Speaker 1: are your reactions when you see your name on these lists?
1:11
Speaker 1: I spent so long in college football that, um, you're
1:14
Speaker 1: talking about some great places. So when I start getting
1:17
Speaker 1: text messages or phone calls, you know, of course it's flattering,
1:20
Speaker 1: you know the respect I have for um that profession.
1:24
Speaker 1: But I have no interest. I I have a great
1:28
Speaker 1: relationship with the owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. I love
1:30
Speaker 1: the nine oh four area and feel committed to these players.
1:33

1:42
Speaker 1: behalf of our players are coaching staff, and we are
1:44
Speaker 1: going to grind and work and work. And you know
1:47
Speaker 1: the vision of a full bank t I a bank
1:49
Speaker 1: stadium and you know, a high flying offense and all
1:53
Speaker 1: that we have the quarterback. We have to just keep
1:55
Speaker 1: building and getting better. There's still confidence you can turn
1:58
Speaker 1: it this season with six team to go. What are
2:00
Speaker 1: we talking about, man, I mean you see it all
2:02
Speaker 1: the time, and you know, I know I see Jeff
2:04
Speaker 1: right there not as head. Of course we can we
2:06
Speaker 1: all beat the Buffalo Bills and play great defense. You know,
2:08
Speaker 1: we we've had some awful injuries at the fast you know,
2:12
Speaker 1: our speed at receiver, we and then now our fast
2:15
Speaker 1: tight ends out. Yeah, but it's don't don't tell us
2:19
Speaker 1: how deep the ocean is. Just figure out how to
2:21
Speaker 1: get across it. So we're a My attitude is great,
2:24
Speaker 1: you know, I just I feel I feel for our fans,
2:26
Speaker 1: I feel for our former players, I feel most importantly
2:28
Speaker 1: fire players. Let's go win. Let's go in and keep
2:30
Speaker 1: fighting and fighting and fighting, and uh, well that's what
2:33
Speaker 1: you're gonna gets a fight and urban the game in
2:36
Speaker 1: the NFL as you are learning and see and it's
2:38
Speaker 1: it's it's so tight, and any kind of mistake that
2:41
Speaker 1: you make or things that you might miss certainly can
2:44
Speaker 1: cost a football team in a big way. This past game,
2:48
Speaker 1: you had some mental areas that cost your football team,
2:51
Speaker 1: and when you clean them up obviously will help in
2:53
Speaker 1: a big fashion. How do you go about making sure
2:55
Speaker 1: that you can clean them up to where you can
2:57
Speaker 1: give yourself to the best chance to win every week?
3:01
Speaker 1: That's the million dollar question. That's the question that uh,
3:04
Speaker 1: you know, for all of us that's been in this
3:06
Speaker 1: game forever. Uh you try to figure out if it
3:09
Speaker 1: was wearing a lucky T shirt or screaming at someone
3:13
Speaker 1: or pulling them out of the game, you do it.
3:15
Speaker 1: But when you think about. First of all, I I
3:18
Speaker 1: say this weekly, and I'd be transparent with you if
3:21
Speaker 1: I felt like our locker room wasn't wasn't all about
3:24
Speaker 1: the right stuff they are. When I see a mistake,
3:26
Speaker 1: it makes you very angry, but it also breaks your
3:29
Speaker 1: heart because you know, my gosh, you're just going as
3:31
Speaker 1: hard as you can. You look up and I remember
3:33
Speaker 1: looking to say, what you're kidding me? You know, our
3:35
Speaker 1: defense is off the field twice within a five minute window,
3:39
Speaker 1: and you see two two penalties, you know, and uh
3:42
Speaker 1: or a ron route or a drop pass or something
3:46
Speaker 1: and and uh. But you know there's one answer, Jeff,
3:49
Speaker 1: you know what as well as anyone, and it's you know, elbow,
3:53
Speaker 1: grease and go to work. And one of the great
3:55
Speaker 1: things I think about you talk about a great locker
3:58
Speaker 1: room is you get really accept in the locker rooms
4:00
Speaker 1: when you get to the point where the locker room
4:03
Speaker 1: starts demanding of each other that those corrections are made
4:07
Speaker 1: and those mistakes are not made. Are you starting to
4:09
Speaker 1: see signs of that, because obviously this is a locker
4:13
Speaker 1: room that takes time to build. Not yet, you know,
4:16
Speaker 1: I see bits and pieces of it, because we have
4:18
Speaker 1: some really good leaders. You know. It was great to
4:20
Speaker 1: have Lender back, uh, but not not to the degree
4:24
Speaker 1: or like you said. You know, that's when I studied
4:27
Speaker 1: the Patriots for a so long and I even brought
4:28
Speaker 1: William Ginniston here to talk to our team. I remember
4:31
Speaker 1: sitting up Mike, Mike, raybol Bruski and um Uh Rodney
4:37
Speaker 1: Harrison back into the day and I and I even
4:40
Speaker 1: asked Coach Belichick about how do you handle this situation?
4:42
Speaker 1: Looks at me because I don't have that situation. It
4:44
Speaker 1: never gets to me, you know. I was like, what
4:46
Speaker 1: are you talking about? And then I watched practice and
4:48
Speaker 1: I saw after practice who random meetings, the way it
4:51
Speaker 1: was done, and and that's where the culture we're trying
4:53
Speaker 1: to build here and go German Meyer with US Jaguar's
4:57
Speaker 1: offense last week, there were some positive years later in
5:00
Speaker 1: the game trying to climb back in the thing and
5:03
Speaker 1: just fell a little bit short in that one. There
5:05
Speaker 1: was all that talk last week about creativity and there
5:09
Speaker 1: was some run pass option things that came back in
5:11
Speaker 1: the game last week. The question for me here is
5:15
Speaker 1: what is your ideal offense urban and and how do
5:19
Speaker 1: you build that well? As I told my entire career
5:22
Speaker 1: has been what's your offense? Tell me who my quarterback is?
5:25
Speaker 1: You know, what about your defense? Will tell me who
5:27
Speaker 1: our defensive ends are. You know, I was enamored with
5:30
Speaker 1: the three four defense, but we were very fortunately kept
5:33
Speaker 1: recruiting these five star athletes that are four three defensive events.
5:36
Speaker 1: So guess what defense we've played for three? You know,
5:39
Speaker 1: when Dwayne Haskins was a quarterback, we dropped back fifty
5:42
Speaker 1: times a game and he threw fifty touchdowns in the
5:45
Speaker 1: very few interceptions. When you know J T. Barrett or
5:48
Speaker 1: Tebow was your quarterback, You're not gonna do that. You're
5:50
Speaker 1: gonna run spread option football. So with Trevor Lawrence, you'd
5:53
Speaker 1: like to see a combination of what a little bit
5:55
Speaker 1: of what you said. I thought our offense at times
5:57
Speaker 1: looked unstoppable, you know, if you let him play his
6:00
Speaker 1: game and the gun. But you also and once again,
6:02
Speaker 1: James Robinson is not himself yet, you know, and I
6:04
Speaker 1: love him, we all love him. He goes so he's
6:06
Speaker 1: such a tough guy, but you can see just doesn't
6:09
Speaker 1: have that second gear, you know, the first gear that
6:11
Speaker 1: that he needs. But that to answer your question, A
6:14
Speaker 1: combination of both. And I see teams across the NFL
6:18
Speaker 1: do it. I know we can do it, and um,
6:20
Speaker 1: we just have to keep building and and part of
6:23
Speaker 1: that is not easy to kind of come to the
6:25
Speaker 1: conclusion on as far as okay, we want to be
6:27
Speaker 1: this for Trevor because you've got a young quarterback. I
6:30
Speaker 1: think probably you've got a vision for him that you
6:32
Speaker 1: eventually he wants to be this. But it takes time,
6:34
Speaker 1: doesn't it for a young quarterback to develop. And part
6:37
Speaker 1: of that development is aided by a great running game.
