Speaker 1: Own this thing. It's ours. Come on, let's go Walt
Speaker 1: County and nine o four, Let's own this stadium. Make
Speaker 1: it hours. Welcome to the Urban Meyers Show Show. Former
Speaker 1: Jaguar Jeff Loghman and J. P. Shadrick discussed the latest
Speaker 1: Jaguars news with the head coach. The Urban Meyers Show
Speaker 1: starts right now. Welcome into the Urban Meyers Show, presented
Speaker 1: by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
Speaker 1: JP Shadrick with Jeff Lockman, The Jaguars and the Houston
Speaker 1: Texans coming up this Sunday one o'clock at NRG Stadium
Speaker 1: in Houston. It is finally, at long last, here, what
Speaker 1: an offseason it's been. Urban Meyer hired free agency money
Speaker 1: flying out the door. They're still have the most cat
Speaker 1: buddy in the league right now, by the way, the Jaguars,
Speaker 1: but they did spend a lot and the number one
Speaker 1: overall pick. They had another first round pick. Unfortunately he's
Speaker 1: not available. Off season program here we go to training camp,
Speaker 1: free see season and finally, at long last, regular season
Speaker 1: football is here. Finally, finally, by the way, I saw
Speaker 1: Travis c Tienne on he had a he had the
Speaker 1: Liz Frank injury. And he was on a little scooter
Speaker 1: you know where you you put the one leg up
Speaker 1: like on the on the little bicycle seat and then
Speaker 1: you scooch with the good foot, right. I saw him
Speaker 1: going around and if it's good to see him look
Speaker 1: like he was, you know, in good spirits and all
Speaker 1: that kind of sit. Hopefully he's back and ready for two.
Speaker 1: That's he's done for the year. This year, this is
Speaker 1: it's like it's like getting a Christmas present and being
Speaker 1: told that you can't open it until next year. At
Speaker 1: some point. Just get back healthy and be But but
Speaker 1: you know, we had we had two really big presents
Speaker 1: under the tree. Okay, one of them was Travis c. Tienne, right,
Speaker 1: But the real big one, what's the first overall, And
Speaker 1: that's the one you couldn't open until Christmas. They wouldn't
Speaker 1: let you open that one early, like usually maybe the
Speaker 1: week of Christmas. Hey can I open this President, No,
Speaker 1: you gotta wait. This is when you open that presient
Speaker 1: And Trevor Lawrence will make his NFL debut this Sunday
Speaker 1: against the Houston Texans, and I'm curious the approach with
Speaker 1: him in this offense. Early do you manage it early.
Speaker 1: Do you run the ball a little bit more and
Speaker 1: give him some high percentage shorter throws to get him
Speaker 1: in the game flow a bit, or do you just
Speaker 1: let it rip right out of the gate. I think
Speaker 1: you go back and you look at Dallas and that
Speaker 1: you're saying, Okay, that's that's kind of the flavor the
Speaker 1: tempo that we want with our young quarterback. Start early,
Speaker 1: easy completions, get the ball out of his hands, run
Speaker 1: the ball effectively. And then when we run the ball effectively, okay,
Speaker 1: now we can start taking a look a little bit
Speaker 1: farther down the field. But I think it's critical because
Speaker 1: you know, on an opening game, and and this goes
Speaker 1: for college, little league, for heaven's sakes, high school football,
Speaker 1: the first game always has that that intensity of motion.
Speaker 1: It's all kind of boiling to the bubbling to the top.
Speaker 1: And so sometimes it's you want to get some of
Speaker 1: this stuff. Do you want to calm down a little bit?
Speaker 1: You know, you don't want to come YEA yeah. I
Speaker 1: mean you know your your heart rates it one sixty
Speaker 1: and you haven't even done anything yet, you know, So
Speaker 1: you need sometimes to have a couple of things to
Speaker 1: maybe let the blood pressure come down, to slow the
Speaker 1: heart rate a little bit, to kind of to let
Speaker 1: everything just kind of subside and then kind of get
Speaker 1: into that rhythm. But but I think it's it's gonna
Speaker 1: be imperative with the young quarterback to have success running
Speaker 1: the football. And I think the Texans are gonna say
Speaker 1: take the much the same approach, not because they have
Speaker 1: a young quarterback, but because they have a quarterback who
Speaker 1: has been a journeyman. But the Jaguars having a young
Speaker 1: quarterback and a lot of people say, well, you know,
Speaker 1: he's never been at the NFL level and it's how
Speaker 1: style environment. Yeah, okay, great play Clemson. He's been in
Speaker 1: some environment. He's ready for He's ready for this moment.
Speaker 1: So you want to do some things to help have
Speaker 1: early success, but you don't want to overdo it and
Speaker 1: handcuff him and not will not let him be him.
Speaker 1: Let's get to this running attack. And obviously the coaching
Speaker 1: staff and and personnel folks are confident in the offensive line.
Speaker 1: All five of the strutters are back at the beginning
Speaker 1: of this season. They've got a veteran backup center and
Speaker 1: Tyler Shatley. They've got two youngsters at guard and tackle
Speaker 1: that they're really trying to develop is behind the starting group.
Speaker 1: So I feel like that's probably gotta be the strongest
Speaker 1: offense or strongest position group I think on the entire
Speaker 1: team right now, because of all the veteran players they
Speaker 1: have at that group that they brought everybody back for
Speaker 1: a reason. Well, that's that reason is they think they
Speaker 1: can run the football. So that's what that was the purpose.
Speaker 1: But it is that going to be the case. Only
Speaker 1: one way to find out what you have to prove
Speaker 1: that and you have to earn that. And so when
Speaker 1: you say, you know, is it the strong scroup, I
Speaker 1: mean physically like weight room struggles, I mean just in
Speaker 1: terms of depth, And I get what you're saying, and
Speaker 1: that you know your expectation was that, Okay, we have
Speaker 1: a young quarterback and even though he's the first overall
Speaker 1: pick of the draft, many bee him as a generational player.
Speaker 1: We still have to help belong and run football on. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's fine, but you have to still do that and
Speaker 1: you have to get better as an offensive line group.
Speaker 1: Can they do that? Well? You'd like to be able
Speaker 1: to kind of reflect back at the preseason and say, well,
Speaker 1: you could see where they got better. But you didn't
Speaker 1: have that moment in the preseason because a lot of
Speaker 1: guys were dinged up or not playing. So can they
Speaker 1: do it? I think that's gonna be one of the
Speaker 1: biggest tests. I think the quarterback and his completion percentage
Speaker 1: and his ability to make people better will help them.
