Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Indianapolis Colts

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, This Week's Matchup Report by ravenhater on Friday 8 December 2006 at 10:57 pm
The Colts have lost 2 of their last 3 games and are starting to show cracks in the foundation of their team.  The Jaguars are 5-1 at home this season and have out-scored their opponents 150-47 in those games.

The Colts will probably come out running the ball to attempt to keep their own defense off the field.  Joseph Addai (845 yards rushing) and Dominic Rhodes (521 yards rushing) will try their best against the Jags stiff run defense that is only allowing 91.5 yards rushing and 3.5 yards per carry this season.  Peyton Manning will still get to throw the ball downfield to Marvin Harrison (68 rec, 993 yards) and Reggie Wayne (62 rec, 1,019 yards), but he must always know where Reshean Mathis is.  Mathis has already intercepted 7 passes and returned them 146 yards.

The Jaguars will run the football all game long against the sorry Colts run defense.  Fred Taylor (952 yards rushing), Maurice Drew (500 yards rushing) and David Garrard should all have good games against the Colts who allow 159.9 yards rushing and 5.1 yards per carry so far this season.  Look for Garrard to make a few connections with Matt Jones, who’s suddenly got very hot.

The Jaguars will win this football game.  They are just too nasty for the Colts and they have the perfect offense to take advantage of the Colts pathetic defense.

 

Jaguars smack Dolphins around 24-10

The Jaguars were pushing the Dolphins around on the line of scrimmage all day long on both sides of the football.

David Garrard had a good game as he completed 16 of 22 passes for 229 yards and 2 TDs.  He also carried the ball 6 times for 24 yards.  Fred Taylor had a solid game with 19 carries for 76 yards (4.0 ypc).  Maurice Drew added 5 carries for 46 yards (9.2 ypc) and a TD.  Matt Jones had a great game with 6 catches for 128 yards and a TD.  Reggie Williams pitched in with 5 receptions for 42 yards.  George Wrighster caught one pass….a 16-yard TD.

The Jaguars stuffed the Dolphins running game as they only got 68 yards rushing on 19 carries (3.6 ypc). The Dolphins completed 27 of 42 passes for 241 net yards passing.

This was a big win for the Jags for keeping their playoff hopes alive.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Miami Dolphins

Blogged under Bloglockers, Front Page, This Week's Matchup Report by ravenhater on Friday 1 December 2006 at 4:45 pm

The Jaguars are only 1-4 on the road this season, but 5-1 at home.  The Dolphins are rolling with a current 4 game winning streak where they’ve out-scored their opponents 95-53!

The Jaguars will attempt to run the football against the Dolphins, but that will be easier said than done.  The Dolphins only allow 93.9 yards rushing per game and 3.4 yards per carry.  Fred Taylor (876 yards rushing), Maurice Drew (454 yards rushing) and David Garrard will test them anyway, as it’s strength vs. strength.  The Jags don’t really pass well due to a lack of speed in the receiving corps.

The Dolphins will look to run the ball with Sammy Morris against the stiff Jags run defense that only allows 93.6 yards rushing per game and 3.5 yards per carry.  Joey Harrington might be forced to throw more than he wants to, and he better be careful….because Rashean Mathis has been a thief so far with 6 INTs.

This game should be close because of the defenses, but I’m going with the Dolphins who have been on a roll as of late.
