Trevor Lawrence will get an 14 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 2: update from the head coach, not much of one, but 15 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: he did not practice today, and of course the AFC 16 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 2: playoff race is heated up as much as can be 17 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 2: at this moment. How do a lot with Bucky Brooks 18 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 2: is brought to you by Field's Auto Group, Jacksonville. Step 19 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,760 Speaker 2: up to Luxury Fieldsauto dot Com and let's start with 20 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 2: the status of Trevor Lawrence. Here's head coach Doug Peterson today. 21 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 3: You got to follow the steps, you know, and and 22 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 3: it's really based on symptoms, you know, and how he feels. 23 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 3: If if he can sit in a meeting and tolerate 24 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 3: a meeting, it's okay. If if not, then we we 25 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 3: we we don't put them in there, you know, because 26 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 3: you're you're stimulating the brain, right, So it's just based 27 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 3: on based on symptoms. But like if it's his knee 28 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 3: or his ankle, he's in those meetings and and he's 29 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 3: you know, he's getting the game plan, and he's he's 30 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 3: listening and and and. 31 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 2: All of that. 32 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,119 Speaker 3: So you just you just got to do it really 33 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 3: case by case. 34 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence still in the concussion protocol. If he's not 35 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 2: able to go Sunday, CJ. Bethard would be ready. 36 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 4: To roll a lot of practice. I think, you know, 37 00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 4: whether it's here or where you know, where I used 38 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 4: to be. I think the mindset as being my seventh 39 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 4: year in the league, it's just got a lot of experience. 40 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 4: Even even the games where you know the starter isn't 41 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 4: banged up or whatever, just preparing like, you know, you 42 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 4: might have to go into the game. That's just kind 43 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 4: of what you have to do. So at this point, 44 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 4: it's really just just a mindset. And you know, I 45 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,839 Speaker 4: feel like this year I've actually, you know, you got 46 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 4: to gotten to practice a lot more than years past 47 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 4: as far as with the with the starters. You know, 48 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 4: when Trevor has missed a couple of practice here or there, 49 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 4: and it's so it's only you know, benefit of me 50 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 4: and helped me in the long run of just getting 51 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 4: rest with certain guys and that kind of stuff. 52 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 2: That's CJ Bether back up quarterback And of course in 53 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 2: the protocol, Trevor Lawrence not allowed to speak with the media. 54 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks with us now from Los Angeles, and he's 55 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 2: priority number one this week, the health of the quarterback. 56 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 2: He did not practice today, Trevor Lawrence. So we're just 57 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 2: waiting to see that five step process to get through 58 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 2: the concussion protocol. 59 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 5: Had good afternoon, Buck, Yeah, what's up, guys? Yeah, I 60 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 5: mean number sixteen is the main concern. You want to 61 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 5: see if your franchise quarterback is going to be available 62 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 5: for this weekend game and why you're doing that. You 63 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 5: also want to get CJ beth Or to backup ready 64 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 5: to play, because no matter what, they gonna kick the 65 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 5: ball off on Sunday, and whoever's taking snaps has to 66 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 5: be ready to play and ready to play at a 67 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 5: high level. 68 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, and this feels again it's sort of washed Rents 69 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 6: repeat in the sense that CJ has been here before. 70 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 6: I don't think it's insignificant when he talks about he's 71 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 6: practiced more this year than he I would. 72 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 7: Think has in the first two years. 73 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 6: Maybe he practiced a couple of times after the Lions 74 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 6: thing last year, but he's got more practice, you know. 75 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 6: It's I think this is even more so. My sense 76 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 6: is players in the locker room are fully planning to 77 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 6: play Sunday with the idea that Trevor won't be out there. 