I don't know how many of you are watching the Olympics but I figured I'd make a spot for all of us to chat about it anyway.

I'm looking forward to gymnastics and the road cycling road race and individual time trial as well as the track cycling events. Hubby is all about beach volleyball. We'll probably catch the swim events as well. 

Anything you guys are looking forward to watching?

For offense, 3 WRs and 1 TE

For the defense, let’s just say it’s base 4-3

The wait is over and the Dead Zone comes to an end. It's time to go camping!

Here's the NFL.com preview for a list of stuff we can talk about the next few weeks.

Personally I'm most excited to see all our new big men take the field. If Morse and Foster can shore up the Oline and Smith and Jefferson can give us help in the middle of the defense then I think all the rest will fall right into place.

LET'S GO!

July 18 will be the unveiling

Sneak peak vid looks like a white pant with old school 90's outlined stripes and a teal jersey with the prowling Jaguar on the sleeve.

The Paris Olympics is turning into a catastrophic financial flop (msn.com)



"In reality, the economic case for staging the Olympics has always been shaky. Even so, Paris is turning into a catastrophic financial flop, with tourists avoiding the city and travel slumping. It is about to kill the Olympic juggernaut stone dead..."

That's right folks, football is not that far away again. Training camp opens in 13 days on July 24th and we get to see how this new look roster goes. For me, this has been such an encouraging offseason. We usually 'win' the offseason and are full of hype and hope that usually crash and burns but I think this has been one of our best offseasons for some time. Lawrence resigned, Josh resigned, new stadium agreed, new DC, rebuilt secondary and Dline, new WR weapons and new bodies at Oline. There's plenty to be optimistic about and I have a feeling this roster and coaching staff is frustrated how last season ended and have a point to prove.

Should be some great camp battles and while preseason games are something you look forward to until they arrive and then just want them over, there should be some interest to see where players land depth chart wise.

The sun is rising in Duval once again. DTWD

I know you stopped playing Madden years ago, so this one ain’t for you.

They did my boy Ross Matiscik wrong with that 28 ovr. He should have a nice hit stick tho, coming off his 2023 All-Pro/Pro Bowl season.

Here is the top 10 rated Jaguars:

1. Josh Hines-Allen 91
2. Foyesade Oluokun 89
3. Evan Engram 88
4. Travis Etienne 88
5. Brandon Scherrf 85 (I’m stunned)
6. Christian Kirk 85
7. Gabe Davis 84
8. Tyson Campbell 83
9. Arik Armstead 83
10. Mitch Morse 82


19.Lawrence - 76 ovr (bruh)

Madden has Lawrence as the 19th ranked QB. They had to make room for the Baker Mayfields and the Geno Smiths and the Kyler Murrays.

No more Josh Allen sacks Josh Allen when we play Buffalo I guess.

1. Jimmy Smith - in just his 3rd season as a full 16 game starter, Smith racked up a franchise-record 1636 receiving yards in 1999, and led the league in receptions with 116.

2. Reggie Barlow - in 1998, Barlow led the league in Punt Return yards with 555. He also added 747 kickoff return yards, and 168 receiving yards for a total of 1470 all purpose yards, which is still the 2nd most total yards in Jaguars History for a WR.

3. Brian Witherspoon - listed as a DB, and in today’s NFL he would likely have a different career with his game speed. One of the fastest ‘in-game’ Jaguars in team history. In 2008 he was a return specialist and racked up 1250 kickoff return yards and 192 punt return yards for a total of 1442 all purpose yards. To put this in perspective, Jamal Agnew made the Pro Bowl in 2022 with a total of 1025 all purpose yards.

4. Marqise Lee - in 2016 Lee had 851 receiving yards, 35 rushing yards, 3 punt return yards, and 545 kickoff return yards. At face value it looks like an average, run of the mill type of season, but when you add it all up it’s 1434 all purpose yards. Which is the 3rd most total yards in franchise history for a wide receiver. 

5. Allen Robinson - the famous 1400 and 14 season back in 2015 when him and Allen Hurns went crazy. Arob racked every yard from the wide receiver position, which ranks 2nd behind the great Jimmy Smith. And the 14 tubs is still the most receiving touchdowns 9 years later. Arob made it a little easier to let Justin Blackmon go….but man…could you imagine prime Blackmon and prime Arob ‘pre-knee injury’ 

*lot of talk about the offensive line this past season, but Travis Etienne still put up good production in the all purpose category. In fact, Etienne just completed his 2nd healthy season and has registered 2 of the top 17 all purpose seasons in Jaguars History. Back to back 1400+ seasons.

1400 yards or more in a single season has only been accomplished by 12 players in team history, and only 5 players with 2 or more 1400+ yard seasons. Going into his 3rd season, Etienne could have a breakout type of season in 2024, which means he would be in elite company as just the 3rd player in franchise history to have 1400 total yards in 3 or more seasons. (Fred, Mojo, Etienne?)

1. Jones Drew - 6 times 
2. Fred Taylor - 6 times 
3. *Travis Etienne - 2 times 
4. Leonard Fournette - 2 times 
5. Jimmy Smith - 2 times 
6. Reggie Barlow - 1 time
7. Jordan Todman - 1 time 
8. Brian Witherspoon- 1 time
9. Deji Karim - 1 time
10. Marqise Lee - 1 time
11. Allen Robinson - 1 time
12. James Robinson - 1 time
