0:01
Speaker 1: Own this thing. It's ours. Come on, let's go Walt
0:04
Speaker 1: County and nin oh four. Let's own this stadium. Make
0:07
Speaker 1: it ours. Welcome to the Urban Meyer Show Show. Former
0:13
Speaker 1: Jaguar Jeff Logerman and J. P. Shadrick discussed the latest
0:17
Speaker 1: Jaguars news with the head coach. The Urban Meyers Show
0:22
Speaker 1: starts right now. Welcome in it is. It is the
0:25
Speaker 1: Urban Meyers Show. JP Shadrick, Jeff Logaman. Urban Meyer not
0:29
Speaker 1: with us tonight. Here's why. With the Thanksgiving holiday coming up,
0:33
Speaker 1: we had some scheduled changes. Coach Meyer and the staff
0:36
Speaker 1: made some changes there. They're practicing today. So we take
0:39
Speaker 1: our conversation with Urban yesterday to run today. Unfortunately, we
0:45
Speaker 1: had technical issues and lost the recording. Yes, it's true,
0:49
Speaker 1: so we'll hear from Urban a good bit in this
0:51
Speaker 1: first half hour from his Monday press conference about everything
0:54
Speaker 1: from the San Francisco game. Our apologies for that, but hey,
0:58
Speaker 1: let's look back at the San Francisco game. A bad start.
1:01
Speaker 1: They had a deep hole they couldn't climb out of it.
1:03
Speaker 1: A twenty play, eight seven yard thirteen minute plus drive
1:06
Speaker 1: for San fran opened the game three and out. After
1:09
Speaker 1: offensive issues, no rhythm on that side of the ball
1:12
Speaker 1: and head coach Urban Meyer, of course Monday on the struggle,
1:15
Speaker 1: not only Sunday, but the last month plus the defense
1:19
Speaker 1: stepping up for the most part, it's been more than that.
1:23
Speaker 1: Has been four weeks actually, ever since the I thought
1:26
Speaker 1: Miami there was a lot of promised, a lot of
1:28
Speaker 1: good things being done. Before that, I saw a steady improvement,
1:32
Speaker 1: and you're correct, you know, I think when when uh
1:36
Speaker 1: James got you know, if you remember Alad, he had
1:38
Speaker 1: two big runs in the Seattle game and he comes out.
1:40
Speaker 1: So I don't want to put it all on him
1:42
Speaker 1: because he's obviously very valuable member. But whenever someone goes down,
1:46
Speaker 1: someone else has to pick up that flag and go harder.
1:49
Speaker 1: And we're not getting that right now. And so um yeah,
1:54
Speaker 1: I think whenever things aren't, you know, on defense, I
1:57
Speaker 1: commend our staff. I met with our staff many times times,
2:00
Speaker 1: and we adjusted, adapted to our personnel, and we're playing better.
2:03
Speaker 1: You know, even yesterday. You know, there's three sacks on
2:06
Speaker 1: that first drive, I believe, and two of them were
2:09
Speaker 1: negated because of penalty offside and a hold. Um. I
2:14
Speaker 1: liked the way our defense. You know, when you say
2:16
Speaker 1: you give up that many points. You know, there's to
2:18
Speaker 1: me that was when you have a twenty play drive,
2:20
Speaker 1: you hold them to three points and had three sacks
2:23
Speaker 1: in that drive and the extended by penalties, I consider
2:25
Speaker 1: that a win. But then we thirty seconds later the
2:28
Speaker 1: defense is back on the field, and then thirty seconds
2:31
Speaker 1: again later, they're back because of a fumble. So everybody's
2:34
Speaker 1: got to hold up the end of the bargain. That's
2:37
Speaker 1: head coach Urban Meyer yesterday and his Monday press conference
2:41
Speaker 1: Jeff Loguman joining us. Now, good afternoon to you lot,
2:43
Speaker 1: Good afternoon. Yeah, unfortunately we don't get Urban in person today,
2:48
Speaker 1: but it was my fault. I pushed the wrong Well,
2:51
Speaker 1: but it's unfortunate, but we're gonna make the best of
2:54
Speaker 1: it today. And hear back a little bit from what
2:56
Speaker 1: Urban had to say on Monday his press conference today.
2:59
Speaker 1: By the it was so late in the day we
3:01
Speaker 1: couldn't even really turn that one around to get it
3:03
Speaker 1: ready for the show. Well, I mean, look, we did
3:05
Speaker 1: talk to Urban yesterday and uh, and here's the kind
3:09
Speaker 1: of just general impression we we had. I thought we
3:11
Speaker 1: recorded three great segments with Thanksgiving week obviously having a
3:15
Speaker 1: little bit of a challenge from a scheduled standpoint, and
3:20
Speaker 1: when he left that press conference, he's a little hot.
3:25
Speaker 1: There was a lot of negative things to discuss. He's
3:28
Speaker 1: a little hot, okay, and and rightly so. I mean, look,
3:32
Speaker 1: I mean he's the head coach and football team that's
3:34
Speaker 1: not playing well right now. And then he got to us,
3:37
Speaker 1: and you know, it took took a little bit of
3:40
Speaker 1: a deep breath, and you know, he calmed down, and
3:43
Speaker 1: I thought he was very insightful. I mean that's usually
3:45
Speaker 1: what people say about us. Loves were calming and soothing.
3:48
Speaker 1: We are not really no, maybe not no. I mean, like,
3:53
Speaker 1: you know, I give him credit because look at this.
3:56
Speaker 1: When you when you commit so much to something and
4:00
Speaker 1: it's not working, it's frustrating and and and when you
4:04
Speaker 1: get you know, the repeated questions and sometimes you feel
4:07
Speaker 1: like I've I've answered this before, and that's you know,
4:09
Speaker 1: isn't it obvious? You really need to ask the questions.
4:12
Speaker 1: And sometimes it probably gets a little bit annoying. But
4:14
Speaker 1: I mean that's just like Pete Carroll. This week. Pete
4:16
Speaker 1: Carroll actually walked away from a microphone and had to
4:21
Speaker 1: spend thirty minutes away and then he comes back to
4:23
Speaker 1: talk to the meeting. Urban hasn't done anything like that.
4:25
Speaker 1: I mean, he's stands there and takes it. He he
4:27
Speaker 1: stood up in front of the questions and and and
4:29
Speaker 1: he stood up in front of you know, the television
4:33
Speaker 1: camera and the microphone to do a show with us yesterday.
4:36
Speaker 1: And unfortunately I pushed the wrong button and deleted the recording.
4:39
Speaker 1: So I apologize for that, and sometimes it happens, but
4:45
Speaker 1: I thought he was very forthcoming, and that the one
4:49
Speaker 1: thing that he said to us, he said, look, everything
4:54
Speaker 1: is under evaluation, everything and when and and that's the
4:59
Speaker 1: right answer, you know. So I look, I don't know
5:03
Speaker 1: what's gonna change this week. I don't because he didn't
5:06
Speaker 1: give us that or those specifics. But I can tell
5:10
Speaker 1: you from the tone and from his comment that everything
5:16
Speaker 1: is being looked at. There's gonna be something different this week.
5:20
Speaker 1: I don't know what. And maybe I'm wrong, but did
5:24
Speaker 1: you get that impression when he used the term full audit?
