0:21
Speaker 1: Jeff Lockman, and interim head coach Darryl Bevil joining us
0:25
Speaker 1: the final week of the regular season. It's here, Darryl,
0:31
Speaker 1: how are you holding up? You know, we're just continue
0:36
Speaker 1: to press forward and trying to do our best to
0:38
Speaker 1: you know, really to get a win. I mean, that's sorry.
0:40
Speaker 1: That's been our mission the last few weeks, and you know,
0:42
Speaker 1: we're just we're still continuing to push that. Daryl. I
0:45
Speaker 1: I remember going back to my rookie season, which you know,
0:48
Speaker 1: I kind of mentioned this just to kind of reflect
0:50
Speaker 1: on what maybe Trevor Lawrence is going through. And it
0:52
Speaker 1: was it was nine. I was playing with the New
0:55
Speaker 1: York Jets and first round pick, and Joe Walton was
0:58
Speaker 1: our head coach and and he is on his way out,
1:00
Speaker 1: and I just remember at the end of that year, going, Wow,
1:03
Speaker 1: I have never gone through anything like that, And and
1:07
Speaker 1: the rookie seasons are very difficult to go through. And
1:09
Speaker 1: I'm sure, uh, this past season has been very difficult
1:12
Speaker 1: for all involved, including your quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Yeah, I
1:15
Speaker 1: mean it's it is a very difficult situation that's that's
1:18
Speaker 1: been happening this season, you know there. I mean, there's
1:21
Speaker 1: been a lot of unforeseen things that that have happened
1:23
Speaker 1: this year. And you know, particularly, I mean you're asking
1:26
Speaker 1: about Trevor, a guy like that, you know, the first
1:27
Speaker 1: round pick, and um, the first pick really right, and uh,
1:31
Speaker 1: you know, to to go through the things that he's
1:33
Speaker 1: had to go through, one learning the lessons of football,
1:35
Speaker 1: but then all this other you know, basically the side
1:37
Speaker 1: show that we've had going on, Um, you know can
1:39
Speaker 1: be challenging and it can be challenging for all of us. Yeah,
1:42
Speaker 1: and just a mention of of how he's handled it.
1:45
Speaker 1: And I was actually writing a piece for Jaguars dot
1:49
Speaker 1: Com this week and I made the comment on it
1:52
Speaker 1: that you know, the one thing that you're not concerned
1:53
Speaker 1: about with Trevor Lawrence is how much of a pro
1:56
Speaker 1: that he is and how he's handled everything this year.
2:00
Speaker 1: And look, he's got things to work on. Everybody does
2:02
Speaker 1: in football, but the way that he handled himself and
2:06
Speaker 1: the way that he has been up in front of
2:08
Speaker 1: the camera, and I'm sure in front of you coaches
2:10
Speaker 1: and in front of his teammates has been absolutely impeccable
2:13
Speaker 1: from what I've seen. Yeah, I mean, he's not an
2:15
Speaker 1: outstanding job, Jeff. I mean, it's it is a hard
2:18
Speaker 1: situation that he's in. You know, number one, he's trying
2:20
Speaker 1: to take care of his play, but then all the
2:21
Speaker 1: other things that have happened to us along the way,
2:24
Speaker 1: and you know, he's he's been great every step of
2:26
Speaker 1: the way. And he's i mean he stood up where
2:28
Speaker 1: he's needed to stood up, stand up UM and and
2:30
Speaker 1: and really just taking responsibility for everything, and and uh,
2:34
Speaker 1: you know, there's he showed a lot of poise, he
2:36
Speaker 1: showed a lot of character, um in a really tough season.
2:39
Speaker 1: Like I asked you last week, Darryl, you know, they're
2:42
Speaker 1: they're tough weeks. And then there was last week with
2:45
Speaker 1: what at some point twenty seven different players were on
2:47
Speaker 1: the reserve COVID nineteen list going into the game last week.
2:51
Speaker 1: That changed as the game came along. Where do you
2:54
Speaker 1: stand now on Tuesday at least on the COVID nineteen list,
2:58
Speaker 1: much better off than we were last week. You know,
2:59
Speaker 1: I've I remember standing in Trent's office and we're looking
3:02
Speaker 1: at the board with all the names and uh, you know,
3:04
Speaker 1: there was a lot of empty spots up there, trying
3:06
Speaker 1: to figure out how we were going to fill them. Um.
3:08
Speaker 1: And then you know, as the week went on, there
3:09
Speaker 1: are some of the guys that were on the COVID
3:11
Speaker 1: list were able to come back, and you know, it
3:13
Speaker 1: just made for this huge juggling act. But this week,
3:15
Speaker 1: I think we're we're in a better situation. We still have, um,
3:18
Speaker 1: you know, over a handful of guys and trying to
3:21
Speaker 1: picture the board that that are still out at this point,
3:24
Speaker 1: but we think we'll get you know, um, you know,
3:26
Speaker 1: at least three or four of those guys back, maybe
3:28
Speaker 1: not all of them. Yeah. I don't ever remember a
3:31
Speaker 1: game and my broadcast career or as a player, whatever
3:35
Speaker 1: you want to call it, that that many changes have
3:38
Speaker 1: happened in a week, and I mean, thank goodness they
3:41
Speaker 1: put all the I guess you could say insurance kind
3:44
Speaker 1: of situations with the roster flexibility and everything last year.
