Transcript
- 0:09Speaker 1: It's twenty degrees here in London.
- 0:11Speaker 2: In Jacksonville, it's but actually we're gonna find out in
- 0:14Speaker 2: a moment. As its edition of Teal Talk, it's a
- 0:16Speaker 2: little bit different as seventy five percent of it is
- 0:19Speaker 2: in Duval County. Right now, I'm Jay Lawrence, no relation.
- 0:24Speaker 2: This is TILL Talk, the official Jacksonville Jaguars UKN Island podcast,
- 0:27Speaker 2: presented by Gallagher, Key, Ram Suran, Hello, Reese Parkinson, JP
- 0:34Speaker 2: Shadrick all joining from Jacksonville. And we have a little
- 0:40Speaker 2: known guy coming on the podcast. Some have not called
- 0:43Speaker 2: him a unicorn. Travis Hunter is appearing on teal Talk today. Look,
- 0:49Speaker 2: let me introduce you guys now Key JP. Ree's first question,
- 0:53Speaker 2: what's the temperature?
- 0:55Speaker 3: It is five thousand degrees, Jay No, I think it's
- 0:59Speaker 3: like thirty three thirty three degrees.
- 1:01Speaker 4: That would be eighty eight degrees fahrenheit currently here in
- 1:04Speaker 4: Neptune Beach. A little cooler here on the coast than
- 1:06Speaker 4: it is in the middle of Jacksonville. You can add
- 1:09Speaker 4: about five degrees downtown just because of the seed breeze
- 1:12Speaker 4: here on the coastline. But we've got a beautiful day
- 1:15Speaker 4: out here, guys. The sun is out, there's no clouds,
- 1:18Speaker 4: the seots are blowing in the breeze and the sand
- 1:20Speaker 4: dunes behind us. We're at the Lemon Bar in Neptune Beach,
- 1:23Speaker 4: which is a hotel bar set up right here on
- 1:27Speaker 4: the dunes, and it's a perfect day for it, a
- 1:29Speaker 4: little warm, but this is another just another day here
- 1:32Speaker 4: in Jacksonville.
- 1:33Speaker 2: That makes me feel really angry because you know when
- 1:37Speaker 2: you appear, because I can see you, guys, when you appear,
- 1:40Speaker 2: first thing I see is palm trees, grease. And also
- 1:43Speaker 2: before we even get even to Jags or Travis Hunter, grees.
- 1:47Speaker 2: Can you stop posting Instagram pictures if you having a
- 1:50Speaker 2: walk on the beach. It's infuriating, of it is, I'm livid,
- 1:54Speaker 2: I'm jealousy.
- 1:55Speaker 5: You know, coming from the UK. As soon as we
- 1:57Speaker 5: all see sun and beach, we are unbearable. So that's
- 2:02Speaker 5: exactly what I'm trying to be this week as much
- 2:05Speaker 5: as possible, just as unbearable as possible.
- 2:08Speaker 3: Reese is the guy that's taking a photo of his
- 2:10Speaker 3: feet in the sand.
- 2:11Speaker 6: Immediately, he's the king of the pain.
- 2:13Speaker 5: Holidays holidays, JP. How rude.
- 2:19Speaker 2: But you know what, actually that flows in quite well
- 2:22Speaker 2: because I think you said you said something on Instagram,
- 2:25Speaker 2: didn't you reas about how it feels like when you
- 2:28Speaker 2: go by.
- 2:29Speaker 1: The sea and have a walk on the beach.
- 2:30Speaker 2: It just feels like there's a fresh energy within you,
- 2:34Speaker 2: doesn't it? And I feel like that's a really perfect
- 2:37Speaker 2: thing to say about the Jacksonville Jaguars training camp by
- 2:40Speaker 2: all sounds key.
- 2:42Speaker 3: So here's the thing, Jay, I feel like JP is
- 2:44Speaker 3: here to kind of subdue my childlike enthusiasm today because
- 2:49Speaker 3: I'm there at training camp and I'm getting incredibly excited.
- 2:53Speaker 6: Fresh energy is the word.
- 2:55Speaker 5: Man.
- 2:55Speaker 3: It feels like new regime. It feels like everyone is
- 3:00Speaker 3: ready to go. I've heard the word detail used a lot,
- 3:04Speaker 3: which is really exciting. But it seems fast and furious,
- 3:09Speaker 3: and yeah, I'm very excited.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Well, JP, you've been to ten thousand training camps. How
- 3:15Speaker 2: does this one? How does this one feel for you?
- 3:17Speaker 7: I mean, I.
- 3:18Speaker 4: Think there's vibes, let's say that's a good word for it.
- 3:22Speaker 4: But to key your point, we've seen vibes before in
- 3:27Speaker 4: training camp around here.
- 3:28Speaker 7: In different regimes.
- 3:29Speaker 6: This is different.
- 3:30Speaker 7: It is very different.
- 3:32Speaker 4: With Tony Boselli involved, James Gladstone's seems legit and had
- 3:36Speaker 4: a really good off season, and Liam Cohen has his
- 3:39Speaker 4: act together and seems to have, at least early in
- 3:42Speaker 4: his regime, now the.
- 3:43Speaker 7: Respect of the team. So that's a good start. It's
- 3:46Speaker 7: a great start in.
- 3:47Speaker 4: Fact, so far, everything they did in the off season
- 3:49Speaker 4: building up the training camp a plus. Now it gets
- 3:53Speaker 4: real because the football is about to get released.
- 3:56Speaker 5: JP. I've like got a question for you in terms
- 3:59Speaker 5: of I've tried to figure out the last few days whenever,
- 4:02Speaker 5: you know, being kind of lucky enough to come here
- 4:04Speaker 5: in the last two years as well, how do you
- 4:06Speaker 5: know if training camp is going well? And I say
- 4:09Speaker 5: that because you're kind of sign online and I saw,
- 4:12Speaker 5: like I think the Giants new QB Jackson dart through
- 4:15Speaker 5: like his first pass was a pick, and everyone's like training,
- 4:17Speaker 5: He's training comes awful. But how do you know? When
- 4:19Speaker 5: I'm watching it, I'm like, what you've judging off? How
- 4:22Speaker 5: do you know before we've seen the first game? Can
- 4:25Speaker 5: can you even? How do you see it?
- 4:26Speaker 7: Yeah? It's overreaction central and training. It's the way it
- 4:30Speaker 7: goes the world, no doubt about it. Oh my gosh.
- 4:33Speaker 7: Trevor Lawrence tipball picked six by a one armed.
- 4:36Speaker 4: Linebacker on yeh Friday, I'm losing track of the days already.
- 4:43Speaker 4: It's a training camp practice. A lot of times there
- 4:45Speaker 4: are certain situations and scenarios that the offense might be
- 4:48Speaker 4: working on and the defense hasn't put their full scheme in. Okay,
- 4:52Speaker 4: maybe it's just a vanilla defense where okay, we're not
- 4:55Speaker 4: scheming against this group.
- 4:57Speaker 7: So you just don't get a fair assessment.
- 4:59Speaker 4: And that's why anybody who keeps training camp statistics of
- 5:03Speaker 4: completions and attempts and yards, it doesn't make any sense
- 5:07Speaker 4: because you don't know exactly what they might be working
- 5:09Speaker 4: on from period to period throughout the two hours or whatever.
