Jaguars Happy Hour: Tuesday, October 19

it's a bye week coming up. Jaguars analyst Jeff Loguman joins us here just a moment, we'll take a final look at the Jaguars win over the Dolphins twenty three twenty we will preview the bye week for the football team, not for me or maybe for me in logs two, who knows the Urban Meyer showed five o'clock. Head coach Urban Meyer joins us on the Jaguars Radio Network today. Hope you'll stick around for that. That's who the head

coach has to say. We'll get his final thoughts and see maybe what was going through his mind on those field goals. So they were in the air, the last two of them at taught to Mot Spur Stadium last Sunday. Jeff Lackerman with us now Jaguars analysts and it all just looks, feels, smells. Is different After you win a football game, well, I think from the standpoint of the team,

you get joy. You know, you get to validate why why you work so hard And and as Bill parcel As you say on that the great NFL Films moment, because that's why you looked all them damn weights and why you sweat and you do this and you do that. You know it's a win because that's why you're paid to play, is to win football games. And very happy for this football team. It it helps give you a little bit of validation that your hard work is not

all for nothing. And uh and and very proud of the way they got the victory because I thought that the game could have at any moment in the second half when you had some bad things happened to where you you turn the ball over on downs and you don't kick a field goal. And I mean it would have been very easy for a team that's lost twenty in a row to kind of say, oh, here we go again, we're not gonna be able to win. But they didn't do that. And I think the play of

the young quarterback was exceptional. I think that's the story of the game by far. There were so many close moments. The Jamal agnew did he touch it or not? On the punt return that could have really what do you think I thought first glance that he touched it. How does the ring finger on its own? God, that's an odd movement. I don't know, but that kind of thing. And then, like you said, the fourth and one going for it, didn't get it, didn't get the push and

couldn't get the first down. They drive down and score, and then JAG's rally back. They hit the screen just fifty four yard field goal. You'll see that twisted and turn earned and somehow found the bottom right corner. It was guided, was guided, it was something else, and then it might have been something else guided. We'll take it. And then the fourth and one stop Josh Allen was there first to make the play. And then another field

goal and the slider play. All that happened in the fourth third, a slider play that was really should be called the Pete Rose play because it really wasn't a slider. I mean, they didn't slide like you're supposed to. I mean really, I mean at some point. I mean, the whole concept of the slider play is too gave a minimum game because you're not gonna be able to gain a lot of yards. It's not like you're looking again twenty. You're looking to gain a quick, little chunk of yards.

And then the receiver goes down when I say, goes down feet first. That's the slide, like the old baseball feet first lock a quarterback giving himself up. The reason why you want to go feet first is because it's giving yourself up, so now you can the team can use the time out when you go head first. That's the play. You're still kind of alive, and the Dolphins make a huge mistake and we're watching it now on

our monitor. You can see that the safety Brandon Jones touches Leviska down and Urban who did a great job of communicating with the official on the sideline, saying, hey, look, once we get down, we want to time out immediately. And you can see that the official that he's standing right next to as soon as Levisca is touch you know, the hands are waving in the air to stop the

game clock. And uh, and I don't know how many times that I watched that play on film going on thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three, one thousand four, and it was it was four seconds. It wasn't like it was. It might have been a little lesson for they got it perfect, I mean, he said. And Daryl Bebble spoke with the media today and you know, said,

the parameters were really stretched on that play. It's the normally don't need eight yards, they need about five or six and they usually need about six seconds instead of five. And they were kind of, hey, rolling the dice. But the worst that happens there, okay, maybe the clock runs out and you get overtime, right, is that you lose the game in that scenario. Well, they were gonna run the Hail Mary before that, and then they had a conversation and said, well, hey, let's try the slider play

and and you know, and it worked. I mean, and give give the Jaguars credit that the Dolphins were playing and we're gonna actually look at this in the football lab on Jack's Wire this week on Wednesday night on Fox thirty. This the way that they defensed it. They had two guys all the way back at the goal line, and then they had everybody else was underneath, but everybody was. They were playing man, which is kind of surprising, and then they had everybody playing outside leverage for their men.

