A few comments on first OTA day for Fowler here: http://jacksonville.com/opinion/blog/400...=hootsuite

 

Main points:

 

Bradley was asked if Fowler has done things in the first two phases of the offseason that tell him Fowler’s athleticism has returned. Bradley’s smile told the story.

“Yes,” Bradley said. “In phase two, individual drill work, you see his explosiveness and his skill set. He’s really done a good job.”

Fowler was impressive on Monday, beating left tackle Luke Joeckel on a speed move inside. While the team is not in full pads, Fowler’s maneuver was eye catching.

“I can turn it loose,” Fowler said. “I felt pretty good, especially turning and thing like that. That was my biggest concern. It felt good getting back out there and being able to showcase some stuff. … It’s been a whole year, so I feel back. I still have to get stronger in certain areas and that will come back.”

Fowler is wearing a brace on his left knee. Without it, it would be hard to tell he’s coming back from a devastating injury.

“It felt good being able to make it through a practice and not having everybody worried and scared,” Fowler said. “We need a pass rusher. We need somebody that can get to the quarterback. That’s my job and that’s what I’m going to do.”

Bradley said Fowler would be managed the first couple of days to avoid a heavy workload, but said all indications are Fowler can handle whatever is asked of him.

Fowler also expressed regret again for a video that surfaced in February showing him watching two women fight. At the time, the NFL said it would investigate the matter, but Fowler has since been cleared.

“I talked to the NFL and it’s all settled,” Fowler said

You either die as a good poster, or live long enough to become the troll.

Can't wait to see him in the regular season finally.

 

We deserved some good news here.

IT WAS ALWAYS THE JAGS

He looks overweight

If he beat Joekel he can beat anyone..... in high school.

It's amazing to me how many Jags fans on this forum. Seem to hate fowler it's not his fault he tore acl and video was nothing. Some reason since he was drafted there's been nothing but negative post after negative post about Fowler. I really think Fowler is going to have some fans changing there toon this season. I so can't wait. Go Jags

Excited to see Fowler. Hopefully, he is as disruptive as Khalil Mack was in his rookie year.

---

No commercial messages in sigs

Can't wait to see him in the regular season finally.

Well I never thought it was a big deal, some on here did tho. Blew it way out of proportion.

He looks overweight

Go tear your knee and recover for a year without putting on a few pounds. Training camp during summer in florida will fix that.

---

He looks overweight

He is supposedly 15 lbs lighter than his pre draft weight.

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!

Don't you have to be here before you can be back?

True that.  I wonder if he's expected to wear the knee brace for the regular season.

that's how's it's always been lets just find something to completely bash on till we can't possibly talk about it anymore then bash it some more 90% of the posters are flip floppers from one page in the game day thread to the next lol

The "Freak Show" is back!!!

Hmmm. That's a good question, my best guess would be to start taking it off late in camp, maybe play through most of the preseason with it and play a series or two without it in the last game and base the season off that.


But I'm not in medical at all so I could be way off

You do know he is a defensive end right?

Yeah, I don't think he does.

Does anyone know if the Joke was playing tackle or guard when Fowler beat him?
