Here's a great video segment NFL.com did on Del Rio and Garrard... I always love to hear the mic'd up players on the field...

What's everyone's thoughts on what went on in the video?  Does Jack Del Rio seemed to lax on the sidelines for someone on the hot seat? Or do you think players should be loose and just play?

According to Harris Interactive, the Jaguars are America's least favorite team.  We've been at the bottom for 4 out of the last 5 years and honestly, I was not shocked at all by this.  At least I can say I never jumped on the bandwagon!

Fun Fact: in 1999 the Colts were the 27th most popular team, ten years later they are number 4 and have been as high as 2.  If you win, they will come.

The Texans game has changed my whole perception on the season.

You could attribute it to MJD torching the Texans D, or MSW emergence as a go-to receiver, or how the O-line finally gave David a pocket to throw in, or the D making plays (D. Smith sack and forced fumble) when it counted most.  There were so many positives that give me hope for the future.  But the best thing to come from this game?  We got our MOJO (pun intended) back!

There was a swagger that I haven't seen since Stroud, Henderson, and Mike Pete were bouncing to hip-hop during TV timeouts.  I don't know how many smiles I saw, MJD, Holt, and Del Rio were beaming every time they were pictured on the sidelines.  They played loose, responded to every Texans TD, and just acted like they knew they were going to win.  And you know what? For the first time (in a LONG time) I felt the same way.  I wasn't thinking about how we were going to somehow find a way to screw this up (ok maybe a little after the MSW fumble), but even after the fumble I felt the D was going to make a stop.  I was even confident that we were going to win it if we went into overtime.

Something I've always learned playing sports (and being a fan) is to always stay level headed.  Never get to high during the highs and never too low during the lows (although the Jags seem to enjoy the extremes, which will some day give me a heart attack).  While it's great to get this win, we shouldn't blow it out of proportion.  This team, in all likely hood, is not Super Bowl (or probably playoff) bound.  But it gives us some great things to look towards and finally some things to cheer about.  This team IS moving in the right direction, and we're starting to see the foundation being laid for something great.

Believe in these Jaguars.  Get behind these Jaguars.  But most of all, beat the TITANS!!

The Jaguars agreed to a contract extension with backup offensive tackle Jordan Black that could keep him with the team through 2011, according to a source. Under terms of the new deal, Black will make $3.65 million over the next three seasons and has a chance to make another $1.8 million in incentives, the source said. The signing is significant because it could indicate a release of one of Jacksonville's veteran tackles.

Looks like Pashos or Tra is in serious trouble...

I just sat through Vic's BRUTAL Inside the OTA's video segment but as bad as it was, he mentioned the Jags are working on their version of the Wildcat formation.  Vic said they were using Montell Owens and Zach Miller as the up back.  Are we too late to the Wildcat party?  Is it a good idea for the Jags to be working on this new wrinkle in their offense? Do you think we'll actually use it in games?  What are your thoughts on the WildJag formation?

This is Paul Kuharsky's article on his AFC South Blog...

Jacksonville Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver and coach Jack Del Rio will shake things up on the field, in the front office and with the coaching staff after a disappointing season, sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen.

The first change involves defensive coordinator Gregg Williams not returning to Jacksonville. A one-year marriage to Williams is headed for divorce, sources told ESPN.

Philosophically, it hasn't worked, and it wasn't an expensive hire because Williams had one year left at more than $2 million when he was let go by the Washington Redskins.

Williams could reunite with Jeff Fisher in Tennessee if Titans defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz lands a head-coaching job in the offseason.
