Speaker 1: matchup from the Jack's perspective. All that and more. On

11
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 1: tonight's episode, Broncos had their second practice of the week

12
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: here in London as they were set to face the

13
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: Jaguars here at Wembley Stadium in just three days. We

14
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: heard from general manager George Payton to start the day

15
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 1: today and he discussed his belief that the Broncos can

16
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: turn things around from this two and five start. Obviously,

17
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: you know the results aren't there, Obviously not good enough

18
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: two and five and we all need to get better

19
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: and it starts with me and uh, but I do

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: believe in this football team. I do believe in the

21
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: people in our building, our coaching staff, that we can

22
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: turn it around. It's only only seven games. Obviously, we've

23
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 1: been in every game, and that's not what it's all about.

24
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: It's about winning games, and and we need to learn

25
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: how to win football games. We haven't done that. And

26
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: when George was asked specifically about why this offense has struggled,

27
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: he gave a few reasons, because not just one thing.

28
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: As you can see, you know, I think, uh, you know,

29
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: a lot of newness Mike, a new coaching staff. Uh,

30
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: you know a lot of new players, new quarterback, new schemes. Um,

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't come all together, you know. You know, and

32
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: I knew it wasn't gonna be a well oiled machine.

33
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: I thought it would take time and and obviously it has.

34
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: But there's a lot we have to work on. Then

35
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: you have some injuries in offense, you know, you start

36
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: to learn. Our staffs trying to learn each other, our

37
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: players are trying to learn each other. So it's just

38
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: a lot no excuses. We need to play better. Obviously

39
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: the offense isn't good enough to win games. Uh, defense

40
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: has kept it in it but the offense has to

41
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: play better. As we've seen, head coach Nathaniel Hackett has

42
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: really been under the spotlight and has received a lot

43
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: of criticism. But George Payton reiterated today that he believes

44
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: in coach Hackett and Russell Wilson. I believe in Nathaniel.

45
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: You know, he I supported Nathaniel. Um, he's been in

46
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: this seven games, you know, as a head coach. The

47
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,679
Speaker 1: scrutiny he's faced is unprecedented. You know, we've had four

48
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: primetime games, so he's kind of had to learn in

49
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: front of the entire world. Um. But I really like

50
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: how the team he's he's kept the team together, He's

51
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: they're connected, he's kept our building together. Um. And I

52
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: appreciate how he's he's fought through that. And Coach Hackett

53
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: also discussed his relationship with George. I mean, up to

54
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: this point, George has been an amazing partner. I mean

55
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: throughout all this, the good and the bad. You learn

56
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: a lot about people throughout process like this. And we're

57
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: growing as a team, and I'm growing as a partner

58
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: with George. And uh, it's great to work with him.

59
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he really has been great. And supportive

60
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: throughout this whole thing. And in terms of practice today,

61
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: Coachaki gave an update on Russell Wilson's hamstring injury, as

62
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: he was limited at practice today for the second day

63
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: in a row. No, he had a good day of

64
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: practice today. Uh, looks looks good and we're just gonna

65
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: keep on monitoring a day to day make sure he's okay.

66
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: And now let's take a look at today's injury report.

67
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: The only change from yesterday's report is that defensive lineman

68
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: Mike Purcell was limited at practice and we caught up

69
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: with several players as they were coming off the practice

70
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: field today. D J. Jones, Dalton Reiser and kJ Hamler

71
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: spoke about their time here in London and what it

72
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 1: means for this team being together and we're all going

73
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: out together, shopping together, seeing the same days together. Just

74
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,839
Speaker 1: the memories. Um, yeah, I believe. I believe the camera age.

75
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: I think it's a great week for us to be

76
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: doing it. I think it's a it's not a half

77
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: to thing, it's a get to. Um. I think you

78
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: would probably say the same thing. You don't have to

79
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,320

00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: at this week's matchup from the Jack's perspective. Actually, it's

105
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: so wonderful to see you again. How are you doing.

106

Speaker 1: I'm good. We're exciting for this trip, going a little

107
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: later than the Broncos, but we always look forward to it.

108
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: It's um, it's crazy to see how much the NFL

109
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: has absolutely sweep the UK. It's so cool to see

110
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: all the different jerseys. So we're looking forward to it,

111
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 1: you know, something different. Yeah, what are the team's plans

112
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 1: for you know, when you guys fly out here? Because

113
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: I know, like you mentioned, you guys are still in

114
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: Jacksonville right now. Yeah, So we fly out Thursday afternoon. Um,

115
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: and this is how the Jaguars have done this trip

116
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: the past five years that I've worked at the Jaguars.

117
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: They haven't changed it at all, and they believe in

118
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: this system and then it works best for them. So

119
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: we fly throughout the night on Thursday. The goal is

120
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: you sleep the entire flight Thursday night, like you normally

121
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: would if you were in Jacksonville. We wake up Friday morning.

