0:33
Speaker 1: a busy two hours ahead here on Jaguars Radio. In fact,

Speaker 1: shot CON's statement on Urban Meyer will go through what
0:39
Speaker 1: the Jaguars owner had to say a little earlier. Today,
0:43
Speaker 1: we'll get our final look at the Jaguars loss to
0:45
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals, our first look at the Tennessee Titans,
0:49
Speaker 1: the division rivals, the division leaders are coming to town
0:52
Speaker 1: this Sunday. How did the Jaguars ignore the noise, move
0:57
Speaker 1: forward and move on to Tennessee. That's a big question
1:00
Speaker 1: moving ahead. The Jaguars, of course, trying to snap the
1:04
Speaker 1: franchise worst losing skid now now nineteen games four straight
1:08
Speaker 1: to start this season, tied for the third longest in
1:10
Speaker 1: league history. That it's a big task this week against
1:14
Speaker 1: a Titan scene that can run the football, we'll see
1:16
Speaker 1: if any receivers are back for the Titans. Then at
1:19
Speaker 1: five o'clock today, the Urban Meyers Show will air on
1:22
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Radio Network with head coach Urban Meyer joining
1:25
Speaker 1: us and we'll get his comments on the shod con
1:29
Speaker 1: statement that will come up at five o'clock today on
1:31
Speaker 1: the network, So stay tuned there. Of course, let's start
1:34
Speaker 1: with the biggest news of the week, urban Meyer apologizing
1:38
Speaker 1: Monday for video and photos that came out on social
1:41
Speaker 1: media over the weekend after the mini buy for the Jags.
1:46
Speaker 1: I just apologize to the team and staff and for
1:49
Speaker 1: being a distraction. Is stupid, um, And so I explained
1:54
Speaker 1: everything that happened and owned it and you know, just stupid. Uh.
2:00
Speaker 1: Should not have myself in that kind of position. I
2:02
Speaker 1: stating to see the grand kids and we all went
2:04
Speaker 1: to dinner that night at restaurant and then there's a
2:08
Speaker 1: big group next to our restaurant and they wanted me
2:11
Speaker 1: to come over and take pictures and I did, and
2:14
Speaker 1: they're trying to pull me out on a dance horse,
2:16
Speaker 1: screwing around and I should have left. Well, I've always
2:19
Speaker 1: been so defensive of them. You know, remember when Trevor
2:21
Speaker 1: told me he's gonna go to Vegas for his batchelor party.
2:24
Speaker 1: And I mean, I was just my gosh, Man, be
2:26
Speaker 1: careful and surround yourself. And because I've seen this happen,
2:30
Speaker 1: and and I just so the team, the team. I
2:35
Speaker 1: spoke to a bunch of leaders one on one, spoke
2:37
Speaker 1: to all the players. They're good, they were focused on Tennessee.
2:41
Speaker 1: And I apologized again for being a distraction and coach
2:46
Speaker 1: should not be a distraction. That was Urban Meyer, part
2:50
Speaker 1: of his statements on Monday to the media assembled here
2:53
Speaker 1: at t i A bank Field. Not long after that
2:56
Speaker 1: more was posted on Twitter, and today Jaguars or Shot
3:00
Speaker 1: Khan issued a statement saying quote, I have addressed this
3:03
Speaker 1: matter with Urban. Specifics of our conversation will be held
3:06
Speaker 1: in confidence. What I will say is his conduct last
3:09
Speaker 1: weekend was inexcusable. I appreciate Urban's remorse, which I believe
3:12
Speaker 1: in sincere. Now he must regain our trust and respect.
3:16
Speaker 1: That will require a personal commitment from Urban to everyone
3:19
Speaker 1: who supports, represents, or plays for our team. I am
3:22
Speaker 1: confident he will deliver end quote. That's Jaguar's owner Shot
3:26
Speaker 1: con Jeff Loguman in with us now, it's been an
3:30
Speaker 1: eventful couple of days, and it has nothing to do
3:32
Speaker 1: with football moving ahead here well, and that's that's the problem.
3:35
Speaker 1: You know that it doesn't have anything to do with football,
3:38
Speaker 1: and and at in no way, shape or form do
3:41
Speaker 1: you want to coach to ever be a distraction. In fact,
3:43
Speaker 1: the coaches are the ones that are always preaching about
3:46
Speaker 1: players not doing anything to create a distraction. And this
3:50
Speaker 1: certainly has created a distraction. And when you stand up
3:55
Speaker 1: in front of the team and you're asking for six
3:59
Speaker 1: months of laser focus and giving us all of you've
4:03
Speaker 1: got for six months and not creating distractions, and then
4:07
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you become part of that distraction.
4:11
Speaker 1: That's a problem. And I think that when that happens,
4:15
Speaker 1: then the confidence sometimes and the believability in the head
4:21
Speaker 1: coach and the respect can erode. And that's the challenge
4:25
Speaker 1: that I think that Urban Meyer face is now going forward,
4:29
Speaker 1: is that how the locker room reacts from here on out. Yeah,
4:33
Speaker 1: everybody's human. Everybody has a cell phone these days as well,
4:36
Speaker 1: and most of the players are on social media. You
4:38
Speaker 1: can see what's out there, so you can say, you know,
4:40
Speaker 1: put the blinders on focus, get ready for Tennessee. But
4:44
Speaker 1: you picked this thing up again and that's right there
4:46
Speaker 1: in front of you. You know, two things on that. One.
4:49
Speaker 1: One is that obviously I think we all have made
4:52
Speaker 1: mistakes before and and uh, and we're not nobody's perfect.
4:57
Speaker 1: I was very surprised to hear that he aid back
5:00
Speaker 1: and Cincinnati and didn't return with the with the team charter,
5:04
Speaker 1: because that's just how I've always known things to be done. Uh.
5:09
Speaker 1: I think the only thing that I would probably say, okay,
5:12
Speaker 1: that that that's understandable would be is that if the
5:16
Speaker 1: head coach had a sickness in the family, if there
5:20
Speaker 1: was a death and attendant a funeral of something in
5:23
Speaker 1: that nature. But JP is kind of it's kind of
5:25
Speaker 1: like that the captain always stays with the ship and uh,
5:31
Speaker 1: and it certainly just doesn't have a very good look
5:33
Speaker 1: to it. I'll say that, how do you you know
5:35
Speaker 1: we're going through the shodcoun statement here, and we're gonna
5:39
Speaker 1: hear from Urban Meyer coming up at five o'clock on
5:41
Speaker 1: the Urban Meyer Show today and get his thoughts on it. Obviously,
5:44
Speaker 1: um regaining trust and respect. We touched on it there
5:48
Speaker 1: a second ago. How do you think the head coach
5:51
Speaker 1: has to go about doing that. What specifically can he
5:54
Speaker 1: do to regain that Well, first of all, he needs
5:57
Speaker 1: to use his own terms, which is own it, right.
6:01
Speaker 1: I mean we've heard that term many times being talked
6:04
Speaker 1: about throughout the year, and he would need to own
6:08
Speaker 1: it and to talk to the team and a team
6:10
Speaker 1: setting with the staff there and everybody present. I mean,
6:13
Speaker 1: I think that's what needs to happen. I don't know
6:15
Speaker 1: if that's happened yet or not, but that's certainly I
6:18
Speaker 1: think the first step. And to apologize to to those
6:22
Speaker 1: that were affected by it. And you know this, this
6:25
Speaker 1: is not an easy situation to deal with JP. I
6:28
Speaker 1: mean I've never I've never really kind of seen anything
6:31
Speaker 1: kind of like this. And you know, when you had
6:33
Speaker 1: the the press conference that happened, and then you know,
6:37
Speaker 1: the second video comes out, which certainly it kind of
6:41
Speaker 1: contradicts what was said, and so that's the challenging part
6:46
Speaker 1: of all of this, and I think that's why you
6:47
Speaker 1: had a statement that was issued by ownership, and that's
6:50
Speaker 1: not something that you want to have happened during the season.
