  Speaker 1: Welcome to Teal Talk, the official Jacksonville Jaguars podcast in
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the UK and Ireland, presented by Gallagher.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: I'm Jay Lawrence. Hey, a bit of a different one today.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: We are out on location. This is nice. This is
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: fresh air. Oh, it's nice. I'm enjoying this. All right,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: I'm Jay Lawrence, no relation. And this, of course, is
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Jason Bell. I mean, how's it going, man? You enjoying
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: this week?
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: I'm loving it. I've got my colors on because I'm
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: representing the Jacksonville Jaguars. I'm excited, man. What a game
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: we have on our hands. loving this team, coming back
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: from adversity. It's going to be a good time. This
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: is the place to be. Look at us on location,
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: fresh air. It's game time.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're at the Team Hotel just outside of London.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: And of course, over the last, you know, hour or so,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: we've both sat down with players and you're going to
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: hear from some a little bit later. Antonio Johnson's going
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: to be on the podcast a little bit later on.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: J-Bell will be back and we'll be talking about that game.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I don't even know if I need to even say
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: who played that game, the Jags-Eagles. The other person that
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: one of us has spoken to over the last hour
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: or so, we share a surname and I'm... Very different
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: in stature.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: J-Bell, you spoke with Trevor Lawrence. How did that go?
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Okay, love Trevor Lawrence. And yes, I spoke with him.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: I've been able to do that every year for the
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: past five years or so. And each year I learn
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: something new about him. I mean, he's a great interviewee.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Really gives you a lot. Great conversations. But just watching
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: him this year, I was talking about things I saw
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: him do on the field. And his recall of what
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: was happening in those moments was key. And that's the
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: one thing you want to see out of an elite playmaker,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: especially at a quarterback position. Talking a lot about how
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: the demands on him at the line of scrimmage, getting
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: in and out of checks, so many plays he has
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: to be responsible for. But yet he's cool, calm, and collective.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Love the fact that he showed some emotion out there.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Love that. The team feeds off that. He knows it.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: But this is a guy who's playing at the top
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: of the level at the quarterback position, just getting better.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: And we get to see him out here against a
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: great defense. But love him, big fan of him, as
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: we all know. But it's because of his humility and
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: his push towards excellence.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: You know, one thing I kind of want to know,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and I asked Antonio Johnson this, and we'll hear from him,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: as I say, a little bit later on. But when
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you have a game like that with such a crazy ending,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: we're going to hear from people, from the players in
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the locker.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Room after shortly as well.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: But how do you, and I'm wondering if you even
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: broached the subject, how do you put that behind you?
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Because you know you've got a game in a few days' time.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Man, that is a great question because it is so emotional, right?
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: So how do you recharge those emotional batteries? Because it's difficult, man.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: You put so much there out on the field, especially
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: at the end of the game. So this is what
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: the coach has got to do, and the player has
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: got to be responsible with moving on. Obviously, you want
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: to live in that moment. You want to take it
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: into practice to fix the things that need to be corrected,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: but yet you need to now push forward, and you
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: need to remind yourself, and you need to constantly be
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: aware of that because if you don't, you can go
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: into this game and be flat out exhausted because that
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: game took a lot.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: You know, and you just touched on it a moment
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: ago as well. You said about, you know, Trevor Lawrence
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: showing emotion and that was something that really stood out.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Even watching the game in the stands, this cool, calm
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and collected quarterback was borderline screaming at his offensive line.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: You know, what did he say about that?
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: You know, you scream at those guys because you have
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: a good relationship. There are guys, you know, you can
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: call out because they're not going to take it personally.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: But everybody else is going to look at it, especially
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: when you're close to them, like your offensive line, and think, well,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: if he's screaming at them, I better act right. And
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: those guys know we're in this together. So it's one
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: of those things like you see a head coach always
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: yell at the quarterback. Because if I'm checking the quarterback,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: everybody else better be aware of what they need to fix.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: So it's one of those things where you go and
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: you talk to guys you really have strong relationships with
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: and you call them out in front of everybody else.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: So it puts everybody else in check. I mean, he
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: loves his O-line. I mean, you see how they hang
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: out together. Those are his guys. And when he calls
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: them out, there's a reason for that. But I loved it.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: All right, J-Bell, you're going to be back with us
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: a little bit later. A bit of a weird podcast
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: in a way because we're sort of like, you know,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: time traveling because we've already recorded the bit that we're
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: going to speak about a little bit later on. But
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: at the moment, we're going to travel even further backwards.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: We'll go to Sunday. We'll go to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: in the locker room where I spoke to Cam Little,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker, Eric Armstead.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Amir Abdullah. And the man with two touchdowns, Parker Washington.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Talk to me about the celebration, man. You like that?
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Do you know who it was? It was Adebayo, yeah?
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Bellingham.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Oh, Drew Bellingham. I couldn't get it.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm obviously not as athletic as he is,
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: so I can't make it look as cool, but yeah,
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: I was copying Bellingham.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: How did that feel?
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: So sick.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: It's my childhood dream. Like, I grew up playing soccer. Obviously,
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: I want to hit a soccer celebration at a soccer stadium,
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: so it was unbelievable.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: One big question is, what the hell just happened?
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, seriously, I can't even tell you the answer to
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: that question. It went from them hitting a game-winner to
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: me hitting a game-winner.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: It was stupid.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: But, I mean, dude, it couldn't happen without, obviously, Devon
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: Hamilton coming in for a big spot. People don't realize
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: how hard that snap is. And Amir Abdullah freaking trucking
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: down the field, giving us an opportunity.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: It's an unreal moment.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Quick message for the Jags fans in the U.K.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Oh, get in. Come on.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: In your best English accent, can you do that?
