Transcript
- 0:09Speaker 1: And welcome to a very special bonus episode of Teal Talk,
- 0:14Speaker 1: the official Jacksonville Jaguars podcast for the UK and Ireland,
- 0:17Speaker 1: presented by Gallagher. This is nice, isn't it If you
- 0:20Speaker 1: haven't listened to the one from the other day or
- 0:23Speaker 1: we were at Greenwood Pub in Victoria watching the game
- 0:26Speaker 1: against the Jets unfold. But in this particular episode, well,
- 0:31Speaker 1: we'll catch up with Jason Bell, we'll look toward the
- 0:33Speaker 1: Denver game in the weekend. But first I'm joined by
- 0:36Speaker 1: a very special guest, someone who had a well, let's
- 0:39Speaker 1: just say, a very good game at the weekend. All right,
- 0:43Speaker 1: welcome Travis E. J Junior to tell the talk. How's
- 0:45Speaker 1: it going, man?
- 0:47Speaker 2: How's one agree? Man? Just as you got no more practice?
- 0:49Speaker 2: Are fulling?
- 0:50Speaker 3: Dood?
- 0:50Speaker 1: Well, look, let's get to the big question. First of all,
- 0:54Speaker 1: ten and four. How does that sound to you?
- 0:56Speaker 2: That sounds amazing, man, This sounds amazing. But I'm happy
- 0:59Speaker 2: about thinking about the ones that we didn't capitalize on,
- 1:02Speaker 2: but just grateful with the opportunities to know have ten wins.
- 1:06Speaker 2: This is my first time in the league having ten wins,
- 1:08Speaker 2: so man, just very grateful and thank you for that.
- 1:11Speaker 1: But it's not just having ten wins, is it. It's
- 1:12Speaker 1: having ten wins with games to spare. But I suppose
- 1:15Speaker 1: it's an interesting one in some ways because ten and
- 1:19Speaker 1: four it's a good record so far, but you've got
- 1:22Speaker 1: a lot still to do. I'm sure that's what the
- 1:24Speaker 1: whole team is thinking about right now.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Most definitely. I mean, I mean, like like you said, man,
- 1:29Speaker 2: we turn it for it, but we shouldn't have a
- 1:32Speaker 2: pleasant of games ahead of us. We should got to
- 1:34Speaker 2: like it and just really liking and just being in
- 1:37Speaker 2: a moment for those games. Want to be at our
- 1:39Speaker 2: best for those games. So we really can't worry about
- 1:40Speaker 2: whip pass. We should how to just keep finding ways
- 1:43Speaker 2: to get better so we be at our best.
- 1:45Speaker 1: So twelve touchdowns rushing and receiving so far this season,
- 1:49Speaker 1: just one more until you beat what you did back
- 1:51Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three.
- 1:53Speaker 4: How much are you thinking about that right now?
- 1:56Speaker 2: Honestly, you don't think about that at all, Just trying
- 1:58Speaker 2: to go out there and win games. I feel like
- 2:00Speaker 2: whenever you go out there and you focused on winning
- 2:02Speaker 2: the game, good results come with that. So we just
- 2:04Speaker 2: got to keep going out there playing for each other,
- 2:06Speaker 2: and good things are going to happen for us.
- 2:08Speaker 1: We'll speak talking about, you know, playing for each other
- 2:11Speaker 1: as well. Let's talk briefly about the the AFC Offensive
- 2:16Speaker 1: Player of the Week, Trevor Lawrence. And now you said
- 2:19Speaker 1: after the Jets game that you've never seen him play
- 2:22Speaker 1: like this before. Of course you play together at college
- 2:25Speaker 1: as well. What can you tell me about Trevor Lawrence
- 2:27Speaker 1: the person and how he's changed throughout the years that
- 2:29Speaker 1: you've known him.
- 2:31Speaker 2: I would say the person, he hasn't changed. Man, He's
- 2:34Speaker 2: still down the earth, He's still this. Is this a
- 2:37Speaker 2: great guy? I mean, I feel like you can see
- 2:39Speaker 2: it on and off the field. He's always been himself.
- 2:42Speaker 2: He never let the outside circumstances change him. And I
- 2:45Speaker 2: feel like that's why you're kind of seen this growth
- 2:46Speaker 2: and maturity on the field, because he never waved and
- 2:49Speaker 2: never got with from himself.
