Jags v. Eagles

[copperfiend]

WR's - Mediocre performance all around. Jarett Dillard had a nice grab in the endzone.

Agree on all but the receivers. I think Holt had a few nice catches and Hughes made a good play on the TD before Asante Samuels gave him a cheapshot.

I still don't know about the offense. Our first half possessions went like this, punt, punt, touchdown, interception, field goal.

Okay, let's say they did that in the second half as well.  That would be 20 points, which about average for an NFL team, against two win playoff team last year.  Not bad, in my opinion.  Remember, 20 points is pretty good in the NFL.  The Steelers had just over 21 a game last year.

Holt is what we needed, someone who catches the ball when it is anywhere around him.... then Troy Williamson can spread the field with his speed, and after that it is toss up on the wr's... But I will take those 2 threats over anyone else we have had in the past few years. Williamson gets his confidence back and Garrard can get him the ball, watch out. That guy is super fast and has the potential to be a really good WR, and having Holt around to mentor him is awesome.

I agree it was a good catch and a cheap shot... but none of the receivers had much in yardage... that's why I say the WR play was mediocre.

CDB - That was an awful performance for the first team O. Just awful. The Jags had 64 yards on the ground. MJD only had 12 yards on 5 rushes, not what you want out of your 3rd preseason game. The Jags were outgained by 200 yards, so the D looked soft, and we had 12 more penalties. The Times Union reported that so far this year the team is converting only 26% of 3rd down tries, last night only 3 of 14.

David Lamm reported this week that there were only about 25-30k fans at the Tampa game, and he said lookout next Thursday, there could be even fewer. I'm interested to see if the Jags cut any vets with the 17 people on the block this week. Should be more fun to see who gets cut, than to watch the game again from last night.

I dont think anyone is expecting a team thats rebuilding to be a playoff team. We just want to see the team compete well. IMO the O line is still letting too much pressure get to DG and they are not moving the D-line inorder for the RBs to find running lanes. Also you guys who are being so negative, remember the Jags rested all their starting linebackers. Instead trying to highlight every negative try supporting the team and going to the games. Theres enough negativity comming from the outside already.
