Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: It's there.
- 0:02Speaker 2: One degrees in Jacksonville, fourteen degrees in Burnley, fifteen degrees
- 0:07Speaker 2: in Dublin.
- 0:08Speaker 1: This is Till Talk, the official Jacksonville Jaguars, UK and
- 0:11Speaker 1: Island podcast, presented by Gallagher.
- 0:13Speaker 2: I'm Jay Lawrence. No relation Key ramsurens here as well.
- 0:18Speaker 3: That pauses getting longer.
- 0:19Speaker 1: It's gonna be half an hour before long.
- 0:23Speaker 2: Jason Bell is going to be breaking down the Jags
- 0:25Speaker 2: performance against the Cincinnati Bengals and looking at what needs
- 0:28Speaker 2: to happen when we face the Texans this weekend. Plus
- 0:31Speaker 2: a bit later on, actually we're going to speak to
- 0:33Speaker 2: UK Jags fan Dylan.
- 0:34Speaker 1: Dylan went over to Florida for Week one.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Fair to say, he struck up quite a romance with
- 0:41Speaker 2: one particular Jaggs player, which I'm very excited to hear about.
- 0:45Speaker 3: I heard a little bit about this, but yes, I'm
- 0:47Speaker 3: very excited to hear more. Some good stuff coming up today.
- 0:51Speaker 4: Man oh.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Friend of the podcast, Jaggs Boyer Lookan joins us a
- 0:55Speaker 2: little bit later on Until Talk as well. Okay, the
- 0:58Speaker 2: Jaguars one and one on a high scoring game in
- 1:01Speaker 2: Cincinnati went back and forth. Jags couldn't quite finish the job.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Thirty one, twenty seven to the Bengals, and it really
- 1:08Speaker 2: felt as well that the game was sort of there
- 1:11Speaker 2: for the winning as well, because the Jags it felt like,
- 1:14Speaker 2: controlled it for the majority of the game. So I
- 1:17Speaker 2: would put this one down as a frustrating lost.
- 1:20Speaker 3: Key Jay, you can ask me all the questions you
- 1:23Speaker 3: want today. I am going to brush you off, wave
- 1:26Speaker 3: you away with a simple hand gesture. You can stay
- 1:28Speaker 3: on the sideline beating your chest.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.
- 1:31Speaker 3: There's a lot of people talking about this moment. I
- 1:34Speaker 3: look at that and go there are two people who
- 1:36Speaker 3: care about winning, and that's it. Explain what happened Trevor Lawrence.
- 1:40Speaker 3: For arguments, they go overthrew right. So coach Cohen is
- 1:43Speaker 3: on the sideline banging his chest, saying, aim at the chest,
- 1:47Speaker 3: Aim at the chest. Trevor Lawrence waves him away with
- 1:50Speaker 3: a hand gesture to say, obviously, I know where to aim.
- 1:55Speaker 3: People are reading into it communication problems, relationship problems between
- 1:59Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence and coach Coen. Absolute nonsense. There are two
- 2:02Speaker 3: people who care about winning. That's what happened in that moment.
- 2:05Speaker 2: Let's move on, please, Well, let's talk about a couple
- 2:08Speaker 2: of moments in the fourth quarter as well, it looked
- 2:11Speaker 2: like the Jags could sort of ice the game if
- 2:13Speaker 2: Brian Thomas Junior was able to catch a ball. And
- 2:15Speaker 2: there was also a part interference call on Travis Hunter
- 2:18Speaker 2: as well, which to me, people are speaking about this
- 2:21Speaker 2: but not maybe to the same extent that was such
- 2:24Speaker 2: a killer against the Ben Gord And I look at
- 2:26Speaker 2: that and I think, I don't see this. I think
- 2:29Speaker 2: that Travis Hunter, I think the Janks would treat badly
- 2:30Speaker 2: on that particular call.
- 2:31Speaker 3: Key, So I agree with you, But I also think
- 2:36Speaker 3: throughout the season, all of these calls work themselves out,
- 2:40Speaker 3: level themselves out. It's easy as fans to focus on
- 2:43Speaker 3: what we consider to be a bad call. Yeah, it
- 2:45Speaker 3: probably was a bad call, but next week we'll have
- 2:48Speaker 3: three calls go in our favor against the Texans. So
- 2:52Speaker 3: I think let's move on from that. What we need
- 2:55Speaker 3: to be thinking about. There were plus sides on both
- 2:58Speaker 3: sides of the ball. There were things that looked really,
- 3:00Speaker 3: really good. We're not gonna win games if we're beating ourselves.
- 3:04Speaker 3: We've talked about it so many times, and this is
- 3:07Speaker 3: an age old culture thing. If we're giving away penalties,
- 3:10Speaker 3: if there are missed opportunities, drop balls. We're not gonna
- 3:13Speaker 3: win games if we're beating ourselves. And for me, that's
- 3:16Speaker 3: what happened on Sunday, And that's where that you're using
- 3:19Speaker 3: the word frustrating. I completely agree that that's what was frustrating,
- 3:22Speaker 3: is we beat ourselves on Sunday. We should have won
- 3:24Speaker 3: that game.
- 3:25Speaker 2: Well, let's look at the positives in that particular game
- 3:27Speaker 2: as well. I think we've had two weeks now where
- 3:29Speaker 2: the offense has shown growth since last season.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Yes, the victory wasn't it.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Yes, there might have been some players who didn't work
- 3:37Speaker 2: out exactly how the Jags offense wanted it to work out.
- 3:40Speaker 2: But generally speaking, this early on in the season, I'm
- 3:44Speaker 2: feeling all right, particularly about how the offense is playing.
- 3:47Speaker 3: Oh. I did not come out of I came out
- 3:50Speaker 3: of Sunday frustrated. As you said. Am I worried about
- 3:52Speaker 3: what's happening with the Jaguars. Absolutely not. There was too
- 3:55Speaker 3: much good stuff there to be worried about it. And
- 3:57Speaker 3: the things that can be fixed are relatively he fixes.
- 4:00Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm not worried. I think I think we'll
- 4:02Speaker 3: be fine. And also, like we said in Week one,
- 4:05Speaker 3: going up against the Panthers. The Texans are not looking good.
- 4:08Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's what I was going to say.
- 4:10Speaker 2: Say next Yeah, it's a really interesting game and we'll
- 4:14Speaker 2: talk a bit about that of course with Jason Bell.
- 4:15Speaker 2: Will be on shortly Texans next six pm UK time Sunday.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Feels like a big game this early on in the
- 4:23Speaker 2: season because the Jangs can make it two and one.
- 4:26Speaker 2: The Texans they just lost on Monday Night Football to
- 4:30Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers within the last twenty seconds. They're
- 4:33Speaker 2: oh and two right now. This is the team that
- 4:35Speaker 2: I think it's fair to say are the favorites or
- 4:38Speaker 2: were the favorites anyway in the AFC, and it south
- 4:41Speaker 2: completely looks, you know, slightly lopsided, as suppose with Indianapolis
- 4:45Speaker 2: colds now.
