  Speaker 2: Very well? Very well? Thank you Jay. Lots of exciting
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: things to talk about today.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, especially because since we last spoke, there has been
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: a certain certain thing that has been clarified, a certain
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: thing that has been revealed, and this probably is going
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: to be the earliest possible preview of a specific NFL
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: game in history. La Rams at the Jacksonville Jaguars Wembley Stadium,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: two thirty nineteenth of October twenty twenty five. We'll get
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: into that in a minute. Key. And in fact, you
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: know that's not even necessarily the headline the headline of
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: this whole podcast, because our very special guest on this podcast,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Foyerer Lua Khan, he joins us from Jacksonville. We talked
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: to Darren as well, the UK Jags fan who went
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: with Jamie. You remember Jamie our International fan of the
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Year to Green Bay for the draft. So Darren may
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: be the luckiest Jags fan in the UK. He's going
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: to tell us about the bits that no doubtly Jamie
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: forgot to tell us because there was just so much
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: the last time we spoke to him, and so much
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: news in Duval Dispatch is including summer activities in the UK.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: So basically, if you're a Jags fan in the UK
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: in Ireland, this is a bumper edition specifically for UK
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and Irish fans.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Jam Packed, Jay, That's what I'm saying. This is a
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: good one.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Jam Packed. Should we start with the the thing that
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: we're looking forward to this episode, Let's.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Go deep on it immediately.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Please, we know now who we know when it's the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: team with so many connections to our new regime here
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: at the Jacksonville Jaguars, it's going to be the La
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Rams that the Jags are facing at Wembley Stadium.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I like this a lot. Do you know what?
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: You could have said any of the teams in the NFL,
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: and I would have gone, I like this because it
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: means I get to go and watch the Jags play
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: at Wembley again. But I particularly like we've got new
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: people coming in to the organization. They have connections with
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: the La Rams. And when La Rams came up, I thought,
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: this is good. This is like almost like some sort
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: of fate connection, and I like that. I think there's
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: going to be a lot of interesting things happening around
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: the time. Not even to mention, I think it's going
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: to be a great match up. I like all of
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: the connections that are happening.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the easiest thing to say is what's
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the phrases it? Like you know, teacher versus pupil or
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: like you know, master versus that becomes the student. That's it.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: And that's what could potentially happen in October because obviously,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: you know, as I mentioned earlier, there are connections here.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: New Jags head coach. His first job in the NFL
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Sean mcvagh from the La Rams. He gave that job,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: you know, over in California. James Gladstone, of course, his
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: first job in the NFL was from Lesnie, the general
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: manager of the La Rams. And you know, obviously James Gladstone,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the Jags new GM literally just moved from l A
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: a matter of weeks ago, and yeah, in just just
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: a matter of months they're going to be going to
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: be facing the La Rams. So this is really a
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: case of can the Jags get one over on the Rams?
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Can Neir Liam Cohen get James Gladstone get one over
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: on the Rams? Like you know, off the bat essentially,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: because it's really early in the season as well.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Oh yes, so this is this is this is the one.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: I think it's a really good it's a really good test,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: and I think on paper, can they get one over? Absolutely,
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: they can get one over. I think yeah, it's it's
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: either way. It's going to be an excellent day. And
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: it will be nice to see the handshakes at the
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: end of the game and see who comes out on top.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, if you're to a drama, you look
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: for the who doesn't give us the hand give them
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the handshakes, you know what I mean?
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Oh would you would you be one of those that
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: goes in and no, well just just avoiding the handshake.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: No, everyone's on good terms, aren't they. I don't think
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: that's going to be happening in any way. But the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Rams are I think off on the face of it,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: they are Super Bowl contenders. So it's really going to
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: be a brilliant test for the Jacksonville Jaguars. See where
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: they're at early on in the season, new regime, new players, obviously,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: new head coach, new coordinators. Of course, you just need
