Speaker 1: with a masterful run of twenty nine yards and the
Speaker 1: clock continues to run. It is Thursday, October one. This
Speaker 1: is Jaguars Happy Hour and now a guy who's going
Speaker 1: out tonight as Bangers and mesh j P. Certainly on
Speaker 1: the menu this weekend. I'm not sure what that means
Speaker 1: for Halloween. Welcome and Jaguars Happy r j P, Shadrick,
Speaker 1: Jeff Lagerman and assorted guests. As we move along here,
Speaker 1: what's up, logs? Nothing? Have you ever had bangers and mash?
Speaker 1: What exactly? It's a sausage and mashed potatoes? All right?
Speaker 1: All right? That the meat potatoes. I'm all about me.
Speaker 1: You're wrong with that? Yeah, I mean, look at me
Speaker 1: about it? Look at you, jeez. Here's what we're getting
Speaker 1: to today on the program. Jack's headed to London tonight.
Speaker 1: In fact, they'll be there Friday morning for the Texans
Speaker 1: Jaguars matchup at Wimbley Stadium on Sunday. And this is
Speaker 1: the start of I mean, this is the most important
Speaker 1: month of the season for the Jaguars. Certainly. The a
Speaker 1: f C South preview for the weekend we'll take a
Speaker 1: look at that coming up. Let's start with the London trip.
Speaker 1: Can we start with the World Series? By the way,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're a baseball fan. Look funny
Speaker 1: how that works when the Nationals win. I am, I am, seriously,
Speaker 1: I'm not a Nats fan, but I like baseball. I
Speaker 1: grew up playing baseball, Love baseball. So what mean you
Speaker 1: grew up around there? Though? Who's your team? Well? I
Speaker 1: really did. I mean I wasn't much of a fan
Speaker 1: of baseball, like watching baseball. That's Joe Fortunato. But uh,
Speaker 1: but you know Cal Ripken, the Orioles, Joe right, I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean and that like the team around. But I
Speaker 1: can tell you this though. When I was growing up
Speaker 1: as a kid, I distinctly remember my brother had a
Speaker 1: Washington Senators baseball car. And uh and I remember as
Speaker 1: a kid growing up going Washington Senders. Who are they?
Speaker 1: Because you know they didn't play, you know when I
Speaker 1: was growing up, So I was like, I didn't no
Speaker 1: idea who they were. But am I a Nats fan? No?
Speaker 1: But I like watching good baseball games. And that's the
Speaker 1: first baseball game that I watched all year long. Pretty good?
Speaker 1: That was a good one. Now turn it about the
Speaker 1: seventh inning. That was a really good game. And uh,
Speaker 1: now I know you guys want to get back into
Speaker 1: a JP. You appreciate this. Tad Dickman grew of pr
Speaker 1: around here, who is definitely a Nats fan, told me
Speaker 1: about a tweet he saw, which you know, as a
Speaker 1: Phillies fan, I'm kind of but I get it. It's hilarious.
Speaker 1: It said I tried to call Bryce Harper last night
Speaker 1: but there was no ring. Oh dear, wow, I hate it,
Speaker 1: but it's pretty funny. It's pretty good. That was pretty good.
Speaker 1: But congratulations to the Nationals and uh and all the
Speaker 1: fans and Washington fans of the Nationals, the former Montreal
Speaker 1: Expos right, JP. That's correct. But cool game, a very
Speaker 1: exciting game. And how about that talk about Road Warriors.
Speaker 1: Every road team won in the World Series, first time
Speaker 1: ever in World Series history and h and I know
Speaker 1: this is a Jaguar show, but folks, that's worth mentioning.
Speaker 1: I think it's it's pretty cool stuff. Well, Thursday through Sunday,
Speaker 1: Houston is going to have a bad week. That's exactly
Speaker 1: what That's exactly what I was thinking. You know, their
Speaker 1: their quarterback is got kicked in the eye. He wasn't
Speaker 1: able to do the pregame festivities too, to give them
Speaker 1: a send off into a victory. That's right. With the
Speaker 1: World Series. He's supposed to holler playball or something. He
Speaker 1: was supposed to say that, and and because of the
Speaker 1: I issue, the football team said we don't think you
Speaker 1: should do that, and he did not do that. So
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a tough week for the fans of Houston.
Speaker 1: I like that, yeah, because he's he's banged up. They
Speaker 1: lost the World Series. J J. Watt's done for the year.
Speaker 1: It's their first trip to London. They'll be without sleep.
Speaker 1: It's in. The Jags are gonna beat him the the
Speaker 1: the the mental health hotline in Houston is is ringing
Speaker 1: off the hook quite a week. But I'd rather be
Speaker 1: in the World Series and lose it than not be
Speaker 1: there at all. I guess, uh, I guess you could
Speaker 1: say that, but it probably doesn't feel like that if
Speaker 1: you're not today an astro right not today. London trips
Speaker 1: seventh time for the Jaguars. There three and three, record
Speaker 1: dropped the first two with teams that were just so
Speaker 1: young and an experience that they didn't really have a
Speaker 1: true chance in those games anyway, you're talking about the
Speaker 1: Jaguars early on fourteen, Jaguars blown out bad football team.
Speaker 1: And when you talk about experience of traveling, back then,
Speaker 1: it didn't matter whether you had experience or not because
Speaker 1: you didn't have a very good football team. Correct. Good
Speaker 1: football teams travel travel well. And now that this team
Speaker 1: has gotten better roster wise and better as a team,
Speaker 1: they've been traveling better. And uh and it's been an
Speaker 1: amazing progression through now which will be seven years of
Speaker 1: this game, and that we've seen it. When we first
Speaker 1: went there, we hardly saw any Jaguars jersey whatsoever. All
Speaker 1: you saw was a multitude of other jerseys. Now you're
Speaker 1: seeing Jaguar jerseys and that's the cool thing. The evolution
Speaker 1: of this game has been nothing short of amazing. And
Speaker 1: uh and I look forward to it every year. Jack's
Speaker 1: won three in a row and then lost last year
Speaker 1: against the Eagles. And the environments, just as you said
Speaker 1: that the jerseys are everywhere, what what would you say?
Speaker 1: I mean the positives of this trip for the Jags
Speaker 1: that they know what's going on now, they know the
Speaker 1: routine of it, the negatives are that is a strenuous
Speaker 1: travel trip still, even with the sleep and the rest
Speaker 1: and all that and trying to figure that out. It's
Speaker 1: a quick turnaround, but um, it's gonna be on the
Speaker 1: schedule for the foreseeable future. I mean, they're not gonna
Speaker 1: stop playing in London. No. I First of all, this
Speaker 1: is a huge advantage for the Jaguars football team having
Speaker 1: traveled to London multiple times. The Houston Texans this is
Speaker 1: their first time over to London. And yes, it matters
Speaker 1: that you've been there and haven't been there and looked
Speaker 1: last year was a football team kind of in disarray
Speaker 1: that went over to London. They had the issues on
Speaker 1: Friday night. There's a lot of bad things happening over
Speaker 1: there and with the football team overall in and I
Speaker 1: think this is a much different team. I think this
Speaker 1: is a team that's very excited, that has an opportunity
Speaker 1: to get right back in the hunt of a division race.
