0:02
Speaker 1: It's Tuesday, December seven. This is Jaguars Happy Hour. And
0:11
Speaker 1: now the tenor in a Yoko Loo tabernacle choir. Okay,
0:17
Speaker 1: p wow, how about that one man? Welcome in. It's
0:22
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour on a Tuesday afternoon. J P. Shadrick
0:26
Speaker 1: and a busy show ahead, busy two hours coming up. Well,
0:32
Speaker 1: Jaguars analyst Jeff Laghman is right around the corner, as
0:35
Speaker 1: he is every Tuesday. We'll recap week thirteen for one
0:38
Speaker 1: final time, thank goodness, thirty seven seven, the Rams over
0:42
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. We'll look ahead the week fourteen. The Jaguars
0:46
Speaker 1: visit the Tennessee Titans, and they'll visit a stadium where
0:49
Speaker 1: they haven't won since the first year of President Obama's
0:55
Speaker 1: second term in office, a long time ago. The Urban
0:59
Speaker 1: Meyers Show coming up at five o'clock. That's on the
1:01
Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio Network. We're here from head coach Urban Meyer,
1:04
Speaker 1: and we'll get his thoughts on the running back room.
1:08
Speaker 1: That's coming up at five o'clock. That's been the talk
1:10
Speaker 1: of the town the last couple of days. Jeff log
1:12
Speaker 1: have been joining us. Now, what's up, man, It's all good.
1:15
Speaker 1: You're back both we're both back. We're both back, we're
1:18
Speaker 1: both kind of away. It was a distancing, a close
1:22
Speaker 1: contact thing. Neither one of us were positive, which is
1:26
Speaker 1: great news. So we're back in the building and yesterday today, Yeah,
1:29
Speaker 1: we we we had to stay away for five days
1:32
Speaker 1: and then at that point then we had to have
1:34
Speaker 1: a negative test to return to work because of our
1:38
Speaker 1: proximity to somebody who had tested positive. So, uh, it
1:42
Speaker 1: is what it is. But the first game that I
1:44
Speaker 1: haven't broadcast since two thousand and two, how how strange
1:48
Speaker 1: was it to be sitting in your living room again.
1:51
Speaker 1: I had I can tell you I had. I had
1:53
Speaker 1: all I had all my stuff laid out like I
1:55
Speaker 1: would for a game broadcast. Still kept all my notes,
1:58
Speaker 1: you know, and had my board and all that kind
1:59
Speaker 1: of stuff, and and uh, it wasn't very fun, JP.
2:04
Speaker 1: And it wasn't so much fun just because I was
2:06
Speaker 1: in my own living room, but because the Jaguars didn't
2:09
Speaker 1: play well, and when the Rams came out and they
2:13
Speaker 1: scored on I think seven out of their first nine possessions,
2:17
Speaker 1: that's a little bit troublesome. I mean, seriously, I mean
2:21
Speaker 1: seven out of the first nine possessions the Rams scored
2:24
Speaker 1: on and and the Jaguars were able to have an
2:27
Speaker 1: opportunity there at first because things started to go bad
2:31
Speaker 1: and then you're like, oh my gosh. And then all
2:33
Speaker 1: of a sudden they scored a touchdown. Put an ice
2:36
Speaker 1: drive together, not any kind of big plays or anything
2:39
Speaker 1: magical on that drive. It was just you know, kind
2:42
Speaker 1: of a little bit here, a little bit there. And
2:44
Speaker 1: then they scored touchdown is ten seven, and then they
2:47
Speaker 1: have two great opportunities with field position. The first one
2:51
Speaker 1: I think they were at the forty and then the
2:53
Speaker 1: next one there at the minus forty nine, so minus
2:55
Speaker 1: forty minus forty nine. And typically when you get in
2:58
Speaker 1: those type of ranges, the percentages of you scoring are
3:01
Speaker 1: extremely high, and they didn't, and so you could have
3:06
Speaker 1: should have had a situation there to where you're going
3:10
Speaker 1: at the half with the lead or at least you know,
3:13
Speaker 1: being close, but instead you go in and a half
3:16
Speaker 1: down what seventeen or seven six six, And then the
3:23
Speaker 1: ramps came out in second half of the he said,
3:25
Speaker 1: all right, touch down, touchdown, Yeah, another touch touchdown to
3:31
Speaker 1: the big three receivers that we had talked about all
3:33
Speaker 1: week long. So of course, as you mentioned, their Jack's
3:36
Speaker 1: got in an early hole, fought back, didn't have enough.
3:39
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer after the game, looking for some confidence around
3:43
Speaker 1: his football team. I wish I had all the answers,
3:46
Speaker 1: and I'd give them to you. I don't know the
3:48
Speaker 1: answers other than I know this that you're gonna keep
3:50
Speaker 1: swinging and keep working together. Is there a confidence issue?
3:55
Speaker 1: Anytime you're you're not successful with something, that's something we've
3:58
Speaker 1: gotta fight through. Confidence is a result of success, and
4:03
Speaker 1: right now we're struggling with that. Yeah, offense not moving
4:05
Speaker 1: the ball under two hundred yards total in the game,
4:08
Speaker 1: one seven sixty one rushing yards. That's not what this offense.
4:13
Speaker 1: That's the problem right there, JP sixty one rushing yards
4:16
Speaker 1: not not even close to it. Okay, when when you
4:18
Speaker 1: go back and you think of the beginning of the
4:21
Speaker 1: year and some of the conversation about what the foundation
4:25
Speaker 1: of this offense would be, do you remember what what
4:28
Speaker 1: they talked about. I mean, you brought the offensive line
4:31
Speaker 1: back for reasons. You've got Lender back. Okay, so now
4:37
Speaker 1: you're essentially only missing one component, which is a J cannon.
4:41
Speaker 1: Barts has been doing a pretty solid job at the
4:44
Speaker 1: right guard position and you're not able to get back
4:47
Speaker 1: to the core of your beliefs, which is keeping the
4:50
Speaker 1: pressure offer what should be the core of your beliefs,
4:53
Speaker 1: which is running the football, keeping the pressure off of
4:56
Speaker 1: a young quarterback and running your best running back. And
5:00
Speaker 1: James Robinson, well, James fumbles early in this ball game
5:04
Speaker 1: and then and then gets pulled for a long stretch
5:09
Speaker 1: of the game, which is a big question in and
5:12
Speaker 1: of itself why he got pulled. I mean, I understand
5:15
Speaker 1: when a player fumbles the ball that just like when
5:19
Speaker 1: a defensive lineman has it all sides. When a a
5:22
Speaker 1: player has a a personal foul, maybe a taunting call
5:26
Speaker 1: or something, okay, you take him out of the game
5:28
Speaker 1: for a play, maybe two. But to have a high
5:31
Speaker 1: quality player and arguably your best offensive player, to go
5:35
Speaker 1: to the sideline and not see it again for for
5:37
Speaker 1: a long period of time, that was very curious. And
5:41
Speaker 1: then when Carlos Hide fumbles later in the game, he's
5:44
Speaker 1: taken out for just a shorter period of time. Just
5:47
Speaker 1: it was I was confused. I'm not I'm not sure
5:50
Speaker 1: how to understand or interpret that. He didn't touch the
5:52
Speaker 1: ball again until the third quarter. I mean, he was
5:54
Speaker 1: back in he missed three the next three drives and
5:56
Speaker 1: then was back in. They ran some play action, didn't
5:59
Speaker 1: touch the ball, and then all of a sudden was
6:01
Speaker 1: the end of the half, and then here he is
6:04
Speaker 1: in the third quarter and then in garbage time at
6:06
Speaker 1: the end, with only a couple of minutes left, he's
6:08
Speaker 1: back in the game, which he should have been in
6:09
Speaker 1: at that point. I mean, I mean, as soon as
6:12
Speaker 1: you got to the point where you're down a significant
6:15
Speaker 1: amount and then he has not touched the field, the
6:19
Speaker 1: game's over. So if you're if you're trying to get
6:24
Speaker 1: your best offensive player, which is what James Robinson is,
6:28
Speaker 1: if you're trying to get your best offensive player healthy,
6:31
Speaker 1: that was a great opportunity to not expose him to
6:35
Speaker 1: further injury. But he goes in at the end of
6:38
Speaker 1: the game of garbage time. I'm not quite sure. Again,
6:42
Speaker 1: I don't understand that. And uh and you know, look,
6:45
Speaker 1: we we we heard what Urban said yesterday that that's
6:49
Speaker 1: you know, running backs coach. He doesn't micromanage, you know,
6:52
Speaker 1: it's the offensive coordinating thing. And uh, and I think
6:55
Speaker 1: that as a as a head coach, I mean, you've
6:57
Speaker 1: got to be aware of everything and you've got to
7:00
Speaker 1: and you have input on everything, because I can tell
7:03
Speaker 1: you this, the head coach wants to give his team
7:07
Speaker 1: the best chance at success, and I think the best
7:11
Speaker 1: chance of success for this offense is through James Robinson.
