0:02
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Urban Meyers Show. Show show former Jaguar
0:06
Speaker 1: Jeff Lockman and J. P. Shadrick discussed the latest Jaguars
0:10
Speaker 1: news with the head coach. The Urban Meyers Show starts
0:14
Speaker 1: right now and welcome in to the Urban Meyers Show
0:17
Speaker 1: on this Tuesday afternoon, JP Shadrick, Jeff Lockman, head coach
0:23
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer, as we recapped the Week five loss to
0:26
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. Coach, good afternoon to you, and let's
0:30
Speaker 1: let's look back at this thing. There are a few
0:32
Speaker 1: key moments early in that first half this past Sunday
0:35
Speaker 1: could have been a tighter halftime score, and then the
0:37
Speaker 1: opening drive for the Titans really put him ahead by
0:41
Speaker 1: three scores. There was a little rally in that late
0:43
Speaker 1: third into the fourth, just not enough to put together
0:45
Speaker 1: a full game. Last week, yeah, I thought the energy
0:48
Speaker 1: was great and all of a sudden, bang we have
0:50
Speaker 1: a turnover up fumble that went for six that we
0:53
Speaker 1: all felt that those not a football move and the
0:56
Speaker 1: ball should have been in complete. Let's keep playing, but
0:58
Speaker 1: we didn't. But the best part of that was Trevor
1:01
Speaker 1: and showing his maturity, the direction and identity of our offense.
1:07
Speaker 1: I was I'm very pleased with now. And I've said
1:09
Speaker 1: this many times. At the goal of of our offense
1:13
Speaker 1: is to be balanced to fifty two fifty and we
1:15
Speaker 1: I believe through for two fifty and we ran for
1:17
Speaker 1: two d so we're getting close, you know. And uh,
1:20
Speaker 1: the offense line, now we're down to starters, but our
1:22
Speaker 1: offense line has been very consistent. Our backs ran very hard.
1:26
Speaker 1: James had an excellent day. Uh, downfield blocking was good.
1:31
Speaker 1: And then Trevor, like I said, he is, Uh, his
1:33
Speaker 1: progress has been a very obvious and continue. So I
1:38
Speaker 1: really liked the identity of the offense. And after that turnover,
1:42
Speaker 1: you go down in your score. And then we missed
1:44
Speaker 1: the darn extra point, but uh, we're right back that.
1:46
Speaker 1: We're right back in it. And that was a long,
1:49
Speaker 1: uh you know, a long drive and very physical drive
1:52
Speaker 1: running the ball. I thought that drive that was the
1:55
Speaker 1: answer to the fumble that Arnold had I thought was
1:58
Speaker 1: very impressive. You got a fifty eight yard run by
2:01
Speaker 1: James Robinson that set it up, which was an outstanding
2:04
Speaker 1: effort by James, but also the blocking upfront was tremendous.
2:07
Speaker 1: I mean, you never want to start a game with
2:09
Speaker 1: a turnover. Urban, But the way your offense answered to
2:12
Speaker 1: get it back I thought was significant. Well, there's a
2:15
Speaker 1: lot of ways to measure Jeff, you know this as
2:17
Speaker 1: well as anybody, especially I know kind of player you
2:19
Speaker 1: were is the character of your team is when you
2:22
Speaker 1: get smacked right in the face, and we got smacked
2:24
Speaker 1: and to see the old line come out there, and um,
2:29
Speaker 1: you know, you look at this game and you really
2:32
Speaker 1: felt like we controlled the line of scrimmage. We held
2:34
Speaker 1: one of the best backs in the NFL to uh,
2:37
Speaker 1: you know, held him in check for a good portion
2:40
Speaker 1: of the game. And then offensive line wise, you know,
2:42
Speaker 1: we ran the ball on a ramball for two d
2:44
Speaker 1: yards against good defense, so that usually indicates you're gonna win.
2:49
Speaker 1: But we couldn't get him off on third down. We
2:51
Speaker 1: got beat man coverage, you had a couple of missed assignments,
2:54
Speaker 1: and um, and uh that that you know, whenever you
2:57
Speaker 1: give up seven points like we did to start the game,
2:59
Speaker 1: that's off to overcome that fifty eight yard run by
3:02
Speaker 1: James Robinson, it really involves the offensive line having combo
3:06
Speaker 1: blocks and and Urban. Many people talk about Lineman's ability
3:10
Speaker 1: to get to the second level, and Leonard was able
3:13
Speaker 1: to get up on one linebacker and then bart and
3:15
Speaker 1: Juwan Taylor were able to take the defensive tackle up
3:18
Speaker 1: to that second level linebacker on their side. I mean,
3:21
Speaker 1: James Robinson, I'd like to say what a great reed
3:23
Speaker 1: he had, and it was. It was a great cut.
3:24
Speaker 1: But I mean that combo blocks by the guards center
3:28
Speaker 1: on the left and then the guard tackle on the right.
3:30
Speaker 1: We're big time, big time man. Like you said that,
3:32
Speaker 1: the fine line is don't release the downs too early.
3:36
Speaker 1: And then for the listeners, that downs is obviously the
3:39
Speaker 1: defensive lineman and that's the skill. How hold how long
3:43
Speaker 1: can you hold it down? And here's the thing that
3:45
Speaker 1: James does very well, Jeff, he holds. He actually makes
3:49
Speaker 1: that block for the lineman a lot of time. And
3:51
Speaker 1: we would always say, you know, you're a jump cut player.
3:54
Speaker 1: You don't take open seams because open seams aren't really
3:57
Speaker 1: open at times. You stay behind that double team him
4:00
Speaker 1: as long as possible because that draws the backer to
4:03
Speaker 1: the alignment. And they're that they're doing that very well. Hey,
4:07
Speaker 1: coacherman Meyer with us on the Urban Meyers Show. Staying
4:10
Speaker 1: on the offensive side here, Dan Arnold had six catches
4:13
Speaker 1: in the game. Sixty four yards. Two other tight ends
4:16
Speaker 1: had a catch, including Hollister for the touchdown in the
4:19
Speaker 1: first half and working those guys in and you talked
4:22
Speaker 1: about it last week when Arnold showed up, he had
4:24
Speaker 1: a couple of catches, showed a little burst. He was
4:27
Speaker 1: a big piece of the offensive planning last week. He
4:29
Speaker 1: is he's a unique skill set. You know, the whole
4:32
Speaker 1: mentality of offense is obviously balanced, but also matchups, and
4:36
Speaker 1: he's a legitimate matchup guy. He's a h hurdler in college.
4:41
Speaker 1: He's still got a lot of football ahead of him.
4:44
Speaker 1: And uh, we identified him and he was my favorite
4:48
Speaker 1: tight end in free agency when when we were going
4:51
Speaker 1: through it. I just love his athleticism, I love his speed.
4:54
Speaker 1: And you know, you figure that's when you have you
4:56
Speaker 1: have three receivers in the tight end, your fourth best
4:58
Speaker 1: cover guy on defense usually looked on your tight end
5:01
Speaker 1: and uh, he's a good matchup for that. An opportunity
5:04
Speaker 1: to make a takeaway defensively, shot Griffin has that ball
5:08
Speaker 1: right in his hands and he's had a couple of
5:10
Speaker 1: them this year, and that one was tough just because
5:12
Speaker 1: it could have been nothing but green pastures out in
5:15
Speaker 1: front of them on his way to the end zone.
