We'll do a little self scouting on 11 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 4: Huddle Up. First look at the Las Vegas Raiders. They're 12 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 4: two and five, and how to slow down Max Crosby 13 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 4: the defensive end, Rock Powers the tight end could be 14 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 4: back out there after a couple of games off to 15 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 4: the side, and the Jaguars round of course, cut down 16 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 4: those self inflicted mistakes. We'll get to all that. Jp Shaddrick, 17 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 4: John Oser. We're at the Hunday studios at the Mill 18 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 4: Electric Center. Bucky Brooks is in Los Angeles and this 19 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 4: is the Bucky Brooks Bowl this week. Raiders is Jaguars, 20 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 4: absolutely it is Bucky. 21 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 5: I don't know if we can say as to Bucky 22 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 5: Brooks Bowl. 23 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 6: When Bucky Brooks has like five to seven teams that 24 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 6: he can claim based on his playing and scouting careers, 25 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 6: I don't think this would be a ball. 26 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 4: I don't know. Com the other day and Bucky Brooks 27 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 4: is all over that website too well. 28 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 6: I mean, I have an opinion. I have an opinion, 29 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 6: So sometimes ask for the opinion. 30 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 5: I give it. 31 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 6: They can get the opinion if you're asked. 32 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 2: Notice he's he's wearing a black hoodie today. 33 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 3: You know, Okay high school. 34 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,839 Speaker 2: Great. 35 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 7: He's wearing his great head coach Hodi. 36 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 4: It's one of the classic moments of the combine. John, 37 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 4: you and I are there, Bucky's there. He sits down 38 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 4: with us, does something, and then literally goes like four 39 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 4: tables over, change his sweatshirts into a Raiders sweatshirt and 40 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 4: does their thing. 41 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 6: He's quick, I would say, a JP, and you're on 42 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 6: the verge of doing these things. 43 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 5: Like I would say, that was a gift back. 44 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 6: So I show up to do the interview and they 45 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 6: gifted me a sweatshirt. So like anyone who was a 46 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 6: Southern gentleman who had great hospitality would do, I take 47 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 6: it and I dot it like you should. 48 00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 5: That's all. It was a gift. It is rude to 49 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 5: not take gifts when they're given to you. It's a gift. 50 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 2: That's very nice, you know what that is. 51 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 7: That's a great hospitality cop out. That's what a sweatshirt says. 52 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 5: Wow. 53 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 4: All right, So we'll get into the Raiders coming up 54 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 4: in just a little bit. But you know, coming out 55 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 4: of the bye week, we've I feel that this is 56 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 4: always a strange one, John, because we talked about this 57 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 4: the other day, you and I. 58 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 3: Coming out of the. 59 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 4: Bye week, it feels like we've covered all these things 60 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 4: over and over. There's no game to review, but it's 61 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,679 Speaker 4: a lot of the same things we talk the inconsistencies, 62 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 4: the drops, the penalties, and you know, big picture things 63 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 4: for this team. They're four and three, but there's a 64 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 4: lot of things that could be working on well. 65 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 7: And then you also had sort of the double whammy 66 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 7: of the last two games before the buye for the Jags. 67 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 7: They weren't the same game because everybody's lumped him together, 68 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 7: and they didn't get blown out by Seattle. They weren't uncompetitive, 69 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 7: but some of the same issues were the issues the 70 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 7: control and the controllables, the defensive line on the other 71 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 7: side of the ball being very strong and then losing. 72 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 7: So it feels like it's been the same topic for 73 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 7: three weeks, for three weeks in a row. The good 74 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 7: thing is you've got a game this week and it's 75 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 7: a winnable game with different matchups. But to me, Bucky 76 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 7: the key still is around here this week. Everybody's asking 77 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 7: about different stuff, and Liam sort of has the same 78 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 7: theme on all the answers that I think he's right. Look, 79 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 7: we can't be behind the chains offensively and expect to 80 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 7: be a run centric, physical team, and you have to 81 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 7: play smart in this league to be physical. 82 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 2: Right. Is there something there? 83 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's something there. 84 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 6: If you're gonna be a run first team, or first 85 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 6: down is the most important down, and whatever you elect 86 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,239 Speaker 6: to do on first down, whether it's runner or passage, 87 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 6: you have to get four yards because you have to 88 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 6: be in second and six to be able to be 89 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 6: in what we call a mixed down situation, meaning you 90 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 6: can use a mix of. 91 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 5: Run or pass on those downs. 92 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 6: If you're sitting at second and eight and then at 93 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 6: third or six plus, those are long yard of situations 94 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 6: where the run is not an option, and what that 95 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 6: allows the defense to do is to pin their ears back, 96 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 6: attack the quarterback, bring exotic pressures, change with the exotic coverages, 97 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 6: and all those things that make it very, very difficult 98 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 6: to move the ball consistently. 99 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 5: In the NFL. 100 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 6: The reason why the running game is important is because 101 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 6: if you can stay ahead of the chains, it prevents 102 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 6: teams from pinning there is back and going after the quarterback. 