7:16
Speaker 1: And I think if you want to argue that, I'll
7:19
Speaker 1: argue with that all day long, because I don't think
7:21
Speaker 1: there's another answer to having success as an offense. Well,
7:26
Speaker 1: the clip that's going around on social media came off
7:29
Speaker 1: a television show on our television partner, Action Sports, Jack's
7:33
Speaker 1: Last Night. James Robinson joins the crew Dan Hicken and
7:36
Speaker 1: Brent Martineau each and every Monday, and they asked if
7:40
Speaker 1: he felt like he was benched in the game. All Right, man,
7:42
Speaker 1: it's the elephant in the room. Uh. I actually this
7:45
Speaker 1: last week, sixteen plays after the phone. Well, obviously you
7:48
Speaker 1: don't want to fumble, and especially in consecutive games, but
7:50
Speaker 1: then twenty plays on the sideline. I mean this time,
7:53
Speaker 1: did you feel like you got benched? Uh? I would
7:57
Speaker 1: say so. I mean, obviously, like I said last week,
8:00
Speaker 1: I mean, it can't happen. But I mean when you're
8:04
Speaker 1: when it happens, and then you're out for that long,
8:06
Speaker 1: it's just kind of like you gotta feel that way.
8:10
Speaker 1: I mean, but I was just waiting my chance to
8:12
Speaker 1: go back in the game and didn't really come to
8:14
Speaker 1: the third quarter. So so that's James Robinson last night.
8:18
Speaker 1: That's his normal appearance on that television show on Action
8:21
Speaker 1: Sports Jack's and we thank them for the audio and
8:24
Speaker 1: video there. You know, James is in a second year.
8:28
Speaker 1: He was an undrafted player last season, had a great
8:31
Speaker 1: rookie campaign coming back. He's seems like a modest and
8:35
Speaker 1: humble player. So you know, as a modest and humble player,
8:39
Speaker 1: you're gonna go in when the coach tells you to
8:41
Speaker 1: go in, right, Yeah, You're not gonna You're not gonna
8:43
Speaker 1: stir anything. That's that's the idea. But that's He was
8:46
Speaker 1: asked the question and answered the question how He answered, well,
8:49
Speaker 1: you know, I'm curious what Meyer has to say tonight
8:52
Speaker 1: and the ober Meyer Show about this, and I'm sure
8:55
Speaker 1: they'd like to, you know, put it behind everybody and
8:58
Speaker 1: move on games. And is the top it's a topic
9:01
Speaker 1: right now, and it's and it shouldn't be and and
9:04
Speaker 1: it shouldn't be from the from the standpoint of first
9:07
Speaker 1: of all, let me let me see this. I think
9:08
Speaker 1: James Robinson handled the questions in a very professional way.
9:14
Speaker 1: Uh you know, James wasn't mad, he didn't uh lash
9:20
Speaker 1: out or anything of that nature. I think he honored
9:23
Speaker 1: in a very honest way. And you could tell that
9:27
Speaker 1: he's bothered by it because the game is important to
9:30
Speaker 1: him and James is one of the most highly respected
9:34
Speaker 1: players in the locker room. And whether or not there
9:37
Speaker 1: was an intended punishment or not, by taking James out
9:41
Speaker 1: of the ball game for that period of time, perception
9:45
Speaker 1: becomes reality JP in that situation. So the perception of
9:50
Speaker 1: the rest of the locker room is is that James
9:52
Speaker 1: is getting punished. But he's our best player. Why are
9:55
Speaker 1: we punishing him? Some of the players might say, when
9:58
Speaker 1: Aaron Donald, who is one of the strongest guys in
10:00
Speaker 1: the National Football League just pulled that ball out, that
10:03
Speaker 1: can happen because that guy is really good. Okay, So
10:08
Speaker 1: you have to be careful in this situation because if
10:13
Speaker 1: you are, and this perception can be reality. Now, if
10:17
Speaker 1: you are perceived as mistreating a high character, high quality
10:22
Speaker 1: guy in your locker room, the effect that it would
10:25
Speaker 1: have not on that player, but the effect that it
10:27
Speaker 1: would have on the rest of the locker room is
10:30
Speaker 1: the thing that you have to worry about the most,
10:33
Speaker 1: and that's important. So whatever happens going forward, that needs
10:39
Speaker 1: to be straightened out. Because James Robinson is a highly
10:44
Speaker 1: respected player in the locker room and he is a
10:47
Speaker 1: team guy first, make no mistake about it. So I
10:51
Speaker 1: don't know exactly what's gonna happen, but I just hope
10:53
Speaker 1: that that that all gets worked out because we've seen
10:58
Speaker 1: in the past here in Jacksonville that we're we've seen
11:01
Speaker 1: good players leave, yes, so many yes, and James Robinson
11:07
Speaker 1: is a good player. And right now, if I'm James,
11:12
Speaker 1: I'm not feeling the love. I'm not and I'm questioning
11:18
Speaker 1: do I continue to play hurt for a team that's
11:23
Speaker 1: not given me any love? Right? I mean, because you're
11:29
Speaker 1: talking about careers here now, and this guy has still
11:32
Speaker 1: giving you everything he's got. It may not be his
11:34
Speaker 1: hun healthy, but he's given you what he's got and
11:38
Speaker 1: you've got to respect that. And then when you when
11:40
Speaker 1: you take him out and bench him for having a fumble,
11:44
Speaker 1: and then you don't give the same treatment to a
11:46
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide. What's the perception? The perception is reality and
11:52
Speaker 1: you can't do that, you know. And here's the here's
11:54
Speaker 1: the thing. The fumble that James Robinson had with Aaron
12:00
Speaker 1: Donald muscling him and ripping at the ball and pulling him.
12:03
Speaker 1: He spun around twice and finally got it out of there.