5:17
Speaker 1: And and that's gotta be tough. I mean, a defense
5:19
Speaker 1: right now that's struggling to find a way to get takeaways.
5:22
Speaker 1: To have a missed opportunity like that hurts. I can't
5:25
Speaker 1: say that I ever remember being in a situation like this. Uh.
5:29
Speaker 1: And that is that there are habit opportunities and um
5:33
Speaker 1: that we haven't capitalized on it. And then you go
5:35
Speaker 1: out the practice and we have turnover circuit. We I
5:38
Speaker 1: mean they're chasing, you know, because it's a lot of
5:40
Speaker 1: its offense defense during practice chasing the guys trying to
5:43
Speaker 1: punch the ball out, rip the ball out and uh.
5:47
Speaker 1: And the game of football is you gotta make your
5:49
Speaker 1: own opportunities. But usually when you get one, you get two,
5:51
Speaker 1: then you get three. Coming waves. We'll come back in
5:54
Speaker 1: a moment and a little more on the defensive side
5:56
Speaker 1: when we return. This is The Urban Meyers Show on
5:59
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Dio Network. Wow, Welcome back The Urban Meyers
6:08
Speaker 1: Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back the
6:12
Speaker 1: Urban Meyers Show, rolling along JP, Shadrick, Jeff Blagerman, Head
6:15
Speaker 1: Joe Jerban Meyers, Jaguars Game Day broadcasts are presented by
6:18
Speaker 1: Vicestar Credit Union. We continue on defense, and you know,
6:23
Speaker 1: looking through the numbers in this game, Josh Allen had
6:25
Speaker 1: a big tackle game, seven of those, a half a sack,
6:28
Speaker 1: hit the quarterback a couple of times. Caleb and Jason
6:31
Speaker 1: might have had his best all around game as a Jaguar,
6:34
Speaker 1: six tackles, a sack, nearly had that sack fumble that
6:38
Speaker 1: we discussed there. You you said it was a mandate
6:40
Speaker 1: to get to the quarterback last week. They got home
6:43
Speaker 1: a few times in this game. Last week. Yeah, they
6:46
Speaker 1: got home a few times. But we could always be better.
6:48
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes you know that the combination of past
6:51
Speaker 1: defense is especially when you bring five. If you bring five,
6:55
Speaker 1: you gotta get there. You gotta get there in about
6:57
Speaker 1: one point five two point five seconds because there's no
7:00
Speaker 1: help in the back. You know, your your whole players
7:03
Speaker 1: are gone and it's single coverage across the field. So yes,
7:07
Speaker 1: there was pressure, especially in a second half. But we
7:11
Speaker 1: can we can. We can still be so much better.
7:14
Speaker 1: And the second half the second Titans drive which smooth
7:18
Speaker 1: got the sack. I thought that was a huge play
7:20
Speaker 1: because two reasons one, it took the Tennessee Titans out
7:23
Speaker 1: of field goal range. And then also your offense answered
7:27
Speaker 1: with a score, unable to get the two point conversion,
7:30
Speaker 1: but nonetheless it kind of regained a little momentum there.
7:33
Speaker 1: And that's how Sacks can do that. I thought smooth
7:34
Speaker 1: played really hard other two and and and Jeff that
7:37
Speaker 1: the one thing about momentum in our stadium. Our hats
7:41
Speaker 1: off on behalf of our team and a staff. I mean,
7:44
Speaker 1: my gosh, the crowd was into it there, Jacked, and uh,
7:47
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen. And our fans are fantastic.
7:52
Speaker 1: And Sacks energizes obviously, energize the stadium your third down
7:57
Speaker 1: along and and I felt that everybody fault. Actually I
8:00
Speaker 1: took my headshots off a few times because I wanted
8:02
Speaker 1: to feel that stadium. And we did. And now we
8:06
Speaker 1: got to start answering a bell and get a darn win. Hey,
8:08
Speaker 1: coach Reman wire with us on the Urban Myers Show.
8:11
Speaker 1: Staying on defense. One final thought here that that's late
8:14
Speaker 1: third into the fourth quarter stretch after Henry's touchdown round
8:18
Speaker 1: to open the the second half. The next three drives,
8:21
Speaker 1: defense gets off the field and gave this team a
8:24
Speaker 1: chance to really try to claw back in the game offensively. Unfortunately,
8:27
Speaker 1: we know what happened on the other side, but you know,
8:29
Speaker 1: it didn't go so well in the first half defensively,
8:32
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden when they needed to
8:34
Speaker 1: they had some stops in in some key moments. Unfortunately,
8:37
Speaker 1: just didn't work out for the defense in this game.
8:39
Speaker 1: It did not, but the defense gave us a giant
8:42
Speaker 1: chance when the offense hit Levisk and he took it
8:45
Speaker 1: all the way down there and we get down to
8:46
Speaker 1: the fourth and one, you score there, and now it's
8:49
Speaker 1: a five six point game, And I, like all of Jackson,
8:53
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see that number sixteen with the
8:55
Speaker 1: ball in his hand to go win a game, because
8:57
Speaker 1: I think you'll do it in that situation where he
8:59
Speaker 1: ended up picture falling short on downs. You know, hindsight's
9:02
Speaker 1: always urban, but but if you could do it all
9:05
Speaker 1: over again, would you do something differently there? Well, the
9:08
Speaker 1: conversation as Snake came up and uh, you know, our
9:12
Speaker 1: coaches on offense felt we have not done it enough
9:15
Speaker 1: live uh to do that and uh um, of course
9:20
Speaker 1: we missed a block and we didn't get we didn't score,
9:22
Speaker 1: and that's two weeks in a row, and that's something
9:24
Speaker 1: that I'm angry. Everybody's angry, you know. That's that's you
9:28
Speaker 1: get down there and go score. And we you know,
9:30
Speaker 1: had a couple opportunities before that one play and then
9:33
Speaker 1: Trevor's effort was ridiculous on the Q draw and I
9:37
Speaker 1: thought he was in and then but you gotta score there.
9:40
Speaker 1: That's the tough one. We're talking about some of the calls,
9:42
Speaker 1: the fumble earlier in the game from Arnold, the ball,
9:46
Speaker 1: you know, empty hand play. There were a bunch of
9:48
Speaker 1: close calls like that in this game and frustrating because
9:51
Speaker 1: they don't go your way. Um, you know, how do
9:54
Speaker 1: you go about that? Do you do you take a
9:56
Speaker 1: look again on Monday Tuesday? Do you talk to the league?
10:00
Speaker 1: How how does that work when you're reviewing tape and
10:02
Speaker 1: going through some calls that are kind of up in
10:04
Speaker 1: the air. I've been through that so many times, and
10:07
Speaker 1: you know what, move on. You can't if they're not
10:09
Speaker 1: going to change it, and it would be bad as
10:11
Speaker 1: the leaders sit there and worry about that, you know,
10:12
Speaker 1: and make your own breaks, you know, if you get
10:15
Speaker 1: there just to touch sooner than there's no conversation about it.
10:19
Speaker 1: If you secure the ball immediately after the the catch,
10:22
Speaker 1: then there's no you know, you can control what you
10:24
Speaker 1: can control. And you know, when I was a young coach,
10:26
Speaker 1: I was nuts about that. And you're wasting all your energy,
10:30
Speaker 1: you know, you know, we call it focused energy around here.
