Speaker 1: We have a program for you today. After victory Monday,
Speaker 1: it's victory Tuesday. It's victory week, it's victory two weeks. Actually,
Speaker 1: it's a bye week coming up. Jaguars analyst Jeff Loguman
Speaker 1: joins us here just a moment, we'll take a final
Speaker 1: look at the Jaguars win over the Dolphins twenty three
Speaker 1: twenty we will preview the bye week for the football team,
Speaker 1: not for me or maybe for me in logs two,
Speaker 1: who knows the Urban Meyer showed five o'clock. Head coach
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer joins us on the Jaguars Radio Network today.
Speaker 1: Hope you'll stick around for that. That's who the head
Speaker 1: coach has to say. We'll get his final thoughts and
Speaker 1: see maybe what was going through his mind on those
Speaker 1: field goals. So they were in the air, the last
Speaker 1: two of them at taught to Mot Spur Stadium last Sunday.
Speaker 1: Jeff Lackerman with us now Jaguars analysts and it all
Speaker 1: just looks, feels, smells. Is different After you win a
Speaker 1: football game, well, I think from the standpoint of the team,
Speaker 1: you get joy. You know, you get to validate why
Speaker 1: why you work so hard And and as Bill parcel
Speaker 1: As you say on that the great NFL Films moment,
Speaker 1: because that's why you looked all them damn weights and
Speaker 1: why you sweat and you do this and you do that.
Speaker 1: You know it's a win because that's why you're paid
Speaker 1: to play, is to win football games. And very happy
Speaker 1: for this football team. It it helps give you a
Speaker 1: little bit of validation that your hard work is not
Speaker 1: all for nothing. And uh and and very proud of
Speaker 1: the way they got the victory because I thought that
Speaker 1: the game could have at any moment in the second
Speaker 1: half when you had some bad things happened to where
Speaker 1: you you turn the ball over on downs and you
Speaker 1: don't kick a field goal. And I mean it would
Speaker 1: have been very easy for a team that's lost twenty
Speaker 1: in a row to kind of say, oh, here we
Speaker 1: go again, we're not gonna be able to win. But
Speaker 1: they didn't do that. And I think the play of
Speaker 1: the young quarterback was exceptional. I think that's the story
Speaker 1: of the game by far. There were so many close moments.
Speaker 1: The Jamal agnew did he touch it or not? On
Speaker 1: the punt return that could have really what do you
Speaker 1: think I thought first glance that he touched it. How
Speaker 1: does the ring finger on its own? God, that's an
Speaker 1: odd movement. I don't know, but that kind of thing.
Speaker 1: And then, like you said, the fourth and one going
Speaker 1: for it, didn't get it, didn't get the push and
Speaker 1: couldn't get the first down. They drive down and score,
Speaker 1: and then JAG's rally back. They hit the screen just
Speaker 1: fifty four yard field goal. You'll see that twisted and
Speaker 1: turn earned and somehow found the bottom right corner. It
Speaker 1: was guided, was guided, it was something else, and then
Speaker 1: it might have been something else guided. We'll take it.
Speaker 1: And then the fourth and one stop Josh Allen was
Speaker 1: there first to make the play. And then another field
Speaker 1: goal and the slider play. All that happened in the
Speaker 1: fourth third, a slider play that was really should be
Speaker 1: called the Pete Rose play because it really wasn't a slider.
Speaker 1: I mean, they didn't slide like you're supposed to. I
Speaker 1: mean really, I mean at some point. I mean, the
Speaker 1: whole concept of the slider play is too gave a
Speaker 1: minimum game because you're not gonna be able to gain
Speaker 1: a lot of yards. It's not like you're looking again twenty.
Speaker 1: You're looking to gain a quick, little chunk of yards.
Speaker 1: And then the receiver goes down when I say, goes
Speaker 1: down feet first. That's the slide, like the old baseball
Speaker 1: feet first lock a quarterback giving himself up. The reason
Speaker 1: why you want to go feet first is because it's
Speaker 1: giving yourself up, so now you can the team can
Speaker 1: use the time out when you go head first. That's
Speaker 1: the play. You're still kind of alive, and the Dolphins
Speaker 1: make a huge mistake and we're watching it now on
Speaker 1: our monitor. You can see that the safety Brandon Jones
Speaker 1: touches Leviska down and Urban who did a great job
Speaker 1: of communicating with the official on the sideline, saying, hey, look,
Speaker 1: once we get down, we want to time out immediately.
Speaker 1: And you can see that the official that he's standing
Speaker 1: right next to as soon as Levisca is touch you know,
Speaker 1: the hands are waving in the air to stop the
Speaker 1: game clock. And uh, and I don't know how many
Speaker 1: times that I watched that play on film going on
Speaker 1: thousand one, one thousand two, one thousand three, one thousand four,
Speaker 1: and it was it was four seconds. It wasn't like
Speaker 1: it was. It might have been a little lesson for
Speaker 1: they got it perfect, I mean, he said. And Daryl
Speaker 1: Bebble spoke with the media today and you know, said,
Speaker 1: the parameters were really stretched on that play. It's the
Speaker 1: normally don't need eight yards, they need about five or
Speaker 1: six and they usually need about six seconds instead of five.
Speaker 1: And they were kind of, hey, rolling the dice. But
Speaker 1: the worst that happens there, okay, maybe the clock runs
Speaker 1: out and you get overtime, right, is that you lose
Speaker 1: the game in that scenario. Well, they were gonna run
Speaker 1: the Hail Mary before that, and then they had a
Speaker 1: conversation and said, well, hey, let's try the slider play
Speaker 1: and and you know, and it worked. I mean, and
Speaker 1: give give the Jaguars credit that the Dolphins were playing
Speaker 1: and we're gonna actually look at this in the football
Speaker 1: lab on Jack's Wire this week on Wednesday night on
Speaker 1: Fox thirty. This the way that they defensed it. They
Speaker 1: had two guys all the way back at the goal line,
Speaker 1: and then they had everybody else was underneath, but everybody was.
Speaker 1: They were playing man, which is kind of surprising, and
Speaker 1: then they had everybody playing outside leverage for their men.