5:28
Speaker 1: That was the terms guess what, there's a full audit
5:31
Speaker 1: going on? Whatever that whatever you want that definition to
5:34
Speaker 1: be there taking a look at everything. It's week twelve,
5:37
Speaker 1: And that's the unfortunate part of this thing that it
5:39
Speaker 1: has to happen this deep into a season, and that's
5:42
Speaker 1: what the frustration comes from. Oh, I looked, the New
5:45
Speaker 1: York Giants just underwent some change today. Reports are that
5:50
Speaker 1: they have fired their offensive coordinator, Jason Garrett. I'm not
5:53
Speaker 1: saying that something like that's gonna happen, but I'm saying
5:55
Speaker 1: is that, look, when you're not playing well, they're there's
6:00
Speaker 1: change coming. That's just that's how it works in this league.
6:04
Speaker 1: And uh, and they want to look nobody wants to
6:08
Speaker 1: get it fixed better than the head coach or Daryl
6:11
Speaker 1: Bevel offensive coordinator. And they look that they're working their
6:13
Speaker 1: tails off. They work hard. People work hard to try
6:17
Speaker 1: to make this football team in this offense better and
6:20
Speaker 1: to get it to take steps and and for whatever reason,
6:24
Speaker 1: sometimes that doesn't happen, and it gets to be frustrating.
6:27
Speaker 1: And and the one thing I think that you've got
6:29
Speaker 1: to make sure that that you do as a coach
6:32
Speaker 1: is that you just can't let the frustration lead to
6:35
Speaker 1: anything that is irrational. You have to be logical and methodical,
6:39
Speaker 1: and some of your decision making process and your evaluation,
6:43
Speaker 1: you got to take the emotion out of it. There's
6:45
Speaker 1: obviously so much pressure a week to week in this league.
6:51
Speaker 1: That was in the brochure. That's why they get paid
6:54
Speaker 1: the big bucks, no doubt in coaching. I mean those
6:57
Speaker 1: guys that and when they sign up for for coaching,
7:03
Speaker 1: they understand that with it comes criticism, and with it
7:07
Speaker 1: comes with the possibility that you may be looking for
7:09
Speaker 1: a job next year, and that the entire staff may
7:13
Speaker 1: end up not being here next year. I mean, that's
7:14
Speaker 1: how it works in the National Football League. I mean,
7:16
Speaker 1: that's and that's the pressure cooker that it can be coming.
7:19
Speaker 1: I think a lot of times with with coaches, you
7:21
Speaker 1: know all that, and and they're great at it that
7:24
Speaker 1: they block all that noise out, the noise that we
7:27
Speaker 1: sometimes we make noise, and fans make noise, and talk
7:31
Speaker 1: radio makes noise. They have they do a great job.
7:33
Speaker 1: They just they're they're they've got blinders on and they
7:37
Speaker 1: go to work. I mean that's what they do. Some
7:39
Speaker 1: they go to work, some do some will listen to
7:43
Speaker 1: some of that. Oh, there's no doubt, that's what Some
7:46
Speaker 1: have rabbit ears. And if you got rabbit ears, you
7:50
Speaker 1: don't have much of a chance. But there are never stops.
7:54
Speaker 1: You're you're very right or that Hey, we'll come back
7:56
Speaker 1: plenty ahead. We'll hear from Urban again yesterday on possible
8:01
Speaker 1: maybe lineup changes. They're talking about some of that stuff.
8:05
Speaker 1: It's part of the full audit. We'll hear from him
8:07
Speaker 1: on Jamal Agnew's injury, why they couldn't get a target
8:10
Speaker 1: for Dan Arnold last week. That's all ahead, and we're
8:13
Speaker 1: off and running us the Urban Meyers Show on the
8:15
Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back Jaguars Game Day broadcast. Our position,
8:20
Speaker 1: John and uh, that's one that I posed our staff constantly,
8:24
Speaker 1: also to the players. UM. And there's no simple solution.
8:29
Speaker 1: You know, if you competition is the greatest motivator of
8:32
Speaker 1: all and if we feel like you know, there is
8:35
Speaker 1: that available, then you know that's a great motivator. UM.
8:40
Speaker 1: And I don't want to get too specific because it's
8:42
Speaker 1: you know, I don't art, it's not my position and
8:44
Speaker 1: throw anybody under the bus. But too, you have to
8:46
Speaker 1: play better. If not, you have to make a change.
8:49
Speaker 1: My apologies, Irvan. That's of course, head coach Urban Meyer.
8:52
Speaker 1: This is the Urban Meyers Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
8:55
Speaker 1: JP Shadrick, Jeff Lagman. As we mentioned, earlier. Well, the
8:59
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving holiday coming up, there was some scheduled changes in
9:02
Speaker 1: the building this week. We taped our conversation with Urban
9:05
Speaker 1: yesterday to run today, but lost the recording technical issues
9:10
Speaker 1: here in the building, So our apologies for not having
9:12
Speaker 1: Urban with us today. But we'll hear plenty from his
9:16
Speaker 1: Monday press conference about everything from the San Francisco game.
9:19
Speaker 1: He did speak again this afternoon. It was so late
9:21
Speaker 1: in the day we couldn't turn it around for this
9:23
Speaker 1: show today. You can check it out on Jaguars dot
9:25
Speaker 1: com or Jacks social media to see the latest on
9:28
Speaker 1: what he had to say. But plenty of things to discuss.
9:32
Speaker 1: Of course, let's continue on the offensive side. And you know,
9:36
Speaker 1: before you do that, what he just we just saw
9:41
Speaker 1: the comment that he made. I mean, that's that's what
9:45
Speaker 1: you want. I mean, that's look, that's players understand that.
9:48
Speaker 1: That's how it is in the National Football League, and
9:50
Speaker 1: that competition when he says competition is always the great motivator,
9:55
Speaker 1: which it is, and that's how you get better players,
9:59
Speaker 1: is that you you get better players and then all
10:01
Speaker 1: of a sudden you create competition. Then it drives everybody
10:04
Speaker 1: to new heights. I mean that's the perfect world that
10:07
Speaker 1: you'd want to live in. You know, when you draft
10:09
Speaker 1: a left tackle and the second round, well, it probably
10:13
Speaker 1: makes your starter play a little bit better. And I
10:15
Speaker 1: think that's happened a little bit with Cam Robinson. There's
10:17
Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that. Competition always makes everybody better. And
10:21
Speaker 1: then what he said there at the end is that, look,
10:23
Speaker 1: if you need to make change, then we'll make change.
10:26
Speaker 1: But that's how it works, and that you can't continue
10:31
Speaker 1: to do the things that you do and expect some
10:32
Speaker 1: better results. And a lot of people may ask, well,
10:36
Speaker 1: does that include the quarterback? I think it would include
10:38
Speaker 1: the quarterback if they felt that it was best for
10:41
Speaker 1: his development or best for this offense, would they create competition? Sure,
10:46
Speaker 1: But here's the reality. Trevor Lawrence is the better option.
10:49
Speaker 1: We saw the quarterbacks battle it out in training camp.
