Jaguars Happy Hour: Tuesday, October 26 · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

0:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not a bad No deep deep so you
0:05
Speaker 1: gotta use the term that seems to be popular nowadays
0:08
Speaker 1: about when you're doing some uh research, etcetera. I'll say this,
0:13
Speaker 1: I did a deep dive into the couch and watch
0:15
Speaker 1: someone of college football on Saturday and a decent amount
0:19
Speaker 1: of NFL Sunday, but not all. I watched a little
0:21
Speaker 1: bit on Sunday night, and then I watched the first
0:25
Speaker 1: half with my game board in front of me, et cetera,
0:27
Speaker 1: because obviously the Jaguars getting ready to play the Seattle Seahawks.
0:30
Speaker 1: And so I was able to watch that game with
0:33
Speaker 1: my little cheat sheet in front of me and to
0:35
Speaker 1: just kind of make some notes. And and now I've
0:37
Speaker 1: got the game right here beside me watching it again,
0:40
Speaker 1: so you can rewatch and do the the deep understanding
0:44
Speaker 1: or the research you know on on the intricacies of
0:48
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. So it's all good. It's going to
0:50
Speaker 1: be an interesting week going out to Seattle, always is.
0:53
Speaker 1: The Jaguars historically not fared well out on the West Coast.
0:56
Speaker 1: We know the numbers they're they're they're not creating at all,
0:59
Speaker 1: as the West Coast teams typically don't perform well on
1:01
Speaker 1: the East Coast. I mean, I think that's kind of
1:04
Speaker 1: it works both ways. And I will say JP that
1:07
Speaker 1: the the Microsoft surfaces of today might be the greatest
1:11
Speaker 1: invention ever for deer home. Is this an ad No? Seriously.
1:15
Speaker 1: The reason I say that is because you can take
1:18
Speaker 1: this thing to a deer stand and you're gonna be
1:21
Speaker 1: watching game film at the same time why you're hunting.
1:25
Speaker 1: Isn't that amazing? Technology is grand? I'll say that that's
1:30
Speaker 1: pretty incredible. You can, you know, take your eyes off of,
1:34
Speaker 1: you know, the Seahawks offense and look up and there's
1:36
Speaker 1: Bambi walking right in front of the stand. That's really
1:40
Speaker 1: not good for Bamby, but good for you. It's actually
1:43
Speaker 1: good for Bambi because it's a distraction so keeps you
1:46
Speaker 1: away from it. So looking forward to that game, you know,
1:49
Speaker 1: it's a apparently the same I've never been to Seattle,
1:52
Speaker 1: never been to the stadium. The scenes incredible to Seattle.
1:57
Speaker 1: It's uh. I will say, it's a really cool stadium. Seattle,
2:01
Speaker 1: the city itself, I think is uh. Can be good,
2:04
Speaker 1: it can be bad. I know that there are some
2:06
Speaker 1: positive and some negatives, which I don't really want to
2:08
Speaker 1: go into. But the stadium itself is beautiful downtown. The
2:13
Speaker 1: noise level of what is it called now, lumin Field,
2:18
Speaker 1: luman Field, Uh, I don't remember exactly. There's been so
2:22
Speaker 1: many different names. I guess everything. Yeah, everything kind of
2:25
Speaker 1: has a lot of names when it comes to stadiums.
2:27
Speaker 1: But they built this in mind, with the the decibels
2:30
Speaker 1: and everything in mind. It is it is a cool stadium,
2:33
Speaker 1: and it is incredibly loud. I mean, their fan base
2:37
Speaker 1: is uh is. You know, for years the loudest outdoor
2:41
Speaker 1: place to play in was always the Buffalo Bills, and
2:43
Speaker 1: that's you know, kind of going back to when they
2:45
Speaker 1: were in their heyday with Marv Levy and Jim Kelly
2:47
Speaker 1: and Bruce Smith and I was actually a player back down.
2:50
Speaker 1: I mean, that place was incredibly loud. And then you
2:53
Speaker 1: go and you go to a game in Seattle when
2:56
Speaker 1: Seattle got good and now with Pete Carroll and there
2:59
Speaker 1: historically good, it seems like that place rivals Buffalo in
3:03
Speaker 1: their heyday and maybe even surpasses it. I mean, that's
3:06
Speaker 1: a that's a strong, strong UH fan base that is
3:11
Speaker 1: in Seattle, and they're passionate, incredibly passionate, plenty more on
3:15
Speaker 1: that game coming up a little later. In Jaguars Happy
3:18
Speaker 1: Hour today, let's hear from head coach Urban Meyer. He
3:20
Speaker 1: spoke with the media on Monday and a press conference,
3:23
Speaker 1: and you know what, no more excuses moving ahead for
3:27
Speaker 1: the offense or for the young quarterback. And that's another
3:31
Speaker 1: reason why I signed a guy like Marvin Jones and
3:33
Speaker 1: some older players. You know, I felt good about our
3:35
Speaker 1: offense line because you had a couple of veterans in
3:37
Speaker 1: there that I would learn from. But just the how
3:42
Speaker 1: when you start saying how many reps in practice you
3:45
Speaker 1: get compared to the college life, and yet you still
3:48
Speaker 1: have these unforced errors that we're making. So I feel
3:52
Speaker 1: good about the second run. We're gonna go on here
3:55
Speaker 1: about just the efficiency. And now we've been an assist
4:00
Speaker 1: them for a while. Now you know, the excuse of
4:02
Speaker 1: the new system, the excuse of a young quarterback, that's
4:05
Speaker 1: all gone because they're young quarterbacks playing pretty good. Yes,
4:09
Speaker 1: he is, Urban in fact, playing that better over the
4:11
Speaker 1: last few weeks. The numbers have gone up, the rating
4:14
Speaker 1: has gone up, everything's improving for him. The offense as
4:18
Speaker 1: the weeks have gone along, has felt better also, and
4:22
Speaker 1: the new is gone here they are. It's it's a
4:24
Speaker 1: third of the way through the season logs, there's no
4:26
Speaker 1: more new well just I mean, just a couple of
4:29
Speaker 1: little stats to kind of back up what you're saying
4:32
Speaker 1: and what Urban talked about. Last week, they had like
4:35
Speaker 1: almost four hundred yards of offense. I mean, that's pretty good.
4:38
Speaker 1: That's tremendous. And Trevor's numbers from the first three weeks
4:43
Speaker 1: of the season compared to the next block of three games,
4:47
Speaker 1: so weeks one to three and then weeks four to six.
