Initial Thoughts – Jags and Colts... WE WERE IN THIS GAME!

I need to rewatch the game before I could tell you anything.

I think Tra won the job but got jipped. But o well we play pretty good for a rebuilding team

It certainly wasn’t a great game defensively, but I loved the way they swarmed and tackled. The effort was there. We were just getting picked apart on 3rd downs. The Colts were 8/14 on third downs.

Really the only thing that scares me about our defense is the lack of pass rush. If we don’t blitz, we don’t get pressure. We will need more from our DEs than we got today.

that the Colts were bad and we were lucky
OR thje arrow is really pointing up.
Hats off to: Maurice Drew, Derek Cox, Justin Durant
Needs to work: O-line, Passing game, Some people at the secondary

and Warner is like under 150 yards passing with an INT.

Do the Colts have a great defense?

- I think Tra won the starting job… seeing him on the injury report with a back injury makes me think it’s a lot worse than what’s being reported and thus Monroe starts. Also probably why we (or at least I myself) didn’t see Tra come in for a substiution. Though Garrard only got sacked once, he had a lot of pressure up in his face.

- Tackling was much better, except for Nelson… he did make some tackles but looked like he was dragging people down more than knocking them down. I just don’t understand… first year he comes out, he’s laying the wood… after year 2 he can only do dragging tackles.

- Colts ST won them the game by pinning us next to the goal line in the 4th… w/o that we would’ve had a much better chance to make it down the field for another Scobee field goal FTW

I feel like this team has got nowhere to go but up. Rookies performed admirably for their first time. Cox, Britton and Monroe took on some of the best the NFL has, Freeney Mathis, Wayne and Peyton and they did fairly well. This team will get better and better as our young guys get more snaps under their belt. Unfortunately we don’t have the luxury of time in our schedule so the development will need to be accelerated.

I’ll see you at the Jack in a week!

if if if. if we go by ifs then it goes both ways. if the colts score first, they may turn into a laugher. the jags dominated last year and win one. the colts dominate this one and win. ifs dont count in the win column

I thought derek cox did excellent considering he was covering one of the best recievers in football.

garrard will never lead this team anywhere

the run d was good for you but the colts were on your end of the field the entire day. bend but dont break. this was your superbowl game. sorry but its more than if if if. its who scores more points. even IF its only one

but simply you have no offense. williamson declared for real in preseason once again. forget it. this guy is a waste. you have an old holt and mjd can not be your only source of o. he is going to run out of gas by game 5

this was your superbowl. if as you keep saying you win this one, you have huge momentum going into the rest of the season. but as for the colts, this was a division win and no one game is more important than the other.

good luck the rest of the year

 DOES ANYONE HAVE YAHOO MESSY AND WANT TO PLAY LITERATI???? PLEASE I AM BORED

THE GAME IS LIKE SCRAMBLE
IF SO ADD ME AT CRYSTALSTEVENS88@YAHOO.COM

We lost the game there, we didn’t put the presure, they did. They win.

The Jaguars defense played outstanding in some cases…This was the first real game using the 3-4. We did hold the Colts defense under 100 yard rushing (I remember the Colts saying that they will improve in the area this year)…I know we got torched for 300 yards, but that’s what you expect when Peyton Manning (MVP) has to throw the ball 35+ times to only come away with a 2 point victory at home to a somewhat revamped Jags roster.

With that said, if the Jaguars play defense like they did in the first game, I look for a big season from them.

I expected the rookie tackles to struggle against the Free/Mathis, but when you have your big target TE giving chip blocks that’s a problem. Let’s hope Eugene Monroe improves as the year goes on…

Overall, I expected the Jags to compete and they did. Within the next few weeks, I expect Mike Walker to be in the starting line-up as the Jags need a play maker besides MJD. If he gets the bulk of touches like that, he won’t last the season…

The Jags had a good game. Look at the numbers… I mean it’s Payton ‘the devil’ Manning for cripe sake. We had him on his heels. I’ll take this ‘Bend don’t Break’ defense over that mess they were putting on the field last year any day of the week! and here’s the thing with E. Monroe and the rest of the rookies. You make the decision and you have to live by it. Getting all waffley and pulling players and rotating is going to do nothing but promote negativity. Yeah, I thought Tra was the better pick to start, but the coaching staff must have saw something that said it was close enough to get this guy some baptism by fire. I would be almost willing to bet Eugene will get the better of Sweeny next time.

If in Dec. 2008 you said the Jags would lose the opener to Indy 12-14 I would have thought you neded your head examined. The arrow is pointing up on this franchise. Enjoy the growth!

the best linebackers in the business this year. I’m sure by the end of the year a lot more people will agree with me. Terrance Knighton didn’t have a bad day. Tyron Brackenridge and Derek Cox weren’t that bad. Sure Derek got burned by Reggie Wayne, but so will a lot of veterans. And I like Torry Holt’s swag when he catches the ball. He didn’t light it up, but look at him when he makes the catch.