103 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 6: But you can't do it if you do not win 104 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 6: first downs. So on some of those first downs, when 105 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,159 Speaker 6: they elect to pass, they must get a completion and 106 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 6: they have to get positive yards because it's about staying 107 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 6: on schedule that allows you to stay with the running game. 108 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 7: So those drop passes and self inflicted sacks, which ever 109 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 7: had a few against the Rams, hurt the running game 110 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 7: because it reduces opportunity to get there. 111 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 2: I sort of loved it. 112 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,359 Speaker 7: I think it was after the Rams game when Liam 113 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 7: was asked about this and about the run pass balance, 114 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 7: and you can kind of see it on his face 115 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 7: of you know, I mean second and third and long 116 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 7: all day and I'm down twenty eighth, so I'm supposed 117 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 7: to run. And as a play caller, he knows he's 118 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 7: got to have run pass balance. To me, one of 119 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,279 Speaker 7: the major things that I noticed and liked early was 120 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 7: as long as games were relatively close, he was doing 121 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 7: a nice job of staying with the run even when 122 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 7: it felt like it wasn't working. That's hard to It's 123 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 7: probably the hardest thing to do as a play caller 124 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 7: is stay committed to that when every instinct is saying 125 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 7: we got to have seven here. I thought he did 126 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 7: a nice job with that. But Bucky, when you're down 127 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 7: twenty one in the second half and you're in like 128 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 7: second and twelve, you know, where's my run play, I'm 129 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 7: tossing that legal path away. 130 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, I gotta say this. 131 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 6: I've been really impressed with Liam as a head coach 132 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 6: for many reasons, and one of the reasons is his 133 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 6: ability to be very transparent when it comes to his 134 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 6: thought process calling plays, and he is right as much 135 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 6: as he would love to run it and to make 136 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 6: sure that the team is balanced and physical and those things. 137 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 5: If you have. 138 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 6: You lack the efficiency on early downs, it prevents you 139 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 6: from being able to stick to your game plan. Now, 140 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 6: some of the reasons why the Jacks have been inefficient 141 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 6: of late self inflicted mistakes. What you talked about blowing assignments, penalties, 142 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 6: drop passes, not executing at a high level on those downs. 143 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 6: It's preventing this team from playing like it played earlier 144 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 6: in the year, when they were able to established a 145 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 6: run game physically imposed the well known people. The great 146 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 6: thing about the Boye week it gives you an opportunity 147 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 6: to reset, refocus, and kind of put a new plan 148 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,239 Speaker 6: in place to make sure that you stay on track 149 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 6: going forward. I'm excited to see not only what they 150 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 6: do against the Raiders, but how they attacked the rest 151 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 6: of the season now that they've taken all that information, 152 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 6: cleaned up everything, and now are you able to attack 153 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 6: it with a fresh set of eyes. 154 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 4: And we'll get a good look at what the defense 155 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 4: did as well during the by week. Any changers there, 156 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 4: and you know, William Cone actually hinted today that they 157 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 4: might look at some different scenarios in the secondary for 158 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 4: coverages and players out there take some load off. We'll 159 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,440 Speaker 4: see what happens with that. Obviously, the sack numbers aren't there. 160 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 4: They have the least amount of sacks in the NFL, 161 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 4: but they are still very high on the takeaway list 162 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 4: because of what they did early in the season. 163 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 5: They haven't had won the. 164 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 3: Last two weeks, So where are you defensively with this team, Bucky? 165 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 5: Look, man, I still believe in the defense. 166 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 6: I love what Anthony Kivnil is done in terms of 167 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 6: creating a mindset where these guys are turnover obsessed and 168 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 6: we know that the turnovers. Winning the turnover battle is 169 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 6: the easiest way to win games in this league. So 170 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 6: then a great job of knocking the ball loose, taking 171 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 6: the ball away on tips and overthrows and those things. 172 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 6: But much like we talked about on offense about winning 173 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,679 Speaker 6: early downs and how that sets the table for the offense, 174 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 6: same thing on defense. You got to be able to 175 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 6: win on early downs so you can force them in 176 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,239 Speaker 6: the long yard of situations, heat up the pass rush 177 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 6: when you're playing coverage behind it, and then you're able 178 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 6: to get those sacks. 179 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 5: You're able to get those. 180 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 6: Splash plays, the interceptions and all that. Earlier in the 181 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 6: year when we were stopping to run, we were getting 182 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 6: the turnovers. 183 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 5: It all works hand in hand. 184 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 6: Win first down and then the fun stuff happens on 185 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 6: those other downs. 