Speaker 1: blue stuff around. And but I got to give credit
1:23
Speaker 1: to our Our fans were outstanding. I mean, they are

1:29
Speaker 1: the defensive stands. You know, you you you play for

Speaker 1: a lot of reasons. You energized for each other on
1:34
Speaker 1: the team, but don't fool yourself. You also play for
1:36
Speaker 1: that crowd. And the crowd was awesome. And uh, our
1:40
Speaker 1: vision of packing this place and making it one of
1:42
Speaker 1: the destination places, I'm telling you, we're gonna We're working
1:44
Speaker 1: our tails out to make this happen, all right, Urban,
1:47
Speaker 1: I thought the game started out exactly the way all
1:49
Speaker 1: football games should start out. The hundred and fifty ninth
1:53
Speaker 1: Fighter Wing of the Air National Guard blew the roof
1:55
Speaker 1: off the stadium. Are you kidding me? How awesome? Was
1:59
Speaker 1: that awesome? I'm a huge military guy because my family
2:02
Speaker 1: and everybody else, and I thought they're going to take
2:03
Speaker 1: out the scoreboard. That's how close. Charlie Strong and I
2:07
Speaker 1: looked like, oh my gosh. And you know, but that
2:09
Speaker 1: rocked the That rocked the foundation of the stadium. And
2:13
Speaker 1: then your defense just played outstanding. I mean, so many
2:16
Speaker 1: guys really stood out. And a lot of people want
2:19
Speaker 1: to jump, oh, Josh Allen this, but I mean, heck,
2:21
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Rudy Ford smooth played well. Your defensive tackles
2:26
Speaker 1: played well. Everybody across the board I thought played about
2:30
Speaker 1: their best game. Are two inside lightbackers to Jeff played
2:33
Speaker 1: their best ball this year. Miles, Jack and Damien were
2:37
Speaker 1: all over. You know, we transitioned to more. We were
2:39
Speaker 1: seventy thirty man zone and we've transitioned ever since the
2:43
Speaker 1: prior to the Dolphins game. You know, we just couldn't
2:46
Speaker 1: we We uh, either made mistakes and evaluating what our
2:50
Speaker 1: players do best, but whatever it was, we just made
2:52
Speaker 1: a transition and it takes a minute. Very proud of
2:55
Speaker 1: our coaches, most short importantly our players. I saw drills
2:59
Speaker 1: showing up in the game. You know, where you get
3:01
Speaker 1: your depth to keep your shoulder square and the ball
3:03
Speaker 1: gets stumped where Josh Allen the Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen.
3:07
Speaker 1: Uh does a great job checking the ball down and
3:09
Speaker 1: we were like missiles to the guy with the ball
3:11
Speaker 1: in his hand. And Rudy Ford and the two linebackers
3:13
Speaker 1: are I mean, you talk about guys going after the ball,
3:16
Speaker 1: they were fantastic. The Irban Meyers Show airs Tuesdays at
3:19
Speaker 1: five o'clock on the Jaguars Radio Network and Jags Social Media.
3:23
Speaker 1: Now back to Monday and Jaguars Happy Our Radio. Pete Prisco,
3:26
Speaker 1: Tony Bsselli and I talked through a dominant defensive performance
3:30
Speaker 1: and a little more in the trenches. If he's not
3:33
Speaker 1: the a f C Defensive Player of the Week, I
3:35
Speaker 1: don't know who is. Pete. He was outstanding. Look, he
3:39
Speaker 1: did it all. He was all over the field. He played.
3:41
Speaker 1: We've seen this coming the last couple of weeks. I
3:44
Speaker 1: think he's improved each and every week. Josh Allen, and
3:46
Speaker 1: he was dominant. Even when he didn't get home yesterday,
3:49
Speaker 1: he was getting pressures. I mean, he was outstanding. It
3:52
Speaker 1: was and that that is a decent left tackle he
3:54
Speaker 1: was working against. The doc isn't awful. He's above average.
4:00
Speaker 1: If you listen to the the thirty two left tackles. I
4:02
Speaker 1: bet he's in the top ten. Yeah, I would agree.
4:06
Speaker 1: I would agree, and he beat him up pretty good. Yeah,
4:09
Speaker 1: I thought he played really well. And I mean, if
4:11
Speaker 1: you look at it, and you know, I know I've
4:13
Speaker 1: given hard time to the PF grades in the past,
4:16
Speaker 1: but I think we were like the last four or
4:18
Speaker 1: five weeks beat He's like one of the highest rated
4:20
Speaker 1: defenders in the NFL court in the PF. Well, I'll
4:25
Speaker 1: tell you this, he wasn't the highest rated defender yesterday.
