- 1:01Speaker 1: has to say. We'll get his final thoughts and see
- 1:04Speaker 1: maybe what was going through his mind on those field goals.
- 1:07Speaker 1: So they were in the air, the last two of
- 1:09Speaker 1: them at tatt To Matspur Stadium last Sunday. Jeff Lockerman
- 1:14Speaker 1: with US now Jaguars analysts and it all just looks, feels, smells.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Is different after you win a football game, well, I
- 1:24Speaker 1: think from the standpoint of the team, you get joy.
- 1:27Speaker 1: You know, you get to validate why why you work
- 1:29Speaker 1: so hard and and as Bill parcel As you say
- 1:32Speaker 1: on that the great NFL Films moment, because that's why
- 1:35Speaker 1: you lift all them damn wags and why you sweat
- 1:38Speaker 1: and you do this and you do that. You know
- 1:40Speaker 1: it's a win because that's why you're paid to plays
- 1:44Speaker 1: to win football games. And very happy for this football team.
- 1:47Speaker 1: It it helps give you a little bit of validation
- 1:49Speaker 1: that your hard work is not all for nothing. And
- 1:53Speaker 1: uh and and very proud of the way they got
- 1:56Speaker 1: the victory because I thought that the game could have
- 2:01Speaker 1: at any moment in the second half when you had
- 2:03Speaker 1: some bad things happened to where you you turn the
- 2:06Speaker 1: ball over on downs and you don't kick a field goal,
- 2:09Speaker 1: And I mean it would have been very easy for
- 2:11Speaker 1: a team that's lost twenty in a row to kind
- 2:14Speaker 1: of say, oh, here we go again, we're not gonna
- 2:16Speaker 1: be able to win. But they didn't do that. And
- 2:19Speaker 1: I think the play of the young quarterback was exceptional.
- 2:23Speaker 1: I think that's the story of the game by far.
- 2:26Speaker 1: There were so many close moments. The Jamal agnew did
- 2:30Speaker 1: he touch it or not? On the punt return that
- 2:32Speaker 1: could have really what do you think I thought first
- 2:37Speaker 1: glance that he touched it. How does the ring figure
- 2:40Speaker 1: on its own? That's an odd movement. I don't know,
- 2:44Speaker 1: but that kind of thing. And then, like you said,
- 2:46Speaker 1: the fourth and one going for it, didn't get it,
- 2:49Speaker 1: didn't get the push and couldn't get the first down.
- 2:51Speaker 1: They drive down and score, and then JAG's rally back.
- 2:54Speaker 1: They hit the sprain just fifty four yard field goal.
- 2:57Speaker 1: You'll see that twisted and turn and somehow found the
- 3:01Speaker 1: bottom right corner. It was guided, was guided, it was
- 3:05Speaker 1: something else, and then it might have been something else guided.
- 3:08Speaker 1: We'll take it. And then the fourth and one stop
- 3:11Speaker 1: Josh Allen was there first to make the play. And
- 3:13Speaker 1: then another field goal and the slider play. All that
- 3:16Speaker 1: happened in the fourth third, a slider play that was
- 3:20Speaker 1: really should be called the Pete Rose play because it
- 3:22Speaker 1: really wasn't a slider. I mean, they didn't slide like
- 3:24Speaker 1: you're supposed to. I mean really, I mean at some point,
- 3:28Speaker 1: I mean The whole concept of the slider play is
- 3:33Speaker 1: too gave a minimum game because you're not gonna be
- 3:38Speaker 1: able to gain a lot of yards. It's not like
- 3:39Speaker 1: you're looking again twenty. You're looking to gain a quick,
- 3:42Speaker 1: little chunk of yards. And then the receiver goes down
- 3:47Speaker 1: when I say goes down feet first, that's the slide,
- 3:51Speaker 1: like the old baseball feet first lock a quarterback giving
- 3:54Speaker 1: himself up. The reason why you want to go feet
- 3:57Speaker 1: first is because it's giving yourself up, so now you
- 4:01Speaker 1: can the team can use the time out when you
- 4:04Speaker 1: go head first. That's the play. You're still kind of
- 4:08Speaker 1: alive and the Dolphins make a huge mistake and we're
- 4:13Speaker 1: watching it now on our monitor. You can see that
- 4:16Speaker 1: the safety Brandon Jones touches Leviska down and Urban who
- 4:22Speaker 1: did a great job of communicating with the official on
- 4:24Speaker 1: the sideline saying, hey, look, once we get down, we
- 4:27Speaker 1: want to time out immediately. And you can see that
- 4:30Speaker 1: the official that he's standing right next to. As soon
- 4:32Speaker 1: as Levisca is touched, you know, the hands are waving
- 4:35Speaker 1: in the air to stop the game clock. And uh,
- 4:38Speaker 1: and I don't know how many times that I watched
- 4:40Speaker 1: that play on film going on thousand one, one thousand two,
- 4:43Speaker 1: one thousand three, one thousand four, and it was it
- 4:46Speaker 1: was four seconds. It wasn't like it was. It might
- 4:49Speaker 1: have been a little lesson for they got it perfect,
- 4:51Speaker 1: I mean, he said. And Daryl Bebel spoke with the
- 4:54Speaker 1: media today and you know, said, the parameters were really
- 4:58Speaker 1: stretched on that play. It's they normally don't need eight yards,
- 5:02Speaker 1: they need about five or six and they usually need
- 5:04Speaker 1: about six seconds instead of five. And they were kind of, hey,
- 5:08Speaker 1: rolling the dice. But the worst that happens there, okay,
- 5:11Speaker 1: maybe the clock runs out and you get overtime, right,
- 5:14Speaker 1: is that you lose the game in that scenario. So
- 5:17Speaker 1: they were gonna run the Haill Mary before that, and
- 5:20Speaker 1: then they had a conversation and said, well, hey, let's
- 5:22Speaker 1: try the slider play and and you know, it worked.
- 5:26Speaker 1: I mean, and give give the Jaguars credit that the
- 5:28Speaker 1: Dolphins were playing and we're gonna actually look at this
- 5:33Speaker 1: in the football Lab on Jack's Wire this week on
- 5:36Speaker 1: Wednesday night on foxt This the way that they defensed it.
- 5:42Speaker 1: They had two guys all the way back at the
- 5:45Speaker 1: goal line and then they had everybody else was underneath.
- 5:49Speaker 1: But everybody was. They were playing man, which is kind
- 5:53Speaker 1: of surprising, and then they had everybody playing outside leverage
- 5:57Speaker 1: for their men. Laviska, the guy, the safety that was
- 6:01Speaker 1: in the middle, he was essentially just kind of a
- 6:04Speaker 1: free player, and which is Jones, the guy that touched
- 6:07Speaker 1: Lavisca down. He really didn't have any responsibility because you
- 6:10Speaker 1: had a defensive back over on the outside of Laviska.
- 6:14Speaker 1: So they're playing for maybe a quick out route which
- 6:17Speaker 1: you know you could drow and then receiver goes out
- 6:20Speaker 1: because if it's if a players tackled in the middle
- 6:22Speaker 1: of the field or whatever, then it could end up delaying,
- 6:26Speaker 1: you know, the possible. So Brian Floors I thought played
- 6:28Speaker 1: it smartly, thinking that they're gonna go to the perimeter
- 6:31Speaker 1: to to get the clock stop. And the Jaguars I
- 6:35Speaker 1: think got very fortunate, very fortunate that Jones touches Laviska
- 6:40Speaker 1: and uh because a lot of things got to go
- 6:42Speaker 1: right on that play. And credit to the quarterback. He
- 6:44Speaker 1: got rid of the ball quick and made it happen
- 6:47Speaker 1: because a lot of quarterbacks would be like unsure and
- 6:49Speaker 1: he was just I mean, bam, there it is. It
- 6:52Speaker 1: sounded like they've done it a lot in practice over
- 6:54Speaker 1: the weeks, just trying plays similar to that, situations like that,
- 6:58Speaker 1: and it comes up in a game and they finally
- 7:00Speaker 1: got to go through with it. You everybody's excited for
- 7:03Speaker 1: the win, and rightly so. Um I think I'm most
- 7:08Speaker 1: excited about it because you're not flirting with history anymore.