186 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm not worried about the defense because again, I 187 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 7: don't think this is a top five defense. Statistically, you're 188 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 7: not going to look at this defense the end of 189 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 7: the season say, boy, they dominated every week. But I 190 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,599 Speaker 7: because I think it's moving toward that. Personnel wise, I 191 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 7: don't think they were able to get this offseason everything 192 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 7: they wanted to do done. But with who they've got, 193 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 7: except for the Rams game, they've stopped the run pretty well. 194 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 7: They stopped the run against Seattle so and they weren't 195 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 7: as good against the run against LA But it wasn't 196 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 7: It wasn't like it was Katie bar the door. 197 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 2: It was sure. 198 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 7: You know, when a team gets up the way the 199 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 7: Rams did, it's easier for them to play call their 200 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 7: way into good situations with the run. 201 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,199 Speaker 2: As long as they can stop. 202 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 7: The run, you know, aggregately or whatever it is, as 203 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 7: well as they did with the first seven games, they're 204 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 7: going in these last ten games, they're gonna play good 205 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 7: defense eight or nine times. And if you played good 206 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 7: defense eight or nine times or the course of a game, 207 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 7: you're gonna get your opportunities to get turnovers. Plus, I'm 208 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 7: assuming they're going to get Trayvon back to full speed 209 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 7: and Devon back to full speed at some point point. 210 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 7: Getting Trayvon back, I don't think it gould be a 211 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 7: great pass rushing team this year, but they're a more 212 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 7: disruptive front consistently, and they wreck more things when he's 213 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,959 Speaker 7: in the game healthy with two hands. So I do 214 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 7: think there is a lot of hope for them to 215 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 7: play better than average defense the rest of the year. 216 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 5: Yeah, so look, I think there's great hope. 217 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,599 Speaker 6: I think it's also about getting the personnel that you 218 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 6: talked about, getting the guys back healthy in those things, 219 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 6: the different combinations in the secondary, I think that's interesting 220 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 6: to me. My intenna goes off on they're trying to 221 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 6: find a way to get Travis Hunter on the field 222 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 6: and trying to find a way to get him regularly 223 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 6: on the field, maybe without so much of the Hodgepodge 224 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 6: scenarios that they've been doing early. So if you have 225 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 6: different personnel groupings where you can call out Tiger or 226 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 6: Bear or whatever it is where he's in, it's a 227 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 6: much easier way to get him in and ensure that 228 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 6: he's on the field. Those set numbers plays that they 229 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 6: would like him beyond the field on. 230 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 7: Defense should he be Bucky and I was kind of 231 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 7: laughing against the Rams, I would have just yelled out Davante. 232 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 2: But and I'm being a. 233 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 7: Little facetious there, but is there a way? It's so 234 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 7: hard because DeVante scored three touchdowns, So in retrospect, you'd 235 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 7: like to say, well, you'd have liked for Travis to 236 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 7: have been covering him on those three plays, but you 237 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 7: can't do that. But is there a way to get 238 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:35,199 Speaker 7: him on best receiver in big situations? As soon as 239 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 7: I say that, that's hard because they're mostly his own team. 240 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 7: So is there a path to what I'm talking about? 241 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 7: Or is that just me being like football idiot, which 242 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 7: I'm good. 243 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, no, no no. 244 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 6: There are ways that you can do things like it's 245 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 6: very similar to in basketball when you play a box 246 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 6: in one where you kind of zone around one person, 247 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,079 Speaker 6: and so you have Travis Hunter potentially maybe working on 248 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 6: the outside or in the slide, and you zone everything else. 249 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 6: There's things that you can do to tap into some 250 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 6: of those skills. But I also think he is just 251 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,839 Speaker 6: so good in terms of just the instincts, the reactions 252 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 6: playing in their traditional zones. 253 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 5: I would just like him on the field more. 254 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 6: And when you make the trade to get Greg Newsome 255 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 6: and you have Jordan Lewis who was terrific at Nickel 256 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 6: and you have Buster Brown who is playing well in 257 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 6: Travis Hunt. 258 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 5: Maybe this becomes more of a dime. 259 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 6: Team, or you do different things where maybe you have 260 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 6: three linemen on the field and two linebackers and seventy 261 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 6: b's whatever it is, sixty b's, but you use various 262 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 6: combinations to get the best players on the field, and 263 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 6: ultimately this about putting the best eleven on the field. 264 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 6: This we reset this week is give me a chance 265 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 6: to evaluate the tape and find who are the best 266 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 6: eleven for certain situations. Let's make sure we have those 267 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 6: guys on the field in those key moments. 268 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 4: All right, guys, let's come back and get into this 269 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 4: Raiders football team. 270 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 3: Two and five.

And then if it 287 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 8: is a little bit of a longer developing pass play, 288 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 8: well that's when you just kind of see him relentlessly 289 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 8: strain and uh, you know, he's just long in terms 290 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 8: of his legs, the bounding, his ability to get to 291 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 8: the quarterback.