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: to look at the Rams. Just look at their their
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: wide receiver unit right now, just the top two receivers
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: along with you know, Matt Stafford on the center. Of course,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: you've got Pooka and Akua who has been sensational over
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: his first couple of years in the NFL. A man
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: called Davonte Adams that you probably have heard of as well.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Key is now with the LA Rams up against Tyson Campbell,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Jaron Jones, Jordan Lewis, and maybe Travis Hunter. Maybe Travis Hun.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, if he is playing cornerback, what a test
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: that is early on in the in Do you know what, Travis,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: He's just gonna be playing every snap on this game
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: because it's gonna be it's gonna be a tough one.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: But you know what, Jay, I'm glad you mentioned Tyson
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Campbell because, oh tas this week obviously a lot of
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: talk about Tyson Campbell, and I liked hearing Liam Cohen
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: saying this could be his breakout year. I thought that's
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: excellent this early on to be saying that sort of thing.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: How well is Tyson Campbell playing right now?
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: No, man, Yeah, I mean it's always it's always good
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to see your head coach say something like that. And
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: it's interesting as well because this is OTAs. This is
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: really like basically as early as you can get in
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the off season, So you're really trying to make an
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: impression for your new head coach, aren't you. So Syson
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: camb will be feeling good about that, But you know,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: he's a confident guy. He's never going to be feeling,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: you know, like you wouldn't be having a good season.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: But we want we want to hear that. We want
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: to hear that, especially.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Yes, especially after a tricky season with injury as well.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: I loved hearing that for him. That was great.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I think that this game the Rams the Jags. I
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: don't know if I'm biased, but this is like one
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: of the best Wembley games. I think one of the
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: best NFL games international NFL games for a while. In
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: my opinion. This is you know, there's so many NFL
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: games that are international this year all around the globe,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: which is, you know, amazing, But this I just think
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I've just got a feeling this is going to be
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: one of the standout games. You know, even looking I
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: mentioned a couple of wide receivers there for the La Rams.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: But let's not forget now that you know, Travis Hunter
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: joining Brian Thomas Junior, those two players for the Jags
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: compared to twelve months ago. Genuine I do believe this
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the pull, the excitement, the fever from not only Jags fans,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: but from just NFL fans in general that are going
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to be going to that game. I think it's going
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: to be something else just because of those two. I mean,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not even counting Trevor Awrence in this conversation.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Just Brian Thomas Jr. And to Travis Hunter. That is
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: going to be there's gonna be so many eyes on
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: just those two players at Wembley. Yeah.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: Now, isn't that interesting that you've said that, because I'm
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: actually going to say the same thing about Brian Thomas
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: Junior that he's gone under the braidars Travis Hunter.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Oh well, yeah, yes, And of course I'm going to mention, I.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Mean, look, can we honestly say that considering that I
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: think that about seventy five percent of every single podcast
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: we just talk about Brian Thomas jor and how much
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: how good it is, Yes, of our.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: Podcast, yes, absolutely, But generally speaking, actually, since Travis Hunter
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: joined the organization, Brian Thomas Junior has flown under the
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: radar a bit and this week OTA is everyone's talking
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: about Travis Fewer and fewer people are talking about Brian
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Thomas Junior. And I'm like, I reckon, Brian Thomas Junior
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: probably quite enjoys that. But You're absolutely right the pull
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: and it's such a good move by James Gladstone because
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: people are talking about the Jacksonville Jaguars and in the
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: UK people are excited to go and.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: See that game. That's what I'm saying, the game that
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: everyone's talking about.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Your Absolutely, yeah, I genuinely believe that, like the excitement
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: is going to be you know, at in London, at
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: Wembley Stadium, that day is going to be off the scale.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I mean it always is, but I think in this
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: particular game it's going to be off the scale. And
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: again we're buyers, we're excited no matter who's playing. But yeah,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: it just makes me very excited to see them, you know,
• 8:50

