Jaguars Happy Hour: Tuesday, November 9

over the Bills nine to six. Defensive gem for the Jags this past Sunday, and then we'll look ahead of week ten. They'll need another one against the Indianapolis Colts, so you can run the daylights out of it up in Lucas Oil Stadium. That's in week ten. Head Joe gurban Meyer joins us on the urban Meyer Show. That's at five o'clock on the Jaguars Radio at work. Now, of course, the Jaguars get the win nine to six

over the Bills. Defense dominated the day, dominated the top scoring offense in football, held them to just over three hundred yards of offense this past week took the ball away from them three times with a couple of interceptions and a fumble recovery. The offense struggled in that game against the Buffalo Bills, though they dropped some opportunities. One of those in the end zone Luke Farrell had another one just did enough to get into field goal range

three different actually four different times. They missed a field goal in a sequence. We'll talk about that later, but they made three field goals. They did just enough to get the win. The defense was key. Urban Meyer Monday though, met the media and yes, he loves the locker room. And that's a team that I made a comment in the Prescott fight for this locker room against anybody anywhere. I mean, these are good guys that are fighting for each other. You know, you saw it might be fun

to watch. But Dan Arnold made that great catch on the sideline and it's smooth. Josh Allen uh and a handful grabbing him and picking them up, and and that was I love being around these guys. Jeff Lockerman Joys us now Jaguars analysts. Yeah, I loves that locker room. It's a good group. Saw some video after the game of you know, guys coming in off the field, picking up urban in fact, in the hallway right outside the locker room, and everybody's excited after a winning result. That's

what winning does, right. Uh. You love the locker room when you win, you hate it when you lose. And that's just kind of how it goes. But I thought that was a fantastic win. It was a game that nobody gave him a chance, including me, and it was a game that there was major concern that this team could get run out by halftime. I mean, that's that's

how many people thought it would go. And for them to play and outperform the NFL's top defense the way that they did to hold a Buffalo Bills all fence to season lows essentially in every important category, which is points, yards and also the opposing quarterback rating, which has been an area of concern, major concern for the Jaguars. That was outstanding, especially with the week prior. G you know, Smith starts fourteen out of fourteen and had his highest

career completion percentage. That stood back there all day. They didn't let Josh Allen stand back there all day. They have dialed up some pressure on him. I think I think the result of Seattle, I think motivated this football team. I mean, how could it not when when Myles Jack is up the podium in Seattle and says that this was embarrassing, humiliating, whatever term was that he used, I mean,

that was that was from the heart. And so when you have something like that happened, I think you take a good, good, hard look at what you're doing and make sure that you can kind of clean it up. But yeah, I thought it was great. I mean, it's uh. And the best thing was that you know, when the game is starting, you know, they were getting ready to start, You're looking around in the stadium and all of a

sudden you're seeing the bright blue and red. I mean there was a lot of Buffalo Bills fans and it's typical. I mean, Bills fans will travel and and credit to them. The Bills mafia is awesome. And they were in the stadium early because they don't know anything else to do, right, So the Jaguar fans a little bit later, more casual getting their seat. But when it came down to the importance, I mean, the Jaguar fans were so much louder than

the Bills fans, and it was it was special. I mean, it's it's been a long time since that stadium rock like that now and and it was good to see and it was good to feel. Now, I'm gonna be careful with this statement, but I know it's one game, right, one defensive performance over reaction Tuesday. But it was a shade of seventeen. They did that old season in seventeen, pressures, takeaways, you know, had an attitude about them. This felt like a little bit of that They've got to go prove

it again down the line. It's a step in the right direction. That's the hard part. Is it, Okay, you did it once and now you prove that you can do it. Now you need to do it again. And

that's that's not easy to do. Two takeaways on the season that we're both interceptions, and then all of a sudden you end up a game against the number one scoring offensive league and you get three takeaways and you get your season's first force fumble, which I don't think it was like an intentional Smooth didn't tackle Josh Allen and try to rip the ball out. Just the contact itself knocked it out. And that's what it takes sometimes you really had another one too, but it was it

got got over by the Buffalo Bills. But I mean, it was a strong performance. And there are so many players that played well across the board. And you know, Josh Allen's kind of leading the way and gets a lot of the talk, but there's many other guys. I mean, heck, Davin Bryant who has been widely criticized and and uh hadn't had a very productive career, yet all of a sudden he has a two sack game and uh uh the one sack that he had was a great ass rush and does a nice swim move on the guard.

The other one probably not so good because he didn't go where he was supposed to go, but it worked out good and and he got the sack. And so uh, I mean when when And I thought the the the defensive line group as a whole played really well, and I kind of expected them to play well. I thought that the quarterback play might be able to cover up for it a little bit because Josh Allen has has

got the mobility factor. But the Buffalo Bills offensive line was a little bit and and kind of flux because they were missing two starters, and uh, they ended up kind of mixing and matching some guys at some positions, and they didn't play very well up front. And uh, you can say either that or you can say that the Jaguars played better up front. I'll say both happened. That the Bills weren't a great offensive line, but some of the Jaguars defensive front guys played their best best games.