12:05
Speaker 1: Which which one is worse? The Carlos Hide fumble where
12:08
Speaker 1: a guy sticks an arm out and the ball pops out,
12:10
Speaker 1: or Aaron Donald, strongest guy in the National Football League
12:14
Speaker 1: spinning there James Robinson around. I mean, the one on
12:20
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide is one you'd go, man, he can cover
12:23
Speaker 1: the ball up man. The one on Aaron Donald's like
12:26
Speaker 1: could mean great player, strong player, and the other part
12:32
Speaker 1: is blocked him. I also the other part of this,
12:38
Speaker 1: who's supposed to block Aaron Donald on the play? JP?
12:41
Speaker 1: Do we take him out of the game and put
12:43
Speaker 1: him on the bench for twenty plays? Easier said than done,
12:47
Speaker 1: I mean, but seriously, if if you if you want
12:49
Speaker 1: to have accountability, then Trevor Lawrence has had ten receptions,
12:56
Speaker 1: four fumbles. Just Trevor get taken out for place, you know.
13:01
Speaker 1: So that's my point is is that you've got to
13:03
Speaker 1: be careful about about how you treat somebody and about
13:07
Speaker 1: and it's not about Okay, is it personal, But the
13:10
Speaker 1: perception becomes reality because people are looking to see how
13:14
Speaker 1: somebody is treated, especially when they're highly respected like James.
13:17
Speaker 1: We've got plenty ahead on Jaguars Happy Hour here until
13:20

14:14
Speaker 1: Tuesday afternoon in J P. Shadrick with Jeff Lagerman, Daved Candice,
14:19
Speaker 1: Brent Reaverer on our crew today and the Jaguars will
14:23
Speaker 1: face the Tennessee Titans in Week fourteen. We're recapping this
14:27
Speaker 1: week thirteen loss though for the Jaguars to the Los
14:30
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams, And you know, the Jags defense was on
14:34
Speaker 1: the field a good bit. They the Rams had a
14:37
Speaker 1: ten play field goal drive in the their second field
14:41
Speaker 1: goal of the game. They had another ten play field
14:43
Speaker 1: goal drive that they missed a touchdown throw to Beckham
14:47
Speaker 1: on that drive we had to settle for a field goal,
14:49
Speaker 1: and then in the second half two of the three
14:52
Speaker 1: touchdown drives were ten plays as well. I mean, it's
14:55
Speaker 1: a long time to be on the field and combine
14:58
Speaker 1: that with three and ounce on the other your side,
15:00
Speaker 1: and your defense is running out of petrol if you will. Yeah,
15:05
Speaker 1: But I mean at the same token, you can save
15:08
Speaker 1: some of your own petrol by getting off the field. True.
15:12
Speaker 1: And the concerning trend right now with his defense is
15:18
Speaker 1: that they're starting to regress as far as run defense goes.
15:22
Speaker 1: I mean, that was a Rams team that was not
15:25
Speaker 1: supposed to be that type of running, especially when their
15:28
Speaker 1: lead guy out Exactly they were who is it? Uhson?
15:34
Speaker 1: Well Henderson was active, but he didn't play play and
15:39
Speaker 1: you know which which Henderson Jr. By the way, is
15:43
Speaker 1: one of the top thirteenth rank rusher in the National
15:46
Speaker 1: Football League, So a good player. But the reality is
15:50
Speaker 1: is that the Rams have not been a great run team.
15:53
Speaker 1: So this is kind of very similar to the Atlanta game. Okay,
15:57
Speaker 1: Atlanta going to the game wasn't a great running team
16:01
Speaker 1: and Cordurell Patterson cor Darryl Patterson was out for a
16:04
Speaker 1: little bit. He's coming back, but he's a little nicked
16:06
Speaker 1: up the ankle kind of the thing. And we talked
16:08
Speaker 1: about before that game that the Atlanta Falcons offensive line
16:12
Speaker 1: was not the greatest in the world, that they had
16:14
Speaker 1: a weakness at the center position, we felt, and me
16:16
Speaker 1: and Tony Boselli both felt that that was something that
16:19
Speaker 1: the Jaguars should be able to do well against as
16:22
Speaker 1: that center of the of the Falcons offensive line. Well,
16:26
Speaker 1: fast forward to this game and their center Brian Allen
16:30
Speaker 1: gets hurt early in the game because Myles Jack just
16:32
Speaker 1: jacks him up, he twists his anchor whatever he did.
16:35
Speaker 1: And but I can tell you what it happened on
16:37
Speaker 1: the play that Miles Jack jacked him up. I'm talking
16:40
Speaker 1: stoned dam and so he goes out and they bring
16:44
Speaker 1: in a backup center Coleman Shelton, I believe it was,
16:49
Speaker 1: and so he has to play the rest of the
16:50
Speaker 1: way for the center. So you got a backup center.
16:52
Speaker 1: So okay, So now okay, advantage a little bit more Jaguars, right. Uh.
16:56
Speaker 1: They weren't a great running team before. They're missing their
16:59
Speaker 1: starting center, who's a pretty good player. They're missing the
17:02
Speaker 1: starting running back, and then all of a sudden they
17:05
Speaker 1: rush for hundred as a team by Sony Michelle And
17:12
Speaker 1: so here here's the concerning part. In the last four games,
17:16
Speaker 1: the Jaguars have allowed five hundred and seventy five yards
17:19
Speaker 1: rushing on five carries. That's averaging four point six yards
17:25
Speaker 1: a carry. Do you remember when this team was one
17:30
Speaker 1: of the top five defenses in the league at yards
17:33
Speaker 1: per Russia out they're falling out of that that they're
17:37
Speaker 1: not that and this is well, they haven't been playing
17:41
Speaker 1: well enough. I mean, it's it's offensively and defensively. It's
17:46
Speaker 1: the offense and that they're not giving the defensive break.
17:49
Speaker 1: But then it's also it's the defense taking advantage of
17:52
Speaker 1: their own opportunities. How many how many self inflicted wounds?
17:55
Speaker 1: Did the Jaguars have over the last couple of weeks
17:57
Speaker 1: defensively where they would have gotten off the feet. So
18:01
Speaker 1: I mean as a defense, you can't sit there and
18:03
Speaker 1: point fingers at oh it's the offensive fault. But in
18:06
Speaker 1: the run game in particular, is it the middle of
18:09
Speaker 1: the d line. Is it guys missing gaps from the
18:12
Speaker 1: second it can be or is it different things each time?
18:16
Speaker 1: It's it can it's typically different things each time. For example,
18:20
Speaker 1: in the Atlanta game, you had an opportunity on one
18:22
Speaker 1: play and Devon Hambleton's gets blown out, I mean blown
18:25
Speaker 1: out by that center we thought wasn't very good. And
18:29
Speaker 1: then another one Josh Allen doesn't close the gap. Okay,
18:33
Speaker 1: you have another one Okay, that wingered doesn't make a
18:36
Speaker 1: play when he's essentially being the extra unblocked guy in
18:40
Speaker 1: the box, you know. So it's a it's a shared
18:43
Speaker 1: responsibility type thing. The linebacker Damian Wilson not getting the
18:46
Speaker 1: proper read and filling it in the gap where he's
18:48
Speaker 1: still playing pass this past game against the Rams. I mean,
18:52
Speaker 1: it's it's never one thing, unfortunately, because if it was,
18:56
Speaker 1: you would just replace that component and then try to
18:58
Speaker 1: get better with that one came oponent and you move on.
19:01
Speaker 1: But that's why you're not seeing wholesale changes with the defense.
