Jags DTs Knighton, Alualu have tough competition

Posted August 13, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Terrance Knighton,  Tyson Alualu,  C.J. Mosley
TEAMS: Jacksonville Jaguars
Jacksonville_jaguars_2009_276c
Terrance Knighton and Tyson Alualu have been fixtures as starters at defensive tackle for the Jacksonville Jaguars for two years. Knighton has started all but three games the last three years. Alualu hasn't missed a start since the Jaguars made him their No. 1 pick in the 2010 draft. Things could be different this year. Both are being challenged for their jobs by a pair of relatively unheralded players. D'Anthony Smith has never played a down in two NFL regular seasons. C.J. Mosley is an eight-year veteran who has started nine games in seven seasons.

Even if Gabbert flops, Barkley won't be in Jacksonville

Via The Jaggernaut  |  August 12, 2012
There's an elephant in the room that I'd like to address. It was put there by the national media, and I'd like to push it back out the door. That elephant, of course, is the idea that if Gabbert doesn't pan out, the Jaguars will have the opportunity to draft Matt Barkley to replace him. That's simply not going to happen. The Jaguars are a solid team with...

Jaguars set to have the best TD celebrations this season

The Jaguars organization is in on the donations too, and they will match Mularkey’s $250 for a total of $500 each time. None of this, and the Jaguars will donate...

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blaine Gabbert wasn't on the field for one of the most valuable football lessons he has ever received: Don't let yourself become affected by outside criticism.

Jaguars To Hold Off Activating RB Maurice Jones-Drew Once He Reports

Via GridironFans.com  |  August 14, 2012
It’ll be a surprise if Jaguars RB Maurice Jones-Drew hasn’t returned by the opener because he will miss regular season paychecks if he takes his holdout into the regular season. But Mularkey indicated that Jones-Drew won’t be automatically put right back into the lineup, assuming he decides to return. “We have to obviously spend extra time with him in the classroom and see where...