The site 301 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 4: four oh five eastern kickoff time. This Sunday and Week nine, 302 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 4: second straight year, the Jaguars have been in Las Vegas 303 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 4: and they're gonna face this Max Crosby led defense. That's 304 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 4: who Liam Cohen was referencing there for sacks on the 305 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 4: season for Crosby nine quarterback hits. He still plays like 306 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 4: every down right, Bucky, what's the story with ma excels year? 307 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 6: Look, man, When he plays, he plays at a high level. 308 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 6: He is a high motive player, a guy that is 309 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 6: relentless in his pursuit of the quarterback. He's unique because 310 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 6: he's a power rusher, so he can give you problems 311 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 6: if you're not able to set an anchor versus him, 312 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 6: and then he kind of sets the table for the 313 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 6: rest of their defense. When you talk about a guy 314 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 6: playing with the kind of energy that you want to 315 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 6: see from a level player, that is what Max Crosby does. 316 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 6: And as he gets going, the rest of the team 317 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 6: feeds off his competitiveness, his toughness, all the energetic stuff that. 318 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 5: He brings to the table. 319 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 7: Yeah, there's a lot of respect in this building, Rahim, 320 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 7: and rightfully so. And it's what makes the Raiders to 321 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 7: me dangerous. I get to their two and five, but 322 00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 7: they have game wrecker and playmaker on offense. You know so, 323 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 7: and it's it's a two and five team, but they're 324 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 7: playing under a first year head coach and Pete Carroll. 325 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 7: This is not gonna be a situation where the two 326 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 7: and five team is saying, Okay, you're four and three, 327 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 7: come on in here and take the game and let's 328 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 7: go home and you know, we'll go back to the desert. 329 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 2: I mean, this is good. 330 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 7: I think it's gonna be a tough game, partially because 331 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 7: the Raiders team that has gotten blown out wasn't the 332 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 7: same Raiders team it's gonna be on the field. I'm 333 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 7: jumping ahead. But when you have rock Bowers in the game, 334 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 7: you know they have a weapon that they can you. 335 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 7: So I don't think I don't think this is a 336 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 7: gimme at all, even though my senses a lot of 337 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 7: fans have this circle. 338 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 6: So yeah, I think you have to be really careful 339 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 6: in these games two and five. When you look at 340 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 6: the record, it's gonna be hard for the outside world 341 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 6: to view this as a very competitive game. 342 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 5: But we see it each and every week. 343 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 6: We saw the New York Judge, not all the Cincinnati 344 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 6: Bengals upsets happened in this league all the time. 345 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 5: To me, this is a test of the. 346 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 6: Maturity of the Jaguars in terms of being able to 347 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 6: go on the road take care of business against a 348 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 6: team that maybe internally you say, hey, we need to 349 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 6: get this, we should get this when we're a better team. 350 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 6: The problem that you have is this is a team 351 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 6: that's coming off a thirty one zero law who had 352 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 6: a bye week, and they're getting their pieces back. So 353 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,440 Speaker 6: not only are they smarting from that embarrassing loss, they're 354 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 6: bringing back a better team when they show up on Sunday, 355 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 6: brought Bowers asked in genty, those guys can be problematic 356 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 6: because they're right in the middle of the field and 357 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 6: so having a plan to deal with the tied end 358 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,920 Speaker 6: while also snuffing out the running game. That is where 359 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 6: it has to start on defense, and then it is 360 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 6: about making sure that on offense you take care of Crosby, 361 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 6: and you also got to take care of Devin White, 362 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 6: the Mike linebacker that has been a Pro Bowl player 363 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 6: at Tampa. He is also having a really good year 364 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 6: and kind of finding himself back to being a guy 365 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 6: that can be a Pro Bowl contended. 366 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 4: Is this a Raiders defensive line that the Jags O 367 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 4: line can handle. Can they push him around physically get 368 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 4: back to that style of play? 369 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 5: Well? I think so. 370 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 6: I mean, I think outside of Max Crosby, Max Crosby 371 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 6: is the headliner, but the rest of those guys are 372 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 6: still trying to find their way. They have really good 373 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 6: players from Malcolm Cooms's one that you have to keep 374 00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:58,439 Speaker 6: an eye on. 375 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 5: But it's not the same. 376 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 6: It's not like those two teams that you're just coming 377 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 6: off of playing one. When you play the Seattle Seahawks, 378 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 6: you're talking about those young, athletic, hungry defenders that could 379 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 6: nominate and in with the Rams. Look, man, a lot 380 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 6: to be said for what they have in Jared Vers 381 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 6: and Brian Young and some of those other guys. Not 382 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 6: quite the same, even though Max Crosby is like an 383 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 6: All Pro player in his own right. 384 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think this is the tailor made example and 385 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 7: probably a good opportunity for the Jaguars in this sense. 386 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 7: I don't think the offensive line is like, Wow, we 387 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 7: are physically dominant and better than the Raiders defensive line. 388 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 7: But I think it's a matchup where if the Jaguars 389 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 7: get back to playing like they did earlier in the season. 