Big Cat Country Weekend Edition: Mauler Mentality
"Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it." ~Confucius~
Beauty to me, is Manuwai pancaking a smallish DT.
Beauty to me, is seeing Greg Jones destroy a SS coming up to fill the hole.
Beauty to me, is seeing Maurice Jones-Drew flatline Shaun Merriman.
Beauty to me, is seeing a Brad Meester glide to the second level and take out another defender. Man he's smooth.
Beauty to me, is going to a game in Tampa where the Jags beat the Bucs, and opened the game with 15 of their first 16 plays on the ground. "What was the other play", you ask? A middle screen to MJD... Man, that's beautiful.
Identity. Who are the Jacksonville Jaguars? One year ago I would have told you they were contenders. Today, I stand before you with a far different proposal, a new vision for our beloved Jaguars. We must channel our inner "Mauler", and regain our identity as one of the most physical teams in America. The Jaguars' have always represented the underdogs, the down-trodden, the have-nots, the afterthought...
No more! The engineers of our 2007 dominance on the ground are back, and appear to be ready to go after nearly a full season on hiatus. Meester and Manuwai will hopefully be major beneficiaries of the new training regimen. The team has clear needs at the C and LT positions long term, however, I'll take Meester's mind and experience over a younger more virile rookie.

A little mysticism... a little passion for violence
Are we seeing a new side of Collin emerging?
Keep going pal, this is interesting.

Amen
That’s football at its best. One of my all time favorite Jaguar games was the 44-17 beatdown against the Colts when the Jags ran the ball 42 times for 375 yards and 4 TDs. It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.
That's what I'm talking about!
This article has gotten me pumped up! I can’t wait to see the Jags get back to the “Mauler Mentality” – Defense and Run left, Run right, Run up the middle. You have definitely gone over to the Dark side with Gene and Jack, and I’m right behind you.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.

Collin are there normally this many, or is it slow for them this week. BCC has taken over!
surreal to be teal
That hit MJD put on SM
produced the best one line comment of Deion Sanders television career. During the highlights of that game Deion said,“That’s LIGHTS ON, not LIGHTS OUT!”
Love the content! I just want to know who the first mauling victim will be come Sept. This team has a bad taste in it’s mouth, and I’m sure their pretty anxious to get rid of it.
Dream Scenario
Monroe falls to #8 and Alex Mack falls to the 2nd round

I agree
Another dream scenario: trading down in BOTH rounds for a 3rd rounder, and a 1-2 more middle rounder.

In a perfect world
Defensive backs would get a 15 yard penalty for not making a vicious hit on a defenseless receiver stupid enough to go over the middle.

Good read Collin
Things like that really make me anxious for the season to get under way! What about Garrard running for 19 on 3rd down against the Squeelers in Pittsburgh at that!
Everybody knows when he's coming to town
They're locking the doors
And they don't make a sound
People want him dead but he won't die yet
First he's got to live
With all the things that he did
With the emphasis on the passing game...
Being identified as a physical team means we will be a team constantly on the verge of the playoffs but never a Super Bowl contender. I’d say the 2007 Patriots is the model for the Jaguars to follow. Fix up their mistakes made during the Super Bowl and that’s probably the best way to go.
Pittsburgh is a physical team first. Both offensively and defensively they dominate the run game

Not Offensively
Pittsburgh won this past year with no running game. Sure, it was workable in the playoffs but during the season it was nonexistent. They were physical throwing the ball though.
Thats Good For Another Jacksonville... First Down.
They ran well when willie parker came back, and late in the playoffs.
Their passing attack was brutal though. They were well rounded, but our 2007 team woulda taken them and the titans at the same time, without their helmets, pads, or Jaxson De Ville, in the snow!