Taven Bryan was one, and I thought Roy Robertson Harris played his best game as a Jaguar. Yet even though the numbers weren't staggering from him, it was a different looking feeling defense just from the way it was cold. I think, you know, yeah, Josh Allen back in coverage,

we've seen that something this year. They had the interception, but a lot of times there's pressure coming from different areas and then guys are stepping back in coverage, and especially against an offensive line in Buffalo that had some guys out, that's a lot of moving parts to to keep up with well and and um, the Buffalo Bills love and then what their core offense is all about us three wide receivers, levin personnel and eleven personnel just

to simplify means one back, okay, and one tight end, So that's the one and one, and then the unspoken number is always the wide receivers. Okay. So eleven personnel is one tight end, one back, three wide receivers, which is buffalo plays all the time. And so it's a little bit easier I think to maybe dial in and and and maybe expand some of the things that you want to do because they don't run a they don't

run four tight ends. Hell, he only got tight ends on the roster and the elevated one from the practice squad just to have too for the game because one of them was a scratch from injury. So I think that made a little bit easier. But I'm a big believer, and that's you want to make sure that you're simplistic enough to where your team can play fast and they can be locked in. And I thought the biggest I would say the biggest I don't want to see the

biggest credit. One of the biggest changes that they had from previous weeks was the lack of substitutions or the

minimizing of wholesale changes in personnel groupings. For example, in Seattle there was two instances of twelve men on the field, they're trying to shuffle defensive lineman and on and off the field, And in this game, you didn't see a lot of that, And I think because they didn't do a lot of that, it allowed the players to really hone in lock in on what they're supposed to do, because perfect example, JP, if I'm a linebacker and I'm Miles Jack and I'm I got the green dot, and

I'm trying to get everybody lined up and and communicate with everybody. But then you add to that, I'm trying to figure out do we got to eleven on the field? Do we have twelve or do we have ten? And I'm trying to figure out who's running off and who's running on and which guy do I need to talk to. If I'm doing all that, here's the thing. I'm not getting us lined up and where we need to be. And on top of that, I'm not thinking about what I need to do against what I'm seeing out of

the opponent. And so simplifying it a little bit by not having a lot of these substitution things, I think helped them a little bit. Let's get a little more into the Jaguars Josh Allen day. We heard him after the game, of course, you know, talking about Hey, he heard some of the noise that Josh Allen versus Josh Allen conversation. He had his career day eight tackles all solo, a sack, two tackles for loss, an interception, his first career pick, and a fumble recut every Josh Allen, I'm

just seeing it before he goes and does it. I gotta make those plays when my place, you know when my numbers called, Uh, I mean for me, I am visualized everything. Um a visualized person. I like to speak plays, you know, I like to speak greatness into my head. So you know, when it happens, I'm not surprised, you know what I mean. So I know I worked my butt off. We all work out boats off in practice to get you know, to get right for this week. And uh, I felt like I had a great week

of preparation. I feel like I was in a great mindset and you know, I gotta go out there and play. This season has been building, especially the last month. It feels like for Josh Allen. You know, you have the tackle for loss down around the goal line, which was a big play on the first down play at another TfL in the game, and then I sat all that stuff. But the last few weeks. Week five seven tackle game,

half a sack, couple of quarterback hits. Week six in London, seven tackles, quarterback hit past defense, Week eight Seattle six tackles, couple of sex in that game later in the game. But he had four tackles for the loss against the Seahawks. And then it builds up to this one. This is you know, he's been to a Pro Bowl. We get it, he's a really good player. Coming off the injury last year, there was some can he get back to that form? He's back to that former Well let me let me

let me add this too. He's not doing it alone. Okay. Uh the goal line play that you just talked about that we just showed first and goal from the three or whatever it was, and he has a TfL Gotsis gets great penetration. Okay, go to last week's sack that he had against Seattle, and you have great penetration on a t E by Tavin Bryan that allows a downhill pass rush game move by Josh Allen. So I mean he's not doing it alone. I mean other guys are

playing well too. Did that help him? And uh, but that's what happens most times, right, good defensive that's what you want. You want good performances, building and making other performances better. And Josh was really good. The most impressive thing about Josh JP is I call this football i Q okay and to to try to break it down for you, Josh is incredibly smart and aware on the football field and what awareness does. For example, when the

place snapped, Josh sees things faster than other people. And so since he's seeing things faster than other people or recognizing things faster, it now allows him the advantage that the physical reaction is happening sooner. So people say, gosh, he's so quick. Well, he's quick because the mental i Q is high and so the body's moving faster, quicker than other people. And on top of that, he's got

