0:37
Speaker 1: ahead to the Houston Texans as well. A lot of
0:40
Speaker 1: noise this week, Urban, the fans and and everybody in
0:43
Speaker 1: the building is just you know, the way things have
0:46
Speaker 1: gone lately. But you know, with a month to go,
0:50
Speaker 1: how do you keep things together and finish the final
0:53
Speaker 1: month as strong as possible in here? Well, the first
0:55
Speaker 1: thing to do eliminate the noise, you know, and all
0:58
Speaker 1: that matters. That's what's inside the building right now. And
1:01
Speaker 1: you know when you when you lose games, lose games
1:04
Speaker 1: creates stress, it creates anxiety, it createses frustration, and you
1:10
Speaker 1: know we're pros players are pros coach or pros. You know,
1:14
Speaker 1: keep your head about you. Let's go. We got four games, man,
1:16
Speaker 1: and we got an opportunity to go go play at
1:19
Speaker 1: home and play the game you love. And you know,
1:21
Speaker 1: there's guys playing for roster sponsors, guys playing for Jacksonville,
1:24
Speaker 1: there's guys playing for their former players. Here there's um
1:27
Speaker 1: So once again, all I can speak to I was
1:30
Speaker 1: talking to Jeff earlier is you can only see what
1:34
Speaker 1: you see. And I saw an offense would really struggle, obviously,
1:38
Speaker 1: and then I saw defense that played with as much
1:41
Speaker 1: energy as they did on day one, and that was
1:45
Speaker 1: you know that we had a bunch of sudden changes.
1:47
Speaker 1: They stopped him, They kept us in the game the
1:49
Speaker 1: entire time. They had four sacks, they had ten hits
1:51
Speaker 1: on the quarterback. Uh, the energy level was over the top.
1:55
Speaker 1: I see special teams where you have guys running over
1:58
Speaker 1: twenty one after uh, two months or three months into
2:01
Speaker 1: the season kickoff and punk Cover was out. We're one
2:05
Speaker 1: of the best punk cover teams in the in the league.
2:07
Speaker 1: And there's you know, Nick Sorenson showing video clips and
2:10
Speaker 1: the guys are in there cheering, and you know, pushing
2:12
Speaker 1: each other, and because because the reality is your professional
2:15
Speaker 1: and everything you do on videotape counts, and there's guys
2:19
Speaker 1: like uh Chappelle and and DT that are doing some
2:23
Speaker 1: really great things. So it's uh trying to focus on
2:27
Speaker 1: the positives. Let's go get a win at Urban. I
2:29
Speaker 1: had a coach in college at at University of Virginia.
2:32
Speaker 1: His name was Phil Outmasion. He said this to me
2:35
Speaker 1: and I thought it wrung true and it still rings
2:37
Speaker 1: true today. He said, you never have a problem that
2:39
Speaker 1: winning camp solve. And that applies not just about winning games,
2:42
Speaker 1: it's about winning drives. And your offense has been struggling.
2:46
Speaker 1: How do you continue to find a way to make
2:49
Speaker 1: the offense just put something together to get a win
2:52
Speaker 1: on a drive to then start stacking them on the
2:55
Speaker 1: next drive. I mean, Jeff, we're in there, you know,
2:59
Speaker 1: six am ttil ten o'clock at night going at it.
3:02
Speaker 1: You have uh Trevor competing his tail off. He got
3:06
Speaker 1: to the point where you know, he's he's feeling it's
3:08
Speaker 1: on him. He has to do has to do this,
3:10
Speaker 1: and that's not that's not alright. When you when you
3:12
Speaker 1: run the ball as poorly as we did the last
3:14
Speaker 1: two weeks. Um, you know puts it puts you in
3:17
Speaker 1: terrible situations and uh, and then you know, get these
3:21
Speaker 1: holding penalties and all you know, you get a nice play.
3:23
Speaker 1: Then I mean we had a forty one yard passed
3:25
Speaker 1: on the left sideline and it comes back. Um, you know,
3:28
Speaker 1: so I sell like a broken record. But you asked
3:31
Speaker 1: the question, and the question is there is no easy answer. Uh.
3:34
Speaker 1: People have to make place. We have to stay on schedule,
3:37
Speaker 1: and it all starts with the ability to run the
3:39
Speaker 1: ball and stay on schedule. Yeah. I was surprised in
3:41
Speaker 1: that game to see only seven rushes by running backs
3:44
Speaker 1: in a in a game that's typically been a little
3:47
Speaker 1: bit of a smash mouth kind of affair with a
3:49
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans team, in an offense that you have that's struggling,
3:52
Speaker 1: Is that something that you need to look at is
3:55
Speaker 1: changing moving forward with you with with a young quarterback
3:58
Speaker 1: with the pressure that he has on the shoulders. Yeah,
4:00
Speaker 1: just so angry about that. Yeah, of course we have
4:02
Speaker 1: to and uh, but that doesn't mean you know, you
4:05
Speaker 1: keep if it's not working. As a play caller, you
4:08
Speaker 1: get caught in second along and second along and second
4:10
Speaker 1: along and and uh, and then you know, our defense
4:14
Speaker 1: gave up one drive and then and then pretty much
4:16
Speaker 1: other than that, they obviously wanted to touchdown. But you
4:20
Speaker 1: think of the field position game, uh, that they were
4:22
Speaker 1: caught in in that second half. The first half was actually,
4:26
Speaker 1: you know, you're hanging in there. It's against a good defense.
4:28
Speaker 1: Our defense gave up seven points and also we started
4:31
Speaker 1: playing very positive field position and that's you know, get
4:34
Speaker 1: a couple of first downs. And I thought, Trevor, think
4:36
Speaker 1: about what he did. The first four third downs were
4:39
Speaker 1: about as well executed as we've done all year. A
4:42
Speaker 1: slant of Lavisca, an out cut to uh Marvin Jones,
4:45
Speaker 1: a stop route by Tavon Austin, and there was one
4:48
Speaker 1: other one um another a third down conversion, but uh,
4:54
Speaker 1: and he kept moving and those were third and longs
4:57
Speaker 1: and then uh, we punched the ball down there and
4:59
Speaker 1: keep them pinned back and we started exchanging the ball
5:02
Speaker 1: back and forth, and it goes in a halftime tend
5:04
Speaker 1: nothing with the ball in the second half on the
5:07
Speaker 1: road against Tennessee. Is that perfect? No? Would you take it? Sure,
5:10
Speaker 1: let's go play, give us a ball. And he almost
5:13
Speaker 1: felt like from watching that he was trying to do
5:15
Speaker 1: too much, and and he has four interceptions. But what
5:18
Speaker 1: really impresses me is that listening to him post game,
5:23
Speaker 1: he's so incredibly aware of exactly every play that he
5:27
Speaker 1: just got done with in the game and after the
5:30
Speaker 1: game and his postgame press conference, he's walking the press
5:33
Speaker 1: kind of through the step by step interceptions. And the
5:36
Speaker 1: one that really impressed me, the second one that he had.
5:39
Speaker 1: He said, look, you know, I got pressured and the
5:41
Speaker 1: linebacker fooled me when he was coming and then he
5:44
Speaker 1: backed out. I didn't see him. I just urban, I'm sorry.