3:47
Speaker 1: But I never thought after last year that we would
3:50
Speaker 1: see a team actually UNI utilized that many COVID elevations
3:54
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden in New England, you guys
3:56
Speaker 1: had that many. I mean that's obviously not the most
3:58
Speaker 1: optimum circumstance. Yeah, you really thought we were through it,
4:01
Speaker 1: you know, from last year, and that that we wouldn't
4:04
Speaker 1: we really wouldn't have to go back to that. But
4:05
Speaker 1: this year, Um, you know, this week it just attacked
4:08
Speaker 1: and really attacked our team, and UM, a lot of
4:10
Speaker 1: guys were Unfortunately we did have that. Um, it really
4:13
Speaker 1: affects everything, right, We had to practice different. I mean
4:16
Speaker 1: we're basically the whole week there was a lot of
4:18
Speaker 1: walk through so not getting the same tempo that you're
4:20
Speaker 1: trying to get, the full speed looks that you're trying
4:22
Speaker 1: to get. Um, guys playing the first this you know,
4:25
Speaker 1: a new position for the first time, basically introducing your
4:28
Speaker 1: teammates for the first time. You know, the guy m J. K. Scott,
4:31
Speaker 1: the punter, I mean we met him the night at
4:32
Speaker 1: the team at the team hotel, you know, so there
4:35
Speaker 1: was some some interesting things going on. Yeah, I can't
4:38
Speaker 1: imagine that Hey, by the way, my name's Bob. What
4:42
Speaker 1: do you do while I punt? Okay? Great? Yeah, not
4:44
Speaker 1: not exactly the most optimal circumstance. And and you guys
4:48
Speaker 1: ended up playing a football team that wasn't dealing with
4:50
Speaker 1: any issues obviously, looking to find a way to get
4:53
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, and a team that, uh, for the
4:56
Speaker 1: most part, has been doing it at a pretty high
4:58
Speaker 1: level for a long period of time. When you look
4:59
Speaker 1: at the Hill story of Bill Belichick, I'm in a
5:02
Speaker 1: tough place to be. Yeah, I mean about a well
5:04
Speaker 1: as well coached of a team as as you can find, right,
5:06
Speaker 1: and the team that had come off a couple of losses,
5:08
Speaker 1: so um, fighting for their playoff lives, really trying to
5:11
Speaker 1: get themselves right. And they came out and they really
5:13
Speaker 1: did that. They played very well. Obviously, you know, we
5:16
Speaker 1: didn't get any stops on defense, particularly early, and then offensively,
5:20
Speaker 1: you know, the one thing that we really harped on was,
5:22
Speaker 1: you know, we can stay in this game as long
5:23
Speaker 1: as we don't turn it over. And then you know,
5:25
Speaker 1: after that tip ball and kind of opened the floodgates,
5:27
Speaker 1: and you know, we threw a couple more to them, uh,
5:29
Speaker 1: and that that's a recipe for disaster. Yeah. That that
5:32
Speaker 1: that number for you guys this year, which is the
5:34
Speaker 1: turnover differential number. I mean when you when you talk
5:37
Speaker 1: about football, Darrow, you and I've been around in a
5:39
Speaker 1: long time, and if you're not winning that category, you're
5:41
Speaker 1: not winning football games. Yeah, you're you. You definitely can't
5:44
Speaker 1: win by turning over. And you know we've we've found
5:46
Speaker 1: ways to do that in in you know, too many
5:48
Speaker 1: different ways that whether it's you know, tip balls or
5:50
Speaker 1: you know, throwing all just all kind of ways that
5:52
Speaker 1: we're turning over. And you know that turnover number that
5:55
Speaker 1: you're looking at, it's you know, minus twenty two. I
5:57
Speaker 1: think it's where it's at, and uh, you know it's
5:59
Speaker 1: it's really an absurd number and something that you can't
6:02
Speaker 1: win when you're doing that. About the challenge of blocking
6:05
Speaker 1: out everything going on and just focusing on the week
6:08
Speaker 1: of preparation ahead. We're looking ahead a little bit now
6:11
Speaker 1: of the Indianapolis Colts. But you talked about this a
6:13
Speaker 1: little bit last week. All this COVID stuff going on,
6:15
Speaker 1: everything outside the building. You just gotta put the blinders
6:18
Speaker 1: on and the player is the same way to play
6:20
Speaker 1: for the team that's on the front, but there's a
6:23
Speaker 1: name in the back of the jersey too that matters
6:24
Speaker 1: when it comes down to a week a team. Yeah,
6:26
Speaker 1: I mean that that's really all that we can do
6:28
Speaker 1: right now. Right the playoffs are gone, UM, and we're
6:31
Speaker 1: trying to win a game. We're trying to block out
6:33
Speaker 1: the distractions. We want to go out and we really
6:36
Speaker 1: want to perform. Well. You know, these guys, UM have
6:38
Speaker 1: a lot of character about them. They care, but we
6:40
Speaker 1: have to put it together. And as you said, JP,
6:43
Speaker 1: you know, UM, it is for the Jaguars, but I
6:45
Speaker 1: you know, I preach these guys all the time. Everything
6:47
Speaker 1: that we do is being evaluated, and they have another
6:49
Speaker 1: opportunity to be evaluated and say, go out and play.
6:52
Speaker 1: And whether it's for our team or other teams, people
6:54
Speaker 1: will watch the tape and you know, you want to
6:56
Speaker 1: be able to put your best performance out there. Yeah.
6:58
Speaker 1: I go back and reflect back on my high school days. Jerold.
7:02
Speaker 1: My my high school head football coach was Ed Scott.
7:05
Speaker 1: When he used to get mad, he always had this
7:07
Speaker 1: vein that popped up on his head and he'd be
7:09
Speaker 1: going intensity and it was one of those things where
7:12
Speaker 1: that's what the game requires it requires intensity, requires focus,
7:16
Speaker 1: and you know it's great to talk about, Hey everybody
7:19
Speaker 1: needs professionals, and you got the name on the back.
7:22
Speaker 1: But football is a game that's tough to play when
7:24
Speaker 1: you don't have emotion and you don't have the commitment
7:26
Speaker 1: and and you might have a lot of uncertainty about it,
7:29
Speaker 1: isn't it. Yeah, there's no question. I mean, it is
7:31
Speaker 1: a game of passion and a game of emotion, and
7:33
Speaker 1: you you you have to you have to be able
7:35
Speaker 1: to have that. And as you know, Jeff, if if
7:37
Speaker 1: you don't and you go out just a little bit
7:39
Speaker 1: less than you're supposed to, Um, you can even get
7:41
Speaker 1: hurt in this game, you know, And you you've got
7:43
Speaker 1: to put your full effort into it. You gotta have
7:45
Speaker 1: your your mindset focused in on it or you know,
7:48
Speaker 1: you kind of let up and you know, things happen
7:50
Speaker 1: in the game where you can end up getting yourself hurt. So, um,
7:53
Speaker 1: you know, you really gotta stay focused. We'll take your
7:55
Speaker 1: time out, Darrel will come back in just a moment,
7:57
Speaker 1: and I want to ask you about how much other
8:01
Speaker 1: football you watch, being Bowl season and all, and of
8:04

8:39
Speaker 1: has been here. How much other football do you have
8:43
Speaker 1: time to watch or do you make time to watch
8:45
Speaker 1: this time of year? Um? I mean I love the
8:47
Speaker 1: game of football and I try, I do try to
8:49
Speaker 1: watch it, you know, this time of year. Sometimes the
8:51
Speaker 1: game ends up watching me, you know, if I have
8:53
Speaker 1: a minute to be able to sit there and watch it. Um.
8:55
Speaker 1: But yeah, I I try to catch the games. Um.
8:58
Speaker 1: You know that. You know some of those that call
9:00
Speaker 1: a playoffs fun to watch. Um. If you do get
9:02
Speaker 1: a chance to watch some other NFL games, it's always
9:04
Speaker 1: you know, it's always good to see what your what
9:06
Speaker 1: your colleagues are doing. Those other coaches that we've been
9:09
Speaker 1: around before that say, you know what, I can't watch
9:11
Speaker 1: the playoff games. I can't watch the Super Bowl. I
9:15
Speaker 1: can't watch any of this stuff because that means the
9:17
Speaker 1: Jaguars aren't in the thing. Do do you feel that
9:19
Speaker 1: way too? Well? I mean yeah, for for sure you
9:22
Speaker 1: kind of feel that way, you know. And um, you know,
9:24
Speaker 1: the way our seasons has gone is, you know, is
9:26
Speaker 1: not what any of us wanted or any of us expected.
9:28
Speaker 1: But um, you know, I still love the game, you know,
9:31
Speaker 1: and I still like to watch what other people are doing. Um,
9:33
Speaker 1: and so there, you know, I'll still catch myself watching it. Yeah.
