"Come training camp, Sergio Brown-James Sample battle at free safety may be best one on team. Gus said Sample may run some w 1s next week."
I've had a great feeling about Sample since the draft. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see him starting week 1

Should be interesting to see who they keep out of Storm, Grant, and Pierce. You'd figure it's Yeldon, Drob, Toby, and one more if they're going to be running 3 TE sets some. Another camp battle to keep an eye on.
Not sounding good for Storm then. He didn't impress last year and wasn't a factor on ST.

This is what I am thinking. Yeldon, D. Robinson, and Gerhart are locks in my opinion with one more spot available. My wishful gut says that Grant shows enough to claim that last spot. I think Storm will not impress enough. Which is ok in my book. We are finally getting to a place where 7th round picks are not counted on to start, and in the case of our RB's, not even able to be depth. Now don't get me wrong, I want every pick of ours to have a chance to prove themselves, but it is nice that our depth is looking better all the time. We were expecting 4th to 7th rounders to be impact players for too long. Now, it is an added bonus when they can contribute at a high level.

but i think anybody paying attention without bias could tell you he isn't very good
Johnson had to make significant strides this off season if he wanted to keep hold of a roster spot. Right now it doesn't sound like he's doing much to secure his position.

<p class="">He's been a frequent target for me, but have to hand it to Ace. Every time I look up, he's making a catch. <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/hashtag/jaguars?src=hash'>#<b>jaguars</b></a>
By reading these posts as well as John O's write-up's, it sounds like Marcedes has really stepped his play up.
Yes they are "underwear" practices, but I read both he and Julius have been great in redzone drills. Julius is catching everything, and Marcedes also made a one-handed catch in the middle of the field yesterday.
Hopefully he can keep it up and be a decent checkdown guy for Brotles this season when no one is open or needs to get the ball out quick to avoid the rush. If he can get say 40 catches, and 2-3 TDs i would be happy considering he will be used close to the LOS (blocking/checkdown/redzone).

I wish Lewis would use two hands. He seems to make every throw that goes his way more difficult than need be.

Coach Gus Bradley called out RB Storm Johnson as a player who needs to pick it up at OTAs.
Johnson averaged a pitiful 3.0 YPC on 29 totes as a rookie and is in a battle with Bernard Pierce for what could be just one roster spot. Johnson is an average athlete and had fumbling and pass-protection issues in college. His Dynasty stock is about as low as it gets buried behind T.J. Yeldon and Denard Robinson.

Not a shock about Johnson.

Yeah I think Storm will get cut.
With Toby, Drob, and Yeldon... I'm not sure #4 and possibly #5 RB really matters terribly.
ST play will matter greatly.
Storm does have youth over Pierce, but if he isn't getting the job done, he won't really be missed.
He was only a 7th round selection, right?

Good to hear.
Quote:Tweet from Mike Kaye (@mike_e_kaye) - Interesting note from #Jaguars players: Michael Bennett is consistently praised by veterans. Every day it's a new player, today it was Ziggy

Ziggy is like, "Damn you gonna take my spot" lol
Bennett was a steal in the 6th rd
Sample broke his arm. Expected to return some time in training camp. WONDERFUL