5:47
Speaker 1: I've never seen a young quarterback have that kind of
5:50
Speaker 1: awareness to be able to go into a post game
5:53
Speaker 1: press conference and to recall that. I mean, I'm so scatterbrain.
5:56
Speaker 1: I can't remember what I ate for lunch. But how
5:58
Speaker 1: in the world does he remember every play that he
6:01
Speaker 1: just had, And the and the memory and the vividness
6:03
Speaker 1: of it is impressive. Yeah, and it's uh, that's he's
6:06
Speaker 1: he's checks all the boxes. And you know, I always
6:10
Speaker 1: remember this too. Is the rule two. When there's a
6:13
Speaker 1: ball intercepted, the quarterback gets to blame, But thirty percent
6:17
Speaker 1: of the time it's on the receiver. And twenty percent
6:19
Speaker 1: of the time it's on protection of tip ball. Um uh, tailback,
6:24
Speaker 1: mrs protection. You know, something happens, and so that's about
6:27
Speaker 1: what happened. You know, he had a really uh the
6:30
Speaker 1: worst one of the day was when he tried to
6:32
Speaker 1: force it. You know, we're down and he's trying to
6:33
Speaker 1: make him play. But even that blitz one, you know,
6:36
Speaker 1: that's a that's a tough look. They pressured and the guy.
6:39
Speaker 1: How many times has Trevor really seen that? But the
6:41
Speaker 1: other two, in my opinion, weren't weren't on him. You know,
6:44
Speaker 1: it was a tip ball and one was the one
6:46
Speaker 1: launch down the field the other guys shouldn't want up
6:48
Speaker 1: and got it. So the good thing is I don't
6:50
Speaker 1: feel a blame game happening. It certainly won't happen with
6:53
Speaker 1: our quarterback. Um. You know, whatever narratives are out there
6:57
Speaker 1: and who's fault it is and all that, that's not
6:59
Speaker 1: that's not even a topic. Conversation. On topic is how
7:02
Speaker 1: do we fix it? Hey, co chrim and Meyer with
7:05
Speaker 1: us offensive line play last week Urban and what'd you
7:08
Speaker 1: make over all the group and what are you gonna
7:11
Speaker 1: do moving forward? Yeah, talk to coach warhop and uh,
7:14
Speaker 1: you know, wish that that was a strength and right
7:16
Speaker 1: now it's got to get back to being a strength.
7:18
Speaker 1: I think we get Lender back and but Chatley played
7:20
Speaker 1: all right, you know, the one steady in force. Cam
7:23
Speaker 1: Robinson is playing as good as football as his career.
7:26
Speaker 1: But we've had some issues and uh so that's just
7:30
Speaker 1: gotta work through it. You know, there's no other answer.
7:32
Speaker 1: You gotta work through it. And uh and that's what
7:35
Speaker 1: we're currently doing right now. We'll come back in a
7:37
Speaker 1: moment a little more defensive talk outside of the ball
7:40
Speaker 1: playing well last week against Tennessee. This is the Urban
7:43
Speaker 1: Meyers Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. Wow, welcome back.
8:05
Speaker 1: The Urban Meyers Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network.
8:09
Speaker 1: Jaguars game day broadcasts are presented by Vice Star Credit Union.
8:13
Speaker 1: This is the Urban Meyers Show. J P. Shadrick, Jeff Blagman,
8:16
Speaker 1: and Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer. After the Jags loss
8:19
Speaker 1: last week, coming back home this week to face the
8:22
Speaker 1: Houston Texans. A preview of that game coming up in
8:24
Speaker 1: just a little bit. Let's flip it around coach to
8:27
Speaker 1: the Jags defense, and you know you can't ask a
8:30
Speaker 1: whole lot more from this group. Those sudden change situations,
8:34
Speaker 1: we're outstanding. Twenty one yards combined allowed after the four
8:38
Speaker 1: interceptions on the ensuing drives and only a field goal.
8:41
Speaker 1: And that's uh you know, that's winning defensive football. If
8:45
Speaker 1: you could just get something from the other side, you're right.
8:47
Speaker 1: And uh I always like to say that. You know,
8:50
Speaker 1: the the job of a coach is maximize value, extend careers,
8:53
Speaker 1: and win. And you see guys right now maximizing their value.
8:57
Speaker 1: You know, we took Ray Robertson UH as a free agent,
9:01
Speaker 1: and a lot of people asked us why, and then
9:02
Speaker 1: now you can see why. You know, Jeff and I
9:04
Speaker 1: were talking about that earlier. He was getting better and better.
9:07
Speaker 1: His attitude is fantastic. He's a freak of nature's size,
9:10
Speaker 1: speed and strength is fantastic. He played with great, tight
9:12
Speaker 1: hands and he dominated a game. And expect more of
9:16
Speaker 1: that because he's a worker and a grinder. You know,
9:18
Speaker 1: you see a guy like to want Smoot. Smoots a
9:20
Speaker 1: journeyman that uh I just happened to love the death
9:23
Speaker 1: because he does everything we ask. He's here the entire
9:25
Speaker 1: off season and he trains. He's ten pounds everything was
9:28
Speaker 1: last year, and he's stronger. He's stronger right now than
9:30
Speaker 1: he's been before in his career. And think about that
9:32
Speaker 1: work week seven, whatever week we are in the season.
9:36
Speaker 1: Uh So, the other thing I would point out is
9:38
Speaker 1: Shaq Griffin is a guy that came in and he
9:42
Speaker 1: has a young rookie corner that really struggled early in
9:45
Speaker 1: the season. And I am so amazed and impressed by
9:49
Speaker 1: that guy that on the every time I always walked
9:51
Speaker 1: down the defensive side and he's sitting and he's making
9:54
Speaker 1: sure that corner sits right next to him, talking about
9:56
Speaker 1: Tyson Campbell and they're reviewing and talking. You gonna play
10:00
Speaker 1: together for a while, and you got a veteran like
10:02
Speaker 1: Shack Griffin coaching up uh the young man Tyson Campbell.
10:07
Speaker 1: If that's not first of all, that's what football and
10:09
Speaker 1: team teammates are all about. But think about the environment
10:12
Speaker 1: when we're not playing well in offense and all the defense.
10:15
Speaker 1: And you guys have probably seen it. I've been fortunate
10:18
Speaker 1: very few times to see it. But that's a that's
10:21
Speaker 1: a script written about people complaining him. All that nothing, nothing.
10:25
Speaker 1: They were just sticking together. And the sudden change response
10:28
Speaker 1: was just I mean just phenomenal. And on the season overall,
10:31
Speaker 1: the sudden change has been fantastic. The numbers are this,
10:34
Speaker 1: twenty five offensive giveaways have only given up sixty four
10:38
Speaker 1: points by the Jaguars, your defense, and and that's a
10:41
Speaker 1: tremendous number. And I'm watching the game and Trevor just
10:44
Speaker 1: throws his fourth interception, and I see a Joe Callen
10:48
Speaker 1: running down the sideline with both hands in the air,
10:50
Speaker 1: and I know what he's yelling. I can I can
10:52
Speaker 1: tell he's yelling sudden change, sudden change. And and to
10:55
Speaker 1: bring that energy to the defense, that's that's fantastic because
11:00
Speaker 1: there's a lot of defenses and a lot of guys
11:02
Speaker 1: in that instance, it would have just said, hey, look
11:04
Speaker 1: I'm done, We're out of this ball game. But not
11:08
Speaker 1: and fifty four and thirty two and twenty six, I mean,
11:11
Speaker 1: those guys were playing hard and the sideline was on fire.
