I am looking forward to this year too. i do have a question though.  every time jags get a new HC we here how the culture will change, and it doesn't at all. I am hopeing that a culture change is becomeing a

realitly with Urban,or that it will in time.  heres my question FBT even though it was non-contact could you feel any change in the jags culture at all in camp?  also like everyone else said excellent job with the camp report FBT.

Wolfie, any time they change coaches, there is a culture change that follows.  Whether or not that cultrue change is a good thing remains to be seen from coach to coach.  It is safe to assume that the changes we've seen over the past several coaches hasn't exactly inspired confidence, but there's definitely a different feel with Urban.  Everything is very structured, and very professional.  I think we're seeing something that's closer to what we saw with Coughlin than with Mullarkey, Bradley, or Marrone.  

I do like what I'm hearing out of camp since the pads went on yesterday.  Urban is actually having the PA announcer indicate who got the upper hand on any given play.  This is a motivational tactic to make sure you're not the guy who is constantly getting beaten.  Urban is the one deciding who won the match-up, so it's interestingi to see how that plays out.  He also isn't afraid to call out players he feels aren't carrying their weight.  He did it with DJ Chark to start OTAs challenging him to get more physical, and it worked.  He's doing it now with CJ Henderson by putting him on the exercise bike right in front of the team while they're doing stretches to motivate him to get back on the field.  I think Urbs thinks CJ might be sandbagging it a bit.

We haven't had a coach who was willing to be so open about calling players out, and I actually appreciate it.  The players may not like it, but there's a simple solution.  Do your job.