La Visca, the guy, the safety that was in the middle, he was essentially just kind of a free player. And which is Jones, the guy that touched Lavisca down. He really didn't have any responsibility because you had a defensive back over on the outside of Lavisca. So they're playing for maybe a quick out route which you know you could drow and then receiver goes out because if it's if a players tackled in the middle of the field or whatever, then it could end up delaying, you know,

the possible. So Brian Flores I thought played it smartly, thinking that they're gonna go to the perimeter to to get the clock stop. And the Jaguars I think got very fortunate, very fortunate that Jones touches Lavisca and uh because a lot of things got to go right on that play. And credit to the quarterback. He got rid of the ball quick and made it happen because a lot of quarterbacks would be like unsure and he was

just I mean, bam, there it is. It sounded like they've done it a lot in practice over the weeks, just trying plays similar to that, situations like that, and it comes up in a game and they finally got to go through with it. But everybody's excited for the win, and rightly so. Um I think I'm most excited about it because you're not flirting with history anymore. The losing skit is over twenty games. I know these guys have

been working their tails off and all that. We will here from Coach Meyer coming up in just a little bit about all of that. But you know it was in the NFL, you're here to win football games, and when you do it almost at a record streak, it's not good for any part of the organization, certainly not the to the to the opposite of what the objective is. That's right, and that that that puts everything in your

whole organization um at risk. That's a problem. I mean, you're because and it permeates through the entire from the football side, I think through the business, ticketing side, sponsorship, all these people that are supporting the football side of things. It's over now. I think that's the most important thing you can focus on the next week ahead. Refresh a little bit. Okay, Jags have won a game. They're trying

to get better. They have some things that work on, but that's the boat for me, at least, the best feeling of all. Well, the streak is over, but the quest to be a consistent winner is not. That's that that that This team's got a long way to go before it gets to that. But I think the I'm gonna go back to this and say this again. In order to do that, you have to have a quarterback. And I think that that game, right there was an

exceptional game by a young quarterback. I'm talking exceptional, and I think there were many moments in that ball game that those around him weren't playing to his level. In other words, they need to play better for this team to be better. Numerous instance, how many drops did we have in the ball goal? Okay, some of those drops we're just flat out drops. There was also some balls that got batted down because the receivers aren't coming back

to the ball. I mean, that's the one thing I think that young players and you got to coach him up. Young players in the league don't understand is that in college quarterback throws the ball and it's on its way and and then the receiver would just kind of sit there and wait, No, you can't do that in the NFL. You gotta come back to the ball because they talk about how windows are so much smaller in the National Football either smaller because the defensive backs and everybody's faster,

so you have to be able to adjust. And I think the wide receivers need to do a much better job of coming back to the ball. Dan Arnold had one didn't come back to the ball on a scramble by Trevor Lawrence down of the pocket. Trevor was making what do they call that, making chicken soup out of chicken. Yeah, he was making something good out of the play and Arnold sits down and he's waiting for the ball like fifteen eighteen yards and he's just sitting there. Well, that

gives the defensive back time to come back. And Rea, I mean, you gotta come back. And if you come back and get it, you got a great play. And that's my point about how there's some people around Trevor that need to start elevating their level of play because he's making it possible for them to do. So it's a it was a good start though, to get that victory. And you know, we can go through it all kinds of ways, and we will over the next fifty minutes

or so here on Jaguars Happy Hour. UM. Let's continue on offense though, and the run game continued to be a strong point for this Jags team. James Robinson put together a solid day of work. Most of his time carrying the football was in the second half of last week's game. He had a touchdown early, a one yard score. There he is with that four point three average. Again,

he's now sixth in the league in rushing yardage. And if you look at the first six, three of them are in the a f C South by the way, the three of the six rushing leaders. Um, but look at the the the amount of carries that Derrick Henry has to lead the way in the NFL so far, He's got a hundred and sixty two carries, seven hundred eighty three yards. Right, it's still a great average four point eight. And what is uh, what is it Jonathan Taylor in Indianapolis? How many carries this tailor has got

eighty seven for four seventy two. James Robinson's got eighty four for four sixty. Henry's got twice as many carries as these guys. I mean, it's it's pretty remarkable. Yeah, he's a different level, different offense, different things. JP what do when James gets the ball? He's still effective on average as much at least as Henry. Uh. First and foremost, Uh Derrick Henry is uh otherworldly. I mean that's the only way to describe it. I mean, some of the

things that he's doing. I mean he's doing it year in and year out, and and he's basically carrying that Tennessee football team on his back. Yeah, that's right, he is. He's carrying him on the back on his back. And he got a new contract. But is he is he's still underpaid. Oh yeah, yeah, he's still underpaid. James Robinson's definitely underpaid. He's still on an undrafted rookie deal, probably making somewhere around minimum. And uh and as good as he is, at some point he's gonna make a lot

more money because he's a really good back. And what I love about him is that he's just he's so smart. He's got great vision, he's efficient with his with his footwork. How many times did we see him because the Miami Dolphins were coming up now to stop him. Now they were they were they were aggressive, I really aggressive in

their defense. Put a lot of guys line of scrimmage to stop him also to try to pressure Trevor Lawrence, and James Robinson was able to power through a lot of guys that had him tackled for no gain or minus yardage. And I'm talking like carrying guys for a game of three and a half when he should have been a Most backs that were that our average in this league would have been tackled for a no gainer or a one yard game. And he's gaining three and four yards. That's how good he is. So I love him.

