Speaker 1: to discuss how we think the Janks will do on

35
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: the field in twenty twenty four. I feel like we're

36
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: burying the lead though a little bit, to be honest, Key,

37
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: we're actually kind of avoiding the one topic that's been

38
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: on you know, every Jags fans mind, and that is

39
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence's brand new contract.

40
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 3: Well done, Trevor, well done, travel.

41
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: Well done, Trevor. Is that all you've got to say

42
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: about it?

43
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 3: That's move?

44
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: You know?

45
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: Actually, Jay, do you know what my favorite part of

46
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: the like wonderful, really pleased for the franchise.

47
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 3: Please for Trevor.

48
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 4: Please.

49
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: My favorite thing about the whole thing is Trevor just going, yeah,

50
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 2: it's business, Like I already knew I was the franchise QB.

51
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: That's how I'm behaving, That's how it's always been from

52
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, dude, I love him.

53
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 3: I love him.

54
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: Well, I think, what's really you know, moreportant? I mean,

55
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: obviously it's a lot of money because it's a five year,

56
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy five million contract extension which is

57
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: going to tie Trevor Lawrence to Jacksonville until twenty thirty.

58
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: But what the big thing is money aside? It's just

59
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: that commitment, isn't it. And the fact that Trevor Lawrence

60
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: now knows Jacksonville fans now know as well that the

61
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: Jags are in it for the long haul with Trevor

62
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: Lawrence is their franchise quarterback. Yeah.

63
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 2: That was beautiful And hearing him talk about like he's

64
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: he's been here for three seasons, right, one that was

65
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 2: not great at all, one that was really really good,

66
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 2: got to the playoffs, and then one that started really

67
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: well and finished badly, And he was like do you

68
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 2: know what I feel like I've seen so much. I

69
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: feel like I know Jacksonville. Jacksonville knows me, we know

70
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: what to expect. We have settled here, our family is here.

71
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: I just think, yeah, man, this is something that fits.

72
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: And I see I'm just gonna say it. I see

73
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 2: next season being really big for Trevor.

74
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: You can go bigger than that. I feel like you

75
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: were about to say MVP style season, but you sort

76
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: of just a little bit.

77
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 3: I see it being really big. And that's as much

78
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 3: as I'm willing to say, Jay.

79
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: And as much as anything else, is that you know

80
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: his family as well. They want to settle. You know,

81
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: his wife wants to settle in Jacksonville. This is their home,

82
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: as you say. And congratulations to Trevor as well, because

83
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: not only he signs the massive contract tying him to

84
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: Jacksonville for for years to come, and also he announces

85
00:03:58,280 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: that his wife is pregnant as well.

86
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 3: Lovely like that being all tied in together.

87
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: That's just really nice. What a nice little little package

88
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: lovely is it? Is it dreadful to say?

89
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: I wonder if I'll meet him at some point in

90
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: this season, and then I can try and convince him

91
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 1: to name his baby Jay. Is that dreadful?

92
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 3: I absolutely love it is the thing.

93
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: I am going to meet him later and I am

94
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: going to convince him to call it Ky.

95
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't have the last name Lawrence. That's it

96
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: doesn't work. So congratulations to Trevor. I'm sure I speak

97
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 1: on behalf of you know, the whole of Jacksonville to

Speaker 1: is not only is Trevor Lawrence committed to Jacksonville, but

103
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are as well with massive stadium news as well.

104
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: Massive for the Jaguars, massive for the city of jackson

105
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: wasn't it Key?

106
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: Did you see the design of the stadium, ja, Yeah, incredible,

107
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: It's amazing, And like the fact that they've committed to

108
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 2: doing all of the parks and the amount of money

109
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: that the Jags are also going to put into the community, fantastic.

110
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 2: But for me seeing the design of that stadium, oh man,

111
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: that is so exciting.

112
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: It's been a weirdly like massive couple weeks for jackson

113
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: for the Jacksonville Jacquars, hasn't it, Because these things aren't

114
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: just for the twenty twenty four season, you know, or

115
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: anything like that. We're talking about five, ten, you know,

116
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: twenty years, I suppose as well in regards to the stadium.

117
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: So it's been weirdly kind of like an integral couple

118
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: weeks for the whole Jaguars.

119
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

120
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

121
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,559
Speaker 2: The mayor referred to it as monumental, and I can't

122
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: disagree with that. I mean, it's yeah, this is really

123
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: big stuff. Do you know what I was watching mister

124
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 2: can't talk about it? And the phrase that he used that,

125
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, that's that's it. He just said,

126
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 2: and now we need to win, and.

127
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: Now we need to win.

128
00:05:59,120 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: Now we need to win.

129
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: That's a really nice way of putting it as well.

130
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: It's like, right, everything is, everything is in place. Now

131
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: we need to win to show that that he is

132
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,479
Speaker 1: just as hungry as he's ever been to win as well,

133
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: you know.

134
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: One hundred percent, like we're talking about you know, now

135
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 2: we've got the Miller Electric Center, brand new facility. It's

136
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: all like there's there's no excuse anymore. Now we need

137
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 2: to win, spot.

138
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: On, I want to try and give you this question,

139
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: by the way, from the Sporting News. I don't know

140
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: the answer to this. This is this is this is

141
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: this is produce Assignment's doing. But I can guess. So

142
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: there's let's have a go at this. Yeah, you can

143
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: see how this goes. The Sporting News listed the most

144
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: valuable player in each NFL team who wasn't the quarterback? Okay,

145
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: gets who it was for the Jacksonville Jaguars. I've got

146
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: an idea. I want to hear your opinions first. Now

147
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: I'll give my opinion.

148
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: Okay, if it's any one other than these two players,

149
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: I'm going to personally write into Sporting News to have

150
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 2: a word. Right, it's got to be either Josh Allen

151
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: or Foyer Leucon and I would I would suggest then

152
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:08,760
Speaker 2: that order as.

153
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: Your new best mate Foyer, my new best mate Foyer.

