Shad Rick. 0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:23.439 That's all I have left. Welcome it. It's Jaguars Happy Hour. 0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:29.639 It's Tuesday. It's November nine. This Joe said, my name's J. P. Shadrick. 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:32.360 We've got a busy show, busy couple hours in fact 0:00:32.360 --> 0:00:35.280 for you here on Jaguars Radio. Jaguars analyst Jeff Laghman 0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:38.640 coming up shortly. We'll recap week number nine, the Jaguars 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:43.080 over the Bills nine to six. Defensive gem for the 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:45.880 Jags this past Sunday, and then we'll look ahead of 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:49.400 week ten. They'll need another one against the Indianapolis Colts, 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:51.919 so you can run the daylights out of it up 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:54.760 in Lucas Oil Stadium. That's in week ten. Head Joe 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:57.400 gurban Meyer joins us on the urban Meyer Show. That's 0:00:57.400 --> 0:01:00.639 at five o'clock on the Jaguars Radio at work. Now, 0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.240 of course, the Jaguars get the win nine to six 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:08.080 over the Bills. Defense dominated the day, dominated the top 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:12.479 scoring offense in football, held them to just over three 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:17.280 hundred yards of offense this past week took the ball 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:21.360 away from them three times with a couple of interceptions 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:24.840 and a fumble recovery. The offense struggled in that game 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:28.160 against the Buffalo Bills, though they dropped some opportunities. One 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:30.240 of those in the end zone Luke Farrell had another 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:34.120 one just did enough to get into field goal range 0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.680 three different actually four different times. They missed a field 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:39.160 goal in a sequence. We'll talk about that later, but 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:41.920 they made three field goals. They did just enough to 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.400 get the win. The defense was key. Urban Meyer Monday though, 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:49.760 met the media and yes, he loves the locker room. 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:51.680 And that's a team that I made a comment in 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:54.720 the Prescott fight for this locker room against anybody anywhere. 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:56.800 I mean, these are good guys that are fighting for 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:59.800 each other. You know, you saw it might be fun 0:01:59.800 --> 0:02:02.560 to watch. But Dan Arnold made that great catch on 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:07.080 the sideline and it's smooth. Josh Allen uh and a 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:10.799 handful grabbing him and picking them up, and and that 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:15.160 was I love being around these guys. Jeff Lockerman Joys 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.040 us now Jaguars analysts. Yeah, I loves that locker room. 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.560 It's a good group. Saw some video after the game 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:22.880 of you know, guys coming in off the field, picking 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.080 up urban in fact, in the hallway right outside the 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:28.720 locker room, and everybody's excited after a winning result. That's 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:32.160 what winning does, right. Uh. You love the locker room 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:33.840 when you win, you hate it when you lose. And 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:36.880 that's just kind of how it goes. But I thought 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:39.880 that was a fantastic win. It was a game that 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.480 nobody gave him a chance, including me, and it was 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:46.320 a game that there was major concern that this team 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.079 could get run out by halftime. I mean, that's that's 0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:52.799 how many people thought it would go. And for them 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:56.960 to play and outperform the NFL's top defense the way 0:02:57.000 --> 0:03:00.359 that they did to hold a Buffalo Bills all fence 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:04.680 to season lows essentially in every important category, which is points, 0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:08.240 yards and also the opposing quarterback rating, which has been 0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:12.760 an area of concern, major concern for the Jaguars. That 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.640 was outstanding, especially with the week prior. G you know, 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.920 Smith starts fourteen out of fourteen and had his highest 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:22.680 career completion percentage. That stood back there all day. They 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.079 didn't let Josh Allen stand back there all day. They 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.480 have dialed up some pressure on him. I think I 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:32.320 think the result of Seattle, I think motivated this football team. 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.920 I mean, how could it not when when Myles Jack 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:38.280 is up the podium in Seattle and says that this 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:42.880 was embarrassing, humiliating, whatever term was that he used, I mean, 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:46.400 that was that was from the heart. And so when 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:48.480 you have something like that happened, I think you take 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:50.640 a good, good, hard look at what you're doing and 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:52.200 make sure that you can kind of clean it up. 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:55.960 But yeah, I thought it was great. I mean, it's uh. 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:57.560 And the best thing was that you know, when the 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.280 game is starting, you know, they were getting ready to start, 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:01.720 You're looking around in the stadium and all of a 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:05.200 sudden you're seeing the bright blue and red. I mean 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.640 there was a lot of Buffalo Bills fans and it's typical. 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.800 I mean, Bills fans will travel and and credit to them. 