- 4:45Speaker 3: Thought I was looking at the standings today and I
- 4:47Speaker 3: was like, this table looks almost like it's upside down.
- 4:50Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:50Speaker 2: But what makes it so exciting, I think from a
- 4:52Speaker 2: JAG's point of view, is that this is a real
- 4:55Speaker 2: opportunity early on in the season to get ahead in
- 4:59Speaker 2: the division, in especially above a team that beat the
- 5:04Speaker 2: Jags twice last year.
- 5:05Speaker 3: Key Yeah, revenge time, revenge time. Titans aren't looking great.
- 5:10Speaker 3: Texans aren't looking great. Colts are looking all.
- 5:13Speaker 2: Right to and no right there, they were just a
- 5:15Speaker 2: kick away from losing a penalty away from again They're
- 5:18Speaker 2: not looking So it feels like an opportunity early on
- 5:21Speaker 2: this and I think that starts with this Sunday. All right,
- 5:24Speaker 2: let's welcome NFL pundit Jason Bell to til Talk, who
- 5:27Speaker 2: course actually played for Texans in their first two seasons
- 5:31Speaker 2: that broke many bones in a Houston Jersey.
- 5:34Speaker 1: He's joining us. Jason, Hello, how's it going.
- 5:37Speaker 4: What's up? Fellas? Are as good?
- 5:39Speaker 5: Another week of NFL football to have great conversations, and
- 5:42Speaker 5: it's time to talk about the chair Wars.
- 5:44Speaker 3: Baby love it Jason. First things first, Jaguars Texans coming up.
- 5:49Speaker 3: You are one of the only people in the world
- 5:52Speaker 3: that can talk about this unique rivalry. You used to
- 5:54Speaker 3: play for the Texans and now you are a self
- 5:57Speaker 3: confessed exclusive Jaguars fan.
- 6:00Speaker 4: This is a fact. I don't know how this happened.
- 6:03Speaker 4: I do know how this happened.
- 6:05Speaker 5: It's my love for Trevor Lawrence anyways, So this is
- 6:09Speaker 5: crazy because I was on that first team right in
- 6:11Speaker 5: two thousand and two. I believe and we were an
- 6:14Speaker 5: expansion team and we had no rivals, right like, we're
- 6:18Speaker 5: just trying to figure it out. But all of a sudden,
- 6:21Speaker 5: that hate that became of that game was so crazy.
- 6:26Speaker 4: We hated each other.
- 6:27Speaker 5: Like I'm telling you, I had come from the NFC East,
- 6:30Speaker 5: where you know, you got the Giants playing the Cowboys
- 6:32Speaker 5: all that kind of stuff, and it was that kind
- 6:35Speaker 5: of intensity when we played each other. I mean it
- 6:38Speaker 5: it went to another level and every time we played,
- 6:42Speaker 5: we knew it was going to be a fight when
- 6:45Speaker 5: we played each other. And it's still like that to
- 6:47Speaker 5: this day. And I don't know how it developed. I
- 6:50Speaker 5: don't know who knew who on the other team, but
- 6:53Speaker 5: my goodness, it was fun and it was scary. We
- 6:56Speaker 5: used to come out bruised and beat up and I
- 6:59Speaker 5: loved it.
- 6:59Speaker 4: Man.
- 6:59Speaker 5: I have so much respect for those guys because of
- 7:03Speaker 5: the games we used to play against each other.
- 7:05Speaker 2: I mean, you've got to talk to us about one
- 7:06Speaker 2: of your teammates back in two thousand and two, first
- 7:08Speaker 2: season of course of Houston in the NFL, your teammate
- 7:12Speaker 2: Tony Biselli. Can you share some memories of Tony?
- 7:17Speaker 5: First of all, Tony was the man like when he
- 7:19Speaker 5: came in there, he was such a baller. He was
- 7:22Speaker 5: I mean, he was one of the best tackles in
- 7:24Speaker 5: the game. But he had a shoulder injury, so he
- 7:26Speaker 5: spent a lot of time kind of trying to rehab
- 7:29Speaker 5: and get back on the field, and we had a
- 7:30Speaker 5: lot of hope because obviously the dominant player he was,
- 7:34Speaker 5: so guys that are rehabbing, you got a lot of
- 7:36Speaker 5: time to talk with him, chit chad, have conversations, and
- 7:39Speaker 5: he was a guy that a lot of people wanted
- 7:40Speaker 5: to talk to because obviously perential pro bowler and you know,
- 7:44Speaker 5: just overall could help you out and how you could
- 7:48Speaker 5: be a pro, you know, a better pro. So I
- 7:50Speaker 5: just remember him having a lot of conversations with young guys,
- 7:53Speaker 5: and I have a lot of respect for guys like that,
- 7:55Speaker 5: because people coming into the league they need a little guidance,
- 7:59Speaker 5: a little help in their for those leaders to do it,
- 8:01Speaker 5: and Tony had time for people.
- 8:02Speaker 4: Man, So he was always a leader.
- 8:05Speaker 5: What he's doing now doesn't surprise me at all because
- 8:07Speaker 5: he always had a he always had a strong voice
- 8:10Speaker 5: in a leadership role on the team. So it totally
- 8:13Speaker 5: makes sense. And he knows ball that's one thing. He
- 8:15Speaker 5: understands ball. He was coached by Tom Coughlin, who is
- 8:19Speaker 5: a disciplinary.
- 8:20Speaker 4: And can put a program together.
- 8:23Speaker 5: You know, he was my head coach when I was
- 8:25Speaker 5: with the Giants, and I had a lot of respect
- 8:26Speaker 5: for him.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Also, Tony visaid, of course, wh's the executive vice president
- 8:30Speaker 2: of football Operations, which honestly, I think is the best
- 8:32Speaker 2: title you can possibly get in the NFL as well.
- 8:35Speaker 4: All right, j getting them checks, man, you know he's
- 8:37Speaker 4: a smart out.
- 8:38Speaker 5: You know when you get by your name and oh,
- 8:41Speaker 5: he just checks.
- 8:45Speaker 2: Let's talk about how we we beat Houston in a moment,
- 8:48Speaker 2: Jaybell first, So let's talk about Week two.
- 8:51Speaker 1: How was the game won and lost against the Bengals.
- 8:55Speaker 5: Well, when I look at the game, and I just
- 8:57Speaker 5: checked it out again this morning because I wanted fresh
- 8:59Speaker 5: eyes on it. And when you look at the game,
- 9:02Speaker 5: you look at the flow, it tells you a lot.
- 9:04Speaker 5: I mean, you can even throw out the X and o's,
- 9:06Speaker 5: but how do you feel? And I felt like there
- 9:08Speaker 5: was just a ton of miss opportunities. And when you
- 9:11Speaker 5: are a team that is trying to build your identity,
- 9:15Speaker 5: you cannot make those mistakes. And let me back it up,
- 9:18Speaker 5: this week in practice, it's going to be all about
- 9:22Speaker 5: when they put that film up there and they're talking,
- 9:24Speaker 5: it's going to be fellas.
- 9:26Speaker 4: We can get this right. Let's go back.
