1:04
Speaker 2: It is. You got Greg Newsom? Yeah, Hey, I watched.
1:07
Speaker 3: A clip of him the other day in his backpedal. Man,
1:09
Speaker 3: it was it was fantastic. Man, he's I like his game.
1:13
Speaker 1: I like the fact I will ask him about this
1:15
Speaker 1: as well, that Greg Newsom played in London for the
1:18
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns earlier this year and then went back to
1:22
Speaker 1: the US and then got traded to the Jags and
1:24
Speaker 1: flew straight back out again to go play for the
1:27
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars.
1:28
Speaker 2: Hey, he's the man. Due can play too. Man.
1:31
Speaker 3: I really like what he's been able to do for
1:32
Speaker 3: that defense man as a great upgrade. So you should
1:36
Speaker 3: have a really cool conversation with him.
1:37
Speaker 1: What we're gonna do is we're gonna touch very briefly
1:39
Speaker 1: upon the last regular season game for the Jacksonville Jaguars,
1:42
Speaker 1: because let's be honest, how much we care about it
1:45
Speaker 1: when we've got so much other stuff to talk about.
1:47
Speaker 1: Be the Titans convincingly forty one seven, obviously now winners
1:53
Speaker 1: of the AFC South. The Jacksonville Jaguars needed to do that.
1:57
Speaker 1: Did that game? You know, show you anything?
1:59
Speaker 2: Looking for key word?
2:01
Speaker 3: You just said convincingly, that's what you wanted to see.
2:03
Speaker 3: You wanted to go in there and do what you do.
2:06
Speaker 3: You wanted to look hot, you wanted to look efficient.
2:08
Speaker 3: That's what they did. You don't want to go into
2:10
Speaker 3: this next game, especially against the Bills, feeling like you
2:13
Speaker 3: didn't play your best game or you didn't execute.
2:15
Speaker 2: They went out there, they did that.
2:16
Speaker 3: That was the key, Trevor Lawrence keeping him in there
2:19
Speaker 3: to get four thousand yards.
2:20
Speaker 2: Loved it.
2:21
Speaker 3: So you're going in on a high practice. It is
2:24
Speaker 3: probably very intense, very focused, but yet very confident. And
2:29
Speaker 3: it's because of your performance last week.
2:31
Speaker 1: You know what, This might be the best ever regular
2:36
Speaker 1: season performance from the Jacksonville Jacquits. I'm going to put
2:39
Speaker 1: it out there just to put into context. They finished
2:42
Speaker 1: ten and six the year the Jags got to the
2:45
Speaker 1: AFC Championship. But this second half of the season and
2:48
Speaker 1: what I particularly loved about watching the Jags in the
2:50
Speaker 1: second half of the season, and we saw it against
2:52
Speaker 1: the Titans, we saw against the Coast, we saw it
2:54
Speaker 1: against the bronc coas we saw it against the Jets,
2:56
Speaker 1: is that this Jags team then on just winning a
3:01
Speaker 1: lot of the time, they are winning convincingly. In the end,
3:05
Speaker 1: we're looking at one score like two school three score
3:08
Speaker 1: games a lot of the time. J Bell and the
3:12
Speaker 1: confidence that must be within this locker room going into
3:15
Speaker 1: the playoffs, I mean, that's what you want right now.
3:17
Speaker 3: Without a doubt. And one thing they do well is
3:19
Speaker 3: they make you pay for your mistakes. If you make
3:21
Speaker 3: a turnover, they capitalize on it. That's what good teams
3:24
Speaker 3: do when it comes to the playoffs, That's what it's
3:26
Speaker 3: all about. Minimizing your errors, and if you make one
3:29
Speaker 3: against Jacksonville, they're making you pay. And that's why they are.
3:34
Speaker 3: If they're not the hottest team, they're the second hottest team.
3:36
Speaker 3: I mean, right now, you cannot argue with the way
3:40
Speaker 3: they are performing.
3:42
Speaker 2: Right now. They are at their peak.
3:44
Speaker 3: We talk about a season being long and being in
3:46
Speaker 3: quarters and having to having to improve week to week.
3:48
Speaker 3: You hear these coaches, Hey, we keep chugging away, we
3:51
Speaker 3: keep building, and we all think it's noise. But you
3:53
Speaker 3: look at it right now and you look at where
3:55
Speaker 3: Jacksonville is, it's not noise because that's exactly what they've done.
3:59
Speaker 3: They can continue to fix problems, lean on their strengths
4:03
Speaker 3: and get better every single week. And now going into
4:07
Speaker 3: the playoffs, they are at their peak.
4:09
Speaker 2: They just need to keep riding his train.
4:11
Speaker 1: I wonder what your highlight of the last game of
4:13
Speaker 1: the season was, Jay Bell. I think he's got something
4:15
Speaker 1: to do with the Trevor Lawrence in the and the
4:17
Speaker 1: celebration in the locker room afterwards. You want to explain that?
4:21
Speaker 1: Do you want to explain what went on?
4:23
Speaker 2: Man? You know you have all these memes. Trevor with
4:27
Speaker 2: the grill. It's duval.
4:31
Speaker 3: You know, it's a part of It's a part of
4:33
Speaker 3: the makeup the fabric.
4:35
Speaker 2: It's good joke, good fun.
4:37
Speaker 3: Now the fact that everybody laughs about it and it's cool,
4:41
Speaker 3: that's one thing, and he plays up to it. But
4:45
Speaker 3: when you're a defensive player gives a grill that they
4:49
Speaker 3: pay for, the team paid for to Trevor Lawrence post gang,
4:55
Speaker 3: he puts it in, they laugh, they celebrate. Excuse me,
4:59
Speaker 3: I'm almost choking up on this because this is for real.