- 5:12Speaker 4: We'll get to about two hours and twenty minutes when
- 5:14Speaker 4: it gets full go, that could change period by period,
- 5:18Speaker 4: So you know, if you'll you'll notice it really a
- 5:21Speaker 4: lot when the when the pads go on Monday and Tuesday,
- 5:24Speaker 4: that's when you really get to start to see the
- 5:25Speaker 4: offensive and defensive lines and who will emerge for some
- 5:29Speaker 4: spots on the offensive line and the starting lineup that's
- 5:32Speaker 4: not a done deal yet, and you'll see how the
- 5:35Speaker 4: defensive line guys came back to camp. Are they in shape,
- 5:39Speaker 4: what can they bring to a one on one matchup,
- 5:42Speaker 4: and you just build that over the days and weeks
- 5:44Speaker 4: of training camp and the preseason games, and then you
- 5:47Speaker 4: start to figure out the roster and the starting lineups
- 5:50Speaker 4: and things from that.
- 5:51Speaker 7: So that's what I look for.
- 5:54Speaker 4: It's not necessarily points or yards or you know, you
- 5:58Speaker 4: don't want the football on the ground a lot.
- 6:00Speaker 7: There's a quarterback.
- 6:01Speaker 4: What's gonna happen, right, especially if it's a defensive day
- 6:04Speaker 4: where they're scheming some stuff and the offense is not
- 6:07Speaker 4: quite that. Hey, the defense might have the upper hand
- 6:10Speaker 4: sometimes and vice versa if the offense is working on
- 6:13Speaker 4: something the defense is. So it's just kind of a
- 6:15Speaker 4: match up day to day, almost period to period thing.
- 6:18Speaker 4: So overreaction is rampant this time of year throughout the NFL.
- 6:24Speaker 7: Jacksonville two. Just call a little.
- 6:27Speaker 4: Bit, let it play out, and then you'll see it
- 6:30Speaker 4: once the you know, later in training camp, you'll see
- 6:32Speaker 4: the team periods eleven on eleven work. You'll start to
- 6:35Speaker 4: see that balance out. Okay, if that balance is out, hey,
- 6:40Speaker 4: defense is having some good reps, offense has some some
- 6:42Speaker 4: big plays. Until that's a good balance going in.
- 6:46Speaker 7: It's not. We've had that before and have lost fifteen games,
- 6:49Speaker 7: so like.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Are you looking for progression on your JP? You're looking
- 6:52Speaker 2: for progression. I mean, this is the start of training camp.
- 6:54Speaker 7: No doubt about it.
- 6:55Speaker 4: I mean you want you want to go into training
- 6:56Speaker 4: camp with a good grasp of what you're trying to
- 6:58Speaker 4: do on offense, a new scheme, but then you want
- 7:02Speaker 4: to see some chemistry develop with receivers in the running
- 7:05Speaker 4: game and everything as it goes along, and just build up.
- 7:08Speaker 4: You don't want to hit your stride now we're not
- 7:10Speaker 4: even into August yet. First games in September, so you
- 7:13Speaker 4: want to hit your stride in September as a team,
- 7:15Speaker 4: as an offense, defensive scheme and all that, so there's
- 7:18Speaker 4: room to grow.
- 7:19Speaker 7: That's what training campus for.
- 7:20Speaker 3: I hear what you're saying about overreaction, but the team
- 7:23Speaker 3: do look the best they've ever looked right.
- 7:30Speaker 7: Saturday, JP.
- 7:32Speaker 3: What I was going to ask on a serious note,
- 7:34Speaker 3: I know it's early days. Is there anyone that you've
- 7:37Speaker 3: noticed is hitting stride and you're excited about any new
- 7:40Speaker 3: additions that you think, oh, looking nice?
- 7:42Speaker 7: Well, I mean this is the easy one.
- 7:44Speaker 4: I mean you can see Travis Hunter run around on
- 7:46Speaker 4: the offensive side, and that excites you because of his
- 7:50Speaker 4: ability after the catch, the stop and start ability is explosiveness.
- 7:56Speaker 4: And then on the defensive side, we've only seen him
- 7:59Speaker 4: on one day on defense and that was on Friday.
- 8:02Speaker 4: I'm gonna guess he'll go back on defense on Sunday
- 8:05Speaker 4: as well and kind of flip flop as it goes.
- 8:07Speaker 4: There'll be a couple of days where he probably does
- 8:09Speaker 4: both in a practice, switches jerseys out and things, but
- 8:12Speaker 4: you can see his ability and his explosive.
- 8:16Speaker 7: Skill what he can do with his hands.
- 8:18Speaker 4: I think on Friday, you know, there was some moments
- 8:21Speaker 4: in teamwork in the red zone. They did a lot
- 8:22Speaker 4: of red zone work on it. So there was one play,
- 8:25Speaker 4: the first play I saw him out there, there's a
- 8:27Speaker 4: tied end that runs in and then breaks back out
- 8:30Speaker 4: to the pylon and the goal line and left Travis
- 8:34Speaker 4: in the middle of the field like just didn't see
- 8:36Speaker 4: it coming. Took what was a little aggressive following him
- 8:38Speaker 4: inside and it burned him and the guy scores a touchdown.
- 8:42Speaker 7: That happens. It's the first day.
- 8:44Speaker 4: On defense and training camp, right, but there's something there
- 8:47Speaker 4: and his work ethics there to go learn both sides,
- 8:50Speaker 4: and you know what if they have to reel it
- 8:51Speaker 4: back later, okay, so be it. Let him do everything now.
- 8:56Speaker 4: They have a great plan in place, and see what happens.
- 8:59Speaker 4: And if they have to pull him back and pull
- 9:00Speaker 4: the reins a little bit, they will. I like him
- 9:02Speaker 4: a lot. I like the speed of Diamy Brown.
- 9:05Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 9:06Speaker 4: Nice, that's been fun to watch, at least early against
- 9:09Speaker 4: you know, no pads and things. And then on the
- 9:12Speaker 4: defensive side, the defensive backs had a really good day
- 9:15Speaker 4: on Friday. A lot of deflected balls, a couple of
- 9:17Speaker 4: interceptions in the red zone. Chot Mama, Reese's friend Minebacker
- 9:22Speaker 4: had the one arm band and had the catch right.
- 9:24Speaker 4: He has a club on his right hand and got
- 9:25Speaker 4: the deflected ball. I mean, so there's there was some
- 9:27Speaker 4: good defensive plays.
- 9:28Speaker 7: So that's what we're talking about the mix.
- 9:30Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's like we said, it's a build up period.
- 9:33Speaker 4: They're not wearing pads yet. Really, Monday Tuesday is when
- 9:36Speaker 4: we're gonna find out a whole.
- 9:37Speaker 6: Lot on Travis Hunter Reese.
- 9:40Speaker 3: It seems like he's having a good time as well,
- 9:43Speaker 3: like body language wise, he seems to be enjoying himself.
- 9:45Speaker 5: Yeah, it's so funny. Like I was looking back to
- 9:49Speaker 5: last year where JP, would you know, tell me Reese,
- 9:53Speaker 5: we are weeks away from the draft please And I
- 9:57Speaker 5: won't say the exact words, shut up talking about Javins Hunter.
- 10:01Speaker 5: But I was like, when you have the generational players, obviously,
- 10:05Speaker 5: like you were saying, JP, the players don't care about that.
- 10:07Speaker 5: They're trying to win every game. But obviously, as a
- 10:10Speaker 5: you're kind of thinking like what I was thinking, Oh,
- 10:13Speaker 5: if it does work out like that, we could be
- 10:15Speaker 5: able to get him and then to trade up for
- 10:17Speaker 5: him was pretty amazing. But the one thing I said
- 10:19Speaker 5: to him before we actually sat down with him was
- 10:22Speaker 5: you remember that first game Colorado TCU.
- 10:25Speaker 7: I called the game on radio.
- 10:26Speaker 5: I was there that first game. The height around it
- 10:32Speaker 5: felt like the media wanted Colorado to fail or Dion
- 10:36Speaker 5: to foul or I think the alter was something like
- 10:38Speaker 5: they gave TCU forty points or something crazy like that.