- 7:13Speaker 1: The losing skit is over twenty games. I know these
- 7:17Speaker 1: guys have been working their tails off and all that.
- 7:19Speaker 1: We will hear from Coach Meyer coming up in just
- 7:22Speaker 1: a little bit about all of that. But you know
- 7:25Speaker 1: it was in the NFL. You're here to win football games,
- 7:29Speaker 1: and when you do it almost at a record streak,
- 7:33Speaker 1: it's not good for any part of the organization, certainly
- 7:35Speaker 1: not the to the to the opposite of what the
- 7:38Speaker 1: objective is. That's right, and that that that puts everything
- 7:42Speaker 1: in your whole organization um at risk. That's a problem.
- 7:46Speaker 1: I mean, you're because and it permeates through the entire
- 7:49Speaker 1: from the football side, I think through the business, ticketing side, sponsorship,
- 7:53Speaker 1: all these people that are supporting the football side of things.
- 7:57Speaker 1: It's over now, I think that's the most important thing,
- 7:59Speaker 1: and you can focus on the next week ahead, refresh
- 8:02Speaker 1: a little bit Okay, Jags have won a game. They're
- 8:05Speaker 1: trying to get better. They have some things to work on,
- 8:07Speaker 1: but that's the boat for me, at least, the best
- 8:10Speaker 1: feeling of all. Well, the streak is over, but the
- 8:12Speaker 1: quest to be a consistent winner is not. That's that
- 8:15Speaker 1: that that This team's got a long way to go
- 8:18Speaker 1: before it gets to that. But I think the I'm
- 8:21Speaker 1: gonna go back to this and say this again. In
- 8:24Speaker 1: order to do that, you have to have a quarterback.
- 8:27Speaker 1: And I think that that game, right there was an
- 8:30Speaker 1: exceptional game by a young quarterback. I'm talking exceptional, and
- 8:34Speaker 1: I think there were many moments in that ball game
- 8:36Speaker 1: that those around him weren't playing to his level. In
- 8:40Speaker 1: other words, they need to play better for this team
- 8:44Speaker 1: to be better. Numerous instance, how many drops did we
- 8:47Speaker 1: have in the ball game? Okay, some of those drops
- 8:52Speaker 1: we're just flat out drops. There was also some balls
- 8:55Speaker 1: that got batted down because the receivers aren't coming back
- 8:58Speaker 1: to the ball. I mean, that's the one thing I
- 9:02Speaker 1: think that young players and you got to coach him up.
- 9:07Speaker 1: Young players in the league don't understand is that in
- 9:09Speaker 1: college quarterback throws the ball and it's on its way
- 9:13Speaker 1: and and then the receiver would just kind of sit
- 9:15Speaker 1: there and wait, No, you can't do that in the NFL.
- 9:17Speaker 1: You gotta come back to the ball because they talk
- 9:20Speaker 1: about how windows are so much smaller in the National
- 9:23Speaker 1: Football either smaller because the defensive backs and everybody's faster,
- 9:28Speaker 1: so you have to be able to adjust. And I
- 9:30Speaker 1: think the wide receivers need to do a much better
- 9:33Speaker 1: job of coming back to the ball. Dan Arnold had
- 9:36Speaker 1: one didn't come back to the ball on a scramble
- 9:38Speaker 1: by Trevor Lawrence down in the pocket. Trevor was making
- 9:42Speaker 1: what do they call that, making chicken soup out of
- 9:46Speaker 1: chicken something. Yeah, he was making something good out of
- 9:50Speaker 1: the play and Arnold sits down and he's waiting for
- 9:52Speaker 1: the ball like fifteen eighteen yards and he's just sitting there. Well,
- 9:57Speaker 1: that gives the defensive act time to come back and react.
- 10:00Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta come back. And if you come
- 10:02Speaker 1: back and get it, you got a great play. And
- 10:05Speaker 1: that's my point about how there's some people around Trevor
- 10:08Speaker 1: that need to start elevating their level of play because
- 10:11Speaker 1: he's making it possible for them to do so. It's uh,
- 10:15Speaker 1: it was a good start though to get that victory.
- 10:18Speaker 1: And you know, we can go through it all kinds
- 10:20Speaker 1: of ways, and we will over the next fifty minutes
- 10:22Speaker 1: or so here on Jaguars Happy Hour. UM. Let's continue
- 10:26Speaker 1: on offense though, and the run game continued to be
- 10:29Speaker 1: a strong point for this Jags team. James Robinson put
- 10:33Speaker 1: together a solid day of work. Most of his time
- 10:37Speaker 1: carrying the football was in the second half of last
- 10:40Speaker 1: week's game. He had a touchdown early, a one yard score.
- 10:43Speaker 1: There he is with that four point three average. Again,
- 10:45Speaker 1: he's now sixth in the league in rushing yardage. And
- 10:49Speaker 1: if you look at the first six, three of them
- 10:53Speaker 1: are in the a f C South by the way,
- 10:55Speaker 1: the three of the six rushing leaders. Um, but look
- 11:00Speaker 1: at the the the amount of carries that Derrick Henry
- 11:03Speaker 1: has to lead the way in the NFL so far,
- 11:06Speaker 1: He's got a hundred and sixty two carries, seven hundred
- 11:09Speaker 1: eighty three yards. Right, it's still a great average four
- 11:11Speaker 1: point eight. And what is uh, what is it Jonathan
- 11:13Speaker 1: Taylor in Indianapolis, how many carries? This tailor has got
- 11:16Speaker 1: eighty seven for four seventy two. James Robinson's got eighty
- 11:20Speaker 1: four for four sixty. Henry's got twice as many carries
- 11:25Speaker 1: as these guys. I mean, it's it's pretty remarkable. Yeah,
- 11:27Speaker 1: he's a different level, different offense, different things JP do.
- 11:31Speaker 1: When James gets the ball, He's still effective on average
- 11:34Speaker 1: as much at least as Henry first and foremost. Uh,
- 11:39Speaker 1: Derrick Henry is uh otherworldly. I mean that's the only
- 11:44Speaker 1: way to describe it. I mean some of the things
- 11:45Speaker 1: that he's doing. I mean he's doing it year in
- 11:47Speaker 1: and year out, and and he's basically carrying that Tennessee
- 11:49Speaker 1: football team on his back. Yeah's that's right. He is.
- 11:53Speaker 1: He's carrying him on the back on his back. And
- 11:56Speaker 1: he got a new contract. But is he is he
- 12:00Speaker 1: he's still underpaid? Oh yeah, yeah, he's still underpaid. James
- 12:06Speaker 1: Robinson's definitely underpaid. He's still on an undrafted rookie deal,
- 12:11Speaker 1: probably making somewhere around minimum and uh and as good
- 12:16Speaker 1: as he is U at some point he's gonna make
- 12:18Speaker 1: a lot more money because he's a really good back.
- 12:21Speaker 1: And what I love about him is that he's just
- 12:25Speaker 1: he's so smart. He's got great vision, he's efficient with
- 12:30Speaker 1: with his footwork. How many times did we see him?
- 12:34Speaker 1: Because the Miami Dolphins were coming up now to stop him.
- 12:36Speaker 1: Now they were they were they were aggressive, really aggressive
- 12:41Speaker 1: in their defense, put a lot of guys line of
- 12:43Speaker 1: scrimmage to stop him, also to try to pressure Trevor Lawrence,
- 12:48Speaker 1: and James Robinson was able to power through a lot
- 12:52Speaker 1: of guys that had him tackled for no gain or
- 12:54Speaker 1: minus yardage. And I'm talking like carrying guys for a
- 12:58Speaker 1: game of three and a half when he should have
- 12:59Speaker 1: been a Most backs that were that our average in
- 13:03Speaker 1: this league would have been tackled for a no gainer
- 13:05Speaker 1: or a one yard game. And he's gaining three and
- 13:07Speaker 1: four yards. That's how good he is. So I love him.