a great physical skill set. I mean, we know he's you know, he's super athletic, and he's fast and and all of those things, but but the football Q is what makes him what he is. And there's other players that we've seen in the past that have played here that we watch on other teams that they just don't have the awareness the ball runs by him, they don't even know it. But with Josh, he's got the football like you. Another guy that that has it too, that's

playing well as is Dawn Smoot. I mean, Smooth plays hard every week. The stop the cass fumble that he had on Josh Allen, we're gonna actually draw that up all access, okay. And the reason it was a good play is the Jaguars are playing man, which was not something they played a lot of in the game, and it was a short situation where hey, look you've got to get a stop and critical moments that are playing aggressive,

playing man, and they've got everybody in a gap. Well, the one guy that kind of has two gaps on that play is Smoot because if the read option comes, he doesn't have a single response. It's ability if the if the back gets the ball, he's got to tackle the back downhill, closing on on the whole formation. And here we're looking at it now. So if the back got the ball, he was responsible for making that tackle. Josh Allen keeps it. Guess what, he's responsible for making

that too. And it was a great read and a great reaction and then to add on top of that a sure tackle and the athletic skills to to you know, because Josh tried to give him a little fake and go underneath of him, and and he didn't. He just he was on top of it, you know. So I love the way that smooths playing. And he's been playing well as as as well as Josh Allen has been playing over the last number, you know, three or four or five weeks, whatever it's been, I think Smooth has

been been playing well as well. Quarterback hit in six of the seven games that he's played this year for the Wan, Smooth in a sack and three of the last four. I mean, that's here, you go getting hot. Three sacks and four games. I mean, that's about as as good as you can get. And and I think the coaching stuff, and here's the reality. When you have a new coaching staff, sometimes it takes a little bit of time for them to figure out what they got.

I mean, I I even think, like James Robinson, when this coaching staff comes in here, they don't really truly understand what James Robinson is. I think that was clear

in the offseason training camp too. And they're trying to Yeah, absolutely, and then all of a sudden they see him in a game and they're like, uh, five and a half a carry, He's different, right, And and I think the same thing is true sometimes when when you got a guy like Smoot and that you're trying to understand, you know what kind of a role he can play and how good he is. And the one thing I've always appreciated about Smooth he plays hard, and he plays hard

every week. And as a coach and as a fan, I think that's that's all you can ask is to have a player that's committed, that plays hard and shows up every week. And that's exactly what Smoot does. And he gives you his all. I mean, Rudy Ford, we have any right did he come? I mean it's incredibly He's a special teams guy. That's why he came here. And then hey, let's put him in. He's a great special teams coverage guy. Let's put him in on Nickels,

see what he can do. And his third career start ever, he's been in the league for a number of years now, he's what fifth year, Yeah, And like if you're starting out of all burn and he's got kind of the measurables of the safety six ft two and uh, I mean, in fact, that's kind of where they had him on the depth chart. And so the season starts out, you know, they try Tyson Campbell at nicol and I decided to

leave him at the corner spot. And then they put Trey Herndon in there, and then they try Chris Claybrooks and they tried never lost in a little bit. You know, they're like they're still looking and and all of a sudden, you know what, Hey, this this guy that's playing special teams for us. You know, it does a really good job on special teams. You know, let's see what he

can do playing defense. And he has been he's been solid, has been great, but he's been really solid, and uh and I love like the way he has been tackling because the nickel. Remember when you go to nickel, you're taking a linebacker out. So in a lot of formations, the nickel has to tackle. Whoever plays nickel has to be able to say I'm not scared of contact and I'm willing to take on some big boys. Aaron Colvin told me one time, if you're playing nickel, you gotta

have some dog in you. You got He's got a lot of dog in him, and he's got a great he's a he's very physical and that's what I like about him. And he's a really good tackler. And here's the crazy thing, JP, he's still making tackles on kickoff coverage and special teams. They didn't take him off of all of them just because he's the start nickel. He's still playing some of the court teams. Can he get open and routes cus Well, he can't know. And let's not do that too much off there. Let's come back

in a moment. And speaking of offense, we'll hear from Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars cornerback, on the injury and the ankle issue and the game last week and his thoughts around that after he spoke after the game last week.

Jaguars Happy I was bucked. You buy dream Finders homes homes that picked your lifestyle and by Baptist health, changing healthcare for good. Yeah. No, I thought it was a lot worse than after you some time and we scanned it. It was good and just a little bit of weight on it. Gradually I was feeling better and better. Give a little bit of time um and help, but man,

it was. It was cool to see c J go in there and be ready and just through a couple of great balls that wanted to add was a freaking dime that he threw, So that was that was cool to see him just going there. And from that, of course, it's Trevor Lawrence sees the Jaguars starting quarterback and this is Jaguars Happy Our J P. Shadrick with Jeff Laghuman coming up at five o'clock. It's the Urban Meyers Show.