Speaker 1: If you get this win all of a sudden, then
Speaker 1: you're going to the bye week and you're not gonna
Speaker 1: lose during the bye week, and then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you go on the road to play a couple of
Speaker 1: division opponents in Indianapolis and then to the Tennessee Titans,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you could come out of
Speaker 1: the next month and coming back to t I a
Speaker 1: bank as a division leader. I mean, holy cow. And
Speaker 1: uh look, I know that there's a lot of people
Speaker 1: wanting to talk about what's gonna happen with the quarterback,
Speaker 1: But to me, who knows what's gonna happen in the quarterback?
Speaker 1: If Gardner Minshew all of a sudden gets hot, hey,
Speaker 1: keep on rolling. Uh. If Nick falls has been amazing
Speaker 1: in practice and it's going to give you a lift
Speaker 1: on in certain areas that Gardner miss you couldn't hit
Speaker 1: Nick falls into the end of the game, let's roll
Speaker 1: with him, you know, six exciting times. That's part of
Speaker 1: this huge month. As you mentioned all the division games
Speaker 1: and everything. The quarterback battle goes into that as well.
Speaker 1: But the whole point about this month, though, Logs, is
Speaker 1: if you don't get through this month, December isn't gonna matter. Right,
Speaker 1: you get through this month, November is what it's all about.
Speaker 1: The flip side of that, you know, if you if
Speaker 1: you don't go to London and take care of business
Speaker 1: and then you're on the road a couple division games,
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you could be returning back
Speaker 1: home to t I Bank with a lot of games
Speaker 1: that are that are meaningless and one in four in
Speaker 1: the division or whatever. This is imperative, and I think
Speaker 1: this is uh, this is a great opportunity for a
Speaker 1: lot of reasons this week really and uh, we do
Speaker 1: a we contribute to a column every week. That is
Speaker 1: what John Osher puts out on Jaguars dot Com. Oh him, yes,
Speaker 1: I heard of him. Yeah, he's famous. He's all over
Speaker 1: the internet famous And uh, it's what the experts think.
Speaker 1: And and I just got done writing. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: Jaguars have a huge advantage traveling to London multiple times,
Speaker 1: and this is first trip for the Houston Texans. The
Speaker 1: Texans defense is they've got issues. J. G. Watt is
Speaker 1: now an injury reserve. He was their huge playmaker. They
Speaker 1: already traded Jadavian Clowney to the Seattle Seahawks before the
Speaker 1: season he got going, which he was their most dynamic
Speaker 1: playmaker on their on that football team the last couple
Speaker 1: of years, even J. J. Watt being on the roster,
Speaker 1: and now they've got injuries in the secondary. So this
Speaker 1: is a great opportunity to take advantage of a Texans
Speaker 1: defense that is only a small percentage of what it
Speaker 1: used to be in a Texans offense that has a
Speaker 1: great m VP candidate quarterback into Shaun Watson, but he's
Speaker 1: like Superman. He's gotten not a lot of help around him.
Speaker 1: And Hopkins is a great wide receiver. Don't don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong. The running game has been pretty solid for
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. The offensive line for the Houston Texans,
Speaker 1: which has been an issue over the last a couple
Speaker 1: of years, still isn't It is an issue for this
Speaker 1: football team and the Jaguars. Their strength defensively is up front.
Speaker 1: And you're coming off a game where he had eight sacks.
Speaker 1: Three guys had multi sacked games. Hey, time to time
Speaker 1: to make some hay against the Houston Texans offensive linement.
Speaker 1: You gotta get a lead early to really help that out, though,
Speaker 1: right if you can get if you can jump on
Speaker 1: them and get a two score leader, so you know
Speaker 1: early in this game, then you can really get that
Speaker 1: passage rolling. I don't know if you necessarily need to
Speaker 1: have a two score lead, get it an advantage. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you need to keep the game close and if you
Speaker 1: have an advantage, yeah, that works to your advantage. So
Speaker 1: and then, uh, then Minshew is able to take advantage
Speaker 1: of it. You know. Look, uh, I think he's uh,
Speaker 1: he's a marvels player. He's arguably coming off his best
Speaker 1: game yet as a pro. I thought so, I thought
Speaker 1: that his pretense last week was was tremendous. I thought
Speaker 1: he showed poison the pocket. He managed the game, He
Speaker 1: protected the ball with the exception of one time of
Speaker 1: a blind side sack, extended the play and found d J.
Speaker 1: Chark on a great play. Uh an impromptu played to
Speaker 1: Conley for seventy yards and a touchdown, which was his
Speaker 1: longest touchdown throw and Conley's longest catch ever. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's all good stuff and uh in minshew Mania just
Speaker 1: got bigger from that game. In fact, today was at
Speaker 1: my daughter's school and they have the annual Halloween parade.
Speaker 1: Guess which was the most prevalent Halloween costume in the parade?
Speaker 1: Pretty easy, guests, It was Gardner Minshew. There were seven
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew's in the parade. Okay, and uh the total
Speaker 1: of NFL other players. Of other NFL players there was two.
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes was one. Leonard Fournette was the other, and
Speaker 1: I was shocked because in years past Tom Prady has
Speaker 1: been pretty big notre not This finally got some parents
Speaker 1: that are raising their kids right at that school. I'm
Speaker 1: curious to see how many are like that in London.
Speaker 1: If it's really taken off over they can I can
Speaker 1: tell you JP. I actually pose that question earlier this
Speaker 1: week on on one of our other radio shows and
Speaker 1: immediately got responses back on Twitter from fans over in
Speaker 1: the UK, and they were sending me pictures of their
Speaker 1: bandanas and their mustaches. Then said Minshu Mania is alive
Speaker 1: and well in the UK. Looking forward to seeing you
Speaker 1: when you get here. It's over there too, you know.
Speaker 1: And that's uh, that's gonna make the decision very exciting
Speaker 1: coming up. If he continues to play and play well.
Speaker 1: Is there is there another truth? Is there a guy
Speaker 1: that competing for offensive Rookie of the Year if he
Speaker 1: keeps this pace? I don't think so. No, not naming
Speaker 1: another there's in the National Football League just playing a
Speaker 1: high level on the offensive side. Like I don't think
Speaker 1: here's the thing. But kudos to Dave Caldwell. I mean,
Speaker 1: think about it, you have the NFL's best pass rusher
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen Okay, he's what seven sacks now leading
Speaker 1: the NFL rookies, and then ranking wise, he is now
Speaker 1: seventh in the National Football League. Both are the same,
Speaker 1: yes and uh. And then you have the best rookie
Speaker 1: quarterback playing in the league right now. Six round pick. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's amazing, right Kyler Murray what he let me? Let
Speaker 1: me check? Oh yeah, he was first overall. And don't
Speaker 1: forget your your second round pick. Right tackles playing pretty well,
Speaker 1: he's the best. He's the the best. I think he's
Speaker 1: the best offensive lineman playing in the league right now.