- 2:51Speaker 1: But I mean it must be kind of, you know,
- 2:53Speaker 1: great for you because you know, you not only see
- 2:56Speaker 1: a teammate playing well, but someone that you've known for so.
- 3:00Speaker 4: Long, so it's like an old friend performing well.
- 3:02Speaker 1: I mean, is there a part of you that feels
- 3:03Speaker 1: almost proud when you see him doing good?
- 3:07Speaker 2: Most definitely? I mean because I mean from both standpoints,
- 3:10Speaker 2: especially because of our friendship, but ultimately because like it
- 3:13Speaker 2: also impasts a sense about our team. You know, whenever
- 3:16Speaker 2: he's doing great, we out there playing well. So you
- 3:18Speaker 2: go hand in hand and just great for that that
- 3:21Speaker 2: I've got the chance to build alongside him and his journey.
- 3:25Speaker 1: Do you feel like it means more in a way
- 3:26Speaker 1: knowing that you're you know, you have this connection with
- 3:29Speaker 1: him and you've you've been in his teammate for so long.
- 3:32Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, most definitely. I feel like just just
- 3:35Speaker 2: the human element of it, just you're all creating that
- 3:37Speaker 2: buying and that buying just growing.
- 3:39Speaker 3: Uh.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Obviously, I want to see him do well, be great
- 3:42Speaker 2: weekend and week out, but the NFL is such a
- 3:44Speaker 2: tough week. But I feel like he's just shown tremendous
- 3:46Speaker 2: growth throughout this season, and I'm just decided for his
- 3:49Speaker 2: journey knowing that this is just the beginning.
- 3:51Speaker 4: What's been your favorite part of the season so far?
- 3:55Speaker 2: My favorite part of the season. I just I mean,
- 3:58Speaker 2: I say, the practices, the journey, just the the day
- 4:00Speaker 2: is leading up to Sunday, just being in the locker
- 4:03Speaker 2: room with the fellas, the guys, just fellowship and just
- 4:05Speaker 2: creating their band off the field, because the more I
- 4:10Speaker 2: can't newly we get off the field, I think you
- 4:11Speaker 2: just translate on the field and makes that game so
- 4:13Speaker 2: much better.
- 4:14Speaker 1: You know, you mentioned the locker room there as well.
- 4:16Speaker 1: One thing that's been really fun to watch over the
- 4:18Speaker 1: last few weeks is a coach Cohen after the win
- 4:21Speaker 1: going into the locker room. It almost feels like it's
- 4:24Speaker 1: like a routine now every week it just seems like
- 4:26Speaker 1: the locker room is absolutely you know, on fire.
- 4:30Speaker 2: You're not for sure, I mean, Coach Coin coming in
- 4:32Speaker 2: there after the win. Man, it's on the great News.
- 4:34Speaker 2: You know, we just put someone's work in Monday through
- 4:38Speaker 2: Saturday for those moments, and it's just such a such
- 4:41Speaker 2: a little small, a small moment is captured of what
- 4:44Speaker 2: we actually got to do to get ready in order
- 4:46Speaker 2: for that moment. It's grateful when we can take innyviews
- 4:49Speaker 2: for granted, so we have to keep stacking wins.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Also, I just want to point out that I said
- 4:53Speaker 1: what was your favorite moment of the year, and you
- 4:55Speaker 1: didn't say, you know, getting to go to the UK again.
- 4:57Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know whether I should feel personally offended.
- 5:01Speaker 2: No, no, No, No, not at all, not at all.
- 5:04Speaker 2: It's just I guess it wasn't memorable because we didn't
- 5:07Speaker 2: have one of those lack of room visits after the game.
- 5:09Speaker 2: So I try to forget about that one.
- 5:12Speaker 1: That's a good comeback, all right, I'll let you off. Look,
- 5:14Speaker 1: Denver Broncos up next number one seed in the AFC.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Talk to me about what the atmosphere is like. Now,
- 5:20Speaker 1: how are you viewing this game going into it?
- 5:23Speaker 2: It's the biggest game because it's the next one. Honestly,
- 5:26Speaker 2: we just got to go out there and take care
- 5:27Speaker 2: of our business. We've got to go out there and
- 5:29Speaker 2: execute and just understand that we can't beat ourselves. We
- 5:33Speaker 2: have to go out there, play fast, physical, and just
- 5:35Speaker 2: play our brand of football and go out there, play
- 5:37Speaker 2: for sixty minutes and we'll liver with the result.
