With a straight face and a shoulder shrug
Youth Cam Robinson Jerseys , a subtle response to being criticized in Doug Pederson’s new book.In Pederson’s book
released Tuesday, the Philadelphia Eagles coach ripped Marrone’s decision to
take a knee at the end of the first half of the AFC championship game.
Jacksonville led New England 14-10 with 55 seconds remaining and two timeouts,
but Marrone called for Blake Bortles to run out the clock and head to the locker
room. According to ESPN Stats and Info, Jacksonville was the first team last
season to take a knee with that much time remaining in the first half.Marrone
received several texts about Pederson’s book — “Fearless: How an Underdog
Becomes a Champion” — excerpts of which were released earlier this week.“I got a
couple text messages, saying like, ‘Blah, blah blah
Cam Robinson Jerseys Stitched , blah, blah,'” Marrone said. “And I’m just like, ‘Hey, Doug won a Super Bowl. Doug did a great job of coaching. I’m sure there’s a long
line of people that have the same questions or feelings. It’s just what you’re
going to do.”More Jacksonville Jaguars newsJaguars expect DE Yannick Ngakoue’s

Marrone dropped this nugget: He said he read a book written by Mark Manson
during the offseason that ended up on The New York Times Best Seller list. The
title? “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a (expletive): A Counterintuitive Approach
to Living a Good Life.”Marrone never mentioned the title of Manson’s book in his
response to a question about Pederson’s book. But his message seemed
clear.Here’s one to bookmark now: The Eagles and Jaguars play Oct. 28 in London,
an opportunity for the coaches to discuss their philosophies face to face.“So
those things happen and that’s it,” Marrone said. “But I respect the hell out of
him and his team and he won a Super Bowl
Youth DJ Chark Jerseys , so. We lost, and when you lose, you question everything so I don’t have a problem with it.”In his book, Pederson said he watched the
watched the game and was “screaming at the TV in my office” and thinking “you’ve
got to be kidding me right now. It made me mad because Jacksonville had New
England right where they wanted them.”The Patriots overcame a 10-point deficit
in the fourth quarter to beat Jacksonville 24-20 and reach the Super Bowl.
Pederson said Jacksonville’s cautious approach “fueled me.”“They could have at
least tried for a field goal,” Pederson wrote. “They took it out of their
quarterback’s hands, and they didn’t give to their big back Leonard Fournette. I
thought, ‘If they lose this game
DJ Chark Jerseys Stitched , this is why.’ Sure enough they would go on to lose the game.”Facing a similar situation in the NFC title game against Minnesota,
Pederson and the Eagles managed a field goal late in the first half after
getting the ball with 29 seconds remaining. Two weeks later in the Super Bowl,
Pederson’s aggression helped the Eagles claim their first Lombardi Trophy.
Jaguars executive vice president of football operations Tom Coughlin has
reportedly heard from the NFL about last week’s comments regarding players
missing voluntary offseason workouts.Cornerback Jalen Ramsey and linebacker
Telvin Smith have been absent and Coughlin said that they should be in
attendance. That drew responses from Ramsey, Ramsey’s agent and the NFLPA.Dan
Graziano of ESPN.com reports that Coughlin’s call to get on his lawn instead of
staying off of it has also drawn a response from the league. The league
reportedly sent Coughlin a warning letter reinforcing the voluntary nature of
the workouts and telling him that any similar comments in the future could lead
to a fine or the loss of OTA days later in the offseason schedule.Per the
report, the NFLPA had asked the league to reinforce the rule with Coughlin and
the Jaguars. It’s not the first time that Coughlin’s stance on the offseason
rules laid out by the Collective Bargaining Agreement has drawn notice from the
NFLPA and we’ll see if the league’s involvement makes it the last.