5:05
Speaker 2: You have to be enduring to your team if you're
5:09
Speaker 2: the quarterback.
5:10
Speaker 3: Now we know Trevor Lawrence, he's a low key family
5:12
Speaker 3: man all that, but it's the little things you do.
5:17
Speaker 3: They showed how much they appreciate that dude with that gesture,
5:22
Speaker 3: and he took it and he ran with it because
5:24
Speaker 3: he understood how important it was for them that he
5:27
Speaker 3: is one of them, and that made him one of them.
5:30
Speaker 3: They know that they understand that they love that about him.
5:34
Speaker 3: You're going into the playoffs with your quarterbacks playing the
5:38
Speaker 3: best he's ever played.
5:39
Speaker 2: The team loves them.
5:41
Speaker 3: This is a guy who came into the season thinking,
5:43
Speaker 3: I have a lot to prove.
5:45
Speaker 2: Do people like me? Do they care?
5:46
Speaker 3: Do they trust me? Do they believe in me? My goodness,
5:51
Speaker 3: that gesture said it all. We laugh, we joke, it's cool.
5:55
Speaker 4: Ha ha.
5:55
Speaker 3: No, that meant a lot, because that meant a lot
5:57
Speaker 3: to the community. That meant a lot to his team.
6:01
Speaker 3: That's what you need. You have a year to become
6:04
Speaker 3: a family one year because it's a new roster every year,
6:08
Speaker 3: and you need to be tight like a tight tennis
6:12
Speaker 3: ball at this point of the year. That showed it.
6:15
Speaker 3: That my friend showed it. And I've been in those
6:18
Speaker 3: locker rooms. I've had quarterbacks I really like, I really
6:21
Speaker 3: trust whatever, those relationships, those times, those moments, a defensive
6:26
Speaker 3: back giving it to him. You bout them every day.
6:30
Speaker 3: This is why they're dangerous. They are together, they're playing well.
6:34
Speaker 3: There's belief they are a family.
6:37
Speaker 1: And I think that you know, you can't speak about
6:39
Speaker 1: that enough for it, it can you because you can
6:41
Speaker 1: have really talented to players on the field, but I'm
6:44
Speaker 1: going to use the word vibes. If the vibes aren't
6:47
Speaker 1: right in the locker room, then that is so detrimental
6:50
Speaker 1: to your chances, you know, going forward. And it just
6:52
Speaker 1: feels like everything is moving forward in the right direction.
6:55
Speaker 1: And the other thing I want to say is, you know,
6:57
Speaker 1: let's move them to the buildings and in one second.
6:59
Speaker 1: But the other thing I wanted to say is, no
7:01
Speaker 1: matter what happens this weekend, no matter what happens, what
7:05
Speaker 1: an incredible season for the Jacksonville Janky was. What an
7:08
Speaker 1: incredible season for Liam Cohen, James Gladstone to come in,
7:13
Speaker 1: to be ambitious, to put in this new system to
7:17
Speaker 1: try and move the Jags forward. And I don't know,
7:20
Speaker 1: I don't want to put words in their mouth for
7:22
Speaker 1: obvious reason. I don't know if they ever thought that
7:24
Speaker 1: it would work so well, particularly in the second half
7:26
Speaker 1: of the season, but it has also and also what
7:31
Speaker 1: a brilliant moment for fans in the UK, for fans
7:34
Speaker 1: in Ireland as well that follow the Jacksonville Jankins, that
7:37
Speaker 1: have that hope that maybe the Jags can be competitive,
7:41
Speaker 1: can get into the playoffs and could be one of
7:43
Speaker 1: the favorites for the super Bowl, and it's just happened.
7:46
Speaker 2: Within a year.
7:46
Speaker 1: I mean, it's been an amazing.
7:48
Speaker 2: Journey, unbelievable, unexpected.
7:51
Speaker 3: When we saw the incremental growth this season, I thought, man,
7:54
Speaker 3: this is cool, like wow, right, this is happening, And
7:58
Speaker 3: a lot of things you didn't know if they were sustainable,
8:01
Speaker 3: but you kind of could see the identity coming through.
8:04
Speaker 3: So yes, we have to celebrate that. Let's be honest,
8:07
Speaker 3: all right, But if you're in that organization, you can't
8:10
Speaker 3: skip a beat man because I don't care what happens,
8:13
Speaker 3: you will be evaluated.
8:15
Speaker 2: By this game.
8:16
Speaker 3: You get in the dance, how you perform, it'll be
8:18
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence.
8:19
Speaker 2: Was this in the regular season? What was he in
8:21
Speaker 2: the postseason? All of that? So you have to keep
8:24
Speaker 2: on task.
8:26
Speaker 1: That's a good point. Hey, Just before, just before we
8:28
Speaker 1: move on, I just want to give another big shout
8:30
Speaker 1: out to and you know that we love kickers here
8:32
Speaker 1: in the UK. J Bell. You know that we love
8:36
Speaker 1: people that kick the ball with that feet, Cam Little
8:39
Speaker 1: sixty seven YadA, I think it was. I think it's
8:41
Speaker 1: something like the longest ever field goal outside. I think
8:44
Speaker 1: that I read that. I think that that's correct and Obviously,
8:47
Speaker 1: he now holds the record for the first the longest
8:49
Speaker 1: and the second longest feel goal of all type.
8:51
Speaker 2: So he's got a much swagger.
8:54
Speaker 3: So once again, you have to have players that identify
8:58
Speaker 3: with the city.
8:59
Speaker 2: It's just what it is. This is what's unique.