- 5:41Speaker 1: You know, I saw the coach Cohen say that that
- 5:43Speaker 1: he doesn't think that the Jags are getting the respect
- 5:47Speaker 1: they deserve.
- 5:47Speaker 4: I heard him say this, you know, just over a
- 5:49Speaker 4: week ago.
- 5:51Speaker 1: I don't know how much that that sort of plays
- 5:53Speaker 1: on your mind as you're a player, but I wonder
- 5:55Speaker 1: if that will change if the Jags get a victory
- 5:59Speaker 1: this weekkend.
- 6:02Speaker 2: I mean we try have to worry about the things
- 6:04Speaker 2: we can't control. We can't control with the media say
- 6:07Speaker 2: or does if they give you respect or now, we've
- 6:09Speaker 2: got to continue to go out there each and every
- 6:11Speaker 2: week and earn in respect. I feel like respect is
- 6:13Speaker 2: earned when we step on that field in between the lines,
- 6:16Speaker 2: in between the whistles. And as long as we continue
- 6:18Speaker 2: to just continue to just take the pen and write
- 6:20Speaker 2: our own story. Uh, we'll live with We'll live with
- 6:23Speaker 2: the world has to say.
- 6:24Speaker 3: Men.
- 6:24Speaker 2: At the end of the day, it's about the guys
- 6:26Speaker 2: in the locker room and we really don't pay too
- 6:28Speaker 2: much about what the outside work has to say.
- 6:31Speaker 1: Last time that we spent we spent last season as well,
- 6:34Speaker 1: and you declared that you'll love for something very British
- 6:38Speaker 1: and something that you really love when you come over
- 6:40Speaker 1: here to the UK. Now before I before I tell
- 6:43Speaker 1: you reminds you what it was, can you think about
- 6:45Speaker 1: what that could possibly be?
- 6:47Speaker 2: No, it's definitely the chips. Yes, you ain't gotta remind.
- 6:53Speaker 4: Me from cocktail crisps.
- 6:57Speaker 2: Yeah, that's definitely the top three chips in my life.
- 7:01Speaker 4: Did you manage to have any when you were over here? Again,
- 7:04Speaker 4: so I did.
- 7:05Speaker 2: I didn't have any the time I was there. So
- 7:08Speaker 2: I feel like, man from the game to me not
- 7:11Speaker 2: having the chips that were just my next visit. I
- 7:14Speaker 2: need the chips that we got to have a dub
- 7:15Speaker 2: and it'd be a whole bit of experience.
- 7:17Speaker 1: That's it, Travis, Thanks so much, man, and appreciating good
- 7:20Speaker 1: luck this weekend.
- 7:21Speaker 2: For sure, Thank you so much. Appreciate che.
- 7:24Speaker 1: All Right, welcome the UK's favorite NFL pundit, Jason Bell
- 7:29Speaker 1: to Tiltalk.
- 7:30Speaker 4: How's it going, j Bell?
- 7:31Speaker 5: I mean, I'm just celebrating. I am just feeling good
- 7:34Speaker 5: about my life right now. My friendships and those people
- 7:38Speaker 5: that are gifted at throwing the ball.
- 7:39Speaker 3: That's all. That's all I'm here to talk about. You know.
- 7:43Speaker 1: Do you know what's funny is that, you know, we'll
- 7:44Speaker 1: speak about the game in a little bit. And we're
- 7:46Speaker 1: watching and we're watching the Jags Jets game the other
- 7:51Speaker 1: day and I'm seeing Trevor Lawrence just you know, go wild.
- 7:54Speaker 1: I'm thinking Jay Bell is having a whale at the
- 7:55Speaker 1: time right now. His best friend is doing excellent.
- 8:00Speaker 5: I like when a plan comes together, and I also,
- 8:04Speaker 5: I mean, I'm a big believer in watching people succeed,
- 8:09Speaker 5: Like I enjoy seeing people climb up the mountain and
- 8:13Speaker 5: the obstacles they have to overcome. And when you look
- 8:16Speaker 5: at Trevor in his career, I mean, he was the
- 8:19Speaker 5: golden child. Everything was supposed to work out. But in
- 8:22Speaker 5: the pros he's had so much adversity, but he just
- 8:26Speaker 5: keeps chipping away. So when he has success, I really,
- 8:29Speaker 5: I seriously am a huge cheerleader for him in his career. Man,
- 8:33Speaker 5: I just I really enjoy watching him do what he's doing.
