- 0:03Speaker 1: It's thirty three degrees in Jacksonville. It's sixteen degrees in Nottingham.
- 0:08Speaker 1: This is TILL Talk, the official Jacksonville Jaguars, UK and
- 0:12Speaker 1: Ireland podcast, presented by Gallagher.
- 0:14Speaker 2: I'm Jay Lawrence, no relation. Key Ramsurin is here.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Jason Bell will be breaking down the Jags win against
- 0:21Speaker 1: the Texans and looking forward to the forty nine ers
- 0:24Speaker 1: on Sunday. And we talk to Jags safety Eric Murray,
- 0:28Speaker 1: who joins us from du Var County. Jags now two
- 0:32Speaker 1: and one after a seventeen to ten victory at home
- 0:36Speaker 1: to the Houston Texans.
- 0:37Speaker 3: Key, feeling very good. It's a big show, almost as
- 0:40Speaker 3: big as your pauses these days.
- 0:43Speaker 4: Jay, I.
- 0:45Speaker 3: Loved this game. I think there there are there were
- 0:48Speaker 3: some things that were wrong, some things to be improved on.
- 0:52Speaker 3: But do you know what I noticed? Where did you
- 0:55Speaker 3: watch it? By the way, I watch it at home,
- 0:58Speaker 3: all right, so I'm watching it on a tiny little screen.
- 1:01Speaker 3: So I had to rewatch it this morning before we
- 1:04Speaker 3: recorded this. Yeah, and here's what I noticed. We talk
- 1:08Speaker 3: about complimentary football a lot. We talk about the offense
- 1:12Speaker 3: showing up when the defense don't. We talk about last season,
- 1:15Speaker 3: we talked a lot about special teams showing up right
- 1:18Speaker 3: on Sunday, complimentary football, I'm going to argue didn't happen.
- 1:23Speaker 3: What did happen is that the defense showed up big
- 1:25Speaker 3: time right. The offense struggled, special teams struggled. But here's
- 1:29Speaker 3: the difference for me this season. Last season, no complimentary football,
- 1:34Speaker 3: and we're losing Sunday no complimentary football. Offense struggled, special
- 1:40Speaker 3: team struggled, but we won. We found a way to win,
- 1:43Speaker 3: and that was the big difference. And I thoroughly enjoyed that.
- 1:46Speaker 2: From the first snap as well.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Credit goes to Josh Heines Allen in particularly, who was
- 1:50Speaker 1: just absolutely everywhere in that game. And you know, the defense,
- 1:54Speaker 1: It's not just been this game, by the way, key
- 1:57Speaker 1: it's been so far this season has been absolute pleasure
- 2:01Speaker 1: to be able to watch them. And this is my
- 2:03Speaker 1: favorite stat, my favorite SAT stats so far. And bear
- 2:06Speaker 1: in mind that we are only three games into the season,
- 2:09Speaker 1: so this is what makes this stats so incredible in
- 2:11Speaker 1: my opinion.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Seven interception in three games.
- 2:14Speaker 3: That's pretty good, yeah altogether, isn't it? In three games?
- 2:18Speaker 1: Did you know how many interceptions the Jacks had in
- 2:20Speaker 1: the whole of last season.
- 2:21Speaker 3: I think we've already beaten last seasons, haven't we.
- 2:24Speaker 1: Six Yeah, six in the whole of last season. Two
- 2:28Speaker 1: in Week three against the Houston Texans as well. So defensively,
- 2:31Speaker 1: I'm going to put it out there and say, it
- 2:32Speaker 1: was really impressive to watch the Houston Texans, to watch
- 2:35Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars even against Texans. Podcast exactly, Yeah, the
- 2:41Speaker 1: first time when it gets a Texans since twenty seventeen.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Sorry Key, sorry to interrupt, but that is you can't
- 2:47Speaker 1: underestimate the importance of that.
- 2:48Speaker 3: Do you know what? Last season, I think we would
- 2:51Speaker 3: have found a way to lose this game. So yeah,
- 2:53Speaker 3: I think absolutely fantastic to get that win against the Texans.
- 2:57Speaker 3: To give you my favorites that turn difference, we are
- 3:01Speaker 3: plus five and we are currently number one in the league.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's big. That's a big change since
- 3:07Speaker 1: last year, isn't it.
- 3:09Speaker 4: Jay.
- 3:10Speaker 3: I'm I'm not a body of language expert, as you know.
- 3:13Speaker 1: No, you were the eternal optimist though, So let's see
- 3:16Speaker 1: what you're about to say.
- 3:17Speaker 3: So watch look at the defense coming onto the field
- 3:22Speaker 3: and how good and happy they look to be running
- 3:26Speaker 3: on they're sprinting onto that field, they cannot wait to
- 3:29Speaker 3: play and it looks good and I'm enjoying watching that
- 3:32Speaker 3: defense as a unit. I think they look fantastic at
- 3:34Speaker 3: the moment. Yeah, do you know what improvements to be made,
- 3:38Speaker 3: but they're looking fantastic.