9:36
Speaker 1: I can't get enough of the NFL anyway. And in
9:39
Speaker 1: college football maybe not so much. And uh, you know,
9:42
Speaker 1: Virginia is in a bowl game, which is once every decade.
9:45
Speaker 1: You know, I typically watch that. It's been a while,
9:50
Speaker 1: but uh look, uh do you dub Man? No? No,
9:53
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about some other program that might
9:56
Speaker 1: be not as good as as Wisconsin. Okay, And you
10:00
Speaker 1: guys just go to the Rose Bowl. No, not not
10:03
Speaker 1: this year. We did not go to the Rose Bowl. Um,
10:05
Speaker 1: but we played it. We did play in the bowl game.
10:07
Speaker 1: We won our Bowl game we beat s u UM.
10:09
Speaker 1: So I do follow the Badgers, I mean, very important
10:11
Speaker 1: team to me. You know, that's one of those college
10:13
Speaker 1: teams and we are in bowl games quite often. You know, well,
10:15
Speaker 1: I know you guys are, and I appreciate what it's like.
10:19
Speaker 1: I got reminded of that plenty by Don Davey, who
10:22
Speaker 1: was Wisconsin guy and he's still here in town, former
10:26
Speaker 1: Jaguar player and teammate of mine. Yeah. Yeah, he was
10:29
Speaker 1: a heck of a player. And Dary you, I mean
10:31
Speaker 1: you played in the Rose Bowl obviously, so that just happened.
10:36
Speaker 1: It was the season Rose Bowl. Okay, what was the
10:39
Speaker 1: outcome Badger's one? That was the first first Rose Bowl
10:42
Speaker 1: victory the Badgers had in the history of the school.
10:45
Speaker 1: And who did you play? Played U C L A J. J.
10:47
Speaker 1: Stokes team if you remember, Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was
10:50
Speaker 1: the first round draft pick of the San Francisco forty
10:52
Speaker 1: Niners I think the following springing. Very good player, yes, yeah,
10:56
Speaker 1: good player, all right. I think he said that that
10:58
Speaker 1: day he said a Rose Bowl record for catching is
11:00
Speaker 1: which actually broke our Our athletic director Pat Richter had
11:03
Speaker 1: the record until that day. What year was at like
11:07
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty something. I think it what might have been
11:10
Speaker 1: the sixty sixty three or something rose Ball would whatever
11:16
Speaker 1: that figured that it was in the sixty because I
11:18
Speaker 1: don't think Wisconsin even threw the football until like, um, yeah,
11:22
Speaker 1: they probably didn't. And and and when I was playing
11:25
Speaker 1: into you know, we ran the ball quite often as well. Yeah,
11:28
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. Darryl Bebel with us on the
11:31
Speaker 1: Jaguars Coaches Show. You you mentioned some of those playoff
11:35
Speaker 1: games and such, and you know, is it is you know,
11:37
Speaker 1: as an assistant coach in the NFL for twenty one years,
11:40
Speaker 1: at what point do you start looking ahead to like
11:43
Speaker 1: guys that might be in the draft in the future.
11:45
Speaker 1: Did you do? I mean, obviously the still season still
11:48
Speaker 1: going on. Do you just wait for that to happen
11:50
Speaker 1: and then go back and look at tape later? Yeah,
11:52
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not paying attention much to to that
11:54
Speaker 1: at all. Right now. You know, our our sole focuses
11:57
Speaker 1: is the season. You know, as we're in it, it's
11:58
Speaker 1: such a long season, and um, a lot of things
12:01
Speaker 1: going on, so really really keeping the focus there, and
12:03
Speaker 1: then you know, there's a lot of things that have
12:05
Speaker 1: to happen here at the end of the season. All right,
12:07
Speaker 1: So Darryl since the University of Wisconsin has been known
12:10
Speaker 1: for running the football. The greatest running back to ever
12:14
Speaker 1: play at the University of Wisconsin, who would it be, Well,
12:18
Speaker 1: it depends on how far you want to go back.
12:20
Speaker 1: I mean there's some really great players. You know, Alan
12:22
Speaker 1: Amici was was the Heisman guy that was that played there.
12:25
Speaker 1: But you know, Ron Dane had an outstanding career, Melvin Gordon,
12:28
Speaker 1: you know some of those names here in the uh,
12:30
Speaker 1: you know, in the more recent past. That's amazing. Wisconsin
12:37
Speaker 1: Taylor and we played this week. Yep, we're trying to
12:40
Speaker 1: you know, we we don't want to give him any
12:42
Speaker 1: props yet, you know until after we play. He's a
12:46
Speaker 1: really good back and uh and speaking of him, this week,
12:49
Speaker 1: it's gonna be one heck of a test. Last week
12:52
Speaker 1: against the New England Patriots, you got a football team
12:54
Speaker 1: that was needing to get a win to get into
12:57
Speaker 1: the playoffs with a little bit of help, which they got.
13:00
Speaker 1: And this week you are facing an Indianapolis coach team
13:03
Speaker 1: that is essentially in a playoff game this week. If
13:06
Speaker 1: they win, they continue on. Yeah. So I mean that's
13:08
Speaker 1: a big matchup for us, right, and um, you're saying
13:11
Speaker 1: that we're in a playoff game here, so we're excited
13:13
Speaker 1: about that, you know, and we wanna we wanna uh
13:16
Speaker 1: you know, do our best to to make it tough
13:17
Speaker 1: on them. Yeah, that's the that's when it comes down
13:20
Speaker 1: to it. You want to beat your division rivals and
13:22
Speaker 1: knocked them out of anything they have out in front
13:24
Speaker 1: of them. That that happens every week you play division rival,
13:26
Speaker 1: and the Jags have had some success against the Colts
13:28
Speaker 1: here in Jacksonville the last number of years. Um, So
13:31
Speaker 1: that's that's what it comes down to. When a when
13:33
Speaker 1: a team has it they have to get to you. You
13:35
Speaker 1: You gotta go get them, right, Yeah, I mean you
13:37
Speaker 1: know that's why we play these games in the NFL.
13:38
Speaker 1: I mean, any given Sunday, right, And that's that's got
13:40
Speaker 1: to be our our mindset and our mentality. They're coming
13:42
Speaker 1: into our house, you know. We you know, we hope
13:44
Speaker 1: our fans show up and and help the Jaguars out
13:47
Speaker 1: and uh make it really tough place for the Coast
13:49
Speaker 1: to play and that we can, uh, you know, get
13:51
Speaker 1: one more victory before we finish out this season. Daryl,
13:53
Speaker 1: what is the most important thing if you look at
13:56
Speaker 1: it from a from a preparation standpoint, because I mean
13:59
Speaker 1: obvious see that there. It's a difficult week. It's the
14:02
Speaker 1: last week of the season, and after this game there's
14:05
Speaker 1: obviously a lot of change and there's a lot of unknowns.