78 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 6: Not that they didn't before, but to me, this is 79 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,119 Speaker 6: would be far more surprising than either of the first two, 80 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 6: only because this one's not about his want to. This 81 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 6: is about tests, whether her passes or not. So this 82 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 6: is not where he can't be willis reed limping out 83 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 6: there on this one. It has to pass through. It 84 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,119 Speaker 6: won't be about his desire, so Bucky, I think that's 85 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 6: their preparation mindset is we had figured out a way 86 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 6: to win this with CJ. And I kind of think 87 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 6: it's about what it would have been with Trevor, which is, 88 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,559 Speaker 6: hold on to the ball, don't make mistakes on offense, 89 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 6: and see if you can win if you don't give 90 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 6: the game away. 91 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 8: Yeah. Look, I'm with you. I'm with you on that. 92 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 5: And we've seen so many teams have to deal with 93 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 5: this issue when it comes to the quarterback. I mean, look, 94 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 5: the last few weeks, we've seen backup quarterbacks kind of 95 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 5: come through for their respective teams. We'll go all the 96 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 5: way back to Cincinnati had to play with Jake Browning, 97 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 5: we had Cleveland playing with Joe Flacco. We've seen it 98 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 5: time and time again. The expectation doesn't change, I think 99 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,679 Speaker 5: for this team, regardless of who plans quarterback, it doesn't 100 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 5: really impact the issues that take place. The communication issues, 101 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 5: the pre snapped penalties, turnovers, all of those things. Those 102 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,839 Speaker 5: things to be cleaned up regardless of whether Trevor Lawrence 103 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 5: was starting or not. And so I think the focus 104 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 5: has to be on cleaning up those issues regardless of 105 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 5: who starts on Sunday. 106 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 6: And to sort of extrapolate on that, I guess, extrapolate 107 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 6: or if you. 108 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 8: Will, whatever big words you want to use. 109 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 2: You dropped Willis Reid on us a minute ago. 110 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 6: Now I don't have bucketism, so I have to I 111 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 6: have to pitch in where I can't. Uh, you know 112 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 6: it's I don't think it's absurd to think that the 113 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 6: Jaguars could have the same kind of opportunities offensively as 114 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 6: they did against the Ravens. Meaning would it surprise you 115 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 6: if against the Bucks, CJ put him in field goal 116 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 6: range a couple of times in the first half. Uh, 117 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 6: it got him in the red zone a few times 118 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 6: during the game, and they did the dad of the night. 119 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 6: And the problem is they couldn't close the drives, so 120 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 6: make field goals convert once in a while when you're 121 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 6: down there. I could see him getting twenty and I 122 00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 6: think it will be a twenty three to twenty game. 123 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 6: We the other I think if the Jaguars play the 124 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 6: clean game that Doug's been talking about for weeks and 125 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 6: they haven't done, this would not be a mammoth upset. 126 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 7: It's it's a one point line. So I don't think. 127 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 6: It's because of the way they've played. I think there 128 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 6: are fans who think, well, there's just no way there, 129 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 6: you know, it's over, et cetera, et cetera. I don't 130 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 6: see it this I don't see it this way at all. 131 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 6: I do think this game will show us something about 132 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 6: this team. Do they have the you know, the maturity, 133 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 6: the the whatever it is that wills a team to 134 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 6: win in this situation? To me, Bucky, playoff teams have 135 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 6: that non playoff teams, don't. They have to show they're 136 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:42,360 Speaker 6: that kind of a team. 137 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 8: Yeah. 138 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 5: I mean, we can talk about it, but in essence 139 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 5: is it's a three game season and if they take 140 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 5: care of business, they will be what we thought they were, 141 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 5: which is a division winner going into the postseason. It 142 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 5: may not have been as impressive as we would like it, 143 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 5: but it doesn't matter. 144 00:06:58,680 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 8: At the end of the day. 145 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 5: You want to be one of the sevent teams that 146 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 5: has a ticket to the dance, and if you earn 147 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 5: the right to get into the postseason, you get a 148 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 5: chance to reset the clock, you get a chance to refocus, 149 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 5: and you can rewrite the narrative on your season. This 150 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 5: is about them finding a way to be one point 151 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 5: better than Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. No matter how 152 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 5: that gets done, whether that's the defense pitching the shutout, 153 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 5: whether it's the offense being able to score to forty 154 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 5: points or Jamal Agnam in the special teams leading away 155 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 5: all hands on deck. 156 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 8: It's an opportunity for this team to win. 157 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 5: And there's some positive signs that you could take out 158 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 5: of the last game against Baltimore that could lead this 159 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,679 Speaker 5: team to play better against Tampa. 