Speaker 1: La Visca, the guy, the safety that was in the middle,
Speaker 1: he was essentially just kind of a free player. And
Speaker 1: which is Jones, the guy that touched Lavisca down. He
Speaker 1: really didn't have any responsibility because you had a defensive
Speaker 1: back over on the outside of Lavisca. So they're playing
Speaker 1: for maybe a quick out route which you know you
Speaker 1: could drow and then receiver goes out because if it's
Speaker 1: if a players tackled in the middle of the field
Speaker 1: or whatever, then it could end up delaying, you know,
Speaker 1: the possible. So Brian Flores I thought played it smartly,
Speaker 1: thinking that they're gonna go to the perimeter to to
Speaker 1: get the clock stop. And the Jaguars I think got
Speaker 1: very fortunate, very fortunate that Jones touches Lavisca and uh
Speaker 1: because a lot of things got to go right on
Speaker 1: that play. And credit to the quarterback. He got rid
Speaker 1: of the ball quick and made it happen because a
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks would be like unsure and he was
Speaker 1: just I mean, bam, there it is. It sounded like
Speaker 1: they've done it a lot in practice over the weeks,
Speaker 1: just trying plays similar to that, situations like that, and
Speaker 1: it comes up in a game and they finally got
Speaker 1: to go through with it. But everybody's excited for the win,
Speaker 1: and rightly so. Um I think I'm most excited about
Speaker 1: it because you're not flirting with history anymore. The losing
Speaker 1: skit is over twenty games. I know these guys have
Speaker 1: been working their tails off and all that. We will
Speaker 1: here from Coach Meyer coming up in just a little
Speaker 1: bit about all of that. But you know it was
Speaker 1: in the NFL, you're here to win football games, and
Speaker 1: when you do it almost at a record streak, it's
Speaker 1: not good for any part of the organization, certainly not
Speaker 1: the to the to the opposite of what the objective is.
Speaker 1: That's right, and that that that puts everything in your
Speaker 1: whole organization um at risk. That's a problem. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're because and it permeates through the entire from the
Speaker 1: football side, I think through the business, ticketing side, sponsorship,
Speaker 1: all these people that are supporting the football side of things.
Speaker 1: It's over now. I think that's the most important thing
Speaker 1: you can focus on the next week ahead. Refresh a
Speaker 1: little bit. Okay, Jags have won a game. They're trying
Speaker 1: to get better. They have some things that work on,
Speaker 1: but that's the boat for me, at least, the best
Speaker 1: feeling of all. Well, the streak is over, but the
Speaker 1: quest to be a consistent winner is not. That's that
Speaker 1: that that This team's got a long way to go
Speaker 1: before it gets to that. But I think the I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go back to this and say this again. In
Speaker 1: order to do that, you have to have a quarterback.
Speaker 1: And I think that that game, right there was an
Speaker 1: exceptional game by a young quarterback. I'm talking exceptional, and
Speaker 1: I think there were many moments in that ball game
Speaker 1: that those around him weren't playing to his level. In
Speaker 1: other words, they need to play better for this team
Speaker 1: to be better. Numerous instance, how many drops did we
Speaker 1: have in the ball goal? Okay, some of those drops
Speaker 1: we're just flat out drops. There was also some balls
Speaker 1: that got batted down because the receivers aren't coming back
Speaker 1: to the ball. I mean, that's the one thing I
Speaker 1: think that young players and you got to coach him up.
Speaker 1: Young players in the league don't understand is that in
Speaker 1: college quarterback throws the ball and it's on its way
Speaker 1: and and then the receiver would just kind of sit
Speaker 1: there and wait, No, you can't do that in the NFL.
Speaker 1: You gotta come back to the ball because they talk
Speaker 1: about how windows are so much smaller in the National
Speaker 1: Football either smaller because the defensive backs and everybody's faster,
Speaker 1: so you have to be able to adjust. And I
Speaker 1: think the wide receivers need to do a much better
Speaker 1: job of coming back to the ball. Dan Arnold had
Speaker 1: one didn't come back to the ball on a scramble
Speaker 1: by Trevor Lawrence down of the pocket. Trevor was making
Speaker 1: what do they call that, making chicken soup out of chicken. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he was making something good out of the play and
Speaker 1: Arnold sits down and he's waiting for the ball like
Speaker 1: fifteen eighteen yards and he's just sitting there. Well, that
Speaker 1: gives the defensive back time to come back. And Rea,
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta come back. And if you come
Speaker 1: back and get it, you got a great play. And
Speaker 1: that's my point about how there's some people around Trevor
Speaker 1: that need to start elevating their level of play because
Speaker 1: he's making it possible for them to do. So it's
Speaker 1: a it was a good start though, to get that victory.
Speaker 1: And you know, we can go through it all kinds
Speaker 1: of ways, and we will over the next fifty minutes
Speaker 1: or so here on Jaguars Happy Hour. UM. Let's continue
Speaker 1: on offense though, and the run game continued to be
Speaker 1: a strong point for this Jags team. James Robinson put
Speaker 1: together a solid day of work. Most of his time
Speaker 1: carrying the football was in the second half of last
Speaker 1: week's game. He had a touchdown early, a one yard score.
Speaker 1: There he is with that four point three average. Again,
Speaker 1: he's now sixth in the league in rushing yardage. And
Speaker 1: if you look at the first six, three of them
Speaker 1: are in the a f C South by the way,
Speaker 1: the three of the six rushing leaders. Um, but look
Speaker 1: at the the the amount of carries that Derrick Henry
Speaker 1: has to lead the way in the NFL so far,
Speaker 1: He's got a hundred and sixty two carries, seven hundred
Speaker 1: eighty three yards. Right, it's still a great average four
Speaker 1: point eight. And what is uh, what is it Jonathan
Speaker 1: Taylor in Indianapolis? How many carries this tailor has got
Speaker 1: eighty seven for four seventy two. James Robinson's got eighty
Speaker 1: four for four sixty. Henry's got twice as many carries
Speaker 1: as these guys. I mean, it's it's pretty remarkable. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a different level, different offense, different things. JP what
Speaker 1: do when James gets the ball? He's still effective on
Speaker 1: average as much at least as Henry. Uh. First and foremost,
Speaker 1: Uh Derrick Henry is uh otherworldly. I mean that's the
Speaker 1: only way to describe it. I mean, some of the
Speaker 1: things that he's doing. I mean he's doing it year
Speaker 1: in and year out, and and he's basically carrying that
Speaker 1: Tennessee football team on his back. Yeah, that's right, he is.
Speaker 1: He's carrying him on the back on his back. And
Speaker 1: he got a new contract. But is he is he's
Speaker 1: still underpaid. Oh yeah, yeah, he's still underpaid. James Robinson's
Speaker 1: definitely underpaid. He's still on an undrafted rookie deal, probably
Speaker 1: making somewhere around minimum. And uh and as good as
Speaker 1: he is, at some point he's gonna make a lot
Speaker 1: more money because he's a really good back. And what
Speaker 1: I love about him is that he's just he's so smart.
Speaker 1: He's got great vision, he's efficient with his with his footwork.