14:08
Speaker 1: What's the most important thing that you can relay to
14:11
Speaker 1: your football team this week and the preparation? Yeah, I
14:15
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna stick with the same message, Jeff. You know,
14:17
Speaker 1: it really is our mindset and as you go in
14:19
Speaker 1: this game, you have to have a mindset that you're
14:21
Speaker 1: that you're going out to win a football game. And
14:23
Speaker 1: if you have that mindset, then you end up preparing
14:25
Speaker 1: that way. And you know in your preparation you're not
14:28
Speaker 1: gonna take any shortcuts. You're not gonna, you know, have
14:30
Speaker 1: any of those thoughts come into your head that hey
14:32
Speaker 1: what am I doing next week? You know it's it's
14:34
Speaker 1: a one week season. We're preparing for this game. You
14:36
Speaker 1: know what, what are my tips? What are my assignments?
14:38
Speaker 1: Where where am I supposed to be? How do I
14:40
Speaker 1: get there? Um? And then go out and play out
14:43
Speaker 1: playing this game. And I'll give you a chance to
14:44
Speaker 1: perform well, but you've got to have your mindset right
14:47
Speaker 1: now and and with with the point of the season
14:50
Speaker 1: that you're at and where you were at with the
14:52
Speaker 1: New England Patriots game, even though you had a lot
14:55
Speaker 1: of roster changes that presented a lot of opportunity for
14:58
Speaker 1: guys that normally wouldn't be playing. For example, Walker Little,
15:01
Speaker 1: you got Daniel Thomas d T and then Cisco playing
15:04
Speaker 1: at safety, some guys even playing wearing by the way,
15:08
Speaker 1: the tight end that you got and uh from somebody's
15:11
Speaker 1: practice squad. I'm I'm thinking here, out of all those
15:14
Speaker 1: guys that played, I mean, is there a couple of
15:16
Speaker 1: guys that stood out They're like, hey, these guys did
15:18
Speaker 1: a really good job considering or just flat out they
15:21
Speaker 1: did a good job period. Yeah. I mean, first of all,
15:23
Speaker 1: you're excited to see those younger guys in there. You know, Walker,
15:25
Speaker 1: it did a nice job. You know, if you remember
15:27
Speaker 1: back to the Bills game, Um, he stepped in right
15:30
Speaker 1: at the last minute, played well. He played well again
15:32
Speaker 1: this week for US and which is really exciting for
15:34
Speaker 1: his future. Um, Cisco had a good game, just solid,
15:38
Speaker 1: made some made some nice plays. You know. Jordan Smith
15:40
Speaker 1: the first time that he was able to get into
15:42
Speaker 1: a game. You see him running down on kickoff. He
15:44
Speaker 1: looked fast. He was able to, you know, get down
15:46
Speaker 1: and make a tackle. There also just some opportunities to
15:49
Speaker 1: come off the edge. So um, it's exciting to see
15:52
Speaker 1: some of those younger guys get in there. We're returning
15:55
Speaker 1: just a moment and take one final look at the
15:57
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. The Jaguars Code Just So continues after this
16:01
Speaker 1: on Jaguars Radio. Wow Welcome back. The Jaguars Coaches Show
16:16
Speaker 1: continues right now j P. Shadrick with Jeff Logoman an
16:20
Speaker 1: interim head coach Daryl Bevil. The Jaguars and the Indianapolis
16:23
Speaker 1: Colts coming up in week number eighteen. That's a Coults
16:28
Speaker 1: team that you've seen obviously early in the season and
16:32
Speaker 1: it's a cult team that can take the football away.
16:35
Speaker 1: On defense, Darius Leonard is one of the best linebackers
16:40
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. He can punch the ball out.
16:43
Speaker 1: He's all over the football with interceptions. He is a
16:46
Speaker 1: real problem, can be a real problem all day for
16:49
Speaker 1: an offense to handle a guy like him. Yeah, I mean,
16:52
Speaker 1: as you as you just said, JP, I, if you
16:54
Speaker 1: watch him, you know he's got this great knack for
16:56
Speaker 1: being able to punch the ball out as as he's
16:58
Speaker 1: making a tackle, you know, and so you can see
17:00
Speaker 1: he has great awareness on the football, uh you know,
17:02
Speaker 1: great interceptions as well, so good hands. So we have
17:05
Speaker 1: to understand where he is but also understand how he
17:08
Speaker 1: likes to tackle. So we have to do a great
17:10
Speaker 1: job with our ball security, you know, and the and
17:12
Speaker 1: the way that we carry it. Whether you're whether you're
17:15
Speaker 1: a runner or even a receiver, you know you're coming
17:17
Speaker 1: across the middle, you're doing some of those you have to,
17:19
Speaker 1: you know, make sure you're aware where he is well.
17:21
Speaker 1: And and the stat that sticks out when we were
17:23
Speaker 1: talking about it earlier about the staff that you guys
17:26
Speaker 1: as a team haven't been able to been good at,
17:28
Speaker 1: which is turnover differential. The culture one of the best,
17:31
Speaker 1: are the best in the National Football League defensively number
17:34
Speaker 1: one with the number of takeaways that they have. And
17:37
Speaker 1: it's not just Darius Lennard, I mean DeForrest Buckner. Other
17:39
Speaker 1: guys are making interceptions as well. I mean, this is
17:41
Speaker 1: a football team that's winning the number one category for
17:44
Speaker 1: winning football. Yeah, and and that's the that's the formula
17:47
Speaker 1: for winning as as you just said, Jeff right, and
17:49
Speaker 1: they're they're doing a great job of taking it away.
17:51
Speaker 1: We're not doing a great job holding onto it. So
17:53
Speaker 1: that's obviously a number one key to victory this week.
17:56
Speaker 1: One thing that stands out, and uh, darre, I don't
17:59
Speaker 1: know if you can see this exactly, but I do
18:01
Speaker 1: game boards, you know, each and every week. You know,
18:04
Speaker 1: it's kind of like my flip card. And I'm sure
18:06
Speaker 1: you guys have something somewhere in coaching because you're evaluating personnel, etcetera.
18:10
Speaker 1: But it's my cheat sheets. So when I forget things,
18:12
Speaker 1: I can refer to it. Remember, but when when I
18:14
Speaker 1: prep for these games, and you guys face the Indianapolis
18:17
Speaker 1: Cults quite some time ago, when I was prepping for
18:19
Speaker 1: this game, their roster is almost completely intact from what
18:24
Speaker 1: it was the first meeting. That was shocking to me
18:27
Speaker 1: because that just doesn't happen. Yeah, and that's another recipe
18:30
Speaker 1: for success, right as you have those guys that are
18:33
Speaker 1: your starters and they're you know, they're able to carry
18:35
Speaker 1: through the season with you know, without any injuries and
18:37
Speaker 1: those kind of things. So, um, yeah, being able to
18:40
Speaker 1: keep that roster intact is really important. And you know,
18:43
Speaker 1: the continuity and being able to you know, put plays
18:45
Speaker 1: on top of plays and and they're they're doing a
18:47
Speaker 1: really nice job of that. In general, when you're facing
18:50
Speaker 1: a team for a second time, Uh, do you start
18:54
Speaker 1: with just that baseline who's on the other team? Still?