- 9:28Speaker 5: To the basics, because all the mistakes were on them.
- 9:32Speaker 4: They were things they can correct.
- 9:34Speaker 5: These are coachable moments and when you show it happened
- 9:37Speaker 5: in a game, now you're going to practice and you're like,
- 9:40Speaker 5: all right, I see where that lack of discipline impacted
- 9:43Speaker 5: this entire game, this entire organization. And you start to
- 9:47Speaker 5: work on those and you start to repeat them over
- 9:50Speaker 5: and over and over, and you don't get bored of
- 9:52Speaker 5: it because you understand they creep up in the games,
- 9:55Speaker 5: and that's what they're doing this week. That's the positive
- 9:58Speaker 5: because when I look at it, they beat themselves, period,
- 10:02Speaker 5: missed opportunities. Now, I do like the fact that that
- 10:05Speaker 5: running game got rolling, and I feel like you need
- 10:07Speaker 5: to lean in on that a little more. Liam carn
- 10:09Speaker 5: I like his play designs, the motions, the shifts. It's
- 10:12Speaker 5: a lot of movement, which is difficult for a defense.
- 10:14Speaker 5: I really respect that. But I remember it was a
- 10:16Speaker 5: third and two and he threw the ball and I thought, man,
- 10:19Speaker 5: I was in the flow of the game. I'm like,
- 10:21Speaker 5: I understand what you're doing, and you're trying to catch
- 10:23Speaker 5: them off guard because they're kind of you know, they
- 10:25Speaker 5: stacked the box.
- 10:26Speaker 4: They had eight people up there.
- 10:27Speaker 5: But I'm like, run the rock, you know, run the rock,
- 10:30Speaker 5: run it and then get in those positions where you
- 10:33Speaker 5: got to throw it, and then you can design some
- 10:35Speaker 5: of your best plays to make it happen. I know
- 10:37Speaker 5: I'm talking a lot, but I got a lot on
- 10:39Speaker 5: my mind here, Fellas. The second thing is Brian Thomas Junior, right,
- 10:42Speaker 5: the big drops. Hey, listen to me, Fellas. I'm telling
- 10:46Speaker 5: you this guy can play. So what you gotta do
- 10:48Speaker 5: this week, You're gonna run the ball and then when
- 10:51Speaker 5: you play action pass, you're gonna throw that ball over
- 10:53Speaker 5: the middle. End traffic in a good place, right, But
- 10:57Speaker 5: you need to let him catch the ball over the middle,
- 11:00Speaker 5: get hit, get up, and everybody on that sideline, on
- 11:04Speaker 5: his sideline is going to cheer for him.
- 11:06Speaker 4: You got to get him involved.
- 11:08Speaker 5: You got to take all the question marks out of
- 11:10Speaker 5: his toughness and put it in his hands and let
- 11:13Speaker 5: him show up for the team. Because he doesn't care
- 11:15Speaker 5: about the noise outside. It isn't about what the media
- 11:18Speaker 5: is saying. It's about what your locker room is saying.
- 11:22Speaker 5: What are your teammates saying? How are they looking at you?
- 11:24Speaker 5: That impacts us that for sure, Fellas like we want
- 11:29Speaker 5: to be we everything we are, and what our reputation
- 11:34Speaker 5: is built on is how our teammates.
- 11:37Speaker 4: Look at us.
- 11:38Speaker 5: So you got to get him the ball, You got
- 11:41Speaker 5: to get him involved and let him redeem himself. And
- 11:44Speaker 5: I think those are some of the things I look
- 11:45Speaker 5: at when I'm moving forward. And the mistakes that were
- 11:49Speaker 5: made on the field, I think right now, if you
- 11:52Speaker 5: just focus on those, I think there's a chance it.
- 11:55Speaker 1: Was on Stamine. Do you reckon in the game?
- 11:58Speaker 5: I like both the running backs, to be honest. I
- 12:01Speaker 5: like what the running backs are doing, man, moving the chains.
- 12:04Speaker 5: There was a lot of pressure on Etn on who
- 12:06Speaker 5: he was going to be this year. He's got a
- 12:07Speaker 5: lot of popping his game. I mean when he scored
- 12:10Speaker 5: that touchdown.
- 12:11Speaker 4: Man.
- 12:11Speaker 5: I like the fact that they get them the ball
- 12:12Speaker 5: in the perimeter. I like what they're doing. I like
- 12:15Speaker 5: tooting a young kid and how he runs the ball.
- 12:18Speaker 5: So I really like that. You know, the unsung hero
- 12:20Speaker 5: to me is the offensive line man, offensive line is
- 12:22Speaker 5: holding up.
- 12:23Speaker 4: I like what they're doing.
- 12:25Speaker 2: He's an improvement, you know. It seems to be an
- 12:26Speaker 2: improvement since last season in both those the offensive line
- 12:29Speaker 2: and in the running game.
- 12:30Speaker 4: Hey man, we love to see the ball throwing over
- 12:32Speaker 4: the yard.
- 12:33Speaker 5: Liam Collen man the way he was designing them run
- 12:35Speaker 5: plays at his former team. This is what I'm seeing now.
- 12:38Speaker 5: So I like that. Man, It's the basics. Let's get
- 12:41Speaker 5: to the basics. Let's run the ball. The defense is
- 12:43Speaker 5: getting turnovers. We got to capitalize it. One thing you
- 12:46Speaker 5: have to do. Good quarterbacks are evaluated in two places,
- 12:50Speaker 5: what they do on third down and what they do
- 12:52Speaker 5: in the red area. So that's going to be an emphasis, right, Hey,
- 12:55Speaker 5: you gotta throw the ball third down, Trevor. You got
- 12:57Speaker 5: to pick up a first boom. Make that happen the
- 13:00Speaker 5: red area. You can't make mistakes. We see, we got
- 13:02Speaker 5: to overcome that. You clean that up this week. You
- 13:06Speaker 5: can have success. But if you run the ball, take
- 13:10Speaker 5: you take a lot of that pressure off of him.
- 13:13Speaker 4: And I think that's what they're going to emphasize this week.
- 13:16Speaker 1: What was the key moment that we might have missed.
- 13:19Speaker 5: There's a lot on Travis Hunter's plate. You know, they're
- 13:22Speaker 5: trying to do a lot with him, and I know
- 13:24Speaker 5: he got the PI. But for me, it was that
- 13:28Speaker 5: third down when they caught the out route in the
- 13:30Speaker 5: flat and it was a basic combination where you have
- 13:34Speaker 5: a flat slant and the flat is open, and as
- 13:37Speaker 5: a defender, I know on third and short or fourth
- 13:41Speaker 5: and short with a right handed quarterback, that's the route.
- 13:45Speaker 4: You just know it.
- 13:47Speaker 5: And the fact that it wasn't covered lets me know, Man,
- 13:50Speaker 5: that was a big play in the game to me,
- 13:51Speaker 5: and it lets me know, Man, is there too much
- 13:53Speaker 5: on his plate? This is something he can work on.