Speaker 1: How many times did we see him because the Miami
Speaker 1: Dolphins were coming up now to stop him. Now they
Speaker 1: were they were they were aggressive, I really aggressive in
Speaker 1: their defense. Put a lot of guys line of scrimmage
Speaker 1: to stop him also to try to pressure Trevor Lawrence,
Speaker 1: and James Robinson was able to power through a lot
Speaker 1: of guys that had him tackled for no gain or
Speaker 1: minus yardage. And I'm talking like carrying guys for a
Speaker 1: game of three and a half when he should have
Speaker 1: been a Most backs that were that our average in
Speaker 1: this league would have been tackled for a no gainer
Speaker 1: or a one yard game. And he's gaining three and
Speaker 1: four yards. That's how good he is. So I love him.
Speaker 1: I think that the more that that this offense continues
Speaker 1: to work with Trevor Lawrence and these receivers, and more
Speaker 1: efficient they get, the better they get it third down,
Speaker 1: because that's not a very good area for them right
Speaker 1: now bad on Sunday. The better they get in that area,
Speaker 1: the more carries that James Robinson will see, and the
Speaker 1: ability of an offensive line to kind of take control
Speaker 1: of a game will be able to occur because you're
Speaker 1: keeping the chains moving and stacking some plays together. When
Speaker 1: we return, we'll flip it around to the defensive sidelocks
Speaker 1: and get your take on what the Jags defense had
Speaker 1: to offer Sunday. Well, they got a lot of work
Speaker 1: to do, JP, but we've got a lot of show left.
Speaker 1: They got they got a lot of work to do
Speaker 1: on that side of the ball. And I and and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be just give you a little snapshot here
Speaker 1: that I don't think all of it can be done
Speaker 1: this year. I mean that's they're gonna have to fight
Speaker 1: and cratch and squaw and claw cratching. You must have
Speaker 1: dinner on the mind. We'll take a time out and
Speaker 1: come back defensive talk cratching slaw. When we come back,
Speaker 1: it's Jaguars Happy Hour on the Jaguars Hard Rock Sports
Speaker 1: Book Digital Network. Jaguars Happy Hours, but you buy dream
Speaker 1: Finders homes homes that fit your lifestyle and by Baptist Health,
Speaker 1: Changing Healthcare for good. Welcome back. It's Jaguars Happy Hour
Speaker 1: on this Tuesday afternoon. It's the bye week, coming off
Speaker 1: a Jaguars win. Everybody's feeling good, everybody. That wouldn't be
Speaker 1: a bad week for a concert. Right at Daily's Place,
Speaker 1: the schedule is starting to cool, down a bit for
Speaker 1: the fall. These are the final three shows scheduled October
Speaker 1: twenty three. Little Big Town, It's coming up in a
Speaker 1: few days. Came Brown two nights November twelve, tickets at
Speaker 1: Daily's Place dot com. Well, the weather is perfect for
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, right, I mean it could be
Speaker 1: a touch cooler, but I mean it seems like I'm
Speaker 1: very happy to see that we're out of the the
Speaker 1: heat of summer. We have now approached fall weather. Autumn
Speaker 1: is officially here, right, didn't that happened just a week
Speaker 1: or two ago on the calendar. I don't know how
Speaker 1: that works, man, I don't know the exact date. And
Speaker 1: I think we are. I think it's here now, at
Speaker 1: least our version of it in Florida. Yeah, whatever that is. Yet,
Speaker 1: this is what it is, basically victory Tuesday. Yeah all day.
Speaker 1: That makes the weather feel better. The weather is better.
Speaker 1: Every slaw tastes incredible. I mean, you got it's incredible.
Speaker 1: It could be on the humidity and it would be
Speaker 1: if it would be filling perfect a perfect weather day. Defense. Well,
Speaker 1: the rush seemed to get closer to two. Uh, they
Speaker 1: didn't hit him, but only three times they didn't sack him,
Speaker 1: but they affected himself. But there was just guys running
Speaker 1: wide open in the secondary, so he could get it
Speaker 1: out and have a lot of success. And he really
Speaker 1: wasn't that good. Two wasn't I mean really, I mean,
Speaker 1: he wasn't that good. And they racked up four hundred
Speaker 1: thirty one yards. I mean, think of what what that
Speaker 1: number could have been if two ends up making some
Speaker 1: throws like the one that he's rolling out of the
Speaker 1: pocket to his left and he can he can gain
Speaker 1: fifteen yards and move the sticks on a third down
Speaker 1: and he tries to throw it. I don't know who
Speaker 1: he's throwing it to do you know, I still haven't
Speaker 1: figured it out. And two guys and the ball doesn't
Speaker 1: even land within like six yards of either guy. Tafter
Speaker 1: that game, I was like, man, I'm glad that, uh,
Speaker 1: that's not our quarterback. So but got a lot of
Speaker 1: work to do as a defense. I mean, they've got
Speaker 1: to uh and you know, they're pretty good against the run,
Speaker 1: but this is a passing league now, and to have
Speaker 1: a chance, you have to stop the run. If you
Speaker 1: don't stop the run, then you definitely don't have a
Speaker 1: chance in a passing lead because it makes the opponent
Speaker 1: to have the ability to be multidimensional, and it opens
Speaker 1: up play action, which is a big part of your
Speaker 1: chunk plays given up. The Jaguars defense are giving up
Speaker 1: some chunk plays without play action. I mean just tight ends. Well,
Speaker 1: the tight ends. And you know, when you've had some
Speaker 1: mental errors in the past, communication you know, you can
Speaker 1: call it communication, you can call it Emmy's mental errors,
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. But the breakdowns, you
Speaker 1: try to clean them up as much as possible. And
Speaker 1: you're always gonna have some mental errors in a game.
Speaker 1: You're just you know that there's always a goal or
Speaker 1: an objective to have a minimal amount and each coach
Speaker 1: will have like the winning formula points giving up, mental
Speaker 1: ayrors allowed per game, yards rushing allowed per game. They
Speaker 1: have all these different categories to see if you can
Speaker 1: or to give you an idea of what you need
Speaker 1: to do to have success. And right now the defense
Speaker 1: is just there. I mean they're doing an okay job
Speaker 1: against the run. Teams are able to put a total
Speaker 1: number of rushing yards up. That's probably not where you
Speaker 1: want to be just because of the number of players
Speaker 1: are able to put together. Because the third down percentage
Speaker 1: that they're converting that is higher. And also the passing
Speaker 1: numbers that an opponent is having is is making it
Speaker 1: difficult on the Jaguars defense. And the intermediate route with
Speaker 1: the tight ends was a problem in this game, and
Speaker 1: people all say, well, you know whose fault is that?
Speaker 1: And it just depends on the coverage. I mean, when
Speaker 1: you're playing a zone coverage, which that's what the Jaguars
Speaker 1: are playing more of now than they are playing. Man,
Speaker 1: it could be a middle linebacker, it could be an
Speaker 1: outside linebacker, it could be a safety, it could be
Speaker 1: a corner. You just I mean, it depends on the coverage.