10:32
Speaker 1: All your focused energies, go find a way to you know,
10:34
Speaker 1: just execute your assignment and go win a game. And
10:37
Speaker 1: part of focusing that energy is mindset and that's always
10:40
Speaker 1: a big part of any team. Psyche. Right now, how
10:43
Speaker 1: is your team? I mean, it's not easy losing football
10:46
Speaker 1: games in the National Football League and you've started out
10:48
Speaker 1: on five and how are they doing from that standpoint? Well,
10:52
Speaker 1: the there's two components to win in a game, and
10:55
Speaker 1: one's work ethic and the other is belief. And if
10:58
Speaker 1: you have belief without work ethic, you know, just have
11:02
Speaker 1: a team that hopes. You know you don't. You're not
11:03
Speaker 1: gonna win because you you don't work hard. If you
11:06
Speaker 1: have work ethic without belief, you just have a bunch
11:09
Speaker 1: of hard working guys. And I believe that's what we've
11:11
Speaker 1: had here, you know, we because you can check the boxes.
11:14
Speaker 1: You know, you guys have seen practice and our work ethic,
11:18
Speaker 1: uh is really good? Is really good? Now? How I
11:22
Speaker 1: know this is deep conversation, but how do you get belief?
11:25
Speaker 1: Belief is different than faith. Belief is when you see it.
11:29
Speaker 1: I know that Agnew can take that thing a hundred yards.
11:31
Speaker 1: You know why we've seen it. That's why you can
11:33
Speaker 1: see those guys go as hard as they can are.
11:36
Speaker 1: I think are two tackles. I think especially Cam Robinson's
11:38
Speaker 1: playing at a very high level. And so the belief
11:41
Speaker 1: that Travor is gonna have time from the offense line.
11:44
Speaker 1: You can see his comfort in the pocket. So work
11:48
Speaker 1: ethic plus belief is how you're gonna win games. And
11:50
Speaker 1: we're still getting through that belief part of it. Can
11:53
Speaker 1: we you know, do we believe that the players believe
11:56
Speaker 1: in each other in this in this situation, that they
11:58
Speaker 1: got each other's back. Once we get that, I think
12:00
Speaker 1: we're gonna war a bunch of games. Urban, when we return,
12:03
Speaker 1: will go across the pond to London and look at
12:05
Speaker 1: next week's game against the Miami Dolphins. This is the
12:08
Speaker 1: Urban Meyers Show on Jaguars Radio. Wow, welcome back. The
12:22
Speaker 1: Urban Meyers Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome
12:26
Speaker 1: back J P. Shatrick, Jeff Logaman, head coach Urban Meyer.
12:30
Speaker 1: The Jaguars are headed to London Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to
12:33
Speaker 1: face the Miami Dolphins in Week six. Well, Urban, what
12:37
Speaker 1: what is your history traveling to the UK? First of all,
12:40
Speaker 1: and I know there were a lot of offseason, preseason
12:44
Speaker 1: meetings and planning and ideas. It's a franchise, obviously it's
12:48
Speaker 1: done in a few number of times throughout the years.
12:50
Speaker 1: But you're new to the process. Here take us through
12:53
Speaker 1: getting ready to execute this trip. My only opportunity was
12:58
Speaker 1: I was at Notre Dame. We went to double and
13:00
Speaker 1: Ireland and played and um, that was so long ago,
13:03
Speaker 1: and I certainly had zero input. I was a position
13:05
Speaker 1: coach and sitting a sitting a seat on the chair
13:08
Speaker 1: on the plane, get there and coaching, come out, come home. So, uh,
13:13
Speaker 1: this organization knows how to do it. Brandon Linder and
13:16
Speaker 1: some players were very involved in the process of deciding
13:21
Speaker 1: whether to go out early in a week, later in
13:22
Speaker 1: a week, and they we all put together schedule. The
13:26
Speaker 1: players are very involved in it. And uh, like I said,
13:29
Speaker 1: the Jaguars have a a pretty good under you know,
13:32
Speaker 1: obviously very good understanding of this trip. And it's amazing
13:36
Speaker 1: what has gone into some of those trials and tribulations
13:39
Speaker 1: that this organization has gone through through the years and
13:41
Speaker 1: try to figure out the best formula. They're doing sleep
13:43
Speaker 1: studies and and everything else that is involved. And I'm
13:46
Speaker 1: sure that you've gathered all that information because it's a
13:49
Speaker 1: wide range of knowledge, it is. And you know, the
13:51
Speaker 1: key is keeping them awake when you get there. And
13:54
Speaker 1: I remember that from trips to Hawaii when I was
13:56
Speaker 1: in the Mountain West Conference. Uh, that that that's key,
14:00
Speaker 1: so you get good nights sleep. So we're working on
14:02
Speaker 1: things and uh, but we have you know, I'm so
14:05
Speaker 1: proud of our sports performance operation here. I think it's
14:08
Speaker 1: the best in the NFL. And uh, we're gonna really
14:11
Speaker 1: rely on them. You're getting ready to face the Miami
14:13
Speaker 1: Dolphins team coached by Brian Flores, former assistant coach under
14:17
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, and the Miami Dolphins have been struggling lately.
14:20
Speaker 1: They've got a different quarterback in then they started the
14:23
Speaker 1: season out with Jacoby Brissette. But certainly a football team
14:27
Speaker 1: that you guys should play well against. Yeah, there's Uh,
14:31
Speaker 1: they're going through some similar issues that we're going through.
14:34
Speaker 1: The one issue at the quarterback. Brissette even uh pulled
14:38
Speaker 1: his hamstring a little bit, but he returned. They have
14:40
Speaker 1: very talented skill on offense running they don't you know,
14:45
Speaker 1: the rushing attack right now is not strong, but they're
14:47
Speaker 1: throwing the ball pretty decent. Obviously if two it comes back,
14:50
Speaker 1: he's a dynamic player. On defense, Uh, they got very
14:53
Speaker 1: good players. They have a defensive line that's pressures you.
14:59
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what you know. The one the
15:01
Speaker 1: quarterback they faced last week, Tom Brady. When you sit
15:05
Speaker 1: and watch every snap that quarterback, you know, if there's
15:07
Speaker 1: any argument about the greatest of all time quarterback, that guys.
15:11
Speaker 1: You know, as I'm sitting there breaking down film and
15:13
Speaker 1: I just started running the back on how in the
15:15
Speaker 1: world did you get that ball out so fast? So, uh,
15:18
Speaker 1: they ran into a bus with Tom Brady. He still
15:20
Speaker 1: got it. Apparely he's better. He's better than he was before.
15:24
Speaker 1: But I've studied him for many, many years and his
15:27
Speaker 1: velocity and you know, like this is not the Tom
15:29
Speaker 1: Brady show, but he's a good player. Well, if we
15:32
Speaker 1: can we can go a little longer on it. If
15:33
Speaker 1: you like, I mean, it is. It is remarkable to
15:35
Speaker 1: watch that and you know, obviously that's twenty plus years
15:39
Speaker 1: in the NFL to get to that point and do that. Um,
15:43
Speaker 1: let's compare a little bit to your quarterback, Trevor Lawrence.
15:46
Speaker 1: It's early for him. Obviously, there are small steps along
15:50
Speaker 1: the right path so far, early in his rookie season.