390 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 7: They handled some fine lines. They didn't handle the Seahawks line. 391 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 7: But that might be the best and most difficult matchup 392 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 7: they play all year. 393 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 2: But you know, it always back to what we talked 394 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 2: about the top of the show. 395 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 7: If this line plays in decent situations, as in not 396 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 7: second and twelve, not with receivers dropping the ball, If 397 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 7: it plays consistently early, it's a defensive line that this 398 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 7: team can handle. 399 00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 2: This team can handle. 400 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 7: Good defensive lines if it doesn't give away situations throughout 401 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 7: the entire game. So, yeah, you can get back to that, 402 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 7: but don't face second and thirteen on your second offensive play. 403 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, and some of that was on Trevor the other day. Sure, so. 404 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 7: Stay smart and stay physical, and this is a game 405 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 7: you can win by just playing to your potential as 406 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:33,400 Speaker 7: an offensive line. 407 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 4: All right, guys, we'll come back in a moment and 408 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 4: flip it around the other side. Dig deeper on Brock 409 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 4: Powers and Ashton genty and Geno Smith and the receivers 410 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 4: for the Las Vegas Raiders, who will entertain the Jacksonville 411 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 4: Jaguars this Sunday. And the Jags, of course, are gearing 412 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 4: up to face the Chargers Sunday, November sixteenth. 413 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 3: It's the annual Salute to Service Game. 414 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 4: Join us as we honor and celebrate the brave men 415 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 4: and women of our military all game long. 416 00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:58,920 Speaker 3: Get your seats now. 417 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 4: Jaguars dot Com slash checkets are called nine oh four 418 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,199 Speaker 4: six three three, two thousand. This is Huddle Up with 419 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 4: Bucky Brooks. 420 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 8: He gets in and out of break so well's I know, 421 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 8: he was like forty something men's vertical coming out of 422 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 8: high school. He's a very good athlete. He's like, what 423 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 8: do you need to define as a football player. I mean, 424 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 8: he just has a knock for getting open. He's harder 425 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 8: to tackle than maybe just looking. 426 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 5: At the table. 427 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 8: He'll break tackles, drag people down. He knows how to 428 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 8: wiggle and separate and also the contested catchability. So very 429 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 8: good player. Have a lot of respect for him. 430 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 4: Sleam Cohen discussing Brock Bauers, the Raiders tight end who 431 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 4: is expected to be back on the field this week 432 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 4: after missing three weeks of action and welcome back. It's 433 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 4: Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks, j P, Shadrick John Oser 434 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,399 Speaker 4: and Yes, Bucky Brooks. 435 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 5: Keep key Jaguars Raiders up. 436 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 4: This a Sunday, and now time for the defensive coverage 437 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 4: of the game, presented by g EHA Government Employees Health 438 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 4: Association Benefits for federal employees and retirees. And we take 439 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 4: a closer look at this Raiders offense that the Jaguars 440 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 4: will have to defend. 441 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 3: And yeah, Brock. 442 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 4: Bauers, well, he did it to this team last year 443 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 4: in Vegas. Eleven catches on thirteen targets against the Jaguars 444 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 4: for ninety nine yards last season. So Jaggs fans at 445 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 4: least have seen this close and personal if he gets going, 446 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 4: and now he's coming back off injury after missing three 447 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 4: games the tight end. 448 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 3: Where does he rank around the league in terms of talent? 449 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 6: Bucky, He's the best. I mean, I think everyone would 450 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 6: say coming off the season that he had last year. 451 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 5: We shattered roocky records. 452 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 6: We established Mike Dick's receiving record for roocky tight ends. 453 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 6: He is everything that you want in a position. He's 454 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 6: a terrific pass catcher, outstanding route runner, can get down 455 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 6: to see him and make big plays, but also can 456 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 6: do all of the fun creative stuff that you want 457 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 6: to see a tight end do. In today's game, he 458 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 6: is a problem. And you mentioned the eleven catches last year, 459 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 6: the ninety nine yards and even though it doesn't seem 460 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 6: like a lot of production, like nine yards a catch, 461 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,360 Speaker 6: it's just annoying that whenever they need a play they 462 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 6: can find them. And it's not a coincidence that the 463 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 6: quarterback Geno Smith has been struggling with turnovers without brock 464 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 6: Bauers being in the lineup. Now you put brock Bowers 465 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 6: in the lineup. You have asked in genty in the lineup. 466 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 6: We're going to face a much different Raiders team than 467 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 6: the one that's been showing up the last few weeks. 468 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,120 Speaker 6: That's why everyone has to be on point. You can't 469 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 6: take this team likely. You need to bring the energy 470 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 6: to get. 471 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 5: This done because this is a big game for the Jacks. 472 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 5: You want to get ahead of the curve. 