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.320 The Bills mafia is awesome. And they were in the 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:18.840 stadium early because they don't know anything else to do, right, 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.800 So the Jaguar fans a little bit later, more casual 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.880 getting their seat. But when it came down to the importance, 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.960 I mean, the Jaguar fans were so much louder than 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.880 the Bills fans, and it was it was special. I mean, 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.120 it's it's been a long time since that stadium rock 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:36.200 like that now and and it was good to see 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.320 and it was good to feel. Now, I'm gonna be 0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:41.280 careful with this statement, but I know it's one game, right, 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:45.320 one defensive performance over reaction Tuesday. But it was a 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:51.640 shade of seventeen. They did that old season in seventeen, pressures, takeaways, 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.080 you know, had an attitude about them. This felt like 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:57.320 a little bit of that They've got to go prove 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.920 it again down the line. It's a step in the 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.680 right direction. That's the hard part. Is it, Okay, you 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.840 did it once and now you prove that you can 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:06.880 do it. Now you need to do it again. And 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:10.240 that's that's not easy to do. Two takeaways on the 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.200 season that we're both interceptions, and then all of a 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.440 sudden you end up a game against the number one 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.080 scoring offensive league and you get three takeaways and you 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:21.640 get your season's first force fumble, which I don't think 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:25.080 it was like an intentional Smooth didn't tackle Josh Allen 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.960 and try to rip the ball out. Just the contact 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.520 itself knocked it out. And that's what it takes sometimes 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:32.920 you really had another one too, but it was it 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.880 got got over by the Buffalo Bills. But I mean, 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.159 it was a strong performance. And there are so many 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.760 players that played well across the board. And you know, 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:42.880 Josh Allen's kind of leading the way and gets a 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:45.359 lot of the talk, but there's many other guys. I mean, heck, 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:50.120 Davin Bryant who has been widely criticized and and uh 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.440 hadn't had a very productive career, yet all of a 0:05:53.440 --> 0:05:57.480 sudden he has a two sack game and uh uh 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.200 the one sack that he had was a great ass 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.039 rush and does a nice swim move on the guard. 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.160 The other one probably not so good because he didn't 0:06:04.200 --> 0:06:06.719 go where he was supposed to go, but it worked 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:11.520 out good and and he got the sack. And so uh, 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.159 I mean when when And I thought the the the 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.760 defensive line group as a whole played really well, and 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:20.119 I kind of expected them to play well. I thought 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.960 that the quarterback play might be able to cover up 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:25.200 for it a little bit because Josh Allen has has 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:28.920 got the mobility factor. But the Buffalo Bills offensive line 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.799 was a little bit and and kind of flux because 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:35.480 they were missing two starters, and uh, they ended up 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.039 kind of mixing and matching some guys at some positions, 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.680 and they didn't play very well up front. And uh, 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:42.359 you can say either that or you can say that 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.400 the Jaguars played better up front. I'll say both happened. 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:49.600 That the Bills weren't a great offensive line, but some 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:53.000 of the Jaguars defensive front guys played their best best games. 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.120 Taven Bryan was one, and I thought Roy Robertson Harris 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.440 played his best game as a Jaguar. Yet even though 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:02.080 the numbers weren't staggering from him, it was a different 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:07.120 looking feeling defense just from the way it was cold. 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:09.840 I think, you know, yeah, Josh Allen back in coverage, 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:11.920 we've seen that something this year. They had the interception, 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:14.880 but a lot of times there's pressure coming from different 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.800 areas and then guys are stepping back in coverage, and 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.160 especially against an offensive line in Buffalo that had some 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:23.840 guys out, that's a lot of moving parts to to 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:27.880 keep up with well and and um, the Buffalo Bills 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.800 love and then what their core offense is all about 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:34.520 us three wide receivers, levin personnel and eleven personnel just 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:37.960 to simplify means one back, okay, and one tight end, 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.880 So that's the one and one, and then the unspoken 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:45.360 number is always the wide receivers. Okay. So eleven personnel 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.520 is one tight end, one back, three wide receivers, which 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:49.960 is buffalo plays all the time. And so it's a 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.960 little bit easier I think to maybe dial in and 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:54.800 and and maybe expand some of the things that you 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.720 want to do because they don't run a they don't 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:00.600 run four tight ends. Hell, he only got tight ends 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.200 on the roster and the elevated one from the practice 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.280 squad just to have too for the game because one 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.400 of them was a scratch from injury. So I think 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.200 that made a little bit easier. But I'm a big believer, 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.960 and that's you want to make sure