There was a controversial sports film from 1993 starring the incomparable James Caan called "The Program". The theatrical release centered on competition for playing time at a fictional NCAA university, and all of the issues that surrounded the players. In a great quote from the movie, LB Alvin Mack proclaimed, "Let the paramedics sort them out".

For Jacksonville Jaguars Head Coach Liam Coen, it's not that dramatic of a situation. However, it is imperative in the new regime that the team storms out of the gate and gets it right early on as far as personnel. In the spirit of the aforementioned movie's running back battle, there will be an interesting battle for left guard in Duval with a holdover and an eager rookie looking to establish a legacy of his own.

The combatants will be six-year vet Ezra Cleveland, who started all 15 of his games played in Jacksonville, and second-rounder Wyatt Milum, an upstart from West Virginia University.