Speaker 1: He's gone against Cameron Jordan's j J. Watt, I mean,
Speaker 1: you name it. He's played against them all and I'm
Speaker 1: just telling you he is. He is gonna be a
Speaker 1: perennial Pro Bowl right tackle. It's all from this draft class. Amazing.
Speaker 1: So now we've seen draft classes like this before. I mean,
Speaker 1: this is on the way to being one of the
Speaker 1: greats in Jaguars history. Obviously you could go back to
Speaker 1: the Jalen Miles unique draft, but with all the Jalen
Speaker 1: stuff lately, that might tone that draft because because that's
Speaker 1: you still are adding to that draft with future picks.
Speaker 1: You've got two first round picks coming up in the
Speaker 1: fourth round pick that are gonna make that draft even better.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, so they're right there though, I mean pretty close. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're very They're very close. And obviously what you do
Speaker 1: with those draft picks are gonna turn which one is
Speaker 1: going to be better. But I mean that's that's the
Speaker 1: kind of drafting that you need you're in and year out.
Speaker 1: If you can do that consistently, you're gonna be able
Speaker 1: to build a nucleus of players that can you can
Speaker 1: be a consistent winner, which is what everybody in the
Speaker 1: league strives for. Consistent winning. Back in a moment, We've
Speaker 1: got some special guests joining us. Ashlyn Sullivan from Jaguars

Speaker 1: the same teal shirt. I hope you guys like the
Speaker 1: close enough? Help you like diversity? Good enough? Oh? Good?
Speaker 1: London coming up? Man, I'm good. I'm ready to go.
Speaker 1: I've got this thing down. You you probably do too.
Speaker 1: It's harder than you because you can't get comfortable in
Speaker 1: that regular seat, although you have the bullcat so you
Speaker 1: can stretch it. Tell you it's a ball hid without
Speaker 1: a wall. I have to climb over him, and that
Speaker 1: he's snoring in the middle the night. I got to
Speaker 1: do the bathroom left leg, right leg. Don't step on him,
Speaker 1: wake him up. The first year, I'll never forget when
Speaker 1: we were going to London. We get on this plane
Speaker 1: which is a huge virgin at Lanting, longest plane in
Speaker 1: the world. It's a monster. Yeah, it's an a three
Speaker 1: forty dash six hundred, which it's uh how many passengers total? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's a lot. Okay, So we get on the plane,
Speaker 1: and then they have name tags and all the seats
Speaker 1: with a little adhesive, little sticker things, you know. And
Speaker 1: so we're walking to the back, you know, going past
Speaker 1: all the lay flats, which two players get. And then
Speaker 1: also now you get out of the lay flats, then
Speaker 1: you come back to the regular seating, and then there's
Speaker 1: coaching and then staff and then in the back, you know,
Speaker 1: get back to we're in the back, you know, we guests, cheerleaders,
Speaker 1: the broad factors where the broadcasters are at. Okay, so
Speaker 1: walked back to the back and there's two name tags.
Speaker 1: And then because you know the way it's set up,
Speaker 1: remember correct me if I'm wrong. In the middle aisle
Speaker 1: or middle row, you have like five five chairs, and
Speaker 1: then you have a row on each side of the five,
Speaker 1: and then on the outside you have two seats by
Speaker 1: the windows, by the windows. So these two seats in
Speaker 1: the ball kid over here by the window, there's Basely
Speaker 1: on one seat and there's log him in on the
Speaker 1: other side. And I said, please, somebody tell me this
Speaker 1: is a joke. He'll fix this now, right, and then
Speaker 1: BASSELLI ended up finding a seat, stealing a seat somewhere up.
Speaker 1: Of course, we made it work. Yeah, but I was
Speaker 1: I was seriously going, wait a minute, eight or nine hours,
Speaker 1: elbow to elbow with Tony Basselli, who snores like a bear,
Speaker 1: smells terrible and dune brushes teeth. No thanks, I have
Speaker 1: a story too. I sat next to him across the
Speaker 1: aisle and the worst part about that wasn't the snoring.
Speaker 1: It was when the lady would come by with a
Speaker 1: tray of cookies. He would reach and take hot. He
Speaker 1: would take the whole thing, like, well, hold on a second,
Speaker 1: I mean there's other people here. There are you have
Speaker 1: to wait for her to go back to the oven
Speaker 1: to get it. He doesn't care. You didn't anywhere near
Speaker 1: him when the food came by, because you were getting
Speaker 1: any of the time. You could smell it, you could
Speaker 1: see it, you couldn't taste. But a good trip, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is this is a good trip. And I think
Speaker 1: one really I thought last year I was like, Holy cow,
Speaker 1: was the the change of the area around Wembley itself.
Speaker 1: They keep building and construction can't and you see what
Speaker 1: they're trying to do here, right, put people around live
Speaker 1: around Wembley Stadium. There's shops, there's restaurants and there's people
Speaker 1: for every show. You know, they've got the arena there
Speaker 1: where there's always a concert, and the stadium where there's
Speaker 1: always an event, there's a soccer match or something going
Speaker 1: on there. But what they've done is they've built in
Speaker 1: their population and that's that's what they're trying to do here,
Speaker 1: is to put people around. They'll go to shows at
Speaker 1: the Daili's place and the live and eat at the
Speaker 1: restaurants and shop in the shops and and the minute
Speaker 1: I saw the means last year, I was stunned, like
Speaker 1: you whoa where did this all come from? And then
Speaker 1: I realized the master plan for Jacksonville is to try
Speaker 1: to build that same. You'll probably be able to see
Speaker 1: the stadium. It's not quite that, but you're gonna have
Speaker 1: buildings everywhere, which means people in stores and revenue. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's pretty cool. Shocker. And then uh and
Speaker 1: heck even last year and Brian, you know, there's a
Speaker 1: little workout room and everybody, I'm a workout fiend, and
Speaker 1: so it's this hotel. We stat literally where the workout
Speaker 1: rooms out. You're looking at Wembley and there was literally
Speaker 1: a pathway and then a small green hill and then
Speaker 1: the road that goes around when where you're got you
Speaker 1: they're building on this little square inches of grass. I
Speaker 1: mean they're literally bulldozing that to building. I'm going to wait,
Speaker 1: there's no there's no room there to build anything, but
Speaker 1: they're gonna build something. You know here in Florida that
Speaker 1: we make such a big deal about water drainage obviously
Speaker 1: because there's nowhere for it to sink into, so we
Speaker 1: have retention ponds everywhere. I don't know what they're doing
Speaker 1: there because there is no grass, there's nowhere for the
Speaker 1: water to go. It is all asphalt, it's all as
Speaker 1: It's pretty amazing. And the other thing I think that
Speaker 1: has really, I mean flabbergasted me was and it's from
Speaker 1: the very beginning, is that you have a game that's
Speaker 1: eight and before the game, okay, you're sitting there and
Speaker 1: you're looking out over the area of Wembley and you're like, ah,
Speaker 1: there's some people hanging out. You know, it's not tailgating
Speaker 1: because there's no parking. Okay, and you've seen some people
Speaker 1: and they're like, where all these people gonna come from?
