the Colts stampede that came to Jacksonville Municipal Stadium on Monday night obliterated a lot of hopes and dreams. Those hopes and dreams of the jags and their fans were for winning the AFC south. It was made very clear that the Jags don't yet measure up to the elite status they thought they did.

In the week leading up to the Jaguar vs the Chiefs game i had the opportunity to banter back and forth with a Chiefs fan about the upcoming game. As the game has been played and the outcome was as good as it was for the Jagaurs i am posting the discussion we had. It was an enjoyable time speaking with a fan that loves the team they support and has some good ideas about what needs they have and where the Chiefs could be this season.

The Jacksonville Jaguars won the second game of the pre-season. They did so in a not so stylish or decisive manner once again. The starters on the offensive side of the ball did not look polished individually and as a whole.

We all know the pre-season record doesn't matter. Regardless, it still feels good when your team wins a game. It has been a long offseason and I imagine for all NFL fans out there, we are glad it is over. Even though the Jags won their match up with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there are some problems that arose from the win.

the Jaguars played their first preseason game on Saturday night August 11th. The outcome was not what most fans desired, but the team did accomplish what they set out to do. The coaches got a good look at what could be coming this year with the new offense and they were able to see and get a preliminary assessment on players at all positions. Overall the Jaguars looked very good. As the preseason continues on the Jags will improve and we can look forward to a great season this year i predict.

I had the opportunity to attend a personal appearance by Maurice Jones-Drew on
Thursday, June 21st. He was there to unveil the new Audi R8 sports car at the
grand opening under the new ownership of Audi Jacksonville.  

I was able to talk to the idol rookie running back for a brief amount of time
and asked him a few questions. He was a very personable young man and quite
approachable considering he is well on his way to superstardom in the NFL.

We discussed the feelings, thoughts and anticipation regarding the upcoming
months where "America's Sport" will be back on the field. Maurice Jones-Drew
said, "I am looking forward to the season." I asked him if he was ready for camp
to start. He replied, "I am ready to get out there and I am excited about camp.
Once camp starts, the season isn't far off. I am really ready for the season to
start."

I don't think the average fan realizes that last season his numbers were so
impressive across the board that he became the third best all time in all
purpose yards. That is an awesome feat of skill for a vet, but for him to do
that as a rookie is absolutely amazing.

He is a class act. The NFL, along with the Jaguars, really need to find the
players of this caliber both on and off the field. It would allow the public to see players, such as Jones-Drew as
the "Face of the NFL."

Maurice Jones-Drew represents the Jacksonville Jaguars and I believe many
players should emulate him.  With only one professional year under his belt, he
has made a strong impact on the team as well as the Jacksonville community. He
has made me proud to be a Jags' fan. I know there is an opportunity for him to
become the fresh young vision of the Jaguars' future.

In this era of Adam "Pac-Man" Jones and Tank Johnson as well as others who are
repeatedly in trouble with the law, and players with egos like T.O., this is the
kind of young man and player any parent would love to have their children look
up to as a role model and hero. I really appreciate the time he spent with me
and it is obvious that Maurice Jones-Drew is undeniably a superstar in the
making.

I have heard that new wide receivers coach Todd Monken is challenging his players to take their games to a higher level, and the number of WR's vying for a roster spot is making it easy for Monken to make his point.

Free agent addition Dennis Northcutt is providing a strong example of the work ethic and veteran leadership. The other members of the WR club with the Jags are Reggie Williams and Matt Jones, veteran Ernest Wilford, hold-over Charles Sharon and rookie draft picks Mike Walker and John Broussard.

My personal opinion is that Reggie Williams was a bust when they drafted him and I have been proven correct so far. Looking at his performances so far he has a lot to prove in order to earn a roster spot this year.

Matt Jones has great athleticism, but he has had injury problems so far in his career. He has to prove he can handle the strain of the season without getting injured. He has great potential but in order to realize it he has to be healthy.

Ernest Wilford, to me, is the most productive of the receivers and is almost guaranteed a spot on the roster as long as he continues down the road he has been on since he was drafted.

I don`t know much about Sharon. He was Bowling Green's all time leader in Receiving Yards and Touchdowns. He has a lot to prove in order to earn a spot with the Jaguars. according to reports from the Jags OTA's he did just that and showed great potential.
Considering all Mike ( Skyman) Walker has gone through already and his comeback season from knee surgery at UCF, he is bound to become a major offensive weapon in the Jaguars aresenal.

I also do not know very much about John Broussard. I hear that he ran a 4.34 at his pro day workouts and that is all I heard. He also has a great task ahead of him to make the team. He can with his speed if he has the hands and discipline to go along with that speed.

My opinion is that the odd man out this year may end up being Reggie Williams. He hasn`t proven anything to me and has had the opportunity to do so many times. That is where I stand on the WR stiuation for the Jaguars

It is a very sad day in Jacksonville. The Jacksonville Jaguars released Donovin Darius.

That may seem to many to be not much to get upset by but let us not forget how long he has been with the team. He has been with the Jaguars since then coach Tom Coughlin drafted him 25th overall out of Syracuse.  

He has been the heart and soul of the defense ever since then.  He was the center and leader of the run stuffing defense we all have become accustomed to here in the Jungle.  
He was one of the hardest hitting and hardest working safeties in the league.  DD leads all Jaguars in tackles and games played.

 He has also been a leader off the field. He contributes both time and finacially to many causes around the First Coast. You never heard of his name ever beimng mentioned  in conjunction with any off the field troubles either. His reputation is so good that he was chosen to be a member of the NFL comissioners player conduct board. He was and is a leader both on and off the field.

So, it is a sad day in Jacksonville and Donovan Darius will be greatly missed. Good luck Donovan.

Jaguars wide receivers coach Todd Monken said undrafted free agent Charles Sharon  is putting himself in position to be a starter here because he's been on the field every day and improved every day and made plays every day.

"I feel good about what we have," Monken said of his receivers. "The most consistent guys have been Charles Sharon, Dennis Northcutt and Ernest Wilford. They've been on the field the most and they've produced the most."

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed rookie guard Uche Nwaneri  on June 12. Nwaneri was drafted with the Jaguars' first of three picks in the fifth round. The Jaguars had 11 draft picks in the 2007 draft. Nwaneri joins Josh Gattis and Brian Smith as the first 3 draft picks signed by the Jaguars.

Nwaneri, 6'3'' 326, started 26 games at Purdue at Left Guard. As a senior, he had 44 knockdowns in 12 starts.

Defensive end Bobby McCray has signed his restricted free agent tender, effectively ending the possibility of a training camp holdout.

the Jaguars have signed rookie fourth-round draft choice Adam Podlesh to a contract. Podlesh, from Maryland, is set to become the Jaguars' punter this year. Podlesh is the fourth member of the Jaguars' draft class to sign a contract.