  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: I'm just hype, man, I'm just really high. I just
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: feel like we could talk about this for the whole episode.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: To be honest with you, I just think it's going
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: to be a real great test to see where the
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Jags are at.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Early on talking about a great test, yeah right, it's
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: talking about a great test. Early on Monday night football
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Kansas City Chiefs Early October.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, talk about a test.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: It's really exciting because you could look at these lists
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: in two different ways, and I tend to always see
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: it as like a positive thing, which is, Ah, it's
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: tough to have some you know, really difficult you know
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: matchups early on in the season, because you know what
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: happens if you are on a losing record, you know,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: confidence wanes, and then what happens later on in the
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: season you're almost coming back, you want to try and
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: get you know, a winning record early. But I come
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: at it kind of different, which is, Look, this is tough.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. I mean I was just
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: saying that the LA Rams is one of the tough,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: toughest games. I do believe that. But obviously the Chiefs
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: are that they've won multiple Super Bowls over the last
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: few years for a reason. But if you are able
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to get a victory against the Kansas City Chiefs Monday
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: night football, do you know who's going to be standing
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: up and talking about the Jacksonville Jaguars. Everyone?
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: Everyone, literally everyone, everyone across the world, every NFL fan
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: will be talking about it.
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: Do you know what, Jay, I completely agree with you.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna throw something else in there. Monday Night football
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: against the Cincinnati Bengals couple of seasons ago is where
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: I think the slump started, right. I think it's going
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: to be so interesting to see what this team looks like,
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: regardless of win or loss. I think it's going to
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: be interesting to see how they handle being under the
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: microscope the eyes of the world on them for Monday
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: Night football.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: That I'm more interested in than the actual.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: W or L.
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: I think, how will we handle it is more important
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: because we've been watching the draft, we've been watching OTAs.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: This team, this franchise feels different and looks different, and
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: I'm excited to see what we do on that Monday night.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But at the same time, you know, I don't
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: want to come at it and be like, you know,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: it's early in the regime, it's just about improvement or whatever,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: because I don't think that there's one player, you know,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: in that on the I don't think that there's you know,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: any coach that is going to be satisfied with mild improvement,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: No or even I think. I think the attitude is
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: a big is a big part of it.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Attitude is absolutely a big part of it. But you know,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I kind of think that that is a that that
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: should be a prerequisite, that should be a that should
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: be a baseline thing for any NFL team, to be
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: honest with you, you know, I'm not saying it's easy.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's easy when you've had difficult seasons,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: but when you are early on in the season, especially,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: you know you need to keep that attitude right when
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: you've got a new head coach, when you've got new
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: coordinators as well, and you know at the same time
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: you need to And every NFL player knows this as well.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: It's not a case of oh, well, you know I
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: was good two seasons ago, a good three. No, it's
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: what have you done for me lately? Do you know
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: what I mean? It's like you need to have every single.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: It's an old Eddie Murphy bit it Yeah, yeah, it's excellent.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Well it's true though, I mean in the NFL, every
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: every player knows that, every coach that knows that is
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: that you can only ride on reputations so much. And
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: I'm not even I'm not saying obviously that any Jags
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: player is doing this whatsoever. But it's a whole, you know,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: holistic thing it's how your how you are on the field,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: how you are on the off the field, it's how
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: you are on the sideline as well, what you bring
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: to the table. And I think earlier in the season,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I think we're going to see we aren't going to see,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: We're going to see a good attitude. I don't have
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: any doubt about that. Key, I don't have any doubt
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: about that.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Lawrence in Yeah, Yeah, I just.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Think that it's it's exciting. I love the off season.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of people I think that
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: that look at the off season. As you know, there's
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: obviously no NFL action, and we can yearn for it,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: we can look forward to it, we can be excited
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: to see, you know, our teams on the field. But
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: at the same time, I think it's great to give
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: to give ourselves perspective. It's great to look at it
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: from a long point of view, to be able to think, right, okay,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: what can we do better? Because there is time we do.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: You know, it's not like the premier league season, or
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: it's not like you know, football where literally or even
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: baseball or basketball. There's just so many games, like you know,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: all the time with the NFL you have the long
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: off season which you are able to look and be like, right,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: how do I want to be? What do I want
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: our team to be like? And also let's be hopeful.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: You know, I call it like hope season because everyone
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: is able to be hopeful in the off season. No
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: matter who you support, everyone still has the same chance
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: of winning the Super Bowls, you know what I mean?
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this hope season, I have to say, feels more
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: hopeful than for a few good few years.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I have to say, yeah, absolutely, all right, So what
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: has else has happened over the last few weeks. Well,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Gabe Davis, the Jags wide receiver, well, the former Jags
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: wide receiver. Now I suppose he has been cut since
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: we last had a conversation. Key Patrick Murta, the Australian
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: who was on the IPP program, who was on the
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: podcast what about a year ago? Actually wasn't he He's
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: no longer with the team. Current tight ends Brenton Strange,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Johnny Munt Hunter, long Sean Bowman. I mean it was
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: always going to be tough, I think for him to
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: come back from two really difficult injuries. But I ever,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: you know, I've got a lot of hope that hopefully
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: he can make it in the league, you know, somewhere else.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I wish about all the best one percent. But
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: let's be honest, that tight Andrew is deep. Yeah, like
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: that's that's going to be interesting to watch this season.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Lewis ree Sam staying with the team, so yeah, hopefully
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: we can have a conversation with him maybe before the
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: season starts. Obviously, we spoke a lot about Travis Hunter
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: as well in the last podcast, I'll Shock our Excitement,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. He's like all over the news,
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: like all over the NFL news. You just needed to
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: turn on like any NFL like programming, and they're talking
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: about Travis Hunter and what he's been doing. There was
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: the there was the story about him sitting there, sitting
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: there next to the woman on the plane he saw
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: this izm key and the lady was confused why loads
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: of people were coming up and you know, asking him
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: for a photo. And in the end she was like,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go get like a Travis Hunter Jaggs Jersey.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Now there's also I love I.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Mean, that's that's how that's how a franchise grows, right,
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: is things like this, that's why I think James Dadstone
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: is an absolute genius.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: But also we've all been in that situation. I genuine
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: believe we've all been in that situation where you're like,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: that person's famous. I just don't know why loads of
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: people are going up to that person and asking for
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: a photo. I just don't know why. I get it
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: all the.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Time, and I'm like, it's me key off of tal.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the podcast where nobody nobody knows your face. But
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: apart from if you're watch it on YouTube, by the way,
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: like and subscribe. He was also surprising a kid the
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: other day. I saw this video where he was walking
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: in a neighborhood. I presume he was in Florida's just
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: walking in the neighborhood and there was this kid that
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: was just, you know, practicing football, and he was like,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: he just introduced it. He said hello, and he turned
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: around and he immediately knew who Travis Hunter was. And
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: I know he's a big name in college, but I
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: just think that that really just provides the really is
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: a good example of like the his star power already
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: when he's just gone into gone into the league, you
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: know what I mean.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: So imagine you go into the league, and you're on
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: the same team as Brian Thomas Junior, who was like
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: top five in most areas for as a wide receiver
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: last season, and everyone's talking about you and fewer people
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: are talking about Brian Thomas jor that.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: That is the power of this guy.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Also, Jay, did you hear what Jeff Larguman had to
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: say about him?
• 17:27

