  Speaker 1: Are you pinching yourself?
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Key? Do you know what this time last year?
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: No?
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: But in all honesty, am I pinching myself? Also?
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: No?
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Because since the bye week it's been looking like this.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: They've been looking like a team that is going to win.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: And I totally believe seven and in fact, interestingly since
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: about the Chargers game, which is gonna probably where we're
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: going to end up in a few weeks. So no,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: I'm not pinching myself. Jason. Here's one for you. Right,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: We've got Jason Bell with us, the country's greatest NFL pundit, Jason,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: So this time listening the.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: Way absolutely, it's like, don't forget who touched.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: This time last year. Jay and I are talking a
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: lot about how the Jaguars every game were losing in
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: close games and finding a way to lose. This week
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: against the Colts, it felt like even though the Jugs
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: didn't play their best, they found a way to win.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: And that feels like a big difference this season.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: Without a doubt.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: And you said it at the beginning, right, seven games
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: in a ruw Right, I didn't miss that's correct, right,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: To make sure you know how hard that is, Yeah, man,
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: I mean I remember when the six games in a
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: row in New York and I thought we were in
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: the city. I mean, it was go time everywhere and
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: it was exciting, but it was hard to duplicate that
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: success every single week and no matter how you win,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: you made a great statement. Key, it's all about finding
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: a way to win, doesn't matter what happens, and other
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: people on the team guiding you to success. It's not
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: always on your quarterback or another position. It's a team sport.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Everybody has to step up, somebody on your roster, especially
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: the bottom half of your roster.
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: A couple of those guys are.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Gonna win you a game in a year, and they
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: are finding a way to do it. They're overcoming adversity,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: some of it's self inflicted, but they're finding a way
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: to do that, and that's the key.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: Look.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: We've got a lot to talk about in the show today,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: including of course, potential playoff opponents, what might happen in
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the last game for not just the Jags, but loads
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: of other teams which could reflect, you know, about who
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: the potential opponents are for the Jags in the playoffs,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: potential news as well about a watch party.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: If things go the way we wanted to go.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: So we'll talk a little bit about that, but first
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: let's just get onto this Colts game.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Let's sort of wrap it up.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: I suppose then Jason twenty three seventeen, the Jags managed
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: to beat the Colts. How was the game won?
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know, I.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Would say you forcing turnovers in a tight situation. They
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: found a way to bounce back. It felt like they
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: were losing control over the red zone issues and that
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: always concerns me with them. But they found a way
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: to win, and the defense really stepped up.
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: I love the adjustments that are happening with the defense
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: and the defensive coordinator, so I give it to him.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Big plays, Parker Washington always coming through somehow, some way. Man,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: This dude is phenomenal. And the secondary, like I said,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: making a play, I like Buster brown Man going in
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: there holding it together. Man, you know what I'm saying.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I like when guys just step up to the challenge.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: So I look at it like a team when they
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: overcame adversity. Really held it down on defense, especially in
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: the second half.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: But who's the Jags MVP.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Well it's tough man. That interception by Jerry Jones was big.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Liked his play, But I got to give it to Parker.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I got my eye on him whenever I can give
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: him credit. Man, I think he had over one hundred
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: yards making it happen. I mean, the guy's just stepping
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: up to the challenge. He's getting the matchups because the
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: other two receivers are getting a lot of the tension,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: rightly so, because they've been bawling. But that's why you
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: need three explosive guys you can win the matchup battle.
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: And he's doing that.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: But about the key moment in the game, fourth quarter
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: interception by Jones, that was the key man stepping up
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: making a big play like that. Just like I said,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I think there was some comments by some of the
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: players about the defensive coordinator and how he they have
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: so much confidence in the way the way he describes
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: what's gonna happen and hasn't prepared. And what I mean
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: by that is when a coordinator can tell you exactly
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: how you're being attacked, you can go out there and
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: play with confidence. And it feels like they have that
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: and they believe in his adjustments, and that interception says
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: that man.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: Shout out to Jerry Jones, big play.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Why can the Giants improve?
