0:35
Speaker 1: Jeff Logerman and head coach Urban Meyer with us coach,
0:39
Speaker 1: good afternoon, Good to see you, and how are things
0:41
Speaker 1: so far this week? Oh, good to see you guys,
0:44
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, some progress is made. We still
0:46
Speaker 1: got a long way to go, obviously, and and their
0:49
Speaker 1: goal is getting a w column as soon as possible.
0:52
Speaker 1: The energy and effort of your team both in the
0:55
Speaker 1: game last week and then going back to look at
0:57
Speaker 1: it on tape on Monday, how did the guys respond
1:00
Speaker 1: and coming back in to take a look at a
1:01
Speaker 1: game like that and overall maybe it felt better obviously
1:04
Speaker 1: the result is what you want at the very end
1:06
Speaker 1: of the day, but the energy and effort. You have
1:08
Speaker 1: to be happy with your team. Yeah, you have two
1:10
Speaker 1: new systems of this new system of offense, new system
1:12
Speaker 1: of defense and uh special teams as well. And the
1:16
Speaker 1: one thing that trying to get across here is the
1:18
Speaker 1: best locker rooms. Usually uh find ways to win at
1:21
Speaker 1: some point, and I can't be I'm not disappointed all
1:25
Speaker 1: with their locker room. I'm very pleased with a matter
1:27
Speaker 1: of fact that uh, you know, Jacksonville and nine oh
1:30
Speaker 1: four and has been through some tough times here, so
1:33
Speaker 1: let's do the best we can. We had a good
1:34
Speaker 1: crowd come out and uh we took the opening drive
1:38
Speaker 1: and went right down the field on him, and then
1:41
Speaker 1: uh you know, kind of slowed down on offense. Defense
1:44
Speaker 1: hung in there and made some great stops for us,
1:45
Speaker 1: and then we ignite the stadium with a hundred three
1:48
Speaker 1: kickoff yard return hundred yard uh hundred three yard kickoff
1:52
Speaker 1: return to get us within uh almost a score, you know,
1:55
Speaker 1: if we would have made the two point conversion. So
1:57
Speaker 1: our guys came in and uh we we took the
2:00
Speaker 1: two coordinators, took time and showed them the There are
2:04
Speaker 1: some crucial errors made that uh, very fixable errors that
2:09
Speaker 1: would have gave us really would have moved us. It
2:11
Speaker 1: had fourteen to three at one point. That's that's one
2:14
Speaker 1: that you just wish you had that one backban. One
2:17
Speaker 1: thing that was very apparent from game one to game
2:20
Speaker 1: two as far as organizationally, the communication, the lack of
2:23
Speaker 1: self inflicted wounds. Those things got cleaned up. And because
2:27
Speaker 1: you cleaned them up, it gave you a chance. Yeah,
2:30
Speaker 1: well that's you know, the first you think we'd get
2:34
Speaker 1: that nonsense out of the way in the first three
2:35
Speaker 1: games of the preseason, but we made some mistakes at
2:38
Speaker 1: Houston and came back then are much cleaner, Like you said,
2:42
Speaker 1: a few penalties but uh not not many and uh
2:46
Speaker 1: still too many. But uh, I thought the execution was decent,
2:50
Speaker 1: you know. The offense, we just gotta make some more place,
2:52
Speaker 1: you know, and take care of the football, you know,
2:54
Speaker 1: And the statistics show that if you're plus one of
2:57
Speaker 1: the turnover ratio, and this is for the last thirty years,
3:00
Speaker 1: just the last ten, it doesn't matter, you know, three
3:02
Speaker 1: yards in the cloud of dust like it was, you know,
3:04
Speaker 1: or the information that it was thirty years ago, then
3:07
Speaker 1: twenty years ago a little more spread out. Now it's
3:08
Speaker 1: a spread game. It's still if you're plus one in
3:11
Speaker 1: a turnover game, you're sixty seven percent chance of winning
3:14
Speaker 1: a game. And we're not getting them on defense, and uh,
3:18
Speaker 1: we're turning over. So we've got to fix that. Well,
3:20
Speaker 1: And you ended up minus two and that's two weeks
3:22
Speaker 1: in a row where you were minus two and then
3:24
Speaker 1: minus three the previous week. How do you flip that?
3:28
Speaker 1: And part of that is protecting the ball, but then
3:31
Speaker 1: also part of that is finding a way to get
3:34
Speaker 1: a takeaway on defense, something that the defense has yet
3:36
Speaker 1: to be able to do well. We have a plan
3:39
Speaker 1: to win here, and it's a plan to win I've
3:40
Speaker 1: used really for twenty years, and that's the number one
3:42
Speaker 1: that's played great defense. And how do you play great defense?
3:45
Speaker 1: It's not just defense, it's the special teams not putting
3:48
Speaker 1: in harm's way the defense and harms way. It's the
3:50
Speaker 1: offense take care of the ball. And and we didn't
3:52
Speaker 1: do that last two weeks. The defense held him to
3:55
Speaker 1: field goals. One of the turnovers were bound in there.
3:58
Speaker 1: So we just got to take care of the ball,
3:59
Speaker 1: take care of each other. And you know, I always
4:01
Speaker 1: tell people the rule too that of all interceptions are
4:05
Speaker 1: usually the quarterback and misread or poor throw, but then
4:09
Speaker 1: is on the white out could be a tip ball protection,
4:12
Speaker 1: So it's not always a quarterback and we just gotta
4:15
Speaker 1: take care of all. Hey, Gerban urban Meyer with us
4:18
Speaker 1: on the urban Meyer Show, and to that end a
4:21
Speaker 1: little bit. There's been a conversation the last day or
4:23
Speaker 1: so since the game about uh going down the field
4:26
Speaker 1: with the football for Trevor Lawrence and then maybe looking
4:29
Speaker 1: to take some checked outs. You know, if if he
4:31
Speaker 1: checks down all the time, people will say, oh, he's
4:33
Speaker 1: not pushing the ball down the field enough. There's gotta
4:35
Speaker 1: be a balance there somehow. How do you find that? Well, yeah,
4:39
Speaker 1: you can't worry about what people are telling you to do.
4:41
Speaker 1: It's the defense tells you what to do. You know,
4:44
Speaker 1: if the defense is sitting underneath something, you check the
4:46
Speaker 1: ball down. And there's also times that you gotta go
4:49
Speaker 1: scramble and run and and get positive yards. He did
4:52
Speaker 1: that yesterday to big or Sunday had a big first
4:55
Speaker 1: down and you see it all over the league that
4:57
Speaker 1: you know this is this is uh. There there's not
5:00
Speaker 1: many weak spots out there when you're facing an NFL
5:03
Speaker 1: team and at times you're going to be covered, so
5:05
Speaker 1: go get you to scramble around make some plays and
5:07
Speaker 1: and he certainly has the ability to do that. The
5:10
Speaker 1: one thing I love about Trevor Urban is that his
5:13
Speaker 1: eyes are always down the field. We talked about that
5:15
Speaker 1: last week a little bit. And then the two interceptions
5:17
Speaker 1: that he had in this ballgame, one of them was
5:20
Speaker 1: a second and three after a really nice James Robinson run.