Speaker 1: I mean thousand plus? Where they at the tube? And
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden game they rolls around and wham,
Speaker 1: here they are. And then after the game, by the
Speaker 1: time we go to the buses, you're going tumbleweed rolling
Speaker 1: by and move them in, they move them out of
Speaker 1: You did NFL Europe, did you do a game in Barcelona?
Speaker 1: So they had Camp New which is where i FC
Speaker 1: Barcelona plays, and they had little Mini a study where
Speaker 1: the Dragons played, and I was doing a Dragons game
Speaker 1: one day and then all of a sudden boom, everybody
Speaker 1: left and I said, where did everybody? Good? People just
Speaker 1: filed into Camp New for the game. There's no tailgating,
Speaker 1: there's no events. People in mass transportation get where they
Speaker 1: need to go. And if you ride the tube on
Speaker 1: a game day Wembley, you see people. It's a kaleidoscope.
Speaker 1: There are people in every jersey, every uniform. The first
Speaker 1: year we played there, we remember we went back downtown
Speaker 1: after the game in State at Grosvenor House, and my
Speaker 1: wife made the trip and we were going back and
Speaker 1: we met somebody. We walked the cars, we met somebody
Speaker 1: in every NFL shirt, hat, uniform. It was amazing, which
Speaker 1: is what is the big draw to London. The NFL
Speaker 1: has a built in audience of people that love football.
Speaker 1: And uh, not only do you have which of which
Speaker 1: back then it was every jersey but a Jaguars in
Speaker 1: the first year. Now it's become the Jaguar jerseys are
Speaker 1: very prevalent, and the main jerseys obviously. And and I
Speaker 1: think the other cool thing about it is when you
Speaker 1: get a chance to go and do these different fan events,
Speaker 1: which we've been able to do, we have all been
Speaker 1: able to do over the years, is that when you
Speaker 1: go to these events, you're meeting people from every country
Speaker 1: that there is in Europe, and they're all flying because
Speaker 1: this is their opportunity to watch an NFL game or
Speaker 1: to watch their team, which is now the Jaguars. It's
Speaker 1: just cool. Find the London from the continent is like
Speaker 1: flying to Atlanta from anywhere east of the Mississippi easy.
Speaker 1: So everybody gets in and out of their um. You
Speaker 1: know what I think is And have you found Tisa
Speaker 1: in Carnaby Square? It's little tap this place roasted meat,
Speaker 1: red wine. I can't believe you haven' found o Carneby Square.
Speaker 1: I'll be there all day Saturday. In fact, I have
Speaker 1: told people, if you know people go hey, you gonna
Speaker 1: how can we run into you. I'll be at Tejisa
Speaker 1: in Carnaby Square, which is by the way. It's like
Speaker 1: diagon Alley. If you haven't been, it's like Diagon Alley.
Speaker 1: It's right off Oxford. It's like one street back from
Speaker 1: Piccadilly and Oxford. Um, and you think you're walking through
Speaker 1: a Harry Potter movie. It is cool as can be,
Speaker 1: great stores and restaurants. But there's a little place called
Speaker 1: the Hassa which I just can't believe him found. It
Speaker 1: is the best roasted meat and the best wine and
Speaker 1: the best grilled flatbread. You're gonna love it. I'll that
Speaker 1: sounds like, but I guess the point is is now
Speaker 1: we've been there for a couple of years and so
Speaker 1: going back and they know in fact, so I sent
Speaker 1: him an email like, oh, yeah, we got your tables,
Speaker 1: so yeah, do we need a booking? I can call
Speaker 1: now on the show, Yeah, I got you kind of
Speaker 1: know that you've been there and you're starting to become
Speaker 1: a little bit more comfortable with being there when you
Speaker 1: start to go to your regular places like Saturday night
Speaker 1: Joe and I and Frank Frangie and some other guys
Speaker 1: that are hanging around in the hotel and anybody wants
Speaker 1: to go. Right close to our hotel is this little
Speaker 1: mall and they have a like an Asian place that
Speaker 1: has these dumplings, and so we all go there and
Speaker 1: we we literally just get a ton of dumplings. I
Speaker 1: think we probably ordered like forty different orders of different
Speaker 1: kinds of Oh yeah, he's there, and uh, he was
Speaker 1: there last year. I think he was there last year.
Speaker 1: And then after that, then we walk over to the
Speaker 1: milkshake place. It will make your own milkshake bar where
Speaker 1: you don't make it, but you tell him what you
Speaker 1: want in at. So yeah, I mean when you start
Speaker 1: to get to that point you feel comfortable, you know,
Speaker 1: then it and the Texans won't feel that comfortable there.
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what where I was going with it.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, they're staying like we've got out town too,
Speaker 1: and then here they are coming in there, going, holy cow,
Speaker 1: where are they staying at Penny Hill? No, they're like
Speaker 1: well out east somewhere, way out of east somewhere. So
Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, hopefully they're not too far away
Speaker 1: that they want to go and have a party. Friday
Speaker 1: night in London name of the place for the Jaguars.
Speaker 1: Need to put flyers into Texas players rooms where they're
Speaker 1: going to be some recommendations for you guys. Um So
Speaker 1: recent history in this series Texans Jaguars, really the last
Speaker 1: decade has been all Texans. They've won fifteen of the
Speaker 1: last nineteen meetings against the jack But you always thinking
Speaker 1: about that this morning when I was standing in the shower,
Speaker 1: and the thing that stood out to me was but
Speaker 1: not since seventeen, Right there there two and three against
Speaker 1: them in the last five games since Doug Moron took
Speaker 1: over it. And I'm one of those guys who loves
Speaker 1: history and and and can go back in time and
Speaker 1: give you records and matchups, but none of that matters.