11:14
Speaker 1: You used to see him after He's probably the third
11:17
Speaker 1: stop on sudden change. And I went down there and
11:20
Speaker 1: you got Tosh and Joe, you know, with that D
11:22
Speaker 1: line because really, you know, when people ask how's your team,
11:25
Speaker 1: the answers will tell me how my D line is?
11:28
Speaker 1: You know, if you have a D line, you got
11:29
Speaker 1: a chance in every game you'll ever play. And and
11:32
Speaker 1: we have the energy, we have the camaraderie. It's really
11:35
Speaker 1: cool to watch right now. If we we got to
11:37
Speaker 1: get that across all positions, because that is a and
11:40
Speaker 1: and Damian Wilson, don't don't count him out of either
11:42
Speaker 1: as far as a leader. You know, he just kept
11:45
Speaker 1: going and going and played his best game of his
11:48
Speaker 1: as far as I know of his career NFL career
11:51
Speaker 1: at Tennessee. Tin tackles in a sack for Damien Wilson.
11:55
Speaker 1: Roy Robertson Harris was was fantastic as well. There was
11:58
Speaker 1: one play that stuck in my mind mind. It was
12:00
Speaker 1: after Trevor's second interception. It was a third and five
12:03
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. You guys are lining up on defense and
12:06
Speaker 1: you're showing press coverage and you've got a great jam
12:09
Speaker 1: at the line of scrips between Shack Griffin and Rudy
12:12
Speaker 1: Ford and Tanny Hill had absolutely nowhere to go. You're
12:14
Speaker 1: showing a double a gap blitz and Roy Robertson Harris
12:17
Speaker 1: absolutely abuses the backup left guard at that point and
12:21
Speaker 1: gets a sack and I'm just sitting there going, that's
12:23
Speaker 1: team defense right there. Yeah, and and and I just
12:27
Speaker 1: want to hit this. You know, when I get a
12:28
Speaker 1: lot of asked questions, I don't read anything. I stopped
12:31
Speaker 1: that years ago. But about noise and all that, you
12:33
Speaker 1: have to two of the three phases playing pretty well.
12:36
Speaker 1: We're not talking about special teams yet, but our coverage
12:39
Speaker 1: units are are fantastic right now. They're stick. You know,
12:42
Speaker 1: they're going down there two miles an hour. You got
12:44
Speaker 1: defense playing, you know, some of the best football the
12:47
Speaker 1: you know, beginning of the year we struggled and then
12:49
Speaker 1: got all the way up to number six in the
12:51
Speaker 1: in the league of defense and then a cup. Not
12:53
Speaker 1: great weeks, but they had a great week and then
12:56
Speaker 1: there's no complaining back and forth. They're sticking together the offense.
13:00
Speaker 1: They know the offense at some point's gonna come, and
13:02
Speaker 1: they're encouraging each other. So that's you know, we're a
13:05
Speaker 1: team that's that's not winning, but we're a team that's
13:08
Speaker 1: sticking together. And you're one phase that you gotta get going.
13:11
Speaker 1: His offense and and obviously we talked about the running game,
13:15
Speaker 1: the performance of your wide receivers. You want to see
13:17
Speaker 1: get better. And the one thing that I was looking
13:19
Speaker 1: at on film, and there was one play in particular,
13:21
Speaker 1: I thought that was a good example where you had
13:23
Speaker 1: two receivers that ran into each other. But there was
13:25
Speaker 1: a couple other instances on players urban that looked like
13:28
Speaker 1: the wide receiver spacing is not what you wanted to be.
13:32
Speaker 1: How do you go about making sure that that's where
13:34
Speaker 1: it needs to be for a young quarterback? I think,
13:37
Speaker 1: you know, and I keep pushing that just as much
13:39
Speaker 1: walk through as we can, so they can, you know,
13:41
Speaker 1: can every because there's only so much you do on
13:44
Speaker 1: a board on a video, you know, to go out
13:46
Speaker 1: and walk through the space and walk through those things,
13:48
Speaker 1: and especially your quarterback you know there and actually running
13:53
Speaker 1: the show, you know, And so we've done more of
13:56
Speaker 1: that in the past, and at times it shows, you know,
13:58
Speaker 1: I know, there's a couple of bad ones, but then
14:00
Speaker 1: I can go back and some guys made some heck
14:02
Speaker 1: of a place, uh in that game. You know, Treadwell
14:05
Speaker 1: made a dynamic catchdown the field. Marvin's made some catches,
14:09
Speaker 1: but weren't We just got to be more consistent. How
14:11
Speaker 1: about Treadwell the last few weeks stepping in there and
14:14
Speaker 1: and the statistics are starting to come for him. Obviously,
14:17
Speaker 1: the offense as a whole needs to play better, but
14:19
Speaker 1: that's a good sign for a guy like Treadwell. It
14:22
Speaker 1: is in uh same with Tavan Tavan and to clutch,
14:24
Speaker 1: clutch third down. And we've had some tough injuries now
14:27
Speaker 1: and everybody knows that and so does most people have
14:30
Speaker 1: to deal with injuries. But you take Dan Arnold out
14:33
Speaker 1: the line up and then Shark and he's been out
14:34
Speaker 1: all year. Uh et In was a guy that and
14:37
Speaker 1: then uh Agnew became one of our go to so
14:40
Speaker 1: guys we need to step up in a lot of
14:43
Speaker 1: respects they have, but we need to step up more.
14:45
Speaker 1: That's an unfortunate long list of injured guys for sure.
14:48
Speaker 1: We'll come back in a moment and look ahead to
14:50
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans in week fifteen. This is the Urban
14:53
Speaker 1: Meyer Show on Jaguars Radio. Wow, welcome back. The Urban

Speaker 1: and with the last time the Texans face two was
15:37
Speaker 1: back in Week one. I mean, how much do you
15:39
Speaker 1: can can you take away from the tape of that game.
15:42
Speaker 1: It's a totally different team. It feels like don in Houston. Yeah,
15:45
Speaker 1: they're different. We're different and uh we didn't play well.
15:48
Speaker 1: That was first time out of the shoot and and uh,
15:51
Speaker 1: but it's completely different. They don't. They have a lot
15:53
Speaker 1: uh either lost players or traded or moved on from
15:57
Speaker 1: some people. But what they're doing is playing pretty good defense.
16:00
Speaker 1: You know, you watch what happens in the games. I
16:03
Speaker 1: just got to watch about four games. But the Phoenix
16:06
Speaker 1: Cardinals in Austria, they had a yard in the first
16:07
Speaker 1: quarter and then what happens that You know, a team
16:10
Speaker 1: like Phoenix, like uh, Calabary starts running around making plays,
16:13
Speaker 1: but their defense are front led by number Ninete is
16:16
Speaker 1: very strong or four down Lovey Smith's a de coordinator.