Head coach Aban Meyer joins us on the Jaguars Radio Network Hard Rock Sports book must be twenty one and physically President Florida to wager concerned about gambling, please call five to two four seven zero zero, presenting sponsor of

the Jaguars Digital Network. That when made everybody hold their breath for about twenty minutes or so of real time I think fifteen twenty minutes with Trevor Lawrence took the hit from Walker Little's back foot being pushed back and got the ball free and then hit his ankle down. He goes he can't even walk by himself up the tunnel, and it's like, oh no, this is not happening, right, Yeah, it was. Two thoughts were kind of going through my head.

First one obviously was oh no, uh, you don't need this happening to your rookie quarterback because you don't want to lose any any any minute of development in the first year. And number two is I was like, Walker Little gets his first start and all people are gonna talk about is that he got pushed back and he stepped on the quarterbacks foot and he heard him and he took him out. I mean, that's not the way you want to start your your NFL careers, first start

out with. But but thank goodness, he came back and so now it's just it's just an afterthought now or a side note. I mean, from the way he went off the field with athletic trainer in one arm and team doctor and the other two coming out running sprints

going back in the game, that's that's pretty tough. Now in the quarterback we were we were in a in a radio booth, you know, me and Tony and Frank and Dave and Cush and we're sitting there and the first somebody throws out their achilles and I was like, don't say that, don't you doctors in the radio booth? Now that so uh So, yeah, I mean, fortunately, thank goodness. Yeah, But I mean that's because at first, you we couldn't see the replay to where you saw Walker a little

stepping on the ankle. So now you're thinking at first, at you know, when a quarterback plants that back foot, that that's you know, so uh and then we finally kind of saw a different replay that showed where he got stepped on. But yeah, that was that was a pretty secary moment. And and I want the best part for me, is it Okay, he's getting carried off, helped off the field, goes right in the tunnel. I'm guessing they went right and take an X ray. Maybe not,

I don't know, because it's right there. By the end of that time, it's really close. Uh. And every NFL stadium has to have X ray facilities, And so did he go into double check or did he start to feel better as he got up in there, But he said it got scanned. So I'm guessing, yeah, you're not gonna it's gonna be an X ray alright. So the best part is he comes back and he wont he wants to put me in, Coach put me in, and so he might add a few more choice words than that.

But you know, I don't know, No, I think Trevor is probably pretty clean, but but I appreciated the toughness factor of your I think there are some choice words coming from the stands, though, I'll say that they wanted him back in the at the time. Patrick Mahomes okay, not having a great year, but one of one of the things that we've learned about Patrick Mahomes over the last couple of years tough as nails, right, was gonna play through some things. And last year he banged up

at the end of the year. And that's that's what's required to play the position. You have to have a toughness factor. And so, uh, you know, and you can figure that he's tough because he played at Clemson. He was a running quarterback. But you sit there and you go, well, you know, I mean, look, this is the NFL. It's a little harder, a little bit more physical. But to see him come back and say put me in, I mean that's okay. Now. You know, you always wonder, you

always think, you know, is our quarterback tough? Because you need to be tough to be able to play the game. And uh, I don't think there's any question he's he's tough guy. And that when your quarterback is tough, that permeates through the rest of the team. If this guy's out here on one leg, I better start catching the

football on the other end. There were a couple of instances where happy we're here, Oh gosh, throws Beth Thord makes it throw in the end zone, a couple of other like that that, Hey, in a tight game, like if you know you're hoping you're going to be in a lot of times, there's not a lot of margin for error. You got this team. You gotta make some plays, gotta make plays, and and the quarterbacks gotta make some

place too. Okay, Okay, yeah, Marvin Marvin Jones Junior had a great kind of double move on the corner, little stutter go late in the game, starter to go. Okay, which would have put it away. I mean, you score a touchdown in a game like that, it's like, okay, here we go victory and Trevor overshoots him, and uh, you know so and then some of the stuff that you know that he can be a little bit better at. So you know that both ways. That yeah, it works,

it works both ways. And and the more experience he gets, the more anticipation he has, the more accuracy he will have. And and he's admitted that something that's something that he needs to work on, which is the accuracy. But part of the accuracy is just not the physical throwing of the football. It's the anticipation and too, and the mental mechanics that you go through before the decision to let the ball loose happens, and that will that will speed

up for him. I think the Jaguars miss James Robinson last week. Carlos Tank was in the game, was the starter's onny one, carries sixty seven yards three point to average, and fumbled the football way down on the red zone as well. Yeah, and uh, the reality is that James Robinson is a is a He's the top five back in the league. I mean that's and I don't think

there's any question about that. And I will tell you this, his importance to this football team, having a young quarterback might be, uh maybe greater than any running back around in the league. So you need him. I was a little disappointed, I'll tell you that. I'll be honest. I didn't like the fact that they were working him out before the game to turn at all. Not he's gonna play,