- 3:40Speaker 2: And I really liked Josh Heines Allen and Trevor Lawrence.
- 3:43Speaker 1: At the end of the game, they were getting interviewed
- 3:45Speaker 1: afterwards and they were talking about, you know, Trevor was
- 3:47Speaker 1: saying the offense basically I'm paraphrasing here, that the offense
- 3:51Speaker 1: basically didn't have its best game and how much he loves,
- 3:55Speaker 1: you know, his brothers, And I think Josh Heines Allen
- 3:57Speaker 1: said the same thing in the defense, and they were
- 3:59Speaker 1: able to step up and make those plays and make
- 4:02Speaker 1: CJ strouder like it was his first game in the
- 4:05Speaker 1: NFL for it for a lot, for a lot of
- 4:07Speaker 1: this game.
- 4:08Speaker 3: Absolutely, and hopefully you know that the offense must feel
- 4:13Speaker 3: a certain amount of comfort, feeling that they know that
- 4:16Speaker 3: the defense is stepping up at the moment, so they've
- 4:19Speaker 3: got a cushion to be able to sit on and improve,
- 4:24Speaker 3: to be able to get better. And then once that happens,
- 4:27Speaker 3: the jag you as a potential threat here man.
- 4:29Speaker 1: Well, hopefully, let's hope hopefully absolutely, let's just go through
- 4:33Speaker 1: some you know, offensive mishaps at point as well. I
- 4:37Speaker 1: mean Brian Thomas Junior. He came up big late, which
- 4:40Speaker 1: was of course very important.
- 4:42Speaker 2: He needed that.
- 4:43Speaker 4: Really.
- 4:43Speaker 1: There were some dropped catches, some mixed reactions, but a
- 4:47Speaker 1: forty six yard game that set up ETN to score
- 4:50Speaker 1: in his next play. Credit to toot them as well. Its
- 4:53Speaker 1: first NFL touchdown, which is you know, it would be
- 4:56Speaker 1: something that he remembers forever. Celebration and yeah, you can
- 5:00Speaker 1: tell how much it means to him as well.
- 5:02Speaker 3: Yeah, And isn't he a lovely height being five foot nine?
- 5:04Speaker 3: I love that.
- 5:07Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 5:07Speaker 1: To see a lot of Travis Hunter though on offense.
- 5:10Speaker 1: Two targets in this game, the one reception that he
- 5:14Speaker 1: did have for twenty one yards. It was a nice play.
- 5:17Speaker 1: That's the kind of thing that we want to see
- 5:19Speaker 1: from Travis Hunter, that we expect to see from Travis Hunter.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Managing to X to get the Dull duke. Well, it
- 5:25Speaker 1: was it was one hundred percent. It was like I
- 5:26Speaker 1: was playing Madden. It was fantastic. It was great. Parker
- 5:30Speaker 1: Washington with eleven targets, Brenton Strange with seven, Brian Thomas
- 5:34Speaker 1: Junior with six targets as well. It's interesting to see
- 5:36Speaker 1: how this is the targets are sort of been fleshed
- 5:39Speaker 1: out in the offense at the moment.
- 5:40Speaker 4: King.
- 5:41Speaker 3: Yeah, I absolutely love to see that Trevor has weapons.
- 5:44Speaker 3: I'd like to see more people catching the ball. I'm
- 5:48Speaker 3: not an x as an O's guy, as you know,
- 5:51Speaker 3: but I do think I don't think it's all on
- 5:54Speaker 3: the receivers. I will put it. I will put it
- 5:56Speaker 3: that way. I think, yea, there are some balls that
- 5:58Speaker 3: should have been catched, but I so think catched. I'm
- 6:03Speaker 3: also not a language expert, but I also think there's
- 6:07Speaker 3: some balls that could have been throwed better. Did you
- 6:09Speaker 3: like that there?
- 6:11Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand what you're going for there, you know. Overall,
- 6:14Speaker 1: looking back, and this is going to be a game
- 6:19Speaker 1: that probably we won't really think about later on this season,
- 6:23Speaker 1: besides the fact that it was a win against the
- 6:24Speaker 1: Houston Texans.
- 6:25Speaker 3: But the most fantastic in the throwback jerseys as.
- 6:28Speaker 1: Well, unbelievable, unbelievable. Those jerseys are like some of the
- 6:32Speaker 1: best in the whole league.
- 6:34Speaker 2: But the most important thing they had.
- 6:35Speaker 3: The retro logo on the field as well. That looked awesome.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Two and one, two and one man relegating the Houston
- 6:43Speaker 1: Texans to zero and three. Who I think it's fair
- 6:45Speaker 1: to say we're probably the favorites in the division, you know,
- 6:47Speaker 1: coming into this season as well.
- 6:49Speaker 2: So this this division is wide open.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Looks a little bit bizarre, I think with the Indianapolis
- 6:53Speaker 1: Cults at three and o at the moment, but.
- 6:55Speaker 2: Is wide open.
