- 0:05Speaker 1: It's twenty seven, twenty seven degrees in Jacksonville, Florida. Eight
- 0:12Speaker 1: in Huddersfield, it's twelve in Belfast. This is till Talk.
- 0:16Speaker 1: I'm Jay Lawrence. As far as I know, there is
- 0:18Speaker 1: still no relation. He's Key Ramsar and this is the
- 0:21Speaker 1: official Jacksonville Janguar's podcast for the UK and Ireland. Key,
- 0:26Speaker 1: how are you okay? That's what you're always going for.
- 0:30Speaker 2: Getting harder and harder to say that. I'm okayay, but yeah,
- 0:34Speaker 2: just the matter, Well.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Look, just like the Jacksonville Jaguars, I have high hopes
- 0:39Speaker 1: for this podcast in twenty twenty five. Key, we need
- 0:42Speaker 1: to make sure we do a good job. Plenty of
- 0:44Speaker 1: you out there, you know you listen, you subscribe. We
- 0:46Speaker 1: want to be back, you know, talking about all the
- 0:48Speaker 1: all triumphant twenty twenty five Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars that
- 0:52Speaker 1: are there aren't going to be two and a going
- 0:54Speaker 1: to be eight and two. I've thought it many times
- 0:57Speaker 1: this year. To be honest, anyway, we won't focus on
- 1:00Speaker 1: twenty twenty five too much right now. I suppose we won't. Key,
- 1:04Speaker 1: actually great episode of this because we're going to be
- 1:07Speaker 1: joined on this episode from Duvarle County by Jaguar Tyson Campbell.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Great few weeks he's had with massive on Sunday against
- 1:15Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings as well, we have another big question
- 1:18Speaker 1: from a UK Jags fan and as it gets cold
- 1:21Speaker 1: in it, you remember what I said, eight degrees in Uddersfield,
- 1:24Speaker 1: eight degrees in Odthersfield. We have a thing fantastic Jacksonville
- 1:28Speaker 1: Jaguars for they to give away later in this episode
- 1:31Speaker 1: of Teal Talk, remember all one word and look ahead
- 1:34Speaker 1: to Sunday's game in Detroit as the Jags suffered, and
- 1:41Speaker 1: I feel like it is something that we say every
- 1:43Speaker 1: single week. I suppose every single week here at teal Talk,
- 1:46Speaker 1: Key another narrow defeat.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Key, it's something silly like one and six in under
- 1:54Speaker 2: five point games, which is absolute madness. And a phrase
- 2:00Speaker 2: I've heard a lot this week has been about teams
- 2:04Speaker 2: finding a way to win, and I thought, do you
- 2:08Speaker 2: know what, It's not only that the Jags don't find
- 2:10Speaker 2: a way to win, They find a way to lose
- 2:14Speaker 2: every week. The end of that fourth quarter was just
- 2:21Speaker 2: for the defense to hold them to twelve, to keep
- 2:25Speaker 2: them out of the end zone, for the entire game
- 2:29Speaker 2: to be on the field for six hours, five thousand
- 2:33Speaker 2: combined tackles or whatever the silly numbers were, and to
- 2:37Speaker 2: still come away losing that game that was so tough Minnesota,
- 2:43Speaker 2: one of the best offenses in the league. To hold
- 2:46Speaker 2: them to twelve and still lose. It's just.
- 2:50Speaker 1: This feels so.
- 2:51Speaker 2: Different to my big Gladiator Russell Crowe's speech that I
- 2:54Speaker 2: gave to.
- 2:56Speaker 1: It does, and you know what, we won't focus on
- 2:58Speaker 1: this game for too much. I mean, you know, we're
- 3:00Speaker 1: closer now to the to the next game, but I
- 3:02Speaker 1: think it does, you know, need to be mentioned that
- 3:04Speaker 1: first is it first drive? Was it second driver? The
- 3:08Speaker 1: game when Mac Jones runs in the touchdown? Yeah, so
- 3:14Speaker 1: I mean at that point you're like, okay, okay, how's
- 3:17Speaker 1: this going to go? And then it obviously, you know,
- 3:19Speaker 1: it doesn't. It doesn't quite go, you know. And we'll
- 3:22Speaker 1: speak to Tyson Campbell briefly, you know about the game
- 3:25Speaker 1: as well a little bit.
- 3:25Speaker 2: There was a moment when I was watching Jay when
- 3:27Speaker 2: in that first quarter where I was like, oh, is
- 3:29Speaker 2: it home town boy comes good and you know, helps
- 3:33Speaker 2: the Jags turn a season around. But no, no, it
- 3:37Speaker 2: was It wasn't that. It wasn't that it was, Ja,
- 3:40Speaker 2: you didn't watch the game on Sunday, am? I right?
- 3:43Speaker 1: I didn't watch it live because I was very excited
- 3:47Speaker 1: to be invited by the Super Bowl host Committee to
- 3:51Speaker 1: go to New Orleans. So for a few days, I
- 3:55Speaker 1: ate as much food as I think anybody who's eaten
- 3:57Speaker 1: in their.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Life, although I see it. I seen josh heinz Allen
- 4:01Speaker 2: and sushi Zamba, so maybe yeah, yeah, to.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Be fair, you know, I say that it's probably you know,
- 4:07Speaker 1: what I had for a really large dinner is probably
- 4:10Speaker 1: a pre breakfast snacks for I think certain NFL players.
- 4:14Speaker 2: And did you try any gumbo?
- 4:15Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, I had a lot of gumbo, A lot
- 4:17Speaker 1: of gumbo. I had the Bennet's had. What else did
- 4:21Speaker 1: I have? Jambol? I had a this is I had
- 4:24Speaker 1: a stuffed quail for breakfast.
- 4:27Speaker 2: Jay, is this just becoming a weather and food podcast? Now?
- 4:31Speaker 3: It is?
- 4:32Speaker 1: I feel like it is. I feel like it is.
- 4:35Speaker 1: It was? It was, But no, it was. It was
- 4:38Speaker 1: a really great trip. I really enjoyed it almost, you know,
- 4:40Speaker 1: so much packed into a short space of time. But
- 4:42Speaker 1: it didn't mean that I wasn't able to watch this
- 4:43Speaker 1: game live, which meant that. I was like checking it.
- 4:46Speaker 1: I was because I was, you know, we went to
- 4:47Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints games and I was checking it
- 4:50Speaker 1: on my phone being like, is it was its twelve? No,
- 4:54Speaker 1: it was what was it for? It was a long time.
- 4:56Speaker 1: It was like nine three seven three for a long time.
- 5:00Speaker 1: I was like, is it still seven to three? Like
- 5:04Speaker 1: keep in the third quarter or something? Yeah, you know,
- 5:06Speaker 1: And then I saw that had all these interceptions. I
- 5:08Speaker 1: was like, come on, surely this is going to happen.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Cam Robinson obviously as well. I think, you know, interesting,
- 5:14Speaker 1: I suppose he was traded to the Minnesota Vikings less
- 5:17Speaker 1: than three weeks ago, came up against his former team,
- 5:22Speaker 1: you know, three weeks difference. It's funny how it works,
- 5:24Speaker 1: isn't it. In the NFL as well against Josh hein Zalery.
