SPare Posted January 9, 2004 Author Share Posted January 9, 2004 John Jansen has been pilloried here for his leadership, or lack thereof, over the last year. Want to get your thoughts. My opinion is that we will be ecstatic about how he responds to the new situation. Based on some experiences that I have had, I think that the disconnect for Jansen might have been Spurrier. Here's my theory. Low and mid level leaders (which all players are, no matter who they are) need some amount of support from their superiors. If their superiors undermine them, it gets frustrating, and in some cases, those low to mid level guys simply get despondent. the outward appearance is that the guy is a malcontent, and is not the leader that he is expected to be (expressed by rebelling against the superior) My prediction is that JJ is the go-to guy for Boss Hog.

TK Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Boss Hog will break him & then re-make him into a Hog. Buges is already a fan of JJ & Samuels. They'll both be back in Pro Bowl form by the time the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancalagon the Black Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I believe Jansen loathed Spurrier and his disdain for linemen, and he'll flourish under Boss Hog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gstahl Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I love Doc Walker's comment after the press conference... "If you are an offensive lineman and you are not working out as you are watching this, you are making a big mistake!" That says it all, everyone of them will be held fully accountable for every play, which is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I think alot of our players were demoralized because it appeared that SS gave up after the Buffalo game so the rest pretty much followed the leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