160 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 8: They just have to put it all together on the 161 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 8: main stage. 162 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 2: I got a question for the former player. 163 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 8: Bucky Okay, former player ready. 164 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 2: So we've seen it a couple of times, as you were. 165 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 2: Trevor's played through legacies, right a knee injury and then 166 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 2: the high ankle spring. This was a little different. But 167 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 2: you know what happens if he's clear and all of 168 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 2: a sudden Saturday, it's like light I mean, are they 169 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 2: doing two plans? And how does that affect an offense 170 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 2: when you've got to maybe figure out life without him 171 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden he's back, Like what happened? 172 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 2: How different would it look? 173 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 5: Well, I mean, the one thing that you have with 174 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 5: Trevor is you have your full compliment of plays. The 175 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 5: offense has been built with Trevor Lawrence in mind, and 176 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 5: so you just go back to your normal game plan. 177 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 8: When you have CJ. 178 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 5: Bethard, there's some tweaks and adjustment that you have to 179 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 5: make to accommodate his talent, and what you want to 180 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 5: do is accentuate different parts of his game than you 181 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 5: would Trevor. 182 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 8: Coaches typically operate. 183 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 5: With both of those things in mind, because at any 184 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 5: point Trevor Lawrence could go down with the ankle sprain 185 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:42,359 Speaker 5: in the midst. 186 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 2: Of a game. 187 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 5: You have to be able to call the game with 188 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 5: CJ on the field, so it won't change much of anything. 189 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 5: Your practice, those plays, some of the players are staple 190 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 5: plays that it doesn't matter who the quarterback is. But 191 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,599 Speaker 5: this week you probably have called more plays and practice 192 00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 5: that are. 193 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 8: Designed specifically for CJ. Bes. 194 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 5: But if Trevor plays, you go back to your main stuff. 195 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 5: And look, let's be honest, there may be a silver 196 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 5: lining in all of this. If Trevor does play, maybe 197 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 5: because of the way that he hasn't been able to practice, 198 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 5: maybe everything is smaller, a smaller menu, things that condense down. 199 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 5: They're kind of doing their day one day two installs 200 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 5: in training camp and maybe just maybe by cutting down 201 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 5: the volume, they'll get a better performance from the players 202 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 5: because everyone knows exactly what they're doing. 203 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 2: Plenty ahead. We'll come back in a moment and flip 204 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 2: into the Jaguars defense against this Bucks offense and Baker 205 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 2: Mayfield and Mike Evans and Godwin and they're playing some 206 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 2: pretty good football down in Tampa these days. A little later, 207 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 2: a Bucks linebacker and a Jaguars staffer have a connection 208 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 2: from way back.

But I appreciate him 253 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 8: being in holiday mood. 254 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 5: I think everyone should be excited about the holidays this 255 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 5: time of year, even in the midst of a three 256 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 5: game losing street. 257 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 8: Hopefully there's a little cheer around the bill. 258 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 7: Hey, Christmas is the gift getting season. 259 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 2: It is? It certainly is. Hey, you don't need to 260 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 2: give Baker any gifts. He's earning him on his own 261 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 2: right now, Bucky? And why is he playing so well? 262 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,959 Speaker 2: Why is this offense playing so well in Tampa? 263 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 5: Well, I think Baker has a lot of confidence because 264 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 5: debate the offense has been Taylor made to fit his talents. Uh, 265 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 5: Drew can nalyis coming over from Seattle, has has looked 266 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 5: at how Baker performed first in the Rams offense and 267 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 5: has done a lot of the stuff that they were 268 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 5: doing there. It's a combination of some of the movement 269 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 5: stuff that is associated to the play action passing game 270 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 5: that people that subscribe to that Shanahan system like to utilize, 271 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 5: but they've also made it Baker friendly by spreading it 272 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 5: out quick rhythm throws, things that he did really well 273 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 5: at Oklahoma. And it's worked because Baker has finally kind 274 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 5: of grown comfortable in his own skin and in the 275 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,320 Speaker 5: style of play that he has to utilize to be 276 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 5: effective in the National Football League. 