Speaker 1: we'll get to Jeff Logman and head coach Urban Meyer
0:39
Speaker 1: coming up a busy week around t I A bank Field.
0:43
Speaker 1: Earlier on Tuesday, Jaguars owners shot Con released a statement
0:47
Speaker 1: about the last couple of days from This is from
0:50
Speaker 1: Jaguar's owner shot Con. I have addressed this matter with Urban.
0:53
Speaker 1: Specifics of our conversation will be held in confidence. What
0:56
Speaker 1: I will say is his conduct last weekend was inexcusable.
0:59
Speaker 1: I appreciate Urban remorse, which I believe is sincere. Now
1:02
Speaker 1: he must regain our trust and respect. That will require
1:04
Speaker 1: a personal commitment from Urban to everyone who supports, represents,
1:08
Speaker 1: or plays for our team. I am confident he will
1:11
Speaker 1: deliver end quote. That's from Jaguars owner Shot Con Jack's
1:14
Speaker 1: analyst Jeff Logerman with us NOW along with Jaguars head
1:17
Speaker 1: coach Urban Meyer. Coach, how how difficult were the conversations
1:23
Speaker 1: the last couple of days and what is your reaction
1:25
Speaker 1: initially to Mr CON's statement, the conversations have been horrible.
1:29
Speaker 1: It's UH. I own the mistake that I made was
1:33
Speaker 1: a h I've always looked at the job of a
1:36
Speaker 1: coach for thirty plus years that I've done this is
1:39
Speaker 1: to you know, everything you can possibly do to make
1:44
Speaker 1: your players comfortable play the game that sports performance. I
1:47
Speaker 1: give everybody the best possible situation. You put him in
1:51
Speaker 1: a good scheme. He put a good group of assistant
1:54
Speaker 1: coaches around him in a safe environment, and then get
1:56
Speaker 1: out of the way. And I didn't do that. I
1:58
Speaker 1: became a distraction. UH made a stupid decision, and I
2:03
Speaker 1: apologized to it. I certainly understand. Our owner Mr. Khan
2:06
Speaker 1: has been fantastic since the day I met him, and
2:10
Speaker 1: I apologized him as well. And and UH have to
2:12
Speaker 1: move forward and regained the trust and and UH are
2:17
Speaker 1: our players. I had conversation with our players. They were
2:19
Speaker 1: good with their leaders and um so very good. But
2:25
Speaker 1: and our staff has been uh, just moving forward. We
2:27
Speaker 1: got a big game to play and and uh, I
2:29
Speaker 1: apologize to being distraction urban. The locker room is a
2:33
Speaker 1: very unique place, one that that I was in for
2:36
Speaker 1: quite some time, and it can be tough to regain
2:38
Speaker 1: respect and trust in that locker room. How do you
2:41
Speaker 1: go about that, Jeff? The locker room has been my
2:44
Speaker 1: entire life. That's all I've ever looked at. I've always
2:47
Speaker 1: you know, some even other coaches when I was a
2:50
Speaker 1: young coach, I said, you know, when I'd hear conversations
2:53
Speaker 1: among coaching staff, and I would always say that there's
2:55
Speaker 1: only one thing that matters in this whole facility organization,
2:59
Speaker 1: and that's the locker you know, how we build it,
3:01
Speaker 1: how we treat it, how we earn their trust, how
3:04
Speaker 1: we you know, that goes back to the culture of
3:06
Speaker 1: excellence I called around here, is how do we make
3:08
Speaker 1: sure we give them everything possible? You know, I made
3:11
Speaker 1: the comments, but I don't think are when I hear
3:13
Speaker 1: our players would have to go out and get sports
3:16
Speaker 1: performance and you know, we should do this all right
3:18
Speaker 1: here for them, so we've earned their trust in that respect,
3:22
Speaker 1: I know that for a fact. Now, the fact that
3:24
Speaker 1: I became a distraction, I've got to earn their trust
3:27
Speaker 1: back from that, and that that's not an easy thing
3:29
Speaker 1: to do. How long do you expect something like that
3:32
Speaker 1: to take. I mean, the locker room is certainly one
3:34
Speaker 1: that can be very forgiving at times and at other
3:37
Speaker 1: times they can be not. Every locker room is different,
3:39
Speaker 1: Every team is different. I've told people with teams of
3:42
Speaker 1: living organisms and it's UH driven obviously by a culture
3:45
Speaker 1: and driven by leaders. I believe we have a very
3:47
Speaker 1: strong culture. I know we have incredible leaders, but this
3:51
Speaker 1: one's on me UH to go out and coach my
3:53
Speaker 1: very best, give them everything possible that I could do
3:57
Speaker 1: to help them have success. Coach. During that statement, Mr
4:02
Speaker 1: Khan said, the personal commitment to everyone who supports, represents,
4:06
Speaker 1: or plays for the Jaguars, What does that mean to
4:09
Speaker 1: you personally? Well, it means you know. I made a
4:12
Speaker 1: comment when I got here about the logo about an
4:16
Speaker 1: owner who UH wants to win in the worst way.
4:19
Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons I came here. I just
4:21
Speaker 1: I admire the guy so much and his his UH
4:25
Speaker 1: drive is is in the purest form and it's for Jacksonville.
4:28
Speaker 1: And so that's what makes me so angry at myself
4:31
Speaker 1: that I lived that. I believe that, and I failed,
4:34
Speaker 1: and I got to get it back and I will
4:37
Speaker 1: Irvan with this distraction trying to get the team refocused
4:41
Speaker 1: on a game in Tennessee. The players are going to
4:43
Speaker 1: get questions throughout the week, I'm sure not only from
4:46
Speaker 1: local media, but national media and also the visiting teams media.
4:50
Speaker 1: How do you try to attempt to kind of focus
4:54
Speaker 1: away from the distraction to get a team ready to
4:56
Speaker 1: play football game? Uh? Once again, I I believe that's
5:00
Speaker 1: in my court. I'm We're going to do the best.
5:02
Speaker 1: But you know this, Jeff as well as anyone, that
5:05
Speaker 1: the leaders on their team are going to make that decision. Um,
5:08
Speaker 1: and it depends how much trust you have built up
5:11
Speaker 1: with him. How we structure everything this week and and
5:15
Speaker 1: focus on winning that game. So, UM, I'm gonna be
5:19
Speaker 1: as extremely clear as I can. Our staff is working
5:23
Speaker 1: their tails off, but you know as well as I do,
5:25
Speaker 1: that the owner, the ownership of this team is with
5:27
Speaker 1: the players. A coach, big ball game coming up Sunday.
5:31
Speaker 1: In in a lot of ways, right, I mean, this
5:33
Speaker 1: is this is a big one to kind of get
5:35
Speaker 1: back on track here and get things moving in the
5:37
Speaker 1: right direction again. Huge game, and we played our best
5:40
Speaker 1: game against the Bengals. You know that offensive performance and
5:43
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, Um, I went back and watched that thing
5:47
Speaker 1: a hundred times and um really high end execution. You know,
5:51
Speaker 1: James Robinson, Rant hard Vis got a great day offensive line.
5:56
Speaker 1: You know, we lost a couple One of the issues
5:58
Speaker 1: we're going to deal with. We lost two very good
6:00
Speaker 1: players A J. Cannon, DJ shark Um and they're gone
6:04
Speaker 1: for a while. So who's gonna step up and play?