6:53
Speaker 1: Playing football is hard enough, it's incredibly hard. I don't
6:56
Speaker 1: think you want it anytime, but certainly not during the season. No, yeah,
6:59
Speaker 1: you don't want to at all. I mean, it looked
7:02
Speaker 1: playing football and when football games is hard. I mean,
7:04
Speaker 1: it looks this football team has lost a lot of games.
7:06
Speaker 1: And I know Urban mart was not at the home
7:08
Speaker 1: to lose all of the games that were lost, all
7:11
Speaker 1: nineteen games or whatever, but it's just it's not it's
7:17
Speaker 1: not what you want to have happened at this point
7:20
Speaker 1: in the season when you're getting ready to come home
7:23
Speaker 1: and face a division opponent, and for that matter, it
7:27
Speaker 1: doesn't I mean going anywhere. I mean, you just don't
7:29
Speaker 1: want it at any point in the season. J. P. Shadrick,
7:32
Speaker 1: Jeff Logan, the Jaguars Happy Hour, and again coming up
7:34
Speaker 1: at five o'clock, we'll have an exclusive conversation with that
7:37
Speaker 1: go Chervan Meyer on the Urban Meyer Show on the
7:39
Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio Network. So stay tuned. We'll get his thoughts
7:43
Speaker 1: on shodcon statement earlier today. So now looking ahead a
7:47
Speaker 1: little bit, we're gonna we're gonna look back to the
7:49
Speaker 1: Bengals game also and then get into some football. Moving
7:52
Speaker 1: ahead here, let's start going back though, I mean, this
7:55
Speaker 1: was this is another game that the Jags. Had they
7:59
Speaker 1: had it in the back, it was to score game,
8:01
Speaker 1: could have been a three score game. And then the
8:02
Speaker 1: second half collapse happened again second week in a row.
8:05
Speaker 1: That's first it was. It was a fantastic football game.
8:08
Speaker 1: I mean as far as the excitement level, I mean,
8:10
Speaker 1: this was you know, the Jaguars cut out to an
8:12
Speaker 1: early start and then you know you had some drama
8:14
Speaker 1: there at the end of the half where the Cincinnati
8:16
Speaker 1: Bengals stop him on downs. The Bengals come out and
8:19
Speaker 1: score on their next two possessions. The Jaguars answer, I
8:22
Speaker 1: mean it was back and forth. I mean, this is
8:24
Speaker 1: as entertaining of a football game, primetime event. I mean,
8:28
Speaker 1: most of the primetime games that have happened in the
8:30
Speaker 1: National Football League have been outstanding this year. I was
8:34
Speaker 1: gonna say, this feels like most other games we see
8:37
Speaker 1: around the NFL that the Jaguar game, well, that's the time.
8:40
Speaker 1: The games that we've been seeing prime time have been
8:43
Speaker 1: just like this. And uh, you know two number one
8:45
Speaker 1: overall pick quarterbacks that that played really good. I thought
8:50
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence played his best football game yet and he
8:54
Speaker 1: showed some mobility, got his first rushing touchdown of his career,
8:58
Speaker 1: and the Jaguars were able to overcome some early injuries
9:01
Speaker 1: to A. J. Cann and D. J. Chart to still
9:03
Speaker 1: be able to do to produce. I mean, that was
9:05
Speaker 1: that was a strong, strong game, I thought by the
9:07
Speaker 1: offense in the first half and the defense as well.
9:10
Speaker 1: And in the second half. The defense just once again,
9:13
Speaker 1: like the Arizona Cardinal game, they just they just seemed
9:17
Speaker 1: to struggle in the second half, and they struggled again
9:20
Speaker 1: against the Cincinnati Bengals in the second half. And give
9:23
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow credit and uh and look, they got their
9:27
Speaker 1: running game going in the second half, which they did
9:29
Speaker 1: not have at all in the first half. They did
9:30
Speaker 1: a great job on Joe Mixing in the first half
9:33
Speaker 1: and they had five carries for fourteen yards in the
9:35
Speaker 1: first half. That was the big reason why you had
9:38
Speaker 1: success against the Bengals. And then they come out in
9:40
Speaker 1: the second half, hit some explosive plays, get Joe Mixing going.
9:44
Speaker 1: It's the tail of two halves. I mean, opening drive,
9:46
Speaker 1: they throw a forty four yearlder to chase down the
9:48
Speaker 1: field past Campbell and that kind of opens things up
9:50
Speaker 1: and here we go, you know, and and it seems
9:52
Speaker 1: like there were moments where they kind of spread it
9:55
Speaker 1: out and exploited some of the matchups they felt they
9:59
Speaker 1: had some advantage is in in the Jaguars secondary, in
10:01
Speaker 1: linebacker court. It worked out for them unfortunately. And then
10:05
Speaker 1: and looks Joe Burrow also kind of had the Tale
10:09
Speaker 1: of two halves and so like that last night. I
10:12
Speaker 1: don't know if you watched the Monday night game, Derek
10:13
Speaker 1: Carr was like that. He was terrible. It wasn't very
10:16
Speaker 1: good in the first in the second half and until
10:18
Speaker 1: the tale end of the football game, but it kind
10:20
Speaker 1: of got them back in the game. And I think
10:23
Speaker 1: for me, so far, this National Football League gear has
10:26
Speaker 1: been unbelievable. I mean not not talking Jaguars specifically, but
10:30
Speaker 1: I mean as far as the entertainment here too. For
10:33
Speaker 1: the game, yes, but but the but the the entertainment
10:38
Speaker 1: value of some of the national games that have been
10:40
Speaker 1: out thereby in the NFL have been nothing short of
10:44
Speaker 1: just marvelous. So let's have some more of those with
10:47
Speaker 1: the Jaguars involved, but with a winning result at the
10:50
Speaker 1: end of those. That's and you know, the unfortunate thing
10:53
Speaker 1: is that where we're at now that you know you're
10:54
Speaker 1: trying to get past this, this distraction to talk football,
11:01
Speaker 1: and I mean, this is not what you want to
11:03
Speaker 1: be talking about, which is on a Tuesday. Because everything
11:07
Speaker 1: that's happened the last three or four days goes into
11:11
Speaker 1: the next three or four days, won't. It doesn't end.
11:15
Speaker 1: It doesn't end. And because much as you want to
11:19
Speaker 1: move forward and say you're moving ahead to the Titans
11:21
Speaker 1: and all that, it's still just a prevailing thing. Well,
11:25
Speaker 1: it's gonna float in the air, that's right, It's it's
11:27
Speaker 1: gonna be there. The one thing I think that's a
11:29
Speaker 1: little bit different, Yeah, now post COVID or during COVID,
11:34
Speaker 1: because we're still dealing with it. I guess you could
11:36
Speaker 1: say is that you don't have open locker rooms anyways. Correct,
11:40
Speaker 1: They only have a certain period outside for certain tiered
11:44
Speaker 1: members of the media to be at the walkway from
11:47
Speaker 1: the practice field right select players at the post A
11:50
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, you would you had the NFL
11:52
Speaker 1: had required open locker room. In the open locker room,
11:55
Speaker 1: basically the entire locker room was open to all media
11:58
Speaker 1: forty five minutes a day. It was Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
12:02
Speaker 1: and I believe some Mondays though Monday was kind of
12:05
Speaker 1: up in the air. So yeah, so you don't have
12:07
Speaker 1: that anymore. So now the players are made available and
12:12
Speaker 1: which now you don't have because before, if you know,
12:15
Speaker 1: to go back in the day, Pete Briscoe would walk
12:17
Speaker 1: in the locker room and he could talk to one
12:18
Speaker 1: of fifty three guys anytime he wanted to, as long
12:21
Speaker 1: as the guys were in the locker room. Did that
12:22
Speaker 1: in too. That's one thing that happened when there was
12:26
Speaker 1: any kind of scandals and all sudden the locker room
12:28
Speaker 1: it was like roaches and the lights turned on just
12:32
Speaker 1: if there was anything going on, you know, so we
12:34
Speaker 1: got lunch to eat or something. It's gonna be a
12:37
Speaker 1: little bit, a little bit, I don't want to say palatable.
