Transcript
- 0:00[SPEAKER_00]: Jacksonville, Jaguar's fans, welcome in to Duval, daily presented by Genjag.com.
- 0:03[SPEAKER_00]: I'm Jordan O'Luba, thanks so much for being here.
- 0:05[SPEAKER_00]: Wednesday, May 13th, and we do have schedule leaks.
- 0:09[SPEAKER_00]: The official schedule release will be tomorrow, May 14th, not before my birthday, excited for that nice little birthday present.
- 0:15[SPEAKER_00]: It always happens right around my birthday every year.
- 0:17[SPEAKER_00]: And the NFL, they got to make sure it is a year-round calendar, right?
- 0:21[SPEAKER_00]: Get people locked in.
- 0:24[SPEAKER_00]: On the NFL, throughout the calendar year for the most part, there will be a little bit of a dead period between OTAs, many camp, and then after many camp, mandatory mini camp that is until training camp.
- 0:36[SPEAKER_00]: There's a little bit of a quiet period, but you'll still get some free agency and different things going on.
- 0:40[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, schedule leaks for the Jack Wars.
- 0:42[SPEAKER_00]: We've got the two London games confirmed it looks like, and then we'll talk about kind of what else we're looking at with the schedule right now, and we will be previewing.
- 0:52[SPEAKER_00]: This schedule tomorrow will also probably because the release isn't till 8 p.m. the official release, so it'll be later at night.
- 1:01[SPEAKER_00]: So just like timeline wise, tomorrow will probably do a full
- 1:11[SPEAKER_00]: record prediction.
- 1:13[SPEAKER_00]: Before the schedule comes out, we'll talk a little bit more about the superpowers for the Jaguars.
- 1:18[SPEAKER_00]: We've been talking about that this week.
- 1:20[SPEAKER_00]: We talked about the run defense.
- 1:23[SPEAKER_00]: We talked about the 11 personnel passing offense.
- 1:26[SPEAKER_00]: Both of those things were absolutely unbelievable for the Jaguars last year, especially down the stretch.
- 1:32[SPEAKER_00]: And then there's one more area that I think you can look at it and certainly call a super power right now So we'll get into that over the next couple of days as well.
- 1:41[SPEAKER_00]: Probably later today, but schedule league time Right, we've got the London opponent's both of those Jack Wars games in London this year our home games
- 1:52[SPEAKER_00]: Usually, when the Jaguar is play at Wimbley, it's a home game when they play at Tottenham, it's a wagon, but they're playing at Tottenham and Wimbley this year, both of them are home games, right?
- 2:02[SPEAKER_00]: And that Tottenham game is a game that was taken away from the 2031 season, added to the 2026 season.
- 2:11[SPEAKER_00]: And so the Jaguar is will not be required in 2031 to have an international game.
- 2:17[SPEAKER_00]: So that's something to keep in mind.
- 2:19[SPEAKER_00]: Now when it comes to these international games,
- 2:23[SPEAKER_00]: The Jaguar's agreement right now is year to year with the NFL.
- 2:28[SPEAKER_00]: So it is possible that after 2027, the year in which the Jaguars will be playing in Orlando and I expect them to play in London a good bit that year as well, it is possible that they will no longer be hosting an annual home game in London.
- 2:44[SPEAKER_00]: It's also possible that they will continue to host one in London.
- 2:47[SPEAKER_00]: It's just unclear right now.
- 2:48[SPEAKER_00]: But let's go ahead and get to this question.
- 2:49[SPEAKER_00]: I just want to give y'all all the information that you can have to just kind of understand what's going on with the London Games.
- 2:56[SPEAKER_00]: But the Jaguars will be hosting the Philadelphia Eagles in London.
- 3:02[SPEAKER_00]: That is going to be what week five, week five, Jaguars Eagles in London at Tottenham.
- 3:13[SPEAKER_00]: And the following week, they will be hosting the Eagles, excuse me, I just said the Eagles, the Texans in London.