4:29
Speaker 1: Who was that? Jeffrey on the on his own team,
4:33
Speaker 1: He wasn't. No who was higher. I'll tell you right now,
4:39
Speaker 1: and you get it. I knew I could get you
4:41
Speaker 1: today on some PF grades. The highest rated player, I'm
4:50
Speaker 1: telling you he wasn't here. It is. I'll read it
4:52
Speaker 1: to you. Defensive grades. The highest rated defensive player was
4:56
Speaker 1: Damien Wilson. Okay too, Jack Griffin okay. Number three Rudy
5:04
Speaker 1: Ford and number four was Josh Allen seventy and then
5:13
Speaker 1: by comparison, by comparison, Damien Wilson graded out at eighty five.
5:18
Speaker 1: How he had a sack, eight sold tackle, the fumble
5:22
Speaker 1: recovery and a pick. By the way, as a pass rusher.
5:27
Speaker 1: Just to get you going, his grade as a pass
5:31
Speaker 1: rusher was behind Cavin Brian. Well, that that's because they're
5:39
Speaker 1: putting too much value on the on the sack sent. Well,
5:43
Speaker 1: he's also, I mean, Rudy Ford had a good pass
5:46
Speaker 1: rush grade and I thought he did a good job,
5:48
Speaker 1: you know, for what, he's not really passed, but they
5:49
Speaker 1: got a grade. And for that, Myles Jack had a
5:52
Speaker 1: higher grade as a pass rusher. Where's that coming from? Okay,
5:56
Speaker 1: that's I'm not gonna do this. We're going just for
6:01
Speaker 1: old time's sake, Just for old time's sake, let's give
6:06
Speaker 1: the offensive linemen. Oh boy, we haven't done this in
6:09
Speaker 1: a long time. We actually retired this segment because it
6:12
Speaker 1: was so horrible. But let's get ben Bart's number one
6:16
Speaker 1: of the offensive linemen. I would have said, no, well
6:21
Speaker 1: or Barts number one or two number two. Here you go,
6:25
Speaker 1: Walker little number three, shot Lee number four, and Taylor
6:31
Speaker 1: number five. What I mean, seriously, do they watch the
6:37
Speaker 1: table where they close their eyes and just throw darts
6:39
Speaker 1: at a board and that's where they end up? What
6:43
Speaker 1: are they watching? That is terrible? That is awful, you
6:47
Speaker 1: know what, And I'm not gonna go down this path
6:50
Speaker 1: too far, because I know it's just it's maddening. The
6:53
Speaker 1: guys livelihoods are based on this, like agents and like
6:56
Speaker 1: GM's use some of this stuff. Well, it's just like
7:00
Speaker 1: when you we me and you watch Quisenberry on the
7:04
Speaker 1: Titans and then he's been a one rated right back
7:07
Speaker 1: on the league, gather by their madrigs. Look at all.
7:14
Speaker 1: All us to know is there's not one GM in
7:18
Speaker 1: America that if every right tackle is a free agent,
7:21
Speaker 1: that he would be picked first. Oh, nobody's pounded around.
7:26
Speaker 1: Not Jag Wars Happy Our Radio Monday airs four to
7:31
Speaker 1: six pm on Tinto x l a M and Jacksonville
7:34
Speaker 1: and the Jags social media channels now to Wednesday Morning
7:38
Speaker 1: and Jags Drive Time. Ashlan Sullivan, John Osian and Brian's
7:41
Speaker 1: Exton play a game called this or That and it
7:45
Speaker 1: sparked a conversation about the future of the left tackle
7:48
Speaker 1: position for the Jags. All right, mind this or that
7:50
Speaker 1: is Walker Little or Cam Robinson. I know you're thinking, well,
7:54
Speaker 1: obviously Cam Robinson right now, but this is long term.
7:57
Speaker 1: This is offseason talk that I'm going to bring up now,
8:00
Speaker 1: Cam Robinson. The front office is very happy with the
8:03
Speaker 1: way he's playing. And I talked to Doney Tony Baselli
8:05
Speaker 1: every week, who is raving about the way Cam Robinson
8:08
Speaker 1: is playing. Walker Little played last week, held his own
8:11
Speaker 1: had one sack of rookie figuring it out, and when
8:13
Speaker 1: he was drafted, we all assumed, okay, that would be
8:15
Speaker 1: the replacement for Cam Robinson on a one year deal.
8:18
Speaker 1: I'm now starting to think, what if they resigned Cam Robinson,
8:21
Speaker 1: And this is gonna be a tough decision because both
8:23
Speaker 1: are playing kind of well, and Walker Little supposed to
8:26
Speaker 1: be the replacements. I don't know if it's going to
8:28
Speaker 1: happen that quickly. What if they resigned Cam Robins Little
8:31
Speaker 1: is working on a rookie contract. If you want Cam Robinson,
8:34
Speaker 1: you certainly have the cap room to be able to
8:37
Speaker 1: keep him. It sounds when you talk to folks on
8:39
Speaker 1: that side of the hall, it sounds like they're really
8:41
Speaker 1: high on the way that he's playing. Um, so there's
8:43
Speaker 1: no need to rush it. Get a team friendly deal
8:46
Speaker 1: that that works for Cam Robinson and his people, and
8:48
Speaker 1: he's not gonna want a team friendly deal, that's my
8:50
Speaker 1: but find a way to structure a contract if it's possible.
