I'm painfully bored at work. Anyone want to talk Jaguars football? Anyone off work already?
I can tell you this, I'm working for the weekend...

How's the football league?
Does your season run opposite of the NFL season?

Hey, do you guys wish we have kept the all black unis for primetime games? Or did you hate them?
by Blair72 on May 8, 2009 4:03 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
personally
i wish we could have the all black outfits for every once in a while. maybe just prime-time games or something.
who knows? maybe they’ll be back and the jags are keeping it a surprise.

the all blacks rocked
i retired my black Matt “COKE” Jones jersey…
Everybody knows when he's coming to town
They're locking the doors
And they don't make a sound
People want him dead but he won't die yet
First he's got to live
With all the things that he did

I don't like them
There has to be some teal in there somewhere (and not just in the sparkles of the helmet)
by acedarney on May 8, 2009 5:04 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Why? Teal can still be in our other jerseys, but why does everything have to have teal?
Teal is an ugly color anyway.
by Blair72 on May 8, 2009 5:24 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
First off...
Teal is beautiful. Second, Do you see any of the teams with a long heritage, ditching their team colors to wear all black? Could you see Green Bay or the Cowboys wearing all black?
Prime time games would be the worst time to wear a different uni, because it’s the only chance a small market team (like us) has to promote themselves. Maybe I have sipped the kool-aid, but I feel Wayne is right on the money here, stick to your colors and create your identity. Also, I am not straight haten’ on you because, I own a Black Big John Jersey, but I totally see the Jags point of view on this one.
by FanofJag on May 8, 2009 5:44 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Actually
I thought that the black during prime time games was becoming part of the Jags heritage. It seemed to me that everyone I knew realized the Jags real color was teal but they liked the black uni and liked the idea of marking important games with it. I know what your saying about established teams changing their style, but I thought that for a team just starting out that having that special black out uni was part of building a tradition.
by jstnblke41 on May 8, 2009 6:19 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
When did I EVER say anything about ditching the team color?
I’m just saying keep the all black uniform for a couple of games a season. It doesn’t even have to be for the primetime games, but if you haven’t noticed that’s when they would wear them in the past. Thus, that’s why I wrote my comment as such. So, what you call the “worst time to wear” the all black is when in the past the team did in fact wear them.

Mine was a teal Mike Pete
But it switched to a teal MJD. Hopefully I’ll have a new one before next season starts that has the new design.

In other news
The dolphins named their stadium “LandShark” stadium, after the beer brewed here in Jacksonville. I guess this was jimmy buffets great idea, but it doesn’t make sense to me. I thought sharks ate dolphins and dolphins really hate sharks? Anyways they are going to have a Margaritaville there now, that should be cool. Why can’t we take all of our covered seats and turn it into something cool like a Margaritaville? Ok the offseason really sucks…
by cliff1982 on May 8, 2009 4:21 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
that would be
really sweet, didnt know landshark was brewed here, hmm learn something new everyday, oh and a group of dolphins would kill a shark, seen it on the discovery chanel, they really dont like each other

Don't dolphins routinely kick the crap out of sharks in dolphin/shark fights?

AWFUL
I’m not a fan of the fake beach-lifestyle schtick that Buffet and Landshark wallow in.

Just dropping in...
To touch back on the jersey thing…I really like the all black uni’s as well, but i think with wanting to establish an identity, primetime games would be a prime time (pun intended) to show off the identity and get it into the nations mind. It just seems to me like wearing the all blacks would be a step backwards with these new uniforms…thoughts?

Personally,
I kind of like the receiver line up:
- - Torry Holt
- - Mike Walker
- - Dennis Northcutt
If Mike stays healthy, our receivers are about 1.5x as good as last year’s
by sgillespie on May 8, 2009 5:08 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Because we have so many
unknowns at WR this year, I think he will stay for continuity and because he knows all the positions. But I think he’s gone after this year.
by Ewdtrey on May 8, 2009 5:46 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Isn't Northcut due..
a nice sized salary increase this year?

By the way what do you think, which position is the weakest part of the Jaguars?

I think soo
These too areas are “now” the biggest concerns in my opinion.

Why does everyone hate Denis Northcutt?
He was pretty good last year
by kujo24 on May 9, 2009 11:51 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I don't hate him
and I think many here feel that way. He is a good guy, who can be a threat. He just need the catch and don’t drop the ball. But I like him!
by Zoltan from Budapest on May 9, 2009 12:06 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
i agree
i just think he gets phased out this year. theyre going young

He has a shot
Williamson is in bigger danger to get cut before the season starts in my opinion.
by Zoltan from Budapest on May 9, 2009 2:32 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
DONT HATE HIM
Mainly I just feel that he is in danger of going away IF the team feels that his spot on the depth chart can be upgraded.
by darkseraph18 on May 9, 2009 3:31 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
so...
who is going to be the 4th wr? if holt, walker, and northcutt are the top three where do the new guys go?

If dillard gets cut i will die.
he is my favorite pick from this years draft by far.

Why Is He Your Favorite Pick?
Is it just because everyone else thinks he’s awesome, or do you have a legitimate reason?

I
watched him during the east west shrine game and i thought he was the best player on the field by far they threw it to him when they where in the red zone every single time. it seemed like every QB on his side of the ball wonted to throw to him because they knew he would come down with it even if it was a bad throw. even the anouncers where blone away by him and when the anouncers said he had 60 TD at RICE. i thought he was going to be the best undiscuverd WR by far in the draft thats why i like him so much it was way befor everyone els even knew his name. so no i dont like him because everone esl likes him.

Sound Legit
It just seems like everyone jumped on the guy. He was a 5th rounder. But I see what you were saying. If you followed him before the draft, that makes sense.

if you watched that game you would be saying what im saying two he was by far the best player out there and that was an all star game.

I think Jarrett Dillard
is a guy that not alot of people knew about. I didn’t know anything about him. But once Surteal wrote up that column on him, I got to look at some of his videos and interviews and watch him run routes, then yeah, I jumped on the bandwagon. Let me note this, though. I didn’t jump on the bandwagon solely because everyone else started liking this guy. I like him for my own reasons. The guys runs great routes and he can jump like no one I’ve ever seen. He plays two feet taller than he is. Is this important? Yeah, to me it is, because the guy doesn’t seem to drop anything. Isn’t this waht we’ve been missing? My only concern about him is how will he do against NFL corners who jam him. Will he get thrown off of his route and be ineffective or will he thrive in competition? I think the guy plays with alot of heart, and I think he will improve in those areas that are lacking. I see this guy not making a whole lot of impact this season, but making the final roster. Eventually this guy can be a number one if he keeps improving. Maybe Mike Thomas will have more of an impact this season, but keeping a guy like Dillard around makes too much sense.
I also think Williamson needs another shot. I think Northcutt gets the short end of the stick this season. We just don’t need him anymore.
by Blair72 on May 12, 2009 6:08 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Training camp and OTA's
will answewr who deserve another shot on the receiving group. If I must choose who will be cut now it is Williamson. But he deserve a shot at OTA’s and TC. Competition is always good!

i also thought i would die when fred left but it turnd out fine.

I'm more a
Teal Jersey guy cuz thats the Jaguars colors, if you think teal is ugly, which i don’t think it is, try magenta or that white and pink dallas cowboys tony romo jersey, eeeehh. I thought that if you wore black jersey they absorb thermal energy from the sun more, because lighter colors reflect the waves, you’ll get more hotter, thus more frosty beverages. Tho Vic Ketchman says thats bunk…