16:19
Speaker 1: I got great respect for him. I coached against him
16:21
Speaker 1: many times in college. Uh, you have number fifty one.
16:23
Speaker 1: This is interesting to watch. He's uh, he's just all
16:27
Speaker 1: purpose linebacker. He's a little undersized, but man, he's in
16:30
Speaker 1: the backfield leads. I think that he leads with the
16:32
Speaker 1: tackle for lost for him, but he was has a
16:35
Speaker 1: knee and he has COVID, so we don't know if
16:36
Speaker 1: he's gonna play at the state. But he's a really
16:39
Speaker 1: good player. And uh so they're there there. I would
16:43
Speaker 1: imagine they're like us. They are swinging as hard as
16:46
Speaker 1: they possibly can for a win. Win. Last week was
16:49
Speaker 1: in the first time at the NFL level that you
16:52
Speaker 1: have had a second game against the same team in
16:55
Speaker 1: the regular season. What do you learn from that and
16:58
Speaker 1: and what do you carry into of the next opportunity
17:01
Speaker 1: with a second match up against another division opponent. Yeah,
17:04
Speaker 1: it's it's the first time for me and uh uh
17:07
Speaker 1: this was so long ago, and the teams are so different.
17:10
Speaker 1: Of course you watch it. Uh the one thing is
17:13
Speaker 1: you know they're they're decordinators, so sound and what they do.
17:17
Speaker 1: Uh so you do fundamentally see the same things, but
17:20
Speaker 1: a lot of the players are different. Uh. We're certainly
17:22
Speaker 1: a different team than we were back then. So I
17:25
Speaker 1: would imagine as you play closer uh to each other,
17:28
Speaker 1: which we're gonna do that here soon with the Indianapolis
17:31
Speaker 1: um that that would be a little different. Yeah, definitely
17:34
Speaker 1: different when it comes to the quarterback position. Tyrod Taylor
17:38
Speaker 1: was the quarterback Week one and they have now committed
17:41
Speaker 1: the rest of the season to their third round pick
17:43
Speaker 1: out of Stanford, Davis Mills. What do you see from
17:46
Speaker 1: him and what do you see from that Texans offense
17:49
Speaker 1: with him just getting his seventh career start. Yeah, he
17:52
Speaker 1: threw for three yards in the last game. A lot
17:55
Speaker 1: of it was screens, and underneath I see an accurate passer.
17:58
Speaker 1: I see a guy that uh they're they're managing a
18:01
Speaker 1: little bit like what we tried to do with a
18:03
Speaker 1: young quarterback and not put him in harm's way the
18:05
Speaker 1: best we can. And a guy that's very accurate. That's
18:08
Speaker 1: what I see. And uh, you know another thing to
18:10
Speaker 1: watch his Rex Burkhead. He's one of those all purpose guys.
18:13
Speaker 1: It's tough, as I remember coaching against him as well
18:15
Speaker 1: at Nebraska. Just a tough guy. But he's also dinged
18:19
Speaker 1: up right now, so we're not sure the one the
18:21
Speaker 1: one player on offense Noumber thirteen is that's their whole ball.
18:25
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks his outstanding receiver. Yeah, there's one other guy
18:29
Speaker 1: on the offensive and I gotta bring up because it
18:31
Speaker 1: makes me feel old. Andy Heck's son. Okay, Andy heck
18:34
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you remember. Andy heck played
18:36
Speaker 1: at Notre Dame and was a first round pick the
18:38
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. Hate to say this, We give him a
18:40
Speaker 1: hard time about he's one that gave up all those
18:42
Speaker 1: sacks and Derek Thomas for a single game record. He
18:44
Speaker 1: used to joke with him a little bit about that.
18:46
Speaker 1: But but Andy was an offensive line coach here with
18:49
Speaker 1: the Jaguars and had his sons grow up right here
18:52
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville and went to bowls. And Charlie Heck who
18:55
Speaker 1: is the starting right tackle for the Houston Texans, was
18:59
Speaker 1: a ball old kid. And that's Andy heck Son. That's
19:02
Speaker 1: making me feel kind of old world. And Matt Andy
19:04
Speaker 1: Heck before and obviously a Notre Dame guy that I am,
19:08
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, great respect. I did not know that. I
19:10
Speaker 1: would have fought. You said, there's no way he gave
19:13
Speaker 1: up that many sacks. He didn't give them all up.
19:17
Speaker 1: You know how that works though. I mean, when Derrick
19:18
Speaker 1: Thomas winds up and you're the right tackle, you're left tackle,
19:22
Speaker 1: you're gonna get pinned for a ball, so like a
19:23
Speaker 1: quarterback getting all the responsibility. That's how it works. That
19:26
Speaker 1: is how it works, all right. So Urban, the Jaguars
19:29
Speaker 1: back home this week, trying to snap this losing skid,
19:32
Speaker 1: get back in the bank here and get some positivity going.
19:36
Speaker 1: Some good things are going on. Defense, special teams, gotta
19:38
Speaker 1: get the offense jump started here. Let's get it going
19:42
Speaker 1: down the stretch here, flour to go. Let's get it
19:44
Speaker 1: going down the stretch. And I know why, I just
19:46
Speaker 1: I will say that how much you appreciate people coming
19:48
Speaker 1: out and uh, I promise you've got people whore gonna
19:51
Speaker 1: tail off. We're gonna we're gonna flip this thing. And
19:53
Speaker 1: uh right now, the defense is you know, just see
19:56
Speaker 1: the way they're walking around. They're very confident how they're playing.
19:59
Speaker 1: We have to get that same confidence back in the
20:01
Speaker 1: offense because at one point we had that and we
20:03
Speaker 1: lost it and we got to get it back. Urban,
20:06
Speaker 1: thanks for the time, good luck to you this week.
20:07
Speaker 1: Appreciate you. Head coach. Urban Meyer back with more on
20:10
Speaker 1: The Urban Meyer Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back.
20:18
Speaker 1: The Urban Meyer Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network
20:22
Speaker 1: welcome back. It's the Urban Meyers Show, j P Shadrick,
20:25
Speaker 1: Jeff Logoman, and our thanks to head Joe churban Meyer.
20:28
Speaker 1: He joins us in the first half hour each and
20:31
Speaker 1: every Tuesday afternoon. The Jags two and eleven now five
20:35
Speaker 1: game losing skids, second of the season, coming back home
20:38
Speaker 1: to host the Houston Texans. A lot of noise, trying
20:42
Speaker 1: to shut it out, move forward, get this team to
20:46
Speaker 1: find some kind of positive play down the stretch here.
20:49
Speaker 1: It has been a tough, tough stretch. Well, I mean, look,
20:53
Speaker 1: you've got two great opportunities because you've got two teams
20:57
Speaker 1: that aren't very good coming up. And if you think
21:00
Speaker 1: the noise is loud, now, if you have two performances
21:06
Speaker 1: in the upcoming weeks that aren't good, it'll get really loud.