you said, just forget it, just sit out. I mean, look, when you have a player that that's that's that has that importance level to a team, that it can't be a game day decision. It can't be you know, you you gotta, you gotta, it's gotta be a little bit bigger picture than that. And uh, you know, and when when he comes out to do his thing, we're on

our radio boots and we get to see this. And it was after literally after watching for just a minute, you could tell that he was not ready and so but nonetheless, I mean, he didn't play, So I mean it all worked out, but you know, he and and hopefully he'll be ready this week. But here's the reality. If if it's a question, you got to remember there's a lot of football left to be played eight games after this one, and he's your he's your best offensive

player right now. So you gotta say when you when you start trying to make a decision, you have to remember those things plenty ahead on Jaguars Happy Hour, when we return, we'll take an early look at the Indianapolis Colts. It's a good team. The record is four and five, but they have some things they do very well, and we'll get on both sides of the football. A little later, we'll get into the Baptist Health injury report and take

a look at a f C South standings. Then at five o'clock it's the Urban Meyers Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. This is Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Hard Rock Sports Book Digital Network, The Jaguars Happy Hours. Bluck you buy t I A a bank turned potential into progress and by public where shopping is a pleasure. We're not going nowhere. Uh, you know, we gotta build. We're going to build on this. You know we're not I'm I'm glad, you know what I'm saying. I'm not

up here saying, oh, we gotta do better. We gotta know you know what I'm saying. When we all on our stuff. You know what I'm saying, we can be a really great defense and it showed today. You know what I'm saying. Our defense line can go against any

offensive line any time of the week. You know what I mean, any offense, stop anywhere and stop any past and you know, we did what we needed to do and hopefully we gotta capitalize this get better um Tuesday or Wednesday, and uh go out here with the mindset we gotta we gotta beat the code and get better and win the game. That is Josh Allen, Jaguars defensive end and outside linebacker after the game this past Sunday and went over the Buffalo Bills with the defense dominated

and welcome back, It's Jaguars Happy Hour. Jaguars game day broadcasts are presented by Vice Charke, Credit Union j P Shad with Jeff Lagoman. How about the threads on Josh Allen. There has got the got the teal jacket going, I mean sporting sporting Josh Josh is uh, he's kind of he's kind of one of the most interesting men in the world. Kind of look thing going on because I'll say, you know, if anybody knows style it's Jeff Lagman. Well, I wouldn't say that. Yeah, okay, maybe I'm wrong on

that one, right, Okay, yeah, it's not camo. I am the furthest thing from being knowledgeable on style. This is and now, Yeah, if it's camouflage or orange, you know, or a mix of those two, camo, I know, you know all about there's all kind of different types of camo. We'll save that for the outdoor show. I do, okay, but I know camo best. Let's take a look at the Indianapolis Colts and the culture four and five. You know, they're trying to, you know, walk down the Tennessee Titan

to the FC South. That's not gonna be so easy the way the Titans played. We'll get to the uh the division results a little bit later. But the Colts, you know, they've got a running game, and their offense ranks right up there among the best in the run game this year. Fifth in the National Football League in rushing offense twelfth and total offense um third down the middle of the pack scoring though their top ten in the league. They get, they get points, they can put

it in the end zone. Jonathan Taylor is a big reason why they're running back out of Wisconsin. He's the second leading rusher in the NFL right now, behind Derrick Henry, and he's a little over a hundred yards away from surpassing him. Henry's out for a while, and let's hope this is not the week he overtakes Derrick Henry in that department. But this is Jonathan Taylor's world. Carson Wentz just seems to kind of be living in it and managing it. I think that's the goal, at least in Indiapolis.

I don't think they want to put it in Carson's hands all the time. They don't have like the the stable of playmakers outside they might have had in the past. Weast in Indianapolis. This is a running offense that it's Jonathan Taylor's world. Well, they've got a very good offensive line, and if you put too much pressure on Carson Wentz, he can make some throws that just make you go, what are you thinking? In fact, Josh Allen had one this past weekend that he threw to Josh Allen that

was highly questioned. What kind of throws it out under heat, had to run to rest? He just kind of without looking throws it in the general direction of where his guy was. Wins had one of those in overtime a couple of weeks ago. It was terrible. What is going on? It was terrible? What do you do? I know the exact one you're talking about, because that's the one that I saw. And it was literally he almost lost the game for him, right, And that's the literally almost lost

the game for him. And uh he It's amazing to me that just a matter of a couple of years ago he was being talked about about the next great quarterback. I mean literally the air apparent to to the Peyton manning Tom Brady in the National Football League. And then all of a sudden, he just he just falls off a cliff performance wise, and he's not able to get it back. That did lose the game for him? Does that that led to the game winning field goal? Okay?