9:01
Speaker 3: And if you've been to Duval County you understand a
9:04
Speaker 3: beach town different flow. All that man, his swag, the
9:08
Speaker 3: way he approaches it, people love him. One thing about
9:11
Speaker 3: a kicker, I hate saying this because it's just crazy.
9:14
Speaker 3: It's one of the most pressure positions in football. A
9:17
Speaker 3: lot of times you can't think about what you're gonna do.
9:19
Speaker 3: You just have to go out there and play right.
9:20
Speaker 3: As a corner, you got to you gotta shake it
9:22
Speaker 3: off and go to the next play. As a kicker,
9:24
Speaker 3: you're just thinking, you're thinking, you're thinking, you're thinking, then
9:28
Speaker 3: you kick.
9:29
Speaker 2: That's tough.
9:30
Speaker 3: The confidence they have in him, the confidence they have
9:32
Speaker 3: in their quarterback.
9:34
Speaker 2: Think about it throughout the game.
9:36
Speaker 1: Championship formula, let's move forward, let's go, and let's go.
9:41
Speaker 1: It's all about It's all about the wild card. With
9:43
Speaker 1: your big five questions, Jay about number one? Straight up?
9:48
Speaker 1: Can the Jags beat the Bills?
9:51
Speaker 3: Absolutely, there are a more talented team. They have more
9:56
Speaker 3: talent in their in better form right now. They have
10:00
Speaker 3: different ways they can beat you, which is the key
10:03
Speaker 3: to this game.
10:04
Speaker 2: But yes, they can.
10:06
Speaker 3: Everybody will be focused on the quarterbacks, obviously, that's the conversation.
10:10
Speaker 3: I'm focused on the team, and Jacksonville has a better,
10:12
Speaker 3: more talented team.
10:15
Speaker 1: How do you think the QBS match up in this one?
10:17
Speaker 1: I think this is a great question.
10:19
Speaker 2: I think they're quite similar.
10:22
Speaker 3: Their ability to run the ball and make you pay,
10:25
Speaker 3: especially with Trevor in the red area.
10:28
Speaker 2: In the red zone.
10:29
Speaker 3: That's the same with Josh Allen because it's not up
10:33
Speaker 3: in the cold of ridiculous weather, armstreng you know, throwing
10:38
Speaker 3: in bad weather. That's not a conversation. I will say.
10:41
Speaker 3: The fear with Josh Allen is in the fourth quarter.
10:45
Speaker 3: He knows when to put that cape on, so you
10:47
Speaker 3: got to put him in a position where it's not
10:49
Speaker 3: He doesn't have the ability to do that. I think
10:53
Speaker 3: the way Trevor's playing right now, he's so confident, he's
10:57
Speaker 3: playing his best in a game like this pushes him
11:00
Speaker 3: into the conversation.
11:01
Speaker 2: Of the top five quarterbacks.
11:03
Speaker 3: So it'll be a great, great game, a great duel.
11:07
Speaker 3: But once again I'm looking at the team and the
11:10
Speaker 3: weapons that he has and that's his advantage.
11:13
Speaker 1: Well, then what are the other key matchups to look
11:15
Speaker 1: out for?
11:16
Speaker 2: Oh, we got to run the ball.
11:17
Speaker 3: Listen when you talk about this defense of the Buffalo
11:22
Speaker 3: Bills and Sean McDermott.
11:24
Speaker 2: One thing Sean McDermott can do well.
11:26
Speaker 3: If you are good at throwing or running, he sells
11:30
Speaker 3: out to take it away and he is going to
11:32
Speaker 3: design ways to stop that.
11:33
Speaker 2: He's really good at that.
11:35
Speaker 3: Defensively, when they're in their zones, he can spot drop
11:39
Speaker 3: kind of flood those areas, bring pressure, design pressure, all that.
11:43
Speaker 3: If you are one dimensional, he's at his best if
11:46
Speaker 3: you can run the ball and throw with you know,
11:50
Speaker 3: with some kind of balance, and even if your runs
11:53
Speaker 3: aren't super successful, but there, you know, they're chugging along
11:56
Speaker 3: and he has to now guess that's when you catch him.
12:00
Speaker 3: And that's what they gotta do. They have to be
12:02
Speaker 3: able to run the ball. That is Buffalo's weakness. Travis
12:06
Speaker 3: etn has to have a big, big game because they
12:11
Speaker 3: are not going to let all these wide receivers beat
12:14
Speaker 3: them and get all these yards after the catch.
12:17
Speaker 2: And all that they know.
12:19
Speaker 3: That's exactly how the Jags have been explosive. They're going
12:23
Speaker 3: to have to sell out at times to take that away.
12:26
Speaker 3: You got to be able to run the rock. And
12:29
Speaker 3: guess who's one of the best play designers when it
12:32
Speaker 3: comes to a running game.
12:34
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Lecard, isn't this what you did before?
12:37
Speaker 2: Isn't this why we got you.
12:38
Speaker 3: From Tampa because of your diverse running games? Well, what's
12:42
Speaker 3: the game plan? How does it look? That'll be one
12:44
Speaker 3: of the keys.
12:46
Speaker 1: Well, let's look back a little bit. What were the
12:48
Speaker 1: turning points this season to take the Jags to the playoffs?
12:52
Speaker 3: So past five six weeks, the way that especially Jacoby Mina, Okay,
13:00
Speaker 3: we get Jacoby Myers in Oh my goodness. Now Trevor
13:03
Speaker 3: has somebody he can trust over the middle. He's always
13:06
Speaker 3: wanted to take those plays and risk it over the middle,
13:09
Speaker 3: throw the rock. He just needed somebody depend the ball.
