What happened to Mojo? look serious?

MJD

has an ankle sprain. Didn’t look too worried about it. Probably just being cautious. Only bad thing is that means Fred will be in a little more, but he’s running GREAT. I’m starting to like to see Greg Jones run though, I love the power and speed combo.

Defense

looks great. Swarming to the ball.

Good Call JirafaBo

Greg Jones is a beauty too bad hes been out so much the last two seasons….whats up with the rash of penalties all of a sudden by the Jags?

Go Jags!

by freek1969 on Aug 23, 2008 8:19 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

MJD

Is on the sideline with ice on his ankle..if it was serious hed be gettin x-rays in the lockerroom

Go Jags!

REGGIE INTERCEPTS AGAIN!

Touchback in the endzone on the Reggie Nelson interception…the Eraser strikes AGAIN!

Go Jags!

by freek1969 on Aug 23, 2008 8:21 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Reggie Nelson

makes a great athletic interception on a ball over the middle. Jumped up, knocked the ball with his fingertips, falling backwards, juggled the ball, and snagged it for the touchback. That’s what he’s there for. And his interception earlier was in one on one coverage with the receiver running a short out/comeback. He can do it all.

Thanks for the Visual

I am in Ohio listening to the game on Field Pass!

Go Jags!

MY65...

SUCKS. I catch the games on MY65 in Orlando and they have more technical problems than any station ever. Had some black screens earlier and now serious rewinding like issues. Last week they lost the game for almost a whole quarter

WOW great roll out to the right and perfect throw from Garrard to Northcutt.

by JirafaBo on Aug 23, 2008 8:25 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

HAHAHA

Listening and blogging? NICE!

Garrard throws an interception but I missed it because I was complaining about MY65.

by JirafaBo on Aug 23, 2008 8:26 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Dropsies

Garcia looks horrible, but he’s had about 4 easy passes dropped by receivers. I guess that’s why they wanted Favre so bad, and to think, I felt bad for Garcia.

by JirafaBo on Aug 23, 2008 8:28 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

LOL

it wasnt worth hearing..it was an interception by Ronde Barber

Go Jags!

MJD update (via VIC)

reports are saying that Jones-Drew’s sprain is mild.

Reggie Hayward

Hes looking good tonite..putting it out there

Go Jags!

Bucs

are actually moving the ball deep into Jags territory for the second time tonight but as soon as any receiver touches the ball he is swarmed by several Jaguars. They are really all over the field tonight. probably a total of 2 or 3 yards after catch total so far. Not much rushing as the middle of the D line is controlling the line of scrimmage.

by JirafaBo on Aug 23, 2008 8:33 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

you mean

“sounding” good. And yes, he is playing well.

Garcia to Clayton for a 10 yard TD reception. Up the middle

Clayton ran a skinny post up the middle from the slot position and made a nice one hand snag. Beat Dreyton Florence. hard route to cover from the slot.

by JirafaBo on Aug 23, 2008 8:36 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Pass Rush

is somewhat there, but not enough. Garcia hasn’t been on his back yet but is getting rid of the ball quickly. Mostly 3 and 5 step drops and shorts passes.

by JirafaBo on Aug 23, 2008 8:39 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Greg Jones

is in and didn’t get anywhere on his first carry as Hovan penetrated deep into the backfield.

by JirafaBo on Aug 23, 2008 8:39 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

3rd

and short after a decent pass to Mercedes Lewis over the middle. Garrard scrambles but falls down just as he’s about to break for the 1st down. False start on the punt… Podlesh punts to the 50ish from his goal line.

by JirafaBo on Aug 23, 2008 8:42 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

2 minute warning

and the jags haven’t done much with the ball except when the defense gave it to them close to the redzone…twice. Defense needs to hold here to a field goal so we can go into halftime with a 10-10 tie.

Hoping Del Rio will give the starters another quarter as we need to see something a little more from the offense.

by JirafaBo on Aug 23, 2008 8:45 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Griese

now at qb for the Bucs. Guess the starters are coming out…. :(

oooh look

Olympic coverage is the marathon… exciting.

Men’s BB plays tonght at 2:30… I won’t be blogging that.

by JirafaBo on Aug 23, 2008 8:48 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

1st down bucs...

Defense ran a delayed blitz on 3rd and 1… they need 1 yard… maybe they were expecting a draw play? otherwise, I’m not sure what good a delayed blitz would do when by the time you blitz the offense is already half way through there play.

Griese almost gave Nelson the hat trick on a lob pass to the end zone, after he had about 3 minutes in the pocket.

by JirafaBo on Aug 23, 2008 8:50 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

4th and goal

Field goal team on. 10-10 tie at the Half.

or not… Tampa misses a 22 yard field goal. 10-7 jags lead.

by JirafaBo on Aug 23, 2008 8:52 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

MJD

Del Rio said MJD could go if they would let him. But they won’t. Good news. Just an everyday, run of the mill, gameday sprain.

by JirafaBo on Aug 23, 2008 8:53 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Quick slant

to Northcutt, then he stopped, juked the defender, and from a dead stop, left about 4 Bucs in the dust… until he tripped and stumbled… over nothingl. about a 30 yard play, plus 15 for roughing the passer.

by JirafaBo on Aug 23, 2008 9:07 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

MATT JONES

28 yarder …where has he been the last 2 years…too much coke? lol

Go Jags!

by freek1969 on Aug 23, 2008 9:09 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Slant

to Matt Jones. Looked surprised he caught the ball, then took the ball to the 5. For being so fast, he sure looks SLOW. Either way, he’s looked solid this preseason. He’s the perfect type of receiver for slants, tall, and big, and hard for a defender to reach around him. Now if he just keeps catching the ball.

by JirafaBo on Aug 23, 2008 9:10 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Coke..