• 17:34
  Speaker 4: five years, knows the team like as good as anyone
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: knows the team working in the NFL thirty plus years.
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: I think it's something like that, Jeff Larguman said. Travis
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: Hunter is probably the best athlete he's ever encountered in
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: his long career. Which imagine that that is It's a
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: crazy sentence, isn't it.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: It's a crazy sentence. And that's why everyone's excited to
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: see him. Everyone's excited to see out on the field,

  Speaker 6: Just trying to write the ship and there's a lot

• 21:44
  Speaker 6: Obviously after last year, we knew that things did not
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: go the way that we wanted to. So I think
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: a lot of people are open to, you know, learning
• 21:50
  Speaker 6: whatever the coaches want, attacking things a little bit from
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: a different little angle, anything that's going to help but
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: have a better outcome then last year. But everybody's kind
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: of stuck on the process right now, trying to get
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: better in terms of the schemes and what we're learning
• 22:02

  Speaker 6: if you can really understand it.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: So he's good.
• 22:17

  Speaker 1: because you know there's going to be something for the
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: whole family to enjoy. How amazing is it when you
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: get to go out on the field with you know,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: young people that are playing American football, especially when it's
• 23:08

  Speaker 3: Cool. I like Joe parts for answering question. I like
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: the energy that they all bring.

