Jaguars NFL Roster Cuts: Could Zach Potter Push?

Photo

More photos » Sam Greenwood - Getty Images

While I was creating my early 53 man roster, I thought about cutting Ernest Wilford for Zach Potter. I decided to go with Ernest Wilford, but as we get closer to the final pre-season game I keep feeling that Zach Potter is going to do something to make Wilford expendable.

Wilford has had a fantastic training camp, but has kind of disappeared in the pre-season games.

Justin Smiley's Biggest Obstacle

The guard competition has been one of, if not, the most talked about battle of the 2010 training camp and preseason. With only one preseason game nothing appears to be decided. A quote from Justin Smiley on Tania Ganguli's Twitter account illustrated just how close of a battle it is:

"We’ll see this week, whether I’m the starting guard or I’m cut."

The margin is that slim. When it's that close of a battle, factors beyond on-the-field performance come into play. Injury history and salary can come into play. With Smiley due $2.5 million and a $750,000 roster bonus in 2010 only, coupled with a propensity for shoulder injuries, Smiley already has some factors stacked against him.

But the biggest obstacle in his pursuit for a roster spot may be the 2011 draft.

Jacksonville Jaguars: It's not paranoia when they're really out to get you

FILE -- This is a Sept. 20, 2009, file photo showing fans in Jacksonville Municipal Stadium stadium during an NFL football game between Arizona Cardinals and the Jacksonville Jaguars, in Jacksonville, Fla. So far, only Jacksonville has had its home opener blacked out last weekend. The Jaguars were so far from selling out that they didn't even bother requesting an extension.

Two quick things, #1. Please go vote for Big Cat Country as Jacksonville's Best Blog here. #2. Please give us your season projections here if you haven't already.

During the last few weeks, the "Us vs Them" mentality most Jaguar fans have felt against the national media has seemingly come to a head. Whether it's that every publication has picked the Jaguars to finish last in the AFC South, ESPN commentator's Mike and Mike predicting 5-11/4-12 finishes, or Sport's Illustrated's preview article that was seemingly created through a cliche generator. Most fans have come to the conclusion that the NFL Media Illuminati are in cahoots with Roski's and Bildeberg's in order to bring their beloved franchise to Southern California.  Is there really a lone gunmen in the grassy knoll or are we running a Jim Garrison operation?

The Greg Jones Discussion

Alfie,

My apologies for stealing your topic. My comment just got too long. 

 

Now to the topic, I love that you brought it up. Jones may be my favorite player on the Jaguars roster. Ryan Robinson and I talked on twitter before the draft. I presented him this scenario: You are trapped in a dark alley. You fear for your life. What Jaguars football player (pre-draft 2010) would you want there to make you feel safe? His response, of course, was Greg Jones and I laughed because its exactly who I thought of.

 

Jones is devastating as a lead blocker. Your I-formation argument says it all. The passing attack is what has weakened us in the red-zone, and while we can run what I now dub a "Matt-Leinart-Offense" (dink and dunk and dont mess up, while not trying to make a play happen) to have many plays and run the clock down. It will not have the same affect (a or e?) on the opposing defense. The run game wears them out. Greg Jones makes them sub out for a breather.

 

Greg Jones is one of the reasons that the Jaguars are physically feared. It would be a mistake for the play of the 2009 season to not have Greg Jones on the roster. It would be a mistake for the Jaguars Defense to have to play against Greg Jones.

Dan Hicken and Jeff Prosser taking on SI's Andrew Lawrence.

1 day ago Brian_tiny Brian Fullford 9 comments 1 recs

I don't know if anyone is listening to SFR on 1010XL right now, but Dan Hicken just took Andrew Lawrence of SI to task on his Jaguars preview.

Hicken executed a radio throat punch.

Discuss.
