My impressions from this game:

 

1. Very optimistic about Bortles. If he can stay healthy, the Jags will have their first true franchise q.b. since Brunell.

2. The running game will be the team's strength. Having 3 solid players who possess different skill sets will enable the Jaguars to control the clock and give the defense the rest that they didn't have last year. It also opens up the passing game.

3. Parnell was a great pick-up. He and Linder make a great combo on the right side.

4. Not so sure about House. Let's hope that touchdown to Bennett was due more to opening game nerves. At last they have good depth at the position in case he's a bust. As was mentioned earlier, Reynolds had a solid game and has a chance to beat out Harris.

5. Thomas getting hurt may be a blessing in disguise. He should be ready by game one and there was no need to play him until then. Just hope he is not injury prone as he will be a great weapon for Bortles.

6. Glad they kept Mercedes Lewis as it looks like they'll need him to assist Joeckel when they play the Texans and other teams with elite pass rushers.