  Speaker 6: you know, just seeing their eyes when I'm teaching them
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: stuff and getting their duice up while playing.

• 23:26
  Speaker 1: are like desperate to do whenever you're over in the UK?

  Speaker 6: I really I don't think they're playing soccer or y'all football.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Huh, you're gonna miss it. You're good, You've missed it
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: by like a few weeks.
• 23:36
  Speaker 6: I just see I like seeing sporting events, so or

  Speaker 6: any type of events stuff like that, like action.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: I'll get back over there at some point in time.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: But you've been to any games over here in the UK? Game?
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: How would you compare a Fulham game to like an
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: NFL game?
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: I just like the atmosphere, but they packed it out.
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: It's like in the middle of the neighborhood. So I
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: was like, wow, that's so crazy that the support and
• 23:57
  Speaker 6: fandom they get. That was technically I guess a smaller team,
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: but you know it's really their team.
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: That's really cool.
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: I feel like up or down, all the all the
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: people are going to be right right or die for him,
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: So I like it.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: I ask every player that I speak to from the
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Jacks their opinion on the British food. I'm going to
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: ask you.
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: Shoot, I like, I know what I like to eat,
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: so I just think that.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I just think that whenever you ask someone a question
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: an opinion about something and then there's that little pause,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, that just says it.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: But I know that I know that even my dad.
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: You know, my dad's from Ideeria, so he got a
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: lot of people up there in London and stuff. So
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: even he he you don't like the food, so like
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: going into it. I know that people not from there,
• 24:42
  Speaker 6: you know the food.
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: Is a little off.
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: But every time I'm there, I find what I like
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: to eat, So I never had a problem with the
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: restaurants I've been to.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's that's what we want to hear, that's what
• 24:50

• 25:02
  Speaker 6: I feel like that's kind of a home away from home,
• 25:04
  Speaker 6: so you know, I kind of felt like you got
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: in an advantage of being made that made the trip
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: the past couple of years for me. Yeah, I know
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: it would be a fun game. I though the Rams
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: are always fun to play. I'm just excited to play them.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, do you remember your first time playing the game
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: over here for the Jacks for the Jazz.
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, mm hmm against the Falcons.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was against the Falcons.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: I was my old team.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Now, Oh yeah, that's what I'm saying.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we won.
• 25:30
  Speaker 6: So what happened was I came the year before for
• 25:33
  Speaker 6: the Falcons and that was so interesting. I forgot to sleep,
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: so I was running on fumes and stuff. We won
• 25:39
  Speaker 6: against the Jets that game, but I was tired. Uh
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: So the next time we came over, I was better.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: You sort of planned it out a little bit more,
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: a little bit more.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Much better. Trip had a good game that game.
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: I want to just like bring us back about a
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: month as well, because obviously the Jacks were so like that.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: The story of the NFL Draft as well, you know,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: in the in the in the first round. You know,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: when did you watch the draft? Did you have like
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: an initial reaction when Travis Hunt was drafted?
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: I do watch the draft. Yeah, I was happy. I
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: was happy. You know.
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: I know, he's a good kid actually from that from Georgia,
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: so I knew him in high school a little bit
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: during COVID we actually trained somewhere in the same gym,
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: so I've seen him around. I've really interacted with him
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: that much by seeing like he's a humble kid, good
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: work ethic and stuff.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Obviously he's blown up since then. It is excited about
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: the talent that we're bringing to the team.
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: Really, and then I know our coaches have the most
• 26:35
  Speaker 6: confidence him in him, and I have the most confidence.
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: In our coaches to make sure he's implemented the right way.
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: So you know, anytime you get a good talented kid
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: around and he's going to be used the right way.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Uh, you know, this guy has a limit. So I'm
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: excited for him.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: I think that, you know, looking forward to what's going
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: on next month, looking forward to the Jags coming in
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: in a few months time against the Rams as well.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Why should people in the UK become fans of the
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: Jag if they aren't already.
• 27:01
  Speaker 6: You're embracing them as our home away from home, and
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: we're over there a lot at the time, So I
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: would you know, root for the team that's going to
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: at least be playing there every year. We embrace the
• 27:10
  Speaker 6: trip when we love the city every time we go