6:40
Speaker 1: How do you make that running game even better than
6:42
Speaker 1: it is now with James Robinson not at quite a
6:45
Speaker 1: hundred percent. I think the number one thing is keep
6:48
Speaker 1: the game close, you know, the games that are really close.
6:51
Speaker 1: We were able to do that, and we ran the
6:53
Speaker 1: ball very effectively. Uh Sunday Uh combination of Trevor pulling
6:58
Speaker 1: something that the other good thing to Trevor in the
7:00
Speaker 1: run game, you know, I needed to see it. He
7:03
Speaker 1: doesn't put himself in harm's way. You know, he does
7:05
Speaker 1: a good job at getting down. But that that's a
7:07
Speaker 1: part of this offense. It's a part of the Buffalo
7:09
Speaker 1: Bill's offense. It's part of other you know, a lot
7:12
Speaker 1: of teams offenses. Uh, to have that guy that's a
7:15
Speaker 1: threat and he's actually good at it. You know, very
7:18
Speaker 1: few drop back quarterbacks in the NFL. I shouldn't say that,
7:21
Speaker 1: very few good drop back quarterbacks in the NFL because
7:24
Speaker 1: it's it's I don't want to say it's impossible, but
7:27
Speaker 1: you know we're facing uh, you know von Miller. Now
7:30
Speaker 1: the other defensive ends great, aren't Donald is Uh? Arnold,
7:34
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, is the probably the best in the NFL
7:37
Speaker 1: in his position of three techniques. So standing back in
7:39
Speaker 1: the pocket, it's not the healthiest thing to do. So
7:43
Speaker 1: it's Trevor is really good on the move. Well, Trevor
7:46
Speaker 1: certainly has great mobility in the way that he plays
7:49
Speaker 1: the game. And the thing that has impressed me the
7:51
Speaker 1: most is how mature he seems to be handling all
7:55
Speaker 1: of this. Orman. I mean, this is obviously not what
7:57
Speaker 1: he's used to. He was a tremendous success some high
8:00
Speaker 1: school in college and so this is new territory. But
8:03
Speaker 1: I think the way that he's handled himself through all
8:06
Speaker 1: of this has been exceptional. A plus, um, you know,
8:09
Speaker 1: I just can't get enough of Trevor. I can't. You know,
8:12
Speaker 1: you feel empty when you don't see him, you know,
8:15
Speaker 1: And that sounds kind of awkward, but it is. You know.
8:17
Speaker 1: I just love seeing that guy walk into building. He's
8:20
Speaker 1: always positive, he's his players got incredible respect for him,
8:23
Speaker 1: and he has a great vision as I do for
8:26
Speaker 1: this organization. And uh, we all wish it would have
8:30
Speaker 1: happened faster, but we still have six games left. Some
8:33
Speaker 1: great things gonna happen this year. Gets some momentum and
8:35
Speaker 1: keep building, and there's time and there's time for him
8:38
Speaker 1: to get better and time for this offense to get better.
8:41
Speaker 1: How do you go about trying to build that confidencing
8:43
Speaker 1: or gain if he doesn't have it, how do you
8:45
Speaker 1: get that confidence going so that he and the offense
8:49
Speaker 1: can have a little rhythm to finish this thing upright? Yeah?
8:52
Speaker 1: They I kind of felt we had some of the
8:53
Speaker 1: second half. We couldn't get the wait to get the
8:55
Speaker 1: ball back and and I think we had two fourteen
8:57
Speaker 1: play drives, a nice combination to run it pass and
9:01
Speaker 1: uh and then the touchdown pass. I mean that was
9:04
Speaker 1: as good have passed the tavon Austin as as you
9:06
Speaker 1: could have hit them. The two point conversion had some
9:09
Speaker 1: energy going, had the ball with the chance to win
9:11
Speaker 1: at the end that we didn't execute. Uh So, how
9:14
Speaker 1: do you do it? Hard work? I hate to be redundant,
9:17
Speaker 1: and I hate to sound like old coach giving you
9:20
Speaker 1: the same answer, but I think we all know the answer.
9:22
Speaker 1: You just go work your you know what off. Plenty
9:25
Speaker 1: more ahead with head coach Urban Meyer, will flip it
9:27
Speaker 1: around to the Jaguars defensive performance last week against the
9:30
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons when we return. This is the Urban Meyers
9:33
Speaker 1: Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back The Urban
9:43
Speaker 1: Meyer Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network Jaguars Game
9:47
Speaker 1: Day Broadcaster presented by Vice Star Credit Union and welcome
9:50
Speaker 1: back to the Urban Meyers Show. J P. Shadrick, Jeff Lagaman,
9:54
Speaker 1: head Coach Urban Meyer recapping a week twelve lost to
9:57
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons twenty one fourteen. And let's flip it
10:01
Speaker 1: around to the Jaguars defense against this Falcons team that
10:05
Speaker 1: ran the ball effectively called Darrel Patterson was lined up
10:09
Speaker 1: in the backfield, a good bit went over a hundred
10:11
Speaker 1: yards rushing. Why were they so effective in the run game, Well,
10:14
Speaker 1: they one of the first times they knocked us around.
10:17
Speaker 1: You know, they got displaced at the line of scrimmage.
10:19
Speaker 1: He's a very talented hybrid player running back in particular
10:23
Speaker 1: in that game, and big, fast, strong guy, and we
10:26
Speaker 1: had trouble with him. We held him to two points
10:29
Speaker 1: six yards, but carrying the second half stiffened up and
10:31
Speaker 1: put us in position to go winning a game. So yeah,
10:35
Speaker 1: early on the game, he just we got knocked out.
10:37
Speaker 1: And it's one of the first times up front and
10:39
Speaker 1: I have been watching Devon Hambleton's He's a guy that
10:42
Speaker 1: coming out of the preseason, I thought that he would
10:45
Speaker 1: look exceptional. H this past game, I don't think it
10:48
Speaker 1: was best his best game. How do you get that
10:50
Speaker 1: a little bit stouter in the middle, because that seemed
10:54
Speaker 1: to be part of the problem against the Falcons. Well,
10:56
Speaker 1: we got a little bit depth there, you know. Godsus
10:58
Speaker 1: came in and made a play for us and and
11:00
Speaker 1: uh uh you've got Malcolm uh Hamilton's and David Bryant,
11:04
Speaker 1: so we got a little bit of you know, some
11:06
Speaker 1: big guys in there, and Roy Roberts as well. So
11:09
Speaker 1: the best way is get you four or five good
11:11
Speaker 1: plays and then rotate guys in, you know, because at
11:14
Speaker 1: that position, that's a that's a know, a thankless position.
