Re: A new Jag! (jax hc09)
Relentless Jaguars team smothers Raiders, 37-7
Another week, another huge victory for the Jaguars. They completely shut down the Raiders, setting several personal bests for the young Jaguar Head Coach; holding the Raiders to a total of 156 yards of offense, while Dennis Dixon set a career mark of 251 yards passing, as well as rushing for 2 touchdowns.
The Raiders had no answers, as Maurice Jones-Drew couldn't get out of the backfield, and the Raiders receivers dropped several passes that kept the team from finding any rythym. The Raiders definitely need to address their passing game in the offseason in order to get back to their glory days.
The win moves the Jaguars to 4-1, while the Raiders drop to 1-3.
Approval up to 90!
Contract Time:
LT Khaliff Barnes is asking for a new contract. He's 27, 87/88 ovr, and a stud LT still in his prime. Injury is 85, but he hasn't missed any games... He wasn't asking for much, between 12-14 million over 5 years, but we couldn't reach a deal. I'll make sure to get it done next time.
CB Richard Marshall came over from Carolina this year to help RaShean Mathis. We've had a couple big wins, and he snagged a pick in the big game vs Houston... Ran out of time, couldn't get that done either... hmm
WR Iman Hastings has been a good find, and he'll get his contract. 2 yrs, 2 million... He's the biggest guy I have, and fast - glad to keep him.
LOLB Clint Ingram. Clint was a starter for us last year, but Knox took his job in training camp and certainly isn't ready to give it up. I'm trying to trade Ingram, but so far no luck. I'm going to let him hit free agency and hope my constant refusal to re-sign him doesn't hurt my approval much.
WR Sinorice Moss - I wanted to re-sign him too, he's fast, can catch, can return kicks... he wanted a cheap deal too, but he walked out. My GM needs to work on his attitude I think...
LT Nat Dorsey - he's too valuable to let walk. He's been a key reserve, able to cover anywhere I need him to, never gets hurt... 3 yrs $1.75 million 500k bonus. (plus he's an 82 ovr right now, when his pot is 81! Overachiever! LOL!)
RB Steve Slaton was signed to be a 3rd down/scatback kind of player for us but he hasn't had many chances (not his fault) He doesn't want much at all, so he's an easy guy to re-sign for 2 yrs, $720k, $100k bonus. I'm going to try to give him some more carries if we get any more big leads...
FB Greg Jones went to the Pro Bowl last year, but was hurt all season up to the Texans game, and then got hurt right after he came back. He's 28, (80/81) and a team captain - but his injury is 75 and getting worse. I can't see locking him up long term. Maybe if he stays healthy in the next few games... but I don't know. I also allowed him to seek a trade, though it appears no one's interested yet.
DE Roderick Green re-signed for 2 years, $1.28 million with a $250 k bonus. He led the team with 6 sacks last year, and has a couple this year already. He's not a dynamic pass rusher, but he's been solid. I've been giving more and more snaps to rookie DE Dusty Bowman to try to get some better results; otherwise I need to make a serious move here to help Abiamiri out. Regardless, Roderick earned this contract, and it'll be nice to have a reserve I can count on.
Up next!! The Miami Dolphins host the Jaguars in a matchup between two early surprises... The Dolphins are 3-2 and coming off a 2 game winning streak, while the Jaguars are 4-1 and could really make a statement with a win here.
Similar to the Raiders, an ineffective QB is fending off a more talented young challenger. This time it's John Beck (12 tds, 24 picks in 2008) battling Biff Below (and Ken Dorsey). In John's defense, he only had 12 TDs all year last year, but has 11 so far through 5 games this year, so something's going right! RB/FB combo Ronnie Brown/Reagan Mauia is extremely talented, and the receiving corps is kind of a hodgepodge, but getting it done. Mike Furrey teams with former Jag Legedu Naanee and rookie Byron Campbell.
DE Matt Roth (10 sacks in 2008) and soon to be HOFer Jason Campbell (5 in 08) are the ends, while the mammoth Ted Washington (83 ovr) is still starting at age 41, showing his heart is second to none.
Curtis Boone, Zach Reeves and AJ Davis give the Dolphins 3 rookie starting linebackers and young Kevin Burnett (24 yrs) is the veteran in the 3-4. Brandon Flowers is the starting corner with Deltha O'Neal, who seems reborn and has 3 picks on the year. Ken Hamlin and Lawyer Milloy are greybeards at the safety position, but still very effective players.
Next week is a crucial showdown with the Indianapolis Colts, but the Jaguars can't be looking ahead - and the Dolphins have to face the Patriots next week - what happens if both teams are looking too far ahead??
Which coach will get their team to focus??
HAMMERMILL or COTIGNOLA???
Stay tuned!!
p.s. Hammermill has to be the reason Beck's playing so well right now....wonder if he'll put Tebow/Below under center next year or roll with Beck in 2010?
