Did you hear that Jack Del Rio said that one of his problems with his defense is that they couldn't get off the field on 3rd down. Does that sound familiar?

also, Wade was cut today

Absolutely. I immediately thought the same thing. The Jags defense definately looks like a Gregg Williams defense. I'm scratching my head wondering why they're not blitzing at all.

If they thow the ball to Ward every play for the rest of the game, they'll win. And I'll win. It's called a win-win, folks.

Gregg Williams looked like an evil genius his first year w/ us. He blitzed relentlessly. He was unpredictable and drove opposing offenses mad.

Please, someone tell me what happened??? Why did he change his entire philosophy??

The guy made watching defense *fun* for me for the first time in a many years. I never understood why he seemed to just abandon his entire philosophy.

and he has probably a better d line where he is now (at least in terms of passrushers)

"The Jaguars' home crowd booed when tastefully named defensive coordinator Gregg Williams kept sending just a three-man rush against the troubled Pittsburgh offensive line, and this tactic kept not working. During the offseason, Jacksonville paid a king's ransom in draft choices to bring in two pass-rush specialists, and so far on the season the Jags have just eight sacks. With Jax leading 14-10, the Steelers lined up empty with trips left; it resulted in a 48-yard touchdown pass to Nate Washington as Ben Roethlisberger stood in the pocket patting the ball, under no rush."

I am never going to understand what is going on inside that guy's head. So much success his first year here and he pulls a complete 180. He flat-out refuses to send a pass rush. Jacksonville fans have every right to be pissed.

At least he's consistent. It would've made me mental if all of the sudden he woke up when he went to Jax and put a premium on his d-line.