I think that the more that that this offense continues to work with Trevor Lawrence and these receivers, and more efficient they get, the better they get it third down, because that's not a very good area for them right now bad on Sunday. The better they get in that area, the more carries that James Robinson will see, and the ability of an offensive line to kind of take control of a game will be able to occur because you're

keeping the chains moving and stacking some plays together. When we return, we'll flip it around to the defensive sidelocks and get your take on what the Jags defense had to offer Sunday. Well, they got a lot of work to do, JP, but we've got a lot of show left. They got they got a lot of work to do on that side of the ball. And I and and I'm gonna be just give you a little snapshot here that I don't think all of it can be done this year. I mean that's they're gonna have to fight

and cratch and squaw and claw cratching. You must have dinner on the mind. We'll take a time out and come back defensive talk cratching slaw. When we come back, it's Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Hard Rock Sports Book Digital Network. Jaguars Happy Hours, but you buy dream Finders homes homes that fit your lifestyle and by Baptist Health, Changing Healthcare for good. Welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy Hour on this Tuesday afternoon. It's the bye week, coming off

a Jaguars win. Everybody's feeling good, everybody. That wouldn't be a bad week for a concert. Right at Daily's Place, the schedule is starting to cool, down a bit for the fall. These are the final three shows scheduled October twenty three. Little Big Town, It's coming up in a few days. Came Brown two nights November twelve, tickets at

Daily's Place dot com. Well, the weather is perfect for that kind of thing, right, I mean it could be a touch cooler, but I mean it seems like I'm very happy to see that we're out of the the heat of summer. We have now approached fall weather. Autumn is officially here, right, didn't that happened just a week or two ago on the calendar. I don't know how that works, man, I don't know the exact date. And I think we are. I think it's here now, at

least our version of it in Florida. Yeah, whatever that is. Yet, this is what it is, basically victory Tuesday. Yeah all day. That makes the weather feel better. The weather is better. Every slaw tastes incredible. I mean, you got it's incredible. It could be on the humidity and it would be if it would be filling perfect a perfect weather day. Defense. Well, the rush seemed to get closer to two. Uh, they didn't hit him, but only three times they didn't sack him,

but they affected himself. But there was just guys running wide open in the secondary, so he could get it out and have a lot of success. And he really wasn't that good. Two wasn't I mean really, I mean, he wasn't that good. And they racked up four hundred thirty one yards. I mean, think of what what that number could have been if two ends up making some throws like the one that he's rolling out of the pocket to his left and he can he can gain fifteen yards and move the sticks on a third down

and he tries to throw it. I don't know who he's throwing it to do you know, I still haven't figured it out. And two guys and the ball doesn't even land within like six yards of either guy. Tafter that game, I was like, man, I'm glad that, uh, that's not our quarterback. So but got a lot of work to do as a defense. I mean, they've got to uh and you know, they're pretty good against the run, but this is a passing league now, and to have

a chance, you have to stop the run. If you don't stop the run, then you definitely don't have a chance in a passing lead because it makes the opponent to have the ability to be multidimensional, and it opens up play action, which is a big part of your chunk plays given up. The Jaguars defense are giving up some chunk plays without play action. I mean just tight ends. Well,

the tight ends. And you know, when you've had some mental errors in the past, communication you know, you can call it communication, you can call it Emmy's mental errors, whatever you want to call it. But the breakdowns, you try to clean them up as much as possible. And you're always gonna have some mental errors in a game. You're just you know that there's always a goal or an objective to have a minimal amount and each coach will have like the winning formula points giving up, mental

ayrors allowed per game, yards rushing allowed per game. They have all these different categories to see if you can or to give you an idea of what you need to do to have success. And right now the defense is just there. I mean they're doing an okay job against the run. Teams are able to put a total number of rushing yards up. That's probably not where you want to be just because of the number of players are able to put together. Because the third down percentage

that they're converting that is higher. And also the passing numbers that an opponent is having is is making it difficult on the Jaguars defense. And the intermediate route with the tight ends was a problem in this game, and people all say, well, you know whose fault is that? And it just depends on the coverage. I mean, when you're playing a zone coverage, which that's what the Jaguars

are playing more of now than they are playing. Man, it could be a middle linebacker, it could be an outside linebacker, it could be a safety, it could be a corner. You just I mean, it depends on the coverage. And they were rolling a lot of guys in at linebacker,