21:09
Speaker 1: And that's just the nature of the business. I mean,
21:11
Speaker 1: that's uh life in the National Football League. And I
21:15
Speaker 1: hope this team plays well this week against the Texans
21:18
Speaker 1: team that many people viewed as as a dumpster fire
21:22
Speaker 1: in the off season with Jack Easterby and Nixcessario and
21:26
Speaker 1: the Deshaun Watson situation. We thought, go all the way
21:31
Speaker 1: back to Week one, we thought the Jaguars were gonna
21:33
Speaker 1: beat this Texans team. And when that game started to
21:38
Speaker 1: play out, we were going to, wait a minute, which
21:40
Speaker 1: team is having problems? It was the Jaguars. Remember it
21:44
Speaker 1: started out fourteen nothing, trust me, I remember. And then
21:48
Speaker 1: the jag score. They go down the field and score,
21:51
Speaker 1: and Lawrence hits Man hurts the leven played drives. Fourteen seven. Okay, great,
21:56
Speaker 1: the Texans made it thirty four seven. I'll of a sudden,
22:00
Speaker 1: I always make I always make notes, okay, throughout the
22:04
Speaker 1: course of the game, because I mean, what you gotta
22:08
Speaker 1: be able to reflect and kind of summarize the game
22:10
Speaker 1: when you're when you're doing the broadcasting thing. And when
22:13
Speaker 1: I was watching the game, first of all, the the
22:15
Speaker 1: amount of disorganization, that's right. There were guys going on late,
22:19
Speaker 1: they had to use timeouts on defense, twelve men on
22:22
Speaker 1: the field, I mean, all of those things were kind
22:24
Speaker 1: of into play, and you were sitting there going, wait
22:26
Speaker 1: a minute, this is not a discipline team. I mean,
22:30
Speaker 1: it looks looked like it was the first time that
22:32
Speaker 1: they ever even rehearsed something. It was bad. They didn't
22:36
Speaker 1: even give themselves a chance to compete, and that was
22:39
Speaker 1: the most disappointing thing about the Jaguars first performance that
22:43
Speaker 1: they had in Houston, and uh, because when you have
22:47
Speaker 1: that level of organization, you don't have a chance to perform,
22:52
Speaker 1: and they didn't certainly against the Texans. And that was
22:55
Speaker 1: disappointing in and of itself because of our view and
22:59
Speaker 1: I would say even of a league view of the
23:01
Speaker 1: Texans at that time. M hmm. Yeah. Just think about that.
23:06
Speaker 1: I mean, were we we thought the Texans were dumpster
23:10
Speaker 1: a dub chalk it up. No, no, no, it was.
23:14
Speaker 1: It wasn't good. And so there's like my point isn't
23:18
Speaker 1: like that wasn't good. Okay, Texans are not a good
23:22
Speaker 1: football team. They are not viewed as any worry even
23:26
Speaker 1: coming close to a good football team. And now they
23:28
Speaker 1: have a third round pick rookie quarterback. You have a
23:31
Speaker 1: first overall pick quarterback. Okay, now you're gonna have another
23:35
Speaker 1: another measuring stick to see where you're at. And if
23:38
Speaker 1: you don't play well at home against the Texans, the
23:42
Speaker 1: noise will continue to grow. And then you go up
23:46
Speaker 1: against another rookie quarterback who was picked behind Trevor in
23:49
Speaker 1: New York, and that football team is led by former
23:52
Speaker 1: Jaguars linebackers coach Robert Sala. If you don't play well there,
23:57
Speaker 1: it's gonna continue to grow louder. And on top of that,
24:01
Speaker 1: now you're involving New York media. True, that's right, they
24:07
Speaker 1: really think about that part of it. That's a big
24:10
Speaker 1: that's a bet something to think about now. That That's
24:13
Speaker 1: why I'm saying that the noise is loud now, but
24:17
Speaker 1: it can grow extremely loud if you all of a
24:20
Speaker 1: sudden you're headed to New York having lost to the
24:23
Speaker 1: Titans the way you did, and then if you lose
24:26
Speaker 1: to the Texans this weekend, thanks going to run the
24:28
Speaker 1: ball a little bit more this week. You have to better, right, well,
24:32
Speaker 1: you have to, and you you have to stop putting
24:36
Speaker 1: your offense in the situation where they're in third and long. Look,
24:39
Speaker 1: if you gain two or three yards on first down,
24:42
Speaker 1: and you gain two or three yards on second down,
24:45
Speaker 1: and you get the third and three, third and fourth,
24:47
Speaker 1: that's okay for a young quarterback, that's okay. It's way
24:52
Speaker 1: better than third and seventh, third and eight, whatever that
24:55
Speaker 1: may be, where the Jaguars have mostly been at. And
24:58
Speaker 1: you've got to find a way to get back and
24:59
Speaker 1: being commit it too a running game, which look, the
25:02
Speaker 1: Jaguars offensive line didn't play well in fact, but when
25:08
Speaker 1: you put them in a situation to do something that
25:11
Speaker 1: they're not built to do, which is to pass protect
25:15
Speaker 1: throughout a game, their chance of having a coach's job
25:19
Speaker 1: is to be able to put a player in the
25:21
Speaker 1: best position to have success. And I feel like that
25:24
Speaker 1: they didn't do that in Tennessee because they didn't stay
25:28
Speaker 1: committed to a running game, which would have made a
25:30
Speaker 1: little bit easier job for an offensive line and would
25:33
Speaker 1: have taken pressure off of a young quarterback. And the
25:36
Speaker 1: reason I say that you you you should do that
25:39
Speaker 1: in a game like that, the Tennessee Titans had just
25:41
Speaker 1: scored thirteen points a game in the two previous games.
25:45
Speaker 1: They did not have a whole bunch of weapons on offense,
25:48
Speaker 1: and the Jaguars defense did a good job. So if
25:52
Speaker 1: you just got a little bit better on offense, and
25:54
Speaker 1: if you stuck with the ball in the ground and
25:56
Speaker 1: you gave the ball to your best player, oh by
25:58
Speaker 1: the way, which is James Robbins, and you would have
26:01
Speaker 1: had a much better chance of success as opposed to
26:05
Speaker 1: only running the ball seven times till the running backs
26:08
Speaker 1: and then throwing the ball a bunch. So we asked
26:13
Speaker 1: Urban about all the run and he said, look, it's
26:14
Speaker 1: gotta get fixed. I mean, that's you know, I don't
26:17
Speaker 1: want to be captain obvious, but that's pretty apparent. There's
26:21
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. We'll return and touch on the
26:25
Speaker 1: defense a little deeper dive if you will, into the defense.