Speaker 1: I think, honestly, I think that's gonna be. You know,
Speaker 1: we talk a lot about the offensive line helping a
Speaker 1: young quarterback, and that is true. You want the offensive
Speaker 1: line to help him by running the ball effectively, but
Speaker 1: there are also needs to be helped provided to the
Speaker 1: offensive line from the quarterback. And I think that's a
Speaker 1: two way street. And I think it will happen because
Speaker 1: I think so highly of Trevor Lawrence and I think
Speaker 1: that he is going to be an absolute joy to watch.
Speaker 1: I can't wait it. This is the most anticipated moment
Speaker 1: in Jaguars franchise history in my opinion, Name me another
Speaker 1: besides besides the first game in NFL history, Okay, in
Speaker 1: Jaguar's history where Houston came to Jacksonville. In name me
Speaker 1: a more anticipated moment in this franchise's history. I can't,
Speaker 1: at least in the ten seasons I've been here. I
Speaker 1: can't know. Maybe the a f C Championship game playoff game, right,
Speaker 1: But besides that game, okay, which we lost up in
Speaker 1: New England and which we lost. I wasn't a part
Speaker 1: of that team to the Tennessee Titans here in the
Speaker 1: a C champion game. Besides those two Patriots back a
Speaker 1: few years ago. Sometimes besides those three losses. Where where else?
Speaker 1: What else compares? Nothing, nothing compares. And so that's why
Speaker 1: this moment I believe that it's something that I mean,
Speaker 1: get your popcorn ready, okay, set your DVR, or do
Speaker 1: whatever it is that you gotta do, because this is
Speaker 1: a big moment franchise history. This is a big moment
Speaker 1: in the city of Jacksonville's history. I mean, you've got
Speaker 1: you've got what many view as a generational franchise quarterback
Speaker 1: that's making his first start ever. And is this the
Speaker 1: moment that we look back on and we say, this
Speaker 1: change the destiny of the franchise. You might want to
Speaker 1: save the DVR on your TV if you're watching it
Speaker 1: and you do that, I don't even know how to
Speaker 1: do that. Well, that's what it's designed to do, is
Speaker 1: I don't know how long can you download it? If
Speaker 1: the DVR crashes, do you lose it? Can we get
Speaker 1: some some of our production folks in here to give
Speaker 1: us a heads up on that. Can you put in
Speaker 1: an s D card in the DVR and save it?
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just pro posterity. You need it
Speaker 1: because this is going to be a big moment. That's
Speaker 1: not our area of expertise. No, but we'll come back
Speaker 1: and get into an area that is for you. At
Speaker 1: least that's the defensive side of the football. What will

Speaker 1: Back to Your Mere Show continues presented by the Florida
Speaker 1: Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles JP Shadrick with
Speaker 1: Jeff log Hman the Jaguars in the Houston Texans in
Speaker 1: week one, coming up, the Jags on the road to
Speaker 1: begin we two. They'll be home for the home opener
Speaker 1: against the Denver Broncos. Well this this Sunday, by the way,
Speaker 1: the Packers in the Saints will play at t i
Speaker 1: A A Bank Buield at a four kickoff time and
Speaker 1: we'll get to see some of that. Well, yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: be on post game radio, uh doing our local call
Speaker 1: in show, the scoreboards show on our flagship stations to XL.
Speaker 1: That should be over by about the second middle of
Speaker 1: the second quarter maybe and you should you should be
Speaker 1: able to get a medium pass and then stairs Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers versus Jameis Winston right here tickets are available
Speaker 1: by which is which is way cool? And And if
Speaker 1: and if and if I were a Jaguars fan, would
Speaker 1: I think would be a great way to spend a
Speaker 1: Sunday would be to come down here. If the gates
Speaker 1: would open up at one o'clock, watch the game. I
Speaker 1: understand it. The Daily's place will be open one o'clock.
Speaker 1: I'd be Awso that's cool. And then stick around and
Speaker 1: watch Aaron Rodgers. I mean, it's one of the great
Speaker 1: players in the NFL. And how many more years will
Speaker 1: he be playing for the Green Bay Packers You don't know.
Speaker 1: And it's obviously the debut of Jameis Winston as the
Speaker 1: starter for the New Orleans Saints. I think that would
Speaker 1: be pretty cool. There are Saints graphics and words and
Speaker 1: fluor to lee all over the field right now. They
Speaker 1: painted the field today and Saints colors, so that all
Speaker 1: coming up this Sunday as well. Let's get to the
Speaker 1: Jaguars defense. We we know about the New on the
Speaker 1: Jaguars offense, and there's you know, looking at it, there
Speaker 1: could be eight starters back on offense this year, by
Speaker 1: the way, from that one in fifteen team a year ago.
Speaker 1: The big difference is the quarterback. But it's a different
Speaker 1: story on defense, a lot of new especially in the
Speaker 1: interior of the defensive line logs, the new linebacker as well,
Speaker 1: and Damian Wilson will hear from him coming up in
Speaker 1: the public stailgate show him, by the way, I really
Speaker 1: like Damien Wilson. And then you've got almost a full
Speaker 1: revamped secondary in the back end too, so a new coordinator,
Speaker 1: new scheme, all this is new. What in the world
Speaker 1: is this going to look like on Sunday. I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna look really good. I believe that because of
Speaker 1: the matchup of the Houston Texans offense. I think the
Speaker 1: Houston Texans offense with Tyrod Taylor and no Deshaun Watson,
Speaker 1: are going to come out and try to run the ball,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna stay committed to running the football, and
Speaker 1: that plays to what this defense is built to handle,
Speaker 1: which is a strong running attack. If you go back
Speaker 1: and you look at the preseason, the Jaguars defense had
Speaker 1: no problem whatsoever handling the running attack of the opponent. Now, look,
Speaker 1: they didn't have some starters playing in a lot of cases,
Speaker 1: and I get that, but being committed to the run
Speaker 1: as a mindset, and the Jaguars are clearly committed to it,
Speaker 1: and they made a huge commitment in the all season
Speaker 1: and free agency by bringing in better players, and that
Speaker 1: will help the addition of guys by the name of
Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown, the development of Devon Hamilton, uh Roy Robertson Harris,
Speaker 1: and then you add Damian Wilson in there at the linebacker,
Speaker 1: another bloody or nose linebacker to pair with Miles Jack.
