Quick note: If you're wondering why I've been posting so many "Quick Bytes", I'm having the worst writers block on two articles that'll hopefully be up soon.

jaguars.com | News | Jaguars news | Desormeaux doing it the old way
Michael Desormeaux is another former college QB making a position switch for the Jaguars. He looks to try and make it as a safety.

19 players drafted this year played their high school ball in Florida, while a whooping 37 played in Texas.

Cut in 2003, Jaguars safety has a new perspective now | Jacksonville.com
Safety Marlon McCree and Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio showed last week that they don't always hold a grudge. Six years ago, Del Rio, then a rookie head coach with the Jaguars, waived McCree two games into the 2003 season because McCree was unhappy about his backup status.

Thanks once again

John for the links. Keep it continue!
That article with McCree was the best among them. I hope he can prove himself, and really everything is alright beteween him and Jack.

Thanks for the links, FSBlue

For keeping the dead zone on life support…

McCree, another smart free agent pickup for the Jags. No doubt he can play – looks like he is a team player, too. And I like the athletes the Jags are bringing in like Desormeaux – he may make some noise. It shows our Jaguars staff has done their homework.

And to think people were crying b/c we let go of Quinn Gray, well they can drive down to Orlando & watch him play, if he can win the starting job there…

Whoa, I had to read the article again

No way Keenan was better than Jimmy. Regardless of the “what-if” factor, Jimmy was the go-to guy. That’s like saying Robin was better than Batman.

And Torry Holt is clearly the best WR in Jags history, now that he’s a Jaguar. You can’t argue with the stats. Jimmy was awesome, but for whatever reason he could never find the end zone. (Please no chalk line jokes!)

Well i can remember

this time in winter, we were playing an “decently average” Detroit Lions team. It was overtime, yes a real shocker, and we won on a bomblLong throw to Jimmy Smith.

I have to disagree... I just don't have time to write 1-2 articles a day like I was able to before.

new player bios, new coach bios, new trainer bios.

Roster battles for training camp and OTA’s.

The fact that we got the best tackle in the draft at the #8 spot… old news, but still makes me excited.

Durant as MLB

Considine vs. B-Dub vs. Derek Cox…

Cox’s special influence on the roster

RB battles… how will it break down.
Owens, MJD, Jennings washington jones, pearman, who is gone?

Russ Purnell’s pantry of players.

early Opponent breakdown

Defensive linemen… who makes the cut

The progression of Harvey and Groves as a requirement for success.

Reasonable Expectations…

Anyone feel free to take these ideas. do them well and I’ll front page them.

Nice list although

I think you’re premature on some stuff. Do we REALLY need to know who’s fighting it out to be the third RB right now? I’d say that position battles for training camp. At least that’s what I’m thinking. I also think Durant as MLB is nothing more than an experiment. As far as the draft stuff and rookie impacts I’d expect that to be already covered at some point. I’m just really picky, I don’t like to retread, even slightly, on stuff I’ve already posted.

Considene vs B-Dub vs Cox is the subject of one of those two articles ;)