12:40
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a little bit easier to deal with
12:42
Speaker 1: from that perspective. But nowadays with the players and social
12:45
Speaker 1: media and and everything else, I mean, it's it's out
12:48
Speaker 1: there and it's not gonna go away. And so I
12:51
Speaker 1: think it's a great challenge for this team this week
12:54
Speaker 1: from a players standpoint, to to find a way to
12:58
Speaker 1: kind of tune some of the things out and to
13:02
Speaker 1: focus in on preparing for a football game against a
13:06
Speaker 1: rough and tough, physical, punch in the mouth offense that
13:10
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans have because this is just a division
13:13
Speaker 1: rival game. All right. We'll come back in a moment
13:15
Speaker 1: logs and speaking of that, we will get into this
13:18
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans offense and you, my friend, will tell us
13:21
Speaker 1: how to stop Derrick Henry. We want answers today, That's
13:26
Speaker 1: what we want. That's not an easy one. The handle,
13:29
Speaker 1: I can tell you that. Plenty ahead, we're off and running.
13:31
Speaker 1: The Rban Meyers Joe coming up at five o'clock, the
13:33
Speaker 1: head coach will join us and discuss shotguns. Statement from

Speaker 1: Happy Hour on this Tuesday afternoon. Busy schedule ahead at

Speaker 1: Daily's Place in f coming up October six, that's tomorrow.
14:14
Speaker 1: Zach Brown Band on the eighth, Alice Cooper logs October nine,
14:19
Speaker 1: Pitbull October twelve, Three Doors, three Doors Down. In the
14:22
Speaker 1: fourteenth of October, ticket to Daily's Place dot com, Alice Cooper, man,
14:27
Speaker 1: did you know that he is one hell of a golfer?
14:30
Speaker 1: Incredible golfer? Apparently Ace Freely is playing with him that
14:35
Speaker 1: night from Kiss Guitar Player. First of all, how old
14:39
Speaker 1: are they? Um, let's just say they've seen some things.
14:44
Speaker 1: That's all I'll say on that front. There's there's certain guys.
14:47
Speaker 1: First of all, Alice Cooper, I believe years ago got
14:51
Speaker 1: off of the bad things that a lot of rock
14:55
Speaker 1: and rollers were on. But it's just amazing how some
14:59
Speaker 1: of those guys have persevered. You know, guys like Keith Richards,
15:03
Speaker 1: they just they just made it, and you go, how
15:05
Speaker 1: in the world did they even survive? Alice Cooper is
15:09
Speaker 1: now seventy three years old. Did you ever think JP
15:14
Speaker 1: could be going to a concert that was headlined by
15:19
Speaker 1: a seventy three year old rocker yeh named Alice Cooper. No,
15:22
Speaker 1: but good for him and they put together a fantastic tour.
15:27
Speaker 1: Looking forward to seeing those shows coming up at Daily's Place.
15:31
Speaker 1: Also looking forward to this game on Sunday. I know
15:34
Speaker 1: that sounds weird. I'm looking forward to it because it
15:37
Speaker 1: is one of the great challenges every well twice a year,
15:42
Speaker 1: to face the Tennessee Titans running game, and how do
15:44
Speaker 1: you defend it. It seems like, you know, at least
15:47
Speaker 1: the trend has been once a year the Jaguars defense
15:49
Speaker 1: plays it, okay, and then the second game usually Derrick
15:53
Speaker 1: Henry runs for two and twenty yards and three touchdowns. Well,
15:56
Speaker 1: let me just say this too, that when when you
15:59
Speaker 1: say you're very much looking forward to the game, and
16:01
Speaker 1: so am I, And I think that's one the beauty
16:05
Speaker 1: of the game is that the game sometimes it takes
16:10
Speaker 1: you when when you're playing it, you think about nothing
16:12
Speaker 1: but the game. Your blinders are on and so and
16:15
Speaker 1: for some players that are dealing with whether it be
16:17
Speaker 1: personal issues or or you know, you've had this distraction
16:22
Speaker 1: that's created and created this week. Um, when you get
16:26
Speaker 1: to the game, now, it's it tunes that out somewhat.
16:29
Speaker 1: And I think from a player's standpoint, sometimes it's nice
16:33
Speaker 1: to to immerse yourself in the game so that you're
16:37
Speaker 1: not talking about everything else that doesn't have anything to
16:41
Speaker 1: do with the game. Okay, Then now that you're in
16:43
Speaker 1: the game, Yes, you have to deal with trying to
16:46
Speaker 1: find a way to stop the best running back that
16:50
Speaker 1: the NFL has and arguably one of the most physical
16:54
Speaker 1: running backs that the league has ever seen. You know
16:57
Speaker 1: your point just a moment ago. Remember the the Baseball
17:00
Speaker 1: movie For the Love of the Game, Kevin Costner is
17:03
Speaker 1: a picture for the Detroit Tigers and he on the mound,
17:06
Speaker 1: he clears the mechanism and everything just down quiet. That's exactly,
17:11
Speaker 1: and that's what that's what football does. I mean, you
17:13
Speaker 1: hear a lot of guys talk and that maybe going
17:17
Speaker 1: through some type of I'm I'm not saying like personal
17:21
Speaker 1: issues like you know, what's what's happened here with with
17:24
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, but I mean any type of thing. But
17:26
Speaker 1: let's say it's a family sickness or a death in
17:29
Speaker 1: the family. For example, there were games that some great
17:33
Speaker 1: NFL players, Hall of Fame type players, Brett Farve loses
17:37
Speaker 1: his dad and then plays one of the most incredible
17:40
Speaker 1: games that he's ever played in the black Hole, and
17:46
Speaker 1: he talked about how it's just took him to a
17:50
Speaker 1: different place and allowed him to kind of tune out
17:53
Speaker 1: everything for just that three hours. And that's and I
17:56
Speaker 1: think some players will get to that point this week
17:58
Speaker 1: because you know, here, here's the reality that they're gonna be.
18:01
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of conversation this week that
18:04
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with Derrick Henry, that doesn't have
18:08
Speaker 1: anything to do with the Titans defense or special teams
18:11
Speaker 1: or the rest of their offensive players. And that's where
18:14
Speaker 1: I think the players are. You know, they've got to
18:17
Speaker 1: find a way to pull themselves together and uh and
18:20
Speaker 1: and get the focus back. Well, when that conversation does
18:24
Speaker 1: turn to Derrick Henry, how the hell do you stop
18:27
Speaker 1: this guy? I've always heard coaches have different terms for it,
18:32
Speaker 1: but I will tell you this, it's not easy. And
18:36
Speaker 1: there's a lot of different ways. People say, well, you
18:38
Speaker 1: gotta get him before he gets started. Well, yeah, that's
18:41
Speaker 1: easy to do, but he gets started. I mean, he's
18:43
Speaker 1: a great back and you got to tackle him low
18:47
Speaker 1: because you gotta avoid the stiff farm. Well you know what,
18:49
Speaker 1: he's stiff arm guys down to the ground. Well, you
18:53
Speaker 1: gotta make him go outside. He's not a speedper Oh
18:56
Speaker 1: yes he is. In fact, the Titans a lot of
18:59
Speaker 1: their game plan, their design is to get him to
19:01
Speaker 1: the outside so that he can get on the force
19:05
Speaker 1: players that might be smaller defensive backs or safeties or whatever.