19:05
Speaker 1: It's sometimes it's one of those things that it kind
19:06
Speaker 1: of rotates, jp it's your fault, and then okay, it's
19:09
Speaker 1: Dave over there behind our control board. Okay, then it's
19:11
Speaker 1: my fault the next time, and it's you remember the
19:13
Speaker 1: game whack a mole up. So that's the disappointing thing
19:20
Speaker 1: that you have so many different components that are taking
19:24
Speaker 1: turns messing up, including the mental factor of stopping the opponent,
19:30
Speaker 1: because when you start to have the self inflicted wounds,
19:33
Speaker 1: then it's hard to have a good performance to compete
19:36
Speaker 1: because it's it's already hard enough to stop good teams.
19:40
Speaker 1: Play action became a factor too. You know the long
19:43
Speaker 1: the long play to Cooper Cup. We're actually gonna look
19:46
Speaker 1: at that and break it down on Jaguars all. Oh yeah,
19:48
Speaker 1: I like that all access. And the reason I bring
19:51
Speaker 1: that up is because you know, if you're allowing these
19:53
Speaker 1: yards rushing over the last X number of games, how
19:57
Speaker 1: many times have we heard coaches here in Jackson will
20:00
Speaker 1: talk about the importance of play action and how it
20:03
Speaker 1: impacts explosive plays. We've heard it all the time, all
20:07
Speaker 1: the time, all the time, and the most explosive play.
20:10
Speaker 1: I think that was the biggest play that the Rams
20:13
Speaker 1: had in that game, wasn't it with the forty three
20:15
Speaker 1: yard or to Cooper Cup. I don't think that there
20:17
Speaker 1: was a longer play in the ball and that was
20:19
Speaker 1: a play action play that they got bit on. And
20:22
Speaker 1: we will break that down on Jaguars All Access on
20:25
Speaker 1: Thursday night. It was second and three from their own
20:28
Speaker 1: twenty two yard which is, okay, what do they do
20:30
Speaker 1: the play before? Do you remember? Find it? Pull it up?
20:34
Speaker 1: Pull it up? Okay, okay. The reason the reason I
20:37
Speaker 1: want you to pull that up. Success on first down
20:40
Speaker 1: translates to what success on first down translates to success
20:45
Speaker 1: on second down, success on third down. So yeah, first
20:49
Speaker 1: and ten from their own fifteen Stafford short passed left
20:52
Speaker 1: to Jefferson for seven yards. So it's second and three
20:55
Speaker 1: from okay, su success on first down and the jack ours.
21:00
Speaker 1: How many second and threes did we see the Jaguars
21:04
Speaker 1: have in the ball game? Oh yeah, I don't know
21:07
Speaker 1: if they. I mean, so, the the importance of staying
21:13
Speaker 1: on schedule, and then the Rams are running the ball successfully,
21:18
Speaker 1: and then the big play was play action and that
21:21
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup shows like he's blocking Rudy Ford's got man
21:25
Speaker 1: coverage and you know you you lose your eyes for
21:28
Speaker 1: just a minute, Okay, and that's all it takes. But
21:32
Speaker 1: if it's not second and free, do the eyes end up?
21:38
Speaker 1: If it's second and eight or seven, you're thinking in
21:41
Speaker 1: your mind past, You're not thinking, oh, I've got to
21:44
Speaker 1: be aware of play action. You're thinking pass all the way.
21:49
Speaker 1: And so that's the difference in the mindset and and
21:52
Speaker 1: this defense right now. And we said this at the
21:55
Speaker 1: beginning of the year, and that won't change. It's the
21:58
Speaker 1: same thing for the offense. For this defense to have success,
22:02
Speaker 1: they have to be dominant against the run to have
22:04
Speaker 1: a better chance against the past, because they still need
22:07
Speaker 1: to find talent to be effective against the past. Offensively,
22:10
Speaker 1: we knew that they would have to be really good
22:12
Speaker 1: to get with the run just to protect a young
22:15
Speaker 1: quarterback who's developing. And right now, at this stage of
22:19
Speaker 1: the season, this football team is not doing either one
22:22
Speaker 1: of them at a decent level. And that's why this
22:25
Speaker 1: team right now is regressing because they're not doing either
22:29
Speaker 1: one of those key components at a at a level
22:32
Speaker 1: that they need to be at. Middle of this season,
22:35
Speaker 1: there was about a four game stretch where Josh Allen
22:38
Speaker 1: had you know, seven tackles one game, seven, the next
22:42
Speaker 1: six with a couple of sacks one game, and then
22:44
Speaker 1: the Josh Allen game where he had the interception and
22:47
Speaker 1: the fumble recovery and all that had a game down
22:51
Speaker 1: was only two tackles. Then Week eleven ten tackles, a
22:54
Speaker 1: career high for him. But the last two weeks he's
22:56
Speaker 1: had three tackles, two tackles um. And you know, after
23:00
Speaker 1: that tin tackle game in week eleven, he thought, okay,
23:02
Speaker 1: hey he could trend towards maybe Pro Bowl level this year.
23:06
Speaker 1: It's his best season in his career atly statistically. Where
23:10
Speaker 1: you know, after these last two weeks, why has he
23:14
Speaker 1: taken maybe a step back defensively? And can he regain
23:17
Speaker 1: that with five games to go? I don't know exactly
23:21
Speaker 1: why that his performance has been quieter. Is that an
23:26
Speaker 1: injury of some kind could be? I don't know. But
23:30
Speaker 1: and here's the thing, he's not gonna tell you one
23:32
Speaker 1: way or the other what it is. And we haven't
23:34
Speaker 1: seen him on the injury report. But as we know,
23:37
Speaker 1: the injury report isn't always accurate because players always have
23:42
Speaker 1: elements and literally, if you had enough, if you were
23:44
Speaker 1: being honest about injury reports, every player in the league
23:49
Speaker 1: would have something on the injury report. Just that's his reality,
23:54
Speaker 1: and he has not played to the Josh Allen level
23:58
Speaker 1: that we we were on. Wow, the forty Niners game
24:01
Speaker 1: and before that, the game against Indianapolis was a really
24:05
Speaker 1: strong game by him. Buffalo game was a tremendous game,
24:10
Speaker 1: and the last two has just been quiet and fact
24:12
Speaker 1: this this past game, watching the game live, I literally
24:18
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, I went, did Josh
24:21
Speaker 1: Allen play? There were two assist tackles? They weren't even
24:24
Speaker 1: so yeah, they weren't. Yeah, And it was not It
24:26
Speaker 1: was not the type of game that we have come
24:29
Speaker 1: to see from Josh Allen this year. But that and
24:32
Speaker 1: like I said, I don't know if he's injured or
24:34
Speaker 1: or if it's something else going on, but that's not
24:36
Speaker 1: not the that's not the level that this defense needs
24:40
Speaker 1: for them to be successful. You know, it'll cheer us
24:43
Speaker 1: up a trip to Nashville, Tennessee. We'll talk about tennis, music,
24:49
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans are there also, and hopefully a little a
24:53
Speaker 1: little rivalry kind of getting back fanning the flames a
24:58
Speaker 1: little bit, get get it going. I mean, look, Tennessee
25:00
Speaker 1: has not been on a roll exactly right. They're still
25:03
Speaker 1: in first place, I know, but they what have they
25:06
Speaker 1: done the last two games? JP, They've they've been off
25:08
Speaker 1: last week and then they okay, alright, l okay, alright,
25:14
Speaker 1: we'll get into their teams. Coming up, what's going on
25:16
Speaker 1: with the Titans? Of course at five o'clock the Urban
25:18
Speaker 1: Meyers Show, head Coach Urban Meyer will join us plenty
25:21
Speaker 1: to discuss, of course, with Coach Meyer coming up at

25:28
Speaker 1: for the m v P of the truck game, look

Speaker 1: the official truck of the NFL and proud partner of

Speaker 1: your Jacksonville Jaguars. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars
25:45
Speaker 1: Digital Network. Welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on a
25:55
Speaker 1: Tuesday afternoon. J p. Shatrick with Jeff Lockman and Jack Wars.