- 6:56Speaker 1: It really gives the Jags a good opportunity to progress
- 7:02Speaker 1: later on this season and you know, in terms of
- 7:05Speaker 1: their play on the field and hopefully you know, contend
- 7:07Speaker 1: and get into the playoffs as well. Forty nine ers
- 7:09Speaker 1: next in California, seven pm UK time Sunday. No Nick
- 7:14Speaker 1: Bosa for the forty nine ers. Will speak a little
- 7:16Speaker 1: bit about this with j bow and a bit as well.
- 7:18Speaker 1: No Nick Bosa for the forty nine ers. Brock Purdy
- 7:21Speaker 1: could return after two successful mac Jones victories under center
- 7:26Speaker 1: as well, So this game this could be a difficult one,
- 7:31Speaker 1: I think for the Jags. But no Nick Bosa, who's
- 7:34Speaker 1: out for this season. I mean, that's already a bit
- 7:38Speaker 1: of a help, really, isn't it. That's huge for the
- 7:40Speaker 1: forty nine ers. Isn't it huge for the Jags in
- 7:42Speaker 1: the next game? Really not having to contend against one
- 7:45Speaker 1: of the best pass rushers in the league.
- 7:46Speaker 3: So this is what I'm about to say. Like the
- 7:48Speaker 3: way the defense played on Sunday, I think, you know what,
- 7:51Speaker 3: why not? Man? Why not? Yeah? The forty nine ers
- 7:54Speaker 3: look decent, but do you know what Jadd's defense looks decent?
- 7:58Speaker 3: And if the offense makes an improvement, why not. We
- 8:02Speaker 3: are joined by Jason Bell as the usual huge NFL pundit,
- 8:07Speaker 3: huge Jaguars fund Jay Bell. Last week we talked about
- 8:10Speaker 3: the rivalry between the Texans and the Jaguars. You could
- 8:13Speaker 3: see it on the field on Sunday. That was a
- 8:15Speaker 3: physical game, right right up?
- 8:17Speaker 6: Man, it's a boxing match all week. You're thinking about it.
- 8:20Speaker 6: You know what it's going to be like. That's why
- 8:22Speaker 6: we wanted to watch this game. As a player, you know,
- 8:25Speaker 6: some games are just going to be tougher than others.
- 8:27Speaker 6: And that's exactly what you see in this matchup. And
- 8:29Speaker 6: it will continue. And you saw players step up, you
- 8:32Speaker 6: saw some fall down, but you know what the victory was.
- 8:37Speaker 5: Harvers, I can't believe I'm saying that.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, I was just thinking that. I was thinking it.
- 8:43Speaker 1: I was thinking that, how did the rivalry. Did you
- 8:45Speaker 1: notice the rivalry compared to back in your day?
- 8:48Speaker 5: Yeah, no, you could see it.
- 8:49Speaker 6: It's just the tempo of the game, the chippiness, right,
- 8:52Speaker 6: the fights and all that. It's I remember when you
- 8:55Speaker 6: did this to me last time I played, and I'm
- 8:57Speaker 6: coming to get you.
- 8:58Speaker 5: And that's what you love about it. I mean that's
- 9:00Speaker 5: how it was when I played.
- 9:01Speaker 6: I would say, oh, the number whatever, I remember he
- 9:04Speaker 6: did this. If I get a shot at him, I'm
- 9:05Speaker 6: going to take it. Then all of a sudden, the
- 9:07Speaker 6: beast starts up again, and that's you know, that's what
- 9:10Speaker 6: it's about.
- 9:10Speaker 4: Man.
- 9:11Speaker 6: It's like when you have those practices versus teams in
- 9:14Speaker 6: the summertime, right that day too is the brawl cause
- 9:17Speaker 6: it's like, yo, I'm going to get them back, right,
- 9:19Speaker 6: And that's what you see in these rivalries.
- 9:21Speaker 5: I love it.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Okay, Jason, let's do this talking about how the Jags
- 9:25Speaker 1: beat the forty nine ers in a moment. But first
- 9:28Speaker 1: week three, how was the game?
- 9:31Speaker 2: One?
- 9:32Speaker 1: Oh?
- 9:32Speaker 6: It was it was one on defense in the red
- 9:35Speaker 6: zone and with the takeaways and that is where you
- 9:38Speaker 6: evaluate defenses. I call it ben Bedow break. If you
- 9:41Speaker 6: drive down the field, do we tighten up in the
- 9:43Speaker 6: red zone? Do we make it difficult? And they did
- 9:45Speaker 6: that and the turnovers were key and they are great
- 9:48Speaker 6: at this. This is not a coincidence and the reason
- 9:51Speaker 6: why this is working. When I look at this defense,
- 9:52Speaker 6: they're playing a lot of zone and in zone covers,
- 9:54Speaker 6: you got your eyes on the quarterback. So a good
- 9:57Speaker 6: coach teaches you the concepts like this is how they're
- 9:59Speaker 6: attacking you. These are the concepts to look out for
- 10:02Speaker 6: the routes. So you're looking at the quarterback, you're feeling
- 10:05Speaker 6: the concept and you're able to break and make a play.