122
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: We land about eight am London time, and the goal

123
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: is that you wake up, you have your breakfast. So

124
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: we get on the bus and we go straight to practice.

125
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: Um I'll say, yeah, I'll say I'm lagging a little bit.

126
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: But they definitely preached the players to treat the plane

127
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: like you would a night at home and sleeping, and

128
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: there's no funny business on the plane. It is time

129
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: to rest. Yeah, we hit the ground running on Friday. Um,

130
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: the players have a little bit of a time off

131
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: on Saturday, but not much. They they really truthfully believe

132
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: in this being a business trip. They give them some

133
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: time to see. But the minset is the Jaguars that

134
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: have done this so many years in a row, that

135
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: it's be there as little as possible, create this week

136
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: as normal as you can, and hope for the best

137
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Well, actually, and I hope you get some

138
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: sleep because I know for a fact I didn't get

139
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: any sleep on this flight over here. Not any Yeah,

140
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: it's probably not gonna have a lot of movies downloaded. Yeah,

141
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm just expecting the worst and hoping for the best. Well, actually,

142
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: you know what's the vibe over there been this week

143
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: in the locker room, just you know, getting ready to

144
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: fly out here and playing the Broncos on Sunday. Yeah,

145
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: I would say the vibe is um it's optimistic. For

146
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: the record the Jaguars are out right now and I

147
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: can't help but always compare to last season where the

148
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: Jaguars you know, had a similar record. For we're in

149
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: a totally different places, a franchise, and just the vibe

150
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: in this building it is very optimistic. Coach Peterson has

151
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: preached a big picture of what this team can be

152
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: and it's not so focused on the week to week.

153
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: It's it's building to something bigger and better in years

154
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: to come of the Jaguars can be. So they think

155
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: the Broncos are a great matchup. I think you will agree.

156
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: This seems to be a must win for both teams,

157
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: both teams that aren't meeting expectations right now. The Jaguars

158
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: are on a four game losing streak. Five sounds pretty ugly,

159
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,119
Speaker 1: so you want to snap it this week? You mentioned

160
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: it four game losing streak for both teams here heading

161
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: into this matchup, Ushian for you guys, you know, what

162
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: are your expectations for Trevor Lawrence says, as you guys

163
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: are coming out here to face a really really stout

164
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: Denver defense. Oh yeah. Coach Peterson talked about it this morning.

165
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: Basically all he could say was great things about the

166
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: Broncos defense, the secondary, of defensive line, you name it.

167
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a huge challenge for the Jaguars offense.

168
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence has played really well the past two weeks.

169
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: He was a bit up and down at the start

170
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: of the season, and we knew it would be growing

171
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: pains for a young quarterback. It's almost like Trevor is

172
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: starting to hit his stride and you see the confidence

173
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: and he's had a chance to go win the game

174
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks in the fourth quarter on

175
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: that final drive. We saw him do it a couple

176
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. That's what we want to see from

177
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: Trevor is taking that next step as the franchise quarterback.

178
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: So he's going in with a ton of confidence with

179
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: that set. Don't think he's seen a defense like the

180
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: Broncos and quite some time, and I'm curious to see

181
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: how they challenge him, because I think Trevor has put

182
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: on tape what challenges him in most weeks? Yeah, all Now,

183
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 1: have you seen Trevor really grow now that he's in

184
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: his second year comparing to his rookie year, big time?

185
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: Just the confidence of how he leaves this team. He's

186
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: always been a very, very calm person, and I applaud

187
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: him for how he handled last season in the drama

188
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: that came with last season and this old coaching staff.

189
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: He did incredible and that was a ton to put

190
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 1: on his twenty two year old shoulders. You just see

191
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: every single week he gets a little bit better, he

192
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: gets a little bit more confident. He's finding the receivers

193
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones, Christian Kirk Older, guys that I think the

194
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: Jaguars on purpose put around him to lift him up.

195
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: It's almost you want to see for Trevor. It's the

196
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: consistency would talk about. I go back to Week three

197
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles when the Jaguars upset the Chargers and

198
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: Trevor was on Sports Center and all these national news

199
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: was like, all right, Trevor is becoming the football you know,

200
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback and AXL Yeah, and then we haven't then

201
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: we haven't heard about him in the past couple of weeks.

202
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 1: It's that up and down for Trevor that you're you're

203
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: asking him to be more consistent for sure. I know

204
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: running back Travis C. Tann has put up some numbers

205
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks and so that he averages

206
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: you know, six point one yard's per attempt, which is

207
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: second best in the league. Actually, what have you just

208
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: really liked about his performance this season? Yeah, Travis E.

