: or Heinz Field or you know, Helman's mayonnaise whatever up there, 406 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 7: whatever the names. They don't get worried about playing up 407 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 7: there doesn't mean they win, but they don't have the 408 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 7: ara doesn't bother. 409 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 3: That, so they've won. 410 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 2: Going back to nineteen ninety nine, there have been nine 411 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 2: trips for the Jaguars to Pittsburgh, including two playoff games, 412 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 2: and the Jaguars have won seven of those games. 413 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 7: And it's remarkable because when I you know, I jokingly 414 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 7: about the Steelers there are and their ability up there 415 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 7: is real. 416 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 4: I mean. 417 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 7: When I covered with the Colts, I don't think they 418 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 7: went there and won during that span, didn't play very often, 419 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 7: but it's a real difficult place to play. 420 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 3: Did Jaguars historically handle it remarkably well and I expect 421 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:05,719 Speaker 3: them to do on Sunday. 422 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, it is a tough place to play. They have 423 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 4: the terrible hotel. I was waving. Uh, you see them 424 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 4: kind of get charge up. 425 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 6: That's why, very early in the game, you gotta find 426 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 6: a way to neutralize TJ. Why can't let TJ wh 427 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 6: start making the play because if he gets it going, 428 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 6: it kind of gets this this feeding frenzy of a 429 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 6: crowd love it up, and then it becomes a problem. 430 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 4: When it comes to the offense. 431 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 6: Early in the game, first quarter, I can imagine Doug 432 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 6: Peterson really being on the offense. 433 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 4: We need to play from him front. First quarter has 434 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 4: to be fast. 435 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 6: Look for a couple of explosive opportunities, and that's scripted. 436 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 6: First fifteen play segment. Want to jump up on them 437 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 6: seven to ten. Oh, make them have to chase the point, 438 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 6: made them have to get out of the style they before. 439 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 7: Well, that's really jp how they won in seventeen up 440 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 7: there in the playoffs, no doubt, got up early and 441 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 7: they had to chase the whole game. 442 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 3: So the chase, right, It's always. 443 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 7: Good to be up early, no doubt, but especially against 444 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 7: this team. 445 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 3: As Bucky said with TJ. 446 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 7: Watt, you want to be up so that you're controlling 447 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 7: and you're in places you want to be. 448 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 2: One final point to your thought earlier, John, you know 449 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 2: those wins over the last nine visits up to Pittsburgh 450 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 2: ninety nine and two thousand win win good teams in Jacksonville, 451 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 2: of course, one a loss, five win and overtime oh 452 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 2: seven win in the regular season and a win in 453 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 2: the playoffs. 454 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 3: Both those were Jags playoff really. 455 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 2: Good teams eleven a loss, I know what was happening then, 456 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 2: and then seventeen the win and the regular season in 457 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 2: the playoffs and they have good teams win. 458 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 7: When the Jaguars have been good, they go up and 459 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 7: they handle that situation. 460 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 2: Hey, let's come back. We've got Trevor Lawrence ahead, and yes, 461 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 2: the knee brace is still. 462 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,639 Speaker 3: On, and it's gonna say, yes, we're. 463 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,479 Speaker 2: Gonna hear from the quarterback coming up and get his 464 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 2: thoughts on that brace in the situation where the Jaguars offense. 465 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 2: Jaggs fans want customized Jaguars furniture for your home.

You know, it's just it's 470 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 5: like one of those things you find ways to win, 471 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 5: you get you get criticism, and you don't win games, 472 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 5: you get criticism. 473 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:26,959 Speaker 4: So it's nature of the business. 474 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 5: Obviously we're used to that here, so it doesn't it 475 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 5: doesn't bug us. But I think it's just, you know, 476 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 5: it's a good reminder just to everyone that you know, 477 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 5: we use all this it's a chip on our shoulder. 478 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 5: We use it as fuel. That's really all. It was, nothing, 479 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 5: nothing more to it. I've obviously those people are doing 480 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 5: their jobs too at the same time, so you understand it. 481 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 5: But I think it's good to have a little emotion 482 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 5: and remember remember kind of things that people say, and 483 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 5: we don't forget it when when people are backtracking in 484 00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 5: a few weeks or into the season, whatever it is. 485 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 5: So that's all it was. Yeah, everybody does a little bit, 486 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 5: maybe some more than others, you know, others more than 487 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 5: me probably, but definitely I think you use all that 488 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 5: and that's part of getting our edge back as a team. 489 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 5: That's what we've done the last few weeks and we're 490 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 5: gonna keep doing it. 491 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 2: So the quarterback Trevor Lawrence asked about his hashtag analysts tweet. 492 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 3: I thought it was fun. 493 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 7: Supposed to be fun, JP, I mean, and Trevor in 494 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 7: moments will have fun.