8:53
Speaker 1: And you don't have to move on. You know, you've
8:55
Speaker 1: got Jowan Taylor on the other side. You're waiting for him,
8:57
Speaker 1: and we talk about Josh Allen's development. Well, may have
9:01
Speaker 1: taken a little longer because of the A C l
9:03
Speaker 1: and and it lingered into nineteen and not a good
9:07
Speaker 1: football team last year. For us to see the Cam
9:10
Speaker 1: Robinson that they were excited about when they drafted him
9:13
Speaker 1: and moved up in the second round to get him
9:15
Speaker 1: in seventeen, I wouldn't just assume he's gone. I think
9:19
Speaker 1: you try to find a way to keep him. Yeah,
9:21
Speaker 1: Cam brings a lot in the sense that he's pretty reliable. Uh,
9:26
Speaker 1: except for the A C. He had a couple of things,
9:28
Speaker 1: but I mean he didn't play last week, but that
9:31
Speaker 1: was kind of flukey. The Madden types out there are
9:34
Speaker 1: now saying, well, you drafted Walk a little you got
9:36
Speaker 1: get rid of Cam Robinson. You do that. You always
9:39
Speaker 1: want to be where letting good football players in the building,
9:43
Speaker 1: especially on the offensive line. It would be a little
9:45
Speaker 1: unusual in this day and age to keep Cam Robinson
9:48
Speaker 1: because that was why they drafted Walk a little bit,
9:50
Speaker 1: plug and play. But hasn't it been nice this year?
9:55
Speaker 1: For you not to stress out when any first string
9:59
Speaker 1: offensive line man gets hurt. Uh, this team is really
10:02
Speaker 1: deep on the offensive line. I agree with you. I
10:06
Speaker 1: don't know how it'll play out, but I do not
10:08
Speaker 1: think that resigning Cam Robinson is remotely off the table. Yeah,
10:11
Speaker 1: and I don't think if I felt if I was
10:13
Speaker 1: asked the same question a couple of months ago, I
10:14
Speaker 1: don't know if I would have felt that way. But
10:16
Speaker 1: I think it all depends if Cam Robinson wants that
10:17
Speaker 1: make a deal or not. They're gonna have to he's
10:19
Speaker 1: gonna want it. Yeah, they're gonna have to compromise. They're
10:22
Speaker 1: gonna have to pay him, but they can also look
10:23
Speaker 1: a walker little. It's doable. Uh, it'll be tricky. Well,
10:28
Speaker 1: if we're talking about offseason at this particular moment, your
10:31
Speaker 1: highest paid player is your left guard Andrew Norwell right,
10:35
Speaker 1: who's played well this year also, But if you're looking
10:37
Speaker 1: for some room, perhaps you can find it there cap
10:40
Speaker 1: wise right and move on, because you can't have a
10:42
Speaker 1: guard making sixteen million to be your highest paid player
10:45
Speaker 1: if you're gonna give Cam Robinson that kind of a deal.
10:47
Speaker 1: Jake Drivetime, here's Monday, Wednesday and Thursday at ten o'clock
10:51
Speaker 1: on Jack's social media. Moving along to the defense, last week,
10:55
Speaker 1: of course, defensive in and outside linebacker Josh Allen had
10:58
Speaker 1: a career day. Eight tackle was a sack of fumble, recovery,
11:01
Speaker 1: and the interception. He was named the a f C
11:04
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Week for the effort and spoke
11:07
Speaker 1: with the media Wednesday to give his reaction. Now, that's
11:10
Speaker 1: a huge compliment for myself, but for this team, man,
11:13
Speaker 1: it's just so you just how we all play, you know,
11:17
Speaker 1: saying when we all fly around, when we all do
11:18
Speaker 1: our things, somebody's gonna be there. Yeah, So kudos to
11:22
Speaker 1: teammates helped me get success. You know, I can't do
11:25
Speaker 1: without him obviously, but definitely thankful for that being an
11:29
Speaker 1: opportunity to get die ward hopefully get some more. You
11:33
Speaker 1: were excited to watch the take and watch it back.
11:36
Speaker 1: What did you see when you watch the take back? Guys,
11:39
Speaker 1: never quit, man, We've been don't you know? It was
11:42
Speaker 1: just that that bend no break mentality. Defense. Man. They
11:45
Speaker 1: had a couple of shots yet, but when they got
11:47
Speaker 1: in the resident, we stopped them. We pushed them back.
