- 0:26Speaker 1: receiving here from the kickoff win against Carolina as well.

- 0:35Speaker 1: this feels pretty good. Week one victory. This is a
- 0:39Speaker 1: victory podcast this week.
- 0:41Speaker 2: It feels nice, doesn't it?
- 0:42Speaker 3: Jake, Jay, there was some rain about five minutes ago
- 0:46Speaker 3: in Brighton. Do you think we should delay the podcast?
- 0:48Speaker 1: It was very light rain.
- 0:50Speaker 2: Maybe we should delay by an hour and a half.
- 0:52Speaker 2: What do you think.
- 0:52Speaker 1: Maybe we should? Maybe we should kick off win Key
- 0:55Speaker 1: kickoff win against the Carolina Panthers to have a win.
- 0:58Speaker 3: How great to see some physical football. How great to
- 1:04Speaker 3: see the players talking positively as they left the field. Yeah,
- 1:08Speaker 3: fantastic Sunday night. How do you feel about it?
- 1:11Speaker 1: I feel I feel weird, and I'm going to explain
- 1:13Speaker 1: why I feel weird. Key Okay, because it was a
- 1:16Speaker 1: twenty six ten victory, and we're going to go through
- 1:19Speaker 1: this game a little bit and we'll talk about various
- 1:21Speaker 1: aspects of it. But the one thing that I'm gonna
- 1:23Speaker 1: take away from this game, and I think it is
- 1:26Speaker 1: partially because of those storms and the weather delay as well,
- 1:30Speaker 1: is that And I shouldn't say this because I'm not
- 1:34Speaker 1: like tempting fail or anything, but like it felt fine.
- 1:39Speaker 1: It felt good, Like it felt like the Jaguars were
- 1:43Speaker 1: in control of the entire match. And I think you
- 1:47Speaker 1: have a whole off season where you're thinking, you know,
- 1:49Speaker 1: this part needs to improve, this aspect, you know, we're
- 1:52Speaker 1: good here and all of that. Everything just seemed to
- 1:56Speaker 1: go well on the first game of the season.
- 1:59Speaker 2: Key yeahs.
- 2:01Speaker 3: Like there's a nervous system element of being a Jags
- 2:05Speaker 3: fan where you're constantly expecting something dramatic is going to happen,
- 2:10Speaker 3: something big, and I suppose the storm was a little
- 2:13Speaker 3: bit of that. But in terms of how the team performed,
- 2:16Speaker 3: they were in control, there were no surprises. They did
- 2:19Speaker 3: what they said they were going to do well.
- 2:22Speaker 1: I think that by the time that that weather delay occurred,
- 2:25Speaker 1: the Jags were already in such a good position in
- 2:27Speaker 1: the game. It felt like it was almost, you know,
- 2:30Speaker 1: playing out the rest of the game was you know,
- 2:33Speaker 1: I don't want to use the word formality, but I'm
- 2:34Speaker 1: gonna it felt like a formality. There was one a
- 2:37Speaker 1: couple of things I want to pick up on this game.
- 2:39Speaker 1: The first first thing, which I think was really really
- 2:44Speaker 1: you know, amazing to see, really great to see, was
- 2:47Speaker 1: that running game, particularly of course led by Travis Etn
- 2:52Speaker 1: leader in snaps, took full advantage one hundred and forty
- 2:55Speaker 1: three yards in this game, including you know, one.
- 2:57Speaker 3: Particular seventy one yard and that was that was straight
- 2:59Speaker 3: up the break and that for me was a real
- 3:02Speaker 3: big moment to come back from that hour and a
- 3:05Speaker 3: half or whatever it was delay. And then this play
- 3:08Speaker 3: happened almost immediately after that, a seventy one yard run.
- 3:12Speaker 3: I was like, Yeah, this is this is our day today.
- 3:16Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 3:16Speaker 1: And after all of that conversation as well about who's
- 3:19Speaker 1: going to be that running back one, Is it going
- 3:21Speaker 1: to be a committee, Is Tank Bigsby going to be
- 3:25Speaker 1: the running back one or no, Travis Etn he made
- 3:27Speaker 1: it his own by father leader in snaps, Tank Bigsby,
- 3:31Speaker 1: over the course of the last couple of days has
- 3:33Speaker 1: been traded for picks to the Philadelphia Eagles, which to
- 3:36Speaker 1: me is further confirmation that we are seeing no, this
- 3:39Speaker 1: is Travis Travis Etn's team, beashell. Tuton as well. Of
- 3:43Speaker 1: course he got some snaps. It's great to see him,
- 3:47Speaker 1: you know, get onto for his NFL debut as well.
- 3:50Speaker 1: That combined with the fact that the O line zero
- 3:54Speaker 1: sex in this game, it was a really i think,
- 3:57Speaker 1: accomplished performance and he exactly what you want to see,
- 4:01Speaker 1: you know, especially considering the O line and the running game.
- 4:05Speaker 3: Do you know what, I'm glad you've mentioned the offensive
- 4:07Speaker 3: line because Tony Basselli has been talking about the offensive
- 4:11Speaker 3: line for absolutely years on the radio show, and now
- 4:15Speaker 3: he's in a position to be able to do something
- 4:18Speaker 3: about it. And I think we saw massive I'm sure
- 4:21Speaker 3: we'll talk to Jason about it, but there were massive
- 4:23Speaker 3: improvements in the offensive line on Sunday.
- 4:25Speaker 2: There's still work to be done.
- 4:26Speaker 3: But the thing that stood out to me as we
- 4:28Speaker 3: were talking to Jason about it last week is that
- 4:31Speaker 3: coaching works like there were specific players Anton Harrison being
- 4:35Speaker 3: one of them where you can see the coaching in
- 4:38Speaker 3: the off season. This season has made a massive difference
- 4:41Speaker 3: to him. So that was really pleasing to see that
- 4:43Speaker 3: and pleasing to know that we talked about him specifically
- 4:46Speaker 3: on the podcast last week and about the coaching and
- 4:49Speaker 3: that hey, maybe we know what we're talking about.
