Jaguars Happy Hour: Tuesday, November 30

on the schedule. The Jags in the l A. Rams coming up, It's so Fi Stadium, and then the Urban Meyer Show on the Jaguars Radio Network at five o'clock. At five o'clock head coach, Head coach Urban Meyer will join us. Easy for me to say, and we will ask him about his name being rumored to some of these college coaching openings. Yes, we will. We'll see what he says. That's at five o'clock today on the network.

Of course, the Jaguars lost to the Falcons last week to fall to two and nine Falcons one, Jaguars fourteen Jack's got to an early fourteen nothing deficit. It was twenty one three after the opening Falcons drive. At the second half, Jack's called at called clawed back in the game within seven and had the ball of the couple minutes left, but fell short. There were key special teams penalties. They were all side on a punt, leverage on a

field goal, deflating for the defense. They had to come back out on the field immediately a couple of times. Urban Meyer Monday, still working on finding what this offense is going to be a lot of positis. Third downs was really good. I thought, Trevor. Someone asked me how Trevor play with thought he competed his tail off, and I thought, you know, third downs were excellent. We did

a lot of tempo on third downs. We've had at eighteen snaps of you know a little bit more what he's used to doing, going fast and uh, the offense line did nice job in those situations. We got first downs. That was a part of it. Execution is part of it. But really pleased with that. That's why you sustained those laundry. We had a couple of really long drive to like to fourteen play drives. If I remember that's that coach German Meyer Monday, and we welcome to Jaguars analyst Jeff Lagaman. Now,

good afternoon, to your logs. Good afternoon. What do you think of the offense in general last week? That all the you know, the buzzword last week was creativity. How much creativity did you see? Well? I think that the big change was they started to run a little bit more, run, pass options stuff. And do I think that that's highly creative. I think it's different, and I think anything that you can do that's different sometimes to generate a little bit

of rhythm is a good thing. My thought. Overall, in some arrays that you scored fourteen points, yes, that's not good enough. And until you can start to score enough points to be competitive, then it's not good enough. And so you have to just keep working. I mean, there's no other way to do it. But then to find more ways or more creative ways to utilize your personnel, to find better personnel, to discover personnel, to get the current personnel to play better. I mean, that's the only

things you can do. But the one thing that I can tell you, JP is that this football team needs to correct some controllable things in order for them for them to give themselves a chance, plain and simple and offense, defense and special teams. I got a list. Oh boy, we've got two hours. I got a list that we got a list. Okay, yes, and here's things that are controllable. Okay. You had an illegal formation on the interception with Marvin Jones.

And I don't care if the quarterback says that I wasn't sure if it was a free player or not. It certainly impacts your thinking thinking that it maybe it could be. And I thought that Trevor threw it up. Yeah, he said after the game that he did not they were going to throw that anyway. He said he wasn't sure, but then they were going to throw it anyway, and and that's what he said. Regardless, two things happened there

one either. First of all, you got a ten year wide receiver that has lined up in properly covering up a tight end. That's not hard to figure out. I mean that when you look down towards the ball as a wide receiver, you should see that there's a tight end and he's lined up on the line of scrimin So I need to be off that's that's fundamental football. Can't have a mistake there. What happens if you threw a touchdown there, it wouldn't have been a touchdown exactly.

It gets called back and on a very easily controlled play that could have been prevented so that it wouldn't have been a penalty. Okay, that's Uh, Laurent to McCrae, all sides on a on a fourth and three on your punt return when the center raises, that's what they did. Center on the long snapper will raise his head up all the time. They will do things to try to get you all sides when it's less than five yards. That's awareness. And Laurent is a veteran though this is

not a rookie. Yeah, this is not a rookie mistake. There's no excuse for that. Uh. Roy robertson hairs leveraging average, You can't commit a leverage. I mean that's that's again that goes back to fundamental football, and that you know

that that's a penalty. You can't do that. Uh, second and goal when the Jaguars were driving and you have what appeared to be Joan Taylor standing up and looking back towards the quarterback, and at first people thought he was the only one that was not moving, and then allows the russure and Trevor has to throw it incomplete to o goomball On And what Ogombally was doing on the field at that time, I mean, you can argue that a little bit because James Robinson certainly deserved to

be on the field when you get to that critical juncture of the field. But that's not on Juwan. That's on the offense as a whole, because and I think, but I'm not positive, but it appeared that they were

going on first sound. Okay, first sound is a quarterback gets up and he's looking around and he says ready, and as soon as he says that the ball snapped, well he's trying to what appears to be changed the play and so he's like, EASSy, So you you kind of do something without saying something sudden because you don't want the ball to be snapped. Lender snapped it and everybody kind of was delayed starting because they all heard or saw Trevor, but Leonard didn't. So is that Leonard's fault?