10:53
Speaker 1: C J. Beethner didn't look great. The one small window
10:56
Speaker 1: that we saw where Trevor got hurt, you look pretty good,
11:00
Speaker 1: but you can't evalue it did and sit there and
11:02
Speaker 1: go and that little small little snippet, go, oh, well
11:04
Speaker 1: he played better when he was in there. Let's put
11:06
Speaker 1: him in there. Is that a Trevor No? No? The
11:09
Speaker 1: the evaluation encompasses a lot more than just that small
11:13
Speaker 1: little window that we got a chance to see in
11:15
Speaker 1: the regular season. Let's hear a little more from urban Meyer.
11:19
Speaker 1: The Jaguars have lost Jamal Agnew. He is now an
11:23
Speaker 1: injured reserve with a hip issue, and Urban Meyer Monday
11:26
Speaker 1: on agnew status positive news. We're expecting full recovery. It
11:31
Speaker 1: is a hip injury. I will know more as time
11:34
Speaker 1: wears on a little bit. But obviously we all love
11:37
Speaker 1: that guy, I personally, you know, I just I mean,
11:40
Speaker 1: he's everything you want as a competitor as a person,
11:43
Speaker 1: has got legit speed. So that's a that's a tough blow,
11:47
Speaker 1: but you know, we just gotta keep going and figure
11:49
Speaker 1: it out. The other players that were deemed up had
11:51
Speaker 1: some positive you know results at least as well, which
11:56
Speaker 1: is good news. Moving ahead. Uh well, the Jaguars offense
11:59
Speaker 1: did target Dan Arnold in the game. The tight end
12:02
Speaker 1: was the leading target, leading receiver, leading receiving yardage player
12:06
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars offense since his arrival in Jacksonville, and
12:10
Speaker 1: Meyer discussing why they couldn't get the ball to him.
12:14
Speaker 1: You know, it's hard to say, throw it to him.
12:15
Speaker 1: We ran a couple of option routes to him, and
12:18
Speaker 1: they bracketed him. Um, and that's the ball went somewhere else.
12:21
Speaker 1: So it's hard to you know. That's why I always
12:24
Speaker 1: like to hand the ball to your best players at times,
12:25
Speaker 1: because you you know, when you hand the ball Lavisca,
12:28
Speaker 1: you can't take that away. You're gonna hand the ball
12:30
Speaker 1: to him. They can take them away in the throw game.
12:32
Speaker 1: And that's what they did a little bit. I give
12:33
Speaker 1: them credit. They bracketed him a few times and and
12:36
Speaker 1: they realized the same thing. He's one of our best
12:38
Speaker 1: targets and we weren't able to defeat that. So no, no,
12:41
Speaker 1: we're aware of it. And the conversation is more about
12:43
Speaker 1: this coming week. So that's the Dan Arnold conversation. We'll
12:47
Speaker 1: get to all this coming up that kind of Obviously,
12:49
Speaker 1: the offense struggled in the last a little bit of time,
12:53
Speaker 1: but Dan Arnold was really one of the bright lights
12:55
Speaker 1: on the offensive side for the Jags, if you know,
12:58
Speaker 1: relative to what was going on. James Robinson has been
13:01
Speaker 1: a bright spot for the Jaguars offense throughout his run
13:05
Speaker 1: so far in Jacksonville, of course, but he hasn't the
13:08
Speaker 1: last few weeks at least been urban Meyer yesterday on
13:13
Speaker 1: James Robinson status. You know, I'm gonna talk to him
13:17
Speaker 1: this week. I we all love the guy, and he's
13:20
Speaker 1: tough as nails and he doesn't say much, you know,
13:22
Speaker 1: and so I just don't feel the same open field
13:25
Speaker 1: running that he showed her, you know, when he was healthy.
13:28
Speaker 1: So we're gonna and we just want to do right
13:30
Speaker 1: by him and do right by us. So that's you know,
13:32
Speaker 1: but he uh, you know, there's no one tougher than
13:35
Speaker 1: that guy. So we'll see. There's a lot to unpack
13:37
Speaker 1: there with the running back and the tight end not
13:40
Speaker 1: being able to get open and Jamal Agnew is not available,
13:44
Speaker 1: that's a lot of offensive issues right now. Yeah, and uh,
13:48
Speaker 1: you know, as the season progresses, typically you find more
13:51
Speaker 1: answers to the questions that you've had. And I think this,
13:57
Speaker 1: especially this last four game stretch, you've had more questions
14:01
Speaker 1: pop up than answers to the previous questions that existed.
14:05
Speaker 1: So that's a challenge, and it's always a challenge when
14:09
Speaker 1: you lose personnel, make no mistake about it. And you
14:11
Speaker 1: overcome a lot of those at times because you have
14:14
Speaker 1: a quarterback with great experience, and he can help make
14:18
Speaker 1: up for some of the loss of the weapons that
14:20
Speaker 1: you may have. But you've had already a loss at
14:23
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season of weapons, and then now
14:27
Speaker 1: you've got a young quarterbacks struggling, and then he's losing
14:30
Speaker 1: more weapons. So it's kind of this little bit of
14:32
Speaker 1: a vicious cycle. And how do you get out of it. Well,
14:36
Speaker 1: you'd love to be able to hand the ball off
14:37
Speaker 1: to your best players Rban talked about a minute ago,
14:40
Speaker 1: and make sure that he gets the football. But James
14:43
Speaker 1: Robinson is not pent. We've seen that. I think everybody
14:47
Speaker 1: can see that he's just not quite a hundred percent.
14:49
Speaker 1: And I'll say this again, I said it earlier. Him
14:52
Speaker 1: at less than is still better than Carlos hide your
14:55
Speaker 1: back up. I think that's very apparent, at least at
14:59
Speaker 1: least eyes tell me that. So I still want to.
15:03
Speaker 1: I know that Urban talked about doing what's best buy
15:06
Speaker 1: for James Robinson and what's best for the team. What's
15:09
Speaker 1: best for the team. And look, if if James Robinson
15:12
Speaker 1: is at risk of getting hurt further, then you need
15:16
Speaker 1: to take him out because you need to make sure
15:18
Speaker 1: that you do right by him. But if he's not
15:20
Speaker 1: at risk of getting hurt worse, he's still your best
15:24
Speaker 1: option at running back. He's better than Labisca, He's better
15:28
Speaker 1: than Carlos Hide, he's better than Divino Zigbo, He's better
15:31
Speaker 1: than Ogumbwali. That's just that's facts facts. You can't change that.
15:37
Speaker 1: So that's I think a little bit of a quandary
15:40
Speaker 1: that this offense is in is that you would like
15:42
Speaker 1: to go back, and I said this earlier as well,
15:44
Speaker 1: you would love to go back to what your core is.
15:46
Speaker 1: Your core is is the running game and the strength
15:49
Speaker 1: of your offensive line. Even though you're you're without Lender.
15:52
Speaker 1: Look you still got chat Leon here. He's playing. He's
15:54
Speaker 1: a good football player. But you'd love to go back
15:57
Speaker 1: to what that was, the anticipated strength of your foot
16:00
Speaker 1: all team and rely on that a little bit. But
16:03
Speaker 1: in that game against the forty Niners, they shut it down.
16:07
Speaker 1: I mean the forty Niners shut it down. There was
16:11
Speaker 1: very little to no running room for Jane Robinson in
16:13
Speaker 1: that game. He had twelve carries for twenty nine yards.
16:18
Speaker 1: Was not effective, and I don't think it was any
16:21
Speaker 1: If that's not any kind of indictment on James Robinson.