- 8:36Speaker 3: Now.
- 8:37Speaker 1: Now, look, obviously you're on the sky every single week
- 8:40Speaker 1: covering the whole of the NFL.
- 8:43Speaker 4: I'll tell you what a week it was this week.
- 8:46Speaker 4: In fact, what season it's been.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Really well, we look at maybe in August we would
- 8:50Speaker 1: anticipate the Chiefs being up there, the Ravens being up there,
- 8:53Speaker 1: the Bills being up there. I mean the Bills are
- 8:55Speaker 1: still to an extent, but you know, it's been a
- 8:58Speaker 1: wild in particular. I think AFC Jags amongst that.
- 9:03Speaker 3: I think it's been fantastic.
- 9:06Speaker 5: I mean every year you come into the season and
- 9:08Speaker 5: you start crowning champions. Most of the time I look
- 9:11Speaker 5: at who are the quarterbacks? You know, what does the
- 9:13Speaker 5: roster the schedule look like. But yeah, you're saying, okay,
- 9:17Speaker 5: these are the four teams, and then you got to
- 9:19Speaker 5: start playing the games. And I think, what's if you're
- 9:22Speaker 5: in the AFC, which you have to like, and what
- 9:24Speaker 5: the conversations are probably being had with the coaching staffs
- 9:28Speaker 5: because they're not saying this to the players.
- 9:30Speaker 3: They're like, go out and play the games.
- 9:32Speaker 5: Like their pathway to the super Bowl has changed because
- 9:36Speaker 5: you have three quarterbacks in the AFC, two of them
- 9:40Speaker 5: might not are not going to be in the playoffs,
- 9:42Speaker 5: and one, Lamar Jackson, still has a chance. But you know,
- 9:45Speaker 5: so you don't have Patrick Mahomes who got hurt. Hope
- 9:48Speaker 5: he bounces back well, and then Joe Burrow's out. I mean,
- 9:51Speaker 5: what are you talking about right now? Like these are
- 9:54Speaker 5: your threats. So if you're the Buffalo Bills, you're saying,
- 9:56Speaker 5: oh my gosh, this is our time.
- 9:58Speaker 3: We have no excuses.
- 9:59Speaker 5: And everybody else that's come and is playing in the
- 10:03Speaker 5: AFC right now, I was thinking, man, it's why over
- 10:05Speaker 5: for us to get to the super Bowl. So this
- 10:07Speaker 5: is going to be a great year, fantastic. That's why
- 10:10Speaker 5: I love the NFL. You don't know what's going to
- 10:12Speaker 5: happen year to year.
- 10:13Speaker 1: And I think this is why twenty twenty five has
- 10:16Speaker 1: been so good, and when we look forward to the
- 10:18Speaker 1: Super Bowl in a few months time as well, because
- 10:21Speaker 1: if you take a step back, you kind of realize that, well, actually,
- 10:27Speaker 1: over even the last few decades, it's a crazy sentence, really,
- 10:31Speaker 1: but the last few decades has been dominated. The AFC
- 10:35Speaker 1: contender in the Super Bowl has been dominated by a
- 10:37Speaker 1: mister Patrick Mahomes, by a mister Tom Brady, and even
- 10:41Speaker 1: as well, I suppose, you know, Peyton Manning in the
- 10:43Speaker 1: mix as well, I suppose, And now it feels like
- 10:47Speaker 1: there's going to be a berserker team in the AFC,
- 10:49Speaker 1: or there's a real chance for there to be one.
- 10:51Speaker 5: The conversation was always the AFC has the quarterbacks, the
- 10:54Speaker 5: NFC has the teams. You know, that was always kind
- 10:58Speaker 5: of the thing. You know, man, you got to play
- 11:00Speaker 5: against this quarterback, you got to play against the best team.
- 11:03Speaker 5: And now the AFC got some teams. Man then got
- 11:06Speaker 5: some teams. There's some balance.
- 11:09Speaker 3: So it's the.