277 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 8: So the ball is out quickly. 278 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 5: He trust his playmakers because they do have really good 279 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 5: playmakers around him, and Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, Rashad 280 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 5: White has kind of stepped up and done some things. 281 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 5: And so this team and this offense and everything fits. 282 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,719 Speaker 5: So the system fits the player, which is why the 283 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 5: player is playing so well. 284 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. 285 00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 6: It also, you know, we're talking about Baker, but there's 286 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 6: only one Hall of Famer in this game, and he 287 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 6: plays for the Bucks. Yeah, I mean, and other guys 288 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 6: might eventually make it it. Mike Evans the guy if 289 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 6: he quits. Now he goes to campon so well, I mean, 290 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 6: I can't imagine they're not being in. 291 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 2: He said a thousand yards every year of his career. 292 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean he's an elite player who all I 293 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 6: know is every time I watch highlights on a Sunday night, 294 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 6: I watched Mike Evans scoring and so that's to me is, 295 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 6: you know, in games like this late where I expect 296 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 6: this to be a close game in the fourth quarter, 297 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 6: he's the guy you got to keep from making a 298 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 6: play and beating you, and it gives them a chance 299 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,119 Speaker 6: when you have a Hall of Fame guy. 300 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 7: In the skilled position on the other team. 301 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 6: So that that worries me against the Jaguars defense that 302 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 6: is in the bottom five of the league against the past, 303 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 6: and has been beaten up in the secondary and has 304 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 6: given up it's share of big plays in recent weeks. 305 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 6: Didn't do it last week, but it's share a big play. 306 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 6: So I'm not afraid to make I'm scared JP Mike. 307 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Evan's scares you. And then that opens up 308 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 2: god one who last week Bucky put up numbers. 309 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, he put up numbers, you know, like he's kind 310 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 5: of the beneficiary of the squeaky wheel getting a little grease. 311 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 8: He didn't touch the ball much the previous week. Wife 312 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 8: complained a little bit, and lo and behold, he. 313 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 5: Had a big he had a big week, and so 314 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 5: he's motivated. He's back involved in the game plan. And 315 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 5: they have two guys that can give you a lot 316 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 5: of problems. Both of them are size guys with the 317 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 5: ability to win the fifty to fifty balls down the field. 318 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 5: So the matchups would be everything, and who's available in 319 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 5: the secondary could go a long way to determine how 320 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 5: Mike Calwell has to play. But let me say this, 321 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 5: because this comes on the heels of last week. There 322 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 5: were a lot of people upset and I heard like 323 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 5: people being critical of the defense because they finished with 324 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 5: the Ravens finished with over two hundred yards on the ground. 325 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 5: Lamar Jackson had almost one hundred yards on the ground, 326 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 5: But some of that was by design. They wanted to 327 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 5: allow them to kind of do whatever they wanted to do. 328 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 5: Between the twittings, they played really good defense in the 329 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 5: red zone and for the look most of the game, 330 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 5: they did that because the point told the twenty three points, 331 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 5: that's enough for you to be able to win if 332 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 5: your defense doesn't serve up big plays and doesn't give 333 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 5: up points offensively, we haven't matched yet. I think they'll 334 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 5: adopt a similart strategy against the Buccaneers. Won't give up 335 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 5: the big plays, keep it underneath, rally and tackle, and 336 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 5: you hope when the ball gets to the twenty yard 337 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 5: line you can force threes instead of sevens. 338 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 8: And if you do that, you should be able to 339 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 8: get enough points to win. 340 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. 