Miles Jack is out and Damien Wilson's out there. You know that Shaq quarterman was out there running around and you had you had one of one instance that the one thing that Miami likes to run with two is a lot of that read option look where he sticks it in the in the belly of a running back and then pulls it out. And the whole reason teams love to run this RPO kind of look is because when the quarterback sticks the ball into the stomach of

a running backs belly. The linebackers have to honor that, so they either have to stay put or come up if they start forward. Now, all of a sudden, you've got somebody leaking in behind him on a pass route, and that's where the quarterback is trying to throw it. So the whole reason for sticking the ball in the running back stomach is to pull the linebackers up to give more space between the linebackers and the safeties or

the linebackers in the corners or nickel or whoever. Obviously, if they don't come up or they stay back and moved back, just hand it off and let the running back. So yeah, and that's you know, it's a what do they say, a double edged sword kind of in that uh, you know. The great linebackers though they know it, they feel it, They read it based on what's happening with the big picture. They look at the offensive lineman, they

look at the quarterback his action. Some quarterbacks cannot look the same when they hand it off versus when they pull it out the past, basically tipping their pitches if you will, like you know, that's that's where you you gotta you know, you gotta study and what we call some some coaches, some teams, some quarterbacks have what just like baseball, what do they call it? A tell? There's a tell in other words, there's a clue to give you an idea of what it's gonna be or not

gonna be. That's got to be cleaned up though, But right now they have some issues to work on the secondary. You know, you got some guys playing it. You know, probably did an envision having to play with it when the season. No, because one of those guys is now in Carolina and we can go through that all day. But yeah, I mean where Lawson wasn't on the team. He's only been on for a few weeks. But it was his first career interception. It's his eighth year. Almost

gratulations to him on the interception, but that was a gift. Yeah, that was another moment. But that where two of throws the ball and you go, what the world was that? What did Joe Collins say today when he threw it, He's like, I got I hope we catch that, Please catch it. There was dolphin fans on that play. And then the play where two it doesn't run it. Yeah,

that we're screaming some expletives. I guarantee that Josh Allen last week two weeks ago now had seven tackles, had a half sack, two quarterback hits, had a past defense. This week in London, he had seven more tackles, a quarterback hit, a pass defense. But he was in on that big fourth down in one stop in the fourth quarter to set up the Jaguars final drive to ultimately

get the game winning field goal. He cut inside inside that well, I guess that was the tight end that was blocking him and got in there and made the first hit behind the line. Yeah, because you don't have the slider play, the London slider play, if you don't have Josh making a play on that on that fourth down and Smoot and and Damian Wilson, I mean all those guys combined, but I mean, you gotta have a

group effort. And it really started with the penetrator by Josh Allen into the backfield and he beat the block of the tight end. I got his name here smythe and uh, excellent play by him, and I thought he played really well overall. I wish he would have gotten that sack on Miami's first drive where he had to and and and that's you know, you gotta make that play. If you're gonna be a big time player, you make that play because that takes the Miami Dolphin and out

of that drive completely. And he wasn't able to make it, but I thought he was. He was. I thought Smooth played well, and I thought Josh Allen played well, and Smooth is I think the one thing about I always appreciate about Smoot is that he's so consistent with his effort and his performance weekend and week out. Is he a great player? No? Is he a good player? Yes? Plays hard, Yes, every week gives you everything he got. Absolutely, he checked a lot of great boxes that you want

to have. And you just gotta find some other dogs. I mean, some guys that can they can get out of their quarterback, and right now they don't have enough of them. Well, and you know, next two weeks from now, the Seattle Seahawks most likely will be without Russell Wilson and the Buffalo Bills come to town. So there's the schedule coming up. They've got some offenses they're going to face that have some pieces, some weapons that they better get some guys healthy and get back at Miles Jack

back Tyson camp will get him out another week. This this is this is um I'm gonna say this, and I hope people don't get upset. I mean this season is is Are you gonna be able to fix all that this year? I mean, JP, I mean, even if you get all those things back, what you're talking about a couple I mean, it doesn't change it that much. I mean, look, you want everybody to continue to get better. Don't get me wrong, but this is a thing that

it will take an off season to address. Whether you address it in free agency or you address it through the draft, it's gonna take. This takes time. But this year, in my opinion, it's not about wins and losses. I mean, this season is about the quarterback and his development. So as much as I want to see this team win at the end of the year, this is about how far did the quarterback go as far as his advancement in the national you know, at this level in the league.

