  DL + OLB - 2024 Edition
Posted by: NYC4jags - Yesterday, 12:20 PM - Replies (14)

Jags have added a productive interior pass rusher and overall defender in the middle with the Armstead signing. 

They have quality OLB starters in Allen (presumed to sign new deal soon) and Walker (entering 3rd year on the rise)

Today they inked some depth at OLB in Trevis Gipson:

We don't know what to expect from Hamilton.
We don't know how the new staff feel about other pieces on the roster.



What additions or changes do you expect in the coming 6 weeks?

  Amit Patel article
Posted by: jaglou53 - Yesterday, 11:27 AM - Replies (9)

There was a very good article today in the Athletic regarding the Amit Patel embezzling scheme. Patel spoke to the writer, Katie Strang, from his attorney's office last week. This article is worth reading for several reasons:

1. How could the organization not be aware that $22 million was being stolen by an employee? This total lack of financial oversight says a lot about the Jaguars' organization as a whole. This helps to answer questions we've all had about several mind-boggling decisions made by this organization. The one that tops my list is Gus Bradley getting a contract extension following a 3 year record of 12-36. The team was rewarded for their decision with Bradley leading the team to a 2-12 record the following season before getting fired. We all have our favorite team "blunders" but can we really be surprised Khan's organization failed to detect what was happening with Patel?

2. Patel's gambling addiction was thoroughly described by himself and the writer. It's hard to imagine anyone feeling sorry for Patel considering the fact he used much of the $22 million to fund a jet-set lifestyle which included fancy cars, expensive jewelry and a new condo, to name just 3. However, the article explains how gambling sights like Fanduel and Draftkings make it tantalizing for gamblers to continue betting despite having already lost huge sums of money. Gambling addiction has only become a greater problem with all the venues available. 

3. Will this embarrassing incident motivate Shad Khan to hire people to improve the oversight needed in many areas of the organization? If it does, I hope he starts with finding someone to oversee the scouting/draft process who has the power to make final draft decisions, especially if Baalke and Pederson disagree on a potential pick. Rick Spielman had apparently been considered for this role, but he is now with the Commanders. It's too late for this to happen before next month's draft, but the Jaguars cannot afford to repeat the failure of 2023.

  Jags add Arik Armstead let's discuss
Posted by: surfon - 03-15-2024, 03:14 PM - Replies (45)

So glad we got a class act and a much needed DT like him.  Appears to be 3 years 51 mil not sure of guaranteed money.

If it was between him and Ridley I will take him.  Looking forward to seeing an improved push for the interior D line.  If him and Hamilton are healthy should be a good duo.

Just delicious that he chooses to hang em up once the flurry of FA signings is done.

Congrats to him on a great career, screwing the ROMs on the way out the door is just icing on the cake.

  2024 NFL Mock Draft - Post FA
Posted by: Caldrac - 03-14-2024, 11:27 AM - Replies (8)

Ideally, this would be nice. Getting two starters off the bat. King at CB helps. Adding Bortolini, Zinter and Cohen for bodies to develop in the interior on offense.

Lee is depth at DT potentially. Watts is depth but tested very well and has promise at Safety. Should be on special teams at the minimum. [Image: a94527200538088df934a0a92970f9e1.jpg]

  Rewind - A Moment in Jaguars History
Posted by: JagFanatic24 - 03-13-2024, 08:24 PM - Replies (11)

It was 1997 and the Jaguars just came off a magical playoff run in just their 2nd season of existence. 

Preseason game against the New York Giants, and defensive lineman Jesse Armstead hits Mark Brunell low and causes Brunell to leave the game with a knee injury. We later found out that he would miss the start of the regular season, which would move Rob Johnson in as the starting QB. 

Week 1, the Jaguars face the Baltimore Ravens and Rob Johnson had a game for the ages. Still the highest completion percentage for a single-game and the highest passer rating for a single-game, for a QB that started the game. Johnson finished the game with 325 total yards and 3 total TDs with a completion percentage of 83.33% and a passer rating of 145.5 

Most importantly he battled a high ankle sprain during the game and Johnson was carted off the field at one point. He came back into the game, down 27-21, with his ankle heavily taped up and was able to throw the final TD pass which helped the Jaguars win the game 28-27. 

The butterfly effect of Armstead hitting Brunell and causing a knee injury, led to Johnson having the best game of his Jaguars career and his only start in Jaguars History in week 1 of the 1997 season, which then led the the Buffalo Bills trading their #9 overall pick in the 1998 draft for Rob Johnson, which then led the Jaguars to pick future hall of famer Fred Taylor, who finished his NFL career with 14,079 total yards, and he became a Jaguars Legend. 

I remember watching that preseason game against the Giants and I would have never guessed Brunell’s injury would have turned out like it did. 

It ended up being a huge moment in Jaguars History, 27 years ago…