18:56
Speaker 1: I mean, where do you begin when you're starting preparations
18:59
Speaker 1: the second go round? Yeah? You kind of you kind
19:00
Speaker 1: of started the same place every week. You know, you
19:02
Speaker 1: want to make sure that you're you know, you're they're
19:04
Speaker 1: going through your checklist of you know, who's on their team.
19:07
Speaker 1: Who do we who do we look at? You know, Okay,
19:09
Speaker 1: this guy is a matchup problem for us. How do
19:11
Speaker 1: we take care of this matchup? Here's a matchup that
19:13
Speaker 1: we like, you know, and you start there also, you know,
19:16
Speaker 1: we got to make sure we look back at what
19:18
Speaker 1: we did against them last time, and then you know
19:20
Speaker 1: how they've attacked other people that are similar to us. There's,
19:22
Speaker 1: you know, just a lot of ways to be able
19:24
Speaker 1: to go at it. Flipping over to to the offensive
19:26
Speaker 1: side of football, we talked about Jonathan Taylor and it's
19:29
Speaker 1: pretty amazing the stat that he had going for so long,
19:32
Speaker 1: and that every time he rushed for a hundred yards
19:33
Speaker 1: and the Colts had him rush for a hundred yards
19:36
Speaker 1: they would win. And this past week that was the
19:38
Speaker 1: lone exception. I mean, that's an incredible stat but it
19:41
Speaker 1: just goes to show you how important running the football is. Yeah,
19:44
Speaker 1: and you know, and they have a great back there
19:46
Speaker 1: to be able to do it, and they have a
19:47
Speaker 1: couple of them as well, you know, and you can
19:49
Speaker 1: hand it to to either one of their guys and um,
19:51
Speaker 1: but running the football is a huge part of it.
19:53
Speaker 1: You know, it helps you, um, continue to possess the football,
19:56
Speaker 1: gives you time to possession and you can short the
19:58
Speaker 1: game a little bit. Um. But he's also getting big runs, right,
20:02
Speaker 1: He's getting huge chunk runs. They're still being able to
20:05
Speaker 1: find explosive plays through the run. Yeah. What I what
20:07
Speaker 1: I love about watching him and obviously don't want to
20:10
Speaker 1: watch this happen when when we're playing the guys, is
20:13
Speaker 1: how patient he is, but then also how explosive he
20:17
Speaker 1: can be once he identifies something. And that's always the
20:21
Speaker 1: trade of a home run back that you want to
20:22
Speaker 1: be able to have on your team as a guy
20:24
Speaker 1: that once he sees that he can go to the
20:26
Speaker 1: house because he's got the speed to do that. Yeah,
20:28
Speaker 1: I think it was. Was it the New England game
20:31
Speaker 1: where he ended up breaking the long one for a
20:33
Speaker 1: touchdown at the end where he you know, I had
20:35
Speaker 1: a nice hole. He cut back and then you could
20:37
Speaker 1: see him running and he wasn't really going full speed
20:40
Speaker 1: and as the defense was starting to catch up to him,
20:41
Speaker 1: you can see him hit that second gear. Um, so
20:44
Speaker 1: he's yeah, he's He's a great player and obviously elite,
20:47
Speaker 1: elite speed that can you know, can break away and
20:51
Speaker 1: and hit the home runs. So uh, you know, you
20:53
Speaker 1: gotta be on on point each time with being in
20:55
Speaker 1: your gaps. Darrell, final thoughts with you here. You jumped
20:58
Speaker 1: in and did the jag Wars Coaches Show the last
21:01
Speaker 1: few weeks. It's been a pleasure to be able to
21:03
Speaker 1: speak with you and talk a little more in depth
21:05
Speaker 1: than just a press conference setting each week. We had
21:08
Speaker 1: you as the offensive coordinator of course earlier in the season,
21:10
Speaker 1: but now we had a little chance the last month
21:12
Speaker 1: or so to to go a little bit deeper, and
21:14
Speaker 1: we appreciate your time and what you've been going through
21:17
Speaker 1: the last month that month and a half and what
21:19
Speaker 1: the team has been going through too, and we wish
21:21
Speaker 1: you to the best de luck this weekend. That's awesome.
21:25
Speaker 1: Daryl Bevil, the Jaguars interim head coach, with us. We're
21:28
Speaker 1: back with more in just a moment. It's the Jaguars
21:30
Speaker 1: Coaches Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. Wow, welcome back.
21:39
Speaker 1: The Jaguars Coaches Show continues right now. Welcome back. It's
21:42
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Coaches Show J P. Shatrick with Jeff Loghman
21:46
Speaker 1: our thanks to Darryl Bevill, the interim head coach. This
21:50
Speaker 1: is the final Jaguars Coaches Show on the schedule here
21:54
Speaker 1: in one season. But I meant that at the end
21:59
Speaker 1: with Darryl, you know, it's it's been nice talking to
22:02
Speaker 1: him and now he's getting able to to talk a
22:04
Speaker 1: little more ball with him, a little more in depth
22:06
Speaker 1: than just a press conference when he was the o C.
22:08
Speaker 1: And you know, it's a it's a tough situation he
22:11
Speaker 1: has been in, but I think he's handled it as
22:13
Speaker 1: well as you can. It's uh uh the stories he
22:17
Speaker 1: could tell, Oh I bet, yeah, no doubt, Yeah, yeah,
22:24
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know how many, you know, once
22:26
Speaker 1: the season kind of comes to a conclusion, if if
22:28
Speaker 1: more kind of crazy stories will come out from the
22:34
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer regime. I mean, who knows, but uh, you're
22:39
Speaker 1: kind of ready to just close that book and then
22:43
Speaker 1: start a new But there's definitely a lot of things
22:47
Speaker 1: to look forward to. But I think that everybody is
22:50
Speaker 1: at this point is just ready for the season to
22:54
Speaker 1: come to an end. For everybody on this football team
22:57
Speaker 1: to maintain their health so that you don't have James
23:02
Speaker 1: Robinson type injury in the last game, to a to
23:06
Speaker 1: a critical player of any kind, you know. So that's
23:10
Speaker 1: that's the one thing I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful for this week,
23:13
Speaker 1: And say, what do you want to see the last week?
23:15
Speaker 1: I don't want to see any key components of the
23:17
Speaker 1: future get hurt at all. I don't want to see
23:20
Speaker 1: anybody get hurt. I had one season where I got
23:24
Speaker 1: hurt in the last game of the season, and it's dunk.
23:27
Speaker 1: It was just I mean, because you know, you go
23:28
Speaker 1: into the off season and you're hurt, and then you're
23:31
Speaker 1: worrying about rehab and and that's not a fun place
23:34
Speaker 1: to be. You know, you want to be able to
23:35
Speaker 1: get away and and get rejuvenated both physically and mentally,
23:40
Speaker 1: and with an injury that that sets you back. It
23:43
Speaker 1: keeps you kind of keeps you kind of away from
23:45
Speaker 1: progressing forward at the rate or the the pace that
23:48
Speaker 1: you want to be able to have. Interesting to see
23:52
Speaker 1: how the rest of this week goes in terms of
23:55
Speaker 1: players coming off the reserve COVID nineteen list. As of
23:58
Speaker 1: this afternoon, there are still sixteen players, including to practice
24:02
Speaker 1: squad players on that list, and of course that can
24:05
Speaker 1: change is the days go along. Here well, and here's
24:08
Speaker 1: here's the other thing about this COVID list thing. Now,
24:11
Speaker 1: you know, we kind of and when we talk about this,
24:15
Speaker 1: we kind of said, well, you know, they're gonna be
24:17
Speaker 1: on it for a couple of days and they come off.