- 13:12Speaker 1: I think that the more that that this offense continues
- 13:17Speaker 1: to work with Trevor Lawrence and these receivers, and more
- 13:20Speaker 1: efficient they get, the better they get it third down,
- 13:23Speaker 1: because that's not a very good area for them right now.
- 13:26Speaker 1: You're bad on Sunday. The better they get in that area,
- 13:29Speaker 1: the more carries that James Robinson will see, and the
- 13:33Speaker 1: ability of an offensive line to kind of take control
- 13:37Speaker 1: of a game will be able to occur because you're
- 13:40Speaker 1: keeping the chains moving and bet stacking some plays together.
- 13:44Speaker 1: When we return, we'll flip it around to the defensive
- 13:47Speaker 1: sidelins and get your take on what the Jags defense
- 13:49Speaker 1: had to offer Sunday. Well, they got a lot of
- 13:52Speaker 1: work to do, JP, but we've got a lot of
- 13:55Speaker 1: show left. They got they got a lot of work
- 13:57Speaker 1: to do on that side of the ball. And I
- 13:58Speaker 1: and and I'm gonna be just give you a little
- 14:00Speaker 1: snapshot here. I don't think all of it can be
- 14:02Speaker 1: done this year. I mean, that's what they're gonna have
- 14:03Speaker 1: to fight and cratch and sqlaw and claw cratching. You
- 14:11Speaker 1: must have dinner on the mind. We'll take a time
- 14:14Speaker 1: out and come back defensive talk, cratching slaw. When we
- 14:17Speaker 1: come back, it's Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Hard

- 14:56Speaker 1: wouldn't be a bad week for a concert. Right at
- 14:58Speaker 1: Daily's Place, the schedule is starting to cool down a
- 15:02Speaker 1: bit for the fall. These are the final three shows
- 15:05Speaker 1: scheduled October twenty three. Little Big Town, It's coming up
- 15:08Speaker 1: in a few days. Came Brown two nights November twelve,
- 15:12Speaker 1: tickets at Daily's Place dot com. Well, the weather is
- 15:16Speaker 1: perfect for that kind of thing, right, I mean it
- 15:20Speaker 1: could be a touch cooler, but I mean it seems
- 15:23Speaker 1: like I'm very happy to see that we're out of
- 15:26Speaker 1: the the heat of summer. We have now approached fall weather.
- 15:32Speaker 1: Autumn is officially here, right, didn't that happened just a
- 15:35Speaker 1: week or two ago on the calendar. I don't know
- 15:37Speaker 1: how that works, man, I don't know the exact date,
- 15:40Speaker 1: and I think we are. I think it's here now,
- 15:42Speaker 1: which at least our version of it in Florida. Yeah,
- 15:45Speaker 1: whatever that is. Yet, this is what it is, basically
- 15:48Speaker 1: Victory Tuesday. Yeah, all day. It makes the weather feel better.
- 15:52Speaker 1: The weather is better. Slaw tastes incredible. I mean, you
- 15:57Speaker 1: got it's incredible. It could be on the humidity and
- 16:00Speaker 1: it would be if it would be filling perfect a
- 16:03Speaker 1: perfect weather day. Defense. Well, the rush seemed to get
- 16:09Speaker 1: closer to two. Uh, they didn't hit him, but only
- 16:12Speaker 1: three times they didn't sack him, but they affected himself.
- 16:16Speaker 1: But there was just guys running wide open in the secondary,
- 16:18Speaker 1: so he could get it out and have a lot
- 16:21Speaker 1: of success. And he really wasn't that good. Two wasn't
- 16:24Speaker 1: I mean really, I mean, he wasn't that good. And
- 16:27Speaker 1: they racked up fourred thirty one yards. I mean, think
- 16:30Speaker 1: of what what that number could have been if two
- 16:32Speaker 1: ends up making some throws like the one that he's
- 16:35Speaker 1: rolling out of the pocket to his left and he
- 16:37Speaker 1: can he can gain fifteen yards and move the sticks
- 16:41Speaker 1: on a third down and he tries to throw it,
- 16:43Speaker 1: I don't know who he's throwing it to. Do you know,
- 16:46Speaker 1: I still haven't figured it out. Had two guys and
- 16:48Speaker 1: the ball doesn't even land within like six yards of
- 16:51Speaker 1: either guy. Tap to that game, I was like, man,
- 16:55Speaker 1: I'm glad that, uh, that's not our quarterback. So but
- 16:59Speaker 1: they got a lot of work to do as a defense.
- 17:01Speaker 1: I mean they've got to uh and you know, they're
- 17:03Speaker 1: pretty good against the run, but this is a passing
- 17:05Speaker 1: league now, and to have a chance, you have to
- 17:10Speaker 1: stop the run. If you don't stop the run, then
- 17:11Speaker 1: you definitely don't have a chance in a passing league
- 17:13Speaker 1: because it makes the opponent to have the ability to
- 17:18Speaker 1: be multidimensional, and it opens up play action, which is
- 17:23Speaker 1: a big part of your chunk plays given up. At
- 17:25Speaker 1: the Jaguars defense, are there giving up some chunk plays
- 17:27Speaker 1: without play action, I mean just tight ends, well, the
- 17:32Speaker 1: tight ends. And you know, when you've had some mental
- 17:36Speaker 1: errors in the past, communication you know, you can call
- 17:39Speaker 1: it communication, you can call it Emmy's mental errors, whatever
- 17:41Speaker 1: you want to call it. But the breakdowns, you try
- 17:45Speaker 1: to clean them up as much as possible. And you're
- 17:47Speaker 1: always gonna have some mental errors in a game. You're
- 17:49Speaker 1: just you know that there's always a goal or an
- 17:51Speaker 1: objective to have a minimal amount and each coach will
- 17:55Speaker 1: have like the winning formula points giving up mental aireors
- 17:59Speaker 1: allowed per game, yards rushing allowed per game, and they
- 18:02Speaker 1: have all these different categories to see if you can
- 18:04Speaker 1: or to give you an idea of what you need
- 18:06Speaker 1: to do to have success. And right now the defense
- 18:09Speaker 1: is just there. I mean they're doing an okay job
- 18:11Speaker 1: against the run. Teams are able to put a total
- 18:16Speaker 1: number of rushing yards up. That's probably not where you
- 18:18Speaker 1: want to be just because of the number of players
- 18:20Speaker 1: are able to put together. Because the third down percentage
- 18:23Speaker 1: that they're converting at is higher, and also the passing
- 18:27Speaker 1: numbers that an opponent is having is making it difficult
- 18:31Speaker 1: on the Jaguars defense. And the intermediate route with the
- 18:34Speaker 1: tight ends was a problem in this game, and people
- 18:36Speaker 1: all say, well, you know whose fault is that? And
- 18:41Speaker 1: it just depends on the coverage. I mean, when you're
- 18:43Speaker 1: playing a zone coverage, which that's what the Jaguars are
- 18:46Speaker 1: playing more of now than they are playing. Man, it
- 18:50Speaker 1: could be a middle linebacker, it could be an outside linebacker,
- 18:55Speaker 1: it could be a safety, it could be a corner.
