0:13
Speaker 1: Former Jaguar Jeff Lockman and J. P. Shadrick discussed the
0:17
Speaker 1: latest Jaguars news with the head coach. The Urban Meyers
0:21
Speaker 1: Show starts right now and welcome in. It is the

Speaker 1: Urban Meyers Show. It is the bye week j P.
0:27
Speaker 1: Shadrick with Jeff Lockman and head coach Urban Meyer joining
0:30
Speaker 1: us after a Jaguars victory and Week number six twenty
0:34
Speaker 1: three twenty and Coach, I'm sure things are just a
0:38
Speaker 1: little bit different after a winning result. The going back
0:41
Speaker 1: to the work in the film room and getting ready
0:43
Speaker 1: to go for the next time out is probably a
0:46
Speaker 1: little bit sweeter. I'm guessing. Yeah, Jeff knows this. Uh
0:49
Speaker 1: there's nothing like seeing a player's face when you get
0:51
Speaker 1: rewarded for your hard work. And I've been saying all
0:54
Speaker 1: along that, Uh, this is one of the best locker
0:57
Speaker 1: rooms I've ever been around. This is a group of
0:59
Speaker 1: guys that are no resistance whatsoever. It's just got to
1:01
Speaker 1: play a little better and gotta coach a little better
1:03
Speaker 1: and we did, and it's amazing when you watch the
1:07
Speaker 1: NFL and you even watch their game, because we we
1:09
Speaker 1: did a really cool team meeting today talking about the
1:12
Speaker 1: plan to win and how how close and fragile games are.
1:16
Speaker 1: When you start talking about inches, and that's exactly what
1:18
Speaker 1: happened in our game. Then everybody talks about the player
1:21
Speaker 1: by Lavisco. But when Rudy uh Rudy Ford stepped down
1:25
Speaker 1: and down that ball on the two yard line and
1:28
Speaker 1: then makes a tackle one yard short on third and eight,
1:31
Speaker 1: that's when the game was really one. You know, there's
1:33
Speaker 1: other it's it's just too Really It's always amazed me,
1:37
Speaker 1: especially at the highest level, is how fragile these games are.
1:41
Speaker 1: What impressed me the most, Durban was just the way
1:43
Speaker 1: that that the game was going back and forth. Then
1:45
Speaker 1: with a football team that has lost many games, they
1:49
Speaker 1: never lost confidence. They kept fighting back, and I thought
1:52
Speaker 1: the play of your quarterback at crunch time and the
1:55
Speaker 1: moments that mattered, he was at his best. And jeff
1:59
Speaker 1: I Alwa's point to I was like you, because you know,
2:01
Speaker 1: I mean, how many people can actually say they've been
2:03
Speaker 1: in the huddle, they've been in the locker room, they've
2:05
Speaker 1: been in winning losing situations, and uh, the resolve of
2:09
Speaker 1: his team is phenomenal. I mean, you look at the
2:12
Speaker 1: progress we made from day one to now. A new
2:14
Speaker 1: coaching staff, a new offensive system, new system on defense. Uh,
2:19
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback. Uh, guys that have lost a lot
2:22
Speaker 1: of games. Here, I didn't say bad players, just lost
2:24
Speaker 1: a lot of games and then all of a sudden
2:26
Speaker 1: just continue to stick together and our our young quarterbacks
2:29
Speaker 1: no longer young. You know, he's, uh, how about how
2:33
Speaker 1: about this, Jeff? That this is I've never seen this before,
2:35
Speaker 1: but Marvin Jones, as we we set a prayer real
2:39
Speaker 1: quick afterwards and talked for a second Alston, he reaches
2:42
Speaker 1: up and says, I want to give a game a
2:44
Speaker 1: game ball one of the first and many wins for
2:46
Speaker 1: our quarterback. That's the same guy as elected captain. That
2:49
Speaker 1: same guy that's uh has a respect of our players,
2:52
Speaker 1: not because he was the first pick overall, because he's
2:53
Speaker 1: a worker or grinder and he cares about this team. Yeah.
2:56
Speaker 1: Totally impressive. And I thought the thing that he did
2:59
Speaker 1: the best in the ball game was the Miami Dolphins
3:02
Speaker 1: were not afraid to bring the blitz and probably the
3:04
Speaker 1: most amount of blitz that you guys have seen all season,
3:06
Speaker 1: and I thought Trevor handled it exceptionally in his pocket
3:10
Speaker 1: presence and his ability to feel it and to see
3:14
Speaker 1: it without having to look at it is what makes
3:17
Speaker 1: him special because it gives him the ability to keep
3:20
Speaker 1: his eyes where it needs to be, and that's down
3:22
Speaker 1: the field. That was by far the most pressure we saw,
3:25
Speaker 1: and there was a lot. A lot of it was
3:26
Speaker 1: zero pressure, and it's a risk reward, you know. We
3:29
Speaker 1: we got hurt a couple of times. We also and
3:31
Speaker 1: they also were showing mug which means both linebackers walked
3:34
Speaker 1: up in the a gaps and then bail and they
3:37
Speaker 1: had actually had the safety down if you remember, and
3:39
Speaker 1: then he would go run to the deep middle. But
3:41
Speaker 1: we hit him on a big steam route. Uh. Two
3:44
Speaker 1: eggs eggnew Uh. So there was a little bit risk reward.
3:48
Speaker 1: Um what you did to find out which we all knew.
3:50
Speaker 1: He's a competitor, we're talking about Trevor, but he's also
3:54
Speaker 1: very pocket savvy, very pocket strong number one. Because of
3:58
Speaker 1: his stature, he's big, you can see over a lot
4:01
Speaker 1: of stuff. But it also is understanding of the game.
4:04
Speaker 1: Have you been around a quarterback that has pockets savvy
4:07
Speaker 1: like that, because I've never seen one here, you know.
4:11
Speaker 1: I it's still early, Jeff, but you know, I've been
4:13
Speaker 1: blessed to be around some great, great quarterbacks and not
4:15
Speaker 1: taking anything away from this from him, but I think,
4:19
Speaker 1: you know, he he is very savvy. Like I love
4:22
Speaker 1: that word, uh, not just because of his stature. I
4:26
Speaker 1: want to go back to that real quick though. I've
4:28
Speaker 1: never had a six you know, six six just under
4:30
Speaker 1: six five or six five quarterback that can see everything
4:34
Speaker 1: because a lot of times when you have a smaller quarterback,
4:37
Speaker 1: they take the rise off a fast because all they
4:39
Speaker 1: see is the rush and he he sees downfield. Head
4:42
Speaker 1: coach Urban Meyer with us. There are a couple of
4:44
Speaker 1: changes on the offensive line. Last week. Tyler Shatley made
4:47
Speaker 1: the start. Ben Bartcher was in there but left the
4:49
Speaker 1: game early. Will Richardson stepped in a right guard. And
4:53
Speaker 1: I have those guys play. You you mentioned the rush
4:55
Speaker 1: and all that coming. That's a lot of moving parts
4:57
Speaker 1: up front to handle it. Yeah, that that might be defense.
