Speaker 1

Yeah, that's not a bad No. Deep deep so you gotta use the term that seems to be popular nowadays about when you're doing some uh research, etcetera. I'll say this, I did a deep dive into the couch and watched some lot of college football on Saturday and a decent amount of NFL Sunday, but not all. I watched a little bit on Sunday night, and then I watched the first half with my game board in front of me, et cetera, because obviously the Jaguars getting ready to play

the Seattle Seahawks. And so I was able to watch that game with my little cheat sheet in front of me and to just kind of make some notes. And and now I've got the game right here beside me watching it again, so you can rewatch and do the the deep understanding or the research you know on on the intricaceives of the Seattle Seahawks. So it's all good. It's going to be an interesting week going out to Seattle, always is. The Jaguars historically have not fared well out

on the West Coast. We know the numbers, they're they're they're not great at all. As the West Coast teams typically don't perform well on the East Coast. I mean, I think that's kind of it works both ways. And I will say JP that the the Microsoft surfaces of today might be the greatest invention ever for deer home. Is this an ad No? Seriously. The reason I say that is because you can take this thing to a deer stand and you're gonna be watching game film at

the same time while you're hunting. Isn't that amazing? Technology is grand? I'll say that that's pretty incredible. You can, you know, take your eyes off of, you know, the Seahawks offense and look up and there's Bambi walking right in front of the stand. That's really not good for Bamby, but good for you. It's actually good for Bambi because

it's a distraction, so keep away from it. So looking forward to that game, you know, it's a apparently the I've never been to Seattle, never been to the stadium. The scenes incredible to Seattle. It's uh, I will say, it's a really cool stadium. Seattle, the city itself, I think is uh. Can be good, it can be bad. I know that there's some positive and some negatives, which I don't really want to go into. But the stadium

itself is beautiful downtown. The noise level of what is it called now, lumin Field lumin Field, Uh, I don't remember exactly. There's been so many different names. I guess everything. Yeah, everything kind of has a lot of names when it comes to stadiums. But they built this in mind, with the the decibels and everything in mind. It is it is a cool stadium, and it is incredibly loud. I mean,

their fan base is uh is. You know, for years the loudest outdoor place to play in was always the Buffalo Bills, and that's you know, kind of going back to when they were in their heyday with Marv Levy and Jim Kelly and Bruce Smith and I was actually a player back down. I mean, that place was incredibly loud.

And then you go and you go to a game in Seattle when Seattle got good and now with Pete Carroll and there historically good, it seems like that place rivals Buffalo in their heyday and maybe even surpasses it. I mean, that's a that's a strong, strong UH fan base that is in Seattle, and they're passionate, incredibly passionate, plenty more on that game coming up a little later. In Jaguar's Happy Hour today, let's hear from head coach

Urban Meyer. He spoke with the media on Monday and a press conference, and you know what, no more excuses moving ahead for the offense or for the young quarterback. And that's another reason why I signed a guy like Marvin Jones and some older players. You know, I felt good about our offense line because you had a couple

of veterans in there that I would learn from. But just see how when you start saying how many reps in practice you get compared to the college life, and yet you still have these unforced errors that we're making. So I feel good about the second run. We're gonna go on here about just the efficiency. And now we've been in assist them for a while. Now, you know, the excuse of a new system, the excuse of a young quarterback, that's all gone because the young quarterbacks playing

pretty good. Yes, he is, Urban in fact, playing that better over the last few weeks. The numbers have gone up, the rating has gone up, everything's improving for him. The offense as the weeks have gone along, has felt better also, and the new is gone here they are. It's it's a third of the way through the season logs, there's no more new well just I mean, just a couple of little stats to kind of back up what you're saying and what Urban talked about. Last week, they had

like almost four hundred yards of offense. I mean, that's pretty good. That's tremendous. And Trevor's numbers from the first three weeks of the season compared to the next block of three games, so weeks one to three and then weeks four to six. If you do a look at those numbers, the touchdown interception ratio obviously is a big difference. In the first three games, he ended up having five

touchdown passes seven an interception. The last three games he only has two touchdown passes but only one interception, so he's kind of flipped the touchdown the interception ratio in the first three weeks. Of the second three weeks, the completion percentage has jumped twelve percentage points the first three weeks to the second weeks. Okay, weeks one, four six, and then the the yards per attempt went up two and a half yards about and then the rating went

up thirty three and a half points. I mean that that that's significant improvement, and that I mean that's tangible because I think for many weeks a lot of people