- 13:55Speaker 5: This is something that can correct. This is a communication
- 13:58Speaker 5: type of error. There's obvious things that happened all over
- 14:02Speaker 5: the field, but I'm looking for something that people might
- 14:04Speaker 5: not have talked about. And when I was looking at
- 14:06Speaker 5: it on tape, I'm thinking, that is a big play
- 14:08Speaker 5: they could have got off the field and it was
- 14:10Speaker 5: purely a communication era.
- 14:12Speaker 2: Let's look forward then to this coming weekend. What needs
- 14:16Speaker 2: to improve to the Jacks get to two and one.
- 14:19Speaker 5: We talked about the thing they need to do on offense,
- 14:21Speaker 5: but man, those boys coming off the edge Walker and
- 14:24Speaker 5: hinz Allen go to work on CJ.
- 14:28Speaker 4: Stroud.
- 14:28Speaker 5: If you pressure him and you get around him and
- 14:33Speaker 5: he's and he feels claustrophobic, that's how you have success
- 14:37Speaker 5: against him. And those guys can shine man. They could
- 14:39Speaker 5: take over a game. Let's be honest. That's what we're
- 14:42Speaker 5: going to have to see. That's on both sides of
- 14:44Speaker 5: the ball. Both the defensive ends are going to try
- 14:46Speaker 5: to tee off on the quarterback. Our offensive line has improved.
- 14:50Speaker 5: It's better than what I see in Houston. Our advantage
- 14:53Speaker 5: is the defensive line, the defensive ends going to work
- 14:56Speaker 5: and really trying to make CJ. Stroud's life miss. I
- 15:00Speaker 5: think if we do that, we can pull off a win.
- 15:02Speaker 5: I can't leave him saying we I can't look at
- 15:05Speaker 5: what's happened to me.
- 15:06Speaker 1: Well, how do you beat the Texans?
- 15:09Speaker 2: I suppose taking into consideration the first couple games of
- 15:11Speaker 2: the season as well for the Texans.
- 15:13Speaker 5: Yeah, you got you gotta get off the quarterback period
- 15:16Speaker 5: and then you got it. Look, you know Nico Collins
- 15:18Speaker 5: is gonna get off. They're going to try to force
- 15:19Speaker 5: the ball, So on passing downs, you got to get
- 15:22Speaker 5: strategic with how you take him away. It's got to
- 15:24Speaker 5: be different looks. You know, it's just not as simple
- 15:26Speaker 5: as doubling him. It's how you double him. You got
- 15:28Speaker 5: to change the way it looks. The quarterback thinks you're
- 15:31Speaker 5: doubling one way, then you change it to another. So
- 15:33Speaker 5: it's all about those disguises which they can do, and
- 15:36Speaker 5: I'll be interested to see how they do that. But
- 15:39Speaker 5: I think if you do those two things, you will
- 15:40Speaker 5: make a frustrating afternoon for CJ.
- 15:44Speaker 4: Stroud.
- 15:46Speaker 2: It sounds weird asking this question actually before Week three
- 15:50Speaker 2: is even happening. Jack's lost twice to the Texans last
- 15:52Speaker 2: season twenty three to twenty, twenty four to twenty as
- 15:56Speaker 2: well close games.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Well, it sounds weird coming out of my mouth. Now,
- 16:00Speaker 1: must win is this game?
- 16:03Speaker 4: You know?
- 16:03Speaker 5: When I look at this game, yeah, I hear you,
- 16:05Speaker 5: I hear must win. But I almost think about it
- 16:08Speaker 5: like redemption for players in situations.
- 16:11Speaker 4: I need improvement.
- 16:13Speaker 5: I need, Like I said before, some guys got to
- 16:15Speaker 5: show their tough physically, some guys got to show their
- 16:19Speaker 5: tough mentally.
- 16:20Speaker 4: I need to see resilience. I need to see it
- 16:22Speaker 4: doesn't matter what happens.
- 16:24Speaker 5: We gather together in our locker room on our practice
- 16:28Speaker 5: field and we go out and we do not make
- 16:30Speaker 5: the same mistakes twice. If you do that, you can win.
- 16:33Speaker 5: But I'm looking for that improvement more than anything else.
- 16:36Speaker 5: I'm not worried about the score, so I'm not thinking
- 16:39Speaker 5: must win. I'm thinking every play one after the other,
- 16:43Speaker 5: stacking wins on downs. And that is the key, because
- 16:46Speaker 5: when I looked at last game, that's all I saw
- 16:49Speaker 5: was those those marginal mistakes that happen that can be corrected.
- 16:55Speaker 5: And that's why I feel so positive about what they
- 16:57Speaker 5: were on the field and who they are. These are
- 17:00Speaker 5: things that you can totally correct and I feel like
- 17:03Speaker 5: if that's the only thing they're worried about, you know,
- 17:06Speaker 5: the best players and coaches I've been around.
- 17:08Speaker 4: Said, go back to the basics. Don't overthink it.
- 17:12Speaker 5: You know you're having issues covering, get low in your
- 17:15Speaker 5: back pedal, are your eyes disciplined?
- 17:18Speaker 4: Just simple things, And.
- 17:19Speaker 5: That's what they're gonna do and I expect them to
- 17:22Speaker 5: rebound and get a victory because of that.
- 17:24Speaker 4: Going in.
- 17:24Speaker 5: This is Liam Cohen, right, this is his squad. How
- 17:27Speaker 5: do you approach this week? If you do that, you
- 17:29Speaker 5: can have success. I'm really amped up for this game
- 17:31Speaker 5: because I love when people got to overcome things and
- 17:34Speaker 5: correct small things and then go out there and have success,
- 17:36Speaker 5: especially when they're trying to prove to their organization that
- 17:39Speaker 5: they got it all right.
- 17:41Speaker 2: Well, look, let's go into the predictions. Speaking to speaking
- 17:45Speaker 2: of getting back to basics, I think we should say
- 17:46Speaker 2: that's a Key every single week when it gets his
- 17:48Speaker 2: predictions as well. Last week we all went for a
- 17:51Speaker 2: close game. Jason was the only one who found it
- 17:56Speaker 2: in his hunt to cool it for Cincinnati. So well
- 18:01Speaker 2: done to you, Jenny.
- 18:02Speaker 4: It was it was. It was.
- 18:03Speaker 5: It was a complete accident, and I changed my mind
- 18:05Speaker 5: as soon as a burrow got hurt.
- 18:08Speaker 1: But you know you got the point in the end,
- 18:10Speaker 1: didn't you.
- 18:11Speaker 4: So you feel good? I mean it's not like I
- 18:13Speaker 4: feel great about it.
- 18:14Speaker 3: You gotta rather not get the point.
- 18:17Speaker 4: Yeah, my whole purpose was to lose and feel good
- 18:20Speaker 4: about it. It was like a double man.
- 18:23Speaker 2: It's one each for me and Jason, the two big
- 18:25Speaker 2: NFL pundits on this podcast, zero for Key.
- 18:30Speaker 4: It's aggressive. This is what everybody's on.