5:24
Speaker 1: Yet the other one was on a first and fifteen,
5:26
Speaker 1: and obviously, with the down and distance and and not
5:28
Speaker 1: really needing to push the ball down the field, that's
5:32
Speaker 1: probably a little disappointing. But he's a young player and
5:34
Speaker 1: he's learning, and he's probably got to learn that. It's
5:37
Speaker 1: a hard lesson, but he's probably got to learn it. Yeah.
5:40
Speaker 1: I've been around great quarterbacks. Really, I've been fortunate in
5:43
Speaker 1: my entire career, and this guy is special. This guy
5:46
Speaker 1: is a guy that, uh, he's getting better every week.
5:49
Speaker 1: He works his tail off. He's a guy that I
5:52
Speaker 1: don't want to say he's unfazed, but he's just bounces
5:54
Speaker 1: right back. And that's exactly what you want out of
5:56
Speaker 1: your quarterback. Coach. There was a moment in the game
5:58
Speaker 1: speaking of a Trevorlawrence that he was almost rolled up
6:02
Speaker 1: on and the lower leg there on the left leg,
6:05
Speaker 1: the front leg of his throwing stands and uh, very
6:08
Speaker 1: fortunately he didn't come away with an injury there. What
6:11
Speaker 1: was your thought when you saw that play unraveling? Oh,
6:15
Speaker 1: just the same thing. You know, that's the worst part
6:17
Speaker 1: of the staring game as the injuries, and especially if
6:19
Speaker 1: it's your uh more and pit quarterback. So I'll tell
6:23
Speaker 1: you what. Our offensive line for the most part against
6:25
Speaker 1: those two pass rushers. One's von Miller, the you know,
6:28
Speaker 1: a premier pass rusher, and then Chubb the other guy
6:31
Speaker 1: on the other side. Very good player, and we're gonna
6:32
Speaker 1: have her handsful this week against the Cardinals. It's every week.
6:35
Speaker 1: But they hung in there. You know, we had one
6:37
Speaker 1: sack and I was on a twist by von so
6:41
Speaker 1: John Taylor and Camp Robinson really hung in there. Pretty good.
6:45
Speaker 1: Urban on when they actually replay the replay of Trevor
6:49
Speaker 1: kind of getting bent over inside the stadium, it was
6:51
Speaker 1: kind of a collective gas between everybody and the stadium.
6:54
Speaker 1: And rightly so. And you talk about the offensive line's performance,
6:57
Speaker 1: one of the things that that I was impressed with
6:59
Speaker 1: is that here you are getting ready to face a
7:02
Speaker 1: Broncos team that clearly has a really good football player
7:04
Speaker 1: in von Miller. Bradley Chub was kind of to be
7:07
Speaker 1: determined based upon his health and where would he be
7:10
Speaker 1: out as far as level of play, But you guys
7:12
Speaker 1: had a plan from a coaching staff standpoint. I liked it,
7:16
Speaker 1: and that at times John Taylor and Cam Robinson were
7:19
Speaker 1: on their own, but at times they got some help.
7:22
Speaker 1: And that's always good to see. Yeah, Coach bevill and
7:26
Speaker 1: a shot and really do a nice job with the
7:28
Speaker 1: war hop on that. And that was that's gonna be
7:31
Speaker 1: the same thing this week with number fifty five for
7:33
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. You better know where he's at every snap. Alright, guys,
7:36
Speaker 1: let's come back in a moment. Coach will look back
7:38
Speaker 1: one more a few minutes here of the last ballgame
7:41
Speaker 1: against the Denver Broncos. A little later we'll look ahead
7:44

7:56
Speaker 1: We're off and runn against the Urban Meyers Show on
7:58
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Radio Network. Wow, welcome back. The Urban Meyer
8:10
Speaker 1: Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network head coach Urban
8:14
Speaker 1: Meyer with us on the Urban Meyer Show. J P, Shadrick,
8:16
Speaker 1: Jeff log have been along with the Jaguars head coach
8:19
Speaker 1: getting ready for Week three, the Jaguars and the Arizona
8:21
Speaker 1: Cardinals coming up at t i A. Bank Field. We're
8:25
Speaker 1: rewinding though two week to our final thoughts before we
8:29
Speaker 1: put it to bed and move ahead to week number three.
8:33
Speaker 1: The wide receivers for this team, Let's start with Marvin
8:36
Speaker 1: Jones Jr. A guy who's just battling through ten year vet.
8:41
Speaker 1: You know, he's he came through with a big touchdown
8:43
Speaker 1: catch in last week's game, nice diving grab in the
8:46
Speaker 1: in the back right corner of the end zone and
8:49
Speaker 1: just kind of carries the load a lot of times
8:51
Speaker 1: on offense, and uh, you know, he's been at it
8:54
Speaker 1: for a long time. That's what you expected from him,
8:55
Speaker 1: I think coming into this season. Yeah, he was with
8:58
Speaker 1: Darryl Bevil at the Detroit Ins and we knew we
9:01
Speaker 1: had some young talented receivers here. With Olvisca and DJ
9:06
Speaker 1: and we wanted a veteran guy, you know, we wanted
9:08
Speaker 1: a guy that has experienced, he knows how to handle himself,
9:11
Speaker 1: take care of his body, prepper prepper games. And he's
9:14
Speaker 1: been he's been better and I even imagined. You know,
9:17
Speaker 1: he's a consummate professional athlete the way he takes care
9:20
Speaker 1: of his body and then the way he works at practice,
9:23
Speaker 1: and so he's been you know, he Trevor wants him
9:25
Speaker 1: in the game too, because Trevor really trusts him. And
9:28
Speaker 1: we're still working. You know, we're still not all on
9:30
Speaker 1: the same page with the rest of the white Outs.
9:33
Speaker 1: You know, we've had some injuries. Filled Dorset was dinged
9:35
Speaker 1: up a little bit obviously, d J. Charkmissed almost all
9:37
Speaker 1: a training camp. So we're still a work in progress
9:41
Speaker 1: at the receiving position. You can tell urban that the
9:45
Speaker 1: amount of time that Trevor and Marvin had in in preseason,
9:48
Speaker 1: as well as Laviska because he didn't miss any practices
9:51
Speaker 1: that I don't want to say the chemistry is great,
9:53
Speaker 1: but the chemistry is better maybe then with some of
9:55
Speaker 1: the other wide receivers, and it takes time to develop
9:58
Speaker 1: that with everybody else. And I go back to the story.
10:00
Speaker 1: We had an opportunity to watch Tom Brady practice a
10:03
Speaker 1: few years ago, and he wanted his guys in the
10:05
Speaker 1: huddle and nobody else because he knew that how valuable
10:09
Speaker 1: that time. Wasn't training camp, it certainly is. And and
10:13
Speaker 1: I just to broke your heart because DJ was having
10:15
Speaker 1: a good training camp, but when he broke his fingers
10:17
Speaker 1: out and he missed all the preseason games. And then
10:20
Speaker 1: there's it's really a unique skill set, you know, just
10:24
Speaker 1: the combination the work that you just mentioned Jeff about
10:27
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks and receivers being on the same page because
10:29
Speaker 1: every coverage is gonna be tight. And then you know
10:32
Speaker 1: with the depth of routes, the understanding, you know, the
10:35
Speaker 1: different releases, et cetera that these receivers have, and and
10:39
Speaker 1: him and Marvin are on the same page as as
10:40
Speaker 1: well as anybody in the game. You had a big
10:43
Speaker 1: play on that first drive, a little route to James O'Shaughnessy,
10:47
Speaker 1: you're tight end and high ankle spraining. You're gonna be
10:50
Speaker 1: without him for a couple of weeks. And I know
10:53
Speaker 1: that you've talked recently about how you can replace a
10:56
Speaker 1: guy like him, and it's not gonna be easy. You
10:57
Speaker 1: have Jacob Hollister, who you were able to acquire awful
11:00
Speaker 1: waivers from. I believe the Seattle Seahawks, how will try
11:04
Speaker 1: to find somebody to fill his shoes or to replace
11:08
Speaker 1: his role. Go, well, that was a big play in
11:10
Speaker 1: that opening drive, first third down. We hit it, you know,
11:12
Speaker 1: probably yard catch by Shaughnessy and high ankle sprain. So
11:17
Speaker 1: you're right that there's two unique spots about tight end.