I Mean, the 498 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 7: money's good, but beyond that, fans you know, I think 499 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 7: fans like that it's harmless. Uh, there's an us against 500 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 7: them to it. I thought it was pretty cool, Bucky 501 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 7: and Christian was laughing at it, saying he was he 502 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,479 Speaker 7: was clapping and high five into himself when he saw it. 503 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 3: He loved it. 504 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, No, just the thing you other. Remember, everybody in 505 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,640 Speaker 4: that locker room is a level competitive. They look forward the. 506 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 6: Slice, they're looking for a reason to make it personally, 507 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 6: and so when they're giving a little fuel, they feed 508 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 6: off of it. You heard Trevor talk about that and 509 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 6: kind of wanting people to walk it back and remembering 510 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 6: those things. 511 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 4: And everybody in sports they always like to feel like 512 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,120 Speaker 4: nobody believed in us. We're done the dog. 513 00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 6: It's just part of the athlete thing. And so if 514 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,199 Speaker 6: that gets Trevor Lawrence going, it's great. But there's a 515 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 6: fine line between reading too much of that stuff. At 516 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 6: the end of the day, man, your pride and your 517 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 6: performance and all that other stuff has to be intrinsically motivated. 518 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 4: You don't need to really deal with the external factors. 519 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 6: Just make sure you bring it each and every day 520 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 6: because the pride is in make sure that you win 521 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 6: games and you stuck up a lot of them so 522 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 6: you can do the stuff that you want to do 523 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 6: as a team. 524 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 7: Yeah, JP, When I was covered high school sports with 525 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 7: my good friend Matt Hayes, who's now on ten ten 526 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 7: and you know, one of the better college football guys 527 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 7: in the country. We covered high school football together for 528 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 7: a couple of years and we had a rule with 529 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 7: each other that we couldn't use, and nobody thought we 530 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 7: could do it. 531 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 3: We knew we could do. 532 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 7: It after every high school game and if I started realizing, 533 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 7: nobody really was thinking whether you could do it or not. 534 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 3: So do you use that now you're high school? 535 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 2: Do you use that now? Bucky and your team? 536 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 4: I mean I looked for different things. If there's a 537 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 4: reason where I can poke the bear a little bit, yeah, 538 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 4: I'll poke the bear. 539 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 6: I mean, look, the emotional charge goes away after the 540 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 6: first two minutes of the game, but you're always looking 541 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 6: for something to kind of, you know, kind of perk. 542 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 4: Them up a little bit. 543 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 6: I mean, that's that's what you naturally do as a competitor. 544 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 4: Like, we're always looking for that reason. 545 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 3: Don't you. 546 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 7: I mean, I want to ask Bucky the analyst slash 547 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 7: defensive coordinator here uh and and and mainly scout. 548 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,919 Speaker 3: Coach all all of Bucky's hats. 549 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 7: Trevor Lawrence and the criticism that he was responding to 550 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 7: last week is not the only criticism you hear about him. 551 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 7: But I guess I was surprised. I looked at the 552 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 7: stats and realized you only had eighteen or eight touchdown 553 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 7: passes this year. I was a little surprised at that 554 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 7: because I don't pay that much attention to the stats 555 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 7: because they don't always line up. I was surprised at 556 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 7: that number because from watching him play seven games, I 557 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 7: get that he's not on pace to match his touchdowns 558 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 7: from last year. But I just feel like he's a 559 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 7: better quarterback and managing the game better, playing better. They're 560 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 7: five and two. It never really occurred to me that 561 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 7: he wasn't playing as well, although I guess if you 562 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:43,040 Speaker 7: look at stats and expect like high powered stuff, you. 563 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,640 Speaker 3: Would be am. I am I off base there at all? 564 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 4: No, You're not a base. 565 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 6: One of the reasons why Tom Brady's considered to go, 566 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 6: not because of the individual stats, is because his ability. 567 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 4: To win games. 