Speaker 1: What matters is is that in seventeen they played really
Speaker 1: well against them, and then in eighteen not so well,
Speaker 1: and then this year their first game, they had a
Speaker 1: chance at the end to win rookie quarterback with a
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback making us first start. Now you and I
Speaker 1: can debate, and I don't think we have. I thought
Speaker 1: that Jalen Ramsey's performance again not on the sideline, but
Speaker 1: against uh DeAndre Hopkins was if not the best one
Speaker 1: of the best three or four defensive performances by an
Speaker 1: individual defender in Jack's history. And I can go back
Speaker 1: to some of those great Tony Brackens games in Pittsburgh. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and gave them a chance. But the one thing that
Speaker 1: I remember about that game, Jalen dropped an interception. I
Speaker 1: was standing right there, would run by me and there
Speaker 1: was no one that would have stopped. So if you
Speaker 1: make that play, then I would agree with you, right,
Speaker 1: it would have been the best. It would have been
Speaker 1: the best. But I guess my point my question to
Speaker 1: you is they how do you how do you how
Speaker 1: do you handle DeAndre Hopkins? I mean, you don't have
Speaker 1: a guy like Ramsey that you can put out there
Speaker 1: for this snaps No, And I think a lot of
Speaker 1: people think, Okay, well, a J boy is still a
Speaker 1: number one numb one guy, and and and he's a
Speaker 1: he's a good player, don't get me wrong. He's a
Speaker 1: really good player. And can you put him on Hopkins
Speaker 1: one on one like he did Jaellen? By the way,
Speaker 1: it was tough for Jalen. He was working at the
Speaker 1: sideline sucking win. Late in the game, Hopkins wears you out.
Speaker 1: Oh he's a great player, so you can't you can't
Speaker 1: do that. There there's always there's always two modes of
Speaker 1: thought when you're facing a great wide receiver. As far
Speaker 1: as game planning wise, how do you take out a
Speaker 1: great wide receiver. Well, the first thought is, Okay, we're
Speaker 1: gonna take our best player and we're gonna put our
Speaker 1: best player on him. Easy, DeAndre Hopkins, get your popcorn ready,
Speaker 1: yours pattents. The other thought to that is is that
Speaker 1: you take your best cornerback and you put it on
Speaker 1: their second best wide receiver, and then you put two
Speaker 1: guys on their best guy. And I think we're gonna
Speaker 1: see a combination of the two working against DeAndre Hopkins
Speaker 1: for this game. And I think that because you're talking
Speaker 1: about a legitimate NFL m v P candidate and DeShawn Watson,
Speaker 1: you've got to mix it up on him, right, You've
Speaker 1: got to mix it up on him. There's no Will Fuller,
Speaker 1: which he made down the field. He made some places
Speaker 1: down the field last time. People have forgotten. They're talking
Speaker 1: about no J. J. Watts Gibson. But Will Fuller will
Speaker 1: a great player, and I don't think they're gonna have him.
Speaker 1: No so and is Kenny Still's a legitimate guy and
Speaker 1: he's banged up to I think that he hasn't done
Speaker 1: anything and he's a he's a good player. He's a
Speaker 1: good player. He's not a great player. And then then
Speaker 1: then the great players are the ones that concern you.
Speaker 1: So I think Todd wash will have a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of creative ways to approach this game. The
Speaker 1: last time these two teams played, DeAndre Hopkins was targeted.
Speaker 1: I want to say eleven times. Uh, Kenny Stills and
Speaker 1: Will Fuller, we're targeted seven combined. I mean that just
Speaker 1: tells you how they lean in that direction even when
Speaker 1: the good players are healthy. This week, I mean, they
Speaker 1: gotta go to him. Although the tight end fells a
Speaker 1: bunch of balls last week and then the other one
Speaker 1: had Andre Carter had a big at last week. And
Speaker 1: I think the one mystery of all of this, uh
Speaker 1: so far has been Kiki Qt. Where's he been at
Speaker 1: for the Texans? He really hasn't. You're not running a
Speaker 1: jet sweep. I haven't seen any And here's the reality.
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson is gonna He's gonna stare down Hopkins. He
Speaker 1: doesn't care and they don't care. And that's this guy,
Speaker 1: and he's gonna hold on the ball and give you
Speaker 1: opportunities to bring him down if you're rushing the past
Speaker 1: or well and the Texans offensive line is suspect I
Speaker 1: don't do enough shows with him? Can I ask one
Speaker 1: more question? Josh Allen? Awesome? Um as a person too?
Speaker 1: I mean I did. He's the whole, He's the whole
Speaker 1: PA arguably the best rookie that I've ever seen. I
Speaker 1: came back from next ever seen real for real. I've
Speaker 1: been in this league for thirty thirty thirty years, and
Speaker 1: I think he's one of the He's arguably the best
Speaker 1: rookie I've ever been around as a player, as broadcaster.
Speaker 1: And when I say the best, what I mean by
Speaker 1: the best combination of the quality of the person, which
Speaker 1: is first rate, which is first the quality of the player,
Speaker 1: uh and the quality of teammates. And then you see
Speaker 1: how he is around his team, and I'm just telling
Speaker 1: you he's one of the best. My son the best.
Speaker 1: My fifteen year old son was in here with me
Speaker 1: yesterday afternoon and Josh was in here doing Jack's Jam
Speaker 1: with you. He walked in afterwards because he saw my
Speaker 1: son in there, and he was wearing a tie because
Speaker 1: he goes to Bishop Kenny and he wanted to ask him,
Speaker 1: did you tie that yourself? Who taught you how to
Speaker 1: tie a tie? My grandfather? I mean he just announced,
Speaker 1: of course, my son's like this, right. So that's the
Speaker 1: kind of person he is. The thing that amazes me
Speaker 1: is that he seems to have a wide variety of
Speaker 1: things that he can do on the field. And all
Speaker 1: I keep hearing is that doesn't know anything yet. So
Speaker 1: you tell me how much this better will he get
Speaker 1: in year two, three and four? Are you as Are
Speaker 1: you as amazed as Doug Maron appears to be? Oh yeah, okay, yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: I think what has impressed me the most by him
Speaker 1: because he has it all. He has the physical gifts,
Speaker 1: he has the want to, the desire, the smarts, he's
Speaker 1: got all of that. But what I think really has
Speaker 1: impressed me that is just something that you just don't
Speaker 1: find even in special athletes, is the stamina. The stamina
Speaker 1: to finish place, the stamina to be as good in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter as he is in the first quarter.
Speaker 1: That's what makes him special. And and you know how
Speaker 1: like they've done studies on your your you like to
Speaker 1: bike and all that kind of stuff. And they've done
Speaker 1: studies on the bikers that do the Tour de France
Speaker 1: and all that kind of thing. And and then that's
Speaker 1: why blood doping became such a prevalent deal and all that,
Speaker 1: because the desire to increase the stamina max right, the
Speaker 1: ability for your body to process the Some people just
Speaker 1: have that ability better than others. Josh Allen's got it.
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you he's got that ability. And uh,
Speaker 1: he doesn't have pass rush moves yet, he's just pass
Speaker 1: rushing as an athlete. He hasn't seen schemes enough to
Speaker 1: where he can say, Okay, okay, I know what they're
Speaker 1: gonna run here because of the formation, et cetera. When
Speaker 1: he gets all of that, look out, well he's right now,
Speaker 1: believe it or not. On track for the record the
Speaker 1: rookie record single season NFL rookie with the NFL, which
Speaker 1: is fourteen and a half. Yeah, he's gonna make it here,
Speaker 1: I mean, which is Javon Curse fourteen and a half
Speaker 1: and ninety nine. We saw that, Um the freak. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he is a freak in his own right. And I
Speaker 1: was thinking this the other day or this morning as well.