11:20
Speaker 1: You know, once we call him the y and that's
11:23
Speaker 1: the big blocker, but he's also receiving. Then you've got
11:25
Speaker 1: more of the athlete h and uh Hollister we just
11:30
Speaker 1: brought in and he was with uh Brian Schottenheimer at
11:35
Speaker 1: Seattle and they you know, we went got him when
11:37
Speaker 1: he was released by someone. And he's he's already shown
11:40
Speaker 1: flashes in uh practice, Yeah, I saw that before the game.
11:44
Speaker 1: You're tight ends coach todder Bown working with him intensely.
11:47
Speaker 1: How long does it take to learn a new playbook
11:50
Speaker 1: in the NFL for a guy like that, It's all
11:52
Speaker 1: new to me, you know. Uh, you know, here you
11:55
Speaker 1: are shaking guy's hand. He's playing for you, but he's
11:59
Speaker 1: with he's been with of all, he's very smart guy.
12:01
Speaker 1: I found that out last week, and uh, it's great
12:03
Speaker 1: attitude and he's he's a twitchy guy. That means he's athletic.
12:06
Speaker 1: He can get out of break is pretty good in
12:07
Speaker 1: good hands. Head coach Erman Wire with us on the
12:10
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer Show. The running game coach James Robinson eleven
12:14
Speaker 1: carries forty seven yards. Carlos I had had a couple
12:17
Speaker 1: of touches in the game as well, and even gave
12:19
Speaker 1: Chanalt to handoff last week as well. Um, when the
12:23
Speaker 1: run game is there, it feels like it's been effective.
12:26
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of getting it maybe a little
12:28
Speaker 1: bit more balanced. We touched on that a moment ago. Um,
12:32
Speaker 1: what is the focus this week on the running game
12:34
Speaker 1: for your team? There can be a good you know,
12:37
Speaker 1: a good defense. We're playing with the Fomis Cardinals, but
12:40
Speaker 1: we have been running the ball decent, and we don't
12:42
Speaker 1: run the ball enough. You know, we find ourselves getting
12:45
Speaker 1: behind a little bit in the second half, and so
12:47
Speaker 1: we just need to be more consistent. That's the word that,
12:50
Speaker 1: uh that you're gonna hear quite a bit because we're
12:52
Speaker 1: not that we're showing flashes, but we're not being consistent.
12:56
Speaker 1: And running game is a perfect example. Yeah, a little
12:58
Speaker 1: more on James Robins and too. I mean, what have
13:01
Speaker 1: you seen when he has been able to touch the football?
13:03
Speaker 1: Has he been as advertised to you? I know you
13:05
Speaker 1: didn't see him in person last year. You've you've heard
13:08
Speaker 1: all the stories about his exploits a season ago in
13:11
Speaker 1: his rookie campaign, as he has advertised for you, he's
13:15
Speaker 1: as advertised as a person. He's arguably the hardest working
13:18
Speaker 1: guy on the team. You know, he's a guy that
13:20
Speaker 1: we worked so hard. I want to get him to
13:22
Speaker 1: the second level to see him run because you know,
13:24
Speaker 1: last year we just didn't have many big plays and
13:26
Speaker 1: you know last week we did not and it's it's
13:29
Speaker 1: so hard to move a ball consistently. You know, the
13:31
Speaker 1: first drive we had two really three big plays. We
13:34
Speaker 1: had one of Shaughnessy Marvin Jones on a crossing route
13:37
Speaker 1: and the Marvin Jones with a touchdown. Uh. You know,
13:40
Speaker 1: in the run game, you need to you know, I
13:42
Speaker 1: know it's great to get three, four, four or five
13:44
Speaker 1: yards whatever once while you gotta pop one. And that's
13:47
Speaker 1: another reason why we went after Travis e Tianna's you know,
13:49
Speaker 1: he's a big play waiting to happen. So, uh, he's
13:52
Speaker 1: as advertised to answer a question James Robinson, and we
13:55
Speaker 1: just I'm dying to get him in the second level.
13:57
Speaker 1: Are you talked about trying to find a little bit
14:00
Speaker 1: more balanced offensively? How do you go about that? Is
14:03
Speaker 1: that one of those things that sometimes as a coach
14:05
Speaker 1: you gotta fight the urge to want to maybe make
14:07
Speaker 1: a pass on a maybe not a favorable down and distance.
14:11
Speaker 1: How do you go about that, maybe when the score
14:13
Speaker 1: is fairly close like it was in this past game. Yeah,
14:16
Speaker 1: just more disciplined and uh, you know I sometimes got
14:18
Speaker 1: to pop in the headset maybe and and just to
14:21
Speaker 1: say that, but I kind of been letting, uh, the
14:24
Speaker 1: coordinators go with it because we're still all new and
14:27
Speaker 1: we're still working through some kinks and and uh, you know,
14:30
Speaker 1: I don't want to bother them, but we do. And
14:32
Speaker 1: and Coach Bell will understands that and certainly hop wot's
14:35
Speaker 1: to run it every down, So we just want to
14:37
Speaker 1: we gotta have Spellance one of the players that really
14:40
Speaker 1: stood out in my mind. And I wanted to bring
14:42
Speaker 1: this guy up because I know you've got some great
14:44
Speaker 1: respect for him, Brandon Lender, and it was on a
14:46
Speaker 1: pretty good James Robinson run where Lender snaps the ball
14:50
Speaker 1: in shotgun to Trevor Lawrence and then Trevor had actually
14:54
Speaker 1: changed the formation, had gotten James Robins who would line
14:56
Speaker 1: up on his leftover to his right, and then once
14:59
Speaker 1: Brandon Letter snap that ball, he's got to pull around
15:01
Speaker 1: to his left and pick up a linebacker. Not many
15:03
Speaker 1: centers in the National Football League have the wherewithal to
15:06
Speaker 1: where they can snap the ball and then have the
15:08
Speaker 1: agility and the awareness to make that block and pull
15:12
Speaker 1: around from the center position. I thought it was really
15:14
Speaker 1: nice play. Yeah, I think he's one of the top
15:16
Speaker 1: centers in the league. He's an established veteran. He's even
15:19
Speaker 1: better person and great leader, and he wants to win
15:22
Speaker 1: in the worst way. You know, he's here in seventeen
15:24
Speaker 1: when they when the Jacks had that great year, and
15:27
Speaker 1: you know, he he you know, I've had some really
15:29
Speaker 1: good conversations with them. I love the guy, and uh,
15:32
Speaker 1: we all go to work for a lot of reasons.
