Although the NFL draft is still 3 months away, I’m starting to have issues with the 1st round pick of the Jaguars. Picking at 7 is generally a good thing to boost your roster (just think to Joe Haden and Aldon Smith – the 7th picks of the draft in 2010 and 2011), I started to feel that the Jaguars will be in No-Man’s-Land with theirs in 2012. I think the Top 5 picks...

Remember This? Source: The Orlando Sentinel Before I get to the Tom Coughlin connection, I’d like to first introduce myself to the Black and Teal nation. My name is Cody Taylor (known on the web as TheeCodyTaylor), I’m 23 and was born and raised in Orlando, FL. I’m a sports junkie and have been since I can remember. I grew up a fan of the Jaguars, and as most Jaguar...

From NFL.com -- Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blaine Gabbert (11) scrambles against the Tennessee Titans in the first quarter of an NFL football game on Saturday, Dec. 24, 2011, in Nashville, Tenn. (AP Photo/Frederick Breedon) Will Blaine Gabbert make progress as a quarterback before the start of next season? I say, with as much emphasis as I can, “YES!” How, I&...

Mario Williams may have been overshadowed for the last five seasons by the fearsome Indianapolis pass-rush duo, Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis, but the quarterbacks of the AFC South no better than to ignore him. In his Monday Morning Quarterback column today, Peter King suggested that the Texans might just let Williams walk in free agency, despite GM Rick Smith recently saying...

Brad Meester, what would we do without you? Source: Bleacherreport.com The offensive line of the Jaguars is grossly underrated.  While injuries have caused problems in years past (remember when Eben Britton played?) and poor performance (remember when Even Britton played?) has plagued the line worse than injuries, the team has somehow managed to put together a cohesive group of...

Why couldn't you just do what I outlined? Source: Bleacherreport Back in September after the victory over the Tennessee Titans, I wrote an article about Luke McCown’s seven yards per attempt.  I outlined how it can alleviate some pressure placed on Maurice Jones-Drew (turns out he didn’t need it) and the running game and open up some plays down field.  I also made...

  Black and Teal editor Luke Sims painstakingly pored through the Jaguars’ receivers over the last few years and I’m sure there were a couple readers who could barely hold back tears as they read it. It looks like Tebow read the article too. Source: imgross.org Nobody who watched the team in 2011 would disagree that a lack of talent at wide receiver was a significant reason...

You Read that Right Jim, You're fired. Source: fannation.com Jim Caldwell was fired by new Colts general manager Ryan Grigson and owner Jim Irsay on Tuesday January 17th.

Someone please make these guys an elite group of pass catchers! Source: Jaguars.com I don’t know if you have noticed, but the Jags’ receivers have been subpar as of late.  And by as of late, I mean the past three years.  Not only have the Jaguars failed to draft or sign an elite wide receiver, nobody on the roster seems eager to even step up and become that man.  Since...

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...

1. Marcedes Lewis will return to the top 5 of NFL Tight Ends. There was something obviously wrong with Marcedes last year and as much as we’d like to blame it on the big contract taking away his motivation, I don’t think that’s the full explanation. Having a new head coach with a consistent demeanor will help Marcedes stabilize and get back on track. Playing in an offense designed...