Speaker 1: And they were rolling a lot of guys in at linebacker,
Speaker 1: Miles Jack is out and Damien Wilson's out there. You
Speaker 1: know that Shaq quarterman was out there running around and
Speaker 1: you had you had one of one instance that the
Speaker 1: one thing that Miami likes to run with two is
Speaker 1: a lot of that read option look where he sticks
Speaker 1: it in the in the belly of a running back
Speaker 1: and then pulls it out. And the whole reason teams
Speaker 1: love to run this RPO kind of look is because
Speaker 1: when the quarterback sticks the ball into the stomach of
Speaker 1: a running backs belly. The linebackers have to honor that,
Speaker 1: so they either have to stay put or come up
Speaker 1: if they start forward. Now, all of a sudden, you've
Speaker 1: got somebody leaking in behind him on a pass route,
Speaker 1: and that's where the quarterback is trying to throw it.
Speaker 1: So the whole reason for sticking the ball in the
Speaker 1: running back stomach is to pull the linebackers up to
Speaker 1: give more space between the linebackers and the safeties or
Speaker 1: the linebackers in the corners or nickel or whoever. Obviously,
Speaker 1: if they don't come up or they stay back and
Speaker 1: moved back, just hand it off and let the running back.
Speaker 1: So yeah, and that's you know, it's a what do
Speaker 1: they say, a double edged sword kind of in that uh,
Speaker 1: you know. The great linebackers though they know it, they
Speaker 1: feel it, They read it based on what's happening with
Speaker 1: the big picture. They look at the offensive lineman, they
Speaker 1: look at the quarterback his action. Some quarterbacks cannot look
Speaker 1: the same when they hand it off versus when they
Speaker 1: pull it out the past, basically tipping their pitches if
Speaker 1: you will, like you know, that's that's where you you
Speaker 1: gotta you know, you gotta study and what we call
Speaker 1: some some coaches, some teams, some quarterbacks have what just
Speaker 1: like baseball, what do they call it? A tell? There's
Speaker 1: a tell in other words, there's a clue to give
Speaker 1: you an idea of what it's gonna be or not
Speaker 1: gonna be. That's got to be cleaned up though, But
Speaker 1: right now they have some issues to work on the secondary.
Speaker 1: You know, you got some guys playing it. You know,
Speaker 1: probably did an envision having to play with it when
Speaker 1: the season. No, because one of those guys is now
Speaker 1: in Carolina and we can go through that all day.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean where Lawson wasn't on the team.
Speaker 1: He's only been on for a few weeks. But it
Speaker 1: was his first career interception. It's his eighth year. Almost
Speaker 1: gratulations to him on the interception, but that was a gift. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was another moment. But that where two of throws
Speaker 1: the ball and you go, what the world was that?
Speaker 1: What did Joe Collins say today when he threw it,
Speaker 1: He's like, I got I hope we catch that, Please
Speaker 1: catch it. There was dolphin fans on that play. And
Speaker 1: then the play where two it doesn't run it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that we're screaming some expletives. I guarantee that Josh Allen
Speaker 1: last week two weeks ago now had seven tackles, had
Speaker 1: a half sack, two quarterback hits, had a past defense.
Speaker 1: This week in London, he had seven more tackles, a
Speaker 1: quarterback hit, a pass defense. But he was in on
Speaker 1: that big fourth down in one stop in the fourth
Speaker 1: quarter to set up the Jaguars final drive to ultimately
Speaker 1: get the game winning field goal. He cut inside inside
Speaker 1: that well, I guess that was the tight end that
Speaker 1: was blocking him and got in there and made the
Speaker 1: first hit behind the line. Yeah, because you don't have
Speaker 1: the slider play, the London slider play, if you don't
Speaker 1: have Josh making a play on that on that fourth
Speaker 1: down and Smoot and and Damian Wilson, I mean all
Speaker 1: those guys combined, but I mean, you gotta have a
Speaker 1: group effort. And it really started with the penetrator by
Speaker 1: Josh Allen into the backfield and he beat the block
Speaker 1: of the tight end. I got his name here smythe
Speaker 1: and uh, excellent play by him, and I thought he
Speaker 1: played really well overall. I wish he would have gotten
Speaker 1: that sack on Miami's first drive where he had to
Speaker 1: and and and that's you know, you gotta make that play.
Speaker 1: If you're gonna be a big time player, you make
Speaker 1: that play because that takes the Miami Dolphin and out
Speaker 1: of that drive completely. And he wasn't able to make it,
Speaker 1: but I thought he was. He was. I thought Smooth
Speaker 1: played well, and I thought Josh Allen played well, and
Speaker 1: Smooth is I think the one thing about I always
Speaker 1: appreciate about Smoot is that he's so consistent with his
Speaker 1: effort and his performance weekend and week out. Is he
Speaker 1: a great player? No? Is he a good player? Yes?
Speaker 1: Plays hard, Yes, every week gives you everything he got. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: he checked a lot of great boxes that you want
Speaker 1: to have. And you just gotta find some other dogs.
Speaker 1: I mean, some guys that can they can get out
Speaker 1: of their quarterback, and right now they don't have enough
Speaker 1: of them. Well, and you know, next two weeks from now,
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks most likely will be without Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: and the Buffalo Bills come to town. So there's the
Speaker 1: schedule coming up. They've got some offenses they're going to
Speaker 1: face that have some pieces, some weapons that they better
Speaker 1: get some guys healthy and get back at Miles Jack
Speaker 1: back Tyson camp will get him out another week. This
Speaker 1: this is this is um I'm gonna say this, and
Speaker 1: I hope people don't get upset. I mean this season
Speaker 1: is is Are you gonna be able to fix all
Speaker 1: that this year? I mean, JP, I mean, even if
Speaker 1: you get all those things back, what you're talking about
Speaker 1: a couple I mean, it doesn't change it that much.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you want everybody to continue to get better.
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, but this is a thing that
Speaker 1: it will take an off season to address. Whether you
Speaker 1: address it in free agency or you address it through
Speaker 1: the draft, it's gonna take. This takes time. But this year,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, it's not about wins and losses. I mean,
Speaker 1: this season is about the quarterback and his development. So
Speaker 1: as much as I want to see this team win
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, this is about how
Speaker 1: far did the quarterback go as far as his advancement
Speaker 1: in the national you know, at this level in the league.