13:12
Speaker 3: Now he has somebody like that. Parker Washington's elevation has
13:15
Speaker 3: been key, but it really the spark was Jacoby Myers
13:19
Speaker 3: And what Trevor has been able to do in the
13:21
Speaker 3: red area is really the key. And I've seen that
13:24
Speaker 3: for the past five six weeks. What do I mean?
13:26
Speaker 3: He would you know, he drived down there and he'd
13:28
Speaker 3: make those mistakes. But now the pitcher is a lot
13:31
Speaker 3: clear the understanding, more touchdowns, less turnovers.
13:34
Speaker 2: That's evident.
13:35
Speaker 3: The stats say that he is improved more than any
13:38
Speaker 3: other quarterback in this last quarter of the season.
13:41
Speaker 2: That's been the turning point. That's what you wanted.
13:44
Speaker 3: It takes time to learn a new offense, feel comfortable,
13:48
Speaker 3: have commanded the line of scrimmage. That's what he has
13:50
Speaker 3: right now. That's why they're so good and they're so dangerous.
13:54
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence's improvement relationship with Liam Cohen. They're seeing the
13:59
Speaker 3: game the same way. You can see them when they
14:01
Speaker 3: come up the sideline and they look at each other
14:03
Speaker 3: and say, yeah, you know all that, because think about it,
14:05
Speaker 3: they are one mind out there.
14:07
Speaker 2: Did you see it?
14:07
Speaker 3: I thought, oh, you got it. This is what we
14:09
Speaker 3: talked about. That takes time. That has been the key
14:12
Speaker 3: to their success.
14:14
Speaker 1: And who are the Jags to watch in these playoff games?
14:20
Speaker 3: So obviously it's your quarterback. Let's go on offense. Obviously
14:23
Speaker 3: your quarterback. Each end's got to be big man, he's
14:28
Speaker 3: got to be big and I think he will. We
14:30
Speaker 3: know all the weapons on offense, you have all your
14:33
Speaker 3: wide receivers diverse, they all have different skill sets. Right,
14:36
Speaker 3: you got to keep feeding the ball. They got to
14:37
Speaker 3: keep doing what they're doing. The two inside linebackers have
14:42
Speaker 3: to keep causing havoc, right, Devin Lloyd, Right, a loa
14:50
Speaker 3: Con they have to basically right, that's where your turnovers
14:53
Speaker 3: come from.
14:55
Speaker 2: And a loa Con.
14:56
Speaker 3: Does such a good job with getting into the passing
14:59
Speaker 3: lanes like he's the leader. He's communicating all of those concepts,
15:03
Speaker 3: like when you got a flood an area, when you
15:05
Speaker 3: got to take away something. Remember this is when they're
15:07
Speaker 3: in zone coverage. They do a good job spot dropping.
15:10
Speaker 3: And it's because of those linebackers. Man, we've had fast
15:13
Speaker 3: inside linebackers. Your team is fast because they're covering up
15:16
Speaker 3: so much space. They are going to be key because
15:20
Speaker 3: I mean, what is Jackson? I mean, what is the
15:22
Speaker 3: The Bills want to throw those tight ends? You know
15:24
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. They want to do all that, They're
15:27
Speaker 3: gonna be key. And I'm gonna tell you this, the
15:29
Speaker 3: corners on the outside are gonna have some hard downs.
15:31
Speaker 3: They're just gonna have to erase people because they're gonna
15:35
Speaker 3: have to put more assets towards them, tight ends and
15:39
Speaker 3: all those routes underneath.
15:40
Speaker 1: You know, I want to touch upon a couple of
15:41
Speaker 1: things that you mentioned already actually, and that's you know,
15:44
Speaker 1: there's the big factor playing the Bills. And this isn't
15:48
Speaker 1: a controversial statement, it's a very obvious statement. Is Josh Allen.
15:52
Speaker 1: The unpredictability of Josh Allen, the fact that he can
15:55
Speaker 1: be a magician at times for his team, and the
15:58
Speaker 1: fact that he is so good not only with his arm,
16:01
Speaker 1: but with his legs as well. And I think that's
16:02
Speaker 1: sort of what you were getting at a little bit
16:04
Speaker 1: earlier on sort of comparing Trevor Lawrence to him in
16:06
Speaker 1: a way, especially over the last few weeks utilizing his legs,
16:09
Speaker 1: if you are able and the Jags defense has shown
16:12
Speaker 1: over the last few weeks, specifically that they are one
16:14
Speaker 1: of the best units in football at the moment, if
16:16
Speaker 1: you are able to stifle Josh Allen, how much of
16:21
Speaker 1: a difference does that make. I know he's a magician,
16:23
Speaker 1: but if you are able to really stifle him, do
16:26
Speaker 1: you see any way that the Bills can actually get
16:28
Speaker 1: this win?
16:28
Speaker 3: I'm so glad you pose this question because I was gonna.
16:33
Speaker 3: I was holding something back and I was just gonna
16:34
Speaker 3: get it in there as a surprise. But now you
16:37
Speaker 3: have led me to the water and I will drink.
16:39
Speaker 1: Let's do it.
16:40
Speaker 2: I will drink.
16:41
Speaker 3: And it's allan on Alan crime. It's a Alan crime.
16:45
Speaker 3: You asked me all these things about players when I
16:47
Speaker 3: left out a key person for a reason, for a reason.
16:51
Speaker 3: This is why you paid Joshua Minds Alan all this
16:56
Speaker 3: money and tray Von Walker. It's time for the to
17:01
Speaker 3: literally take over the game, right. They have to dominate
17:07
Speaker 3: their matchups. They have to condense that pocket. It will
17:11
Speaker 3: be about lain discipline, how you rush him, how you
17:14
Speaker 3: contain him.
