Opening Training Camp News and Notes

by River City Rage on Jul 26, 2008 11:21 AM EDT Comment 4 comments

The pads haven't even come out yet and already the Jaguars are full of news. I'm currently on the road, so pardon my absence. Here's what we know so far.

: Reggie Williams has a sprained knee and will start camp on the Physically Unable to Play list (PUP, if you will). Reggie joins Jerry Porter, George Wrightster, Chad Nkang, and Jeremy Mincey. Don't worry though, Reggie should be back in a few days. No need to panic that the Jaguars number one and number two receivers are off the field, instead think about all the extra reps guys like Matt Jones and Troy Williamson will get. This is also a good chance for Mike Walker to prove that his knee is no longer an issue.

: Derrick Harvey is still unsigned, though I've a hunch that he'll be in action soon. Trust me.

: Matt Jones says he's sorry.

: The first practice is underway right now in shorts, the second session is tonight at 7:00, also in shorts. If you're going, be sure to drop a note about what you see!

I'll be around better internet later this afternoon, so stay tuned!

-Chris

I just got back from training camp....

and the attendance was reassuring that as the Jags improve each year and become a regular participant of the games in January and February, the attendance worry will be a thing of the past. I even saw some tailgaters, I think the Dead Zone is officially over. The few observations that I have from camp, considering these are viewed through the fading eyesight of a fifty one year old man and most of the action took place three fields away from the bleachers, are the following: John Henderson still makes every one else look smaller.( no matter from what distance) Mike Walker and Khalif Barnes are both personable young men.(had short exchanges with both as they left for the locker room at the end) The majority of the fans there were supportive of Matt Jones. (at least the ones who were making noise) and Jones appeared humbled in his manner as he left for the showers. David Garrard will hit many more deep passes this year. (completed a nice bomb to Northcutt(if I saw his # right) down the right sidelines. I think it’s going to be a year to remember for all the good reasons.

Sorry for the late post...

I had to meet up with the family at the zoo afterward, so I couldn’t post any of my observations from camp this morning until now. Anyways, Groves lost the dreads, Scobee looked good, our new TE’s, Charles Davis and Chris Brown looked awesome, there is some serious competition there, Estandia looked good too. Garrard was sharp and spot on with his passes, Mincey and Wrighster looked good running, especially Mincey, but I believe his injury is wrist related, not leg related so that’s mute. Cleo was pedestrian IMO, Paul the same, but less is expected from him. He’s also very underszed when viewed in the company of the rest of his teammates, the talent may be there, but I’m uncertain due to his size. Todd Bauman is the better #2 as of right now. He looked the part as well during 7on7 drills. Jaggernaut is right about it being difficult to see anything of any real importance, even with binoculars. If I think of anything else, I’ll post.