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, you gotta man, The only thing that
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: scares me is a red zone. Man. When they started
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: looking sloppy, in the red zone.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I'm always a little concerned and I get the gadget
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: play like I understand it, But don't get too cute. Now,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: maybe I can't say anything about Liam Colin. I love
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: what he's doing. And maybe you're trying to put something
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: on film. But man, you're a good team. Man, you
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: don't have to kind of have those gotta have it
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: moment plays just to put it on film. Man, don't
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: get too cute. And then I would say special teams.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Field position can always get a little better, but you know,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: more importantly, make sure you're good in the red zone.
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: That's the key, especially in the playoffs.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: And how did the Jacks close out the season with
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: an eighth victory in a row. Tennessee Titans Sunday, six
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: pm UK time at home.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: First of all, I like him Ward, their quarterback. Want
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: to watch him. They gotta it's gonna be It's gonna
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: be a good division for years to come because of
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: these quarterbacks. I want to start there. But if you Jacksonville,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: may you gotta start fast. Don't even give them a chance,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: don't even make them think they got a chance, make
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: them want to get on the bus. We call it
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: one two, three, can coon you trying to get on you,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: trying to go on vacation quickly, you know, and then
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: guys start shutting it down because they don't want to
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: get hurt, like you want to get it so far
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: out of reach early that they just shut it down
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: and quit.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: Obviously, Trevor controlled the game at the line of scrimmage,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: get the ball to Parker, all that, all those kind
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: of things. But start fast. Don't give them any hope. Man,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: It is that simple. Do not beat yourself.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: And this is actually a way more important game than
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: you might have anticipated, you know, thinking about the record.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Obviously for the Jags, it's a really great record. But
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: you know, looking back a few weeks ago, you might
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: have thought that the Colts will be being part of
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: the conversation when it comes to this division.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: But that is not the case in any way. They're
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: out of the running.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: But the Houston Texans have just come out of not nowhere,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: per se, but they are on a winning streak of
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: their own. They're eleven and five right now, so only
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: one game behind, which means that the Jags need to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: get this victory against the Tennessee Titans. So it does
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: it has to be said, this is a.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Very winnable game. It's a very winnable game.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: But it's not just a game where you can rest Trevor,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: which is kind of maybe what a lot of people
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: would quite like. You know, you rest Trevor Or, your
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: rest you know hein Zalen, you rest some of these
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: players that you know might need a bit of time.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: But it's not that case whatsoever.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: Is it?
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: No, this is a team that needs to be in rhythm.
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: They get better every single week, so they have to play.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: And one thing about these divisional matchups is there's a
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: lot of confidence with the players in understanding their opponent.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: What do I mean if I have to if I've
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: covered a guy, you know, two times a year for
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: a while, like I feel confident in the way he
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: runs his routes, Like I feel familiar with the way
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: I'm playing my opponent, which gives you a little bit
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: of an advantage, right, So you can go out there,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: and that's why these games are so tightly contested. I
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: do believe the strength of this team is their confidence
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: that they can win different games, different styles every single week.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: You got to play to do that.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: So go out there, That's why I'm saying you got
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: to start your guys, but start fast. If you can
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: just get them, if you can steal a quarter, say
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: at the end, that is that's a lot of rest.
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: Man. That's important to be fast.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Especially over the last weeks. I think the Jacks have
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: been starting fast. They started fast in this game against
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: the Coast. You know, it just so happened that they
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: were in the red zone and then of course there
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: was that mistake, but you know before that, it was
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: efficient played from the Jags over the last few weeks
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: Well, is it j Bell?