5:00
Speaker 1: All bases out of the bear, which is the uh
5:03
Speaker 1: you know, the uh uh where the center is covered
5:07
Speaker 1: and both guards are covered and they get to it
5:10
Speaker 1: a multitude of different ways, and all of a sudden,
5:12
Speaker 1: you've got your captain, Brandon Lennaer out. You got Tyler
5:15
Speaker 1: Shatley making a start, who is a veteran as well,
5:18
Speaker 1: and just love the guy. We all do. And then
5:21
Speaker 1: bart makes a start for a j can and then
5:23
Speaker 1: he goes down. So we're down three offensive linement at
5:25
Speaker 1: one point playing a defense. It's pressure and playing bear defense,
5:29
Speaker 1: and that's a tribute I think George Warhop is doing
5:32
Speaker 1: a That's our most consistent part of our team right
5:34
Speaker 1: now is our offensive line. They're playing well, our tackles
5:38
Speaker 1: are playing pretty well, and you know, for the most part,
5:41
Speaker 1: to keep in our quarterback up right. And I know
5:42
Speaker 1: we gave up a sack fumble, which can't happen. For
5:45
Speaker 1: the most part, we're keeping him up right now. The
5:48
Speaker 1: one guy that I would probably add to your offensive
5:50
Speaker 1: line as you're tight end man hurt. So I thought
5:53
Speaker 1: he did a great job, especially in a run game,
5:55
Speaker 1: and that's really kind of been a staple and what
5:57
Speaker 1: he's really strong at. Especially the first drive the second half,
6:01
Speaker 1: which was great to come out and to get a score,
6:03
Speaker 1: but on a twenty four yard run that James Robinson had.
6:06
Speaker 1: Man Hurts gets a great double team with the tackle
6:08
Speaker 1: and then goes up and gets the linebacker. And that's
6:10
Speaker 1: what springs j rob Well when we did the research
6:14
Speaker 1: and you really don't have to research, and what's the
6:16
Speaker 1: best way to help a young quarterback is be able
6:18
Speaker 1: to run the football. And that's why we signed Carlos I.
6:21
Speaker 1: We had James Robinson, and then we went and got
6:23
Speaker 1: one of the best blocker and tight ends in the NFL,
6:25
Speaker 1: and that's Man Hurts and drafted Luke Farrell. If remember
6:27
Speaker 1: Luke Farrell was the poller on that as well. He
6:30
Speaker 1: hit the backer, so he had Man Hurts who double
6:33
Speaker 1: team with Cam Robinson had did I mean they knocked
6:36
Speaker 1: the guy past the hash mark went up to the
6:39
Speaker 1: linebacker and then Luke Farrell traps the second linebacker and
6:42
Speaker 1: then James is out and gave great effort running the ball. Yeah,
6:45
Speaker 1: you you mentioned James there. Here here we go. We
6:47
Speaker 1: could do every show and bring him up. Obviously six
6:51
Speaker 1: in the league and rushing yardage now through week six,
6:54
Speaker 1: carrying the load. Last week, he had more carries in
6:56
Speaker 1: the second half than the first. The game, I think
6:59
Speaker 1: the pace of the game allowed that to happen a
7:01
Speaker 1: little more in the second half. It felt like it did.
7:03
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I think, uh, we're we're starting
7:06
Speaker 1: to be you know, everybody asked about what your identity is,
7:09
Speaker 1: and we're an identity is balanced and we have to
7:12
Speaker 1: be balanced. I've never been more convinced after the first
7:16
Speaker 1: six games. And just football in general, you're one dimensional.
7:19
Speaker 1: They can stop you. And uh, James Robinson is I
7:24
Speaker 1: think he's actually I know we played very well last year,
7:27
Speaker 1: but he's playing better this year because his second level running.
7:29
Speaker 1: And he wrote, yeah, I wish you guys and on
7:32
Speaker 1: the offseason, watch this guy how hard he works and
7:35
Speaker 1: his whole you know, his whole work off effort in
7:38
Speaker 1: the off season was about second level running. He's really
7:40
Speaker 1: doing a heck of a job with it. Urban the
7:42
Speaker 1: wide receiver group, Marvin Jones Jr. Clearly has a connection
7:46
Speaker 1: with Trevor Lawrence and you can see that a lot
7:48
Speaker 1: of other guys are working to get that connection. One
7:51
Speaker 1: of the guys that just looks different when he touches
7:53
Speaker 1: the ball is Jamal Agnew, a guy that played defensive
7:57
Speaker 1: back and you bring him in really to be a returner.
8:00
Speaker 1: I'm watching a guy that I think is electric and
8:03
Speaker 1: has a significant role coming on offense, and I'm just
8:08
Speaker 1: kind of curious where in the world could his ceiling be.
8:11
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Jeff, I did not. I wish I
8:14
Speaker 1: could say I expected that. We we believe in special
8:17
Speaker 1: teams here. How do you believe in it? You invest
8:19
Speaker 1: in it, and we do. We're you know, now, uh
8:22
Speaker 1: Matt hit those field goals, but we're pretty strong in
8:25
Speaker 1: our coverage units. We still have to try to pop
8:28
Speaker 1: a uh punt return, but we invest in special teams
8:32
Speaker 1: and Agnew was one of the top four returners in
8:34
Speaker 1: the league. We felt, and Daryl Bevil said, there other
8:37
Speaker 1: reason why he's valuable is he's got some A lot
8:40
Speaker 1: of play left him a receiver. He's never played receiver.
8:43
Speaker 1: They moved in Toto the receiver at Detroit. And he's electric,
8:46
Speaker 1: he's fast, he's smart, he's multiple, he can do a
8:49
Speaker 1: lot of different things, and he can see as tough
8:51
Speaker 1: as nails too. So there there's a very high ceiling
8:54
Speaker 1: for him. I don't think we've seen it yet. When
8:56
Speaker 1: we return, well, we'll flip it around to the defensive
8:59
Speaker 1: side of the book. All in last week's win over
9:01
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. This is the Urban Meyer Show on
9:04
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Radio Network. Wow, welcome back. The Urban Meyers
9:14
Speaker 1: Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network and Jaguars game
9:18
Speaker 1: day broadcasts are presented by Vicestar Credit Union. The Urban
9:22
Speaker 1: Meyers Show continues J P. Shadrick, Jeff Loghaman and the
9:25
Speaker 1: Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer on the Pie Week, a
9:28
Speaker 1: couple of days removed from a Jaguars victory in London
9:31
Speaker 1: at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Let's go to defense. Now. You
9:35
Speaker 1: know last week there was that conversation at least from
9:38
Speaker 1: the media perspective, about the green dot in the communication
9:41
Speaker 1: on defense. It seemed did that settle down to you
9:44
Speaker 1: at all last week? What were some reasons behind it
9:46
Speaker 1: and who wore it primarily on defense? Yeah, Damien Wilson
9:50
Speaker 1: is the mic linebacker. Obviously Miles Jack was out and
9:53
Speaker 1: the wheel lineback was really by um, you know, we
9:57
Speaker 1: had uh more than one player uh and then um
10:01
Speaker 1: also the safety is involved. We did some signaling within
10:04
Speaker 1: to get the signaling. So I thought the just the
10:06
Speaker 1: organization of the game plan was good. We still we've
10:09
Speaker 1: turned into more zone than man now we're gonna be
10:13
Speaker 1: able to play both. But we've had some injuries at corner.
10:16
Speaker 1: Obviously with Typson going down, we're Nevin came in, he's
10:19
Speaker 1: only been with us a couple of weeks, get us
10:21
Speaker 1: an interception, and we we just feel like we need
10:23
Speaker 1: to combine the two of man and zone and playing
10:27
Speaker 1: uh quite a bit more zone. So if I had
10:30
Speaker 1: to say the negative of the game was the second
10:33
Speaker 1: you know, the level between the linebackers and the safeties.
