So how is that festy Doug Marrone doing with the Jags ?

Well, I guess the OL guru has a bad OL, OC Boy Hackett after having unsuccessfully worked with Bortles as QB coach doesn't appear to have designed an offense based on that theoretical familiarity, Perry Fewell the defensive wizard is the DB coach and they added Sparano Jr. as assistant OL coach after his sharp stint here with tight ends. Outside the scope of the article, I read they just tried out Dan Carpenter.

Marrone has grown and learned. Maybe Orton needs some cash ? Nah. He's holding people accountable though. He's St. Doug, can't be his fault.

Good Lord. Why do you post such? Dig into things to just to attack another?

I'm reminded of a line from Sinatra's "That's Life"...

..."and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a dream"...

It's the NFL forum. Take your pills. I'm reminded of people who don't take their pills, which they sort of need to be people who take their pills. It's not your fault, cut your losses. Maybe you hit your head again. Maybe you didn't and you're just like that. You do a great job letting people understand the difference though.

He posts this here because it has to do with a former Bills coach. I was going to start a thread for this article on Marrone, but it seems apropos to post here.

Not everyone likes the new-old approach to football in Jacksonville

Lost in the sudden quarterback controversy in Jacksonville is the fact that there has been a sudden, in 2017, increase in the physicality and overall demands of training camp under coach Doug Marrone and executive V.P. of football operations Tom Coughlin.

Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com paints a positive picture of the new approach, which includes the return of something that NFL players haven’t done for years: Up-downs.

“I just think when you’re talking about trying to be a physical team, it’s all in the mindset,” coach Doug Marrone told Breer. “So we’re gonna practice that way, with a lot of one-on-one run blocking, 9-on-7, combination blocking drills, things of that nature in the teaching progression. And the up-downs are something I’ve always done since I was a player, so for me, why should it end now?”

For many, it’s just starting now. And for some players, it’s not a welcome development.

Yes, some players are embracing the new approach. Others just aren’t wired that way; one league source told PFT that at least one player has remarked that the physically demanding camp will shorten his career by at least two years. Others have been quietly grumbling about it, since there really isn’t anything they can do for now. (Except maybe retire and then try to return and then get released.)

While Marrone was the one quoted, it’s Coughlin who is believed to have pushed the change.