- 5:28Speaker 1: To be honest, it's a great matchup, but I'm sure
- 5:30Speaker 1: there's a weird way he was probably relishing it Cam Robinson,
- 5:33Speaker 1: but also being like, I'm also going to be against
- 5:36Speaker 1: Josh Salent, so I can't really you know too much.
- 5:39Speaker 2: I mean, let's let's be frank. Josh absolutely dominated Cam
- 5:43Speaker 2: in that matchup, and I think the production team in
- 5:47Speaker 2: the US are absolute geniuses because they had Josh Heinz
- 5:51Speaker 2: Allen miked up for it, which is now on their
- 5:54Speaker 2: YouTube channel and it's it's very entertaining go watch it.
- 5:58Speaker 1: Obviously, the one player that wasn't there in the game,
- 6:00Speaker 1: and somebody who's not going to be at the Detroit
- 6:02Speaker 1: Lions game either, it has been confirmed, is Trevor Lawrence
- 6:05Speaker 1: of course, the franchise quarterback you know of the Jaguars,
- 6:08Speaker 1: And that's why we mentioned that Mac Jones was playing
- 6:10Speaker 1: quarterback with an ac joint injury non throat pretend I
- 6:15Speaker 1: know exactly what that means, A non throw and shoulder. Yeah,
- 6:18Speaker 1: that's it, which is obviously concerning. Obviously concerning there has
- 6:23Speaker 1: been a lot of talk and rumors of a potential
- 6:27Speaker 1: season ending surgery. Doug Peterson, the head coach, yesterday its
- 6:30Speaker 1: press conference, says that there hasn't been any talk of that.
- 6:36Speaker 1: But you know, it's an interesting situation, isn't it now
- 6:39Speaker 1: Where it's like, if there was a situation where the
- 6:42Speaker 1: best thing for Trevor and his long term future and
- 6:45Speaker 1: for next season is to not play for this season,
- 6:49Speaker 1: what do you do, key, Because you know you could think, well,
- 6:51Speaker 1: actually it's not. It's not been a great season for
- 6:54Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Do we just make sure that he's right
- 6:57Speaker 1: his reign for next one?
- 6:58Speaker 2: Dude, That's the thing. I'm not a professional head coach
- 7:02Speaker 2: or general manager as you know, but oh yeah, I
- 7:06Speaker 2: might be thinking about we're two and eight. Do you
- 7:09Speaker 2: think now's the time? Get the surgery, keep keep your
- 7:15Speaker 2: keep your guy healthy, and just go do you know
- 7:17Speaker 2: what this season from now? We will talk about this
- 7:21Speaker 2: a little bit later, I'm sure, but do you just
- 7:23Speaker 2: go we're two and eight, we start rebuilding, we start
- 7:26Speaker 2: seeing what are the positives, and you let Drevor get
- 7:27Speaker 2: a surgery. I don't know, man, I.
- 7:30Speaker 1: Think if it was any other player, you might not
- 7:32Speaker 1: be having maybe this, you know, a conversation that would
- 7:35Speaker 1: would be so nuanced almost. But with somebody who signed
- 7:39Speaker 1: his big contract, he would have wanted this season to
- 7:43Speaker 1: go with a you know, without a hitch. Obviously, he
- 7:46Speaker 1: wanted to really show what he can do as a
- 7:49Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. With somebody who has signed you know, his
- 7:52Speaker 1: mammoth deal as well. He wouldn't want his season to
- 7:54Speaker 1: go this way, and he won't want it to end
- 7:57Speaker 1: this way as well. So if there's any way he
- 8:00Speaker 1: can get back on the field and be like, you
- 8:01Speaker 1: know what, we've only won two games this season, but
- 8:05Speaker 1: you know, the tail end of the season we did X,
- 8:08Speaker 1: Y and Z. We won however many games. Suddenly the
- 8:11Speaker 1: conversation changes amongst fans a lot. You know, you only
- 8:15Speaker 1: need to see how the season ended last year, don't
- 8:17Speaker 1: your key, And to see how the conversation amongst fans
- 8:22Speaker 1: at some especially earlier in the off season, it wasn't
- 8:25Speaker 1: as positive as it might have been had they ended
- 8:27Speaker 1: on a couple wins. You know, I feel like you
- 8:30Speaker 1: get a couple of wins under your belt towards the
- 8:32Speaker 1: end of the season and Trevor Lawrence is playing lights out,
- 8:36Speaker 1: then fans are going to be feeling different to how
- 8:39Speaker 1: they would if Trevor doesn't play at all for the
- 8:41Speaker 1: rest of the season. But you know, at the same time,
- 8:43Speaker 1: it's long term health.
- 8:44Speaker 2: Yeah, it's long term health. And also for the second
- 8:47Speaker 2: half of last season, he played pretty regularly injured and
- 8:52Speaker 2: it wasn't he did great, And my question would be,
- 8:55Speaker 2: why would we do that again? It didn't work, Yeah,
- 8:58Speaker 2: it didn't work last Long term health is the most
- 9:00Speaker 2: important thing.
- 9:01Speaker 1: Isn't it. I mean, even you know, long term health
- 9:03Speaker 1: for your quarterback is only ever going to be long
- 9:05Speaker 1: term health for the state of your team as well. Well. Anyway,
- 9:08Speaker 1: Doug Peterson didn't say that they've even spoken about surgery,
- 9:11Speaker 1: so this is all sort of hypothetical at the moment.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Mac Jones will be stopped. Well, speak about the Lions
- 9:16Speaker 1: game in a bit when we Mac Jones will be
- 9:18Speaker 1: starting that game though.
- 9:20Speaker 2: C J.
- 9:21Speaker 1: Beffard, remember.
- 9:24Speaker 2: Ridiculous. I was talking to Georgia I Runner on Monday,
- 9:28Speaker 2: and I said, and I realized c. J. Befford has
- 9:31Speaker 2: won a third of the jags last three games for
- 9:36Speaker 2: the Jags.
- 9:38Speaker 1: The last three weeks.
- 9:40Speaker 2: Yeah, the last three wins, the last three wins last
- 9:44Speaker 2: season belonged to.
- 9:47Speaker 1: That's why, isn't it. That's what that was. That's almost
- 9:50Speaker 1: as good as a stat that I found out the
- 9:51Speaker 1: other day, non Jags related stat, which was, up until
- 9:54Speaker 1: I think the last game or the game before, the
- 9:57Speaker 1: Chiefs had won two Super Bowls in the say amount
- 10:00Speaker 1: of time that had taken Daniel Jones to throw two
- 10:03Speaker 1: touchdowns at MetLife Stadium, which is and I said, I remember,
- 10:07Speaker 1: I said to I was talking to you, Phoebe, She's great.
- 10:12Speaker 1: She told me that, and I was like, is that true?
- 10:16Speaker 1: Because you know it just did not see it true anyway.
- 10:19Speaker 3: Anyway, anyway, we'll.
- 10:20Speaker 1: Get onto the Detroit Lions game. Obviously, we've still got
- 10:23Speaker 1: the big question to come from a Jacksonville Jaguars fan
- 10:26Speaker 1: here in the UK and Ireland first, So let's hear
- 10:29Speaker 1: it from a man who had a great game against
- 10:31Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. Obviously the result wasn't exactly how that
- 10:33Speaker 1: he wanted it to be. Tyson Campbell of the Jacksonville Jaguars,
- 10:38Speaker 1: thanks for joining till talk.