26:29
Speaker 1: And they played okay, they played okay, they played better
26:32
Speaker 1: than okay. They played. They played pretty good, pretty good. Yeah, yeah,
26:37
Speaker 1: I know I would agree with that. Look, I didn't
26:39
Speaker 1: like the first first drive of the game, right for
26:42
Speaker 1: a couple of drives of the game at the name
26:44
Speaker 1: all of a sudden second half of great. I just
26:46
Speaker 1: I just give him credit for for staying committed. Let's
26:49
Speaker 1: come back and get into that. This is the Urban
26:51
Speaker 1: Meyers Show on Jaguars Radio. Welcome Back. The Urban Meyer
27:06
Speaker 1: Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network Welcome Back JP
27:10
Speaker 1: Shatterrick with Jeff Blagman, Head coach. Urban Meyer joins us
27:13
Speaker 1: in the first half hour every Tuesday. This is the
27:16
Speaker 1: Urban Meyers Show. The Jaguars faced the Houston Texans in
27:19
Speaker 1: week fifteen. Coming up and one o'clock kickoff time this
27:22
Speaker 1: Sunday at t I A A Bank Field, a battle
27:24
Speaker 1: of two and eleven teams the bottom of the a
27:27
Speaker 1: f C. South Texans are trying to, you know, scrape
27:32
Speaker 1: it down to the bottom. The Jets had the Jets one. Yeah,
27:36
Speaker 1: what what is their record better than this one? I think? So? Yeah,
27:40
Speaker 1: they got three wins, right, the Jets are six and
27:42
Speaker 1: set no, yeah, three and ten and then the Lions
27:45
Speaker 1: are they one eleven, one eleven and one. Okay, so
27:49
Speaker 1: that this is not the bottom of the barrel because
27:54
Speaker 1: Troy is still there, that's right. But it will it's
27:57
Speaker 1: the worst match up in the in the league. It'll
27:59
Speaker 1: effect the draft order for at least another week. I mean,
28:04
Speaker 1: it's it's the worst matchup in the league this week.
28:08
Speaker 1: Jaguars defense last week, some long drives early, a ten
28:13
Speaker 1: play touchdown drive for Tennessee Jante Foreman with a five
28:16
Speaker 1: yards score captin off. The next drive for Tennessee nine
28:19
Speaker 1: plays forty two yards and they missed a field goal
28:22
Speaker 1: from forty seven. The next and the next drive fifteen
28:26
Speaker 1: plays and just over eight minutes, Bullock had to settle
28:29
Speaker 1: for a field goal. That's a lot of plays and
28:31
Speaker 1: a lot of time. On the field for the defense.
28:33
Speaker 1: They just couldn't get off the field. A lot of
28:35
Speaker 1: times they were on the field because it was their fault. Yeah,
28:39
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I mean that that wasn't
28:40
Speaker 1: bad all fense keeping them out there or anything of
28:43
Speaker 1: that nature. That was on them to start the game.
28:45
Speaker 1: And then they settled down and play great. The second
28:47
Speaker 1: half was fantastic, and the sudden change and the situations
28:53
Speaker 1: that they were put in. Uh here, you know. Here,
28:56
Speaker 1: I'll give you to you the first interception which was
28:59
Speaker 1: Shawn Evan on La Visca, a flat drop, no, no
29:05
Speaker 1: other way to describe that. The Jaguars defense holes Tennessee
29:08
Speaker 1: to three three plays and then eight yards and then
29:11
Speaker 1: they have to punt. And then the next interception which
29:16
Speaker 1: was by Jayon Brown. That was a great play, by
29:18
Speaker 1: the way on him, and I'm gonna look at that
29:22
Speaker 1: for again, Jaguars all access. I just want to also
29:25
Speaker 1: remind you that because on that play, the John Brown interception,
29:30
Speaker 1: the very next Jaguars defensive drive against the Titans, you
29:35
Speaker 1: had two sacks on that drive. One of them was
29:39
Speaker 1: by jahad Ward, which that might be the first play
29:41
Speaker 1: made all year, and then another one by Roy Robertson
29:44
Speaker 1: Harris and Roy Robinson. Harris got that sack on a
29:48
Speaker 1: third and five, I think it was, and it was
29:50
Speaker 1: a great job. And press coveragere gonna look at that
29:52
Speaker 1: on Jack's Wired tomorrow night because Roy gets the sack
29:57
Speaker 1: because it's it's a first of all, it's it's an
29:59
Speaker 1: excellent call by Joe Cullen, but it's also excellent execution
30:02
Speaker 1: by the corners on the outside because they're playing bumping run,
30:06
Speaker 1: and they're bumping run, they really don't allow the wide
30:08
Speaker 1: receivers to get to the run part. I mean literally,
30:11
Speaker 1: they just jammed them and bumped them and that was
30:13
Speaker 1: kind of where it ended. And so Tanny Hill then
30:16
Speaker 1: goes to find something else and by that time, Roy
30:18
Speaker 1: robers and Harris has beaten the backup left guard like
30:21
Speaker 1: a redheaded step child and then bam, he's down. And
30:24
Speaker 1: it's a great play. And by the way, I can
30:27
Speaker 1: say that because I got red haired in the family. Yeah,
30:30
Speaker 1: so I'm allowed to say that. But it was a
30:33
Speaker 1: great play by Roy, And that's the play we'll be
30:35
Speaker 1: looking at for Jaguar because how you have you know,
30:39
Speaker 1: they always you always hear coaches talk about Russian cover
30:43
Speaker 1: and Russian cover and that's a perfect example of that.
30:46
Speaker 1: So that drive there was five plays eight yards only
30:49
Speaker 1: and then they had to punt. The next interception was Fulton.
30:53
Speaker 1: He makes it in a three yards, three plays two
30:56
Speaker 1: yards and then a punt and then the very last
30:58
Speaker 1: one by buster screen ten see goes uh four plays
31:02
Speaker 1: or four plays goes three yards and in the field
31:04
Speaker 1: go of twenty nine yards. I mean, that's that's outstandings.
31:07
Speaker 1: Sun Change defense to allow only three points in twenty
31:10
Speaker 1: one yards on four giveaways by your offense. I mean
31:14
Speaker 1: that's I mean, you know, as a as a defensive coach,
31:17
Speaker 1: if if you were asked that, you say, hey, we
31:18
Speaker 1: still got a chance to win, it's good. It's a
31:22
Speaker 1: good thing. And um, as we mentioned a little earlier
31:25
Speaker 1: that you know, a lot of these defensive players, especially
31:28
Speaker 1: the guys they signed this past off season, are multi
31:30
Speaker 1: year deals. If you have some positive play like this,
31:34
Speaker 1: and some of those guys are stepping up and playing
31:36
Speaker 1: pretty well, that's at least something you can build upon
31:39
Speaker 1: moving ahead, not only this season, but in the season's ahead.
31:42
Speaker 1: I'll have some other holes to fill and you still
31:44
Speaker 1: want you want guys to get better like I want to.
31:46
Speaker 1: I want to see more out of Josh Allen here
31:48
Speaker 1: down the stretch. I want to see more out of
31:50
Speaker 1: Miles Jack. I want to see Calavan chas and I
31:52
Speaker 1: want to see him start to progress. I mean it's
31:55
Speaker 1: you know, Smoot is out performing him. He is out
31:58
Speaker 1: Smoot is outperforming Josh all right now, He's just solid
32:01
Speaker 1: every week. Damian Wilson is out performing Miles Jack, you know.
32:06
Speaker 1: So I want to see those other guys raise their
32:10
Speaker 1: level of play in the last four games when we return.
32:15
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence talk Jaguars quarterback through four picks last week.