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys can handle that. So I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough sledding for the Houston Texans. And
Speaker 1: then you have also a safety that can play down
Speaker 1: in the box and Ray Shawn Jenkins, who did it
Speaker 1: very well by the way against the Cowboys. There's a
Speaker 1: little bit of intrigue as far as who's going to
Speaker 1: be the other starting safety, and my mind, I would
Speaker 1: stuff I have a choice between Wingered and Cisco. I'm
Speaker 1: going with Andre Cisco. I'm committing to the I'm committing
Speaker 1: to the rookie because I think he gives something that
Speaker 1: you didn't get in the preseason. Takeaways. You didn't get
Speaker 1: one in the preseason. Compare that with the Texans, who
Speaker 1: their defensive coordinators Levy Smith and widely respected, doesn't do
Speaker 1: a whole lot of fancy things, but the one thing
Speaker 1: he has always emphasized is takeaways. They had like nine
Speaker 1: last year for the season the Texans dead. Yeah, in
Speaker 1: the preseason alone, the Texans had ten's I mean that
Speaker 1: is I mean they had ten. The Jaguars didn't have one.
Speaker 1: So my point with Cisco is is that that's where
Speaker 1: you need to improve on that you didn't really do
Speaker 1: a great job of in the preseason with those impact
Speaker 1: plays where you affected the quarterback and may takeaways or
Speaker 1: created turnovers for your defense. That's something that was missing.
Speaker 1: That's something that has to get better. It starts with
Speaker 1: pass rush though. I mean, you're gonna get those balls
Speaker 1: in the back end, then you gotta kind of get
Speaker 1: home at some point, stop the run, force those passing situations,
Speaker 1: and get that pass rush going on the outside. Josh Allen,
Speaker 1: Caleb and Chason guys like that. That's uh, it's time
Speaker 1: to get that moving again, Well you hope, you hope.
Speaker 1: I mean that's that that's gonna be the challenge. I mean, really,
Speaker 1: that's that's the challenge for this defense this year. It's
Speaker 1: hard to go out in free agency and say, Okay,
Speaker 1: we're gonna sign this guy because he is a great
Speaker 1: pass rusher. I mean, how many great pass rushers have
Speaker 1: you been able to acquire in free ace? I mean,
Speaker 1: Clay's Campbell doesn't just there's not ten of them walking
Speaker 1: around the street where you can just acquire them at
Speaker 1: any time, you know. So it's it's a very unique
Speaker 1: situation to be able to do that in free agency,
Speaker 1: and in free agency this year there were not a
Speaker 1: lot of those types. But the types that they got
Speaker 1: were good, solid, strong run defenders that are gonna make
Speaker 1: a defense get better and stop in the run to
Speaker 1: give yourself a chance in passing down. Those are the
Speaker 1: players that they were able to acquire. So Josh Allen
Speaker 1: caleban chas On jahad Ward has shown shown some flashes,
Speaker 1: but never has had a lot of big numbers. Roy
Speaker 1: Robertson Harris needs to continue to develop and and start
Speaker 1: to reach a higher level of play that he is
Speaker 1: is He's capable now. But that's where it needs to
Speaker 1: come from. The edges have got to be able to
Speaker 1: to force a lot of things for this defense if
Speaker 1: they're gonna generate a dominant pass rush. Let's come back
Speaker 1: in a moment. Plenty more ahead the first edition of
Speaker 1: the Urban Meyers Show on Jaguars Radio. This is iced
Speaker 1: Tea Stone Coast, Steve Austin and Attie Ice. I convinced
Speaker 1: the NFL teams to turn to cold water washing with
Speaker 1: Todd the NFL, your uniforms get dirty. Tide can handle
Speaker 1: it even in cold. Plus, if fans join in, they
Speaker 1: can save up to a hundred and fifty dollars on
Speaker 1: their energy bill. Looks like you just made the team.
Speaker 1: Rookie turned the cold with Tid And that's the bottom line.
Speaker 1: It's got to be tied energy saving based on averages
Speaker 1: twitching from hot to cold and non ag machines. So
Speaker 1: it's happy hour. Let's talk whiskey options. Have you tried
Speaker 1: Citrus Distillers? Have you tried Citrus Distillers limited edition barrel

Speaker 1: The Urban Meyers Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network.
Speaker 1: We're back. Glad you're along with us on the Urban
Speaker 1: Meyers Show. J P. Shadrick with Jaguars analyst Jeff Logan.
Speaker 1: The Jaguars in the Houston Texans coming up this Sunday
Speaker 1: and Jaguars Game Day broadcasts are presented by by Star
Speaker 1: Credit Union. Shawn Watson is still a member of the
Speaker 1: Houston Texans, but he will not be participating in this
Speaker 1: weekend's football game against the Jaguars. In that situation has
Speaker 1: been topsy and turvy. To save the least, then it
Speaker 1: has been crazy. I mean really, I mean, the the
Speaker 1: whole situation is crazy. I mean, you have an all
Speaker 1: season to where he wasn't included in the conversations about
Speaker 1: who is going to be hired as the next general
Speaker 1: manager Jack Easter. By that whole thing came to light.
Speaker 1: I think it was an article by Sports Illustrated. Uh
Speaker 1: just I mean the craziness that was happening in Houston. Well,
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, they hire a new coach
Speaker 1: and then the civil and criminal allegations against DeShawn Watson happened.
Speaker 1: So sorry, Oh, the general manager that comes from the
Speaker 1: Patriots comes in and they're telling people were you know,
Speaker 1: they're not really giving them any update on what are
Speaker 1: they gonna do with Deshaun Watson, and they're trying to
Speaker 1: trade him. And Deshaun Watson is there, he has a
Speaker 1: ten and a half million dollar salary and he's not practicing.
