Friday Afternoon Q&A/Open Thread

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  

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.

by abeaugh on May 8, 2009 4:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

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  

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  

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  

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  

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

AWFUL

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

That is an area that will differnt this year then last.

Mathis, Cox, Nelson, Williams

by darkseraph18 on May 8, 2009 5:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think

Considine is supposed to be our starting SS. Williams is staying at RCB, according to Del Rio.

by Ewdtrey on May 8, 2009 5:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

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?

by GoGuars21 on May 8, 2009 4:50 PM EDT reply actions  

I was

thinking the same thing.

by Ewdtrey on May 8, 2009 5:43 PM EDT up reply actions  

Personally,

I kind of like the receiver line up:

  1. - Torry Holt
  2. - Mike Walker
  3. - 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  

speaking of sharks and dolphins

Does any1 remember the movie Any Given Sunday. Well the team’s name was the Miami Sharks..

by GoJags4218 on May 8, 2009 6:30 PM EDT reply actions  

Who will be our nickel corner?

if cox, where does starks fit in?

Surreal to be Teal

by Surteal on May 8, 2009 7:23 PM EDT reply actions  

Starks

is the first NB. I think Williams should be part of our big nickel packages for those teams that have really good receiving TE’s.

Oh, and I missed this one

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

by Zoltan from Budapest on May 9, 2009 3:15 AM EDT reply actions  

I think soo

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

by Zoltan from Budapest on May 9, 2009 8:02 AM EDT up reply actions  

too I mean two

And I’m not even tired. Damn you mistypes (I went out the curse and blame myself once gain).

by Zoltan from Budapest on May 9, 2009 8:04 AM EDT up reply actions  

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  

i agree

i just think he gets phased out this year. theyre going young

Surreal to be Teal

by Surteal on May 9, 2009 12:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

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  

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  

so...

who is going to be the 4th wr? if holt, walker, and northcutt are the top three where do the new guys go?

zachary cleary

by jagsfan4life on May 10, 2009 8:49 PM EDT reply actions  

Mike Thomas or Troy Williamson

by Bestjagfan on May 10, 2009 8:59 PM EDT up reply actions  

And Jarrett Dillard gets cut?

Northcutt or Williamson are gone. It’s one or the other.

by Adam Stites on May 10, 2009 9:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

If dillard gets cut i will die.

he is my favorite pick from this years draft by far.

zachary cleary

by jagsfan4life on May 10, 2009 9:46 PM EDT reply actions  

Why Is He Your Favorite Pick?

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

If hip hop is dead, then it happened the day that Dilla died.

by Bestjagfan on May 10, 2009 10:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

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.

by jagsfan4life on May 10, 2009 10:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

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 hip hop is dead, then it happened the day that Dilla died.

by Bestjagfan on May 10, 2009 10:34 PM EDT up reply actions  

ya

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  

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!

by Zoltan from Budapest on May 12, 2009 6:52 PM EDT up reply actions  

true

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…