154
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 3: I do you know the answer?

155
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer, Producer Simon, If you can

156
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: just text us in a second or let us know,

157
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: because I cannot. I surely it's got to be Josh Allen.

158
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: It's my opinion. It's got to be Josh Allen for

159
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: a couple of reasons. At Number one is positional value.

160
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: So that's why obviously that they took out the quarterback

161
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: out of the equation, because otherwise, no matter who the

162
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: quarterback is, are probably going to be the most valuable player,

163
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: right in all likelihood, they will be so positional value.

164
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: You've got to look at Josh Allen's position and see, right, Okay,

165
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: not only is that positional value going to be higher

166
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: than a lot of other positions, but it just so

167
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: happens that Josh Allen is one of the best you

168
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: know in the league. So surely it's got to be

169
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and and for Foyer as well.

170
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: A sorry, Jay, I've just thought of something else at

171
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: the end of the season. Before we look at Simon's

172
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 2: text that has just come through before the end of

173
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 2: the season, I'm pretty sure that one of the only

174
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 2: top five positional players, I think the other one was

175
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 2: Travis Travis ETN. So, okay, do you know what, I'm

176
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: going to stick with Josh Allen, But if it's Travis,

177
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 2: I'll be super annoyed.

178
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: Gone, Okay, all right, I'll read it. Okay, let's go

179
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has been named as the most important Jaguar

180
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: outside of you know, outside of Trevor Lawrence. You know,

181
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: that makes sense, that makes sense as well, he's another

182
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: mate of yours. Any Josh Allen, I suppose.

183
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 3: He texted me and told me he did.

184
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: He. I think it's a It makes sense, doesn't it,

185
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: for it to be for it to be Josh Allen,

186
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: As I said, for positional value alone.

187
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 4: You know.

188
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: And that is again just just bringing it back to

189
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: what's happened this offseason, is that it's been actually a

190
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: quietly big off season for the Jacksonville Jaguars. I know

191
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: that we've spoken about Trevor, We've spoken about the stadium news.

192
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: I don't even know if we even spoke about because

193
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: we have so much to speak about a lot in

194
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: the first episode, do we even speak about Josh Allen

195
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: signing a contract as well? So what do you have?

196
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: We did what we have?

197
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 4: There are you.

198
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: Know, arguably the two most important positions in the whole

199
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: of your roster are now signed up for several years.

200
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: They're in it for the long haul. So I think

201
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 1: when you look at it, if you're a Jacksonville Jaguars fan,

202
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:39,599
Speaker 1: I know that a lot of people are going to

203
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: be feeling that hangover from the end of last season.

204
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: But you've got to have a lot of hope, not

205
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: just for the twenty twenty four season, but looking forward

206
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: because you've got some two massive pieces their key.

207
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 3: I totally agree.

208
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 2: This is where it switches for me, like it's time

209
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: to get over the disappointment last season as a fan. Yes,

210
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: it was disappointing, and I think so far this offseason

211
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 2: we've heard the players talk about, Yeah, that was disappointing,

212
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 2: but that's fuel. Now Now it's let's look forward, like, yeah,

213
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: that that's done. Yeah it happened, it was disappointing. Now

214
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 2: let's focus on what's happening in the future, what's coming up,

215
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 2: and let's use that as fuel to have a better

216
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: season this season than we did last season.

217
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: And it's only and it gets to this point, isn't it,

218
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: Because it's July. Now we can now, you know, just

219
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: look past everything that's happened, and this is the point

220
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: where you look forward, don't you? As an NFL fan

221
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: in general, you look forward. You look forward to the

222
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: start of the new season, and you start thinking about

223
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: your team, about the Jags and all of the good

224
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: things that have happened for the Jacksonville Janquars over the

225
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: last few months, you know, and a really really I

226
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: think hopeful draft as well. I know that. You know

227
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people were disappointed that Calvin Ridley didn't

228
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: say but it didn't stay. But of course going to

229
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: the Titans as well, I suppose. But Brian Thomas Jr.

230
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 1: Comes in after trading down in the draft, this this

231
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: highly touted receiver, he comes in and I can just speak.

232
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: I going to speak on behalf of you as well.

233
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: Key exciting. It's so exciting, don't you think so? Right?

234
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 2: A lot of people say football's won in the trenches.

235
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: I'm not going to disagree with that. Does it make

236
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 2: me excited a little bit a little bit, But what

237
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 2: actually excites me is Brian Thomas Junior, Gabe Davis joining

238
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: the Jags and the potential of Trevor throwing deep balls

239
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 2: this season. That's what actually excites me.

240
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: Yes, we strength, I'll still being there.

241
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, absolutely, Like I just I'm just mentioning

242
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 2: the two newest additions to the roster. Right, Yes, we

243
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 2: we got bigger, stronger, faster on both sides of the ball.

244
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely fantastic. But Brian Thomas Judior and Gabe Davis being

245
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 2: added to the roster, that's the thing that excites me

246
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 2: the most.

247
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 3: Oh Man.

248
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Eric Amster. Let's not forget about Eric Amster.

249
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: And you're talking about the trenches.

250
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 3: But I mean i'd throw Patrick in there.

251
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see what happens with Rick Murter

252
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 2: as well, like like a as an IPP fan as well, Like,

253
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: that's really exciting to see where that's gonna go.

254
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, super nice guy as well. Obviously, if you missed

255
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: the first episode of Till Talk, we had Patrick Murter

256
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: who came through the IPP joined the Jacksonville Jaguars as

257
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: a tight end and hopefully, you know, hopefully we can

258
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: see him at some point this season, you know, on

259
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: the field. That'd be really exciting. What we didn't actually

260
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: speak about it did get mentioned in an interview with

261
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: Ben Koyak. I believe in the first episode, just touching

262
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: this briefly that I just don't know why. I just

263
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: think this is really funny that Love Island, Australia was

264
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: determined to get Patrick Murter on the TV show, which

265
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 1: I just thought was just amazing. He turned them down.