- 11:10Speaker 5: Narrative is shifted because when I look at the NFC,
- 11:13Speaker 5: I'm looking at you know, Matthew Stafford over there, and
- 11:15Speaker 5: I'm thinking quarterback and it's situations like that. But hey,
- 11:20Speaker 5: if one of these guys gets hot in the playoffs
- 11:22Speaker 5: and finds a way, one of these quarterbacks, then we
- 11:25Speaker 5: start talking about the AFC and the new batch of quarterbacks.
- 11:27Speaker 5: What I like to see is young guys playing well
- 11:30Speaker 5: because this game, the NFL, is based on the quarterback
- 11:34Speaker 5: position and the success they have.
- 11:35Speaker 3: That's just the way it's set up. That's the rules.
- 11:38Speaker 5: So when you have better quarterback play, you have better
- 11:40Speaker 5: play altogether.
- 11:42Speaker 3: So this is fantastic.
- 11:43Speaker 5: And that's what we're seeing from Jacksonville right now, which
- 11:45Speaker 5: is super cool.
- 11:46Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to say, hopefully, hopefully a mister
- 11:49Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is really showing what he's all about, just
- 11:52Speaker 1: at the right time. Let's get into the five questions
- 11:54Speaker 1: at about the Jags winning over the New York Jets,
- 11:58Speaker 1: the beat down?
- 11:59Speaker 4: How was this won? Jaybell?
- 12:01Speaker 3: First of all, before we go into that, shout out
- 12:03Speaker 3: to my man Aaron Glenn.
- 12:04Speaker 5: I hated seeing this, but you know what, I'm going
- 12:08Speaker 5: for the Jags, so you know they had to roll
- 12:10Speaker 5: like that. Last week we were saying Trevor Lawrence was
- 12:14Speaker 5: almost the MVP. I mean this week he was the
- 12:18Speaker 5: way he has command of this offense. They have tweaked
- 12:22Speaker 5: things for him, They have set him up right. Liam
- 12:26Speaker 5: Cohen has built this infrastructure around his skill set, his strengths,
- 12:30Speaker 5: and I'm seeing a guy who's genuinely loving.
- 12:33Speaker 3: The game of the football. I think he always has.
- 12:36Speaker 5: It's tough out there, but I'm seeing somebody that is
- 12:39Speaker 5: embracing this challenge being on the field. And one thing
- 12:43Speaker 5: about him in college he was aggressive, man. He would
- 12:46Speaker 5: take he was attacking. He wants to attack. You have
- 12:51Speaker 5: to have the receivers, you have to have the setup
- 12:53Speaker 5: that makes him comfortable to do that. And that's what
- 12:55Speaker 5: we're seeing, Like this dude isn't fearful.
- 12:58Speaker 3: He is going to go after you. But how is
- 13:01Speaker 3: it set up? Is he comfortable?
- 13:03Speaker 5: Does he feel like, Man, if I don't make this
- 13:07Speaker 5: happen or something doesn't work out.
- 13:08Speaker 3: Am I gonna come to the sideline and my coach
- 13:10Speaker 3: gonna be looking at it? Be crazy? That's over with? Man?
- 13:13Speaker 3: It is These dudes are aligned and you are seeing it.
- 13:16Speaker 5: Trevor had the best game of his career, and last
- 13:18Speaker 5: week I thought was the best game in his career.
- 13:20Speaker 3: So look where we're headed, and.
- 13:22Speaker 1: I'm really want to quickly touch upon the use of
- 13:25Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence's legs. We have seen that work so effectively
- 13:28Speaker 1: in the last few weeks.
- 13:29Speaker 2: Haven't we.
- 13:30Speaker 3: He's been a great run.
- 13:31Speaker 5: I mean, one thing about him is his open field
- 13:34Speaker 5: running skills are superb.
- 13:36Speaker 3: What do I mean by that?
- 13:37Speaker 5: He's a long strider. Once he gets going, man, he
- 13:40Speaker 5: takes off. It's not a lot of wasted movement. And
- 13:43Speaker 5: he once again, this is what he did in college.
- 13:45Speaker 5: So absolutely, and you need that, especially almost down and
- 13:50Speaker 5: distances when things are covered up. When he takes off
- 13:53Speaker 5: like that, it puts the defensive coordinator in a mine.
- 13:56Speaker 3: What do I call? Do I allocate somebody to spy him? Now?
- 14:00Speaker 3: That takes somebody out of his own coverage. Oh my gosh.
- 14:03Speaker 5: He sees that and then he throws into that area.