- 10:39Speaker 3: Man.
- 10:39Speaker 1: How's it going?
- 10:40Speaker 4: Man? Going well? Man, Cakey playing, you know, another opportunity
- 10:44Speaker 4: to get a victory. So I'm excited.
- 10:46Speaker 1: Really briefly, just like, look back at that last game.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Good game for you person against the Vikings. In fact,
- 10:51Speaker 1: you know what, it was a good game for the
- 10:53Speaker 1: whole of the defense. Really, how do you look at
- 10:56Speaker 1: that and think, right, how do we build on that
- 10:58Speaker 1: for the rest of the season.
- 11:00Speaker 4: Yeah, like you said, man, something to build off of,
- 11:02Speaker 4: kind of creating a standard we want to have, you
- 11:05Speaker 4: know moving forward. You know Jacksonville here, so you know,
- 11:09Speaker 4: keeping teams out the end zone, and you know, creating
- 11:12Speaker 4: turnovers is what you want to make your defense about.
- 11:15Speaker 4: So you know, we learned from the mistakes we have
- 11:17Speaker 4: from the game and continue to build on it this
- 11:20Speaker 4: week in practice and you know, hopefully you know, repeat
- 11:23Speaker 4: the same performance this week.
- 11:24Speaker 1: We as you say, you know, you know you want turnovers,
- 11:27Speaker 1: and that's exactly what happened in that last game. You know,
- 11:29Speaker 1: difficult season for the Jackie as a whole. As a whole,
- 11:31Speaker 1: I think it's fair to say maybe yourself as well,
- 11:33Speaker 1: you know, the injuries. How do you how do you
- 11:35Speaker 1: stay resilient during like you know, tough periods of being
- 11:39Speaker 1: you know, a pro football player.
- 11:41Speaker 4: I think it's basically on my faith in my Lord,
- 11:45Speaker 4: say Jesus Christ, just staying heavy in prayer, you know,
- 11:49Speaker 4: having faith in him, and then also just leaning on
- 11:52Speaker 4: my brothers, you know, knowing their support and they helped
- 11:57Speaker 4: with me, and you know, my friends and family you
- 11:59Speaker 4: know me as well. So I think I think that
- 12:02Speaker 4: definitely paid a part and allowed me to be resilient
- 12:05Speaker 4: and you know, having faith knowing I can you know,
- 12:07Speaker 4: come back and be like my old self.
- 12:10Speaker 2: Tyson. What's it been like having coach Nilson come in
- 12:13Speaker 2: this season. How much how much of a difference does
- 12:16Speaker 2: that make? What are the major differences between previous dcs
- 12:19Speaker 2: and coach Nilson?
- 12:22Speaker 4: I think, you know, coach Nilson and Bes are different,
- 12:25Speaker 4: you know, energy and tenacity, approach. You know, when it
- 12:29Speaker 4: comes to his defense, his model is you know, attacking aggressive.
- 12:34Speaker 4: You know, not only does he want a defense that
- 12:37Speaker 4: you know makes turnovers and but he wants a defense
- 12:40Speaker 4: that's physical and that puts, that's aggressive and you know,
- 12:45Speaker 4: attacking every play. I think his energy really sets him apart.
- 12:49Speaker 3: You.
- 12:49Speaker 1: Congratulations on a new deal as well, obviously, I mean
- 12:51Speaker 1: it might seem like a long time ago now, but
- 12:53Speaker 1: you know, congratulations locking you into the Jaguars for for
- 12:56Speaker 1: four more years and more importantly as well, I'm sure
- 12:59Speaker 1: this is the primary thing. Four more years of coming
- 13:02Speaker 1: to light to London too, I.
- 13:04Speaker 4: Said, yeah, man, I appreciate you once again. Yeah, coming
- 13:08Speaker 4: to London is definitely, you know, a fun experience. I
- 13:11Speaker 4: think hopefully my parents won't be able to come for
- 13:13Speaker 4: the first time next year, so I'm excited love it.
- 13:16Speaker 2: Can you tell us some of you have you been
- 13:18Speaker 2: a few times now? Tell us some of your highlights
- 13:20Speaker 2: over the years of coming to play in London.
- 13:23Speaker 3: Believe it or not.
- 13:24Speaker 4: These past two seasons were the first time I actually
- 13:27Speaker 4: went down to the to the city, but I definitely do.
- 13:32Speaker 4: London is a beautiful city. Kind of reminds me of
- 13:34Speaker 4: New York, more cleaner, much more cleaner.
- 13:39Speaker 2: Depends which parts you go to, but yeah, but.
- 13:44Speaker 4: I definitely enjoyed kind of a new scenery. You know,
- 13:49Speaker 4: it's pretty It's been pretty much cold every time I went,
- 13:53Speaker 4: but yeah, it's it's a fun experience overall.
- 13:56Speaker 1: You know, what do you do when you when you
- 13:58Speaker 1: go out to the to the city. I mean, I
- 13:59Speaker 1: know that there's some of your teammates enjoy going, you know, shopping,
- 14:03Speaker 1: maybe trying some British food.
- 14:05Speaker 4: Yeah, I won't do too much having, but I definitely
- 14:08Speaker 4: and those in food and the restaurants out there.
- 14:11Speaker 1: I mean I ask every single person, every single person
- 14:14Speaker 1: we have on this podcast that tries, that goes out
- 14:17Speaker 1: and tries British food. There's this stereotype that we don't
- 14:20Speaker 1: have a good food here in the UK. You need
- 14:23Speaker 1: to comment on that, man, You need to tell us
- 14:25Speaker 1: is that right or is that wrong?
- 14:26Speaker 4: It's wrong. The food that I've had in London it's
- 14:29Speaker 4: been pretty good, so I haven't had a bad experience.
- 14:32Speaker 1: So that's good so far. You know, look, the big receivers,
- 14:35Speaker 1: they keep on coming. You had justin Jefferson last weekend,
- 14:40Speaker 1: Amon Rass and Brown with the Detroit Lions this weekend.
- 14:44Speaker 1: You know, do you find yourself getting more motivated when
- 14:47Speaker 1: you have you know, some of the best bawlers around
- 14:49Speaker 1: that you're going to be lining up against.
- 14:51Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely.
- 14:52Speaker 1: You take it.
- 14:53Speaker 4: You know, you take it with pride and excitement to
- 14:56Speaker 4: be able to go against the best of the best
- 14:58Speaker 4: weekend and week out. And so I'm grateful for that, Betuney.
- 15:03Speaker 4: You know, I'm excited, you know, I learn to compete
- 15:05Speaker 4: and you know, ready to make some players and contribute
- 15:09Speaker 4: to giving us some w's.
- 15:11Speaker 1: That love it, man, love it. Thank you so much
- 15:13Speaker 1: for joining us until talk today. Man, all right, appreciate
- 15:16Speaker 1: you for having man. Tyson Campbell, the Jacksonville Jaguar was there.
- 15:21Speaker 1: You liked his his clothing choices. Actually, didn't you.
- 15:24Speaker 2: That retro hoodie was banging? Man? Yeah?