Speaker 1: You know, we we've seen some great running backs here.
Speaker 1: You went from James Stewart to Fred Taylor to Morrise
Speaker 1: Jones Drew to learn it for net. We've got a
Speaker 1: hell of runner defensive ends to Ryan, I mean you
Speaker 1: and Brack oh yeah, and Reggie and Reggie. But I'm
Speaker 1: talking about person I'm talking about personalities to you know,
Speaker 1: Reggie Hayward. Reggie Hayward. Now you've got Calais, Josh and Unique.
Speaker 1: Who are three guys that I enjoy. If you put
Speaker 1: those guys around the table at TJISA on on Saturday afternoon, boy,
Speaker 1: it would be a fun conference and very all three
Speaker 1: of them are very different personality, but they're all great personalities.
Speaker 1: I love it. Ya got the edge to Josh kind
Speaker 1: of one, rookie Clays, the veteran mayor. You know, it's
Speaker 1: pretty cool to be around those three guys. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: you know what I'm going I can remember some conversations

Speaker 1: it a must win this week and Wembley, Welcome back,
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour, JP Shattered, Jeff Lagerman, Ashland Sullivan, Hello, gentlemen,
Speaker 1: not used to this corner whole world over here. I'll
Speaker 1: just I'll get used to it. Give me a few minutes.
Speaker 1: Must win from Leonard for that, and you know we're
Speaker 1: all we're in the locker room yesterday kind of getting
Speaker 1: the vibe of this game at Wembley. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of questions about the trip and all that, but big
Speaker 1: division game, Ashland, and against the team that's already got you.
Speaker 1: If you get behind oh and two against these guys
Speaker 1: and then you got the road division games coming up.
Speaker 1: It feels like a game they have to have and
Speaker 1: they know that too. Yeah. I mean, if you were
Speaker 1: not to get this win this week, everything has to
Speaker 1: work out perfectly in your favor the second half the season.
Speaker 1: We all know it doesn't work like that. And it
Speaker 1: was must wins last week against the Bengals. Week before that,
Speaker 1: they got it done. Now I think, I'm sorry, but
Speaker 1: the Jets in the Bengals, sorry, I'm all over the place,
Speaker 1: but two must win games, they got it done. This
Speaker 1: is even more so it must win And this is
Speaker 1: a This is a big game because in my mind,
Speaker 1: because the last two games you should have won, right,
Speaker 1: this is a game that Okay, you don't look at
Speaker 1: it and go, okay, this is a gimme that should
Speaker 1: be This should be a w This is a challenging
Speaker 1: game and uh and I think this is the kind
Speaker 1: that you need to get if you're gonna be division champ.
Speaker 1: And obviously because of the division game, but this is
Speaker 1: the level of competition that you need to start taking
Speaker 1: your game up to. I like it. Um, can they
Speaker 1: run the ball this week? If they have to go
Speaker 1: against it's a great question. And I think the Texans
Speaker 1: are gonna miss j J. Watt because he has a
Speaker 1: very very good player against the run. But DJ Reader
Speaker 1: or Angela bl Accent, Carlos Watkins, Brandon Dunne, they're they're
Speaker 1: pretty good. I think what the Texans are in a
Speaker 1: little bit of a little bit of a pickle. Though.
Speaker 1: They have a guy by the name of Charles o'menna
Speaker 1: who who is JJ's replacement. And I watched the film
Speaker 1: of him against the Raiders last week when j J
Speaker 1: went out. He goes in and he's got a knee
Speaker 1: brace on his left leg and he doesn't even look
Speaker 1: like that he can play well enough to protect himself.
Speaker 1: So I don't know what they're gonna do. And and
Speaker 1: I'm literally I'm tweaking. This is my board for the
Speaker 1: game day broadcast, and every we all we all seen
Speaker 1: it before. And so the Texans have made some roster change.
Speaker 1: They have like twelve defensive backs now on the roster,
Speaker 1: and I'm looking at them on film going they need
Speaker 1: to get defensive lineman at because the guy that that's
Speaker 1: expected to take over for j. J. Watt, he's not
Speaker 1: ready to go. And we're gonna play a corner defensive
Speaker 1: line doesn't work that way. It was interesting we were
Speaker 1: talking to the Texans guests this week and he was saying, um,
Speaker 1: how J J. Watt hasn't really gotten the stats and
Speaker 1: everything in the sacks to show how sacks before he
Speaker 1: got hurt, right with a dominant player he has been.
Speaker 1: He's saying how great he's playing against the run and
Speaker 1: how that's the biggest thing that's going to hurt them.
Speaker 1: You disagree. I think he's pretty good against the run.
Speaker 1: But J J. Watt watching the film on him this year,
Speaker 1: he has taken a huge step back, a huge step.
Speaker 1: I mean we're talking about a three time defensive m
Speaker 1: v P. I mean, so the expectations that we have
Speaker 1: for j J are are way up here. Is he
Speaker 1: even close to being up here this year? Prior to
Speaker 1: the injury, the torn Peck told he's you know, he's
Speaker 1: still still one of the better players in the league.
Speaker 1: But the the Texans are gonna miss him tremendously. But
Speaker 1: what the Texans have missed even more or will miss
Speaker 1: even more, is Clowney. Clowney was their most disruptive player
Speaker 1: on defense over the last couple of years. He gave
Speaker 1: them a lot of flexibility. They lined him up at
Speaker 1: multiple positions. He was an offensive coordinator's nightmare J. J. Watt.
Speaker 1: For the last two years, he has not been that
Speaker 1: Clowney was all when when he was finally healthy because
Speaker 1: he was banged up a lot early in his career
Speaker 1: and he's finally health. The last two years, it was
Speaker 1: about Clowney when you were putting a game plan. Again,
Speaker 1: I agree with that. We heard from Leonard at the
Speaker 1: start there. Um. The red zone and goal to goo
Speaker 1: issues have been an issue now for this team a
Speaker 1: lot of the years. Certainly the red zone. We've seen
Speaker 1: the goal of ghost stuff and you saw a little
Speaker 1: bit of frustration from Leonard after that toss to the
Speaker 1: right last week at a lot. In fact, his numbers
Speaker 1: inside the five this year four carries for minus six yards.
Speaker 1: He does have a touchdown. Uh. It's got to be
Speaker 1: a little frustrating for him because when they drafted him,
Speaker 1: Tom Coughlin told him we're gonna You're gonna get in
Speaker 1: the end zone. You know, he hasn't done that much
Speaker 1: this year one time, but he seems like and we've
Speaker 1: talked about this on a bunch of different shows. Actually
Speaker 1: you've you went to New Orleans with him. He seems
Speaker 1: like a different mindset guy that he can kind of
Speaker 1: fight through some of that adversity and maybe the second
Speaker 1: half of the season power through. Yeah, And I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't blame him because he isn't running back. He
Speaker 1: wants to score touchdowns. He's great blocking and all of that,
Speaker 1: but he's running back. He wants to score touchdown. So
Speaker 1: I don't blame the frustration. I think it's perfectly fine
Speaker 1: if he gets frustrated with that. I don't think we
Speaker 1: should expect really anything else. I think he's definitely made
Speaker 1: a turn in the right direction. We've seen positive movement.
