  Speaker 1: Welcome to Teal Talk, the official Jacksonville Jaguars podcast in
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the UK and Ireland, presented by Gallagher. I'm Jay Lawrence. Hey,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: a bit of a different one today. We are out
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: on location. This is nice. This is fresh air. Oh,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: it's nice. I'm enjoying this. All right, I'm Jay Lawrence,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: no relation. And this, of course, is Jason Bell. I mean,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: how's it going, man? You enjoying this week? I'm loving it.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I've got my colors on because I'm representing the Jacksonville Jaguars.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: I'm excited, man. What a game we have on our hands.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: loving this team, coming back from adversity. It's going to
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: be a good time. This is the place to be.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Look at us on location, fresh air. It's game time.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're at the Team Hotel just outside of London.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: And of course, over the last, you know, hour or so,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: we've both sat down with players and you're going to
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: hear from some a little bit later. Antonio Johnson's going
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: to be on the podcast a little bit later on.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: J-Bell will be back and we'll be talking about that game.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: I don't even know if I need to even say
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: who played that game, the Jags-Eagles. The other person that
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: one of us has spoken to over the last hour
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: or so, we share a surname and I'm... very different
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: in stature. J-Bell, you spoke with Trevor Lawrence. How did
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: that go?
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Okay, love Trevor Lawrence, and yes, I spoke with him.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I've been able to do that every year for the
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: past five years or so, and each year I learn
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: something new about him. I mean, he's a great interviewee,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: really gives you a lot, great conversations, but just watching
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: him this year, I was talking about things I saw
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: him do on the field, and his recall of what
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: was happening in those moments was key. And that's the
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: one thing you want to see out of an elite playmaker,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: especially at the quarterback position. Talking a lot about how
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: the demands on him at the line of scrimmage, getting
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: in and out of checks, so many plays he has
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: to be responsible for.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: But yet he's cool, calm, and collective. Love the fact
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: that he showed some emotion out there. Love that. The
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: team feeds off that. He knows it.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: But this is a guy who's playing at the top
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: of the level at the quarterback position. just getting better
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: and we get to see him out here against a
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: great defense but love him big fan of him as
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: we all know but it's because of his humility and
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: his push towards excellence you.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Know one thing I kind of want to know and
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I asked Antonio Johnson this and we'll hear from him
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: as I say a little bit later on but when
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: you have a game like that with such a crazy
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: ending we're going to hear from people from the players
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: in the locker room after shortly as well but how
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: do you And I'm wondering if you even broached the subject.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: How do you put that behind you because you know
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: you've got a game in a few days' time?
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Man, that is a great question because it is so emotional, right?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: So how do you recharge those emotional batteries? Because it's difficult, man.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: You put so much there out on the field, especially
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: at the end of the game. So this is what
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the coach has got to do, and the player has
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: got to be responsible with moving on. Obviously, you want
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: to live in that moment. You want to take it
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: into practice to fix the things that need to be corrected.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: But yet you need to now push forward and you
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: need to remind yourself and you need to constantly be
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: aware of that. Because if you don't, you can go
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: into this game and be flat out exhausted because that
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: game took a lot.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: You know, and you just touched on it a moment
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: ago as well. You said about, you know, Trevor Lawrence
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: showing emotion and that was something that really stood out.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Even watching the game in the stands, this cool, calm
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: and collected quarterback was borderline screaming at his offensive line.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: You know, what did he say about that?
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: You know, you scream at those guys because you have
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: a good relationship there are guys you know you can
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: call out because they're not going to take it personal
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: but everybody else is going to look at it especially
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: when you're close to them like your offensive line and
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: think well if he's screaming at them I better act
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: right and those guys know we're in this together so
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: it's one of those things like you see a head
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: coach always yell at the quarterback because if I'm checking
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: the quarterback everybody else better be aware of what they
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: need to fix so It's one of those things where
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: you go and you talk to guys you really have
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: strong relationships with and you call them out in front
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: of everybody else. So it puts everybody else in check. So,
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, he loves his O-line. I mean, you see
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: how they hang out together. Those are his guys. And
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: when he calls them out, there's a reason for that.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: But I loved it.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: All right, J-Bo, you're going to be back with us
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: a little bit later. A bit of a weird podcast
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: in a way because we're sort of like, you know,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: time traveling because we've already recorded the bit that we're
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: going to speak about a little bit later on. But
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: at the moment, we're going to travel even further backwards.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: We'll go to Sunday. We'll go to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: in the locker room where I spoke to Cam Little,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker, Eric Armstead, Amir Abdullah. and the man with
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns, Parker Washington. Talk to me about the celebration, man.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: You like that?
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Do you know who it was? It was Adebayo, yeah?
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: Bellingham.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Oh, Drew Bellingham. I couldn't get it.
• 4:50
  Speaker 6: You know, I'm obviously not as athletic as he is,
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: so I can't make it look as cool, but yeah,
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: I was copying Bellingham.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: How did that feel? So sick.
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: It's my childhood dream. Like, I grew up playing soccer. Obviously,
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: I want to hit a soccer celebration at a soccer stadium.
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: So it was unbelievable.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: One big question is, what the hell just happened?
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, seriously, I can't even tell you the answer to
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: that question. It went from them hitting a game-winner to
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: me hitting a game-winner.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: It was stupid.