Is that Trevor's fault? I mean, that's an organizational thing that should be corrected, okay, and then should not happen at this day age of the goods on your list. Uh, you got the play towards the end of the half to where all you need is about five yards to get an opportunity at a at a you know, fifty fifty two yard field goal, and Ben Barts gets beat in a quick fashion by um Grady Jarrett, who's a

really good football player. And but the routes the quarterback doesn't have any options because all the routes are fifteen yards or more with the exception of a dump off and a crossing tight end. But the crossing tight end doesn't even get his head back around until late. I mean, you gotta have a better play call than that, because I mean, in that situation, you're trying to get five or six yards and maybe have a quick catch and then a short game lineup and kick a field goal.

You don't need fifteen or twenty yards, just run something. You have ten seconds left on the clock before the half. Kind of a questionable play call there. And then, uh, by the way, well, I mean, but I've been saying that these are all controllable things, right, Okay, that's that's five things that I've listed so far. You could go back and say, cam on the fall start early in the ball game, that would actually be six. Okay, first and goal at the six. John Taylor gets a hold. Okay.

The very next play he gives up a pressure on the on the hold. Pull your arm out of there and belly flop him. Okay, and then you don't get the penalty clack call. Seriously, pull your arm out, had the arm across the chest. Okay. All you have to do is literally is do that and belly flop him and that you're holding your arms straight out to the side exactly. That's that. That's Grady Jared again, by the way, who again I said it is a good football player.

Nevin Lawson has a hold on a third and two, puts his arms around the waist of a guy and it wasted what was a really I mean a really good pass rush by Tavian Bryant that would have got the Jaguars off the field sooner, given them more time

to be able to have a drive. And then at the very end of the game, you had a miscommunication very apparent between were back in wide receiver Leabisco Chennault Jr. On the fourth and ten that Labisco's running a fifteen yard route and the ball was thrown for a ten yard stick route. I mean, these are things that you got you gotta clean up. If you're gonna give yourself a chance to win, you have to clean up these things.

Let's hear from the quarterback Trevor Lawrence about the offense the efficiency that he actually felt at times, especially later in the game. Yeah, I thought we had some good wrinkles today. Obviously, nothing's all we wanted want to come out with a win, but I think offensively we were a lot more efficient. Number one thing is finishing drives. We gotta we gotta score more touchdowns. Um So I said, that's that's the main thing. But I did think we took a step as far as um productivity today. I

thought we did a better job. Yeah, you know, and it's that's what it is. I mean, the the high water mark for points this year's twenty three, and it took a couple of fifty yard long ones in London to get to twenty three points in that game. So it has been a difficult stretch here for the offense

to try to get much going consistently. But you know, in a game where they were down three, they found a way to go nine plays on a touchdown drive the table on Austin touchdown and by the way, that drive right there, JP had three plays in a row that were I think fantastic. You had, you know, I think it was like a twenty one yard or to a Shaughnessy that was a really nice row by Trevor. The touchdown throw to Tavan Austin was a very nice throw,

and then the two point conversion to James O'Shaughnessy. I mean, you talk about three throws that were, I mean really good. I mean I'm not saying that they're elite throws, because I wouldn't consider those elite throws, but those are the kind of throws that you need to make on a consistent basis at this level if you're gonna have success as a quarterback. And I thought that was really encouraging seeing those throws. And I was like, Okay, here we go. Okay,

you built some confidence and you got some rhythm. You feel good about where you're at. The Atlanta Falcons are not exactly a good football team, so here you here we go, right this is gonna be this is a comeback, we can come back opportunity. There we go. They got in the end zone, went for two to make it a ten point game and got that and the next drive they had Robinson had a twenty six yard reception on that drive. They go fourteen plays and about six and a half minutes and get a field goal out

and that should have been a touchdown. That that goes back to the first and goal at the six where Joan Taylor has the hold on Grady Jarrett and then the very next play he gives up a pressure. You know, so you go first and goal at the six, you back it up to first and goal at the sixteen, and then all of a sudden, then you get a

pressure after that after that that forces an incompletion. I mean, that's that's, you know, putting yourselves behind in the chains, and you just can't do that when you're an offense that's struggling to find some consistency. You gotta give yourself the best chance, and penalties don't do that. And then of course on a final possession turnover run downs could

not get it done. They had a couple of minutes left and had a chance with the ball in their hand to drive down the field and couldn't get that done. Down by seven in the final um final by the way, just real quick. Let me let me just say this though, because you know we're talking about you know, you get the ball back. You got the ball back because the defense eventually rose up and made some play, which I give this team credit because the defense has been able