And then uh so he has an opportunity to reunite with his former coach in Philadelphia, Frank Right, who was now the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, and and and it's a it's the perfect fit for him. You know. Look, I hope he does well, you know, but not this week, But I hope he does well in his career, and I don't ever root for anybody to to not have great success unless they're playing with the jack playing against the Jaguars. But I mean, I want him to do well.

But I mean it's it's a great opportunity for him to go to where he has uh to number one where he's wanted, a number two, where he's comfortable, and that's a good place for him. He's still got a ways to go. And he started the season out he had ankle and foot injuries I think it was, and it was you could tell he wasn't running. And he still doesn't look back to because the Carson wentz that that I've seen run healthy runs better than how he's

running right now. That's been the story of his career. The injuries, you know, they ce l a few years ago, and then that changed everything with Fulls coming in in Philly and then that that's been the story of his his career. You touched on it though, the offensive lines where it's at, I mean that left guard is we know that from the last few years, Clinton Nelson, that's

a handful. There's not many offensive linemen that literally that I would say are the worth the price of admission in football, and I think Quenton Nelson is one of those guys. Um. I mean he is um and I haven't had a chance to watch him, and I'll get it. I'll get a chance to watch a lot of film on him this week. And then he played up earlier in the year. Yeah, he missed some time. I don't want to it was a back or or something. He had something going on. So he's just getting back into

flow things. But when he plays, there's when he played and he has been at his best. Who would you compare him to Larry Allen, Steve Hutchinson. I mean these are Hall of Fame type guys now, I mean that's that's kind of where he plays at. I mean he's that good big leader, physical, can pull, which is can move, which pounds pounds, It pulls like he's a you know, two nine pound guard, no problem. So in he screams

when he's getting ready to hit. But yeah, it's a couple of years ago and he was a rookie I think it was, and he was on a poll play and he's yeah, I think that was a fake video though they took it back. The culturally, yeah, we we faked it. That was not real. That was real. It's not real. Get out of it's for real. Not the video. That was for real. Yeah, holler run No, that was not fake. Not it was fake. No, we'll look it up. I don't believe that. Let's take a time out. We'll

look at we'll we'll come back. No, no, no, we're not gonna take a time out yet. Well, well, m we'll look that up in the next break. I want to do that. We will, because I think I'm right, You're so like my what I'm thinking of Clinton Nelson. I'll put a dollar it was all fake. I'll put a dollar. I'll get your dollar. Okay, is that I don't know if that's a defense. Let's move along. Colts defense. This is a group now we liked their coach faced

off against the Bills last week. Another really good defense, you know, statistically whatever, overall pretty good against the run for play, you know, but they take the ball away more than anybody in football. Twenty takeaways, ten fumbles, ten interceptions, and it's Darius Leonard punching that ball out four different forced fumbles this year for him, the linebacker. They've got a few different guys with the interceptions. They're They're a

solid group. They have a good a good defensive line with the Forrest Buckner former first round pick up there, they got Leonard back there behind him. This group can get it done. Yeah. Like I said, I'll start with with the coordinator because I think he does a really good job. Matt Eberfless. I hopefully pronounced his name properly because I want to make sure I give him the

respect that he deserves. He's been I think of a constant for the Colts, even though that they've had some change with their offensive coordinator because okay, they got a coordinator that's now the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. I believe Sirianni came from the Colts. So they have

been wildly consistent. At some point when this new era and popularity of of getting the next great offensive mind to be the head coach, somebody's gonna look at Mattiberfleiss and go, this guy has been wildly consistent and successful as a defensive coach. We need to take a look

at him. But he's not fancy, but he gets guys to play at a high level for him, and and I think that's the thing that I appreciate most about him, and uh, this defense has some good football players on it too, don't don't you know take my thoughts on that differently is to thinking that he's making magic out of nothing, because Darius Leonard is arguably the best metal linebacker and football. He intercepts the ball, he causes fumbles, he makes tackles everywhere. He is an all pro, he

is all world. And he's got a guy playing up in front of him, the Forest Buckner, who they were able to get in free agency giving up a number one pick to the San Francisco forty niners. And Buckner is a stud. He's six ft six, six ft seven, you know, two hundred and pounds three hundred pounds. He's long, he's strong, he moves well. He's got, uh the ability to anticipate. And him paired with Grover Stewart, who's the other defensive tackle, they're pretty good group. Now. They're a

little young on the edges. You know. They got a first round pick, Quitty pay and how Kady Mohammed and uh Comico tore Been uh banago banagoo, I think is how you pronounced his name. These guys are all fairly new to it, and they got a second round pick out of Vanderbilt that is playing defense events. So they're young on the edges. But the two guys in the middle now Stewart and Buckner there for real, Yeah, that's where it all begins. There. You got your wallet, but

I want to get it out lost. Yeah, because that was against the Jaguars. He pulled against Barry Church. And then they asked about it. You know, they put it out there as a viral video. This is back in Gosh, two thousand eighteen, and it was Nelson pulling and running over Barry Church and it had him screaming on the play. So they asked him about it, and Quentin Nelson told reporters that Tuesday after that he did not yell on the play. He said, it got pretty viral on the internet,

which was cool. I wasn't yelling, not on that play. I don't know how it got amped up. And the Indianapolis Star reported that the Colts video depart, I've been added screaming into the video clip for fun. So that's a George Washington coming my way. All right, that's about that. That's so wrong though. See I'm just telling you what happened. Well, I mean, I can tell you this, that video kind of helped build the legend. Yeah, that might have been part of the idea. I mean, I don't know it worked.