that you're simplistic 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:18.440 enough to where your team can play fast and they 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:23.000 can be locked in. And I thought the biggest I 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:24.800 would say the biggest I don't want to see the 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:28.400 biggest credit. One of the biggest changes that they had 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:33.080 from previous weeks was the lack of substitutions or the 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:38.080 minimizing of wholesale changes in personnel groupings. For example, in 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.920 Seattle there was two instances of twelve men on the field, 0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:45.280 they're trying to shuffle defensive lineman and on and off 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.760 the field, And in this game, you didn't see a 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:52.160 lot of that, And I think because they didn't do 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:55.040 a lot of that, it allowed the players to really 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:58.559 hone in lock in on what they're supposed to do, 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:02.520 because perfect example, JP, if I'm a linebacker and I'm 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:04.840 Miles Jack and I'm I got the green dot, and 0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.679 I'm trying to get everybody lined up and and communicate 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.640 with everybody. But then you add to that, I'm trying 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:12.480 to figure out do we got to eleven on the field? 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:14.680 Do we have twelve or do we have ten? And 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:16.720 I'm trying to figure out who's running off and who's 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:18.720 running on and which guy do I need to talk to. 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.320 If I'm doing all that, here's the thing. I'm not 0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:23.800 getting us lined up and where we need to be. 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:27.000 And on top of that, I'm not thinking about what 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.400 I need to do against what I'm seeing out of 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.800 the opponent. And so simplifying it a little bit by 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.199 not having a lot of these substitution things, I think 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.720 helped them a little bit. Let's get a little more 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:41.800 into the Jaguars Josh Allen day. We heard him after 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:44.880 the game, of course, you know, talking about Hey, he 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.520 heard some of the noise that Josh Allen versus Josh 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:52.520 Allen conversation. He had his career day eight tackles all solo, 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:57.600 a sack, two tackles for loss, an interception, his first 0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:01.840 career pick, and a fumble recut every Josh Allen, I'm 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.360 just seeing it before he goes and does it. I 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.360 gotta make those plays when my place, you know when 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.400 my numbers called, Uh, I mean for me, I am 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:16.559 visualized everything. Um a visualized person. I like to speak plays, 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:18.400 you know, I like to speak greatness into my head. 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.800 So you know, when it happens, I'm not surprised, you 0:10:20.800 --> 0:10:23.000 know what I mean. So I know I worked my 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.040 butt off. We all work out boats off in practice 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:26.960 to get you know, to get right for this week. 0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:28.880 And uh, I felt like I had a great week 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.240 of preparation. I feel like I was in a great 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:35.160 mindset and you know, I gotta go out there and play. 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:38.079 This season has been building, especially the last month. It 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:40.400 feels like for Josh Allen. You know, you have the 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:42.680 tackle for loss down around the goal line, which was 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:44.800 a big play on the first down play at another 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.360 TfL in the game, and then I sat all that stuff. 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.680 But the last few weeks. Week five seven tackle game, 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:54.480 half a sack, couple of quarterback hits. Week six in London, 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:59.920 seven tackles, quarterback hit past defense, Week eight Seattle six tackles, 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.040 couple of sex in that game later in the game. 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:04.680 But he had four tackles for the loss against the Seahawks. 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.200 And then it builds up to this one. This is 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:09.720 you know, he's been to a Pro Bowl. We get it, 0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:13.240 he's a really good player. Coming off the injury last year, 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:15.280 there was some can he get back to that form? 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.280 He's back to that former Well let me let me 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.800 let me add this too. He's not doing it alone. Okay. 0:11:20.920 --> 0:11:23.000 Uh the goal line play that you just talked about 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.440 that we just showed first and goal from the three 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:29.800 or whatever it was, and he has a TfL Gotsis 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:33.800 gets great penetration. Okay, go to last week's sack that 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:39.240 he had against Seattle, and you have great penetration on 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:43.439 a t E by Tavin Bryan that allows a downhill 0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:46.600 pass rush game move by Josh Allen. So I mean 0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:48.280 he's not doing it alone. I mean other guys are 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:51.800 playing well too. Did that help him? And uh, but 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.640 that's what happens most times, right, good defensive that's what 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:58.200 you want. You want good performances, building and making other 0:11:58.280 --> 0:12:03.359 performances better. And Josh was really good. The most impressive 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:07.800 thing about Josh JP is I call this football i 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:11.800 Q okay and to to try to break it down 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:15.760 for you, Josh is incredibly smart and aware on the 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:21.600 football field and what awareness does. For example, when the 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:27.600 