Speaker 1: He's not playing. One of the most interesting questions will
Speaker 1: be on Sunday from the Houston Texans perspective. Where's Deshaun
Speaker 1: Watson gonna watch the game? From? About that? And they're
Speaker 1: gonna let him on the sideline? Is he'll be an
Speaker 1: active officially? Yeah, they've already said that he's gonna be inactive,
Speaker 1: and they're you know, they're trying to trade him. They're
Speaker 1: trying to to gain what is reported of being three
Speaker 1: first round picks and maybe a couple of seconds or
Speaker 1: maybe a second in there with it, and of course
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna trade for a quarterback who has some criminal
Speaker 1: civil litigation that's pending, and so it's just it's like
Speaker 1: it's everything is just put on hold, and they're just
Speaker 1: gonna pay him ten and a half million dollars for
Speaker 1: one of the best quarterbacks in the league to not
Speaker 1: play this year, which is it's just awkward. And then
Speaker 1: to add to the Texans awkwardness. I mean, so with
Speaker 1: the Jackie Easterby thing, that Deshaun Watson, you go back
Speaker 1: last year, they trade away arguably the league's best receiver,
Speaker 1: and then just this week they put their kicker on
Speaker 1: i R and they signed a guy to the practice squad,
Speaker 1: Joey Sly, who probably will have to kick for you
Speaker 1: this week. And then you trade your best cornerback and
Speaker 1: Bradley Roby, who you just signed last year, you trade
Speaker 1: him to the New Orleans Saints and you pay you
Speaker 1: pay seven million of his eight and change eight million
Speaker 1: and change salary to ship him off to the New
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints and get a third round pick. So you
Speaker 1: essentially paid seven million in cash to get a third
Speaker 1: round pick. I mean, the craziness if you're a Houston
Speaker 1: Texans fan right now, Man, you're going through some stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean, and and right be a nice way to
Speaker 1: put it, right, I will say this. I mean, we've
Speaker 1: been at least around here on that end of things,
Speaker 1: not quite to that the losses of the extreme lows,
Speaker 1: let's say that. Not quite as weird as some of
Speaker 1: that stuff, obviously, But um, and the Texans have been
Speaker 1: at the top of the division for a long time,
Speaker 1: and they've been on top of this Jaguars team for
Speaker 1: about fifteen years. Well they've been They've certainly better disorganization.
Speaker 1: I mean, the record speaks for itself. Right, the Texans
Speaker 1: have had great success against the Jaguars. But and so
Speaker 1: in some ways, it's almost a little you gain a
Speaker 1: little bit of pleasure from watching the dysfunction in Houston.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, it doesn't feel good unless you
Speaker 1: beat him, right, I Mean, you talk about all the
Speaker 1: level of dysfunction that they have in Houston, but if
Speaker 1: they beat you, that's the same old story there. At
Speaker 1: that point, all this was going on here, so it's
Speaker 1: it's gonna be And and look, I think David Culley
Speaker 1: was the right coach for the situation. In Houston to
Speaker 1: be able to handle some of this, because I mean,
Speaker 1: that's not an easy thing to handle, and Caul he's
Speaker 1: got a lot of respect around the league, and then
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor being a true professional, might have been the
Speaker 1: best option. So even though there's a lot of questions
Speaker 1: about the Texans and many people's claimed them to be
Speaker 1: a dumpster fire, they have made some good moves and namely,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, that the naming of the coach, and
Speaker 1: then also bringing in Tyrod Taylor, who is a true professional,
Speaker 1: and that his reputation is impeccable from around the league.
Speaker 1: The way he handled the situations that he was putting
Speaker 1: in different places. I mean, you go back and you
Speaker 1: think about how he handled the situation in Buffalo, how
Speaker 1: he handled the situation with the Chargers, how he handled
Speaker 1: the situation with Cleveland. I mean, he's one of the
Speaker 1: I have so much respect for Tyrod Taylor for the
Speaker 1: true professional that he has shown to be in the
Speaker 1: National Football League, but that doesn't make him a great quarterback.
Speaker 1: Battle through stuck around the league and as now finding
Speaker 1: an opportunity down in Houston, let's take a time out,
Speaker 1: bloody more ahead. It is the opening edition of the
Speaker 1: Urban Meyers Show on the Jaguars Radio Network. Jaguars fans,

Speaker 1: The Urban Meyer Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network.
Speaker 1: Really comfortable, I mean, I'm excited about his progress. And
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's been a daily thing and its
Speaker 1: still as a daily, daily deal for him. Um, he
Speaker 1: puts a lot of effort and time into it. He
Speaker 1: really works his tail off. You know, there's there's so
Speaker 1: much that the quarterback has to do, and we take
Speaker 1: off of him as much as you can, you know,
Speaker 1: we gotta. We're very fortunate that we have a veteran center,
Speaker 1: you know, in Brandon Linder, who can take some of
Speaker 1: that stuff off of him, but you know, ultimately always
Speaker 1: falls back on the quarterback. So where he's at right now,
Speaker 1: I'm really excited about. That's Darrell Bevil, the offensive coordinator,
Speaker 1: speaking today and speaking about Trevor Lawrence, who as the
Speaker 1: preseason went along, got a little better and then the
Speaker 1: final time out against Dallas week three of the preseason
Speaker 1: eleven and twelve, passing a couple of touchdowns and welcome back.
Speaker 1: This is the Urban Meyer Show j P. Shadrick with
Speaker 1: Jeff Logerman and Darryl Bebel speaking today. He was the
Speaker 1: interim head coach in Detroit last year. He's been an
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator in the league for a long long time,
Speaker 1: so he understands how to get ready for a season,
Speaker 1: and he's worked with a lot of big name quarterbacks
Speaker 1: in the past. I'm I'm interested to see what this
Speaker 1: thing looks and feels like with him his influence certainly
Speaker 1: Brian Schottenheimer working alongside Urban Meyers in the lab with
Speaker 1: him too, don't don't mistake that. And then Trevor Lawrence,
Speaker 1: I'm sure has a say in this whole thing also,
Speaker 1: but that that give that's part of what urban Meyer
Speaker 1: I wanted to do when he was putting the staff together.
Speaker 1: Have a mix of some college coaches that he knew
Speaker 1: from the past or had relationships with somebody that's strong.