11:18
Speaker 1: At times you're you're sitting there taking on six fifty
11:20
Speaker 1: pounds of people men driving you back, and you gotta
11:24
Speaker 1: stay fresh. You gotta have some mop back. The other
11:26
Speaker 1: thing we did is we lost the edge a couple
11:27
Speaker 1: of times. We've been really good about that so far
11:29
Speaker 1: this year. Is you know, you'll hold the edge and
11:32
Speaker 1: you force it back to where all your content, all
11:34
Speaker 1: your supportive is on the team. And we lost the
11:36
Speaker 1: edge a couple of times. Yeah, Josh actually even struggle
11:39
Speaker 1: with that, as good as he's been playing, but hey,
11:41
Speaker 1: sometimes that happens. That you didn't have Shaq Griffin in
11:43
Speaker 1: that ball game, and Tyson Campbell turned in what I
11:46
Speaker 1: thought was his best performance. He had the interception there
11:49
Speaker 1: and a cover two defense where a lot of teams
11:51
Speaker 1: tacked attacked the soft spot, and that's perfectly the way
11:54
Speaker 1: that they had drawn it up, and Tyson played it perfectly.
11:57
Speaker 1: He had numerous other players, a couple of past defense
11:59
Speaker 1: to be able to give your team an opportunity there
12:01
Speaker 1: at the end of the ball game, big tackle on
12:03
Speaker 1: the third down by far his best game. Yeah, he
12:06
Speaker 1: was just think about how far he's come and uh,
12:09
Speaker 1: you know, he's a guy that we drafted with you know,
12:12
Speaker 1: high high pick. He's a god known since his freshman
12:14
Speaker 1: year in high school. It was great to see his
12:16
Speaker 1: family after the game. But he is uh, you know,
12:19
Speaker 1: he fought that the probably the best thing, Jeff, as
12:21
Speaker 1: he fought through an injury. He had an a c
12:23
Speaker 1: that you know, some guys wouldn't go. He went and
12:26
Speaker 1: you know, uh when he came up and hit that
12:28
Speaker 1: cat on the third down, you know that that just
12:31
Speaker 1: showed me a lot about Tyson Campbell. Sure, he made
12:33
Speaker 1: an interception against cover two bait at the quarterback and
12:36
Speaker 1: made a play. He almost stepped in front of a
12:38
Speaker 1: pick six too, So there's there's a lot of positives
12:41
Speaker 1: right now with Tyson. Yeah, early in the season, the
12:43
Speaker 1: coach there was all that talk about him not being
12:46
Speaker 1: able to find the ball, and you know there were
12:48
Speaker 1: a couple of plays where things got behind him. What
12:51
Speaker 1: did he do to work on that? Well, he works,
12:54
Speaker 1: you know. And and Tim Walton. I really liked Tim Walton,
12:56
Speaker 1: you know. I you know, one of the things my
12:58
Speaker 1: job is to challenge people. Are we do one enough drills?
13:00
Speaker 1: I call him snapshots and we put these positions and
13:03
Speaker 1: these players in position to what actually happens in the game.
13:05
Speaker 1: But tired of you know, nothing of the old drills.
13:07
Speaker 1: I I can't stand that sometimes. But are we Let's
13:10
Speaker 1: break down a drill create a new one where he
13:12
Speaker 1: has to go make a play on the ball and
13:15
Speaker 1: you know, leading the receiver out of bounds and all
13:17
Speaker 1: the things the great corners you see doing. So I
13:18
Speaker 1: really appreciate what they've done. I think one of the
13:21
Speaker 1: things that I've noticed in you and correct me if
13:23
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, But before Tyson would try to turn and
13:26
Speaker 1: look back at the ball once the receiver gave him
13:29
Speaker 1: an indication that the ball is coming, whereas now his
13:32
Speaker 1: attention stays on the wide receiver, in the hands of
13:35
Speaker 1: the wide receiver and tries to battle. And at that
13:38
Speaker 1: point and I am I wrong, Oh, you're right. Uh.
13:41
Speaker 1: You know obviously you're talking about man coverage here. Man coverage.
13:44
Speaker 1: You you can't lose sight of the white out and
13:47
Speaker 1: the great ones because you have to all you know,
13:48
Speaker 1: it's almost talking out at both sides of your mouth
13:50
Speaker 1: and keep you know, go intercept the ball, but don't
13:51
Speaker 1: take your eyes off the white out, the great ones.
13:54
Speaker 1: Having a six cents where that receiver is at. So
13:56
Speaker 1: he's watching them, but when the eyes go back, he knows,
13:59
Speaker 1: he feels or that it out is and he leans
14:01
Speaker 1: into it makes a play. That's where you see so
14:02
Speaker 1: much improvement from Tyson shaqu Griffin did not play this
14:06
Speaker 1: past week in the concussion protocol. What's the status of
14:10
Speaker 1: him for this week? Anything new to report there? We'll
14:13
Speaker 1: know more, uh, you know as a as a week progresses.
14:16
Speaker 1: Head coach Urban Meyer with us you touched on this
14:19
Speaker 1: earlier Urban. You know, there was some yards given up
14:22
Speaker 1: early in the game. It was twenty one points, you know,
14:25
Speaker 1: after the first drive of the second half. But then
14:28
Speaker 1: the Jags defense got off the field each time, even
14:31
Speaker 1: though there was some early adversity again and that tells
14:33
Speaker 1: you a lot about this battling group on the defensive
14:35
Speaker 1: side of the football. Yeah, we got a battling coordinator.
14:39
Speaker 1: You know, we got a tough guy coordinator, and the
14:41
Speaker 1: standard is very high, and we didn't play up to
14:44
Speaker 1: our standard. Uh, very tough meeting we had yesterday. But
14:48
Speaker 1: we're gonna go out and practice and you know, we're
14:50
Speaker 1: gonna play great defense here. We're gonna keep building our
14:52
Speaker 1: defense with personnel and we're gonna I'm committed to this scheme.
14:56
Speaker 1: I believe it's the right scheme and uh, I simply
15:00
Speaker 1: like the way our defense has be a coach right now,
15:02
Speaker 1: Urban will come back in just a moment and we'll
15:05
Speaker 1: look ahead to the Los Angeles Rams and Week thirteen,
15:08
Speaker 1: it's the Urban Meyers Show on Jaguars Radio. Wow, welcome back.
15:24
Speaker 1: The Urban Meyer Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network.
15:29
Speaker 1: JP Shadrick, Jeff Logavan head coach Urban Meyer on the
15:32
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer Show. As the Jaguars head to Los Angeles
15:35
Speaker 1: so Fi Stadium to face the Los Angeles Rams. Leaving
15:40
Speaker 1: early for the trip again. Did that earlier this year,
15:42
Speaker 1: headed out Friday to Seattle, heading out Friday again to California.
15:46
Speaker 1: Take us through that decision again, Why why the early trip?
15:50
Speaker 1: A lot of those decisions I leave up to the
15:52
Speaker 1: players and what's been done in the past. You know,
15:54
Speaker 1: the only experience I had was at Notre Dame. We
15:56
Speaker 1: went out to USC and we'd go up to day
15:58
Speaker 1: early because of the time change, and so I visited
16:01
Speaker 1: with players what's been done in the past and coaches
16:03
Speaker 1: that have done it before. Trent was very helpful to us.
16:06
Speaker 1: That's why we're doing it. The trip trip to to
16:09
Speaker 1: l A is certainly always different. I remember one of
16:11
Speaker 1: my first trips to l A. It's certainly I opening
16:14
Speaker 1: a little bit, and it's gonna be eye opening in
16:16
Speaker 1: more ways than one for your football team. And that
16:18
Speaker 1: it's an incredible new stadium, so Fi stadium home for
16:21
Speaker 1: the Rams and also the Chargers. Do you're gonna Are
16:25
Speaker 1: you gonna be able to see it or to walk
16:27
Speaker 1: through it maybe the day before the game. Are you
16:29
Speaker 1: gonna practice there? How do you do that? We're gonna
16:32
Speaker 1: practice that? Uh? It might be U C. L A.