19:09
Speaker 1: So there is no easy answer. The answer is this,
19:12
Speaker 1: you need to play good sound football and you need
19:15
Speaker 1: to make sure that everybody's flying to the football because
19:18
Speaker 1: it takes more than one to bring him down. Because
19:20
Speaker 1: he's a great back. He's a great back, and I
19:23
Speaker 1: just know I'll never forget when the Jaguars drafted t
19:26
Speaker 1: at t J. Yeldon and JP will remember this, and
19:30
Speaker 1: I believe they drafted him in the second round, and
19:33
Speaker 1: I remember thinking to myself, I can't believe they just
19:35
Speaker 1: drafted the guy who was the starter, because every time
19:39
Speaker 1: they put in his backup, the backup was better than him,
19:42
Speaker 1: which the backup was Derrick Henry. I mean, over the
19:47
Speaker 1: last ten years in Tuscaloosa, you could throw them all
19:50
Speaker 1: in a pot and they're all just gonna start at
19:52
Speaker 1: some point. They're all starters. They all roll in there
19:54
Speaker 1: and play sure. I mean, Josh Jacobs didn't even play
19:57
Speaker 1: running back watch and he's the first round pick as
19:59
Speaker 1: a running back, and he's a great with the Raiders.
20:02
Speaker 1: He's one of the best Alabama backs that's in the League, right, Yeah,
20:06
Speaker 1: like seventy of his touches or something touchdowns. It's impressive.
20:11
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, Derrick Henry, I think even
20:15
Speaker 1: though as much as Jaguar fans would like to hate him,
20:19
Speaker 1: he's a local guy, you can still dislike the guy
20:23
Speaker 1: you can dislike. Let me begin, I'll start with this.
20:26
Speaker 1: You know what I dislike is I dislike the hair
20:30
Speaker 1: thing flopping and the draw strings flapping when he's running
20:33
Speaker 1: down the sideline uncontested. I hate that, spoken like hate,
20:36
Speaker 1: spoken like a true bald guy. I don't. It's just
20:39
Speaker 1: jealous that Derrick Henry. I'm jealous running for seventy yard
20:44
Speaker 1: touchdowns on the Jaguars defense. That's what I'm jealous about.
20:48
Speaker 1: I dislike. And I know he's some Julie and I
20:51
Speaker 1: know he's and he's probably a nice guy. I've never
20:53
Speaker 1: met him, But you don't care that with your jealous Yeah,
20:59
Speaker 1: I said, that's no secret. It's what it is. Man,
21:05
Speaker 1: What do you want me to say? I can't believe it. Oh,
21:08
Speaker 1: JP is jealous of Derrick Henry's locks. Yeah, well, I mean,
21:12
Speaker 1: you know what, and I'm tired of seeing it from
21:14
Speaker 1: behind when down the sideline I'm sure our defenders are
21:16
Speaker 1: too or seeing it from the ground looking up at
21:18
Speaker 1: him when he's stiff armed. Five guys, I just remember
21:21
Speaker 1: because you go back and uh, and obviously I think
21:25
Speaker 1: it was him and Fred Taylor's son and Derrick Henry
21:29
Speaker 1: at five remember correctly, Derrick Henry is the nation the
21:32
Speaker 1: nationwide all time high school rushing yards leader, correct And
21:37
Speaker 1: then Fred Taylor's son, who was somewhere close to Derrick Henry,
21:43
Speaker 1: Ken Taylor and Kelvin Taylor, and they were having games
21:46
Speaker 1: on ESPN, so they played each other in July the
21:50
Speaker 1: last year. Last year. I guess it was Derrick Henry's
21:53
Speaker 1: senior year. I didn't go to the game, but they
21:56
Speaker 1: were like half the Jaguars team went to the game
21:59
Speaker 1: and still on the sideline. It was a Friday night Julie,
22:02
Speaker 1: and it was like the most crowded game you could
22:04
Speaker 1: ever think of. I remember seeing the highlights of the
22:06
Speaker 1: game and Henry's running for touchdowns down the field as
22:08
Speaker 1: he always did, four hundred yards or something, and all
22:12
Speaker 1: these scores, and then Kelvin Taylor bounces back and runs
22:15
Speaker 1: a big one. It was like that game. That's why
22:18
Speaker 1: they went so and which which was the first of
22:20
Speaker 1: all but arguably one of the greatest high school games
22:23
Speaker 1: of all time by two great players, and one of
22:27
Speaker 1: them goes on to win the Heisman. And now is
22:30
Speaker 1: the best back in the National Football League. And that's
22:33
Speaker 1: not even debatable. There's nobody even close to him. And
22:36
Speaker 1: one thing also two factor in JP Derrick Henry is
22:40
Speaker 1: now not just a runner, he is also a receiver
22:45
Speaker 1: for the Tennessee. Time see, he never really did anything
22:47
Speaker 1: against the Jaguars in the past game. He only has
22:49
Speaker 1: one receiving touchdown against the Jacks and it was a
22:52
Speaker 1: little little screen to the left and at the end
22:54
Speaker 1: of seventeen and he took it sixty six yards down
22:57
Speaker 1: the seam. After that for a touchdowns, it was all run.
22:59
Speaker 1: It isn't like catch and run. Derrick Henry is the
23:02
Speaker 1: second leading receiver for the Tennessee. It just gets worse.
23:07
Speaker 1: The hits keep on coming. Man, what is that? And
23:10
Speaker 1: his locks are getting longer? Yours are not. Nine will
23:14
Speaker 1: never But he's obviously first in the league in rushing
23:17
Speaker 1: attempts person the league and rushing yardage, and first tied
23:20
Speaker 1: for first and rushing touchdowns with four of those. The
23:22
Speaker 1: question is going to be I think is the years
23:24
Speaker 1: go on, and I think a lot of people will
23:26
Speaker 1: have the same question about Derrick Henry's career moving ahead.
23:31
Speaker 1: He takes a lot of shots. He does because people
23:33
Speaker 1: take their shot at him when they can, so he
23:36
Speaker 1: does take some licks. Now, how will be he be
23:39
Speaker 1: able to handle the long term grind of this? How
23:42
Speaker 1: many years are left in this big body of his? Well, JP,
23:45
Speaker 1: I mean, so far he has shown zero signs of
23:49
Speaker 1: slowing downs. He does a great job off the field.
23:52
Speaker 1: He's six ft three ish, okay, and he's two fifty pounds,
23:59
Speaker 1: and that's a legitimate two fifty pounds. He reminds me
24:03
Speaker 1: a little bit. When I was in high school. We
24:05
Speaker 1: were in uh our playoff games, and I believe I was.
24:10
Speaker 1: I was a junior in high school, and so we're
24:13
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and we're playing I can't remember the
24:15
Speaker 1: name of the team, was somewhere high school football team
24:18
Speaker 1: that was somewhere from the southwest corner of Virginia. And
24:22
Speaker 1: we go to this playoff game and and they've got
24:25
Speaker 1: this running back and he's about two hundred and sixty
24:27
Speaker 1: pounds and he was just a you know, big roly
24:31
Speaker 1: poly kind of guy, but he could run. And I'll
24:34
Speaker 1: never forget the coach, coach Ed Scott, who was our
24:38
Speaker 1: great head coach at Parkview High School and Sterling, Virginia,
24:42
Speaker 1: and he's talking to the team and he's telling everybody
24:45
Speaker 1: about how our you know, are tackling plan. You know,
24:47
Speaker 1: we're gonna we're gonna take him low and we're gonna
24:50
Speaker 1: knife his legs out from underneath of him, and we're
24:52
Speaker 1: gonna make sure we fly to him and get as
24:54
Speaker 1: many people as we can get there to him. And
24:56
Speaker 1: he turns and looked at me j Penn. He goes,
24:58
Speaker 1: He goes, I'll want everybody to go low except for you, Jeff.