15:33
Speaker 1: I got to work for guys like that. You know,
15:35
Speaker 1: we've got to get that guy some some wins. Urban
15:38
Speaker 1: will come back in a moment, a little bit more
15:39

16:37
Speaker 1: great schedule in October as well. Check it out at
16:39
Speaker 1: Daily's Place dot com. Alright, the challenge I had this week.
16:42
Speaker 1: The Arizona Cardinals come in with one of the hottest
16:45
Speaker 1: offenses in football. Coach Kyler Murray leading the way. And
16:50
Speaker 1: you know, we talked a couple of weeks ago about
16:51
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor his ability to extend plays. This guy feels
16:55
Speaker 1: like takes it to another level. He has a baseball background.
16:58
Speaker 1: I know he was an outfielder, but some the throws
17:00
Speaker 1: he makes it almost seems like it's the left side
17:03
Speaker 1: of the infield. Playing baseball, you played infield, you kind
17:06
Speaker 1: of get that the twists and the fade away throws
17:08
Speaker 1: and that kind of thing, and it's always on target somehow.
17:11
Speaker 1: I mean, this guy can really extend to play and
17:13
Speaker 1: be a problem. He can. He's electric, you know, he's Uh,
17:17
Speaker 1: we had trouble sacking Tyrod and then also there was
17:20
Speaker 1: another quarterback we struggled getting on the ground. But yeah,
17:24
Speaker 1: he moves around really really well, and um, you know
17:28
Speaker 1: we were just left the defensive meaning there's we have
17:31
Speaker 1: a plan in place the guys. You know, he's he's
17:34
Speaker 1: obviously not very big, so he can't see at times,
17:36
Speaker 1: and he just creates space back there and keeps his
17:40
Speaker 1: eyes down field. He's got very talented group of receivers
17:42
Speaker 1: as well. He's accounted for nine touchdown, seven passing, two
17:47
Speaker 1: on the ground. And when I turned the film on
17:50
Speaker 1: to watch him, it kind of reminded me of the
17:52
Speaker 1: first Rocky movie when Rocky's trying to chase the chicken
17:57
Speaker 1: and the in the alleyway. I mean, he's he's a
18:00
Speaker 1: guy that just as hard to get ahold of and
18:02
Speaker 1: he's quick as all get out. But Rocky did eventually
18:05
Speaker 1: catch him. So we gotta catch this guy. Uh yeah,
18:08
Speaker 1: he's you know that there's uh you know, if you
18:11
Speaker 1: stay in coverage and you're forced him to play the game,
18:14
Speaker 1: that's what we're just It's it's really difficult to do,
18:16
Speaker 1: but that's gonna be the plan is forced him to
18:19
Speaker 1: play and not just give him all the space that
18:21
Speaker 1: a guy like that needs. One time, or been happened
18:26
Speaker 1: in the past before, but one of the things that
18:28
Speaker 1: you got with a great mobile quarterback, do you try
18:30
Speaker 1: to put as much defensive speed on the field as
18:34
Speaker 1: you can. I mean, you always want to do that,
18:36
Speaker 1: but in some cases, do you say, Okay, we don't
18:38
Speaker 1: need as many big guys because we want to ensure
18:41
Speaker 1: Because I've seen it in the past before where some
18:43
Speaker 1: teams will end up using a linebacker or safety or
18:46
Speaker 1: a defensive back to almost play like a spy technique
18:49
Speaker 1: on a quarterback that has great mobility like Kyler Murray's.
18:53
Speaker 1: That's something you even consider. It's it's uh something you consider.
18:57
Speaker 1: But there's you know you're gonna there's you're pulling someone
19:01
Speaker 1: from maybe coverage, You're pulling someone from the pass rush
19:04
Speaker 1: lane when you when you do that, and so you
19:05
Speaker 1: have to be very judicious about that. Um, you know,
19:09
Speaker 1: if this was just the Kyler Murray show, then of course.
19:12
Speaker 1: But he's got good running back, he's got very good
19:15
Speaker 1: white outs, uh, you know, one of the best in
19:17
Speaker 1: the league. And Hopkins, so you just got to be
19:19
Speaker 1: very judicious about and change up the looks on him.
19:22
Speaker 1: You mentioned DeAndre Hopkins. They've got some other receivers there too.
19:25
Speaker 1: Of course, Christian Kirk A J. Greene is on this team.
19:28
Speaker 1: He's been around the league forever, it feels like. But
19:30
Speaker 1: I know, the name Rondel Moore probably brings up some
19:33
Speaker 1: bad memories for you and your last college loss, your
19:36
Speaker 1: thirty second career loss in ten with Perdue. He had
19:40
Speaker 1: a big game that day for the boiler Makers. And
19:43
Speaker 1: he's the leading receiver and targets, catches and yards for
19:46
Speaker 1: Arizona and He's not a huge guy. He's a shifty
19:50
Speaker 1: little guy and can go play. Yeah, very powerful athlete,
19:53
Speaker 1: though he's twitched. Like you said, he he heard his
19:56
Speaker 1: badly when we played him, with a lot of respect
19:58
Speaker 1: for him as an athlete and competitor. One of the
20:01
Speaker 1: guys though that that I got great respect for. We
20:04
Speaker 1: watched him for a long time with Houston texts and
20:06
Speaker 1: some great battles with some past Jaguars cornerbacks, namely Jalen Ramsey.
20:11
Speaker 1: But DeAndre Hopkins is this guy can do it all.
20:14
Speaker 1: He's got great catchability, he slippery, he has speed, and
20:19
Speaker 1: the one thing about him is that he's one of
20:21
Speaker 1: the greatest competitors urban that I've ever seen. And his
20:23
Speaker 1: uh his uh balls, it's not you know he's got
20:27
Speaker 1: Just watched him again and again and he his the
20:29
Speaker 1: ability to go attack the ball out of space and
20:32
Speaker 1: beat people to the ball and in his hand his
20:34
Speaker 1: hand eye coordinations that elite. On the other side, that's
20:38
Speaker 1: slowing down that pass for us. We talked a little
20:40
Speaker 1: bit about that running the football, but when you're in
20:43
Speaker 1: those passing situations. Chandler Jones had those five sacks in
20:46
Speaker 1: Week one, we know what j J. Watt can do.
20:48
Speaker 1: He's been at this at a high level for a
20:50
Speaker 1: long long time, just wearing different threads. Now, those those
20:53
Speaker 1: two guys, veteran players in the league, and you gotta
20:55
Speaker 1: have planned for both of them. Yeah, Jones really went
20:59
Speaker 1: after the ten Ce Titan, who's a heck of a player,
21:01
Speaker 1: their left tackle and a bunch of sacks, cup to
21:03
Speaker 1: sack fumbles. And then J. J. Watt. Someone made a
21:06
Speaker 1: comment to me, he's not the same J. J. Watt,
21:08
Speaker 1: And I watched my videotape and he's the same J. J.
21:11
Speaker 1: Watt that I remember. And that's a relentless pursuit to
21:14
Speaker 1: the football, tough as nails. So you know, our online
21:18
Speaker 1: really did a decent job last week. They're gonna we
21:21
Speaker 1: count on him again this week. Great focus always needed
21:25
Speaker 1: for for a team like this Arizona Cardinals football team.