26:00
Speaker 1: Game Day Radio is brought to you by by Start
26:02
Speaker 1: Credit Union, Do Good Bank Better. The Jaguars are two
26:07
Speaker 1: in ten. They're edited Nashville, Tennessee, Music City, USA, this
26:11
Speaker 1: Sunday to face the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium or
26:15
Speaker 1: the banks of the Cumberland River, a place they haven't
26:17
Speaker 1: won since that logs. That game was November of that year.
26:22
Speaker 1: It was the quadfacta game. Will Blackman had the sack,
26:26
Speaker 1: the fumble, force, the fumble recovery, and the touchdown to
26:29
Speaker 1: put the Jags in the extra point put them up nine.
26:32
Speaker 1: Tennessee scored again late to make it a two point
26:34
Speaker 1: game seven Jaguars, but towards the huge play now the
26:39
Speaker 1: quadfect Huge. I'm glad you remember that terminology. That's good
26:43
Speaker 1: JP Steel trap here, Yeah, that's right. Look, Tennessee, if
26:49
Speaker 1: you look at the history of the uh the battle,
26:54
Speaker 1: I guess you could say between these two teams, it's
26:57
Speaker 1: a it's a thorn in the side of the Jaguars
26:59
Speaker 1: or organization going all the way back to the a
27:02
Speaker 1: f C Championship game, which I think I don't want
27:05
Speaker 1: to say it was the beginning of it. But that's
27:07
Speaker 1: the one that I think that hurt the most when
27:09
Speaker 1: this team had a clear path to to the super
27:11
Speaker 1: Bowl and was unable to capitalize on what was a
27:16
Speaker 1: wildly successful season. And then, to add insult to injury,
27:21
Speaker 1: the comments by Jeff Fisher just further inflamed the matter
27:25
Speaker 1: a little bit. And so there's always a little special
27:28
Speaker 1: place I think in the hearts of Jaguars fans for
27:31
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, and it's not a good place in
27:34
Speaker 1: the heart. I can tell you that it's a very
27:35
Speaker 1: dark place, right But the good thing that that this
27:40
Speaker 1: week the Tennessee Titans aren't at full strength, or at
27:45
Speaker 1: least not expected to be at full strength. And even
27:48
Speaker 1: if they had a j Brown and Julio Jones, and
27:51
Speaker 1: the thinking is that the the Titans could get Julio
27:56
Speaker 1: Jones back because he was brought on to the designated
28:01
Speaker 1: to return list, which means that he can practice for
28:04
Speaker 1: up to twenty one days and then could come back
28:06
Speaker 1: at any period of time within this twenty one day
28:09
Speaker 1: period or window that is open. Most teams have a
28:14
Speaker 1: player like that that they'll put him back on the
28:16
Speaker 1: active roster. The very first week, but could he not
28:19
Speaker 1: be ready at the end of one week maybe, and
28:21
Speaker 1: they've got a playoff run to worry about and all
28:24
Speaker 1: that they hope. A. J. Brown is still on injured reserve,
28:26
Speaker 1: so he's not a possibility of coming back this week,
28:29
Speaker 1: so that's good. Derrick Henry is on injured reserve and
28:32
Speaker 1: Mike ray Bowl was asked this week about the timeline
28:35
Speaker 1: for his return and he said he won't be back
28:37
Speaker 1: this week, and that's all I'm wanting to want to share.
28:40
Speaker 1: Which for Jaguar fans and Jaguars the team, that's all
28:43
Speaker 1: that matters to them. He's not coming back this week.
28:47
Speaker 1: So what kind of a team are they? They're not
28:50
Speaker 1: as good of a team as they are when they've
28:52
Speaker 1: got Derrick Henry. Because Derrick Henry is a great player
28:55
Speaker 1: and Tanny Hill is Tanny Hill a guy that can
28:57
Speaker 1: carry a franchise. No, I mean that's kind of been proven,
29:02
Speaker 1: and especially he can't do that when he doesn't have
29:04
Speaker 1: his top two weapons on offense, or what we're expected
29:07
Speaker 1: to be his top two weapons. Julio Jones has never
29:10
Speaker 1: even developed into that. What is his numbers for the year? Yeah,
29:14
Speaker 1: I got him right here. Julio Jones. Okay, and they
29:18
Speaker 1: traded some draft picks to get him twenty one catches.
29:22
Speaker 1: That's not exactly the number that you would expect to
29:25
Speaker 1: see from Julio Jones. But when he's caught the ball,
29:29
Speaker 1: he's averaged sixteen yards to catch. How many touchdowns does
29:32
Speaker 1: he have? Not enough? Zero? So they and they gave
29:39
Speaker 1: up a pretty good penny, I think for Julio Jones.
29:42
Speaker 1: He played six games. Yeah, so, I mean, I look,
29:46
Speaker 1: if if you're the Jaguars, it's not like you're sitting
29:50
Speaker 1: there going, oh no, we got a tough we got
29:53
Speaker 1: a tough one this week. I don't know how we're
29:55
Speaker 1: gonna do it against this Tennessee Titans team, you know,
29:58
Speaker 1: uphill battle, no logs, no JPM. I'm just I'm JP.
30:04
Speaker 1: I'm I'm sorry, but I'm I'm positive. I'm thinking positive,
30:07
Speaker 1: even though this team has struggled offensively and struggle scoring
30:12
Speaker 1: scoring points. Yes, how many points have the Titans scored
30:15
Speaker 1: in the last two games? Not many? Thirteen apiece? Well,
30:21
Speaker 1: that would be enough to beat the Jaguars if the
30:23
Speaker 1: average continues right now, right, You're right. Since the bye week,
30:28
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are averaging just under eleven points per game. Well,
30:32
Speaker 1: it's sixty four points in six games. That's you're just
30:35
Speaker 1: under eleven. And it's the trends. It's not like they
30:39
Speaker 1: were scoring. I don't want to be you know, last
30:44
Speaker 1: half empty. Okay, but reality sets in at some point
30:47
Speaker 1: and they're all difficult is my point right now. But
30:50
Speaker 1: my point is is that let's say you find a
30:53
Speaker 1: way to score two touchdowns, find a way, and then
30:58
Speaker 1: you end up they kicking a couple of field goals. Okay,
31:02
Speaker 1: that's twenty points. Twenty points might be enough to beat
31:05
Speaker 1: Tennessee if you play good defense, which the Jaguars defense.
31:10
Speaker 1: As I said this a little bit ago, it's not
31:11
Speaker 1: training in the right direction. But were they trending in
31:15
Speaker 1: the right direction when they beat Buffalo. They've had some
31:17
Speaker 1: good defensive performances this year, and I think a big
31:22
Speaker 1: part of that, too, is is getting Shot Griffin back.
