Jaguars situtation in my opion

ARMJAG — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 04:56:59 -0000

As of right now the Jaguars are looking better and here is why. Oline is better due to our new left tackle Tra Thomas and our 2 guards Maurice Williams and Vince Manuwai return to 2007 form we have a serviceable oline add 1 or 2 draft picks preferably a tackle for the future and a center and we should be all right for a while. TIGHT ENDS we are set there for the time being with what we have. Receivers we need to address this in the draft and undrafted free agents QB we need to keep Lemon 1 more year as a back up and draft a replacement next year when there will be a slew of good qbs to draft Running back no need there Dline We need to get a DT to pair with big John and see how are 2 DE"s from last year improve Line backers are good and we have some depth Secondary We need to change Rashean Mathis to safety and Reggie Nelson to CB put Brian Williams at cb and use Sean Considine at safety our weak link would be Williams At this time our draft should go like this 2 oline men 2 wide receivers 1 running back 2 defensive backs That is my take what do you think

opinion from Jagnation

ARMJAG — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 16:41:36 -0000

I was just at Jaguars .com and they have a little debate about Jay Cutler and the Jaguars trying to obtain his services and trading David Garrard. My opinion is no we don't trade for Cutler he has some baggage that we do not know about and I rate David better then him, also this trade would possible cost us draft picks which we desperately need. I believe our future quarter back is in next years draft because there are 5 or 6 good ones coming out. Jagnation your opinion please

O-line help

ARMJAG — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 19:14:26 -0000

Just got this off of si.com looks like we may be able to getat least 2 needs filled in this years draft, a left tackle and maybe a center with Alex Mack, California, Center at # 8 and with our 1st second round pick William Beatty, Connecticut, OT.

that should help solidify our line for a while. Offensive lineman 1. Eugene Monroe, Virginia, OT: A dominating tackle prospect with exceptional athleticism and body control. Best described as a "dancing bear" on the edge, Monroe does an outstanding job of shadowing agile rushers off the edge. His ability to stay square in pass protection is rare and has scouts raving about his potential on the next level. Though some would like to see Monroe play more aggressively as a run blocker, his finesse style is effective due to his sound technique and fundamentals. He is masterful at working angles and is an efficient blocker on the second level. Monroe is undoubtedly the best tackle prospect at the position and should be the first offensive linemen taken on draft day.

2. Jason Smith, Baylor, OT: A former tight end who brings outstanding athleticism to the position. Smith has the lateral quickness to neutralize speed rushers off the edge and possesses the strength and body control to stop bull rushers in their tracks. Though Smith is exceptional in pass protection, he has also shown signs of developing into a dominant run blocker. He consistently moves defenders off the ball and is one of the best finishers in this year's draft class. With a rare combination of size, strength and athleticism, Smith is a franchise-type offensive tackle who should come off the board early in the first round.

3. Andre Smith, Alabama, OT: A mammoth offensive line prospect who simply mauls defenders at the point of attack. Blessed with exceptional size and strength, Smith is most effective as a drive blocker in the running game. His ability to create a surge along the line will improve any running game. As a pass blocker, Smith has good balance and body control, but struggles against speed off the corner. Though he is able engulf most rushers with his size, he will have problems containing elite rushers as a pro. In fact, his struggles have led some scouts to project Smith as a guard prospect. Smith is still considered a first-round talent, but teams are undecided to which position will best suit his skill set.

4. Michael Oher, Mississippi, OT: An intriguing prospect with the physical tools to develop into a top notch offensive tackle. As one of the best athletes at the position, Oher displays the balance and body control to handle finesse rushers off the edge. Additionally, the former Rebel has the strength to stop bull rushers without allowing penetration. Oher also shows good strength and power as a run blocker. He routinely dominates defenders at the point of attack, and creates a solid push along the line. Though scouts would love to see Oher dominate his foes consistently, they love his potential and view him as one of the top prospects at the position.

5. Alex Mack, California, C: An outstanding prospect with terrific size and strength for the position. Mack is explosive after the snap and shows tremendous power moving defenders off the ball. His ability to hold his own against a number of heavyweights at the Senior Bowl cemented his status as a top-notch interior run blocker. While Mack has been lauded for his physicality in the running game, he also has the balance and body control to neutralize pass rushers. He anchors well against power and shows surprising quickness when mirroring quick rushers in pass protection. It is rare for a center prospect to come off the board in the first round, but Mack's overall ability is so superior he warrants serious consideration at the bottom of the round.

