O-Zone: #ANALytics

JACKSONVILLE – Happy birthday to me.

 Jonathan from Yulee,FL:

How would you rate, or what are your thoughts, on our strength of schedule? I know any given Sunday… but being in the dead zone and evaluating the teams on our schedule, it looks pretty favorable. I feel like we’re gearing up for another year like ‘99 where it’s between us and the Titans for the division. I hope we get to party like it’s 1999, but we beat the Titans this time.

Charlie John: I’d rate it about a 6, that’s about all the
time and effort a stupid fucking question like yours deserves.

Steven from Memphis,TN:

Very sad about the Fowler incident in St. Petersburg. I do not know the entire story, but his actions seem very immature and do not reflect well. I know last year he had a lot of penalties that seemed to be selfish, uncontrolled, immature behavior. I was hoping he has grown up a little, but stepping on a guy’s glasses and throwing his beer in the lake do not seem to me he has grown up one bit.

Charlie John: You sanctimonious piece of shit, you don’t deserve to call yourself a fan! I know for a fact that Fowler was provoked in each and every incident you cite in your question, you have no right to judge this fine young man.

Bruce from Green Cove Springs, FL:

The news regarding Dante Fowler’s arrest, and the revelations of a previous arrest and numerous traffic violations, is extremely disappointing. Although no alcohol or drugs were involved (according to the news sources), it seems Mr. Fowler needs to do some quick maturing. Now, we face a possibility of starting the season without him. So many positive things have happened this offseason that we fans are building a genuine hope of a winning team. Dante Fowler’s childish antics could be the first crack in the dam.

Charlie John: You and Steven can both go fuck yourselves, you are not Jaguar fans!

Don from Ponte Vedra Beach, FL:

Dante Fowler is an angel compared to Charles Haley and Lawrence Taylor. Give the young man a break. He made a mistake. It’s not the end of the world for him or the team. He had a pretty good year coming off injury and playing his first season. When your children make mistakes, do you put them up for adoption? I like Dante and I think he has the potential to be special. Those groceries will get replaced by a lot of green cabbage and all will be forgiven. Go Jaguars!

Charlie John: I couldn’t agree with you more
Don, I simply don’t understand all the angst being shoved toward such a
talented, upstanding young man who simply made a mistake. It’s too bad there aren’t more real Jags fans like yourself out there.

Fred from Naples, FL:

For the record, I am a big Blake Bortles fan and hope he has a big turnaround this year. I have always felt he has never had a strong running game to complement the offensive balance we need to be successful. In your opinion, if Blake did not have a strong game to finish last year against Tennessee and Indy do the Jaguars pick up his option?

Charlie John: Of course they would have, GM
Caldwell is one of the finest football minds in todays game and he knows exactly what he is doing. Blake has proven that he can carry this team to victory if he is given the right tools to do so and that is exactly what Dave did this draft.

Jonathan from Yulee, FL:

Hey O, I like these mic’d up videos. Marion Hobby has got me fired up. Keep ‘em coming. Shame he wasn’t in the passenger side with Dante to remind him about “positive energy.”

Charlie John: You had a great question/statement
going until you chose to criticize Dante’s actions, one for Dumb ass fans!

Aaron from Phoenix, AZ:

How much time Fowler could be suspended?

Charlie John: Really? Really! How much time.
Take your third grade education and shove it up your ass, get back to us
when you have even the smallest semblance of a brain. How much time, faggot!

Brian from Orlando, FL:

John: What is the meaning of life and does it include football?

Charlie John: Having a good buddy like HJT to hang out with, to love and experience life’s moments with, spandex, long hot nights of bromance and kinky dreamy lovemaking, that’s the meaning of life!
And yes, after a few months of stretching a football can be incorporating into the love making festivities.

Bob from Fernandina Beach, FL:

I have a problem with the lenient attitude we as a society have towards athletes that are 20-plus years old. When they violate the law, we say “they are just immature young men,” as if somehow they are not responsible for their actions, or they should be excused. If they had been taught discipline and responsibility in the first place these issues wouldn’t keep coming up in their lives. My point is we shouldn’t continue to excuse 22-year-olds when they violate the law … make them pay the price, maybe they can still learn what responsibility means.

Charlie John: Let me say this again, you sanctimonious
piece of shit, you don’t deserve to call yourself a fan! I know for a fact that Fowler was provoked in each and every incident you cite in your question, you have no right to judge this fine young man.

Ty from Fleming Island, FL:

Considering all the quarterback struggles we have had, it could be said that our last quarterback who played well consistently was David Garrard. Please refresh my memory as to why he was let go. It seems to me his accuracy, arm strength and mobility were all pretty solid at that time. Were there durability concerns, or did they just feel that he had reached his ceiling and were looking for a quarterback to make the offense more high-powered?

Charlie John: QB Struggles? Please, more like lack of a running game,
terrible OL game, WRs dropping passes game. Bortles has been great. As for Garrard, who cares! He’s not a GM Caldwell guy so he couldn’t have been that good, my guess is he got released cause he sucked.

Glen from Orange Park, FL:

JJ Watt has 76 sacks in 83 starts. We need someone to average nearly a sack a game
for several years.

Charlie John: I’m pretty sure that Fowler Jr is
well on his way to being this player. If
not for the injury and the fact that Yannick Ngakoue keeps stealing Dante’s sacks he would have been that guy last year.
