Jack Del Rio wants you to know that the Jacksonville Jaguars have rules, and as long as you're under his roof, young man, you're going to abide by them."We have rules, and we have discipline. Let me clarify that for you. This a misunderstanding out there. We have tons of rules. ... Be on time, be prepared and be a professional. If you do those things, you're not going to have these issues. A professional wouldn't think about making the choice to be out late as opposed to being in bed."
Unfortunately, a few Jaguars haven't followed those rules, which "disgusted" team owner Wayne Weaver, and now they must pay the price. Rookie linebacker Justin Durant and offensive lineman Richard Collier, who were both arrested last Friday night, have been suspended without pay for two games, retroactive to last Sunday's loss to New Orleans. Likewise, tackle Khalif Barnes -- he of the famous "KKK Devil Cop" arrest video -- was fined for showing up to work late on Saturday.
This tough love isn't quite as tough as what the NFL gave Marcus Stroud. He was suspended for four games for violating the substance abuse policy. But hey, at least Del Rio has this team discipline thing under control now, right? Right?

Jack Del Rio's tough love policy only works if the Jaguars win games.
