HELL yes, RODNEY is THE BOMB. He wasn't going to let it slip thru his hand twice in a row. I ABSOLUTELY love that guy.

We only allowed 6 points in the 2nd half. Taylor rushed for less than 50 yards. Jones-Drew was nowhere to be found. Garrard did a great job picking apart our zone D. It was pretty obvious that they were trying to stay away from the blitz, probably saving it for next Sunday.

Well, the goal is to win the game, and they did just that.
Pats defense held the #2, built to beat the Pats, rushing offense to 82 yds.
82 friggen yards!
The scheme put the game in Garrard's hands, and he played a pretty solid game, but not good enough.

I was disappointed with the soft coverage by the secondary, but it tightened up a bit more in the second half.

For all the talk about the Jags run game vs ours, it was lopsided..... in favor of Maroney, who out gained MJD, Taylor, & Garrard combined.

I'm sure the scheme will look completely different next week against the Colts, but Addai doesn't command as much attention as Taylor & Drew.

Pretty much a vanilla look so that Frankenstein has very little to go on for next week.

No bliting first half, blitzing second half and #31 was laying the wood.

They did what they had to do.. when they needed to do it. The run game for Jacksonville was less than stellar and 6 2nd half points.. I'll take it.

When I think about it, they probably intended on putting the game in Garrard's hands. I bet that the coaches didn't expect Garrard to play so well considering his lack of playoff experience. He wasn't who we thought he was. So, considering the fact that we shut down their awesome running game, maybe this wasn't that bad of an effort by the D.
