GAME PLAN

When I first started this blog the idea was to give my "battle" plan for the Jaguars to win the game. That's why I called it jag-wars. I thought this team would fight in every game as if they were in a war. Well things haven't worked out like that and I have to go to plan B and the Jags should also go to plan B but I'm not sure they have one.

My plan B is just to keep saying how I would do things different then what has become predictable from the Jags.

Here are a few points.

The Jags regularly say they want, or have to get off to a fast start.

If this is so then why do they differ when they win the coin toss?

This is contradictory to getting off to a fast start.....how do you get off to a fast start on defense? Think about this also, does this show confidence in your team? NO

This is just one item I wish they would try and I see no reason why they don't except that maybe they have no imagination? 

Later I'll have some more brilliant plans that will just live and die here on this page....but they are brilliant if I must say so myself....and I do.

Later more brilliance from me. 

My plan B.   If we win the coin toss choose to receive the ball and have some of your best short and long passing plays ready to go and go on a fast count no huddle offense. Doesn't this make sense to you? For sure there is not a team out there that would be ready for the conservative Jags to have this kind of plan.

CLOSE TO 60 YEARS OF FOOTBALL

I probably watched my first game on TV back in 1954 on my uncles TV. We might of had one at home but it seldom worked. We watched the Browns because we lived in Ohio, but the best team at that time seem to be the Lions. This was football all the violence and mud and snow and just plain mean guys. Sort of like longshoremen in uniforms.
The coaches and the players cursed and chewed tobacco and spit on everything that didn't move and sometimes things that did move like opposing players. The coaches would slap the players upside their head for doing something wrong and didn't hesitate to bench them no matter how big a star they were. The coach was the boss and the players respected him.
The NFL has tamed football and to me has changed it to the point that it is to sanitized. The coaches now have to be diplomatic and talk like politician's so as not to damaged the reputation of the NFL or the owners. It wasn't that long ago that Ditka and other coaches still behaved like coaches of the old school so it hasn't been a long time since the change.
It sure would be refreshing to hear a coach or an owner tell it like it is just once. No cursing or that but just say the team stunk up the place or we hate those darn Cowboys. Let the front office relate to the fans for once....say something we want to hear , say "THE TRUTH" and don't white wash it.

NOW WATCH SOME REAL FOOTBALL.

LET US ENTERTAIN YOU LET US MAKE YOU SMILE

You know the song and others like "There's no business like show business" . Well let's admit it folks NFL means entertainment. They have all the stars and news makers, bad an good, and who gets all the attention? You know who those that sell tickets or are in demand by the public.

If this is not an entertainment business then why do we have cheerleaders, fly overs, drum corps, bands music, fireworks etc etc.  Please let's get real. 

Think of this. The fly over doesn't come off for some reason. The cheerleaders  all wear parka's, the music system doesn't work, the fireworks fizzle, the drums break and the bank plays horrible. Now think of this everything comes off without a hitch...actually it's the best fireworks you have ever seen in your life. The weather is great the food outstanding....but.the team plays terrible. The team is part of the entertainment and if the team breaks down the entertainment falls apart. We want it all to work or at least be decent. 

Am I right? Yes of course I'm always right. 

So Wayne Weaver today threw a bone to the fans. They brought in another clown that is equal to the clown that now QB's our team. He knows that even though this guy has about the same ability as the one we have at least we can maybe see someone else bomb. We like to cheer and we like to boo and having someone else to cheer for a while or to be able to boo that guy too is entertainment. 

Come on man lets us sing some sad song let us sing some glad songs and we'll surely make you smile.

Look up at Wayne during the game....he's always smiling....why because he knows it's a fun game.

So bring some bananas for the Colts to slip on and when some one says your team sucks you say Yes they do but you are having a good time aren't you. Say thank you for coming to Jacksonville and we are so glad that we could entertain you today. Have a safe trip home and be sure to come back and see us again.

NEVER NEVER LAND

PLEASE PLEASE NO MORE GARRARD. GO OUT AND PICK UP PATRICK RAMSEY OR ANY OTHER QB THAT HAS STARTED SOME GAMES. 

Garrard has no clue as to what went wrong.......oh really!  It was you man first of all and then everyone else.

listen to his interview......CLUELESS. 

If the players were upset guess what?  They will be more upset after they see the film.

