Hi, Jaguars fans.     Another former Jaguars QB signs with another NFL team.  Blaine Gabbert returns to The Sunshine State as he signs a deal with the Buccaneers.  Bucs  will be Blaine Gabbert's fifth NFL team, after the playing and started at QB each with the Jaguars, 49ers, and Cardinals. Gabbert was backup to Marcus Mariota with the Titans in 2018, and he now joins the Buccaneers.

Good watch

Bears vs. Packers to open up the 2019 NFL regular season

The NFL season opener has traditionally featured the winner of the previous year's Super Bowl, but that will all change during the 2019 regular season. The NFL announced on Monday afternoon that the Chicago Bears will host the Green Bay Packers at Soldier Field to begin the 2019 season on Thursday Night Football. This will mark the second year in a row the Bears and Packers have squared off in Week 1 against each other.

Another great tournament.  Congrats to PSU once again for dominating as they have done the past 4 years.

My fav is Spencer Lee (Iowa) who grew up in a nearby town in Western PA, went undefeated throughout his 4 years in HS up until the finals in his senor year when he suffered a sprained ankle in the state semis and surprisingly lost the finals in the last seconds (due to a 2 point reversal).  Anyway, he has since gone on to win 2 National Championships in a row in the 125 weight class as a true freshman and a sophomore.  Good kid -- continuously gives credit to his family and teammates.

One of the things about the pre draft season like this is hoping for certain players to be chosen by your team.  Message boards and sports bars all over are being dominated by debates over the desireablility of certain players for their teams.  However, the flip side of that dynamic is simple.  NFL fans hate their divisional opponents and rivals, and do not want to see them succeed.  That is largely dependent upon whether they succeed in the draft.

Accordingly, what player(s) do you NOT want to see go to your divisional foes?

My list: 

1.  Tennessee-Hockenson or Fant.  For YEARS, the tacks have terrorized Jaguars defenses with a liberal use of TEs like Frank Wycheck and Delanie Walker.  With former Patriot Mike Vrabel as tack head coach. he appreciates the benefit of a versatile TE.  The last thing I want to see is either one of these guys end up with the tacks.

2.  Houston-Greedy Williams & D.K. Metcalf, Ole Miss-They have lost a bit from their secondary this offseason, and still have gaping needs in the OL.  I don't want Watson getting any more protection.  But I also don't want that front seven to get any improved coverage from their secondary, giving them an extra count to get to the QB. Greedy Williams could provide that.  He likely won't be there, but I don't want to see him a Texan.  I also don't want to see Metcalf here.  Him working opposite of Hopkins would be a formidable duo.

3.  Indianapolis-Tie Dexter Lawrence, DT, Clemson and D.K. Metcalf, WR, Ole Miss-The Colts had a strong draft last year.  But you could argue they are still vulnerable in the DL, especially against the run.  Lawrence on the nose would make the Colts very difficult to run the ball at them, as he could dominate most centers and clog everything up inside, freeing up their LBs to wreak all kinds of havoc.  As for Metcalf, I have my doubts about him, but if he could succeed anywhere, it would be in an offense with Luck getting him the ball.

Anyway, here is his first round mock.

Guess he got shut down by Ramsey for the last time.

Personally I do not think he has a long enough tenure for a HOF TE, but thats the same argument used against Boselli. Gronk was the very best at his position for a while tho. Will be interesting, I think the 'rings' and being associated with the pats will probably get him in tho.

Since he hasn't turned 30 yet, I guess he could come back, but I don't think he will.

I don't like the first pick for the Jaguars, but the rest of the haul is okay.

I will say this about Gary:  he will hustle.  His lack of productivity doesn't seem to be tied to any lack of effort.

I believe with the addition of Conley, WR is less of a priority for us, but that doesn't mean we won't draft one at all. I just believe WR will take less precedence than some other areas. With that said, I would like to look at what I consider to be a small school "gem". His name is Jazz Ferguson and he hails from Northwestern State. He is huge at 6'4" 227 lbs. on top of that he ran a ridiculous 4.45/40 at the Combine and he had a 37" vertical. His Combine numbers caught my attention, but when I watched his game tapes, I was amazed. This guy looks really, really good. He has soft hands and an unbelievable catch radius. He also showed an ability to run away from defenders in the open field. He also shows some pretty decent "shiftiness" for a receiver of his size and fights for every single yard. He's tough to bring down. Here are some of his highlights below. Is it just me or does anyone else see some resemblance in his play to Terrell Owens?
