  Speaker 1: A great Jacksonville Jaguars season is over. This is Tell
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Talk in partnership with Gallagher. I'm Jay Lawrence, no relation,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: He's Key Ramser and Jason Bell here as well to
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: look back at the narrowest of wild card defeats to
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills and an AFC South winning season. So
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: on the podcast today, we're going to drop in on
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the London watch party. It was amazing night despite the result,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: to hear from some fans with myself with Rhees Parkinson
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: as well, and from a couple of British fans who
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: made the trip over to Duval County for the game
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: as well. Had lots to do and what is our
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: last Teal Talk of the season. We're back in the
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: off season with all the jag summertime activity. But first
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: opening statements, Key Jason, how much is it hurt?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Don Jason, I'm exhausted. I'm exhausted.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: I had a lot of emotions tied up in that game,
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: and I tried to stay a neutral fan, especially when
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: doing live broadcast.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: But I couldn't.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: I wore a green blazer, I had green Nikes on.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: I was invested. I was totally invested, and I saw
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: the opportunity. It was there, I mean it was there
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: to be had, and I also saw the game plan,
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: and I also saw exactly what I feared most, which
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: was fourth quarter Josh Allen.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: That being said, what a year.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: You have to applaud this team for what they've done,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: who they become, and I'm very optimistic for the future.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: But as a fan, I would lie to say I
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: was not just mentally and emotionally exhausted.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I think that's a really good way of putting it.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Emotionally exhausted.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: Key, Yeah, a couple of days removed. Now with some clarity,
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: this is so dramatic. With some clarity and being able
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: to reflect on it, I actually am framing this whole
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: season very very very positively. Sunday night hurt, obviously, really hurt,
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: because I think we had the talent.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: To go.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: To go all the way. I think we had the
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: talent to go all the way, and to not do
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: that is obviously gutting. However, two days later you're able
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: to go, do you know what, look at what we
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: did this season from where we came from last season.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Look at what we did that can only be Let's
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: look to next season. That can only be onwards and upwards, man,
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: because what a season we had that can only be
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: moving forwards, it can only be better.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And I also think that the enthusiasm in the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: atmosphere of Jags fans is just it is a completely difference,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: as you say, as it was to not even last year,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: but even a few months ago, when it's almost like
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: this isn't this doesn't have to be a one season
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: good season or even like, you know, a great second
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: half of the season, that's not it. No, No, Jame's
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: gonna run it back, Jane's gonna run it back, and
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: j Bell. You know the Trevor Lawrence you can't underestimate
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the step up that he has had this season with
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Liam Cohen either.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: Well, that relationship has definitely borne some fruit. You can
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: see it. They're confident within each other and that's the
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: main thing. You want your play caller and your quarterback
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: to see the game the same way.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: And you saw that happen. It accelerated quite fast.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: So going into next year, Trevor's going to have complete
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: command of this offense and faith and trust in what
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Liam Cohen's vision is for him and the next year.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: So yeah, you wanted to see this relationship turn out
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: the way it has and Trevor Lawrence plays well. That
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: was a question mark on the season. What is our
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: What does the quarterback look like? Is he the guy
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: we thought he should be and that that has turned
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: out to be true?
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Key, you're so right. If they win this game, their
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: path to the super Bowl looks crispy man.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I mean I saw on your on your predictions, Jay Bell,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: that you had you had the Jags in the super Bowl,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: didn't you.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but this was a hard game. This was a game. This,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: this was the this was the one.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: I was very uncomfortable about this, but I knew, hey,
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: if we can pull this off, the path is pretty smooth.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I didn't like the matchup versus the Texans. I was
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: a little scared of that too, But this was the game.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Well, let's get into the game a little bit more
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: in a moment, but first let's do for the last
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: time this season, Jason's five points. Okay, okay, the Jags
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: suffering a heartbreaking wild card defeat to Buffalo. That was
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the game lost.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, you know what. The game was lost
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: when they found their victim. And I'm not gonna say
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: his name. But as a defensive back, I look at
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: the guy I called the pigeon, the guy they're they're attacking.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: And they attacked the same guy twice, two big plays.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Number six. Man that that hurt me. So you know
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: he got beat on two plays. I always protected guilty.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: I don't say the names, but they attacked one corner
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: and he gave him two big plays, and that's where
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: it was lost.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: The big chunk.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Play just jumping the route, and also the other touchdown
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: on the right hand side on the wheel route. Man
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: just that's that's where it got us. And that's the playoffs.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: It's fine margins. They attacked individuals like every time I'm
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: looking at a game, I'm going, Okay, who's.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: The guy, where's the matchup?
