Yeah, but we get the brunt of it. But it all stems from them never wanting us to have a team. From day one they talked about us like a dog and we shut up the up the first five years. But once they seen a moment to attack, they did and have not stopped since. I actually love it. For someone to take their time to make make lies and non-truths about a city who is just trying to support their football, the media really has nothing else better to do.

In a way, I guess it has the positive effect of making me care more about the team and feel like I have more of a personal stake in it, because it's about the city to me. I always loved football but was never this passionate about it. The downside is that sometimes it's downright exhausting to be a Jaguar fan, because of constantly having to confront people outside of Jacksonville who are hopelessly misinformed about the team and city, and people in Jacksonville who have resigned themselves to the idea that the team will move and won't support it.

Duvaldude, you are dead-on right about the media's relationship with Jacksonville.
totally agree. have always loved the Jags. Heck, I grew up with them, but it's not just about the team but our city. I'm renewed my Sharks season tickets this year but didn't wanna spend that kinda of money on the Jags. Now more than ever though I'm willing to sacrifice and get Jags season tickets. It's about having pride in our team and our city and showing them support. As much as I get irritated with the media I enjoy this "us against the world" thing. Already have my ticket for Monday night and I can't wait!!

Right I was actually not a football fan until 2009. When the media was dogging Jacksonville I took that personal, as everyone that truely loves this city should have. But even before I was a Jags fan, I NEVER had anything bad to say about them. I actually would defend the team when someone would say, " Oh they sorry, theyve always been sorry" But 2009 sucked me in and I have been a die hard fan ever since.

Yup. Dujuan Harris was good in the pre season. He's a good compliment to MOJO. He'd be good on special teams to. Dejay Karim has been horriable this year.

Several coaching changes today too. WR coach Johnny Cox fired, QB coach Mike Sheppard moved to WR coach, Koetter will be QB coach.

Should help Cecil Shorts a lot too. I think he's a very talented guy and apparently Johnny Cox put him in his doghouse.

As much griping as is done based on the presumption that all small school players are useless and/or overdrafts - this with a team whose greatest WRs of all time came from Jackson State and UNLV - I don't think there's any Jaguar I want to see become a star more than Cecil Shorts.

Sounds good to me. Koetter shouldnt be calling plays. PERIOD

Fallen Buckeye · November 30, 2011, 07:11:33 PM

My understanding is that Koetter is still the offensive coordinator. He just is taking a more hands on involvement with the qb's.

Yes, that's right.

I have to say that I have first game of the season excitement all over again.

I can't wait until monday night!!

I don't really expect much different, but with all the change going on I can't help but wonder what the product on the field will look like.