- 15:26Speaker 1: I love yeah. He said, Actually this was just before
- 15:29Speaker 1: we started. He said that it was his rookie year,
- 15:33Speaker 1: and I wonder if and I have no doubt that
- 15:36Speaker 1: they that, like NFL players will, but it depends what
- 15:38Speaker 1: they choose to if they keep those things, you know,
- 15:41Speaker 1: from their rookie year, because your rookie year will you know,
- 15:45Speaker 1: always be one of the most important years for your career,
- 15:48Speaker 1: you know, emotionally, if nothing else. Do you know what
- 15:50Speaker 1: I mean? So that you know that, hoodie, we'll be
- 15:52Speaker 1: saying that in.
- 15:53Speaker 2: Fifty what every game I've ever been to, every media
- 15:58Speaker 2: event I've ever been to, I keep all the lanyards.
- 16:01Speaker 2: So I imagine, yeah, they're keeping their stuff because their
- 16:04Speaker 2: stuff is going to be a lot nicer than lanyards, right.
- 16:07Speaker 1: So you know, you know, when you go into an
- 16:10Speaker 1: NFL game and you go through like this is going
- 16:13Speaker 1: to sound very lardly, dar now, it's not meant to
- 16:15Speaker 1: when you go through like the media, the media now
- 16:19Speaker 1: they have to like check your back obviously these Wembley
- 16:22Speaker 1: or or wherever, and then they put like a tag
- 16:26Speaker 1: on it essentially, and it will be like a Jaguars
- 16:28Speaker 1: themed tag and it'll be like Jaguars, you know, whoever
- 16:31Speaker 1: they're playing anyway, So I always bring the same bag
- 16:35Speaker 1: with me to all of these events. So I go
- 16:37Speaker 1: to the Saints Falcons game at the weekend, go through
- 16:41Speaker 1: the whole thing. The person just gets some scissors out
- 16:46Speaker 1: and just cuts it all off. And I'm looking there like, oh,
- 16:52Speaker 1: that's years, that's years of games. Obviously, I didn't say
- 16:56Speaker 1: anything because I do not have the I do not
- 16:59Speaker 1: did not have.
- 16:59Speaker 2: Any and holding a parent, don't challenge them.
- 17:03Speaker 1: That's a fair point, that's a fair point. I was like,
- 17:06Speaker 1: thank you, thank you very much, but inside I was dying.
- 17:10Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
- 17:11Speaker 1: He is worth because you know, people have said to
- 17:13Speaker 1: me before, oh, you're showing off with them. It's like, no,
- 17:15Speaker 1: it's just like a nice memory almost. Anyway. They are
- 17:19Speaker 1: now in a somewhere like a garbage can somewhere in
- 17:23Speaker 1: Louisiana anyway. Now, never mind, nice guy though, Tyson Campbell
- 17:33Speaker 1: clipping the stuff off your bag. Yeah no, not a
- 17:36Speaker 1: fan of him, not a fan of him whatsoever. Yeah,
- 17:38Speaker 1: Tyson Campbell, fan of his, fan of how he's playing
- 17:41Speaker 1: as well. And you know, he had a big hand
- 17:42Speaker 1: in that first that first interception. Didn't he in that
- 17:45Speaker 1: last game? So let's just hope that he can he
- 17:47Speaker 1: can bring it, he can bring.
- 17:50Speaker 2: In that secondary man.
- 17:51Speaker 1: I agree, I agree, And you know, what's actually interesting
- 17:55Speaker 1: is that we've spoken and we don't need to go
- 17:58Speaker 1: into the past. We don't need to look into the
- 17:59Speaker 1: past too much. But like we have spoken about how
- 18:02Speaker 1: at points this season the defense is needed to step up. Frankly,
- 18:05Speaker 1: it's needed to you know, at some points, it's been
- 18:07Speaker 1: pretty not fun to watch this last game. You don't
- 18:11Speaker 1: have Trevor Lawrence on o offense, you know, and that's
- 18:12Speaker 1: no disrespect to mac Jones, whatever, but the offense wasn't grinding,
- 18:15Speaker 1: it wasn't going as well as it should. Defense steps up,
- 18:19Speaker 1: not on the second week.
- 18:20Speaker 2: We talked about it a few weeks back, where like
- 18:23Speaker 2: all three phases have been doing decent stuff at some point,
- 18:30Speaker 2: just sadly rarely.
- 18:31Speaker 1: At the same time, we're going to Duval dispatches and
- 18:34Speaker 1: we have spoken about this over the last couple of weeks,
- 18:36Speaker 1: and I wanted to before we even start speaking about this,
- 18:39Speaker 1: I want to be clear that Key is not eligible
- 18:42Speaker 1: for this. He's not, as much as he says that
- 18:45Speaker 1: he thinks he is. He is not.
- 18:46Speaker 2: Eligible for this. They've already written to me.
- 18:49Speaker 1: The NFL has to launched this international Fan of the
- 18:52Speaker 1: Year competition. So if you think you qualify. Basically, if
- 18:55Speaker 1: you aren't key, make sure you get yourself onto NFL
- 18:59Speaker 1: dot com to register what makes you the best international
- 19:02Speaker 1: Jags fan. It is closing soon, get your applications in asap.
- 19:06Speaker 1: And you know, I think this is a big, big deal.
- 19:11Speaker 2: This is too. I was thinking about this this week.
- 19:13Speaker 2: There's so many people your application. I was writing my
- 19:18Speaker 2: bio now, I was thinking about how many decent submissions
- 19:23Speaker 2: that they're going to get from Jags fans internationally, because
- 19:27Speaker 2: there's there's a lot of them, and there's a lot
- 19:30Speaker 2: of them that really go to town, particularly on game day.
- 19:33Speaker 2: It's great fun.
- 19:34Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's a big deal. And I know that
- 19:36Speaker 1: you get some you know previously anyway, there's been some
- 19:39Speaker 1: really cool things happening afterwards. So if you think that
- 19:43Speaker 1: this might be NFL dot com, go register and look,
- 19:47Speaker 1: we also want to give away something very very special
- 19:50Speaker 1: this episode. Frankly, we're quite like to get it myself.
- 19:52Speaker 1: But this year, this year, as I'm sure you are
- 19:59Speaker 1: aware already, we celebrate thirty seasons, the thirtieth season of
- 20:03Speaker 1: the franchise's history, and we had a range of bespoke
- 20:06Speaker 1: merchandise created that was on sale during our Wembley game.
- 20:09Speaker 1: So we have a fantastic Teal like Teal Teal talk.
- 20:16Speaker 1: See what I'm saying, it's good stuff. Well, we have
- 20:20Speaker 1: a fantastic Teal hoodie available for one lucky listener. So
- 20:23Speaker 1: to be in with a chance of winning, tell us
- 20:25Speaker 1: why you need this hoodie in your life. Get over
- 20:28Speaker 1: to our YouTube right now and put down why you
- 20:32Speaker 1: think you deserve it. So it's at Jaguar's UK. Make
- 20:36Speaker 1: sure you subscribe to it. Get onto this video or
- 20:39Speaker 1: you know another video that we've put up recently on
- 20:42Speaker 1: Jaguar's UK, and right why you think that you deserve
- 20:45Speaker 1: that hoodie. I want to be clear as well, because
- 20:47Speaker 1: previously people have written poems and they've won. You don't
- 20:50Speaker 1: have to do that.
- 20:51Speaker 3: You know.
- 20:52Speaker 2: I mean a limerick is always nice.
