Quote:Secondly, and maybe this is a thought for upper management... With our opening game in Philadelphia and our game in week two in Washington DC, are we really going to ask our players to travel all the way back to Jacksonville between games? Will ownership buck up and allow for us to travel directly from Philadelphia to DC? When you consider that Philadephia to DC is 227 kilometers and Philadephia to Jacksonville is nearly 10 times that at 1382 kilometers, there is just no way we can ask our players to incur that kind of a travel schedule. For crying out loud we are already going to London this season to spread the gospel of the Jaguars!!!  Case in point - look at the University of Hawaii. There travel schedule was so tedious and uninviting that the only person they could get to take it's job  when it opened was this journeyman by the name of Norman Chow. I sure hope we do the right thing - not travel back to the motherland after the game and stop somewhere in between - say Delaware for example. I just checked and Amtrak runs right there on the way to DC. We could practice and bond in non enemy territory and prepare to go beat the heck out of the Washington ###########. I refuse to acknowledge their mascot.
 

 

 

This team will never have anything on the Seattle Seahawks when it comes to travel.  Let me tell you as a Pensacola resident, that I can do Orlando to Seattle standing on my head, but Seattle to Orlando takes me about two days to adjust.  The league office also loves to give the Seahawks 10am starts which have been proven to be scientifically a big disadvantage.  They don't this to the 49ers.  The league likes them to get plenty of sleep.

 

Also, I have a sister in Rochester, New York.  That's a piece of cake, too.
