Anger was selected in the third round, 70th overall, in the 2012 NFL Draft, becoming the highest drafted punter since Todd Sauerbrun in 1995 and the first punter drafted by the Jaguars since 2007. He has not disappointed this year though, he has actually been one of the biggest bright spots for the Jags. Anger has punted 19 times this year and has already punted for over a 1000 yards. He has 2 touch backs and 5 inside the 20. He has done a great job at booming the ball this year. His teams have given him the nickname “Banger” because of his strong leg, and to be honest if he keeps this average up, he could be one of the best draft picks in the draft for the Jaguars. He is averaging 52.9 a punt with a net average of 44.1 placing him second in the league. He is doing a wonderful job, and he is a huge help to the starting defense who he helps pin the opposing offense deep. When Anger hit his 66 yard punt the other day, I was amazed, because it had a 5.2 hang time. If Anger can ke...

September 28, 2012
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blaine Gabbert obviously has a pretty boy persona. When he entered the NFL last season, he had long blonde hair and looked more like a model for Abercrombie and Fitch than a football player. If he had the physique of a Tim Tebow, he could easily start peddling ‘I can’t believe it’s not butter’ spread like Fabio and there’s nothing wrong...

The Jaguars went on to lose the game 27-10 after struggling offensively all day long. It would seem that Jaxson de Ville can catch as well or better than the receivers the Jaguars...

At 4:05 PM EST, the Jaguars (1-2) host the Cincinnati Bengals (2-1) in a game featuring oddly similar defenses. The Jaguars' unit is considerably better than the Bengals in points allowed, but when yardage is compared, they're nearly identical in total yards, rush yards and pass yards allowed.
With that in mind, it seems likely that the two sides' offenses...