21:28
Speaker 1: And probably the greatest challenge German is some of the
21:30
Speaker 1: things that can happen all schedule, going back to the
21:32
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball for the Cardinals, how do
21:35
Speaker 1: you prepare for the all scheduled plays? Say? Is that
21:38
Speaker 1: something that you can say, Hey, look do you in practice?
21:41
Speaker 1: Do you have somebody play that role to maybe have
21:44
Speaker 1: the play extend and and have maybe a running back
21:48
Speaker 1: act as a quarterback. How do you do that? Yeah,
21:50
Speaker 1: the problem I'm finding out in the NFL is just
21:52
Speaker 1: don't get that many reps during the week in practice.
21:55
Speaker 1: You know, you're you're down to forty eight. Now you've
21:57
Speaker 1: got the practice squad and uh, we're still finalizing our
22:01
Speaker 1: practice plans right now. But you know, I'm in the
22:03
Speaker 1: world I lived in when you had ninety players you practiced.
22:06
Speaker 1: You know, you had twenty five reps of Pascal. We
22:08
Speaker 1: get six now you had, you know, multiple reps of
22:12
Speaker 1: teamwork and then you could say, okay, let's do a
22:14
Speaker 1: couple of scramble drills. But you don't, you know, you
22:17
Speaker 1: just got to be very judicious about how much time
22:19
Speaker 1: you're you know, you're keeping these guys on the field
22:21
Speaker 1: and getting arrested up. So we will have a plan
22:23
Speaker 1: where not it's not solidified as we speak, all right,
22:27
Speaker 1: Urban coming back home second week and I wrote t
22:29
Speaker 1: I a bank Field, and you touched on this after
22:32
Speaker 1: the game. The intensity that the fans brought in moments
22:35
Speaker 1: in that game, especially with the early lead and then
22:38
Speaker 1: maybe the late rally that just fell a little bit
22:40
Speaker 1: short last week. I gotta do it again this week
22:43
Speaker 1: in the in the home field and have everybody ready
22:45
Speaker 1: to go against the Cardinals. Yeah, I said on behalf
22:48
Speaker 1: of our team and our players, and you know I
22:49
Speaker 1: have just we all have a dream of the stadium
22:52
Speaker 1: just exploding with energy, and I know what's happened before,
22:55
Speaker 1: and we have to do our part. We're still building
22:58
Speaker 1: a team here and uh, building an organization and uh,
23:02
Speaker 1: but I just want to tell them thanks for being there.
23:04
Speaker 1: And I heard him, We listened. You know, they helped
23:07
Speaker 1: us in that game. And uh, I'm gonna ask him
23:09
Speaker 1: to come back again and Urban we haven't talked on
23:12
Speaker 1: this yet. Special teams. Josh Lambo coming out of the
23:16
Speaker 1: gates a little bit struggling obviously, has missed three kicks
23:20
Speaker 1: and I know you've got great confidence in them. I do.
23:23
Speaker 1: And how do you do that? First of all, he's
23:25
Speaker 1: had a heck of a career. Second of all, and
23:27
Speaker 1: I told him this, he's this hard at working specialist
23:29
Speaker 1: of I've ever had, and we've had some great ones.
23:32
Speaker 1: He's uh, you know, takes care of himself. He works
23:34
Speaker 1: extremely hard. That goes from January, from the first day
23:36
Speaker 1: we were here and so, and I've seen him hit
23:39
Speaker 1: it in practice, so you know, we do have confidence
23:42
Speaker 1: in Josh. The final thought on that urban you know,
23:45
Speaker 1: we noticed in at least in training camp that in
23:48
Speaker 1: the operation of field goals in practice, you're right there
23:52
Speaker 1: off the holder's hip, like right in the middle of
23:54
Speaker 1: the thing. What does that do for you and what
23:56
Speaker 1: does that do for Josh? Well, Josh actually doesn't like
23:59
Speaker 1: that as my so I got out of his way.
24:01
Speaker 1: I like to watch the mechanics of the you know,
24:03
Speaker 1: time it, and then I also like to see and
24:05
Speaker 1: like us, you can you know where the foot hits
24:07
Speaker 1: the ball, you know, I like to see that part
24:09
Speaker 1: of it. But he likes his space, and so we
24:11
Speaker 1: gave him his space, and uh but we still obviously
24:14
Speaker 1: time it and you just I have to watch on
24:17
Speaker 1: film with the you know, I have to contact with
24:19
Speaker 1: the football. One thing is for certain having a good
24:23
Speaker 1: operation like what you're talking about is critical to any
24:26
Speaker 1: kicker success and and your center and especially you're a holder.
24:30
Speaker 1: Logan Cook, who I think is one of the better
24:32
Speaker 1: holders in the National Football League, not to mention he's
24:34
Speaker 1: one of the better punners. He certainly is a good
24:36
Speaker 1: one and he's a leader in our team. You know,
24:38
Speaker 1: I made the point at the ross our long snapper
24:42
Speaker 1: and he got Logan and Lampeo. Those are three of
24:44
Speaker 1: our hardest for you guys on our team, and right now,
24:46
Speaker 1: special teams is one of is our strongest unit on
24:49
Speaker 1: the team. Our coverage units have been fantastic. We average.
24:54
Speaker 1: We gave up a twenty yard return when those a
24:56
Speaker 1: sixty five yard punt, so it's still a forty net.
24:59
Speaker 1: So um, that's our strongest you know, that's part of
25:02
Speaker 1: our culture and those three are a big part of it. Urban,
25:06
Speaker 1: thanks for the time as always. Good luck to you
25:08
Speaker 1: this week and let's get a w against the Cardinals.
25:11
Speaker 1: Thanks good to be with you guys. Head coach Urban
25:12
Speaker 1: Meyer joining us on the Urban Meyers Show back after
25:16
Speaker 1: this on the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back. It's the
25:23
Speaker 1: Urban Meyers Show and j Q Shadrick was Jeff flog
25:26
Speaker 1: him on our thanks to the Jaguars head coach Urban
25:28
Speaker 1: Meyer joining us each Tuesday afternoon for the first half
25:31
Speaker 1: of the program. And there's things to review there. I
25:35
Speaker 1: think the loss to produce still hurts him. Yeah, that
25:40
Speaker 1: was about the shortest answer he could have given. You there, Jake,
25:43
Speaker 1: it might have been a little aggressive on my part. Sorry,
25:45
Speaker 1: Urban Um. And then he's a Darious Rocker fan, Okay,
25:49
Speaker 1: then we'll get that. He'll be at that show. Um.
25:52
Speaker 1: But he likes the energy that his team has shown.
25:55
Speaker 1: I think as the game went along, they they still
25:59
Speaker 1: played hard. Um. There's still a lot to work on
26:02
Speaker 1: with this team though, and they're gonna go attack this thing. Well.
26:05
Speaker 1: I mean, look, they got a lot to work on
26:07
Speaker 1: and and part of it is it just takes time.