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Get in, bro.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Come on.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: Get in.
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: Appreciate that.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Appreciate that. Thanks, man. You just talked me through the
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: end of that game.
• 5:41
  Speaker 8: Man, it felt like an out-of-body experience, man.
• 5:45
  Speaker 9: We knew we just had to get in proximity, close
• 5:48
  Speaker 9: to the middle of the field. We got a fantastic kicker,
• 5:51
  Speaker 9: so if we can get there, we had a chance. And, man,
• 5:54
  Speaker 9: they gave us a chance on the kick. perfectly executed
• 5:57
  Speaker 9: by the kickoff return team timing was great and uh
• 6:00
  Speaker 9: thank goodness i was able to get down in time
• 6:02
  Speaker 9: to go get that that field goal and shout out
• 6:05
  Speaker 9: to devon hamilton stepping up at long snapper a long
• 6:08
  Speaker 9: snapper went out early in the game he's a d
• 6:10
  Speaker 9: tackle that's not normal i know a lot of people
• 6:12
  Speaker 9: don't know much about american football but that's crazy for
• 6:15
  Speaker 9: him to snap and be on cue in that moment
• 6:17
  Speaker 9: for us to.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Get a go ahead to win field goal amazing You know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: you got down there, as you say, like a second left.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: How much of that was on purpose? Let's be frank,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: was it like luck to the end of the day?
• 6:29
  Speaker 9: Yeah, no, the thing I had trouble with is the
• 6:32
  Speaker 9: clocks here are in different locations than they are in America,
• 6:34
  Speaker 9: so I knew I had about eight seconds on the kick.
• 6:37
  Speaker 9: And when I got around midfield, I had counted kind
• 6:40
  Speaker 9: of like six seconds in my head, so I couldn't
• 6:42
  Speaker 9: find the clock, so I just got down. I just
• 6:44
  Speaker 9: was hoping so, but we practice situationally, things like that,
• 6:47
  Speaker 9: and I'm just glad we were.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Able to come up with one second left.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Obviously, this is the first of two games of Jags
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to play. And, I mean, the Jags fans in the
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: house today, I mean, they've just been treated to an incredible.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: End to the game. Have you got a message for them?
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: It ain't over until it's over.
• 6:59
  Speaker 9: And we appreciate you guys coming out and supporting. Once again,
• 7:02
  Speaker 9: we're just a small.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: Market team, right? Duval, baby.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Eric, I just want you to explain to me what
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the hell just happened.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Man, who knows? Football is crazy.
• 7:14
  Speaker 10: You know, you couldn't write a better script, you know,
• 7:17
  Speaker 10: a more entertaining game back and forth. and for it
• 7:20
  Speaker 10: to end in that fashion, you know, it's definitely exciting
• 7:24
  Speaker 10: for a lot of fans.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: I see why people love football so much.
• 7:26
  Speaker 10: I get excited, you know, even though I'm playing out
• 7:28
  Speaker 10: there in the game, I'm like, dang, I know the
• 7:30
  Speaker 10: people watching were tuned in to this one.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's an unbelievable ending. How was the
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: rest of the game, though, for you?
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Because, I mean, it was kind of like, I imagine
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: it just seemed quite a frustrating game on the whole.
• 7:41
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, there was, you know, ups and downs
• 7:43
  Speaker 10: throughout the game.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: That's why you just keep playing. You just keep going,
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: keep playing.
• 7:48
  Speaker 10: And give it your all out there, and I wouldn't
• 7:50
  Speaker 10: want to go to war with anyone else besides this team.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: And obviously you've got one more game left in the
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: UK as well.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: How much of a difference does having this win in
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: this manner make over the next few days?
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: It's huge. It definitely feels good.
• 8:06
  Speaker 10: We've got a division opponent, so we can enjoy this
• 8:09
  Speaker 10: for a little bit, and then we've got to get going.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Appreciate that. Thank you so much. Have you played in
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: many games that ended like that?
• 8:16
  Speaker 11: I'd have played in some crazy games, but this one,
• 8:19
  Speaker 11: it'll definitely have to rank as.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: Probably one of the top, I'd probably say top two
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: for sure.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: It's hard.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: I think it might get that one spot for sure.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, you traveled all the way over here.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: I know you're here for a little while, but you
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: get the flight, you've got everything, like the logistics, everything
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: to worry about. I mean, getting the victory is going
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: to be great, but when it's in this manner, it's
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: just so much sweeter, I imagine.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: 100%, man.
• 8:38
  Speaker 11: We definitely didn't travel all this way to just come
• 8:41
  Speaker 11: out here for vacation. We definitely came out here to work,
• 8:43
  Speaker 11: but Along while we're out here working, sometimes we might
• 8:46
  Speaker 11: get a little bit of downtime here and there. It's
• 8:48
  Speaker 11: a beautiful place to be, and I feel like we
• 8:50
  Speaker 11: do a pretty good job of, you know what I'm saying,
• 8:52
  Speaker 11: when we're in that mode of what we have work
• 8:54
  Speaker 11: to do, and we're handling business, but once there's that
• 8:56
  Speaker 11: time where we can just relax just a little bit.
• 8:59
  Speaker 11: I don't like using the word relax, but you know
• 9:01
  Speaker 11: what I'm saying, when we're not really too much into
• 9:03
  Speaker 11: the football stuff, then we're able to enjoy London.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: People here today that won't be Jags fans, that won't
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: necessarily be Eagles fans, They're here.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Just to see some NFL. Do you have a message
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: for them?