were saying, you know, he just feels like he's playing better, etcetera. Well, that's the numbers don't black, and the numbers are significant, and he's coming off of what was a tremendous game as rating this past game in London, which will by the way, he was the first rookie to ever win in London nineteen yards passing it was twenty five or forty one, but there was probably about three drops and two balls that the receivers should have worked back to him,

so he should have been thirty plus forty one for three hundred and seventy yards. But he's still had a rating of ninety three point four. I mean, that's that's really good, really good. So all right, we'll I don't want to take anything away from Trevor's performance personally. How

much of it is Trevor making proper decisions. How much of it is the offense as it's been called the last few weeks, to maybe help him out, get him a little more comfortable, run the ball a little bit more with Robinson and key moments or run the ball later in the game. Is there is it a balance there of those two things. Well, I think yeah, I think it's a balance. I think the execution has to be better. And then I think also the coaching gets better.

They get more comfortable with with calling plays that I think fit him. And you know, in the first couple of weeks of the season, they weren't really running a whole lot of that read option type look stuff that at all exactly, and they increase some of that and that you could see kind of helped some of the

productivity with Trevor. But they're doing it without having him run the ball a ton in the especially in this past game in London, which is good because you don't want to over expose him to the run, you know. And lookay, he ran the ball a ton at Clemson, but you can't have him doing that at the pro level. He won't last long. C RG three. By the way, if you're looking for evidence of that, Okay, he got

hurt against the j Jackson's of the world. I mean, there's not many that are like Lamar Jackson him, you know, so, and Trevor is not Lamar Jackson nor will he ever be. He's athletic and he's a capable runner, but he's not a Michael Vick slash Lamar Jackson. So let's you know, he's now, he's what he is. This is perfect and and I give them, I give the coaching staff credit seriously on this, okay, because they have showed an incredible

amount of restraint, because here's the reality. If you're a coaching staff and you're getting criticized and you're not winning games, what's the urge? What's the natural urge? Okay, let's run the quarterback song. It will make us better. Okay, But they've resisted that urge. And a lot of people say, well, they shouldn't have resisted it. No, absolutely they should. You you can't let Trevor Lawrence grow and and in a system that requires him to run. That's not what he is.

That's not that's not what you want him to be at the NFL. He needs to be an NFL quarterback. This is this is no longer college. Yeah, the running thing is a short term vision. The long term grand vision is him to stand back there and and deal the ball out to everybody else. There are guys in the NFL that will hit you to that that when you get hit, your family feel it. Your entire family will feel it. Okay, in college football, you might have a guy or two every week that might be able

to do that. But in the NFL, they are gonna make you and your family feeling And I mean there's a term and I won't use it, but it's a grown type of man. Okay, but they grown grown blank man. Okay that can hit you. Yes, okay, and you don't want Trevor getting hit like that. And but seriously, what has impressed me the most about him. I mean the numbers, yes, I mean that that is impressive. But this week, and I'm gonna show this on Jaguars All Access, is his

relationship with guys that he's worked with. You can tell it's there. Last week I showed how he had his pocket presence was just tremendous, and it really was. I

mean it was. It was so good and well on display against the Miami often because Miami brought a lot of pressure, so there was a lot of opportunity for him to operate that presence, so to speak, and he did and did it to a t. And the more he works with people weekend week out, season in season out, year in year out, like what Tom Brady has had

the benefit of doing. Any works incredibly hard in the off season, Trevor Lawrence is gonna have that type of chemistry that he has with Marvino's Jones Jr. With with a few guys and and hopefully guys that are have immensely talented guys that have vertical speed and all that kind of stuff, so that this offense continues to get better. It takes time to build that though I'm not gonna happen over now, you know, just a season or two really,

and we'll get this to at some point. But look just like the defense, and you want to see rapid improvement out of the defense and see them do better affecting the quarterback, because I mean, composing quarterbacks are are having great success against the Jaguars defense. But look, you just you you it's the run defense from last year to this year. Last year they were one of the

worst teams in the league against the run. And now if you look at like per yards or yards per russia allowed, they're one of the best teams in the league. And they're about the middle of the pack as far as overall yards Russian game per game allowed. But you can't. You can't address everything in one off season. And it takes more than one draft to get impact players. And in due time they will get that, and they're gonna have that opportunity. They obviously have to take advantage of

the opportunity logs. When we come back, we'll go to defense and see what you've found in the bye week. We can do that. I'm sure you found something in the bye week, and and I'm continuing to find stuff all the time JP. I'm doing my deep research. I like that, and we're gonna get some answers when we come back. On the defensive side of the football, we are often running on a Tuesday, it's Jaguars Happy Hour

on the Jaguars Hard Rock Sports Book Digital work. I think we went into the into the storm thinking that we're gonna be playing via very high percentage and man covered, and we we we figured out quickly that we're gonna have to mix in a lot of zone and then that's where you say, okay, the number of reps you have to get a team ready to play that zone cover. You can't say opatis Clay, but go play zone. So that bye week was good. We spent some time on that.