Speaker 1: He knew them for some of the position groups, but
Speaker 1: when it comes to coordinators, I think he really wanted
Speaker 1: to go after NFL type guys. And Darryl Bevil is
Speaker 1: a guy who's been around for a long time. Well,
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of respect and he's worked with
Speaker 1: some of the best quarterbacks in the league. And I
Speaker 1: think that's one of the main reasons why that he
Speaker 1: was hired, because when you have a young quarterback, you
Speaker 1: want to make sure that you give that young quarterback
Speaker 1: all the tools that you can. And Bevil and Schottenheimer
Speaker 1: are both considered high end quarterback mentors, and that's what
Speaker 1: it's all about. I mean, you can't draft somebody first
Speaker 1: overall and then not provide the best people around that
Speaker 1: talent to give him the best chance to succeed. And
Speaker 1: so that that I think was was one of the
Speaker 1: smartest moves that he made on his staff. Let's come
Speaker 1: back in a moment. We'll hear from head coach Urban
Speaker 1: Meyer on the Urban Meyers Show on Jaguar's Radio. Jaguars

Speaker 1: Urban Meyer Show, presented by the Florida Department of Highway
Speaker 1: Safety and Motor Vehicles JP Shadrick, Jeff Logman alongside and
Speaker 1: we welcome head coach Urban Meyer on the program. Welcome
Speaker 1: to your show, coach. How's it going. It good to
Speaker 1: be with you, guys. It's going very well, Irban. This
Speaker 1: week the Houston Texans in much like they facing you,
Speaker 1: you're facing them with a staff that's got a lot
Speaker 1: of newness to it. How much does that kind of
Speaker 1: play into your game plan this week with some maybe
Speaker 1: things that will be unknown in the opening week. I think,
Speaker 1: regardless of the coaching staff, the first the first few weeks.
Speaker 1: I know this that way in college and uh, the
Speaker 1: research I've done is that way in the NFL because
Speaker 1: everybody spends their off season. If it's an established staff,
Speaker 1: they're always trying to find new things in new ways
Speaker 1: to do things. And then obviously it's new coaching staff.
Speaker 1: You know, there's all there's a complete NEWNIST offense, defensive kicking,
Speaker 1: so you have to be somewhat prepared for the unknown.
Speaker 1: But there's also great tendencies, you know, when you look,
Speaker 1: for example, at the Houston Texans, Lovey Smith is pretty
Speaker 1: standard what he does. And by the way, he's really
Speaker 1: good at what he does. That's very uh not at
Speaker 1: you know, there's certain defenses you face are all over
Speaker 1: the planet. He's not. You know. They believe in great effort,
Speaker 1: great technique, creating turnovers and stopping what you do well.
Speaker 1: And that's been his history. I coached against him when
Speaker 1: he's at Illinois, and then our other coaches have coached
Speaker 1: against him and done his research, so that that's the
Speaker 1: kind of stuff you look for, Rebin. We know about
Speaker 1: your attention to detail. You talked about it earlier this
Speaker 1: week in the plan ends in the tip sheets, not
Speaker 1: in the eyes, crossing the teas and everything. How much
Speaker 1: of an adjustment is that for your assistant coaches that
Speaker 1: maybe have not worked with you before, to get used
Speaker 1: to your method of preparation. And at what point do
Speaker 1: you put it down and say, you know what, we're ready,
Speaker 1: We're ready for one oh five pm on Sunday. I
Speaker 1: think it was an adjustment. I think you'd have to
Speaker 1: ask our coaches. But it's uh, you know, I believe
Speaker 1: in doing things a certain way, and you know I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it's maybe a lot different
Speaker 1: than the NFL, but from what I witnessed it, it
Speaker 1: has been I've learned a lot from our former players.
Speaker 1: I want to make it user friendly. You know, when
Speaker 1: I hear, well, he's a pro. Yeah, you know, Brendan
Speaker 1: Lennar is a pro. So is Andrew Norwell, but d J. Shark, Laviska,
Speaker 1: James Robinson, and then all our rookies. Those guys are
Speaker 1: young players. You know, they're young players. So I don't
Speaker 1: want to hear a whole lot about well, they're you know,
Speaker 1: they're pros. Yes, they're pros, and they get paid for
Speaker 1: what they do. But it's our job to have them
Speaker 1: ready and make it I use the term user friendly.
Speaker 1: One of the things that I'm most looking forward to
Speaker 1: your young quarterback. You know, you watch him out throughout
Speaker 1: the preseason. You see how he handles himself. You hear
Speaker 1: some of the glowing comments coming from you urban from
Speaker 1: your coaching staff that he's ready for this. That's got
Speaker 1: to be an exciting moment to be able to coach
Speaker 1: a young quarterback like Trevor Lawrence in his first game ever. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so excited, and I was. I'm very excited to see him.
Speaker 1: We all were against Dallas. You know, the first game
Speaker 1: we just didn't play much, We didn't do much, and
Speaker 1: I think he only got two series and then and
Speaker 1: really disappointed against the Saints. You know, not with Trevor.
Speaker 1: Just overall, we didn't move the ball, we're throwing out,
Speaker 1: We tried to establish the run and didn't. And then,
Speaker 1: you know, it's amazing. One thing I'm still getting used
Speaker 1: to just how fast these games go. You know, you
Speaker 1: only get sixties some plays the clock. You know, it
Speaker 1: seems like it never stops. So we really worked hard
Speaker 1: to get him success against the Dallas Cowboys, and he
Speaker 1: did and he you know, he felt good about himself.
Speaker 1: That position is so unique. You guys know that that.
Speaker 1: You know, you got to get some confidence, you gotta
Speaker 1: get rhythm in a quarterback. Oh so important for him
Speaker 1: to gain the confidence that I'm sure that he did
Speaker 1: in Dallas. One of the things I think that's curious
Speaker 1: is that a lot of people thought maybe with Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence you would see kind of some of that Clemson
Speaker 1: all offense to read option, taking advantage of some of
Speaker 1: his mobility and incorporating that into his offense, especially the
Speaker 1: first year in the National Football League to help that
Speaker 1: adjustment period, And many people question, would you do that
Speaker 1: because it exposes him to more injury? What's your thoughts
Speaker 1: on that. The good thing about the spread option that
Speaker 1: we've done so long and so has Clempson. There's ways
Speaker 1: to do it. So he's not running, and it's called
Speaker 1: r p O s and reliefs, and he's had some
Speaker 1: success against Dallas. Some of the quick throws you see,
Speaker 1: like the lavisca that is nothing more than read option
Speaker 1: football only instead of running is throwing. So yeah, we're
Speaker 1: a very leary. You know, I've had a history of
Speaker 1: if we have a runner, which by the way, Trevor
Speaker 1: would be a phenomenal runner, but he's also, you know,
Speaker 1: the first pick in the overall draft, so shot, I'd
Speaker 1: probably get a phone call from shots that what the hell,
Speaker 1: what the heck you do one? Uh So I don't
Speaker 1: see many direct runs, but yeah, we're gonna utilize what
Speaker 1: he does well, and I try to keep my harm's way. Hey,
Speaker 1: co German wire with us on the Urban Meyers Show.