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: And I saw the matchup which was in zone coverage
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: versus a player that didn't react well in zone coverage,
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: known to be a man to man corner, and they
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: attacked him. Man that that as a defensive back, that's
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: where I saw the game was lost.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Which jaguarly is with head held highest.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Parker Washington's the man. Parker Washington, He's he really changed
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: this team. It's gonna be interesting to see how this
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: all plays out next year with Travis Hunter back man, Parker,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: you just just feed him the rock man. He makes
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: it happen two phases of the game. Man, this guy's
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, when you can do what he does on
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: special teams and as a sly receiver, he became the
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: number one target.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Let's be honest.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: Who else stepped up for the team?
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, I got.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: You know, I keep saying, I keep thinking about this question,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: and because it's.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: A loss, I just look at what the head coach did. Man.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I just I'm like when you talk about a shift
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: of a team and the way they played and the
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: resolve and the attitude and the effort. Man, I just
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: look at I just I look at the both coordinators. Actually,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: I like what they both did, so I you know,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: in a loss, I just want to give it overall
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: to Liam Coorn to what he did for this team
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: this season.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: What was the turning point of a key moment?
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: It was that chunk play man for me, you know,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: big play down the field, Brandon Cooks. That was it, man,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: we had it right then and there. That was the
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: moment man. And as a defensive back, man, that's how
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: it is. It's always that one play, just like an
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: offensive tackle giving up a big sack or quarterback throwing interception.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: That was a play to me.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: And what next for Jacksonville.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, let's just chill out, just relax. You know,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: hard man, the season's hard, it's long. You know, you
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: should be proud of yourself, the franchise, the fan base.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: You motivated everybody, everybody was invested. That's what you want
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: to do, man, That's what it's about. This game is
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: about entertainment. You got to entertain the fans. They sacrifice
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: so much to support and they put a good product
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: on the field. They showed passion, they showed desire. I
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: mean even the way they open themselves up is who
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: they were off the field, the interviews, the interactions with
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: all the fan bases.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: That's what it's about. Be proud of that.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: Go off into the off season, figure out the things
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: you need to do to turn the corner. But yeah,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: just give yourself some time because this was emotional.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: Jason, can I ask you a league wide question which
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: comes out of Sunday's game and a decision on fourth
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: and one, which was as we all saw, actually fourth
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: and two to go for it right when you're in
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: field goal territory, and it's happening more and more where
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: teams are going for it instead of taking the three points,
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: Why do you think Why do you think that is?
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: So we can get into a philosophical debate about this,
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: But when you talk about that situation, your quarterback just
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: should have ran over somebody.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Trevor shouldn't have slid.
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: Why aren't we kicking the for the three points there?
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: And it's happening across the league where more and more
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: teams are going for it on fourth down.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: You know this is a scoring league. Who are you
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: playing against? You're playing against? I can only say the
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: matchup right in the matchup, because this is why they
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: make their decisions. They're not making the decisions out of
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: the air. They're not saying this is what the league
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: is doing, so we're gonna do it. They're saying, all
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: right in this game, this is how they play. So
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: this is how we need to play and adjust and
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: do certain things. If your defense is just manhandling somebody,
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: why would you do that?
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: You would punt back them up.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Let it happen if they can't score on offense, right,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: But if they have an explosive offense, especially in the
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: fourth quarter, you're thinking you gotta make it happen. You
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: can't sit back. So that's why those decisions are made.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: It's an overall game planning thing, so not every if
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: you you are not confident in your ability to stop
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: the offense every single time, or say you just had
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: a quick three and our or something and you just
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: need to try to sustain and drive.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: It's all that kind of stuff.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: So the art of it is the feel from the
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: head coach on the environment that you're a call on
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: that play, like what is the reason you're calling it
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: on that down and distance? And that's what we get
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: to evaluate on Monday. So in my point of view,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: it was the right call for that game, okay.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: And the thing is is we can look back on
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: where we can look back at the game and say, oh, well,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: if this happened or if this didn't happen, and blah
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah, then maybe the Jags would have won.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: But it's all relative and everything that happens before dictates
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: what happens after as well, So it doesn't it's not
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: quite as easy as that, is it. So you could
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: say for example, if Trevor got that first down, if
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Cam Little hadn't missed that field goal right at the
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: end of it.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: Sure, there's always f' when it comes to the actual
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: playing of the game. But sometimes with for me, with
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: decision making, I feel like I'm seeing more and more
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: coaches go, let's go for it on fourth down, and
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: we're forgetting that it's possible to kick a field goal
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: and take three points.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Who thinks about that?