15:53
Speaker 1: What's the next step for Trevor Lawrence? You know, I
15:55
Speaker 1: grabbed Trevor. I have such respect for him, and you know,
15:58
Speaker 1: he's got the weight of uh nine oh four on him,
16:01
Speaker 1: He's got a franchise, you know, he's and he's such
16:04
Speaker 1: a wonderful person. I just grabbed him yesterday and I said,
16:07
Speaker 1: what more can we you know? Is there something more?
16:09
Speaker 1: And obviously we got to continue to build our team
16:11
Speaker 1: around him. Um, but he's got a great relationship with
16:15
Speaker 1: his coaches, with Schottenheimer, is seeing the game better. You
16:18
Speaker 1: can see the progress, you can see his comfort. We
16:21
Speaker 1: want to be a mixture of balanced between pro style
16:25
Speaker 1: and also spread because that's first of all, it's hard
16:28
Speaker 1: to defend, and second well he's very good at it.
16:31
Speaker 1: And um, he's in a good place, you know, and
16:34
Speaker 1: he's he's not used to losing. That that's I worry
16:36
Speaker 1: about him just because but he is the most you know,
16:39
Speaker 1: of all the fortunate that I've coached so many great players,
16:43
Speaker 1: he might be the most composed I've ever been around.
16:47
Speaker 1: It's great to hear him talk football after a game,
16:49
Speaker 1: before a game, and I guessid dar and listening to
16:51
Speaker 1: that guy all day long. So now and five to
16:53
Speaker 1: start the year, coach, I know, the winning results are
16:56
Speaker 1: gotta come at some point. Um, you still have the
16:58
Speaker 1: team kind of together, are they? What was the reaction
17:02
Speaker 1: last week? Getting back to it this week? There's still
17:04
Speaker 1: a lot of football left to be played this season, coach,
17:07
Speaker 1: excellent locker room? Um, you know, great, it's easy to
17:11
Speaker 1: evaluate the locker room and how they go out to
17:13
Speaker 1: practice every day, how they interact with their coaches, staff
17:16
Speaker 1: and amongst each other. And they're there. Now, we just
17:18
Speaker 1: gotta win at damn game. I mean we gotta you know,
17:21
Speaker 1: just the details to you know this In college world,
17:25
Speaker 1: you know, the big bowl games, national championship games, and
17:27
Speaker 1: the rivalry games. You know, it's all the detail that
17:31
Speaker 1: the most detailed him with the team would win. And
17:33
Speaker 1: in professional footballs every week, the most detailed team is
17:36
Speaker 1: gonna win and we're not there yet. And uh, you
17:39
Speaker 1: have new system on offense, new system on defense. But
17:42
Speaker 1: now with we're five into it, it's time to detail
17:44
Speaker 1: up and go win this game. But I've got some
17:46
Speaker 1: advice for you. Sleep on the plane going over. You
17:50
Speaker 1: gotta sleep on the plane or your toast. I gotta
17:53
Speaker 1: get some sleep period. But you're right. Okay, sounds good, coach,
17:56
Speaker 1: appreciate your time. We'll talk to you head coach. Every
17:59
Speaker 1: mind are out of here back with Moore. It's the
18:01
Speaker 1: Urban Meyers Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back.
18:12
Speaker 1: The Urban Meyer Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network.
18:16
Speaker 1: Well you are back. This is the Urban Meyers Show.
18:19
Speaker 1: I'm J. P. Shadrick. That's Jeff Lagaman. That was head
18:23
Speaker 1: coach Urban Meyer joining us before the Jaguars face the
18:27
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins in week number six, you know, and and
18:31
Speaker 1: it's tough. They're they're on this losing skid. It felt
18:34
Speaker 1: like they took a little bit of a step back
18:36
Speaker 1: as a team. That's past Sunday just overall. And now
18:40
Speaker 1: you gotta take this long trip together and try to
18:42
Speaker 1: figure it out. Another team that needs it you know,
18:45
Speaker 1: the parting comment there was, Hey, urban, Um, you know,
18:49
Speaker 1: sleep on the plane the first thing you have to sleep,
18:53
Speaker 1: have you so tell like they're they're fighting to go
18:55
Speaker 1: through it because he's like, I need some sleep anyway. Yeah,
18:58
Speaker 1: you know, look, that's that's life of coaching, and when
19:01
Speaker 1: when you don't win, that certainly adds to it. And uh,
19:04
Speaker 1: you know, looking also, last week was a tough week,
19:07
Speaker 1: you know, for the organization, for him, and I'm sure
19:10
Speaker 1: that that added to it a little bit. But sometimes
19:14
Speaker 1: a road trip can be good for a team. It's
19:20
Speaker 1: a different look, it's a different environment, it's a way
19:24
Speaker 1: to bond and to spend time together with teammates, etcetera.
19:28
Speaker 1: So hopefully that can be a little bit of this
19:32
Speaker 1: for this football team. Yeah. So there's a you know,
19:36
Speaker 1: sitting on that beautiful grove estate up about an hour
19:40
Speaker 1: north of London out in the countryside. Is that where
19:42
Speaker 1: they're staying at the grove? Yeah, they're staying there both
19:45
Speaker 1: the Thursday night, well yeah, I'm sorry, Friday night, Saturday night,
19:49
Speaker 1: and then go on Sunday morning driving from the grove
19:51
Speaker 1: all the way down to Spurs to play that game. Yeah.
19:54
Speaker 1: I I didn't Uh. I always liked it because we
19:58
Speaker 1: stayed there years ago, and um, in fact, I don't
20:02
Speaker 1: think we actually stayed there. Some of the staff we
20:04
Speaker 1: stayed at a different hotel. But I always liked it
20:07
Speaker 1: when you fly in and you go literally right by
20:11
Speaker 1: the stadium. But because it's a different venue now, it's
20:14
Speaker 1: different because when it was at Wembley, you would go
20:17
Speaker 1: and stay at the hotel that was literally right beside Wembley,
20:21
Speaker 1: and uh, and you were right there and so you
20:24
Speaker 1: didn't have to move, because I think that's also something
20:27
Speaker 1: that's not perfect, is that you go and say one
20:30
Speaker 1: place for a little bit and then you go to
20:31
Speaker 1: another place. I always liked it once you go there,
20:34
Speaker 1: stay there, so you don't move and you're good to go.
20:37
Speaker 1: But it is what it is. So that's the that's
20:40
Speaker 1: the plan. And they're gonna leave Thursday afternoon and get
20:43
Speaker 1: there Friday morning probably about six am. We're staying here.