- 4:52Speaker 1: It it wasn't I'd like to make it clear that
- 4:55Speaker 1: I say that it was in a complice performance that
- 4:57Speaker 1: it absolutely words. It doesn't mean that there weren't like
- 4:58Speaker 1: mistakes at any point. Lawrencey did throw an interception. I
- 5:02Speaker 1: would also just to like to say plaudits to Panthers J. C.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Horn for the most acrobatic interception that I think I've
- 5:08Speaker 1: seen in a while, to be honest with you. But
- 5:10Speaker 1: at the same time, both sides of the ball I
- 5:13Speaker 1: think did a really good job too. Interceptions for the
- 5:16Speaker 1: Jags as well, great. I mean, I think they were
- 5:19Speaker 1: both if I remember correctly, they were both three without
- 5:22Speaker 1: a penalty. J Yeah, well there was a pick six,
- 5:25Speaker 1: of course, but you can't forget the picture when you
- 5:27Speaker 1: look at all of this together. Look, I don't think
- 5:29Speaker 1: the Carolina Panther is going to be the most explosive
- 5:32Speaker 1: team that we that we're going to play this season. However,
- 5:35Speaker 1: for game one, week one, this is what you need.
- 5:39Speaker 1: And I think that when it comes to the Jags,
- 5:41Speaker 1: it's all we really could have asked for.
- 5:43Speaker 3: Dude, It's like we were saying last week, right, James
- 5:45Speaker 3: Gladston said they want to get better week week on
- 5:48Speaker 3: week right, and looking at how they played this Sunday
- 5:52Speaker 3: compared to the majority of the games that were played
- 5:55Speaker 3: last season, would you say that overall that was better?
- 5:57Speaker 3: I would say, yeah, probably that was overall better last season.
- 6:00Speaker 3: So that's all we can ask for. And as a fan,
- 6:03Speaker 3: if they get better than that every week, we're going
- 6:06Speaker 3: to be all right.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Man, We've got to talk about the fourth and one
- 6:09Speaker 1: choice as well. Fourth and one y in the JAG's
- 6:13Speaker 1: own half.
- 6:14Speaker 2: Isn't retrospect an amazing thing?
- 6:17Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean its a lot, doesn't it. It says
- 6:20Speaker 1: so much about how you want your you know, what
- 6:23Speaker 1: coach Cohen wants to do with this team.
- 6:25Speaker 3: To me, if you're on their thirty seven, that makes
- 6:29Speaker 3: I don't know, I think it was a thirty seven,
- 6:30Speaker 3: thirty six, whatever it was, right. If you're on their
- 6:32Speaker 3: thirty five yard line. That makes sense because you don't
- 6:35Speaker 3: have that far to go to get to the end zone.
- 6:38Speaker 3: But that's a real gutsy call and that's what they
- 6:41Speaker 3: said they were going to do, and that's what they're doing.
- 6:44Speaker 3: Because if you don't make that fourth and one, it
- 6:46Speaker 3: says one thing, you're massively relying on your defense. So
- 6:51Speaker 3: they've got a lot of faith in the defense if
- 6:53Speaker 3: you don't get that fourth and one, But also they've
- 6:55Speaker 3: got a lot of confidence in the offense to think,
- 6:57Speaker 3: no problem, we're going to go for that and we're
- 6:59Speaker 3: going to get it. And they got it, and I
- 7:01Speaker 3: think if we do that for the majority of the season,
- 7:04Speaker 3: great stuff.
- 7:05Speaker 4: Man.
- 7:05Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a nice little end around from Army Brown
- 7:07Speaker 1: as well. On that one. It's sort of been, I
- 7:10Speaker 1: want to say, popularized, But in the last couple of
- 7:12Speaker 1: years we've seen a lot more teams do it in
- 7:14Speaker 1: the NFL, haven't we, Dan Campbell, The Detroit Lions love
- 7:16Speaker 1: a good old fourth and one no matter where they
- 7:19Speaker 1: are on the field, and you're.
- 7:21Speaker 2: Like playing Madden in the early two.
- 7:24Speaker 1: But mentality, I think it does say a lot. I
- 7:26Speaker 1: think you're right no matter how that sort of ends up,
- 7:29Speaker 1: it shows that you do have confidence in your team.
- 7:31Speaker 1: I think that early on in the season. Actually, that
- 7:33Speaker 1: says a lot. All right, it's still to come on
- 7:34Speaker 1: the show. We're going to hear from Jason Bell. We're
- 7:36Speaker 1: going to get his thoughts on that game against the
- 7:38Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. We're going to get his thoughts on the
- 7:41Speaker 1: game coming up against the Cincinnati Bengals, which is going
- 7:43Speaker 1: to be a big one for Week two as well. First,
- 7:46Speaker 1: so let's hear my conversation with Brenton Strange, tight end
- 7:51Speaker 1: for the Jacksonville Jaguars. How's it going, man? How you doing?
- 7:55Speaker 5: It's going great. I appreciate you guys having me on.
- 7:58Speaker 1: Not at all, not at all. I mean, look, congratulate
- 8:00Speaker 1: on the Week one victory. I mean you led the
- 8:03Speaker 1: team and receiving yards. Didn't your fifty nine yards four
- 8:05Speaker 1: catches in the opener? Talk to me about that. How
- 8:08Speaker 1: did that feel for you? You know, getting week one?
- 8:09Speaker 1: You know done? And Dustin, how is that few? Personally,
- 8:12Speaker 1: it feels really good.