17:15
Speaker 2: Those two dudes have to set the edge.
17:18
Speaker 3: They have to set the tone and they have to
17:21
Speaker 3: get that man on the ground. If you can win
17:24
Speaker 3: what four, you will dominate. You're gonna have to stop
17:29
Speaker 3: the run. You're gonna have to be stout at the
17:31
Speaker 3: line of scrimmage. And that is the key. That's the key.
17:36
Speaker 3: That front has to take over. The offensive tackles are
17:39
Speaker 3: good for the Bills, but you gotta win those matchups.
17:43
Speaker 3: And I have a lot of faith in this defensive
17:45
Speaker 3: coordinator and the way he can scheme up and design
17:48
Speaker 3: game plans, actual game plans for their opponent. He's done
17:52
Speaker 3: a good job all year. Why would I doubt him now?
17:55
Speaker 3: But your players have to win. Your stars have to
17:59
Speaker 3: be stars. And that's exactly what you're going to have
18:01
Speaker 3: to see on that defensive line.
18:03
Speaker 2: You know.
18:03
Speaker 1: And obviously the more that you put Josh Allen off
18:06
Speaker 1: of his game, the more likely he's he's going to
18:08
Speaker 1: be able to throw, you know, not so pinpoint pass.
18:11
Speaker 1: And what have the jack's been doing over the last
18:13
Speaker 1: few weeks?
18:13
Speaker 3: You see the formula, You see the formula. You got
18:16
Speaker 3: to you gotta take away the easy buttons, stop the run,
18:19
Speaker 3: make sure you flood all the little areas he wants
18:22
Speaker 3: to throw in. And then he goes, oh it's cape time.
18:24
Speaker 3: Oh it's cape time. And then at that time you
18:27
Speaker 3: need to say, what are the cape time plays?
18:29
Speaker 2: Okay?
18:29
Speaker 3: And then if you can steal a possession, then oh man,
18:33
Speaker 3: in a tightly contested game, there you go. You've done
18:36
Speaker 3: it all year, you capitalized on it. You have to
18:40
Speaker 3: continue to be your identity. This is who you are
18:44
Speaker 3: when you're one on one matchups, force turnovers, take advantage
18:48
Speaker 3: of them, be proficient and efficient in the red zone area,
18:53
Speaker 3: no turnovers.
18:54
Speaker 1: A couple of stats. Fully, JABO, don't know how much
18:57
Speaker 1: we can we can take stuck in them, but still
19:00
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, the head coach of the Buffalo Bills, has
19:04
Speaker 1: played five away playoff games in his career as head
19:10
Speaker 1: coach of the Bills. He is won none of.
19:12
Speaker 3: Them really, you know what, Yeah, because they're usually leaning
19:16
Speaker 3: on that home field advantage, especially with the weather this
19:18
Speaker 3: time of year, them down to South Florida, my friend.
19:22
Speaker 1: And one of them was the year that the Jags
19:25
Speaker 1: did get to the AFC Championship game back the twenty
19:28
Speaker 1: seventeen season where the Jags beat the Bills. So that's
19:32
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. Let's go on
19:35
Speaker 1: to the predictions then j Bell, the Mini Trevor Lawrence
19:39
Speaker 1: Figurine up for grabs. I don't even know if I
19:42
Speaker 1: should even bother playing anymore, to be honest, obviously, I
19:44
Speaker 1: know nothing about ball. Key predicted the biggest Jags win
19:47
Speaker 1: thirty one ten against the Titans, obviously, so he's Jason seventeen,
19:52
Speaker 1: Key sixteen, and I'm just like languishing now at the
19:55
Speaker 1: bottom on fourteen. I have to hope for a long
19:59
Speaker 1: playoff run for the Jags to have any hope of
20:01
Speaker 1: not being bottom. So let's hope. Let's hope. We've got
20:05
Speaker 1: World cud Round Divisional Round Championship game to four more games.
20:09
Speaker 1: Let's how we have the We have four more games
20:11
Speaker 1: left this week, obviously, Bill's at home predictions?
20:15
Speaker 2: Do you want?
20:15
Speaker 1: Do you want to go first? Jay Bell? I know
20:17
Speaker 1: that last week you were getting all funny about this.
20:19
Speaker 1: Do you want to go first or not?
20:21
Speaker 3: I mean, I feel like I stood my ground last week,
20:24
Speaker 3: so it's not worth, you know, doing it again. You know, like,
20:26
Speaker 3: it's not like I don't want to be that guy
20:28
Speaker 3: people start questioning our friendship.
20:30
Speaker 2: I don't want that to happen. And you're a busy man.
20:32
Speaker 3: You know, you got like seventeen jobs, so I don't
20:34
Speaker 3: want to stretch you out.
20:35
Speaker 1: Let's let's do keys first. Okay, Keys was twenty eight
20:39
Speaker 1: twenty one, So what's yours? Jaybell?
20:42
Speaker 2: Mine, he's twenty eight twenty one. I'm thirty.

Speaker 1: Thirty four thirty one.
21:14
Speaker 2: Woof yeah, do you know what.
21:16
Speaker 1: I don't think my heart could take it. I don't
21:18
Speaker 1: think my heart could take it. That'd just be. That's
21:21
Speaker 1: just stressful, man, that's just stressful.
21:23
Speaker 2: This is the game of This is the game of
21:25
Speaker 2: the week. Man. This is it.
21:26
Speaker 1: Don't you think it is? I'm not that there's some
21:28
Speaker 1: bias with us. I'm sure a little bit. But like
21:31
Speaker 1: it is, though, isn't it. It's you look at that
21:34
Speaker 1: schedule of the playoff games and you're thinking, right, what's
21:37
Speaker 1: the most fun game? What's the game that I want
21:40
Speaker 1: to watch? Yeah, it's Jacks Bills.