The combination of both, that's the biggest thing on defense and then the flat m a's. You know, there's four times we just turned a guy loose in man coverage because of bunch routes, pick routes or whatever. And when you're talking about four times that in those things that were really close. So I see these, I really like we're headed in defense, but we not need to start seeing it. That's Urban Meyer Monday and welcome back. It's Jaguar's Happy Hour. M as are missed inns by the way.

J P. Shadrick, Jeff Lagman, m A S m e's. It's it's kind of the same thing. Mental errors, mental errors, and uh, we used to have a fine pot. Really oh yeah, what was the fine like a hunter bucks? Well, we had we had actually a grand, very large fine system. And typically in the NFL, you and you'll have this, it'll be in a meeting room. You might have a defensive pot. When I say pot, you know like all where if you if you have and and here's findable offenses. Okay, um,

mental errors, right, loaves, miss tackles. Nobody likes those um late for meetings, et cetera. And so this is outside of the you know, this is not this is not like take it out of your check. No, no no, no, no, this is this is internal. This is internal. This is me, you and Joe and Reburn. We're all defensive lineman broadcasters. And let's say you loaf for a show. We could find you a hundred dollars that goes in the kid exactly, but it doesn't come out of my paycheck. I had

to put cash in, so it's after tax dollars. Cash has to be put in, so so you get there's a like for example, if you have a loaf. This is back in my day, which the fines were obviously

much cheaper than probably what they are now. But if you had like a loaf and practice, it would be let's say ten bucks, but in a game it would be it would be double, would be twenty, maybe even more so if you had an emmy mental error and practice, it would be twice as much if you had one in a game, But all of its find herble practice because that gets people to get on their p's and cues more efficient. Right, you keep throwing money out my wallet? Yeah,

I'm gonna, you know, probably pay more attention. And um, I mean even if you passed gas in a meeting, that was I mean, I hate to say that, but I mean it's Look, if you're in a room full of men and guys start stinking it up, you've got to have a way to discourage him from doing that. So you had a fine system. So you would have all this money that you would collect throughout the season. Okay, and JP, I got a feeling you would be putting a lot of money in just saying but if I

don't know what, I'll say that. But you would have all this money that goes into this pool or pot. Okay. And at the end of the year, we used to have a positional party. In other words, we would all defensive lineman. And this started when I was in New

York and we had the same thing here. But you would take all that money and we would get car services and we would go and eat some of the best fine dining and in New York City could offer, and then we would have a night out afterwards, and the coach was included, not the head coach, the positional coach, and we would have a great time. So that all so we you know, for all the guys that had blows and mental errors and all that kind of stuff,

we would be eating on their dime. So you're how are you going to equate this to the m A s that Urban was just talking. I'm saying is that if if they if they don't have the fine system pot going, they need to institute it. You know, I'm gonna find you for having too many pins on the desk. Not possible. That's called being prepared. That would actually be a credit out of the part you need have all these pins that are ready at the hand. But that

that is accountability. It can't come. And this is seriously now, accountability in the NFL. It can cut the coach can demand it and ask and all that kind of stuff. But the best kind of accountability comes from peers, from teammates. When when teammates demand more of each other, that that's when I think greatness can happen. You have to have

you now, I mean you've been in there obviously. Um, when you have players who have skins on the wall that have been at it for a long time in the NFL, that are veteran players that have played at a high level, that goes a longer way than some young new player trying to be a leader all of a sudden, right, I mean, those guys it is hard

around for a while. It's hard for me. It's it's hard for young players to be a leader because to be a leader in the in the National Football League, you have to be you have to be a good player, and you have to be a proven player. It's very difficult. That's why I think it's very unique that Trevor Lawrence, which is in it's incredible that a rookie quarterback comes in the door and gets elected as a team captain. I mean, wow, I mean that's big time now, I

mean that's really it's big time. That's almost unheard of for that to happen. So, I mean it's a credit to Trevor. But typically it takes players time to prove it, to prove that they are a good player, and Trevor proved some of that during training camp obviously, but still you need you need to be a good player to