4:49
Speaker 1: If you do a look at those numbers, the touchdown
4:53
Speaker 1: interception ratio obviously is a big difference. In the first
4:56
Speaker 1: three games, he ended up having five touchdown passes seven
5:00
Speaker 1: an interception. The last three games he only has two
5:02
Speaker 1: touchdown passes but only one interception, so he's kind of
5:06
Speaker 1: flipped the touchdown the interception ratio in the first three
5:09
Speaker 1: weeks of the second three weeks, the completion percentage has
5:13
Speaker 1: jumped twelve percentage points the first three weeks to the
5:16
Speaker 1: second three weeks. Okay, weeks one, three, four, six, and
5:20
Speaker 1: then the the yards per attempt went up two and
5:23
Speaker 1: a half yards about and then the rating went up
5:27
Speaker 1: thirty three and a half points. I mean that that
5:30
Speaker 1: that's significant improvement, and that I mean that's tangible, because
5:35
Speaker 1: I think for many weeks a lot of people were saying,
5:38
Speaker 1: you know, he just feels like he's playing better, excepta well,
5:40
Speaker 1: that's the numbers don't and the numbers are significant, and
5:44
Speaker 1: he's coming off of what was a tremendous game as
5:46
Speaker 1: rating this past game in London, which will by the way,
5:50
Speaker 1: he was the first rookie to ever win in London
5:54
Speaker 1: nineteen yards passing it was twenty five or forty one,
5:57
Speaker 1: but there was probably about three drops and two balls
6:00
Speaker 1: the receivers should have worked back to him, so he
6:01
Speaker 1: should have been thirty plus forty one for three hundred
6:07
Speaker 1: seventy yards. But he's still had a rating of ninety
6:10
Speaker 1: three point four. I mean, that's that's really good, really good.
6:14
Speaker 1: So all right, well, I don't want to take anything
6:16
Speaker 1: away from Trevor's performance personally. How much of it is
6:20
Speaker 1: Trevor making proper decisions. How much of it is the
6:24
Speaker 1: offense as it's been called the last few weeks, to
6:26
Speaker 1: maybe help him out, get him a little more comfortable,
6:29
Speaker 1: run the ball a little bit more with Robinson and
6:31
Speaker 1: Key moments or run the ball later in the game.
6:34
Speaker 1: Is there is it a balance there of those two things. Well,
6:36
Speaker 1: I think yeah, I think it's a balance. I think
6:38
Speaker 1: the execution has to be better. And then I think
6:40
Speaker 1: also the coaching gets better. They get more comfortable with
6:43
Speaker 1: with calling plays that I think fit him. And you know,
6:49
Speaker 1: in the first couple of weeks of the season, they
6:50
Speaker 1: weren't really running a whole lot of that read option
6:53
Speaker 1: type look stuff that at all exactly. And they increase
6:56
Speaker 1: some of that and that you could see and have
7:00
Speaker 1: helped some of the productivity with Trevor. But they're doing
7:03
Speaker 1: it without having him run the ball a ton and
7:06
Speaker 1: the especially in this past game at London, which is
7:09
Speaker 1: good because you don't want to over expose him to
7:12
Speaker 1: the run, you know. And look, he ran the ball
7:15
Speaker 1: a ton at Clemson, but you can't have him doing
7:18
Speaker 1: that at the pro level. He won't last long c
7:21
Speaker 1: RG three. By the way, if you're looking for evidence
7:24
Speaker 1: of that, Okay, he got hurt against jere Jackson's of
7:29
Speaker 1: the world. I mean, there's not many that are like
7:32
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson him, you know, so, and Trevor is not
7:35
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, nor will he ever be. He's athletic and
7:39
Speaker 1: he's a capable runner, but he's not a Michael Vick
7:43
Speaker 1: slash Lamar Jackson. So let's you know, just now, he's
7:47
Speaker 1: what he is. This is perfect and and I give them,
7:50
Speaker 1: I give the coaching staff credit seriously on this, okay,
7:54
Speaker 1: because they have showed an incredible amount of restraint, because
7:59
Speaker 1: here's the reality. If you're a coaching staff and you're
8:03
Speaker 1: getting criticized and you're not winning games, what's the urge?
8:07
Speaker 1: What's the natural urge? Okay, let's run the quarterback song.
8:11
Speaker 1: It'll make us better. Okay. But they've resisted that urge.
8:15
Speaker 1: And a lot of people say, well, they shouldn't have
8:17
Speaker 1: resisted it. No, absolutely they should. You you can't let
8:22
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence grow and and and a system that requires
8:27
Speaker 1: him to run. That's not what he is. That's not
8:31
Speaker 1: that's not what you want him to be at the NFL.
8:34
Speaker 1: He needs to be an NFL quarterback. This is this
8:37
Speaker 1: is no longer college. Yeah, the running thing is a
8:39
Speaker 1: short term vision. The long term grand vision is him
8:42
Speaker 1: to stand back there and and deal the ball out
8:45
Speaker 1: to everybody else. There are guys in the NFL that
8:49
Speaker 1: will hit you to that that when you get hit,
8:53
Speaker 1: your family feel it. Your entire family will feel it. Okay,
8:58
Speaker 1: in college football, you might have a guy or two
9:05
Speaker 1: every week that might be able to do that. But
9:08
Speaker 1: in the NFL, they are going to make you and
9:11
Speaker 1: your family feeling And I mean there's a term and
9:16
Speaker 1: I won't use it, but it's a grown type of man. Okay,
9:21
Speaker 1: but they grown grown blank man Okay that can hit you. Yes, okay,
9:29
Speaker 1: and you don't want Trevor getting hit like that. And
9:32
Speaker 1: but I seriously, what has impressed me the most about him.
9:37
Speaker 1: I mean the numbers, yes, I mean that that is impressive.
9:40
Speaker 1: But this week, and I'm gonna show this on Jaguars
9:43
Speaker 1: All Access, is his relationship with guys that he's worked with.
9:48
Speaker 1: You can tell it's there. Last week I showed how
9:51
Speaker 1: he had his pocket presence was just tremendous, and it
9:55
Speaker 1: really was. I mean it was. It was so good
9:57
Speaker 1: and well on display against the Miami often because Miami
10:00
Speaker 1: brought a lot of pressure, so there was a lot
10:03
Speaker 1: of opportunity for him to operate that presence, so to speak,
10:09
Speaker 1: and he did and did it to a t. And
10:12
Speaker 1: the more he works with people weekend, week out, season
10:18
Speaker 1: in season out, year in year out, like what Tom
10:21
Speaker 1: Brady has had the benefit of doing, and the works
10:23
Speaker 1: incredibly hard in the off season. Trevor Lawrence is gonna
10:26
Speaker 1: have that type of chemistry that he has with Marvio's
10:28
Speaker 1: Jones Jr. With with a few guys and and hopefully
10:32
Speaker 1: guys that are have immensely talented guys that have vertical
10:36
Speaker 1: speed and all that kind of stuff, so that this
10:38
Speaker 1: offense continues to get better. It takes time to build
10:40
Speaker 1: that though I'm not gonna happen over now, you know,
10:44
Speaker 1: just a season or two really, and we'll get this
10:46
Speaker 1: at some point. But look, just like the defense, you
10:48
Speaker 1: want to see rapid improvement out of the defense and
10:51
Speaker 1: see them do better affecting the quarterback, because I mean,
10:53
Speaker 1: composing quarterbacks are are having great success against the Jaguars defense.
10:58
Speaker 1: But look, you just you you it's the run defense
11:01
Speaker 1: from last year to this year. Last year they were
11:04
Speaker 1: one of the worst teams in the league against the run.
11:07
Speaker 1: And now if you look at like per yards or
11:10
Speaker 1: yards per Russia allowed, they're one of the best teams
11:12
Speaker 1: in the league. And they're about the middle of the
11:15
Speaker 1: pack as far as overall yards Russian game per game allowed.
11:20
Speaker 1: But you can't. You can't address everything in one off season,
11:24
Speaker 1: and it takes more than one draft to get impact players.