• 9:16
  Speaker 11: Man, I really want to just say thank everybody for
• 9:19
  Speaker 11: the support, whether they support.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Obviously, I want them to support our team, obviously.
• 9:22
  Speaker 11: But obviously, them coming to, you know what I'm saying,
• 9:25
  Speaker 11: experience something a little bit different from what they're used to,
• 9:27
  Speaker 11: it really means a lot just for them to be
• 9:28
  Speaker 11: able to come out.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: But, hey, if you don't have a team, we'll accept
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: you right now.
• 9:33
  Speaker 11: But, look, we get later on down the road, man,
• 9:35
  Speaker 11: we might have to cut that window off.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: But we appreciate it.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: We appreciate the support. Parker, man, what just happened?
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Man, we.
• 9:43
  Speaker 12: We won. That's what it's all about. So just being
• 9:47
  Speaker 12: able to come up with the win right there, that's everything.
• 9:51
  Speaker 12: So that's what I'm excited about.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, big game for you as well. Two touchdowns,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: two like very different touchdowns in a way as well
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I mean talk me through that catch because that was
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: a fourth down you know five yards to get and
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: there'd been a couple times when you'd been on fourth
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: down didn't manage to get that first down this time
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: it was it seemingly all or nothing and you really
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: brought it.
• 10:10
  Speaker 12: Yeah you know that's what it's all about you know
• 10:12
  Speaker 12: you want to be a player that your team relies
• 10:15
  Speaker 12: on in those moments and you just want to rise
• 10:17
  Speaker 12: to that moment and really just fall back to your training.
• 10:20
  Speaker 12: You know, I feel like that's a catch I've been
• 10:22
  Speaker 12: working on and I try to put myself in those
• 10:25
  Speaker 12: situations while I'm training in the off season and me
• 10:29
  Speaker 12: and Trev, that's not the first time we connected on
• 10:31
  Speaker 12: a play like that.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: So it's just cool to actually do it.
• 10:33
  Speaker 12: In a big time moment like that.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: And just, just last question. It seems like a lot's
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: changed for you in 12 months. I mean, I remember
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: we had, we had a conversation about 12 months ago. Um, and,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the last 12 months for you have just been every
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: single game. It's like, can he do another game?
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: No, he can't. Like, every single game has just been
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: so impressive from you. Has there been, like, a light
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: bulb that's gone on in this offense for you personally?
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Has there been a switch?
• 10:56
  Speaker 12: Yeah, just staying present.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Best player I ever played with.
• 11:00
  Speaker 8: Don't listen to him.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Don't listen to him. Jerry Joe's just big on Parker
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Washington right now.
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: That's my guy, man.
• 11:07
  Speaker 12: And it's just been just staying present, staying in the moment,
• 11:11
  Speaker 12: and just chop wood, carry water, man.
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: Just.
• 11:14
  Speaker 12: I just want to be the best teammate I can be.
• 11:15
  Speaker 12: And no matter what my role is each week, I
• 11:19
  Speaker 12: just want to be the best teammate.
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: I can be.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: You got a message for the Jacks fans here in
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: the UK?
• 11:24
  Speaker 12: Duval.
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: We're going crazy.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: Do you know what?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you do need to take that big step back
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and realize just what a privilege it is to be
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: able to go into the locker room after a victory.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: And not just any victory, of course, as well.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: After.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: A crazy win like.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: That for the Jags against the Eagles with that Cam
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Little field goal. I'm walking into the locker room and
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: just seeing all of these buzzing players. It's a massive
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: locker room, you see, because NFL locker rooms are huge.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: They're not like football locker rooms.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: They're massive.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: So you're walking around and everybody basically is in different
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: stages of undress, to be honest with you, because that's
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: how it works. You go and speak to them and
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: you don't want to go and speak to them when
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: they're naked because.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: That feels weird. Let's be frank. It feels weird.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: So you wait until they're ready to speak to and
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: And you could tell those conversations, every single one of
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: them was just on such a high after that victory
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: because it was just so insane. So from my perspective,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I think that I was just sort of on a
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: cloud a little bit walking around because I was just
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: buzzing because I just couldn't quite believe what I just witnessed.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: And to be able to talk to these players who
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: themselves couldn't quite believe what they had just witnessed was
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: just an incredible Sunday. And if I'm being completely frank,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: it's one that I don't think that I'm ever going
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: to forget. And, you know, it's so lucky as well,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: because we go from then on Sunday to several days
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: later today as we're at the Jags facility where I
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: get to sit down with a player that I didn't
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: speak to in the locker room to talk about the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: upcoming game against the Houston Texans at Wembley Stadium. So
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: this is my conversation with Jags safety Antonio Johnson. All right,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: let's welcome Antonio Johnson to Teal Talk.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: How's it going, man?
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: I'm going well. How are you doing?
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, really good, really good.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, today is Wednesday. We're now a few
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: days after that win against the Eagles. I mean, are
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: you still thinking about it?
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: How's it going?
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Because what a crazy ending that was.
• 13:10
  Speaker 13: I know, yeah, it was a crazy ending. One of
• 13:13
  Speaker 13: the wildest games I've been a part of since I've
• 13:15
  Speaker 13: been in the league. Kind of, you know, had a
• 13:18
  Speaker 13: few days to, you know, think about it, go over,
• 13:20
  Speaker 13: you know, the game, do corrections, and now... Wednesday, Wednesday
• 13:24
  Speaker 13: come is kind of the day that we kind of
• 13:26
  Speaker 13: flush the last week and move on to the next opponent.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: How easy is it just to put it behind you?
