Lying down on job
Several fans have wondered why Fred Jackson was face down on the ground before a couple kickoffs in Jacksonville. He said it was a ploy cooked up by special teams coach Bobby April to try to cause a few of the Jaguars coverage men to lose their focus.
Said Jackson: "We were just trying to get any advantage we could. I was laying down to see if I could distract some of the Jaguar players when they were coming down and get them to focus on me instead of T [Terrence McGee] returning the kick. It was just a little distraction to see if I could distract somebody. I think it worked for the most part. I think I got two or three guys watching me instead of paying attention to T."

If this is really true - I love it .....
Next time - Jackson should stop , look up and point - then watch all the opponents stop to look up ....
That will slow them down :)
