The offense has a lot of pieces in place and just needs an O Line youth movement to allow the big time skill players the room to make things happen.

Defense has a strong core of linebackers and some promising young ends, but needs some help in the secondary and definitely needs some help at the tackle position. It’s pretty equal when you think about it actually. Both sides have a strong core that needs help around them to show their stuff, but I’m still going to stick with the defensive side.

But I’d say the Defense. It is abysmal.

I would say offense, we need Receivers, another RB and help on the O line. Defense could use a tackle and some secondary help. Actually they’re about equal now that I think about it. But they do say Defense wins championships, so who knows.

Our defense has been in shambles for the last year and some of the year before. If the defense/secondary can stiffen up and we can draft a gem, the jags could get by scoring 17 pts a game instead of having to score 17 points in the 4th quarter.

We need another cornerback, bad. That is, if we keep Brian Williams at safety. I know he moved back to corner last season, but I think he plays both positions pretty well. I like him at safety, though, and I’d love to see a dynamic corner added to the team. Need a tackle.

I don’t think we need a running back though. I have faith in Greg Jones.

I don’t really know much about Considine other than he was a backup for Philly. But, please feel free to inform me. Why would we take a back up from another team and make him our starter? Seems like the same case where our starters go to other teams and get beat out by undrafted rookies (Miami).

A good Defense gives a young Offense time to grow. It gives them more plays per game and keeps the score managable. If both sides of the ball needed work , I would build through the Defense. Although I would also keep my eye on the O-line. Later on you can plug in offensive skill positions when it starts to come together.

O line still needs much upgrading / replacements and we have NO WR threats. The defense also is hurting, but ball control will help defense stay fresh. You know the old saying – the best defense is a strong offense.

Don’t misunderstand – we are in serious need of defensive help. The problem with the Jags is that we have so MANY holes on both sides of the ball, it’s difficult to peg. D line needs a solid / consistent pass rusher (and we don’t have one). Maybe one of last year’s rookies will emerge (and maybe they won’t).

Anyway – Offense is my pick. No O line means no rushing game (regardless of who is RB) and we have no WR corp (pending FA and draft / trades). If you can’t move the ball or score any points, you’re not gonna win consistenly.

But hasn’t Wr been a need around here for a while? We were successfull without them then because of our great Defense and steller ofensive line play. W e can get Wrs when we really need them. But we can win with out them.

we need DT and Patrick Chung

I would say Peria Jerry too, we need lineman in both side of the ball. Then WR (one or two) and at least 1 or maybe 2 new guy to the secondary. Somewhere a LT and maybe a RB or a middle LB. I hope the Jaguars can find a team to trading down(maybe more time-and I’m more and more have a new candidate indtead of the Jets. What about Tampa?), because we need some extra picks in the 2nd-3rd round. And in the #8 there is nobody, which I would pay 18 million $ either…

… and I’m happy to be on board and look forward to the dialogue.

To answer the question, Defense, Defense, Defense… did I mention defense?

The Jags under Del Rio has always intimidated opponents with the D they brought to every game – I think last season has caused us to forget that b/c the defense lost the lead at the end of so many games last year.

We have 2 young studs at DE, and with the lack of production at DT (including Big John) I think that’s our biggest need this year. (Our OL should be healthy and productive again this year.)

… just as long as we get some help there.

I didn’t say Harvey & Groves were proven, but they are an upgrade over Spicer and Hayward going forward, and they did more last year than Henderson or Meier. They are the future DEs – like ‘em or not – who’s our future at DT?

except Henderson being a force – I hope he can but even with all his size and talent, his last 2 years have been suspect. He should have been our version of Albert Haynesworth!

I hope the front office will give him too! If he cannot prove in ’09, then (sadly) cut next year.

You’re a smart man. You should come work for our front office (just kidding, of course). But yeah, I say, give him one more year. Then try to trade him if he doesn’t do anything….get whatever you can…a 7th even. If no takers, cut him. It would probably be the latter, however. I could even see possible scenario where they get everything they can out of him this season so they can trade him after the season is over. But, I like Big John. Maybe the Buffalo or New Orleans would take him, right? They seem to be picking up alot of our castoffs. To respond to your other comment. Landri will never be nothing more than a situational player. He’s too small. But, I do like him. He plays with alot of heart.

Anyway, welcome JagGameFace.

I happen to agree with both of you guys. Hopefully he could step it up this year, but it may be better to trade him this year before he possibly puts up another so-so year. He may have some good years left, but it’s time to start drafting more DTs.

That’s funny, Blair72, Buffalo and New Orleans are starting to take all the Jaguars rejects! Maybe their head coaches should start wearing the sports jacket on the sidelines during the games too.