21:42
Speaker 2: This is it, man, this is it.
21:43
Speaker 3: There's this is a legacy game, not only for certain
21:48
Speaker 3: individual players, but as fans. We're going to talk about
21:52
Speaker 3: this game. We're going to talk about this year, We're
21:53
Speaker 3: going to talk about this moment. It all matters. That's
21:56
Speaker 3: why it's so fun to be a fan. Like the
21:59
Speaker 3: Emotional Roller coaster you're on. Where else can you get
22:03
Speaker 3: it where it's this safe and it's great, it's fun.
22:08
Speaker 3: We feel it, We live it with the players. I
22:10
Speaker 3: mean the entire week we're anticipating this matchup. It means
22:15
Speaker 3: so much. And that's what's wonderful about this game. In
22:19
Speaker 3: a world where people have so many things dividing them,
22:24
Speaker 3: so many different opinions, it's amazing what this game can
22:28
Speaker 3: do and how it can bring you together for common good.
22:31
Speaker 3: That's why sports is so important. That's why being a
22:33
Speaker 3: fan is so important. That's why us talking about this
22:36
Speaker 3: is so invigorating. And I think that we feel it,
22:41
Speaker 3: the organizations feel it, the players feel it. And let
22:46
Speaker 3: me tell you something about playoff football and everybody let
22:50
Speaker 3: me lie, I'm taking my glasses off. Let me tell
22:52
Speaker 3: you something. The intensity goes to here. It's different. Even
23:02
Speaker 3: as loud, it's aggressive in the stadium. On the field,
23:06
Speaker 3: it is fast. It is last play. Everything is your
23:10
Speaker 3: last play because it could be and you're playing like that.
23:13
Speaker 3: There is no tomorrow, there is no hey, we'll save this.
23:18
Speaker 3: You leave nothing on the field, and that's what makes
23:22
Speaker 3: it so special. The tournament is unique and I love.
23:26
Speaker 1: It and you should too, I do. I mean, that's
23:29
Speaker 1: a perfect way. That's a perfect way to finish your

23:35
Speaker 1: want to talk.
23:36
Speaker 2: Hey.
23:36
Speaker 3: I want to shout out to the people, the higher
23:39
Speaker 3: powers that allowed me to be on this, because I
23:41
Speaker 3: think I've enjoyed this more than they've enjoyed me being
23:43
Speaker 3: on this.
23:43
Speaker 2: This is fun, this is exciting. I look forward to
23:46
Speaker 2: this each and every week.
23:47
Speaker 3: Truthfully, I am on this ride and I never thought
23:50
Speaker 3: it would happen like this. I am such a fan
23:53
Speaker 3: of you know, obviously, I'm a fan of the teams
23:55
Speaker 3: I play.
23:56
Speaker 2: For, but I'm a fan of players for Jacksonville. Like
23:58
Speaker 2: I am. I am following players and that is so cool,
24:02
Speaker 2: so fun, so unique. My time is up.
24:05
Speaker 1: Well, your time is up for this week. Maybe, but
24:07
Speaker 1: let's just hope that we've got several more weeks of this, Jay,
24:10
Speaker 1: But let's just hope. Let's just do it. We'll see
24:13
Speaker 1: you next week regardless, Jay Bell, I love it. Okay,
24:16
Speaker 1: watch party news coming up. But first, Greg Newsom, all right,
24:19
Speaker 1: let's welcome Greg Newsom to Tiltalk. How's it going, Greg? Hey?
24:22
Speaker 5: You doing doing good? Just finish their day of practice.
24:26
Speaker 1: House practice at the moment. I mean, look, it must be.
24:29
Speaker 1: It must be a lot of a lot of excitement
24:32
Speaker 1: to the weekend.
24:33
Speaker 5: No, yeah, for sure. Practice has been going well.
24:36
Speaker 4: We kind of just been continuing our same schedule that
24:38
Speaker 4: got us on this one streak, so we're keeping everything
24:41
Speaker 4: pretty much consistent.
24:42
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering if you've got any like differing not
24:45
Speaker 1: differing emotions this week, but if you can just feel it,
24:48
Speaker 1: like maybe within the camp or even within yourself, you
24:50
Speaker 1: feel it is a lot of anticipation, a lot of excitement.
24:54
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. This is my second time going to
24:56
Speaker 4: the playoffs. The first time I went didn't go the
24:59
Speaker 4: way that I'll wanted. I didn't play my best, I
25:01
Speaker 4: don't think so, So I'm definitely super excited to go,
25:06
Speaker 4: especially play at home in front of our fans.
25:08
Speaker 5: So I'm super excited for this one.
25:09
Speaker 1: Well, let's just touch on that for a second, because
25:11
Speaker 1: you know, it is the Buffalo Bills this weekend in
25:13
Speaker 1: the playoffs. It is going to be and he's proven
25:16
Speaker 1: to be of the last few home games, I think,
25:18
Speaker 1: but this particular game, it's going to be a wild atmosphere,
25:21
Speaker 1: isn't it.
25:21
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it's going to be crazy.
25:24
Speaker 4: We're going to sell it out already know our fans
25:25
Speaker 4: are going to be there, They're going to be loud.
25:27
Speaker 4: So I'm super excited to get everybody in there and
25:31
Speaker 4: get us, get us our first win.
25:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, first, first of many, first of many in the playoffs.
25:37
Speaker 1: I've heard that Eric Murray and Jordan Lewis have been
25:40
Speaker 1: doing these special defensive back meetings twice a week. I
25:43
Speaker 1: want to ask about that. I wanted to know how
25:45
Speaker 1: much they've made a difference to the on field display,
25:48
Speaker 1: you know, for the secondary.
25:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they've made a huge difference. We started this.
25:53
Speaker 4: I think as soon as we start getting on that
25:55
Speaker 4: winning streak. We started meeting you know, every single day
25:58
Speaker 4: pretty much after just going over you know, first and
26:01
Speaker 4: second down, third down, red zone, And I think our
26:05
Speaker 4: play has elevated because of that. We're we're starting to
26:08
Speaker 4: see a lot more things out there. We're playing with
26:10
Speaker 4: a lot more anticipation. So shout out those guys. They
26:13
Speaker 4: definitely have been helping us out there.
26:16
Speaker 1: Do you reckon? They've got a future in coaching. All
26:18
Speaker 1: the sounds of things, you know, good.
26:19
Speaker 5: Teacher for sure, for sure, for sure.
26:23
Speaker 1: Now look for you you came to Jacksonville, didn't you
26:25
Speaker 1: from Cleveland mid season? How easy is it for you
26:30
Speaker 1: or how easy was it from going from one defensive
26:33
Speaker 1: system to another?
26:35
Speaker 5: Oh, it was super challenging.
26:37
Speaker 4: That was probably one of the most challenging things that
26:40
Speaker 4: you know, I had to do in my career, going
26:42
Speaker 4: from a straight man based scheme to a lot more
26:46
Speaker 4: communication here, Like you've got to be able to communicate
26:48
Speaker 4: at a very elite level. We play a lot of
26:51
Speaker 4: different things, So it was definitely challenging. My first few
26:54
Speaker 4: games I would say weren't my best, but that was
26:57
Speaker 4: also just trying to get comfortable.
26:59
Speaker 5: Knowing where guys are going to be, knowing my job.
27:01
Speaker 4: But you know, the last few weeks, I feel like
27:04
Speaker 4: I've been playing my best football and I feel a
27:07
Speaker 4: lot more comfortable in this game.
27:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to ask, how comfortable you feel?
27:10
Speaker 1: Do you feel confident in this scheme?
27:12
Speaker 2: Now? Oh?
27:13
Speaker 5: For sure?
27:14
Speaker 4: I feel like now I know exactly where I'm supposed
27:17
Speaker 4: to be, knowing where the other guys are supposed to be,
27:20
Speaker 4: and now I can just go out there and just
27:21
Speaker 4: play without having to think what's my job on this play? Like,
27:25
Speaker 4: now I know my job on every single call. So
27:27
Speaker 4: now I can go out there and just let my
27:29
Speaker 4: skill show.
27:30
Speaker 1: I just want to just go quickly back to the
27:32
Speaker 1: to the Titans win. Well, not actually the game itself,
27:35
Speaker 1: but particularly what happened in the locker room after. You know,
27:37
Speaker 1: Trevor wearing those those custom diamond grills. Now they were
27:42
Speaker 1: I've read they were bought by Jaggs players. How did
27:46
Speaker 1: that come about?
27:48
Speaker 2: Oh?
27:48
Speaker 5: I had no idea after I just seen Jari and Jones.
27:52
Speaker 4: He had a box and he showed me and so
27:56
Speaker 4: obviously the meme was Trevor had they used AI to
27:59
Speaker 4: do it? So I don't know how they got his
28:02
Speaker 4: teeth size and everything. Maybe his wife helped out with
28:04
Speaker 4: that or the training room, but it was super cool,
28:08
Speaker 4: like we got his back fully. You know, people had
28:11
Speaker 4: a lot to say about him before this season started,
28:13
Speaker 4: and now in my opinion, I mean I have a
28:16
Speaker 4: little bias, but he's the MVP of the league right now.
28:19
Speaker 4: From the last whatever amount of weeks, he's been playing
28:22
Speaker 4: the best out of any quarterback in the NFL, so
28:24
Speaker 4: we're fully behind him.
28:26
Speaker 5: I mean, that was super cool to see him embrace
28:28
Speaker 5: that as well.
28:29
Speaker 1: It's got it sounds like it seems like he's got
28:31
Speaker 1: a good sense of humor. He brings a good vibe
28:33
Speaker 1: to the locker room as well.
28:35
Speaker 5: Not for sure.
28:35
Speaker 4: I think that's the coolest part, Like when you got
28:37
Speaker 4: a quarterback that also you know, it's fun and you know,
28:41
Speaker 4: one of the guys like that's a super cool thing
28:43
Speaker 4: to be a part of.
28:45
Speaker 1: I want to know how you're feeling about Jacksonville as
28:48
Speaker 1: a whole lot as a place too. You know, obviously
28:50
Speaker 1: you were in Cleveland for so long, so to say
28:53
Speaker 1: the different kind of spots.
28:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, completely different. But you know, I've been kind of
28:58
Speaker 4: just just learned. And I mean the first pretty much
29:02
Speaker 4: two months, I was kind of just just trying to
29:04
Speaker 4: make sure I got myself together on the field, you know,
29:06
Speaker 4: so I didn't really do too much explore too much.
29:09
Speaker 5: But the last few weeks.
29:11
Speaker 4: I've been able to get out, go to you know,
29:13
Speaker 4: get some food spots and things like that.
29:15
Speaker 5: So I'm enjoying it.
29:16
Speaker 4: I mean, it's still seventy some degrees right now in January,
29:20
Speaker 4: so I can't complain.
29:22
Speaker 5: So it's been amazing.