- 10:07Speaker 5: And we are seeing that.
- 10:09Speaker 6: So not only is it the teaching and the discipline
- 10:11Speaker 6: and the fundamentals, but it's the film study, the preparation,
- 10:16Speaker 6: understanding how your opponent is going to attack you encountering
- 10:20Speaker 6: by having your eyes on the quarterback and breaking on
- 10:22Speaker 6: the ball.
- 10:23Speaker 5: And I love that.
- 10:24Speaker 2: Well, who was the Jags mvp?
- 10:27Speaker 5: Oh Man?
- 10:27Speaker 6: You know, let me tell you something. You know, when
- 10:30Speaker 6: you spend money and it feels good like it feels
- 10:34Speaker 6: good like you spent that bread, you spent the bread
- 10:37Speaker 6: and you feel good like you ate a good meal
- 10:39Speaker 6: or you gave a good gift to somebody you love. Well,
- 10:42Speaker 6: I'm telling you josh heines Allen's he got that bread,
- 10:46Speaker 6: he got that money, and it feels good because he
- 10:49Speaker 6: closed out the game.
- 10:50Speaker 5: First of all, he had constant pressure throughout the game.
- 10:53Speaker 6: But I mean that deflection right that led to the
- 10:55Speaker 6: interception coming off the edge. That's what I call a closer.
- 10:58Speaker 6: And you need to have clothes users on defense, and
- 11:01Speaker 6: most of the time they are your defensive ends. Walker
- 11:05Speaker 6: was balling two. But you like josh Heinz Allen coming
- 11:08Speaker 6: through having a great game, money well spent. Anybody that
- 11:11Speaker 6: knows him is always rooting for him, and I'm telling
- 11:14Speaker 6: you he was dominating.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Well, what was the key moment or the turning point
- 11:17Speaker 1: that we may have missed in this game?
- 11:19Speaker 6: There was a lot of drops, but I like the
- 11:21Speaker 6: big catch by Brian Thomas Junior right on that game
- 11:25Speaker 6: winning drive. And I like how they adjusted at halftime.
- 11:29Speaker 6: I felt like they slowed down on the pre snap penalties,
- 11:31Speaker 6: which is key, right, you want to do that, and
- 11:33Speaker 6: then they kind of adjusted their zone running style a
- 11:36Speaker 6: little bit, and I like that because Liam Khan goes
- 11:39Speaker 6: back and he goes, Okay, this is how they're playing us.
- 11:41Speaker 6: This how I'm gonnadjust the way I'm calling these plays.
- 11:43Speaker 6: And it looked effective. So those two things I look
- 11:46Speaker 6: at on the bright side with how do you overcome right,
- 11:49Speaker 6: no matter what's happening to you? How do you close
- 11:51Speaker 6: out a game? And they were able to close out
- 11:53Speaker 6: on offense and defense.
- 11:55Speaker 1: Well, what needs to improve? So the Janks get to
- 11:57Speaker 1: three and one, Well, he just.
- 11:59Speaker 6: Kind of meant, I mean, I hate to bring the
- 12:01Speaker 6: move down, feltas because we was on such a good high.
- 12:04Speaker 6: We were rolling, it was feeling good.
- 12:07Speaker 5: But you can't drop that many passes.
- 12:11Speaker 6: You gotta help Trevor out and he needs to get
- 12:15Speaker 6: more explosive pass plays down the field, especially against this
- 12:22Speaker 6: forty nine Ers team who is going to put you
- 12:24Speaker 6: in a Boa Constrictor type chokehold. If you just want
- 12:27Speaker 6: to throw the ball short, you gotta put the ball
- 12:30Speaker 6: over their head and you got to back them up.
- 12:32Speaker 5: So that's something they're going to have to work on
- 12:34Speaker 5: this week.
- 12:35Speaker 6: I really like the fact that they find a way,
- 12:38Speaker 6: even in the way the tackles kind of help they're
- 12:41Speaker 6: using Brentan strange. I like the way they're using him
- 12:44Speaker 6: on the end of the line of scrimmage to help
- 12:45Speaker 6: with the tackles, but then go out on routes.
- 12:47Speaker 5: I really like that. So I think they're going to
- 12:49Speaker 5: have to tap into that too.
- 12:50Speaker 2: And how do you beat the forty nine?
- 12:52Speaker 5: Well, well, well, well it's time to get after mac Jones.
- 12:56Speaker 6: It's time to get after whoever's that quarterback, right, that's
- 12:59Speaker 6: the key. Get out quarterback. But when you look at
- 13:01Speaker 6: the passing game, you looking at Ricky Piersaw and you're
- 13:04Speaker 6: looking at CMC Christian McCaffrey. You're gonna have to treat
- 13:06Speaker 6: him like a wide receiver number two. I know it
- 13:08Speaker 6: was a running back, but you're gonna have to treat
- 13:09Speaker 6: him like that. And then those all coverages, how do
- 13:12Speaker 6: you keep your eyes on him, both of those players
- 13:14Speaker 6: and take them away.
