Jaguars HC Urban Meyer should know better, Week 8 observations

Jaguars players are taking responsibility for the loss, call it depressing.

Jaguars players are aware they underperformed against the Seahawks and know they must do a better job moving forward. Linebacker Myles Jack had a solid game, logging nine total tackles and one tackle for a loss. He met with the media after the lopsided and said players didn’t execute and pinned the loss on them.

"We ourselves have to stop shooting us and you know, shooting ourselves in the foot and I’m speaking from the player’s perspective, you know what I mean?"

Jack acknowledged there are certain things they need to “tighten up”. Regarding having 12 me on the field, he said there was no excuse and added they have to have better communication. He described the outcome of the game as “depressing and embarrassing”. On the other hand, the linebacker believes there is still time to turn things around, “we got 10 weeks, so it’s simple fixes we have to make we just have to do it. And the time is now”.

Outside linebacker Josh Allen also spoke to the media and also described their performance as embarrassing. However, he isn’t letting it get to him. Quite the contrary, he sees it as an opportunity to get better.

"I’m ready to take responsibility for plays that I missed and learn and grow with my teammates and I believe we’re going to do I think I believe we’re going to do that."

It’s good to hear Allen adopt that mindset. Even though the Jaguars’ defense struggled as a whole, he was outstanding at an individual level, logging six tackles, four tackles for a loss, and two sacks. As a team captain, he’s supposed to set the example, and even though he had a good performance against the Seahawks, he knows that more is needed from him if the Jaguars want to get back to the win column.