  Speaker 6: over there, so we feel like, you know, in terms
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: of the international games that are home away from home,

  Speaker 6: way till through eighth grade, traveled all around the country.
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: Our team was ranked in the nation and all that.
• 27:46
  Speaker 6: So kind of hard to believe it. I was a skinny,
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: skinny little kid, played a lot of sports. But Tacker
• 27:51
  Speaker 6: was the first board and my dad loved it. So
• 27:53
  Speaker 6: we're playing every went to a couple like national camps
• 27:56
  Speaker 6: and all that US identification camp and all that.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: But I think I just played a lot.
• 28:02
  Speaker 6: They morphed in the club teams after eighth grade, and
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: I just grew up playing so many sports that said
• 28:06
  Speaker 6: I can only play.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: Soccer, and I was not about that. I like playing everything.
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: So a lot of my friends playing football. My brother
• 28:12
  Speaker 6: before me had moved to football in high school, so
• 28:15
  Speaker 6: I kind of followed their path and uh for not
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: to be the right path for me.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, what position did you play when you
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: played soccer?
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: When I was really into it?
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: So like, because I played so many sports, like you
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: can't you know, practice year round, but I was on
• 28:29
  Speaker 6: the team doing everything. I started out midfield, was a striker,
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: and then kind of by middle school I was defender.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: Just used my athleticism in my body positioning and stuff.
• 28:37
  Speaker 6: But you know, you don't have as many united technically
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: sound as a as a midfielder when you're defender. But
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: I was still like more athletic and stuff. But yeah,
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: we were really good. We were traveling everywhere, playing everywhere,
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: winning all the time.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: It was fun.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Is it like, is it like another another branch of
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: history where for a little and could be playing soccer
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: right now?
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: I mean I feel like if I really focus, I
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: mean it's it's hard. Could every time I start talking
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: about this sport, nobody believes me. But yeah, going around
• 29:05
  Speaker 6: the guys I grew up around, you told them I
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: played soccer.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: They understand it for sure.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Is there a team that you supported or is there
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: like someone.

  Speaker 3: It was real big in soccer.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Ye're just naming like every English player. So it makes
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: me think that you've been following the England.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: Team, you know, that's what I'm naming it. You though,
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: that was.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, well we could go through the Nigerian team
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: if you want as well.