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, like when you lose, you have to
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: put that behind you. But this is such a specific circumstance,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: isn't it? Where it's just like a wild ending. Do
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: you just have to live it for a couple of days?
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. You live it for probably like the
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: rest of Sunday, Monday.
• 13:46
  Speaker 13: A little bit on Tuesday, and then really when you
• 13:48
  Speaker 13: come into the building and go into meetings on Wednesday,
• 13:52
  Speaker 13: it's next opponent mentality, going to the next, you know,
• 13:56
  Speaker 13: getting ready for Houston this week. It's life of the
• 14:00
  Speaker 13: NFL week by week, so that's pretty much how it goes.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Now, obviously, this is going to be your second game
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: in London, and the means that you've spent the time,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: you know, in the UK over the last few days,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing you had at least a day off over
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: the last few days.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Can you tell me what you did?
• 14:15
  Speaker 13: I did a little shopping, went down into the city,
• 14:18
  Speaker 13: explored the city, ate at a few restaurants.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: Did kind of, you know, basic stuff.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: You've got to tell me, okay, so first of all,
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: where did you go shopping? What did you buy?
• 14:28
  Speaker 13: I went to, not Harrods, Selfridge's. I did a little shopping.
• 14:35
  Speaker 13: I got a few outfits, one outfit for the game.
• 14:40
  Speaker 13: And then I went to Goyard.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: I got a few bags.
• 14:43
  Speaker 13: And then.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: What about where did you eat then?
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Because you hear a lot of stuff about where people
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: go and eat in London.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: So go on, tell me where you went.
• 14:51
  Speaker 13: So I went to, actually the two restaurants are across
• 14:53
  Speaker 13: the street from each other. I went to Sheesh and
• 14:56
  Speaker 13: then I went to Gaia.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah i think that's how you pronounce it yeah yeah.
• 15:00
  Speaker 13: Yeah so i went through those two places good good
• 15:02
  Speaker 13: food good food yeah yeah.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I mean you know people always talk about london having
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: like bad food or whatever i'm sorry like it's good
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: i'm putting out.
• 15:10
  Speaker 13: There no i i appreciate the food out here it
• 15:12
  Speaker 13: was really good um tasteful a little different but it
• 15:15
  Speaker 13: was good.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Uh how have you uh found like walking around london
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: and um you know just experiencing it um i guess
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: being a tourist i suppose.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. You know, being my fourth year out here,
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: I don't feel too much of a tourist.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: It's your second home now.
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, honestly.
• 15:29
  Speaker 13: But it's kind of like fast paced. You're walking around,
• 15:32
  Speaker 13: you know, a lot of people out on the streets.
• 15:34
  Speaker 13: Kind of give you like a New York vibe. It
• 15:37
  Speaker 13: was just like, you know, the people walking on the street,
• 15:41
  Speaker 13: you know, all the shopping, different stores.
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: You know, it was a good experience. I like walking
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: around out here.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. How is it, like, just going from Jacksonville,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: which is obviously completely different, to you've come over here.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: How is it, like, you know, early on in the
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: season to you? Is it, like, a nice refreshing moment?
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Is it a moment where you can all band together?
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: Oh, yeah, we look at it as a team bonding experience.
• 16:05
  Speaker 13: You know, get to relax, just have fun with each
• 16:10
  Speaker 13: other outside of just being in the building, go, you know,
• 16:13
  Speaker 13: dinner together or go shopping. Just do little things so, like,
• 16:18
  Speaker 13: When we were on the field, we were just a
• 16:19
  Speaker 13: little bit closer than what we came over here as
• 16:21
  Speaker 13: a team.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Do you bring your family? Do you bring friends over?
• 16:24
  Speaker 13: No, not this year. Last year, I had family and
• 16:27
  Speaker 13: friends come over. But this year, I was pretty much
• 16:29
  Speaker 13: by myself.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they hated it so much. They were like, no,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I can't come again.
• 16:32
  Speaker 8: No, I don't think they hated it.
• 16:34
  Speaker 13: I think more so they dreaded the flight.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Is that right?
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: Yeah, it was the flight, I think, that really got
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: to them this year.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: But it's okay.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: Well, you know what? They're welcome back any time. They're
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: welcome back any time. I want to talk about... the
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: DB room at the moment, some changes in the off season.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I want to know what it's been like and how you've,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: how your role maybe has changed over the first.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Few weeks of the season.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 17:00
  Speaker 13: Coming into this year, more of a leadership role than
• 17:03
  Speaker 13: previous years. Being the second oldest guy in the room
• 17:08
  Speaker 13: in my first two years, I was the youngest guy
• 17:10
  Speaker 13: both two years.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: That's crazy though, isn't it?
• 17:13
  Speaker 13: Yeah, like my rookie year and my second year in
• 17:15
  Speaker 13: the league, I was the youngest guy in the room. So,
• 17:17
  Speaker 13: That shift overnight was kind of crazy to me, but
• 17:22
  Speaker 13: now I enjoy it because I get to be somebody
• 17:27
  Speaker 13: that the younger guys come to for questions or just
• 17:31
  Speaker 13: navigation in a way. So that's been a fun experience
• 17:34
  Speaker 13: for me. And then playing-wise... It's just been fun. It's
• 17:39
  Speaker 13: just been a fun experience being out.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: There with the guys.