Speaker 1: Because as long as he continues on that jectory and
Speaker 1: this franchise is gonna be totally fine for many years
Speaker 1: and and they can address everything else kind of as
Speaker 1: as it kind of rolls along. But if if you
Speaker 1: don't have an answer to that first question, and that's
Speaker 1: the quarterback. You've got no chance. And right now I
Speaker 1: can tell you that that game just I don't want
Speaker 1: to say it's cemented, but it just gave you further
Speaker 1: evidence that this guy is the real deal and he
Speaker 1: is something special. I mean something special. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we will get into the kickers. Well, kicker now there's
Speaker 1: only one on the roster after today's transaction. The Official
Speaker 1: Jaguars Podcast network is rolling along. Of course, it's the

Speaker 1: Star Credit Union and welcome back to Jaguars Happy Our
Speaker 1: j P. Shadrick, Jeff Logerman. We'll get the kicking game
Speaker 1: coming up. But just a few moments ago, Adam Schefter
Speaker 1: of ESPN putting out a tweet, this was let's see
Speaker 1: not even ten minutes ago. Now says this file this
Speaker 1: under Dad of the Year nominee. Jaguars starting defensive lineman
Speaker 1: Dwan Smooth unexpectedly delivered his newborn daughter, a Lonnie Moon
Speaker 1: Smooth this morning at four am at their home in
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and then puts a photo with more details to it. Uh.
Speaker 1: They were heading out the door to the hospital, she
Speaker 1: fell to her knees and he had to catch his
Speaker 1: wife and then deliver the baby in his living room.
Speaker 1: The pair of medics talked him through trying the umbilical
Speaker 1: cord over the phone. All three are doing well. Mother,
Speaker 1: daughter and Dwan. Of course he might have a heart attack,
Speaker 1: but other than that he's doing fine. And uh, the
Speaker 1: full team was informed about all of it today during
Speaker 1: the meeting. But congratulations to Dwan Smoot and family and
Speaker 1: way to go. Did it all off the house and
Speaker 1: way to go? Man, Yeah, he's coachable, I can say
Speaker 1: so about that. What a day. What a bye week
Speaker 1: ahead to two weeks. Two players that have newborns that
Speaker 1: you know, um looking at Mary Cook had their baby
Speaker 1: last week. That's an incredible story though. That is cool. Man. Yes,
Speaker 1: Joe Fortunado has a menut. What about mom with no
Speaker 1: chemical enhancement? Probably right. Yeah, yeah, there you go. I
Speaker 1: mean that's uh yeah, can you imagine. Um, come on,
Speaker 1: let's go to the hospital down and oh, better make
Speaker 1: a phone call real quick. But congratulations to the Smoot family. Um,
Speaker 1: let's move along to and on top of that, JP,
Speaker 1: he just got back from London. Yeah I know about
Speaker 1: the timing of that. Yeah, that's pretty incredible. Yeah right,
Speaker 1: glad they flew quickly getting back home. Uh kicking game
Speaker 1: Matthew Wright. This guy a month ago was a software
Speaker 1: engineer and literally literally was in the high school still
Speaker 1: Lockheed Martin. He was where he got a job right
Speaker 1: after college. They gave him a job. They said, hey,
Speaker 1: we want to you know, see, you still have your
Speaker 1: goal of being an NFL kicker, but you have basically
Speaker 1: a cubicle for lack of a better term, here when
Speaker 1: you want it. So he's been working on and off.
Speaker 1: He kicked for the Steelers last year and then I
Speaker 1: was drafted in the XFL before that didn't work out whatever,
Speaker 1: so h here he comes again and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: a month to go, he's working for Lockheed Martin. Now
Speaker 1: he's kicking field goals, and not just field goals, I
Speaker 1: mean bombs fifty four and fifty three yards. I would
Speaker 1: say that's probably the edge of his range, let's say
Speaker 1: it nicely that way. But they went in. They were
Speaker 1: spectacular kicks, and now Matthew Wright is the kicker. Josh
Speaker 1: Lambeau released today after a number of years with the team,
Speaker 1: Thank goodness. The first kick in the game was a
Speaker 1: forty yard or early you know, just kind of get
Speaker 1: get that first one out of the way. You're you're
Speaker 1: not worrying about, Okay, you know, can we make a
Speaker 1: kick this year? Because uh, what is it, like, the
Speaker 1: only team in the Super Bowl air it ever go
Speaker 1: that many games without having made a field goal kicker
Speaker 1: or something like that since I mean even earlier than that,
Speaker 1: since the nineteen sixty two I think, yeah, that's that's crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And so it was good that early in the game
Speaker 1: on the first drive that you had, I'm manageable forty
Speaker 1: yard field goal to get the confidence up. And uh,
Speaker 1: but kudos to him because we didn't think we're in
Speaker 1: the broadcast, we're sitting there thinking that his range is
Speaker 1: fifty two because the previous week he bounces went off
Speaker 1: the crossbar like you know, two and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, he's lining up for a fifty four to
Speaker 1: tie it, and you're going, I don't know about that,
Speaker 1: and then he hit it. It was like, oh see
Speaker 1: we were right. Oh no, wait a minute, it's coming
Speaker 1: back left. It's good, unbelievable. You know they have the
Speaker 1: old bend it like Beckham thing, Well, bend it like
Speaker 1: Matthew Wright. He bent that thing like nobody's business. I
Speaker 1: mean that was I mean, I don't know how many
Speaker 1: I would love it. I don't you know how they
Speaker 1: do these sports science things. Heck did that happen? Right?
Speaker 1: I would like to know literally the amount of feet
Speaker 1: outside the pipe or outside the hash, because the pipe
Speaker 1: runs right at the outside of the hash. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's got a it's gotta be two yards outside the
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's at least six ft.
Speaker 1: I think it's at least that. But I mean, you
Speaker 1: know how they do that, yeah on ESPN and all
Speaker 1: that stuff, And how the way it was knuckling it
Speaker 1: just kind of went back and curved left. And here's
Speaker 1: another thing. We do his wind to the stadium and
Speaker 1: I'd love to know this. Maybe we can get Josh
Speaker 1: Scoby or somebody in here. That could that's just what
Speaker 1: we need more Scobe. What's wrong with Scobe? Great? Great?
Speaker 1: Are you? Are you down on Scobe? Not down on
Speaker 1: Scobe at all? No, I'm kidding. I love Scobe. He's great.
Speaker 1: We've we've had a lot of Scobe. It's a good thing. Well,
Speaker 1: the reason I'm waiting, of course, yes, it doesn't sound
Speaker 1: like it sounds like you got a personal rub against
Speaker 1: Josh Scobe. Let me call Josh has a personal scrub
Speaker 1: against Scobee. I'll let him tell the story. I don't know. Well,
Speaker 1: I guess we'll just had to find that story out
Speaker 1: later on. But I mean, I just don't understand why
Speaker 1: you guys are down on Josh. Not at all. He's
Speaker 1: a great He's one of the he's the best kickers.