• 32:02
  Speaker 1: Fan of the Year. We announced him on the podcast
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: that he was going to the NFL Draft. We spoke
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: to him when he came back. He had an excellent time,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: despite both me and Key making it extremely clear about
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: our availability to my calendar. Yeah yeah, Jamie just sort
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: of signed that that a little bit and decided to
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: take his mate Darren with him. So how did that happen?
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Who is Darren? Who is Darren? And what has he
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: got that we.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: Have not Darren Abbott?
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: My question to you is this week's big question. What
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: juicy gossip have you got on Jamie Phillips that he
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: chose you to go to Green Bay with him?
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: Please, I wouldn't want to say anything. It's probably the
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: T shirts.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Oh yes, ah my, can you describe the T shirt
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: to us?
• 32:50
  Speaker 5: Well, it's not the most flash picture of Jamie. We
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: managed his Facebook page. If you shouldn't have wanted to
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: you put things on Facebook.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: So it's a big photo of Jamie, isn't it taking up?
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna going to be conservative and say about two
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: thirds of the whole T shirt and then says Jacks
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Jague is International Fan of the Year twenty twenty five, Darren,
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: Were you wearing that at the draft?
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: Then there is actually a photo circling around and circulating
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: where I actually have my photo taken with the commissioner
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: Roger Goodell.
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, Jamie's seen this photo, right yest. And
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: what was his reaction to that?
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: I think it was a little shocked that while he
• 33:34
  Speaker 5: was on the stage, Roger Goodell came down he was
• 33:37
  Speaker 5: making his draft pick. There I was having my photo
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: taken with him.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: So Jamie has sort of had a photo with Roger
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: Goodell his face hats anyway. Yeah, can you give us
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: your highlight of your draft experience, Darren, because obviously Jamie's
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: given giving us hiss.
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: It was it was the whole friendliness we got over there,
• 34:00
  Speaker 5: and it was the English accent. Everybody was shouting Duval
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: to us. We were responding by I think by the
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: Friday evening Jamie had lost his voice. I certainly had,
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: But it was just the fact that everybody was shouting
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: Duval when obviously it was English. Everybody was coming up
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: to us and talking to us. Photographs taken, the number
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: of people that come we have your photos with you.
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: We actually made the Green Bay Times pull out supplement. Mean,
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: Jamie actually in that in our jag shirt, so we
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: made it quite an impression. So it was the overall friendliness.
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: Everybody in Green Bay was wonderful to us. It really
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: was a fantastic experience. The draft was wonderful, but it
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: was that experience of going to what I would call
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: probably the real America rather than.
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: A big city and somewhere that you know you you
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you've been there before or Darren,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: but you might not have ever anticipated going to to
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: be fair until.
• 35:05
  Speaker 5: I actually got on the plane that Tuesday morning. I'd
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: actually never left the country.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: Wow, this was your first trip abroad and you got
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: to go to the draft.
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah. Jamie sent me a message saying, have you got
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: a passport? I sent you one back saying no, I
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: haven't had a passport at that time.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: So you had to rush to get apart because it
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: wasn't that long notice, was there. I know passports can
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: sometimes take a little while to get so you must
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: have been in a rush to make sure that you
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: can actually go.
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: Well, first of all, he sent the message. I just
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: said to my wife, I think I might be going
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: to America, and she's just up there laughing at me.
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: So it's a case of rushing off to ASDA, the
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: nearest place, and get a photo taken.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: To do passports now Mars it's.
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: Sold on electronically where you they email you the photo.
• 35:58
  Speaker 5: It's sold on electronically and thankfully, but this was on
• 36:01
  Speaker 5: the Saturday. By the following Saturay, I've got the passport
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: on my und It was nerve wracking to start with.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: I'd be threatening that it wouldn't come in time or whatever,
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: but I mean, you managed to get there. What an
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: experience to go to your first you know, NFL event
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: over in the US, your first, your first trip abroad.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, what a what a bucket list thing to
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: tick off, Daran, It was.
• 36:24
  Speaker 5: An experience another lifetime. Of course, it will never happen again.
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure why Jamie really picked me. I will
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: always be for in his debt for it. But we
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: had a fantastic time. And I think one of the
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: comments Vicky's wife did make, and this is going to
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: make you chuckle, she did say, why are you taking
• 36:46
  Speaker 5: Darren is a good bit older than you. We won't
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: mention about the nights. When we got back to the hotel,
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: he was knacking and he went off to bed and
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: we stayed. I stayed in the bar with the rest
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: of them. Gave me Jamie it was a lightweight.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Oh that's funny, that's that's fine. You did you manage
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: to meet up with a load of other Jags fans.