266
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: Obviously because he is, you know, far more focused on

267
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 1: his sporting duties. So I don't know why I found

268
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: that so funny.

269
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 3: I think it's great.

270
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 2: I didn't meet Patrick, I didn't speak to him yet.

271
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: I'm hoping maybe later this season. But dude, like, what

272
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: a lovely story to be wanted by Love Island.

273
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: In the end he ends up in Jacksonville. We could

274
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: be more happy to have them, could we. Key Earlier

275
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: in the show, we mentioned that you went on the

276
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: Jaguars UK tour that went to Bristol, Manchester, Dublin. So

277
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: let's get the low down basically, because you know, obviously

278
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: the Janku is engaging with so many old fans, new fans,

279
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: doing live shows, appearances, clinics as well. Actually, you know,

280
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: so much happened in what was it like four days?

281
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 3: Six six stay stays?

282
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: Okay, so six days? Yeah, So I mean, you know,

283
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: talk to me about that and some of your highlights.

284
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: Highlights that the bed sheets in the Holiday in Express

285
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: smelled wonderful.

286
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 3: No, okay, I'll give you fantastic.

287
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 2: I'll give you a professional highlight and a personal highlight.

288
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 2: Maybe professional highlight being at the Manchester Jagtag event one

289
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty kids there, I think the biggest jagtag

290
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,840
Speaker 2: event that has ever happened in the UK, right, and

291
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 2: the way you see the players and coaches come alive,

292
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: like giving detailed instructions to these kids was incredible. Like Ross,

293
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 2: like his face lights up when he's talking to the kids.

294
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 2: Ross matters Sorry, Ross, Ross to me, your.

295
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 1: Mate, un Ross.

296
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: And then you've got coach Heath that the same, Like

297
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: he's absolutely incredible with them. And then Foyer's energy is

298
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: just next level. So that was probably my professional highlight.

299
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: Personal highlight was watching the England game with the players

300
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 2: and coaches in a pub in Dublin.

301
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 3: That was pretty cool.

302
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: Did you have to explain it?

303
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 2: They all across the rules, They all got it like that,

304
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: So I think he's like's quite popular over there now,

305
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: so I think they all got it. And like Foyer

306
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 2: used to play a bit of soccer as well, so yeah,

307
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 2: they all they all got it. And then there was

308
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 2: a bit of trying to split the g with pints

309
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 2: of guitness as well, because.

310
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: You had coach Heath Farwell was there. Ross Mattisick long snapper,

311
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: long snapper. Of course we're gonna hear from him in a

312
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: second foyer, Lua Khan and Tony Cell as well, and

313
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 1: Ben Koyak. Can I forget Ben Coch?

314
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Ben Koyak joined us in Bristol for the

315
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: Baffa clinic.

316
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that was super cool as well.

317
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: Just to touch on the Baffa Clinic as well, because

318
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: I might have spoken about this in the last episode,

319
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: but I just think it's incredible. If you're getting into

320
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: American football, maybe your passion is American football here in

321
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: the UK, and you play it, I mean you're getting

322
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: coached by you know NFL players or you know, you

323
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: know Hall of famers essentially, you know, people that have

324
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: made their living from being in the league. You can't

325
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: ask for more than that. It's such an integral, important

326
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: experience and it must have been quite amazing just to

327
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: be around all these players, Key and just realize, you know,

328
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: for all these Baffer players that you know, how you know,

329
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: inspiring it is for a lot.

330
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: Of people, absolutely like the level of instruction that these

331
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 2: young players are getting, like it's next level. But to

332
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 2: be honest, Jay, it's not just the Baffer clinics either,

333
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 2: It's it's the Jagtag level as well. Like you see

334
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: the kids improving, you see them like applying these new

335
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 2: techniques that they're learning from these coaches and players, and

336
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 2: that's just awesome to see. And like the the energy

337
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 2: levels from the kids as well, Like because with their

338
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 2: filming you can watch the highlights video on our JAG's

339
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: UK YouTube channel of the whole tour, you'll see the

340
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 2: energy levels from these kids. It's just like they're absolutely

341
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 2: loving it. And why wouldn't you be, man like getting

342
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 2: coached by some of the best athletes in the world.

343
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 3: It's incredible.

344
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: One of my favorite moments at AO sent across their

345
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: mascot Vernon k was on hand actually to do, you know,

346
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 1: hand to do to work with the kids on field

347
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: conduct interviews as well, including with Ross Mattik who were

348
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: going to hear from in a second. And one of

349
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: the things that he was doing was like giving him

350
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: like English food, like English treats to try and get

351
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: his opinion, and Ross was kind of honest accept except

352
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: I am convinced. On Instagram, on the Jags UK and

353
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: Ireland Instagram, there is a video of Ross Mattisic eating

354
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: a cornish pasti and he's eating it. It's just the

355
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: camera stays in his face for several seconds, and I'm

356
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 1: interpreting that as, Yeah, that was that was actually disgusting. Yeah,

357
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: I really didn't like that. I really didn't like that

358
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: at all. And he ends it by saying, no, I

359
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: was delicious. I'm not convinced. So I'm not convinced, mate.

360
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 6: That is.

361
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 3: I get what you're saying.

362
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 2: It looks like maybe Ross didn't enjoy it, but I

363
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 2: think it's because it literally changed his life eating that pasti.

364
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: It almost looked like I'd never eaten food before, is

365
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: what you're saying.

366
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 3: Well, have you tried food until you've tried the cornish pasti.

367
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: I love a good cornish past it. I'm just not convinced.

368
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: Ross Matitic he was on the tour. You've got to

369
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: spend time with him, one of the big personalities, of

370
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,440

373
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,119

436
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 4: But at the end of the day, I mean, it's

437
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 4: the best way I.