- 18:59Speaker 1: You just I mean, depends on the coverage. And they
- 19:02Speaker 1: were rolling a lot of guys in at linebacker. Miles
- 19:05Speaker 1: Jack is out and Damian Wilson's out there. You know
- 19:09Speaker 1: that shot quarterman was out there around and he had
- 19:14Speaker 1: he had one of one instance that the one thing
- 19:17Speaker 1: that Miami likes to run with two is a lot
- 19:19Speaker 1: of that read option look where he sticks it in
- 19:21Speaker 1: the in the belly of a running back and then
- 19:23Speaker 1: pulls it out. And the whole reason teams love to
- 19:26Speaker 1: run this RPO kind of look is because when the
- 19:29Speaker 1: quarterback sticks the ball into the stomach of a running
- 19:32Speaker 1: backs belly. The linebackers have to honor that, so they
- 19:36Speaker 1: either have to stay put or come up if they
- 19:39Speaker 1: start forward. Now, all a sudden, you've got somebody leaking
- 19:43Speaker 1: in behind him on a pass route and that's where
- 19:45Speaker 1: the quarterback is trying to throw it. So the whole
- 19:48Speaker 1: reason for sticking the ball in the running back stomach
- 19:51Speaker 1: is to pull the linebackers up to give more space
- 19:54Speaker 1: between the linebackers and the safeties or the linebackers in
- 19:58Speaker 1: the corners or nickel or whoever. Obviously, if they don't
- 20:01Speaker 1: come up, or they stay back and move back, just
- 20:03Speaker 1: hand it off and let the running back. So yeah,
- 20:05Speaker 1: and that's you know, it's it's a what do they say,
- 20:07Speaker 1: a double edged sword kind of in that uh, you know.
- 20:10Speaker 1: The great linebackers though they know it, they feel it,
- 20:13Speaker 1: They read it based on what's happening with the big picture.
- 20:17Speaker 1: They look at the offensive lineman, they look at the
- 20:21Speaker 1: quarterback his action. Some quarterbacks cannot look the same when
- 20:26Speaker 1: they hand it off versus when they pull it out
- 20:28Speaker 1: the past, basically tipping their pitches if you will, you know,
- 20:32Speaker 1: that's that's where you you gotta you know, you gotta
- 20:34Speaker 1: study and what we call. Some some coaches, some teams,
- 20:38Speaker 1: some quarterbacks have what just like baseball, what do they
- 20:41Speaker 1: call it? A tell? There's a tell in other words,
- 20:44Speaker 1: there's a clue to give you an idea of what
- 20:46Speaker 1: it's gonna be or not gonna be. So that that's
- 20:49Speaker 1: got to be cleaned up though, But right now they
- 20:53Speaker 1: have some issues to work on the secondary. You know,
- 20:57Speaker 1: you got some guys playing it. You know, probably did
- 21:00Speaker 1: an vision having to play with it when the season. No,
- 21:03Speaker 1: because one of those guys is now in Carolina and
- 21:06Speaker 1: we can go through that all day. But yeah, I
- 21:08Speaker 1: mean when Lawson wasn't on the team, he's only been
- 21:11Speaker 1: on for a few weeks. But it was his first
- 21:12Speaker 1: career interception. It's his eighth year. Congratulations to him on
- 21:16Speaker 1: the interception. But that was a gift. Yeah, that was
- 21:19Speaker 1: another moment. But that where two of throws the ball
- 21:22Speaker 1: and you go, what the world was that? What did
- 21:27Speaker 1: Joe Collins say today when he threw it, He's like,
- 21:29Speaker 1: I gott I hope we catch that, please catch it?
- 21:33Speaker 1: Did There was Dolphin fans on that play and then
- 21:37Speaker 1: the play where two it doesn't run it. Yeah, that
- 21:41Speaker 1: we're screaming some expletives. I would say I guarantee that
- 21:45Speaker 1: Josh Allen last week two weeks ago now had seven tackles,
- 21:49Speaker 1: had a half sack, two quarterback hits, had a past defense.
- 21:52Speaker 1: This week in London, he had seven more tackles, a
- 21:56Speaker 1: quarterback hit, a pass defense. But he was in on
- 21:59Speaker 1: that big fourth down in one stop in the fourth
- 22:03Speaker 1: quarter to set up the Jaguars final drive to ultimately
- 22:07Speaker 1: get the game winning field goal. He cut inside inside
- 22:11Speaker 1: that well, I guess that was the tight end that
- 22:13Speaker 1: was blocking him and got in there and made the
- 22:15Speaker 1: first hit behind the line. Yeah, because you don't have
- 22:18Speaker 1: the slider play, the London slider play, if you don't
- 22:21Speaker 1: have Josh making a play on that on that fourth
- 22:24Speaker 1: down and Smoot and and Damian Wilson, I mean all
- 22:27Speaker 1: those guys combined, but I mean you gotta have a
- 22:30Speaker 1: group effort. And it really started with the penetrator by
- 22:33Speaker 1: Josh Allen into the backfield and he beat the block
- 22:36Speaker 1: of the tight end. I got his name here smythe
- 22:41Speaker 1: and uh, excellent play by him, and I thought he
- 22:44Speaker 1: played really well overall. I wish he would have gotten
- 22:48Speaker 1: that sack on Miami's first drive where he had to
- 22:52Speaker 1: and and and that's you know, you gotta make that play.
- 22:54Speaker 1: If you're gonna be a big time player, you make
- 22:57Speaker 1: that play because that takes the Miami Dolphin out of
- 23:01Speaker 1: that drive completely. And he wasn't able to make it,
- 23:04Speaker 1: but I thought he was. He was. I thought Smooth
- 23:08Speaker 1: played well, and I thought Josh Allen played well, and
- 23:11Speaker 1: Smooth is I think. The one thing about and I
- 23:13Speaker 1: always appreciate about Smoot is that he's so consistent with
- 23:17Speaker 1: his effort and his performance weekend week out. Is he
- 23:19Speaker 1: a great player? No? Is he a good player? Yes?
- 23:22Speaker 1: Plays hard, Yes, every week gives you everything. He got. Absolutely,
- 23:25Speaker 1: he checked a lot of great boxes that you want
- 23:28Speaker 1: to have. And you just gotta find some other dogs.
- 23:32Speaker 1: I mean, some guys that can they can get after
- 23:34Speaker 1: their quarterback, and right now they don't have enough of them. Well,
- 23:39Speaker 1: and you know, next two weeks from now, the Seattle
- 23:42Speaker 1: Seahawks most likely will be without Russell Wilson and the
- 23:45Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills come to town. So there's the schedule coming up.
- 23:48Speaker 1: They've got some offenses they're going to face that have
- 23:51Speaker 1: some pieces, some weapons that they better get some guys
- 23:57Speaker 1: healthy and get back at Miles jack back Tyson Camp
- 24:00Speaker 1: will get him out another week. This this is this
- 24:02Speaker 1: is um I'm gonna say this, and I hope people
- 24:05Speaker 1: don't get upset. I mean this season is is Are
- 24:08Speaker 1: you gonna be able to fix all that this year?
- 24:10Speaker 1: I mean, JP, I mean, even if you get all
- 24:12Speaker 1: those things back, what you're talking about a couple I mean,
- 24:16Speaker 1: it doesn't change it that much. I mean, look, you
- 24:18Speaker 1: want everybody to continue to get better. Don't get me wrong,
- 24:22Speaker 1: but this is a thing that it will take an
- 24:25Speaker 1: off season to address. Whether you address it in free
- 24:28Speaker 1: agency or you address it through the draft, it's gonna take.
- 24:31Speaker 1: This takes time. But this year, in my opinion, it's
- 24:35Speaker 1: not about wins and losses. I mean, this season is
- 24:38Speaker 1: about the quarterback and his development. So as much as
- 24:43Speaker 1: I want to see this team win at the end
- 24:46Speaker 1: of the year, this is about how far did the
- 24:49Speaker 1: quarterback go as far as his advancement in the national
- 24:54Speaker 1: you know, at this level in the league. Because as
- 24:57Speaker 1: long as he continues on that rectory and this franchise
- 25:02Speaker 1: is gonna be totally fine for many years and and
- 25:07Speaker 1: they can address everything else kind of as as it
- 25:10Speaker 1: kind of rolls along. But if if you don't have
- 25:13Speaker 1: an answer to that first question, and that's the quarterback.
- 25:16Speaker 1: You've got no chance. And right now I can tell
- 25:18Speaker 1: you that that game just I don't want to say
- 25:21Speaker 1: it's cemented, but it just gave you further evidence that
- 25:25Speaker 1: this guy is the real deal and he is something special.