be a leader. But I mean, really, and I'm sure that part of the research that the coaching staff did is now trying to demand as much accountability as they can to eliminate mental errors, to eliminate mistakes or penalties or things that can be controlled, because that's what costs

you opportunities to win. But when you start having a system of accountability that comes from the players, and you have great players that are demanding that accountability and you have great players that can execute, that's when you truly have the chance to be great. It's gonna be one of the bigger differences. And I'm sure we'll hear from Urban on this coming up in the Urban Meyers Show five o'clock. You know, practice scheduled times. He talked about

it a little bit on on Monday. There's not a lot of practice time in the NFL, especially during the season. I mean, like the Friday practice is a walk through basically, and then Wednesday is the big, big insta all day. But there's no room for error during practice because you have to go use the reps that are there, at least the somewhat live reps in practice. And coming from college, I mean that's a totally different realm in college. Now those guys are you have a union right in the

nactual Football league. So there are rules, and I mean the rules actually go down to the exact amount of time that you're allowed to be on a football field for practice, the number of practices that you can have in pads, the number of practices that you can have

during the week are all it's all governed. I mean there's but here, here's the thing that and a lot of people want to use that as an excuse or a reason to point to while that's why we're not we're not doing good enough, and this is why we're you know, we don't get the opportunity to get enough practice. We don't get them enough reps to be able to get guys. But no, because the rules are the same for everybody in the in the entire league. So there

are other ways that you have to creative. So the time that you have in the National Football League, the meeting time, the practice time, the on the field time, the weight room time, all of that is literally I mean, they have a clock on everything. So you have to utilize that clock to the best of your ability to maximize the benefit that you're going to get from the

amount of time that the players actually spend in the building. Now, there are also ways that outside are away from the building and off of that clock that a player can get better. That's where the Microsoft surfaces, the film study at home, those type of things that can happen, and and that's also partly player driven. I'll give you another example. Who is in your opinion? JP? This is a little trivia question and Joe is also available for this too.

Tell me the greatest, one of the greatest defensive backs to ever play for the San Francisco forty Niners. Oh, running a lot, absolutely safety, okay, without a doubt. And Ronnie was my teammate in New York. And I learned so much from Ronnie because when Ronnie came to us in New York, and this was in the era of we had Bruce cost as our head coach. Pete Carroll was our defensive coordinator, who the Jaguars will face this week, the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, and they bring

in Ronnie. And Ronnie was obviously towards the end of his career but still a phenomenal player. But Ronnie taught us what it was like to be to to do more than just what was on the clock. We didn't have any guidelines for us back then as far as the amount of time that you could spend our maximum amount of time that you could spend in the building. But Ronnie wanted guys to commit. And this is where I talked about about great players to many more of

their teammates makes a team get better. When Ronnie came in, Ronnie said, look, when we finished with practice, a lot of times you would see guys just start scatting out the building. They were gone. They would, you know, do the practice anyway. Meetings all morning, you have a pretty quick lunch, and then have practice, and then they might get a quick workout in and then out the building they go, you know, they want to get out of there.

Right's like, wait a minute, what where's our film study at. I mean, this is a great opportunity. So Ronnie would literally go and this is before teams had catered food and cafeterias and all this stuff. He went out and catered food service, bring in salt food and cater for the entire defense. So we would have a catered dinner twice a week, and I think goes on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and the food was excellent, excellent, and we would all stay and have dinner, you know, early dinner, and watch

film together. I mean that was what it was about, is about getting guys to commit, getting guys to doing the extra kind of thing. And Ronnie was a big part of that. And and uh, great player, great leader, and I learned a lot for them. Let's come back in a moment and get into a little more of the defensive talk. Urban touched on that a moment ago. We heard him talk about maybe playing a little too much man defense and maybe moving more towards zone and

sure thoughts on what that actually might look like moving ahead. Okay, if you forget to do that, I'm gonna find you. You're not gonna go indoor? Then will be even accountability? Because accountability pod, Yes it is. I like it. It's the Accountability episode of Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Hard Rock Sports Book Digital Network. Jaguars Happy Hours brought to you by t I a a bank, turn potential into progress and by public where shopping is a pleasure.