6:07
Speaker 1: You know, Uh, Bart came in and did pretty well.
6:10
Speaker 1: He's a good player. But you know, our depth is
6:12
Speaker 1: hit Walker little is gonna have to come in and
6:15
Speaker 1: provide depth along with her Will Richardson. But if you
6:19
Speaker 1: build on the you know, from week one to week
6:22
Speaker 1: two to week three to week four, I mean that
6:24
Speaker 1: was high. I mean we should have been up twenty
6:26
Speaker 1: one nothing at halftime. Defense played great in the first
6:29
Speaker 1: half and obviously did not play great in the second half.
6:31
Speaker 1: We have four or five critical errors in the second
6:35
Speaker 1: half that I couldn't get off the field. Urban will
6:38
Speaker 1: come back in a moment plenty more. We'll look back
6:40
Speaker 1: a little more at that Cincinnati game and and put
6:43
Speaker 1: a bowl on that one, and move forward a little
6:45
Speaker 1: later in the show to the Synergy Titans as well.
6:48
Speaker 1: We're off and running. This is the Urban Meyers Show
6:50
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome Back. The Urban Meyer
6:56
Speaker 1: Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back to
7:00
Speaker 1: Urban Meyers Show. Rolls along Jaguar's game day broadcast are
7:03
Speaker 1: presented by Vicestar Credit Union, j P Shadrick, Jeff Logoman
7:07
Speaker 1: and head coach Urban Meyer. And we're gonna go ahead
7:10
Speaker 1: and put a bow on the Cincinnati game here, Coach,
7:13
Speaker 1: it didn't end up obviously, the second half didn't go
7:16
Speaker 1: as as planned in that game. Four team nothing. And
7:19
Speaker 1: just looking back at it, that goal line situation, I
7:22
Speaker 1: asked you about it right after the game, right before halftime,
7:25
Speaker 1: the decision to go for it and the play call
7:28
Speaker 1: and everything that went into that situation that. Did you
7:31
Speaker 1: look back at that again? Would you have done it
7:33
Speaker 1: the same way twice? I think we've made a different
7:35
Speaker 1: play call. I think those are when you're facing a
7:39
Speaker 1: team that, as a Joe Burrow, you want to get points.
7:42
Speaker 1: It was very tight in there, and our offensive lie
7:44
Speaker 1: was blocking him. James Robinson was rushing hard, and we
7:48
Speaker 1: had a we're gonna run a little flick play because
7:50
Speaker 1: we felt they would be overloaded in the a gappy
7:53
Speaker 1: up inside and uh the defense Evan came up field
7:56
Speaker 1: and and Trevor kept the ball. So, uh, yeah, there's
8:01
Speaker 1: a lot of UH. When I heard it come over
8:03
Speaker 1: the headset um, there was part of me, but I
8:06
Speaker 1: know that it's well thought out. We just need to
8:09
Speaker 1: execute better. Irvan, I totally understand the call there were
8:13
Speaker 1: You're trying to get the ball in one of your
8:15
Speaker 1: best player's hands, which is Trevor Lawrence, and James Robinson
8:18
Speaker 1: was certainly an option on that play. But Trevor. I
8:20
Speaker 1: thought there was a distinct change in the way that
8:22
Speaker 1: some of the play calls that you had on offense
8:24
Speaker 1: that Trevor became a viable running threat of the scoring
8:27
Speaker 1: drive that he had a seven yard touchdown run he
8:29
Speaker 1: converted to third and ones. Is that something that going
8:32
Speaker 1: forward you're like, Hey, we like this and we want
8:34
Speaker 1: to keep this in our plan. Yeah. The vision I had,
8:37
Speaker 1: uh from day one, is gonna be the complimentary offense
8:40
Speaker 1: between a multiple tight end, set downhill run game which matches.
8:43
Speaker 1: That's why you went out and got uh Man Hurts
8:47
Speaker 1: is a tight end and Luke Farrell we want to
8:49
Speaker 1: be able to move the line of scammage. We have
8:51
Speaker 1: a powerful running back and James Robinson. We complimented him
8:54
Speaker 1: with Carl Aside. The research that I've done, and it's
8:57
Speaker 1: really it's research and obvious is how do you help
9:00
Speaker 1: a young quarterback have balance and be able to run
9:03
Speaker 1: the ball. But then also Trevor, for you know, including
9:07
Speaker 1: grade school, high school, and college, has been a shotgun quarterback.
9:11
Speaker 1: He's used to being back there sat seeing the defense,
9:14
Speaker 1: not turning his back to the defense, and also being
9:17
Speaker 1: involved in the run game and whether it be a
9:18
Speaker 1: r PO, which he had a couple of beautiful one
9:20
Speaker 1: Saturday or Sunday. So yeah, that was a decision we
9:24
Speaker 1: all made that we got as a a little more
9:26
Speaker 1: creativity and also utilize one of the best players on
9:29
Speaker 1: the field, Trevor Lawrence and one of the players that
9:33
Speaker 1: you look you lize in the ball game. I was
9:35
Speaker 1: asked before the game, what kind of role of Dan
9:36
Speaker 1: Hardland might you expect from him? And I was like, well,
9:39
Speaker 1: you only had the guy for a couple of days.
9:41
Speaker 1: I can't imagine a whole lot, but from what we
9:43
Speaker 1: saw in the ball game, the tight end that you
9:45
Speaker 1: added in the C. J. Henderson trade came out of
9:48
Speaker 1: the gate and proved his worth. I thought in the
9:50
Speaker 1: first game. Yeah, I told you, Jeff earlier that that
9:53
Speaker 1: there was a guy that we I did in the
9:55
Speaker 1: in the UH free agent market. It couldn't work out
10:00
Speaker 1: because of the financial pieces of it, and but all
10:03
Speaker 1: of us and I really love the guy. I think
10:06
Speaker 1: he's you hear what kind of he was on leadership
10:08
Speaker 1: group and is the team he was on. He did
10:11
Speaker 1: homework and talked to former players who have played with him,
10:14
Speaker 1: and then you look at his skill set. He's a
10:16
Speaker 1: hurdler coming out of college. He's got good, great ball
10:18
Speaker 1: skills and once you get to know him like we
10:21
Speaker 1: do now, he's outstanding. I am so excited and so
10:23
Speaker 1: is Trevor about his future. I mean, we had him
10:25
Speaker 1: for three days and he he plays and plays well
10:28
Speaker 1: and you can see the differentiation of you know, when
10:32
Speaker 1: that balls in his hands, he made it, you know,
10:34
Speaker 1: made a great move and got an extended UH yardage
10:37
Speaker 1: and then another one he outran an angle by a backer,
10:39
Speaker 1: and so we're anxious to continue to uh involve him Irban.
10:45
Speaker 1: You mentioned earlier the the injuries that happened on offense
10:48
Speaker 1: in the game. A j Can sounds like he's down
10:50
Speaker 1: for a little bit. DJ Chark with the fractured ankle.