I mean, you know what he needs to do. He needs to start yelling and screaming like that all the time. Maybe if he's gonna play like that, then they might want him to do that all the time. Let's come back in a moment, we'll get to the injury report. We will go around the a f C South, look at the results and the standings and all of that coming up. We're also here from Urban Meyer. Again. If you're looking for the m v P of the truck game,

then look no further than Ford 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. Is the official truck of the NFL and proud partner of your Jacksonville Jaguars and it's Jaguars Happy Hour. I'm the Jaguars Hard Rock Sports Book, Digital Network, Smoot and Josh Allen. I'm kind of clump those guys together, Josh. At the end of the season last there's two two

sixty over two sixty. You know our star. I just love dragging about Schlegel and fur getting our sports performance team. And same with Smoot. We put him on a four day a week lifting. He's getting stronger during the season usually the wear and tear, especially lineman go and reverse. Our guys are getting stronger and it's a credit to most importantly the players, but also that group of people

that we put together. We're a stronger team right now that we were early in the year, which that usually doesn't happen. That's that coach Urban Meyer. Earlier this week on Monday, you'll hear more from Urban coming up on the You Guessed at the Urban Meyer Show and the Jaguars Radio Network. That's at five o'clock ten minutes from right now. This is Jaguars Happy Hour. I'm J. P. Shadrick. That's Jeff Lagaman. The Jags get the Indianapolis Colts and veterans.

Choose v A for the benefits you've earned. Visit choose dot v A dot gov. You know, uh, there's all this officiating talk going on around the league today after Monday Night football last Yeah, well, we're gonna see that guy in Indianapolis this weekend. Yeah, Tony Carente, you know, I didn't watch it when it happened. Seeing all the videos and stuff afterwards that that's been a it's a

new emphasis this year though, the tawning rule. It's been a topic of conversation all year because it just adds something else to the plate. Official officials have an incredibly tough, tough gig each week. Obviously, But um, it just didn't see it, by the way, I was, I was already in bed, that's past my bedtime. But I saw the replay of it, and um, by the way, for people that were wondering, Cassius Marsh, he was here, was here. Okay.

His father is Curtis Marsh, who played for the Jaguars back in the early days with me, and he was a very talented young receiver. And so anyway, uh, in my in my mind, and I'm I'm one of the biggest proponents of taking taunting out of the game. That's that's not taunting, taking the the actual taunting out, not the call of taunting. You wanted to be called, Yeah, I wanted to be called. I'm what I'm saying, But I'm saying what he did in that game was not

what I considered taunting. I think taunting you there has to be a proximity to another person that's kind of in your face. If you're standing twenty yards away from a group of people and you're putting your hands on your hips and you're just kinda get him, the old stink guy, that's not taunting. Okay, come on, And then here's the thing that that was, okay, taunting. Throw the flag right then and air. Yeah, don't wait until you kind of lean into him anticipating a little contact, and

then throw your flag. The flag should have been thrown long before any contact with the official happened. And it's not like Cassius Marsh initiated the contact. He's not even really paying attention to where the the official is at. The official kind of leans into him, maybe bracing for contact, and for whatever reason current he's gotta gotta beef with this player for what he did. And he's just you know, waiting,

Oh yeah, you're bumping me, or you touch me. I'm gonna throw my flag after you staring down the sideline. Come on, well, he claimed after the game to the AP reporter of the poor whatever he says, there's a bunch of garbage, total garbage, and the league, the league needs to have a conversation with him, seriously, because if that were reversed, if a player backed kind of leans

into an official, I mean, it would be highly criticized. Right, yeah, so the officials, and I look, I know officials have a hard job an official, but here's the reality. Officials can make mistakes too. They're not immune. We don't have robots. They're not immune. So I think that the league needs to have a little conversation and say, okay, if it was taunting, why did you wait to throw the flag

once you lean back kind of into him? Why, I mean why he was already leaving what you considered taunting. He was, he was already done with it. Most of the time, when somebody taunts, as soon as the taunting action is initiated, the official looks at it, grabs red yellow flag and then throws. Like if I was breaking away on a touchdown, which I often do, by the way, I would if I pointed at you, um on the weight of the end zone, that would be considered taunting.