Welcome Back Walks. Happy Hour on a Tuesday after Nude the bye week is over. It's on the Seattle for the Jacksonville Jaguars, j P Shadrick, Jeff Flagaman coming up at five o'clock. It's the Urban Meyer show with Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer. We'll get his thoughts on the bye week and what they've done, what they've looked at

and moving ahead toward the Seattle Seahawks. Jaguars game day broadcasts are presented by by Start Credit Union and the Dailies Place schedule is starting to wind down now for the fall. Only two shows left on the schedule Kane Brown two nights November twelve and thirteen. These are rescheduled dates from last year, so get your tickets Dailies Place dot com. It has been a great run at Dailies

Place and and actually an all time run. And all the folks over there to do um to work in the ticketing department for Daily's Bobby and the security and the back endside Jackie over there at Daily's Place. They have been working there. You don't want to talk about working their tails off. They had. It's one week. They had like six shows in one week, night after night after night, load in, load out in the morning late. I mean, it's like busy folks going to get them

all in like a short window of time. I was asked during the commercial break, did did Ronnie Lott pay every day? Every week. That was a good point. Joe Fortunado brought this up. You know, you guys were just mooching off Ronnie Lot the whole time. We yeah, no, we uh we we shared responsibility with that. But typically I will say that put it this way, if there was a guy on the team and he was making minimum we you know, he wasn't expected by dinner. Okay.

Usually the guys that were making the big coin were the ones that would pay for something like that. Well, that's nice of you guys, way to go locks. Well, I actually I wasn't making big coins then first round pick of course. Yeah, but I mean JP I and this is kind of this is this is real, may be not in the leather helmet days. If you if you took the first round pick money of nineteen nine, seriously, and this is just for for people that had no clue.

If you take the first round pick money for a first round pick in nineteen eighty nine, you would make more money now making minimum wage your fourth first four years in the NFL than you would if you were first round pick in nine, which is tremendous. I mean it's great. It means the league has grown and they're making more money, and it's becoming has become bigger than ever.

So But you know the thing about the the fine system you know we had, We even had, for example, we would put money in a pot for let's say, hey, first guy that causes a fumble in this game, and guys would throw in some money into that, and uh remember bounty Gate. Yeah that, I mean that's kind of what we have. Fine line though, you don't want to go that well, I know, I mean we I mean we had some pots that probably would have drawn some scrutiny back in the day for maybe a guy not

finishing a game somehow or another. But you know, yeah, I mean, is this like, do we need to lay you down the couch and look at too? Two. We're digging deep here on something today. System. This might be a die, but we don't need to go so deep on. No, I'm not gonna go any deeper than that. But I mean that seriously. That and and the whole point that I bring this up is that is that when when stuff like that comes from the players, I mean, that's

that's what you want. I mean, you want guys that are motivated to perform and demanding more of their teammates and expecting more and trying you're trying to find creative ways to get guys to be motivated. I mean, that's it's it makes it fun. You know, it makes it fun because you know, give you a reason. But and here's the other thing it does. Uh. For example, when when we had Pete Carroll is already defensive coordinated, to use Pete Carroll's story, he had this thing. It was

called he always called it the beaver. You know how like the University of Miami, you got the big necklace and if you get a turnover, you wear the big necklace to turnover chain. Yes, okay, is that what it's called. With Pete when he was already defensive coordinator in New York, we had a stuffed animal that was a beaver, right, And he chose the beaver because the beaver was the hardest working animal in the animal kingdom. And he always felt that getting takeaways and this is kind of all

the record on the now, I know. But but because the beaver was the hardest working animal in the animal kingdom, getting takeaways and causing fumbles was actually because of hard work and attention. So I mean, you can't cause a fumble unless you're going for the ball. Do you see Darius Leonard Saturday Sunday night the Indianapolis. So we had a don't get a forced fumble if you don't force the fumble. So we would have pots every week for

the beaver. So whoever got the you know, the call stumble, they would not only get the pot jp but they have that thing in your locker. No it was hanging or you would wear it like like a necklace. It was it was stuffed beaver. You guys, that's that's good Motivation's kind of embarrassing grown men were having a stuffed animals for motivation to get a takeaway in a football game. But whatever work. It was just a point of emphasis with Pete. You know, hey, look, you know it's it's

the hardest working animal. We want to be the hardest working animals. We want to be the ones that are going after the ball. It's about the ball. And then we instituted a little pot system to spice it up a little bit. But I will say that it got We had a pot that kept rolling over because we had a couple of games. Because you know, every week you would put more money into it. We had a game to where the pot got very large and it was one of the worst tackling performances. Whoever, everybody was

going for the dagon ball tackle was terrible. Nobody was going for the tackle. Everybody was trying to cause a fun. Professional football is all about the money. It always is about the money. You would be surprised, Jap. You can have guys making millions of dollars and if you put the you would be surprised at what they would do