10:53
Speaker 1: But in the game you had a few other guys
10:55
Speaker 1: in the passing game step up. Ja Jamal Agnew was
10:58
Speaker 1: involved in the offense a little bit or I think
11:00
Speaker 1: that he had been in the past, and guys like
11:02
Speaker 1: that kind of stepped in there and made some plays
11:04
Speaker 1: at wide receiver, and that's a spot now where you're
11:07
Speaker 1: gonna have to have some guys step us up, especially
11:09
Speaker 1: on the outside. Right acts as an interesting character. He
11:13
Speaker 1: was only came from a small school as a corner
11:15
Speaker 1: and a returner, and then BEV got him at Detroit
11:18
Speaker 1: and they you started teaching him and receiver playing. And
11:22
Speaker 1: obviously he's as good a guy as you over meat worker,
11:24
Speaker 1: grinder and h but he's got receiver skill. We saw
11:28
Speaker 1: that he's much better now than he was in the spring. Uh.
11:31
Speaker 1: He's going to be a part of the rotation even
11:33
Speaker 1: more so now you know he's dynamic. He saw that
11:36
Speaker 1: on a two plus yard kickoff returns. He saw that
11:39
Speaker 1: on a speed sweep and he saw it an incredible
11:40
Speaker 1: sideline catch in the game, So very pleased with him.
11:44
Speaker 1: That sideline catch was for twenty seven yards and an
11:48
Speaker 1: impressive job by him getting his feet in bound right
11:50
Speaker 1: there at the end. But I thought the throw by
11:53
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence was outstanding on that play. He had pressure
11:56
Speaker 1: in his face and he stands in he makes a
11:58
Speaker 1: great throw. And overall his ability to protect the football
12:01
Speaker 1: this past game, well certainly a big step forward. Yeah,
12:05
Speaker 1: huge step And and my man worked so hard at it. Uh,
12:08
Speaker 1: Schottenheimer and him worked together so hard. It's fun to watch.
12:12
Speaker 1: It's one it's uh great to see his development and
12:14
Speaker 1: comfort with the players around him. And it's a new system,
12:18
Speaker 1: a bunch of new personnel. And you know, we should
12:21
Speaker 1: have won that game. And Trevor played lights out. In
12:24
Speaker 1: my mind, he played lights out. He was very involved
12:26
Speaker 1: in the run game, scored a touchdown, got another critical
12:28
Speaker 1: first down. You can see he's protecting himself to not
12:31
Speaker 1: put himself in harm's way. Yet you know, moving the
12:35
Speaker 1: moving the chains and his accuracy was really good. But
12:38
Speaker 1: the best thing, uh, and most important thing he's took
12:41
Speaker 1: care of the football. You led that big second half
12:43
Speaker 1: scoring drive too, when they had tied the game fourteen all,
12:45
Speaker 1: and they go right down the field and you guys
12:47
Speaker 1: get ahead by a touchdown there on the defensive side
12:50
Speaker 1: of the football. Coach, Yeah, the second half didn't get
12:52
Speaker 1: off the field. We talked about this earlier as well,
12:54
Speaker 1: and then in the in the post game after, you know,
12:59
Speaker 1: they kind of which some things up. It felt like
13:01
Speaker 1: on offense in the second half. What changed for Cincinnati
13:04
Speaker 1: and Joe Burrow in the offense, Well, first half we
13:07
Speaker 1: held him eighteen yards rushing, uh, a hundred yards passing
13:10
Speaker 1: and thirty was on the first play. Everything was kept
13:13
Speaker 1: in front of us. Uh. And it's the second time
13:17
Speaker 1: now in the second half they come down and score,
13:19
Speaker 1: you know, and I believe that happened against Cardinals, and
13:22
Speaker 1: it happened this week. And they had a big played
13:24
Speaker 1: down the sideline and then a couple of plays later
13:28
Speaker 1: and when you really evaluated, there's there's some critical errors
13:30
Speaker 1: that took place. And then since Nanni made a decision
13:34
Speaker 1: to do a couple of one one back three tight
13:37
Speaker 1: ends and got a little bit of a run game
13:38
Speaker 1: going for one drive, but the rest of the game
13:41
Speaker 1: was shotgun empty and try and isolate matchup issues for us,
13:45
Speaker 1: and they did a good job. Yeah, Joe mixing in
13:48
Speaker 1: the first half verb and I think he had five
13:50
Speaker 1: carries for about fourteen yards. Second half was a totally
13:52
Speaker 1: different story. And then all of a sudden they get
13:54
Speaker 1: the running game going and then the explosive plays happened.
13:58
Speaker 1: How do you do a better job defensively at preventing
14:02
Speaker 1: the explosive plays and affecting the quarterback more going forward? Well,
14:07
Speaker 1: the great question. And there's two things that we've identified,
14:10
Speaker 1: and that's to uh, you know, show the same shell
14:14
Speaker 1: of coverage, uh, you know, to to not be clear
14:19
Speaker 1: what our coverage is. And the second is do a
14:22
Speaker 1: great job of mixing man and zone, you know where
14:25
Speaker 1: when you get caught in man coverage and they like
14:27
Speaker 1: the matchup, that's that's hard to do. If they can
14:30
Speaker 1: identify it's always zone when it is zonn, then they
14:33
Speaker 1: can find holes in you zone. So the best defenses
14:36
Speaker 1: are the ones that make it look the same, uh,
14:39
Speaker 1: make it play closely the same, but their man and zone.
14:43
Speaker 1: All right, Urban we are on the Tennessee right after this.
14:46
Speaker 1: It's the Urban Meyers Show on Jaguars Radio. Welcome Back
15:03
Speaker 1: the Urban Meyers Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network.
15:07
Speaker 1: Welcome Back to Urban Meyers Show rolls along on this
15:10
Speaker 1: Tuesday afternoon. J P. Shadrick, Jeff Logoman, and Jaguar's head
15:13
Speaker 1: coach Urban Meyer. It is Onto, Tennessee and a familiar
15:18
Speaker 1: face on the other sideline against you and Mike Vrabel.
15:22
Speaker 1: Take us through your best Mike Vrabel days back in
15:25
Speaker 1: the old days. I first met Mike when he played.
15:27
Speaker 1: These were from northeast Ohio, both of us, and he
15:31
Speaker 1: was obviously a great player. And and I would was
15:34
Speaker 1: invited by Coach Belichick to visit the Patriots a couple
15:37
Speaker 1: of times. That was my first really sitting down and
15:39
Speaker 1: get to uh Mike Vrabel and obviously the way he
15:43
Speaker 1: worked him, Bruce Ki and Tom Brady, that whole group
15:46
Speaker 1: was phenomenal. The leadership, the way they led the locker
15:50
Speaker 1: room was and obviously the great players. And then when
15:53
Speaker 1: I get hired at Ohio State, I kept Luke Fickle
15:56
Speaker 1: as our defenseive coordinator, who, by the ways, doing it
15:59
Speaker 1: great at Cincinnati, and he asked me to keep Mike
16:01
Speaker 1: Rabel and Mike Rabel only coached one year. I asked, Uh,
16:06
Speaker 1: you know, I interviewed him and you could tell he
16:08
Speaker 1: was different. You could tell that you know, he was
16:11
Speaker 1: a great player. But he was a great player because
16:13
Speaker 1: he understood the game so well and he understood the
16:16
Speaker 1: work ethic necessity, the necessity of work ethic to be great.
16:20
Speaker 1: And uh, I fell in love with the guy. He's
16:22
Speaker 1: awesome man. He's a great person. He's got a great family.