- 10:41Speaker 7: It wasn't that many.
- 10:42Speaker 4: It's a huge number, but TCU had gone to the
- 10:44Speaker 4: National Championship Game the year before and they had lost
- 10:47Speaker 4: to Georgia. They got blown out by Georgia in that game,
- 10:50Speaker 4: like sixty something to set. That was ridiculous. But they
- 10:53Speaker 4: had a lot of that team back, not the starting quarterback.
- 10:56Speaker 4: They were missing some key players. But then here comes
- 10:59Speaker 4: Colorado with an new coaching Dion. All these transfer guys
- 11:02Speaker 4: coming in, like it was like forty something incoming transfers,
- 11:06Speaker 4: which at that time was unheard of in college football,
- 11:09Speaker 4: and a lot of them from at the FCS level,
- 11:12Speaker 4: the level below the Football Both subdivision. So it's like, oh, okay,
- 11:16Speaker 4: can these guys really hang? But then you realized you
- 11:19Speaker 4: remembered and the prep it's like, oh, wait a minute.
- 11:21Speaker 4: Travis Hunter was a five star, which is the top
- 11:25Speaker 4: tier recruit out of high school, and was committed to
- 11:27Speaker 4: Florida State and on the last day before signing day,
- 11:32Speaker 4: Dion stole him to go to Jackson State in the
- 11:35Speaker 4: Championship Subdivision. So that talent has always been there. It's
- 11:39Speaker 4: always there. It was there in recruiting, it was there
- 11:41Speaker 4: in one DOUBLEA now called FCS. And then he shows
- 11:45Speaker 4: up in Fort Worth in the road game. It's like, oh,
- 11:46Speaker 4: wait a minute. And it didn't take long. A couple
- 11:48Speaker 4: of players you're like, Oh, that's that's why he was.
- 11:51Speaker 7: A five star recruit.
- 11:52Speaker 4: The way he moves, the way he reacted to the
- 11:54Speaker 4: football's I think that day reci had eleven catches yep,
- 11:57Speaker 4: and he had an interception which was he broke off
- 12:00Speaker 4: this guy jumped the round on the running back, insane
- 12:03Speaker 4: diving catch. I mean he was all over the field
- 12:05Speaker 4: and it was a back and forth game and Colorado
- 12:09Speaker 4: won the game.
- 12:09Speaker 7: Is shocked college football.
- 12:10Speaker 5: And that was the thing. And the question was people
- 12:13Speaker 5: were asking him them and the media was saying them,
- 12:16Speaker 5: we're in college football. It can he do both ways?
- 12:19Speaker 5: Can he do it? Can he do it on a
- 12:21Speaker 5: stage like this? So before the interac asked him, you know,
- 12:24Speaker 5: do you feel anything about them saying the same thing
- 12:27Speaker 5: now in the NFL, and he has such this relaxed
- 12:29Speaker 5: demeanor where he's so confident, not arrogantly confident, where it's
- 12:34Speaker 5: going to put in your face, but it's like he knows,
- 12:39Speaker 5: he has that conviction that he knows he can and
- 12:42Speaker 5: I think that comes out when we speak to him.
- 12:45Speaker 2: Yeah, you had hold it there, hold it there, because
- 12:48Speaker 2: you know, should we just hear from him. Let's hear
- 12:49Speaker 2: from him now, shall we? Reese sat down with Travis Hunter.
- 12:54Speaker 5: Travis Hunter said to me, brother, great, how are you doing.
- 12:59Speaker 5: I'm really well. It feels like we're family. I'm a
- 13:01Speaker 5: conord of Buffalo fans as well, and I feel like
- 13:05Speaker 5: we're distant cousins in some sense. I'm claiming your family.
- 13:09Speaker 5: I got you, I got you.
- 13:10Speaker 1: That's good.
- 13:11Speaker 5: Well, I've practice here in Jacksonville. What's it been like
- 13:14Speaker 5: so far and does it feel like home already?
- 13:17Speaker 8: Yeah, it's been feeling like, you know, I'm from here.
- 13:20Speaker 8: Probably like four hours is my hometown away from here,
- 13:23Speaker 8: so I'm from here. It's been great out there with
- 13:25Speaker 8: the guys, just learning the new stuff, new techniques and
- 13:28Speaker 8: learning the playbook.
- 13:29Speaker 1: It's been great for me.
- 13:30Speaker 5: Well, it does feel serendipitous in a sense of I know,
- 13:33Speaker 5: I remember seeing a clip where you came to the
- 13:35Speaker 5: stadium and you're like, I'm coming here. Did you feel
- 13:39Speaker 5: like it just made sense?
- 13:41Speaker 8: Yeah, it definitely makes sense.
- 13:43Speaker 5: It felt like when I was back in college.
- 13:44Speaker 8: It felt like it was something special for me because
- 13:47Speaker 8: I've never been in the NFL stadium for real, so
- 13:49Speaker 8: it's like kind of my first stadium to actually play in.
- 13:52Speaker 5: And how do you feel when it feels like a
- 13:54Speaker 5: lot of people fans of media, we'll talk about, oh
- 13:56Speaker 5: can you do it two way? In the NFL? I'm
- 14:00Speaker 5: like yes, But for you, do you feel like you
- 14:03Speaker 5: still have to prove that or are you kind of
- 14:06Speaker 5: I know I can do it, so I'm just going
- 14:07Speaker 5: to do it.
- 14:08Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 14:08Speaker 8: I don't feel like I have to prove anything to anybody.
- 14:10Speaker 8: I just go out there and just be myself. If
- 14:12Speaker 8: I felt like I had to do something for someone else,
- 14:15Speaker 8: it's just not for me. So I just go out
- 14:16Speaker 8: there and do my thing.
- 14:17Speaker 5: And what's it like playing both sides in terms of
- 14:20Speaker 5: when you're an offense, you're going against the defense. When
- 14:23Speaker 5: you're on defense, you're going against the offense. How has
- 14:25Speaker 5: it been with the players in terms of that balance?
- 14:29Speaker 8: It's been great because in the locker room where we
- 14:31Speaker 8: see across from each other, so we talk select to
- 14:32Speaker 8: each other every day. We try to help each other
- 14:35Speaker 8: as best as we can. Because at the end of
- 14:36Speaker 8: the day, with teammates and brothers.
- 14:38Speaker 5: Who's the player that you feel like you talks back
- 14:40Speaker 5: to the most that you feel like you've got that
- 14:42Speaker 5: relationship where you can go back and forth.
- 14:44Speaker 8: It's fribably Garran. I'll talk about to him a lot
- 14:49Speaker 8: in BT and Dummy All. We're always talking to mess
- 14:52Speaker 8: around with each other.
- 14:53Speaker 5: So you're coming to London. You've never been to Europe before,
- 14:57Speaker 5: so this is going to be the first time. What's
- 14:59Speaker 5: your expert dis on London? And then we'll get to
- 15:03Speaker 5: the stadium as well after.
- 15:04Speaker 8: I don't have no expectations. I just want to have
- 15:06Speaker 8: a great time and hopefully we come out.
- 15:08Speaker 5: With a win and playing Wembley. Are you excited to
- 15:13Speaker 5: play Wembley? And have you done? I'm gonna have to
- 15:15Speaker 5: send you loads of YouTube links the historic Wembley games.
- 15:19Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm definitely excited to play there. I just can't
- 15:21Speaker 8: wait to get there. I know it's a long flight,
- 15:23Speaker 8: but I'm definitely excited to get there. I just want
- 15:26Speaker 8: to see I just want to see how it looks
- 15:28Speaker 8: because in high school I took a German class and
- 15:31Speaker 8: we've seen a lot of pictures, so I want to
- 15:33Speaker 8: I want to see like the pictures match up with
- 15:35Speaker 8: what I'm seeing in person.
