- 0:04Speaker 1: seventeen in Cork. This is Till Talk, the official podcast
- 0:09Speaker 1: of the Jacksonville Jaguars in the UK and Ireland. I'm
- 0:11Speaker 1: Jay Lawrence has always no relation. He's Key Ramsur and
- 0:15Speaker 1: how you doing, mate?
- 0:17Speaker 2: I'm all right mate, some relations.
- 0:20Speaker 3: You know what.
- 0:20Speaker 1: We've made it to episode three. Look at us, Look
- 0:23Speaker 1: at us, pound the bag?
- 0:24Speaker 2: Who thought? J who thought?
- 0:26Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to this one as well. Actually, because
- 0:28Speaker 1: on the show today we have Voice of the Jags,
- 0:31Speaker 1: JP Shadrick joins the show. We have an amazing Jacksonville
- 0:35Speaker 1: Jaguars related prior to give away. We've been given away
- 0:37Speaker 1: three prizes and each one I get slightly irritated by,
- 0:41Speaker 1: to be honest, get slightly annoyed because the jealousy factor,
- 0:44Speaker 1: the envy factor is ten out of ten, especially on
- 0:47Speaker 1: this one. And we've got another fan that joins the
- 0:49Speaker 1: show to give us the big question Key, and of
- 0:52Speaker 1: course we'll talk training camp. I have to endure the
- 0:55Speaker 1: fact that Key actually was in Jacksonville last week and
- 0:59Speaker 1: he's already told me a couple of minutes ago, Oh no,
- 1:01Speaker 1: I did, Yeah, I went in the sea every day.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Why are you telling me that, mate? Why why are
- 1:05Speaker 1: you telling me that? You know, I'm jealous as it is,
- 1:07Speaker 1: and you're you're in the beaches of Florida going in
- 1:10Speaker 1: the water every day. First question, and I'll ask it,
- 1:13Speaker 1: but grudgingly. How was it?
- 1:15Speaker 2: It was?
- 1:16Speaker 1: It was?
- 1:18Speaker 3: It was.
- 1:19Speaker 2: It was pretty pretty cool. Yeah, I don't I'm like,
- 1:23Speaker 2: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna make you jealous, hopefully,
- 1:26Speaker 2: but it was.
- 1:27Speaker 3: It was.
- 1:27Speaker 2: It was cool, man, Like Florida is ace. We met
- 1:31Speaker 2: some wicked players. Are going to more detail later on
- 1:35Speaker 2: all of that, but yeah, the trip overall was really cool, man.
- 1:38Speaker 1: I mean, it looked it looked amazing. It's one of
- 1:39Speaker 1: those things that you know, like we know that when
- 1:41Speaker 1: you see something online and then you're like, that looks
- 1:43Speaker 1: so good, so good that in fact, I really don't
- 1:46Speaker 1: want to look at it right now because it's making
- 1:48Speaker 1: me jealous. Football is back. Football is back, jay I do.
- 1:53Speaker 2: It was so exciting, Like so, we were there before
- 1:56Speaker 2: pads went on, so it wasn't like big hits, it
- 2:01Speaker 2: wasn't like super intense, but we got to see a
- 2:04Speaker 2: lot of stuff. We got to see how the defense
- 2:05Speaker 2: was running, how the offense is running special teams, a
- 2:08Speaker 2: few takeaways. Offense were struggling while we were there. I
- 2:11Speaker 2: think that's starting to turn around now. Defense was on fire.
- 2:16Speaker 2: We got to sit down with coach Nielsen as well,
- 2:17Speaker 2: which is really cool. Went to his press conference, then
- 2:20Speaker 2: we had an interview with him. Hearing from him was
- 2:22Speaker 2: super cool and what he's aiming for with the defense.
- 2:25Speaker 2: But yeah, dude, they were on fire. Also, I'd love
- 2:28Speaker 2: to talk to you about Cam Little.
- 2:30Speaker 3: Let's do it.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Let's do it. You know, I'm here for Kicker Chat
- 2:32Speaker 1: twenty four to seven to be honest with you, especially
- 2:34Speaker 1: when it's you know, a rookie kicker as well. With
- 2:36Speaker 1: the defense, I mean, it's interesting when it comes to
- 2:38Speaker 1: training camp. You often hear and you never know how
- 2:41Speaker 1: much of it's true really, but like the defense always
- 2:44Speaker 1: has an edge. At first, I actually heard Ryan Nielsen
- 2:47Speaker 1: say he's the new defensive coordinator. He came from the
- 2:50Speaker 1: Falcons from last year, and he was talking at his
- 2:52Speaker 1: press conference about how he doesn't really worry about that.
- 2:55Speaker 1: I mean, it's his job just to worry about the defense.
- 3:00Speaker 1: But yeah, all I heard was that everything was looking good,
- 3:02Speaker 1: and you know, it's gonna be. It's interesting as well
- 3:05Speaker 1: because it is a new style of defense that coach
- 3:08Speaker 1: Nielsen wants to implement as well, So it must have
- 3:12Speaker 1: been quite interesting just to see how the guys you know,
- 3:17Speaker 1: got there and how quickly they got used to it.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Day one, for example, something silly like three takeaways in
- 3:26Speaker 2: the red zone, which you look at and go, yeah,
- 3:28Speaker 2: that's amazing for the defense, but then you think, oh, well,
- 3:31Speaker 2: maybe the offense is struggling. And let's be honest, the
- 3:33Speaker 2: offense were struggling. But it's d like when by the
- 3:36Speaker 2: time we left it was like day five of training camp, Like,
- 3:40Speaker 2: it doesn't mean that much at that point. If that's
- 3:43Speaker 2: happening like week three of regular season, then you'd start
- 3:47Speaker 2: to worry about it. And also, like the defense and
- 3:51Speaker 2: the offense are working together, the coordinators are talking to
- 3:53Speaker 2: each other, everyone knows what the players are like, it's
- 3:57Speaker 2: it doesn't mean that much at this stage, and now
- 4:00Speaker 2: that they've got pads on, it's all changed.
- 4:02Speaker 1: So I've heard quite a lot actually over the last
- 4:04Speaker 1: few days as well, because I had heard that the
- 4:05Speaker 1: defense were on top over the first few days. But
- 4:08Speaker 1: it's the ebbs and flows of it Isn't it really
- 4:10Speaker 1: key because that might happen at first, but then the
- 4:13Speaker 1: offense has had some really good days. Trevor Lawrence, you know,
- 4:16Speaker 1: in particular, has had some really good days over the
- 4:18Speaker 1: last few days. That's what you want to see from
- 4:19Speaker 1: your franchise quarterback as well. Granted the fact it's training camp,
- 4:24Speaker 1: and we can be honest, it doesn't really matter that
- 4:27Speaker 1: much in the big scheme of things.