16:34
Speaker 1: I'm understanding, we're still finalizing all that. I know we'll
16:38
Speaker 1: go through. Uh uh, you know that. That's what's the
16:42
Speaker 1: old Hoosiers when the guy got on the guy's shoulders
16:44
Speaker 1: and he measured his ten feet, great scene free throw
16:49
Speaker 1: lines this, and so I might bring the tape measure
16:51
Speaker 1: out and show those guys. It's a beautiful stadium. But
16:53
Speaker 1: all these guys are pros here, and you know, I've
16:56
Speaker 1: been around some great stadiums and I understand it's phenomenal.
16:59
Speaker 1: But that's not our concern or concern. As the All
17:01
Speaker 1: Star team we're playing. Yeah, let's get to those Los
17:04
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams. Um. They've lost three straights they needed obviously
17:09
Speaker 1: to stay in the NFC playoff raise. Of course the
17:12
Speaker 1: Jaguars need this game also, the three game losing skid. Here.
17:16
Speaker 1: Let's this Rams offense though Matthew Stafford, brought over from
17:19
Speaker 1: Detroit the last few weeks, has turned the ball over
17:22
Speaker 1: a little bit. They've got the top receiver in the
17:24
Speaker 1: NFL and Cooper Cup and when they're on, they can
17:27
Speaker 1: be a very dangerous offense. Yeah, and they just got
17:30
Speaker 1: the other guy out of the uh so just happened
17:35
Speaker 1: to get him. And then he got Jefferson, who I
17:38
Speaker 1: actually recruited, committed me on high school. He's a very
17:40
Speaker 1: athletic player too. Uh. Zach Kigbie the wide tight end
17:44
Speaker 1: is a very good player. But it all it's driven
17:46
Speaker 1: by that quarterback. You know, are uh Darryl Bevel coaching
17:50
Speaker 1: but Detroit I've coached against him. Way, he's a Georgia.
17:52
Speaker 1: I know him. You know, when I was trying to
17:55
Speaker 1: hire a coordinator, I talked to him a couple of times.
17:57
Speaker 1: That's how much respect I have from Matthew Stafford. And uh,
18:01
Speaker 1: when he's on. He's he's Aaron Rodgers type player. When
18:04
Speaker 1: he's not, you know, he's like a lot of quarterbacks
18:07
Speaker 1: when they struggle. So I don't know if he's banged
18:08
Speaker 1: up a little bit, but they've got excellent skill. The
18:11
Speaker 1: three Whiteouts are all excellent players. The offense line. Their
18:14
Speaker 1: left tackle was forty years old Whitworth. I think his
18:17
Speaker 1: name is Andrew Whitworth. Yeah, he's been around and he's
18:20
Speaker 1: a giant man. But that you know, that coach and
18:24
Speaker 1: that staff, they put together a very good team. You
18:27
Speaker 1: talk about Whitworth, it reminds me of one of the
18:29
Speaker 1: guys that I got to sit next to in our
18:31
Speaker 1: NFL Players Association Union meetings, which was Jackie Slater. Not
18:36
Speaker 1: many guys have been able to play the game at
18:38
Speaker 1: offensive tackle for nearly twenty years, and Whitworth is one
18:42
Speaker 1: of those guys, just a freak of nature. Well, Jeff,
18:44
Speaker 1: you're only forty one. Let's go. He's still got some
18:47
Speaker 1: Those knees are fine. Let I don't think so. But
18:50
Speaker 1: it's amazing to me that a guy can play that long.
18:52
Speaker 1: You know, the Clay Matthews of the world, the whit Worst,
18:55
Speaker 1: the Jackie Slaters, I mean, guys that have longevity, that
18:59
Speaker 1: take care of their audi in such a great way
19:01
Speaker 1: and are not able to do it at a high level.
19:03
Speaker 1: I mean, I've always had the most all the respect
19:06
Speaker 1: in the world for those guys because of the way
19:08
Speaker 1: that they handle themselves, in the way that they've always
19:10
Speaker 1: taken care of themselves. That's the only way you can survive,
19:12
Speaker 1: you know. The greatest testimony is that quarterback in Tampa.
19:16
Speaker 1: You know what are we you know, what are you
19:17
Speaker 1: talking about? But that I was really amazed by that
19:19
Speaker 1: because a lot of times you seem abe a quarterback
19:21
Speaker 1: or a certain position with an offensive alignment and he's
19:24
Speaker 1: still really good. Um, he's a giant human being, and
19:27
Speaker 1: he's you know, he very rarely gets into three point
19:29
Speaker 1: stance if ever, and he's just a giant, you know,
19:32
Speaker 1: he very hard to get around him in pass pro
19:35
Speaker 1: and he just kind of wallows off the ball with
19:37
Speaker 1: you know him, and he just does a great job.
19:39
Speaker 1: A big, big band who's older. By the way, is
19:42
Speaker 1: it Sean McVeigh or Andrew Whitworth because Whitworth. But one
19:47
Speaker 1: of one of the things I think about the Rams
19:49
Speaker 1: offense that that they've always been built on with Sean McVeigh,
19:52
Speaker 1: even though they had this star studded cast of wide receivers,
19:56
Speaker 1: even though one of them is on injured reserve. Has
19:58
Speaker 1: been the foundation of the running game, and Sean McVeigh
20:01
Speaker 1: has always loved play action. Are they still that or
20:04
Speaker 1: have they morphed a little bit with the the star
20:07
Speaker 1: studded cast at wide receiver. They're they're a passing team
20:11
Speaker 1: right now. You know they're They're a team that I
20:13
Speaker 1: don't have the analytics in front of me, r the
20:15
Speaker 1: numbers for you, but just watching them, you know they're
20:18
Speaker 1: a passing team. They're gonna get the ball in hands
20:20
Speaker 1: of the white outse are gonna lies the strength and
20:22
Speaker 1: that's a quarterback throwing the ball. By the way, Yeah,
20:25
Speaker 1: Sean mcveigh's thirty five years of age. Andrew Wentworth turns
20:29
Speaker 1: forty and December twelve. Ram's defense. I wonder if he
20:33
Speaker 1: gets bed checked by the way. I think Andrew Wentworth
20:36
Speaker 1: gets bet checked by showman. I don't think so. Maybe
20:39
Speaker 1: not um Ram's defense coach, Aaron Donald obviously a multiple
20:44
Speaker 1: NFL Defensive Player of the Year, First Team All Pro
20:47
Speaker 1: over and over again. Where do you start with Aaron Donald?
20:51
Speaker 1: Donald he might be the best three technique I've ever seen,
20:53
Speaker 1: you know, and I've seen some great ones. And his quickness,
20:56
Speaker 1: his tenacity, his strength. Uh. You know, Bevels coached against him,
21:00
Speaker 1: so Schottenheimer, so they know him very well. This will
21:02
Speaker 1: be my first time I've heard about him. Uh, incredible
21:05
Speaker 1: respect for him. Uh, but he is you have to
21:09
Speaker 1: count for him every snap and that's a simple you
21:12
Speaker 1: used to slide to him. He gets four hands on him.