26:11
Speaker 1: I mean that's just the reality. You'd like to have
26:15
Speaker 1: the first pick overall in the draft and have things
26:17
Speaker 1: just magically change with fairy dust, but it just it
26:20
Speaker 1: doesn't work that way. It doesn't. And I'll tell you
26:26
Speaker 1: share a story with you. Oh, I can't like story
26:28
Speaker 1: time with logs. I like that. When when I was
26:31
Speaker 1: a young player and I first came into the league
26:33
Speaker 1: and uh, and I remember one of the first matchups
26:36
Speaker 1: ever playing against the Indianapolis Colts and I go against
26:40
Speaker 1: the guy by the name of Chris Hinton, and Chris
26:44
Speaker 1: Hinton kicked my butt, I mean kick my butt. And
26:49
Speaker 1: I just remember thinking to myself that if if it's
26:51
Speaker 1: gonna be this way every week. I don't belong, but
26:55
Speaker 1: you know you you know that you have confidence, and
26:57
Speaker 1: you know that you have to get to work, and
26:59
Speaker 1: there were things that you had to understand and learn
27:02
Speaker 1: and continue to work on physically and mentally. I'm going
27:07
Speaker 1: against a guy like Eric Dickerson my rookie years, and
27:09
Speaker 1: he ran right through me like I wouldn't even like
27:11
Speaker 1: I didn't even exist. I mean, these are all things
27:14
Speaker 1: that that you you experience and then you you file
27:19
Speaker 1: him away, and you file away the the the learning
27:23
Speaker 1: moment from it or the teaching experience from it so
27:26
Speaker 1: that you're better than next time. And all of these
27:28
Speaker 1: things are what Trevor Lawrence is going through right now.
27:31
Speaker 1: And I can tell you this what what a quarterback
27:33
Speaker 1: goes through and has to deal with compare to what
27:36
Speaker 1: a yeah, a defensive end went through. It's not even comparable.
27:42
Speaker 1: There's a play that I'm on a diagram for unwhere
27:46
Speaker 1: which platform is this? Jaguars all Access? You have many
27:49
Speaker 1: your multi facis. Well, it was the first interception that
27:52
Speaker 1: he throws. And when you sit back and you or
27:56
Speaker 1: you you know, and I draw it up, I'll draw
27:59
Speaker 1: it up in the football app. Okay, and then when
28:01
Speaker 1: you draw it up and you just sit back and
28:03
Speaker 1: you take a look at it and it's entire do
28:04
Speaker 1: you go, holy cow? How? How how do you decipher
28:11
Speaker 1: where to go? And you're looking at an offensive play?
28:16
Speaker 1: But then you also have to factor in the defensive formation,
28:19
Speaker 1: the defensive coverage, and then, oh, by the way, before
28:23
Speaker 1: all that, you've got to make the play call in
28:24
Speaker 1: the huddle. You have to remember the snap count, you
28:28
Speaker 1: have to make any adjustments that you may have to make,
28:31
Speaker 1: and then you have to be aware of the rush
28:32
Speaker 1: and everything else when you before you throw this ball.
28:34
Speaker 1: I mean, all of these things are extremely difficult. So
28:37
Speaker 1: the amount of information that a quarterback has to process
28:42
Speaker 1: before the physical things have to be required is immense.
28:47
Speaker 1: And that's why it takes so much for quarterbacks to
28:51
Speaker 1: adapt to the game in the NFL. Some never adapt.
28:55
Speaker 1: And I'm confident that the Trevor Lawrence will that that
28:58
Speaker 1: that does. That thought has never even entered my mind
29:00
Speaker 1: that he won't adapt or get better. I think it's
29:03
Speaker 1: gonna happen. He's got the right mindset. It's just gonna
29:06
Speaker 1: take time. And unfortunately, during that time, there will be
29:10
Speaker 1: some moments where you go, oh, boy that works with
29:14
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback in the NFL. We're back in a moment.
29:17
Speaker 1: Will get into the Jaguars defense and their challenge ahead

30:07
Speaker 1: task out of them this week. Kyler Murray is coming
30:10
Speaker 1: to town and he is put together a fantastic start
30:14
Speaker 1: for the Arizona offense. Of course, the former first overall
30:19
Speaker 1: pick in the NFL, the ninth overall pick in the
30:21
Speaker 1: baseball drafts a few years ago, that's long gone now,
30:23
Speaker 1: at least at least for now. But last week, four
30:27

30:30

30:32
Speaker 1: first two games of the season. He has seven touchdown
30:35
Speaker 1: passes total for the year. And he's a problem because
30:40
Speaker 1: he doesn't just stand back there and pat the football.
30:42
Speaker 1: He runs around. He can outrun people and then throw
30:45
Speaker 1: it forty yards fifty yards down the field. He is Uh.
30:49
Speaker 1: I think he's very popular too, as far as the
30:53
Speaker 1: popularity of him because of fantasy football. If you have
30:57
Speaker 1: had Kyler Murray at any point so far this year,
31:00
Speaker 1: you've been pretty happy because he does a lot of
31:03
Speaker 1: crazy things. And uh, look at the numbers. I mean,
31:08
Speaker 1: thirty six temp four in the yards passing against the Vikings.
31:11
Speaker 1: And the crazy thing is is that he throws a
31:13
Speaker 1: lot of picks. But he still wins even when he
31:16
Speaker 1: throws picks, because that's how dangerous he can be at times.
31:19
Speaker 1: And you know, they listened at five ten and he
31:23
Speaker 1: might not he might not be that, he might be
31:25
Speaker 1: five nine. And it's amazing to me that a quarterback
31:29
Speaker 1: that has less vision, okay, that he can still accomplish
31:35
Speaker 1: some of the things that he does. And I think
31:37
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why he has such great success
31:39
Speaker 1: out of the pocket. He's incredibly athletic, he's got great mobility,
31:45
Speaker 1: and also he can now see the feel a little
31:47
Speaker 1: bit better and uh and it will be a problem
31:51
Speaker 1: for a Jaguars defense this week. I think that's gonna
31:53
Speaker 1: be a big time issue for them, and they're gonna
31:56
Speaker 1: have to be you know, they're gonna have to be
31:59
Speaker 1: really good this week if he's like scrambling around and
32:02
Speaker 1: that just gives the receivers more time to to get
32:05
Speaker 1: open down the field or you know plays, you know,
32:08
Speaker 1: scrambled ball rules, and then all of a sudden, if
32:10
Speaker 1: you're defensive back, you have to chase that guy around
32:12
Speaker 1: and cover him for an extra four or five seconds. Well,
32:15
Speaker 1: we saw it happening in the first two games, and
32:17
Speaker 1: it was it was kind of two different quarterbacks that
32:20
Speaker 1: did it two different ways. Tyrod Taylor escaped out of
32:23
Speaker 1: the pocket and then ran it a couple of times,
32:26
Speaker 1: and then escaped out of the pocket and then threw
32:28
Speaker 1: it deep, you know. So and then all of a
32:30
Speaker 1: sudden you have Teddy Bridgewater who just scrambles around a
32:34
Speaker 1: buy extra time to find a guy down the field.
