JACKSONVILLE, Fla.
Ryan Switzer Youth Jersey . -- Jaguars coach
Gus Bradley fired offensive coordinator Greg Olson over the weekend because he
didnt believe the struggling offense was going to get any better under Olson.The
Jaguars stumbled through seven games and finally hit rock bottom during the
first half of last Thursday nights 36-22 loss to Tennessee. After a thorough
evaluation over the next two days, Bradley said he just didnt see any way that
Olson could get things turned around.I just couldnt grasp in my mind that the
results are going to change if we continue going in this direction, Bradley said
Monday. And I just didnt feel like personality- and philosophy-wise the change
would take place.When I look at it, we want to play hard, we want to play fast
and we want to play together. I didnt see that part. I havent seen that part
offensively this year. Thats my philosophy. I wanted to see us play at that
level and it seemed at times that it was an offense that grew, with every
opportunity, more and more frustrated. I didnt know if that could change.The
offense has been borderline nonfunctional at times. The Jaguars are 31st in the
NFL in rushing, last in third-down conversions, 26th in total offense and 13th
in pass offense. Quarterback Blake Bortles has completed 60 percent of his
passes for 1,904 yards and 12 touchdowns with nine interceptions, but he has
compiled most of those stats while playing with double-digit deficits. He has
thrown seven touchdown passes when the Jaguars have been trailing by 10 or more
points.Bortles said he feels responsible for Olsons firing.If I would have
played well, better, the way I should, whatever you want to say, there would
never be a coordinator switch, he said.The issues go beyond Bortles numbers:The
Jaguars have gone 21 consecutive games without scoring a touchdown on their
first possession, dating back to Week 2 of the 2015 season;Theyve failed to
score points in the first half of three games this season and have scored just
14 points in the first quarter;They are on pace to set a franchise-low in
rushing yards (72.6 yards per game).The lowest point of the season was the first
half against the Titans. The Jaguars managed just 60 yards of offense and three
first downs. They crossed their own 31-yard line just once in five possessions
and trailed 27-0.After considering all of that and what he learned from sitting
in on meetings and seeing how frustrated the offensive players have become,
Bradley said he made the decision to fire Olson and promote quarterbacks coach
Nathaniel Hackett.Bradley explained his decision to the team on Monday morning
and said he made it clear to them that Olson wasnt a scapegoat and that every
offensive player and coach is partly at fault for the problems moving the ball
and scoring.Its still players [who] have to make plays and we all have to take
responsibility, Bradley said. This was not solely Greg Olson. We had MEs [mental
errors], we didnt make plays, we dropped some balls, we missed some
opportunities.This was everybody involved and I think I made the decision just
basically on the direction we want to go from here.Bradley said the decision was
his own and wasnt made at the behest of general manager Dave Caldwell or owner
Shad Khan.Bradley also said he appreciates the support Khan has given him. Many
outside the organization thought Khan would fire Bradley, who is 14-41 in four
seasons with the team, after the Titans loss, but he decided not to make a
change.I do feel like the message [Khan] feels strongly, both Dave and him, [is]
that we can get this done, Bradley said. Whether other people believe, I dont
know. I know thats his belief.Ive thought a lot about what I would say to the
fans these last couple days and how much I appreciate them, Bradley added. And
Im saying, You know what, these are tough decisions we have to make, but its
whats best for this organization. And I do believe our fan base needs for us to
get this thing going. Were going to compete to do it, and were not going to shy
away from difficult decisions to do that.

. -- Al Jefferson found a groove just in time for the Charlotte Bobcats. NEW
YORK -- Terry Collins sat in the Citi Field interview room and answered the
first question after the New York Mets latest embarrassing defeat, a 9-0 wipeout
against Arizona on Thursday that dropped them back to .500 for the first time
since April.The manager spoke for 3 minutes, 27 seconds, his voice rising with
emotion, his hands gesturing, tapping his chest and the table in front of him
during a brutal assessment of his players desire and professionalism.Starting
tomorrow were going to get after it here and those who dont want to get after
it, I will find somebody else who does, he said, because in Las Vegas theres a
whole clubhouse filled with guys who want to sit in this room and Ill find them.
