Jacksonville get Croyle

Jacksonville sends a 2009 6^th round and a 2010 5^th round draft pick to the Chiefs for QB Brodie Croyle.

Injury Alert

Rookie LE Chris Ellis severely pulled his hamstring and will miss the entire preseason and possibly the season opener

Jags sign a few

Jacksonville signs a few recently released players; FB Dan Kreider, WR Eddie Kennison, and Demario Minter.

Taylor hurt

HB Fred Taylor and TE Marcedes Lewis separated their shoulder and will miss the last preseason game and 3-4 more games into the season.

1-3 Pre-Season

Jacksonville finishes 1-3 in the Pre-Season after what appeared to be a overhaul of several positions. While many fans are throwing a fit over the ‘poor’ performance many experts expect at least a .500 season under the new coach.

Pre-Season Promise

Owner Expectation: Finish Above .500
Current Status: On the Hot Seat
Promise: Finish Above .500

[Sanchez_Mareno]

Great pick 1st up with Kenny Phillips and good move getting Garrard some targets. I thought the most interesting choice was John David Booty

[Sanchez_Mareno]

Biggest weakness looks to be the LB core. Why would you have a veteran wideout holding back two rookies from getting playing time

[Kahuma]

Star/Rookie Player Analyst

QB
David Garrard

Garrard has a successful career so far, throwing for 6049 yards in 6 seasons, spending most of them as a backup. Last year Garrard threw 2509 yards, 18 TDs, and only 3 INTs finishing with a 102.2 QB rating. Garrard is expected to succeed even more with the revamped receiving core.

Future: Expect Garrard to continue to be Jacksonville’s QB for the next few years.

John David Booty

4^th round draft pick by the Jaguars, he’s currently in learning mode and sits as the 3^rd QB on the Depth Chart. Hailing from USC high expectations for this prospect but don’t expect any playing time unless both Garrard and Croyle go down.

Future: Unless he struggles if called on, he’ll remain the 3^rd QB and mostly inactive.

RB
Maruice Jones-Drew

Jones-Drew was a rookie standout two years ago and is one of the top RB heading into the season. While splitting carries with Taylor hurts his overall production, he still finished with 768 yards and 9 TDs last year.

Future: Young and a lot of potential; should be the starting RB for years to come.

FB
Dan Kreider

Kreider is an elite blocking FB able to blow over even the best offensive linemen. He played his entire career with the Steelers before being signed to Jacksonville’s squad.

Future: Even at his age he’s still an elite FB and should remain with the team for a next couple of years.

WR
Bernard Berrian

After an overhaul of the WR position Berrian was brought in to be the number one option. In the prime of his career he should produce quite well and hopeful puts up better numbers than his days in Chicago.

Future: Should be the number one option for the next few years.

Reggie Williams

The only original Jacksonville receiver, Williams has developed into a strong 2^nd option after his 629 yard, 10 TD season last year. 6’4 he has good height and will be a strong, tall target.

Future: Should be a strong option for years to come along Berrian.

Early Doucet

Coming fresh out of LSU Doucet was a deadly WR in college. Though only 6’0 his speed is expect to set him apart from others and make a deep ball threat.

Future: Was locked in for 4 years and hopefully will produce greatly as a slot WR.

Malcolm Kelly

Drafted out of Oklahoma, Kelly is a top WR prospect. A tall, 6’6 WR he’s expected to fill this Jacksonville team with youth and a future.

Future: Should be good for the next three years, production will determine an extension.

Mario Urratia

A WR out of Louisville, Urratia is a project WR. While good speed and leaping ability, his hands need a little work. Will spend most time inactive and learning the playbook.

Future: Unlikely to last his contract unless he steps up for an injury and performs.

RG
Jordan Gross

Gross is the best linemen on this team and is expect to be a leader on and off the field. A big offseason sign, Gross’ presence will hopefully increase the overall strength of the line.

Future: Leader of this line, Gross should be a key player in the next several years.

RE
Chris Ellis

Recoverying from a training camp injury, he’s expected to start this season. Ellis is coming from Virginia Tech and was a pass-rushing force and is expected to be one here.

Future: Apart of an already weak defenseive line, Ellis needs to perform well to have a future here.

RE
Eric Baker

Out of Michigan State, Baker was also a pass rushing fiend. While not having the prestige as Ellis, Baker can hold his own and is expect to also start this season.

Future: On a short leash than Ellis, production will determine fate.

DT
John Henderson

The only true veteran on this defensive line, Henderson has to be a leader. He must be a force so his fellow lineman can be effective. While only 24 sacks in his 6 year career, all with the Jags, he’s an elite DT and a force.

Future: Will be a leader for several years, teaching the younger DL.

Frank Okam

Will start along Henderson after being drafted from Texas. Okam is a big linemen and hopes to draw attention away from Henderson. Okams success will depend on his fellow rookie teammates.

Future: Could lose job to fellow rookie DT Hank Smithers if he fails to produce.

Hank Smithers

Coming out of Texas A&M, Smithers was a low-profile DT. He spent most of his time clogging the middle which led to low-stat production but he has the ability to stop the run.

Future: Could be called on if Okam is unable to make results.

MLB
Mike Peterson

A veteran, Peterson will have to lead this linebacker core. The linebacker positon looks to be the weakest for the Jags and Peterson will have to prove he’s worth his 4.7M contract. Only getting in on 70 tacklezs last season, his age could be a factor.

Future: If unable to produce he will be replaced.

CB
Rashean Mathis

A star CB, Mathis has been with the Jags in all 5 years of his career. While a bit downhill in production he is still considered an elite CB and a force for this defense.

Future: Getting a bit older, production could be suffering but should be okay for the next few years.

Marcus Trufant

Signed to line up opposite of Mathis, Trufant was a force in Seattle, getting 7 INTs last season along. Trufant is expect to make this team hard to pass against and deadly to force turnovers.

Future: 5 years on his belt and only 25 makes him prime to stay for a much longer run than Mathis.

SS
Kenny Phillips

Rookie out of Miami, Phillips was a college star. Jacksonville picked him up on their 1^st round draft pick to start imminently. Phillips has lots of promise and high expectations.

Future: Will be hard to let him go if he doesn’t produce so his future should be okay for the next few years.
