Love it or Hate it — Wide Receivers
Brian Quick catches a 58-yard TD. Is Quick the next small school GM Gene product?
This past year was quite possibly the most pathetic showing of wide receivers in Jaguars history, OK, not possibly, it was. That’s including the years with Matt Jones and Reggie Williams. The wide receivers this year tanked and didn’t show any signs of improvement until the end of the year, which...

Dunta Robinson Blasts Jacksonville Jaguars Receivers
There may not be a worse unit in the NFL than the wide receiver corps of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Following the Jaguars embarrassing 41-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, Falcons cornerback Dunta Robinson told Charlie Bernstein of Fox Sports how bad he thought the Jaguars receivers were.
“Those guys couldn’t get a f***ing wide receiver if it hit them in the head. They haven...

Kentucky Wildcats Football: A deeper look into the struggles at receiver
Why do I have a picture of former Arkansas quarterback, first round draft pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars (who converted him to receiver), and cocaine addict Matt Jones on the top of this post? Because switching positions is tough, and that's the subject of today. I hope that the Kentucky players who are having a tough time do not resort to the cocaine snorting escape that...

They’re Going the Wrong Way!
The Jacksonville Jaguars are a franchise that is discombobulated. The picture above pretty much confirms that.
They’re really hasn’t seem to be any direction from the front-office with their offseason moves that last several years. They haven’t had a franchise QB since Coughlin era, when Mark Brunell was under center. Byron Leftwich was a statue under center...

Rad’s Reflections: 2011 Draft
The draft has come and gone, and I feel that it is time for us to sit down and digest what we all witnessed. 254 young men have officially risen from the ranks of college boys to NFL men, which means that the stupid mistakes they made as impoverished youth with be multiplied tenfold now that they are making more money in a year that you and I will see in our entire lives. Lovely...

Gene Smith Has Jaguars Heading In Right Direction
In Gene we trust!
When Jaguars General Manager Gene Smith took control of the Jaguars roster after a disappointing 2008 season he had a vision for the future of the franchise.
This new direction became apparent to Jaguars fans as they saw many of the “character issue” guys and mistakes of the Shack Harris era sent packing because they did not fit the identity of the new look...

We contacted close to 70 blogs asking if they’d like to participate. We heard back from some and were turned down by a few. But we worked too hard on putting this together to not publish what...

NFL waivers: Updating cuts since yesterday
Julius Jones is no longer a Seattle Seahawk. The veteran running back does not do well in shared backfield situations or committee types and only seems to do well when given the lion’s share of the carries. Even if he’s picked up by another team, it’s not likely he’ll get the rock often enough to get his motor going.

When he was drafted in the sixth round, Briscoe was thought to be a darkhorse to make the roster due to his athleticism and his uncanny ability to make tough catches. However, he was caught in a numbers...

Bengals-Colts Review
It was a very impressive show by the Bengal offense Thursday night as the final cuts just got even more difficult for the coaching staff and Owner Mike Brown. With the first-teamers getting very few, if any, snaps, it was the back-ups that shined; each making their individual cases to stay on the team. The 30-28 Bengals victory proved that the team can, in fact, occasionally...

9/3/10: Rostertology’s final 53 prediction
There are some years when getting down to 53 players is easy and others where it can be as difficult as ever. After five preseason games, there are about five spots that remain up in the air with the Bengals.
They have to pare 22 players of their roster by 6 p.m. Saturday. The biggest question mark remains what will they do with the sixth receiver spot? Jerome Simpson has had a...

It’s the last preseason game for both squads, so don’t look for starters to play more than a series or two. The purpose for this game is mainly to determine who will fill the...