Speaker 1: But if he wasn't getting frustrated, I think I'd be
Speaker 1: a little skeptical. He's a competitor. He wants to score touches.
Speaker 1: I don't see anything wrong with it. There is a
Speaker 1: way to be frustrated and not be a jerk about
Speaker 1: it too, which we've seen others go over the line
Speaker 1: around here at times. Yeah you think you know, Hey,
Speaker 1: look I'm not Matt Leonard Fournette for his reaction after
Speaker 1: that toss play at six Inchly, what was I doing
Speaker 1: in the booth running straight ahead at six inches? Come on,
Speaker 1: and what are you doing? If there was a lot
Speaker 1: of that on the sidelines, what are you doing? Didn't
Speaker 1: do that, I would have been I would have been
Speaker 1: hot at him, you know, I mean you're kidding me.
Speaker 1: In general, though, do they get better in the situations
Speaker 1: goal to go man offensive lineman gott to do a
Speaker 1: better job blocking. And I think you need to be
Speaker 1: more creative as an offensive coordinate. And when I say
Speaker 1: more creative, more creative doesn't mean you run a toss
Speaker 1: from the sixth inch line. There's some other goal line
Speaker 1: run plays that are that are very well designed, and
Speaker 1: I think that they will incorporate some of them. But
Speaker 1: but I do know one thing. You've got it when
Speaker 1: you have a big back. And I'm gonna go back
Speaker 1: to two goal line plays because one of them was
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati when you didn't make it. You turned it
Speaker 1: over on downs at the one when you did this
Speaker 1: quick shift and then you cheated Leonard Fournette up closer
Speaker 1: to the quarterback and then you hand it off to
Speaker 1: him going straight ahead like he's in a full back position,
Speaker 1: and it gives him no ability to go anywhere but
Speaker 1: straight ahead and straight ahead two ways, either powering through
Speaker 1: or up and over at the tongue. Look, I mean, look,
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Leonard Fournette is a great back
Speaker 1: at reading holes because he's a power back, but you've
Speaker 1: got to give him a little bit of lead way
Speaker 1: to go here here or here, and then also a
Speaker 1: little bit more creative instead of just we're gonna go
Speaker 1: straight ahead and pound your head against the wall. You know,
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean you throw the toss, you know.
Speaker 1: So I think they can be better and I think
Speaker 1: they will be better. Yeah, there's some football left. You
Speaker 1: didn't like the toss? No, whatever reason is why the
Speaker 1: red zone efficiency is down those two plays. You don't
Speaker 1: run stuff like that. It's not good. So Shelynton, you've
Speaker 1: been to Ashlyn. I'm sorry, I call you my office.
Speaker 1: But how many London trips is this for you? This
Speaker 1: is the second second? Okay? What did you what was
Speaker 1: What is your favorite part of the trip itself? I
Speaker 1: really didn't know what to expect going into it last year.
Speaker 1: I was told it's cold. I've never seen London before.
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing I took away was the
Speaker 1: Jaguar fan base there. I mean when We rolled up
Speaker 1: to practice Friday, and these stands were full of Jaguars
Speaker 1: fans that watch our stuff all the time. And I
Speaker 1: had no idea that exists in London. I mean more
Speaker 1: so than even here in Jacksonville. People were referencing things
Speaker 1: we talked about on shows. It was it was so
Speaker 1: cool to see how in touch they were so far way.
Speaker 1: It's amazing that they really are. The fans over there
Speaker 1: are there watching us right now. I mean, they're watching
Speaker 1: things that we do, and it's, uh, it's it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: And I wanted to go back to Leonard Fournette just
Speaker 1: just for a minute, because in that game last week,
Speaker 1: and he had the big sixty six yard run and
Speaker 1: it was a great job blocking and Leonard hits it perfectly,
Speaker 1: and after that he was pretty much held in control.
Speaker 1: And but the one thing I think that I've got
Speaker 1: to mention that he was so good at his past
Speaker 1: protection in that game was unbelievable. The one play was
Speaker 1: the third name and Minshew scrambles it and then converts
Speaker 1: the first down. Four Net's the one that picks up
Speaker 1: the blitzing linebacker and the linebackers coming with some bad
Speaker 1: intentions and and Leonard shows up with even worse intentions
Speaker 1: and meets Cashman the linebacker and smacks him in the
Speaker 1: mouth and smacks him in him out three times and
Speaker 1: allows Minshew to Scraham will get the first down the
Speaker 1: long play to Conley for seven yards and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Bournett is on the right side of Minshew and been
Speaker 1: trying to paint this picture for people. Four nets on
Speaker 1: the right side of Minshew, and they're running basically a
Speaker 1: fake thirty nine whis thirty nine is the three is
Speaker 1: the running back and the nine is the nine hole
Speaker 1: all the way out to the left side. So Minshe's
Speaker 1: gonna fake this handoff underneath to four net going that way.
Speaker 1: So Fournett has to execute this fake hand off. Well,
Speaker 1: there's a blitzing defensive back coming off the outside, which
Speaker 1: is Jamal Adams. Four NET sees that he's coming and
Speaker 1: knows that they don't have a blocker for him. So
Speaker 1: it's not like in my playbook. Okay, Lennon Fournette says, okay,
Speaker 1: when we run fake thirty nine pass that I run
Speaker 1: the fake no matter what. And well, if there's a
Speaker 1: blitzer coming on backside, I go ahead and I peel
Speaker 1: off and I block him. That's not in the playbook.
Speaker 1: He does this on his own to stay in and
Speaker 1: to protect and locks Jamal Adams. Oh and by the way,
Speaker 1: it allows Minshew to extend the play and then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden find Conney for seven yards and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: The small things that for Net is doing this year
Speaker 1: that he had even not even an eight leing of
Speaker 1: trying to do in past years is simply amazing to me.
Speaker 1: Past protection, certainly in the receiving game you've seen that too,
Speaker 1: and the receiver last week. But a lot of it
Speaker 1: goes unnoticed, especially when fans are looking at his lack
Speaker 1: of touchdown. Okay, I was one of his biggest critics
Speaker 1: last year, and he deserved every bit of it. And
Speaker 1: and look, when you're doing bad, i'm gonna say you're
Speaker 1: doing bad. When you're doing good, I'm gonna be the
Speaker 1: first one to tell you you're doing good and say
Speaker 1: you're doing good. And he is. He has been awesome
Speaker 1: this year. As much of a thrill as it is,
Speaker 1: as we were talking earlier with Brian Sexton about Josh Allen,
Speaker 1: as much as a thrill as it is to be
Speaker 1: around Josh Allen, and to watch him. It's might might
Speaker 1: even be a bigger thrill watching the transformation of Leonard
Speaker 1: Fournette from last year to this year. But nothing short
Speaker 1: of them made. All right, Ashley, We'll see you on
Speaker 1: the plane. I'll buy a pint Saturday and we'll see
Speaker 1: it wimbley on Sunday. I'll hold you to that Sullivan record.

