Pete is definitely a homer for Jags but that position is about right unless Jags take a big step forward and significantly cut down on all of the most basic football mistakes of blocking, tackling, angles, and stick to YOUR assignment on every play. We were really bad in these area's last year and I am hoping we take that significant step forward. I think this team is better than the 1996 team on paper except for mental breakdowns by one or two guys on offense, defense, and ST on a majority of every play last year. It appears Gus is holding every player more accountable in his tone and verbal admonishments than in the past two years. It can be done and we can do it. I am not saying playoffs but I do want us to go back to being competitive in every game. That was what Cardiac Cats were until about 5 years ago. Even when we lost we were in the game and driving to stadium every week knew we had a winning chance. For the past 4 years it has been hard to sit and watch all the basic breakdowns throughout the whole game and get our [BLEEP] kicked week in and week out. If we are competitive every week that shows we are almost there even if we only win 5 or 6 games. Trust me I get it there are those of you who don't feel that is good enough because I am sick of watching the product that has been on the field the last 4 years. If we are competitive and in every game until the end that means we are capable of playoff level football soon...maybe even...not going to say it! Go Jags.