- 14:05Speaker 5: So that gives him the ability to kind of dictate
- 14:09Speaker 5: what the defense is going to do and how they're
- 14:11Speaker 5: going to react to him.
- 14:12Speaker 1: I wonder if we're going to stay on the Trevor
- 14:14Speaker 1: Lawrence side of things. When I ask you this next question,
- 14:17Speaker 1: who deserves the game boy?
- 14:19Speaker 5: It was Trevor man I mean, I mean, I mean,
- 14:21Speaker 5: I gave it away like ten minutes ago.
- 14:23Speaker 3: Man, I can't even hold the water man, you.
- 14:25Speaker 5: Know what I'm saying, Like you're trying to be a
- 14:27Speaker 5: good host, You're trying to leave me in the right direction,
- 14:29Speaker 5: and I'm just spewing out because I'm just so happy
- 14:32Speaker 5: with the way this man is performing. Trevor Lawrence all day, Man,
- 14:36Speaker 5: shout out to my guy. Like I said, two weeks
- 14:38Speaker 5: in a row. He's building on greatness. And I'm telling you,
- 14:41Speaker 5: I bet he's going back to work like nothing ever happened.
- 14:44Speaker 5: He's praising his teammates and he's just trying to go
- 14:47Speaker 5: out there and work on whatever he needs to do
- 14:49Speaker 5: and fix for the next week.
- 14:51Speaker 4: Well, it was the turning point of the game.
- 14:54Speaker 5: I mean, I talked about the offensive line. I keep
- 14:56Speaker 5: it simple, man, You keep him clean, keep them clean.
- 14:59Speaker 5: You know, that was one of the things, one of
- 15:01Speaker 5: the issues, and I believe when you do that you
- 15:04Speaker 5: get that kind of result. It correlates, right, no sacks.
- 15:08Speaker 5: He's back there dicing people up. So offensive line never
- 15:12Speaker 5: really gets seen any attention until they do something wrong.
- 15:16Speaker 5: And that's they've done nothing wrong, so they get all
- 15:18Speaker 5: the attention from me. This was something that was key
- 15:23Speaker 5: to their success.
- 15:23Speaker 1: I believe looking ahead into this weekend, what are the
- 15:27Speaker 1: Jags areas of improvement?
- 15:30Speaker 5: So this week especially, man, you can't beat yourself. We
- 15:33Speaker 5: gotta chill out on penalties. I'm gonna say that every
- 15:36Speaker 5: week when I see him, they're still popping up.
- 15:39Speaker 3: Especially.
- 15:40Speaker 5: You do not want to have pre snap penalties things
- 15:42Speaker 5: you can control, because it's going to be hard, especially
- 15:44Speaker 5: in competitive games. And in reality, it's one of those
- 15:48Speaker 5: things where if I'm in there talking to my team,
- 15:51Speaker 5: I'm saying, hey, we got to clean these things up,
- 15:55Speaker 5: but I'm leaning so positive. I want you to have
- 15:58Speaker 5: so much confidence in your your self and who you
- 16:01Speaker 5: are and what you can do. I want you to
- 16:03Speaker 5: believe you can beat anybody. And I think that they
- 16:06Speaker 5: need to take that into this next game.
- 16:08Speaker 4: And how do the Jags beat Denba Oh man.
- 16:13Speaker 3: What's gonna be? So the running game is going to
- 16:17Speaker 3: be quite important.
- 16:18Speaker 5: You need to have You need to not only sustain drives,
- 16:23Speaker 5: but you gotta make sure you can't let this defensive
- 16:26Speaker 5: line and this defense attack Trevor Lawrence right, you need
- 16:31Speaker 5: to keep them off balance. So really keeping that rhythm
- 16:34Speaker 5: in the running game will be key. And then when
- 16:37Speaker 5: you have your opportunities, you gotta stay away from patricks
- 16:41Speaker 5: Utan and make sure you see I mean the way
- 16:44Speaker 5: Jacobe Myers is playing, man keep working that over the
- 16:47Speaker 5: meal over the middle with him. But I think that's
- 16:49Speaker 5: gonna be key. And on defense, man that turnovers. If
- 16:54Speaker 5: you can get those turnovers and they come in bunches
- 16:57Speaker 5: for you get that's going to be the key. If
- 17:01Speaker 5: I can just steal some possessions, I think that'll put
- 17:05Speaker 5: us in the win column.