473 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 6: You have this one this week, and when out looking 474 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 6: too far ahead, you have the Texas next week. You 475 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 6: want to make sure that you're stacking wins because the 476 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 6: magic number is ten. If we're talking about this team 477 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 6: getting into the playoffs, I. 478 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 2: Think it's a mammoth game. 479 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 7: I mean it's I think there are gettable games in 480 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 7: the second half there's some that are gonna be tough, 481 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 7: but this is one that, again on paper, it's supposed 482 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 7: to be gettable. And I'm with Bucky. All this league 483 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 7: stuff that happens in the NFL that makes these games 484 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 7: sneaky hard to me makes this game sneaky hard. I 485 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 7: think Bowers is probably the biggest factor. Not only did 486 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 7: he miss three games, he was beat up. He has 487 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 7: not had one hundred yard games since Week one, but 488 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 7: he had one hundred and thirty one catches I mean 489 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 7: for fourteen hundred yards last year, which means consistently on 490 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:35,199 Speaker 7: a very pedestrian team, he gets you a hundred. So 491 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 7: it's a little unreal It's unrealistic to think that you're 492 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 7: going to hold him to the thirty or thirty five 493 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 7: if he's back. And as you said, when you're watching him, 494 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 7: I take notes in the press box, and every time 495 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 7: last year he caught the ball, you'd sort of just 496 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 7: throw your pen up and. 497 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 2: Be like, here we go again. And you know. 498 00:23:54,720 --> 00:24:02,360 Speaker 7: That's sometimes more debilitating or or you're discouraging. They're giving 499 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 7: up one big play because think, okay, hey it's third 500 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 7: and seven, we're in front of the chains. 501 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 2: We did it. 502 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 3: We've seen Kelsey do that to this team, and now. 503 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 7: It's first and ten and we're going again. So but 504 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 7: I think I defensively for the Jaguars, they have to 505 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 7: It's back to the situation for them where I think 506 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 7: they're gonna start getting turnover opportunities again. They haven't had 507 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 7: any last couple of weeks because the teams they were 508 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 7: playing against Gino. You're gonna get some opportunities. And I 509 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 7: always always call these kind of games you don't want 510 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 7: to have the camera focused on a defensive player hitting 511 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 7: the ground. I should have had that one, you know, 512 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 7: because those only come along if you know, maybe once 513 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 7: a quarter. 514 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 2: You got to catch them. 515 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 7: You can't be slapping the ground if you're a defensive player. 516 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 6: This week, Yeah, it really puts the Jaguars in the 517 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 6: buying where brock Bowers coming back. And one of the 518 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 6: reasons you're in the buying is because when you play 519 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,959 Speaker 6: zone coverage, it's hard to snug up to the tight end. 520 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 6: You can't get tight coverage on him, so you can't 521 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 6: completely take him out of the game plan. And he 522 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 6: is so good that he's gonna find the voids in 523 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 6: the zone. Anthony kmcneely has to kind of figure out, Okay, 524 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 6: how do we take care of him without compromising what 525 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 6: we'd like to do and what we've proven to be 526 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 6: very very good at, which is plays zone covers, vision 527 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 6: and break coverage and those things. They have shown the 528 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 6: ability to mix up a little man demand, but that's 529 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 6: not what they want to live in. That chess match 530 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 6: that Kempanelli plays with Chip Kelly is gonna be pivotal 531 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 6: because you cannot allow number eighty nine to get comfortable, 532 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 6: because that will help Geno Smith get out of the 533 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 6: slump that he's been being in for the entire season. 534 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 7: I'll say this, though I know this segment is Raiders, 535 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 7: Sorry about that is Raider centric, but sort of big 536 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 7: picture going to the second half the season. Look, the 537 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 7: Jaguars defense, for the most part, except for the Rams, 538 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 7: has been fine. 539 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 2: This team has. 540 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 7: To be more explosive off defensively. The Jags, we're sort 541 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 7: of talking details about the defense, and they can have 542 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 7: thirteen first downs against Seattle a couple of big plays, 543 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 7: but they held. 544 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 2: That team to twenty. Before the season. 545 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 7: If you told me how the Jaguars get to the playoffs, 546 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 7: I didn't think they were going to be the most 547 00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 7: consistent offensive team in the NFL. But I thought they 548 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 7: would be an explosive offensive team and they just haven't. 549 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 7: They have to catch the ball and they have to 550 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 7: have more big plays offensively. If they hold the Raiders 551 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 7: to twenty, if they hold teams to twenty the rest 552 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 7: of the season with this defense and get a turnover, 553 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 7: they should win most of the games. The offense has 554 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 7: to be better than it has been. It's a little 555 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 7: off topic, I get it. 556 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 5: But none of it is because as we were. 557 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 7: Grinding in the defense just then, Bucky, That's what I 558 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:47,399 Speaker 7: kept going back to. 559 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 2: The defense has been fine. 560 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 5: Yeah, defense has been good. 561 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 6: And in fact, John, when I was playing, I think 562 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,439 Speaker 6: the magic number was seventeen. They used to say, like, 563 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 6: if you're playing great defense, that's you know, seventeen points 564 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 6: per game allowed is going to put you in the 565 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 6: top five to seven teams in the league. On most years. 