10:36
Speaker 1: We got to get our depth, bet disciplined, not jumped
10:38
Speaker 1: underneath cuts and zone coverage and and rally up and
10:42
Speaker 1: make a play. And that's when when you play great
10:44
Speaker 1: zone coverage. That's what's happened. So we had good, good communication.
10:47
Speaker 1: Once again, we did a good job against the run.
10:50
Speaker 1: We got a long way to go and past defense.
10:52
Speaker 1: One of the guys that I thought that had an
10:54
Speaker 1: excellent game. I wish you would have been able to
10:56
Speaker 1: corral too on that first drive was Josh Allen Because
11:00
Speaker 1: a lot of people want to talk about the slider play,
11:03
Speaker 1: but the reality is if Josh Allen and Smoot helps
11:06
Speaker 1: out a little bit on that fourth down play, they
11:09
Speaker 1: don't make that play, there might not be a slider play.
11:12
Speaker 1: Well there's you know as well as I do. They're not.
11:15
Speaker 1: They don't. And the first player you're talking about the
11:17
Speaker 1: first series, it's the third and twelve, I believe, and
11:19
Speaker 1: we're off the field and Josh gets him in his
11:21
Speaker 1: hands to it. But two was also a number five
11:24
Speaker 1: pick for a reason. He steps up and he makes
11:26
Speaker 1: a ridiculous throw for a first down. But the fourth
11:28
Speaker 1: down you're talking about, Josh Allen was one of our
11:32
Speaker 1: def him along with wing Gard where our co defensive
11:37
Speaker 1: players are a game makes a play. But the interesting thing, Jeff,
11:41
Speaker 1: that you noticed was without Smoot, Josh doesn't make that play, Josh.
11:45
Speaker 1: So when you say set the point of defense, that's
11:47
Speaker 1: what we're talking about. What exactly what Dawant Smooth did
11:50
Speaker 1: he he held the point, set an edge, uh, Josh
11:54
Speaker 1: Allen veered from the backside and Damien Wilson finished him
11:58
Speaker 1: off and a rate stop. Without that, there is no
12:02
Speaker 1: it's it's an overtime game or or we lose head
12:05
Speaker 1: coach Urban Meyer with us the past rush overall in
12:09
Speaker 1: the day, I feel like there were some they were
12:11
Speaker 1: getting close a lot of the day, but only three
12:14
Speaker 1: quarterback hits. A lot of that was on the back end.
12:17
Speaker 1: The guys were open, he could find it open to him.
12:19
Speaker 1: But overall the pass rush, did you see enough? Do
12:22
Speaker 1: you want to see more? You can always see more.
12:23
Speaker 1: I'm guessing now we're not where we need to be.
12:26
Speaker 1: I mean not not Uh Josh Allen has given us.
12:28
Speaker 1: We're not getting enough inside pass rush with Roy. You know,
12:31
Speaker 1: Roy has been hurt a little bit um and he's
12:34
Speaker 1: got that big body frame that he can, you know,
12:36
Speaker 1: cause more havoc and and he will. We've seen him
12:38
Speaker 1: do it. He's very talented guy, and he's getting more
12:41
Speaker 1: healthy as we go. But our pass rush isn't where
12:44
Speaker 1: we need to be. Uh. Guys are smooth, had a
12:46
Speaker 1: really good game. He went after him. But and what
12:49
Speaker 1: you've seen a lot of it is their balls are
12:51
Speaker 1: coming out rather quickly, so sometimes you're not getting there.
12:55
Speaker 1: And and so we just that's an area of our
12:56
Speaker 1: team that we need to improve. Do you have do
12:58
Speaker 1: you try different things? I mean, because the inside seems
13:02
Speaker 1: to be that area where you need to get a
13:03
Speaker 1: little bit more production. Do you have any guys that
13:06
Speaker 1: maybe are outside that could slip down into the middle
13:10
Speaker 1: to maybe try to get some inside rush all jahad
13:13
Speaker 1: Ward goes in there a little bit. We're talking about
13:15
Speaker 1: maybe Smoot Roy is the guy. Roy is a very
13:17
Speaker 1: talented guy, just he has been hurt for a few
13:19
Speaker 1: weeks and uh he's a guy that uh we're having
13:23
Speaker 1: more and more conversation. That's what the bye weeks can
13:25
Speaker 1: be about, is just really take deep dive were exactly
13:27
Speaker 1: are we And that's an area rush defense. We're pretty solid,
13:31
Speaker 1: you know, past defense, which is obviously a big part
13:35
Speaker 1: of its past rush. Those are the two areas we've
13:37
Speaker 1: got to really work on when when you go to
13:39
Speaker 1: the bye week. A lot of times coaching staff use
13:42
Speaker 1: the buyer weeks as an opportunity to do self evaluation
13:45
Speaker 1: and the metrics and the numbers and the statistics all
13:48
Speaker 1: kind of are factored in. Is that something that you
13:52
Speaker 1: and the coaching staff will do in the bye week? Yeah,
13:54
Speaker 1: well three things. The objectives. Number one is the health
13:57
Speaker 1: of your team. Get him back at him healthy, a
13:58
Speaker 1: lot of guys that played a lot of football. But
14:01
Speaker 1: you also get to develop some of the younger guys.
14:03
Speaker 1: Number two, as you just you said self scout, and
14:06
Speaker 1: I always like to also look at if you know
14:08
Speaker 1: red zone, fourth and short. Got something. We're really working
14:11
Speaker 1: on third downs. You know, who are the teams in
14:14
Speaker 1: the NFL leading the NFL right now? What are they doing?
14:16
Speaker 1: How are they executing it? And can you steal something
14:19
Speaker 1: from him? Can you you know what, how can we
14:21
Speaker 1: get better in those areas? And then the third pieces
14:24
Speaker 1: that jump start in Seattle. Urban will come back in
14:27
Speaker 1: a moment and get into the kicking game. It was
14:30
Speaker 1: huge for you last week. New kicker moving ahead as

15:29
Speaker 1: to go out there and evaluated. I asked how he did,
15:31
Speaker 1: and they had two or three kickers come in and
15:34
Speaker 1: and Matt. They talked about how consistent he was, how
15:36
Speaker 1: accurate it was, and then you know, he's a fifty
15:38
Speaker 1: to fifty five guy as far as uh be able
15:41
Speaker 1: to hit the ball. And they talked to Shack Griffin
15:43
Speaker 1: who was with him at UCF. He I believe he
15:46
Speaker 1: was four for four in the NFL and then he
15:49
Speaker 1: was cut. Uh so, um he joins our team. And
15:54
Speaker 1: Casey Calevan was at a dinner with him tonight. He
15:57
Speaker 1: was talking about the first time he saw him, he
15:58
Speaker 1: thought he was a ball boy at Cincinnati and he
16:02
Speaker 1: like flipped them a ball or something and he actually
16:04
Speaker 1: realized that's our kicker, and uh so what a story.
16:08
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a great thing about sports. That's a
16:10
Speaker 1: great thing about opportunity if you take advantage of it,
16:12
Speaker 1: which my goss diddy uh and uh to have him,
16:16
Speaker 1: you know, get a game ball in the locker room
16:18
Speaker 1: after the game and see. Uh, like I said, there's
16:20
Speaker 1: a lot of great things in this game, nothing greater
16:23
Speaker 1: than a winning locker room. That's Logs moved by the way,
16:26
Speaker 1: Let's just throw the ball to the kicker. I don't
16:28
Speaker 1: know if he still does that or not. Logs, I
16:30
Speaker 1: don't know. He does look young, but boy, I mean,
16:34
Speaker 1: he's very fortunate to have a holder like Logan Cook.
