The Starting Lineup. Who Are The Building Blocks Of This Rebuild?

#4

Quote:Lets look at players that could be part of the future of the Jaguars

 

QB: None of them.  Gabbert is Garabge, Henne is Horrible, and Stanzi gets no playing time so that speaks in itself

 

RB: I still think MJD can be a good player.  This line is giving him 0 running lanes.  I am not judging him on his stats this year because nobody could run behind this line.

 

LT:  Monroe is a good LT.  He is not elite bue good enough to play at a high level.  Keep him

RG,C,LG:  All of these are gone.  Uche is average, Meester should be retired now, and Rackley is just awful.  I expect Rackley on the bench asap

 

RT:  Joeckle is playing pretty well right now.  Yes he did have a rough start against KC.  Many people are uneducated and see a blitzer gettting free from his side and blaming him.  More often, it's the TE on his side who missed his block.  He played well against Seattle and starting to show he should be a starter. A big upgrade from Whimper

 

WR:  If Blackmon can stay out of trouble, Shorts and Blackmon are a good tandem.  Hopefully the supposed "playmakers" Sanders or Robinson adds to this.  I think this team is good at receiver.

 

TE: I don't know if Lewis will be back.  His cap number is over 6 million and has not produced enough in the passing game. He has yet to play this season but would hope he could provide some kind of receiving threat.  This team needs a deep recieving threat at TE.

 

DE: Babin will most likely be gone. In his late 30's and his cap number jumps to over 6 million makes that improbable.  Alualu surprisly in actually serviceable. Alualu is a natural 3-4 DE.  He is not a pass rusher but a guy who is strong enough to hold his point in the running game.  Note that most of the big runs against this team have been from the inside.  Mincey has been invisible for MOST of this season. We need atleast 2

 

DT: I like Marks. Marks will give you a few QB pressures a game. He struggles in the running game.  There isn't another DT on this team worth mentiong. This is a big area of need.

 

LB: Poz will probably be back.  Hayes is a decent outside lb. Allen stinks. Yes He racks up the tackles after he gets beat.  Allen and Hayes would both be backups on most teams.  Need a upgrade

 

DB; Cyprien is showing promise.  Yes he does get burned in the passing game but he also makes a few plays a game.  In the last 2 weeks, Cyprien has had 2 forced fumbles including a QB strip/sack.  That is playmaking ability.  Gratz has been very impressive as a rookie too bad his injury has kept him out because this secondary has missed him.  Lowery is ok but brings some veteran leadership.  Another starting CB this secondary could become very good when healthy.

 

In a nutshell this team has a long ways to go.  If the team is smart and drafts well in combination of getting good FA this could be a quicker turn around.  If the team continues to be frugal in FA and just build through the draft this could be a very long process. 
 

 

The roster has plenty of holes, however if the Jaguars can shore up the interior of the offensive line and find consistent competent QB play I believe this team can compete as early as next season. We're historically bad on offense because we don't win at the line of scrimmage and don't have QB that is good enough to overcome such a deficiency. I expect the offense to make huge strides next season as it will certainly be the focus of David Caldwell.