438
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 7: Can describe the NFL is it's just a it's it's

439
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 7: just a bunch of kids playing. Man, it's a kid's

440
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 7: game for a king's ransom. So you know, you know,

441
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 7: obviously the money is there and that's great, but at

442
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,200
Speaker 7: the end of the day, we're all just kids.

443
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 4: You know, no one really has to grow up, right,

444
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 4: We're just playing a kids game. We're playing football. We're

445
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,959
Speaker 4: having fun, and there's stresses that that that come with it, right,

446
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:34,080

00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 4: in that locker room, it is it is fun.

448
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 7: I mean, that's that's like everyone's kind of safe place, right,

449
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 7: there's no cameras in there. You know, you don't necessarily

450
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 7: have to be politically correct at all times.

451
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 4: You know, you can make fun of your friends.

452
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: Now you do ros so you have to be politically

453
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 2: right now, right, right, right.

454
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 7: Right, But you know, it's just a safe place. Right

455
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 7: you can make fun of somebody, you can. You can

456
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 7: tell them you know that they need to get in

457
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 7: the gym, and you can tell them that rudely.

458
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 4: You can make fun of their clothes.

459
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, so it's kind of just one of those places

460
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 7: that you know, it's just it's just a fun environment

461
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,719
Speaker 7: to be in and everyone's usually in a good mood there.

462
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 2: That's awesome. You mentioned Logan. Who are your other best

463

Speaker 7: Dewey Winger he's our free safety. He is one of one,

465
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 7: and that's the best way to describe him. He's my

466
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,040

00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 7: So you see those guys in there and the way

482
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 7: that they work, it doesn't you can't really help, but

483
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 7: want to put extra work in just to not let

484
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 7: them down.

485
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 4: Right.

486
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, So.

487
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 2: A lot of those, a lot of the players that

488
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 2: you've just mentioned golfers and you've talked about you and

489
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 2: dow Be playing golf. Is this one of the ways

490
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 2: that you find you can escape all the intensity?

491
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: Oh?

492
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, So talk to me about golfing and how else.

493
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 4: Do you time? No, golf is my escape from reality.

494
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 7: It's just that kind of place where you can go

495
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 7: out for four hours, put your phone up and just

496
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 7: compete against yourself and kind of clear your mind and

497
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 7: and kind of put the stretches of the outside world away.

498
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 7: And because when you're on that course, you know you

499
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 7: got eighteen holes and you're gonna play eighteen.

500
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 4: Holes weather permitting.

501
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 7: But you can just kind of go out there and

502
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 7: just have fun, let loose, relax, beat yourself over up

503
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 7: over the bad shots and get fired up up the

504
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 7: good ones. It's just that I try and play once

505
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 7: a week during the season because the season gets.

506
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 4: Long and gets stressful.

507
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 7: But if you can get out there for four hours

508
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 7: a day and just say, look, this is my happy place,

509
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 7: I'm gonna clear my.

510
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 4: Mind and you know when I get when I get

511
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 4: back after that, you know we're gonna be ready to go.

512
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 7: But just give me, give me a little time not

513
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 7: to worry about the world. Let me just play my game.

514
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 6: Yeah.

515
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 2: I feel like it is that something that coach Peterson

516
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 2: encourages as well, because I feel like when when I've

517
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 2: seen him and met him, it's been like, very much

518
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 2: you do football, but you also need you time as well.

519
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 4: Right, Is that is that the culture? Yeah?

520
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 7: I don't I don't know if he necessarily encourages his golf.

521
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 7: He's a great golfer. He's probably one of the best

522
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 7: golfers in the building. But he definitely prioritizes his family.

523
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 7: If you see him, he's got a grandson running around

524
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 7: the facility at all times, and and uh, miss genius

525
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 7: wife travels with us, and he really prioritizes his family time.

526
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 7: And I think that's something that that you can look

527
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 7: up to in uh, and have kind of like a

528
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 7: role model in that sense where, yeah, we're playing we're

529
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 7: playing football. It's stressful, there's a lot of money on

530
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 7: the line. There's a lot of people that want us

531
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 7: to win. At the end of the day, man, it's

532
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 7: about your family, right, It's about It's about finding a

533
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 7: way to have a good balance. And I feel like

534
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 7: the people that that can find how to have a

535
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 7: balance are the more successful ones.

536
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 3: That's beautiful, dude, I really love that.

537
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 2: So this year two games in the UK Bears Patriots,

538
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 2: talk to me, how you feel them?

539
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 7: It's you know, that's that's a long way away. You

540
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 7: can recap this later down the road. But uh, I'm

541
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 7: not going to talk too much on them. I mean,

542
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 7: Caleb Williams will be fun to play against, Drake May.

543
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 7: You know, see what they got and you know they're

544
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,959
Speaker 7: gonna they're gonna come to the league and I'm sure

545
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 7: they're gonna make a splash as they're They're two great

546
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 7: athletes and two great people. But as far as us,

547
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 7: I think we know how to how to handle this trip.

548
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 2: Now we've done we've done back to back before.

549
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, we've done back to back and I think it's

550
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 7: the best thing for the team. It's just a bonding

551
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 7: experience anytime you can. It's it's kind of like a

552
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 7: long round of golf for me. You come out here

553
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 7: and it's yeah, it's work, it's all work. But at

554
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 7: the same time, you're you're you're trapped in a hotel

555
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 7: with your teammates for ten days with no family. What

556
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 7: else are you going to do except sit down and

557
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 7: have a conversation with somebody? Right, maybe maybe on the

558
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 7: third day there, I've talked to my friends enough, I'm

559
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 7: gonna go sit down and a new teammate that I

560
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,719
Speaker 7: don't really know that well, I was gonna sit down

561
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 7: with me and we're gonna have a conversation, or we're

562
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 7: gonna play cards together, or we're gonna go in the pool.

563
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: Maybe.

564
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 4: Hey, you like golf, you kind of like golf, let's go,

565
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 4: let's go play around out here.

566
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: You know.

567
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 3: Did you play in the UK when you were here?

