Jacksonville Jaguars Fan Forums

I for one am very encouraged by what has transipired the past few weeks. So we lost a few meaningless non divisional games... Who cares? Why would even bother to show our hand in games that are somewhere between the preseason and the regular season??? With divisional season starting Sunday, for all intents and purposes our season begins this Sunday. Therefore, a few things we have learned as we head into week one vs. the Colts....

 

- One thing we have learned is that In the southeastern part of the country, we struggle to play with a lead. In the nortwestern part of the country, we struggle to play from behind. This is fixable as we do not travel to the west coast again - unless of course Goodell makes us take the long route to London and I cant envision a scenario where we would fall behind again the rest of the season. The schedule is favorable for us from this point on and feel like our guys have matured from the opening three games of the season, or as many like to call it, a murders row of first three games.

 

- Another thing we have learned is that our special teams have once again proven to be second to none. Already this year, Bryan Anger leads the league (the LEAGUE, not the conference or division, I repeat the LEAGUE) in punt yardage. So far this year, he has punted for 1204 yards - second closest is 170 yards behind him, and nearly 350 yards more than New England and almost 700 yards more than Seattle!!! And no I'm not a troll or making this up - here is a reputable website that will prove my point: http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/team/_/stat/punting. I also can't say enough about Josh Scobee - a perfect 100% on field goal attempts and extra point kicks. Note: We cannot fault him for the failed two point conversion against Oakland as he did not participate on that play. Kudos to Mike Mallory, Jags Special Teams Coach, for taking our special teams to a whole new level!!!

 

- Finally, one thing we have learned is that some Jags fans are not very smart. I see all over the message board posts about us needing to draft Teddy Bridgewater. This would be insane! Why in the world would we want four quarterbacks??? We already have three BCS quarterbacks in Gabbert, Henne, and Stanzi, so why waste another roster spot on a 4th qb. Furthermore, Denard Robinson played some quarterback in college at Michigan, so he could always be stuck there in a pinch as well. We need help on both lines, the backfield, the line backer spot and the  secondary, but have such great depth and proven winners at all QB spots. Why even bother taking a quarterback who is clearly benefiting from the scheme of the OC - wouldn't make very much sense.

 

That's all for now. I am excited for this weekend and to see what the rest of this season brings!!!

 

 

This is a joke right?

Anger is 'da man!  Best punter in the nfl.....

 

Whoop, whoop

 

#33

Most of all, this team is 10x better without Andy Heck.

I learned 2 of our BCS quarterbacks stinks in real games...The other one, we haven't seen yet.

Do people not get sarcasm?

OP?  I soooo hope you're kidding...

Seriously?

The feeling is not Mutual Omaha

Best thread in weeks.

Absolutely not a joke. I'm not at a point where I am going to joke about my team - ever. I take my Jags very seriously and just because I am a higher level thinker than most, please do not think I have gone into Jerry Seinfeld mode. We need to rally around our team at this point as the season is still young!!!

Those numbers are irrefutable. We need to shop Anger around while he's hot. Can't rest on our laurels.

I am encouraged that AmeriStanzi has changed his number from "6"  to "2"

 

More closely resembling his #12 preference.     The Jags are getting their house in order for the start of the divisional season.

THIS IS COMPLETELY REAL. GET WITH THE PROGRAM DAMN IT.

Pre-sweetened kool aid is a bad thing...

With the stat's Omaha has provided in relation to Anger, I'm not sure why we aren't shopping him for draft picks.  I agree that Anger is a keystone to our special teams...  However, with our coaching staff, I'm sure we can coach up a dead leg into something very close to Anger.

 

Hear me out.  We go get a FA punter and we trade Anger, I think there are some good FA's out there...  Look, Anger was a 3rd round pick a couple years ago...  But that was when he was an unproven college kid.  He's got 2 great years under his belt, he's in his prime, and there are alot of super bowl contenders that I'm sure would love to have this field position savior on thier team come playoff time.

 

I can see us getting a late first round pick for Anger.  Talk about an upgrade!  We got him for a 3rd, now we can leverage him into a 1st rounder which we can use to shore of the less talented sides of the ball, IE O-line and D-line. 

 

Don't get me wrong, I'll probably weep when we trade Anger, but his talent deserves to be on a contender.  On top of that, our Punt Returning team so far is the point scorers...  We need to do this!  For the Jags and for Legatron

For all intensive purposes.

At least we are leading the League in something, even if its only punt yardage...

 

Sigh...


I listen to the radio, watch tv, or read a sports magazine and on occasion when the Jaguars are mentioned its usually in a joke or about Tebow.

When you go 3 and out often, any punter could lead the league.

Funny how everyone wants the team to get better, but every time we get a good/above average player, they want to trade him...How about we just keep our best players and draft more good ones so we have a roster full of good/above average players?