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: Then there weren't actually that many Jags fans in attendance.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: I think that's why we, me and Jamie stood out,
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: and we've got a lot of the shouts to do
• 37:17
  Speaker 5: val there's majority of Green Bay packers. Of course, but
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: I think with me and Jamie and we did make
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: the effort that were wearing the jag skiers all the
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: time to show people that Jags were represented.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, Daran, Can you tell us how you first got
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: into being a Jags fan?
• 37:35
  Speaker 5: Twenty sixteen. I had a friend whose son wanted to
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: go to watch an NFL game. I was getting fed
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: up with Premier League football after being a season ticket
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: older a team that wears red for several years, and
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: I just managed to get tickets. We got on the train,
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: went down to London, me being never I've never actually
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: watched a game before division anything. So in the Premier League,
• 38:03
  Speaker 5: the home teams or was listed first, so of course
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: I picked the Jacksonville Jag. You was thinking I was
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: picking the home awaiting.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Do you thought you were going with the underdog or something?
• 38:14
  Speaker 5: And we beat the Colts that day. I can't remember
• 38:18
  Speaker 5: the exact score, but I know we beat the Colts
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: and it's grown from there.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: I always think it's quite you know, amazing to think
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: back to the fact that that was less than ten
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: years ago. So within the space of ten years, you
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: went from never watching an NFL game ever, yep, to
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: go into the NFL Draft in Green Bay.
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm sure there's a lot of people very embarrassed.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're speaking to two of them right now.
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: Come on, that's why I just mentioned it.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh incredible. I mean, is there a way that
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: you could just sort of, you know, sum up your experience.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: I suppose in a couple of sentences to I suppose
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: to make us just feel that tad more envious.
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: You should really go it's a fantastic.
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, appreciate that. Appreciate you, Darren. Yeah, appreciate that. Thank you. No,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: I mean it's it's incredible. And as you say, you
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: managed to represent the Jags as well and represent the
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: UK too. So I suppose the last question we can
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: ask he is, well, what have what have you got? Darren?
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: What have you got for Jane? We to say thanks?
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: I don't know, as I said, I don't know how
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: I can repay him.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: Jamie's been to take the T shirt off for a start, Darren, No,
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: he loves it.
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: Really. I don't know whether you're aware, but I did
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: organize a trip over to the Nottingham Panthers to the
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: ice hockey and he walks into the pub and there's
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: tent well, nine of us all sat there wearing them.
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: It was a bit of a shock to him, so
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: he loved it really, especially when it's all sat there
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: in the arena wearing these T shirts.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: We had to do it, didn't We.
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: Part of the trip was I was there also to
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: represent Jamie as the international Fan of the Year for
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: the Jaguars. I was there to support him and make
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: his time as moment as a camp and I'm seeing
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: it that even before he took helf a tanking to
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: Green Bay, I look at it that we've got to
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: make his year special and we've got other things planned
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: for him as the year goes along. We've got to
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: make him special. It's a really nice guy. He's supporting
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: me after my cancer diagnosis last year. He was there
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: for me, and I know he would have been there
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: for tracing my wife if she needed him. So he's
• 40:33
  Speaker 5: a great guy. So I've got to make the year
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: special for him.
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: Haven't That's excellent? Man, that's excellent. He couldn't have chosen
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: anyone better to take with him.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: Darren.
• 40:41
  Speaker 5: Honestly, thank you very much for the conflent.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Darren. You're not only celebrating the Jags or the Jags
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: in the UK. But really you're celebrating celebrating the person
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: And I like the fact that it's it's an international
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: Fan of the Year as well. It's not just for
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: that one moment, it's a whole it's a whole year. Yeah,
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: let's celebrate him. You're the first fan that we have
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: spoken to since the l A. Rams has been announced
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: the opponent against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Wembley Stadium.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: What is your take on that fixture?
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: Really looking forward to. I think it's going to be
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: quite a good match up. I'm really looking forward to seeing,
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: of course Trummy Sunter. But the one name that came
• 41:23
  Speaker 5: out of the draft I'm quite looking for is Cayleb Branshaw.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Twu Lane's Kayler Branshaw.
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: Let's go Greenway, Darren, you've done it. You've mentioned too Lane.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: Well done.
• 41:36
  Speaker 5: Sorry, it's just that I watch a bit of the
• 41:38
  Speaker 5: college football, some pickup, but I think he looks quite
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: an exciting pickup.
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: I really do.
• 41:43
  Speaker 5: All the hypes it's going to be about Travis, but
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: I think he's one of the really going to be
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: one of the stars.
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: I think he comes across really well. I like his attitude.
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: He's got a bit of sas to him, which is nice.
• 41:57