32:19
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of weight on him right now. Now,
32:21
Speaker 1: I mean you talk about the noise being loud for
32:25
Speaker 1: an organization, I mean, can you imagine how much noise
32:30
Speaker 1: and now, okay, I'm sure he's great at it, but
32:33
Speaker 1: should he have to be dealing with the noise that
32:36
Speaker 1: we're hearing and the organization is hearing. I mean, that's
32:40
Speaker 1: it's not exactly the optimum situation for a rookie to
32:43
Speaker 1: thrive them. This is the Urban Meyer Show on the
32:46
Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back. The Urban Meyer Show continues
32:52
Speaker 1: along the Jaguars Radio Network j P. Shadrick, Jeff Logan,
32:57
Speaker 1: and this is the Urban Meyers Show that go turban
33:00
Speaker 1: right with us in the first half hour every Tuesday.
33:02
Speaker 1: As he was earlier today, Jaguars faced the Houston Texans
33:06
Speaker 1: coming up this Sunday at t i A Bank Field,
33:09
Speaker 1: still rehashing last week's lost twenty nothing the final score
33:14
Speaker 1: against the Tennessee Titans. The Jaguars offense, for the third
33:19
Speaker 1: time this year, held under two hundred total guards and
33:22
Speaker 1: they were shut out for the first time since two
33:24
Speaker 1: thousand nine. Trevor Lawrence threw four interceptions in the game. Well,
33:30
Speaker 1: all those came in the second half. Three of them
33:33
Speaker 1: came down by seventeen or um. Actually, yeah, all three
33:37
Speaker 1: of them came down by seventeen seventeen nothing. The Titans
33:41
Speaker 1: added a field goal after the fourth interception, and so
33:46
Speaker 1: you know, it's you think about this to JP, is
33:49
Speaker 1: that um they had at the half offensively eighty four
33:55
Speaker 1: yards that's it. But you remember the very last play
34:00
Speaker 1: of the half, it's like thirty something. Yeah, stat padding
34:06
Speaker 1: dump off to Marvin Jones jor underneath. I'm kind of curious,
34:12
Speaker 1: is that look if you're down ten or nothing and
34:14
Speaker 1: you've got the ball at midfield, what's the sense of
34:17
Speaker 1: throwing the ball underneath? If I look, I get it.
34:19
Speaker 1: If it was like, okay, you're throwing underneath and you
34:22
Speaker 1: get a convoy in front of him and kind of
34:25
Speaker 1: like us something exactly, But you didn't appear to have
34:32
Speaker 1: that plan. There was nobody running in front of Marvin
34:34
Speaker 1: Jones Jr. So my question to that would be, what's
34:39
Speaker 1: the point of running it to get thirty one yards
34:43
Speaker 1: so that the statistics at the end of the game
34:45
Speaker 1: don't look as bad? Because in that moment is shouldn't
34:51
Speaker 1: you try a hail Mary at least get it close
34:54
Speaker 1: to the end or something that would give you And look,
34:58
Speaker 1: I know the percentages are very small for some miracle play,
35:03
Speaker 1: you know, the the Boston College play against Miami. Okay,
35:08
Speaker 1: like I get it, ladder or whatever, right, yeah, but
35:11
Speaker 1: don't you try something at midfield instead of just okay,
35:16
Speaker 1: let's throw it underneath and we gained thirty one yards. Look, look,
35:20
Speaker 1: I know that how first half can be poor performances
35:25
Speaker 1: and and and downright pathetic sometimes, but man, what's wrong
35:30
Speaker 1: with going into the half and all of a sudden
35:31
Speaker 1: you stole seven points? And you're down by three and
35:35
Speaker 1: you get the ball back and you just stole a score.
35:40
Speaker 1: You know, maybe you get an interference, and because here's
35:42
Speaker 1: the thing, if you get an air interference on a
35:44
Speaker 1: hail Mary, what do you get was zero? You get
35:47
Speaker 1: a free play. So why would you not try something
35:53
Speaker 1: down the field at that stage of the game instead
35:57
Speaker 1: of a dump off underneath? I mean that that was
36:01
Speaker 1: a curious call. There was another one I think it
36:03
Speaker 1: was a third and eight and then the essentially running
36:05
Speaker 1: like a read option to Carlos hide and I when
36:10
Speaker 1: it happened, I was like wow, uh and and or
36:14
Speaker 1: they thinking they gained four or five yards and then
36:17
Speaker 1: it's four down territory there. Maybe I don't know, but
36:20
Speaker 1: I mean Norwell was kind of almost past protecting blocking,
36:25
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. He wasn't driving as like
36:28
Speaker 1: a run block on his own. He was kind of
36:31
Speaker 1: setting as we're as was Cam Robinson. So that was like,
36:35
Speaker 1: wait a minute, what what what's that for? Anyway, some
36:38
Speaker 1: curious calls in the game, And I'm not trying to
36:41
Speaker 1: pin it on anybody. I'm just saying, is that, Look,
36:43
Speaker 1: if you want to maximize your opportunity in a game,
36:46
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta try to take advantage of some situations,
36:49
Speaker 1: and I felt like that they missed on some opportunities
36:51
Speaker 1: in that game. Obviously, there's a lot of pressure on
36:54
Speaker 1: on every NFL player, every NFL coach to perform and
36:58
Speaker 1: deliver a week after week and the week after week
37:01
Speaker 1: after week. It has has not gone well for this team.
37:06
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence was the number one overall pick. He's his
37:10
Speaker 1: statistics the last month a month and a half have
37:12
Speaker 1: not been that great. I would be lining up a
37:16
Speaker 1: trip to get away after this season. Clear your mind.
37:19
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm seriously. I mean, I'm not joking. I
37:21
Speaker 1: mean I'm I'm being serious here, because he's taken. He's
37:24
Speaker 1: got the most of of anybody, I think just because
37:28
Speaker 1: of that status who he is. He is the future
37:31
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback and all that comes with it. And things
37:34
Speaker 1: aren't going well right now, and the noise is loud.
37:38
Speaker 1: It's always loud for a rookie quarterback when they're starting
37:42
Speaker 1: right from the get go. I mean, that's that's that's
37:44
Speaker 1: a tough, tough ask. I mean that's I've I've been
37:48
Speaker 1: around young quarterbacks and have seen them play, and it's
37:51
Speaker 1: a it's the hardest position to play in all of
37:54
Speaker 1: professional sports, and there's nothing that comes close to it.
