The Jacksonville Jaguars lost again on Sunday, falling 37-19 to the Tennessee Titans and Urban Meyer was again making questionable decisions in the defeat. Things continue to be rough for Meyer in the NFL, as today he was blaming his rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence, for his inept play calls around the goal line.
Lawrence said after the game that while he has yet to run a QB sneak for the Jaguars, he is comfortable with the play.
#Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence says he feels comfortable running QB sneaks. Adds that obviously it’s not something he’s done in a game.

Meyer however said Lawrence wasn't yet comfortable running the sneak, which came into the play when he made his play call when the Jaguars were inside the one-yard line of the Titans. The Jaguars would fail to get the end zone on the play Meyer did call.
Urban Meyer on why no QB sneak for Trevor Lawrence from the six-inch line? "He’s not quite comfortable with that yet. I know that might sound silly, but if you’ve never done it, it’s something that we need to keep [working on] so that we can make that call in that situation."

This blunder is yet another mistake for Meyer and the Jaguars, who are now 0-5 this season. Meyer has struggled on and off the field, creating much speculation that the end for him in Jacksonville may be sooner than later. This could be another instance of Meyer passing the blame to someone else, as his 6'6 quarterback who already had a rushing touchdown earlier in the game could probably figure out how to give it a shot on a 6-inch quarterback sneak. Lawrence has always been a tough runner at quarterback, going back to his high school days and his three seasons at Clemson.
Lawrence threw for 273 yards and one touchdown for the Jaguars on Sunday, rushing for another touchdown. He threw one interception. Jacksonville may have their best shot at a win this season so far next Sunday, when they play the Miami Dolphins in London. The Dolphins have lost four straight games, losing 45-17 to the Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
Urban Meyer is off to a rocky start in the NFL with the Jaguars, and it may wind up being a short-lived stint with the Jaguars if he doesn't turn things around before the end of the season.