11:50
Speaker 1: Uh So, just just to just to see us play
11:53
Speaker 1: mistake free football, and this is and like and it's
11:57
Speaker 1: kind of crazy because like, I know, I've been saying
11:58
Speaker 1: that for the last couple weeks, but then like watching
12:01
Speaker 1: actual games and then you can just tell, Okay, this
12:05
Speaker 1: team probably won because this team had this many mistakes.
12:08
Speaker 1: You don't say what this team wanted to turn off
12:10
Speaker 1: about it. So it's like every team is just like
12:12
Speaker 1: who's gonna make the least amount of mistakes? And you know,
12:15
Speaker 1: the defense collectively, we we played sound football, and we
12:19
Speaker 1: played for each other, and we played fast and physical
12:21
Speaker 1: all games. So but that's just the standard that we
12:24
Speaker 1: have for ourselves. Man, that's the standard that we felt
12:26
Speaker 1: like we could have been playing at, that we had
12:28
Speaker 1: in our minds that we could have been playing at
12:30
Speaker 1: the whole time. So now that we actually did it
12:32
Speaker 1: for four full quarters consistently every play, uh, you know,
12:37
Speaker 1: that's just the standard that we you know that we
12:38
Speaker 1: have set for ourselves. Now, so I standard for us,
12:41
Speaker 1: and we're gonna go out there and stop this running.
12:43
Speaker 1: Do we do best? Another part of the defensive effort
12:46
Speaker 1: last week, safety Rudy Ford, who moved up to play nickel,
12:50
Speaker 1: primarily a special teams player, throughout his career with Arizona,
12:53
Speaker 1: Philly and now Jacksonville. Ford made only his third career
12:57
Speaker 1: start on defense last week, and he had a career
13:00
Speaker 1: game seven tackles, an interception, and three passes defense. He
13:04
Speaker 1: joined the Crown Royal Water Break this week to discuss
13:07
Speaker 1: his opportunity. They moved you to Nickel. I think for
13:10
Speaker 1: the first time you've been having having the last few
13:12
Speaker 1: weeks out on defense, a little bit more as the
13:14
Speaker 1: weeks have gone along, but there here you are at Nickel.
13:17
Speaker 1: It takes a different kind of physicality. What kind of
13:19
Speaker 1: different mindset is that position? It's uh, it's it's very
13:23
Speaker 1: like uh, I mean, it's just like corner, corner and
13:25
Speaker 1: lineback of hybrid um. You know, I want to be
13:27
Speaker 1: a physical also in the run game and also be
13:30
Speaker 1: able to cover like a corner. You're still playing special
13:32
Speaker 1: teams as well. You're starting at Nickel last week, and
13:35
Speaker 1: then you go down the field and make a special
13:37
Speaker 1: teams tackle as well. The balance of doing both. What
13:41
Speaker 1: kind of workload is that for you? Um, it's a
13:46
Speaker 1: real workload. Um, you know, but I always gotta, you know,
13:49
Speaker 1: just continue to keep my keep my body up prepared.
13:52
Speaker 1: You know, make sure I get out the meetness work, um,
13:55
Speaker 1: just so I can keep going. Irwin Meyer said you're
13:57
Speaker 1: the best coverage player he's seen on special team. So
14:00
Speaker 1: I think you've bet college and pro. That's saying something.
14:03
Speaker 1: So when you're lining up to cover a kick down
14:05
Speaker 1: the field, what's going through your mind? When the when
14:08
Speaker 1: the ball stepped my mind? My mindset to be, Um,
14:11
Speaker 1: I just wanna make sure I beat the guy right
14:13
Speaker 1: in front of me. Um. If it's too then make
14:16
Speaker 1: sure you know, I put myself in a position to
14:19
Speaker 1: beat to beat the guy right in front of me. Um.
14:22
Speaker 1: That's kind of my mindset, you know. I mean, it's
14:24
Speaker 1: not really that much to it. You know, it's like, uh,
14:27
Speaker 1: you know who who's gonna you know, we're working our
14:30
Speaker 1: craft against each other, and you know who's who's craft
14:33
Speaker 1: is gonna be a little bit better. Rudy is your
14:35
Speaker 1: third team in the National Football League. Of course, you
14:37
Speaker 1: signed here in the off season. Your your path to
14:40
Speaker 1: this point is this, you know, considering the defensive play
14:45
Speaker 1: of last week and what could be ahead for you,
14:47
Speaker 1: is this kind of your big breakout moment? Do you
14:49
Speaker 1: see it that way? And and how do you take
14:51
Speaker 1: advantage of this opportunity moving ahead. Personally, I'm just gonna
14:53
Speaker 1: take advantage of every opportunity I get, and um, you know,
14:56
Speaker 1: I just want to keep building, you know, I just
14:58
Speaker 1: want to keep building and keep s gowing I can do.