24:18
Speaker 1: And but you know, here's the we did. We had
24:20
Speaker 1: the story of of rock Armstead or Rockwell Armstead this
24:24
Speaker 1: past week to where he spent the entirety of the
24:28
Speaker 1: season on the COVID list and had serious physical hardship
24:32
Speaker 1: from it. And I I mean, we all have friends
24:36
Speaker 1: that have recently contracted the virus and have had different
24:40
Speaker 1: reactions and everybody's kind of different and the symptoms and uh,
24:45
Speaker 1: the ailes that they have. So out of all of
24:48
Speaker 1: this list, you hope that there's none that are impacted
24:52
Speaker 1: in a negative way that they're all okay, But I
24:56
Speaker 1: don't know what percent you'll get back this week. I
24:59
Speaker 1: mean it's you know, you could take six guys, put
25:03
Speaker 1: them on COVID or and they all get COVID, they
25:05
Speaker 1: all react differently. Take another six and that might be
25:08
Speaker 1: completely different with that sex. I mean, so you you
25:11
Speaker 1: just don't know. That's the that's kind of the unknown
25:14
Speaker 1: moving forward into this last game. Is that how everybody
25:17
Speaker 1: is going to react and will they be prepared to
25:19
Speaker 1: play in this last game. I don't know. There there
25:21
Speaker 1: may be some JP that that tests negative and that
25:26
Speaker 1: still can't play physically aren't ready to go, right, So
25:30
Speaker 1: I don't know what to wait and see. I mean
25:32
Speaker 1: I got a good friend of mine that tested positive
25:35
Speaker 1: last week on a Wednesday and said that, you know,
25:40
Speaker 1: and he was vaccinated the whole nine yards and he
25:43
Speaker 1: felt like I felt terrible. I talked to him today
25:46
Speaker 1: and he sounded better than h what he did last week.
25:48
Speaker 1: But I mean, he said he feels terrible. You know.
25:51
Speaker 1: That's I think six or seven, eight days later, you know,
25:55
Speaker 1: so it's tough man. We'll come back in a moment
25:59
Speaker 1: and get into Trent for Lawrence's day last week and
26:02
Speaker 1: what do you want to see in Week eight? Team
26:05
Speaker 1: from the rookie quarterback. This is the Jaguars Coaches Show
26:08
Speaker 1: on Jaguars Radio. Wow, welcome back. The Jaguars Coaches Show
26:18
Speaker 1: continues right now. This is the final Coaches Show of
26:23
Speaker 1: the season. We were into the calendar year twenty two.
26:27
Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick with Jeff Logerman interim head coach Darryl
26:31
Speaker 1: Bevil joining us in the first half hour. Well, the
26:34
Speaker 1: quarterback last week Trevor Lawrence three interceptions, had a late
26:37
Speaker 1: touchdown pass against the Patriots, and garbage time. Now it's
26:41
Speaker 1: on the week number eighteen, and it has been it's
26:46
Speaker 1: been a rocky season for him. Obviously, had some success
26:49
Speaker 1: early the middle part of the season, and then the
26:52
Speaker 1: last couple of months has just been a struggle really
26:54
Speaker 1: for the entire offense, but for Trevor Lawrence especially. Yeah,
26:57
Speaker 1: the best game that he had was a game in
27:00
Speaker 1: London in my opinion. I mean, first of all, it
27:03
Speaker 1: was a game that he threw for over three hundred yards,
27:06
Speaker 1: he had a touchdown pass, and you haven't had a
27:11
Speaker 1: performance that has been comparable to that really since then.
27:15
Speaker 1: And that and that's the disappointing part, because you know,
27:17
Speaker 1: you always want to see that progression of a quarterback
27:21
Speaker 1: get better, and if you look at it from a
27:25
Speaker 1: statistical standpoint, it really it went down. And that cannot
27:30
Speaker 1: be ignored. And I still believe that he is going
27:35
Speaker 1: to be a really good quarterback, but you have to
27:38
Speaker 1: have good things in place around him. And that's talent,
27:43
Speaker 1: that's coaching, that's organizational structure. There's a lot of things
27:47
Speaker 1: that need to because here's the reality. Tom Brady doesn't
27:53
Speaker 1: turn into the goat without a great situation. I believe that,
27:58
Speaker 1: and I understand that Tom Brady went to the Tampa
28:00
Speaker 1: Bay Bucks and won a Super Bowl. But Bruce Arians
28:04
Speaker 1: and Todd Bowles and those guys in Tampa Bay and
28:07
Speaker 1: Byron Left, which they know a thing or two about
28:11
Speaker 1: organizational structure and have done a pretty good job of
28:14
Speaker 1: making sure that the culture was right before Tom Brady
28:17
Speaker 1: arrived and so and Jason Licked wanted or light. I
28:21
Speaker 1: want to make sure give him credit because he's done
28:23
Speaker 1: a great job there as the general manager, and this
28:27
Speaker 1: organization needs to make sure that the the organization and
28:32
Speaker 1: the climate in the organization is structured to where this
28:38
Speaker 1: organization has a chance, and Trevor has a chance to
28:41
Speaker 1: succeed going forward. And that's gonna be imperative. And it's
28:44
Speaker 1: not about making all the right decisions for Trevor Lawrence.
28:47
Speaker 1: It's about making the right decisions for this organization going forward,
28:51
Speaker 1: and part of those will be obviously making things good
28:54
Speaker 1: for him and and and you can't you can't waste
28:58
Speaker 1: any time, and it's got to be. It's got to be.