25:01
Speaker 1: He goes, I want you to hit him right in
25:02
Speaker 1: the mouth. Get in the game, like this guy is
25:07
Speaker 1: like a tank. So I mean, you'd like to have
25:10
Speaker 1: somebody that can hit Derrick Henry in the mouth. But
25:12
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you now, it's not gonna end up
25:14
Speaker 1: so good if you try to hit him in the mouth. No,
25:16
Speaker 1: because he's gonna hit you in the mouth with a
25:18
Speaker 1: stiff arm and you're gonna go flying about three yards.
25:20
Speaker 1: If you're a smaller guy, especially plenty ahead. There's a
25:23
Speaker 1: lot more to talk about on the Titans offense. We'll
25:26
Speaker 1: get to that coming up, and just real quick, Yeah,
25:28
Speaker 1: nobody wants to make the Derrick Henry stiff arm highlight reel.
25:33
Speaker 1: It's long already, players talk about it. Yeah, I mean,
25:36
Speaker 1: that's how good Derrick Henry stiff farm is. They literally
25:40
Speaker 1: have drills with opposing teams have drills for Derrick Henry
25:45
Speaker 1: stiff arm. You remember in years past and then they're
25:48
Speaker 1: in the Jaguars and years past, weren't the only teams
25:51
Speaker 1: that had that. They literally practice on knocking the stiff
25:54
Speaker 1: arm down to get into the framework of the body
25:57
Speaker 1: of Derrick Henry. It was was it the Josh Norman
26:00
Speaker 1: when where he kind of lines it up, he's running wide,
26:02
Speaker 1: he sees Norman coming and kind of keeps his arm
26:05
Speaker 1: in and then Norman's kind of get in there, and
26:07
Speaker 1: then he throws him across into the sideline and they're
26:11
Speaker 1: all in his face. Anyway, all right, let's avoid that
26:13
Speaker 1: this week. We're back in a moment plenty more ahead
26:15
Speaker 1: on the offense with the Titans that could have a
26:17
Speaker 1: couple of receivers back, and not just any receivers, quarterbacks
26:22
Speaker 1: playing well. They've got We've got a lot of options,
26:24
Speaker 1: and a little later we'll get into the Titans defense
26:26
Speaker 1: and what the Jaguars can do this week on the
26:29
Speaker 1: offensive side of the football. And again coming up in
26:31
Speaker 1: about thirty minutes five o'clock, it's the Urban Meyer Show

Speaker 1: stick with us right here on Tinton Excel and ninety
27:29
Speaker 1: two point five FM also here in Jacksonville to day
27:32
Speaker 1: in on Jaguars social media. Let's finish up the Titans offense.
27:36
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know about the hair styles of
27:38
Speaker 1: Julio Jones and A. J. Brown and those guys like
27:41
Speaker 1: I know Henry and that's because you're in Alabama what
27:44
Speaker 1: it is. But Julio Jones is one of the best
27:47
Speaker 1: to do it in the NFL. He was out last week,
27:50
Speaker 1: as was Brown. And if those guys are back, then
27:52
Speaker 1: that balances everything out and you give Tannehill some other
27:55
Speaker 1: weapons down the field, and that can be a real
27:58
Speaker 1: dangerous issue for this Jaguar team. Well, and it could
28:00
Speaker 1: be a dangerous issue because I mean, we saw this
28:04
Speaker 1: Jaguars team have a hard time dealing with some big
28:07
Speaker 1: plays against the Cincinnati Bengals. We saw that with the
28:10
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals. Now, for example, the Cincinnati game, he had
28:14
Speaker 1: a forty four yard of Jamar Chase and Boyd had
28:17
Speaker 1: a couple of big plays, explosive plays that happened the
28:20
Speaker 1: week before against the Cardinals. I'm trying to remember the
28:24
Speaker 1: name of the wide receiver that wasn't even a main guy,
28:27
Speaker 1: but A. J. Green had a couple of big plays
28:28
Speaker 1: against the Jaguars, So it doesn't get easy. You know.
28:33
Speaker 1: The only good thing maybe about where the Titans are
28:37
Speaker 1: at right now is that their passing game is not
28:41
Speaker 1: hitting on all cylinders and that Okay, Julio Jones didn't
28:45
Speaker 1: play last week, so is there gonna be a little
28:47
Speaker 1: bit of a ramp up time needed for him to
28:50
Speaker 1: kind of hit a stride? And you know, how good
28:52
Speaker 1: is a j Brown? What's the chemistry like with Tannehill?
28:55
Speaker 1: But I can tell you this, Tanny Hills not off
28:57
Speaker 1: to his best start as a In fact, he's off.
29:02
Speaker 1: He's off the mark. And when you have a great back,
29:06
Speaker 1: the one thing that always is a threat is play action.
29:09
Speaker 1: That's where explosive plays come. Probably the explosive plays in
29:14
Speaker 1: the league come off of play action. And if you've
29:16
Speaker 1: got the best back in the league, there's your opportunity
29:20
Speaker 1: for having those explosive plays. And so that's why I've
29:23
Speaker 1: always said this that, especially with this Jaguars defense, because
29:25
Speaker 1: they're not doing a very good job right now affecting
29:28
Speaker 1: the passer. They have to be really I mean not
29:31
Speaker 1: just okay, they have to be top notch against the run.
29:35
Speaker 1: If They're gonna try to impact the passer because that's
29:40
Speaker 1: what something that's an area they're struggling in right now. Yeah,
29:42
Speaker 1: I gotta slow that down. And then, um, yeah, what's
29:45
Speaker 1: the what's the answer to that? Is? Is it? We
29:48
Speaker 1: talked about this on a Monday show with Pete and Tony.
29:50
Speaker 1: You want to know the answer to that. I can't
29:52
Speaker 1: wait to hear this. Okay, here here's the answer. And
29:54
Speaker 1: I'm a firm believer in this. JP playing defense in
29:59
Speaker 1: the National foot Allie, stopping the run is about attitude.
30:04
Speaker 1: Stopping the pass is about talent and that if you're
30:09
Speaker 1: doing a good job against the run, because that means
30:11
Speaker 1: you're committed to it and you can scheme it up.
30:13
Speaker 1: To stop the pass, you have to have the guys
30:17
Speaker 1: that can rush the passer, and you have to have
30:19
Speaker 1: enough guys that can cover the receivers that make plays
30:22
Speaker 1: on the ball. And I will always believe that, and
30:28
Speaker 1: I think that they're they're working on it, and they
30:31
Speaker 1: added a lot of guys in free agency to address
30:35
Speaker 1: the best they could. But the reality is you're not
30:38
Speaker 1: gonna find a great pass rusher around every free agent
30:42
Speaker 1: corner because teams just typically don't let them walk. Oh,
30:46
Speaker 1: you could argue that a lot of the work they
30:49
Speaker 1: did in free agency and the offseason was to stop
30:52
Speaker 1: the run. That was priority number one. If they then
30:55
Speaker 1: they can't do anything Malcolm Brown and Robertson Harris and
31:00
Speaker 1: all those big guys in the middle. And let me
31:02
Speaker 1: let me add this to I mean they added in
31:04
Speaker 1: free agency, but I also will say that the one
31:06
Speaker 1: guy that I think is playing really well up front
31:09
Speaker 1: right now for this Jaguars football team, Adam Gotsis. Last year,
31:14
Speaker 1: I thought he was dragging the one leg that he
31:17
Speaker 1: was coming back from an injury, and I think it
31:19
Speaker 1: was an a c O possibly. You know, this is
31:22
Speaker 1: a guy that was the second round pick of the
31:24
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos, and you could see clearly at the beginning
31:27
Speaker 1: of the year last year that he just didn't have
31:29
Speaker 1: the power in the leg. Was the season war on
31:31
Speaker 1: He started to get better. This year. He looks like
31:34
Speaker 1: a little bit of a different player to me. I
31:36
Speaker 1: think he's impact in the game in a nice way.