15:00
Speaker 1: They helped his team help with this organization, and uh,
15:02
Speaker 1: you know, I'm thinking for coach Evan Meyer, and also
15:05
Speaker 1: thank for Joe Color and also I think for my
15:07
Speaker 1: position coaches and my teammates, you know, just continued trusting
15:10
Speaker 1: me to go out and help help this organization. Another
15:13
Speaker 1: standout defensive lineman to one Smoot, three tackles, a sack,
15:17
Speaker 1: two quarterback hits and a forced fumble from Smooth and
15:20
Speaker 1: he joined John Ozan on the Ozone podcast this week.
15:23
Speaker 1: It's his fifth season with the Jags, and he's breaking
15:26
Speaker 1: out in a big way. I guess I keep on
15:28
Speaker 1: having you on because your story is so fascinating. You
15:32
Speaker 1: were a guy that a lot of people I think
15:34
Speaker 1: had understandably written off a few years back and just
15:38
Speaker 1: kept working at it. Has that been the key? I
15:40
Speaker 1: know you're not surprised with it, but are you aware
15:43
Speaker 1: of how unusual your journey is in this league? I'm
15:46
Speaker 1: definitely aware of it. I know, I really didn't come
15:48
Speaker 1: on until later on in my career. You know I didn't.
15:50
Speaker 1: I didn't have their career expected as well either, But
15:53
Speaker 1: I just kept kept my head down, just kept working
15:55
Speaker 1: as hard as I could in the offseason, just thinking
15:57
Speaker 1: that one of these times and won't have a chance,
15:58
Speaker 1: and hey opened up for me in these past couple
16:01
Speaker 1: of years and I've been able to take advantage of
16:03
Speaker 1: my opportunities. Do you appreciate it more? Do you think? Um? Yeah, definitely.
16:09
Speaker 1: I mean I worked literally from being forth string, working
16:12
Speaker 1: my way all the way up through scout scene for
16:13
Speaker 1: about three years, So I mean I definitely appreciate and
16:17
Speaker 1: like once I'm here, like I don't, I don't look
16:18
Speaker 1: myself as losing it, like losing it anytime soon, for sure?
16:22
Speaker 1: Are you still it certainly seems this way. Are you
16:25
Speaker 1: still ascending? Do you still feel like you're getting better
16:28
Speaker 1: each week? I mean, your results are showing it up,
16:30
Speaker 1: but are you feeling that? Oh? Definitely, definitely. I'm getting
16:33
Speaker 1: stronger each week. My hand placement is bet getting better
16:35
Speaker 1: each week, my eyes are better. I just feel like
16:38
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm becoming a better player each week. For sure,
16:41
Speaker 1: take me through that a little bit. One of the
16:42
Speaker 1: things that was fascinating to me when I first started
16:44
Speaker 1: covering this league a long time ago talking to defensive ends.
16:48
Speaker 1: I had always assumed the defensive end was about talent,
16:51
Speaker 1: and I get that it is. You can't do your
16:53
Speaker 1: job without talent, but it's much more about your technique,
16:57
Speaker 1: your hands. Uh, that's something that you're not born with.
17:02
Speaker 1: Most great pass rushers aren't born right right. I mean
17:06
Speaker 1: that most of the most of them kind of you know,
17:08
Speaker 1: they work, you know, they they you kind of mode
17:11
Speaker 1: yourself into it. And like that. I thought I was
17:14
Speaker 1: going to be like a natural pass rusher coming out
17:15
Speaker 1: of college. I was fastening everybody. But when I got
17:17
Speaker 1: into the league, everybody's fast. So you kind of got
17:21
Speaker 1: to just take a step back and find out the
17:23
Speaker 1: things that you know are not as good, uh, in
17:25
Speaker 1: your game, and kind of perfect those things. And that's
17:27
Speaker 1: what I did. Found a signature move which is the
17:29
Speaker 1: cross shot for me, and being able to find different
17:32
Speaker 1: counters to work off of that and be able to
17:33
Speaker 1: you know, just just hone in on my technique and
17:36
Speaker 1: it's been working for me for sure. Your's own podcast

Speaker 1: checking out the Official Jags Podcast Network. It's free on Apple,
18:40
Speaker 1: iTunes or Spotify or wherever you download your pods. We
18:43
Speaker 1: have a busy schedule all week long. Give us that
18:46
Speaker 1: five star rating. The Jags offenses struggled to score this season.
18:50
Speaker 1: Of course, they've struggled to find big plays as well.