11:28
Speaker 1: And in due time they will get that, and they're
11:30
Speaker 1: going to have that opportunity. They obviously have to take
11:33
Speaker 1: advantage of the opportunity logs. When we come back, we'll
11:37
Speaker 1: go to defense and see what you've found in the
11:40
Speaker 1: bye week. We can do that. I'm sure you found
11:43
Speaker 1: something in the bye week, and and I'm continuing to
11:45
Speaker 1: find stuff all the time JP. I'm doing my deep research.
11:49
Speaker 1: I like that, and we're gonna get some answers when
11:51
Speaker 1: we come back. On the defensive side of the football.
11:54
Speaker 1: We are often running on a Tuesday, it's Jaguars Happy
11:57
Speaker 1: Hour on the Jaguars Hard Rock Sports Book digital net work.
12:05
Speaker 1: I think we went into the U into the storm
12:09
Speaker 1: thinking that we're gonna be playing via very high percentage
12:15
Speaker 1: and man covered, and we we we figured out quickly
12:18
Speaker 1: that they're gonna have to mix in a water zone.
12:21
Speaker 1: And then that's where you say, okay, the number of
12:23
Speaker 1: reps you have to get a team ready to play
12:24
Speaker 1: that zone cover. You can't say openness, play, but go
12:26
Speaker 1: play zone. So that bye week was good. We spent
12:29
Speaker 1: some time on that. The combination of both, that's the
12:32
Speaker 1: biggest thing on defense and then the flat m as.
12:36
Speaker 1: You know, there's four times we just turned the guy
12:38
Speaker 1: loose in man coverage because of bunch routes, pick routes
12:41
Speaker 1: or whatever. And when you're talking about four times that
12:45
Speaker 1: in those teams that were really close. So I see this.
12:50
Speaker 1: I really like we're headed in defense, but we aren't
12:52
Speaker 1: need to start seen it. That's Urban Meyer Monday and
12:56
Speaker 1: welcome back. It's Jaguar's Happy Hour. M as are missed endments,
13:00
Speaker 1: by the way. J P. Shadrick, Jeff Lagman, m A
13:03
Speaker 1: s mm e's it's it's kind of the same thing.
13:06
Speaker 1: Mental errors, mental errors, and uh, we used to have
13:09
Speaker 1: a fine pot. Really, oh yeah, what was the fine
13:14
Speaker 1: like a hunter bucks? Well, we had we had actually
13:16
Speaker 1: a grand, very large fine system, Mike. And typically in
13:21
Speaker 1: the NFL, you and you'll have this, it'll be in
13:23
Speaker 1: a meeting room. You might have a defensive pot. When
13:27
Speaker 1: I say pot, you know like a where if you
13:30
Speaker 1: if you have and and here's findable offenses. Okay, Um,
13:35
Speaker 1: mental errors, right, loaves, miss tackles. Nobody likes those, Um,
13:43
Speaker 1: late for meetings, etcetera. And so this is outside of
13:47
Speaker 1: the you know, this is not this is not like
13:51
Speaker 1: take it out of your check. No, no, no, no,
13:52
Speaker 1: this is this is internal. This is an internal this
13:56
Speaker 1: is me, you and Joe and Reburn. We're all offensive
14:00
Speaker 1: lineman broadcasters. And let's say you loaf for a show.
14:03
Speaker 1: We could find you a hundred dollars that goes in
14:05
Speaker 1: the kid exactly, but it doesn't come out of my paycheck.
14:07
Speaker 1: I have to put cash in, so it's after tax dollars. Okay,
14:14
Speaker 1: cash has to be put in, so so you get
14:17
Speaker 1: there's a like for example, if you have a loaf.
14:20
Speaker 1: This is back in my day, which the find were
14:23
Speaker 1: obviously much cheaper than probably what they are now. But
14:26
Speaker 1: if you had like a loaf and practice, it would
14:28
Speaker 1: be let's say ten bucks, but in a game it
14:31
Speaker 1: would be it would be double, would be twenty, maybe
14:34
Speaker 1: even more so if you had an emmy mental error
14:38
Speaker 1: and practice it would be twice as much if you
14:41
Speaker 1: had one in a game. But all of it's find
14:44
Speaker 1: heable practice because that gets people to get on their
14:49
Speaker 1: ps and cues more efficient. Right, you keep throwing money
14:52
Speaker 1: out my wallet. Yeah, I'm gonna, you know, probably pay
14:54
Speaker 1: more attention. And um, I mean even if you passed
14:57
Speaker 1: gas in a meeting, that was I mean, I hate
15:00
Speaker 1: to say that, but I mean it's Look, if you're
15:02
Speaker 1: in a room full of men and guys start stinking
15:04
Speaker 1: it up, you've got to have a way to scourage
15:06
Speaker 1: him from doing that. So you had a fine system.
15:10
Speaker 1: So you would have all this money that you would
15:13
Speaker 1: collect throughout the season. Okay, and JP, I've got a
15:17
Speaker 1: feeling you would be putting a lot of money in
15:19
Speaker 1: just saying but if I don't know what, I'll say that.
15:24
Speaker 1: But you would have all this money that goes into
15:27
Speaker 1: this pool or pot. Okay. And at the end of
15:31
Speaker 1: the year, we used to have a positional party. In
15:37
Speaker 1: other words, we would all defensive lineman. And this started
15:41
Speaker 1: when I was in New York and we had the
15:42
Speaker 1: same thing here. But you would take all that money
15:45
Speaker 1: and we would get car services and we would go
15:48
Speaker 1: and eat some of the best fine dining and in
15:52
Speaker 1: New York City could offer, and then we would have
15:54
Speaker 1: a night out afterwards, and the coach was included, not
15:56
Speaker 1: the head coach, the positional code and we would have
16:00
Speaker 1: a great time. So that all so we you know,
16:02
Speaker 1: for all the guys that had blows and mental errors
16:05
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff, we would be eating
16:08
Speaker 1: on their dime. So you're how are you going to
16:12
Speaker 1: equate this to the m A s that Urban was
16:15
Speaker 1: just talking. I'm saying is that if if they if
16:18
Speaker 1: they don't have the fine system pot going, they need
16:21
Speaker 1: to institute it. You know, I'm gonna find you for
16:23
Speaker 1: having too many pins on the desk, not possible called
16:27
Speaker 1: being prepared. That would actually be a credit out of
16:30
Speaker 1: the partition. Need have all these pins that are ready
16:35
Speaker 1: at the hand. But that that is accountability. It can't
16:42
Speaker 1: come and this is seriously now, accountability in the NFL.
16:47
Speaker 1: It can kind of the coach can demand it and
16:49
Speaker 1: ask and all that kind of stuff. But the best
16:52
Speaker 1: kind of accountability comes from peers, from teammates. When when
16:56
Speaker 1: teammates demand more of each other, that that's when I
17:00
Speaker 1: think greatness can happen. You have to have you know,
17:04
Speaker 1: I mean you've been in there obviously. Um, when you
17:07
Speaker 1: have players who have skins on the wall that have
17:10
Speaker 1: been at it for a long time in the NFL,
17:12
Speaker 1: that are veteran players that have played at a high level,
17:15
Speaker 1: that goes a longer way than some young new player
17:18
Speaker 1: trying to be a leader all of a sudden. I mean,
17:21
Speaker 1: those guys it's hard around for a while. It's hard
17:23
Speaker 1: for me. It's it's hard for young players to be
17:26
Speaker 1: a leader because to be a leader in the in
17:29
Speaker 1: the National Football League, you have to be you have
17:32
Speaker 1: to be a good player, and you have to be
17:33
Speaker 1: a proven player. It's very difficult. That's why I think
17:37
Speaker 1: it's very unique that Trevor Lawrence, which is in it's
17:39
Speaker 1: incredible that a rookie quarterback comes in the door and
17:43
Speaker 1: gets elected as a team captain. I mean, wow, I
17:46
Speaker 1: mean that's big time now, I mean that's really it's
17:49
Speaker 1: big time. That's almost unheard of for that to happen. So,
17:53
Speaker 1: I mean it's a credit to Trevor. But typically it
17:56
Speaker 1: takes players time to prove it, to prove that they
18:01
Speaker 1: are a good player, and Trevor proved some of that
18:03
Speaker 1: during training camp obviously, but still you need to you
18:06
Speaker 1: need to be a good player to be a leader.