- 8:13Speaker 5: Honestly, it felt good on Sunday and I got to
- 8:16Speaker 5: enjoy it a little bit with my family and some
- 8:19Speaker 5: friends that were able to make the game, So it
- 8:21Speaker 5: felt really good. To enjoy that with them. But I'm
- 8:23Speaker 5: just I'm ready for the next thing now, Like I'm ready,
- 8:25Speaker 5: My mind's already moved on from last week and just
- 8:29Speaker 5: ready to get a good week of prepping for the
- 8:31Speaker 5: Bengals and make the most out of everything.
- 8:34Speaker 1: Yeah, at what point do you start just forgetting about
- 8:37Speaker 1: the game that's already happened, Like a day later, two
- 8:39Speaker 1: days later, I.
- 8:40Speaker 5: Would say, like Monday night, like, I'll watch the film
- 8:43Speaker 5: Sunday night after the game, and then Monday like, I'll
- 8:46Speaker 5: watch it one more time to just see if I
- 8:48Speaker 5: missed anything or just just correct myself technique wise, and
- 8:52Speaker 5: then kind of just flush it and move my mind
- 8:55Speaker 5: on to the next thing.
- 8:57Speaker 1: I want to talk about your blocking game. Actually in
- 8:59Speaker 1: that last game, if you don't mind obviously mentioned you're
- 9:01Speaker 1: receiving there but two big blocks in that game for
- 9:04Speaker 1: two of the probably the biggest players of the entire
- 9:07Speaker 1: game as well that that huge Travis et and seventy
- 9:10Speaker 1: plus yard run and the touchdown catch as well from
- 9:13Speaker 1: hunt along. Can you talk me through those two plays.
- 9:17Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm just I'm split flowing across the bar. That's
- 9:20Speaker 5: what we call it, slicing across the bar I'm going.
- 9:23Speaker 5: My technique is I'm going through the inside leg of
- 9:25Speaker 5: the backside tackle. So I'm just trying to keep a
- 9:27Speaker 5: tight track and just you know, it's it's a whilblock.
- 9:31Speaker 5: So just going in there and just throwing my body
- 9:34Speaker 5: in and being selfless for the team.
- 9:37Speaker 1: From a receiving point of view, I mean, Travis Hunter
- 9:40Speaker 1: joined the team. You know, you got d Army Brown
- 9:42Speaker 1: on the team, Brian Thomas Junior, who's quite a good
- 9:46Speaker 1: person at catching a ball, some really good receiving options there.
- 9:49Speaker 1: How are you finding, you know, like asserting yourself and
- 9:52Speaker 1: creating a role for yourself as well in this passing game.
- 9:55Speaker 5: I mean, I don't think I have to assert myself
- 9:57Speaker 5: at all. I mean we have great players, we have
- 9:59Speaker 5: great playing makers, and I think that those guys do
- 10:01Speaker 5: a great job of what they do and they honestly
- 10:03Speaker 5: just like those guys come out here every single day
- 10:06Speaker 5: and they do what they do and it inspires me
- 10:08Speaker 5: to go harder and it inspires the other guys around them.
- 10:11Speaker 5: So I don't I don't think anybody has to insert theirselves.
- 10:15Speaker 5: I think it's just just going out every single day
- 10:18Speaker 5: and just being who we are. We're in these positions
- 10:21Speaker 5: for a reason, and God put us here for a reason.
- 10:25Speaker 5: So I just think it's just going out here and
- 10:27Speaker 5: doing what we do.
- 10:30Speaker 1: Obviously, you've got this. You mentioned that the Bengals next
- 10:33Speaker 1: in week two one, and I already two and oh
- 10:37Speaker 1: how important would it be to get to two and
- 10:38Speaker 1: o and get these wins early on. So it's a
- 10:41Speaker 1: tough stretch in the first half of the season, particularly
- 10:43Speaker 1: for the Jags.
- 10:44Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it's a very long season. But it's
- 10:48Speaker 5: always the good good to get wins. Excuse me, it's
- 10:51Speaker 5: always good to get wins, no matter what part of
- 10:52Speaker 5: the season you're in. And that's obviously our goal every
- 10:55Speaker 5: time we step out onto the field is to win.
- 10:57Speaker 5: So you know, that's what makes me the happiest, is
- 11:01Speaker 5: just going out there and winning each each and every week.
- 11:05Speaker 5: But we're gonna come out here this week during the
- 11:07Speaker 5: week and execute like like we do and get our
- 11:11Speaker 5: prepping and once we do that, I think everything else
- 11:14Speaker 5: will take care of itself, you know.
- 11:15Speaker 1: And it was a good performance, you know, from from
- 11:17Speaker 1: all three stages of the ball against in the first week.
- 11:21Speaker 1: But moving towards the Bengals, how do you look at
- 11:24Speaker 1: that and how do you think, you know, we need
- 11:26Speaker 1: to build on this.
- 11:28Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's just about building on our momentum.
- 11:31Speaker 5: You know, we see how we played and obviously we
- 11:35Speaker 5: had some penalties, and I think it's just about cleaning
- 11:37Speaker 5: up the mistakes that we made, the self inflicting mistakes.
- 11:40Speaker 5: And if we can clean up the self inflicting mistakes,
- 11:43Speaker 5: and I think that we'll have a good shot not
- 11:45Speaker 5: only this next week, but throughout the entire year.
- 11:49Speaker 1: Look, when I do an interview Brenton, I like to
- 11:52Speaker 1: think that I do a little bit of preparation beforehand, right,
- 11:54Speaker 1: maybe find out a little bit about the person that
- 11:56Speaker 1: I'm speaking to. So I was like, okay, right, let's
- 11:59Speaker 1: see what I can find out about Brendon Strange that
- 12:01Speaker 1: I didn't know about already. I'm gonna be honest with you.
- 12:04Speaker 1: I came up shure. I mean, I couldn't find too
- 12:07Speaker 1: much about, you know, the personal life of Brenton Strange.