16:26
Speaker 1: It was harder work as coaches I've ever had. And
16:28
Speaker 1: he really understands people, and he really understands, obviously football well,
16:33
Speaker 1: and he understands that He's got a great back in
16:35
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, who is a local product. And Derrick Henry
16:38
Speaker 1: is gonna be obviously the biggest challenge for your football
16:40
Speaker 1: team this week. A guy that's six three to fifty
16:43
Speaker 1: pushes defensive backs around like they're nothing, and he's got
16:46
Speaker 1: game breaking speed, which is amazing for a big man. Yeah,
16:49
Speaker 1: I've I've coached against Derrick Henry in college one time
16:52
Speaker 1: when we played Alabama and he had a big run
16:55
Speaker 1: on us and and you got to stop him. You know,
16:57
Speaker 1: it's I'm saying the obvious at a big cat like
17:01
Speaker 1: that that's that fast and they run the stretch as
17:04
Speaker 1: well as anybody. And Derek would be I'm sure be
17:06
Speaker 1: the first one to tell you they got a really
17:07
Speaker 1: good offensive line that blocks really well for him. So
17:11
Speaker 1: you just gotta you know, we've been that's one of
17:14
Speaker 1: our strengths is against the rush. But this is gonna
17:17
Speaker 1: be a challenge of challenges. That's one of those where
17:19
Speaker 1: I think Fred Taylor has told me in the past
17:21
Speaker 1: before his at least idea of how do you slow
17:23
Speaker 1: down Henry is get in the backfield early and get
17:26
Speaker 1: your shots in on him, because once he gets that
17:28
Speaker 1: head of steam and gets outside against the little guys,
17:31
Speaker 1: that's trouble. Yeah, a little easier said than done. You know,
17:33
Speaker 1: that's the offensive lines, jop not to let you get
17:36
Speaker 1: in the backfield. But yeah, that's that's when you see him.
17:40
Speaker 1: The Cardinals, I'll tell you what the Phoenix Cardinals uh
17:43
Speaker 1: defenses was outstanding. One of the best defensive performances I've
17:47
Speaker 1: ever seen against Tennessee early in the season, and they
17:51
Speaker 1: did you know, basically that's what happened that they didn't
17:53
Speaker 1: get let him get a running start at you and Ryan,
17:56
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill not only has a big back, but he's
17:58
Speaker 1: got some big wide receiver. Is a j Brown, Julio Jones. Uh,
18:02
Speaker 1: this is a challenge for your defense in more ways
18:05
Speaker 1: than one. And it's not not just about Derrick Henry. Yeah,
18:08
Speaker 1: two of them didn't play last week in the loss
18:11
Speaker 1: to the Jets, and they're they're you know, I've coached
18:13
Speaker 1: against Julio Jones many times to when he was at
18:15
Speaker 1: Alabama and uh, tremendous player obviously in great size, strength,
18:21
Speaker 1: and Brown is you know, they brought him in and
18:23
Speaker 1: he's just that's a really good team. You know they
18:27
Speaker 1: put together in all areas, a really good team. Will
18:30
Speaker 1: you remember the most about Julio and Alabama? There's some
18:32
Speaker 1: big games obviously in those days, huge games, Uh to
18:37
Speaker 1: two championship games and I had Joe Hayden and Genor's
18:40
Speaker 1: Jenkins were my corners, and uh, you know we beat
18:44
Speaker 1: him in OH eight and they beat us at OH nine.
18:46
Speaker 1: And I just remember the first time he walked on
18:48
Speaker 1: the field. I actually uh sat in his house. Recruited him.
18:52
Speaker 1: Man a good guy, but I could tell he's kind
18:54
Speaker 1: of headed Alabama. But you just how how just sheer
18:59
Speaker 1: size and speak, you know, he's a specimen defensively for
19:03
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. Mike Rabel is a defensive minded coach.
19:06
Speaker 1: And uh, do you does that give you maybe a
19:08
Speaker 1: little bit of a no how on his defensive scheme?
19:10
Speaker 1: And what's their personnel like? Yeah, the personnel inside that
19:13
Speaker 1: they're the big guy inside. His name's slipping me right now.
19:16
Speaker 1: But he's tremendous player. Is probably the best player on defense.
19:19
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Simmons. Yeah, Simmons, tremendous player, really good safety, just
19:25
Speaker 1: good across the board. But he's very disruptive, very great,
19:29
Speaker 1: good pass rusher. He's big. But no, Mike has changed,
19:32
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, that's one thing that Mike is good at.
19:35
Speaker 1: He's gonna adapt his scheme to personnel. Uh, and he
19:39
Speaker 1: has you can see that over the years. Urban this
19:42
Speaker 1: week obviously, it's it's different and there's a lot of
19:45
Speaker 1: things going on. The most important thing for you and
19:48
Speaker 1: your team this week is what the most important thing
19:52
Speaker 1: is to contain the big back. You know, that's enforced
19:56
Speaker 1: you know, Tanny Hill. The thing that hurt us last
19:59
Speaker 1: week a couple of the bootlegs off of the runs.
20:01
Speaker 1: And they're very good at it. But when I see teams,
20:05
Speaker 1: UH slow down the Titans. It's because it's everything we
20:09
Speaker 1: just said. You're you're eliminating the big hits. He's gonna
20:13
Speaker 1: get his yard. You know, he had a hundred fifty
20:15
Speaker 1: yards last week against the Jets. Uh, he's gonna get
20:18
Speaker 1: his yards. But you can't just because they run them
20:20
Speaker 1: thirty five times. But you can't have the hits. And
20:23
Speaker 1: then certainly you can't, you know, have the guys running
20:26
Speaker 1: wide open and a bootleg, which when they're playing, well,
20:28
Speaker 1: that's what happens. I've heard so many different coaches through
20:31
Speaker 1: the years use this term on Derrick Henry. It's called
20:34
Speaker 1: populate them. Population That means you get a lot of
20:39
Speaker 1: guys out there. Coach, appreciate your time. Let's snap the
20:43
Speaker 1: skid this week and get on track against the Titans.
20:45
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Thank you, Head coach Urban Meyer joining us,
20:48
Speaker 1: we are back plenty more ahead on the Urban Meyer
20:51
Speaker 1: Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome Back. The Urban
20:56
Speaker 1: Meyer Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back,
21:00
Speaker 1: It's the Urban Meyers Show. J P. Shadrick with Jeff Logerman.
21:04
Speaker 1: Our thanks to head coach Urban Meyer for jumping in
21:06
Speaker 1: today a lot to get to hear logs after the
21:10
Speaker 1: head coach joined us here on this Tuesday afternoon. Heading
21:13
Speaker 1: into week five, the Jaguars are trying to look ahead
21:15
Speaker 1: to the Tennessee Titans. But considering everything that's happened the
21:18
Speaker 1: last three four days, especially today with the owner's statement
21:23
Speaker 1: and all that came out today, well, there's a lot
21:26
Speaker 1: of distraction going on. How can this team move ahead?