18:07
Speaker 1: But I mean, really, and I'm sure that part of
18:10
Speaker 1: the research that the coaching staff did is now trying
18:14
Speaker 1: to demand as much accountability as they can to eliminate
18:18
Speaker 1: mental errors to eliminate mistakes or penalties or things that
18:21
Speaker 1: can be controlled, because that's what costs you opportunities to win.
18:26
Speaker 1: But when you start having a system of accountability that
18:29
Speaker 1: comes from the players, and you have great players that
18:32
Speaker 1: are demanding that accountability and you have great players that
18:35
Speaker 1: can execute, that's when you truly have the chance to
18:38
Speaker 1: be great. It's gonna be one of the bigger differences.
18:41
Speaker 1: And I'm sure we'll hear from Urban on this coming
18:44
Speaker 1: up in the Urban Meyers Show five o'clock. You know,
18:47
Speaker 1: practice scheduled times. He talked about it a little bit
18:49
Speaker 1: on on Monday. There's not a lot of practice time
18:52
Speaker 1: in the NFL, especially during the season. I mean, like
18:55
Speaker 1: the Friday practice is a walkthrough basically, and then Wednesday
18:58
Speaker 1: is the big, big install all day. But there's no
19:02
Speaker 1: room for error during practice because you have to go
19:05
Speaker 1: use the reps that are there, at least the somewhat
19:08
Speaker 1: live reps in practice. And coming from college, I mean
19:11
Speaker 1: that's a totally different realm in college. Now those guys
19:13
Speaker 1: are you have a union right in the National Football League,
19:17
Speaker 1: So there are rules, and I mean the rules actually
19:20
Speaker 1: go down to the exact amount of time that you're
19:22
Speaker 1: allowed to be on a football field for practice, The
19:26
Speaker 1: number of practices that you can have in pads, the
19:31
Speaker 1: number of practices that you can have during the week
19:36
Speaker 1: are all it's all governed. I mean there's but here,
19:39
Speaker 1: here's the thing that and a lot of people want
19:41
Speaker 1: to use that as an excuse or a reason to
19:44
Speaker 1: point to while that's why we're not we're not doing
19:46
Speaker 1: good enough, and this is why we're you know, we
19:48
Speaker 1: don't get the opportunity to get enough practice. We don't
19:50
Speaker 1: get them enough reps to be able to get guys.
19:52
Speaker 1: But no, because the rules are the same for everybody
19:55
Speaker 1: in the in the entire league. So there are other
19:59
Speaker 1: ways that you have to be creative. So the time
20:01
Speaker 1: that you have in the National Football League, the meeting time,
20:04
Speaker 1: the practice time, the on the field time, the weight
20:06
Speaker 1: room time, all of that is literally I mean, they
20:09
Speaker 1: have a clock on everything. So you have to utilize
20:13
Speaker 1: that clock to the best of your ability to maximize
20:17
Speaker 1: the benefit that you're going to get from the amount
20:20
Speaker 1: of time that the players actually spend in the building. Now,
20:24
Speaker 1: there are also ways that outside are away from the
20:27
Speaker 1: building and off of that clock that a player can
20:29
Speaker 1: get better that's where the Microsoft surfaces, the film study
20:33
Speaker 1: at home, those type of things that can happen, and
20:37
Speaker 1: and that's also partly player driven. I'll give you another example.
20:42
Speaker 1: Who is in your opinion? JP? This is a little
20:45
Speaker 1: trivia question and Joe is also available for this too.
20:51
Speaker 1: Tell me the greatest, one of the greatest defensive backs
20:53
Speaker 1: to ever play for the San Francisco forty Niners. Oh,
20:57
Speaker 1: running a lot, absolutely safety, okay, without a doubt. And
21:01
Speaker 1: Ronnie was my teammate in New York. And I learned
21:04
Speaker 1: so much from Ronnie because when Ronnie came to us
21:08
Speaker 1: in New York, and this was in the era of
21:11
Speaker 1: we had Bruce cost as our head coach. Pete Carroll
21:14
Speaker 1: was our defensive coordinator, who the Jaguars will face this week,
21:17
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, and they bring
21:19
Speaker 1: in Ronnie. And Ronnie was obviously towards the end of
21:23
Speaker 1: his career but still a phenomenal player. But Ronnie taught
21:28
Speaker 1: us what it was like to be to to do
21:31
Speaker 1: more than just what was on the clock. We didn't
21:33
Speaker 1: have any guidelines for us back then as far as
21:36
Speaker 1: the amount of time that you could spend our maximum
21:38
Speaker 1: amount of time that you could spend in the building.
21:40
Speaker 1: But Ronnie wanted guys to commit. And this is where
21:43
Speaker 1: I talked about about great players too many more of
21:46
Speaker 1: their teammates makes a team get better. When Ronnie came in,
21:51
Speaker 1: Ronnie said, look, when we finished with practice, a lot
21:54
Speaker 1: of times you would see guys just start scatting out
21:56
Speaker 1: the building. They were gone. They would, you know, do
21:59
Speaker 1: the practice thing. Any meetings all morning, you have a
22:01
Speaker 1: pretty quick lunch, and then have practice, and then they
22:04
Speaker 1: might get a quick workout in and then out the
22:06
Speaker 1: building they go, you know, they want to get out
22:08
Speaker 1: of there. Ronny's like, wait a minute, what where's our
22:12
Speaker 1: film study at? I mean, this is a great opportunity.
22:15
Speaker 1: So Ronnie would literally go, and this is before teams
22:18
Speaker 1: had catered food and cafeterias and all this stuff. He
22:23
Speaker 1: went out and catered food service, bring in soult food
22:28
Speaker 1: and and cater for the entire defense. So we would
22:32
Speaker 1: have a catered dinner twice a week, and h Thin
22:37
Speaker 1: goes on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and the food was excellent, excellent,
22:42
Speaker 1: and we would all stay and have dinner, you know,
22:46
Speaker 1: early dinner, and watch film together. I mean that was
22:50
Speaker 1: what it was about is about getting guys to commit,
22:53
Speaker 1: getting guys to doing the extra kind of thing. And
22:55
Speaker 1: Ronnie was a big part of that. And and uh,
22:58
Speaker 1: great player, great leader, and I learned a lot for them.