20:46
Speaker 1: We're covering the game here this year. We just straight
20:49
Speaker 1: out there and honest with everybody, and we'll have free
20:52
Speaker 1: game show here at six thirty on the at with
20:55
Speaker 1: a kickoff and uh, well we we learned and look
20:58
Speaker 1: what we we can do. I think a good job
21:00
Speaker 1: with that. We did it all last year Because of
21:02
Speaker 1: COVID protocols. Last year, we weren't allowed to travel and
21:07
Speaker 1: we got essentially the network feeds that were directly to
21:11
Speaker 1: us as broadcasters, and we had multiple televisions with multiple angles,
21:16
Speaker 1: and we were getting the fees that the network trucks
21:18
Speaker 1: were getting and it was it was great. I mean
21:22
Speaker 1: we could call games and actually see things that at
21:25
Speaker 1: first we were concerned that we wouldn't see. And with
21:29
Speaker 1: the COVID protocols, for what would be for us, because
21:34
Speaker 1: we're not a part of the Tier one tier two
21:37
Speaker 1: COVID system that the NFL has in place, the challenge
21:40
Speaker 1: of traveling for a broadcast team would be just insurmountable
21:44
Speaker 1: and wouldn't be beneficial because you would run the risk
21:47
Speaker 1: of essentially going there and then getting stuck in in
21:51
Speaker 1: a holding area or number two, not being able to
21:55
Speaker 1: come back. Yeah to risky. Yeah. From just talking to somebody,
22:01
Speaker 1: a couple of folks over there today that are involved
22:04
Speaker 1: in the league office and and all that, it's it
22:07
Speaker 1: seems like it's um you know, there's there's a lot
22:09
Speaker 1: of vaccination there and it's almost life as usual. Every
22:13
Speaker 1: everything's open. Restaurants, bars are open. Things are going to
22:16
Speaker 1: kind of going back normal, and then you're gonna have
22:18
Speaker 1: full capacity at the game. And if you go back
22:21
Speaker 1: to when all of this was being talked about, you know,
22:25
Speaker 1: and the planning stages of the game, et cetera, I mean,
22:28
Speaker 1: we didn't know that anything would even be close to
22:31
Speaker 1: being open fully for us. And so that's why you
22:34
Speaker 1: know when the plans are made that you know you're
22:36
Speaker 1: making them well in advance, and so we'll be able
22:39
Speaker 1: to provide I think a great broadcast and looking forward
22:41
Speaker 1: to the game, and I think it's a great matchup
22:43
Speaker 1: for this football team because the Dolphins are not playing
22:45
Speaker 1: very well and they have questions at quarterback there the
22:49
Speaker 1: rankings offensively and defensively are all in the bottom five
22:52
Speaker 1: in the National Football League. So you have a chance.
22:56
Speaker 1: And uh, if you don't get this one, that's when
22:59
Speaker 1: I think it would be highly disappointing for on a
23:02
Speaker 1: lot of different levels. We were talking that a little
23:05
Speaker 1: bit going into last week's game, but the matchup, Hey,
23:07
Speaker 1: if you slow down thought matchup, it just didn't end
23:10
Speaker 1: up that way. I thought it was a great matchup.
23:12
Speaker 1: You gotta you had a Tennessee team that was coming
23:14
Speaker 1: off a game that they got beat by the Jets,
23:17
Speaker 1: and the Jets got their first one of the year.
23:19
Speaker 1: And it's not like the Jets are world beaters now.
23:21
Speaker 1: I mean that was their first victory of the season.
23:23
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titan had an alien offensive line. You had not
23:28
Speaker 1: a lot of continuity with the passing attack with the
23:31
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans, even though Derrick Henry had been on a roll.
23:34
Speaker 1: But the matchup that I thought was favorable to you
23:36
Speaker 1: do a pretty good job against the run. You can
23:38
Speaker 1: commit to stop the run, and you would get a
23:41
Speaker 1: Ryan tanny Hill that if you could make sure that
23:43
Speaker 1: his legs didn't hurt you a ton, the passing attack
23:46
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna kill you. That Tennessee Titans had. And then
23:49
Speaker 1: the Tennessee defense I thought was okay, but I didn't
23:53
Speaker 1: think they were great. So I think you had a
23:55
Speaker 1: chance to do some things there and then, and obviously
23:57
Speaker 1: you weren't able to do it. You started out exactly
24:00
Speaker 1: how you didn't want to start out. You wanted to
24:02
Speaker 1: start fast, maybe get on top and get some excitement
24:05
Speaker 1: building within your own place, and then you end up
24:08
Speaker 1: having a pass that gets coughed up and gets returned
24:12
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. Not exactly how you want to start,
24:13
Speaker 1: but I give the team credit. I mean they bounced back,
24:16
Speaker 1: they bounced back in a strong fashion, and then you
24:18
Speaker 1: lost a little momentum because you missed the extra point,
24:20
Speaker 1: and then all of sudden, now you get into a battle,
24:23
Speaker 1: and then that second half kind of takes over again
24:26
Speaker 1: the second half to where that's been a problem for
24:28
Speaker 1: this football team of coming out and playing well, and
24:31
Speaker 1: the turnover differential of the third quarter gets magnified again
24:35
Speaker 1: this week against against the Tennessee football team that you
24:39
Speaker 1: know you wanted to be able to come out and
24:41
Speaker 1: do some something good right out of the gate, and
24:42
Speaker 1: they just weren't able to stop him. So that's oh
24:46
Speaker 1: and five start to the season. It's onto London this
24:49
Speaker 1: week to face the Miami Dolphins, who won their opener
24:51
Speaker 1: and have dropped the next four in a row. After that,
24:54
Speaker 1: we'll come back int a moment logs and get into
24:57
Speaker 1: this game a little bit more. We'll see if the
24:59
Speaker 1: Jaguars can run the football. They can, we know they can,
25:04
Speaker 1: Will they run it a little more? May? I hope
25:09
Speaker 1: that's well? We'll discuss all that when we come back.
25:11
Speaker 1: This is the Urban Meyers Show on Jaguars Radio wo
25:26
Speaker 1: Welcome Back. The Urban Meyer Show continues along the Jaguars
25:30
Speaker 1: Radio Network. Welcome Back Urban Meyers Show rolls along. J P.
25:33
Speaker 1: Shadrick with Jeff Logman, Joe for Jnado on the audio,
25:37
Speaker 1: Brent Rebru on the video. Today on Jaguars dot Com,
25:40
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us. A long the Jaguars Radio
25:42
Speaker 1: Network is the Jags prepare for this Week six matchup
25:46
Speaker 1: against the Miami Dolphins. The losing skid is now twenty
25:50
Speaker 1: third longest in league history. And if this thing and
25:53
Speaker 1: it will, for goodness sakes, let's hope it doesn't continue longer,
25:57
Speaker 1: that will become a louder drumbeat nationally as they approached
26:01
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers number of twenty six in the
26:04
Speaker 1: late seventies when they came into the league. And then
26:07
Speaker 1: the all time NFL record of consecutive losses is twenty
26:10
Speaker 1: nine by the Chicago Cardinals during War World War Two.
26:13
Speaker 1: Let's not get to that point yet. UM, I guess
26:18
Speaker 1: you just you just kind of talked about it that
26:22
Speaker 1: it is the story. I mean, it is a story.
26:24
Speaker 1: It's not the story of this team because this team
26:27
Speaker 1: is owing five. But it is of that story right now,
26:31
Speaker 1: because five of the twenty losses have come this year,
26:34
Speaker 1: and that's what it is. It's part of the story
26:36
Speaker 1: and that's where they are. So you gotta snap it
26:39
Speaker 1: at some point, and the best way to do that
26:41
Speaker 1: is lean on your best players. And James Robinson is
26:45
Speaker 1: one of the best players they have on the football
26:47
Speaker 1: team right now, one of the most consistent. He's fourth
26:49
Speaker 1: in the league in rushing yards. Has not had as
26:52
Speaker 1: many opportunities as some others with those type of rushing
26:55
Speaker 1: yardage numbers in the NFL, and which is impressive. It
26:59
Speaker 1: really he is. It's nearly six yards of carry for him.