- 17:06Speaker 1: And it's tough. Obviously, it's gonna be a tough game.
- 17:08Speaker 1: Number one seed in the AAFC. Of course, at Denver
- 17:09Speaker 1: Bronco's the defense you've been big on. I know, I
- 17:14Speaker 1: was kind of thinking, all right, well, I think there
- 17:16Speaker 1: might be some opportunity here because I'm not sure if
- 17:19Speaker 1: Denver's offense has really shown exactly what the defense has shown.
- 17:23Speaker 1: But then in the weekend, I mean, bo Nicks and
- 17:26Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos offense really each show what they were about.
- 17:29Speaker 3: Bo Nicks is a gamer man.
- 17:31Speaker 5: Bow Knicks is the kind of guy I mean, it
- 17:33Speaker 5: just seems like in a game he gets better and
- 17:37Speaker 5: you see that especially in the fourth quarter they call
- 17:40Speaker 5: the fourth quarter Knicks for all those reasons. You know,
- 17:42Speaker 5: he's being coached up hard, but he finds a way
- 17:46Speaker 5: to make it happen, and kind of like different from
- 17:49Speaker 5: Trevor because I think there was more bias about Bonnicks
- 17:56Speaker 5: when he came in the league. People kind of put
- 17:57Speaker 5: him in a category and they wanted to stick there.
- 18:00Speaker 5: But he's kind of shifting that narrative. So each week
- 18:02Speaker 5: he has to prove. So I think what's interesting with
- 18:04Speaker 5: both of these quarterbacks is I think they're guys that
- 18:08Speaker 5: the team loves them, has complete faith in them. The
- 18:12Speaker 5: outside noise is different. But it'll be interesting watching these
- 18:16Speaker 5: two duel and see who out plays each other. But
- 18:20Speaker 5: this is gonna be great because both of them. Everybody's
- 18:24Speaker 5: playing their best.
- 18:24Speaker 3: Football right now.
- 18:26Speaker 5: That's what's great about this game. Everybody is at their peak.
- 18:32Speaker 4: And I really think this game could really be a
- 18:36Speaker 4: statement for the Jags as well.
- 18:39Speaker 5: This could you know, coaching matters and this is going
- 18:44Speaker 5: to be interesting to see how Liam Cohen handles Sean
- 18:47Speaker 5: Payton and all this.
- 18:48Speaker 3: I mean, this is some great coaching mind.
- 18:51Speaker 5: Vance Joseph on the other side, their decordinator, like I
- 18:54Speaker 5: look at all these coaches and I think they're superb.
- 18:57Speaker 5: So we're going to see schematically how they adjust. That
- 19:00Speaker 5: is going to be something we're going to talk about
- 19:02Speaker 5: on Tuesday and say, look where we won. We had
- 19:05Speaker 5: success and things that shocked us, hopefully in a positive way.
- 19:11Speaker 1: Jags, according to NFL, don't come to know how they
- 19:13Speaker 1: work this out. I have no idea how they work
- 19:14Speaker 1: this out. Playoff probability ninety seven percent. Should we start
- 19:19Speaker 1: booking our playoff planes right now?
- 19:21Speaker 3: Then? I mean, if you want to be uh, if
- 19:23Speaker 3: you want to say cash, yeah, you know you don't
- 19:27Speaker 3: know where you're going.
- 19:30Speaker 1: Yeah, it's true, just a generic flight to the US,
- 19:33Speaker 1: please sir.
- 19:34Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean we need to start thinking that
- 19:37Speaker 3: they just need to play the next game, you know.
- 19:40Speaker 3: But as a fan, oh man, we got to live
- 19:42Speaker 3: in the future.
- 19:43Speaker 5: Man.
- 19:43Speaker 3: Of course, this is what it's about. Hope is what
- 19:45Speaker 3: drives this game.
- 19:47Speaker 4: But I want to get into the particular way.
- 19:49Speaker 1: Okay, to the predictions in a second, but I want
- 19:51Speaker 1: to know when you were a player j Bell and
- 19:53Speaker 1: you go on, you go to answer this, honestly, at
- 19:56Speaker 1: what point did you start thinking we're in the playoffs.
- 20:00Speaker 3: Now, man, my only year in the playoffs, it was
- 20:06Speaker 3: it was it was up to the last.
- 20:08Speaker 4: Game, man, So it's not quite the same that I remember.