- 12:09Speaker 1: What you like to do, you know, when you're not
- 12:11Speaker 1: playing ball. This is your opportunity now to let us
- 12:14Speaker 1: know when you're not thinking about ball, when you're not
- 12:17Speaker 1: playing ball, when you're not on the practice field, what
- 12:20Speaker 1: do you get up to Yeah.
- 12:22Speaker 5: I mean I do a lot of different things. I
- 12:24Speaker 5: like to enjoy the outdoors, enjoy the mountains, enjoy the
- 12:29Speaker 5: beach here in Jacksonville. Travel. I enjoy it when we
- 12:33Speaker 5: go to London and we get the opportunity to, you know,
- 12:37Speaker 5: go experience a different culture, go experience different food, you
- 12:41Speaker 5: guys as well, the fans and the people. I enjoy that.
- 12:45Speaker 5: And you know, obviously the number one thing for me
- 12:49Speaker 5: is just family time. Spending time with my family, spending
- 12:51Speaker 5: time with my little brother, spending time with my mom,
- 12:54Speaker 5: everybody in my family. So those are probably my top
- 12:56Speaker 5: three things.
- 12:57Speaker 1: They are they down with you in Jacksonville?
- 13:00Speaker 5: Excuse me?
- 13:01Speaker 1: Do they live with you down in Jacksonville?
- 13:02Speaker 6: Nah?
- 13:03Speaker 7: Nah?
- 13:03Speaker 5: I live by myself. But whenever I get the opportunity
- 13:06Speaker 5: to see him or get to spend time with him,
- 13:08Speaker 5: that's that's probably my top favorite thing to do.
- 13:11Speaker 1: I mean, you mentioned London there, didn't you. It's literally
- 13:13Speaker 1: what like a month. I think it might be like
- 13:15Speaker 1: around a month to the day maybe that you're actually
- 13:17Speaker 1: going to be, you know, coming over here to the UK.
- 13:20Speaker 1: How you found spending time then over here?
- 13:23Speaker 5: You know, I like it a lot. I've i had
- 13:26Speaker 5: never been out of the country before until I went
- 13:28Speaker 5: to London. I took some trips this this offseason to
- 13:31Speaker 5: some different places out out of the country, but my
- 13:33Speaker 5: rookie year, I had never been out of the country before. So,
- 13:35Speaker 5: like I said, it was just like experiencing your guys' culture,
- 13:38Speaker 5: experiencing you know, the real the real pastas and stuff
- 13:42Speaker 5: like that. I'm a big pasta guy, so uh, just
- 13:45Speaker 5: just doing things like that, and you guys have a
- 13:48Speaker 5: have a great like I don't know what the area
- 13:50Speaker 5: is called. I can't think of it off the top
- 13:52Speaker 5: of my head, but it's like where all the shopping
- 13:54Speaker 5: centers are at and stuff like that. You know, just
- 13:56Speaker 5: walking around and being within your guys's community. It's it's
- 13:59Speaker 5: it's very nice and I always enjoy myself over there.
- 14:02Speaker 1: Is there anything surprising or anything unusual that you came
- 14:05Speaker 1: over here and we're like, oh, oh, that.
- 14:07Speaker 5: Is like that, you know, I said, I had never
- 14:09Speaker 5: been out of the country before, and I had heard
- 14:11Speaker 5: that the food in different places is healthier than it
- 14:15Speaker 5: is in the US. But I get over there and
- 14:17Speaker 5: I'm like, man, I lost like five seven pounds, but
- 14:21Speaker 5: that would be the one thing is just how much
- 14:24Speaker 5: healthier the food is over there, and it's a good thing.
- 14:28Speaker 5: Like he's a little switch up every once in a while.
- 14:30Speaker 5: But I eat pretty well, so it doesn't It doesn't
- 14:33Speaker 5: bother me as much.
- 14:34Speaker 1: Do you know what we always talk about? We always
- 14:36Speaker 1: find that it goes back to food, always goes back
- 14:38Speaker 1: to food when it comes to uh, when it comes
- 14:40Speaker 1: to talking about coming to the UK. All right, you know,
- 14:43Speaker 1: last question for you, Brenton. It's a long fight over
- 14:46Speaker 1: to the UK right from Jacksonville. And the way that
- 14:48Speaker 1: I see is you got to have someone next to
- 14:50Speaker 1: you on the plane that doesn't snow and doesn't I mean,
- 14:53Speaker 1: doesn't smell. One hundreds it can't. They can't smell. I
- 14:57Speaker 1: want to know who you sit next to on the plane,
- 14:59Speaker 1: and I don't know how how are they?
- 15:02Speaker 5: Well? This year I sit next to Parker Washington, and
- 15:06Speaker 5: so far on the trips he hasn't snored, and I've
- 15:10Speaker 5: known him for a while and he hasn't ever smelled.
- 15:15Speaker 5: So hopefully that doesn't change in between. Would you say
- 15:18Speaker 5: the month that we got yeah, I got a pretty
- 15:20Speaker 5: good good partner on the plane, So I'm excited about
- 15:23Speaker 5: all the away trips excited about all the games and
- 15:26Speaker 5: just ready to get rolling.
- 15:27Speaker 1: All right, so if we've seen in about a month's time,
- 15:29Speaker 1: you've got to make a bee line to me, and
- 15:30Speaker 1: you've got to be like Parker. Now he started smelling, man,
- 15:33Speaker 1: he started. Brendan, thanks so much for joining to talk.
- 15:39Speaker 5: I appreciate you, guys.
- 15:41Speaker 1: Brendan strange, lovely guy. Not only a lovely guy, actually,
- 15:45Speaker 1: he's a very talented football player. And as I mentioned
- 15:48Speaker 1: in my conversation with him as well, Key, what was
- 15:50Speaker 1: particularly impressive is that not only with his receptions, but
- 15:55Speaker 1: the blocking for some huge plays in that game as well.