21:14
Speaker 1: I mean, it's he's that good of a player. And
21:17
Speaker 1: when I say he's arguably the best three technique that
21:19
Speaker 1: I've seen, that's a lot of that's a lot of
21:21
Speaker 1: football I've watched for thirty five years. He's he's six
21:23
Speaker 1: ft one and two pounds and just looking at the
21:27
Speaker 1: number standpoint, you wouldn't think that somebody could be so exceptional,
21:30
Speaker 1: and he is. And I remember Irvan watching his college
21:33
Speaker 1: tape going, man, this guy is kind of like a
21:35
Speaker 1: little Tasmanian devil. He just never quits. And just a
21:39
Speaker 1: little tidbit when I watched his film, the only guy
21:43
Speaker 1: that I ever saw have great success against him in
21:47
Speaker 1: college was your center Brandon Linder. Really, he was outstanding
21:52
Speaker 1: against Aaron Donald in college. Well, we got the center back,
21:56
Speaker 1: and it's good to have him back, certainly, but they're
21:59
Speaker 1: not only just him. I mean they've got now von Miller,
22:02
Speaker 1: who is probably a first ballot Hall of Famer on
22:05
Speaker 1: one side, and then Leonard Little on the other side.
22:07
Speaker 1: I mean, so this is gonna be a obviously a
22:10
Speaker 1: tough task for your offensive line, and and running the
22:12
Speaker 1: football would certainly help that. It would, and uh, we
22:16
Speaker 1: know some teams run the ball on him a little
22:17
Speaker 1: bit too, but both defensive ends you have. You know,
22:19
Speaker 1: it just cracked me up. And he said, let's go
22:21
Speaker 1: get out Odell Beckham Jr. And let's go by the way.
22:25
Speaker 1: I just remember, never forget that. Trevor looked to me, goes, oh,
22:27
Speaker 1: we get to see von Miller again. And I'm like,
22:29
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? And he's out at the ramps.
22:33
Speaker 1: So very good. But you know what, um our line,
22:36
Speaker 1: when they play their best, are very good. Uh, you
22:39
Speaker 1: just go back to our facing those guy the Cardinals defense,
22:42
Speaker 1: but I think some one of the best defense in
22:43
Speaker 1: the NFL. And we ran eight straight times at him
22:46
Speaker 1: and scored a touchdown. We kept Chandler Jones off our quarterback.
22:50
Speaker 1: You know, von Miller had one sack, but for the
22:52
Speaker 1: most part we hung in there. So, um, let's let's go,
22:55
Speaker 1: let's go play, and let our guys get ready. Let's
22:57
Speaker 1: get these guys ready to let him go play. You know,
23:00
Speaker 1: when I've watched a lot of football, when I said
23:02
Speaker 1: Leonard Little, when I'm going back to an old l A.
23:05
Speaker 1: Ram or should I say St. Louis friends, I mean, wow,
23:08
Speaker 1: That's my question is when you do a survey of
23:12
Speaker 1: the radio show, how many people remember him? I certainly do.
23:16
Speaker 1: I mean he was a good one, that he was
23:18
Speaker 1: a really good football player. But yeah, a little little
23:20
Speaker 1: little back from the back crevices of your minds up
23:23
Speaker 1: the pops out. One guy you might hear before you
23:26
Speaker 1: see is Jalen Ramsey. But when you see him, what
23:30
Speaker 1: do you see in a cornerback out there? I see
23:32
Speaker 1: a guy that wish was here, you know, I wish
23:34
Speaker 1: I'd cut my hands on him because I think, uh,
23:36
Speaker 1: I remember him coming out of Florida. Obviously, in my
23:38
Speaker 1: background of Florida, I knew all about him. One of
23:41
Speaker 1: the best in the game, if not the best of
23:43
Speaker 1: the game. Uh. They move them all. They play him
23:46
Speaker 1: inside and Nicole quite a bit. They know they're not
23:48
Speaker 1: really a true man. They're a match team. But he's
23:51
Speaker 1: just he's the guy they just a little bit like
23:54
Speaker 1: von Miller. He's the best at his job, the three technique.
23:58
Speaker 1: He is the best at his job. And now the
24:00
Speaker 1: corner as the best at their job. So they've done
24:01
Speaker 1: a nice job building this thing, all right, Urban final
24:04
Speaker 1: thought with you heading into week thirteen, keeping the players
24:07
Speaker 1: and the coaches focused and and going forward each week
24:10
Speaker 1: down the stretch here, and it's really for you personally
24:13
Speaker 1: the first time you've really had to kind of deal
24:15
Speaker 1: with this type of adversity and wins and losses. How's
24:19
Speaker 1: it holding up? How do you motivate these guys each week?
24:21
Speaker 1: Moving ahead? Well, I made a comment I could lie
24:23
Speaker 1: to you and say, you know, I'm not a good
24:26
Speaker 1: liar about that. I Uh, losing kills you. It kills you.
24:29
Speaker 1: It takes party away every time you lose. I really
24:32
Speaker 1: believe that, and that's why he works so hard to
24:34
Speaker 1: do what not to lose. And I speak on the
24:37
Speaker 1: out of our staff and players. I mean, we we
24:39
Speaker 1: gotta go win and and we're in a street fight
24:42
Speaker 1: every week. At times. We're right there, you know, twice
24:45
Speaker 1: we walked away with a win, and we gotta have
24:47
Speaker 1: more of those. How do you do that? Just clean
24:48
Speaker 1: things up and people got to make plays. You know,
24:50
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you got to go
24:51
Speaker 1: up like Tavon Austin put us in position to help
24:54
Speaker 1: us go win a game. And that's what that's not.
24:57
Speaker 1: That's everything I'm telling you. It's not a secret. That's
25:00
Speaker 1: how you go win in athletics, particularly game of football.
25:03
Speaker 1: Urban great stuff. Enjoyed the conversation tonight. We'll talk to
25:06
Speaker 1: you again next week. Head coach Urban Meyer with us
25:09
Speaker 1: Back with Lauren the Urban Meyers Show on the Jaguars
25:12
Speaker 1: Radio Network. Welcome Back. The Urban Meyers Show continues along
25:22
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Radio Network. Then welcome back, It's the Urban
25:26
Speaker 1: Meyers Show. J P Shadrick, Jeff Flagmaner thanks to Jaguars
25:31
Speaker 1: head coach Urban Meyer, who joins us in the first
25:33
Speaker 1: half hour every week here on the Jaguars Radio Network.
25:38
Speaker 1: The names all over the place this week, But you
25:41
Speaker 1: know he's flattered, he said about all the name recognition
25:45
Speaker 1: going with these openings in college football. But he has
25:48
Speaker 1: committed to the Jaguars, committed to Jags owners, Shot con
25:52
Speaker 1: and the organization and wants to get this thing right.
25:54
Speaker 1: So I'm glad he's glad he addressed it. Actually, well,
25:57
Speaker 1: I mean that's lucky he had to, because I mean,
25:59
Speaker 1: he has been so wildly successful as a college coach,
26:03
Speaker 1: and it's natural that his name is going to get
26:05
Speaker 1: thrown around and and uh, and the reality is, until
26:10
Speaker 1: you start winning here, that probably will always come up
26:14
Speaker 1: when there is an opening in college. It's just it's
26:16
Speaker 1: just natural. And it's not anybody trying to do anything
26:21
Speaker 1: in a in a in a negative fashion. That's just
26:23
Speaker 1: it's just part of the business. It is it is.