37:57
Speaker 1: I can assure you of that. And so for a
37:59
Speaker 1: young quarterback to be able to deal with that on
38:03
Speaker 1: a team that's just okay, that's a lot. But then
38:07
Speaker 1: to have all these other things that are happening, it
38:13
Speaker 1: makes it even I think it makes it even more difficult,
38:15
Speaker 1: and it makes it even tougher for a young quarterback
38:19
Speaker 1: to have success because you're not just dealing with just
38:22
Speaker 1: the typical things. You're dealing with other things too. You know,
38:28
Speaker 1: the questions about you know, your coach, or there's questions
38:32
Speaker 1: about your running back and and why is he not
38:35
Speaker 1: on the field? I mean, the questions about are is
38:41
Speaker 1: your wide receiver okay? With the head coach? I mean,
38:43
Speaker 1: I mean, all those things. It just it just adds
38:46
Speaker 1: to the noise for that individual. And so I give
38:51
Speaker 1: him a lot of credit because he has been a
38:55
Speaker 1: plus and any of the dealings that he's had with media,
38:59
Speaker 1: so it's great. On the photo he's been fantastic, and
39:02
Speaker 1: he's very aware and he and and because he's very aware,
39:06
Speaker 1: that's what I keep thinking that it's going to give
39:08
Speaker 1: him a great chance, because the hard part about playing
39:13
Speaker 1: quarterback in the National Football League is the mental part.
39:16
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta have the physical stuff, which you know,
39:19
Speaker 1: the pocket presence, the arm strength, the accuracy, which I
39:22
Speaker 1: believe he has all those type of things, But then
39:25
Speaker 1: you have to have the mental toughness. You have to
39:27
Speaker 1: have the mental acuity, the smarts, the intelligence which Peyton
39:32
Speaker 1: Manning and Tom Brady continue continue to put on display
39:36
Speaker 1: for many years. I mean, I think he has all
39:38
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, but you've gotta get You gotta
39:41
Speaker 1: quiet the noise around him, and you have to give
39:44
Speaker 1: him an environment and make the environment for him more
39:48
Speaker 1: conducive to improvement. And right now the improvement is not happening.
39:52
Speaker 1: So you've got to look at the environment and say,
39:54
Speaker 1: are we doing the right things for him? And I
39:56
Speaker 1: think there are some questions that you would say and
39:59
Speaker 1: or swers to that that you would say, no, we're
40:01
Speaker 1: not doing what's best for him in some situations. We
40:05
Speaker 1: need to do better and they need to do better.
40:08
Speaker 1: When we come back. Our final thoughts ahead of the
40:11
Speaker 1: Jaguars and the Houston Texans coming up in week fifteen,

40:24
Speaker 1: is the Urban Meyers Show on Jaguars Radio. Wow, Welcome Back.
40:41
Speaker 1: The Urban Meyers Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network.
40:45
Speaker 1: Welcome Back. In final moments of the Urban Meyers Show,
40:48
Speaker 1: j P. Shadrick, Jeff Logerman head coach Urban Meyer with
40:51
Speaker 1: us in the first half hour every week. This week,
40:54
Speaker 1: the Jaguars faced the Houston Texans two and eleven teams
40:58
Speaker 1: going at it Sunday one o'clock. The Texans knocked off
41:01
Speaker 1: the Jaguars way back in week one down an NRG
41:05
Speaker 1: Stadium in Houston, and as Urban said earlier, Logs, Well,
41:09
Speaker 1: they're much different different The Jags are much different too.
41:14
Speaker 1: Jaguars aren't that different than the first meet? Kind of different.
41:17
Speaker 1: How so Chark's got out, Okay, you got some offensive
41:23
Speaker 1: line things going on, right, Yeah, But I mean it's
41:25
Speaker 1: the same offensive line tight ends. Uh. I mean you
41:31
Speaker 1: really you had James O. Shaughnessy in the first matchup.
41:34
Speaker 1: You didn't have Dan Arnold in the first matchup. So
41:38
Speaker 1: it's actually it's a it's a very similar Jaguars team.
41:41
Speaker 1: But it's a very different Texans team. You know, you
41:44
Speaker 1: got a different starting right tackle, right guard, a different
41:49
Speaker 1: starting tight end, a different starting quarterback, different starting wide receiver.
41:53
Speaker 1: So there's a there's been a lot of change in it.
41:55
Speaker 1: On defense, I mean, you traded a linebacker, you cut
42:00
Speaker 1: one of your all time leading sackers and who went
42:05
Speaker 1: on too Green Bay and Whitney Merciless. I mean, so
42:08
Speaker 1: there has been significant change with the Texans. But you know,
42:12
Speaker 1: you go back to what some of the commentary was
42:15
Speaker 1: from their general manager, Nick Serio, and he talked about
42:18
Speaker 1: that this season is more process driven than it is
42:21
Speaker 1: about results driven, which basically was preparing the fan base
42:24
Speaker 1: that we're gonna suck and we're just gonna let you
42:26
Speaker 1: know upfront because we know we've got a lot of
42:29
Speaker 1: building to do. And the expectation when the Jaguars went
42:34
Speaker 1: to Houston that first week was that the organization was
42:37
Speaker 1: gonna at some point trade Deshaun Watson to maybe pick
42:41
Speaker 1: up two to three first round draft picks for the
42:43
Speaker 1: future to replace some of the first round picks high
42:46
Speaker 1: picks that they just traded away over the last couple
42:50
Speaker 1: of years under Bill O'Brien. Well Deshaun Watson still on
42:54
Speaker 1: the roster, but he is not playing at all. They've
42:57
Speaker 1: got a rookie quarterback, third round pick who's starting. So yeah,
43:00
Speaker 1: the Texans are much different, much different. And uh, I
43:04
Speaker 1: like their head coach though, David Culley. I think he's
43:08
Speaker 1: handled a very tough situation pretty well. And that's not
43:13
Speaker 1: easy to do, I can tell you that. But he's
43:15
Speaker 1: been around the league a long time, highly respected guy,
43:18
Speaker 1: been around the league a long time. I gotta win
43:21
Speaker 1: this game right well, like we said, if you don't,
43:24
Speaker 1: then the noise grows from last week, and then it
43:29
Speaker 1: grows going into the New York Metee market and uh,
43:33
Speaker 1: and then I think the spotlight because you're going to
43:37
Speaker 1: New York, and the comparisons of their quarterback and your quarterback,
43:42
Speaker 1: and the attention on your team and your situation because
43:45
Speaker 1: you also have a first year quarterback. You know, the
43:48
Speaker 1: New York Post and all these New York publications and
43:50
Speaker 1: the national media. I mean, look, I played in New York.
43:54
Speaker 1: I understand how that works and that that New York
43:56
Speaker 1: has a certain spotlight to it, and they don't pay
44:01
Speaker 1: attention to the Jaguars on a weekend week out basis,
44:05
Speaker 1: but that week they will be paying attention. They were
44:08
Speaker 1: paying a little bit of attention over the weekend after
44:11
Speaker 1: those reports came out on Saturday, and so again the
44:15
Speaker 1: noise will get loud er going to New York. If
44:17
Speaker 1: you don't beat this Texans team that's many views, the
44:20
Speaker 1: worst situation in the league. Got to get it. This
44:23
Speaker 1: week Jags have dropped five in a row for the
44:25
Speaker 1: second time this season. Trying to bounce back, trying to
44:28
Speaker 1: get in the end zone, trying to get on the
44:29
Speaker 1: scoreboard this week start there against Houston team that's also
44:34
Speaker 1: two and eleven. Are the thanks to head coach Urban Meyer,
44:37
Speaker 1: Joe Fortunado, Brent Reeber for Jeff Lagerman, I'm j P. Shadrick.
44:42
Speaker 1: Will hope to see at the bank this coming Sunday.