566 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 6: The Seattle is a great offense, they get yeah, and 567 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 6: so that is incumbent upon the offense. They got to 568 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 6: find a way to produce more plays. The problem is, 569 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 6: you talk about the explosive plays. How did the explosive 570 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 6: plays happen? Well, it happens when you running the ball 571 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 6: and then when you throw a play action pass you're 572 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 6: able to throw it over the top of the defense. 573 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,440 Speaker 6: Too often this year, we're not connecting on those those 574 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,640 Speaker 6: winners that have been dialed up that Liam says, Hey, 575 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 6: I got two or three chances a game to call 576 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 6: these plays. They're not cashing it in either, it's an 577 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 6: inaccurate throw, a drop pass, something happens upfront and the 578 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 6: quarterback gets hit. We have got to find a way 579 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,919 Speaker 6: to cash these lottery tickets so we can score. But 580 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,199 Speaker 6: we're not going to be an explosive offense until we 581 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 6: find a way to score from distance. 582 00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 5: It's just too hard to drive the length of the 583 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,120 Speaker 5: field in this league. 584 00:27:54,240 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 7: All right, let's that deviated from your path, so I apologize. 585 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 3: There's no path, there's no paths. We're just wondering aimlessly 586 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 3: through the. 587 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 2: Desert right here, and I deviated from the past. 588 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 3: We're wandering aimlessly towards Las Vegas in the desert. 589 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 4: We're back in a moment, and we'll get our final 590 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 4: thoughts ahead of this Bucky Brooks Bowl. The Raiders and 591 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 4: the Jaguars coming up from Allegiance State, even Las Vegas. 592 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 3: It's huddle up with Bucky Brooks. 593 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,200 Speaker 8: All you know as a player and as a coach 594 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 8: is they just keep pushing through that there's going to 595 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 8: be a breakthrough at some point here to just connect 596 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 8: and doing it. And you watch games from last year 597 00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 8: because obviously you're watching the Raiders from last year and 598 00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 8: you're watching big plays being made and all right, man like, 599 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 8: just it has to go happen as much as it 600 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 8: can in practice, but also you know in the game 601 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 8: it's got to come to life for that connection to 602 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 8: truly go the way that it needs to go. So 603 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 8: you know, it takes work, it takes patients, it takes time, 604 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 8: and you're just hopeful that it's going to be able 605 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 8: to come to life here. 606 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 4: William Cohen, Jaguars head coach, earlier today discussing Brian Thomas 607 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 4: Junior moving forward, Jaguars wide Receiver Welcome Back. 608 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 3: Final moments of Huddle Up with. 609 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 4: Bucky Brooks brought to you by Field's Auto Group, Jacksonville. 610 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 4: See Fields First, Jacksonville's premiere luxury auto group. 611 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 5: Go to Fields. 612 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 4: Auto Dot Com Raiders, Jaguars Coming Up, Raiders at two 613 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 4: and five, Jaguars at four and three, both the well 614 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 4: the Jaguars coming off the bye week and another. 615 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 3: Trip out west for this team. 616 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 4: They feared well last time in San Francisco, and now 617 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 4: they're trying to get the Raiders to get back on 618 00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 4: track after dropping two in a row. Yeah, so here 619 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 4: we are. This is a big swing game for the 620 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 4: next five games, by the way, or on the road. 621 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 4: Those four are against teams with losing records right now, 622 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 4: and you know the one in the middle is the 623 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 4: Chargers coming here. In the other four are away, So 624 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 4: big part of the schedule, John to really kind of collects. 625 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 4: You get your footing back right, get back on track, 626 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 4: on the winning track. And then of course these Conference 627 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 4: AFC games coming up are huge when it comes down 628 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 4: to type breakers and things at the end. 629 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, look, if you're. 630 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 7: This game is not a must win because if you 631 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 7: lose your four and four and if you win the 632 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 7: last nine, you're thirteen and four. So it's not a 633 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 7: must win, but it is big to show you. And 634 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 7: what I'm gonna say, it takes a little bit explanation. 635 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 7: If you lose it. It doesn't mean that you can't 636 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 7: turn yourself into a playoff team this year. But if 637 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 7: you go out there and you don't handle this. It 638 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 7: means that right now, you're not I mean right now, 639 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 7: you're not a team that goes and win these games. 640 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 7: Wins these games, and if you're gonna be a playoff team, 641 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 7: this is the kind of team that you've got to win. 642 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 7: It's not an easy matchup, but they're important professional football 643 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 7: game type games where you've got to go handle it. 644 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 7: You've got to win on the road, Bucky, I'm not 645 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 7: worried about this team functioning on the road. They've shown 646 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 7: they were fine functioning against Cincinnati San Francisco. 647 00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 2: They can go on the road. 648 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 7: I think this team can play with all but maybe 649 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 7: the top couple of teams, and maybe even the top teams. 650 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 7: The Chiefs might be as good as anybody right now, 651 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 7: but they've got to figure out a way to play 652 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 7: how they want to play, meaning not be behind the sticks, 653 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 7: be the more physical team. I thought they were the 654 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 7: most physical team on the field for the first five 655 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 7: games this season. 