Speaker 1: Jackie whats have ever had? Well you can say that
Speaker 1: Josh Lambo was no, why not? Scobe was longer? Did
Speaker 1: it for a longer period? But accuracy wise, okay, sure, right,
Speaker 1: But anyway, I would love to to talk to a
Speaker 1: kicker because like when you throw a baseball, the spin
Speaker 1: of the ball creates the movement, right it seems, yes, oh,
Speaker 1: the seems in the spine the spin and the scenes.
Speaker 1: If you if you had a ball JP that didn't
Speaker 1: have seems it can still you can still throw a curveball,
Speaker 1: Trust me. I throw a wicked curve with them little
Speaker 1: plastic balls that you have the plastic bats with that's
Speaker 1: a whiffleball and bat and they have holes in them
Speaker 1: designed to curve. No no, no, no no no. The
Speaker 1: ones that I throw, they don't have the it's not
Speaker 1: a whiffleball. Okay, it's okays. Different physics. Just saying is
Speaker 1: that how do you get a football that is oblong
Speaker 1: and when you're kicking at its end over end? How
Speaker 1: do you get the spin to make that thing? Because
Speaker 1: when he when it leaves his leg, it goes left
Speaker 1: and then it goes right outside and then it comes
Speaker 1: back in. It literally went like that. How do you
Speaker 1: do that? How does that happen? We get Stephen Hawking
Speaker 1: on the phone or something. I have no idea who
Speaker 1: to call. I would love esperiously. I would love to
Speaker 1: know the physics and how do you do that? He's, uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: can we get on the phone. I don't care if
Speaker 1: JP doesn't like him. I'd like to get Scobie on
Speaker 1: the phone. We might have to do that at some point.
Speaker 1: Let's come back though in a moment. We'll get to
Speaker 1: the Baptist Health injury report, which is, you know, we
Speaker 1: got some time to work on some guys this week.
Speaker 1: Get him back, get them healthy. I'm not working on him,
Speaker 1: but we as an organization is what I mean? The sports?
Speaker 1: What is it called performance? I just wanted to make
Speaker 1: sure there's a new term now, rejuve I heard I
Speaker 1: heard urban use that, you know, or gonna get some
Speaker 1: guys in and the rejew and yeah, and then get
Speaker 1: him going. I like that. It makes sense. This is
Speaker 1: a good week for that back eleven games left to go.
Speaker 1: After this, we get a couple of days at the
Speaker 1: Spot and get ready to rock and roll for the
Speaker 1: rest of the years. I'm just kidding about Spot. If
Speaker 1: you're looking for the m v P of the truck game,
Speaker 1: then look no further than four f one fifty. Loaded
Speaker 1: with impressive capability and designed to dominate, work, play, and
Speaker 1: everything in between. This truck makes tough look easy, no wonder.
Speaker 1: It's the official truck of the NFL and proud partner
Speaker 1: of your Jacksonville Jaguars. This is Jaguars Happy Hour on
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Hard Rock Sports Book Digital Network. Welcome back,
Speaker 1: It's Jaguars Happy Hour on this Tuesday afternoon. J P. Shadrick,
Speaker 1: Jeff Lagerman, Go Fortunato on the audio today, Brent Reverer
Speaker 1: on the video side. Glad you're along with us. We're
Speaker 1: recapping the Jaguars win over the Miami Dolphins twenty three
Speaker 1: twenty the final score. Well, in the last segment, we
Speaker 1: we're talking kicking and the field goals from Matthew Wright
Speaker 1: and the bending field goal fifty four yarder and how
Speaker 1: in the world could that happen? Well, you said, hey,
Speaker 1: maybe let's call Josh Scoby. Well, Josh Scoby was listening
Speaker 1: and he called us. Josh Scoby is on the line
Speaker 1: with us now, one of the great and Jaguar's history.
Speaker 1: Good afternoon to you, Josh. What's up, fellas? How are
Speaker 1: you doing well? Thanks for calling in? Doing great? I
Speaker 1: appreciate you calling in. I mean, I you know, I'm
Speaker 1: very surprised that JP said that he would rather you
Speaker 1: not call in, and I just said, we've had a
Speaker 1: lot of Scoby over the year. Scoby, what is going
Speaker 1: on between you and JP? What? Why is he so
Speaker 1: down on you? I guess the one season that JP
Speaker 1: and I did the show together, that was a little
Speaker 1: bit too much Scoby for him. So I understand it's
Speaker 1: a full glass, a full glass, let scow. It's so
Speaker 1: kay man, we're glad to have you. Thank you for
Speaker 1: a coming on. So let's start with you're watching the game.
Speaker 1: I'm sure right, you're you're up in the morning watching
Speaker 1: the game, and all of a sudden, Matthew Wright comes in.
Speaker 1: A month ago, he's a software analysts. Now he's kicking
Speaker 1: game winners in London. That's wild. Yeah, I mean, obviously
Speaker 1: it's impressive to come in, uh, you know, especially given
Speaker 1: the fact that he and Lambeau were competing that week
Speaker 1: and then it, you know, three really good field goals
Speaker 1: and especially the last two. I mean it's impressive for
Speaker 1: someone that doesn't have very many kicks in the NFL
Speaker 1: under their resume. Alright, So I gotta know, like when
Speaker 1: you when you watch baseball, we're talking about this, I'm
Speaker 1: sure you heard it. When you you know, throw a
Speaker 1: curveball and slider and sinker and you know you got
Speaker 1: the As JP said, the seems to help the ball spin.
Speaker 1: When you kick a football, it's oblong so there's really
Speaker 1: no spin. So why does the ball move left or right?
Speaker 1: How in the world did that ball leave his leg,
Speaker 1: go a little left way out to the right and
Speaker 1: then come back in inside the pipe. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: typically whatever it does, start out to the left like
Speaker 1: that and then go to the right and come back.
Speaker 1: It's because you've kind of mishit the ball a bit.
Speaker 1: And typically whenever I did it, I was impacting the
Speaker 1: ball like more towards my heel, So if you catch
Speaker 1: it anywhere near your heel, it's gonna put like a
Speaker 1: funky little spin on it. But yes, it is possible
Speaker 1: to curve the ball, and most right footing kickers are
Speaker 1: gonna have some type of right to left curve to it,
Speaker 1: and that I did notice that about Matthew right even
Speaker 1: the ard game winner had you know, a little bit
Speaker 1: of curve to it, maybe four or five ft or so.
Speaker 1: But that's pretty typical. Uh, most of the time you're
Speaker 1: gonna get someone left footed, they're gonna be left to
Speaker 1: right right footed. It's right to left. So I mean
Speaker 1: that wasn't so prising for me to see the last one,
Speaker 1: but the yard or definitely had a lot more action
Speaker 1: on it than uh than so is does it do that?
Speaker 1: Because where you make contact on the ball, even the ball,
Speaker 1: though the ball is spinning end over end, that the
Speaker 1: ball is also spinning on its axis correct, So if
Speaker 1: if you mishit it, the ball is gonna redirect one direction.