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: But, I mean, dude, it couldn't happen without, obviously, Devon
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: Hamilton coming in for a big spot. People don't realize
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: how hard that snap is. And Amir Abdullah freaking trucking
• 5:25
  Speaker 6: down the field, giving us an opportunity.
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: It's an unreal moment.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Quick message for the Jags fans in the U.K.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: Oh, get in.
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: Come on.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: In your best English accent, can you do that?
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Get in, bro.
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: Come on.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Get in.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Appreciate that.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Appreciate that. Thanks, man. You just talked me through the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: end of that game.
• 5:41
  Speaker 9: Man, it felt like an out-of-body experience, man. We knew
• 5:45
  Speaker 9: we just had to get in proximity, close to the
• 5:48
  Speaker 9: middle of the field. We got a fantastic kicker, so
• 5:51
  Speaker 9: if we can get there, we had a chance. And, man,
• 5:54
  Speaker 9: they gave us a chance on the kick. Perfectly executed
• 5:57
  Speaker 9: by the kickoff return team. Timing was great. And thank
• 6:00
  Speaker 9: goodness I was able to get down in time to
• 6:02
  Speaker 9: go get that field goal. And shout out to Devon
• 6:05
  Speaker 9: Hamilton stepping up at long snapper. A long snapper went
• 6:08
  Speaker 9: out early in the game.
• 6:09
  Speaker 7: He's a D tackle.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: That's not normal.
• 6:11
  Speaker 9: I know a lot of people don't know much about
• 6:13
  Speaker 9: American football, but that's crazy for him to snap and
• 6:16
  Speaker 9: be on cue in that moment for us to get
• 6:18
  Speaker 9: a go ahead to win field goal.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Amazing.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: You know, you got down there, as you say, like
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: a second left. How much of that was on purpose?
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Let's be frank, was it luck to the end of
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: the day?
• 6:29
  Speaker 9: Yeah, no, the thing I had trouble with is the
• 6:32
  Speaker 9: clocks here are in different locations than they are in America,
• 6:34
  Speaker 9: so I knew I had about eight seconds on the kick.
• 6:37
  Speaker 9: And when I got around midfield, I had counted kind
• 6:40
  Speaker 9: of like six seconds in my head, so I couldn't
• 6:42
  Speaker 9: find the clock, so I just got down. I just
• 6:44
  Speaker 9: was hoping so, but we practice situationally, things like that,
• 6:47
  Speaker 9: and I'm just glad we were able to come up
• 6:49
  Speaker 9: with one second left.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Obviously, this is the first of two games the Jags
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: are playing. I mean, the Jags fans in the house today,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, they've just been treated to an incredible end
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: to the game. Have you got a message for them?
• 6:58
  Speaker 7: It ain't over until it's over.
• 6:59
  Speaker 9: And we appreciate you guys coming out and supporting. Once again,
• 7:02
  Speaker 9: we're just a small market.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Team, right?
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: Duval, baby.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Eric, I just want you to explain to me what
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the hell just happened.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: Man, who knows? Football is crazy. You know, you couldn't
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: write a better script, you know, a more entertaining game
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: back and forth. And for it to end in that fashion,
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: you know, it's definitely exciting for a lot of fans.
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: I see why people love football so much. I get excited,
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: you know, even though I'm playing out there in the game.
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: I'm like, dang, I know the people watching were tuned
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: in to this one.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's an unbelievable ending. How was the
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: rest of the game, though, for you? Because, I mean,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: it was kind of like, I imagine it just seemed
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: quite a frustrating game on the whole.
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, there was, you know, ups and downs
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: throughout the game. That's why you just keep playing. You
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: just keep going, keep playing. And give it your all
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: out there, and I wouldn't want to go to war
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: with anyone else besides this team.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: And obviously you've got one more game left in the
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: UK as well. How much of a difference does having
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: this win in this manner make over the next few days?
• 8:02
  Speaker 7: It's huge. It definitely feels good.
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: We've got a division opponent, so we can enjoy this
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: for a little bit, and then we've got to get going.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Appreciate that. Thank you so much. Have you played in
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: many games that ended like that?
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: I'd have played in some crazy games, but this one,
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: it'll definitely have to rank as probably one.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Of the top, I'd probably say top two for sure.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: It's hard.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: I think it might get that one spot for sure.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, you traveled all the way over here. I
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: know you're here for a little while, but you get
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the flight, you've got everything, like the logistics, everything to
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: worry about. I mean, getting the victory is going to
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: be great, but when it's in this manner, it's just
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: so much sweeter, I imagine.
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: 100%, man.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: We definitely didn't travel all this way to just come
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: out here for vacation. We definitely came out here to work,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: but Along while we're out here working, sometimes we might
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: get a little bit of downtime here and there. It's
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: a beautiful place to be, and I feel like we
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: do a pretty good job of, you know what I'm saying,
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: when we're in that mode of what we have work
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: to do, and we're handling business, but once there's that
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: time where we can just relax just a little bit.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: I don't like using the word relax, but you know
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying, when we're not really too much into
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: the football stuff, then we're able to enjoy London.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: People here today that won't be Jags fans, that won't
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: necessarily be Eagles fans, They're here just to see some NFL.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Do you have a message for them?
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: Man, I really want to just say thank everybody for
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: the support, whether they support. Obviously, I want them to
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: support our team, obviously. But obviously, them coming to, you
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, experience something a little bit different
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: from what they're used to, it really means a lot
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: just for them to be able to come out. But, hey,
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: if you don't have a team, we'll accept you right now. But, look,
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: we get later on down the road, man, we might
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: have to cut that window off.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: But we appreciate it.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: We appreciate the support. Parker, man, what just happened?