- 4:30Speaker 2: It doesn't matter like our job as fans is to
- 4:33Speaker 2: overreact and to get worried and to comment on it
- 4:36Speaker 2: all on socials and whatever. In the building, no one
- 4:40Speaker 2: is worried about it. They're like, this is what happens
- 4:43Speaker 2: in training camp and that's like, that's what I'm trying
- 4:46Speaker 2: to listen to. But there was part of me that was.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Like, oh no, yeah, it's going to be fine though.
- 4:52Speaker 1: That's the thing though, is that it's just it's it's normal.
- 4:55Speaker 1: It's fan behavior. You get what you're given and then
- 4:58Speaker 1: you try and work out how that is gonna work
- 5:00Speaker 1: out in the regular season. But it doesn't work like that,
- 5:03Speaker 1: does it, And we all know it doesn't. But that said,
- 5:06Speaker 1: there are probably some people that you're not so worried
- 5:08Speaker 1: about at training camp, and there are other people that
- 5:11Speaker 1: you might have more of an eye on as well,
- 5:14Speaker 1: like Josh Heines Allen. Since we last recorded the podcast,
- 5:18Speaker 1: he was Josh Allen. He's changed his name to Josh
- 5:20Speaker 1: Heines Allen to paid tribute to both size his family,
- 5:22Speaker 1: which I think is amazing. You're not really so worried
- 5:25Speaker 1: about how he does during training camp, particularly, are you.
- 5:27Speaker 1: But there are other players you want to see whether
- 5:29Speaker 1: they or not they take that step up, and they're
- 5:32Speaker 1: usually the sort of I don't want to say fringe
- 5:35Speaker 1: players because that's probably doing them a disservice to an extent,
- 5:37Speaker 1: but maybe sometimes the backup players. Tank Bigsby's a good example,
- 5:42Speaker 1: number two running back. You want to see what's going
- 5:45Speaker 1: to happen with him this season. Can he make that
- 5:48Speaker 1: jump from last season when there was a lot of
- 5:50Speaker 1: hope about him backing up Travis Ettim.
- 5:53Speaker 2: So that is exactly the name that I went into
- 5:56Speaker 2: this training camp thinking about, because I came away last
- 5:58Speaker 2: year having what Tank thinking, Oh Mac, because honestly, during
- 6:04Speaker 2: that week that we were there last year, he was
- 6:07Speaker 2: on fire. It was powerful, and I came away talking
- 6:10Speaker 2: about him and had such high hopes, and he didn't
- 6:13Speaker 2: have the season that I thought he was going to have, so,
- 6:16Speaker 2: especially with like rookies coming in this year, I was thinking,
- 6:19Speaker 2: there's some competition there. I wonder what happens. I'm not
- 6:22Speaker 2: going to get all hyped again, but it was nice
- 6:25Speaker 2: to see that element of competition between the running backs
- 6:29Speaker 2: this training camp. That's what I'll say. That was nice.
- 6:32Speaker 1: So you were there for the TV show, weren't you, Key?
- 6:35Speaker 1: Can you tell us a little bit obviously it's going
- 6:37Speaker 1: to start again in a few weeks time. Can you
- 6:39Speaker 1: tell us a little bit about you know who you
- 6:41Speaker 1: spoke to or is that under wraps and we'll talk
- 6:42Speaker 1: a bit more about that in the next episode.
- 6:45Speaker 2: No, absolutely, let's talk about it, man. And sometimes when
- 6:48Speaker 2: we refer to it as my trip, it feels like
- 6:50Speaker 2: I went out there, like the press turned up at
- 6:55Speaker 2: the airport to meet me. It wasn't It wasn't me.
- 6:59Speaker 1: I last I apologize.
- 7:01Speaker 2: No, No, that's exactly what imagine, Ja, Jay, I'm pretty
- 7:04Speaker 2: big in Jacksonville, just so you know, mate. Okay, So, yeah,
- 7:07Speaker 2: I was out there as part of the crew for
- 7:09Speaker 2: Jaguars Weekly UK. Right, So we were there for like
- 7:13Speaker 2: four days we got some great stuff. We sat down
- 7:17Speaker 2: with Josh Eines Allen, with Trevor Lawrence, with Tyson Campbell,
- 7:21Speaker 2: with coach Nielsen, Roy Robertson. Harris is teaching Rhys Parkinson,
- 7:26Speaker 2: our presenter, to block and to pass rush cam Little
- 7:30Speaker 2: was teaching him how to kick, and Reece actually made
- 7:33Speaker 2: a kick from twenty five yards. It was a chip shot,
- 7:35Speaker 2: but beautiful, what like, really lovely. Professional highlight for me
- 7:41Speaker 2: was Jeff Ferguson. I'm going to get his title wrong now,
- 7:45Speaker 2: but he is something like VP of Health and Performance,
- 7:49Speaker 2: Jeff Ferguson at Fergie to his mate, mister Ferguson to me,
- 7:53Speaker 2: and he's showing us around the training room so like
- 7:57Speaker 2: all the hydro pools, the cross chamber, like all of
- 8:02Speaker 2: the places like where the players get their physio and massage,
- 8:05Speaker 2: and it's absolutely stunning. And he was just a beautiful,
- 8:09Speaker 2: beautiful man. So that was professional highlight. Personal highlight was
- 8:15Speaker 2: probably in the airport on the way back finally getting
- 8:19Speaker 2: over my jet, though only to get it when I
- 8:23Speaker 2: got back again.
- 8:24Speaker 1: I'm kind of though, I mean, I'm kind of livid
- 8:27Speaker 1: really that Reees made a chip shop Field girl. I'll
- 8:32Speaker 1: tell you why, Because I was lucky enough the other
- 8:35Speaker 1: day to go play some flag football at Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium,
- 8:39Speaker 1: which was amazing. I really enjoyed it. And of course
- 8:42Speaker 1: that means trying to, you know, get a field girl
- 8:45Speaker 1: from about the same sort of distance. It went ten yards.
- 8:49Speaker 1: It went ten yards.
- 8:51Speaker 2: But Jay, did you have did you have an NFL
- 8:55Speaker 2: kicker talking you through all the steps?
- 8:59Speaker 1: No?