16:37
Speaker 1: You know, Joe D. Camills, who was a longtime special
16:39
Speaker 1: teams coordinator, had two different stints here with the Jaguars
16:43
Speaker 1: and and very respected around National Football League. He told
16:46
Speaker 1: me one time, he said that Logan Cook is by
16:48
Speaker 1: far the best holder I've ever seen. And so whoever
16:51
Speaker 1: you have kicking for you, I think they're very fortunate
16:54
Speaker 1: to have Logan Cook. Those are those are big words
16:56
Speaker 1: of praise from Joe D. Camillis. That's right. I heard
16:58
Speaker 1: that as well. Uh didn't speak to the coach, but
17:00
Speaker 1: I heard that about him. And the other thing Logan
17:03
Speaker 1: Cook is he's a grown man. You know, he's a
17:05
Speaker 1: he's a pros pro. He's a guy that calms a situation.
17:09
Speaker 1: You know, he's a guy that dropped the punt on
17:10
Speaker 1: the two yard line. And uh, you know, having a
17:13
Speaker 1: guy hold and then also ross our long snapper. Those
17:17
Speaker 1: those guys are the ultimate I love those guys. Those
17:19
Speaker 1: guys are the ultimate pros. And then the third third
17:22
Speaker 1: wheel is going to be our kicker, and he's just
17:24
Speaker 1: part of a you know, if you didn't have those
17:25
Speaker 1: two mature guys, it would have been even far more difficult.
17:28
Speaker 1: Head coach urban Meyer with us. We saw your reaction.
17:31
Speaker 1: I don't know if you went back and watch the
17:33
Speaker 1: TV table, if you do at all after the first
17:36
Speaker 1: or the second field goal for right, but the game
17:38
Speaker 1: tying field goal from fifty four, it's angling right, it's five,
17:43
Speaker 1: you know, six feet right, and it's gonna be no good,
17:45
Speaker 1: no chance, and then somehow drifts back in they shoot,
17:49
Speaker 1: do an ISO of you and your heads down all
17:51
Speaker 1: of a sudden you come up, can't believe it. I mean,
17:53
Speaker 1: what was your view of that kick? And did you
17:55
Speaker 1: go back and watch it afterwards? Uh? Life, I saw it,
17:59
Speaker 1: not the TV people, but I saw the h and
18:01
Speaker 1: there's when you freeze frame it. It's five ft outside
18:04
Speaker 1: the right goal post. Uh. And he hooks it in
18:07
Speaker 1: there like a seven iron at sawgrass and throws it
18:10
Speaker 1: in there and it it barely crosses the crossbar and
18:13
Speaker 1: then uh had a lot of confidence in him. And
18:15
Speaker 1: the last one though, I mean, I really, I just
18:18
Speaker 1: this is a no brainer. If we can get this
18:20
Speaker 1: clock stopped at one second left, I really believe that
18:22
Speaker 1: guy was going to hit it well. And part of
18:24
Speaker 1: part of getting that clock stopped was the slider play.
18:28
Speaker 1: Do you call it a slider play because typically when
18:31
Speaker 1: the catch is made, you go feet first, giving yourself up,
18:34
Speaker 1: then you can actually use the time out. But you
18:37
Speaker 1: guys took a gamble because it was on fourth and
18:39
Speaker 1: eight where he the receiver Levisca actually has to go
18:42
Speaker 1: head first. But I mean, the probability of getting that
18:45
Speaker 1: play done in five seconds it's not very high. But
18:49
Speaker 1: what a tremendous job that you guys did. And I
18:52
Speaker 1: wanted to commend you because you were right there next
18:54
Speaker 1: with the official on the sideline, ready to use that
18:56
Speaker 1: time out immediately and he was right on top of it. Yeah,
19:00
Speaker 1: that's something that uh uh in college you don't have them.
19:03
Speaker 1: Any situations show up. So to say that we've practiced
19:05
Speaker 1: it like we do here in the NFL, we we didn't.
19:08
Speaker 1: And Barrel, Daryl Bevil and Schottenheimer been very hopeful with that,
19:11
Speaker 1: as is Zachar analytics guy, and they just do a
19:14
Speaker 1: great job with it. And we practiced those situations more
19:18
Speaker 1: than ever in my career. And uh, the slider piece,
19:21
Speaker 1: that's exactly what you do. You're giving yourself up and
19:24
Speaker 1: that's the only way it works. But usually it's about
19:27
Speaker 1: a sixth second scenario, especially on the fourth and eight.
19:31
Speaker 1: You know, fourth and four, you get down quicker just
19:33
Speaker 1: because it's shorter distance. And the official, I said, I
19:35
Speaker 1: told her exactly what we're doing. Uh, the official and us.
19:39
Speaker 1: As soon as that shoulder he gives himself up, we're
19:41
Speaker 1: calling time out. And when I saw him catch the
19:44
Speaker 1: ball and this clock stopped at one second, I really,
19:47
Speaker 1: in my heart thought we won the game. Brandon Jones,
19:50
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins safety, goes up and touches Lavisco. He
19:53
Speaker 1: doesn't touch Lavisca. Maybe the second rolls off the clock.
19:58
Speaker 1: Amazing job there and enters all so two options, it
20:00
Speaker 1: looks like on that play because you got the tight
20:03
Speaker 1: end dan Anoro to the left and they had a
20:05
Speaker 1: safety in the middle, and the Miami Dolphins we're all
20:07
Speaker 1: playing outside leverage. They're thinking you're gonna try to throw
20:10
Speaker 1: the ball out of bounds to stop the clock that way. Well,
20:12
Speaker 1: we actually had a call before the time out. We
20:15
Speaker 1: were gonna try to hail Mary, you know, just try
20:17
Speaker 1: to launch it in the end zone and get up
20:20
Speaker 1: and make a play. And then that's when we changed it.
20:23
Speaker 1: When I you know, we looked up there and saw
20:25
Speaker 1: those five seconds left and said, you know, if you
20:26
Speaker 1: could just get to that yard lines that you can
20:29
Speaker 1: try to you know, fifty some yard or we have
20:31
Speaker 1: a chance to win this thing. All right, So were
20:33
Speaker 1: you and your head going one thousand one, one thousand two,
20:37
Speaker 1: one thousand three, sitting are counting in your head while
20:39
Speaker 1: the play was happening, Well, I wanted obviously got it's
20:42
Speaker 1: it's fruitless if you don't catch the ball. But the
20:44
Speaker 1: minute I saw that shoulder go down and um and
20:47
Speaker 1: she stopped the clock, you know it's it's one of
20:50
Speaker 1: those ones I'll never forget. It was a good one,
20:53
Speaker 1: for sure. So bye week. This week, a couple of
20:56
Speaker 1: days of work early in the week and then some
20:58
Speaker 1: time for the guys to get away and and get
21:00
Speaker 1: their legs up and get real get refocused and ready
21:03
Speaker 1: to go for Seattle. Yeah, we all, Uh, we're to practice.
21:06
Speaker 1: We practice today just for the players who didn't play.