to do that in a couple of games here recently. Okay, maybe hasn't started out great, Okay, the Colts game. Uh, just like this game hasn't started out great. Okay, you got Jonathan Taylor starting out and rolling downhill against them in Indianapolis, and then you get cour Darryl Patterson rolling downhill against him here in this game. But the defense fought back and uh and what an amazing performance by the young Tyson Campbell and he was a big reason why they got the ball back there at the end

of the game with an opportunity at tying it up. Yeah, we will will dig into the defensive performance coming up in just a little bit. It was key, obviously, as you mentioned though twenty one three and then they had three and out six played driving a punt against him and then eight played driving a punt was forced three straight punts to give the offense an opportunity. Final offensive thought here though, James Robinson. We touched on it briefly a moment ago. There were some key moments in the

game where he was not on the field. And you know Urban has said this week, you know hey's still a little bit, but he's not. You know, he's fighting through it, which is fine. He did in the game, which is fine. Look at look at JP. I know where you're going with this, because you know, if he fumbles in a game, he's not He's not on the field offensively for about a six team play stretch ballpark and uh look, it was the first career fumble for

James Robinson. If he was not on the field because he was being punished, I don't think that's the reason why. But if that was the case, that would be ridiculous. It was his first career fumble. But I but I'm all for James Robinson is not healthy and we need to make sure that we spell him and that we also rotate in Carlos Hide. I'm all for that. But I think that there's a time and a place for when that rotation happens, and it's got to be it's

got to be managed well. And when I say it's got to be managed well, when this team gets to be first and goal at the six, or you're down a score and you're in the in the red zone, you've got to find a way to make sure that James Robinson is on the field. If you're at the twenty and just starting now to drive, Okay, at your own twenty and you're just starting now to drive, I can understand that Carlos Hide is in the ball game.

Told okay, but there are key moments and a key points in a ball game to where you need to have your best running back on the field. And it's not even close. Even if he's not, James Robinson is still the best running back on this football team. Proves it with the numbers we weekend and week out. I mean, uh, five point one yards to carry last week. That that catch that he made man one handed catch, makes a

defender miss. He's not a hundred percent, but he still gets up the field and he goes up the sideline. I mean, he's first of all, he and I know they don't give out medals in football, and everybody plays hurt and everybody's tough, but James Robinson is tough man.

He's tough, tough as nails, and he's a he's a scrapper, he's a fighter and uh and I got a lot of appreciation for him because I know how hard it is to play hurt and and James Robinson is doing exactly that and he's showing up on game day first teammates plutting ahead on Jaguar's Happy Hour. We will flip in the defense logs when we come back, including Tyson Campbell who had a very good games. Well break that down and maybe some of the reasons behind his improvement

of the season. That's going along. P r I Productions, the official event production company of the Jags, has everything you need to bring your next idea to life.

Welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy Hour. J P. Shadrick, Jeff Logaman, Joe Fortunado, Brent Ree. We're glad you're along with us. We'll have the Urban Meyers

Show coming up at five o'clock today. We'll hear from the Jaguars head coach, you'll have we'll try to get his thoughts on all these college coaching rumors, the carousela spinning logs. Well, when you're head coach and that what was it, the hundred ninety nine and thirty six record as a collegiate head coach, ober Meyer was, I believe with three national championships. Uh yeah, it would make sense

that his name would be bandied upy out. If an Oklahoma or a USC or Notre Dame didn't consider trying to contact a guy like Urban Meyer, they're crazy. So I mean I get it. I mean I get why his name gets thrown out there because he has been one of the best head coaches in college football history. Simple yes, the third best winning percentage of all time. And when when a coach is struggling at the end of the NFL ranks, I mean, it's just natural that his name is going to be thrown out there. And

it's just that part of the deal. So we'll hear from Urban coming up at five o'clock on the Urban Meyers Show to the Jaguars defense last week. You know, they had done a pretty good job this year of plugging up the run game, but the Falcons they didn't do a lot well offensively, but that's the one thing they did well was run the football. Against the Jaguars, Cordarol Patterson lined up in the backfield a lot and

it looked like a natural back there. Actually, I think at one point after the and I wrote this down after the first four or maybe even three Falcons drives, he had eight carries f eighty four yards and two touchdowns and uh was actually actually after their fourth drive. I mean, he was impressive. I mean, he's a good football player, and it took everybody a while to kind of figure out exactly where his fit was gonna be in the National Football League because he was obviously drafted

as a wide receiver and that didn't work out. And then Bill Belichick was the one who I think really discovered what his role should be, right, I Mean, wasn't it Belichick that said, Hey, look, we're gonna not gonna throw to throw it to a guy that has a hard time catching it. Why don't we just give it to him, you know, or or make short little throws to where he can make easier catches and then he can do what he does best, which is make people miss and yak or or what I call yaw yards

after handoff. That's a new term, yacking yaw yards after handoff, which is just I totally get it, thank you, that is the same thing. It is. But he's a good player. And the Jaguars didn't. They look they weren't very good at the beginning of the ball game. And I know that, you know, coaches will sometimes come out and say, you know, well,

we did a really good job in the second half. Well, the dynamics of the game changed a little bit in the second half because the Falcons felt very content to continue to try to run the ball against a fortified run defense that the Jaguars were now stack in the box because the Falcons didn't feel like the Jaguars could score enough points to threaten. So it's a little different offensive approach by the Falcons in the second half, you know.