Because as long as he continues on that jectory and this franchise is gonna be totally fine for many years and and they can address everything else kind of as as it kind of rolls along. But if if you don't have an answer to that first question, and that's the quarterback. You've got no chance. And right now I can tell you that that game just I don't want to say it's cemented, but it just gave you further evidence that this guy is the real deal and he

is something special. I mean something special. When we come back, we will get into the kickers. Well, kicker now there's only one on the roster after today's transaction. The Official Jaguars Podcast network is rolling along. Of course, it's the free subscription on Apple, iTunes or Spotify. Give us that five star rating. As always, it's Jaguars Happy Hour on

the Jaguars Hard Rock Sports Book Digital Network. Jaguars Happy Hours brought to you by t I A a bank turned potential into progress, and by publics where shopping is a pleasure. Jaguars Game Day broadcasts are presented by Vice, Star Credit Union and welcome back to Jaguars Happy Our j P. Shadrick, Jeff Logerman. We'll get the kicking game coming up. But just a few moments ago, Adam Schefter of ESPN putting out a tweet, this was let's see not even ten minutes ago. Now says this file this

under Dad of the Year nominee. Jaguars starting defensive lineman Dwan Smooth unexpectedly delivered his newborn daughter, a Lonnie Moon Smooth this morning at four am at their home in Jacksonville and then puts a photo with more details to it. Uh. They were heading out the door to the hospital, she fell to her knees and he had to catch his wife and then deliver the baby in his living room. The pair of medics talked him through trying the umbilical

cord over the phone. All three are doing well. Mother, daughter and Dwan. Of course he might have a heart attack, but other than that he's doing fine. And uh, the full team was informed about all of it today during the meeting. But congratulations to Dwan Smoot and family and way to go. Did it all off the house and way to go? Man, Yeah, he's coachable, I can say so about that. What a day. What a bye week

ahead to two weeks. Two players that have newborns that you know, um looking at Mary Cook had their baby last week. That's an incredible story though. That is cool. Man. Yes, Joe Fortunado has a menut. What about mom with no chemical enhancement? Probably right. Yeah, yeah, there you go. I mean that's uh yeah, can you imagine. Um, come on, let's go to the hospital down and oh, better make

a phone call real quick. But congratulations to the Smoot family. Um, let's move along to and on top of that, JP, he just got back from London. Yeah I know about the timing of that. Yeah, that's pretty incredible. Yeah right, glad they flew quickly getting back home. Uh kicking game Matthew Wright. This guy a month ago was a software engineer and literally literally was in the high school still Lockheed Martin. He was where he got a job right

after college. They gave him a job. They said, hey, we want to you know, see, you still have your goal of being an NFL kicker, but you have basically a cubicle for lack of a better term, here when you want it. So he's been working on and off. He kicked for the Steelers last year and then I was drafted in the XFL before that didn't work out whatever, so h here he comes again and all of a sudden,

a month to go, he's working for Lockheed Martin. Now he's kicking field goals, and not just field goals, I mean bombs fifty four and fifty three yards. I would say that's probably the edge of his range, let's say it nicely that way. But they went in. They were spectacular kicks, and now Matthew Wright is the kicker. Josh Lambeau released today after a number of years with the team, Thank goodness. The first kick in the game was a forty yard or early you know, just kind of get

get that first one out of the way. You're you're not worrying about, Okay, you know, can we make a kick this year? Because uh, what is it, like, the only team in the Super Bowl air it ever go that many games without having made a field goal kicker or something like that since I mean even earlier than that, since the nineteen sixty two I think, yeah, that's that's crazy. Yeah. And so it was good that early in the game on the first drive that you had, I'm manageable forty

yard field goal to get the confidence up. And uh, but kudos to him because we didn't think we're in the broadcast, we're sitting there thinking that his range is fifty two because the previous week he bounces went off the crossbar like you know, two and then all of a sudden, he's lining up for a fifty four to tie it, and you're going, I don't know about that, and then he hit it. It was like, oh see we were right. Oh no, wait a minute, it's coming

back left. It's good, unbelievable. You know they have the old bend it like Beckham thing, Well, bend it like Matthew Wright. He bent that thing like nobody's business. I mean that was I mean, I don't know how many I would love it. I don't you know how they do these sports science things. Heck did that happen? Right? I would like to know literally the amount of feet outside the pipe or outside the hash, because the pipe

runs right at the outside of the hash. I mean, it's got a it's gotta be two yards outside the I think it's I think it's at least six ft. I think it's at least that. But I mean, you know how they do that, yeah on ESPN and all that stuff, And how the way it was knuckling it just kind of went back and curved left. And here's another thing. We do his wind to the stadium and I'd love to know this. Maybe we can get Josh Scoby or somebody in here. That could that's just what

we need more Scobe. What's wrong with Scobe? Great? Great? Are you? Are you down on Scobe? Not down on Scobe at all? No, I'm kidding. I love Scobe. He's great. We've we've had a lot of Scobe. It's a good thing. Well, the reason I'm waiting, of course, yes, it doesn't sound like it sounds like you got a personal rub against Josh Scobe. Let me call Josh has a personal scrub against Scobee. I'll let him tell the story. I don't know. Well, I guess we'll just had to find that story out

later on. But I mean, I just don't understand why you guys are down on Josh. Not at all. He's a great He's one of the he's the best kickers. Jackie whats have ever had? Well you can say that Josh Lambo was no, why not? Scobe was longer? Did

it for a longer period? But accuracy wise, okay, sure, right, But anyway, I would love to to talk to a kicker because like when you throw a baseball, the spin of the ball creates the movement, right it seems, yes, oh, the seems in the spine the spin and the scenes. If you if you had a ball JP that didn't have seems it can still you can still throw a curveball,