21:09
Speaker 1: You know, I still believe in development of players, and
21:11
Speaker 1: that's we have Cisco's and Walker Little and Jordan Smith
21:15
Speaker 1: and some of these young players as some receivers were
21:17
Speaker 1: still counting on to get a little better. Um. And
21:20
Speaker 1: so we practiced just forty five minutes today. Tomorrow we'll
21:23
Speaker 1: go out big lift yesterday today, uh lower body and
21:27
Speaker 1: tomorrow's upper body and get their bodies right and go
21:30
Speaker 1: out for practice. And then uh, then they got some
21:33
Speaker 1: time off there off Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and we're
21:36
Speaker 1: back to work Monday now, which is a big thing
21:38
Speaker 1: for players. To be able to take a mental break
21:40
Speaker 1: in the mid midpoint of the season certainly helps a
21:42
Speaker 1: football team down the stretch of the end of the season.
21:45
Speaker 1: And Jeff, we got good guys, man, I keep going.
21:47
Speaker 1: I know maybe people and are tired of me saying this,
21:51
Speaker 1: but I've been around this game a long time, and uh,
21:54
Speaker 1: I like, I'll ride with these guys anytime, man that
21:57
Speaker 1: this is a good group. Your urban you mentioned Sawgrass.
21:59
Speaker 1: How is your seven iron these days? I have no
22:01
Speaker 1: idea where it's at coach, have a great bye a week.
22:05
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you. See head coach Urban Meyer with us.
22:08
Speaker 1: It's the Urban Meyer Show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
22:16
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Urban Meyers Show, j P. Shadrick,
22:18
Speaker 1: Jeff Logaman or thanks to Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer
22:21
Speaker 1: joining us in the first half hour every Tuesday afternoon.
22:25
Speaker 1: Glad you're along with us. Pretty good weeks so far.
22:29
Speaker 1: After Jaguars win. Can tell the coaches, you know a
22:33
Speaker 1: little more Okay, they got that winning result, they're seeing
22:36
Speaker 1: a little success. Still a lot of work to be done,
22:39
Speaker 1: of course, but well, at least they broke the rock.
22:42
Speaker 1: As he liked to say in the week's previous I mean,
22:45
Speaker 1: when you have that many games to where you're not
22:48
Speaker 1: breaking the rock, it just becomes harder and harder every week,
22:51
Speaker 1: and especially when you start to have things that happened
22:56
Speaker 1: during the normal course of course of the season, which
22:58
Speaker 1: is injuries and and having to replace certain guys. But yeah,
23:03
Speaker 1: tremendous win, and you can tell that, you know, the
23:05
Speaker 1: attitude and the feeling is just better because you know, look,
23:09
Speaker 1: like I talked about earlier, you play the game for
23:13
Speaker 1: the joy of winning and that's what you get paid
23:15
Speaker 1: to do. And it's no different for a coach. I
23:17
Speaker 1: mean the coaching staff. I mean they work incredibly long hours.
23:22
Speaker 1: I mean incredibly long hours, and so they also need
23:27
Speaker 1: to have some joy and so so I'm happy for
23:29
Speaker 1: all of them, players, coaches, fan that it's it's finally
23:34
Speaker 1: it's a it's it's good to finally get that feeling.
23:36
Speaker 1: You know. We heard last segment. Selfishly, it was good
23:41
Speaker 1: to call a game that was a w. Yeah, it
23:44
Speaker 1: was good to take the postgame radio call in show
23:47
Speaker 1: after W Also, I must say, I mean it's a
23:49
Speaker 1: little different feel actually, and I actually uh listened to
23:53
Speaker 1: you talk to the coach post game and he was
23:56
Speaker 1: a little relieved, it felt like, and I did. I
23:58
Speaker 1: did notice that he was able to get to you
24:00
Speaker 1: a much quicker than that. So that was good. Everybody's happy.
24:04
Speaker 1: We've got a couple of guys on. Matt Right was
24:07
Speaker 1: on with us, we had Josh Allen. I mean, it
24:09
Speaker 1: was it's good. It's a good, positive thing. And I listened,
24:12
Speaker 1: I listened to uh to all of it and it
24:14
Speaker 1: was fantastic and uh and you and might do a
24:16
Speaker 1: great job, by the way, and I enjoyed listening to
24:19
Speaker 1: you guys, and it was the kind of a U
24:22
Speaker 1: fork feeling, you know, being able to call that game
24:24
Speaker 1: at the very end because it's just been so long,
24:27
Speaker 1: long time. Um you mentioned with the coach a moment ago.
24:31
Speaker 1: We're talking about Matthew Bright of course, and then Logan
24:33
Speaker 1: Cooke the holder and everything going on. UM Urban was
24:38
Speaker 1: talking a little more about Logan Cook. It just reminded
24:40
Speaker 1: me about the opening kickoff and the fan running on
24:44
Speaker 1: the field and like he's like shaking hands with the players.
24:47
Speaker 1: They didn't show it on the television feed, but we
24:49
Speaker 1: had an alternate feed. We're looking at he's just standing there.
24:52
Speaker 1: Security is not coming out. The players are like going
24:55
Speaker 1: over to shake his hand. He got a Jaguar shirt on,
24:57
Speaker 1: and like if Logan doesn't kick the ball, he might
25:00
Speaker 1: have gone to either take the ball or kick the ball.
25:02
Speaker 1: And it seemed like Logan kind of boat up on
25:04
Speaker 1: him a little bit and wanted he was like because
25:06
Speaker 1: he just made the kickoff, Well he was probably concerned
25:10
Speaker 1: for safety at first. I mean, it's a Mississippi guy
25:13
Speaker 1: you don't mess with. As it was kind of it
25:17
Speaker 1: was so weird because I mean, what you're what you're saying.
25:19
Speaker 1: The feed that we had, we were able to see
25:21
Speaker 1: that in order for us to broadcast and to do
25:24
Speaker 1: our duties because we didn't travel because of the COVID restrictions,
25:28
Speaker 1: et cetera. We didn't want to end up having an
25:31
Speaker 1: issue with that. So early on the planning process we said,
25:34
Speaker 1: let's just broadcast the game like we did during COVID
25:37
Speaker 1: and stay here. So we get what is a network feed?
25:41
Speaker 1: So the network feed is literally uninterrupted, I mean what
25:44
Speaker 1: all twenty two? The big picture look at the stadium,
25:47
Speaker 1: so we're seeing everything, and so we have multiple TVs that,
25:53
Speaker 1: by the way, Brad and Joe and Kush and day
25:56
Speaker 1: or Patrick, they all did a great job setting it up,
26:00
Speaker 1: and so we had all the angles and all the
26:03
Speaker 1: monitors we needed, which is, you know, we had the
26:05
Speaker 1: network feed, you got the truck feed, and then you
26:09
Speaker 1: got the all twenty two, the uninterrupted feed, and so
26:11
Speaker 1: this all interrupted feed. All of a sudden, the kick
26:15
Speaker 1: golf stops and I'm looking at and there's and I
26:20
Speaker 1: thought at first, I thought that this was part of
26:22
Speaker 1: something that was planned like maybe the league or yeah,
26:29
Speaker 1: maybe it was like presenting the game ball or something
26:32
Speaker 1: like he was coming out there to give him the
26:33
Speaker 1: real game ball to kick off or something. Seriously, that's
26:36
Speaker 1: what I thought was happening. And then and then here's
26:39
Speaker 1: the crazy thing that some of the Jaguar players start
26:42
Speaker 1: going over there in high five and them Hill and
26:44
Speaker 1: the guy was like yeah, yeah, yeah. And then the
26:47
Speaker 1: but the slow reaction by the security in the stadium
26:52
Speaker 1: was almost epic. It was like, okay, is anybody gonna
26:55
Speaker 1: come and do anything here? And finally they ease their
26:59
Speaker 1: way out there and then escort this gentleman off of
27:02
Speaker 1: the field. But we need to get Logan Cook on
27:05
Speaker 1: the show and find out what was said on the field.