568
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 4: Yeah? I did, absolutely. Yeah, that's a great course. Yeah

569
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 4: I had to.

570
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 7: But like I'm saying, just like, it's it's a bonding

571
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 7: experience and you kind of don't have a choice but

572
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 7: to talk to them, right, I mean, most of the time,

573
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 7: we're five hours ahead, so you can't really call people

574
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 7: back home, right, I mean, so, hey, let's sit down

575
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 7: and have some tea, I guess, and have a conversation.

576
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 7: And I think that that last year really was like

577
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 7: a catalyst for us because when we came back, we

578
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 7: won that hot streak, we got two over here, went home,

579
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 7: went on a run and it was almost just like

580
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 7: a Bondie experience. I like going to summer camp with

581
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 7: your friends, and it always helps when you win too,

582
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 7: so it makes it a little more fun.

583
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 2: Acent final question, talk to me about You've been to

584
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 2: the UK a few times now, so best and worst

585
00:25:59,520 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 2: of the UK?

586
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 7: Best and worst that Paty I had today was it

587
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 7: was was delicious in Bristol.

588
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 4: If you ever in Bristol, it gets you one of those.

589
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 4: It's essentially like a meat pie. Would you say yeah,

590
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 4: and it is.

591
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 7: Deliciousine, I'm being genuine it was delicious. I would I

592
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 7: would get another one. There was rumors that I was

593
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 7: gonna next time maybe make one. I'd love to have,

594
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 7: you know, know, how to bring that back to America. Worst, Oh,

595
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 7: they didn't have we stay at the grove. I don't

596
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 7: believe they had ranch dressing, so that was US Americans

597
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,239
Speaker 7: need some ranch. So I think this past trip, our

598
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 7: nutrition is brought like giant things of ranch and heinz

599
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 7: ketchup and like the things you don't you don't think

600
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 7: you need until you don't have.

601
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, the ranch dressing is is a necessity.

602
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 3: So dude, I love it.

603
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,479

664
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 2: that that's what was what's for him was the logo.

665
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, there'll be so many people around the

666
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,760

Speaker 1: only giveaway that we're going to be doing this season.

Speaker 3: How does that sound?

684
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,719
Speaker 1: I think that sounds unblievable.

685
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 2: They were going to get on the airplane without signing it,

686
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 2: Jay and I dragged them back and said, you're not

687
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,840

Speaker 1: is going to win that prize.

701
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 2: Coming up now, we're going to have an interview with

702
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 2: Maria Gigante, who is the Headhunt show of Jaguar's UK

703
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 2: and Island. She spoke to Rhys Parkinson, who is the

704
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 2: host of our Jaguars Weekly UK show on Sky Sports

705
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 2: NFL and they chatted about all things Jaguars UK and Ireland.

706
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 8: Maria, We're in Dublin, yes, at one of our community events.

707
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 8: Pretty cool, really cool. It's amazing always going to these

708
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 8: events because we do it in Ireland and autocross the

709
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 8: UK as well. What is it when you come here

710
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 8: that you go because obviously a big smile on your

711
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 8: face when you arrive, what's the main thing for you

712
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 8: to go Wow, Like we've pulled this off, We've done

713
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 8: it again.

714
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 5: Well, we've only just started in Ireland so our rights

715
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 5: just took in effect last year and we have over

716
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 5: one hundred and sixty kids here doing Jagtag. But then

717
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 5: if you look beyond, we have an older generation of

718
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 5: kids working with AFI who are working in specialty clinics,

719
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 5: specialty positions. So if you look at what we're doing

720
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 5: right here, as we're offering these kids an opportunity to

721
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 5: get there, so building a foundation and really growing the

722
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 5: fan base and growing the love of American football.

723
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 8: So it's almost like a journey from being a kid

724
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 8: and you see the Jags in where you live in

725
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 8: your country, and then it's like, oh, well, I'm going

726
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 8: to stay with them until i'm and I don't and

727
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 8: potentially play the game myself.

728
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 5: Exactly, I'm going to start here at Jagtag and then

729
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 5: the Jags have provided me an opportunity to progress through

730
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 5: all the different points of Jagtag to end up you

731
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 5: know in tackle in tackle football programs with AFI and

732
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 5: why Dublin specifically, because we know that there's a great

733
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 5: football market here. It's very advanced. They understand the game,

734
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 5: they're hungry for more football, and for us being in

735
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 5: Northern Ireland in the UK, this was a natural progression

736
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 5: for the club and.

737
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 8: We've done the live events which were amazing, amazing. Were

738
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 8: surprised to see as many Judge jerseys as were there

739
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 8: at the event that was it felt like it was.

740
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 8: It really pucked out.

741
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:29,479
Speaker 2: It really did.

742
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 5: And if I'd be lying to say that I wasn't

743
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 5: a little bit nervous coming and doing that for the

744
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 5: first time, but it was really well received. There were

745
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 5: a ton of Jags jerseys and you know, the questions

746
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 5: and the interaction with the coach and with the players,

747
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 5: you could tell that these people really understood American football,

748
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 5: they understood the Jags, and they were excited to get

749
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 5: that kind of access to our coaching staff and our players.

750
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 8: Now, speaking of our coaching stuff and players, this is

751
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 8: a bit why it blaws my mind every time we've

752
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 8: got coach Heath himself getting in the special teams drills

753
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 8: at the back and foyer as well and ross when

754
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 8: the players and coach come over to the tour, is

755
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 8: it discussed before, like we want you to get involved

756
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 8: in everything because it seems like they love it as

757
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,320
Speaker 8: much as we do putting on the events.

758
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean we do a good job of prepping them.

759
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,399
Speaker 5: But we were just having a conversation just before Heath

760
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 5: went out and he was really excited. He was pumped

761
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,359
Speaker 5: up to get going again because he loves to see

762
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 5: the enthusiasm. He loves to see how advanced it's, you know,

763
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 5: the program has become and how much these kids and

764
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 5: you know, the teens know about American football, so for

765
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 5: them it's great for them to teach their skills, but

766
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 5: then to also get involved at a younger age. To

767
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 5: see these kids getting involved at a younger age.