- 13:15Speaker 5: That's really going to be the key with stopping that offense.
- 13:19Speaker 1: All right, Well let's go to our predictions, then, shall we.
- 13:21Speaker 1: Last week we went for a Jacks win. Look at us,
- 13:23Speaker 1: Look at us. It was seventeen ten, he said, twenty
- 13:27Speaker 1: one to three, which is, well, I'm.
- 13:33Speaker 3: The closestart of all three of us, aren't.
- 13:34Speaker 1: I I don't know if you're the closest. Jason went
- 13:37Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty one.
- 13:39Speaker 5: Jeez, I made that up too.
- 13:42Speaker 1: I went twenty eight twenty So I guess I mean
- 13:47Speaker 1: I'm closer ten ten point differential.
- 13:49Speaker 2: You're definitely closest. I don't know. I know we're gonna
- 13:52Speaker 2: have a point.
- 13:52Speaker 3: So Also, I made an extra prediction, and I was
- 13:56Speaker 3: what did BTJ get was a forty six YDD couch?
- 13:59Speaker 3: Because I said he would make a.
- 14:00Speaker 5: Fit forty six It was four.
- 14:03Speaker 3: Yards off, four yards off.
- 14:05Speaker 5: Still crazy for that, bro, because that was you said it.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Yeah, j this is the competition, Jay Bell, it's.
- 14:12Speaker 2: We're we're all out for each other. You can't be
- 14:14Speaker 2: friends in.
- 14:15Speaker 6: This well, I'm gonna tell you this, man, when we're
- 14:17Speaker 6: in the locker room together, we're all friends, baby, and.
- 14:19Speaker 5: We're on the same side. Yeah.
- 14:20Speaker 6: So let's just be honest to say we all want
- 14:22Speaker 6: the same thing in life. Okay, It's like, you know,
- 14:25Speaker 6: we all want the same thing, like we want we
- 14:27Speaker 6: want the Jags to ball out when I personally want
- 14:30Speaker 6: Trevor to be the man.
- 14:31Speaker 5: So I don't know if y'all on the boat with me.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Okay, So it's a point each. Jason has got three.
- 14:35Speaker 1: Well done to you, j Bell. I've got two. Key
- 14:39Speaker 1: somehow has two as well. Let's do this week's predictions
- 14:42Speaker 1: against the forty nine as j Bell, you're up.
- 14:44Speaker 6: I'm my first really ow goodness, all right, I'm gonna
- 14:49Speaker 6: keep rolling with this defense. So I'm going twenty four
- 14:53Speaker 6: to twenty one Jacksonville. This defense comes with some good turnovers. Man,
- 14:58Speaker 6: let's make this happen. Let's let's because everybody's going with
- 15:01Speaker 6: saying the forty nine has got the easy schedule. They're
- 15:03Speaker 6: saying this team's gonna be on stop because top because
- 15:06Speaker 6: of their schedule. Well, it's time to break that schedule up.
- 15:09Speaker 6: It's time to look on there and say, oh we
- 15:11Speaker 6: the next one's up.
- 15:12Speaker 4: It's on us.
- 15:13Speaker 6: Nah, not today, buddy, not today. You're not gonna little
- 15:16Speaker 6: brother us. And I think it's time to step up.
- 15:18Speaker 6: You got enough people in that locker room, in that
- 15:21Speaker 6: organization that understand that they are going to be overlooked
- 15:24Speaker 6: and they're gonna show up.
- 15:25Speaker 5: They're gonna shine.
- 15:25Speaker 6: We're gonna run the ball and take shots vertically down
- 15:28Speaker 6: the field and get turnovers. Wear it counts in the
- 15:31Speaker 6: red zone. I want credit for all that if it happens.
- 15:33Speaker 6: If it doesn't, just forget.
- 15:35Speaker 2: You don't get any points. You don't get any points
- 15:37Speaker 2: if that happens. We've been through this. We've been through this.
- 15:40Speaker 3: Key go do you know what Jabell's she taking my
- 15:43Speaker 3: exact prediction. I was gonna go twenty four to twenty
- 15:46Speaker 3: one jigs, So I'm gonna change it. I'm gonna go
- 15:48Speaker 3: twenty four to twenty jigs and I'm gonna go forty
- 15:52Speaker 3: nine us mess a two point conversion.
- 15:55Speaker 2: Oh well, okay, all right, that's not very crazy. I
- 15:58Speaker 2: think I like it.

- 16:03Speaker 1: a seventeen fourteen Jags victory.
- 16:08Speaker 5: I could see that happening.
- 16:09Speaker 2: Yeah, that's nice.
- 16:10Speaker 5: That's what.
- 16:11Speaker 2: That's what. That's what I'm saying.
- 16:12Speaker 5: And that's good. You know.