656 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 2: They were four and one. 657 00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 7: I don't think you can say that about the last 658 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 7: two games. I'm not surprised they weren't the most physical 659 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 7: against Seattle because they that team might physical their way 660 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:49,920 Speaker 7: to the Super Bowl. But overall, if they get back 661 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,920 Speaker 7: to what they were doing and play smarter. There's no 662 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 7: reason they can't go win this type of game five 663 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 7: or six times the rest of the season. But I 664 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 7: sound like a coach, mister cliche. Hey, it's about themselves. 665 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 7: They've got to get back to playing how they want 666 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 7: to play, which I'm not sure they did the last 667 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 7: two weeks, especially the last week. 668 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:10,959 Speaker 6: Now they haven't. Like look, the last week, I think 669 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 6: you have to throw out. We talked about a verity 670 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 6: ball type game in terms of you just have a 671 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 6: bad game. That was a stinker. But they have to 672 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 6: get back on track. If we talk about using the 673 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 6: formula that has worked for so long in the. 674 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 5: National Football League, let's just see if we can go 675 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 5: three and one every quarter. 676 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 6: Well, this is one of the ones that when you're 677 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 6: looking on the schedule, like, man, this should be one 678 00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 6: of the ones that we put in the win column. 679 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 6: And that's not being disrespectful to the Raiders, but that's 680 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,160 Speaker 6: just what it is. You talk about having a schedule 681 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 6: where you have some losing teams on the horizon. You 682 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 6: want to knock off those teams, win the games that 683 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 6: you're supposed to win, and then find a way to 684 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,959 Speaker 6: compete to steal one or two down the stretch. 685 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 5: This is one that I don't want. 686 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 6: To say, hey, this is a must win, but it's 687 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 6: about as close to a must winners we can get 688 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 6: in the middle of the regular season. You need to 689 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 6: stack these w's because we've sat here before years and 690 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 6: years on end and rude. We've regretted losing some of 691 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,520 Speaker 6: these games that were winnable because it's come back to 692 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 6: hurt us at the end of the year where we 693 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 6: were sitting on the outside looking in when we easily 694 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 6: could have won one or two to get into the tournament. 695 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 7: Yeah, JPI, I believe, and I've said it over and 696 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:20,640 Speaker 7: over again. I think this regime, this direction it started 697 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 7: in January. I think it's going places regardless of what 698 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,720 Speaker 7: happens on Sunday. I think these guys are doing it 699 00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 7: right and they're going to move toward being an elite team. 700 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 7: But they're not an elite team yet. They are a 701 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 7: team trying to get to elite and this season you're 702 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 7: gonna have games like you had against the Rams. The 703 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 7: key for a team that is in this stage of 704 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 7: a build to get to the postseason is to respond 705 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 7: to those and come back, and like Bucky said, beat 706 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 7: the winnables, you know, get all the winnables and then 707 00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 7: sneak a couple and you might even lose one of 708 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,720 Speaker 7: the ones you're supposed to get. But you've got to 709 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 7: get most of these in order to get to where 710 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 7: you want to go, in order to get to that 711 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 7: ten wins. So in that respect, not must win, but boy, 712 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 7: you need it right now. And I always laughing the 713 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 7: next one's always a must win, Bucky, But right now, boy, 714 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 7: this would feel like. 715 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 2: A punch in the gut if you don't. 716 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 6: Get it, it would It sounds like it must win 717 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 6: to me, JP, That's what it sounds like. 718 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,360 Speaker 5: It sounds like it's a gotta have it, gotta have 719 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,239 Speaker 5: it win Burn burn the boats. You got to find a. 720 00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,040 Speaker 6: Way to get this one, because this one sets up 721 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 6: the next few weeks when we talk about it, like 722 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 6: you talked about this one, you talk about Houston, you 723 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 6: talked about the Chargers, eventually we go to Arizona. 724 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:43,839 Speaker 5: I mean, this is a pivotal stretch. 725 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 6: You talk about being able to get ahead of it 726 00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 6: being on the graphic as we talked about the last 727 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,320 Speaker 6: month of the season, but the postseason. 728 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 5: You got to call Spadas fade. It's time to win 729 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 5: some of these games. 730 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 6: You have to win this one to really set yourself 731 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 6: up to play those meaningful games down the stretch and December. 732 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 3: Like a duck, it talks like a duck. It's probably 733 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 3: a duck. 734 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 4: So that means it's it sounds like a must win. 735 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 4: It's walking around like a must win, and it's probably 736 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 4: a must win. 737 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 7: And in a lot of sports, there between five and 738 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,399 Speaker 7: three and four and four is not a big deal. 739 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 7: In a seventeen game season, there between five and three 740 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:19,520 Speaker 7: and four and four is a big deal. I mean, 741 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 7: so that's what this game is. 742 00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:23,319 Speaker 2: It's a duck. 743 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 5: It certainly is. 744 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 3: Bucky.