- 9:02Speaker 2: I reckon If Cam Little was there talking you through it, mate,
- 9:05Speaker 2: it would have sailed through, sailed through, caught in the ground.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, but by the literal zero people in the
- 9:12Speaker 1: crowd that were watching. It's great as well because it's
- 9:16Speaker 1: always interesting I think when there's a rookie kicker coming in,
- 9:18Speaker 1: especially when they're drafted like Cam Little was, because it
- 9:21Speaker 1: doesn't happen uber often does it. So it means that
- 9:24Speaker 1: the team it was always inevitable that he was going
- 9:27Speaker 1: to be the starting kicker because of that, let's be frank.
- 9:29Speaker 1: So it's always, you know, interesting when a team has
- 9:32Speaker 1: that investment in a kicker and it sounds like he
- 9:35Speaker 1: was a good guy, a good teacher.
- 9:37Speaker 2: He was fantastic. And not only that, the way coach
- 9:41Speaker 2: Farwell special teams coordinator talks about him is very exciting.
- 9:46Speaker 2: And I think it was like the first or second
- 9:48Speaker 2: day and Cam hit five out of six kicks, but
- 9:55Speaker 2: he didn't come away talking about the five. He came
- 9:58Speaker 2: away talking about the one that he missed, and Coach
- 10:00Speaker 2: Farwell was like, that's what you look for. He wants
- 10:04Speaker 2: to go away watch the film of that and get
- 10:07Speaker 2: better and that's what we're looking for. What would be
- 10:11Speaker 2: really interesting. He's a lovely guy. He's full of confidence.
- 10:13Speaker 2: Like I don't know about the technicality of how someone
- 10:17Speaker 2: kicks and whatnot. What I can say is that watching
- 10:19Speaker 2: him do it, I've no doubt he can be regularly
- 10:23Speaker 2: making fifty five plus yard kicks. It looks really really good.
- 10:27Speaker 2: It's going to be interesting to see whether he can
- 10:29Speaker 2: do that with you know, fifty sixty thousand people and
- 10:31Speaker 2: the lights on him in a crowd. I'm sure he can.
- 10:35Speaker 1: For a twenty year old in this country, in UK
- 10:37Speaker 1: and in Ireland as well, we always have a bit
- 10:40Speaker 1: more of a love affair with kickers than not necessarily
- 10:43Speaker 1: and maybe they do in the US, but for obvious reasons,
- 10:45Speaker 1: with you know, the kicking sports that we have, you know,
- 10:48Speaker 1: in Ireland, and obviously in football as well. In soccer,
- 10:53Speaker 1: I always feel like we care more about the kickers
- 10:56Speaker 1: than not necessarily they do in the US, But I
- 10:57Speaker 1: think it's just inherently there, isn't it.
- 11:00Speaker 2: Yeah, And I would say the same about punters as well,
- 11:03Speaker 2: especially if you've ever played in goal. Cam's really into
- 11:05Speaker 2: soccer as well, So, like we were listening to him
- 11:08Speaker 2: talk about like the technical differences between kicking a soccer
- 11:11Speaker 2: ball and a football, all of that was really interesting.
- 11:14Speaker 3: Man.
- 11:14Speaker 1: I look forward to seeing him kicking Wembley Stadium later
- 11:18Speaker 1: on this year.
- 11:20Speaker 4: What.
- 11:20Speaker 1: Actually, that's pretty amazing, isn't it, Because if he's a
- 11:22Speaker 1: massive soccer fan Wembley Stadium obviously, you know it is
- 11:26Speaker 1: such a such an aura around it, such a huge
- 11:28Speaker 1: soccer history, that might be like a real highlight for him. Actually,
- 11:33Speaker 1: that's that's really exciting.
- 11:35Speaker 2: He was giving loads of references as to all the
- 11:38Speaker 2: moments that have happened at Wembley that he's loved over
- 11:41Speaker 2: the years, And I'm not a soccer fan, so I'm
- 11:43Speaker 2: just like politely nodding, Yeah.
- 11:46Speaker 1: David Michael, who.
- 11:49Speaker 3: Wayne?
- 11:50Speaker 1: Who exciting? And I'm sure we'll get to speak to
- 11:54Speaker 1: him about that. As well when he comes over, you know,
- 11:56Speaker 1: and it was only a couple months time. Let's be honest,
- 11:58Speaker 1: it's not it's not far, it's not far as well.
- 12:01Speaker 1: Let's hear first from JP shad drink, shall we key?
- 12:06Speaker 1: I heard that you wanted to speak to him on
- 12:08Speaker 1: a beach, but you couldn't speak to him on the beach.
- 12:10Speaker 2: It was very stormy out there, like when you're watching
- 12:14Speaker 2: the training camp footage, right, it doesn't do it justice
- 12:18Speaker 2: how hot it is out there. It's so hot and
- 12:22Speaker 2: sticky and humid, and like about three o'clock every day
- 12:27Speaker 2: you get a tropical storm, right, so thunder lightning, super
- 12:31Speaker 2: heavy rain, and then it clears in about half an hour.
- 12:34Speaker 2: Except on the one day when I planned to film
- 12:38Speaker 2: with JP on the beach, it stormed from about three
- 12:41Speaker 2: till nine pm. So I had this beautiful vision in
- 12:45Speaker 2: my head. I was sitting on a beach talking about
- 12:47Speaker 2: training camp in the upcoming season, and it turns out
- 12:51Speaker 2: we're in a hotel lobby, which was you know, it
- 12:54Speaker 2: was It was fine. I love chatting to JP always
- 12:57Speaker 2: and his insights are super valuable. It just doesn't look
- 13:00Speaker 2: as pretty as I want to quite a beach not
- 13:02Speaker 2: quite the beach exactly. His key speaking to the voice
- 13:04Speaker 2: of the Jaguars, JP Shadrick. JP Schadrick, Senior Reporter, Welcome
- 13:09Speaker 2: to Tailtalk.
- 13:11Speaker 3: It's great to be here. Man.
- 13:12Speaker 5: I'm glad you guys are here. We're getting this done
- 13:15Speaker 5: in the States. We're in a hotel lobby and Atlantic Beach.
- 13:18Speaker 5: That's pretty good.
- 13:19Speaker 2: This is Florida, isn't it Isn't it doesn't feel This
- 13:23Speaker 2: doesn't feel like Florida.
- 13:24Speaker 3: Well, it's a lightning storm outside.
- 13:26Speaker 2: That's that's why I JP Training Comp twenty twenty four.
- 13:30Speaker 2: Load of rookies added to the roster. Who have you
- 13:33Speaker 2: noticed have' you got your eye on?