21:29
Speaker 1: And that's Urban's It's gotta be Urban's number one goal
21:32
Speaker 1: is to get this team back first of all, and
21:34
Speaker 1: get them on track for Tennessee. I think it's gonna
21:36
Speaker 1: be a challenge because if you kind of look at
21:41
Speaker 1: how the sequence of events happened, there's uh somewhat of
21:46
Speaker 1: a question about you know, the press conference yesterday and
21:50
Speaker 1: then you know things come out after that, and how
21:53
Speaker 1: that's perceived by the locker room and today typically as
21:57
Speaker 1: a player's day off, so you're not addressing that with
21:59
Speaker 1: the airs and and so at some point, I think
22:03
Speaker 1: the best thing that he could do, in my opinion,
22:07
Speaker 1: he's got to get in and I don't know if
22:08
Speaker 1: he's done this yet or not, but as the head coach,
22:11
Speaker 1: you have to get in front of your team. When
22:14
Speaker 1: I say your team, I'm talking all of your players
22:17
Speaker 1: and all of your coaches, and you've got to own it.
22:19
Speaker 1: I mean to use the term that he's used many
22:22
Speaker 1: times before. I mean that term is around because it's
22:25
Speaker 1: got validity, and if you don't own it, then I
22:28
Speaker 1: think you lose credibility and respect. If you own it,
22:31
Speaker 1: at least you have a chance of gaining that back.
22:35
Speaker 1: And we saw today what ownership thought of the sequence
22:38
Speaker 1: of events after yesterday's pressure, so with the statement and
22:42
Speaker 1: everything today, so um, there you have it. That's that's
22:45
Speaker 1: the latest and greatest. And Irby Meyer is scheduled to
22:47
Speaker 1: speak with the media tomorrow and his normal Wednesday slot
22:51
Speaker 1: before practice, so we'll likely hear from Urban again. Then.
22:55
Speaker 1: The one thing that I think is very different than
22:57
Speaker 1: maybe what he's accustomed to as well, that you're dealing
23:01
Speaker 1: with grown men. I mean, seriously, that's that's give an example,
23:05
Speaker 1: you know, when I first came into the league. I mean,
23:07
Speaker 1: there's a guy. I had two guys on my football team.
23:10
Speaker 1: One of im was was Dan Alexander. The other one
23:13
Speaker 1: was Pat Leahy. Pat Leahy was a kicker that was
23:15
Speaker 1: I don't remember exactly how old he was at the time.
23:17
Speaker 1: He was probably in his forties. And Dan Alexander was
23:21
Speaker 1: a guard that had been playing for about sixteen seventeen
23:23
Speaker 1: years in the National Football League. Now that Jaguars don't
23:25
Speaker 1: have guys on the on the roster that are that
23:28
Speaker 1: are like that, but I mean there's there's guys that
23:30
Speaker 1: have wives and kids and families and and uh are
23:34
Speaker 1: trying to make a living and so uh it's it's
23:39
Speaker 1: not like you can be the the the Imperial Communist
23:45
Speaker 1: leader or anything like that and you can force fed,
23:47
Speaker 1: force feed you know, things are ideas to people. I mean,
23:50
Speaker 1: you've you've got to earn respect. I mean these guys,
23:53
Speaker 1: you know, that's just just the way it works in
23:55
Speaker 1: the National Football League. So that's gonna be a challenge.
23:58
Speaker 1: And I think Sean Khan state was very accurate and
24:01
Speaker 1: that things have to be earned back. So one final
24:06
Speaker 1: look we also had with Urban on the Cincinnati game.
24:09
Speaker 1: It's been a little while ago in more ways than one,
24:11
Speaker 1: but on Thursday night, the Jaguars blew a fourteen point
24:14
Speaker 1: lead another second half collapse by the Jags defense couldn't
24:19
Speaker 1: get off the field at all Thursday night and they
24:21
Speaker 1: kind of schemed them up a little bit in the
24:23
Speaker 1: second half and exploited some matchup situations and the Jags
24:28
Speaker 1: defense just couldn't find their way in the second half
24:29
Speaker 1: of that game. Again, well, it's it's difficult because you
24:35
Speaker 1: play so well and in the last two games in
24:39
Speaker 1: the first half, I mean, lights out, and then you
24:42
Speaker 1: have opportunities at the end of each half if you
24:44
Speaker 1: don't capitalize on and then in the second half it
24:48
Speaker 1: literally the opponent comes out and it kind of steam
24:50
Speaker 1: rolls you. And so you've got to find a way.
24:53
Speaker 1: If there are adjustments to be made in the second half,
24:57
Speaker 1: are you not making them and as the opponent making
25:00
Speaker 1: them or is it just a matter of execution, Because
25:04
Speaker 1: a lot of people always say, okay, the tail of
25:05
Speaker 1: two halves, it must mean that one team is not
25:07
Speaker 1: making the proper halftime adjustments and maybe the other team
25:11
Speaker 1: is and and sometimes that's not always the case. It's
25:14
Speaker 1: just a matter of execution. So they've got to execute better,
25:18
Speaker 1: certainly in the second half. And if there are adjustments
25:20
Speaker 1: to be made, that they need to make them, because
25:22
Speaker 1: defensively they're they're not playing well in the second half.
25:24
Speaker 1: I don't know what the yards allowed is in the
25:26
Speaker 1: second half. I'd like to see that number. I don't
25:28
Speaker 1: know if you'd like to see that number or not.
25:30
Speaker 1: Maybe not, maybe not. There's probably not a pretty one
25:33
Speaker 1: right now. But hey, it's early. It's week five coming up,
25:36
Speaker 1: you know, and your thought about that halftime adjustments and
25:38
Speaker 1: all that a couple of weeks ago. I think the
25:40
Speaker 1: Manning's talked about that on Monday Night Football during the
25:43
Speaker 1: Manning cast of how overrated that term that was last
25:47
Speaker 1: week because they were all off last night, but earlier,
25:51
Speaker 1: how overrated that term is because it's a twelve minute halftime.
25:55
Speaker 1: The coaches are coming down an elevator, running across the
25:57
Speaker 1: field into the locker room. You're in there, it's four minutes,
26:00
Speaker 1: and then you turn around and going back on the
26:02
Speaker 1: field again. And so it's more because it's it's more
26:06
Speaker 1: of the execution thing, and there are there's a little
26:09
Speaker 1: bit more time and at halftime than there is typically
26:12
Speaker 1: throughout the course of the game. But adjustments are made
26:14
Speaker 1: throughout the game. You know, what coaches, coaches have and
26:18
Speaker 1: the availability of the video or the still shots or
26:21
Speaker 1: whatever to evaluate exactly what an opponent is doing and
26:24
Speaker 1: maybe how you can react to that to make your
26:26
Speaker 1: performance better. That's happening throughout the course of the game,
26:30
Speaker 1: So it's not necessarily just you only make adjustments at
26:32
Speaker 1: halftime and that's it. I mean, you make adjustments throughout
26:35
Speaker 1: the game. And and and is this team making making
26:38
Speaker 1: excuse me, the adjustments that they need to be making
26:41
Speaker 1: throughout the course of the game. Flitting ahead, We'll come
26:44
Speaker 1: back and try to slow down Derrick Henry Lugs. How
26:48
Speaker 1: we're gonna do that, Well, we'll find out in just
26:50
Speaker 1: a few moments. He's a great back. Uh yeah, if
26:55
Speaker 1: if you could, if you could take one back in
26:58
Speaker 1: the National Football League right now for your team? Is
27:02
Speaker 1: he your guy? Hard to say no to that? We'll
27:07
Speaker 1: see if we can stop. This is the Urban Meyer

Speaker 1: know when they came out I didn't really follow their
28:20
Speaker 1: career too much. I was like you, I don't know.