568 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 6: As long as Trevor stacks w's it doesn't matter what 569 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 6: the stat line looks like at the end of the day, 570 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 6: the quarterbacks job is to lead. 571 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 4: The team to the winner circle. 572 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 6: The Jaguars are beginning to learn how to find different 573 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,480 Speaker 6: ways to get there. 574 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 4: We came into the year thinking that this. 575 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 6: Offense was going to be the one that kind of 576 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 6: carried the team to whatever. 577 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 4: They are able to do at the end of the year. 578 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 4: It hasn't been like that. 579 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 6: The offense has been clunky, has been inconsistent defensively, and 580 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 6: with the special teams, that's how they've been able to 581 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 6: kind of put themselves. 582 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 4: In position to win games. 583 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,239 Speaker 6: The hope is the second half of the season the 584 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 6: offense hits his stride to go with the defense and 585 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 6: the special teams and then they play at a high level. 586 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 6: But right now, Trevor Lawrence has done just enough to 587 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 6: win games. And there's nothing wrong with using a menagerial 588 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 6: approach as opposed to a play making approach to get. 589 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 4: The job done. 590 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 7: And and I understand the clunkiness, but I also understand that 591 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 7: in the last four weeks in this winning streak, big 592 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 7: play at the end of that game, the forty four 593 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:57,119 Speaker 7: yard touchdown when they needed it, big big touchdowns against 594 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 7: the Bills to clinch it. 595 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,800 Speaker 3: And run in key moments. 596 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, big first downs against Atlanta. To me, I just 597 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 7: feel like I did last week. I get that it's 598 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 7: not the high power, number one rated offense people expected, 599 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 7: but the team is making plays at the big moments. 600 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 7: This just feels so much more sustainable than what they 601 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 7: were doing at the end of last year. Maybe I'll 602 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 7: be proven wrong, but I think this is this team 603 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 7: is a much better team overall than it was seven 604 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 7: you know, obviously seven games in, but even at the 605 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 7: end of last year when they were making headlines. 606 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 6: Is howel oh YEA because last Yeah, because last year 607 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 6: there was a lot of hocus pocus to what was happening. 608 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 6: I mean, there was a lot of can't get a 609 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 6: stop on defense. Oh, by the way, there's a phone 610 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 6: where we pick it up, we go score, we getting 611 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 6: whoop for most. 612 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: Of the game. 613 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 4: I think it's a tip boll. 614 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 6: Interception and the takeaways get it. Trevor Lawrence finds. 615 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 4: A big play. It was a lot of a lot. 616 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 6: Of things had to go the Jaguars way for them 617 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 6: to get the w's and make it into the postseason. 618 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 4: This year, it hasn't been pretty, but it's been a 619 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 4: little more sustainable. 620 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 6: It's a little more uh more substance to it than 621 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 6: it's been in the past, and we. 622 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 4: Just have to get used to it. 623 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 6: It's funny because we've always talked about when the Jaguars 624 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 6: have been good, there's been a certain style that has 625 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 6: always been employed us about the defense playing. 626 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 4: Well or whatever, and Lo and Behold. 627 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 6: Were right back to the way that the Jaguars always 628 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 6: kind of played when they're good. It's about defense, timely pay, 629 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 6: making special teams, and then a little bit of the 630 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 6: offense making contributions. And that's fine as long as they 631 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 6: win games. I don't think anyone cares. At the end 632 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 6: of the day, the most important stat is did you 633 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 6: win or did you lose? 634 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 4: The Jaguars have been winning, so it's all good. 635 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 2: He dropped hocus pocus on us. 636 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,320 Speaker 7: He did, he didn't, and JP one stat that's not 637 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 7: hoax spokes. We talked about it on the Reporters podcast. 638 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 7: Four games they've trailed once and it was when they 639 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 7: trailed three nothing and hadn't had the ball yet against Indy. Now, 640 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 7: I get the Saints came back on him, but look 641 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 7: in the NFL, you reel off four games where Basically 642 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 7: you never trailed because your offense had not had a 643 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 7: chance to go score yet, so you gotta get there trail. 