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Man, we.
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: we won.
• 9:45
  Speaker 10: That's what it's all about so just being able to
• 9:49
  Speaker 10: come up with the win right there that's everything so
• 9:51
  Speaker 10: that's what I'm excited about I.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Mean big game for you as well two touchdowns two
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: like very different touchdowns in a way as well I
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: mean talk me through that catch because that was a
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: fourth down you know five yards to get and there'd
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: been a couple times when you'd been on fourth down
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: didn't manage to get that first down this time it
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: was seemingly all or nothing and you really brought it.
• 10:10
  Speaker 10: Yeah you know that's what it's all about you know
• 10:12
  Speaker 10: you want to be a player that your team relies
• 10:15
  Speaker 10: on in those moments and you just want to rise
• 10:17
  Speaker 10: to that moment and really just fall back to your training.
• 10:20
  Speaker 10: You know, I feel like that's a catch I've been
• 10:22
  Speaker 10: working on and I try to put myself in those
• 10:25
  Speaker 10: situations while I'm training in the off season and me
• 10:29
  Speaker 10: and Trev, that's not the first time we connected on
• 10:31
  Speaker 10: a play like that. So it's just cool to actually
• 10:33
  Speaker 10: do it in a big time moment like that.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: And just, just last question. It seems like a lot's
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: changed for you in 12 months. I mean, I remember
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: we had, we had a conversation about 12 months ago. Um, and,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the last 12 months for you have just been every
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: single game. It's like, can he do another game? No,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: he can't. Like, every single game has just been so
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: impressive from you. Has there been, like, a light bulb
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: that's gone on in this offense for you personally? Has
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: there been a switch?
• 10:56
  Speaker 10: Yeah, just staying present.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Best player I ever played with. Don't listen to him.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Don't listen to him. Jared Jones, just big on Parker
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Washington right now. That's my guy, man.
• 11:07
  Speaker 10: And it's just been just staying present, staying in the moment,
• 11:11
  Speaker 10: and just chop wood, carry water, man.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Just.
• 11:14
  Speaker 10: I just want to be the best teammate I can be.
• 11:15
  Speaker 10: And no matter what my role is each week, I
• 11:19
  Speaker 10: just want to be the best teammate I can be.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: You got a message for the Jags fans here in
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the UK?
• 11:24
  Speaker 10: Duval.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: We're going crazy.
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: Do you know what?
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you do need to take that big step back
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and realize just what a privilege it is to be
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: able to go into the locker room after a victory.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: And not just any victory, of course, as well.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: After.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: A crazy win like that for the Jags against the
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Eagles with that Cam Little field goal. I'm walking into
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: the locker room and just seeing all of these buzzing players.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: It's a massive locker room, you see, because NFL locker
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: rooms are huge. They're not like football locker rooms. They're massive.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: So you're walking around and everybody basically is in different
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: stages of undress, to be honest with you, because that's
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: how it works, you know. You go and speak to
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: them and you don't want to go and speak to
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: them when they're naked because that feels weird. Let's be frank,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: it feels weird. So you wait until they're ready to
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: speak to and And you could tell those conversations, every
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: single one of them was just on such a high
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: after that victory because it was just so insane. So
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: from my perspective, I think that I was just sort
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: of on a cloud a little bit walking around because
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I was just buzzing because I just couldn't quite believe
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: what I just witnessed. And to be able to talk
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: to these players who themselves couldn't quite believe what they
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: had just witnessed was just an incredible Sunday. And if
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: I'm being completely frank, it's one that I don't think
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: that I'm ever going to forget. And you know, it's
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: so lucky as well, because we go from then on
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: Sunday to several days later today, as we're at the
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Jags facility where I get to sit down with a
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: player that I didn't speak to in the locker room
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: to talk about the upcoming game against the Houston Texans
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: at Wembley Stadium. So this is my conversation with Jags
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: safety Antonio Johnson. All right, let's welcome Antonio Johnson to
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Teal Talk. How's it going, man?
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: I'm going well. How are you doing?
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, really good, really good. I mean, look, today is Wednesday.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: We're now a few days after that win against the Eagles.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, are you still thinking about it?
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: How's it going?
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Because what a crazy ending that was.
• 13:10
  Speaker 11: I know, yeah, it was a crazy ending. One of
• 13:13
  Speaker 11: the wildest games I've been a part of since I've
• 13:15
  Speaker 11: been in the league. Kind of, you know, had a
• 13:18
  Speaker 11: few days to, you know, think about it, go over,
• 13:20
  Speaker 11: you know, the game, do corrections, and now... Wednesday, Wednesday
• 13:24
  Speaker 11: coming is kind of the day that we kind of
• 13:26
  Speaker 11: flush the last week and move on to the next opponent.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: How easy is it just to put it behind you?
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, like when you lose, you have to
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: put that behind you. But this is such a specific circumstance,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: isn't it? Where it's just like a wild ending. Do
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: you just have to live it for a couple of days?
• 13:42
  Speaker 11: Yeah, for sure. You live it for probably like the
• 13:44
  Speaker 11: rest of Sunday, Monday. a little bit on Tuesday. And
• 13:47
  Speaker 11: then really when you come into the building and go
• 13:50
  Speaker 11: into meetings on Wednesday, it's next opponent mentality, going to
• 13:54
  Speaker 11: the next, you know, getting ready for Houston this week.