28:21
Speaker 1: I was trying to. I'm still trying to figure out

28:44
Speaker 1: I wonder if he's going to be in full makeup garb.
28:47
Speaker 1: Both of them might be you can't like walk out.
28:50
Speaker 1: You know, remember the album cover A Kiss that didn't
28:53
Speaker 1: have makeup. It was like the scariest album ever, Like
28:55
Speaker 1: put it back on, guys, what are you doing? Cooper
28:59
Speaker 1: al s Cooper had better makeup though, Yeah, he's got
29:02
Speaker 1: better props on stage and everything snakes and Kiss is
29:06
Speaker 1: still one of the greatest ever. I mean, the whole
29:08
Speaker 1: makeup thing, it was amazing. So you can see that
29:11
Speaker 1: I have it in person. Did you ever see Kiss live?
29:13
Speaker 1: I know I never did either. That's one of my
29:15
Speaker 1: great They went back on tour What the Midnight They
29:17
Speaker 1: a bunch obviously, but in the mid nineties that made
29:20
Speaker 1: that big comeback tour. I saw just we're way off
29:24
Speaker 1: of football here. But sometimes after you know you're dealing
29:27
Speaker 1: with some of the things we've been dealing with today,
29:28
Speaker 1: sometimes to get off the subject is a little good. Yeah.
29:31
Speaker 1: I guess, like Dave said in my ear just now,
29:33
Speaker 1: if whenever Gene needs money, Kiss goes on tour, yeah,
29:36
Speaker 1: it's probably true. And I think I actually had the
29:41
Speaker 1: opportunity to go see some of those old rock bands
29:44
Speaker 1: back in the day because I grew up in Northern Virginia.
29:47
Speaker 1: We had back then. It was called the Capital Center.
29:49
Speaker 1: The Capital Center was where the Washington Bullets and then
29:52
Speaker 1: the Washington Capitals played and they had frequent concerts there
29:56
Speaker 1: and and I never went to see a Kiss concert,
29:58
Speaker 1: and I wish I had. I did see Aerosmith when
30:03
Speaker 1: they had the Toys in the Attic album when they
30:05
Speaker 1: were on tour supporting that album. That was in the
30:09
Speaker 1: in the early early mid seventies. It's a big one.
30:12
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, that was a big one as a kid
30:14
Speaker 1: going to Aerosmith. That was different. My first concert. I
30:18
Speaker 1: know we're way off topic here for those listening to
30:22
Speaker 1: but we need a little rest it. Uh. My first
30:25
Speaker 1: one was zz Top with the Birmingham Jefferson Civic Center.
30:29
Speaker 1: They were on the antenna tour. Jackal was the opening band.
30:33
Speaker 1: Really yes, they did the Lumberjack song and Chain saw
30:36
Speaker 1: a stool on stage and threw it in the crowd.
30:39
Speaker 1: And then as easy Top came up the last question,
30:41
Speaker 1: then we're gonna get back to football. The greatest concert
30:43
Speaker 1: you ever saw, the coolest concert you ever saw. That's tough.
30:46
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of Tedesky trucks over the last
30:48
Speaker 1: few years. Cantastic, it's tough. That's a different one. The
30:54
Speaker 1: one that really sticks in my head from about that
30:57
Speaker 1: same time frame nineties six probably was Age against the
31:00
Speaker 1: Machine Evil Empire Tourlst Furnace, Birmingham. They played all two
31:05
Speaker 1: of their albums at the time, all of them. They
31:07
Speaker 1: played every song. It was incredible good. I'll never forget
31:10
Speaker 1: that noise in my life. Guns and Roses, Madison Square Garden.
31:13
Speaker 1: Oh you win, it's pretty cool. Let's get back to football.
31:17
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry can bring the thunder. And how do you
31:21
Speaker 1: begin to slow this big horse down. We've seen it,
31:25
Speaker 1: you know, he's gotten loose a bunch of this team
31:27
Speaker 1: over the years. He's great back and he can do
31:30
Speaker 1: anything that he wants to do from a from a
31:32
Speaker 1: performance standpoint, because he runs with power, he runs with speed,
31:36
Speaker 1: he's got great balance, he has uh when he gets
31:40
Speaker 1: his going, that's when he gets real dangerous because he's
31:43
Speaker 1: just so big and powerful and he makes people look
31:46
Speaker 1: real small. You've got great stiff on the arguably the
31:48
Speaker 1: best stiff arm in NFL history. I mean, I I
31:53
Speaker 1: can't think, I mean, since guys flying with it, I
31:56
Speaker 1: can't think of a better stiff arm by anybody. I mean,
32:01
Speaker 1: Hall of Famers I mean, Emmett Smith had a pretty
32:04
Speaker 1: good stiff arm, but it wasn't like this. I mean
32:06
Speaker 1: this is this is physical and he's probably got a
32:09
Speaker 1: sleeve length of about thirty six thirty seven inches and
32:13
Speaker 1: so he just keeps guys at bay with that stiff arm.
32:16
Speaker 1: So he's great back and you populate him. He tried
32:18
Speaker 1: to get as many people to him as you can.
32:21
Speaker 1: And if you can stop him from getting rolling downhill,
32:24
Speaker 1: that will help you out because once he once he
32:26
Speaker 1: gets rolling, he's dominant. Yeah, I mean, you gotta penetrate
32:30
Speaker 1: in the long Was it a ninety nine yard run
32:35
Speaker 1: that he had in Tennessee that he just literally threw
32:38
Speaker 1: a j boy aside stiff arm Miles Jack. I mean,
32:42
Speaker 1: it was a run that was just on Jacobs was liridiculous,
32:47
Speaker 1: And I know that's a it's a bad play for
32:49
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, but that's one of the I mean, that's
32:51
Speaker 1: like beast mode going off. And what game was that?
32:54
Speaker 1: The vikings that he was going crazy where he's just
32:57
Speaker 1: running over people and kept going and going and going,
32:59
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh my gosh, yeah, that was that
33:03
Speaker 1: was not the finest Jaguars defensive moment, I'll say that.
33:06
Speaker 1: Then he had what the next year, seventy five yarder
33:08
Speaker 1: right against this team. I mean he's done back to back.
33:10
Speaker 1: Here is where he's had had his way. But team,
33:15
Speaker 1: like the offensive line is not the same. Though. Let
33:17
Speaker 1: me say that Taylor one's nicked up a little bit
33:19
Speaker 1: right and he was well in and out of the game.
33:20
Speaker 1: Last if you go back a couple of years ago
33:22
Speaker 1: when they had Taylor Lawan and then the right tackle
33:25
Speaker 1: that's now in Cleveland, Um Conklin, Jack Conklin, Yes, thank you.
33:32
Speaker 1: I mean that was a really good offensive line, really
33:35
Speaker 1: good offensive line for Tennessee. And and the offensive line
33:39
Speaker 1: is not the same. Derk Henry's number is still are
33:41
Speaker 1: really good. They're not as good at protecting the quarterback.