I heard he likes Pepsi.

TD

to Mercedes Lewis, but I can’t tell you much, bc MY65 decided to show the play from a camera on the sideline. Jeeeesh!

Madden 09

Anybody play Madden 09 on XBOX 360? It’s the only game I have as I just bought the 360 for Madden. I’m not very good, but if anyone wants to play sometime… let me know your gamertag.

3 and out

for the bucs. Jags with the ball at midfield. 2nd string defense has been in for the bucs since the beginning of this half. Who will be at qb for the jags..

by JirafaBo on Aug 23, 2008 9:22 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Literally

or figuratively? lol

by Ewdtrey on Aug 23, 2008 9:23 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Lemon

is in at QB. Ball is actually at the Bucs’ 42.

HAHA I thought the same thing. Literally. Reminds me of that joke … “why the long face”

isn’t working. Hitting PREVIEW, then POST works though.

Turnover on downs.

Two horrible ball spots by the referee. Seriously missed the spot by 2 yards on the 3rd down, then a pretty bad spot on 4th and 1 as well.

by JirafaBo on Aug 23, 2008 9:28 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Bucs

HAHAH

Bud Light makes funny commercials. These people just got everything in their house carpeted for a 6 pack… Probably had to see it…

Olympics

will be finished tomorrow. That makes me happy bc I’m tired of staying up until 2 am every night because I can’t turn off the tv when Americans are competing LIVE. But it makes me sad bc I probably won’t see Lolo Jones on tv for another 4 years.

by JirafaBo on Aug 23, 2008 9:39 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Walker

drops a slant route that hits him in the chest (db had his hand in there) and Bucs make interception on deflection. Jags ball though due to penalty. But why has Walker had such a dissappointing preseason? I thought he would be doing much better.

by JirafaBo on Aug 23, 2008 9:42 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

my65 sucks!!!

Hey Jirafabo, I’m in Cocoa, FL and watched on “my65” too. That was freaking horrible. I kept having to switch to the Bucs station to watch the game because of technical difficulty. Hopefully next year they don’t get the contract for the preseason games. At least the Jags regular season games are on CBS.

by jagsfanbrunell on Aug 24, 2008 12:09 AM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Bucs channel?

My65 was even worse last week. I actually missed an entire quarter and they started playing a movie instead!!!! I won’t have cable til I move this weekend, but what channel is the Bucs’ channel?

And we’ll only get the Jags on if stupid Miami or Tampa aren’t playing at the same time. I hate that we end up being 3rd option here in Orlando.

Bucs showing

They played the game from the Bucs announcers on channel 9 IIRC.

Are things changing for the network coverage this year? You said the Jags are 3rd choice, which isn’t usually how it works in central Florida. Tamp doesn’t figure into it since they play a different network. The way the rotation works on CBS is, they play both if they have different start times. BUT, if the start times are the same, they play the Away game on TV. I believe if they’re both away games the Jags are shown.

It really makes Fins fans hate the Jags around here.

by Pyrofish on Aug 24, 2008 7:34 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I thought

Maybe I was wrong, but I thought I missed two games last year while Dolphins or Bucs games were on tv. Sounds like you know the specifics, so I’ll assume you are right. Thanks for setting it straight!

by JirafaBo on Aug 24, 2008 11:28 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

We did

The Dolphins had a meaningless away game while the Jags were playing an important home game. Because of the network deal, CBS (channel 9) had to show the Dolphins in Central Florida. It was ridiculous. They do slightly favor the Jags here because we’re geographically closer to them.

They did go back on that one time IIRC, and the Dolphins fans had a cow. My dad is a longtime Fins fan, so I get to hear about it ;-)

The Bucs play on WOFL (channel 35)

by Pyrofish on Aug 25, 2008 9:21 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Not channel 9

Duh, channel 6. Don’t know why I typed 9…. must be Monday…

by Pyrofish on Aug 25, 2008 9:22 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I heard...

That the station director in Orlando actually gets to chose which game he shows and he’s either a Dolphins fan or believes there are more Fins fans in the market… can’t remeber which.

While I’m sure it stinks for you, he’s most likely going to make that decision based on potential viewers and ad-revenue.

by pksiv on Aug 25, 2008 2:54 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Tallahassee

must have gotten a new station managed last year, cause it took until the Phins were 0-6 and an embarrassment to the league to get the Jags on CBS. Year before it was always Jags

Jags are 3rd best in their division

OK fellow Jags fans, time for reality check – this team will finish behind Colts & Texans in their division. Glaring weaknesses: WR, OT, D-Line and NO pass rush. I’m sorry to say that this team will not be as good as last year’s. I hope I’m wrong, but I know what I see.

Any decent passing team will carve this team up.

OGN

Well, at least we both believe the Titans SUCK! I’m a little nervous of a let down following last season and super high expectations as well, but I’ll wait til I see a few real games before I shoot off at the mouth. Preseason means nothing… just ask Indy.

by JirafaBo on Aug 24, 2008 4:17 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

ask New England too!

0-3. Do you think they care about that? I agree, all we need is that first game, possibly one of the biggest games of the year, up in Tennessee. That will tell the tale of the season. I sure hope it goes well!