- 25:29Speaker 1: I mean something special. When we come back, we will
- 25:33Speaker 1: get into the kickers. Well, kicker now there's only one
- 25:37Speaker 1: on the roster after today's transaction. The Official Jaguars Podcast

- 26:19Speaker 1: Jeff Logaman. We'll get the kicking game coming up. But
- 26:22Speaker 1: just a few moments ago, Adam Schefter of ESPN putting
- 26:28Speaker 1: out a tweet. This was let's see not even ten
- 26:32Speaker 1: minutes ago. Now, says this file this under Dad of
- 26:36Speaker 1: the Year nominee Jaguars starting defensive lineman Duan Smooth unexpectedly
- 26:40Speaker 1: delivered his newborn daughter, a Lonnie Moon Smooth this morning
- 26:44Speaker 1: at four am at their home in Jacksonville, and then
- 26:47Speaker 1: puts a photo with more details to it. Uh. They
- 26:52Speaker 1: were heading out the door to the hospital, she fell
- 26:54Speaker 1: to her knees and he had to catch his wife
- 26:56Speaker 1: and then deliver the baby in his living room. The
- 26:59Speaker 1: pair medics talked him through tying the umbilical cord over
- 27:02Speaker 1: the phone. All three are doing well, mother, daughter and Dwan.
- 27:07Speaker 1: Of course he might have a heart attack, but other
- 27:09Speaker 1: than that, he's doing fine. And the full team was
- 27:13Speaker 1: informed about all of it today during the meeting. But
- 27:16Speaker 1: congratulations to Dwan Smoot and family and way to go.
- 27:20Speaker 1: Did it all at the house and way to go man, Yeah,
- 27:23Speaker 1: he's coachable, I can say so about that. What a day.
- 27:27Speaker 1: What a bye week ahead to two weeks. Two players
- 27:31Speaker 1: that have newborns that you know, um looking to Mary
- 27:35Speaker 1: Cook had their baby last week. That's an incredible story though.
- 27:39Speaker 1: That is cool man. Yes, Joe Fortunado has meant what
- 27:43Speaker 1: about mom? With no chemical enhancement? Probably right. Yeah, yeah, wow,
- 27:51Speaker 1: Hey there you go. I mean that's uh yeah, can
- 27:54Speaker 1: you imagine. Um, come on, let's go to the hospital
- 27:59Speaker 1: down and like, oh, better make a phone call real quick.
- 28:04Speaker 1: But congratulations to the Smoot family. Um, let's move along
- 28:08Speaker 1: to and on top of that, JP, he just got
- 28:11Speaker 1: back from London. Yeah I know about the timing of that. Yeah,
- 28:17Speaker 1: that's pretty incredible. Yeah right, glad they flew quickly getting
- 28:23Speaker 1: back home. Uh. Kicking game Matthew Wright. This guy a
- 28:29Speaker 1: month ago was a software engineer and literally literally was
- 28:35Speaker 1: in the high school still Lockheed Martin. He was. He
- 28:38Speaker 1: got a job right after college. They gave him a job.
- 28:40Speaker 1: They said, hey, we want to you know, see, you
- 28:43Speaker 1: still have your goal of being an NFL kicker, but
- 28:45Speaker 1: you have basically a cubicle, for lack of a better term,
- 28:48Speaker 1: here when you want it. So he's been working on
- 28:50Speaker 1: and off. He kicked for the Steelers last year and
- 28:52Speaker 1: then was drafted in the XFL before that didn't work
- 28:55Speaker 1: out whatever, So here he comes again, and all of
- 28:59Speaker 1: a sudden, a month ago he's working for Lockheed Martin.
- 29:01Speaker 1: Now he's kicking field goals, and not just field goals,
- 29:05Speaker 1: I mean bombs. Fifty four and fifty three yards. I
- 29:08Speaker 1: would say that's probably the edge of his range, let's
- 29:11Speaker 1: say it nicely that way. But they went in. They
- 29:13Speaker 1: were spectacular kicks, and now Matthew Wright is the kicker.
- 29:17Speaker 1: Josh Lambeau released today after a number of years with
- 29:20Speaker 1: the team, Thank goodness. The first kick in the game
- 29:25Speaker 1: was a forty yard or early you know, just kind
- 29:28Speaker 1: of get get that first one out of the way.
- 29:30Speaker 1: You're you're not worrying about, Okay, you know, can we
- 29:32Speaker 1: make a kick this year? Because uh, what is it, like,
- 29:36Speaker 1: the only team in the Super Bowl air it ever
- 29:39Speaker 1: go that many games without having made a field goal
- 29:41Speaker 1: kicker or something like that since I mean even earlier
- 29:44Speaker 1: than that, since the nineteen sixty two I think, yeah,
- 29:47Speaker 1: that's that's crazy. Yeah. And so it was good that
- 29:50Speaker 1: early in the game, on the first drive that you
- 29:52Speaker 1: had a manageable forty yard field goal to get the
- 29:55Speaker 1: confidence up. And uh, but kudos to him because we
- 30:01Speaker 1: didn't think, you know, we're in the broadcast, we're sitting
- 30:03Speaker 1: there thinking that his range is fifty two because the
- 30:06Speaker 1: previous week he bounces one off the crossbar like you know,
- 30:13Speaker 1: two and then all of a sudden he's lining up
- 30:15Speaker 1: for a fifty four to tie it, and you're going,
- 30:21Speaker 1: I don't know about that, and then he hit it.
- 30:24Speaker 1: It was like, oh see, we were right. Oh no,
- 30:26Speaker 1: wait a minute, it's coming back left. It's good, unbelievable.
- 30:30Speaker 1: You know they have the old bend it like Beckham thing, Well,
- 30:34Speaker 1: bend it like Matthew Wright. He bent that thing like
- 30:38Speaker 1: nobody's business. I mean that was I mean, I don't
- 30:42Speaker 1: know how many I would love it. I don't you
- 30:44Speaker 1: know how they do these sports science things. Heck did
- 30:47Speaker 1: that happen? Right? I would like to know literally the
- 30:52Speaker 1: amount of feet outside the pipe or outside the hash,
- 30:56Speaker 1: because the pipe runs right at the outside of the hash.
- 30:59Speaker 1: I mean it's got to be it's gotta be two
- 31:02Speaker 1: yards outside the I think it's I think it's at
- 31:04Speaker 1: least that's six ft. I think it's at least that.
- 31:08Speaker 1: But I mean, you know how they do that, yeah
- 31:10Speaker 1: on ESPN and all that stuff, And how the way
- 31:13Speaker 1: it was knuckling, it just kind of went back and
- 31:15Speaker 1: curved left. And here's another thing. When we do win
- 31:18Speaker 1: to the stadium, and I'd love to know this, maybe
- 31:20Speaker 1: we can get Josh Scoby or somebody in here that
- 31:23Speaker 1: could That's just what we need. More Scobe. What's wrong
- 31:27Speaker 1: with Scobe? Great? Great? Are you are you down on Scobe?
- 31:31Speaker 1: I'm not down on Scobe at all? No, I'm kidding.
- 31:33Speaker 1: I love Scobe. He's great. We've we've had a lot
- 31:35Speaker 1: of Scobe. It's a good thing. Well, the reason I'm waiting,
- 31:38Speaker 1: of course, yes, it doesn't sound like it sounds like
- 31:41Speaker 1: you got a personal rub against Josh Scobe. Let me
- 31:43Speaker 1: call Josh has a personal scrub against Scobe. I'll let
- 31:47Speaker 1: him tell the story. I don't know. Well, I guess
- 31:50Speaker 1: we'll just have to find that story out later on.
- 31:52Speaker 1: But I mean, I just don't understand why you guys
- 31:54Speaker 1: are down on Josh. Not at all. He's a great
- 31:56Speaker 1: He's one of he's the best kickers, Jackie I've ever had. Well,
- 32:00Speaker 1: you could say that Josh Lambo was no why not?