WORST SHOWING EVER

Oh yeah the west coast trips were bad and we would stink every now and then at home, but yesterday was the worse game the Jaguars ever played. I don't see any come back from this. It's been three years now of suffering through some horrible loses at home and on the road.

You all know how I have been telling the Jags and the coaches to change the way they use Garrard and to do things differently. Like my last posting I suggested, with a little tongue in cheek that they should do like George Canstanza and do the opposite. Someone on Jaguars.com challenged my coaching record. I told him I had never coached but then I have never lost a game either. Right now as long as the Jags don't change I am looking like a genius.

Not once did the QB take more than a 3 step drop. This is stupid, so stupid I shouldn't have to explain. The defense is not afraid of what Garrard can do and the coaches make it easier for the defense by putting the QB in the same spot every time. No 5 or 6 step drops, no roll outs and no option type plays.

There was no single player to give some credit to except for Kampman who has played enough years that he has not been influenced by a stupid coach and Tyson Alualu because Jack hasn't ruined him yet.

I'll be there next week but I'll be wearing my Redskins colors so I don't have to be embarrassed by all the Colt fans in the stands. It was unbelievable how many Eagle fans were there and how loud they were. I blame this on Jacksonville people who don't buy tickets and those that do and sell them to on line to make a few bucks.
Shame on you season ticket holders who stay home and those folks in Jax that don't buy tickets and come.
The price of tickets here are very low and so low that the opposing teams eat them up like free candy.
Some of the Eagle fans in front of me said this is the only way they can see the Eagles play. They get the cheap tickets and travel here. Well they had a great time yesterday. Del Rio you should have to sit in stands just one time surrounded by the other teams fans and endure a real razzing.

JAGUARS GET MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER "GEORGE"

George Costanza  of Seinfeld fame met with the Jaguars players and coaches today to get them motivated for the game against Philly.
George figured that what worked for him would work for the Jaguars.

DO THE OPPOSITE!
So if you notice a different kind of team today you will know they took his advise.

EAGLES VS JAGUARS AND THE MEDIA

You know how hard I am on the Jags, but that's because I see faults and flaws and hope someone will listen and try to fix them.
I really do believe that the Jags can beat Philly and I think they will do it by 9 points. Why? Because the Jags are a lot better team then they showed last week against the Chargers. Could it be the Chargers are a lot better team than the Eagles? Yes and the AFC is a tougher conference than the NFC.
I think we will see the Jags get a few sacks of the unsackable Vick. The LB's for JAX will be very active and have a lot of tackles. If they can do good against Vick then they can do good against V. Young of the Titans which is more important for us.
Another reason I want us to win this game is to shut up the NFL who only talks about the Eagles right now and try not to even mention Jacksonville. WE GET NO RESPECT.  That's not a new feeling for me because in the early days of the Washington Redskins (late sixties) they were hardly ever mentioned. I remember Howard Cosell use to review all the games on Monday Night Football and one week he left the Skins off the show. Fans in DC were outraged but, a new coach A MEDIA DARLING and some wins got the attention of the whole nation. If you think you understand the NFL then you should know the media end of it like the NFL Network is run like a news outlet or even more so like a gossip rag. So like the National Enquirer the NFL wants current stories.....Like Micheal Vick or Tony Romo, or some of the other Stars like well you know who gets attention even though they do nothing special.
The NFL in support of all teams does and injustice to the trade and the financial balance of small market team.by not giving them some air time. Believe me all you experts who didn't want the Jags to draft Tebow, you are wrong. Tebow would have brought the media attention thus making more interest even locally and be such selling more seats. Fans who normally stay home would see more film clips and commentary and be influenced to come to the games. They would want to be part of IT.  UNDERSTAND? WAYNE DO YOU UNDERSTAND? THE JAGS ARE IN THE ENTERTAINMENT WORLD AND NOT A SHOE COMPANY.JERRY JONES KNOWS THIS AND EVEN THOUGH THE COWBOYS HAVE NOT GONE ANYWHERE FOR YEARS THEY OWN THE MEDIA'S ATTENTION AND THUS BUILT ONE OF THE GREATEST STADIUMS EVER.

WHO IS LISTENING TO ME? JACK, WAYNE, GENE, MAYBE MJD ?