And it was just like it was a little bit of a different approach by Seattle in the second half. And but I give the the defense credit. They they fought back even though that's the terms of the game. Uh, they were able to do that. And I thought a couple of guys really stood out performance wise. I thought Tavin Brian played exceptionally well. Exceptionally well. I thought he played really well. So just he's did a really good job of getting off the blocks, being physical, some real

good finishing hits on guys. The the penalty that it was called on Nevin laws and Tavin Bryant had a great rush defensive holding and talking about well he got a defensive holding car I think it was against him the exactly. Tavin Brian had a great pass rush on that.

He was the reason why that that was gonna be incomplete and they were gonna get off the field, but it was negated because of the hold on Lawson, which was a penalty that shouldn't He shouldn't have did what he did, grabbed him by the hips right when I went around the waist as he's trying to run away. I mean, kind of can't do that. Uh. And then of course Tyson Campbell the play that he made the

interception on. And we're actually gonna draw this up for Jaguars All Access Thursday night, Fox thirty, Me and Brent Martine since uh seven o'clock awesome, Ashlyn Sullivan, don't miss it. Check it out. JP. We're gonna take the interception to the football app and draw it up. And the reason why I was the reason why it was really cool

play for for a young player to make. Cover two has what we call soft spots, and a soft spot sits between a safety in a corner, you know, because the safety has to cover it the deep part of the field and then the corner has to be able to play short his short route. But he also you know, because the safety could get stressed and he's covering a big area. Sometimes that outside intermediate area is what we call the soft spot. And Tyson did a really good

job of jam and a wide receiver. And then because he jammed the wide receiver, he can get his eyes back to the quarterback Matt Ryan. He sees Matt Ryan loading up to throw it to um the talented rookie tight and pits who is running the little route into that soft spot and he breaks on it. And first of all, Tyson Campbell is legit fast now, I mean he's legit fast, and how he breaks on that ball and the ground that he covers tremendous. A great interception

by him. But he also had a couple other past defense and he had two plays on consecutive plays like a second and ten, he ends up having a past defense and then on third down he makes that play where he's a deep third safety. He covers his guys thrown underneath and he comes up like a missile and absolutely nice. The legs out of the wide receiver underneath, makes a nice play. So, I mean, he had a

fantastic game. Credit to him. And then you know, earlier in the season there were moments where he loses the ball in the air, there's catches made on him, and it's like, you know, what's gonna happen with with him? Can he get can he get better with this? Like what's the situation? And then he got dinged up a little bit blogs like and then now he's come back off the injury playing the ball a little better. I mean, that's improvement as the season goes along. And he's not

he's not. I mean, he's got a shoulder, that's right, So I mean he's still playing with injury. You know, he had the injury earlier on which was what was it a an ankle or something of that nature. Was it was a lower body injury and I don't remember exactly what it was. But then he fought, fell on his shoulder and uh, and then he fights back. You know, he's playing with that, So I give him credit. He's he's a tough guy and uh, and he's a student. He learns and that's what I love about him. I

mean I called him earlier the shadow. And I think also what's helped him a little bit is that this defense has transitioned a little bit and that it went from a defense that was trying to play a ton of man to were now they're playing a little bit of a little bit more of zone. And I think that's helped him a little bit too, because he now can keep his eyes back towards the quarterback a little bit.

And uh. And he's got a great skill set. He's got great clothing speed and like I said, he's legit fast and that makes all the difference in the world. And just talking to him after the game, we had him on post game on radio on Sunday. Obviously has a fantastic mindset for the game. Grew up around the game. Um played for that fantastic program down an American heritage

under the Curtans. You know, there was certain the second who's now in the league also who by the way, I think he had like two picks this weekend, right, yes, good day at so they were all together like that's where he kind of came up and made his bones. And so he totally understands the mindset at what it takes to power through and play through and play more of them coming up, we can we can get another one of those guys. I want to go down on

any five and check it out. I guarantee you that Joe Colin would be in a car in a minute if I could go scout a guy right now, I think so. Um, So there you have it. Let's come back. Hey, we're gonna look ahead logs to the Los Angeles Rams, the super team. We got a chance to see them Sunday afternoon or was it Sunday night that they played? Uh, it was the Sunday night game or the Sunday afternoon game they played the Green Bay Packers. Who got to

watch him? That was awesome. Yeah. Uh, And I can tell you I would not want to be an offensive guard this week because Aaron Donald looks like that he can go for a chokehold. Uh in a matter of seconds. We will delve into all that when we return. Of course, check out the Official Jags Podcast Network. It's free on Apple, iTunes, Spotify or wherever you download your pods. And this is

Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network. The Jaguars Happy Hours brought to you by t I A, a bank turned potential into progress, and by public where shopping is a pleasure. Welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on a Tuesday afternoon. J P. Shadrick, Jeff Flagerman and the Jaguars Game Day Radio Broadcaster, brought to you by Vistar Credit Union do good bank better? Well, the Jaguars will have a game day at so FI Stadium in Los Angeles,

is coming Sunday. It's a four oh five Eastern time kickoff. We'll go on the air at one o'clock with the public's tailgate show ahead of that game. And week Thirteam four or five kick It was flexed and changed, actually was going to be four. They changed the time and they changed the network. It's on Fox this week again. All right. So the Rams, after they built the super team, they got in von Miller and they brought in Odell Beckham. Well,

they haven't won a game since then. There they've lost three in a row in Los Angeles, kind of surprising, and a lot of it has to do with turnovers on offense, um, Matthew Stafford. Looking at their giveaways for the season, fourteen of those, but Stafford over the last three weeks has five interceptions off of him. Well, it's been a big part of it. But you know, look Seawan mcveigh's offense. If you look at the one key number that I would focus in on, right there is

rushing offense and that's yards per game. And that's I think is you know, the Sean McVeigh offenses in the past that have been really good, think of Todd Gurley play action and Jared Golf being really good with that play action throwing the ball down the field, and they haven't had that. So it's put more pressure on Matt Stafford. And Matt Stafford has been really good now, uh in its entirety. I mean, there's been a lot of pressure on him. But his Green Bay game was I thought,

pretty good. But he doesn't look completely healthy. But you know, there's a lot of pressure on him. He is essentially a lot of pressure on being the offense. He's fourth and rating, he's fourth in yards per attempt. His completion percentage is sixteenth, but his attempts or seventh in the league. That means he's throwing the ball a ton and that's

a lot to ask of a quarterback. And and they had how many injuries did they have at the running back position before they even got started with the season. They've had some things go on over there in the health world. But yeah, the running back has been a big health concern for them right at the onset of the season. And Odell Beckham Jr. Has been a non factor.

Got a touchdown last week, Yeah, but it was I mean overall, I mean he had a touchdown, right, and then he got he got dinged and and all of a sudden, he's got this back thing going on against Green Bay and he's got a heat pad on it, and you can see he's trying to wear the heat pad, and then after the heat pad hunt and then he's taking it off to run out and be the third wide receiver on the field. And look, it takes time, as we're seeing here in Jacksonville. It takes time for

quarterbacks and wide receivers to develop some chemistry. And just because Odell Beckham has been great in the past. I mean, the reality is he's been great in the past and wins. The last time he was great, yeah, I mean his last thousand of our season was twenty nineteen. It's it's a little while ago, gotta get back, and he's coming back from an A C. L reconstruction, So it's a it's a it's a working progress. And they lost what

was the wide receiver that they had, Robert Woods. Robert Woods who really good wide receiver, but the main guy is Cooper cup who, by the way, is first in reception, first and yards tied for first and touchdown everything. Yeah, you're like fifteen times a game, Like it's it's crazy because he's the field either it's kind of short and he makes plays and there he goes. Yeah, he's a he's a good football player from the football powerhouse of

Eastern Washington. The crazy thing is that when he rolled in as a rookie, he was good. I mean he was good right out of the out of the out of the gate. So he is a guy that you definitely have to contend with, and he is the main focal point of their passing attack. And hopefully the Jaguars can find a way to negate some of his some of his great plays that he makes. That would be uh an easy ideal, No, that would be ideal, though it's gonna be a tough one though, with all those

other guys around him. It's a weird organization to JP. Okay, when I when I say weird, I mean they've they essentially have trade it away. Oh, they don't have many draft picks left. I mean, let's needs like, I don't need these picks, all high draft picks. They literally they don't put a lot of value on them. And this team has been the beneficiary of one of the trade with Galen Ramsey, and things haven't exactly worked out great in that department yet for this team. Hopefully it will.

But right now I will say that the Rams have gotten a better into that deal. But then again, they've had to pay Jalen Rams a ton of money. Well think about this, right, so they had to build a brand new stadium five billion dollars, right so five stadium, five billion, five billion dollars right um in l A that marketplace. Just hearing people talk about it who have been out there, have covered the league there and other sports there. You better have some flash and pizzazz about you.