29:02
Speaker 1: This organization needs to be made over. You know. When
29:05
Speaker 1: I say made over, you need to change the way
29:07
Speaker 1: things have gone. I mean, and it's not gonna be
29:10
Speaker 1: easy to do. You know, it's not gonna be easy
29:12
Speaker 1: to do. But I'm looking forward to to to the
29:15
Speaker 1: change and whatever that change, maybe hopefully everybody will embrace
29:19
Speaker 1: it and we all look forward to it. It's been noisy,
29:22
Speaker 1: I'll say that lately around the forget it. I mean, look,
29:26
Speaker 1: I mean, it's back to back seasons that that you've
29:29
Speaker 1: lost fifteen games, possibly losing fifteen games, and if if
29:36
Speaker 1: that happens, I mean, has that ever happened in NFL
29:40
Speaker 1: history where you've had thirty losses and in back to
29:43
Speaker 1: back seasons? I don't think that's happened, and it's happened
29:49
Speaker 1: before to where teams have had the first overall pick
29:53
Speaker 1: in back to back seasons. And and I understand that
29:56
Speaker 1: this is a seventeen game schedule, so you know, there's
29:58
Speaker 1: a little greater ants that you lose fifteen games in
30:01
Speaker 1: a row because you got seventeen games this year. But
30:03
Speaker 1: that's that's that's not a good number and it needs
30:08
Speaker 1: to be it needs to be obviously fixed. Let's come
30:12
Speaker 1: back to little Jaguars defensive talk. When we returned, it
30:17
Speaker 1: wasn't a lot to talk about last week man that
30:20
Speaker 1: the defense was really there was a lot of turns
30:24
Speaker 1: as far as defensive players taking turns, making some mistakes
30:30
Speaker 1: and then also not being at their best to where
30:33
Speaker 1: the pay roots were allowed to its essentially just glide
30:36
Speaker 1: through the game. This is the Jaguars Coaches Show on
30:40
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Radio Network. Wow, welcome back. The Jaguars Coaches
30:47
Speaker 1: Show continues right now. Welcome back j P. Shadrick with
30:50
Speaker 1: Jeff Loghman. Darryl Bebo joined us in the first half hour.
30:53
Speaker 1: This is the final Jaguars Coaches Show on the Jaguars
30:56
Speaker 1: Radio Network for one season. The Jaguars face Indianapolis Colts
31:02
Speaker 1: this Sunday. To go back to a conversation we're just having,
31:05
Speaker 1: we did a little research. Crack Research staff during the
31:08
Speaker 1: break Crack Research went back and looked at you know,
31:11
Speaker 1: and I hate doing this because it's it's just painful,
31:14
Speaker 1: but it's what it is. Whether the Jaguars are right now.
31:17
Speaker 1: Of course they were one in fifteen a year ago,
31:19
Speaker 1: so too, and fourteen now. And what we were talking
31:22
Speaker 1: about was how many teams in the history of the
31:25
Speaker 1: NFL have lost thirty games combined in two seasons with
31:30
Speaker 1: and that that's obviously, if the Jaguars were to lose
31:33
Speaker 1: this Sunday against the Colts, that would be fifteen losses
31:36
Speaker 1: last year, fifteen losses in a seventeen game schedule this year.
31:40
Speaker 1: So in the answer of how many teams have done this, well,
31:42
Speaker 1: the best we can tell, and I just started with
31:45
Speaker 1: the last two teams that were owing sixteen. It's the
31:47
Speaker 1: easiest place to start. So I started with the Detroit
31:50
Speaker 1: Lions two thousand and eight. They were owing sixteen. The
31:52
Speaker 1: next year they were two and fourteen. So that's two
31:54
Speaker 1: and thirty in a two season stretch. Two seasons after
31:58
Speaker 1: that they were in the layoffs because that's when Matt
32:01
Speaker 1: Stafford showed up. Okay, so you know they turned things
32:05
Speaker 1: around Cleveland brown somewhat. Yeah, well no, they were in
32:09
Speaker 1: the postseasons. They were around, I know, but everyone't like
32:12
Speaker 1: it was turned around and we're all of a a sudden
32:13
Speaker 1: now those in the Detroit lines became a perennial win.
32:16
Speaker 1: They went to three playoffs and the next one to
32:19
Speaker 1: three four or six seasons, and then not after that
32:24
Speaker 1: we know how it's gone since then. So the Cleveland
32:26
Speaker 1: Browns were three and thirteen and they were one in
32:30
Speaker 1: fifteen in twenty sixteen, so that's four and twenty eight
32:35
Speaker 1: by itself. Then they were owing sixteen the next year.
32:39
Speaker 1: That's one. That's yes, that's a lot. It's one and
32:43
Speaker 1: thirty one and two seasons. That's a lot. That's where.
32:48
Speaker 1: That's where this thing stands right now. Yeah, that's uh,
32:51
Speaker 1: that's not where you want to be, that's for sure.
32:55
Speaker 1: And hopefully hopefully uh this game here, at this last
33:00
Speaker 1: game can be competitive. Guys, stay healthy, especially key components
33:05
Speaker 1: that you know we're gonna be here for next year,
33:08
Speaker 1: and then you kind of see what happens after that
33:12
Speaker 1: because I mean change changes coming. We just don't know
33:14
Speaker 1: exactly what change is coming. Yeah, water, how deep or what.
33:17
Speaker 1: So the way to keep it competitive. One of the
33:21
Speaker 1: ways to keep it competitive is to play better defense
33:24
Speaker 1: than you did last week. Don't let Jonathan Taylor carve
33:27
Speaker 1: you up and run all over the field, because he
33:29
Speaker 1: is capable of doing that. He's got the longest touchdown
33:32
Speaker 1: round in the NFL this year, eighties three yards, and
33:36
Speaker 1: he's going over a hundred yards most every time out there.
33:38
Speaker 1: And I think the impressive thing about him is that
33:42
Speaker 1: he's got elite speed to where he runs away from
33:45
Speaker 1: people and he has the ability to make a long
33:47
Speaker 1: run like that. But he's like a two thirty pound back.
33:50
Speaker 1: I mean that's he's not a small guy. That's not
33:53
Speaker 1: very mean. When you think of great NFL backs in history,
33:57
Speaker 1: the only one that I can think of that tess
34:00
Speaker 1: speed like that, Fred Freddie t all Right. Fred was
34:04
Speaker 1: a two hundred and twenty five pound back, two hundred
34:06
Speaker 1: twenty eight pound back, and he had leite speed to
34:08
Speaker 1: go the distance at any time. And and here Jonathan
34:11
Speaker 1: Taylor has a similar type of ability. So it will
34:15
Speaker 1: be a challenge and it will be a game that
34:17
Speaker 1: if you do get out of your gaps, like the
34:19
Speaker 1: Jaguars got a few times out of their gaps this
34:22
Speaker 1: past weekend against the New England Patriots, if you get
34:25
Speaker 1: out of your gaps, Jonathan Taylor is gonna make you
34:26
Speaker 1: look silly. Now, that offensive line for the Colts is
34:30
Speaker 1: a is a good unit. They faced a good unit
34:32
Speaker 1: in New England, and New England probably doesn't get enough
34:35
Speaker 1: credit for the for the quality of their offensive line,
34:38
Speaker 1: but the interior three for the New England Patriots are
34:40
Speaker 1: really good now, really good. And I think that the
34:43
Speaker 1: tackle is they win is coming on. He was hurt
34:47
Speaker 1: early on in his career and I think he's become
34:49
Speaker 1: more than an adequate left tackle and he's a very
34:51
Speaker 1: good run blocker. He uh he does a really good
34:54
Speaker 1: job with movement and getting positioning on guys. And the
34:57
Speaker 1: right tackle is just a big man. Uh um. What's
35:00
Speaker 1: his name? Trent Brown? Yes, he's like three eight pounds, huge, huge,
35:09
Speaker 1: And the crazy thing is that the Raiders paid him
35:11
Speaker 1: a bunch of money and it didn't work out for
35:14
Speaker 1: him in Oakland. They release him, Patriots pick him right
35:17
Speaker 1: back up and are excited to have him. And he's
35:20
Speaker 1: back in the starting lineup for the for the New
35:22
Speaker 1: England Patriots. So defense has to step up and the
35:26
Speaker 1: play we'll see who's available for them. Of course, a
35:28
Speaker 1: couple of starters are out last week to wants Smoot,
35:31
Speaker 1: Caleb Chase Jack had come off the COVID list before
35:35
Speaker 1: the game. Getting Smoot back, I mean, look on on defense,
35:38
Speaker 1: if you can find a way if if Smoot is
35:40
Speaker 1: able to come back. Smoot right now is playing at
35:43
Speaker 1: the best level of any outside linebacker that you have.