- 3:20[SPEAKER_00]: So week five, verse the Eagles in London at Tottenham, week six, verse the Texans in London in Wimbly.
- 3:28[SPEAKER_00]: So that's a pretty big deal.
- 3:31[SPEAKER_00]: Two of the Jaguar's toughest home opponents.
- 3:34[SPEAKER_00]: they will be facing in London instead of Jacksonville.
- 3:37[SPEAKER_00]: And if you're so overall, the Jaguars have had a pretty darn good record in London as compared to their regular season record over the last 12, 13 years, however long it's been since they've been going over there.
- 3:49[SPEAKER_00]: But last year, they got the brakes beat off of them by the ramps.
- 3:54[SPEAKER_00]: And that game could have been a little closer.
- 3:56[SPEAKER_00]: It could have been, right?
- 3:58[SPEAKER_00]: You had the Parker Washington touchdown called back that would have gotten them closer, and it should not have been called back.
- 4:04[SPEAKER_00]: And then you also just had a couple little moments where the jags, if they executed a little tighter, they might have been in a little bit.
- 4:13[SPEAKER_00]: I still think the Rams win that game.
- 4:15[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think the Jaguar has had much upfront to really deal with the Rams defensive line.
- 4:20[SPEAKER_00]: I think that was the ultimate issue there.
- 4:23[SPEAKER_00]: And that was ultimate issue against the C-Ox as well.
- 4:25[SPEAKER_00]: And they also just struggled both of those games
- 4:35[SPEAKER_00]: on offense.
- 4:35[SPEAKER_00]: So obviously, that was a big point of emphasis for the Jack Wars.
- 4:39[SPEAKER_00]: This offseason, getting tougher or more physical in the trenches, tight ends, etc.
- 4:45[SPEAKER_00]: But not playing their ramps this year.
- 4:48[SPEAKER_00]: You're playing the Eagles in the Texans.
- 4:50[SPEAKER_00]: So both of those games, I would much rather be in Jacksonville than in London because I think those are your two toughest opponents at home this year.
- 5:03[SPEAKER_00]: bar none.
- 5:04[SPEAKER_00]: I know the Patriots went to the Super Bowl.
- 5:06[SPEAKER_00]: I think the Eagles and Texans are more difficult to deal with.
- 5:09[SPEAKER_00]: I think the Patriots, and obviously they have their own issues going on right now, Stefan Diggs, not guilty.
- 5:17[SPEAKER_00]: Mike Rabel, guilty of, you know, not a crime, but guilty of a lot, when it comes to dying and receiving these situation.
- 5:27[SPEAKER_00]: So,
- 5:28[SPEAKER_00]: The Patriots, to me, were one of the more fraudulent, Super Bowl teams that I've seen in a long time, honestly.
- 5:35[SPEAKER_00]: Like, they were not the best team in the AFC.
- 5:40[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think, I don't think it was close.
- 5:43[SPEAKER_00]: So, I think that they're a good team.
- 5:46[SPEAKER_00]: They're not a team to be taken lightly.
- 5:50[SPEAKER_00]: I would rather play the Patriots in London than the Eagles or the Texans.
- 5:56[SPEAKER_00]: I like the Jaguars in Jacksonville against anyone, honestly.
- 6:02[SPEAKER_00]: And I know the bills got them in the playoffs.
- 6:05[SPEAKER_00]: Jaguars had that game.
- 6:07[SPEAKER_00]: They weren't in control of that game, and they let it slip in my opinion through some execution errors, some coaching errors.
- 6:17[SPEAKER_00]: We've talked about that at Nazium.
- 6:20[SPEAKER_00]: They very easily should not easily, but they should have won that game in my opinion.
- 6:25[SPEAKER_00]: Eagles and Texans in London, it's tough build a swallow, honestly, because the rest of your opponents at home are Patriots who we just talked about, I would rather play the Patriots somewhere else than Jacksonville just compared to the Eagles or Texans.
