so do we all go into es-type diatribes about how jj is blitzing from above and that his spirit will help elevate the entire defense? for his sake, i farging hope not.

Obviously I hope the man is not and won't have any serious pain as he goes through this...that's just natural human compassion.

What I don't want, and this will sound really Dio-ish, but I don't want to enter the 2009 season with a "Win it for Jim" type mentality. Especially if he's not around. He won't be looking down from anywhere, won't be looking over the defense from above, and certainly won't have any effect on the play of the defense.

I disagree moderately about him not having any affect on how they're playing. McDermott is still going to be running his defense plus J.J. undoubtedly had at least a passing say in every defensive player acquired on the team.

But otherwise, yeah, I could do without all the phony platitudes. The EMB is farging unbearable right now.

I could see the players having that sentiment in the locker room, as many of them had close relations with JJ over the years. Beyond that, though, it would ring a bit hollow.

He appeared in my cereal this morning. I ran over the box of Count Chocula and picked up seven yards.

Going miss that sour face on the sideline

RIP JJ

pour one out for a true gangsta

Seabiscuit36 · July 28, 2009, 08:34:55 PM

i will say, the zone blitz, and his utilization of Dawk made this D amazing for much longer than anyone would have thought. Only Kiffin and JJ kept up their game consistently.