768
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 8: So we see the success that we've had at Wembley

769
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 8: and the kid Even at Wembley, you see the kids

770
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 8: come on and do jagtag during the game. Is that

771
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 8: something that you're hoping to replicate in Dublin down the

772
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 8: line that's similar kind of size that we've managed to

773
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 8: do at Wembley. Yeah.

774
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I mean we're working with different delivery partners. We're

775
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 5: making sure that we're getting into schools, but we're also

776
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 5: doing camps, we're developing all female programs and everything. So

777
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 5: we are trying to replicate everything we're doing in the

778
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 5: UK here so that we can continue to grow American football.

779
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 8: And for you, moving forward with the community events, what

780
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 8: would you like to see happen UK and in Ireland overall?

781
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 5: Well, we hope to see them progressing like into summer camps,

782
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 5: into regular curriculum, into the schools and then hopefully for us,

783
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 5: you know, to keep bringing on more schools, more delivery

784
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 5: partners to advance. Hopefully we can now pursue jagtag extra time,

785
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 5: which is the progression from flag in intermediate before you

786
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 5: get to tackle. So hopefully we can start rolling out

787
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 5: all those programs here in Ireland.

788
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 8: Amazing, you love school, you love football that an event

789
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,359
Speaker 8: like today, someone that's never heard of school, especially one

790
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 8: of the kids, will come here and just because of

791
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 8: this event, the rest of their lives absolutely into it.

792
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 5: We're hoping that they're going to take the flag, take

793
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 5: a fly, or take the picture of heath or foyer

794
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 5: and keep that and put that on their wall and

795
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 5: hold it either for aspirational reasons or for just something

796
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 5: to follow and to love because they had a great

797
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 5: day here. We want to make sure that we're introducing

798
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 5: a healthy lifestyle through sport, through Jagtag, through the Jagtag program.

799
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 5: But we hope that if they come away from day

800
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 5: today and have a good time, that they become a

801
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 5: Jaguars fan.

802
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 3: Have no doubts, absolutely no doubts.

803
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 8: Awesome, Maria, thank you so much.

804
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 5: Thank you, Ree take care.

805
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: Now, every episode on til Talk we get a Jaggs

806
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 1: fan on to give us the big question this time around.

807
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 1: Let's say hello to Steve Stravelopolis. Steve, did I say

808
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: her last day correctly?

809
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 6: It's a bit off?

810
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 3: Close it up, that's mine wrong every weekday.

811
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 4: I know.

812
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,240
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry.

813
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 6: I'm used to. I've had thirty three years of it.

814
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 1: So we have tasked you, haven't we, Steve. We've given

815
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 1: us the big question. Of course, a Jacksonville Jenky is

816
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: related big question. What have you got for us this

817
00:36:59,440 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: time around?

818
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 6: So, guys, my big question is one that I think

819
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 6: has been on every Jags fan's mind after the rebuild

820
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 6: following the Urban Mayer season. Do you think in the

821
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 6: next five years the Jags have a real shot at

822
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 6: a Super Bowl run and whether they can win it.

823
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: Key, do you want to go first?

824
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 3: No, they can't.

825
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: Well that's that's no end of conversation.

826
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 2: Yes, not just because I'm a Jags fan, but because

827
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 2: of the way the team is building everything that we've

828
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 2: talked about in this episode so far, Trevor's contract, Josh

829
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 2: Allen getting MVP, aside of being QVQB, and new stadium.

830
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 2: As mister Kahn said, there's no excuse.

831
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 3: Now we need to win.

832
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: I think you just put it perfectly.

833
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 4: They're Key.

834
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: I think you've got the as I mentioned a bit

835
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: earlier on until your talk, you've got the big two pieces,

836
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: the ones that we're really excited about committing to Jacksonville

837
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: in Trevor Lawrence, in Josh Allen as well. Five years

838
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: is a long time? Can I add? Five years is

839
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 1: a long time? If I'm being honest, I don't think

840
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 1: that any NFL team should be looking at I want

841
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl in five years? I don't.

842
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: I think that's too long. I think that because of

843
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: the nature of the NFL, I think in my mind

844
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: this question should be can they win within three years?

845
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,800
Speaker 1: I think that that is the length of time that

846
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:24,439
Speaker 1: you can expect to have certain players, certain positions, certain

847
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 1: people still on certain contracts. You know what I mean?

848
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: Five years is so long. I think that it should

849
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:33,919
Speaker 1: be reframed and if you're a Jags fan, I would

850
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: be hoping that within the next two to three years

851
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: that there can be a real, real go at winning

852
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 1: winning that Super Bowl. It's achievable. The only thing I

853
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: would say, the only thing I would say is that

854
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars are in the unlucky position now. I

855
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: think that they happen to be in a quite a

856
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: resurgent division, which I think means that not only for

857
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: the Jags, but every team in the AFC South, it's

858
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: going to be tougher. Let's say the the NFC South

859
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: for example. You know, because I think that all of

860
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: those teams be competitive within the next two to three years,

861
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 1: which means that hopefully that's a positive thing, because the

862
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 1: better the teams around you, the better you have to be.

863
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? But what it does

864
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 1: mean is it's going to be It's going to be entertaining,

865
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: but it's going to be it's going to be hard.

866
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: What do you reckon, Steve?

867
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I think you raise a good point

868
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 6: there with regards to the time scales. Maybe I'm just

869
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 6: trying to be a little fairer to the team to

870
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 6: give them a bit more time, But I think it's

871
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,800
Speaker 6: it's a difficult question to answer one I'm fearful of

872
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 6: answering because last season I certainly went into it, and

873
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 6: I think a lot of other fans did really really optimistic.

874
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 6: I think we fell into a bit of a trap.