31:38
Speaker 1: He's stout, very stout against the run. He had to
31:43
Speaker 1: sack this past game. He's got two sacks on the
31:46
Speaker 1: season now. But they need to find a way to
31:50
Speaker 1: get more people to affect the passer. Josh Allen needs
31:53
Speaker 1: to raise the level of playing. Miles Jack needs to
31:57
Speaker 1: raise his level of play. Shaq Griffin, Ray, Shawn Jenkins
32:02
Speaker 1: and these guys need to raise their level of play,
32:04
Speaker 1: because that's the only way that you can get better.
32:06
Speaker 1: Is it by individuals taking care of their job and
32:10
Speaker 1: improving on the performance of their job. I was flipping
32:14
Speaker 1: around outlogs. You think back to the Titans of about
32:17
Speaker 1: four or five years ago on defense, and Darrell Casey
32:21
Speaker 1: pops in your head. You know, he was kind of
32:23
Speaker 1: their big guy up front. He was a big guy
32:25
Speaker 1: with the teenies calves you've ever seen. But he was
32:28
Speaker 1: always an issue, right, he had calves like this bigger
32:32
Speaker 1: round and it was weird. I was like, how does
32:35
Speaker 1: a guy that's a defensive tackle that is, you know,
32:40
Speaker 1: close to three and he's got calves as big as
32:44
Speaker 1: who do we got skinny? But no, he was an issue.
32:49
Speaker 1: But now he's no long look around here. So shn
32:55
Speaker 1: Evans is their leading tackler linebacker, right, Harold Landry he's there.
33:00
Speaker 1: He's an outside linebacker. I mean, but who else is
33:05
Speaker 1: on the Simmons Simmons is up front. Simmons is a
33:08
Speaker 1: good player, and he's a he's a force, can be
33:11
Speaker 1: a force in the middle um. But they just you know, there,
33:14
Speaker 1: that's a defense that it was kind of similar to
33:16
Speaker 1: the Jaguarson that they're They're still trying to find more
33:20
Speaker 1: talent and some of the talent that they have had
33:22
Speaker 1: has just kind of been okay. And they've trust me,
33:25
Speaker 1: They've they swung many times at and I think John
33:29
Speaker 1: Robinson does a really good job with that football team,
33:32
Speaker 1: the general manager there. I like some of the things
33:34
Speaker 1: that he's done. I think he does a pretty good job.
33:38
Speaker 1: And uh, but sometimes it takes time to build talent.
33:42
Speaker 1: And much like here with Trent Balky and Urban Meyer
33:46
Speaker 1: taking over, they can't change this defense instantly by the
33:52
Speaker 1: snap of a finger in one year of a draft,
33:54
Speaker 1: in free agency, it takes a little bit of time.
33:57
Speaker 1: You got to have free agent guys impacted, and you
34:00
Speaker 1: also have to be able to address your defense through
34:02
Speaker 1: the lifeblood of any franchise, which is the draft. And
34:05
Speaker 1: right now they haven't gotten a lot of production out
34:08
Speaker 1: of the defensive pick yet, and hopefully in the future
34:13
Speaker 1: those guys will all continue to get better and improve
34:17
Speaker 1: and start having an impact for this defense. The Jaguars
34:21
Speaker 1: offense mixed in some more that read option run with
34:25
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence last week, of course, hand the ball off
34:27
Speaker 1: a bunch to to James Robinson in the first half
34:30
Speaker 1: against Cincinnati. They got away from it in the second
34:32
Speaker 1: half a little bit and couldn't run the ball effectively
34:36
Speaker 1: in the in the second part of that game. But
34:38
Speaker 1: you know that that feels like it's what it's gonna be.
34:41
Speaker 1: I mean, Trevor's I think running the football now about six, eight, nine,
34:46
Speaker 1: ten times a game. Ten might be a little heavy,
34:48
Speaker 1: but just to mix it in there and kind of
34:51
Speaker 1: keep him comfortable and keep the defense off balance that
34:54
Speaker 1: read option, maybe an option down to their goal line,
34:56
Speaker 1: but maybe not in fourth and one. Again, you know
34:58
Speaker 1: that I think that's going to be. It is moving
35:00
Speaker 1: ahead at least that's the feeling just seen at the
35:02
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. Mixican and more and more with
35:04
Speaker 1: Trevor Well. I mean, first of all, it's it's always
35:07
Speaker 1: it can always be good, and it makes it easier
35:10
Speaker 1: for an offensive coordinator if the quarterback has the threat
35:13
Speaker 1: of mobility, because it makes them account for the quarterback
35:17
Speaker 1: as a runner, which is the whole purpose of the
35:20
Speaker 1: read option. A lot of times in the national football
35:23
Speaker 1: if you have a classic drop that quarterback that doesn't
35:26
Speaker 1: have the ability to run, Okay, now you're not accounting
35:27
Speaker 1: for him being a runner. And it's different when when
35:31
Speaker 1: because Trevor has the ability to run the football. And
35:33
Speaker 1: it was I think a season high far as the
35:35
Speaker 1: number of carries goes against the Bengals, and he did
35:38
Speaker 1: a good job for the most part. You know, when
35:40
Speaker 1: he had that touchdown rushing on that drive that he had,
35:42
Speaker 1: I was I think it was a seven yard touchdown run.
35:46
Speaker 1: That was a really good one on one move that
35:48
Speaker 1: he had against the defensive ental how State got Hubbard's
35:53
Speaker 1: sliding around and it was it was an excellent play
35:56
Speaker 1: design and a great one on one move that Trevor had.
35:59
Speaker 1: In fact, we're gonna he drawing this one up. Oh yeah,
36:02
Speaker 1: I like it for I love it. Tomorrow night on
36:06
Speaker 1: Jack's Ward and then on Jack's Wired Jags Ward. That's
36:11
Speaker 1: on Fox, Fox Fox, What's seven seven seven on Fox
36:18
Speaker 1: thirty tomorrow, thank you, thank you, Dave to Campe would
36:21
Speaker 1: be tomorrow so uh and then on Thursday for Jaguars
36:24
Speaker 1: All Access, We're actually gonna take a look at James
36:27
Speaker 1: Robinson's first touchdown. If I was to give you seven
36:32
Speaker 1: guesses of who got the key block? Seven guesses jp
36:37
Speaker 1: who got the key block on James Robinson's first touchdown run? Go?
36:42
Speaker 1: Uh the new tight end, Dan Arnold, No, Cam Robinson? Uh,
36:50
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. No, how about the right tackle Jawan Taylor?
