Jacksonville Jaguars OTA No. 8 Notebook: Lawrence Limited, Shenault Flashes and Secondary Dominates - Sports Illustrated Jacksonville Jaguars News, Analysis and More

Some things I think are interesting from this report from John is how Marvin Jones was a consistent target for the QB's. John mentioned how Gardner in particuluar seemed to favor him. There also continues to be a lot of positive talk about Laviska, which I am glad to hear and he also talks about how well the defense played today including Sidney Jones.

It sounds like Joe Cullen is also having a nice influence on the defense. Also, CJ Beathard continues to struggle and things are quiet on the Tebow front. Though this seems to be a really quiet OTAs from the Jags in general. It seems like other teams are showcasing their players more than the Jags have been doing.  (And that's even factoring in the Tebow factor).

Shipley is awesome. He’s a great follow.

I like Shipley. He's come a long way.

I remember years back when he wrote for the Palatka paper and started a twitter thread complaining about a Jags coordinator running too many screens.  He posted like 10 gifs of the plays he was complaining about and 4 or 5 were not screen plays at all. Just basic RB swing passes or quick outs and not screens in any respect. Not a block in sight. 

Anyway -  the football IQ has improved a great deal and I like his balance of being a fan to a small degree and an objective reporter at the same time. I know that's contradictory, but he strikes a balance with it somehow.