27:09
Speaker 1: We might not be able to air what was said
27:11
Speaker 1: up that alight, that's okay to Logan if you're listening. Calls.
27:15
Speaker 1: So we've already had earlier scob in an earlier show,
27:20
Speaker 1: we had let's get all the specialists in todawn. It
27:22
Speaker 1: would it would be it would be fun to see
27:25
Speaker 1: kind of how that exchange weren't about before the game,
27:30
Speaker 1: at least there at least on the field, they weren't
27:32
Speaker 1: any other issues and the game moved along. Let's return
27:35
Speaker 1: in a moment and get to the quarterback and the
27:38
Speaker 1: decision process that he is making, and you know, it
27:42
Speaker 1: seems to be week to week just becoming a little
27:44
Speaker 1: smoother for him. Is somebody going to fall through the roof?
27:48
Speaker 1: And I don't know. We've got there's things happening here.
27:50
Speaker 1: We're gonna time out and see what's going on above us.
27:53
Speaker 1: We've got some some loud noises. And this is the
27:56
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer Show on Jaguars Radio. Wow, welcome back. The
28:07
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network plenty
28:12
Speaker 1: of time. I was like kind of shaking my head
28:15
Speaker 1: a little bit. It was the first two plays and
28:16
Speaker 1: we just were going backwards. I'm like, oh gosh, you know,
28:19
Speaker 1: we're trying to like get in field goal range and
28:20
Speaker 1: we lose like combined ten yards in the first two plays.
28:23
Speaker 1: Obviously that's not how you want to start. But no,
28:25
Speaker 1: I never had any doubt, especially when we got that
28:28
Speaker 1: call on that fourth down, like it was a great
28:30
Speaker 1: you know, third down. I think it was third in eighteen,
28:32
Speaker 1: third and twenty something like that, and we got an
28:35
Speaker 1: easy completion for ten yards or twelve yards. That put
28:37
Speaker 1: us back kind of where we need a little bit
28:40
Speaker 1: more to get the field goal, and then we were
28:42
Speaker 1: kind of going back and forth side of what we
28:43
Speaker 1: wanted to do, and when when the call came in,
28:45
Speaker 1: I had no doubt that it was the right call
28:47
Speaker 1: that we'd executed, and especially when I saw the look
28:50
Speaker 1: from Miami, I just knew I could fit in that
28:52
Speaker 1: window and kind of tell Lavisco where to go with
28:55
Speaker 1: the ball. Throw it a little bit low so we
28:57
Speaker 1: can get down quick, and um, it's perfect. Got one
29:00
Speaker 1: second left, so that's all that's all we needed. So
29:02
Speaker 1: it was it was awesome. That's the quarterback Trevor Lawrence
29:05
Speaker 1: today discussing the slider play. Fourth at eight, they get
29:09
Speaker 1: nine and a time out with one second to play,
29:12
Speaker 1: and it set up a fifty three yard field gold
29:14
Speaker 1: trial from matthew Wright that he hammered right down the
29:17
Speaker 1: middle to win it in London. And Welcome back to
29:19
Speaker 1: the Urban Meyer Show. J P. Shadrick with Jeff Lagerman.
29:22
Speaker 1: We had Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer in the in
29:26
Speaker 1: the first half hour watching video here on Jaguars dot
29:29
Speaker 1: Com of his reaction to the slider play on television,
29:33
Speaker 1: and Uh yeah, he's all fired up that it worked.
29:36
Speaker 1: Here we are we get a chance to win now,
29:38
Speaker 1: great stuff. Now we heard from Trevor there just talking
29:41
Speaker 1: through the scenario. I mean he totally gets it. Yeah,
29:44
Speaker 1: moving backwards, that's not ideal or like, oh no, what's
29:46
Speaker 1: going on? But you know, calm the world down, got
29:50
Speaker 1: a big play on third down to kind of get
29:52
Speaker 1: him in a in a point where they could even
29:54
Speaker 1: make a play like that. Let me let me kind
29:56
Speaker 1: of take each great through the play sequence here, because
29:59
Speaker 1: when the Dolphins turned it over on downs, when Josh
30:02
Speaker 1: Allen and smoot Uh make a great play and and
30:06
Speaker 1: end up stopping the Miami Dolphins. Okay, so now the
30:08
Speaker 1: Jaguars have the ball on a first intent at the
30:12
Speaker 1: Miami forty six, which is great field position, and you
30:15
Speaker 1: have the false start by man Hurts, so you're backed
30:18
Speaker 1: up now to first and fifteen. And then Trevor has
30:22
Speaker 1: a gain of minus one and then he gets sacked,
30:25
Speaker 1: and so now you're looking at third down situation and
30:29
Speaker 1: you have a decent completion to Lavisco think like twelve yards,
30:33
Speaker 1: and so now you're looking at a fourth and eight.
30:37
Speaker 1: And so that's the play, the slider play, which really
30:41
Speaker 1: didn't It wasn't a slider. I mean slides. It's called
30:44
Speaker 1: a slider play because it's designed to go feet first,
30:47
Speaker 1: but you go ahead first to make the play and
30:50
Speaker 1: they get touched and they get an opportunity at it.
30:52
Speaker 1: But yeah, I just think that the way that Trevor
30:57
Speaker 1: handles himself in moments of durest I think it is
30:59
Speaker 1: just impressive. And I think throughout the ballgame when Miami
31:03
Speaker 1: tried to bring pressure and the Jaguars at times had
31:07
Speaker 1: an issue with dealing with some of that pressure, I
31:09
Speaker 1: thought the quarterback handled it big time and I thought
31:12
Speaker 1: it was by far his best performance of the season,
31:17
Speaker 1: and clearly was because if you look at his rating,
31:20
Speaker 1: I think it was a ninety two point something or other.
31:23
Speaker 1: A great job. Yeah, great day at the office for
31:26
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence on Sunday in London. And they did try
31:30
Speaker 1: to heat him up a lot. I mean that the
31:31
Speaker 1: Dolphins brought pressure. They had a couple of guys new
31:34
Speaker 1: on the offensive line. Of course, the Jacks did Shatley,
31:36
Speaker 1: who's been around but he hasn't played much this year,
31:39
Speaker 1: and then right guard they actually had two different guys.
31:42
Speaker 1: Barts was out with a concussion earlier in the game,
31:44
Speaker 1: so Will Richardson Jr. Steps in, so why not heat
31:48
Speaker 1: it up. I mean, that was the right decision, but
31:49
Speaker 1: Trevor handled it pretty clean well. And Urban was talking
31:52
Speaker 1: to a couple of things. He talked about the forty
31:54
Speaker 1: six defense, which the defenses Buddy Ryan made famous with
31:58
Speaker 1: the eight five bear. That's kind of if you wanted
32:01
Speaker 1: to kind of have a comparison, that's where you put
32:04
Speaker 1: the guy head up on the center and then you
32:06
Speaker 1: got each guy in a three gap too defensive tackles,
32:09
Speaker 1: which would have been McMichael. And I'm trying to think
32:13
Speaker 1: of who the other three technique would have been for
32:15
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears. But anyway, and any time to tell
32:19
Speaker 1: you how old I was, you weren't even probably born.