36:55
Speaker 1: Give me, Marvin Jones, give me Jamal Hagney actually got
36:59
Speaker 1: it on the fifth Really, Marvin Jones, German Jones, all right,
37:02
Speaker 1: gets the key block on a j rob touch? Does
37:07
Speaker 1: what he gave it to you in your ear? No,
37:08
Speaker 1: not at all. That's honest truth. That's the honest truth. No. Never,
37:13
Speaker 1: Brent Reaber would not. He didn't thank you. Okay, he
37:17
Speaker 1: got it, he got it. But I mean he's a
37:19
Speaker 1: he's a team guy. You know, you need a guy
37:21
Speaker 1: to do everything. He's a good route runner, he's a
37:23
Speaker 1: reliable security blanket for the quarterback in the passing game,
37:26
Speaker 1: and he's running run blocking. Now, tune in and Jaguar
37:29
Speaker 1: is all access to see it. I love it. I
37:31
Speaker 1: can't wait to see that. We're back in a moment
37:34
Speaker 1: plenty more ahead. The injury report a couple of guys

Speaker 1: A for the benefits you've earned. Visit choose dot b
38:46
Speaker 1: A dot CoV j P Shadrick, Jeff Logman. Glad you're
38:50
Speaker 1: along with us. You know. Was during that commercial time
38:53
Speaker 1: out there was one that ran from Alert Today Florida
38:56
Speaker 1: Right the walking Safely on the Road and bicycle safety
39:00
Speaker 1: on that. We did a an event today. It was
39:02
Speaker 1: walked to School Day with the Jaguars at Biscayne Elementary School.
39:06
Speaker 1: It was a virtual event where we go in on
39:09
Speaker 1: zoom in these in the classrooms. It's kindergarten, the second grade.
39:13
Speaker 1: And it was myself and Ben Bartch Jaguars now right guard.
39:18
Speaker 1: Who's going to get significant playing time with the A.
39:21
Speaker 1: J can going to I R. He will be the
39:23
Speaker 1: starting right guard. And Ben was fantastic with the kids.
39:26
Speaker 1: He's if you've ever had a conversation with him, you're
39:28
Speaker 1: gonna hear from him a little bit more. Now it
39:30
Speaker 1: sounds like moving ahead with what's going on with A J.
39:33
Speaker 1: Cann and now in the second year, trying to come
39:35
Speaker 1: along and this is a way to come along, jump
39:37
Speaker 1: in the lineup. Well, he was a small college guy St.
39:40
Speaker 1: John's and in fact, had a conversation with general manager
39:45
Speaker 1: Trent Balky back in the preseason about it. He thought
39:47
Speaker 1: that he was vastly improved, and I was not quite
39:51
Speaker 1: the believer yet at that point, but Trent felt very
39:54
Speaker 1: confident and Trent's been right. I mean he I think
39:58
Speaker 1: he's played very well, so are he had an issue
40:01
Speaker 1: last year At times Ben Barts did with his feet
40:04
Speaker 1: trying to keep up with everything, and that when he
40:06
Speaker 1: would make contact. Sometimes sometimes we always say, hey, you
40:10
Speaker 1: gotta be able to walk and talk and chew gum
40:11
Speaker 1: at the same time. Well, when you're being an offensive
40:14
Speaker 1: line and you have to be able to use your hands,
40:17
Speaker 1: and then your hands maybe in one position, but your
40:19
Speaker 1: feet need to continue to move. And sometimes Ben's feet
40:23
Speaker 1: kind of just stopped and then that got him into trouble.
40:26
Speaker 1: But he has improved vastly and I think he has
40:29
Speaker 1: made a big stride forward and I think he's ready
40:32
Speaker 1: for this. Let's take a look at the Jaguars injury
40:35
Speaker 1: report presented by Baptist Health changing Healthcare for Good. These
40:39
Speaker 1: were Monday transactions. Walker Little activated from the reserve COVID
40:45
Speaker 1: nineteen list. That's good news. And then the wide receiver
40:48
Speaker 1: d J. Chark Jr. And a J can the right
40:51
Speaker 1: guard placed on injured reserve. They do not have to
40:53
Speaker 1: place a designation on the i R. It could be
40:56
Speaker 1: to return, it could be for the year. It just depends.
40:58
Speaker 1: It has to be three weeks at least. So Chart
41:01
Speaker 1: it sounds like it's a bit more than that with
41:03
Speaker 1: a fractured ankle a J can with an mc L
41:05
Speaker 1: issue according to Urban Meyers. So there you go. You
41:08
Speaker 1: gotta have somebody step up a receiver and and then
41:10
Speaker 1: Bart steps in it guard was a knee correct and
41:14
Speaker 1: then Chart, I mean fractured. I mean typically six to
41:17
Speaker 1: eight weeks is what you're talking about. And that's I mean,
41:21
Speaker 1: that's just kind of a standard fracture. So I mean,
41:24
Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor, but I play one on television.
41:26
Speaker 1: Sometimes you do. You've you've been cut out enough times
41:30
Speaker 1: to might have more knowledge than that. I have not
41:36
Speaker 1: very knock on would because I might walk out of
41:38
Speaker 1: this room. And I broke my right tibia in college
41:43
Speaker 1: in a practice and I got leg whipped and I
41:47
Speaker 1: had a cast from the toes all the way up
41:49
Speaker 1: to the to the growing and uh we had at
41:53
Speaker 1: the time at the University of Virginia, one of the
41:55
Speaker 1: greatest hand surgeons in the country and very highly respected
41:58
Speaker 1: the late doctor Frank MQ who was unbelievable, unbelievable surgeon.
42:04
Speaker 1: And uh, I ended up getting my cast and then
42:09
Speaker 1: they took me to his house where I stayed for
42:11
Speaker 1: a couple of days and his wife would feed me.
42:13
Speaker 1: I mean, I I was hurting. So, I mean, I
42:15
Speaker 1: hope DJ is okay, because I mean, when you break
42:18
Speaker 1: a bone, I mean, I can that can hurt now,
42:20
Speaker 1: I mean it hurt bad. I don't know if if
42:22
Speaker 1: it requires surgery. I mean, I haven't heard anything of
42:25
Speaker 1: that nature. But unfortunately got rolled up on front behind
42:28
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's trying to block and here comes,
42:31
Speaker 1: you know, the pile of people, the massive bodies chasing
42:34
Speaker 1: I think it was James Robinson and they all fall
42:37
Speaker 1: on the back of d J. Chark and uh, it
42:39
Speaker 1: didn't look good when the car came out. Hate it
42:41
Speaker 1: for him, obviously, it's a contract year for him in
42:43
Speaker 1: a big moment. He was trying to get things going
42:45
Speaker 1: in the passing game too, and then it was a
42:47
Speaker 1: little slow starting there. So let's let's get him healthy
42:50
Speaker 1: and then figure out what happens. I think it's a
42:52
Speaker 1: great question is now, now what you know, what do
42:56
Speaker 1: you do? You have? You have guys that are on
42:59
Speaker 1: the active roster? Can they fulfill the role of DJ?
43:01
Speaker 1: Not that DJ was lights out, but I mean this
43:03
Speaker 1: was a guy that Trevor was hoping that he could
43:05
Speaker 1: start to develop more chemistry with. Trevor felt that Marvin
43:09
Speaker 1: Jones Jr. Was already considered a quote security blanket because
43:13
Speaker 1: they worked together. Leavisca coming off his best game and uh,
43:18
Speaker 1: and he's nicked up a little bit. You can tell
43:20
Speaker 1: it looks like maybe an ankle that's bothering him a
43:22
Speaker 1: little bit. And so who can fill that role? Can
43:25
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin does do they elevate somebody? They've got five
43:29
Speaker 1: wide receivers on the practice squad. Tyron Johnson is around two.