- 20:54Speaker 1: Yeah, it's always nice. Don't.
- 20:55Speaker 2: You don't have to, but it is nice, it will be.
- 20:57Speaker 1: You don't have to do that, Hiku key, No, you
- 21:01Speaker 1: don't have to do that. You don't have to do that.
- 21:04Speaker 1: That's a great okay, all right? What is on the
- 21:09Speaker 1: Sky Show this week anyway? With Reese Parker?
- 21:12Speaker 2: We have the highlights of the Vikings game. JP and
- 21:17Speaker 2: Reese then break it down Tony's going to preview the
- 21:20Speaker 2: Lions game. But highlight for me is lots of slow
- 21:25Speaker 2: motion shots of Darnell Savage with that third interception, and
- 21:30Speaker 2: then an interview between Reese and him they talk about
- 21:34Speaker 2: jewelry game.
- 21:35Speaker 1: I may have prompted that, well, you've got a good
- 21:37Speaker 1: jewelry game. To be fair.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Obsessed with jewelry, Darnell Savage's jewelry game is very very good.
- 21:43Speaker 2: SkySports NFL repeated throughout the week, and then all of
- 21:46Speaker 2: the bits will make it onto the Jaguars UK YouTube
- 21:49Speaker 2: channel later on in the week.
- 21:50Speaker 1: Can I tell you my favorite bit of the show
- 21:52Speaker 1: every single week as well? The you think I'm gonna
- 21:56Speaker 1: say so much? Oh you think I'm gonna say it?
- 21:57Speaker 1: Might our phs at the end of this No, I
- 22:01Speaker 1: forgot about that. No, there was one time that you
- 22:04Speaker 1: put footage out though of the show. I haven't done
- 22:06Speaker 1: it since this week. You're it coincidentally, Walker, Okay, fine, whatever.
- 22:24Speaker 1: That wasn't even going to be what I was going
- 22:25Speaker 1: to say. And no disrespect to Reese, no disrespect to JP.
- 22:30Speaker 1: But Tony Boselli being on, he is vocal, he is
- 22:35Speaker 1: gives his opinions. And as you know, all of fame
- 22:39Speaker 1: that he is, he is able to give his opinions.
- 22:41Speaker 1: He deserves to give his opinions. He is incredibly articulate
- 22:44Speaker 1: with his feelings about the Jacksonville Jaguars as well. Every
- 22:46Speaker 1: single week that's always.
- 22:47Speaker 2: It's really good stuff. Do you know what it's also
- 22:49Speaker 2: really good about it is that, generally speaking, they record
- 22:52Speaker 2: that after Happy Hour, so Tony's had a chance to
- 22:55Speaker 2: practice everything he's going to say, and then he says
- 22:57Speaker 2: it even better for our show, which is great.
- 23:00Speaker 1: Right, great, even more articulate, that's even better. Okay, f
- 23:05Speaker 1: Yr We're gonna go into the big question in a moment,
- 23:07Speaker 1: so we get a Jacksonville Janguars fan for me.
- 23:09Speaker 2: I didn't realize. I didn't recognize what you said. Then
- 23:12Speaker 2: go into the what the big question? That's not how
- 23:15Speaker 2: you normally say it, Ja, please say how you normally
- 23:17Speaker 2: say it?
- 23:18Speaker 1: Okay, the big question it's been getting bigger. If I
- 23:22Speaker 1: was going to do that, I was gonna do that
- 23:24Speaker 1: in a second. I was going to do that in
- 23:25Speaker 1: a second. We're going to go into it in a
- 23:27Speaker 1: second where we get a fan from the UK and
- 23:29Speaker 1: Ireland on to give us other big question. If you
- 23:33Speaker 1: want to be featured as our Fan of the week

- 23:37Speaker 1: upcoming game game, get in touch via the media drop

- 23:49Speaker 1: to give it a going not not being a fan
- 23:51Speaker 1: as in the big question? No, no, but a big
- 23:53Speaker 1: question you can say if you want.
- 23:55Speaker 2: Okay, it's time for the big question. It's good.
- 24:01Speaker 1: That was vomit inducing.
- 24:04Speaker 2: That was That's what it's like every week for me.
- 24:07Speaker 2: So thanks.
- 24:09Speaker 1: All right, that's welcome. This week's Fan of the Week
- 24:12Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguar fan of course from the UK and Ireland.
- 24:15Speaker 1: Simon FLATD. How's it going.
- 24:16Speaker 3: Mate, I'm good, I'm good, happy to be here. Thanks
- 24:19Speaker 3: for having me.
- 24:20Speaker 1: Oh not at all, man, not at all. I mean
- 24:21Speaker 1: I I caught up with you. Didn't night the games?
- 24:24Speaker 1: Literally had you on the podcast already a few weeks ago,
- 24:26Speaker 1: didn't we yes straight after.
- 24:28Speaker 3: Me straight after the game. It's fantastic.
- 24:31Speaker 1: Literally field side literally like you know, right by the
- 24:34Speaker 1: field and actually what happened there didn't it, Simon, Is
- 24:37Speaker 1: that you'd already messaged me and said, oh, you know,
- 24:40Speaker 1: I might see you at the game, and I just
- 24:42Speaker 1: saw you, which is weird. You never think that would happen,
- 24:45Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
- 24:46Speaker 3: Seas right underneath the press box and I'm walking out
- 24:49Speaker 3: and you're running down.
- 24:50Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 24:50Speaker 1: I was like, all right, let's have a chat then, mate.
- 24:53Speaker 1: What is your big question.
- 24:56Speaker 3: With the season not unfolding as fans wanted or hoped
- 24:59Speaker 3: it to be, What can the Jaguars do to right
- 25:02Speaker 3: the ship and get us back on track?
- 25:05Speaker 1: An interesting question in fact, Simon, I think that's a
- 25:08Speaker 1: question that's going to be a lot of Jags fans
- 25:10Speaker 1: are probably thinking about right now and have been thinking about.
- 25:16Speaker 1: And it probably is not helped And we've already spoken
- 25:18Speaker 1: about it on the podcast as well, so we don't
- 25:20Speaker 1: need to delve into it too much deeper. But it's
- 25:22Speaker 1: not helped by the fact that your franchise quarterbacks is
- 25:27Speaker 1: unable to play At the moment. Does anything pop to mind? Key?
- 25:30Speaker 2: At some point we have to go, we're two and eight.
- 25:33Speaker 2: At some point do we just go what needs to
- 25:36Speaker 2: happen for the rest of this season is we need
- 25:38Speaker 2: to identify strengths, identify weaknesses, and go. This is now
- 25:44Speaker 2: looking forward to twenty twenty five season and the off season,
- 25:49Speaker 2: and it's not necessarily going we're going to turn it around,
- 25:52Speaker 2: we're going to right the ship, we're going to make
- 25:54Speaker 2: a playoff run. But actually what we need to do
- 25:58Speaker 2: is go, let's settle down for a second, Let's find
- 26:03Speaker 2: out what's working, what isn't working, and start applying that
- 26:07Speaker 2: and just forget our expectations for the season, and do
- 26:12Speaker 2: you know what, just start playing better. Just start playing better.