27:03
Speaker 1: It's it's it's impressive. And you're talking about a guy
27:05
Speaker 1: that doesn't have the touches and if you compare his
27:08
Speaker 1: touches are in the National Football League, it's it's not
27:11
Speaker 1: like he's fourth in touches to be fourth in the
27:14
Speaker 1: NFL and rushing, so it's impressive. He's a excellent player.
27:17
Speaker 1: He's a total pro. And love how he plays the
27:20
Speaker 1: game and love how he just is so efficient. I
27:24
Speaker 1: think that's the best way to describe him as a runner.
27:27
Speaker 1: Is that he is efficient. He doesn't waste any steps,
27:30
Speaker 1: he doesn't waste anybody motion. All of his energy is
27:35
Speaker 1: propelling himself forward north and south. He's decisive, he's got
27:39
Speaker 1: great vision. And I've said this many times before. He
27:43
Speaker 1: has everything that you want, with the exception of one thing,
27:48
Speaker 1: and that's the game breaking speed. And if he had that,
27:53
Speaker 1: he would be one of the top backs in the league.
27:57
Speaker 1: He would be up there with Derrick Henry, with Dalvin
28:00
Speaker 1: Cook in those conversation and he's he's probably in a
28:05
Speaker 1: slight tear below those guys. But I still think his
28:10
Speaker 1: efficiency can carry him to be an elite runner in
28:13
Speaker 1: this league for a long time. And I love him.
28:17
Speaker 1: You know. The one thing that impresses me the most.
28:20
Speaker 1: And I've said this before and and a lot of
28:23
Speaker 1: people might criticize me for saying this about comparing him
28:27
Speaker 1: to somebody, but Emmett Smith was and he has a
28:31
Speaker 1: very similar running style to Emmett Smith. Not comparing them
28:35
Speaker 1: as far as the greatness of Emmett Smith or the
28:38
Speaker 1: greatness of of James Robinson, but just the style of
28:42
Speaker 1: runner that Emmett was. Emmett was really good at being
28:45
Speaker 1: efficient and he didn't waste steps. And then also when
28:48
Speaker 1: he hit the whole, he made slight little adjustments to
28:52
Speaker 1: where those slight adjustments enabled his power to run through things.
28:58
Speaker 1: And that's very similar to what James Robinson does. Great vision,
29:04
Speaker 1: doesn't waste any steps. He's efficient just like Himmett was.
29:08
Speaker 1: He has power running through because he makes little subtle
29:12
Speaker 1: moves in the way he he works his way in
29:14
Speaker 1: the hole. He sets blocks up, and that's so critical.
29:19
Speaker 1: The fifty eight yard long run that he had, he
29:22
Speaker 1: actually kind of fakes to the inside and then cuts
29:27
Speaker 1: back out off of the block of Lender and Norwell,
29:32
Speaker 1: and then it's just literally he hits the hole with
29:34
Speaker 1: such great speed that the safety now doesn't even have
29:37
Speaker 1: a good angle because he hit the hole with great
29:40
Speaker 1: speed and great vision and a decisive cut. Uh. It's
29:44
Speaker 1: just uh. And on top of that, he's a he's
29:47
Speaker 1: a very good receiver out of the backfield. He can
29:50
Speaker 1: catch the football and he can protect. He does very
29:53
Speaker 1: good in protection. He is a complete back as there
29:56
Speaker 1: has ever been one. Was undrafted man out of like
30:00
Speaker 1: an FCS school, undrafted and you know, he comes in
30:05
Speaker 1: in the pre draft process and has a pretty good
30:08
Speaker 1: East West Shrine game really good. Actually almost when the
30:10
Speaker 1: MVP of the game, I'm like, who, who's this guy?
30:13
Speaker 1: You know? And then um, nobody takes him in the
30:17
Speaker 1: draft and the Jaguars signed him and he's thrown out there,
30:21
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, he's the guy starting last year.
30:23
Speaker 1: I just remember that last year. Because we were so
30:27
Speaker 1: restricted about being their practices, we didn't get to see
30:31
Speaker 1: it like we normally do in a training camp, and
30:35
Speaker 1: and with COVID the situations were completely different, so we
30:39
Speaker 1: really didn't get the lay eyes on him until the
30:42
Speaker 1: lights were wrong, so to speak. And then all of
30:45
Speaker 1: a sudden they make the move to release Leonard four
30:48
Speaker 1: Nette and we're like, really, whoa okay which we thought
30:55
Speaker 1: was and we're like wow, And and then we see
31:02
Speaker 1: James Robinson play, and you go, these coaches know what
31:07
Speaker 1: they're doing. They made the right call on that, because
31:09
Speaker 1: James Robinson's great back, great back, and Leonard's doing very
31:13
Speaker 1: good things now and I think probably that might have
31:15
Speaker 1: been welcome up. It might have been one of the
31:18
Speaker 1: best things that's happened to Leonard Fournette. It put him
31:22
Speaker 1: on a great team that had has the greatest of
31:27
Speaker 1: all time quarterback who is also I consider the greatest
31:30
Speaker 1: of all time leader in the National Football League. And
31:33
Speaker 1: I think Leonard Fournette has learned a lot. I think
31:36
Speaker 1: he was humbled, he had to compete for where where
31:39
Speaker 1: he was at, and it made him a better person,
31:41
Speaker 1: I think in the long run. And so sometimes things
31:44
Speaker 1: like that work out the better for both and I
31:46
Speaker 1: think in this case it really did. It worked out
31:49
Speaker 1: better for both the team, the Jaguars, and also Leonard Fournette.
31:53
Speaker 1: We'll return with the look at the London history for
31:56
Speaker 1: the Jaguars seven previous games. This is the Urban Meyer
32:00
Speaker 1: Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back, It's the
32:05
Speaker 1: Urban Meyers Show. J P. Shadrick with Jeff Lockman. Glad
32:08
Speaker 1: you're along with us. Is the Jaguars prepared for Week six?
32:11
Speaker 1: They'll face the Miami Dolphins at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Only
32:16
Speaker 1: a couple of years old. The stadium replaced the old
32:19
Speaker 1: White Heart Lane stadium that opened originally in the eighteen
32:23
Speaker 1: nineties and over the years was developed for Tottenham Hotspur
32:28
Speaker 1: Football Club and then they finished playing there. The last
32:30
Speaker 1: season was the sixteen seventeen campaign in the old place
32:33
Speaker 1: demolished it built this new stadium on the same footprint
32:36
Speaker 1: on white Heart Lane and uh Spurs played for a
32:39
Speaker 1: couple of years at Wimbley and it took a little
32:42
Speaker 1: longer than they thought. The League is in on this
32:44
Speaker 1: stadium as well, so there's there are separate, um, you know,
32:48
Speaker 1: locker rooms for the NFL side and for the soccer teams,
32:51
Speaker 1: and then the the soccer pitch actually retracts off the
32:54
Speaker 1: field and the the NFL artificial turf surface stays permanently
32:59
Speaker 1: on the bottom. So it's there's elevated stands at that
33:02
Speaker 1: point because the soccer pitch has gone now, so it's
33:04
Speaker 1: automatics whatever three or four ft drop and um, it's
33:08
Speaker 1: a show place for American football in London as basically
33:11
Speaker 1: what it is that Mike Kencel who um when I
33:15
Speaker 1: was with the Jets back in in the late eighties
33:18
Speaker 1: early nineties, he was the director of operations for the
33:22
Speaker 1: New York jetson and eventually he moved into the league
33:24
Speaker 1: office and then one of his big responsibilities was the
33:27
Speaker 1: development of that stadium and also this international series that's
33:31
Speaker 1: been going on for some time. And he told me
33:33
Speaker 1: and he gave me a an audio tour of the stadium,
33:37
Speaker 1: was telling me about some of the amenities that it
33:40
Speaker 1: has and some of uh the NFL quality stuff that
33:44
Speaker 1: is going into that stadium, and he said it is
33:46
Speaker 1: second to none. He goes it is top notch. The
33:49
Speaker 1: only thing that it doesn't have compared to Wembley is
33:52
Speaker 1: the number of seats, because Wembley smokes everybody when it
33:57
Speaker 1: comes to number of seats. It is the biggest in
33:59
Speaker 1: in that country for sure. And for NFL Wimbley seats
34:02
Speaker 1: in the mid eighties about eighty four or so, UH
34:05
Speaker 1: Spurs is like low seventies, I think, so it'd be
34:08
Speaker 1: a different environment for the Jaguars now the previous history.