16:24
Speaker 1: I just think the forty Niners just said, hey, look
16:26
Speaker 1: we're gonna stack the line. We know that five is
16:29
Speaker 1: your guy. Good luck on the outside. Go ahead, Yeah,
16:35
Speaker 1: we'll cover. Yeah, give it your best shot. We'll come
16:40
Speaker 1: back in a moment. More from Urban Meyer. Ahead from Monday,
16:44
Speaker 1: we'll also get into the defensive play this past week
16:47
Speaker 1: and start looking ahead to the Atlanta Falcons in week twelve.
16:50
Speaker 1: It's The Urban Meyer's Show on Jaguars Radio. Welcome back.
17:05
Speaker 1: The Urban Meyer Show continues along the Jaguars Radio network.
17:11
Speaker 1: This is a tough go right now. And and I
17:14
Speaker 1: don't care about me. I care about the people that
17:16
Speaker 1: do all the work around here, these uh players, especially
17:19
Speaker 1: when I see a guy like Roy Robertson arguably had
17:24
Speaker 1: his best game at two sacks, one taking away because
17:26
Speaker 1: of promotal you know, he's uh. I can't wait to
17:29
Speaker 1: see him tomorrow. On's gonna have been so busy and
17:31
Speaker 1: had a chance to cover it with the players, but
17:33
Speaker 1: it was taken away from some you know, Tyson Campbell
17:36
Speaker 1: makers some great players on the ball now you can
17:38
Speaker 1: see and and I'm gonna make the you know, make
17:40
Speaker 1: your plays on offense, and let's keep this thing rolling
17:42
Speaker 1: because We had three drives on offense in the first half,
17:46
Speaker 1: three and out of fumble and then really a nice
17:49
Speaker 1: job that was kind of stopped with a penalty. We
17:52
Speaker 1: kick a field goal and okay, let's go, and then
17:54
Speaker 1: we had a three out again. But then you're seeing
17:56
Speaker 1: the second half at some you know, at two good drives.
17:59
Speaker 1: One was stopped because the two sacks and holding count
18:02
Speaker 1: of Cam went down, and then uh, then the next
18:05
Speaker 1: one we went right down the field. So um got
18:08
Speaker 1: a game this week against the Falcons. That's our focus
18:11
Speaker 1: and improving and make sure we have the lineup correct.
18:13
Speaker 1: That is Urban Meyer yesterday and his press conference. Welcome
18:16
Speaker 1: back to the Urban Meyers Show. J P. Shadrick, Jeff Logerman,
18:19
Speaker 1: if you've just joined us. We recorded Urban Meyer yesterday
18:23
Speaker 1: for this show today with thanks you having holiday with
18:26
Speaker 1: changes in schedule, but we've lost the recordings, so our
18:29
Speaker 1: apologies we couldn't get with Urban today for the show.
18:33
Speaker 1: Coming up in a little bit, we will hear from
18:36
Speaker 1: Urban and today's press conference with thanks to Andrew Gibson
18:39
Speaker 1: of Tintin XL. We'll have some audio coming up the
18:42
Speaker 1: rest of the show from Urban. The the one of
18:45
Speaker 1: the fun exchanges that we in a conversation that we
18:47
Speaker 1: had with Urban yesterday. Look, you know, we talked ball
18:49
Speaker 1: for a couple of segments and then we got on
18:51
Speaker 1: the topic of Thanksgiving there in the last segment, and
18:55
Speaker 1: UH and and JP, there was this is rival rivalry week.
19:00
Speaker 1: I think you could saying college because you've got the Commonwealth.
19:05
Speaker 1: Uh class clash? Is that what it's called? Coming? You
19:09
Speaker 1: played it, but it wasn't called that when I was there.
19:12
Speaker 1: Virginia Virginia Tech. Yes, that's probably not the premier rivalry.
19:16
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it is. I'm just saying that it's
19:18
Speaker 1: rivalry week. And then so this week, is it Florida
19:21
Speaker 1: Florida State? Okay, that's a that's a big game. Well
19:26
Speaker 1: it is from the standpoint of that it's a rivalry, okay.
19:29
Speaker 1: And then you brought up the game Ohio State, and
19:34
Speaker 1: then you asked him and then he brought he brought
19:36
Speaker 1: up something like what did he say exactly? Rivalry week?
19:39
Speaker 1: It's Ohio State is playing the team up north? And
19:43
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't understand this. I did not have
19:46
Speaker 1: a clue. And I was going, what do you mean
19:48
Speaker 1: by the team up north? And you know, I tried
19:50
Speaker 1: to bait him into it, Hey, what what team would
19:52
Speaker 1: that be or but he said, the team up north,
19:54
Speaker 1: that's it, because they don't I had no idea what
19:57
Speaker 1: you're talking about. Ohio State. People don't use the word
19:59
Speaker 1: Michigan in this week or most weeks. And they mark
20:03
Speaker 1: out all the m's on signs around campus in Columbus.
20:06
Speaker 1: Why because it's Michigan and they don't like the letter M.
20:11
Speaker 1: That's why. But it was funny because he didn't say,
20:14
Speaker 1: I don't even think that because they won like fourteen
20:16
Speaker 1: in the last fifteen against Michigan or whatever. And then
20:19
Speaker 1: we got on the conversation of Thanksgiving and he said, looky,
20:22
Speaker 1: I got a lot to be thankful for. And then
20:24
Speaker 1: I had to quiz him. I had to quiz him right,
20:27
Speaker 1: and said, Okay, what do you Thanksgiving? Okay, fried turkey,
20:31
Speaker 1: roasted turkey, ham, what is it? He said, definitely not
20:35
Speaker 1: fried roasted turkey. And I've mashed potatoes, cream spinach, cream
20:42
Speaker 1: spinach and mashed potatoes. And I said, how about some gravy?
20:47
Speaker 1: He say, yeah, a little bit of gravy, not a
20:49
Speaker 1: whole lot, just a little bit gravy. So I told
20:51
Speaker 1: him I said, look, you spend a week with me,
20:53
Speaker 1: I'll have them waited three hundred pounds of no time.
20:55
Speaker 1: That's true statement. That's a true statement. Oh, there's there's
20:58
Speaker 1: no doubt, JP. If you out with me all the time,
21:01
Speaker 1: I'd have you to four bills. Wow. That's uh. I
21:06
Speaker 1: don't really have any doubt in that at all either,
21:08
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. Um. So, yeah, that's that's
21:12
Speaker 1: where they are. So defense, right, they're on the field
21:15
Speaker 1: twenty plays, you know, thirteen minutes. Okay, that's one. They
21:20
Speaker 1: held him to a field goal. Give him credit for that.
21:23
Speaker 1: They didn't get any help from the offense. And let
21:25
Speaker 1: me just say again, if if had some awareness, it
21:29
Speaker 1: would not have been a field goal, it would have
21:30
Speaker 1: been a town because they could have caught the Jaguarson
21:33
Speaker 1: an all side situation as they were running the eleventh
21:35
Speaker 1: ban on the field and the field goal block all that.