- 13:35Speaker 3: Well?
- 13:35Speaker 5: I mean the first one you're going to have to
- 13:37Speaker 5: look at is Brian Thomas Junior. He's the first round pick,
- 13:40Speaker 5: and at least the early part of camp, we haven't
- 13:42Speaker 5: seen a lot from him yet.
- 13:44Speaker 3: I mean there's a few days in.
- 13:46Speaker 5: I think that will come though with time, and they're
- 13:48Speaker 5: confident in his ability.
- 13:49Speaker 3: And what he can bring to this offense.
- 13:52Speaker 5: And then you're looking at guys like Mason Smith and
- 13:54Speaker 5: the defensive line. How does he contribute to the rotation
- 13:59Speaker 5: on the interior of the defensive line, because that's a
- 14:01Speaker 5: big piece of what went wrong last year at times
- 14:05Speaker 5: in the run game. They've got a new defensive scheme
- 14:07Speaker 5: of course, So that's just a couple that pop out
- 14:09Speaker 5: right away, and you know, we'll see from there. There'll
- 14:13Speaker 5: be some young corners I think you're gonna have to
- 14:15Speaker 5: look at later in camp that either will be depth
- 14:19Speaker 5: or special teams help or whatever that is, or kind
- 14:22Speaker 5: of on and off the roster some of the year
- 14:24Speaker 5: practice squad guys. But that comes probably after one or
- 14:29Speaker 5: two preseason games. You really start to see those guys
- 14:31Speaker 5: under the lights and see how they perform.
- 14:34Speaker 2: Eric arms that gave So this morning I'm watching Gabe Davis.
- 14:37Speaker 2: He's dancing his energies. I'm loving that. What have you
- 14:40Speaker 2: seen of those two so far?
- 14:41Speaker 3: Yeah, well, Armstead hasn't been out there a lot.
- 14:44Speaker 5: It's not a big deal. It's just needs a little
- 14:46Speaker 5: more time. On the other hand, Davis, he's a guy
- 14:49Speaker 5: that's a veteran player. He's played a lot of football, Like,
- 14:51Speaker 5: he understands what he has to do to get ready.
- 14:54Speaker 3: But again, we haven't seen a lot of the offense.
- 14:56Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean they haven't had great days of offense.
- 14:59Speaker 5: So I'm I'm not concerned about the offense yet. I
- 15:02Speaker 5: think Gay Davis will be fine because he's a veteran
- 15:04Speaker 5: player armstead of guy that's going to be a veteran
- 15:07Speaker 5: player on the defensive line, been in the league forever,
- 15:10Speaker 5: like you know, he's going to be ready to go
- 15:13Speaker 5: when it's time for the season to get here. Both
- 15:15Speaker 5: of those veteran that's why you bring in all these veterans.
- 15:16Speaker 5: Mtch Morse is another guy like that, right, he's been
- 15:19Speaker 5: in the league for twelve years.
- 15:20Speaker 3: The center.
- 15:21Speaker 5: You just trust those guys to know how to handle
- 15:24Speaker 5: their business. You don't have to really coach them up
- 15:26Speaker 5: too much. That's the idea at least, and then maybe
- 15:28Speaker 5: that can help some of the young guys with an
- 15:30Speaker 5: example of how.
- 15:31Speaker 3: To do it right.
- 15:32Speaker 2: Another big change, coach Nilson coming in. What does he
- 15:36Speaker 2: bring to the table. What's going to change do you think?
- 15:38Speaker 5: Well, I mean their base scheme will change a little bit.
- 15:42Speaker 5: It sounds like to a four down lineman with three
- 15:45Speaker 5: linebackers in the base, but a lot of times you're
- 15:48Speaker 5: not going to have three linebackers because everybody usually plays
- 15:51Speaker 5: a nickel with an extra cornerback. So you know, seventy
- 15:55Speaker 5: percent of the time. That's how it works in the
- 15:57Speaker 5: NFL now. But you'll see a little bit of mixture.
- 15:59Speaker 5: You might see some three down line me you might
- 16:01Speaker 5: see four. You might see a linebacker go up to
- 16:03Speaker 5: the line, and so there's a lot of that can change.
- 16:07Speaker 5: I think the big change will be in the secondary
- 16:10Speaker 5: and the way the cornerbacks play. There'll be a lot
- 16:13Speaker 5: of press man demand covers. That means they're right up
- 16:15Speaker 5: on the line. They're going to be physical, and then
- 16:17Speaker 5: you've got to be able to run with whoever you win.
- 16:20Speaker 5: But it also gives an opportunity to make plays in
- 16:23Speaker 5: the secondary, and they feel like they have the personnel
- 16:26Speaker 5: to get that done at cornerback, and that's why they
- 16:28Speaker 5: resigned Tyson Campbell.
- 16:30Speaker 2: Like they did three red zone picks on day one
- 16:32Speaker 2: of train income. Yeah, that's right, isn't it.
- 16:34Speaker 5: That's right, And they talked about it after the practices.
- 16:37Speaker 5: I mean, actually they did two straight days of red
- 16:40Speaker 5: zone there were picks on both days, but they were
- 16:43Speaker 5: running like six or seven plays on offense.
- 16:46Speaker 3: That's it.
- 16:47Speaker 5: So the defense was kind of doing their own thing,
- 16:49Speaker 5: had an idea. So I'm not worried about the red
- 16:52Speaker 5: zone stuff, especially that early in camp because they're working
- 16:55Speaker 5: on specific things and maybe the throw Yeah, the throws
- 16:59Speaker 5: weren't that's fine, but it's so early to tell. I
- 17:04Speaker 5: think there's a whole lot to be decided on that.
- 17:07Speaker 5: It wasn't a great look. Just those are weird to
- 17:09Speaker 5: see interceptions in the red zone. You don't want to
- 17:11Speaker 5: see that. But I think there were some reasons behind it,
- 17:14Speaker 5: and I think there's a long camp ahead.
- 17:17Speaker 2: More big off season news. Two big contracts Josh anz
- 17:20Speaker 2: Allen Trevor Lawrence. What does that do for the team.
- 17:23Speaker 5: Well, I think it tells guys that if you do
- 17:26Speaker 5: things the right way and you're drafted here and you
- 17:30Speaker 5: play well, you'll get rewarded and you can stick around.
- 17:33Speaker 3: I think that's kind of the idea.