- 15:59Speaker 1: I don't think it can be understated just how important
- 16:01Speaker 1: he was in that victory.
- 16:02Speaker 3: Yeah, that Travis et and seventy one yard are in
- 16:05Speaker 3: large part, like he played a big part.
- 16:08Speaker 1: In that touchdown as well, that hunts a long touch.
- 16:10Speaker 3: Yeah, that is a tight end doing what a tight
- 16:12Speaker 3: end should be doing, which is you're blocking and your receptions,
- 16:17Speaker 3: and he did them both exceptionally well on Sunday.
- 16:19Speaker 2: That was great to say.
- 16:20Speaker 1: Side note, it's been how long into this episode and
- 16:23Speaker 1: we've not mentioned the name Travis Hunter.
- 16:27Speaker 2: Gosh, that's interesting.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Yeah, and do you know what and this must be
- 16:30Speaker 1: a record for this podcast, considering that Key Ramsuurin is
- 16:33Speaker 1: a co host, it's this far into the podcast, and
- 16:35Speaker 1: the names Brian Thomas Jr. Or Cam Little have not
- 16:39Speaker 1: been mentioned either, But this must be a record.
- 16:43Speaker 3: New regime, new names, new stuff to talk about. There
- 16:46Speaker 3: we go positive, right that we just don't we don't
- 16:49Speaker 3: have those same old things to be talking about. There's
- 16:51Speaker 3: fresh new things to be talking about.
- 16:53Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, absolutely absolutely all right. Jason Bell joining us

- 18:46Speaker 3: Man?
- 18:47Speaker 7: Excited to park about Jack Wow's football? Which you are
- 18:51Speaker 7: tell Talk? I like that name, man, I like Teal
- 18:53Speaker 7: It looks fly on everything. You know what I'm saying?
- 18:55Speaker 1: Like you can?
- 18:56Speaker 7: You can your sneaker game can always roll with it.
- 19:00Speaker 7: Oh yeah, let's do that, man.
- 19:01Speaker 1: So what you're saying, Jabo's we need to get some
- 19:02Speaker 1: official T shirts. You need to be rocking the shirt
- 19:05Speaker 1: on the on sky. That's what you're saying, right.
- 19:07Speaker 4: Listen, you know the deal. You know the deal, man.
- 19:12Speaker 7: You know Trevor Lawrence is like we're like family now,
- 19:14Speaker 7: so I might as well represent for him.
- 19:17Speaker 1: All right, So Jason, you're gonna be here breaking down
- 19:19Speaker 1: the giant Goose performance for us every single week. And
- 19:21Speaker 1: we've got five big questions. Are you ready? J Bell?
- 19:26Speaker 7: Let's do this, man, Let's let's have a good time.
- 19:28Speaker 7: Let's see if I fit the narrative?
- 19:31Speaker 4: All right?
- 19:32Speaker 1: Where was the game one for the Jags in this
- 19:35Speaker 1: win against the Panthers.
- 19:37Speaker 7: You know what, I'm a defensive guy, let's be honest.
- 19:39Speaker 7: I spend my time watching that, loving that, understanding that,
- 19:42Speaker 7: and they set the tone. I mean, when you can
- 19:44Speaker 7: get after and force turnovers like they do, that flips
- 19:47Speaker 7: the game. And that's exactly what happened. When you can
- 19:50Speaker 7: keep the score down low, it allows you to lean
- 19:52Speaker 7: in on what you want to do. Liam Cohen wants
- 19:54Speaker 7: to run the ball. The running game look diverse. You
- 19:57Speaker 7: can keep it on the ground and make it easy
- 19:59Speaker 7: for your quarterback when you do have to throw. So
- 20:01Speaker 7: I think it started with the defense keeping it tight
- 20:04Speaker 7: and keeping it right, man.
- 20:05Speaker 4: That is the key.
- 20:06Speaker 7: And you got to protect Trevor Lawrence, which he was
- 20:08Speaker 7: you know, that was the whole thing they talked about
- 20:10Speaker 7: this offseason. Can you protect him? Play complimentary football. Special
- 20:15Speaker 7: teams chipped in and that's the key. Man. You want
- 20:18Speaker 7: to keep manageable down in distances and you want to
- 20:20Speaker 7: take the ball away and they did that.
- 20:22Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 20:22Speaker 1: I still felt like all sides of the ball are
- 20:24Speaker 1: really playing up to paw for the first game of
- 20:26Speaker 1: the season as well with Jabo.
- 20:28Speaker 7: And that's what you want to see when you have
- 20:30Speaker 7: a new coach. A new organization. Does it all fit,
- 20:34Speaker 7: does it feel right? Does it look right? Does it
- 20:36Speaker 7: sound right? And it did. They got plenty of things
- 20:39Speaker 7: they need to work on, but overall, they answered a
- 20:42Speaker 7: lot of questions that they wanted in the offseason. I
- 20:45Speaker 7: love what they did on the ground. I love the
- 20:47Speaker 7: diverse running game. And that's exactly what we expected from
- 20:51Speaker 7: Leon Khin because that's what he did at his previous employer.
- 20:54Speaker 1: All right, so who was the star of the show.
- 20:57Speaker 7: I mean, you got to give it a Travis etm
- 20:58Speaker 7: I mean you got to You gotta give it to him.
- 21:01Speaker 7: Seventy one yard scamper, you know what I'm saying.
- 21:05Speaker 4: He looked fresh leg.
- 21:06Speaker 7: You know, I like to look at how fast they run,
- 21:08Speaker 7: and he ran over twenty miles an hour, and that
- 21:10Speaker 7: lets me know he has juice in his leg. And
- 21:12Speaker 7: on that big run, you saw the vision right. It
- 21:15Speaker 7: was it was a zone type run, but you you
- 21:19Speaker 7: had Brennan Strange coming back with the block and it
- 21:21Speaker 7: took that vision right. And that's exactly what he did.