341 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 7: I thought that game. I completely agree with that. 342 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 6: They for three quarters, you had them at ten, and 343 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 6: had you gave them one when you turn the ball over, 344 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 6: so I the defense gave him a chance to win. 345 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,800 Speaker 6: And had they gotten twelve points that were right there 346 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 6: for the taking in the first half, then you're up. 347 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 6: It doesn't always play out this way, but theoretically, then 348 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 6: you're up nineteen to ten at least when Agne hits 349 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 6: the big play. Now you're midway through the third quarter, 350 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 6: and now the Ravens have to have two scores, so 351 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 6: they're playing uphill. They're not able to play the way 352 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 6: they love to play. And then I think, you know it. 353 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 6: The yards didn't bother me at all the other night 354 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,679 Speaker 6: on defense, I thought to put themselves in a position 355 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 6: to win. I have a question for the game planner, 356 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 6: which and I'm usually not big on Okay, this guy 357 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 6: was on this staff, so this matters this whatever. But 358 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 6: Mike Caldwell, obviously the Bucks know how he thinks defensively, 359 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 6: anything to that any advantage there for Tampa and just 360 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 6: sort of knowing how he likes to attack. 361 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 5: I think the thing will be because he wasn't the 362 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 5: defensive play called in Tampa. 363 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 7: He's a disciple of that. 364 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 8: Yeah, he's a disciple of that system. 365 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,360 Speaker 5: I think if anything, it probably helps the Jaguars more 366 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 5: so than it helps the Buccaneers. Old Will worked on 367 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 5: the Tie Bowles Toy Bowles still call that defense. Mike 368 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 5: Callwill knows the ins and outs of not only the scheme, 369 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 5: but he knows how the play caller thinks. 370 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 8: He should be able to relay that information to Doug 371 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 8: and Press and to be able. 372 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 5: To give them very kind of clear ideals on how 373 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 5: ty Bowles likes to approach red zone situations, third and long, 374 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 5: What does he like to call when the game is 375 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 5: on the line, what does his pet call, what does 376 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:27,239 Speaker 5: he want to go to? 377 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 8: How does he think about certain things? 378 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 5: I think it's a little more mysterious for Todd Bowles 379 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 5: trying to figure out his disciple because he never had 380 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,679 Speaker 5: to work with Mike Calewell calling the game, so he 381 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,959 Speaker 5: may not have the same feel that Mike Callwell should have. 382 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 2: For Tye Bowles, I have a question about that process. 383 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 2: I mean, is that a meeting you have like in 384 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 2: the off season when you see the schedule come out, 385 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 2: or I mean it seems like it might be too 386 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 2: busy this week to go through that. I mean, when 387 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:55,959 Speaker 2: do they talk about this stuff? 388 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 8: I mean, I think it's a refresh. 389 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 5: I still think you game plan independently of what Calwell's 390 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 5: thoughts are, but I think he can add context too well. 391 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 5: Why would they call this like we see this blitz 392 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 5: show up sometimes on third down? 393 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 8: Why does he like to do that? And he can 394 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,679 Speaker 8: tell him A and third and long. He's thinking more. 395 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 5: Zone dogs than man dogs because zone dogs he wants 396 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 5: the ball to come out, but he wants to have 397 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 5: visions so he can rally and tackle these situations. He 398 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 5: wants to play more man demand because of whatever the 399 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 5: philosophy is, it's more context to trying to fill in 400 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 5: the gaps for some of the things that will show 401 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 5: up on tape. 402 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 8: It won't necessarily be able to give them. 403 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 5: The predictor, but will it will allow them to kind 404 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 5: of build the game plan having a better understanding of 405 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 5: who they're facing from a play calling standpoint. 406 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 2: Zone Dog that's actually John's nickname. 407 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 6: It really is zone Dog, zone whatever, just different variations. 408 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 2: We're back in a moment. We'll flip it around to 409 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 2: the Jaguars offense against this Bucks defense. And yes, a 410 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:06,040 Speaker 2: connection of sorts between a Bucks linebacker and a Jaguars staffer.

