00:02 - Jacksonville Jaguars, the Atlanta Falcons,
00:07 the RS, don't tell me there's not a home field advantage
00:10 for the Jags in London.
00:12 This is their 10th NFL London game
00:15 and they are a three point home,
00:17 that's what I'm gonna consider it,
00:18 home favorite against the Atlanta Falcons.
00:21 It should also be noted, the RS,
00:23 this will be the first of two for the Jags in London
00:26 in back to back weeks this Sunday at Wembley.
00:29 Next Sunday against the Bills in Tottenham in North London.
00:34 The Jags, no London town better than most,
00:36 the RS, does it result in the second victory
00:39 of the year for Jacksonville?
00:41 - I don't know if it results in the second victory
00:43 of the year for Jacksonville,
00:43 but I think the advantage probably would be next week
00:45 when they take on the Buffalo Bills
00:47 'cause the travel advantage will be on the side of Jacksonville
00:49 I can't assume that shot cons as a,
00:50 hey, fire up the jet and fly back to Jacksonville
00:53 then fire it back up and travel back there next weekend.
00:56 So something to keep an eye on.
00:57 But if we're being honest with ourselves,
00:59 not really happy what I'm seeing out of the Jacksonville
01:00 Jaguars so far this season.
01:02 The Atlanta Falcons, yeah,
01:03 they could be much better on offense,
01:04 but maybe we're just seeing a new wave
01:06 Detroit Lions defense that actually is very good
01:09 because Atlanta didn't perform all that well last week.
01:11 Now granted, let's flip it over back over to Jacksonville
01:13 and say, what did we get out of them with the Houston Texas?
01:16 Absolutely nothing.
01:17 They got crushed on their home field in the game
01:19 that I probably never saw coming.
01:20 A rookie quarterback in a team
01:22 that's just starting to make its footprint in the NFL
01:24 going up against big, bad Jacksonville Jaguars
01:27 that are supposed to win the AFC South.
01:28 You couldn't tell me who the better team
01:30 and who actually was supposed to win the South
01:32 based on that football game.
01:33 Having said that,
01:34 the way you're supposed to beat the Jacksonville Jaguars,
01:36 at least the way you have been able to beat them,
01:38 they give up 265 yards in the air average per game,
01:42 which equates to 7.2 yards per pass attempt.
01:45 You say, great, let's use an aerial assault
01:47 and get after the Jaguars.
01:48 That's not what Atlanta does with Desmond Ritter.
01:51 If he throws for over 200 yards,
01:52 it feels like a fantastic game,
01:54 which means you're leaning much more on the running game
01:56 and saying to the South, okay,
01:58 we talked Major League Baseball, right?
02:00 They're like the Milwaukee Bucks.
02:01 Hey, just get some timely hitting out there
02:03 from some of our players,
02:04 which means let's just get some timely plays on offense
02:06 by B. John Robinson and Pitts
02:08 and Drake London at the wide receiver position.
02:11 I do think there's a legitimate chance
02:13 to pull up a slight upset here for the Atlanta Falcons.
02:16 It's just tough coming off
02:17 of last week's offensive performance
02:18 on what I'm actually going to get.
02:20 But then again, taking a look at the game last night,
02:22 maybe Detroit's defense is on the come up here
02:24 and we shouldn't shame Atlanta
02:26 for not really performing all that well
02:27 in their last game against Detroit.