That's that kind of town. You better have some superstar power on your team. You will be lost in the shop. You will get a tenants, right, So they're trying to do that. And oh, by the way, I don't think they'd love anything more than to host a super Bowl at their own place while they're playing in it, like the Bucks did last Well, yeah, well this is why that's where the super Bowl is gonna be at his so Fi Stadium this come and winter. So have all

that together, get the biggest superstar base. You can put it all into this year next and then Okay, that's where they are right now. Yeah, there's there's a lot of things going on with the l A franchise and and they all just don't pertain to what's happening on the field, that's right, because she just had this settlement settlement with that happened with the St. Louis the city of St. Louis, and and there people because of the relocation of the Rams and stand cronky and and uh liability,

et cetera. And I think the award was seven ninety million dollars. And so now the question is to stand cronky the Rams owner. Does he flit the entire bill. There was a report by The New York Times today that he would or would all the other owners have to share in that. Yeah, I was I was JP

on Sunday. I was just sitting there before the game, and you know, you watch the warm ups and such and and on the field you see Author Blank and Shot Cohn talking and I think they sit together on the finance committee or one of the committee, and I was going, I'll bet you they might be talking about this seven hundred ninety million dollar It's gonna come up in conversation. I mean, I mean you think they already

number one? Hey, Author, Yeah, you know we're not gonna I mean, we're not gonna pay any of this money. This has got to be all on stand. I mean, he was the one that decided to take the team and move it to l A. So you know that's one of those that's Um, it sounds like it's starting to wind down. That's a good thing for the conversation is out of my ballpark. I can tell you too well. We can talk defense, and this is a defense to talk about. And you start with Aaron Donald up front.

They are stout on the defensive line, They've got outside linebackers who can rest the pasture, rush the passer. They take the ball away a little bit, twelve interceptions for the year. They've got back end safeties are really good. Jalen Ramsey's there. You'll hear him before you see him, and then when you see him. He is a first team All Pro caliber player was last season and having a pretty good year again this year. Are they really that good though? I mean, I mean, look at the

numbers they give up points. I mean they they're giving up points, which is the most important number, twenty one. And with you, when you would have what many would view as a star studied cast with Aaron Donald and Von Miller and Jalen Ramsey, you would think top five, right, I mean top five come to mind. It should be with all those guys, right, and they're not there? Um,

could they be there? Maybe? Could they find some chemistry and gel here down the stretch maybe, But right now it's not like they're unbeatable and here here's their kryptonite. I think that the entire for the entire team physical nous. If you go in l A and you play good old fashion smash mouth football, you can beat this team. I mean seriously, I mean, you can beat this team if you get physical and play smash mouth. It might be that that's San Francisco to a t. That's why

they always kind of play them pretty well. San Francisco did it. Uh, the Green Bay Packers a little bit more on the arm of Aaron Rodgers, but they were physical. They were physical. I mean, look, Aaron Donald starts choking people. He's mad, he's getting mad, so go in there be physical. Shocked the world. He did it against the Bills, beat them nine to six. Are you gonna be able to hold the Rams too to nine points? I don't know about that, but you know, look, you can beat teams

when you out physical teams. And that's got to be the mindset of this football team when they go to l A. Aaron Donald is a multiple NFL Defensive Player of the Year. When that's a whole segment of conversation worth. I mean, really, it really is. I mean, the guys won it three times seventeen, eighteen, and twenties. Six time first team All Pro. I mean, he's I mean already building a case for Canton still relatively early in his

career and it starts here. You have to get a bunch of different guys around him, planning for him all day long, and he can move around. He has the flexibility to do that well. He's a three technique for the most part, and he can play on either side, and he can also line up and play defensive end. But that's not where his strength is. He is literally it's he's like a Tasmanian devil, you know though the old Loony tunes. Yes, exactly, it's exactly what he is like.

And he gets going and he's just unstoppable. He he's only six one ish two eight pounds, but he's i mean, absolutely sculpted, two d eighty pounds, super strong. He's got speed, quickness, power, everything you can ask. He's a smart player. He sets things up, he bates players. He is by far the most disruptive defender in the National Football League, number one.

