Who are you calling Eli Manning?

The only time Jacksonville was ever #1 in the AFC was the turn of the century.

That's not true.

They were tied for #1 after Week 1 of this season.

I am talking about the #1 seed in the playoffs.

As bad as our blocking was there where times that he didn't make the right decisions. I remember asking my self a few different time why in the hell did he doo that, or don't dance around behind the line of scrimmage and go north and south.  He looked like a different runner last week even when the line in front of him didn't block good.  Players don't improve, you think he is the same player he was as when we drafted him?

It's funny, because I am thinking the same thing about Ivory this year.

I believe players can and do improve.  But I don't think Sunday's performance by Yeldon is necessarily the result of some dramatic improvement on Yeldon's part.  It's not as if he hasn't had 100 yard games before.  He had two before this one.   It's not as if he hasn't had runs in excess of 20 yards before.  I think his attributable to a better offensive line with competent coaching determined to establish a run first mindset against an over matched and inept defense.

That's a cheap 'out'.  He hit the wrong holes...  Show me a few examples of hitting a hole that wasn't where the play was designed.

TJ Yeldon has great vision, great agility, above average hands and pass blocking.  If you want to criticize him, at least be critical of where he actually struggles.  He lacks homerun speed and is too tall and upright to be a good short yardage or goal line back.

I agree with this assessment. 

I don't know if you remember him, but he reminds me a lot of Amp Lee.

As for critiquing backs for missing a hole, I seem to recall after an early game this year that on the Monday night Jaguars show, they showed a clip of Ivory missing a hole. It may take me a while to find it.

I remember who he is, but I don't really remember anything about his play. I'll have to take a look.