209
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: T n is. He's an awesome story because he's coming

210
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: off a season ending injury last year. We only saw

211
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: him last year in training camp and truthfully, he was

212
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: forgotten about. This is the first round draft pick that

213
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: was just completely washed last week and we didn't see

214
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 1: any game action, and we really didn't know what he

215
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: would be like in the NFL because we're comparing everything

216
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: to Clemson and we know the jump from college the

217
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: NFL isn't the same. It's not easy, um so in

218
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: a sense, and Travis has admitted this, he's kind of

219
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: a rookie out there. You know, mentally he's not, but

220
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: his body feels like he hasn't played a lot of

221
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: football in the NFL. So similar to Trevor. We talked

222
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: about the confidence with Travis E. T N. We're seeing

223
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 1: those holes open up a little bit more and that

224
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: explosiveness that we saw at Clemson. The big question was

225
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: with that big injury, would he still be eflosive with

226
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: the injury that he faced, And yeah, the past couple

227
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: of weeks, it seems like it's still there for sure. Well, actually,

228
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: you know, on our end, Russell Wilson, he was a

229
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: limited participant at practice on Wednesday, but he said he's

230
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: feeling great. Everything's looking like he'll be ready to go

231
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: for Sunday. So you know, looking at this Jags defense,

232
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: who do you really want to see step up? As

233
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: you know, the Spaces offense, this Bronco's offense that's really

234
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: looking to get things going over here in London. Yeah,

235
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: this Jaguars defense truthfully has been all over the place.

236
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 1: They were top of the league and turnovers just a

237
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: month ago. They have had to turnover in three weeks.

238
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: They aren't pressuring the quarterback anymore. They're still doing okay

239
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: as a run defense. You know, they're shutting down and

240
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: running back. But for example, see Kwon Barkley still received

241
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 1: over a hundred yards last week against the Giants. Yes,

242
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: he's say Kwon Barkley, and I get that, But the

243
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: Jaguars defense, they don't really have an identity. You don't

244
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: look at the Jaguars defense and you don't say they're

245
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 1: doing this really well. Um, So I'd love to see

246
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: them get more turnovers. I'd love to see them pressure

247
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: the quarterback more. We're looking at number one overall pick

248
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker. You want to see him start taking some steps.

249
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: The Jaguars defense, unfortunately the past two weeks, we say

250
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: they've lost the game for the Jaguars because they have

251
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: completely shot themselves in the foot. There are multiple times

252
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 1: where it is the most the dumbest penalty you've ever seen,

253
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: and it's someone on the Jaguars defense committing it at

254
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: the most crucial times in the game. So it sounds

255
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: c cliche, but coach Peterson always says, don't beat yourself.

256
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: So this Jaguars defense has to come to play against

257
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: the Broncos. I know both of these teams have really

258
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: struggled with penalty you so far, what has the coaching

259
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: staff been saying to the Jags in that regard and

260
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: how they can limit those? Truthfully, there there hasn't been

261
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: an answer, and I think if we knew the answer,

262
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: I think it'd be fixed by now. They just keep

263
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: saying the youth of this team, and this is a

264
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: really young team. It's a bunch of twenty three year

265
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: old in this locker room that are figuring it out.

266
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: And it's it's the starters, it's the playmakers like the

267
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: Trayvon Walkers I mentioned, you know, who were in college

268
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: last year. So there's going to be some growing pains

269
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: of of doing some dumb penalties um and sadly for

270
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: the Jaguars case, it just sounds like it's something that

271
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: we're going to have to ride the wave the season

272
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,560
Speaker 1: of learning when not to do that. But yeah, gosh,

273
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: it seems like the two past two weeks it's been

274
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: like the most awful time. When it's committed to it's like, no,

275
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: not this play, and it happens. So yeah, it's it's

276
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 1: the story of the Jaguars season. It's the ups and

277
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 1: downs of a young team trying to figure it out

278
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 1: with a new coach. Well, last one here for you

279
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: about the match up, Ashlyn, what do you think is

280
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: the really the matchup to watch on Sunday at Wembley.

281
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: I would love to see I think offensive line versus

282
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: defensive line, especially for the Jaguars. I'd love to see

283
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: Travis Etn build off of what's happening here. The Jaguars

284
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: traded James Robinson, their other running back, to the Jets

285
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 1: this week and a lot of questions have been why

286
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: why would you get rid of James Robinson's Travis Etn

287
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: good enough. We believe in this building he is good enough.

288
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: He is good enough to be the soul back for

289
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: years to come. I'd love to see him handle that

290
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: pressure and I think he's gonna have a great challenge

291
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: against this defensive line. Who has seen Travis c Tian

292
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: on tape, they know what's coming for him. If Travis

293
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: c Tian can get past the Broncos defensive line, I

294
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: think we all will agree that he's the real deal

295
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: and he can do this in the NFL. Right now,

296
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: there are some questions. I'd like to see him stamp

297
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: it this week. Yeah, well, certainly it will be a

298
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: fun one out here in London on Sunday. Ashlan. Appreciate

299