32:36
Speaker 1: So you know, there there's it's it's the same thing,
32:40
Speaker 1: but it's different. And this week is a whole another whole,
32:44
Speaker 1: another level now from Teddy Bridgewater and certainly a whole
32:48
Speaker 1: another level I think from Tyrod Taylor, because this young man,
32:52
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray will get out of the pocket like that
32:55
Speaker 1: in a minute. He don't care. I mean, he's his
32:58
Speaker 1: eyes don't stay down on the field in the pocket
33:01
Speaker 1: a lot of times. And then he's got the weapons
33:04
Speaker 1: outside before we even get to the outside. I mean,
33:08
Speaker 1: he's got two really good backs. Okay, remember James Conner,
33:13
Speaker 1: by the way, you used to be the starting running
33:14
Speaker 1: back for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's a backup in Arizona. O. Yeah,
33:20
Speaker 1: he was. The Chase Edmonds is the starter. And so
33:23
Speaker 1: you've got two really good backs the tight end group
33:27
Speaker 1: for them, but the wide receiver group is good. A J. Green,
33:32
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins, this young man that you just completely throw
33:37
Speaker 1: in the face of Urban Meyer. And then let's not
33:40
Speaker 1: forget about Kirk Christian Kirk. Yeah, they've got they've got
33:44
Speaker 1: so many different different options out there. That's what it is.
33:49
Speaker 1: It's this is gonna be. This is a this is
33:50
Speaker 1: a tough task this week, and the Arizona Cardinals are
33:54
Speaker 1: scoring a lot of points. They have an elite pass rusher,
34:00
Speaker 1: they have a Buddha baker. The safety is a really
34:02
Speaker 1: good football player. You know they've got They've got some
34:05
Speaker 1: really good football players in Arizona. The one thing I
34:09
Speaker 1: think that it will give you a chance to win
34:13
Speaker 1: is that you have to break the defensive streak of
34:19
Speaker 1: not getting a takeaway yet. And I said it last
34:22
Speaker 1: week that if they were gonna win last week, And
34:24
Speaker 1: this was that an article that Johnny Johnny osher you
34:28
Speaker 1: right in it. I write in a bunch of people
34:31
Speaker 1: write in about what our thoughts are on the game
34:33
Speaker 1: for that weekend and what we think is gonna happen.
34:37
Speaker 1: And I said that the Jaguars needed to get two
34:39
Speaker 1: takeaways this past week against the Broncos to be able
34:42
Speaker 1: to get success. And I'm sticking to two this week too.
34:46
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's the number too. You got to
34:51
Speaker 1: take aways in the well, in the race, you always
34:56
Speaker 1: have to factor in the plus minus because if you
34:59
Speaker 1: if you give the ball only five times ain't enough.
35:02
Speaker 1: You need three more, So plus two I need. I
35:05
Speaker 1: think you need to be plus two this week. We'll
35:08
Speaker 1: come back in a moment and get into the special
35:11
Speaker 1: teams units for this Jaguars team. We heard Urban Meyer
35:15
Speaker 1: earlier discuss Josh Lambeau still believes in him kick return
35:19
Speaker 1: team has done very well. All that coming up. This
35:22
Speaker 1: is the Urban Meyers Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
35:27
Speaker 1: Welcome Back. The Urban Meyer Show continues along the Jaguars
35:31
Speaker 1: Radio Network. Welcome back j P. Shadrick, Jeff Logerman. The
35:35
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer Show continues. Head Coachurban Meyer joining us in
35:39
Speaker 1: the first half hour each week every Tuesday here on
35:41
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Radio Network. Glad you're along with us today.
35:44
Speaker 1: The Jaguars in the Arizona Cardinals coming up in Week
35:47
Speaker 1: three at t i A. Bank Field. Well, the kicking
35:51
Speaker 1: game has not been very good this year, in fact,
35:54
Speaker 1: over over three in the field the field goal game
35:57
Speaker 1: field goal. Don't don't lant the punting into that countergory worry,
36:00
Speaker 1: because the punt that's punting, kicking is kicking. Well, some
36:03
Speaker 1: people say kicking games kicking, and it's not. When you
36:09
Speaker 1: say the kicking game, that's considered punting and kicking, well,
36:13
Speaker 1: the punter is if you want to talk specifically about kicking,
36:16
Speaker 1: let's just say kicking. Okay, let's say kicking the kicking game,
36:19
Speaker 1: who's on third what for three and field goals, Let's
36:26
Speaker 1: put it that way. For Josh Lambeau, he was over
36:28
Speaker 1: to last week and that was obviously a big piece
36:30
Speaker 1: of the game is that is it went along into
36:32
Speaker 1: the second half, those field goals would have been massive
36:35
Speaker 1: for the way the game was played and managed and
36:37
Speaker 1: all that's how it goes. We heard her remind earlier
36:40
Speaker 1: saying that, you know, we've kind of backed away from
36:43
Speaker 1: the intense practice pressure of kind of being over the
36:46
Speaker 1: operation of the snap and hold and field goal, and
36:50
Speaker 1: you know he still believes in the kicker, at least
36:53
Speaker 1: for now. Well, we saw throughout training camp what you
36:57
Speaker 1: were referring to, and that urban is stay ending right
37:00
Speaker 1: by Logan Cook while he's holding for a field goal.
37:05
Speaker 1: And a lot of coaches will do that because they
37:08
Speaker 1: want to essentially create pressure on the kicker. Some coaches,
37:15
Speaker 1: and we've done this in the past when when I
37:18
Speaker 1: was in New York, they would have guys standing around
37:23
Speaker 1: with like cloth balls, okay, and then when the kicker
37:27
Speaker 1: would get ready to kick, we would throw it at
37:29
Speaker 1: the kicker. So his level absolutely so, his level of
37:33
Speaker 1: concentration or balled up towels. His level of concentration would
37:37
Speaker 1: have to be on the ball itself. Now, we wouldn't
37:40
Speaker 1: hit him in the face or anything like that. We
37:42
Speaker 1: would take it and throw it past him, just trying
37:45
Speaker 1: to distract. I know you better than this, seriously, you
37:50
Speaker 1: would take like phoone balls or rolled up towels and
37:54
Speaker 1: throw them to where it would kind of distract his
37:57
Speaker 1: his visual picture to see what his level of concentration. Well,
38:00
Speaker 1: I mean there's different ways to create pressure and to
38:04
Speaker 1: maybe instill more concentration and the kicker. But I guess
38:08
Speaker 1: Josh didn't like irban Meyer stand right there and and
38:11
Speaker 1: so anyway, he's missed three kicks. They haven't been easy
38:15
Speaker 1: kicks either. Now it's not like he's missing twenty seven
38:19
Speaker 1: yard chip shot, a thirty five yard or and then
38:22
Speaker 1: a forty seven yards seven, fifty two and fifty five.
38:26
Speaker 1: But Josh has typically been fantastic in the past from
38:30
Speaker 1: fifty plus. In fact, going to that game, he was
38:33
Speaker 1: ten of twelve from beyond fifty. Now, if you go
38:37
Speaker 1: and you look at beyond fifty prior to the previous game,
38:41
Speaker 1: he was ten of eleven. I mean, he's been outstanding
38:44
Speaker 1: he's been outstanding at at home here one and that's
38:49
Speaker 1: the first two misses he's ever had. I mean, that's
38:52
Speaker 1: that's unbelievable. So the challenge for Josh, and he's been
38:58
Speaker 1: around the block. This is not a young kicker that
39:00
Speaker 1: you're sitting there going, oh my gosh, bring somebody in.