- 17:36Speaker 5: But from the quarterback perspective, it made sense to do
- 17:39Speaker 5: it early. I mean, they could have waited another year,
- 17:41Speaker 5: but I don't think they wanted to go into this
- 17:43Speaker 5: season with Trevor you having to quote unquote prove it
- 17:49Speaker 5: that he's worth that deal. He's the guy and they've
- 17:52Speaker 5: always known he's going to be the quarterback, so you
- 17:54Speaker 5: might as well pay it now. The number is only
- 17:56Speaker 5: going to go up if you'll wait. So get that done.
- 18:00Speaker 5: Had to pay Josh heines Allen. I mean, the guy
- 18:01Speaker 5: put up seventeen and a half sacks nice year in
- 18:04Speaker 5: a contract year, and he's done everything right. He's a
- 18:08Speaker 5: great citizen, he's right in the locker room, he's good
- 18:11Speaker 5: for young guys, and he's an excellent player. Even if
- 18:14Speaker 5: he's not putting up sack numbers, he's impacting plays and
- 18:17Speaker 5: getting close. So it had to get those done. And
- 18:21Speaker 5: those are cornerstone players for this franchise.
- 18:23Speaker 3: Absolutely right.
- 18:25Speaker 2: And even more big news new stadium coming.
- 18:30Speaker 5: Yeah, we've got a few years so well. The city
- 18:33Speaker 5: council proved it. Still waiting on the owners in the
- 18:36Speaker 5: NFL to approve that. In October there's a meeting where
- 18:39Speaker 5: it feels like that should go so, but the city
- 18:43Speaker 5: council hurdle.
- 18:44Speaker 3: Was the big one, and they approved that.
- 18:46Speaker 5: It's going to be a game changer for downtown and
- 18:48Speaker 5: certainly for the Jaguars, but I think for the city
- 18:51Speaker 5: of Jacksonville as a hole because it gives you a
- 18:54Speaker 5: centerpiece to developing that area around the neighborhood just north
- 18:59Speaker 5: of there. The Audi's Cammunity as part of that as
- 19:01Speaker 5: well the riverfront district and then maybe in the future
- 19:05Speaker 5: parking lots around it. I mean, so it expands from
- 19:09Speaker 5: the stadium and goes toward downtown and a rising tide
- 19:13Speaker 5: lifts all ships. And that's the idea of the stadium with.
- 19:16Speaker 2: The new stadium is I heard that that will mean
- 19:19Speaker 2: a super Bowl in Jacksonville, because all the new stadiums
- 19:22Speaker 2: get a super.
- 19:23Speaker 5: Bowl usually that's how it works. I can tell you
- 19:28Speaker 5: from the past experience of the Super Bowl here four
- 19:32Speaker 5: or five, there was just not enough infrastructure for the
- 19:36Speaker 5: amount of people that come to town hotel rooms. They
- 19:40Speaker 5: had to bring cruise ships into the river for people
- 19:42Speaker 5: to say like there was a media cruise ship, and
- 19:46Speaker 5: so there just wasn't enough there.
- 19:48Speaker 3: Right.
- 19:48Speaker 5: Has there been enough change in that time to host
- 19:52Speaker 5: the Super Bowl?
- 19:52Speaker 3: Probably not yet.
- 19:53Speaker 5: Okay, you know, there has to be some of that
- 19:56Speaker 5: neighborhood around, like we talked about around the stadium to
- 19:59Speaker 5: really make it feasible.
- 20:00Speaker 3: I could see maybe way down the line.
- 20:05Speaker 5: But in general, if there's a new stadium, a lot
- 20:08Speaker 5: of times, if they can handle the infrastructure of the game,
- 20:11Speaker 5: they will get awarded one down the line.
- 20:13Speaker 3: There's no guarantees on.
- 20:14Speaker 2: That, loads of big news in the off season.
- 20:16Speaker 3: Right.
- 20:17Speaker 2: So with all that in mind, what does JP expect
- 20:21Speaker 2: for the Jaguars this season?
- 20:24Speaker 5: Well, I mean it's the team that should compete for
- 20:25Speaker 5: the division title and more and be right there. They
- 20:28Speaker 5: were on the doorstep last year and fighting for the
- 20:31Speaker 5: number one seed with a great record to start the
- 20:34Speaker 5: season and then collapse with some injuries and a meltdown
- 20:38Speaker 5: at the end. And without that they win one more game,
- 20:42Speaker 5: they're in the playoffs again.
- 20:43Speaker 3: Right.
- 20:44Speaker 5: Are they a fourteen win team? I don't know if
- 20:46Speaker 5: I can tell you that. I think they're a deeper
- 20:49Speaker 5: overall roster. I think that has gotten better. The bottom
- 20:53Speaker 5: end of the roster, that all the full ninety right
- 20:55Speaker 5: now is better than it was I think a year ago.
- 20:57Speaker 3: Yep. And you'll see that playout.
- 20:59Speaker 5: I think it's training camp and the best will rise
- 21:02Speaker 5: to the top and they'll move forward. So you know,
- 21:05Speaker 5: Texans are tough. We know that can they handle the spotlight.
- 21:09Speaker 5: The Jaguars weren't able to handle it last year. It's
- 21:11Speaker 5: the same idea for Houston. Hey, there's a lot of
- 21:14Speaker 5: money on the table now for a lot of these
- 21:15Speaker 5: players that are going to be leading the way and
- 21:17Speaker 5: they feel the pressure. They felt it before they got
- 21:20Speaker 5: paid too, so but now you have to go really
- 21:23Speaker 5: prove it to the city and to themselves and to
- 21:27Speaker 5: the organization.
- 21:28Speaker 2: So you'll say in Super Bowl yeah, yeah or bust No,
- 21:33Speaker 2: there's a chant, right.
- 21:33Speaker 3: I mean, they can do win the division.
- 21:35Speaker 5: You get in the playoffs and you never know what happens,
- 21:37Speaker 5: but they can be a really good team if the
- 21:40Speaker 5: offense is clicking. The defense has to have some changes,
- 21:43Speaker 5: which they think they've made. We'll find out, but they've
- 21:46Speaker 5: got some parts to do it on offense. Now, I mean,
- 21:48Speaker 5: if Christian Kirk and ev and Ingram are healthy, those
- 21:51Speaker 5: are the guys that run the thing and everything else
- 21:54Speaker 5: is great and they're good players too. But with those
- 21:57Speaker 5: two guys working in the past game with the run
- 21:59Speaker 5: game of behind it, if the offensive line is right, okay,
- 22:03Speaker 5: that's the offense. They feel like they were hoping for
- 22:06Speaker 5: thirty points per game last year.
