Quote:I like some of Dave's draft picks, but his FA's are letting the team down. Somebody explain Myers? Why is he here, what was seen of his talent to allow him to take the job? He looks like a 12 year old bad high school kicker.

The defense lacks a leader.With Marks out, this squad mailed it in. Clemons should be gone, he stopped playing a couple games ago and can't get off a block.

 

Dave has made several key mistakes in FA and a key problem is not finding THE leader, the alpha dog on defense.

GM and Coach needs to step it up, do their jobs better, to inspire what we have immediately, and secondly getting that ELITE FA talent

on Defense.  We are on the road to good days it seems, the offense looks much improved and of course the WR and QB are the reason, but more hard work is needed in the less glamour positions,such as finding that Ronnie Lott that will play with a missing finger for the love of the game. I did not see any fire in this defense yesterday, and this games really stands out as an unmotivated defense, ill prepared, and someone needs to take the blame for that.  I haven't heard anyone step forward and do that besides the same old platitudes and coach speech.

 

The GM simply has to find that Ray Lewis or Revis on Defense that play with desire. It might come from the draft but younger rookies rarely take over a locker room immediately. He must stop Jacksonville from becoming the elephant graveyard of hurt, overrated FA's needing a job. I think these lame,unmotivated free agents will get in line with our program if they had someone in their face telling them to play for pride. We don't have that guy in their face, from a player or the coaching staff. (Gus?).  We witnessed a team on defense "just doing their job" yesterday, without desire or fire. That is not enough, so Gus needs to change the "just do your job" talk, to "play like your career depends on it and your grandma is watching, because you are tanking it". Basically Mr.Motivation needs to motivate until Dave hits on a FA stud someday soon that can lead this defense.  It has to change now, or Blake better be prepared to throw 5 TD's every game the rest of the season. This Defense is sliding down hill now that the playoffs are out of the picture.