- 16:13Speaker 1: Do you know I don't go flashy. I just want
- 16:15Speaker 1: the points. I'm interested in the points.
- 16:17Speaker 3: It's sensible, but not interesting.
- 16:22Speaker 2: Described it was for my wedding vows.
- 16:23Speaker 6: Heydon Sanders said it the best. He said, nobody was
- 16:26Speaker 6: talking about Corners. I had to tell him who I was.
- 16:28Speaker 6: You know, sometimes you gotta be flashy. Yeah, that's all
- 16:31Speaker 6: I'm saying, that's some good advice.

- 18:19Speaker 1: to talk about, you know, the next game for the Jacks.
- 18:22Speaker 1: I want to touch upon the last one though, against
- 18:25Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. I want to know how it felt
- 18:26Speaker 1: for you victory against your old team.
- 18:29Speaker 4: I mean it was sweet man.
- 18:31Speaker 7: You know, anytime you get to beat your former team
- 18:34Speaker 7: in the regular season, you always feel good about that
- 18:36Speaker 7: you know, and it being a divisional on it, it
- 18:39Speaker 7: was a big one.
- 18:40Speaker 2: Was it weird being on the other side of the
- 18:42Speaker 2: on the other side, Uh?
- 18:44Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. It was a couple of times.
- 18:45Speaker 7: I think in the summertime I was like, I've never
- 18:48Speaker 7: been on this side before.
- 18:50Speaker 4: I had a bunch of instances like that, But I'm used.
- 18:52Speaker 5: To it now.
- 18:53Speaker 1: Does it make victory a little bit sweeter? I suppose
- 18:55Speaker 1: to make a difference, definitely.
- 18:57Speaker 7: I mean just because I'm familiar with so many guys
- 18:59Speaker 7: over on that side, So just to be able.
- 19:02Speaker 4: To go against some competitively, it's a good time.
- 19:05Speaker 1: Well, look, the defense has been on them, you know,
- 19:08Speaker 1: top form over the first few games of the season,
- 19:11Speaker 1: already eclipsing the total number of interceptions for the whole
- 19:14Speaker 1: of last season as well.
- 19:15Speaker 2: I don't know if you know that stat already. What
- 19:17Speaker 2: do you put that down to?
- 19:19Speaker 7: Guys just being in the right spot, being opportunistic when
- 19:22Speaker 7: the ball is in the air, and just our commandments
- 19:24Speaker 7: as what we believe as a defense.
- 19:26Speaker 1: Well, I want to talk about the DC Anthony Anthony
- 19:30Speaker 1: Campanelli as well. This is your tenth season in the NFL. Eric,
- 19:33Speaker 1: you know you'd have dealt with completely different coordinators and
- 19:38Speaker 1: different spots that you've been to.
- 19:40Speaker 2: What does he bring? Does he bring something fresh to the.
- 19:42Speaker 7: Table, just as authenticity and his personality. He's passionate about
- 19:47Speaker 7: teaching football and passionate about the game of football. You
- 19:50Speaker 7: find a guy who's able to, you know, inject his
- 19:52Speaker 7: personality into his teachings. It makes the defense much more
- 19:55Speaker 7: oppotent and people start to understand the concepts where they fit.
- 19:59Speaker 2: How would you describe as personally.
- 20:01Speaker 4: Real New York Italian.
- 20:05Speaker 7: New York tertereotypical Italian guy you've seen on TV?
- 20:08Speaker 4: That's him for sure?
- 20:09Speaker 3: Really?
- 20:10Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I'll fed up with his mind. Have
- 20:12Speaker 1: you watched The Sopranos?
- 20:14Speaker 4: Yeah, I love good show.
- 20:17Speaker 7: I'm feeling you if you go watch that and then
- 20:18Speaker 7: you have a conversation with him, you're like, okay, I
- 20:20Speaker 7: can see it.
- 20:22Speaker 1: Okay, Well, look, hopefully I'll be speaking to him in
- 20:24Speaker 1: a few weeks time, and I'll let you know if
- 20:26Speaker 1: I think that's that way. I'm going into this game
- 20:29Speaker 1: against San Francisco. I mean, you're not sure if it's
- 20:31Speaker 1: going to be Mac Jones or brock Puddy, you know
- 20:35Speaker 1: under center. How does that change your preparations for the game.
- 20:39Speaker 4: I guess one's more mold than the other.
- 20:41Speaker 7: But the way the offense operates is this very symptomatic, systematic.
- 20:46Speaker 7: Shanahan He's a very system system type guy, So a
- 20:50Speaker 7: lot of the stuff that they do, you know, regardless
- 20:53Speaker 7: of who's the quarterback, you can go back in his
- 20:55Speaker 7: history and see that they've done some of the same things.
- 20:57Speaker 4: So when you understand that, easier to prepare a little bit.
- 21:01Speaker 1: Yeah, if you had much history playing against Corls Shanahana,
- 21:04Speaker 1: because you know, he's he's considered one of the best
- 21:07Speaker 1: defensive minds in the league, isn't he.