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: They always say the first fifteen players are always you know,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: they're scripted, and that's why you can sometimes you know,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: see this efficient play.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so yeah, it is.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: It's the point of the game where you're gathering information.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: You've seen the looks that you want to attack, and
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: these are plays that are rehearsed and you feel good about.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: So I always look at a coach and a play
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: caller and it's first fifteen and I'm like, man, you know,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: they really had a good understanding or they guessed right
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: and how they were going to be attacked. Then the
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: adjustments occur and then I evaluate from there. But like
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: you said, you said the key pointing. Yeah, they start
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: fast and they have been, but you have to finish
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: man red zone offense and defense. I spend so much
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: time watching what teams do down there because that's when
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: it matters. You can't just kick threes in this game
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: to win. You got to score. So when you get
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: down there, you got condensed space. Defense is you differently.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: You cannot make mistakes, period because you can cause turnovers
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: that lose you points and you missed opportunities. So you
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: got to finish the play in the red area and
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: that's why they got to be on the field.
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: They have been.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: And Trevor leaning on the legs and his running ability
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: is key down.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: So Jason, you've nailed that for me. So one of
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: the things I was going to say was one of
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: the things that getting right in the red zone is.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: So there were two running touchdowns from Trevor. One of
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: them was a design play and one of them he read.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: So that's that's working. What are the bits for you
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: that actually specifically needed to be looked at to be
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: tightened up in the red zone.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: Well, I think what you said is key.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: So philosophically, why he needs to be able to take off.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Is this when you are that threat that you can
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: run right. See in the red area, it's tight. So
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: if everything's covered up, the only way a zone coverage
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: can break down is time.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: So movement breaks it down.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: So while he's moving around, he continues to look for
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: an opening, and if he doesn't, now people have to
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: come out of coverage. So if they come out of coverage,
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: you dump it over their head into the vacator zone.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: If they stay and coverage, you run it in. It's
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: purely that.
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: But his whole.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Issue is sometimes at that moment, that precipice of decision making,
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: he makes a mistake, and it's just being calm in
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: that and not trying to force it because he's going
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: to dictate exactly how the defense is going to react
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: because they do not want him to run it in.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, so you know the turnover in the red zone,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: the interception in the red zone. Talk me through that one,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: because I've heard several different ways of looking at it.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: What's your take on that?
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: Feel mean, what you've heard enough?
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I've heard two things. I've heard bad decision, shouldn't have
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: thrown it in that direction and Secondly, i've heard bad throw.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I think it was a bad throw. I'm not sure
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: it was a bad decision. I look at it. I
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: look at that and think that was a bad throw.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: I think I think both are the same. I think
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: I think the hesitation caused the bad decision.
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: Okay, that that that's what I look at.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: But it's like I said, it's such a condensed space,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: right it's you can't you have to operate differently. So
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I want him to continue. I'm very careful what I
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: say because I want him to continue to be aggressive.
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: That is what I love about his game. Right now.
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: Just make a decision, Yeah, just make the decision.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: And I also I just want to really quickly point
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: out in this game is it looks it was tight.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, but the Jacksonville Jankins were a
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: better team here. Oh so it's still good to know
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: that this isn't a case of the Jags reverting to
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: anything or whatever.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: I think that's huge. Like we said right at the top, man,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: they've found the way to it. They didn't play their best,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: but the found a way to win.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: About United you know, so you you got you guys
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: are maturing right now. Okay, in front of our eyes.
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: And let me let me tell you this, you're maturing.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I'm older than you, Jason.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: We're getting used to winning, okay, right, And before you know,
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: you were trying to find the positives of in losing, right,
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: and you were having those discussions. Now you're critiquing a
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: superior team that is winning and you're saying, hey, we
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: we're winning, but if we did this, we might have lost.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: You're what if this is a part of the process, man,
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: This is what happens when your team starts winning, and
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: you were going to continue to do this as they win,
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: you are each week you're gonna say, oh, if we
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: don't fix this.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: We're gonna lose.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: You know, if we don't work on this same way
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: coaches do you know, coaches go and they go to
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: their team and they're like they put the film on
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: in all honesty and they're like, we won that game,
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: but look at this.
