Gene Smith has a Heart

Our Beloved Emperor had his chief enforcer, Del Rio, at his side and wearing all black... how appropriate. Gene clearly runs the show, and it becomes apparent during any press conferences where both are present and speaking. Gene speaks first, and clearly sets the tone. He says his piece efficiently, and obviously is looking for players just like Jones-Drew. I hold Gene in the highest esteem, and will expect nothing less than a disciplined, strong willed team. Quitting will no longer be an option. Give up, and you'll have to hope that the "team" is the only place you get cut at....
We're closing in on the all important Draft, and soon all of our off season dreams, thoughts, and attempts to be a GM will bear fruit. Some of us will be crushed, disappointed, dejected even. Others will be elated, excited, and stoked their guy got picked... Or because we traded down. In the end, we'll all circle around our newest team members, and begin breaking down their collegiate careers. Tic...tock....tic....tock.

The more I hear from Gene
The more respect and the more I but into the new regime. Its funny but it seems that at this point Del Rio has been relegated to a secondary role and kind of just parrots what Gene has to say. He must be feeling the heat under his seat. (rhyme completely intended lol) Anyway I have complete faith at this point that the emperor will do the right thing and pick the right person for this team, whoever that ends up being.
Just when I was getting to like the cold, calculating, ruthless GM facade. He has a heart. Bummer.
Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Fred Taylor. Sounds about right.
Tony Soprano loved his nephew,
right up to the point where he killed him (I miss that show). Gene is still a cold hearted dude. He’s our Godfather. lol
Haha
Everyone said they hated the ending. I though it was alright. It lets your mind wander…
Thats Good For Another Jacksonville... First Down.
Honestly, though
I like Jack Del Rio as a coach. He was hindered by Shack, in my opinion. IDK. I don’t really like envisioning another coach. Especially a Josh McDouchebag.
I love that nickname.
I’d take odds that McDaniels is on the hot seat by his bye week.

Yeah
That schedule is a killer (NFC East, AFC North, Colts, Patriots), plus the Chiefs and the Raiders will rise this season I think. Denver could end up last! And then we will see how the people will “love” JMD for all he did in the Cutler saga…

He reminds me of Cam Cameron... should've never been given a shot as a head coach.
The same will be said of McDaniels… he’s just too inexperienced

The
“If I would have a son” was caught my ears as well. Nice gesture. As to the JDR-Gene thing, if they do what they have to do, then they can bring back the jaguars where they were in the end of ’07 season.

Here's what I think
I honestly don’t buy into the “got old” over night and now we have to rebuild crap. I think we didn’t play very well, and yeah, Gene is doing a makeover of the team. But, the line had so many problems last year, it made David play alot worse. Our running game was awful, and it made him have to pass more while in more frequent “obvious” passing situations. The receivers suck so bad, we had no reason to have anything better than a 5-11 season.
However, if the line stays healthy this year, we get the ground attack going, enjoy a decent passing attack (with help from the draft on who the receivers may be) without having to RELY on a passing game, then we would be formidable once again. I do believe we need another cornerback for that to happen though, and a moderate replacement at DT next to Henderson. With the more efficient pass rush this season (I can almost guarantee it will be better than last year), the defense will be better. The linebackers will not have to make as many plays in open space due to the DL getting more penetration. In the way that the offense sputtered without a decent OL, the defense will be much better with the addition of a much more efficient pass rush. I’m optimistic. This team is not that far off from where they were in 2007.
The big question is: Can the MJD/Greg Jones tandem be anywhere near as efficient as Freddy/MJD before last season? If Garrard gets some support from a better cast around him, he’ll be more confident and play better. This team is on the rise.
Well Blair
I think we are a team on the rise because we are going to be HEALTHY. With Vince Manuwai, Mo Williams, Meester, Landri, et. al for a full season, a commitment on teamwork and passion, with Jack Del Rio at the helm and Gene putting the right people on the bus, we have nowhere to look but up. I’m interested to see who other than MJD is going to step up and make plays: Mike Walker, Hughes, Torry Holt, David Garrard, Chauncey Washington, Scott Starks, who is going to be that other star to come out and lead this team. A lot of people put their eyes on Justin Durant, who I think is a beast. What about the second year for Harvey and Groves? We have a lot of what ifs to answer, but this will definitely be a huge season for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
That is true
but this year more than ever I think we will be able to handle losses like that. we do have some young o-line guys (uche, spencer, drew miller) and d-line guys to weather the storm. the only position I am concerned with is quarterback and wide receiver.
That is a big key
Staying healthy. If we have just 2-3 players on the starter caliber on IR around Week 11, then I think the jaguars might had a shot. I’m trust on the new Strength & Conditioning coaches and Luke Richesson that they will do a heckuva job preparing the guys on the season. This is almost that important, how the jaguars will draft in my opinion.

I fear the
new strength and conditioning will benefit us more next year. Building muscles is easy and you can do it quickly; but to truly become limber and less injury prone, it takes a while longer.
Agreed... The O Line was decimated and
as somebody put it the WR’s couldn’t catch a cold. Even Matt Jones play was not at a high professional level, it was just an improvement over sucking! If you looked real close you could tell he was still just going through the motions.
Where I was most disappointed last year was the Defense and their lack to even make a threat of stopping the opposing offense. Somebody at the browns game pointed out to me the difference with and without Stroud. This was true and we lost a good player, but have you to drive on. What appeared most, and I don’t have any stats to back this up, is it seemed every team was capable of converting 3rd downs. I would assume most of these were little fades and slants. Florence was useless.
The Jags have to improve at Corner and depth at both lines.
every time i think of 2008, two things stand out
the first quarter vs the vikings and…
number 1: trent edwards going 22 for 26… with a few dropped passes
surreal to be teal
MJD told an interviewer he was training in Egypt and running up the steps of the pyramid.
He was being completely straight faced about it, too, and I think the interviewer may’ve bought it. I think it might’ve been Rich Eisen, I’m not sure.
The End Is Nigh... www.infowars.com
Well then I bought it too
The moment Surteal was referring to was during the press conference when he said he was in Cairo then he made some face and Jack started laughing. Call me gullible, but I really think he was in Cairo.
Egyptian women are some of the world's most beautiful... My wife is Egyptian, look at my icon picture... she's hot.
Cairo is not a bad place to be at all. Now you have me wondering too… Could he have really trained in Egypt… surely not…

Hey Silencecs...
Your wife is hot, I’ve said that before. And is was Rich Eisen on NFL Total Access. Drew even went into detail about the means he used to travel to the Egyptian village…lol. I can’t tell if it was the truth or not either!!??!!

BTW, I meant "hot" as respectfully as possible, FYI.
Very beautiful girl Collin.

yeah i wanted to say something but i felt i would sound a bit...internety, for lack of a better word
but you brought it up haha
surreal to be teal
Respectfully taken, sir.
Now it appears we have a new myth,
“Did MJD really train in Egypt?”
To go along with our as of yet, unanswered question about the Jags senior reporter.
“Does Vic really chill with Snoop dogg?”
The End Is Nigh... www.infowars.com
he hung out with jenna jameson...had the pic and everything
i wonder what the wife thought of that
surreal to be teal
yes it was jenny
Vic showed a picture in an ask Vic about he and her!
by Zoltan from Budapest on Apr 17, 2009 5:08 PM EDT up reply actions
I think it was a metaphor
I think he was training in Cali, and said Egypt as if to say he was a long ass ways away.
I thought it was funny when
Maurice Drew said “What’s up?” to Rich Eisen. It made me think “Everything is up to MJD” (Think about it…he’s only 5’7)
Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Fred Taylor. Sounds about right.