32:23
Speaker 1: But then he also talked about the Miami Dolphins were
32:27
Speaker 1: showing a mug blitz. Yes, okay, mug blitz for those
32:31
Speaker 1: that don't really know, it's it's a double a gap
32:33
Speaker 1: blitz threat or the linebackers are walked up into the gap.
32:37
Speaker 1: And what it does it forces you to account for them,
32:41
Speaker 1: whether they come or not, because since they're right there,
32:45
Speaker 1: you have to assign somebody to block them. If they
32:48
Speaker 1: come here they are and so so when the Miami has,
32:51
Speaker 1: for example, when Miami does this and the linebackers are
32:54
Speaker 1: walked up into the gaps and they've got seven guys
32:56
Speaker 1: on the line of scrimmage, you only have five offensive
33:00
Speaker 1: lineman and running back right, So there's somebody that's gonna
33:04
Speaker 1: get turned loose. And the other thing that happens is
33:07
Speaker 1: that now you have let's say a guard blocking a lot.
33:11
Speaker 1: One of those linebackers in the tackle now has to
33:13
Speaker 1: block the defensive tackle. Then the tight end now has
33:16
Speaker 1: to block the defensive end, which is a mismatch, which
33:20
Speaker 1: that happened in the game to where you had I
33:23
Speaker 1: think it was Ogbah being blocked by Dan Arnold. That's
33:28
Speaker 1: a mismatch. But they got that matchup because they had
33:32
Speaker 1: that mug blitz. And so, uh, it can be effective
33:36
Speaker 1: and at times, as Urban said, it's risk reward. You know,
33:39
Speaker 1: you can end up having a great opportunity at something
33:42
Speaker 1: down the field if you can block it up and
33:45
Speaker 1: give your quarterback time. But Trevor, I thought handled the
33:48
Speaker 1: pressure throughout the entire game exceptionally well as far as
33:52
Speaker 1: releasing the ball quickly and also buying time in the
33:55
Speaker 1: pocket and then out of the pocket when we returned.
33:58
Speaker 1: We'll flip it around a D fence. They got some pressure,
34:01
Speaker 1: not a lot of coverage. They had some issues on
34:03
Speaker 1: the back end, some big plays, especially from the tight ends. Well,
34:07
Speaker 1: you're going to get some answers out of you. Well,
34:11
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can give you great answers
34:13
Speaker 1: that you want to hear, but I'll give you the answer. Well,
34:16
Speaker 1: that's when we come back. This is the Urban Meyers
34:18
Speaker 1: Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome Back. The Urban
34:24
Speaker 1: Meyer Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network. We're back
34:29
Speaker 1: gets the Urban Meyer Show. J P Shadrick, Jeff Loguman,
34:32
Speaker 1: and head Joe urban Meyer with us in the first
34:34
Speaker 1: half hour, five o'clock every Tuesday on the Jaguars Radio Network.
34:38
Speaker 1: Glad you're along with us today. After the Jaguars win
34:42
Speaker 1: twenty let's do this more often logged after a win,
34:45
Speaker 1: I'm all four, nice, I'm all four. Defense had some
34:50
Speaker 1: positive things. They also had a lot of negative moments
34:53
Speaker 1: in the game. Um, let's start with a positive because
34:56
Speaker 1: that's what we're doing today. In the final two possessions
34:59
Speaker 1: from Miami, they got off the field, got a three
35:01
Speaker 1: and out when they needed to set up the fifty
35:03
Speaker 1: four yard peel goal to tie the game, and then
35:08
Speaker 1: really almost inexplicably, Brian Flores decided to go for it
35:11
Speaker 1: on that fourth and one from his own forty six
35:13
Speaker 1: instead of punting away and make the Jags drive the
35:16
Speaker 1: entire field. The Jags defense stood up to the task.
35:20
Speaker 1: I mean, and you know, it's a less than a yard.
35:23
Speaker 1: It is about a half a yard if that, and
35:25
Speaker 1: Josh Allen crashes down and makes the play in the backfield.
35:29
Speaker 1: It was really too surprising coaching decisions in that game.
35:34
Speaker 1: The Jaguars to choose to go for it at the
35:38
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins what nine yard line, and then Brian Flory's
35:43
Speaker 1: a decision to go for it where he was at
35:47
Speaker 1: the forty six. I mean, that's just if he gets it,
35:51
Speaker 1: it's you know, then they have a chance to win
35:53
Speaker 1: in their themselves. They have a chance, yeah, but you
35:57
Speaker 1: also give your opponent a great chance to win the game.
36:02
Speaker 1: And that was I mean, first of all, the Miami
36:05
Speaker 1: defense defense I thought did a really good job initially,
36:07
Speaker 1: and I thought that I was like, oh man, they
36:10
Speaker 1: are really rise into the occasion for their coaches. Decision
36:14
Speaker 1: that was I thought was pretty poor. And uh, but
36:18
Speaker 1: then Trevor Lawrence was able to make a couple of
36:20
Speaker 1: plays and it was a great job and a great
36:21
Speaker 1: job coaching. So I mean give credit where credit is due.
36:24
Speaker 1: I thought the way that the Jaguars coaching staff handled
36:28
Speaker 1: that situation away that they were able to help execute that.
36:31
Speaker 1: You know, and and and football and winning the difference
36:34
Speaker 1: between winning and losing some so many different times. It's
36:36
Speaker 1: just a matter of preparation and situational football. And you
36:39
Speaker 1: always hear that term situational football, but are you prepared
36:43
Speaker 1: to execute in certain critical situations of a game. And
36:48
Speaker 1: this team, this organization was ready to do that at
36:52
Speaker 1: that critical moment. And were they or would they have
36:57
Speaker 1: been able to do that if Brian Floyes doesn't use
36:59
Speaker 1: that time out, maybe not, maybe not, But I understand
37:04
Speaker 1: why he used that time out, to use that time
37:06
Speaker 1: out to maybe to communicate to his defense on what
37:10
Speaker 1: appeared to be a hell merry attempt to make sure
37:12
Speaker 1: that they were going to line up right and get
37:13
Speaker 1: everything covered right. And then that's when the Jaguars decided
37:18
Speaker 1: to change course and to do the slider play and
37:21
Speaker 1: give their kicker and opportunity. And it was a great
37:23
Speaker 1: decision and uh, a great job by them, So kudos
37:28
Speaker 1: to them, and definitely there's a little bit of regret
37:32
Speaker 1: probably on both sides. And the Jaguars have had I
37:36
Speaker 1: think a couple of decisions this year on fourth down opportunities.
37:39
Speaker 1: I'd love to know what the analytics say as far
37:44
Speaker 1: as them going for For example, like in Cincinnati had
37:47
Speaker 1: fourth and goal at the one before the half, you
37:49
Speaker 1: end up not getting any points out of it. What
37:51
Speaker 1: did an analytics say about that situation there to where
37:54
Speaker 1: you have the ball at the nine? Do you go
37:57
Speaker 1: for it now? I just because a lot of times
38:00
Speaker 1: in in the NFL and coaching in today's game, a
38:04
Speaker 1: lot of that decision making is influenced by analytics now,
38:08
Speaker 1: and the analytics will tell you to go for it
38:11
Speaker 1: in a lot of those situations. But analytics doesn't take
38:14
Speaker 1: into account jp momentum and human feeling. And you better
38:20
Speaker 1: have the analytics figured out before the situation comes up
38:23
Speaker 1: and have been prepared and ready to go because he can't. Oh,
38:26
Speaker 1: let's wait another and call another time out to figure
38:28
Speaker 1: out the analytics of this play, which I mean the
38:30
Speaker 1: game action, the game flow happens, you better all have
38:33
Speaker 1: all that pre planned and ready. If this scenario comes
38:36
Speaker 1: up and it's fourth and and five or whatever. If
38:40
Speaker 1: this yard line going in, do we go or not?