- 15:36Speaker 5: And I have to talk to you about one thing.
- 15:39Speaker 5: Your passion for fishing. Where does it come from? And
- 15:42Speaker 5: I've never fished before. Why should people fish?
- 15:46Speaker 8: I say people should fish.
- 15:47Speaker 5: It's exciting.
- 15:48Speaker 8: You know, it's a lot of patience, but when you
- 15:50Speaker 8: catch your first fish, you just get addicting. You want
- 15:53Speaker 8: to just be out there all day and show people
- 15:54Speaker 8: like I can catch the biggest fish. So it's definitely fun.
- 15:57Speaker 8: It's exciting for me, and it just comes just and chill.
- 15:59Speaker 5: On the wa. Okay, Travis, you're gonna have to pick
- 16:02Speaker 5: one game winning touchdown game and then pick I.
- 16:08Speaker 8: Mean, it doesn't matter to me. As long as we
- 16:11Speaker 8: win the game, that's all that matters. So I really
- 16:13Speaker 8: don't pick. I just hopefully they both come to me.
- 16:17Speaker 5: I feel like the next time someone asks you that
- 16:18Speaker 5: you should say game winning field goal by yeah, I'm
- 16:24Speaker 5: taking the field goal. In ten years, let's say your
- 16:28Speaker 5: legacy in the league, in the game. What do you
- 16:31Speaker 5: feel like you'd love for a young Travis to think
- 16:36Speaker 5: of you when he watches you and looks at your career.
- 16:39Speaker 8: I'd probably say that he was super confident in himself.
- 16:42Speaker 8: He didn't let anyone or people talk bad, you know,
- 16:46Speaker 8: and tell him that he couldn't do something. He just
- 16:48Speaker 8: sticked to hisself and he just continued to grind and
- 16:50Speaker 8: continue to work and didn't really talk much about it.
- 16:53Speaker 8: He just wanted to work and just have fun doing it.
- 16:56Speaker 5: As thank you, Travis.
- 16:58Speaker 2: Reach having a conversation with Travis Hunter over in Jacksonville. Look,
- 17:02Speaker 2: we knew beforehand, didn't we. We're not only is he
- 17:06Speaker 2: a confident player, as someone who is you know, we
- 17:08Speaker 2: might see on both sides of the ball. But more
- 17:10Speaker 2: than anything else, keen fisherman, recent keen fisherman.
- 17:13Speaker 1: He is.
- 17:15Speaker 5: I feel like a man from JP's.
- 17:16Speaker 6: Own heart there.
- 17:17Speaker 4: So what I mean it's he already had two boats somehow.
- 17:20Speaker 4: It tells you how well he did in college financially.
- 17:22Speaker 4: It's the new world of college football, right, So he
- 17:25Speaker 4: said he was going The first thing he was do
- 17:26Speaker 4: was gonna bring those down here because he got a
- 17:28Speaker 4: house here now. And I mean I've heard him say
- 17:31Speaker 4: before that all he does is football and fishings. So
- 17:33Speaker 4: there's plenty of places to fish here in Jacksonville in
- 17:37Speaker 4: all kind of different life. There's freshwater fishing in the river,
- 17:40Speaker 4: there's brackish fishing up the river close to the ocean,
- 17:43Speaker 4: and then there's saltwater out.
- 17:44Speaker 7: In the ocean. So you got all different types.
- 17:47Speaker 4: You want to go fish for bass, you go down
- 17:48Speaker 4: south and it's just fresh water, and come up here
- 17:51Speaker 4: you get sheep's head on a little jetty. Or you
- 17:53Speaker 4: can go out deep water and get all the saltwater
- 17:55Speaker 4: fishing want. And it is a fishing paradise here. He's
- 17:57Speaker 4: gonna love it on his day's off.
- 17:59Speaker 1: He's pretty quick.
- 18:00Speaker 2: If you do bump into him again, can you just
- 18:02Speaker 2: please let him know that we do actually have free
- 18:05Speaker 2: on till talk a fishing segment if he ever wants
- 18:08Speaker 2: to host it.
- 18:09Speaker 1: What do you reckon?
- 18:10Speaker 5: I'm passing that arm.
- 18:12Speaker 3: Let's ask him, I reckon if down Also, Jay, he
- 18:15Speaker 3: was incredibly excited about playing in the UK as well,
- 18:18Speaker 3: because he has a connection with Europe and I'd learned
- 18:21Speaker 3: languages and so yeah, he's very excited to blame in
- 18:24Speaker 3: the UK. His wife, I think, is up in Germany,
- 18:27Speaker 3: I'm going to say, and so he's very interested in
- 18:31Speaker 3: the history.
- 18:32Speaker 2: Well, look, you know that we do need to bring
- 18:34Speaker 2: up as well that if you don't, if you're listening
- 18:36Speaker 2: to this right now and you don't have tickets to
- 18:38Speaker 2: see Travis Hunter, to see Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium
- 18:42Speaker 2: against the La Rams yet, you can go and get them.
- 18:46Speaker 2: I'll talk a bit more about it at the moment,
- 18:47Speaker 2: but it's on October nineteenth at Wembley. If you head
- 18:50Speaker 2: to Jaguars dot co dot UK the direct link right
- 18:53Speaker 2: there to get to your tickets. So we've spoken about
- 18:56Speaker 2: Travis Hunter, let's speak about some of the other people
- 18:58Speaker 2: that you've managed to catch up with, Key Reese, JP,
- 19:02Speaker 2: let's go with should we go with my cousin Trevor?
- 19:05Speaker 2: Shall he Trevor Lawrence? What's new with him? How is he?
- 19:09Speaker 1: You know, what's he looking like in training camp?
- 19:11Speaker 5: Go on, Reese, Well, I think the first thing we
- 19:13Speaker 5: need to address is when I asked him what was
- 19:17Speaker 5: it like changing nappies? He went, yea, I'll call them nappies,
- 19:24Speaker 5: So that was interesting. I think it's really interested him
- 19:28Speaker 5: mix in fatherhood with football. I feel like he's found
- 19:30Speaker 5: a really nice balance there and he spoke about that,
- 19:33Speaker 5: which was great. We asked him about Brian Thomas Junior
- 19:36Speaker 5: and now having another weapon in Travis, and you can
- 19:40Speaker 5: tell he was genuinely, very very excited by that. But
- 19:43Speaker 5: I think the main part I took from him was
- 19:46Speaker 5: with coach Cohen coming in, he he kind of leant
- 19:51Speaker 5: into having clear direction and deeply understanding each scheme and
- 19:57Speaker 5: that seems to be a main focus that he's getting
- 19:59Speaker 5: from the OC and coach Cohen as well, and that
- 20:03Speaker 5: really came through. He just kept going back to just
- 20:07Speaker 5: know what we're doing on each play, and not on
- 20:10Speaker 5: a service level, but really understand what you're trying to.
- 20:13Speaker 6: Do using the word detail, haven't they.
- 20:14Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, And that goes back to and maybe this
- 20:19Speaker 5: is something interesting. I'm not sure if you've noticed this
- 20:20Speaker 5: JP since he's been here, but when we spoke to
- 20:23Speaker 5: Coach Cohen as well, we've got the opportunity to speak
- 20:25Speaker 5: to coach. He was like, I basically just want to
- 20:28Speaker 5: speak to each player as a human being. And I
- 20:31Speaker 5: don't know if that's maybe an age thing. Younger slightly
- 20:35Speaker 5: younger coach, and he's not going to come at them
- 20:38Speaker 5: like a kind of older.