I don't think anybody else is in his category. You know, back in the day, you had a Reggie White and a Bruce Smith, and they're kind of the conversation who was more disruptive. There's no I don't think there's any conversation that this guy is number one on the list. I mean even J. J. Watt would what was in his prime? Well, I would say it was Myles Garrett would probably be the only one that would be and

then that that would probably be a good argument. But Myles Garrett and air Not right now are the two most disruptive defenders in the National Football League. And when you watch how team teams essentially prepare or what they do to face Aaron Donald, they slide the protection over there, and everybody that maybe have that has an extra second or an extra arm, it's always leaning towards Aaron Donald. It's that good. And with von Miller there, I'm gonna

tell you, honestly, what I'm seeing. I'm not seeing the Von Miller of old well moment even that right, you got him on one side, Leonard Floyd's on the other side, and outside land Backer. You don't want to be in third and eight against these guys with those two out there, no matter the level where they may or may not be right well, and they can't. A lot of people say, well, you can put them on the same side and boy

they become really a force. Then well it's actually you want them on opposite sides because then you're most teams will say, if we got Aaron Donald on one side and Von Miller on the other, we're gonna slide the protection to Aaron Donald, put the center over there to help out, and then you could always maybe have a back chip on Von Miller if need be. But again, like I said, von Miller is not the Von Miller

of old. I mean, he's still a very good player, and at times he he can be dominant, but he's not Aaron Donald where every play he is dominant. Because that's what Aaron Aaron Donald is right now. And this past game, Grady Jarrett gave fits to the Jaguars defense. Fits he had. Uh he beat Cam Robinson one time on an inside play that was the result of the cause fumble on James Robinson on a little combo block

with with Norwell. Norwell had to come off to go to the linebacker and Grady Jarrett or what that one. Grady Jett was one of the other defensive tackles that was. But Grady Jarrett gave up gave fits to BArch in the ball game on the uh the hail Mary pass that was Grady Jarrett. He makes Barts miss gets in the backfield and Trevor is running first life can't even

throw the ball down the field. So if you're the Rams, after what you saw the Falcons do with Grady Jarrett on Ben Bart, when you have the opportunity to choose which side Aaron Donald goes, my guesses he will go over to ben Barge. All right, strap up, So ben Bart is gonna have he's got a great test this week, and then he'll have help, I'm sure he will. Linda will be going his way and if Aaron Donald is over there, and that's how that's life of Aaron Donald.

Aaron Donald. I would love to know how many single blocks Aaron Donald has gotten this year. Guarantee it ain't then yeah, probably on one hand, you can count those. We'll come back. We'll look at the a FC South standings. Probably know how that's going though already. If you're looking for the m v P of the truck game, then look no further than foward f one fifty. Loaded with impressive capability and designed to dominate, work, play and everything

in between. This truck makes tough look easy, no wonder. It is the official truck of the NFL and proud partner of your Jacksonville Jaguars coming up at five o'clock the Urban Meyers Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. Will ask Urban about his name being rumored to some of these college coaching openings that's coming up in just a few minutes. And this is Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network. Welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on

a Tuesday afternoon. We're a little over eight minutes away from the Urban Meyers Show on the Jaguars Radio Network, and here on Tintin Excel, we'll hear from you guessed it head coach Urban Meyer. He'll join us as he always does, and we'll get his thoughts. We'll ask him about those college coaching openings in his name all over Twitter rumors and they still message boards. I bet you they're on there too. That was that was a thing like in the early two thousand. You're asking me, Yeah,

I don't know. Yeah, maybe you're the wrong person to ask. But his name may be bandied about and thrown around by a lot of folks. Will see what he has to say about, uh, those rumors. But um, you know, here we are two and nine. The Jaguars this week headed to Los Angeles, veterans. Choose v A for the benefits you've earned. Visit choose dot v A dot CoV. Let's take a look at the Baptist Tells injury Report Baptist Health Changing Healthcare for Good and J two Felli

is on the injured reserve list designated for return. That was as of last week, so the clock is well underway for him. Dan Arnold placed on injured reserve today and he joined Jamal Agnew a j Can d J. Chark and who actually charked today, had a Instagram video in the the treadmill tub that's in the training room and there's that's good sign. Well, he was in a walking boot on game day, progress injured reserve with dan Arnold.

That hurts, Yes, it does. Uh. You know, when you look at a catch percentage, every quarterback needs to have somebody that's reliable, that's an easy target, what we call like a security blanket. And more times than not, that position is either a running back or it's a tight end. And for Trevor Lawrence, dan Arnold has been the second highest catch percentage target that that Trevor has had. Number

one is James Robinson. Running Backs are mostly right at the top because it's an easy completion and maybe like a dump off for the quarterback or whatever. But losing Dan Arnold, that's a that's one of you got one of your guys, you know that high catch percentage guys that you lose and that makes it more difficult. Now does it help? Having James O'Shaughnessy back, It helps, But James O. Shaughnessy is not Dan Arnold. Arnold stepped in and right away and became the guy that he leaned on,

obviously on offense. So he's done, which is unfortunate and not done for the year officially. But the timetable is like you know, four to six weeks. It depends on mean typically like on a on a mild m c L tear one to two, on a like a medium grade two to four and then for you know, pretty severe when it can be four to six. You know. So I mean he has a chance coming back, yeah, you know, But then again, you know, towards the end of the season, what's the record you want to fight

back and do it? You know that that all can come into play. Well, I mean, you're for you're a football player and you get paid to play, so I mean, I don't think a lot of people would say, well does that come into it? If if there's a risk of a further injury or that he's not a hundred percent healthy, then the answer would be, you don't play him if you're a d percent. If you're a hundred percent and you're ready to go, then then then you go.