21:38
Speaker 1: So next drive, seven plays, eight yards, touchdown, Deebo Samuel
21:42
Speaker 1: runs for in the score nothing. By the way, By
21:45
Speaker 1: the way, Deebo Samuel, I mean, he's a really good player,
21:50
Speaker 1: the second leading receiver in the league, and they're lining
21:52
Speaker 1: him up in a backfield and hand him the football
21:54
Speaker 1: and it looks natural, I know. I mean that's that's
21:57
Speaker 1: the thing that's impressive is that when he carries the ball,
21:59
Speaker 1: he is a he is a natural gifted runner and uh,
22:04
Speaker 1: top five player in the league going in that game
22:06
Speaker 1: and far as far as yards after catch, so you
22:08
Speaker 1: know that the guy's got skills once he gets the
22:10
Speaker 1: ball in his hands. And then we watched him on
22:13
Speaker 1: Monday night and lined up in the backfield and I
22:15
Speaker 1: and look, I've never seen Deebo Samuel line up as
22:19
Speaker 1: a running back. That was the first exposure that I
22:21
Speaker 1: ever had to it. And I was watching the game
22:23
Speaker 1: going and watching the film. Also I'm like, what what
22:27
Speaker 1: this guy looked? And also when you when you looked
22:30
Speaker 1: at him, you go, man, he's not built like a
22:33
Speaker 1: wide receiver. I mean, he's got the junk in the
22:36
Speaker 1: trunk and thick and he's you know, he's got that
22:38
Speaker 1: kind of that body type. But he looks kind of
22:40
Speaker 1: like a like a running back a little bit. And
22:44
Speaker 1: uh and he's a good football player nonetheless, and uh,
22:47
Speaker 1: if I'm if I'm Kyle Shanahan, I absolutely try to
22:51
Speaker 1: find all kinds of creative waves to get him the
22:53
Speaker 1: ball because he's a he's an elite player Jaguars defense.
22:57
Speaker 1: So I think the general point is that they were
22:59
Speaker 1: on the field a lot. They had some third down
23:02
Speaker 1: penalty mistakes, there was an offside, an ejection, injuries, injury
23:08
Speaker 1: stuff happened, you know, but on the opening drive of
23:11
Speaker 1: the game, by the way, just real quick, let me
23:12
Speaker 1: just coming on that ejection. If if ray Shawn Jenkins, Okay,
23:18
Speaker 1: a couple towny pen many penalties do you have this year?
23:20
Speaker 1: Like when it comes to that he total on the
23:22
Speaker 1: season as a whole, he has six whole penalties. There
23:25
Speaker 1: are two tawning calls and unnecessary roughness was back in
23:28
Speaker 1: week one, and then this ejection, So four of his
23:31
Speaker 1: six are kind of extracurricular related. Okay for four extracurricular deals,
23:39
Speaker 1: and in my opinion, conversation should go. Okay, Rayshawn, love you,
23:45
Speaker 1: love the way you give us everything you got, Appreciate
23:49
Speaker 1: the leadership ability that you have, and love the edge
23:53
Speaker 1: because edge is a good thing. But you can't go
23:58
Speaker 1: over that edge and you did again. If you do
24:01
Speaker 1: it again, then the sea's coming off? Would that not
24:06
Speaker 1: be fair? I mean, yeah, all right? I mean is
24:10
Speaker 1: that what you want representing the planet. Fournette leaves the
24:13
Speaker 1: bench to go insert himself into a fight in Buffalo.
24:18
Speaker 1: He should have lost the sea because he wasn't even
24:21
Speaker 1: on the field. It wasn't even an emotional moment. He
24:24
Speaker 1: should have lost his sea off of his chest for that.
24:28
Speaker 1: And I think in this instance, you you have a
24:30
Speaker 1: conversation with the player and say, look, you know this
24:32
Speaker 1: is we appreciate your leadership, but here's the deal. You
24:35
Speaker 1: hurt the team, and it's happened before. So here here's
24:38
Speaker 1: the thing if you if it happens again, the sea's
24:41
Speaker 1: gotta go. That's fair. There's got to be accountability anyway,
24:46
Speaker 1: just wanted to make a comment on that. So there's that. Um,
24:49
Speaker 1: so let's our conversation. We've got plenty of show ahead.
24:52
Speaker 1: We'll come back. We'll hear from Rbin Meyer from today. Uh.
24:56
Speaker 1: He had a press conference right before we went on
24:58
Speaker 1: here locally here in Jacksonville today and we'll get some
25:01
Speaker 1: of the highlights of that coming up. It's the Urban
25:03
Speaker 1: Meyers Show on Jaguars Radio. Yeah. I felt like once again,
25:09
Speaker 1: I felt, you know, we we you know, the beginning
25:11
Speaker 1: season was awful, but then against the Cardinals, you started
25:13
Speaker 1: seeing some good stuff. And then as you started seeing
25:16
Speaker 1: a nice trajectory, and you know, we random ball, we're
25:19
Speaker 1: up on. We made a couple of stakes against the Cardinals,
25:23
Speaker 1: and then you know, I just felt good about the
25:25
Speaker 1: trajectory and that changed about a month ago. That's Urban
25:28
Speaker 1: Meyer today in his press conference and welcome back to
25:31
Speaker 1: the Urban Meyers Show on the Jaguars Radio Network JP Shadrick,
25:35
Speaker 1: Jeff Lagaman. Usually we have the head coach in the
25:38
Speaker 1: first half hour and if you've just joined us, but
25:41
Speaker 1: we didn't this time because we recorded Urban yesterday. We
25:44
Speaker 1: lost the recording technical issues here in the building. We
25:47
Speaker 1: apologize for that. Well here throughout the next half hour
25:50
Speaker 1: from Urban earlier today as we get ready for the
25:53
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving holiday coming up, the final preparations tomorrow and then
25:58
Speaker 1: Friday Saturday walk through for the Atlanta Falcons in week
26:02
Speaker 1: number twelve year at t I A. Bank Field, and
26:05
Speaker 1: that is the thing you know here in Urban say
26:07
Speaker 1: that the offense was trending up. It felt like earlier
26:10
Speaker 1: in the season they had you know, second half lead
26:13
Speaker 1: on the Cardinals and a couple of teams and couldn't
26:16
Speaker 1: finish the job in those games. And now it's gone
26:20
Speaker 1: the exact other way. They can't even get close to
26:23
Speaker 1: having a leader, barely are getting in the end zone.
26:26
Speaker 1: And a crazy thing is that this downward trend, the
26:32
Speaker 1: defense has kind of bounced back, and so you would
26:37
Speaker 1: think it would be easier to maintain the trend because
26:42
Speaker 1: of the defensive improvement, But the offense has just really
26:45
Speaker 1: gone uh in a southward direction very quickly, and it's
26:50
Speaker 1: got a change. And I think part part of the
26:53
Speaker 1: reason why they were headed in the right trajectory is
26:55
Speaker 1: that you know, you can go back. If you do,
26:57
Speaker 1: you can you pull up the the rushing numbers from
27:02
Speaker 1: the games that he's referring to, which if you go
27:05
Speaker 1: back and you look at the games that he's talking about,
27:08
Speaker 1: what you're talking about Arizona, Cincinnati, Tennessee in Miami. That's
27:13
Speaker 1: the four game stretch I want to look at, and
27:17
Speaker 1: I think the conversation needs to be about what were
27:20
Speaker 1: the rushing numbers in those games? All right, I'll tell
27:23
Speaker 1: you exactly right now, starting with Arizona, right, one hundred
27:27
Speaker 1: fifty nine yards rushing. Okay, next week at Cincinnati one
27:31
Speaker 1: d thirty nine yards rushing. Tennessee game yards rushing Okay,
27:39
Speaker 1: and then you go back in the eighties, a couple
27:42
Speaker 1: of weeks seventy nine they had for Miami, Miami, they
27:46
Speaker 1: were eighty four yards. Okay, not a lot, but Trevor
27:48
Speaker 1: was good. Uh, Trevor's numbers in those four games, you got,
27:53
Speaker 1: you got Trevor's numbers in those four games doing just
27:55
Speaker 1: a moment because you know, look a lot of times
27:58
Speaker 1: when you have a real strong running game, it makes
28:01
Speaker 1: it a hell of a lot easier on the quarterback.