43:32
Speaker 1: Who hasn't. Yeah, I mean they've got you know, they
43:34
Speaker 1: got guys on the active rosters about something that say
43:36
Speaker 1: they we've been told that they can run, but it's
43:38
Speaker 1: far hard for us to tell because we haven't seen
43:40
Speaker 1: much of them. But I mean that's a very position
43:44
Speaker 1: heavy load on the practice squad when you have five
43:48
Speaker 1: wide receivers out of what is it a sixteen man
43:51
Speaker 1: practice squad with COVID rules. That's a lot. I mean,
43:54
Speaker 1: that's nearly a third of your practice squad are wide
43:57
Speaker 1: receivers that ought to tell you what they think about
44:00
Speaker 1: that position group as a whole. That's the look at
44:03
Speaker 1: the jury report presented by Baptist Health, changing healthcare for good. Now,
44:07
Speaker 1: let's look at the a f C South standings through
44:09
Speaker 1: week number four, and the Tennessee Titans lead the way
44:13
Speaker 1: at two and two, Houston at one in three, indian
44:17
Speaker 1: one and three, the Jaguars at the bottom at oh
44:20
Speaker 1: and four. And how about this, If the Jaguars win Sunday,
44:24
Speaker 1: they're a game out of first place. Think about that
44:26
Speaker 1: for a while. It's a big game though, I mean
44:28
Speaker 1: it's a big game away. I'm just saying. Indianapolis got
44:33
Speaker 1: their first victory the this past Sunday, and a lot
44:37
Speaker 1: of question marks with with them in their quarterback in
44:39
Speaker 1: Houston and has a rookie quarterback play and so you
44:43
Speaker 1: know that the air is not exactly pointing up for them.
44:46
Speaker 1: And so yes, if the Jaguars take care of business
44:49
Speaker 1: this Sunday at home against the Tennessee Titans, you at
44:53
Speaker 1: least get back in the conversation, and that would be
44:57
Speaker 1: a great thing. If not then continues, it would be
45:01
Speaker 1: twenty in a row for the Jags and all and
45:02
Speaker 1: five starts, So let's think positively. I'm looking at these
45:05
Speaker 1: other divisions. It's like the f C North, Pittsburgh stinks
45:09
Speaker 1: and everybody else is three and one, and Pittsburgh still
45:12
Speaker 1: has players on their team. Right there, it's not looking great. Well,
45:15
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I mean Ben Roethlsberger is not playing well,
45:19
Speaker 1: that's right. And I've watched the film on them, and
45:22
Speaker 1: a lot of people may attribute that that they're not
45:24
Speaker 1: that good around him anymore. I can tell you this,
45:28
Speaker 1: it's not. I mean, that's not the only issue. Ben
45:30
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger is not playing well. And I'm looking at the
45:32
Speaker 1: a f C West. You've got Chargers, Denver, Vegas all
45:35
Speaker 1: three and one, now Kansas City at two and two.
45:38
Speaker 1: And that's a great division right there. That that division
45:41
Speaker 1: right there is is the the elite I think of
45:43
Speaker 1: the AFC conferences. Yeah, and then we can go to
45:46
Speaker 1: the NFC. But Arizona is kind of leading the way
45:48
Speaker 1: in the West. That's another good battles conference. Tampa Bay
45:52
Speaker 1: and Carolina both three and one in the NFC South,
45:55
Speaker 1: and here we go, NFC East actually has a team
45:58
Speaker 1: with a winning record, So you see how long that?
46:00
Speaker 1: How about them? How about them? Zekiel he has gotten
46:02
Speaker 1: on a role. So uh, it's uh, it's gonna be.
46:05
Speaker 1: So far, it's been a great season, I think as
46:07
Speaker 1: far as like from watching the league from a league standpoint,
46:11
Speaker 1: and uh, and I just hope that this Jaguars football
46:13
Speaker 1: team can can break the streak so that that's a
46:17
Speaker 1: one o'clock kickoff time the Titans and the Jaguars Sunday
46:20
Speaker 1: at t I a bank Field two and two Titans
46:22
Speaker 1: and first place, he going four Jaguars also in the
46:25
Speaker 1: division Sunday one o'clock kickoff time in Houston as the
46:29
Speaker 1: Texans host the Patriots, both teams at one and three
46:33
Speaker 1: to start the season. The Indianapolis Colts play on Monday
46:37
Speaker 1: Night Football next week in Baltimore, the Colts and the Ravens.
46:40
Speaker 1: The Ravens at three and one. That's an eight fifteen
46:43
Speaker 1: Eastern times start on Monday night. Yeah. I don't think
46:46
Speaker 1: Colts bi able to do much. And that's so confident
46:49
Speaker 1: in that No, no, and Tom Brady is gonna take
46:53
Speaker 1: the Texans to school. I mean, after having I Tom
46:57
Speaker 1: Brady the Patriots, was the Patriots are going to Patrick.
47:02
Speaker 1: I thought you said, where's Tampa going? You said, I
47:04
Speaker 1: don't know in the division? I thought you said the
47:06
Speaker 1: Bucks were going somewhow they're hosting the Dolphins. Oh, they're
47:09
Speaker 1: not in the a f C South. I still confused,
47:11
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, And were you not let me ask you
47:15
Speaker 1: a question for real when you were watching the game
47:17
Speaker 1: on Sunday night? Yeah, were you not confused a little bit?
47:22
Speaker 1: It was a little different. It was weird. You couldn't
47:26
Speaker 1: watch any of the build up to the game, not
47:28
Speaker 1: knowing who Tom played for it who used Well, I
47:31
Speaker 1: didn't watch any of the build up, And of course
47:32
Speaker 1: I'm I'm rooting for Mac Jones because you know, he's
47:35
Speaker 1: a he's a local guy and watched him play high
47:38
Speaker 1: school football and so it was rooting for him. But
47:40
Speaker 1: it was just weird. I was like, wait, seeing Tom
47:42
Speaker 1: Brady and then he's thinking he's in the Patriots uniform
47:45
Speaker 1: and he's not. That that was different now, I mean
47:48
Speaker 1: I was you're asking me if I'm confused Sunday night.
47:51
Speaker 1: I was confused. It turned out to be a fantastic
47:54
Speaker 1: football game, though it wasn't the high scoring up and
47:56
Speaker 1: down pinball machine game. But you know, there came down
47:59
Speaker 1: to a fee will go at the end that hit
48:01
Speaker 1: the upright field goal at the end. And then it
48:04
Speaker 1: was good to hear that Belichick and Brady had a
48:08
Speaker 1: moment in the locker room after the game, because life
48:13
Speaker 1: is too short to have any kind of issues between people,
48:17
Speaker 1: and those two had a beautiful relationship for twenty years.
48:22
Speaker 1: And I know that there are some things that were
48:24
Speaker 1: recently said by Tom Brady's trainer and a lot of
48:28
Speaker 1: things that have been insinuated, and that Belichick never told
48:32
Speaker 1: Tom Brady goodbye kind of in person, which is a
48:34
Speaker 1: damn shame. But I'm glad to see that those two,
48:38
Speaker 1: just like Jimmy Johnson and Jerry john john it's good
48:41
Speaker 1: to see. Life's too short for those kind of things.
48:43
Speaker 1: It's great to see those guys on the desk together
48:45
Speaker 1: at the Hall of Fame and trim and ceremony and
48:47
Speaker 1: all that and going through all the great Cowboys days. So, uh,
48:51
Speaker 1: there you have it. We are about a minute away
48:54
Speaker 1: or so from the Urban Meyers Show, and plenty to
48:57
Speaker 1: discuss today. With the head coach lives Well, I mean
49:00
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's been a little bit embarrassing for the organization.
49:02
Speaker 1: I mean there's no way around that, and uh, and
49:06
Speaker 1: there's a lot of work to do, I think from
49:08
Speaker 1: that standpoint, and make no mistake about it, there's plenty
49:11
Speaker 1: of work to do, plenty of work and some time
49:14
Speaker 1: to get it done. The Jaguars, though the clock is
49:17
Speaker 1: ticking for this week five game against the Tennessee Titans
49:20
Speaker 1: coming up Sunday at t i A A Bank field,
49:23
Speaker 1: a lot to get through. They'll be back on the
49:25
Speaker 1: practice field tomorrow and we'll discuss all of that coming
49:28
Speaker 1: up with head coach Urban Meyer in just a few minutes.
49:32
Speaker 1: Thanks to Dave to Candice for stepping in today. Joe
49:35