- 20:11Speaker 5: We won six games in a row, so we were rolling,
- 20:14Speaker 5: so we knew we were going to be a playoff team.
- 20:16Speaker 5: But then it I think we lost one. It came
- 20:19Speaker 5: down to the last game. We were playing Washington at
- 20:22Speaker 5: at home. I got an interception. I got an interception.
- 20:27Speaker 5: That's the ball. Nice, we go down and score. That
- 20:30Speaker 5: gets us in the playoffs.
- 20:31Speaker 1: So j Bell's interception going in the playoffs, that's.
- 20:35Speaker 3: Good, Eli manny bam, bam, bam, touchdown. Jay Bell's at
- 20:38Speaker 3: the club with OC like, yeah.
- 20:41Speaker 4: Oh predictions.
- 20:43Speaker 1: I'm annoyed about this, to be honest with you, Jay Bell,
- 20:45Speaker 1: because so we all had kind of blowouts, right, So
- 20:50Speaker 1: I went for thirty one fourteen in the Jags game,
- 20:53Speaker 1: and to be clear, the final score was forty eight twenty.
- 20:55Speaker 1: So I went thirty one fourteen, you went twenty four ten.
- 21:00Speaker 1: I went twenty eight to three. But it was a
- 21:01Speaker 1: twenty eight point swing. Key was closest, which means we
- 21:05Speaker 1: all get a point, but he gets a bonus point.
- 21:08Speaker 1: This is the standings j Bell with thirty. You're looking good.
- 21:12Speaker 1: With three games left, Jay with eleven, Key with eleven.
- 21:16Speaker 4: He is caught up. He's caught up.
- 21:18Speaker 3: He takes some shots in the dark. Man. I got
- 21:20Speaker 3: to give him some love for that. He'll swing the bat.
- 21:23Speaker 3: He does. He's up to the plate. He's like, I
- 21:24Speaker 3: don't care what they put.
- 21:27Speaker 1: Well, look we'll go to the Broncos predictions. Key's prediction
- 21:31Speaker 1: is thirty one twenty four, so a whole touchdown win
- 21:36Speaker 1: for the Jacksonville Jankus against the Denver Broncos.
- 21:38Speaker 4: What are you saying, j Bell? The silence, the silence.
- 21:47Speaker 5: Man, I'm saying, I'm saying twenty I'm saying twenty one
- 22:00Speaker 5: fourteen two Jacksonville.
- 22:06Speaker 1: Okay, you know what, joy Bell, I was wondering whether
- 22:08Speaker 1: you're going to go Denver win because I know you'll,
- 22:10Speaker 1: you'll you're high on Denver.
- 22:12Speaker 3: I'm very high on Denver.
- 22:13Speaker 2: But I.
- 22:15Speaker 3: You know, the way the way Trevor's they're just getting better.
- 22:22Speaker 3: They're getting better.
- 22:24Speaker 5: And this is a statement when this is this is
- 22:27Speaker 5: like come on, like, like I said, if the defense,
- 22:30Speaker 5: just if they just forced those turnovers and steal possessions
- 22:35Speaker 5: and play really complementary football. This this can happen, man,
- 22:39Speaker 5: quarterback play, it's the key, and.
- 22:42Speaker 1: I'm going to go a real tight game twenty one
- 22:46Speaker 1: twenty one point win.
- 22:48Speaker 3: Yeah, I was thinking. I was thinking of that. I
- 22:50Speaker 3: was thinking get close to that too. I kind of
- 22:51Speaker 3: I like it as better than mine. But you got it.
- 22:53Speaker 4: You too late now, man, it's too late.
- 22:55Speaker 3: You did it. I like yours. Well, I'm all record
- 22:58Speaker 3: saying I like your.
- 23:00Speaker 4: You don't get a bonus point. You just like saying that.
- 23:01Speaker 3: You like.
- 23:04Speaker 1: Maybe next week if I win, You're like when I
- 23:07Speaker 1: did say that, Jay, there's like star.
- 23:14Speaker 4: All right, j Bell, We'll catch up in a week.
- 23:18Speaker 1: Then hopefully after the Jags get that win against the
- 23:22Speaker 1: Denver Broncos, have a good one man, you too, Man.
- 23:25Speaker 5: I can't lie. I'm stressed, but hopefully it'll be fun. Man,