- 18:35Speaker 1: Everybody's on, everyone's amped up, everyone's amped up.
- 18:38Speaker 2: The winner of this I don't even know if Jason
- 18:40Speaker 2: knows it's the winner of this gets a Trevor Lawrence bubblehead.
- 18:44Speaker 1: So there we go.
- 18:46Speaker 4: That's going right here, right over my shoulder.
- 18:48Speaker 2: There is a space behind you, actually, isn't it just
- 18:50Speaker 2: in that little corner.
- 18:53Speaker 4: I rolled with him.
- 18:54Speaker 2: Okay, So let's get on the predictions for this game
- 18:56Speaker 2: against the Houston Texans. Key, let's get the ridiculous one
- 18:58Speaker 2: over and done with.
- 19:00Speaker 3: It's not ridiculous. I'm gonna go Jags win twenty one
- 19:03Speaker 3: to three. BTJ bounced by one hundred and fifty yard game,
- 19:08Speaker 3: including one fifty yard bomb.
- 19:11Speaker 1: Twenty one three.
- 19:13Speaker 4: This guy does it. This guy's thrown out all. He
- 19:15Speaker 4: just doesn't care.
- 19:16Speaker 3: I like it, Jay, But like you said last week,
- 19:18Speaker 3: one week, I'm gonna be right and I'm gonna look
- 19:20Speaker 3: like a genius.
- 19:22Speaker 4: That is a fact.
- 19:23Speaker 3: That's what I'll use up my showrail.
- 19:24Speaker 4: That is a fact.
- 19:25Speaker 5: No one knows about all the other losses. It doesn't matter,
- 19:31Speaker 5: j Bell.
- 19:32Speaker 1: Let's go. Surely you've got a more reasonable prediction.
- 19:34Speaker 5: I mean, I'm going I'm going twenty four, twenty one.
- 19:38Speaker 5: I'm going Jacksonville. This is gonna be interesting because somebody
- 19:43Speaker 5: who has to really step up from last week is
- 19:46Speaker 5: going to make a play and I can't wait to
- 19:49Speaker 5: see the sideline explode because of it, and I'm expecting
- 19:54Speaker 5: something like that to happen.
- 19:56Speaker 4: Trevor stand up, have a big game, man.
- 19:58Speaker 5: I love his poise, love how he's always even killed
- 20:01Speaker 5: and very chill. That's important to me as your quarterback,
- 20:04Speaker 5: especially when you heir coaches fiery. I expect some big
- 20:07Speaker 5: plays out there, and they need to get this win.
- 20:09Speaker 5: It's going to be a fight, though. Man, this is
- 20:11Speaker 5: not going to be easy. These teams go at it,
- 20:14Speaker 5: and this is where you're tested, and this is where
- 20:17Speaker 5: you build resilience.
- 20:18Speaker 1: And I'm going to go with twenty eight twenty victory
- 20:24Speaker 1: to the Jags.
- 20:25Speaker 2: I also having watched the Texans loss against the Bucks
- 20:31Speaker 2: as well, Jags defense has been on it when it
- 20:34Speaker 2: comes to interceptions over the first two games of the season,
- 20:37Speaker 2: and I think there's I think that there's possibly something
- 20:40Speaker 2: to be had here for another couple So I reckon
- 20:43Speaker 2: twenty eight twenty victory for the Jags.
- 20:46Speaker 1: See that's true. Yeah, it goes.
- 20:48Speaker 4: They've been on it, but I always get worried about that. Man.
- 20:50Speaker 5: You know, they come in bunches and then sometimes it's
- 20:53Speaker 5: a dry spell.
- 20:54Speaker 4: So but yeah, no, I know what you meant to say.
- 20:58Speaker 4: You know, like I like it.
- 20:59Speaker 6: I like it.
- 20:59Speaker 5: I like, hey, they're opportunistic. I like the way the
- 21:03Speaker 5: defense is playing. When your linebackers are coming up with
- 21:05Speaker 5: plays like that over the middle of the field, that
- 21:08Speaker 5: really causes a lot of strength for your quarterbacks.
- 21:10Speaker 4: So I agree, j.
- 21:12Speaker 1: Bell, thanks so much for joining till Talk. We'll see
- 21:14Speaker 1: you next week.

- 23:12Speaker 1: going man, Nice to see her.
- 23:14Speaker 6: Go on, Well, just came off the practice field. Nice
- 23:16Speaker 6: seeing you guys as well.
- 23:17Speaker 2: Well, look, let's go straight into it. Two games down,
- 23:21Speaker 2: one and one. How's the atmosphere in the facility? You know,
- 23:24Speaker 2: head of the Texans game, it's good.
- 23:26Speaker 6: Obviously we let one slip last weeks. We're trying to
- 23:29Speaker 6: get that one back. Everybody's pretty motivated. I had a
- 23:31Speaker 6: good day of practice today to get back in the
- 23:34Speaker 6: win Colin. But it's been encouraging how we started off
- 23:36Speaker 6: the year. But we want to build on it and
- 23:38Speaker 6: have a good rest.
- 23:39Speaker 4: Of the year.
- 23:40Speaker 2: You know, one thing that has changed obviously over the
- 23:42Speaker 2: last few months, different coaching stuff. You know, I think
- 23:45Speaker 2: I've spoken to you since then, but I want to
- 23:47Speaker 2: know a bit about Anthony Campanella. You know, new DC
- 23:49Speaker 2: two games in. What can you tell us about him
- 23:52Speaker 2: and how he wants you to play.
- 23:54Speaker 6: He's very passionate definitely has a physicality mindset and there
- 23:59Speaker 6: always let's just you know, put with a lot of
- 24:01Speaker 6: energy running to the ball and talks about turnovers. So, uh,
- 24:05Speaker 6: you know, we have a lot of little rules around
- 24:07Speaker 6: the room that we talk about every day, but a
- 24:09Speaker 6: lot of this is based off of communication and then
- 24:11Speaker 6: physicality and then everybody get into the ball. So it's
- 24:14Speaker 6: really a lot of trust that goes into it. Everybody's
- 24:17Speaker 6: talking to each other, which kind of builds a good
- 24:18Speaker 6: camaraderie on the defense. So it feels like a very
- 24:21Speaker 6: good energy that we have going so far. We want
- 24:23Speaker 6: to keep building on it and keep improving through the year.
- 24:25Speaker 2: Yeah, how does that camaraderie then translate to the field,
- 24:27Speaker 2: because you know, as you say, encouraging start to season,
- 24:30Speaker 2: despite you know that that loss, good start for the defense,
- 24:33Speaker 2: particularly in the first game as well, you know, multiple interceptions.
- 24:37Speaker 6: Everybody wants to see everybody succeed. So it's like, I'm
- 24:39Speaker 6: just ready to do my job and then I know
- 24:42Speaker 6: my brother is going to do his job off of that,
- 24:43Speaker 6: and then we're going to get the ball, so then
- 24:45Speaker 6: we're all gonna be really happy. So you know, you
- 24:47Speaker 6: see a little bit of success, you obviously want to
- 24:48Speaker 6: double down on it, and then everybody's going to eat
- 24:51Speaker 6: if we all play well. So just being close, you
- 24:54Speaker 6: see my brother make a pick, I'd be hype for him.