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: First of all, is the scoring league the everything favors
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: the offense. The second thing, it allows you to call
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: a different play on second and third down, so you
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: can run the ball on third down and get it
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: closer if you're going to go for it on fourth
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: so you can as a play caller.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: It just gives you an extra down.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: And what are most of these coaches, what are most
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: of these head coaches offensive side of Yeah, you know.
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: Do you think at the start of a drive, they're
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: already thinking we're probably going to go if we get
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: a fourth we're probably going to go for it. They're
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: not deciding that on fourth down.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Down in distance where you're on the field. Now, if
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: we're on this yard line and it's fourth and one,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: we're going for it.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll know that.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Still got to make a decision and go, oh my gosh,
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: my guard just went out.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I can't call it now.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: It's so it's it's the reason we get to valuate
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: and you make a good question and good and analysis
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: is because that's what head coaches do. Where is the environment?
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: You know, it's all changing. I don't know. I don't
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: know my guy.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: You know, he you know, I just watched it. He's
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: he's not confident in blocking that guy.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: That guy is manhandling my guy or my dude is
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: pushing him out of the way. Three downs in a row,
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: we're gonna run it like he's beating him up. So
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: all those kind of things coming to the equation. But
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: that is the art of being a head coach. Situation,
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: where's your team?
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: All of that.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I think that what makes this this loss probably hurt
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: more from a Jags fan perspectives. If it really felt
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: like the aarc was open. It was, it was wide open.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: The one thing that I would say, and let's just
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: get your two takes on this before we move to
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: the predictions, which was not good for me. This doesn't
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: need to be that one year that the Jags have
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: there is all chums or likelihood that there will still
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: be opportunities over the next few years. I didn't think
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: we're in a situation now where the Chiefs are the
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: they are getting to the championship game, they are getting
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. You know, we're in a situation
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: where there are now teams that can try and fill
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: that void, and Jaybell, I think the Jags could be
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: one of them.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: They can. Now this is all the leaders in the
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: locker room. What do I mean by that? When you
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: go into your off season workouts, how do you go
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: about your business? How do you train? When you practice?
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: What's the intensity? Like, what's the focus? Are you thinking
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: about the mistakes that were made that you can correct
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: because now you understand the fine margins. So now the
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: leaders are like, hey, we understand. We can't allow this
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: to happen in practice because it beat us here and
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: you start to develop that muscle. That way you go
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: about your business. That's what the great teams do. It
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: starts day one and like I said, your leaders, which
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: you have good leaders in that locker room. You got
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: good players that work hard, which is the key. Your
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: money your players that make the most money.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Work hard and that helps a lot.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: But you got to go about your business every single
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: day thinking about those moments and how the next time
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: when you face them, they're not going to defeat you.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: I don't want to, but I feel like we should
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: move on to the predictions. None of us predicted a
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills win thinking about it, and I know this
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: isn't really like you know, part of the.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: Don't be that guy, Jo, And I tell you why
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: I should have. I'm glad that you didn't.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I tell you why I should have held it against you,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: because tactically, if I wanted to win, this is probably
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: what I should have done. It's not how I roll,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: especially not in the playoffs, especially not in the playoffs.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: So our predictions league has finished. Jay Lawrence, no relation
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: on fourteen the.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Points, very respectable, Jay.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Key, Ram Suran, the unpredictable member of the lot. Sixteen
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: points to hang on.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: That's how many above you?
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Is that?
• 15:15

• 16:42
  Speaker 3: And we didn't even have a wet suit on. We
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: were out there in the colt. It didn't matter. We

• 23:33
  Speaker 1: is a prize.

• 23:38
  Speaker 1: team as well, second place team signed fo luk On Jersey.

  Speaker 1: to see a game of their choice at Craven Cottage.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: So you go down, you go down to the pub
• 24:10

  Speaker 1: sign Trevor Laura's jersey and four tickets to a home
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Fulham game. Come on, very good.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: It worked out for you. Now.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: It wasn't just the British fans in London watching this game,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: also a couple British fans who ended up going all
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: the way to Duval County, all the way to EverBank
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: to watch the game itself. Joel and Ben, what was
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: it like.
• 24:33
  Speaker 8: We've had a tremendous time. It's been an amazing four
• 24:36
  Speaker 8: day break. Although we didn't get the win, we had
• 24:38
  Speaker 8: some amazing experiences.