Trust me. I throw a wicked curve with them little plastic balls that you have the plastic bats with that's a whiffleball and bat and they have holes in them designed to curve. No no, no, no no no. The ones that I throw, they don't have the it's not a whiffleball. Okay, it's okays. Different physics. Just saying is that how do you get a football that is oblong and when you're kicking at its end over end? How

do you get the spin to make that thing? Because when he when it leaves his leg, it goes left and then it goes right outside and then it comes back in. It literally went like that. How do you do that? How does that happen? We get Stephen Hawking on the phone or something. I have no idea who to call. I would love esperiously. I would love to know the physics and how do you do that? He's, uh, yeah, can we get on the phone. I don't care if JP doesn't like him. I'd like to get Scobie on

the phone. We might have to do that at some point. Let's come back though in a moment. We'll get to the Baptist Health injury report, which is, you know, we got some time to work on some guys this week. Get him back, get them healthy. I'm not working on him, but we as an organization is what I mean? The sports?

What is it called performance? I just wanted to make sure there's a new term now, rejuve I heard I heard urban use that, you know, or gonna get some guys in and the rejew and yeah, and then get him going. I like that. It makes sense. This is a good week for that back eleven games left to go. After this, we get a couple of days at the Spot and get ready to rock and roll for the rest of the years.

It's the official truck of the NFL and proud partner of your Jacksonville Jaguars. This is Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Hard Rock Sports Book Digital Network. Welcome back, It's Jaguars Happy Hour on this Tuesday afternoon. J P. Shadrick, Jeff Lagerman, Go Fortunato on the audio today, Brent Reverer

on the video side. Glad you're along with us. We're recapping the Jaguars win over the Miami Dolphins twenty three twenty the final score. Well, in the last segment, we we're talking kicking and the field goals from Matthew Wright and the bending field goal fifty four yarder and how in the world could that happen? Well, you said, hey, maybe let's call Josh Scoby. Well, Josh Scoby was listening and he called us. Josh Scoby is on the line with us now, one of the great and Jaguar's history.

Good afternoon to you, Josh. What's up, fellas? How are you doing well? Thanks for calling in? Doing great? I appreciate you calling in. I mean, I you know, I'm very surprised that JP said that he would rather you not call in, and I just said, we've had a lot of Scoby over the year. Scoby, what is going on between you and JP? What? Why is he so down on you? I guess the one season that JP and I did the show together, that was a little bit too much Scoby for him. So I understand it's

a full glass, a full glass, let scow. It's so kay man, we're glad to have you. Thank you for a coming on. So let's start with you're watching the game. I'm sure right, you're you're up in the morning watching the game, and all of a sudden, Matthew Wright comes in. A month ago, he's a software analysts. Now he's kicking

game winners in London. That's wild. Yeah, I mean, obviously it's impressive to come in, uh, you know, especially given the fact that he and Lambeau were competing that week and then it, you know, three really good field goals and especially the last two. I mean it's impressive for someone that doesn't have very many kicks in the NFL under their resume. Alright, So I gotta know, like when you when you watch baseball, we're talking about this, I'm

sure you heard it. When you you know, throw a curveball and slider and sinker and you know you got the As JP said, the seems to help the ball spin. When you kick a football, it's oblong so there's really no spin. So why does the ball move left or right? How in the world did that ball leave his leg, go a little left way out to the right and then come back in inside the pipe. Yeah, I mean, typically whatever it does, start out to the left like that and then go to the right and come back.

It's because you've kind of mishit the ball a bit. And typically whenever I did it, I was impacting the ball like more towards my heel, So if you catch it anywhere near your heel, it's gonna put like a funky little spin on it. But yes, it is possible to curve the ball, and most right footing kickers are gonna have some type of right to left curve to it, and that I did notice that about Matthew right even the ard game winner had you know, a little bit of curve to it, maybe four or five ft or so.

But that's pretty typical. Uh, most of the time you're gonna get someone left footed, they're gonna be left to right right footed. It's right to left. So I mean that wasn't so prising for me to see the last one, but the yard or definitely had a lot more action on it than uh than so is does it do that?