- 20:40Speaker 3: Very different Tony Pselli and Tom Coughlin, I'll put it
- 20:43Speaker 3: that way.
- 20:44Speaker 6: What do you think it's a new era?
- 20:45Speaker 4: I mean it's a new era of athlete and these
- 20:48Speaker 4: guys are in their early twenties and take coaching a
- 20:52Speaker 4: lot of times, not all the times, but many times
- 20:56Speaker 4: a little differently than they might have twenty five years ago.
- 20:59Speaker 4: So the coach from Liam Cohen, who is still in
- 21:02Speaker 4: his thirties, might be much different than Doug Peterson who
- 21:06Speaker 4: is you know, a grizzled old backup quarterback in the
- 21:09Speaker 4: league and was behind Brent farre and there was no
- 21:12Speaker 4: room for any of that.
- 21:14Speaker 7: You know, you had to be hard and you had
- 21:16Speaker 7: to be tough, and that's what it was.
- 21:18Speaker 4: And that's fine. There's a way to do that. You
- 21:20Speaker 4: could still win. He won a super Bowl like that, right,
- 21:22Speaker 4: So there's a balance here and but.
- 21:26Speaker 6: A strip but there's more new ones.
- 21:29Speaker 7: Yeah, and you can't coach everybody the same. That's the tricky.
- 21:32Speaker 4: You got to know who can handle that type of
- 21:34Speaker 4: coaching and maybe you have to have a little more
- 21:37Speaker 4: delicate sensibility with and that's okay. I mean that's just
- 21:40Speaker 4: every person's different and that's just knowing your football team.
- 21:43Speaker 4: And I think that will grow with Liam Cohen the
- 21:45Speaker 4: longer he's around too, and the more new guys come
- 21:48Speaker 4: in and the team develops and evolves and he's around
- 21:51Speaker 4: him more. I think that that kind of thing. It's
- 21:54Speaker 4: not over yet. I mean, you know that's still going
- 21:57Speaker 4: to grow as training camp goes, as the season goes.
- 21:59Speaker 5: Next season dr but also an interesting year for Trevor
- 22:03Speaker 5: as well. You know, we didn't kind of get to
- 22:06Speaker 5: ask him that I guess in our time with him,
- 22:08Speaker 5: but you know, you mentioned overreacting and I was going
- 22:12Speaker 5: to go into is it is it not make or break?
- 22:14Speaker 5: But I feel like it's a huge year for him
- 22:17Speaker 5: and you kind of see it in I feel like
- 22:19Speaker 5: a lot of the Jags fans on any clip that
- 22:21Speaker 5: we post with Trevor in it's like I want everyone's like,
- 22:25Speaker 5: I really want Trevor to do speak well this year,
- 22:27Speaker 5: but I feel like this and next year are and
- 22:30Speaker 5: he probably knows that. But he's got this very relaxed,
- 22:33Speaker 5: focused kind of aura to him which couldn't have come
- 22:38Speaker 5: at you know, you feel like it's always been like that,
- 22:40Speaker 5: very relaxed, but couldn't have come at a better time,
- 22:42Speaker 5: especially for this year.
- 22:43Speaker 7: It let's be honest with it.
- 22:44Speaker 4: I mean, it's not make or break because he has
- 22:47Speaker 4: his contract or yeah, he's getting a guarantee contract with
- 22:50Speaker 4: what twenty thirty, twenty whatever.
- 22:51Speaker 5: But in terms of expectations, that's.
- 22:53Speaker 4: The point, right right, that's the different part. Financially, he's fine,
- 22:56Speaker 4: he's not fighting for a contract. That's not the push.
- 22:59Speaker 4: Push is the performance on the field to live up
- 23:02Speaker 4: to that time, and that's that's something that's relatively new
- 23:05Speaker 4: to Okay, I have to actually go perform and get.
- 23:09Speaker 7: This team to the next level. Even if he doesn't
- 23:12Speaker 7: perform well.
- 23:12Speaker 4: If the team performs well and he makes that happen,
- 23:16Speaker 4: maybe not statistically, winning matters. If he's the guy that
- 23:19Speaker 4: helps the running game go better and they win on that, fine.
- 23:23Speaker 7: If he's throwing for forty five hundred.
- 23:24Speaker 6: Yards, it's more than throwing balls, isn't it.
- 23:27Speaker 4: Absolutely, So it's all that combined. He's got to stay
- 23:30Speaker 4: healthy too. I mean, he's been hurt the last two years,
- 23:33Speaker 4: so of it's his own fault running around and diving
- 23:35Speaker 4: ahead first in the sideline.
- 23:36Speaker 7: What are you doing? He knows that, and you just
- 23:39Speaker 7: got to learn and.
- 23:41Speaker 4: Adjust as you're playing style, especially out of the pocket
- 23:44Speaker 4: a little bit, and I think he'll do that.
- 23:46Speaker 7: That's the push though. It's not the money. It's living
- 23:49Speaker 7: up to the money.
- 23:49Speaker 6: Now.
- 23:50Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, we've spoken about a couple of people on
- 23:53Speaker 2: the you know that are going to be on the
- 23:55Speaker 2: offensive side of ball of the ball. I suppose you
- 23:57Speaker 2: could say obviously that Travis Hunt's own both, but let's
- 24:00Speaker 2: move over to the defensive side.
- 24:02Speaker 1: I know that you've been.
- 24:03Speaker 2: Able to catch up Reese with let's say Trayvon Walker,
- 24:07Speaker 2: for example, Tyson Campbell.
- 24:09Speaker 1: You've managed to catch up with, haven't you.
- 24:10Speaker 5: Yeah, both of them, Tyson and Travon as well. Both
- 24:15Speaker 5: look both, like I feel like, very similar in terms
- 24:18Speaker 5: of I say, underrated or underappreciated by the wider league.
- 24:23Speaker 5: But definitely two players, especially Trayvon. When you look at
- 24:25Speaker 5: these numbers, you know, double digit sack years. How's this
- 24:28Speaker 5: guy up there with some of.
- 24:30Speaker 3: The best in terms of why Sorry to interrupt you, Reese,
- 24:33Speaker 3: but when you asked him about the double digits and
- 24:36Speaker 3: you know, maybe that'll happen this year, Travon was like, no,
- 24:40Speaker 3: that is going to happen. There was no doubt in
- 24:43Speaker 3: his mind. That's the bare minimum that's going to happen
- 24:45Speaker 3: for him this year.
- 24:46Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, he he knows. He's very convicted
- 24:50Speaker 5: on that as well. And I feel like Tyson, maybe
- 24:53Speaker 5: it's good having Travis in there as well, brings competition,
- 24:57Speaker 5: brings up competition, definitely good. Actually, if this is someone
- 25:00Speaker 5: that's coming in with a name and a brand, and
- 25:03Speaker 5: you know, Tyson's probably gonna look at that and be like,
- 25:06Speaker 5: I'm Tyson Campbell, you know, so Yeah, they both looked
- 25:10Speaker 5: and great conversation and they both seem very excited for
- 25:14Speaker 5: this year. And I think again similar to the offense
- 25:17Speaker 5: with the new DC as well in Campanile, same mindset,
- 25:22Speaker 5: detail oriented, you, very focused and knows what. They both
- 25:27Speaker 5: said that DC knows what he wants. So yeah, it
- 25:32Speaker 5: seems like they're primed for the big years, both of them.
