The Big Cat: Your Training Camp Headquarters

by silencecs on Aug 5, 2009 4:35 AM EDT in Jacksonville Jaguars Quick Bytes

The Past...

The Future...

In an effort to make BCC your one-stop shop for all things involving the Jaguars' 2009 Training Camp, here are the stories and photos from training camp thus far.

The Observation Deck is open.

Michael Wright Interviews M. Owens.

Great photos from Training Camp Day 1.

Mort goes around the NFL.

Paul Kuharsky is quickly becoming the premier AFC South reporter... ESPN scored big landing him.

Gene Smith is clearly Del Rio's boss. Finally, there is a hierarchy in the Front Office, and that means accountability.

Smith expects to see Del Rio be more hands on again.

Henderson wants defense to be "fun" again... excuse me?!? Get to work Hen and forget about "fun"! Winning is "fun"... Making millions of dollars is "fun"... Work is not supposed to be "fun"... Am I the only one who is a little peeved at his comments?

Do you like this story?

Also, I saw where Glenn Dorsey showed up too fat to practice... TOO FAT and he's been in the league 1 year...

Stop calling for a trade for “Baby John”

Also, my favorite WR of the draft, DHB, is continuing to struggle… It happens to everyone in Oakland… the place men go to lose…

Oakland Raiders - a commitment to excrement

Well...

1st round WR’s haven’t exactly excelled here in Jacksonville either…

Also, the same rules that applied to Scouting Reports apply for Camp Reports

Do one and it’ll be added to the front page

"Hands On" means Man up and own the success

This points to the idea that Jack was “Hands Off” last year, as in checked out.

Receivers

I guess it just comes down to opinion, but it seems like everyone has a different perspective on which receivers are flashing ability. Here’s what I’ve heard about each receiver

Mike Walker: I’ve heard that he is looking promising to take over as the Num. 2 receiver and is ready to pick up where he left off before last season’s injury. I’ve also heard that he looks slow, and a bit sluggish.

Torry Holt: I’ve heard good things, like Garrard has him as his go-to target, and the guy still has a lot left in the tank. The only bad I’ve heard is he has to take practices off because of his knee.

Mike Thomas: I’ve heard he has shown good hands in camp, which was really the only question mark about him in my book. I’ve also heard his speed is really showing on the field.

Jarrett Dilliard: I’ve heard that this guy has been amazing and is getting great separation, but then I’ve also heard he has been quiet in some practices, and is struggling against the teams better corners. I’m really confused on this guy… I’m not all that sure what to think about him.

Tiquan Underwood: I’ve heard good things about this guy, even from Vic himself. Like Mike Thomas I’ve heard his speed is really showing through, and that he is using it to his advantage. I haven’t heard anything all that negative about him, except that he needs to get stronger.

Troy Williamson: I haven’t really heard anything about him at all, which leads me to believe that he isn’t getting reps, or he isn’t getting open enough in scrimmages.

All the other receivers I haven’t heard much of. I’m gonna try to get to one of their practices later in the week, probably Thursday. I also wanna see how the defense is looking, and Garrard’s performance, which I have heard has been spectacular.

Question

What is everyone’s opinion on Troy Williamson? Do you all think he still has a legit chance to make the team. I don’t think its looking all that good for him right now.

I've been told that he's dropping balls.

haha... I've heard the same...

I called it based on his twitter page… the guy tweets like a party animal, always patron’ this cap’n that…

Leading too…. anyone? Soft tissue injuries… He better get his head on straight and fast… he’s supposed to be a vet.

You'd think that a WR who can't catch

might be more concerned with working on that tiny issue as opposed to tweeting. Like a tree falling in an empty forest, would Troy being cut make a sound??? Anyone?

Watched that video above....

Was it just me or was Pashos working at right guard?

by reems28 on Aug 5, 2009 1:12 PM EDT reply actions

God I hope so!!!

I’ve been screaming for this all offseason – that position needs upgrade (as does center but there’s only so much to be done in one offseason). Britton on the outside and Pathos being a beast at guard – I love it. BUTTTTT we’ll have to wait and see won’t we?

by OGN on Aug 5, 2009 1:46 PM EDT up reply actions

Probably just cross training... Del Rio always does that during training camp....

It’s one thing I do admire about the way he forces players to know multiple positions, thereby increasing their versatility and understanding of the playbook…

Yes.

The way it should be done. This is particularly true on the O-line, where cooperation and covering for other guys is absolutely necessary.

Was there something you were seeing?

they aren't allowed... that was the only video you'll get of a T.C...

Chris already pulled it… I emailed him telling him I was posting it, and it was his call to take it down or not…

There is a video of Cox getting humiliated by C. Denmark… number 56 I think… I break down all 8 secs of it in the fanpost on the side

Henderson

It’s time to calm down with the Henderson hatred. Football is supposed to be fun. How can that possibly be upsetting?

by tdhedrick on Aug 5, 2009 1:29 PM EDT reply actions

Because winning isn't the only thing...

it’s everything…

Fun is for pop-warner… The NFL is a profession, and I could care less if he’s having fun… I’ll stop bashing Henderson when he starts to show up again… I haven’t seen him play up to his ability (or his pay) in years.

I don't know man.

I kind of agree with tdhedrick. Maybe not in those words, but along the same lines. I don’t think a player can have the passion necessary if they are disinterested in the game. I think this whole Henderson having “fun” thing is a good sign, as it just means he has his head in it again. Hopefully. As far as the pay, I agree with you.

DT is one of the most fun positions to watch

and if he would just play, then i could watch greatness happen

I’m not made John, i’m just dissapointed

My notes from Tuesday evening's training camp practice...

I’m just going to list off what I wrote at camp:

1. Zach Miller is a top flight athlete. He’s catching everything thrown his way (early catching drills. He is fast as hell.

2. First 11 v. 11 of practice: Holt makes beautiful sliding catch to his outside shoulder.

3. Harvey seemed to be doing very well lining up against Tra Thomas (Beating Thomas around the edge).

4. 11 v. 11- Zach Miller catches beautiful ball 20 yards up the seam. Good yac post catch.

5. MIKE WALKER did not look SLOW or SLUGISH at all.

6. Coverage drills- Rashean has a nice pick on the first play of the drill,

7. " " "- Jarrett Dillar loses helmet, continues running route and catches nice ball, in stride, over the middle.

8. Walker made a great diving catch while coming back to an underthrown ball by Garrard.

9. Zach Miller jumps over Ingram to make a beautiful catch on an in route.

10. 11 v. 11- Mojo breaks outside on a run to the left. Tra pulls very well. D-line contained and Mojo runs for 20 yards.

11. 1st O v. 1st D- Cox covers Holt very well… For a rookie.

12. Mike Walker makes a good catch with Cox holding onto his hips. The route was an inside slant off the LOS.

13. Tiquan, or Quan, as we’ve been calling him looks phenomenol. He has an amazing catch on a deep slant inside.

14. Bouman looks horendous.

15. # 13 runs the first kickoff all the way to the opposing endzone… Untouched.

16. That’s all I have.

Thanks Bro

5. Good, I think Mike Walker is poised for a 60 catch season.

14. Thats what worries me.

Good stuff, thanks

I’m especially pleased to hear that Walker is NOT looking slow/sluggish – was really shocked to read that elsewhere (and then pass it on here at BCC).

Miller is apparently doing very well, also heard that Cox is showing plenty of raw/unploished potential.