• 24:40
  Speaker 11: We had an amazing time. Our seats were incredible, right
• 24:42
  Speaker 11: at the front of the end zone. We saw two
• 24:44
  Speaker 11: touchdowns in front of us. We felt like we could
• 24:46
  Speaker 11: touch the players. That's how good it was. There were
• 24:48
  Speaker 11: points in the game where everyone was waving their towels,
• 24:51
  Speaker 11: getting loud, boosting the team. Unfortunately the job couldn't be done,
• 24:55
  Speaker 11: but the foundation of the bill, it's only going to
• 24:58
  Speaker 11: get better and better.
• 24:59
  Speaker 8: I think we should have run the ball a bit
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: more because Tutor was playing well and eat and was
• 25:03
  Speaker 8: amazing when we gave him handoffs on the outside.
• 25:06
  Speaker 11: Whilst being in Jacksonville, we met so many amazing people,
• 25:09
  Speaker 11: tried new things, transportation on golf buggies, playing disc golf,
• 25:15
  Speaker 11: eating amazing food, meeting great people. As I said, and
• 25:19
  Speaker 11: these five days in Jacksonville have been absolutely unforgettable and
• 25:23
  Speaker 11: some of the best moments of our life. We've created
• 25:25
  Speaker 11: so many memories. There is no doubt we will be
• 25:27
  Speaker 11: back in Jacksonville very soon.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: Amazing for Joel and Bent to go over there. And
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: yes it wasn't the result that they wanted, but it
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: sounds like they had an unbelievable few days. You know,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: imagine that, you know, going down for a playoff game. Yes,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: again it wasn't the result you wanted. But the one
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: thing I would say, and you know Joel and Bent,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: you know I mentioned it there, but you could see
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: on TV, couldn't you the atmosphere there it was just
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: you could tell that the whole of the city was
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: just behind the team.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: I've never been to a playoff game, but I feel
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: like they feel different. Tournament phase is like it's different,
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: isn't it.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: The energy is unreal, fellas, It's on. Everything is so fast.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: I mean you can feel it in the stands, the fans,
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: you know, the hope, everybody you just here an inch away,
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: and I mean you feel that pressure on the field.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: And I'm telling you all of a sudden. I mean,
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: you know, the.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: Last week game it was it was fast or whatever.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: But this it's like everybody is fresh man. It's fun,
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: it's it's intense. It's like nothing I've ever experienced.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, so that's that for the twenty five twenty five season.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Podcasts will be here throughout the off season if you
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: had to hear an episode at the end of each
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: month's key. First of all, can I have your closing
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: thoughts on the season?
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: My closing thoughts on the season are I look back
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: on this season and go, yeah, absolutely fantastic. But more
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: than that, I look forward to next season because I think.
• 27:07
  Speaker 10: I haven't even got on my vacation yet.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: He's like, I need more, Jason.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: He's just like, it's week one, next week. Why isn't
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: it next week?
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: You know, I'm trying to get I'm trying to get
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: my knees back, and.
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: I'm ready, Jason.
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: I am ready.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: Like I'll watch the super Bowl, sure, but I'm ready
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: for the week one, week one of the regular season.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: I'm ready.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: I always as a player, I always used to hear
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: people talk about.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: That and I was like, I need to rest.
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: Do you know what one thing I'll say right? Standout
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: moment for me actually happened in training camp And the
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: reason for that is because I was fortunate enough to
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: sit in on a chat between James Gladstone, Tony Baselli,
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: and Bryce Parkinson and re said to them, what's the
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: goal for this season? And their answer was the goal
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: is to keep on getting better and they did that.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: And I think that for me is the standout moment
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: of the whole season. Happened in training camp. For them
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: to say that and do it, I think spectacular. I
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: have such faith in this organization as it currently stands.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: I think only good things ahead.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Man j Bell. If there are any fans out there
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: that are feeling quite rightly, you know, disappointed or sad
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: with how the season ended? What was what wors of
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: encouragement would you give them?
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: I would say it's okay to feel like that because
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: you were invested, and that's good. That's being a good fan.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: The thing about the NFL is everybody's except one. Everybody
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: except one team is going to go back home and think, man,
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: you know, oh you know, it didn't work out. So
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: because of that, you got to find the positives. And
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: it's quite easy to see. You got your quarterback, you
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: got your code, you got a foundation.
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: That is what matters.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: There's so many teams in the NFL chasing that those
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: simple things, so many question marks. Well you've answered that.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: Now it's about building. The foundation dried a lot faster
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: than we thought. So now this building is going up.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: Oh and have you used that line before?
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: John, I just came out of it just it just listened.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: New stadium as well.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: Oh this is what I do, Fellas. I don't even
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: know where it comes from. You know, eight concussions, it
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: don't matter, just just this.
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: It's rolling.
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: So anyways, now that you threw me off my game,
• 29:39