- 21:09Speaker 4: Yeah, he is.
- 21:10Speaker 7: I played him a while back when they were when
- 21:13Speaker 7: Julio Jones was still there and they had Devonte Freeman
- 21:16Speaker 7: and all those guys.
- 21:17Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay with the Falcons. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 21:20Speaker 7: I got a history with him, and just you know,
- 21:22Speaker 7: so I understand what that tree looks like and how
- 21:24Speaker 7: they want to attack defenses.
- 21:26Speaker 1: Well, talk to me about Christian McCaffrey as well, because
- 21:28Speaker 1: you know, I speak about some of like you know,
- 21:29Speaker 1: Collins Shanahan being one of the best defensive minds in
- 21:31Speaker 1: the league. You know, you're coming up against one of
- 21:33Speaker 1: the you know, the trickiest running backs. I suppose, someone
- 21:36Speaker 1: that can play in lots of different positions. Talk to
- 21:38Speaker 1: me a little bit about him and how you deal
- 21:39Speaker 1: with him.
- 21:41Speaker 4: I mean, just his versatility.
- 21:42Speaker 7: Understanding that like he's gonna they're gonna hand the ball
- 21:44Speaker 7: off to him, and he's going to catch the ball too,
- 21:47Speaker 7: So you know, whenever he's in the backfield, he's never
- 21:49Speaker 7: going to be stationary in the backfield. He's either coming
- 21:52Speaker 7: out making a catch or you know, they're gonna scheme
- 21:54Speaker 7: some ways up for him to get the ball.
- 21:56Speaker 1: And I mentioned a moment ago as well, the impressed
- 22:00Speaker 1: to start to the defense for the Jags this year.
- 22:03Speaker 1: I've got no doubt that, like like any NFL player,
- 22:06Speaker 1: you are thinking, Okay, here's room for improvements in this way,
- 22:10Speaker 1: you know, in that way?
- 22:11Speaker 2: What can you share about that?
- 22:14Speaker 4: Really, just knowing what your job is.
- 22:16Speaker 7: Like I said before, that's you know, half the battle
- 22:18Speaker 7: of defense is no one are you supposed to fit
- 22:21Speaker 7: regardless of what the offense gives you. And if you
- 22:23Speaker 7: understand your rules and techniques, it's gonna take you to
- 22:27Speaker 7: the bar and it's gonna take you to a lot
- 22:29Speaker 7: of players it.
- 22:31Speaker 1: Is a Jags atmosphere. What you thought it would be,
- 22:33Speaker 1: you know, joining, joining the team so far?
- 22:36Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah I haven't. Yeah, I haven't. I didn't have
- 22:40Speaker 7: any expectations coming into it. I mean I play here
- 22:43Speaker 7: every year, so yeah, it was it was about what
- 22:46Speaker 7: I thought it would be.
- 22:47Speaker 2: Look not long now until you head off to London.
- 22:52Speaker 1: I did a bit of googling, so you could have
- 22:53Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong, But I try to work
- 22:55Speaker 1: this out.
- 22:55Speaker 2: I don't think you've ever played in London before?
- 22:57Speaker 4: Is that right? Nope? No, it was my first time.
- 23:00Speaker 2: Yeah, how do you feel about it?
- 23:02Speaker 4: I'm excited. I don't know.
- 23:04Speaker 7: I never played football internationally before. To be able to
- 23:09Speaker 7: do that, I guess I can cross that off my
- 23:10Speaker 7: bucket list.
- 23:11Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm just wondering what your teammates have told
- 23:13Speaker 1: you about, you know, going over to London and what
- 23:15Speaker 1: to see now what I had.
- 23:17Speaker 4: To ask him in it a couple of weeks.
- 23:18Speaker 7: I haven't really been asking him about it, so my
- 23:20Speaker 7: wife probably been more excited about it to me.
- 23:22Speaker 2: So is she gonna come with you?
- 23:25Speaker 4: Yeah? She'll come.
- 23:26Speaker 2: Okay, nice. I mean a lot of people, actually a lot.
- 23:30Speaker 1: When I spoke to you know, Jags players before, a
- 23:32Speaker 1: lot of them said that like going away it's like
- 23:35Speaker 1: a it's like a mini training camp in a way,
- 23:38Speaker 1: you know, like you know, your head off to a
- 23:39Speaker 1: different location. It's an excuse to sort of, you know,
- 23:44Speaker 1: bond with your teammates. I'm just interested to know from
- 23:46Speaker 1: your perspective, I guess from your experience as well, how
- 23:49Speaker 1: much that bonding, that closeness with your teammates translates onto
- 23:55Speaker 1: the field.
- 23:57Speaker 4: Definitely translated.
- 23:58Speaker 7: I think from being in Houston and coming here, it
- 24:01Speaker 7: was a lot more small in terms of like not
- 24:04Speaker 7: in terms of like the city size, but of things
- 24:07Speaker 7: to do.