- 24:56Speaker 6: Then he's gonna be hype for me when I make
- 24:58Speaker 6: a play.
- 24:59Speaker 2: We was talking to Jason Bell a little bit earlier on.
- 25:01Speaker 2: He played for the Texans when the franchise started. He
- 25:04Speaker 2: spoke about his take on the rivalry between the two teams.
- 25:08Speaker 2: Can you talk about how the rivalry feels to you
- 25:10Speaker 2: and maybe you know it's impact on this game in particular,
- 25:13Speaker 2: there's a team that.
- 25:14Speaker 6: You don't want to have beat you, and you know,
- 25:17Speaker 6: I feel like, for some reason, we played each other
- 25:20Speaker 6: better away in the past couple of years. We're trying
- 25:23Speaker 6: to write that ship here and win this game at
- 25:25Speaker 6: home and get our season rolled off the right way.
- 25:28Speaker 6: You know, They've bring that physicality and that little bit
- 25:30Speaker 6: of energy with it that comes along with that rivalry,
- 25:33Speaker 6: but we've got to be ready to com back that.
- 25:34Speaker 6: I just want to win. To be honest with you
- 25:36Speaker 6: don't really care who's in front of me. So it
- 25:39Speaker 6: happened to be the Texans this week. But it's important
- 25:41Speaker 6: to make sure we come out with the right energy
- 25:42Speaker 6: and get this w.
- 25:44Speaker 2: Obviously in the same division, Texans won against the Jags
- 25:46Speaker 2: twice last season. I mean, you might not look at
- 25:50Speaker 2: it this way, but just tell me how important you
- 25:53Speaker 2: think victory is this early in the season against the
- 25:54Speaker 2: Texans against.
- 25:55Speaker 6: The Texans because it's a divisional game, so you know,
- 25:58Speaker 6: you put another team in the division back while you
- 26:00Speaker 6: go forwards. They say it's worth two. I just say,
- 26:02Speaker 6: stay ahead in the record column, and then you know
- 26:04Speaker 6: you're not struggling and scratching at the end of the year.
- 26:06Speaker 6: I think you just keep this momentum going all the
- 26:09Speaker 6: way through the year. You know, teach yourself how to
- 26:11Speaker 6: play winning football early and then sustain that all the
- 26:13Speaker 6: way through the year. You're doing a lot more sustaining
- 26:16Speaker 6: rather than trying to make something that creates something new
- 26:18Speaker 6: by the end of the year, trying to find wins
- 26:20Speaker 6: and stuff. So I just think getting this win improving
- 26:23Speaker 6: our confidence on what we have in the building, what
- 26:24Speaker 6: we're doing in the building going into the week after that.
- 26:28Speaker 6: But let's just focus on, like you said, Houston this week,
- 26:30Speaker 6: the visional game this week, take care of what we're
- 26:32Speaker 6: supposed to take care of and then see you see
- 26:34Speaker 6: what happens after.
- 26:35Speaker 1: Can you see a difference in confidence this season?
- 26:39Speaker 6: I mean we were yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Things are
- 26:42Speaker 6: encouraging this year. Obviously let that game slip, but things
- 26:45Speaker 6: are encouraging. We see what good can happen when we're
- 26:48Speaker 6: doing things the right way. So it's really trusting both
- 26:50Speaker 6: of our schemes and our players and what we're supposed
- 26:52Speaker 6: to do. But it's been encouraging so far.
- 26:54Speaker 2: I want to talk about your line of T shirts.
- 26:56Speaker 2: You actually got one on at the moment. Can you
- 26:57Speaker 2: describe it to me and describe what it's all about.
- 27:00Speaker 6: Yeah, there's a long story behind it, but it's kind
- 27:02Speaker 6: of an underdog story a little bit. It's called Team
- 27:04Speaker 6: Ugly Gang flip around that Ugly thing, and it stands
- 27:06Speaker 6: for an acronym you gotta love yourself because a lot
- 27:09Speaker 6: of the people won't give you the love you deserve.
- 27:10Speaker 6: So at the end of the day, who better love
- 27:13Speaker 6: you than you? You know what I'm saying. It kind
- 27:14Speaker 6: of gives you a little bit of self confidence going
- 27:16Speaker 6: about it. You know, no matter what people say about you,
- 27:18Speaker 6: as long as you love yourself and be true to you,
- 27:20Speaker 6: people are gonna rock with it. The people who are
- 27:22Speaker 6: gonna rock with you rock with it. So just be
- 27:25Speaker 6: me all the time. That's all I can do and
- 27:27Speaker 6: then see the benefits after.
- 27:29Speaker 1: You know what inspired you to create that?
- 27:30Speaker 6: Then long story, like I was saying, but it started
- 27:33Speaker 6: in college me and my friends a little bit. A
- 27:35Speaker 6: lot of people go through things where they kind of
- 27:37Speaker 6: question themselves and stuff. But somebody came up to me
- 27:39Speaker 6: and said, you're always yourself. So I said, yeah, Like,
- 27:42Speaker 6: no matter what people call me and call me, you know, uglier,
- 27:45Speaker 6: they can call me the best looking do in the room,
- 27:47Speaker 6: I'm gonna just you know, come dressed like how I
- 27:48Speaker 6: want to dress, and I'm gonna just be me all
- 27:50Speaker 6: the time. So if you want to like it, you
- 27:52Speaker 6: can like it. If not, you're gonna see it at
- 27:54Speaker 6: the end of the day. I love what I do.
- 27:56Speaker 2: I mean, that's amazing. That's amazing the way you put that. Man, Look,
- 28:00Speaker 2: you know that long you're back in the UK. You
- 28:02Speaker 2: actually you know you were here not that long ago, relatively.
- 28:04Speaker 3: You love it.
- 28:06Speaker 6: You all the time.
- 28:07Speaker 1: If they let me, You're always welcome.
- 28:10Speaker 2: Man, How excited are you to to come back to London?
- 28:12Speaker 2: I swear it's only been a couple of weeks since
- 28:14Speaker 2: you were here, But how excited I used to come back.
- 28:16Speaker 6: I'm so excited, you know. It's kind of you know,
- 28:18Speaker 6: I've been coming for a long time now. It feels
- 28:21Speaker 6: like part of the routine in the NFL now every season.
- 28:25Speaker 6: But I like the trip, seeing a new perspective, and
- 28:28Speaker 6: I always find something new over there every time I come. Obviously,
- 28:32Speaker 6: when the game's coming up, your focuses on the game
- 28:35Speaker 6: and stuff, but I just like seeing new people and
- 28:37Speaker 6: seeing new experiences and kind of broadening or expanding my
- 28:40Speaker 6: horizons on how people live life in different places. But
- 28:43Speaker 6: you know, humans are humans. But it's cool to see
- 28:46Speaker 6: new things for sure.