But it's no excuse for us not to 427 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 3: continue to sustain and move people. 428 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,919 Speaker 2: That's the head coach, of course. Doug Peterson earlier today 429 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,160 Speaker 2: discussing the Jaguars run game and some things they might 430 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 2: be able to do down the stretch, and it'shuddle up 431 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 2: with Bucky Brooks. Hey p Shadwick, John Oser and you 432 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 2: guessed it, Bucky Brooks in Los Angeles Pro Bowl. Voting 433 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 2: is now live through December twenty fifth. Be sure to 434 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 2: cast your vote for which Jaggars players you'd like to 435 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 2: see there by going to Jaguars dot com Slash Pro Bowl. Well, 436 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 2: that's that's one side of it, obviously, the offensive line 437 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 2: and moving people. As Doug put it. I asked Travis 438 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 2: etn Jr. In the locker room a little bit ago, 439 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 2: you know what stands out the most against the about 440 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,239 Speaker 2: the Buccaneers defense. The first thing he said, Bucky was 441 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 2: Vita Vea. That guy is huge, So that's number one, 442 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 2: and that front seven, they've got some veteran guys, and 443 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,239 Speaker 2: this is a group that's been at it for a 444 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 2: long time really overall. 445 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, look, it's a real veteran laden group. 446 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 5: They have talent at the point of attack along their 447 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 5: front line, which is the front seven. 448 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 8: Linebackers in D line, and when you can't. 449 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 5: Move them off the ball, it's hard to find increases 450 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 5: in the run game. 451 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 8: Vita Vea is a freak show at three. 452 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 5: Hundred and fifty pounds if you can imagine that. The 453 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 5: look the run stopping Menace was a running back in 454 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 5: high school, like they actually gave him the ball as 455 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 5: a heavyweight, high. 456 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 8: To ninety runner. He has light feed, he's athletic, He's 457 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 8: gonna be a problem. 458 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 5: And then when you think about the linebacker corps, Levonte 459 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 5: David veteran with experience, Antoine Winfield coming from safety, being 460 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 5: able to kind of dial it up and really diagnose 461 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 5: plays really well, some really rock solid front. 462 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 8: That you have to contend with. 463 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 6: It is and yet they haven't been great this year 464 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 6: as a defense. So I know White has not quite 465 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 6: had the year that he has before. But Antoine Winfield 466 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 6: is playing an extremely high level obviously, so it's gettable. 467 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 6: What I don't know really, and I guess this is 468 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 6: a question for Bucky, who's wears many hats. Is there 469 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 6: anything that can be done to jumpstart the running game 470 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 6: or I kind of think I kind of hate even 471 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 6: asking the question anymore because I've kind of taken the 472 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 6: approach until we see it. There's really not They have 473 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 6: declined running the ball for a month, any hope there, 474 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 6: because that's that'd be your logical with CJ out, I mean, 475 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 6: with Trevor out and CJ in. You'd like to be 476 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 6: able to run consistently, Bucky, Yeah, you would like to be. 477 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,399 Speaker 8: Able to run consistently, not only for CJ. 478 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 5: Bethort, but for Trevor Lawrence and whoever's that quarterback. Because 479 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 5: when you run the football, what it does is it 480 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,719 Speaker 5: creates some one on one opportunities that allows it for 481 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,479 Speaker 5: you to pass more efficiently, meaning that no longer can 482 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,479 Speaker 5: they play split safety coverage with two safeties either on 483 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 5: the hashes playing cover too deep or quarters where you 484 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 5: have like four cross spitting the field and twenty five 485 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 5: percent respectively. You now have to do some eight man 486 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:27,679 Speaker 5: fronts one on one coverage. 487 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 8: It allows your guys Calvin Ridley and others to work 488 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 8: in advantageous situations. 489 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 5: So they need to run the football to make the 490 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 5: Buccaneers respect to run, so they can dictate the terms 491 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 5: on these early downs, so they maybe can set up 492 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 5: a shot or two to Calvin Ridley or Evan Ingram 493 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 5: going down the field. 494 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 2: I mean, Bucky, you know to run on first down? 495 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 2: Ideally you want to get about four yards right at 496 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 2: least that makes it second and six. But just explain 497 00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 2: to maybe the casual fan difference between second and six 498 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 2: and like second and nine. How big of a difference 499 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 2: is that for a play call. 500 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 5: Well, it's a huge difference because as a play caller, 501 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 5: everyone wants to get to what they call mixed downs. 502 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 5: So mixed downs on second that would be anywhere from 503 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 5: second and three to second and six. It's a mix 504 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 5: down because now the defense has to respect the run 505 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 5: and the past because you just don't know how the 506 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 5: offensive coordinator will mix it up. When you get to 507 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 5: these longer yardist situations where you can predict that it's 508 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 5: more than likely a pass coming, well, now you can 509 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:32,959 Speaker 5: start doing the junk stuff. 