- 24:08Speaker 4: So we uh us as DB's.
- 24:11Speaker 7: And as defense we spend more time together going out
- 24:13Speaker 7: to dinner, and I think that's really fostered our relationship
- 24:16Speaker 7: going forward. So you know, this trip will you know,
- 24:18Speaker 7: be the same thing. Another opportunity to hang out and
- 24:20Speaker 7: you know.
- 24:21Speaker 1: My what's your favorite your favorite food to go out
- 24:24Speaker 1: to dinner with your teammates in Jacksonville.
- 24:29Speaker 7: Well, we've been going to a lot of steakhouses. I'm
- 24:31Speaker 7: not really a big guy. I like more and more
- 24:33Speaker 7: so New American.
- 24:34Speaker 2: That's my kind of dram New American. Yes, what's that.
- 24:39Speaker 2: I don't know what that is.
- 24:41Speaker 7: It's like, uh, a more upscale take on classic American dishes. Well, they'll,
- 24:49Speaker 7: you know, do a little twist on it, make it
- 24:52Speaker 7: feel a little bit more fancy.
- 24:54Speaker 2: Well, look, I just want to say thank you for
- 24:56Speaker 2: joining us.

- 25:49Speaker 1: the running time and I can't remem what it is,
- 25:51Speaker 1: but I'm like, it's long, you know, it's like you
- 25:54Speaker 1: know back in the day when I don't know, I

- 26:09Speaker 7: so I had to watch.
- 26:11Speaker 2: A long flight.
- 26:12Speaker 4: I could really lock in.
- 26:14Speaker 1: Yeah, don't worry about Godfather three, if I'm gonna say,
- 26:16Speaker 1: and if it, don't worry about just leave that one
- 26:18Speaker 1: song that you listen to right before the game.
- 26:26Speaker 7: It's a song called Jet Taylor. It's a whiskey Leaver
- 26:29Speaker 7: was on his new album that just came out.

- 27:00Speaker 1: an abundancity. And lastly, what do most people not know

- 27:13Speaker 2: So you've seen K Pop Demon Hunters.
- 27:15Speaker 4: Of course.

- 27:43Speaker 2: you were a very kind of kid. And do you
- 27:44Speaker 2: know what, it's actually brilliant as well?
- 27:45Speaker 5: Is it?
- 27:45Speaker 1: Being able to speak to a Jags player every single
- 27:48Speaker 1: week is not only like an amazing thing to do,
- 27:51Speaker 1: but it's amazing to get their insight, especially like a.
- 27:54Speaker 2: Head of the game.
- 27:55Speaker 1: You know, each week to be able to talk to it,
- 27:57Speaker 1: and to be able to to be able to talk
- 27:59Speaker 1: to them, and to be able to talk about the
- 28:00Speaker 1: things that you know, hopefully you know, Jags fans here
- 28:03Speaker 1: in the UK, here in Ireland as well want to
- 28:06Speaker 1: hear is great and to talk about of course, the
- 28:09Speaker 1: game that is coming up in a few weeks time
- 28:12Speaker 1: at Wembley Stadium.
- 28:13Speaker 3: That's the big one, isn't it. That's the big one.
- 28:15Speaker 3: Everyone seems genuinely excited to be coming over to play,
- 28:19Speaker 3: which is fantastic, and.
- 28:20Speaker 2: Well why wouldn't you be come on, why won't have you?
- 28:23Speaker 3: Like Liam Cohen's interview on the YouTube channel, how excited
- 28:27Speaker 3: he is to be coming over to play that game
- 28:29Speaker 3: is just that excellent.
- 28:30Speaker 1: Yeah, his face sort of lit up in a way
- 28:32Speaker 1: that you don't often see, you know, coaches or players
- 28:36Speaker 1: really that much. And you could tell that he wasn't
- 28:38Speaker 1: just saying it. He wasn't just saying it, He genuinely
- 28:41Speaker 1: meant it.
- 28:42Speaker 3: No, And after the interview, that's the thing that he
- 28:45Speaker 3: talked about was how excited him and his wife are
- 28:47Speaker 3: to be coming over.
- 28:48Speaker 2: Amazing. Well you can watch that interview, can't you? Right now?
- 28:50Speaker 1: Over on the Chan's UK YouTube. I'd recommend you going
- 28:53Speaker 1: to do that because, as I say, genuinely was really
- 28:57Speaker 1: hyped to be coming over to London. All right, forty
- 29:00Speaker 1: nine Ers game this week came. Where you're gonna be
- 29:02Speaker 1: watching the game, King.
- 29:03Speaker 3: I shall be in Margate for it this weekend, watching
- 29:07Speaker 3: it on a small phone, which means I'll probably have
- 29:09Speaker 3: to rewatch it on a bigger two. Watching football on
- 29:13Speaker 3: the phone is tough, man. Have you ever done it?
- 29:15Speaker 2: I do it like a lot. Yeah, I do it
- 29:17Speaker 2: a lot.