• 17:41
  Speaker 13: Still have a great vet in the room with Eric Murray,
• 17:44
  Speaker 13: and just specifically in the safety room. I get to
• 17:46
  Speaker 13: pick his brain all the time and just get to
• 17:48
  Speaker 13: learn a lot of different things from him on and
• 17:50
  Speaker 13: off the field.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: I think I saw a video of you recently actually
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: talking about how, because I think maybe, like, the Jags
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: social media must have asked lots of different players, like, hey,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: what position would you be if you weren't in your position, right?
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: And I think that you said, like, when people said, like,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: you know, defensive back or safety or whatever, you were
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: just like, nah, they don't want to be, they're not safe,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: because they need to communicate, like, yeah, to talk about that,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: because you said there's only certain people, like, maybe the
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks right now that could actually do that job as
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: a safety.
• 18:17
  Speaker 13: Yeah, I was saying the quarterback and the center are,
• 18:20
  Speaker 13: to me, are the two positions on the offensive side
• 18:23
  Speaker 13: that could correlate to be playing safety because all the
• 18:27
  Speaker 13: communication that go around, like we make the checks.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: We are the quarterbacks of the defense and.
• 18:33
  Speaker 13: You have to be able to, you know, be able
• 18:34
  Speaker 13: to demand and control what's going on out there.
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: It's a lot, it's a lot of toll.
• 18:41
  Speaker 13: It's a lot of tasks and you got to be
• 18:43
  Speaker 13: able to, it's tough mentally and physically. So that's why
• 18:48
  Speaker 13: I feel like the quarterback in the center does most
• 18:50
  Speaker 13: of the communication on offense.
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: To the line and to everybody else. That's why I
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: said that.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: One person that's been, you know, lining up out wide
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball, Travis Hunter, of course,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: has got a lot more snaps on the defensive side
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: of the ball compared to last year. Tell me what
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: it's like having him playing with you on that side
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: of the ball.
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: Oh, it's fine. Day by day, he's getting better.
• 19:12
  Speaker 13: He's getting used to the scheme and he's getting more comfortable.
• 19:16
  Speaker 13: So you've seen his athletic ability show more and more
• 19:19
  Speaker 13: each time we go out there and, It's fun to
• 19:21
  Speaker 13: see him, you know, go out there, have fun and
• 19:24
  Speaker 13: really just diving into the defensive side and being a
• 19:27
  Speaker 13: physical player and making plays on the ball in the air.
• 19:29
  Speaker 13: So we know he's very talented and it's so exciting
• 19:34
  Speaker 13: to see him when the ball go in the air,
• 19:35
  Speaker 13: to see what he's going to do with it. Cause
• 19:37
  Speaker 13: that's what he do best is make plays in the air.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: One of my favorite plays, maybe the entire year was
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: that pick, you know, I'm talking about that pick against
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: the Bengals. Like what was, what was the reaction in
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: the locker room after that? Because like that, you know,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: was it Tee Higgins? Like you basically put.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Him on the floor.
• 19:50
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Oh no.
• 19:51
  Speaker 13: We didn't even know that he, after he made a miss,
• 19:53
  Speaker 13: he looked at him for a slight moment. And like
• 19:56
  Speaker 13: when we see him, I was like, oh yeah, he's crazy.
• 19:57
  Speaker 13: Like he, he just out there having fun. And that's
• 20:00
  Speaker 13: like the best part about it. Like when, when players
• 20:03
  Speaker 13: are out there just having fun and enjoying themselves and
• 20:05
  Speaker 13: making plays, like I feel like that's when the team
• 20:07
  Speaker 13: is at its best. And, um, he's a goofball, so
• 20:12
  Speaker 13: we all made jokes about it in the locker room,
• 20:14
  Speaker 13: and that just shows how, like, explosive and dynamic he
• 20:19
  Speaker 13: is as a player when he gets the ball in
• 20:20
  Speaker 13: his hands.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: All right, so Texans-Wembley Stadium. Obviously, there was a lot
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: of Eagles fans at the last game. I'm thinking it's
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: going to be different. It's going to be a real
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville crowd, hopefully, at Wembley Stadium this week. Talk to
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: me about the game, and first of all, like, You know,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: how does it feel for a divisional matchup?
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Because there's more to this, isn't there?
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, for sure.
• 20:41
  Speaker 13: With it being a divisional matchup, it's already going to
• 20:43
  Speaker 13: be a more physical game. It's a more important game
• 20:47
  Speaker 13: than not any other game. Each game is important, but
• 20:50
  Speaker 13: just having that divisional tie down, you know, going to
• 20:54
  Speaker 13: our first divisional game this year, it means a lot
• 20:57
  Speaker 13: to the team.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: You know, that's how I go to.
• 21:01
  Speaker 13: Win a division every year and then, you know, going
• 21:04
  Speaker 13: to win a conference. So this is just the first
• 21:07
  Speaker 13: step of, you know, completing those goals. I don't know
• 21:10
  Speaker 13: if you've been following the news over the last few
• 21:11
  Speaker 13: days as well. Texans make a big trade with Marvin
• 21:14
  Speaker 13: Harrison on the offensive side.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: But I don't know if he's going to be playing.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: You might be seeing him. Does that change things, how you,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: you know, approach the game?
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: Oh, no, I feel like....
• 21:24
  Speaker 13: We go into each game as, you know, making sure
• 21:26
  Speaker 13: that we're on top of our IQs as a defense.
• 21:29
  Speaker 13: And when we check in our boxes, I feel no
• 21:31
  Speaker 13: matter who's on the other side, we always say it's
• 21:34
  Speaker 13: a faceless opponent.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: So whoever is out there, it doesn't matter who it is.