• 13:58
  Speaker 11: It's just kind of life of the NFL week by week.
• 14:01
  Speaker 11: So that's pretty much how I go.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Now, obviously this is going to be your second game
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: in London and the means that you've spent the time,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: you know, in the UK over the last few days,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing you had at least a day off over
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: the last few days. Can you tell me what you did?
• 14:15
  Speaker 7: I did a little shopping.
• 14:17
  Speaker 11: Went down into the city, explored the city, ate at
• 14:20
  Speaker 11: a few restaurants. Did kind of, you know, basic stuff.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: You got to tell me where you, okay, so first
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: of all, where did you go shopping? What did you buy?
• 14:28
  Speaker 7: I went to, not Harris, Selfridge.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Selfridge's.
• 14:34
  Speaker 11: I did a little shopping. I got a few outfits.
• 14:38
  Speaker 11: One outfit for the game. And then I went to Goyard.
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: I got a few bags.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: And then, What about where did you eat then? Because
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: you hear a lot of stuff about where people go
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: and eat in London. So go on, tell me where
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: you went.
• 14:51
  Speaker 11: So I went to, actually the two restaurants are across
• 14:53
  Speaker 11: the street from each other. I went to Sheesh and
• 14:56
  Speaker 11: then I went to Gaia.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah i think that's how you pronounce it yeah.
• 15:00
  Speaker 11: Yeah so i went through those two places good good
• 15:02
  Speaker 11: food good food yeah yeah.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I mean you know people always talk about london having
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: like bad food or whatever i'm sorry like it's good
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: i'm putting out.
• 15:10
  Speaker 11: There no i i appreciate the food out here it
• 15:12
  Speaker 11: was really good um tasteful a little different but it
• 15:15
  Speaker 11: was good.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Uh how have you uh found like walking around london
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: and um you know just experiencing it um i guess
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: being a tourist i.
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: Suppose Oh, yeah. You know, being my fourth year out here,
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: I don't feel too much of a tourist.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: It's your second home now.
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, honestly.
• 15:29
  Speaker 11: But it's kind of like fast paced. You're walking around,
• 15:32
  Speaker 11: you know, a lot of people out on the streets.
• 15:34
  Speaker 11: Kind of give you like a New York vibe. It
• 15:37
  Speaker 11: was just like, you know, the people walking on the street,
• 15:41
  Speaker 11: you know, all the shopping, different stores.
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: You know, it was a good experience. I like walking
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: around out here.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: How is it, like, just going from Jacksonville, which is
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: obviously completely different, to you've come over here, how is it, like,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: you know, early on in the season to you? Is it, like,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: a nice refreshing moment? Is it a moment where you
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: can all band together?
• 16:01
  Speaker 11: Oh, yeah, we look at it as a team bonding experience,
• 16:05
  Speaker 11: you know, get to relax, just have fun with each
• 16:10
  Speaker 11: other outside of just being in the building, go, you know,
• 16:13
  Speaker 11: dinner together or go shopping, just do little things, so, like,
• 16:18
  Speaker 11: When we were on the field, we were just a
• 16:19
  Speaker 11: little bit closer than what we came over here as
• 16:21
  Speaker 11: a team.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Do you bring your family? Do you bring, like, friends over?
• 16:25
  Speaker 11: No, not this year. Last year, I had family and
• 16:27
  Speaker 11: friends come over. But this year, I was pretty much
• 16:29
  Speaker 11: by myself.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they hated it so much. They were like, no,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I can't come again. No, I don't think.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: They hated it.
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: I think more so they dreaded the flight.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Is that right?
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it was the flight, I think, that really got
• 16:39
  Speaker 7: to them this year.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: But it's okay. Well, you know what? They're welcome back
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: any time. They're welcome back any time. I want to
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: talk about.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: The DB room at the moment, some changes in the
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: off season. I want to know what it's been like
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: and how you've, how your role maybe has changed over
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: the first few weeks of the season.
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 17:00
  Speaker 11: Coming into this year, more of a leadership role than
• 17:03
  Speaker 11: previous years. Being the second oldest guy in the room
• 17:08
  Speaker 11: in my first two years, I was the youngest guy
• 17:10
  Speaker 11: both two years.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: That's crazy though, isn't it?
• 17:13
  Speaker 11: Yeah, like my rookie year and my second year in
• 17:15
  Speaker 11: the league, I was the youngest guy in the room. So,
• 17:17
  Speaker 11: that changing like that shift overnight was kind of uh
• 17:21
  Speaker 11: crazy to me but now it's like I enjoy because
• 17:24
  Speaker 11: I get to be somebody that the younger guys come
• 17:28
  Speaker 11: to for you know questions or just navigation in a
• 17:32
  Speaker 11: way so that's been a fun experience for me and
• 17:35
  Speaker 11: then plan wise um It's just been fun. It's just
• 17:39
  Speaker 11: been a fun experience being out there with the guys.
• 17:41
  Speaker 11: I still have a great vet in the room with
• 17:42
  Speaker 11: Eric Murray, just specifically in the safety room. I get
• 17:46
  Speaker 11: to pick his brain all the time and just get
• 17:48
  Speaker 11: to learn a lot of different things from him on
• 17:50
  Speaker 11: and off the field.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: I think I saw a video of you recently actually
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: talking about how, because I think maybe like the Jags
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: social media must have asked lots of different players like, hey,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: what position would you be if you weren't in your position, right?