28:04
Speaker 1: Ready for them. Yeah, Arizona, he had a sixty eight
28:07
Speaker 1: point one rating, four two picks at Cincinnati nine point five,
28:16
Speaker 1: didn't throw a touchdown, And I was going to bring
28:20
Speaker 1: up that's the game that they kind of went back
28:22
Speaker 1: to some of the r p O stuff because it
28:25
Speaker 1: wasn't great prior to that game. The Arizona game was
28:28
Speaker 1: a little bit of a struggle for Trevory. He's thrown
28:30
Speaker 1: a lot of interceptions and then all of a sudden
28:32
Speaker 1: they go, uh to Cincinnati, and then they start blending
28:36
Speaker 1: some of these college type plays back in and he
28:39
Speaker 1: looked like he was comfortable, and look, you're exposing to
28:41
Speaker 1: him when you do those kind of things. The question
28:44
Speaker 1: I think will be this week is do you go
28:46
Speaker 1: back and do some of the things that you did
28:49
Speaker 1: in the Cincinnati game to get a comfort level back.
28:53
Speaker 1: And I don't know the answer to that, but it's
28:55
Speaker 1: gonna be something that's interesting to watch. Okay, after Cincinnati,
28:58
Speaker 1: go to Tennessee trying to see and I a two
29:00
Speaker 1: point one rating, pretty good, good day, pretty good, pretty
29:03
Speaker 1: good Miami game, ninety three point four, trending upward. Right,
29:06
Speaker 1: everything you're feeling good about. Okay, you got first overall
29:09
Speaker 1: picking you like it, and then the next three weeks
29:12
Speaker 1: are below rating rating, sixty nine rating and then below
29:17
Speaker 1: sixty completion percentage and every game was a below seventy
29:21
Speaker 1: rating for him over the next three games, Yeah, not
29:25
Speaker 1: not what you want. And then the rating I think
29:27
Speaker 1: was a little bit of over that this pass game,
29:31
Speaker 1: but you just weren't able to string enough place together
29:33
Speaker 1: as an offense to really say, Okay, Trevor had a
29:35
Speaker 1: really good game. And I know that Urban said he
29:37
Speaker 1: had a good game, but I mean it wasn't a
29:40
Speaker 1: bad game. I think would be a better way to
29:42
Speaker 1: put it. Well, come back in a moment more from
29:44
Speaker 1: urban Meyer today, How do you keep Trevor Lawrence Confident
29:47
Speaker 1: and Ready, and then a discussion about Daryl Bevil from
29:51
Speaker 1: today's press conference as well, the Jaguars offensive coordinator. This
29:54
Speaker 1: is the Urban Meyers Show on Jaguars Radio. Welcome back.
30:10
Speaker 1: The Urban Meyers Show continues along the Jaguars Radio network. Well.
30:15
Speaker 1: One of the reasons I hired Vivian and also Bran Schockenheimer.
30:17
Speaker 1: They did it with Russell Wilson. You know they weren't
30:21
Speaker 1: the you know, resistive because we met for a long time,
30:25
Speaker 1: and um, I watched the film and I saw what
30:27
Speaker 1: they did with Russell as far as you know, Bray
30:29
Speaker 1: contain r p O, you know, the zone read type stuff.
30:34
Speaker 1: They did that with Russell, So, um, you know something.
30:38
Speaker 1: There's a fine line too about the you know, preparing
30:41
Speaker 1: a quarterback for a long career and then also keeping
30:45
Speaker 1: him out of harm's way. And those are conversations we
30:47
Speaker 1: have daily. That is Urban Meyer today and is press
30:51
Speaker 1: conference and welcome back to the Urban Meyers Joe J. P.
30:53
Speaker 1: Shadrick with Jeff Lockman. The Jaguars coming off to San
30:57
Speaker 1: Francisco Lass heading in to a Week twelve matchup this
31:01
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. A lot of conversation this week,
31:06
Speaker 1: obviously about the Jags offense. They've scored forty three points
31:09
Speaker 1: in four weeks, not in each of the four weeks,
31:13
Speaker 1: in four weeks total, how many? How many? How many
31:17
Speaker 1: meaningful points? Three last week? But they were down three
31:21
Speaker 1: touchdown or three scores when that happened. Um, that might
31:24
Speaker 1: not even count. I wouldn't even count that. No, I
31:26
Speaker 1: wouldn't count seven. Um certainly not the touchdown because it
31:30
Speaker 1: was garbage time, but the field goal of seventeen nothing. Yeah,
31:34
Speaker 1: But I mean just overall, I mean, it would be
31:35
Speaker 1: interested to go back and say, Okay, you went. You're like, like,
31:38
Speaker 1: if if the game is tight, you know how many
31:41
Speaker 1: points like in Seattle? How many points did you score
31:45
Speaker 1: in Seattle? That we're meaningful? Right? And they avoided the
31:49
Speaker 1: shut out the end of the game. I mean, but
31:51
Speaker 1: do you really consider that, you know, No, I don't
31:56
Speaker 1: a great score. No, I mean, I mean, and that's
31:59
Speaker 1: what I think. You know that this team is struggling.
32:02
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously when you look at the numbers, but
32:03
Speaker 1: then if you actually if you try to break it
32:06
Speaker 1: down a little bit further and you look at, Okay, well,
32:08
Speaker 1: how many meaningful points have they scored in the last
32:10
Speaker 1: four games. It it's a little bit even more concerning
32:14
Speaker 1: than just saying, well, it's forty three points in four games.