31:25
Speaker 1: That'll help. He's a leader, he's a part of the
31:28
Speaker 1: leadership of that defense. Getting him back, I get Josh
31:31
Speaker 1: Allen back on track. You gotta get the middle of
31:34
Speaker 1: that defense back to being stout again. They've been getting
31:37
Speaker 1: pushed around a little bit, and if they continue to
31:40
Speaker 1: get pushed around, then they're they're not gonna have a
31:42
Speaker 1: chance as a team. I mean, seriously, They've got to
31:45
Speaker 1: be better upfront. Gotta be better up front because that's
31:49
Speaker 1: always where it starts. And like Malcolm Brown has been
31:52
Speaker 1: pretty good, gotchas and this past game, and and Davon
31:57
Speaker 1: Hamilton's didn't play this week, I know, but before that
32:01
Speaker 1: got pushed around against Atlanta, not being got pushed around.
32:06
Speaker 1: So they need to find a way to get back
32:08
Speaker 1: to being stout and having those two headache making linebackers
32:13
Speaker 1: Damian Wilson and Miles Jack rolling, because this is even
32:19
Speaker 1: without Derrick Henry in there, this is a team that,
32:22
Speaker 1: especially without the playmakers outside, they want to run the ball.
32:26
Speaker 1: And last time out they had two guys go over
32:28
Speaker 1: a hundred yards Yonte Foreman Dontrelle Hilliard, both guys who
32:31
Speaker 1: haven't had a lot of time around the league last
32:33
Speaker 1: year or so, only about three games each in the NFL.
32:37
Speaker 1: For each of those guys, we've seen Foreman before and
32:39
Speaker 1: with the Texans in his past um Hillier's bounced around
32:43
Speaker 1: a little bit, but Foreman has kind of fallen from grace.
32:46
Speaker 1: I mean, wasn't he was like a higher pick and
32:47
Speaker 1: then came out of Texas, I believe, Yeah, But I
32:50
Speaker 1: mean he was kind of one of those guys that
32:52
Speaker 1: was being expected to be a really good player. Uh,
32:55
Speaker 1: And I don't remember went round here. I thought he
32:57
Speaker 1: was a I thought he was a pretty d sent
33:00
Speaker 1: high round pick, and a lot of people thought the
33:03
Speaker 1: arrow was pointing up on him. And then all of
33:05
Speaker 1: a sudden his career just kind of fizz fizzled out
33:08
Speaker 1: and almost disappeared. Yeah, it was a third round pick
33:12
Speaker 1: the Texans back in seventeen out of Texas. Yeah, it's weird.
33:16
Speaker 1: Weird how that is, because I mean he was a
33:18
Speaker 1: guy that was expected to do really good things for
33:20
Speaker 1: the Texans. Now for the Titans, you know, not bad,
33:26
Speaker 1: just there. You know, in reality, it's not a long
33:28
Speaker 1: term play for them there um, But it's to plug
33:32
Speaker 1: the hole and try to get them to the end
33:33
Speaker 1: of the to the finish line of the regular season
33:36
Speaker 1: and then figure out where Derrick Henry is. But that's
33:39
Speaker 1: what's what they're up against this week. They will hand
33:41
Speaker 1: it off a bunch of those guys, So you gotta
33:44
Speaker 1: be able to stop it. Even with I can tell
33:46
Speaker 1: you this, if I was a defensive back, I'd be like,
33:52
Speaker 1: no Derrick Henry this week, right, I would worry about
33:55
Speaker 1: that stiff arm and stiff arm, the highlight films, the
34:00
Speaker 1: the highlight films he he makes more defensive backs look
34:05
Speaker 1: so bad when he runs the ball, when he gets
34:08
Speaker 1: out into space, and that's yeah, defensive backs don't like
34:11
Speaker 1: being part of the Derrick Henry film. No, we've seen
34:14
Speaker 1: that firsthand before. The other side of the ball. This
34:17
Speaker 1: Titans defense, they've got a couple of guys that can
34:20
Speaker 1: get to the quarterback. Jeffrey Simmons has some big numbers
34:22
Speaker 1: this year. Harold Landry has ten sacks in the year.
34:26
Speaker 1: Left there and and playing well. It's not like they're
34:28
Speaker 1: big heralded names. And then on the back end, Kevin
34:32
Speaker 1: Bayer is a safety who's had a track record of
34:34
Speaker 1: interceptions against this franchise. But he got on five on
34:38
Speaker 1: the year because he on COVID. I think he ended
34:40
Speaker 1: up being and maybe I'm wrong, but I thought I
34:43
Speaker 1: saw that he went on on the COVID list. He's
34:49
Speaker 1: activated today, so he was on the list now, toy.
34:54
Speaker 1: According to the Tennessee he's a good player. He's a
34:57
Speaker 1: good player and defensively for them. They've been a really
35:01
Speaker 1: good team against the run. Jeffrey Simmons is a guy
35:03
Speaker 1: and I'm assuming he's been playing. I haven't watched the
35:05
Speaker 1: film yet, but uh, but he he was a dominant
35:09
Speaker 1: force in the first game. He's good. I mean he's
35:15
Speaker 1: really good. Is he as good as what Albert Haynesworth
35:20
Speaker 1: was for the Tennessee Titans back in his Hey, they
35:23
Speaker 1: probably not. But he's really good. I mean he's a big, strong,
35:27
Speaker 1: physical to play the run, can pass rush, push these
35:30
Speaker 1: guys around. Yeah, he's a handful. Now, he's a handful.
35:34
Speaker 1: And I guarantee one of the reasons why Landry has
35:36
Speaker 1: the sacks that he has is because Simms can push
35:39
Speaker 1: the pocket. I mean, he's a big, strong man. So
35:43
Speaker 1: I think this is a good matchup this week. JP.
35:45
Speaker 1: I feel like feeling confident, Okay, I like this. I'm
35:48
Speaker 1: a Tuesday. Yeah early in the week. You know, I'm
35:51
Speaker 1: going into December a little bit. Now, I know one thing,
35:56
Speaker 1: You're You're you're back in the fold again this week,
35:58
Speaker 1: so you're like, oh, yeah, let's go. I just I
36:01
Speaker 1: just want to see this football team finish the season outright,
36:07
Speaker 1: because you know what our expectation going into this season
36:10
Speaker 1: was that this was gonna be a tough year. We
36:13
Speaker 1: knew it was gonna be tough. When I say tough
36:16
Speaker 1: as far as you've got a rookie quarterback, and we
36:19
Speaker 1: talked about the Troy Aikman rookie season, the Peyton Manning
36:23
Speaker 1: rookie season, and our expectation was it might be like
36:27
Speaker 1: that might be, and it has been. But the problem
36:33
Speaker 1: that we're that we're having right now is that we're
36:36
Speaker 1: we need to start to see something that shows that
36:40
Speaker 1: this offense is getting better, that this team is getting better,
36:45
Speaker 1: that Trevor Lawrence is getting better. That's what you want.
36:49
Speaker 1: You gotta have something to sink your teeth into at
36:52
Speaker 1: the end of the season, and you've got five games
36:55
Speaker 1: to do that, so you better start getting some hay
36:59
Speaker 1: putting the bar for Sunday. I'm gonna tell you that
37:02
Speaker 1: you've gotta start working on it because this football team
37:05
Speaker 1: needs to close out this season the right way if
37:08
Speaker 1: you want to end up having some positivity to finish
37:12
Speaker 1: the year out, because right now, there's not a lot
37:15
Speaker 1: of positivity right now, and the only way that you
37:18
Speaker 1: do that is by playing better and winning games and
37:23
Speaker 1: we We said at the beginning of the year that
37:24
Speaker 1: this was about Trevor Lawrence. Where has his numbers been
37:29
Speaker 1: not good lately? That's probably lately, you know, it's a
37:33
Speaker 1: real problem. We'll come back in just a moment the
37:36
Speaker 1: Baptist Health Injury Reports, will take a look at the
37:39
Speaker 1: FC South standings, though you probably have an idea already.