- 6:39[SPEAKER_00]: I feel more confident against the Patriots.
- 6:43[SPEAKER_00]: Steelers, they're going to be a tough football team.
- 6:51[SPEAKER_00]: They're not in that same tier in my opinion.
- 6:54[SPEAKER_00]: Washington Commanders, could they be resurgent?
- 6:57[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, they could be a difficult team to deal with.
- 6:59[SPEAKER_00]: Jane Daniels is unbelievable, but don't know if they're headed in the right direction or not, honestly.
- 7:09[SPEAKER_00]: Cleveland Browns would easily have taken them in London.
- 7:16[SPEAKER_00]: And then the Coltson Titans would have easily taken, if you're taking a division of opponent away from Jacksonville, make it the Coltson Titans, it's not the Texans, please, right?
- 7:27[SPEAKER_00]: So that's kind of the gist of where we're at with the London game.
- 7:31[SPEAKER_00]: I think you would probably expect a buy after that.
- 7:38[SPEAKER_00]: Week seven is a little early, but you know, around the time that you would expect a buy.
- 7:46[SPEAKER_00]: The Jaguar has only have six games in Jacksonville this year at home during the regular season.
- 7:52[SPEAKER_00]: The Jaguar has told you they've got eight games, but yeah, two of those are preseason.
- 7:57[SPEAKER_00]: Doesn't count.
- 7:58[SPEAKER_00]: Sorry to tell you.
- 7:59[SPEAKER_00]: So, six games in Jacksonville, two games in London, nine games on the road.
- 8:06[SPEAKER_00]: And those nine away opponents are your three divisional opponents, the Texans, Colton Titans, the Baltimore Ravens.
- 8:14[SPEAKER_00]: Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, Denver, Broncos, Chicago Bears, currently the Jaguars on paper based on last year have the 15th easiest schedule.
- 8:25[SPEAKER_00]: So, right in the middle of the pack.
- 8:29[SPEAKER_00]: Basing opinions on what happened last year is kind of usually ends up not looking very accurate, right?
- 8:39[SPEAKER_00]: Usually there's just a lot of change in the NFL year to year.
- 8:45[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not really considering the strength of schedule situation based on last year's records, all that stuff.
- 8:51[SPEAKER_00]: I think they've got a tough schedule.
- 8:54[SPEAKER_00]: I think when you look at these London games against the Eagles and Texans, I think you should at least expect the Jack Wars to go one-and-one against those opponents.
- 9:05[SPEAKER_00]: They had a tough go of it last year in London.
- 9:08[SPEAKER_00]: I think that obviously
- 9:16[SPEAKER_00]: Just the whole operation, they got their way early, the Rams got their way late.
- 9:23[SPEAKER_00]: The Rams came out and looked more prepared.
- 9:25[SPEAKER_00]: I also think that that was just a combination of coaching, schematics, and personnel.
- 9:30[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't just the fact that the Rams got their Friday, and I and the Jaguar's got their Monday or Tuesday, or whatever it was, but that could have been a factor.
- 9:38[SPEAKER_00]: And it will be interesting to see exactly what the Jaguar is doing this year, handling that.
- 9:47[SPEAKER_00]: for two straight games, how do they handle that situation?
- 9:52[SPEAKER_00]: Did they get to the first game?
- 9:54[SPEAKER_00]: Or late, did they come on Friday or whatever it is?
- 9:59[SPEAKER_00]: Like the ram did last year and then just kind of stay the week and try to have a normal of a week as possible when you get ready to face the Texans?
- 10:06[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 10:07[SPEAKER_00]: But I would expect the Jaguars to go at least one in one.
- 10:09[SPEAKER_00]: You would hope for them to go two in a, they certainly I think have the ability to go two in a,
- 10:18[SPEAKER_00]: back to back, um, not favorable.