for a five cash you know. A little while back in this show, we heard from Urban Meyer and the defensive adjustments that they've seen over the bye week, looked at they're thinking about making, and he referenced the secondary and the coverage. A lot of the year earlier they thought they could be more man to man coverage. They had the personnel they thought earlier the season. That has changed a little bit since then, so maybe it's more zone or they're using both. Anyway, what was the balance

look before and what could be the field moving ahead? Well, look, when when you had the expectation of playing man, you were thinking, Okay, we've got a top ten select action from last year and C. J. Henderson and he'll be good. We've got a second round pick in Tyson Campbell will be good. And then we've spent a ton of money in free agency on Shaq Griffin. He's gonna be good. So now we've got three corners. Let's play man. Okay, great? Yeah, Uh, Well,

a couple of things happen. C J didn't play to the level that you wanted him to. It looked like he was questioning his love for football. And then he got hurt, and then he got traded. Okay, so there's one guy out out the window. Uh, Tyson Campbell struggling a little bit, okay, and also injury. So you had

those two things together. Now you have another player probably not at the level that and I believe he will get to a better level and a level that makes you very happy with him, but right now he's not there. And then Shaq Griffin is good. He's had some opportunities that he hasn't been able to take advantage of. So when you when you have a certain level of expectation, you have to have the performance that also follows that

to be able to execute man coverage. Because if you can execute man coverage, and it's this is no criticism but the reality is that you have to have great players that can play man to play man, and if you don't have great players, then you have to be better at what I call team's own defense, which means keeping your eyes back to the quarterback and you're relying on watching and reading the eyes of the quarterback and reacting to route concepts and and attaching yourself to man

coverage within his own I mean, there's a lot of ways to look at that, but that's what they have to do, and that's there's nothing wrong with that. There's many teams in the league that would like to play man, but they can't just because they don't have the personnel. And hopefully in the future they will get the personnel to where they can run more man. But let's not forget or it's not like they're going to completely stay away from man coverage. They're still gonna play both. They

have to. It's just just just changed and it's already happened. They've already started playing a lot more zone, so it's just changing the mix of man and zone, the percentages of each more zone, more eyes to the quarterback too correct and and also if you have a missed assignment or a missed coverage in zone, other people see it. So for example, if I mean you are if we can get this this two shot here both of us and the look here on TV. Okay, let's say I'm

not here. Well, JP's eyes are, then Joe's the quarterback which is behind the camera. There was a quarterback. Okay, you're gonna I if all of a sudden, I blow the coverage over here. You've seen that the quarterbacks throwing the ball over here, and you're as you're looking, you're going, oh my gosh, I gotta help because that's going to be a polation over there. Well, if it's man, you're

get where's your back to the quarterback? I'm running down field chasing my guy, You're not gonna see Joe throw the ball. So by the time you see that the ball is over here and I've blown my coverage, you don't have an opportunity to react. And so that's what zone does. It just gives you the opportunity to maybe minimize some of the damage. You're underestimating my reaction time. I must say that underestimating you're underestimating I can react.

I would be very react. I can react with a microphone. You're great, Jake coverage enough football, I couldn't do it, No, probably not, but I mean that look, that's and and there's and there's nothing wrong with this team going to more zone. But now the challenges is that, you know, you prepared all preseason to play more man. Well now you're playing more zone. So you now also kind of

have to start trying to teach or doing again. I don't want to say you're installing, because you've already had an installed, but you have to make sure that you're teaching the concepts of the zone. And and it's not as easy to do that now because you're in the regular season and you have to install game plans, and you know, it's hard to say, let's look get let's get you a bunch of reps and cover two and three and four and five. I mean, look, you don't

have the time to do all that. And I mean not that this is a huge concern, but you got defensive coordinator Joe Colin, Right, You've got three different secondary coaches as well, right, Nichols coach, corner coach, safety coach. So there's a lot of I mean, they have a large, large, very large staff. Urban here, So I mean there's plenty of people involved, plenty of I mean your teacher to student ratio, if you want to look at it from that aspect, is very good. Yeah right, we'll come back

in a moment and Andrew report. Right around the corner. We'll take a look at a SE South results, the standings and the upcoming schedules for all the a f C South teams, like as I know you'll look forward to that very much. So we'll see we'll compare schedules um coming up the next few weeks. How do we compare. We'll look at them on the screen and talk through them on the radio. We were comparing, like my schedule

to your schedule, and uh, there's no competition. This is Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Hard Rock Sports Book Digital Network. Welcome back as Jaguars Happy Hour. And if you're looking for the m v P of the truck game, then look no further than four f one fifty. Loaded with impressive capability and designed to dominate, work, play and everything in between.