- 22:07Speaker 2: Front right, that's really exciting, man, I love that. Thank
- 22:11Speaker 2: you for joining me on man, that's.
- 22:13Speaker 3: What we're doing. How easy was that? I was here
- 22:16Speaker 3: for like another hour? What are we doing?
- 22:20Speaker 5: Come all the way to Atlantic Beach for this podcast. Yeah,
- 22:25Speaker 5: in ten minutes.
- 22:26Speaker 2: Ten minutes, Bro, I felt like three minutes.
- 22:28Speaker 3: You said.
- 22:29Speaker 2: You said everything that could need saying, You covered it all.
- 22:33Speaker 2: What a professional.
- 22:34Speaker 3: Wow, what a trip. Great to see it.
- 22:37Speaker 2: How lovely to hear from JP. He wasn't quite as
- 22:41Speaker 2: excited about Gabe Davis as I was. But Jay, honestly,
- 22:45Speaker 2: when I saw Gabe Davis dancing on the field bring
- 22:49Speaker 2: in all of that energy like that, to me, I
- 22:51Speaker 2: got so excited. I didn't see him catch anything. Oh,
- 22:54Speaker 2: I just got excited about the dancing and the energy.
- 22:57Speaker 2: Absolutely fantastic. I mean, you'd be a great analyst when
- 22:59Speaker 2: you're key, Let's be honest. You know you'd be great.
- 23:01Speaker 1: You'd be great talking about the players, which ones are
- 23:04Speaker 1: going to make the roster? You know how they do
- 23:06Speaker 1: like roster was perfect, you know they do like roster
- 23:10Speaker 1: predictions before. It's really just like who's who's the best dancer?
- 23:13Speaker 1: You know, I was going to put on Gabe Davis,
- 23:16Speaker 1: you know his wide receiver two, but I saw his dancing,
- 23:20Speaker 1: he's number one.
- 23:21Speaker 2: Andrew Andrew Wingard bringing the eighties retro swag. That was
- 23:24Speaker 2: another highlight for them.
- 23:26Speaker 1: So really it's just about who brings the swag? Who
- 23:28Speaker 1: brings Which players? We should have done a whole feature
- 23:31Speaker 1: on this. Which players have the best vibes? According to
- 23:35Speaker 1: Key Ramsuran, are.
- 23:36Speaker 2: We talking personality or are we talking like looks?
- 23:40Speaker 1: And well I'm not getting into looks now, I mean
- 23:43Speaker 1: that's just cruel.
- 23:45Speaker 2: So Brian Thomas, Junior's jewelry game phenomenal. Donelle Savage again
- 23:51Speaker 2: like the bling sublime? Anyway, Yeah, I could go.
- 23:54Speaker 1: On top three vibes Donelle Savage, Gabe Davis, Brian Thomas

- 27:57Speaker 1: Okay, it is time for the big question. So every
- 28:02Speaker 1: single edition of Teal Talk, we're joined by a fan
- 28:05Speaker 1: who gives us the big question at this time around
- 28:08Speaker 1: Sarah muk Knight. How are you doing, Sarah? Thank you
- 28:10Speaker 1: for joining us. What is the big question today? Yeah?
- 28:14Speaker 4: So my big question for today for you guys is
- 28:17Speaker 4: if you could pick one game that's upcoming in our season,
- 28:20Speaker 4: what would that you would like us to win? What
- 28:22Speaker 4: game are you pecking and why are you pecking at?
- 28:26Speaker 1: I really like that question. Now, I just want to
- 28:28Speaker 1: caveat that with if either of you answer with the
- 28:31Speaker 1: super Bowl, I'm just gonna I'm going to get like,
- 28:34Speaker 1: drop you off of zoom. We're not answering with the
- 28:37Speaker 1: super Bowl. That is that's too easy, too obvious. I
- 28:41Speaker 1: need to need to rethink. Okay, he do you have
- 28:46Speaker 1: an answer?
- 28:47Speaker 2: I do? I do have an answer. Do you want
- 28:49Speaker 2: me to go first?
- 28:50Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 28:50Speaker 1: Go first?
- 28:50Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 28:50Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay, I'm going to choose this one because I
- 28:54Speaker 2: think it's weak four Texans, and I think you need
- 29:02Speaker 2: to set the stall out early that this is our
- 29:06Speaker 2: division in Houston. Yeah, we are the team this year.
- 29:11Speaker 2: This is our division, and we're coming in and we're
- 29:13Speaker 2: going to dominate you at yours and that's it. We
- 29:17Speaker 2: are setting it out early. Week four, that's mine.
- 29:19Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a really good one. Actually, Week four it's
- 29:22Speaker 1: not the easiest beginning of the season for the Jags
- 29:24Speaker 1: as well. Miami, Cleveland, Buffalo, Houston. Then it's Indianapolis, so
- 29:30Speaker 1: you've got two division games there, so you're right, it's
- 29:32Speaker 1: a good setting out the stool, Sarah, you go next.
- 29:37Speaker 1: I'm just gonna consider mine.
- 29:39Speaker 4: Okay, I'm going to go for a week the bells
- 29:43Speaker 4: purely because it's Monday night football. We typically maybe don't
- 29:48Speaker 4: perform or get the opportunity to perform or like big
- 29:52Speaker 4: mainstream games, and I think we need to show the
- 29:55Speaker 4: kind of rest And obviously we do really well in
- 29:57Speaker 4: London and that's really good for the international fans, but
- 29:59Speaker 4: I think or the core, like NFL fans like across
- 30:03Speaker 4: the world, we need to show what actually what remains
- 30:06Speaker 4: of Sarah.
- 30:07Speaker 2: I absolutely love that, especially considering what happened on Monday
- 30:10Speaker 2: Night football last season that it was like that was
- 30:13Speaker 2: the beginning of us crumbling towards the end of the
- 30:17Speaker 2: second half of last season. If early on this season
- 30:20Speaker 2: we can go nah, that was last year and this
- 30:23Speaker 2: is us now. Absolutely fantastic, man.
- 30:25Speaker 1: I love that choice, really good discounting the London games,
- 30:28Speaker 1: particularly the game at Wembley Stadium, because I think it's
- 30:31Speaker 1: fair to say that we all we would all love
- 30:34Speaker 1: that way at Wembley Stadium to be there and to
- 30:37Speaker 1: watch it happen and continue the Jags good run in London.