23:01
Speaker 1: Let's come back in a moment and get into a
23:03
Speaker 1: little more of the defensive talk. Urban touched on that
23:06
Speaker 1: a moment ago. We heard him talk about maybe playing
23:09
Speaker 1: a little too much man defense and maybe moving more
23:14
Speaker 1: towards zoning. Sure thoughts on what that actually might look
23:17
Speaker 1: like moving ahead. Okay, if you forget to do that,
23:20
Speaker 1: I'm gonna find you. You're not gonna go indoor? Then
23:23
Speaker 1: will be even accountability because of your accountability? Pod? Yes
23:28
Speaker 1: it is. I like it. It's the accountability episode of
23:32
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Hard Rock Sports Book
23:36
Speaker 1: Digital Network. Jaguars Happy Hours brought to you by t
23:43
Speaker 1: I a a bank, turn potential into progress, and by
23:47
Speaker 1: public where shopping is a pleasure. Welcome back. It walks
23:57
Speaker 1: Happy Hour on a Tuesday. After Dude, the bye week
24:01
Speaker 1: is over. It's on to Seattle for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
24:03
Speaker 1: J P Shadrick, Jeff Flagaman coming up at five o'clock.
24:07
Speaker 1: It's the urban Meyer Show with Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer.
24:10
Speaker 1: We'll get his thoughts on the bye week and what
24:12
Speaker 1: they've done, what they've looked at and moving ahead toward
24:17
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. Jaguars game day broadcasts are presented by
24:20
Speaker 1: by Start Credit Union and the Dailies Place schedule is
24:23
Speaker 1: starting to wind down now for the fall. Only two
24:27
Speaker 1: shows left on the schedule came Brown two nights November
24:31
Speaker 1: twelve and thirteen. These are rescheduled dates from last year,
24:35
Speaker 1: so get your tickets Dailies Place dot com. It has
24:39
Speaker 1: been a great run at Dailies Place and actually an
24:41
Speaker 1: all time run. And all the folks over there to
24:44
Speaker 1: do um to work in the ticketing department for Daily's
24:48
Speaker 1: Bobby and the security and the back endside Jackie over
24:51
Speaker 1: there at Daily's Place. They have been working there. You
24:54
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about working their tails off. They had.
24:57
Speaker 1: It's one week. They had like six shows in one week,
25:00
Speaker 1: night after night after night, load in, load out in
25:02
Speaker 1: the morning late. I mean, it's like busy folks to
25:08
Speaker 1: get them all in like a short window of time.
25:10
Speaker 1: I was asked during the commercial break, did did Ronnie
25:14
Speaker 1: Lott pay every day? Every week. That's a good point.
25:18
Speaker 1: Joe and Fortunado brought this up. You know, you guys
25:20
Speaker 1: were just mooching off Ronnie Lot the whole time. We yeah, no,
25:24
Speaker 1: we uh we we shared responsibility with that. But but
25:29
Speaker 1: typically I will say that put it this way, if
25:33
Speaker 1: there was a guy on the team and he was
25:35
Speaker 1: making minimum we you know, he wasn't expected to buy dinner. Okay,
25:41
Speaker 1: Usually the guys that were making the big coin were
25:45
Speaker 1: the ones that would pay for something like that. Well,
25:47
Speaker 1: that's nice of you, guys, way to GOLs. Well, I
25:51
Speaker 1: actually I wasn't making big coin then first round pick
25:55
Speaker 1: of course. Yeah, but I mean JP, I and this
25:57
Speaker 1: is kind of this is this is real, maybe not
26:00
Speaker 1: in the leather helmet days. If you if you took
26:04
Speaker 1: the first round pick money of nineteen nine, seriously, and
26:08
Speaker 1: this is just for for people that had no clue.
26:11
Speaker 1: If you take the first round pick money for a
26:13
Speaker 1: first round pick in nineteen eighty nine, you would make
26:16
Speaker 1: more money now making minimum wage your fourth first four
26:21
Speaker 1: years in the NFL than you would if you were
26:23
Speaker 1: first round pick in nineteen nine, which is tremendous. I
26:26
Speaker 1: mean it's great. I means the league has grown and
26:28
Speaker 1: they're making more money and it's becoming it has become
26:31
Speaker 1: bigger than ever. So but you know the thing about
26:35
Speaker 1: the the fine system you know we had. We even had,
26:40
Speaker 1: for example, we would put money in a pot for
26:43
Speaker 1: let's say, hey, first guy that causes a fumble in
26:46
Speaker 1: this game, and guys would throw in some money into that,
26:49
Speaker 1: and uh remember bounty Gate. Yeah that, I mean that's
26:55
Speaker 1: kind of what we had. Fine line, though, you don't
26:57
Speaker 1: want to go that well, I know, I mean we
26:59
Speaker 1: I mean we had some pots that probably would have
27:02
Speaker 1: drawn some scrutiny back in the day for maybe a
27:07
Speaker 1: guy not finishing a game somehow or another. But you know, yeah,
27:15
Speaker 1: I mean, is this like, do we need to lay
27:17
Speaker 1: you down the couch and look at you two. We're
27:19
Speaker 1: digging deep here on something today. System This might be
27:24
Speaker 1: a die, but we don't need to go so deep on. No,
27:27
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go any deeper than that. But I
27:29
Speaker 1: mean that seriously. That and and the whole point that
27:32
Speaker 1: I bring this up is that is that when when
27:35
Speaker 1: stuff like that comes from the players, I mean, that's
27:39
Speaker 1: that's what you want. I mean, you want guys that
27:41
Speaker 1: are motivated to perform and demanding more of their teammates
27:44
Speaker 1: and expecting more and trying, you're trying to find creative
27:47
Speaker 1: ways to get guys to be motivated. I mean, that's
27:49
Speaker 1: it's it makes it fun. You know, it makes it
27:52
Speaker 1: fun because you know, give you a reason. But and
27:55
Speaker 1: here's the other thing it does. Uh. For example, when
28:00
Speaker 1: when we had Pete Carroll is alread defensive coordinated to
28:03
Speaker 1: use Pete Carroll's story, he had this thing it was
28:05
Speaker 1: called he always called it the beaver. You know how
28:08
Speaker 1: like the University of Miami, you got the big necklace
28:11
Speaker 1: and if you get a turnover, you wear the big
28:13
Speaker 1: necklace to turnover chain. Yes, okay, is that what it's
28:16
Speaker 1: called turned With Pete when he was already defensive coordinator
28:20
Speaker 1: in New York, we had a stuffed animal that was
28:24
Speaker 1: a beaver, right, And he chose the beaver because the
28:28
Speaker 1: beaver was the hardest working animal in the animal kingdom.
28:31
Speaker 1: And he always felt that getting takeaways and this is
28:35
Speaker 1: kind of all the records on the record now, I know.
28:38
Speaker 1: But but because the beaver was the hardest working animal
28:41
Speaker 1: in the animal kingdom, getting takeaways and causing fumbles was
28:46
Speaker 1: actually because of hard work and attention so I mean,
28:50
Speaker 1: you can't cause a fumble unless you're going for the ball.
28:52
Speaker 1: Do you see Darius Leonard Saturday Sunday night the Indianapolis.