- 21:24Speaker 7: He made people miss like it wasn't as it wasn't
- 21:27Speaker 7: as simple as just.
- 21:28Speaker 4: Being blocked up.
- 21:29Speaker 7: Like he gets the rock, he cuts back. He makes
- 21:32Speaker 7: two people miss, one and the whole one in the
- 21:34Speaker 7: open field. That's what you want to see. Liam Cohen
- 21:37Speaker 7: was gonna scheme up proper runs that should get blocked up.
- 21:40Speaker 7: But as a running back, you have to make somebody miss,
- 21:45Speaker 7: you have to make one person miss.
- 21:47Speaker 4: And he did that.
- 21:48Speaker 1: I mean, I'm pro hype for Tragogy Chen as well
- 21:50Speaker 1: for multiple reasons. First of all, out injured for you know,
- 21:54Speaker 1: a lot of last year, a lot of talk about
- 21:56Speaker 1: the running back committee and who'sa and we haven't even
- 21:58Speaker 1: spoken about this in this this po cast so far.
- 22:01Speaker 1: He beat his brother. He beat his brother, his brother
- 22:05Speaker 1: on the other side for the Panthers, and you know
- 22:07Speaker 1: that would be sweet.
- 22:08Speaker 7: But do you know before the game they talking about
- 22:10Speaker 7: that man family up there. You know, you know I
- 22:13Speaker 7: always laugh when they got the two jerseys. You know
- 22:15Speaker 7: what I'm saying, Like the mom and the day I
- 22:17Speaker 7: got the jersey and the front jersey. Yeah, you picking somebody, man,
- 22:21Speaker 7: But yeah, it's always good to pick your brother. And
- 22:23Speaker 7: he performed well. What you want to see from him
- 22:26Speaker 7: is explosive runs, especially when they're blocked up, and that happened.
- 22:30Speaker 7: So I gotta give it to him. I think he
- 22:32Speaker 7: had over eight yards per carry because of that run.
- 22:35Speaker 4: You gotta roll with that.
- 22:37Speaker 1: Who was the unsung hero of the day.
- 22:39Speaker 4: I mentioned him. He got that block.
- 22:41Speaker 7: Brendan strange man. Brend's strange bro. I mean, he had
- 22:43Speaker 7: fifty nine yards. He had that key block. And the
- 22:47Speaker 7: thing I liked about him is that dirty work man.
- 22:50Speaker 7: He had a big role to step up into and
- 22:52Speaker 7: he made it happen. You know, when the play action
- 22:54Speaker 7: pass happens, he's going to be the guy that gets
- 22:56Speaker 7: the rock, especially over the middle when those linebackers step up.
- 22:59Speaker 7: That's exactly what he did. You want to see great
- 23:02Speaker 7: performances by him in the past and the run game,
- 23:05Speaker 7: because why when you have a good tight end who
- 23:07Speaker 7: can block well and is a good receiver, then if
- 23:10Speaker 7: he's on the field a lot of times, you gotta
- 23:12Speaker 7: play with your base defense if you put two tight
- 23:14Speaker 7: ends out there, right, So you need a weapon like that,
- 23:16Speaker 7: and he came through for him man, And I also like,
- 23:19Speaker 7: I gotta, I gotta, I gotta bring this back to
- 23:21Speaker 7: the secondary. I mean, Jeorge Lewis had some plays today
- 23:25Speaker 7: or the other day, but it's today in my mind,
- 23:28Speaker 7: so it doesn't matter and that's what matters is that
- 23:31Speaker 7: the secondary came up with some plays.
- 23:33Speaker 4: Man.
- 23:33Speaker 7: They had the later interception, they got a bunch of
- 23:35Speaker 7: PBUs Tyson, Campbell made a he did made some good
- 23:38Speaker 7: plays man, and that's what you want to see. The
- 23:41Speaker 7: secondary hold it together and they did that. So I
- 23:44Speaker 7: like what they did, and I like Strange at the
- 23:47Speaker 7: tight end position.
- 23:48Speaker 1: I think what was particularly exciting about the defense in
- 23:52Speaker 1: week one is it wasn't you know, a whole lot
- 23:54Speaker 1: of one playoff even just like one position group there was.
- 23:58Speaker 1: There were moments from the linebackers, the dbs as well,
- 24:01Speaker 1: and it just seemed to be that every single time
- 24:04Speaker 1: something happened, pretty much it was a different player doing it.
- 24:08Speaker 7: I mean Foyer came through right, yeah, I mean two
- 24:10Speaker 7: big turnovers, man, and you expected out of him, big
- 24:13Speaker 7: time leader. But you're absolutely right, it was a team effort.
- 24:17Speaker 7: Once again, back to the narrative, what do you want
- 24:20Speaker 7: to see when you have a new regime team football,
- 24:25Speaker 7: Everybody going out there, compliment each other, coming out with the.
- 24:28Speaker 1: Win, Let's move on to week two. What needs to
- 24:31Speaker 1: get better?
- 24:31Speaker 4: Man, You gotta get on the penalties, man.
- 24:33Speaker 7: You don't want to beat yourself I mean, that's gonna
- 24:35Speaker 7: be the one thing right now they look at the
- 24:37Speaker 7: tape and they're gonna say, yep, hey, congratulations, good job here,
- 24:41Speaker 7: good job here. Don't beat yourself. This is a penalty.
- 24:43Speaker 7: Stop this here, make sure that doesn't happen. And then
- 24:46Speaker 7: if you're Trevor Lawrence, you don't want to make any mistakes.
- 24:48Speaker 4: Man.
- 24:48Speaker 7: You know, you don't want to get any turnovers. You
- 24:50Speaker 7: got to clean that up. That'll be key. And just
- 24:53Speaker 7: making sure you know you're healthy going in next week.
- 24:56Speaker 7: You know, that's what you always need to focus on.
