The Jaguars 19-14 loss to Miami was worse than the final score would indicate. Jacksonville trailed 13-0 by halftime, when most of the starters were in the game. The Jaguars starters played so poorly, that may of them asked Jack Del Rio to play in the third quarter, but that wasn't part of the plan, so the starters didn't return after halftime. The following were the questions that I had before the game. I've included the answers that the game produced.
Q: Will Fred Taylor play? A: Taylor did play, but carried only four times for seven yards. Not exactly what Fred will expect in the regulars season. But truth be told, it was more important for Fred to get tackled than for him to make some big runs. Fred probably got hit fewer times in training camp than any healthy Jaguar. He needed, and maybe still needs, to take some hits to get his body ready to bounce back.
Q: Will Troy Williamson showcase his speed? A: Williamson showed his speed on one play, but David Garrard was hit as he throw and the ball fell well short. Williamson did record a catch in the game. Whether he'll impact the Jaguars offense remains to be seen.
Q: How will Mike Walker's hands look? A: Walker was better in the second game than the first, but he missed an opportunity to score a touchdown. Walker appeared to catch the ball, but as he went to the ground the Miami defender got a hand into Walker's breadbasket and poked the ball out.
Q: Will the Jaguars Pass Rush show up?. A: In a word
