Brady Quinn: “The NFLPA, I didn't hear them make a big fuss about it [the Josh Lambo kicking incident]. And so outside of this being reported, which happened months ago, we're now using that as cause to fire the guy? None of it really makes sense as far as the timeline of when the incident occurred and now the decision that they're making. Was Shad Khan completely unaware of this as an owner? Did Josh Lambo just decide to try and pile on now with everything else that was coming out? There’s a reason why Josh Lambo isn’t there anymore, and it has nothing to do with this incident.”
Jonas Knox: “First, I don’t even care that he’s a kicker who made the accusations, to Brady’s point, none of it adds up, it doesn’t make sense. In one of the reports, Josh Lambo said “When he kicked me I said ‘don’t ever f*cking kick me again’”, okay that’s a bunch of crap, I can guarantee you he didn’t say that. Secondly, he could have been busting his balls, Urban Meyer even denied it afterwards. That happened in August and he wasn’t cut until a couple of months later. And you want to know why he was cut? Because he stunk out loud. He missed his first three kicks and he missed a couple of PATs if I’m not mistaken and he got beat out for the job. Then he went to Pittsburgh and got cut again. This sounds like a guy who butchered his own performance, butchered his own job, got cut, and then all these months later wants to come out and start ratting people out, and complaining because someone was teasing him a little in a pregame huddle... I didn't play anywhere close to the level you guys did, but I played in high school. This is so common. Coaches would come around and whip you in the back of your helmets with their keys. They would pinch the back of your arm. That happened at mediocre high school football!... New book coming out called 'Surviving Meyer' according to Josh Lambo!"
Lavar Arrington: “If you can't handle a coach calling you a dipsh*t, and you can't handle him kicking you in the back of the leg and telling you to 'make the God damn kick', you should hear 99% of the OTHER stories taking place between players and coaches... I gotta be honest with ya'll and you may get upset with me, but that is not an accurate representation of the voice of that team. It's the furthest thing from an accurate representation. That man [Lambo] is not rescuing the rest of the team, he's not leading them to freedom out of bondage from Urban Meyer. He does not speak for the rest of that locker room, I can assure you that... I guess Lambo has put himself in position to do a tell-all book dropping in August. Lifetime will do a docu-series on the ‘Life of Lambo’… If Urban Meyer was being aggressive and abusive to the degree that this guy is saying, the team would have handled that, and the team would have come to that kicker’s defense and been like ‘hey Urban, CHILL, bro.’ The team would have policed that situation. So to sit here and go rogue the way that this dude did, and for it to be a lynchpin of sorts, and be the conversational point that pivots all of this towards ‘Urban Meyer isn’t the right person for the job’, look at this team’s success rate as of late. Look where this franchise currently sits. You can single out Urban Meyer and say he wasn’t the answer for the job, that’s fine, but to try and character assassinate the man on sending him out on something as feeble as this? That’s a feeble-minded person who came out with those quotes. He’s feeble-minded and he’s a simpleton… Lambo did every team a favor in the National Football League. If a 57-year-old man can kick you in the back of your leg, and you’re a professional athlete, then what happens on a muffed punt or kick and you happen to get hit? You’ve done everybody a favor and no one is going to put you on the muffed kick list. We’re not calling you.” (Full Segment Above)
Listen to Brady Quinn, Lavar Arrington, and Jonas Knox explain why they think Urban Meyer was the victim of a 'hit job' in Jacksonville as all three hosts on 'Two Pros and a Cup of Joe' aren't buying the legitimacy of former Jags kicker Josh Lambo's claims that Meyer 'kicked' him during a warmup before a preseason game last August.
Check out the segment above as Quin, Arrington, and Knox mock the free-agent kicker whose allegations on Wednesday night ultimately were the final death blow for Meyer, who was fired in the early AM on Thursday after a series of off-field drama engulfed the legendary college coach.
(VIDEO at the bottom) Check out Doug Gottlieb's take on the incident from Wednesday, as although it was before Meyer was officially fired by Jags owner Shad Khan, Gottlieb had many doubts to the true context of this alleged 'kick' and the ensuing altercation between Meyer and Lambo.