18:53
Speaker 1: They have only twelve passes of twenty five yards or
18:56
Speaker 1: more this season. That's near the bottom of the NFL
18:59
Speaker 1: offensive court. Nader Darryl Bevil explained Thursday, both of those
19:03
Speaker 1: two things are really critical factors. You have to be
19:05
Speaker 1: able to convert their downstay on the field, and to
19:08
Speaker 1: you know, to think that you're gonna go ten twelve
19:10
Speaker 1: plays against all these NFL defenses is you know, it's
19:13
Speaker 1: hard to hang your hat on that, right And so
19:16
Speaker 1: we need to be able to find those exposed to play,
19:18
Speaker 1: something we talk about all the time and something that
19:21
Speaker 1: we're continuing to look for. And you know, we're just
19:23
Speaker 1: going to continue work in both those areas. Quarterback Trevor
19:26
Speaker 1: Lawrence knows they have to keep trying it downfield. You
19:29
Speaker 1: gotta start finding some and that's like I said, that's
19:32
Speaker 1: that's me taking them when we have them, hitting them
19:35
Speaker 1: when we have them, you know, like I said, towards
19:36
Speaker 1: you know, down the stretch, we had to plays um
19:39
Speaker 1: specifically where I easily could have hit. Those would have
19:41
Speaker 1: been one probably would have been touchdown. The other one
19:43
Speaker 1: we probably would have been a thirty yard game to
19:45
Speaker 1: act on the sideline. So both of those those are
19:48
Speaker 1: two opportunities. And then yeah, like I said, I think
19:50
Speaker 1: when you're more efficient on first and second down and
19:52
Speaker 1: you run the ball like we did last week, if
19:54
Speaker 1: you can combine all those things, then that sets up
19:57
Speaker 1: some some opportunities for some shots because teams have to
20:00
Speaker 1: respect the run. The way we've the way of randomall
20:02
Speaker 1: this year, we've been really efficient and um, but I
20:04
Speaker 1: think it's more more so this is getting ahead of
20:06
Speaker 1: the chains. Head coach Urban Meyers said they might have
20:09
Speaker 1: to find different ways to manufacture explosive plays, both through
20:13
Speaker 1: the air and on the ground. Yeah. I think who
20:15
Speaker 1: you give the ball to, who you hand the ball too,
20:17
Speaker 1: you flip the ball to, you know, lags the guy
20:19
Speaker 1: that every time he touches in so Zovisca. So we
20:21
Speaker 1: gotta be smart. Those guys are kind of big play guys,
20:24
Speaker 1: maybe not so much out at the one position, maybe
20:27
Speaker 1: other positions. And I mean I believe Dan Arnold has
20:30
Speaker 1: big play attention. And I don't believe her utilizing him
20:33
Speaker 1: enough yet. All the press conferences from the week available
20:35
Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot com. Let's move to the Jaguars matchup
20:38
Speaker 1: against the Indianapolis Colts, and most everyone outside the Jags
20:42
Speaker 1: office has predicted a Bill's win over the Jags last week,
20:45
Speaker 1: and most everyone this week is picking the Colts. On
20:48
Speaker 1: huddle up with Bucky Brooks, Bucky John Oshan and I
20:51
Speaker 1: got into what a winning result in Indy could do
20:54
Speaker 1: for the Jags and the Jags head coach. Now, this
20:58
Speaker 1: is a huge game for the Colts. They believe winning
21:01
Speaker 1: Sunday gets them back in that hunt. It keeps them
21:03
Speaker 1: on the graphic on the end the hunt. You know
21:05
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. You like that graphics. So they believe
21:09
Speaker 1: they can get back into it with a when that
21:13
Speaker 1: they believe they should get. I think it's mammoth for
21:16
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. JP. You in this game all of a sudden,
21:19
Speaker 1: for the first time in a long time around here,
21:22
Speaker 1: you have back to back beaten teams that believe in themselves.
21:27
Speaker 1: You've heard me talk over the years, teams that believe
21:30
Speaker 1: they're in it, that are playing for something. It's a
21:32
Speaker 1: different thing Jaguars haven't beaten two of those kind of
21:36
Speaker 1: teams in a row, back to back weeks, maybe since seventeen.
21:40
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm missing one, but that's a huge thing for
21:42
Speaker 1: a team that down the hall believes that they're improving.
21:45
Speaker 1: They have a chance this weekend to improve it against
21:47
Speaker 1: what I think is a pretty good team. Yeah, Joah,
21:49
Speaker 1: let me let me step in. Not only that you
21:51
Speaker 1: talk about the team doing it. I believe this is
21:54
Speaker 1: one of the biggest games of Urban Mars young career
21:56
Speaker 1: as an NFL coach. Okay, because you go through the
21:59
Speaker 1: little turmoil, litle bit over for about three or four weeks,
22:02
Speaker 1: but you beat the Buffalo Bills. If you come back
22:04
Speaker 1: and followed that up with the Indianapolis Colts with the win,
22:07
Speaker 1: now you have all ears and attention in the locker
22:10
Speaker 1: room and all of that stuff that we talked about
22:12
Speaker 1: that goes out the door because now it appears that
22:14
Speaker 1: the formerly in the recipe that he talked about all offseason,
22:17
Speaker 1: it appears that it's working. And so if you're Urban
22:20
Speaker 1: minding the coaching staff, you understand that this is a
22:23
Speaker 1: huge game because what it does is it recessed the
22:26
Speaker 1: program and it gives you a little more credibility in
22:29
Speaker 1: terms of what you were preaching, the philosophies and the
22:33
Speaker 1: processes that you were selling the players. That's why this
22:37
Speaker 1: is a huge one because of the players sense that
22:39
Speaker 1: a coach Meyer has a plan and the plan is working. Oh,
22:42
Speaker 1: then you have an opportunity to really go to the
22:44
Speaker 1: next level when it comes to the development of the program.