place snapped, Josh sees things faster than other people. And 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:31.280 so since he's seeing things faster than other people or 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:36.200 recognizing things faster, it now allows him the advantage that 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:40.319 the physical reaction is happening sooner. So people say, gosh, 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.760 he's so quick. Well, he's quick because the mental i 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:48.920 Q is high and so the body's moving faster, quicker 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.719 than other people. And on top of that, he's got 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.200 a great physical skill set. I mean, we know he's 0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.520 you know, he's super athletic, and he's fast and and 0:12:57.600 --> 0:13:01.360 all of those things, but but the football Q is 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:04.760 what makes him what he is. And there's other players 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:08.040 that we've seen in the past that have played here 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.040 that we watch on other teams that they just don't 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:14.040 have the awareness the ball runs by him, they don't 0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:17.800 even know it. But with Josh, he's got the football 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:19.960 like you. Another guy that that has it too, that's 0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:24.439 playing well as is Dawn Smoot. I mean, Smooth plays 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.640 hard every week. The stop the cass fumble that he 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:31.520 had on Josh Allen, we're gonna actually draw that up 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:37.280 all access, okay. And the reason it was a good 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:41.160 play is the Jaguars are playing man, which was not 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:43.400 something they played a lot of in the game, and 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.520 it was a short situation where hey, look you've got 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:49.960 to get a stop and critical moments that are playing aggressive, 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:52.120 playing man, and they've got everybody in a gap. Well, 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.080 the one guy that kind of has two gaps on 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:57.439 that play is Smoot because if the read option comes, 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.040 he doesn't have a single response. It's ability if the 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:03.400 if the back gets the ball, he's got to tackle 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:07.240 the back downhill, closing on on the whole formation. And 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.200 here we're looking at it now. So if the back 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.600 got the ball, he was responsible for making that tackle. 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.760 Josh Allen keeps it. Guess what, he's responsible for making 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:18.560 that too. And it was a great read and a 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:22.200 great reaction and then to add on top of that 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:26.720 a sure tackle and the athletic skills to to you know, 0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:28.520 because Josh tried to give him a little fake and 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:31.400 go underneath of him, and and he didn't. He just 0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:33.320 he was on top of it, you know. So I 0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:36.320 love the way that smooths playing. And he's been playing 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:39.440 well as as as well as Josh Allen has been 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:41.720 playing over the last number, you know, three or four 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:44.360 or five weeks, whatever it's been, I think Smooth has 0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:48.800 been been playing well as well. Quarterback hit in six 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:51.200 of the seven games that he's played this year for 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.200 the Wan, Smooth in a sack and three of the 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:56.200 last four. I mean, that's here, you go getting hot. 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.240 Three sacks and four games. I mean, that's about as 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:01.720 as good as you can get. And and I think 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:04.880 the coaching stuff, and here's the reality. When you have 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.320 a new coaching staff, sometimes it takes a little bit 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:09.720 of time for them to figure out what they got. 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:12.880 I mean, I I even think, like James Robinson, when 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:16.320 this coaching staff comes in here, they don't really truly 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.280 understand what James Robinson is. I think that was clear 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.640 in the offseason training camp too. And they're trying to Yeah, absolutely, 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:24.160 and then all of a sudden they see him in 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:26.520 a game and they're like, uh, five and a half 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:30.800 a carry, He's different, right, And and I think the 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:33.760 same thing is true sometimes when when you got a 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.720 guy like Smoot and that you're trying to understand, you 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:38.480 know what kind of a role he can play and 0:15:38.520 --> 0:15:41.520 how good he is. And the one thing I've always 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:44.640 appreciated about Smooth he plays hard, and he plays hard 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:48.440 every week. And as a coach and as a fan, 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:51.360 I think that's that's all you can ask is to 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:53.840 have a player that's committed, that plays hard and shows 0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:56.920 up every week. And that's exactly what Smoot does. And 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.520 he gives you his all. I mean, Rudy Ford, we 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:04.320 have any right did he come? I mean it's incredibly 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:06.400 He's a special teams guy. That's why he came here. 