richard collier update

according to espn.com, collier is paralyzed from the waist down and had to have one of his legs amputated, he was shot 14 times, it seems that they did not lead on to how serious he got shot at first, obviously his football career is over, its to bad to see someone who worked really hard and was about to make a good career for himself have it end so suddenly

Let's Look at the Positives

Its very easy to look at all the negatives from the game yesterday because their were a lot of them but their was also a few positives.

First- Brian Witherspoon might turn out to be the steal of the draft. Two great kickoff returns and also one big punt return. If he gives the Jaguars that kind of field position all year, eventually we will capitalize on it.

Second- Matt Jones had a really good game. He did all the things that everyone has been knocking him for, catching the ball in traffic, fighting for extra yards and who knows what he would have done if Garrard would have had a little more time.

Third-Moving Brian Williams to safety looks like a very good move as well. He made a couple of good stops to stop the Titans on third down and he didnt get exposed in the passing game like he did numerous times last year.

Fourth- I dont think that Garrard or the offensive line or the running backs can play much worse, so it should be all on the rise from here on out.

Lastly-The three teams expected to be ahead of us in the AFC, the chargers, colts, and patriots all lost. Yes I know the patriots won their game but they lost something much more important in Tom Brady.

One little rant- Jack, go back to wearing the Costa's, those aviator looking sunglasses makes you look like a panzy, also Garrard, dont be laughing on the sidelines after two interceptions and a fumble as were losing the game, look like you care a little more.

Ticket Sales

does anyone know how the ticket sales were going, i thought the last estimate was about 1000 season tickets left but does anyone know how the single game ticket sales are going, we need to sell out every game and have no blackouts this year i am sure that we wont have any trouble selling out most of the games but i worry that if the jaguars stumble at the start of the season, then people wont be inclined to buy single game tickets as the season goes along