- 26:18Speaker 2: For me, that's all I want for the rest of
- 26:20Speaker 2: the season. I don't expect anything anymore. I don't mind
- 26:25Speaker 2: a narrow loss if I think they've played well. The
- 26:31Speaker 2: frustrating thing is that they haven't played well and there's
- 26:34Speaker 2: more going wrong than is going right, and it makes
- 26:37Speaker 2: it so hard to stay positive and be a fan.
- 26:41Speaker 2: Whereas what I think if we just slightly pivot our
- 26:44Speaker 2: expectations to go, do you know what, let's look at
- 26:47Speaker 2: what's working, what isn't working, and start to build towards
- 26:51Speaker 2: the off season and the twenty twenty five season, that's
- 26:53Speaker 2: my take on it.
- 26:55Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that there'll be some I'll be frank
- 26:58Speaker 1: and I'll be honest. I think there'll be some fair
- 27:00Speaker 1: right now that are thinking, you know, two and eight,
- 27:04Speaker 1: let's let's just you know, we're we're in a difficult
- 27:08Speaker 1: situation right now. Playoffs look unlikely. Let's just go all
- 27:12Speaker 1: out for the number one draft pick. And I want
- 27:14Speaker 1: to be clear and say that nobody, nobody is thinking
- 27:18Speaker 1: about that in the in the organization, nobody, every single
- 27:23Speaker 1: at the end of the at the end of the day,
- 27:24Speaker 1: every single one of those players, every single one of
- 27:27Speaker 1: those coaches, general manager, whatever like front office, they have
- 27:31Speaker 1: a job to do. They won't be satisfied with the
- 27:33Speaker 1: job that they're doing, and at the end of the day,
- 27:36Speaker 1: they won't want to be known as somebody who hasn't performed,
- 27:42Speaker 1: you know, so that isn't going to happen. I really
- 27:44Speaker 1: like what you said. They're key about. It is about
- 27:48Speaker 1: analyzing who you've got and what you've got right now
- 27:52Speaker 1: and what you can take forward because this won't be
- 27:55Speaker 1: the team next year. It won't be the team next
- 27:57Speaker 1: year because that's just not how NFL rosters work. It's
- 27:59Speaker 1: nothing to do with the Jaguars. It just won't be
- 28:01Speaker 1: the team they'll be there'll be players that move on that,
- 28:03Speaker 1: new players that come in. Obviously there's going to be
- 28:05Speaker 1: draft picks. So it's about seeing, right, who are we
- 28:08Speaker 1: comfortable with, who is a good fit. Who do we
- 28:12Speaker 1: see in our you know roster next year? Who do
- 28:15Speaker 1: we see in our you know, starting lineups next year?
- 28:17Speaker 1: Who are the potential captains next year they might not
- 28:19Speaker 1: be the same, you know, And then looking forward to
- 28:22Speaker 1: next year as well? Do they do that now? I
- 28:25Speaker 1: think as fans we can do that. I think the
- 28:27Speaker 1: front office will be thinking that, but I think that
- 28:29Speaker 1: the coaches really are going to be thinking next week,
- 28:32Speaker 1: week after week after And it's tough really in this
- 28:35Speaker 1: situation because there is no obvious answer here because whatever
- 28:42Speaker 1: you do isn't going to make a difference short term,
- 28:45Speaker 1: you get you know, some fans might be thinking, let's
- 28:48Speaker 1: get a new head coach. It's not going to make
- 28:50Speaker 1: a difference, not going to make a difference, you know.
- 28:54Speaker 2: That's talking about that in the middle of a season
- 28:57Speaker 2: is Yeah, I just don't think that's helpful. Time Tony
- 29:01Speaker 2: says it every week on the show that the Jags lose,
- 29:04Speaker 2: there's no point thinking about four weeks down the road.
- 29:07Speaker 2: There's no point thinking about the off season. Think about
- 29:10Speaker 2: your next practice, think about your next rep, next practice,
- 29:14Speaker 2: walk through game on Sunday. That's it. Think about that,
- 29:17Speaker 2: think about doing the best that you can do up
- 29:20Speaker 2: until that point. And that's do you know what, as
- 29:22Speaker 2: fans I reckon, that's what we should be doing as well.
- 29:26Speaker 1: And also, you know, it's it's important because it might
- 29:29Speaker 1: be some units that might not have had the best
- 29:31Speaker 1: first part of the season. I mean, we just spoke
- 29:33Speaker 1: about how the defense had been playing great, and they
- 29:34Speaker 1: played well in that last game, you know, so it's
- 29:37Speaker 1: like if they were to go on and certain players
- 29:42Speaker 1: were to shine well, your thoughts about the defense is
- 29:46Speaker 1: suddenly very different to how they were at the beginning
- 29:47Speaker 1: of the season. Anyway, what do you think, Simon, what's
- 29:51Speaker 1: your opinion?
- 29:51Speaker 3: There's no right answer for right now. There needs to
- 29:54Speaker 3: be kind of, I say, the review of how do
- 29:57Speaker 3: we handle next year at this point, they need to
- 30:00Speaker 3: to be the review of what quality players we've got,
- 30:03Speaker 3: how do we get them to perform at the highest level,
- 30:06Speaker 3: and you know, what can we bring in to make
- 30:09Speaker 3: them better for next year, whether that's coaching or other
- 30:12Speaker 3: swapping out team members or whatever it needs to be
- 30:15Speaker 3: of what is next, not necessarily what is now. We
- 30:18Speaker 3: need to get the most out of the players. We
- 30:19Speaker 3: have to then move forward to be a better Jaguars
- 30:23Speaker 3: next year.
- 30:23Speaker 1: I can understand why. You know, that's very frustrating for
- 30:26Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars fans. And Simon, you're a Jags fan. Obviously
- 30:30Speaker 1: you've brought your partner, is that right into being a
- 30:34Speaker 1: Jags fan as well?
- 30:35Speaker 3: Yes, yes, So I've been a Jags fan for about
- 30:39Speaker 3: a decade now. So I first started watching Super Bowls
- 30:44Speaker 3: and stuff way back when, and then I went to
- 30:46Speaker 3: a random NFL game at Wembley twenty fifteen and bought
- 30:51Speaker 3: the quarterback at the Times Jersey. So I ended up
- 30:53Speaker 3: with the Battles Jersey and was like, right, I'm a
- 30:56Speaker 3: Jags fan. Now I'm here. And then I've been my
- 30:59Speaker 3: partner for most of that time and she had no
- 31:01Speaker 3: interest in it whatsoever. And last year I started playing
- 31:05Speaker 3: for my local team, so I played for the Bombers,
- 31:09Speaker 3: and she then of course comes down supports me, supports
- 31:12Speaker 3: what I'm doing, and has seeing the game and seeing
- 31:14Speaker 3: me doing it and seeing that the mechanics are what
- 31:17Speaker 3: actually goes on and she's then being brought in accordingly
- 31:20Speaker 3: that now she's a Jags fan because she'll sit with
- 31:22Speaker 3: me on a Sunday evening watch the game, you know,
- 31:25Speaker 3: love it as it were.
- 31:26Speaker 2: What position you're playing, Simon, I'm a center? Fantastic?
- 31:30Speaker 1: Oh okay, so do you play like full contact? Oh?
- 31:33Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah? This is actually my helmet that you can
- 31:36Speaker 3: see behind me.