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: And I think that you said, like when people said like,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: you know, defensive back or safety or whatever, you were
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: just like, nah, they don't want to be, they're not
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: safe because they need to communicate. Like, yeah, to talk
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: about that because you said there's only certain people like
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: maybe the quarterbacks right now that could actually do that
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: job as a safety.
• 18:17
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I was saying the quarterback and the center are,
• 18:20
  Speaker 11: to me, are the two positions on the offensive side that,
• 18:24
  Speaker 11: could correlate to be playing safety because all the communication
• 18:28
  Speaker 11: that go around, like we make the checks. We are
• 18:31
  Speaker 11: the quarterbacks of the defense and you have to be
• 18:34
  Speaker 11: able to, you know, be able to demand and control
• 18:37
  Speaker 11: what's going on out there. It's a lot, it's a
• 18:40
  Speaker 11: lot of toll. It's a lot of tasks and you
• 18:43
  Speaker 11: got to be able to, it's tough mentally and physically.
• 18:47
  Speaker 11: So that's why I feel like the quarterback in the
• 18:49
  Speaker 11: center does most of the communication on offense and, to
• 18:52
  Speaker 11: the line and to everybody else.
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: That's why I said that.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: One person that's been, you know, lining up out wide
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball, Travis Hunter, of course,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: has got a lot more snaps on the defensive side
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: of the ball compared to last year. Tell me what
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: it's like having him playing with you on that side
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: of the ball.
• 19:08
  Speaker 11: Oh, it's fine. Day by day, he's getting better. He's
• 19:12
  Speaker 11: getting used to the scheme and he's getting more comfortable.
• 19:16
  Speaker 11: So you've seen his athletic ability show more and more
• 19:19
  Speaker 11: each time we go out there and, It's fun to
• 19:21
  Speaker 11: see him, you know, go out there, have fun and
• 19:24
  Speaker 11: really just diving into the defensive side and being a
• 19:27
  Speaker 11: physical player and making plays on the ball in the air.
• 19:29
  Speaker 11: So we know he's very talented and it's so exciting
• 19:34
  Speaker 11: to see him when the ball go in the air,
• 19:35
  Speaker 11: to see what he's going to do with it because
• 19:37
  Speaker 11: that's what he do best is make plays in the air.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: One of my favorite plays maybe the entire year was
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: that pick, you know, I'm talking about that pick against
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: the Bengals. What was the reaction in the locker room
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: after that? Because like that, you know, was it T Higgins?
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Like he basically put him on.
• 19:49
  Speaker 11: The floor yeah oh no um we didn't even know
• 19:52
  Speaker 11: that he after he made a miss he looked at
• 19:54
  Speaker 11: him for a slight moment and like when we say
• 19:56
  Speaker 11: I was like oh yeah he's crazy like he he
• 19:58
  Speaker 11: just out there having fun and that's like the best
• 20:01
  Speaker 11: part about it like when when players are out there
• 20:03
  Speaker 11: just having fun and enjoying themselves and making plays like
• 20:06
  Speaker 11: I feel like that's when the team is at its
• 20:08
  Speaker 11: best and um he's.
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: A goofball, so we all made jokes about it in
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: the locker.
• 20:13
  Speaker 11: Room, and that just shows how, like, explosive and dynamic
• 20:18
  Speaker 11: he is as a player when he gets the ball
• 20:20
  Speaker 11: in his hands.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: So Texans-Wembley Stadium, obviously there was a lot of Eagles
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: fans at the last game. I'm thinking it's going to
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: be different. It's going to be a real Jacksonville crowd, hopefully,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: at Wembley Stadium this week. Talk to me about the game,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: and first of all, like, you know, how does it
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: feel for a divisional matchup? Cause there's, there's, there's more
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: to this, isn't there?
• 20:39
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, for sure.
• 20:40
  Speaker 11: Uh, with it being a divisional matchup, it's already going
• 20:43
  Speaker 11: to be a more physical game. And, um, it's more
• 20:46
  Speaker 11: important game than not any other game. Each game is important,
• 20:50
  Speaker 11: but just having that divisional tie down, you know, um,
• 20:53
  Speaker 11: going to our first divisional game this week, I mean,
• 20:56
  Speaker 11: this year, it means a lot to the team. And, um,
• 21:00
  Speaker 11: you know that's how i go to win a division
• 21:02
  Speaker 11: each and every year and then you know going to
• 21:04
  Speaker 11: win a conference so this is just the first step
• 21:07
  Speaker 11: of you know completing those goals.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you've been following the news over
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: the last few days as well texans make a big
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: trade with marvin harrison on the offensive side but i
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: don't know if he's going to be playing you might
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: be seeing him does that change things how you uh
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: how you uh you know um approach the game.
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: Oh no i feel like um We go into each
• 21:25
  Speaker 11: game as, you know, making sure that we're on top
• 21:27
  Speaker 11: of our IQs as a defense. And when we check
• 21:30
  Speaker 11: in our boxes, I feel no matter who's on the
• 21:32
  Speaker 11: other side, we always say it's a faceless opponent.
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: So whoever is out there, it doesn't matter who it is.
• 21:39
  Speaker 11: We just go out there and do our thing and
• 21:40
  Speaker 11: do what we do best is, you know, stop the
• 21:42
  Speaker 11: run and make plays and ball in the air.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Well, look, this is the official Jacksonville Jaguars podcast in
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: the UK and Ireland. What would you say to somebody
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: that's listening to this right now, that doesn't have a
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: ticket to come to Wembley Stadium on Sunday?