510 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 8: The exotic blitzes, the stunts. 511 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,959 Speaker 5: The movement, the bluff, and the skies because you know, hey, 512 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 5: let's take the run off the table. They're going to pass. 513 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,160 Speaker 5: How can we best dis ru up the passing game. 514 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 8: That's why it's really. 515 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 5: Important when you hear offensive coordinators and coaches talking about 516 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,639 Speaker 5: staying on schedule. On schedule means that at each down 517 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 5: in situation, we now have an opportunity to have a 518 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 5: mix down. Because we're on schedule, we can run it 519 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 5: through based on what we wish as opposed to what 520 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:03,880 Speaker 5: the defense is dictating to us. 521 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 2: Levante David we saw him on that list a moment 522 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 2: ago of player second on the team tackles. He's been 523 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 2: at this thing for a long time now. Obviously, you know, 524 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 2: great player for a long time in the league. Twenty 525 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 2: twelve draft pick. He's been with the Bucks his entire career. 526 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 2: He finished his college career at Nebraska, but he started 527 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 2: how about this connection. He started his college career in 528 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 2: community college Fort Scott in Kansas. Guests who played against 529 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 2: him in community college offensive coordinator Press Taylor was the 530 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 2: quarterback at Butler Community College. They played against each other 531 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 2: in two thousand and eight Bucky. In the regular season, 532 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,239 Speaker 2: Press Taylor's team, Butler won twenty four to seven and 533 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 2: went on to their second consecutive Junior college national championship 534 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 2: that year. But Leavonte David was on the Fort Scott 535 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 2: team along with Jason Pierre Paul on that team, that's 536 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 2: a heck of a lineup on the other side, and 537 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 2: Press Taylor smoked him. How about that? 538 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 5: Yeah, Press Taylor, you're talking about bull The bullet was 539 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 5: always has always been a juco power, So I'm not 540 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 5: surprised that Press Taylor was on the winning end of 541 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 5: that situation. But it's kind of crazy, man, small world, 542 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 5: How thing comes how things come full circle when it 543 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 5: comes to the guys that you play against you ultimately 544 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 5: end up coaching against, or you know you're coaching he's 545 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 5: playing one of those other things. 546 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,360 Speaker 8: It's a unique situation though. 547 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 2: You gotta remember Press is thirty five years old. 548 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 6: You know, at first you think it says Merry Christmas, 549 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 6: but then it says Mary. Yeah, I mean it's a 550 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 6: small world. 551 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's come back. I thought you'd have more for that, John, 552 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 2: It's great, thanks a lot. I have a feeling this 553 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,160 Speaker 2: is pre planned because I know you I know people 554 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 2: around you. We're back in a moment our final thoughts. 555 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 2: Thank goodness. 556 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 10: This is Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks. 557 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:19,680 Speaker 2: Welcome back. It is Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks' final moments. 558 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 2: On this Wednesday afternoon, I had of Week sixteen the 559 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 2: Jaguars and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Raymond James Stadium, Tampa. 560 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 2: What was that road Dale, Mabrey Dale, Mayby, Yeah, where 561 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 2: the stadium is down there. So that's Christmas Eve four 562 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 2: h five kickoff. On the way back from Tampa, you 563 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 2: might pass some rain deer in the sky. 564 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 7: Just make sure you don't hit the sligh. 565 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's important. 566 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 6: Make sure that pie. And as you're talking about doing 567 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 6: the break, Japey, look, you sent some frustration from Jaguars fans, disappointment, whatever. 568 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 6: But what Doug said on Monday's right. The reality here 569 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 6: is you're in first place with three games to go, 570 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 6: and and no matter how you've gotten there, I guess what, JP, 571 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 6: we've only covered two division champions around here. This is 572 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 6: only the third time since we've been doing it together 573 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 6: that they've been in first place at this time. Yeah, 574 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 6: only it's only happened seven or eight times. In franchise history, 575 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 6: so as as disappointing you maybe with the way they've played. 