- 31:37Speaker 1: Brilliant because it's we'll get onto your background in a second,
- 31:40Speaker 1: but helmet behind you. Yeah, because it said bombers on it,
- 31:43Speaker 1: and I was thinking a second ago, what's that about.
- 31:46Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think that's a Jags thing
- 31:48Speaker 1: that I've missed, you know what I mean? How do
- 31:50Speaker 1: you find playing?
- 31:51Speaker 3: Then?
- 31:51Speaker 1: Do you do you enjoy it?
- 31:53Speaker 3: Yes? Yes, So I've been playing for two years now
- 31:57Speaker 3: and it was a struggle to start with on very
- 32:01Speaker 3: little sport before that, but I'm now in a position
- 32:04Speaker 3: where I've kind of got my body conditioned to play
- 32:06Speaker 3: for three hours on a Sunday. And yeah, it's amazing
- 32:11Speaker 3: that a team camaraderie we have, like the our offensive
- 32:14Speaker 3: line where a little unit within a unit, as it were,
- 32:17Speaker 3: and you know, as literally before the call today, I
- 32:19Speaker 3: was messaging them going what's my big question going to
- 32:22Speaker 3: be and getting their inputs, and yeah, it's you know,
- 32:25Speaker 3: everyone supports different NFL teams, but we'll support the Bombers.
- 32:29Speaker 1: I think that's amazing. And and you know what, I
- 32:31Speaker 1: think that there's a slight not misconception per se, but
- 32:36Speaker 1: if you want to get involved in American football, you
- 32:38Speaker 1: can get involved in American football here in the UK,
- 32:41Speaker 1: you know, whether it's you know, I mean, obviously the
- 32:43Speaker 1: Jags themselves do so many amazing things, whether it's flag
- 32:46Speaker 1: football or otherwise. Because for me, I'm too scared to
- 32:50Speaker 1: play full contact American football. I don't think I have
- 32:54Speaker 1: the physique for it, to be honest with you, well,
- 32:56Speaker 1: you know, maybe flag. I've played flag, I think. But
- 33:00Speaker 1: I think it's amazing that you know that there's that camaraderie,
- 33:03Speaker 1: as you say, because you hear about a lot of
- 33:05Speaker 1: NFL teams, don't you, But to have it, to have
- 33:08Speaker 1: it when you're playing here in the UK is amazing.
- 33:10Speaker 1: Do you want to talk us through your background then,
- 33:12Speaker 1: because as far as I can see, you've got one
- 33:15Speaker 1: personalized jersey, you're wearing one You've got is it two
- 33:19Speaker 1: helmets behind you? Four caps. You've got a ball. Two
- 33:25Speaker 1: are they like game flags or towels, So these two
- 33:29Speaker 1: flags are flags that you get on the chair at Wembley.
- 33:33Speaker 3: So I've got every flag that was ever on the
- 33:36Speaker 3: chair at Wembley that I've been to, apart from the
- 33:39Speaker 3: one year that made it out of a bin bag
- 33:41Speaker 3: and it fell apart before I've got out stadium. Literally,
- 33:45Speaker 3: if you were there, it was literally the hard plastict
- 33:48Speaker 3: thats fell apart rather than fabric. I've got my actual
- 33:51Speaker 3: Bomber's helmet. I've got a mini Riddell helmet for Jags
- 33:55Speaker 3: and the same for the Bombers. Two little mini even
- 33:59Speaker 3: mini Riddell helmets down here that Duke football was actually
- 34:05Speaker 3: I bought that at the same time I got my
- 34:06Speaker 3: Batles jersey at Wembley twenty fifteen. And since I bought that,
- 34:10Speaker 3: that has now actually been on the field and played
- 34:12Speaker 3: a bit with us at the Bombers just as price
- 34:15Speaker 3: so nice. And yet I have more hats than you
- 34:19Speaker 3: can imagine I have. I'veould put a handful of them out. Generally,
- 34:23Speaker 3: if I go to a game, I'm going to come
- 34:25Speaker 3: back with a hat. This was this year's hat that
- 34:28Speaker 3: I came back with I've got my prize. Trevor Lawrence jersey,
- 34:32Speaker 3: my minshew jersey. I got that the first year he
- 34:35Speaker 3: was playing for US. He got that at Wembley. This
- 34:39Speaker 3: the personal flood jersey is actually my game day jersey.
- 34:42Speaker 3: That's what I played on a game day, which is
- 34:44Speaker 3: why it's got my number on it. If I plays
- 34:46Speaker 3: number seventy two.
- 34:47Speaker 1: Why do you play seventy two? Is there any reason
- 34:49Speaker 1: for that?
- 34:50Speaker 3: The official reason is that it's the the year my
- 34:52Speaker 3: brother was born.
- 34:54Speaker 1: So what's the unofficial reason.
- 34:57Speaker 3: That they laid out all the jerseys in size or
- 35:00Speaker 3: and he was the only one that fit? Ha?
- 35:05Speaker 2: I like both?
- 35:06Speaker 1: Which one? Did you tell your brother?
- 35:09Speaker 3: The first one? Of course?
- 35:09Speaker 1: Yet?
- 35:11Speaker 2: That ye?
- 35:12Speaker 3: Podcast?
- 35:14Speaker 1: Yeah, I was on a podcast, bro, but I don't
- 35:16Speaker 1: think you'd be interested in listening to it. Thank you
- 35:20Speaker 1: so much for joining us today, Simon. It's been brilliant.
- 35:23Speaker 1: We are going to talk about the Detroit Lions game
- 35:26Speaker 1: after this. Every single week we have a fan predict
- 35:32Speaker 1: the score of the game and join in with our
- 35:36Speaker 1: tally our charts so far, I'm on four, he's on two.
- 35:41Speaker 1: Fans are on two. What do you predict the score?
- 35:44Speaker 3: Will be. The big question is is Trevor going to play.
- 35:47Speaker 1: No, he's been confirmed he's not going to play.
- 35:50Speaker 3: Okay, so in which case, I think either way, it's
- 35:55Speaker 3: going to be a very tight game, in the same
- 35:57Speaker 3: way as the Vikings game was tight. I think think
- 36:00Speaker 3: it's going to be something like a fourteen to seventeen
- 36:05Speaker 3: game or something of that nature, just because I would
- 36:08Speaker 3: never say anything otherwise. I think it's going in favor
- 36:11Speaker 3: of the Jags, but it could be the.
- 36:15Speaker 1: Way seventeen fourteen Jags winning against Detroit Lions. Simon, thank
- 36:19Speaker 1: you so much for being on till Talk today.
- 36:21Speaker 3: Thanks very much, guys.
- 36:22Speaker 1: That is is that a big prediction I think there
- 36:26Speaker 1: from Simon Key, I know it's going to be different
- 36:30Speaker 1: to yours. We'll get to your prediction in the second,
- 36:32Speaker 1: but let's just talk through this game coming up on
- 36:35Speaker 1: Sunday two and eight. The Jags are right now mathematically
- 36:38Speaker 1: they still have a shot Texans. They dropped to six
- 36:43Speaker 1: and four with a loss to the Detroit Lions on
- 36:45Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football, who are obviously the next opponents for
- 36:49Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars, potentially the best team in the NFL.
- 36:54Speaker 1: The Detroit Lions.