29:23
Speaker 1: It's snowing in London right now, just you know, Yeah,
29:27
Speaker 1: thanks for mentioning that. Appreciate that. Let's let's talk pretty
29:31
Speaker 1: briefly about the coaches as well in Jackson. Obviously, you
29:36
Speaker 1: know you came in mid season. Let's say let's talk
29:38
Speaker 1: about coach Cohen for a second, because I want to
29:40
Speaker 1: know what your first impressions of him when you when
29:43
Speaker 1: you got to the team.
29:45
Speaker 5: Yeah, players, coach.
29:46
Speaker 4: I think that's the first thing that I realized, like,
29:49
Speaker 4: he's a guy. As soon as I came in, he
29:51
Speaker 4: was like, be yourself. We don't want you to be
29:53
Speaker 4: anybody else. We want you to do exactly what you've
29:55
Speaker 4: been doing. Show your personality. So I feel like he's
29:58
Speaker 4: a guy that just allowed guy to be unique, allow
30:01
Speaker 4: guys to beat themselves and express themselves. So that was
30:04
Speaker 4: kind of the first thing that I got from him.
30:05
Speaker 4: And he's been amazing this entire time, and he's he's
30:09
Speaker 4: definitely a great coach.
30:10
Speaker 1: You mentioned Trevor MVP coach. Cohen Coach of the Year.
30:19
Speaker 5: For you know, for our record to change.
30:21
Speaker 4: Literally if you just switched the numbers over, that's what
30:25
Speaker 4: the record was last year to now. And I think
30:28
Speaker 4: it's been tremendous what he's what he's done. I mean,
30:31
Speaker 4: we had what technically the third pick of the draft
30:34
Speaker 4: for a team out of the third pick of the draft,
30:36
Speaker 4: and to now be hosting a playoff game that same season, Like,
30:40
Speaker 4: that's remarkable.
30:41
Speaker 5: So I definitely think he deserves the Coach of the Year.
30:45
Speaker 1: You actually are, bizarrely, I can't. There must be somebody else,
30:48
Speaker 1: but I can't think of anybody else. You. You have
30:50
Speaker 1: the You must be one of the very few people
30:54
Speaker 1: as well to play in London twice for two for teams,
31:00
Speaker 1: and I believe either two weeks or within three weeks.
31:06
Speaker 1: I mean you felt the love I suppose from a
31:07
Speaker 1: British crowd twice over.
31:10
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it was. It was amazing.
31:12
Speaker 4: So my sister fiance is from London, so it was
31:16
Speaker 4: actually pretty cool.
31:18
Speaker 2: You know.
31:18
Speaker 4: The first time we were there for a little I
31:20
Speaker 4: was like, you know what, I'm not shopping or anything.
31:22
Speaker 4: But then when I came back the second time, I
31:24
Speaker 4: was like, I guess this is just what I'm supposed
31:27
Speaker 4: to be.
31:27
Speaker 2: But it was it was.
31:28
Speaker 5: Super fun, Like I had a great time in London.
31:31
Speaker 5: It was amazing.
31:32
Speaker 4: I hope to go back when I don't have to
31:34
Speaker 4: play a football game. But I thought London was amazing.
31:38
Speaker 1: He stayed in the same location as well. So I
31:40
Speaker 1: mean you literally, I mean I hope I had that
31:41
Speaker 1: same hotel room for you. Both times.
31:43
Speaker 4: I stayed in the same place. When I got a massage,
31:47
Speaker 4: the lady literally looked at me, she was like, hey,
31:49
Speaker 4: I was just talking to I was like, yeah, that
31:51
Speaker 4: was me. The people at the place knew exactly what.
31:53
Speaker 5: So it was funny. It was actually really funny.
31:56
Speaker 1: That's funny. That's funny. Have you did you say was
31:59
Speaker 1: your sister this fiance? You said it from London? Well,
32:02
Speaker 1: now I'm sure, Oh, okay, so your brother in law,
32:05
Speaker 1: your brother in law, my brother in law. So as
32:08
Speaker 1: does he talk about a lot about the UK? If
32:10
Speaker 1: you you know, if you do you ask him any
32:11
Speaker 1: questions at all or not.
32:14
Speaker 5: Didn't ask him too much.
32:15
Speaker 4: But when I got out there, he taught me some
32:17
Speaker 4: of the little slang. I kind of forgot it a
32:19
Speaker 4: little bit now. But his family is from ascot so
32:24
Speaker 4: I came out his mom and dad.
32:25
Speaker 5: Obviously it was such a quick turnaround.
32:27
Speaker 4: My family couldn't be out there, so his mom and
32:29
Speaker 4: dad came to the game again for me, so I
32:31
Speaker 4: had some family out.
32:32
Speaker 5: There, all right.
32:34
Speaker 1: Last question, Greg, I've asked a load of different Jacks
32:37
Speaker 1: players this so far this season, I've got a variety
32:39
Speaker 1: of different answers. Let's see how this one goes. What
32:41
Speaker 1: is one thing that people don't necessarily know about Greg Newsom?
32:47
Speaker 4: Yeah, the one thing, Oh, that's a great question. Actually,
32:50
Speaker 4: the one thing that people do not know about me,
32:54
Speaker 4: I probably will say just how selfless I am. I've
32:58
Speaker 4: always put the team first and every you know, I
33:01
Speaker 4: played through a lot of stuff that people don't know about.
33:03
Speaker 4: I don't complain, and yeah, I'm just an ultimate team
33:07
Speaker 4: team player, Like whatever the team needs me to do,
33:10
Speaker 4: that's my main goal is just to try to help
33:12
Speaker 4: us win. So I would probably say that the one
33:15
Speaker 4: thing people don't know is like, I'm extremely loyal to
33:19
Speaker 4: my teammates and I'm a selfless teammate.
33:21
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, Greg, Go get the go, get
33:23
