Anyone with a summary? Forbes.com doesn't like my adblocker and I'll be damned if I turn it off for them.

My suggestion to turn your ad blocker off for a second because this is a great article.

Pretty good article. Basically says to stop losing your mind over the Ramsey injury, if reports are accurate he will be back before training camp. He then goes on to single out other players and how their individual values add up to a playoff calibre defense, even in the worst case scenario of Ramsey being out til mid season.

I didn't know he had a microfracture surgery in high school.

Final paragraph from article...


"So don’t let the history of this franchise and recent injury misfortunate cloud you from the truth. The divisional competition is stronger than it’s been in years, but Jacksonville’s newfound balance on both sides of the ball makes them the favorite. And when Ramsey returns they’ll only be that much better."

He didn't even mention Gipson or Amakamura.

Yeah he did.


Page 2...


"Ramsey may be down for now but he wasn’t the only piece added to an emerging Jaguars secondary that already had solid foundational pieces in Aaron Colvin and Davon House. Bringing in former first-round corner Prince Amukamara and 2014 Pro Bowl safety Tashaun Gipson make it more doable for Jacksonville to absorb any regular-season action Ramsey is forced to miss. PFF notes Amukamara has gone 52 games without allowing a 100-yard receiver and he’s also notably strong in run defense. Meanwhile, Gipson struggled a year ago but was a noted playmaker from 2013-20114 when he racked up a combined 11 interceptions and 20 pass breakups in 27 contests. "

I thought Forbes coverage of sports began and ended at franchise values.

wow, really good article. Starting to get excited again... we do have some ballers on this team... If the Coaches do their job and train these Men right, the Jags could be a very good team.