33:44
Speaker 1: I think have been sacked like seventeen times. And part
33:47
Speaker 1: of that is that you go back to Chandler Jones
33:49
Speaker 1: had five against Taylor Lawan. I think one because he
33:53
Speaker 1: and then r exactly and then Taylor one goes out
33:55
Speaker 1: and I think he put in ty Sambrello and he
33:58
Speaker 1: gets absolutely abused. And so they've had some issues along
34:01
Speaker 1: the offensive line. And I can tell you that Cousin
34:04
Speaker 1: Berry the right tackle is certainly not anywhere in the
34:08
Speaker 1: same stratosphere as Jack Conklin, so uh that that is
34:13
Speaker 1: not what it used to be. So I think you
34:14
Speaker 1: gotta be able to try to um went up front
34:17
Speaker 1: certainly is always the goal, and this week I think
34:21
Speaker 1: it's more important than ever better slow him down down.
34:28
Speaker 1: The only guy that I would probably compare him to
34:30
Speaker 1: JP and great running backs in the past, you know,
34:34
Speaker 1: Eddie George kind of comes to mind. It was obviously
34:36
Speaker 1: another Tennessee Titan because of the size. Eddie George had
34:39
Speaker 1: that length and size, But but Eddie didn't run with
34:42
Speaker 1: the power that he had. Eric Dickerson is somebody that
34:47
Speaker 1: I would And you know, most people when they think
34:49
Speaker 1: of Eric Dickerson, they don't think of big and powerful.
34:51
Speaker 1: They think of grace and speed. But Eric Dickerson had
34:57
Speaker 1: an amazing grace with power that was similar to Emmett Smith.
35:02
Speaker 1: And when Emmett ran, when you hit him, you were like,
35:05
Speaker 1: holy cow. If a guy weighs any what what did
35:08
Speaker 1: he weigh to fifteen? Eric Dickerson's six three to twenty
35:12
Speaker 1: Dickerson six to twenty. Okay, but what I'm talking about,
35:17
Speaker 1: but these guys, both of them Emmett and Eric Dickerson.
35:20
Speaker 1: When they ran, they carried a wallop without carrying a
35:25
Speaker 1: lot of weight. But here's the guy that carries wallop
35:27
Speaker 1: and he carries weight, Derrick Kennry, because he's legit to
35:30
Speaker 1: fifty Emmett five nine to. That's what I figured about
35:34
Speaker 1: two fifteen. But powerful, powerful and could avoid contact to
35:38
Speaker 1: just like enough like kind of James Robinson does. That
35:41
Speaker 1: doesn't what I said last year when somebody tried to say,
35:44
Speaker 1: ask me, you know, how how would you describe James
35:46
Speaker 1: Robinson as a runner. And my first thing was he
35:50
Speaker 1: reminds me of Emmett. And I know a lot of
35:52
Speaker 1: people will overreact to that. How can you say that
35:55
Speaker 1: he's compared to Emmett. I'm not saying that because they're
35:59
Speaker 1: on the same level, because obviously him it's the all
36:01
Speaker 1: time leading rusher. What I'm saying the style in which
36:04
Speaker 1: they run. They're very simmer and I think Eric Dickerson
36:07
Speaker 1: is very simmer and a lot of ways to Derrick Henry.
36:10
Speaker 1: Let's come back. We'll get to this Jaguars offense and
36:14
Speaker 1: see if they can have some more big boy drives
36:16
Speaker 1: like they did in the second half when they answered
36:20
Speaker 1: and went down the field and regained the lead after
36:22
Speaker 1: losing it. I thought that was a big moment in
36:23
Speaker 1: the game. Last it was a great drive that uh
36:26
Speaker 1: where you had a little help one and fourth and two.
36:29
Speaker 1: We will talk about that. This is the Urban Meyer
36:32
Speaker 1: Show and the Jaguars Radio Network. Wow, Welcome back. The
36:39
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome
36:45
Speaker 1: back to the Urban Meyers Show rolls along, JP, Shadrick,
36:47
Speaker 1: Jeff Logerman, head go Jerban Meyer joins us in the
36:50
Speaker 1: first half hour five o'clock each and every Tuesday, including today.
36:54
Speaker 1: He was with us and gave his thoughts on the
36:56
Speaker 1: shod con statement from earlier today. And now it's onto Tennessee.
37:01
Speaker 1: They're trying to move forward and face this Tennessee Titans team.
37:04
Speaker 1: It would be nice to have some offensive performance like
37:07
Speaker 1: they did last week. The quarterback played pretty well. The
37:10
Speaker 1: running game was good early in the game, and while
37:13
Speaker 1: the Jags defense was giving up some scoring drives on
37:16
Speaker 1: the other side in the second half to tie the game.
37:18
Speaker 1: The first two drives made a fourteen fourteen. Well, the
37:21
Speaker 1: Jaguars answered right back the next possession. They go down
37:24
Speaker 1: the field eleven place seventy seven yards in five forty
37:29
Speaker 1: three logs and they get a go ahead touchdown at
37:31
Speaker 1: that point. For me, that was a huge answer for
37:35
Speaker 1: this Jags offense. Trevor Lawrence throwing it around. They pounded
37:38
Speaker 1: in at the end and uh, maybe caught a little
37:41
Speaker 1: bit of a break on the play before the touchdown,
37:43
Speaker 1: but hey, we'll take it. Well. I mean the which
37:45
Speaker 1: you're talking about, there was a defensive hold and I
37:48
Speaker 1: believe that was on Dan Arnold and was it legitimate. Yeah,
37:53
Speaker 1: I think it was a pretty good call, but it
37:55
Speaker 1: certainly was costly to the Bengals because it negated the
37:58
Speaker 1: sack that I think it was Trey Henderson got on
38:01
Speaker 1: that play. Oh uh yeah, fortunately on that drive. But
38:05
Speaker 1: but a great job. I thought overall, you had explosive play,
38:08
Speaker 1: You had the twenty seven yarder, the Jamal Agnew on
38:11
Speaker 1: that drive, and then James Robinson caps it off with
38:14
Speaker 1: with a beautiful run. Got great vision and he's just
38:17
Speaker 1: so decisive in his cuts. And you can actually look
38:20
Speaker 1: on Jaguar's Twitter this week, I'll be taking that play
38:24
Speaker 1: to the Microsoft surface film hole. Let's do it. Yes,
38:28
Speaker 1: love that and then do it. That's then that's the
38:30
Speaker 1: one thing that made Emmett good. And what we're talking
38:33
Speaker 1: about running styles. When James Robinson runs, by the way,
38:38
Speaker 1: he's has a better yards per carry average than Derrick Henry,
38:41
Speaker 1: just throwing that out there. When he runs, he is
38:45
Speaker 1: so decisive. And when you have a back that's decisive,
38:50
Speaker 1: so they're running and then they plant and then they
38:53
Speaker 1: don't waste any time going in the new direction. They
38:57
Speaker 1: have the defenders at a competitive disadvantage because they can't
39:00
Speaker 1: meet him with power anymore. And that's exactly what happened
39:03
Speaker 1: on the touchdown run. He has a First of all,
39:05
Speaker 1: he's got great vision. You gotta have great vision to
39:07
Speaker 1: be able to make great cuts, and then you have
39:09
Speaker 1: to be committed and have the physical ability to make
39:12
Speaker 1: great cuts with speed. One of the greatest backs I've
39:15
Speaker 1: ever seen to change directions with speed was Freeman McNeil,
39:18
Speaker 1: who I played with in New York, and he would
39:21
Speaker 1: be running one direction, playing his foot and he's still
39:25
Speaker 1: going twenty five miles in the other direction. I mean,
39:28
Speaker 1: he was just had a great ability to cut at speed.
