The Jacksonville Jaguars

[duvaldude08]

Im hoping our THursday night game next season is NOT against a division opppent. Weve played the Colts, Texans and Titans in primetime the past few years. I hope they have another team in the rotation.

 I was reading a piece Pete Prisco wrote on CBSsports talking about how Pot Roast anchors the Denvers defense line, which is the first time Ive ever heard that (and some of the Denver fans as well, they didnt like this article much either). But the part that makes me is the spin to make it sound like we shun Pot Roast, and we made a mistake by letting him go. The article claims Pot Roast came into training camp over weight AFTER the club fight incident, and Mularkey was upset. Which is a huge lie. Pot Roast came into training camp overweight EVERY season and 2012 was actually the season he came into training camp at the correct weight. There was the concern he would gain some after being inactive from the incident but he didnt. Then they quoted some BS that Pot Roast said making it sound like we did him wrong or something. I mean who would tell a player the night before a game, "Get on the scale and lose two pounds" That doesnt even sound right. Terrance, you were fat and lazy, thats why you are not here. Pete usually is very accurate, but this article was a complete mess.

Terrance Knighton, DT, Denver Broncos
Take one look at the guy they call "Pot Roast" and you will see why he's so key to what the Broncos do on defense.

His listed weight is 330, which he weighed earlier this season. That seems to be low now looking at him, but despite his body, Knighton moves well for a big man and had a Pro Bowl-type of season.

If you want to run on the Broncos inside, you better handle Knighton. He is good at taking on double teams in the run game, which his power and size allow him to do. He's also athletic enough to get push inside in the passing game. Ask Robert Griffin III or Andrew Luck, two quarterbacks he sacked this season.

When the Jacksonville Jaguars drafted Knighton in the third round in 2009, he had a ton of potential. And at times, he flashed it. But he had a tendency to get heavy and slow down late in the season.

Then he had an off-field incident in the spring of 2012 where he was hit in the eye with a bottle during a bar fight -- that he was allegedly trying to break up. He nearly lost his eye, and his vision was badly affected.

Since he couldn't work out, he came to camp heavy in 2012. That didn't sit well with overbearing head coach Mike Mularkey.

Eventually, Knighton got his weight down but still had to be weighed every week and meet his number. He told me he made weight every week, but once after making weight on a Friday, the team said he had to be weighed again on a Saturday at the team hotel. He said he was two pounds over after going out for a nice dinner the night before.

They put him on a treadmill at the team hotel until he got down to the weight of 330. Knighton said the two pounds were gone in minutes on the machine, but they kept him on it for a lot longer to prove a point.

"On the night before a game," he told me this summer. "How did they think my legs would feel the next day?"

When a new coaching staff came in, Knighton was a free agent and they opted to go in a different direction, which, I think, was a mistake. Former Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio, who was the coach when the Jaguars drafted Knighton, was the defensive coordinator in Denver, so Knighton signed there.

The Broncos have to be thrilled he did. Knighton has been one of their better defenders this season. He shows up week in and week out on tape.

Quite frankly, he is a bargain at two years, $4 million. Denver is 19th in total defense, but seventh against the run and 10th in yards per carry, the most important rush stat. Teams are averaging 3.9 per rush.

When do the new scoreboards start going in? I thought it was January but I have not heard anything yet.

How ironic that company that was in charge of that great footage, Aerial Concepts is based in Charlotte. They had to come to Jax because Sir Purr (Panthers mascot) doesn't have light tower jumping skills like our own Jaxson de Ville.

He sure was lazy here

[I-10east]

Terrance Knighton "Pot Roast" was not lazy against New England.

Blah blah blah, that ship has sailed...I knew that someone was gonna say something typical like that...Bottomline, Denver offered him a boatload of money, and the Jags rightfully wasn't gonna match that with his history, and being in a rebuilding phase. Besides, we replaced him with Sen'Derrick Marks, a good defensive tackle anyway...

[copperfiend]

He had a chance to make it work here and did not and that is on him. Good for him to find success in Denver but I am okay with having Senderrick Marks.

That what I was JUST getting ready to mention. We got the better player at the end of the day. Marks can do what Pot Roast does, and then some. Marks can do more than be a "run stuffer". Honestly Pot Roast is doing the same thing he did here, but he now hes getting credit for it because he is in a larger market, on a team with a higher profile. ( and hes more consistant) More power to him.