Speaker 1: All five offensive lineman available this week, and you know
Speaker 1: it's been a talking point all offseason. Everybody's back, so
Speaker 1: there's got to be confidence in them, especially in the
Speaker 1: run game, and then moving forward on this offensive line,
Speaker 1: a real strength of this offense. Yeah, top six Actually,
Speaker 1: Bartsch has come on, really, come on. You know when
Speaker 1: Andrew Nora went down, that was a little bit of
Speaker 1: a blessing in disguise because you know Andrew, who played
Speaker 1: for me at has stadis a veteran player, has been
Speaker 1: the league a long time, and to have a good
Speaker 1: solid back up there, Uh, he really developed over the
Speaker 1: last three weeks. So we feel very good about the
Speaker 1: top six. UM. I actually talked to the offense line.
Speaker 1: You know, we decided made a decision Trent and I
Speaker 1: to go with him, and you know, there was some pushback.
Speaker 1: I remember people asking and at times the offensive line
Speaker 1: did not play great last year. But in a lot
Speaker 1: of positions they didn't play great. So I don't believe
Speaker 1: it was bad players. I don't believe's bad coaching. They
Speaker 1: just didn't play for a while. So we've got to
Speaker 1: get that fixed. Um. And as far as what we're
Speaker 1: asking of them, they've been really good since we've been here.
Speaker 1: Urban will come back in a moment and flip it
Speaker 1: around to the defensive side. If you don't mind. Plenty
Speaker 1: more ahead with head coach Urban Meyer. It's the Urban

Speaker 1: Welcome Back. The Urban Meyers Show continues along the Jaguars
Speaker 1: Radio network and welcome back. This is the Urban Meyers Show.
Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick with Jeff Lagman and head Coach Urban
Speaker 1: Meyer and the Jaguars in the Houston, Texans coming up
Speaker 1: at one oh five officially Eastern Time and NRG Stadium
Speaker 1: in Houston, Texas. It's week one, kickoff weekend, and coach,
Speaker 1: it's time to unleash this Jaguars revamped defense. Joe Cullen
Speaker 1: is in his first opportunity as a defensive ordinator. Eating
Speaker 1: on him for a long time though, and he talked
Speaker 1: today about the different packages and different personnel groupings that
Speaker 1: are available in options for this Jaguars defense. I'm curious,
Speaker 1: as an offensive minded coach yourself, how challenging is that
Speaker 1: for the opposition to prepare for so many packages and
Speaker 1: groupings that a defense can throw out. Well, that was
Speaker 1: one of the reasons I hired Joe. Joe, I respect
Speaker 1: him as a coach and and I really thought I
Speaker 1: wanted him on our staff. I knew I wanted him
Speaker 1: on our staff. I've always studied the Baltimore Ravens defense.
Speaker 1: I've had great respect. You look at the lineage of
Speaker 1: who's coached in that defense over the years, tremendous coaches
Speaker 1: and their style. Is very hard to prepare for it,
Speaker 1: Like you just said, many different blitz packages, personnel groupings
Speaker 1: and you'll see everything. Uh. And then I interviewed Joe,
Speaker 1: and typical you don't want to stereotape people, but typical
Speaker 1: d line coaches are really they live in a box.
Speaker 1: They live in that defensive front, but they don't really
Speaker 1: understand the whole defense. And he kind of blew myself
Speaker 1: and Chris Ashes an interview as well, and Blue sways
Speaker 1: bars his knowledge of that defense. And that's the defense
Speaker 1: I wanted. So we went with them. And UH, to
Speaker 1: answer your question, it's very difficult urban this week you're
Speaker 1: facing a Texans offense that when you just look at
Speaker 1: the roster, anytime the team's got five running backs on
Speaker 1: the active roster, you probably can expect one thing. They're
Speaker 1: gonna come out and try to run the football against
Speaker 1: your defense. That's one of our strengths. Of the one
Speaker 1: thing you look at the what consistently happened in the
Speaker 1: preseason as we stopped the run for three straight games.
Speaker 1: You know, we we do it of ride of ways
Speaker 1: and number one as we load the box. So we're
Speaker 1: gonna put a lot of pressure on the corners. And
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons we went out and got
Speaker 1: Tyson in the draft, Tyson Campbell and Shack Griffin in
Speaker 1: free agency, and then we got Ray j Ray Sean Jenkins.
Speaker 1: We had to rebuild that back end of our defense,
Speaker 1: and because we knew that the style of defense we're
Speaker 1: gonna play, there's gonna be a lot of pressure on
Speaker 1: those guys. They've got a veteran quarterback and Tyrod Taylor,
Speaker 1: he hasn't had a whole lot of starts recently. What
Speaker 1: do you see from him and what do you expect
Speaker 1: from him? Do you go back and obviously break down
Speaker 1: the film when he was a starter Buffalo, maybe even
Speaker 1: a little bit of film from the preseason when he's
Speaker 1: with the Chargers, because there's plenty of film to watch
Speaker 1: on him. You just might have to go back quite
Speaker 1: a few years. Yeah, it's ironic. I watched a lot
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo because I interviewed a coach from that
Speaker 1: staff back when Tyrod had was exceptional, I mean had
Speaker 1: great success. It was true spread offense. And that's what
Speaker 1: scares me because I know what I thought of quarterbacks
Speaker 1: can do you know they have not run him as
Speaker 1: much of late. He's a little older now than he
Speaker 1: was with the Buffalo, but he is a guy that
Speaker 1: I've always had tremendous respect for. And any anytime a
Speaker 1: guy can hurt you with his legs, that's just historically
Speaker 1: in college and pro that's a tough guy to defend.
Speaker 1: He can do both run and throw. Watching the last
Speaker 1: preseason game that he played in, there were a couple
Speaker 1: of plays in where he extended the play, got outside
Speaker 1: the pocket, end up running. But he's been a guy
Speaker 1: that's been hurting people in the past by extending plays.
Speaker 1: And he had one play in particular, and I'm not
Speaker 1: sure if you would remembered Urban where he he gets
Speaker 1: pressure from a little et game on his right side
Speaker 1: and he gets or he gets pressure from the right
Speaker 1: tackle getting pushed in his lap, he actually jumps back,
Speaker 1: lands on his right legs, somehow ends up going all
Speaker 1: the way to his left and I just went to myself,
Speaker 1: there's not many people that are athletically on this planet
Speaker 1: that can do that. He actually looked like he got hurt.