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: What are you doing? What are you doing?
• 21:58
  Speaker 11: It's going to be a great game. Get a ticket,
• 22:02
  Speaker 11: find a ticket, come support. And, you know, this is
• 22:06
  Speaker 11: our second home outside of Jacksonville. So we'd love for
• 22:09
  Speaker 11: you all to come and support us.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much, man.
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: I appreciate you.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Jack Safety, Antonio Johnson. And do you know what?
• 22:16
  Speaker 7: He's right.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: He's like, what are you doing? What are you doing
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: if you don't have tickets to Wembley? see the Jags
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: face Houston Texans at Wembley Stadium, as he says himself,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: a big divisional game with tens and tens of other
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: thousands of Jags fans. The atmosphere is going to be crazy.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: There's so much going on before the game outside Wembley
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Stadium as well. In fact, you know what? There is
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: loads going on this week too. So if you haven't
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: got your tickets yet for the game at Wembley, jaguars.co.uk,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: get on there right now. There's so much happening over
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: the next few days as well, including something that's happening
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: Thursday night at the Greenwood Pub in Victoria with myself,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: with Phoebe Schechter, and the man that we heard earlier
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: on in the podcast, Jason Bell. Speak of the devil,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: here he is. All right, welcome back to Teal Talk.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: The NFL's premier analyst, Jags enthusiast, despite the fact he
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: formerly played for the Texans, Jason Bell. I mean, look,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: we'll get onto it this week, man. We'll get onto
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: it this week because your emotions must be everywhere right now,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: but I mean, I want to start, J-Bell, with, in fact,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: I wonder if you can just recall what was going
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: down in the Sky Sports studio when Cam Little got
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: that kick. Because I've seen it on social media, man.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I've seen you excited. I've seen you
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: riled up in really positive ways. But I don't think
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: I've ever seen J-Bell like this.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: That was real raw emotion, first of all.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: And you got to be careful for who is videotaping
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: because I didn't know.
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: Now, once I saw it, I accepted it.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: I dealt with it. And I put it out there
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: because you know what? I will embarrass myself before anybody
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: else will. But that was raw emotion. You know, I
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: love this game. I'm a fan, as you are. It's
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: situations like that that we watch this game for. Yes,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: I was invested. I wanted Jacksonville to win. Ups, downs, turbulence.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: They had to figure it out. Once they did, I
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: was like, this is what it's about. And as a
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: guy who played special teams, I understood the moment for
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: everybody on special teams. And this is why the third
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: phase of the game is so important. So emotions wrapped
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: up in all of that. Loved it as a fan.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: As an analyst, had to do my job. That was
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: pure fandomonium.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Oh, fandomonium. Fandemonium is a big shout at J-Bell.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: I love it. Is it a real word? Because I
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: wasn't sure when I threw it out there. I'm not
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: sure it is, but if it's not, well, I.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Mean, it started today. I mean, surely someone said that before.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: It's too good.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: We're going to take it, man. Two friends talking, we're
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: going to accept it.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: We're going to take it. All right, let's go on
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: with the five big questions. Let's look back on that
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: win against the Eagles. Where was the game won, J-Bell?
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Man, you got to give it up for the moment.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Cam Little.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: You know, Devon Hamilton, making it happen. Snap, the holder,
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: getting it down, the kick.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: That's it, man.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: There were so many people I could have discussed in this.
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: Parker Washington, monster plays.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: But you got to drill it down to the moment
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: because that's what it's all about. And when you think
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: about a kicker that probably was quite uncomfortable mentally with
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: what was happening with the snap, hold, operation, right, that
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: can get into your head, didn't matter. Went out there,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: shook off what had happened before, and made the kick.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: That's what the game's about. So you got to give
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: it up to Cam Little, who is a true, true weapon.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, legitimately. But making that kick in that moment...
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: My goodness, outstanding.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: What about the unsung moment, maybe the under-the-radar moment, J-Bell?
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Oh, we got Devon Hamilton, man. Devon Hamilton, man.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, think about it, man. You know,
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: in Dominican Sioux, I got to give him some love.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: I'm broadcasting the game with him. And he said something
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: I didn't even think about. He was like, man, his
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: shoulder pads aren't even for that. And I was like,
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh, you're right. The tight shoulder pads you're
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: wearing as a defensive lineman, you know, you're trying to snap, everything.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: What I love is the game puts you in positions
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: where you're uncomfortable. Can you overcome them? Can you look
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: at your mistakes? Can you find a way to forget
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: them and move on to the next play? It's always
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: talked about. It's always preached. Can you do it as
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: a player? He did it, man. He moved on to
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: the next play, which was the best play, and came
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: through with a big snap that made it happen. And
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: the holder, Logan Cook, uh, Logan cook, right? Uh, bringing
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: it down that those two, man, you got to give
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: them love.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: What about the game ball? Are we, are we saying it's,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: it's cam littles or who else you got in mind?
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, gosh, game ball, man. Game ball got to be
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Cam Little, man. You got to give it to him
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: with the big kick, man. I know we're repeating the
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: same thing, but geez, without that kick, Philly walks away thinking,
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: you start saying, man, Philly won a big game, you know,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: with a lot of injuries and stuff like that. But
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: when you see a kicker like that coming through, you
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: got to give him the game ball. Special teams all day.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: What needs to improve so the Jags get the win
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: at Wembley?