32:17
Speaker 1: I mean how many? How many meaningful points? Not a
32:19
Speaker 1: whole lot. Got to be better, Gotta be better. And
32:23
Speaker 1: and that's why when he Urban was just talking about,
32:27
Speaker 1: you know the reason he hired Bevil and Shoddy, which
32:30
Speaker 1: is Brian Schottenheimer, who was a quarterbacks coach, passing game coordinator,
32:33
Speaker 1: and you talked to uh, those guys and they were
32:37
Speaker 1: and the reason he talked about why he hired them
32:39
Speaker 1: was because that they worked some of that stuff with
32:42
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, and it was the read option stuff and
32:44
Speaker 1: that's what Trevor ran when he was at Clemson. And
32:47
Speaker 1: what we were talking about before the break was that
32:49
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati game was the game that you kind of
32:52
Speaker 1: saw a little bit more of that type of flavor
32:54
Speaker 1: with the offense. But when you do more of that
32:58
Speaker 1: type of flavor, you also expose the quarterback to more
33:02
Speaker 1: hits and more potential injury. And that's where Urbans talking
33:06
Speaker 1: about you're trying to achieve a bounce because you want
33:09
Speaker 1: to end up making sure that the quarterback stays healthy
33:11
Speaker 1: and long term, are you going to have your quarterback
33:14
Speaker 1: running read options stuff when he's in your six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, fifteen, whatever,
33:19
Speaker 1: And that's that's the hope. I mean that he's going
33:21
Speaker 1: to be your quarterback for you know, decade and a half,
33:24
Speaker 1: two decades, and you don't want to get get him
33:28
Speaker 1: crushed in his first year because well, we're struggling and
33:33
Speaker 1: we gotta make sure that we save our our own
33:36
Speaker 1: face and do better with the offense because we're not
33:39
Speaker 1: doing very well. Let's go ahead and put our quarterback
33:42
Speaker 1: at risk. No, let's hear a short comment today of
33:45
Speaker 1: Urban discussing the possibility of more R P O of
33:48
Speaker 1: the offense. Yeah, we can, and those conversations have been had,
33:51
Speaker 1: you know, do what he does well, those are conversations
33:54
Speaker 1: we're having now, still having him. That's all you really
33:56
Speaker 1: got to say about it. Today. Another conversation about how
33:59
Speaker 1: do you keep Trevor's confidence now if things aren't going well.
34:03
Speaker 1: I remind them their professionals were all professionals. You've got
34:05
Speaker 1: a job to do, go out and do it, and uh,
34:08
Speaker 1: we're gonna try to build this thing to be uh,
34:10
Speaker 1: you know, the vision hasn't changed here that what we
34:13
Speaker 1: expect this place to be and go out and beat
34:15
Speaker 1: the falcons. That's what we're doing. And finally some confidence
34:18
Speaker 1: in the parts they do have on offense and we
34:21
Speaker 1: still have good players. You'll never hear me say that
34:23
Speaker 1: the obvious that the three fast guys that you know
34:26
Speaker 1: et N Shark and now Eggs or those guys are
34:30
Speaker 1: all legitimate fast we but we have, we have all
34:33
Speaker 1: we need. We just have to be creative in the
34:37
Speaker 1: game planning and make some place. That's urban Meyer today
34:40
Speaker 1: from his press conference, and hey, they have it. They're
34:44
Speaker 1: gonna roll with what they have and try to figure
34:46
Speaker 1: it out a different way. Well that's all you do,
34:49
Speaker 1: all you can do right at this point. Yeah, and
34:51
Speaker 1: uh and you know, and one other thing too, is that, Okay,
34:54
Speaker 1: let's say last two weeks you've seen a lot of
34:57
Speaker 1: man coverage. Well, the foul Cans do something similar with
35:01
Speaker 1: deem Ps. You obviously need to have a little bit
35:04
Speaker 1: of history, which I'm sure there's a book on DMPs.
35:08
Speaker 1: And to give you an example, if if DMPs is
35:10
Speaker 1: a guy that runs a lot of man courage, okay,
35:12
Speaker 1: well you might want to have have some routes to
35:15
Speaker 1: where you're you have man beaters, you know, where you
35:17
Speaker 1: got rubs and washes and guys crossing on the field
35:22
Speaker 1: where they're there, you know, the traffic is disrupting the
35:25
Speaker 1: coverage and you get open receivers. So there's a lot
35:28
Speaker 1: of different things that you can do from a from
35:31
Speaker 1: a play caller standpoint that will be fit to whether
35:35
Speaker 1: you're seeing man or whether you're seeing zone. And I
35:38
Speaker 1: think that's gonna be something that as the as an
35:41
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, you want to make sure that you're on
35:44
Speaker 1: point and when I say on point, that you have
35:46
Speaker 1: the calls that give you the best chance of success
35:49
Speaker 1: for that particular defense. We'll come back a little more
35:52
Speaker 1: from Urban Ahead today as the Jaguars prep for the
35:55
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons. This is the Urban Meyers Show on the
35:58
Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio Network. I think I think we're gonna be
36:01
Speaker 1: okay there. It's stay to day. He's got an ac
36:04
Speaker 1: spring that's nothing major and then shacks stay today. Um,
36:08
Speaker 1: Lyles is good. Cam Robinson's was good to code out
36:11
Speaker 1: and good at the good news on him. I think
36:13
Speaker 1: we got him back for this one, which we need him.
36:16
Speaker 1: This returner we're facing that's Irban Meyer earlier today at
36:19
Speaker 1: first person who's talking about was Tyson Campbell on the shoulders,
36:24
Speaker 1: So that's good news. The last guy that he was
36:26
Speaker 1: talking about coming back for the return game, uh, the
36:30
Speaker 1: code of Allen Because they're talking about covering the returning game,
36:33
Speaker 1: you know that kind of thing. There's another question who
36:36
Speaker 1: they're gonna have returning kicks and punts. Now, I mean
36:38
Speaker 1: that's a that's a great question. Clay Brooks could handle it.
36:41
Speaker 1: He's done some of that before. In fact, claybrook Clay
36:44
Speaker 1: Brooks was drafted last year mainly as a returner. I
36:48
Speaker 1: mean having him play corner was really an afterthought. He
36:52
Speaker 1: was drafted for his return ability. So yeah, I mean
36:56
Speaker 1: I would think that he would go into that role
36:59
Speaker 1: the Tyson Campbell. A C sprain can be incredibly painful,
37:06
Speaker 1: and I don't know how they handle it these days,
37:08
Speaker 1: but back in the day, I mean, it wasn't like
37:10
Speaker 1: a big deal. You just get you shoot it up,
37:12
Speaker 1: you know, you in sort of needle into that into
37:14
Speaker 1: that a C space and and do a painkilling injection
37:19
Speaker 1: and then you rock and roll, you know. I mean
37:21
Speaker 1: that's just how it used to be. How things are
37:23
Speaker 1: a little bit different now. I don't know if they
37:25
Speaker 1: even allow that type of procedure to happen, But you know, Tyd.
37:31
Speaker 1: The one thing about Tyson, I like the way he's
37:33
Speaker 1: been playing. I think he's gotten gotten dramatically better. Gosh,
37:37
Speaker 1: you had a pretty rough go of it there against Cincinnati.
37:40
Speaker 1: Seattle was kind of a rough go of it too,
37:42
Speaker 1: and I thought he's gotten better. So it was good
37:44
Speaker 1: to see him improve, and I want to see him
37:46
Speaker 1: continue to improve. I like the way he plays. He
37:48
Speaker 1: plays hard and he finishes, and he's got great length,
37:53
Speaker 1: and I think he's adjusted the way that he plays
37:56
Speaker 1: the ball now, which is significant and it's made him
37:58
Speaker 1: more effective. When I say he's changed the way that
38:01
Speaker 1: he plays the ball, when he when a lot of
38:04
Speaker 1: defensive backs when they cover a wide receiver, if the
38:09
Speaker 1: ball quarterbacks back behind me here this way, that would
38:13
Speaker 1: be to your left, okay, and I'm running down the
38:15
Speaker 1: field as a corner, my eyes are not on the quarterback.
38:18
Speaker 1: You're running with the wide receiver. Defensive backs, a lot
38:22
Speaker 1: of them, what they do is at the last second,
38:23
Speaker 1: when they realized that the ball is coming, they turn
38:27
Speaker 1: around to play the ball. That's where Tyson's gotten into trouble,
38:31
Speaker 1: and I've noticed a change and what he has done.
