This is a pretty nice video of Polamalu's career. Regardless of your feelings for the Steelers in general you can't not respect this man. I had no idea his nickname was Tasmanian Devil. It's definitely fitting! We're only shown once we he trucked MJD pretty good. He was merciless against Cleveland. I imagine they were thankful when he finally retired. I've always loved the guy, my favorite player that's not a Jag. I loved when we were in the same division with the Steelers. It was a great rivalry. Anyway, enjoy!

ETA: I hate the NFL. Just let us watch stuff where we want to. Idiots.

I have only one response to what Trevor says in the article ,not talks about team feeling the urgengly.


PROVE IT!!!!

In honor of Valentine's Day, name 3 players you'd LOVE to see the Jaguars take in each of the first 3 rounds. Must have at least a slight chance of being available.


Round 1:

1. JPJ: He's deserving of the hype.

2. Taliese Fuaga: Mauler at guard or tackle.

3.Olu Fashanu: Initially a consensus top 5 pick, but has dropped. Would be hard to pass on at 17. 


Round 2:

1. Ladd McConkey: Love this kid and the comparisons to Puka Nakua.

2. Troy Franklin: Another excellent receiver to possibly replace either Zay or Ridley.

3. T'Vondre Sweat: Probably top pick of these 3 due to combination of athleticism and mammoth size.


Round 3:

1. Ricky Pearsall

2. Kiran Amegadjie: Injury may cause him to drop here.

3. Christian Haynes: In case they don't get JPJ.

Add your plays of the year for offense and defense.

Here are a few candidates:

-Engram with the OBJ 1 hand-catch against the Colts as he comes down with the football and gets hit and maintains control of the football

-Oluokun with the “user pick”pick-6 against Saints in PrimeTime as he scores his 1st career TD with the nation watching 

-Zay Jones climbs the stairs as he goes up top to snag a TD on the fingertips vs Bills 

-Etienne with a 62 yard scamper to the house  vs Panthers as the Jaguars got back on track with a dub
 
-Kirk goes Primetime in down in Bayou as he cut the secondary up on his way to the endzone down in New Orleans 

-Lawrence throws a diaper dime to Ridley against Titans 

-Buster Brown got some beads thrown his way in N’oleans as he rejected them to save the game as he defended a would-be TD to help seal the win

-Ridley gets 2 for the price of 1 when he scores a TD and the next play he scores a 2 point conversion to put the Jaguars up on the Texans 21-14

-Lawrence throws a disappearing football @ Texans which goes between 2 defenders and ends up in Ridley’s hands for a 1st down 

-Josh Allen and Travon Walker join forces to get a sack late in the 4th quarter on Stroud to help seal a much needed victory over the Texans

-Etienne with a huge 4th quarter TD that went for 35 yards vs the Bills in London

-The “Cross Bar” said not today my boy, when the football bounced off the cross bar as the Texans attempted a 58 yard game-tying FG with :33 left in the 4th quarter in a 24-21 win

-Darius Williams hits the “triangle button” against Bills’ QB Josh Allen and altered the game as he gets a huuuge interception in London

-Walker with the 100% effort play as he dives on a loose ball and recovered a fumble with :13 left in the 4th quarter which ended all hope for a comeback for Bills’ QB Josh Allen. 

-Ross Matisik with the “hit stick”, forced fumble, and fumble recovery, and credited with 1 tackle all on the same play. This put him in his 1st career pro bowl and all pro selection, which also makes him the best long-snapper by default in Jaguars History. It was also in a win against the division-rival Tennessee Titans.

My nominees are for 2023 Plays of the Year are:

Defense - Walker and Allen joined forces to sack CJ Stroud in week 12

Offense - Kirk with the TD reception in New Orleans 

Special Teams - who else? Boss Ross with the hit stick that changed his life forever

I know there are plenty more, maybe we can narrow it down for offense, defense, and special teams.

This was a bad look if you ask me.  To a hall of fame coach makes it even worse.  Thoughts?

Was already sick of all the time spent on his gf.

Ridley, Kirk and Jones are our starting receivers.
In two years I don't think I can name one time where any of them made a good block on a bubble screen.  Or a run play outside the tackles.

I bring this up because I think the size of our starters is too small.   When the Jags swapped Marvin Jones Jr. for Ridley...the receiving corp got slightly younger and more skilled, but they appeared to lose some of the physicality they had the year before.

Just an IMO.   I hope that whomever we draft with the 1st or 2nd pick has some size and can block in addition to catch, beat his man, run a great route.   

Not asking the guy to block like a TE.   But block well enough to keep a DB from seriously effecting a screen or run play.

Vols ran lots of Zone and little Gap stuff - so it's not looking like a major change in scheme is headed for a run game as of now.

I was reading an old article from October 15, 2002 and it said Wali Rainer had 22 combined tackles against the Tennessee Titans, which is the 2nd most tackles in a single-game in franchise history.

However, I went to Pro Football Focus and it shows Rainer had 13 combined tackles in that game.

Here is the link: go down to “Notes From Titans Game” and you’ll see whoever wrote the article from the Jaguars website said Wali Rainer had 22 tackles (9) solo and it ranks him with the 2nd most tackles in a single game. That would mean he had 13 assisted tackles which would be crazy. I’m over here wondering who has more than 22??

https://www.jaguars.com/news/game-six-ja...ns-5848305

I know Pro Football Focus misses stats here and there: for example Fred Taylor had a 78 yard touchdown reception against the Ravens in week 3, which was his 1st career start, but Pro Football Focus only credited Taylor with 1 rushing TD, even though he scored twice in that game.

A quick search shows Derek Cox has the most solo tackles in a single-game with 16. Paul Posluszny, Rayshawn Jenkins and Foyesade Oluokun are tied with the most combined tackles in a single-game with 18. Rayshawn Jenkins has the most assisted tackles in a single-game with 9.

Does anyone know who holds the team record for most combined tackles in a single-game?

same thing will happen tonight that happened last time these teams played each other in Super Bowl.   

san fran gets off to a hot start, and gets a 17-7 lead going into the half.  after halftime  chefs come out on fire ,and end up takeing game over as they come back to win 34 to 17. chiefs will repeat as champs unforttantly. 

anyone else got a score/team prediction?   to bad both teams can't lose ,i don't like either team really.   you never bet money againest the defending champs in any sport.