- 25:34Speaker 4: Yeah, Anthony Campanilli is about as clear a communicator as
- 25:38Speaker 4: you want in that defensive meeting rooms will I understand that,
- 25:41Speaker 4: but in there I don't think he holds any punches,
- 25:44Speaker 4: Like if he doesn't like something, he'll tell you why
- 25:47Speaker 4: in a very direct manner said and if he loves you, great,
- 25:52Speaker 4: that's cool. But I think there might have been some
- 25:55Speaker 4: of that lacking, especially on defense the last couple, you know,
- 25:59Speaker 4: iterations of defensive coordinators, which there have been a couple
- 26:03Speaker 4: in Doug Peterson's era, right.
- 26:05Speaker 7: So clarity there helps. I haven't really had a chance
- 26:09Speaker 7: to see a lot.
- 26:09Speaker 4: Of what the scheme entails yet again, no pads and
- 26:12Speaker 4: you know you're not really looking yet. I think Trayvon
- 26:14Speaker 4: Walker last year they asked him all to add weight
- 26:18Speaker 4: on the defensive line and it just slowed everybody down.
- 26:21Speaker 4: It felt like he's trimmed some weight, kind of balanced
- 26:25Speaker 4: it out a little more, a little more muscle, like
- 26:28Speaker 4: he a little toned up.
- 26:29Speaker 7: You know, he's already a big guy and strong anyway, but.
- 26:33Speaker 4: His body style has morphed a little bit back to
- 26:37Speaker 4: what it should be. It feels like to me, he
- 26:40Speaker 4: said that Trayvon Walker, okay, looked different.
- 26:44Speaker 5: I felt bigger of strength.
- 26:47Speaker 4: And then like he's lost some weight. He was a
- 26:49Speaker 4: little heavier I think last season than Lloyd was, and
- 26:51Speaker 4: he's trimmed off a lot of that. For lack of
- 26:53Speaker 4: a better term, baby fat. It wasn't baby, it was
- 26:55Speaker 4: just he was. They asked everybody to get bigger.
- 26:57Speaker 5: Yeah, who's who's Who's that? DC would have said, the
- 27:02Speaker 5: new strength cage.
- 27:04Speaker 4: Yeah that changed when all all regime change. Hey, we
- 27:07Speaker 4: need you guys, this is what we prefer. What do
- 27:10Speaker 4: you guys think?
- 27:10Speaker 7: They probably had them in there as well to see
- 27:12Speaker 7: what they thought about how they played at that.
- 27:14Speaker 4: Late didn't play that well overall. Okay, let's adjusting, you know,
- 27:18Speaker 4: and that's fine to travel on. It's hard to believe
- 27:20Speaker 4: he's in this fourth year.
- 27:21Speaker 2: Trayvon Walker already so speaking about that, you know, bringing
- 27:24Speaker 2: up the regime regime change, which sounds very scary actually
- 27:28Speaker 2: put in the phrase regime change, doesn't it slightly intimidating.
- 27:30Speaker 2: But the let's bring up coach Cohen because as much
- 27:34Speaker 2: as it's you know, great, this sided Atlantic being able
- 27:36Speaker 2: to read whatever, watch interviews and stuff, JP, You're you're
- 27:42Speaker 2: there already, but you know, Reese, Key for you being
- 27:45Speaker 2: there over the last few days, what have you made
- 27:48Speaker 2: of him? What have you have you been able to
- 27:49Speaker 2: catch up with him at all?
- 27:50Speaker 3: So, Jay, I'm very fortunate that this is my third
- 27:53Speaker 3: year coming out here to do this stuff, all of
- 27:57Speaker 3: this content. Not to rub it in mate, maybe maybe
- 27:59Speaker 3: next year, right, but anyway, that we sat down with
- 28:03Speaker 3: Coach Cohen yesterday and I'm not just saying it probably
- 28:06Speaker 3: my favorite interview we've ever done.
- 28:09Speaker 6: He he's a different kind of beast in my opinion.
- 28:14Speaker 3: He is exciting, he's committed, and I know, I know
- 28:21Speaker 3: I say this a lot, J, but it feels different.
- 28:24Speaker 6: It feels different this time, and I'm excited by him.
- 28:27Speaker 1: Feel different.
- 28:27Speaker 6: Key, he feels different. J.
- 28:30Speaker 5: What do you think Race, Yeah, I think I think JP.
- 28:34Speaker 5: You kind of alluded to it. It's two complete different personalities.
- 28:39Speaker 5: So yeah, you know it's going to write like coach Peterson,
- 28:44Speaker 5: you know, very different feel because we spayed to him.
- 28:48Speaker 5: I think it was two years ago when we were
- 28:49Speaker 5: in Yes, I think with Coach Cohen it's it's more
- 28:53Speaker 5: of the youthful energy. So I would guess I'm not
- 28:59Speaker 5: I'm not been a professional athlete, but I would assume
- 29:02Speaker 5: not yet. Not yet.
- 29:04Speaker 1: I would assume it really goes down just walks on
- 29:06Speaker 1: the beach, rees walks on.
- 29:09Speaker 5: But I would assume it goes down to the player
- 29:12Speaker 5: and the majority of players even resonating with someone that's
- 29:15Speaker 5: going to approach them in that way and is closer
- 29:18Speaker 5: in age perhaps, or some players will resonate more with
- 29:21Speaker 5: Doug and be like I prefer that almost like father figurely,
- 29:25Speaker 5: So it's going to be different for different players. So
- 29:29Speaker 5: well seen. The only thing I can say with the
- 29:31Speaker 5: people that we spoke to so far, it seems like
- 29:33Speaker 5: this is this is resonating. But at the same time,
- 29:37Speaker 5: I very doubt they were going to turn around and say, no,
- 29:38Speaker 5: it's not, you know. So it's like I think, like
- 29:42Speaker 5: you said, JP, it's it's so early and you know
- 29:46Speaker 5: what if you don't mind me saying we spoke about
- 29:48Speaker 5: it last night when we may have had a few unsweeties. Yes,
- 29:53Speaker 5: thank you, we said, and I think I think you
- 29:57Speaker 5: said it really well. Well, let's just wait three games in.
- 30:02Speaker 5: Let's just wait three to five games in and then
- 30:04Speaker 5: and then let's see, uh, that same energy you can.
- 30:09Speaker 4: Talk about to your point, hold on, It's like you
- 30:12Speaker 4: can have adversity in training camp, and you can have
- 30:14Speaker 4: injuries and that it really gets real in September. And
- 30:18Speaker 4: we have seen teams have great training camps and win
- 30:21Speaker 4: all their preseason games and get through and there's confidence,
- 30:24Speaker 4: and then they're zero and three and then all hell
- 30:27Speaker 4: breaks loose and mentalities change and you know, schedules daily
- 30:34Speaker 4: change and there's all this chaos and just everybody's freaking out.
- 30:40Speaker 4: That's where you're gonna find out, like if if there's
- 30:43Speaker 4: consistent you know, we're going through this no matter what.
- 30:46Speaker 4: This is our program, this is what we do, and
- 30:48Speaker 4: nobody's panicking.
- 30:50Speaker 7: Cool. You don't know that until you know it for real.
- 30:54Speaker 4: It's a first time head coach and a first time
- 30:56Speaker 4: staff in a lot of ways, and you know, certainly
- 30:58Speaker 4: the head coach when there is adversity in the season.
- 31:02Speaker 4: How's he going to handle it because he's he's had
- 31:05Speaker 4: some positive years as an offensive coordinator, two different levels,
- 31:09Speaker 4: different animal when you're running the whole ship.
- 31:12Speaker 6: On.
- 31:13Speaker 2: From a fans perspective, I think it's fair to say
- 31:15Speaker 2: that we all our judgments are definitive by this time
- 31:19Speaker 2: of the year.
- 31:19Speaker 1: JP, I'm afraid to say every team is winning the Super.