37:42

38:18
Speaker 1: with Jeff Flagaman coming up at five o'clock. We're let's
38:22
Speaker 1: see about twelve minutes away from the Urban Meyer Show
38:25
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Radio Network. We'll hear from the Jaguars
38:28
Speaker 1: head coach today and get his final thoughts on the
38:31
Speaker 1: loss to the Rams, the offensive production or lack thereof
38:35
Speaker 1: for a lot of the game this past week, and
38:37
Speaker 1: some reasons why the defense had some issues in the game.
38:41
Speaker 1: And then the talk of the town, the running back room.
38:44
Speaker 1: Will ask Urban about that coming up in about twelve
38:47
Speaker 1: eleven minutes from right now on the Urban Meyers Show.
38:51
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the Baptist Health injury report,
38:53
Speaker 1: Baptist Health changing healthcare for good and on the reserve
38:57
Speaker 1: injured list and Arnold Jamal agnew a j can still
39:00
Speaker 1: there of course, Chart with a broken leg, Travis E.
39:03
Speaker 1: T and Jr. And Terry Godwin. But the names that
39:06
Speaker 1: you'll hear this week coming up. Brandon Lender came out
39:11
Speaker 1: of the game this past week with a back issue,
39:13
Speaker 1: as did Ben BArch Um. Tyson Campbell had an adminal
39:18
Speaker 1: issue but returned to the game. That's good news. Shaq
39:21
Speaker 1: Griffin missed the game with a concussion and we'll see
39:24
Speaker 1: what the progress is with him. Maybe ask Irvan about
39:27
Speaker 1: that coming up too. So and Ben BArch Ben bartch yep,
39:29
Speaker 1: and he came out of the game last week also, Yeah,
39:32
Speaker 1: so some questions here. Yeah, the the thing with Lender,
39:36
Speaker 1: I remember it was the first part of the second
39:39
Speaker 1: half and I'm want, holy cowbird Lender go, and uh,
39:44
Speaker 1: I guess it was a back injury of some kind
39:46
Speaker 1: before the half. And then he comes out and once again,
39:51
Speaker 1: Shatley to the rescue, you know what I mean. And
39:53
Speaker 1: chat Lee has been really good and chat Lee is
39:56
Speaker 1: by far the most valuable backup on this team, and
40:00
Speaker 1: he's been that way for a number of years. I mean,
40:02
Speaker 1: that's uh, it's enough strength. Shatley is no stranger to
40:06
Speaker 1: having to play. I mean, he's got thirty career starts
40:09
Speaker 1: under his belt and thirty career starts as a backup,
40:13
Speaker 1: which a lot of them have been because of Lenders
40:15
Speaker 1: had different issues, ailments, etcetera. And hopefully Lender is good
40:20
Speaker 1: to go, because he's already had a tough go of
40:22
Speaker 1: it with the knee and the ankle, you know, combined
40:25
Speaker 1: that took him out for a while. And I thought
40:27
Speaker 1: Lender played pretty well while he was in there, and
40:29
Speaker 1: then when Shatley came in, I thought he played pretty well.
40:32
Speaker 1: The problems. I think that the Jaguars had on the
40:35
Speaker 1: offensive line was Barching Norwell. And oh, by the way,
40:39
Speaker 1: they had to block Aaron Donald. So I mean, that's
40:43
Speaker 1: kind of one of those things where what do you expect.
40:45
Speaker 1: You can't expect them to be to be great when
40:47
Speaker 1: you're playing against a great player. The other guy that
40:49
Speaker 1: I thought played pretty well for the for the Rams
40:51
Speaker 1: was Greg Gaines, defensive tackle, kind of one of those
40:55
Speaker 1: big plotting type nose tackles. I thought he was very
40:58
Speaker 1: active and I thought he was physical. I thought Leonard
41:02
Speaker 1: Floyd played well for the Rams. I didn't think Von
41:06
Speaker 1: Miller did much. And von Miller is now without a
41:09
Speaker 1: sack since he joined the Rams. So when you talk
41:15
Speaker 1: about stars, should they be talking about Leonard Florida Floyd
41:19
Speaker 1: a little bit the guy on the other side more
41:21
Speaker 1: than they should be talking about von Miller. So that's
41:26
Speaker 1: and in von Miller. I think that was a really
41:29
Speaker 1: good trade for the Broncos. I do you don't think, well,
41:33
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll say this, I'm not gonna write off
41:36
Speaker 1: von Miller yet, because at some point he can go
41:39
Speaker 1: in and get three sacks in a row. You know
41:41
Speaker 1: how he played. Sometimes I know. I mean, look, we've
41:43
Speaker 1: seen that here a couple of years ago. Remember in
41:46
Speaker 1: the game here he goes all of a sudden, he's
41:48
Speaker 1: in the backfield twice sacks act. But I don't I
41:51
Speaker 1: don't see. I don't see when when you see a
41:54
Speaker 1: guy that has that that type of ability like t J.
41:57
Speaker 1: Watt what did he have like three and a half
41:59
Speaker 1: this weekend against Baltimore. And when you see a guy
42:03
Speaker 1: like that, his motor runs and it doesn't stop. When
42:06
Speaker 1: you watch von Miller play, now, yeah, an't even dealing
42:10
Speaker 1: with like an ankle or something to a couple of
42:12
Speaker 1: weeks JP, I don't know what it is, but I
42:13
Speaker 1: can just tell you that when you watch him play,
42:15
Speaker 1: that motor is not running. You know, like Smoot. When
42:19
Speaker 1: Smooth plays for the Jaguars, his motor rolls. You know,
42:22
Speaker 1: he's not gonna get three sacks in a game, but
42:26
Speaker 1: his motors rolling, and Von Miller's motor doesn't. It's not rolling.
42:31
Speaker 1: He he kind of picks and chooses when he goes
42:34
Speaker 1: full speed and other times when he's not going full speed.
42:38
Speaker 1: He kind of is a little bit of a spectator,
42:41
Speaker 1: which if I'm the Rams, I'm going if the old
42:45
Speaker 1: Bill Parcels trick. You take the gas tank, you go
42:50
Speaker 1: and you put it in his locker and just ask
42:52
Speaker 1: and say, I'm wondering if you got any any fuel
42:54
Speaker 1: left in the tank. You know, I've never heard that
42:57
Speaker 1: story about Bill Parcells. Bill Parr seals, I can't remember
43:00
Speaker 1: who he did that too. He did that to somebody
43:03
Speaker 1: to motivate them because it was an older player and
43:06
Speaker 1: he was giving him a hard time. Said, look, you're
43:08
Speaker 1: playing like you don't have any you don't have any
43:10
Speaker 1: gas left in the tank. So here's gas tank. Did
43:14
Speaker 1: it work guy? I think guy end up playing really well.
43:18
Speaker 1: So could Sean McVeigh put a gas tank in von
43:23
Speaker 1: Miller's locker? I don't think he's gonna do that. Yeah,
43:26
Speaker 1: Parcels could get away with that. Gas is like six
43:29
Speaker 1: bucks of gallon in California right now, by the way,
43:31
Speaker 1: he's buying them when I'm a little we all right. Yeah,
43:36
Speaker 1: let's take a look at the AC sound standings through
43:39
Speaker 1: week thirteen. It is you would expect. It's the same.