- 32:05Speaker 1: Scobe was longer? Did it for a longer period? But
- 32:09Speaker 1: accuracy wise? Okay, sure, right, But anyway, I would love
- 32:14Speaker 1: to to talk to a kicker because like when you
- 32:18Speaker 1: throw a baseball, the spin of the ball creates the movement, right,
- 32:25Speaker 1: it seems, yes, the seems in the spin yea, the
- 32:28Speaker 1: spin and the sea. If you if you had a
- 32:30Speaker 1: ball JP that didn't have seems, it can still you
- 32:33Speaker 1: can still throw a curveball. Trust me. I throw a
- 32:35Speaker 1: wicked curve with them little plastic balls that you have
- 32:38Speaker 1: the plastic bats with that's a whiffleball and bat and
- 32:41Speaker 1: they have holes in them designed to curve. No, no, no, no,
- 32:43Speaker 1: no no. The ones that I throw, they don't have
- 32:45Speaker 1: the It's not a whiffleball. Okay, it's okay. Different physics.
- 32:52Speaker 1: Just saying is that, how do you get a football
- 32:55Speaker 1: that is oblong and when you're kicking at its end
- 32:58Speaker 1: over end? How do you get the spin to make
- 33:02Speaker 1: that thing? Because when he when it leaves his leg,
- 33:05Speaker 1: it goes left and then it goes right outside and
- 33:09Speaker 1: then it comes back in. It literally went like that.
- 33:11Speaker 1: How do you do that? How does that happen? We
- 33:14Speaker 1: get Stephen Hawking on the phone or something. I have
- 33:16Speaker 1: no idea who to call. I would love esperiously. I
- 33:18Speaker 1: would love to know the physics and how do you
- 33:22Speaker 1: do that? No, he's yeah, can we get on the phone.
- 33:27Speaker 1: I don't care if JP doesn't like him. I'd like
- 33:30Speaker 1: to get Scobe on the phone. We might have to
- 33:31Speaker 1: do that at some point. Let's come back though in
- 33:33Speaker 1: a moment. We'll get to the Baptist Health injury report,
- 33:37Speaker 1: which is, you know, we got some time to work
- 33:39Speaker 1: on some guys this week. Get him back, get them healthy.
- 33:42Speaker 1: I'm not working on him. We as an organization is
- 33:45Speaker 1: what I mean the sports. What is it calledance performance?
- 33:51Speaker 1: I just wanted to make sure there's a new term now, rejuve.
- 33:57Speaker 1: I heard I heard urban use that, you know, or
- 34:00Speaker 1: and they'll get some guys in and the rejew and yeah,
- 34:03Speaker 1: and then get him going. I like that. It makes sense.
- 34:05Speaker 1: This is a good week for that back eleven games
- 34:08Speaker 1: left to go. After this, you get a couple of
- 34:09Speaker 1: days at the Spot to get ready to rock and
- 34:11Speaker 1: roll for the rest of the year. I'm just kidding
- 34:13Speaker 1: about Spot. If you're looking for the m v P
- 34:15Speaker 1: of the truck game, then look no further than four
- 34:17Speaker 1: to f one fifty. Loaded with impressive capability and designed
- 34:21Speaker 1: to dominate, work play and everything in between. This truck
- 34:25Speaker 1: makes tough look easy, no wonder. It's the official truck
- 34:27Speaker 1: of the NFL and proud partner of your Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 34:31Speaker 1: This is Jaguars Happy Hour. On the Jaguars Hard Rock
- 34:34Speaker 1: Sports Book Digital Network. Welcome back, It's Jaguars Happy Hour
- 34:51Speaker 1: on this Tuesday afternoon. J P. Shadrick, Jeff Lagerman, Go
- 34:57Speaker 1: Fortunato on the audio today, Brent Reaber on the video
- 35:00Speaker 1: A side, Glad you're along with us. We're recapping the
- 35:03Speaker 1: Jaguars win over the Miami Dolphins twenty three twenty the
- 35:07Speaker 1: final score. Well, in the last segment, we we're talking
- 35:11Speaker 1: kicking and the field goals from Matthew Wright and the
- 35:13Speaker 1: bending field goal fifty four yarder and how in the
- 35:16Speaker 1: world could that happen? Well, you said, hey, maybe let's
- 35:19Speaker 1: call Josh Scoby. Well, Josh Scoby was listening and he
- 35:22Speaker 1: called us. Josh Scoby is on the line with us now,
- 35:24Speaker 1: one of the great and Jaguar's history. Good afternoon to you, Josh.
- 35:28Speaker 1: What's up, fellas, How are you doing well? Thanks for
- 35:32Speaker 1: calling in. Were doing great. I appreciate you calling in.
- 35:34Speaker 1: I mean, I you know, I'm very surprised that JP
- 35:37Speaker 1: said that he would rather not call in. And uh,
- 35:41Speaker 1: I mean this is that We've had a lot of
- 35:42Speaker 1: Scoby over the year. Scoby, what is going on between
- 35:45Speaker 1: you and JP? What? Why is he so down on you.
- 35:48Speaker 1: I guess the one season that JP and I did
- 35:52Speaker 1: the show together that was a little bit too much
- 35:54Speaker 1: Scoby for him. So I understand. It's a full glass,
- 35:58Speaker 1: a full glass. Let's scope. Now it's a man. We're
- 36:00Speaker 1: glad to have you. Thank you for coming on. So
- 36:02Speaker 1: let's start with you're watching the game. I'm sure right,
- 36:05Speaker 1: you're you're up in the morning watching the game, and
- 36:07Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Matthew Wright comes in. A month ago,
- 36:10Speaker 1: he's a software analysts. Now he's kicking game winners in London.
- 36:14Speaker 1: That's wild. Yeah, I mean, obviously that's impressive to come in, uh,
- 36:20Speaker 1: you know, especially given the fact that he and Lambeau
- 36:23Speaker 1: were competing that week and then it, you know, three
- 36:26Speaker 1: really good field goals and especially the last two. I mean,
- 36:31Speaker 1: it's impressive for someone that doesn't have very many kicks
- 36:34Speaker 1: in the NFL under their resume. All right, So I
- 36:37Speaker 1: gotta know, like when you when you watch baseball, we're
- 36:39Speaker 1: talking about this, I'm sure you heard it when you
- 36:41Speaker 1: you know, throwing curveball and slider and sinker and you
- 36:46Speaker 1: know you got the As JP said, the seems to
- 36:48Speaker 1: help the ball spin when you kick a football it's oblong,
- 36:53Speaker 1: so there's really no spin. So why does the ball
- 36:57Speaker 1: move left or right? How in the world did that
- 37:00Speaker 1: ball leave his leg, go a little left way out
- 37:04Speaker 1: to the right, and then come back in inside the pipe. Yeah,
- 37:09Speaker 1: I mean, typically whatever it does, start out to the
- 37:12Speaker 1: left like that and then go to the right and
- 37:14Speaker 1: come back. It's because you've kind of mis hit the
- 37:17Speaker 1: ball a bit. And typically whenever I did it, I
- 37:21Speaker 1: was impacting the ball like more towards my heel, So
- 37:25Speaker 1: if you catch it anywhere near your heel, it's gonna
- 37:27Speaker 1: put like a funky little spin on it. But yes,
- 37:30Speaker 1: it is possible to curve the ball, and most right
- 37:33Speaker 1: footing kickers are gonna have some type of right to
- 37:37Speaker 1: left curve to it, and that I did notice that
- 37:40Speaker 1: about Matthew right even theft yard game winner had you know,
- 37:46Speaker 1: a little bit of curve to it, maybe four or
- 37:49Speaker 1: five ft or so. But that's pretty typical. Uh, most
- 37:53Speaker 1: of the time you're gonna get someone left footed, they're
- 37:55Speaker 1: gonna be left to right right footed, it's right to left.