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: We have to fix this.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: If we don't fix this, this is going to creep
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: up and this is going to cause us to lose.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: So that's what we focus on this week, and that's
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: what we're doing now.
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: We are basically coaches.
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: That I mean that you know we're play callers.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, oh god, I am like, basically.
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: Listen, accept your fate.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Yes it, it's okay.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: In all honesty, this is what's great about being a
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: fan now, the transformational process of being able to say,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: oh my goodness, we win, we.
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: Won, but we need to do this. How good does
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: that feel?
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: That is the truth. That is the truth.
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: Jay.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: You know, calling yourself a coach doesn't mean you can
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: increase your faith for this podcast, right, Coach Laurence.
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: I ain't got nothing to do with that, fellas.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: J Vel is my agent. Let's go on to the
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: move on the playoffs.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I know that there's going to be a certain selection
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: of people saying, oh, don't look at the playoffs, right, No,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: we are because there is a potential still that the
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Jags could get the number one seed. Key, do you
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: want to walk us through this in case I get
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: it wrong?
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, So as far as I'm aware, correct me if
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I'm wrong. I think it comes down to if the
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Jags beat the Titans on Sunday, that's division clinched. Then
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: if the Patriots and Broncos lose and the Jags win,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: that is JAG's number one seed. Now, I personally think
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: that's unlikely. First and foremost, the Dolphins are going to
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: New England, and I think New England are going to
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: win that. So number one seed, I think it really
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: is a long shot. Yeah, there's a chance, but I
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: think it's a long shot. So I think out on
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Sunday we come out because I do think we beat
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: the Titans. I think we come out division winners, but
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: most likely number three, that's what I think.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Justin Herbert isn't playing for the Chargers either in their
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: face the Broncos. Texans obviously are still in the mix
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: to win the division if the Jags don't beat the Titans,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: and they are playing the Cults, so their favorites going
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: into that game as well. So as you say, it
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: looks like the Jags hopefully will you know, win the
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: division third seed. As it stands, they would play the
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: LA Chargers, though the Texans, Charges and Bills all are
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: on eleven and five, so in reality, you're looking at Texans,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: one of the Texans, Chargers or Bills. Jabow, is there
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: any match up there that you'd prefer and be like to.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: Miss Texans, Chargers or Bills. I definitely want to miss
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: the Texans. Yeah, okay, definitely want to miss and.
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: The Bills I believe you can beat.
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: But then it's about whose quarterback are you more confident in,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: you know, because I will say this to the Bills.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: I like the way Jacksonville can adjust and the Bills
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: the fear is what they do in the second half, right,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: and Liam Cohen will keep him balanced enough for Sean
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: McDermott not to sell out and stop one thing on defense.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: He's great when he can sell out and stop one thing,
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: when he can anticipate what you're gonna do. That's when
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: the Bills are good on defense. But I think Liam
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Cohen as a play caller will they can go toe
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: to toe. That would be interesting, tough matchups, man, But
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: if I got to take one, I'm taking the Chargers.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: I would take. I would take the Charges as well.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: I think we preempting this a little bit, and we
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: were kind of we're saying that we'd probably all prefer
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: the Chargers, but no doubt because we've said that it
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: won't necessarily happen that way. But you know, Jags beat
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: the Chargers already this season and they case dominated them.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the Texans were scary fellas.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, Jason does a divisional match up in the playoffs,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: make it is? It does not feel different to playing
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: any other team.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's more intense, but you know, yeah, yeah it does.
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: I've done that.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: I played Philly in the playoffs in the wild card
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: before after we had played them twice, and yeah, it
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: was different.
• 18:08
  Speaker 5: It was. It was. There was an emotional step up
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: for sure. For sure.
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: How much you take into account.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: I'm telling the energy that comes into playoffs, man, it
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: is real.
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: It is real.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: You get on on that field, you start warming up
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: and you're like, oh my god, you just can feel it.
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: It's faster too, I can't it. Literally, it gets faster.