A four oh five Eastern time kickoff that means we'll be on the air it let's see one o'clock where the public tailgate show this Sunday.

That means getting home very late. Were comparing schedules, you got an easy one. It must be nice as well. The NFL game. That's what we're doing in the NFL. It's all good. By the way, what are you dressing up for his Halloween? By the way, I have I have. I've been told that I have to wear a set of Mickey Mouse ears on Sunday. On Sunday, I have to wear I was told that I have to wear a set of Mickey Mouse ears as the costume for game day. What about the rest of the year, So

I will the rest of them? I mean Mickey didn't just wear mouse ears, I mean Nicky has come on. That would be something you showed a whole Seattle with a whole suit on it. Everything. I can't do that. I promised my lovely daughter that I would wear the mouse ears for the game. We'll have this photographic evidence is the only thing I can. They make that true. As long as it doesn't interfere with wearing the headset, well,

we'll work on that. We can work. We can work to see how the ears fit and headset fit, and then we'll go from there. Typing now for the Baptist Health Injury Report, Changing healthcare for good. We take a look at what Urban said last week, BArch Campbell Jack should be back to action this week. We'll hear what coach has to say coming up. And just a little

bit on the Urban Meyer Show. Injured reserve official name still shark lender can oh you want to see et N and Terry Godwin the wide receiver, but there are you know, bye week, it's week seven, going on week eight. You got some guys dinged up a little bit. Give him an extra week off and you know, maybe come back in the Seattle game with at least closer to a full assortment of of personnel than you've had in

a week or two. Yeah, and it's uh, you know, with Barts getting him back because a J is still on I R that will be big. And hopefully he gets back from the concussion protocol. I guess that's what he was in with the bye week. He should be fine, or at least you hope he's fine. Tyson coming back from the toe that I think that's gonna be interesting

because it looks like a struggle the last few weeks. Yeah, because you know, they kind of warmed him up a little bit before and I'm not sure what they didn't it was the he warmed up for the since I was at home. It was a home game. I'm trying to think of the home game Bardinals. No, No, it was it was the home game right before London, who was at against Tennessee. Tennessee the Tennessee game, he went

out there and warmed up. They're kind of checking in and he did not look anywhere near ready to go. And then I don't know how that work. Did they leave him home, did he even travel to London? I'm not sure, but he was inactive for that game, and so you gotta be careful with a toe or a foot with a guy that who makes it living running the ball are running a lot and chasing the ball,

and there's ways to do that. They actually a couple of different things that they can do to help a toe, and I don't know if it's turf toe or whatever, but to help feet and toes overall, they put metal plates in your shoe. Uh. Some if it's like a toe, they'll use like what they call a half a plate, So the front half of your shoe will have like a little metal plate under the the insole. And so what that does is it kind of restricts the amount

of bending that that's happening with the toes. And then how do you even run around like that? Though you would be I mean, it gives you it still has a little flexibility, it just doesn't make the shoe like you know, twist and flexible. And then if and in some cases guys wear what they call a full little metal plate in soul which goes all away from the toe to the heel, which it's like, like I said, it still has some flexibility, but it just stiffens up

the whole foot area. So and I'm sure that that would be a combination of that and then taping the toad to support it or whatever. I'm sure that they will try to do. But you gotta be careful of that because if you keep agitating it, then it's gonna be something that can be I don't want to say chronic to where it's an issue every week, but it could be a problem that that lasts. So you want to make sure you get kind of you want to get it behind you. Anything with your feet, you're running

around the whole game. You can't have bad feet and run around. No, I know that's a deep thought. Well it's a real deep thought, but no, no, but you're right. I mean, look, there's a lot of things that you would rather hurt as a football player then other than something on your on your foot, Yeah, because seriously, you don't. You can't do anything well, And here's the thing. If you want to rest it, what do you do? I

mean you have to walk, you have to stand. I mean so, I mean it's kind of hard for like a shoulder, Okay, I'm just gonna not do anything with my shoulder for a day or two. Okay, that's fine. We'll guess what with a foot. If you're walking, yeah, you you are putting pressure and stressing that foot, that injured area. So it's right, yeah, that I can tell you that. In and uh, in my in my career, the one of the worst ones that I ever had was it was a two of them. One was a