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:08.160 And then hey, let's put him in. He's a great 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:10.520 special teams coverage guy. Let's put him in on Nickels, 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:12.840 see what he can do. And his third career start ever, 0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:14.520 he's been in the league for a number of years now, 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:18.080 he's what fifth year, Yeah, And like if you're starting 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.160 out of all burn and he's got kind of the 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:25.280 measurables of the safety six ft two and uh, I mean, 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:26.800 in fact, that's kind of where they had him on 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:29.080 the depth chart. And so the season starts out, you know, 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:33.240 they try Tyson Campbell at nicol and I decided to 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.280 leave him at the corner spot. And then they put 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:38.640 Trey Herndon in there, and then they try Chris Claybrooks 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:42.160 and they tried never lost in a little bit. You know, 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.200 they're like they're still looking and and all of a sudden, 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:48.680 you know what, Hey, this this guy that's playing special 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:50.360 teams for us. You know, it does a really good 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:52.720 job on special teams. You know, let's see what he 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:56.760 can do playing defense. And he has been he's been solid, 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:00.840 has been great, but he's been really solid, and uh 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:03.120 and I love like the way he has been tackling 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:06.880 because the nickel. Remember when you go to nickel, you're 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:09.320 taking a linebacker out. So in a lot of formations, 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:13.520 the nickel has to tackle. Whoever plays nickel has to 0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:17.040 be able to say I'm not scared of contact and 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.760 I'm willing to take on some big boys. Aaron Colvin 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.560 told me one time, if you're playing nickel, you gotta 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:26.119 have some dog in you. You got He's got a 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:27.920 lot of dog in him, and he's got a great 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.040 he's a he's very physical and that's what I like 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.920 about him. And he's a really good tackler. And here's 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:37.320 the crazy thing, JP, he's still making tackles on kickoff 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:41.159 coverage and special teams. They didn't take him off of 0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.680 all of them just because he's the start nickel. He's 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.320 still playing some of the court teams. Can he get 0:17:46.359 --> 0:17:49.000 open and routes cus Well, he can't know. And let's 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:52.920 not do that too much off there. Let's come back 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:55.199 in a moment. And speaking of offense, we'll hear from 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:59.280 Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars cornerback, on the injury and the ankle 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:02.640 issue and the game last week and his thoughts around 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.200 that after he spoke after the game last week.

No, I thought it was a 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:37.320 lot worse than after you some time and we scanned it. 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:39.560 It was good and just a little bit of weight 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:42.240 on it. Gradually I was feeling better and better. Give 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:45.200 a little bit of time um and help, but man, 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:46.600 it was. It was cool to see c J go 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.720 in there and be ready and just through a couple 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:51.720 of great balls that wanted to add was a freaking 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.040 dime that he threw, So that was that was cool 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:57.760 to see him just going there. And from that, of course, 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:01.240 it's Trevor Lawrence sees the Jaguars starting quarterback and this 0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:04.320 is Jaguars Happy Our J P.

That when made everybody hold their 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:29.600 breath for about twenty minutes or so of real time 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:33.080 I think fifteen twenty minutes with Trevor Lawrence took the 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:36.439 hit from Walker Little's back foot being pushed back and 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:39.200 got the ball free and then hit his ankle down. 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:42.000 He goes he can't even walk by himself up the tunnel, 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:47.280 and it's like, oh no, this is not happening, right, Yeah, 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:50.920 it was. Two thoughts were kind of going through my head. 0:19:50.960 --> 0:19:54.880 First one obviously was oh no, uh, you don't need 0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:58.760 this happening to your rookie quarterback because you don't want 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:02.199 to lose any any any minute of development in the 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:06.280 first year. And number two is I was like, Walker 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:09.040 Little gets his first start and all people are gonna 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:12.080 talk about is that he got pushed back and he 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:14.919 stepped on the quarterbacks foot and he heard him and 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:17.200 he took him out. I mean, that's not the way 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:20.320 you want to start your your NFL careers, first start 0:20:20.359 --> 0:20:23.119 out with. But but thank goodness, he came back and 0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:26.960 so now it's just it's just an afterthought now or 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:29.760 a side note. I mean, from the way he went 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:32.359 off the field with athletic trainer in one arm and 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:35.760 team doctor and the other two coming out running sprints 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:38.479 going back in the game, that's that's pretty tough. Now 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:41.000 in the quarterback we were we were in a in 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:43.240 a radio booth, you know, me and Tony and Frank 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:47.000 and Dave and Cush and we're sitting there and the 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:49.520 first somebody throws out their achilles and I was like, 0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:55.600 don't say that, don't you doctors in the radio booth? 0:20:55.640 --> 0:21:01.159 Now that so uh So, yeah, I mean, fortunately, thank goodness. Yeah, 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:04.400 But I mean that's because at first, you we couldn't 0:21:04.480 --> 0:21:08.520 see the replay to where you saw Walker a little 0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:12.520 stepping on the ankle. So now you're thinking at first, 0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:15.800 at you know, when a quarterback plants that back foot, 0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:19.800