Speaker 1: You know. I saw the play too, and I slowed
Speaker 1: it down. I thought, you know, most people would probably
Speaker 1: JP would probably blow his a c l out there.
Speaker 1: He rallied back and made a play. And so that's
Speaker 1: what that's what scares you. And that's where your discipline
Speaker 1: of your defensive line. You hear this quite often stay
Speaker 1: your rush lines. You know, there's certain quarterbacks that are
Speaker 1: statues and you can lose contain and this guy you
Speaker 1: cannot do that. You gotta stay in your rush lines. Urban,
Speaker 1: tell us about Josh Allen so far and your interactions
Speaker 1: with him and his preseason and now it is a
Speaker 1: big year for Josh now going to two year number
Speaker 1: three for him as an NFL football player. Well, we're fortunate,
Speaker 1: you know. And that's what I told a shot that
Speaker 1: one of the most appealing places. The core players are
Speaker 1: good players and they're even better people. And Josh Allen
Speaker 1: checks the box. He's a great father, a great husband,
Speaker 1: he wants to be in Jacksonville, he wants to be coached.
Speaker 1: He was two pounds now he's to sixty one to
Speaker 1: sixty two. He's strong, he's healthy. Obviously had that two
Speaker 1: week COVID where he had to sit out for two weeks,
Speaker 1: which you know, once again might be blessing where he's fresh.
Speaker 1: You know, he's ready to go rock and roll. But
Speaker 1: the correlation between work ethic, talent and being a great
Speaker 1: person pretty high, high probability. This guy is gonna be
Speaker 1: a great player. Urban, I thought, you know, you talk
Speaker 1: about Josh and you talk about great family, etcetera. And
Speaker 1: got a chance to see the video which was released
Speaker 1: on Jaguar social media where you named the captains, and
Speaker 1: I thought it was such a unique way to let
Speaker 1: the players on your roster know who the captains were
Speaker 1: by involving their families. I thought it was awesome. Where
Speaker 1: what does that come from in your history and and
Speaker 1: where did you come up with that idea of involving
Speaker 1: the family, because I think it made it an incredibly
Speaker 1: special moment for the family and the players. We like
Speaker 1: to involve our families, and I hire people around our
Speaker 1: organization and and Amy Palsi, who you guys know very well,
Speaker 1: in charge of our communications and pr She's that she
Speaker 1: came to me and she knows how I am about this.
Speaker 1: A lot of people get into coaching for a lot
Speaker 1: of reasons, and I do it because the relationship of players.
Speaker 1: And I hear well the NFL it's a business, and
Speaker 1: it certainly is a business. I get that. But the
Speaker 1: minute that player becomes, you know, number forty one to
Speaker 1: me instead of Josh Allen, I'm out of coaching. I
Speaker 1: don't want to do that anymore. I like to get
Speaker 1: to know their families. I like to know Caitlin and
Speaker 1: he just had a baby a couple of months ago,
Speaker 1: and and uh, that's what we're all about here in Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: But that was Amy Palasi's idea, idea, and the players
Speaker 1: loved it. Let's come back in a moment. One final

Speaker 1: Urban Meyer Show continues along the Jaguars Radio Network and
Speaker 1: The Urban Meyer Show is presented by the Florida Department
Speaker 1: of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. JP Shadrick with Jeff
Speaker 1: Logerman and head coach Urban Meyer on The Urban Meyer Show,
Speaker 1: the first of the campaign, The Jags in the Texans
Speaker 1: coming up this Sunday a little after one o'clock at
Speaker 1: in our g Stadium in Houston. Where is your nervousness
Speaker 1: anxiety level right now? We're a few sleeps away from kickoff. Urban,
Speaker 1: I put it on the seven eight scale, you know
Speaker 1: when it gets a little closer your nine point five
Speaker 1: nine eight. But I'm all built about what kind of
Speaker 1: practice we had and you got me any good mood
Speaker 1: today because we had an excellent practice. Cloud Cover came
Speaker 1: over at one talking to Brandon Linder and remember that
Speaker 1: from the Gamesville days. How is your practice? Well, when
Speaker 1: it's eighty one and cloudy, it's much better than when
Speaker 1: it's heat index one twelve. So it was it was
Speaker 1: a really good day. Attitudes were good. Execution is actually
Speaker 1: pretty good too. But one of the things that I
Speaker 1: think is always continuous, whether it's high school, college, the
Speaker 1: pros opening day, or the opening kickoff weekend, always kind
Speaker 1: of as a player, a little hyped up sometimes and
Speaker 1: and as a coach, I'm sure you've experienced that as well.
Speaker 1: How do you try to help your team manage that
Speaker 1: to where it doesn't affect their player early in the ballgame. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm not an expert at other sports, but football is
Speaker 1: the one sport where energy is actually really good. You know,
Speaker 1: golf and you know some other sports that we know
Speaker 1: it's it's you can't attack baseball and golf like that.
Speaker 1: But football is kind of an energy driven sports. So
Speaker 1: I've never really let it go, you know, just be smart. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, our whole philosophy and culture is built on
Speaker 1: forty six A two B plus two. So with that
Speaker 1: comes some mistakes once a while, you know what, But
Speaker 1: I really believe and so does our organization. Effort overcomes mistakes.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be an effort based team and that uh,
Speaker 1: that involves energy. So you know, I hope we're coming
Speaker 1: come out of our shoes, be quite honest with you.
Speaker 1: One thing that that doesn't require energy, requires a little
Speaker 1: bit more brain power, a little different for you at
Speaker 1: the pro level. You gotta figure out who's gonna wear
Speaker 1: one of the jerseys on game day? How has that
Speaker 1: been for you this week? And trying to look ahead
Speaker 1: and too, I guess you would say game plan, who's
Speaker 1: gonna be active? And I'm sure special teams has got
Speaker 1: to be a huge part of that. Well, that's something
Speaker 1: I've spent an inordent amount of time on from last
Speaker 1: you know, a year, a year in uh six eight
Speaker 1: months now eight months now, and that was just stunning
Speaker 1: roster management. And Trent has been off off awful, helpful,
Speaker 1: and so is Nick Sorenson. Our special teams coler In
Speaker 1: Joe and Bebel are two coordinators. So that's gonna be
Speaker 1: We got it down about two or three guys now,
Speaker 1: really just too that we have to make a final
Speaker 1: call on here tomorrow and that's who. You know, it
Speaker 1: depends how practice goes. But you know, when you start
Speaker 1: saying fifty three, that's small enough. And then oh, by
Speaker 1: the way, you got top five guys on the shoulder
Speaker 1: and say they can't play Um, So much goes into that,
Speaker 1: you know, health of team, the style of offense, defeat
Speaker 1: you're playing. And then most importantly in my mind and
Speaker 1: our organization is special teams value. And then you add
Speaker 1: on top of that your six team members of the
Speaker 1: practice squad, which you can dip into that probably even
Speaker 1: I don't want to say complicates it more, but it
Speaker 1: certainly adds to the equation. It does. But it just
Speaker 1: it's got to be very intentional about how you go
Speaker 1: about your business. Is there premium placed on special teams
Speaker 1: here in Jacksonville that's a capitol. Yes, you know, underline
Speaker 1: it bolted and we're going to be good on special teams.