22:47
Speaker 1: Excellent point there. And of course after this week, the
22:50
Speaker 1: Jags are home for the next two weeks, San Francisco
22:52
Speaker 1: coming all the way for a one o'clock Eastern time game.
22:56
Speaker 1: It's a ten am body clock for them, and then
22:58
Speaker 1: the Falcons are here the week after that, so yeah,
23:01
Speaker 1: things would be a little bit different. Huddle up with
23:02
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks Airs Wednesday at four thirty on Jaguars social media.
23:06
Speaker 1: Now to defending the Colts running game. Jonathan Taylor leads
23:10
Speaker 1: the way out of the Indie backfield. He is first
23:12
Speaker 1: in the league in scrimmage yards total, second in the
23:15
Speaker 1: league in rushing yards, and with a decent day, he
23:18
Speaker 1: could overtake Derrick Henry for the league lead in rushing
23:22
Speaker 1: this season. Of course, he ran for two hundred fifty
23:24
Speaker 1: three yards on this Jaguars defense Week seven team last season,
23:28
Speaker 1: and that caught linebacker Miles Jack's attention. That's the cool part,
23:32
Speaker 1: you know. I remember playing Jonathan Taylor last year and
23:34
Speaker 1: I remember walking away from both games being like, that
23:36
Speaker 1: kid is gonna be a star, and obviously he is.
23:39
Speaker 1: Um I don't think people realize how fast he is,
23:41
Speaker 1: like how fast he can get the top speed and everything.
23:44
Speaker 1: So it's a fun game. It's really kind of a
23:46
Speaker 1: game I live for. You know, a great offensive line.
23:49
Speaker 1: They've got hymes that will come out in the backfield,
23:51
Speaker 1: so I'll get to cover that as well. So it's
23:53
Speaker 1: a full day I'm looking forward to. And that's a
23:55
Speaker 1: great team. Their strength is the run. Our strength is
23:58
Speaker 1: the run defense. I think it should be a fun
24:00
Speaker 1: you know, comparison as the Who's Who. The audio courtesy
24:03
Speaker 1: of First Coast News. It's a similar tone from Josh Allen.
24:07
Speaker 1: Great respect for the coach ground game. He's just explosive,
24:10
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like he breaks tackles, he's
24:12
Speaker 1: in and out of backs, and he could cass the
24:15
Speaker 1: ball well, so you know, he's a he's a great
24:18
Speaker 1: physical running back and it's a good challenge this week.
24:20
Speaker 1: Uh we have been statistically good against the run, and
24:24
Speaker 1: that's you know, we're hoping to keep that trying going
24:26
Speaker 1: and we have all faith that we will. And you know,
24:30
Speaker 1: for us, we have to stop the run, you know
24:32
Speaker 1: what I'm saying first if we want to have any
24:34
Speaker 1: success in the back end or just rushing to pasture.
24:36
Speaker 1: So we're getting ready for this challenge. Defensive coordinator Joe
24:39
Speaker 1: Cohen understands that it's not just Taylor in the backfield.
24:43
Speaker 1: Taylor's is again, he's a he's a great back, twenty
24:46
Speaker 1: one flying around. They get Comproment Max a great back.
24:49
Speaker 1: I mean, they're all. They're all really good backs. He's
24:51
Speaker 1: been a pro bowler. Taylor is a guy that can
24:53
Speaker 1: take it to the house on any snap and he's
24:55
Speaker 1: a powerful back. So we got a gang tackle. We
24:57
Speaker 1: gotta get a lot of hats on the ball. And
24:59
Speaker 1: you know, they're similar in some ways, but Tennessee is
25:01
Speaker 1: more of a stretch right, stretch left, lead right, lead left.
25:04
Speaker 1: These guys are a little bit more downhill double teams.
25:08
Speaker 1: They got a really good offensive line. Coach right has
25:10
Speaker 1: always been done a great job with the play action
25:13
Speaker 1: pass off the run. So we got our handsful we
25:15
Speaker 1: moved down to the big question mark for the week
25:17
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars offense the status of running back James Robinson.