875
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 6: I think pre season media press coverage was very, very

876
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 6: positive around the team, the changes that have been made,

877
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 6: and I think they even talking about potential Super Bowl contenders.

878
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 6: So yeah, I was very optimistic. We started the season well,

879
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 6: and I think, if my memory serves me correctly, we

880
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 6: came out of the Texans game eight and three, and

881
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 6: I think we were number one seed in the AFC

882
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 6: at the time. So me and my partner we started

883
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,759
Speaker 6: making plans for our trip over to Vegas and how

884
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 6: we're going to buy Super Bowl tickets without having to

885
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 6: re mortgage the house. So we were incredibly optimistic. And

886
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 6: then of course, after that game, I think we went

887
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 6: onto the Bengals and the following six games, I think

888
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 6: we only won one of them, so lost the next five.

889
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 6: So it was a bit of a roller coaster of

890
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 6: emotions and it's sort of set me back a bit

891
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 6: in my positivity. As much as I love the Jags,

892
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:50,399
Speaker 6: I think I want to take a bit.

893
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 1: More of a I guess measured more measured twelve months ago.

894
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 6: I think so. I think so this season, I'm not

895
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 6: sure how it's going to go. I think we've still

896
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 6: got some fundamental issues with the offense. I know a

897
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 6: lot of changes were made, certainly to the defensive coordinators,

898
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 6: and me personally, I feel more attention probably was needed

899
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 6: on the offensive coordinators more so than defensively. Our offensive

900
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 6: line I don't think gives an awful lot of time

901
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 6: for Trevor Lawrence to act and utilize the receiver cause

902
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:28,280
Speaker 6: that we have, and I don't know if enough changes

903
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 6: have been made to change that situation. So certainly this year,

904
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 6: I can't see it. Whether in the next two three

905
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 6: years possibly, I think we've now given the Texans an

906
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,439
Speaker 6: opportunity to rebuild their team.

907
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 4: C J.

908
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 6: Strouds coming incredibly strong, which is really what I was

909
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 6: hoping Lawrence would do. But I think that first season

910
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 6: with Irban Meyer was a bit of a bit of

911
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,760
Speaker 6: a hit to him, and I think.

912
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 2: Do you know what Steve thinking about that first season

913
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:02,479
Speaker 2: with Urban Meyer. I actually think it's phenomenal that Trevor

914
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 2: Lawrence then did what he did the following season after that,

915
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 2: because that season.

916
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 3: Was a right off man. So yeah, but I get

917
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:11,439
Speaker 3: I hear what you're saying.

918
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, And I think as exciting as the new

919
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,720
Speaker 6: plans are for the stadium, it's going to be interesting

920
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,839
Speaker 6: to see how that affects the team because of course

921
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 6: it's going to be rather disruptive, especially when they start

922
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 6: construction as well and having to move stadiums. It's yeah,

923
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 6: I think that might have an impact as well.

924
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: They have put out the timeline for that and it

925
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: looks like it will be disrupted for one season that

926
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: the season prior to that, I think the capacity is

927
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: going down. Whether there is one season where they will

928
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: be looking to relocate to a to a different stadium

929
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 1: that that hasn't been mentioned, but that is several years away,

930
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: you know, sort of. You know, going back to what

931
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:55,439
Speaker 1: I said before, that is not that it's a long

932
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,800
Speaker 1: long time away by any means, but you want to

933
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: see progress in the team, and I think that we

934
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: spoke about this a little bit earlier, didn't we Key

935
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: it's at the end of last season is really throwing

936
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 1: a spanner in the works, not only too probably you

937
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: know a lot of the players, especially at the time,

938
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: but then a lot of the a lot of fans

939
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: outlooks right now. But you know, this isn't helpful in

940
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: any way, but I think that it's it's really important

941
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: to remember what the first half of the season was like,

942
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: and what the first half of the season was like

943
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: for the players with a healthy Trevor Lawrence, you know

944
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 1: as well, and to remember that that last half of

945
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 1: the season wasn't indicative of the team as a whole

946
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 1: for the whole season, and it doesn't really show what

947
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 1: the team can do. So while I understand Steve that

948
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 1: you're feeling measured and maybe sort of less optimistic than

949
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: you were twelve months ago, because that is totally understandable

950
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 1: after the last you know, end of the last half

951
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: the season, you know that isn't that isn't what the

952
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: Jaguars are. You've got to remember the first half of

953
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: the season, and that's a lot of games that you

954
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: know that they were in a really good position. And

955
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 1: as you say that they were the number one seed

956
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,240
Speaker 1: in the conference.

957
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, agreed. I think it's going to be interesting

958
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 6: to see how we start this season. And I think

959
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 6: i'd rather telling of what's.

960
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 4: What, Steve.

961
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 3: I love that you're measured. I am the opposite of that.

962
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's been dreadful. He's been like, right, well, you know,

963
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: in my mind, we won the Super Bowl last year.

964
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 2: You know, I remember watching the forty nine Ers game

965
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 2: in twenty thirteen where we got absolutely trounced and going,

966
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 2: we could still.

967
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 3: Win the super Bowl. It's not over.

968
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:40,280
Speaker 6: That's positive as well, didn't it because we lost abysmally

969
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 6: to the forty nine ers after our bye week. But yeah,

970
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 6: I think even then I was still very optimistic that

971
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 6: we've got a good chance here.

972
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're like me when I was when I was

973
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,280
Speaker 1: I think thirteen years old and I was watching sixteen

974
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: year old Wayne Rooney scoring the Premier League and I

975
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I still got time. You know. That's

976
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: essentially that's to say to me what it was like. Yeah, Steve,

977
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: tell me about how you how you became a Jacksonville

978
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 1: Jaguars fan.

979
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 6: So it's actually a decade, a decade this year that

980
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 6: we've been anniversary yeah, anniversary year, so who knows, maybe

981
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 6: Super Bowl on the cards after all. So yeah, twenty

982
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 6: fourteen we went to our first game. It wasn't actually

983
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 6: a Jaguars game. It was a I think it was

984
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 6: Dolphins v. Raiders at Wembley Stadium and we had never

985
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 6: really watched American football before and we absolutely loved it.