39:30
Speaker 1: And James Robinson has that ability. He's got great vision,
39:33
Speaker 1: great speed, and that's where I think and one of
39:37
Speaker 1: the reasons why people are saying when you have a
39:40
Speaker 1: fourth and goal at the one yard line at the
39:42
Speaker 1: end of the first half, people are going, wait a minute,
39:44
Speaker 1: let's give the ball to James Robinson, the guy that
39:46
Speaker 1: never gets tackled for a loss or no gain. And
39:49
Speaker 1: you can see that maybe there's a little bit of
39:51
Speaker 1: something to that statement, but nonetheless, uh, it was a
39:55
Speaker 1: great response. And then the Jaguars defense just couldn't do
39:58
Speaker 1: it anymore because JPF for that. They ended up giving
40:01
Speaker 1: up to template drives and if you think about it,
40:03
Speaker 1: the Jaguars in the second half only had three possessions.
40:07
Speaker 1: Bengals had four. They were on the field for they
40:09
Speaker 1: scored on all four of them, and long drives and
40:11
Speaker 1: the whole things. They were out of gas there at
40:13
Speaker 1: that point, unfortunately. Um so you know, yeah, run and
40:18
Speaker 1: and then the left tackle, the left card in the
40:20
Speaker 1: center or three of the highest paid at their position
40:22
Speaker 1: in football just running over there, right. I mean that
40:25
Speaker 1: you can look back on the hindsight now urban talking
40:29
Speaker 1: what guys get paid. I don't look at it that way.
40:32
Speaker 1: I don't, you know, and I don't and but I
40:34
Speaker 1: mean I understand what you're saying. Is that when you're
40:38
Speaker 1: that kind of money, then you expect the performance and
40:40
Speaker 1: the dependability to follow. And yeah, that's always in a
40:45
Speaker 1: perfect world, but I don't think things are always so perfect.
40:47
Speaker 1: If he scores there, you know it's a genius call.
40:51
Speaker 1: And there we go. We're not talking about I thought.
40:53
Speaker 1: I thought, in my opinion, I thought the offensive line
40:56
Speaker 1: played pretty well and uh and and I think the
41:00
Speaker 1: r back is really making them play better. To five
41:02
Speaker 1: sacks loud on the year. And you can sit there
41:05
Speaker 1: and say, well, you know, that's a great job by
41:08
Speaker 1: the offensive line, I also want to say that's a
41:09
Speaker 1: great job by the quarterback. He's got he's got great
41:12
Speaker 1: pocket awareness. He just has the ability to know when
41:16
Speaker 1: it's time to get rid of the ball. And uh.
41:18
Speaker 1: In his performance obviously needs to continue and improve, but
41:21
Speaker 1: it's good to see that kind of awareness from a
41:24
Speaker 1: young quarterback in the pocket because I believe in that
41:27
Speaker 1: situation you either have it or you don't. You can
41:30
Speaker 1: get better at it slightly, but this guy's got it.
41:34
Speaker 1: He's got great pocket presents. We'll come back our final
41:37
Speaker 1: thoughts ahead of week number five. We haven't got on
41:41
Speaker 1: the practice field yet. This week. It feels like it's
41:43
Speaker 1: been a full week already around here. And this is
41:46
Speaker 1: the Urban Meyers Show on Jaguars Radio. Welcome back. The
42:03
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network. We're
42:07
Speaker 1: back is the Urban Meyer Show. J P. Shadrick with
42:10
Speaker 1: Jaguars analyst Jeff Logerman, head coach. Urban Meyer joins us
42:13
Speaker 1: in the first half hour each and every Tuesday at
42:15
Speaker 1: five o'clock here on the network. Glad you've joined us today.
42:20
Speaker 1: Now it's on the football. The Jaguars will be back
42:22
Speaker 1: on the practice field tomorrow afternoon and start their preparation. Really,
42:28
Speaker 1: they were on the field Monday for a short time
42:30
Speaker 1: and then player's day off Tuesday, today Wednesday, Thursday, and
42:34
Speaker 1: then Friday's usually a lighter day. And here we go
42:38
Speaker 1: the Titans coming here on Sunday and they're in first
42:41
Speaker 1: place there two and two and they just lost to
42:43
Speaker 1: a winless team. The Jets on are gonna be a
42:46
Speaker 1: little salty miss field goal at the end, and um,
42:50
Speaker 1: you know they're there running the ball. Well, we know,
42:53
Speaker 1: we know this team so well and we haven't had success.
42:56
Speaker 1: And I think that's one of the things. I mean you,
42:58
Speaker 1: first of all, you've got a an entirely new staff here.
43:02
Speaker 1: You've had a lot of things kind of going on
43:04
Speaker 1: this week with the distraction with the head coach, and
43:07
Speaker 1: you need to refocus like you don't know them. I mean,
43:09
Speaker 1: if you're a player and you've been here for a
43:10
Speaker 1: while and you've played against the Tennessee Titans, you gotta
43:13
Speaker 1: act like you don't know him and and do a
43:16
Speaker 1: really good job of researching and film study because there's
43:20
Speaker 1: always little nuances that you can pick up even though
43:23
Speaker 1: some of the players are the same. And to your
43:26
Speaker 1: point too, there's a lot of coaches that haven't seen
43:29
Speaker 1: this team at all. I look, I mean staff that
43:33
Speaker 1: have they've never faced the Titans as a staff, so
43:37
Speaker 1: that's there's certainly a lot of work for them to do.
43:39
Speaker 1: But from a player standpoint, you know, for example, and
43:42
Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys and you know that have
43:43
Speaker 1: played against the Tennessee Titans, and and so sometimes when
43:47
Speaker 1: you play somebody and you and you play somebody in
43:49
Speaker 1: the division, sometimes you can assume that you know. But
43:53
Speaker 1: the old three most dangerous words, and we've heard this
43:56
Speaker 1: in the past, right Jaguars coach of past year said this,
44:01
Speaker 1: he's the three most dangerous words in football. I got it,
44:04
Speaker 1: you got it, you got it, you were I got it?
44:08
Speaker 1: Or I got this. Gus Bradley, he was on all
44:11
Speaker 1: over the TV last night Monday Night Football. He got
44:17
Speaker 1: He faced a pretty good quarterback last night who I
44:19
Speaker 1: had in fantasy. And by the way, your fantasy back,
44:21
Speaker 1: I think you had Ekeler last night. Did you have that?
44:24
Speaker 1: I don't remember. I think you did. I think you
44:27
Speaker 1: did pretty well. JP. Well, we'll find out Sunday. I
44:29
Speaker 1: guess on the Public Stilgate Show. Looking forward to it.
44:32
Speaker 1: See if I can go wire to wire in the
44:35
Speaker 1: fantasy this year. Hey, we'll look forward to all your
44:37
Speaker 1: shows this week. You're all over the place. I'm gonna
44:39
Speaker 1: be on a few this week that I'm not only on.
44:41
Speaker 1: We've got a busy week ahead ahead of Titans Week,
44:43
Speaker 1: the Jaguars and the Tennessee Titans Sunday at one o'clock
44:47
Speaker 1: at t I A. Bank Field. Thank you for listening,
44:50
Speaker 1: and it's confirming you did. Thank you. Good to know.
44:54
Speaker 1: It's the Urban Meyers Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. Yeah.
45:01
Speaker 1: Good
