Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio doesn't think there's a double standard in his decision to allow Maurice Jones-Drew to do a Friday night radio show this fall after frowning on David Garrard doing a Friday afternoon radio show last year according to Vito Stellino of the Florida Times-Union. The difference is that Garrard is a quarterback and Jones-Drew a running back, Del Rio said. "Clearly, the preparation involved with playing running back is very different than that of a quarterback," Del Rio said in a statement. "Maurice and I spoke about him hosting a national fantasy football show this fall. Maurice is one of the more popular players in fantasy football leagues, and this is a bit of a hobby for him. This is during the season, and obviously our game preparation is important, but Maurice understands that."
He is the QB & shouldn't be playing around with the media if his head has to be tied to game plan. The RB gets the ball 20-30 carries but the QB gets the ball about every play.
That is all that is needed to distract a critical position player, a radio show. Then if the team tanks, it will be the coaches head on the block because he is allowing the distraction from the task.