26:27
Speaker 1: And so maybe it's been swept away for the time being.
26:30
Speaker 1: And I don't one thing. J V. Urban's probably sitting
26:33
Speaker 1: there and I was going to ask him this, but
26:36
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't want to go and do that.
26:37
Speaker 1: But he's probably sitting there going, wait a minute, ten million,
26:43
Speaker 1: ten million to go to l s U. Lincoln Riley
26:47
Speaker 1: got more than that to go to sc and got
26:51
Speaker 1: a six million dollar home, use of a private jet.
26:56
Speaker 1: It's my guess that he's doing just fine here. Sure,
27:00
Speaker 1: I'm sure he is, but but still you're probably sitting
27:04
Speaker 1: there going what they like that in get three national championships.
27:16
Speaker 1: That's the times of change. It just goes to show
27:18
Speaker 1: you that college football is at the end of the day,
27:22
Speaker 1: it's it's business. And so for all the purest out
27:26
Speaker 1: there that have said that players shouldn't be paid, I mean,
27:32
Speaker 1: doesn't this kind of speak to that and say maybe
27:36
Speaker 1: the player should get a little something and that now
27:39
Speaker 1: that things are different and they can it's not such
27:42
Speaker 1: a bad thing, right, and the transfer portals open for business,
27:46
Speaker 1: and those guys are moving all over the places different, yeah,
27:50
Speaker 1: and it's good it should. I think that's a I
27:53
Speaker 1: think that's a totally fair thing, especially especially with in
27:56
Speaker 1: light of what some of the things that are happening now.
27:58
Speaker 1: I mean, players should have the ability to have some
28:01
Speaker 1: some freedom of movement and to be able to because
28:03
Speaker 1: I mean, the reality is is that this is a
28:05
Speaker 1: career for some of them, a career to be able
28:08
Speaker 1: to advance to the next level, to monetize their talents.
28:13
Speaker 1: And so why shouldn't they have the ability if they're
28:16
Speaker 1: not playing and and have the ability to be a
28:18
Speaker 1: good player, to move from one place to another. I
28:21
Speaker 1: think it's fair. I was just like in the NFL
28:23
Speaker 1: I've I was always an advocate for free agency. And
28:26
Speaker 1: I remember having conversations with Bruce Coslet back in the
28:31
Speaker 1: nineteen years and we were talking at that point about
28:36
Speaker 1: free agency and he was like, you know, it's it's
28:38
Speaker 1: not a good thing. And Bruce was a player that
28:40
Speaker 1: became a coach, longtime coach for the Cincinnati Bengals, head
28:43
Speaker 1: coach of the Jets when I was there, and I said, Bruce,
28:46
Speaker 1: I said, free agency is gonna do an amazing thing
28:48
Speaker 1: for the game. I said, it's going to give people hope.
28:50
Speaker 1: And I said and on top of that, it's gonna
28:52
Speaker 1: make it a year round conversation. And he's like, I
28:54
Speaker 1: get out of here. You know, he's kind of old school.
28:57
Speaker 1: And uh, and sure enough free agency came about, but
29:00
Speaker 1: it was but that's a good thing. I mean, free
29:02
Speaker 1: NC is good. The portal is good for college and uh,
29:05
Speaker 1: I need to get into coaching apparently, so you need
29:08
Speaker 1: to brush up in my exes and ohse it sounds
29:10
Speaker 1: like we'll come back in a moment. Let' ask you
29:13
Speaker 1: a question real quick here. Yeah, does Lincoln Riley get
29:17
Speaker 1: the like with the jet right that this use of
29:20
Speaker 1: the jet jet. Let's say I want to go get
29:25
Speaker 1: a steak dinner at indian St Elmo's in Indy. Yeah,
29:30
Speaker 1: shrimp cocks and and I'm the head coach of the Trojan.
29:34
Speaker 1: Can I hop in the plane, fly to Indy and
29:38
Speaker 1: grab a shrimp shrump cocktail there? Hey, you know what,
29:41
Speaker 1: keep it running. I'll be back in about an hour
29:43
Speaker 1: and just eat the shrimp cocktail and then say, I
29:47
Speaker 1: want to go to Peter Luker's in New York to
29:49
Speaker 1: get the main course. So so can I? Can I
29:52
Speaker 1: hop from Indianapolis for the appetizer and then have a
29:55
Speaker 1: drink on the plane to go to New York to
29:56
Speaker 1: get a steak at Peter Luver's I mean, and then
29:59
Speaker 1: maybe fly to Boston to get a pie. Who is
30:02
Speaker 1: in the position to say no to that right now?
30:05
Speaker 1: I don't know if many people I would. I would
30:07
Speaker 1: imagine he's got some guideline. But it's just fun thinking
30:10
Speaker 1: of that anyway, because you know, and and why I
30:13
Speaker 1: always think of it in terms of food. I have
30:14
Speaker 1: no idea where you are. I'm a foodie, you are.
30:18
Speaker 1: Let's come back. We'll get a little more into this
30:20
Speaker 1: Jaguars offense. He had some interesting comments tonight about what
30:26
Speaker 1: his offense should be and that changes with the personnel. Obviously.
30:30
Speaker 1: We'll break it that down when we come back. It's
30:32
Speaker 1: the Urban Meyers Show on Jaguars Radio. Wow, Welcome back.
30:44
Speaker 1: The Urban Meyer Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network.
30:48
Speaker 1: Welcome back the Urban Meyers Show, rolling along j P. Shadrick,
30:51
Speaker 1: Jeff Logaman, head coach, Urban Meyer joining us in the
30:54
Speaker 1: first half hour every Tuesday afternoon here on the network.
30:58
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us today. We're getting ready for
31:00
Speaker 1: the Jags of the Rams coming up. And we asked him,
31:03
Speaker 1: what is your ideal offense? What does it look like?
31:05
Speaker 1: What do you know? What's the what does that? What
31:08
Speaker 1: does that answer? And well, he said, who's the quarterback,
31:12
Speaker 1: who's the who's the person I think it's a great
31:15
Speaker 1: answer because literally, I think every offense should be different
31:19
Speaker 1: based on the talent that you do or do not have.
31:22
Speaker 1: I mean, in a perfect world, you'd like to build
31:24
Speaker 1: towards what maybe this ideal that you have, but the
31:28
Speaker 1: reality is you don't always have that. For example, you
31:31
Speaker 1: can't be a uh a drop back passing game if
31:38
Speaker 1: you're Lamar Jackson, that's not what he does best. You
31:41
Speaker 1: can't expect Tom Brady to operate in a large Lamar
31:44
Speaker 1: Jackson offense or vice versa. So it has to be
31:47
Speaker 1: based upon personnel, much like he talked about defensively in college,
31:53
Speaker 1: who say, hey, look we've got these fast defensive ends,
31:56
Speaker 1: and much like coming here to where you've got Caleb
32:00
Speaker 1: and Chase on Smoot and Josh Allen, which are three
32:04
Speaker 1: or four outside linebackers slash hybrid ends that can do both. Okay,
32:09
Speaker 1: well what do they do best? Well, they can do everything,
32:12
Speaker 1: So let's be a multiple defense. So I think that's
32:15
Speaker 1: that's the best approach to have as a coach, and
32:17
Speaker 1: it's a smart it's a smart way to approach business.