28:57
Speaker 1: So we had to get a forced humble if you
29:00
Speaker 1: don't force the fumble. So we would have pots every
29:04
Speaker 1: week for the beaver. Okay, so whoever got the you know,
29:08
Speaker 1: the call stumble, they would not only get the pot,
29:11
Speaker 1: jp but they have that thing in your locker. No,
29:14
Speaker 1: it was hanging or you would wear it like like
29:17
Speaker 1: a necklace. It was it was stuffed beaver. You guys,
29:21
Speaker 1: that's that's good motivations. Kind of embarrassing grown men were
29:24
Speaker 1: having a stuffed animals from motivation to get a takeaway
29:26
Speaker 1: in a football game, whatever. Work. It was just a
29:29
Speaker 1: point of emphasis with Pete. You know, hey, look, you
29:32
Speaker 1: know it's a it's the hardest working animal. We want
29:34
Speaker 1: to be the hardest working animals. We want to be
29:36
Speaker 1: the ones that are going after the ball. It's about
29:39
Speaker 1: the ball. And then we instituted a little pot system
29:42
Speaker 1: to spice it up a little bit. But I will
29:46
Speaker 1: say that it got We had a pot that kept
29:48
Speaker 1: rolling over because we had a couple of games. Because
29:50
Speaker 1: you know, every week you would put more money into it.
29:52
Speaker 1: We had a game to where the pot got very
29:54
Speaker 1: large and it was one of the worst tackling performances. Whoever,
30:00
Speaker 1: everybody was going for the dagon ball was terrible. Nobody
30:06
Speaker 1: was going for the tackle. Everybody was trying to cause
30:08
Speaker 1: a fun. Professional football is all about the money. It
30:10
Speaker 1: always is about the money. You would be surprised jp
30:14
Speaker 1: You can have guys making millions of dollars and if
30:16
Speaker 1: you put the you would be surprised at what they
30:19
Speaker 1: would do for a five cash you know, a little
30:22
Speaker 1: while back in this show, we heard from Urban Meyer
30:25
Speaker 1: and the defensive adjustments that they've seen over the bye week,
30:29
Speaker 1: looked at they're thinking about making and he referenced the
30:33
Speaker 1: secondary and the coverage. A lot of the year earlier
30:37
Speaker 1: they thought they could be more man demand coverage. They
30:40
Speaker 1: had the personnel they thought earlier the season. That has
30:42
Speaker 1: changed a little bit since then, So maybe it's more
30:46
Speaker 1: zone or they're using both. Anyway, what was the balance
30:50
Speaker 1: look before and what could be the field moving ahead? Well, look,
30:53
Speaker 1: when when you had the expectation of playing man, you
30:57
Speaker 1: were thinking, Okay, we've got a top ten sellar from
31:00
Speaker 1: last year and C J. Henderson and he'll be good.
31:04
Speaker 1: We've got a second round pick in Tyson Campbell will
31:07
Speaker 1: be good. And then we've spent a ton of money
31:09
Speaker 1: in free agency on Shat Griffin. He's gonna be good.
31:11
Speaker 1: So now we've got three corners. Let's play man. Okay, great? Yeah? Uh, Well,
31:17
Speaker 1: a couple of things happen. C J didn't play to
31:21
Speaker 1: the level that you wanted him to. It looked like
31:23
Speaker 1: he was questioning his love for football. And then he
31:27
Speaker 1: got hurt, and then he got traded. Okay, so there's
31:29
Speaker 1: one guy out out the window. Uh, Tyson Campbell struggling
31:34
Speaker 1: a little bit, okay, and also injury. So you add
31:38
Speaker 1: those two things together. Now you have another player probably
31:42
Speaker 1: not at the level that and I believe he will
31:45
Speaker 1: get to a better level and a level that makes
31:47
Speaker 1: you very happy with him, but right now he's not there.
31:50
Speaker 1: And then Shaq Griffin is good. He's had some opportunities
31:56
Speaker 1: that he hasn't been able to take advantage of. So
31:59
Speaker 1: when you when you have a certain level of expectation,
32:04
Speaker 1: you have to have the performance that also follows that
32:08
Speaker 1: to be able to execute man coverage. Because if you
32:11
Speaker 1: can execute man coverage, and it's This is no criticism,
32:15
Speaker 1: but the reality is that you have to have great
32:18
Speaker 1: players that can play man to play man, and if
32:21
Speaker 1: you don't have great players, then you have to be
32:25
Speaker 1: better at what I call team's own defense, which means
32:30
Speaker 1: keeping your eyes back to the quarterback and you're relying
32:33
Speaker 1: on watching and reading the eyes of the quarterback and
32:36
Speaker 1: reacting to route concepts and and attaching yourself to man
32:40
Speaker 1: coverage within his own I mean, there's a lot of
32:43
Speaker 1: ways to look at that, but that's what they have
32:45
Speaker 1: to do, and that's there's nothing wrong with that. There's
32:47
Speaker 1: many teams in the league that would like to play man,
32:49
Speaker 1: but they can't just because they don't have the personnel.
32:52
Speaker 1: And hopefully in the future they will get the personnel
32:56
Speaker 1: to where they can run more man. But let's not
32:59
Speaker 1: forget he or It's not like they're going to completely
33:03
Speaker 1: stay away from man coverage. They're still gonna play both.
33:05
Speaker 1: They have to. It's just just just changed and it's
33:09
Speaker 1: already happened. They've already started playing a lot more zone,
33:12
Speaker 1: so it's just changing the mix of man and zone,
33:16
Speaker 1: the percentages of each more zone, more eyes to the
33:20
Speaker 1: quarterback too correct And and also if you have a
33:28
Speaker 1: missed assignment or a missed coverage in zone, other people
33:33
Speaker 1: see it. So, for example, if I mean you are
33:37
Speaker 1: if we can get this this two shot here, both
33:39
Speaker 1: of us in the and the look here TV. Okay,
33:42
Speaker 1: let's say I'm not here. Well JP's eyes or then
33:45
Speaker 1: Joe's the quarterback which is behind the camera. There was
33:48
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Okay, you're gonna I if all of a sudden,
33:51
Speaker 1: I blow the coverage over here, You've seen that the
33:53
Speaker 1: quarterbacks throwing the ball over here, and you're as you're looking,
33:56
Speaker 1: you're going, oh, my gosh, I gotta help because that's
33:59
Speaker 1: gonna be a come polation over there. Well, if it's man,
34:01
Speaker 1: you're get where's your back to the quarterback, I'm running
34:04
Speaker 1: down field chasing my guy. You're not gonna see Joe
34:07
Speaker 1: throw the ball. So by the time you see that
34:10
Speaker 1: the ball is over here and I've blown my coverage,
34:12
Speaker 1: you don't have an opportunity to react. And so that's
34:15
Speaker 1: what zone does. It just gives you the opportunity to
34:17
Speaker 1: maybe minimize some of the damage. You're underestimating my reaction time.
34:22
Speaker 1: I must say that underestimating you're underestimating I I can react.
34:27
Speaker 1: I would be very react. I can react with a microphone.