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: Pre-snap operations.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: I could easily say penalties because that's what it was,
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: but pre-snap operations. One thing I love about this offense
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: is the way Liam Coen... And Trevor Lawrence gather information
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: at the line of scrimmage by shifts, motions, all that
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: kind of stuff. But if you watch, you know, I'm
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: watching the game and I'm always watching the play clock
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: and I'm always watching to see how much they use.
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: And they use a lot because there's a lot going on.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Well, it helps, you know, Trevor made some big throws
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: that one to Parker Washington motion.
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: He identified man to man coverage. He knew he had
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: a slot fade. Boom, hit it.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: You know, all that stuff works. But because of that,
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: all those moving parts, you get penalties. So we got
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: to clean that up. Man, the penalties cannot beat ourself anymore.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: How do the Jags beat the Texans?
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: So this is interesting.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: What you want to do when you talk about the Texans,
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: you talk about their strength, that defensive line can ruin
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: your life. They can ruin the game. You're playing with
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: a backup tackle now because you've had an injury. You've
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: got to protect Trevor Lawrence. So whatever you've got to
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: do to not let those guys take over the game,
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: that's the key. They're going to lean in on that.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: If that happens, it gets miserable real quick. So protecting
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence is essential to make sure you come out
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: with a victory.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: And as a former Texan, J-Bell, talk to me about
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: your relationship when you were playing with the Jags. Is
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: it fair to say you were not a Jags fan
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: when you were playing?
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: It's crazy because, you know, I get traded to that
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: team when it first started. That is Houston, first week
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: of the season. You don't know anything. You don't have
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: any rivals. Like, you're a new team in a new division.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden, the hate was real. I don't
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: know why. From the gate, from the jump. You know,
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: maybe it was because we were scared of Fred Taylor,
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: Freddie T in that running game and what they could
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: do to you and those receivers they had, Jimmy Smith,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Keenan McArdle.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: It was mad real, man. You had to go out
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: there and ball out. So for some reason, we just
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: had real hate.
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: And I'm telling you, the temperature rose when you played
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: that game. Remember, I come from the NFC East, so
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: I was used to all of these rivalries and how
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: it just stepped up as far as competition.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: It was for real. One of the nastiest games.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: I've ever played in each week was when we had
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: to compete with Jacksonville. And it still is like that today.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: When I talk to players about it all the time,
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: I'm like, is it still real? Is it still hard?
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: Is it still hate?
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: And they always confirm that it is.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm excited about the atmosphere and the general vibe,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: to be fair, not just in the stands, but on
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: the field as well this weekend at Wembley. I think
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: it's going to be quite something. How has your last
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: week been then, J-Bo? And what are you doing over
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: the next few days? Because I guess, you know, have
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: you met any Jags players? What do you have lined up?
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Well, you and I got some fun things lined up.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: So I hope the people can come check us out
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: at our event.
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: You'll be hosting. You're a wonderful host. We're going to
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: have a good time.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: And hopefully I don't make your job any harder by
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: talking reckless, but you know I will.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: So this is what we do. But we're going to
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: have a good time.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: We've taken over a bar.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Thursday night at the Greenwood in Victoria. I mean, it's essentially,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: we've been painting at Teal over the last couple of weeks.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: As you can imagine.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: That's exactly right. you know so it's going to be
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: quite because I think there's been there's been events already
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: there over the last couple weeks and you know what
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: Thursday night me you J Bell Phoebe Schechter is going
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: to be there I mean if you're going to be
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: at any one it's the one it's.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: The one it's us It's us.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: This is the one we'll have a good time. And
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: I can't believe how invested I am in this team.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: It is crazy.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: It is absolutely crazy how much a Jags fan I'm in.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: I don't even know how to discuss it. But, yeah,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: met some players last week. Did some cool stuff with Sky.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: I love talking to the DBs, man. Travis Hunter, Jaren Jones,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: Monteric Brown. Really cool. Foye, just amazing players. Antonio, the safety,
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: just good times, man. So met those guys, good vibes,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: felt like I was hanging out when I'm around DBs.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: I was like, please include me. The running backs were like, yeah,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: the running backs, man. I was trying to impress them, man.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: I was like, Basil Tootin and Chris Rodriguez, I'm trying
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: to hang out. They looking at me like I'm crazy.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: They're like, get this guy out of here. I'm like, man,
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: you guys are it though, man. You know, running backs,
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: they were like, they didn't want to include me, but
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: they were cool dudes. Everybody's super cool, man. You forget
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: how big guys are, man. You're standing next to them.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: You're like, geez.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: You just look athletic, but very cool, very fun.
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, Neil Reynolds is a tall man, but I
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: guess when you're standing next to him every single week,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: you forget, oh, actually, do you know what? There are
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: bigger people than Neil.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: And they just look strong, man.
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: I'm not even going to lie.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: You look at them on the sideline, you look at
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: their arms, you're like, oh, yeah, they just throw people around.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: You're just like, yeah, that's what it's about. So it
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: was amazing.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: But yeah, just expressing to them, how much I like
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: their game and I was able to say different things
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: to them about their game, things they do, unique-wise, and
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: how much I appreciate it.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: You know, just pulling the curtain back for a second,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: we're recording this on Tuesday and tomorrow you are going
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: to be meeting up with your man crush, I think
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: it's fair to say, J-Pel.
