So I don’t think this bye week was much more than an injury re-set and another week of practicing to improve as a team. With a team as bad as this one was coming into the season, I think the emphasis should be on installing the system. Of course that still involves the normal weekly gameplanning, but you do it for the long-term benefits, not the short-term gains. I really hope they did a little of both in the extra week. Jacksonville’s an ideal target game for getting the passing game going a little, and to maybe try out the depth at RB a little more.

it needs quicker backs that can create their own space without waiting for holes to open up. So let’s hope Charles and Savage get something going.

Really, I dont know why he is giving them time off. Not to be a dictator here, but they all need as much practice as they can get. Basic footwork on the line, tackling drills,film study, route running…they all need improvement..I am really looking forward to seeing more carries for Charles and to see what Smith has to offer after coming off a serious injury. We need speed at the RB position. LJ has shown nothing, no burst, no evasion, and no ability to break tackles.
 Im still dumbfounded that LJ has had to be suspended in order for somebody else to get a chance to start on this team and get a significant number of carries to see what they can accomplish. I cant imagine this regime was so scared of what LJ would have done if he was replaced that they just avoided making the change at all costs. They have been making plenty of other changes everywhere else. I hope one of these guys shows enough to take over the starting job, cause LJ does not deserve it. His lack of production, and his crybaby antics have brought this team down enough over the yrs.. I understand the money side of it makes it hard to get rid of him, but when a guy is not worth it, he is not worth it. Sit him on the bench and let him suffer not getting into the game…Yes, he is getting paid, but wouldnt we all like to see a RB thats out there trying his ass off to make a name for himself rather than a guy who thinks his shit dont stink and gives you nothing on a consistant basis……
Honestly, with his lack of blocking,bad pass catching, and terrible attitude, I think that just starting another back will open up this offense for better running plays, play action, and screen plays. We have to find something for opposing defenses to worry about other than two runs up the middle and a pass on third and long………I hope i never see another draw play this season..good grief….Come on Haley,do your job man!

Not holding, that would be a good start… Oh yeah no false starts…..