576 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 6: If you're a fan following this an observer, this is 577 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 6: still why you're in it. And teams have gotten to 578 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,960 Speaker 6: the postseason in weirder situations than this, more beat up 579 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 6: than this, more so records. This can be where some 580 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 6: of the best memories you're created. Hey remember that time CJ. 581 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 6: Bethard came out. You know, this can be where history 582 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 6: is written too. So in that sense, these are so 583 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 6: very interesting and the Bucks game is really really big, 584 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 6: and maybe they win it, that's mine out. 585 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 2: They went, oh you hear that? Got a maybe got 586 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 2: a Johnt. 587 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 6: I know, Buck, you'll lock it because he's the eternal optimist. 588 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,080 Speaker 7: But I can't lock this. 589 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 5: Well, I mean I can't necessarily lock it, but I 590 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 5: am optimistic that it will find a way to get it, 591 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 5: to get it done. 592 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:15,560 Speaker 8: I do believe, you. 593 00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 5: Know, Like the funny thing about the season, it takes 594 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 5: all these twists and turns, but then you end up 595 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 5: having like a three game season to determine whether you 596 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 5: get into the tournament. And at the end of the day, 597 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 5: the only thing that really matters in the NFL is 598 00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,239 Speaker 5: can you get into the tournament Because it resets you 599 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 5: then have an opportunity to kind of make it what 600 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 5: it is that you want to happen in terms of 601 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 5: being a super Bowl team in those things. And so 602 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 5: when you really look at it, Tampa is a solid team, 603 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 5: but it just as up and down as any team. 604 00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 8: In the National Football League. 605 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 5: They had a great performance last week against the Green 606 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 5: Bay package team, but that package team lost to the 607 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 5: Giants the week before. So I say all that to say, 608 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 5: who knows man on Sunday, The Jaguars just need to 609 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,719 Speaker 5: be the best team in the stadium. We don't need 610 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 5: to make it bigger than what it is. They just 611 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 5: need to play well. If they play well, most teams will. 612 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 8: Have a tough time knocking them off. It's just been 613 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 8: a long time since we've seen the Jaguars play well. 614 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 8: But if you look and try. 615 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 5: And find some silver linings from how they perform defensively, 616 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 5: they played a pretty good game against the Baltimore Ravens 617 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 5: take away the stats special teams wise, they had big 618 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 5: players from Jamal Agnew did a really good job covering 619 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 5: and doing those things you got to fix. 620 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 8: Brandon McManus in his situation. 621 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,720 Speaker 5: Missing those two field goals kind of changed some of 622 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 5: the momentum in the game, and then you just need 623 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,120 Speaker 5: the offense to can be more consistent. Hadn't been able 624 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 5: to run the ball, but did a pretty decent job 625 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 5: of throwing it around. 626 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:40,959 Speaker 8: Just got to put it all together. Hopefully we can 627 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 8: put it all together on Sunday. 628 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 6: Only Super Bowl champion I ever covered was two thousand 629 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 6: and six Colts. They lost three games in December to 630 00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 6: three division teams on the road that didn't make the playoffs, 631 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 6: and they won the Super Bowl. 632 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 8: So I just got to get in. 633 00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:57,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, you get in. 634 00:31:58,000 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 6: You play well in the last couple of games, and 635 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,840 Speaker 6: better about yourself. I'm not saying I don't think this 636 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 6: seems super Bowl team, but point being, that was the 637 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 6: team that gave up three in City Foord three and 638 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 6: centy five yards rushing out out here in Indianapolis. Thought 639 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 6: their season was over. Me and the fans, they thought 640 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 6: it was a disaster. It was terrible, and he won 641 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 6: the Super Bowl. So you can pull out of these funks. 642 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 6: You just have to do it, and you have to 643 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 6: eliminate your mistakes. 644 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 2: Hey, Bucky, I don't know if you heard, but John 645 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 2: used to work for the Colts. 646 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I did, I did. I did hear that. 647 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,920 Speaker 5: It's the only time that we made reference to that 648 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 5: this podcast, but normally we kind of try and get 649 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:34,600 Speaker 5: that into at least once. 650 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 8: Sure a podcast. 651 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 7: Wouldn't go back.