Speaker 1: However you hit it, and you're as a kicker, you're
Speaker 1: coming in from the inside because you're going in on
Speaker 1: a degree angle, You're impacting the ball on the inside,
Speaker 1: so it has to have some type of curve to
Speaker 1: it unless you your your foot has opened up right
Speaker 1: when you impact the ball. And there's only a handful
Speaker 1: of kickers that I've ever seen that hit a dead
Speaker 1: straight ball every time, and that's pretty rare. Have you
Speaker 1: ever seen a kicker right footed be able to curve
Speaker 1: the ball from left to right? Only one person in
Speaker 1: the history of me watching any kicker kick have I
Speaker 1: seen one person do that? And that's Justin Tucker, really
Speaker 1: and it blew my mind the first time I saw it,
Speaker 1: so I kind of paid attention, and every time I've
Speaker 1: watched him on TV now I'll see that it will
Speaker 1: start out to the left a little bit and just
Speaker 1: kind of fade over to the right, and that means
Speaker 1: that he's probably impacting the ball more towards his heel
Speaker 1: than you would towards your toe. Outstanding stuff, Josh Scoby
Speaker 1: with us on the phone, live radio and its best
Speaker 1: today here on Jaguars Happy Hour, JP, Shadrick, Jeff Flagman
Speaker 1: in the former Jaguars Kicker, speaking of fades and draws. Um,
Speaker 1: I read the other day you you had an albatross
Speaker 1: at Sawgrass? Is that accurate? I did? Uh? It was?
Speaker 1: What is that? I'm a two on a part five two?
Speaker 1: So I made my second shot on the night poll.
Speaker 1: There's two four yards out. There's a a charity golf
Speaker 1: tournament Monday. So that was the first one in my
Speaker 1: golfing career and it was. It was a pretty good
Speaker 1: time and we only one by one shot, so apparently
Speaker 1: we needed that. You'll take it, that's for sure. When
Speaker 1: was the last time you kicked a football? Josh? A
Speaker 1: few weeks ago I kicked with Lauren Brooks from tintinn
Speaker 1: XEL doing the show that she does. We went out
Speaker 1: to Hurt High School at Bishop Kinney and I kicked
Speaker 1: two balls and I was sore for two days after.
Speaker 1: It's not like riding the bikes then apparently. Okay, well, hey,
Speaker 1: thanks for the insight, man. It's great to talk. I've
Speaker 1: always wondered at about, you know, because you see the
Speaker 1: action like like tennis players and when they hit the
Speaker 1: ball and baseball pitchers and by the way, the whiffle
Speaker 1: ball that I'm talking about. Have you if you guys
Speaker 1: ever seen this thing. It's called blitz ball. Okay, see
Speaker 1: Josh knows. Thank you, Josh. I appreciate that because JP
Speaker 1: don you've never played blitz ball. Whiffleball. You could throw
Speaker 1: some junk with the with with the blitz ball. Now,
Speaker 1: that's great blogs. Thank you for that. We uh, we
Speaker 1: appreciate it us great to talk to you, man, and
Speaker 1: thanks for the time today of the insight. Justcobe out
Speaker 1: of here calling us. Yeah, that's pretty cool that the
Speaker 1: only kicker he's ever seen that can kick it right
Speaker 1: footed and actually have it go left to rights. Justin Tucker,
Speaker 1: it's pretty good. I never thought about the fade or
Speaker 1: the draw, whatever you want to call it, and I
Speaker 1: never I've never thought to look to see if a
Speaker 1: right footed kicker could fade it. That's pretty specialized now,
Speaker 1: I mean, you got it. Depending on the conditions and
Speaker 1: all that going on with it too. So there's there's
Speaker 1: a lot of I can see right now that we
Speaker 1: need to get. So think about what he just said.
Speaker 1: He miss hit it a little bit. Yeah, that's why
Speaker 1: it double corrected back and he's still got it fifty
Speaker 1: four yard. I got a fifty five to get it
Speaker 1: over fifty four. Well, I think when miss hit, I
Speaker 1: think would probably be a lot of different things. You know,
Speaker 1: did you hit it maybe too much into the middle
Speaker 1: of the ball, a different part of your foot. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's probably a lot of different ways you miss hit it.
Speaker 1: Joe Fortunato, Hello, I really should have asked Josh this.
Speaker 1: But is the phrase double eagle gone? Does nobody use that?
Speaker 1: Like it's there? But the albatross is kind of the
Speaker 1: new term for that. Yeah, that's pretty good. It's nine
Speaker 1: on the ninth hole. That means he's playing way too
Speaker 1: much golf. Well, that's a good thing, you know, that's
Speaker 1: what he does. Great to have, Josh Gobe. We need
Speaker 1: to get a blitz ball, a little tournament with all
Speaker 1: of us one day, you know what. That's a great idea,
Speaker 1: and it's a good week for it by week, but
Speaker 1: it is dear season, so you might be veterans. Choose
Speaker 1: v A for the benefits you've earned. Visit choose dot
Speaker 1: v A dot God. Let's getting out of the bad.
Speaker 1: Just health Injury Report, changing healthcare for Good, and take
Speaker 1: a look at just some of the names urban Meyer
Speaker 1: talked about earlier this week, Ben Bartsch with a concussion,
Speaker 1: Tyson Campbell with a toe issue, Miles Jack with a
Speaker 1: back injury. He expects those three to be back and
Speaker 1: available next week when practice begins. He said that on Monday,
Speaker 1: there are officially six players on injured reserve right now
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars, of course, d J. Chark with a
Speaker 1: fractured leg, deep Brandon Lender with a knee and ankle issue,
Speaker 1: A J. Can with a knee issue, James of Shaughnessy
Speaker 1: still on their traves. E. T. N of course, and
Speaker 1: Terry Godwin. But um, you know, we'll see what what
Speaker 1: happens with the first three of that list. Shark, Lender Can,
Speaker 1: especially over the weeks ahead. Uh Truck might be a
Speaker 1: little bit Lender. You just don't know. So UM, there
Speaker 1: you have it. That's the Baptist Health Injury Report, Changing
Speaker 1: health Care for Good. It would be nice to get
Speaker 1: uh you know, I will say, look that I think
Speaker 1: this team has been pretty fortunate overall. I mean, if
Speaker 1: you look at the guys that are on that injury report,
Speaker 1: what's the if you could have one guy back? Can
Speaker 1: we put that list back up again? If you could
Speaker 1: have one guy back out of all of that list
Speaker 1: on the injured reserve stuff on the reserve, Okay, I
Speaker 1: would take who take? I would take either. I mean, honestly,
Speaker 1: I'd take either Chark or e t N. Playmaker speed
Speaker 1: guy I would take. I mean, you wouldn't take Lender
Speaker 1: you got shot, Lee played well, Okay, it's an interesting question,
Speaker 1: but I mean as far as explosive playmakers, I'm taking
Speaker 1: e t N. Yeah. That yeah, that's what I was saying.