- 28:48Speaker 2: Okay, Well, on that note, I was hoping that you
- 28:50Speaker 2: could take part in our very first UK and Ireland
- 28:53Speaker 2: based quiz testing your knowledge on a few things UK
- 28:57Speaker 2: and Ireland based.
- 28:58Speaker 1: You're down for this.
- 29:00Speaker 6: I mean you're going to be mad if I getting
- 29:01Speaker 6: one of them.
- 29:02Speaker 2: Right, promise no laughing on the outside, No laughing anyway.
- 29:06Speaker 2: Let's go first one. What's the capital of the UK
- 29:09Speaker 2: UK United? The capital city London?
- 29:13Speaker 1: Well done? What city is the first ever NFL game

- 31:11Speaker 3: Dylan went with five thousand other Brits fans to Florida
- 31:16Speaker 3: in week one for the Panthers game. And Dylan, we're
- 31:19Speaker 3: going to hear all about how you've become Logan Cook's
- 31:22Speaker 3: best friend all of a sudden, But first of all,
- 31:25Speaker 3: please tell us how did you become a Jags one.
- 31:28Speaker 7: I've been into the NFL for since two and seven
- 31:32Speaker 7: when I watched the Courts play the Bears, so I've
- 31:36Speaker 7: been a fan since then, but I didn't really follow
- 31:40Speaker 7: a team until about eighteen. And just seeing the heart
- 31:48Speaker 7: and the fun and just the camarade between the Jags
- 31:54Speaker 7: at that time, when you had Klais Campbell, and you
- 31:57Speaker 7: had Blake Bottles and Jack and Westbrook and you can
- 32:02Speaker 7: just add all these names, I fell in love with
- 32:05Speaker 7: the team. Honestly fell in love with the team, and
- 32:07Speaker 7: since then it's just grown and grown and grown a
- 32:09Speaker 7: bit of addiction.
- 32:10Speaker 3: Now, was he watching them on Telly or did you
- 32:14Speaker 3: go to any of the games?
- 32:15Speaker 7: No, No, I hadn't seen any NFL games a live
- 32:19Speaker 7: prior to that. I've been watching on Turlly for good
- 32:23Speaker 7: ten years. I was quite ill twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen
- 32:26Speaker 7: around there, laid up in bed all the time and
- 32:29Speaker 7: up until earlier hours. And yeah, just watching the NFL,
- 32:34Speaker 7: not nothing else on Elli at the time, and yeah,
- 32:37Speaker 7: just just fell in love for the Jags.
- 32:39Speaker 2: Talk to us about the trip then, because to my knowledge,
- 32:43Speaker 2: you went alone, but you like managed to meet up
- 32:46Speaker 2: with a load of other fans when you're out there
- 32:48Speaker 2: in Jacksonville.
- 32:49Speaker 7: There was about eight to nine of us that went individually.
- 32:52Speaker 7: I flew into Orlando and then drove up to Jacksonville,
- 32:56Speaker 7: and I met up with the likes of Jamie Phillips,
- 33:00Speaker 7: the International fan of the Year.
- 33:01Speaker 1: We know Jamie, he's a good guy.
- 33:05Speaker 7: He's a good guy, and yeah, quite a few other friends.
- 33:08Speaker 7: We all met up in Jacksonville and we tried all
- 33:12Speaker 7: the local places and went to Jacksonville Beach, to experience that.
- 33:16Speaker 7: Talking to JAG's UK, they sorted out a tour of
- 33:21Speaker 7: the stadium, which I didn't expect. We were really lucky
- 33:26Speaker 7: to get that because obviously it's closed off for refurbishment
- 33:30Speaker 7: to make the Stagium of the future. So yeah, I
- 33:34Speaker 7: felt incredibly lucky for that. Yeah, I got to experience
- 33:37Speaker 7: Jacksonville for the first time. I've never never been there.
- 33:41Speaker 1: You ran into some people, didn't you.
- 33:42Speaker 2: I mean, what your best bits, because all I've all
- 33:45Speaker 2: I've heard is that you were in a sharping mall
- 33:48Speaker 2: and you bumped into somebody that we might be aware of.
- 33:51Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 33:51Speaker 7: Yeah, we went to Palm Beach Autographs just to see
- 33:56Speaker 7: what they had there for the for the Jags and
- 33:58Speaker 7: anything that was signed, and yeah, we bumped into Jimmy
- 34:02Speaker 7: Smith who was doing a signing. So yeah, we we
- 34:06Speaker 7: we had some photos with him, and yeah, we were lucky,
- 34:10Speaker 7: lucky to see him.
- 34:11Speaker 4: Really.
- 34:12Speaker 2: Yeah, the Jags all time leading receiver. I think, Yeah,
- 34:15Speaker 2: that's kind of it was kind of amazing. So to
- 34:18Speaker 2: be clear, was he signing stuff or was he just
- 34:21Speaker 2: just chilling it's just shopping. Well, that's what I was thinking,
- 34:25Speaker 2: was his name on That's what.
- 34:27Speaker 1: I was thinking.
- 34:27Speaker 2: I was like, did you were you just like, was
- 34:29Speaker 2: he just you know, going to gonna, you know, buy
- 34:32Speaker 2: some clothes or whatever? And you were, excuse me, you
- 34:34Speaker 2: weren't know.
- 34:34Speaker 1: But he was there for a reason, didn't you He was.
- 34:38Speaker 7: He was there for a reason.
- 34:39Speaker 1: He was.
- 34:40Speaker 7: He was there doing a private signing for the shop.
- 34:43Speaker 7: But we we all called him over. You've got to
- 34:48Speaker 7: take you.
- 34:48Speaker 3: Were you all decked in tail at the time, were
- 34:50Speaker 3: you all?
- 34:51Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 34:51Speaker 7: Most of us, Yeah, we were. We were rolling in
- 34:54Speaker 7: jags gear.
- 34:55Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 34:55Speaker 7: We had a photo with him. Then he popped off
- 34:57Speaker 7: into the mall to get a sandwich.
- 35:03Speaker 1: That's funny, That's funny. I just got to go. I'm
- 35:05Speaker 1: so sorry. I need need to get my cheese and
- 35:08Speaker 1: ham sandwich. I've got to go.
- 35:10Speaker 2: Now talk to us about the game, because as far
- 35:13Speaker 2: as I know that you, I don't know the whole
- 35:15Speaker 2: story here.
- 35:16Speaker 1: All I know is it involves Logan Cook.
- 35:18Speaker 7: I've become friends with Logan since about twenty twenty two,
- 35:23Speaker 7: met him in practice with Jamie and Francis and a
- 35:28Speaker 7: few other friends. Are quite big fans, and we all
- 35:32Speaker 7: wanted a picture with Logan and he was just shocked
- 35:35Speaker 7: and surprised that people knew his name and wanted a
- 35:39Speaker 7: picture with him, and we became friends on Instagram and
- 35:45Speaker 7: ever since, every year in practice, i've met up with
- 35:48Speaker 7: him and I said, right down, coming over Jacksonville, and
- 35:52Speaker 7: he said, right, and I'll meet you before the game.