- 37:58Speaker 1: So I mean that wasn't the prising for me to
- 38:00Speaker 1: see the last one, but the yard or definitely had
- 38:04Speaker 1: a lot more action on it than uh than so
- 38:09Speaker 1: is does it do that? Because where you make contact
- 38:13Speaker 1: on the ball, even the ball, though the ball is
- 38:17Speaker 1: spinning end over end, that the ball is also spinning
- 38:20Speaker 1: on its axis correct, So if if you mishit it,
- 38:25Speaker 1: the ball is gonna redirect one direction. However you hit it,
- 38:30Speaker 1: and you're as a kicker, you're coming in from the
- 38:33Speaker 1: inside because you're going in on a degree angle, You're
- 38:36Speaker 1: impacting the ball on the inside, so it has to
- 38:38Speaker 1: have some type of curve to it unless you your
- 38:42Speaker 1: your foot has opened up right when you impact the ball.
- 38:46Speaker 1: And there's only a handful of kickers that I've ever
- 38:50Speaker 1: seen that hit a dead straight ball every time, and
- 38:53Speaker 1: that's pretty rare. Have you ever seen a kicker right
- 38:58Speaker 1: footed be able to curve the ball from left to right?
- 39:04Speaker 1: Only one person in the history of me watching any
- 39:08Speaker 1: kicker kick have I seen one person do that? And
- 39:11Speaker 1: that's Justin Tucker, really and it blew my mind the
- 39:15Speaker 1: first time I saw it, so I kind of paid attention,
- 39:18Speaker 1: and every time I've watched them on TV now I'll
- 39:21Speaker 1: see that it'll start out to the left a little
- 39:24Speaker 1: bit and just kind of fade over to the right.
- 39:26Speaker 1: And that means that he's probably impacting the ball more
- 39:30Speaker 1: towards his heel than you would towards your toe. This
- 39:34Speaker 1: outstanding stuff. Josh Scoby with us on the phone, live
- 39:38Speaker 1: radio and its best today here on Jaguars Happy Hour.
- 39:40Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick Jeff Flagman in the former Jaguars Kicker,
- 39:44Speaker 1: speaking of fades and draws. Um I read the other
- 39:47Speaker 1: day you you had an albatross at Sawgrass? Is that accurate?
- 39:52Speaker 1: I did? It was? What is that? I'm a non golfer,
- 39:56Speaker 1: A two on a part five, So I made my
- 40:00Speaker 1: second shot on the nightfall. There's two four yards out.
- 40:04Speaker 1: There's a charity golf tournament out Monday, so that was
- 40:08Speaker 1: the first one in my golfing career and it was
- 40:12Speaker 1: It was a pretty good time and we only one
- 40:14Speaker 1: by one shot, so apparently we needed that. You'll take it,
- 40:18Speaker 1: that's for sure. When was the last time you kicked
- 40:20Speaker 1: a football? Josh? A few weeks ago I kicked with
- 40:25Speaker 1: Lauren Brooks from Tintin XL doing the show that she does.
- 40:30Speaker 1: We went out to Hurt High School at Bishop Kinney
- 40:33Speaker 1: and I kicked two balls and I was sore for
- 40:37Speaker 1: two days after. It's not like riding the bikes then apparently. Okay, well, hey,
- 40:45Speaker 1: thanks for the insight, man. It's great to talk. I've
- 40:48Speaker 1: always wondered at about you know, because you see the
- 40:50Speaker 1: action like like tennis players and when they hit the
- 40:53Speaker 1: ball and baseball pitchers and by the way, the whiffle
- 40:57Speaker 1: ball that I'm talking about. Have you if you guys
- 41:00Speaker 1: ever seen this thing. It's called blitz ball. Okay, see
- 41:05Speaker 1: Josh knows. Thank you, Josh. I appreciate that because JP,
- 41:09Speaker 1: don you've never played blitz ball whiffleball. You could throw
- 41:14Speaker 1: some junk with the with with the blitz ball. Now,
- 41:17Speaker 1: that's great blogs. Thank you for that. We uh, we
- 41:20Speaker 1: appreciate it to us. Great to talk to you, man,
- 41:23Speaker 1: and thanks for the time today of the insight. Justcobe
- 41:28Speaker 1: out of here calling us. Yeah, that's pretty cool that
- 41:31Speaker 1: the only kicker he's ever seen that can kick it
- 41:34Speaker 1: right footed and actually have it go left or right.
- 41:37Speaker 1: It's justin Tucker. It's pretty good. I never thought about
- 41:41Speaker 1: the fade or the draw, whatever you want to call it,
- 41:45Speaker 1: and I never I've never thought to look to see
- 41:47Speaker 1: if a right footed kicker could fade it. That's pretty
- 41:51Speaker 1: specialized now, I mean, you got it depending on the
- 41:53Speaker 1: conditions and all that going on with it too. So
- 41:55Speaker 1: there's there's a lot I can see right now that
- 41:57Speaker 1: we need to get. So think about what he just said.
- 42:00Speaker 1: He miss hit it a little bit. Yeah, that's why
- 42:03Speaker 1: it double corrected back and he's still got it fifty
- 42:05Speaker 1: four yard. I got a fifty five to get it
- 42:07Speaker 1: over fifty four. Well, I think when miss hit I
- 42:10Speaker 1: think would probably be a lot of different things. You know,
- 42:12Speaker 1: did you hit it maybe too much into the middle
- 42:14Speaker 1: of the ball, a different part of your foot. I mean,
- 42:17Speaker 1: there's probably a lot of different ways you miss hit it.
- 42:20Speaker 1: Joe Fortunato, Hello, I really should have asked Josh this.
- 42:23Speaker 1: But is the phrase double ego gone? Does nobody use that?
- 42:27Speaker 1: Like it's there? But the albatross is kind of the
- 42:29Speaker 1: new term for that. Yeah, that's pretty cool. It's nine
- 42:34Speaker 1: on the ninth hole. That means he's playing way too
- 42:36Speaker 1: much golf. Well, that's a good thing, you know, that's
- 42:41Speaker 1: what he does. Great to have, Josh Goby, we need
- 42:43Speaker 1: to get a blitz ball, a little tournament with all
- 42:46Speaker 1: of us one day. You know, that's a great idea,
- 42:49Speaker 1: and it's a good week for it. By week, but
- 42:51Speaker 1: it is dear season, so you might be veterans. Choose
- 42:54Speaker 1: v A for the benefits you've earned. Visit choose dot
- 42:57Speaker 1: v A dot god Let's getting out of the back
- 43:00Speaker 1: his Health Injury Report, Changing Healthcare for Good and take
- 43:04Speaker 1: a look at some of the names urban Meyer talked
- 43:07Speaker 1: about earlier this week. Ben Barts with a concussion, Tyson
- 43:10Speaker 1: Campbell with a toe issue, Miles Jack with a back injury.
- 43:14Speaker 1: He expects those three to be back and available next
- 43:17Speaker 1: week when practice begins. He said that on Monday, there
- 43:20Speaker 1: are officially six players on injured reserve right now for
- 43:24Speaker 1: the Jaguars, of course, d J. Chark with a fractured leg,
- 43:28Speaker 1: deep Brandon Lender with a knee and ankle issue, A J.
- 43:31Speaker 1: Can with a knee issue, James of Shaughnessy still on
- 43:34Speaker 1: their traves. E. T. N of course, and Terry Godwin.
- 43:36Speaker 1: But um, you know, we'll see what what happens with
- 43:39Speaker 1: the first three of that list. Shark Lender Can, especially
- 43:42Speaker 1: over the weeks ahead. Um Truck might be a little
- 43:45Speaker 1: bit Lender. You just don't know. So um, there you
- 43:48Speaker 1: have it. That's the Baptist Health Injury Report, Changing Healthcare
- 43:52Speaker 1: for Good. Would be nice to get. Uh, you know,
- 43:54Speaker 1: I will say like that. I think this team has
- 43:57Speaker 1: been pretty fortunate overall. I mean, if you look at
- 44:01Speaker 1: the guys that are on that injury report, what's the
- 44:05Speaker 1: if you could have one guy back? Can we put
- 44:08Speaker 1: that list back up again? If you could have one
- 44:11Speaker 1: guy back out of all of that list on the reserve,
- 44:16Speaker 1: stuff on the reserve, Okay, I would take take I
- 44:20Speaker 1: would take either. I mean, honestly, I'd take either Chark
- 44:24Speaker 1: or E t N. Playmaker speed guy I would take.