986
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 6: We really really loved it. So from there we started

987
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 6: learning all the rules, as everyone has to do to

988
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 6: fully understand the game. I mean, it takes a long

989
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 6: time to do that. It certainly didn't happen in the

990
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 6: first year. And the following year, twenty fifteen, we went

991
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 6: again with a group of us and we watched a

992
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 6: Jaguars game. I can't remember who they were playing now

993
00:45:53,520 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 6: my memory, twenty fifteen, yes, I think it was actually yeah, yeah, yeah,

994
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 6: we'll fixated on the game. We love how the Jaguars played,

995
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 6: We love that they were sort of a London team

996
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 6: but of course still Jacksonville. But we also love the

997
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:17,920
Speaker 6: sport itself and the sportsmanship that you don't often find

998
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 6: in English football, and I think that was a big

999
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 6: draw for us as well. So yeah, we've been going

1000
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 6: every year since now. That the Jags are playing twice

1001
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 6: a year as well. We go twice a year, which

1002
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 6: is great, fantastic or great experience every time we go.

1003
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 2: So Steve talk to us a little bit about the

1004
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 2: fact that you guys do something a little bit different

1005
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 2: to most fans when you go to the game.

1006
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 6: Maybe we take it a little bit further than most. Yeah,

1007
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 6: we like to dress in our Jags wonesis. It's sort

1008
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 6: of become our our mark now. So yeah, there's always

1009
00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:56,080
Speaker 6: a group of us in jagsuonsies. We run a very

1010
00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 6: small Instagram page that follows our journey of watching the

1011
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 6: Jags and going to the Jags games. But yeah, every year,

1012
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 6: without fail, we will always be in our Jagswansis.

1013
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: Is it the same WANSI you've been wearing for like

1014
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:08,000
Speaker 1: a decade?

1015
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 6: Should I answer that honestly or I feel like you should.

1016
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: But I also want to know, like, are we are

1017
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: we going to be like able to to spot you

1018
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: in the crowd because of the really like horrible you

1019
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 1: definitely needs.

1020
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 4: To be.

1021
00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 3: Coming off.

1022
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 6: We've watched it. We've watched it. Yes, it is it

1023
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 6: is the same one. Okay, I haven't grown it, so

1024
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 6: there's no reason to change it.

1025
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll move on quickly from that. I would like

1026
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: to know, actually, because I always find it, you know,

1027
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,879
Speaker 1: interesting when you you know, when you when you become

1028
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 1: such a fan of the team, sometimes you have like

1029
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: such an affection for maybe a particular player or a

1030
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: particular game, or a particular player from when you first started,

1031
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 1: you know, supporting that team. Is there somebody that like,

1032
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 1: you know, maybe someone even like a little bit of

1033
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: skill that you have this fondness for, you know, from

1034
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 1: back in the day when you first started being a

1035
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: Jags fan.

1036
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 6: Calais Campbell beautiful, big big fan, big big fan. Love

1037
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 6: the way he played, but also love the way he

1038
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 6: behaved off the field as well. I think he did

1039
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 6: a lot for the team, and I think he continues

1040
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:19,359
Speaker 6: to do a lot for the sport as well.

1041
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,919
Speaker 1: So he's been playing on like one year contracts, hasn't

1042
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: he for the last few years. Is there like a

1043
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 1: part of you that's like, come on, come.

1044
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 6: Back, come back to Jacksonville. Maybe last year or the

1045
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 6: year before, there was some rumors that he I remember, Yeah, yeah,

1046
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,280
Speaker 6: it didn't didn't come to anything unfortunate, but yeah, definitely

1047
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 6: would love to have him back.

1048
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 2: Josh breaking the sack record last year and doing the

1049
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 2: tribute to kalaas one of my favorite moments of last season.

1050
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 3: That was lovely.

1051
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's brilliant, brilliant and well earned as well.

1052
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you've got your Instagram page. Talked to us

1053
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 2: a little bit about the Jags UK and Island community

1054
00:48:56,239 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 2: as a whole.

1055
00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 6: Please, the community is fantastic. So last year we really

1056
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,479
Speaker 6: started getting more involved with the sort of pre game

1057
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 6: events that were going on, and I think Jags did

1058
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 6: a really good job of putting these events on and

1059
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 6: getting everybody together. So we went to the viewing party.

1060
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 6: There was also I can't remember what it's called now,

1061
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 6: I think it was where the JP Schadwick was hosting

1062
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 6: the Happy Yeah, that was a happy how. We went

1063
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:25,879
Speaker 6: to that as well, And in fact, we actually met

1064
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 6: an American Jags fan who had flown over. He ended

1065
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 6: up sitting on our table with us and having a

1066
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 6: drink and we're now very close friends. We went to

1067
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,319
Speaker 6: the game together that year, he's flying over this year

1068
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 6: and staying with us to watch these games as way.

1069
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 6: So yeah, it's just it's really and this goes back

1070
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 6: to the sportsmanship and how it differs to football over

1071
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 6: here in the UK. I just think you meet a

1072
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 6: lot of people and they're always very friendly on both

1073
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 6: sides of the team. It doesn't have to be the

1074
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 6: same fans. So last year when we played the Bills,

1075
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:02,600
Speaker 6: it was certainly Bills your enforced there and we were

1076
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 6: of course in our onesies and we were getting ridiculed in.

1077
00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 4: A loving way.

1078
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 6: But of course when we won, we were doing it

1079
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 6: back and it was it was well received. So it's

1080
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 6: just a really good atmosphere, really great atmosphere.

1081
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you really have your plans set out for

1082
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 1: the two games the later on this year?

1083
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,320
Speaker 6: Then all booked tickets bought ready to go?

1084
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: One's the iron, No don't.

1085
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 6: We don't eem them. We like to keep rough and ready.