644 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 3: I'm nitpicking. You give it, I'm getting that. 645 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 7: I don't you know you can go a long time 646 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 7: in this league and be really good and not have 647 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 7: a four game run like that. 648 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 6: So it's funny, John, Like I've been with coaches in 649 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 6: the National Football League who would always set the goal 650 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 6: of we just want to go three and one each 651 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 6: quarter of the season. This is when it was a 652 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 6: sixteen game season. But three and one, we'll get you 653 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 6: to twelve and four. You can amend that now to 654 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 6: be in either. 655 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:33,240 Speaker 4: Twelve and five or thirty in the four. 656 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 6: But the goal is we can talk about, hey, we're 657 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 6: trying to win them all, but no one realistically thinks 658 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 6: that you're gonna run the table. You win three out 659 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 6: of four, man, a lot of your goals, a lot 660 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 6: of your like title hopes, they stay and play because 661 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 6: you not only probably win your division, but you're guaranteed 662 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,640 Speaker 6: to get one of the top two maybe three seeds. 663 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 6: That puts you one step closer. 664 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 4: To being able to really make a run in the tournament. 665 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 2: Were back in a moment our final thoughts ahead of 666 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 2: the Jaguars Steelers matchup. Practice is underway this week.

The Pittsburgh 699 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 6: Stellers are gonna be a stern test, just because we 700 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,719 Speaker 6: talked about the physicality. 701 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 4: And their style of play. If you beat the Pittsburgh. 702 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 6: Stellers, now everyone around the league is to take the 703 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 6: Jaguars a little more seriously in terms of how. 704 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 4: They play, who they've beaten, the style of play. 705 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,440 Speaker 6: We've kind of embraced a little bit of the greediness, 706 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 6: GrITT and grind. I've heard some of the guys talk 707 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 6: about it. I've heard for your little Kin kind of 708 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 6: reference like their kind. 709 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 4: Of grimy style. 710 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 6: Well, if you beat the Pittsburgh Steelers at their own game, 711 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 6: then the league begins to kind of believe that, and 712 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 6: also know this San Francisco forty nine has put a 713 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 6: beat down on the Steelers because they overwhelmed them with their. 714 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 4: Physicality and toughness. The other Pets and those. 715 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 6: Guys, I'm sure have not talked about it, but I'm 716 00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 6: sure that has been one of the things that's been discussed, 717 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,600 Speaker 6: probably in the locker room. 718 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 4: The way that you beat the bully, you got to 719 00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:39,320 Speaker 4: hit the bully, righting them out. 720 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 6: I would expect to see a very edgy Jaguars team 721 00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 6: when they step on the field on Sunday. 722 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, And I think people miss how physical this team 723 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 7: is because again there's so much emphasis. The buzz around 724 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 7: this team is still on over what they're not in 725 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 7: terms of rushing the passer, and when you're not a 726 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 7: quote big sack team, I think people can miss how 727 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 7: you play defensively. And to me, when you watch this 728 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 7: team play defense, they're they're very physical and they're very 729 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,799 Speaker 7: hard to run against, and I think they can do 730 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,799 Speaker 7: what Bucky's talking about, I guess is what I'm getting at. 731 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 7: It would not be surprising at all for them to 732 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 7: go up and for the Steelers to think after the game, 733 00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,480 Speaker 7: we were just in a very physical game. They're front seven, 734 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,080 Speaker 7: this team's front seven, and even their defensive backs hit. 735 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 3: Uh. 736 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 7: So yeah, I think that's definitely the approach, and uh, 737 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 7: I think that's a style that again, I think they 738 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,680 Speaker 7: think they can and should win the game, and I 739 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,000 Speaker 7: think that's the way they're going to do it. 740 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,359 Speaker 2: Sounds like a plan to be We'll see what happens. Hey, 741 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 2: coming up tomorrow, it's jags Am John Is that right? 742 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,439 Speaker 3: Yes?