- 30:41Speaker 1: I think we're all sort of on the same mindset here,
- 30:44Speaker 1: which is like you just wanna you feel like the
- 30:47Speaker 1: Jags have been I don't know if disrespected is the
- 30:50Speaker 1: right word, but maybe it's been acknowledged that it's going
- 30:54Speaker 1: to be a tough division. I think I spoke about
- 30:57Speaker 1: in the last episode, didn't I Houston Texans with C J.
- 31:00Speaker 1: Stroud a lot of love for them right now.
- 31:04Speaker 3: People.
- 31:04Speaker 1: You know, it seems like the Indianapolis Colts as well,
- 31:07Speaker 1: mainly because I think it's because Anthony Richardson was very
- 31:09Speaker 1: good but very short space of times. I think it's
- 31:11Speaker 1: quite difficult to expand on that. But people have got
- 31:14Speaker 1: a lot of love for him. But you're right, you
- 31:16Speaker 1: need to set out and say almost wave at people
- 31:20Speaker 1: being like, you know, don't forget about us. And that's
- 31:23Speaker 1: why my answer was plainly. The pre sick note wasn't
- 31:27Speaker 1: Week one at Miami Dolphins in Florida. Miami Dolphins, who've
- 31:34Speaker 1: had a lot of love quite rightly as well on
- 31:37Speaker 1: the most part as well. Last season they were, you know,
- 31:40Speaker 1: a really exciting team to watch. There's going to be
- 31:43Speaker 1: a lot of people that think that they are, if
- 31:45Speaker 1: not super Bowl contenders, then definitely layoff contenders that can
- 31:49Speaker 1: make a good run with some really exciting players. To
- 31:53Speaker 1: go out there, to go to Miami and to beat
- 31:56Speaker 1: the Dolphins, I think it's good. It's doing the same
- 31:59Speaker 1: things as what you're saying. Really key is just sort
- 32:01Speaker 1: of to say, don't forget about us, we're here, we
- 32:05Speaker 1: are a good team.
- 32:06Speaker 2: I think it's really interesting, like all three of us
- 32:09Speaker 2: have gone for early games, and I think it's so important.
- 32:15Speaker 2: Let's hope that if that does happen, then they set
- 32:19Speaker 2: their stall out really early, that what happened last year
- 32:23Speaker 2: doesn't happen again. Maybe one of us should have bicked
- 32:25Speaker 2: a later game.
- 32:26Speaker 3: Well that's it.
- 32:26Speaker 2: I'm like, do you know what Week nine, Week nine?
- 32:29Speaker 1: What can I say? I'm actually thinking about it. I
- 32:31Speaker 1: actually believe we're all wrong. We are, like all three
- 32:33Speaker 1: of us are wrong because in reality, we should have
- 32:36Speaker 1: chosen like Week seventeen, Tennessee Titans. For two reasons, it's
- 32:40Speaker 1: the Titans, and also because the games at the end
- 32:43Speaker 1: of the season, do you know what I mean, because
- 32:45Speaker 1: you don't know where you are.
- 32:46Speaker 2: Jay, They'll be thirteen and three by then.
- 32:49Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's it. No one cares, No one
- 32:53Speaker 1: cares if it's about that. But they do mean more.
- 32:55Speaker 1: I mean, even looking back at last season, just you know,
- 32:57Speaker 1: with the Jags, but with you know, a lot of
- 32:59Speaker 1: teams as well well. Those last two to three games
- 33:03Speaker 1: they make such a huge difference, don't they. They are
- 33:06Speaker 1: the difference between playoffs and not. So in reality, probably
- 33:10Speaker 1: should have chosen one of those. Probably should have chosen
- 33:12Speaker 1: one of those.
- 33:13Speaker 2: Sarah, what what are your expectations for this season?
- 33:17Speaker 4: I really think that everybody is sort of like underestimating us.
- 33:23Speaker 4: I'm obviously I'm obviously hopeful. I'm hopeful every single season.
- 33:27Speaker 4: But I think we've got kind of all the right
- 33:29Speaker 4: tools all lined up in the toolbox now and it's
- 33:32Speaker 4: just a case of them all coming together and obviously
- 33:34Speaker 4: with kind of the full team kind of back to
- 33:37Speaker 4: like health and everybody's kind of.
- 33:38Speaker 1: Good to go.
- 33:39Speaker 4: I think will hopefully be a great season for us,
- 33:44Speaker 4: and I look forward to playing the Chiefs in the
- 33:47Speaker 4: AFC playoffs.
- 33:49Speaker 1: I've got to say, if you're not watching on YouTube
- 33:52Speaker 1: right now, you've got an excellent jersey on as well.
- 33:55Speaker 1: So you've got that last last season, did you?
- 33:58Speaker 4: Yeah? Last season? So I I was talking with our
- 34:01Speaker 4: group of friends who watched American football together and I went, oh,
- 34:04Speaker 4: don't want Calm Ridley jersey. Don't want them Ingram jersey.
- 34:07Speaker 4: And they were saying, oh, no, go for RIDLEYO Fridley,
- 34:09Speaker 4: and I went no, no, because I had Ingram on Fantasy.
- 34:12Speaker 4: So I was like, okay, I'm going to keep Ingram
- 34:14Speaker 4: and I was I made the correct choice, so I
- 34:18Speaker 4: knew my soul.
- 34:20Speaker 1: You know, it's such an amazing feeling as well, when
- 34:22Speaker 1: you know you've made the right decision and then you
- 34:25Speaker 1: don't have to think do I just squish that at
- 34:27Speaker 1: the bottom of the draw.
- 34:29Speaker 4: Like every other jersey I've gotten has been a player
- 34:31Speaker 4: that has left the season after because I got I
- 34:35Speaker 4: got Trevor's jersey a couple of years ago and I
- 34:36Speaker 4: was like, hey, this will be fine. And now it's
- 34:39Speaker 4: that I don't have to worry about getting another quarterback jersey.
- 34:41Speaker 4: And then this is the first, this is the first
- 34:43Speaker 4: one I've been like, oh, okay, yeah, I made the
- 34:45Speaker 4: right choice. Yeah.
- 34:46Speaker 2: So your main reaction to Trevor's new contract was great,
- 34:49Speaker 2: I don't have to buy a new Jersey's.
- 34:51Speaker 4: No more jerseys. I can buy the color of rush jersey.
- 34:55Speaker 4: You don't have to worry about it.
- 34:58Speaker 1: How did you become a Jags fan?
- 34:59Speaker 3: Sir?