- 31:27Speaker 2: Well, let me talk to me, key, Talk to me key,
- 31:29Speaker 2: because you know you mentioned Travis Hunter is really excited
- 31:32Speaker 2: to go to the UK.
- 31:33Speaker 1: Is Coach Cohen said anything?
- 31:35Speaker 5: Yes?
- 31:35Speaker 3: So, first off, the story of it being Coach Cohen
- 31:39Speaker 3: and James Gladstone coming over to the UK to face
- 31:42Speaker 3: the Rams. I love this, stormy considering their history with
- 31:46Speaker 3: the Rams, I think that's fantastic. But yeah, when Reese
- 31:49Speaker 3: was sitting down with Coach con in Factories, I'll just
- 31:52Speaker 3: I'll let you tell it. But how excited was he
- 31:54Speaker 3: for London?
- 31:55Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 31:55Speaker 5: Well he was excited, and I think more importantly, he
- 31:57Speaker 5: was so excited for his wife, Yea to go to
- 31:59Speaker 5: London again because her favorite country in the world is England.
- 32:05Speaker 5: It's gonna say the UK and go my head. Not
- 32:08Speaker 5: so much geography yeah, thanks, but no, he's super excited
- 32:13Speaker 5: and he's looking forward to taking his family in.
- 32:16Speaker 6: His favorite city was London, right city?
- 32:18Speaker 5: Thank you country, Yeah, that's right city. And I said
- 32:22Speaker 5: to him as well, I said, what's it going to
- 32:24Speaker 5: be like when you're leading the team. It's a bit
- 32:27Speaker 5: different being there before, but when it's you leading the
- 32:31Speaker 5: team out in Wembley, what's that going to be like?
- 32:34Speaker 5: And he I think he alluded to watching a video
- 32:38Speaker 5: a few years back of was it mister Khn's Was
- 32:42Speaker 5: it an interview with mister car at Wembley or in London?
- 32:46Speaker 5: And he said it gave twenty four hours with mister
- 32:48Speaker 5: Carn Yes, yes, and they showed the Wembley part and
- 32:51Speaker 5: he said he just got goosebumps. So it's quite cool
- 32:54Speaker 5: to know that, you know, even the head coach of
- 32:56Speaker 5: the Jags is going on you know, YouTube or wherever
- 32:59Speaker 5: and having as at old videos, probably late at night,
- 33:02Speaker 5: get himself mentally prepared for what's to come. So, you know,
- 33:05Speaker 5: very open and honest of him to share that with us.
- 33:08Speaker 5: So there was a lot of excitement, do you.
- 33:10Speaker 3: Know what ja Just a lot of personal connections, Ky, yeah,
- 33:13Speaker 3: very good, just to pick up on that right that
- 33:15Speaker 3: there are two rip things that people are everyone that
- 33:19Speaker 3: we've spoken to is responding to really really positively.
- 33:22Speaker 6: One is the new coaches.
- 33:25Speaker 3: Everyone smiles when we start talking to them about the
- 33:28Speaker 3: new coaches. And the second thing is when we start
- 33:30Speaker 3: talking to people about Wembley. Everyone either that has played there,
- 33:35Speaker 3: has loved it or is really excited to do it
- 33:38Speaker 3: for the first time.
- 33:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm going to say it again.
- 33:41Speaker 2: Tickets still available for La Rams versus the Jaguars Wembley
- 33:45Speaker 2: October nineteenth. If your head to Jaguars dot co dot UK.
- 33:49Speaker 2: There's a direct link on the homepage and you'll also
- 33:51Speaker 2: find hospitality links on there too. I mean it's fair
- 33:54Speaker 2: to say as well, you know, after you know what
- 33:56Speaker 2: we're hearing from you guys are men on the ground.
- 33:58Speaker 2: I suppose in Jacksonville, this is not a game that
- 34:01Speaker 2: anybody should miss.
- 34:02Speaker 1: I just does it feel different? Key, because it just
- 34:04Speaker 1: feels different.
- 34:05Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna threw to JP on this
- 34:08Speaker 3: because JP has been to every single one of them.
- 34:10Speaker 7: Yeah, I want to say.
- 34:10Speaker 4: That's like, if you don't have tickets, now what are
- 34:12Speaker 4: you doing? Yeah, that's all I wanted to say this
- 34:14Speaker 4: is a great matchup.
- 34:15Speaker 7: The LA Rams are really good. Uh, they have a
- 34:18Speaker 7: chance to be spectacular this year. In the NFC.
- 34:21Speaker 4: It's a group that you know, James Ladstone was there,
- 34:24Speaker 4: the GM was in that staff in LA for a
- 34:26Speaker 4: long time. There's connections with Liam Cohen. I mean, there's
- 34:30Speaker 4: all these connections between those two organizations. And you know,
- 34:35Speaker 4: if the Jaguars can get things going offensively early in
- 34:38Speaker 4: the season, this thing could be up and down the field.
- 34:41Speaker 7: It feels like, you know, I'm just on paper. So
- 34:43Speaker 7: I don't know. If you don't have tickets to Wimbley for.
- 34:45Speaker 4: Rams Jaguars, I mean, you know, check yourself. I mean,
- 34:49Speaker 4: this is you gotta go get them now, like this
- 34:50Speaker 4: is the time to do.
- 34:52Speaker 5: I think we all though it last year and every
- 34:55Speaker 5: year that we've been but I think I don't have
- 34:59Speaker 5: kids said perhaps I'm not best to speak on this,
- 35:01Speaker 5: but I think as well, just as a family day out, yes,
- 35:06Speaker 5: not everyone in the family has to.
- 35:07Speaker 6: Be I would edit the Big Doctor Wembley, Yes.
- 35:12Speaker 5: But no everyone has to be into American football. But
- 35:15Speaker 5: I do feel like it's experience. It also suddenly do you.
- 35:21Speaker 7: Become a fan. There's what it's like the best thing.
- 35:24Speaker 7: And I say this every time. Not every time, but
- 35:26Speaker 7: a lot of times. I'm on with you. Guys are
- 35:28Speaker 7: on UK and different places or whatever.
- 35:31Speaker 4: Like the game day going to Wembley from now, I'm
- 35:34Speaker 4: here and I'm not there all the time. But when
- 35:38Speaker 4: you get off the train the underground that was at
- 35:42Speaker 4: Wembley Park and you walk down Olympic Way and the
- 35:45Speaker 4: archers there and all the vendors are out, and there's
- 35:48Speaker 4: people going towards the stadium and you can like veer
- 35:51Speaker 4: off and go to different pubs and restaurants and things
- 35:54Speaker 4: if you want, or you can go right into the stadium.
- 35:57Speaker 4: That walk, like it tells me, it is the To me,
- 36:02Speaker 4: it's like the biggest world of end of the day
- 36:05Speaker 4: because everybody the time that game has played in theory
- 36:10Speaker 4: can watch that game around the world, from the far
- 36:12Speaker 4: East to two thirty in London, to nine am on
- 36:16Speaker 4: the East Coast to six am on the West Coast
- 36:19Speaker 4: if you're up early at fls on.
- 36:21Speaker 7: That's amazing.
- 36:22Speaker 4: So to me, that is a maximum exposure event for
- 36:26Speaker 4: the Jaguars internationally. And to just be there in that
- 36:31Speaker 4: environment when I see that arts pop up on the horizon.
- 36:33Speaker 4: You know that that means the world to me.
- 36:35Speaker 7: I love it.