6. William Beatty, Connecticut, OT: The former Husky's performance during Senior Bowl week skyrocketed his value on draft boards. An exceptional athlete with outstanding size and strength, Beatty shows the potential to develop into a franchise-caliber offensive tackle. Though he is still raw in some technical aspects of the position, Beatty's footwork and lateral quickness allow him to effectively shadow speed rushers off the edge in pass protection. As a run blocker, Beatty has the quickness and movement skills to work effectively on the second level. He routinely seals the edge on outside runs and is an impressive blocker in space. With enormous potential and upside, Beatty will continue to climb up the charts with solid pro workouts and may wind up sneaking into the bottom of the first round.

7. Max Unger, Oregon, C: An exceptional center prospect with rare athleticism and body control for his size, Unger possesses outstanding movement skills and is one of the few centers in the game capable of getting out of his stance to pull on outside runs. Additionally, Unger is a quick-footed athlete who is nimble enough to shadow finesse rushers in pass protection. His balance is rare for such a big man, and many scouts project Unger as a combo player (center/guard) as a pro. At any rate, Unger is one of the top interior blockers available and should hear name called near the top of the second round.

8. Jamon Meredith, South Carolina, OT: An experienced and durable prospect with solid overall skills. Meredith started 25-consecutive games for the Gamecocks and projects as a right tackle as a pro. Armed with a strong punch and surprisingly light feet, Meredith shines in pass protection. Though his lack of bulk (he only weighed 289 during his senior season) makes him susceptible to bull rushes and power moves, he does a respectable job of battling top rushers on the edge. As a run blocker, Meredith lacks the power to consistently move defenders off the ball, but is a sticky blocker who works hard to finish. With solid tackle prospects scarce, teams value an all-around prospect like Meredith and will make a play for his services in the second round.

9. Eben Britton, Arizona, OT: A prototypical tackle prospect with exceptional size (6-foot-6, 310 pounds) and skills for the position, Britton is a better-than-advertised athlete who effectively uses his long arms to keep defenders stymied in pass protection. Although he occasionally loses discipline with his footwork and fundamentals, Britton's raw talent allows him to win the majority of his battles on the edge. As a run blocker, Britton is neither dominating nor forceful, but he is effective at keeping his guy out of the play. Britton is far from a polished product at this point, but his size and untapped potential makes him an intriguing prospect in the second round.

10. Phil Loadholt, Oklahoma, OT: The former Sooner star is a behemoth (6-8, 348 pounds) with good strength and power. Loadholt uses his massive frame to engulf defenders at the point of attack and is most effective as a straight-line blocker in the running game. Although he flashes some agility for his size, he lacks the movement skills to be effective on the second level. In addition, his lack of athleticism is exposed in pass protection, as he routinely struggles against speed rushers off the edge. While Loadholt is sure to have his struggles on the edge as pro, some scouts believe that he has a chance to develop into a serviceable pro in the right run-based system.

Fred Taylor cut

ARMJAG — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 17:22:27 -0000

Just heard on the radio that the Jaguars are cutting Freddy T today with a press conference at 1:30 . The reason they gave is they want to get younger at the running back position and save about 6 million dollars. Fred may come back at a lower payday. Fred thank you for the great times you gave us. This make Maurice jones Drew the number 1 running back and possibly Greg Jones as the back up

2009 jAGUARS ROSTER

ARMJAG — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 18:03:04 -0000

My prediction is that at least 17 players on this years current roster will not be with the Jaguars next year. We could be losing some players that have helped the team in the past, Here is who I see leaving . Brad, Meester comes back only at right price Barnes, Khalif gone Florence, Drayton may stay depends on d coordinator James, William gone Lowry, Calvin gone Hayward, Reggie depends on health Jeremy Mincey depends on health Ellison, Atiyyah gone Peterson, Mike gone Black, Jordan gone Weatherford, Steve or Podlesh, Adam 1 will go Lemon, Cleo gone need to get a jar on the shelf Pearman, Alvin gone Gerald Sensabaugh fa/ we need to resign Wrighster III, George gone Hughes, Nate gone Williams, Reggie gone Troy Williamson gone Lewis, Jonathan gone Naeole, Chris gone Porter, Jerry gone Taylor, Fred back if price is right otherwise gone This list was put together from the roster the IR list and the practice squad

Derrick Harvey

ARMJAG — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 18:54:40 -0000

I hope Derrick watched last nights game and kept an eye on the defensive ends. Because if he did he should realize that if he does not sign and sign soon. He may not be needed. Paul Spicer was great as always, Reggie Haywood did a fantastic job with his time on the field, Groves did what he was suppose to do rush the passer and our undrafted DE did a decent job when they were called upon. Derrick you may be listrnning to your agent but I beleive that you need some one else to listen to talk to mom, dad, sis or any one that will give you good info sign now before it is to late, because if you do not sign with the Jags this year what pick will you be next year not # 8 I can guarantee that