It's just part of part of the game. Now if he's you know, if he's and you're not going to you're not going to the playoffs, And you say, okay, well, you know we're not going to the playoffs, So should we risk it when he's not a hundred percent? No, But if he's a dred percent before the end of the year, then he should play. AFC South standings through Week twelve, the entire division lost On Sunday, uh So Tennessee now eighting four, Indie six and six cannot gain ground.

They blew the game against Tampa Houston to a nine and the Jaguars to a nine. At the bottom, the Colts had a chance to gain some ground, but Leonard Fournette got him and scored four total touchdowns in that game. For tender who had him in fantasy, I don't know, man, I don't know. It wasn't me. It was me. A

great job. Way to go Tennessee. Three. If JP, if you had Leonard Fournette, you would be saying Leonard four nett st Well, I would I would move forward to Sunday when we do that segment again, That's what I would do. Yeah, would be bragging about it already with I'm not showing off my hand to anybody. No, no, I'm right here close to the vest. I don't. I don't brag or gloat or anything like that. I certainly don't. JP doesn't brag or gloat or any No, not a

none of the above. It just it got really deep in here. It did not from like a sixties deep perspective. Oh not, We're not. Yeah, anyway, Irban Meyer show is coming up. That's it. About four minutes from now, looking forward to hearing from the coach. I mean this is you know, they've lost three in a row now, and the offense still can't get in the end zone too much. The defense had some early struggles last week, and but then gave him an opportunity late to at least try

to claw back in the game. Too little, too late, and now, with six games to go and a tough couple of road trips coming up l A this week, Tennessee next, they're up against it here. Well, you gotta worry about this game in this game first, and you worry about the last game and trying to correct the mistakes that you had in that last game and move forward. I don't you know, Look, the reality is there's not

gonna be a whole lot of different answers. I mean, you just you keep going to work, and you also try to to improve in every area that you can. And right now, there's there's not there's not time to institute major your change. There's just not. It's just your in season and you try to to grind it out and get better and be a little bit more creative and try to catch a team a little bit off balance here and there to where maybe you can start

to find a little bit of a rhythm offensively. But I do know this the this season, at the very beginning, it was about Trevor Lawrence and it still remains about Trevor Lawrence and Trevor Lawrence getting better. There's so many good things that I see from him. But the reality is that you want to start to see the progression and performance here at the end of the season. And this game this weekend will be the first one in December. And we always talk about you want team to play

their best football in December. Okay, well it's December. Here we go. This team needs to play better, play better. It's a tough task this week. It's an l A Rams team that's lost three in a row and they need to stay in the playoff chase in the NFC. They have this superstar team and this massive stadium and all this pressure at hype and everything that goes with it, and they've lost three in a row. And you know they're gonna be up for it. Oh yeah, they'll be ready,

let me make no mistake about it. They think that that's that's where you think you've got a little bit of an advantage. The the Rams are are angry, they think that they're They probably think that they're gonna be able to handle this Jaguars football team no problem, just like probably how the Bills came down to Jacksonville thinking, oh, yeah, this is a this is a win. Well it wasn't a win. Jaguars traveling, Oh they gotta come all the way across the country to playoffs. You know we can

handle this football team. Okay, well it's time to hit him in the mouth, play a little smash mouth. Carlos Hide, James Robinson, more of James Robinson, by the way, especially at critical moments, I should have said James Robinson first. I don't want to. I don't want to change in the depth chart, James Robinson first, and then Carlos Hide, and then more James Robinson. Is it strange that I'm kind of looking forward to what jay and has to say tomorrow? Or is that just crazy of me? I

think it's crazy. And you, Yeah, if if you actually think that whatever Jalen has to say is of any kind of importance, yeah, I think that's pretty crazy. Jalen can be out in space sometimes with some of the things that he says, and sometimes he can be very thoughtful and uh and reflective and intelligent and and sometimes what he says is right on the money. But most times when it comes to this team, I'm not gonna listen to him. Let's just hope his backs feeling fine.

This week, the Urban Meyer Show is coming up. We're here from the Jaguars head coach that'll do it for Jaguars Happy Hour On this Tuesday afternoon, the Jaguars Digital Network