Because where you make contact on the ball, even the ball, though the ball is spinning end over end, that the ball is also spinning on its axis correct, So if if you mishit it, the ball is gonna redirect one direction. However you hit it, and you're as a kicker, you're coming in from the inside because you're going in on a degree angle, You're impacting the ball on the inside, so it has to have some type of curve to it unless you your your foot has opened up right

when you impact the ball. And there's only a handful of kickers that I've ever seen that hit a dead straight ball every time, and that's pretty rare. Have you ever seen a kicker right footed be able to curve the ball from left to right? Only one person in the history of me watching any kicker kick have I

seen one person do that? And that's Justin Tucker, really and it blew my mind the first time I saw it, so I kind of paid attention, and every time I've watched him on TV now I'll see that it will start out to the left a little bit and just kind of fade over to the right, and that means that he's probably impacting the ball more towards his heel

than you would towards your toe. Outstanding stuff, Josh Scoby with us on the phone, live radio and its best today here on Jaguars Happy Hour, JP, Shadrick, Jeff Flagman in the former Jaguars Kicker, speaking of fades and draws. Um, I read the other day you you had an albatross at Sawgrass? Is that accurate? I did? Uh? It was? What is that? I'm a two on a part five two? So I made my second shot on the night poll. There's two four yards out. There's a a charity golf

tournament Monday. So that was the first one in my golfing career and it was. It was a pretty good time and we only one by one shot, so apparently we needed that. You'll take it, that's for sure. When was the last time you kicked a football? Josh? A few weeks ago I kicked with Lauren Brooks from tintinn XEL doing the show that she does. We went out to Hurt High School at Bishop Kinney and I kicked two balls and I was sore for two days after.

It's not like riding the bikes then apparently. Okay, well, hey, thanks for the insight, man. It's great to talk. I've always wondered at about, you know, because you see the action like like tennis players and when they hit the ball and baseball pitchers and by the way, the whiffle ball that I'm talking about. Have you if you guys ever seen this thing. It's called blitz ball. Okay, see Josh knows. Thank you, Josh. I appreciate that because JP

don you've never played blitz ball. Whiffleball. You could throw some junk with the with with the blitz ball. Now, that's great blogs. Thank you for that. We uh, we appreciate it us great to talk to you, man, and thanks for the time today of the insight. Justcobe out of here calling us. Yeah, that's pretty cool that the only kicker he's ever seen that can kick it right footed and actually have it go left to rights. Justin Tucker,

it's pretty good. I never thought about the fade or the draw, whatever you want to call it, and I never I've never thought to look to see if a right footed kicker could fade it. That's pretty specialized now, I mean, you got it. Depending on the conditions and all that going on with it too. So there's there's a lot of I can see right now that we need to get. So think about what he just said. He miss hit it a little bit. Yeah, that's why it double corrected back and he's still got it fifty

four yard. I got a fifty five to get it over fifty four. Well, I think when miss hit, I think would probably be a lot of different things. You know, did you hit it maybe too much into the middle of the ball, a different part of your foot. I mean, there's probably a lot of different ways you miss hit it. Joe Fortunato, Hello, I really should have asked Josh this. But is the phrase double eagle gone? Does nobody use that? Like it's there? But the albatross is kind of the

new term for that. Yeah, that's pretty good. It's nine on the ninth hole. That means he's playing way too much golf. Well, that's a good thing, you know, that's what he does. Great to have, Josh Gobe. We need to get a blitz ball, a little tournament with all of us one day, you know what. That's a great idea, and it's a good week for it by week, but it is dear season, so you might be veterans. Choose v A for the benefits you've earned. Visit choose dot v A dot God. Let's getting out of the bad.

Just health Injury Report, changing healthcare for Good, and take a look at just some of the names urban Meyer talked about earlier this week, Ben Bartsch with a concussion, Tyson Campbell with a toe issue, Miles Jack with a back injury. He expects those three to be back and

available next week when practice begins. He said that on Monday, there are officially six players on injured reserve right now for the Jaguars, of course, d J. Chark with a fractured leg, deep Brandon Lender with a knee and ankle issue, A J. Can with a knee issue, James of Shaughnessy still on their traves. E. T. N of course, and Terry Godwin. But um, you know, we'll see what what happens with the first three of that list. Shark, Lender Can, especially over the weeks ahead. Uh Truck might be a

little bit Lender. You just don't know. So UM, there you have it. That's the Baptist Health Injury Report, Changing health Care for Good. It would be nice to get uh you know, I will say, look that I think this team has been pretty fortunate overall. I mean, if you look at the guys that are on that injury report, what's the if you could have one guy back? Can we put that list back up again? If you could have one guy back out of all of that list on the injured reserve stuff on the reserve, Okay, I

would take who take? I would take either. I mean, honestly, I'd take either Chark or e t N. Playmaker speed guy I would take. I mean, you wouldn't take Lender you got shot, Lee played well, Okay, it's an interesting question, but I mean as far as explosive playmakers, I'm taking e t N. Yeah. That yeah, that's what I was saying. We haven't seen e t N, but that was the idea.