43:42
Speaker 1: Tennessee leads away eight and four in the seven and
43:45
Speaker 1: six Houston to intend Jacksonville to inten Of course, the
43:49
Speaker 1: Jags have not won in the division. The Jags are
43:52
Speaker 1: two and oh against the a f C East, though,
43:55
Speaker 1: But my prediction on Monday earlier in the year, I
43:57
Speaker 1: had a lock that I made that the Jags would
44:00
Speaker 1: weep the a f C. East. That looks horrible. Now
44:03
Speaker 1: you know, they might get the Jets. The Patriots are
44:06
Speaker 1: playing really well, so we'll see a lot of football left.
44:09
Speaker 1: That was Uh. I wasn't able to stay awake for
44:13
Speaker 1: the entirety of the game last night. But uh, I've
44:17
Speaker 1: stayed awake until about halftime. I'm about a halftime guy
44:20
Speaker 1: on Monday night football anymore. And the Patriots are good. Now,
44:25
Speaker 1: what time do you eat dinner? I'm kidding, I'm just joke.
44:29
Speaker 1: What's that got to do with me getting older? I'm
44:31
Speaker 1: just you know you well, you're getting older. Wait? Wait, wait,
44:35
Speaker 1: aren't you turning forty next this coming Sunday? Correct, it's
44:41
Speaker 1: a true story. JP turns forty this Sunday. Yeah, we
44:46
Speaker 1: need to have like a little birthday celebration of some kind.
44:50
Speaker 1: I'll be sitting right here. I'll be sitting right here.
44:52
Speaker 1: You guys will be in Nashville. We gotta find gotta something. Man,
44:58
Speaker 1: forty oh, I've been here for all of them. Sure,
45:02
Speaker 1: I'm very sure, yes, And I'm not thirty either, that's
45:06
Speaker 1: for sure. So that's what it is. Time marches on.
45:10
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the a f C South
45:13
Speaker 1: upcoming schedules the rest of the way five weeks to go. Now,
45:16
Speaker 1: the question is can the Colts overtake the Titans? There
45:21
Speaker 1: are some tough schedules for both of those teams, You
45:23
Speaker 1: don't think so. Carson Wentz is not is not good enough?
45:28
Speaker 1: And I think Tennessee is a pretty gritty team. And
45:33
Speaker 1: schedule for Tennessee, I mean the next couple of weeks.
45:36
Speaker 1: Look look at the Tennessee. Look at the schedule for
45:38
Speaker 1: the Colts. All right, So the Colts coming up by
45:40
Speaker 1: this week, They're next the week fifteen, and then at Arizona.
45:45
Speaker 1: Weeks two best teams NFC back to back. The Raiders
45:49
Speaker 1: aren't going down without a fight. They played them week
45:51
Speaker 1: seventeen and they're pretty good. Jaguars won't go down without
45:54
Speaker 1: a fight either, Week eighteen, right here in Jacksonville against
45:58
Speaker 1: the Colts. So I hope they the Titans. What about
46:03
Speaker 1: the Texans? They got a chance to make it back
46:05
Speaker 1: back where the division lead. No, they're officially eliminated from
46:11
Speaker 1: playoff contention after this weekend. The Jaguars would have been
46:15
Speaker 1: had the Bills won last night, so the Jaguars are
46:17
Speaker 1: still mathematically alive. The crazy thing is that that team
46:23
Speaker 1: beat the Jaguars Week one, I know, right, Yeah, that's disappointing. Yeah,
46:31
Speaker 1: we had that one circled all offseason. That was a
46:34
Speaker 1: tough one. That's the one we're gonna get the Okay,
46:36
Speaker 1: week one dubbed We were talking about Houston like dumpster fire, right,
46:41
Speaker 1: that was the term I heard thrown around. Yes, and
46:44
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, Houston is able to do it.
46:47
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I'd look. I can tell you this.
46:49
Speaker 1: I think this is as entertaining that the NFL has
46:55
Speaker 1: been in a long time. As far as you know,
47:00
Speaker 1: there's we all we we thought we knew before the
47:02
Speaker 1: season who the contenders were, and now there's some teams
47:06
Speaker 1: sneaking in there that are saying, wait a minute, don't
47:09
Speaker 1: don't quite crown the champion yet. And this this year,
47:13
Speaker 1: I think the season has come down to some fantastic games,
47:15
Speaker 1: some fantastic finishes. I mean, it's about unless you're watching
47:20
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. This has been about a good of an
47:22
Speaker 1: NFL season as that you could possibly watch. Coming up
47:26
Speaker 1: in just a few minutes, the Urban Myers Show on
47:29
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Radio Network. What do you want to hear
47:31
Speaker 1: from Urban tonight, Lugs. I want to hear about the
47:34
Speaker 1: running back situation. I want to find out if he's
47:36
Speaker 1: talked to James Robinson. I think that's imperative. He's a
47:41
Speaker 1: he's a very well respected player in the locker room,
47:46
Speaker 1: and I want to know how what's happened. Has anything
47:49
Speaker 1: happened there, because I don't you know, and I don't
47:54
Speaker 1: know if there's gonna be if he's gonna give us
47:56
Speaker 1: the answer on that or not. He said before that
47:59
Speaker 1: he doesn't mike her manage. Will he continue to say that.
48:01
Speaker 1: I don't know, but we got to ask him. Has
48:05
Speaker 1: anything come of that situation? It's been the talk of
48:07
Speaker 1: the town. It's been after the press conference after the game,
48:11
Speaker 1: and then the press conference Monday, and then James Robinson's
48:15
Speaker 1: television appearance last night. There's been a lot of things
48:19
Speaker 1: out there around that situation. And we'll see if Urban
48:21
Speaker 1: has anything for us. Yeah, that's right around the corner.
48:26
Speaker 1: About a minute or so from right now on the network.
48:29
Speaker 1: So Jaguars are headed a Tennessee this week to face
48:32
Speaker 1: the Titans. They haven't won at Nissan Stadium. The Jaguars
48:35
Speaker 1: since will try to snap that skid up there in
48:39
Speaker 1: a place they haven't won a lot of games historically
48:41
Speaker 1: this week against the first place Tennessee Titans. Coming up
48:46
Speaker 1: the Urban Meyers Show on the Jaguars Radio Network work,
48:49
Speaker 1: we'll hear from the Jags head coach get his final
48:51
Speaker 1: thoughts on the l A. Rams game this past week
48:54
Speaker 1: at so Far Stadium. The Jaguars lost that one thirty
48:57
Speaker 1: seven to seven. Had some off it's of issues of
49:00
Speaker 1: course throughout the game, the defense out on the field
49:03
Speaker 1: a lot some quick turnarounds too after three announced with
49:06
Speaker 1: the Jags offense. We'll get his thoughts on both sides
49:09
Speaker 1: of the ball and then move ahead to the Tennessee Titans.
49:12
Speaker 1: A second time to face the Titans and a little
49:15
Speaker 1: different look for the coaching staff and the Jags players
49:18
Speaker 1: this time for Tennessee. They have some frontline players out
49:22
Speaker 1: or possibly out this week, most notably, of course, the
49:25
Speaker 1: running back Derrick Henry. So plenty to get to coming up.
49:29
Speaker 1: That's just in a few moments with the Urban Meyer,
49:31
Speaker 1: the Jaguars head coach. Thanks for our entire crew. Dave