Throw the flag right there there you go, right, I mean, as soon as that point happened. If I held the football out of your face in the end zone, that's taunting, boom flag throwing it immediately immediately, not when I run back to the bench. Okay, you go and you stick the ball in my face and you turn around, you walk fifteen yards away, and then I look at you and I go, oh, now I'm gonna throw it. Yeah, that's what We'll see what happens with it. But yeah,

you're right football Zebras. I think is the Twitter handle or something to that effect that has uh an insight to a lot of officiating and all that. And they have all the the the referees assignments for the week that they announced on Tuesday, so that that came out, did they make any comment about this call? I didn't look through it all the way. I just saw that Corinthie is gonna be on the Jacks game. So there you go. Well, you know, here, here's what the league does.

And this is not a joke. Yeah, when you have some type of controversy, what's the best way to handle it? Put it on somewhere that's not gonna get a whole lot of eyes. Okay, So I mean I wouldn't be surprised is that the assignment of Jacksonville at Indy was done on purpose because it's a it's not gonna be a game that's gonna be the country Sunday night football.

Not not do it. Let's move along now to the Baptist Health injury report, Baptists Health changing healthcare for good, and of course Monday head coach Urban Meyer discussed a few different guys that were nicked up last week. Trevor Lawrence of course with the lower ankle sprain. But it sounds like, at least from what Urban said Monday, he should be okay, no boot or anything moving around. We'll ask Urban coming up and just a little bit and see what he has to say. James Robinson, same idea

he'll issue. You know, it was going pregame, trying to go, couldn't do it. Cam Robinson was one that from all reports, came about fifteen or twenty minutes before the game is back, just tightened up. Did he ever come out to the field. I don't think so. I never saw him. I don't think so. So that Walker Little had to go and and urbans that after the game it's happened to him before, Like that's not a new thing for cam. So hopefully

he's back and ready to go. And of course they've added J two fell a two injured reserve now, so that long list continues on the right side. Maybe at some point the next two weeks you might see Lender come back in the fold. Hopefully, you know, because the need thing's done now, at least a couple of weeks ago. I mean typically the high ankle I think is like six to eight. Yeah, right, is that? I mean time four to six? Maybe if you're really lucky, I think it's so. I mean, how many weeks is it now?

It's it's pushing about five four or five? Yeah, which game was the injured in? I don't remember as early um week three? Uh Town Taylor, Mr Block, I remember that. I want to say it was Cincinnati either way, and the next month you might be able if the things are going well to him, just to see him back on it. Um. So apparently it was the Yeah, that's good looking up. Let's take a look at the FC South results from this past weekend. Of course, around the division,

the Jaguars of course knocked off the Buffalo Bills. We know that one we were here nine to six the Colts over the Jets on Thursday thirty. The final score Jonathan Taylor with a hundred seventy two yards He broke away for a seventh yard or in that game for a score, one of two touchdowns for him. Carson Wentz through three touchdown passes and the defense stood up big again for the Colts. The Dolphins over the Texans seventeen nine.

Tyrod Taylor for Houston through three interceptions in his return to the lineup. The Texans haven't one since they beat the Jaguars back in Week one. And then the Titans over the Rams sixteen Simmons on the d line was six tackles and three sacks. Kevin Byard we know him well, had an interception return for a touchdown for the Titans. And they don't need Derrick Henry right now. They could use them, obviously, but they came out and just beat the hell out of the Rams on Sunday Night football.

So we look at the a s C South standings after week nine and as you would expect, Titans at the top, leading the way and still leading the way by a good amount over the Indianapolis Colts Tennessee seven and two. Indy four and five, Jacksonville two and six, Houston at one and eight. The upcoming schedules, well, they're as difficult as they have been, of course in the weeks prior. The Jaguars do not have a bye week th rest of the way they've already had. There's Texans

on a bye this week. The Titans are against the New Orleans Saints this week in week number ten, that's in Nashville, Tennessee. And by the way, uh, Lennard was hurt in the Tennessee game, Um so got it? If so, if he was hurt in the Tennessee game, I want to make sure I got this correct, because he was placed on arth for the Miami game. So that Miami. So it's one week, two weeks, five weeks three, Buffalo four, so the fifth right now, there's no official word on that.

Just I was looking at the list and you know, starting center, just trying to get an idea for you know, win and if he may be back, you know, so I mean, like like we said, you know, it can be six years, six ish weeks or more for a high ankle. So at best, you know, maybe have a chance next week, maybe Thanksgiving, maybe more and more yeah,

so we'll see all right. Coming up next the Urban Meyers Show, we'll hear from the Jaguars head coach, as we do each and every Tuesday afternoon, getting his head about the Jaguars victory over the Buffalo Bills that's coming up on the Jaguars Radio Network. This has been Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Hard Rock Sports Book Digital Network.