34:11
Speaker 1: Of course, Jaguars have played in London seven times over
34:14
Speaker 1: their history, starting back in That's want to forgetten was
34:19
Speaker 1: a little bit better, but still a loss. The Jags
34:22
Speaker 1: finally got their first victory against the Bills in a
34:25
Speaker 1: wild game in twenty fifteen. They gave up a big lead.
34:29
Speaker 1: Like Portals threw some picks in that game and then
34:31
Speaker 1: he threw the game winning touchdown to Alan Hearns in
34:33
Speaker 1: the final moments, diving catch. I've got his elbow into
34:36
Speaker 1: the end zone. Touchdown and Jags won that game over
34:39
Speaker 1: the Bills twenty sixteen. The Colts had never been there,
34:42
Speaker 1: slipping and sliding all over the pitch at Wimbley and
34:44
Speaker 1: the Jaguars won it thirty to twenty seven. The Ravens
34:48
Speaker 1: didn't want to be there. Jaguars blew him out in
34:50
Speaker 1: seven and the last two the Jags have lost. The
34:54
Speaker 1: Eagles got the best of them in eighteen and then
34:56
Speaker 1: the Texans ran away from them in three and four.
35:01
Speaker 1: For the Jaguars overall in London, all those games at
35:04
Speaker 1: Wimbley Stadium. I remember the nineteen game. That was kind
35:07
Speaker 1: of a game. They're trying to figure out about who
35:09
Speaker 1: is going to be the starting quarterback after that, Gardner
35:12
Speaker 1: Minshew or were they going to go back to Nick Foles?
35:14
Speaker 1: And it was not a strong game by Gardner Minshew. Yeah,
35:18
Speaker 1: the last four possessions were all giveaways. Jackson's it's not
35:23
Speaker 1: a good outing for him. But here's the other thing
35:26
Speaker 1: that might be Dolphins have played a cross upond a
35:29
Speaker 1: few times too, so this is this is not uncharted
35:32
Speaker 1: territory for them. You know, we were going through the
35:34
Speaker 1: roster earlier. Good point, Joe Fortunado brought this up there
35:37
Speaker 1: our radio producer earlier. How many Jaguars have played in London?
35:43
Speaker 1: Who brought this up? I gave away your props apologize either,
35:51
Speaker 1: but think about it, Joe. He spurred me onto the
35:55
Speaker 1: thought not Tottenham hot spurred you on, but spurred you on.
35:59
Speaker 1: I got it. So there's so many. You know, I
36:01
Speaker 1: haven't played there since nineteen. There's been a lot of
36:04
Speaker 1: turnover on this roster since then. You think we went
36:06
Speaker 1: through it and just a rough estimate of Jaguars that
36:10
Speaker 1: are here that have been here, there are twenty. Well
36:14
Speaker 1: you think about all the offensive linemen are still around,
36:17
Speaker 1: like the starters, and the guys that have been backups
36:19
Speaker 1: at least historically are still here for these teams. That's
36:21
Speaker 1: the bulk of them. Didn't have a chance to go
36:23
Speaker 1: through and check. You know, Man Hurts and Arnold and Hollister,
36:26
Speaker 1: veteran players who've been around the league. They might have
36:28
Speaker 1: had a stop in London occasion. You know. So it's
36:32
Speaker 1: at least twenty, and it's probably over half the roster
36:36
Speaker 1: once you get down to it. Well, wait a minute,
36:38
Speaker 1: if you could be I mean half the roster, you
36:40
Speaker 1: mean the roster, if you look at it for real
36:44
Speaker 1: plus sixteen plus the injured guys. I bet you it's
36:47
Speaker 1: another I bet you it's another five to seven. Because
36:50
Speaker 1: there's so many teams are playing now in London, you
36:53
Speaker 1: have to go that math doesn't add up. We did
36:56
Speaker 1: this on the show last night in Jacksonville on Jaguars
36:59
Speaker 1: Happy Hour. When it comes to math, they're not very good.
37:03
Speaker 1: Just ask somebody else. Uh, by the way, one guy
37:08
Speaker 1: that we haven't talked about this much yet, but with
37:11
Speaker 1: Brandon Lender going to I R obviously the valuable backup
37:16
Speaker 1: that Tyler Shatley has been because you've needed to have
37:19
Speaker 1: him because Lender has had injuries in the past. I
37:23
Speaker 1: think last year he only played in eight games, and
37:25
Speaker 1: then he played a full season before that, and then
37:27
Speaker 1: he's missed time in the two seasons prior to that.
37:30
Speaker 1: Tyler Shatley has been I mean literally arguably the most
37:35
Speaker 1: valuable backup over the last five or six years for
37:39
Speaker 1: this football team. Maybe right, I'd say so, yeah, because
37:43
Speaker 1: Lenda has not been out there a full season really,
37:45
Speaker 1: which yeah, well he had one full season a couple
37:47
Speaker 1: of years ago and twenty five career starts for shat Lee.
37:52
Speaker 1: So this offensive line is in good hands with Tyler
37:56
Speaker 1: Shatley at the center position. About this, that's it's one year,
38:00
Speaker 1: two million dollar contract for Shatley. That's I mean, it's
38:04
Speaker 1: money well spent, very well spent. And for him, this
38:08
Speaker 1: is a showcase to if you go out and play well,
38:10
Speaker 1: then here we go. I really thought that because last
38:13
Speaker 1: year he had a number of games that he put
38:17
Speaker 1: out there that were really good film games. I thought
38:19
Speaker 1: that somebody would try to hire him as maybe their
38:22
Speaker 1: starter or would offer him more money to go to
38:26
Speaker 1: their place to be a high quality backup center guard.
38:29
Speaker 1: He's a better center that he is a guard, but
38:32
Speaker 1: he is extremely valuable just because of of Lender's injury
38:36
Speaker 1: history and uh and so I feel very confident with
38:41
Speaker 1: the offensive line in the hands of Tyler Shatley and
38:45
Speaker 1: with Tyler Shatley helping a very young quarterback in Trevor Lawrence.