38:42
Speaker 1: You better have that done during the week, because you're
38:45
Speaker 1: not gonna be calling upstairs, Hey, guys, what's the do
38:49
Speaker 1: some algebra real quick for us? No, they have coaches
38:53
Speaker 1: have essentially it's like an analytic sheet and and it
38:57
Speaker 1: and it tells you what to do based upon on
39:00
Speaker 1: the score, the situation and everything else. So um, And
39:05
Speaker 1: I don't know if they have like multiple sheets that
39:08
Speaker 1: tell them that, or if they have somebody that's upstairs saying, hey, Urban,
39:12
Speaker 1: here's what the analytics say. And I would not be
39:15
Speaker 1: surprised if they do have somebody that's up in the
39:18
Speaker 1: booth that is dedicated to making sure that information has
39:20
Speaker 1: passed on. The Jaguars defense allowed four d thirty one
39:24
Speaker 1: yards to the Dolphins offense in the game, but once
39:28
Speaker 1: they got down on the red zone, Dolphins are only
39:30
Speaker 1: two of four in red zone conversions and that seems
39:33
Speaker 1: to have been the case a lot of the year.
39:34
Speaker 1: Jaguars defensively this year logs are you know, twenty nine
39:38
Speaker 1: overall in total defense, but their middle of the packing
39:41
Speaker 1: red zone defense in the NFL ben don't break kind
39:46
Speaker 1: of deal. If you can get them down the field goals,
39:48
Speaker 1: you can stay in some of these games. Well, and
39:51
Speaker 1: you know the Rashaan uh Rayshawn Jenkins actually has what
39:56
Speaker 1: he calls his top three goals of the defense. And
39:58
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this a couple of
39:59
Speaker 1: weeks go, but and he's very accurate about I mean,
40:02
Speaker 1: and I think this is reasonable for this defense. And
40:05
Speaker 1: number one, he says that to have the energy every game.
40:07
Speaker 1: Number two is to hold the opponent of field goals,
40:09
Speaker 1: and three is takeaways. And so the field goal things
40:13
Speaker 1: what you're talking about, red zone. The takeaways. They got
40:16
Speaker 1: one against the Miami Dolphins, but they still will be
40:19
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the league as far as takeaways go.
40:22
Speaker 1: And uh and that one was a little bit of
40:25
Speaker 1: a gift from toa I'm not exactly sure what he
40:28
Speaker 1: was trying to accomplish with that throw, but nonetheless you
40:30
Speaker 1: still got it. So so that was good. But they
40:34
Speaker 1: definitely have some work to do as a defense and
40:36
Speaker 1: in the back end. And one of the reasons why
40:38
Speaker 1: you have been talking about how they're playing more zone
40:41
Speaker 1: now one of the main reasons why is it you
40:44
Speaker 1: play a zone when you don't have the top dogs
40:47
Speaker 1: in the back end. If you had a bunch of
40:50
Speaker 1: great cover corners, then you would play more mans, let
40:54
Speaker 1: them run around, and right now you just don't have that.
40:57
Speaker 1: And a lot of people say, well, why would you
40:59
Speaker 1: trade away c J Henderson if you don't have the guys? Well,
41:03
Speaker 1: the reality is that c J was not producing at
41:06
Speaker 1: the level that this team needed and I don't even
41:09
Speaker 1: think he was all in with this organization. So that's
41:13
Speaker 1: that's water under the bridge. Now he's gone, and it's
41:16
Speaker 1: not necessarily water on the bridge because the one thing
41:18
Speaker 1: that you're getting out of that is that you're getting
41:22
Speaker 1: I think much better production out of the player that
41:25
Speaker 1: you acquired in Dan Arnold, and his production can even
41:27
Speaker 1: be better. But you have a legitimate threat in the
41:31
Speaker 1: passing game now at the tight end position. Going forward,
41:35
Speaker 1: we'll take our final time outs when we come back,
41:37

Speaker 1: Urban Meyer Show continues the Jaguars Radio Network. Welcome back
42:02
Speaker 1: to Erban Meyers Show, rolling along final moments of the
42:06
Speaker 1: program on this Tuesday afternoon. It's the bye week. Week
42:09
Speaker 1: seven in the NFL begins on Thursday night. We're looking
42:15
Speaker 1: on Twitter and in the a couple of breaks ago
42:17
Speaker 1: and kind of looking ahead and Von Miller. I don't
42:20
Speaker 1: know why this is popped in my head, but Von
42:22
Speaker 1: Miller for the Denver Broncos, fantastic outside linebacker, pass rusher.
42:28
Speaker 1: It's a banged up Cleveland team they're playing on Thursday
42:30
Speaker 1: Night football. He was asked by a reporter what he
42:32
Speaker 1: thought about the matchup. He said, well, I'm not sure
42:36
Speaker 1: who the tackle is I'm going against, but I'm going
42:38
Speaker 1: to kill him. That was his quote. That's a Von
42:41
Speaker 1: Miller quote. Yeah, I'm excited to see that. That's Thursday night.
42:45
Speaker 1: But the Jags are off this week. The bye week
42:48
Speaker 1: is here. The practice schedule still remains. I mean they
42:51
Speaker 1: were here today. Uh team had off yesterday after the
42:54
Speaker 1: travel back from London. In today and again tomorrow, but
42:58
Speaker 1: very light work just to kind of keep him move
43:00
Speaker 1: and get some some of that rejuve going. Right. But
43:04
Speaker 1: in as urban said, you know, to get everybody healthy,
43:06
Speaker 1: and and then also I think for the players just
43:09
Speaker 1: to take a mental break. You know sometimes that that
43:12
Speaker 1: can kind of get your refreshed and back focused again
43:15
Speaker 1: and ready ready to go back to work. That's eleven
43:19
Speaker 1: weeks in a row coming up. Well, well, you got
43:22
Speaker 1: eleven weeks in a row coming up. But think about
43:25
Speaker 1: I mean this started in July, and then you had
43:28
Speaker 1: three preseason games, and then obviously the games that you've
43:32
Speaker 1: played in the regular season already, that's a lot, and
43:35
Speaker 1: you haven't really had any time away to take a break.
43:39
Speaker 1: And so I know that a lot of the players
43:42
Speaker 1: will be looking very forward to that. Lloyd Trevor put
43:44
Speaker 1: it today, and we have a whole college season ahead
43:46
Speaker 1: of us after this week. It's eleven of It's a
43:49
Speaker 1: long for guys who have not been through it before.
43:51
Speaker 1: It's uh that he speaks the truth. I can tell
43:54
Speaker 1: you my first year in the NFL, and I remember
43:57
Speaker 1: it very well, and I just said to myself when
44:00
Speaker 1: I got about halfway through, and I was going, uh,
44:04
Speaker 1: we still got a long way to go. The logs,
44:08
Speaker 1: rest those legs. I'm gonna rest everything. We'll see you
44:11
Speaker 1: in the next week sometime maybe maybe maybe. Where we
44:16
Speaker 1: go next week? Seattle to Seattle. Geno Smith led Seahawks
