Quote:“I’m happy with his effort level,” Marrone said. “I think he’s getting more quality snaps, meaning building on that, which is what you want to see from players. Now, the next thing we need is to just start getting the results, and they will come. It’s a little bit of balance working with him. Sometimes he becomes extremely frustrated because he’s not getting the results that he wants right away, but I keep telling him, this is what I’m seeing. I’m seeing a guy that’s going to be able to play more quality snaps and those things will come. Right now, he’s doing a good job.”
The picture used is scary as hell.
The fact that a speed rush end can put an OT on his butt is telling to how HORRIBLE our OL is. Even if he is a backup.

That tackle is no longer a Jag. He was replaced by a guy that's 6'8" - 344lbs. I don't think you'll see Fowler putting Parnell or his new back-up on their butts.

We'll see.

Poutassi is 6'5 and......344. Doesn't give me confidence.
Dante Fowler's comments seem to show he is realizing maturity was an issue for him last year. He also made a good point about being a top 5 pick by a home state team adding lots of pressure on him to produce results. Nobody wants to struggle on the field early and hear the bust label everywhere there are Jaguars fans. Doug Marrone is certainly going to help Fowler cut down on his penalties, but it looks like Fowler has worked hard at trying to stop hearing referees call his number.

While that actually is kind-of funny, I don't see the point in fretting what Fowler does to a back-up tackle in a practice drill.
All I care about right now is what he's able to do on Sunday against the tinhorns' tackles and guards. The tinhorns aren't exactly flush along their O-Line right now. I'm cautiously optimistic that Fowler, Ngakoue, Jackson and Campbell will pressure Savage into a mistake or two.

It also might be an indicator/telling of how powerful/strong Fowler is. Speed rusher label or not.

This is my hope, too.
I see the Jags racking 6-8 sacks this game.
edit: Ok Ok , 4-6.
Fowler was the best pass rusher we had in the preseason, he is def getting better.
Its funny he has only played 1 year, even tho he has been here a while, but people still wanna call him a bust and we should cut him, crazy can these players play two years before you run them out of town. Very rarely is a player great right away, and thats with all positions in football.
The fact that we're interpreting this as a negative, rather than being hopeful that our 3rd overall pick can have a good year, is also scary. The depths of despair with this fanbase is sad. And the results back it up.

Did you ever notice the people who call him a bust only read stat sheets and hate the Gators? I have yet to read a post about why Fowler should be written off as a bust before he is able to fully participate in a whole offseason, training camp, and preseason with no knee issues. Funny is the wrong word - try illogical.

Completely correct.
I've softened on Fowler. I used to hate on the guy and call him garbage but he has clearly tried to improve this offseason and its showing. He was terrorizing QBs in the preseason. Our pass rush was clearly worse when he wasn't playing.