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Dudes are flying around.
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: It is winner go home, So people are laying it
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: on the line. That's what That's why the tournament's so fun.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Well, I want to touch upon as well, is the
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: fact that in fact you can you can answer me
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: this Jbell because the Jacksonville Jankos fans here in the
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: UK over the last few years haven't had a whole
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: lot to cheer about ever since the championship game of
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: course a few years ago. Really, but the jack you're
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: in a different spot even they feel like they're in
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: a different spot even compared to when they made the
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: playoffs with Trevor Lawrence a few years ago. As well,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: as a fan, do you encourage people? Do you encourage
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: you British fans right now to get on board and
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: savor it and enjoy it, or to not get ahead
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: of yourself.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: Fans can always get ahead of themselves, you know, and
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: you know fans fans are different than players, right You
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: need to embrace the victories, the celebration, like take it
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: all in, take it all in as you should each week,
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: ride it all the way to the next game, because
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: really you don't have to worry about anything until you
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: sit down and watch the game. You know, I mean so,
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: And you gotta think forward because this whole thing is
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: about hope.
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: This whole thing is about do we have a chance.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: You should never as a fan feel guilty about the
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: way you celebrate, the way you grieve, like this is
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: a part of the this is this is what makes
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: it so fun and so unique. Everybody does it in
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: their own way and you should embrace that. The players
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: are the ones we have to move on, figure it
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: out and prepare and all that. But as a fan,
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: just ride the wave, enjoy it, and then let's see
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: how far we can go and then think about it
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: all again in the offseason. I mean, in all honesty,
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: that's how I am and I played the game for
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: a long time, but as a fan, it's totally different.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of psyched knowing that about in a week's time,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: like the next podcast that we're going to do is
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: going to be a playoff preview podcast. I mean, that's
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: kind of exciting. That makes me feel pretty good. Let's
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: do the predictions for the for the Titans game. Minie
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence Figurine is up for grabs. I am really
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: unhappy how this situation has worked out over the last
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: By the way, because Jason James.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Sounds like my mum, Jason Jackson twenty three to seventeen,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: which means that you get the bonus point because you
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: went for a seven point win and a lower score.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: So it's Jason sixteen, It's Key fourteen, and I'm on thirteen,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: which means that Mini Trevor could be on the way
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: to to Cassa del Bell. Let's do the Titans home predictions.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Key do you want to get your ridiculous one out
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: of the way.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: It's not ridiculous, and the bonus point is coming to Margot.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: It's thirty one ten, Okay, exeeze, confident, j Bell.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Decent thirty one ten. So I'm gonna go, all right,
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: Why am I going next one? I'm the in front.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: I'm going.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Ok I'm just saying, all right, I just realized that
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: that was slick.
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: That's a great point. That's a great point.
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna go advantage of winning.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: But I'm just putting it out there for legal reasons
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: that I.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: If you got your attorney in your apiece.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Listen, I got representation everywhere there really close. She's on
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: the phone right now. You know she's on the call
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: right now, my legal representation.
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: Y'all might know her. Anyway.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Do you're on your prediction now or should I go?
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: I'm going, I'm going. I just had to reference the
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: fact that I see what you do.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: My goodness, this is I hate it when people do
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: this because what this is going to happen now, Jay Bell,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: is if you don't win this, it's going to you're
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: gonna be like, well, if I went a different you know,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: if I went first.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: Ide an excuse probably not to know.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't play. I didn't play with you ja
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: not here, not here.
• 22:38

• 22:40
  Speaker 3: minutes to somebody. But it's okay, nobody I know about that,
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: all right.

• 22:54
  Speaker 4: I'll go a little bit closer.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: I'll go thirty twenty because, as you said before, J Bell,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: I do quite like camp Ward. I think he's got
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: a lot of talent. I just don't know how much
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: talent and reality the rest of the team has.
• 23:10
  Speaker 5: R's read right on the fence.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Okay, that's kind of what I was doing you.
