To me, at this point, why would either guy be the starting?

Unless Cam and Taylor are somehow not healthy enough to get even limited reps in a preseason game, I don't see the point.

Meanwhile, speaking of rookies starting, Marrone had this to say...

Quote:*Jaguars Head Coach Marrone said he would be willing to start drafted rookies such as linebacker Quincy Williams and tight end Josh Oliver in the regular-season opener even if they have played no preseason games. Williams (knee) and Oliver (hamstring) have missed both games. The two third-round selections were projected to play key roles, with Williams working with the starters throughout the on-field portion of the offseason program and early in camp, and Oliver also working with the first-team often during that time. “I think you’re going to put them in there if they give you the best chance to win,” Marrone said. “If they don’t perform well, then you go to Plan B and get someone else in there right away and move on from there.” Marrone added that wouldn’t be the ideal scenario. “I don’t think anyone’s OK with a guy that’s never really played before,” he said. “I think you’re always going to question what’s going to happen, what’s it going to be like … but sometimes you have to put what you feel are the best players put there.” Marrone said both players are on schedule in their rehabilitation.
I seems like Marrone is extremely conseritive when he says players are on schedule. It looked like Jawaan and Cam had no chance for the Miami game and he was hoping for opening day.The next day they are praticing and it looks like they will play in Thursdays game. So I hope it turns out that Oliver and Williams will be playing in the opener.