Thats all I got to say.Following that threat to call up players from the minor
leagues, Collins arose, walked back down the corridor to his clubhouse and held
a team meeting that lasted about 20 minutes.The last-place Diamondbacks rolled
to a three-game sweep, rattling Noah Syndergaard with four more stolen bases and
breaking open the game in a six-run sixth inning against Jon Niese that included
Chris Owings bases-loaded triple.Fourteen of New Yorks last 15 batters made out,
and the Mets -- missing injured Yoenis Cespedes, Lucas Duda, David Wright and
Jose Reyes -- managed five runs and 17 hits in the series. They have the lowest
batting average in the major leagues at .236 and were shut out for the ninth
time.I dont care whos not here. There are no excuses here, Collins said with
intensity. These are major league baseball players. I dont care where they came
from. I dont care how they got here. The names on their back and on the front of
their uniform say theyre a major league baseball player. It starts with them.New
York dropped to 10-16 since the All-Star break and is three games back for the
NLs second wild card. As 57-57, the Mets are down to .500 for the first time
since a 7-7 mark.You owe a responsibility to the fans, our fan base, the
organization and to yourself to respect for this game to come out and grind it
out, whether its hot or whether its freezing cold, and thats where its got to
start, Collins said.Yes, some guys are having a bad time. You cannot say woe is
me at this level. You cannot do it. Everybodys too good here. Nobody feels sorry
for you, `cause everybodys been humbled and those who get out of it stay here a
long time. Those who dont you keep looking up and they keep getting a little
time here and a little time there but they dont stay. I want the ones who can
stay, he said.Players understand tthe Mets, having raised fan expectations after
reaching the World Series last year, expect the team to reach the postseason
once again.

feels that pressure on himself from the outside in terms of us going out there
to perform and being able to be victorious in any situation possible, outfielder
Curtis Granderson said, so of course hes going to have some situations where hes
not going to be as happy as you would expect him to be and after a loss.Collins
singled out second baseman Neil Walker for his hustle and attitude.Its about
keeping positive, keeping the blinders on moving forward on a daily basis with
energy and playing hard, Walker said of Collins message.Syndergaard (9-7) swiped
an arm in the air after right fielder Jay Bruce failed to catch Gosewischs
opposite-field triple down the line, which gave the Diamondbacks a 2--0 lead,
then threw up his arms in frustration when Arizona pitcher Braden Shipley (2-1)
singled up the middle through a drawn-in infield for his first big league
RBI.Syndergaard allowed three runs and eight hits -- including three doubles and
a triple -- and is 0-4 in his last six starts. He described the mood of the team
as optimistic, kind of down right now, plagued by injury.Arizona stole 13 bases
in the series, the most in a three-game series against the Mets. Runners have
swiped 36 bases in 40 tries against Syndergaard this year and are 51 for 56
against him in his career, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The Mets have
allowed a big league-high 102 steals, including 20 off rookie Steven Matz, who
is second behind Syndergaard.Its real easy for the baserunners to predict when
Im going to home and when Im going to able to pick off. Its really mechanical,
Syndergaard said.Fans booed the sloppy Mets, who allowed Arizona to steal bases
without throws and also had an error, wild pitch and run-scoring passed
ball.Theres got to be a passion to come and play, Collins said. Theres got to be
a sense of this is what I do for a living, the people who pay me to play are
going to see my best effort.TRAINERS ROOMMets: 3B Jose Reyes (oblique) flied
out, walked twice, stole two bases and scored a run, playing five innings at
third base as he started a rehab assignment with Class A Brooklyn on Thursday.UP
NEXTMets: Logan Verrett (3-7), 0-1 in five starts since the All-Star break, is
to start Fridays series opener against San Diego and Paul Clemens (1-2).
