I love drinking Teal kool aid and remaining positive but let's not be delusional on the facts!


The Jaguars biggest weakness is DBs primarily at the Safety position, and the OLine was the worst but Ast HC Doug Marrone has made huge improvements with very little time and two decent Free Agent upgrades.

I felt that Sergio Brown has been a huge upgrade at FS but he is still league average at that role, but to us Jaguar fans he seems like a ProBowl FS in comparison to what we have seen in the last few years with Josh Evans among others.

I was happy to see 2nd year SS Loston step up and play almost as good as Jonathan Cyprien and hope to see him improve against the Lions.  I am a bit worried to see McCray get injured as the team doesnt really have great depth at CB should anything happen to House or Colvin with McCray injured it can go really wrong in a hurry.

 

I think Blake Bortles has improved a bit, but I am worried that the horrible Oline last year has made him panic at times in the pocket.  Hopefully he will learn to trust his OLine (and hopefully they will improve enough that he can build that confidence with them).  Once he knows they have his back, and the WRs can remain healthy & stop dropping the ball our Offense should be improved greatly.. of course the biggest question is how good is TJ Yeldon..

so far when you look past the hype of our RBs they are still avging 3 yards per carry.   I am hoping that Corey Grant gets at least 10 reps against the Lions to prove he deserves a roster spot.

 

 

To ensure I remain on the positive note...

 

I would say as a huge positive is the OLine.  It's very easy to see how quickly they have improved from the leagues worst to average... and hopefully they can improve to great during the season...

Our Placekickers is a huge positive as well giving the fantastic Scobee a run for his money is a wonderful thing with Myers.

Another big plus is the Run Defense even with our depth has been really, really good!