• 21:39
  Speaker 13: We just go out there and do our thing and
• 21:40
  Speaker 13: do what we do best is, you know, stop the
• 21:42
  Speaker 13: run and make plays and ball in the air.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Well, look, this is the official Jacksonville Jaguars podcast in
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the UK and Ireland. What would you say to somebody
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: that's listening to this right now that doesn't have a
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: ticket to come to Wembley Stadium on Sunday?
• 21:55
  Speaker 13: What are you doing? What are you doing? It's going
• 21:58
  Speaker 13: to be a great game. Get a ticket, find a ticket,
• 22:03
  Speaker 13: come support. And, you know, this is our second home
• 22:07
  Speaker 13: outside of Jacksonville, so we'd love for you all to
• 22:10
  Speaker 13: come and support us.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Thanks so much, man.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: I appreciate you.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Jags safety, Antonio Johnson. And do you know what? He's right.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: He's like, what are you doing?
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: What are you doing if you don't have tickets to
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: see the Jags face Houston Texans at Wembley Stadium? As
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: he says himself, a big divisional game with tens and
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: tens of other thousands of Jags fans. The atmosphere is
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: going to be crazy. There's so much going on before
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: the game outside Wembley Stadium as well.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: In fact, you know what?
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: There is loads going on this week too. So if
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: you haven't got your tickets yet, for the game at Wembley, jaguars.co.uk.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Get on there right now. There's so much happening over
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: the next few days as well, including something that's happening
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Thursday night at the Greenwood Pub in Victoria with myself,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: with Phoebe Schechter, and the man that we heard earlier
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: on in the podcast, Jason Bell.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: Speak of the devil, here he is. All right, welcome
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: back to Teal Talk.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: The NFL's premier analyst, Jags enthusiast, despite the fact he
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: formerly played for the Texans. Jason Bell, I mean, look,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: we'll get on to it this week, man. We'll get
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: on to it this week because your emotions must be
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: everywhere right now. But, I mean, I want to start, J-Bell, with,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: in fact, I wonder if you can just recall what
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: was going down in the Sky Sports studio when Cam
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Little got that kick because I've seen it on social media, man.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I've seen you excited. I've seen you.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Riled up in really positive ways, but I don't think
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen J-Bell like this.
• 23:35
  Speaker 7: That was real raw emotion, first of all.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: And you got to be careful for who is videotaping
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: because I didn't know. Now, once I saw it, I
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: accepted it. I dealt with it and I put it
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: out there because you know what? I will embarrass myself
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: before anybody else will. But that was raw emotion. You know,
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: I love this game. I'm a fan as you are.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: It's situations like that that we watch this game for. Yes,
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: I was invested. I wanted Jacksonville to win. Ups, downs, turbulence.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: They had to figure it out. Once they did, I
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: was like, this is what it's about. And as a
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: guy who played special teams, I understood the moment for
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: everybody on special teams. And this is why the third
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: phase of the game is so important. So I emotions
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: wrapped up in all of that loved it as a
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: fan more you know as an analyst had to do
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: my job that was pure fandomonium.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Oh fandom fandomonium is a big shout at jay bell
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: i love it um is.
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: It a real word because i wasn't sure what i'm.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Not sure it is but if it's not yeah well
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: i mean it started today i mean surely that's surely
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: someone said that before it's.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: Too good we're gonna take it man two friends talking
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: we're gonna accept.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: It we're gonna take it all right let's go on
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: with the uh the five big questions let's um Look
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: back on that win against the Eagles.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Where was the game won, J-Bell?
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Man, you got to give it up for the moment.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Cam Little, you know, Devon Hamilton making it happen. Snap,
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: the holder getting it down, the kick.
• 25:09
  Speaker 7: That's it, man.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: There were so many people I could have discussed in this.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Parker Washington, monster plays. But you got to drill it
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: down to the moment, because that's what it's all about.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: And when you think about a kicker that probably was
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: quite uncomfortable mentally with what was happening with the snap, hold, operation, right,
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: that can get into your head, didn't matter. Went out there,
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: shook off what had happened before, and made the kick.
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: That's what the game's about. So you got to give
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: it up to Cam Little, who is a true, true weapon.
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: I mean, legitimately. But making that kick in that moment...
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: My goodness. Outstanding.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: What about the unsung moment? Maybe the under the radar moment, J-Bell.
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: Oh, we got Devon Hamilton. Devon Hamilton, man.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: I mean, first of all, think about it, man. You know,
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: in Dominican Sioux, I got to give him some love.
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: I'm broadcasting the game with him. And he said something
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: I didn't even think about. He was like, man, his
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: shoulder pads aren't even for that. And I was like,
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: oh my gosh, you're right. The tight shoulder pads you're
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: wearing as a defensive lineman, you know, you're trying to snap, everything.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: What I love is the game puts you in positions
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: where you're uncomfortable. Can you overcome them? Can you look
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: at your mistakes? Can you find a way to forget
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: them and move on to the next play? It's always
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: talked about. It's always preached. Can you do it as
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: a player? He did it, man. He moved on to
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: the next play, which was the best play, and came
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: through with a big snap that made it happen. And
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: the holder, Logan Cook, Logan Cook, right? Bringing it down.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Those two, man, you got to give them love.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: What about the game ball?
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Are we saying it's Cam Littles or who else you
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: got in mind?