- 36:55Speaker 2: Buying for the number one spot in the NFL, that's
- 36:57Speaker 2: for sure.
- 36:58Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 36:58Speaker 1: Yeah, Like great performance against the Texans as well, coming
- 37:02Speaker 1: from far behind, but multiple interceptions for Jared Goff. They
- 37:08Speaker 1: are eight and one. Last time the Jags played with
- 37:11Speaker 1: the Lions twenty twenty two, that got blows five interceptions
- 37:14Speaker 1: he threw Jay Yeah, yeah, go through five interceptions. I
- 37:18Speaker 1: think it's something like the first time in however many years,
- 37:20Speaker 1: it was a long long time that a player has
- 37:23Speaker 1: thrown five interceptions. They were down fifteen points and they
- 37:25Speaker 1: come back to win. So it's But the Detroit Lions,
- 37:29Speaker 1: you know, that was that word that people always use
- 37:31Speaker 1: about them, grit. They always say grit, Dan Cumberlan and
- 37:34Speaker 1: all the rest of it. So it is undoubtedly going
- 37:38Speaker 1: to be tough, and unfortunately I have to bring it
- 37:40Speaker 1: back to the thing that we've already spoken about is
- 37:42Speaker 1: that Trevor Lawrence is not going to be playing Key
- 37:46Speaker 1: mac Jones is going to be leading the offense, an
- 37:48Speaker 1: offense that had one good drive hut. The whole of
- 37:53Speaker 1: the of the last game and every the rest of
- 37:56Speaker 1: it was nothing much. Let's be honest, it was it
- 37:59Speaker 1: was nothing match.
- 38:01Speaker 2: They basically did nothing after that seventy plus yard drive,
- 38:06Speaker 2: did they Yeah, on offense, just.
- 38:08Speaker 1: To make things worse, Amon Russ and Brown, Jimmier Gibbs.
- 38:13Speaker 1: You've got Williams the burner there as well, David Montgomery.
- 38:17Speaker 1: They've got one of the best running back tandems in
- 38:19Speaker 1: the league. Great defense, and it's.
- 38:26Speaker 2: Style place to play as well. It is hostile up there.
- 38:31Speaker 2: It's a really really tough game. However, look at Sunday,
- 38:36Speaker 2: look against the Vikings. The Vikings, you could also say
- 38:40Speaker 2: one of the best teams, certainly in the NFC, possibly
- 38:43Speaker 2: in the whole league. Right, the Jags held them to
- 38:47Speaker 2: twelve points, kept them out of the end zone. If
- 38:51Speaker 2: you repeat that, and mac Jones can do more like
- 38:56Speaker 2: you did in that second drive, why not? Why not?
- 39:00Speaker 1: I mean it is asking Sorry, you're the positive one.
- 39:03Speaker 1: I think you're the positive one because I'm looking at this,
- 39:06Speaker 1: but like you've asked, you're saying, hey, do more of
- 39:09Speaker 1: that one drive and like, don't worry about all the
- 39:12Speaker 1: other stuff.
- 39:13Speaker 2: Hard, don't do the picks, and Mac mate, don't picks
- 39:21Speaker 2: when the balls snapped, just hold on to it, man.
- 39:25Speaker 2: Do the second drive. That was good. Do that again?
- 39:28Speaker 1: Scoring thing? Yeah, you should you should. It's going to
- 39:32Speaker 1: be a tough game on the this but I'll tell
- 39:34Speaker 1: you what. You know, what I was talking about a
- 39:37Speaker 1: little bit earlier on about how you want your season
- 39:40Speaker 1: to end well so then you can feel like there's
- 39:42Speaker 1: a bit of a you know, a vibe, like a
- 39:44Speaker 1: bit of hype, like some positivity going into the off season.
- 39:47Speaker 1: I know, a few weeks away from the off season still,
- 39:49Speaker 1: but wouldn't that be just a perfect little gem of
- 39:53Speaker 1: a result that you were that you were able to
- 39:56Speaker 1: hold on to Jaguars win. And not only did the
- 40:00Speaker 1: Jaguars win, they win against arguably the best team in
- 40:04Speaker 1: the NFL. Well, what does that say about the Jags?
- 40:06Speaker 1: More than you think?
- 40:08Speaker 3: So?
- 40:08Speaker 1: I think that there is a lot of a lot
- 40:10Speaker 1: of love and excitement to play this game, even if
- 40:14Speaker 1: they're not going to be the favorites.
- 40:15Speaker 2: I agree, I completely agree. And here's it wouldn't surprise
- 40:18Speaker 2: me at all if you told me the Jags now
- 40:21Speaker 2: make a playoff run and win the Super Bowl at
- 40:23Speaker 2: the end of the season. Also wouldn't surprise me. Here's
- 40:25Speaker 2: the thing, right, the Jags are two and eight, and yes,
- 40:30Speaker 2: that makes them currently the worst team in the NFL.
- 40:34Speaker 2: But actually they don't play like they're the worst team
- 40:37Speaker 2: in the NFL. Let's not forget they've had an incredibly
- 40:41Speaker 2: tough stretch of teams. They are not despite their record,
- 40:45Speaker 2: they are not the worst team in the NFL by
- 40:48Speaker 2: any means. And can they beat the Lions. Yeah, they
- 40:52Speaker 2: absolutely can beat the Lions.
- 40:54Speaker 1: And I think actually it is testament that generally speaking,
- 40:57Speaker 1: I don't think i've well, I don't think i've heard
- 40:59Speaker 1: one and I listened to a lot of stuff. I know,
- 41:02Speaker 1: read a lot of NFL stuff. I don't think i've
- 41:04Speaker 1: read or listened or watched one person say the Jaguars
- 41:07Speaker 1: are the worst team in the NFL or anything like that.
- 41:12Speaker 1: Sometimes circumstances comes into play, doesn't it. That was a
- 41:15Speaker 1: nice That was a nice. Can you give us like
- 41:16Speaker 1: a two sentence like bit of key positivity to end
- 41:20Speaker 1: a podcast on?
- 41:21Speaker 2: Dude, I just did it.
- 41:22Speaker 1: No, I know, but I spoke over it. So can
- 41:24Speaker 1: you do it again? Just give us another one.
- 41:27Speaker 2: They might be two and eight, but they're not that bad. Okay,
- 41:32Speaker 2: that's all you got.
- 41:33Speaker 3: That was what we got.
- 41:33Speaker 1: That was what we got. He give us a prediction.
- 41:36Speaker 2: I'm going to go I'm not going to go specific.
- 41:39Speaker 2: I'm going to go Jags score forty plus and Lions
- 41:43Speaker 2: score less than two ent two.
- 41:44Speaker 1: Okay, not specific at all. I did I did it again,
- 41:48Speaker 1: and I should go first because whenever you come out
- 41:51Speaker 1: with this, it just make me look boring or whatever. Unfortunately,
- 41:56Speaker 1: yet again, I know this is awful. I'm going to
- 41:59Speaker 1: have to say it's a Lions, a Lions win, a
- 42:03Speaker 1: Lion's win. I think that they are that without Trevor
- 42:07Speaker 1: Lawrence is going to be tough. Detroit Lions one of
- 42:09Speaker 1: the best teams in the league. Let's go with twenty
- 42:15Speaker 1: one seventeen. Twenty one seventeen. Okay, we'll be back next week.
