Quick Bytes: Derrick Harvey Watch, MJD Madden commercial, Signings/Releases
-So Derrick Harvey has his first significant milestone as a Jaguar, the longest rookie holdout in team history. Current reports are that both sides are talking again, but nothing significant has occured. NFL Live yesterday let it slip that some teams were interested in Harvey, but did not elaborate further. Any and all developements will be posted immediately.
-Maurice Jones-Drew has been appearing in a commerical for Madden 2009. Nice to see atleast one member of the team getting some National sponsorships
-The Times-Union had this to report on the Jaguars latest roster moves
The Jaguars signed defensive tackle Jonathan Lewis today and waived rookie running back Lavarus Giles, an undrafted rookie who had signed with the team June 11.
Lewis, 24, spent the second half of the 2007 season on the Oakland Raiders’ practice squad, but the 6-0, 304-pound defensive tackle was originally drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the sixth round out of Virginia Tech. The second-year pro played in four games as a rookie and had four solo tackles.
Lewis also has spent time with the Seattle Seahawks and Detroit Lions in 2008.

MJD Madden 2010
It would be awesome to see MJD on Madden 2010. He needs a big year. Although, do we want him to be cursed?

People love that Madden ad with Maurice. I made some goofy post about it when I saw it during the hall of fame game and it now has more reads than anything serious I have ever written. Isn’t that how it always works out? Sigh.

That was a good
poll question. I had to think about which I prefered. Signing Harvey is obviously a good thing. Trading Harvey for someone else that could make an impact this year would be good for now while Groves goes through his learning and physical maturity process. MJD being on the cover means he did well and that the team probably did as a well.

Excuse my obnoxiousness
I just feel like the Jaguar front office has admitted the Derrick Harvey mistake to themselves and are working the phones. It just feels to me they understand the need for an offensive tackle more than a holdout Defensive End. The value proposition for Derrick Harvey has declined so far that I don’t see the gap closing.
His chance of injury is greater than normal as he tries to learn on the job. His chance of success has diminished. The Jaguars are seriously better off moving on. I just think Derrick Harvey has committed career suicide.

So tired
I am tired of Derrick Harvey. I’m tired of hearing about him. I’m tired of thinking about him. I was furious when the jags traded up to number 8 and was furious when he was selected. I have no patience for football players who take plays and games off. For example he vanished against Auburn two years ago and then turned in a great performance against an overhyped Ohio State team (who will probably lose again in the national championship game this year). Then this year he was made non existent against Georgia then has a good game aginst Michigan (another over hyped Big Ten/Eleven team).
They should make him a final offer then tell him how much Bo Jackson got when he was selected in the seventh round a year after holding out. Then Mr. Harvey can be welcomed to the real world when his crediters start calling in his debts like they did to Vick. Most first round picks borrow massive amounts of money before they even sign their first contracts. Anyway, I hope they trade this selfish individual for a first round pick and hopefully use the first round pick to take Spiller from Clemson. Who will replace Taylor when his glourious carrer comes to an end.
Anyway, they should change the name to Jones-Drew 2010. Who else feels that he was snubed for Rookie of the Year.
