I would assume he’s under the same policy Porter is, He’ll be out until he has atleast 2 weeks of practice under his belt.

Alright, now that I have been bashing him for being greedy the past few weeks, or month, I can now say I’m a BIG D. Harvey fan. He’s awesome, he’s the man, let’s go Jags!!!

where I actually paid attention to football. I was starting to feel the hold out was something I was going to have to live with forever. It
s hard for me to believe it’s over. WOW!
He wont sit out that long, before he gets playing time. He’s been to OTA’s, he’s not getting over an injury, he’s only a pass rusher; so he doesn’t need two weeks of practice to be able to hit the field. Besides we ‘need’ him.

They’ll play him hard. I mean, you almost have to to make sure he’s in shape for regular season. It’s not just a technique thing anymore, it’s a sucking-wind thing now.

I wonder if he’ll show up with a shaved head. I believe that is the Jags Rookie tradition. That’d be a good sign. Means he knows he’s not above being a rook.

and immediately start to build rapport with the young guy. Hopefully he can quickly become “part” of the team and may some noise on the field!

I’m not sure how much playing time he’ll get right away, but, here’s my thought. Remember last year when Reggie Nelson was hurt and missed alot of training camp and a few preseason games? He came right in once the season started and was pretty effective I would say. And it is my opinion that DE has less of a learning curve than FS, so that leaves me optomistic that we’ll see more of Harvey effectivness earlier than we’re thinking.

on how much of a challenge the kitchen chairs and those stingy end tables gave him as he was practicing around his house this past month.

Teams are totally going to double team him with the TE this season when he does come in on plays and to be frank, he is not going to register a single sack because he is way too far behind in his development. Now, the real question is, if you double up on Derrick, does Paul or Reggie get more penetration into the backfield? Hopefully, Harvey’s presence will allow our veterans to bring the house and get some sacks that way, ‘cuz right now, I can’t see Derrick getting a single sack against any of our division opponents. Maybe against Detroit or Pitt, but not against any kinda legit LT.

I know that everyone is entitled to thier own opinion, so I don’t mean this to be an attack on anyone personally, but only 77% right now admit that they will forget all about this hold out upon Harvey’s first sack? You have to be kidding me. If you are a TRUE Jags fan, then you will have no problem forgetting this dumb hold out and start to cheer loudly for the newest edition to the team while he’s draped over Manning or Brady’s shoulders.

coming out of college. He will most certainly be behind the curve. However, that being said, he most certainly will create havoc in the backfield. How long it takes for him to do that will be entirely up to him. For example, as a DE how complicated will the def. schemes be to pick up. As far as I know he was brought in to rush the edge. I am not trying to downplay the importance of his role, but how will the responsibility of his role matter to the overall scheme in which Greg Williams is trying to accomplish for our defense? Will he be able to accomplish it? Time will tell, and I think it will be much sooner than later. All in all, I think the JAGS have an incredible talent with a whole lot of upside. So, I’m glad this is all behind us, and moving forward it should be a real pleasure to see Manning and Brady looking up to the sky as opposed to looking down field.

Jaguars should look for some insurance, and that might come in the form of one of the Eagle’s DE’s. I’m sure they wouldn’t mind trading one away considering one of them will probably not make the team anyhow. They are about six deep st the position and anyone of them could probably be better than our 5th best option. I particularly like Jerome Mcdougle. Look out for him.
This in no way means I am counting Harvey out. I just like the idea of taking all the help we can get, if it’s at a fair price ofcourse.