Liz Frank and the other one was plannar fasciitis. And I mean, it's it's like crippling, and it's incredibly hard to be able to play the game when your feet are not feeling good. That's I can tell you that, shoulders and all that other stuff. I can find ways to get to fight through it, but when when your dogs are barking, it's hard. Wow. Let's get to the a f C South results from this past weekend. Of course, the Jaguars were off. The Titans hammered the Chiefs, and

I mean dominated the Chiefs. Three was the final. Derrick Henry had a touchdown pass in the game. King they called the King Cat play. Who has more giveaways in the National Football League more than the Jaguars. That would be the Chiefs. That's exactly right. The Cardinals destroyed the Texans thirty one to five, and that's the first time that score has ever been scored in the NFL in any game Cardinals out gave them three seven and one sixty. Texans are a mess and shame you lost to them

in Week one. It is Colts over the forty nine thirty to eighteen. Taylor had a big day rushing over a hundred yards a touchdown, Pittman receiving over a hundred and a touchdown. Well, and Carson Wentz is playing better, and that's that's probably the big story there. I mean, Carson Wentz was uh, first of all, it gets traded out of Philadelphia after giving a long term contract. Many people thought that this was the next great quarterback in the league. Now he was a legitimate m VP it

a few years ago. It was good, and then he got hurt and then uh didn't play in the Super Bowl, and of course Nick Foles wins the Super Bowl, and then it was kind of all downhill from that point for Carson Wentz. And so he goes to Indianapolis with Frank Wright to resurrect his career and he gets hurt there and can he play well? He does, and and he actually looked better on Sunday night. I don't want

to say looked great, but he looked better. So all right, Kenny Kenny resurrective, trying get back to where he was at. I don't know if he can or not, but he's he's playing better than he did in Philadelphia. Let's take a look down at the se South standings after all of that action in week number seven, and of course it's Tennessee's division right now. There five and two, two

and oh in the division, indeed three and four. Jacksonville now out of the Cellar logs their third place one in five, a half game better now than Houston at one and six. Well that's just because they but hey, don't don't just just just look, just enjoy It's okay, not that it doesn't matter how now. You just gotta

stay there and keep moving up. You hope, you hope, But uh, I'm so sorry to be Debbie Downer about was just pointing that there are six games played by this team and everybody else in the division has played seven. Because there are some people probably going, how in the world can the Jaguars be third in the division when they don't have a division win and the Texans do. Let's they have one extra loss in the Jags. That's that's that's the reason why. Because you're just throwing dirt

on top of the Jags logs. What it sounds like to me. I don't do that to my team. Let's take a look at the realist upcoming schedules in the a f C South the next five weeks or so. Let's see, we got a couple of games against the Rams, Buffaloes in there, a couple of times against teams. The Jaguars are at Seattle, Buffalo at home at Andy Well in San Francisco, in Atlanta. Real quick focus on the Jaguars schedule. Okay, Seattle has a quarterback situation that's not good.

They're not playing good football on offense. That's a that's a totally winnable game. Buffalo is very good though, and then at their place will be tough. Indianapolis is playing good football. San Francisco there's some question marks in San Francisco now. And the Atlanta Falcons are. They got a great tight end by the way, who was amazing, fantastic Kyle Pitts. But overall as a team they're not great. But that tight end is really good. Yes, he is

really good one. And he's wearing a number eight mm and he looks like a wide receiver. Well, he guess Kyle Pitts is. He's there's a reason why he's the highest draft to tight end ever. And uh he's fun to watch. I can tell you that will be a great challenge to cover him, and it's interesting to see how people will treat him. How do you how do you cover them? Do you cover them with a linebacker? You can unless you got a linebacker that can run legitimate four four four five. I want to put a

couple of guys on him. Okay, so what do you put a defensive back on him? I mean said, that's gonna be a challenge for any team it faces. The Atlanta Falcons, the UH Texans, Uh not a good football team. It doesn't really matter who's on their schedule. They're gonna struggle with anybody. The Colts a good football team and they're gonna have that's a great division matchup coming up this weekend. Tennessee at Indianapolis. That's a very good game. Uh. The Jets, uh not great. And then they got the

Jaguars Indianapolis Buffalo, Tampa Bay. That's a loss right there. And Tennessee has the New England Patriots Houston. Those are two winnable games, young quarterback situations, Saints, Rams and the Colts, so it's'd be pretty good. We'll see what happens. We shall see, but this week is a a winnable game in Seattle. I like that. We'll come back in a moment and see what the head coach thinks about it. Head coach Irman Meyer coming up next, the Rban Meyers Show.

Right around the corner of this has been Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Hard Rock Sports Book Digital Network.