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: Oh, gosh, game ball, man. Game ball got to be
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: Cam Little, man. You got to give it to him
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: with the big kick, man. I know we're repeating the
• 27:03
  Speaker 3: same thing, but geez, without that kick, Philly walks away thinking,
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: you start saying, man, Philly won a big game, you know,
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: with a lot of injuries and stuff like that. But
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: when you see a kicker like that coming through, you
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: got to give him the game ball. Special teams all day.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: What needs to improve so the Jags get the win
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: at Wembley?
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: Pre-snap operations.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: I could easily say penalties because that's what it was,
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: but pre-snap operations. One thing I love about this offense
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: is the way Liam Cohen and Trevor Lawrence gather information
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: at the line of scrimmage by shifts, motions, all that
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: kind of stuff. But if you watch, you know, I'm
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: watching the game and I'm always watching the play clock.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: And I'm always watching to see how much they use
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: and they use a lot because there's.
• 27:44
  Speaker 7: A lot going on.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: Well, it helps, you know, Trevor made some big throws
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: that one to Parker Washington motion.
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: He identified man to man coverage.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: He knew he had a slot fade, boom, hit it.
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: You know, all that stuff works, but because of that,
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: all those moving parts, you get penalties. So we got
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: to clean that up, man. The penalties cannot beat ourself anymore.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: How do the Jags beat the Texans?
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: So this is interesting.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: What you want to do when you talk about the Texans,
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: you talk about their strength, that defensive line can ruin
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: your life. They can ruin the game. You're playing with
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: a backup tackle now because you've had an injury. You've
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: got to protect Trevor Lawrence. So whatever you've got to
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: do to not let those guys take over the game,
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: that's the key. They're going to lean in on that.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: If that happens, it gets miserable real quick. So protecting
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence is essential to make sure you come out
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: with a victory.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: And as a former Texan, J-Bell, talk to me about
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: your relationship when you were playing with the Jags. Is
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: it fair to say you were not a Jags fan
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: when you were playing?
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: It's crazy because, you know, I get traded to that
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: team when it first started. That is Houston, first week
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: of the season. You don't know anything. You don't have
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: any rivals. Like, you're a new team in a new division.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: All of a sudden, the hate was real. I don't
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: know why. From the gate, from the jump. You know,
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: maybe it was because we were scared of Fred Taylor,
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: Freddie T in that running game and what they could
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: do to you and those receivers they had, Jimmy Smith,
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: Keenan McArdle.
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: It was mad real, man. You had to go out
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: there and ball out. So for some reason, we just
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: had real hate.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: And I'm telling you, the temperature rose when you played
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: that game. Remember, I come from the NFC East, so
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: I was used to all of these rivalries and how
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: it just stepped up as far as competition. It was
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: for real one of the nastiest games I've ever played
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: in each week was when we had to compete with Jacksonville.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: And it still is like that today. When I talk
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: to players about it all the time, I'm like, is
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: it still real? Is it still hard? Is it still hate?
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: And they always confirm that it is.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm excited about the atmosphere and the general vibe,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: to be fair, not just in the stands, but on
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: the field as well this weekend at Wembley. I think
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: it's going to be quite something. How has your last
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: week been then, J-Bo? And what are you doing over
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: the next few days? Because I guess, you know, have
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: you met any Jags players? What do you have lined up?
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: Well, you and I got some fun things lined up.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: So I hope the people can come check us out
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: at our event.
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: You'll be hosting. You're a wonderful host. We're going to
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: have a good time. And hopefully I don't make your
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: job any harder by talking reckless.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: But you know I will.
• 30:25
  Speaker 7: So this is what we do. But we're going to
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: have a good time. We've taken over a bar.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Thursday night at the Greenwood in Victoria. I mean, it's essentially,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: we've been painting at Teal over the last couple weeks,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: as you can imagine.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: That's exactly right.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: You know, so it's going to be quite, because I
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: think there's been, there's been events already there over the
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: last couple of weeks.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: And you know what? Thursday night, me, you, J Bell,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Phoebe Schechter is going to be there. I mean, if
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: you're going to be at any one. It's the one.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: It's the one.
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: It's us.
• 30:55
  Speaker 7: It's us.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: This is the one we'll have a good time. And
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: I can't believe how invested I am in this team.
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: It is crazy.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: It is absolutely crazy how much a Jags fan I'm in.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: I don't even know how to discuss it. But yeah,
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: met some players last week. I did some cool stuff
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: with Scott. I love talking to the DBs, man. Travis Hunter,
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: Jaren Jones, Monteric Brown. Really cool. Foye, just amazing guys. Antonio,
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: the safety, just good times, man. So met those guys,
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: good vibes, felt like I was hanging out when I'm
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: around DBs. I was like, please include me. The running
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: backs were like, yeah, the running backs, man. I was
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: trying to impress them, man. I was like, Basil Tootin
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: and Chris Rodriguez, I'm trying to hang out. They looking
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: at me like I'm crazy. They're like, get this guy
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: out of here. I'm like, man, you guys are it though, man.
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: You know, running backs, they were like, they didn't.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: Want to include me, but they were cool dudes. Everybody's
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: super cool, man. You forget how big guys are, man.
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: You're standing next to him. You're like, geez. You just
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: look athletic, but very cool, very fun.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, Neil Reynolds is a tall man, but I
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: guess when you're standing next to him every single week,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: you forget, oh, actually, do you know what?
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: There are bigger people than Neil.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: And they just look strong, man.
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: I'm not even going to lie.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: You look at them on the sideline, you look at
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: their arms, you're like, oh, yeah, they just throw people around.