34:31
Speaker 1: You're great, Jake coverage enough football. I couldn't do it. No,
34:37
Speaker 1: probably not. But I mean, look at that's and and
34:40
Speaker 1: there's and there's nothing wrong with this team going to
34:43
Speaker 1: more zone. But now the challenges is that you know,
34:46
Speaker 1: you prepared all preseason to play more man. Well, now
34:51
Speaker 1: you're playing more zone. So you now also kind of
34:54
Speaker 1: have to start trying to teach or doing again. I
34:59
Speaker 1: don't want to say you're installing, because you've already had
35:01
Speaker 1: an installed, but you have to make sure that you're
35:02
Speaker 1: teaching the concepts of the zone. And and it's not
35:05
Speaker 1: as easy to do that now because you're in the
35:07
Speaker 1: regular season and you have to install game plans, and
35:10
Speaker 1: you know, it's hard to say, let's look get let's
35:12
Speaker 1: get you a bunch of reps and cover two and
35:14
Speaker 1: three and four and five. I mean, look, you don't
35:16
Speaker 1: have the time to do all that. And I mean
35:18
Speaker 1: not that this is a huge concern, but you got
35:21
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Joe Colin, Right, You've got three different secondary
35:26

35:33
Speaker 1: very large staff urban here, so I mean there's plenty
35:35
Speaker 1: of people involved, plenty of I mean your teacher to
35:38
Speaker 1: student ratio, if you want to look at it from
35:40
Speaker 1: that aspect, is very good. Yeah. Right, we'll come back

Speaker 1: about the rest of the year, so I will the
37:55

37:57
Speaker 1: I mean Nicky has come on. That would be something
38:00
Speaker 1: you showed a whole Seattle with a whole suit on it. Everything.
38:04
Speaker 1: I can't do that. I promised my lovely daughter that
38:08
Speaker 1: I would wear the mouse ears for the game. That
38:10
Speaker 1: we'll have this photographic evidence is the only thing I can.
38:15
Speaker 1: They make that true as long as it doesn't interfere
38:18
Speaker 1: with wearing the headset, well, we'll work on that. We
38:22
Speaker 1: can work. We can want to see how the ears
38:25
Speaker 1: fit and headset fit, and then we'll go from there.
38:28
Speaker 1: Typing now for the Baptist Health Injury Report, Changing healthcare
38:31
Speaker 1: for good. We take a look at what Urban said
38:35
Speaker 1: last week, Bart Campbell Jack should be back to action
38:39
Speaker 1: this week. We'll hear what coach has to say coming up,
38:42
Speaker 1: and just a little bit on the Urban Meyer Show.
38:45
Speaker 1: Injured reserve official name still shark lender can oh you
38:48
Speaker 1: want to see et N and Terry Godwin the wide receiver,
38:51
Speaker 1: but there are you know, bye week, it's week seven,
38:55
Speaker 1: going on week eight. You got some guys dinged up
38:57
Speaker 1: a little bit. Give him an extra week off, you know,
39:00
Speaker 1: maybe come back in the Seattle game with at least
39:03
Speaker 1: closer to a full assortment of of personnel than you've
39:07
Speaker 1: had in a week or two. Yeah, and it's uh,
39:10
Speaker 1: you know with Bart's getting him back because a J
39:13
Speaker 1: is still on I R that will be big. And
39:16
Speaker 1: hopefully he gets back from the concussion protocol. I guess
39:19
Speaker 1: that's what he was in with the bye week. He
39:21
Speaker 1: should be fine, or at least you hope he's fine.
39:24
Speaker 1: Tyson coming back from the toe that I think that's
39:27
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting because it looks like a struggle the
39:30
Speaker 1: last few weeks. Yeah, because you know, they kind of
39:31
Speaker 1: warmed him up a little bit before and I'm not
39:34
Speaker 1: sure what they didn't that it was the uh he
39:37
Speaker 1: warmed up for since i was at home. It was
39:39
Speaker 1: a home game. I'm trying to think of the home game. Bards. No, No,
39:45
Speaker 1: it was it was the home game right before London,
39:46
Speaker 1: who was at against Tennessee. Tennessee the Tennessee game. He
39:49
Speaker 1: went out there and warmed up. They're kind of checking
39:51
Speaker 1: in and he did not look anywhere near ready to go.
39:55
Speaker 1: And then I don't know how that work. Did they
39:57
Speaker 1: leave him home, did he even travel to London. I'm
39:59
Speaker 1: not sure, but he was inactive for that game, and
40:03
Speaker 1: so you gotta be careful with a toe or a
40:06
Speaker 1: foot with a guy that who makes it a living
40:10
Speaker 1: running the ball, are running a lot and chasing the ball,
40:14
Speaker 1: and there's ways to do that. They actually a couple
40:17
Speaker 1: of different things that they can do to help a toe.
40:19
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it's turf toe or whatever,
40:20
Speaker 1: but to help feet and toes overall, they put metal
40:23
Speaker 1: plates in your shoe. Uh. Some if it's like a toe,
40:28
Speaker 1: they'll use like what they call a half a plate,
40:30
Speaker 1: so the front half of your shoe will have like
40:32
Speaker 1: a little metal plate under the the insole. And so
40:36
Speaker 1: what that does is it kind of restricts the amount
40:38
Speaker 1: of bending that that's happening with the toes. And then
40:42
Speaker 1: how do you even run around like that? Though you
40:44
Speaker 1: would be I mean, it gives you it still has
40:46
Speaker 1: a little flexibility, it just doesn't make the shoe like,
40:49
Speaker 1: you know, twist and flexible. And then if and in
40:54
Speaker 1: some cases guys wear what they call a full little
40:58
Speaker 1: metal plate in soul which goes all away from the
41:00
Speaker 1: toe to the heel, which it's like, like I said,
41:03
Speaker 1: it still has some flexibility, but it just stiffens up
41:07
Speaker 1: the whole foot area. So and I'm sure that that
41:10
Speaker 1: would be a combination of that and then taping the
41:12
Speaker 1: toad to support it or whatever. I'm sure that they
41:15
Speaker 1: will try to do. But you gotta be careful of
41:17
Speaker 1: that because if you keep agitating it, then it's gonna
41:19
Speaker 1: be something that can be I don't want to say
41:22
Speaker 1: chronic to where it's an issue then every week, but
41:24
Speaker 1: it could be a problem that lasts. So you want
41:26
Speaker 1: to make sure you get kind of you want to
41:28
Speaker 1: get it behind you. Anything with your feet, you're running
41:31
Speaker 1: around the whole game. You can't have bad feet and
41:34
Speaker 1: run around. No, I know that's a deep thought. Well
41:37
Speaker 1: it's a real deep thought. But no, no, but you're right.
41:39
Speaker 1: I mean, look, there's a lot of things that you
41:43
Speaker 1: would rather hurt as a football player then other than
41:47
Speaker 1: something on your on your foot. Yeah, because seriously, you don't.
41:50
Speaker 1: You can't do anything. Well, and here's the thing. If
41:53
Speaker 1: you want to rest it, what do you do? I
41:57
Speaker 1: mean you have to walk, you have to stand. I
41:59
Speaker 1: mean so, I mean it's kind of hard for like
42:01
Speaker 1: a shoulder. Okay, I'm just gonna not do anything with
42:03
Speaker 1: my shoulder for a day or two. Okay, that's fine.
42:05
Speaker 1: Well guess what with a foot if you're walking, Yeah,
42:08
Speaker 1: you you are putting pressure and stressing that foot, that
42:13
Speaker 1: injured area. So it's yeah that I can tell you that.