Speaker 1: We haven't seen e t N, but that was the idea.
Speaker 1: He was going to be that guy for me. I mean,
Speaker 1: the top three guys I think would be Lender, Chart
Speaker 1: and e t N. And you sit there and you
Speaker 1: go to give a young quarterback easy completions and a
Speaker 1: guy that literally can be a home run threat every
Speaker 1: time he touches the ball. Travis Eton would be one
Speaker 1: of those guys, and then you say, well, you know
Speaker 1: what to make the young quarterback comfortable. I want to
Speaker 1: have my veteran center. And then you say, okay, well
Speaker 1: I want to see a vertical element to this offense
Speaker 1: because we haven't seen a lot of that. Maybe it
Speaker 1: would be d J. H. Harton, but uh yeah, I
Speaker 1: would probably take E. T. N. Let's take a look
Speaker 1: at the a f C South standings. As you might expect, well,
Speaker 1: the Tennessee has kind of pulled away. They got a
Speaker 1: big win last night. Of course, they are ahead of Indianapolis.
Speaker 1: Tennessee now four and two Indy two and four, Houston
Speaker 1: one and five Jaguars one in five Houston as the
Speaker 1: tiebreaker with the win over the Jaguars back in week
Speaker 1: number one. The results of Week six in the a
Speaker 1: f C South, of course, you know, the Jaguars got
Speaker 1: their first victory and snapped a twenty game losing skid
Speaker 1: with a win over the Miami Dolphins. The Colts blasted
Speaker 1: the Texans thirty one to three. Jonathan Taylor had a
Speaker 1: big day forty five yards, a lot of that on
Speaker 1: a big run, two touchdown carries in the game when
Speaker 1: Darius Leonard wasn't very active on the defensive side, the
Speaker 1: linebacker seven tackles, a quarterback, hit, an interception, and a
Speaker 1: force bumble. That's a good day at the office. And
Speaker 1: then he is a very good player at linebacker there
Speaker 1: at Indy. And then last night a fantastic football game
Speaker 1: the Titans and the Bills. Tennessee wins at one. The
Speaker 1: Bills try to sneak it on fourth down, but Josh
Speaker 1: Allen slipped and fell down short and the game was over.
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry did not slip much in the game. Hundred
Speaker 1: forty three yards, including a seventy six yard touchdown, and
Speaker 1: two other scores in the game for Henry, the league's
Speaker 1: leading rushers, so the Titans are in command of the South.
Speaker 1: Rick Henry is awesome. I mean literally, Uh you know
Speaker 1: when they say when Tara Lownes had that statement years ago,
Speaker 1: he said, get your popcorn ready? Okay, yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: that's that's a guy that's worth the price of admission
Speaker 1: to watch. And there's not many running backs in the
Speaker 1: league that I would say that about. I mean, really
Speaker 1: I wouldn't, but I think he is absolutely worth the
Speaker 1: cost of a ticket to watch him. That's how good
Speaker 1: he is. You know, It's it's a quarterback league now,
Speaker 1: and I get that. I mean, here's a guy that's
Speaker 1: carrying a team on his back and in a quarterback league.
Speaker 1: If they keep winning games, he's got to be in
Speaker 1: the m v P conversation. Oh yes, absolutely, you know,
Speaker 1: I mean absolutely what he's doing in the numbers he's
Speaker 1: putting up. If if he ends up surpassing, which he's
Speaker 1: well on his way to do it, if he stays
Speaker 1: healthy and he and he surpasses two thousand yards rushing,
Speaker 1: he will be the only player in NFL history to
Speaker 1: surpass two thousand yards rushing and back to back seasons.
Speaker 1: Think about that for a minute. Some of the greatness
Speaker 1: that we've seen in the NFL's history with Walter Payton
Speaker 1: and and and Emmett and Dickerson, I mean, all these greats,
Speaker 1: and here's a guy it's just in a in a
Speaker 1: game that has changed to be more has seen oriented.
Speaker 1: He's ripping it. It's just it's impressive to watch. And
Speaker 1: I and I here here's the other thing. Everything we've
Speaker 1: heard about Derrick Henry, and first of all, he's you know,
Speaker 1: from just up the road. We've heard and we we
Speaker 1: always talked to different people, you know, we talked to
Speaker 1: the folks in Tennessee and different people in Tennessee and
Speaker 1: different people that work with the organization, and they have
Speaker 1: said nothing but great things about them. And that's a
Speaker 1: that's a real that's a real positive. And and you
Speaker 1: hear the same kind of things about James Robinson as
Speaker 1: far as the quality of person that he is. And
Speaker 1: you've got to have that quality to have a chance
Speaker 1: at being being a great running back or a great
Speaker 1: player period. So it's just I'm not trying to draw
Speaker 1: comparison between James Robinson Derrick Henry. I mean, this is
Speaker 1: this is I think in two different stratospheres. Derek is
Speaker 1: in his own in his own world. Yeah, he could
Speaker 1: score from anywhere on the field. He could probably he
Speaker 1: could probably even hit my curve blizz ball. I don't
Speaker 1: know if he can do that. Who can do that?
Speaker 1: Let's get serious, he was really going to do that.
Speaker 1: I don't even couldn't touch it. I got I got
Speaker 1: a bad should one day, you know. Yet now the
Speaker 1: excuses start to come out, that's just fine. Uh, We're
Speaker 1: gonna be back in just a minute. On the Jaguars
Speaker 1: Radio network, head coach Urban Meyer joins us on the
Speaker 1: Urban Meyers show will get his thoughts about the last
Speaker 1: Sunday's game, the Jaguars first win, they hadn't won in
Speaker 1: a long long time, and it was Urban meyers first
Speaker 1: win as an NFL head coach. We'll get his thoughts
Speaker 1: on the field, goals, his thoughts when the balls were
Speaker 1: in the air for Matthew Right and weaving and ducking
Speaker 1: and diving and all that that happened, all the close
Speaker 1: calls and everything in that game in London. In last
Speaker 1: week's game, and looking ahead to the bye week as well,
Speaker 1: we'll talk a lot of offense, Trevor Lawrence's development, what
Speaker 1: the defense has done and could do better in parts,
Speaker 1: and what the bye week has in store. The Jaguars
Speaker 1: are in the building today and expected to be in
Speaker 1: tomorrow as well. That's all coming up. The Urban Meyers
Speaker 1: Show is Next Star. Thanks to Josh Scobee, Joe Fortunado,
