Of course I don't agree with Del Rio who I guess is an optimist or maybe he can only see the improvements that he was looking for and not an overall improvement that the fan is looking for. I really didn't see a lot except for the first 5 minutes where the defense looked really good.
I'm so happy with my new seat. I got to see all that action up close when the Jags stuffed the Dolphins and then got a safety. Got some crazies in my new area, but I would rather have excited fans who yell and scream then folks who seem to be sitting in church.
It was a long night for us even though we left at half-time. My numb leg had shooting pains as we walked to the stadium. The front of my leg is still numb and the shooting pains were almost too much. Diagnosis bursitis, if that is what it is I don't ever want it again. Anyway we got to the stadium before kick-off (seven thirty), but we had to stand or sit on the concrete until about nine fifteen to get to our seats because of lightning, Once we got settled into our seats and feeling goo about the game the rain came and soaked us until about half-time.
OK so no sympathy for me? Well then back to the game. None of the regulars played enough to really tell how they are doing. Alualu and Kampman combined early for a sack. Garrard looked mediocre except on a first down run, you know that's his talent don't you? I'm still trying to figure out what could make Garrard better. Maybe he doesn't drop back deep enough? For certain he should be an option QB with some roll outs etc. They just won't listen to me.
Simms-Walker looked good and of course Mike Thomas was excellent, He ran a beautiful pass route for a touch-down that was just unstoppable. Mark my word Mike Walker will be an NFL star equal to Jones-Drew......You heard it here first.
Karim the run back specialist was very good. I like him a lot and I'm sure he is a shoe-in for that spot.
Pass defense looked horrible as it has for the past three years or more. Why didn't Greg Williams work out here in Jax, when everywhere else he is praised and considered one of the best? Did he want too much money? Did Jack not like his defensive schemes? We will never know until maybe Jack is fired....next year?
I realize that this is still only preseason, but somethings should show up to the average fan and so far nothing has really impressed me .......well except for the return game.
It's still a wait and see kind of thing. I just hope I don't have to sit through nine more games watching this team not stop a pass or a QB scramble.