32:20
Speaker 1: And I think going forward, you'd like to maybe find
32:23
Speaker 1: pieces that fit with your vision is gonna be. But
32:26
Speaker 1: until you get all those pieces to maybe fit where
32:29
Speaker 1: you'd ultimately like to be, you have to be what
32:31
Speaker 1: they are, which whatever their talents are, utilize their talents.
32:35
Speaker 1: For example, le Viscoschnlt's not a down the field, go
32:38
Speaker 1: route type of guy. Okay, he's kind of a hybrid
32:41
Speaker 1: tight end running back slash receiver. In the middle of
32:44
Speaker 1: the field. When he's got the ball in his hands,
32:46
Speaker 1: he's great think he can run over people, and he
32:49
Speaker 1: has to, and he's got to do a better job
32:51
Speaker 1: with the mental aspect of the game. I mean that
32:53
Speaker 1: fourth and ten were clearly him and the quarterback weren't
32:55
Speaker 1: on the same page. That's not okay. Earlier in the
32:59
Speaker 1: game it looked like you had a little bit of
33:00
Speaker 1: a miscommunication as well. You know, you've worked with a quarterback,
33:05
Speaker 1: and Labisca has worked with a quarterback longer probably than anybody,
33:08
Speaker 1: because he didn't miss any time in preseason. Was there
33:11
Speaker 1: for training camp and everything else. Those things have to
33:14
Speaker 1: be on point, and they weren't on Sunday. So uh.
33:18
Speaker 1: The other receivers, Lakwan Treadwell had four catches fifty three yards.
33:22
Speaker 1: Still like him, JP, I still like him, I do.
33:25
Speaker 1: And Davion Austin had a touchdown catch just real quick
33:28
Speaker 1: on on Treadible. The reason I like him is that
33:32
Speaker 1: you need to be to get your rhythm backed. You
33:35
Speaker 1: need to be more successful running the ball to take
33:37
Speaker 1: some pressure off the quarterback. And Lakwan Treadwell has done
33:40
Speaker 1: an excellent job. He's by far the best blocking wide
33:43
Speaker 1: receiver on this team right now, and he's a contributor
33:46
Speaker 1: on special teams. I'm not talking about a guy that's
33:49
Speaker 1: just lining up and playing special teams and you know,
33:51
Speaker 1: and punching a clock. I mean, he's he's good. And
33:55
Speaker 1: this is a former first round pick that probably got
33:59
Speaker 1: an incredibly big dose of reality to realize that if
34:02
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stay in the game, I've got to be
34:03
Speaker 1: able to do some of these other things. And I
34:05
Speaker 1: give him credit because that's not an easy transition to make,
34:09
Speaker 1: to go from being an expected top end wide receiver
34:12
Speaker 1: to being a wide receiver that that's gonna block and
34:14
Speaker 1: gonna play on special teams and maybe get some catches
34:17
Speaker 1: here every now and again. I give credit to him
34:21
Speaker 1: as a person for being able to to adapt to
34:24
Speaker 1: that role because that's not exactly I'm sure what he
34:28
Speaker 1: envisioned when he was drafted. I mentioned ten Austin had
34:32
Speaker 1: his first touchdown in a couple of years in the NFL,
34:35
Speaker 1: another catch in the game twenty one total yards against
34:39
Speaker 1: the Falcons. And then Marvin Jones Jr. Who has a
34:42
Speaker 1: lengthy streak now of consecutive games with at least one
34:47
Speaker 1: reception straight games now and then he made some really
34:52
Speaker 1: nice catches in the game, four of them in the game.
34:54
Speaker 1: They weren't easy there. There was a couple of them
34:57
Speaker 1: where he had to kind of get the outstretched arms.
35:00
Speaker 1: Had one of them where he dove kind of for
35:03
Speaker 1: the ball a little bit and then rolled for the
35:04
Speaker 1: first down. Great body control and Tavan Austin when he
35:09
Speaker 1: caught that ball in the middle and then made a
35:11
Speaker 1: quick move to get up the field. I was sitting
35:14
Speaker 1: there thinking to myself, where has he been and where
35:17
Speaker 1: has that been for like the last five weeks. Can
35:22
Speaker 1: we not get him the ball in a short area
35:25
Speaker 1: and let his quickness kind of do something after the catch? Yeah,
35:29
Speaker 1: that was I mean, it was good to see. Boy.
35:32
Speaker 1: You'd like to see more of that, and you'd like
35:33
Speaker 1: to have seen more of that already because it's he's
35:36
Speaker 1: been with his team for a while now this year.
35:38
Speaker 1: Yes he has. We'll return in a moment. Jaguars defense
35:42
Speaker 1: with their hands full this week against the l A Rams.
35:46
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford, the receivers and an offense that Ken put
35:50
Speaker 1: some points on the board in l A. And This
35:52
Speaker 1: is the Rban Meyers Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
35:58
Speaker 1: Welcome Back Urban Meyers Show continues along the Jaguars Radio
36:03
Speaker 1: Network Welcome back the Urban Meyers Show, j P Shadrick,
36:06
Speaker 1: Jeff Lockerman, head coach Urban Meyer with us in the
36:09
Speaker 1: first half hour every week here on the network. The
36:11
Speaker 1: Jags in the Los Angeles Rams coming up. Well, they're
36:15
Speaker 1: gonna face the Rams offense. That as Matthew Stafford back there.
36:19
Speaker 1: He's been at it in the league for a long time,
36:21
Speaker 1: playing at a high level. But now they wouldn't got
36:23
Speaker 1: him from Detroit in the off season. It's a really
36:26
Speaker 1: kind of cap off this offense. They've got Cooper Cup,
36:29
Speaker 1: they had Robert Woods, he's hurt. They brought it Odell
36:32
Speaker 1: Beckham Jr. It's only going to be his third game.
36:36
Speaker 1: That's kind of stinks that Robert Woods got hurt. I mean,
36:39
Speaker 1: because that was gonna be you know, the they would
36:43
Speaker 1: have the ability to essentially to run three a lot
36:46
Speaker 1: of three and four wide receiver sets with legitimate guys
36:49
Speaker 1: and and I mean it's good for the Jaguars that
36:52
Speaker 1: they lost him, but I wanted to see all of that.
36:54
Speaker 1: I wanted to see the Rams with all of their weapons,
36:59
Speaker 1: to see what they could do with that this year. Yeah, yeah,
37:03
Speaker 1: I mean it's OK. I mean, you never you always
37:04
Speaker 1: want teams to be able to play at full strength
37:08
Speaker 1: and guys not to get hurt. You know. For example,
37:11
Speaker 1: the injury to Jack Conklin on Monday night, the offensive
37:15
Speaker 1: tackle for the Cleveland Browns, I mean, just turn to go.
37:18
Speaker 1: You feel heartbroken for the guy. Uh, Robert Woods kind
37:21
Speaker 1: of the same way. But but Jack Conklin especially just
37:24
Speaker 1: because he's he's battled a lot of injuries over the
37:27
Speaker 1: last couple of years. He had the a c L
37:30
Speaker 1: and then he was hurt when he came back from that.
37:32
Speaker 1: In my opinion, they rushed him back way too early
37:35
Speaker 1: in Tennessee and then he got the kind I think
37:38
Speaker 1: he had a shoulder after that. And then he tours
37:40
Speaker 1: Pateeller Monday night against I think it was that the buffet.