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: No doubt.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: You've got the butterflies in your.
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: Stomach, haven't you?
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: You're going to be sitting next to Trevor Lawrence having
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: a conversation?
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: First time, I did.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: We've done it so much and I feel like we've
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: got a good relationship. It's more that I'm excited to
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: sit down with an old friend that's doing cool things.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: That's a good way of putting it.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: He knows when we have a conversation that I'm genuinely
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: interested in.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: What he's doing and how he's doing it. I watch the.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Film, so I'll say something that I'm seeing that I
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: have an opinion on.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: It's usually positive, and he's able to give me insight
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: on that.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: So I'm really interested in talking to him about how he,
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: the emotion he showed last week, man.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: I really loved it. You know, with the penalties, just
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: loved it. Just absolutely.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: He had complete command and control of the attitude at
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: that moment. I love the fact that he's cool calm. Like,
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: don't get me wrong. My quarterback needs to set the
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: temperature sometimes. And sometimes the huddle just needs to be, hey,
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: it's all good. But in that, everybody in that stadium
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: that was a Jaguars fans was feeling that emotion.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: From those penalties. And he just let us know, like,
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: this is unacceptable. Loved it.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not about having no emotion. It's about being
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: able to express it, not only in the right way,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: but at the right time to the right people. And
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: I think that was, you know, you just put the,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: you know, hit the nail on the head there, J-Bar.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: I think that the whole stadium was feeling that just
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: at that moment. So, you know what? I'm excited to
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: hear your conversation. And we need to get your prediction
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: for next Sunday. Reece got it closest last week. And
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: I am... Getting up to here with Reece Parkinson, to
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: be honest, J-Bell, because every single week it just seems
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: like he's managing to get closest. We need to up
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: our game. Well, specifically, I need to up our game,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: to be honest with you, because I think I'm letting
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: the team down. Reece got it closest last week, but
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: he was able, he's not here this week, obviously, he
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: was able to leave a voice note to producer Simon
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: in which he gave his prediction.
• 34:40
  Speaker 8: Okay, my prediction, Jags versus Texans. Jags 33, Texans 27. Yeah,
• 34:47
  Speaker 8: that's my prediction. I think it's going to be quite
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: a high-scoring game. I like CJ Stroud, Marvin Harrison Jr.
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: teaming up back together like the college days. I think
• 34:57
  Speaker 8: that's going to have a bit of a boost for
• 34:59
  Speaker 8: the Texans. I feel like they're going to be in
• 35:01
  Speaker 8: good spirits looking to turn things around. I do think
• 35:05
  Speaker 8: the advantage of us being here will kick in. I
• 35:08
  Speaker 8: think last week's narrow escape, we'll be looking to fix
• 35:11
  Speaker 8: a few things as well. So I've got Jags 33,
• 35:14
  Speaker 8: Texans 27.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: Let's do back-to-back in London and march on. March on.
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: That's all I'll say. 33-27, J-Bell, is Reece's prediction. That is,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's close and it's high scoring. What's your opinion?
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: Do you have a different one?
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: So I have a different opinion.
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: I'm going to stick with, My score last week, I'm
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: going to go 24 to 20.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: I'm going Jacksonville. I know it's hard as a Houston guy.
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: It is difficult. I know I had to reckon with
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: this myself. It was an emotional time.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: But yet I had to discover who I was as
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: a pundit and an analyst. And I'm going with Jacksonville. Look,
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: they stopped the run. Make it one dimensional. Find a
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: way to get a turnover. CJ Stroud is playing well.
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: There's no doubt. Neagle Collins on the field, he's a
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: different player. They are struggling in the running game. You
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: got to dominate, make it one-dimensional, make it hard. They
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: might get yards, keep them out the end zone. Got
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: to be able to run the ball on offense, cut
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: down the penalties, and when you have an opportunity against
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: a good coverage matchup, You got to take advantage of that.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: You got a lot of weapons as far as receivers
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: are concerned. You got to look for the right matchup.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: You know they're going to play man-to-man coverage.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: You got to see it. You got to believe it.
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: You got to deliver. This is a big, huge game
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: for this team.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: This will say and give them a lot of confidence
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: and tell everybody in the world that this offense especially
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: can battle with the best defense in the game. D'Amico
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Ryan's takeover play calling. It's been better. Let's see what
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: we got. Now, practice is going to be intense, hard,
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: because the mistakes made last week, they are going to
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: be focused. They know they just got out of this
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: one barely. So they're going to be really, really toned
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: in and honed in on the details.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: And my prediction, I think the unknown factor here, J-Bell,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: is Marvin Harrison on the offense as well, joining the Texans.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: We didn't necessarily see that coming a week ago. Is
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: he going to be in London? Is he going to
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: be playing against the Jags right now? I'm assuming so,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: but we'll have to see. I think this is going
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: to be a close matchup. I think it's going to
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: be a lower scoring matchup than we might expect, but
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: I still got the Jags to win by three. Jags
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: win 2017, J-Bell.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: Ooh, I like that score.
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: I like it.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: I like it, but I have, you know, been worse
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: every single, the least correct, I should say. Not the worst,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: the least correct every single week.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: We need a better strategy, maybe.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: I need to just go as close to Reece as
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: possible and just hope that I get slightly closer. That
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: is a good strategy. You know, I'm just saying, it's
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: like the price is right. I'll see you on Thursday
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: night at the Greenwood in Victoria. We're calling it the
• 38:03