- 36:38Speaker 2: I was on the tube last year on the way
- 36:42Speaker 2: to the game and there was a family there. I mean,
- 36:46Speaker 2: they're two eight year old or they looked around eight
- 36:49Speaker 2: year old daughters with jangs jerseys on, and I was
- 36:53Speaker 2: just like, Yes, this is it. This is a proper
- 36:57Speaker 2: family thing, Rece. So I think I think you're right
- 36:59Speaker 2: with that one. Look, let's let's go around. Let's go
- 37:03Speaker 2: around the circle. Let's pretend that I'm in the Jacksonville
- 37:06Speaker 2: circle with us. Jay, thank you emotionally. I want to know, please,
- 37:13Speaker 2: your highlights of your trip so far, Let's make them
- 37:16Speaker 2: football based.
- 37:17Speaker 3: First of all, Oh, football based. I do have a highlight,
- 37:21Speaker 3: but it isn't football based. Reese singing gospel music with
- 37:25Speaker 3: Tank Bigsby.
- 37:28Speaker 1: What it was?
- 37:29Speaker 6: Honestly, it was context is needed.
- 37:35Speaker 5: This thing.
- 37:37Speaker 3: So we do a segment called Blitz where it's quick
- 37:39Speaker 3: fire questions, and one of the questions that Reese asks
- 37:43Speaker 3: is about music.
- 37:44Speaker 6: What was the last thing that you listened to?
- 37:47Speaker 3: And that answer is never quick fire because Reese always
- 37:51Speaker 3: responds and generally ends up singing with the player, and
- 37:55Speaker 3: with Tank Bigsby, it was a gospel song in him
- 37:58Speaker 3: and Tank Bigsby, it's not singing it together.
- 38:00Speaker 6: And Tank has the most beautiful voice.
- 38:02Speaker 5: And there's always and there's always some bvs as well.
- 38:05Speaker 1: Let's not forget oh nice nice back in VOT.
- 38:09Speaker 3: Sarah from the Jags UK team also has a lovely
- 38:12Speaker 3: voice and often joins in there was Adele, there was everything.
- 38:20Speaker 1: That sounds beautiful and probably having not listened to it.
- 38:25Speaker 2: And I don't know whether you know when somebody says
- 38:27Speaker 2: they've got a beautiful voice, and it's like, well, you
- 38:28Speaker 2: are sitting next to him, So I don't know if
- 38:30Speaker 2: you're just being polite or not. But I assume that
- 38:32Speaker 2: Reese has a beautiful.
- 38:33Speaker 6: Well's not here and so I don't have to say that.
- 38:37Speaker 6: But he is a very very big man. I'm sticking
- 38:40Speaker 6: with you, you know what.
- 38:43Speaker 5: I think it's going out to practice that first day
- 38:50Speaker 5: that we got here, and I think it was Drake
- 38:52Speaker 5: and Eminem the song Forever came on and you see
- 38:56Speaker 5: all the players come out and you go, ah, we're back,
- 39:00Speaker 5: And it's only until you kind of walk back in
- 39:03Speaker 5: to the facility and you stick on whatever TV channels
- 39:06Speaker 5: has played in the reception and you see all the
- 39:08Speaker 5: reporters that all the different training cams, and you're like.
- 39:11Speaker 6: Oh, is that time of the marchic to what JP
- 39:14Speaker 6: is saying about Wembley, isn't it.
- 39:15Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 39:16Speaker 5: Yeah, it's like it's back again, because it's kind of
- 39:18Speaker 5: vice versa for us, your version is Wembley. For us,
- 39:21Speaker 5: it's when we come over here, we're like, ah, okay now.
- 39:26Speaker 4: For us for folks that are here all the time,
- 39:29Speaker 4: when it really happens for me is the first day
- 39:32Speaker 4: that shoulder pads going on on Monday and you.
- 39:34Speaker 7: Hear the popping of the pads.
- 39:36Speaker 4: Yeah, and there's actual offensive line and defensive line.
- 39:41Speaker 7: That's football, and that's what you miss. Yeah. The early
- 39:45Speaker 7: mornings are fun and all that.
- 39:46Speaker 4: It's hot, it's muggy and humid and everything, and then
- 39:50Speaker 4: you're playing foot you know, but then all of a
- 39:52Speaker 4: sudden they put the pads on. Okay, we're a step
- 39:55Speaker 4: closer now to actually figuring out what the hell's going
- 39:58Speaker 4: on with this football team.
- 40:00Speaker 7: They're playing actual football now.
- 40:02Speaker 4: That's for us here in the States that cover this
- 40:05Speaker 4: on a day to day basis, the pads matter.
- 40:07Speaker 7: That's fine.
- 40:10Speaker 2: Well, last Jeries my highlight so far is uh I
- 40:18Speaker 2: had some great scrambled eggs this morning. So that's my
- 40:22Speaker 2: highlight of the last few days. So nice one, guys,
- 40:25Speaker 2: thanks for robbing that one and what have you.
- 40:28Speaker 5: But what have you seen? What have you seen on
- 40:30Speaker 5: JAG socials and online et cetera that you've gone like
- 40:34Speaker 5: or any news source that you're like, ah, yeah, it's back.
- 40:40Speaker 6: Do you know what?
- 40:40Speaker 2: I think it's just and it's difficult obviously not being there.
- 40:43Speaker 2: I think it's just trying to and it's so difficult.
- 40:46Speaker 1: I'm trying to. I'm trying to like put a caveat
- 40:48Speaker 1: on what I'm about to say.
- 40:50Speaker 2: It's trying to It's almost like trying not to read
- 40:54Speaker 2: too much into everything.
- 40:56Speaker 1: Does that make sense?
- 40:57Speaker 2: Like it's like it just feels like when you when
- 41:00Speaker 2: you see all the I think I saw a video
- 41:02Speaker 2: of all the guys is coming onto the field for
- 41:04Speaker 2: the first time on like day one of training camp,
- 41:06Speaker 2: and you're just like you're just like, here we go,
- 41:11Speaker 2: and then I have to do the JP and take
- 41:13Speaker 2: a step back, do you know what I mean and
- 41:16Speaker 2: try and be like no, it's easy to get ahead
- 41:19Speaker 2: of yourself here.
- 41:20Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 41:20Speaker 1: But also I want to point out as well that
- 41:22Speaker 1: What was just a really nice.
- 41:23Speaker 2: Moments not football related, is seeing Trevor with with his
- 41:31Speaker 2: newborn on like the sideline, and I just thought, I'm
- 41:36Speaker 2: just like playing, just just playing almost like in between
- 41:40Speaker 2: in between practice. I just thought, that is just like
- 41:43Speaker 2: a it's like a bring your family to work day,
- 41:46Speaker 2: but it's just like super cute.
- 41:48Speaker 1: It was really nice. But the scrambled eggs were also great.
- 41:51Speaker 3: Do you know what, Jake, there's a lot of bring
- 41:52Speaker 3: your family to work as you know with VI had
- 41:55Speaker 3: coach Farwell on the podcast before, and he brings all
- 41:59Speaker 3: of his kids and his oldest son is on the
- 42:03Speaker 3: is on the practice field helping out.
- 42:05Speaker 6: It's so lovely.
- 42:08Speaker 2: I just want to just say really quickly as well,
- 42:10Speaker 2: before I forget that last year Breese, you were shown
- 42:15Speaker 2: how to kick right by camp by cam Little.
- 42:18Speaker 1: Are you doing anything similar this time around?
- 42:19Speaker 5: Yes, so I'm going to be learning how to punk return.
- 42:28Speaker 6: Why that.
- 42:31Speaker 5: Bags JP always appreciated. Do you know how fast I am?
- 42:37Speaker 4: It doesn't matter how fast you can be fast in
- 42:39Speaker 4: all directions, You're still got to catch the football first.
- 42:44Speaker 5: Can we.
- 42:46Speaker 3: How are we going to be able to watch that
- 42:48Speaker 3: content that we're talking about is going to be available