25:22
Speaker 1: He injured a heel in the Seattle game a couple
25:24
Speaker 1: of weeks back. He tried to give it a go
25:26
Speaker 1: before last week's game against Buffalo, but was unable to
25:29
Speaker 1: play this week. Robinson explained how he injured the heel
25:32
Speaker 1: in the first place and the process of trying to
25:35
Speaker 1: get back to So I got pushed and then I
25:39
Speaker 1: went heel to toe, but stepped really hard on my
25:42
Speaker 1: heel and then I kind of hyper extended my knee
25:43
Speaker 1: a little bit. I was walking back to the huddle
25:45
Speaker 1: and I felt it as something to feel right, So
25:47
Speaker 1: I just went out. Last week I went, I tried
25:49
Speaker 1: to go a little bit, but um, today was kind
25:52
Speaker 1: of like my first real practice. I felt a little
25:53
Speaker 1: bit better. I still feel a little bit, but I'm
25:55
Speaker 1: got to go in training room right now. So yeah,
25:57
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to go out there and
25:59
Speaker 1: be thinking about my yo, so I want to be
26:01
Speaker 1: on the audio courtesy of First Coast News. And Finally,
26:05
Speaker 1: Friday head coach Urban Meyer addressed the media before practice,
26:08
Speaker 1: his standard time each Friday and gave the latest. Don
26:11
Speaker 1: Robinson headed into the final practice day, plus what a
26:14
Speaker 1: win would mean for the Jags organization. James Robinson, what's yours?
26:20
Speaker 1: Today's an important day? Be like last week where you
26:24
Speaker 1: going to test him on Sunday to see if he's
26:25
Speaker 1: gonna be able to go. I hope, I hope today's
26:27
Speaker 1: a good day tomorrow. What's that twelve players? I think
26:34
Speaker 1: if he plays it would would he be like or
26:38
Speaker 1: would it be where it's a situation where you would
26:40
Speaker 1: mix it Carlos had maybe a little bit. We're gonna
26:42
Speaker 1: mix in Carlos for sure. I know you don't forecast,
26:45
Speaker 1: but what would it mean that it's got a winning street?
26:48
Speaker 1: We had this team, this had had one in the years.
26:51
Speaker 1: This um two nine teams. I just think it's momentum,
26:54
Speaker 1: you know, and I learned this. I think it was
26:56
Speaker 1: Lou Hole shared with me when I was a younger coach.
26:58
Speaker 1: Momentum with a young teams worth fourteen points a game,
27:02
Speaker 1: you know, momentum with the mature team. This is at
27:05
Speaker 1: the college level. You know, I'm still learning the pro
27:08
Speaker 1: pro level, but it's worth seven points with a veteran team.
27:12
Speaker 1: So you know, what would mean for Jackson or would
27:14
Speaker 1: it mean for our stadium the following week? And most important,
27:18
Speaker 1: would it mean for a locker room that you know
27:21
Speaker 1: three fourths of those guys were part of a twenty
27:23
Speaker 1: game loose streak. I mean to be incredible, and we
27:26
Speaker 1: don't talk much about that. I think it's more just
27:28
Speaker 1: the respect we have for our opponent. And you know,
27:32
Speaker 1: the best version of us is pretty good. The bad
27:35
Speaker 1: version of us is really bad. And then there's a
27:38
Speaker 1: big but that's you saw the game last night. You know,
27:41
Speaker 1: I've always heard this about the NFL, Now that I
27:43
Speaker 1: live in it. You know, they're all professional athletes and
27:47
Speaker 1: anybody any day, any week. And the Dolphins played you know,
27:51
Speaker 1: I fell asleep in the second half, but when they
27:53
Speaker 1: played fantastic. That defense was zero coverage the whole night.
27:57
Speaker 1: Good defense. You'd like what you see this week from
28:00
Speaker 1: you guys. Good energy there. You know, we're kind of
28:05
Speaker 1: backing off a little bit. You change your schedule for him,
28:08
Speaker 1: so there's a more time we're done at four instead
28:10
Speaker 1: of done at five and doing some other things this
28:12
Speaker 1: time of year. The Jags haven't won in Indianapolis since
28:16
Speaker 1: seen a game they shut out the Colts twenty seven. Nothing,
28:19
Speaker 1: that's a long time ago. Now, the home team has
28:22
Speaker 1: won the last seven meetings in this series, and the
28:24
Speaker 1: Jags will try to reverse that trend this Sunday. And
28:27
Speaker 1: coming up Sunday, it's the Public Salegate Show. It's a
28:30
Speaker 1: ten o'clock start on Tin Tin XL radio and Jacksonville
28:33
Speaker 1: and the Jaguars social channels. Well again here from CBS
28:36
Speaker 1: sports play by play announcer Andrew Cantalani as the game
28:39
Speaker 1: for the second straight week and much more in store.
28:42
Speaker 1: Then at noon, it's countdown to kickoff on the Jaguars
28:44
Speaker 1: Radio Network. Pete Prisco, the guys in the booth, Fred Taylor,
28:47
Speaker 1: and we'll have the final word before kickoff with head
28:50
Speaker 1: coach Urban Meyer. After the game, join us for Jaguars