Speaker 1: Happy Our final moments before the team had so London
Speaker 1: The Duck Moron Show coming up in just a few minutes.
Speaker 1: The Jags headed over for the seventh consecutive season to
Speaker 1: play this game. It's an ANFC South matchup, of course,
Speaker 1: this year. The Jacks played the Colts a couple of
Speaker 1: years ago in the a f C South. They'll play
Speaker 1: the Texans this time around. The standings well, the Colts
Speaker 1: lead away in the a f C South currently Texans, second,
Speaker 1: Jacks third, Tennessee at the bottom. It's the only division
Speaker 1: in footballs where every team is five hundred or better?
Speaker 1: Right now, then, does does that make this division better
Speaker 1: than anybody else? No? The NFC West, I think has
Speaker 1: better one to three teams. You know, forty Niners, Seahawks,
Speaker 1: the Rams, the Cardinals, aren't you know, they're hanging in there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're they're pretty good. You know, that's pretty good division
Speaker 1: as well, if they're not first there. The NFC South
Speaker 1: is a close second to that. I think, well, I
Speaker 1: think I think the the a f C South. The
Speaker 1: one thing that, uh, that is happening this year is
Speaker 1: the quarterback play has elevated. Think about it, uh, Kobe Bursett.
Speaker 1: Many people thought that the quarterback play in Indianapolis was
Speaker 1: going to go down, and Jacoby proct is doing a
Speaker 1: great job right. Deshaun Watson's playing at an m v
Speaker 1: P level. The Jaguars have a rookie who is created
Speaker 1: a mania across the world that is pretty incredible. And
Speaker 1: then the Titans have gotten better quarterback back play recently
Speaker 1: because they've taken a recycled quarterback and benched another one
Speaker 1: and Tanny Hill is doing a pretty good job and
Speaker 1: Mariota uh was on a short lease all all season
Speaker 1: for for the most part, and so they've gotten better
Speaker 1: quarterback play in Tennessee. So that's a big reason as
Speaker 1: to why these teams are all at five better. The
Speaker 1: games this week in the ANFC South, of course, the
Speaker 1: Texans and Jaguars coming up at Wimbley this Sunday, five
Speaker 1: and three Texans, four and four Jags. That's the nine
Speaker 1: a m. Eastern times start. That's two thirty in London.
Speaker 1: Titans are at the Panthers this week in Charlotte one
Speaker 1: o'clock kickoff time. The Colts and the Steelers one o'clock
Speaker 1: at hines Field, Pittsburgh. So here's the look at the
Speaker 1: a s C South schedule this week. Yeah, the one
Speaker 1: good thing about that is that both the Titans and
Speaker 1: the Colts are on the road and uh And look,
Speaker 1: the Panthers got hammered last week by the forty Niners.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be looking to change the script a little bit.
Speaker 1: The Pittsburgh Steelers got by the Miami Dolphins. Um, I
Speaker 1: don't know what to make of the Pittsburgh Steelers. I
Speaker 1: really don't. They've got They've got some talent on defense,
Speaker 1: but as a football team, they're just not They're not
Speaker 1: performing to the level that they should, mainly because the
Speaker 1: quarterback play is not where it needs to be. And uh,
Speaker 1: once the Jaguars get Nick Foles back, I'd be calling
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers up saying, hey, you want your quarterback back,
Speaker 1: give us our draft pickback. We'll give you your quarterback back.
Speaker 1: Josh Staltons, Oh yeah, right yeah. But trade deadlines done,
Speaker 1: pass pass. That's why I've been a big proponent of
Speaker 1: the trade deadline needs to be week twelve. Move it
Speaker 1: back a little bit, make it interesting. Absolutely, why not?
Speaker 1: Why not? I'm with you? Or can't you maybe could
Speaker 1: you like nullify the trade instead of where it's not
Speaker 1: really wouldn't be a trade. You can just say, well,
Speaker 1: you know that trade that we did before, we're gonna
Speaker 1: nullify it, so it wouldn't officially be a trade. I
Speaker 1: like what you're thinking, but that would be a little different.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to make it happen a little bit.
Speaker 1: The remaining schedule for the Jaguars, as we've mentioned throughout,
Speaker 1: it's this month, the November games, three games in four weeks,
Speaker 1: including a bye all in the division, all away from Jacksonville,
Speaker 1: the London game this week, the bye next week, and
Speaker 1: then on the road at the Colts, at the Titans.
Speaker 1: If you can manage through that, then you might be
Speaker 1: at the top of the division first of all, and
Speaker 1: then you have three home games in December. Can you
Speaker 1: imagine coming back to t I a bank if you
Speaker 1: win the next three games and you're them back at
Speaker 1: home to play an in state rival with with maybe
Speaker 1: a division lead. I mean, that would be incredible. It
Speaker 1: would be fantastic, you know. And what an environment December one,
Speaker 1: I guess with some great games. I mean the Raiders
Speaker 1: I think is gonna be a good football game. Getting
Speaker 1: the Colts at home to to cut the season off
Speaker 1: would be big. The Raiders on the road and Chargers,
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be interesting. They fired their offensive coordinator,
Speaker 1: Ken Wizzen Hunter is now out, and they've let the
Speaker 1: quarterback coach take over as the play caller with the
Speaker 1: LH Chargers. And I can't believe I actually got right
Speaker 1: LH Charger finally like a year after they moved. It's
Speaker 1: only done with like three years later later. I always
Speaker 1: did that still saying San Diego Chargers, it happens. Here's
Speaker 1: the look at some of the events coming up this
Speaker 1: weekend in London. It's gonna be a busy schedule. The
Speaker 1: Alliance Park practice on Friday, the uh it's closed now
Speaker 1: the registrations attend that practice on Friday, but the Jags
Speaker 1: will stretched their eggs a bit at the home of
Speaker 1: Saracen's rugby club on Friday. Saturday, Meet and Green at
Speaker 1: j D Sports on Oxford Street down in Soho. That's
Speaker 1: twelve thirty until four thirty. Fulham Football Club at home
Speaker 1: against Whole City. It's at three o'clock kickoff time at
Speaker 1: Craven Cottage and then at five thirty join us at
Speaker 1: the Union Jack's Pub party with Like a Mobile at
Speaker 1: the Admiralty Pub Entrafalgar Square. I'll be there. Special guests
Speaker 1: will be there. It'll be a lot of fun. Always
Speaker 1: is every Saturday night before the Jags play at Wimbley
Speaker 1: each season. So I hope you'll join us. If you're
Speaker 1: making the trip over to London, or if you're already there,
Speaker 1: or if you live there and you're a Jags fan,