42:17
Speaker 1: In and uh, in my in my career, the one
42:19
Speaker 1: of the worst ones that I ever had was it
42:22
Speaker 1: was a two of them. One was a Liz Frank
42:26
Speaker 1: and the other one was planning our fasciitis. And I mean,
42:30
Speaker 1: it's it's like crippling, and it's incredibly hard to be
42:34
Speaker 1: able to play the game when your feet are not
42:36
Speaker 1: feeling good. That's I can tell you that, shoulders and
42:40
Speaker 1: all that other stuff. I can find ways to get
42:42
Speaker 1: to fight through it. But when when your dogs are barking,
42:46
Speaker 1: it's hard. Wow. Let's get to the a f C
42:49
Speaker 1: South results from this past weekend. Of course, the Jaguars
42:54
Speaker 1: were off. The Titans hammered the Chiefs, and I mean
42:58
Speaker 1: dominated the Chiefs. Three was the final. Derrick Henry had
43:01
Speaker 1: a touchdown passed in the game. King they called the
43:05
Speaker 1: King Cat play. Who has more giveaways in the National
43:10
Speaker 1: Football League more than the Jaguars. That would be the Chiefs.
43:13
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. The Cardinals destroyed the Texans thirty one
43:18
Speaker 1: to five, and that's the first time that score has
43:22
Speaker 1: ever been scored in the NFL in any game. Cardinals
43:26
Speaker 1: out gave them three seven to one. Sixty. Texans are
43:29
Speaker 1: a mess and shaming lost to them in Week one.
43:33
Speaker 1: It is Colts over the forty nine thirty to eighteen.
43:36
Speaker 1: Taylor had a big day rushing over a hundred yards
43:38
Speaker 1: a touchdown, Pittman receiving over a hundred and a touchdown. Well,
43:42
Speaker 1: and Carson Wentz is playing better, That's what That's probably
43:45
Speaker 1: the big story there. I mean, Carson Wentz was uh,
43:49
Speaker 1: first of all, gets traded out of Philadelphia after giving
43:52
Speaker 1: a long term contract. Many people thought that this was
43:55
Speaker 1: the next great quarterback in the league. Then he was
43:58
Speaker 1: a legitimate m VP can and a few years ago
44:00
Speaker 1: it was good. And then he got hurt and then
44:04
Speaker 1: uh didn't play in the Super Bowl, and of course
44:06
Speaker 1: Nick Foles wins Super Bowl, and then it was kind
44:08
Speaker 1: of all downhill from that point for Carson Wentz. And
44:12
Speaker 1: so he goes to Indianapolis with Frank Wright to resurrect
44:14
Speaker 1: his career and he gets hurt there and can he
44:19
Speaker 1: play well? He does, and and he actually looked better
44:23
Speaker 1: on Sunday night. I don't want to say looked great,
44:25
Speaker 1: but he looked better. So all right, Kenny, Kenny resurrective
44:29
Speaker 1: carn get back to where he was at. I don't
44:31
Speaker 1: know if he can or not, but he's he's playing
44:33
Speaker 1: better than he did in Philadelphia. Let's take a look
44:36
Speaker 1: down at the SEC South standings after all of that
44:38
Speaker 1: action in week number seven, and of course it's Tennessee's
44:42
Speaker 1: division right now. There five and two, two and oh
44:44
Speaker 1: in the division, indeed three and four. Jacksonville now out
44:47
Speaker 1: of the Cellar logs their third place one in five,
44:51
Speaker 1: a half game better now than Houston at one and six.
44:53
Speaker 1: Well that's just because they but hey, don't don't just
44:57
Speaker 1: just just look, just enjoy It's okay, not that it
45:02
Speaker 1: doesn't matter how now. You just gotta stay there and
45:04
Speaker 1: keep moving up. You hope, you hope, But uh, I'm
45:08
Speaker 1: so sorry to be Debbie Downer. Bob was just pointing
45:12
Speaker 1: that there are six games played by this team and
45:15
Speaker 1: everybody else in the division has played seven. Because there
45:17
Speaker 1: are some people probably going, how in the world can
45:19
Speaker 1: the Jaguars be third in the division when they don't
45:23
Speaker 1: have a division win and the Texans do. Let's they
45:28
Speaker 1: have one extra loss in the Jags. That's that's the
45:30
Speaker 1: reason why. Because you're just throwing dirt on top of
45:33
Speaker 1: the Jags logs. What it sounds like to me. I
45:35
Speaker 1: don't do that to my team. Let's take a look
45:38
Speaker 1: at the realist upcoming schedules in the a f C
45:40
Speaker 1: South the next five weeks or so. Let's see, we
45:44
Speaker 1: got a couple of games against the Rams, Buffaloes in there,
45:48
Speaker 1: a couple of times against teams. The Jaguars are at Seattle,
45:51
Speaker 1: Buffalo at home at Andy Well San Francisco in Atlantic
45:54
Speaker 1: real quick focus on the Jaguars schedule. Okay, Seattle has
45:58
Speaker 1: a quarterback situation that's not good. They're not playing good
46:01
Speaker 1: football on offense. That's a that's a totally winnable game.
46:04
Speaker 1: Buffalo is very good though, and then at their place
46:07
Speaker 1: will be tough. Indianapolis is playing good football. San Francisco
46:10
Speaker 1: there's some question marks in San Francisco now. And the
46:14
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons are. I mean, they got a great tight
46:17
Speaker 1: end by the way, who was amazing, fantastic Kyle Pitts.
46:22
Speaker 1: But overall as a team they're not great. But that
46:25
Speaker 1: tight end is really good. Yes, he is really good one.
46:28
Speaker 1: And he's wearing a number eight mm and he looks
46:32
Speaker 1: like a wide receiver. Well, he guess Kyle Pitts is.
46:36
Speaker 1: He's there's a reason why he's the highest draft to
46:38
Speaker 1: tight end ever. And uh he's fun to watch. I
46:41
Speaker 1: can tell you that will be a great challenge to
46:43
Speaker 1: cover him, and it's interesting to see how people will
46:46
Speaker 1: treat him. How do you how do you cover them?
46:47
Speaker 1: Do you cover them with a linebacker? You can unless
46:50
Speaker 1: you got a linebacker that can run legitimate four four
46:53
Speaker 1: four five, Well, put a couple of guys on him. Okay,
46:55
Speaker 1: so what do you put a defensive back on him?
46:57
Speaker 1: I mean said, that's gonna be a challenge for any
46:59
Speaker 1: team it faces. The Atlanta Falcons, the UH Texans, Uh
47:04
Speaker 1: not a good football team. It doesn't really matter who's
47:06
Speaker 1: on their schedule. They're gonna struggle with anybody. The Colts
47:09
Speaker 1: a good football team and they're gonna have that's a
47:11
Speaker 1: great division matchup coming up this weekend. Tennessee at Indianapolis.
47:15
Speaker 1: That's a very good game. Uh. The Jets, uh not great.
47:21
Speaker 1: And then they got the Jaguars Indianapolis, Buffalo, Tampa Bay.
47:24
Speaker 1: That's a loss right there. And Tennessee has the New
47:28
Speaker 1: England Patriots Houston. Those are two winnable games, young quarterback situations, Saints,
47:33
Speaker 1: Rams and the Colts, so it's'd be pretty good. We'll
47:38
Speaker 1: see what happens. We shall see, but this week is
47:44
Speaker 1: a a winnable game in Seattle. I like that. We'll
47:48
Speaker 1: come back in a moment and see what the head
47:50
Speaker 1: coach thinks about it. Head coach Irman Meyer coming up next,
47:54
Speaker 1: the Rman Meyers Show. Right around the corner of this
47:56
Speaker 1: has been Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Hard Rock
47:59
Speaker 1: Sports book Edgital Network