- 35:55Speaker 7: So I went to meet him in the stadium just
- 35:59Speaker 7: before the game and yeah, he said, I've got a
- 36:03Speaker 7: surprise for you, and he gave me the game he
- 36:08Speaker 7: was kicking ball from the Jags versus pat Fits in
- 36:12Speaker 7: London last year. Wo and he signed it and yeah,
- 36:17Speaker 7: I just couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it.
- 36:19Speaker 1: That's unbelievable.
- 36:21Speaker 2: I was.
- 36:21Speaker 7: I was in shock because I didn't expect him to
- 36:25Speaker 7: give me anything. I gave him something because my thirteen
- 36:28Speaker 7: year old son had drawn a picture of Logan Cook
- 36:32Speaker 7: to give to him, So I gave him that and
- 36:34Speaker 7: he he was just he loved that, passed it on
- 36:37Speaker 7: to his children. Yeah, he said, I've got something for you.
- 36:42Speaker 7: Not know what I expected from one of the greatest
- 36:45Speaker 7: planters we've had.
- 36:47Speaker 3: That was so lovely, Dylan. So, but this is audio only,
- 36:51Speaker 3: so people can't see what you've got behind you. But
- 36:53Speaker 3: I can see a Jags filled shelf of memorabilia with a.
- 36:57Speaker 1: Ball on it.
- 36:57Speaker 7: Is that the ball?
- 36:58Speaker 3: That is the ball?
- 36:59Speaker 1: Yeah, actually, let's go and go on talk us through
- 37:02Speaker 1: it then.
- 37:03Speaker 7: So it's got the and twenty twenty four London badge
- 37:08Speaker 7: on it and you can see that it's it says
- 37:12Speaker 7: it's kicking ball and from week seven and then he
- 37:18Speaker 7: has signed it Logan Cook God bless.
- 37:21Speaker 3: An absolute pride of place on the shelf as well.
- 37:24Speaker 1: That's so coold.
- 37:25Speaker 3: Yes, and talk to us about the stadium tour a
- 37:28Speaker 3: little bit and what were some of the highlights of that.
- 37:32Speaker 7: We got to walk through the rubber walkway where the
- 37:35Speaker 7: players walk through. We got to see some of the
- 37:39Speaker 7: suites they.
- 37:40Speaker 3: Call them candy over there.
- 37:41Speaker 2: Obviously, yeah, cut that joke was so bad he's being
- 37:47Speaker 2: cut out of the podcast.
- 37:48Speaker 1: That was that is dreadful. Carry on, Dylan.
- 37:51Speaker 7: We passed Sad Suite. We weren't allowed to go in
- 37:54Speaker 7: there and fortunately but yeah, we walked around the other
- 37:57Speaker 7: suites and we got to the top of the stage
- 38:01Speaker 7: and had some lovely photographs from the from the top.
- 38:06Speaker 7: Just amazing to see the police.
- 38:07Speaker 1: In the flesh basically, well, I mean that's amazing. It
- 38:10Speaker 1: sounds like you had an incredible trip mate.
- 38:12Speaker 7: The hospitality of them as well. It's just amazing that
- 38:16Speaker 7: JAG's UK and Jack as an organization in America, the
- 38:20Speaker 7: hospitality just across the board just being incredible.
- 38:24Speaker 2: It sounds like there were some things that you planned
- 38:27Speaker 2: that were amazing, but the best bits were the things
- 38:29Speaker 2: that you just did not know were going to happen
- 38:31Speaker 2: when you were out there.
- 38:32Speaker 1: So it sounds incredible.
- 38:33Speaker 2: I mean, look, let's go forward to to this next game,
- 38:36Speaker 2: Week three against the Texans. Give us you know a
- 38:41Speaker 2: couple of sentences on what you think the Jags need
- 38:43Speaker 2: to do to get that victory.
- 38:45Speaker 7: The main thing is not the force place first game
- 38:50Speaker 7: obviously it's to see Travis Hunter, but trying to force
- 38:55Speaker 7: the passes to him, and the last game, even though
- 38:59Speaker 7: he was injured, forcing the passes to Brian Thomas Junior.
- 39:03Speaker 7: Just just go with what the flower and what you've got.
- 39:09Speaker 7: We've got so many weapons on offense, and it's it's
- 39:12Speaker 7: working on defense. We are going with the flower and
- 39:15Speaker 7: we as in all different key players from Aluakan t
- 39:19Speaker 7: wing Ad to Devin Lloyd. We are in our defense
- 39:23Speaker 7: to us Max like we haven't seen for a few years.
- 39:27Speaker 3: Yeah, a lot of players are touching the ball more
- 39:30Speaker 3: than previous seasons.
- 39:31Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, And these interceptions from from the last game
- 39:36Speaker 7: were fantastic. They stepped up massively, and it's just the offense.
- 39:43Speaker 7: Just take it easy, don't force things. Discipline has got
- 39:47Speaker 7: to be on top of the list as well.
- 39:50Speaker 3: I think we we send that to Jacksonville and they
- 39:53Speaker 3: can play it in the players.
- 39:57Speaker 7: With subtitles.
- 40:01Speaker 2: Don't put yourself down. Dylan, thanks so much for joining
- 40:03Speaker 2: till Talk today.
- 40:04Speaker 7: Oh, thank you so much.
- 40:05Speaker 4: Guys.
- 40:07Speaker 3: What a lovely man, what a great story. Loved hearing
- 40:10Speaker 3: about all the stadium tour with the work going on,
- 40:14Speaker 3: the construction work. Sounded like he was still in Jacksonville.
- 40:16Speaker 3: I think he was literally on the middle of the field.
- 40:18Speaker 3: I think he was literally just talking to us in
- 40:20Speaker 3: the middle of it by men with pneumatic drill.
- 40:25Speaker 2: Unbelievable though incredibly jealous specifically of having you know that
- 40:30Speaker 2: that signed ball as well. I have a mini Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 40:35Speaker 2: I think I don't know if you can see it
- 40:37Speaker 2: hit behind me key mini Jacksonville Jaguars ball there signed
- 40:41Speaker 2: is not signed sign.
- 40:45Speaker 1: Because I'm saying it's nowhere near as good. That's what
- 40:47Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm saying is way worse.
- 40:50Speaker 2: And I think that's incredible that you managed to get
- 40:52Speaker 2: that look big weekend ahead and actually this could be
- 40:56Speaker 2: really big in terms of the AFC South can near
- 41:01Speaker 2: Houston Texans, the next opponent for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jacks
- 41:05Speaker 2: could go two and one, which would leave the Texans
- 41:07Speaker 2: zero and three excited for this. Key, are you going
- 41:11Speaker 2: to be with your big dog watching?
- 41:13Speaker 3: Actually you know what, ja, No, I won't it or
- 41:15Speaker 3: be a margate spectacular.
- 41:17Speaker 1: That sounds like a great festival.
- 41:19Speaker 3: Yes, So I will be in new circumstances this weekend
- 41:24Speaker 3: for a one off no big dog all right.
- 41:26Speaker 2: Key, I'll see you in a few days time, won't