Speaker 1: And how do you do that? You have to have
Speaker 1: players with value. Addressing Urban You've discussed this a little
Speaker 1: bit in the preseason, and we're gonna see it live
Speaker 1: for the first time. The game management of the NFL
Speaker 1: experience here two minute drills, Um, the challenge flags that
Speaker 1: hash marks are different. Have you covered all those bases?
Speaker 1: Are you confident in the operation of the coaching staff
Speaker 1: and everything in those regards for the game. We have
Speaker 1: a very good system set up here. One I inherited.
Speaker 1: You know Zach who works in our staff was in
Speaker 1: charge of the challenge flag and he's really elevate himself
Speaker 1: to be very responsible. I've met with him many many times.
Speaker 1: We actually practiced it several times. That's one of the
Speaker 1: reasons I put Darryl Bevil upstairs, because it's a you know,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a quiet environment. You know, I've done
Speaker 1: this long enough to know that on the field it's loud,
Speaker 1: it's chaotic, there's people everywhere, especially you know, you just
Speaker 1: you have to have someone in a controlled environment that
Speaker 1: has a hand on things and help you. And that's
Speaker 1: gonna be Darryl Bevil, and that's gonna be Zach. They're
Speaker 1: both upstairs in a quiet environment, and obviously I got
Speaker 1: to make the decisions. But the analytics piece, they're firing
Speaker 1: it across the headsets as we're going, you know, and
Speaker 1: we've practiced it, you know, in three games. We haven't
Speaker 1: had to do much in the three games, but we've
Speaker 1: actually been rehearsing over the headsets. Urban great stuff. We
Speaker 1: appreciate the time, and we'll catch you again after the
Speaker 1: game after hopefully we'll win in Houston in Week one,
Speaker 1: and good luck to you. Yeah, great to be with
Speaker 1: you guys, take care head coach Urban Meyer joining us
Speaker 1: on The Urban Meyers Show the first edition of the
Speaker 1: one campaign, and uh, I was excited going into it
Speaker 1: now and now we're really really ready to go to
Speaker 1: Houston in week one. Lost's it's it's fun listening to
Speaker 1: him to talk about how so much goes into it
Speaker 1: because you know, I mean, when you when you think
Speaker 1: about it, there's a there's a famous clip that I
Speaker 1: always kind of go back to it this time of year,
Speaker 1: and it's I'm a huge NFL films junkie, love the
Speaker 1: history of the game, and it's Bill Parcels telling his
Speaker 1: offensive line at the bench that that's is why you
Speaker 1: guys lifted all them weights. This is why you guys
Speaker 1: did all that do use some lexipletives, okay, and said,
Speaker 1: this is what it's all about, I mean, and that's
Speaker 1: what this There's been a lot of work that a
Speaker 1: lot of people have contributed to this organization in and
Speaker 1: around the league to make things happen. Because here on
Speaker 1: tonight for the Bucks and the Cowboys, and then also
Speaker 1: on Sunday, this is when it counts. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is when he can't start keeping score. It's for real.
Speaker 1: And you know, let's be quite honest with you, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of folks that are like, what is he
Speaker 1: doing going to the NFL. I mean it's a little
Speaker 1: bit of a risk, a big risk. Looks A lot
Speaker 1: of guys don't competition as competition is what it is
Speaker 1: and and that's what it's about. And then when when
Speaker 1: you love a game and you want to play in
Speaker 1: a game, and you want to compete in a game,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter where it is. JP If if me
Speaker 1: and you are playing checkers, you know, let's let's go.
Speaker 1: It's time. It's time to be competitive. Man, let's go.
Speaker 1: According to Urban, I better not jump up and down
Speaker 1: during that checkers game. I might tear an anc l
Speaker 1: oh you would in a minute on that play you
Speaker 1: would have had no chance of having your knee intact.
Speaker 1: I can tell you that Tyrod Taylor is a different
Speaker 1: athlete now. And it's it's gonna be interesting to watch
Speaker 1: how the reception is in Houston too, because they've undergone
Speaker 1: quite a bit in the off season, and how all
Speaker 1: the fans end up embracing their team. How will they
Speaker 1: embrace the situation with Tyrod Taylor. Uh that that's gonna
Speaker 1: be I think a point of curiosity for me. That's
Speaker 1: a great question you posed earlier. Where is DeShawn watching
Speaker 1: the game? Is he in the booth upstairs? Is he?
Speaker 1: I can guarantee this. I guarantee this. They're not going
Speaker 1: to show him on the JumboTron or the big video
Speaker 1: screen inside Reliance Stadium or NRG Stadium, whatever it is. Now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that is They're trying to make that
Speaker 1: story kind of just stay stay by the wayside. Well,
Speaker 1: I was going to be there until it's not there anymore.
Speaker 1: That's how that's going to be. But no matter if
Speaker 1: they show him or not, that is the story of
Speaker 1: the Texans, at least early in the season, and hopefully
Speaker 1: the Jaguars can go in there and take advantage and
Speaker 1: get a win as they start off this campaign a
Speaker 1: lot of new of course, you heard from ourn Meyer
Speaker 1: just there, Trevor Lawrence making his NFL debut, This brand
Speaker 1: new Jaguars defense pretty JP this seriously, that mean it's
Speaker 1: one of the biggest moments in franchise history when you
Speaker 1: take out the playoff games that I was a part
Speaker 1: of a couple of them. Okay, when you have a
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback that has the potential and this is one
Speaker 1: of the biggest moments of franchise history. I mean, this
Speaker 1: is a moment that I'm certainly anxiously looking forward to,
Speaker 1: and I can't wait to watch him play because I
Speaker 1: think he's prepared as he's ever gonna be get ready