- 24:58Speaker 7: But these are ways beat yourself, turnovers and penalties. Focus
- 25:02Speaker 7: on that all right.
- 25:04Speaker 1: Specifically, then how do the Jags beat the Bengals.
- 25:08Speaker 7: They got to replicate the pressure that they got this week.
- 25:11Speaker 7: You know, you have to disrupt Joe Burrow.
- 25:14Speaker 4: That's the key.
- 25:15Speaker 7: Put bodies around him, make him feel uncomfortable in the pocket,
- 25:19Speaker 7: that's the key.
- 25:20Speaker 4: And then on offense, you got to continue to stay balanced.
- 25:22Speaker 4: What I mean, run pass balance.
- 25:24Speaker 7: Even if you're not successful in your runs, you need
- 25:28Speaker 7: to make sure you're running so then you make it
- 25:30Speaker 7: easy with the play action pass and things like that.
- 25:32Speaker 7: And also the clock is running because you do not
- 25:35Speaker 7: want to give Joe Burrow a ton of opportunities on offense.
- 25:39Speaker 7: When you play a great quarterback, you have to play
- 25:42Speaker 7: keep away.
- 25:43Speaker 4: That is the key. When we played against Peyton Manning,
- 25:45Speaker 4: that was.
- 25:45Speaker 7: Always our agenda. Make him have less possessions, and when
- 25:50Speaker 7: they do possess the ball, you got to force a
- 25:53Speaker 7: turnover if you can get the ball back for your
- 25:55Speaker 7: offense like they did this week. When you understand you
- 25:58Speaker 7: only have so many possessions, people that win the turnover
- 26:00Speaker 7: margin usually win, So try to do that. Don't try
- 26:03Speaker 7: to force the turnovers. Let them come to you because
- 26:06Speaker 7: you're playing discipline defense.
- 26:07Speaker 1: With the Bengals as well. They beat the Browns seventeen
- 26:10Speaker 1: sixteen Week one, just Browns could easily have won that game. Historically,
- 26:15Speaker 1: over the last few years, they have stuttered at the
- 26:18Speaker 1: beginning of the season. I don't know how much you
- 26:20Speaker 1: need to take that into consideration. I'm not quite sure,
- 26:22Speaker 1: to be honest with you, but there is an opportunity
- 26:25Speaker 1: here to get the Bengals before before they're in their
- 26:29Speaker 1: flow like they usually get into.
- 26:31Speaker 7: Yeah, without a doubt, and they're talking about that these
- 26:33Speaker 7: are these are things that coaches are discussing, right, we
- 26:37Speaker 7: know who they are when they start, so let's take
- 26:39Speaker 7: advantage of them. Now, one thing you can look at
- 26:41Speaker 7: on tape is against this matchup, you got to disrupt
- 26:44Speaker 7: these wide receivers. Cleveland has good defensive backs. They're known
- 26:48Speaker 7: for that. That's what they do. If you can take
- 26:50Speaker 7: their top two guys, Higgins and Chase out of there,
- 26:53Speaker 7: that makes sense. So disrupt those receivers and go about
- 26:56Speaker 7: your business. That pass rush needs to eat.
- 26:59Speaker 1: Though, last week, by the way that we all predicted
- 27:01Speaker 1: a Jags win, point to us all well done, as
- 27:04Speaker 1: well done as two points to me. Yeah, two points
- 27:08Speaker 1: to me because I almost got it right because Key
- 27:11Speaker 1: was ridiculous. Because we're not We're not going to waste
- 27:13Speaker 1: time on Key's prediction. I'm still predicting the Jags win though,
- 27:15Speaker 1: So gets.
- 27:19Speaker 5: J BO.
- 27:19Speaker 1: You got you predicted twenty one seventeen, which is good. However,
- 27:25Speaker 1: twenty five eighteen was my prediction closest, so I get
- 27:29Speaker 1: a couple of points there. Now, what are we saying
- 27:31Speaker 1: this week? Key, We'll get We'll get your ridiculous one
- 27:34Speaker 1: over and done with.
- 27:35Speaker 3: It's not going to be ridiculous, It's going to be
- 27:37Speaker 3: twenty seventeen to the Jacksonville Jaguars, and I think it's
- 27:42Speaker 3: going to be down to winning field goal from Cam Little.
- 27:46Speaker 3: It always involves Cam Little somehow. That's what's going to
- 27:49Speaker 3: happen this week.
- 27:50Speaker 1: It always does. Jay Bell, You're up.
- 27:52Speaker 4: I'm up.
- 27:53Speaker 7: I don't want this to ruin our relationship because I
- 27:55Speaker 7: feel so strong about this this pack, like I feel
- 27:59Speaker 7: like we'd do well at a sports bar together like that.
- 28:02Speaker 4: That That's where I'm coming from.
- 28:03Speaker 2: It depends on what you're about to say.
- 28:06Speaker 4: It depends, it depends.
- 28:07Speaker 7: I'm not even going to do a score because I
- 28:09Speaker 7: don't I don't want to be reprimanded by my friends
- 28:11Speaker 7: on the higher levels.
- 28:12Speaker 4: I'm scared of Joe Burrow. I cannot lie.
- 28:15Speaker 7: If that defensive line can eat, we got a chance,
- 28:18Speaker 7: but I'm quite scared and I can't go against Joe
- 28:21Speaker 7: Burrow on this.
- 28:21Speaker 4: It's really it's difficult to do. It's tough.
- 28:24Speaker 7: Sorry, this is just I mean, this is just I
- 28:26Speaker 7: just gotta be real because this is the relationship we have.
- 28:29Speaker 5: I'm rolling.
- 28:30Speaker 4: I need the Jags to make this happen. They get
- 28:32Speaker 4: this win, man, we talking next week after that? Are
- 28:35Speaker 4: you kidding?
- 28:36Speaker 6: Me.