37:43
Speaker 1: It was the Baltimore Cleveland game. So you always want
37:48
Speaker 1: everybody to be at full strengthened, for everybody to have
37:50
Speaker 1: their their their full arsenal of weapons. And Robert Woods
37:53
Speaker 1: toured in practice of all things. Right, Yeah, it was
37:59
Speaker 1: right after they had acquired Odell Beck days before, Like,
38:02
Speaker 1: are you kidding? So the Jaguars defense is past week.
38:07
Speaker 1: Gave a bunch of rushing yards. A lot of those
38:09
Speaker 1: were early and earlier in the game, as Urban referenced
38:13
Speaker 1: earlier in the show tonight, but they still gave up
38:16
Speaker 1: a bunch of rushing yards in the game. Cordell Or
38:18
Speaker 1: Patterson court darry Old Patterson was the the main target
38:22
Speaker 1: there of course. Last week. Um, you know, they've done
38:25
Speaker 1: a pretty good job. It's Jaguars defense most of the
38:27
Speaker 1: year against the run, though, and you know the Rams
38:30
Speaker 1: aren't going to run it down your throat all the time.
38:32
Speaker 1: You know, they don't have the kind of firepower weapons
38:35
Speaker 1: in the backfield that you know some of these other
38:38
Speaker 1: teams that the Jaguars have seen do have, So that
38:41
Speaker 1: may not be as much of a concern this week.
38:44
Speaker 1: My hope lies JP when you go back to the game.
38:49
Speaker 1: But four games ago or whenever it was, when Buffalo
38:51
Speaker 1: is coming down here and nobody gave the Jaguars a chance.
38:55
Speaker 1: No body, nobody, I mean, I mean nobody, nobody outside
38:59
Speaker 1: this building. You know what happened. They won the game.
39:03
Speaker 1: They well, they held Buffalo to a season low and
39:07
Speaker 1: points and yards and quarterback rating on their way to
39:11
Speaker 1: a victory. And it kind of showed that people have
39:15
Speaker 1: the old saying that on a given on any given Sunday.
39:18
Speaker 1: It's there for a reason. So can the Jaguars go
39:21
Speaker 1: out west and beat the Rams? Sure they can. It's
39:23
Speaker 1: going to require one great effort as a football team,
39:27
Speaker 1: but I think the the game plan has already been
39:31
Speaker 1: shown to them. All you have to do is look
39:35
Speaker 1: at the last three weeks. Teams are being more physical
39:37
Speaker 1: than them, especially the forty Niners game. And when you
39:41
Speaker 1: look at different game plans or blue blueprints to how
39:44
Speaker 1: teams have had success against an opponent, you got to
39:46
Speaker 1: look at it and say can we do that? Like,
39:50
Speaker 1: you can't go out there and do what Green Bay did.
39:53
Speaker 1: You don't. You don't have Aaron Rodgers and you have
39:55
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, but he's not Aaron Rodgers yet. I mean
39:57
Speaker 1: you hope he becomes something like an Aaron rod So
40:01
Speaker 1: can you do what the forty Niners did? Yeah? Maybe
40:05
Speaker 1: run the football and run it effectively and limit the
40:10
Speaker 1: number of throws, put together long drives. Can you do that?
40:15
Speaker 1: Got a chance because you've run the ball pretty well.
40:18
Speaker 1: James Robinson last week, Even though we know that he's not,
40:23
Speaker 1: his numbers drastically improved last week. He was about two
40:28
Speaker 1: yards per carry off his off of his earlier season
40:31
Speaker 1: pace in the two games when he came back from
40:33
Speaker 1: an injury. This past game, he was nearly back to
40:36
Speaker 1: the pre injury level at yards per carry. But we
40:39
Speaker 1: know he's not. But at least it was better. So
40:43
Speaker 1: that gives you hope that. Okay, look, you can be
40:46
Speaker 1: physical against the Rams and keep Matt Stafford in that
40:49
Speaker 1: offense off the field. Hopefully that would be nice. We'll
40:53
Speaker 1: take one last time out and we'll come back with
40:55
Speaker 1: some final thoughts ahead of Week thirteen. We're headed to December.
41:00
Speaker 1: It's here locks time to play your best football and
41:05
Speaker 1: you want the arrow going up. We'll continue to discuss
41:08
Speaker 1: that when we return. This is the Urban Meyer Show
41:10
Speaker 1: on Jaguars Radio. Welcome Back. The Urban Meyer Show continues
41:23
Speaker 1: along the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back to rban Meyer Show,
41:28
Speaker 1: rolling along JP Shaddrick, Jeff Logaman, head coach Urban Meyer
41:31
Speaker 1: in the first half hour every week. Joe Fortunado on
41:34
Speaker 1: the audio, Rent Reber on the video on Jaguars dot Com,
41:37
Speaker 1: and the Jaguars get the Los Angeles Rams in Week
41:39
Speaker 1: thirteen at SOFI Stadium in Inglewood, California, five billion dollar
41:46
Speaker 1: complex south of You gotta remember one thing California prices
41:55
Speaker 1: it is, but apparently it's uh it's spectacular from all
41:59
Speaker 1: the things as you see on television and all the
42:02
Speaker 1: reviews of it. So the Jack's been there before. They
42:05
Speaker 1: went last year. Uh you know broadcast to crew didn't
42:08
Speaker 1: go last. Yeah, we didn't travel last. The guys that
42:11
Speaker 1: were on the team have seen it before and now, uh,
42:14
Speaker 1: you know, it's a team that the Rams need it.
42:17
Speaker 1: They've lost three. They feel like this is their year.
42:19
Speaker 1: They're all in with all these superstars and everything. They're
42:22
Speaker 1: losing football games all of a sudden. Jaguars needed for
42:25
Speaker 1: a different reason, just to get some positivity and and
42:28
Speaker 1: play a complete game. They really haven't done that even
42:31
Speaker 1: in their wins this year. UM full three phase, complete
42:35
Speaker 1: game where they go out and and play well on
42:38
Speaker 1: all sides all game long. I did, I do I
42:41
Speaker 1: want to see. I've said this before, but I think
42:44
Speaker 1: it's still the most important thing and it probably can't
42:47
Speaker 1: be spoken enough, and that this season is about Trevor
42:49
Speaker 1: Lawrence and and getting your young quarterback experience and getting
42:55
Speaker 1: him better and seeing him improve. And so that's the
43:00
Speaker 1: remainder of the season needs to be. And I know
43:02
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, Urban had talked about how he
43:06
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, this past week the offense got
43:08
Speaker 1: a little better. He thought that a couple of weeks ago,
43:11
Speaker 1: Trevor had a good game. And uh, the reality is
43:15
Speaker 1: that you've you've got to start scoring more than fourteen
43:18
Speaker 1: points in a ball game or ten points in a
43:21
Speaker 1: ball game. I think for for most people to look
43:23
Speaker 1: at it and go, yeah, I see that. And and
43:26
Speaker 1: also from the standpoint of Trevors, Trevor Philling, and Trevor
43:30
Speaker 1: is not feeling great about scoring, you know, twenty four
43:33
Speaker 1: points in the last two ball games or how many
43:36
Speaker 1: points has it been in the last five games plus
43:41
Speaker 1: whatever it was fifty seven points in the last five games.
43:45
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just not enough when the season average
43:48
Speaker 1: is twenty three a game, So you have to the
43:51
Speaker 1: NFL average per game is twenty three points a game.
43:54
Speaker 1: So they've got some work to do, and they've they
43:56
Speaker 1: definitely have some time to work on it, and so
43:59
Speaker 1: you can't waste the time that you do have. Network