- 35:00Speaker 4: So, I worked for two summers in Walt Disney World, Florida,
- 35:04Speaker 4: and loads of like my colleagues and stuff were all
- 35:07Speaker 4: from Jacksonville. So my now husband and his friends are
- 35:12Speaker 4: all American football fans, and they said, okay, you need
- 35:13Speaker 4: to pick a team. To pick a team, and I went, okay, well,
- 35:16Speaker 4: I want somewhere that like kind of represents a part
- 35:18Speaker 4: of me or something about me. And I went, okay, well,
- 35:22Speaker 4: I don't really want the Dolphins and I didn't want
- 35:25Speaker 4: the Bucks, so kind of almost settled on the Jags.
- 35:28Speaker 4: But I mean, it's probably the best decision I could
- 35:30Speaker 4: have made, because I love an underdog, and.
- 35:32Speaker 1: Also obviously the fact that you know, there's always I
- 35:35Speaker 1: don't know if you managed to get to any of
- 35:36Speaker 1: the games in the UK, but you know, there's always
- 35:38Speaker 1: the opportunity to go and see them every single year.
- 35:41Speaker 1: Make such of difference, isn't it.
- 35:42Speaker 4: Yeah, first game, so, first of one in the game
- 35:44Speaker 4: I went to was Eagles versus Jacks, which was a
- 35:47Speaker 4: great experience, and obviously we were like, oh, okay, let's
- 35:51Speaker 4: see how we get on. And the Eagles have just
- 35:52Speaker 4: won Super Bowl, so we were like, oh okay, let's see, okay,
- 35:55Speaker 4: where the benchmark is.
- 35:57Speaker 2: That's something else, aren't they.
- 35:58Speaker 4: They're crazy like Philly like I mean Philly Pride, but
- 36:03Speaker 4: like they're like crazy, And that was great. And then
- 36:06Speaker 4: last year I got to see the Jags and the Bills,
- 36:09Speaker 4: so which was awesome. It was a great game because
- 36:13Speaker 4: obviously half of New York State were there and I
- 36:15Speaker 4: was like, buy them. But we obvious play well against
- 36:19Speaker 4: the Bills. Everyone kind of, I think underestimates us.
- 36:21Speaker 2: With the Bills.
- 36:22Speaker 4: We just seemed to kind of have them on lockdown
- 36:24Speaker 4: and the fact we've picked up like half their team
- 36:27Speaker 4: seems to be.
- 36:29Speaker 1: I didn't even think about that. It's true. Yeah, of
- 36:31Speaker 1: course I'm looking to keep this in let us know
- 36:37Speaker 1: when you've coffee your guts out.
- 36:38Speaker 2: My daughter has a pink feather boa and I think
- 36:41Speaker 2: I've got a feather in line.
- 36:42Speaker 4: That was like me on Saturday at my wedding, a
- 36:44Speaker 4: bit of confee, like, oh.
- 36:48Speaker 1: We definitely have to keep this in now, we have
- 36:50Speaker 1: to keep it. Oh, please tell me how a jag
- 36:52Speaker 1: steamed wedding.
- 36:53Speaker 3: Do you know?
- 36:53Speaker 4: We actually went for like a Formula one themed wedding
- 36:57Speaker 4: only because my husband seems are sort of and the
- 37:00Speaker 4: colors don't match, so we went cadulous like yeah, I
- 37:04Speaker 4: mean the teal the orange would have been a but.
- 37:06Speaker 1: So never did I ever think that he coffin his
- 37:09Speaker 1: guts that would lead us to a lovely wedding chat.
- 37:12Speaker 1: But here we are, here, we are, here, we are
- 37:14Speaker 1: Congratulations career. I actually got married a couple months ago
- 37:17Speaker 1: as well. Oh my goodness, we should celebrate us. If
- 37:21Speaker 1: I if I had any NFL memorabilia, I think in
- 37:25Speaker 1: the wedding, I think that there probably would have been
- 37:27Speaker 1: some sort of a noblement about a week lately to
- 37:29Speaker 1: be just check. Sarah, thank you so much for joining us.
- 37:32Speaker 1: I want to give a shout out to your TikTok
- 37:34Speaker 1: as well, because you've you've been you know, your sort
- 37:36Speaker 1: of angle online is you know it's for the swifties.
- 37:39Speaker 4: Yeah, pretty much as like a kind of fully all
- 37:43Speaker 4: round sports fan. I think especially women find it really
- 37:46Speaker 4: difficult to sort of get into sports or find the
- 37:48Speaker 4: lead into sports without kind of being made fun of
- 37:52Speaker 4: or you know, I kind of have that man trail like, oh,
- 37:55Speaker 4: you only like the sport because of whatever reason. And
- 37:58Speaker 4: I ad a swifty for pretty much since forever and
- 38:02Speaker 4: obviously the you know, the mad creation of the tailor
- 38:06Speaker 4: and Travis Kelsey. I thought a lot of people were
- 38:09Speaker 4: coming up to me and being like, Okay, how did
- 38:10Speaker 4: you get into how does it even work? Like what
- 38:12Speaker 4: are the rules? And I really wanted to try and
- 38:14Speaker 4: find a way for them to understand it a bit better.
- 38:17Speaker 4: And that's kind of the whole angle of what I'm
- 38:20Speaker 4: trying to do. And it seems to be really really
- 38:22Speaker 4: recepted at the moment, so and long may continue. I'm
- 38:25Speaker 4: not posted a while obviously because I got married, So that.
- 38:27Speaker 1: Was that's a good excuse. That's a good excuse. What's
- 38:32Speaker 1: your what's your handles so people can follow you?
- 38:34Speaker 4: So it's just say a talk sport or it's on
- 38:37Speaker 4: TikTok at the moment. Hopefully brandche at some point, but yeah,
- 38:39Speaker 4: you can follow me on TikTok there.

- 38:53Speaker 1: Good question as well. That actually, okay, good question and
- 38:56Speaker 1: something that I hadn't really thought about because obviously the
- 38:59Speaker 1: divisional matchup you always think are more important for rivalry
- 39:03Speaker 1: purposes as well as as anything else. But you have
- 39:06Speaker 1: to sort of think about loads of different things. And
- 39:09Speaker 1: there was and I bet you attempted to say, you know,
- 39:12Speaker 1: first game of the preseason.
- 39:14Speaker 2: I was only because it's Kansas City Chiefs and I
- 39:17Speaker 2: think we need to make a point, to.
- 39:19Speaker 1: Make a point against a Patrick Mahomes less Kansas City Chiefs.
- 39:24Speaker 2: I'm just saying, it all.
- 39:24Speaker 1: Counts, it will counts, It all counts. Okay, that's about
- 39:28Speaker 1: it for the episode today. Key, We're going to be back.