- 28:36Speaker 4: I need this defense to eat. I'm just trying to
- 28:38Speaker 4: motivate them by going the other way.
- 28:40Speaker 2: To you, Higgins, Jamal Chase, different bass man.
- 28:43Speaker 7: This is a challenge, but they can answer the Bell,
- 28:45Speaker 7: and I want them to do that. I'm just scared
- 28:48Speaker 7: because Joe Burrow always scares me.
- 28:51Speaker 1: And I'll say Jags win because you know, some of
- 28:53Speaker 1: us have to be homers here, J Bell, he says,
- 28:56Speaker 1: having predicted them to lose. A few guys Glad Villain,
- 29:01Speaker 1: I was, I'll say, I'll say a do you know what,
- 29:03Speaker 1: Let's let's say it. Let's say it all comes down
- 29:05Speaker 1: to a missed extra point for the Bengals. It's a
- 29:08Speaker 1: twenty one twenty victory for the Jacksonville Jaguars, six pm
- 29:14Speaker 1: UK time on the road in Cincinnati on Sunday. It's
- 29:19Speaker 1: a big one. Actually, J Bell, before you leave us,
- 29:21Speaker 1: you're a great hype man. Let's just end with J Bell,
- 29:24Speaker 1: given us or given the Trevor Lawrence the Jacksonville Jaguars
- 29:28Speaker 1: a couple of sentences, a nice like moment of hype
- 29:31Speaker 1: before the game.
- 29:32Speaker 4: Trevor to beat the glasses off.
- 29:33Speaker 1: By the way, Sorry I'm interrupting, but he took the
- 29:36Speaker 1: glasses up.
- 29:36Speaker 4: He listen, listen, listen, Trevor.
- 29:38Speaker 7: To be the best, you gotta beat the best, and
- 29:41Speaker 7: opportunities when they come like this, you gotta shine. It's
- 29:45Speaker 7: not about that guy on the other side taking the
- 29:47Speaker 7: snaps what it is and every time he's on the field,
- 29:51Speaker 7: you need to outdo him.
- 29:52Speaker 4: You need to show your sideline. You're the man that
- 29:54Speaker 4: they're going to rally behind.
- 29:56Speaker 7: This is a big win, a big opportunity, a big
- 29:59Speaker 7: step in mind.
- 30:00Speaker 4: Man, you are ready to do it.
- 30:02Speaker 3: I've got the music from Gladiator playing underneath that. That's unbelievable.
- 30:06Speaker 3: I would go to war for you.
- 30:07Speaker 1: Jay Bell, that's my guy.
- 30:09Speaker 7: I mean, you know, let me, let me, let me
- 30:11Speaker 7: tast some, let me tast something. I'm the best follower
- 30:13Speaker 7: you ever met. So I'm I'm I'm following y'all into
- 30:17Speaker 7: the trenches.
- 30:17Speaker 4: Let's do this.
- 30:19Speaker 1: J Bell, thank you so much for catch up with
- 30:21Speaker 1: you next week.
- 30:22Speaker 4: Til next time. Fellas.
- 30:24Speaker 1: Imagine what Jason would be like if he wasn't utterly
- 30:28Speaker 1: ravaged by being on several planes over the last like
- 30:32Speaker 1: three days. Jet lag man, you know, if that's him,
- 30:35Speaker 1: If that's jet lag hype man, Jason Key, I don't
- 30:39Speaker 1: know if I want to see somebody that when he's
- 30:42Speaker 1: had a good amount of sleep.
- 30:43Speaker 3: That was like the difference between the British hype man
- 30:45Speaker 3: and American hype man today. Today j Bell was truly British,
- 30:51Speaker 3: truly British and yet still incredibly good at hyping.
- 30:54Speaker 1: Hyping you up, do you know what I mean? Excellent
- 30:58Speaker 1: prediction from as all accept Jason as well. One thing
- 31:03Speaker 1: I just want to mention as well before I forget
- 31:05Speaker 1: Key too with predictions, is I've been really enjoying my prize,
- 31:11Speaker 1: my Trevor Lawrence bobblehead. It's been really great to have
- 31:14Speaker 1: it sent over from you. You know, I think I've
- 31:17Speaker 1: got that, didn't I did? You haven't sent it. You
- 31:21Speaker 1: haven't sent it yet, key, not.
- 31:23Speaker 2: It's not still in my bedroom at home.
- 31:25Speaker 1: Yeah. So what you're saying is it's going to get
- 31:29Speaker 1: sent this week, key Jay.
- 31:31Speaker 3: It is packaged up and ready to go, and you
- 31:33Speaker 3: will be getting it a sap. But bearing in mind
- 31:37Speaker 3: that the post in my area is notoriously slow.
- 31:40Speaker 1: All right, Bengals Jags Sunday, big game. It's always a
- 31:46Speaker 1: big game. Week two of the season. I think it's
- 31:49Speaker 1: fair to say hard opponent. Let's hope Jags get the win.
- 31:53Speaker 1: We'll be here next time next week.
- 31:55Speaker 3: It feels like when a young boxer is going into
- 31:59Speaker 3: their first and they're given an easy opponent to make
- 32:02Speaker 3: themselves feel good. There's a little bit of an element
- 32:05Speaker 3: of that. The Jags playing the Panthers in their opening
- 32:07Speaker 3: game and then you're going into But do you know what,
- 32:10Speaker 3: like we said earlier, if the Jags keep doing what
- 32:12Speaker 3: James Gladstone wants them to do and getting a little
- 32:15Speaker 3: bit better every single game. The Bengals didn't look great
- 32:19Speaker 3: on Sunday, they did just enough to beat the Browns.
- 32:22Speaker 3: They're still a chance, man, and I think if the
- 32:24Speaker 3: Jags get better and the Bengals don't, why not.
- 32:28Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see when We will be here next week.
- 32:32Speaker 1: Jason will be back as well. This has been Teel
