I say "good news" to this. ^

 

Gratz seems more suited physically. Hopefully they have other options in mind as well.

  I'll certainly be pulling for the day when the vast majority of NFL fans in the Orlando area and beyond prefer watching the Jaguars and totally tune the Dolphins out! :yes:

Haha yea it is, he called a Jaguar fan out for being "fat", haha, so professional.

Walter is some Butt Hurt Bro.

I look forward to serving some crow for the boyz.

I think of Aaron Williams in Buffalo. Considered a disappointment at CB. Moved to free safety and he has been terrific.
I guess there's no chance at re-signing Alan Ball then.

Gratz might have the build for FS, but his skill set isn't suitable for it. There's a reason we drafted him at CB to begin with, and its because of his man cover skills. If the Jags aren't moving Aaron to FS, then Gratz is in trouble.

Merton Hanks was another guy who couldn't cut it at CB who found life at S.

Very doubtful. Unless he wants to play safety.

Yeah this signing closes that door.

Agreed.
No one like Da'Norris Searcy?

I can't follow twitter when people start arguing I have no idea who's saying what in all those retweets.

Quote:Mark Schlereth's comments about Julius becoming irrelevant since he is going to Jacksonville was a low blow. What he said was not spoken from a professional perspective either, it was full of hate. I think he's still bitter from 1996.
 

It could also be he wanted Denver to keep Julius Thomas, being a former Broncos player. I can't blame him for being upset about his favorite team losing one of Peyton Manning's favorite targets. But bitterness about 1997 (the year that game was played) certainly is not something that can go away.

I can't argue with that.

He's probably done in Jax then.

So is Gratz just going to special teams and the 4th CB?

Could be playing his cards close to the vest since that was from last week.