39:04
Speaker 1: We've got to get somebody else. Now, you're gonna give
39:07
Speaker 1: him a little benefit of the doubt, and you're going
39:08
Speaker 1: to give him an opportunity to get it right. The
39:11
Speaker 1: good thing is that the operation itself, the snapper and
39:15
Speaker 1: the holder are really good, really good. Joe Fortunato, the
39:19
Speaker 1: manager of Radio chiming in now, Hello, Joe, good morning.
39:23
Speaker 1: This may be more for for loggy, But tell me
39:26
Speaker 1: how you feel about this to JP, Okay, we all
39:29
Speaker 1: haven't really gotten a chance to be close with Urban Meyer. Okay,
39:34
Speaker 1: but as a kicker, how do you go up to
39:37
Speaker 1: him and say, I don't want you standing next to me.
39:41
Speaker 1: You go up to him and tell him that if
39:42
Speaker 1: you don't want it, yeah, I mean, if if that's
39:47
Speaker 1: what you're not liking, I mean, that's to be honest.
39:50
Speaker 1: I mean, we're all grown in. Yeah, you know, you
39:52
Speaker 1: go up and say it's that gonna lose a scholarship. Hey, look, coach,
39:54
Speaker 1: I appreciate you know, maybe what you're trying to get
39:56
Speaker 1: a look, I mean, if you if you're a kicker
39:58
Speaker 1: and you don't like that, and you feel like that
40:00
Speaker 1: that affects your preparation. Look, I'm not some rookie kicker.
40:05
Speaker 1: That's you know, this is my first rodeo. I've been
40:07
Speaker 1: around the block. I have made kicks at this stadium
40:12
Speaker 1: right here, and I would prefer you not stand next
40:14
Speaker 1: to me during practice. Now, if if that's what he
40:16
Speaker 1: wanted to say, I mean he should say that. The
40:20
Speaker 1: other part, I don't know if that has anything to
40:22
Speaker 1: do with the mrs. Oh yeah, who knows. I mean,
40:24
Speaker 1: I just found it curious, you know. It was just
40:25
Speaker 1: I was curious, generally curious what what the what a
40:29
Speaker 1: head coach would gain or a kicker would you know
40:31
Speaker 1: all that. That's why we asked him that earlier tonight.
40:34
Speaker 1: The other part of special teams that was very nice,
40:37
Speaker 1: of course, on Sunday was the kickoff return game one
40:40
Speaker 1: two yard touchdown for Jabola Agnew and you know Urban
40:44
Speaker 1: earlier and said, hey, you know we're not gonna play
40:46
Speaker 1: him in the preseason. He's too valuable. Really, it's a
40:49
Speaker 1: kick return. We kept we kept wanting to see it.
40:52
Speaker 1: How many kickoffs do you really return in the NFL? Well,
40:56
Speaker 1: in Week two he takes one to the house and
40:58
Speaker 1: and nearly made it a one score game if they
41:00
Speaker 1: hit the two point conversion. Yeah, it was. And he
41:03
Speaker 1: got some really nice blocks. Um, Look, there was about
41:07
Speaker 1: three blocks on that kick return that we're outstanding love
41:10
Speaker 1: the one at the end where Russell is running down
41:13
Speaker 1: and and Chappelle Russell the linebacker, backup linebacker is kind
41:17
Speaker 1: of leading away and he gets the last block that
41:19
Speaker 1: springs him into the end zone. But Claybrooks got a
41:22
Speaker 1: real good block, some other guy's got some good blocks,
41:25
Speaker 1: and he made one really nice cut and then his
41:27
Speaker 1: speed took over and we were we were actually talking
41:29
Speaker 1: about it in broadcast. When are we gonna see the
41:32
Speaker 1: impact of this kick return? And then bamn, here it is,
41:35
Speaker 1: you know, so it was great to see. Does that
41:37
Speaker 1: change other team's approaches now everybody just trying to out
41:40
Speaker 1: of the end zone? No, I don't think so. I
41:42
Speaker 1: think I think most teams are gonna still stick with
41:44
Speaker 1: what they do. Most teams try to kick it out
41:46
Speaker 1: of the end zone, and I think that the Broncos
41:48
Speaker 1: tried to do that. They just missed one. McManus, their
41:51
Speaker 1: kicker had you know, it's basically a like a two
41:53
Speaker 1: and a half step before he kicks off and crushes
41:56
Speaker 1: the ball into the end zone. He just missed one
41:58
Speaker 1: and he paid for it. We'll come back in a moment.
42:01
Speaker 1: Our wrap up this program, our final thoughts ahead of
42:03

Speaker 1: along the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome Back. Final moments of
42:28
Speaker 1: the Urban Meyers Show on this Tuesday afternoon J P.
42:32
Speaker 1: Shadrick with Jeff Lagman. The Jaguars in the Arizona Cardinals
42:36
Speaker 1: coming up Sunday, one o'clock kickoff time at t I A.
42:38
Speaker 1: Bank Field. It's Week three in the National Football League.
42:41
Speaker 1: The Jags are oh and two. The Cardinals are not.
42:44
Speaker 1: They are two and oh and it's going to be
42:47
Speaker 1: a challenge for this Jaguars team to try to snap one.
42:49
Speaker 1: Is now balogues a seventeen game losing skid for the franchise,
42:54
Speaker 1: oh for two for this season. Yeah, it's it's it's uh,
42:57
Speaker 1: it's been a long time since this team is one.
43:00
Speaker 1: And uh, I know a lot of people are trying
43:02
Speaker 1: to do the right things to try to make it right,
43:04
Speaker 1: and you just gotta keep working. And that's the only
43:07
Speaker 1: thing you can do because there is no shortcuts to
43:10
Speaker 1: success in the National Football League. That's the thing about
43:14
Speaker 1: the NFL. It's incredibly challenging weekend and week out, and
43:18
Speaker 1: there's not a great differential and talent, but there is
43:22
Speaker 1: enough to make a difference. I can tell you that. Yeah,
43:25
Speaker 1: I just gotta keep on this. This football team is
43:29
Speaker 1: is it needs to. I mean, it's got work to
43:32
Speaker 1: do yet. I mean, I mean in the future and everything,
43:35
Speaker 1: but I mean, but for this year, you know, your
43:38
Speaker 1: goal should be to continue to get better, to have
43:40
Speaker 1: a young quarterback, to start to have success, to get
43:44
Speaker 1: better weekend and week out. But I mean, you're still
43:47
Speaker 1: you're still gonna need the additional talent on this football
43:53
Speaker 1: team to take it where it needs to go. But
43:56
Speaker 1: right now, it's a painful stage because you still don't
43:59
Speaker 1: have some of that Allen in my opinion, and then
44:01
Speaker 1: you still and you have a young quarterback that's gonna
44:05
Speaker 1: be going through the growing pains of being a quarterback
44:09
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You can't avoid that no quickly. This week,
44:12
Speaker 1: we'll have a huddle up with Bucky Brooks Wednesday afternoon
44:15
Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot Com, Jacks Drive Time in the morning,
44:17
Speaker 1: ten o'clock on Jack's Drive Time Jaguars All Access TV.
44:20
Speaker 1: Thursday night at seven o'clock right correct, and then don't
44:23
Speaker 1: forget about tomorrow night Jack's Wired. Oh wow. We will
44:26
Speaker 1: break down in the football Lab the touchdown throw in
44:29
Speaker 1: the first drive by Trevor Will looking forward to that.