38:33
Speaker 1: Instead of turning around to find the ball, he's kept
38:37
Speaker 1: his attention on the wide receiver and then been a
38:39
Speaker 1: reaction where he tries to bust the ball up out
38:41
Speaker 1: of the out of the receiver's hands, sees the receiver
38:44
Speaker 1: looking at it and putting his hands up and just
38:45
Speaker 1: hit the hands or whatever. But he's not trying to
38:47
Speaker 1: get his head back to the ball. And that's fine
38:50
Speaker 1: because where he's gotten in trouble is trying to get
38:52
Speaker 1: the head back and then make a play on the
38:54
Speaker 1: ball and then it's not happening, and that you're not
38:57
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of interceptions that way, but you're
38:59
Speaker 1: gonna have a whole lot of a lot more in
39:01
Speaker 1: completions with him playing at that fashion instead of the
39:04
Speaker 1: old way that he played it. So I like the
39:07
Speaker 1: way he's made that adjustment, and now hopefully he can
39:10
Speaker 1: can learn to get his head back around the ball
39:14
Speaker 1: and then maybe also some zone situations where he's got
39:17
Speaker 1: his eyes back to the quarterback where he then can
39:19
Speaker 1: utilize his ball skills that he does have if he
39:23
Speaker 1: can find the ball. So maybe he can get some
39:26
Speaker 1: interceptions that way, but in man coverage, I like the
39:28
Speaker 1: way he's made the adjustment. We'll take a time out
39:32
Speaker 1: and I get some final thoughts from Urban Meyer today
39:34
Speaker 1: in his press conference. This is the Urban Meyers Show
39:37
Speaker 1: on Jaguars Radio. Wow, welcome back. The Urban Meyers Show
39:48
Speaker 1: continues along the Jaguars Radio network. Feel our staff's got
39:52
Speaker 1: to do a good job, a little bit of creativity,
39:54
Speaker 1: which we feel we haven't done. Um, I got to
39:58
Speaker 1: get the ball in the hands of the guys at
40:00
Speaker 1: the score and uh, we have to do that. That's
40:03
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer today. Welcome back to the Urban Myers Joe
40:07
Speaker 1: Coach Meyer had a press conference today. They moved the
40:09
Speaker 1: schedule around Thanksgiving coming up, so the players left Thursday
40:13
Speaker 1: off and staff and so they're practicing today and tomorrow
40:17
Speaker 1: and then Friday to get ready for the Atlanta Falcons
40:19
Speaker 1: in week twelve. The creativity of the offensive game plan,
40:25
Speaker 1: the comment there and Urban also today talking about the
40:28
Speaker 1: guys are pulling off from everywhere to come play. Yeah,
40:31
Speaker 1: I've always heard the stories and we're in it now.
40:33
Speaker 1: You know we're in it with injuries. Uh where you're
40:39
Speaker 1: you know, pulling guys off the street. Or you know,
40:42
Speaker 1: I was sitting Trent's office every morning and we watched Phil.
40:45
Speaker 1: Where's this guy he's on the street. What does that mean?
40:47
Speaker 1: He's on the street. He's not a physical on the street,
40:50
Speaker 1: but he's he's actually on a plane here right now. Okay,
40:56
Speaker 1: go a little learning curve for Urban. And that's the
40:59
Speaker 1: way it is. I mean, it's a season of attrition
41:03
Speaker 1: and guys get hurt in the league all the time.
41:05
Speaker 1: You gotta go have a plan in place to bring
41:08
Speaker 1: somebody else in to field the spot. A little different
41:11
Speaker 1: than having back to back to back top ten recruiting
41:14
Speaker 1: classes and you just don't pull another jar off the shelf. Hey, freshman,
41:18
Speaker 1: you want some time to come play five star? Come
41:21
Speaker 1: on in. I mean, if you like, For example, you
41:23
Speaker 1: looked at running backs that they had at Ohio State
41:27
Speaker 1: through the years of Urban Meyer, and it's Carlos Hide,
41:30
Speaker 1: it's Ezekiel Elliott. I mean, it's just it's just, you know,
41:33
Speaker 1: the defensive ends for one Bossa to the next Bossa
41:37
Speaker 1: to Chase Young. I mean, are you kidding me? Wide
41:40
Speaker 1: receivers are the same ways and they have had at all.
41:44
Speaker 1: That's what makes I think the NFL I mean just
41:47
Speaker 1: one of the greatest challenges that there is. I mean,
41:49
Speaker 1: it's the greatest challenge in football because you just you
41:54
Speaker 1: can't go out and just recruit a football team that
41:57
Speaker 1: is superior to the ones you're gonna be playing next year.
42:00
Speaker 1: It just doesn't work that way. I mean, that's a
42:02
Speaker 1: it's a league that is built for everybody to have
42:07
Speaker 1: an opportunity at improving and and unfortunately it doesn't always
42:13
Speaker 1: work for everybody, you know. I mean, this team has
42:16
Speaker 1: been struggling for for quite some time. I mean, you
42:18
Speaker 1: take out of it, it's been a struggle for this
42:22
Speaker 1: football team. And the way the league is built, you know,
42:25
Speaker 1: you get a higher draft pick and you have the
42:28
Speaker 1: tools to get better, and it's it's it's a challenge,
42:31
Speaker 1: but I mean there's it's hard because you have to
42:34
Speaker 1: manage the football team and in a way that's very demanding,
42:40
Speaker 1: and it's it's a it's a it's a it's a
42:42
Speaker 1: tough way. It's a tough way to do it, and
42:44
Speaker 1: that's the way it is in the National Football League.
42:46
Speaker 1: It's not easy. If it was easy, everybody would do it.
42:49
Speaker 1: And I think that's why when you look at a
42:51
Speaker 1: guy like Bill Belichick, who has been able to do
42:54
Speaker 1: it with Tom Brady and then now without Tom Brady
42:58
Speaker 1: this year and year in a year out. The consistency
43:01
Speaker 1: that he's been able to put to that organization, it's amazing.
43:07
Speaker 1: It is truly amazing. They don't pay him enough money.
43:11
Speaker 1: I can tell you that nobody knows what he's getting paid.
43:14
Speaker 1: Nobody does. But what do you think he makes you get?
43:18
Speaker 1: If you were the owner of an NFL team? Robert
43:22
Speaker 1: Kraft probably just gave him the checkbook and said, here,
43:25
Speaker 1: write what you'd like. What would you pay him if
43:29
Speaker 1: you owned an NFL team? Won't mean a share of ownership?
43:32
Speaker 1: Maybe is that allowed? I don't know. I don't know.
43:37
Speaker 1: I mean maybe why not? I mean, is he not
43:39
Speaker 1: worth twenty million? If you're paying players, if your franchise
43:44
Speaker 1: quarterback is getting paid. You know, a lot of franchise
43:47
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are making up to forty million, wouldn't Bill Belichick
43:50
Speaker 1: be worth twenty Yeah? There at least. It's just it's
43:55
Speaker 1: just interesting. I mean, that's you know, because he's been
43:58
Speaker 1: he's been a great coach for a long period of time.
44:00
Speaker 1: Jaguars get the Falcons this Sunday one o'clock kickoff time
44:03
