Current Jaguars odds

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, If I Were a Betting Man by ravenhater on Tuesday 29 August 2006 at 6:58 pm

The over/under on Jaguars wins is 9.  The Jaguars are 33-1 to win the Super Bowl and 15-1 to win the AFC.

I suggest a bet on the over because of the weak division (except the Colts) that the Jags play in.  I also think they could win enough games to host some playoff games, so you never know….AFC Champs…..possible at 15-1.

Greg Jones out for season

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page by ravenhater on Monday 28 August 2006 at 8:40 pm

What was first thought was a sprained knee is in fact, a torn ACL.  Jones will miss the 2006 season.  This is a shame, because Jones was going to get to split the carries with Fred Taylor.  Now the Jags need Taylor to stay healthy, because Maurice Drew is too small to be a feature back, and the holdover running backs are not that impressive.

Jaguars outlast Bucs 29-18 on Saturday night

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page by ravenhater on Sunday 27 August 2006 at 12:36 pm

The Jags played a good game last night, especially on defense.  The Jags took awhile to get going on offense because the offensive line was having trouble protecting Leftwich early in the game.  Leftwich hung in there and wound up completing 13 of 20 passes (65.0%) for 167 yards and a TD.  David Garrard finished up, completing both of his attempts for 17 yards and a TD.

Fred Taylor looked good rushing for 37 yards on 9 carries (4.1 ypc).  Rookie Maurice Drew carried the ball 10 times for 42 yards (4.2 ypc).  Greg Jones looked good before injuring his left knee.  Jones carried the ball six times for 24 yards.

WR Matt Jones caught 4 passes for 52 yards and a TD.  Reggie Williams caught 3 passes for 30 yards.

The defense was awesome last night.  The Jags held the Bucs to 58 yards rushing for 2.6 yards per carry.  The Bucs only had 163 yards passing, but they did complete 61.3% of their passes.

Jaguars suffer two injuries to key players in win on Saturday

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, Injury Reports by ravenhater on Sunday 27 August 2006 at 12:27 pm

Linebacker Mike Peterson sprained his MCL in Saturday’s exhibition win over the Bucs.  Peterson will likely miss the opener against the Dallas Cowboys, and maybe more.  Nick Greisen will step in for him.

Running back Greg Jones took a shot on his left knee in the game on Saturday and sprained his left knee.  It is not known yet how much time he will miss.

These two injuries are an example of how dumb it is to play 4 pre-season games.

Jags can boast about having QB depth

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page by ravenhater on Friday 25 August 2006 at 8:49 am

Not too many teams in the salary cap era of the NFL can boast that they have good QB depth, but the Jaguars sure can.  All three of their QBs are playing well in the pre-season and all of them have at least one 50+ yard TD pass.  Byron Leftwich has completed 62.5% of his passes for 152 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT, his QB rating is 88.5.  David Garrard has completed 59.1% of his passes for 258 yards with 2 TD and 2 INT, his QB rating is 92.6.  Quinn Gray has completed 52.2% of his passes for 142 yards and 2 TDs, his QB rating is 100.3.

The Jaguars are in the best position at QB in the league, because any of them could start and do well.