35:46
Speaker 1: He is playing at a higher level than Josh Allen.
35:48
Speaker 1: He's playing at a high higher level than Caleb and
35:51
Speaker 1: Chase on So getting Smoot back would be big. Offensively,
35:55
Speaker 1: you obviously want to get your left tackle back, Cam
35:58
Speaker 1: Robinson her if you can get him back, would be great.
36:02
Speaker 1: BArch at right guard, be great to get him back.
36:05
Speaker 1: And uh, you know what would you do if if
36:08
Speaker 1: you had Cam back? Okay, do you maybe think about
36:12
Speaker 1: playing Walker a little right tackle? Juan Taylor has not
36:17
Speaker 1: had his best year, and do you consider doing that
36:20
Speaker 1: in the last game? Walker Little's has been a swing
36:23
Speaker 1: tackle and on game day, so could he play right tackle?
36:27
Speaker 1: I don't know. One way to find out play him right.
36:32
Speaker 1: If Cam is back, that's hypothetical situation. Obviously you don't
36:38
Speaker 1: like to talk about hypotheticals, but you know, if you're
36:42
Speaker 1: decision makers now you're you're looking at that. P r

36:57
Speaker 1: segment of our final Jaguars Coaches after this on Jaguars
37:01
Speaker 1: Radio wo Welcome back The Jaguars Coaches Show continues right now.
37:14
Speaker 1: The final few minutes for one season on the Jaguars
37:17
Speaker 1: Coaches Show. J P. Shadrick, Jeff Laghman, Daryl Bevil with
37:20
Speaker 1: us the first half hour. What are you doing Lot,
37:24
Speaker 1: I'm annoying Joe not just him? Okay, sorry, So Jaguars
37:31
Speaker 1: faced the Indianapolis Colts banging my microphone around in week
37:35
Speaker 1: number eighteen, and what a year this has been in
37:40
Speaker 1: so many of the wrong ways for the Jaguars organization.
37:44
Speaker 1: From of course, this used to be the Urban Meyers
37:46
Speaker 1: Show that all changed um and then the Jags are
37:50
Speaker 1: just not one. Since then, the last couple of months
37:52
Speaker 1: of not produced any winning results, They've been close a
37:56
Speaker 1: couple of times not close enough. Trevor Lawrences played dwindling
37:59
Speaker 1: some it. I think it's a fan base and uh
38:03
Speaker 1: an office and a front office and an ownership looking
38:07
Speaker 1: for the right path. And that's what they're looking for
38:10
Speaker 1: right now. Not an easy process to to determine exactly
38:15
Speaker 1: what that right right path is going to be because
38:19
Speaker 1: and here, and here's the thing there, there's not one
38:21
Speaker 1: formula that will only work. I mean, there's many formulas
38:25
Speaker 1: that have worked for different teams. You know, is the
38:28
Speaker 1: structure where you want it to be now? Or do
38:31
Speaker 1: you change the structure? You know, do you change some
38:35
Speaker 1: components of the system that you have in place? Do
38:38
Speaker 1: you do you clean house? I mean, there's all kinds
38:41
Speaker 1: of things that are I think the fan base is
38:44
Speaker 1: going to be curious to see what happens. And I
38:46
Speaker 1: think a lot of people even in the building are
38:49
Speaker 1: going to be curious to see what happens and where
38:51
Speaker 1: the direction of this franchise is going. Because it's not
38:54
Speaker 1: an easy decision. It's not and and you know, we
38:58
Speaker 1: add a lot of hope and optimism when all of
39:01
Speaker 1: this happened in the springtime. You get a new coach
39:04
Speaker 1: and you get a first overall pick quarterback who many
39:06
Speaker 1: thought and believe that's going to be a generational player.
39:09
Speaker 1: And then to be where we are at now, it's
39:12
Speaker 1: it's like a it's like a punch in the gut,
39:14
Speaker 1: and so now you you gotta recover and you've got
39:17
Speaker 1: to find a way to do things better absolutely could do.
39:21
Speaker 1: And that's uh. I was gonna use another term instead of,
39:24
Speaker 1: you know, punching the gut, I was gonna use a kicking.
39:26
Speaker 1: Kicking you're singing soprano after the kick is what you're saying.
39:30
Speaker 1: A kick somewhere, not where you want it, that's for sure.
39:34
Speaker 1: But that's the way it's felt, the way it's gone
39:37
Speaker 1: this year and then the last couple of seasons for
39:39
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. So we've seen all the reported names that
39:42
Speaker 1: are out there, coaching candidates and all that those interviews.
39:46
Speaker 1: Even up to today, according reports, some of those are
39:48
Speaker 1: going on and you'll continue to see those reports as
39:52
Speaker 1: the weeks move ahead. Yeah, and and the validity of
39:58
Speaker 1: some of those reports, I mean, I are they true
40:01
Speaker 1: or pete or some people throwing things on the wall
40:04
Speaker 1: to see if it sticks. But at some point, you know,
40:09
Speaker 1: I think the fan base wants to hear from Mr Khan,
40:13
Speaker 1: And when I say they want to hear from they
40:15
Speaker 1: want to They want to hear what his thoughts are
40:18
Speaker 1: on the season, on the plan moving forward. And I
40:22
Speaker 1: think that's at some point that's that needs to happen,
40:25
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be, I think, an important moment. And
40:30
Speaker 1: you know this organization, you want to end up having
40:32
Speaker 1: it and have the fan base feel like, Okay, it's
40:35
Speaker 1: headed in the right direction. And that's the part I
40:38
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be imperative for this team is to
40:41
Speaker 1: is to get that feeling back that we we have
40:45
Speaker 1: a chance to be headed in the right direction. I
40:48
Speaker 1: got a chance, just gotta go do it. And that's
40:51
Speaker 1: not because I mean, when you don't have a coach
40:53
Speaker 1: and you have a staff that is essentially in limbo,
40:58
Speaker 1: you don't have hope and direct him. So that's gonna
41:02
Speaker 1: be a an interesting off season. As soon as this
41:06
Speaker 1: game is over, what happens next, We'll have to wait
41:09
Speaker 1: and see logs. It's been a pleasure doing the show
41:12
Speaker 1: with you again. It's been a pleasure j P. And uh,
41:15
Speaker 1: not as much of a pleasure as I had hoped. Well,
41:18
Speaker 1: it's always gonna see you, but the rest of it
41:22
Speaker 1: has been tough. Joe Fortunato on the audio side, Brent
