JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
* Update: I'm going to add an ESPN feature for the best highlight games of the week and who performed the best each week along with rivalry games, free agency and trade updates, and other features as well. * Hey everyone, I'm new to OS but I love doing Franchise and I thought this seemed really interesting so I thought I would try it out. I'm going to be taking control of the Jaguars and I have seen some creative names for the franchises so I just made up my own which Finishing Strong is because the Jags typically can't finish when they are up early in their division so I'm going to try and turn that around. I will list what I'm going to be focusing on how to improve the team and how I am going to set this up. - Ground Rules: I am going to use Custom slider settings that show realistic stats and I will be playing on 12 minute quarters. I also plan to import my ncaa draft class for the first year, not sure about the rest of the franchise though.
- I plan to revolve my offense around MJD for the first three or four years until I can start to trust Blaine Gabbert.
- During preseason I will decide who I feel is most comfortable at the QB spot: David Garrard or Blaine Gabbert.
- After the 1st year I think I'm going to try and draft a stud WR if I get a top 10 pick unless any of the other WR's other than Mike Thomas seem promising. I feel like most of the defense is set with Aaron Kampmann and Austen Lane at DE, Paul Posluszny (who I think is a beast), Clint Session and Daryl Smith at LB, Reshean Mathis at CB, and Dawan Landry at FS. I might try to pick up a decent SS in Free Agency along with maybe another Corner just to improve the pass defense.
- For the offense I believe I will be fine with Gabbert for most of my Franchise. I am set with Marcedes Lewis at TE and obviously MJD at RB with Rashad Jennings as a backup which I like. WR is the only position I'm worried about so if I end up doing bad I hope to draft a Justin Blackmon haha.
- I just hope within 4 years I will be a threat to the Colts and Texans and possibly the Titans if Locker ends up playing well under Hasselbeck.
I will post stats for every player each week once the season starts and I will post the final roster/depth chart after pre-season. I will also put up a division watch to see who will be contending for the AFC South title each year. So do you guys think this is a good idea? Or does anyone want to give any other suggestions on who I should pick up in the draft/free agency? Or if I should run this team in a completely different direction? Just let me know I get bored and doing this fills that void and I enjoy doing it =)