- 44:30Speaker 1: I mean, you wouldn't take Lender you got shot, Lee
- 44:33Speaker 1: played well, Okay, it's an interesting question, but I mean
- 44:37Speaker 1: as far as explosive playmakers, I'm taking e t N. Yeah, yeah,
- 44:43Speaker 1: that's what I was saying. We haven't seen e t N,
- 44:45Speaker 1: but that was the idea. He was going to be
- 44:46Speaker 1: that guy for me. I mean, the top three guys
- 44:51Speaker 1: I think would be Lender, Chart and e. T N.
- 44:54Speaker 1: And you sit there and you go to give a
- 44:56Speaker 1: young quarterback easy completions and a guy literally can be
- 45:00Speaker 1: a home run thread every time he touches the ball.
- 45:02Speaker 1: Travis Eton would be one of those guys, and then
- 45:05Speaker 1: you say, well, you know what to make the young
- 45:06Speaker 1: quarterback comfortable. I want to have my veteran center. And
- 45:10Speaker 1: then you say, okay, well I want to see a
- 45:13Speaker 1: vertical element to this offense because we haven't seen a
- 45:15Speaker 1: lot of that. Maybe it would be d J. Harton,
- 45:20Speaker 1: but uh yeah, I would probably take E. T. N.
- 45:23Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the a f C South standings.
- 45:25Speaker 1: As you might expect, well, the Tennessee has kind of
- 45:29Speaker 1: pulled away. They got a big win last night. Of course,
- 45:32Speaker 1: they are ahead of Indianapolis. Tennessee now four and two
- 45:35Speaker 1: Indy two and four, Houston one and five Jaguars one
- 45:38Speaker 1: in five Houston as the tiebreaker with the win over
- 45:41Speaker 1: the Jaguars back in week number one. The results of
- 45:44Speaker 1: Week six in the a f C South, of course,
- 45:46Speaker 1: you know, the Jaguars got their first victory and snapped
- 45:49Speaker 1: a twenty game losing skid with a win over the
- 45:51Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. The Colts blasted the Texans thirty one to three.
- 45:55Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor had a big day forty five yards, a
- 45:58Speaker 1: lot of that on a big run, two touchdown carries
- 46:01Speaker 1: in the game when Darius Leonard wasn't very active on
- 46:05Speaker 1: the defensive side, the linebacker seven tackles, a quarterback, hit,
- 46:08Speaker 1: an interception, and a force bumble. That's a good day
- 46:11Speaker 1: at the office. And then he is a very good
- 46:15Speaker 1: player at linebacker there in Indy. And then last night
- 46:18Speaker 1: a fantastic football game the Titans and the Bills. Tennessee
- 46:21Speaker 1: wins at one. The Bills try to sneak it on
- 46:25Speaker 1: fourth down, but Josh Allen slipped and fell down short
- 46:28Speaker 1: and the game was over. Derrick Henry did not slip
- 46:31Speaker 1: much in the game. Hundred forty three yards, including a
- 46:34Speaker 1: seventy six yard touchdown, and two other scores in the
- 46:37Speaker 1: game for Henry, the league's leading rushers, so the Titans
- 46:40Speaker 1: are in command of the South. Rick Henry is awesome.
- 46:42Speaker 1: I mean literally, Uh you know when they say when
- 46:46Speaker 1: Tara Lownes had that statement years ago, he said, get
- 46:49Speaker 1: your popcorn ready? Okay, yeah, I mean that's that's a
- 46:52Speaker 1: guy that's worth the price of admission to watch. And
- 46:57Speaker 1: there's not many running backs in the league that I
- 46:59Speaker 1: would say that about. I mean, really I wouldn't, but
- 47:03Speaker 1: I think he is absolutely worth the cost of a
- 47:06Speaker 1: ticket to watch him. That's how good he is. You know,
- 47:10Speaker 1: It's it's a quarterback league now, and I get that.
- 47:12Speaker 1: I mean, here's a guy that's carrying a team on
- 47:14Speaker 1: his back and in a quarterback league. If they keep
- 47:16Speaker 1: winning games, he's got to be in the m v
- 47:19Speaker 1: P conversation. Oh yes, absolutely, you know, I mean absolutely
- 47:25Speaker 1: what he's doing in the numbers he's putting up. If
- 47:27Speaker 1: if he ends up surpassing, which he's well on his
- 47:30Speaker 1: way to do it, if he stays healthy and he
- 47:32Speaker 1: and he surpasses two thousand yards rushing, he will be
- 47:35Speaker 1: the only player in NFL history to surpass two thousand
- 47:39Speaker 1: yards rushing and back to back seasons. Think about that
- 47:42Speaker 1: for a minute. Some of the greatness that we've seen
- 47:44Speaker 1: in the NFL's history with Walter Payton and and and
- 47:49Speaker 1: Emmett and Dickerson, I mean, all these greats, and here's
- 47:54Speaker 1: a guy it's just in a in a game that
- 47:57Speaker 1: has changed to be more as seen oriented. He's ripping it.
- 48:03Speaker 1: It's just it's impressive to watch. And I and I
- 48:06Speaker 1: here here's the other thing. Everything we've heard about Derrick Henry,
- 48:10Speaker 1: and first of all, he's you know, from just up
- 48:12Speaker 1: the road. We've heard and we we always talked to
- 48:16Speaker 1: different people, you know, we talked to the folks in
- 48:18Speaker 1: Tennessee and different people in Tennessee and different people that
- 48:22Speaker 1: work with the organization, and they have said nothing but
- 48:25Speaker 1: great things about them. And that's a that's a real
- 48:28Speaker 1: that's a real positive. And and you hear the same
- 48:32Speaker 1: kind of things about James Robinson as far as the
- 48:35Speaker 1: quality of person that he is. And you've got to
- 48:38Speaker 1: have that quality to have a chance at being being
- 48:40Speaker 1: a great running back or a great player period. So
- 48:44Speaker 1: it's just and I'm not trying to draw comparison between
- 48:46Speaker 1: James Robinson Derrick Henry. I mean this is this is
- 48:48Speaker 1: I think in two different stratospheres. Derek is in his
- 48:51Speaker 1: own in his own world. Yeah, he could score from
- 48:53Speaker 1: anywhere on the field. He could probably he could probably
- 48:57Speaker 1: even hit my curve blizz ball. I don't know if
- 48:59Speaker 1: he can do that. Who can do that? Let's get serious.
- 49:02Speaker 1: He was really going to do that? I don't even
- 49:04Speaker 1: you couldn't touch it. I got a bad one day,
- 49:08Speaker 1: you know. Yet now the excuses start to come out,
- 49:11Speaker 1: that's just fine. Uh, We're gonna be back in just
- 49:14Speaker 1: a minute. On the Jaguars Radio Network, head coach Urban
- 49:16Speaker 1: Meyer joins us on The Urban Meyers Show. Will get
- 49:19Speaker 1: his thoughts about the last Sunday's game, the Jaguars first win,
- 49:23Speaker 1: they hadn't won in a long long time, and it
- 49:25Speaker 1: was Urban meyers first win as an NFL head coach.
- 49:28Speaker 1: We'll get his thoughts on the field goals, his thoughts
- 49:32Speaker 1: when the balls were in the air for Matthew Right
- 49:35Speaker 1: and weaving and ducking and diving and all that that happened,
- 49:39Speaker 1: all the close calls and everything in that game in London.
- 49:42Speaker 1: In last week's game, and looking ahead to the bye
- 49:44Speaker 1: week as well, we'll talk a lot of offense, Trevor
- 49:46Speaker 1: Lawrence's development, what the defense has done and could do
- 49:50Speaker 1: better in parts, and what the bi week has in store.
- 49:53Speaker 1: The Jaguars are in the building today and expected to
- 49:56Speaker 1: be in tomorrow as well. That's all coming up. The
- 49:58Speaker 1: Urban Meyers Show is Next Star Thanks to Josh Scobee,