38:50
Speaker 1: One more time out, we'll get our final thoughts ahead
38:52
Speaker 1: of this week six matchup the Jaguars and the Miami
38:55
Speaker 1: Dolphins coming up in London in Week six. That Jack's
38:59
Speaker 1: trying to stample losing skid. And this is the Urban
39:01
Speaker 1: Meyers Show on Jaguars Radio. Wow. Welcome back. The Urban
39:12
Speaker 1: Meyer Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network. We're back
39:17
Speaker 1: bringing it on home on the Urban Meyer Show. J P. Shadrick,
39:20
Speaker 1: Jeff Logaman, Jaguars and the Dolphins coming up Sunday to
39:25
Speaker 1: thirty in London nine thirty am in Jacksonville will be
39:30
Speaker 1: on the air on the network at eight thirty with
39:32
Speaker 1: countdown to kickoff to get you ready for the kick
39:36
Speaker 1: from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London. Yes, indeed, Um,
39:46
Speaker 1: you know I was looking through you know, some some
39:50
Speaker 1: old you know, we're talking about this long losing skid.
39:52
Speaker 1: The Buccaneers lost straight and uh McKay was the coach right,
39:58
Speaker 1: he said, you know, can it went at home? Can't
40:01
Speaker 1: win on the road. What we need is a neutral site. Well,
40:04
Speaker 1: this is as close at you gonna get, I think
40:05
Speaker 1: in the regular season. It is a Jaguar's home game
40:07
Speaker 1: in London. And uh, obviously joking aside, though, you gotta
40:11
Speaker 1: try to crack this streak, break the rock, as Urban says,
40:15
Speaker 1: it's not easy. And um, the one one thing is
40:18
Speaker 1: for certain that you've got to start and do better
40:22
Speaker 1: in the turnover differential category. If you don't win that category,
40:27
Speaker 1: or at least keep it even even you're not gonna win.
40:30
Speaker 1: How many opportunities you think they've lost on defense to
40:34
Speaker 1: get takeaways? There was the close one last week on
40:36
Speaker 1: there well to be jp. I mean there's there's only
40:40
Speaker 1: been a couple opportunities that have been missed. And that's
40:43
Speaker 1: the part that I think is concerning. No. Shock had
40:46
Speaker 1: two really good chances at interceptions that he dropped, and
40:49
Speaker 1: this one this pass game could have been possibly a
40:52
Speaker 1: pick six one of the chances, because he had a
40:55
Speaker 1: total three chances. One I would have been a really
40:57
Speaker 1: tough catch. And but overall, you haven't affected the quarterback
41:02
Speaker 1: enough to to get the ball out of force bad
41:05
Speaker 1: throws or errand throws. And there was one throw that
41:08
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray tried to put on it and Damian Wilson
41:10
Speaker 1: did a great job underneath and then Wingered was able
41:13
Speaker 1: to make the interception. But overall, where are the cost fumbles?
41:17
Speaker 1: There's not many. Where are the ways to affect the
41:21
Speaker 1: quarterback that causes these errand throws? Also, scoring differential, if
41:28
Speaker 1: you start scoring points early, then you put an opponent
41:32
Speaker 1: into the position that they need to pass more. Then
41:35
Speaker 1: it puts more pressure on them, then you can put
41:37
Speaker 1: more pressure on the quarterback. So all these things are
41:39
Speaker 1: kind of required in order for you to to make
41:42
Speaker 1: these happen. But I can tell you this, until you
41:45
Speaker 1: start balancing or winning the turnover deferential as an organization,
41:49
Speaker 1: you will not win. In fact, the numbers during the
41:52
Speaker 1: losing streak, there have been during the losing like, yeah, okay,
41:58
Speaker 1: thirty six giveaways, So they're nearly averaging almost two giveaways
42:03
Speaker 1: a game. I mean, so, so you've got to find
42:05
Speaker 1: a way to protect the ball and then also take
42:08
Speaker 1: the ball away from the opponent. And then after that
42:11
Speaker 1: you've just got to got to play well. And they
42:14
Speaker 1: this team right now, you gotta communicate. You can't have
42:16
Speaker 1: mental errors, you can't have self inflicted wounds. I mean,
42:19
Speaker 1: all these things that you hear about coach speak, it's
42:22
Speaker 1: coach speak for a reason because it's a tried and
42:25
Speaker 1: true way to win games if you can accomplish some
42:28
Speaker 1: of the the objectives in those categories. And this team
42:30
Speaker 1: hasn't been doing it, you know, really, especially in the
42:34
Speaker 1: first five games, you haven't done it at all. Take example,
42:37
Speaker 1: the first half last week, turn over on the first drive,
42:40
Speaker 1: right fumble return touchdown, boom, they go down and score
42:43
Speaker 1: and and seemingly tie the game. But slipped on an
42:46
Speaker 1: extra point just a little mistake, not I mean whatever,
42:50
Speaker 1: just slipped and missed the extra point seven to six,
42:52
Speaker 1: then missed the field goal, hit the crossbar from fifty three.
42:56
Speaker 1: Those those eleven points, I mean, you know that's that's
43:01
Speaker 1: the difference at halftime, eleven points. Uh, it only takes
43:05
Speaker 1: a few moments in a game that can turn a
43:08
Speaker 1: game like that. And then the second half you gotta
43:10
Speaker 1: be better. I mean that's coming out of halftime when
43:13
Speaker 1: the third quarter has been has been rough. The turnover
43:18
Speaker 1: differential in the third quarter last week was minus thirty
43:21
Speaker 1: five now is at minus forty two. You gotta you
43:25
Speaker 1: gotta change it. I mean, you can't come out at
43:27
Speaker 1: halftime and look, you you may be without some you
43:30
Speaker 1: might maybe without Miles Jack and you don't know, I mean,
43:33
Speaker 1: you may be without some guys on defense, and you
43:36
Speaker 1: hope that you have everybody ready to go. But I mean,
43:39
Speaker 1: I've had an oblique uh injury before, and which is
43:43
Speaker 1: what urban talked about it being with Miles Jack and
43:46
Speaker 1: and essentially you're losing your ability to have any power
43:50
Speaker 1: whatsoever because your core is where the injury is, and
43:54
Speaker 1: so you can't translate your lower body power to your
43:56
Speaker 1: upper body and it makes it very difficult to play football.
43:59
Speaker 1: I've tried to do I head it in college one time,
44:01
Speaker 1: and you basically try to shoot it up or I
44:03
Speaker 1: tried to shoot it up at the time, and you're
44:04
Speaker 1: just hitting a bunch of areas to try to help
44:06
Speaker 1: you get it. But it's hard. That's not even a
44:08
Speaker 1: hard and an hard area to inject. And I don't
44:11
Speaker 1: even know if they would even do that. Yeah, you
44:12
Speaker 1: hear that a lot in baseball, guys can't swing or
44:15
Speaker 1: the oblique it's a twisting. So I'm playing linebacker requires
44:19
Speaker 1: a lot of oblique muscle. Yes, last time I checked,
44:24
Speaker 1: and you're you're still right. Uh, Logs good stuff. We
44:27
Speaker 1: will look forward to the game on Sunday and the
44:30
Speaker 1: breakfast Early Bird special the Jags and the Dolphins coming
44:34
Speaker 1: up our thanks to head coach Urban Meyer, Joe Fortno
44:37
Speaker 1: Brent Reaver for Jeff logging, but I'm JP Shatrick will
44:39
Speaker 1: get you next time. The Urban Meyers Show on the
