The Jaguars signed two players to their roster and waived one, all rookies, this afternoon. Quarterback Todd Boeckman and wide receiver Andy Strickland were added, and wide receiver Jason English was waived.

Boeckman, 25, attended Ohio State where he was a team captain and threw for 31 touchdowns. He played in 27 games, completing 255 of 402 passes (63.4%) for 3,041 yards. The 6-5, 243-pound Boeckman was a full-time starter as a junior in 2007, earning first team All-Big Ten honors after leading the conference in passing efficiency. He started the first three games of his senior season last year before Terrelle Pryor took over as the Buckeyes’ starting quarterback. Boeckman, who is from St. Henry, Ohio, received his bachelor’s degree from Ohio State in March of last year.

Could the Jaguars be contemplating trading for Glen Dorsey?

jagsfanbrunell — Fri, 15 May 2009 15:29:28 -0000

I saw a great question on Ask Vic and it got me thinking. What do you guys think? James from St. Petersburg, FL The Chiefs are switching to a 3-4 defense, which leaves their 2008 first-round pick, Glenn Dorsey, out in the rain. Do you think the Jags could be in trade talks for Dorsey?
Vic: I don’t know if the Jags are interested or not but I can think of one reason why a team needing a defensive tackle might be interested: The Chiefs paid his signing bonus, which means you’d be getting him at a bargain price and a low cap number. What trading for Dorsey would come down to, for any team, is what you’d have to give in the way of draft picks, your opinion of Dorsey as a player and, of course, he’d have to submit to and pass a physical exam.

Jags sign Bouman

jagsfanbrunell — Tue, 12 May 2009 15:35:33 -0000

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed free agent quarterback Todd Bouman to a contract today. Length and terms of the contract are undisclosed. Bouman, 6-2, 226, is in his 11th NFL season and has played in 42 games with six starts with Minnesota and New Orleans. Bouman spent four weeks on the Jaguars’ roster in 2007 after an injury to David Garrard and also spent time in the club’s 2008 training camp. He was signed by Baltimore prior to the 2008 season-opener and spent the entire season with the Ravens. He dressed but did not play as the 3rd quarterback for the final 10 weeks including the postseason. Bouman’s career totals include 129 of 230 passing for 1,683 yards with 11 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He started three games in 2001 for Minnesota and three games in 2005 with New Orleans. per jaguars.co

DeCamillis suffers broken back as storm levels Cowboys' facility

jagsfanbrunell — Sun, 03 May 2009 04:08:13 -0000

"I saw it coming down and didn't have time to react," Cowboys secondary coach Dave Campo said. "I hit the ground and was able to get back up."

DeCamillis, hired by the Cowboys a few months ago, likely will need surgery to fix "a couple of broken vertebrae" in his lower back but is expected to recover, said his father-in-law, Dan Reeves, a longtime NFL coach.

DeCamillis was among 10 people taken away by emergency vehicles. Two others went to hospitals on their own.

"Right now, I think we don't have anybody who is in a life-threatening situation," said Dr. Paul Pepe, head of emergency medical services for Dallas County.

Jimmy Smith in trouble again...

jagsfanbrunell — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 22:34:56 -0000

Talk about trying hard to keep yourself out of the "Jaguars Ring of Honor." I just heard on WOKV news talk radio during the "Jaguars This Week" show that Jimmy Smith was arrested for driving on a suspended license. I know this is a minor offence, but come on, how stupid. I just can't understand these guys. Well, atleast we don't have to worry about any suspensions with J. Smith and I don't think we will have to worry about this kind of stuff with T. Holt.

Is Vic eluding to Harvin being the #8 pick of the Jaguars?

jagsfanbrunell — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 21:24:14 -0000

Percy Harvin, Florida Gators

via media3.washingtonpost.com

I may be way off base on this but today I was reading "Ask Vick" and it sure sounded like he was eluding to the Jaguars possibly taking Percy Harvin with the 8th overall pick in the draft. Check out these questions and answers if you havn't read today's column.

#1. Q. Now that the combine is over, who do you rank as the top 10 picks?
Vic: 1. Aaron Curry, 2. Matt Stafford, 3. Eugene Monroe, 4. B.J. Raji, 5. Rey Maualuga, 6. Vontae Davis, 7. Mark Sanchez, 8. Percy Harvin, 9. Michael Oher, 10. Chris Wells.

#2. Q. Harvin or Crabtree?
Vic: Harvin.

What do you guys think. Would Percy Harvin be a good pick at #8?

Poll

Would Percy Harvin be a good pick for the Jaguars at #8? Keep in mind who will probably be off of the board by the time it is the Jaguars turn to pick.

Ummm, No way!!! Too many B.A.G.'s (Best Available Gators) on the roster already.

Jaguars will be on WKMG - CBS in Orlando...Dispite outrage by Fish fans

jagsfanbrunell — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 19:55:12 -0000

Here is what has been going on in my neck of the woods. The local CBS station is under contract by the Jaguars and the NFL to broadcast the Jaguars-Ravens game instead of the Dolphins - Jets game. The local Fish fans are a bit upset, to say the least. Orlando is the Jaguars' "second team market area" and the local CBS affiliate is required by contract to show all of the Jaguars away games. Even the local newspaper writer adds fuel to the fire about this dispute between the network and the local Dolphin fans.

I however, am very glad that this is going to happen. You see, I live in Cocoa and drive 2 and a half hours every home game weekend to see the Jags play in Jacksonville. I don't know anyone around here or in Orlando that drives to the Dolphins game. Jacksonville is geographically much closer than Miami. The fans that buy home tickets and attend the games deserve to see the away games on TV. When the TV contracts are agreed upon, there is no way to know what teams will be playing for this late in the year. It does suck that the Fins, Bucs, and Jags can't all be on TV here locally, but I think the Jaguars fans that go to the games do deserve to see the away games on TV.

Check out these two articles and postings in the Orlando Sentinel. Feel free to comment or post as they do not require any registration. The article writen by Jerry Greene is extreemly bias and rediculous. Just check it out for yourselves. Very amusing.

Sunday before kickoff party or event?

jagsfanbrunell — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 14:53:33 -0000

Alright! Another exciting week of Jaguars football! This is the game that I have been looking forward to the most to this point in the season. Prime time Sunday Night Football, the Steelers, John Madden on the mic, it doesn't get any better than this. Well, if we win the game, that would be better.

Anyone going to the game? I have season tickets and I'm bringing my girlfriend's sister and her boyfriend who are huge Jags fans (thanks to Reggie Nelson). They are fom Palm Bay, where Nelson went to High School, and are very excited to attend there first Jaguars game.

We are driving from Cocoa, FL and are staying in the Hyatt next to the Landing. My question is does anyone know if anything is going on during the day prior to the game down town? We're just looking for a Jaguar themed pregame celebration somewhere. Please let me know if you can think of any place that would be fun to go to prior to the game. Thanks for your help, enjoy the game, and GO JAGS!!!