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: You're just like, yeah, that's what it's about. So it
• 32:18
  Speaker 7: was amazing.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: But yeah, just expressing to them, how much I like
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: their game and I was able to say different things
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: to them about their game, things they do, unique-wise, and
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: how much I appreciate it.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: You know, just pulling the curtain back for a second,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: we're recording this on Tuesday and tomorrow you are going
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: to be meeting up with your man.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Crush, I think it's fair to say, J-Pel.
• 32:40
  Speaker 7: No doubt.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: You've got the butterflies in your stomach, haven't you? You're
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: going to be sitting next to Trevor Lawrence having a conversation?
• 32:45
  Speaker 7: First time, I did.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: We've done it so much and I feel like.
• 32:49
  Speaker 7: We've got a good relationship.
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: It's more that I'm excited to sit down with an
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: old friend that's doing cool things.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, that's a good way of putting it, yeah.
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: You know, and he knows when we have a conversation
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: that I'm genuinely interested in what.
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: He's doing and how he's doing it.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: I watch the film, so, you know, I'll say something
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: that I'm seeing that I have an opinion on. It's
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: usually positive, and he's able to give me insight on that, so.
• 33:18
  Speaker 7: I'm really interested in talking to him.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: About how he, the emotion he showed last week, man.
• 33:23
  Speaker 7: I really loved it. You know, with the penalties, just
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: loved it. Just absolutely.
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: He had complete command and control of the attitude at
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: that moment.
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: I love the fact that he's cool.
• 33:33
  Speaker 11: Calm.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: Like, don't get me wrong. My quarterback needs to set
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: the temperature sometimes. And sometimes the huddle just needs to be, Hey,
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: it's all good. But in that, everybody in that stadium
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: that was a Jaguars fans was feeling that emotion and,
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: from those penalties.
• 33:46
  Speaker 7: And he just let us know, like, this is unacceptable.
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: Loved it.
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not about having no emotion.
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: It's about being able to express it, not only in
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: the right way, but at the right time to the
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: right people. And I think that was, you know, you
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: just put the, you know, hit the nail on the
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: head there, J-Bar. I think that the whole stadium was
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: feeling that just at that moment.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: So, you know what?
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to hear your conversation. And we need to
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: get your prediction for next Sunday. Reece got it closest
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: last week.
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: And I am.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: I'm getting up to here with Reece Parkinson, to be honest, J-Bell,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: because every single week it just seems like he's managing
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: to get closest.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: We need to up our game.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Well, specifically, I need to up our game, to be
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: honest with you, because I think I'm letting the team down.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Reece got it closest last week, but he was able,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: he's not here this week, obviously, he was able to
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: leave a voice note to producer Simon in which he
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: gave his prediction.
• 34:40
  Speaker 6: Okay, my prediction, Jags versus Texans. Jags 33, Texans 27. Yeah,
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: that's my prediction. I think it's going to be quite
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: a high-scoring game. I like CJ Stroud, Marvin Harrison Jr.
• 34:54
  Speaker 6: teaming up back together like the college days. I think
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: that's going to have a bit of a boost for
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: the Texans. I feel like they're going to be in
• 35:01
  Speaker 6: good spirits looking to turn things around. I do think
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: the advantage of us being here will kick in. I
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: think last week's narrow escape, we'll be looking to fix
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: a few things as well. So I've got Jags 33,
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: Texans 27.
• 35:16
  Speaker 7: Let's do back-to-back in London and march on. March on.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: That's all I'll say.
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: 33-27, J-Bell, is Reece's prediction. That is, I mean, it's
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: close and it's high scoring. What's your opinion? Do you
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: have a different one?
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: So I have a different opinion.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: I'm going to stick with, My score last week, I'm
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: going to go 24 to 20.
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: I'm going Jacksonville. I know it's hard as a Houston guy.
• 35:42
  Speaker 7: It is difficult. I know I had to, I had
• 35:44
  Speaker 7: to reckon with this myself. It was an emotional time,
• 35:47
  Speaker 7: but yet.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: I had to discover who I was as a pundit
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: and an analyst. And I'm going with Jacksonville. Look, they
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: stopped the run, make it one dimensional, find a way
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: to get a turnover. CJ Stroud is playing well. There's
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: no doubt. Neagle Collins on the field, he's a different player.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: They are struggling in the running game. You got to dominate,
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: make it one-dimensional, make it hard. They might get yards,
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: keep them out the end zone. Got to be able
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: to run the ball on offense, cut down the penalties,
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: and when you have an opportunity against a good coverage matchup,
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: You got to take advantage of that. You got a
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: lot of weapons as far as receivers are concerned. You
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: got to look for the right matchup. You know they're
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: going to play man-to-man coverage.
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: You got to see it. You got to believe it.
• 36:28
  Speaker 7: You got to deliver. This is a big, huge game
• 36:31
  Speaker 7: for this team.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: This will say and give them a lot of confidence
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: and tell everybody in the world that this offense especially
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: can battle with the best defense in the game. D'Amico
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: Ryan's takeover play calling. It's been better. Let's see what
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: we got. Now practice is going to be intense, hard,
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: because the mistakes made last week, they are going to
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: be focused. They know they just got out of this
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: one barely. So they're going to be really, really toned
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: in and honed in on the details.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, and my prediction, I think the unknown factor here, J-Bell, is...
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison on the offense as well, joining the Texans.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: We didn't necessarily see that coming a week ago. Is
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: he going to be in London? Is he going to
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: be playing against the Jags right now? I'm assuming so,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: but we'll have to see. I think this is going
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: to be a close matchup. I think it's going to
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: be a lower scoring matchup than we might expect, but
• 37:29