He was going to be that guy for me. I mean, the top three guys I think would be Lender, Chart and e t N. And you sit there and you go to give a young quarterback easy completions and a guy that literally can be a home run threat every time he touches the ball. Travis Eton would be one of those guys, and then you say, well, you know what to make the young quarterback comfortable. I want to have my veteran center. And then you say, okay, well I want to see a vertical element to this offense

because we haven't seen a lot of that. Maybe it would be d J. H. Harton, but uh yeah, I would probably take E. T. N. Let's take a look at the a f C South standings. As you might expect, well, the Tennessee has kind of pulled away. They got a big win last night. Of course, they are ahead of Indianapolis. Tennessee now four and two Indy two and four, Houston one and five Jaguars one in five Houston as the tiebreaker with the win over the Jaguars back in week

number one. The results of Week six in the a f C South, of course, you know, the Jaguars got their first victory and snapped a twenty game losing skid with a win over the Miami Dolphins. The Colts blasted the Texans thirty one to three. Jonathan Taylor had a big day forty five yards, a lot of that on a big run, two touchdown carries in the game when Darius Leonard wasn't very active on the defensive side, the linebacker seven tackles, a quarterback, hit, an interception, and a

force bumble. That's a good day at the office. And then he is a very good player at linebacker there at Indy. And then last night a fantastic football game the Titans and the Bills. Tennessee wins at one. The Bills try to sneak it on fourth down, but Josh Allen slipped and fell down short and the game was over.

Derrick Henry did not slip much in the game. Hundred forty three yards, including a seventy six yard touchdown, and two other scores in the game for Henry, the league's leading rushers, so the Titans are in command of the South. Rick Henry is awesome. I mean literally, Uh you know when they say when Tara Lownes had that statement years ago, he said, get your popcorn ready? Okay, yeah, I mean that's that's a guy that's worth the price of admission

to watch. And there's not many running backs in the league that I would say that about. I mean, really I wouldn't, but I think he is absolutely worth the cost of a ticket to watch him. That's how good he is. You know, It's it's a quarterback league now, and I get that. I mean, here's a guy that's carrying a team on his back and in a quarterback league. If they keep winning games, he's got to be in

the m v P conversation. Oh yes, absolutely, you know, I mean absolutely what he's doing in the numbers he's putting up. If if he ends up surpassing, which he's well on his way to do it, if he stays healthy and he and he surpasses two thousand yards rushing, he will be the only player in NFL history to surpass two thousand yards rushing and back to back seasons.

Think about that for a minute. Some of the greatness that we've seen in the NFL's history with Walter Payton and and and Emmett and Dickerson, I mean, all these greats, and here's a guy it's just in a in a game that has changed to be more has seen oriented. He's ripping it. It's just it's impressive to watch. And I and I here here's the other thing. Everything we've heard about Derrick Henry, and first of all, he's you know,

from just up the road. We've heard and we we always talked to different people, you know, we talked to the folks in Tennessee and different people in Tennessee and different people that work with the organization, and they have said nothing but great things about them. And that's a that's a real that's a real positive. And and you hear the same kind of things about James Robinson as

far as the quality of person that he is. And you've got to have that quality to have a chance at being being a great running back or a great player period. So it's just I'm not trying to draw comparison between James Robinson Derrick Henry. I mean, this is this is I think in two different stratospheres. Derek is in his own in his own world. Yeah, he could score from anywhere on the field. He could probably he could probably even hit my curve blizz ball. I don't

know if he can do that. Who can do that? Let's get serious, he was really going to do that. I don't even couldn't touch it. I got I got a bad should one day, you know. Yet now the excuses start to come out, that's just fine. Uh, We're gonna be back in just a minute. On the Jaguars Radio network, head coach Urban Meyer joins us on the Urban Meyers show will get his thoughts about the last Sunday's game, the Jaguars first win, they hadn't won in a long long time, and it was Urban meyers first

win as an NFL head coach. We'll get his thoughts on the field, goals, his thoughts when the balls were in the air for Matthew Right and weaving and ducking and diving and all that that happened, all the close calls and everything in that game in London. In last week's game, and looking ahead to the bye week as well, we'll talk a lot of offense, Trevor Lawrence's development, what the defense has done and could do better in parts,

and what the bye week has in store. The Jaguars are in the building today and expected to be in tomorrow as well. That's all coming up. The Urban Meyers Show is Next Star. Thanks to Josh Scobee, Joe Fortunado, Brent Reaber for Jeff Lagerman. I'm J. P. Shadrick. This is Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Hard Rock Sports Book Digital Network.
